The Deadly Sin avatar, "Gluttony", had taken the risk to seal itself and enter the trial without triggering the self-destruct sequence. Its target was basically determined to be Shi Xiaobai.
Kali had previously guessed that Gluttony had instinctively found an awakened of the Original Sin of Calamity or other Deadly Sins, which was why it was so careful. However, Shi Xiaobai was clearly not a Deadly Sin because he did not have the characteristics of the Seven Deadly Sins like Pride and Gluttony.
Therefore, the greatest possibility was that Shi Xiaobai was an awakened of the Original Sin of Calamity.
Before the Original Sin of Calamity awakened, it was no different from an ordinary human. Only after awakening would it regain its memories as the Original Sin of Calamity. Therefore, the possibility of Shi Xiaobai being the Original Sin of Calamity existed.
If Shi Xiaobai was really an awakened of the Original Sin of Calamity, no matter how kind and righteous he was now, he would become a demon king that destroyed the world after awakening.
In history, the second Original Sin of Calamity was the Conqueror King who ruled over half the continent. He advocated strength, but he carried out benevolent policies and loved his subjects. However, after his awakening, the Conquest King first destroyed his capital. None of the meritorious ministers and experts who had fought alongside him were spared.
Kali could not convince herself that Shi Xiaobai could use his willpower and conviction to defeat the Original Sin of Calamity's memories and instincts, because it was impossible.
If Shi Xiaobai was truly an awakened of the Original Sin of Calamity, Kali would not know how to face him. The hatred that had been brewing for ten thousand years and the fondness that had only sprouted in a month or two might seem incomparable in terms of time, but to Kali, they were two ends of a scale that could not be determined.
After Kali realized the possibility of the truth, she felt lost and subconsciously chose to escape.
She interfered with Gluttony's power and prevented him from speaking the mysterious language for the third time.
This was because this language was not mysterious to Kali. It was a common language used in the human world ten thousand years ago. It had now become a language of history, but Kali had never forgotten it.
The first two times, Gluttony spoke vaguely, so Kali could not hear it clearly. However, it became clearer each time. Therefore, Kali was afraid that she would hear the cruel truth the third time.
If the truth was revealed, then everything would be irreversible.
Regardless if Shi Xiaobai was an awakened of the Original Sin of Calamity, he was still Shi Xiaobai at this moment in time.
Kali was still able to maintain her clarity of mind because it was only a guess. But what if Shi Xiaobai was a hundred percent an awakened of the Original Sin of Calamity?
Could she still convince herself that Shi Xiaobai was only Shi Xiaobai?
Over the long years, she had been accompanied by loneliness. That seemingly cold and hard heart was actually just a layer of outer shell, wrapped in an unknown softness.
Hence, Kali finally made a very, very stupid decision.
As long as the truth was not exposed, there was a possibility that it would become an illusion.
Therefore, Kali wanted to prevent Gluttony from telling the truth!
In fact, she had two choices. One was to directly enter the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower and bring Shi Xiaobai out, far away from Gluttony. The second was to be like Gluttony and seal herself to the Psionic Mortal Realm before entering the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower to prevent Gluttony from approaching Shi Xiaobai.
The former would trigger the self-destruct sequence, leading to the destruction of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower, but it did not affect Kali in any way.
As for the latter, sealing herself to the tenth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm was, in fact, an extremely risky matter. This was because even Kali needed a certain amount of time to remove the seal. Therefore, if she were to be attacked by a mighty figure during this period of time, even if Kali had all her divine powers, she might perish due to the limitations of her psionic cultivation realm.
Of course, the possibility of that happening was minute. This was because the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower restricted entry to those at the Psionic Mortal Realm. With Kali's strength, even if she only used the psionic power of the Psionic Mortal Realm, she could easily kill enemies several realms higher than her.
For example, after Gluttony sealed himself to the Psionic Mortal Realm, his strength would completely crush Pulp Farmer and company despite being at the same realm.
However, sealing herself was ultimately a risk for an existence at Kali's level.
However, it was the word 'risk' that made Kali choose the latter.
All of Shi Xiaobai's experiences could always be described with the word 'risk'. And every time he went on an adventure, there would be people accompanying him. Princess Xiao Xiao in the virtual world, Chen Lingcun in the Underworld, Sunless, Mu Yuesheng, Mozzie, Kevin, etc …
Such an exciting adventure was something she yearned for back when she lived in the pixie forest and had never been to the outside world.
Maybe the World Tree's power prevented her body from aging, but at the same time, it also sealed her innocence deep in her heart.
Therefore, she wanted to be willful this time. She wanted to accompany Shi Xiaobai and experience this very, very silly 'adventure' together.

The other end of the Door of Light was a paradise on earth. A lush forest surrounded it, and a clear lake reflected the trees. In the middle of the lake, there was a tiny island. On the island grew a gigantic willow tree. It had many willow branches that drooped down like a waterfall. The willow leaves glowed faintly, as though the entire willow tree was enshrouded in a thin layer of golden light.
And under the willow tree, there was a black-haired youth lying there.
The youth was lying on the soft ground with his eyes closed. His breathing was slow and rhythmic as he fell into a deep sleep. On his left was a pure black sword.
Kali walked out of the Door of Light and landed in front of the youth. She slowly crouched down and scrutinized the youth's sleeping face.
Kali slowly stretched out her fingertip as a pale white beam of light shot out from her fingertip and tapped Shi Xiaobai's forehead. The white light enveloped Shi Xiaobai's entire body.
Soon, a black aura slowly rose from Shi Xiaobai's body and dissipated into the air. The wounds on Shi Xiaobai's back slowly disappeared, returning to his fair and smooth skin.
Shi Xiaobai continued sleeping with his eyes closed, but his knitted eyebrows gradually relaxed. His expression turned gentle and serene.
Kali looked up slightly and with a wave of her hand, a rainbow-colored barrier of light immediately enveloped the entire island, as though it was isolating the world outside.
Kali hesitated for a moment before suddenly lowering her head to gently kiss Shi Xiaobai's forehead. Their lips parted as a bashful smile suffused across her lips.
"What a shameless old hag."
After Kali said that, she burst out into laughter.
Suddenly, as though she had sensed something, Kali slowly stood up and turned to look into the distance. Her eyes turned slightly cold.
"You have really given me a huge surprise."

