Chapter 3753: Plan

After checking the content of the legendary mission, Su Xiao was very interested in this mission. Although only one of the three mission rewards could be seen, this reward that could increase the Void Tree credibility from -??? to 0 points was already very generous.

Su Xiao had also had two increases in Void Tree credibility after his Void Tree credibility reached -???, and the increase range was not small, but the -??? credibility had no reaction, which showed how negative it was.

This time, being able to increase it to 0 points, the intensity of the increase could be imagined. As for whether this meant that the Void Tree credibility was saved, in Su Xiao's view, it was not.

According to his long-term experience of losing Void Tree credibility, he found that Void Tree credibility was actually double-layered. One layer was the numerical value that could be seen on the surface, and the other layer was the hidden numerical value.

The numerical value that could be seen on the surface was the -??? value, while the invisible one was likely calculated according to a percentage, similar to hidden credibility.

Assuming Morey's hidden credibility was 80%, then when she obtained Void Tree credibility, assuming she obtained 100 points of Void Tree credibility, it was the base 100 points, plus 100x85%, finally equaling 185 points.

And Su Xiao's hidden credibility was clearly a negative number. In this way, the original deduction of 50 points of Void Tree credibility reached the base -50x10 = -500 points after the improvement of the hidden credibility.

Under such circumstances, even if the Void Tree credibility was restored to 0 points, once punished by the Void Tree subsequently, the credibility would definitely drop rapidly.

Did this mean that the reward of increasing the Void Tree credibility -??? to 0 points was useless? Of course not. When Su Xiao's Void Tree credibility was -???, he could make the Void Tree issue warnings. If he could ruthlessly fleece it once when the Void Tree credibility was 0 points, the gain would definitely take off on the spot.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao opened the reward list of the survival leaderboard.

【The rewards for this round of survival leaderboard are as follows:】

First place: Talent Badge (talent-type item, each person can use it at most once).

Second place: Abyss Box (after opening, there is a high probability of obtaining Abyss products).

Third place: Random Origin-level set (after opening, one can be obtained from the only ten Origin-level sets).

Fourth place: Crimson Crystal (Abyss characteristic item).

Fifth place: Golden Power Scroll (after use, one can obtain 1–30 Golden Skill Points).

……

Among the five rewards, the one Su Xiao wanted most was the 【Talent Badge】. This thing was the ceiling among talent-type items, and there were two effects.

1. Upgrade talent abilities that had not reached SSS level after the second awakening to SSS level intensity.

2. If this talent ability had already reached SSS level, then according to the talent master's own characteristics, perform an adaptive transformation on this talent ability. Although it was not an intensity increase, it could make this talent ability more suitable for Su Xiao.

Su Xiao's second talent ability, Blood Beast, was in urgent need of this adaptive transformation.

【Talent Ability: Blood Beast.】

Category: Growth Talent

Level: SSS

Talent Effect (Active): Use one's own breath to generate a Blood Beast. The Blood Beast can be generated instantly and immediately pounce on the enemy (the enemy needs to be within 10 meters).

Hint: The cooldown time of this ability is 8 natural days. Because it is a talent ability, it can be used forcibly, but it will cause a huge burden on the body.

……

In the middle stage, this was one of Su Xiao's best-to-use ultimate moves. But with the improvement of his strength, the intensity of Blood Beast began to fail to keep up. Reasonably speaking, this was actually an ability that could be used until the late stage. However, the enemies Su Xiao encountered in the late stage were becoming more and more outrageous, making this ultimate move ability look like a small skill.

If he could use the 【Talent Badge】 to perform an adaptive transformation on the Blood Beast talent ability, there would definitely be a high-amount improvement. With Su Xiao's current ability system, this blood-qi-type talent would likely turn into a passive bonus. Whether it was increasing blood qi or increasing his own physique and HP, it would be better than the current active effect.

