Chapter 3901: Surprise

Star Fall Continent, Sea Race Main City: Atogu City.

On the vast ocean, any piece of land was precious. Giant Spirit Island, where the Sea Race Main City was located, must be the largest island in this world. It was so vast, and the reason it was still called an island was because of its unique structure.

The towering steel city walls were spectacular. Under the embellishment of time, these hundred-meter-high steel city walls lacked a cold feeling.

Actually, the Sea Race Main City consisted of two parts: one part was what people saw above land, and located below this giant island, there was a part submerged in the sea, which was also a big city.

The peace and prosperity of the past were no longer there. At this time, looking down from above, one would find that the land around the Sea Race Main City had melted, and the seawater that trapped this place had turned into a deep purple. Countless marine biological skeletons floated on the sea surface. Their flesh and blood hadn't been devoured but had been corroded and dissolved by the highly toxic seawater.

Wisps of purple mist rose from the seawater, which made the Sea Races in the main city who still had sanity stay on the high walls, wearing various protective gear, looking at the behemoth ahead with despair.

This is a supreme beast with countless black tentacles, each a hundred meters thick and hundreds of thousands of meters long. At this scale, each black tentacle looks thin, though of course, that is only relative to its size. At the core of this beast's body is a giant eye, surrounded by many smaller secondary eyes.

The beast floats in mid-air, and from its giant eye, it emits a dark yellow light that twists the mind. This murky light erodes the sea surface until it hisses, and the high walls of the Sea Race's main city have also become pitted and scarred.

The screams, roars, and explosions in the Sea Race Main City connected into one piece, and the Sea Race's defense line collapsed in a short time.

Among the supreme peaks like the Soul Lord, Blade Demon, Undead Old Man, Deer God, and Demon Old Woman, the Spider Lady's dueling ability ranked toward the back, but her fierce poison was too suitable for exterminating large forces. If she wanted, she only needed half a month to make the vast transcendence realm of the Star Fall Continent have no living things. However, this was also related to the daily weakening of the Star Fall Continent.

The epic war between the Beast Race and the Sea Race consumed too many world resources, making it very difficult for "top-tier supreme" to appear here, let alone "super-top-tier supreme" and the most powerful "supreme peak."

The Sea Race has lost. If it were just Lady Spider, the Sea Race would still have had some hope after she wiped out the Beast Race. But Lady Spider released the "Ancestor." The reason this beast is called the "Ancestor" is that all the powerful beasts on the Wind Sea Continent were hunted to extinction after the rise of the Sea Race and the Beast Race.

This beast, named the "Ancestor," was born in the murky darkness during the early First Era, when the Wind Sea Continent was still a barren, chaotic wasteland. As one of the five ancestral beasts, it is, to this day, the oldest and most powerful beast.

The "Ancestor" could appear in the world because of the Beast Race's own evil consequences. Back then, the Beast Race and the Sea Race resisted the abyss invasion, which couldn't be considered a complete victory. The two races didn't seal all the abyss channels but left one each.

The reason for this was the blood curse of the Beast Race and the Sea Race, which was both a disaster and a power. They both understood one point: once they lost this powerful bloodline, they couldn't compare with the witches of the Witch Realm or the ancient gods of the Meteorite Star, and they would likely not be able to guard the Star Fall Continent, this transcendence realm. Those void big groups had been eyeing the transcendence realm for a long time. The void had the absolute hegemon, the Arcane Eternal Star, and those big races were difficult to completely rise in the void.

If they could seize a transcendence realm, whether it was the Demon Race, Feather Race, Devil Race, Star Race, or Soul Race, they would have a higher development upper limit.

Therefore, the Beast Race and the Sea Race tacitly chose to leave one abyss channel each and controlled the abyss channel so it wouldn't surge with abyss power outward, only drifting out moderately and slowly, thereby ensuring that the blood curse of the Beast Race and the Sea Race wouldn't disappear.

The terrifying population surge of the Beast Race and the Sea Race, once completely out of control, would quickly exhaust the resources of the Star Fall Continent. So the kings of the two races tacitly chose to wage war against each other. In this way, the Star Fall Continent successfully ranked alongside other transcendence realms in a distorted way.

