A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 352 Deep Sea
An extremely strong vibration was heard, and the hill where the sage was located collapsed slightly.

About three thousand meters away from Him, there appeared a large pit about three hundred meters deep, and the insane elf was now lying there dying, his body covered in blood.

But even so, He still did not fall into a coma. Using spiritual vision, He could see that His mind was still awake, and He could still control His own flesh and blood abilities, allowing His body to slowly reshape.

After taking a look at the elves who were still alive and struggling, the sage slowly walked into the pit that was still filled with high temperature and gave his spirit body a "data shock", allowing a huge amount of garbage information to fill his already crazy mind.

"Crack."

In the uneven pit, the elf who had just reunited his flesh and blood and wanted to stand up suddenly scattered into pieces of flesh and blood, unable to get up again at this moment.

Looking at the elf that had completely lost its ability to resist after being killed, the sage's expression changed slightly, and he was amazed at the vitality of this mythical creature that was born to be a demigod.

The meteor he summoned had a diameter of ten meters, and appeared from a height of four thousand meters, directly locking onto and accurately falling. At the moment of landing, it generated nearly fifty billion joules of kinetic energy, and this was not counting the spiritual attack contained in the meteor.

Among the immortal monks who are still in the great king realm in the "Zhatian World", there are not many who can withstand his spell and have room to struggle.

"Sure enough, the 'Magic Potion System' is good at saving lives. Even an elf like 'Sailor' who is a violent spirit has a strong ability to survive." The sage secretly sighed in his heart, "Unfortunately, he is a little crazy."

"How dare a Sequence Three Saint who has few followers, or even no followers at all, attack me?"

“Even if he has many believers and is armed with extraordinary items, extraordinary weapons, seals, talismans and other equipment, a saint at the peak of his powers must be extremely cautious when facing a newly promoted Sequence 2 angel.”

"And I am not just an ordinary Sequence 2 angel. My actual combat power is at least equal to that of a Sequence 1 angel. I may even be able to rival an Angel King who has multiple copies of the same path or uniqueness."

The sage glanced at the flesh and blood that was still moving automatically by instinct, and shook his head. He then extended his index finger and touched the spirit that remained in the flesh and blood, extracting the memory of the elf.

The ability to manipulate the ocean of subconsciousness and browse memories, which belonged to the "audience" path, was waved in the hands of the sage with great familiarity. In just a moment, everything that the elf knew from birth to the present was obtained by Him.

After taking a quick look and understanding the purpose of the elf's going deep inland, the sage's expression became a little subtle.

This spirit with the status of a saint came here to escape.

About thirty days ago, the elves that were active along the coastline began to disappear for no apparent reason. Moreover, the saints of the elves tried every possible method to find their people, but they could not.

At first, only one or two elves lost their tracks when they entered the shallow sea area. But within a few days, dozens of elves disappeared after entering the ocean. After more than ten days, an elf who could walk on the seabed and had the status of a saint also completely disappeared when he was looking for the footprints of the Chinese people on the shallow seabed.

Until more than twenty days passed, just a few days ago, an elf town built on the coast was suddenly shrouded in thick fog in the middle of the night. When the morning sun rose, nearly ten thousand elves in the city disappeared collectively.

After this incident, the originally prosperous elven city suddenly became empty and fell into silence.

In order to avoid this unknown natural disaster, the elves spontaneously left the ocean they were very familiar with and migrated inland. This elf with the status of a saint, who turned into a pile of minced meat and lay in front of the sage, was one of the "refugees".

After carefully analyzing what happened to the elves, the sage sighed silently, "How can this be a natural disaster? This is clearly a man-made disaster."

He has the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 4 of the "Sailor" path on his hand. Although it has been recorded in the [Gray Fog Space] and deduced, it is still impossible to glimpse the authority and symbol corresponding to Sequence 0. However, below the level of gods, it is as clear as looking at the patterns on the palm of your hand.

