Chapter 1119 - 872 Shame

```

Clang.

The container hit the ground, and Landers collapsed stiffly. Little Zi immediately went over to him, inspected him closely, and then said, "Don’t worry, the missing memories have just been restored, he’s just a little dizzy."

"No! Elma! You can’t do this! You can’t take away my memories!"

Landers roared loudly, raising his hand to conjure a magic spell to hurl at them.

Little Zi hurriedly cast a calming spell to help Landers relax.

"Landers, look at me clearly. Do you see who I am?" Long Yi said.

Landers woke up from his daze and finally saw that it was Long Yi in front of him. In an instant, his face flushed red.

"Hey, hey, what’s with the reddening face? Just so we’re clear, if you’re a pervert, I’ll knock you out with a punch right now." Even the formidable Long Yi took a few steps back in fright.

"No, I just feel very ashamed," Landers said.

"Ashamed? It seems you understand what you’ve done quite well." Long Yi laughed.

"Yes, my memories have been restored... including everything I’ve ever done," Landers sighed heavily.

"Interested in sharing your adventures with me?"

"This... must be my bad luck."

It turned out that not only was Long Yi looking for Landers, but the Ancient Mage Tower was seeking him as well. Fortunately for Elma, she found him first. In fact, this was all thanks to the Ancient Mage Tower’s previous planetary control plan; although it was ultimately destroyed by Long Yi, it allowed them to secretly capture Landers.

At first, Elma tried to persuade Landers to join the Ancient Mage Tower, but Landers did not want to be enemies with Long Yi, so Elma resorted to forceful methods.

The Ancient Mage Tower had developed a way to tamper with memories, purely on a physical level, leaving no magical traces. This was why they could trick Little Zi’s inspection. And what followed was as Long Yi knew, they deliberately let the news slip to him so that he would find Landers. This was the real reason why those guarding Landers were so relaxed; their actual intention was to have Landers taken away by Long Yi.

"But I didn’t expect Elma to place your real memories here, to make me believe that all this was true. This script is quite realistic indeed. But is she so confident that I would die here?" Long Yi looked at Landers and then the Ancient Mage Tower mages around them.

"No... I don’t believe it," Long Yi stared at Landers, "Do you still remember your reverse summoning magic?"

"That’s exactly why I feel ashamed," Landers said, "that part of my memory is still in Elma’s hands."

Long Yi laughed.

Yes, this was the habit Elma should have.

"If I give you some time, could you redevelop this magic?" Long Yi asked.

"I should be able to!" Landers’s eyes lit up at the thought that he might be able to make amends.

"Hmm, I guess Elma could have guessed this as well, which is why she sent these people," Long Yi said, looking into the eyes of the people around him. He then paused for a moment before continuing, "Perhaps those who just ran away weren’t trying to avoid us but them."

Those from the Ancient Mage Tower who had just shown limitless cowardice all burst into laughter at the same time, each slapping their chest. Following this, they began to crystallize rapidly from their chests, and their bodies swelled up too!

"Hahaha, Long Yi! Turn to crystal along with this world!"

In a blink of an eye, the dozen or so mages had all turned into Crazy Demons!

Unlike ordinary Crazy Demons, however, these were slightly smaller in size and their oppressive force was insufficient. Watching the Crazy Demons charge at him, Long Yi summoned his Crystal Stone armor and charged towards them. Being also made of crystal, Long Yi’s Crystal Stone armor was obviously more robust, shattering the first Crazy Demon on impact!

However, the shattered Crazy Demons couldn’t be destroyed just like that; as long as their Crystal Core remained, they could regenerate. The scattered crystal shards began regenerating towards the Crystal Core, but Long Yi ignored them and rushed towards the next Crystal Demon, swinging his fists in a fury. These Crystal Demons were smashed to pieces before they could even steady themselves!

"Mage blast! Kill him with your magic!" The leading Crystal Demon roared. At once, mana surged within all the Crystal Demons, and spells were cast one after another. Having become Crazy Demons, their magic power also strengthened, significantly improving their casting speed and spell intensity. This delighted them greatly, but this significant enhancement was relative only to themselves, and to Long Yi, it was meaningless.

Long Yi didn’t even bother to cast any spells; all he did was smash the Crazy Demons one by one!

In no time at all, Long Yi had shattered every single Crazy Demon present!

"Come on, let’s change it up and go another round!"

Long Yi roared with laughter at the Crazy Demons that had regenerated.

These mages-turned-Crazy Demons hadn’t even fully adapted to their bodies, making their movements clumsy. Even though their magical powers were greatly increased, in close combat with Long Yi, they couldn’t think of any effective strategy. In past experiments, mages who turned into Crazy Demons, with their Crystal Stone bodies, were capable of withstanding the impact of ordinary spells.

But the problem was, Long Yi didn’t use any spells at all!

The Crystal Stone bodies of Crazy Demons just couldn’t withstand immense physical impact, a truth Long Yi had concluded in the Crystal Demon plane. Now you think to use Crazy Demons against me? That’s a cosmic joke!

In an instant, almost every Crazy Demon had been smashed to pieces three times by Long Yi. Most of their time was not spent attacking, but regenerating their bodies. Although regenerating was a natural instinct for Crazy Demons, it was completely a waste of time!

"Long Yi! I know you are strong! None of us can match you! But what about this?!"

