Chapter Eleven: God's Perspective

  "Xuan, are you okay? What happened to you?" Sarah also rushed over and shouted at Xiao Xuan who was still soaking in the blood pool.

  Previously, a monster suddenly appeared and took away Xiao Xuan, which really scared her. However, when Sarah ran out of the corridor and arrived at the edge of the blood pool again, she found that the monster was floating on the surface of the blood like it was dead, while Xiao Xuan was soaking in the blood pool. This made Sarah extremely worried. Now, the only person she could rely on and trust was Xiao Xuan. She didn't want anything to happen to Xiao Xuan, and Xiao Xuan's previous thoughtful care for her had also been felt deeply. This allowed her to find warmth in life again after losing her husband and daughter.

  Of course, Sarah would never have thought that Xiao Xuan's protection of her was only because the main god's "main line task" required him to do so. Otherwise, Sarah's fate could be the same as Zhao Jian and Beisi Lei.

  Xiao Xuan no longer had the strength to shout, so he could only weakly wave his hand to indicate that he was still alive. Otherwise, he feared that this woman would do something extreme again. If she hadn't ignored him and come over on her own initiative earlier, he wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state.

  However, since his shoulders were almost pierced by that variant of the man-eating demon just now, he could still feel a heart-piercing pain when he moved his arm, especially after soaking in this filthy and nauseating blood. Xiao Xuan felt that it was almost impossible for his wound not to become infected with these things, but as long as he took Sarah away from the cave within a certain period of time and completed the main quest, he could immediately return to the main god space. At that time, all the damage and physical injuries he suffered in the character space would be directly restored under the brilliance of the main god, so he wouldn't have to worry about the aftermath of infection anymore.

  Just as Xiao Xuan was about to swim back to the shore of the Blood Pool, his gaze suddenly caught sight of something. The corpse of the Variant Cannibal that had been shot in the head by Su Mu Ran from a distance and had extremely bad luck began to slowly decompose, with wisps of white smoke rising up from its body.

  The decomposition speed was very fast, and gradually, the skin and flesh of this variant cannibal demon began to dissolve slowly, revealing white bones. Moreover, as the decomposition continued, a nauseating stench began to emanate from around it. However, since Xiao Xuan was in the blood pool, the surrounding area already reeked of fresh blood, so even if more stench came out, he could ignore it easily.

  Xiao Xuan stayed here without hurrying back, because he felt that if he lingered a little longer, he would discover something special. This was not based on any analysis, but purely his own premonition. Human premonitions can be absurd at times, yet sometimes surprisingly accurate. And for Xiao Xuan, who possessed a pair of extraordinary eyes, he trusted his sixth sense even more during certain moments.

  Su Mo Ran stood at the edge of the blood pool, seeing Xiao Xuan still lingering in the center of the blood pool. A puzzled expression appeared in her eyes, and Xiao Xuan also didn't show any signs that he was unable to swim back and needed help. So Su Mo Ran just stood there, not making any moves. Perhaps, deep down, she believed that this man's actions were never without reason, and he still lingered beside the ugly corpse, which should also have its own logic.

  Sarah had just seen Xiao Xuan respond to her gesture, and she felt slightly relieved. However, seeing that Xiao Xuan still hadn't returned, she couldn't help but feel worried again, worrying if Xiao Xuan had encountered some trouble once more. Nevertheless, she was also aware that she absolutely couldn't act rashly, because just earlier, she had almost put Xiao Xuan in harm's way.

  Xiao Xuan's gaze remained fixed on the corpse of this mutated man-eating demon, watching as its flesh and blood slowly dissolved, leaving only a skeleton behind. Finally, an unusual metallic glow caught Xiao Xuan's attention, and he saw that on one of the demon's finger bones was a dark golden ring!

  The variant cannibal, almost completely reduced to a skeleton, no longer had enough load-bearing surface and was unable to continue floating on the blood surface, slowly sinking down, gradually revealing only a stump of finger bone and the dark golden ring on that finger bone.

  This scene, this picture, this perspective is exactly the same as what Xiao Xuan saw in the eyes of the main god in the divine space before!

  "It turned out that the ring was not on the finger bone of a skeleton at the bottom of the blood pool, but had been on the finger of that mutated cannibal monster all along. Previously, due to the concealment by hair and skin, Xiao Xuan did not notice the ring on its hand until it finally dissolved into dry bones for unknown reasons, revealing the dark gold ring."

