Chapter 426: After Restoring Purity, There Was an Unexpected Gain

The fiery dragon breath began from the edge of the lower city and quickly spread in all directions as if it had its own life.

The fire was raging and spreading incredibly fast.

In just a few minutes, the entire Coconut Juice City was completely surrounded by a huge circle of fire, and this circle of fire was gradually burning and shrinking inward.

Amid the screams of ghosts and wolves, the entire outskirts of Coconut Juice City fell into chaos.

The law enforcement team that used to be used for deterrence has completely lost control of the situation. Countless people have fallen down due to trampling and violent snatching alone.

The crowd screamed and cried as they ran through the streets, trying to fight for hope of survival.

The sound of gunfire mixed with explosions was deafening, and the road surface groaned under the scorching flames.

The circle of fire was like a shrinking steamer, squeezing all chances and hopes of survival.

In order to seize the road to the "safe zone", fierce battles broke out on every main road.

Vehicles collided with each other in the hysterics of their drivers, and guns and weapons were fired indiscriminately in the hands of their respective owners.

The bullet entered the head and the high temperature melted the flesh and blood.

The implanted prosthesis that was supposed to strengthen the flesh melted into the most primitive liquid in the flesh and blood, mixing with the burnt flesh and blood, rapidly accelerating the process of death.

Tears of blood flowed from the charred, hollow eye sockets, and his body collapsed like a scarecrow with its skeleton removed.

All of this is just to clear the obstacles in front of me and to gain even a little more time to escape.

Companies are not completely inactive.

Those fire brigade members who could only be hired at a high price in the past drove fire trucks and sprayed fire indiscriminately.

Ultra-low temperature refrigerants and flame retardants are being dumped in tons as if they were free.

But all of this seems like a drop in the bucket in front of the Purgatory Dragon Breath.

It is the natal fire that comes from the body of a true dragon, and it is the spirit of heaven and earth that has been formed by integrating countless rare treasures.

The nature of this world, which is infinitely close to reality, perfectly restores the almost immortal nature of the Purgatory Dragon's Breath.

Moreover, this is not just the former Purgatory Dragon Breath.

The effect of the Sin Fire was also restored.

This is a terrifying flame that can directly ignite the soul with sin as fuel. In the hands of Vajra Yaksha, it is enough to burn the sins of the entire world in an instant.

Although the sinful fire that Lu Wenwu controls now is not as strong as that, its essence is the same.

Anyone with a sinful heart who gets even slightly close to it, even if they are just slightly touched by it, will be completely refined in the raging fire, and all their sins will be completely burned away.

High-rise buildings hundreds of meters high are collapsing and majestic statues are crumbling.

Those electronic advertising screens that once symbolized the glory of advanced technology burst into flames, emitting a disgusting burnt smell as the flames licked them.

Some people thought they had found a loophole in the fire and began driving expensive hovercraft and aircraft to escape high into the sky, trying to get away from this sudden disaster.

However, what greeted them was a fierce gale that was like a meat grinder.

No matter what level of flying vehicle it is, the moment it escapes from the sea of ​​fire and rushes into the sky, it will be blown to pieces by a gust of wind.

The driver and passengers inside exploded in the air into a blood mist mixed with metal debris, which scattered like flowers from heaven, adding a bit of terror to the fire below and a bit of hideousness to the dragon hovering in the sky.

"If there really is a God in the world, please save me! I am willing to give away all my property."

People in despair knelt on the ground and cried.

Facing the raging flames, his heart was completely broken, and he instinctively began to look for that illusory spiritual sustenance.

But is there really a God in this world?

Maybe.

But at least at this moment, no one can save him.

The ferocious red and black flames mercilessly ignited his body.

The charred figure wailed in the flames, and fell to the ground in a few seconds, without any sound.

Wisps of scarlet blood energy floated up from his burnt body, rising into the sky as if attracted by something, and merged with countless other blood energies.

Thick bundles of blood and energy intertwined, forming a long blood-red river between illusion and reality ten thousand meters in the sky!

The blood river surged and flowed, like the Milky Way in mythology, faintly dotted with silver starlight, as if imprisoning the starlight inside.

