Chapter 3663: Entry

The cabin door of the world-class spaceship closed and locked. With the appearance of weightlessness, the spaceship began long-distance spatial travel.

After the initial few minutes of bumping, after the spaceship entered the spatial travel stage, the safety buckle on Su Xiao's body loosened and retracted into the cabin wall behind him. Bubu Wang, who was "hanging" on the side, was able to escape. It had been bored and played with this safety buckle before the spaceship started, and who knew this thing would suddenly tighten.

"You say, is it too late for me to apply to get off the ship now?"

Saintess Seat opened her mouth as if muttering to herself. Once upon a time, she had the temperament of a neighbor's big sister and was a leader-level figure of the Saint Light Paradise side in the Tier 8 world contest.

But now, Saintess Seat often doubted life. Those eyes that were equally beautiful but often lost their highlight gave her a bit of melancholy temperament, as if expressing at all times: 'Don't bother me, I already have many troubles.'

Actually, Saint Poetry doesn't need to doubt life either. If she entered the world in a conventional way, given her strength, she would still be in the top-tier echelon of that world.

"Saint Poetry, you have to think on the bright side. The more dangerous the world, the higher the rewards; risk and reward are equivalent."

Baha offered words of comfort to others, which was rare, but its unscrupulous smile could not make anyone feel consoled.

"I can accept that the world we are entering is dangerous, but it cannot be so dangerous that it's a free-for-all of gods."

Saint Poetry's words made Baha look around. After seeing the lineup of gods on the airship, Baha was speechless for a moment. Saint Poetry's words were impossible to refute; this lineup was indeed too much of a free-for-all of gods.

The ruthless brother who is a four-technique grandmaster from Samsara Paradise, the four-person ranger squad from Death Paradise, and the Magic Scythe, Teride, from Holy Light Paradise—their strength was all unfathomable.

Of course, there was also the Thunder Magic God, Aige, from Apocalypse Paradise. This person's strength was formidable, but if Su Xiao were to fight him, he would have absolute certainty of victory. After all, this was a thunder-type mage.

Su Xiao's 544 points of thunder resistance were enough to restrain thunder-type abilities, and since the opponent was also a mage-type, the damage reduction would be as follows.

The Anti-Magic Constitution exempts 60% of damage, followed by the Anti-Magic passive.

"Anti-Magic (Passive): After you sustain magic-type damage, it will cause the Qing Gang Ying energy within your body to further activate, thereby continuously increasing your magic-type resistance (incremental increase)."

Think that's the end of it? Of course not. On the basis of Anti-Magic (Passive), the Heart of Berger also provides magic-type resistance, thereby bringing about further damage reduction.

After these damage reductions are completed, the thunder magic-type damage caused by the Thunder Magic God, Aige, to Su Xiao must still undergo the reduction of 544 points of thunder resistance before it can finally manage to hurt Su Xiao, whose health points reach as high as 720,000.

Su Xiao looked at the Magic Scythe, Teride, from Holy Light Paradise. This person wore a purple-black robe and a hood. In the darkness of the hood were a pair of eyes cold enough to freeze a soul.

The Magic Scythe, Teride, was both powerful and unfortunate. She was once a contractor with a strong heart but no opportunities, until one time while executing a mission in the Void, she was betrayed by her teammates and fell into an endless deep pit. What was even more fatal was that the abyss passage at the bottom of this deep pit was in a semi-open state, and Teride fell into the abyss.

For just that one moment, her flesh and blood body cracked and shattered like ceramic, but the perseverance and belief in revenge in her heart allowed her soul to barely connect her broken body together. She climbed back from the abyss to the bottom of the endless deep pit like this, and then climbed out with all her might from that vertical deep pit over a hundred thousand meters deep. When she stood on the surface again and looked at the rising morning sun, the contractor Teride died; what lived on was the Magic Scythe, Teride.

The Magic Scythe, Teride, who completed her revenge without any effort, fell into confusion about the future. It wasn't until she entered a world invaded by the abyss and saw the misery and pain there that she knew what she should do and understood why she had been able to climb out of the abyss back then.

As an opponent to such a strong woman, one must maintain full vigilance; otherwise, defeat is certain.

Su Xiao's gaze turned to the four members of the ranger squad. These four were quadruplet brothers, and their auras were completely synchronized to the point that they knew each other's thoughts. Not to mention anything else, the fact that the ranger squad could fight the ruthless brother to a draw was enough to warrant maximum vigilance toward them.

As for the ruthless brother, although this guy is a top-tier ninth-stage combatant and not an "Absolute Strongman," he is brewing a big move. Once he gathers enough momentum, the moment he is promoted to the ranks of "Absolute Strongman," he will be one of the strongest among the "Absolute Strongmen."

