# Chapter 6: Old Acquaintance

The matter of heading to the Watcher's Tower was settled, and naturally, the next topic was how to get there. Just then, a light cough came.

"It seems there's a new plan."

Kaiser had appeared at some point, already seated at the round table, as sudden as always. Before he spoke, no one had sensed his arrival at all.

As for Kaiser's sudden appearance, Su Xiao, Zuiyasi, and Wude were all accustomed to it. Or rather, no matter what outrageous thing Kaiser did, the three of them wouldn't be surprised, because the upper limit for such things had been raised to a very high level long ago, back when Kaiser put the Abyssal Jar on his head.

After telling Kaiser about the plan to go to the Watcher's Tower, this guy just smirked slyly, seemingly not very interested. But when it was mentioned that there were at least a thousand Soul Crystals there, Kaiser became resolute.

Kaiser's principle was that even a mosquito leg is meat. As long as there were benefits to be gained, he would devote absolute enthusiasm and focus to it.

After settling the details, the four set off, heading straight for the innermost district of the lower city. They wound through dark, damp narrow alleys, passed through an area with bizarre neon lights, before finally reaching Yousha's territory.

Calling it Yousha's territory was actually limited to this narrow alley and a two-story building. The real power in the lower city was a force called the Scavengers. The reason for this force's existence had to do with the structure of Sanctuary City. Here, the lower city was for commoners, the middle city was the Lightless Temple, and the upper city belonged to the Eternal Dark Lord.

Because of this division, when the Lightless Temple of the middle city managed the commoners of the lower city, many conflicts erupted between the two sides. The Scavengers emerged as a result. They obeyed the Lightless Temple to a certain extent and managed the residents of the lower city in the form of gangs.

What the Scavengers did was basically shady business: flesh trade, low-efficiency hallucinogens, shop protection fees, and so on. Of course, they also provided high-efficiency hallucinogens and other pleasure services to the nobles of the middle city.

The so-called nobles of the middle city were actually relatives of Lightless Temple members. Once someone passed the assessment and became a Lightless Temple member, all their direct relatives would become nobles of Sanctuary City.

Stopping before a heavy wooden door, Su Xiao knocked. With a scraping sound, a small opening in the middle of the door slid open. Seeing this, he poured in a bag of berries given by Suoensi. In the Eternal Light World, food was precious.

One problem was that although Su Xiao had plenty of Xia's cooked delicacies and compressed food in his storage space, these items were basically useless in this world and couldn't be taken out of the storage space.

This was because the Eternal Light World was a world with incomplete basic rules. Only extreme elemental power remained here, with no Abyss energy as balance. From another perspective, such things simply couldn't exist in this world, unless they had been certified by Reincarnation Paradise.

Just thinking about it was impossible. They were only food, after all. Why would anyone spend Space-Time Power to certify them? Moreover, even when he went to Dead Silence City before, this problem hadn't occurred.

The good news was that at a low rank, Su Xiao had exchanged a large bag of grain in Reincarnation Paradise, about 150 kilograms, to deal with emergencies. Although he hadn't spent many Paradise Coins on these items back then, they came with built-in certification. Therefore, these 150 kilograms of grain had considerable value in this world.

As for keeping this grain for his own consumption, that wasn't necessary. If Su Xiao was really hungry, he could take out a bottle of Recovery Potion and drink it, absorbing the pure life energy within as energy needed by his body. But he couldn't do this often, as it would cause problems. Plus, it lacked the satisfying feeling of eating real food.

After Su Xiao poured the small bag of berries into the hole in the door, the wooden door opened just a crack, revealing only Yousha's one eye, which looked like it had smoky eye makeup. She lowered her voice and said, "You shouldn't bring strangers. Let me see how many of you there are."

Through the door crack, looking at Su Xiao, Wude, Zuiyasi, and Kaiser standing together, Yousha felt her scalp tingle and her feet go weak. The sense of danger at this moment had exceeded the scope of "these guys don't look like good people."

A small bag of berries was thrown out through the door crack, caught one-handed by Su Xiao. Then Yousha was about to close the door. This couldn't be blamed on Yousha; she had naturally keen perception. Encountering the four "good teammates," she truly felt creeped out.

Just as the door was about to close, a hand grabbed the door edge. It was Zuiyasi. Yousha inside the door bristled and warned, "Let go."

"We're actually not bad people..."

Bang!

