Chapter 22: Creation of All Things: One Failure After Another, and Another Failure After Another...

The elf cub was sulking. He turned his back and curled himself up into a small ball, looking very angry.

After Shen Shuang showed an obvious expression of disgust, Shen's defense was broken as expected.

Leaving him at home alone—how could a young elf be taken care of by those rough guys? Most importantly, she actually had that expression on her face, actually despising the voice he squeezed out despite having to put aside his pride.

As God was thinking, he suddenly stopped.

Wait, my true identity won’t be discovered.

God clenched his fist and then denied it.

It shouldn't be. With such a huge contrast, how could it be possible to guess that it was the tall and majestic dark god?

After the "sword practice" farce ended, the elf, who was almost as tall as the knee, was picked up by Chen Shuang and fell back into the arms of the vines.

Seeing the elf hiding in the corner without saying a word, Shen Shuang went over and asked, "What's wrong?"

She asked, "Are you unhappy? Okay, come and hug me."

The elf didn't move, but its pointed ears suddenly twitched, betraying its owner's mood.

You can tell he cares a lot.

Chen Shuang said regretfully, "If you don't want a hug, then let Shu Teng take you out to sleep."

The elf finally moved.

He turned around and glanced at Chen Shuang secretly, his round black eyes wide open, not knowing what he was thinking.

God gritted his teeth.

He would definitely regret missing this opportunity, so after careful consideration, he decided to temporarily give up his tall and majestic image and concentrate on being a cub.

The elf's chubby three-headed body finally turned around, opened its arms towards Chen Shuang, and its eyes sparkled: "I want a hug."

God finally received the gentle embrace he had been waiting for for so long.

The air around him was filled with a refreshing scent and a sense of security, which made Ipper want to get closer.

He nuzzled the other's soft black hair and received a whisper.

Chen Shuang: "The vines look like they want a hug too."

god:"?"

Suddenly, a huge pulling force came from the body, and before the god could react, the cub's body was entangled by the vines.

The enthusiastic vines surrounded him, looking left and right, and couldn't get enough of it, even lifting the elves up in the air.

"It seems that it likes you very much. Let the vine take care of you recently."

Chen Shuang said to the excited tree vine, "There is a vacant room on the second floor. It's late now. Take the elf to rest."

The vine immediately stood at attention, saluted Chen Shuang, and then hurriedly carried the elf cub up to the second floor.

The elf only felt a gust of wind passing over his face, and the first floor was getting farther and farther away from him.

Wait, let me go, bastard! I don't want to leave here!

The frightened elf stretched out his short hands to Chen Shuang for help, and then saw his priest smiling and waving goodbye to him.

It's not a farewell, it's a cry for help!

The elves who were forcibly taken to the empty room sat in a row with the kind-hearted vines.

God looked up at the ceiling.

I want to go back.

【6:45】

Chen Shuang's biological clock is very stable. After getting up, she first opened the system page and carefully counted the items.

Before going to bed last night, she put all the fifty magic crystals she had saved into the card pool and got one gold, four purple and several blue items.

The historical records are kept in the system data.

Congratulations! You have obtained [Fully Automatic Workshop Construction] x1.

Congratulations! You have obtained [Automatic Workshop Food] x1.

Both are semi-mechanical magical devices that can be operated after providing sufficient magic power and basic operators.

The construction workshop creates basic construction materials, and the food workshop processes food ingredients to produce a large amount of magic bread, but the temple is currently understaffed, and even if the workshop is installed, it will be difficult to operate at maximum efficiency.

Various ways to increase the population flashed through Chen Shuang's mind, she suppressed the thought and continued reading.

Congratulations! You have obtained [Primary External Magic Pool] x1.

[A top-tier alchemical creation from an unknown master wizard, it possesses the miraculous ability to store and transform magic power, and even generate its own magic power. However, due to its bulky size, it was abandoned in the warehouse by the picky master wizard. Aside from its size, it has no flaws.]

