This Spiritual Energy is Lethal!-Chapter 222 - Chen Ke’s Plan

Chapter 222: Chapter 222 Chen Ke’s Plan

“It’s strange, isn’t it? By the sea, yet you can’t hear the sound of the waves,” Diana said.

However, Chen Ke stood still, gazing at the darkness ahead without a word, as if he hadn’t heard Diana’s words, which gave Diana a bad feeling.

“Chen Ke…?” Diana called softly, but still, Chen Ke did not respond.

While others were still in the dark, Ying Baiyi already knew the seriousness of the situation. He seemed somewhat anxious as he quickly walked up to Chen Ke’s side. After hesitating for a moment, he still lifted his hand, wanting to pat Chen Ke on the shoulder.

At that moment, Chen Ke suddenly turned his head to look at him, giving Ying Baiyi a start.

“Do you know about this?” Chen Ke suddenly asked.

“What…?” Ying Baiyi was stunned.

“Right in front of us, look, this world…” Chen Ke was also somewhat at a loss.

“I knew it was going to get worse, but I didn’t expect it to be this bad,” Ying Baiyi said helplessly.

Their conversation was cryptic, leaving the others unable to grasp the meaning.

After Sam steadied the bespectacled girl behind him, he looked up at Chen Ke and asked, “What’s the situation now…? Could it get any worse than not being able to return?”

Chen Ke glanced at Sam, turned around, and walked towards Diana. In her puzzled gaze, he suddenly lifted her onto his back.

“What the hell have you guys discovered… Ying Baiyi? What happened?” Diana asked, lying on Chen Ke’s back.

“Given your current mental state, I’m not sure if I should say it…” Ying Baiyi shook his head.

“Damn it, stop beating around the bush. It’s death either way, how much worse could it be?” said a survivor holding a gun.

Ying Baiyi looked at Chen Ke, seeking his opinion.

Chen Ke, with Diana on his back, turned around, took a look at everyone, and then slowly started speaking, “This world is slowly disappearing.”

As his words fell, everyone looked at each other, puzzled, as if they had yet to understand Chen Ke’s meaning.

“Disappearing…?” The survivors murmured to themselves, also looking towards the pitch-black sea. At first glance, there didn’t seem to be anything unusual, but after combining it with what Chen Ke had said, they all understood their current predicament.

“Holy fuck… the sea… it seems to have vanished up ahead…” someone exclaimed.

“It’s not just the sea… even the moon and the stars are gone…” Ying Baiyi said helplessly.

Hearing Ying Baiyi say this, everyone’s spirits fell to rock bottom… and the slightly worried look on Chen Ke’s face also deepened everyone’s unease and despair.

Since entering this world, Chen Ke had not shown any signs of excessive panic or other emotions, but now, even he was starting to frown, a clear sign of the gravity of the situation.

They needed to quickly find a strong enough monster and obtain a soul, so they could escape.

Chen Ke had always been leisurely, relying entirely on his uniqueness. He was a perpetual motion machine that could operate at full capacity 24 hours a day without eating or drinking. As long as he had enough killing intent, he was theoretically immortal.

The original plan was simple: in this world, full of monsters and killing intent, slowly find a powerful monster, obtain its soul, and then escape. But now, an unforeseen catastrophe had occurred.

This world had a god, and this god was slowly consuming the world…

This was the first time Chen Ke had witnessed a deity. He had been a staunch atheist, but now, it was time to change his old beliefs.

In most myths and legends, gods are creatures with human forms and immense abilities, like Thunder God Thor, Heavenly Father Odin, Divine’s King Zeus, and the God familiar to and cherished by the Western world’s people.

However, from what Chen Ke had seen, deities did not consider human aesthetics…

They were formless, completely absent of substance, and you wouldn’t even know what they looked like…

They spread silently, turning the entire world into eternal darkness.

Is it possible to defeat a deity?

Chen Ke had entertained the thought, but quickly dismissed it. How could he fight something that didn’t exist?

“Chen Ke… what do we do now…?” Diana’s voice trembled.

Her self-confidence and the rationality that came with being an agent of the Administration Bureau had completely vanished. Now, Diana was nothing more than a severely injured woman who could only lie down and wait for death without others’ help.

“We follow the road ahead, at least we can move away from the edge where the world is disappearing,” Chen Ke said.

“And then what…?” Ying Baiyi asked.

“Then pray that we encounter something strong enough to kill,” Chen Ke replied.

“Chen Ke, tell us, what exactly is your method to get back? We need hope right now,” Sam said.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

“Chen Ke… it might be inappropriate to say this now… but… I’m scared…” Diana leaned close to Chen Ke’s neck and whispered softly.

“I’m not afraid of dying, but I’m afraid of waiting to die… If you really have a way, then please tell us quickly. And please, don’t you dare leave me behind…” Diana said, her face flushing.

Chen Ke sighed. Everyone was breaking down, even a strong woman like Diana had become weak.

“If you’re just trying to comfort us… Chen Ke… kill me… right here. I won’t blame you. I’d rather be killed by you than be driven mad by this world…” Diana said with her eyes closed, her voice filled with shame.

The formless deity was still slowly engulfing the world, Chen Ke did not know its exact size or distance, he didn’t even know its precise location—maybe this entity was starting to consume the world from right under their feet?

None of that mattered now. The most urgent task was to hunt down a powerful monster. Among those present, Chen Ke believed that he was the only one who knew that this phenomenon was caused by a deity.

He pulled out an orange Holy Diamond from his pocket and showed it to everyone.

When Diana saw Chen Ke take out the Holy Diamond, she opened her mouth in surprise.

“This is… the Holy Diamond. It’s the hammer and spear that Ying Baiyi used to have…” Chen Ke explained.

Everyone was drawn to the Holy Diamond in Chen Ke’s hand. Diana hadn’t expected Chen Ke to have such an object. She suppressed the mixed feelings of surprise and confusion in her heart and waited for Chen Ke to finish.

“Mine is a different color from the one Ying Baiyi used… because it’s not a weapon. Um… I won’t go into the specifics, but Diana and Ying Baiyi should understand,” Chen Ke said.

Ying Baiyi nodded. He was slightly calmer than the others because Chen Ke had shared the escape plan with him.

“This is called the Blasphemous Dagger… Its purpose is…” Chen Ke began slowly.

“…to open a door,” Diana said, looking at Chen Ke with surprise, completing his sentence.

For ordinary people to possess a Holy Relic was an extraordinary event, often involving smuggling of Holy Relics and illegal Spiritual Energy crimes, and the Blasphemous Dagger was even more dangerous.

“Open a door? You mean, this thing can just conjure a door here and send us back?” Sam said excitedly.

“It’s not that simple, Sam… The dagger alone isn’t enough; it requires three of them and a ritual to be used…” Diana looked at Sam.