A crossbow bolt embedded itself in the wooden door, less than 5 centimeters from Zuiyasi's head. At such close range, it naturally wasn't a miss, but a warning for Zuiyasi to let go quickly. It could be said that among the good teammates, Zuiyasi had the best temper.

"Your archery isn't good. You need to aim first..."

With a snap, another crossbow bolt pierced the clothing at Zuiyasi's shoulder. Another warning. Seeing this, Zuiyasi revealed a smile: "You need to aim first, and aim to shoot here..."

Zuiyasi pointed to his own brow. His calm tone and the smile on his face put tremendous psychological pressure on the crossbow-wielding youth behind the door, causing him to accidentally trigger the crossbow.

Pfft.

A crossbow bolt embedded itself in Zuiyasi's brow, causing him to reveal a relieved smile like an old father. As for the situation behind the door, it was already in chaos, with even shouts of "I'm sorry" being heard.

A moment later, Su Xiao, Wude, Zuiyasi, and Kaiser stood on the teleportation array in the secret room. Su Xiao took out a bag of grain, about 2 kilograms, as the teleportation fee.

Su Xiao activated the teleportation array. This array was indeed special. Although it felt soft and weak, it had exceptional penetrative power. He planned to use this teleportation array when leaving Sanctuary City in the future. The reason was that after experiencing it a few times and recording the array's spell formula, he intended to add this penetrative property to the Law-Destroying Teleportation Array.

This way, the Law-Destroying Teleportation Array would have both power and penetrative ability. In popular terms, it would be like critical hit plus armor penetration, very powerful.

Yousha, holding the bag of grain with both hands, looked with complex eyes at the now-empty teleportation array. She clearly judged that these four were definitely not good people. But what these four gave was simply too much. If she sold this grain in Black Iron City and exchanged it for synthetic food, it would be enough to feed her younger siblings for at least a month.

...

In the dark, deep underground passage, Zuiyasi walked at the front, with Bubu Wang and Baha in the middle, and Su Xiao, Amu, and Wude bringing up the rear.

The reason for coming here was Zuiyasi's idea. The force he belonged to had been searching for the Monarch's Treasure. After discovering it was in the Eternal Light World, they naturally thought of many ways to come here. Entering the Eternal Light World wasn't difficult, but leaving was harder than ascending to heaven. Therefore, before entering, they had to obtain the Void Tree's spatial round-trip certification.

The force in this world that Zuiyasi mentioned was naturally not Sanctuary City, but a force deep underground called Black Iron City.

Speaking of Black Iron City, one must first mention one of the major forces in this world, the Pain God Cult. This was a very old force. The principle of this force was believing that pain could activate potential. To put it plainly, they used external environments to stimulate their own adaptability, thereby producing corresponding evolution. Therefore, although this was a religious sect, it didn't worship any deity.

The original Pain God Cult members, without any protection, directly walked out of the shadows, exposed themselves to the eternal daylight, and endured the scorching pain of the eternal daylight, hoping to gradually develop daylight resistance through firm willpower and strong external stimulation.

The result was that these Pain God Cult members succeeded and became ascetics, walking on the barren land. Unfortunately, this achievement didn't last long. Some of the pain practitioners began to have their bodies harden, or rather metallize, eventually dying from the erosion of metallization.

The pain practitioners generally had high willpower. While traveling through the wilderness, they discovered a ruin, a relic from the previous era. When this world was still a Transcendent Primordial World, a mechanical civilization had left this ruin. This opportunity caused the Pain God Cult to change.

The pain practitioners forged parts of their bodies with metal, replacing the metallized, dead parts of their bodies with these forged metal parts. In the end, they even replaced their hearts and other organs with mechanical ones. The more extreme ones even replaced parts of their brains with machinery.

The Pain God Cult gradually perished, and Black Iron City rose. The former pain practitioners began calling themselves evolutionists, showing a trend of "flesh is weak, machinery ascends."

Now, Black Iron City had become a force that even Sanctuary City wouldn't actively provoke. The reason was that within Black Iron City, there was a world-destroying existence as powerful as the Eternal Dark Lord and the Archbishop of the Abyss, called the Machine Maker.

In fact, not all world-destroying existences held extreme malice toward living beings. The Machine Maker was a special exception. It had no direct malice toward living beings. The reason it was imprisoned in the Eternal Light World had to do with one incident.

The Machine Maker, with the battle machines it created, was invincible in its own world. But because it disliked going out, it didn't know much about the outside world. Then an Absolute Strength Law Destroyer went to that world to deal with an Abyss Hole. The two sides had a conflict due to a misunderstanding. The Machine Maker beat up that Law Destroyer and even said, "Disappear from my sight. I'm waiting for you to retaliate anytime. Remember to bring your friends."

