Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 728 Lai Lai's "Retribution" [6.7k words]

Boom——! !

The sound of an ancient, resonant, and age-old bell rang out from beneath the gigantic throne shrouded in golden light, echoing on the endless steps.

"How's the last candidate incident going?"

The oppressive and majestic voice echoed, like a stone causing a thousand ripples, causing waves to reverberate around the throne.

"The qualification has been offered to him, but he seems to have rejected it."

Another voice sounded, responding to the majestic question, and as this sentence fell, a cold snort suddenly fell:
"Huh? He actually refused? It seems like he is another short-sighted and cowardly person..."

boom!
Before the voice with obvious disdain and dissatisfaction could finish, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from the shattered golden sky above, and a ray of light shaped like a galaxy suddenly fell from the sky, and without warning, amid the trembling of the entire world, it hit a corner of the huge throne, causing several cracks to suddenly appear on it.

Following this sudden scene, the voices around the throne suddenly fell silent, as if they were stunned by this too sudden attack. After several seconds, a sharp and furious voice suddenly exploded from under the throne:

"Not a king!!!"

"How dare you! Do you know what you are doing...!"

"Noisy."

Facing the sharp rebukes that started from under the throne, the starlight that shot down the throne simply condensed into a somewhat illusory figure of a scholar in a white robe. He slowly lowered his head and glanced down, causing the rustling sounds below to stop abruptly.

"This was a warning."

"If you dare to involve those two people in your mess again, the inheritance of the kings will no longer have any reason to exist."

The voice of an icy soul without any emotion reverberated around the huge throne, causing the owners of the voices around the throne to hold their breath involuntarily. After saying this, the somewhat illusory figure of the white-robed scholar in the air collapsed into a sky full of stars and disappeared on the spot, leaving only huge cracks that were thousands of meters long spreading from the throne, proving the traces of his arrival.

After several minutes, when the remaining starlight in the world completely dissipated, a low roar filled with humiliation and anger sounded from under the throne:
"It's too much to bully others! It's too much to bully others!!"

"You are just a non-king, how dare you... how dare you be so disrespectful!!"

Angry growls echoed from under the throne, but no one dared to respond or echo his words. Some of the owners of the voices even silently stepped back half a step when they heard their companions make such almost insane remarks, as if they were worried that the other party's head would be smashed into pieces and splashed all over themselves in the next second.

Although all the people present were here because of the glory of the kings, in fact, after witnessing with their own eyes how terrifying the individual power of certain beings of this era could be, they actually more or less realized that the glory they had always wanted to restore, in this era... was probably nothing.

At least, in front of those monsters who clearly claimed to be at the top but were completely different from the top in their understanding, the power of the kings that they were proud of was as weak as a piece of brittle paper.

……

Sanctuary paradise, exclusive room.

[Reminder: The treatment is completed. This deep treatment has ended. ]

"Huh~! It turns out that a deep treatment before bed is the best way to sleep~!"

In the exclusive room, Xin Lailai successfully enjoyed a deep sleep for twelve hours, sweeping away all the fatigue accumulated on the Dark Glow Star and the hidden dangers left by multiple operations. She stretched out on the bed with a refreshed look, feeling a lot more relaxed.

"Lailai...Lailai, don't run away! Just let me take another bite..."

A sound of mumbling in sleep with a hint of silly laughter came from the side, and Ling Yuzi, who was still in deep sleep, was seen drooling, with a happy and comfortable smile on his little face, as if he had had an extremely beautiful dream.

"It should be a delicious dream, right..."

After silently complaining in her mind and slightly correcting the thought that flashed through her mind when she saw Ling Yuzi's sleeping face, Xin Lailai smiled helplessly, gently wiped the saliva from Ling Yuzi's mouth, covered him with the quilt that had been kicked aside, and then opened the branding interface to check another prompt that popped up when they were sleeping:

[Tip: Upgrade completed. Since the current title is already a five-star title, this "Title Resin Sublimation" only increases its title potential.]

[Tip: Since this is the first time that a pioneer has obtained a title with a potential higher than 60%, the permission to view the title potential has been automatically unlocked]

Yes, during the time they were sleeping, the upgrade of "Limit Breaker" was completed. As for the final effect...

……

*Tip: The maximum effective limit of "Limiting Limits" of Title Effect 2 is 100 points of real attribute barrier.

Introduction: The door beyond the limit is truly open for you at this moment!
……

Very good, just as the intelligence said, the title of Limit Breaker has indeed undergone a transformation in effect after the title potential has reached more than 80%!

Xin Lailai looked at the title introduction in front of him, and a hint of heat flashed across his eyes.

