Chapter 3525: Return
In the palace, as the battle ended, the dark burning debris floating in the air gradually dissipated, and the nearly chaotic space fluctuations calmed down.
Aseya, who only had her upper body left, had been sucked into a space crack. Nine times out of ten, she was selected by Apocalypse Paradise as an Arbiter. It stood to reason that this was an impossible thing to happen.
Aseya was the Savior selected by the world consciousness, and the Zerg battlefield was being notarized by the Tree of the Void. With Aseya's special identity, she shouldn't be recruited by the Paradise faction.
The problem was that the location at this time was not the alien battlefield, but in the Underworld. Fundamentally speaking, the alien battlefield and the Underworld were two native worlds, only connected for various reasons, but the two were still clearly different.
In other words, Aseya was the Savior of the alien battlefield. This identity was useless in the Underworld. It was precisely because of this that Apocalypse Paradise selected the dying Savior in the Underworld.
This was no longer a question of making a huge profit. Arbiters couldn't be recruited at will, but had a concept of "initial strength limitation."
For example, Reed, who was fooled at the beginning, passed the "strength limitation," so he couldn't become an Arbiter. As for Caesar, that was an exception among exceptions. Moreover, using strength or weakness to judge Caesar was not suitable.
Aseya at the moment was clearly severely exceeding the "strength limitation," but she was selected as an Arbiter. It could be seen how profitable this was.
In the palace, after Su Xiao rested for a while, he put the three sealed life-support devices into the storage space. Inside were his severed arms and left lower leg. He would recover after returning to Reincarnation Paradise.
【Prompt: You have killed the Underworld Great Emperor.】
【You have obtained Golden Skill Points ×3.】
【You have obtained 10.2% of the World's Source (because the strong of this world assisted in the battle, this gain is reduced, and the Underworld Great Emperor has severed all "observable" causality with the Underworld after "sealing" the Abyss passage, thereby significantly reducing the speed of Abyss erosion of the Underworld).】
【You have obtained 3219 Soul Coins (because the strong of this world assisted in the battle, this gain is reduced).】
【You have obtained an Abyss Treasure Chest (after opening, there is a probability of obtaining Abyss products).】
【You have obtained Guardian's Proof ×27 (the maximum holding limit of this item is 100, and the overflow quantity will be converted into the war merit of this world).】
【Detecting that you cannot obtain war merit in this world, it has been converted into Tree of the Void reputation.】
【Your Tree of the Void reputation has improved, but it is still far below the average level. The Hunter needs to improve this reputation as much as possible.】
Su Xiao ignored the last two prompts. The rewards for killing the Great Emperor were quite generous. Just the Golden Skill Points alone were 3 points. As for the World's Source, this was something that couldn't be helped.
Su Xiao came to the Great Emperor's corpse. He took out the 【Underworld Emperor Armor Fragment】 obtained earlier. As a world-class item, its effect was only to be able to join the Underworld faction. Clearly, it was hidden, otherwise, there wouldn't be such a piece of data on its attributes:
"Prompt: If you can kill the Underworld Great Emperor and absorb the Underworld Great Emperor's source power through this item, this item will undergo a huge change."
As Su Xiao took out the 【Underworld Emperor Armor Fragment】, he felt a hint of chill transmitted to his fingertips. Not only that, strands of dark green smoke drifted out from the Great Emperor's corpse and rapidly merged into the 【Underworld Emperor Armor Fragment】. The formation was becoming more and more astonishing. To be safe, Su Xiao stepped back a few steps.
Dark green brilliance emerged. Just at this critical moment, an old wooden mask appeared. Scarlet tentacles spread from the inside of the mask, forming a large mouth full of sharp, dense teeth, and bit toward the 【Underworld Emperor Armor Fragment】.
*Boom! *
Su Xiao kicked the Ancient Mask away with a side kick. Such a violent action made his aura chaotic for a moment.
The Ancient Mask, which was kicked against the wall, trembled. The wriggling tentacles showed how unwilling it was.
The Ancient Mask at the moment, after devouring a massive amount of Abyss energy, was about to step into the ranks of "quasi-Daddy-level" items. Although it still had a big gap with the Abyss Jar and the Book of Death, this was already quite good.
