Chapter 3551
Watching Caesar walk out of the back hall, Su Xiao didn't intend to go and see the scene when he traded with Dragon God Dean, although that should be very exciting.
Regarding Dragon God Dean, Su Xiao always maintained a stance of avoiding head-on combat with the other party as much as possible. The reason was that the other party was too rich, and their strength could not be underestimated.
Last time when clashing with Dragon God Dean, the "Scarlet Finger" the other party used was highly likely a killing move of some Origin-grade equipment. The threat of that move was too great, and besides, no one could be sure whether Dragon God Dean had any Origin-grade one-time props.
The power of that thing generally exceeded equipment of the same level by a notch. After all, the former could only be used once.
What was more important was that Su Xiao always felt that Dragon God Dean's combat style was a bit strange. Specifically where it was strange, he couldn't think of it for a while.
In a word, just arrange it slowly. Judging from the current situation, the other party was already half-buried.
Not considering this matter for now, Su Xiao opened the title list to check 【Natural Resonance】, which had already been upgraded to six stars.
Originally, Su Xiao intended to upgrade this title to seven stars, but when refining it to six stars, he found that this title had reached its limit. After querying with Hunter permissions, he learned that this title had been refined three times.
Su Xiao recalled that when he exchanged for this title in the Sand Emperor world, it seemed to have been refined once directly. However, that time was mainly refining 【War Lord】, and fighting against the Dwarf Kingdom all day long, to the point of darkness.
Although the upper limit of 【Natural Resonance】 was six stars, Su Xiao felt that this title was enough for him to use for a long time.
【Natural Resonance】
Origin: Flame Spirit Star
Quality: ★★★★★★
Category: Title · Rare
Title effect 1: Significantly improve meditation effects, and at the same time as meditation, bring about a permanent increase in willpower (the increase range depends on meditation efficiency).
Introduction: Peace in the heart, the world is right before your eyes.
Selling price: Cannot be sold
In terms of normal meditation efficiency, the bonus of 【Natural Resonance】 could only be considered okay. It required a long time of meditation to increase 1 point of willpower.
But with Su Xiao's powerful meditation efficiency, this seemingly average gain became intuitive when it reached him, so much so that 【Natural Resonance】, this six-star title, exerted an effect not inferior to an eight-star auxiliary title.
Checking the existing Ancient Coins, there were still 6957 left. Su Xiao estimated that there was basically no possibility of exchanging for an eight-star title in the Title Shop this time. Tomorrow he was going to Dead Silence City. By then, he wouldn't have the energy to fish for Ancient Coins, so it was better to consume early.
The contractors who dared to enter the Dark Continent this time were relatively powerful, which also led to their attention being placed on a few seven-star titles and eight-star titles. However, the Title Shop hadn't opened to that stage yet, so they could only save Ancient Coins first.
This also led to the fact that there were still 9 six-star titles left in the Title Shop right now. Seeing this, Su Xiao bought all 9 six-star titles at the price of 940 Ancient Coins.
After not thinking about eight-star titles, Ancient Coins suddenly became abundant. Counting the 5 six-star titles purchased before, there were a total of 14 six-star titles in the title list, used for refining titles in the future.
For the few seven-star titles in the Title Shop that remained in a gray, unpurchasable state, Su Xiao estimated that their value was between 500 and 6000 Ancient Coins. That's right, the price difference between seven-star titles was just that large. It was like in the past, the seven-star title 【Uncrowned King】 couldn't be compared with the seven-star 【War Lord】.
Closing the title list, Su Xiao took off the God Judgment Ring from his index finger. After killing the Sin God, this ring had a new ability.

Price: Cannot be sold.
The newly appeared Sin Fire had a somewhat vague description, but this was not important. Su Xiao generally didn't include this kind of ability, which wasn't stable and would be forcibly replaced in the future, into his combat planning. Triggering it was good, but it didn't matter if it wasn't triggered.
Or rather, Su Xiao didn't generally trust this kind of ability that relied on luck and probability to trigger. The specific reason, let's not mention it.
