The Forger of Strange Items Starting from Collapse

Theoretically, the Void Star God has no messengers, for IX never glances upon anyone. He has no form, no form, and no will. IX casts a shadow over everyone equally, though some wander further under his shadow, becoming tainted with more of the "nothingness." That's all.

"Tiernen, the sea patrolman." said the old man.

"You said my idea is impossible, but don't you also want to stay here for some strange reasons?" Chen Li said as he looked at the bloody spirit above the Dead Sea.

Mortals journey through life like boats across the water, leaving a winding path and spreading countless ripples of possibility. Compared to the fleeting nature of human life, these waves will linger for a long time. And some people, the traces of their existence are so strong that they leave their own reflections in these clusters of waves.

These are the shadows on the distant sea—the [Blood Guilt Spirits].

They are the obsessions of those who are destined to be killed. They were born from the shadow of IX, regard themselves as the victims, and unconsciously repeat the actions of the deceased.

They were born from nothingness, go towards nothingness, and spend their lives meaninglessly.

"Tiernan, you want to extradite these former companions, even if they are just blood-guilty spirits. And Huang Quan, you choose to help Tiernan in pursuit of the meaning of nothingness. Both of you have such nihilistic ideas, so it's normal for my ideas to be a little nihilistic." Chen Li spread his hands.

But this group of empty phantoms were once important companions of Tiernen, and they were also a group of sea patrollers.

Tiernan stands here to save them and extradite these souls.

Huang Quan stayed here to help Tiernan.

"That's right. How could ordinary people set foot here? Everyone who comes to this Dead Sea has their own reasons." Tiernan nodded slowly.

"Don't say that. I'm different from you. I got lost and came here." Chen Li shook his head frantically.

"Seeing you, I remembered a former companion... Are you also an unknown guest?" Huang Quan suddenly asked when he saw Chen Li's interested expression as he looked at the black hole in the sky.

"Why do you ask?" Chen Li asked back.

(Intelligence +1)

Huang Quan’s question not only attracted Chen Li, but also Tieran.

Tiernan was once an unknown guest and a former guard of the Starry Sky Train. He chose to get off the train in Pinocchio and became one of the outstanding generals during the Pinocchio War. However, he was later attacked by a swarm of insects and disappeared. Fortunately, he was rescued by the Sea Patrol Ranger and participated in the battle against the Extinction Lord Zhu Luo together with the Sea Patrol Ranger.

"I once had a friend, an unknown young girl, who planned to go to the depths of "IX", taking a path deeper and farther than Akivali..."

"I think she failed." Chen Li said.

"Yeah." Huang Quan slowly sheathed the long sword he had pulled out.

Huang Quan's memory is not very good, but drawing the sword helps Huang Quan restore his memory and make these memories clear.

No miracle happened, the friend just quietly turned into a pool of stagnant water.

"But I think she never regretted her choice." said the old unknown guest Tiernan.

"Yeah." Huang Quan nodded again.

"Come to think of it, I do seem to have a special affinity with development." Chen Li nodded.

Because the talent of a time traveler is to constantly explore different worlds.

Thinking of this, Chen Li suddenly felt that Akivali needed to move aside and let himself sit in the position of the pioneering star god.

"But your behavior tends to be more inclined to greed. What made you think of eating the black sun?" Huang Quan asked puzzledly.

"Maybe it's just my appetite? Because that black sun smells really good." Chen Li looked up at the black sun and said.

“…” Huang Quan fell silent.

Huang Quan traveled across the galaxy and met countless self-destructors and countless chaos doctors, but no one felt that nothingness smelled good after having any contact with it.

[Nothingness] Even the gluttonous Star God wouldn't eat something like this, right?

"Speaking of which... Tiernan, these bloody sinful spirits on the Dead Sea were once your companions, and they sacrificed themselves because of the expedition against the Lord of Extinction, Zhu Luo, right?" Chen Li looked at Tiernan.

"That's right." Tiernan nodded.

The Sea Patrol Ranger became famous for successfully assassinating the Extinction Lord Zhu Luo, but no one would remember the price except those who experienced it.

This is exactly why Tiernan wants to save these companions - he believes that these sea patrollers were heroes in their lifetime and should not become empty puppets after death.

"Then tell me...if your companions are still alive, do they want to be extradited like this, or do they want to kill another Lord of Extinction?" Chen Li suddenly became interested in this.

"This... I don't know." Tiernan's eyes, which were originally determined to save these companions, suddenly became a little confused.

"But your question should be meaningless, right? After all, this place is in the Dead Sea, and we don't have the Lord of Extinction who can take revenge." After a long while, Tiernan shook his head.

"Who said this is meaningless? And who said there is no Extinction Lord who can take revenge?"

"Ok?"

"Let me introduce myself. I come from a hundred years later. I have a close personal relationship with General Jing Yuan of the Luofu Immortal Boat. In the near future, the messenger of destruction, the Lord of Extinction, Huanlong, will use star cores to attack the Immortal Boat. If no one stops him, half of the Immortal Boat will be destroyed and countless lives will be lost." Chen Li said.

