Chapter 2181: The Person Who Is the Beginning

Eastern Continent, White Spring Wetland.

Mud splashed. A giant war pig ran on the swampy ground. Looking down from above, one could find a wooden hut tied to the giant war pig's back.

The giant war pig kicked its hind legs while running, and the wooden chair tied to its back slid directly under its belly, which made the war pig run faster and kick its legs more diligently.

"Woo-hoo, woof!"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's barking came from the small wooden hut, and the giant war pig stopped.

With a *bang*, one side of the small wooden hut was kicked open, and Su Xiao's hand reached out, grabbing the edge of the wooden board.

After Su Xiao walked out of the wooden hut, he shook his head and squatted on the ground for a few seconds before recovering.

"Amu, beat it to death."

Hearing this, Amu rushed in front of the giant war pig and gave it a good beating.

"Ugh~"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's abdomen twitched. The bad idea of tying a wooden hut to the giant war pig's back was its idea, and the wooden hut was also tied by it. The experience was okay at first, but who knew that the giant war pig would start to frolic while running.

Su Xiao took out the map from his arms, checked it, and determined that the distance to the Abyss was not far.

In the last two days, the giant war pig's gaze had gradually become "friendly." Taming it with food was useless, but the effect of beating it to death was actually not bad.

At least until now, the giant war pig no longer tried to escape, which was enough.

After resting for a while, Su Xiao continued to advance. There were no twists and turns along the way. At noon on the fourth day, Su Xiao saw black fog rising in the distance.

This black fog blocked the sky and the sun, even blocking the clouds and sunlight above, making the sky gray.

After moving forward for about half a kilometer, the ground was replaced by hard black rocks, and after moving forward for another two kilometers, the land came to an abrupt end.

The continent seemed to break off here. Ahead was a bottomless cliff, and opposite the cliff was black fog rising upward. This was the Abyss.

Su Xiao took the 【Devourer】 sniper rifle from the storage space, loaded a flare, chambered it, leveled the muzzle, and pulled the trigger.

*Bang! *

The flare shot into the black fog, and the strong light it emitted was instantly swallowed. Seeing this, Su Xiao took out a horizontal measurement device and began to observe the flare's flight trajectory.

The flare flew forward in a parabolic arc for about 5 kilometers before starting to fall. When it fell more than 2400 meters, it lost signal.

The Abyss was not a pitch-black canyon; it was quite large below. As for whether there was land on the other side of the Abyss, it was temporarily unknown.

"Should I try?"

Baha looked at the black fog ahead.

"You can."

The Boundary-Breaking Line probed from Su Xiao's cuff and wrapped around Baha's leg. Baha spread its wings and flew into the black fog ahead.

*Sizzle~*

The line wheel rotated rapidly. Soon, Su Xiao found that the line wheel stopped rotating, and the entire Boundary-Breaking Line began to shift downward. Baha was falling.

Seeing this, Su Xiao immediately tightened the Boundary-Breaking Line, and a resistance appeared for a moment before disappearing.

Baha soon flew out of the black fog, with no abnormalities.

"What happened just now? I didn't encounter any abnormal situation."

Baha landed on Amu's shoulder.

"You were flying downward."

"Eh? How is that possible? I'm not Xiang Bubu."

"Woof! (Old Ba, your whole family is flying downward)"

"Lost sense of direction."

Su Xiao looked at the Abyss below. The black fog drifted, bottomless.

"Detect the situation nearby. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, you and Amu are responsible for the right side, Baha, you are responsible for the left side."

Su Xiao waited for nearly two hours, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang returned, there was no end on its side. After three hours, Baha also returned.

"Found a crazy old woman, but don't know if it's the 'Person who is the Beginning of Everything'."

Getting this news, Su Xiao decided to go and see. According to the quest hint, the "Person who is the Beginning of Everything" was at the bottom of the Abyss, or near the Abyss. In this ghost place, ordinary people wouldn't come.

When Su Xiao arrived at the place Baha mentioned, he saw a ragged old woman kneeling on the edge of the cliff, hands clasped together, bowing forward again and again, while muttering to herself.

After getting closer, Su Xiao heard what the old woman was whispering.

