Chapter 1382: Guiding the Way

After Xu Fan’s consciousness attached to avatar number two, he first checked his surroundings to ensure it was safe before entering the Awareness Space of avatar number two.

“So, why did you pull me here?” Xu Fan asked the consciousness of avatar number two.

Although avatar number two had suffered significant rule damage, it wasn’t life-threatening.

“I had no choice; I’m stuck in a deadlock and called you over to see if you could help.”

“Also, I need you to help my poor Grand Leader boss,” the consciousness of avatar number two said weakly.

“The company was about to go public, but the deputy CEO betrayed us.”

“We finally found a new opportunity to start over, but now we’re being targeted again.”

“Now, with the Chaotic Great Saint-level giant beast marking me, I can hold on for now, but if this continues, I’ll be surrounded and killed by those chaotic giant beasts.”

“I need you to help my poor little boss for a while; otherwise, all my efforts will be wasted,” avatar number two said.

“Starting a business is tough; I should have given you more essence to balance formations and fighting strength back then. We wouldn’t be in such a mess now.”

“Luckily, I don’t have much going on lately, so helping your little boss isn’t a big deal.”

“In the Awareness Space, watch how I help your little boss rise.”

Xu Fan took over avatar number two’s body.

Immediately, he felt a wave of rule erosion damage as his consciousness invaded the spirit.

“Damn it, that Chaotic Great Saint-level giant beast just glared at you.”

In avatar number two’s small team, only the deity avatar number two had been injured.

Brother Two slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the Grand Leader’s concerned face.

“Brother Two, we’ve wandered into the territory of another group of chaotic giant beasts; the ones chasing us have backed off.”

“It won’t be long before the chaotic giant beasts in this area find us.”

The Grand Leader handed Brother Two several recovery items.

Xu Fan picked out a piece of chaotic grass and ate it, feeling a bit more energized than before.

“Grand Leader, I’ve been keeping something from you; I’m a dual-being god or demon.”

“I’m skilled in artifact crafting, while the other part excels in formations.”

“In this situation, I can’t be of much help; I’ll have to let the one skilled in formations take over,” Brother Two said weakly.

“Brother Two, I know you’re a dual-being god or demon, but if you let the other part take control, can you come back?”

“I’d rather suffer with you than let you be suppressed in your body all the time,” the Grand Leader said with deep concern, as if he’d entrust his life to his brother.

“Don’t worry, Grand Leader; that part of me is obsessed with formations. If it weren’t for this life-threatening situation, it wouldn’t come out,” Brother Two said as his gaze turned unfamiliar.

Seeing that unfamiliar gaze, the Grand Leader realized his brother’s other personality had emerged.

“Let me see your entire personal god or demon treasure trove and shield your imprints first,” Brother Two said coldly.

Hearing Brother Two’s words, the startup team all looked at the Grand Leader.

“Do as Brother Two says,” the Grand Leader said, maintaining his unwavering trust in Brother Two.

Brother Two observed the items the Grand Leader had prepared for his healing. With a wave of his hand, he conjured a vital formation in the Chaotic Mist Area and inscribed 46 defensive formations on himself to block the rule damage from the Chaotic Great Saint-level giant beast.

As the massive vital formation took shape, Xu Fan placed all the heavenly spirit roots and divine items that could aid in healing inside it. Once everything was in place, the formation began to operate, and a vast river of vitality surged out, flowing into Brother Two’s body like a great river returning to the sea. Using this immense vitality, Brother Two expelled the rule damage from his body, restoring himself to his former state in an instant.

To avoid waste, he evenly distributed the remaining vitality to the startup team. "What’s your next move?" Brother Two asked the Grand Leader lightly. "I’m still figuring that out," the Great God or Demon replied, his tone tinged with disappointment.

"Head to the Great Star God or Demon Empire; they’ll allow your presence there," Brother Two said, summoning the relevant information before the Grand Leader. "The Great Star God or Demon Empire?" the Grand Leader asked, sounding confused. "It’s normal you don’t know about it. You’ve never left the God Demon Empire before," Brother Two explained. "There are nine Great God or Demon Empires in the Chaotic Mist Area, and the Great Star God or Demon Empire is one of them. Its leader is indifferent to worldly affairs, and the empire itself is loosely structured—perfect for you."

Xu Fan projected a light curtain map showing the layout of the Chaotic Mist Area. "This is practically crossing the entire Chaotic Mist Area. Can we make it?" the Grand Leader asked. "Take your time to think it over. First, I’ll shield the marks on your bodies," Brother Two said, retrieving materials from the Great God or Demon treasure troves and inscribing shielding formations on each god or demon.

"Having a strong backer is crucial. To thrive alone in the Chaotic Mist Area, a god or demon needs at least the strength of a Chaotic Great Saint," Brother Two remarked. Several formations gathered around the Grand Leader, operating in harmony to shield his marks.

"Where did you get this information about the Great Star God or Demon Empire?" the Grand Leader asked. "I used to handle logistics. All the miscellaneous items you collected were stored with me, and this information came from one of the jade books," Brother Two replied, handing over the jade book.

"The journey isn’t too far. You can use the Ninth transfer exchange world, controlled by the top powerful families at the edges of the chaotic center, as a springboard. Draw a semicircle through the Chaotic Mist Area, and you’ll reach the Great Star God or Demon Empire. The only downside is that you might exhaust your savings from all these years," Brother Two explained, demonstrating the route on the light curtain map.

"Spending our savings doesn’t matter. As long as my brothers can survive in the Chaotic Mist Area, that’s what counts," the Grand Leader said, his eyes gleaming with confidence. To him, material possessions were fleeting; as long as he could gather his brothers, they would fight for what they needed.

"Then let’s go. With no chaotic giant beasts chasing us, we can take our time," Brother Two said, his expression returning to its usual calm.

In the Awareness Space of avatar number two, Number Two looked at Xu Fan with mild disbelief. "You’re making this way too easy. Just point the way, and that’s it?" "What else can I do? Should I escort them all the way to the Great Star God or Demon Empire?" Xu Fan replied.
