Chapter 487

"Then... respected old gentleman."

Fang Xing looked at the old man, a smile appearing on his face, as if he were not surprised by the appearance of this person.

After all, besides the Dark deity, a Secret History Worm had also fallen here, which had the greatest impact on the Secret History deity.

And it was in the ether world, so the other party would definitely come!

Perhaps, there might even be other deities who had also cast their gaze!

However, Fang Xing was not afraid at all: "What do you have to give me?"

After all, he had solved a great enemy for the other party.

Just looking at the actions of the Shadow of the Plundering Crow, one knew that He harbored ill intentions toward the Secret History deity.

Fang Xing had done the work, so naturally he needed a reward.

Otherwise, don't blame him for going to take it himself.

"Naturally!"

The old man lifted his glasses, suddenly broke off one of his fingers, and handed it to Fang Xing.

Fang Xing took it calmly, and saw that the finger's light flickered, instantly transforming into a crystal, inside which were Secret History Worms drilling holes.

If the previous one was the divinity crystal of a Dark angel, then this one was the divinity crystal of a deity!

In terms of preciousness, it was more than a thousand times higher?

Fang Qiong only took one look, and felt a large amount of Secret History secrets drilling into her brain.

Among them were the language and art of the Gulan period... as well as court secret history... and even some secret spells and forbidden rituals...

A large amount of historical knowledge poured in quickly, making her feel dizzy.

"Hmm. This object is exactly what I need, so I will accept it without being polite."

Fang Xing, however, calmly accepted this worm crystal, appearing very satisfied.

He was preparing to ascend to the position of God above Gods in the future, so he definitely needed to study the essence of the six gods.

Now that the Dark deity had been imprisoned by himself, the History deity had also divided a part of its essence to him.

The progress was already one-third complete!

As for the remaining four, either scare them or force them... carrying the might of imprisoning the Dark deity, there was a high possibility of completing it easily!

'Next, naturally, is to grind the "Six-Void Art" to the Grandmaster perfection... then, it is to devour the essence of the six gods and turn into a true "Sun" ether deity!'

'No matter where the Creator is preparing and how... as long as I achieve this, He will surely die!'

Fang Xing felt somewhat excited.

If he won this struggle for fate and path, the benefits obtained would definitely be immeasurable!

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, decades passed.

Black Ring City.

Inside an ore factory.

Bang bang! Bang bang!

The huge furnace was like the big mouth of a monster, constantly devouring various fine ores.

Beside the boiler, several figures, black all over, were constantly waving the shovels in their hands, shoveling large amounts of coal into the boiler.

From morning till night, there was almost no pause.

It wasn't until the whistle blew and another batch of people came to change shifts that Old Benson let out a long breath and wiped his face with a towel.

On his face, coal ash and sweat were mixed together, and it was already impossible to tell them apart.

Even the towel was pitch black.

Dragging his exhausted body, he walked out of the factory; some of the nearby fellow workers were too tired to speak, while others could still say a few words.

"Did you hear? John died..."

"So fast? He had only been in the factory for two years..."

"It is said he got black lung disease..."

Old Benson didn't even move his eyelids, holding the paper bag containing black bread, and returned to his room.

"Cough cough..."

The next instant, a violent tearing sensation came from his lungs, making him cough incessantly, even coughing up blood.

"Am... am I going to die too?"

Old Benson was not old, not even forty, but he had been working in various factories for more than twenty years.

In this era, it could be considered very remarkable, and he had the nickname 'Undying Benson', although it was more of a teasing nature from his fellow workers.

Old Benson didn't know why, but his vitality was exceptionally strong; he had been sick several times and almost died, but in the end, he survived.

But this time, was he finally going to reach the end of his life?

"Cough cough... this kind of life, reaching the end, also... no!! I want to live, I must live!"

Old Benson didn't know why his will to survive was so tenacious.

He barely supported himself on the table, preparing to go find the medicinal powder hidden under his pillow—it was sold to him by a wandering witch, and it was said to be made of white bat crystal sand plus special herbs, dried and crushed, which could cure many diseases.

However...

This body of his seemed to have truly reached its limit; he stumbled under his feet, suddenly felt the world spinning, and fell heavily.

Bang!

Old Benson hit the back of his head on the ground, and suddenly felt his vision go black.

At this critical point between life and death, strange light erupted in his eyes.

"I... True Illusion..."

"Actually dragged by an ant, entering the struggle for the path..."

"I am Old Benson... no, I am Leous... a great power of the Dharma Lord Realm..." "Damn it... this reincarnation actually took so many years to awaken."

Old Benson slowly turned over and stood up, sitting on the chair, breathing violently: "The mortal body... is too weak."

As for that bag of witch powder, he knew as soon as he smelled it that it was a deceptive thing!

