Chapter 4062: Turning Point?

Su Xiao didn't leave this dark continent but headed toward the location of the No. 0 Abyss Spreading Zone. This place was only a few thousand kilometers from the Beast Arena, and it didn't take long to arrive at the speed of the Lord Train.

Leishma hadn't left this place, seemingly waiting for Su Xiao to arrive. Su Xiao wasn't surprised by this.

Beside the train.

"This, this, this, this one~"

The Devil girl, Mi'erwei, didn't choose to court death by trying to turn Leishma into a little animal. She asked with a smile:

"Brother Bai Ye, where are you going afterward? Can I go?"

"Yes."

"Oh? Really? I love adventures the most. Where to?"

"Sea of Life."

There was no need to hide this matter. After all, several mortal enemies knew about it. They not only knew, but later they would also ride the same giant ship with Su Xiao.

"Brother Bai Ye, I'm still young and don't want to see my ancestors so soon. Bye-bye~"

After the Devil girl, Mi'erwei, finished speaking, she jumped off the train. She hadn't run more than a few steps when she was blocked by Leishma's hounds.

"You can leave, oh. I allow it."

Leishma's pupils, which lacked pupil light, looked at the Devil girl, Mi'erwei, full of smiles.

Just then, Leishma suddenly turned her head and looked at the train, through the window, at the Law-Breaker who was looking at her from the side with red light in his eyes. This gaze meant: dare to continue threatening my friend's sister, right now, at this moment, I will let you know that outsider weirdness can also have a permanent 'home', as well as six kind and friendly neighbors.

"Alright, your departure is voluntary, and has... nothing to do with me."

After saying the last word, Leishma stepped onto the metal steps of the Lord Train. After she got on the train, the Devil girl, Mi'erwei, dared to breathe heavily. Just as she was about to turn and flee, she thought of something, put away her playful face, and bowed toward the direction of the one-way train window. This was the etiquette of the Devil race.

"Little smart-aleck, leave this world as soon as possible."

Baha landed on Amu's shoulder.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang flicked the mechanical arm on his back and threw a metal cube to the Devil girl, Mi'erwei. This was a life-saving item invented by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. At Su Xiao's level, it was useless, but at the Devil girl, Mi'erwei's level, it was a god-tier life-saving item.

"Thank you, Magic Eagle, Brother Bull-Head, Brother Dog."

"Hahaha, god-tier 'Brother Dog', this little smart-aleck."

After Baha finished speaking, he waved his wings, signaling the Devil girl, Mi'erwei, to leave quickly. His eagle eyes turned toward the dozen or so weird-eyed hounds. Su Xiao letting Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu get off the train together was to guard against these dozen or so weird-eyed hounds.

On the train, Su Xiao took a small sip of the maple tea poured by the alchemy maid and signaled Leishma opposite him not to be polite.

"The last time I saw a Law-Breaker, it was still a very, very nasty bastard."

Leishma opened her mouth with a smile. She rested her elbows on the table, supporting her cheek with her hand, and a few strands of hair hung down naturally.

"Leishma?"

"Is it important? Names don't seem necessary to me. If you like, call me Little Cat, Fierce Dog, Earthworm? As you like."

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak. He hadn't encountered many "Outsider Weirdness," but this kind of Outsider Weirdness like Leishma, who had almost no weaknesses, was the first time he had seen one.

One must remember that all the face, dignity, and reputation that powerful sentient races care about are, for the Outsider Weirdness Leishma, like the ice cream packaging that has been peeled off and can be discarded at will.

"As long as I can leave the cage, nothing else is important to me."

"Oh?"

"You are doubting."

"Since nothing is important, why did you come here with those three old immortals in the first place?"

As soon as Su Xiao said this, Leishma took the opportunity to bite her pinky nail, gently pulled her head, tore off the pinky nail, and spat it into the black tea cup. The black tea became redder. She picked up the sugar cube porcelain jar, took out sugar cubes one by one, added them to the cup of black tea, and finally picked up the tea spoon and stirred it slowly.

After tasting a sip, a hint of a smile appeared on Leishma's face.

"What you see didn't necessarily happen."

Leishma raised her hand. The pinky nail area, which was still bloody just now, was now perfectly intact.

"If we can talk, we talk. If not, get lost."

Su Xiao was as sincere as ever. Seeing Leishma start to talk nonsense, he stated his position directly.

"Rude man, but not annoying. That's fine, I can board the ship with you."

"..."

Su Xiao looked at Leishma suspiciously.

"Why, do you have other questions?"

"If you want to board the ship, pay me benefits. It's not me inviting you."

"Don't you feel this is absurd?"

