Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!

As for why Qiu Tu knew such detailed yet seemingly useless information, of course, it was thanks to Larilo.

As the "Life Reproduction" pathway Evil God, Larilo's favorite thing was studying all kinds of new and novel XPs and poses.

So after learning the characteristics of "Huang Mei," what she was most interested in were the XP aspects of the "Huang Mei".....

And according to Larilo's information,

Huang Mei's strength generally ranged between Second and Third Order. The Cataclysm Path was "Mystery."

These Cataclysmic Creatures were said to originate from the "Boundless Heart Sea Core Area" and gradually migrated to the Peripheral area.

They usually live off the spiritual power, vitality, and lifespan of living beings.

But... the spiritual power, vitality, and lifespan of ordinary beings could only allow them to survive normally.

Only the spiritual power, vitality, and lifespan of Domain Masters could make their strength even more powerful.

Regarding this phenomenon, the Evil Gods also had two conjectures.

The first conjecture is that the power source of these "Huang Mei" might come from Leyline Nodes or the Boundless Heart Sea Region.

Therefore, they must feed on Domain Masters who have authority over Leyline Nodes and power of their Regions to indirectly enhance their own strength.

The second conjecture is that the Cataclysmic Power energy level inside the "Boundless Heart Sea Core Area" is higher than that of the "Periphery of the Boundless Heart Sea," and the power is more precise.

Thus, the "Huang Mei" born in the "Boundless Heart Sea Core Area" inherently have more precise Cataclysmic Power, and a higher energy level.

And when they come to the "Periphery Region of the Boundless Heart Sea," the Cataclysmic Power of the creatures in the Peripheral area is not pure enough, and they cannot enhance their strength by absorbing it.

But only Domain Masters of Fourth Order or above have the same energy level in their bodies as the "Boundless Heart Sea Core Area." So they can help them increase their strength.

Of course, no matter which possibility... the outcome is always the same: whenever a new Fourth Order Domain Master is born, the Huang Mei would quietly go over and feed on his spiritual power, vitality, and lifespan.

Also, because of this special situation, the Huang Mei usually live within the mists between the "Boundless Heart Sea" Region and other Regions.

As soon as they sense the scent of a newly born Domain Master, they will swarm over to feed on the deliciousness.

And because they have the ability to freely travel between two worlds.

Plus they can become ethereal, making it very difficult for Domain Masters without accumulation to detect them.

Ultimately, they are consumed bit by bit.

As for... what Qiu Tu saw, the yellow mist and those branch-like bifurcations.

According to Larilo's conjecture.

That's very likely a mischievous Huang Mei, after feeding on Qiu Tu, waving her hands in front of Qiu Tu's eyes.

To see if Qiu Tu could spot them.

After all... as the strength of Domain Masters grows stronger or their perception sharpens, the chances of Huang Mei being discovered will also significantly increase.

So, determining the perception abilities of Domain Masters promptly is vital for the survival of Huang Mei.

When Qiu Tu heard Larilo's entire description, he was at a loss for words for a moment.

He didn't know whether it was because Larilo's description was a bit frivolous or because his own thoughts were easily led astray.

His mind would always conjure up images... of him sitting unknowingly at his office desk, while several semi-transparent beautiful women fed quietly on his essence, some under his desk, some wrapping around his body, some perched on his head...

The imagery was both sensual and eerie.

However, regardless, understanding the group of Yellow Mist Phantoms, Qiu Tu felt much more at ease.

The greatest fear for humans comes from the unknown.

And once the truth of the matter was understood, it would be like "Dispelling Charm."

'It's just a few peculiar Cataclysmic Creatures, after all.'

'They should be quite easy to deal with.'

According to Larilo's explanation, the danger of "Huang Mei" primarily comes from the "unknown."

After all... having just become a Domain Master, then shortly afterward, a mysterious yellow mist appears before one's eyes, and suddenly a portion of one's spiritual power and vitality vanishes out of thin air.

That would be a cause for concern for anyone.

Moreover, because ordinary Domain Masters do not have a guide or anyone to tell them the truth,

They would be fraught with anxiety, speculating all sorts of reasons,

Such as suspecting side effects from being "Domain Master"?

Or speculating on losing control over the Cataclysm Path?

Without anyone to point it out, it would be hard for them to suspect a peculiar kind of Cataclysmic Creature.

So... as time drags on, more and more "Huang Mei" arrive, consuming more and more spiritual power and vitality.

Eventually, reaching a critical point where everything collapses, the newly born Domain Master gets consumed and dies.

Someone like Qiu Tu, who just happened to catch the attention of a well-informed Evil God and could extract information, is very rare.

Without Larilo, even if Qiu Tu eventually resolved this crisis, it might have taken a very long time.

After all... "Crisis Intuition" only gives a prompt when there's a potential death threat.

And with "Huang Mei's" rate of absorption, they won't pose a threat to Qiu Tu's life in the short term, and they're also rather easy to eliminate.

So... it would only be after a month or two of Qiu Tu being drained that the situation becomes uncontrollable, and "Crisis Intuition" might then provide a prompt.

But by that time, Qiu Tu, having been drained for two months, would not only lose two months of time to enhance his strength but might also have his foundation damaged and lifespan affected.
