The Yog Worm King is in a panic, swearing profusely.

But in fact, it already knows who the next "existence" to descend and annihilate Tang Qi will be.

Not only it knows, but Tang Qi himself, as well as Sally, also knows.

The answer is too obvious, almost without concealment.

"The only enemies that can kill me are those few, who've all appeared one after another, leaving only the one at the source."

"And my friends, the most likely to help me, the Big Octopus, has now gone beyond the boundless mystery and definitely can't make it in time."

"The rest of my friends, they are weaker than me, what meaning is there in them coming?"

"I was still a step too late, no, ever since I met the 'Resentful Soul Lady' and learned of that failed sage's existence, I was destined not to ascend to supreme divinity before those giant Ancient Gods awoke."

Tang Qi's mind, thoughts swirling.

In his eyes, there is no panic or confusion, but rather a clarity that comes only after gaining insight into endless mysteries.

Although the ascension process was cut off, the "Eye of Origin" is still irreversibly integrating into his soul.

This means there are no secrets in the boundless mystery that can escape Tang Qi's gaze.

In a certain sense, Tang Qi is approaching "all-knowing" at a terrifying speed.

After all, the Eye of Origin in the depths of his soul has actually touched the Eternal Source, and this eyeball has transformed.

The great power hidden within is being received by Tang Qi.

Thus, Tang Qi continuously accelerates towards doomsday, towards death.

"Strictly speaking, I'm only half a step late; my current position has already broken free from the dominator level."

"How far from supreme? Hmm, still some distance, not truly all-knowing."

"At least, that one called 'Merciless Sage,' the wise man from the Second Endless, what exactly does he want to do, even now, I cannot discern."

"We haven't even met; did he learn of me through the [Resentful Soul Lady]? Or something else? But why must he wipe out my existence?"

"Not speaking to me, not flaunting, just setting a death trap, making the Supreme Deer God, the Young Creator, the Eternal Day Mad King, these three supreme divinities, attack me in succession... If it were the Lady of Destiny, she'd have come early to gloat, taunt me, mock me with a sharp tongue."

"We still have a chance; I can leverage the fates of all spirits and all living beings..."

Sally, tightly entangled with Tang Qi, suddenly spoke.

The mysterious aura of the new Fate Goddess has now dissipated; she is now a stubborn, obsessive girl.

In the depths of her mind, it's all plans to save her partner.

The first she utters is rather mad.

The so-called "leveraging the fates of all spirits and all living beings" is essentially kidnapping all the life forms of the boundless mystery to fight desperately against the coming enemy.

If Sally really does that, it might indeed block that terrifying enemy.

But the aftermath, Sally could not bear.

One must know, the previous Lady of Fate did all this, but spent long ages to lay the groundwork.

Using a method too simple and brutal, Sally would be backfired and die in an instant.

Tang Qi, hearing this, did not voice opposition or approval.

He simply embraced the enchanting and graceful figure beneath the girl's robe with both body and tentacles, perfectly aligning from mind to body.

Tang Qi didn't need to speak, for at this moment, Sally communicated with his mind.

"The Ancient Gods slumbering beneath the Black Mud, the sovereigns of the Dark Universe, the war between them and me was destined from the moment I descended upon the Origin Star with that eyeball in the inferior soul-switch artifact. This isn't even destiny; it's more an narratives' immutable 'setting'."

"It was bound to happen; if it didn't, it would mean I failed to reach this point, leading to a worse result."

"Merciless Sage merely used certain permissions to accelerate the occurrence of this setting." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"But in reality, the Origin Divine Race, and other supreme divinities... they all aren't important; what's crucial is me. Does he want me to indulge in 'reversing the setting,' 'changing the ending'?"

Half the ascension, all mysteries glimpsed by Tang Qi, bringing him close to all-knowing.

As these thoughts rose, Sally clearly sensed Tang Qi's excitement.

At this moment, Tang Qi's attention entirely shifted from the "Eternal Day Mad King," the "Young Creator," and other supreme divinities of "Origin Divine Race" that may descend to kill Tang Qi at any unknown moment.

It seemed he wasn't concerned about life or death, not pondering at all on how to break the situation.

This had never occurred in the past.

Since Messer City, Tang Qi has faced countless crises, often contemplating on the spot, using "All-Knowing" to find loopholes.

Time and again, almost every time, he succeeded.

This was enough to form a certain inertia for Tang Qi, an unconscious arrogance and pride, a mental tendency to indulge each time indiscriminately.

If nothing unexpected happens, Tang Qi would do the same this time.

Endeavoring to contemplate how to defeat a group of Origin Divine Races?

Striving to seek help?

Exerting to find loopholes?

Perhaps, Tang Qi might eventually survive.

But surely, another terrible consequence would occur, leading to a conclusion Tang Qi absolutely couldn't tolerate.

"Even though we haven't met, it seems the Merciless Sage knows me very well."

"Better than most friends and enemies."

"This is really unfair. I learned about you from a lady soaked with the stench of resentful souls, while you've been watching me from the shadows, and for quite some time, haven't you?"
