The evil energy of the Netherworld invaded their wounds and corroded their bodies. Immediately afterward, the storm tore them to pieces and mercilessly scattered their corpses in every corner of the world of the golden lotus.
Song Shuhang was speechless.
Hero, I beg of you.
Can't we just die in a more straightforward way?
In this era where efficiency was so important, saving was a virtue. How efficient would it be to kill them with a single slash? It could even save energy!
Unfortunately, the owner of this metallic finger was a monster that didn't appreciate 'saving efficiency'.
Song Shuhang faintly sighed.
Now that he thought about it, he should have left the world of the golden lotus as soon as the Eternal Fire Zhenjun finished the Marking Dance and became the master of the world of the golden lotus.
Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world.
Since he had chosen this side quest, he had to complete it even if he had to hold back his tears.
In addition, from the very beginning, Song Shuhang had an indescribable feeling in his heart. He felt as if the world of the golden lotus … was attracting him.
To hell with this feeling.
… …
… …
What happened next was a vicious cycle.
All the people in the world of the golden lotus were killed by the 'storm technique' that the metallic finger had unleashed. Afterward, True Monarch Eternal Fire gritted his teeth and operated the power of the world of the golden lotus, bringing everyone back to life.
Once, twice …
At first, the cultivators of the scholarly faction and Song Shuhang would struggle and resist the 'storm' of the magical technique.
Even ants were greedy for life, let alone humans.
When faced with the threat of death, resisting was a basic human instinct.
However, after experiencing this vicious cycle many times, the majority of the cultivators of the scholarly faction had become numb to it. What was the point of struggling? No matter how much they struggled, they wouldn't be able to escape the fate of being killed by the storm.
Only a few cultivators of the scholarly faction were still trying to find a way out of this situation.
However … it wasn't easy to find a way out of this situation.
The master of the world of the golden lotus, the Eternal Fire Zhenjun, was already doing his best to bring everyone back to life. He didn't have the ability to change the situation at all.
Thus, unless Song Shuhang or the disciples of the Confucian school found the key to breaking the cycle of death and resurrection, or if there was a third party outside the world of the golden lotus that could forcefully intervene and give everyone a chance to escape from the world of the golden lotus.
Otherwise, they would have no choice but to continue the cycle of being killed and resurrected until the world of the golden lotus was depleted to the point where it could no longer resurrect them.
At that time, it would really be the end of his life.
* * * * *
Time ticked by.
"How many times has it been?" Song Shuhang mumbled. All in all, he must have lost a ton of blood, right? The entire space of the golden lotus was bathed in blood.
Of course, Song Shuhang did not give up.
At this time, his consciousness had already formed a connection with one of the items in his size-reducing purse. It was a bamboo leaf. It was the [Light of Life] that his consciousness came into contact with after he was torn apart for the first time.
Now that he thought about it, he had obtained this bamboo leaf after the hand-guided tractor competition while exchanging the Blood God Crystal with Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman.
At that time, when Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman brought him to his private treasure house, Song Shuhang saw a mysterious bamboo shoot that had an innate treasure spirit.
At that time, Song Shuhang curiously stretched out his hand and touched the mysterious bamboo shoot. But right at that time, an illusion appeared before his eyes. The bamboo shoot turned into a huge bamboo stick that could pierce through the sky and ruthlessly hit him.
Song Shuhang was struck dumb.
Afterward, the bamboo shoot that had an innate treasure spirit repeatedly apologized to Song Shuhang, saying that it had hit the wrong person. In the end, it even gave Song Shuhang a bamboo leaf as an apology.
This bamboo leaf could save Song Shuhang's life at a crucial moment.
If True Monarch Eternal Fire hadn't been able to bring everyone back to life the first time he was killed, the bamboo leaf would have given Song Shuhang an opportunity to come back to life.
Of course, the effects of this resurrection couldn't be compared to the world of the golden lotus, which was like a bug that could reverse time.
… …
… …
However, the bamboo leaf was only Song Shuhang's last trump card. It couldn't be the key to break out of this predicament.
At this time, Song Shuhang took a deep breath and recalled the content of those 88888 voices. Afterward, he quickly took off Swordsman Wooden Ox's glove of passion and placed his palm on the ground of the world of the golden lotus.
The secret appraisal technique was activated.
Under normal circumstances, the price one had to pay to appraise this mysterious world of the golden lotus was extremely high!
Perhaps Song Shuhang would have to pay with his life just to obtain some useful information.
But now, there was a bug in the appraisal technique.
As long as he used the appraisal technique before the Eternal Fire Zhenjun resurrected everyone again, it didn't matter what price he had to pay, even if he had to pay with his life. As long as he could appraise the world of the golden lotus and get resurrected by the Eternal Fire Zhenjun, he would be able to avoid paying the price of the appraisal technique!
"It worked." Song Shuhang was overjoyed.
