I am the Lord in the World of Mist

When the 'Heavenly Dog' devoured the sun, the apocalypse descended. Xu Zhi, a young girl with a heart condition, was cruelly abandoned by her parents in a dead city.

Countless mutated...

Chapter 414 433 The Rope of the World

What can the gods drive in the middle of the night?

Aren't there only dead people or creatures sleeping here?

"It's so immoral. Others are dead, but they still crawl out of their graves to serve you!"

Xu Zhi strongly condemns this!

But at the same time, she thought, since the creatures in the midnight can "revive" in the midnight in some way, then can her spiritual body do it?

This thought only briefly appeared in Xu Zhi's mind and was noted down. Now was not the time to delve into this.

Xiao Zhen had just risen into the air and was looking in the direction of the noise. Since he understood the rules, Xu Zhi could observe the surroundings with the help of his clansmen's perspective. At this moment, he could also see from Xiao Zhen's perspective what was making the noise in the distance.

She was not unfamiliar with that scene. She had seen it during the time when she angered Midnight. The ground cracked and countless corpses crawled out of the graves. However, this time, the ones that crawled out were some strange-looking extraordinary creatures, and none of them were human.

This made Xu Zhi a little concerned. After all, so far, almost all the creatures she had seen wandering around in the midnight were extraordinary creatures, and she had never seen any humans.

Those extraordinary creatures also seemed to know where their target was, and they attacked straight towards Xu Zhi's position. There were a lot of them, but compared to what Xu Zhi had experienced before, it seemed like a drop in the bucket.

But it is a pure waste of time to get entangled with these things now. Perhaps the gods already knew that it was not practical to use these to kill Xu Zhi, and they intended to waste her time.

Xu Zhi did not intend to do as the other party wished.

The gods can control these corpses, probably because these corpses had some connection with them when they were alive, or maybe they were deliberately placed in Midnight. But no matter what, these are things that rely on Midnight for their existence. As long as she quickly masters as many rules about Midnight as possible, she can suppress these things.

Unfortunately, she only understood a symbol and could at most open a door to midnight, but was far from being able to use midnight to cut off the connection between these things and the gods.

Fortunately, she still has her clan, who can help her resist the gods' believers at midnight. However, compared with the tireless midnight creatures, the clan obviously does not have such strong endurance, but they do not need to fight all the time. They just need to hold on until Xu Zhi comprehends the midnight rules enough to bury these resurrected guys again.

After Xu Zhi gave orders to her clan, she didn't even look at the midnight creatures rushing towards her, but only looked up at the midnight sky. There were golden spots flickering in her light gray eyes, which was the vision that would appear after activating the [Authority].

At this moment, the dark midnight sky shone like the Milky Way in her eyes, and countless gorgeous and complex rule symbols flashed before her eyes. Xu Zhi carefully and vigorously wrote down every symbol, even if it was just a fleeting one. She was determined to remember every inch of this long river of rules clearly tonight.

The sound of fighting soon reached her ears, but Xu Zhi, who was immersed in recording, turned a deaf ear to it. She had full confidence in her clan and believed that they could stop those guys who tried to hinder her. Even if she took action herself, she could get rid of them faster, but the creatures in the midnight were "unkillable" because they were already dead, returned to the midnight, and became a part of the midnight.

Unless midnight is destroyed or driven away, even if they are dispersed, they will soon crawl out of the grave again.

Therefore, even if her followers are brave enough to build an absolutely impenetrable line of defense for her, there is no guarantee that it can be maintained for a long time. After all, her followers do not have a body that is invulnerable to injury or death. Even the black cat is only immune to physical attacks, but extraordinary creatures have many non-physical means.

Before her clansmen collapse from injuries, she must master enough rules to solve the problem once and for all.

The benefits of mastering the wooden sign rules and the first midnight rule symbol became apparent at this moment. Xu Zhi realized that she was recording the rules much faster, and even though she had memorized ten times more midnight rules than before, her brain was still far from reaching its limit. She had a hunch that as long as she was not hindered, she could really remember all the midnight rules at once.

