The 'Apocalypse' that had caused three large-scale annihilation of humanity was mainly composed of three parts. The first was the Original Sin of Calamity that existed for half an hour, the second was the seven Deadly Sins that would wreak havoc for three days, and the third was the frequent occurrence of natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis and volcanic eruptions.
The Original Sin of Calamity was no doubt the strongest existence among them. Although it was unknown why the Original Sin of Calamity could only exist for half an hour, it could kill nearly all the top experts in the human world in that half an hour. Ten thousand years ago, all the experts of the pixie race that Kali was a part of were instantly killed by the Original Sin of Calamity, including her mother and grandmother.
And in the following three days, the seven Deadly Sins — 'Pride', 'Envy', 'Gluttony', 'Lust', 'Wrath', 'Sloth' and 'Greed' would begin slaughtering humans. As the Original Sin of Calamity had already wiped out all the experts in the human world, the remaining humans had no way of resisting the Deadly Sins' rampage. Usually, only an extremely small number of humans would survive after three days. They would become the last remnants of humanity.
However, it seemed that every time humans reproduced to a certain number, the apocalypse would descend punctually. In the past ten thousand years, the apocalypse had descended thrice, and according to the time, the fourth apocalypse was probably not far away.
Ten thousand years ago, when the first apocalypse descended, Kali was just a naive girl. In human years, she was only twelve or thirteen years old. Back then, she had witnessed the tragedy of the pixie race's annihilation with her own eyes.
Logically speaking, she should have died during the three days when the Deadly Sins were wreaking havoc, but the purity of her elven bloodline was extremely high, and she was lucky enough to be chosen as the successor of the withering World Tree, and luckily survived.
Later on, she searched the human world for the inheritances of various experts, slowly becoming stronger. She even went to countless planes of existence for nine thousand years.
Nine thousand years made her extremely powerful. Then, she returned to the human world and slept for a thousand years, waiting for the fourth apocalypse to descend.
She did not know if she could defeat the Original Sin of Calamity with her present strength, but she had to give it a try.
Not long ago, Shi Xiaobai had pulled out the Sword of Sealing in the Underworld, exposing the tiny black-lit person named 'Gluttony'. This gave Kali an extremely good opportunity.
This was because the Original Sin of Calamity would hide in the human world every time. Even the Original Sin of Calamity itself did not know of its identity. Only when the apocalypse descended would it awaken.
During the first apocalypse, the Original Sin of Calamity was an old blind man.
The second time, it was a conquering king who ruled over half of the continent.
The third time, it was a three-and-a-half-year-old child.
Before the Original Sin of Calamity awakened, there was no pattern to its age, gender, status, etc. Kali had once attempted to find the Original Sin of Calamity before it awakened, but to no avail.
And with 'Gluttony' appearing ahead of time, it gave Kali a rare opportunity. This was because 'Gluttony' was very likely able to instinctively find the awakened of the Original Sin of Calamity, or other hidden Deadly Sin avatars.
Therefore, Kali did not immediately kill 'Gluttony' that had wreaked havoc in the human world thrice. Instead, she placed a realm seal on it and used it as bait, hoping to catch a bigger fish.
And at this moment, the bait seemed to have taken the initiative to look for the big fish?
For 'Gluttony' to take the risk of sealing itself to the tenth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm, and enter the fifth level of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower without triggering the self-destruct program, it proved that the fifth level of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower had an existence that 'Gluttony' had to carefully search for.
Who else could such an existence be other than the Original Sin of Calamity and the other Deadly Sin avatars?
Kali suddenly felt nervous. She had been training for nine thousand years and had been alone for ten thousand years. It was all because she wanted to avenge her family and people. And at this moment, the awakened of the Original Sin of Calamity was about to be exposed.
How could she not be excited?
Kali stared intently at the screen of light. The tiny black-lit person bit through the thick spatial wall and constantly proceeded forward. A few minutes later, it finally tore through the spatial turbulence and arrived at the fifth level of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower!
After the tiny black-lit person arrived at the fifth level of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower, it did not devour everything in the world as per usual. Instead, it began charging in a particular direction at an extremely fast speed. It was actually eagerly suppressing its instinctive desires!
At this moment, Kali's mind was unable to calm down. She too could not wait.
Where was Gluttony heading to?
What was it searching for?
The answer would be revealed soon.
…
…
Fifth level of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower
Mu Yuesheng, Mozzie, and Kevin stood guard beside Shi Xiaobai as they warily observed their surroundings.
Pulp Farmer, Liu Yu, and Zhou Chuchu stood guard ten meters away.
Liu Yu and Zhou Chuchu ran in different directions with a tiny portion of the blood, but soon, the blood broke free from their restraints. They had no choice but to turn back.
The three rookies that were predicted to be in the top ten of the official rankings patrolled the periphery. There were also three rookies protecting them. Such a defensive formation made many rookies who were tempted to make a move retreat.
Of course, there was no lack of rookies who took the risk to attempt sneak attacks, but all of them ended in failure.
They attempted to escape after their sneak attacks failed, but how could they escape from Pulp Farmer and company? All of them paid the price for their rashness and were mercilessly eliminated.