Even without this talent effect, Su Xiao could manifest the Blood Beast, and the manifestation speed was very fast, the pouncing intensity was higher, and after completing the pounce, it could explode blood smoke to block the enemy's vision and perception, comprehensively exceeding the effect of this talent.

The reason for this situation was because Su Xiao mastered the Lv. 80 Blood Gun Master, which gave him the qualification to improve the Blood Beast ability.

Su Xiao believed that people like the Ruthless Brother, Puppeteer, Priest, and Moon Witch must also have two or three talent abilities. Their talent abilities, which were biased toward the early and middle stages, were also in special need of the 【Talent Badge】.

Among these people, the Ruthless Brother and Xier were the most troublesome competitors. Between the two, it seemed that the Ruthless Brother was more dangerous, but in fact, it was not. The Ruthless Brother was slightly stronger than Xier, but if it was about the degree of danger, it was actually Xier who was higher.

Xier looked like a shy, quiet girl with glasses, sometimes wearing a white single ponytail, looking like she had social phobia. But after seeing the enemy's blood, she gradually had red eyes. The poison milk among the hunters, one could imagine how dangerous Xier was.

Also because of this, even if they had cooperated for a long time, the Ruthless Brother didn't have any other thoughts about his partner Xier. Or rather, when they first started cooperating, he still had some, but in a fifth-tier world, Xier suddenly woke up from the next tent, walked into the Ruthless Brother's tent while sleepwalking, stabbed him dozens of times, and then returned to her own tent. The next morning, Xier, who woke up, discovered that her teammate had been attacked, and then helped the Ruthless Brother treat it.

At that time, the Ruthless Brother once suspected whether Xier had a split personality, but because it was difficult to find a treatment-type in the Reincarnation Paradise, let alone a treatment-type among the hunters, he could only endure it first. Plus, he guessed that this kind of thing should just be an accident.

But that night, the Ruthless Brother woke up in the extreme pain of being stabbed. Because he was too severely injured, he didn't have a chance to fight back and fainted. Then, when he woke up again, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Xier who was releasing treatment abilities on him. The Ruthless Brother almost fainted on the spot again.

Since then, even if Xier's appearance was good and her temperament was quiet, she could no longer attract the Ruthless Brother. That face full of joyful smiles, wearing round-framed glasses, and stained with star-like blood, was already difficult to erase from his mind.

Besides the Ruthless Brother and Xier, Puppeteer, Priest, and Moon Witch were equally difficult competitors. Therefore, if he wanted to take the 【Talent Badge】, he definitely had to use some trump cards.

Plus, there was one more point. Su Xiao's energy in this world must be concentrated on the Lightless Temple, the World-Eater, and world-destroying groups. He had no leisure time to strive for the first place on the survival leaderboard. Therefore, if he wanted to win this round, he could only rely on a wave of operations that could be derived after the Void Tree credibility was increased to 0 points.

In the sleeping nest, Su Xiao pondered for a moment and decided to let Jila rebuild a Zerg nest instead of occupying the current Zerg nest. The Zerg nest with Jila's characteristics was better at troop explosion, while the Zerg nest with the Silver Queen's characteristics was better at mining resources and converting the mined ore into life stones.

After discussion, it was decided that the Silver Queen would gradually sink the current Zerg nest, which was hundreds of meters high, into the ground. This was both more convenient for mining and could avoid the suspicious phenomenon of two mother nests standing in the Zerg building complex.

Regarding this, the Silver Queen had no opinion and was very happy to do so. The reason was that after being attacked, it must be the Jila Zerg nest above that was destroyed first, and only then could it threaten her.

This also led to the Silver Queen Zerg nest only taking two hours to completely sink into the ground. On the large open space that was vacated, Jila raised her hand, and a unique Zerg energy surged, forming purple biological tissue, and landed on the ground.

A mini Zerg nest half a meter high appeared. After absorbing a life stone, this dark purple mini Zerg nest grew to three meters high. Subsequently, this Zerg nest cracked, and a worker scorpion was born.

