33: A new journey is about to begin
The light of the Decomposition Field was like countless tiny blades, slicing through Nelson's illusory body.
Meanwhile, the Light of Chaos was like a maggot attached to the bone, constantly eroding the power he possessed.
Only the incessant, agonizing screams on the spiritual level indicated the fact that he was still alive.
Xiang Yan stood with his arms crossed, hidden deep within the Core of the planet, his expression indifferent. He occasionally tapped his fingers, seemingly calculating something.
Thanks to Nelson's loyalty, even though he was now like a clay Buddha crossing the river—unable to save himself—he was doing his utmost to shield Xiang Yan, preventing him from being affected and maintaining his power at its Peak, so that his master could proceed with the next actions.
Time passed minute by minute, and Nelson's power was like a flickering candle in the wind, liable to be extinguished at any moment.
Xiang Yan's brow furrowed slightly, and a hint of irritation rose in his heart.
"Did I guess wrong? The World's Agent hasn't been born in this world; it's just a world acting purely on instinct."
"Should I act now?"
"No, not yet. Wait a little longer. Nelson can hold on for a bit more. I need to observe further."
As Nelson's agonizing screams gradually weakened, Xiang Yan's already poor mood worsened.
After all, his subordinate had just finished giving him his last words, begging him to quickly blow him up.
This left him unsure whether Nelson was loyal—afraid that Xiang Yan couldn't escape and thus asking to be destroyed—or if he was simply in unbearable pain and seeking relief.
But ultimately, Xiang Yan couldn't wait any longer in this situation and decided to fulfill his subordinate's last wish.
Just then, a vast will suddenly descended, instantly enveloping the entire "Stomach" Space.
The Decomposition Field and the Light of Chaos immediately ceased their activity upon the arrival of this will.
The moment this will arrived, Xiang Yan played dead at light speed, and incidentally restored some blue and red to Nelson, striving to have Nelson's presence cover his own.
The arriving world will did not make any sound but directly transmitted the message: Submit!
Upon perceiving this message, Nelson didn't hesitate for a second, immediately dropping to his knees at light speed, crying out for mercy, offering to die in service of the Great Father, and proclaiming his loyalty!
Although the complexity of the language caused the World Consciousness to be momentarily confused, it still understood the meaning: the other party was willing to submit.
Too lazy to argue with this newly acquired subordinate, the Decomposition Field and the Light of Chaos surrounding them retreated like a tide, replaced by an irresistible force.
This force enveloped the entire planet, and under its traction, the planet slowly "ascended," leaving the original chaotic "Stomach" Space.
Then, the planet, which had been traveling steadily, suddenly initiated a Nitro Boost.
Driven by this inexplicable thrust, the planet was moving at an unimaginable speed.
Xiang Yan attempted to seize the opportunity to observe his surroundings, but he only saw distorted light and shifting colors, as if he were inside a kaleidoscope.
At the same time, Xiang Yan noticed that as they moved, the planet's volume was rapidly shrinking, but its mass was skyrocketing.
For example, Xiang Yan originally only needed a light tap of his finger to obliterate this planet, but now, the same tap could only destroy a single rock.
This greatly surprised Xiang Yan, as the amount of volume compression was completely disproportionate to the increase in mass. Clearly, the world will was performing radical modifications on this planet.
Suddenly, a series of low hums came from the surroundings, like the breathing of the Universe or the heartbeat of a massive beast.
This sensation lasted only for a moment before the planet suddenly stopped.
Xiang Yan felt his eyes brighten; the planet had arrived in a brand new space.
This was no longer the chaotic "stomach"; it was a vast and boundless land, the sky was azure, the sunlight warm, and the air was filled with the fragrance of soil and plants.
The moment the planet touched this land, it was like a drop of water merging into the ocean.
The mountains, rivers, forests, and even the atmosphere of the planet were all integrating into this world in an extremely harmonious and seamless manner.
After the entire planet was completely integrated into the land, the surrounding Rule Power began to erode Nelson, attempting to reshape him into the form of this world.
Realizing this, Xiang Yan immediately used his own power to protect the most core point of Nelson's Spiritual Will.
This layer of power acted like a tiny cocoon, wrapping Nelson's consciousness within it, resisting the erosion of the World's Rules.
When the transformation was complete, the world will's gaze, which had been fixed upon this place, finally moved away.
Before Xiang Yan could ask, Nelson immediately shoved three items into Xiang Yan's hands, then weakly said to him, "My Lord... thank you for your protection."
"What is your current situation?" Xiang Yan asked.
"My Lord, I have been too severely eroded. Even with your protection, I find it difficult to resist the opponent's influence."
"If this continues, I fear I will be completely enslaved. To resist this, please permit me to enter slumber."
"You may." Xiang Yan nodded slightly.
"Please forgive my incompetence for being unable to continue serving you."
"There is no need to belittle yourself, Nelson. You have done well enough. Leave the rest to me. Go to sleep." Xiang Yan shook his head slightly, dismissing Nelson's statement.
"Thank you for your benevolence, My Lord. The three items your subordinate has given you should help reduce some unnecessary trouble for you. This is the last thing your subordinate can do for you now."
After saying this last sentence, Nelson's presence diffused into the surrounding environment, as perceived by Xiang Yan.
"Is he asleep?" Xiang Yan wondered.
Xiang Yan began to focus his attention on the three items Nelson had given him.
The first item, upon inspection, Xiang Yan realized was essentially an ID card-like object given to him by Nelson.
However, this item was not meant to be used immediately, but only after life had emerged here.
The second item was a detailed manual explaining Nelson's current condition, along with intelligence regarding some basic information about this world.
The third item was something similar to an alarm clock but with slightly more functionality. This was a dedicated Wake-Up Device created by Nelson. Besides being able to forcibly wake Nelson, it could also detect Nelson's current status.
The purpose of this device was for Xiang Yan to wake Nelson up to help deal with trouble whenever Xiang Yan encountered some difficulty that he found inconvenient to handle himself.
Furthermore, when there was no trouble, if Nelson's own state was excellent, Xiang Yan could use this device to wake him up, allowing him to use his authority to help Xiang Yan gather intelligence on this world.
