The temple was dark, and all the ques appeared to be staring at Han Fei. Han Fei moved the table and noticed a tattered book of lineage under the table. Most of the content was lost. Only a few words could be recognized. “Cocoon of Longevity, Well of Immortality, Ageless Meat, and ghosts that can feed on age.”


    The book recorded some very scary things. The ancestors of the Fu Family didn’t seem to die. They had turned into some kind of half-human, half-ghost existence through mysterious methods.


    “The ck box… is bleeding?!”


    Han Fei was looking through the book when he felt a chill run up his spine. He turned around and realized the temple doors had closed. The ques shivered. The door guardians on the door slowly walked out. Normal temple doors were defended by door guardians. However, the guardians of this temple had rotten faces and bony bodies.


    “How can humanity’s base rely on ghosts to guard the doors? This ce haspletely turned to ghosts. There’s no need to save these people.” ck mist leaked out. The headmaster grabbed the two door guardians and dragged them into the abyss. Han Fei didn’t stop there. He turned to the table. “And you. None of you are getting away tonight.” Han Fei swallowed everything inside the table into the abyss. Han Fei toyed with the ck box and noticed something interesting. This ck box was made, mimicking the ck box in his mind. The material used was very unique. Even Pure Hatred couldn’t harm it. “I can’t open the real ck box, but I think I can open you.”


    The starlight shone on the ck box. Han Fei observed it carefully. The faith of many vigers surrounded the fake ck box. It represented both salvation and destruction. When the healing persona tried to invade it, the box would deter Han Fei with the vigers’ faith. When the greed persona tried to consume it, the evil energy inside the box would awaken. “This is quite an interesting design. But the creator probably didn’t think I would be able to open the box from both sides?”


    When the starlight covered the box fully, a gap opened in the greed abyss. The Executioner raised the giant axe. The ck box resisted with faith, but the next second, it had to defend against the Executioner’s axe.


    There was the sound of a bubble popping. The ck box was forced open. A person’s pure ck memory was caught inside. It was like water flowing through fate. It changed everything in the vige. Han Fei was curious about what was inside the box. He saw the possible content of the real box through this fake one. It was a person’s memory. It was a lifeless and despairing ck color. His past was filled with negative emotions. The smell of rot drifted out. Every second was clearly felt. Time slowed down. His world appeared to have frozen.


    The ques Han Fei had swallowed seemed to have gone insane. They fought to consume the ck blood that came out of the box. They drank the person’s despair so they could have a better life.


    “Notification for yer 0000! You’ve discovered a one-time use Grade C Altar Unique Item—Part of my Sadness.


    “Part of my Sadness: Part of my sadness has been ced into the box. No one can see it, and no one is allowed to see it. The people outside kept staring other people’s sadness into the box until the box was full, and a dark, cryptic world would appear.”


    Han Fei was startled by this sudden system notification. He felt the dark, flowing memory.


    The ques cried so hard that the whole temple was shaking.


    “The longevity of the vigers is built on the death of others?”


    Their endless greed and selfishness made them copy the ck box. They served this box like God. Many eyes looked at it greedily, waiting to drink its blood. The book contained the method for creating the Cocoon of Longevity and the reason the Well of Immortality was created. However, sacrifice was needed in all these processes.


    The ck box shattered. Han Fei tried to capture the ck memory, but he couldn’t do it with his current ability. He could only watch as the memories disappeared into the air. They morphed into ck dust and fell into the well outside.


    “The real ck box contains more than one person’s sadness?”


    Han Fei tried to open the box from both sides more than once, but the box was like an unsolvable puzzle. Inside the box was another box.


    The sudden knocking interrupted Han Fei’s thoughts. He opened the door. The vigers from the vige stood in the forest, holding whitenterns and wearing red clothes. They surrounded the temple. Their faces were frighteningly pale.