The Demon Zerg's worker scorpion was very unique. It was not good at mining, but it was particularly good at building Zerg buildings. The three working tails of the worker scorpion moved, and then it began to catalyze part of the Zerg nest tissue, letting the Zerg nest begin to grow through biological energy. When the Zerg nest reached five meters high, it cultivated dozens of worker scorpions.

The more worker scorpions, the faster the Zerg nest grew. The larger the Zerg nest, the more worker scorpions it could cultivate at one time. This cycle, a few hours later, a thousand-meter-high Zerg nest with a large area appeared, which made various Zerg buildings belonging to the Silver Queen in the surroundings only move to the surroundings, giving up enough range.

When the "Jila Spiral Tower," which was taller than the Zerg nest, stood tall, it represented one thing: the Demon Zerg had completely descended into this world. The good news was that this time summoning Jila, Su Xiao didn't lose Void Tree credibility, because this was the Eternal Light World. Jila arrived here, and before she was completely developed, she really didn't count as a ruthless character.

To cover up, thousands of worker scorpions belonging to the Silver Queen climbed onto the mother nest and the Jila Spiral Tower, and before long, they changed the exterior of these two Zerg buildings into the style of the Silver Queen's Zerg buildings.

After the mother nest was established, the internal energy storage organization (ninth tier), egg-hatching organization (ninth tier), cultivation sac (ninth tier), energy conversion organization (ninth tier), evolution chamber (ninth tier), and other mother nest organs were all formed. What was more important was the sleeping nest.

A moment later, in the sleeping nest, Jila sat on the bed formed by biological tissue. Behind her was the inner wall of the sleeping nest. On both sides were half-meter chitinous arcs. That feeling was like a super-large eggshell opened from the front, which made Jila, who was sitting on the bed and yawning, feel very safe.

As soon as Su Xiao walked into the sleeping nest, a hint appeared, first the data of his own mother nest, that 16 million HP represented that the accumulation of the previous world was not in vain.

Even if his own mother nest was attacked, it wouldn't threaten Jila for a while. Plus, the defense level of the mother nest was definitely higher than that of individual units. This was, after all, a building with biological characteristics.

Besides the exaggerated HP of this mother nest, the subsequent hint was for Su Xiao to allocate the characteristics of the bacterial carpet. The bacterial carpet genes developed in the previous world had been cleared by Jila. The upper limit level that the bacterial carpet could reach would not be lowered. Simply put, it was just consuming biological energy to re-allocate points.

No need to consider, every Lv. 10 increase appeared once for characteristic selection. All were selected for biological energy and soul energy absorption efficiency. The final bacterial carpet obtained was:

【Bacterial Carpet Lv. 50: Biological energy, soul energy absorption efficiency +75%.】

Counting the basic 10% of the bacterial carpet, the extreme recovery efficiency reached 85%. That is to say, if the enemy eliminated a Demon Flame Dragon cultivated with 30 points of biological energy, then as long as the bacterial carpet absorbed the corpse of this Demon Flame Dragon, the loss of his own Zerg nest was about 4.5 points of biological energy. This was the powerful endurance exchanged by giving up the resource mining ability.

Su Xiao checked the existing biological energy, totaling 124,600 points. This was a value balanced according to the rules of this world. And the increase in the gold content of each point of biological energy also changed the cultivation costs of various Zerg, as follows:

Elite Worker Scorpion: 1 point of biological energy can cultivate 2000.

Brutal Turret: 200 points of biological energy per turret.

Elite Demon Beast: 4 points of biological energy each.

Demon Flame Dragon: 30 points of biological energy each.

Titan Behemoth: 1000 points of biological energy each.

The strongest Zerg unit on his side was still the Titan. This thing had high construction cost and slow movement, but its plasma cannon rain was truly powerful.

