Chapter 148 The Sun Instance
Around the round table sat the lawful aligned demigods. Two chairs were empty. The demigods sat in silence, without speaking.
A man in a pure black suit and a silver mask strode into this world of brilliant stars. He slowly scanned the demigods, then raised his head to gaze at the galaxy above, and said, "Where is the rule-based item I asked for?"
A starlight fell, transforming into a radiant bronze disc. The surface of the disc was densely engraved with constellations, yin-yang and eight trigrams, and tadpole-like runes.
A grand voice came from the starry sky, "Only a Night Wanderer or a Star Official who cultivates stars can use it."
Huizhang-xiansheng beckoned, and the bronze disc flew into his hand.
After a few seconds, Huizhang-xiansheng, having read the item information, nodded in satisfaction.
"Not bad."
In his other hand, he held two more items, one a palm-sized brass disc and the other a brass fragment.
Both were fragments of the Compass of Light. The former had been transformed into a rule-based item, while the latter was in its original form.
Starlight fell again from above, whisking the two fragments away into the galaxy. Huizhang-xiansheng put the bronze disc into his inventory, raised his head, and smiled: "Do you know why I'm wearing black?"
The starry sky was silent. Huizhang-xiansheng looked at the demigods again and smiled, "Do you know?"
Seeing that he had handed over the Compass of Light fragments, the demigods felt a slight relief and their attitude became much more peaceful.
Chihuo-bangzhu said impatiently, "Don't want to know."
Didn't want to think.
Huizhang-xiansheng smiled: "One always wears black to attend a funeral."
From the starry sky came the grand voice of Taiyi-menzhu: "Everyone, later I will use the Compass of Light to open the Sun instance. The Lord of Taiyin and I will be invited to the Sun instance. Ling Tuo has not yet obtained the Merit List, but he has no choice and will inevitably enter the game."
"I will kill him in the Sun instance. You will watch from outside the instance and guard against accidents."
The demigods nodded slightly. Chuan Qingxuan looked at Chihuo-bangzhu and the Lord of Zhongting opening their inventories and handing over two Compass of Light fragments, and a look of helplessness flashed in her eyes.
Then came the director of Tianfa, who threw out a full three Compass fragments.
These Compass fragments flew towards the high reaches of the galaxy, circling around each other at high speed. Circles of light gold halo spread out, overwhelming the brilliant galaxy. In the instance world like a galaxy, a "star" lit up, and the golden light rose and fell, as if resonating with a certain force.
In the [Galaxy] instance, the compass spun faster and faster, and the golden light grew stronger and stronger. Suddenly, with a "buzz," the rotating compass formed a golden circular channel, connecting to infinite heights.
The voice of the Star Lord came: "The Sun instance is open, everyone, I'll take the first step."
In the galaxy-like The Way of the Extraordinary world, that golden star stably spread golden light outwards, illuminating one star after another.
At this moment, the skies of all instance worlds were swept by rounds of golden light.
All the creatures in the instances, and the The Way of the Extraordinary within them, noticed the anomaly in the sky, which was above the stars.
The person hidden in the dark round moon heard a The Way of the Extraordinary prompt in his ear: "Ding, The Way of the Extraordinary map is opening. You will enter The Way of the Extraordinary in 30 seconds. The only The Way of the Extraordinary you will enter this time is the Lord of the Sun."
Number: 0
[Difficulty Level: Unknown]
[Type: Multiplayer (Death Type)]
[Main Quest: Become the Lord of the Sun.]
[Note: Non-The Way of the Extraordinary items cannot be brought in.]
[Introduction to The Way of the Extraordinary No. 0: The world that has been sealed for many years has finally opened, and supreme authority has ushered in contenders.]
[Enter The Way of the Extraordinary? Please make a choice within thirty seconds, failure to do so within thirty seconds will be considered a default!]
The huge black moon disappeared silently in The Way of the Extraordinary world. At the same time, outside the instance that continued to emit stable and outward-spreading golden light, a series of figures appeared. It was the demigods of the lawful alignment.
They stood outside the instance, staring at the golden star, and saw a thousand miles of red earth, with a golden sun hanging in the sky.
In the sun, nine golden crows could be vaguely seen connected head to tail, circling around a luminous body in the center of the sun.
That luminous body was suspected to be the core of the sun, or the largest of the golden crows.
According to legend, there were ten golden crows. When the demigods used their eyesight to examine the core of the sun, their eyeballs burst one after another, and bloody tears streamed down.
The core of the sun cannot be looked at directly, nor can it be spied upon.
Jiang-bangzhu wiped away the bloody tears from his cheeks and cast his gaze towards the instance of the red earth and extinguished vitality. He couldn't help but frown, "There seems to be nothing in the instance, no enemies, no checkpoints. The Star Lord is such a fool, why did he and Ling Tuo choose this place? The Star authority is for stargazing and deduction, not direct confrontation. The combat strength is much weaker than Taiyin."