Su Xiao glanced at the prompt that had just appeared. This space jump would last for over an hour before reaching the exterior of the Wind Sea Continent. Unlike in the past, there was no world introduction upon entering the world this time; instead, one could view information about the Wind Sea Continent to a certain extent, while some hidden events could only be explored on one's own.

Su Xiao had just prepared to check the general history of the Wind Sea Continent when he received a prompt from Samsara Paradise.

【Prompt: Night of the Wild Hunt has been promoted to Origin-tier.】

【Night of the Wild Hunt】

Origin: Dark Crow World.

Quality: Origin-tier.

Category: Long leather coat.

Durability: 185/185 points (increased by 40 points).

Base Defense: 25 points.

Origin-tier leather armor base bonus: 10% physical/energy damage reduction.

Equipment requirements: True Stamina 260 points, True Intelligence 285 points, hunted more than 5 divinity units (achieved).

Equipment Effect 1: Spirit Garment (Passive): For every 1,000 points of mana, the wearer will additionally increase this equipment's defense by 10 points, penetration resistance by 1 point, high-temperature reduction by 1 point, and erosion reduction by 1 point.

Increased: 310 points of equipment defense (the upper limit of the increase is 310 points).

Increased: 60 points of penetration resistance (the upper limit of the increase is 60 points).

Increased: 60 points of high-temperature reduction (the upper limit of the increase is 60 points).

Increased: 60 points of erosion reduction (the upper limit of the increase is 60 points).

Equipment Effect 2: Soul Plating (Core/Passive): If no attack is received within 24 hours, this equipment will form an invisible soul plating surrounding the wearer. Only before receiving an attack will this plating manifest; under normal circumstances, it is completely hidden.

The durability of the plating is: (wearer's maximum health points 10%) + (wearer's soul strength × 10 × wearer's soul energy tier), which is 140,240 points of durability.

Prompt: Soul plating has no defensive characteristics; when attacked, it will receive full, and even excess, damage.

Prompt: After the soul plating is attacked, it will only continue to exist for 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, regardless of the state of the soul plating, it will shatter.

Scoring judgment method: 1,500–3,000 points (the score of this equipment is determined based on the wearer's True Intelligence, mana limit, and soul strength).

Score: 3000+++

Introduction: The most indestructible defense is the soul.

Price: Cannot be traded.

The characteristics of 【Night of the Wild Hunt】 are quite interesting; it belongs to the type where the stronger the wearer, the stronger the abilities this equipment displays.

The initial defense of this equipment is only 25 points. Not to mention Origin-tier armor of the same type, even Holy Spirit-tier armor is higher than this. However, if the body's energy limit is high enough, the equipment's defense can reach 335 points. Even for Origin-tier heavy armor, most do not have this level of defense.

Besides this, the soul plating is also very practical. When fighting strong opponents, this move can at least block one attack. Don't think this is little; the strong opponents Su Xiao needs to fight to the death all have astonishing strength.

If he encounters someone with average strength, they might throw out a whole set of combos and even their ultimate move at the end, yet they wouldn't even break the soul plating.

After Su Xiao put on the Night of the Wild Hunt, he immediately felt a faint soul defense layer appear around him. This plating is similar to a shield, but it cannot be felt at all after it hides; it only manifests at the moment he is about to be attacked.

【Prompt: Expected to arrive at the exterior of the Wind Sea Continent in 45 minutes and 20 seconds.】

【You have temporarily mastered Wind Sea Continent/Beast Race Language, Lv. 50.】

【You have temporarily mastered Wind Sea Continent/Sea Race Language, Lv. 50.】

【You have temporarily mastered Wind Sea Continent/Tribal Language, Lv. 50.】

Seeing this suddenly appearing prompt, Su Xiao began to check the history related to the Wind Sea Continent. As he activated the corresponding permissions, deafening roars of giant beasts appeared in his ears.

That was a vast and resource-rich giant world, thousands of times more expansive than the native worlds Su Xiao had visited in the past.

The clash between the exotic beasts and the human race had ended. In the clash that lasted for an epoch, the human race ultimately lost. The legacies of one brilliant and powerful civilization after another were left on this continent, waiting for later generations to discover. Just by catching a glimpse of a corner of it, one would be shocked by this brilliance. This was the eighth epoch of the Wind Sea Continent, an epoch with the human race and exotic beasts as the protagonists.

As the victors, the exotic beasts also paid a painful price. Their civilization fell silent, and they could only fall into a deep slumber, having discarded all their memories and only retaining a portion of their knowledge, in hopes of being reborn.

