521: Chapter 519 One Word to Defeat

A faint voice rang out.

An illusory figure emerged from Chu Xuan's shoulder, floating in mid-air.

It was a middle-aged man with a tall, straight posture, frost-white temples, and deep eyes.

As his calm gaze swept across.

Demon Concubine, who was trembling, suddenly halted her movement just as she was about to strike Chu Xuan's face.

"You actually dare to appear here?" Deep wariness appeared in Demon Concubine's eyes, followed by a sudden smile. "This is just a wisp of your Split Soul."

"With this wisp of Split Soul as a medium, do you think my true body can come over and strike you with a sword?" the middle-aged man spoke calmly.

"You don't dare to come."

"You can try."

Demon Concubine fell silent for a moment, then her eyes flickered as she glanced at Chu Xuan. Her voice trembled, yet she still let out a charming, seductive laugh. "Purifier, we will definitely meet again..."

As she spoke, just as Chu Xuan felt he was about to completely assimilate her, her soft and delicate palms tremblingly pressed against her own face.

Splat!

Like a watermelon bursting.

Demon Concubine's head, which almost touched the ceiling, instantly exploded. As blood splattered, her tall and graceful body disintegrated inch by inch.

[Your Assimilation target is in a different world from you; this Assimilation is invalid.]

[Remaining Assimilation Uses: 1]

Demon Concubine vanished, leaving only the lingering sound of her light laughter: "Purifier... I've got my sights set on you..."

"Got your sights set on me?"

A cold glint appeared in Chu Xuan's eyes, and he immediately prepared to use Dream Return to go back and attempt to assimilate her once more.

"Wait..." the illusory man standing in mid-air suddenly spoke. "Although I don't know what you plan to do, I suggest you don't..."

"What do you know?"

Chu Xuan looked up; the man was clearly in the likeness of Yang Yu.

In that instant, Chu Xuan remembered when the other man had left, he had patted his shoulder and taken away the Evil God's Sure-Kill Guidance.

Presumably, it was at that time that he had also left this wisp of Split Soul on him.

"I don't know, but I vaguely sensed a blurry guidance telling me to stop you, to not do it..." Yang Yu slowly descended, his deep eyes gazing at Chu Xuan.

"I am the Child of the World, a product of this world's endangered self-rescue. I can feel the vague world will, and as someone being watched by the world..."

He paused slightly and shook his head gently. "Don't do it, at least not yet..."

Chu Xuan met Yang Yu's gaze, his eyes narrowing slightly.

What wasn't the right time?

Was it not the time to use world-class Assimilation?

Earlier, when Chu Xuan had prepared to assimilate the White Tiger but was prompted with "Assimilation not recommended," he had vaguely sensed that the world-class Assimilation he obtained after killing the Night Demon for the second time was not simple.

There might be some special profound meaning behind it.

With a flash of thought, Chu Xuan asked, "What is the world will? What does it want to do? Based on what you just said, you couldn't be the manifestation of the world will, could you?"

Hearing this, Yang Yu chuckled and shook his head.

"Of course not. Like you, I am human. It's just that during the process of resisting the Specter invasion and the large-scale Gloom Invasion, I became the Child of the World. Of course... you could also say I am a product of the collision of rules."

Yang Yu said softly, "As for what the world will is? It is formless and shapeless, just as the Heavenly Dao is heartless and the Dao cannot be spoken... You can view it as the laws of nature. The reason we can become transcendent and bind with the System is all formed by the world for self-rescue after encountering the Gloom Invasion."

Seeing Chu Xuan in deep thought, Yang Yu added, "To use a common analogy, take rain for example. This phenomenon occurs because water vapor forms clouds through certain physical and chemical changes. The clouds then go through processes like rising and cooling, which causes the water vapor to return to a liquid state and gradually condense into droplets, forming precipitation."

"And?" Chu Xuan arched an eyebrow.

Yang Yu: "So, the guidance I receive from the world can also be seen as a law of nature... You might not understand, but all of this is the result of a global game and the collision of rules."

Chu Xuan rubbed his increasingly throbbing forehead.

Similar words had been told to him more than once by [Future Tang Zheng].

He could understand Yang Yu's words.

In short, the world will has no emotions and does not shift according to human will; everything is the result of natural development.

After a moment's thought, Chu Xuan finally gave up on the idea of using Dream Return to go back and secretly use Assimilation on Demon Concubine.

This wasn't because he completely trusted Yang Yu.

It was also because world-class Assimilation could still serve as a trump card; as long as he didn't play it, he would always have it.

Then he asked, "Have you met Demon Concubine before?"

"You want to ask why, with my strength, I didn't kill her, right?"

Yang Yu seemed to have guessed Chu Xuan's thoughts and slowly shook his head. "My previous God-Slaying Strike did not originate from my own power, but was transformed from the world's self-rescue force. I waited a long time just to be able to strike down a god, and the price was extremely high..."

Sighing softly, Yang Yu gave a light laugh. "So those words just now were only to scare her off and make her leave of her own accord. In reality, my true body is trapped in the Central Dark Place; it's not that easy for me to come here."

"If that's the case, then why did you leave a Split Soul on me?" Chu Xuan pondered for a moment before finally asking the question in his heart.
