The whole world fell into chaos in this crazy wave.
The result of the madness in the chaos is undoubtedly... destruction.
Countless monsters called "Fallen" were once Yuan beasts, practitioners of hundreds of races, ordinary people, etc., all of them became crazy, bloodthirsty and powerful after falling into depravity.
They ruthlessly destroyed everything around them, attacking hundreds of races, even the powerful immortal race and the abyss ghost insects that were once the nightmare of hundreds of races.
Yes, even the brutal abyss seemed to be slaughtered and swallowed without any resistance in front of the other party... However, this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that after being attacked, any existence that is contaminated by this kind of energy will be assimilated and degenerate into a fallen existence like them.
The entire world was instantly plunged into a predicament on the brink of destruction. This tragic situation even surpassed the miserable state of the war between the ghost insects and the hundreds of races: the hundreds of races were almost wiped out, and the abyss became a complete birthplace of the fallen. And the only ones left were the living creatures that still existed in these border cities on the edge of the continent.
Yes, they are the last survivors of the world. Perhaps they are not destined to die, or perhaps even the heavens cannot bear to see such a tragic situation. When the disaster spread to them, the existence called "God" came at the brink of destruction!
The god known as the 'Dream God' descended from the sky and used his vast divine power to build a protection for them that was lower than that of the fallen, bringing the entire city under his protection.
At the same time, under the organization and guidance of this dream god, the residents of the surviving city began to be reborn after receiving the blessing from the gods. Not only did they gradually become immune to the corrupted energy of the fallen with terrifying infectious ability, even their own strength began to undergo earth-shaking changes.
It is said that although the corrupted spiritual power has the effect of corrupting people, if one can develop antibodies against it, one can gain powerful strength from it.
Although not everyone in this city is lucky enough to obtain this antibody, there is no doubt that the success rate has greatly increased after receiving the blessing of the God of Dreams.
Thus, the city was finally saved. However, Lord Dream God's power was still limited after all. It was impossible for him to protect the safety of the city all the time, let alone leave the city to protect the world.
According to Lord Dream God, when the end of the world broke out, the ancient gods would simply scatter around to protect the flame of life as much as possible... In other words, they are now doing their utmost to stop the corrupted energy, and they have even lost the ability to fight back due to the huge consumption.
In such a situation, such a selfless act...how touching, grateful and heart-warming it is!
It is precisely because of this that, as the entire protected city, they are also willing to contribute their faith and successfully love the Dream God as their patron saint.
And although the Dream Goddess also said that she was just an ordinary ancient god and could not lead everyone out of the city and fight back against the fallen, but at least the power under her sleeping state would be transformed into protection to ensure the safety of every citizen in the city.
It is under this kind of protection that the people who have the city as their base can gradually expand outward from this center:
I believe there must be survivors in this world. As long as we can find them and unite with them, we will naturally be able to expand our own power and eventually fight back to take back the world that belongs to them.
This is the guidance given by the Dream God, and it has also been their goal and motivation for many years.
The Lord of Dreams was merciful, and in order to prevent them from collapsing in this oppressive environment due to the thought of the end of the world, he kindly cast a powerful dream on the entire city, exhausting the last of his divine power:
Whenever they fall asleep at night, they will return to the once peaceful era in the 'dreamland' created by the Lord God of Dreams, back to the time when the world had not yet ended and the small city was still so bustling with traffic.
And this... is the only paradise in the hearts of the residents of these cities facing the end of the world.
It is the existence of this paradise that preserves the last bit of beauty in their hearts, preventing them from suffering a mental breakdown in the face of the desperate reality. Therefore, for the power and greatness of Lord Dream God, the residents of this city that is still struggling to survive in the doomsday all believe in each other from the bottom of their hearts, respect each other, and love each other devoutly.
"Emmmm...how should I put it? It's just...an alternate world version of Resident Evil~~"
"Yeah, and it also adds elements of faith and the theme of a post-apocalyptic island... It's like the world really is destroyed, and we're the only ones left alive..."
Standing in this familiar yet unfamiliar street that seemed bustling but inexplicably had a lifeless feeling, looking at the various residents coming and going, each of them looking rather disheveled and... dirty, as well as the dilapidated buildings around them, Yuhuan and Ying started to complain in their hearts.
