Chapter 4053

"Empire Special Affairs Department" headquarters, in the conference room on the second floor.

Everything in the room had been moved away, replaced by various technique arrays on the ground, walls, ceiling, etc. All techniques shone with soul-transparent blue, giving people a fantasy feeling.

Soul Mentor Jeff Clan stood in the center of the array with a strange smile, spread his hands, and said:

"Bai Ye, the technique array for the Ultimate Sublimation Secret Technique has been set up for you, but whether you dare to use it or not is your own problem."

This technique array was actually fine, but this time the 【Soul Treasure Box】 transaction, the Soul Zhong Ta suffered a big loss, and of course, they didn't want Su Xiao to be comfortable.

"Is that so? So dangerous."

Su Xiao stopped outside the room. After observing the situation inside, he shook his head: "Since the Ultimate Sublimation Secret Technique · Technique Array set up by you is so terrifying, I'd better not use it."

After speaking, Su Xiao turned to leave. It was already dawn, and he was preparing to have breakfast. There were still things to do later.

"Shut up, Jeff Clan!"

Soul Mentor Loichi, who was broad-shouldered and fat, spoke angrily. After not seeing him for a night, his figure was even more obese.

"Mr. Bai Ye, I guarantee with my soul that this technique array is fine."

The guarantee of an Ascension Sorcerer with their soul had a credibility almost the same as Su Xiao's guarantee in his personal name.

"Okay, I believe you."

"Mr. Bai Ye, before you use this technique array, you must give us a guarantee. Otherwise, we can't explain it to Lord Silgof."

Thinking of their faction leader · Master of the Zhong Ta · Silgof, Soul Mentor Loichi couldn't help but shudder. He always had a feeling that from the First Era to now, among the records related to the 155 Masters of the Zhong Ta, there seemed to be some similarities.

Soul Mentor Loichi was one of the very few Ascension Sorcerers who had been to the Soul Great Library. Ascension Sorcerers were forbidden from entering there. However, Loichi had saved a little elf many years ago and obtained three opportunities to enter the Soul Great Library through the other party's recommendation. This was also one of the reasons why Loichi could achieve his current status as a Soul Mentor.

In the records of the Soul Great Library, successive Masters of the Zhong Ta all had some similar small habits, and these small habits would appear for several generations in a row. Later, as time passed, these small habits would change.

For example, the 1st to 15th Masters of the Zhong Ta habitually touched their heads when thinking, feeling the situation of the "Soul Holes." Then, from the 16th to the 50th generation, it became touching their foreheads when thinking. In short, these small habits would definitely change.

This made Soul Mentor Loichi guess a terrifying possibility: was the Master of the Zhong Ta at the beginning of the founding of the Soul Zhong Ta the same one as the current one?

Regarding this, Soul Mentor Loichi chose to turn a blind eye, not to explore, not to test, and even to suppress the thought of thinking about this matter. Because a very terrifying reality was, where did those Ascension Sorcerers who opened the tenth "Soul Hole" and were qualified to succeed as "Master of the Zhong Ta" go?

A more terrifying conjecture appeared in Soul Mentor Loichi's heart: for the first Master of the Zhong Ta, only the ones he cultivated himself were eaten with peace of mind, eaten with confidence, without worrying about swallowing any miscellaneous abilities. The successors he cultivated himself were fragrant to eat.

"Mr. Bai Ye, don't go too far. This is our bottom line."

Soul Mentor Loichi's gaze was low, and his soul aura was gradually released.

From his eight brain-hole "Soul Holes," visible ghost-blue soul power spread out, forming a soul image with eight arms and three heads behind him. Each arm held a weapon with different attack characteristics, either a black flame twisted sword or a lightning arrow. In fact, the late-stage soul system was the most omnipotent system.

However, this was indoors. Soul Mentor Loichi deliberately reduced the size of the soul image, making it only three meters tall.

Soul Mentor Loichi's attitude became tough. The giant cold-frozen battle axe in the hands of the soul image behind him slashed down fiercely.

Crack!

The battle axe was gripped by a hand wrapped in a crystal layer. The fierce power collision caused a wind pressure to spread, but it immediately triggered the defense barrier of the headquarters and was absorbed by the barrier.

After half a minute of silence, the cold-frozen battle axe dissipated. Soul Mentor Loichi snorted coldly and said:

"Bai Ye, consider it clearly yourself."

Leaving this sentence, Soul Mentor Loichi took a few colleagues and left. The colleagues were very satisfied with Loichi's attitude. This was the Loichi they knew. First, lower the attitude to talk, and once the negotiation was not smooth, immediately reveal the fangs.