Before long, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang returned. Xiang Bubu had already gone to find out clearly that although the Great Sage Turz had family, he wasn't close to them. To be precise, the Great Sage Turz had lived for hundreds of years and was the ancestor of these current family members.
The Great Sage Turz had been at the Stigma Academy all year round and hadn't seen these relatives for decades. The relationship between the two sides was naturally not close. Those relatives only knew that they had a particularly big backer, and even if they did nothing, they would be worry-free. But they couldn't cause trouble or provoke others for no reason. Apart from these, they knew almost nothing about the Great Sage.
It could be said that the Great Sage was a reclusive old guy. His dozen or so confidants were all taken by him this time and died in the battle with the Sin God.
"Woof."
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang carried back a red wooden box, which contained the Great Sage's ashes, or rather, residues. The Great Sage's bones had already been burned by the Sin Fire until not even ashes remained, only residues.
Carrying the Great Sage's spirit box, Su Xiao passed through layers of church knight checkpoints in the underground passage and reached the 11th floor of the Cathedral by elevator.
Walking in the corridor on the 11th floor, names were engraved on the metal doors on both sides. When he reached the end of the corridor, Su Xiao found a metal door without a name. Several blue marks flashed and disappeared, and a few words appeared on the door: Great Sage Turz.
Opening the door and placing the spirit box behind the stone platform, Su Xiao locked the metal door.
Going upstairs on the stairs at the end of the corridor, the furnishings on the 12th floor were still the same. In the center was the stone statue of the God of Eternity, and five wide stone chairs leaning against the wall stood tall. The Archbishop sat on one of the stone chairs, and the Holy Priest sat on the stone chair next to him.
"She is asleep. Whether she can wake up, no one knows."
The Archbishop spoke, his voice hoarse, revealing exhaustion.
Su Xiao's gaze turned to the Holy Priest. The Holy Priest, sitting there covered with a blanket, hung her head. Seeing this scene, he placed the two bottles of strong liquor he was holding in his hand on the ground.
"Turz is dead."
Su Xiao spoke, his tone flat.
"Oh."
The Archbishop just responded, his gaze without half a ripple. He had lived too long and had long since looked past life and death. Regarding Turz's death, he didn't feel sad, but rather had half a bit of envy. If possible, he didn't want eternal life from the beginning, but he had no choice.
"Have the remains been handled?"
"Hmm, put in the lower level."
"You put... Turz's remains in the lower level?"
The Archbishop suddenly laughed. He hadn't laughed like this for several hundred, or even a thousand years.
"You placed Turz, who hated the Chosen Ones the most, among a group of Chosen Ones."
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak. Thinking carefully, it really was just like that.
"So, you defeated the Sin God and opened the entrance to Dead Silence City?"
Because of the few laughs just now, the Archbishop was even more exhausted at this time, and he had no strength to speak.
"Yes."
"Since you have already opened the door, they will not stop me from telling you some things. Stopping is meaningless. After the Chosen One opens the door, they will wait for you to enter Dead Silence City, then find you and kill you."
The Archbishop slowly raised his hand, signaling Su Xiao to take off the Black King Armguard. After taking the Black King Armguard, the Archbishop opened the mechanism of the stone chair's armrest, took out a black crystal from inside, and said:
"This is the origin, one of the reasons for the spread of Dead Silence. A thousand years ago, the knights of the Healing Church called it 'Source Stone'..."
The Archbishop slowly told the secret buried deep by the Healing Church. According to him, one of the reasons for the spread of Dead Silence power was the existence of a huge "Origin." The huge "Origin" produced Dead Silence power, and only then could Dead Silence power spread. Otherwise, Dead Silence power would only be water without a source and wouldn't have harmed the Dark Continent like this.
At the end of the God Era, the Dead Silence Disaster broke out. To fight this disaster, the Healing Church gathered all its power and sealed the "Origin" within the Supreme Sanctuary.
The Sanctuary Key obtained by Su Xiao in the second ring of the mission was used to open the Supreme Sanctuary.
Simply sealing the "Origin" was not the way to solve the problem. Helplessly, the high-level members of the Healing Church at that time joined forces to "cut" a small piece from the huge origin. This small piece condensed into a crystal, which was the Source Stone the Archbishop spoke of.
