Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang are neighbors, childhood friends, and classmates, but most importantly, they are sworn enemies who have been bickering since they could crawl. They both transmigrated into a...
Chapter 92 Two chapters merged into one "May my friend get what he wants." ...
In the end, Qin Lang let Xia Xifeng go.
There were strangers waiting outside the door, ready to burst in at any moment. Even though they were in the magic car, there was no need for anyone to guard the door and watch.
You still have to save face.
Xia Xifeng stared at Qin Lang vigilantly.
But his waist and legs were sore, and the energy potion he drank was not effective enough to make him unable to stand steadily. After being alert for a while, he took the initiative to lie down behind Qin Lang and let Qin Lang carry him out to fight.
Qin Lang carried Xia Xifeng on his back: "Can you still fight like this?"
Xia Xifeng patted the back of Qin Lang's head: "I'm going! I want to see the God of Self being beaten up by you with my own eyes!"
Qin Lang originally wanted to ask Xia Xifeng how he could beat up the God of Self without Xia Xifeng's knowledge, but when he thought that Xia Xifeng trusted him more than he did, he was too lazy to ask.
Let him figure it out himself.
After the magic car was put away, the door of the stone chamber was still closed and the two gods did not break in.
Qin Lang kicked open the heavy, chained stone door. Xia Xifeng helped Qin Lang adjust his equipment and replenish his medicine and food.
He grumbled to himself and looked very unhappy.
Qin Lang's status bar had cleared its shadow and returned to normal. Xia Xifeng remembered that when he first met Qin Lang, his level had been added to his own, and he had jumped to the maximum level of 200, reaching the starting point of a new player.
Although Qin Lang had changed into the highest level equipment in his backpack while he was sleeping, the equipment was still thirty-nine levels away from its current level!
Seeing that Qin Lang couldn't wear the appropriate equipment to fight, Xia Xifeng felt so itchy in his heart that it made a crackling sound.
Close the level! Quickly build a set of max-level equipment!
Xia Xifeng struggled not to look at the inappropriate equipment Qin Lang was wearing, and threw all the low-level equipment in Qin Lang's backpack into the system's scrap box to sell.
While this equipment could be sold to others, after reaching the maximum level, the system store would reveal even more goodies. Xia Xifeng was even more short of system currency, so real-world currency wasn't as important. Could the teacher lend it to him?
Xia Xifeng, who used to feel embarrassed when writing IOUs, has now been spoiled by Teacher Julong.
"One, two, three... forty-two?" Xia Xifeng began to curse angrily as he counted. "Less than half of the dual swords of each level are left! Damn Self and Death, are they trying to kill you?"
The God of Self and the God of Death: "..."
Xia Xifeng held Qin Lang's shoulder with one hand, trying to raise his upper body a little higher, pointing at the God of Self and the God of Death in front of him and cursing.
"Old Qin and I were kind enough to pass on information to you, and you're just trying to take advantage of me?"
"Death, you were enjoying the show while the Suns were searching for you, weren't you?"
"Old Qin and I are not from this world. Go and have fun with yourselves! I won't do it anymore!"
Qin Lang protected Xia Xifeng, who was about to jump off his back. His head tilted to the side, and his ears were buzzing from Xia Xifeng's loud voice.
Xia Xifeng became more and more angry as he cursed, using swear words and Chinese curses. He not only cursed himself and death from beginning to end, but also cursed the Heavenly Father who raised this group of strange gods.
Encountering an Outer God, the other party was an enemy, so no matter how much trouble they caused him and Qin Lang, it was normal. The friendly party was looking for trouble, and Xia Xifeng was furious!
The God of Self was used to being scolded, but he didn't expect Xia Xifeng to scold even the Father in Heaven. He was stunned for a long time.
The God of Death took a step back and hid in the shadows.
The God of Self glanced at the God of Death and coughed dryly: "The Protector has also gained a lot from the trial..."
"Bullshit!" Xia Xifeng sneered, his hair standing on end. "My old Qin is already fast at leveling up. Without you messing around, he'd be maxed out in half a year at most! You're doing this just to force your own godhood onto Old Qin and force him to watch over those demons in the abyss and prevent them from becoming extinct!"
The God of Self didn't understand what upgrading and maximum level meant, but the second half of Xia Xifeng's words made His smile fade.
The God of Self had an indifferent expression, but only then did he become somewhat divine: "As expected of a prophet, was this also in your prediction?"
