"What are you talking about..."
Wu Liang was indeed a bit stunned.
He never expected the second Supernatural Calamity to be brought forward due to his use of "modify reality".
The key is that during the process of "modify reality", he never felt the so-called "Ghost Compendium" taking the cost upon the world's timeline.
"Don't believe it? Think about every time you discovered a change in time, wasn't it always after you triggered a world-changing event?" The voice of Ghost Compendium was annoyingly familiar.
Usually, Wu Liang used this tone to tease others, but he never thought that one day it would boomerang back to hit him.
But what Ghost Compendium said made Wu Liang fall into contemplation.
Indeed... there seems to be no problem...
Whether it was previously going to the Tianshan Mountain Range to find and rescue mom Yao Qingxue, or later using Luo Fei as bait to attempt to eradicate the Promised Land, these two steps had significant changes on the current world.
If Yao Qingxue hadn't been rescued, then the "Peach Blossom Spring Plan" wouldn't exist, and Wu Liang wouldn't know the true origin of Ghost Compendium or Wu Xiaoyao's story from back then.
If the Promised Land hadn't been severely damaged, the authorities would have faced great issues handling both the second Supernatural Calamity and internal threats.
"But I've always tried to use the least costly method, why is the impact still so enormous?" Wu Liang asked with some anger.
To him, the second Supernatural Calamity arriving so quickly wasn't worth being angry about.
The main issue is that Wu Liang couldn't accept being schemed against!
Ghost Compendium responded with a punchable expression: "Low cost? Trying to glitch the system? Sorry, the world's existence won't encounter any glitches."
"Take, for instance, that time with Utopia's Hate Fuel. You thought you'd found a way to minimize Spiritual Power consumption modification.
But essentially, without this modification, you couldn't have saved so many Ghost Valley Old Guard. Without rescuing them, subsequent counterintelligence plans couldn't proceed smoothly, thus impacting the Promised Land cleanup."
"See, the unintended modifications have far-reaching effects! Understand? You feel Spiritual Power consumption decreases because the world bears more of the burden!"
These words were thunderous.
The less one bears, the more the world bears.
Wu Liang's expression became somewhat unsightly.
He suddenly remembered in this Fierce Ghost World, using "modify reality" while facing Magic Cube Dragon's Space trap, and the most severe was Zeus's lightning that almost destroyed him.
If not for "modify reality", he might truly have fallen then.
What impact might this action have on the world? After all, it can be considered escaping death's embrace.
Ghost Compendium seemed to see Wu Liang's ugly expression, suddenly put a hand on his shoulder, like two good pals discussing which beauty is prettier:
"Don't worry, haven't you noticed the cost of using 'modify reality' is lighter here? Mainly because this world has already completely decayed. No matter how excessive your actions are, they can't make things worse."
"To borrow First Emperor's words — this world has been abandoned."
These words enlightened Wu Liang.
No wonder he always felt different using "modify reality" compared to before.
It turns out when modifying reality in Fierce Ghost World, the cost is borne by Fierce Ghost World as a whole, completely unaffected by the real world over there.
Thinking this, Wu Liang suddenly noticed something, looking at Ghost Compendium with a serious expression, asking: "Is this the real reason you brought me to Fierce Ghost World?"
Snap—
Ghost Compendium snapped his fingers, cheerfully saying: "That's right, I hope you can use 'modify reality' here without hesitation, until you've fully mastered the ability to do as you please."
He then glanced to the side, Da Yi's nearly desiccated bones climbing Mount Tai were almost within reach.
Yet Ghost Compendium made no move to open a passage for Wu Liang to return to the real world.
Simply silently watched Da Yi below, muttering to himself: "Don't worry, my presence is as before. Currently, only you can see me, so in their eyes, now it's only you at the peak."
"How about we make a bet?"
Ghost Compendium's proposal puzzled Wu Liang.
At this time, what kind of betting game is there?
But now Da Yi was about to force his way to the front, and Yue Du and Poseidon, the two Great Venerables, were simultaneously dragging the First Emperor from afar.
Even if he wanted to run, there's nowhere to escape.
"What bet?" Wu Liang took a deep breath and asked.
"Very simple, survive this catastrophe using all the abilities you currently grasp, that means you win, and I'll help open a way back to the real world."
"As for losing... don't need me to say more, right? Losing means you lose everything, including your life." Ghost Compendium's identical face speaking these words made Wu Liang feel as if he saw another version of himself.
Clang—
As soon as the words fell, Da Yi's hand bones holding the Dark Sun heavily pounded onto Taishan Peak.
Yet just as it landed, it was attacked by a bizarre Mist Sword, not enough to knock him down, but it did stall his progress.
