Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

"What the hell is this thing...?"

The Black Abyss hissed sharply as it struggled desperately.

But now he only has a mouth and a fleshy body left, how could he possibly break free from the restraints of these hundred-plus talismans?

Night Song appeared in the passage, holding a torch, and walked slowly and unhurriedly.

"Oh, we caught him."

Ye Ge held up his torch and shone it into the distance, where he saw the bound and locked Black Abyss Maw.

Song Jie followed behind him, and when he saw the captured Black Abyss Maw, he was immediately surprised and his eyes widened.

I go!

In this godforsaken place, you can actually catch a demon?!

Ye Ge walked closer and took a look, only to discover that the black fleshy ball actually had hands and feet.

However, it was somewhat disproportionate to his body size. His large mouth took up almost 70% of the entire fleshy mass, and the rest of the body was full of bloated, wrinkled flesh, making him look quite disgusting.

Night Song: "Surprised? Unexpected?"

"You..." Hei Yuan Da Zui was completely bewildered, staring at him in disbelief: "What trick did you use??"

“Oh, this is a trap talisman.” Night Song took out a blue talisman and said casually, “It’s usually used by demon hunters to capture wild magical beasts.”

"Of course I know this is a trap..."

What Black Abyss Big Mouth didn't understand was...

This is clearly his dungeon...

How could anyone set up so many traps in a place like this?

How did this guy know I would escape here?

As the giant black abyss looked at the human boy before him, it suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Could it be that this kid...?

Not only can it move automatically...

It can even predict the future?!?

"Zheng!"

Night Song took out Shadow Moon.

Upon seeing the black, technologically advanced straight blade, Black Abyss Big Mouth trembled in fear. Knowing its power, he immediately begged for mercy, "Wait! I...I'm willing to submit to you! Spare me..."

puff-

The words hadn't even been finished.

Night Song had already pierced the head of this fleshy ball with a single slash.

"Uh......"

The giant black maw froze instantly. Its last breath made it struggle a few times, but it quickly lost all life force, and its mushy, wrinkled flesh began to melt away...

Night Song deftly pulled out Shadow Moon.

"Excuse me, you're too ugly. I don't want to take on such an ugly subordinate. It would be too embarrassing to take you out."

Song Jie, standing nearby: "..."

At this moment, Yege saw a stone door at the end of the passage.

Something seemed to be faintly emitting a purple light from the cracks in the stone gate.

Song Jie asked curiously, "What is that?"

Ye Ge squinted, paused, and said, "You wait here."

Song Jie: "Oh, okay."

Although he was curious, as a child who grew up in the Black Wasteland, he knew that people are often killed by their curiosity.

Ye Ge then arrived at the stone gate.

Shadow Moon swung her hand and slashed.

With a flash of cold light, the stone gate was instantly cleaved in two and collapsed with a rumble!

Ye Ge walked in and found that it was a very large underground space, at least ten meters above the ceiling.

In the center of the hall stood a massive, oval-shaped life form, its body a deep, dark red color. Its outer shell resembled that of some kind of plant. The surface of this crimson life form was covered with root-like structures that connected it to the surrounding walls and the soil beneath, seemingly absorbing nutrients from the soil.

Ye Ge wondered, could this be the demon seed from the game's backstory that can grow into a demon tree?

Earlier in the main hall, he seemed to have overheard the name "Demon Seed" from a conversation between the Black Abyss Demon Lord and Li Yizhi.

"..."

"No... this thing is called a seed??"

Ye Ge gave a somewhat strange look.

In the game's storyline, the Demon Lord of the Abyss originally escaped, and the players did not intercept him, nor did they discover the Demon Seed. Therefore, the legend of the Demon Tree has always been part of the game's official background story.

Until the version before Night Song traveled to this world, players had never seen the true face of the Demon Tree.

The huge, dark red seed trembled slightly, like a fleshy heart connected to many roots, beating gently from time to time.

At this moment, a transparent system task notification popped up in front of Ye Ge's eyes:

[Hidden Quest Options]

[Entering a story branch!]

Players, please make your choices carefully!

[Option 1: Burn the Demon Seed. You will destroy the entire Black Abyss Realm, permanently closing it and instantly killing all monsters within. You will also absorb the Demon Seed and all the magic power of the monsters within, and randomly obtain a red-quality ancient demonic inheritance. You will also receive the title [Enemy of the Demons]—cursed by ancient demonic spirits, the demons' hatred towards you will permanently increase by 9999, and you will be the primary target of all future demonic units.]

[Option 2: By handing the Demon Seed over to the Imperial Federation's Superhuman Association, you will gain +500 favorability from righteous human superhumans, +1000 favorability from the general public, and a "Good Citizen" banner. The righteous path's attitude towards the Ye family will also slightly change in the future.]

[Option 3: Infuse your own life essence, and you will become the master of the Demon Seed and the new lord of the Black Abyss.]

[Note! This choice is crucial and will affect the entire storyline of the Myriad Races world. Players must consider it carefully!]

Ye Ge was completely stunned.

Wow... there are hidden storylines not in the original game's main plot??

Ye Ge gradually calmed down and carefully examined the options in front of her.

The system prompted "Choose carefully" twice, indicating that this option should indeed have a significant impact on the world's storyline!

Whichever option he chooses, it could change the future storyline of the game and create a huge butterfly effect!

Ye Ge pondered.

The second option is definitely not to be selected; there's no need to even consider it.

Now, it's about the first and third options...

One is to destroy it, the other is to become its master? ...

How to choose...?

Ye Ge closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and suddenly felt as if some life form within the seed was calling to him, seemingly able to establish some kind of spiritual connection with him.

But could this also be the temptation of the devil?

Ye Ge opened her bright eyes, a faint smile playing on her lips.

Regardless of the circumstances, he had already made his choice.

Ye Ge slowly walked forward and gently raised her hand.