By the ancient times, what remained of this world were towering giant trees, the dark and gloomy sky above that was neither dark nor bright, and the exotic beasts inhabiting various places.

Among them, some spread their wings to block out the sky and sun, some crawled on the ground, longer than mountain ranges or rivers, and some could manipulate the climate, making the gray-black sky pour down torrential rain and making the calm, waveless ocean churn with monstrous waves.

At first, the powerful exotic beasts did not interfere with each other, until one day, the sun rose from the horizon and then set on the other side. This made the sky, which had always been gray and misty, begin to have a distinction between day and night, gradually recovering to its former appearance. The damage done to this world in the previous epoch was smoothed over and healed with the passage of time.

The sun's light brought warmth, excessive warmth turned into scorching heat, and fire was born in the scorching heat. When the fire ignited, the rules of this vast world became clearer, accelerating its recovery. There was day and night, there was cold and warmth, and what appeared immediately after was the distinction between life and death.

When the exotic beasts suddenly realized that the World Tree, which had always stood between heaven and earth, had fallen due to withering, the exotic beasts were terrified.

Before this, even if they bit and fought each other, they could not kill each other. A temporary elimination and devouring were meaningless; the opponent would be reborn under their own World Tree. There was no life or death, and fighting was meaningless.

When the world recovered day and night, cold and heat, life and death, and the World Tree fell because of this, the exotic beasts were either furious, ferocious, or fearful, because this meant that they would also die. Their own World Trees, one by one, withered and fell, turning into nutrients for the growth of millions of plants. The world became rich and colorful again, and also more dangerous.

When the exotic beasts could die, they began to suspect and guard against each other. The strength and weakness among the exotic beasts were highlighted more clearly, especially after all the World Trees had decayed and fallen. The exotic beasts were no longer eternal; if they wanted to continue to survive, they had to devour massive amounts of resources, otherwise, they would slowly weaken and eventually die.

The struggle began, and it evolved to the point where even those exotic beasts that hid in remote places were forced to be drawn into the struggle, until the exotic beasts realized that this kind of struggle would only lead to their extinction.

There were two leaders among the exotic beasts. They were hostile to each other, but due to the strong opposition of other exotic beasts, they could only let the struggle pause.

Until one day, an exotic beast leader discovered that those creatures that originally lived under the World Tree and were only slightly later in origin than them seemed to be good substitutes. They could enslave these creatures and let these weak creatures represent different exotic beasts to fight, thereby deciding the division of territory and precious resources among the exotic beasts, avoiding the death of exotic beasts in the struggle.

This idea was unanimously agreed upon by the exotic beasts. The two exotic beast leaders each chose the creatures that fought on their behalf. Those living on land were collectively referred to by the exotic beasts as the Gurwa Race (Beast Race), while those inhabiting the oceans and islands were collectively referred to as the Garen Race (Sea Race).

The exotic beasts called themselves gods and taught a small portion of the knowledge they possessed to the races they ruled, namely the Beast Race or the Sea Race. The Beast Race and the Sea Race worshipped these exotic beasts as gods, and they launched a tragic slaughter for their respective gods.

The exotic beasts no longer died in the struggle. The results of the slaughter between the Beast Race and the Sea Race determined the territory and resources of the exotic beasts behind them. Hundreds and thousands of years passed like this. Although there were deviations during this period, under the power of the exotic beasts, the Beast Race and the Sea Race could only continue to fight until the abyss invaded.

The exotic beasts tried their best to successfully resist this invasion, and the Beast Race and the Sea Race, whom they treated as chess pieces, were forced by the exotic beasts to rush to the front during the abyss invasion, with fewer than one in ten surviving.

The world temporarily fell into darkness, and the exotic beasts fell into slumber one after another. In this dark age, the Beast Race and the Sea Race struggled to survive. They fought for limited food and limited water sources. This was them fighting for survival and for their race, not as chess pieces for the exotic beasts.

Therefore, in this battle for survival, both sides were exceptionally brave and erupted with all their potential. Or rather, as races that had existed since ancient times and whose origins were only slightly later than the exotic beasts, they actually had huge potential.

At that time, both the Beast Race and the Sea Race had unknowingly absorbed a certain amount of abyss energy during the abyss invasion. This did not enhance their already strong combat power, but based on their desires, it enhanced their reproductive ability.

The tragic war between the two sides, their strong reproductive ability, and the fact that the world gradually transcended and began to produce massive amounts of extraordinary resources after the abyss invasion—with these factors combined, two dominant races were about to emerge.

