Chapter 129. The Era of God Hunters Ends...

Quan Zhi's voice was cold and commanding: "Turn it off!"

Nuenro's eyes burned with intensity. Upon hearing Quan Zhi's command, he subconsciously pressed the button on his left hand, turning off the special energy device.

It was the existence of this energy device that forced Quan Zhi within Lin Xiaoxiao's body to reveal himself.

After the energy device was turned off, just as Quan Zhi was about to disperse and return to Lin Xiaoxiao's body, Nu Enlu turned the energy device back on.

Unable to disperse, Quan Zhi's originally indifferent eyes were now tinged with anger, and his tone unusually became somewhat volatile: "Nu Enluo, you're asking for death."

These words seemed to have struck a nerve with Nuenro, whose voice was hoarse as he chuckled, "Hahaha—"

A hoarse laugh echoed in the space, sounding eerie and sinister, like a vengeful ghost seeking revenge.

After laughing enough, Nu Enluo took out a handkerchief from his clothes and gently wiped the cold sweat that had appeared on his forehead: "You really went too far. If it weren't for your secret interference, Lin Xiaoxiao would have been mine long ago."

When the God Hunting Era began, Nu Enluo originally intended to send someone to intercept and kill Lin Xiaoxiao immediately. However, just as he was about to issue the order, he received a message from his subordinates saying that there was news of Quan Zhi.

This led him to make the wrong choice; he didn't send anyone to intercept Lin Xiaoxiao immediately. When he arrived at her destination, he found her bound and radiating divine aura.

The moment Nu Enlu saw that tuft of hair, he knew he had fallen for a diversionary tactic. When he returned, he discovered that Lin Xiaoxiao had already broken through to the quasi-god level.

No matter how many people were sent out, they all ultimately became nutrients for Lin Xiaoxiao to level up.

They could only watch helplessly as she progressed from a quasi-god to a demigod, and then to the peak of demigodhood.

All-wise, he knew perfectly well what Nuenro meant by those words, and he neither denied nor admitted it.

When the God Hunter Era first started, it did use a little trick to lure Nuenro away; otherwise, Lin Xiaoxiao's subsequent leveling path would not have been so smooth.

As Lin Xiaoxiao listened to the conversation between Nu Enluo and Quan Zhi, her brows furrowed, and she began to have doubts about Quan Zhi's identity.

Some people are puzzled as to why Nuenro was so easily lured away.

She had a feeling that once she figured out this problem, many of her previous doubts would be resolved.

Quan Zhi calmly said, "The victor is king, the loser is villain."

Nu Enluo was surprised that Quan Zhi would use such a word, and burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, good, good, good 'the victor is king, the loser is villain,' cough cough."

As he laughed, Nuenro suddenly spat out a mouthful of thick, black blood. His once fair face was instantly covered with wrinkles, and his hair turned white at a visible speed.

In the blink of an eye, he went from a handsome young man in his twenties to an old man with gray hair.

Nuenro gently pressed a metal button on the right armrest of his seat, and the machine behind him began to operate, with streams of energy flowing into his body through the connecting wires attached to his body.

Soon, like a vampire who had drunk his fill of blood, his face returned to its original youthful appearance.

Nu Enlu stared at Quan Zhi with a stubborn and sinister look in his eyes, a ruthless smile appearing on his lips: "Since you're here, then stay."

As long as he can keep Lin Xiaoxiao and extract her energy, without using his own internal energy, he can live for at least another sixty years.

If we capture Quan Zhi, and find out the conditions for advancement, sixty years will be enough for him to advance to the level of a true god.

Nuenro quickly pressed a button with his left hand, which was resting on the left armrest.

The entire space shook violently for several seconds. Then, several square black holes appeared in the ceiling, and five figures fell straight down from those black holes.

They can be male or female, and they have normal human appearances.

But their empty, lifeless eyes, deathly pale skin, and the faint stench of death all told them that they had long since become special living dead.

They slowly raised their hands, clenched them in mid-air, and energy weapons appeared silently.

Lin Xiaoxiao's face was extremely pale. She recognized one of the women, or rather, she had seen her in some memory.

It was the woman from the memories she saw when she made a contract with Omniscience. Since this woman has appeared, the other four, if I'm not mistaken, are also past agents of the Goddess of Fortune.