If a "Daddy-level" item like the Abyss Jar appeared easily, the Devil Tribe wouldn't have been harmed to that extent.
Even so, one still couldn't underestimate the Ancient Mask by even half a point. This thing had completely broken free from Su Xiao's shackles. Its only weakness now was a small gap in the lower left corner that was easily ignored, a gap smaller than a grain of rice.
The small piece missing from the Ancient Mask was in Su Xiao's hand, and it was precisely because of this that he allowed the Ancient Mask to constantly transform.
The situation now was that it didn't matter what kind of power the Ancient Mask had. If it dared to use these powers against Su Xiao, that was fine. Su Xiao would make that small piece of the Ancient Mask come into contact with the roots of the Overgrowth Frenzy. At that time, let the Ancient Mask and the Overgrowth Frenzy touch each other.
Before, even the Abyss Jar hadn't hammered the Overgrowth Frenzy. Although it couldn't be counted as a defeat, it also suffered a loss.
At the moment, the Ancient Mask had just stepped into the "quasi-Daddy-level," or was on the edge of this level, and hadn't officially stepped in. If it dared to challenge the Overgrowth Frenzy, it would be arranged in minutes.
After Su Xiao held this small piece of the Ancient Mask, he obtained a kind of "causality" that could not be understood. What this specifically was, he himself didn't know.
During the period of holding this small part of the Ancient Mask, he had a kind of "special ability": he could beat the Ancient Mask with his bare hands, just like just now, kicking the Ancient Mask, which was about to step into the "quasi-Daddy-level" ranks, away.
Ignoring the Ancient Mask, Su Xiao grabbed the energy group floating in mid-air that had completely turned dark green. A prompt appeared.
【You have obtained Betrayer's Will.】
【Betrayer's Will】
Origin: Underworld
Quality: World-class
Type: Consumable/Special Item.
Effect: This item contains "World Power," and at the same time possesses "Underworld Energy · Source" and "Betrayer's Will." If this item is used on a high-potential target, the target will have a 21.539% probability of becoming a Child of the World, a 60.62% probability of becoming a Child of the World · Fake, and a 17.841% probability of immediate death.
Warning: After the target becomes a Child of the World, they will inherit the Betrayer's Will and will highly likely carry out betrayal behaviors.
Betrayer's Will: Those who inherit this will will feel unimaginable pleasure when betraying others.
Introduction: This damn traitor.
Seeing the attributes of the item in his hand, Su Xiao was surprised. This was the first time he had obtained such an interesting thing.
【Betrayer's Will】 was actually an enhanced + mutated version of the World Seed, capable of artificially cultivating a Child of the World.
The Child of the World cultivated with 【Betrayer's Will】 was very special. This Child of the World was definitely a double-agent. As long as they betrayed others, they would obtain unimaginable pleasure, and it might even appear that they felt everything was boring, and only this pleasure was what they pursued.
In Su Xiao's view, 【Betrayer's Will】 was very useful. Being betrayed was certainly angry, but if one clearly knew that a certain person would betray, that person was not dangerous. The lethality of betrayal basically lay in the unknown. When everything was known, the inevitable betrayal of a certain person could instead be utilized.
Su Xiao put away 【Betrayer's Will】. After killing the Great Emperor, his existing World's Source reached 126.52%, failing to reach the qualitative change point of 150%.
In the past, there was no opportunity to impact this qualitative change point. This time there was. Su Xiao took out several badges from the storage space, which were:
"Victory Badge: Unique resource for World Contention, 1 Victory Badge can be converted into 1.5%~3% of World's Source in any native world."
"Stronger Badge: After use, 1 Stronger Badge can be converted into 2%~4% of World's Source in any native world, depending on the world tier, world danger, etc."
Su Xiao used all 4 Victory Badges and 7 Stronger Badges.
【You have obtained 7.2% of World's Source.】
【You have obtained 20.3% of World's Source.】
Su Xiao checked the mission list and saw that the World's Source storage at the top had reached 154.02%, feeling quite satisfied. After such a long time, he finally reached over 150% of World's Source once, not in vain for this time of wildly dropping Tree of the Void reputation to develop the Zerg.
