The world begins with refining skills

Chapter 557 Sequence 4: ** (Seeking monthly votes)

Fors, who was lying on the bed, suddenly sat up, gripping the dominoes tightly in one hand and covering his head with the other.

"The greatest tragedy in life is to stop fighting!"

"A person's life should be lived in such a way that when he looks back on his past..."

Fors' face was contorted with pain, her delicate features becoming grotesque, yet she muttered incantations.

These words seem to contain the power to resist madness and delirium!

At first, these words did work, strengthening Fors's resolve and allowing her to remain conscious amidst the whispers and screams in her ear.

But as time went by, the babbling, which seemed to be corrupted by an evil god, grew louder and clearer.

It seems to be a counterattack against Fors's resistance!

"what!!!"

Fors clutched her head in agony, rolling around on the bed as if someone had shoved a screwdriver into her brain and started stirring it up.

Sweat soaked her clothes, and the veins on her body bulged. The excruciating pain from the depths of her soul caused Fors' body to tense up and convulse at times.

Deep within those pale blue eyes, countless light and shadow seemed to shift and overlap, sometimes showing figures and doors, sometimes blazing red flames!
It seemed that two mysterious, higher-dimensional forces were fighting within her body!
Both of these forces contain terrible spiritual pollution!

The difference is that the former brought her only despair, pain, and darkness, while the latter was as warm as a fire in winter!
If she could, Fors wouldn't want to choose either, but the problem is she has no choice.

"So, it turns out I'm not the kind of person... who would give up my life for freedom!"

Fors smiled bitterly and resolutely threw herself into the embrace of the blazing red flames.

The moment she made her decision, the pale white domino she was clutching tightly in her hand suddenly shone brightly.

A ray of light, imbued with the breath of life, instantly illuminated the entire room!
Fors immediately felt countless warm currents surge through her body, soothing her physical pain and rapidly flowing into her soul.

boom! ! !
This warm current shattered her spiritual world, penetrated her consciousness and thoughts, and reached the deepest part of her spiritual core.

A dark and chaotic figure and the phantom of a door are eroding and corrupting Fors's soul through some kind of connection.

A blazing red flame has been helping her fight against this erosion!

However, compared to the figures and the phantom images of the door, this flame seemed too small, as if it could be extinguished at any moment.

Just then, a surge of life force suddenly appeared here, instantly changing the situation!

The blazing red flames suddenly shone brightly, filling the entire spiritual space and condensing into a three-legged bronze furnace!
The moment Fors saw the bronze furnace, his consciousness went blank.

A multitude of fantastical, hazy, and indescribable images flooded my mind!
"boom--"

The sound of flames roaring roused Fors from his daze.

When she looked into her mental world again, she found that the figure and the illusory image of the door had disappeared.

Instead, a burning bronze furnace was erected!

At the same time, wisps of illusory black smoke rose from Fors's body in reality, as if some stubborn impurities were being burned out.

A few minutes later, Fors' face returned to calm.

The countless layers of light and shadow in his pale blue eyes had disappeared, becoming as clear as the water in a mountain stream.

"it's over!"

Fors murmured softly, feeling the long-lost ease and relief in her body, and a smile slowly appeared on her lips.

She has finally broken free from the curse of the Full Moon's Talking, and no longer has to worry about suddenly going crazy and losing control!

What surprised Fors even more was that she seemed to still be herself!

"Has your thinking not been contaminated or distorted? Or has it already changed, but I'm just unaware of it?"

Fors had an idea. She got out of bed, went barefoot to her desk, and took a notebook out of the drawer.

After opening the notebook, she began to check her mental state one by one according to the records inside.

"My best friend is Hugh Deercha, and my favorite color is light yellow..."

"I have a lazy personality, I don't like a stressful or tiring life, and I don't have any specific life goals..."

"..."

As Fors flipped through the contents of his notebook, he compared them to his current situation and found that nothing had changed.

"So, I am still me!"

Fors smiled and closed the notebook, her heart filled with relief and joy at surviving the ordeal.

Having resolved the curse and avoided having her spirit corrupted by a higher-ranking being, what more could she possibly want?