Um?

It seems that the rechargeable battery for the automatic workshop is available.

Chen Shuang was very satisfied and divided the magic pool into the columns of temple buildings in her backpack.

Congratulations! You have obtained [Legendary Mage's Notebook] x1.

[Written by a legendary wizard himself, this magic manual is even more obscure and difficult to understand than the forbidden level.

As a hall-level manuscript, it possesses the power to bewitch people. Please pay attention to the consumption of mental energy when reading it, and avoid getting lost in the obscure language of power.

This is an ancient parchment scroll. Perhaps because of its own special nature, it feels light and airy, and it doesn't even feel solid when you hold it in your hand.

Chen Shuang opened the notebook, and suddenly a few lines of words appeared on the originally blank sheepskin.

"Basic flying magic."

There was only one magic spell on the notebook, and she could only understand the name of the magic spell. The spell below was always between vague and clear. Chen Shuang guessed that it was because she had no magic power now.

I thought about learning to fly some time ago, and it seems that this little wish will come true soon.

Chen Shuang put away the notebook and looked at the last one, which was also the third golden item in history.

【Creation of All Things (Incomplete Edition)】

God makes water flow into winding rivers, God makes the soil nourish all things, God makes trees grow lush and green, and God makes life run free.

[How to use: This skill is the original skill of the gods, and its scope is limited to the Dark Temple. After using it, you will have a short-term incomplete version of the power of creation.

The target of use is limited to inanimate objects, and the form is fixed after creation. This skill is not a complete version, and the intelligence of the created creature is random, so please use it with caution.

As the core ability of a god, even an incomplete version is very shocking.

This means that within the temple, Chen Shuang can even make people out of clay and soldiers out of beans.

Her eyes lit up.

This way, we have an idea of ​​the basic staff of the workshop.

"Only one construction card is missing."

The system never blocks her construction cards.

Thinking of the adventure that had not yet succeeded, Chen Shuang tapped the desktop and had a rough idea.

The Lost Land was particularly gloomy today. A rare wind blew across the wasteland, and from time to time one could hear the loud whistling sound of the wind blowing through the canyon. However, no matter how harsh the environment outside was, the temple remained calm, and even became quite lively due to the increase in the number of people.

Chen Shuang did not go out today. During the day, she took out her little stool and sat by the fish pond to fish.

The fry in the pond are fat and strong, growing fast, and are now almost as long as her forearm.

The fun of fishing lies in waiting for surprises. Chen Shuang made a simple new fishing rod by herself, and there was movement as soon as she cast it.

She said helplessly, "Jia Lan, don't hang fish on my hook."

Bubbles emerged from the water, and then the white mermaid poked her head out from the bottom of the water.

Jia Lan swam closer to her slowly, feeling a little embarrassed about being caught: "I'm worried that you won't be able to catch any fish."

"Your line is too thin, the hook is too crude, and your technique isn't quite right." The mermaid seemed to realize that her words were a little hurtful and quickly waved her hand. "No, no, I'm saying that if I help you, we can catch the fish faster."

Chen Shuang: "...Thank you."

Don’t say it next time.

The mermaid was lying on the shore, and smiled when she heard that: "You're welcome!"

Chen Shuang: “…”

However, the fisherman never gives up.

Just as she was about to persuade the enthusiastic fish to leave, Chen Shuang suddenly heard the sound of something falling rapidly.

Suddenly, a shadow came from the direction of the farmland. The mermaid's face changed drastically. After shouting "Be careful", her gorgeous blue tail jumped out of the water and instantly blew away the white object that looked like a human bone.

From behind, the thief Chariton's loud laughter of "Hahahaha" was heard first, followed by his triumphant cry of revenge: "Let's see what you can use to hit me, hehe, come and chase me."

The never-give-up fisherman put down his fishing rod and turned to watch the show behind him.

