Wu Xiangwang once believed that having a good face meant having everything. As long as he looked good, he could completely be a vase and a carefree immortal.
Until he fell into a terrifying w...
After Abyss finished speaking, Wu Xiangwang felt that the "Eye of Fallen" in his palm began to change.
The extreme evil and coldness that could penetrate into his bones began to gradually disappear, replaced by a cool and transparent feeling, which soothed the pain and trauma in his body caused by the evil erosion like water.
Feeling something, Wu Xiangwang opened the hand holding the Eye of Corruption. What appeared before him was no longer the dark, evil Eye of Corruption, but a clear, azure gem with a ripple pattern.
This gem is like the color of the purest ocean, beautiful and profound. When you gaze upon it, you are captivated by it, as if you can see through this pure azure blue and reflect upon your inner thoughts.
This is indeed the most beautiful blue gem.
Abyss's voice echoed behind him: "Although the world in my eyes is not beautiful, perhaps it can change because of you. I give you this... azure eye."
Wu Xiangwang listened to His words and inexplicably thought of the beautiful gems He had given him.
All of those gems are dazzling and beautiful, treasures containing powerful energy. They are treasures that the weird people in the entire weird world are constantly chasing and snatching.
But every time, Abyss could easily deliver those treasures to him, as if He possessed endless energy gems.
"That's impossible!"
Before Wu Xiangwang could grasp the thought that flashed through his mind, the sharp voice of the City Lord of Slaughter rang out over the entire energy wheat field:
"My Fallen Eye! The Eye of the Demon King that I painstakingly obtained a hundred years ago! How could a treasure that has been nurtured with countless energies for a hundred years become what it is now?!"
"What kind of means did you use to destroy this treasure?! Do you even know what a foolish thing you've done?!"
The Lord of Killing City could not accept that the energy gem that he had spent a hundred years to cultivate would suddenly change its properties. The terrible blue color and the pure power like the sky and the ocean were the energies that he hated the most!
It should have been a spiritual treasure that could make anyone fall into depravity at first sight, easily tempt people to change their minds and create strange thoughts, but now it seems to have become something that can soothe people's sorrow and make them calm.
The Slaughter City Lord was furious, his anger taking over the argument. He then once again manipulated the surrounding earth and sand, and eight gigantic, solid earth snakes reappeared. This time, no one could stop him! He was determined to utterly destroy the two individuals who had disrupted his plans.
Huh? Why are there two guys who disrupt His plan?
Who is the other one?
Who suddenly appeared here?
The Lord of Slaughter City seemed to have just realized the existence of Abyss at this moment. When he looked up at Wu Xiangwang's back, his originally angry and ferocious face suddenly stiffened.
The roar and curse that were about to come out were suddenly stuck in the throat.
Why...is there such a powerful creature standing there? Standing behind a human?
Moreover, why did that strange creature, just standing there and staring at him quietly, make him feel cold all over and even feel fear and pain all over his body?
It was as if he had seen Him before and had been ruthlessly and cruelly trampled underfoot.
Once he had this feeling of déjà vu, the memories of the City Lord of Slaughter that had been buried for a hundred years and thrown into the depths of his sea of consciousness, which had once filled him with deep fear, began to revive uncontrollably.
He stared at Abyss intently, searching for images and fragments in his memory that were eerily similar to this one.
Then, He froze.
"Y-you...you can't...how could you still be alive?"
"You are...you are! How could you be here?!"
The Lord of Slaughter City had obviously found a scene that matched his memory, but these were the only two sentences he could say.
When he was about to open his mouth to say something even more shocking and bizarre, he saw the strange being standing behind the human give him a cold smile, and stretched out his slender fingers with black nails and gently pressed them against his lips. Then, the powerful Lord of Killing City, who Wu Xiangwang was eager to deal with, began to tremble violently without any warning, and his human body gradually became transparent.
Wu Xiangwang instantly turned his head to look at Abyss behind him: "We can't kill him!"
Abyss pressed his finger to the young man's thin lips: "I'm not killing him. I'm just lending him some power, hoping he can regain control of his body."
Even after returning, he could only survive for a short while.
Wu Xiangwang turned his head to look at the City Lord of Slaughter. He was indeed caught up in a battle with him again, but this time it seemed that the City Lord of Slaughter, who had taken over his body, no longer had the absolute upper hand.
