Then, of course Jiang Ye also wanted to witness this grand experiment.

In fact, he was eagerly hoping such an experiment would succeed.

Thus, the plan to throw the [Dice of Fate] at this guy was temporarily shelved.

As for that strong player who had a [mimic mask] thrown at him, he was initially stunned.

But he quickly grasped Jiang Wenxing’s intention.

However, such a thing… how could these strong players possibly be willing to agree!

After all, if one becomes this lab rat…

It’s a direct ticket to death!

Just like Jiang Ye’s clone that was drained of blood earlier…

It ultimately turned into a Desiccated Corpse, transforming into a 「Formless Leaf」…

Meaning his flesh and blood were used to nurture a new 「Formless Leaf」!

Now, Jiang Wenxing’s meaning was clear: he wanted them to sacrifice their flesh and blood while wearing Jiang Ye’s face.

To exchange for the 「Formless Tree」 growing more 「Formless Leaves」!

And once such an experiment could succeed…

Then every single person present, without exception, would probably be sacrificed!

The faces of these strong players turned ugly.

From the bottom of their hearts, they did not want this experiment to succeed.

The lab rat holding the [mimic mask], however, was almost certainly in a doomed situation.

Zhou Yuling was also among the crowd, sensing the shift in the situation.

Her mood was quite low.

However, as her gaze swept over those strong players, she couldn’t help but find it ridiculous.

Not long ago, when Jiang Wenxing stated he wanted to sacrifice all of Jiang Ye’s clones.

They all stood there talking without feeling any strain, acting as if it didn’t affect them.

Two-thirds of them expressed support, even giving ample reasons, making it sound like it was for Jiang Ye’s own good.

But now, the tables had turned, and the ones needing sacrifice had become them…

Of course, while finding it ridiculous, Zhou Yuling’s heart inevitably felt a sense of sorrow and empathy, like mourning for a hare when the fox dies.

At this moment, she inexplicably felt…

The existence of this Jiang Wenxing was, to them, simply like a malevolent Sword Immortal plaguing the world!

Here, he seemed omnipotent, with no one able to punish him.

But he truly was not a good person!

Logically speaking…

Shouldn’t Reincarnators appear in groups?

Why was it that in this [Court of Disorder], only Jiang Wenxing held absolute power…

Had the other Reincarnators hidden away? Or had they all gathered in the [Abyss Restricted Zone]?

Or perhaps…

Zhou Yuling’s gaze turned again towards that 「Formless Tree」.

She always felt that this tree was extremely eerie.

Most crucially, her little white snake was Mist Qi!

How could any existence be capable of devouring Mist Qi?

Was the tree itself inherently eerie…

Or…

Could it be that all of them had fallen into some massive trap together?

Even Jiang Wenxing was in the game without realizing it?

The sense of unease Zhou Yuling had anticipated earlier grew even stronger at this moment.

As for that “lab rat” who delayed following Jiang Wenxing’s orders, he was indeed forcibly dealt with.

The moment the [mimic mask] was forcibly put on him, the lab rat let out a sharp scream!

Simultaneously, layers of protective barriers appeared around him.

Furthermore, he very quickly crushed a teleportation item, hoping to escape this place.

However, all struggles were useless!

After being trapped in the black net, all teleportation methods became ineffective!

That was to be expected.

Even the Light and Shadow Escape couldn’t break free…

Which sufficiently demonstrated the extraordinary nature of that black net!

However, just as the thorns on the black net spread and were about to shatter the layers of barriers around the lab rat…

Suddenly, a tense voice rang out: “Wait.”

If it were someone else’s voice, Jiang Wenxing might have ignored it directly.

But this voice came from Zhou Yuling.

A flicker of thought passed through Jiang Wenxing’s eyes, and he actually stopped the action of drawing a blood mark on the lab rat.

He raised his chin slightly, his eyes gloomy: “You’re not thinking of meddling, are you?”

“Of course not.” Zhou Yuling forced herself to step forward, then her gaze fell on another dark figure.

That dark figure bore some resemblance to Jiang Wenxing’s build.

However, the figure was pitch black, with blurred and rough facial features…

That’s right, it was a clay figure Jiang Wenxing had molded by hand!

Zhou Yuling looked at the clay figure and said:

“Even if you successfully nurture a new 「Formless Leaf」 by disguising a strong player to look like Jiang Ye, it’s clearly useless, right?”

“After all, according to the previous announcement rules, the condition for opening a court session requires 99,999 「Formless Leaves」.”

“And the strong players present, plus players hidden elsewhere, excluding Jiang Ye’s clones, don’t even come close to 99,999 people combined.”