"Luofu Fairy Boat? Follower of the Great Lan God? So you are here to ask for help?" Tiernan's thoughts became a little confused.

Tie Ernan, the deceased formerly unknown guest.

That’s right, Tiernen is dead, and the one here is the bloody sin spirit Tiernen.

Tiernan's obsession is to save the souls of his dead comrades.

As one of the two major hunting factions, the sea patrollers have always had a good impression of the fairy boat.

"Ask for help? That's right, ask for help." Chen Li thought this was a good suggestion, so he decided to take advantage of it.

Help? There was no one Chen Li could ask for help! Unless her thighs were really white!

No, unless he has the entry that Chen Li really wants!

But the one in front of you is the Blood Guilty Spirit Tieran. It’s useless to use force against him, but you can use soft tactics.

The Sea Patrol Rangers are a group of chivalrous men who travel the universe to punish evil and promote good. They admire Lan's way of fighting violence with violence and praise Lan's decisiveness in killing. Like Lan, they believe that the kindness and justice of the universe must be upheld through personal actions, and they are constantly hunting down evil between planets.

Wherever there is injustice, there are sea patrol rangers!

Asking for help is a good excuse.

And although it is a bit like hell, but... Chen Li wanted to laugh when he thought of a group of blood-sinned spirits shouting about friendship and bonds, cursing the Great Lord of Extinction Zhu Luo, and beating up the Great Lord of Extinction Huanlong.

Ahem, don't laugh, this is a very serious matter!

"How do you want to prove your identity?" Tiernan asked.

"Is this okay?" Chen Li summoned the Longbow of Peace.

At this moment, the Peace Longbow is still filled with the power of hunting.

"The blessing of the Great Storm God?" Feeling the cold yet persistent power unique to the Hunting Star God, Tiernan no longer doubted Chen Li's identity.

"If possible, I would like to go with you, but I don't know what these friends think." Tiernan became hesitant.

As the sea patrol rangers who knew they would die but still dared to assassinate the Lord of Extinction, no one doubted their courage and determination to fight injustice.

Even if they transform into bloody sin spirits, they still remember their original intentions. After all, bloody sin spirits are the obsessions of those who walk on their destiny, and they keep repeating what they did in their lifetime!

However, faced with companions who had already died once, Tiernan, who was obsessed with extraditing these companions, was unable to respond to their request for help across time and space.

"Don't know? Then just ask." Chen Li took out a card from somewhere.

"This is?"

"This is a card that contains miraculous power. It has the power to make any living being or object answer your question once. Now I will give it to you." Chen Li handed the miracle card [Then Let Me Ask You] to Tiernan.

Tiernan looked at Chen Li, then at Huang Quan, and finally at the figures of his companions wandering on the Dead Sea. After pausing for a moment, he took the miracle card and walked towards the Dead Sea.

Chapter 174 Chen Li: If I resurrect a star god, won’t your balance explode?

"I'm fighting against the Extinction Lord Huanlong? Oh, damn, Tiernan, you're such a genius! Damn it!"

"That's the opinion of the first companion I asked. After getting Chen Li's agreement, I randomly selected a second companion to ask. The answer I got was: Zhu Luo is the Great Lord of Extinction, and Huan Long is also the Great Lord of Extinction. We can kill Zhu Luo... Oh, Tiernan, don't worry about how we kill him. We can also kill Huan Long! If we can kill the Great Lord of Extinction twice with one life, why not do it?"

"In summary, on behalf of my companions, I have decided to respond to your request for help. Let the Sea Patrol Ranger be great again! And I... will be waiting here for my companions to return." Although Tiernan's voice was hoarse, his tone was very firm when he said this.

"Chen Li? Chen Li? Tie'ernan agreed to this request for help." Huang Quan called Chen Li for a long time without hearing any response from Chen Li. He turned around and saw Chen Li holding the miracle card to his chest, looking extremely distressed.

"Ah? Oh, then please thank him for me." Chen Li said as he looked at the only remaining use on the "Then let me ask you" miracle card.

"So when do you plan to leave?" Huang Quan had never expected that this trip to the Dead Sea would end so quickly. This was an experience he had never had before.

“Sixty years later.”

"what?"

"You should have noticed it, right? Although they all gave very precise answers when asking the bloody spirits questions using this miracle card, after the miracle card ended, they once again wandered unconsciously above the Dead Sea. When Tiernan saw all this and made the decision to respond to the request for help, he still had hesitation in his heart." Chen Li said after putting away the miracle card.

"Yeah." Huang Quan nodded.

Obviously, for Tiernan, witnessing his "comrades" who died in the crusade against the Lord of Extinction die again in the crusade against the Lord of Extinction was not the most perfect ending in his mind.

"Huang Quan, do you have your own things to do?" Chen Li suddenly asked.

"No." Huang Quan shook his head.

"So...are you going to stay here for a while?"

"It's all fine." Huang Quan didn't ask Chen Li why he wanted to stay here for a while, nor did he ask how long this period of time was.