"I didn't see you in my prophecy. This is just an inference!" Xia Xifeng glared at the God of Self with the most ferocious eyes. "You've done it so obviously, and you still think others can't see your sinister intentions?!"
When playing the game, story fans discussed for a long time the fact that the Abyss had not fallen.
The destruction of a certain race or a certain plane in the world does not mean the destruction of the world. If the abyss and the abyss demons are completely destroyed, other races will only applaud. The minions of the outer gods on the earth have not been completely expelled, and the gods' favored ones of other gods still have to help the abyss. This is really difficult for players to understand.
What's more, when other NPCs and players are helping the Abyss, the Abyss Demons may be hindered by the outbreak of the Fun Soul, which really makes people want to draw pictures of them all.
Although Xia Xifeng is a good person, who hasn't killed some stupid NPCs while playing games?
Later, through the fragments collected in the Abyss-related tasks, players guessed that the God of Self was probably dead, and before his death, he traded his self-godhood to other gods.
Divine status can enhance the power of gods, but those who hold divine status must protect believers.
At least, we cannot let the believers die out.
The Abyssal Plane is the foundation of the God of Self, considered a semi-godly realm. Although the Abyssal Demons are loathed by all races, they are indeed the most loyal followers of the God of Self, despite their extreme selfishness.
If it were a peaceful era, the new gods with their own divinity could gradually build their own territory and find their own believers, but at the critical moment of fighting against the Outer Gods, they would have no time to do these things.
The plot of "Fantasy of Wonderland" is very fragmented, and players can only guess.
What kind of deal the God of Self made, and with whom, may not be fully revealed until the end of the game, or even in the second part of the game.
Although Xia Xifeng didn't know the whole story, he guessed the purpose of the God of Self because the God of Self captured Qin Lang just to give Qin Lang his own godhood.
Isn't it just that the Abyss Devil is so unpleasant, and he's afraid no one will save his believers, so he's looking for someone to take over?!
The new guardian needs to grow rapidly in order to protect the new prophet. Even if he does not ascend to the throne of god, the power of godhood can enable him to transform rapidly.
Is there anyone more suitable to take over than the new guardian? !
"The god corresponding to me among the Outer Gods has died." The God of Self took off the white glove on his right hand, placed his right hand on his chest, and bowed gracefully to Qin Lang and Xia Xifeng. "The self-godhood that combines the two self-divinities is just a simple source of power. It will not fix the protector in the position of god. As long as the faith is not extinguished, the source of power will not dry up."
The God of Self bowed, then stood up straight, his previous elegant smile returning to his face. "The abyss is the converter between faith and power. As long as the abyss is not destroyed, the guardians will never have to worry about running out of magic power."
Xia Xifeng was suspicious: "Gods don't need faith to become stronger, and faith can't be directly converted into magic power. What you said doesn't conform to the rules of this world at all."
The God of Self smiled: "So I devoured the Outer Gods."
Xia Xifeng became even more suspicious: "The rules are incompatible, won't you suffer from indigestion?"
The God of Self continued to smile: "Yes. Please, Guardian, give me a ride."
Xia Xifeng took a deep breath: "I just wanted Qin Lang to beat you up, but you wanted to commit suicide?"
Why is there another god seeking death? Can you gods cherish life?
The God of Self extended his hand in invitation: "Please. The God of Death has already built a battlefield for us that will not be affected by others. I believe that the Protector's power has just increased, and he must need a hearty battle to digest his power."
Xia Xifeng: "..." He didn't know what to say.
Foreign gods can corrode the divinity of the native gods in the dream world, but the native gods cannot eat the divinity of foreign gods.
Just like zombies can eat healthy flesh and blood, healthy people cannot eat the rotten flesh of zombies.
The God of Self ate the Outer Gods and stripped away his godhood, just to "force" other gods to lend a helping hand and save the Abyss and the Abyss Demons?
This wasn't about saving a particular demon, a specific demon. As long as the Abyss wasn't destroyed and the demons within it didn't become extinct, the conditions were quite relaxed.
For the immortality of the abyss demon, he could endure the pain of the outer god's divinity corroding his body, endure the pain of his soul being tortured when his divinity was stripped away, until he turned to ashes, leaving no way for himself to survive?
If the God of Evolution and the God of Wisdom still had their godhead when they died, perhaps one or two souls would be left behind for reincarnation. However, the God of Self was entangled with the godhead of the outer gods, and after his death he would be completely eliminated by the rules of this world.
