I am the final demon god

After a century of pollution from the abyss's energy, the mountains and rivers of this world are filled with giant monsters and demonic creatures, making the living environment extremely harsh.

In particular, some venomous insects, after mutation, not only increase in size by more than ten times, but also become incredibly venomous.

Therefore, the old-fashioned villages and towns have disappeared, replaced by large cities with concentrated populations.

Jiangzhou, where Chen Zheng lives, has a permanent population of over nine million, is divided into more than twenty urban districts, and has a radiation range of over six hundred kilometers, making it a very prosperous city.

In terms of education, twelve years of compulsory education are implemented, and they begin to come into contact with cultivation in high school as their physical development is complete.

Of course, due to differences in physique, personality, comprehension, and learning ability, not everyone can cultivate and become a martial arts master.

Therefore, high school is also a period of streaming.

Chen Zheng had only average talent in cultivation since childhood, but he excelled in rune theory courses and was admitted to Jiangzhou University, one of the four top martial arts universities in Jiangzhou, as a liberal arts student.

In this world where martial arts flourish, many professions are related to the extraordinary.

Some top figures in certain industries may not be particularly strong, but even a martial saint at the pinnacle of power would not dare to underestimate them and would even treat them with great respect.

For example, the Rune Mechanics major develops various rune missiles that are not only incredibly powerful but also have low energy consumption.

The most powerful of these is the energy rune missile, which is even more powerful than a hydrogen bomb and has no radiation pollution. It is an important strategic tool for humanity to fight against powerful beings from other planes.

Time slipped away as Chen Zheng flipped through his memories. By the time he came to his senses, the bus had already stopped at the gate of Jiangzhou University.

Jiangzhou University has a very large campus.

Chen Zheng entered from the south gate and walked along the main road for almost twenty minutes before reaching the first fork in the road.

The road signs indicate three directions: Martial Arts Department, Rune Academy, and Materials Science and Engineering Department. The buildings extending out in each direction seem to stretch endlessly, like a city within a city.

On both sides of the main road grows a mutated tree species called "Hemlock," with dark silver bark, which is said to have been transplanted from a fragment of a certain plane.

This plant can absorb free energy from the high altitude and transform it into purer spiritual energy for people to absorb.

Therefore, each hemlock tree is a miniature purification node, and when thousands of trees are connected together, the energy concentration of the entire campus is twice as high as that of the outside world.

This is a basic application of the rune matrix, somewhat similar to the immortal cultivation formations in Earth's legends, but also different.

After walking for more than half an hour, Chen Zheng finally arrived at the Rune Academy's office building, a seven-story gray-white building.

The building's exterior walls are embedded with more than a dozen huge energy monitoring screens, which display the concentration, flow, and loss rate of psionic energy in various areas of the campus in real time.

The data refreshes every three seconds, with dense numbers and arrows flowing across the screen, making it dizzying to look at.

Six auxiliary buildings extend from both sides of the main building, which are the teaching buildings for the six departments of Structural Theory, Spiritual Path Foundation, Rune Literature, Energy Dynamics, Earth Vein Science, and Applied Array Formation.

Further away are several independent laboratory buildings and training bases, where students can be seen entering and exiting.

Today is the last day for school registration, and the hall is very crowded.

"Chen Zheng, you only arrived on the last day too." As he spoke, a young man with glasses and delicate features approached.

Chen Zheng shrugged: "Otherwise, there's nothing to do if you come early."

The young man's name was Jiang Mo. He and Chen Zheng were both students in Class 9 of the Rune Academy. They had gotten along quite well during their first semester of freshman year.

As they were talking, the two arrived at a sign-in machine. Jiang Mo reached out and touched his personal terminal on the machine, and his personal information immediately popped up on the screen.

Next up is Chen Zheng.

Chen Zheng, Class 9, Freshman Year, Department of Runes, Student ID 64019852.

Fingerprint confirmation.

Energy ripples confirmed.

Room 502, Building D, Dormitory.

After the two finished registering and signing in, Jiang Mo was about to say something when he suddenly looked out of the hall and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh no, it's the class monitor, Chen Zheng. I'm leaving first."

As he spoke, Jiang Mo lowered his body and slipped towards the side door under the cover of the people around him.

As soon as Jiang Mo disappeared, Chen Zheng smelled a faint jasmine fragrance. He then saw a beautiful girl in a white long dress with long black hair appear before him.

Most importantly, this girl has a great figure; she has a slender waist, but her breasts are full and round like a melon...

"Wow, that's huge. Are you sure this is a real person?" The girl had just arrived in front of Chen Zheng when, before Chen Zheng could even speak, the chuunibyou-esque thoughts of Chen Zheng echoed in his mind.

Li Tang looked around, then asked Chen Zheng, "Chen Zheng, where's Jiang Mo?"

"He ran away as soon as he saw you, class monitor, heading that way." Chen Zheng pointed towards the side door, showing no remorse for betraying his friend.

"Damn it!" Li Tang stomped her foot, her chest trembling, and hurriedly chased after him.

"There's nothing wrong with the cards." Chen Zheng, a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), exclaimed, "I never thought that such a figure from a comic book could actually exist in real life. Suddenly, I'm starting to like the three-dimensional world."

"Are you sure you're not just lusting after her body?"

Chen Zheng, a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) student, protested: "I admire her, but if you want to have a campus romance with her, I won't stop you."

"Don't think about it. The class monitor and Jiang Mo are childhood sweethearts."

"They're childhood sweethearts! What an enviable start to life. I wish we had that too," Chen Zheng, a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), said with envy.