The sixth level's world was named Monster Fairyland. The environment was beautiful, like a fairyland, but in fact, there were monsters everywhere.
For example, a small island in the middle of a lake might actually be the back of a ten-thousand-year-old gigantic turtle.
And in a particular vast ocean, there was a lone island formed by the turtle's back. This gigantic turtle was swimming with all its might towards the distant shore.
There were all sorts of strange creatures flying across the sky from time to time. A gigantic pterosaur, a canary that was larger than an eagle, a flying tiger with wings …
On the surface of the sea, there were all sorts of strange fish jumping up and down. There were terrifying fish with crocodile heads and shark bodies. There were dolphins with mouths full of sharp teeth. Occasionally, there would be a gigantic whale that swam past like a mountain …
The gigantic turtle would let out terrified cries from time to time as it carefully proceeded through the sea.
Completely different from this terrifying scene, there were two people sitting on both sides of the gigantic turtle's back. The two of them were in such a relaxed state that it was as though they were on a vacation.
One of them was a beautiful girl with long silver hair and black-rimmed glasses. She was sitting cross-legged on the left side of the lone island. In her hand was a thick book, and she was reading it with relish.
The other person was an ordinary-looking, ordinary-dressed youth. From head to toe, he exuded an aura of "I'm just a passerby".
The youth's actions were even more exaggerated. It was unknown where he got a table and chair from. At this moment, he was sitting on the chair with his legs crossed, and he was constantly cracking melon seeds!
Time slowly passed. The youth was initially eating the melon seeds with relish, but later on, he seemed to find it boring. His expression turned more and more impatient.
The youth turned his head to look at the silver-haired girl who was reading with her back facing him. He sighed and said, "I'm so bored! A bag of Qiaqia fragrant melon seeds has been finished by me alone. There are a total of 1854 seeds. 26 of them are empty, and 9 of them have worms mixed in. 6 of them have not been fried and are stuck together, and 4 of them are bitter. In between, I drank 7 cups of water. That's right, this is loneliness — — The passage just now had a total of 67 words, 11 punctuation marks, 8 commas, 3 periods, and a total of 587 strokes. Among them, 78 strokes, 137 strokes, 65 strokes, 57 strokes, and the other 139 strokes … Hmm. That's right, this is boredom! "
The silver-haired girl's ears moved slightly, but she pretended not to hear and continued to read the book in her arms.
The youth sighed and said, "Girl, I remember you were cute when you were a child, chattering like a sparrow. Why don't you say a word now? Don't pretend to be deaf and dumb. Chat with me? "
The silver-haired girl still ignored him, gently turning a page of the book.
The youth coughed lightly, and suddenly with a serious voice, said in a deep voice, "Unruly peasant, I order you to chat with me!"
The silver-haired girl finally responded, turning her head and giving the youth a fierce glare.
The youth laughed dryly. "Ha … ha, pretend I didn't say anything."
The silver-haired girl adjusted the frame of her glasses, looked at the melon seed shells on the table with disgust, then turned her head and continued to read the book in her hand.
The youth mumbled, "Time is really a butcher's knife. A cute girl is not cute at all."
The silver-haired girl looked down at the book in her hand, and a sigh flashed in her eyes.
Suddenly, the gigantic turtle came to a stop. Its back began to shake violently, giving the duo a fright. The gigantic turtle constantly let out low cries of fear.
The gigantic turtle had always been timid, but this was the first time it was trembling in fear.
The duo's expressions immediately turned solemn.
At this moment, at the end of the horizon, a gigantic whirlpool suddenly appeared. A large swath of the ocean sunk into the whirlpool, as though a huge abyss had suddenly appeared in the ocean.
From the abyss, a tiny black dot suddenly flew out.
The black dot was very, very tiny. From afar, it looked like a tiny black pearl.
However, the duo sitting on the turtle's back had extraordinary eyesight. They could clearly see the true appearance of the black dot. It was a miniature humanoid monster covered in black light.
The tiny black-lit person turned around, and its two black hole-like eyes looked at the duo on the turtle's back.
The corner of the youth's mouth twitched as he said with a wry smile, "The boring time is finally over. Why can't I feel happy at all?"

(PS: I'm stuck! I still can't think of a satisfactory version for the sixth level's plot design. Kali's setting makes it very difficult for her to have any scenes in the early and middle stages of the book. Hence, I want to write the following plot to add scenes for Kali to be of a higher quality. After agonizing over it all last night, I was unable to straighten it out. This resulted in the first thousand words of this chapter being underwater. Halfway through, I realized that I could no longer go underwater, so I went to sleep. I can't guarantee that I can finish the second chapter before midnight today. Everyone, please understand that it is always the most difficult when the plot changes, because I need to design the plot. The next chapter will definitely wake Shi Xiaobai up. Everyone, don't worry. The following story will definitely be more interesting!) (To be continued.)