Time keeps passing, the main body is busy, and the spirit body is not idle either. She has come to the extraordinary library on the top floor of Liancheng, where there are a large number of books that have not been moved. The spirit body has been here for a long time. Her reading speed is very fast, and she has almost finished reading more than half of the books. At this moment, she is concentrating on flipping through a new book in her hand that records extraordinary knowledge. There is no trace of laziness in her.

If an ordinary extraordinary person intends to read a large amount of extraordinary knowledge in a short period of time and understand it thoroughly like this, it will definitely be an extremely difficult task. If he is not careful, it will cause extraordinary cognitive disorder and turn him into a fool. However, such a hidden danger does not exist for Xu Zhi. Compared with the rules, this knowledge is undoubtedly just a side dish.

As more knowledge was transmitted from the spiritual body, Xu Zhi noticed that her speed in recording the rules was also subtly increasing.

She didn't have the time to record how much time had passed. She only knew that she used the "back door" to ensure that she would not leave Midnight even when it was dawn outside. Finally, after an unknown number of hours, Xu Zhi had "read" all the Midnight rules.

The moment the entire midnight rules filled her mind, Xu Zhi felt that at that moment, something had established some kind of connection with her.

This connection seemed to be one-way and only lasted for a moment, like a light mark, indicating that she had obtained a certain qualification. And that qualification seemed to be related to the talent circuit in her body, or the fragment rules, so she could clearly perceive it at this moment.

Xu Zhi's spirits were somewhat lifted, not only because she had finally memorized all the midnight rules, but also because she realized that perhaps she had found a way to find the "door".

But remembering all the rules of midnight is just the beginning. What comes next is even more difficult.

The nature of the rules is quite complex to explain, but to put it simply, they can be understood as "the ropes that weave the world."

Countless lines called rules form ropes, and the ropes weave a colorful and gorgeous world. Because the world is too vast, the number of ropes used to weave it is also immeasurable, so some ropes may be completely unrelated to each other, while some are related to other ropes.

Some extremely thick ropes carry certain things on their own, some thinner ropes are woven together to hold up things in the world, and some ropes of varying thicknesses are cleverly woven together to form the rules that run the world and maintain balance.

And if we understand it in this simpler way, the rules are ropes, and the world is woven from ropes. Then naturally, the more ropes a person masters, the more powerful he will be. And [Glow] is the origin of everything. It was He who created the rule symbols as lines, and these lines were combined together to form ropes. It was He who wove this world with these ropes.

Among His weaving, the rope of midnight was obviously the thicker and cleaner one. It was hardly connected with other ropes, as if it was an independent existence.

But even so, Xu Zhi still saw some special symbols among the regular symbols in the sky. The aura of those symbols was not so "pure", and that was probably where the "rope was tied".

The rules are like a "rope", so naturally they have a beginning and an end. Xu Zhi had never seen the complete midnight rules before, so naturally she didn't know where the beginning was. Now that she had finished reading it, she spent some time sorting out the huge set of rule symbols in her mind according to their movement in the sky, finding out where the beginning and the end were, and then she was ready to start understanding these new rule symbols.

Doing this was not a waste of time. This process also allowed her to review the symbolic shapes of the midnight rule, increasing her understanding and affinity with the rope. It also allowed her to correctly "see" its entire appearance, making it easier for her to understand later.

Although the preparations were not 100% sufficient, it was the best Xu Zhi could do within the time frame. She didn't even leave herself any time to rest and started the next step without stopping.

Even though she already had a rope that she had completely mastered, Xu Zhi still didn't have a particularly good understanding of the rules. However, thanks to the fact that she was now considered one of Midnight's "own people", the Midnight rules had a certain affinity for her that others did not. With the addition of a rule symbol that she had already understood as a "starter", Xu Zhi once again began to comprehend it, and her speed was much faster than before.