When the darkness receded, the Beast Race and the Sea Race grew rapidly, but the hatred between them made a ceasefire impossible. Those intelligent races that had spent the dark age with them only dared to hide in remote places to avoid provoking the Beast Race or the Sea Race.

The darkness completely receded, the alternation of day and night reappeared, all things revived, and hundreds of large and small races gradually recovered their former prosperity.

Of course, when facing the Beast Race and the Sea Race, these groups and tribes only dared to crawl on the ground. No one dared to provoke the Beast Race and the Sea Race, who had been at war with each other since the dark age. That was a span of tens of thousands of years, during which the two sides fought and stopped nearly a hundred times in tragic battles. The main battlefields where they fought were stained red, emitting a rotten, fishy stench.

The Beast Race and the Sea Race established their own civilizations in the war against each other, and one day, the sleeping exotic beasts finally woke up. After they woke up, they began to call for their former servants.

The call was very successful. The Beast Race and the Sea Race each found their "gods" and then smashed huge shackles made of World Tree deadwood onto their respective "gods," treating these exotic beasts as war beasts. At this moment, the exotic beasts regretted it, but unfortunately, it was too late. The protagonists of this epoch were no longer them, but the Beast Race and the Sea Race.

The introduction to the Wind Sea Continent ends here. Although it doesn't look complicated, based on Su Xiao's experience, whether it's the Beast Race or the Sea Race, the internal forces will be exceptionally complex. Besides these two overlords, other small and medium-sized forces are actually quite strong, but compared to the Beast Race and the Sea Race, they are not worth mentioning.

In Su Xiao's view, there are actually three parties of major forces in the Wind Sea Continent: the Beast Race, the Sea Race, and the Tribes.

The tribal camp looks loose, but they are not weak at all. They possess powers such as totems, virulent poisons, and witchcraft, which are ancient and mysterious, but they are too loose.

The current situation is that the Beast Race and the Sea Race are fighting until they are battered and exhausted. Although neither side wants to continue fighting, the problem is that the grievances between the two sides are too deep; generations have been mortal enemies. In addition, both the Beast Race and the Sea Race face a situation: either external war or internal war. The scale of both sides is too large; the Sea Race has at least a hundred billion population, and the Beast Race is close to that. If it weren't for the Wind Sea Continent being extremely vast, the basic resources wouldn't be enough.

With the style of the current Beast King, he certainly won't stop the war, and the current Sea King is even more ruthless; he is simply prepared to wipe out the Beast Race.

The Sea King is not arrogant; he has indeed secured the means to wipe out the Beast Race. The Sea King first imprisoned the Dwarf King, one of the three legendary blacksmiths. It should be known that the elemental artifacts crafted by the Dwarf King can promote the growth of natural elements to a certain extent, that is, making natural elements more abundant.

The Wind Sea Continent has no magic-type civilization, so it naturally doesn't lack natural elements, nor does it really need such elemental artifacts, but the Arcane Eternal Star of the Void needs them. The situation in the Void is getting worse day by day, and the appearance of abyss passages is becoming more frequent.

Elemental artifacts that can increase the total amount of natural elements are naturally something the Arcane Eternal Star cannot refuse, and the deal between the two sides was reached.

It is precisely because of this that at the current stage, it is the strong reinforcements of the Arcane Eternal Star + the Sea Race beating up the Beast Race.

Although the Beast Race is very strong, after clashing with the spellcasters, this war race was beaten into a daze and finally understood the title of "magic-type artillery." It only takes a few spellcasters to turn an entire battlefield into a lava purgatory, with meteorites burning with fire-element flames falling from the sky one by one.

The formidable elemental damage can easily burn through the tough skin of the Beast Race, causing them to die after bringing them intense pain.

The original idea of the Beast Race was that since the Sea Race found allies, they would too, so they decisively approached the Meteorite Star.

The Meteorite Star had long wanted to invade the Wind Sea Continent, so they naturally agreed to the alliance. After hearing that they were to deal with spellcasters, the Meteorite Star still agreed, but after knowing that they were to fight the spellcasters on the battlefield, the Meteorite Star looked at the Beast Race suspiciously.

After seeing this information, Su Xiao's train of thought became clearer. Although he probably cannot summon the Zerg this time, he has another trump card, which is the Bloodthirsty Armor that has already absorbed five portions of the 【Sin Bud】.

He can clearly perceive that as long as he lets this armor climb onto his body, his group combat ability will be greatly improved. In addition, after the Black King Armguard is upgraded, there is the "Dead Silence Descent" with a maximum impact diameter of 10,000 meters.