The next morning, when the Machine Maker opened its eyes, it found several men and women with "kind" expressions surrounding its mechanical bed slot, looking at it with eyes full of "goodwill."

Then several Supreme Peak Law Destroyers brought the Machine Maker to the Eternal Light World. They didn't lay a hand on it but demanded that the Machine Maker build all the Watcher's Towers. After that, the matter would be settled.

Later, the Machine Maker felt this place wasn't bad, so it temporarily didn't leave. There was both the Law Destruction Faction's library and various rare materials that couldn't be found outside. It was simply a creator's paradise.

By the time the Machine Maker came back to its senses from its creations, many years had passed. Then it received bad news: the Law Destruction Faction had perished, the Moon Wolves had all died, and the Eternal Light Watchers had disappeared without a trace. A very serious problem emerged: the Machine Maker couldn't get out.

Now, the one backing Black Iron City was the Machine Maker. Although there was only one of them here, it truly cared about Black Iron City. In contrast, the Lightless Temple had four giants, but these four more or less used the Lightless Temple as a tool. Therefore, the Lightless Temple wouldn't easily provoke Black Iron City.

Walking through the dark underground passage, when they reached the deepest part, everyone found this was an old, worn-out platform. Zuiyasi threw a special coin into the platform. After a series of clattering gear sounds, everything fell silent. About a few minutes later, the rumbling sound of a train came from the tunnel.

With steam erupting, a single-carriage train stopped. The train's head looked like a living creature made of metal, with tough, sinewy structures spreading to the rear carriage.

The carriage door opened. After everyone boarded the train, Zuiyasi turned the dial at the coin slot, selecting Platform 15. Then the number wheel on the coin machine clicked and turned, finally stopping at 50, meaning that to reach the destination, 50 Black Iron Coins were needed.

After Zuiyasi inserted 50 Black Iron Coins, the Feral Beast Train's doors closed, and it started moving. Its speed continuously increased, finally stabilizing at several times the speed of sound. Aside from everything else, in terms of safety, this Feral Beast Train was quite good. If traveling on the surface, even if one could ignore the eternal daylight, they might encounter powerful wild monsters.

Conversely, this underground tunnel maintained by Black Iron City didn't have to worry too much about this problem. It wasn't that there were no accidents, but they were relatively rare. At the very least, it was over a hundred times safer than traveling on the surface.

Being able to enjoy this treatment for just 50 Black Iron Coins showed the value of Black Iron Coins. To obtain this currency, one could go to Black Iron City and exchange materials. They accepted all kinds of materials there.

Su Xiao took out the map given by Suoensi. Earlier, he had wondered why there were dozens of beast head symbols on this map.

Now it seemed that this was the accumulated achievement of Black Iron City over hundreds of years. These locations with beast head symbols were all train platforms. As long as one found the underground passage here, they would be very close to the train platform.

However, these Feral Beast Trains at most reached near ultra-dangerous areas like Wet Salt Zone, Corrosion Rain Land, and Desolate Desert. No train platform dared to venture into these areas.

The Feral Beast Train had no windows. One could only hear the friction between the air and the carriage's outer wall. Su Xiao closed his eyes to meditate, but the next second, he exited the meditation state. Even though they were several hundred meters underground, upon entering the meditation state, he could still feel the imbalanced elemental power of this world.

An hour later, when the Feral Beast Train stopped and the door opened, a damp, cold feeling mixed with the air rushed in. Su Xiao had Amu stay in the train. The reason was to let the train return to the main station on its own, that is, back to Black Iron City.

Amu was responsible for going to Black Iron City this time, using some materials from the team's storage space to exchange for Black Iron Coins, then taking the Feral Beast Train back. Although Amu usually seemed a bit simple, when acting alone, it wasn't simple at all. Its ability as a lone battle cow was no decoration.

Not to mention, for safety, Su Xiao also summoned the Irritable Little Spirit Diagu to accompany Amu.

For some reason, when cooperating with others, the Irritable Little Spirit Diagu would constantly spew profanity. Even when facing Su Xiao, it was unruly and disobedient. But only when acting with Amu did the Irritable Little Spirit Diagu never spew profanity, instead speaking in a normal tone. It seemed that when facing the honest, slow-speaking cow, the Irritable Little Spirit Diagu didn't have the habit of bullying the weak.

