National Fortune Bonus: After the new player awakens at the maximum level, he will kill like crazy

"In the vast universe, countless parallel dimensions and worlds are intertwined. Each dimension has its own unique rules and hides terrifying and chilling existences."

"The source of the mist emanating from this heart is likely an extremely unstable channel. Once fully activated, forces from different dimensions will surge in frantically. This might contain terrifying visions capable of instantly destroying human mental defenses, as well as mysterious entities that defy all known knowledge. Their forms and behavioral logic completely defy common sense, and they might even be accompanied by violent energy turbulence capable of completely subverting the laws of real physics. Wherever they pass, all existing order will be shattered."

The other person's tone was calm as he explained all this, but Su Mohui was terrified. A doomsday scenario involuntarily emerged in her mind: Azathoth within her heart slowly awakened, his massive and terrifying body disturbing the order of the universe. The world crumbled and collapsed under this irresistible force!

Thinking of this, she almost subconsciously blurted out: "Is there any way to completely resolve these crises?"

The female voice rang out again after a brief silence. This time, there was a hint of amusement in her tone, as if she were posing a mysterious puzzle: "Haha... perhaps the solution lies in that ancient prophecy..."

"What prophecy?" Su Mohui was like a fish that had taken the bait and easily took the other party's hook.

“When the stars turn retrograde, shadows and light intertwine, the gears of fate will turn again, and the chosen one will face the final decision. But always, always believe in the path you have chosen.”

His voice echoed, each word carrying the weight of time. "But this prophecy is too obscure and difficult to understand. For all these years, no one has been able to fully comprehend its true meaning..."

Just as Su Mohui was about to ask further questions, the voice suddenly stopped, as if the prophecy just now was just an insignificant episode. Then, the other party continued the previous topic as if nothing had happened, with the same flat tone:

"Besides that, that heart covered in gray mist might be the core of some ancient seal."

As soon as these words came out, Su Mohui opened her mouth, but the questions in her heart were forcibly blocked back, and her attention was forcibly diverted: a glimmer of hope seemed to ignite in her heart instantly. If it was a seal, it meant that there was a way to control this power——

"Long before the cosmic consciousness was born in the original universe, he may have made a deal with other cosmic consciousnesses. In order to suppress a terrifying existence capable of destroying the universe, he used countless mysterious rituals and powerful forces to set up a seal, and this heart is the key to the seal."

"As for those black tentacles... perhaps it's your proximity that has caused the seal to loosen, triggering the golden sphere's protective mechanism. Those tentacles are both a backlash from the disturbed seal's power and a defensive measure to prevent further damage."

"So, I really can't tell you exactly what it is. It has existed since the birth of your original universe."

The voice paused briefly, then continued slowly, "As far as I know, it is the root of all chaos and disorder, a terrifying existence that has existed since the dawn of the universe. And the golden sphere, as the consciousness of the universe, has always maintained a delicate and fragile balance, doing its utmost to resist the unknown forces from beyond the universe and the encroachment of these terrifying entities on the universe."

Su Mohui felt a tingling sensation on her scalp when she heard this, but at the same time, she also keenly grasped the "cosmic consciousness" mentioned by the other party and asked directly, "You said that the golden sphere is the cosmic consciousness, then you...?"

"You can understand it as, I am the objective existence of cosmic consciousness." The other party responded calmly.

At this moment, Su Mohui's mind was full of thoughts about the novel and terrifying concepts such as the Gray Mist Heart, the Old Ones, and the balance of the universe. She didn't take the prophecy seriously at all, and just thought it was an ancient legend that the other party mentioned by chance.

She had no idea that in the near future, strange scenes of stars moving retrograde and shadows and light intertwined would unfold before her eyes one by one, and she herself would be ruthlessly drawn into the vortex of fate, standing at the crossroads that concerned the survival of the world, facing the final difficult decision.

Her mind was now rapidly sorting through this vast, overwhelming amount of information. After a long moment, a hint of confusion and shock still lingering in her eyes, she asked, "You just said that there's a delicate and fragile balance in the original universe. So, if I continue exploring, I'm very likely to disrupt it, right?"

"That's right," the female voice responded immediately. "But you must know that you possess a unique power. This power may be the key to overcoming difficulties, or it may lead to even greater disasters. In fact, the outcome of some events often depends on every choice you make."

The other party spoke calmly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, completely ignoring the impact his words would have on Su Mohui.

Every word he said was like a heavy hammer, pushing Su Mohui to a crucial peak, a critical position that could affect the entire body and even the fate of the entire universe.

Su Mohui tried to understand and digest these words, but there was still some uncertainty in her eyes. After a moment, she bit her lower lip and asked, "But... why me? Why should I bear all this?"

This time, the other party was silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "I can't give you a definite answer to this question. But please believe that this is the path you have chosen."

Su Mohui stopped talking, and she and the mysterious female voice fell into silence at the same time. The air around them seemed to stop abruptly.

Until Su Mohui suddenly felt the Four Realms Death Pearl in her small world move. Her heart tightened, and she raised her head suddenly, as if she suddenly remembered something. She asked with a firm tone, "So, the resentful power in the universe I am in is related to the Cthulhu civilization, right?"

"Of course it is. Otherwise, do you really think that the power of resentment in all the time and space of the original universe requires you, the Chinese gods, to give up your position as immortals and go through ninety-nine reincarnations?" The other party answered straightforwardly, and seemed not to notice that something was wrong with Su Mohui.

"I..." Su Mohui opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the other party.

"Especially you, Su Mohui. Why have you been reincarnated more times than others? Is it really just because you are the Lord of the Netherworld?"