Think that's the end of it? Of course not. When needed, Su Xiao can crush an Apollo with one hand after wearing the 【Inscription Base/God Sacrifice】 to kill the enemy.

If that's still not enough, then rely on his own 544 points of thunder resistance to summon the World Thunder with a huge impact range.

In addition to Su Xiao's three-technique grandmaster status and his development method of stacking passives, in a melee, he kills enemies with basic slashes, basically one per slash. If the enemies charge at him too fiercely, he uses "Blade Dao/Blade/Super/Ring Sever."

Relying on these, Su Xiao is not very afraid of the Sea Race's human-sea tactics. If there were really hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of Sea Race members besieging him, under the shroud of "Dead Silence Descent," the Sea Race members besieging him would likely be wiped out.

It is worth mentioning that according to the description in the data, the "Initial Mark" to be found this time is highly likely in the hands of the Sea King. After all, it was a Sea Race member who previously discovered the "Initial Mark" in the deep sea.

While Su Xiao was pondering this, he felt the airship experience a slight bump. This bump soon subsided, and a prompt appeared.

【Arrived at the exterior of the Transcendence/Native World/Wind Sea Continent.】

【According to the initial regulations, when entering a Transcendence/Native World, the Paradise cannot provide identity disguise to ensure fairness in the judgment of the Void Tree. This permission is provided by the Void Tree.】

【Due to the consumption of this permission, you need to pay the Void Tree 500–2,000 Soul Coins as the cost for this identity disguise (this is the cost you need to bear after a 90% reduction; the 90% reduced cost is paid by the Paradise you are contracted with).】

The cost required for identity disguise after entering the Wind Sea Continent is not low, and the price of 500–2,000 Soul Coins naturally corresponds to the price difference given for different identities and statuses.

Su Xiao chose to wear the 【Sky-Sweeping Astonishing Waves】 title to increase his initial identity upon entering the world, and paid 2,000 Soul Coins.

The bottom cabin in the central area of the ship opened, revealing a piece of chaos below. As long as one enters this, one can enter the Wind Sea Continent.

Puchi~

A drop pod opened, and Water Brother walked into it. The next second, the drop pod closed and was dropped into the chaos below.

This is not a physical drop, but a short-distance teleportation to complete the identity replacement. As for the native who was replaced, they will sleep in the drop pod until the contractor who replaced them leaves the Wind Sea Continent. Whether they are exposed during this period depends on the contractor's own acting skills.

It is conceivable that the natives of the Wind Sea Continent certainly do not welcome the Paradise camp contractors who like to cause trouble. No, it should be hostile.

"Tch~, the probability of exposure with this initial identity is too high. I don't need this thing at all."

Undead Sister spoke. After speaking, she looked at the chaos below. Jumping down directly could also enter the Wind Sea Continent, but there would be no initial identity.

"Yeah, I have this feeling too. The initial identity is useless at all."

Antler Man agreed with Undead Sister's statement.

"..."

Solomon walked over. Compared to the other two undead types, Solomon was the most direct; he jumped directly into the chaos below.

Seeing this, Antler Man gritted his teeth and jumped into the chaos. Undead Sister looked down for a while and even leaned over, tilting her head to listen if there was any sound coming from the chaos, but after hearing nothing, she muttered and turned her back, spread her arms, and fell into the chaos lying on her back.

"There are so many undead types encountered that we have to queue up to jump off the airship."

The ruthless brother, as a four-technique grandmaster, fell into the chaos instead of spending Soul Coins to use the drop pod.

Su Xiao waited for a moment, and the drop pod corresponding to his seat order rose and opened. He walked into it. As the drop pod closed and descended, several types of spatial fluctuations appeared one after another: first slow but peaceful, then medium speed + medium-high stability, and finally fast + accurate, although in terms of experience...

Bang!

A familiar feeling of teleportation, like being hit on the back of the head with a club, struck, and Su Xiao's vision immediately went black.

I don't know how much time had passed, but the faint sound of water droplets falling made Su Xiao open his eyes. After he sat up, he found that this was a small room of about a few square meters, with only a bed and a toilet. In front of him was a transparent crystal layer at least half a meter thick, and the surrounding walls were iron-black metal structures, exceptionally sturdy.

Su Xiao raised his hands and found that on his wrists, he was shackled with shackles reinforced with soul spells. He looked outside the transparent crystal layer in front of him.

In the large room outside, one by one, Beast Race members, some with fangs and some with horns, were looking at Su Xiao with serious expressions, ready for battle. Just because he raised his hands to look at his shackles, the dozens of burly Beast Race members outside, ranging from 2.5 to 4 meters tall, all stood up, their gazes both solemn and nervous.
