31: A gift from high-dimensional readers - "urge for updates"!

Su Ke Ke’s divine sense and the Authority of Calamity.

Transformed into a black-glowing sharp cone.

Piercing into the surging, roaring River of Time.

That was not a calm lake surface.

Instead, it was a chaotic waterfall woven from countless possibilities of past, present, and future.

If an ordinary Tier 4 existence were to intrude, she would have long since perished.

However.

How tenacious was Su Ke Ke’s will?

She used her longing for her best friend as an anchor, her monstrous rage as power, and the misfortune of the Authority of Calamity as a shield.

She stubbornly withstood the erosion of the temporal torrent.

But problems quickly arose.

—She couldn’t find it! She couldn’t see it! She couldn’t hear it!

That area was like an absolute black hole.

Any probing divine sense that entered would be drawn into nothingness, receiving no feedback.

Inside the live stream.

Everyone held their breath, some even unable to watch.

Su Ke Ke’s face visibly paled at a speed discernible to the naked eye.

A trace of golden divine blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

This was a sign of excessive consumption of her divine soul!

[Nine Nether Demon Lord]: No! The opponent’s status is too high! Such a method of severing karma can only be achieved by an existence at least at the peak of Tier 7! The streamer is only Tier 4; if she keeps pushing like this, she will die!

[Star Sea Traveler]: That’s right, little girl, stop. Zhang Wei is just a mortal; if she dies, she dies.

However.

Su Ke Ke’s choice exceeded everyone’s expectations.

A mad resolve flashed in her eyes.

Since she couldn’t find “existence,” she would do the opposite!

She began to frantically burn her divine power, consuming her life at all costs.

Unleashing the power of the Authority of Calamity to its extreme!

Her will was no longer “searching,” but transformed into a “curse”!

She was cursing the entire world!

Cursing all “good luck” and “normalcy”!

She wanted to find that absolute “Singularity of Misfortune” that all normal karma and all fortunate possibilities avoided!

Because only the most terrifying, most inauspicious existence could be worthy of this “honor”!

This was a mutually destructive method of searching!

In just a moment, her divine sense cone.

Slammed into an invisible barrier!

The truth, like the most violent flood.

Instantly overwhelmed her will!

She saw it!

She saw a mysterious starfield located deep within an unknown universe, shrouded in gray mist!

She saw that fellow named Moluo, frantically escaping from that starfield.

She saw the founding monarch of Great Xia.

How he was forcibly taken away from the starfield by a giant hand that could not be described in words!

She remembered.

The mysterious coordinates left on the remnant World Tree root.

Its ultimate destination was the core of this mysterious starfield!

All the clues, all the mysteries.

All connected at this moment!

“Ancestral Dragon Court”… perhaps it was not a dragon race power at all.

It was merely a decorative facade within that terrifying starfield!

A chill rose from the depths of Su Ke Ke’s heart.

Her whole body was trembling, not from anger.

But from the purest, most primal fear and despair.

Her peak Tier 4 power was no different from a god to mortals.

But what did it count for against that giant hand that could snatch away a Tier 7 powerhouse?

It wasn’t even a speck of dust!

Endless darkness, and a bottomless sense of powerlessness.

Left Su Ke Ke bewildered.

What should she do?

With what could she rescue Zhang Wei?

With what could she fight against such a monster?

Just in this abyss of despair.

Su Ke Ke remembered the many powerful beings in the live stream.

That was her only hope, and her last chance!

Her eyes shifted from a hollow bewilderment.

To a complete madness of betting everything!

In her heart, she let out a trembling roar with all her might.

Gu Jianghan’s “mouth” curved into a playful smile.

This “streamer” he had chosen, after a brief despair.

She had learned to use the stage.

Su Ke Ke straightened her slightly hunched back, which was bent from the consumption of her divine soul.

She raised her head.

And pleaded with every powerful being who was peeking into her destiny.

“Seniors and fellow Daoists of the Multiverse!”

“I, Su Ke Ke, the new god of Calamity and Misfortune!”

“Hereby, I swear by my divine name! The unknown existence in that starfield has abducted my only best friend in this life! This hatred is irreconcilable!”

