Obviously, if the original idea of the [Man of Darkness] was to trap Lu Ban here, then he might have chosen the wrong method.
He probably didn't expect that other evil gods would intervene, nor did he expect that these chosen ones would actually sacrifice themselves just to get Lu Ban out of this illusion.
Of course, after dealing with such gods above gods many times, Lu Ban could probably figure out the tempers of these evil gods.
Maybe the [Man of Darkness] had actually anticipated all of this, and even Lu Ban's ability to escape from this world was within his expectations.
It is also possible that this entertainer simply wanted to witness Lu Ban's struggle in this world, and send other chosen ones away again.
Just like many people, when they cry after watching a movie, they will not stop watching this movie. Instead, they will go online to find other people’s reactions to the movie and laugh happily when they see them crying.
In any case, Lu Ban now holds the key to breaking the deadlock.
"I want to take another look at this place."
Lu Ban signaled to Amber not to hurt Xia, and looked at the monsters again.
"Do these monsters need to be dealt with?"
Amber nodded.
The next moment, countless black shadows rushed towards the white monsters.
The fighting power of these black shadows was obviously much stronger than that of the white monsters. Although the white monsters were more numerous, they were still gradually devoured. Finally, in less than a quarter of an hour, all the white monsters on the ground were cleared away, and the rest fled into the sea, chased by the black shadows.
"I am somewhat curious. Since this world was created by Him based on an alien world, how did He do it?"
Lu Ban asked again.
This may seem like something worth noting, but it is very important to Lu Ban.
Because this means that when one reaches the level of [Man of Darkness], one can use the deserted foreign land to create a relatively normal world.
"I don't know. He didn't tell me that."
Amber shook her head and looked at Xia warily again.
"Which side is the case from ten years ago and the jade pendant related to?"
Lu Ban asked again.
“It should be related to them.”
Amber pointed at the dark shadow beside her.
The black shadow turned its head slightly, like a cute husky.
"So you took the jade pendant?"
"Um."
Amber nodded obediently.
"That was something He left behind as a foreshadowing for you to come here and witness all this."
Lu Ban thought about it and realized that for an Outer God like Charlotte, traveling through time was not a problem. As an incarnation that could rival the [Man of Darkness], it was normal for her to intervene in the operation of this world.
As for why she didn't directly help Lu Ban.
He knows it very well too.
Although it seemed that Charlotte was relatively friendly to him, she was ultimately a fun-loving person.
Whether Lu Ban exists or not has little impact on Charlotte herself.
It's like meeting a cat on the road. You usually feed it some sausage, touch its head, etc., and seem to be very friendly to it. But if this cat fights with other cats that day, you will just watch from the side and will not risk being scratched to stop them.
So, when the [Man of Darkness] grabbed Lu Ban, Charlotte probably watched from the sidelines for fun, and only took action when she felt that the time was right.
This also proves that as long as he does not deviate from the script, no matter how powerful Lu Ban is, he is ultimately just a plaything of the Outer Gods.
“What should we do now?”
Xia also looked at Amber warily. She didn't understand what Lu Ban and Amber had just talked about, but she could roughly guess that this was probably the mastermind behind the incident.
"This island should be a projection from the past. As early as ten years ago, it was abandoned due to a sacrificial ceremony."
Amber said again.
Lu Ban finally understood what happened on the island.
It is estimated that ten years ago, Zou Changyu and his wife came here to perform a sacrificial ceremony, trying to summon the evil god, and then summoned these white monsters, killing all the islanders and leaving the island deserted.
The pollution caused abnormalities on the island. All the tourists and islanders that Lu Ban and his friends met were phantoms of the past. The time and space here were disordered. What Trist and Lu Ban had just experienced in the hotel was what happened in the past.
The tragedy of the unfortunate hotel owner and their alienated children continues here, without end.
The same goes for tourists and waiters in bars, who once killed each other because of pollution.
Charlotte and the Dark Man are like two directors with different opinions. They keep adding their own ideas to the established plot, which eventually leads the plot in an unpredictable direction.
"These boats are actually fake. If you try to go out on a boat, you will attract those white monsters."
Amber said again, she was silent for a moment.
“If you want to go to the nearest island, you can rely on these guys.”
She pointed at the shadows.
“…”
Xia looked at the shadows, not sure if Amber was joking.
"Seriously?"
She confirmed.
Although Amber really looked like she wanted to kill herself, Xia could see that as long as Lu Ban was there, Amber would not do anything to her.
"Well, it's actually quite comfortable to step on. It's soft."
Amber said, she lifted her feet to show them, but people only noticed her fair and tender feet, and didn't pay any attention to what those black shadow monsters felt like.
Lu Ban tried to stand up.
Indeed, it is very soft, like a sofa.
Moreover, this black shadow has a strong load-bearing capacity and shows no signs of being crushed.
"Come."
Lu Ban stretched out his hand towards Xia.
Xia hesitated for a moment before holding Lu Ban's hand, taking a step forward and stepping on the black shadow monsters.
Amber glanced at the two people's holding hands and said nothing.
The shadow monster quickly began to wriggle.
Xiaya almost lost his balance and fell down, but fortunately Lu Ban grabbed him in time.
"Strange, I'm standing pretty steady."
Lu Ban asked Xiaya to bend down slightly and stand more steadily.
"snort."
Amber just snorted, and moved forward on the waves with countless black shadows.
Lu Ban looked back at the island.
The entire island was shrouded in fog and soon disappeared, never to be found again.
The long night was finally coming to an end, and when the day was about to dawn, the dark shadow finally arrived at the nearby island beach.
From an outsider's perspective, it looked like Lu Ban and his companions were walking on water, breaking through the waves.
Fortunately, no fishermen were encountered, so there was no need to use Amber to deal with those witnesses.
Of course, even if someone saw it, they would not think that they had encountered a monster, but would just regard it as a dream.
On the beach, the black shadow monsters sank into the sea one after another and were submerged by the water. Amber stepped on the beach and then she remembered that she was barefoot.
"Let me carry you."
Lu Ban stretched out his hand towards Amber.
Amber hesitated for a while before she nodded and was picked up by Lu Ban.
Xia didn't say anything, just watched silently.
The sun rises from the sea, casting a golden glow.
The three of them walked towards the rising sun.
