Eternal Life: I Can Sell Everything

In the Inverted Deceit Realm, Gao Xiaolang only had time to snatch a rusty, dilapidated Pen Knife from his waist and toss it to Song Ciwan before he plummeted into the fissure.

「The Mortal World. Wangjiang Mountain.」

At night, Wangjiang Mountain was utterly silent. The moon on the fourteenth day of the first month was nearly full, hanging high in the sky and casting a cold, clear light.

Everything seemed fine, except that on this mountain, the wind was still, the insects were silent, no human voices could be heard, and all life was absent. This formed a stark contrast to the distant city, where the clamor of the Night Parade of Hundred Demons raged.

A twelve-foot-tall Night Wanderer dashed through the city streets. Yellow Turban Warriors carried the mangled remains of various grotesque creatures; some headed for the City God Temple, others for the Demon Refining Platform, and still others in unknown directions...

In the world of mortals, some wept and some laughed. Some shivered in fear, while others slept soundly.

The running Night Wanderer suddenly turned his head. He looked toward Wangjiang Mountain and muttered, ’Why does this feel so strange? Are those guys on Wangjiang Mountain even capable of handling this?’

Suddenly, a blindingly bright, spectral light flashed amidst the dark silhouette of the distant mountain.

The light was like a lightning bolt, slashing down from the sky. It was as if a giant, unseen hand, appearing from nowhere, had seized a barrier that mortal eyes could not perceive—

With a single pull from the giant hand—RRRRIP!

The sky tore open.

Though no sound was actually made, a piercing shriek seemed to spread from the void itself.

The Night Wanderer cried out involuntarily, "Ah!"

He cried out in pain and clutched his ears. His very spirit trembled, and a sharp pain lanced through his eardrums.

A slight figure flashed through the slanted fissure, tumbling into the mountain’s shadows and vanishing in an instant.

The Night Wanderer stared with eyes as wide as bronze bells, his heart pounding. ’What was that?’

Before he could fully process what he had seen, a series of tearing sounds, one after another, echoed from the direction of Wangjiang Mountain. RRRRIP! RRRRIP!

Countless luminous cracks appeared in the mountain’s inky silhouette. They looked like lightning, like tearing silk, as if innumerable worlds were all collapsing at once!

The next moment, the Night Wanderer roared, "The City Defense Array! Quick! Raise the Array! Raise the Array!"

His twelve-foot frame shot toward the sky, but a majestic voice suddenly echoed from above. "There is no need for alarm. Hold your positions. People of the city, join me in prayer."

A calm, steady chant floated down from the sky, dense yet gentle, reaching the ears of every single person in the city.

"May Heaven protect and secure thee, that all you do may prosper. Like the mountains, like the foothills, like the great ridges and the hills..."

The majestic voice recited.

It would recite a line, then pause.

Then, gradually, more voices from within the city began to join the recitation.

"May Heaven protect and secure thee, that all you do may prosper. Like the mountains, like the foothills, like the great ridges and the hills..."

"Like the rivers in their flowing, that your bounty may ever increase..."

...

A great hum arose as more and more voices joined in, interspersed with cries of excitement and joy. "It’s the City God! It’s our City God! Quick, follow the City God’s lead!"

"May Heaven protect and secure thee, that all you do may prosper. Like the mountains, like the foothills, like the great ridges and the hills..."

Some stood where they were, some knelt on the ground, and some dropped their weapons, all watching with wide eyes as—

—the hideous monsters, so terrifying a moment ago, suddenly vanished with a *PUFF* amidst the chanting, melting away like snow in the sun!

On Wangjiang Mountain, more and more fissures ripped open, and a steady stream of figures tumbled out of them.

Some wept with joy. "I’m out! Thank heavens! I made it out of the Deceitful Realm alive!"

Others were still dazed. "Wh-what in the world is happening?"

Still others shrieked in agony. "Aah, my legs! My body! I... I..."

The one screaming was Dong Siliang, who, unable to endure his hunger back in the Inverted Deceit Realm, had rushed into Mr. Gao’s kitchen.

But now, Dong Siliang had almost completely lost his human form. His legs had become extremely short, shaped less like legs and more like arms. His hands were gone. His head was gone.

All that remained was a round torso with his facial features arranged on his chest. He looked like a bloated, disc-shaped person!

Xie Yunxiang also tumbled out of a fissure, still dazed and completely unaware of the situation.

That is, until he turned and bumped into the bloated, round form of Dong Siliang. Xie Yunxiang leaped back with a startled cry, "Holy mother...!"

Without a second thought, he turned and fled.

He left Dong Siliang behind, watching his retreating figure with a look of agony and resentment.

Meanwhile, still within the Deceitful Realm, Song Ciwan quickly changed her face again. This time, she didn’t revert to Xin Mian’s face, nor did she take on the visage of Lu Bell of the Black Heart Demon Saber. Instead, she chose a brand-new face no one had ever seen.

It was a plain face with sallow skin, making her look like a perfectly ordinary youth.

She shed her conspicuous cloak, leaving herself in a common gray tunic. Finally, as another fissure began to stretch toward her, Song Ciwan used the Qimen Taoist Skill, A Grain of Sand in the Sea, and tucked the Pen Knife Gao Xiaolang had thrown her into the Vast Sea Grotto Heaven—

With her Power restored, Song Ciwan could once again connect with the Vast Sea Grotto Heaven, and her Storage Talisman was usable again.

Song Ciwan worried the Storage Talisman wasn’t secure enough, so she placed the Pen Knife in the Vast Sea Grotto Heaven instead.

She didn’t know what the item was for, nor why Gao Xiaolang had thrown it to her, but she knew she had to keep it safe regardless.

The crumbling world was like a bizarre canvas being endlessly torn. Huge swaths of the scenery dissolved and peeled away as if soaked in water. Song Ciwan delayed no longer, leaping through one of the fissures.

It felt like passing through a tunnel against a raging current. A moment later, Song Ciwan burst out the other side. She felt a sudden chill as the night wind blew and moonlight spilled over her. She was back in the Mortal World!

In an instant, sound rushed back in.

The spectral glow of fissures was visible everywhere on Wangjiang Mountain, weaving across the night sky like spiderwebs.

Some fissures were short, others long. Some vanished as soon as they appeared, while others lingered in the night sky for several moments.

People burst from the fissures from time to time, but some would never emerge...

Through the fissures, one could occasionally hear distant screams of agony.

"My eyes! Aah! My eyes!"

"My head! Give me back my head..."

SNAP! The fissure closed.

The distant voices were cut off, one by one, collapsing into silence.

Song Ciwan stood silently in the darkness, immediately scanning her surroundings.

When her keen Spiritual Sense detected that Xie Yunxiang and the others had all emerged from the fissures and were scattered across Wangjiang Mountain, she was finally able to relax.

Fissures continued to appear and disappear all around her. It was clear that the collapse wasn’t limited to the Huai Xi Village Deceitful Realm...

Perhaps countless Deceitful Realms existed simultaneously on Wangjiang Mountain.

The collapse of Huai Xi Village was merely the trigger—the beginning.

At this very moment, innumerable Deceitful Realms were collapsing all at once!

Song Ciwan produced three Ancestral Dragon Coins. She tossed the coins to the ground, preparing to divine a direction to search for Gao Xiaolang.

’I wonder... did he really manage to escape the Deceitful Realm safely?’
