Devouring the Stars: Reboot, Serpent of Eternity!

Chapter 407: Daring, plotting against the world?
The mission titled "Trial of the Catacombs" is pretty concise.

"Option 1: Cave Trial

Mission content: Go to the cave to wipe out the Zerg

mission rewards:

——As the Lord of Law, kill the Lord of Law/True God/Void True God-level Destruction Zerg, and you will get 1/1/100 contribution points;

——As a true god, kill a true god/void true god/eternal true god-level destroyer Zerg, and you will receive 1/1/100 contribution points. 」

Kill across two major levels?

Jiang Zhe narrowed his eyes slightly, his mind turning.

Cultivation tasks should not be as difficult as promotion tasks. If they are listed, they must have a high degree of achievability.

Destroy the Zerg?

Zerg?

Jiang Zhe thought of the Zerg in the primitive universe. The Zerg warriors only had life levels but their combat power was not high. Could it be that the "Zerg of Destruction" also had similar defects?

"Shi Ling, how strong are the Zerg warriors?"

"Master, the Zerg warriors born from the destruction of the Zerg nest are essentially the same as practitioners of the same level. The physical attacks they unleash on a single unit are genuine, without any discount... However, because they are connected in mind and have the same power, the combined power of their attacks is even more powerful."

Shi Ling changed the subject and said, "But they have a fatal flaw."

Jiang Zhe thought about the world beast that was suspected to be the template of the Zerg Destroyer, and then considered what the "Liu Chongshan" lineage was good at, and made some guesses.

He asked first: "It's the soul, right? They have weak wills?"

"Haha, you are worthy of being my master, you are really smart!" Shi Ling continued, "The reproduction ability of the Destruction Insect Nest is very strong, and it can give birth to a large number of Destruction Insect Warriors, and they are all at the level of the Lord of Laws... There is no absolutely perfect life in the world! The price they pay is low intelligence, weak will, and being suppressed by the Soul Secrets... Hehe, unfortunately, the Soul Secrets happen to be the specialty of the 'Liu Chongshan' lineage, especially the illusion type. The inheritors of the 'Liu Chongshan' who have learned the true teachings can easily deal with the Destruction Insect Warriors."

Jiang Zhe's eyes lit up.

Weak will? That's right up my alley.

Jiang Zhe shifted his gaze to the other killing missions below. Compared to the "Cave Trial" which was troublesome and offered little reward, Jiang Zhe had no interest in it at all and left the "Confidential Building".

In the dim hall lit by torches, Jiang Zhe pushed open the door on the far left and stepped into the thick black fog.

——Treasure Pavilion!

Hanging above the bright palace was a blue ball of light as big as the Earth. Wherever the warm light fell, gravity was unbalanced. If Jiang Zhe hadn’t been suppressing his divine body, even he would have floated up involuntarily.

"Master, whatever you want, as long as it is available in the 'Liufeng World', whether it is a treasure or a natural treasure, you can find it here."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhe looked up at the huge blue ball and made a request.

"Qingyuan Spiritual Essence."

A few strands of floating blue light condensed, and a panel appeared in front of Jiang Zhe.

On the panel, there is a tilted large green gourd on the left, and a note composed of mysterious characters on the right.

"Name: Qingyuan Spiritual Essence
Level: True God
Origin: Tree Ancestor Tribe, Void Level Tree Ancestor
Current quantity: 4227 drops

Price: 1 contribution points/drop (elite disciples enjoy % discount/core disciples enjoy % discount)
Function: cleanse the soul, inspire spiritual light, increase understanding, and belong to the enlightenment resource"

Seeing the price of "Qingyuan Spiritual Marrow", Jiang Zhe felt helpless.

Is this considered a poor family with a rich road? The valuable things in the Shuzu tribe were probably brought out by himself.

"Shi Ling, what is the normal output of Qingyuan Spiritual Marrow?"

"Master, normally 10 drops are produced in 18 trillion epochs, 8 of which must be handed over to 'Liu Chong Shan', so no promotion tasks or training tasks related to 'Qing Yuan Ling Marrow' will be refreshed in the confidential building."

Jiang Zhe nodded slightly and made his next request to the blue ball.

"A mechanical treasure that can help a 10th-order True God fight against the Void True God."

After waiting for a few moments, Jiang Zhe made a choice from the panels that appeared in front of him.

「Name: Senra-kun

Level: True God
Category: Mechanical Arcana
Place of production: Liuchongshan

Price: 60 Contribution Points
Function: After stimulating all centers, the user's speed, defense, resistance, and attack are comprehensively improved, with an upper limit of two levels. "

「Name: Kashiwagi Kai

Level: Void God Level
Category: Field-based mechanical treasure

Place of production: Liuchongshan

Price: 700 Contribution Points
Function: Expand the cypress domain, bind, suppress, and destroy the target trapped in the domain.

exchange!

