Chapter 2549

Water mist swirled over the Moonlight Lake, and a towering giant tree grew in the center of the lake, its roots deeply embedded in the architectural debris, growing on this basis.

This was the Moon Tree. Who exactly cultivated this Moon Tree, Su Xiao didn't know. This kind of tree had a unique ability: it would absorb the water-characteristic source power and then grow wildly.

Before entering the God Village, Su Xiao had obtained several 【Withered Moon Tree Seeds】. That was in the underground secret passage of the Bamboo Village, where someone had tried to cultivate a Moon Tree but failed. Who exactly was trying to cultivate the Moon Tree was a secret the clan leader didn't say until his death.

Not staying too long at the Moonlight Lake, Su Xiao walked along the valley toward the abyss. He had to find the blind old man first, use Ba Souls to exchange for rare items, and then decide what to do next: take a risk, or be satisfied with the current gains and return to the Reincarnation Paradise after completing the main quest.

No accidents happened along the way. The Heavenly Palace had been blown away by Su Xiao, and the two Taba leaders had died in their own ways. It could be said that the second half of the Source God Village was basically safe.

After a while, Su Xiao arrived near the abyss. Just as he reached the bridgehead of the suspension bridge, he found a figure kneeling in front of the suspension bridge, hands clasped together against her forehead, eyes closed in prayer.

The person praying at the bridgehead was a woman. She wore a black robe and a black soft cloth hood on her head. Her skin was very white, and her lips were as red as blood. This woman kneeling there gave people a feeling of being both beautiful and solemn.

"I will not allow you to take another step forward."

The woman opened her eyes and tilted her head to look at Su Xiao. Those were eyes as black as to be soul-stirring.

"You are very strong, but we will stop you."

The woman stood up from the ground, and the wild wind surging from the abyss blew her long clothes. From just now, the sky of the God Village had darkened, and dark clouds were gathering.

Thud!

A loud noise came from below the abyss. The black-eyed woman's expression was somewhat angry, her gaze turning toward below the abyss.

"That ugly beast eroded by the dragon heart."

The black-eyed woman leaped into the abyss. She had originally wanted to come and stop Su Xiao from doing something, but something seemed to have happened below the abyss, and she could only return there.

"Yaha, you want to run after pretending to be cool? I..."

Baha just wanted to pursue, but was stopped by Su Xiao. Now was not the time.

This unnamed woman left a few words and then left. One of her sentences made Su Xiao very concerned, which was 'we will stop you', indicating that the woman was not alone.

After passing through the nearly two-kilometer-long suspension bridge, Su Xiao returned to the wilderness where the small wooden house was located. Muffled thunder sounded in the sky, and dark clouds were gathering.

Half an hour later, Su Xiao arrived in front of the wooden house where the blind old man was. The paulownia tree beside the wooden house was blown until it rustled.

Pushing open the wooden door with a creak, the blind old man, covered with a piece of tattered cloth, sat on a wooden chair, his pale eyes narrowed, as if thinking about something.

"Oh? You're back. How many Ba Souls did you bring back..."

As soon as the blind old man's words fell, Su Xiao threw a large cloth bag in front of him. The cloth bag spread out, and the Ba Souls inside were piled into a heap.

"You killed... all the Taba who were good at fighting?"

"Probably."

"It seems I have to change places. The royal capital of Tower Forest is not bad. It is said that there is royal blood there."

The blind old man pulled out a small shelf from the wall beside him, meaning Su Xiao could take whatever he wanted.

Su Xiao now had a full 1243 Ba Souls. He had almost blown the God Village apart to obtain this number of Ba Souls. Now it was time for the harvest.

【You have obtained Secret Technique · Heavenly Flow (Blade Mastery technique).】

【You have obtained Archery Mastery Scroll lv. 1.】

【You have obtained God Bone (Holy Spirit-level) x5.】

【You have obtained Spirit Energy Condensate x11.】

After paying 875 Ba Souls, a large pile of items was in hand, with 368 Ba Souls remaining. Su Xiao checked the remaining items. Although they were all good, he felt somewhat at a loss for exchanging these items with Ba Souls.

