Let me report to you, the new book will be released between September 10th and 15th.

The new book takes place in another universe and another timeline, and will have a certain connection with "Studying IV", but it should not be a sequel. It may be more appropriate to call it "Sisters' Episode"? But it may not be necessary. The greatest happiness of writing a book is to let go of your own freedom. As you write, you will let yourself go. Who knows how it will develop later?

The following is the last small easter egg in "Xing Si" and a trailer for the new book, but the specific details are subject to the main text of the new book.

Thank you for your support along the way, and hope that we can continue to move forward hand in hand, five years, ten years, forever!

...

In the cloud of infinite probability, another universe, another timeline.

On the blue planet swept by the raging waves, a small town with beautiful mountains and rivers ushered in an unprecedented and beautiful meteor shower.

The star fragments from the depths of the starry sea are like hazy mist, like burning fireflies, like a fluttering dream, floating and dancing lightly with the wind.

Citizens in the small town have never seen such a beautiful meteor shower. They come to the streets, roofs and parks to enjoy the beautiful scenery that is brighter than fireworks, and bathe in the colorful light.

Deep in the park, a star crumb fell into the weeds like a fragmented dandelion, and soon, weak ripples emerged:

“…Help, save me!”

A young man was squatting beside him and watching the meteor shower. He was slightly stunned. He didn't know where the courage came from, so he found a branch, held his breath, and pushed away the grass.

Deep in the grass, a glimmer of light flashed, and a very strange creature was floating?

It seemed to be a combination of jellyfish and octopus, but it also had a crystal-like texture. The crystal clear body was only the size of a thumb. When you look closely, there were endless stars inside, which slowly rotated, flowed, collided and split, just like the whole picture of the Milky Way that a young man had seen on the Internet.

Some kind of wonderful creature composed of miniature galaxies!

The young man was stunned and couldn't speak for a long time.

This "thumb octopus" composed of endless stars seems to be dying, unable to resist the gravity of the blue planet, gradually collapsed among the weeds, unable to wave its tentacles, and ripples appearing towards the young man's brain.

"Save me." It moaned again.

"You, what are you, an alien?" The young man's eyes were straight and he stuttered.

"I'm a devouring beast."

Thumb octopus said, "Don't be afraid, I'm very weak."

"Devouring Beast?"

The young man was confused, "What is that? How could you speak? Wait, is this the legendary spiritual communication? High technology!"

"We devour the clan is a friendly race in the multiverse who is hardworking, brave, peaceful and kind in nature. We have always lived honestly in the 'black hole abyss' and lived a carefree and peaceful life."

The thumb octopus waved its tentacles and cried, "I didn't expect that a group of demons flew into our homes, destroyed the black hole abyss, and destroyed our "devouring empire".

"My grandfather is the leader of the Devouring Empire and the only "Eternal Devouring Beast" in the clan. He was no match for the demon, especially the demon king. It was terrible, it was so terrible that the demon king didn't even take action. He defeated my grandfather just by a leg hair of the demon king!"

"The Devil's...Legs?"

The young man tilted his head and thought for a while, then looked around, "Is this a secret filming of a funny show? You are some kind of illusion made by laser, right? Let the crew get out, I have to collect money when I go on the show!"

"No, although it sounds ridiculous, I really didn't lie to you. Really, that guy claimed to be a leg hair of the Demon King. He defeated the Eternal Devouring Beast, and then the Devouring Empire collapsed. All the "cosmic, galaxy, star and planetary" devouring beasts fell, and only we "seed beasts" were left to escape by luck. However, most of the seed beasts were also intercepted and killed by the demons? I was probably the only seed beast that successfully escaped in the entire Devouring Empire."

The thumb octopus said pitifully, "Save me, I will repay you."

"oh?"

The young man rubbed his chin and his eyes emitted a greedy light, "How can you repay me, what can you do?"

"Our devouring clan has extremely powerful natural magical powers, which can devour the emotions and emotions of the most powerful power in the universe, intelligent life, and transform them into various forms of energy."

Thumb octopus said proudly, "I can make you extremely powerful, far beyond your imagination, and even break through the starry sea and spread across the universe."