"What about the hole above?"
With a cigarette between his fingertips and no blood on his face, Rhein Gold spoke. He was talking about the Abyss passage above.
"I'll handle it."
Su Xiao had a way to close the Abyss passage. He had received a mission in this regard before.
"That's good, I'll go bury him."
Rhein Gold came to the Sun Saint's corpse and carried it on his shoulder. He thought for a while and walked to the Great Emperor's corpse, carrying the Great Emperor on his back with some difficulty. After all, he was seriously injured, so it was inevitable that he was weak.
After Rhein Gold left, Su Xiao took Xiang Bubu Wang and Baja and leaped into the hole in the ceiling.
This was the bottom of the Underworld. As Su Xiao leaped into the black mist, it was pitch black all around, with cold rock layers under his feet, and faint, linear white micro-light in the distance.
"Big... Big Boss, did I perform okay?"
Fairy Lulu, hanging on Su Xiao, spoke. In the fierce battle just now, Fairy Lulu seemed inconspicuous, but she saved Rhein Gold's life several times. Otherwise, standing at the front like that, Rhein Gold would have died long ago.
Not only that, at the last moment, Fairy Lulu also quietly transferred to Su Xiao and secretly healed Su Xiao. The reason why the painting style was like a thief was mainly because she was too scared.
"Where are we going?"
Fairy Lulu landed on Su Xiao's shoulder, shrinking her head and looking around.
Hearing this, Baja had bad water in its stomach. It sighed and said: "To tell you the truth, our battle actually hasn't ended yet. After defeating the Great Emperor, we still have to fight the Smoke Princess to decide the winner."
"Smoke Princess? Is she powerful?"
Fairy Lulu swallowed with a "gulp," and her heart began to panic.
"Ten deaths, no life."
"Hmph~, I don't believe it."
Fairy Lulu's figure flashed, and she had already hung on Xiang Bubu Wang, sitting on the "Beni Miss's exclusive special seat," which was Xiang Bubu Wang's head. Xiang Bubu Wang shook its head for a long time, but couldn't shake Fairy Lulu off. The other party was an elf body.
In the gradually happy chat between Baja and Fairy Lulu, Su Xiao arrived in front of the Abyss passage. The Abyss passage was not completely pitch black, but intertwined with darkness and white light threads, as if foreshadowing the duality of the Abyss, bringing huge gains while also being accompanied by loss of control.
*Clatter~*
Black-red chains appeared behind Su Xiao, climbing onto his crystal right arm. After receiving the buff from Reincarnation Paradise, he pressed one hand toward the Abyss passage.
*Boom! *
A muffled thunder seemed to ring in Su Xiao's ears. In the interweaving of darkness and white light threads, he faintly saw a figure. The upper body of the other party was the same as the human race, while the lower body was tentacles wriggling, spreading, extending, and spreading toward the surroundings.
This was clearly Marven Waltz.
"Leave here quickly."
Marven Waltz's hand reached out.
"Follow me and leave here quickly. You shouldn't have come here."
There was a bit more anxiety in Marven Waltz's eyes.
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak. The expression of Marven Waltz opposite him stiffened, and then, his appearance changed, actually turning into Sha.
"Save... me."
Sha was gradually swallowed by the darkness behind, raising her hand to ask Su Xiao for help. Regarding this point, Su Xiao gave a bad review. If it were really Sha, the first sentence would definitely be: "Save me quickly, damn it, if you don't save me, I'll die."
Su Xiao still didn't speak. He was very surprised at how the Abyss-derived creature stole these people from his memory and disguised the other party so vividly.
In the next second, the appearance of Sha opposite changed, turning into a strong man.
Seeing this person, Su Xiao looked suspicious. Recalling it, he suddenly remembered that this was actually Stan, an enemy from so long ago. His memory of the other party's appearance was not that clear, but the matter of the other party's wife and the Umbrella-less Brother was impressive.
Changing three times in a row, Su Xiao didn't even speak a word, let alone change his expression. The Abyss-derived creature opposite revealed a strange and uncomfortable smile.
"Take away... my... food, I will... find you."
A difficult language was spoken. Although he had never heard it before, Su Xiao did understand it.