After becoming a self-destructor due to the curse of nothingness, Huang Quan's only remaining goal is to guard the road leading to the abyss of "nothingness", lead every life that does not want to fall into "nothingness" back to the original world, and pursue nothingness.

"What should we do next? How can we get to the exact time point a hundred years later?" Tiernan walked up to Chen Li and asked.

"The hunting patrol's arrows can be fired last but arrive first, so naturally they can also be fired first but arrive later. It is not impossible to gather countless blood sin spirits and shoot an arrow to let him reach the time when he needs help a hundred years later. The hunting patrol's will to die will not subside until the end of his life, which is why the blood sin spirits of these sea patrol rangers float on the Dead Sea. But do you really want them to attack in the form of blood sin spirits?" Chen Li asked Tie'ernan.

"What do you mean?"

"The hunting blessing on this longbow is the most inconspicuous thing about it." Chen Li temporarily took the Peace Longbow from Kikyo's hand instead of using projection.

Because this time Chen Li may need to use the Peace Longbow for a long time.

"Is there anything else besides this?" Tiernan was curious.

"And there is hell." Chen Li threw the longbow of peace far away, and then there was a loud bang, and a huge building fell from the sky and appeared on the shore of the Dead Sea.

The gate of the gloomy yet magnificent mansion burst open, and countless demons of various shapes slowly walked out of the cave.

Looking at the shadows of these demons, Huang Quan subconsciously placed his hand on his long sword.

"Get out of here." Chen Li casually shouted at the group of demons.

The sinful demons were stunned for a moment, then made way for the mansion and presented the scene behind the mansion gate to everyone.

Behind the mansion is a hell. At first glance, it is gloomy and quite similar to the Dead Sea.

"Everyone, welcome to the underworld." Chen Li said to the two people behind him.

"After killing sinful people, this longbow will restrain their souls and place them in this hell, causing them to suffer eternal torture. This provides power for the bow, and at the critical moment, these evil souls can be released to help fight the enemy." Chen Li walked into this hell with Huang Quan and Tie Ernan.

In fact, this is the internal space of the Peace Longbow, but it is now concrete.

"Very good, this is very hunting. But do you mean to use this longbow to kill the blood sin spirit?" Tiernan couldn't help but say.

Although wherever there is injustice, there are sea patrol rangers, the sea patrol rangers who advocate fighting violence with violence and praise decisive killing are obviously not good guys.

Or rather, the Sea Rangers are a rather extreme group of people in this universe.

For them, if the souls of these sinful bastards can be exchanged for even 1 credit point to help others, or even help themselves, it is worth it.

"How is that possible? Am I such a wicked person in your eyes?" Chen Li looked at Tierennan in surprise.

The Blood Guilt Spirit is the obsession of the Destiny Walkers. In other words, it is equivalent to a Destiny Walker suffering from depression, especially Tiernan in front of him.

Anyone who has suffered from depression knows that although there are many ways to treat depression, improper use may make people with depression more depressed.

Let me put it this way, if Chen Li killed all the blood sin spirits and put them into the space within the Peace Longbow in order to take this group of people with him to fight against the Lord of Extinction Huanlong a hundred years later, what is the difference between that and a parent who throws away the cat they have raised for a year because they want to save some money to buy medicine for their child's depression?

How abstract must Chen Li’s train of thought be to come up with this method?

"What I mean is that you can bring your companions into this underworld and cleanse them in this pool. At least these sea patrollers who have mustered up the courage to fight against the Lord of Extinction for justice can behave like human beings." After Chen Li led Huang Quan and Tie'ernan into hell, he pointed to a huge pool that was almost blocking the entrance to the underworld and said.

"What is this pool?" asked Tiernan.

"The Pool of Rebirth. One of the wonders of hell in the underworld. A means of punishing evil spirits. The more serious the sins of the soul that comes into the Peace Longbow, the more painful it will be when soaking in this pool. It is one of the places where the Peace Longbow absorbs the energy of pain." Chen Li answered Tiernan's question.

The energy source of the Peace Longbow is obtained by torturing evil spirits, so this underworld is full of hellish wonders of torturing evil spirits.

"Furthermore, this Rebirth Pool has an effect. When evil spirits tortured beyond recognition by other punishments are thrown into the pool, it slowly restores their original appearance, allowing them to regain consciousness and reset their tolerance for pain, allowing them to continue to torture these evil spirits and more easily provide pain energy."

"In other words... throwing the Blood Spirit in might help them restore their original appearance. And since the Sea Patrol Rangers usually punish evil and promote good, it won't be too painful after entering. At most, it will be like a hot spring. Brother Tiernan, do you want to go in and take a bath?" Chen Li asked.

"I don't need that. So what we need to do now is to extradite them to this pool and soak them?" Tiernan shook his head and rejected Chen Li's proposal.

"Almost. However, this Rebirth Pool has a drawback. The function of restoring the soul to consciousness and returning to its original appearance is not free. It requires the consumption of the painful energy generated by the tortured evil spirits to maintain it... Perhaps it is due to limited budget."