After the few Ascension Sorcerers left, Su Xiao didn't immediately use the technique array in the room. He came to the office on the third floor, sat behind the desk, and activated the anti-peeping barrier of this office. After that, he gradually withdrew the crystal layer that had just condensed on his hand.

He didn't let these crystal layers shatter into fragments and dissipate, but manipulated them to crack in a grid shape. When the crystal layers on his hands were all peeled off, crystal blocks with character marks floated in front of him.

There weren't many character-marked blocks, and it was easy to piece them together. Soul Mentor Loichi suddenly took action just now, showing the crazy side of an eight-"Soul Hole" Ascension Sorcerer. In fact, the other party had something to convey to Su Xiao.

"Tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon, No. 1019 Fanke Street."

The probability of this being a trap was very low. The three major factions checked and balanced each other in the Royal City, which also destined that none of the three parties would conduct large-scale battles here. The act of surrounding and killing Su Xiao might lead to the leveling of most of the Royal City area. This was based on the fact that the Royal City was vast, and one city district was the size of an entire ordinary kingdom.

It seemed that the water in the Soul Zhong Ta was deeper than imagined. And Su Xiao always had a feeling that the "Star Heart" of this world appeared too fit for his needs. It wasn't that Su Xiao was arrogant and thought that all major events were aimed at him, but at the end of his last world, he had just obtained the "Origin Codex" and activated it with a portion of "God Blood."

Calculating the time, it was synchronized with the "Origin Codex," and the "Star Heart" of this world appeared, and it appeared in the base camp of the gods.

As for the causal curse on the "Star Heart," why think that this must be the initial state of the causal curse, rather than one added by others later? Su Xiao and Caesar had just artificially created a "Daughter of the World," and it was turning a human existence now into a "Daughter of the World," and who knows what it would be in the future.

Su Xiao began to think about the information collected from entering this world to now.

1. Before the mid-to-late Second Era, that is, the period when the Arcane Eternal Star won, this world was owned by an unknown major faction. This major faction was preparing to upgrade this world to a "Transcendence World" and had already succeeded halfway.

Moreover, judging from the good world situation of this world now, it was because that faction perished that led to the failure of this world's transcendence. And it wasn't that the failure of this world's transcendence led to the perishing of that faction. There was an essential difference here.

2. After that major faction perished, the gods, the Soul Zhong Ta, and the Rune Family entered this world at the same time. Their purpose was very clear: to seize this world.

The truly strange situation appeared here. After these three major factions entered this world, they didn't fight to the death, but established the "Empire," the strongest faction in this world. Even if the Rune Family were guys who were obsessed with fighting, they were also one of the original shareholders of the "Empire."

Although they didn't send agents in the early stage, not long after, the "Three Ministers" agent faction was established and pushed to the forefront, representing the Rune Family's interests in the Empire.

If this world became a "Transcendence World," then even the Rune Family wouldn't be willing to harm it. They would use this place as an old nest to harm other worlds, let alone the gods and the Soul Zhong Ta, which had stable and mature faction frameworks.

What kind of situation would make the three parties contending for this place put down their contradictions so calmly?

The answer is that this world is a "Semi-Transcendence World" that seems to have no owner but is actually a trap. That is, once you enter, don't think about getting out. In this situation, the three parties would choose to restrain themselves. At the very least, before breaking this trap, they would fight, but not fiercely to the point of life and death.

But this was also wrong. There were cases of members of the three major factions going out to other worlds, and even due to trade needs, some Mechanical God Sect members were stationed in the Void.

Changing the line of thought, what if the "Peak of Supreme Power" entered this world and couldn't get out? In this case, the leaders of the three major factions would be very willing to truce temporarily.

Even, when contending for this world at the beginning, the threshold was that the leaders or ancestors in the faction were "Peak of Supreme Power," so they had the qualifications to participate in the contention for this world at the beginning.

This made sense. But the problem was, if this "Star Heart" was really bait, and now Su Xiao had been fished here by mistake, why didn't the "Peak of Supreme Power" of the three major factions take action yet?

Continuing the speculation, the cage of this world was stronger than expected, not only trapping the "Peak of Supreme Power" in this place but also suppressing their combat power ceiling, making the combat power peak of this world the extreme of "Super-Top Supreme Power," unable to reach "Peak of Supreme Power."

This was not impossible. Looking at the handwriting of the major faction that originally owned this world, making this world transcend was likely not a plan they exhausted everything to complete, but one of the several plans that needed to be completed, which was relatively important.

