After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 337 - 121 The Most Important Thing for Players is... to Know How to Play_2
She bowed her head slightly, her expression respectful.
"If I become the Monster Witch, I will not be able to stay by Ahtal’s side."
"Is that so," the Witch of Death nodded slightly and glanced at Sharon beside her, who cooperatively poured a cup of tea for the little mare.
"Come and sit."
"..." The little mare hesitated for a moment but eventually walked over obediently and sat down opposite the Witch of Death, smoothing her skirt.
"The magic to transform into the Monster Witch will allow you to become the Monster Witch," the Witch of Death took out a scroll and gently pushed it across the table to the little mare.
"If you’re interested, you might want to try it."
"..." The little mare picked up the scroll from the table, opened it to take a look, and found that she could not understand it. Being just a mare, she lacked advanced magical knowledge, even though she knew the scroll in front of her could grant her the power of the Monster Witch.
Not understanding it was of no help.
The Witch of Death, also sensing the little mare’s embarrassment, calmly said, "You can go to the Magic Kingdom for further study, or find the Memory Demon to inject the memory of ’understanding’ into your brain."
"Yes." The little mare obediently responded and continued to look at the magic of becoming the Monster Witch. After trying and failing to understand it, she decided to seek help from the Memory Demon; otherwise, learning by herself might take a very long time.
For all she knew, the world might have been reduced to ashes before she could learn it.
"Don’t delve too deeply into the magic of becoming the Monster Witch," the Witch of Death suddenly added, "although you probably don’t have the capacity to achieve it, the essence of this magic is intended to resurrect deceased witches and demons."
Little Mare: "..."
How could she suddenly start insulting her, though she was also one of the top monsters, created by the Monster Witch herself, and the fastest divine steed in the world.

Two days later.
In a coastal kingdom.
Waves crashed onto the beach, splashing white foam before fiercely retreating, a cycle that seemed endless.
"The power of temperature is really useful," the Tiger King lay on the beach, his head on the belly of a female tiger, speaking to a white-haired, cold-tempered man beside him, "in a fight with the strongest human, Sol, Koil, how confident are you?"
"I don’t need to win. I just need to keep him occupied so he doesn’t have time to detoxify," Koil shook his head, extended his palm downward, and a bowl shape faintly appeared before suddenly expanding, covering the entire coastal kingdom like an inverted large bowl.
The temperature changed at that moment, and falling snowflakes instantly turned into raindrops that fell to the ground, turning into streams.
"But it would be better if we could kill him directly," he added, looking towards the high walls of the coastal city and pressing his palm down fiercely.
"Boom!" A towering fire engulfed the city, burning tightly against the barrier, that was the power of "temperature."
The Tiger King stood up, his leg muscles suddenly bulging, and explosively shot forward like a cannonball, accompanied by white vapor rings exploding in circles, and struck a punch against the barrier covering the city.
"Bang!" The engulfing flames were blown away as the Tiger King’s fist resonated with the barrier covering the city a million times, instantly shattering it.
"What is that?" A noble girl on the street covered her mouth, revealing a frightened expression, but soon she calmed down a bit.
The tiger-headed beast descending from the sky hadn’t even landed before being struck away by a sudden purple arrow, disappearing into the horizon like a shooting star.
"Cough, cough, cough... don’t worry." A slightly weak voice came, and the noble girl turned her head to see a man holding a large bow approaching. He carried two large swords on his back and looked somewhat pale.
"The trouble will be resolved soon," Sol smiled at the startled girl, then vanished on the spot as a bolt of lightning.
However, the noble girl felt even more uneasy as she saw Sol, deemed the strongest human, showing a weak expression.
This was something she had never seen before, always believing Sol to be an invincible man since her birth.
And now his face was pale.
"Bang!" As the lightning struck the ground, Sol removed the swords from his back, his gaze coldly settling on Koil opposite him, and inquired:
"You’ve allied with those monsters of the deep sea, haven’t you?"
"..." Koil nodded indifferently, his palm ignited with flames mixed with the power of death, he dared not be careless even against the strongest humans.
"Does Ahtal know of your actions?" Sol asked another question, and seeing Koil shake his head, he revealed a relieved smile, "Well, that’s really good, I wouldn’t want to be enemies with Ahtal."
"We will kill you before Ahtal returns." Koil took a step forward, the moist ground emitted white smoke, and the beach dissolved into magma.
Just then, the Tiger King, who had been shot away by arrows, returned, falling from the sky like a meteor, and threw his fist at Sol from high above with layers of ripples emanating from his fist.
At the same time, Koil responded by swinging his fist wrapped in black flames without any hesitation, trying to swiftly strike down Sol.
Otherwise, things would be difficult upon Ahtal’s return.
"Boom!" The collision sent shockwaves through the sky, causing even the ocean to rise up in enormous waves, pushing them toward the depths of the sea, where a giant serpent large enough to encircle the kingdom poked its head out, its gaze coldly fixed on the shoreline.
For the resurrection of the dead Monster Witch, all monsters must follow their deepest desires, consuming each other’s power to transform into the legendary Tifeng; thus, they must come ashore.
However, Sol blocked their way.
...
...
Beneath the Tree of Omniscience.
Temple of Omniscience.
Eden looked up slightly, gazing at Ahtal hanging from the tree, silently waiting for Ahtal’s ritual to complete.
Seven days had passed.
With the power of the Tree of Omniscience, it should be able to thoroughly analyze Ahtal’s growth in abilities, allowing Ahtal to have a clear plan for his future.
Sometimes the hardest thing in the world isn’t effort, but the inability to achieve results despite the effort, and this unknown can make one choose to stop progressing.
And the greatest ability of the Tree of Omniscience is to provide "accurate" foresight, letting you know how to strive, and what results and directions of growth to expect.
In some ways, the Tree of Omniscience is similar to a wishing machine, telling people how to achieve their desires and goals.
Moreover, the means and methods it provides are definitely achievable by the individual involved.
And just then,
"Snap~" The ropes binding Ahtal snapped, and his body fell downward just before plunging into the Spring of Wisdom.
Eden caught Ahtal in a princess carry just as his weak eyes opened, she whispered softly:
"Did it succeed?"
"Yes, it succeeded." Xi Mu looked up at the temple ceiling, "I’m almost enchanted by the Tree of Omniscience."
"Even gods can be captivated by the Tree of Omniscience," Eden muttered while stepping out of the Spring of Wisdom to the shore.
She laid Ahtal down, using her knees as a pillow.
"However, if one blindly pursues knowledge, then fundamentally, they are no different from the books that record that knowledge, I hope you remember that."
"Understood." Xi Mu smiled, "Just as you guessed, my ability’s direction of advancement is to set the rules of the game."
He rubbed against Eden’s silk-wrapped legs, the tactile sensation making him feel exceedingly comfortable, almost sleepy.
But he continued to speak to Eden nevertheless.
"The most important aspect of a ’player’ ability is to play, and to play, one must set the rules of the game, applying them so that both parties must adhere to the agreed effects."
Eden looked down at Ahtal lying on her knees, instinctively rubbing her legs, and thoughtfully said:
"Then your ascension ritual to become a Demon must also be related to this, right?"