Under such circumstances, it was destined that the Star Fall Continent couldn't produce individual powerhouses. Even if one luckily appeared, they would sooner or later have conflicts with the Beast Race and the Sea Race. And the Beast Race and the Sea Race backstabbing the Spider Lady was the best proof.

Conversely, in the Witch Realm, a Moon Witch, Seris, appeared. A group of old wizards were laughing so hard their mouths were crooked. Guarding against and backstabbing this "supreme peak"? Stop joking. Since the Witch Realm produced the Moon Witch Seris, several old wizards went to the Arcane Eternal Star to participate in the Arcane Celebration, and their hairstyles were different from before.

The Beast Race's current fate was self-inflicted. Not only that, they also ruthlessly pitted the Sea Race, who seemed to be enemies but were actually secret allies.

The "Ancestor" floating in front of the Sea Race Main City, with a million-meter body size, large enough to cover the sky and the sun, was the evil consequence brought by the Beast Race. One might ask, what method did the Beast Race use to not only let the abyss channel not surge with abyss energy in large quantities but also maintain a certain output power?

The answer is that they utilized the fact that the "Ancestor Beast's" corpse could passively absorb Abyss energy to form crystalline Abyss Power. This not only achieved the sealing but also allowed for the periodic production of a rare treasure called "Dark Crystal," until the "Ancestor" came back to life.

In the Sea Race Main City, raging flames burned. In the center of the main street, the Spider Lady stood on a thousand-meter-high mountain of corpses. Because of her strike just now, she blasted tens of thousands of flying Sea Races in the sky to pieces. She was now slightly looking up with her eyes closed, spreading her arms to enjoy the blood rain. Only enough Sea Race blood could slightly calm the anger in her heart.

The Spider Lady's milky-white long hair was stained red with blood. She opened her eyes, and a pair of blood-colored vertical pupils made her look even more violent. Her magnificent appearance, coupled with such a cruel and violent gaze, made her beauty even more cruel.

The Spider Lady looked at the Sea Race Wang Gong standing in the center of the main city. This was her target. The old Beast King was dead, and she couldn't kill him with her own hands, but the Sea King of the Sea Race was one of the four betrayers back then, and also the planner among them.

At the same time, Sea Race Main City · Bottom, the lowest layer of the Wang Gong.

This place was tens of thousands of meters deep into the seabed. Among the entire Sea Race, those who knew of the existence of this place didn't exceed three people, including the Sea King, the creator.

The Sea King, dressed in dark gold scales, stopped in front of a rock giant door under the escort of a dozen guards. This rock giant door appeared gray-white, pitted, and had traces of melting like a candle. If one listened carefully, one could hear the sound of surging and rubbing against the wall inside.

A faint light lit up in the Sea King's eyes. The next instant, the dozen guards around him all had their heads burst and died. These guards who had followed the Sea King for many years never thought that this monarch would have murderous intent toward them.

The Sea King, over three meters tall, with a head of slightly natural curly long hair and a clean-shaven face, stopped in front of the rock giant door. Compared to the past, his face was pale to the point of being creepy—no, it should be ghastly pale. Besides that, eyes began to open on his hands, side of his neck, and other positions.

"You can deceive everyone, but the Sea Race will always perish."

A distorted, deep voice that didn't sound like a human came from the gray-white stone door opposite.

"Traitor, you traitor!!"

This time the voice was angry and loud.

"How long can you disguise yourself? You can indeed use the ancient urn to suppress us forever, but don't forget, you are also one of us. You are not a Sea Race. Even if you become the King of the Sea Race, you are not a Sea Race. Ah, hehehehehe~"

This time the voice was playful and cunning, but the feeling of devouring people was still strong.

"We come from the abyss, and so do you. You will always be one of us, the fourth position of the family. You can't escape."

An old voice came from the stone door. As soon as this voice spoke, the other violent auras all converged.

The Sea King never spoke. He pressed one hand on the stone door, and in turn, the stone door exploded. Abyss black mist surged toward him. Several black shadows swept over, and those scarlet eyes wanted to tear the Sea King to pieces and devour him.

"The Spider Lady and the Ancestor are outside."

