Chapter 1 The Task… To Live
"To live?"
Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu stood up abruptly, looking around in confusion.
However, outside the great formation, there was nothing but the already decaying corpses.
"Hey! What do you mean, why do you want us to live? Why not teleport us out and return our cultivation!"
Wan Lei shouted loudly, hoping to get a response.
He wasn't disappointed; he got one.
"When I ask you these two questions next time, if you can answer them correctly, you can obtain the token and leave this place.
Good and evil, which is more important?
Are the things we are doing right or wrong?
I will ask you again later."
"What if we answer incorrectly?"
"Then you will be forever trapped here."
"Why? Hey! Let us leave this place, I want to go home."
"Isn't this... your home too? If you live long enough, you might even see the day you were born."
What the white-robed youth was talking about was naturally the birth of the Thunder God.
"But we are mortals now, without any energy, without cultivation, without realms, how can I live for tens of thousands of years?"
"Then go die, my task for you is... to live."
"Hey, explain clearly, how do we live? Who do we need to deal with? Who wants to kill us?!"
This time, no matter how Wan Lei shouted, he received no response from the "system."
He saw his formation slowly dissipating.
"No, this is impossible, my formation is fine, how could it dissipate?"
Wan Lei frantically tried to control the formation, but found that he couldn't do anything.
He wanted to open his storage bag and take out another formation bead, but found that he couldn't even open the storage bag.
"Don't bother."
Fang Xiaoyu shook her head.
"I think, what he means is that we should live like mortals, think about his questions, and answer them correctly, so let's do that."
They had nothing now, not even their storage bags could be opened.
Wan Lei only had a hammer in his hand, and Fang Xiaoyu only had two swords.
Oh, right, they also had a dog.
"Hey, Doggy, come out!"
Wan Lei knocked on the hammer, all the runes on it now dim.
Doggy jumped out.
"Why didn't you come out all this time? Are you trying to die, watching the show inside?"
"Bah, I wanted to come out, but the will of this world is suppressing me, I can't even get out, it's infuriating.
Wait, where's my lightning? Where's my origin? Where's my power? How did I really become a dog?!"
The little yellow dog wanted to unleash lightning, but couldn't do anything, it really had become an ordinary little dog.
"Oh? Is that so? Bark twice and let me hear."
"Woof! ...Damn you, I'm not a dog!"
The little yellow dog lunged at Wan Lei, trying to scratch him.
"Hey, stop messing around, let's quickly think about what this task that isn't a task is.
Seriously, why did everyone else get out but we didn't, and we have to live in this broken place, in the middle of nowhere."
Fang Xiaoyu pouted, but her mind was constantly thinking about what the answers to those two questions were.
"Do you think it's possible that it's because I have the protagonist halo, so the tasks we experience are different from others?"
"So, I'm being implicated by you again?"
"No, the female lead is also a protagonist, your life is the same as mine."
Wan Lei patted Fang Xiaoyu on the shoulder, looking like he was in the same boat.
"Bullshit, I guess this is the hell-level difficulty task the system was talking about, after all, he just said that hell has only just begun."
"That's true... look, what is that?!"
Wan Lei suddenly pointed to the sky.
Fang Xiaoyu looked up, only to see a small black dot in the sky, rapidly growing larger.
It was moving.
It was getting bigger and bigger, faster and faster, and the two gradually saw what it was.
It was a chaotic celestial body, black overall, emitting an aura of sin and evil.
"It's so close to us."
"It's not close, it's because it's too big, as big as several galaxies, because it's big, you think it's close, it's at least a dozen galaxies away from us."
The little yellow dog sighed.
"That is... the Nest of Sin."
"Nest of Sin? So big?! If this collapses, how many galaxies would be destroyed?
Wait, damn it! We're so close, won't we be destroyed together?!"
"Not necessarily, the immortals won't arrange a task that's sure to kill you, wait and see, the Wheel of Morality should appear soon."
"What do we do now?"
"Watch quietly and wait for the disaster to happen."
The two people and a dog looked up at the sky, and after another hour, a golden dot appeared in the sky.
The golden dot was also rapidly growing larger, and gradually they could see the outline, it was a large golden disc.
It rotated and rushed towards the Nest of Sin with great momentum.
The distance between the two was getting closer and closer, so close that they could no longer see the distance between them.
The distance was too far, Wan Lei could see these two huge and magnificent celestial bodies, but could not see the countless good and evil people fighting to the death between the two celestial bodies.
Fortunately, there was the little yellow dog, an eyewitness, to give them real-time commentary.
"Now, the two groups are fighting, six immortals are secretly sneaking into the Wheel of Morality with Squirrel and me.
Before long, they will be able to insert the refined core hub into the Wheel of Morality, and when that time comes, it will be time to merge the Nest of Sin and the Wheel of Morality."
"Oh, then let's wait."
Time passed quickly, they could only see two motionless celestial bodies, it was very boring.
Finally, after two hours, the two celestial bodies moved.
Under the gaze of Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu, they moved at an extremely fast speed...
And then collided violently.
"They had already secretly refined the Nest of Sin before they came, but the sinners didn't know, now the Wheel of Morality has also been refined.
Next, these two great treasures of cosmic rules will merge to form a Rule Compass."
The two huge celestial bodies devoured and collapsed each other, the chaotic matter was constantly thrown out due to the violent collision, and the collision formed a huge shock wave, destroying the surrounding galaxies.
Wan Lei seemed to be able to hear the screams and wails of countless lives, and the exclamations of those fighting when they saw the collision of the two great celestial bodies.
However, no one could stop the immortals, their conspiracy succeeded, they...
Were destroying the rules of this world.
The Wheel of Morality and the Nest of Sin were still constantly merging and devouring each other, and more and more fragments of matter turned into meteors, attracted by the gravity of the surrounding stars and planets, and quickly fell.