"Slaughtering deities will eventually bring disaster. You can't escape, can't escape..."

The old woman repeated this sentence over and over. After getting closer, Su Xiao judged that this was a Holy Descendant. Her vitality had dissipated, and she had become an idiot who only knew how to repent to the deities.

Su Xiao took out Ye Geer's heart and threw it beside the crazy old woman, but the other party still knelt there, muttering to herself.

Seeing this, Su Xiao stepped forward, picked up the heart on the ground, and made a gesture to throw the heart into the Abyss.

"Son of the Ancient Dragon, ah~ the heart of the Ancient Dragon descendant, what kind of delicious thing that would be."

The old woman's right arm twisted unconsciously, then reached toward Su Xiao. Su Xiao's hand loosened, and Ye Geer's heart fell into the old woman's hand.

As soon as the heart fell into the old woman's hand, she held the heart in front of her and swallowed it in large mouthfuls.

"Good... eat, Ancient Dragon descendant... heart."

The old woman said vaguely. At most five mouthfuls, she ate the heart in her hand, and those unfocused pupils recovered a trace of luster.

"Young man, are you seeking the power of deities? If you want it, then it's yours."

Just as the old woman finished speaking, Su Xiao received a hint.

【Hint: The Hunter accepts/does not accept Yiweier's power inheritance. After accepting this power, unpredictable situations will occur (because the Hunter has already inherited the Shadow of the Law-Breaker).】

"Not needed."

"Oh~ is that so? Then you... want to fight me?"

A smile appeared on the old woman's face, and her withered cheeks gradually recovered. It looked like if she were allowed to absorb more vitality, she could recover to her youthful appearance.

"If you talk nonsense again, I'll kick you off from here, the first God-Eater in history, Yiweier."

"..."

The old woman, that is, Yiweier, was dazed for a moment, and then her body began to tremble.

"Yiweier, Yiweier, Yiweier..."

The old woman grabbed her hair and pulled it down, handful by handful. A moment later, she recovered her calm.

"Young man, where are you going?"

The old woman still knelt there, staring blankly at the Abyss below.

"God's Gift Hall."

"That place? It's down below."

"Specific location."

"It's down below, it will guide you to the location."

The old woman pierced three fingers into her eye socket, dug out one of her eyeballs, and crushed it.

A white energy surged, condensing into a light orb, floating in front of Su Xiao.

"Kill, kill them all. This is my most insignificant regret."

The old woman continued to kneel and repent. She wasn't forced to do this because her vitality had completely dissipated, but out of her own subjective wish.

Su Xiao basically deduced who this old woman was. According to the world introduction, he learned that initially, an explorer was bewitched by the Abyss and thus killed a deity. And the explorer mentioned in the hint was referred to as "she," which meant that the explorer was female.

And in the quest hint, this old woman was called the "Person who is the Beginning of Everything." The two could easily be linked together.

Yiweier, the first God-Eater in history, the longest-living Holy Descendant to date, and also a Holy Descendant Hunter. According to the records of the Sera Empire, Yiweier had slaughtered at least tens of thousands of Holy Descendants.

With the strength of Yiweier's aura, she shouldn't have ended up in such a state. Even if the five Holy Descendant dukes were added together, they wouldn't be enough for Yiweier to chop with one scythe. Her Life Scythe was a scythe that took vitality. When dealing with Holy Descendants, as long as she slashed them with one scythe, they would be killed instantly, no matter how strong the Holy Descendant was.

Yiweier slaughtered the most deities and also slaughtered the most Holy Descendants, but she knelt here to repent, repenting to those perished deities.

According to Su Xiao's deduction, Yiweier should be very regretful of her act of killing deities, so she chose to kneel here.

Su Xiao no longer paid attention to Yiweier. He took out a ground nail nearly five meters long from the storage space and pierced it into the rock layer beneath his feet.

Soon, the giant war pig was tied up, and a steel cable was wrapped around its neck. Su Xiao also covered its body surface with a crystal layer to strengthen the war pig's defense.

*Clatter... *

The winch turned, and the giant war pig was lowered into the Abyss in a hanging position, as cannon fodder... no, it should be a vanguard, to scout the way to the bottom of the Abyss. ===== CHAPTER 2182 =====
