Hyper-fusion, I have infinite forms.

Chapter 103: Life Equipment and Settlement Return!

"Chaos" represents the extreme of "disorder" and is the mortal enemy of "order", which makes perfect sense.

So, chaos continues to infect one world after another with "cause of disaster" in order to turn more order into disorder?
And "Order", on the contrary, is committed to sending "Walkers" like itself to curb or even end further chaos in those infected worlds and restore them to order?
Regardless of whether your speculation is correct.

Zhou Yan now thinks that he is working for "order".

From now on, we have decided not to use random terms like "panel", "gold finger" or system to refer to it, but to call it "order".

However, don’t worry about those overly grand things for now. Zhou Yan still has things to do that are closely related to him.

First of all, after being promoted to a star level, his rune bar was emptied and expanded to twenty, which means that he would need to find twenty "1-star runes" to fill the rune bar before he could be promoted further.

It just so happened that he had been rewarded with some one-star runes for killing Shuten and Daiki, so he could fill them up now.

So he opened his own prop bar, and the prompt was triggered.

[It is detected that there are unused "0-star runes" in the prop column, including "9" rune factors and "5" rune circuit cores]

【因命装星级提升，现可将该部分「0星符文」替换为「3」枚指定的「1星符文」，及「1」枚「1星符文回路核心」】

[Subsequently, killing Chaos Monsters or completing quests will no longer reward "0-star Runes"]

The next moment, the redemption interface popped up in front of Zhou Yan.

He understood what he meant - his life had been equipped to one star, and he could only load one-star runes in the future, so those scattered runes were useless. The Order Boss took the initiative to provide him with the option of redemption to avoid waste.

Not bad!

Although it's a pity about the five circuit cores.

However, the reason why Zhou Yan did not choose them after so many promotions shows that he did not treat these circuit cores as priority.

Now you can exchange five low-level circuit cores for one high-level core of a specified type, which is definitely a good deal!
So Zhou Yan began to use his mind to quickly look through the circuit display interface provided to him by the Order Boss.

This opportunity is really rare. Although he also had the "exchange" function before the Order Boss provided this forced exchange, the types of circuit cores that can be exchanged in that function are very few. Except for the circuits that he can exchange for, all the others provided are mediocre guaranteed circuits.

It is basically used as a backup when he is really not satisfied with the rune circuit he has obtained. He has to use "two cores + 5000 spirituality" to exchange for one, so he has never exchanged it.

This time, the order proactively provided him with more exchangeable circuits - a full one hundred.

He browsed for a long time and saw many exquisite circuits that made him drool.

However, in the end, he still chose the best circuit for his plan - Immortality.

[Rune Circuit Core: Immortality (2)]

[Rating: 1 stars]

[Effect: Added to the life equipment, increase 3 points each for physique, agility, and spirit, and activate "Immortal Circuit (2)"]

【不灭回路（2）：同时与3枚「恩赐」1星符文共存于同一命装中时，额外获得「生命持续恢复1%/秒」、「体能持续恢复1%/秒」以及「受到致死打击强制存活3秒（冷却时间/1天）」的效果】

The first time Zhou Yan saw this rune circuit, he ignored all the top-quality circuits he had seen and memorized before.

And decided that this was the thing that best suited his needs.

Real endurance! Real resistance to death!
With this circuit, he no longer has to worry about dying from negligence or some inexplicable sudden outburst from the enemy.

Even if he was killed instantly, he could rely on the three seconds of forced survival time to at least activate super fusion.
At that time, at least you will have the choice of fighting or escaping.

After selecting the circuit, Zhou Yan designated the three places designated for exchanging one-star runes as the gift runes required by this circuit.

Then all the runes are needed to complete the equipment - 2 strength, 2 agility, 2 precision, 3 gifts, and the Immortal Circuit.

Since then, all the runes in his item bar have been used up, and all the special equipment has been equipped on his body, leaving only the life essence that can be used as a consumable.

No, he killed Shuten and Daiki, and obtained three "Rune Circuit Essence 1 Star".

Zhou Yan studied it and found that every time he used this item, the low-level circuits that his life equipment had absorbed could be upgraded to one-star level.