He saw the Lord of Slaughter, or the real Lord of Exile, slowly raise his right hand, then fiercely insert two fingers into the third eye on his forehead, and forcibly dig the black eyeball out of his body.
He must have felt severe pain when he did this. His entire face was distorted by pain, and although he couldn't make any sound, he was still roaring silently.
He looked extremely painful, but after digging out the black eyeball, a somewhat comforting smile appeared on his handsome and gentle face.
That eye was like a miniature version of the Eye of Fallen. After being dug out, it continued to scream and struggle, stretching out black tentacles, trying to return to the body that He had robbed for ten years.
But how is this possible?
The young man who held His hand kept wiping the blood from his forehead, or the hand with black eyes suddenly exerted force.
He should have killed this weirdo who took pleasure in killing humans and had no good feelings at all ten years ago.
Unfortunately, he failed ten years ago, which indirectly led to the creation of this exile city filled with negative energy.
He once felt despair and wanted to fall asleep deep in his body and never wake up again, or even die in his sleep.
But fortunately, he persisted.
He waited until today.
Even though he knew that his severely injured and already strangely corrupted body would not be able to survive after digging out the black eye, what did it matter?
He finally accomplished what he had wanted to do ten years ago.
“Aa ...
"Let me go, let me go, let me go! Damn human! Damn human—"
The eyes of the murderous city lord were still screaming sharply, but the sound he made was so small that only the human who was holding him could hear it.
"Put me back! Put me back! I'm willing to give you all my strength so you can live! I'm willing to go back and become your subordinate, and you can control this body!"
"You can't live without me! Don't you want to live?! You've been suppressed by me for ten years! Don't you want to see the world and don't want to go back to your original Earth?!"
The true eye of depravity is constantly instigating, tempting, and holding tight to His human depravity.
However, all He received was greater pressure and the fear that He was about to completely collapse and die.
"Damn it!! Are you really going to die with me?!"
Are all human beings so stupid and unaware?!
Then, the Lord of Killing City, who had the greatest hope of advancing to the quasi-kingship, heard the soft reply from the human who had been suppressed by him for ten years.
"certainly."
"From the day I found you ten years ago, I wanted to die with you."
The Fallen Eyes of the Murderous City Lord widened to their maximum. Before being destroyed by this human with his final strength, he felt immense anger and fear, and finally roared out his last words:
"So what if you kill me?! After I die, all the ghosts in the city will riot! The entire city will fall into the abyss of despair and fratricide! Even if I perish, all of you humans in this city will not have a good ending!!"
"I'm just waiting for you all to die one by one—"
Bang.
With a small sound, the black eyeball exploded into a pool of black sewage in the human's hand.
Wu Xiangwang looked at him and wanted to say something, but when he saw those eyes filled with smiles and relief, he opened his mouth but could not say anything.
Instead, the young man who was bleeding and whose body was gradually becoming transparent smiled at him.
"Ah... I heard that you went through five cities and got bloody wanted warrants in all of them... Is that right?"
Wu Xiangwang paused and then nodded: "Yes."
The young man laughed: "That's really amazing."
Wu Xiangwang also laughed: "I think you, City Lord, are more powerful. You killed a city lord by yourself. Super cool."
The young man covered the bleeding wound on his forehead and smiled: "Yeah, we are all very powerful."
"However, I probably can't help you solve this city's problems now. Before I die, I just want to see the humans trapped in this city freed. Awesome brother, can you fulfill this little wish of mine before I die?"
Wu Xiangwang looked into those gentle and determined eyes, and suddenly felt like laughing, but also felt a kind of uncontrollable sadness.
This is such an interesting person and also a brave and powerful person.
If possible, they would have become very good partners and comrades, but now it seems that they have missed ten years.
"...Don't worry, the humans in this city will definitely be liberated."
"I guarantee it with my friends."
The young city lord didn't understand the meaning of this sentence for a moment, and then he saw the young man turn around and walk towards a few special human adventurers who had been growing mushrooms over there.
When he returned, he received a warm welcome from the people on the mushroom.
The scene made the young city lord feel dazed for a moment. He once had such a partner, and they were all moving forward towards the same dream and goal.
Time is merciless to everything in the world, and even more so to them.
He is still alive, but his companions... are no longer in this world.