  Xiao Xuan didn't hesitate, stretching out his hand to take the dark gold ring off the finger bone. The ring was very light, as if it had no weight at all. If taken into real society, most of the owners of gold shops would probably sneer after holding this ring:

  "It's so light, how can it be gold? It must be a plastic toy."

  However, Xiao Xuan would never think so, because when this ring was placed in his palm, he felt a chill, a chill that directly pierced his heart, making his heart tremble with fear at this moment!

  Just from this feeling, Xiao Xuan was able to determine that this ring was not ordinary. Moreover, after the ring left the variant cannibal demon's finger bone, it began to emit a strong magical aura. For Xiao Xuan, who was already an apprentice magician, this magical aura was not unfamiliar. It was:

  Soul Magic!

  "Wear it, wear it, and you shall have its power! Wear it, wear it, and you shall gain the ability to transcend the mundane! Wear it, wear it, wear it, and you shall be an immortal legend!"

  A wave of emotions that bewildered the mind was brewing in Xiao Xuan's heart, this time the power was more than ten times stronger than the spiritual attack launched by the variant body-eating demon on Xiao Xuan before. Xiao Xuan's eyes were really dazed this time, he slowly stretched out his ring finger, ready to put the ring on his own finger.

  Wipe

  The dark golden ring and Xiao Xuan's finger skin made a faint, almost imperceptible rubbing sound, which also meant that Xiao Xuan had truly put the ring on his own hand.

  Bang!

  Xiao Xuan felt like his head had been heavily struck, and a surge of dark and terrifying aura began to pour into his body from the dark gold ring. It started to frantically occupy his limbs and even his brain and mind. Faced with such a terrible impact, Xiao Xuan basically had no ability to resist, and he couldn't help but tremble uncontrollably in the water.

  At this time, a dark-colored aura began to hover around Xiao Xuan's body, and it actually supported Xiao Xuan's body to float on the surface of the blood, without sinking into the pool due to losing consciousness.

  Xiao Xuan felt his body was extremely cold, a chill that had surpassed physical sensation, as his heart was also trembling uncontrollably. This uncontainable coldness was no less than a severe torture of breaking bones and cutting flesh for Xiao Xuan. However, he had no choice but to passively endure it, because he himself could not withstand the power of this ring. Now that he had put it on, he must bear the consequences!

  Gradually, Xiao Xuan felt his vision begin to blur. He saw a vast and endless grassland, he saw a small tribe, he saw a group of children playing inside the tribe, especially one little boy wearing a black tattered robe, who was lifting his head, his eyes... were staring directly at Xiao Xuan!

  Xiao Xuan also couldn't describe the feeling of this gaze, his current perspective was very unique and strange, it was as if he could see wherever he wanted to, whether it was up, down, left, right or various blind spots. To put it in a more fitting word, that is - God's perspective!

  But there, within his line of sight, an ordinary boy stood quietly, the children around him still playing by his side, yet he was so "out of the picture", the surrounding tribes, grasslands and even the blue sky and white clouds seemed like a painting. The boy had originally been in the painting, it wasn't until Xiao Xuan appeared that he walked out of the canvas, exchanging a gaze with Xiao Xuan in a very weathered and icy manner.

  The boy's mouth curled up in a smile, he squatted down, picked up a branch, and began to draw on the slightly soft ground. In about ten breaths, the boy threw away the branch, turned around, and walked back into the group of playing children. The scene suddenly became so natural, so harmonious, and the little boy who had just "painted" was once again naturally "in the picture".

  Xiao Xuan's gaze shifted downward, and he saw the little boy's "masterpiece" on the ground. Suddenly, Xiao Xuan's heart skipped a beat - this was clearly a magical diagram! He began to subconsciously manipulate the magical elements within his body according to the diagram. The diagram wasn't complicated, it could even be said to be very simple, but the prerequisite was that you had to be a magician and have magical elements present in your body!

  "Boom!"

  Xiao Xuan only felt a shock in his mind again, and then his consciousness returned. At the same time, all the cold and cruel aura in his body was withdrawn back into the ring. Xiao Xuan himself also recovered.

  "What a close call... If I hadn't exchanged for the Magician's Apprentice physique, wouldn't I have really gone in?"

  Xiao Xuan couldn't help but mutter to himself, he had already understood that in the scene just now, the little boy's Olympic diagram was used to control this ring. If Xiao Xuan wasn't a magic apprentice without magic, his consciousness would be forever suppressed by the cold and cruel aura, turning him into a vegetable!