As soon as the Sea King said this, the sharp teeth and black claws that were attacking him with the black mist stopped at the same time. Many years ago, they had

Just then, an old man with a hunched figure, wearing tattered, rag-like long robes and leaning on a twisted wooden staff, walked out from the black mist. His eyes were pitch black, and on his skin, which was covered in age spots, individual eyes surged and shifted positions. At that moment, a dark creature, the Dark Eater, flew out from the Abyss black mist, preparing to escape, but it was entangled by black silk threads, dragged into a hole in the old man's cheek, and chewed up with a crunching sound.

The eerie old man stopped beside the Sea King. The Sea King's vitality withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his once burly figure became gaunt and skeletal, though the Sea King did not die.

Crunch, crunch...

From within the black mist inside the stone gate came a crisp sound. First, a terrifying aura of Original Sin vanished, indicating that the Original Sin object had moved to an unknown location. The seal within the black mist shattered with a boom, and a massive amount of Abyss energy surged out.

Abyss energy surged from behind the eerie old man, immediately swallowing it. The eerie old man did not care at all; instead, a faint smile appeared on its horrifying face, and the black mist in its eyes became so dense it seemed to swallow all light.

The era of the Sea Race and the Beast Race ended here, and the Abyss era of the Wind Sea Continent descended.

Inside the silent ancient hall, dark embers drifted. The crisscrossing slash marks and large areas of collapse in the hall showed how fierce the battle had just been. Had it not been for the protection of massive amounts of spell formations, this building would have long since been razed to the ground.

The whispers of the dead that had been faintly audible in the air had vanished. This quiet environment brought peace to Su Xiao's heart as he lay on the ground. Having just experienced a death battle, lying quietly like this for a while was truly a pleasant experience.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who had been shot in both buttocks, ran over feeling particularly aggrieved. After rising to observe, Su Xiao found the problem was not serious, so he let Amu pull the arrows out for Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, pouring half a bottle of recovery potion on the wounds and letting him drink the other half.

Amu's injuries were not a major issue, though Amu firmly believed so himself. After a preliminary observation, Amu's injuries were not light; soul arrows would damage the soul, and in Su Xiao's current state, he naturally could not perform major repairs on Amu.

Upon learning this, Amu's tense expression gradually relaxed, but then he heard that he would later be taken to the Great Library to be treated by the four Sun Scholars.

Su Xiao also needed to go find the four Sun Scholars for treatment. He had been forced to cut off his right arm just now. Although the combat prosthetic was very useful and restored the various attributes of his right arm to 96.25%, he used his right arm to hold his blade. As such, the gap between the combat prosthetic and his own right arm was even greater. The most urgent matter now was to go to the Great Library to treat his right arm.

As for his left arm, using the combat prosthetic for the time being was the best choice, because the damage to the left arm was more severe. Seeking treatment from the Sun Scholars would likely not result in a complete cure; it would require the treatment permission after returning to Reincarnation Paradise to be fully healed.

After the Nun died, she turned into dark embers and dissipated, leaving only the "Sin Eye Magic Scythe" standing on the ground. Su Xiao took out a binding strap full of sealing formations, and the bandage-like sealing strap wrapped around it, sealing the magic scythe. He tried to store it in his storage space, and it actually succeeded.

The only subsequent use for this thing was to give or sell it to the Magic Scythe, Tailide. Su Xiao was more inclined to give it away. The reason is that magic scythes improve their own power by devouring Abyss energy, which leads to all magic scythes having a personality that is almost extremely clear about gratitude and grudges. If one has a grudge against a magic scythe, the magic scythe's level of holding a grudge can reach "Witch-level." If one has done a favor for a magic scythe, and that favor is not repaid for too long, the magic scythe will feel stifled in its heart.

If he encounters troublesome Abyss spawns in the future, he can ask the Magic Scythe, Tailide, for help. The magic scythe's ability to track Abyss spawns is arguably the strongest in the Astral Realm, and the Abyss spawns he deals with later will only become increasingly tricky.

Su Xiao once thought that Abyss spawns were a single category, but later he discovered that Abyss spawns are a large system, and this large system has three massive branches, which are:

Tribe Abyss Spawn.

