Chapter 2556: Return

When Su Xiao arrived at the foot of the Melting Mountain, the mountain behind him collapsed completely, falling into the abyss, and the roar of cattle could still be faintly heard.

Before long, Baha flew over dragging Amu, landing at the edge of the abyss.

Su Xiao took the Soul of Drowning from his storage space and used it immediately.

【You have used the Soul of Drowning.】

【You have obtained 10% World Source, now totaling 155.15%.】

【World Source has reached 150%. If an S+ rating is achieved during the settlement of this world, the Hunter will obtain a World-class Treasure Chest.】

【Hint: World-class Treasure Chest is a special grade, obtainable only through specific means.】

Su Xiao previously thought that as long as World Source reached 150%, he could obtain a World-class Treasure Chest. Now it seems that is not the case; a comprehensive S+ rating is also required.

Su Xiao looked at the 【Source】 in his hand. As long as he handled this thing well, the S+ rating would be secure. As for the life of the First King, Edri Dewen, he would not wantonly judge another person's life. He met the First King at the top of the Melting Mountain, fought a battle, and won narrowly. The First King was very strong, and that was all.

The only thing that left a deep impression on Su Xiao was the First King's greatsword; those slashes were truly difficult to resist, and even now his right arm is still aching, likely swollen by a layer.

"You won?"

Liu ran over from a distance, followed by the Giant King walking with long strides. Perhaps due to excitement, Liu suddenly tripped on flat ground. The Giant King behind her stumbled a step to avoid stepping on her.

"Nonsense. If we had lost, we would have been chopped into pancakes. But your flat-ground tripping is quite impressive."

Although Baha was severely injured, he still had the energy to talk nonsense. It must be said that when dealing with Baha, one must strike his mouth first; it is the most effective means of attack.

"Liu."

Baha suddenly became serious.

"What is it?"

Liu looked at Baha in confusion.

"Open your mouth."

"Huh?"

Liu was very surprised, but after hesitating for a moment, she opened her mouth.

"Seems about right."

Baha scrutinized her.

"Woof (It's risky)."

"Should be... okay."

Su Xiao tossed the 【Source】 in his hand toward Liu. Assuming someone could truly become the second Source Guardian, he couldn't think of anyone other than Liu. Ted, the current King of Tarlin, wasn't qualified; he only inherited the royal blood, while Liu was the seed.

"I... swallow this?"

Liu looked at the 【Source】 in her hand, the smile on her face frozen.

"Young lady, your comprehension is quite good. The heavy burden of guarding this world is handed to you."

"Uh~"

Liu seemed to have broken down a bit. Compared to guarding the world, she was more concerned about whether she could swallow this walnut-sized crystal.

Half a minute later, Liu tilted her head back, her eyes already rolling back.

Gulp~

Liu successfully swallowed the 【Source】. She was almost the person closest to the First King's bloodline. If she couldn't do it, no one could.

"Liu, how do you feel? Is there any feeling of power surging out?"

Baha's gaze was 'concerned'. He often 'teased' Liu; if her power skyrocketed, he would consider retreating first.

"As for how I feel..."

Liu's eyes narrowed, a fiery red glow appearing in them, and her hair slowly floated up.

"I feel... choked. It's stuck right here."

Liu pointed above her abdomen. Hearing this, the corner of Baha's mouth twitched.

Bang~

Su Xiao gave her a slap, and Liu felt smooth, but she still didn't feel much. This wasn't a bad thing; it showed she could indeed inherit the 【Source】.

Su Xiao couldn't take the fire-attribute 【Source】 away, but the water-attribute 【Source】 could be taken. It was already his property. As for what to use it for, he hadn't thought of it yet.

Everything Su Xiao needed to do was finished, and there was no need to stay any longer. He took Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha and walked toward the distant wilderness.

Liu did not follow. She sat by the abyss, behind her was the Giant King who was so tired he had fallen asleep sitting down.

If other Qiyuezhe entered the Source World in the near future, it would be fine if they explored outside. The strongest boss they would encounter would be Ted, who was burning his royal blood, or the burning death-attribute royal blood.