After all, she had an understanding of the symbol, and after seeing the overall appearance of the rope, she knew the specific position of the symbol she mastered in the rope and what function it roughly served, so she could more or less see the big picture from the small details, which helped her to calculate and understand.

Time passed quickly, and the sound of fighting in the midnight seemed to never stop. Although he was in the center of the battlefield, Xu Zhi closed his eyes as if in a trance, completely ignoring the dangers around him and immersed in his own world.

She continued to comprehend symbol after symbol. At the beginning, her speed was a little slow, but as she mastered more and more symbols, it was as if she was weaving a complicated rope with a completely unfamiliar thread. From the initial stumbling to the quick eyes and hands after becoming proficient, the rope reappeared and grew in her hands, and one identical "new rope" slowly emerged from her hands.

What followed was the increasingly strong aura of midnight on her body, and the innate circuits in her body were being madly weaved by the influx of a large amount of rule power, which did not even allow her to cheer.

Even though the feeling of power constantly pouring into the body and knowledge constantly bursting out in the brain was really fascinating, Xu Zhi did not completely indulge in it and abandon everything. Instead, when he realized that he had mastered enough power and had some ability to master the midnight rules, he reluctantly braked.

Thanks to Xu Zhi's strong self-control, the moment she left that mysterious state, she felt her body was weak as if she was overdrawn, and her brain was shaking uncontrollably as if it was overloaded. Even if she relaxed a little, her eyes would immediately become dull and her mind would go blank.

She tried too hard and was almost turned into an idiot by the [rules].

Midnight's rope was too complicated and long. If she wanted to finish weaving it in one breath, she would only ruin herself. Even if the flesh and blood of her "hands" were worn away and turned into bones, it would be impossible to finish it in one breath. She couldn't become fat in one bite.

This is why most named people need help from elders when they first comprehend the rules. One is to provide guidance, and the other is to remind them to stop in time.

Xu Zhi is different from ordinary extraordinary people. Her extraordinary affinity is destined for her to obtain more rules in the first time, but that is also limited. The wooden sign rules are not yet her bottom line. As a result, the second level of rules she comprehended reached directly at midnight. This time, she could not directly master the complete rules no matter what. This made Xu Zhi know for the first time where her "bottom line" was.

".It's really dangerous."

Xu Zhi felt a little scared. If she hadn't had a reason to stop, she wasn't sure if she would have noticed in time that something was wrong and stopped to rest. After all, she was completely immersed in the comprehension process just now and didn't realize that her physical and mental strength had been overdrawn.

Fortunately, she has completed a small part of the beginning. The midnight woven with rules has many intersections between the lines, and Xu Zhi has just comprehended one of them, so at this moment, she also has the qualifications to pull this rope.

Thanks to Xu Zhi's diligence and strong talent, the clansmen are not at the end of their strength yet and still have room for improvement. However, Xu Zhi does not plan to rest first. Instead, he supports his body which has not been so weak for a long time, squeezes the little clarity left in his brain and tries to fluctuate some of the rules he has just mastered, using the power of midnight to suppress those things that crawled out of the grave without permission.

Midnight's pressure rises from the sky, from the earth, and from every corner of this dark forest. It is like anger, like a warning, warning those who would interfere with Midnight to withdraw their usurping hands, otherwise, Midnight would not mind cutting them off!

The moment the terrifying aura appeared, those extraordinary creatures that were obviously dead but were madly attacking Xu Zhi for some unknown reason suddenly froze. The pressure of midnight was in conflict with the will that controlled them, but soon the result of the conflict became apparent.

This is midnight, not the home ground of those outside hands, and they will never be the winners.

The noisy sounds suddenly disappeared, and the extraordinary creatures that were originally full of fighting spirit suddenly lost their target. Then, the will of midnight dominated them again. They turned their heads obediently, looking for their own graves, and then sank into them quietly. The feathers flying in the air fell to the ground and turned into mud on the road.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