Alien Existence Abyss Spawn.

Immortal Abyss Spawn.

First is the first major branch, "Tribe Abyss Spawn." Su Xiao had not yet encountered this type of Abyss spawn. These are Abyss spawns in the form of tribes, possessing high intelligence, and even powerful creativity, talents, etc. The problem is, precisely because they have high intelligence, they are more eager to possess.

Generally, these Tribe Abyss Spawns are the behind-the-scenes boss families of large factions within a high-tier world.

Therefore, "Tribe Abyss Spawn" also has another name: Abyss Descendants. These descendants or families are naturally hostile to Su Xiao.

The second branch of Abyss spawns is called "Alien Existence Abyss Spawn." These Abyss spawns exist as individuals, and even if they are of the same kind from the same tribe, they rarely gather together.

Moreover, the gap in ability between these Abyss spawns is enormous. The top tier includes terrifying existences like the "Dark Bed," while the lowest level includes dark creatures similar to single-celled organisms like "Earthworms."

Dark Bed, Drowning Hidden, Dark Eater, Starving Insect, Earthworm, etc., are all "Alien Existence Abyss Spawns." Their individual combat power, intelligence level, survival time, etc., all differ greatly from one another.

As for the third branch, it is the "Immortal Abyss Spawn." Su Xiao has dealt with this type of Abyss spawn the most and understands them best. According to what he knows, the "Immortal Abyss Spawn" branch has even more detailed divisions, divided into: Alien Species, Aberrant Species, and Host Species.

Out of ten "Immortal Abyss Spawns," at least seven are Alien Species. This type of Abyss spawn is the most common, though this "common" is relative to Su Xiao. If a Tier 9 world encounters an Alien Species and there is no major faction capable of holding the fort and willing to pay any price to deal with it, then one Alien Species is enough to turn a world into a forbidden zone for living beings. Once this Alien Species devours a large amount of world power, they become extremely powerful.

By comparison, the number of Aberrant Species is very small; out of ten "Immortal Abyss Spawns," only two are Aberrant Species. These are the most powerful "Immortal Abyss Spawns" in terms of combat power and are extremely aggressive.

Finally, the Host Species are the fewest in number, but their abilities are the most bizarre.

【Prompt (Tree of the Void): The safe area you created and notarized by Reincarnation Paradise, Wind Sea Continent, Twilight Winter City, has had its safe area notarization tier increased (3).】

【With the Tree of the Void as the intermediary, Apocalypse Paradise, Death Paradise, Holy Light Paradise, Sanctuary Paradise, and Watcher Paradise have applied for the spatial coordinate notarization rights for "Safe Area: Twilight Winter City." If this notarization is completed, Apocalypse Paradise, Death Paradise, Holy Light Paradise, Sanctuary Paradise, and Watcher Paradise can all teleport Qiyuezhe to "Safe Area: Twilight Winter City."】

【As the true City Lord of "Twilight Winter City" and the creator of this safe area, according to Reincarnation Paradise Regulation 159356, you have the right to participate in the decision of whether to proceed with this notarization right opening for "Safe Area: Twilight Winter City."】

【If you agree to this notarization right opening, Apocalypse Paradise, Death Paradise, Holy Light Paradise, Sanctuary Paradise, and Watcher Paradise will pay 156,800 ounces of Space-Time Power to Reincarnation Paradise. You can obtain 20% of this as the due income for the City Lord of Twilight Winter City (The attribution of this Space-Time Power is: Notary: Tree of the Void 30%, Holder: Reincarnation Paradise 50%, City Lord: Hunter Kukulinn Bai Ye 20%).】

【You have agreed to this notarization right opening. Apocalypse Paradise, Death Paradise, Holy Light Paradise, Sanctuary Paradise, and Watcher Paradise will obtain the spatial coordinate notarization rights for "Safe Area: Twilight Winter City."】

【As the City Lord of Twilight Winter City, if you travel to Twilight Winter City, you can obtain corresponding permissions, such as issuing missions, managing faction stores, etc.】

【Prompt (Reincarnation Paradise): Due to the notarization income brought to Reincarnation Paradise by the Hunter this time, your Reincarnation Paradise reputation has increased by 21,800 points.】