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak. He controlled the train door to open, and all the one-way glass returned to two-way. The meaning was clear: send the guest away.

"You need an ally."

Leishma had no intention of leaving at all.

"Hmm, so I contacted an old friend with whom I have a life-and-death friendship."

As soon as these words came out, Leishma was blocked and couldn't speak, because she could see through the truth and falsehood of others' words. This sentence was 100% true, which left Leishma puzzled.

Clearly, Leishma didn't understand that the life-and-death friendship Su Xiao spoke of was that he had killed the other party several times.

"Alright, you win."

Leishma took off the rabbit wristwatch in her hand and threw it to Su Xiao.

"Before departure, contact me. I will continue to use that communicator."

Leishma walked off the train. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha got on the train, and the train started.

After the train had been running for more than half an hour, Su Xiao asked: "Vinia, how much did you use?"

"?"

Alchemy maid Vinia gave Su Xiao a puzzled look, then returned to the train kitchen and brought out a light red, translucent empty bottle, inside which was still the pure, faint scent of black tea.

"Used it all?"

As Su Xiao spoke, he took the empty bottle. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha patted their foreheads with their dog paws and eagle claws at the same time.

"Hmm, the black tea I brewed is much more fragrant than this. Mixing them would be strange."

Alchemy maid Vinia looked out the window. Clearly, alchemy maid Vinia, who was poisoning someone for the first time, was not as calm as usual.

That's right, Su Xiao would never hold any unrealistic hope for "Outsider Weirdness," such as cooperating happily or both sides peacefully completing this joint effort. When the other powerful enemies were wiped out, the first to make a move would definitely be Su Xiao. This was the knowledge from the "Soul Library," combined with "Top-Tier Abyss Studies," that led to the choice he made.

A more intuitive way of saying it is: Su Xiao, the Zhong Ta Master, the Origin of All Things, and the Ancient Patriarch were indeed hostile, but the goals of the four parties were actually consistent: whoever blocks my path to profit, dies! Regardless of whether this profit is freedom, power, or rare resources, etc.

Leishma was different. She was nine times out of ten acting according to some rule of her own, and this rule would change quietly and imperceptibly. Maybe a second ago, this self-limiting rule was still to break the "Causal Lock Ring," and the next second, for some reason, it became killing Su Xiao.

Since that was the case, why did Su Xiao get Leishma on the ship? This was partly a coincidence, and also because he currently had triple insurance: 1. Book of Original Sin, 2. Contract Banishment, 3. Trigger-type Alchemy Poison.

Su Xiao walked off the train and canceled the summoning of the Lord Train. The train drove into a different dimension. He walked toward the original site of the No. 0 Abyss passage. The darkness here was still dense.

While moving, he checked his current World's Source, which had reached 191.24%. Can only say, the World's Source acquisition in a Supreme-tier world is not comparable to the past.

Arriving near the ruins of the No. 0 Abyss passage, Su Xiao discovered the spatial fluctuations here. Leishma had indeed borrowed the ability to close the Abyss passage, but this method was too crude. And, after all, it was only temporarily borrowed. Even if Su Xiao didn't take it back actively, after 20 days, the ability to close the Abyss passage would automatically interrupt the borrowing due to the power of the contract.

This place was not the pitch-black wasteland he had imagined, but a giant palace a thousand meters high had been built. This palace was made of black iron, but at this time it looked half-melted, like a half-melted candle. A large area on the left side of the building was piled with a large amount of dissolved parts.

The main entrance was half-melted but still spacious and towering. Su Xiao took the instrument handed over by Amu, held it level, and touched the main entrance very lightly. It was about to activate. This was a sensor device made by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. Coming to the ruins of the No. 0 Abyss passage this time was not only to see Leishma but also because this sensor detected a signal source here.

Su Xiao walked into the half-melted metal giant palace. Inside, it was actually a lignified structure. Preliminary observation confirmed that this was lignification caused by the Abyss, and this metal giant palace was very likely a giant creature.

This was too interesting. Such a giant creature was nine times out of ten created by the hands of the gods, and the only person who could create a giant metal life form that could accommodate the No. 0 Abyss passage in this world, besides the Leader of the Gods/Origin of All Things Harota, he really couldn't think of anyone else.

This place was the territory of Ancient Patriarch Hatu. Did these two old immortals trust each other to this extent? It really was, there was no such possibility.

It seems that the Leader of the Gods/Origin of All Things Harota, after all, couldn't escape prying into the Abyss. After enduring for three eras, now that he was imprisoned and reduced to this state, he could no longer suppress his prying into Abyss power.

