Pre-death assessment

We've talked so much about Jiang Luo, Li Ming, and the others.

But throughout the entire process, he didn't mention a single word about Ling Wu himself.

"What was that thing you were wearing before?"

Liu Ruyan then asked, "Those... nails, they look like some kind of strange seal?"

"The original sealing formation had seven corners, which meant seven nails."

"Now, two are broken, leaving only five."

"That thing you mentioned... the fruit formed from the power absorbed by the Death God's clone seed, can it break the seal?"

"How did you get this seal in the first place?"

Once one seal is broken, Ling Wu will be comparable to the giant infant in the second seal.

Having broken the second seal, Ling Wu's true strength has yet to be fully revealed.

Anyway... they are definitely far beyond my five realms.

How terrifying was he before he was sealed away?

"I don't need to tell you that for now."

Ling Wu stood up and said with a smile, "You can't exactly strip me completely naked, can you?"

Seeing that Ling Wu didn't speak, Liu Ruyan could only sigh.

Since he's not saying anything, he must have his own reasons.

Then there's no need for me to ask any more questions.

"You'll eventually tell me, won't you?"

Liu Ruyan continued.

"Hmm, you're starting to understand things." Ling Wu smiled.

Liu Ruyan glanced at him. After all this time, how could I not know your little tricks?

Everything he says must have a reason.

There must be a reason why he doesn't say anything.

"Let's go out for a walk."

Ling Wu then waved and said, "Didn't you say you were going to treat Karina to dinner? Let's pick a place."

"What are your plans?"

Liu Ruyan was a little curious. Would their next move be related to Karina?

"She probably knows something about the four major cities and the superpower storage site. We'll try to get as much information as we can out of her," Ling Wu said with a smile.

Liu Ruyan shook her head helplessly.

Although Karina is his friend, this is somewhat of a way of taking advantage of her.

But... she won't suffer any losses anyway.

So she stood up and went out with Ling Wu.

……

For the rest of the time, Ling Wu's entire team stayed inside Xuanwu City.

He just wanders around all day, looking at this and that.

They are now like spies, hiding among the common people of Xuanwu City, constantly exploring the hidden places of Xuanwu City.

Initially, their investigation mainly focused on the central government area.

Later, after Karina mentioned it, they discovered that the storage location of the superpowers was not at all in the ruling center.

But it's on... a farm!

Farms are the source of food production for an entire city, and in fact, their importance even surpasses that of the governing center.

After several days of investigation, Ling Wu and the others finally learned the truth.

The storage place for superpowers is located in the farm's biological research center.

Therefore, in accordance with Ling Wu's plan, everyone took action.

……

At the farm gate, Li Ming summoned a transport vehicle.

Transport vehicles come and go from the farm every day, since the entire Xuanwu City's food supply comes from here.

Large quantities of grain, fruit, and meat were transported from here and then distributed in batches to various parts of Xuanwu City.

The vehicle Li Ming is driving now is a transport vehicle specifically for the farm.

That's right, it was summoned.

It is precisely because it is summoned that it can be so realistically faked.

drop!

The license plate and vehicle unique code were successfully recognized, and Li Ming drove into the farm.

Besides him, Li Qingxue and others were also in the car at that moment.

Everyone in the team was in the car.

Except for Ling Wu!

Ling Wu's plan for them was to find a way to steal their superpowers.

If you can't steal it, then rob it.

If Liu Ruyan were to unleash the flames of the fifth realm, Xuanwu City would have to consider the consequences before taking any action.

Especially on farms, once the terrifying heat fully erupts, the entire farm will be burned to ashes.

This is no joke.

Once the farm is gone, the city's food supply will become a major problem in the short term.

"Why does this feel like we're robbing a bank?"

Inside the car, Zhao Yuqian chuckled.

A group of people disguised themselves and entered the farm.

Try stealing first; if you can't steal, then rob.

If all else fails, then use Liu Ruyan as a bomb, threatening to blow up the farm.

This is just like in real life, a group of criminals robbing a bank!

"Sigh, even though I'm leaving, I still have to leave behind a bad reputation."

Guan Hao shook his head and sighed helplessly.

The probability of successfully stealing something in a short time is naturally very low.

In the end, they will most likely end up fighting each other.

By then, everyone will know.

Their team is going to be hated by everyone.

"What's there to be afraid of? Anyway, I'll never be coming here again."

Liu Ruyan said, "If you don't have enough superpowers, you'll be the ones who die down there."

Stealing some superpowers wouldn't be a big loss for someone in the third dimension.

Leaving a bad reputation is no big deal.

"The captain has already said that we don't need to fight for what we already have."

Li Ming continued, "So we'll just take a little bit, it won't cause them much loss, of course... provided that we don't actually start a full-blown war!"

As they spoke, the group arrived at the cargo area.

"Let's get started!"

Li Ming then got out of the car, and the group began to try to divert attention and sneak into the biological research institute.