Elite disciples enjoyed a 684% discount, and a total of million contribution points were deducted. Jiang Zhe obtained two wood-attributed mechanical treasures.

Before leaving the Tree Ancestor Tribe, he secretly sensed that the powerful True God who ranked below his adoptive father "Ye Lingjun" had a lush breath of life in his divine power, and it was obvious that he was a True God who was proficient in the original laws of wood.

These two mechanical treasures are just perfect for it.

After all, the Tree Ancestor Tribe was his first stop when he came to this world, and they helped him with all their might. Jiang Zhe was willing to give back to them to the best of his ability.

Just a few million contribution points, for him to earn more would be as easy as eating and drinking.

The brightness of the earth-sized blue light ball increased a bit, and several floating strands of light intertwined with each other, forming the phantoms of two treasures, and then the phantoms condensed and appeared in the internal storage space of the stone tablet.

"A treasure that is beneficial to the soul, stimulates the soul's potential, and improves or temporarily increases understanding."

Panels appeared in front of Jiang Zhe, showing the natural treasures that the True Gods and Void True Gods coveted.

Following Shi Ling's recommendation, Jiang Zhe quickly made his choice and started shopping.

“True God Level, Mixed Thunder Elixir, 100 drops, 100 million contribution points;

True God Level, Yingkong Soul Mother Spinal Fluid, 10 tubes, 100 million contribution points;

True God level, Lingying Grass, 3 plants, 27 contribution points.

……

Void True God Level, Soul-Fixing Pill Bead, 1, 178 million contribution points;

……

Eternal True God Level, World Stone (Small) - Origin Soul Stone, 1 piece, 3000 million contribution points;

Eternal True God Level, World Stone (Small) - Soul Destruction Stone, 1 piece, 3200 million contribution points;

Eternal True God Level, Nightmare Jade (the whole piece is 10 kilometers high), 1 piece, 2200 million contribution points. "

Contribution points were taken away one by one, and Jiang Zhe's heart felt like it was being stabbed and bleeding. The only comfort he felt was when he saw the treasures emitting a cold aura that appeared in the shipai space.

"Even though I get a 9400% discount as an elite disciple, it still cost me more than 1000 million contribution points. Adding the two treasures I got earlier, I only have a little over million contribution points left. Uh..."

Jiang Zhe paused and scratched his head. "It doesn't seem to be too little. It should be about the same as the 'liquidity' of the Void Gods, right?"

"Shi Ling, the formula you mentioned had better be useful." "It's guaranteed to be useful, Master! The precious liquid prepared with this formula is the best aid for the Void True Gods to realize the source of the law and break through to the Eternal True God. The success rate of breakthrough after assembling this precious liquid is as high as 3%! It will temporarily alienate your soul in the most suitable direction, making your mind extremely ethereal without any distracting thoughts, and elevating your comprehension to the extreme... Although I don't know what your purpose is, if you want to achieve the state you described, this precious liquid is absolutely suitable."

Shi Ling said confidently: "If it doesn't work, I'm afraid there is no other way to do it in the "Liufeng World" except asking the gods for help."

'The soul is temporarily alienated? Alienated in the direction that best suits it?'

"I can roughly guess in which direction my soul will be transformed... If it works, what I have planned will also work!"

Jiang Zhe gathered his scattered thoughts and said to Shi Ling, "Let's go, it's time to move."

Shi Ling was surprised and asked, "Master, there is also the Daozang Tower. Aren't you going to choose secret methods or secret arts? As an elite disciple, you can browse the 1st and 2nd floors of the Daozang Tower at will without any contribution point expenditure."

"First floor, second floor? What level of secret techniques and secret arts are contained there?"

"Master, the first level corresponds to the level of the Lord of Laws; the second level corresponds to the level of the True God."

"Then I have no interest in it. I am not at the stage where I need to settle down yet. The things inside will not be of much use to me in a short period of time... Let's leave the Daozang Tower for later."

"Yes, Master."

As the stone spirit responded, Jiang Zhe's consciousness withdrew from the virtual space constructed by the stone tablet.

……

Inside the bamboo building, Jiang Zhe, who was sitting cross-legged on a jade cushion, opened his eyes, sensed something, raised his eyebrows slightly, stood up and hurried downstairs.

open the door.

He saw a white-haired young man in a green robe with a white dragon shadow surrounding him, standing in the yard, smiling at him as he pushed the door open.

"Greetings, Lord God." Jiang Zhe bowed respectfully.

"Yes." Lord Fenlun nodded in satisfaction. "Zhe, it's amazing that you have become an elite disciple in such a short time. As for my purpose, I'm sure you have guessed it. I am sending you to Chongluan Mountain."

"Thank you for your help, Lord God." Jiang Zhe bowed again.

The white-haired man in green robe waved his sleeves, and Jiang Zhe felt a surge of powerful force that almost suffocated him.

Then, everything started to spin.

When I came to my senses, I had arrived in front of a dark mountain range that was nearly ten thousand light years high.