“I know that all of you possess vast divine abilities and boundless magic power. If any senior is willing to lend me a hand to rescue my friend, I, Su Ke Ke, am willing to offer everything I have! My loyalty, my divine power, and even all my future, can be given as repayment!”

Her voice was resonant and firm.

It carried both the majesty of a god and the resolve of a mortal.

These words instantly ignited the live stream.

[Daoist Master Cang Xuan]: What courage! A mere new god, yet possessing such spirit! This old man is somewhat tempted.

[King of Ten Thousand Dragons]: Hmph, somewhat interesting. If I can thwart the plans of those few mudfish, this King wouldn’t mind making a move.

However.

Just as some powerful beings began to weigh the pros and cons of making a move.

A panicked bullet screen flashed across.

[Nine Nether Demon Lord]: Wait! Are you all crazy?! Didn’t you clearly see the world she’s in?! That’s the Cradle of Original Sin!!!

The four words “Cradle of Original Sin”.

Seemed to contain the most terrifying magic in the world.

Plunging the entire live stream into instant silence.

Just three seconds later.

The bullet screen erupted with a hundredfold more frenzy!

[Star Sea Traveler]: Holy crap! Cradle of Original Sin?! That place known as the “Supreme Graveyard”?! I didn’t see wrong, did I?!’

[Buddha Huian]: Amitabha… Sin, sin! Benefactress, retreat quickly! This place is an extremely ominous land, where three Tier 10 Daoists and one Tier 11 Buddha once perished! If we were to descend, that sleeping Tier 12 terror would likely awaken immediately! At that time, all would be lost!

The truth was laid bare.

They didn’t not want to save her, but they dared not!

If they didn’t come, Su Ke Ke would at most fight Tier 9 “minions.”

But once powerful beings above Tier 10 descended.

It would be like lighting a bonfire in a dark forest and shouting, “I’m an idiot.”

Instantly attracting the top predators.

And so, in the next second.

A highly comical scene unfolded in the live stream.

The powerful beings who had just been righteously indignant.

As if to cover up their fear and embarrassment, began to frantically “tip” Su Ke Ke!

[Ding! [Daoist Master Cang Xuan] tipped ‘Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir’ x1!]

[Ding! [Future Heavenly Emperor - Huang] tipped ‘Fragment of Enlightenment on the Other-Self Freedom Method’ x1!]

[Ding! [Buddha Huian] tipped ‘Great Sun Tathagata True Scripture’ x1!]

[Ding! [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] tipped ‘Ancestral Dragon Reverse Scale’ x1!]

Countless treasures of light submerged Su Ke Ke.

They used wealth to build a fortress named “sympathy.”

Protecting their cowardly hearts within it.

The resources she received were enough to make any deity envious.

But her heart, however, plunged into an even deeper ice cellar than before.

She understood, no one was coming.

She was abandoned by the entire world.

She possessed the sharpest sword and the strongest shield in the world.

Yet she found herself alone, having to challenge a terror that even gods and Buddhas would fall to.

The flicker of hope was completely extinguished by the sky-filling treasures.

Gu Jianghan looked at the young girl on the screen, enveloped by endless wealth.

Her eyes, however, were dead, and he revealed a satisfied “smile.”

This second despair was even richer and more delicious than the first.

It was time for him, the director, to personally appear.

To present the true “cheat” to his most outstanding streamer.

His will was no longer limited to connecting the Multiverse.

But upwards, upwards, and further upwards.

Penetrating endless dimensional walls.

Entering the boundary between reality and illusion.

Cast into a higher realm that viewed “worlds” as “books.”

And “sentient beings” as “words.”

That was a high-dimensional information plane.

Gu Jianghan packaged Su Ke Ke’s destiny.

—Her birth, her struggle, her despair, her tragic and beautiful image of being submerged in treasure light but with a dead heart at this moment.

—Along with the entire setting of the “Cradle of Original Sin” world, into a “story.”

Then.

He cast the “reading permission” of this story.

Towards that space that even gods and Buddhas could not peer into, belonging to the true “high-dimensional reality”… that ineffable high-dimensional spacetime.

