And those four evil eyes, ears like the wings of a bat, that massive body—every glance made Kuwei feel as if his spirit had been trampled upon once more.

That awe-inspiring figure, Kuwei felt that he might have heard of it before.

In the Foreign Domain, there are often terrifying legends circulating about those great beings, the existence of the Ancient Overlords.

Among them, Kuwei had indeed heard similar rumors.

He heard the name mentioned by people in a movie.

Fang Geng.

Lord of the Mountains.

Upon hearing this name, Kuwei felt his consciousness plunge into a cauldron of boiling oil for a moment.

The intense heat made Kuwei shiver through and through; he knew his will couldn’t withstand such torment. Fortunately, he was lucky because the moment he saw that Divine Idol, Kuwei’s primary sensory organ had already been destroyed.

Like a human going blind, Kuwei did not continue to witness the scene. The fog rolling across his body finally subsided after a bout of tumult.

Even the brutal and cruel text of the System felt exceptionally tender to Kuwei.

Nevertheless, the Misty City people do not have just a pair of eyes like humans.

The Misty City people’s primary sensory perception relies on their own grey mist. Under normal conditions, this mist continuously disperses into the environment, extending like their own body. When the mist dilutes to a certain extent, it becomes imperceptible—that is the limit of their vision.

Now, the majority of Kuwei’s body had been scorched, leaving less than a third functioning normally.

Kuwei’s body had been polluted by the Foreign Domain, giving him especially strong regeneration abilities. Combined with the innate strength of the Misty City people, he could recover immediately as before when facing the majority of enemies and monsters, as long as he was not killed.

However, this power now became a shackle.

Kuwei’s vision recovered in less than thirty seconds.

He saw the Divine Idol once again.

“Ah!!!”

Kuwei let out a scream, drawing the attention of many people.

Of course, there were not few who screamed in fright due to the high inspiration emanating from Fang Geng’s Divine Idol, so everyone just glanced at this bulky yet timid fellow and did not pay much attention.

Only the woman sitting next to Kuwei looked at him strangely, suppressing the urge to speak.

At this moment, Kuwei was like tumbling in a boiling sea, his whole being tormented.

He felt as if he were being roasted at one moment and as if he were in an ice cave the next, occasionally turning over.

This was far more difficult than any hardship he had faced before.

After all, his previous tasks were merely to go to certain places and kill a number of people. If the enemy was strong, then Kuwei could employ various means to achieve the goal.

But now, the objective was quite clear and simple: just to sit here and watch a movie.

No shortcuts, no cunning tactics.

Enduring the pain was the only way to complete the mission.

Kuwei even began to consider giving up, abandoning the mission.

However, the tasks given by the Chosen by Gods cannot be abandoned; one can only complete the mission or die.

By choosing this mission, it was no longer possible for Kuwei to emerge unscathed.

He had to grit his teeth and press on.

Fortunately, Lu Ban was by no means a devil, and the film didn’t focus solely on Fang Geng’s Divine Idol, but also provided a few shots of the corpses worshipping it.

Looking at that corpse, Kuwei felt much better, and even the ghastly skeleton seemed to become more elegant and handsome.

He averted his gaze, while healing himself he continued with the task.

Sanity had already dropped a lot, and collapse was only a step away.

Although the Misty City people naturally have a certain degree of Pollution tolerance and don’t lose too much Sanity upon witnessing those Indescribable things, there was a limit.

A decrease of five points at once was unprecedented for Kuwei.

He had less than fifteen points of Sanity left. If this happened a few more times, he’d have to consider not whether he could complete the task, but whether he could survive, or whether he could die in his current state.

Kuwei sat in the cinema with all his sensory organs blocked.

To others, he appeared as if he was asleep.

Despite the strangely alluring nature of those polluted scenes, which continually drove Kuwei to open his eyes and prick up his ears to watch and listen, he stopped himself with strong willpower.

The Mity City people’s anthems are anthems of courage.

Kuwei was not fighting alone at this moment; the wills of the Misty City ancestors, the warriors who had fought against the invaders from the Foreign Domain, were spiritually possessing him.

As long as he could complete this task, Kuwei would garner a great deal of rewards. Moreover, he must bring back the information about this Foreign Domain; otherwise, other Chosen by Gods would face an even more tragic fate than him when they arrived.

Thinking of the fellow Walkers he had met in previous tasks, Kuwei held on. His rationality was slowly burning away. He felt as if he was in a void, unable to find a direction to move forward.

Time ticked away minute by minute, and Kuwei felt that victory was within his grasp.

Just then, the woman next to him touched Kuwei gently with her hand.

“Sir?”

The touch and words of the woman caused the tensed Kuwei to explode like a detonated bomb, releasing everything he had repressed.

His senses were restored, and now, they were more sensitive than before due to the prior blocking. He saw the images in the film.

They were countless Worms being smashed out from Fang Geng’s Divine Idol.

Those writhing creatures instantly pierced through Kuwei’s will, causing his cognition to burst open.

[You have witnessed the Clan of the Ancient Overlord, Sanity -5]

In his field of vision, the System’s cruel and brutal message was written indifferently.

Kuwei’s eyes were full of bloodshot, and he turned to the woman beside him.

“Sorry, I saw you were asleep, so I thought to remind you,” the woman said.

I’d like to thank your whole family now!

In an instant, Kuwei felt a strong urge to flay the woman alive, to torture her using the most cruel methods of Misty City, making her wish for death.

But the remaining less than ten points of Sanity stopped him.

The film was about to end, he couldn’t falter now.

Endure momentarily, and all will be calm.

Kuwei didn’t respond to the woman, just sat up straight with a face ashen.

His mind was filled with thoughts of slaughtering everyone in the cinema with that last bit of time before the return, after completing the task. Even if he couldn’t overpower them, he wanted them to know his fierceness.

The next moment, the scene in the film shifted, and a Temple emerged before Kuwei’s eyes.