The moment their weapons were fully formed, they flew close to Lin Xiaoxiao, weapons in hand.

As they attacked, Lin Xiaoxiao quickly raised her lightsaber and first attacked the handsome boy who was rapidly approaching. The lightsaber touched the boy's neck.

It made a 'kan.qiang' sound, as if it had struck a hard stone.

Lin Xiaoxiao's hand went numb from the sudden change, and she quickly dodged the nunchucks as they were swung from the left.

Unexpectedly, just as she turned to the side, more than a dozen energy arrows shot towards her joints, heart, internal organs, and other areas.

The next second, a black energy whip wrapped around Lin Xiaoxiao's waist and pulled her away from the arrows.

After pulling Lin Xiaoxiao over, Xiao Weizhi quickly conjured a black energy shield and placed it in front of her, saying, "Be careful."

Lin Xiaoxiao's chest heaved rapidly as she exhaled a deep breath and nodded, "Mm."

The two and their five corpses clashed again, with all sorts of skills flying wildly through the space, creating craters of all sizes.

One of the energy arrows flew directly to the corner of the room, and just as it was about to hit Mishu's corpse, a transparent barrier appeared above it, silently dissolving the arrow.

Quan Zhi floated in mid-air, his gaze lowered as he looked at the battle below, his emotions quite complex.

It never expected to see its former companion in this place, nor did it ever imagine that she would be transformed into this inhuman and ghostly form by Nuenluo.

Nuenro noticed Quan Zhi's complicated gaze, took out a handkerchief, pressed it to his mouth, coughed a few times to wipe away the black blood he spat out, and chuckled: "Are you looking at Adele? I must say, she is the most endurance-bearing of all the test subjects."

"Others were already crying and begging for mercy by the third step, but she endured it and never uttered a sound of pain until her death."

"It was because of her existence that I was able to complete the experiment of creating an artificial god so smoothly."

Quan Zhi's face turned ashen. His hands, which were placed at his sides, slowly clenched into fists. If the murderous intent in his eyes could kill, Nu Enlu would have been chopped into a pile of minced meat long ago.

Nu Enlu noticed Quan Zhi's anger and a sickly smile appeared on his face: "Yes, yes, that's exactly the look in his eyes, the resentment after being fooled. I like it very much."

Having been tricked by Quan Zhi for so many years, he finally had a chance to recoup his losses, and his angry expression was more captivating than the most exquisite medicine in the world.

Quan Zhi's eyes gleamed slightly as he glanced at Nu Enluo's dilapidated body, whose divine core had long since turned black, and he sneered, "Heh."

'Peng.peng.peng—' Lin Xiaoxiao dodged a ball of energy thrown from the front with a leap, and slashed at the back of one of the enemies with her backhand. Her hand went numb again.

She cursed under her breath, "Damn it, don't these inhuman creatures have any weaknesses?"

In just a few minutes, she attacked their necks, hearts, eyes... and even their groin.

Aside from the tingling sensation in my hand, not a single hair on their bodies was cut off. It was as if I was fighting against a stone man carved from the hardest stone in the world.

They can't be hit by swords, and they're immune to skills thrown at them. What kind of nonsense is this?

Xiao Weizhi crossed his hands in front of him, bent his knees slightly, and squatted down to block the fist of the burly man in front of him.

Before long, Quan Zhi saw the weakness of the five undead and was just about to speak up to warn them.

Interrupted by Nuenro sitting below: "Are you sure you want to warn her? Once Adele's divine core device is destroyed, she will turn to ashes."

Quan Zhi chuckled and instructed Lin Xiaoxiao in a deep voice: "The burly man in front of you has a weakness on the top of his head; there's a broken ancient god core hidden there..."

"Young man Xiao, what's in front of you..."

When the divine core device inside the enemy's body was destroyed and several fragments of the ancient divine core were extracted, they turned into ashes on the ground.

[Congratulations on receiving a wisp of divine insight from Luo Gang, former agent of Lady Luck. Thank you for freeing his imprisoned soul.]

...Four notifications sounded in succession.

Following Quan Zhi's instructions, Lin Xiaoxiao and Xiao Weizhi quickly exploited the weaknesses of the undead. Soon, only Lin Xiaoxiao, Xiao Weizhi, and the undead named Adele remained on the scene.