Even so, the power of the "Initial Source Stone" was still too strong. What was more critical was that to prevent the huge "Origin" within the Supreme Sanctuary from absorbing this "Source Stone," one must find a container for this "Source Stone." Otherwise, at most a few years, this "Source Stone" cut from the huge "Origin" would be gradually absorbed back.
At that time, the Healing Church tried every method, even taking this "Source Stone" to the ends of the earth, far away from Dead Silence City, but it would still be slowly absorbed by the huge origin within the Dead Silence City · Supreme Sanctuary.
Until the first Chosen One attempted to swallow this "Source Stone" into his abdomen, using himself as a container. This first Chosen One only lived for a few seconds.
The first Chosen One verified four things:
1. After a living being swallows/absorbs the "Source Stone," it can prevent the "Source Stone" from being absorbed by the huge "Origin" within Dead Silence City.
2. After swallowing/absorbing the "Source Stone," one can obtain extraordinary power.
3. After the one who swallows/absorbs the "Source Stone" dies, the "Source Stone" will automatically detach from their corpse.
4. The current "Source Stone," which is the "Initial Source Stone," is still too big. Whoever swallows it dies.
After reaching this conclusion, the Healing Church divided the "Initial Source Stone" into five pieces. One of them was the one the Archbishop took out.
According to the Archbishop, the remaining four "Source Stones" were all within Dead Silence City, possessed by four powerhouses within Dead Silence City.
The Archbishop's meaning didn't need to be stated. Defeat these four and seize the "Source Stones" they possessed.
The reason for doing this also involved Su Xiao's Black King Armguard. This was his proof as a "Chosen One." This was not just a symbol, but had practical significance.
After Su Xiao obtained the "Source Stone," he could absorb this "Source Stone" through his "proof," which was the Black King Armguard, letting this power called origin sink into the Black King Armguard.
When the Black King Armguard absorbed enough origin, Su Xiao could go to the Supreme Sanctuary. Otherwise, just after opening the door, he would die from the erosion of the huge origin within the sanctuary. Facing the origin, Shelter Stones were useless.
Only by letting the Black King Armguard absorb enough origin power could Su Xiao walk into the Supreme Sanctuary and make a choice. As for what specific choice, the Archbishop didn't say, only saying that when the time came, how to choose was entirely up to Su Xiao himself. He wouldn't interfere or persuade at all.
There was also another piece of information. To be precise, the Healing Church wasn't founded by the Archbishop. The Healing Church was founded at the end of the God Era. After sealing the huge origin in the Supreme Sanctuary and completing the division of the Source Stones, the Healing Church at that time existed in name only.
After the Healing Church perished, the outbreak of Dead Silence power went out of control, which led to the end of the God Era and the entry into the Disaster Era.
After the Disaster Era, it was the establishment of High Wall City and the re-establishment of the Healing Church. This time, it was led by the Archbishop.
The Archbishop entrusted Su Xiao with two things. After entering the Origin: Dead Silence City, the first thing was to find one of the four powerhouses who possessed the Source Stones, which was to find the "Holy Song Troupe."
Killing the Holy Song Troupe to get that "Source Stone" was one of the goals, and the other was to see if the Moonlight Maidservant captured by the Holy Song Troupe was still there.
The Moonlight Maidservant was an important legacy left by the Healing Church. If the Moonlight Maidservant was destroyed, Su Xiao's path to Dead Silence City would be even more difficult.
In the Archbishop's own words, if Su Xiao found the Moonlight Maidservant, he could let her hide in a safe location. Afterwards, as long as Su Xiao wasn't dead and returned to the vicinity of the Moonlight Maidservant, no matter how heavy his injuries were, the Moonlight Maidservant could help him rescue him.
Although Su Xiao could help others with surgical treatment, in the case of his own severe injuries, once it exceeded the limit of the Shadow Thread's suturing, he could only resist hard.
In layman's terms, the Moonlight Maidservant was the top healer artificially created by the Healing Church. What was more important was that because the Moonlight Maidservant had absolutely no combat ability, her healing ability had very likely broken through the upper limit of this world. As long as there was still a breath, she could save him back. The sequelae left behind could be recovered after returning to Reincarnation Paradise.