For this unknown major faction, the base camp transcending was certainly good, but not transcending didn't have any impact. It belonged to icing on the cake. In contrast, the Wind Sea and Witch World, which bet everything on transcendence, seemed stretched.

In summary, the clues of this major faction were:

1. Had absolute strength in the Second Era.

2. Seemed to have a close connection with Su Xiao.

This would make people think of the Law-Breaker faction at first, but Su Xiao was very sure it wasn't. The Law-Breaker faction was very strong, but the previous Law-Breakers weren't that rich.

This left only one possibility.

This place was once the base camp of the Second Era · Alchemy Civilization!

There were too many reasons for the perishing of the Alchemy Civilization, such as they collected a large amount of Ancient God "Power Origin" and produced "Endless Origin." Su Xiao had obtained this thing before, but he used it to trade with one of the Ancient Gods of the Meteorite Star · Night Mother.

Su Xiao didn't know if Night Mother could seal the "Peak of Supreme Power" by virtue of "Endless Origin," but this showed the handwriting of the Second Era · Alchemy Civilization.

If this world was really the base camp of the Second Era · Alchemy Civilization, then it wouldn't be surprising that this world had such a world imprisonment that could trap multiple "Peak of Supreme Power."

Of course, the Alchemy Civilization had a more ruthless way, which was to find a way to reach a notarization transaction with a Paradise faction and exchange a massive amount of Space-Time Power for the notarization mechanism of this world. This notarization mechanism was:

"As long as the Peak of Supreme Power enters this world, they will be unable to leave this place, and their strength will be suppressed below the 'Peak of Supreme Power'."

If the Alchemy Civilization was really that ruthless, then the leaders of the three major factions of this world would be almost helpless in the face of this situation.

Judging by the wealth of the Second Era · Alchemy Civilization, they really might be able to afford this exaggerated amount of Space-Time Power.

What was even more terrifying was that the Second Era · Alchemy Civilization, by virtue of obtaining a Samsara Brand, sent this notarization application to the Samsara Paradise and received approval, subsequently carrying out this imprisonment/suppression notarization on this world.

Looking at it this way, the three major factions of this world would definitely stare at Su Xiao after knowing his existence.

1. He was a Hunter of the Samsara Paradise.

2. He mastered a very high level of alchemy.

This inevitably made the old immortals of the three major factions think that this might be the only chance to leave this world and return to the "Peak of Supreme Power." As for the risk.

Don't joke, now except for the Rune Family, the old immortals of the two major factions were almost completely crazy. The Abyss and elemental power of the Star Realm were gradually unbalanced, and the Abyss power was growing day by day, or rather, the doomsday catastrophe from the Abyss was fast approaching.

In this situation, the old immortals of the two major factions were willing to push all the chips in their hands into this game.

As for the old immortal of the Rune Family, although this one was not afraid of the Abyss doomsday catastrophe, it didn't think that this doomsday catastrophe would destroy the cage of this world. This was a cage lowered by great power that even the "Peak of Supreme Power" couldn't reach, so the old immortal of the Rune Family also chose to push all the chips onto the table.

Su Xiao didn't know if his speculation was accurate. With the information obtained at present, he could only deduce this much. Of course, there were some imperfect conjectures, such as the identity of the old woman, and the relevance of the "Origin Codex."

Fortunately, he could verify whether this conjecture was true soon. With his current Lv. 103 Samsara Brand authority, he consulted the Samsara Paradise on whether there was notarization for this world. To ensure nothing went wrong, he consulted about all notarizations of the Samsara Paradise for this world before the Third Era.

The result was:

【Prompt: This consultation was successful. Before the Third Era, the Samsara Paradise did not carry out any notarization for this world.】

One conjecture was wrong, so continuing to push upward, it was whether this world was the base camp of the Second Era · Alchemy faction in the past. Verifying this conjecture wasn't very difficult. His index finger pointed on the desktop, and he began to construct the most basic "Basic Alchemy Technique Array" with Aoge crystals.

If this world was really the base camp of the Second Era · Alchemy Civilization, then at the root of this world, it would definitely respond to alchemy, or even be a bonus.

The "Basic Alchemy Technique Array" was gradually constructed. When only the bottom of the outermost circle was left, and the two spreading crystal rings were about to meet.

Bang!

The "Basic Alchemy Technique Array" actually exploded. This world actually... didn't allow the construction of alchemy. You know, the "Basic Alchemy Technique Array" was the foundation of alchemy, just like from 0 to 1 in mathematics.

