Chapter 394: Chapter 350: Freeze at the Last Second!

Book of the Dark Seal——

Is this a treasure of the Death God?

I originally had two pages, and because of that, I gained 2 points of Eternal Soul Power.

The third page was the Death Lord’s stealth tool for cursing Audrey, sealed by the "Heavenly River Navy," and then left behind.

The fourth was the panda’s; it was sacrificed, and its page naturally fell into my possession.

A total of four pages.

Using the "Chapter of Death God" to unleash their power, I can become the Dark Demon King in descent.

——What if I obtain more pages?

Wu Xiaode found it increasingly interesting.

The Destruction Council gains "End" from the world’s destruction; the Ten Thousand Spirit Silence Association collects various "descents" to counter the Council.

What are their ultimate goals?

Unknown.

Wu Xiaode sighed, reeling in his thoughts, and looked at the Book of the Dead:

"Drink wine from the crystalline blood grape to gain 5 Soul Power points;"

"Obtain two more pages of the Book of the Dark Seal to gain two points of Eternal Soul Power."

"Your Soul Power is: 48/48."

——Just 2 points shy of another upgrade.

But it was already too late to do anything more.

11:45.

In fifteen minutes, Zhao Junyu’s luncheon will begin.

Let’s go back!

"Audrey, I have something to confess to you," Wu Xiaode said.

"What?"

"I am actually a living person."

"Oh, a living person, good——what, you’re a living person!!!!"

Wu Xiaode smiled faintly and said, "You’ve already accepted my title as ’Heavenly Ghost,’ you should know the secret of becoming a Bright Ghost."

"I know, but I never thought you were a living person, I’ve never heard of a living person awakening the Power of Death——wait a minute, there seems to be a legend like this—"

"What?"

"It’s said that once there was a Death God, who was also a living person, but that was in the very distant Past Epoch."

"Is that so? Seems that there is a precedent." Wu Xiaode smiled.

"What’s your plan now?" Audrey asked.

"I find the current Death World unsafe. That Ten Thousand Spirit Silence Association will definitely trouble you. Why not come with me to the world of the living?" Wu Xiaode proposed.

"Then I’ll rest in the Book of the Dead for a while, that indeed seems safer," Audrey agreed.

Wu Xiaode nodded, placed his hand on the Book of the Dead, and softly said:

"Trial completed, send me back."

As he spoke.

He renounced the title of Heavenly Ghost and vanished in a flash from the top of the snowy mountain.

...

Parallel world number 1666.

The scientific research institute.

Wu Xiaode appeared in the equipment room.

Xia Huilan wasn’t there.

A note was stuck to the glass door, with several lines of graceful handwriting:

"I went with Xia Ni to test equipment outdoors, there’s ham sausage in the drawer, instant noodles in the cabinet, Coke in the fridge, and little movies on the computer."

"——Xia Huilan."

Wu Xiaode stood motionlessly in place.

There’s really no need to replicate my hobbies and life to this extent, Sister Lan.

This distraction caused something that had just occurred to him to slip away, vanishing without a trace.

Wu Xiaode patted his head, frustratedly said:

"What was it just now? What have I forgotten?"

Just then, another line of text flashed on the Book of the Dead:

"Current time: 11:51."

The phone rang at the same moment.

Wu Xiaode had to set aside his thoughts for the time being and answered the call, "Hello?"

Zhao Junyu’s voice came through the receiver:

"I’ve sent a helicopter to pick you up, wait for it, don’t wander off again."

"Alright," Wu Xiaode responded.

The call ended.

With some time to spare, he promptly opened the Book of the Dead, turning to the page of the Shadow Followers.

"Audrey, with the power of the Book of the Dead, you can move around in the Life Realm anytime."

"Okay," Audrey said with a smile.

"Elder Xiao, I’m a bit pressed for time right now, let’s have this grand feast first, and then I’ll send you to the Ancient Era," Little Wu added.

Xiao Baihong said cheerfully, "Whatever you like; being a Bright Ghost is quite interesting. I just borrowed some Soul Power from Her Majesty the Queen, added a little luck to myself, and immediately learnt a new rare skill by chance."

"Lucky you," Wu Xiaode laughed.

11:55.

At that moment, the sound of a helicopter came from outside.

——Zhao Junyu’s plane had arrived.

Wu Xiaode suddenly felt somewhat hungry.

Naturally.

After such a long journey, he hadn’t really eaten anything.

Instant noodles?

No time for that.

Ham sausage?

Not in the mood.

How about a can of Coke.

He opened the fridge, took out a can of Coke, popped the lid and gulped it down.

His tense nerves gradually relaxed.

11:58:49.

Wu Xiaode glanced at the time.

It was about time.

Just as he was about to step out the door, that thought reemerged in his mind.