An existence called “Is Yinyue Ah” (It is Yinyue Oh).

Was casually reclining, bored.

And before him.

A luminous interface floated.

On the interface.

A red APP icon named [Tomato Novel] glowed eternally.

He casually swiped.

The joys and sorrows of countless worlds turned before his eyes like pages.

Suddenly.

A newly recommended book.

Caught his attention.

—“Evil God as Group Owner, Group Members Beg Me Not to Speak.”

He clicked in with interest.

His “reading” was not merely observing text.

But directly immersing his true spirit, experiencing everything of the story’s protagonist.

He felt Su Ke Ke’s despair.

Tasted the bitterness in her divine soul.

And also saw that flame of revenge, like a flickering candle in the wind, that had not been extinguished even after being abandoned by the whole world.

[Is Yinyue Ah]: “…Good read.”

“Good read” meant that this story was worth continuing.

And a good story.

Cannot tolerate being on hiatus.

A thought arose from his consciousness.

And so.

A concept, pure to the extreme.

Crossed the chasm of dimensions and descended!

[Ding! You have received a concept-level praise from a high-dimensional existence: “Good read”!]

Su Ke Ke’s divine soul trembled violently.

That recognition from a high-dimensional existence.

Like a supreme oracle.

Instantly soothed her godhood, which was on the verge of collapse due to despair.

That existence named “Is Yinyue Ah”.

Because he found the story “good read.”

Naturally wanted to see the more exciting plot of the “next chapter.”

And so.

He extended a finger.

And gently tapped a glowing button on that light screen.

The name of that button was [Urge for Update].

[Ding! Reader ‘Is Yinyue Ah’ thinks your story is very exciting and has tipped a gift—Urge for Update!]

This seemingly effortless action in high-dimensional reality.

Was an unprecedented catastrophe for the world of the “Cradle of Original Sin”!

It forcefully intruded into the world of the “Cradle of Original Sin” from “outside the story,” from the interface of “Tomato Novel,” in a completely unreasonable manner!

The powerful beings in the live stream were terrified.

[King of Ten Thousand Dragons]: This… what is this?! The world is wailing! No! The laws are terrified!

[Future Heavenly Emperor - Huang]: Impossible! This power… transcends the Path of Sacrifice! Who is it?! Who is interfering with this world?!

Boom—!!!

The entire world trembled!

Not a physical vibration.

But the “underlying rules” of the world were wailing!

The River of Time was severed.

The spatial structure let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain!

Those Tier 12 terrors, sleeping in the deepest parts of the world, which even Tier 10 and Tier 11 existences dared not disturb, also “opened their eyes” at this moment.

Their wills were filled with confusion and terror.

What kind of power is this, for heaven’s sake?!

A completely incomprehensible power, transcending all known levels!

As if a supreme “author” or “reader” was brutally modifying the “outline” of the “world”!

Before Su Ke Ke.

Those dazzling magical treasures and elixirs tipped by the powerful beings of the Multiverse.

Instantly lost all their brilliance, like stones by the roadside.

The only light source.

Was an ancient, profound character, containing the ultimate truth of the universe’s creation and destruction.

—“Urge for Update”!

[Ding! Congratulations! You have received a gift from a high-dimensional reader— “Urge for Update”!]

[Rank: ???]

[Type: One-time conceptual item]

[Effect: After use, you will briefly possess your full cultivation realm from ten thousand years in the future. Use it to sever the present “cause” with the future “effect”!]

Su Ke Ke stared blankly at the [Urge for Update].

The system’s cold prompt sound was like the most beautiful music of the heavens.

She slowly extended her hand and grasped the character.

In an instant, she saw herself ten thousand years later.

Her supreme figure, dominating all ages, her words becoming law.

All despair, sadness, and anger.

Were completely cleared at this moment.

Replaced by an absolutely cold serenity, viewing all things as mere trifles.

She raised her head.

Her gaze once again locked onto that distant starfield imprisoning Zhang Wei.

Before.

It was an unchallengeable abyss, a chasm that filled her with despair.

But now, in her hand.

She held an ultimate trump card from a higher dimension, capable of overturning the entire chessboard!