Just thirty seconds ago, the authoritative voice informed everyone that there was only a minute left in this Life and Death Assault round.
"There's still thirty seconds."
Mu Yuesheng said, "We have to be even more vigilant. In these thirty seconds, there might be even more people who can't hold back and choose to take the risk."
Mozzie and Kevin nodded heavily as they focused their attention on their surroundings.
In the final thirty seconds, whether it was a perfect success or a failure depended on these thirty seconds.
The forest was extremely quiet. Other than the soft breathing of the few people and Pulp Farmer and company's deliberately suppressed footsteps, as well as the occasional breeze or the rustling of the leaves, there was no other sound.
The six of them were on full alert for any slight movement.
Time quietly passed. One second, two seconds, three seconds …
No one came. Not a single one.
At the final moment, it seemed like the rookies with nefarious intentions had given up?
"It's coming!"
Pulp Farmer suddenly shouted. Everyone hurriedly turned their heads, but nothing appeared in the deep forest path. However, they could sense a terrifying aura at the same time.
Everyone's expressions changed drastically as they could not help but feel an irrepressible sense of fear.
Who was this person?
They were still far away, but they were already able to exert such a heavy sense of oppression on them?
The six of them prepared themselves for battle.
Liu Yu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "The one that came this time is probably much more terrifying than the bloody figure. This evil aura can even stir This Penniless Priest's Dao Heart. It's definitely not an ordinary existence."
Zhou Chuchu said in a speechless manner, "It's just the Psionic Mortal Realm. Why are there so many monsters!?"
A few seconds later, a strange figure finally charged out from the shadows that they were staring intently at!
The moment the figure appeared, a domineering force followed it. Other than Shi Xiaobai, the other six were pushed back by the force. They fell a great distance away, without any room for resistance!
The figure charged straight at Shi Xiaobai!
"We're doomed!"
Everyone stared with widened eyes. The figure that suddenly appeared was not an existence they could resist. Furthermore, its target was extremely clear. It was completely coming for Shi Xiaobai.
At this moment, an authoritative voice resounded through the world.
Was all the hard work they had put in for so long going to be for naught?
"This round of Life and Death Assault has ended. Death Epaulette wearer, Shi Xiaobai, has successfully survived. He will be sent to the sixth level in three seconds!"
Everyone immediately revealed an indescribable wry smile. Three seconds, there were only three seconds left!
However, the figure that suddenly appeared had already appeared in front of Shi Xiaobai. Would it miss these three precious seconds?
The figure that was charging over stopped a meter in front of Shi Xiaobai. Everyone finally saw the true face of the figure and immediately drew a gasp.
It was covered in a black glow. One could vaguely tell that it looked like a human. However, it was many times smaller than a normal human. It looked like it was about the size of a hand.
The tiny black-lit person floated in mid-air, as though it was staring at Shi Xiaobai. However, it did not immediately take the next step.
It was this tiny thing that made them completely unable to put up any resistance?
Suddenly, the tiny black-lit person opened its mouth and let out a strange sound. It sounded like a mysterious language.
It was' speaking 'to the unconscious Shi Xiaobai?
However, the tiny black-lit person did not seem to have 'spoken' for a long time. The voice sounded extremely vague.
However, the tiny black-lit person immediately attempted to produce the same sound.
The second time, it was much clearer.
However, just as the tiny black-lit person was about to say the same sentence for the third time, a blinding light suddenly enveloped the tiny black-lit person. The tiny black-lit person let out a shrill scream.
At the same time, the sky began to shatter like glass. The ground also began to shake violently, as though it was the scene of the apocalypse.
At this moment, the three seconds had finally passed. Shi Xiaobai suddenly transformed into a golden beam of light that shot into the sky, charging towards the sixth level.
The light that enveloped the tiny black-lit person immediately converged, as the world suddenly turned silent.
The tiny black-lit person let out a roar of indignation as it shot into the sky. It slammed its head into the sky, creating a tiny hole. Its entire body drilled into it, as though it was chasing after Shi Xiaobai.
Everyone who witnessed this short but incredulous scene was left in a daze. They were unable to recover for a long time.
What the hell happened?
.....
Kali's eyes glazed over slightly as she muttered, "Impossible … Impossible …"
"It's impossible that it's Shi Xiaobai."
"It's impossible that he is the Original Sin of Calamity."
A wry smile suffused across Kali's lips. "Since it's impossible, why did you stop Gluttony from saying those words for the third time? You could clearly hear what it wanted to say by the third time."
"What are you afraid of?"
"What are you running from?"
Kali sighed faintly. "If the truth is … what should I do?"
At this moment, in the screen of light, the tiny black-lit person was crazily gnawing at the spatial walls, attempting to traverse from the fifth level to the sixth level. Without any surprises, it was chasing after Shi Xiaobai.
Kali's glazed gaze gradually recovered.
"Even if this is the truth, I will make it an illusion."
Kali's eyes flashed with a resolute look.
Rays of light suddenly shot out from her body and disappeared into the endless darkness.
Kali's face turned slightly pale.
"Isn't it very simple to seal oneself?"
A beam of light suddenly tore through the darkness, as though a door had suddenly appeared. Kali took a step in.
"Shi Xiaobai, I'll accompany you on this adventure."
