The members of the two godslaying squads looked at Xu Ran in unison and then laughed one after another.

Liu Yan laughed heartily: "Little guy, why are you interested in the mysterious eyeball?"

"To be honest, the mysterious eyeball will fly faster and faster. If it encounters a god, the god will take it away. When that happens, we definitely won't be able to catch up..."

"Of course, we didn't plan to chase it either. Chasing it is too dangerous."

The mature woman Xiao Xue blocked the Substitute Paperman: "Hey, hey, hey, have you already planned to leave? That's strange. We haven't agreed yet."

"Fighting against divine-level creatures is tiring. We want to rest and sleep peacefully, right? Everyone!"

Lin Feng coughed twice: "Ever since you heard about the mysterious eyeball, you've been a bit unsettled. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Xu Ran: "..." Nonsense, anyone would be anxious! The mysterious eyeball, to others, signifies indestructibility, signifies extreme disgust.

But to me, it is the divine origin, a divine-level resource.

It is closely related to nurturing my root bone in the future.

Not getting it equals a significant loss.

To persuade the two godslaying squads.

Xu Ran had no choice but to be honest about part of it: "How should I put this, I can restrain the Heaven-Gifted Divine Techniques of the Flying Head Ghost. I can also destroy that mysterious eyeball. Uncle Ye can vouch for me."

Ye Ping: "..."

He nodded: "Yes, I can vouch for it."

As the words fell, there was dead silence in the room. Odd and shocked glances were cast at the Substitute Paperman Xu Ran, then at Ye Ping, and then at Xu Ran again.

Should this be called the innocence of youth?

Or is it that the young genius is still inexperienced, having not witnessed the terror of the mysterious eyeball, hence overconfident?

If it is overconfidence.

Ye Ping surely wouldn't be overconfident, right?

Fourteen people were skeptical, their subconscious told them, destroying the mysterious eyeball is an impossible feat.

But.

But.

They looked at the self-assured Substitute Paperman Xu Ran, their eyes filled with memories of their younger selves...

Back then, they too were young and fearless, determined to change the world!

Now, although they understood the immortal nature of Resentful Gods, divine-level Crystal Beasts, divine-level Ghosts... even though they were beaten down...

In the face of the confidence and determination of their successors, their instinct was to protect and encourage.

Lin Feng exchanged glances with the others; everyone was silently nodding.

"Seems like everyone agrees to give it a try. Then let's go and let the little guy have a shot."

The mature woman Xiao Xue: "It doesn't matter if you fail, you're this kid who could fiercely cut 10,000 Flying Head Ghosts at the age of eight. When you grow up, lead the godslaying squad, wipe out holy creatures, forcing them to slowly resurrect in the springs. That would be hugely satisfying."

Liu Yan likewise offered preemptive encouragement: "Yes, kill them once, strip them of their energy, they would need ten years to recover."

Xu Ran smiled faintly, encouraged to possess the [Twilight of the Gods], hmm... anyway, both godslaying squads agreed!

If we can catch up with the mysterious eyeball, we can harvest some divine origin, whether it's one drop or two, it doesn't matter!

Even one drop is a big gain!

However.

Before setting out.

Xu Ran, cautious as usual: "I want to first confirm, there are no dangerous divine-level creatures lurking over there, right?"

The members of the two godslaying squads exchanged glances.

Lin Feng: "Really cautious huh, obviously anxious yet still repeatedly confirming safety..."

"How should I put this, at least when we were fighting over there earlier, no other gods interfered. Also, rest assured, our Fire Prison Squad and Purifying Soul Squad are the eleventh and thirteenth godslaying squads, even if encountering a god, as long as it's not a mysterious mechanism monster, we can keep you safe."

The Fire Prison Squad captain Liu Yan looked at Xu Ran appreciatively: "You might not understand our jargon—what we call mechanism monsters specifically refers to creatures like Flying Head Ghosts. They have unique 'Heaven-Gifted Divine Techniques', if you can't unravel them and find their true form... you'll only be toyed with endlessly."

"Mechanism monsters belong to the weirdest, most disgusting type of abomination. They're innately blessed, very easy to become gods, and with every new mechanism monster appearing... the human side pays a heavy price."

"But the Flying Head Ghost earlier was quite unlucky... just showed off its divine abilities, but got wiped out by you."

Liu Yan couldn't help but laugh as he said it.

They used to encounter mechanism monsters that weren't too strange... ended up escaping barely alive with severe injuries.

This time, encountering the Flying Head Ghost, they thought they'd suffer again.

Who knew Xu Ran was wreaking havoc on the third line of defense, causing the Flying Head Ghost's energy to disrupt, revealing its flaws...

Has to be said.

This was the easiest battle they had!

The mature woman of the Fire Prison Squad, Xiao Xue: "One more thing to add..."

"Typically, mechanism monsters won't casually go on the offensive. Compared to other divine-level creatures, the true form of mechanism monsters is more fragile.

Their strength lies in their high potential for growth! To grow to higher levels, mechanism monsters often cautiously hide in the rear, focusing on growth, waiting to become upper-level gods."

"Attacking the safe zone, they leave to ordinary gods. Even so, in the past two hundred years, humans have encountered 427 mechanism monsters, over 2000 Yue Realm experts died or were injured! Truly a heavy loss..."

Xu Ran pondered: "[Nightmare Vengeful Mother] is considered a mechanism monster too?"

Lin Feng firmly: "Yes! And quite a strange mechanism monster at that."