Hearing this, many of Su Xiao's doubts were resolved. At the same time, he felt himself being dragged backward by a force, and the darkness in front moved away rapidly.
With a "whoosh," Su Xiao appeared in the palace. The hole in the ceiling was still there, but there was no darkness, instead presenting the dim yellow, decayed sky of the Underworld. The large cracks in the sky represented that the Underworld was about to collapse.
【Prompt: Your main mission completion is as follows:】
1. Those who know the times (Mission content: Steal key intelligence in the Platinum Capital, learn the whereabouts of Owl Furia, and kill her).
Prompt: This mission has been completed.
2. Platinum and Revenge (Mission content: Occupy the Platinum Capital and kill the Underworld Commander · Wuying Solaro).
Prompt: This mission has been completed.
3. Great Emperor's Wrath (Mission content: Kill the Underworld Great Emperor and close the Abyss passage at the bottom of the Underworld).
Prompt: This mission has been completed.
【Your optional main mission has been completed into a multi-choice main mission.】
【You have obtained one Deep Recovery Permission (Ninth-Tier High-Level Permission).】
【You have obtained one Skill Upgrade Chamber free trial permission (once).】
There were two kinds of rewards. The former didn't need to be mentioned. Su Xiao had obtained the latter before. During the world settlement of the Ser Star, he had obtained this reward once, using it to max out the "Technique Sublimation" ability.
The effect of this permission was very simple: one could use the Skill Upgrade Chamber to improve abilities for free once. How much it improved completely depended on whether the individual could bear it. For example, Su Xiao previously used the accumulation of sword skills and his insistence on meditation to max out the "Technique Sublimation" ability.
At the current stage, there were two abilities Su Xiao wanted to improve: "Basic Passive · Spirit Toughness" and "Basic Passive · Awakening." The former corresponded to soul strength, and the latter corresponded to perception.
The improvement cost of Basic Passive · Spirit Toughness was naturally far higher than that of Basic Passive · Awakening. The problem was that this involved bearing capacity.
Soul-type abilities were generally high-tier, not to mention a soul ability with basic characteristics like Spirit Toughness. It was no exaggeration to say that this was the foundation of the soul system. Therefore, Su Xiao suspected that the level cap of this ability was at least Lv. 85, and the level cap might even be Lv. 90.
The current Spirit Toughness was Lv. 50. If the cap was Lv. 90, choosing to max it out, Su Xiao estimated that with his current level of soul practice, it would be a miracle if he didn't die suddenly. Soul power would be so strong that it would lose control on the spot. This was not a problem that high soul strength could solve.
Conversely, in terms of perception, even if Basic Passive · Awakening had only reached Lv. 27 now, if it were maxed out, Su Xiao could still bear it.
Moreover, the improvement of perception strength was very intuitive for the improvement of combat power, especially since Su Xiao was preparing to explore the Dead City in the next world progress. The improvement of perception would significantly improve survivability.
This time, Su Xiao had already decided that after returning to Reincarnation Paradise, he would use the Golden Skill Points in his hand to max out "Basic Passive · Body Soul, Lv. MAX" to Lv. EX, which was the limit level. With this improvement in survivability, plus maxing out the basic perception ability, if he still died in the Dead City, then it was really fate.
Su Xiao exited the Underworld Emperor Palace and walked down the metal spiral staircase he came from. When he reached the first floor of the palace, just as he walked to the entrance of the hall, a familiar aura approached and ran into the hall.
"Meow~"
Beni pounced and hugged him. As an explorer, Beni naturally came here when the Underworld opened. At the moment, she just happened to come to rendezvous.
Beni pounced and hugged Su Xiao's face, then climbed to the top of his head. She looked at Xiang Bubu Wang, and at this moment, Fairy Lulu was sitting on Xiang Bubu Wang's head. In this instant, the air became quiet.
"That, uh, ah! I'm seriously injured, I'll go first."
Baja transformed into a running chicken and ran out of the palace quickly.
"Meow."
Beni leaped down and walked toward Xiang Bubu Wang with elegant steps. The cat eyes seemed to be saying: 'My stupid dog, only I can bully.'
