Chapter 194: Wind Spirit Moon Shadow! Add Points!

Boom—!

At some unknown point, thick clouds had gathered densely over the midair of Ahowa County, and house-sized spherical lightning bolts trailed silver-white streamers as they slammed brutally into the ground.

All manner of strange omens seemed to be brewing in the sky, but as a rift appeared in the Astral Realm, with a tide of crimson surging within it, some of the orthodox gods only managed to seal off this region in time.

The Abyss Gate of the demon world had swung open!

If it were the usual Cosmic Dark Side, it would be manageable—at worst a mere invasion of Abyss demons—but now even demons could barely survive there.

The "Mother Tree of Desire" was attempting to enter Earth through the controlled "Cosmic Dark Side."

The earth split apart, and a bottomless chasm appeared on the outskirts of Ahowa County, rapidly extending toward the center of Backlund.

Zhongli's true body stood atop a mountain peak on the outskirts of Backlund, arms folded across his chest, his expression solemn as he gazed into that lightless black abyss.

The other side was probably trying to shift the entire space beneath Backlund, so the orthodox god Church might have reservations, and at the same time they could move freely underground.

Light flared in Zhongli's eyes, and five pillar-like rocks symbolizing the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth rose from the earth, each carrying spiritual resonance of a different attribute, taller even than the highest peak in Ahowa County.

The five rock pillars stood in the way at the junction between Backlund and Ahowa County.

"Descension of the Divine Firmament!"

Blazingly brilliant golden clouds appeared in the sky above Ahowa County, with a hollow void at their center, dark and unfathomably deep.

A celestial star fell from the distant deeps of space, plunging straight toward the center point encircled by the rock pillars, and with it descended thunder and a hidden power.

Yet within the abyss, streaks of blood-red light appeared, splitting open to form one pupil after another.

"There must be some other power holding the orthodox gods in check; the other side must have paid no small price."

"There's one strange thing—these hidden methods never even appeared in the original work; they must be trump cards prepared over many years to interfere with Earth."

Zhongli's historical projection said to Su Lin:

"The Mother Tree of Desire has taken quite an interest in you."

The barrage in the livestream room was still scrolling nonstop, and the corner of Su Lin's mouth twitched involuntarily.

Ye Fan: "Su Zongzhu, the Mother Tree wants to have a child with you."

Xiao Yan: "Su Zongzhu, the Mother Tree wants to have a child with you."

Lu Mingfei: "Su Zongzhu, the Mother Tree wants to have a child with you."

Weigong Shilang: "Is Su Lin alright?"

Song Shuhang: "Isn't this very dangerous?! Can the senior handle it?"

Song Shuhang couldn't quite understand—that was an Old One, after all. Su-senior was strong, sure, but faced with this situation, could he really handle it?

Xiao Yan: "One Outer God shouldn't be a problem, right? After all, we don't know what other cheats he has."

Han Li: "Brother Su, be careful."

"This power won't last long—it's like water without a source. It looks like they've used Si-Er-A as a vessel for divine descent." Zhongli frowned as he analyzed.

Su Lin, off to the side, raised a hand and cast a Light Storm, attempting to use a divine-tier spell to interrupt the other side's transformation process.

"Still has invincibility frames?"

A blood-colored robe descended ahead, and an illusory crimson swallowed all light; the surrounding space was suffused with a crimson nebula glittering with starlight.

"It seems the one interested in you isn't just the Mother Tree of Desire, but also—" Zhongli paused here, looking at one of Si-Er-A's hands, where the aberrant manifestation clearly shared the same source as the corruption on Roselle's body:

"The Fallen Mother Goddess."

The moment the words fell, that historical projection shattered and returned to nothingness; the external connection was severed. Having already lost the spiritual support of Miss Kelaien, the historical projection now also lost the divine power transmission from its true body, and naturally dispersed.

Xiao Yan: "What did this streamer do in another world? To get treatment that surpasses the protagonist's."

Zhang Chulan: "Big shot, how about we just slip away and come back later to settle the score."

Ye Fan: "Little Su, are you really alright? Can you hold up?"

Purple-Gold Divine Dragon: "The Mother Tree of Desire wants to bear your child, the Fallen Mother Goddess wants you to bear hers—this relationship is such a mess, hahahahaha."

Yi Leina: "Nooo, the image of Teacher Su Tuoni with a big belly is way too terrifying."

Lu Mingfei: "Teacher Su Tuoni?"

Yi Leina: "Ah, slip of the tongue."

Only Su Lin remained in the field, and a flood of thoughts flashed through his mind.

Today the ambush is on me? In the original work you guys never targeted Miss Kelaien like this?!

Why? Just because I jumped in the Fallen Mother Goddess's face and taunted her? Then what is the Mother Tree of Desire joining in for?!

Wait, the Mother Tree of Desire seems to be on the moon too—did my last AoE poke hit Her last time? How petty, being an Old One with no magnanimity.