Qin Lang put Xia Xifeng down.
Xia Xifeng swayed and stood firm, still in disbelief: "You are the God of Self, the most selfish of gods. How could you sacrifice yourself for your believers?"
The God of Self chuckled and shook his head. "What is self? What is selfishness? It's simply following one's heart. A protector of the Way should understand this best. All protectors of the Way are the most selfish of people."
Qin Lang raised his eyebrows but didn't answer.
Xia Xifeng wanted to retort, but Qin Lang held her lips.
"No need to say more, just kill him." Qin Lang said coldly, "It's not the first time I've killed a god."
Xia Xifeng thought of the God of Evolution and the God of Wisdom in the copy world.
Oh, by the way, there are two more gods waiting in line to die. Although they may not have died as cleanly as the God of Self, even if they can be reincarnated, they will no longer be them, so it is still equivalent to a clean death.
"Please accept my gift." The God of Self took out the equipment he had prepared long ago.
Xia Xifeng checked and found that all the clothes, accessories, and double swords were complete. They were all full-level equipment and had set effects.
A full set of divine equipment.
Xia Xifeng put it on Qin Lang with a slight displeasure, and whispered to Qin Lang: "I'll make you a better one when we get home!"
"Yes." Qin Lang said, "Help me heal."
Xia Xifeng puffed out his chest: "Of course! We will never fight alone!"
Qin Lang followed the God of Self into the space crack opened by the God of Death, and Xia Xifeng hurriedly followed.
The God of Death grabbed Xia Xifeng by the back of his collar and looked at him thoughtfully as he took one step forward and one step back.
Xia Xifeng's hair almost stood on end: "What are you looking at!"
The God of Death said indifferently: "I'll take you there."
This guardian is a bit inconsiderate.
Anyway, Amuruo is more considerate to Sur than this protector is to the little prophet.
But it could also be that Sur is a dragon, more resilient, while the little prophet is just a fragile human.
The God of Death doesn't like to talk, but he has a lot to say in his heart.
He brought Xia Xifeng to the battlefield and watched Xia Xifeng sit cross-legged with bottles and jars spread out on the ground, ready to support Qin Lang at any time.
The God of Self and Qin Lang have already started fighting. Only afterimages remain on the battlefield, and even the space has been torn apart. The God of Death needs to take action to stabilize the space.
The God of Death looked a little lonely.
The god of self is a great conversationalist. Even if you don't speak, He can still hear what's in your heart.
The God of Death thought that He should regard the God of Self as a friend.
Thus, the God of Death is here to witness the death of the God of Self.
May my friend get what he wants.
…
The man and the god were fighting fiercely, but their conversational tone was calm, as if they were not engaging in any strenuous exercise.
The God of Self enthusiastically introduced the power structure of the Abyss and His lovely "children" to Qin Lang, just like an old class teacher who was leaving and handing over the new job.
Qin Lang responded politely with an "hmm", and asked the system to "record" the words of the God of Self and send them all to Xia Xifeng.
Now that Xia Xifeng has returned to him, he has no interest in game tasks other than combat.
The God of Self ignored Qin Lang's emotionless polite response and kept talking to himself.
This is indeed very selfish.
After fighting for a while, Qin Lang took a look at the panel.
During the battle, not only the health and mana are slowly recovering, but also the durability of the weapon is recovering.
This should be the realm of the God of Self or the God of Death, just like the Trial Tower of the God of Wisdom and the God of Evolution.
The flow of time here must also be different from that outside. Perhaps this trial will not end until I fully utilize the power of the Godhead of my own God.
Qin Lang distractedly sent a message to Xia Xifeng: [No need to add buffs. Do your thing.]
Xia Xifeng replied immediately: [Oh. I'm currently brushing up on my skill proficiency. I'll be back in the real world to let my teacher know I'm safe. The Abyss should be able to communicate now.]
Qin Lang's lips curled up.
Without his reminder, Xia Xifeng was also adapting to the new power.
The God of Self jokingly said, "Are you in contact with Xia? You feel safe with him as your backing. It's great to have a partner you can trust."
Qin Lang didn't answer.
When the God of Self wants to speak, he doesn't care whether the other party answers or not.
He continued jokingly, "For helping you break the situation, shouldn't you thank me as the matchmaker?"
