Chapter 938: 937. It’s pretty comfortable to step on. Chapter 938: 937. It’s pretty comfortable to step on. “Apparently, if The Dark One’s initial thought was to trap Lu Ban here, then He probably chose the wrong method.”

“He might not have anticipated the involvement of other Evil Gods, nor expected that these Chosen by Gods would actually sacrifice themselves just to free Lu Ban from this Illusion Realm.”

“Of course, having dealt with a Supreme God like this before, Lu Ban could probably understand the temperaments of these Evil Gods fairly well.”

“It’s possible that The Dark One had anticipated all of this, including Lu Ban’s escape from this world.”

“This Creator might simply have wanted to witness Lu Ban’s struggles in this world and once again send off other Chosen by Gods. That’s also a possibility.”

“Just like many people who cry watching a movie, they not only don’t stop watching that movie, but they also go online to find how others react to the movie and laugh happily at their tears.”

“Anyway, Lu Ban now held the key to breaking the situation.”

“I want to look around here a bit more.”

Lu Ban signaled to Amber not to harm Shia and then glanced at the monsters.

“Should these monsters be dealt with?”

Amber nodded.

The next moment, countless dark shapes charged at the white monsters.

The combat power of these dark shapes apparently far exceeded that of the white monsters. Despite their greater numbers, the white creatures were gradually devoured and, within less than fifteen minutes, all the white monsters on the ground had been cleared away, the rest escaping into the sea where they were pursued by the dark shapes.

“I’m curious, since this world was created by Him based on a Foreign Domain, how exactly did He manage it?”

Lu Ban asked again.

This point might seem trivial, but to Lu Ban, it was very important.

Because this implied that at The Dark One’s level, one could completely use a deserted Foreign Domain to create a relatively normal world.

“I don’t know. He hasn’t told me about it.”

Amber shook her head, then looked somewhat cautiously at Shia.

“The case from ten years ago, and that Jade Pendant, what do they have to do with it?”

Lu Ban asked again.

“They should be related to them.”

Amber pointed to the dark shapes beside her.

The dark shape slightly turned its head, almost like an endearing husky.

“So you took the Jade Pendant?”

“Yes.”

Amber nodded obediently.

“That was something He left behind, to bring you here and witness this entire setup.”

Lu Ban thought for a moment; as an Outer God like Charlotte, time travel wasn’t a problem, and being an incarnation capable of contending with The Dark One, it’s normal for her to intervene in this world’s operation.

As for why she didn’t directly help Lu Ban.

He understood clearly.

Though Charlotte seemed relatively friendly towards him, she was ultimately a Spectator.

Whether Lu Ban existed or not, it wouldn’t significantly impact Charlotte herself.

It’s like encountering a cat on the street. Normally, you might feed it some ham and pat its head, looking quite affectionate, but if that cat gets into a fight with another cat one day, you would just stand by and watch, not risking a scratch by intervening.

So, when The Dark One captured Lu Ban, Charlotte probably just watched with a spectator’s mindset, feeling it’s about time to intervene.

This also confirmed that as long as one doesn’t deviate from the script, even if Lu Ban is powerful, he’s ultimately just a plaything of the Outer Gods.

“What should we do now?”

Shia also looked warily at Amber. She didn’t fully grasp the topic Lu Ban and Amber were discussing, but she could generally guess that it was probably about the mastermind behind these events.

“This island should be a projection from the past. Ten years ago, it was abandoned due to a sacrifice ritual.”

Amber continued.

Lu Ban finally understood what had happened on the island.

Likely ten years ago, when the Zou Changyu Couple came here, a Sacrifice Ritual was conducted to Summon Evil Gods, which then summoned these white monsters, killing all the island’s residents and leaving the island deserted.

Pollution caused the island to exhibit anomalies. All the tourists and islanders Lu Ban and his group encountered were phantoms of the past; time and space here were in disarray. Cui Siter and Lu Ban had just experienced events at the inn that had occurred long ago.

The unfortunate innkeeper and the tragedy of his mutated child kept replaying here, endlessly.

The tourists and waitstaff at the bar were the same, having once turned on each other due to pollution.

Charlotte and The Dark One were like two directors, each insistent on adding their own elements to the predetermined plot, eventually leading the story in an unpredictable direction.

“These boats are actually fake, and attempting to leave by boat draws those white monsters.”

Amber continued, pausing for a moment.

“If you want to reach the nearest island, you can rely on these guys.”

She gestured towards the shadows.

“…”

Shia looked at these shadows, unsure if Amber was joking.

“Are you serious?”

She confirmed.

Though Amber looked like she indeed wanted to kill her, Shia could tell that as long as Lu Ban was there, Amber wouldn’t do anything to her.

“Yeah, actually they are quite comfortable to step on, quite soft.”

Amber said, lifting her foot to show, but it only drew attention to her pale and tender feet, completely disregarding the actual feel of those shadowy monsters.

Lu Ban tried stepping on them.

Indeed, they were soft, like a sofa.

And these shadows had strong load-bearing capacity, showing no signs of collapsing under weight.

“Come.”

Lu Ban reached out his hand to Shia.

Shia hesitated for a moment before taking Lu Ban’s hand and stepping onto the shadow monsters.

Amber glanced at their joined hands and said nothing.

The shadow monsters quickly began to squirm.

Shia almost lost her balance and fell, but Lu Ban quickly caught him.

“Strange, I was standing quite stably?”

Lu Ban advised Shia to bend slightly and stand more firmly.

“Hmph.”

Amber only snorted, leading countless shadows forward on the waves.

Lu Ban looked back at the island.

The entire island was shrouded in mist and soon disappeared without a trace.

The long night was finally about to end, and as dawn approached, the shadows finally reached the nearby island beach.

To an outsider, Lu Ban and his companions looked as if they were walking on water, advancing through the waves.

Fortunately, they encountered no fishermen, so there was no need for Amber to deal with any witnesses.

Of course, even if someone had seen them, they wouldn’t think they had encountered monsters; they would rather think it was a dream before waking up.

On the beach, the shadow monsters sank into the sea and were submerged by the water. Amber stepped onto the sand and then remembered she was barefoot.

“I’ll carry you.”

Lu Ban offered his hand to Amber.

Amber hesitated for a moment before nodding her head, and Lu Ban carried her in one swift motion.

Shia stayed quiet, just silently watching.

The sun rose from the sea, casting golden rays.

The three of them walked towards the rising sun.
