Origin Paradise!

[Executor's Exclusive Notice: You have 30 minutes left before death]

Jiang He calmly activated the Time Ring, and the nine black and white longswords disappeared instantly. But when the power of time subsided, the deathly aura accumulated by the deaths of all living beings in the fortress resurfaced.

[Executor's Exclusive Notice: You have 8 hours left before death]

"There's something there," Jiang He thought to himself. The most obvious manifestation of death eroding life force is a feeling of weakness and limpness throughout the body.

Not far away, Lilith crossed her arms and said seriously, "Besides you, no non-hero can survive this sword strike. This should be a powerful killing move prepared for full heroes."

"The formation composed of nine immortal secret swords has already locked onto you. The dead on the ground are the energy source. Time restoration alone is not enough to solve the problem unless we find a way to lock onto you. Targeted activation of the time ring would be effective."

"Otherwise, it will slowly wear down. There is no inexhaustible energy source. If the sword formation wants to maintain this level of lethality, it will consume a lot of energy. At most, it will take a month. After all, there are very few abnormal beings who can revive three times a day."

Lilith practically stated, "For a hero to combine such a ruthless sword technique that can bypass the time loop, the accumulation of array formations would take years. What you are encountering now is roughly the application of such accumulated adaptability."

"The First True Ancestor?"

"The probability of the second possibility existing is not high."

After a moment's consideration, Lilith swallowed back a certain guess: the death of living beings actually has a special effect on the power of the local world consciousness, and her own child might have suffered some kind of "undeserved disaster".

"You killed too many monarchs too quickly, which aroused public anger, and that was to be expected. In addition, the fact that the enemy is targeting you like this means that they know about the existence of the time loop."

Jiang He remained noncommittal. He was still missing three more swords to collect them all, and the First True Ancestor did not want that moment to arrive so soon.

The key point is—it's not that we don't want it, but we don't want it to be too fast. The opponent wants the seven swords to gather at the right time, otherwise they can launch an attack right at the beginning, or even rush in directly.

Jiang He asked, "If we leave the fortress, can we cut off the energy supply to the sword formation?"

Lilith shrugged and said earnestly, "In the apocalypse, what if there are even more lives lost outside the fortress?"

Jiang He remained silent, so he took the opportunity to continue improving himself and maintaining his survival. He needed to recover through time cycles two or three times a day. During this time, he was not suitable for high-intensity combat, except for crushing weaker opponents.

It's worth mentioning that the fortress right now is truly a post-apocalyptic world, where ordinary creatures can only struggle to survive.

Jiang He activated the power of the Gluttonous Lord.

With the three spatial abilities of King's Landing, Night Hunter, and Flashblade Elegy infused into his Power Space, his status has now reached the Immortal level due to the advancement in his life level.

[Hint: Your spatial authority has been upgraded to Immortal level]

Jiang He opened the spatial passage, but did not enter it. Instead, he used his self-control to adjust it, and the spatial passage gradually shrank, becoming an extremely thin line.

The line shot out, splitting the area in front of it in two. The cut was clean and its sharpness even slightly surpassed that of the Dragon Lance's sub-legendary level. One of the pieces of canned food was teleported away from the middle, while the two sides remained, causing massive damage.

"Dragon Spear Technique - Spatial Slash".

"But this move needs to take into account the world's energy level and durability. With immortal-level spatial power, it is estimated that it will be difficult to use spatial slash in a fifth-order world. Simple teleportation is not a big problem."

Jiang He was not worried about this; for Gluttony, enhancing his abilities was not a difficult thing.

The next moment, a phantom image of the imperial city appeared on his person.

Jiang He shaped it into the form of a domain line, then intertwined it with the domain line, eventually penetrating deep into the underground of the Tokyo Fortress. If he could achieve full coverage, he could increase the volume of his personal space again when the mission ended.

[Spatial coverage: 1%]

"Boss, I've found something out."

Wuhe flew over and reported, "Shortly after your battle with the Night Ancestor, Silverblade sent a message to the Magic Department Principal's office. The specific contents are unknown, but the level of secrecy is the same as that of a super magic. He is currently in the Magic Department. When I received the message, you were launching the Eternal Judgment of Time against Edogawa Ward, so you shouldn't have alerted them yet."

“Then let’s go find him,” Jiang He said calmly. He and Yin Ren had some acquaintance, but it was by no means a deep one.

Fifteen minutes later, the vehicle parked outside the convenience store started up. Zhuang Ya and Jiang He sat in the back seat, and the driving was naturally handed over to Kamishiro Mirai, who was in charge of the adjutant duties.

……

Bunkyo District, Magic High School.

After the battle with the Anti-Demon Alliance and the attack of the zombie beast horde, more than two thousand students from the four schools have built defensive walls around the campus and are now gathered together to await Taiko's rescue.

