Sun Mo froze on the spot.
âEldest Martial Sister!â
Lu Zhiruo and Xianyu Wei screamed out, tears streaking down their faces.
This sudden scene caused everyone to be in a daze as well. Didnât she succeed in solving the Galactic Rubikâs Cube? Why was she still eaten?
âYou f*cking went back on your words!â Sun Mo bellowed fiercely, feeling so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
âAboriginal, take note of what you say. Otherwise, Iâll eat you up directly. Moreover, when did I go back on my words?â
As a high and lofty God, it cared about its face too and wasnât going to allow people to humiliate him.
âI have never said that I wonât eat the person who passes the stage.â Everyone was stunned. They thought back carefully on this and realized that what it said was true.
âCongratulations, you guys have successfully passed the first stage!â As God spoke, a big door silently opened up on the metallic walls. âI have to say that this female aboriginal is really too delicious. She can be said to have the richest energy and taste the best out of all the aboriginals Iâve eaten after coming to the Nine Provinces! Thereâs no comparison at all!â
âYou...â
Sun Mo bit his lips and clenched his fists tightly. âYouâve really taught an excellent student!â
God praised Sun Mo. âI look forward to seeing how your other personal disciples taste!â âSun Mo, now isnât the time to be grieving. The important thing is to clear the stages and kill that God!â
Mei Yazhi consoled him and headed toward the door first.
âEldest... Eldest Martial Sister didnât even get to leave her last words! Wuuuuu!â
Lu Zhiruo and Xianyu Wei hugged each other, crying non-stop.
Sun Moâs other students also looked extremely angry.
âLetâs go!â
The Daybreak Starlord patted Sun Moâs shoulder, hung his arm around it, and then led him down to the next hall. âLetâs crush that fellow into ashes!â
Everyone arrived in the second hall and realized that it was no different from the previous one!
âThe stage earlier tested oneâs intelligence. Back in my hometown, even a University lecturer would have to spend several days to be able to solve a Rubikâs Cube like that. Therefore, the aboriginal called Li Ziqi was really very outstanding!â God was still reminiscing on Li Ziqiâs taste. âFor this stage, letâs play a game called the âjoker game[1]â. It wonât depend on oneâs intelligence or physical aptitude. Weâll look at oneâs luck!â
As God spoke, 72 metallic cards were projected in the hall.
âOut of these 72 metallic cards, there are 36 pairs. A player will be considered to have passed if they draw one card and then draw a second card that is the same as the first. To express my benevolence, Iâll allow each player to have two draws.â
âYour benevolence is really cheap!â
Mei Yazhi sneered.
âPlayers only have a 1 out of 71 chance to survive. Whatâs the point? You might as well just kill us!â
Someone was displeased. âAlright, Iâll do as you say!â As God said this, a loud sound rang out and this complaining student was eaten up. It was really temperamental and killed like it was nothing! No, it was more like how most people would kill ants when they stepped on them. They wouldnât feel any emotions. To God, these people were like ingredients such as chicken, ducks, and fish.
Not letting them suffer from any pain was already considered a sort of benevolence.
At this moment, everyoneâs fury surged like erupting lava, all of their eyes glistening with the yearning for revenge. âAs this stage is too simple, each player will only get three minutes for their turn. If the cards are not picked within the stipulated timing, the player will be seen as intentionally dragging out time. Iâll then follow the rules from the previous round and eat double the number of aboriginals from before.â
God explained the rules.
âAlright, the game starts now. Who will go first?â
âLet me do it, my luck has always been quite good!â
âYou often pick up money?â âNo, I like to smile!â
A girl with sweet dimples smiled. âDonât they say that girls who like to smile wonât have horrible luck?â
This time around, the students no longer listened to the teachers and started to go for it, wanting to do their part for the entire Nine Provinces.
âItâs probably not as simple as just testing oneâs luck, right? There must be some trick behind this!â
The Daybreak Starlord guessed and said loudly, âDonât pick too fast! Drag out the time!â
Three people failed consecutively.
The death before them also made everyoneâs enthusiasm cool down a little.
âThis canât be done. The success rate of 1 out of 71 is too difficult!â
Jin Mujie felt great despair. How lucky must one be to be able to pick the right cards? Rather than courting deaths for nothing, they might as well just fight it out! Over 30 great teachers clearly shared the same thoughts. (Why do we have to play this damn game? Why donât we just fight it out?) Therefore, after they interacted with their gazes, they suddenly accelerated and dashed toward the door on the northward metallic wall, wanting to break it down through violence.