【Current Reincarnation Paradise reputation: 75,920 points.】

【Because your Reincarnation Paradise reputation has exceeded 70,000 points, your Honor Store level is increased by an additional +1.】

【Prompt: The maximum level for the Honor Store is 15; it is currently at the limit-breaking level 16.】

【When you end this world progress and return to Reincarnation Paradise, your Honor Store will be refreshed and new permissions and functions will be added.】

Obtaining 31,360 ounces of Space-Time Power for nothing; one must know that even if Su Xiao completed all the hunting bounties 1 through 4 this time, his net profit would only be 20,800 ounces of Space-Time Power.

Seeing these prompts, Su Xiao's first thought was that Lady Spider's revenge on the Beast Race and Sea Race of the Wind Sea Continent was more thorough than expected, and that some kind of upheaval had occurred on the Wind Sea Continent, to the extent that the entire world had become a dangerous area, with only Twilight Winter City, notarized by Reincarnation Paradise, remaining a safe area. Therefore, the value of this only remaining safe area within the Wind Sea Continent had risen with the tide.

Su Xiao was not prepared to worry about the situation on the Wind Sea Continent for now; he had to solve the mission on the Blazing Sun Star first. It seemed that defeating the Nun meant he had entered the later stage of this world progress, but that was not the case. He had a feeling that the real show of this world was only just beginning.

Su Xiao came to the inner side of the Silent Ancient Hall and adjusted the Mystery Eye to unlock mode, attaching it to the keyhole on the wall. The Mystery Eye began to operate.

Speaking of this alchemy treasure, Su Xiao was quite attentive to its development, but the uses he developed for the Mystery Eye were truly hard to describe. For example, he recently twisted the Mystery Eye to adjust a new mode called "Recoil Flashbang."

In this mode, the Mystery Eye could erupt with a strong light that would cause even a supreme-tier individual to feel instant, intense pain. The problem lay in the "Recoil" attribute; if he threw it out, the Mystery Eye would fly back in a beautiful arc and then, in front of Su Xiao... Boom!

The rings on the Mystery Eye clicked and turned. A few minutes later, the lock disk on the wall opened, and the passage to the central city area appeared. After walking into it, Su Xiao saw a wooden door on the side wall.

Pushing open the wooden door, he found it was a bedroom. The bedroom was simply furnished with a bed, a bookshelf, and a wooden table and chair under the bookshelf. After sitting down, he pulled open the drawer, and two "Sun Source Stones" appeared.

Only the Nun would store "Sun Source Stones" so casually. Besides the two "Sun Source Stones," there was also a black badge in the drawer. After picking it up, it actually had a blood-red "ф" mark on it.

【You have obtained the Reincarnation Treatment Badge (Permission-type item).】

【While in Reincarnation Paradise, you can submit this treatment badge to activate one deep treatment permission.】

Although he did not know how the Nun obtained this thing, it was undoubtedly a good item. Su Xiao could undergo deep treatment when he returned to Reincarnation Paradise this time; come to think of it, it had been a while since he last underwent deep treatment.

Su Xiao did not immediately head to the central city area. He was currently injured, so he returned to the inner city area along the original path and headed toward the direction of the Great Library.

Five hours later, the bottom floor of the Great Library.

Shimmering light shone down from the ceiling, and pipes and cables were coiled together, leaving only a few narrow passages. Following the passages, the center suddenly opened up. All the cables and pipes converged under a steel bed. This bed was clearly made of steel, yet it gave one the feeling of a living thing.

Su Xiao sat up from the steel bed and moved his right arm after the four Sun Scholars had treated it. He could only say that it was worthy of being the "Sun Treatment Secret Method." Although it did not reach the level of treatment in Reincarnation Paradise, it was already quite good and would be no problem for dealing with subsequent battles. As for the treatment experience, Su Xiao, who had mastered many types of Law-Extinguishing abilities, handled it easily, and even finished his dinner while the treatment was almost complete.

"Let's go."

"Moo."

The aggrieved Amu sat beside the steel bed with a dazed look, as if his heart had already suffered ten thousand points of true critical damage.