A moment later, Barbados flew in the sky. Xiang Bubu Wang was squatting on the dragon's back, Beni was squatting on Xiang Bubu Wang's head, and the miniature version of Fairy Lulu, only the size of a walnut, was squatting on Beni's head.
Miss Beni naturally wouldn't be petty enough to have a conflict with Fairy Lulu. Doing so just now was mainly because she encountered something that made her angry before. Seeing Xiang Bubu Wang at the moment, she wanted to take the opportunity to "interact," but Xiang Bubu Wang was as steady as an old dog and didn't give her a chance at all, which made Beni even angrier.
After Beni learned that Fairy Lulu was a participant in this final battle, she even shared a portion of the treasures she found this time with the other party.
On the dragon's back, Su Xiao ordered all Zerg units to withdraw and exit the Underworld.
*Rumble! *
A muffled sound came from high in the sky. Su Xiao looked up. In the gray, dim yellow sky, a huge gap had already cracked open, and chaotic dust mist poured in. Wherever these dust mists touched, space collapse phenomena appeared. The Underworld was about to collapse.
When all his Zerg units withdrew from the Underworld, Barbados rushed out of the Underworld Gate and returned to Pandora Star.
Su Xiao stood on the dragon's head. After returning, the air was fresh. He looked at the scene inside the Underworld Gate ahead. The sky of the Underworld was collapsing, the ground was shattering, and the magma under the ground surged up, turning into pillars reaching the sky.
*Thud!!! *
The Heaven-Reaching Palace standing between heaven and earth collapsed with a "boom." This caused a chain reaction. Everything in the Underworld gradually collapsed into dust particles. Finally, a "devouring black hole" appeared in the center, sucking all the dust particles formed by the collapse of the Underworld into it. Finally, like a star explosion, everything turned into nothingness and chaos.
With a "boom," the Underworld Gate ahead dissipated, as if it had never appeared. The scene of the Underworld's collapse made the shock in people's hearts linger for a long time.
Su Xiao looked at the return countdown. He had two more things to do, so he had to hurry.
Returning to the base camp more than ten kilometers away, Su Xiao had just returned when he received emails from Morey, Moon Apostle, and Hao Mei.
The content of the first half was the indignation of being scammed of 5000 Soul Coins, and the painting style of the second half changed drastically. The core meaning was: 'Didn't expect it, right? You destroyed the Underworld, and we were actually counted in too, hahaha...'
Not only text emails, but to reflect their mood, Morey, Moon Apostle, and Hao Mei also recorded their laughter, full of sand-sculpture feeling.
The reason for this situation was that in order to let the Sun faction be notarized by the Tree of the Void, Su Xiao and Caesar operated from the middle and fooled Morey into becoming the "legal representative" of the Sun Holy Nest.
At the moment, attacking the Underworld was Sun Holy Nest VS Underworld. After the Sun Holy Nest won, as the "legal representative," Morey naturally was recorded a big credit by Apocalypse Paradise, and Moon Apostle and Hao Mei, because they were teaming up with Morey, were also counted in.
In other words, the meaning of Morey, Moon Apostle, and Hao Mei was—no, it should be the meaning of Morey and Hao Mei, Moon Apostle was forced to join the whole time, she was the one who feared Su Xiao the most.
The meaning of Morey and Hao Mei was: 'Heard you are about to be promoted to Ninth-Tier. Ninth-Tier absolutely cannot hit Eighth-Tier, so no matter how you jump now, you won't be able to hit us later.'
It could only be said that it was worthy of being the "Skin-Breaking Leg" and "Wine-Hero Sister." What they would do sometimes really depended on their mood. Such a free and follow-your-heart way of living was something many people envied.
Clearly, Morey and Hao Mei ignored a particularly critical problem, which was that their "contribution" this time was so great that after returning to Apocalypse Paradise, the comprehensive evaluation would definitely be very high, which would lead to a sharp rise in the brand level.
Su Xiao closed the email. He walked into the main passage of the Mother Nest and came to Zhila's sleeping nest. Because the war ended, Zhila had already relaxed and was holding a bag of potato chips and reading comics.
Compared to before, the changes in the Mother Nest were great. Not only did the height soar from over 200 meters to over 370 meters, but the footprint was also larger.
