I would like to report to everyone that the new book will be released on a good and auspicious day between September 10th and 15th.
The new book takes place in another universe and another timeline.
It will have some connection with "Xiu 4", but it shouldn't be a sequel.
Maybe it's more appropriate to call it a "sister chapter"?
But it’s not necessarily true.
The greatest joy in writing a book is to be free and let yourself go as you write.
Who knows how it will develop in the future?
The following is not only the last little easter egg of "Xiu 4", but also a preview of the new book.
However, for specific details, all content shall be subject to the text of the new book.
Thank you all for your support along the way, and I hope we can continue to move forward hand in hand, five years, ten years, forever!
… In the cloud of infinite probability, there is another universe, another timeline.
On a blue planet swept by raging waves, a small town with beautiful mountains and clear waters ushered in an unprecedented and beautiful meteor shower.
The star fragments from the depths of the sea of stars are like hazy water mist, like burning fireflies, like a swirling dream, floating and dancing in the wind.
The citizens of the small town had never seen such a beautiful meteor shower.
They came to the streets, rooftops and parks to enjoy the beautiful scenery that was more brilliant than the fireworks and bathed in the colorful light.
Deep in the park, a star fragment fell into the weeds like a fragmented dandelion.
After a while, weak ripples appeared: "...Help, help me!"
A young man was squatting beside him out of boredom to enjoy the meteor shower.
He was slightly startled.
He found the courage from nowhere, found a branch, held his breath, and pushed aside the grass.
Deep in the grass, a faint light flickered, and there was a very strange... creature floating there?
It seems to be a combination of jellyfish and octopus, but it blooms with a crystal-like texture.
The crystal-clear body is only the size of a thumb.
If you look carefully, it contains endless stars, slowly rotating, flowing, colliding and splitting, like young people.
I have seen the entire Milky Way galaxy on the Internet.
——Some kind of wonderful creature composed of miniature galaxies!
The young man was stunned and speechless for a long time.
This "thumb octopus" composed of endless stars seemed to be dying, unable to withstand the gravity of the blue planet, and gradually collapsed among the weeds.
It feebly waved its tentacles, sending ripples towards the young man's brain.
"Help me," it moaned again.
"You, what are you, an alien?"
The young man's eyes went straight and he stammered.
"I am a devouring beast."
Thumb Octopus said, "Don't be afraid, I'm very weak."
"The Devouring Beast?"
The young man was confused, "What is that?
How can you talk?
Wait, is this the legendary spiritual communication?
It's high technology!"
"We, the Devouring Race, are a hard-working, brave, peace-loving, kind-natured and friendly race in the multiverse.
We have been living honestly in the 'Black Hole Abyss', living a carefree life without fighting against the world."
The thumb octopus waved its tentacles and cried, "Unexpectedly, a group of demons invaded our home, destroyed the black hole abyss, and destroyed our 'devouring empire'.
"My grandfather is the leader of the Devouring Empire, and he is also the only 'Eternal Devouring Beast' in the tribe.
In the end, he is no match for the demons, especially the demon king.
It is terrible.

It is really terrible.
The demon king did not even take action.
He is just a part of the demon king.
He defeated my grandfather with just a hair on his leg!"
"The Demon King's...leg hair?"
The young man tilted his head and thought for a while, then looked around, "Are you secretly filming some funny show?
You are an illusion made by some kind of laser, right?
Tell the camera crew to get out, I have to pay for being on the show!"
" "No, although it sounds ridiculous, I really didn't lie to you.
Really, anyway, that guy claimed to be a leg hair of the Demon King.
He defeated the Eternal Devouring Beast, and then the Devouring Empire collapsed, and all the universe Level, galaxy level, star level and planet level 'devouring beasts' have all fallen, leaving only us 'seed beasts' who managed to escape by chance - however, most of the seed beasts have also been intercepted by the demons and killed. ?
I am probably the only seed beast in the entire Devouring Empire that has successfully escaped."
Thumb Octopus said pitifully, "Save me, I will repay you."
"oh?"
The young man rubbed his chin, his eyes shining with greed, "How can I repay you?
What can you do?"
"We, the Devouring Clan, possess extremely powerful innate magical powers.
We are able to devour the emotions and desires of intelligent life, the most powerful force in the universe, 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 sea of stars and span the universe——" "Then the 'Devil King's leg hair' was easily wiped out by your words.
