Chapter 222: Chapter 201: Bright Ghost’s Battle!
At the Holy City,
the strongest among the Demon Gods looked at Wu Xiaode, who had turned into a Bright Ghost on the platform, and spoke some words.
Just as it said—
in the Death World, Bright Ghosts are a very special existence.
Perhaps Bright Ghosts aren’t all that strong.
But some things simply can’t be described in terms of strength or weakness—
for example, a demon strong enough to conquer many layers of the Purgatory World wouldn’t want to step in shit every time it stepped out of its door.
Or an Enchanting Demon with countless minions and the power to subdue many strong beings wouldn’t want, during the height of romantic charm with a hero, for someone to fart loudly next to them.
Or a Witch Demon with eternal life that has seen through the Laws of all worlds and no longer fluctuates emotionally over trivial matters wouldn’t want strays to urinate on the tombstone hiding its life box.
Indeed, these are matters unrelated to life and death.
But they’re annoying as hell.
It can make you feel like the whole damn day is ruined.
Not to mention, if Bright Ghosts take things seriously, the situation starts to change.
Maybe that shit you stepped in is hiding a blade.
Maybe that fart is poisonous.
Maybe that pee is corrosive.
How repulsive.
This situation would persist for at least a thousand years.
Every day, every hour, every minute, every second—
you might step in shit.
Shit that hides a knife that could kill you.
—Truly, a fucking ghastly ordeal.
Of course, this is just a simple metaphor.
But a Bright Ghost is that kind of Law-governed Death Monster.
It represents the good and bad luck of numerous undead and ghostly beings.
Generally speaking, Bright Ghosts are extremely rare since they can only survive with the blessing of the Laws.
—And yet, Wu Xiaode already had the full support of the Laws.
So—
When Wu Xiaode issued a threat, those skeleton demons playing dead suddenly all came to life.
"Don’t!"
"Please no!"
"We devoured it!"
The skeleton demons roared in unison.
They charged toward the One-eyed Giant and in an instant, swarmed all over it, attacking fiercely with various weapons.
From a distance, these demons looked like ants crawling densely all over their food.
"Weak bones, you cannot defeat me,"
the One-eyed Giant roared.
He swung the Skull Mace in his hand, maiming and killing countless demons.
However, the demons let out a sigh of relief.
They looked toward Wu Xiaode and shouted, "Look, I tried my best!"
Then they sank into the ground.
Sinking into the ground meant entering a death slumber, thereafter providing Soul Power to the Death World.
This was not a good thing.
But at that moment, everyone preferred sinking into the ground.
—Because after sinking into the ground, they always had a chance to contribute enough and be released by the Laws of the world.
But if you upset a Bright Ghost—
you’d have to step in shit for a thousand years!
Not a day, an hour, a minute, or a second less!
Who could endure that!
The skeleton demons scrambled to rush toward the One-eyed Giant.
Wu Xiaode stood still and said to a few protecting demons nearby, "I’m now affected by its Name Skill and cannot move, take me away."
"Don’t worry, Brother Bright Ghost," several demons replied, nodding and bowing.
They summoned a skeleton warhorse, placed Wu Xiaode on it, and then gave the horse a hard slap.
The skeleton warhorse immediately ran toward the distance.
Suddenly.
A radiant red light lit up behind, spreading in all directions.
Wu Xiaode thought for a moment and sighed, "It’s no use."
As expected.
The One-eyed Giant let out a thunderous roar.
The red glow spread everywhere at once, sweeping in all directions.
All Worlds Manifest!
This move was only effective against living beings!
The numerous demons were unconcerned and continued their ferocious assault.
The One-eyed Giant, covered in demons, sensed something was wrong and immediately unleashed other attacks, blasting the demons away in swathes.
Yet more demons clung on, making it difficult for him to break free for the moment.
Hundreds of meters away.
The skeleton warhorse’s speed increased, and it seemed about to break away from the battlefield.
It looked like everything was progressing in a positive direction.
But Wu Xiaode’s brows furrowed.
This random Death World didn’t seem to have anyone particularly powerful.
If they couldn’t kill the One-eyed Giant, that would be a joke.
If it caught up before his Life Force was exhausted and killed him, then it would be the last one standing!
No, no.
He must come up with a solution.
But he was affected by its Name Skill and couldn’t move.
That left him with only one option...
Wu Xiaode’s thoughts shifted.
The Book of the Dead immediately flew over, opening page by page before him until it reached the page of the "Holy Walk Wall."
"At this moment, I haven’t started live streaming to All Worlds..."
"Then face the Death World, can I set the live broadcast audience to the Death World?"
A projection wall instantly showed rows of ice crystal letters:
"Broadcast range selected as: Death World."
"In the many Death Worlds, those powerful beings can receive mana signals from this wall and watch the live broadcast."
"Please create a title for this broadcast, aiming to attract everyone’s attention."
Pick a title?
Wu Xiaode fell into deep thought.
From behind came the One-eyed Giant’s continuous roar.
The ground kept trembling.
It was the sound of it striding with full force, trying to catch up in Wu Xiaode’s direction.
What title to pick!
Don’t waste any more time!
Wu Xiaode spoke up.
"The title is—’The First Mukbang in the Death World, Calling You to Join!’"
Suddenly, a line of large characters appeared in the center of the screen.
It paused for a few seconds.
The characters vanished, and the scene of Wu Xiaode riding a skeleton warhorse appeared on the screen.
Wu Xiaode cleared his throat and said,
"Friends, hello."
"I am the Bright Ghost who brings you luck—Little Wu."
