Chapter 2155
Su Xiao had just returned to the Samsara Paradise when he received a large number of prompts.
【Prompt: The Hunter has successfully received the Contractor·Xi's DNA tissue (hair).】
【The Hunter is about to enter a semi-open native world.】
【The world belongs to: Samsara Paradise, Dawn Paradise, Death Paradise.】
【It has been verified that the Hunter will participate in the Power Struggle in the near future, and the rewards of this world have been increased by an additional 10%.】
【This world will have dual main quests.】
【Main Quest 1: Destroy the Death Paradise's 'Spacetime Nexus Device' located within this world.】
【Prompt: Due to the Death Paradise's 'Spacetime Nexus Device' being extremely hidden within this world, resulting in limited information, this task will be issued in a guided format, and the Hunter must find clues independently based on the task guidance.】
【Main Quest 2: Kill the Unnumbered Contractor/Transcendent·Xi.】
……
Su Xiao had already anticipated the content of Main Quest 2; this task appears to be merely killing Xi, but actually has another purpose: to draw out the existence behind Xi, of course, this is only Su Xiao's speculation.
As for Main Quest 1, it is quite interesting: destroying the Death Paradise's 'Spacetime Nexus Device' located within a certain semi-open native world.
A semi-open native world is easy to understand: it is a native world jointly owned by several paradises, and the world Su Xiao is about to enter is one shared by the three paradises.
Samsara Paradise, Dawn Paradise, Death Paradise—this combination could not be more wonderful; Dawn Paradise excels at developing resources, while the contractors of Samsara Paradise and Death Paradise are famously strong.
If Samsara Paradise and Death Paradise were not fighting over Dawn Paradise's resources, Su Xiao would absolutely not believe it; the current situation is that there is only one cake (Dawn Paradise), and who gets to enjoy it exclusively (Samsara Paradise/Death Paradise) depends on which side destroys the other's 'Spacetime Nexus Device' first, that thing being similar to a temporary world core.
【The Hunter will enter the semi-open native world in 10 minutes; the Hunter needs to prepare.】
Su Xiao paid no attention to this prompt; before returning to the real world, he had already prepared the consumables needed for the next world.
Idle, Su Xiao entered the natural house in his exclusive room; upon entering the natural house, he discovered the black maple tree had become more lush and verdant; obviously, the irrigation of the 【Natural Spring】 benefited the black maple tree's growth.
Ten minutes passed in an instant; the final transmission prompt appeared; Su Xiao, Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang, Am, Bahar, and Bennie were standing together.
The transmission sensation surged.
Bang!
Su Xiao's vision went black, and he lost consciousness.
After an unknown period, a damp and cold sensation came over him.
Dong dong dong……
A hard object struck the iron bars; Su Xiao opened his eyes and sat up from a metal bed.
"You're out of prison, someone paid gold pounds to reduce your sentence."
An impatient voice reached Su Xiao's ears; he touched the back of his head, which ached faintly after the transmission; this prison-start experience was already familiar to him, and he sometimes even suspected it was due to his low charm attribute.
Su Xiao's gaze swept around; this was a single cell built of stone, somewhat damp and cold, with a crude wooden toilet emitting a pungent urine odor, and further ahead were iron bars.
The metal forging craftsmanship is the most direct manifestation of the technological level of this world.
Rust stains covered the iron bars, forming a net-like pattern; the cross-connection points of the iron bars were inlaid with rivets, not mechanically stamped, but hammered flat one by one and riveted.
This clearly has nothing to do with advanced technology, but neither is it too backward; judging this, it is because the guard had already drawn his flintlock from his waist, aiming the dark muzzle at Su Xiao……
Similarly observing the environment, Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang's dog face twisted in embarrassment; his small eyes clearly said: "You have this thing, why didn't you take it out earlier, making me and my master still observe the environment."
"What are you looking for! Behave yourself!"
The prison guard in gray clothes, holding a flintlock, fully embodied the meaning of "stern outwardly, weak within."
Su Xiao stepped toward the cell exit, with Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang following closely behind.
"Stop, I suspect you……"
The prison guard shouted loudly; he was used to being overbearing.
"Where is your guarantor?"
Upon hearing Su Xiao's words, the prison guard's face stiffened, his expression suddenly becoming somewhat embarrassed; he had taken money, but he had just forgotten, or perhaps upon seeing Su Xiao, he instinctively felt danger.
"This way."
The prison guard slipped his flintlock back to his waist; to ease the awkward atmosphere, he jogged a few steps up the stairs and pushed open an iron door.
"After getting out of prison, change your profession; in the Selah Empire, killing is a serious crime, and in the Northern Alliance, you would be directly sentenced to death."
Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang: "???"
Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang was a bit dazed; although he did not know what world he was in, the Selah Empire's unexpected 'reasonableness'—that killing, such a serious crime, could still be paid off with money—surprised him.
After all, this place is clearly a civilized nation, not like Helu's barefaced law of the jungle.
When Su Xiao reached the prison gate, a woman in a low-cut dress, with a charming demeanor, quickly stepped forward to meet him.
"Mr. Bai Ye, I've been waiting for you; I am Sewei, one of our own."