The reason for this was that after the final battle, Zhila obtained a total of 11 evolution points. She allocated 8 of them to the Mother Nest, raising the Mother Nest to the limit of this world.
Su Xiao was about to return, and he couldn't use the improvements in other aspects of the Mother Nest for the time being. However, in terms of the Mother Nest's output, it could bring him huge help.
At the moment, the Mother Nest had a notarization characteristic similar to a faction store. Su Xiao opened the exchange list, and a large number of faction store regulations appeared.
The most important one was the quota problem. It was not how much output the Mother Nest had, but how many items would appear in the faction store. Simply put, a cycle was 15 natural days, and the notarization quota for each cycle was limited. Only things notarized by the Tree of the Void could appear in the faction store.
And only this kind of notarized item could be brought out of this world and used in other worlds.
Su Xiao flipped through the exchange list, and the content was as follows:
【Your existing faction reputation: 0 points.】
1. Type II Concentrated Cell Fluid. 【3
Effect: After injection, it can permanently increase 2 points of real stamina, permanently increase 1500 points of health, and 4 points of abnormal status resistance.
Exchange price: 18,000 reputation points.
Inventory quantity: 1 bottle.
2. Plasma Extract.
Effect: After injection, increase 30–50 points of lightning resistance for the next 10 natural days.
Exchange price: 7,950,000 reputation points.
Inventory quantity: 1 bottle.
3. Elite Demon Beast (Embryonic Egg).
Effect: By consuming biological energy crystals, this embryonic egg, which has reached the semi-finished stage, can be cultivated into an adult Elite Demon Beast.
Tip: This embryonic egg can remain fresh for 260 natural days at -2°. If not activated within the time limit, this embryonic egg will necrose.
Exchange price: 8,200 reputation points.
Inventory quantity: 30 eggs.
4. Demon Flame Dragon (Embryonic Egg).
Effect: By consuming biological energy crystals...
Exchange price: 72,000 reputation points.
Inventory quantity: 2 eggs.
5. Titan Beast (Embryonic Egg).
Exchange price: 2,300,000 reputation points.
Inventory quantity: 1 egg.
Su Xiao was very satisfied with these items. Among them, the 【Plasma Extract】 was even surprisingly strong.
Su Xiao had always tempered his lightning resistance through Boundary Lightning. Even so, his lightning resistance was only 172 points. But don't think this lightning resistance is low. When encountering a lightning-type contractor of the same tier, as long as the other party doesn't use a big move, other lightning abilities are basically giving Su Xiao physical therapy.
This shows the gold content of 172 points of lightning resistance, and the 【Plasma Extract】 can increase 30–50 points of lightning resistance. Undoubtedly, this allowed Su Xiao to take a big step forward on the road of mastering Boundary Lightning.
As the saying goes, if resources are not enough, make up for it with lightning resistance. Since there are no resources to develop lightning abilities, but there is a need to use Heaven's Wrath · Thunder Fall and Dragon Rider form, then as long as one is resistant enough to electricity, doesn't that equal mastering Boundary Lightning on a physical level?
A bolt of Boundary Lightning strikes down, hitting Su Xiao and the enemy at the same time. Su Xiao lives, the enemy dies. Who dares to say this isn't a way to master Boundary Lightning?
Or rather, genuine lightning masters are not Su Xiao's opponents. For example, Hao Mei. She can master and use Boundary Lightning without injury, but if they were both struck by lightning, Su Xiao would definitely be the one to survive while Hao Mei couldn't hold on.
Not only is 【Plasma Extract】 very precious, but the embryonic eggs of Elite Demon Beasts, Demon Flame Dragons, and Titan Beasts are also good things.
Placed in this world, 30 Elite Demon Beasts are not worth mentioning, but the problem is, this is an alien battlefield.
If 30 Elite Demon Beasts arrived in a native world that is not a battlefield, they would definitely be a force not to be underestimated. Moreover, these are all elites, that is, elite units. Su Xiao can wear the 【Sun Lord】 title to further improve the combat power of these Elite Demon Beasts.
The Demon Flame Dragon goes without saying. If he wants to face enemies in Dragon Rider state later, he can bring it out.
