Old Green was taken aback because his understanding of DNA, genes, and the like was limited to snippets from Ultraman and clinical medicine lessons from Xue Dili.

He could understand but not delve deeply into the information. Even with a simple understanding, he was horrified and said, "So, does this mean that the guy with the same face as me is actually identical to those monsters outside?"

"In terms of species, they are all the same, but from an analysis of telomeres and DNA, the old village chief is a humanoid 'monster'," Xue Dili said, looking toward the village chief's little villa.

This information rendered Old Green silent. As the head of the Fairy Tale World's Magic Academy, he'd seen many things, but nothing like this.

This world was strange to them—twisted human heads and humans corresponding to those in the Fairy Tale World, and the "Village Chief Green" who seemed to have long since become a monster but still maintained a human appearance.

And Xue Dili looked at the city-state and continued, "Let me tell you something even stranger, those monsters have their own language and have been communicating."

"Yet these primitives can't understand their words, considering them a polluted language, trying futilely to resist those undying monsters with their ridiculous spears."

"But according to my analysis, these monsters' words translate to 'I feel good' and 'I came to save you,' among others," Xue Dili added, "And I saw with my own eyes a monster pull off a human head, attach it to themselves, and the head revived and assimilated with the monster."

Xue Dili presented all the intelligence he had gathered to Old Green.

Old Green stared blankly at Xue Dili, asking, "What are you trying to say?"

"I'm proposing a possibility: what if the monsters are really trying to 'save these people'?" Xue Dili put forth a hypothesis that Old Green could never have anticipated, "But, the way they save is through 'assimilation'."

"And there's another mystery: the 'Village Chief Green' who shares your face seems to know more but keeps his secrets, unless I use force to get his information, and he's a humanoid, rational monster," Xue Dili further supplemented.

"What's their purpose then?" Old Green didn't fully agree with Xue Dili's guess; he expressed his doubts, as there were too many mysteries about both the monsters and the old village chief.

"I don't know, so I need to catch a monster to experiment on," Xue Dili stood up, and with his skills, he could open a teleportation gate anywhere in this world, no longer needing to walk out under these people's watchful eyes.

Soon, he crossed the teleportation gate to the village outskirts, where Xue Dili had just arrived in this world.

It had once again become a monster-infested Hell, with fungal mats that felt like flesh underfoot, and in the distance, monsters carrying human head lanterns seemed to be searching for something.

Upon noticing Xue Dili, these monsters became extremely excited, charging toward him for all they were worth, frantically chanting, "I came to save you!"

"I'm here to help you!"

And as Xue Dili gazed at the frenzied monsters, a Holy Light appeared in his hand, and he began to chant quickly.

"Holy Light Technique!"

A sun-like beam shot up into the sky, and the fungal mat on the ground retreated instantly, while those fused with the fungal mat screeched wildly but the biologically shaped monsters still howled as they charged.

It seemed that removing and attaching human heads to themselves was of utmost importance to them.

A Beheading Blade appeared in Xue Dili's hand, and in the next moment, a monster with approximately Tier Two strength was dismembered. Its two heads were thrown onto the fungal mat by Xue Dili, and its headless body was controlled by him.

Then, like a brutal butchery, it was quickly reduced to nothing more than a spine resembling a lamb spine, and the bloodied scene made Old Green frown.

The lamb-spine-like monster vertebra still struggled even after separating from the body, displaying unparalleled vitality. Due to the radiance of the Holy Light Corps, the fungal mat couldn't approach, and other monsters could only rage uselessly outside the light.

"Why are you separating this thing out?" Old Green looked at the constantly struggling monster vertebra in Xue Dili's hands, which twisted like a Demon Sword, and thought this brutal scene was unlikely for Xue Dili to perform.

No, Old Green noticed a realization about the other monsters: although grotesque, their heads were always connected to the vertebra except when used as tools or weapons.

That is, this vertebra not only served as their weapon but was also a core organ allowing multiple heads to connect together.

Then, Old Green came to a more terrifying guess, looking at Xue Dili and immediately asking in horror, "Do you intend to attach this vertebra to yourself?"

"Hmm? You guessed it?" Xue Dili spoke, with the Cursed Blood wrapping the lamb-spine-like vertebra. This Treasure from the Great Sage was still his most used Treasure to this day.

Even in unpredictable situations with Xue Dili, the Cursed Blood would instantly strip away this vertebra and any pollution from corresponding areas.

"Are you crazy?" Old Green couldn't fathom why Xue Dili would take such a risk. Has this child always been this bold? Just inserting an unknown monster's vertebra into himself without hesitation.

Is he out of his mind?