But if any Qiyuezhe tried every means to enter the Source·God's Village, wanting to come to Source·God's Village to reap a huge benefit.

Then congratulations to these Seventh Tier Qiyuezhe, they would encounter the Seventh Tier big boss, Daughter of Source·Liu, and the Eighth Tier big boss, the Giant King. It could be said that this place, God's Village, was no longer something Seventh Tier Qiyuezhe could explore. As for the stronger Eighth Tier, even if they entered the Source World, they would be restricted and ultimately beaten into doubting their lives by the two big bosses of God's Village.

If anyone still refused to accept this and used some high-intensity dangerous items to deal with God's Village, the blind old man would find them and let them know whose territory this world really was.

【Transmission complete.】

【The Hunter has returned to the exclusive room, starting to settle world rewards.】

Native World: Source World

World Difficulty: Lv. 50–Lv. 68

World Source: 155.15%

Number of tasks completed: 3 (Main quest x2, Hidden quest x1)

Comprehensive evaluation: S+

Starting to collect World Source...

World Source collection complete, starting to calculate rewards.

Rewards obtained: 36 True Attribute Points (already including those obtained within the world), 173,000 Paradise Coins, World-class Treasure Chest x1.

Real Power·Plunder ability activated, you will obtain 1–3 Golden Skill Points.

Hint: You obtained 3 Golden Skill Points.

Comprehensive evaluation is S+, Hunter's current level is Lv. 63, Hunter level +7 (Native world tier x number of tasks completed + comprehensive evaluation - task completion time).

Hint: During Seventh Tier world settlement, the upper limit for a single increase in brand level is Lv. 3, Hunter level has been increased to Lv. 66.

Hint: The un-upgraded brand level has been converted into authority rewards, your authority level has been increased by Lv. 4.

Settlement complete, rewards have been deposited into the Hunter's brand.

In the exclusive room, Su Xiao was sitting on a plush carpet. Seeing the last few lines of the world settlement, he was very relieved. If the brand level had really increased by Lv. 7, it would have been a huge joke, and he would have been promoted directly to the Eighth Tier in the next world.

Su Xiao knew what his weakness was: his brand level was increasing too fast. Although this brought more resources, it was not without drawbacks.

Once he reached the Eighth Tier in the next world, his physical attributes would become his greatest weakness. At that time, he might find any Eighth Tier Qiyuezhe whose single attribute was higher than his.

Su Xiao exchanged 10 Soul Coins for Paradise Coins and, after opening the life-support device, chose to recover his injuries.

The severed arm and leg inside the life-support device floated up, and the temperature of the blood at the wounds hadn't even dropped. This was the benefit of putting them into the life-support device.

The broken muscles at the wounds floated up. Following the recovery function of Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao soon felt his left arm, then his left lower leg. The first to recover was the nervous system, followed by bones, muscles, skin, etc.

After a full hour, Su Xiao's injuries finally recovered. He moved his left arm, and it was no different from before.

Including the recovery of Baha and Amu's injuries, it cost a total of 1.67 million Paradise Coins. This was normal; as his body became more powerful, the cost of recovering from injuries became higher and higher.

Su Xiao didn't count the items obtained this time or go to improve his physical attributes for the time being. He was waiting for the prompt from Reincarnation Paradise. Last time, when he left the Sand Emperor world, he had found the World Core of that world.

Due to the characteristics of the Sand Emperor world, a World Conquest War would not occur there, but a Resource Conquest War. The participating parties were: Reincarnation Paradise, Apocalypse Paradise, Holy Light Paradise, and Death Paradise.

As long as they won, Su Xiao could get a share, but unfortunately, he couldn't participate in this Resource Conquest War.

Calculating the time, the Resource Conquest War over there should have ended. At this moment, Su Xiao hadn't received a reward notification for his share, which likely meant that the Reincarnation Paradise side had lost in this Resource Conquest War. ===== CHAPTER 2557 =====