That fog was clearly a combination of the Sailor pathway, and other high-sequence abilities. It effortlessly enveloped a large city guarded by many Saint-level elves. Its power was definitely above Sequence 2, and could even reach Sequence 1.

The purpose of this operation that makes the elves disappear is very obvious, which is to collect faith.

After all, fear, an emotion that comes from all living things, is also a belief.

"Did an elf from the elven race swallow the Beyonder characteristics of a high-sequence, and then realized the effect of faith as an anchor on itself, and then caused such a disaster? Or did some unknown Beyonder creature in the ocean swallow the Beyonder characteristics of a high-sequence pathway, realize the effect of faith, and then use fear to collect faith from the elves?"

Normally, an elf of the elf race would not be so stupid as to do such a stupid thing as relying on the fear of his own people to gather faith.

But the world is unpredictable. Now even a saint can become so deranged as to attack an angel. Who knows what crazy things these barbarians of the elves can do?

The sage looked towards the coastline and whispered in his heart, "Maybe I can go to the coastal area to take a look? If it is really the elves' 'family affair', it is really not appropriate to interfere."

"But if it's just a mythical creature that originally lived in the deep sea and accidentally swallowed a high-sequence pathway and is now relatively sane and comes here to inflict fear on the elves and collect their faith, I won't be polite."

"With such a disaster, most elves must want a savior to save them, right?"

"Well, we just need to charge a small fee as a reward afterwards. I guess they won't mind."

Thick starlight moved with the sage's spiritual power, and strands of terrifying space-time energy condensed into shape, like a paintbrush in front of Him, depicting a portal with three-dimensional runes.

"squeak"

There was a sound like a wooden door opening. On the other side of the door was a vast ocean that was constantly undulating. This was the range of activities of the elves, and it was also the last confirmed location of a certain elf with the status of a saint before he disappeared.

——【Spell: Travel】

This is a long-distance teleportation spell developed by the sage based on the flash ability of the "Apprentice" path.

The time and space coordinates for positioning and transmission were calculated based on the memory of a certain elf who was still slowly gathering his own flesh and blood.

After the sage passed through the portal, the three-dimensional runes that looked like the portal drawn with a starlight brush immediately collapsed and turned into starlight that scattered into the sea.

His inspiration began to spread across this sea area, extending to its own limits, and began to resonate with the corresponding spiritual areas of this sea area, allowing all the information recorded in history to be gathered together for him to browse.

The flowing silver-white starlight shone in the sage's pupils. At this moment, He was concentrating on indirectly restoring the original appearance of the matter based on the fragmentary information recorded in the spiritual world.

As for why we don't use divination or prophecy, but use detective reasoning to search the "data network" in the spiritual world that records vast amounts of information?

That's naturally because they don't want to alarm this mythical creature that spreads fear and collects faith.

No matter how powerful the sage is now, his status is that of a Sequence 2 angel. Even if his body is contaminated by the source essence, this fact cannot be changed. Using power to search directly will definitely not work. As long as the existence that spreads fear still has reason, its higher status will definitely sense that something is wrong and alert the enemy.

Although this method of slowly collecting information from the spirit world has a chance of being discovered, it is at least much lower than the probability of directly using the spirit world for prediction and divination.

"found it."

It didn't take long for the sage to collect information in the spirit world before he found the corresponding information fragments. After interfering with the sensing ability of the higher-level characters, he pieced together and restored the information.

A picture gradually emerged in His eyes.

On the shallow seabed less than a hundred meters deep, a rough-faced elf was walking, seemingly following some trail.

As time passed, he slowly passed by the plants and marine life on the sea floor, walked towards the middle waters of the ocean, and began to enter the sea area where the sun could not reach. At the same time, some luminous plants and fish also appeared around the elf as he went deeper.

From here on, the originally relatively normal marine ecology suddenly became terrifying.

