96: We agreed to play the dungeon together, but the team leader turned out to be the final boss?

At this critical moment of life and death!

Gu Yanci took another step forward.

His voice was calm and indifferent, yet carried an undeniable authority.

"Your Excellency, Mother Goddess, do you truly believe that the purest 'evil' is merely a stench in a gutter, or rotten flesh in a garbage heap?"

"No."

He shook his head, a smirk playing on his lips, as if mocking the Mother Goddess's limited understanding.

"Without the most sincere 'trust,' how can one savor the sweetness of 'betrayal'?"

"Without eternal 'vows,' how can one appreciate the lament of 'shattering'?"

"Without brilliant 'hope,' how can one revel in the darkness that descends with 'despair'?"

"Without great 'heroes,' how can one forge the glory of a 'doomsday tragedy'?"

"We are not toying with those inferior dregs. We are using 'goodness' as a canvas, and 'light' as a carving knife, to sculpt the most extreme, most perfect work of 'evil' art!"

"And you, Your Excellency. Do you wish to forever be content with merely devouring the readily available 'jealousy' and 'suspicion'?"

This "sophistry," full of philosophical debate and seductive meaning, stunned the Mother Goddess.

"Ding! Roleplay completion +10%... +20%... +30%..."

"Current roleplay completion: 95%! Now in 'Deep Roleplay' state!"

The Joint Squad once again walked back from the gates of hell!

"Good... what a 'canvas of goodness'!"

The Mother Goddess clapped her hands and laughed, her gaze at the five filled with undisguised admiration and greed.

She licked her scarlet lips, seemingly having temporarily believed their words.

But her doubts were not entirely dispelled.

"Even if you are not the running dogs of 'goodness'... your appearance is too peculiar."

"As far as I know, for nearly ten thousand years, no new 'wild gods' have been born in the Temple of All Evils."

Her gaze sharpened again!

"Not long ago, I sensed that the Will of the Heavenly Dao seemed to show signs of recovery. The prophecy states that in order to end our 'Fallen Immortal Path,' the Heavenly Dao would summon a group of agents called 'group members' from outside this realm..."

"Roleplay completion: 90%... 83%... 75%!"

The Joint Squad's hearts instantly leaped into their throats again!

Holy crap!

She could even guess that?!

"Hehehe..."

Looking at their instantly stiff expressions, Mother Goddess - Jealousy and Suspicion laughed again.

"It seems I guessed correctly?"

"However, it doesn't matter."

Greedy light flickered in her eyes.

"I don't care if you are 'wild gods' or 'running dogs' of the Heavenly Dao. Now, I give you a choice."

"Become my 'sub-gods'."

"Offer your interesting souls, and ninety percent of your future faith harvests. I will grant you the qualification to survive in this Temple of All Evils."

"Otherwise..."

Her smile became incredibly sinister.

"You will become 'nourishment' on my path to advancement right now."

This was blatant coercion!

Becoming a sub-god meant completely entrusting one's life and fate to the other party!

How was that any different from being killed?!

The Joint Squad was once again plunged into a desperate dilemma!

"What should we do? Should we fight her?" Ye Liuli transmitted.

"No! Ninety percent of our power is sealed, we are no match for her!" Cang Xuan immediately denied.

Just then, Ling Xi gritted her teeth and made a second crazy decision!

In the chat group's mall, she spent a whopping 200,000 points of her "savings" to purchase a one-time [High-Tier Deity Information Probe Scroll]!

She wanted to see how strong this Mother Goddess truly was!

The next second, a panel burning with flames unfolded in her mind.

"Name: Hila (???)"

"Title: Mother of Jealousy and Suspicion"

"Tier: 10 (Law Master · Elementary)"

"Authority: Jealousy, Suspicion, Rumors, Malice"

"Status: Extremely Thirsty (Currently searching for new 'nourishment')"

When she saw the two words "Tier 10" branded on her soul like a hot iron.

The last trace of light in Ling Xi's eyes completely extinguished.

It's over.

Tier 10... that was a powerhouse capable of wielding the core laws of a universe!

Let alone with ninety percent of their power sealed now.

Even at their peak, all five of them combined wouldn't be enough for her to defeat with one hand!

This was true, unresisting "despair"!

Gu Yanci also learned this despairing information from Ling Xi.

He slowly raised his head, looking directly into the Mother Goddess's eyes, which were filled with mockery and cruelty.

He knew that today, he would probably truly meet his end here.

However.

Just as Mother Goddess Hila, growing impatient, raised her hand, preparing to utterly obliterate these "unappreciative" minor gods!

A will even more terrifying, more ancient, and more filled with the aura of "terminus" and "decay" than her divine might suddenly descended!

The entire Temple of All Evils trembled violently because of it!

All the native evil gods, at this moment, prostrated themselves on the ground, shivering!

As if welcoming a supreme monarch!

A black 裂缝 opened in the center of the square.

From within the rift.

An old man, dressed in ancient black robes, his face covered with countless profound demonic patterns, and his aura as desolate as the end of the universe, slowly emerged.

Each step he took made the entire Temple of All Evils tremble!

"It's Him!"

"It's Kuji Demon General, the first battle commander under Lord of the End!"

An evil god let out a horrified shriek!

Lord of the End!

At the mention of this name, even Mother Goddess - Jealousy and Suspicion was startled, feeling disbelief.

Lord of the End - source of all evil!

That was the King of All Gods who once, by his own power, contended against the "Will of the Heavenly Dao" of the entire world, and personally destroyed the "Chains of Order," creating the supreme achievement of the Fallen Immortal Path!

He was the common "ancestor" of all evil gods!

Although this legendary Demon Lord had mysteriously disappeared hundreds of thousands of years ago during the final battle with the Heavenly Dao.

His prestige, even now, remained a sharp sword hanging over the heads of all evil gods!

The moment Mother Goddess - Jealousy and Suspicion saw this old man, her arrogance and cruelty vanished without a trace!

In its place.

Was fear and reverence from the depths of her soul!

"Ku... Kuji Demon General! You... how could you..."

However, the old man, known as Kuji Demon General, didn't even glance at her.

His gaze was fixed, unblinkingly, on Gu Yanci!

No!

More precisely, it was fixed on Gu Yanci's chest!

There, a seed left by Lord of the End, which Gu Yanci called the " 詭異心臟" (Abnormal Heart), was slowly beating!

Thump!

Under the disbelieving gazes of all the deities in the Temple of All Evils!

This ancient being, one of the Seven Great Demon Generals who once followed Lord of the End - source of all evil, battled the Heavenly Dao, killing until the universe lost its color and the sun and moon dimmed.

This ancient being, who had been reclusive for tens of thousands of years, with unfathomable strength.

Actually... actually knelt on one knee before Gu Yanci, this obscure "wild god"!

His voice trembled violently from extreme excitement!

"This... this is the aura of the 'Heart of Terminus'! There's no mistake! No mistake!"

"Your subordinate Kuji... respectfully welcomes the return of the Demon Lord..."

"— Return!!!"