After all, having a childhood sweetheart who likes you and is also very beautiful is indeed something to yearn for.

"Yes, brother."

"What?!"

Chen Zheng, a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), immediately became excited: "Isn't our childhood sweetheart pretty? Is she gentle and cute, or has a mature and alluring charm? How does her figure compare to anime beauties?"

"Can't you just look at your memories to know these things?" Chen Zheng said speechlessly.

"I'm not looking, there's too much information and it gives me a headache. Come on, tell me." Chen Zheng, a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) student, remained as steadfast in his belief that he "didn't want to study."

Faced with the urging, Chen Zheng simply shook his head: "In terms of looks, she's much prettier than the class monitor, but she has a somewhat strong personality and isn't easy to get along with."

"Alright, let's not talk about that. Weren't you grinding for experience? Why did you suddenly come over?"

Getting down to business, Chen Zheng, a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), couldn't help but complain: "Those cave maps are too big. It took me ages to kill just two small monsters."

"And the amount of life essence obtained is pitifully small."

As he spoke, a stream of memory information from the chuunibyou Chen Zheng was shared.

In the darkness, the tail of a hideous abyssal earth dragon was pulled from the dried corpse of a worm-like creature, more than three meters long, covered with sharp steel bristles.

There was another monster corpse of the same size nearby.

The abyssal earth dragon, after devouring two demons, grew from 2.7 meters to 2.9 meters in length, but only gained 2 points of life essence, compared to 1 point for each of the two demons.

"So few." Chen Zheng was somewhat surprised.

This steel-haired worm monster resembles a buffalo and is dozens of times larger than those newly hatched primitive monsters.

Even a primitive monster that hasn't grown up has 2 points of life essence, and this was when the Abyss Earth Dragon's conversion rate was only 11%.

With the added benefit of the Bloodthirsty Tail Spike, the Abyss Earth Dragon's Devouring Conversion Rate reached 26%, more than doubling.

"It seems to be due to the life level."

Although the primordial monsters are initially weak, they are creatures capable of growing into abyssal demon gods, which is incomparable to these ordinary abyssal monsters.

Besides this, Chen Zheng, who was a bit of a chuunibyou, also discovered a hole in their souls, about one cubic meter in size, similar to a game backpack, which could be used to store items.

At this moment, in the illusory space deep within the soul, there lies a stone from the depths of the abyss.

This is also why Chen Zheng, who is in his teens, came to find him. He wanted to see if Chen Zheng could take out the stone. If he could, the value of the space would be much greater.

This means that resources can be exchanged between the human world and the abyss of hell.

"There are too many people around here, I'll try again when I get back to the dorm."

"it is good."

Because martial arts and rune studies are very private, university dormitories are all single rooms, and each department's dormitory area occupies a large area, with rows of hundred-story buildings standing tall.

Dormitory No. 2, 5th Floor, Area D.

Although the dormitory is a single room, the bed, desk, and wardrobe only take up a quarter of the space, making it more than 60 square meters, which is very spacious.

The sun shines brightly outside the window, revealing the canopy of the hemlock trees and the gray-white exterior of the Rune Academy's main building.

Chen Zheng lived in this dormitory last semester. After washing the sheets and blankets, he did not bring them back. Today, he only carried a backpack containing clothes.

Chen Zheng placed his backpack on the table and used his mind to sense the stone in his soul space. Instantly, his hand felt heavy, and the stone appeared in his hand.

"Ha... Just as I expected, it can indeed be taken out." Chen Zheng, a chuunibyou, said excitedly.

Chen Zheng smiled and said, "This is indeed good news."

Having finished his business, Chen Zheng, a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), prepared to leave: "This king is going back to continue grinding 'experience' and see if I can trigger my first evolution today."

"Call me when you evolve," Chen Zheng reminded him.

"What, you want to attend the ceremony?"

"No, I'm just afraid you'll do something reckless."

"How is that possible?"

Sensing the departure of another thought from his consciousness, Chen Zheng sat down in the chair, his gaze thoughtful.

Compared to the simple and brutal talent of plundering from the Abyss Body, his awakened talent of plundering all spirits is more complex.

Currently, all we know is that it can plunder the pure medicinal power from spiritual herbs and the active elements from extraordinary minerals to enhance itself, but the effects are still unclear.

It seems I need to try a different herb.

As Chen Zheng pondered this, he began to organize his assets.

His personal terminal balance of new crystal coins is 1500 yuan, which is his living expenses for this month.

The purchasing power of currency in the new era is similar to that on Earth. The average salary for ordinary people is between three thousand and ten thousand yuan. Rice costs three yuan per kilogram, and meat costs about ten yuan per kilogram.

Because both brothers attend martial arts university, Chen Zheng and Chen Ye only receive 1,500 yuan per month for basic living expenses.

However, at Martial Arts University, the new crystals are only for daily living expenses; students' cultivation resources mainly come from school points.

School personal points account: 18 points.

"It's only 18 PM, that's a bit low."

Chen Zheng frowned slightly.

In terms of value, 1 school point is equal to 100 yuan, and the points are obtained from four sources: martial arts quota, academic performance, grade ranking, and task rewards.

The points for martial arts quotas are distributed monthly based on the student's level, with 12 points per month for a Level 1 martial artist, increasing by 2 points for each subsequent level.

For example, Chen Zheng is a level four martial artist, and he has a fixed quota of 18 points per month, which was transferred to his personal account just now during the report.

As for other ways to earn points, they are not available at the moment because school starts tomorrow.
