Chapter 396: Sing and Walk Slowly

In the first two rounds of rock-paper-scissors, Bai Wei had already figured out this person’s intentions.

The first time was an exception, but the second time was definitely not.

Bai Wei deliberately suggested a tie, just to test the waters.

He was absolutely confident in winning this ancient god residue because he could see through its thoughts. With his quick reflexes and strong spiritual power, he could accurately predict what the opponent would choose and adjust accordingly.

On the other hand, the three-eyed young man was always a step behind because he was focused on judging his own moves.

In other words, winning the ancient god residue was never his intention from the beginning.

"From the start, you were watching my every move, relying on the unique insight of the Three-Eyed Clan to see through my choices and defeat me…"

"Among the three of us playing rock-paper-scissors, there are only three possibilities for you to win against me."

"The first way, you win against me and it; the second way, you and it win against me; the third way, when we both have scissors, rock, or paper, it’s a tie."

"No matter what, as long as you defeat me, there won’t be a situation where we both win."

"There are only three possibilities: I lose to it, I tie with it, or we tie with each other…"

"Because you think compared to the terrifying ancient god residue, I am easier to deal with, so you didn’t hesitate to target me."

"So without hesitation, you went on to defeat it, and then defeat me, so you could safely escape, while I had to stay behind."

"How wonderful."

Bai Wei sighed and revealed what the Three-Eyed Clan was thinking.

The young man with three eyes had an unpleasant expression, with cold hands and feet.

"It’s also quite pitiful… Why do you think I won against it, but would lose to you? Is it because I’m a person, and it’s not?"

"I have given you a chance before, and it’s okay if I lose to you once. I am confident that I can win."

He paused and glanced at the young man with three eyes.

"But you didn’t give me the qualification to deliberately lose to you… You are so selfish, go fight for the chance to survive by yourself."

He made a ‘please’ gesture, pointing at the leftover power of the ancient god.

The leftover power of the ancient god eagerly said with an evil grin, "Let’s play rock-paper-scissors, hurry up, I can’t wait!"

The trembling young man with three eyes said, "You, you are being too much. I don’t want to play rock-paper-scissors with you!"

"Even if you don’t play, you will still die. I’m already very hungry and impatient," the leftover power of the ancient god laughed cruelly. "Raise your hand quickly, as long as you win, you can leave. Don’t you want to win?"

The young man with three eyes clenched his teeth and, influenced by the persuasion of the leftover power of the ancient god, slowly raised his hand. But his proud insight couldn’t see through the thoughts and expressions of the leftover power of the ancient god at all. He had to rely on luck.

The final round of rock-paper-scissors began, and Bai Wei stood by, observing coldly.

The young man with three eyes punched at last, but he closed his eyes in fear. When he opened them, his legs went weak.

He made a fist, while the other person chose paper.

He lost.

"You lost," the ancient god residue licked its teeth. "Finally, I can taste the freshness."

"Don’t come any closer!" The three-eyed young man retreated in fear. "You’re not keeping your promise. You said if I found someone to take my place, you would let me go!"

"I don’t keep my word with idiots."

"I can still help you recruit people nearby! I can help you!" The back of the three-eyed young man was already against the stone wall. His voice turned soft as he pleaded, "There are more people coming back, as long as you don’t kill me."

"I’m running out of patience," the ancient god residue only desired to devour human souls and flesh. It was starving.

"No, please!" The three-eyed young man’s last plea was directed towards Bai Wei. "Please, save me!"

"No one will help you." The ancient god residue’s sphere suddenly expanded, with large, sharp teeth that resembled a guillotine blade.

Bai Wei suddenly spoke up, "Oh, right, I have something else to mention."

The ancient god residue, disturbed during its meal, asked, "What is it?"

The three-eyed young man seized this opportunity and quickly ran to Bai Wei’s side, out of the game. The ancient god residue couldn’t restrain him or harm him anymore.

Bai Wei stood between the two and asked, "What is at the center of this Broken Paradise? Besides you, how many residues are here?"

The sphere sneered, "Do you think I’ll tell you?"

Bai Wei said, "Don’t you want to know how I kept winning against you?"

Intrigued, the ancient god residue pondered for a moment and reluctantly answered.

"I can’t reach the center; it holds remnants left by the Supreme Will. As for the residues, there are certainly many. Perhaps dozens, perhaps hundreds… I haven’t counted, but they are all like me, eager to continue playing with these living people."

"Is it very dangerous?"