And Ancient Patriarch Hatu was happy to see this, and even went so far as to take away his "Origin Emblem" belonging to the Abyss near-zone connected to the No. 0 Abyss passage, or rather, hid it in some unknown place in the Abyss.

According to the sensor device in his hand, Su Xiao moved forward in this palace. From the main hall all the way inside was a giant altar. The top of the altar was empty. The No. 0 Abyss passage was originally here. The stitching marks on the world crack were still very clear.

Bypassing the giant altar from the side, Su Xiao walked into the side hall and continued inside to the back hall. The signal began to get stronger here. He quickened his pace and came to the wooden wall at the back of the back hall. He wrapped his left hand in a crystal layer and tried to probe forward. It passed through easily. This was a hidden secret room.

Through the hidden door hole, Su Xiao came to a secret room of about 80 square meters, which was empty inside. Tree roots were entrenched in the corners, and these tree roots climbed all over the left, right, and back walls, leaving only the door hole position and the wall where he had just entered the room.

This was a particularly flat rock wall. One-third of it was pitch black, and the rest was pale. It could be seen that some power was trying to assimilate this wall, but after assimilating less than half, it was exhausted and finally gave up in grievance.

Beep, beep, beep!

The sensor device in his hand made a rapid sound. Su Xiao turned it off.

He took out an energy extraction device and gradually stripped and extracted a pitch-black but quiet power from the black wall in front. This was the most gentle dark power he had ever seen, like a midsummer night.

Su Xiao didn't know the origin of this power or how it was produced, but he only needed to know one point: as long as this power hadn't lost its activity due to too much time, it would have a certain degree of "self-derivation." Any power was like this, and some were simply aggressively aggressive.

Su Xiao took out more than a dozen kinds of solutions. After trying six kinds, he succeeded in nourishing it. It was "Bai-type solution," which was a dissolution that integrated dilution and nourishment. It was worthy of being one of the greatest inventions in pharmacology.

Su Xiao brought a lot of "Bai-type solution." He took out a large jar from the team storage space and injected the "quiet dark power" just extracted into the culture device filled with "Bai-type solution."

Time passed second by second. Three hours later, there were more than a dozen containers, each as tall as a person, filled with liquid "quiet dark power" in the secret room. What to do next was very simple: this stone wall was like a well-prepared draft. Just inject enough "quiet dark power" to continue and complete it.

As the input formation was activated, the black area of one-third of the wall in front began to spread. When it was completely dark, a black stone disk gradually grew in the middle of the wall, at a height of about 1.2 meters from the ground. After the black stone disk was constructed, a straight wooden stick, as thick as a pinky, slapped onto the stone disk.

He let Amu clear out all kinds of discarded containers in the secret room. The secret room was empty again. The crystal chair was formed, and Su Xiao sat down to wait.

Not long after, a cold feeling, no, it should be a cool feeling, appeared. The black stone wall in front became somewhat different. The little guy transferred inside seemed to be a bit incredulous. In its many little nests, it had never created such a good one.

"Dudu, Gugu."

A clear voice, like a child's, came from inside the wall. It could be seen that Dudu Gugu was very happy.

Coming to the stone disk, Su Xiao tapped the stone disk with the wooden stick in his hand.

Wave~

A strange fluctuation spread. In the past, he hadn't perceived this fluctuation. After ascending to Supreme, many things he had seen in the past were completely different when seen again.

【Prompt: You have successfully awakened "Dudu Gugu." You can conduct friendly trades with "Dudu Gugu." "Dudu Gugu" is a friendly unit notarized by the Tree of the Void.】

【Prompt: Because your Charisma attribute is too low, at -35 points, this Charisma attribute seriously exceeds the cognition of "Dudu Gugu." "Dudu Gugu" feels intense shock at this. This Charisma attribute does not reach the minimum value for trading with "Dudu Gugu," but because of the friendship between "Dudu Gugu" and you, "Dudu Gugu" has ignored the warning prompt of the Tree of the Void and continues to trade with you.】

"Dudu."

A clear voice came from inside the wall.

"Gugu."

Several fluorescent white little bone hands reached out from the wall. These bone hands were very small, close to the size of a baby's hand.

"Shi shi shi."

Dudu Gugu made a sound. This was the rule for trading with Dudu Gugu: each side takes a turn. First was the content of Dudu Gugu's peculiar trade, and what was proposed this time was clearly the task from the past:

"Special Task: Dudu Gugu's Secret Task (Only one ring)."

Su Xiao had already obtained the black stone block. He took out the 【Black Stone Block】 that was "dark and warm, heavy and light." Although he didn't know if what Dudu Gugu wanted was this, it was a relic of destroying the "Dukain Family/Origin Emblem."