“So, even if you succeed in the experiment using real players as lab rats, it still won’t be enough.”

“To produce 99,999 「Formless Leaves」 again…”

“Either you find Jiang Ye’s 99,999 clones;
“

“Or you mold 99,999 clay figures by hand, and these clay figures can produce 「Formless Leaves」.”

Zhou Yuling’s argument was obviously very reasonable.

The other strong players, upon hearing it, also expressed agreement.

The previous issue was a lack of people for the slots.

Jiang Wenxing said he could solve it by molding people by hand.

The current issue was a lack of leaves.

So it was best to let the people Jiang Wenxing molded produce the leaves.

Of course, finding Jiang Ye’s clones was another method.

But the problem now was that Jiang Wenxing couldn’t find Jiang Ye’s ninety thousand clones!

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so furious and exasperated.

The “lab rat” trapped in the black net, who thought his life was over, now looked at Zhou Yuling as if she were a living Bodhisattva!

However…

They saw Jiang Wenxing expressionlessly make a casual grasping motion with his five fingers.

The thorns that had stopped spreading suddenly elongated again!

In the next instant, they directly cut the lab rat’s skin.

Blood instantly seeped out!

Points of light abruptly formed!

This…

This meant—

Merely disguising the face as Jiang Ye’s could not deceive the Formless Tree!

When this fake Jiang Ye bled, it still resulted in a normal Erasure!

At this moment, Jiang Wenxing’s face suddenly darkened.

However, his grasping fingers slowly relaxed.

With a casual wave of his hand, the black net covered the clay figure again.

Zhou Yuling, mustering courage from who knows where, actually reminded in a small voice:

“Um… the mimic mask hasn’t been put on yet…”

Jiang Wenxing lifted his eyelids coolly, his tone very impatient: “This thing can’t wear a mask to change its appearance!”

“……” Zhou Yuling fell silent.

Simultaneously, she thought how could Jiang Wenxing’s experiment possibly succeed.

The reason Jiang Ye’s blood could be absorbed by the 「Formless Tree」 was likely because his blood itself was special.

Wearing a mimic mask, or this molded clay figure, couldn’t possibly replicate his blood conditions!

Therefore, Jiang Wenxing’s envisioned experiment was doomed to fail!

As Zhou Yuling thought this, she suddenly had a startling realization—

If that’s the case, then why could Wu Ying do it?

So, under the effect of [Phantom Parasite], even the blood conditions changed?

Then…

The Raven Feather she possessed, which contained the [Phantom Parasite] Glyph Pattern Ability, might be able to play a role!

The Glyph Pattern Ability stored on the Raven Feather was equivalent to becoming a type of tool.

It could be used by multiple people.

So, every single strong player present could use [Phantom Parasite] to obtain a parasitic identity of Jiang Ye…

At that time, wouldn’t they all be able to, like Wu Ying…

Under the effect of [Phantom Parasite], replicate Jiang Ye’s blood, become nourishment for the 「Formless Tree」, and grow into new 「Formless Leaves」?!

This…

This thought shocked Zhou Yuling deeply.

Of course, she only dared to be shocked in her heart, not revealing a trace on her face.

After all, Jiang Wenxing’s strength here was far too overwhelming.

Zhou Yuling clearly understood she had no qualification to negotiate with him.

Revealing this information would bring her no benefit.

Unfortunately…

She underestimated the worth of a Reincarnator.

As the clay figure oozed black blood and dissolved into black mist.

The 「Formless Tree」 still did not grow a new 「Formless Leaf」.

So it was clear, the experiment of creating leaves with clay figures had also failed.

However, while it was a failure in everyone else’s eyes.

The [Observer] clone under Existence Negation seemed to see something invisible to the naked eye at the moment the clay figure dissipated.

It was indescribable, hard to articulate.

Jiang Ye’s [Observer] clone was fused with the light clone that was currently bleeding.

And during the bleeding period, this clone seemed to be immobilized by the 「Formless Tree」, completely unable to move.

So, he couldn’t change his angle to observe what exactly changed when the clay figure dissipated.

Moreover, as more and more blood seeped out…

This clone’s consciousness gradually blurred.

The [Observer] clone itself had almost no consciousness.

He could only rely on other clones to operate.

So…

Just as Jiang Ye, seeing the two experiments fail, thought again about throwing the dice at Jiang Wenxing…

He saw Jiang Wenxing flash and suddenly appear in front of Wu Ying, lifting Wu Ying’s chin.

