For Scott, today truly passed by in a haze. He even felt that time seemed to pass faster than usual. Clearly, everyone's attitude was normal, but Scott felt something was off, though he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was unusual about it."Well then, perhaps there really is something unusual?" Ayer spoke softly, the atmosphere seeming to change, as if something sinister lurked among them, eagerly waiting to prey on their minds.Even Ayer's voice started to become unclear to Scott."As you think about it, who is the abnormal one after all, Mason, or the wind spirit, or someone else...""It's you." Scott's cold voice suddenly echoed.Ayer widened his eyes, looking down at his chest.At that moment, Scott turned around, moving with unbelievable speed to stab "Ayer" through the chest. Ayer gasped, looking at Scott, then his body began to transform uncontrollably, his face contorting grotesquely, his mouth widening, and his eyes bulging, resembling first a snake and then an toad.His voic
Scott glanced once more at the others then spoke softly, 'I will definitely succeed.'With that said, he turned and walked into the World Tree. The door did not open at all. Scott directly traversed through the World Tree, entering inside its trunk.At the same time, the wind spirit turned to look into the distance. There, dust filled the sky, trees incessantly collapsing."Their speed is quite remarkable," the wind spirit murmured.The fire spirit chuckled coldly, "Ha, speed matters little. As long as they dare to come here, we will strike them without mercy!"As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening sound echoed, followed by a tearing wind. A bizarre creature with enormous wings attacked them.The wind spirit raised his hand; before the creature could reach them, his blades of wind sliced it into pieces!"Let's fight," the wind spirit said solemnly.Meanwhile, the sky had been covered by swarming monsters, and the ground teemed with various creatures. In the distance, gigantic mo
As Scott moved forward, he felt as though countless eyes were fixed on him, yet there was no one around except himself. Perhaps there were hidden figures lurking in the shadows that he couldn't detect. Nonetheless, Scott paid no heed and continued forward at a rapid pace.After a while, a door just wide enough for a single person finally appeared before him. The door was bathed in light, making it impossible for Scott to see what lay beyond. Without hesitation, Scott walked into the brightness.A surge of immense energy passed through his body. Scott felt as though he was bathing in warm water.Opening his eyes wide, Scott found himself facing a colossal library made of intertwined trees, books neatly arranged inside their trunks, vertically ascending to great heights. Some books seemed to reach all the way to the top, containing knowledge that could take a lifetime to read.In the center of the library stood a chair and a table, where a figure was seated. With a perfect physique an
“In the end, what was the answer?" Scott couldn't help but wonder. No one could answer him.By now, Scott's body was covered with numerous small and large wounds, and his strength and energy were running low.Scott lay on the ground and looked up at the top of the library. Suddenly, the light from the library's peak shone strangely bright, so much so that even if he closed his eyes, it pierced through, causing pain.Scott furrowed his brow, growling, "Can't you stop shining?!"As soon as he finished speaking, the dazzling light on the library's peak suddenly began to dim until it completely disappeared, no longer blinding him.Scott scoffed, then suddenly opened his eyes wide.He stood up abruptly from the ground, ignoring the pain his body groaned with, as if he couldn't feel it at all.Scott simply opened his eyes wide, looking up at the library's peak. Indeed, everything seemed to have had an answer from the beginning. He could control the light as he pleased. With just his will, n
The different colored energy streams filled the sky, enveloping the giant monster. The giant monster roared loudly, swinging its arms, massive dark energy emanating from its hands, rendering the attacks of the celestial spirits largely ineffective against it. At that moment, the dark energy of the monster began to engulf the world tree. Suddenly, a large figure rushed in, wrapping around the body of the giant monster. It was none other than Ayer. His body was almost as large as the monster's, grappling with each other, engaged in relentless combat. The spiritual essence of the monster had now hidden within the giant monster's body to avoid injury from Ayer.Ayer roared, "Leave this to me! Quickly protect the world tree!" With that, he continued to battle the giant monster, their colossal bodies entwined. Ayer bit fiercely into the monster's neck, prompting it to roar and use its massive hands to pry Ayer's serpent-like body away, the sound of bones cracking sending chills down one'
"Do you really think staying at home and doing housework is so admirable? Our family doesn't need a son-in-law like you! If you can't earn money, you should leave this house!""What a disgrace, that old man. It is indeed foolish to think you're a business genius, ha ha ha!""Now get out of this house. Existing like you only deserves contempt from others!"The lingering sounds echoed in Scott's head like the wails of demons in hell. Even though a year had passed, those words remained deeply etched in Scott's mind and couldn't be erased.He thought he could ignore those things, but it seemed whether he paid attention or not was beyond his control. Ultimately, those words felt like knives cutting through Scott's heart; just recalling them made it bleed profusely.Scott stood in front of the A.J Hotel, the most luxurious hotel in City A. Drizzling rain lightly fell, causing Scott's tousled hair to be adorned with tiny raindrops. However, Scott didn't mind; he didn't even need an umbre
Scott seemed as if he couldn't perceive the gazes from all directions, or perhaps he could but chose to ignore them, calmly putting food on his plate.His movements were graceful, leisurely enjoying the delicious dishes.For Scott, the looks from these people meant nothing at all."Oh my, isn't it our dear son-in-law?" At this moment, a somewhat sharp voice rang out. Scott didn't need to look to know who was speaking. He lifted his eyes and indeed saw his mother-in-law and his wife coming over. Since he knew this in advance, Scott didn't show much surprise.On the contrary, others were astonished to see Scott's mother-in-law, especially when they heard her address him. Immediately, disdain concealed poorly on their faces.Mrs. Campbell slowly approached Scott, wearing an air of arrogance, her gaze full of disdain, as if Scott were some kind of trash.Moving ahead of her was Aboli, his wife. Just like her name, Aboli was undeniably beautiful. A face like a flower, large and capti
In contrast to his seemingly relaxed demeanor, his voice was truly chilling, as if a venomous snake could strike at any moment.The crowd fell silent for a moment as if frozen. Only Mrs. Campbell still hadn't sensed the danger; perhaps she was too accustomed to Scott's submissive appearance in the past. She was only surprised that Scott dared to tell her to leave.After a brief silence, she burst into laughter, "Ha ha ha, what are you talking about? Someone like you invited by the mayor? Are you still dreaming? This isn't a dream, ha ha ha."She laughed loudly, lacking any courtesy. Others seemed to be infected by her tone and couldn't help but burst into suppressed laughter. Indeed, it was ridiculous for Scott to claim he was invited.Who did he think he was? Just a ridiculed son-in-law and a joke for the entire city. Thinking about it, a sense of fear among the others immediately dissipated. They felt that the intimidating gazes earlier were probably just their illusion.Mrs.
