Jia Xitong had never been so calm before.

They will definitely have a winner and a loser.

"By then, the Aotian Continent will be riddled with holes, and no matter who is left, they will eventually destroy the Aotian Continent."

【Why?】

"Think about it yourself."

The system's voice came through, and compared to Jia Xitong, it seemed more like the dumber one at this moment.

Jia Xitong did not explain the reason, but said, "If you want to protect the Aotian Continent, you must cooperate with me."

She didn't give it a reason, but when a serious problem about oneself goes unanswered, one naturally starts to think about its possibilities in the direction of a predetermined goal.

The Savior System pondered for a long time. "What do you want to do?"

"Kill Xiao Shang."

Looking at the two people fighting fiercely in the sky, Jia Xitong thought that from beginning to end, only Xiao Shang wanted to destroy the world.

It is indeed possible, but it will come at a heavy price for me.

Its voice paused for a slight second, then continued, "You will too."

"In that case, they deserve it."

##

High above

The two figures clashed like two swift and dazzling beams of light, their collision causing sparks and earth-shattering events. The impact was immense, yet neither could gain the upper hand.

Just then, a third entity suddenly appeared in the sky. Shang Yanting was shocked to find his body being suppressed by a mysterious force, and a wisp of soul suddenly rushed into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Possession?

In the original story, Shang Yanting encountered many similar situations during his long years of cultivation, with souls trying to take over his body more than once.

Then what?

He strangled such people with his soul power.

The soul that appeared at this moment was simply overestimating its own abilities.

He focused intently, his instinctive reaction being to strangle the intruding soul. However, the intruding soul was enveloped in golden light, and its shield withstood his attacks, indicating it possessed some strength.

You're right, I can be considered one of the earliest consciousnesses in this world.

When the world develops a vague sense of self, only to suddenly realize that it is a world that will be destroyed in the near future, its survival instinct leads it to seek help from others.

The divine body cannot be destroyed; the only legend is that the divine soul dissipates.

My memories tell me that all gods died by the dissipation of their souls. But these dead gods only exist in my memories; you know, they may not have actually existed. Just like me, I came from nothingness.

Jia Xitong's soul had already rushed into her sea of ​​consciousness, and at this moment, the Savior System whispered many secrets of this world into her ear.

"There were no gods before?"

Jia Xitong subconsciously thought of her talisman master, "Then what about the Five Great Gods and the Dragon Clan?"

They were initially just legendary figures.

Just like the secret history of the Aotian Continent that you fabricated, it originally didn't exist. But as more and more people believe in it, the details of the world will gradually be pieced together.

Therefore, the only one in this world who can be called a true god is Shang Yanting.

He truly is the center of the world.

A being with the power to destroy the entire world. He made this new world more complete, and he also had the ability to push this new world into the abyss.

That's why the world's consciousness both loves and hates him.

Why are you suddenly telling me so much?

Jia Xitong didn't think that the Savior System had suddenly changed its nature and was telling her secrets that people in this world might not know.

Because my sense of self is about to disappear.

"Are you going to die?"

[I am the continent of Aotian. My body is still here, so how could I die? It's just that after this, I will no longer have thoughts or consciousness, and I will no longer be able to contact the outside world.]

But Aotian Continent is still Aotian Continent, so it remains the same.

I hope that people will remember me, instead of thinking of me as just a piece of land, a clod of earth, or an environment.

Jia Xitong pursed her lips. "I will always remember you. You are special."

【Thanks.】

The voice was more relaxed than before. "I can only provide you with protection for a maximum of two quarters of an hour. Remember, you must pierce Shang Yanting's soul within that time; otherwise, he can easily kill you after two quarters of an hour."

The Savior System's voice disappeared completely after saying those words, and in its place, a five-inch-long cone appeared in Jia Xitong's hand.

"Who is in the ocean of consciousness of this deity?"

At this moment, Shang Yanting's voice came from the original work, and the light surrounding Jia Xitong dissipated.

"Xiao Shang, it's me."

Jia Xitong looked at him.

Upon hearing this address, Shang Yanting, the author of the original novel, was taken aback. "You've regained your memories."

"right."

Jia Xitong nodded. "Can you stop?"

Upon hearing Jia Xitong's request, Shang Yanting laughed, "Who do you think you are, telling me to stop? I'm not here to play house."

In that world, people called him a demon god.

However, the title "Grim Reaper" is actually more fitting for him than "Demon God".

Wherever he goes, nothing will grow.

“I’m not playing house with you. If you don’t leave here, I’ll kill you.”

"Kill me?"

In the original story, Shang Yanting laughed, his voice growing louder and louder until it became manic, "My grandfather wants to kill me, my fellow disciples want to kill me, my master wants to kill me, everyone wants to kill me."

Now, even you want to kill me!

"You see, this is why I'm going to destroy the world."

Rather than waiting for them to kill me, I'd rather take their lives beforehand.

Hearing his words, Jia Xitong couldn't help but clench the God-Slaying Nail in her hand. "I don't necessarily want to kill you, it's just that you killed a lot of people first."

"Yes, so what? Can you really kill me?"

As soon as Shang Yanting finished speaking, he vanished from his spot and moved infinitely close to Jia Xitong.

He reached out his hand to her, but was stopped by a beam of light.

Jia Xitong was so frightened that she took a step back, and then realized that he was about to attack her.

Xiao Shang has completely turned to the dark side.

She wielded the God-Slaying Nail and attacked Shang Yanting from the original story, showing no mercy. Relying on her two quarters of an hour of invincibility, she launched a relentless offensive against Shang Yanting, her fierce attacks landing on him, yet he repeatedly dodged them.

"You can't kill me."

"When your light fades, is there still a chance of victory for you?"

"I will kill you, I will definitely kill you!"

The voice of Shang Yanting from the original novel rang in her ears, and hatred appeared in her eyes.

Just then, an image suddenly appeared in Jia Xitong's mind—

An old man holding a brush drew a talisman in front of her. The talisman vanished the moment it was completed, but the image remained as clear as if it had been branded into her mind.

Master of Talismans.

But isn't this fake?

Bang--!

A dazzling light clashed before her once more, and the original Shang Yanting stood directly in front of her. At this moment, she and the original Shang Yanting were locked in a life-or-death struggle.