Ten minutes ago, Yu Huan rushed into the white light of the City Lord's Mansion, and after a dizzying moment of light, he came to this... dream.
Then, after analyzing the rules here through the library, Yu Huan roughly understood the setting of the current dream. Putting aside other things, the most interesting thing is that for these people in front of Yu Huan who are still "dreaming" at this moment, the environment they are in at this moment seems to be real.
And the bustling, busy city scene that I saw before seemed to be what they considered to be a so-called... dream?
Where the hell did this pirated version of The Matrix get plagiarized from?
He made such a complaint in his heart because there was really no one living there. After an in-depth analysis in the library, Yu Huan finally understood the "setting" of this world and... the way this so-called Lord Dream God collected faith.
The world is really destroyed, you are the only hope of the world, and I am your only hope, the final savior.
It is obvious that facing a group of "desperate" people, the existence of the savior is so worshipped and respected. It is also under this kind of belief that comes from the heart or is like the last pillar that the faith generated is undoubtedly the purest and the product most loved by the ancient gods.
I have to say that Lord Dream God is really a... very thoughtful person.
And in this thought, I don’t know if it was an illusion, but after looking at Ying, they both had the same thought: Why do I always have a sense of déjà vu?
This kind of complaints are full of plagiarism and clichéd settings... coupled with the two people's previous bold guesses, combining the two, after eliminating all impossibilities, the final result seems a bit incredible and coincidental, but it seems to be... the final answer?
"Well, anyway... let's take a look first."
It's just that it's still a little difficult to get a definite answer from the initial observation. Anyway, there's still time, and Yu Huan doesn't mind taking a good look at this so-called 'doomsday' world.
As for how to observe... I just ask you, do you like sitting next to the computer and watching your brother happily playing games while you watch happily, or do you like sitting next to the computer and playing games happily yourself?
So isn’t Yuhuan’s answer very simple?
"Let's go hunt the Fallen. It seems the 'Fallen Fragments' obtained from hunting the Fallen here are not only good for improving strength, but also the main currency for transactions here."
She was very excited to experience the feeling of being a doomsday survivor, but even though Yu Huan imposed a strength limit on herself, to be honest, the difficulty that this magically modified doomsday world of Resident Evil and The Matrix could cause her was almost... close to zero.
The key is to have fun.
"Well, sister, as long as you are happy."
Anyway, Ying had no intention of stopping Yu Huan. As she was talking, Yu Huan was already running towards the outside of the city with great interest. His target: the doomsday world outside the city!
Hunting the Fallen and so on... What makes Yu Huan curious is that he also wants to see how big the other party's kingdom of God is... After all, even in the dream world, the rule system of the kingdom of God is limited, and the size of the kingdom of God itself is the best way to measure the strength of an ancient god.
If it was just a high-level god, then Yu Huan would be killed instantly. If it was a main god, it would naturally bring some trouble. And if it was at the level of the God of Heavenly Law...
Emmm... Forget it. There are only a few ancient gods of that level. Not to mention that they look down on the so-called faith of this small city, there is no dream system in the other party's "rules", so this is basically impossible.
So to sum up... Yu Huan is an 'invincible' existence here, the kind that he can't lose even if a flying dragon hits his face!
172. Hunting Observation
In the dark and eerie forest, the flickering dark blue light adds a sense of horror. From time to time, some sounds coming from afar are like the roars and howls of wild beasts, making people tremble involuntarily just by listening to them.
However, at this moment, in such a forest that looks so terrifying but is actually very dangerous, a cruel... massacre is taking place.
The massacre was carried out by a girl in a white dress with long brown hair in twin ponytails. Although it was called a massacre, in fact, those around her at this moment... perhaps they were no longer alive, but they were no longer considered life at all.
"Meteor strikes!"
A proud shout came out from the girl's mouth, and pink magic light flashed slightly in her azure eyes. Countless pink light balls were already surrounding her like meteors. With the girl's finger lightly tapped, they shot quickly towards the black shadows in all directions in the next second.
