A fist struck out.

This punch, Wu Xiaode used all his strength!

He even infused all the secret techniques that dispel evil power into this punch, just to make Yan succumb to complete death!

Bang.

Yan was hit and flew straight out of the high-rise building.

The Evil Spirit Book suddenly jumped out, its pages flipping open to reveal lines of small bronze characters:

"Yan is currently killed."

"All of Yan's power has been absorbed by you."

"Due to the interference of the battlefield rules, the opponent must drop an artifact."

All the small characters were retracted.

An artifact emitting a glow appeared in front of Wu Xiaode.

In an instant.

Liu Ping appeared quietly, thrust his snow-colored long blade upright, and lightly commanded:

"Activate!"

An invisible power erupted from the long blade, mixed with the scent of sulfur and destruction, transforming into an invisible ripple that spread rapidly.

When the ripple reached Yan's corpse, the body suddenly vanished.

"What did you do?"

Wu Xiaode couldn't help but ask.

Liu Ping took a few heavy breaths, waited until his breath was steady, and then sheathed his blade.

"A technique—"

"Yan is completely dead, I used this technique to deceive its body at the moment of its death."

"Huh? What?" Wu Xiaode didn't understand at all.

Yan was undoubtedly dead.

—It's dead, what's the point of deceiving it?

Liu Ping said, "From now on, its body will believe it's still alive and will continue to follow its commands, completing various tasks."

"But I already took it down," Wu Xiaode said, unable to comprehend.

Liu Ping proudly said:

"Exactly, so from now on, I'll be the one controlling this body."

"I absorbed all of Yan's power, what will you do if you encounter other evil demons?" Wu Xiaode asked again.

"You don't need to worry about that, various special effects can be quite convincing, besides I'm also an evil demon, what is there to fear," Liu Ping replied.

"...Thank you for covering for me," Wu Xiaode said.

Liu Ping patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll disguise myself as Yan now and go play with those evil demons."

"By the way, I'll say you barely escaped my pursuit."

With that, his figure flickered and disappeared.

Wu Xiaode stood there, stunned, suddenly realizing he still had unfinished business.

The task Nan Li entrusted!

The Evil Spirit Book opened again, and on the first card of the Pilgrimage, Nan Li looked at Wu Xiaode.

"The ritual is still ongoing, no worries."

Wu Xiaode's heart settled.

Yet on the card, heavy water waves formed a barrier, constantly revealing all the things he had done in the past.

The ritual was calculating all the merit after his awakening of the Death Ability!

Wu Xiaode couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy.

It seemed like he hadn't done much other than fighting, was there any merit in that?

As he pondered, he saw the water walls manifest and then transform into torrents, all rushing into the well.

The originally dry well suddenly filled with water.

"Great, Little Wu," Nan Li said joyfully, "still claiming to be a delinquent, tell me, what delinquent has such grand merit?"

"I have merit?" Wu Xiaode asked curiously.

Nan Li said, "Just the act of killing the U-level evil demon Yan was enough to save countless worlds, merit immeasurable; not to mention you've not only killed it, you've always fought for that sliver of hope for all beings."

She stood on the edge of the well, pointing her hand towards the well.

An image of the sky immediately appeared in the well water.

Amidst the swirling clouds, a full moon hung high in the night sky.

—The moon's reflection in the well!

"From now on, you must take it seriously, Little Wu," Nan Li said.

"Why?"

"If you can't give it your all, you might not be able to embark on the Pilgrimage, or even survive."

Before the words finished, the Evil Spirit Book seemed to sense something and immediately opened, revealing lines of small bronze characters:

"First relic unlock."

"Moon Pavilion!"

"Please make a choice, place it in any location on the battlefield, and activate it."

Wu Xiaode scratched his head.

Joking, if a relic suddenly appeared on the battlefield, the evil demons would definitely swarm!

Where on the battlefield could accommodate this relic?

While thinking, he saw the full moon's image gradually covering the entire well opening.

It was impatient to manifest!

A flash of inspiration hit Wu Xiaode, and he spoke:

"Place the relic on the Bronze Holy Pillar—no, beneath the Bronze Holy Pillar, the segment of the Bronze Holy Pillar I own!"

"Remember to keep it hidden!"

"Okay," Nan Li said.

Before the words were finished, she and the card disappeared together.

A powerful pulling force came.

