Chapter 345 Xie Su Returns
The mental pollution contained in the sound could drive a level 7 Overlord into madness on the spot.
Clearly, the sudden attacks disrupted his rhythm of digesting the item and advancing to Demi-God.
As the tremors intensified, a dark, gaping crack soon tore through the Buddhist temple like a curtain, rapidly expanding and tearing the entire illusion to shreds, leaving only the golden Buddha, symbolizing Wuhen's state of mind, eternally undefeated.
Only an illusionist of a higher level could break into the illusion of an Illusionist. Nanpai Leader arrived at the Buddhist temple. After he disappeared, a new illusion was born: a red-hot lava emerged, bubbling with heat, distorting the air.
Wuhen found himself in a sea of lava. For Illusion Gods, illusions were reality, and everything in the illusion was real, equivalent to reality.
The monk's robe on Wuhen melted away, revealing his strong physique. Then, his lower body was carbonized in the lava, revealing his white bones.
The bones were immediately burned red. Faced with the pain of being burned by the flames, Wuhen's expression remained unchanged. He dragged his blackened heart with one hand and grabbed in the void with the other.
A porcelain bottle filled with golden liquid condensed.
He looked up and drank the essence of life. His dissolving flesh bloomed with golden light and quickly repaired. This was also illusion, but illusion was reality.
Wuhen continued to integrate the black sphere, racing against time.
Suddenly, a large swarm of fire rain streaked across the ineffective gray sky, and meteorites fell densely, smashing towards Wuhen.
Without even looking, Wuhen conjured walls of earth with thick halos, like the tall city walls that existed in the Immortal Realm, blocking the trajectory of the falling meteorites.
This was not real earth elemental power, but a defense constructed by illusion.
"Boom, boom," the heavy and solid defensive barriers shattered one after another under the bombardment of meteorites, but the meteor rain was only reduced by one-third.
Wuhen sighed softly and raised a finger: "All illusions shall return to nothingness." The meteorites that were about to smash him to pieces disappeared into nothingness.
He pointed again, "Also nothingness."
The boiling lava extinguished, and the world returned to pure darkness. In terms of illusionary skill, Nanpai Leader was obviously stronger than Wuhen, even though he had initially integrated a Demi-God item. Therefore, he had to use the "Nothingness" skill to dissolve the illusion.
In the endless darkness, a sharp sword light lit up, like the dawn illuminating the night.
The sword light shot out, and a woman riding a sword arrived. Her features were cold and beautiful, her white hair draped over her shoulders and back, and even her eyelashes were white.
Baihu Marshal, of course, this was also an illusion. Baihu Marshal drove the sword light, rushing straight towards Wuhen. From hundreds of meters away, the sharp sword energy had already pierced Wuhen, making him riddled with holes and covered in blood.
Wuhen dragged his heart with one hand and twisted in the void with the other, conjuring an old man with kind face and white hair.
The old man only existed for a second before dissipating. This old man was the Lord of the Central Court, the highest ranking existence among the five alliance leaders. Wuhen's rank was insufficient to conjure him.
In the contest of high-level Illusionists, illusions need to abide by two rules. First, they must follow the logic of reality. Things that exist in reality can be freely transformed, but things that do not exist in reality cannot be displayed in the form of illusion.
Furthermore, if earth monsters are defensive professions in reality, then in illusion, earth monsters cannot have high agility and high output.
The second is the limitation of one's own level.
Illusion Gods can conjure people and things of the same level, but Peak Overlords cannot conjure Demi-God level powerhouses.
At this moment, Baihu Marshal arrived.
At the critical moment, Wuhen thought of a solution. He conjured a tattered cotton quilt and covered himself with it.
The brilliant sword energy was like a training rainbow, containing the destructive aura of breaking everything. It all crashed into the tattered cotton quilt, stirring up a dazzling sword light.
Wuhen, wrapped in the quilt, stood still. A cotton quilt for the timid!
A rule-based item at the Overlord stage. Once wrapped in the quilt, it became indestructible. No attack in the world could break through the quilt's defense, because it was the rule.
Baihu Marshal took a deep look at the tattered cotton quilt and disappeared back into the darkness.
Nanpai Leader did not continue to attack, seeming to have given up, waiting for the usage time of the cotton quilt to end.
Illusions need to conform to the logic of reality. The cost of conjured items is equal to the real product. If Wuhen stayed huddled in the quilt, he would be permanently sealed by the quilt after the time was up.
The usage time of the cotton quilt was four hours.
"Ling Tuo, are you not coming out yet?" A ethereal and deep voice came from the darkness.
The next second, a vast amount of Yin energy descended. A large amount of Yin energy condensed into Yin clouds, rolling in layers in the high sky. Countless hideous ghost faces loomed in the dark clouds.
The sound of ghosts crying echoed throughout the illusionary space. As soon as this Taiyin Night Wanderer, who specialized in Night Wandering, descended, he transformed this illusion into a ghostly hell.
A bright, flawless full moon rose from the vast and terrifying black cloud. The clear moonlight broke through the clouds, bringing silver-like moonlight. Bathed in the moonlight, the Wraith's aura soared, and their hideous faces...
Countless pairs of sharp claws stretched out from the clouds and waved, circling above Wuhen's head, like hungry hyenas.
The moonlight shone on Wuhen's body, and the tattered cotton quilt dissolved like foam. It was secretly eroded by the power of Taiyin.
The fierce ghosts in the black cloud howled and rushed towards him, like a group of piranhas smelling blood, rushing forward.
……
"Let me sort it out, sort it out." Zhang Yuanqing sat by the stone table, his thoughts racing.
According to the Old Ancestor, the end of each profession represents a certain permission of this game. Then, the Musician should correspond to the potion, resurrection coin, and the section of the program that manages the refreshment of the spring water.
