I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch
Chapter 780 - 780: 748. If there is fear, how to move forward?

[In the Grey Realm, there are no laws or morals, no gods or beliefs. It is a realm of devastation, teeming with overwhelming emotions of fear, which sparked Mu Qingtong's inspiration, leading to further comprehension of the fourth foundational rule—Heavenly Destiny—Fear—31%]

Xia Feng sensed the synchronized information, surprised at heart.

[Heavenly Destiny·Fear] is Miss Mu's fourth destiny, capable of using fear as a foundation to allow any non-living entity to evolve, gain intelligence, and grow. These new life forms will, driven by their instinct to avoid death, grow strong quickly just to survive!

Mu Qingtong referred to this ability simply as demonization.

But previously, this ability had always been unstable, with only a 1% chance to demonize a non-living entity after great effort, and within minutes, the life form would disintegrate, unable to maintain its survival state.

Therefore, it had little practical use.

But now, it seems Miss Mu had gained new insights, managing to rapidly evolve such a large number of non-living or low-intelligence life forms at once.

[With the help of the Demon·Basic Forest Demon, Mu Qingtong slew a Four-eyed Evil, causing 100T pain, you gain 10 power value points]

[Mu Qingtong enchanted a Crown Sparrow again, with the help of a Basic Sparrow Demon... slew a Five-eyed Calamity, causing 200T pain, you gain 20 power value points]

[Power Value +10+10+20+20.....]

[Due to the accelerated structuring of the fourth destiny, the rule of the first destiny—Brutality collapses....]

[Power Value +1...+10...+1+1]

The increases in power value were intermittent; the four rules born of the Heavenly Destiny Stone are mutually repulsive, making normal operation difficult, but Mu Qingtong did not mind these.

She had already gone berserk, the Evil Clan army felt the fear, all trampling on their kin's corpses to turn around and flee frantically.

Yet Mu Qingtong did not plan to let them escape, summoning a silver-haired girl with a scythe in hand, the girl's expression indifferent as she entered harvest mode.

Watching her rampage widely, growing more excited as she killed, Xia Feng sighed inwardly, feeling an inexplicable urgency.

It seemed he needed to accelerate the progress of the Fourth Demon Power·Master of Calamity Realm, or he might fall behind Miss Mu.

"So, what you're saying is, you want to stay in the Grey Realm for a while?"

"Depends on the situation." The black-dressed woman stood atop a mountain of bones, flicking her bloodied knife as the dawn of the East reflected in her cool golden eyes, "The Empire's reach can't extend to the Grey Realm, and with no gods, it's very suitable for me to conduct research on the Heavenly Destiny Stone here."

Yet Xia Feng had his concerns, "I've heard that the Grey Realm has two very powerful cult forces known as the Divine Evil Association and Holy Star Mountain, both led by Sage-level leaders who have entrenched here for a thousand years. Are you sure you can confront them head-on?"

"Just Sages."

"Furthermore, how can one advance if they are afraid?"

The purple rhomboid crystal retracted into the black-dressed woman's forehead, her expression calm, "I govern the law of fear, but how could I be governed by fear."

As she spoke, she seemed to think of something and flicked the bone hairpin behind her hair, with a questioning hum,

"Mr. Xia, I sense your fear and worry, are you afraid I'll leave you?"

"....."

I'm afraid if you die, I won't have anyone to synchronize strength with! Xia Feng tugged the corner of his eye, "Alright, just be careful yourself."

On the mountain of corpses, the black dress and silver hair danced in the wind, the woman nodded slightly, "The fruit position of the Moon Time Divine Domain requires three main spiritual materials and hundreds of auxiliary spiritual materials. There's a forbidden place in the Grey Realm where 'Time Soil' can be born, I'll try to obtain it."

"Once the Sumeru Battle is over, come to the Grey Realm, and we can form an S-Class fruit position."

The main spiritual materials are the Taiji Fruit, 3 Moonlight Roses, and 3 grams of Time Soil each.

The birth environment for Time Soil is very special, even rarer than Moonlight Rose, not easily obtainable.

However, with Miss Mu and him searching for the required spiritual materials together, the efficiency should indeed be higher.

But compared to finding Time Soil, how to reduce the 88% high mortality rate for forming an S-Class fruit position to 4% is the core issue.

Jiang Qiue had previously suggested a feasible method for co-development over four months, but only if he could knock Miss Mu out and force it...

In the following days, Xia Feng persisted in advancing through the Evil River, trying to locate traces of the Evil Spirit Pearl.

Unfortunately, this silent world contained nothing besides his blazing white humanoid figure.

The blazing white humanoid hovered in the void, frowning as he looked towards the distant darkness.

Xia Feng always felt that if he could find the end, he might uncover some secrets of the Evil River, but the place seemed boundless, endless.

And over these twenty-some days, Mu Qingtong had already secured a foothold in the Grey Realm, subduing several medium-sized cult forces with thunderous means, constructing a super-large underground laboratory, and collecting several level 6 auxiliary spiritual materials needed for forming an S-Class fruit position, all double in number, with stunning efficiency.

Simultaneously, she made steady progress in refining the rules of the Heavenly Destiny Stone, successfully endowing a stone with life, with the stone monster surviving for a full three days before dying.

Don't underestimate these three days, as such demonized creatures surviving for half an hour used to be the limit.

Moreover, as the experiments progressed, Stone Monster #1350 even showed signs of evolving into a monkey form, which startled Xia Feng greatly.

Unfortunately, it still failed in the end, and Stone Monster #1350 was sealed in the experimental discard area.

As the days passed, Xia Feng never found where the source of the Evil Spirit Pearl was.

Until the thirtieth day, Jiang Qiue had almost completed the method for reshaping his body.

With a thought, he activated the Green Bone Tracking Skill.

Then he felt himself lying in the middle of a soft infant crib, enveloped in slightly slick soft green fur, in a fetal state.

According to his first-time experience, this infant crib was actually a segment of Jiang Qiue's tail transformed by secret arts.

It could help him reshape his body.

Simultaneously, he found over a dozen drops of bright gold blood circulating inside him, moving faster and faster until they were shadowless, the fetus's development accelerated as if sped up by time—

The gums formed, bone cells expanded, limbs shaped, and the body grew to the size of a newborn.

Meanwhile.

[Revival time remaining: 1 second...0—]

[Choose revival location—

1. Nightmare Spirit Domain·Nightmare Tribe

2. Calamity Spirit Sea Domain·Calamity Spirit Tribe

3. Feast Flower Sea Domain: Flower Ghost Tribe

....]

Revival landing points are of two types, an Evil Demon Statue or an intact body.

Only the Evil Realm has Evil Demon Statues, and he wasn't intending to return there. With a thought.

The darkness rushed at him like a tide, his thoughts and consciousness seemed yanked abruptly into the abyss by a mysterious and grand force, plummeting into the unknown dark.

[Three marks exist in your soul: 'Tong', 'Si', and 'Master of Guardian Slaves'. Restore?]

[Restore—]

His groggy consciousness and senses gradually cleared, reborn once again in an infant form, making Xia Feng feel as if in a different life.

Curiously, he lifted his arm, plump and white, his small fist tightening and loosening, the sensation rather uncanny.