After leaving the Great Library, Su Xiao prepared to return to the mansion where he was staying to recuperate. When the sky grew dark, he returned to the mansion and found that the servants in the mansion were all there, and there were no traces of outsiders sneaking in. It seemed that the old nobles and the newly promoted dignitaries had reached a tacit understanding not to provoke Su Xiao.

The deceased old noble, Augustus, and the Minister of Finance, Black Bertha, were the most vivid lessons. As for whether the old nobles and the newly promoted dignitaries would avenge these two former leaders, the possibility was very low; both sides would choose new leaders as soon as possible.

As night fell, the temperature began to plummet, with the outdoor temperature reaching minus 10 degrees, even though it had been plus 20 degrees just at dusk.

The fireplace inside the wall was lit, and Su Xiao leaned back on the sofa. The unstable climate of this world meant that the sun above was becoming increasingly unstable. Following this line of thought, it could also be understood that the situation of the Blazing Sun Monarch, Ashlot, was getting worse, to the point that he would soon be unable to withstand the erosion of the Blazing Sun Blood. It seemed this monarch would not even last a few years.

Compared to this, one thing made Su Xiao feel puzzled: the fact that there had been no kill prompt for killing the Nun until now. After inquiring about related issues, the prompt given by Reincarnation Paradise was that the related kill prompt was being calculated.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang ran over, holding a crystal in his mouth. After Su Xiao took it and crushed it, there was a note inside. This was intelligence sent back by the irritable little sprite, Diagu. The content was that the Goddess of Fate's progress in the "Nightmare Instance: Golden King City" was not going well, and she was still suffering in the progress of the first boss. Looking at this progress, let alone half a month, she might not even be able to clear it in half a year.

Burning the note, Su Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly. The best way to help the Goddess of Fate clear the instance smoothly was to send her a teammate, but given the situation of the "Nightmare Instance: Golden King City," this was almost impossible to achieve, with a success rate of only 0.01%.

Thinking about it, Su Xiao had an idea. He took out the 【Strange Cloth Bag】.

"Strange Cloth Bag (You can put items into this cloth bag. If the God Merchant is interested in this item, the God Merchant will travel to the world you are in to trade with you. If the God Merchant is not interested in this item, the cloth bag will spit out the items placed inside)."

Su Xiao put the "15 portions of Pure God Blood" he had previously obtained in the God Exile Land into the 【Strange Cloth Bag】. After waiting for more than half an hour, he suddenly felt a sense of summoning, and he chose to respond.

Hum~

The surrounding space fluctuated. When the world became clear again, Su Xiao arrived at a long corridor. At the end of the corridor, there was a wooden counter, blocked by a black curtain behind a wooden railing.

Su Xiao sat down in front of the wooden counter. As soon as he sat down, the curtain in front opened on its own, and a prompt appeared.

【Prompt: You are about to trade with the God Merchant. This is a neutral unit notarized by the Tree of the Void. If you choose to attack, you will suffer various evil consequences.】

【The way you trade with the God Merchant is through bartering; it will not trigger an exchange list. Whether the trade is successful will depend on the wishes of both parties...】

A humanoid creature weighing several thousand pounds sat behind the wooden counter. It had multiple arms, and each hand had only two fingers, just as humans only have a thumb and a pinky. Its head, apart from the air holes at the mouth, was covered in eyes of various sizes. Although its appearance was somewhat horrifying, its gaze was gentle, and the fat on its body made its skin look layered, giving it a somewhat honest and simple feeling.

The God Merchant had no language ability. Beside its hand was a circular mechanism with two simple expressions on the front and back: a smiling face indicated agreement, and a sorrowful face indicated refusal.

Su Xiao wore the 【God Hunter】 title and took out all 30 "God Souls" stored inside, plus the "15 portions of Pure God Blood," and placed them on the wooden counter as chips. He clearly heard a gulping sound from the other side.

Neutral unit merchants like the God Merchant actually have tiers. The three recognized highest-tier merchants are: Mystery Merchant, Traveling Merchant, and God Merchant.

The chips Su Xiao brought out this time made the God Merchant very tempted. The God Merchant behind the wooden counter weighed the options for a moment and took out a black crystal.

"God Blood."