"Gentlemen, I have some bad news."

"The Lord of Ashes has sent a letter stating that the Taiko will not send any support."

Because of the death of the Blue Monarch whom he admired, Amagi Tsubasa looked somewhat defeated and said weakly, "The Taiko said that we are magicians, and compared to us, ordinary citizens need more limited assistance. Not only that, the Nine Clans Council requires us to establish human strongholds to gather and appease the citizens, guard the Bunkyo Ward, and guard against the Blood Ancestors in the peripheral areas."

"Who will deal with the True Ancestor? Let me go!"

"We've gathered the citizens together, but there's not enough food for everyone every day."

"Three supply convoys have gone missing, and military-grade zombie beasts have started appearing. It's very dangerous!"

"Where is Principal Tachibana at this hour?!"

In the hall where the opening ceremony was once held, the students were discussing among themselves. At first, most of the mages were very brave in the fight against the anti-magic alliance, but as the situation changed, not only did no one redeem their military merits and rewards, but there was also a shortage of supplies and medical care, and not a single monarch was willing to take responsibility.

Of course, no one knew that the monarch was almost dead.

Amagi Tsubasa looked around. Currently, the students were divided into several camps: the Exploration Academy, led by himself; the Legion Academy, led by Ooyama; the Demon Academy, led by the Dragon Queen and Silver Blade; and the Nine Clans Academy, bound together by families.

Despite the large number of mages, the most pressing issue is the enormous daily food consumption. The Blood Ancestor's clan has its eyes on this place, and numerous nobles are lurking around the magic department, waiting for an opportunity to hunt down mages who lack survival and combat experience.

Chapter 539 Origin Coordinates

early morning.

The vehicle drove through the streets littered with corpses and beasts, finally stopping in front of the Magic High School.

In the driver's seat, Mirai Kamishiro was momentarily stunned when she saw the unfamiliar wall in front of her.

The wall, about thirty meters high, surrounds the entire campus. The wall has a distinct military style, with many holes and lookout points interspersed throughout. There are many earth magicians in the Fortress Legion High School, so with proper planning, it will not be too difficult to build a stronghold in a short time.

"Senior, should we say hello?" Mirai Kamishiro asked, turning around.

Snapped!

Jiang He snapped his fingers.

A spatial fluctuation enveloped the vehicle. When Mirai Kamishiro turned around, she found that the car had arrived at the Operations Building, specifically the conference room on the top floor of the thirty-third floor.

Mirai Kamishiro: "..."

It's so convenient that I feel a bit redundant.

“Senior, since you have spatial powers, we don’t need to drive, right? Even an adjutant has human rights.” Mirai rubbed her shoulders, looking somewhat helpless. If nothing unexpected happened, someone should have mastered multiple powers, which meant that Mirai’s authority might also be more than one.

"Is my energy state less important than your human rights?"

Jiang He opened the car door and got out, hearing the notification tone.

[Hint: Main quest ④ has been released]

[Mission Name: Bridgehead]

[Task objective: Establish the origin coordinates and maintain them until final activation (the location will be publicly revealed during the coordinate establishment process)]

[Mission Brief: Battlefield coordinates can locate target worlds, enabling long-distance spacetime teleportation. The teleported content is usually no higher than the world's energy level. The coordinates are typically activated for ten days, during which they cannot be moved. Essentially, they are equivalent to ownership declarations and descent devices. When multiple battlefield coordinates exist in the same world, conflict is inevitable. (Upon final activation, the executor gains control over the Doomsday Coordinates.)]

[Quest Reward: Immortal-grade item - Archangel Wings]

[Note: Extraordinary beings - Angels, this group of beings in the void are born golden regardless of the world they inhabit. Lower-ranking angels often interact with humans: Principal Angels, Archangels, and Angels. The authority wielded by Principal Angels varies from person to person, but they return to holiness when they ascend.]

[Task Penalty: None]

[Task duration: 10 calendar days]

"A prop, not a skill?"

Jiang He pondered for a moment. In fact, it didn't make much difference to him. He could also absorb the extraordinary factors of the items through gluttony to enhance his skills.

With the blessing of the One God and the evil of this world, his current overall status has reached the Immortal level, making him qualified to elevate the Seraphim system by one level on the basis of Epic. In particular, the Archangel Wings will not be just a pair, but will be available to all team members.

When the main quest is issued.

The flag, as tall as a person, is held in hand. Its surface is covered with simple dots symbolizing the origin of all things. Its design is so simple that it is almost unbelievable. However, any observer can instinctively know the existence that the dots correspond to—the battlefield of origin.

Jiang He was speechless. At least in the field of alchemy, any pattern that is to be drawn must start with a dot. In other words, no matter whose alchemical masterpiece it is, it is possible that the Origin could interfere or modify it from the very beginning.