"Wangwang! Are you okay? You looked really scary with all that black energy coming out of you just now. I almost thought you were going to become a big devil!"
Wu Xiangwang laughed: "How could that be? I am an upright socialist young man."
"That weirdo who suddenly appeared behind you...is it the same weirdo who invited you to dance in the City of Peace?"
Wang Xiao pushed his glasses. Although the creature had been shrouded in black mist since its appearance and his true face could not be seen, Wang Xiao discovered a clue from the golden antlers that appeared and disappeared in the mist.
"Do you know that weirdo?"
Wu Xiangwang turned to look at the guy in the black fog, and seemed to see his pair of calm eyes, one red and one black, through the black fog.
He chuckled, "Probably."
"I'm trying to persuade that guy to rebel, hoping that he will follow us and walk on the right path."
The friends were instantly shocked by Wangwang’s words.
He can even incite the weird to rebel. Should we say that he really deserves to be the fan of the weird who successfully won the championship of the 10th Natural City Beauty and Weirdness Competition?
"Well, do your best!"
"That's right, we are all your solid backing."
"So what do we do now? Those humans are rioting. We've already planted three layers of these mushrooms in this direction, but we still can't stop the bizarre cannibalism and self-exile that's spreading throughout the city."
Wu Xiangwang took a deep breath and looked at Wu Xingyun: "It's up to you now, Xingyun."
Wu Xingyun was stunned for a moment: "Me?"
"What can I do?"
Wu Xiangwang looked at the hundreds and thousands of giant mushrooms surrounding the energy wheat field, which had become a huge mushroom forest. "Next, I want you to transform all of these mushrooms into positive energy mushrooms, and then explode them all, letting the mushroom spores and fragments fill the entire city!"
Wu Xingyun shook his head repeatedly as he listened, "No, I can't! I, I can't turn all these mushrooms into positive energy mushrooms! They're already sad-faced mushrooms. Unless I awaken new abilities and create new smiley-face mushrooms, I can't change the mushrooms that have already displayed their abilities."
"No! You can!"
Wu Xiangwang stuffed the azure gem full of energy into Wu Xingyun's hand.
"This is a top-level energy gem that can dispel discouragement and bring peace and joy to the soul!"
"Hold it! You've been brainwashing those mushrooms constantly, and you've even managed to change your own bad luck into what it is now. Can't you also brainwash the crying-face mushrooms into smiling ones?!"
"This is a tenth-level energy gem!"
Wu Xiangwang emphasized the level of the energy gem, making Wu Xingyun feel as if he was holding a mountain of gold in his hand.
For a moment, he felt that it was difficult for him to do it, but he also felt that the tenth-level energy gem might really help him change his fate!
When he was hesitant, his friends gave him great encouragement:
"You won't die if you try! Why not? This is a top-tier energy gem. What if you can turn into a lucky mushroom from now on?"
"Everyone in the city has already started committing suicide. Anyway, the outcome can't be any worse than it is now. There's no need to feel psychologically burdened. Get started! The sooner you become a smiling face, the sooner you will be a savior!"
"Amitabha, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. The donor is a person with special luck and great blessings, and his wishes will surely come true."
"Hey! Why don't you act quickly? I'll just give you a wish-fulfilling talisman!"
So with all the encouragement from his friends, Wu Xingyun held the azure gem in his hand, and finally gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and began to brainwash himself and all the mushrooms.
"Good luck! We're having chicken tonight!"
"The world is so beautiful, we can't be impatient. We must live happily and joyfully, so that our life will not be in vain!"
"I'm not unlucky, I'm not unlucky, I'm not unlucky! I'm a person who will have good fortune in the future!"
"Don't be depressed. Transform all your depressing energy into positive energy! Everything will turn around, and after adversity comes good. The ultimate depression is fearlessness!"
Wu Xingyun kept speaking words of self-persuasion and self-conviction. Perhaps the top-grade gem in his hand really gave him strength, or perhaps he had successfully brainwashed himself in the end.
In short, the more he spoke, the more excited he became, and the more he was able to convince himself.
Then Shang Chong pointed at the giant mushroom beneath their feet and exclaimed, "Lucky Mushroom, you succeeded! The corners of the mouth of the giant mushroom beneath our feet have already begun to turn upwards!!"