Although Su Lin silently complained, he understood things absolutely couldn't be that simple. These beings all weighed profit and loss; they wouldn't do something thankless just to vent their anger.

The opposing Si-Er-A originated from the Mother Tree of Desire stripping Sequence 1 characteristics from the "Bound God." Though a child, it was essentially the Mother Tree of Desire operating in practice, and could serve as a vessel if needed.

Now the Mother Tree of Desire is even splitting half of this vessel to the Fallen Mother Goddess—when did Outer Gods get along this well? Are you two besties too?!

The most crucial question: how did They know he was here?

Su Lin vaguely grasped something, and the figure of Roselle suddenly flashed through his mind.

Meanwhile, far away in the mausoleum on the secret island, Roselle sat before an LCD television and shook his head—hopefully someone would still bring him games in the future.

The fact that the Fallen Mother Goddess had set her sights on Su Lin meant he had no way to send word at all.

If it really came to it, he could always gain another roommate here, and they could all be sealed together.

Zhongli: "The state of Their descent shouldn't last too long—most likely water without a source; once the time is up, They'll vanish."

Zhongli: "The angels of the orthodox god Church are bringing Sealed Artifacts of Grade 0 to this region. Until then, be extra careful."

That blood-colored robe wrapped around a giant hand, and then that hand dissolved into a pool of flesh and blood, the corrupted, dark energy within forming a crimson sea that rose and fell like tides.

Flowers of flesh and blood bloomed within it, and in the cracked-open parts were blood-red eyeballs.

The blood moon hanging overhead was especially eerie.

The other hand, meanwhile, kept twisting and swelling, transforming into a giant tree composed mainly of flesh-and-blood skin. Its surface was covered in brownish-green tumor-like growths resembling tree knots, some of which had already split open into flower-like organs.

Brownish "branches" shot out rapidly toward Su Lin.

The blood-red robe, unwilling to lag behind, swept forward with the tide.

This sight made Su Lin's scalp prickle.

The pure chaotic energy coating the Godhead, acting as adhesive, flickered briefly, then slowly replenished itself through elemental force.

Genesis of Light!

Su Lin directly activated the strongest spell available within his Godhead: Genesis of Light.

In this space, circular arrays rose one after another, towering from earth to sky, forming six-winged figures composed entirely of pure radiance.

Then, swiftly, all light collapsed into a singularity.

Infinite holy light erupted—blazing, brilliant—the divine spell Genesis of Light, created to recreate the primordial light of creation, unleashed its first thread of "order" in this world dominated by "mad chaos"!

Su Lin's pupils shuddered; he felt a mechanism trigger, instinctively shielding himself with light power to prevent external forces from surging into his body.

Moments later, before the light faded, a fragmentary, tiny crimson thread appeared in the pure white world.

It resembled a torn scrap of cloth, entwined around a brown branch, moving slowly but determinedly toward the center of the light.

The entity at the apex of all Outer Gods, sovereign of all feminine forces in the universe, the Fallen Mother Goddess revealed her essence known as the "Pillar"!

In Su Lin's horrified gaze, the branch flew through the pure white world to his face, then shattered into ash as if completing its task, leaving behind only that crimson thread of "tattered cloth."

Before he could react, the crimson thread writhed and coiled like a venomous snake rearing up, human-like in its gaze as it studied Su Lin's physical form—seeming to sense something—then

plunged directly into Su Lin's Divine Light Avatar.

Inside the Divine Light Avatar, the crimson thread surged straight into Su Lin's Godhead, adding a streak of crimson to the Godhead, where previously the ghostly light and white light had maintained balance.

Thump, thump—

A heartbeat echoed.

"The Godhead!!!"

At this moment, Su Lin finally understood the Fallen Mother Goddess's goal—it was the Godhead?!

On the corrupted secret island of Rosell, the Fallen Mother Goddess had sensed Su Lin's uniquely different power, and through corruption, discerned the origin of this divine-level force.

She realized it was not of this world; if she could contain and control the power within this object, she could not only enhance her own strength, but more importantly, use it as a perfect vessel for divine descent.

She could even transmit the bulk of her power across the stars using this Godhead.

At that time, like a wolf entering a sheepfold, neither the Chosen of the Source Altar nor the gods of Earth would escape.

She could also control the Starry Barrier to exclude other Outer Gods, prioritizing the recovery of her torn Source Essence while making preparations.

And the promise she gave the "Tree of Desire" was to open the barrier, allowing the Tree of Desire to enter first.

The light vanished now; within this space, no flesh-tree remained, no crimson sea, no trace of S'ea—only a remarkable characteristic was coalescing on the ground.

But the eerie crimson moon cast its moonlight upon that Rank-One remarkable characteristic, and from it, a sapling sprouted.

As it grew, it extended immature branches, winding toward Su Lin and his Avatar.

The Tree of Desire wanted a share.

Su Lin's face darkened; he had already lost most control over the Godhead.

He glanced at the branches coiling around his physical body and Avatar—power kept striking his "Tianhe Battle Robe."