The secret appraisal technique was successfully activated!
Golden Runes flowed out of his eyes and branded themselves on the ground of the world of the golden lotus. The Runes that only Song Shuhang could see condensed into a golden clock. Then, the hands of the clock turned in the opposite direction!
At this time, the metallic finger once again unleashed the storm-like technique to strangle everyone. It wouldn't stop until everyone was dead.
The storm instantly swept over, and the wind was as sharp as a blade, cutting at Song Shuhang's back.
Song Shuhang's body was instantly covered in blood. However, he didn't know if this was the damage caused by the metallic finger's storm-like technique or the price paid by the secret appraisal technique.
In any case, for the current Song Shuhang, it didn't matter which one it was. The result would be the same.
"Faster, faster!" Song Shuhang muttered.
He had to finish using the secret appraisal technique before he completely died.
In the blink of an eye, the golden Runes that only Song Shuhang could see returned from the ground of the world of the golden lotus and flowed into Song Shuhang's eyes.
At the same time, the information brought back by the secret appraisal technique appeared in Song Shuhang's mind.
[World of the Virtuous Golden Lotus: This is a small world created by the Virtuous Golden Lotus, a secret treasure obtained by the scholarly faction. This small world is constructed within the main world, but it's also separated from the main world. It's a world within a world, and it's extremely mysterious. Note: By using the evil and filthy energy of the Netherworld as nourishment, the world of the golden lotus can be continuously nurtured and expanded.]
The first part of the information came to an end.
"What about the rest? I don't just want this bit of information … I don't even need to appraise this bit of information, I know it for myself. "Song Shuhang was somewhat anxious.
Time was of the essence.
What he wanted was to find the key information to break out of this endless cycle of death and resurrection from the appraisal results of the world of the golden lotus! The information he had obtained so far was far from enough!
Just as he was in deep thoughts, more information appeared in Song Shuhang's mind … it was the follow-up to the secret appraisal technique.
[This treasure and the world of the black lotus of the Netherworld Realm are two sides of the same coin. Through the world of the black lotus, one can communicate with the world of the golden lotus, and vice versa. These two treasures, the golden lotus and the black lotus, were the works of a person that wielded the Will of the Heavens at the beginning of the era.]
A person that wielded the Will of the Heavens? This was the Will of the Heavens!
In other words, the Sinful Black Lotus and the golden lotus were the works of the Will of the Heavens … and they were very ancient Wielder of the Will.
But what was the meaning of this' works of escape '? Did the Will of the Heavens need to escape?
Song Shuhang had obtained a very important piece of information from this round of appraisal.
Unfortunately, he still didn't find the key information he needed to break out of this endless cycle.
"Is there anything else? Can I get more information from the appraisal? " Song Shuhang endured the pain and tried his best to maintain the 88888 voices in his mind, trying to get the secret appraisal technique to give him more information.
But right at the crucial moment, Song Shuhang's vision turned black, and his consciousness started to fade.
Dammit, I'm going to die again!
I was so close!
Song Shuhang sighed inwardly.
There was no time left. He could only wait until he came back to life and try again.
In addition, he didn't have many chances left.
At this time, he could clearly sense that the world of the golden lotus had shrunk by half after being consumed again and again.
It wasn't just him; all the scholarly disciples could sense this as well. If the world of the golden lotus shrunk to a certain extent, everyone present would lose their chance to 'come back to life'.
Next time, I have to seize the opportunity and use the secret appraisal technique even faster to find the key to break out of this endless cycle.
With this thought in mind, Song Shuhang's consciousness faded away.
* * * * *
Once again, Song Shuhang's eyes regained their brightness.
Did I come back to life again?
Then, Song Shuhang immediately recalled the 88888 voices in his mind. At the same time, he reached out to take off his glove and use the secret appraisal technique.
But in the next moment, Song Shuhang was stunned.
This was because he couldn't sense the position of his' hand '. Or rather, he didn't even have an arm right now.
Could it be that … the Eternal Fire Zhenjun couldn't hold on any longer and gave up on reviving everyone?
Did he rely on the bamboo leaf to come back to life?
The effects of the bamboo leaf couldn't compare to the heaven-defying resurrection of the world of the golden lotus. It was very likely that Song Shuhang would lose an arm or a leg after coming back to life.
Am I still in the world of the golden lotus? If I'm still in the world of the golden lotus, I won't be able to escape death!
Song Shuhang tried his best to 'open' his eyes and look around.
Then, he discovered that he was planted in a small bottle … and in front of him was another small bottle of the same design, with a black lotus inside.
Song Shuhang: "…"
This feeling was very familiar.
He didn't have arms, and he couldn't even move his legs … it was the same feeling he had when he dreamt of Lady Onion.
Song Shuhang quickly understood what was going on … he had entered the dreamland.
The target of the dreamland was the Virtuous Golden Lotus of the scholarly faction.
