When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 979 - 377: Unreliable Method (Part 3)

"Can't solve it, or are you just afraid of offending that Unparalleled Demon Spirit in the Magnetic Pole Cave?" Li Xiu snorted coldly.

"I swear to heaven and earth, I've been entrusted by that great one to ensure your safety. If anything happens to you, I won't be able to explain myself. If there was a way, why would I stay silent?" protested the Evil Luo King immediately.

"Well, there's no solution then. My sister's whereabouts are unknown; contacting her seems impossible for the time being. We're just sitting here waiting to die." Li Xiu said, sitting down directly without attempting to flee, watching as the worm gradually crawled towards him, nearly touching his leg.

"Don't do that, at least keep some distance..." The Evil Luo King was startled, but Li Xiu remained unmoved.

The worm was about to touch Li Xiu's pants when the Evil Luo King exclaimed urgently, "My little ancestor, you're really trying to kill me, get up quickly. I have a way; is it not enough if I say it?"

"You should have said so earlier." Li Xiu laughed and stood up, creating some distance between him and the worm.

With resignation, the Evil Luo King said, "I do know a method, but I'm not certain it really works. It's just hearsay; I can't guarantee it's effective. Moreover, if this method does work, we'll be forming a vendetta with the existence within the Magnetic Pole Cave, which will make future visits to the Demon Spirit Realm even more cumbersome."

"Let's solve the immediate problem first, and worry about future issues later." Li Xiu smiled.

Reluctantly, the Evil Luo King disclosed the method he had heard to Li Xiu.

Yellow Springs Worms live for years within the Nine Netherworld's Yellow Springs, naturally making them spectral creatures, hence possessing an Undying Body. Killing them is nearly impossible.

Additionally, they harbor the Magnetic Attraction Core Light, listed among the Ten Great Divine Lights, also known as the magnetic light from the Magnetic Pole Cave. They are inherently formidable, with almost no weakness.

However, everything has its method; there is no such thing as perfect. The Evil Luo King heard that the Yellow Springs Worm has a unique weakness. Target this weakness, and it's possible to kill it directly.

"Are you sure you know what you're talking about? Not joking with me?" Li Xiu widened his eyes in disbelief, staring at the Evil Luo King after hearing this supposed weakness.

"When I heard it, I too felt it was a joke. But the person who told it held a high position in the Bottomless Pit, so there was some credibility. Of course, back then, I listened to it as an amusing anecdote, as I wasn't aware Yellow Springs Worms were real. I thought the guy was boasting until I saw one today and realized they do exist. Since what he described turns out to be true, maybe this method is real too." The Evil Luo King appeared slightly doubtful, unsure if the method was genuinely useful.

"You want me to directly swallow the Yellow Springs Worm, and this method seems truly feasible?" Li Xiu questioned, wondering if the Evil Luo King intended to put him in deadly peril.

The cold force from the Yellow Springs Worm could shatter Divine Position Level materials, and swallowing it, Li Xiu feared, the cold would tear through his throat and freeze him to pieces before it reached his stomach.

"I also find the method rather strange, but there's logic to it. The Yellow Springs Worm is a spectral entity, fearing yang energy most. The human mouth is where yang gathers; all things born in the mortal world enter through it, making it the burial ground of countless suns, ideally combating the Yellow Springs Worm. Avoid contact by hand, directly swallow it whole with one breath. The yang annihilates the yin, and the worm dissolves upon entry like jelly, swallowed in a slurp, rendering it truly dead." explained the Evil Luo King.

"Old Luo, haven't I usually treated you kindly?" Li Xiu said softly while eyeing the Golden Dinner Knife.

The Evil Luo King thought inwardly, "Kind my foot; you've never considered me during good times, always sending me first in peril. I'm just cleaning up your mess, and you dare claim to treat me well?"

He dared not voice his thoughts, quickly responding, "We're as close as brothers; you've naturally treated me exceedingly well."

Li Xiu made a bitter smile, "Of course, I know these days tagging along with me has brought you plenty of hardships. But for my sister's sake, don't try to harm me, alright?"

"I must swear to heaven and earth, how could I harm you? Everything I said is truly what I heard. If a single word is false, may I be struck by heavenly thunder, never achieving Unparalleled status." The Evil Luo King vowed fervently, "Besides, I do find the method somewhat plausible. Initially, I hesitated to mention it, but you pressed, leaving me no choice."

"If there's no means, you should at least refrain from fabrication." Li Xiu further questioned.

"No fabrications, really. Okay, initially, I didn't see the need to bring it up. But since you asked, I've no choice but to share. I heard this from the wife of a king of the Bottomless Pit's monarch, who said the monarch himself confirmed it, adding some likelihood to it." The Evil Luo King confessed.

"The wife of the Bottomless Pit's monarch, why would she tell you these things?" Li Xiu questioned the Evil Luo King intently.

"Well, er... alright... it's because that foolish woman is dead now... it doesn't matter saying it... I was her confidant..." replied the Evil Luo King.

"Adulterer is what it is, why sugarcoat it?" Li Xiu dismissed.

"Cough, cough, don't make it sound so unpleasant. I merely consoled a lonely, helpless, wounded soul," the Evil Luo King justified.

"Your affairs don't concern me; I only want to know if this method is real or fake." Li Xiu stated.

"I think there's a plausibility. That night, I poured my heart out just to uncover this bit, and she swore by heaven, insisting it was firsthand from the king, assuring no deception." The Evil Luo King said.

Li Xiu eyed the creeping worm, sensing something off about the situation, such a terrifying entity, expecting him to swallow directly — it could very well lead to catastrophe.

However, apart from this method, Li Xiu honestly couldn't think of any other solution.

"To swallow or not to swallow?" Li Xiu stared at the worm, lost in thought.
