Xiao Shen looked around him in bewilderment.

Wait... What the f*ck just f*cking happened?!

One second he was in his dorm busy bloodletting Fairy Silver Star Sage, and by the next he was in the realm of spiral clocks.

"I died??" Xiao Shen was baffled. "How did I even die?! No, WHY did I suddenly just die?!"

People did not just suddenly drop dead and die!

Well, people actually did suddenly drop down and die, but that was only after having a history of medical reports on some terminal illness or being shot with a gun!

He felt particularly perplexed, as he suddenly realized that he had been dying way too much.

He had become Xiao ’multiple deaths per day’ Shen.

If the regression was not infinite, did this not mean that he would eventually run out of regressions and actually die one day?

That was an exceedingly scary thought!

"Ah, the main thing is to return first." Xiao Shen sighed inwardly. Most likely, he would have to endure the pain of dozens of sharp knives tearing through his soul while hot rods were stuck into his brain through his ears and violently stirred. Touching the clock nearest to his location meant that he would return to the exact point of death, and, while that would show him how exactly he had perished this time around, he would most likely die again.

To avoid that unpleasant fate, he would then have to reach further into the spiralling clocks and touch one relatively further away.

Xiao Shen reached out to touch the clock closest to him, and descended back into his body in the dorm...

Is what would have happened, if a giant palm did not suddenly tear through the void above and grab him at him.

Xiao Shen was like WTF!!!

Wasn’t this his special regression space?!

Why had someone broken in?!

No, HOW had someone broken in?!

Even the god-like existences in the livestream did not know about this regression ability of his...

Er, no. It would be best to not use those fellows as comparisons anymore. His lofty impression of them had decreased by -1000 points when they were busy currying favor with Fairy Silver Star Sage!

He moved away, trying to dodge the giant palm grabbing at him, only for the feeling of sharp knives cutting his soul to assault his senses.

"Hiss~!" Xiao Shen winced in pain and did not dare move backwards.

It was like rubbing salt on an open injury, only some hundred million times worse!

As he stopped moving, the giant hand advanced forward and grabbed him in its fist. However, Xiao Shen, in a bid to escape it, let himself loose and dispersed.

One had to remember that he did not have a corporeal form in this spiraling clock realm!

He willed himself to gathering at a distance from the hand and grinned triumphantly.

"Ahaha, you want to catch me? Naive! I am Xiao ’never lost in a game of tag before’ Shen!"

From his childhood till today, the amount of people that had been able to outmaneuver him or outrun him in any situation could be counted on a single hand!

Now that he had managed to escape the gigantic hand, all he had to do was touch a clock and return to his body.

"Argh!!" Xiao Shen cried out as a sharp pain suddenly tore through his very essence of existence.

It was horrifyingly painful.

It was terrifyingly agonizing.

It was a pain that had transcended the range of screaming ’F*ck!’, such that merely describing the pain alone would be enough to write an essay of ten thousand characters and more!

Xiao Shen froze as his mind crashed for a few seconds due to the sensory overload. At the same time, the palm descended once more and swiftly grabbed at him.

"Must... resist..." The pain had brought him to the verge of tears and froze his body while temporarily crashing his mind, but seeing the giant palm descending upon him once more made him to instinctively react.

What would work once might not necessarily work twice, but based on the probability that the other party was not expecting such move, doing it again was worth a shot. Thus, Xiao Shen directly dispersed his illusory self once more in order to evade the giant hand!

The hand froze in the air as his incorporeal mass turned into fog and spread. Then, it receded and vanished from sight.

Xiao Shen was currently in a strange state between inexistent and non existent, but was still able to observe the surroundings around him, even though it seemed as if there was some kind of foggy barrier blocking him.

This way, he could tell that the giant hand had left!

"Fuu..." Xiao Shen let out a deep breath of relief as he prepared to will himself back. His plan was to immediately touch a clock and return as soon as possible!

However, the giant hand suddenly tore through space just as he was about to will himself back into existence.

Xiao Shen was speechless.

This giant palm can actually launch sneak attacks!

If he had been careless and willed himself back a second ago, then the hand would have grabbed him in an instant!

He felt very smart at this moment...

However, his joy was short lived as the palm suddenly brought out a hair dryer. Yes. A gigantic hair dryer suddenly popped out of the void.

"...." Xiao Shen.

That was something he could easily recognize despite the fog blocking his perception!

And, once again, WTF?!!

What kind of development was this?!!

The palm then brought out a thin cloth and placed it over the back of the hair dryer, before bringing out a giant bottle water’s plastic bottle and cutting it into two.

"..." Xiao Shen was even more speechless!

Was the hand doing this so that he would will himself back and try to quickly touch a clock, giving it the chance to catch him??

In the span of a few seconds, the hand had fitted the top half of the bottle over the cloth covered back of the hair dryer. The hand then clicked it on, and Xiao Shen suddenly felt a terrifying suction force.

"....." Xiao Shen twitched the corners of his lips.

The hand even knew DIY handcraft?!

Update: a giant hand suddenly made a DIY vacuum cleaner and is using it to suck me in.

Urgently waiting for a reply!!

He was now in the famous situation called being between a devil and a hard place!

Or was it said as a rock and the red sea...

Ugh, anyways, it seemed like he was stuck where he currently was.

If he did not will himself back, then he would be vacuumed!

If he did will himself back, even he would get seized by the giant palm!

He was currently far from the respawn point and was being assaulted by the agonizing pain tormenting his soul, so moving away was not an option either!

Although he felt like the giant hand finally managing to catch and capture him was not a good thing, getting captured was still getting captured and he was only delaying the inevitable from happening by resisting!

Brrr!

The suction force increased and Xiao Shen’s fog like state was being sucked up into the plastic bottle.

He gritted his teeth and tried to keep himself together as he was being sucked away.

Only after Xiao Shen’s incorporeal foggy form has been sucked away did the giant hand remove itself from the time spiral realm through a space crack, carrying him along.

***

Xiao Shen felt several incoherent laws and principles flash past his mind as he was taken through the spatial gate. They seemed familiar, bit he could not recall where he had seen them before.

Before he could process any of these new information, however, he found himself sitting on a swivel chair in a massive white space.

Xiao Shen blinked his eyes. The giant hand did not harm him in any way??

He had expected to be crushed, or torn apart, or smushed into mush on some flat surface once the hand grabbed hold of him. Yet, such a thing really did not happen!

It was a miracle!

"Where is this place..." Xiao Shen thought as he looked around. All he could see was infinite whiteness everywhere. There was no roof, or ceiling boards or doors or even walls, making the place just a very large white dimension of whiteness!

"Hello?" Xiao Shen called out, hearing his voice echo. "Is anyone here?"

At the same time, he thought in his mind, who the f*ck drafted the design of this place? The place is too bland, one star rating!

If one were to be in a room painted completely black, they would feel like the place was bone chilling. If the place was white, they would feel like it was heart stifling.

The feeling of being alone in a small black room was claustrophobic, while that of a large white room made one feel very lonely. Not to mention the fact that it was extremely annoying as he could not even see the ends of this dimension of whiteness!

"Oh, a one star rating? I didn’t know the design was that bad..." A woman’s voice suddenly rang out.

"Eh? Someone is here!" Xiao Shen immediately turned around to see a table and chair that had appeared out of nowhere. A woman was leaning back on the chair and casually eating an apple.

"Yes. I am here, have always been here, and will always be here." She said with a smile.

"Who are you? No, where is this??" Xiao Shen asked.

"Hmm. You are in Heaven." The woman shrugged her shoulders.