Wu Xiangwang and the others also quickly looked down, and sure enough, they saw that the crying face had begun to turn into a smiling face.
Wu Xiangwang never thought that his idea could actually be realized through Wu Xingyun. He just thought that these mushrooms were the product of the materialization of Wu Xingyun's energy, so they would definitely be affected by Wu Xingyun itself.
People without abilities cannot control their abilities. If they do, it is simply because they do not have enough confidence in their ability to control themselves, or they have not found the correct way to control themselves.
Wu Xingyun is probably a person who has no confidence in himself. He is eager to resolve the hopeless mood of everyone in this city, so he created the Dejection Mushroom, which can absorb negative energy.
But because he felt that he was not lucky and was very depressed, he did not grow the depressed mushroom into the best shape.
Wu Xiangwang thought, perhaps this mushroom should not be called the dejection mushroom. When it grows, it can absorb countless negative energies, and when it matures, it can turn suffering and sadness into beautiful fruits, and then gradually change the world.
Now it seems that this may actually be possible.
And Wu Xiangwang has a new understanding of the supernatural abilities of the adventurers in this world.
Perhaps each ability appears different at first, but in the end, these abilities all converge to the limit of what humans can reach.
When Wu Xingyun discovered that his mushrooms could really change their appearance according to his thoughts, he felt like the door to a new world had suddenly opened up to him.
He didn't even need his friends to say anything encouraging; he began to brainwash and change himself at a rapid pace.
Then, the hundreds and thousands of mushrooms in the huge mushroom forest began to gradually change the pattern on the umbrella.
The crying face pattern originally made people feel depressed and sad when they saw it, but the downward line of the mouth gradually began to bend upwards, first forming an expressionless straight line, and finally becoming a perfect upward arc.
Wu Xingyun looked at the smiling face mushrooms and excitedly chased after his friends, shouting, "How are they? What do you think of these smiling faces?!"
Wu Xiangwang gasped as he looked at the giant smiley mushrooms. "Don't you think these mushrooms' eyes are a little too round? How about turning them into squinty, smiling eyes?"
In fact, the smiley faces at this time are all fake smiles that can be described as "hehe".
"That's right! The smile should be lively! It's okay to stick out your tongue!" Shang Chong added seriously.
"I think it's good to open your mouth. A hearty laugh can make people feel happier." Qian Bao sincerely recommended the emoticon pack he uses most often.
Wang Xiao raised his eyebrows: "You can also add sunglasses to your smiling face, which will highlight the cool and proud mood."
"No, no, no, I think a big grin is the happiest expression. Since we're going to change it to a smiley mushroom, then of course we should change it to the most positive smile!"
Every time Wu Xingyun listened to a friend's advice, his expression would become confused, and by the end, his expression had become the same as the smiling face on the mushroom.
He took one last look at Brother Wangwang, who wiped his face and said, "Don't listen to their nonsense. Just follow your own ideas. Remember, just be happy. We must spread our luck and happiness to the entire city."
"After all, they have been in despair and pain for too long and need confidence and happiness."
Wu Xingyun blinked when he heard the last sentence, then he nodded solemnly.
Brother Wangwang is right, it is enough to just convey confidence and happiness.
As a result, the patterns of the following mushrooms changed faster, and the crying faces on thousands of mushrooms quickly disappeared.
Instead, there are lively-looking mushroom patterns with different smiling faces, some blinking and sticking out tongues, some laughing, some baring their teeth in triumph, and some with cool smiling faces wearing sunglasses.
In short, all the mushrooms changed from crying faces to smiling faces in a very short time.
And when those mushrooms turned into smiling faces, Wu Xiangwang and the other six people rushed towards the mushroom forest full of smiling faces and exploded these smiling mushrooms one by one.
Those mushrooms seemed to understand their mission. After being chopped down, they turned into countless flying mushroom spores like snowflakes. In this city infected by negative energy, a "snow" called "happiness and hope" fell.
This "snow" flies in the air, invisibly devouring the negative energy spreading in the air.
This "snow" fell on those desperate, crazy, half-weird humans, melting into their bodies, as if it also dissolved the darkness in their minds and hearts, activating the most deeply remembered joy and faith in their consciousness -
Life is short and the road ahead is long.
The dark clouds above our heads have dissipated, and the future is bright!
Why are you so depressed? Get up and have fun!
