Once raw and twice cooked.

Gu Jiancheng tried to open his eyes slowly.

But this time, he didn't directly possess the girl and observed the world from someone else's perspective.

With a clear sense of weightlessness, he felt as if he was in a vast astral realm, with an empty depth that could engulf everything in all directions.

In the dark darkness, a fire rose below.

He looked down.

A thick fog settles below.

Looming in the depths lies a world of blood and fire.

Two criss-crossing rivers flowed from the end of his line of sight across the endless conglomerate of worlds that flowed beneath his feet.

He tried to trace the source and destination of the long river, but he couldn't see the source or the flow, and he could only see that the two long rivers stretched across the endless world.

Even if it's just at first glance.

But Gu Jiancheng still found their names from countless myths - fate and time.

According to legend, their convergence is the "Long River of Origin" that the gods are also searching for, which is the source of all things, occupying all the past, present and future, the beginning and the end of all things!

Countless powerful people are chasing its traces, trying to generalize countless possibilities from it, but they are often lost halfway, and the gods are no exception.

Gu Jiancheng suddenly noticed that in the colorful river below, there seemed to be a winding snake shadow swimming.

Its body is infinitely large, as if it is filled with a long river of it.

I don't know if I sensed Gu Jiancheng's gaze, the indescribable snake head lifted from under the river and looked at him through the thick fog.

To Gu Jiancheng's shock, the pupils of the snake's head seemed to be hollow.

It...... Don't have eyes?

For some reason, the fog became thicker and thicker, which made Gu Jiancheng not sure if he was dazzled.

Could this heavy fog under your feet also be part of the [Sea of Mist]?

So this is the real world?

Just when he had doubts.

The world in front of it was shattered.

He slumped at the same time, and then fell into a seat as hard as iron.

"What is this place?" Gu Jiancheng adjusted his sitting posture, looked around in amazement, and couldn't help but step on his feet.

The touch under your feet is not the ground, but the touch of sand, which is softer.

He looked down, and the black-gray floor slowly squirmed, revealing a strange and evil aura, which reminded him of Goras's tentacles, but compared to the Q version of Goras that could be hung on his lap, it was obviously more evil here.

This is...... Is it a sea of mist?!

Gu Jiancheng couldn't help but want to lean over and touch the "floor" under his feet.

At this moment, as far as he could see at his feet, a miniature black snake swam by.

The other party didn't stop, nor did he look up at him, just crawled straight forward, looking at the back and being a little hurried.

Gu Jiancheng's heart moved slightly, this guy was finally willing to appear, is there going to be a showdown?

Communication is always the first way to resolve conflicts.

He stretched out his hand and was about to hold on, but the words he wanted to shout were blocked in his throat with the scene in front of him.

His eyes widened, and he looked at the scene in front of him incredulously, and the sensation of explosive numbness centered on the scalp and quickly spread to the whole body.

It was only then that he truly recognized his situation!

The temple made of mist is magnificent and strange, and there is a ...... rooted in the center of the temple Ancient trees?

He looked up the rough, iron-gray "trunk" and saw the branches and leaves that proved to be a tree.

The huge and lush canopy of trees supports the dome of the temple.

This couldn't help but make Gu Jiancheng think of a legend.

Legend has it that the highest point of the infinite world of the Chaos Sea is in the astral realm, which is the sleeping place of the [Stars], and it is precisely for this reason that [Stars] has always been regarded as the [Supreme].

The Long River of Origin starts from the Astral Boundary, flows through the Endless World, and finally pours into the Endless Hell and Abyss through the mouth of the Ruins.

There stands the [World Tree] that supports the Chaos Sea, and it is also the place of hell and abyss.

And the most ancient god who is known as the one who bears all the hells and abysses sits at the root of the [World Tree].

Is this the dormitory of [Great Abyss]?

But [Dayuan] is obviously not here, why did he come here?

He looked around to the left and right, and suddenly his gaze was fixed on the roots of the tree in front of him.

Around the roots of the tree, the little guy who had clinged to his shoulder not long ago to show him the contract was now densely packed!

This is...... Serpent Legion?

Gu Jiancheng subconsciously counted, and when he counted to 20, he suddenly stopped, looking at the dense snake army, he took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

These little ones, who were numbered of them, hurried to and fro around the trunks, some of them lifted their tails, rolled up a small bucket, poured the liquid from the bucket on the roots, and then turned around and crawled towards the road from which they came; Some of them buried their heads under the roots of the trees, digging in the earth, and from time to time digging out strange creatures from the ground, and then swallowing them in one gulp; Others wander over the canopy, as if pruning branches......