"Checkpoints and enemies are all fictitious for experts of their level," Fu Qingying said lightly: "Their common enemy is actually the sun. The advantage of the Star lies in the fact that the sun's restraint on the Star is slightly weaker, while Taiyin is absolutely suppressed by the sun."
Little Sapling shook his head, "How dare a conspirator like the Star Lord compete with Ling Tuo for the throne of the Lord of the Sun in the instance without a sure chance of winning?"
As he spoke, a golden light swept from the distant sky and stopped outside the Sun instance.
Standing in the golden light was the Third Dao Mountain Niangniang, dressed in colorful clothes and with peerless elegance. Her features were stunning, and the point of cinnabar between her eyebrows was like a goddess descending to earth.
The Third Dao Mountain Niangniang glanced at the demigods indifferently, ignored them, and golden light gushed from her palm, transforming into a bronze pestle.
"Don't waste your energy," Chuan Qingxuan looked at her.
"The Sun instance only allows the Star and Lord of Taiyin to enter. Other professions, and those below the demigod rank, cannot enter."
The Third Dao Mountain Niangniang frowned and retorted, "I once sensed soul fluctuations inside this small world from the outside."
Zhu Family Old Ancestor concentrated and sensed for a moment, and said, "Perhaps it's your illusion. There are no signs of life in the Sun instance, except for Taiyin and the Star."
When the other demigods heard this, they no longer paid attention to this peak ruler and turned their attention back to the instance.
In the red earth, the sun's flames scorched the body. Both the Star and Taiyin were suppressed by the scorching sun in the sky, revealing their truest forms.
Ling Tuo had handsome features and looked like a twenty-five-year-old, with pale skin, wearing a black robe, and a black round mark between his eyebrows. His temperament was gloomy, like a handsome Hades.
The Star Lord's appearance was three or four points similar to Ling Tuo's.
Also a young man, with a brilliant nebula imprinted between his eyebrows, his eyes were filled with ethereal and mysterious starlight, without pupils.
Compared to the Hades with a strong personality, the Star Lord was ethereal and detached, like the embodiment of rules.
Ling Tuo coldly scrutinized his father, "Old thing, you've been comprehending for sixty years in The Way of the Extraordinary, have you comprehended how to accommodate the sun?"
The Star Lord said in a calm tone, "There is no shortcut to accommodating the sun."
"Ling Tuo, I've been waiting for you to enter the Sun instance. Taiyin protects you from being deduced, and it's as difficult as climbing to the sky to hunt you down in reality."
"But in the Sun instance, you have no way to escape, unless you take the initiative to give up the competition for the Lord of the Sun, but even then, you will still not escape death."
Ling Tuo snorted, "I thought that Xu Kong would persist for a while longer. In order to let him see hope, I took the initiative to send a great gift to Yuanshi-tianzun. I didn't expect him to compromise."
"But..." Ling Tuo curled the corners of his mouth, "Did you think that I didn't make the worst plan?"
In a secret space that was separated from reality, the sky had neither sun nor moon. The chaotic and unclear light of day shone through the gray clouds, keeping this world in a state of half-light and half-darkness.
Several people stood by the lake. They were the Fear Heavenly King wearing a casual suit and a silver ear stud.
Old Mai of the Wine God Club, with white hair and a silver flask in his pocket.
A white man in a black suit and white shirt, whose exposed arms and neck were covered with patterns of distorted monsters, and the Illusory God, a member of the Spiritual Energy Society, wearing a black robe and a hood.
Two Gu Dragons with dark green manes and pale scales, with bizarre runes and scarlet vertical pupils like gems, and finally a tall figure three meters tall, with three heads and eight arms like a black tower.
The demigod-level powerhouses of the lawful alignment gathered on the shore of the blood lake. Except for Asura, the other demigods showed a certain amount of respect.
The demigods of the evil alignment waited in silence until a vortex appeared in the center of the blood lake. The vortex devoured the blood water, and the water level dropped rapidly.
A dark purple knife "egg" slowly emerged from the water. It was extremely huge, with veins wrapped around the purple fleshy shell, covered with pores.
This dark purple giant egg devoured the blood water and pulsed like a heart.
"Sigh!"
A hollow sigh came from inside the giant egg, and it immediately disintegrated, turning into a thick purple beam of light that shot straight into the sky.
This purple beam of light pierced through the mustard seed space, opened the galaxy dotted with countless "stars," and directly opened up The Way of the Extraordinary world.
The purple beam of light, like a sword, pierced into The Way of the Extraordinary world, annihilating the The Way of the Extraordinary instances along the way, destroying everything in its path. It traversed an unknown distance and finally landed on the The Way of the Extraordinary instance that emitted golden light.
The Sun instance, the Sun instance that no one but the Star and Taiyin could enter, was forcibly torn open a gap.