Bumps like warts swelled on the branches, then burst open, revealing buds that bloomed into flowers.

These flowers were halted one foot from his physical body by an invisible barrier, but his Avatar was gradually being enveloped by them.

The residual light power on the Avatar faded bit by bit; the flowers crept closer.

In the livestream chatroom,

Ye Fan: "Bro, I requested entry into Lao Zhou's world and he didn't respond—didn't approve!"

Ye Fan: "The Tree of Desire clearly wants to have a baby with you!! Is there any way to escape?!"

Yi Leina: "I—I'm turning off the stream now. Su Lin… good luck."

Lu Mingfei: "I'm rushing back—can you hold on?"

Purple Zi Zi Jin Shen Long: "After that move from the Fallen Mother Goddess, did she already get pregnant?!"

Purple Zi Zi Jin Shen Long: "Avatar, Elder Dragon advises you to give up—some things can infect the core spirit through the connection."

Members of the chatroom watched this scene with worry from their own worlds.

Xiao Yan knew Su Lin had acquired some things from his future self—he shouldn't be in serious danger—but seeing his friend in peril and being powerless to help, his palms clenched tightly.

As fellow transmigrants with shared topics, their relationship was still quite good.

This feeling of wanting to help but being unable to was utterly helpless.

Outside, Zhongli held the curved Spear of Fate, coldly watching the murky depths below, where countless eyes stared at him with human-like interest.

In the sky, a rock spear larger than ordinary mountains floated midair, its tip pointing downward, inscribed with countless runes, charging and ready.

On the earth, wind, fire, thunder, and lightning surged from the rock ridges, pouring into the black abyss within the earth's fissures.

For a moment, no one sent any chat messages.

Su Lin's face was now pitch black; within the giant pistil before him, countless pale, naked bodies—male and female—had formed, extending invitations toward Su Lin.

An invisible force slammed against the barrier formed by the Battle Robe, attempting to stir his primal instinct for reproduction.

The heartbeat within the Divine Light Avatar grew stronger; on the Godhead's surface, the silhouette of a baby gradually took shape.

'Again?!'

"Hehehe hmmm hahahaha!"

Su Lin laughed bitterly with rage, staring at the "plant people" before him gesturing and taunting him, and the phantom crimson infant forming on his Godhead—he burst into wild laughter.

A crack appeared in the dome of the extradimensional space.

"You think you've got me?!"

Su Lin gritted his teeth, his eyes first conflicted, then turned inward to the Godhead forming into a solid infant—his jaw clenched with a grinding sound, eyes blazing with uncontrollable fury as he screamed:

"Fallen Mother Goddess, Desire Mother Tree, you have already chosen the path of death!"

"Wind Spirit Moon Shadow! Give me some points!"

The world

stopped.

Whether it was the dome slowly cracking above, the swaying branches of the Desire Mother Tree, or the illusory infant forming within the avatar, radiating holiness yet suffused with corruption.

Su Lin could only think with his consciousness; the space before him rippled, revealing a line.

Ding~

A crisp, loud sound appeared beside Su Lin's ear; time resumed flowing, and within his consciousness appeared a countdown.

【Countdown: 3:00】

Ye Fan: "You're not broken, are you? What's this 'adding points'?"

Song Shuhang: "Senior Su is a 'points-adding' protagonist!? He has a personal panel to add points to himself?!"

Before the group could discuss what a 'points-adding' protagonist was, they saw

Boom!!

An invisible shockwave erupted violently from Su Lin, hurling the fleshy tree of the Desire Mother Tree far away; Su Lin instantly teleported before his own Divine Light avatar, one hand piercing through the avatar's chest, ignoring the Fallen Mother Goddess's power as he seized the divine core.

In an instant, the illusory infant let out a wail and vanished without a trace.

Su Lin pulled out the divine core, extracted the lingering sliver of crimson within, and crushed it violently in his hand.

Snap—after a finger click.

Swish-swish-swish-swish-swish—

Golden rain shattered the crimson moon hanging in the sky; the entire space was shredded, countless golden rays plunged into the earth, radiating a chilling sword intent.

Outside

Zhong Li stared in astonishment at tens of thousands of golden great swords converging from all directions, each blade carrying immense spiritual power and a deadly aura.

Those scarlet blood eyes shattered into dust; the barrier cracked like an eggshell, and Su Lin stood atop the still-fading alternate dimension, surrounded by lingering crimson star-cloud mist.

Su Lin closed his eyes and slowly extended his hands upward, sensing the Star Realm, sensing the Spirit Realm, sensing every corner of the planet.

He saw the terrifying giant faces pressed against the planet's barrier, the dark sea coiled on the far side of the moon, and...

the Desire Mother Tree and the Fallen Mother Goddess on the far side of the moon.

Within that utterly filthy and dark power lay a vast, living nest.

Su Lin opened his eyes, and the world began to tremble.

A casual phrase echoed throughout every corner of the world.

"The mortal realm has become filthy again!"