Not only that, Su Xiao began to feel the world's rejection that was there or not.

Suddenly, Su Xiao thought of a possibility. His previous speculation direction was correct, but the details were wrong. The Second Era · Alchemy Civilization used top-tier alchemy to trap the gods, the Soul Zhong Ta, and the Rune Family in this place, not relying on the Paradise faction.

The most exquisite point was that this cage was built by top-tier alchemy. To unlock it, one must use alchemy. This was a "Causal Lock Ring" built by top-tier alchemy.

What was even more ruthless was that the Alchemy Civilization also set up a hand, which was that after the "Causal Lock Ring" was formed, alchemy couldn't be used in this world.

Opening the "lock" required a "key," but this world didn't even have the concept of a "key," so how could it be opened.

The situation wasn't as complicated as Su Xiao imagined, but it was more ruthless. The reason why the old immortals of the three major factions lured him here was that he was the alchemy master with the highest level in the entire Star Realm today.

Was Su Xiao's alchemy talent gifted? Did he have such an achievement? No, this was because the "Causal Lock Ring" of this world polluted the concept of "alchemy" at the causal level. Any living being or existence in the Star Realm that tried to master alchemy would trigger this pollution after their "alchemy" reached a certain level, leading to their madness and death.

Su Xiao now finally understood why the pharmacy of the Void had declined to the level of the "Pharmacist Guild." They were all top-tier pharmacists? Because the pharmacy of that time was a main branch of alchemy.

In the Second Era, the pharmacy of the alchemy branch completely crushed all other pharmacy. The degree was like cars replacing carriages, directly causing other pharmacy systems to be unable to develop, no, unable to survive. At that time, pharmacists had two choices: either change careers or join the embrace of alchemy pharmacy.

How vast the Void was, and as the top of the Star Realm's extraordinary power, with this number of wise living beings, there were as many brilliant pharmacists as carp crossing the river. How could they be completely crushed by a Law-Breaker who also practiced pharmacy.

Now it seems that being crushed was normal. The pharmacy of the Void was directly equivalent to a broken generation and had been eliminated on a large scale once. The result of Su Xiao's alchemy pharmacy against the traditional pharmacy of the Void could be imagined.

This was also why the gods, the Soul Zhong Ta, and the Rune Family had been trapped for so many years and had always been helpless. They really couldn't find an alchemist whose alchemy reached a certain level. The alchemists of the Second Era · Alchemy Civilization were too ruthless. Even if the inheritance was cut off, they had to trap the gods, the Soul Zhong Ta, and the Rune Family to death in this place forever.

Of course, this wasn't the will of all Second Era alchemists, which also allowed some alchemy records to be passed down and shared some techniques with later generations like good teachers and helpful friends, but this became a source of danger because some kind alchemy masters didn't know the existence of the "Causal Lock Ring."

Thinking back, how did Su Xiao obtain the "Alchemy Secret Codex" at the beginning? He exchanged it from the Overgrowth Madness with the "Tree-Born Page" of the "Book of Doors"!

The "Alchemy Secret Codex" wasn't an accident that fell into the hands of the Overgrowth Madness. At the beginning, the Second Era · Alchemy Civilization handed this inheritance secret codex to the Overgrowth Madness. They didn't consider at all that in the last few eras, someone could master high-level alchemy by this. These angered Second Era alchemists were the real lunatics.

In fact, the Alchemy Civilization didn't want the inheritance to be cut off, so they wrote the "Alchemy Secret Codex," only hoping that in the very distant, very distant future, after the gods, the Soul Zhong Ta, and the Rune Family were all trapped to death, the "Causal Lock Ring" would shatter, the alchemy pollution would disappear, and the "Alchemy Secret Codex" would be obtained by someone destined.

As for what to do if someone obtained the "Alchemy Secret Codex" before this? Heh~, these ultimate ruthless people who polluted their own inheritance power, would they care about the life or death of the destined person or lucky person?

It's no wonder that at the beginning, the Second Era · Alchemy alchemists were divided into several factions, and a very terrifying point of the "Causal Lock Ring" was that it locked the causal concept of "alchemy has pollution" into the lock ring, and all records related to it disappeared.

This led to some kind alchemy masters becoming indirect murderers. In their respective inheritances, they all mentioned "alchemy has pollution," waiting for the pollution to dissipate before mastering alchemy, and kindly advised those who wanted to try.

But when the records related to "alchemy has pollution" would gradually disappear at the "causal level," and this causal disappearance would derive reasonable filling by itself, this is like digging a dirt pit on the endless mud, and the dirt pit will gradually be smoothed out with environmental changes.