What had I forgotten just now?

There was something very important that I had forgotten.

What was it?

Wu Xiaode’s hand lingered on the door, hesitating to open it.

Thud.

A muffled sound.

Something leaped directly from the helicopter and landed on the ground.

Rustle... Rustle...

The sound of footsteps from ordinary humans arose.

Someone shouted, "Mr. Wu Xiaode, please come out; we’ll escort you away immediately."

11:59:25.

——There were dozens of doors in the hallway, and the other party didn’t know which one he was behind.

Wu Xiaode didn’t respond but instead pressed his hand firmly against the door, closed his eyes, and used all his strength to think about that matter.

Ah——

He remembered.

Qian Mingkui hadn’t returned.

Why hadn’t he returned to this world?

Because I forgot to pick him up. He must still be training with the vampire.

But——

He is the most fortunate one.

It’s because he hadn’t come back that I also temporarily gave up returning and instead went to the Death World to level up.

But at this moment, I am back.

He isn’t back.

He isn’t back!

Wu Xiaode’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, and his relaxed spirit instantly tensed again.

The voice outside became more urgent:

"Wu Xiaode, hurry up, we can’t wait too long."

Wu Xiaode didn’t respond.

The Book of the Dead floated in mid-air, rapidly flipping pages.

When it turned to the page of the Sighing Wall, the entire wall was filled with ominous Demon Mist.

11:59:59.

"Clock in," Wu Xiaode whispered.

Rows of ice crystal letters quietly appeared before his eyes:

"11:59:59;"

"11:59:59;"

"11:59:59;"

"11:59:59;"

"..."

Time had been frozen.

As for his own end——

The Book of the Dead quickly flipped to the page marked "End."

The prompt rune from the moment of his evolution still displayed on the page:

"You have chosen to elevate your existing end, ’Ordinary King,’ with Ci Le’s ’End’."

"...During this upgrade process, you cannot use ’End’."

"Furthermore, if caught by another entity possessing ’End,’ you are highly likely to lose your ’End’."

"..."

Next to the prompt rune, two Angels hugged each other, sleepy and barely opening their eyes, as if they were about to wake up.

They will awaken at 12 o’clock sharp and complete the entire evolution process.

However, time remained stuck at 11:59:59.

They could not awaken.

Wu Xiaode’s thoughts flashed like lightning, and he suddenly entered a combat state.

The Book of the Dead sensed his intention and immediately turned the page, speeding ahead until it reached the Chapter of the Death God.

Wu Xiaode, without saying a word, pressed his left hand against the door and placed his right hand on the Book of the Dead.

Summon——

Dark Demon King!

Bunches of Dark Intense Flames ignited from his body, swirling and gathering behind him to form the Demon King’s Ring.

Quiet Demon Mist was released, spreading around him.

11:59:59.

A cluster of dark flames quietly emerged on Wu Xiaode’s hand.

The next moment.

He burst forth with a surge of heaven-reaching dark flames that materialized into a dark armor around his body and a blazing halo-shaped flame crown behind him.

——Dark Demon King!

Row after row of small letters suddenly burst from the Book of the Dead, frenetically refreshing before Wu Xiaode’s eyes:

"You have lost your human identity, transformed into the Demon King descended upon this world!"

"The battle begins!"

"Immune!"

"Immune!"

"Immune!"

"Immune!"

"Immune!"

"The Dark Demon King is immune to all Magic below the Law."

Boom——

The entire world turned into a blinding white light, engulfing everything around.

Wu Xiaode stood amidst the seething light, flipping the Book of the Dead back to the previous page——

On this page, the two slumbering Angels were frozen in time.

Time was still 11:59:59.

Truly remarkable.

First, he immobilized time, then realizing he couldn’t find me, he immediately launched a wide-scale Magic assault to destroy everything here.

If I didn’t have the "Chapter of the Death God," I might have been forced out by the Magic’s assault by now.

——This style of battle is somewhat similar to my own.

So...

Who exactly is the enemy?

Wu Xiaode emitted billowing dark flames from his body, accompanied by swirling Demon Mist, as he looked up through the boundless destructive flames.

He saw the enemy.

——It was a blonde man floating mid-air.

"Oh? Not here?"

The blonde man muttered casually, raising his hands and stretching.

"Everything without ’End’ in their possession, or any being whose strength doesn’t reach the level of a Demon God, has been pinned at 11:59:59 by me."

He continued.

"—Yes, I am threatening you like this because I saw that interrogation. You’re indeed a tricky and unscrupulous fellow, which is somewhat like me."

"You don’t want this world to be destroyed, all the people you care about killed by me, right?"

"Hand over the ’End’ that’s evolving in your hands."

"——Wu Xiaode."