“Swish, swish, swish~~”
Under the illumination of the pink light, the black shadows flickered, but one could still vaguely see their human appearance. However, at this moment, these people had long lost their proof of life: black mist permeated their bodies, and they moved like puppets, stiff yet agile like wild animals. All that could be vaguely seen was the rotten flesh all over their bodies and the exposed white bones in some places.
Just like a corpse resurrected by a necromancer, after smelling the breath of the living on Yu Huan, they attacked her madly without hesitation... Of course, from the beginning until now, no one has been able to get within three meters of Yu Huan.
There was no need to use any big moves or let Sakura come out to play. He just had a meteor attack surrounding him. Whenever a zombie came towards him, it would be hit directly by the pink magic light bullet, and finally disappear in front of Yu Huan as if it had vaporized.
As these "zombies" disappeared, gray auras visible to the naked eye emerged from them, seemingly trying to enter Yu Huan's body.
This is the so-called product that can strengthen the human body. It is the "gift" from the rules after killing the Fallen, and it can make people stronger.
However, putting aside the fact that Yu Huan has already reached his limit and has no possibility or need to continue to grow stronger, it is obvious that in Yu Huan's eyes, he can see its true function at a glance:
"What a talent! He's integrated his rules into these monsters, and made those who thought they were in a dream fight them to gain strength. Actually, he's selecting the strongest, letting them assimilate his rules, and gradually becoming his servants over time... This guy has quite the idea."
Only one person is allowed to pass through a road. The guy who set up the huge dream obviously has the qualifications to pass this road, but it does not prevent him from setting up a few more forks on the road behind him.
As long as someone takes this fork and comprehends his own rules through the laws he left behind, then unless his understanding of the rules surpasses his own in an instant, he will only become his subordinate under the rule system.
This is also the approach taken by many gods when giving power to their believers. Although faith and strength have nothing to do with each other, it is obvious that the stronger the believers become, the better they can collect faith, right?
Anyway, he is at the 'top' of the rule system, and his followers have no possibility of surpassing him. This is almost equivalent to having several more loyal thugs. Why not do it?
The organization of this dream world is naturally the same... This huge dream is simply the kingdom of the hidden ancient god.
By manipulating the Kingdom of God, he created such a doomsday world and made everyone think that he saved everything, so they worshipped him and devoted their faith to him.
Then he used his own rules to create the so-called Fallen outside, making these people more convinced that they were in the end of the world, and they would hunt the Fallen in order to survive and become stronger.
Furthermore, the gods were not lying in this regard. Hunting the Fallen could indeed make one stronger. After all, that was equivalent to directly integrating the power of the rules that he had used to create the Fallen.
Even if it is just a tiny bit, it is a good thing that is enough to make an ordinary person become a strong person instantly.
After receiving this benefit, not only will they become more loyal to Lord Dream God, but as their strength increases, they can also become his believers or even fanatical believers.
Well, in a sense, it is a win-win result...if we ignore the fact that one of the parties is being deceived.
"boring……"
Feeling the gray light generated by the aura of rules all around, Yu Huan, after dealing with these fallen ones, was a little bored and crushed a gray gas in his hand directly, and then said so.
At first I said it just because I wanted to experience what fun the so-called 'end of the world' was, but now that the experience is over... it's time to get down to business.
"Sister, do you want to go look for that ancient god now?"
Hearing Yuhuan say this, Ying immediately asked, to which Yuhuan nodded indifferently. Just as he was about to speak, his eyes suddenly looked in a direction not far away.
"somebody is coming?"
A curious voice came out of her mouth, and it didn't seem strange under the interested words. After all, Yu Huan didn't restrain himself at all during the battle just now, so it didn't seem strange that the atmosphere of battle would attract some people who happened to be hunting outside.
Just when he was thinking this, he raised his eyebrows slightly the next second:
"Wait, something doesn't seem right..."
As she said this, she looked towards a certain direction of the forest, and saw that there, accompanied by a slight sound, a group of figures wrapped in black robes from head to toe, even their heads were tightly wrapped, landed not far from Yu Huan.
Looking around, he didn't see any figures, but the traces of fighting were so obvious. Seeing this, the men in black looked at each other and began to investigate the surroundings.
Yu Huan, who was standing next to one of the men in black, watched with great interest as an inexplicable energy emerged from his body. He then carefully used his power to cover the surroundings, as if searching for something with a radar.
