"Tian Ruichi, you're going to die! That thing is far more terrifying than you imagine! You don't even have the right to look at it!"

Fang Yue practically roared those words. He could feel the demon corpse was still relentlessly pursuing them. He could only accelerate, accelerate, and accelerate again, using [Strange Ring] to simulate a turbojet, frantically propelling the Cold River Giant Ship.

The speed, exceeding the norm, made the Cold River Giant Ship almost a high-speed speedboat at this moment.

The waves splashing high in front of the bow were a good three to five meters high, fierce and short, showing how fast they were going.

Even so, the threat of death still weighed heavily on his mind.

On the entire Cold River Giant Ship, only Fang Yue and Helmsman Lao actually knew how serious things were.

The others were just scared by their reactions and didn't realize that the scythe of death was already on everyone's necks!

Tian Ruichi was a little dazed by the roar. He hesitated for two seconds, then slowly nodded, indicating that he understood the situation, and stayed in place, awaiting orders.

But Helmsman Lao didn't think so.

"Tian Ruichi, pull me into the Soul-Hosting Jade Pendant! It's too late! That thing is still accelerating; the previous speed wasn't its limit. We can't escape; no one can escape. The only one who can survive is me. Only if I enter the Soul-Hosting Jade Pendant can I survive and become the only survivor. Then I'll have Tianjian avenge you. Go in peace!"

As Helmsman Lao said these words, the ship's speed actually began to decrease!

This scared Fang Yue out of his mind. His expression hardened, and he directly condensed black silk into a knife, placing it directly on Helmsman Lao's helm.

"Don't stop! Accelerate! I have a way for all of us to escape!"

"It's useless…"

"One more word, and I'll destroy the Soul-Hosting Jade Pendant! Accelerate!!"

"…"

Helmsman Lao glared at Fang Yue hatefully, gritted his teeth, and the ship's speed soared again.

"Parchment! What's the premonition? How far away is that thing from us?"

[My name is Fang Yue, and I am once again borrowing the ancient words of the great and noble Parchment Lord.]

[Under the amplification of the Rain-level power of ancient words, my power has been enhanced, and the power propelling the Cold River Giant Ship has once again erupted.]

[Shaken it off! The power of the frantic propulsion is carrying the Cold River Giant Ship forward, frantically rushing forward, leaving the demon corpse far behind.]

[We are temporarily safe.]

[Everyone is cheering with joy after surviving the disaster, but only my heart rate is gradually slowing down, and my bodily functions are gradually weakening.]

[My heart is once again beginning to become a strange object.]

[Unlike last time, after the great and noble Parchment Lord devoured the Exquisite Eight-Symbol Jade Flute, the Rain-level power that the Parchment Lord can borrow has also been amplified. Correspondingly, the price paid has also become stronger.]

[The heart is completely being parchment-ified.]

[Reduced blood supply throughout the body, weakened breathing, organ failure…]

[I lay on the deck, staring wide-eyed at the sky, my breathing gradually weakening.]

[I am dead.]

[Although I escaped the pursuit of the demon corpse, I died from overusing my power. Is it worth it or not? It's thought-provoking.]

What Fang Yue had just thought of was indeed using the ancient word power of the parchment to help him escape.

But he didn't expect that using this part of the power would lead to death from subsequent backlash, even after escaping the danger of the demon corpse.

"Night Dawn, it's getting closer, closer and closer! Use any means you have quickly, or we're all doomed!"

Helmsman Lao urged him in his ear. The others had already gone down to the cabin to act as a power source, manually sliding the oars to contribute some strength, but it was just a drop in the bucket.

"Could it be… do we really have to abandon the ship?"

Fang Yue's expression was unsightly. If he had to choose between sacrificing himself and sacrificing others, although it was very difficult, all Fang Yue could do was protect himself.

No!

Things shouldn't have reached the point where only these two extreme options were left!

"Parchment, more premonitions! I want premonitions!"

The closer to death, the more detailed the premonition information would be.

This was a characteristic of the parchment's premonitions.

Fang Yue thought of idea after idea, letting the parchment make premonitions again and again, to find a way for everyone to survive. But what Fang Yue didn't expect was that at this time, the parchment actually slammed a large amount of premonition information into Fang Yue's mind all at once.

Fang Yue's mind seemed to explode with a bang. In a dark void, dozens of premonition image screens simultaneously revolved around him.

Each premonition image represented a branch choice and the final premonition result.

As time passed second by second, the number of premonition images rapidly disappeared and decreased, like bubbles bursting.

There were fewer and fewer divergent routes to choose from, and Fang Yue didn't have much time left.

When all the results led to a black screen, it meant there was no way out!

Fang Yue quickly browsed these images and soon his eyes stopped on one image. He widened his eyes, but his heart was filled with shock.

In that image… Fang Yue sat cross-legged on the ground for a while, then suddenly got up and left the Cold River Giant Ship alone.

And the huge shadow represented by that demon corpse actually changed its course and chased after him!

The image wasn't anything special up to this point. After all, acting as bait to lure away the demon corpse was no different from using the parchment's power beyond its limit before, which both resulted in death.

But in this image, he didn't die.

Because…

He not only stepped on the river surface and moved quickly, but also froze the river surface, completely shaking off the demon corpse!

When Fang Yue finished watching this image.

His mind buzzed, and he completely withdrew from that mysterious state.

[Did you find a chance for survival? I've given you the premonition results as quickly as possible. If you still can't find it, then it means you're really going to be buried here!]

"Don't worry, I've already found a way for everyone to survive!"

As he said that, Fang Yue actually sat down on the spot, motionless as if meditating.

While maintaining the 'turbojet' as an aid to propel the Cold River Giant Ship, Fang Yue began to cultivate.

That's right, cultivate.

In that image, what Fang Yue saw first was himself meditating and cultivating.

Then he suddenly left the Cold River Giant Ship, and that meditation should be to cultivate something.

As for what to cultivate… naturally, it could only be, Lord Han's inheritance!

Fang Yue had only learned the Ice Condensation Heart Method from Lord Han's inheritance. And now, he had to learn the other two core martial arts in just a dozen seconds!

This was almost impossible for the previous Fang Yue.

But now… there seemed to be a glimmer of hope?

After all, the minimum requirement for Lord Han's inheritance was only the Human-level Initial Stage, and with Fang Yue's current super-high comprehension of 75 points, it wasn't impossible to learn it in a short time.

So, Fang Yue calmed down and tried.

And in the next second, he realized something.

That was that he had underestimated Lord Han's inheritance. It wasn't something that could be learned in a few seconds! There was no way to learn it in such a short time!

Then, what was he sitting on the ground for in the image?

Wait, could it be…

"Parchment, take me into the [Fate Board]!"