Besides the Moonlight Maidservant, the Archbishop also entrusted Su Xiao to find the Crow Doctor if possible.
Hearing the title Crow Doctor, Su Xiao instinctively felt that this was an enemy. Previously in the branch · Dead Silence City, he had experienced the strength of the Crow Doctors.
The good news was that the Crow Doctors within the Origin: Dead Silence City were neutral. If you were injured or sick and looked for them, that was looking for death. But if you were eroded by Dead Silence power and could still survive for a period of time, go to the Crow Doctor immediately, and there would be a rescue.
According to the Archbishop, as long as it was someone being eroded by Dead Silence power, in the eyes of the Crow Doctor, they were patients and would be treated with all their might.
Even if Su Xiao had Shelter Stones, within the Origin: Dead Silence City, being eroded by a certain amount of Dead Silence power was an unavoidable thing. The Archbishop, who had been a Chosen One, had a lot of experience in this point.
Speaking to this point, the Archbishop was already so exhausted that he could barely open his eyes. It could be seen that he couldn't live for too long. If it weren't for the appearance of a Chosen One, he wanted to see the final result, he actually wouldn't have been able to hold on until now.
The Holy Priest sleeping on the side was in a similar situation. She was just waiting for a result. After this result came, whether it was good or bad, she would sleep forever.
Half an hour later, Su Xiao walked out of the main entrance of the Cathedral. He was just about to let Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang go drive, when a car drifted and stopped with a screech, only 10 centimeters away from throwing the car body at him.
This was an open-top steam car. Ms. Smoke sat in the driver's seat, holding a black lady's cigarette between her fingers, and said: "Get in the car, take you to a place."
Ms. Smoke was clearly an old driver. After wandering around the Middle City District, she arrived at a slum near the West City District and finally stopped in front of a hotel.
Su Xiao let Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang stay outside to prevent Ms. Smoke from doing any tricks, although this possibility was very low, but one had to guard against others.
Going to the second floor of the hotel with Ms. Smoke, he walked into a room that was old and had a mixture of moldy smell, foot odor, sweat smell, fishy smell, etc.
The bed cabinets in this room were moved away, leaving only a wooden table in the middle, with a seat in front and behind the wooden table.
The surrounding walls were wet and covered with a layer of thick, greasy moss. It looked like this place had suffered some kind of mutation.
"Speak."
Su Xiao pressed his hand on the hilt of the blade. Seeing this, Ms. Smoke said: "You should thank me. An hour ago, your subordinate Xiushi was kidnapped. The other party demanded that I bring you here to talk. If it were in the past, I would have directly killed the people over there, but it concerns the life and death of your subordinate, so I didn't make a move. However, I have had people check the surroundings."
Ms. Smoke walked outside the door, clearly preparing to watch the fun in the corridor.
Su Xiao sat down. He was very confused at this time. The person who prepared this matter was really... hard to describe. After advancing to the third tier or above, he rarely encountered such straightforward enemies.
Just then, deep blue surged on the seat opposite, and a voice appeared. It was completely transparent blue, and its skin had a layer of film, looking very bright. This creature was humanoid, with a large head, and the position of its face was a pile of eyes.
This was actually half of the Alien Messenger who escaped at the Wadi Manor before. Coming to find Su Xiao right now, it was clearly prepared to ask for the 【Slippery Biological Tissue Ball】 that Su Xiao obtained.
【Slippery Biological Tissue Ball (1/2): This item can be sold, or returned to the Alien Messenger. If this item reaches its complete form, it can be opened as a treasure chest item.】
Su Xiao was unclear about how the original Alien Messenger was. After being killed by half, it was clearly very unintelligent.
"Return it to me, otherwise, kill..."
The Alien Messenger expressed its meaning with a wavelength that was almost spiritual pollution.
Slash!
The Dark Blade short knife in Su Xiao's hand cut off half of the Alien Messenger's head with one slash. This kidnapper from the alien world died on the spot.