As the other party searched, soon a stream of black air that Yu Huan disliked floated out from it, and then gradually condensed into gray crystal fragments in the hands of these people.
Yu Huan, who was standing aside and had blurred his own concepts, suddenly understood: this was probably some kind of method to extract these gray auras. After all, it was said before that the products obtained by killing these fallen ones could not only improve strength but also contain shares that could be traded as currency.
If the gray aura is absorbed directly when the fallen are killed, then it will obviously have no meaning as currency. Therefore, this method of extracting the gray aura is obviously not that strange.
What really concerned Yu Huan was the aura of these people... Their strength was just so-so, the key point was...
"These people... do not have the aura of faith in the Ancient Gods."
As Yu Huan raised his eyebrows to observe, Ying's voice also sounded in his ears:
"They seem to have never absorbed these fragments of rules, nor have they devoted their faith to the ancient gods of this dream."
Yes, this is what Yu Huan felt was wrong about these people.
Among these people who were in a dream in a kingdom of God... there were actually some who remained awake and did not enter the dream (contributing their faith). This immediately made Yu Huan feel some emotions towards these people at this moment. He watched with interest as these people collected all the gray crystals around them, and then saw them gather together again.
There was no communication, no stopping, just a simple nod to each other, and the next second the figures scattered and ran away in all directions, choosing to escape without saying a word.
Of course, escaping is escaping, but for Yu Huan, it is not so difficult that he can't even keep an eye on a few people. While watching these people disappear into the darkness of the forest, Yu Huan just stood there and touched his smooth chin for a long time before smiling and saying:
"It seems that things... seem to be a little more interesting than I thought."
Originally, Yu Huan thought it was just a clichéd apocalyptic dungeon. After playing for a while, he got tired of it and planned to kill the ancient god directly and end the mission.
But he never expected to find such an interesting group of people here. Yu Huan immediately became interested and suddenly turned sideways and spoke to the person behind him, as if talking to himself or giving an order:
"Keep an eye on those people and don't act rashly."
Behind him, there seemed to be a ripple-like outline in the invisible air that moved slightly, and then disappeared silently behind Yu Huan.
After finishing all this, Yu Huan stretched out his arms and said casually:
"Then... let's go back to sleep."
As he spoke, the figure slowly floated up and flew towards the distant city, leaving behind only the devastated forest environment still dotted with holes created by the explosion.
However, not long after Yu Huan left, the air suddenly began to twist again, and soon an invisible wave appeared around. Under the wave, the messy traces of battle visible to the naked eye began to disappear little by little.
The ground that had been blown up was filled up, the fallen trees grew back, and even the fallen ones who had been destroyed by Yu Huan and then had their crystal cores taken away slowly emerged in the gray light.
"Woooooo~~"
Amidst the shrill cries in the darkness, it was as if the battle just now had never happened, the forest... was still filled with fear.
173. Savior
The huge city looks like a ring with circles inside each other when viewed from a high place, and the highest point is undoubtedly the City Lord's Mansion in the center. Extending outward from this are the people of different classes living in this city.
Here, the outermost direction is obviously the dirtiest and most chaotic corner of the city, and is also the so-called legendary "slum".
Just by walking into such an outer alley, anyone can see that the scenery here is completely different and out of place from the outside:
The muddy road was covered with mud and small puddles whose specific color could not be seen. The houses around it were simply built with stones and wooden boards, which were simply covered with a few rags to become the so-called "living" place.
Although there were people coming and going just like in the city, the atmosphere was completely different and lively:
Their entire bodies were wrapped in pitch-black robes, and even under the broad sun, their figures were still hidden, not even their faces were revealed as they walked along the streets.
Although the environment was bustling with people, it strangely revealed an atmosphere of silence. Both the black-robed people walking around and those who looked like vendors setting up stalls on both sides tried their best not to make any noise. Even when they were trading with each other, they only looked at each other for a moment, and then completed the transaction directly by some unknown method.
And in this strange and somewhat eerie street environment, in some alley corners farther away, some black-robed people were hiding and whispering to each other, constantly looking at the street, as if they were patrolling in the shadows, their eyes were full of vigilance and a hint of... fear.