This symbol is too fundamental, boundless, and domineering; it's utterly inconceivable that it could be established. The only pity is that the shape of the pattern is hardly attractive.

"Then let's choose this place."

Jiang He placed the Origin Coordinates on the table in the middle of the conference room. The place where he, the overlord, was located was the bridgehead. No matter how carefully he chose the location, it would not make any fundamental difference.

[Hint: You have been noticed by the End]

……

Meanwhile, in the post-apocalyptic world, regardless of faction, all players who have arrived in the End World have received a quest prompt.

[Final Warning: Battlefield Quests are now available]

[Mission Objective: Self-Defense]

[Mission Requirement: Destroy the Origin Coordinates]

[Mission Brief: The Golden Age Overlord, Desert Knight, is returning to his throne. 520 allied players have been detected in the post-apocalyptic world. All players must destroy the Origin Coordinates by any means necessary (this coordinate has epic-level fortification)]

[Mission Penalty: Annihilation]

[Task Time Limit: 10 calendar days]

[任务奖励：参与度＞0.1％，获得史诗级技能*1/参与度＞2％，获得史诗级道具和技能*1/参与度＞50％，获得不朽级道具*1]

In an instant, players in every corner of the world went almost crazy. The difficulty and rewards of the Golden Age missions were usually at the Undying level. To obtain higher-level items, players needed to be judged on the battlefield whether they were qualified.

Moreover, based on past experience, once the destruction is successful and the participation rate is greater than 50%, the final winner will theoretically receive two epic skills, one epic item, and one immortal item. This is a chance to rise to the top in one step.

"The Alliance is recruiting!"

"I suggest you stay calm; the overlord is not someone to be trifled with."

"Let's crack an egg and come up with a plan!"

"Failure means death, brothers, let's fight!"

The End World Channel quickly became chaotic and noisy.

Magic Department Hall.

Among the students, a white-haired woman's eyes suddenly changed. She turned her head in disbelief, only to find that the location of the origin coordinates was right next to her, in the Operations Building on campus.

"Commander, what do you say?"

The deputy leader of the Bailong Group quietly walked over. He looked at the tall and beautiful figure in front of him with a flicker in his eyes.

The White Dragon Girl looked up and said solemnly, "There is no other choice. If the Origin Coordinates are completely established, it will be difficult to avoid our annihilation at the end. The action is already imminent. This time, we may need your Shadow Dragon power."

A pair of twins walked by in the distance.

“Ms. Bai, Mr. Shadow, I do not recommend taking the initiative.” Brother Zero said calmly, “The Golden Overlord is very likely the culprit behind the recent fall of monarchs. Even if we can conquer and win with our own strength, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses. It is imperative to rely on the local natives.”

The younger sister, Jiu, nodded gently. Her perfectly fitting black and white nun's habit was dignified and elegant. She unconditionally supported her brother's judgment; this was the bond between siblings.

Bai Longnu pondered, "Several large organizations, such as the Gentlemen's Adventurers' Guild and the Thieves' Adventurers' Guild, are also in the post-apocalyptic world. We'd better wait for them to return from the wilderness; it shouldn't take too long."

Mr. Shadow said, "We can test the waters first."

The elder brother hesitated for a moment without refuting him. He knew that the shadow had designs on the leader, and if he offended him now, the consequences could be very troublesome.

……

The action building, conference room on the 33rd floor.

Realizing that she might be stationed here soon, Zhuang Ya put down her small backpack, took out a whole set of building blocks, and began to build according to the blueprints of the Skytree.

When she encountered a missing type of building block, she simply broke off a table leg, bit it off, and her delicate little face was full of seriousness. Although the school was gone, the homework assigned by the course was still there.

Jiang He didn't mind Aya destroying the house, or rather, he was used to it. Lao Hei was extremely wise and reliable when he was a child, but some deeply ingrained things are still hard to avoid.

[Spatial coverage: 3%]

“Wuhe, the matter of Silver Blade can wait. For the next ten days, stay with Aya. After this period, you can move freely.”

"Gaga, I understand." Wuhe stopped pacing. He didn't really like being confined to a relatively closed place for a long time. He was easily reminded of when he was caught in the flower and bird market. However, as the boss had to guard the Origin Coordinates and take care of Aya, it was his duty.

Jiang He tilted her chair back, raised two fingers and pressed them against the wall behind her. Extremely thin thorns extended out and spread rapidly through the wall, quickly replacing the original main framework. This epic level of self-control was self-evident in its functionality.

Across the table, Mirai Kamishiro held a cup of warm black tea in both hands, her beautiful eyes sparkling. The main quest had progressed to level four, meaning she was about to atone for her sins—a cause for celebration.

"Senior, let me prepare dinner."

"Your rest is more important than anything else. I'll take care of the preparations."

"Ah... this isn't a good idea, senior might still have to fight."