Hearing Su Xiao say this, the God Merchant took back the black crystal and replaced it with a large bottle of golden God Blood.

【You have obtained 100 ounces of Golden God Blood.】

As the trade was completed, Su Xiao felt the sensation of teleportation. When the surrounding spatial fluctuations subsided, he had returned to the inner hall of the temporary residence, still sitting on the single sofa, with the large crystal bottle containing 100 ounces of "Golden God Blood" placed on the coffee table.

Su Xiao constructed a temporary Devouring Core. With the current level of his Devouring Core, the already pure Golden God Blood, after being filtered by the temporary Devouring Core, turned into a pale gold that made one feel comfortable just looking at it, though it also decreased from 100 ounces to 94 ounces.

Constructing a summoning formation, Su Xiao placed a badge on the formation. As the formation activated, nothing happened. About 10 minutes later, the Goddess of Luck, whose hair was still a bit damp, appeared. Since they were old acquaintances, the Goddess of Luck did not put on the posture of a god descending.

"Kept you waiting. I was taking a bath, so~"

The Goddess of Luck was grooming her pale golden long hair. The next second, her gaze was attracted by the large bottle of "Golden God Blood."

"This is... Golden God Blood?"

"Yes."

"Is it... prepared for me?"

"..."

"Oh oh, slip of the tongue. Is it for me to use to convert into Luck God Blood?"

"Yes."

"Bai Ye, you really..." The Goddess of Luck wanted to say, Bai Ye, you really are a good person, but because of a sharp pain in her conscience, she could only say: "You really are omnipotent. Since I became a god, this is the first time I've seen Golden God Blood."

The Goddess of Luck's eyes were shining. She was extremely satisfied with fulfilling the promise of the trade this time, both because she wasn't summoned by the "Law-Extinguishing Teleportation Array" but by a gentle, ordinary summoning formation, and because she had seen the Golden God Blood she had dreamed of.

"Don't talk nonsense, let's start."

"Tch~, couldn't you let me be happy for a while longer? But you're right, business first. I'll try to see how much Luck God Blood I can convert this time."

The Goddess of Luck floated up, and the large crystal bottle containing the "Golden God Blood" did the same. The "Golden God Blood" inside rushed out and circled around the Goddess of Luck.

Two hours later, the Goddess of Luck, looking slightly fatigued, landed. Previously, every 10 drops of non-attribute God Blood could convert into 3 drops of Luck God Blood, but this time, the purest "Golden God Blood" converted 5 drops of Luck God Blood for every 10 drops.

A total of 47 ounces, which is 22,889 drops of Luck God Blood, gathered into a ball and floated in front of her. This made the Goddess of Luck's gaze a bit dazed. She currently had over 4,000 drops of Luck God Blood, which was the wealth she had accumulated after cooperating with Su Xiao twice. Originally, after many years of hard work, she had only gathered a total of 50-plus drops of God Blood.

In other words, after splitting the Luck God Blood fifty-fifty this time, she would have over 15,000 drops of Luck God Blood, more than 300 times what she had before. With such a gap, it was no wonder the Goddess of Luck felt that the scene before her was like a dream.

"How about I take 30% this time?"

The amount of God Blood she could get this time was so much that the Goddess of Luck felt a bit apprehensive.

"..."

Su Xiao did not speak. Cooperation is cooperation. The cooperation rules were set in advance, and unless there was a drastic change in the situation, the cooperation rules would not change.

Su Xiao put the 23.5 ounces of Luck God Blood he obtained into a container and soaked the "Dominator of Fate" in it. The Goddess of Luck on the opposite side hesitated for a moment before absorbing all the tens of thousands of drops of Luck God Blood in front of her, which made her hair emit a golden shimmer, and it only calmed down a few minutes later.

"Luck, I have a good thing here that I want to share with you. I wonder what you think about it."

Su Xiao spoke with a kind smile on his face. Seeing this, the Goddess of Luck was stunned.

"I suddenly remembered that I didn't turn off the stove at home. I'll be back soon."

The Goddess of Luck got up and was about to run, but the next second she was pressed onto the carpet by Su Xiao. After a struggle, the Goddess of Luck, who was being ridden and pressed by the side of her neck, began to feel that things were not going well.