The magic dragon hovering above the nine heavens opened its mouth and sucked. The surging river of blood that almost covered the entire sky immediately turned into a trickle like a dragon sucking water and was swallowed by the magic dragon.

The dragon's body is expanding and stretching.

The scales are becoming thicker and deeper.

The dragon's horns continued to grow and extend upward, and the top became sharp, almost like spiral patterns.

The ominous aura that made one's soul tremble became stronger and stronger, and the monstrous evil energy was so thick that it seemed to be materialized and swept in all directions, covering the entire Coconut Milk City from directly above.

It was like an upside-down bowl, completely covering the entire city.

"As expected. Without a true soul, as long as the core data is intact, there's no difference between being dead and alive. Resurrection is easy."

Lu Wenwu controlled the Purgatory Dragon Breath to spread continuously inward, killing one creature after another.

Powerful energy and blood spread throughout the city. All nutritious substances were devoured by his power and eventually returned to his body.

At this time, he was no longer afraid of consumption and was increasing his strength to the fullest.

3000

4000

5000

Lu Wenwu's [Physical] attribute, which had been forced to stagnate for various reasons a long time ago, now soared at an extremely fast speed, becoming stronger every minute and every second.

The entire Coconut Juice City has become Lu Wenwu's possession, completely wrapped and refined by the terrifying Purgatory Dragon Flame, and no creature can escape.

Wherever the Purgatory Dragon's breath passes, no grass grows.

No living creature could survive, no human creation could survive.

In less than an hour, the entire lower city area built around the upper city area was swallowed up by him and turned into a white land!

At this moment, the Eternal Parliament has not even been able to discuss an effective military action plan.

He just issued various orders in a daze, ordering his subordinates to mechanically carry out the defense plan that had been formulated.

The Dragon Claw Team and the Life Detection Team, which they had high hopes for, had not yet been able to display much of their strength when Lu Wenwu unreasonably overturned the table and took them away.

They were unable to fight effectively for even a minute.

It was a completely one-sided massacre.

They were slaughtered without any chance of fighting back.

Lu Wenwu didn't even get to see what they looked like before everything was over.

In the face of absolute individual strength, the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides seems so huge.

"Real world. Virtual world. What exactly do the builders behind this world want to do?" Lu Wenwu pondered, looking towards the city center.

The protective force field in the upper city area still shone as brightly as it did when Lu Wenwu came in last time, and it seemed as solid as an indestructible fortress.

The nuclear explosion shook the lower city area, which had been almost razed to the ground, and mushroom clouds rose one after another.

Nuclear energy is the key to success and failure.

The misuse of nuclear reactors makes the entire city seem like it is located in a nuclear arsenal.

The massive amount of radiation is enough to penetrate the cells of any carbon-based organism, causing them to die from extremely high doses of radiation sickness within just a few hours, eventually melting their flesh and blood and causing their genes to collapse.

A pale pink halo surged, and the simulated dream law was taking effect.

In Lu Wenwu's eyes, the whole world was divided into two completely different perspectives.

The former is normal, just like everyone else.

The latter is a binary mathematical language full of "0" and "1".

Thanks to the Cyberstan knowledge package and the mastery of all languages, mathematical language is also a language, and it is the common language of most silicon-based intelligent races.

Lu Wenwu knew a little about it.

In this perspective, the areas that are the focus of attention are structured into the most primitive mathematical models.

As a series of data streams floated by, the truth of the world gradually unfolded before his eyes.

It is an underlying architecture formed by the laws of illusion and mathematical models. The combination of technology and mystery has made this world highly logically self-consistent, infinitely close to the real world.

Under normal circumstances, the death of an organism in the narrow sense can occur in two ways.

One is that the current world has rules for guiding souls after death.

For example, the underworld, the netherworld, the kingdom of God, and so on. Souls under this law will be drawn away by unique rules and leave the world of the living.

The second is that the current world does not have special rules for the souls of living things after death.

In this case, the soul will separate from the deceased body after the death of the organism, gradually dissipate between heaven and earth, and everything will return to the natural cycle.

Of course, there is a third, more extreme case.

That is, the soul is unable to leave the dead body for various reasons after death, or is unable to perform the next actions according to the established rules.

This will form different Schrödinger's creatures between life and death, such as vengeful spirits, resentful ghosts, ghosts, undead creatures, etc.

