Lin Xian witnesses a horrifying ritual within the High Tower Civilization where colossal crystalline beings devour each other, their faces expressing ecstatic pleasure. As he recoils in shock, a familiar woman named Chu Yan appears and calmly tells him to devour her.

Lin Xian looked at Chu Yan, whose entire body was smooth and clean in front of him. Countless complex emotions surged up at once. He had many questions, many worries. They had been comrades fighting side by side, partners with united minds. Yet now, as Lin Xian saw her again, the first words he heard were for Lin Xian to devour her.

Instinctively, he tried to interpret the meaning of "devour" from other perspectives, but Lin Xian’s nature quickly anchored on the most bizarre and literal outcome.

Even so, he still asked back

"What... did you say?"

"Trust me, it’s the quickest way." Chu Yan looked at Lin Xian with deep meaning, then her gaze swept over the sea and mountains of this bizarre planet: "If you don’t want to waste more time or end up being devoured by them like me, losing some sense completely."

Lin Xian squinted slightly, looking at the strange creatures undergoing devour in the valley below and that indescribable absurd scene, then said to Chu Yan

"I know this is a game, but I won’t devour you. I also don’t know why you appear in this game, but no matter what the cost, I will rescue you."

Chu Yan’s expression dimmed, her eyes avoided Lin Xian’s, and after a long pause, she whispered, "Why?"

"What other reason could there be?" Lin Xian smiled indifferently and said seriously, "Because of revolutionary friendship, because our minds are united, because we are comrades, and we even fought together without wearing pants!"

Chu Yan suddenly smiled at his words. She looked up quietly at Lin Xian for a while. In her gaze, Lin Xian had never seen such feminine tenderness from this ace of the North American United Front, and he felt a bit astonished.

"Let’s go!"

At this moment, Chu Yan suddenly pulled Lin Xian along. The two silently traversed through the grassy thickets of strange vegetation, crossing hills and forests to reach the slope of a mountain on the coastline. Then they hid behind several large flowers with bright and beautiful petals.

"Look."

Chu Yan pulled Lin Xian’s wrist, her fingertips cold yet carrying an undeniable force, guiding his gaze to the vast blue in the distance. Lin Xian looked, only to see the surging ocean under the strange sky light, displaying a magnificent deep blue, waves rolling, raising countless snowy foam, seemingly harboring endless vitality and mystery.

However, the next moment, an overwhelming metamorphosis arrived without warning. When the giant indescribable cosmic entity slowly descended from the sky and at the moment its enormous shadow touched the sea, the whole vast ocean twisted abruptly! The magnificent blue faded and dissolved at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if an invisible giant hand instantaneously extracted all color and liquid nature, replaced by an endless, creepy snow-white flesh!

It was no longer the ocean, but a gigantic face stretching thousands of miles beyond imagination! It surfaced silently where the sea once was, with skin smooth as fat yet chillingly lifeless, the facial contours vague and abstract, carrying a non-human indifference.

At its edges, countless arm-like columns or twisted limbs broke through the "face" like sky-piercing pillars, thrusting towards the Sky Dome. They stirred the space, each swing inciting intense shaking and roaring of the land beneath.

Amid this earth-shaking scene, that abyss-like gigantic mouth, occupying the central position of the "face," opened silently, yet with a terrifying gravitational pull to devour everything, abruptly to its limit! Before that gigantic mouth, the enormous cosmic entity in the sky appeared small and fragile, like a bird falling into a bottomless abyss, without earth-shattering collision sounds, without dying wails, only the devour of flesh colliding, as the cosmic entity in the sky was engulfed by the snow-white "sea surface" giant mouth in an instant, disappearing without a trace!

The moment the devouring completed, that sprawling gigantic flesh-like human face seemed to gain some ineffable nourishment, its contours became clearer and more "perfect," a cold yet powerful surge of sacred life radiating explosively from every inch of its skin and each extending gigantic arm pillar! The luminescence was so pure it was dazzling, yet carried a nauseating evil from the abyss, instantly staining the entire coast, mountains, even the sky with a terrifying divine aura.

Lin Xian’s heart felt gripped fiercely by an invisible giant hand, witnessing this grandeur and terror beyond cognitive limits, his pupils contracted violently from extreme astonishment, inadvertently blurting out

"What the heck is happening?"

Chu Yan gazed at Lin Xian, her eyes shifting slowly like a deep pool, flowing with unspeakable complexity. She stretched out her arms, holding him tightly, that embrace carrying warm breaths brushing Lin Xian’s ear, her voice hoarse yet clear: "Do you want to know?"

Before Lin Xian could react, Chu Yan’s arms with gentle firmness had already pushed him gently down, and the two fell into the center of the large and strange floral petals behind them, the soft stamens supporting them like a natural bed. The enormous petals folded instantly, gently enclosing them inside, isolating the bizarre and fantastical world outside, forming a safe and private space.

Lin Xian only felt his consciousness thrown into a swirling cosmic stream, the sky spinning, his thoughts thoroughly shattered, Chu Yan’s warm body pressing close to him, yet no longer feeling like flesh and blood, but transforming into a torrential flood of information, directly, assertively breaking through the defenses of his consciousness, pouring in boomingly!