You think I'm stupid!"
The young man took off his backpack, took out an uneaten transparent snack can, carefully put the thumb octopus in with a branch, and screwed on the bottle cap, "Forget about traveling across the universe.
If you really want to repay me, just stay here."
"etc--" The thumb octopus sensed the danger and twisted uneasily, "What are you going to do?
Where are you going to take me?"
"Park Police Station."
The young man walked and said, "Recently, spiritual energy has revived.
The whole earth is in chaos.
Our community has also issued a notice to keep the general public vigilant in case they see aliens falling from the sky or cultivators who have traveled through time.
The magician who appears mysteriously, Or maybe we saw a weird old man on the street asking us to teach us his unique magical powers...
Whenever something like this happens, report it to the police immediately, or send the intruder to the police station.
This is considered a brave act, and you can get a high bonus, maybe.
You can even be on TV.”
"……What!"
The thumb octopus screamed, "What kind of universe and timeline is this!"
"Besides, I'm not a veterinarian - veterinarians don't know how to treat the Devouring Beast from outer space."
The young man said matter-of-factly, "If you want me to save you, don't I have to send you to the police station and then transfer you to a hospital or veterinary hospital?
Otherwise?"
The thumb octopus was speechless.
"If you have any difficulties, go to the police.
If you want help, the police are definitely more suitable than me."
The young man said slowly, "Unless your so-called 'help' will be detrimental to me, for example, taking away my sanity and turning me into some kind of puppet - I have also read many science fiction novels and movies, let's not come here. set!"
The thumb octopus still didn't speak, but the young man felt his backpack shaking violently, and at the same time, a sharp whistle came from deep in his brain.
He staggered in pain and fell to one knee.
The backpack came out of my hand, and the transparent jar rolled out.
It was obvious that some strange force was rushing left and right inside, creating cracks on the can, and the howling in the young man's mind was like a tide, rising one wave after another.

"ah!"
The young man had a splitting headache and was about to lift the glass jar away with his kick, but he couldn't control himself and fell directly next to the jar.
Now it can be clearly seen that there is indeed an obvious crack on the jar, but the thumb octopus inside - the Devouring Beast has disappeared.
At the same time, the pain in his mind became more and more intense.
The young man felt that his three souls and seven souls were being sucked away by a vast star or a black hole.
He seemed to be sinking into a bottomless black swamp, gradually losing himself. .
Just when his consciousness was about to collapse, the other party's power was exhausted.
The tide gradually receded, the swamp slowly dried up, and the stars and black holes turned into little streams of light, scattered in all directions in the young man's mind.
"What a pity.
We have escaped from thirty to fifty universes and thirty to fifty timelines, but we are only one step away from it, the last step!"
The young man heard the Devouring Beast's final cry in his mind, "Just one step away, I have the chance to revive the great Devouring Empire, become the new Eternal Devouring Beast, and go back to seek revenge on the 'Demon King's Leg Hair'.
Why, this Exactly why!”
“Hey, hey, hey, friend, don’t die——” The young man was anxious, "At least don't die in my mind.
How about you die outside?
I'll dig a hole for you and bury you in glory?
How can you cross the sea of stars and die thousands of miles away in my mind?"
Things, I, my mind is so dirty!”
"I'm sorry, I can't do it.
Who told you not to help me?"
There was infinite resentment in the voice of the Devouring Beast, "I am unlucky, and you are also unlucky.
Get ready to meet your fate!"
"What fate?"
The young man was sweating heavily, "I just ate enough to go out for a walk in the park.
I'm just an honest citizen who does my duty, and I'm just coveting a few bonuses.
I messed with whoever I messed with.
You really, really "Hold on a little longer and go outside.
Otherwise, I'll help you find someone.
I have a buddy who thinks about awakening superpowers and running around all day long.
Can I give you a shout?"
"It's too late."
The Devouring Beast's voice became weaker and weaker, and became darker and darker.
In the end, it turned into a whisper that haunted the young man's soul, "Accept a new destiny.
From this moment on, you will be the last Devouring Beast in the multiverse..."
Embark on the journey and move forward bravely, grow from a seed beast to an eternal devourer beast, rebuild the devourer empire, and defeat..."
The Devouring Beast's voice disappeared.
And everything has just begun.
