Ye Ling saw the "Emperor" immediately ask for their help and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you looking for us? And why should we help you?"
The "Emperor" was not surprised by Ye Ling's question and continued, "I know you are visitors from beyond the heavens, and I also know the whereabouts of Good and Evil."
Upon hearing the "Emperor" directly mention "Good and Evil," Ye Ling and Xin Mo became instantly attentive.
Could the beings of the True Realm also know of Good and Evil?
Although Ye Ling was shocked, he showed no outward reaction. He then asked the "Emperor," "What crisis is this country facing?"
The "Emperor" replied, "The Word Demon has descended upon this world, and It is madly devouring my people. My army is currently resisting the Word Demon with great difficulty at the border, but we are constantly retreating. Now, the Word Demon is about to break through the border defenses and invade my land."
"You two visitors from afar do not belong to this world and possess powers we cannot imagine. Only you can confront the Word Demon."
"As long as you complete the讨伐 (tǎofá - suppression/punishment), I promise to inform you of the whereabouts of Good and Evil."
Seeing the "Emperor's" promise, Ye Ling did not press further about Good and Evil. He agreed, "Alright, we can help you defeat the Word Demon. Where is the Word Demon now?"
The "Emperor" said, "It is in the East. You two warriors only need to travel continuously eastward until you reach the border of my kingdom, and you will see the Word Demon. My army will fully assist you two warriors."
After the "Emperor" finished speaking, the "General" stepped forward and bowed to Ye Ling and Xin Mo, "I will definitely provide full assistance to you two warriors."
After observing everything in the Hall of Words, Xin Mo asked Ye Ling, "My other self, do you think that 'Emperor' is trustworthy?"
Ye Ling replied, "I don't know. However, the fact that it could mention Good and Evil and know that we don't belong to the True Realm means it definitely knows some information."
"Whether it knows the whereabouts of Good and Evil or not, as long as we can get some information about the True Realm from it, it will be a great profit."
"As for that so-called Word Demon, even the army of this kingdom can resist it, so it shouldn't be a troublesome enemy and can be easily dealt with."
Xin Mo nodded slightly, "If we can find Good and Evil directly, then we don't need to risk going to the so-called True World. As long as we find Good and Evil... everything should become clear. Let's go for it!"
"En."
Ye Ling nodded and looked at the Emperor on the "dragon throne," saying, "We will go and defeat the Word Demon. Please wait patiently, Your Majesty."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Ling and Xin Mo soared into the air and flew out of the Hall of Words in front of everyone, causing a continuous stream of "wow" sounds from the surrounding characters. Even the General was so startled that he fell to the ground.
It was obvious that they had never witnessed such a scene of flying through the clouds.
After leaving the City of Words, Ye Ling and Xin Mo flew eastward and soon saw a "魔" (mó - demon) character standing between heaven and earth, being attacked by a large group of "soldiers."
However, the "arrows" and "stones" shot by the soldiers caused no damage to the Word Demon. Instead, when the Word Demon fell to the ground, it crushed a large number of them!
"That must be the Word Demon, right?"
Xin Mo looked at the Word Demon, which was at least a hundred meters tall, and laughed, "This guy looks huge, but it's not that strong... I can handle it alone."
Saying that, Xin Mo didn't wait for Ye Ling and directly charged at the Word Demon!
Bang!!!
A huge "bang" sound appeared between heaven and earth. The Word Demon was directly knocked off balance by Xin Mo and fell heavily to the ground.
Seeing Xin Mo descend like a god and take down the Word Demon with a single move, all the "soldiers" looked at Xin Mo with adoration and knelt down to worship him!
Xin Mo glanced at the text soldiers below and chuckled, "Being worshipped by a pile of text is an unprecedented experience."
"Xin Mo, don't be careless! That Word Demon is acting strange!"
Just as Xin Mo thought he had dealt with the Word Demon, Ye Ling suddenly spoke to remind him. Xin Mo immediately looked at the Word Demon and saw that the massive "魔" character was rapidly distorting and then transforming into a string of scarlet garbled code!
"That's!"
Upon seeing the garbled code that the "魔" character had transformed into, Ye Ling and Xin Mo were both shocked. They simultaneously recalled their past encounters with the Overseers, whose members often transformed into this same scarlet garbled code.
Especially the battle with the Seven Pillars at that time, Ye Ling still remembered it vividly!
The two were exactly the same!
Boom!!!
Suddenly, Ye Ling and Xin Mo heard a deafening roar in this world of words. Then, a giant hand formed from countless scarlet garbled codes emerged from the ground and suddenly grabbed towards Xin Mo!
Seeing this, Ye Ling immediately grabbed Xin Mo and used Absolute Divine Speed to dodge the attack of the garbled code giant hand!
Xin Mo narrowly escaped and looked at the garbled code giant hand appearing in the sky with lingering fear, saying, "So this world of words... still has materialized things? That thing looks like a virus and seems out of place in this world of words!"
Ye Ling frowned as he looked at the garbled code giant hand, "Something is wrong... This is the True Realm within the Book of Origin, but I've seen that garbled code on the Overseers from the Primordial Chaos... Is this the True Realm, or are we still in the void?"
"My other self, stop dwelling on it! It's attacking!"
Xin Mo shouted, and Ye Ling snapped back to reality, only to see the garbled code giant hand rapidly approaching him.
Wherever the garbled code giant hand touched, all the characters turned into garbled code... This looked extremely like a pre-programmed system infected by a virus, constantly producing bugs!
Seeing the garbled code giant hand approaching, Ye Ling, who was also in the form of a character, did not dare to resist and immediately dodged using Absolute Divine Speed!
The garbled code giant hand slammed onto the ground of words, and countless text soldiers instantly turned into garbled code. The once peaceful land of words now exuded madness at every moment!
And the endless garbled code was now spreading madly like a plague, rapidly heading towards the royal city of words!
"The Royal City!"
Seeing that the garbled code was about to devour the Royal City, Ye Ling couldn't care about anything else. He immediately condensed runes in this world of words and used the runes to construct a wall, blocking the Royal City!
Boom!!!
The garbled code crashed against the rune wall like a tsunami. However, the runes, unlike the characters of this True Realm, were not infected by the garbled code.
The Royal City of Words remained unharmed!
Seeing that the Royal City of Words was saved, Ye Ling breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said to Xin Mo, "Xin Mo, we might have misjudged some things. You go and ask the Emperor about Good and Evil. I will deal with the Word Demon."
Xin Mo asked, "Can you handle it alone?"
Ye Ling replied, "Don't worry, I have a trump card!"
Xin Mo gave Ye Ling a deep look, then said, "Alright! Hold on, and I'll come back to help you as soon as I get the information!"
Without further hesitation, Xin Mo passed through Ye Ling's rune wall and headed towards the imperial palace of the Royal City!
After Xin Mo left, Ye Ling faced the garbled code giant hand alone and took a deep breath.
"I knew it. My coming to this True Realm couldn't possibly be for a tour... Let me see what exactly you are?"
