Chapter 2676: Prince Rupert's Drop

Clearly, this world is undergoing a massive transformation. After the transcendence characteristic is lifted, other Qiyuezhe can obtain World Source, and they can join any faction.

What Su Xiao cares about is the World Contact Platform, as he is currently disguising himself with a Hegemon-level template, allowing him to draft a temporary identity within the platform.

Due to the Void Tree's notarization mechanism, regardless of what Soul has done in the past, the Void Tree will not judge him as an enemy. The reason why Hunters, Battle Angels, and others have died in this world is that they perished during resource acquisition. Moreover, concepts of good and evil are meaningless to the Void Tree; the notarization mechanism is simply like this. As long as it does not cause destruction to the rule system, the Void Tree will not interfere.

Even if Su Xiao were to summon the Demon Zerg here, the Void Tree would not stop him, nor would there be any punishment. This is not a Trial World, nor is it a world belonging to the Void Tree; the Void Tree is merely here to notarize. After marking Su Xiao as a "World-class Dangerous Unit," it didn't mention a single word about punishment.

Su Xiao will not summon the Zerg to this world. The reason is simple: they cannot develop here. This world's compatibility does not match the Zerg. Dark Demons are mystical creatures, unlike the Tiger Bee Tribe, which is a biological evolution type.

A single Tiger Bee Tribe member can provide a massive amount of biological energy. If the Zerg Nest were to devour Dark Demons, it would only obtain a quantity of dark-characteristic energy and would not be able to produce combat Zerg. If Jila were to be brought here, that would be a huge joke.

Su Xiao cannot go and develop a faction. He lacks the eloquence, and he doesn't have the charisma to make others bow down without granting them any favors. In his view, no one is stupid; why would they risk their lives for a few small favors? When he led the Beast Cavalry, it was still by relying on power. Without an identity within that power system, Su Xiao believes that absolutely no Beast Cavalry would listen to him.

Therefore, the Zerg is Su Xiao's guarantee for being able to carry out human-sea tactics.

"Has the faction been clarified yet?"

Su Xiao took out two injection guns, injected one into Baha and one into Balder, and then sat on the sofa.

Once the faction is clarified, the Qiyuezhe in this world will receive Main Quests. That's right, previously, including Morey, those who entered this world did not have Main Quests, but they could trigger a large number of Side Quests, Achievement Quests, etc., and the rewards for these quests were all very high.

After Qiyuezhe enter this world, if they fail to join the Watcher Guild, they will also frequently receive Side Quests, all of which are quests to collect resources, which is also the reason they entered this world.

Su Xiao suspects that the reason this world has the Dark Prison is because of that Ancient God.

Just after entering the Dark Prison, Su Xiao felt that it was somewhat familiar. The gloomy sky, the withered yellow earth, the bitter fresh water—no matter how you look at it, it was caused by the world being "sucked" by the Ancient God.

Originally, the Dark Prison should have been a certain place in this world. When that Ancient God first descended, its state was very weak, so it "sucked" that area without restraint.

Under normal circumstances, that area would have turned into something similar to the Wizard World, but the three Ancient Gods of the Wizard World "sucked" the world with restraint. This Ancient God, however, did not. When it first descended, it was on the verge of death, and its frantic "sucking" caused that large area to wither.

Such a withered area would naturally be repelled, so this world split off a part of itself, which formed the Dark Prison. The Dark Prison and this world were originally one, which is why the two can fuse with each other.

As for the Dark Demons and Ghosts, they are extraordinary intelligent ethnic groups that evolved in the Dark Prison. They should have a relationship with the Ancient God, but the relationship is not significant; they will not be influenced by the Ancient God's consciousness, nor will they be controlled by the Ancient God.

But there is one point: the Dark Demons and Ghosts are, in some aspects, derived from the Ancient God. Precisely because of this, that Ancient God was able to resurrect with the help of Hao Gui's body.

This is like raising a Gu. In a harsh environment, the Dark Demons kill and devour each other, and the strongest individual that eventually emerges is the hope for that Ancient God's resurrection.

Su Xiao speculates this way not without reason; the Watcher Guild's name for the strongest tier of hunters represents many things.

God Hunter—no one in this world believes in gods, there are no legends of various gods among the people, and a God Cult does not exist. Taken literally, only those who slaughter gods would be called God Hunters.

The Watcher Guild did indeed do this. The first batch of the strongest hunters went deep into the Dark Prison. At that time, the Ancient God in the Dark Prison should have been very weak, or perhaps it hoped to be annihilated just like that, waiting for the day of resurrection. It was already half-dead at the time, and to recover, it had to be annihilated.

Among Ancient Gods, annihilation does not mean destruction, but rebirth and resurrection after death.