With this "Limit Breaker" title with a potential of over 80%, in the future as long as they can obtain enough attribute points, it will be equivalent to having an extra powerful equipment that can provide a permanent full-real attribute temporary +10 gain out of thin air, and also have a new trump card when encountering a strong enemy.

[Tip: You have a new urgent message to view, sender: The deceased]

Suddenly, a communication message marked as urgent popped up from the edge of Xin Lailai's sight, causing his expression to change slightly. Ling Yuzi, who was sleeping soundly beside him, also opened his eyes suddenly, sat up abruptly from the bed, and almost instinctively shouted in his mind:

"Lai Lai! There is an urgent communication message!"

"Well, I see it."

"Okay...eh? Lailai, when did you wake up?!"

Ling Yuzi blinked and looked at the saliva remaining on the corner of his mouth. His face turned slightly red. He quietly wiped it off while looking at the communication channel with Xin Lailai:

……

The Carrier of the Dead: "It's an emergency, come quickly (attached. The coordinates of the Carrier of the Dead's exclusive room)."

……

Is there an emergency at the hands of the deceased? Is there a problem with Fab?!
Seeing the message on the communication channel, Xin Lailai's eyes froze. After exchanging a glance with Ling Yuzi, he nodded, decisively opened the transmission permission, selected the coordinates sent by the deceased, and disappeared on the spot.

……

Crunch——!!

"Death warrant, what happened?" "Come in and talk." "Yes."

A few seconds later, in the room reserved for the Death Bearer, Xin Lailai, who had arrived quickly, took a look at the Death Bearer standing at the door with a serious expression, and quickly walked forward. After a brief exchange of words, he walked into the room with the other party. Almost the moment he followed the Death Bearer to the living room...

boom! ! !
There was a heavy door slamming, and the door behind him slammed shut. The person in front of him suddenly turned around with an expressionless face. Not only that...

"Hey~! Isn't this our Captain Black? What a rare guest!"

Yamu, with a grim smile on his face, walked out from the corner, holding a large suitcase in his hand. A wisp of ominous aura emanated from it. When Xin Lailai sensed that it was full of cursed objects and various subtle materials that were difficult to describe in words, her eyelids suddenly jumped and her heart skipped a beat. It was obvious that she had realized something.

"Well, um, Death Bearer, didn't you say there was an emergency? So the emergency is..."

"Right here, Captain Hei Da, look, aren't these gifts worth tens of millions of park points about to expire?!"

Yamu grinned, looking at Xin Lailai whose eyelids were twitching wildly, and opened the suitcase in his hand. An indescribable strong stench immediately hit him in the face, causing Xin Lailai's face to change slightly, but he still forced a smile and tried his best to explain:
"Ahem, that... Brother Yamu, did we misunderstand something? Given our friendship, is it necessary for us to make such thorough preparations..."

"I'll give you the *(void curse)! Capture the dead! Come together! Don't give this guy a chance to resist!!"

"it is good."

"Wait! Let me explain. I really just wanted to remind you that you can..."

“I don’t understand your fucking explanation! Akaashi is going to curl up, right? I’ll make you naked enough!!!” “Ugh…! Ugh!!!”

"This stone washing machine of yours... Ugh~!!"

"Haha, don't worry! This batch of good stuff is carefully selected! I guarantee that there won't be any that triggers an attack! And I guarantee that you, Captain Hei, will have an endless aftertaste!"

“Ouch!! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh—!!!”

After a while, a desperate struggling sound, as if someone had pried open his mouth and fed him several kilograms of stone, came from the extremely well-sealed exclusive room. This time, even the executioner just cooperated with Yamu expressionlessly and fed Xin Lailai, who was pressed on the sofa, one portion of carefully selected "rare delicacies" after another.

To be honest, it would be fine if the other party was asking for other things, but the fact that he even asked for something like this really disgusted her, as she always pursues efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

You know, last time after she improved her abnormal resistance according to the "package" recommended by the other party, she didn't dare to kiss Shilona for a whole week. If she doesn't teach that guy a lesson, God knows what kind of shocking thing the other party will bring out next time!

"Come on! Keep going! You want to roll up BYD and Akaashi, right? You like to roll people up behind Akaashi and pretend to be dead to block them, right?"

"Today I will make you naked as much as you can!!!"

……

So, two hours later.

[Tip: The effect of "Hunger Digestion" has ended. According to the result of this digestion, the Pioneer obtains the following effects: Poison Resistance +5, Curse Resistance +4, Foul Resistance +13, Nightmare Resistance...]