And the still-wriggling vertebra looked far from good; Old Green was genuinely worried Xue Dili would attach it and transform into a monster in the next second, saying, "I feel great now, I'm here to save you."

Then it's over.

"No, Old Green, listen to me." Xue Dili looked at the world covered by the Fungal Mat. It was like Hell, with monsters roaming, flesh everywhere, and twisted creatures incessantly repeating those countless words.

What perplexed Xue Dili even more was why the emergency communication device from the Fairy Tale World, upon passing through a Teleportation Gate, led to this hellish world.

Thinking of this, he pointed toward the distant village and said: "Old Green, why does that old village chief have the same face as you?"

Old Green was stunned, unable to respond.

"Why does the Silver Princess's face still look princess-like in this village?"

"Why does the Fairy Tale World's Silver Country have over a thousand people, while this world's human village also still has over a thousand people?"

"Why, are the people from your Fairy Tale World corresponding with this hellish star?"

"Why did the people from the Silver Country in your Fairy Tale World migrate here to establish the Silver Country, while the ancestors of these hellish people likely also migrated here to settle?"

"Do you believe that if we search carefully in that village, we can still find scholars with Watson the Palace Mage's face, and guards from the Silver Country resembling those Tier Two knights from the Otherworld bumpkins?"

"Can there really be so many coincidences?"

Xue Dili pointed out one by one all the key points in this hellish world that correspond with the Fairy Tale World, and Old Green's face became increasingly grim, his beard being pulled to baldness.

All of it pointed to the fact that his world might be fake; then what was he?

"No, your reasoning is flawed. According to you, I am not the King of the Silver Country, so why does the King of this village have a face like mine?" Old Green pointed out the loophole in Xue Dili's reasoning.

And Xue Dili laughed, raising the still wriggling spine in his hand, and said: "That's exactly the question I'm seeking. That's why I'm using these grotesque forms to gather information!"

"Being always in this world, we basically cannot gather more information, and I can't contact your World Consciousness. Or maybe this Hell Star doesn't even have World Consciousness, but it doesn't matter. I found that in such a case, using the most straightforward method will quickly obtain information!"

Xue Dili laughed as Holy Light shone on his face, with those countless muttering heads behind him, the spine in his hand writhing like a worm. This sacred and bizarre scene made him only feel his throat parched.

Old Green trembled and asked, "What are you going to do!"

"I'm not human anymore! Temporarily, Cursed Blood, in 1 minute, expel this spine for me!" Xue Dili suddenly grabbed the spine and stabbed it into his own back.

The next moment, the spine seemed to have found a host, and under Xue Dili's deliberate relaxation of body protection, it quickly burrowed into his body and fused with his spine.

Suddenly, the world changed!

The bizarre twisted heads disappeared, the flesh-covered hell vanished.

Xue Dili stood in a world filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, sunlight pouring down from the gaps in the blue sky, enveloping the scene in a splendor as if from a fairy tale.

The surrounding flowers bloomed in competition, red, yellow, and purple interweaving into a vivid tapestry, bees flitted among the flowers gathering sweet nectar, while colorful butterflies danced in the air, adding a touch of vitality to the peaceful scene.

Adorable furry little animals wandered by Xue Dili's side. He looked up in the direction of the original village and found it was a country lush with thorns and flowers.

It seemed that a silver giant dragon began to roar in the sky, and the surrounding little animals scattered and ran away in hops and jumps.

Old Green's expression twisted completely as he watched this scene instantly change from hell to Fairy Tale World. He looked at Xue Dili in horror and at this fairy tale world, and the Silver City that had been destroyed by the Witch in the direction of the original primitive villagers.

The silver-white giant dragon instantly descended in front of Xue Dili, its massive body occupying the entire view, causing even Old Green, the old Mage, to be cautious.

At this moment, he only felt as if his head was exploding, with countless knowledge and cosmos spinning in his mind, unable to think. This old Mage felt for the first time the sensation of his worldview shattering.

And in the next moment, the silver-white giant dragon gently flapped its wings, instantly transforming into a stunningly beautiful woman, her long hair cascading like a waterfall, skin as fair as snow, eyes as deep as the sea, reminiscent of a witch wearing a Wizard Hat.

The witch looked at Xue Dili, her alluring smile as predatory as a hunter graced her lips, her chest almost bursting forth: "Beautiful young man, welcome to my castle, Silver City!"

Xue Dili also smiled, looking at Old Green's currently twisted expression, saying: "Welcome home, old principal, now do you understand? Those grotesque forms, they are actually creatures living in the Fairy Tale World. They really want to bring others back to the Fairy Tale World."

"And outside this beautiful fairy tale world, there's a star like hell!"