Su Xiao checked the level of the Demon Zerg, which was still Lv. 95. It was still 5 levels away from reaching the full level of Lv. 100. It didn't look like much, but the evolution points required for each level continued to climb. Lv. 95 to Lv. 96 required 300 evolution points, while Lv. 96 to Lv. 97 required 350 points.

To upgrade from Lv. 95 to Lv. 100, a total of 2100 evolution points were needed. More importantly, biological energy could be obtained by the Silver Queen mining life ore veins, but evolution points could only be obtained by the bacterial carpet absorbing the enemy's soul energy after killing the enemy, and then converted by the mother nest.

In Su Xiao's view, Jila was quite strong now, but to reach the degree of eliminating more than 90% of world-destroying creatures in this world, he must let Jila's Zerg level upgrade to Lv. 100 and awaken the strongest Zerg ultimate ability before he could possibly complete the legendary mission: Eternal Light Lord.

Su Xiao's train of thought gradually became clear. His two missions, the awakening mission and the legendary mission, had to be completed in two ways. The awakening mission was to kill the four giants of the Lightless Temple. This could only be done by Su Xiao with his own personal supreme combat power.

The Lord of Eternal Darkness, the Abyss Archbishop, the Progenitor, and the Star-Swallowing Beast all had abilities to kill those below a certain combat tier in a range. Once the combat Zerg entered this range, they would immediately trigger instant death, and might even restore HP to the enemy.

Wanting to complete the legendary mission: Eternal Light Lord, even if Su Xiao reached supreme powerhouse, he couldn't do it. He had to rely on Jila to do it.

After looking at the existing biological energy of the Zerg nest, Su Xiao let Jila cultivate all 120,000 biological energy into Elite Demon Beasts, and let these 30,000 Demon Beasts hide in various parts of the mother nest. The reason for doing so was to guard against the Silver Queen suddenly turning hostile. For a long time subsequently, Su Xiao would be going out, and there were 30,000 Demon Beasts in the Zerg nest. Even if the Silver Queen suddenly turned hostile, she couldn't beat Jila.

That's right, it was just that exaggerated. The Silver Queen had a million-level Zerg legion, but once she clashed with Jila, 30,000 Demon Beasts would all rush out. At the same time, the bacterial carpet would spread.

Even if the ninth-tier Elite Demon Beasts all exchanged one-for-one with the enemy, the biological energy absorbed by the bacterial carpet would be enough to let the number of Demon Beasts double in the next batch of troop explosions. The speed of his own mother nest cultivating Elite Demon Beasts was cultivating 4000 Demon Beasts at the same time, one batch every 5 minutes.

By then, the Silver Queen would find that the combat Zerg of the Demon Zerg were getting more and more numerous. While fighting, the flying dragon units on the opposite side would come out, followed by Titan Behemoths. A few rounds of plasma cannon rain would clear the surroundings, and then Brutal Turrets would be established.

The most likely situation was that after one day, the Silver Queen would find that her combat Zerg were not left with many, while Jila on the opposite side already had hundreds of thousands of Demon Beasts, as well as Demon Flame Dragons flying all over the sky, and more than ten Titan Behemoths near the mother nest. Further out, there were Brutal Turrets surrounding the surroundings.

After inquiring, he learned that the Zerg under the Silver Queen mined life ore every day. Except for the consumed part, they could earn a total of 180,000 biological energy every day, which made Su Xiao decide to save biological energy for a period of time.

For the recent 8–10 days, the Demon Zerg would keep a low profile. After saving 1.5–1.8 million biological energy, they would expand troop explosion and clean up these world-destroying groups in the Overgrown Land.

There were no weak ones among these world-destroying groups, but relatively speaking, the World-Eater, which could already swallow extreme natural elements, was the ultimate boss in this regard. Before saving enough biological energy, it must not be noticed by the World-Eater.

In the sleeping nest, Su Xiao let Bahar invite the Silver Queen here. After the Silver Queen came here, Su Xiao let the Silver Queen know about the 120-plus contracts she had signed. From the Silver Queen's shocked gaze, she needed some time to be quiet and digest the fact that she had signed 120-plus contracts alone.