Su Xiao placed the 【Black Stone Block】 on the black stone disk. Dudu Gugu's fluorescent white little bone hand poked the 【Black Stone Block】 with its slender index finger in confusion.

"Dudu?"

Dudu Gugu was still in a daze.

After a while, Dudu Gugu held the 【Black Stone Block】 in its hand. A warm white light bloomed slightly, and then all of Dudu Gugu's little bone hands froze there.

"Dudu, Gugu!!"

Dudu Gugu seemed a bit messy. In its excitement, the 【Black Stone Block】 in its hand slipped. Several little hands scrambled to grab it, like a child who had obtained a cherished object, holding it with two hands, while other little bone hands moved excitedly and randomly.

【Prompt: You have submitted a "Black Stone Block" that far exceeds Dudu Gugu's expectations and cognition. Your "Special Task" has changed.】

【Special Task: Dudu Gugu's Secret Task (Only one ring).】

Difficulty Level: Determined by the Hunter's choice.

Task Introduction: Find the red stone block, black stone block (already submitted), and blue stone block, and hand the three types of stone blocks to Dudu Gugu. You can decide the category of the three stone blocks yourself.

Red stone block: Hot and cold, smooth and rough.

Black stone block: Dark and warm, heavy and light (already submitted).

Blue stone block: Hard and fragile, gorgeous and dim.

Task Deadline: 850 natural days (no restriction on the world).

Task Reward: Dudu Gugu's most beloved treasure.

Task Penalty: Dudu Gugu will be secretly unhappy for one day.

Completing the first round of trading, it was Su Xiao's turn to propose trading requirements. He took out an "Abyss Heart" and placed it on the black stone disk.

"Dudu."

Dudu Gugu's little bone hand took out a small bottle the size of a peanut. Clearly, it wasn't very satisfied with the grade of this "Abyss Heart," and it could only exchange for less than one percent of 【Star Source Quality】. The group leader's information was very accurate; Abyss Hearts could be exchanged for 【Star Source Quality】 from Dudu Gugu.

However, after all, it wasn't the heart taken by thoroughly killing the Beast Morachi, but the heart farmed by the opponent constantly dying and resurrecting.

Just like farming "World's Source" before, he farmed less than 80%, but the risk was extremely high. If it weren't for the world consciousness of this world being crazy, he would have been excluded from this world on the spot. In addition, Su Xiao and Caesar constantly received prompts about the deduction of Tree of the Void reputation throughout the process. Measuring by risk/reward, this kind of thing wasn't worth doing later.

Su Xiao placed all 45 "Abyss Hearts" obtained this time on the black stone tray, and placed the 【Pitch-Black Heart】 obtained through "Abyss Sacrifice" before on the very top of this pile of hearts.

"Gugu."

Dudu Gugu's little bone hands clasped together and took away all the hearts, and also took back the super small portion of 【Star Source Quality】 from before. Soon, in its three little bone hands, it held a 【Star Source Quality】 container each, totaling three portions of 【Star Source Quality】 in hand.

"Book, book, book."

The books Su Xiao currently had were either the "Book of Doors" or the "Origin Secret Code." He couldn't give the "Origin Secret Code" to this thing. If he refused, the trade would be interrupted. He took out the "Book of Original Sin" and made a gesture to place it on the black stone disk.

"Kiss, kiss, kiss! Kiss, kiss, kiss!"

Each of Dudu Gugu's little bone hands was waving to indicate no, and it tried to awaken the little conscience of the Law-Breaker opposite. One of its little bone hands even started making a heart shape; he didn't know where it learned that.

This round of trading was skipped.

Su Xiao did have something Dudu Gugu might like. He took out a treasure chest, but this treasure chest was very special.

"Cursed Treasure Chest (After opening, there is a 1% probability of obtaining rewards, and a 99% probability of bearing a curse)."

Su Xiao had never opened it, partly because the risk of operating the treasure chest was too great, and this was a hidden task issued by the Reincarnation Paradise, so the reward treasure chest didn't have the option to operate. As for opening...

Not to mention 1% probability of obtaining rewards and 99% probability of bearing a curse, even if the probability were reversed, Su Xiao would be very confident in opening a curse.

"Dudu."

Dudu Gugu's little bone hand pointed at the treasure chest. Seemingly feeling the aura of the curse inside, it immediately put it away. Sure enough, this little guy liked curses; perhaps it used them as food?

Besides this Cursed Treasure Chest, Dudu Gugu harvested the 【Black Stone Block】 beyond its expectations, which made it very happy. So Dudu Gugu seemed to think for a while before reluctantly taking out an item as a return gift for obtaining the 【Cursed Treasure Chest】 + 【Black Stone Block】.