It is made up of countless strangely shaped dark rocks stacked together, almost a real version of the mountains embroidered on the tokens and disciples' robes.

Not far in front of him, there was a giant man with eight arms, who was covered in heavy black armor and looked like a black tower.

Although he deliberately restrained his breath, Jiang Zhe could feel the oppression of the will of the Eternal True God from the cold light shining through the "T"-shaped gap in his helmet.

"Elite disciple, Zhe, pays homage to the God." Jiang Zhe bowed.

"My name is Chong'a, the director of Chongluan Mountain." The heavily armored giant introduced himself and continued, "Zhe, I heard from Fenlun about your situation. You are indeed a rare talent. He asked me to give you an opportunity. Are you willing to take it?"

"I am willing. I would love to have you." Jiang Zhe's face lit up and he quickly said, "Thank you two gods for your support."

"Hmph, relax. There aren't so many rules here. Take out your name tag."

Jiang Zhe took out his stone tablet... no, it was now a yellow bronze tablet.

The giant man in heavy armor pointed his finger, and a stream of light shot into the bronze plate.

In his mind, the stone spirit reminded him, "Master, the Lord God has designated a residence for us."

"In the stone chamber at No. 72 in Qianling District, there is a Void True God who died in the 'Gravel Tribulation'. His legacy is a great opportunity for you."

Jiang Zhe was surprised: "Gravel Tribulation?"

"Yes, Chongluan Mountain is not always peaceful. Just like Liufeng Valley has the 'wind disaster', Chongluan Mountain also has the 'gravel disaster'... When you enter the mountains, the abnormal gravity will be imposed on your body and soul, which can help you calm down and focus more easily, and also sharpen your will... But if you don't make a breakthrough within 1000 trillion epochs, the 'gravel disaster' will come and try to crush your body and soul. If you can survive it, you can buy another 1000 trillion epochs of breathing space. At that time, should you stay and try to break through or withdraw from Liuzhong Mountain? You should make a choice."

"The only thing you need to pay attention to in "Chongluan Mountain" is the 'Gravel Tribulation'. For the rest, the auxiliary spirit in the nameplate in your hand will tell you."

"I hope you can enter the core level and be on par with us. Come on."

After a word of encouragement, the figure of the heavily armored giant disappeared.

……

The yellow bronze plate led the way in front. Jiang Zhe followed Shi Ling's instructions and found No. 72 Qianling District.

It is said to be a stone chamber, but in fact it is a complete, independent dark rock. It is one of the billions of huge dark rocks of strange shapes that make up the "Chongluan Mountain".

The bronze plate was affixed to the stone wall. After completing the certification, Jiang Zhe flew straight over. Touching the stone wall was like crashing into the water, blending into it, leaving only ripples.

Stone interior.

Passing through the magnificent hall, Jiang Zhe pushed open the door of the living room, or training room, at the back and saw treasures everywhere.

"Hey, where's the body? The body of the Void True God is a rare commodity."

Shi Ling explained: "Master, whether it is the 'wind disaster' or the 'gravel disaster', they both target the divine body and soul at the same time. If you can't withstand it, nothing will be left."

"Targeting the divine body? Can it make the virtual divine power more solid and exert greater power?"

"That's right, Master. According to statistics, if one is tempered by the 'Wind Tribulation' and 'Gravel Tribulation' for a long time and then uses the Void Power to perform the same method, the power will be increased by up to 10% compared to the previous method."

Jiang Zhe was surprised, "One percent? That's amazing."

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, the surging divine power wrapped up a bunch of treasures on the ground and stuffed them into the bronze plate.

"Shi Ling, take some statistics."

Just now, he only took away the treasure, leaving only a bronze plate floating in the void. Jiang Zhe raised his hand again and took the bronze plate left by the True God of the Void, and put it together with his own bronze plate.

When the True God of the Void died, the "auxiliary spirit" in the bronze medal also died, and no new one would be born.

“Shi Ling, check if there are any good things in the brand-name storage space.”

"Yes, Master."

Jiang Zhe took out the treasures that had just made him bleed heavily, and began to prepare them according to the recipe that Shi Ling passed on to him.

Shi Ling quickly completed the statistics and waited silently.

172 years later.

A basin of emerald green precious liquid like jade paste is ready, with a sweet fragrance that seeps into the soul. Just one sniff will make you feel as if your soul is floating as if it is about to leave your body.

Bang! Bang! Bang——

There are countless flashes of light in my consciousness that continue to erupt like the Big Bang, tirelessly.

What does Jiang Zhe want to realize with the help of external forces?
No.

He wanted to put himself into an indescribable state and try to take action against the entire "Liufeng World".

He doesn't want to become the "world inheritor" by unconventional means, but he wants to make some "repairs" to the entire world that will benefit him... After all, this is just an illusion!

Jiang Zhe's self-confidence comes from his unique state of mind.

——Heaven and earth coexist with me, and all things are one with me!