However, it was wishful thinking! Pa pa pa! These people exploded like balloons that had been pierced by needles, disappearing without a trace.
âArenât you guys too naive?â God laughed. âTeacher, why not let me go?â
Lu Zhiruo asked.

Sun Mo fell silent, not wanting to let the papaya girl go. But if she didnât, they might not be able to clear this stage even if everyone here were to die. How were they going to clear the next round then?
However, if she were to go, sheâd still die even if she cleared the round!
Hold on, if she were to die, why not maximize her value?
Sun Mo didnât wish to continue down this train of thoughts. It was too cruel.
âZhiruo, come over here! Iâll tell you something!â
Tantai Yutang was always one who thought of himself as smart. At a time like this, he could finally put himself to some use. He thought of the same thing as Sun Mo. âDo as I tell you!â
The sickly guy instructed in a soft voice.
âEn en!â
The papaya girl nodded, her oval-shaped face looking very serious.
Three minutes later!
âDo you understand it now?â
Tantai Yutang asked.
âEn!â
Zhiruo nodded vigorously. âGo on then!â Tantai Yutang tried hard to show a smile. âDonât worry, Iâll clear the third stage! Iâll definitely kill that God!â
âI know that youâre very amazing!â After saying that, Lu Zhiruo looked toward Sun Mo. âTeacher Sun, Iâm not a child anymore. Protecting the Nine Provinces and my junior martial siblings is also my responsibility as the Second Senior Martial Sister.â
After saying that, the papaya girl pulled back the great teacher who was going to give it a go. She then walked over by herself. She didnât feel any fear or uneasiness and just drew one card outright.
The image on the card was definitely a crown!
âWow, your luck isnât bad!â
Lu Zhiruo was very happy and then said with a challenging tone, âGod, do you believe that Iâll be able to match the cards three times in a
row?â
âHeh heh!â
God laughed mockingly.
âThen why donât we have a bet?â
Lu Zhiruo put up a smug expression, but her acting was so bad that it didnât work. âAn insignificant aboriginal wants to have a bet with me? Interesting! Go on!â
God found this amusing.
âI can draw the cards consecutively. Each time I match a pair, I have the right to pick someone to meet you in person, bypassing the third round. What do you think of that?â Lu Zhiruo proposed.
God fell silent, thinking that this was meaningless. âWhy not do this? Didnât you find my eldest martial sister very delicious? My junior martial siblings arenât bad either. So, for each additional three draws Iâm given, Iâll use one junior martial sibling as the price.â
Lu Zhiruo suggested.
âZhiruo, donât act recklessly!â Sun Mo was given a fright. âTeacher, donât stop her!â When Qin Yaoguang heard this condition, she didnât feel any horror. Or rather, all of Sun Moâs disciples were very composed. âTeacher, letâs bet on this!â Tantai Yutang looked very determined. âWith the help of Zhiruoâs good luck, this stage might be the one that we have the most advantage of. We must make good use of it!â
Sun Mo fell silent. This was what he had thought too.
âThings can be done this way?â The Daybreak Starlord was stunned. Sun Moâs personal disciples were really brave. Mei Yazhi frowned, not thinking well of this. After all, whoâd be able to be sure on something dependent on luck? âHaha, youâre saying that youâll use one junior martial sibling as the price to let you have three turns at drawing?â God laughed. âI think thatâs ok, but three times is too many. Why not use three junior martial siblings in exchange for one turn? If you match the cards, you can designate one person to meet me in person! âThat wonât do, itâs too much of a loss to me!â
Lu Zhiruo quickly rejected. âThatâs right, itâs too much of a loss to you, but you donât have a choice!â
God said mockingly, âYou guys should be treating this as a chance to turn the tables. How about it? Are you going to do it?â
Lu Zhiruo didnât know what to do. She didnât care if she were to risk her life, but her heart would ache if she were to risk her junior martial siblingsâ lives.
âSenior Martial Sister Zhiruo, agree to it! Let Teacher go to the third stage directly!â
Xianyu Wei shouted out. âItâs a good deal!â
Tantai Yutang nodded. He had considered the possibility that God would change the conditions.
âDonât have any pressure and just randomly pick any three!â
Ying Baiwu consoled her. âI... I...â
Lu Zhiruo cried sadly. âAlright, cut with the crap. Pass this stage before saying anything else!â God urged. Lu Zhiruo gulped nervously for the first time ever and then drew a card!
