Chapter 780: Not Playing by the Rules

Little Wei Yuan stood in the spacious elevator, looking at the steel railings flashing with gray light around him.

The elevator moved downward slowly, its speed fast and slow, and the only light source around was an emergency lamp placed in the corner.

"So, what exactly did we come here for? Or, what are we looking for?" Little Wei Yuan asked.

"Then what did you come here for?" Ji Liuli asked back.

"Me? I was dragged here by you, how would I know what I came here for?" Little Wei Yuan looked aggrieved and innocent.

But under Ji Liuli's clear-as-water gaze, he felt the surrounding air begin to solidify, and could only spread his hands and say, "Fine, I'm here to find something."

"Find what?" Ji Liuli pursued.

"I don't know specifically, I'll know when I see it." This time Little Wei Yuan said the whole truth, just didn't say the whole truth.

The reason why this world fragment could exist lay entirely in the maintenance of the powerful resentment of living beings who could not be liberated. Little Wei Yuan's purpose in entering the world of resentment was to find the grudge spirit or its remaining powerful obsession, and then crush the obsession, which would end the illusion of resentment, thereby obtaining the last bit of origin energy that maintained the existence of the world fragment.

This kind of origin energy could not be mentioned in the same breath as the origin energy of a true great world, but it was also much stronger than the star pivot stone generated by the Mind-Reflection World; after all, this was the origin born of the Xuanhuang Universe itself. Even if it was decaying and broken, and its level had fallen, it was incomparable to other things.

Previously, Little Wei Yuan broke the grudge spirit in the supermarket, and the harvest was the birth of spirituality in the human fireworks, capable of breathing the energy of heaven and earth by itself. This time, the resentment of the Umbrella Corporation was several times stronger than the supermarket, so the benefit to the human fireworks could be imagined.

The greater the harvest, the higher the risk naturally.

The grudge spirit here seemed to have known Little Wei Yuan's purpose in coming, and started with a killing move, preparing to kill Little Wei Yuan and the possessed body together. And the dark hand in that body actually survived Ji Liuli's poisonous cleaning, and launched when Little Wei Yuan was fatally sneak-attacked, refusing to act, almost letting Little Wei Yuan suffer a fatal blow.

Little Wei Yuan also didn't expect that this grudge spirit didn't play by the rules at all, arranging the absolute kill at the beginning, not understanding gradual progress at all.

And the grudge spirit didn't expect that the Great Joy Wang Fu didn't play by the rules either, directly awakening Little Wei Yuan. Standing from the perspective of the grudge spirit, this Wang Fu, standing at the height near the top of the world, still had to do this kind of thing, which was really a bit unsportsmanlike.

But Little Wei Yuan was not a moral gentleman, nor was he a cultivator who fought alone; he was more often a Military Governor of the Great Tang who commanded one side, and the Lord of the Azure Void Realm who ruled over twenty million people. So the usage of the words "face" and "fairness" in Little Wei Yuan's place was different from others.

Under the condition of ensuring he could win, Little Wei Yuan was very particular about face. Similarly, under the premise of occupying an absolute advantage, Little Wei Yuan would give the other party a fairness.

Awakening in advance, and also getting the scripture of the Law of Emptiness and Form Indestructibility that pointed directly to the Great Dao, Little Wei Yuan had already obtained the benefits, and it was too late to refuse. So what he cared about now was how to pay less or no price; paying in full was impossible.

After awakening, although he still had to rely on the original abilities of this body, Little Wei Yuan could do many things. Taking advantage of the time when the soldiers were manually releasing the elevator, Little Wei Yuan seized the time to thoroughly examine his body.

The elevator finally descended to the designated position, and Ji Liuli said to the intercom on her collar, "Already in place."

So the soldiers on the upper level shouted and pulled the cable together, and the elevator stopped descending. Several experts were trying to connect power to the elevator area, but no matter how hard they tried, the current was like entering a bottomless pit, all swallowed by something unknown.

Inside the elevator, Ji Liuli opened the door and said, "Below this are the things you super-powered individuals need most: gene stabilizers."

Relevant data floated up in Little Wei Yuan's memory, and he immediately understood why the alliance would go all out and raid this place at the risk of losing everyone.

Gene fragments representing different super-abilities were extremely complex, built on fragile and relatively simple human genes, just like building a high-rise building on a beach, and the foundation would soon have problems.

And gene stabilizers could strengthen the gene structure of super-powered individuals, which was specifically to solve this problem. Without it, the genes of super-powered individuals would be slowly eroded and changed by ability genes, not only would the ability gradually lose control, but the body would also slowly lose control, eventually becoming a deformed monster.