Ba Souls could be used to strengthen equipment, with the highest strengthening level being +8. As long as it was strengthened to +8, the strengthened equipment would have source characteristics.

Su Xiao decided to keep the remaining 368 Ba Souls. Once he left this world with the water-characteristic Source, this world would no longer produce Ba Souls, which meant Ba Souls would become 'out-of-print' rare items.

"My other products are also very good."

"Not needed."

"Is that so? Then I have to find a way to leave."

The blind old man's body gradually turned into light mist, disappearing together with the wooden chair he was sitting on.

"Finally, tell you a secret: friendship with giants is very important."

The blind old man's voice dissipated, leaving only an empty wooden house.

Sitting cross-legged in the wooden house, Su Xiao began to organize the benefits obtained in this world. The quantity of various items was not small.

First was the Soul Coins, a full 6014. Seeing this huge sum, even Su Xiao couldn't help but show a trace of a smile on his face.

Besides Soul Coins, there were four treasure chests: one Epic-level, two Holy Spirit-level, and finally a set treasure chest, Edri · King Set (8/8).

Excluding the rare items just obtained, the items were not many, namely 【Withered Moon Tree Seeds x5】, 【Wolf Soul Stone (Holy Spirit-level · Full Rating Gemstone)】, 【God Bone (Epic-level) x1】, 【Qin Soul + Ni Soul】.

All the above resources, plus 4 real attribute points, were all the resources Su Xiao obtained before the world settlement.

He was hesitating whether to uncover the last secret of this world. If this world was compared to a painting covered in dust, there was still a small piece of dust, which was the very center of this painting.

When this piece of dust was wiped away, the full picture of the Source World would be presented before Su Xiao's eyes. This was the prerequisite for obtaining the s+ reward, just like in the Ghost World, understanding all the secrets of that world and participating in them.

High risk, high return. Although that was said, there was another saying: as long as you die here, you lose everything. The efforts from Tier 1 to Tier 7 would vanish with the loss of life.

Thinking of these, Su Xiao decided... to wipe away the last 'dust' on the 'canvas'. He could have his current strength not because of talent or anything else, but entirely because of his deep exploration of the world.

Before this, he had to upgrade 【God's Judgment】 to Holy Spirit-level. Su Xiao took off the God's Judgment ring on his hand, took out two 【Spirit Energy Condensates】, and touched them together.

Po~

The shell of the 【Spirit Energy Condensate】 cracked, and a large amount of spirit energy merged into the God's Judgment ring. It was completed in an instant, and pitch-black brilliance surged from the God's Judgment ring, forming a battle sickle made of black mist.

Inside a certain world.

In the gray sky, dark clouds were layered on top of each other, and only a slit in the center revealed sunlight. The sunlight, which was originally very common, was called a gift here.

This was Meteorite Star, a huge world, a Transcendent · Native World. Here, the sky was gray and black, the earth was withered and yellow, and the turbid water source had a bitter taste that was hard to swallow.

If the Wizard World was invaded by ancient gods, then Meteorite Star was in the palm of the ancient gods.

To live here, the first thing to do was to believe in the ancient gods. The way of belief was very 'simple': pull out one of your own ribs and offer this rib to a certain ancient god, and you could become a believer, struggling to survive in Meteorite Star.

Inside a palace towering into the dark clouds, the flesh-and-blood throne dozens of meters high at the very inside stood majestically. Darkness gathered here, making it impossible for people to see the figure on the flesh-and-blood throne. Only the Underworld God was qualified to sit here.

"Sickle."

A sound that was hard to understand came. Just hearing this sound was enough to make living beings go crazy, their bodies undergo mutations, and their souls twist.