âThis one!â
The card was flipped over. It was a crown.
Swoosh!
Everyone cheered. She had matched the cards.
âThereâs such a thing?â
God was surprised, but at the thought of how this big papaya would have to pick out three people she was close to and send them to their deaths, it was filled with anticipation toward this scene.
âYou can continue!â
Lu Zhiruo took a deep breath, didnât know what battle tactic to use, and picked out two cards consecutively.
When they were turned over, both of them were the picture of a snow white pearflower!
â...â
God was really stunned. Wasnât her luck too good?
(But no matter how lucky you are, youâre still my food! Hmm, will my luck become a little bit better after I eat her?) At the thought of this, it started with its meal without any hesitation.
Pa!
âTeacher...â
Before Lu Zhiruo could finish her last words, she disappeared.
âWow, sheâs so delicious!â God was astonished. âSun Mo, I suddenly feel like releasing you. The students you nurtured are too delicious. Why donât you be my next sheepdog?â

!
Sun Mo bit his lips, feeling so angry that he wanted to kill. âMy disciple has succeeded. Then what about you? Are you going to go back on your words?â
âOf course not!â God laughed. âBut before you come to look for me, you should pick three ingredients first!â
âEat me!â
Xuanyuan Po stepped forward. Ying Baiwu didnât say anything, but she walked out together with the combat addict. âCount me in!â
Helian Beifang and the others didnât cower either.
At the sight of this scene, Mei Yazhi and the others felt both touched and heartache.
Sun Mo covered his eyes in agony. He couldnât make a decision.
âTen seconds. If you cannot give a response, Iâll cancel the reward for this bet!â
God warned. âJiang Leng, Xianyu, Helian, Iâm sorry!â Sun Mo could only make his final choice.
âTeacher, we donât blame you!â
vu:
Xianyu Wei consoled Sun Mo instead.
âThis choice is the most rational!â
Jiang Leng approved of the decision. In terms of battle prowess, Xuanyuan Po and Ying Baiwu were at the top. Moreover, one of them was unrivaled in close combat, while the other was an amazing archer. As for Tantai Yutang, he was both a doctor and the brain, so he should stay behind. Then there was Qin Yaoguang This junior martial sister of theirs was very mysterious, but one thing was for sure, she was extremely strong and also very quick-witted. There was greater value for her to remain alive.
Sun Moâs arms and legs were trembling; his heart was bleeding.
Qin Yaoguang took a few skips forward and came to Sun Moâs side. She tiptoed, got close to his ears, then covered her mouth with her hand, whispering in his ear, âTeacher, this wonât do. This time around, youâll have to pick me. Itâs because Iâm the final weapon to kill that God!â
Sun Mo was stunned and turned to look toward Qin Yaoguang. âAre you kidding?â âTeacher, do you think that Iâm the type of person whoâll take the initiative to sacrifice myself? Iâm someone who values benefits and interests! Even if I have to die, I have to do a big feat and make my death worth it!â
Qin Yaoguang put her arms at her waist, feeling very proud. âTeacher, you should choose me too!â
Ying Baiwu interjected too and then looked toward her martial siblings. âThereâs no need to fight. And, no matter what you go through, you must work hard to save your lives.â âSenior Martial Sister Ying! Senior Martial Sister Qin!â
Xianyu Wei cried.
âWow, itâs such a touching scene, but have you guys decided? Thereâs a limit to my patience!â God urged. âWeâve decided.â
Qin Yaoguang spoke up first and named three people, âMyself, Jiang Leng, and Ying Baiwu!â
It didnât matter to God who was picked as long as they were Sun Moâs personal disciples. Therefore, it started eating!
Pa pa pa! The three people disappeared as if they had never been there before! âWuuuuu!â
Xianyu Wei fell to the ground and cried non-stop. âCan you hurry up and start the third stage?â
Mei Yazhi bellowed. There was a ball of fire burning in her chest that could burn down the entire sky. A big door opened on the metallic wall. Everyone immediately dashed in. âThe third stage is a game that all of us love the most, hide-and-seek. The rules are simple. As long as you arenât killed by the âseekerâ within 48 hours, itâll be considered a
pass!â
God laughed sinisterly. âAs this is very exciting, Iâll give you guys an advantage-you can participate together. Of course, Sun Mo doesnât have to. After all, your disciple has won you a chance to meet me in person!â
Buzz!