"However, there have been some changes!"

Fors sensed the changes in his body, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.

Her consciousness sank into the depths of her spiritual realm once more, and she saw a domino floating in the sky above the spiritual world, shimmering with light like a breath.

One side of the dominoes is engraved with a knife and a hammer, while the other side has a complex 'rune'.

The runes represent her extraordinary 'apprentice' qualities!

The extraordinary characteristics inherited from the old lady Anlisa, along with the cursed bloodline within, were forged into the 'rune' before our eyes.

"Infinite Illusionary Realm, Innovation Council..."

Fors recalled the information that surfaced in her mind and poured a wisp of spirituality into the dominoes.

In an instant, the images before her eyes flashed and intertwined, and when they became clear again, she was already in a magnificent and majestic temple.

"Is this... the Infinite Illusionary Realm?"

Fors looked around the temple with curiosity, his gaze soon drawn to the compassionate and benevolent golden statue standing in front of rows of seats.

She noticed that the face of the statue was exactly the same as that of the man she had met in the Royal Library who had given her the dominoes.

"It was him? No, it was Him!"

Fors felt his mind go blank, his ears were ringing, and his expression was full of shock.

She actually had close contact with such a powerful being!

Just then, a voice filled with curiosity and joy rang out behind her.

"Hello, are you a new member?"

someone!

Fors was startled and quickly turned around to look behind him.

A woman with full, firm breasts and an aura she recognized was smiling at her.

"Hello, I'm Marlena, the head and instructor of Constance City!"

'Instructor?'

Fors recalled the 'stories' he had seen on the dominoes and quickly reached out in response.

"Hello, I'm Fors, a... new comrade!"

...

...

"Hmm? Another 'Sequence Rune' from a new pathway!"

On a stretch of the raging sea, Mu Sheng discovered a new rune on the inner wall of the 'furnace' inside his body.

“The 'apprentice' of Sequence 9 is Fors!” Mu Sheng quickly determined the source of this 'rune'.

"Besides that, there was an unexpected bonus..."

With a flick of his wrist, a drop of somewhat dark blood appeared in his hand.

"A descendant of the Abrahamic family, Mr. Men?"

"A quasi-god who embodies the uniqueness of the 'Gate' pathway and the characteristics of three Star Keys!"

"Hmm...it doesn't seem to be of much use for the time being, let's put it away for now!"

"Let's make plans after we advance to demigod!"

After thinking for a moment, Mu Sheng turned around and stored the drop of blood in his refining space.

A quasi-god corrupted by an Outer God and driven to madness.

If he helps Mr. Men regain his sanity, it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to ask for some extraordinary traits as a reward!

"It's late at night..."

Listening to the sound of seawater crashing against the ship outside the cabin, Mu Sheng suddenly got up and went to the deck.

It was already 10 p.m., and apart from the lights on the 'Holy Light' ship, the only other light on the nearby sea was the starlight and moonlight overhead.

The already dark and deep sea surface, illuminated by the crimson moonlight, revealed an even more eerie dark red hue.

It resembled a terrifying sea of ​​blood!
"What a great atmosphere for a horror movie, fitting the mysterious world."

"A mad creator, an extraordinary being teetering on the edge of reason and loss of control—this world is a massive source of pollution!"

"Spending too much time in this kind of environment will cause mental problems..."

Mu Sheng gazed at the boundless, dark red sea all around him and couldn't help but sigh.

Just like our 'God of Poverty' Klein, he was a morally upright teenager in the first movie, but somehow his values ​​changed in the second movie.

Mu Sheng strongly suspected that he had been corrupted by the world itself.

"Hi~"

"Even Source Fortress can't resist this kind of pollution?"

"That's right. The so-called nine source substances were separated from the original creator, which inherently represents a kind of pollution. It's normal for this situation to occur!"

"Fortunately, I have the protection of the refining panel, so I don't have to worry about my thoughts and will being distorted without my knowledge!"

Mu Sheng secretly rejoiced that he had a cheat code, otherwise he might have ended up like Klein.

"This world, with its underlying madness, is truly a place of despair!"

"Let me bring about a little change to this world!"

"Sequence 4, Condensation!"

