Chapter 276 | The One Who Devours All

Deep within the Dragon Palace.

Yue Shi coiled in the seawater, his expression revealing a rare trace of confusion.

He realized that his previous behavioral patterns were somewhat off.

His memories seemed to contain many inconsistencies.

Once he noticed the anomalies, numerous irrational details that he had unconsciously ignored before suddenly came flooding back.

Just now, the moment he opened his eyes, he found he had transmigrated into a dragon.

He hadn't inherited the dragon's memories; he only remembered being killed by a mud truck.

Then his memories quickly returned, and he realized he had transmigrated long ago.

Years ago, when he opened his eyes and found he had transmigrated into Xin Mufeng, he seemed to have been in this exact same state.

He hadn't inherited the original body's memories then either, only remembering being killed by a mud truck.

What was wrong?

Whether it was suddenly becoming another person or suddenly becoming a non-human creature, he had accepted it all quite well.

There wasn't a hint of shock, panic, or helplessness.

Even though he had transmigrated into a mythical creature like a dragon, he still accepted it all instantly and transitioned seamlessly into his new life.

Following that, the first thought he produced was to murder everyone close to the original owner.

Would a normal human act like that?

He didn't just think it; he actually intended to carry it out.

When he first transmigrated years ago, he didn't have any supernatural powers.

Yet he simply didn't care about the consequences and struck out at everyone around him.

He loathed every single person and couldn't control the urge to kill them all.

Such intense and extreme malice, such an unconscious desire to harm others—it was more like a supernatural creature.

Supernatural creatures would instinctively harm humans.

“So, am I actually a supernatural creature rather than a human?”

At this thought, Yue Shi lowered his head and looked at his claws.

Various kinds of supernatural creatures existed in this world, and some looked exactly like humans.

But in essence, none of them were human.

However, the supernatural detector had never flashed a red light at Yue Shi.

Such exceptions did exist; Boss Pi was one.

Yue Shi's memories began to churn.

He was recalling his life experiences before transmigrating.

Since arriving in this world, he had never once felt a longing for home.

The thought had barely even crossed his mind.

He also rarely reminisced about the past.

Thinking carefully about it now, a major problem immediately surfaced!

He didn't have any relatives!

It was as if he had popped out of a crack in a rock.

He had no friends, either.

And he hadn't grown up in an orphanage.

Then how had he grown up to be this old?

In all his childhood memories, there was never a guardian figure.

There was only him, using his status as a minor to constantly harm people.

As an adult, he used his handsome face and intellect to constantly harm people.

Wherever he went, he caused harm.

He liked to dive into crowds of evil people and then kill them all.

He also liked to dive into crowds of good people, turn them evil, and then kill them all.

Was this reasonable?

Yue Shi tried hard to dig through his pre-transmigration memories for some beautiful or happy scenes.

Subsequently, some warm, everyday memory fragments surfaced.

But he wasn't moved in the slightest; it was like reading a written report—cold and numb.

“It's all fake.”

Yue Shi realized this with absolute clarity.

The warm, everyday memories appearing in his mind seemed to be clips from a movie he had watched in this world.

A psychopathic killer whose life was very warm and ordinary when he wasn't having an episode.

Because Yue Shi wanted warm, everyday memories, his body automatically integrated the warmest scenes in his cognition and made them his own.

When he truly realized that his pre-transmigration memories were false, the faces of everyone in those memories immediately became blurred.

“Who exactly am I?”

To figure out this question, Yue Shi immediately thought of that mysterious space and the Full Moon Stone Tablet.

This cheat that had always accompanied him provided him with much of his power.

It allowed him to run wild in this chaotic world.

That thing was a part of him, yet it was so mysterious that he knew very little about it.

Yue Shi closed his eyes and connected with the mysterious space.

Everything fell silent.

All sound vanished.

He could clearly feel that he had left the deep sea.

This time, the sensation was different from every time before.

First, there was darkness.

In the next second, his vision brightened.

He realized he was in an overhead perspective.

Every time he entered this place before, he was in the form of a humanoid consciousness looking up at the Full Moon Stone Tablet.

This time, Yue Shi had no physical form; he was invisible and intangible, omnipresent.

A thought flashed through him.

“I am the Full Moon Stone Tablet.”

The moment this thought appeared, everything before his eyes began to distort, his consciousness slowly blurred, and his thoughts reorganized.

His vision sank until the full moon at the top of the stone tablet was level with him, standing before him.

Yue Shi gazed at the stone tablet.

It was a strange feeling, like looking at himself.

It wasn't the feeling of looking in a mirror, but rather that both sides were “me.”

Lines of text appeared on the stone tablet.

Recording Subject: 「Me」

Collection Number: 「I am the master; no serial number required」

◐: 「I am who I am」

◐: I am collecting/seizing valuable collectibles. These include authorities, laws, natural phenomena, interesting individuals or races, knowledge, and secrets.

◐: Collectibles will gradually merge with me, becoming a part of me and used to decorate myself.

◐: Current personality, 「Extreme Evil」, activated.

◐: Hm? How rare. Is the authority of the dark side actually in charge?

◐: What's the deal with this text?

◐: Wait, the words above are my own thoughts!

◐: My subconscious is manifesting in a way that can be understood and observed.

◐: I am conversing with my own personality in a logical manner.

◐: I am revealing my essence and truth—the part that my current personality usually cannot perceive.

◐: I am the Moon; my existence is logical. No matter who looks at me, they will believe the Moon has always existed in the night sky. History will contain records of me, and civilizations will show traces of my involvement.
