The massive explosion echoed throughout the entire “Land of Finality.”

The sweeping shockwave almost shattered all the remaining glass in the city.

All the “Participants” standing at the “Zodiac” doors first felt the ground shake violently, and a few seconds later, the enormous sound reached their ears.

If they hadn’t opened their eyes and still been able to see the red, anyone would have thought this city had already been destroyed.

“It’s time.” Qi Xia stood up after the explosion dissipated, surveying the several people around him. “Let’s go.”

Everyone nodded. They took one last look at the dilapidated building before them, as if looking at this scenery for the last time, then walked through the “door” one by one.

At this moment, all the “Extreme Path” teams seemed to have a tacit understanding as they boarded the “Train” with the “Zodiac” beside them.

Every person’s expression was exceptionally solemn. After all, they knew what was waiting for them ahead.

Facing just one “Divine Beast” had already been this difficult. If they encountered all the “Earth-level” and “Heaven-level” ones… what would the situation be like?

However, everyone had already run out of options to retreat.

The despairing life had continued for a long time. Even death couldn’t free them from the “Land of Finality.”

If that was truly the case… what harm was there in dying on the “Train”?

Regardless of whether this plan succeeded or not, these unbearable days had to end.

Chu Tianqiu took a deep breath, turned his head to give Zhang Shan a look, and the two stepped forward to the “door.”

Qin Dingdong stood to the side with her arms crossed over her chest, turning her head to continuously look into the distance.

“Yo… esteemed leaders…” Di Shu squinted his eyes and looked at Chu Tianqiu in the lead. “Have you decided to leave now?”

“That explosion just now was like some kind of sudden signal.” Chu Tianqiu pondered for a moment and said, “I think it’s time.”

“Very well…” Di Shu slowly bent down and extended his hand in a “please” gesture. “Distinguished guests, please enter ‘Avici Hell.'”

Jin Yuanxun was also standing behind the three at this moment, but he was just staring at the distant “door” without moving.

Chu Tianqiu and Zhang Shan steadied their minds and walked through the door one after another. Li Xiangling and Little Glasses quietly watched the two leave.

Next came Qin Dingdong and Di Shu. All four people disappeared from where they stood.

Little Glasses and Li Xiangling waited a few seconds. After confirming there were no problems, they turned around to look for Jin Yuanxun, only to discover that Jin Yuanxun had also disappeared.

“Eh…?” Little Glasses was stunned. “Where’s Jin Yuanxun?”

Li Xiangling also realized the situation seemed off. Jin Yuanxun had clearly just been standing here.

“This is bad…” Little Glasses turned his head toward the portal with a worried expression. “Doesn’t this kid’s ‘Leap’ only reach ‘places within sight’? Now he…”

……

When Wei Yang arrived at Zhu Que’s venue, all that remained at the scene was an enormous crater that looked like a meteor impact site.

Thick smoke billowed nearby, as if some missile had landed here and destroyed half the street. At the scene, severed limbs and shredded flesh could be vaguely seen, but it was completely impossible to distinguish how many people had originally been here.

Was this the extent of what “Echo” could achieve…?

He and the thousand-plus “Natives” behind him stood silently in place.

At this moment, even “Mind Reading” couldn’t tell him what exactly had happened.

“Zhu Que… is dead?” Wei Yang asked somewhat uncertainly.

If Zhu Que was dead… then the “Natives” behind him…

Wei Yang slowly turned his head around. What greeted him were over a thousand gazes.

Those gazes were all flickering at this moment, as if receiving some incredible news.

Seeing this scene, Wei Yang actually took a slow step backward.

In the “Land of Finality”… how many precedents were there of “Natives” regaining their sanity?

As far as he knew, there should have been none.

As long as Qinglong was still alive and Zhu Que was still alive, the sanity taken away by “Soul Seizing” could never be returned to its owner.

After all, this was not only a way to consolidate upper-level rule, but also their means of toying with humans.

But what exactly would these “Natives'” attitude be toward him?

In order to control these “Natives,” he had exhausted all methods of physical and mental torture on them.

Now if they had regained their sanity… what would their attitude toward him be?

Since he had never experienced a similar incident, Wei Yang couldn’t predict at all what would happen next.

“This is…”

A “Native” man who was first to regain his sanity slowly spoke.

“I seem to…”

The man looked down at his own body, feeling that the situation seemed a bit strange.

He felt as if he had lost his memory and had just remembered why he appeared here.

But this feeling seemed not quite like amnesia. All the days he had spent before were vivid in his mind. He seemed to have become a child whose intelligence hadn’t developed, always following an adult’s actions.

“An… adult…?”

The man slowly raised his head and looked at Wei Yang before him.

Wei Yang didn’t know what the man’s attitude toward him actually was. He could only pretend to be nonchalant and look back with his gaze.

Immediately after, more and more “Natives” began to show light in their eyes.

They were no longer the dull, expressionless walking corpses, but real people, one by one.

What Wei Yang hadn’t expected was… the thousand-plus people before him were now exceptionally quiet. They all raised their heads to look at him, yet not a single person opened their mouth to speak.

Why would they keep staring at him… without saying a word?

“Wait a moment…” Wei Yang’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Although he didn’t understand the principle behind “Natives” regaining their sanity, he understood human nature.

Over these years, he had undoubtedly been the nightmare of all of them.

In order to train these “Natives” who were like beasts, he had bestowed upon them the deepest fear. Although these people’s sanity had returned, if nothing unexpected happened…

The “fear” still remained.

Their subconsciousness had all been tormented by him to the point of being riddled with wounds. Even if they could now think independently, there must definitely be a voice in their minds telling them they couldn’t disobey him.

This abstract feeling was just like the ruling methods of Tianlong and Qinglong.

As long as the deepest fear had been implanted in everyone’s hearts, then it would be absolutely impossible for anyone to lead a rebellion.

The batch of “Natives” before him were clearly a group of people caught in the cracks. In their hearts, they had both “fear” of Tianlong and Qinglong, as well as “fear” of himself.

Now it was just a matter of seeing whose “fear” ran deeper.

“What are you looking at?” Wei Yang asked aloud.

Hearing these words, the several rows of “Natives” in front actually unconsciously lowered their heads and moved their gazes away.

“Good… excellent!” Wei Yang thought to himself.

These people actually hadn’t thought about rushing forward together to tear him apart, which would have completely liberated them.

It was just like during wartime, when two soldiers with guns could escort hundreds of prisoners—equally absurd.