"vomit--!!!"

A cold reminder sound rang in my head, but the next second it was covered by the retching sound that seemed to be vomiting stomach acid.

"Lai...Lai Lai, how are you, are you feeling better?"

"More... Ugh! Help me get some more fragrance, I need to get rid of the smell... Ugh!!"

In the bathroom, Xin Lailai, who looked pale, was seen covering his mouth and retching into the sink as if he had fainted, as if he had experienced some unimaginable torture.

"No, Ling Yuzi, help me think of something to distract me. The stuff that Yamu picked is too strong. Gastric lavage is useless."

"Um... Lailai, you have been vomiting here for almost an hour. Counting the time we spent before, we have already wasted fifteen hours on these things, and sister 83203 is still waiting for you, Lailai, to report to her the results of your research on the new version of demon power and angel power?"

Ling Yuzi bit his index finger lightly after hearing this, lowered his head and thought for a while, then spoke to Xin Lailai in a very calm tone. Xin Lailai, who was originally troubled by the taste lingering in his brain and mouth, suddenly woke up and shouted to Ling Yuzi almost instinctively:
"Fuck! I almost forgot about this! Quick! Get to the lab! I'll debug the equipment, and I'll leave the purchase of research materials to you, Ling Yuzi!!"

"Ok!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xin Lailai, who had been retching the previous second, rushed into the laboratory as if he had been given a powerful sobering agent. He quickly put on the protective clothing specially used for spell research and testing, and adjusted one instrument after another at a very fast speed.

BYD, I was delayed by that bastard Yamu and almost forgot the most important thing!
You know, 83203 is still waiting for the results from their side to decide the final effect of their third-level career template. If they let the other party down, the consequences will be much more serious than eating several kilograms of stones!
……

Two days later, in the exclusive room, the spell laboratory.

[Deduction completed. The current spell model stability rate is 93.7%, mental stability is 80.2%, energy conduction loss is 4.59%, and node efficiency is...]

[Judgment result: passed]

"Haha! It worked! Ling Yuzi, did you see that? It worked!"

"Well! We finally succeeded! Now Sister 83203 won't say anything to us!"

Excited laughter rang out from the laboratory. In front of a large instrument that was specially used to test various spell models, the cost of starting it alone was enough to buy several top-level legendary equipment, Xin Lailai looked at the two spell models slowly rotating in the transistor, and he couldn't stop laughing.

It worked!
A new version of demon power and angel power developed based on the demon seal and angel seal, as well as the basic properties and energy structure of demon power and angel power.

"Tsk, this is really all thanks to that guy who holds the Death. If I hadn't taken this opportunity to let her provide some Nether Energy and Source Blood samples as compensation, I might not have been able to handle it so smoothly."

Xin Lailai looked at the results displayed on the screen of the instrument in front of him, closed his eyes, and sensed the two spell models in his spiritual world that were almost identical to those in the transistor. His mental power surged, controlling their operation. Finally, he saw strands of transformed mental power pouring out of his spiritual world, and under the influence of the spell information on it, it guided the life energy, soul energy and mana in his body, and transformed them into two energy fluctuations, one black and one white, at a speed visible to the naked eye, which seemed like completely opposite energies.

This is the demonic power and angelic power that they have developed.

Unlike the original demon power and angel power, the new version of demon power and angel power not only has its strength level increased from level 6.1 to level 6.5, but its stability and control difficulty have also changed dramatically compared to before.

To put it more bluntly, if the original demon power and angel power could not stay in their bodies for a long time because they were human beings rather than a hybrid race of demons and feathers, then the new version of the demon power and angel power could stay in their bodies as stably as magic power, and would no longer produce any physical rejection reactions.

As for how they did this, it involved a lot of theories and knowledge unique to mages, but the most crucial thing was actually to modify the "racial characteristics" and "energy characteristics" of the demon power and angel power to be more suitable for their situation.

Simply put, assuming that the original demon power and angel power are essentially created and adapted by using certain characteristics of the demon and feather tribe's own body cells and soul structure, then what they did was to replace them with corresponding characteristics in the human race's body cells and soul structure.

In order to achieve this, three major prerequisites must be met. First, the two characteristics must be possessed by humans. Second, the two characteristics must be opposite in nature. Finally, their direction cannot deviate too much from the original demon power and angel power.

Oh, there is actually one last point for them, which is not to pollute the energy environment in their bodies.

Well, it seems difficult, but in fact... it is not easy at all.

To achieve this, we must first understand the characteristics and basic composition of the demon power and angel power.