Su Xiao did this to guard against the Silver Queen secretly making trouble during his departure. Now with these 120-plus contracts, the Silver Queen would have great concerns. More importantly, as long as the Silver Queen completed this cooperation, she could not only leave the Eternal Light World, but these 120 contracts would all become invalid. This point was noted in every contract.

After doing all this, Su Xiao took Bubu Wang, Bahar, and the irritable little elf to leave the mother nest and head to Station 6. On the way, the irritable little elf left. It was going to track the orientation of the World-Eater this time.

Between the lush green scenery, the iron-black train tracks were not obvious. Su Xiao threw a black iron coin into the station platform covered with green vines. After waiting for a while, the Beast Train roared. He was prepared to go to the Wet Salt Zone.

Just after getting on the train, Su Xiao saw two figures. One of them was wearing a fox mask, and the other was wearing a gothic dress. It was Puppeteer and Gulu.

"Mother fox, save me."

Gulu opened her mouth. Puppeteer suddenly became addicted to the book in her hand. The reason was that although she was about to complete the trial and break through to supreme powerhouse, before completing all this, she was temporarily not Su Xiao's opponent, even if her accumulation time at the peak of the ninth tier was much longer than Su Xiao's.

Su Xiao just sat down, and Gulu got up, muttering in her mouth: "Has it arrived at the station? Almost forgot to get off."

While speaking, Gulu had already reached the car door. Seeing this, Bahar said with a bad smile: "This is the Overgrown Zone. Are you sure you want to get off here?" 【3753-8

Hearing this, Gulu's footsteps faltered. Until the carriage door closed, she maintained a slightly stiff smile and said, "Bai Ye, long time no see."

"..."

Su Xiao did not speak; he merely flipped through the records of the World Contact Platform and displayed Gulu's dozen or so messages.

"Do you think the one who opened those hundred thousand one-star titles was me?"

After Su Xiao finished speaking, he gestured for Gulu to sit opposite him.

"Of course not, how could you possibly be that unlucky."

Gulu said words that made her conscience ache, then she began to change the subject, refusing to mention anything about the World Contact Platform until the train arrived at Station No. 4 near the Sanctuary City and stopped.

Watching the masked woman take Gulu off the train, Su Xiao's brows furrowed slightly once the doors closed. He was certain Gulu's personal consciousness was fine, but the 'scent' on her was too peculiar. He didn't know what treasure she was carrying, but it actually emitted a strange fragrance carrying soul fluctuations.

If not for Su Xiao's powerful willpower, given the characteristics of his Soul Eater talent, he might not have been able to control the bewitching sensation of that fragrance and would have seized the secret treasure from her.

This unknown treasure made Su Xiao feel that Gulu might be planning to stir up some major trouble by coming to the Eternal Light World.

Setting this aside for now, Su Xiao began to contemplate his subsequent plans. For the next period of time, he would concentrate all his energy on dealing with the Four Titans of the Lightless Temple, rather than opening the Monarch's Treasure first.

Opening the Monarch's Treasure at this time, no matter how one looked at it, offered no advantage to his side. Conversely, not opening it for now and finding a way to eliminate one of the Four Titans of the Lightless Temple was the priority.

Dealing with one of the Four Titans of the Lightless Temple required sufficient strength. The problem was that Su Xiao had almost exhausted the means to improve himself. Since he couldn't improve himself, he would change his approach; weakening the enemy was also a viable method.

Lord of Eternal Darkness, Abyss Archbishop, Progenitor, Astral Devourer.

Su Xiao looked at the limited data on the Four Titans. The most troublesome problem now was that after the "Super-World-Class Sealing Technique" was activated, all four Titans returned to the top city of the Sanctuary City. As long as the four of them were gathered together, Su Xiao absolutely could not make a move, nor could he even expose his own tracks.