……

While Li Ming and his group were on their way, Ling Wu arrived at Vermilion Bird City.

Tian Yao drove her private car with Ling Wu in tow.

Ling Wu called her, and she went to pick him up.

"You haven't gotten superpowers yet?"

The two hovered above Suzaku City, admiring its sci-fi scenery amidst the skyscrapers.

"Almost...almost there!"

Tian Yao quickly said, "But... it will be soon. Wait for me for a while, and I'll go rescue a few more people."

She was afraid that Ling Wu would leave early.

If she were asked to venture into anything below the fourth level by herself, she certainly wouldn't dare.

If you're going, you have to go with Ling Wu and the others.

After all, she knew nothing about the other pre-death assessment spaces.

"Forget it!"

Ling Wu shook his head and said, "You'd better... stay here."

Upon hearing this, Tian Yao felt a chill run down her spine.

So, he doesn't want to take me down with him?

Does he ultimately feel that he is useless?

That's true, he doesn't have any special abilities, and he's so much worse than his teammates and other girlfriends.

How could he possibly keep such a burden by his side?

"However... you still have a chance to go to the present world."

Ling Wu continued, "If one day, the entire pre-death assessment space is completely overturned, everyone will be able to go to the mortal world."

Tian Yao, of course, did not understand what Ling Wu meant by those words.

The entire pre-death assessment space was completely overturned. How exactly was it overturned?

"You mean...you're going to overturn the entire pre-death assessment space?"

She then tried asking.

"Highly likely!"

Ling Wu said with a smile, "After all, in the end... the pre-death assessment space is hell."

Don't be fooled by the fact that this third layer has four major cities, and everything seems peaceful.

But in reality, hell is hell!

For the people here, life ultimately ends in death, and so does the body.

In the end, everyone is nothing more than nourishment for death.

The seven spaces for pre-death assessments are all incubators for death, and everyone is nourishment for them.

"That……"

Tian Yao lowered her head slightly: "Will I be able to wait until that day?"

When will the pre-death assessment space be completely overturned?

Ten years? Twenty years? Fifty years?

I will be born, grow old, get sick, and die!

Even in the four major cities, there are extremely advanced technological means that can treat most injuries and illnesses.

The average lifespan of all people is very high.

But eventually, they will all die.

Will I be able to live to see the day Ling Wu spoke of?

"We can wait."

Ling Wu smiled and said, "It won't be long! This hell has existed for far too long; it should have... ceased to exist long ago!"

Tian Yao couldn't fully understand what he was saying at the moment.

But Tian Yao still nodded.

"Alright, let's... say goodbye here!"

At this moment, Ling Wu suddenly said something.

"Are you...you're leaving already?" Tian Yao asked, somewhat reluctant to see them go.

"We have to leave!"

Ling Wu smiled faintly.

As they were talking, a news broadcast suddenly came from the large screen of the building in front of them.

Back in Xuanwu City, the farm was invaded; someone infiltrated the research center, intending to steal superpowers.

A fight has broken out on the scene.

The images projected onto the big screen show the various garrison forces of Xuanwu City heading towards the farm to provide support.

Just then, a giant fire phoenix soared into the sky from the farm.

The intense flames turned the entire Xuanwu City a crimson red.

"Those are... your teammates?"

Tian Yao was shocked when she saw the news footage.

Why would Ling Wu's teammates want to steal the superpowers stored up in Xuanwu City?

"Yes, he's my teammate."

Ling Wu nodded calmly: "I told them to do it this way!"

Upon hearing this, Tian Yao's pupils trembled.

What the hell?

So what does Ling Wu want to do?

"The reason I came to Suzaku City today is actually to seize the superpowers here."

Ling Wu then smiled and said, "Goodbye, Little Yao."

He waved one last time, then jumped out of the car.

"Feed..."

Tian Yao wanted to say something more or ask something more.

However, Ling Wu's body was already in freefall, and finally he landed on the ground with a thud.

And below... is the farm of Suzaku City.

Tian Yao looked down and saw Ling Wu standing on the ground, with a circle of black mist suddenly rising from his feet.

That ring of black energy, like a black swamp, began to corrode downwards.

Ling Wu unleashed his full decomposition ability, corroding the soil directly from the ground all the way to the biological research center beneath the farm.

The guards didn't even have time to react before he reached his destination.

At this moment, in the biological research center, inside the glass display case at the front, there were some different kinds of beads.

There are many, dozens!

"Captain, our side... it's empty inside."

Just then, Li Ming and the others' voices came through Ling Wu's earpiece.

They forcibly invaded the farm biological research center in Xuanwu City.

But it's empty inside!

All superpowers are not there.

"Yes, I know!"

Ling Wu smiled and said, "They're all here in Suzaku City."

"Ling Wu!!!"

The next moment, a roar suddenly rang out, and the Lord of Vermilion Bird City, dressed in a set of purple-gold-red battle armor, swept in from afar and landed in front of Ling Wu with a thud.