Click~

A tree seed was placed on the black stone disk.

【You obtained World Tree Seed (World-level/Oddity).】

【World Tree Seed (World-level/Oddity): According to different planting environments, different World Trees will grow. For every "Friendly Sequence" World Tree planted, you will increase a certain amount of "Tree of the Void Reputation."】

【Prompt: The growth of the World Tree will be completed in a short time according to the environment of the world it is in, and will be fixed in this state. The World Tree has a total of four specifications.】

1. Sky-Piercing.

2. Shelter Realm.

3. Eternal.

4. Transcendence.

【Prompt: Currently in the Astral Realm, there is temporarily no "Transcendence-level World Tree."】

【You have triggered the World-level task of the Tree of the Void.】

【World Task: World Tree.】

Difficulty Level: Lv. 99+++

Task Introduction: Plant a "Transcendence-level World Tree" in this world.

Task Deadline: This world progress.

Task Reward: Tree of the Void Reputation increased to 0 points.

Task Penalty: None.

Seeing this task, Su Xiao suddenly felt that this might be an opportunity to temporarily turn from evil to good in terms of Tree of the Void reputation? And this task was clearly not him receiving the favor of the Tree of the Void, but because he frequently completed "Abyss Tasks," leading to his judgment in the Tree of the Void being too complex.

Therefore, after he obtained the 【World Tree Seed】 this time, he immediately triggered this task. In the initial regulations, there were clearly rules aimed at this kind of complex judgment.

And with Tree of the Void reputation at -???? for so long, there might be some problems in the future. If he could clear it to 0 this time, then the relevant hidden dangers would inevitably be cleared as well.

Su Xiao opened the Reincarnation Brand and added Caesar to the squad. After a while, Caesar joined the squad and spoke in the team channel:

Caesar: "My dear friend, what good thing are you looking for Caesar for?"

Bai Ye: "Task Sharing, World Task: World Tree."

Caesar: "Wonderful!"

The task execution members immediately changed from Su Xiao alone to Su Xiao and Caesar. With Caesar's cunning, how could he not know the risks that might be brought by having Tree of the Void reputation at -???? all the time?

Su Xiao already had some clues on how to complete this task.

Right now, he had another thing to do. It was time to invite the priest, that old friend with a life-and-death friendship, along with the three old immortals and Leishma.

Regarding where the priest had gone, Su Xiao had no news for the time being. In addition, this old friend's understanding of his tracking methods made him the most difficult rule-breaker to hunt. The good news was that he had helpers for this matter.

Three hours later, Royal Capital/Star Brilliance City, West District/Soul Zhong Ta Headquarters, top floor of the main tower.

"So, you want me to help you find the priest's trail?"

The Soul Master, who had changed to a bald hairstyle and had eight brain holes on his head, spoke with an ugly face. Compared to having eight brain holes opened, he cared more about his completely changed hairstyle. His golden hair began to leave him as the "Soul Holes" opened one by one.

Why is the Soul Zhong Ta all bald? To show off brain holes? Of course not, it's because releasing soul power like this inevitably leads to hair follicle alienation on the head, commonly known as hereditary baldness.

"Heh~"

The Soul Master, who was somewhat hopeless, sneered. Beside him, the Disease Girl Aurora, who had been pitted miserably by him, almost couldn't help but laugh. She had been in a very good mood these past few days.

"Why should I help you."

Hearing this, Baha landed on Su Xiao's shoulder and said: "Your master is going to set off with us to the 'Sea of Life'."

"This is going to die."

Clearly, the Soul Master already knew how terrifying the "Sea of Life" was, because this evening, he was also going to board the ship.

"We need helpers."

Baha started to smile meaningfully.

"Impossible, that old charlatan won't board the ship."

Of course, the Soul Master didn't believe that the priest would board the ship to go to the "Sea of Life." Instead, staying in the Empire for the next few days was the best time to reap benefits. Those who could contend with him had all gone to the "Sea of Life."

"My boss, your master, as well as the Origin of All Things, and the old beast of the Rune family, the Outsider Weirdness Leishma, five people together are going to invite him to board the ship."

Hearing these words from Baha, the Soul Master's eyes lit up.

"Yes, very right, he must board the ship. Let me think, let me think carefully."

The Soul Master began to ponder. As the prey tracked by the priest, he was the most likely person in this world to counter-track the priest.

The priest was indeed a super old schemer, but the problem was that now their side had a group of super old schemers preparing to scheme against him, especially since Caesar was already prepared to give the priest a gnome jump. ===== CHAPTER 4063 =====
