Disaster Strikes.

Chapter 1256 The mastermind behind the scenes
a few days later.

"Something's not right."

The first person to discover the unusual situation was a member of the special operations team who came to pick up Chen Mo two days ago.

There were only four people in this team, all of them were cultivators in the God Transformation Stage. Chen Mo had met two of them several times before. They were Zi Mi, with whom he had known for a long time, and the white-robed cultivator who had killed and bred the True Essence Demon Fire. This person was named Liu Yuxiu, and as one of the most promising great cultivators in the Five Colors Sect today to advance to the stage of fusion and tribulation, he was supposed to go to the remaining war in the Demon Valley area, but was kept back at the last moment before departure and assigned a secret mission.

This wait lasted nearly a year.

Liu Yuxiu kept wondering what the so-called secret mission arranged for him by his master was. It turned out to be so important that he had been waiting silently for such a long time. Until two days ago, when he confirmed that the target he was to protect was the disaster seeker who took the mysterious demon fire from the execution ground that day, he immediately revealed an incredible expression and was stunned for a long time.

However, this time, the first person to discover that something was wrong was not Liu Yuxiu.

Liu Yuxiu couldn't help but look at the person who was speaking. These two were definitely not ordinary people as they were sent together with Zi Mi and Liu Yuxiu to protect Chen Mo's safety.

"Mind's eye?"

Zi Mi seemed to have discovered this man's magical powers and was surprised.

The speaker is a monk with fair skin.

The monk said sternly: "We haven't encountered any living creatures for a whole day and night. This is not normal."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuxiu and Zi Mi couldn't help but look at each other, then looked around vigilantly, but did not notice anything unusual.

But what the monk said was true, which was indeed very strange!
Among the four, the last one was a female cultivator with a ethereal and graceful figure, named Kong Li. She was a Peacock Queen in the Divine Transformation Stage from the Xuanling World who followed the mysterious Snow Deer Ancestor back to the human world. She took out a mysterious treasure fan and fanned it fiercely. The power of the order factor of the magic treasure surged, and it seemed to have the characteristic of breaking through illusions. However, wherever the spiritual wind passed, everything was still normal, and no abnormal illusion was found.

"Even if it is the power of the law, under my illusion-breaking treasure fan, there will definitely be some abnormality. Maybe we are overthinking it."

Kong Li's voice was cold and she was very confident in herself.

After hearing this, Zi Mi thought: "Could it be the power of authority?"

As soon as she said this, everyone present changed their expressions, especially Liu Yuxiu. He knew very well how terrifying the Taoist ancestors of Heaven were. If the Marshals of Tiangang, Disha and Xingxiu came and troubled everyone in secret, as fifth-level true bodies and this place was Fenglan Peninsula, they would have a good chance of escaping.

But if they were targeted by a Taoist who holds power, even if this is Fenglan Peninsula, they would have no confidence of survival, as the gap between the two sides is simply too big.

This gap is not in combat power, but in the understanding of the basic rules of the world.

Although poisonous ants can hurt people, people have a million ways to kill ants on the ground silently. Liu Yuxiu shouted softly, and two emerald green lights came out of his eyes. He seemed to be trying his best to sense the abnormalities around him, whether he was affected by some law or authority.

"This is... the Eye of God!"

The monk who controlled the power of the mind's eyes couldn't help but speak.

Liu Yuxiu kept growling, veins popping out on his forehead. He concentrated all his spiritual power into his eyes and said hysterically, "Let me see the most real world!!"

The shocking fluctuations outside made Chen Mo walk out of the flying boat, and he was so surprised that he forgot the past.

I saw that a terrifying spiritual light gathered around the white-robed monk, gathering all the spiritual power within several kilometers nearby and concentrating it on his eyes. Chen Mo only took a glance at him and felt as if he was seeing his Chaos clone.

This made Chen Mo feel awe-inspiring.

at the same time.

Just as Chen Mo felt, after Liu Yuxiu activated the Divine Eye at all costs, the various false laws around him were torn apart layer by layer. He first saw the mountains and rivers that had been arranged by some ancient people. This was a natural formation. Although tens of thousands of years had passed, it still penetrated time and space, subtly influencing this place.

"It's none of these."

Then he saw a Feng Shui master stealing the secrets of heaven in an attempt to change his fate, but finally failed and suffered a heavenly calamity.

"None of these!"

Liu Yuxiu's eyes kept looking around, looking for abnormalities hidden under the absolute truth.

Then he saw the earth's spiritual energy drying up, saw a great guardian sighing with sadness as he held the loess in his hands, saw the rise and fall of a demon sect, saw...