"Leave it to me, old man. Let me say in advance, I'll work for you for one entire world progress. Even if there's life-threatening danger during that time, I'll bear it. But afterward, you have to pay me 15... no, 10 ounces of Space-Time Power!"

The Irritable Little Spirit Diagu demanded a high price fiercely, showing how precious Space-Time Power was in the Elf Kingdom. It was something that could maintain their World Tree. Although the Irritable Little Spirit Diagu looked like a rebellious youth, when it earned Space-Time Power, it would quietly go to the Elf Kingdom's World Tree and use it to nourish the tree.

"After this world ends, I'll pay you 200 ounces."

"Re... really?!"

The Irritable Little Spirit Diagu's eyes widened, its voice cracking.

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak and walked toward the train exit.

"Boss, take care! Boss, be careful not to trip! Boss, you must be careful of this world's monsters! Boss, please don't die..."

Amid the Irritable Little Spirit Diagu's blessings, the train door slammed shut. Before the door closed, the Irritable Little Spirit Diagu sensed one thing: when they met again, his boss would beat him up.

Inside the station, Zuiyasi watched the departing train and laughed: "Bai Ye, your summon really knows how to talk."

"..."

Su Xiao walked toward the underground passage. This underground passage was different from the previous one. It was entirely made of iron-black metal structure, and not far apart, there were drainage grilles.

The higher they went, the damper the air became. In the end, when Su Xiao swiped his finger through the air, a string of water droplets appeared in the air. When he reached the exit of the underground passage, it was raining heavily outside.

The sky was covered with dark clouds. The falling rain showed a faint fluorescent purple color. A fresh, sweet, fishy smell spread. If one accidentally inhaled it, they would immediately become dizzy and collapse in the rain. Su Xiao took out a piece of metal ore from his storage space and threw it into the rain.

Sizzle!

The metal ore was instantly vaporized by the poisonous rain. Seeing this, Zuiyasi extended his right arm into the rain. With the sound of erosion, his clothes became tattered, his skin and flesh continuously fell off, until only the arm skeleton remained.

Zuiyasi moved his right hand, now just bones, and said, "The erosion power is very strong, but you two should have ways to avoid it."

"Mm."

"Yes."

Both Su Xiao and Wude were unafraid of this level of poisonous rain erosion. As for Bubu Wang and Baha behind Su Xiao, they hid in an alternate space. Baha transformed the exit of the alternate space into a black spatial sphere, about the size of an apple, floating behind Su Xiao.

This was a new ability Baha had developed: creating a movable alternate space. But an exit had to be left, otherwise one would get lost in the spatial mist. Also, this exit, the spatial sphere, had to attach to a friendly target.

This ability was very practical. For example, when encountering ultra-extreme cold areas, areas reaching absolute zero, Su Xiao, Bubu Wang, Baha, and Beini could enter this alternate space, attach the spatial sphere to Amu, and Amu would travel through the absolute zero environment. It was unafraid of such extreme cold.

Baha named this ability Space House, because that alternate space was fixed. Baha had separately peeled it off, usually compressing it to the limit, turning it into a black-blue feather on its body. Inside this Space House, there were sofas, beds, and such, about 30 square meters in size. It was simply a movable rest area.

Especially when exploring dangerous areas, having such a rest house allowed for better rest, minimizing the desperate situation caused by physical exhaustion as much as possible.

Su Xiao released his blood energy. A miraculous scene appeared. The falling poisonous rain seemed to be evaporated by blood flames. Before it could land on him, it was evaporated into purple mist that drifted away. His abilities had never been flashy, but were purely powerful.

Wude also walked into the poisonous rain. Strangely, although he did nothing, he wasn't eroded by the poisonous rain. But on closer inspection, one would find that Wude seemed like a drawing, composed of countless lines, and these lines were flickering subtly.

This was entering one dimension. The poisonous rain fell in three-dimensional space, so naturally it couldn't erode Wude, who had downgraded to one dimension. He was now just lines of one dimension, having only length, no width or height.

Zuiyasi also walked into the poisonous rain. He snapped his fingers with a pop. Before the poisonous rain fell on him, it would slow down greatly, then reverse upward. Time systems became more troublesome at later stages, not to mention that Zuiyasi was an Ancient God System who had defeated many ninth-rank ancient gods and absorbed their origin power, not far from Absolute Strength.

Don't think that Zuiyasi returning to Doom Star was just to accompany his wife and children. This guy was the purifier of his sect. His daily routine was fighting with ancient gods of the same rank, eliminating dissidents for the one behind him.

