Li Qingyu, who had casually drawn his greatsword, also looked up and observed his surroundings.

In fact, Li Qingyu had a rather deep impression of these black mists.

I remember not long ago, when I was in junior high school in Negative Universe, every night, this black fog would spread into the school, and later it even spread into the dormitory.

Unlike when he transformed into Chu Xuan earlier, he was no longer able to roam freely in the black mist.

At that time, Li Qingyu could only avoid the invasion of the black mist by hiding under the covers, a strange method that conformed to the rules of the negative universe.

Of course, it wasn't that Li Qingyu was cowardly at that time. Li Qingyu originally planned to slowly figure out the rules before conducting a detailed exploration of the black fog at night in the school.

But who knew...

The flow of this match... was inexplicably sped up again...

To what extent will it accelerate...?

She's accelerated to the point where she's a deep red-haired old man, and she still hasn't become a sister...

Just as Li Qingyu was feeling sentimental.

As the black fog rolled forward, the sky above the stadium finally became completely dark, and nothing could be seen anymore.

Only the stadium lights remained, illuminating everything inside.

"Dark clouds are pressing down on the place..."

Li Qingyu licked his lips, anticipating the arrival of evolution points.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Li Qingyu asked Ma Panghu, who was standing next to him, "What's the situation now? How should we proceed with this process?"

Ma Panghu glanced at Li Qingyu, seemingly speechless that Li Qingyu was only asking this question now.

"Well, the situation is that my former boss is trying to prevent me from getting a permanent position."

"I just realized that too. How could a universe born from negative energy possibly transform into a positive universe without any obstacles, as long as it completes the process?"

"This is called..." Ma Panghu sighed, somewhat melancholy, "a tribulation..."

"Tribulation?" Li Qingyu reached out his left hand and touched his back, casually asking while trying out a master-level massage technique, "What kind of tribulation? To protect the stadium?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, that should be the case." Ma Panghu nodded.

"The entire stadium is the manifestation of the final avenue. Originally, with the emergence of the prison battle champion, the stadium should have been completely integrated. Then, it would have led the other avenues to start the reversal process and connected the Yin-Yang origin point with the Five Elements Realm."

"Finally, the Yin-Yang origin point, which completely transformed from negative to positive, the Five Elements Realm, and the Three Thousand Great Daos were integrated into one."

"That was the beginning of the normal evolution of the universe, the Explosion."

"By then... there will be absolutely no chance of turning it into a positive or negative one."

After listening to Ma Panghu's series of explanations, Li Qingyu nodded, seemingly impressed but not quite understanding.

"Oh...and now?"

"Now?" Ma Panghu was taken aback by Li Qingyu's question, but replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, after I've cleared out the surrounding threats, I'll go to heaven."

"Okay, I understand." Li Qingyu clicked his tongue and asked with some doubt, "Do these negative energies also have consciousness like you? They even know to stop you and not let you leave?"

"That's called instinct... just like wanting to eat when you're hungry, or wanting to sleep when you're full..."

“It can’t be considered consciousness…” Ma Panghu concluded.

"I'm hungry and want to eat..."

Li Qingyu rubbed his stomach; indeed, he hadn't eaten yet...

Although the sun is very bright, it's not enough to fill you up...

Thinking of this.

Li Qingyu reached into his pocket and started rummaging around.

Yes, because of the prison battle that just ended, not only have the contestants' appearances returned to normal, but Li Qingyu also discovered that the Strange Pants are now usable and have been completely restored.

Within seconds, Li Qingyu pulled out a black earphone.

Hold my hand!

Bound to Colonel Chu's hand.

I wonder what Colonel Chu is doing right now...

Could it be true, as Leonardo da Vinci said, that he found a wife in the second universe?

I thought about it.

Li Qingyu casually tossed the handle into the Pineapple Castle to prevent the strange pants from being disturbed again.

As for... summoning Colonel Chu...

Hmm... the situation isn't that bad yet, so it's best not to bother Colonel Chu too easily. We can try to communicate with him when we have time and ask about the situation in the Second Universe...

Then, Li Qingyu reached into his pocket again.

Then, Li Qingyu took out a bunch of bananas, casually broke off one and handed it to Ma Panghu, and then started peeling and eating the bananas.

It's normal to eat something before a fight, right?

As for why I ate bananas...

Cough cough cough...

Li Qingyu felt like he hadn't been to the toilet in ages, and he just wanted to see if there was any hope left...

At the end of the immortal path, who stands at the peak?

Suddenly, a chilling voice rang out from the pile of corpses in the corner.

Following the sound, Li Qingyu saw Leng Lieutenant Leng, with disheveled hair and a crooked mouth, slowly walk out from behind the corpse.

“Once frozen in cold air, the path is shattered!” Lieutenant Leng closed his eyes and looked up, his face filled with loneliness and reminiscence.

"Oh dear! My steamed bun is stained with blood!"

Suddenly, another voice rang out from the other side.

Li Qingyu looked again and saw Miss Orange walking out of the pile of corpses, holding two large, blood-stained steamed buns. Far from being afraid of the wreckage around her, she sighed deeply at the buns in her hands.

Steamed bun??

Li Qingyu was utterly astonished.

By the way, wasn't Miss Orange given a special admission because of awakening her E-level talent, just like Roger? Why is she also in the gymnasium?

Could it be that Qiao Shengsheng back then wasn't Miss Orange?

Just as Li Qingyu was wondering, the awakening of Lieutenant Leng and Miss Orange seemed to be the fuse.

One by one, the players who had been lying on the ground woke up and got up.

However, few could remain as calm as Lieutenant Leng and Miss Orange. Exclamations, screams, whining, and the sounds of peanut peeling filled the air.

In a short time.

The stadium was bustling with activity once again.

Furthermore, most of the contestants who saw Li Qingyu rushed towards him as if they had seen a savior.

"Li Qingyu, this match is all up to you."

"The stadium? Is this a contest between all civilizations? What's with all those corpses? How can it be so bloody so early in the competition?"

"Brother Lick King, you must protect your little sister! Her black stockings are ruined."

"Aaaaaah... This is terrifying! ~ Boss of the Asian theater, please take me with you! ~"

"Li Qingyu, give me a banana too!"