```

The leading Crazy Demon bellowed loudly.

"Bang! Bang!"

One after another, Crazy Demons exploded, sending crystalline shards flying in all directions.

Over a dozen Crystal Cores flew out, fusing together. Then, a myriad of crystals gathered in the air, gradually forming into a gigantic Crazy Demon!

"We have completely fused together! How are you going to defeat me now?" the newly born Crazy Demon cackled.

"Lingling?" Long Yi called out, and Lingling appeared.

"Show them, how we deal with Crazy Demons."

Lingling complied with the order, transforming one hand into a Light Cannon, and a red targeting laser pointed directly at the giant Crazy Demon’s chest.

"Anti-Crazy Demon Light Cannon, charging complete," Lingling said. Since acquiring a body made from Cosmic Stone, Lingling’s charging speed for the Light Cannon had increased significantly.

"Fire!"

Boom!

A beam of light shot forth, hitting the Crystal Core where the Crazy Demons had merged, shattering it into pieces!

The gigantic Crazy Demon had not expected that Long Yi could kill it so easily—it wore a look of disbelief on its face. But then, it suddenly roared, "No! Even if I die, you won’t survive! Become Crazy Demons, all of you! Hahahahaha!"

The body of the Crazy Demon began to disintegrate, and deadly Crystal Poison spread out. However, Long Yi just stood there, then raised his hand.

"To prevent me from obtaining your knowledge, the contingency you set was quite sufficient. Even if he couldn’t capture you, he intended to kill you. It’s just a pity; he miscalculated one thing, my understanding of Crystal Poison is much more profound than his!"

Long Yi raised his hand, and all the crystals in the sky were absorbed in front of him, forming a gigantic crystalline mass, not a single trace of Crystal Poison was missed.

"Alright! No need for the Space Barrier anymore," Long Yi said.

The Female Demon avatars immediately fell from the sky, reverting back into a bracelet on Little Zi’s wrist.

From the beginning, Long Yi had felt that something was off, which is why he had the Female Demon avatars set up a Space Barrier.

"I... I truly feel ashamed..." Landers was somewhat incoherent, unsure of what to say.

"You don’t need to feel ashamed; after all, it’s not your fault. What you need to do now is to recreate that spell for me. Of course, before that, we will conduct a full body check to ensure you haven’t brought anything in," Long Yi instructed.

"Yes, I understand," Landers said, bowing his head.

"Ah, how nice it would’ve been if you hadn’t run away back then in the Sanctuary Empire. If you had told me the spell directly, I would probably be enjoying myself in the middle Plane by now," Long Yi remarked wistfully.

"How would I know you were only after the spell? I was afraid of dying!" Landers confessed.

"In any case, it’s hard to predict how the world turns," Long Yi said with a wry smile.

Not obtaining Landers’ spell but managing to capture Landers himself was a minor success. However, Elma plotting such an immense conspiracy against him was something Long Yi had totally not expected.

But.

For the moment.

That was not Long Yi’s primary concern.

Long Yi had released the Sword King from his contract, allowing him to regain his freedom, yet Long Yi did not believe that was the end of it. Long Yi had circled the planet, and upon his return, his expression was grave, realizing that this sealed biosphere had not only failed to evolve as the Giants had initially envisioned but had instead become extremely peculiar.

The majority of the species initially created by the Giants were now few and far between. Nearly every remaining species had a king, and these kings barely showed any activity, similar to the Green King and the Sword King.

Conversely, the smaller creatures that Giants hadn’t much focused on, those introduced to enrich biodiversity, seemed to have grown up happily and healthily.

The root cause was simple.

Wisdom.

The Giants had granted these beings wisdom too early. These created lives were born with inherent wisdom, which was not the product of natural evolution. As such, they felt a profound disconnection from this world, believing themselves not to belong here. This constant sense of alienation troubled them; had the Giants continued guiding them, perhaps they would have taken root here. But perhaps because this was a ’sealed’ biosphere, the Giants did not intend to intervene too much. Then, when the Giants realized their mistake and prepared to step in, they were forced to leave due to the betrayal of the Dragon Clan, causing these beings to develop a strong sense of abandonment.

That’s why they referred to this planet as Second Hell, for in their eyes, they were exiled here.

In the end, the situation had evolved into its current state.

And regarding this, Long Yi was powerless. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