Qin Lang's brows furrowed slightly, and he finally spoke something beyond a single syllable to the God of Self: "It's the same without you interfering. If you meddle, it will only cause trouble."
The God of Self laughed and said, "Haven't you been suppressing yourself all this time? I will help you liberate yourself."
Qin Lang: "Self is to follow your heart. No one can judge another's self, not even the God of Self."
The God of Self was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "You are still angry."
Qin Lang remained silent again, but his attacks became more fierce.
How they get along from now on is their own business. No matter how things develop, Xia Xifeng's safety comes first.
He hoped to control all the instability when he was with Xia Xifeng. Even if he knew that Xia Xifeng would not care even if he hurt her, that was not enough.
"Self" is purely based on one's own thoughts and has nothing to do with the feedback from others.
The God of Self disturbed his mind and brought danger to Xia Xifeng. Even if the God of Self did not seek death, he would kill the God of Self.
Unfortunately, the God of Self sought his own death, and he did not feel any pleasure of revenge when he killed the God of Self.
"No need to introduce your Abyss to me." Qin Lang said, "Since you have given up your godhood, the Abyss is the Abyss of the new God of the Abyss."
The smile on the God of Self's face faded.
A smile appeared on Qin Lang's lips.
For extremely self-centered people, wouldn’t they feel good if their carefully crafted toy box became someone else’s?
Even if you pretend not to care, you still care. That way, his death will make people happy.
The God of Self snorted softly, "With your overly calculating temper, it must be very difficult for you to meet a saint like the Prophet. He showers so much kindness on others, but he is ruthless to you."
Qin Lang's smile remained unchanged. "No, that's not what I'm worried about. He's ruthless to the kind people he shows his kindness to."
God of Self: “?”
…
As Qin Lang's figure disappeared, the sunny smile on Xia Xifeng's face faded away bit by bit.
The God of Death glanced at Xia Xifeng out of the corner of his eye.
Xia Xifeng's expression now was similar to when he hadn't seen Qin Lang, except that he was no longer anxious.
He looked furious.
After observing Qin Lang's panel for a while and finding that this battle guidance came with a slow recovery, Xia Xifeng moved out the workbench and began to hone his life skills.
After reaching the maximum level, they can fight monsters in the dungeon in real life. However, there is no danger in the dungeon, and if you die in real life, you may not be able to survive.
Considering the encroachment of the Outer Gods on every aspect of the land, Xia Xifeng was concerned about Qin Lang wearing locally made equipment when facing the Outer Gods. He had to personally arm Qin Lang to feel at ease.
Levels can be maxed out with one click, but skills cannot be maxed out with one click.
Xia Xifeng thought about the equipment and buffs he needed most now, and carefully allocated the skill points given after the upgrade.
All skill trees were open, he could make all items, and he could play all routines. After fighting alone, Xia Xifeng also had new ideas on how to arm himself, trying to make himself a thick-shelled turtle with thorns and weapons.
He didn't want to have to hide aside while Qin Lang was fighting.
What if they encountered the enemy again and took Qin Lang away during the fight? They had to go together wherever they went.
Xia Xifeng used the system to automatically create items over and over again, countless knowledge pouring into his soul. He paused, glanced at Qin Lang's status, replenished Qin Lang's buffs, and began to craft manually.
After reaching the maximum level, Xia Xifeng also ignited the divine fire. Handcrafting no longer required the workbench provided by the system. Xia Xifeng snapped his fingers, and the flames danced at his fingertips.
The materials piled on the ground floated up. He flicked his fingers, sparks flew onto the materials, and they all melted.
Even the wood, which should normally be ignited, was completely melted.
Xia Xifeng lightly hooked his fingers, and the melted material separated into extremely fine silk threads, which spun and coiled one by one, forming balls of silk thread.
The God of Death withdrew his gaze from the battlefield and looked at Xia Xifeng.
The God of Death never participates in conflict, and his personality remains unchanged. All heroes must pass through death, and heroes without legends of resurrection are not heroes. Therefore, he has seen many highly gifted beings.
No matter how gifted one is, growth takes time. Qin Lang's strength was forcefully instilled by the God of Self. He should have been like a child with a sledgehammer, unable to skillfully wield excessive power. But Qin Lang and the God of Self were already locked in a fierce battle, seemingly lacking only the ability to harness his divine power.
The same goes for Xia Xifeng. He absorbs "knowledge" too quickly.