"Not necessarily, some residues just want to find a legacy, to pass on their existence, but there are also ones like me…"

"Are you powerful?"

"I’m not the most powerful, I can only stay in a fixed place and drift. There are five residues that can ignore the rules of heaven and have the ability to move freely. Once you encounter those five monsters, pray that you’re lucky enough to escape."

"Understood." Bai Wei nodded.

"Now it’s your turn to speak." The ancient god residue really wanted to know how Bai Wei had won.

Just as Bai Wei was about to come up with an excuse, he suddenly saw the ball of the ancient god residue jump over his head. Then it rapidly expanded, its mouth biting the head of the three-eyed young man. With a click, the young man’s upper body disappeared.

Blood gushed out, and the soul was chewed into pieces by the ancient god residue.

It revealed a blissful expression, "It’s this taste…"

Old gods also have weird creatures who like to eat raw meat and souls, and good and evil mean nothing to them.

When the ancient god residue was completely intoxicated, suddenly its head started to ache.

A sword pierced through its back, the blade went through the sphere, and with a downward motion, the ancient god residue was split in half instantly.

The angry ancient god residue, now in two pieces, roared, "You dare to lay a hand on me, I will kill you…"

But when it turned around, it saw a young man’s cold and mocking gaze, devoid of reverence, without even a hint of courage to face fear.

Because there was no fear, how could there be courage? He placed himself on an equal… no, a higher level, as if watching a clown’s performance from the audience seats, as if standing outside a lion’s cage, holding a hunting rifle that could end its life at any moment.

Only now did the ancient god residue slowly realize that the other party actually wanted to destroy it from the very beginning, never intending to leave by playing a game of rock-paper-scissors.

The reason for cooperating in the game of rock-paper-scissors was to break free from the restraints and catch it off guard.

"Did you think I was stalling for time and standing in front of him, to protect his safety and keep him away from your devouring?"

Bai Wei laughed and shook his head in a mocking way, as if ridiculing the ignorance of the ancient god residue.

"If you really think that way, then it serves you right…to become cat food."

The ancient god residue felt genuine fear, an emotion that hadn’t arisen in a long, long time, until the moment it faced its own death.

It wasn’t until the once mighty ancient god fell under the butcher’s sword that it realized death is fair to everyone.

"Awoo, awoo, awoo!"

The ancient god residue roared, "I’m going to devour you!"

The sphere swelled and charged towards Bai Wei, but its desperate struggle didn’t cause the people of the Ming Country to flinch. Under the rules of this Broken Paradise, even an ancient god would be affected, let alone a residue. Golden Power couldn’t be used, and as a lingering memory of an ancient god, its mystery was restricted, the game rules were broken, and it was already a dish placed on the table.

He threw the Crouching Tiger Sword and a vibrant tiger leaped out from the blade. This tiger was too big, raising its head above three meters in height.

With a mighty roar, the colorful layered claws of the tiger slapped the ancient god residue to the ground.

"Today I’ll add a dish for you… it’s lion’s head stew, flavored with ancient god residue."

Bai Wei said, "Eat cleaner, it’s not something you see often."

The tiger lowered its head and tore off a big piece, happily gnawing on it.

The ancient god residue wailed, "How dare you defile the gods?! We won’t let you go, remember this… we won’t… let go…"

The lion’s head was bitten into pieces by Crouching Tiger’s teeth, and the lingering memories in the ancient god residue were crushed as well.

Bai Wei watched as it gradually disappeared, unable to help but sigh. One ancient god residue was already quite challenging. In its prime, who knows how terrifying it was. It was like the corpse left behind by a giant, which would give rise to countless mosquitoes. These residues were just like flies buzzing around the corpse. In the Broken Paradise, there were even more powerful ancient god residues that were difficult opponents to deal with.

Along the way, it was unavoidable to encounter various troubles and hardships, and unfortunately, time was not abundant.

The best choice is to quickly take control of the fragments of paradise and then slowly explore this place.

By now, Crouching Tiger Sword had finished eating the ancient god residue, feeling satisfied. It walked over and brushed against Bai Wei’s shoulder.

After eating the ancient god residue, it gained more benefits and could now transform into a semi-real form as a spirit of the sword.

"I know, one is not enough for you to level up, right? Then wait a bit more, you’ll surely find other wild ingredients."

Bai Wei touched the tiger’s chin and then jumped onto its back.

The beautiful and fierce tiger let out a roar, continuing on its journey towards the center of the Broken Paradise.

Why not sing and travel slowly.
