Chapter 1 Sealing the Well of Reincarnation

Opening the seal on the Well of Reincarnation should have been a very troublesome matter.

The secret space hidden beneath the royal city required the presence of at least seven Primogenitor-level monsters or elders from the Monster Kingdom, who would then perform a ritual together to open it.

Fortunately, due to the current situation in the kingdom, most of the high-ranking monster bosses were gathered together...not to mention seven elders, seventeen could be mustered.

In addition, the situation was critical, and time was of the essence, so no dissenting voices would try to stop Jue Ge from jumping into the well.

Therefore, just ten minutes later, Feng Bujue and his party had already arrived at the entrance to the Well of Reincarnation.

"It's enough for Brother Zun to be here to meet me; the rest of you should go outside to defend the city walls." Before leaving, Feng Bujue naturally had to give instructions. "If the city is captured and everyone is dead before I return, then my trip will be meaningless."

"Jue Ge... will you be alright..." Xiao Tan seemed a little worried. "None of the elders know what's down in this well. I think this trip of yours is a bit risky."

"Otherwise... I'll go in with you?" Xu Huai Shang suggested. "With two people, there's more room to maneuver if something unexpected happens."

"No need," Feng Bujue replied. "Even if I were to find someone to go with, in terms of character abilities, Xiao Tan would be more suitable than you. It would be a waste of your combat power to not have you outside killing monsters."

"Then I..." Xiao Tan was about to reply.

But Jue Ge interrupted him again: "But I don't want you to go either, because if I fail, your 'Time Power' and 'Black Flame' will be the only remaining means of fighting the Fighting Demon."

"Hey, hey... don't suddenly tell me to go and fight the strongest boss in the universe... just thinking about it makes me feel a lot of pressure!" Xiao Tan's complaint was sincere.

In fact, Xiao Tan was very strong, but he was always a little behind those top-tier experts. This gap...lay in his lack of "fighting will." Because of his gentle and kind nature, he had some resistance to the act of "killing" itself... unlike those who could "enjoy fighting," Xiao Tan was very passive in this regard.

Therefore, although his potential and hard power fully qualified him to be among the top players in Thriller Paradise, because he did not subjectively pursue combat and becoming stronger, it was basically impossible for him to have the idea of "fighting the Fighting Demon one-on-one and trying to kill him."

"Heh... I'm just saying." Feng Bujue understood Xiao Tan very well, and he didn't want the latter to bear what he didn't want to bear, so he always spoke of the worst possibilities in a relaxed manner, building a psychological defense for his companions while preparing himself to take on the most severe challenges. "Don't worry, I will definitely succeed in obtaining the power and returning. Until then... you guys have to do your best."

"Hmph... we'll work hard even if you don't tell us to," Dian He Wang snorted.

"You lightly toss us a mountain of burdens, ha... that's certainly your usual way of doing things," Billy laughed.

Bill also made a (￣.￣) expression at the right time.

"Okay! I'll give it my all too!" Xiao Tan looked very inspired. As expected, he was still naive and easily persuaded...

"Since you've said that... I also promise to hold out until you return," Xu Huai Shang said solemnly. "I believe that with the strength of everyone... the Monster Kingdom... the last line of defense in this main universe, will definitely not fall today."

"Well... everyone's morale is good." At this time, only Zhuan Xie Zun didn't blend into the surging atmosphere. "Have you finished talking? Hurry up and defend! And you... hurry up and jump! Hundreds more people might have been lost up there in the time you've been talking!"

...

After Brother Zun poured a bucket of cold water, everyone dispersed.

Wang Tanzhi, Xu Huai Shang, the Billy brothers, and Dian He Wang and his party left the underground space and returned to the city walls to fight.

And Feng Bujue... after staring at the huge well opening that emitted a bluish-white light like an abyss for a moment, he opened his arms and did a dashing "leap of faith," jumping into the well...

The feeling of falling was very strange; the feeling of wind passing his cheeks, the feeling of gravity dragging his body, the feeling of water or other substances covering his body... none of it existed.

It was as if all sense of time and space... had disappeared in an instant.

At the same time, countless whispers, flashback-like images, and pure "emotions" and "thoughts"... irresistibly flooded into Jue Ge's sea of consciousness.

This feeling was like experiencing a pre-death panorama, but not his own... but the panoramas of countless others, and even non-human creatures.

Even just a few seconds of this experience was enough to drive people crazy.

But... Feng Bujue actually felt... great.

Perhaps it was because his soul was special, perhaps the system was protecting him from a mental breakdown, or perhaps... he was just a madman to begin with.

In this well, Feng Bujue actually felt like a fish in water, as if he was doing a pleasant bungee jump with his soul.

And just as he was gradually sinking into this pleasure and about to get lost, this strange physical sensation suddenly disappeared.

When he came back to his senses, he was standing in a huge space, with seemingly infinite boundaries around him, and an unknown substance similar to spiritual particles emitting a soft light in all directions.

"Hmm... interesting." Recovering his consciousness, Feng Bujue looked up at the top. Above him, it looked like an inverted abyss. "Which world is in the well, and which world is outside the well..."

Just as he was talking to himself, suddenly! A very penetrating male voice rang out...

"Where one is, where one dwells, what does it matter? Man, only needs to know where he is going, and that is enough..."

"May I ask..." Feng Bujue looked back at the sound and said, "... who is the newcomer?"

As his voice fell, the other party's figure appeared.

He saw a man, holding a long halberd, walking slowly; his appearance was tall and heroic, his long hair fluttering. In his black hair, a few strands of silver-white were mixed in at the temples, and under a fur cloak, he wore a pitch-black Wu Jin (black gold) battle armor.

"The bleak wind brushes, asking the way is cold, who will drink together, who dares to hold the pass? Yan Ji (swallow halberd) returns life, the person does not return!"

Jue Ge never expected that what would respond to him... would actually be a verse.

"Yan Gui Ren (Returning Swallow)?" Feng Bujue even more didn't expect that he would encounter a character who should belong to the "Pili" world here.

"Feng Bujue." Yan Gui Ren... also recognized Jue Ge. "I have been waiting here for a long time."

"Oh?" Jue Ge smiled. "You know me? And you knew I was coming?"

Yan Gui Ren didn't answer his question, just coldly continued: "If you have something to say..." As he said this, he swung the long halberd resting on his shoulder, instantly adopting a fighting stance, "...we'll talk after we fight."
