"Your possessions?"

"Absurdity of the world, the Deceit Realm hand suppressed by the Holy Object dares to oppose me, you’re not afraid of death, are you."

"But it doesn’t matter to me, I haven’t eaten anything supernatural in a long time; the moment I saw you, I seemed to feel hungry."

"Alright then, I’ll make an exception and treat you as my meal."

Flames soared on Frank’s body, the charred black material on him was incinerated by black fire.

Black bones emerged from the flames, and in moments, he was wielding a sharp hook and began fighting the Deceit Realm hand.

The Deceit Realm hand seemed fearful of the black flame and only tangled with Frank from a distance, not daring to get too close.

"Haha, Deceit Realm hand, you’re scared, aren’t you? You’re just a Low Tier supernatural entity, while I’m an indomitable soul born from the flames; I’m far more noble than you."

"Deceit Realm hand, let me give you some advice, if you don’t want to die, I’ll send you to the Inner World."

"Quite a few supernaturals like gnawing on claws."

"You escaped from there, you should know the terror it holds."

Frank grinned, his menacing hollow skull silently mocking the Deceit Realm hand.

"Hmph, like watching chicks pecking at each other, can’t you be more serious."

"Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm, get on it."

Ye Bai’s voice came from afar.

"Who, who’s there, who dares threaten Lord Frank!"

"Hmph, now I’ll show you how perceptive Master Ma is."

A surge of flames erupted once more from Frank’s body, spreading across the ground.

"Burn it, burn everything here to ashes."

"Reduce everything to ashes!"

The black flames spread, incinerating everything in their path.

"The more souls that are incinerated, the stronger I become!"

Frank tore open his hoarse voice and shouted loudly.

But a slender thread interrupted Frank’s great roar.

"Noisy."

Frank’s body disintegrated within the flames as a slender thread pierced his bones.

The Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm directly took off Frank’s skull, turning it into a decoration on its body.

"How is this possible, how can this be, my power is all gone."

A voice full of despair echoed inside the skull.

But the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm found the guy troublesome and immediately spat out sticky threads to gag the skull’s mouth.

Muffled cries sounded!

Frank grew extremely agitated as he could no longer speak.

"Who are you people?"

"Humans, how could there be such anomalies among you, and moreover, it doesn’t seem to be a supernatural entity you’re contracted with."

"Are you people from outside?"

The Deceit Realm hand exclaimed in shock.

"Not good, I must send this message back to the Inner World!"

The Deceit Realm hand spoke in awe.

Unfortunately, before the Deceit Realm hand could act, a thread completely bound it.

"Deceit Realm hand, your consciousness can fall into eternal sleep, as I say."

Ye Bai picked up the Holy Object from the ground and stuffed it directly into the Deceit Realm hand’s mouth.

"Blegh, blegh."

The Deceit Realm hand dry-heaved a few times, not only failing to spit out the Holy Object but also suddenly emitting bursts of light.

The body previously occupied by the Deceit Realm hand exuded copious black smoke, and numerous open eyes closed one after another.

In no time, the Deceit Realm hand receded back into the human body, and the middle-aged man gradually regained clarity.

"Strange, wasn’t my consciousness devoured by the Deceit Realm hand?"

"How can I recover, what on earth happened to me?"

The middle-aged man seemed slightly puzzled as he looked at the Deceit Realm hand.

Then, he suddenly noticed Ye Bai.

"Did you save me?"

"My name is Ivy, a Tier Five Demon Control Master!"

"Benefactor, what is your name?"

Ye Bai didn’t reveal his name; instead, he spoke a codename, "Call me Great Horse Monkey."

"As you can see, I’m a traveler from outside, though not exactly sure why I came to this world."

"I’m very interested in your world and want to understand what exactly happened here to lead this world to such a state."

"By the way, I noticed the food here can’t be eaten and appears quite bitter, what’s the story there?"

Ye Bai continued to ask.

"Benefactor, this world has already been occupied by the supernatural entities; us humans are merely sheep awaiting slaughter."

"The supernaturals have corralled us by town unit, weaving numerous plots making us believe this is a real town where we can fight and dominate the supernaturals."

"But I gradually discovered something wrong."

"Because I found a supernatural entity resides within the town mayor, manipulating him; he needs to absorb human blood periodically."

"I shared my discovery with others, only to be dismissed for daydreaming."

"The very next day, the mayor summoned me, and caught me off guard, wanting to devour my flesh."

"In panic, I activated the Holy Object, severed the mayor’s hand, and fled."

"Eventually, I utilized the Holy Object to suppress the Deceit Realm hand and formed a contract, becoming a Tier Five Demon Control Master myself."

"Master, I wish to leave this world and lead a normal life; can you fulfill this wish?"

Ivy knelt on the ground and pleaded with Ye Bai.

"I’m merely a human who is slightly stronger; in truth, I too am searching for ways out of here."

"By the way, you should tidy this place up; I want to understand exactly what’s going on here."

"How do you acquire food in the wilderness, and how many Demon Control Masters do you have?"

These were all things Ye Bai desired to know.

"This is the survivor camp I built and there’s only fifty-plus people here, among them ten are Demon Control Masters."

"We cultivate much food, and by utilizing the supernatural entities within the Demon Control Masters, we absorb the Yin Qi from the food, making it edible, clean water included."

"Only supernaturals can purify the Yin Qi within food."

"We have always wanted to rebel against the supernaturals, but as you see, our strength is too weak."

"I once advocated to the humans trapped in the town, but they clung to the comforts there, and ultimately failed to depart, instead becoming food for the supernaturals."

"Supernaturals only need humans with strong Spiritual Power, as they can possess these humans, while others are merely treated as food."

"If a generation lacks a strong Spiritual Power human, the humans in the town are treated as food."

"Meanwhile, they migrate a portion back to the town, fabricating false memories that proclaim this town as reclaimed by humans from the supernaturals, holding significant meaning."

After hearing Ivy’s words, Ye Bai realized Ivy’s account matched what Shadow Enigma conveyed.

It seems the supernaturals truly are treating humans as food.

"Ivy, what are your current plans? Do you intend to restore human freedom or something else?"

In the corrals, those humans were like animals; the supernaturals wanted them alive, they lived; the supernaturals wanted them dead, they died.

"I don’t know, I merely wish for humans no longer to be corralled by supernaturals, to overturn the law of this world, allowing humans to become the masters of supernaturals."

"Do you think my mindset is flawed?"

Ivy asked Ye Bai with genuine piety, as if Ye Bai were an emissary of God, capable of extricating them from this hell.

"Honestly speaking, I came to this world to disrupt things; supernaturals standing high above is simply wrong."

"Humans are destined to conquer the supernaturals and become their masters; that’s a notion you grasp well."

"But relying solely on you humans is insufficient; we’ll need more humans, more Demon Control Masters."

"That way, humans can expand in force, enabling us to deal with more supernaturals."

"By the way Ivy, do you know where any other survivor camps are? I’d like to visit their leaders."