So after a brief study, he directly used up all the essences of these three circuits.

The most critical "survival", "absorption" and "firmness" circuits are directly upgraded to the corresponding one-star level.

He took a look and found that the effects of these circuits were basically three times that of the original "0 star" level.

At this point - the improvement effect of upgrading the life equipment to one star is fully realized.

Zhou Yan even felt that he was more than twice as strong as before!

After sorting out his situation, Zhou Yan came back to his senses and began to look at the new functions that were unlocked after he was "converted" to an Order Walker.

"Life and Equipment" and "Communication".
The "communication" function is prompted to be unavailable when walking in the disaster realm.

Zhou Yan looked directly at the "Life Equipment User" function that he had been thinking about.

[The Order Walker can bind a corresponding number of people with whom he has a bond as exclusive "Life Equipment Users" according to the star level of his Life Equipment, and gain their absolute loyalty]

[After binding, the life equipment will enter the Order Walker "Hall of Valor", enter the "nothingness" state, and the mind will stagnate.]

[The Order Walker can unconditionally select a Life Equipment User to summon each time he walks in the Disaster Realm, grant him a "Secondary Life Equipment", and complete the walk together]

[When not walking in the Disaster Realm, you can also summon a Fate Equipment User, but the Order Walker needs to pay the corresponding price based on the Fate Equipment User's strength rating.]

[If the summoned life suit dies or loses consciousness, it will return to the Hall of Heroes]

In a series of clear messages.

Zhou Yan quickly understood the function of this "life-enhancing device".

So that's what it means to be a life-enhancing envoy.
It is not that he can bring people directly back to the "main world", but that he makes the target a "summoned creature" that depends on him.

In other words, once Zhou Yan bound Long as his "life equipment user", he became Long's absolute "god".

Is that girl really willing to follow him in this capacity?
His face looked uncertain.

After hesitating for a while, Zhou Yan shook his head with a smile.

Regardless, it's an extra option.

All he had to do was to provide this option to Long and let Long make the decision himself.

Let’s finish the current task first.

Speaking of which, the big ghost has been killed by him, so how should the prison door be "closed"?
Zhou Yan raised his head and stared at the prison gate that was a hundred feet tall, burning with flames, yet seemed blurry and illusory.

The next moment, he found that he didn't need to worry about it anymore.

With the death of the big ghost, this huge prison gate was becoming more and more illusory at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the blazing flames on it were becoming weaker and weaker.

Finally, when the flames went out, the horrifying prison gate also completely disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yan discovered that the world around him was making a crackling sound.

Before he could react, he saw everything in the edge of hell he was in suddenly shattered. Space peeled off and dissipated like shards of glass.

In a trance, Zhou Yan's figure appeared at the crater of Mount Fugaku.

The black hole, like a black hole, disappeared quietly as he appeared.

[Additional Task 3: Expel the "Big Ghost" and close the "Prison Gate" (Completed)]

[All extra tasks are completed, you can choose to settle and return at any time]

[Settlement return? ——Yes/No]

【no】

Zhou Yan chose no, then looked up with a smile.

He just happened to catch the girl who rushed towards him in his arms.

"Master Yan, you are finally back!"

Zhou Yan smiled and touched the girl's head, then looked around again.

Gomonin Haruaki came over with four other people.

This fox-like man had no demeanor of a master of the Demon Slayer Dormitory at the moment. He was extremely excited and asked Zhou Yan in a trembling voice, "Master Yan, the black hole disappeared. Did you succeed?"

Zhou Yan smiled at him and said, "The big ghost has been killed, and the prison gate has disappeared. From now on, there shouldn't be any new monsters born in this world."

Although Gomonin Haruaki had already expected this, he was still shocked when he heard Zhou Yan's confirmation.

He murmured, "The Hundred Demons Rebellion that lasted for nearly a thousand years actually ended in our generation!?"

Not only him, but the other four warriors from the ancient schools also looked at each other in bewilderment, feeling that all this was just like a dream and simply could not believe it.

Everything was so easy, so easy that they thought they were dreaming.