For example, the characteristics of demonic power are explosion and destruction, and its basic composition is to use a very small amount of soul power + a certain amount of mana to extremely expand the life energy, turning it into a destructive energy that has great restraint on the flesh and blood structure, but is also extremely difficult to control.

The characteristics of angel power are suppression and resurrection. The principle is to use a very small amount of life energy + a certain amount of mana to perform extreme compression gain on the soul energy, forming a special soul energy with extremely high density, strong penetrating ability, extremely high manipulation accuracy, and the physical properties of life energy.

By the way, this principle is actually universal to any level of demon power and angel power, because the difference between demon power and angel power of different levels and strengths does not lie in the principles involved, but in the life energy and soul energy involved.

To put it simply, taking the awakening of the Demon's Seal as an example, the so-called awakening is essentially to allow the Demon's Seal to adapt to the exclusive life energy produced by the demon cells, thereby awakening various abilities and characteristics that can only be used and exerted to their full power by the life energy produced by the demon cells.

This is why they, as humans, cannot truly awaken the Demon Seal, because this thing was an ability developed at the cellular level against the demons from the very beginning.

Even logically speaking, there should first be the demon clan that has the innate ability to generate demonic power in its body and the innate demon seal similar to the magic circuit, then there are the awakened demon seals developed based on this, and finally there are the initial version of the demon seal that is simplified for use by the demon clan's foreign servants and allies.

The reason why the demon power of the demon clan can be awakened again and again and awaken various abilities related to explosion, liberation, and transformation is that the root cause is also the body cells of the demon clan and the life energy they produce. They naturally possess explosive power and explosive upper limit that human cells do not have.

This includes the angelic power of the Feather Clan. The reason why the Feather Clan has so many skills related to suppression and repression among their various abilities is that the soul energy produced by their souls has the same natural energy activity suppression ability as the Feather Clan's character of being good at forbearance and restraint.

In fact, it can be seen from here why they insist on developing their own demon power and angel power, because these things are not abilities for humans to use at all. Even the fact that they can use the initial versions of these two energies now is actually thanks to the fact that the demon clan and the feather clan, like humans, have cellular life structures and have many similarities in the underlying logic.

As for how they solve the problem that their body cells and souls do not have the explosive power and energy activity suppression capabilities like the demon cells and feather souls?

The answer is their heavy sword master and soul master.

Their cells do not indeed possess extreme explosive potential, but their sword power happens to have extremely fierce and overbearing explosive characteristics. Although their soul energy does not have the ability to suppress activity, energy activity suppression happens to be the direction of their next development.

In a word, what is congenitally deficient can be made up for by acquired means.

Of course, due to the inevitable differences brought about by different methods, the new versions of demon power and angel power they developed are definitely different from the original versions in characteristics.

Take the demon power as an example. Although their demon power also has the characteristics of explosion and destruction, it is actually more inclined to the word destruction as a whole, rather than the former explosion like the original demon power.

The same goes for angel power. The new version of angel power they developed is not so much better at penetrating and suppressing enemies, but better at constructing various complex structures, using thin threads of soul energy with material properties as sutures, and performing microscopic cell restoration and promoting cell regeneration.

Xin Lailai even had an intuition... no, to be more precise, it was based on a theoretical conjecture, that is, if they continued to develop in the current direction, the new version of demon energy and angel energy they developed would most likely completely abandon the two characteristics of explosion and compression in the future, and instead move towards destruction and resurrection... or even death and life. The great help that the cells and energy samples of the deceased had brought to their development of the new version of demon power during this development process was the best proof of this.

Of course, this has nothing to do with them now. Or rather, compared to the future, he only knows one thing now -

[Tip: Sent successfully, the current email has been sent to the specified target: 83203]

“Phew…! This way, I can finally lie down for a while.”

In the laboratory, Xin Lailai looked at the successfully sent email in front of him, lay down heavily on the ground, took a long breath, and a look of relief appeared on his face.

You have to know that regarding the research on the new version of demon power and angel power, they started preparing in terms of data and theory a long time ago. This is why they were able to progress so quickly this time, because the preliminary theories have actually been completed, and all that remains is to convert them into actual results.

Then, Xin Lailai closed her eyes, as if she was asleep, and rested on the ground, and then...

When three minutes had passed, Xin Lailai, who was lying on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at the name of the dead man on the communication list, whose location was shown at the Lailai Cult headquarters and had not changed for two days and two nights. He took out the soul training manual with an expressionless face and silently called Ling Yuzi to read it together.

Damn it, he wants to see when this guy will leave the training ground!
BYD has been in there for almost three days and still hasn't come out. What is he doing?!