"Today, we’re having our first mukbang. Let’s see what today’s ingredients are."
The camera turned to show what was behind him.
A colossal creature, covered in skeleton demons, was roaring thunderously as it approached step by step.
Viewers started to appear in the livestream.
Since Wu Xiaode had set a boundary for the livestream, those who could enter it were none other than the big shots of the Death World.
How to persuade them to come and fight?
"It’s an honor today to have the One-eyed Giant who wandered into the Death World by mistake, serving as today’s ingredient."
"In order to eat it, the skeleton brothers have put in a lot of effort!"
As he spoke, a demon was flung away by the One-eyed Giant, letting out a long scream before crashing close to the front of the skeleton warhorse.
"Giddy up!"
Wu Xiaode urged his horse forward, stopping next to the demon.
It was a skeleton beast covered in ferocious spikes, emanating a pale white light of decay.
"Buddy, I saw you got flung out by it," Wu Xiaode remarked.
"Yes, no helping it, that fellow is too strong," the skeleton beast said with heavy breaths.
"Did you get a taste of its flesh?" Wu Xiaode asked.
The camera focused on the skeleton beast.
The skeleton beast contemplated and said, "Its body is too hard. I couldn’t bite through it even with all my might, but I did taste something salty in my mouth just now, seems like I got some of its skin flakes."
"How did it taste?"
"To be honest, I was extremely moved."
"Moved?"
"Here we are in the Sea of Skeletons within the Death World, where in the endless Death World, our strength is actually considered weak. We can’t eat others at all, we can only eat each other—so for countless years, I’ve been eating bones."
"And today you had some skin flakes?"
"Yes, I was very moved. I haven’t touched such ingredients in tens of thousands of years—thank you, Bright Ghost."
The footsteps of the One-eyed Giant were getting closer.
"Thank you very much for sharing," Wu Xiaode said.
"Giddy up! Full-speed run!" Wu Xiaode shouted.
His skeleton warhorse beneath him burst with power and raced away like a bolt of lightning.
On the screen, messages started appearing:
"The One-eyed Giant... does it taste good?"
"Anyway, it’s a living thing."
"Living? Seems to indeed be alive, that’s amazing!"
"Quite rare."
"What? It’s alive? It’s been so long since I’ve had something alive."
"—Our race is too terrifying, no Undead Mage wishes to summon us."
"I’m getting hungry too, why hasn’t any wicked ritual summoned me to the world of the living?"
"Nonsense, you lot eat the Undead Mage as soon as you get there, of course, no living person will fall for it again!"
"Oh, the fragrance of flesh and blood, I can’t resist."
"Speaking of which, this thing is still tinged with a bit of Divinity, I really want to eat it."
"Midnight snack posting, Bright Ghost is really..."
Wu Xiaode sat unmoving on his horse, reading each message thoroughly and carefully considering them.
He looked towards the camera and seriously said,
"Did you all see? What we’re going to eat today is this entire One-eyed Giant, and right now we’ve only reached the layer of skin flakes."
"It’s still struggling—"
"Yes, as you’ve all seen, the ingredient is indeed very fresh."
"However, a living being in the Death World will continuously have its Life Force extracted, and as time passes, it will gradually become unable to resist."
As Wu Xiaode spoke, he suddenly raised his voice and announced,
"I declare, this mukbang has just begun, and anyone is free to join in!"
"Payment will be in Soul Power!"
The Chi Xiao Sword suddenly suggested via telepathy, "Broaden the limits, that way more people will come."
"What else can be used as currency?" Wu Xiaode quietly inquired.
"Three forces construct everything; they are Soul Power, Merit, and the Power of Wishes," the Chi Xiao Sword said.
Wu Xiaode immediately caught on.
For him, Soul Power could activate various skills for combat;
The Power of Wishes could enhance strength, like the admiration from all beings he needed, which could level up skills;
As for Merit—
Merit was the rarest, he still didn’t know what it could do, but everyone was scrambling for it.
With this thought, Wu Xiaode announced loudly,
"Besides Soul Power, the Power of Wishes and Merit can also be used to purchase an entry ticket for this mukbang."
"The eating method will be a buffet."
"One person’s meal costs 500,000 Soul Power, or an equivalent in the Power of Wishes and Merit."
"A couple’s buffet meal is 900,000 Soul Power."
"Two adults and one child is even more cost-effective, only for 1.2 million Soul Power!"
—Killing the Black Dragon would need about 4 million Soul Power.
Dividing the One-eyed Giant like this should still be considered reasonable, right?
"Start your purchases!" Wu Xiaode announced loudly.
There was silence on the screen for a moment.
A glowing message jumped out:
"Bright Ghost, will you be participating?"
—The glow indicated that it was a matter of general concern.
Wu Xiaode’s thoughts turned, and he immediately knew what these undead were worried about.
"Everyone, I want to clarify that in this buffet, how much you manage to eat depends entirely on your own abilities, I will not participate at all," he explained earnestly.
These guys were all concerned about him taking action.
Food safety is a big deal; nobody dares to eat food contaminated by misfortune.
To take action...
A flash of spirit light crossed Wu Xiaode’s mind.
Right, he wasn’t totally incapable of doing anything!
Wu Xiaode looked towards the Book of the Dead.
He saw a string of ice crystal letters quickly appearing on the Book of the Dead:
"As the Bright Ghost, you can launch the Bright Ghost Skill at any time."
"By spending the corresponding Level of Soul Power, you can unleash either a Blessing of Luck or a Curse of Misfortune."
"Do you wish to take action?"