And globally, only the Umbrella Corporation's gene stabilizers had the best effect; after all, many super-powered individuals were manufactured by the company. The gene stabilizers in the Super-Power Alliance were already extremely scarce, and they could only watch some marginal figures die.

So they set up a series of traps, trying to lure Ji Liuli away, and then go all out to grab enough gene stabilizers, and it would be best to get the molecular map of the medicine, once and for all.

Ji Liuli continued, "There are our people among you, and there are also my people among you. Below, there are not only gene stabilizers, but also out-of-control monsters that must be eliminated. Relying on my subordinates alone might not complete this task, so seeing you laying out traps, I just took the opportunity to lure you over and transferred those out-of-control things to below this.

Those people under you will take another passage, and what they will face will be monsters transformed from super-powered individuals. If they do a good job, then I don't mind letting them take away some gene stabilizers as a reward. And you, will have an extra reward."

"Do you give such rewards to others often?" Little Wei Yuan asked suddenly.

Ji Liuli was stunned, then laughed loudly and said, "Are you jealous?"

Little Wei Yuan didn't answer, just waited quietly for her answer.

Ji Liuli raised her eyebrows. Answering this question made her feel that she had become a bit weak, so she was extremely resistant, but for some reason, she still said, "I only reward people who can match my ability. Do you think there will be many such people?"

Little Wei Yuan didn't pursue it further, following Ji Liuli into the bizarre underground world.

The surrounding light was dim, with a few lights on sporadically. Office supplies and documents were scattered everywhere, and there was a large amount of sticky biological matter on the ground, walls, and ceiling, not knowing what the composition was.

Walking into a hall, Little Wei Yuan's pupils suddenly condensed; before him was actually floating an octopus-like monster, slowly swimming in the hall, completely inconsistent with physical common sense. And beside the octopus, there was a row of fine runes revealing a faint light.

Little Wei Yuan recognized that row of runes!

Many runes were symbols specifically for formations, having no specific meaning themselves, relying on different combinations of runes to resonate with the surrounding environment, spiritual energy, and even the Great Dao of heaven and earth, thereby realizing the function of the formation. And the function of this row of runes was to allow this octopus to obtain the ability to float and possess a certain ability to shuttle through the void.

Little Wei Yuan swept his spiritual sense around and found that the space of the underground world was even more broken, and many places that looked dark were actually missing space, behind which was a void full of space-time turbulence. Once dragged in, one would be doomed forever. But in such an environment, shuttling through the void became very easy.

At this time, the octopus perceived the two, and hundreds of eyes lit up on its body, and then two tentacles suddenly stabbed out, probing into the void.

Two tentacles instantly appeared before Little Wei Yuan and Ji Liuli, the tips extremely sharp, stabbing fiercely!

This tentacle was incredibly fast. Little Wei Yuan just wanted to dodge, but suddenly his legs lost consciousness! This moment of stagnation was enough to be fatal, and the tentacle hit Little Wei Yuan's heart directly.

A large patch of golden light immediately appeared on the surface of Little Wei Yuan's body, resisting most of the force, but the remaining force still caused the tentacle to pierce deeply into his heart and pierce his heart.

A hidden scream came from inside Little Wei Yuan's body, as if several bubbles had been pierced and dissipated, and Little Wei Yuan instantly felt much lighter, as if he had unloaded many burdens.

Little Wei Yuan's expression was deep; he didn't expect that there was still a backup plan in this body, and it only launched at the moment of life and death. If it weren't for the great power of the Law of Emptiness and Form Indestructibility, he would have lost most of his combat power just now, and could only find a way to wake Ji Liuli, or leave the illusion, and find a way to make a comeback in the future.

At this time, Ji Liuli was also stabbed, and the tentacle pushed her to pierce through several walls in succession. Ji Liuli grabbed the tentacle tightly with one hand, and pulled out a multi-purpose knife with the other, cutting off the tentacle with one knife!

The tip of the tentacle stabbed into Ji Liuli's military uniform, only tearing a small opening, and even the shirt inside wasn't pierced.

The tentacle retracted, and the tips were all gone. The tip of the tentacle that stabbed into Little Wei Yuan was also cut off by the golden light. And the tentacle broken in the wound was being decomposed, converted, and becoming part of Little Wei Yuan's body.

Ji Liuli's expression was rarely solemn, saying, "These are not those out-of-control things; they aren't this powerful."
