Chapter 386 Nobody shall live!
Watching Isoson spread its wings and fly towards him, Xu Yi could actually understand the creature's thoughts.
Of all those present, Freddie was already like meat on the chopping board, and Oss had lost the power to resist. Only Xu Yi still had the ability to act.
If his soul had been just like any other, that might have been fine, but a crystallized soul looked so tempting that naturally, Isoson couldn't let it go.
Xu Yi burst out at high speed, charging towards Jason, firmly intending to divert the disaster elsewhere.
Freddie glanced at Isoson, whose attention was now all on Xu Yi, which meant that now was the best time to escape.
But his condition was so bad that it was very difficult for him to get out on his own.
He gritted his teeth and made an extremely risky decision.
In the Amusement City, a charred corpse suddenly emerged from the mines and rushed towards the city's edge.
That was the point of impact where the Amusement City collided with the moth, and also the exit from this Soul Space.
As the charred corpse was Freddie's main body, approaching the exit of the Soul Space was akin to exposing his own weakness to Isoson.
If his main body was also controlled, then he truly wouldn't stand a chance of turning the tables.
But there was no choice, only by having his main body come to his aid would there be a possibility of escape. Discover hidden content at My Virtual Library Empire
Freddie let out another wail of despair, and the worm-like body, as thick as a thumb, split once again. Repeating the trick, he managed to escape the control of the Soul Devouring Bug through division.
He was now only the size of a strand of hair, truly at his weakest point where he couldn't even wriggle.
The charred corpse reached the exit of the Soul Space and extended its hand. Freddie felt a pulling force, and his tiny worm-like body flew towards the charred corpse.
As he drew closer and closer to the charred corpse, Freddie's eyes brightened, but then he suddenly froze, his face filled with disbelief.
The charred corpse had suddenly entered the breach in the Soul Space!
It wasn't Isoson meddling; the charred corpse had entered the Soul Space of its own volition.
"Xu Yi! fuckxx!" Freddie suddenly burst out cursing. The only one with both the ability and the motive to do all this was Xu Yi.
Xu Yi was not only lurking inside his body, affecting his mind, but had also stealthily invaded his main body!
Indeed, it was Xu Yi's doing, but at the moment, Xu Yi wasn't even thinking about Freddie's curses; he suddenly couldn't move.
Isoson had somehow fixed him in place.
Xu Yi, watching Isoson approach, wasn't too panicked; he had anticipated this.
After all, this was Isoson's Soul Space, where the creature was the absolute ruler.
Realizing this, Xu Yi had already thought of a plan, and having the charred corpse enter the Soul Space was part of it.
Isoson opened its mouth, and from within, a suction emerged that pulled Xu Yi into it.
Isoson's devouring ability was not something the flesh mountain Oss, or Freddie, could compare with, because its strongest ability was Mental Contamination.
The power of the World Tree might prevent Xu Yi from being extinguished but couldn't keep him from being contaminated.
Even in the best-case scenario, he would simply be lingering on inside Isoson, which was not what he wanted.
Darkness gradually enveloped Xu Yi, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes, "If I can't live, then none of us will!"
He chose to flip the table.
The creatures within the Soul Space shuddered slightly, sensing something terrifying descending upon them—it was a golden gate, exuding an imposing aura that surged in all directions.
Xu Yi had summoned the Gate of Truth. He may not have had any Soul Entries, but he had something even more desirable to the Gate of Truth—Resurrection Coins.
He spent one Resurrection Coin to exchange for the brief arrival of the Gate of Truth.
He now had only 39 Resurrection Coins left.
The door slowly opened, and every creature present felt a pull. If everyone had been at their peak, they might have resisted, but they were all in the state of their soul origin.
Without any exception, including Jason, who was deluded by illusions, all presences were sucked into the Gate of Truth.
In the moment before entering the Gate of Truth, Xu Yi, through mental suggestion, planted a "Memory Bomb" in his soul, ready to burst as soon as it came into contact with critical information.
This was his preparation for the Baptism of the Gate of Truth.
Since Xu Yi took the initiative to open the Gate of Truth, he naturally had some confidence.
"It all depends on whether the system is powerful enough!" Xu Yi took a deep breath.
It was undoubtedly a risky move, last time passing through the Baptism of the Gate of Truth was purely good luck.
Whether he could survive this time was anyone's guess.
But once past the Baptism, the rewards would be unparalleled, and the victor would gain everything!
Xu Yi actively fell into a deep sleep, which could delay the effect of the Soul Devouring Ice Crystal.
As long as it could increase the chances of survival, even if just a sliver, he was willing to try.
"I hope this illusionary realm isn't too difficult this time!" Xu Yi prayed silently.
...
Golden light illuminated Xu Yi's eyes as he slowly woke from his slumber, the bright sunshine pouring in through the window, making the whole room gleam.
"Daddy! You're such a sleepyhead, the sun is already shining on your butt."
The finely sculpted little girl lay at the head of the bed, her eyebrows furrowed, looking adorably mature beyond her years.
Xu Yi was dazed for a moment, stretched lazily, and sat up in bed, touching the little girl's head, "Daddy hasn't forgotten? Today I'm taking you to the amusement park; go get mom to help you change your clothes!"
The little girl cheered and bounced away, Xu Yi watched her bare little feet and shook his head helplessly.
Xu Yi was seen as a winner in life by many, with a beautiful wife who loved him, a charming daughter, no mortgage or car loans, having inherited several buildings from his family, living a wealthy life just by collecting rents.
With money and leisure time, and no bad habits, his usual life was collecting rent, playing games at home, and going out with his daughter and wife.
The only less-than-perfect thing was that he always came up empty-handed when fishing!
Suddenly, the phone started ringing, showing the time "09:09," Xu Yi frowned slightly; he didn't remember setting this alarm.
But he didn't make much of it, dismissing the alarm and getting up to wash up and dress.
Life, as beautiful as a blooming flower, proceeded in an orderly fashion.
With very little work to do and no life pressures, every day was about enjoying life, a lifestyle that was simply too comfortable.
But one thing was strange: the alarm on the phone would always go off at "09:09," initially he thought it was a phone malfunction, but after switching several phones, the issue persisted.
Even when he deliberately did not take his phone to bed before sleeping, at that time, he still heard the alarm sound.
He visited a psychologist who said he was under too much stress and needed to learn to relax.
Xu Yi thought it was nonsense; if that was considered stress, wouldn't that mean workers lived in hell?
In saying that, it seemed true; the life of a worker was indeed difficult.
Xu Yi started taking strong sleeping pills, which initially worked, but over time, the pills became ineffective, and he heard the alarm sound again.
The alarm sound grew louder and more frequent, as he became surrounded by the piercing noise, even covering his ears did nothing.
Only he could hear this alarm sound, and he began to question if he was going mad until one day, a strange thought popped into his head.
"What if the problem isn't with me, but with the world instead?"
The moment this thought emerged, his brain exploded with a bang.
