The broken World Ark, allegedly a magical treasure from ancient celestial gods.

It hung high above the firmament, resembling a floating continent, vast and boundless.

Atop this ark, there were mountains, lands, rivers, lakes, and cities… Its vastness overwhelmed even Li Muyang, who was ordinarily well-traveled and knowledgeable, when he first laid eyes on it.

Such a colossal ark, despite being dilapidated and damaged, still hung high in the sky, its legacy enduring through generations… Which celestial god had crafted this masterpiece?

Li Muyang furrowed his brows in thought, having never heard of the World Ark in ancient times, nor of any celestial god who had forged such a splendid treasure.

Could it be a new magical treasure crafted by Jiang Xiaoyu after his death, amidst the dark turmoil and Chaos?

Li Muyang looked up at the sky, observing the massive ark floating above, and the factions of both celestials and demons from various sects gathered around the ark, demanding it hand over Li Damu and his spouse…

Li Muyang sighed and shook his head, “In this world, all hustle for profit.”

Due to advancements in cultivation techniques, this continent’s demands for innate talent in cultivation were not high—as long as one had resources to invest, even mortals could become masters.

Cultivators flocked like carps crossing a river in great numbers, bringing about fierce conflicts over interests.

These cultivators neither practiced mental methods nor comprehended the grand path, only chasing after resources—be it celestial or demonic paths, all ruthlessly pursued profit, dignity be damned.

It was simply the darkest underworld of immortal cultivation.

At this moment, Li Muyang, feeling disheartened, found himself growing fonder of the neighboring Tianyuan Continent’s Mysterious Sword Sect.

The Mysterious Sword Sect, filled with good people, vanquishing demons, defending the Way, and protecting the common people, was the epitome of righteousness, almost like a fairytale.

Li Muyang stood on the ground, silently observing the activities in the heavens above, pondering how to stealthily infiltrate the World Ark.

With cultivators from both celestial and demonic paths gathered outside the World Ark, forcing it to surrender people, the ark’s entrances were tightly sealed and heavily guarded.

For Li Muyang, sneaking in would be extremely difficult.

While observing and contemplating, a system alert suddenly popped up in Li Muyang’s view.

[New game “Land of Curse” detected]

[Load new game?]

[Yes/No]

The system alert popping up took Li Muyang by surprise.

A new game?

Of course, he had to agree.

Without hesitation, Li Muyang chose to load it.

He was nearly sick of playing “Godslayer Simulator,” a pixelated mini-game.

On his way here, he had successfully completed the easy mode, earning a +50% cultivation bonus.

At that moment, Li Muyang’s cultivation level was at the early stages of the Divine Wanderer realm (57%).

The challenge in normal mode escalated exponentially, and he was brutally massacred upon entering.

Although Li Muyang was still progressing, each time slicing off a few more drops of blood from the BOSS, the progress was too slow and the gameplay tedious.

After all, this fighting mini-game had no storyline and was incredibly difficult, probably only enjoyable for masochists.

Now the system had offered a new game, providing a perfect change of pace.

As Li Muyang chose to load the game, a loading progress bar popped up in his view.

This time, the game took a very long time to load.

It loaded for a whole day and night before the game finally loaded successfully… clearly a large-scale game.

This made Li Muyang even more excited.

Once the game loaded successfully, he eagerly clicked to enter.

Along with a fog-enshrouded landscape painting unfolding in his view, a dark mist appeared before Li Muyang.

As the mist spread in the center of his vision, a hysterical woman’s sobbing echoed from the darkness.

“I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die!”

The woman’s cries set the stage.

In an instant, Li Muyang felt as though he had fallen into a bustling market, as countless noisy and pitiful cries suddenly exploded in his ears.

“I don’t want to die! Don’t want to die!”

“I want to live on! Live on!”

“My child! My child is only three years old, please show some mercy, at least save him!”

“Fairy Qinghe promised us! We would all survive! You can’t ignore us!”

“I came from Nanjiang City! Fairy Moxian! Fairy Moxian sent me here! I need to get in!”

“This place isn’t yours, you can’t stop us!”

“`

Piercing screams, roars, and curses rolled past Li Muyang’s ears like chaotic thunder.

Following that, a crowded flow of people appeared in his sight.

Countless people crying out, yelping in curses, pushing forward.

At the end of that scene was a forest of blades, cold swords blocking everyone trying to enter.

This disastrous scene made Li Muyang frown.

In the next instant, the scene changed, and the noise also faded.

On the quiet scroll, a solemn and empty Immortal Palace emerged.

An Immortal with a blurred face stood quietly outside the great gate of the Immortal Palace, endless stairs beneath his feet, a cold hall behind him.

He stood indifferently at the top of the scroll, quietly overlooking the noisy, agitated crowd below.

The long stream of people surged like a tide, extending to the ends of the earth, countless in number.

The blurred-faced Immortal watched this scene indifferently and finally slowly raised his right hand, making a certain decision.

As the Immortal’s gesture fell, the curtain of the scene also dropped, concealing both the Immortal and the desolate palace.

Lines of bold black and white script emerged in the field of vision.

“The Immortal bearing sins, by his own hand, severed people’s last path to survival.”

“He, broke his promise.”

“Thus, the curse followed like a shadow.”

The bold black and white letters hung suspended, twinkling in the darkness.

Then, the black and white letters disappeared.

The cold, empty Immortal Palace emerged again.

However, within this desolate palace, only ruins remained.

On the central high platform of the Immortal Palace, a twisted, broken corpse sat slumped.

The majestic robes on the corpse fluttered in the cold wind sweeping through the hall.

The remains of the Immortal sat silently in the center of the hall, in despair and solitude.

The scene began to retreat, the remains of the Immortal in the hall center growing more distant, smaller.

Eventually, the entire hall shrank within the scroll.

A huge, broken ark appeared on the scroll.

Numerous ghostly figures with sinister laughs swayed atop the ark.

Their ferocious, ugly apparitions tore open numerous rifts in the night sky with their howls.

Black and white letters emerged again.

“Shadows, envelop this land.”

“Despair, spreads to every corner.”

“This is a land left from ancient times, and also the Land of Curse.”

The opening CG that appeared in the view finally ended at this point.

Then, the game entry interface appeared.

A colossal ark hovered in space, serving as the background.

But on this ark, vast as a continent, countless sinister and terrifying ghostly figures swayed, laughing sharply in the darkness, constantly moving near the game text, seemingly eager to surge out of the screen and dismember and devour Li Muyang outside the screen.

Seeing this sinister and terrifying game interface, and looking at the very familiar huge ark, Li Muyang’s expression turned ugly.

“… My god! A horror game?”

“And it’s a horror game based on the Ark from Beyond?”

Isn’t this supposed Ark from Beyond supposed to be a secluded paradise away from strife?

How could there be so many ghosts and curses, damn it!

Li Muyang hated horror games the most. He had played many games in his previous life, but never touched horror games.

Even the hottest horror games held no interest for him.

Yet he had not expected that this game would max out the horror elements.

And even used the Ark from Beyond as the map…

Looking up at the immense ark above his head, Li Muyang muttered: “”