Especially long ago, when Zuiyasi reached the eighth rank, his faction became more active, and his work became busier. Sometimes he had to rush from one place to another. He had just eliminated an ancient god hostile to his faction, then had to go find another. Doom Star was the lair of ancient gods, with many of them. Thus, Zuiyasi had been busy from the eighth rank until now.

As for Wude, his advancement speed was much slower. He was still a long way from Absolute Strength. But Wude had always focused on bizarre abilities. If one wasn't careful, this guy would two-dimensionalize them. This method was truly hard to deal with.

In the poisonous rain, as Zuiyasi moved forward, the poisonous raindrops around him all reversed upward. This scoundrel slightly raised his head to look at the sky, showing a smug expression of a time system being invincible at later stages.

All three looked at Kaiser. At some point, the Abyssal Jar, which originally fit perfectly over Kaiser's entire head, had become much larger. Kaiser crouched, covering himself with the Abyssal Jar, only his two feet and a section of his calves exposed, taking small, rapid steps forward in the poisonous rain.

Looked ridiculous? If one paid close attention, they would notice that Kaiser was barefoot, stepping in the poisonous rain puddles. But his feet were completely fine, without even a sign of erosion.

There was no eternal daylight here. The sky was pitch black. The falling fluorescent purple rain made the distant scenery very blurry. Looking into the distance, Su Xiao vaguely saw a towering tower shadow in the distance. Although only the shadow was visible, that tower reaching into the sky must be a very magnificent structure.

This poisonous rain not only killed on contact but also completely blocked perception. Or rather, one simply couldn't release perception, otherwise the released perception would be contaminated by the poisonous rain, causing the poison to erode back to the main body along the perception.

The four traveled through the poisonous rain. About a few minutes later, rustling sounds came. Su Xiao looked toward the sound and saw a creature over six meters long, resembling a canine, appear ahead.

This creature's skin was oily and shiny, able to avoid erosion by the poisonous rain. Its head, toward the mouth and nose area, became sharper. On both sides of its long, pointed reverse nose, there were half-meter-long tentacles.

These dozen or so tentacles were moving with the creature's sniffing nose, probing in the air. It seemed to be finding prey by smell, but it was actually using the tentacles on both sides of its reverse nose to capture surrounding movements. This creature was called the Aberrant Demon Beast Nelse. Although it was just a wild monster in Corrosion Rain Land, it had quite a background.

Or rather, any monster that could be encountered had a significant background. They had all stood out from among many native creatures or world-destroying creatures in this world. Only the strong enough had the qualification to continue existing on the surface of the Eternal Light World. Not to mention, Corrosion Rain Land was one of the major dangerous areas of the Eternal Light World.

In the Aberrant Demon Beast Nelse's perception, the falling rain curtain was just blocked into several human figures. Undoubtedly, these were intruders. No living being had dared to come here for a long time. It opened its mouth, filled with layers of sharp teeth, and exhaled cold white mist.

However, the Aberrant Demon Beast Nelse didn't immediately pounce on the three enemies ahead. The reason was that these three prey each had something that displeased it. Its brain, eroded by purple poison, stalled for a moment, temporarily having some choice difficulty. Finally, it pounced on the one that felt the most arrogant in its perception.

"Come on."

As Zuiyasi spoke, his form began to transform into numerous black, slender tentacles. Just then, Kaiser had somehow appeared beside him.

Kaiser extended a hand from the bottom edge of the Abyssal Jar. In this hand was a shoe emitting yellow smoke. He casually tossed it. Combined with the Aberrant Demon Beast Nelse pouncing with its mouth wide open, the shoe flew directly into the Aberrant Demon Beast Nelse's mouth, passing through its throat without obstruction and into its stomach.

The Aberrant Demon Beast Nelse had just reached Zuiyasi's front and was about to bite down when it suddenly took a big step back. Its sharp, large mouth closed, and then, as if burping, its lower abdomen expanded once.

Then the Aberrant Demon Beast Nelse suddenly fell into the muddy water, struggling. Its two front claws reached into its mouth to dig, but after rolling and tossing on the ground for a long time, besides vomiting all over the place, it still couldn't dig out that shoe.

The Aberrant Demon Beast Nelse rose with a swift posture, no longer looking at the surrounding enemies, and desperately ran into the distance. After the Aberrant Demon Beast Nelse had run far away, Su Xiao could still faintly hear a howling scream coming from the rain.