At this moment, the Wu Ying clone was also bleeding and unable to move.

Jiang Wenxing stared at him and said:

“How strange…”

“Both have Jiang Ye’s face…”

“Others turn directly into points of light, but your blood can nourish the Formless Tree…”

As Jiang Wenxing muttered these words.

Zhou Yuling instantly tensed to the extreme.

At that moment, she even considered—

Should she risk angering Jiang Wenxing and directly destroy the Raven Feather that preserved the [Phantom Parasite] ability?

If that Raven Feather were discovered…

Probably none of the strong players present would be spared!

However.

Before she could make a decision.

A black net instantly restrained her!

Jiang Wenxing’s voice was direct and to the point: “Take it out.”

“……”

The other strong players were still unclear about the situation, not knowing how Zhou Yuling had suddenly offended Jiang Wenxing.

But they still adhered to the principle of not getting involved in matters that didn’t concern them, not daring to speak up for Zhou Yuling.

The air was silent for a moment, no more than 2 seconds.

Zhou Yuling released the Raven Feather storing the [Phantom Parasite] ability.

And that thing…

Jiang Ye was no stranger to it!

Not long ago, Zhou Yuling had jokingly suggested using [Phantom Parasite] to obtain his identity, like Wu Ying, to enjoy the benefits of his clones…

Of course, she changed her tune at the last moment, pissing Jiang Ye off immensely.

And now…

Holy crap!

Could it be…

Is happiness arriving so suddenly again?!

Wait, no!

This sudden happiness has a major flaw!

When Zhou Yuling proposed the Phantom Parasite plan to Jiang Ye, she had coincidentally transformed into Jiang Ye’s appearance first!

So at that time, coordinating with the trigger effect of Phantom Parasite, Jiang Ye was confident he could trigger the [clone kills clone] effect with 100% certainty!

But now…

When Jiang Wenxing has the strong players trigger the Phantom Parasite effect, he definitely won’t let them put on the mimic mask first!

Thus, it would only be the simple activation of Phantom Parasite, and would not trigger the [clone kills clone] effect!

Dammit!

Such a perfect opportunity to turn everyone into clones!

It’s just one small flaw away from forming a perfect closed loop!

How can this small flaw be bridged?

Use the ability of the [Observer] clone?

But the problem is—

Jiang Wenxing is not an idiot!

He truly cannot see the Observer clone.

But if the Observer really causes some trouble, he couldn’t possibly fail to notice.

Just as Jiang Ye was pondering…

He saw Jiang Wenxing raise high the hand holding that Raven Feather.

With a somewhat complex expression in his eyes, he stroked the eerie black feather.

Then, pinching the feather’s root, he waved his other hand casually.

Zhou Yuling, trapped in the black net, was released again.

“You can rest assured, if only for the sake of this crucial feather, I will spare your life.”

As for the others…

Jiang Wenxing didn’t say.

He put away the Raven Feather, his gaze sweeping over Jiang Ye’s light clone and the Wu Ying clone.

After another moment of silence, he shouted towards the sky:

“I know you must still be nearby, and you can definitely hear my voice.”

“Now, I give you two choices—”

“Either, you send out one clone, and we have a good talk;
“

“Or, I capture your… Zhang Minghan clone, and we have a good talk?”

“See how you choose.”

Damn!

I choose to slap the hell out of you!

Jiang Ye really chose that.

He simply couldn’t take it anymore!

Immediately, he threw a [Dice of Fate], smacking it hard onto Jiang Wenxing’s head!

Of course…

According to the method he used against Zhou Qiming before.

He could use the White Decree to write a [Prophecy] like “Dice of Fate shows skull”.

But to be honest, he still had a slight reservation about the idea of using Jiang Wenxing to turn all the strong players present into clones.

Thus, in the end, he did not use the [Prophecy] ability.

He first observed Jiang Wenxing’s reaction.

He saw that this guy, faced with the [Dice of Fate] appearing above his head, didn’t even show panic.

Instead, he narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered in a deep, ominous tone:

“A new special permission identity, huh…”

With just this mutter, he offered no resistance.

It seemed he simply had no fear of the outcome of the [Dice of Fate]!

And so, in the end…

With Jiang Ye not interfering with the probability.

The result rolled by the [Dice of Fate] was the Holy Grail.

A holy light descended upon Jiang Wenxing.

That energy capable of instantly healing all injuries…

Yet seemed to cause discomfort to Jiang Wenxing.

He frowned slightly, not hiding his disdain as he sneered:

“As expected of something that can generate light clones… even the healing energy carries a disgusting stench.”