Mu Sheng suddenly took a step forward and plunged straight into the dark red depths of the sea with a 'plop'.

As his body sank into the icy seawater, his mind gradually sank into the depths of his spirituality.

In a void of unknown latitude.

The refining panel suddenly lit up, and his past experiences were extracted bit by bit.

These experiences, blending with the underlying themes of a mysterious world, gradually coalesced into a new sequence under the immense power of the refining panel.

After a long time, Mu Sheng's body had sunk to the bottom of the sea at an unknown depth.

All around was complete darkness, without a single ray of light!

It wasn't the darkness of clouds obscuring the moonlight, nor the darkness of having your eyes closed, nor the complete darkness of being in a completely enclosed space where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

It is a cold, lifeless abyss of despair, devoid of any vitality or hope!

In such an environment, even the most optimistic person will feel depressed and negative.

It was in this darkness, like an abyss of death.

suddenly!

Two beams of light appeared!

The light was very faint, even fainter than the fireflies in the grass by the river in summer!
Yet these two faint rays of light instantly dispelled the deep darkness of deathly silence and despair.

In this frigid seabed, a flame of hope and warmth was ignited!
"It's done, Sequence 4, Demigod!"

The two faint lights grew brighter and brighter, revealing Mu Sheng's handsome face with its clear features.

A massive amount of spiritual energy circulated rapidly within his body, frantically tempering his physique, which contained terrifying power!

Skin, muscles, bones, organs—every cell in Mu Sheng's body underwent a transformation during this rigorous training.

A hazy, ethereal light emanated from his skin, illuminating the seabed for hundreds of meters around.

"Bang!!!"

Mu Sheng stretched out his palm and clenched it tightly, causing the surrounding seawater to boil and surge, producing a hollow, explosive sound.

"If I punch it, the Cedric will be reduced to a pile of rubble!"

"Its defenses are stronger, and its resistance to mystical methods such as divination and curses has also increased..."

Driven by a strong will, Mu Sheng quickly mastered the surge in power he possessed.

Although he didn't fully advance, the increase in strength brought about by moving from the middle sequence to the high sequence and transforming from a mortal into a demigod was terrifying.

But no matter how terrifying it is, it can't stop Mu Sheng from being an old man playing a secondary account, so he doesn't need an adjustment period at all!
In addition to the enhancement of the spiritual body, lower-level abilities such as 'travel' and 'gathering qi into soldiers' have also been greatly strengthened.

The number of Giant Seeds alone has exploded to 243!
"243, I've only given away 27. There are still over two hundred that need to be selected for hosts..."

Mu Sheng scratched his head. Just thinking about the terrifying increase in the later stages of this exponential explosion made him want to be lazy.

"I'm busy with the important task of saving the world; let Audrey handle this little thing!"

With a thought, he sent a message to Audrey, who was far away in Backlund, and passed the responsibility on to her.

Audrey, who was fast asleep, was suddenly awakened and exploded upon seeing the message from Mu Sheng.

Immediately afterwards, a barrage of messages came back!
"Does she have such a bad temper?"

Mu Sheng's lips twitched stiffly; he seemed to have underestimated the resentment of the working class.

"Young man, don't you understand that suffering a loss is a blessing? Increasing your workload is a way to train you. You're not only ungrateful, but you also have complaints."

That being said, Mu Sheng was not a heartless slave owner after all.

He traveled back to Backlund in a single 'time travel' and gave Audrey a large sum of money as a salary!
It wasn't until dawn the next day that he left behind the fully loaded Audrey and 'traveled' back to the deck of the Holy Light.

Leisurely reclining in the rocking chair, Mu Sheng watched the sunrise over the sea while opening the panel to check the relevant information for Sequence 4.

Sequence 4: Variables (1/3)

[Potion Ingredients: Any three Sequence 4 Extraordinary Properties (Incomplete)]

[Promotion Ceremony: Tear the script apart, change the world, and bring variables to the predetermined fate (Incomplete/Completed)]

"Huh? The promotion ceremony has changed!"

Mu Sheng gently touched the corresponding column with his mind, and a piece of information immediately appeared.

"..."