"No, no, none of them!"

Sudden.

His eyes caught sight of a lantern with a strange glow coming out of it.

Liu Yuxiu's body stiffened instinctively and his breathing seemed to become rapid. He found that he was the protected target. There was a terrifying evil light gathering in his body, but the evil light was just a disguise.

"What's in that lantern?"

Liu Yuxiu kept peeking, and the Chaos clone sensed something. Its huge single eye opened a crack, and then they looked at each other briefly. Then Liu Yuxiu couldn't help but bleed from his mouth and nose. He was filled with fear, but he still remained rational.

"No, that's not it."

This thought only lasted for a moment, and then the power of annihilation took effect, and he forgot everything that had just happened. He continued to look around with a hideous and terrifying look, and then he vaguely saw another world hidden in a giant tower.

Seeing this, Zi Mi felt sorry for him and advised, "Forget it, you've done well enough."

That's when.

"what!!"

Liu Yuxiu howled in pain. He seemed to have seen something horrible. He pointed to a void area and trembled as he said, "The thing in the darkness is affecting our judgment. Everything here is fake. This is no longer the Guixu world. We are trapped in an illusion."

Chen Mo frowned, listened to the conversation between the four people, and gradually understood the whole story.

But fortunately, the team responsible for protecting him in the past few days has reached two to three thousand people, including more than twenty level four true bodies, and five level five true bodies including himself. Therefore, even though he knew that he might have encountered some abnormalities, and even that an unknown authority controller might be manipulating everything in secret, he did not panic.

After a while, Liu Yuxiu finally felt better.

But his eyes were bloodshot, as if they had suffered severe damage.

Zi Mi asked with concern: "What on earth did you see?"

"I saw the history of this place. This is not an ordinary area. I also saw an unknown object, but I only remember that it was not dangerous and was not the target I was looking for. Then I saw a huge tower and a ball of darkness that enveloped us. Now we are... like being inside a book or a box. I also saw many numbers, which were constantly pouring into all of us present like a tsunami. It was affecting our understanding of the authority of mathematics."

The reason why Liu Yuxiu fought so hard was not only because of the danger, but also because of the pride deep in his heart. He didn't understand why his master asked him to protect this target.

“Mathematical authority.”

After hearing this, Chen Mo said in a low voice: "The aspects that affect our understanding of the public authority of mathematics include direction, quantity, logic, size, memory, comparison, value, truth and falsehood, etc. Most of those who hold this kind of authority are the true gods of the technological world. As far as I know, the Taoist masters in the heavens don't seem to be good at this."

"It seems that we have been trapped in this illusory parallel world for a day."

After the monk finished speaking, he activated several treasures in succession, trying to find any abnormalities around him, but to no avail. Seeing this, Zi Mi took out a mysterious seed and buried it in the soil together with the spirit stone.

Just a moment later, tender buds broke through the soil, and a tiny elf appeared in the opening bud.

Zi Mi asked, "How do we get out of here?"

The elf was about to say something with a smile, but suddenly froze. After she raised her head to look at the sky, she seemed to have been attacked by an unknown force. The tender buds and flower buds quickly withered and died at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Try the top!”

Following Zi Mi's words, the four members of the team flew high into the sky together.

Chen Mo stood there without saying anything. The old Taoist in the God Transformation Stage, who led many Yuanying cultivators and Jindan cultivators to meet Chen Mo first, noticed the sweat on Chen Mo's forehead and his pale face, and asked cautiously, "Are you okay?"

He was certain that this protected Calamity Lord must have discovered something.

"I...I'm fine."

Chen Mo kept looking around as he spoke, his tone a little abnormal.

Upon seeing this, the old Taoist didn't say much, but secretly sent a message to everyone to be on high alert.

The four people who were exploring in the sky found nothing and fell down one after another. After a brief discussion, the four decided to move on to see if there would be any abnormalities next. At this time, Chen Mo had already returned to the flying boat, and the four people did not notice anything abnormal about him.

"No way, no way."

Chen Mo kept denying his accidental discovery.

He couldn't believe that the Evil God of Eternal Night would attack his group. She was the evil god of the disaster world. Not to mention her position as the evil god of natural disasters, even if she really needed something, she could just give him the order directly. Why would she have to secretly ambush him and his group in this way?

He couldn't understand the other party's purpose in doing this, and he would rather believe that it was another authority holder who had authority over the data who came here.

At this point, he can only take things one step at a time.

No matter who the other party is or what his purpose is, I will never sit still and wait for death. It seems that Ning Ying did notice something, so she wanted to escape from the disaster world, but she did not realize the whole picture.

Another day and night passed.