The hunters of the Watcher Guild successfully slaughtered the god. From then on, the hunters of the strongest tier were called God Hunters.

Clearly, the Watcher Guild is not professional in god-slaying. If Su Xiao had been present at the time, the Ancient God in the Dark Prison would have been thoroughly chilled to the core.

Feed the Ancient God's origin energy to God's Judgment, convert the god's bones into items, and strip the soul into soul memories to ensure the Ancient God dies thoroughly.

But the problem right now is that this Ancient God possesses the World Core. Never mind fighting it, he cannot even detect the opponent's basic data. Fortunately, when the opponent had just been resurrected earlier, it was unable to move; otherwise, leaving the Dark Prison would have been difficult. Su Xiao cannot defeat an enemy with invincible defense and an extremely powerful true form. He cannot break through his combat limits on the spot, nor will he fight that Ancient God right now.

Su Xiao does not believe that there is a completely unsolvable defense in this world, especially when relying on a World Core. Except in lies, nothing is perfect.

More crucially, this Ancient God used Hao Gui and Hyena Fox·Yas as mediums for its resurrection. Although both have been completely devoured, their bodies and souls have become the nutrients for the Ancient God to construct its body.

Judging by this, the rewards for killing this Ancient God will be shockingly high, and the gains are worth risking his life for.

【Prompt: You have accepted a new Main Quest: Annihilation of Resurrection.】

【Main Quest: Annihilation of Resurrection.】

Difficulty Level: lv. 71 (Quest difficulty will increase as time passes)

Quest Information: This quest is divided into the following three parts.

1. Destroy the Gate of the Dark Prison (Incomplete)

Prompt: The location of the Gate of the Dark Prison is known to the high-level members of the Watcher Guild. After destroying the Gate of the Dark Prison, you can open the passage to the deepest part of the Dark Prison.

2. Temporarily break the defense "Array Boundary" generated by the World Core (Incomplete).

Prompt: The "Array Boundary" has an extremely fragile sub-structure. After destroying the sub-structure, the "Array Boundary" will shatter simultaneously. Destroying the sub-structure requires the cooperation of the Son of the World of this world; otherwise, you will be repelled by this world.

Prompt: The sub-structure of the "Array Boundary" is located in the deepest part of the Dark Prison.

Prompt: The "Array Boundary" itself must maintain a distance of at least 10 kilometers from the sub-structure. The two have a head-to-tail relationship. If they are too close, the "Array Boundary" will shatter immediately.

3. Kill the Ancient God of this world (Incomplete).

Prompt: The Ancient God in this world is extremely powerful, and its combat power is continuously recovering.

Quest Deadline: 12 natural days.

Quest Reward: Awakening Stone (Due to the special circumstances of the quest, this is a reward issued after checking the Hunter's personal information. If the Awakening Stone is used on the Law-Extinguishing Shadow ability, this ability will be thoroughly awakened. The Law-Extinguishing Shadow only has three abilities that can be awakened, and the Hunter has already mastered two).

Warning: Before the designated ability is awakened, the Hunter must ensure that their ** is strong enough; otherwise, there is a high probability of death due to the ability awakening.

Quest Penalty: Forced Execution

There is quite a bit of quest information. Destroying the Gate of the Dark Prison represents a simple meaning: opening the passage to the deepest part of the Dark Prison.

As for the "Array Boundary" formed by the World Core, Su Xiao feels that this thing is very similar to Prince Rupert's Drop.

Prince Rupert's Drop is made of glass. Even if you hit its top with a bullet, the bullet will shatter, but the top of the Prince Rupert's Drop will not be damaged.

Conversely, if you break the thin tail of the Prince Rupert's Drop with your bare hands, the entire Prince Rupert's Drop will explode. The structure of the "Array Boundary" is very similar to Prince Rupert's Drop.

The "Array Boundary" main body is the large head of the Prince Rupert's Drop. With its protection, the Ancient God is invincible, but if the sub-structure is destroyed, the "Array Boundary" will collapse instantly.

There is a difficulty in destroying the sub-structure. The "Array Boundary" is derived from the World Core, and so is the sub-structure. Destroying this thing is equivalent to being an enemy of the world. Only the Son of the World can destroy this thing without being repelled.

What Su Xiao needs to do is to fight the Ancient God to the death after the "Array Boundary" is successfully destroyed. As long as the enemy is not invincible, he is not afraid at all even in a one-on-one fight. At most, he will just be defeated. If he were afraid of this, he wouldn't have his current strength.

The first step Su Xiao needs to take is to go to the Watcher Guild headquarters. There is one thing he is very curious about: who exactly is the Son of the World of this world. ===== CHAPTER 2677 =====