The few continued forward. But before they had taken a few steps, a figure appeared ahead. This existence had pale skin, looking like a little boy with ceramic-like cracks on its face. Its eyes were pitch black, and within that blackness, tiny white dots were jumping and rotating. It was the world-destroying existence encountered in Wind Sea Continent: the Shadow Eater.

Meeting an "old acquaintance" so soon was unexpected for Su Xiao. From the Shadow Eater's stunned expression, it also hadn't expected to meet Su Xiao here.

There were one good and one bad news now.

The good news was that the Shadow Eater had just arrived in the Eternal Light World and didn't know about the Lightless Temple here, nor how to notify other world-destroying existences that a Law Destroyer had come to this world.

The bad news was that the method of using "good teammates" to improve survival chances had failed at this moment. The Shadow Eater didn't even glance at Zuiyasi or Wude. Its eyes, fixedly staring at Su Xiao, explained everything.

"Die!"

With a boom, the Shadow Eater transformed into countless black threads, forming a huge mouth full of sharp teeth, and attacked Su Xiao. Due to its unique world-destroying characteristic, the surrounding space became especially viscous, and the falling fluorescent purple rain stopped. In terms of combat power alone, the Shadow Eater was at the Absolute Strength level. The result of fighting it could be imagined.

Su Xiao not only didn't draw his blade, he didn't even release the Demon Spirit. Upon seeing the Shadow Eater, he had actually already spoken. Because the other party directly pounced, his voice happened to reach the other party's ears during this process.

"Want to get out?"

Just four simple words. The Shadow Eater's pouncing action abruptly stopped. Those thirty-plus-centimeter-long sharp teeth halted one centimeter from Su Xiao's brow.

In Wind Sea Continent, Su Xiao had already discovered that this world-destroying existence wasn't very smart. Not to mention anything else, when it was scouting near the castle where he lived, it left footprints, which immediately exposed its intelligence. Those footprints emitting black smoke didn't require any guesswork to know who they belonged to.

The Shadow Eater returned to its normal form. It stared fiercely at Su Xiao, but it felt that what Su Xiao said made sense. If it killed this Law Destroyer here, it would truly have no hope of leaving this Eternal Light World.

Su Xiao looked at the Shadow Eater with a smile. Seeing him smile, Zuiyasi and Wude both instinctively became alert, because both knew that when Su Xiao smiled at someone, it meant he was about to unleash a big move.

Su Xiao said to the Shadow Eater: "Think carefully. In Wind Sea Continent, did I provoke you first, or did you come to me first?"

"I... came to you first."

"Right. So I sent you here. This was unavoidable. Don't you agree?"

"No!"

The Shadow Eater immediately became fierce.

"Then let's consider it my problem for now. But does this help you escape the Eternal Light World?"

Hearing this, the Shadow Eater squinted and thought for a moment, then honestly answered: "No."

"The enmity between us isn't actually that great. I locked you in here, that's my problem. If I let you out again, wouldn't that make us even? Don't you agree?"

"Right... no! But... seems... right, right or wrong?"

The Shadow Eater was so angry it scratched its head, gradually becoming agitated.

Su Xiao pointed to the distant tower shadow and said: "See that tower far away? That's the exit of this world."

"You're lying. The entrance to that tower can't be opened at all."

The Shadow Eater looked like it had seen through Su Xiao's lie and was about to attack.

"What are you?"

Su Xiao looked down at the Shadow Eater. The Shadow Eater pondered for a moment and said: "A world-destroying spirit."

"And what am I?"

"You're a hateful Law Destroyer."

"So here, you're the prisoner, and I'm the administrator."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, although the Shadow Eater was a bit displeased, it more or less acquiesced.

"Then let me ask you, can the exit of this prison be opened by the prisoner, or by the administrator?"

"Of course by the administrator. Do you think I'm stupid?"

The Shadow Eater's gaze began to turn hostile again.

"So, as a prisoner, you naturally can't open the entrance to that tower. From another perspective, that also means it's the exit of this world. See, I'm being sincere."

After Su Xiao's round of persuasion, the Shadow Eater's gaze was still fierce, but its killing intent had diminished by over ninety percent.

"What... guarantee do you have?"

"I guarantee it in the name of the Law Destroyers."

After saying this, Su Xiao stopped speaking, letting the Shadow Eater think it over slowly. The Shadow Eater thought for a moment and felt that this was indeed the case.

Zuiyasi and Wude, who had witnessed all this, both confirmed that the persuasion had succeeded. Super fighter +1.
