Almost all of the rods were taken away by the black fungal threads, except for the one tightly held by the Human Emperor, securing him firmly to the surface of the blue mycelial ball.

And when almost all the black fungal threads had escaped, the blue mycelial ball suddenly contracted, returning to its original size.

The Human Emperor was also sucked in by that enormous suction.

"Am I dead? Did we perish together?" Zhang Ze asked curiously.

"Nope, you abducted me." Little Fuji stepped forward, prying open the seam, motioning for Zhang Ze to follow her inside to continue watching.

Zhang Ze, "?"

...

As soon as Zhang Ze entered, he saw the Human Emperor behaving like a pervert abducting a loli.

Contrary to its appearance, the inside of the mycelial ball was a pristine pale blue world, and at its very center sat a similarly blue, but proportionally smaller, tiny person.

The tiny person was also made of mycelium, its face indistinct, only roughly humanoid.

It sat on the ground, playing with itself in confusion.

When the Human Emperor was sucked in with a plop, the tiny person’s attention was immediately drawn, it looked up at him, and with its gaze, the whole space began to ripple, blue fungal threads extended from all around, reaching towards the Human Emperor. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Yet these fungal threads did not attack, instead, they lightly touched the Human Emperor’s body, seemingly reading his memory.

Soon, those fungal threads retracted, and the faceless tiny person began to change appearance.

She turned into a little girl, and the first words out of her mouth were slanderous.

"Oh, so you’re a loli-con, and you also like..."

Unfortunately, before the little girl could finish her sentence, the severely injured Human Emperor scrambled up, rushing over to cover the little girl’s mouth with unprecedented speed.

"Mmm mmm, murder, murder!" A cheerful cry for help came from another mouth that opened atop the little girl’s head.

However, the racket did not last long.

Due to the Human Emperor’s skillful words and methods, after a series of coaxing and offering candies, he managed to quiet the little girl down.

The severely injured Human Emperor sat cross-legged on the ground, watching the little girl eating Pill Medicine, and, like a creepy uncle, started asking all sorts of questions.

"Kiddo, do you know where this is?"

"No idea..."

"Then do you know who you are?"

"Dunno, uh, give me candy!"

"..."

After a round of sweet-talk between the two, the Human Emperor roughly understood the situation.

That is, after he poked it, this blue ball split apart.

It split into three parts: the little girl in front of him, the black mycelial strands that fled, and the colorless light orb floating behind the little girl.

In exchange for two golden light Pills, the Human Emperor extracted information about the light orb from the little girl.

According to the little girl, that light orb is the witness to the birth of this confined world, and is the root of her creation and that of her darker counterpart.

Holding the golden light Pills, the little girl racked her brains and finally found a word from the memories she initially read from the Human Emperor’s mind.

"F***... ptooey ptooey ptooey, that’s not the word, it’s the law, this thing is what you call the law, the most fundamental truths of the world are here."

The Human Emperor, hearing this, propped himself up and limped over to the colorless light orb, lightly touched it.

Just as the little girl said, the most fundamental truths of the human world reside within, the rhythm of the wind, the sound of water, the flash of life at the moment of birth...

In an instant, it was as if he knew everything, many problems that had troubled him for a long time were effortlessly solved.

But after withdrawing his hand, that sense of fulfillment and clarity quickly vanished, as if it had never existed.

Looking at this light orb, the Human Emperor suddenly had a bold idea.

He turned to look at the little girl, revealing an innocent smile.

"Do you want to go outside and have a look at the world with me?"

The little girl shook her head vigorously, like a rattle, "No way! You’re a loli-con!"

The Human Emperor, "There are lots of delicious things in the outside world, and we’re just taking a look, we’ll come back."

The little girl, hearing this, immediately nodded, "Then when do we leave, now!"

At this point, the mischievous Cat Lady Emperor watching let out a small beep.

"Giao, you really are a loli-con."