    “All the living humans here have been taken over by ghosts.” Han Fei scanned the elders. Their bodies had mutated a lot since they drank the well water for a long period of time. Some of them had human faces growing out of their heads. “They’ve killed others to gain longevity. That’s why their victims’ features are growing out of their bodies. Is this the secret to longevity?”


    The family who weed Han Fei was among the crowd. The elder’s neck was covered with a band-aid. The band-aid fell to remove a young man’s face on the back of his neck. Han Fei recognized the young man as a messenger the center sent to the vige! “Are you still humans?” The whole vige was part of the dark design. They lost their humanity to live longer. The ground shook. The vige started to change. The graves were dug open, and hidden family members came out of the ground. There were so many of them. Most of them were incredibly old. Their eyes had no human light. They only showed fear of death and intense hunger.


    “I wanted to give you a chance, but it looks like there’s no chance for any of you.” Han Fei didn’t like to kill people if there was a chance to save them. However, there was no reason for him to hold back anymore. From the vigers, it was clear that they had chosen to give up being humans. In that case, Han Fei had to clean them up. Mist rolled out of his body. Fishes swam in the dark. The hostile vigers were reaped. Their souls were absorbed into the abyss. When the vige returned to normal, all the vigers disappeared. They drank the water from the Well of Immortality. Their desire for immortality destroyed their humanity.


    “This might cause some misunderstanding with the center. They might want toe to investigate, but the vige is gone.” The ghost territory hadn’t been destroyed, so the Pure Hatred was still there. “Let me guess where it would be hiding.”


    The other center members preferred to work during the day. Ghosts were weaker in the day. However, Han Fei was different. The ghosts in the greed abyss were his main fighting power.


    Han Fei walked towards the well. He cut it with Rest in Peace. Blood leaked out of the bricks. This well consumed many living humans. Han Fei didn’t hold back. He wanted to level the well!


    The knife made many wounds. The thing deep inside the well couldn’t stand it anymore. Piercing screams came from under the well!


    The ground around the temple started to crack. The trees around it grew wildly. Blood red vessels grew under the tree barks!


    Blood gushed out of the well until the ground in the middle of the temple was hollowed out. Theplicated underground river system was exposed. He saw that the rivulets underground had twisted to form a giant, ugly monster!


    “Notification for yer 0000! You’ve discovered Pure Hatred still gathering ck me—Longevity!”


    The blood vessels connected arge beating heart. The crying came from the heart. “This Pure Hatred is quite cute. My abysscks decoration. This will do just fine.”


    The underground rivers connected the Vige of Longevity and Gu Yang Tian Nian Old Folk’s Home. The ck me danced around Han Fei. The lost girl switched ces with the fish in the mist and appeared right beside the heart. However, she still had trouble getting close to her heart. The time flow around the heart was different from normal. Everyone’s movements would be slowed once they got close to the heart.


    “The Pure Hatred at the Old Folk’s Home should have power rted to time. This is quite scary.” There could be more than one Pure Hatred at a Strange Building. Longevity should be the weakest. Its main power wasn’t to fight but to connect the different areas. This meant that it was not good for Han Fei to drag this out lest the Pure Hatred from the Old Folk’s Home rushed over.


    Tong Xin opened its ghost territory. It ovepped over Longevity’s ghost territory. With the cooperation of two Pure Hatreds, they managed to take down therge beating heart.


    “This Pure Hatred can control time. Perhaps it can construct this altar world is made possible by its power.”


    The greed mist leaked out. Han Fei used his full focus to pull the heart into the abyss. The heart wouldn’t move. Han Fei pulled out Rest in Peace. Since the heart wouldn’t enter the abyss in whole, then he’d eat it in pieces!


    Han Fei used the fastest speed to cut off all the vessels connecting the heart. He resisted the piercing cries, and finally, he swallowed the heart into the abyss.


    “Notification for yer 0000! You’ve sessfully trapped the Pure Hatred with unlit ck me—Longevity.


    “Longevity (Pure Hatred): There are four special Pure Hatreds in this city. They are Longevity, Immortality, Undead, and Natural Lifespan!”