They are dead in a narrow sense, but they have gained the continuation of life in a broad sense.

What is now presented before Lu Wenwu is similar to the first situation.

But only half.

After the death of the people and creatures killed by the Purgatory Dragon Flame, some of them were indeed pulled by certain rules and went to a special space that ordinary people could not see.

It should be some kind of unique database or data storage space.

But what is surprising is that the things that are being pulled away are not souls themselves, but clusters of data.

It is like a soul and can play the role that a soul should play, but it is not a soul at all.

At least it’s not what Lu Wenwu knows.

If this data group that is separated from life itself is described more accurately, it is more like a projection of the soul, or a reflection of consciousness itself.

Bring your consciousness here, seal your own memories, and manipulate your new body to grow again and start a new life.

Lu Wenwu was no stranger to this technique.

In the immortal cultivation system, some powerful illusion arrays can achieve such a realistic level.

Or there are the classic "A Dream of a Thousand Years", "A Great Dream of Eternity", "Bodhi Enlightenment", "A Hundred Reincarnations", etc. These are special trial methods that are often used to increase life experience, assist in cultivation, and assess the talents of disciples.

It’s just that it’s not as close to being completely real as the simulation in Coconut Juice City.

This also further confirmed some of Lu Wenwu's speculations, and made him feel relieved.

The wills of a large number of living beings are "confined" here in this way of consciousness descending and soul mapping. No matter why the creator of this world did this, one thing is certain.

There is a high probability that the bodies of these lives are still there.

In the worst case, even if the body perishes, the soul will be preserved by some means.

As long as there is a soul, as long as the soul itself has not entered the twilight of thought and ended its life, there is a chance of resurrection.

“That makes things even more interesting.”

High in the sky, Lu Wenwu, transformed into the Infernal Dragon, grinned fiercely, and scarlet clouds and mists rolled around him, as if a tsunami was rising above the sea of ​​clouds.

Countless core data clusters that should have been pulled into special storage spaces by the original rules were forcibly intercepted by him and collected in one place, densely stacked together in the air.

The light released by the data link was almost piled up to form another moon, occupying a place in the blood-red devil cloud.

In just a few breaths, the core data of hundreds of millions of lives were completely collected.

Yes, hundreds of millions.

This is a number that would be impossible under normal circumstances.

As a result, Lu Wenwu discovered something even more interesting, but also something that makes people think more carefully and is extremely terrifying and creepy.

After the death of birds, beasts, cats, dogs, mosquitoes and plants, the "souls" extracted from their bodies also contain the same core data groups as humans!

"Although I haven't recovered to my peak yet, in this world where thunder tribulations and the transformation of life essence cannot be simulated, a strength of 10,000 [Body] attributes should be enough."

With the death of hundreds of millions of lives, Lu Wenwu refined the entire lower city area and almost swallowed up nine-tenths of Coconut Juice City!

With this scale of nutrient replenishment and the transformation and expansion of the dream laws, he should have been able to easily recover his peak strength.

However, it did not.

This made Lu Wenwu realize one thing.

Even if the world is constructed in a realistic way, there are limits to the levels of life that can be simulated.

The laws and life essences that exceed the limit have far exceeded the "carrying capacity" of this world, or the computing power!

Perhaps there is a more down-to-earth reason.

The master who built this world may not even know the true magic of this level.

Intelligent creatures cannot imagine things they have never seen and can only split and reassemble existing elements.

"We've already come this far, but the real person behind the scenes still hasn't appeared?"

"I wonder if he's confident enough to keep his composure, or if he simply doesn't have the courage or strength to fight me?"

"If that's the case, then I'm inevitably a little disappointed."

Lu Wenwu grinned and looked down at the upper city behind the position shield.

Through the materialized light energy barrier, he could clearly see the panicked expressions of the people in the upper city, as well as the countless soldiers and heavy weapons ready for battle.

"The Master said: 'The general of an army of three divisions may be replaced, but the will of a common man cannot be taken away.'"

"Can these ordinary people shake my will? Ridiculous!"

"If that's the case, then this world without real egg-filled pancakes has no reason to exist!"

Suddenly, a storm swept through and thunder and lightning roared!
