Chapter 101

Time dragged on, each second a torment—

Yang An's face was pale, cold sweat beading at his temples. His spirit sea was nearing exhaustion, leaving him feeling dizzy and faint. He couldn't help but curse under his breath.

Damn it, Yavik in the original novel wasn't just crazy, he was a total psychopath!

Here in the "Queen Insect's Heart," he indeed saw what Yavik had mentioned—"fated memories"—but the perspective was a little strange.

It seemed to be narrated from Yavik's point of view, and yet, there were things he clearly wasn't shy about showing.

The reason Chang Ningxi never appeared in the original story was because he had died early on. Yavik went to great lengths to get close to the protagonist only for two things: the "Anchor Source" and the Ganard family heirloom, the "Pupa Grass." He wanted to use his eerie talent to revive Chang Ningxi, which required continuous upgrades...

Wait, that's not the main point. Yang An squatted down, his face twisted in disbelief. Who on earth could have imagined that Yavik had some twisted necrophilic obsession in his past life???

No wonder Yavik said he "especially missed" that feeling. Well, how could the dead and the living... be the same?

But then again, did Yavik's bizarre powers eventually manage to revive someone? His intuition told him there were signs, but to know for sure, he'd have to keep watching.

Yang An slowly regulated his breathing, pressing a hand against his throbbing temples. Taking a deep breath, he continued forward.

Right now, it felt like he was playing a game, battling small "monsters" at each checkpoint to uncover the "treasure" within.

—But he was going through all this trouble killing insects, only to see Yavik's memories???

Yang An sighed. Well, it seemed the original "treasure" had been replaced by Yavik, and now it was just a bunch of confusing illusions that lured people upward, gradually leading them to lose their minds and fall into a trance from which there was no escape.

Moreover...

Clang—

The previously dead insects rose again, stumbling toward Yang An once more.

Realizing he couldn't linger in this open space, he stopped hesitating, pushed open the heavy door, and leaped into the blinding white light.

Yang An, already accustomed to the sensation, waited for the weightlessness to pass. Soon, the soft sensation of cotton seemed to cradle his back.

...

Yang An walked out of the "memory" with a blank expression. To be honest, Yavik was ruthless, ultimately turning his previous world upside down, even forcing the "World Consciousness" to speak to him—

By extension, doesn't that mean this world has one too?

Yang An rubbed his stiff face vigorously, trying to pull himself together. He straightened up as the vine on his wrist coiled up his hand, ready to strike, as another wave of insect armies roared and slowly approached him.

Without hesitation, he silently slaughtered the insects, their corpses piling high, greenish-blue viscous fluid bursting in the air. When the last insect fell, the air became deathly still.

Yang An knew the battle was temporarily over, but he could keenly feel that his spiritual power and abilities were depleting faster and recovering slower.

"So, the Queen Insect's illusion intends to drain us dry?" He pressed his lips together. In all honesty, his spiritual power was far above average, yet after passing just five doors, he already felt exhausted.
