Chapter 269 The Creator’s Back-Up Plan

At this time, Zhang Chu stared at the door at the end with a strange look in his eyes.

The closer he got to the end, the stronger the strength of the fairies holding him on each step became.

This made him feel like he was being pressed by a mountain.

At the end, the light was flowing, and occasionally the sound of dragons and phoenixes could be heard.

Everything seemed to be really like the fairyland recorded in the legend.

At least Zhang Chu couldn't tell the difference.

In Lu Xiao's eyes.

The whole staircase was flowing with dark blood.

From that side came a strong smell of blood that was almost indissoluble.

This smell made Lu Xiao feel like he was about to suffocate.

However, the strange thing was that no one present could smell it except Lu Xiao.

Every time Zhang Chu stepped on a step, the pale arms holding him on the previous step were torn off by him.

And the source of the blood was those arms.

Lu Xiao told Shadow everything he saw.

Shadow fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he said with trembling eyes:

"The existence at the end should be the backup plan of the 'Creator'."

"If I'm not mistaken, He should want to use Zhang Chu's body to come again."

"When he finishes this staircase, it means that he has taken over the authority of the 'Creator'."

Lu Xiao asked curiously, trying to suppress the strong smell of blood in his nose.

"Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

According to Shadow, when Zhang Chu finishes this staircase, he will be the new Creator.

If nothing else, at least Lu Xiao thinks this name is awesome.

But Shadow's eyes are full of worry.

He explained in a deep voice:

"I don't know if you have heard of the earthbound spirit."

"Or the names of mountain gods and river gods."

Hearing this, Lu Xiao shook his head gently.

Because he had no memory of this at this time.

Shadow took a deep breath and then continued to explain:

"They are all called gods, and the authority they hold is related to their territory."

"Taking over the authority of the creator means being bound to the territory."

"You can't go anywhere unless you die."

"For example, if you are the creator of this island, then your authority is related to this island."

"On this island, you have power beyond ordinary gods."

"But you can't leave this island for the rest of your life."

"It's like being imprisoned here."

"Until someone takes over your authority and becomes the new creator."

"Your soul will be freed."

After listening to Shadow's introduction, Lu Xiao nodded gently and said:

"Then what did you say that the creator left behind?"

"What is the back-up?"

"What does he want to do?"

Hearing this, Shadow's eyes became a little gloomy.

He looked at Zhang Chu, who was suspended in the air, with a worried tone.

"He should be unwilling to accept such a fate and wants to use this back-up plan before Zhang Chu becomes the Creator."

"And this back-up plan is most likely to eat him."

Hearing this, Lu Xiao's expression was stunned.

"But, according to what you said before, eating the Creator will become the new Creator."

"Then this Creator eats Zhang Chu, doesn't he become the Creator again?"

"What's the point of doing this?"

Shadow's face became more and more solemn.

His tone became extremely heavy.

"This involves a ritual process."

"After eating the Creator, a ritual is required to take over the authority."

"I guess the content of the ritual is probably what you see."

"If Zhang Chu reaches the end of the stairs, it should mean that he has completed the ritual and is about to become the Creator."

"And the person you said, who waved to Zhang Chu at the end, should be the Creator."

While the two were talking, Zhang Chu had already walked more than half of the way.

The Creator who was waiting for him at the end had a strange smile on his face.

Lu Xiao happened to see this smile, and he pinched his chin and said in a deep voice:

"Is there any chance to stop him?"

"I think that guy is laughing too happily, and I'm a little upset."

Shadow shook his head gently and said, "It should be impossible."

"This requires Zhang Chu to see through it himself."

"And looking at his current state, he should not be able to see through the essence of the matter."

When he finished speaking, his eyes happened to stay on Lu Xiao's face.

Then he looked at Lu Xiao's left eye and fell into deep thought.

At this moment, Bai Suo suddenly said:

"Isn't the Eye of Truth on Lu Xiao's body?"

"Just use the Eye of Truth to kill him!"

The Eye of Truth has the effect of suppressing abilities.

As long as it is in its sight, all abilities will be suppressed.

The reason why Lu Xiao and Zhang Chu saw this ladder differently.

That's because this is a trap set for Zhang Chu.

After all, it is not too difficult to set up illusions for a madman who only wants to become an immortal.

In other words, this staircase is the embodiment of the Creator's power.

This is just within the restraint range of the Eye of Truth.

However, Lu Xiao didn't know how to use this eye at this time.

Thinking of this, Shadow's expression gradually became crazy.

A crazy plan grew in his mind.

He stared at Lu Xiao's eyes, then pulled out his hand that was inserted into his chest.

In his palm, there was a heart that was beating violently.

That was Shadow's heart.

He handed the heart to Lu Xiao's mouth and said in a crazy tone:

"Eat it quickly."

At this time, his face was full of ferocity.

Seeing Shadow in this state, Lu Xiao instinctively took a step back.

"Friends can't eat friends."

He said this with a very serious expression.

Shadow had no time to explain at this time.

He stuffed the heart into Lu Xiao's hand, and then said in a bewitching tone:

"This heart is very effective. After eating it, you can experience the power of the gods."

"And, even if you eat it, I can grow it back quickly."

"You can eat it with confidence."

Shadow did not lie about this.

Bribing Lu Xiao with his own heart was the best way he could think of.

As for why he didn't bribe himself.

Because even if he lifted the restrictions and burst out his true power, he estimated that it would not have any effect.

It would be better to let Lu Xiao try.

Moreover, in this way, he did not break the bet with the gambler.

Hearing Yingzi say that it can still grow, Lu Xiao's mouth slowly opened.

He looked at Bai Suosu with a look of verification.

Bai Suosu nodded several times with a heavy face.

He did not speak, and did not know what to say.

At this time, all he could do was not to hold Yingzi back.

He sighed deeply in his heart and said:

"It seems that I really should start the god-making ceremony."