With this premise, those records of kind alchemy masters became books of demons, inducing the acquirer to gradually master alchemy. Kindness is always the most moving. Kind alchemy masters are of course very sincere, but the problem is that now this sincerity has killed more alchemy apprentices.

Now it seems that the Tree Sage of the Void doesn't seem simple. This old guy just happened to be stuck at the step before being polluted by alchemy knowledge, and by this, he became the peak of Void alchemy, and he wouldn't be surpassed. Those who surpassed him would die by themselves.

Why is Su Xiao fine? The answer is that the alchemy he mastered is an ability notarized by the Samsara Paradise.

It was that he obtained basic alchemy in the derived world when he was at a low level, and later obtained the "Alchemy Secret Codex," which was more to improve the alchemy he had already mastered. The "Causal Lock Ring" of this world is the supreme work of alchemists, but it cannot pollute the ability notarized by the Samsara Paradise.

Of course, when writing the "Alchemy Secret Codex," some alchemy masters were contradictory and struggling inside. Sometimes their tone was like speaking to the inheritors of the Second Era, or the inheritors of the Third or Fourth Era. In fact, they were prepared to seal the gods, the Soul Zhong Ta, and the Rune Family until after at least the Eighth Era.

At the beginning, some creation of the Second Era · Alchemy Civilization went out of control. Rather than letting the entire Void be compressed to the size of an apple by the things they created, they chose destruction. Now it seems that in this destruction, there is also the meaning of not letting the three major factions get half a benefit.

The Second Era · Alchemy alchemists were not omnipotent, and they didn't know that in the early Third Era, the Abyss and elemental power of the Star Realm began to be unbalanced.

Anyone with a brain knows that the perishing of the Second Era · Alchemy Civilization, in addition to the terrifying creations of the Second Era · Alchemy alchemists, at least one of the three major factions, the gods, the Soul Zhong Ta, and the Rune Family, was the C-position of the reason for the perishing of the Alchemy Civilization. It's possible that all three of them were C-positions.

Otherwise, after the three major factions entered this world, how could they establish an Empire without even fighting? Even if they entered the cage, they would immediately find a way to get out. But after determining that they couldn't get out in a short time, they must have divided into a boss and a second. These three factions looked like they had cooperated long ago and entered this world together to harvest the results.

In this way, everything makes sense.

Plus, now that a problem is more certain, the Second Era · Alchemy Civilization is definitely seemingly orderly and kind, but actually chaotic and evil. Just look at what they did.

1. First to discover how to open the Abyss passage (not just simply letting Abyss energy surge out, but can enter the Abyss to conduct certain exploration of the Abyss passage).

2. Created a terrifying creation that could compress the entire Void to the size of an apple after going out of control.

3. Polluted their own inheritance system.

……

Determining how ruthless the top alchemists of the Second Era were, Su Xiao thought of another problem, which made him feel that things were not good. On the premise that the Second Era · Alchemy alchemists wanted to trap the three major factions to death in this world, he, as a master of high-level alchemy, entered this world... what would happen?

Su Xiao opened the mission list and tried to abandon the main mission for the first time in the world history. Of course, it was just an attempt.

【Warning: If you choose to abandon the main mission, you may be forcibly executed!】

【Warning: If you choose to abandon the main mission, you will be immediately teleported out of this world.】

……

A faint teleportation feeling appeared. The next second, a large number of invisible threads appeared all over Su Xiao's body. This was a close connection at the causal level. Once he was teleported out of this world, he would be torn apart by causality and fate on the spot, which meant he would definitely die.

Su Xiao's guess was correct. He and the old immortals of the three major factions were now trapped in this world by the Second Era · Alchemy Civilization.

Su Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly. He summoned Deputy Minister Tu, Enta, and asked the other party to personally deliver a communicator to the Master of the Zhong Ta, Silgof.

An hour later, a hissing sound came from the communicator. After connecting, it was the unique voice of the Master of the Zhong Ta, Silgof:

"Oh? Law-Breaker kid, what's the matter with you looking for the old man."

"No need to continue acting, I'm also trapped here."

"Hmm? Law-Breaker kid, what are you talking about? Old man, I don't understand at all."

Hearing this, Su Xiao smiled instead and said:

"I can sense that after I arrived here for a period of time, it seems, I triggered something. It seems to be waking up soon."

"Little friend, we should meet and talk."

As soon as the words fell, the Master of the Zhong Ta, Silgof, ignored all the barriers of the "Empire Special Affairs Department" and appeared opposite the desk.
