No. 2’s voice disappeared. This living Unmentionable used his power to deliver a fatal blow to the fleshy Gao Xing. He used the smallest price to gain the biggest reward. One of Gao Xing’s three souls was eaten by Han Fei and Gao Cheng. Gao Cheng gained the power of usurpation, and Han Fei maintained his life. Plus, they needed time to digest the new power and reconstruct the abyss so they wouldn’t have time to stop the blood sacrifice of Hope City.
No. 2 could see the branching paths of fate. He made sure fate flow the direction he wanted. The fate of fleshy Gao Xing was forcibly changed. The fetus couldn’t be killed, but it could be weakened enough for Han Fei to eat it. Gao Xing and Gao Cheng were twinflowers. In the past, Gao Xing had the absolute upper hand. But the scale was tipping towards Gao Cheng. The abyss chomped on the fleshy Gao Xing and slowly engulfed it.
The healing starlight suppressed the flesh. Gao Cheng’s body was forced to combine with the fleshly underworld. The power of immortality pumped into his veins. Every heartbeat made his body stronger than before.
The fleshy Gao Xing in the abyss still struggled. It wouldn’t give up so easily. The fleshy ghost territory stopped expanding. The roots that previously grew towards the fetus had a new target. Han Fei was the better choice. They all wanted to be a part of Han Fei and finally escape from this endless hell!
Every root represented an innocent soul. Han Fei welcomed all the ghosts from the sea of flowers. He wanted to destroy Gao Xing’s previous garden. Certain buildings in the altar world could affect Gao Xing in real life. Examples were the fleshy underworld and the sea of flowers. They were very important to Gao Xing.
The flowers swayed. Even the elder was influenced. Different voices appeared in the unified thought. The one consciousness imploded from within. The hivemind collapsed. Some of them entered God’s carcass, and others entered the greed abyss. The elder had control of less and less consciousness.
“Teacher, the immortal project is not as beautiful as you think. You’re wrong this time.” Ah Nian took away the most precious flowers at sea. With the attack from Ah Nian and the several Pure Hatreds, the elder was knocked into the abyss as well.
By now, Han Fei had eaten Natural Life, Undead, and Longevity. Immortal that Immortal Pharma and Gao Xing wanted to create would be formed in Han Fei’s abyss. No one knew what kind of monster it would become.
“The fleshy underworld that could regenerate itself, the sea of flowers made from consciousness, the abyss of sins, and a galaxy made from healing stars.” Han Fei’s greed abyss had changed fully. Everything he ate was… as No. 2 said, meant to pave the way for the new God. It would be difficult to digest these things. Han Fei’s consciousness was pulled away by different forces. However, he had to survive in this extreme pain and remain alert so that Gao Xing wouldn’t have the chance to fight back. Only by consuming one of Gao Xing’s souls that Han Fei had a chance when the actual Gao Xing returned in the future. Han Fei had never experienced such a tough time consuming something. It was far worse than digesting God’s eyes.
He didn’t dare to put any guard down. Even though the fetus was far weaker than the actual Gao Xing, it was the strongest thing Han Fei had ever encountered. He knew he was technically swallowing a knife, but he had to keep on going. This was a battle where the winner would take all.
In the chaos of time, Han Fei focused on digesting Gao Xing’s mind. As Gao Xing slowly disappeared, Gu Yang Tian Nian Old Folk’s Home started to collapse.
God’s carcass held up the sky. Its face became more like Han Fei's. Thankfully, it didn’t attack Han Fei like the bloody shadow. It seemed to possess sentient thought and was slowly adapting to this altar world.
“Gao Cheng! Wake up!” Ah Nian’s urgent calls echoed in his ears. Han Fei couldn’t respond. Several Pure Hatreds returned to the abyss. The ghost territory around the old folk’s home disappeared.
His sense of the outside world was removed. Han Fei’s only purpose was to kill Gao Xing. His body was moved. It was unknown how long this pain lasted.
“Notification for Player 0000! You’ve consumed Top Pure Hatred, Natural Lifespan! Entrapment failed. The united consciousness has melted into the greed abyss and becomes part of your persona.
“Notification for Player 0000! You’ve consumed Top Pure Hatred, Undead! Entrapment failed. The fleshy ghost territory has melted into the greed abyss and becomes part of your persona.
“Notification for Player 0000! You’ve consumed Natural Lifespan, Longevity, and Undead! Immortal will be born in your persona!
“Immortal (??): It didn’t become an Unmentionable but was stronger than a Pure Hatred! It has the flesh of a living person but the obsession of a ghost! It is undead and immortal. It is the final creation of Immortal Project!”
Han Fei’s greed persona had a categorical change. The abyss was now radiating with life. Blood, flesh, ghosts, and souls built up this place. It looked like an actual self-regenerating world.
“Notification for Player 0000! Your greed persona has reached the limit allowed by the altar world. Continue your feast, and you’ll complete the ninth awakening!”
After the system notification ended, Han Fei couldn’t hold on anymore. His body collapsed in the blood water, and black mist. His mind disappeared into the star and abyss.
The altar was the foundation of the Unmentionable. It was also their obsession. Every sin Gao Xing had committed in real life was for this worst future. It was why the altar world could gain endless faith and strength. However, Han Fei and Gao Cheng broke the altar’s foundation.
…
“Han Fei will need at least three more days to wake up.” No. 4 stood beside the table. His hands were covered in blood as he had just returned from a massacre. “When the Pure Hatreds get the news, they’ll make their moves. Three days should be enough.”
“Are we sure we’re doing this?” No. 1 looked quietly outside the window. He could see into Hope City.
“If we didn’t show up, the survivors at Hope City would be sacrificed to Gao Xing, making his altar stronger. The fate of these souls trapped inside the altar has been written from the start.” No. 2 played with the puzzle on the table. He picked up the last missing piece. “The last piece is in place. We don’t need to resist fate anymore. Be ready. With our lives and the future of 600000 survivors on the line, we need to revive No. 0 this time!”