The thief held an arm bone in his hand and winked at the farmer's skeleton not far away, while Mr. Skeleton looked at him fiercely, and his soul fire gradually faded.

As the thief watched, it removed its lower jaw and stabbed forward like a dart, knocking down the human thief quickly, accurately and fiercely.

It ran to the thief with a "crunch, crunch" sound, and soon Shariton's shameless plea for mercy was heard from behind.

Why did you mess with it?

Chen Shuang shook her head and looked away.

No matter how chaotic the temple is, night always comes as expected.

Chen Shuang, who was eating dinner, finally noticed that the lich had stepped out of the room. She handed him some food and asked, "Would you like a bite?"

The lich looked very uncomfortable, and even took a step back when Shen Shuang spoke. He stood on the stairs, curled his palms, and took a deep breath: "Can we talk?"

Chen Shuang quickly finished the fragrant fish rice, wiped her hands, and nodded: "Okay."

"I have a question," the lich said in a low voice, full of doubt.

He looked at the tall statue of the Ruler of Darkness in the center of the temple hall and muttered, "The god is dead, why should we still worship him?"

Speaking of this, the lich didn't even stutter. His deep doubts made him forget his nervousness, and the only thing in his eyes was the black sculpture of the god.

He looked at Chen Shuang: "Anyway, it's all a waste."

The lich standing alone on the stairs seemed to recall some tragic memories. His pale hands tightly grasped the handrail of the stairs, and he could even faintly make the sound of stones cracking.

That's obsidian.

What kind of existence is the lich that can crush it with bare hands?

Chen Shuang followed the lich's gaze towards the sculpture: "If you have time, you can come to the statue and pray."

The lich released the handle: "It's no use anymore."

The god who dominated darkness has passed away. Even those who were once favored by the god can no longer convey their voice to the god.

They lost, miserably, their battle against the light.

"Can't you feel it? The dark atmosphere here is getting thicker and thicker." Chen Shuang said, "The gods will wake up. It's just a matter of time."

The awakening of the gods is bound to be related to the increase in the camp construction value, and is also related to whether Chen Shuang can build a kingdom of gods and achieve the goal of returning home.

"Why do you say that?"

Chen Shuang smoothed her clothes, raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at the lich quietly: "This is the revived Dark Temple."

"As a priest of the Dark Kingdom, I can tell you with certainty that He will awaken."

Such a familiar feeling.

The lich's old memories suddenly opened up, and he stared blankly at the increasingly familiar buildings around him, which corresponded to the scenes of memories in his mind.

I remember it now, I remember everything!

The bell in his mind exploded, and the revived lich trembled violently, slowly lowering his head to Chen Shuang in front of the dark statue.

"Master Priest," the lich said, "I will offer you my heart box until the dark night awakens."

The system made a "ding dong" sound, and this time the message that popped up was surprisingly long-winded. Chen Shuang seemed to hear 147 "tsk tsk" twice.

[Congratulations, you have gained the loyalty of the lich]

[An honest lich who started a business with his former boss suffered a disastrous defeat. Years later, he received a similar scam offer.]

[It is impossible for people to fall into the same pit, unless they are Maomao]

Congratulations, you have completed the third adventure event.

Chen Shuang quickly scanned the updated personal information. Most of it had not changed, except that the [Shadow Clone] had been upgraded from lv1 to lv30.

Congratulations! You have unlocked the achievement "Adapt once, adapt once, and adapt again"

[Congratulations, you have obtained an upgrade expansion card x1]

Although he was very moved that Maomao joined the group again, the system still generously gave him an expansion card.

Before Chen Shuang finished reading the information about the leaders, a sound suddenly came from upstairs. She looked up and found that the elf was standing on the second-floor stairs holding the handrail.

His dark eyes met the lich downstairs, and both of them paused.

The lich spoke slowly, somewhat puzzled: "You, look familiar."

Chen Shuang: Wow, this is exciting!