As for the final Titan Beast, this thing is quite terrifying when it reaches other worlds. This is a war-level unit. Don't look at the fact that there are more than a hundred in this world; in a non-war zone world, one Titan Beast is enough to make a major force feel apprehensive.
Su Xiao has zero reputation points now, but this is not important. He activated the management permission of the faction store. After passing the inspection of the Void Tree, the management permission was activated.
【You have obtained Type II Concentrated Cell Fluid ×1.】
【You have obtained Plasma Extract ×1.】
【You have obtained Elite Demon Beast (Embryonic Egg) ×30.】
【You have obtained Demon Flame Dragon (Embryonic Egg) ×2.】
【You have obtained Titan Beast (Embryonic Egg) ×1.】
Regarding the biological energy crystals needed to cultivate Elite Demon Beasts (Embryonic Eggs), etc., just find other resources to replace them after returning.
After leaving the insect nest, Su Xiao came to the second floor of the wooden building nearby and sat cross-legged to meditate. He didn't let Amu participate in the war before, and now it seems it was the right choice. The battle with the Emperor reached a critical moment, and that old thing, the Priest, really appeared on the first floor of the King Hall.
Fortunately, Amu brought the Cursed Gold Coin that Su Xiao had quietly exchanged with Caesar, which blocked the Priest.
The Priest's style is to never do things to the extreme when it is impossible to kill everyone, so he retreated after only a preliminary battle with Amu.
As for Cain, Yeti, and Luge, those three evaporated into thin air. Not to mention anything else, it was truly surprising that Cain, this guy, didn't die. Caesar's reverse treatment actually cured the other party, which was something no one expected.
This matter also has a drawback, which is that Caesar suddenly became mysteriously confident in his "medical skills," just as he always thought his alchemy level was quite good. Listening to that tone, it was as if he were a world-class famous doctor who had been delayed.
While Su Xiao was meditating daily, a wooden mask suddenly appeared in front of him. It was the Ancient Mask.
Seeing this, Su Xiao took out 【Dark Redemption】. He had obtained this equipment for some time, but it had basically no effect. The summoned Ouroboros Slate was unwilling to assist, so it could only be sent to Caesar to let him repent. Later, due to various reasons, Su Xiao decided to completely abandon the Ouroboros Slate.
In addition to summoning the Ouroboros Slate, 【Dark Redemption】 could also summon the "Sun Disc" and "Dark Mask · Desire for Power."
As long as he could get the "Sun Disc," even if he consumed the 【Dark Redemption】 equipment, it would be worth it.
He had already negotiated with the Ancient Mask before. It would use 【Dark Redemption】 to summon both the "Sun Disc" and the "Dark Mask." The former would belong to Su Xiao, and the latter to the Ancient Mask.
Su Xiao tossed the semi-fluid 【Dark Redemption】. Scarlet tentacles emerged from within the Ancient Mask, wrapping 【Dark Redemption】 inside.
Suddenly, golden light and darkness erupted simultaneously. Within the scarlet tentacles, 【Dark Redemption】 evaporated. This Immortal-grade equipment was scrapped. A compass-sized stone disc and a pitch-black mask appeared.
The Ancient Mask immediately swallowed the Dark Mask, which caused its fluctuation intensity to rise sharply. Just as it was about to take the opportunity to swallow the "Sun Disc," all its scarlet tentacles suddenly froze, because it noticed that Su Xiao was looking at it expressionlessly, with lowered eyelids. Substantial malice spread into the air, and the wooden floor, walls, and ceiling cracked with a snapping sound.
Xiang Bubu Wang, Amu, Bahar, and Benny were almost hugging each other in the corner, and their expressions clearly said: 'They were terrified at the time.'
The Ancient Mask finally compromised. It would never compromise when facing other Tier 8 powerhouses, but Su Xiao was too special to it; he was almost its creator. It was not shameful to be cowardly once in front of its creator.
The Ancient Mask released its scarlet tentacles and even pushed the "Sun Disc" over. It flew over and was grabbed by Su Xiao. Then, the Ancient Mask faded into the air.
【Tip: All your main quests have been completed. You are about to leave this world and return to Samsara Paradise.】
【Transmission starting, destination: Samsara Paradise.】