The Scholar is the manager of each map, the manufacturing and synthesis of weapons, the drop rate of materials, and so on.
The Void (Merchant) profession is obviously the trading system of the game, the Myriad Worlds Mall, isn't it the shop in the game!
Each Lawful profession "controls" a piece of the program. What permissions do Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, and the Lawful professions outside the border represent? What permissions does the Night Wanderer manage?
Zhang Yuanqing thought for a few seconds, and his eyes lit up. The prophecy of the Light Compass is: The sun, moon, and stars will return to their positions, and the Gods sleeping in chaos will awaken. The King sitting on the divine throne will lead the Gods to restart the war, and the world will enter a new cycle.
Combined with this prophecy, we can actually analyze that the Night Wanderer is a planner in the many administrators, a planner who can update the version!
As we all know, the third district has not yet opened. The content of the Light Compass's prophecy actually refers to the planner going online, the version being updated, and the third district being opened.
Then all the Lawful professions will be in place to start the war against the Evil camp.
So, what role does the Evil camp play in The Way of the Extraordinary? Zhang Yuanqing has already sorted it out at this time.
Virus!
The Evil profession does not have a Demi-God stage, which means they do not have all the permissions, which means they are not administrators. That is to say, the Evil profession is an alien creature.
It's a virus!
In this way, I can solve most of the secrets of The Way of the Extraordinary.
The game, The Way of the Extraordinary, was born in ancient times. The Supreme Emperor was the first generation of administrators. Players (Earth creatures) constantly upgrade and evolve in the game until one day, a group of meteorites hit the Earth, bringing the virus. The virus caused a devastating blow to the ecological balance of The Way of the Extraordinary, leading to the death of Nuwa, the extinction of ancient cultivators, and the shutdown of The Way of the Extraordinary.
In that catastrophe, Nuwa built a firewall and temporarily wiped out the virus in The Way of the Extraordinary, but it was not completely eliminated. The virus was still stubbornly rooted in the system of The Way of the Extraordinary. Thus, there were Lawful and Evil camps.
Therefore, the conflict between the Lawful and Evil camps is actually the war between the program's Lawful professional administrators and the virus.
Collect the administrator permissions scattered in the instances of The Way of the Extraordinary, regain control of this game, and then destroy the virus.
Then the mission of the Evil profession is not difficult to guess - stop the administrator, and then take control of the game, The Way of the Extraordinary.
Now, Zhang Yuanqing still has three doubts that have not been resolved. Why would the Evil profession invest in the Night Wanderer? The Night Wanderer is a Lawful profession. Logically speaking, they should naturally stand on the side of the administrator and be opposed to the virus, unless there is another secret behind the Night Wanderer profession.
Second, who developed the game, The Way of the Extraordinary?
Third, where did the virus come from?
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanqing glanced at Xie Old Ancestor.
"Don't look at me. When you marry the Xie family girl one day and have a child, I will tell you all the information." The boy said lightly.
"Why has it become about having a child again!" Zhang Yuanqing curled his lips. "After I have a child, are you going to say that I have to have ten?"
"That won't happen." The boy stretched out his greasy hand and rubbed it on Zhang Yuanqing's shoulder. "When you have a child with the Xie family girl, I will promise to let your child be the head of the Xie family, but they must be surnamed Xie! As for the children you have with other women, they can be surnamed after you."
Zhang Yuanqing raised his eyebrows. He finally realized the ambition of the Xie family's Old Ancestor. He wanted to use his bloodline to expand the Night Wanderer branch for the Xie family.
Just imagine, with Yuan Shi Tianzun's talent, there will definitely be Night Wanderers born to his children in the future. The more children he has, the more Night Wanderers there will be.
In this way, the Xie family will have a considerable number of Night Wanderers, and the family's power will rise.
However, this old thief is quite frank, with a generous personality. He gives high-level secrets as soon as they are requested, which is much better than those riddle-solving people I've met.
Zhang Yuanqing quite appreciated the Old Ancestor's personality. This was a Demi-God who could be deeply associated with.
He was in a good mood after uncovering the secrets of the Way of the Extraordinary. He didn't even think about the danger he was in. He raised his wine glass and said, "Old Ancestor, you are my ancestor from now on."
Drink, drink. In the future, when I marry Little Green Tea and Palace Master, this will be a solid ancestor.
Well, before the crab feast ends, I'll flatter him again. Maybe I can get a few bottles of Essence of Life. He said sincerely, "By the way, Old Ancestor, I heard that Xie Su, the leader of the Xie family, is still in The Way of the Extraordinary?"
Zhang Yuanqing didn't forget his promise to Little Green Tea. "Ling Xi said that the Siming Palace is not difficult, and there are instance strategies. Logically speaking, he should have come out long ago. Has he encountered an accident, such as a hidden mission? According to his experience, the Siming Palace has already been cleared, and Xie Su's strength is sufficient, so the only possibility is that he triggered a hidden mission."
Old Ancestor said lightly: "Anything is possible!"
This is too perfunctory, Zhang Yuanqing muttered in his heart.
The boy sneered, "Once you enter an instance, life and death are up to fate. It's best to come out alive, but if you can't, that's fate. Don't think about it, drink, drink."
As one of the first The Way of the Extraordinary, he had experienced too many similar things, watching his lovers, children, and grandchildren return to The Way of the Extraordinary one after another. He had already seen it all.
"Old Ancestor is open-minded, you should live in the moment." Zhang Yuanqing raised his glass hypocritically. As they raised their glasses, the two of them looked towards the courtyard gate.
The sound of rapid high heels came, and then Xie Qin's report sounded outside the door: "Old Ancestor, the Head of the Family has returned. He has something urgent to see you!"
