213: Where to go now?

"Yang Yan!"

[Yang Yan: The holiest flame, light that purifies all things.]

The Consultant and others stood by, no one disturbing the farewell of these old friends.

What exactly was that, something even an 8th-tier King of Beasts couldn't resist?!

The Consultant's expression was solemn; the system's introduction just now seemed to imply something.

When the soaring flames died down, only a dark mark remained on the ground. Yog, the Crystal Dragon, had vanished forever.

"Silver Fire, what exactly happened?"

The Consultant waited for Silver Fire to compose itself before asking.

Silver Fire, having personally sent off an old friend, looked somewhat dejected, even its normally erect whiskers drooped weakly.

Facing the Consultant's question, Silver Fire was silent for a moment, its expression gradually turning grave.

"It's time for the Corrupting Power to erupt again."

"Corrupting Power?"

Du Ruo, standing nearby, looked utterly confused, serving as a perfect straight man.

"Simply put, the Emerald Dreamscape is a small world created by a demigod, possessing all the elements of a normal world, but something went wrong with the cycle of reincarnation."

"The beings who die in this land, their physical bodies and spirits all enter reincarnation, but their evil does not. It can only sink to the deepest part of this land."

"When the evil accumulates to its limit, Corrupting Power is born."

"They are the purest evil, the source of all chaos, and will only bring destruction to this world."

Holy crap!

After hearing the Silver Fire Dragon's explanation, the Consultant and others were impressed without fully understanding.

For some inexplicable reason, the Consultant recalled the infamous Scavengers from Earth.

"So the Crystal Dragon was eroded by the Corrupting Power."

The Silver Fire Dragon nodded heavily, its eyes filled with an indescribable depth.

"This era's corruption tide has arrived... No matter who it is, as long as they touch even a little, they will be eroded and eventually become puppets of the Corrupting Power."

The Consultant instinctively wanted to find a safe place to hide first. After all, listening to the Silver Fire Dragon, the Corrupting Power sounded like Resident Evil, and a single mistake could lead to the complete annihilation of the Emerald Dreamscape.

"Is there no solution?"

"Only the power of light and holiness can contend with it."

Du Ruo saw the sadness in the Silver Fire Dragon's eyes and wanted to comfort it, but unexpectedly, this was a sudden celestial change!

The sky darkened again.

Only this time, it wasn't something falling, but rather—

The sky of the Emerald Dreamscape—collapsed!

Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!!!

The formerly azure sky now looked as if someone had poked a hole in it with a needle, and visible blackness drifted from the hole towards the world.

The Consultant stared at the sky dumbfounded, a million curses forming in his heart!

[Due to the corruption of the divine beast Qilin, the Emerald Dreamscape's eroded space has undergone an anomaly. It is recommended to eat well and be full for your journey.]

Damn, even such a powerful Qilin was corrupted?!

Just as the Consultant and others were shocked by the anomaly in the heavens and earth, the nearby bushes rustled, and two pitch-black unknown creatures emerged from them, approaching the Consultant and his group.

These two guys definitely don't look like good news!

While they were still some distance away, the Consultant quickly used the system's analysis function.

[Monster Name: Boar Wolf. (Corrupted)]

[Level: ???.]

[Race: ???.]

[Personality: Chaotic Evil.]

[Description: A poor worm controlled by Corrupting Power.]

[System Evaluation: They are here. Are you ready?]

The Consultant looked at the analysis, then at the two dark, vaguely humanoid creatures in front of him, and his mouth twitched twice involuntarily.

How did it suddenly turn into Resident Evil mode???

"You all retreat, be careful not to get contaminated by the Corrupting Power!"

The Silver Fire Dragon flapped its wings, came to the front of the group, and was about to unleash a Yang Yan.

"Wait, Silver Fire. Let me try. With the current celestial anomaly, we can't always rely on you to deal with them every time."

The Consultant stopped Silver Fire, looked at the approaching corrupted creatures, and shouted loudly.

"Duen Dwen, Light attribute, Light Pierce!"

This move, the Consultant rarely used, but now with attribute counters, it was perfect for the situation!

Bing Dwen Dwen leaped from my head, its round body emitting a soft glow, and then a pillar of light shot out from its body, heading towards the corrupted creatures!

The pillar of light arrived in an instant, like a hot knife cutting through butter. The corrupted creatures didn't even react before they were melted by the light pillar.

Nice!

The Consultant excitedly patted Duen Dwen, who had delivered a one-hit kill. He simply let Bing Dwen Dwen maintain its light attribute and travel with a ball of light above its head.

If this were still on Earth, seeing me with a ball of light above my head, wouldn't people think I was the Son of God descended?

The Consultant's thoughts briefly drifted, then he quickly refocused.

Although the crisis was temporarily averted, the system had clearly stated just now that this was just the beginning, and bigger things were yet to come.

"Silver Fire, we can't worry about the vermilion orb for now. Where can we go?"