They have a clear division of labor, the trajectories do not affect each other, and everything is centered on the ancient trees in the temple.

Gu Jiancheng patted his face, and the slight pain told him that this was not a dream, and it also made him more curious about what state he was in at the moment, not an entity, and why he had a clear sense of touch and pain.

Watering, catching insects, pruning branches......

These guys turned his perception on its head.

He got up and wanted to step forward, but suddenly a small black snake swam at his feet, with a wooden sign wrapped around its tail.

Gu Jiancheng blinked.

The black snake also blinked, shaking the wooden sign with its tail coiled.

Gu Jiancheng's eyes gradually condensed, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Two sentences are written on the wooden plaque.

- I found you.

- Now, it's your turn to come to me.

Who left this word, and who found him?

Gu Jiancheng looked at the black snake that came with a wooden card, and an answer came to him spontaneously.

But this answer only made him cold.

Because the meaning of this answer was too much and too terrifying, so terrifying that he couldn't help but stand on end when he was only thinking about it, and he didn't dare to continue to think deeply.

But what he has experienced so far seems to be preparing for this answer, which makes him have to think in this direction.

He was silent for a long time and asked in a low voice:

"Is the person who wrote these two sentences your master, the King of the Great Abyss?"

The black snake with the wooden sign tilted its little head and shook its head unexpectedly.

Gu Jiancheng held his breath, he guessed wrong?

His gaze shifted sharply to the wooden sign again.

"Who left the words on this wooden plaque?" He asked.

The tail pointed at Gu Jiancheng.

Gu Jiancheng looked stunned.

He turned slightly sideways, and the tip of the little black snake's tail also turned.

“……”

Gu Jiancheng squatted down, pointed to the wooden sign and said earnestly: "What I asked is, who wrote the words on this wooden card?" ”

Hmmm-

The wooden card was thrown into Gu Jiancheng's arms.

The little guy pointed at him again, flicked his tail angrily, seemed very dissatisfied with his questioning of his business ability, and turned his head into the watering army.

Holding the wooden card in his arms, Gu Jiancheng looked at the snake army that was coming and going.

He wrote this wooden plaque himself?

He found himself on his own?

No...... Maybe we can look at it differently and assume that the wooden plaque was indeed written by him, but not necessarily by himself!

So here's the problem...... How could he have written this thing?

And to whom is it written?

Gu Jiancheng propped his head, feeling a little dizzy in his mind.

He couldn't help but smile wryly.

I thought I was chosen by accident, but now it seems that it is much more than that.

That's even trickier......

Just as his thoughts fluctuated, the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground rang out.

He looked down.

Even though he couldn't tell the difference between the snake legions, he still felt that a familiar little guy smashed a thick stack of papers in front of him, and then rubbed his cheek affectionately.

This act directly awakened his memory.

It turned out that it was this little guy who was lying on his shoulder not long ago.

He subconsciously glanced at the mighty snake army.

Now he wouldn't think that this little guy was the [Great Abyss]'s favorite family member of the ancient god.

Gu Jiancheng simply sat on the ground and looked through the documents.

As he expected, this was a contract document from the hand of [Dayuan].

It seems to be a thick pile, but in fact there is only one copy.

After looking through some of the performance clauses in the contract, he came to the first conclusion.

This king of the Great Abyss seems to be more ...... than he imagined Shameless?

Then again, with this contract in front of him, what is it going to do?

He suddenly noticed that the key "signature" was missing from the contract in hand.

From beginning to end, whether it is the obligations that both parties need to fulfill, and the liability for breach of contract...... There is everything there is without a trace of loopholes, but at the end of the signature and seal, Party B's name is incomplete.

Naturally, the contract must be signed and pledged before it can be validated.

"Sea ...... What is the sea? ”

Gu Jiancheng stared at Party B's signature, chattering.

The little guy lying cross-legged at his feet yawned slightly.

The next moment, the familiar sleepiness gently swept over Gu Jiancheng.

Gu Jiancheng tried his best to widen his eyes, looking at the little guy who was slowly curled up in a ball at his feet, and said in his heart, this trip was not in vain, and he finally found the source!

Feelings, this sleepiness comes from you?

The big guys are all working, and you're sleeping, won't your conscience hurt?!

The overwhelming drowsiness swept in.

Gu Jiancheng's last vision stayed on the title of the contract in his hand.
