this infinite world

"This world is a plane called Xuanyuan Sword."

After a conversation, things finally got down to business. N, who had communicated with the Zhongzhou team, did not hide anything and shared his information with Qi Tengyi: "In the beginning, the Lord God did not explain the specific situation of this plane to us. And the place where our Nanyanzhou team first landed was also in Europe. At that time, we thought it was a magical worldview... It was not until we entered the exploration side story many times that we roughly grasped the overall picture of the world."

"Xuan-Yuan Sword?" Although he had already anticipated the situation in this plane, Qi Tengyi still hesitated after getting N's confirmation.

Before entering the world of Chinese Paladin, Qi Tengyi also read some stories about the game Xuan-Yuan Sword because he thought that the main god might change the plot.

You know, although the world of Xuanyuan Sword is a classical fairy worldview, it is limited to the area called "Xuanyuan Realm". In fact, Indian chakra, Arabic astrology, Western Europe and even the mysterious magic in Egyptian and Greek mythology all have their own place, and the power system is also all-encompassing... Among them, "Xuanyuan Sword III" is the culmination of them, a story spanning three continents of Asia, Europe and Africa.

"When we arrived, the plot had already changed greatly... The biggest villain in the entire story of Xuan-Yuan Sword III, the demon army of the devil Satan, swept the entire world. The Yan army you saw in Suiyang has actually become the slaves of darkness who believe in Satan."

Although he still had a sullen face, Neos still fulfilled his duty as a wise man. He projected a series of images into the air, showing Qi Tengyi the tragic situation around the world: "Those weak countries and nations have been defeated one after another, either becoming sacrifices or becoming slaves. The great powers that dominated this era, such as Frank, Byzantium, Abbas, and India, are also on the verge of collapse. Even the most powerful Tang Dynasty has already been as you can see."

Talking about the current battle situation, Neos spitted: "And the root of all this is most directly related to Satan's 'Anti-Mandala Array'!"

"Anti-Mandala Formation..."

Thinking of the invisible field he had felt that had been stealing the spiritual energy of the planes and transforming it into demonic power, Qi Tengyi was thoughtful, and N took over the topic and said, "The Anti-Mandala Formation was created by Set, the protagonist of Xuan-Yuan Sword III, when he was a fallen angel in his previous life. Mandala represents the universe in Tantric Buddhism, and the Anti-Mandala is naturally a formation that reverses the universe. According to the original work, its effect is to reverse cause and effect, so that good will not be rewarded with good, and evil will not be punished with evil."

As he spoke, N took out a chocolate bean and put it into his mouth. While chewing, he continued to say to Qi Tengyi, "Of course, this is just a superficial statement. Its real effect is actually to replace the plane consciousness, which is the so-called heavenly way, to formulate cause and effect and distribute luck. All blood sacrifices and killings will accumulate cause and effect, and this cause and effect will be obtained by the Anti-Mandala Formation. A small part of it will be fed back as various protections to strengthen the demon army, and most of it will belong to Satan and be used to strengthen the formation itself."

"The Anti-Mandala Formation is still insufficient and cannot cover the universe. It still has flaws, so there is still a chance for resistance. But if the Anti-Mandala Formation accumulates enough cause and effect, it can directly refine the Heavenly Dao and make the Demon King Satan the only embodiment of the Plane's Will. By then, even the gods and Buddhas in the sky will not be able to defeat Him."

"Faced with the endless demon army, we cooperated with the hidden Mohist School, combining the mechanical technology of this world with the technology of the Red Alert plane to create a powerful mechanical army. Li Jing, the military god who cultivated to become an immortal in this plane, has also been protecting the Tang Kingdom. I even personally led Richard and Hoffer to put out fires everywhere..."

Neos took over the conversation again. He gritted his teeth, his unwillingness evident in his words: "But all this is still not enough... far from enough!"

“So that’s how it is. Collecting cause and effect, seizing luck, and refining the way of heaven, this is simply equivalent to the Investiture of the Gods in Chu Xuan’s hand. The person who invented it is really amazing.”

Listening to the information about the "Anti-Mandala Formation" and the lines of the two people singing in unison like a crosstalk, Qi Tengyi pretended to think: "It sounds like your situation is quite difficult... or, rather, quite bad?"

"That's right. We won't hide it from you. We are now on the brink of total annihilation."

N sighed and said bluntly: "When all of us stepped into the Central Continent and triggered the side quest of 'saving the plane', the Lord God gave us a hint... Before that, all means of returning to the Lord God's space must not be used. Even if you commit suicide and activate the rebirth cross, you cannot return. Once the cause and effect of this plane is completely controlled by Satan, that will be the moment when the South Yanzhou team is completely wiped out." - Is that so? It seems that the Lord God's highest authority is still useful... At least it didn't give me such a thing.

Qi Teng glanced at the motionless Lord God's watch without leaving a trace, and replied: "So my coming here is like a timely help to you?"

"Yes, although I don't know how you were able to enter this plane, we do lack a solution now." N nodded and said, "So in order to solve the current dilemma, I am willing to pay the due reward."

As he spoke, N took a deep breath and took out an ancient object from his arms... This object looked like a square vase or a furnace tripod, sometimes separating up and down, revealing a dark vortex in the center, as if it could swallow up the world.

This is one of the ten great artifacts in the Xuan-Yuan Sword plane. It is a demon-refining pot that contains the world within it and can refine all things and create all things!

"Qi Tengyi, a cultivator from the Zhongzhou team... I know what will have the most fatal attraction for you."

N looked at Qi Tengyi with a firm tone: "Its original owner, Set, the protagonist of Xuan-Yuan Sword III, has now disappeared, leaving only this pot. We originally wanted to use the Demon Refining Pot to fight against Satan's demon army, but we were neither chosen by it as its master, nor are we cultivators who can use it by force. It just so happens that you appear here, perhaps you can maximize its power and use it to enhance your own strength."

"I know how powerful the Zhongzhou team behind you is. I also know that if the rest of your team can come to this plane, then not to mention the 'Anti-Mandala Formation', even Satan himself can't stop you..."

"Two things."

While N was speaking, Qi Tengyi suddenly raised two fingers: "First of all, I am the only one who came to this plane. There will be no more reinforcements."

"……what?"

Upon hearing this news, N frowned immediately, and his expression turned into anxiety: "Although I know you are very strong, but..."

"The second thing."

Ignoring N's anxiety, Qi Teng raised his second finger slowly.

"I am enough alone." (End of this chapter)
