The old man's originally cloudy eyes were now wide open like copper bells, filled with disbelief and terror.
He never expected that the strange energy that he was about to resurface, which he had already been holding on for so long, would suddenly and inexplicably crash.
The strange entity residing deep within his body was of an extremely terrifying level, an SS-level existence!
Once it successfully revives, its terrifying power is enough to completely destroy a country, but now it has instantly lost its movement with a snap of this young man's fingers, as if it had been frozen in place.
The old man's lips trembled as he asked incoherently, "Young man, who are you? How do you possess such miraculous abilities to extinguish the strange malfunction within me?"
Zhou Bing grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, and chuckled, "Just call me Zhou Bing. The guy next to me is Zero from the Ultra Multiverse."
Old Man Qin quickly introduced himself: "Young Brother Zhou Bing, Young Brother Sai Luo, hello, you can call me Old Man Qin."
After saying that, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and abruptly realized what he meant, asking with a puzzled look, "Ultra Multiverse? What is this place? And where is this?"
He slowly raised his head, his gaze falling on the City of Myriad Realms not far away. A strange message of consciousness instantly entered his mind like lightning.
Old Qin sat there quietly. After a while, he could no longer control his long-suppressed emotions, and tears slowly streamed down his cheeks.
He knew that their world, which had once been in dire straits, had finally seen a glimmer of hope; there was hope...
Zhou Bing and Sai Luo listened attentively to Old Man Qin's detailed introduction, as if every word contained endless blood and tears.
Their eyes revealed focus and contemplation, and gradually, the general situation became clearer in their minds, like a blurry picture gradually becoming clear.
Ten years before that, the world they lived in was originally just an insignificant little world, like a tiny star in the vast universe.
The people there live a peaceful and tranquil life, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, and every household is filled with an atmosphere of happiness.
Although there may be occasional minor disputes, and even some localized small-scale wars may break out in some corner.
But all of that was like a tiny ripple on a calm lake, fleeting and without affecting the overall harmony and tranquility of the world. It remained an ordinary, technologically advanced world, where the light of technology shone in every corner, propelling the world forward.
However, the turning point of fate always comes so suddenly.
One day, the blood moon hung in the sky like a blood-red jewel, illuminating the entire world.
At that moment, the world seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious force, and all sorts of strange and unusual phenomena began to emerge one after another.
At first, their first reaction was that this might be the arrival of those terrifying ghosts from legends, and that ancient fear instantly spread through their hearts.
But as time went on, with their keen observation and accumulated experience, they soon realized that these so-called "strange things" were fundamentally different from the ghosts in legends.
They possess unique forms and behaviors that are incomparable to mere ghosts.
So they decisively named these strange entities "mysterious," and this name has since become their term for these unknown things.
After years of reflection and countless summaries of experience, they finally came to a startling conclusion: the supernatural cannot be killed, no matter what means are used.
In this world, only another kind of "weirdness" could pose a threat to them, as if it were a strange balance.
At the same time, they also discovered that gold, this precious metal, has a magical effect of sealing and suppressing strange things, as if gold is born with a power to dispel darkness.
Zhou Bing frowned slightly, a thoughtful glint in his eyes.
Based on what Old Man Qin said, these strange occurrences do indeed seem to resemble rules.
After all, Zhou Bing had participated in many world events, so he had that kind of insight.
Zhou Bing comforted him, "Don't worry, Zero and I will take responsibility for this matter and will definitely help you figure out what's going on in this world."
"However, I think the most important thing right now is that you should buy some pills to properly repair your body."
"Your body is practically a sieve. If you don't get it repaired soon, it probably won't last much longer before it rots away."
Led by Zhou Bing, they arrived at the elixir shop run by the Heavenly Court.
"This is a pill shop run by the Heavenly Court, and some of the pills there were personally refined by Laozi."
"Given your physical condition, Lao Tzu needs to personally prepare a pill for you."
Old Qin, embarrassed by his empty pockets, said, "I have no merit."
Zhou Bing waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll cover it for you first. You can give it to me when you have it later."
He was certainly not the kind of person who was selfless; rather, it was because Old Man Qin's world was of interest to him.
Although merit cannot manifest in a small world, it still exists and will manifest when it is promoted to a medium world.
In Zhou Bing's eyes, Old Man Qin's body should have died long ago; the fact that he has been able to hold on until now is due to his good deeds.
It's just that his merits couldn't manifest deep within his soul.
Moreover, Zhou Bing is investing, betting that the world can give him huge returns.
...
Ye Yun naturally also noticed the situation here.
The fact that this old man Qin was able to get here is due to the influence of their world consciousness.
The world consciousness, already on the verge of collapse, detected a trace of the City of Myriad Realms and sent Old Man Qin over, hoping to find a glimmer of hope.
Ye Yun did a quick calculation and immediately understood the cause of this strange world.
It turns out that a Cthulhu statue was passing by in the World Ocean, and a wisp of its aura infected this world.
Although it was only a wisp of its aura, it was clear that this small world was unable to cope with it.
Cthulhu, this dimensional being that roams multiple worlds, isn't exactly powerful, but its infectivity is certainly quite strong.
The rules of this small world were distorted by this wisp of energy, gradually leading to a bizarre resurgence.
Because the rules have been distorted, these strange creatures possess magical powers that make them impossible to kill.
Unless these rules can be erased, but if the rules are erased, the world will cease to exist.
