Chapter 335 System Warning! The host is devouring the planet's will in reverse.
The ice field collapsed, and the gates to the abyss opened.
That wasn't a teleportation array to another dimension, but a folded spatial passage that had been forcibly torn apart and led deep into the earth's crust.
Lu Sheng stepped in.
What hit me wasn't the expected sulfur and blood, but rather a... the stench of "rottenness."
There were no rock walls around, only a viscous, mercury-like, eerie green mist. Suspended within this mist were enormous, ancient skeletons, far beyond the logic of reality.
A feathered serpent ten thousand feet long, its skull still in the posture of roaring to the sky; a cyclops a thousand feet tall, its arm pointing directly towards the entrance of the passage, as if launching a final charge.
Their bones were not deathly white, but a grayish-brown color assimilated by the rules, with every inch of their bones engraved with innate divine runes of the laws.
This is a cemetery.
It is a graveyard that buries all mythical creatures from one era, or even several eras ago on Earth.
"Hiss—"
The surrounding eerie green mist seemed to have sensed the presence of living beings and began to surge violently.
They transformed into millions of tiny, green venomous snakes, which frantically burrowed into Lu Sheng's pores.
This is not a toxin at the physical level.
This is pollution from high-dimensional information flow, a poisonous rule capable of altering gene sequences and instantly turning a Spirit King-level powerhouse into a pile of rotten flesh.

[Rewrite failed.]
[WARNING: The host's genetic sequence is reversibly devouring 'Gaia's Wrath'!]
Lu Sheng hovered in mid-air, letting the thin green snakes writhe and thrash within his body. He even closed his eyes, savoring the sensation.
"It tastes good, a bit like minty wasabi, and it has a strong aftertaste."
He gave a fair assessment.
Immediately, the [Ancient Devouring Furnace] deep within his dantian began to operate with a roar.
The ashen gray millstone phantom rotated in reverse, generating an unreasonable and terrifying suction force. Those rule-based toxins that attempted to wreak havoc within his body were unable to offer the slightest resistance and were forcibly torn apart and crushed, transforming into the purest attribute-less spiritual energy.
"belch."
Lu Sheng let out a burp, and the black-gold imperial markings on his body shone even brighter.
He opened his eyes, and his double cross-shaped pupils no longer held disdain, but rather the satisfaction one would show when looking at a buffet.
He opened his mouth and took a deep breath into the dense, toxic fog surrounding him.
call--!!!
Like a whale sucking in water, the eerie green mist within a radius of a thousand meters was stretched into a giant tornado and poured into his mouth.

The body's resistance to toxins has increased to 95%.
"Dessert is finished, it's time for the main course."
Lu Sheng patted his belly and continued to descend deeper into the earth's core.
The further down you go, the more terrifying the size of the skeletons becomes, and the more intense the tragic and devastating aura becomes.
He finally understood why these ancient mythical beasts all charged outwards.
They are not fighting amongst themselves.
They are guarding something, trying to break through the surface to confront enemies from beyond the stars.
After passing through the forest of skeletons, the space ahead suddenly opened up.
The Earth's core.
What is churning is not magma, but pure, liquefied golden energy from the Earth's core.
In the center of this golden ocean, Lu Sheng saw that familiar figure.
A calico stray cat.
It sat perched on a floating black rock, its tail swishing leisurely back and forth.
This time, however, its body was no longer solid, but rather a phantom composed of countless faint golden specks of light, as if it might dissipate at any moment.
Behind it, an enormous black chain emerged from the void, piercing its core. The other end of the chain emanated a cold, lifeless stellar energy, unlike anything found on Earth.
"You've arrived."
The cat's phantom raised its head, its pupils, reflecting the star map, calmly gazing at Lu Sheng.
Its voice was no longer a sigh, but a grand resonance that combined the will of billions of living beings, resounding directly in the depths of Lu Sheng's soul.
"Aren't you curious? What exactly is this so-called 'Abyss'?"
Lu Sheng hovered at the edge of the golden ocean, his hands in his pockets, showing no surprise whatsoever.
"Traitors, rebels, ranches, diners," he said succinctly. "The stories on this planet are more exciting than I imagined."
"A story?" The illusory image of the calico cat seemed to chuckle, a human-like self-deprecation appearing on its cat face. "It's more like a will written billions of years ago."
It raised its paw and pointed at the swirling, regular poisonous mist around it.
"What do you think this is? An intrusion?"
"No."
"This is an antibody."
"It's a potent poison that this planet injected itself with in order to survive."
The sound, like a thunderclap at the dawn of creation, exploded in Lu Sheng's sea of consciousness.
"The Great Starry Sky Shelter, or in other words you can understand, the 'Harvest,' descends once every epoch."
"In the last era, the Immortal Qin used all the strength of their entire race to create the Prison Suppressing Demon Armor and the Star Fleet in an attempt to rebel. They failed."
"This time, it's my turn." The illusory figure of the calico cat slowly stood up. Although its form was illusory, it exuded a maternal resoluteness and tragic grandeur.
"I can't confront those 'diners' head-on. But I can turn this ranch into a deadly trap."
"I deliberately tore open the Earth's crust, drawing in the chaotic and filthy abyssal energy from the universe, allowing it to merge with my origin and transform all life on this planet. I filled every cell with the 'poison of rules' that can kill even gods."
"This is the truth of the abyss."
"It's not the enemy; it's the Earth's immune system. It's the chemotherapy regimen this planet chooses in its late stages of cancer."
"And those so-called Abyss Councils were nothing more than the first batch of 'white blood cells' that I induced. Unfortunately, they developed self-awareness and were even foolish enough to try to cooperate with cancer cells."
Lu Sheng remained silent.
He looked at the ancient skeletons charging into battle, at the swirling poisonous fog of rules, and then at the cat before him, nailed to the stars by chains, yet still plotting for eternity.
Everything makes sense now.
This is a plan that is even more insane and thorough than that of the Xianqin rebels.
perish together.
"The plan is good." Lu Sheng nodded, then changed the subject, a cold sneer flashing in his double-pointed pupils, "Unfortunately, chemotherapy often kills the patients themselves."
"That's right," the calico cat readily admitted. "My life force was almost exhausted, and the toxins I produced weren't potent enough. Until... you appeared."
Its gaze fell on Lu Sheng, a gaze that seemed to belong to a creator looking at the most perfect work, filled with admiration, but also with... the indifference of making the best use of something.
"The 'seed' of the Immortal Qin rebels, a perfect container that can devour and evolve infinitely."
"You are the final and most crucial ingredient in my plan."
"Your physical body has surpassed the limits of all living beings on this planet. Your soul can even devour the power of the stars."
The illusory figure of the calico cat took a few steps forward, its booming voice carrying an unquestionable command.
"Now, you've reached the end of your evolution."
"Abandon your self-awareness and offer up this perfect body."
"Let me refine you into the new 'Poison Source Core' of this planet."
"You will become the true 'Abyss,' to corrupt and devour the star fleets that are about to descend."
"This is your destiny. And also your supreme glory as a part of this planet."
