A wisp of gray tulle floated out from Wang Ran's eyebrows. This wisp of tulle exuded a unique charm and protected Wang Ran's body in the chaotic airflow.

This is Wang Ran’s condensed divinity.

Wang Ran fell into silence looking at the slightly distant world.

"I take back what I just said."

he murmured.

These shoes weren't a shoe, at least not to him.

Even standing in the empty sea of ​​​​the world, he felt as if he was stepping on something under his feet. As long as he exerted more force, he would definitely be able to "jump".

But this is already the world sea.

If you step hard in the world, you will come to the world sea. So what if you step hard on the world sea?

Wang Ran suddenly felt an impulse in his heart.

If he steps hard into the World Sea, will he float far away in the World Sea, or will he go from the inside of the World Sea to the outside of the World Sea like from the inside of the world to the outside of the world?

Wang Ran was eager to test this idea.

[Start real-time simulation]

【You step hard】

Wang Ran held his breath.

【You jumped out of the world sea】

"Have you really left the sea of ​​​​the world?!"

Wang Ran was surprised.

He just did a simulation with the idea of ​​giving it a try. Unexpectedly, it really gave him a surprise. The great sage's silk steps actually helped him jump out of the sea of ​​​​the world!

What is outside the sea?

During the last doomsday crisis, Wang Ranpao read countless materials in the library of the Moda believers, but none of the materials mentioned things outside the World Sea.

The few words he said were vague, and it seemed that even Mo Da didn't know what was going on outside the world.

O great sage! My great sage!

It has to be you!

At this time, the text continues to scroll down.

【You have lost your ability to perceive】

[As reminded by the "Savior Simulator", you realize that you need to replace the original sensory organs with divinity]

Outside the sea, eyes and ears no longer work.

[You burned the only ray of divinity]

【You get a ray of light】

Wang Ran cheered up.

He currently only has a ray of divinity, which means that he can only see the scene outside the world.

[You are shocked by everything you see]

[You find that the world sea is just a small puddle on the verge of drying up. You notice that there are many similar puddles nearby. You see a "giant" drinking water not far away]

【Divinity burns out】

[You have lost your perception of the outside world]

【You forgot what you just saw】

["Giant" noticed you]

【You are annihilated in His gaze】

[End of simulation]

Wang Ran fell into silence.

After a while, he muttered to himself with a dry mouth: "The world sea is just a small puddle, and it is a small puddle on the verge of drying up."

He was mentally prepared. If there was a world outside the World Sea, the creatures living in that world would definitely be much stronger than the creatures unable to leave the World Sea.

But he didn't expect that the sea of ​​​​the world would be so unbearable!

And it's dangerous.

Not only is it on the verge of drying up, but there are giants drinking water next to it.

He suddenly felt a huge sense of urgency.

The earth is still in this world sea. He must not allow the world sea to dry up, let alone allow the giants outside the world sea to drink the world sea into his belly.

Wang Ran's eyes flashed fiercely.

【Start real-time simulation】

[You activated "Time and Space Displacement"]

[You activated "The Man with His Own BGM"]

[You have escaped from the protection of divinity]

[You dealt with it twice]

[Your life is in danger under the turbulent currents of the world ocean]

[You activated the "Human Broom Star"]

That giant is too dangerous.

Perhaps He would not drink up the sea of ​​​​the world where Wang Ran was, after all, the sea of ​​​​the world was about to dry up, but Wang Ran would not leave his destiny to others in vain.

He wanted to kill the giant.

At least get rid of Him.

[You designate the giant to be unlucky]

【You are facing the fear of your life】

[The giant will immediately suffer a bloody misfortune]

[The giant was seriously injured, and when misfortune struck, he could only howl in despair]

Seriously injured?

Wang Ran suddenly realized something.

"Giant" and "small puddle" are both to him, so for "giant", what is "small puddle"?

Maybe just a tiny drop of water?

The giant lay on the ground in embarrassment and licked a drop of water. His condition was obviously very bad.

[Driven by misfortune, the giant breathed out his last breath, fell down weakly, and entered an irreversible countdown to death]

[You push lightly]

[You dragged your seriously injured body back to the world just now]

【You are unconscious】

[End of simulation]

Wang Ran thought for a moment for two seconds.

Although he didn't know why the giant was seriously injured, he knew that the giant would definitely need to replenish a lot of energy if he wanted to recover from his injuries.

That's why the giant lay on the ground licking water.

But the giant is very big, and one or two puddles will definitely not satisfy him. If this giant is not stopped, it is likely that this giant will lick away the sea of ​​​​the world he is in.

He must take action.

Wang Ran made up his mind.

Time and space displacement!

A variety of indescribable strange feelings filled his heart, and in an instant, he felt that he had a lot of authority.

[The man with his own BGM] activates!

"I work hard to grow vegetables~"

"But you secretly came to destroy it~"

"Let me find out~"

“Happy Farm is full of pests and diseases~”

A funny melody sounded deep in Wang Ran's mind.

Ah this!

If there is no song in the sea of ​​the world, why should we put brainworms in it?

The corner of Wang Ran's mouth twitched, but he had no time to dwell on it, because the giant was seriously injured now, but it would not be certain after a few more licks of water.

He gritted his teeth and retracted his divinity between his brows.

A terrifying energy storm rushed towards him. He dealt with it twice in a daze before being sucked into it.

Grass! Grass! Grass!

