But in the last few days, the barrier set up by the monsters here has reappeared.

Suita said, "Only monsters can enter this barrier."

It's as if a celestial fox has appeared to protect the monster amidst destruction.

Su Deng walked closer, reached out and touched the invisible barrier, frowning: "Can you go in?"

Cui Tai nodded.

Su Deng looked at Su Muye inside and asked, "Could you help me bring those two out?"

“Yes…” Suita hesitated, “Although they’ve turned into stone statues, they’re the safest people inside right now…”

This barrier can protect the monsters that hide inside.

Su Deng looked at Su Muye from afar, and after a long while, she asked Cui Tai, "Can they turn back?"

Cui Tai opened her mouth and said, "I don't know."

As long as it's safe here, he'll follow you to the next game instance.

Su Deng exhaled a breath of stale air, opened the control panel, and called out "Game System".

404 error, no response.

Su Deng flipped through the monster encyclopedia, looking at each monster one by one, and saw the Heavenly Fox, the Blue Demon, the Red Demon, and the Early Fox.

The morning fox and the heavenly fox are of the same race and are both yokai, so there shouldn't be any problems...

She became a priestess, which should have ended the game, but it didn't, and the game system didn't provide any instructions for the next task...

Could it be that the witch god ritual was not completed?

We can't just sit here and wait to die.

"Wow! It's snowing!"

Just then, Cui Tai suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Su Deng subconsciously looked up and saw snow falling heavily.

The snow fell so suddenly and so big, is it a snowman?

Su Deng turned around and looked at the tall mountain that could be seen even from here, with the shrine on the summit shrouded in snow and mist.

Two figures flew towards the shrine.

Su Deng's pupils contracted slightly. She quickly told Cui Tai, "Please take care of them for me," and then turned and went down the mountain back to the shrine.

When they returned to the foot of the Firefly Forest, Quan Gongsi and the others were still there, but there were even more people. They were all kneeling on the ground facing the direction of Wushan Shrine, kowtowing and praying, with a mournful wail all around.

And this world has collapsed and burned beyond recognition.

“That’s enough!”

Suddenly, another clear and sharp voice came from above, as if it had its own amplification, echoing down the mountain.

It's... Riki Jinomiya's voice!

It came from the shrine on the mountaintop.

Riki Tsunomiya stood on the edge of the cliff at the top of the mountain where the shrine was located, looking down at the crumbling world below, weeping bitterly at the people who were constantly dying and disappearing. Her fingers were clenched tightly, and tears kept overflowing from her eyes.

"Since it is my sin, I will atone for it myself!"

She turned around, knelt on the ground, facing the shrine, and said sorrowfully, "I am willing to become your sacrifice, to bear all the sins of the world. I beg the Lord God to forgive all living beings!"

No sound came from the shrine, but the screams from the collapse below the mountain continued.

Riki Tsunomiya looked sad, as if she had thought of something. She stood up, spread her arms, and gracefully turned with a dance step.

She began to dance the Kagura dance, and the sacrificial dance.

On the edge of the cliff of Wushan Shrine, she danced all the dances she had practiced in her life to the gods of this shrine, to all living beings, embracing all the sins of humanity, and praying for the gods to forgive the world, blaming only her.

She jumped with all her might, she jumped with meticulous care, her white dress and scarlet trousers fluttering like butterflies in the snow, graceful as a startled swan.

Like the precarious Wushan Mountain, which is like a pillar of heaven, it will not collapse in a short time. Su Deng used the artificial elevator to come up and saw Ci Gong Li Xi dancing desperately.

Even when she fell, she got up and kept jumping, her tears melting instantly in the snow.

The snow fell heavily, covering the world, but the Snow Child was nowhere to be seen.

Riki Tsunomiya went mad, jumping incessantly. When her shoes fell off, she jumped barefoot, offering all her devotion to the gods.

"I beg the gods to punish me! Forgive all living beings!"

She knelt before the shrine, bowing and kowtowing until her forehead was bleeding, but she seemed oblivious to it. She got up and continued dancing until her feet were red and bleeding, until... her once black and smooth hair turned snow-white.

Until he couldn't jump anymore, he fell to the ground for the Nth time.

Su Deng stood not far away, looking at her calmly: "If you knew this would happen, why did you run away?"

Riki, sobbing softly, looked up at her, her vision blurred. "I just want to live for myself this once..."

Su Deng remained silent.

"I'm sorry..." Riki Jimiya choked back tears, "It's my fault..."

She was wrong.

Only now does she understand that she was branded by the gods from birth and will be their servant for the rest of her life.

No matter when she tries to escape, this will be the outcome.

In this world, everyone has to pay the same price for their choices. Riki Tsunomiya had so many opportunities to escape, but she chose to escape at this particular moment. Perhaps it was all predetermined.

Or perhaps, it wasn't that she had no choice, but that someone was manipulating her, since for the Divine Court, this was a game instance that could be changed at any time with technological advancements.

Looking at Tsunomiya Riki, whose hair had turned white, Su Deng remained expressionless, showing no emotional fluctuation.

Riki Tsunomiya rose again and knelt before the main shrine, saying, "I offer myself to redeem all the sins of the world, and beg the gods to forgive the world!!"

"What are your qualifications?"

This time, a clear and ethereal voice rang out from the shrine where the gods were enshrined. Not only the people on the mountain heard it, but the people at the foot of the mountain also heard it clearly.

The gods... have spoken!

Gods... really exist!

Everyone was filled with excitement and fear, and they kowtowed even more vigorously, but the destruction of this world continued.
