Chapter 2511: Tianba

【Transmission is about to begin, Space-Time Power is converting.】

【Countdown begins: 5, 4, 3...】

Seeing the countdown appear before the transmission, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Baja, and Benny were all stunned.

"Awoo~"

"Damn, a countdown again? Just how far is this?"

"Meow."

Bang!

After a strong, dull impact to the back of his head, Su Xiao's vision plunged into darkness. This time, the sensation was exceptionally intense, as if he had been struck by a train traveling at full speed.

A damp, icy sensation came from beneath him. A drop of cold liquid landed on Su Xiao's face, and his eyes snapped open.

The sound of splashing water reached his ears. Su Xiao sat up from a wet rock. A drop of mountain spring water fell, splashing onto the rock.

Su Xiao rubbed the back of his head and looked around. In a small pool not far away, he saw a string of bubbles.

Glug, glug~

A dog's head emerged from the water. Even more miraculously, it didn't stop there; Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's entire body slowly rose upward, and in the end, it was sitting on the surface of the water.

It looked like it was ascending to immortality on the spot, but in reality, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was panicking inside—there was something beneath its butt.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang began to move slowly across the water's surface, and eventually, it was tossed by whatever was underwater onto the rocks by the pool.

"Croak~"

"Woof."

"Croak, croak."

"Woof, woof, woof."

A toad over two meters long began to communicate with Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. Before long, the two guys actually shook hands—or rather, a dog paw and a frog paw—to show friendliness.

"What did it say?"

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang meant that Brother Frog was expressing a welcome. If they wanted to live in this cave, the 'Rock Water' could be shared, but they couldn't stay here forever; this was its territory.

It wasn't strange for a giant toad to have territorial awareness; what was miraculous was that this giant frog actually had a spirit of sharing.

【Entering World: World of Origin】

Location: Muquan Mountain

World Difficulty: Lv. 50–Lv. 68 (Native World).

World Source: 0%

World Introduction: The 'Gods' have 'returned home' and become legends, but the erosion of the Origin has never ceased.

【God Era, Year 306: The ancient 'Spirits' ceased their strife. No one knows when it started, but they began calling themselves Gods. They were once monsters, but after gaining beautiful or majestic bodies, they became 'them.' Or rather, were they truly Gods already?】

【God Era, Year 415: The human kingdoms were in conflict until they attempted to open the ancient forbidden lands, at which point everything changed.】

【God Era, Year 692: The human kingdoms fell apart during long, chaotic wars. The gradual increase in individual strength led to the emergence of powerhouses who dominated regions and established their own factions.】

【God Era, Year 715: Conflicts between major human factions were constant, and technological progress nearly halted until one day, a powerhouse appeared who dared to challenge the ancient Gods. He called himself Tianba. Not long after, an event that shocked the entire continent occurred: the ancient Gods could actually fall, and they were killed by Tianba.】

【God Era, Year 975: Order was stabilized. Two major kingdoms occupied vast territories and formed an alliance, vowing never to invade each other. Although the small countries surrounding the continent were poor, they often fought, but under the restraint of the two major kingdoms, they dared not act recklessly.】

【God Era, Year 1032: The ancient Gods angered two human kings. The two kingdoms launched a decisive battle against the ancient Gods. This was the War of Fallen Gods.】

【God Era, Year 1162: The two kingdoms declined during the war against the ancient Gods but remained behemoths. Although the two kingdoms had declined, the ancient Gods also suffered heavy losses. In the end, they 'returned home,' and the two kingdoms continued to guard this beautiful and resource-rich continent.】

【No one noticed that the erosion of the Origin had become increasingly severe. 'Tianba' had become the name of a race and a title of honor. The Tianba race might become the new ancient Gods.】

【Language of this world mastered.】

【World, start!】

After reviewing the world introduction, Su Xiao fell into deep thought. The history of the World of Origin was complex, involving ancient Gods, Tianba, and the two major kingdoms.

From this information, it seemed the ancient Gods were initially a group of monsters with different appearances. For some unknown reason, they became ancient Gods. Su Xiao felt this should be related to the Origin.

Clearly, the ancient Gods of this world were different from the neutral Gods or Old Gods of other worlds. The Gods of this world had no followers; they established their status through individual strength.

As for Tianba, Su Xiao had seen the Tianba race—humans with blue skin, transformed after normal humans drank the Water of Origin.

The Tianba race's 'Qin' and 'Ni' abilities were a nightmare for tank-type adventurers. If an adventure team entered the World of Origin, they would be beaten into confusion in minutes.

The Tianba race Su Xiao saw back then was eroded by the small piece of 【Origin】 he had obtained, and that was only from soaking the 【Origin】 in water.

After letting people who had undergone rigorous training drink this Water of Origin, they would become the Tianba race. Now it seemed the term 'Tianba' had a deeper meaning.

The Origin in this world was much larger. If Su Xiao guessed correctly, the 【Origin】 in this world was over 200 times larger than the one in his hand. One could imagine how formidable the Tianba race here was.

The ancient Gods once ruled this world, enjoying abundant resources. At that time, the various countries on the continent were in chaotic wars and could not resist the ancient Gods at all.

In the end, these countries went too far, leading the world into an era where the strong were respected. But this era didn't last long before the two major kingdoms rose.

The two major kingdoms were much more reliable. This was the power that erupted after people had been oppressed for too long and united. The powerhouses within the two kingdoms were countless. Taking the original God-slayer, Tianba, as their role model, they launched a total offensive against the ancient Gods.

The result was that the two kingdoms won—that is, humanity won. Although the two kingdoms were half-crippled, they didn't fail the people's expectations and nearly slaughtered the ancient Gods to extinction.

Based on Su Xiao's experience, these two kingdoms wouldn't have obvious power struggles for the time being. The two kings of this generation both took guarding humanity as their duty. However, after the two kings died, power struggles should emerge quickly. Humanity was special in this way: they were exceptionally united when facing external enemies, producing many heroes, but once the external enemies were gone, they began infighting.

【Main Mission: Water of Origin (First Ring)】

Difficulty Level: Lv. 66

Mission Information: Obtain the Water of Origin in this world and soak the 【Origin】 in it, allowing it to resonate with the 【Origin】 in this world.

Mission Deadline: 15 days.

Mission Reward: 3 True Attribute Points.

Mission Penalty: Forced execution.

Seeing this main mission, Su Xiao couldn't help but frown. Clues were almost non-existent. This only meant two things: either there were mission clues in the surrounding area, or the mission clues would find him themselves, since he was currently holding a small piece of 【Origin】.

Su Xiao could feel that the 【Origin】 tucked in his chest was emitting a very subtle fluctuation. This fluctuation was very obscure, but since entering this world, he had discovered that this thing could no longer be stored in his storage space. ===== CHAPTER 2512 =====