Wu Xiaode was also pulled out of this parallel world.

...

Main World.

The bottom of the Bronze Holy Pillar.

The pillar buried underground faintly lit up.

Meanwhile.

Wu Xiaode was already inside the pillar, in the first relic world.

Here—

Is an island.

The sea was deep blue, merging with the sky.

Only one island emerged, anchored between heaven and earth.

Wu Xiaode stood on the beach.

"What should we do now?"

He spread his hands and said.

—After landing just now, he had already explored the entire island.

There was no discovery.

It was just a vast island with various creatures.

"I just helped you open this layer of relic. As for what will happen, I don't know either," Nan Li said.

"I see... It's a good thing I made the right choice just now," Wu Xiaode said.

"What do you mean?" Nan Li asked.

Wu Xiaode jumped up, soaring through the sky into its depths, and shouted loudly towards the heavens:

"Hey, you up there, Benevolent Father, Omniscient Lord, give me some advice!"

That's right.

Above this Bronze pillar, God was sealed, performing an Anti-healing Skill!

With Wu Xiaode's loud shout—

God's voice suddenly appeared in his mind:

"As a pilgrim undertaking your pilgrimage, can't you think of a solution on your own?"

"I have thought," Wu Xiaode said.

"Thinking like this is not acceptable," God said.

"Isn't it normal to be anxious when things happen?" Wu Xiaode shrugged and said.

"Of course, it's not normal!" God said in an indisputable tone.

"Actually, I misspoke earlier—this is me encountering the most crucial event of destiny, and I couldn't help but recite my Lord's name, hoping the Lord is with me to guide me towards the light," Wu Xiaode said.

"You did the right thing," God said with satisfaction.

As the words fell.

The Evil Spirit Book directly opened, revealing new prompt runes:

"The great Benevolent Father has linked to your origin power 'Evil Spirit Book'."

"The omniscient 'hang'—no, it should be 'all-powerful Lord' is with you."

"You will learn about the events of the current first layer of relic."

"Additional reminder:"

"Each message automatically deducts 1 ton of gold."

"Furthermore, for just thirty thousand tons of gold, you can immediately enjoy the Heaven information package monthly service."

Wu Xiaode swept his hand over the ring.

There were a total of thirty thousand tons of gold in the ring.

Damn God, not a single cent was spared!

But Wu Xiaode quickly came around.

Well, then—

Money is an external object.

The relic is what truly matters!

"God, I'll take a month's subscription," Wu Xiaode said.

The next second.

The gold in his ring disappeared instantly.

God's solemn and majestic voice echoed in his ears:

"Your performance today is quite devout! Very well, I shall grant you a month's worth of subscription messages."

"Benevolent Father, can you give me some hints now?" Wu Xiaode spread his hands and said.

The Evil Spirit Book turned, revealing lines of small bronze characters:

"Currently, you are facing the test of opening the first layer of the relic."

"Any existence, in front of the first layer of relic, must face the test with a certain identity."

"Report your identity, and the corresponding test for your identity will be generated immediately."

So that's how it is!

Wu Xiaode spoke up:

"I am a human punk from Dongwang Street, Xijing City."

Exactly!

I am a punk.

How hard can the test be for a punk?

As soon as the words left his mouth, the Void flashed, countless glimmers converged, enveloping him, and plummeting towards the massive island below.

Wu Xiaode was directly pulled into the dense rainforest at the center of the island.

He stood on a moss-covered rock.

Opposite.

In the forest, seven or eight monkeys squatted on branches, looking at him in bewilderment.

Bam!

A light sound.

Wu Xiaode also turned into a monkey.

Lines of small bronze characters appeared in the Void:

"The monkey species here is: Endangered Fiery Flame Monkey."

"They will die if they do not eat within five hours."

"Congratulations."

"You have become one of them."

"Become the Monkey King and lead the troop to survive, pilgrim."

"Ultimately, you must become the leader of the entire island."

"—Succeed and you will pass the relic test!"

Wu Xiaode quickly read the prompt runes and then glanced at the group of monkeys.

Become—

Their king?

The monkeys silently assessed Wu Xiaode as well.

Suddenly.

The strongest monkey stepped forward two steps, stepping on a branch, scratched its red butt with a claw, withdrew its paw expressionlessly, and flicked a black ball towards Wu Xiaode.