As expected, no one was found along the way, and everyone believed Liu Yuxiu's words. They had been trapped in a virtual world that they could not understand without realizing it. Everything around them was just a copy of the real world, except for the copied creatures.

At night. "It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this, ah!!"

Chen Mo was awakened by a familiar feeling of palpitations.

He walked out of the flying boat and saw a Jindan-stage cultivator in the team of cultivators responsible for picking him up in the distance, with flames coming out of his body.

His size was growing and he seemed to be losing his mind.

This familiar scene made him blurt out involuntarily: "Burning Curse!?"

This horrible plague also occurred in the original gathering place of the River of Anguish.

It is said that this is a kind of power overflowing from the Ash World. Once those ash creatures awaken, they will break the boundaries and barriers between creatures, constantly merge with each other, become bigger and stronger, and become an incomprehensible existence. The big ash in the abyss of Doomsday City is the strongest ash creature encountered by the evil gods of disasters after entering the Ash World in the last era. Its strength in its lifetime must have broken through the eighth level and reached the ninth level.

"what……"

A monk who was accidentally contaminated by the burning cursed flame was struggling to resist the evil thoughts in his heart at first, but just a moment later, he screamed and flames suddenly burst out of his body.

The monk in the strange flame let out a terrifying evil smile.

His mental state became extremely unstable, as if it was leaking out of his body. His body was like liquid, constantly wriggling. As the two flames merged, he merged into one with the monk who was cursed by the burning curse in just a moment.

"It's a doomsday weapon!"

I don't know who shouted.

The other monks immediately showed no mercy and tried to attack the monk who was infected with the burning curse, but the burning curse spread very quickly. More and more monks seemed to be fuel, and their bodies merged into the flames after burning. After hundreds of Jindan monks merged into one, the billowing flames had turned into a hundred-meter giant with terrifying power. Even a level five true body could hardly pose a threat to it.

"What the hell is this!"

Kong Li could no longer remain calm. She tried to ask the gods to possess her, but was blocked by an unknown force.

boom! !

The earth-shattering explosion resounded through the sky. Zi Mi actually blew up a small tripod by herself. This was a real spiritual treasure, but she knew that this monster would never die because of this. So she gritted her teeth and said, "If we can't escape from here, it's useless even if we kill it. Sooner or later, we will become like it!"

"Get out of here first!"

In the chaos, a large number of monks fled in all directions. Chen Mo and others only gathered a few hundred people and continued to fly towards the distance, which was the direction of the Five-Colored Gate, but they could never reach their real destination.

The sun gradually rose, but Chen Mo and others could not feel any warmth.

All of this is false, all of this is unreal. That kind of cold feeling keeps growing in the body. According to Liu Yuxiu, this is a kind of power of authority that is constantly being injected into everyone's body. As long as they cannot escape from this false illusion, they will eventually become like those burning cursers and die silently and completely.

No.

This may not be considered death in the strict sense, but rather a part of that strange law.

"Monk, have you found a solution?"

"No, even the Boundary Breaking Pearl is useless. I have reached the end of my rope."

After getting the answer, Zi Mi gritted his teeth and kept looking around, hoping to find a flaw.

"it's useless."

Muran.

A low voice came from the dragon boat, it was Chen Mo!
He walked out, and immediately surprised everyone. At this moment, he was clearly in the prelude of the burning curse that was about to erupt. His body was covered by a layer of strange flames, the boundaries of his body were blurring, and his mental power was expanding. He looked up at the sky, revealing a hint of despair.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the method of the Eternal Night Evil God in the Disaster World. No, maybe the Eternal Night Evil God is just her outer shell in the material world. We are now only trapped in the world of data in spirit, and our bodies have long been asleep. Before other god-level creatures discover us, it is ridiculous for us to rely on our strength to save ourselves in front of her."

Chen Mo actually maintained basic sanity while under the form of the burning curse!
He let out a long sigh. It was all because of the puppet mode that he was not completely crazy now, or he had been crazy for a long time. Madness from another perspective, endless chaotic mathematical logic was constantly interfering with the authority of data. There was an obvious restraint relationship between the two sides. Unfortunately, Chen Mo was not a power controller, not even a god-level creature. He only mastered the basics of the factor characteristics and was unable to compete at all.

Chen Mo looked down at his burning body, as if it was not his body at all. Then he suddenly stretched out his right hand, inserted it into the back of his head, and took out a chip surrounded by black light.

This so-called chip has no entity.

"you!?"

Liu Yuxiu looked at Chen Mo with shocked eyes. He couldn't understand the complicated logical relationship behind it, nor did he understand why his master sent him to protect him. But there was no doubt that this natural disaster monarch was full of weirdness and madness.

at the same time.

