Taking a deep breath, Qin Jinnian glanced at the ruins next to him... The four clones seemed to be more useful than he thought.
He was not aware of the whole process just now. All actions were decided by the four clones themselves, and then they gave him such a big surprise.
Apart from the slight discomfort when facing the clone, everything else is perfect.
In that case, he doesn't need to pay attention to this place anymore.
With a thought, he stood up and flew away.
He couldn't wait to open up new powers, so he couldn't do it near the ruins, but had to choose a relatively safe environment...
After all, the development and upgrade of the shadow authority made him lose consciousness for a period of time each time. Although with his current cultivation level, it would be difficult to kill him even if he lost consciousness...but safety still came first.
And this "safe environment" is naturally the fragment of the previous shadow world.
The body moved, breaking through the air and walking away...
…
…
An hour later, Qin Jinnian had returned to the fragments of the shadow world in the city. After arriving here, he went deep into the center area, took a deep breath, and looked at the panel.
In just one hour, the attribute points and shadow points have been constantly refreshing the screen. Now, the attribute points, which were just over 20 million, have reached over 60 million. The shadow points have even exceeded 20 million!
This made Qin Jinnian a little confused.
The four clones were still alive and well, and nothing happened to them.
Compared with the previous one, the efficiency has been improved by more than a hundred times? It is estimated that the status can be upgraded again! However, the important thing now is to open up new authority. As for the status upgrade, we will talk about it later.
"So, by this calculation, more than 10,000 bats have been killed in the past two hours... I wonder how many bats are there in that cave?"
He had used remote viewing to see the situation in the cave before. There were so many bats inside. Although he didn't know the exact number, he thought... there must be at least hundreds of thousands of them.
After all, the hole is so deep.
If he killed and devoured all these bats... wouldn't the number of shadow points exceed 100 million? This number made Qin Jinnian feel dizzy.
Suddenly, from thousands or tens of thousands of shadow points, to hundreds of millions of shadow points... the increase in numbers alone is enough to make people stunned.
More importantly, for Qin Jinnian himself, these shadow points were simply obtained for free by just sitting at home...
Because he didn't have to put in any effort. He just relied on his clone to solve the problem.
Come to think of it…it’s amazing that the clone is conscious.
Now, his clone can really become his right-hand man.
Especially when they start to formally implement the deal mentioned with Qin Fang... they can truly represent "Dawn" and take charge.
He sighed in his heart, but soon he let out a sigh of relief. He would think about these things in detail later. It was more important to gain authority first.
Thinking of this, he looked at the authority fragment option on the panel.
He took a deep breath and fixed his eyes on the fragment of 'Basic Fire Authority to Control Fire'.
With a thought, words appeared on the panel.
[Do you want to consume one million shadow points to complete the 'Basic Fire Authority - Fire Control' (fragment)? ]
"Complete!"
[Completing the 'Basic Fire Authority - Fire Control' (fragment), Shadow Points -1,000,000...]
['Basic Fire Authority - Fire Control' (fragment) is being completed... Please wait... The current progress is 10%... 20%...]
The panel was refreshing and Qin Jinnian waited patiently.
About ten minutes.
[Congratulations to the host, you have consumed one million shadow points to complete the 'Basic Authority of Fire - Control Fire' (fragment), and obtained the 'Basic Authority of Fire - Control Fire' (complete). ]
[Your status has reached 'Divine Awareness I'. Your current status can awaken 2 sub-authorities. Do you want to consume 'Basic Fire Authority - Fire Control' (complete) to awaken the Basic Fire Authority? ]
Seeing this prompt, Qin Jinnian couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Although his current combat power is already extraordinary, he still can't help but be excited about obtaining new authority... Isn't it a great sense of accomplishment? "Awaken!"
Without any hesitation, Qin Jinnian just thought about it.
The next moment...
Boom!!! There was a roar and explosion in his mind, and the familiar feeling of consciousness being pulled appeared, as if the whole person's consciousness was pulled high into the sky. The next moment, an extremely hot feeling filled his entire mind.
Then, he saw a whole new world...
The scene was completely different from what he saw when his shadow authority was upgraded. What he saw now was a world that belonged exclusively to fire.
The blazing flames coiled, jumped, burned, and rose...
Gold, red, purple, blue, green...the colorful flames cover the entire world.