The next second, the beautiful archery priestess of the Jingjian family took the lead in throwing the bow in her hand high up, screaming to vent her excitement.

When she took the lead, everyone, including Qingming, cheered loudly.

And just as everyone was cheering.

Zhou Yan put his arms around the girl's waist, his eyes serious and calm: "Long, I'm leaving soon"

Hearing his words, the girl's expression changed from bewilderment to panic. She seemed to understand what Zhou Yan meant by "go", and immediately hugged Zhou Yan tightly: "Master Yan! You said you would take me away!"

Zhou Yan looked at the girl's anxious expression calmly, "Long, I have a way to take you away with me, but it will completely change your life from now on."

The girl raised her head suddenly: "My lord, my life has completely changed since the day I met you. I, I can't imagine a life without you in the future. Whatever your request, Long will agree! Please, don't leave me alone!"

As she spoke, she completely disregarded her image, tears and snot flowed out, like a young animal about to be abandoned.

Zhou Yan sensed the girl's determination from her expression, but still asked seriously: "Even if you become a Servant completely dependent on me, with no control over your own life and death, and have to face endless dangers with me in the future, are you willing to accept this life?"

The girl didn't say anything, but just nodded frantically, her face full of tears.

Zhou Yan sighed softly, reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the girl's face.

Then, he silently invited her to become the Life-Binding Equipment User.

"Eh?"

The girl was startled by the "invitation" that suddenly popped up in her mind. She was blank for a while, as if she was trying to understand the rules of this "Life-Suit User".

Zhou Yan did not urge her, but just waited for the girl calmly.

A few seconds later, the expected entanglement and hesitation did not appear at all. The girl put away her sadness and looked at Zhou Yan with great joy.

"Yan no! Lord Zhou Yan, I am willing!"

"Long is willing to be your messenger, to accompany you, to live for you, to fight for you, and to die for you!"

While speaking words of loyalty in a confessional tone.

The girl's face was full of joy.

She stared at Zhou Yan infatuatedly, her body gradually became ethereal, and finally turned into a ray of light that sank into Zhou Yan's brows.

[You are bound to the life equipment "Oboro"]

[Current number of life equipment users: 1/1]

Zhou Yan watched all this silently, sighed lightly, and chose to return.

[Chaos Disaster Realm No. 289762 has completed its walk]

[Basic Task: "Survive" for 30 days (completed ahead of schedule)]

[Additional Mission 1: Go to Edo Castle in Musashi Province and participate in the "Gathering for the Extermination of Demons and Ghosts" (completed)]

[Additional Task 2: Kill three well-known monsters (completed)]

[Additional Task 3: Expel the "Big Ghost" and close the "Prison Gate" (Completed)]

[Complete this "Walking in the Disaster World" beyond the standard]

[This time's walk through the world of disaster score - 100]

[Rating Reward 1: Class Seed]

[Rating Reward 2: Secret Records of the Path]

[Settlement completed, returning soon]

Zhou Yan's eyes turned blank and his body shattered and disappeared.

At the top of Mount Fugaku, a breeze blew up some dust.

The few people who were celebrating seemed to realize something and turned around quickly, only to see that the place where Zhou Yan and Long were standing was empty.

Several people looked at each other in silence for a long time.

{The unrivaled swordsman "Hiko" of the Oboro style, killed Ibaraki with his sword, subdued the Great Tengu, killed the demon god Shuten Douji, and went deep into hell by himself, killed the great demon, and closed the prison gate. Finally, he disappeared quietly on the top of Mount Fugaku with a beautiful girl. Whether he is a god, a demon, or a person from another world, nothing is known}
The white-haired Yin-Yang master sat at the desk, holding the pen tremblingly, and wrote the last sentence in the notebook.

{From then on, it was history as we know it}
He put the brush aside and silently reread the words he had written. In his eyes, he seemed to see the high-spirited appearance of the one-eyed swordsman back then, and he couldn't help but reveal a fox-like smile.

Then, he coughed a few times and slowly rolled up the scroll that contained the secret story.

On the outer cover of the scroll, a few large characters were written vertically.

{The Secret of the True Sword Subduing Demons}