The floor moved, revealing a big round hole.
âAlright, everyone can go down now!â
God urged. No one moved. This underground hole was pitch-black, so whoâd know what was inside? Moreover, this game sounded very dangerous!
Pa!
Suddenly, a great teacher who walked up to the hole, attempting to look into it, shattered outright. âHave you guys forgotten that you donât have any right to choose? And if you donât go ahead with the game, Iâll eat one person every ten seconds. Oh, right, An Xinhui, stay behind.â
Godâs voice was cold and heartless, and the countdown started.
âLetâs go!â
The Daybreak Starlord sighed in his heart and was the first to jump in. This attack was too aggrieving. The other party had full control over the situation.
The great teachers took the lead and jumped in.
Very soon, there were only Sun Mo and An Xinhui left in the hall.
Both of them exchanged a glance, neither of them knowing what to say.
Thereafter, a big door opened in the north. âCome this way!â
God instructed.
The two of them did as they were told.
After entering the door and passing through a corridor that was over 100 meters long, they finally arrived in a room.
This place looked more like one that was lived in. There was furniture, decorative vases, as well as some entertainment stuff.
However, they were all covered in dust. âWelcome to my battleship. You guys are the second and third aboriginals from the Nine Provinces to come here after the An Clanâs ancestor. You should feel proud!â
Godâs tone sounded a lot more polite.
After all, these two were its sheepdogs. There was nothing wrong with treating them more kindly.
That was right. God was planning to nurture two sheepdogs. It was because the production rate was too low, and it needed more food. Otherwise, it wouldnât be able to even fulfill its lowest condition for survival.
âIâm sorry, there arenât any drinks.â
After all, this was a battleship that had been sealed up for a very long time. Resources were very scarce.
âArenât you planning to show yourself?â
Sun Mo tried to provoke him. âArenât you being too rude?â
There was silence in the living room for over ten seconds. That God was probably hesitating too, but a ball of blue lightning quickly flashed by one foot above An Xinhuiâs head.
After the lightning disappeared, An Xinhuiâs eyes and expression changed drastically. Not only had her eyes lost focus, but she seemed like an emotionless marionette too.
âAs you wish!â
An Xinhui sat down on a chair and waved her hand, gesturing for Sun Mo to take a seat. âI hope that you wonât let my admiration down later on!â
âYouâve killed so many of my students, friends, and teachers. Yet, you think that Iâll be loyal to you?â Sun Mo smiled coldly. âWhat is life? Just living? Sun Mo, you donât understand the meaning of life!â
An Xinhui had become Godâs shell.
âBut itâs definitely not to be eaten by you!â
Sun Mo sneered. âI have no intention of arguing with you!â God was magnanimous. This was because it was high and lofty. Arguing with an ant was both meaningless and would also bring down its value. âWhy not play a game with me?â
Sun Mo kept quiet.
âThis is the game I like the most! Back where Iâm from, Iâm the record holder for this game!â
God revealed a proud tone.
âAfter playing this game with me, youâll understand how you should lead your life from now on!â
A crystal coffee table that was three meters wide and seven meters long appeared between the two of them. A three-dimensional terrain was projected on it. There were mammoths, large plains, endless forests, and primitive people who were running around and hunting. âThe planet Iâm from uses technology that far surpasses your recognition. In the most brilliant times, weâd use a planet to play life simulation games.â
God introduced.
âThat game console in the Black-White Academy is yours too, right?â
There was silence in the living room for over ten seconds. That God was probably hesitating too, but a ball of blue lightning quickly flashed by one foot above An Xinhuiâs head.

God introduced.
âThat game console in the Black-White Academy is yours too, right?â
Sun Mo had long since been curious about why there was such a thing in the Nine Provinces.
âOh, so people from the Black-White Academy picked it up.â
God was struck with a realization.
âWhat benefits would there be for me if I were to win?â
Sun Mo didnât mind playing.
âSun Mo, donât be too focused on benefits and interests. Letâs do this. If you win, Iâll spare the lives of those aboriginals who are playing hide-and-seek.â
God laughed. âIâm full now anyway. After all, your personal disciplesâ intelligence is too delicious and sumptuous!â
Bang!
Sun Mo smashed his fist onto the table.
âDonât be so hot-tempered!â
God continued, âOr do you not agree to that? From what I know, you have your confidantes amongst them, right? Are you going to watch as they die?â
