Minecraft: I Am The Demon King

That night, a plain was brightly illuminated by firelight.

Mo Jiang was advancing towards the Eternal Radiance Guild's base while lighting fires along the way.

He was walking along just fine when suddenly an Enderman jumped out and blocked his path.

Mo Jiang was about to walk around it and continue forward.

But then he saw the Enderman in front of him suddenly open its mouth.

A strange voice came from its throat.

"Yiyi ni...you...hao hao...good..."

Hearing the sound from the Enderman, Mo Jiang instantly got goosebumps all over his body.

"Mommy!!! Oh my dear mother!!"

Instinctively raising his hand, a fireball flew toward the Enderman in front of him.

At this moment, the Enderman seemed to be stunned by Mo Jiang's reaction. It didn't expect Mo Jiang to attack it at all.

The fireball instantly hit the Enderman's face.

"Gah gah gah..."

With a miserable scream, the Enderman was instantly melted by the fireball Mo Jiang had thrown.

Seeing this, Mo Jiang scratched the back of his head.

"Uh..."

"I really didn't mean to..."

Mo Jiang had been startled by the Enderman just now. Mainly because the eerie sounds it made were terrifying as hell.

Coupled with the way it spoke, and the nighttime atmosphere...

Anyone would be scared.

Mo Jiang had instinctively raised his hand, not expecting the fireball to launch.

Now, seeing the Enderman's corpse, Mo Jiang belatedly exclaimed in shock.

"Hiss?! It was talking just now?!"

"Holy crap?! Endermen can talk?!"

"Emmmm... I've already crossed into this world, I guess Endermen talking isn't that strange, huh?..."

It must be said, Mo Jiang's acceptance level was extraordinarily high. But what he said was quite reasonable.

This game already had beings like HIM, and Mo Jiang himself had transmigrated into it.

An Enderman being able to talk seemed... fairly logical.

Thinking of this, Mo Jiang smacked his forehead.

"Ah! It seemed to be greeting me just now?!"

"What did it want from me?!"

Mo Jiang finally realized that the Enderman had been trying to communicate with him.

But he had accidentally killed it. Mo Jiang instantly began to regret it.

This was the first talking creature he had encountered in the game! The journey had already been boring enough—if he hadn't killed that Enderman, maybe he could've had a companion!

However, what Mo Jiang cared about most right now was why that Enderman had sought him out.

Thinking of this, Mo Jiang squatted down and poked at the nearly melted remains of the Enderman's body.

"Uh... can this still be salvaged?..."

From afar, another Enderman witnessed Mo Jiang's actions.

It stared deeply at Mo Jiang before instantly teleporting away into the night.

"Mission... failed..."

After Xu Yuan asked Null about the meaning of his existence...

Null didn't reappear for a long time.

Xu Yuan wasn't in a hurry and continued to wait.

Fortunately, persistence pays off, and Xu Yuan finally reached the end of his patience.

Null's voice finally echoed in his mind again.

'I understand now.'

At this moment, Null's voice had undergone a significant change from before.

At first, Null's voice carried a domineering aura. Like the cold and commanding tone of a CEO in romance novels. Every time he spoke to Xu Yuan, it was in the form of an order.

But this time, his voice lacked that arrogance. Instead, it carried a sense of weariness and compromise.

It seemed that these days of mental struggle had worn down his pride. After enduring such spiritual torment, he had finally convinced himself.

Between dignity and survival, he chose the latter.

After all, as long as you're alive, there's hope for a future. Null was smart and understood this point.

Hearing Null's voice, Xu Yuan let out a sigh of relief. After so many days of effort, he had finally succeeded.

"Hm? Understand what?"

Xu Yuan continued to feign ignorance.

Null let out a long sigh before speaking.

'I am your shadow, destined from the moment I was born.'

'My purpose is to always follow you...'

Hearing Null's words, Xu Yuan felt satisfied. Null had finally come to terms with it.

However, Null's tone carried deep dejection. It was clear that although he had accepted reality, he felt as if life had lost its meaning.

This was the lowest point in Null's existence—the most disheartened he had ever been.

But soon, he would experience a "rebirth."

"Accepting fate is indeed a difficult thing."

"But you've already endured the most painful part."

"Congratulations, you've successfully passed my test."

As Xu Yuan's voice fell, Null was stunned.

'Test? What test?'

Xu Yuan didn't respond to Null but instead opened the system interface to check his fear value.

"Only 3 million..."

The last time he checked, his fear value was over 1 million.

After so many days, it had only increased by 2 million.

The growth rate was incredibly slow.

It seemed that players believed the official announcement and were gradually forgetting about HIM.

Now that Null had submitted, Xu Yuan no longer needed to stay hidden. It was time to make an appearance and harvest some fear points.

Stretching his body and loosening his joints, Xu Yuan turned to 007 and the Ender Dragon.

"You two stay here, I'm heading out."

007 nodded in response.

"Yes!"

The Ender Dragon also nodded at Xu Yuan in acknowledgment.

After leaving the island, Xu Yuan first used his clone to scout Pengpeng's guild base.

He had previously instructed his clone to infiltrate the Pengpeng Guild's base. The goal was to gather more information about the players.

Now that Xu Yuan was about to act, his first target would naturally be Pengpeng's guild.

During their conversations, 007 had spoken about Pengpeng several times. Pengpeng was an essential factor in helping the bug and 007 merge. It was thanks to Pengpeng that Xu Yuan found the Eternal Guild's base.

So in a way, Pengpeng had helped Xu Yuan.

But Xu Yuan had already repaid this favor. After all, the Eternal Guild's base, resources, and all the equipment dropped by its players had fallen into Pengpeng's hands.

Pengpeng had since risen to become a guild leader.

Xu Yuan and Pengpeng were now even. Xu Yuan wasn't a saint—he wouldn't abandon his plans over one favor.

This time, to gather fear points, Pengpeng's guild was the most convenient choice.

However, Xu Yuan wasn't planning to wipe them out completely. He'd just kill a few players and let the news spread.

With that thought, Xu Yuan teleported near Pengpeng's guild base

Although Pengpeng had acquired vast resources from the Eternal Guild...

These past few days had not been easy for him.