Demonic plants stretched out their bodies in this twilight zone, and the forms of some marine creatures also underwent horrible changes. Deformed, multi-limbed, and internal-external life forms kept appearing before our eyes, as if they were out of control.

It was visible to the naked eye that this elf with the status of a saint gradually became alert and his movement speed began to slow down.

Because the plants and animals here have begun to move away from the category of low-sequence extraordinary creatures, and can all be classified as life in the fields of "blasphemy", "darkness", "filth", "death", and "degeneration".

The extraordinary creatures here are no longer under the control of the Sailor Path Sequence Three, Sea King. Once in danger, even if this elf is at home in the sea, he will not be able to withstand such a terrifying siege and needs to flee immediately.

At this moment, the elf with the status of a saint also realized this, stopped, looked into the deeper parts of the ocean, and no longer moved forward.

After waiting for a while, as if he had figured something out, a trace of fear appeared on his face, and he slowly stepped back. A strange mental wave also spread from his body, as if "comforting" something.

Obviously, this elf still has extraordinary characteristics above the "audience" path sequence four in his body. He just found some clues from the sea of ​​collective subconsciousness, and now he has also realized what the problem is based on this, and will not go deeper.

Now, He is located at the junction of the mesopelagic zone and the deep zone of the ocean, with a depth of about one thousand meters.

An unexpected thing happened, extremely sudden and unexpected. A huge forked tentacle covered with compound eyes and sharp teeth stretched out from the deep sea and grabbed the elf.

Unable to even resist, this elf who was following the information in the ocean of collective subconscious was pulled into the darkness like the abyss and disappeared without a trace.

The sage's eyelids jumped when he saw this scene, and his expression was a little uncertain. "Tentacle. Could it be an extraordinary cephalopod? I remember that there seemed to be some large squids that can adapt to the deep sea environment. But this is all information from the time before the 'first' awakening, when the Earth was extraordinary and not obvious."

"Wait. I remember the deep sea layer seems to have another name. Abyssal layer."

"Abyss. No way?"

Abyss is the name of Sequence Zero of the Path to God, the "Criminal". If a supernatural being is promoted to the "Abyss", then the authority of "degeneration", "curse", "alien" and so on can be controlled by Him.

Of course, what is more crucial is that this path of God is easily influenced by the Old One called the Mother Tree of Desire outside the earth's barrier, because this path of God was separated from His source [Shadow World] and is inherently influenced by Him.

"No way, it's only been a few years since 'Tianzun' and 'God' died. How did the Outer God, the Mother Tree of Desire, penetrate its influence deep into the barrier and even create such a thing?"

Seeing the essence through phenomena, as the "Xuanhuang Immortal King", a cultivator who cultivates destiny, the sage absolutely does not believe in the existence of such a thing as "coincidence".

Moreover, it is still in the early stages of its embryonic stage, and it is almost impossible for it to even become an angel. When nature is needed to slowly "purify" various extraordinary characteristics, suddenly there appears such an extraordinary creature that even He would jump when He sees it. It is not normal no matter how you think about it.

In this era, even He, a sage, was promoted to an angel only after being contaminated by the source essence and then repositioning his "self".

"I, an angel promoted to Sequence 2, am going crazy. I was driven out of control by the mental imprint of the 'Original'. This extraordinary creature, which looks like a large squid, is so weird no matter how you look at it. I don't believe it myself if you say it's not the work of an Outer God."

Because only after being contaminated by the Old Ones, having a "position", and having the power of the Old Ones to help when falling into madness and approaching a loss of control, can one now have the status of a Sequence One angel or above. Otherwise, only a person who is favored by "fate" can make such an unreasonable move.

"However, if he is really the one favored by 'fate', then it would be a bigger joke."

On Earth, apart from "Tianzun" himself, which other god is qualified to represent "destiny"?
After all, as a personality separated from the "beginning" and one of the three pillars of the universe, His name includes the title "Beacon of Destiny".