The burning curse began to spread again. Several Jindan monks who could not suppress their inner restlessness roared to the sky almost at the same time. Flames spewed out from their mouths, eyes, nostrils, and ears. The flames shot up into the sky and quickly contaminated the people around them.

"Chen Mo!"

Zi Mi questioned: "What on earth is going on!!"

"what happened?"

Chen Mo, who was in puppet form, heard this and murmured, "I don't know either. In the eyes of those god-level creatures, even the so-called real bodies are just some bugs they encountered in the long river of history. I can only make some guesses. This Eternal Night Evil God may not be the so-called evil god at all. Someone here has seriously threatened some of her plans. Who could it be?"

He seemed to be speaking to the evil god of eternal night hidden in the laws.

Then Chen Mo laughed at himself and said, "But I can only think of myself. Is it because of this Immortal Mountain of Annihilation? Could it be that Taoist Guixu has reached some kind of deal with the Evil God of Ashes? The real purpose of this Immortal Mountain I brought is not to return it to Taoist Guixu, but to bring it to the Evil God of Ashes to...seal Big Gray? And you are a hidden will of Big Gray. You implanted optical brain data chips in all the Calamity Creatures. Do you want to be resurrected?"

With a bang, the burning curse on Chen Mo's body became more intense.

However, Chen Mo, who was in puppet mode at the moment, was not determined by himself, but by the invisible hands in the air. Seeing that the burning curse was about to affect the invisible hands, Chen Mo smiled strangely and said, "It seems that I was right. You seem to be afraid."

After Chen Mo finished speaking, he activated his evil true body, but this did not weaken the burning curse, so he slowly lifted the lantern in front of him.

hum!
A pair of giant hands like a chaotic storm stretched out from the lantern, replacing the chaotic logic hands of the puppet mode. The chaos clone actually became the manipulating hands of the original body, manipulating the original body like a puppet, and then controlling the lantern of the stick of truth and stuffing it in little by little.

More and more monks were gradually merged by the burning curse and turned into an incomparably huge burning creature. Even Zi Mi, Liu Yuxiu, Kong Li, and the monk gradually felt uncomfortable.

"what……"

Liu Yuxiu's white clothes suddenly turned to ashes, and evil flames surged out of his body.

"Junior Brother Liu!"

Zi Mi controlled himself while trying to rescue.

Liu Yuxiu's expression was full of despair and fear, as if he was trying his best to resist the burning creature's call for fusion, but his mood became more and more pessimistic. Finally, he let out a sob and was involuntarily sucked in by the fire giant, becoming a part of its body.

At this time.

The Chaos clone threw a punch, trying to tear the burning creature apart head-on, but was surprised to find that its supernatural rejection force had no effect on the burning creature, only pure strength had an attack effect.

"How could this be?"

The doubt was answered in just a moment.

He realized that in the dimension where the earth was located, a civilization in the deep space of the universe had already developed spiritual world technology, and countless people lived in a virtual spiritual world and achieved immortality.

From the basic logic of authority, this burning curse also follows this fusion characteristic.

"The universe is a constant cycle between absolute matter and absolute illusion."

This is the worldview of the Old Ones, and it is not without reason. The Chaos Clone picked up the Stick of Truth Lantern, which contained his true body. As a dimensional beast, although he was not good at fighting and it was almost impossible for him to defeat the Evil God of Eternal Night, it would be extremely difficult for the other party to kill him.

He snorted coldly.

After the Chaos Clone defeated the burning creature, which was smaller than himself, his body gradually faded away in an attempt to return to the material world.

After failing to return, the Chaos Clone opened his single eye, and an illusory, transparent eye-shaped hole gradually took shape between heaven and earth. He sneered and was about to take a step forward, but he saw endless sea water suddenly gushing out of the translucent hole.

A closer look reveals that these so-called seawaters are actually composed of densely packed digital torrents.

So the Chaos clone jumped up and tried other ways to escape, but was blocked by the Eternal Night Evil God in various ways, as if he was determined to trap Chen Mo to death here.

"In that case, humph!"

The Chaos clone suddenly shattered, forming a vortex. The whole process took only a moment, and the kilometer-long giant suddenly disappeared, leaving no trace at all.

Amidst the countless streams of data, an illusory figure surveyed the area several times before letting out a sigh.

"It turned out to be a dimensional beast. It seems that he has escaped to another dimension."

at the same time.

In the real world, the huge data computer phantom gradually disappeared.

Except for Chen Mo, all the sleeping monks have died completely along with the death of their real game characters.