Quan Zhi took a deep breath and instructed Lin Xiaoxiao and Xiao Weizhi to attack Adele in front of them.

As the lightsaber pierced Adele's heart, her lifeless eyes regained their light for a fleeting moment. She gazed at Quan Zhi, who was floating in mid-air, and silently uttered, "You're still alive. That's good."

Then, it turned into a pile of ashes.

[Congratulations on receiving: A wisp of divine insight from Adele, the former agent of Lady Luck. Thank you for freeing her imprisoned soul.]

Seeing that his last line of defense had been dismantled by Lin Xiaoxiao, Nu Enlu sat in his chair with a very ugly expression.

Without Quan Zhi's guidance, Lin Xiaoxiao would never have had the chance to kill this peak demigod experimental subject from the Age of Gods.

Lin Xiaoxiao also realized that Nu Enluo was now a toothless tiger.

He had no way to leave this huge machine and could only rely on it to survive for the time being.

She first slashed the machine several times, destroying it and rendering it unusable, then struck Nuenro's heart.

Before Nuenro died, a strange smile appeared on his lips, and he silently said, "We will meet again, Miss Lin."

[The agent of the God of Creation, Nu Enluo, was killed by the agent of the Goddess of Fortune, Lin Xiaoxiao. All is won by the victors.]

[The Challenge Upgrade Battle has officially ended. The item users, Nuenro and Atumus, are dead. The current number of Divine Favors remaining is 2132.]

[Lin Xiaoxiao, the agent of Lady Luck, has defeated two users of the item and received the following rewards: SSSS-level Space Seed, one artifact, 534524321323121 experience points, and 50 billion high-level faith power.]

When the friends in Mona City received these two messages, they couldn't help but cheer. This damned God Hunter War was finally over.

Those who survived the divine favored (officials, attendants, servants) breathed a sigh of relief when they received the notification that the [Hunter of Gods] was over.

The dozen or so Shindai who had been hiding finally relaxed when they saw the [Shindai Hunt] end; they had finally passed this hurdle.

Lin Xiaoxiao used the extraction technique to take away the space and faith power from Nu Enluo's body. She crossed her arms and looked up at Quan Zhi, who was floating in mid-air: "Quan Zhi, I hope you can give me a real answer."

Quan Zhi nodded: "Okay, I'll tell you everything you want to know later."

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, snapped her fingers, summoned a cluster of golden flames of faith, threw it at Nu Enluo, and then left the underground chamber with Xiao Weizhi and Quan Zhi.

Shortly after they left, the flame of faith that had been burning inexplicably went out.

Originally sitting in a chair, scorched by the flames of faith, Nuenro, with his naked, deathly pale body without a single wound, slowly stood up.

He lowered his head and twisted his neck, making a cracking sound, his voice unusually hoarse: "Hmm, it's been a long time since I've felt this relaxed."

When he raised his head, his eyes turned completely black, without a trace of white. His face was covered with dense black lines, and even his lips had turned gray, making him look like a zombie, which was extremely eerie.

On the other side, Xiao Weizhi carried Lin Xiaoxiao on his back and ran away from Nu Enluo's residence, continuously dropping flames of faith along the street.

She has to burn this puppet town down.

If the God of Greed manipulates the puppets in this town, that would be troublesome. After all, while Nuenro's character is terrible, his abilities are anything but.

Half an hour later, the entire town was enveloped in golden flames.

Lin Xiaoxiao stood at the entrance of the town with Xiao Weizhi, then turned to Quan Zhi, who was sitting on her shoulders: "Want to find a place to talk?"

Quan Zhi nodded: "Okay."

Xiao Weizhi, with his back to Lin Xiaoxiao, bent down and said, "Let's go. I'll find a safe place for you two to talk."

Half an hour after they left, Nuenro, dressed in a black suit, stepped on golden flames and left through another gate of the town. He hadn't gone far when he was met by a procession carrying a sedan chair.

Nuenro stood casually at the front of the line, one hand in his pocket: "You're late."

Liu Duoxin's slightly hoarse voice came from inside the sedan chair: "You're still alive, so it's not too late. The master invites you in."