"Your best friend, the Goddess of Fate, went to explore the nightmare area alone. She is in urgent need of your assistance. Do you have the heart to abandon her?"

"I do, I really do. Bai Ye, to tell you the truth, I actually have a nightmare allergy constitution. Really, this is my exclusive constitution. As for why I could go to the nightmare area before, it's because this constitution of mine only awakened a few days ago. You must believe me, so I can't go to the nightmare area. Hey, what kind of seal are you holding? Don't stamp it on my face, this thing has nightmare aura on it, I can sense it, help me~!"

With the "active cooperation" of the Goddess of Luck, her consciousness successfully entered the "Nightmare Instance: Golden King City."

Inside the dim king city gate tunnel, by the campfire, the Goddess of Fate and the Goddess of Luck looked at each other. A few seconds later, a heartfelt smile appeared on the Goddess of Fate's face. Was it touching? No, no, no, the Goddess of Fate was very sure that her best friend must have been forcibly caught and brought in.

Precisely because of this, she smiled so sincerely. After all, best friends and bad friends can switch back and forth. In situations where life is not at risk, the two are generally in bad-friend mode.

God Exile Land: Underground Safe Area.

Moon Apostle and Hao Mei were sleeping soundly on the plush carpet. Both had just returned from "Dawn City" and had completed multiple missions, so they were very tired. Morei, however, was quite energetic and was studying an ancient book. Seeing the light of the teleportation array flash, she cast her gaze over.

Thump~

Su Xiao placed the Goddess of Luck on the plush carpet. It was safe enough here, and there would be no problem sleeping for ten days or half a month.

"Who is this?"

Morei tilted her head and looked at the Goddess of Luck. The more she looked, the more familiar she seemed. Soon, her eyes widened slightly, and she exclaimed: "Isn't this the Goddess of Luck? Bai Ye, what happened to her?"

"Deep sleep."

After saying this, Su Xiao began to sit in meditation.

"Uh~, this looks like a coma."

"..."

Su Xiao opened his eyes and looked at Morei. Morei, whose lower leg was aching faintly, changed her words and said: "Okay, it is indeed deep sleep."

Su Xiao continued to meditate. Just then, a prompt appeared.

【You have completed the Main Mission: Fifth Ring: Nun.】

【You have obtained World Key x2.】

【You have triggered the Main Mission: Sixth Ring.】

【Main Mission: Sixth Ring: Avatar of the Gods.】

Difficulty Level: Lv. 95+++++

Mission Brief: Kill the Avatar of the Gods located in the "Dead City."

Prompt: All members of the Twilight Team, Gods Team, and Soul Team have the same mission content: "Kill the Avatar of the Gods."

Number of Sun Source Stones possessed by the Avatar of the Gods: 3.

Mission Deadline: 15 natural days.

Mission Reward: Eternal-tier Nourishment-type Equipment Treasure Chest (Upon opening, you are guaranteed to obtain one piece of Eternal-tier Nourishment-type equipment).

Mission Penalty: All attributes -3%, and you will be forcibly teleported out of this world.

Seeing this mission, Su Xiao knew his previous guess was correct; the real show of this world had only just begun. Among the members of the three teams, he himself, Elucru, Wood, Zuiyas, the Priest, Platinum Apostle, Abyss Archbishop, Black Demon, Tyrant, Immortal Brother, and Astral Devourer—the next goal for all of them was to deal with the Avatar of the Gods in the "Dead City."

One can imagine how spectacular the scene would be then; it's just that one doesn't know who will end up being backstabbed.

Su Xiao closed the mission list. The next second, the related kill prompt for killing the Nun appeared.

【You have killed Magic Scythe: Nun.】

【You have obtained 30,000 Sun Gold Coins.】

【You have obtained 0% World Source (Due to special reasons, killing the Nun does not grant World Source).】

【You have obtained Golden Skill Points x6.】

【You have obtained Eternal-tier Treasure Chest: Soul Magic Scythe.】

【You have obtained Source Quality Treasure Chest (Obtained with a probability upon killing a strong enemy).】

【You have obtained Sun Mask (Abyss: Original Sin Object).】
