Chapter 2008: Being Mobbed by Oneself

"Big brother, I miss my little Qing."

"On the azure stone plaza, He Xianzi sat on the ground, playing with her white long hair, letting out a wistful sigh."

"\"Just wait, they should be fine, just temporarily unable to log into the game. \" Xiao Feng comforted her."

"As a member of the Feng Feng Shi, safety is definitely not an issue; delayed a few days, they will surely return."

"However, she might miss the chance to be the first to climb the second stage of the Origin Secret Realm."

"One person and one bird waited on the mountain for a while."

"When He Xianzi grew bored and turned into a celestial crane, flying about aimlessly, suddenly a system notification sounded!"

"【Region News: Player \"I Pick Up Trash in the Heavens\" from the Evil Realm warzone successfully passed the first stage trial of the Origin Secret Realm, gaining 11 minutes of free treasure-hunting time!】"

"Qian Sha indeed passed the challenge on the mountain path and smoothly arrived at the treasure-hunting segment."

"He was the third squad to clear the stage, the system rewarded 1 minute, making it 11 minutes total."

"At the same time, the region news was sent again."

"【Region News: The number of squads that have cleared the first stage of the Origin Secret Realm has reached three; the seal on the personal challenge of the second stage has been opened; players of the God King Realm who have not yet passed the first stage, please keep striving!】"

"Xiao Feng looked ahead and indeed saw the mountain path leading higher up the mountainside open; the earlier invisible air wall had dissipated."

"\"Silly bird, let's go! \"

"Xiao Feng's interest was instantly aroused; he didn't have time to meet his old friend, directly mounting his steed to charge into the next stage."

"Just as his front foot stepped onto the second mountain segment, spatial vortices appeared around him, and Super Mecha Soldier No. 1 appeared together with two companions."

"They came upon hearing the news, got"

"They came as soon as they heard the news to participate in the challenge, wanting to vie for the second stage's reward."

"Previously, No. 1 had participated in the challenge together with No. 13 and No. 4."

"However, No. 13's attributes were too abnormal, causing the Mist Heart Demon's strength to become overwhelmingly strong and unbeatable, so when they finally cleared the stage, the team became No. 1 together with the lower-attribute No. 2 and No. 12."

"One Death Curse Vulture, one mechanical assassin that can kill a person in five blade strikes; if you don't consider talent, just based on base stats, it's still not as formidable as the Sword Slaying the Multitude."

"The three robots stepped onto the mountain path together and saw Xiao Feng's back."

"The second stage's challenge was still shrouded in mist, limiting visibility."

"However, it was better than the first stage, with visibility around 300 meters."

"\"What is he doing? \""

"\"Is he spacing out? \""

"The three robots saw Xiao Feng and a white-haired woman standing ten meters away, both motionless, and they couldn't help but feel puzzled."

"But they soon understood!"

"Hum~"

"The three robots simultaneously felt the power of laws fluctuating around them."

"Immediately afterward, each of them fell into an illusion."

"……"

"Before Xiao Feng's eyes was a ladder that reached straight to the clouds."

"His strength had returned to normal; the effect that had suppressed him to one ten-thousandth seemed to have disappeared."

"Looking ahead, the ladder slanted upward, its end unseen; at intervals along the way stood a silent figure, as if waiting for him."

"Xiao Feng climbed along the steps, coming before the first figure."

"This figure's appearance was initially indistinct, but as he approached, it gradually took shape: a man wearing a red magic robe, holding a wooden staff, extraordinarily handsome."

"……It was none other than himself!"

"Accu"

"rately speaking, it was his appearance when he first entered the game a long time ago."

"【Xiao Feng's Past Self】"

"Level: 33"

"HP: 5255/5255"

"Note: This is your former self."

"The character's information is simple, exactly the same as when he first left the novice village."

"A level 33 magic apprentice, not yet class-changed, low HP, low attack, fragile as a sheet of paper."

"\"What am I supposed to do? Kill him? \" Xiao Feng couldn't help but wonder."

"The past self also didn't speak, just stood there blankly."

"However, when Xiao Feng tried to go past him and continue forward, he was blocked by a layer of air wall."

"\"Huh, still not letting me pass? \""

"He slightly frowned, subconsciously wanting to get rid of his past self."

"But after a moment's thought……"

"\"Since it's called the 'past self,' could there be some mystery inside? \""

"\"If I directly kill him, will something bad happen? \""

"Thinking this, Xiao Feng withdrew his power and did not attack."

"Instead, he lifted the past self up, trying to push him forward a few steps."

"And it actually worked!"

"The past self was pushed onto a step by him, and the air wall broke."

"He stepped up one step, and another air wall appeared ahead; evidently this wall moves with the past self."

"\"Interesting, could it be that I have to carry my past self all the way to the top? \""

Xiao Feng couldn't help but think.

He grabbed his past self's collar with one hand and began to run wildly up the steps.

His past self was dragged along by him, its legs bumping against the steps, its shoes flying off, yet it showed no reaction, like a puppet.

Not long after, Xiao Feng arrived at the location of the second figure.

That figure still wore a red robe, the staff in its hand

It had transformed into a weather staff, and its level had increased as well.

【Xiao Feng's Past Self】

Level: 59

HP: 9834/9834

Note: This is your former self.

He continued to drag the puppet-like past self, one in each hand, climbing forward.

As he walked, a third figure appeared.

【Xiao Feng's Past Self】

Level: 100

HP: 30269/30694

Note: This is your former self.

"How many past selves are there?"

Xiao Feng began to wonder.

He only had two hands, unable to carry any more.

But he still had willpower and divine origin power, so it wasn't a problem.

With a thought, he directly condensed primordial source qi into a bucket resembling a shovel truck, then lifted the past selves and threw them in, pushing forward.

All the way up, he shoveled people.

Past selves of level 150, level 200, demigod past selves, lesser god past selves...

One after another, their attributes grew stronger, and their equipment became better as well.

The shovel truck's bucket was about to fill up, so he upgraded to a larger model and kept loading.

Before he knew it, he had arrived above the Nine Heavens.

Before him appeared another past self, its level reaching 800, already the realm of a supreme deity!

【Xiao Feng's Past Self】

Level: 800

HP: 248.60 million/248.60 million

Note: This is your former self.

Xiao Feng was about to lift this one and toss it into the bucket.

Unexpectedly, as he reached out, this 800-level past self actually moved!

Xiao Feng's hand was swept aside, and this handsome past self spoke: "Cultivation is like climbing a mountain; carrying so many of your past selves, aren't you tired?"

Xiao Feng decisively replied:

"Not tired, not at all tired, how heavy could this be?"

"Heavy? You think that's all there is to it?" the 800-level past self sneered.

At that moment, all the past selves in the shovel truck's bucket moved!

Swish swish swish!

Figures flew out one after another, hovering in midair, surrounding Xiao Feng.

"Hahaha, we pretended to lose our minds, and he actually believed it!"

"Fragile past selves can't withstand the attacks of our present selves, so we dare not move recklessly."

"Now twelve past selves are here, we can set up the Soul-Seizing Grand Formation!"

From level 33 to level 800, twelve past selves surrounded him in every direction, not even leaving the space above his head untouched.

They emitted strands of silklike energy that interlinked to form a formation, while each also had a strand connecting to Xiao Feng.

At that moment, Xiao Feng felt his power rapidly draining away!

【Battle Info: Your power is affected by the "Soul-Seizing Grand Formation" effect, being evenly distributed with your past selves.】

He opened his attributes and saw that his originally abnormal stats had plummeted to about one-tenth of their original values!

And even the weakest 33-level clone had attributes exactly the same as his!