"And then you said, the 'Devil's Leg Hair' was easily destroyed, you think I'm stupid!"

The young man took out his backpack, took out a can of transparent snacks that he had not eaten clean, carefully put the thumb octopus in with a branch, and turned it on the bottle cap, "Forget it, if you really want to repay me, just stay honestly."

"etc"

The thumb octopus sensed the danger and twisted uneasily, "What are you going to do, where are you going to take me?"

“Parc Police Station.”

The young man walked and said, "The spiritual energy has recently been revived, and the whole earth is in chaos. Our community has also sent a notice to make the general public be alert. If you see aliens falling from the sky, cultivators passing by, magicians who appear mysteriously, or when you walk, you see a strange old man pestering us to teach us peerless magical powers... As long as this happens, report it to the police immediately, or send the invaders to the police station, this is considered bravery, and you can get a high bonus, and maybe you can even go to TV."

"……What!"

The thumb octopus screamed, "What kind of universe is this? What timeline is this!"

"Besides, I'm not a veterinarian and I don't know how to treat the devouring beast from outer space."

The young man said for granted, "If you want me to save you, wouldn't I have to send you to the police station and then transfer to a hospital or veterinary hospital, otherwise?"

Thumb octopus can't speak.

"If you have difficulties, look for the police. If you want to get help, the police will definitely be more suitable than me."

The young man slowly said, "Unless, what you call 'help' will be bad for me, for example, taking away my mind and turning me into a puppet of some kind. I have also watched a lot of science fiction and movies, so don't do this!"

The thumb octopus still didn't speak, but the young man felt his backpack shaking violently. At the same time, a sharp roar came from the depths of his brain.

He staggered in pain and fell to the ground on one knee.

The backpack came out of his hand and the transparent jar rolled out.

It is obvious that some strange force rushed left and right inside, knocking out one gap after another on the can, and the whistling sound in the young man's brain was like a tide, one wave higher than another.

"ah!"

The young man had a split headache and was about to lift the glass jar away with one foot, but he couldn't control himself and fell directly next to the jar.

Now it can be clearly seen that there was indeed a clear crack on the jar, and the thumb octopus swallowing beast inside disappeared.

At the same time, the pain in his mind became stronger and stronger. The young man felt that his three souls and seven spirits were sucked away by a vast star or a black hole. He seemed to sink into a bottomless black swamp, gradually losing himself.

Just as the consciousness was about to collapse, the opponent's power was exhausted.

The tide gradually faded, the swamp slowly dried up, the stars and black holes turned into streams of light, scattered into all directions of the young man's mind.

"What a pity. It's just one step away from thirty or fifty universes and thirty or fifty timelines!"

The young man heard the devouring beast let out the last whine in his mind, "Just one step away, I have the opportunity to revive the great devouring empire and become a new eternal devouring beast. Go back to seek revenge on the 'Demon King's Leg Hair', why, why is this!"

"Hey, hey, my friend, don't die."

The young man was anxious, "At least you don't die in my mind. Can you go out? I'll dig a hole for you and bury you with a glorious scenery? You cross the sea of ​​stars and travel thousands of miles. What's going on in my mind? I, my mind is so dirty!"

"I'm sorry, I can't do it, who told you to refuse to help me?"

The voice of the devouring beast contained infinite resentment, "I am unlucky, and you are unlucky. Be prepared to welcome your destiny!"

"What fate?"

The young man was sweating coldly, "I was so full that I could go out to visit a park. I was just a honest and honest citizen. I was greedy for a few bonuses. Whoever I got offended? You really, really insist on it. Is it okay to die outside? Otherwise, I will find someone for you. I have a buddy who thinks about awakening superpowers, galloping and other things all day long. Can I shout for you? "

"It's too late."

The voice of the devouring beast became weaker and darker. In the end, it turned into a murmur that entangled the soul of the young man, "Accept a brand new destiny. From this moment on, you are the last devouring beast in the multiverse... embark on the journey, move forward bravely, grow from a seed beast to an eternal devouring beast, rebuild the devouring empire, and defeat..."

The sound of the devouring beast disappeared.
Chapter completed!