Continuing to review the data sent back by Benny, the interior of the Lightless Temple was quite complex. However, beneath the Four Titans was the Temple High Priest, Ezzler. Seeing this person's photo, Su Xiao clearly hadn't met him before, yet he felt a sense of familiarity with him. As for what specific aspect that familiarity was, it was truly difficult to judge for the moment.

After pondering for a moment, Su Xiao gradually developed a plan. How to make the Four Titans leave the top city of the Sanctuary City was the key at the moment. He could be certain that the relationship between the Four Titans was definitely not one of friendship and trust; they might even have a certain degree of hostility. Their current presence in the top city was purely under the compulsion of the "Super-World-Class Sealing Technique."

Under such circumstances, how to create conflict among the Four Titans was the key to solving this deadlock. Try to sow discord? No, that would be seen through by the Four Titans at a glance. Su Xiao looked down at his hands. Sometimes, knowledge is power, and it is also wealth—for example, the pharmacology he had mastered.

What do powerful world-destroying existences and abyss-bred creatures crave most? The answer is extremely pure life essence. As a pharmacist, Su Xiao could certainly concoct such a potion. No, potions are easily suspicious as they are man-made. This kind of secret treasure needs to be disguised better, as if it were born naturally.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao had Baja change the train's itinerary; they would not go to the Wet Salt Area for now, but to the Black Iron City instead.

Su Xiao had a concept. He prepared to wait for the other three 'good teammates' in the Black Iron City, then the four of them would cooperate to go to the Silver Queen's side first to take one day's worth of mined Life Stones. Although these Life Stones were precious, they were not enough to attract the Four Titans of the Lightless Temple.

But if this large amount of Life Stones were first catalyzed into a liquid state, and then, through Su Xiao's exquisite pharmacology, he added at least 10 kilograms of Black Maple tree branches—also catalyzed into a liquid state—to these life potions to enhance them.

Afterward, he would entrust Caesar to obtain extremely pure abyss power through the Abyss Jar to perform an extreme enhancement on these potions and have them crystallized to form "Life Crystals."

Then, Zuiyas would use his time ability to catalyze them, making the "Life Crystals" appear as if they had been precipitated and condensed for a thousand years. Zuiyas could achieve this if it were only for inanimate objects.

Finally, Wood would use the Devil race's inherited secret technique to disguise these "Life Crystals" as naturally formed. In the entire Devil race, only Wood was qualified to inherit this technique; this was the recognition from several old Devil race members for him sending away the "wild daddy," the Abyss Jar.

Through the joint efforts of the four 'good teammates,' plus the 10-kilogram share of Black Maple tree output, these "Life Crystals" would definitely make the Four Titans of the Lightless Temple feel a craving.

Especially since, for so many years, the Four Titans had already devoured all such life secret treasures within the Eternal Light World. They hadn't seen a secret treasure with life characteristics for over a thousand years, let alone the fact that these "Life Crystals" were definitely rare treasures among life-characteristic secret treasures.

Besides being precious, "Life Crystals" would have another characteristic: their outer shell would be naturally sealed by world power. Once this shell was broken, the life essence inside would dissipate rapidly, completely ruling out the possibility of dividing it into four small pieces for each of the Four Titans of the Lightless Temple to have one.

Therefore, there were only three large pieces of these "Life Crystals." Regrettably, there were clearly four of the Four Titans of the Lightless Temple. How should they divide them? This was truly a difficult question to decide.

And the real trump card was not just making the Four Titans of the Lightless Temple have an internal conflict. Don't forget who manufactured these "Life Crystals." Saint Flame Pharmacist was not only good at concocting potions; he was equally skilled at potent poisons that were difficult to detect.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao sent a message in the squad channel, the content being to have the other three 'good teammates' gather in the Black Iron City.

The current situation appeared to be the 'good teammates' quartet vs. the Four Titans of the Lightless Temple, but in reality, the situation was more complex than that, because between these two sides, there was also the priest who was disguised as the Temple High Priest, Ezzler.