The energy storm was like countless sharp knives, easily cutting off a layer of Wang Ran's flesh.

Wang Ran was in so much pain that he could not speak coherently.

Although he had resolved three doomsday crises, he had never experienced any decent battles in reality. His ability to endure pain was almost zero, and he simply could not bear the pain that was comparable to Ling Chi.

His body kept switching between bones and flesh.

The self-healing ability of [Salamander Physique] is at the same rate as the speed at which his body is damaged, but he can feel his physical energy being consumed rapidly.

If this continues, he will definitely die.

Wang Ran gritted his teeth.

[The Broom Star in the World], activate!

After doing this, he kicked lightly.

In a daze, he felt the light and shadow in front of his eyes shaking, and then he fell heavily to the ground and fell unconscious.

"Old man! Come on!"

"Someone fell on our haystack!"

Chi'an County is the fiefdom of Chi Anjun.

In the early years when Chi Anjun was still there, the officials and people of Chi'an County were close to each other, and there was a harmonious atmosphere.

Later, Chi Anjun was ordered to die by the emperor.

The atmosphere in Chi'an County is getting worse and worse. Today, more than ten years later, Chi'an County officials are corrupt and bandits are rampant nearby. It has become a corrupt place, and even officials with a little idealism are not willing to come here.

"Old man Chai, it's time to pay taxes for the next ten years."

On this day, the tax collector came to a small courtyard.

Other places collect taxes and fees for the current year, but Chi'an County collects taxes and fees for the next ten years, and to be precise, it is not the next ten years, but the taxes and fees from the next ten years to the next ten years.

Because the first ten years were taken away by the previous county magistrate.

Old man Chai walked out of the small courtyard, leaning on a cane.

"well"

"Boss, can you please defer the tax payment?"

"I have a patient at home."

"He has been in coma for several days. I have spent all the money to buy him soup and medicine. I really can't get it out for a while."

The officials' attitude was unusually arrogant.

"Don't be pretentious with me!"

"Who doesn't know that your Chai family was the servant of that traitor Chi Anjun back then? Other families can get the money, but you can't?"

Old Man Chai knelt down and said, "Two officers."

"Shut up! Get the money!"

The official gave Old Man Chai a hard shove.

Old Man Chai's thin body hit the wall, like a straw hitting a stack of bricks. He bounced lightly and then let out a cry of pain.

The official said disgustedly: "Go and get the money, or you will go to jail!"

Old man Chai turned around with gloomy eyes.

He walked toward the house holding on to the wall, and walked out after a while carrying a heavy money bag.

Silently he handed the money bag to the official.

The official opened the money bag and counted it carefully.

"The number is correct!"

"There are so many!"

"Your taxes have been paid!"

The official nodded with satisfaction.

Old man Chai turned around and wanted to leave.

"Stop!" the official stopped him, "Where are the two of us?"

Old man Chai was stunned.

The official said confidently: "We came here under the bright sun to collect your tax money. Don't you know how to give us a reward?"

Reward?

Old man Chai was very angry.

But he had no choice but to take out two small bunches of copper coins from his arms.

"This is to honor the two officials."

He swallowed his anger.

"Haha! That's pretty much it!"

The officials took the money and left without much delay, because they also had to collect taxes from other families. Many families had strong men, so collecting taxes was very troublesome.

Old man Chai closed the door, turned around and walked back to the room.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As soon as he sat down, the door was knocked again.

Old man Chai walked out and opened the door with an uneasy look on his face. As he walked, he wondered who was knocking on his door this time.

"Who?"

he asked through the door.

"Heifeng Mansion, accept this year's offerings!"

Old Man Chai's face fell.

He opened the door and saw two people covered in black veils.

He said cautiously: "Master of the Black Wind Mansion, can you please slow down the offerings this year? The government has just collected ten years of tax money, and the tax collector has just left. The family really has no money."

The Black Wind Mansion is the largest bandit gang in the area.

"Damn, we're late!"

"Are these officials just thinking about lard? Aren't they afraid of people's rebellion after collecting taxes for ten years?"

The robber's tone was full of anger.

Old man Chai didn't dare to say a word.

"In that case, I'll give you a sixty-day reprieve."

The older robber said: "We will come back in sixty days to collect this year's offerings. If we can't hand them over by then, don't blame our Black Wind Mansion for being ruthless!"

Old Man Chai nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

The older robber asked again: "Where did the tax collector go?"

Old Man Chai pointed the direction for them.

"Let's go and kill the tax collectors!"

"good!"

The two robbers left murderously.

Old man Chai closed the door and sighed.

These days, officials are more ruthless than robbers.

The robber only collects a year's worth of offerings at a time. If he cannot collect the amount, he is given sixty days to raise the money. This is actually more merciful than the official.

Old Man Chai turned around slowly.

But this time, before he even entered the house, the door was knocked again.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Old Man Chai asked fearfully: "Who is it?"

"Open the door! Collect taxes!"

"Ten years of tax!"

Old man Chai was confused.

Why is there another group of tax collectors? Didn't he just pay it?

"Master! I just paid the tax!"

he shouted through the door.

"It might be that someone else went to the wrong place and ended up on our territory."

"We don't care about that."

"You have to give us your taxes!"

"Or go to jail!"

"Choose for yourself!"

Pay taxes for another ten years?

Old Man Chai felt that his eyes were black and his thin body was crumbling.