【You have killed the Alien Messenger (1/2).】
【You have obtained 5.3% of the World's Origin.】
【You have obtained Slippery Biological Tissue Ball (1/2).】
This kind of good thing where one actively sends their head, Su Xiao encountered for the first time. His luck had been good recently.
Su Xiao took out a blade-wiping cloth from the storage space. After wiping the mucus on the Dark Blade, he threw the cloth on the corpse of the Alien Messenger. He never talked nonsense with this kind of enemy. One slash to kill, and afterwards, let Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang track the other party's scent and aura, following the vine to find Xiushi.
Five minutes later, in the cellar of an abandoned residential house, Su Xiao carried out the unconscious Xiushi.
This little rabbit cub was previously frightened by the battle between Su Xiao, the Great Sage, and others against the Sin God. He suddenly realized the beauty and preciousness of life, as well as the many joys in life. So after this little rabbit cub returned today, he took advantage of the holiday to go to the Pleasure House to experience exciting programs. As a result, before his pants were even taken off, he was kidnapped by the Alien Messenger.
When Su Xiao returned to the Treatment Institute headquarters, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon. After eating lunch, he started his daily meditation.
Su Xiao didn't participate in the sale of semi-finished 【Shelter Stones】, but from noon, there was a wail on the World Contact Platform. Quite a few people entered Dead Silence City.
The encounter of a certain old brother could be said to be a representative among them. After this old brother bought the semi-finished 【Shelter Stone】, he entered Dead Silence City immediately. In his impression, high-risk areas like Dead Silence City, although dangerous, also had high returns.
The result was that as soon as this old brother entered, he encountered a Dead Citizen on the small square near the entrance. This naturally didn't need to be said. He made a move immediately. However, as soon as he made a move, that Dead Citizen roared, and a large area of Dead Citizens or more powerful monsters around were alarmed and all gathered over.
What was even more outrageous was that Dead Citizens were not mindless monsters. After hearing that roar, several Dead Citizens actually blocked near the exit.
The unlucky brother who ran over wildly, after witnessing this scene, was so shocked that he even shed a few drops of urine. It was also fortunate that his speed was amazing. He ran wildly all the way and escaped to the monastery where the Dark Stream Worms gathered. Right now, this old brother was full of attached worms, and under the guard of several attached worm ascetics, he was moving worm eggs, as well as asking for help online on the World Contact Platform.
Of course, there were also those who were unconvinced and chose to fight with multiple Dead Citizens. It was said that that old brother left very peacefully. Heaven knows why those Dead Citizens in tattered clothes, holding dirty long knives or axes, were so powerful.
What made everyone even more autistic was that these Dead Citizens were exceptionally persistent. As long as they were seen by them, they would chase to death, and during the period, they would attract more Dead Citizens through roaring, extremely hating the living entering their territory.
The Dead Citizens carried out one sentence: Dead Silence City is their territory, the living do not enter.
Facing the hospitality of the Dead Citizens, the contractors gradually realized the severity of the matter. This time, the dangerous area was clearly different from the past. As long as one entered Dead Silence City, even the buildings could be disguised by monsters. Once approached, they revealed their fangs and swallowed the visitor in one bite.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Su Xiao closed the World Contact Platform, ignored the contractors who all put on painful masks inside, and went to sleep.
At 7 o'clock the next morning, Su Xiao, who had already washed up, only felt refreshed. He was already in his peak state. It was time to enter Dead Silence City.
In the office, Wood and Sin Yas both came to meet. As the Space Ghost Gate opened, the group arrived in the temple.
There were no contractors in the temple. Su Xiao looked at Gulu beside him and said: "Shelter Stone."
Gulu took out three Shelter Stones. This was enough. She wasn't going to explore Dead Silence City throughout, especially after witnessing the whole night yesterday, how many painful masks the contractors put on the World Contact Platform.
Su Xiao arrived in front of the pair of wooden doors leading to the Origin: Dead Silence City. At this time, this heavy wooden door was covered with blood, and there were quite a few bloodstains on the ground, extending to half of the temple.
Su Xiao pushed on each wooden door with both hands. Accompanied by a roaring sound, the Dead Silence Door slowly opened.