Sewei's words "one of our own" were heavily emphasized; Su Xiao judged that she was a contractor of Samsara Paradise.
After walking out of the prison gate, passing through a tree-lined stone road covered with fallen leaves on both sides, Su Xiao entered a district.
Buildings of varying heights lined the street; some were stone piles, some were log structures, most were single or double-story, with few three-story buildings.
Some sections of the street had their stone slabs trampled over, exposing mud pits; pedestrians detoured around them; a brown horse stepped into a mud pit, flinging up large amounts of muddy water; pedestrians nearby angrily shouted; the person on horseback lowered his round cap, his expression grim.
"Mr. Bai Ye, welcome to the Abyss World, a world where the strong are as numerous as dogs."
Sewei gazed at Su Xiao with a smiling expression; Su Xiao then looked up at the sky, judging whether there were ancient gods in this world; if so, he would kill them along the way; otherwise, as a Destroyer of Laws, the other side would not let him go.
The weather was very clear; due to no pollution, the blue sky and white clouds were exceptionally bright; there should be no ancient gods.
"Bring the things over."
"No wonder you came to seize the world; you figured it out without me saying anything; this thing belongs to you."
Sewei flipped her palm, revealing a badge inlaid with a green gemstone in her hand.
As soon as Su Xiao took the badge, Sewei quickly walked into a narrow alley; her main quest's final stage was completed.

World Introduction:
【Abyssal World, this is a world abandoned by the gods.】
【In the Holy Era 102, friendly low-ranking gods once guarded this world, they established nations, this is the Nation of Gods.】
【The low-ranking gods knew they were not strong enough, so they united and shared the knowledge they possessed with mortals, allowing mortals to farm, likewise establish nations, build walls, to resist the abyssal monsters that could attack at any time.】
【In Holy Era 227, the Human Alliance repelled those monsters from the abyss, though casualties were heavy, but the low-ranking gods froze the abyss, letting the monsters inside be forever suppressed beneath the ice, this campaign was named the Holy War.】
【In Holy Era 260, the low-ranking gods disbanded the Nation of Gods, they scattered, residing in various places across the world, enjoying peaceful happiness, although they were called gods, in reality they likewise longed for peace, at the core, they were merely powerful higher beings.】
【In Holy Era 759, several hundred years have passed, the once Holy War has faded into legend, even some question its authenticity, and more conspiracy theories claim the Holy War was merely fabricated by the gods to enjoy people's offerings.】
【In Holy Era 1055, murmuring sounds came from within the ice layer beneath the abyss, a team of young explorers heard this sound, they 'knew' the secret of this world, it turned out, the gods had always been 'deceiving' them.】
【In Holy Era 1056, under the temptation of the abyss, the first God-Eater appeared, she beheaded a god, and what surprised her was that she actually obtained the god's power.】
【The same year, this news spread across the world, killing gods to seize their power, this news spread like a plague, sometimes, the abyss is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is people's greed in their hearts.】
【God-Hunting Era·57 Year, low-ranking gods were subjected to mass slaughter, God-Eaters ruled this world, where there is rule there is oppression, where there is oppression there is resistance, the only way to resist God-Eaters is likewise to slaughter gods to obtain godly power, to resist the rulers.】
【God-Hunting Era·187 Year, the last low-ranking god was driven to desperation, his name was Denny, who wielded the power of death, in his dying moments, he prayed to a certain existence in the void, he wanted to curse, to curse all God-Eaters in this world, to curse them to never die, to forever live in greed, so that they would only harm their kin, lest they become white-fools who only know to worship gods, kneel and confess to gods, and the prayer of the low-ranking god Denny, the powerful existence in the void granted it.】
【The same year, all God-Eaters were cursed, they became undead, undead is not fortune, although they are undead, their life energy gradually drifts from within their bodies, because this is life, they are death, the two are incompatible, when their life force has completely drifted away, they will become white-fools, forever kneeling on the ground, repenting to those dead gods, wanting to maintain consciousness, the only way is to consume their kin's life force, and drinking their kin's blood, consuming the life force within the blood, is the fastest and most effective method of suppression.】
【The same year, the undead discovered, they are not truly immortal in the true sense, merely will not die naturally, their existence is the gods' revenge, making them continually harm their kin until all kin are dead, or they themselves die, bit by bit decaying, turning to ashes in death.】
【Sela Era 108, the undead relied on force to establish a new empire, named the Sela Empire, and the undead called themselves the Holy Descendants.】
【Sela Era 1180, the war between the Sela Empire and the Northern Alliance continues unabated, people seem to have forgotten the existence of the Holy Descendants, however, the Holy Descendants have always existed, these undead hold high positions and power, sitting on the throne, the crimson wine in the cup is brewed from their kin's life force.】
【But, the Holy Descendants likewise overlooked the existence of the abyss, it is precisely the abyss that led to all of this.】
【World, begin!】
PS: (Today only two updates, just opened a new world, dear readers please understand, previously readers said if they update before 12 o'clock for a month they would reward the alliance leader, the mosquito looked at the current time, really wanted to slap himself hard, the alliance leader is gone~)
