A long time ago, someone wanted to make a fox fur coat, so he went to negotiate with the foxes and asked for their best fur. However, the foxes simply hid in the mountains and were never found again. This story was passed down and gradually became confused, and it became "seeking the skin of a tiger".

And now, what Lu Ban did was no different from trying to get the skin of a tiger.

You need to seek the help of an outer god to seal another outer god.

Anyone else would have gone crazy the moment they saw this idea.

But Lu Ban is now seriously considering what he can bring to Baobao.

"You have a bad relationship with Him. Sealing Him will help your plan."

Xia on the side suddenly spoke up. She had heard Lu Ban talk about some things about Baobao's original body and incarnation. She thought Baobao should be the most down-to-earth Outer God, and maybe he could impress her with these human demands.

As long as you have something to ask for, you will definitely be able to grasp its purpose.

"But whether He wakes up or not, it won't affect me. The relationship between us is much harder to describe. It's like those neighbors who usually disturb your nap with their quarrels, but will also help you when danger comes."

She used some strange metaphors.

"It's actually very simple. It's also very simple for me to help you. It's just like bending down to pick up this shell. But why should I pick up this shell?"

She looked at the shell in her hand. It was ordinary and had no special features.

“Because it’s more fun this way.”

Lu Ban continued the conversation, causing Bao Bao to raise his head and glance at him.

"If you seal this Outer God back, then this foreign land will be able to survive. The humans living here will struggle on the brink of destruction. Their actions will give rise to countless joys and sorrows, and all human nature will be reflected before the end of the world."

Lu Ban said lightly.

“And if this place were to be destroyed at this moment, all the chaos would vanish into thin air, and cease to exist along with His awakening.”

Hearing Lu Ban's words, Baobao smiled.

"You still understand me. It makes me want to eat you and meet the roundworm you put in my stomach."

“I’m not very tasty.”

Lu Ban answered decisively.

"Don't worry, I will definitely try it if I have the chance."

Leopard said, glancing at Xia again.

"There are indeed some things in this world that interest me. What you said makes sense. Rather than letting that guy just overturn it, why not let me do it..."

She licked her upper lip.

"Don't worry, I'll go talk to Him now and see if I can let Him sleep a little longer."

Then, Leopard's entire body disappeared into the air like a faded watercolor painting.

“…”

Xiaya looked at the disappearing Leopard and had an indescribable feeling.

"Will she really keep her promise?"

Looking at Lu Ban, the mage girl asked.

"Who knows, but I think my proposal is valuable to her."

Lu Ban knew very well that although it looked like a joke, those few words just now did bring some hope to the world.

Just like Jost who built the Gray Tower, what Lu Ban said was to prolong the short-term suffering of Hedao for thousands of years.

When the Outer Gods awaken, the people of this world, whether it is Captain Changzheng, scholar Axiang, or Amber and Hongye who will appear in the future, will all be annihilated into the void, and there will no longer be any stories.

What he asked Baobao to do was to delay the destruction.

During this period, the people of the island will suffer from pollution and encounter many strange and terrible things. They will have disputes and conflicts, and will show the ugliest and noblest parts of human nature.

Lu Ban's behavior was like using an expensive machine to forcibly prolong the life of a patient with severe burns all over his body, and making him suffer for decades.

Ruthless and cruel, but also a way to survive.

At least in the future that Lu Ban sees, Hedao is still lingering on, so perhaps all the cost will be meaningful.

He looked at Xia and saw the alienated part of her.

"You shouldn't go any further."

Lu Ban only took a glance and knew Xia's condition. She was in a state where she could collapse at any time. The pollution was deeply rooted. If Xia herself had not mastered magic, she would have completely lost her sanity and turned into a monster.

"Everyone is mortal, isn't he?"

Xia smiled, put on her armor again, and turned back into the powerful wizard she was.

"You can come to my world to retire. Although there are some strange things there, at least it's comfortable."

Lu Ban suggested.

As soon as he finished speaking, a low roar was heard from the direction of the deep well.

This sound was different from the previous rumbling of the earth; it was more like the roar of some wild beast.

The sound caused the trees to tremble and sway.

As a result, ripples visible to the naked eye appeared on the sand.

The sea became restless, and all the giants became uneasy. Old Song looked at the readings in the measuring instrument with a solemn expression.

The next moment.

A ray of light bloomed from the center of the island.

That is a red light.

Lu Ban once saw a documentary that mentioned that in the depths of the sea, there are some volcanic craters that spew magma. Sometimes, hot magma would flow out of those craters. The high-temperature molten semi-solid state would come into contact with the sea water, rolling up a large amount of gas and emitting a dark red light.

At this moment, the light rose above the island like the brilliance of something with an element of destruction.

A commotion immediately broke out among the giants on the island.

"The deep well disappeared?"

"Damn, what happened?"

"The unknown source of contamination is spreading, and we need to restart the deep well immediately."

"No, it's too late. We need to leave here quickly."

Amid the noise, Lu Ban heard a voice.

clatter--

That was the sound of the counters on the giants ringing.

Since this sound started, it has been accelerating and becoming more intense.

Da da da——

The sound of the counter became rapid and soon reached the frequency that Lu Ban and the others had heard in the deep well.

This means that the pollution has completely leaked out, and now the entire island is shrouded in extremely high concentrations of pollution.

In the sky, the red sun rises, and its ominous light makes people feel instinctively terrified and scared.

"what happened?"

The giants were at a loss, only Lao Song reacted in time.

"There has been a serious pollution leak. All containment measures have failed. Everyone board the ship immediately and evacuate this area."

He shouted.

Under the pollution of this red sun, if they act slowly, their ships will be transformed and it will be difficult to escape.

"Team Two, follow me, go to the core and buy some time."