It was the first time that Qin Jinnian knew that fire had so many colors. Colorful and brilliant like a rainbow.
At the end of this world of fire, Qin Jinnian suddenly saw an extremely huge flaming figure in the endless depths.
It was a body made entirely of fire, and words could not describe its majesty and vastness. It was like the blazing sun, or the stars in the sky. Just one glance at it made one feel submissive and insignificant.
Qin Jinnian's eyes froze for a moment...
The last thing he saw in the shadow world was a statue.
And in this world of fire, what I saw was actually a living being? What was that? Qin Jinnian stared blankly.
And when this gaze fell on this figure, the sleeping being seemed to sense something and frowned slightly in his sleep.
Qin Jinnian couldn't see his face clearly, but he seemed to be able to sense his frown.
At a certain moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a scorching gaze that seemed to melt the soul suddenly pierced Qin Jinnian.
At the same time, an angry and deep voice echoed.
"Thief!"
An extremely terrifying sense of crisis instantly swept through Qin Jinnian's heart. His eyes suddenly widened, and that gaze almost melted his body and spirit in an instant!
Boom!!! With a roar, Qin Jinnian's consciousness went blank.
Meanwhile…
Qin Jinnian's real body in the dark world suddenly exploded and turned into a ball of flames.
Endless flames suddenly swept out from his body and covered the entire shadow world in the blink of an eye.
All the vehicles and excavators that had been left here by the evil churches were melted into molten iron by the terrible flames almost instantly.
The rocks on the ground were melting, and after just a few minutes, they turned into magma. Qin Jinnian's body was gradually being swallowed by the magma...
But he just stood there stupidly, as if the high temperature did not cause him any harm.
Boom boom boom!!! Vehicles and excavators exploded.
Terrible shock waves and debris swept in all directions.
The fragments will directly vaporize while flying in the air.
The temperature is higher than one can imagine.
What's even more terrifying is...
Outside the shadow fragments, the entire world suddenly began to tremble violently, and the void was shaking as if it was about to collapse.
"What's going on?!"
"Void shock?! The blood moon has arrived early?"
The time outside is now daytime.
This time, the commotion far exceeded the last Night Crow incident.
In the sky, in broad daylight, a blood moon suddenly appeared out of nowhere! Then, the space began to vibrate, and tiny cracks appeared.
And this scene did not appear in one place, but on the entire earth.
Everyone was stunned by this scene, and the next moment, there was endless panic.
"Damn it, what's going on? Didn't the blood moon just last over a month? Now the blood moon has begun to appear earlier? And it appeared in the daytime?"
In San Lorenzo, the capital of the Yas Empire, one of the most powerful countries on earth, a blond and blue-eyed old man in a white robe soared into the sky, looked at the blood moon in the sky and the pulling void cracks, his heart was shaken, and he cursed in surprise in the Yas language.
Suddenly, a figure appeared beside him. He had long golden hair like sprinkled gold, and was wearing a suit of golden armor. He had a slender figure, a handsome and cold face. He was also looking up at the sky, his blue eyes were shining with a rich golden light.
"It doesn't look like a blood moon... It looks like someone has disturbed an indescribable existence."
He said calmly with a sullen expression.
"What?! The unspeakable thing?!"
"shirt!"
The old man in white robe next to him almost jumped up.
This is worse than the Blood Moon coming earlier! The indescribable thing is far from the existence that the current Earth can contend with. A single glance from that existence is enough to destroy the Earth! "Don't panic too much, Gaia's will still exists, He is fighting against it... and the other party's gaze doesn't seem to fall directly on the Earth."
The blond young man's golden eyes looked up into the sky. In his field of vision, at the broken cracks in the void, there were lines of different colors, which were frantically trying to fill the cracks in the void, forming a confrontation with the tearing force.
"What alarmed Him? Who was the one looking at him?" The white-robed old man's panic did not ease much, and he asked quickly.
The blond young man looked up into the sky and shook his head: "I don't know about this..."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "I'll go to the entrance of the abyss first."
After saying this, he shook and disappeared.
"I'm going too!"
The old man's figure also became blurry...
And it was not only the Yas Empire that was alarmed.
At the same time, the strongest people from various countries who remained on Earth all appeared.