Perhaps God had instilled "experience" and "knowledge" into the two of them in advance in other ways, but the God of Death was sure that before the two of them appeared, all the souls that passed through the Gate of Death had nothing to do with Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang, so they definitely had no actual combat experience.
If simply instilling "knowledge" and "experience" can create a strong person, then not only gods, but even ordinary legendary creatures can be mass-produced as legendary creatures.
These two are extremely talented in their own right.
Where did Heavenly Father kidnap him from? Would the creator god of that world allow his own promising god-like child to be snatched away by an outsider?
The God of Death, whose heart had remained calm for thousands of years, became curious and stopped paying homage to his dying friend. He watched Xia Xifeng "weaving" with great interest.
No matter what the material is, Xia Xifeng can melt it and draw it into silk thread; no matter what the object is, Xia Xifeng can "weave" it.
Armor can be "woven", weapons can be "woven", accessories can be "woven", medicines can be "woven"... everything can be woven.
Xia Xifeng no longer needed to select tools based on the inherent properties of the materials themselves, nor did he need to follow the physical and chemical properties of the materials. He had already ignited the divine fire, which could melt all concepts.
If he wanted, he could use a big hammer to forge everything, like the god of forge. But all external forms are essentially the same, and it doesn't matter what tool is used to forge them.
There is no fire more powerful than the divine fire, it is just laborious and will leave its mark on the equipment. Therefore, when the gods create equipment that is not their own, they will also use other flames and tools to collect the flames in nature that are second only to the divine fire.
Xia Xifeng shared everything with Qin Lang, and Qin Lang did the same. The items he crafted for Qin Lang with his divine fire were as comfortable to Qin Lang as if they were crafted with his own divine fire.
Artifacts can only be of "perfect quality" if they are forged with divine fire, and even if an artifact is "perfectly" made, it cannot be mass-produced with "perfect quality" using the system like items that are less than "artifacts".
Xia Xifeng finally managed to make a short sword of perfect quality, his brows furrowed.
Now, if I want to give Qin Lang 99 more replacement equipment, the energy and time it takes will be exaggerated. Fortunately, the durability of the artifact is very high, and Qin Lang will hardly wear it out, so he can polish it slowly.
Thinking of this, Xia Xifeng remembered the dozens of pieces of equipment that Qin Lang had worn out during the trial. He couldn't help but glare at the battlefield fiercely and cursed the God of Self.
The God of Death spoke well of his friend: "Although my methods were a bit harsh, the benefits the Protector gained were great, more than enough to offset his disrespect."
Xia Xifeng had no intention of paying any attention to the God of Death's accomplice. Hearing this, he sneered, "Qin Lang would have reached the maximum level quickly even without this unfortunate experience. His leveling speed was already fast enough. This time, he's leveling up too quickly. I was worried that his realm would be unstable."
Upgrade? Max level? The God of Death chewed over the words. He understood the word "upgrade," but what did "max level" mean? Ignite the divine fire?
Once he started talking, Xia Xifeng couldn't help but curse.
"My Qin Lang is always sensitive and soft-hearted, always prone to overthinking. I wonder how long he'll be twisted this time! Isn't psychological damage also damage? We even have to help the God of Self take care of those naughty kids in the abyss. Where's the profit?" Xia Xifeng cursed, hands on his hips, "We've already suffered enough, and you're still talking about offsetting it? You gods are so shameless, why don't you just stick to the wall of the world so that the outside gods can't get in!"
God of Death: “?”
A delicate and tender heart? Who? Even if He didn't understand this little guardian, didn't He understand the Heavenly Father's criteria for selecting guardians?
The God of Death didn't care about being scolded a few times, but he was horrified by the little prophet's evaluation of the little protector.
Is this how the prophets evaluate the protectors? Does Sur also view Amuruo in this way?
The divine fire was so frightened that it burst into sparks!
Xia Xifeng looked at the confused expression of the God of Death and became even angrier.
Forget it, they are natural gods. There is no point in getting angry with them. They don’t understand.
Xia Xifeng stopped chatting with the God of Death and continued to practice life skills.
The God of Death, having recovered from his shock, was trying to think of new topics to talk about. With the God of Self gone, he'd have to learn to initiate conversations on his own. While the other gods weren't looking, it was a good opportunity for him to practice.
Xia Xifeng stopped and a smile appeared on his angry face.
The God of Death knew without hesitation that he was "talking" to the Guardian.