Nu Enlu appeared in the sedan chair in a flash, looked at Liu Duoxin sitting inside, and chuckled: "Miss Liu, what a pleasant experience."

In front of Liu Duoxin was a small low table with hot tea brewing on it, several plates of pastries, and a palm-sized vase with a red flower on it, clearly indicating that they were brewing tea around a stove.

Liu Duoxin didn't even look up, continuing to wash the cups with the tongs, completely ignoring Nu Enlu's presence.

On the other side, Xiao Weizhi led Lin Xiaoxiao for over a hundred kilometers and found an abandoned safe haven, a platform 80 meters high.

After taking Lin Xiaoxiao up, they set up an energy shield formed by dark energy.

Xiao Weizhi made an excuse to leave, giving her and Quan Zhi some space to chat: "I'll go defend, you two talk."

Lin Xiaoxiao grabbed his sleeve and pulled out a folding table, two folding chairs, and a small sofa: "Sit down, you don't have to leave, you can listen too."

Quan Zhi sat up straight on the sofa: "What do you want to know?"

Lin Xiaoxiao's expression was very serious: "All of them."

Quan Zhi sighed softly, feeling that there was no point in hiding it anymore at this point: "Then let's start with my identity. My former name was Quan Ye, a failure who once tried to climb to the realm of a true god and become a god of wisdom with the body of a mortal."

Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes widened in shock, her pupils dilating and then contracting uncontrollably due to extreme shock.

The god of wisdom? Wasn't he already fallen?

Xiao Weizhi's reaction was similar. He had never seen a god, and all his knowledge of gods came from that mysterious voice and Lin Xiaoxiao's narration.

Quan Zhi continued in a deep voice, "The origin of this story dates back more than four thousand years, to the time of the cataclysm. As one of the first professionals to obtain a hidden profession, I acquired a mysterious crystal core after experiencing a special battle..."

Through Quan Zhi's words, Lin Xiaoxiao and Xiao Weizhi learned about the events that occurred in the first few years of the catastrophe.

In the first few years, there were no secret realms; the monsters were all teleported directly from one teleportation vortex after another.

Back then, humans had not yet obtained the God Stone for Job Change, and could only use their mortal bodies in conjunction with technological means to kill monsters.

It takes almost 100 people to take down a single low-level monster; it's an exceptionally brutal battle.

It wasn't until a woman with exceptionally high luck won the favor of Lady Luck and opened a treasure chest with her incredible luck that humanity obtained its first job change scroll.

The first professional led the team to bravely fight the enemy, and successfully obtained the first job change stone after half a year, which led to the beginning of everyone becoming a professional.

Over the next seventy years, many professionals achieved the pinnacle of demigod status.

A dozen or so of them were exceptionally lucky and achieved divine status through various opportunities.

This includes Izumi, a support deity who attained wisdom through knowledge.

According to the rules among the gods, the planet that produces a native god must be taken over by the native god, and they must leave.

Unfortunately, the foreign gods were unwilling to let go, because the planet was home to a large human population and was the most suitable place to spread their doctrines.

Therefore, a fierce life-or-death battle ensued between the local gods and the foreign gods.

Despite being besieged by numerous foreign deities, the local gods were not at a disadvantage.

This is all because the native life gave rise to a special god: the god of rules, who decreed the local rules that must be followed in battles on the planet.

After successively killing more than ten foreign gods.

Those foreign gods held the mindset that if they couldn't have it, they didn't want to leave it to them.

The gods then joined forces to try and destroy the core of the planet.

In order to protect their homeland, the God of Wisdom and the God of Rules, along with several local gods, joined forces to kill several foreign gods, including the God of Space, Ulanir.

Unexpectedly, the planet's core was ultimately destroyed.

As the planet was on the verge of destruction, the God of Rules sacrificed himself, transforming into the rules themselves, and forcibly bound a deity (the Goddess of Fortune) to him, using him to replace the planet's core and thus saving the planet.

Unexpectedly, those insidious alien gods banished the Dark God and the God of Greed to this planet, attempting to destroy it through pollution.

Despite numerous attempts to stop the pollution, Quanye was finally brought under control after a period of research.

Using the body and core of the God of Space, a number of secret realms were created, and one-third of the human race were taken into the inner realm to avoid pollution.
