Xia Weiyi, hanging on the wall, kept laughing maniacally.
A faint scarlet power flowed within his body, alleviating the pain in his limbs that had been pierced by the black lightsaber.
Even if he died at Wen Wen's hands immediately, as long as that deity could successfully descend and fulfill its promise, Xia Weiyi would die without regret.
"Heh, heh heh..."
"Didn't you ask what my plan was? This is my plan. I want to let the deity descend, let it... Mmmph mmmph mmmph, what are you doing?"
Wen Wen shoved a worn-out pair of underwear into Xia Weiyi's mouth.
Don't ask Wen Wen where he got the old underwear. Although he didn't wear them, he still had channels to acquire some. This item was the best for stuffing into someone's mouth.
"I know you have a strong urge to vent right now, but I'm not in the mood to chat with you. I'll take good care of you later."
Then, Wen Wen looked at the blood-colored pillar of light and lightly scratched his hair. Were all evil gods this kind now, rushing to send him energy?
No matter how much preparation was done for the descent of an evil god, the descent itself would not be too fast. That time would be enough for Wen Wen to drain all the energy from the Book of Loveless.
The Book of Loveless emanated tangible blood-colored power. Just getting close brought immense damage, but it posed no threat to Wen Wen.
Wen Wen manifested the Disaster Containment Facility Gauntlet on his right hand and slowly approached the Book of Loveless. The blood-colored power and the gauntlet collided, displaying several scarlet lightning bolts. These lightning bolts writhed like giant snakes, and anything struck by them instantly turned into fine powder.
Upon reaching within ten meters of the Book of Loveless, Wen Wen stopped.
For now, he didn't feel any threat, but his heart inexplicably sped up. Out of caution, Wen Wen did not advance rashly.
"Why is my heart beating faster? Could it be because..."
Wen Wen looked up at the rift at the end of the blood-colored pillar of light, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity. After a moment of thought, Wen Wen suddenly realized.
"Isn't this the disaster-level event from the Furong River Paradise back then?"
"This is fate, wonderfully profound."
Wen Wen grinned, revealing an undisguised smile. If Xia Weiyi wasn't right behind him, he would have probably burst out laughing.
He finally understood why his heart was beating faster. It was because, back in Furong River City, the power of this disaster-level entity had integrated into his heart.
Now, encountering this disaster-level entity again naturally caused a reaction.
If an ordinary person were to rashly integrate disaster-level power, they would undoubtedly be affected by the disaster-level entity and turn into an indescribable monster.
However, the heart-shaped power at that time was given to Wen Wen by the containment facility, and its hidden dangers had long been purified, posing no threat.
Now, Wen Wen's heart beating faster indicated that it craved this blood-colored energy. As long as he absorbed the energy from the descent of this unknown disaster-level entity, his heart would be further strengthened.
That blood-colored heart, while seemingly insignificant, was Wen Wen's most important foundation besides the containment facility.
The reason for Wen Wen's rapid progress in swordsmanship, the effectiveness of the runes he etched, and even the unexpectedly acquired Book of Lightning, all stemmed from the blood-colored heart's reinforcement of Wen Wen himself.
The original Wen Wen was merely an ordinary person with slightly higher sensitivity.
Even with ten or twenty years of training, he might only manage to gain a basic understanding in swordsmanship or runes, and that would already be considered top-tier talent for an ordinary person.
But with the blood-colored heart, Wen Wen rapidly gained proficiency and made astonishing progress in the path of runes, his most powerful killing technique, swordsmanship, and even the Book of Lightning he acquired by chance.
Therefore, with an opportunity to strengthen that blood-colored heart, Wen Wen would absolutely not let it pass.
Thus, he quickened his pace. The energy obstructing Wen Wen's advance was all absorbed by the Disaster Containment Facility Gauntlet, which also caused the speed of the evil god's descent to suddenly slow down.
...
Beyond the rift, on a vast expanse of white, desolate land, a pale white giant, over two hundred meters tall, anxiously watched the rift, which was only the size of its fingernail.
This giant was the master of the Pale Forest, a learned rune master, and the protector of the white-skinned species on the planet.
Its name was...
As long as it displayed divine power and promised to fulfill Xia Weiyi's request, it would go all out to allow Loveless to descend.
As for whether Loveless would actually fulfill Xia Weiyi's request after its descent, that was a trivial matter.
Were the empty promises of deities truly empty promises?
If they were not realized, it was merely because you were not devout enough.
