Mind God

"You're courting death!"

The Evil God immediately locked onto Lin Xiao.

Xiao Mo seized this moment to launch a swift counterattack, whipping out her lash and forcefully interrupting the Evil God's assault.

"Die!"

The Evil God was completely enraged. The evil energy surrounding him instantly surged like black flames, and his blood-red eyes burned with towering fury and endless killing intent. He spun around, transforming into a black lightning bolt, instantly locking onto Lin Xiao in the distance.

He regretted it.

He should have killed this ant-like human in front of him first.

Originally, victory was assured, but he didn't know what that human did, and the scales of victory tipped once again.

Now, the Evil God was blinded by rage and determined to kill Lin Xiao.

Just at this critical moment, Xiao Mo's eyes were like torches, spotting the flaw the Evil God had finally exposed.

The long whip in her hand was like an awakened Flood Dragon, raised high amid the howling wind, then carrying immense force, it struck hard toward the Evil God with lightning speed.

The tip of the whip tore through the sky, letting out a sharp, piercing crack. It forcefully interrupted the Evil God's fierce attack, its imposing power drawing attention.

With the supplementary Thought Power from the dungeon, Xiao Mo's condition improved steadily, and she gave the Evil God no further chances until she killed him.

"I should have gotten rid of you first!"

The Evil God let out a miserable shriek, his hateful voice echoing across the sky before finally being extinguished beneath Xiao Mo's long whip.

[With the constant replenishment of Thought Power, Xiao Mo's eyes shone brightly. The long whip in her hand was like an agile python, dancing lethal arcs in the air, pressing him hard with every move, giving the Evil God no chance to breathe, vowing to utterly crush him.

"I should have gotten rid of you first!"

He let out a desperate, miserable shriek toward the sky, his hateful voice seeming capable of piercing the firmament.

In the final moments of his life, he exhausted his remaining strength, glaring viciously at Lin Xiao, his gaze seemingly poisoned, as if cursing Lin Xiao to never find peace in the future.

Finally, under the increasingly fierce lashes of Xiao Mo's whip, the Evil God's body gradually dissolved into wisps of black smoke, vanishing between heaven and earth, leaving behind only dead silence.

As the Evil God's final wisp of hateful residual soul completely dissipated under Xiao Mo's fierce whipping, the evil energy lost its source, aimlessly scattering and gradually thinning out.

The intertwining storm of power dissipated, revealing the scarred earth. Bottomless ravines crisscrossed the ground, tragic marks left by the collision of their powers.

Xiao Mo stood in place, holding her long whip, her chest rising and falling slightly as she gasped for breath.

Her gaze remained vigilant as she scanned the surroundings. Only after confirming that the Evil God had no possibility of rebirth did she finally relax.

After confirming the Evil God's complete demise, Xiao Mo slowly retracted her long whip and walked toward Lin Xiao.

Before Lin Xiao could thank her first, Xiao Mo spoke up, "Thank you."

"I should be thanking you. Without you, today would have been dicey."

Even he hadn't expected this place to be the Evil God's sealed location. If Xiao Mo hadn't appeared, he likely would have met his end here today.

Even the resurrection ability of the earth preservation set wouldn't have helped.

Xiao Mo shook her head. "As long as you reached this place, I was bound to appear. I thank you because I finally got a chance for revenge."

Suddenly, Xiao Mo remembered something. She sharply looked behind her, and seeing the emptiness there, a hint of displeasure appeared on her face.

"Those two stowaways ran away. I actually let them slip past."

She was naturally referring to the Woman in Black Robe and the War Chief.

Remembering that the Woman in Black Robe and the War Chief used special methods to enter this place, Lin Xiao couldn't help but ask curiously, "If they had succeeded, what would have happened to you?"

Xiao Mo looked at the gradually disappearing dungeon and said lightly, "I probably would have died immediately, because the first thing the Evil God would do after breaking the seal is destroy this place."

"But fortunately, you came, cleared the path all the way here, and obtained the final treasure I left behind, which gave you the power to fight the Evil God."

Fighting the Evil God... Lin Xiao glanced at Xiao Mo and couldn't help but ask, "Are you also... a God?"

Definitely!

If not, where did she get the power to fight the Evil God?

Xiao Mo: "Consider me half a god. You can call me—God of Thought."

"God of Thought..." Lin Xiao murmured the name.

He recalled the rewards he received in the dungeon, and the name of the dungeon he was currently in, all related to "Thought Power," which was Xiao Mo's ability.

"Half a god? What does that mean? Are you just a Demigod?"

Lin Xiao heard that Xiao Mo seemed not yet to be a true God.

Xiao Mo nodded. "You could say that. I only acquired the 'Godhead' but haven't obtained the 'god seat' yet. The Evil God was the same."

Godhead... god seat... This was the first time Lin Xiao had encountered these new concepts.

He knew that Gods existed, but he had no idea how they were classified. Now, he glimpsed a corner of that knowledge from Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo continued, "When you reach Level 100, the peak of humanity, you will have the opportunity to step into a higher domain—the God-tier Domain!"

"It's very difficult. As far as I know, no one in our world has truly reached the God-tier."

Even she was only a Demigod.

Xiao Mo looked at Lin Xiao and said, "Perhaps you have a chance."

"Me?"

"Yes. Didn't you obtain a trace of the Evil God's power? Once you reach Level 100, you can use that trace of power to glimpse the 'Godhead.'

Of course, you could also directly inherit the Evil God's 'Godhead,' but I don't recommend doing that. The Evil God was evil, and inheriting his 'Godhead' would affect you, causing you to gradually become evil."

Lin Xiao listened to this knowledge, which he shouldn't have been exposed to at his current stage. After pondering for a moment, he couldn't help but raise a question.

"Isn't the Godhead fixed? Like the God of Fire, God of Water, etc. Can they be derived spontaneously?"

Xiao Mo didn't play the Riddler. Although this was still very distant for Lin Xiao, she was certain he would reach that level.

"That's right. There are no predetermined things or events in the world. What you consider predetermined was merely created a long time ago."

"The 'Godhead' can be derived; it's just more difficult—not as simple as inheriting one. But the advantage is that it is perfectly compatible with oneself."

"If you reach the God-tier, possess a 'Godhead' and a 'god seat,' and then you die, your Godhead won't vanish. Instead, it will turn into a 'Special Entity.'

If a fated person obtains it, they will inherit your 'Godhead' and 'god seat.'"

*Whoosh*—

A sound of sand sliding came from the distance. Most of the dungeon area turned into motes of light and vanished completely, then transformed into wisps of Thought Power that integrated into Xiao Mo's body.

"There isn't much time left." Xiao Mo glanced at the disappearing area, then looked at Lin Xiao. "I have one question."

"Please speak."

"How did you manage to let me re-absorb the dungeon's power?"

This dungeon was constructed using her power.

It was like spilled water; it couldn't be taken back.

But Lin Xiao used some unknown method that allowed her to re-absorb it, the consequence of which was naturally the collapse of the dungeon.