In Tianzhu, a figure appeared in the sky with his right hand raised high. This was an old man with a miserable face, dishevelled hair and dirty face, and his three robes were tattered. The right hand he raised high was withered, stiff, and black, as if it was a broken limb.
There was a reddish white hair between his eyebrows, a messy gray beard, and deep furrows on his face. His eyes were also shining with golden light. He looked at the void cracks and the blood moon in the sky and murmured in a low voice. Then his figure was in a trance and disappeared on the spot.
In the temple below him, a large number of monks were sitting cross-legged in the main hall and the empty square, chanting the ancient Sanskrit sounds devoutly.
In the White Bear Country, a city-state covered in ice and snow, a burly man looked up at the sky, his golden eyes filled with a coldness deeper than ice and snow, and his figure disappeared.
In the island country, high above the shrine, a beautiful shrine maiden in a red shrine maiden costume also looked up at the sky. After a gust of wind, her figure also disappeared.
Bulu Kingdom, Suva Kingdom...
The strongest people from all countries on Earth stood up and looked into the sky.
Daxia is naturally no exception.
And in a certain chaotic world, a large number of beings shrouded in fog have gathered at this moment.
In the depths of chaos, a figure sits at the core.
In this chaotic place, there was a pitch-black fog everywhere, and in the deepest part of the fog, there stood a figure. The figure was tall and majestic, and he faced the depths of the dark fog, and the sound of metal and stone crisscrossing came from his mouth.
"Once again, someone has disturbed the unspeakable."
He said with a deep sigh, "In just over a month, people have disturbed the indescribable things twice in succession... According to the intelligence of the Daxia Night Watchmen, the Abyss race has had similar ideas recently... Gaia can't hold on for much longer."
"The catastrophe is coming."
There was silence all around.
"What should we do next?"
A strange voice sounded, speaking Daxia language, but the tone was strange. It was obviously a foreigner, but he was asking for advice from the figure behind him.
The voice of metal and stone responded calmly: "Humanity is too young, and too weak compared to the myriad races of the abyss. Killing the abyss god species will allow Gaia to absorb more divine aura and allow Him to persist longer... This is the only way at present."
The sound of metal and stone clashing remained calm.
"But this is not a long-term solution... Is there no permanent solution?"
Someone asked unwillingly.
"have."
The voice of metal and stone answered: "An indescribable thing that was born on earth also appeared."
This answer made everyone's eyes widen.
After a long time, someone murmured: "The strongest person in the human race is only at the early stage of the Primordial Realm, and this is achieved with the help of Gaia. The distance is indescribable... I don't know how far it is. Can humans really do it?"
This whisper made everyone silent.
After a long time...
"Well, it looks like Gaia has withstood that indescribable gaze, and that being hasn't really discovered the Earth... Let's all go back."
The sound of metal and stone clashing echoed.
Everyone was silent.
After a long time, someone leaned forward, turned around, and disappeared...
In the blink of an eye, this figure was the only thing left in this endlessly chaotic world.
"indescribable……"
He murmured, and finally fell silent...
…
…
"ah!"
When Qin Jinnian woke up from his dream, he didn't know how much time had passed.
He was panting, his face was terrified, and when he turned his head suddenly, he was stunned...
Because he saw a sea of fire all over the sky.
And he himself was trapped in a sea of magma.
He was stunned for a while, and then he reacted suddenly, moved his body, and broke through the air.
Only then did he realize that all the clothes on his body had been burned away, and he was now completely naked.
With a thought, the shadow turned into clothes and covered his body.
He stared blankly at the sea of fire below, but finally, he raised his head and looked up into the sky...
"The thief..."
Those were the three words he heard when he lost consciousness.
Just three words, but they contained a lot of information! His face was dull, and after a while, he looked at the panel...
[Congratulations to the host, you have successfully awakened the 'Basic Fire Authority - Fire Control'. Current level: Initial awakening.]
The prompts on the panel are extremely simple.
There is no description of what just happened.
Qin Jinnian's thoughts became extremely complicated for a moment...
For the first time, I became extremely curious about what a 'panel' is!
But this curiosity only lasted for a short while before he put it behind his mind.
It’s not that he doesn’t care, but he knows… being curious is useless.
He was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and finally looked at the data panel.
There are also some changes in the data panel...
