Taking advantage of the brief respite after repelling the enemy evil creatures, Su Jinyan seized the opportunity to swiftly scan his inventory, searching for any usable items:
Divergent Wood Fruit - A Curio capable of instantly removing all negative effects and fully restoring life points.
Hmm, this would definitely work, but it can only save one person, akin to bailing out the ocean with a cup—skipping it.
Everlasting Heavenly Splendor, Everlasting Glory Branch - Likely useful as medicinal ingredients, but not applicable here.
Luxurious Orchid Ointment... Should I try it?
[You retrieve the Luxurious Orchid Ointment and instruct your subordinate to let a cloud knight entrapped in the illusion sniff it.]
[Despite your efforts, there is no improvement; the cloud knight remains unconscious within the illusory realm.]
Rare Medical Book - Ancestral Secrets for Healing All Ailments.
[You hastily flip through Ancestral Secrets for Healing All Ailments, immediately captivated by the content on the first page.]
[Using Horny Goat Weed, Everlasting Heavenly Splendor, and Sky Ginseng, steep them in water and administer alongside squats. Within days, you'll achieve prowess to pleasure ten women nightly, maintaining unwavering stamina.]
[Engrossing! Fascinating! You are deeply absorbed.]
Enough already, isn't this not what I'm looking for?!
[In haste, you turn to the next page, finding remedies for rheumatism. Another page down, treatments for headaches. Yet another, solutions for infertility.]
This is ridiculous!
[You flip back to the table of contents and discover that the last page contains a spell, learnable only by those with the Healer profession.]
That seems perfectly suited for me to read this book.
[Tear out this page, burn it to ash, mix the ashes with water, and consume to instantly master—Group Diarrhea Spell.]
Su Jinyan exclaimed, "¥#@%@%!"
The final item was a rare literary novel written by a renowned success guru—the Mad Rantings.
[Mad Rantings: Ordinary individuals cannot open this book; only those with extreme self-confidence can peruse its pages.]
[Description: Upon opening this book, you will involuntarily recite its contents aloud.]
[Each page read will be consumed, and once the entire book is finished, it will vanish along with the reading.]
[Effect: When you open the book, all within a 100-yard radius around yourself, who have weak willpower, will fall into the negative states of [Frenzy] and [Insanity].]
[Upon closing the book, all current negative states affecting them will be removed, and they will gain 50% temporary Effect Resistance.]
[Note: While reading, the reader cannot perform any attacks, defenses, or similar actions, only allowing slow movement.]
I have confidence in myself; it's worth giving it a try.
Su Jinyan rubbed his chin and chose to read the rare-grade literary novel—Mad Ramblings.
[Ignoring the officer's rebuke, you stubbornly clutch a thick book and depart from the ranks.]
[The officer assumes you're fleeing from fear, expressing deep disappointment.]
[In a crowded area, you open Mad Ramblings, your demeanor instantly transforming, standing out like a crane among chickens, distinctly different.]
["All success stems from embracing Aha, while all failure arises from straying from Aha."]
["Stray from Aha, and all your relentless efforts become futile!"]
["'Applause if you understand!'"]
[Chuihong Officer: "?"]
[In the next moment, within a hundred-yard radius around you, all individuals entranced by the illusory realm involuntarily burst into applause.]
[Su Jinyan closes the book, instantly awakening those ensnared in the illusion.]
[The soldiers on both battlefields are left speechless with shock.]
[Whether Abundant Ones or immortal cultivators, their minds echo with a single thought: "Holy sh*t!"]
[Continuing your stride, you open the book once more and read aloud:]
["Culture transforms the world; it shapes humans when they're seen, Aeons when stars are gazed upon, and the entirety of existence itself."] ["After transforming everything, creation emerges from nothingness—this is what culture means. Applause if you understand!"]
[A thunderous round of applause erupts.]
[Both the Abundant Lands Allied Forces and the Xianzhou Alliance issue simultaneous orders.]
["See that person giving the speech? Eliminate / Protect him at all costs."]
[Thanks to your efforts, an increasing number of Xianzhou Alliance soldiers regain consciousness.]
[With the loss of nourishment, Planetarium Ji Dou's influence gradually weakens, slowing down the transformation of Xianzhou soldiers into Mara-Struck beings.]
[You continue your speech, but the struggle around you has already begun.]
["The amount of unjustly spent money determines your magnanimity."]
[Several swift Abundant Ones assassins dart through the crowd, attempting to kill you.]
[However, the Xianzhou Alliance reacts more quickly. Additional Bi Fang Guards surge to protect you, thwarting every assassination attempt.]
["If two hundred million is squandered unjustly, then allocating one billion for actual progress becomes trivial—just a matter of conversation. If you understand, please applaud!"]
[The scales of victory, once tilted, slowly begin to level out.]
["Just like my employees, many betrayed me. With a snap, I'd instantly give them a million each."]
["For those who betray me, they receive a million; imagine how much billions will be worth from those loyal in the future. If you understand, please applaud again."]
Your face appears profoundly weary, and your steps slow down.
This book is draining your mental energy at an unsustainable rate, yet you know you cannot stop now. Every additional second increases the Xianzhou Alliance's chances of victory, however slightly, instilling hope among its people.
The leader of the Abundant Lands Allied Forces narrows his eyes, issuing a ruthless command.
["Initiate Red Star Amassment at coordinates 313,434."]
[The Abundant Ones wore grave expressions, but none opposed the command; the orders of the allied forces' leader were absolute.]
[Red Star Amassment involves extracting the life energy from the currently active celestial body, coalescing it into a miniature red star.]
[Using a miniaturized stellar capture device, this star is then captured, subjected to quantum super-compression, and directed towards designated coordinates for orbital strike.]
[Upon impact, the released quantum energy instantly causes the targeted area to collapse.]
[In Star Calendar Year 5749, during the Second War of the Abundant Lands:]
[Abundance Emanator Shuhu, with Ji Dou's mirage, besieged Xianzhou's Yu Que fortress. Ultimately, the High-Cloud Quintet shattered the Ji Dou mirage, nearly preventing its revival.]
[Although the Ji Dou mirage has since recovered and reactivated, it remains severely lacking in nourishment.]
[After overextending its life force once more, if still deprived of sustenance, there will be no chance for the Ji Dou mirage's recovery after being struck again.]
[The command cascades down through layers of hierarchy.]
[A chilling sense of impending doom locks onto you.]
[You attempt to evade, but regardless of where you flee, the lock from the distant skies cannot be shaken off—you have nowhere to escape.]
[The leader of the Abundant Lands Allied Forces, expression cold, waves his hand.]
[Slowly closing your book, an indescribable sense of regret fills your eyes.]
["With this oath, our Cloud Riders shall veil the skies like gathering clouds, shielding the Xianzhou Fleet!"]
[Until their final moment, the soldiers of the Xianzhou Alliance do not relinquish their weapons.]
[They close their eyes, reciting the pledge in unison, their hearts harboring lingering regrets as they fade away amidst the crimson glow.]
[The dazzling red light envelops the land, turning everything within sight to Nihility.]
[Current Shell: Chuihong Guard Vice-Commander - Zuo Chao permanently destroyed, beyond repair.]