"No! I haven't won yet, which means that bug is still there, he is still alive! I not only have to live, I must obtain power! This world, influenced by my investment... must have extraordinary power!"

Old Benson, no, Leous had a ferocious expression.

Suddenly, his expression moved, his right hand curled his fingers, and he tapped his brow three times in a row.

In Leous's vision, a deep blue sea appeared before him; in the ocean, a bubble emerged from the seabed and rose out of the water.

After it burst, a group of words appeared:

【Suffering torments my body, my inspiration leaps into dreams... I need a key, through that invisible door...】

【Cut open the skin of the real world, letting the hidden things surge out...】

"Sure enough... the mystery of the extraordinary is in there, huh?"

Leous fell into deep thought.

This deep sea and bubble were the 'golden finger' he had created for himself.

Although the mystery of the secret technique that the bug finally displayed was beyond his imagination, creating a world was originally his authority.

He paid more things to fabricate some convenience for himself, and he was still able to do it.

'With the difficulty of awakening in this world, that bug should not have awakened yet... after all, his rank is far weaker than mine... but he can really live... could it be that he reincarnated into a big businessman or some noble family?'

At this thought, Leous became somewhat restless.

He must obtain extraordinary power as soon as possible!

It just so happened that his own golden finger had this function.

This deep sea was actually the subconscious ocean, and the bubbles that emerged from it represented a guide.

Interpreting the guide and acting according to the guide made it possible to obtain what he wanted.

Moreover, the function of this deep sea was not limited to this; it just needed him to step into the extraordinary to have more mysteries revealed!

"Under the real world, there is a hidden extraordinary world... it seems the extraordinary of this world is hidden, concealed by the authorities."

Leous was, after all, a great power of the 13th-realm Heavenly Immortal Dharma Lord, and he understood it quickly at this time.

"Wanting to involve the extraordinary must be through dreams... in dreams, through a certain door?"

"Fortunately, this threshold is not high."

Leous couldn't help but feel lucky; with Old Benson having no savings, his wages had to be settled weekly to barely maintain operation, and he had to be urged for rent by the landlord from time to time; if it required a lot of money, he could just go find a rope to hang himself, or go to change his profession to a robber, a very promising career.

"Dreams, huh? Although I haven't involved the extraordinary yet, my control and subconscious are top-notch, and I can exert some special things in dreams..."

Leous forcibly endured the rough texture of the black bread, ate his dinner clean, and drank a glass of water; this body was already sick and needed nutrition and rest.

A moment later, he lay on the bed and entered a dream: "Unfortunately... the 'Deep Sea' can only give a hint every once in a while."

Inside the dream.

Everything was bizarre.

Leous collected his mind and presented himself in the dream: "Sure enough... controlling the subconscious is not difficult for me."

He looked around and found it was a ruined factory ruin: "Next... it's time to find the Formless Door and enter the extraordinary world."

Leous, after all, had the vision and knowledge of the Dharma Lord Realm, which was extraordinary.

With the guide, he didn't spend much time relying on his own dreams to enter the ether world, becoming a so-called 'Wanderer'.

Boom!

In an instant, the world changed.

In the ether world, scenes more bizarre than dreams could be seen everywhere, and the high sky was constantly shrouded in six paths of pure light.

Above the six paths of pure light, there was another pure white celestial body, as if immortal, standing quietly.

"Ah... the taste of the extraordinary."

A hint of joy flashed in Leous's eyes: "As long as I get familiar with it, I will definitely be able to..."

"Illegal wanderer, how dare you break into the ether world without approval?"

Just at this moment, a bald woman suddenly flapped her wings and descended from the sky, staring at Leous.

"Extraordinary being..."

Leous's heart stirred, feeling the danger of this bald woman: "What illegal wanderer?"

"The current ether world has been occupied by our Esoteric Sect; it is the territory of our Esoteric Sect... you wandering in our territory belongs to 'illegal wandering'..."

The bald woman looked at Leous a few times and suddenly showed sympathy: "It seems... you don't know much about the hidden world; you are a poor guy who entered passively."

"Yes... yes..."

Leous's heart stirred, pretending to be at a loss: "I... I am just a coal shoveler; I don't know how I came here."

"It doesn't matter; occasionally mortals also come here because of dreams. I will take you to see the Bai Bai Fa Wang of our Heart Department; as long as she confirms it, there will be no problem."

The bald woman appeared a little kinder.

"Heart Department... Bai Bai Fa Wang?" Leous really didn't understand.

"Yes, our Esoteric Sect has six departments, each led by a Bai Bai Fa Wang; in our Heart Department, everything is led by the 'Bai Bai Fa Wang Ying'; if she wants you to live, you can live; if she wants you to die, you will die!"

The bald woman explained as a matter of course.
