Chapter 82, Part 1 "You'd better not be so rude even when you reach the abyss."...
During the more than two years he spent in the City of Hope, Xia Xifeng had been sorting out the game plots he knew and listing them in tables based on time, place, and the gods involved.
If Teacher Suer kept not letting him go out, he wanted to remind Teacher Suer in a roundabout way what he needed to pay attention to.
Teacher Suer finally let him, the little prophet, save the world, so he didn't have to worry about it.
Many game plots take place at about the same time, but are spaced far apart, so it's impossible for them to catch up on all of them.
Moreover, players are not clear about the causes and consequences of some game events, and they don’t know how to make changes.
Xia Xifeng spent a lot of energy to select tasks that could weaken the Outer Gods and were within their capabilities.
Qin Lang could only analyze the tasks with Xia Xifeng after he listed them, because he never memorized the content of the tasks.
The two of them analyzed the situation for a long time and picked out ten game events that they might be able to intervene in.
Then they removed game events related to the Blood Moon, the Sea of Decay, and the Worm God.
Double Sun already knew Blood Moon well. Born Day was leading the Heroic Spirits in pursuit of Blood Moon, with their adorable halfling friend watching closely.
The Sea of Corruption and the Water God were fighting fiercely, and Richo and Singer were no pushovers either.
The Worm God was severely injured by Teacher Amuruo, and the Elf Empire has raised the banner of revenge...
These three Outer Gods no longer need their intervention, and there have been so many butterfly effects in the early stages that these game events may not happen.
After much deliberation, they decided to target the "Rotten Nest" first.
This is not only because the cause and effect of the game events about the Rotten Hive are clearer, but also because the local deity corresponding to the Rotten Hive is the God of Life.
Yes, it was the God of Life who was made to cry by Amuruo.
Although all Outer Gods can give birth to Corrupted Monsters, the Mother of Corruption controls "life". If the Outer Gods want to change the world's environment and life on a large scale, so that Corrupted Monsters can reproduce and form their own cycle, they need the power of the Mother of Corruption.
Xia Xifeng exhaled slowly: "Are you sure? This game's plot is the most dangerous."
Qin Lang said, "As long as you don't have bad intentions, it's not dangerous."
Xia Xifeng said angrily, "No matter how kind I am, I won't be kind to the Abyss Demon. Are you looking for a fight?"
Seeing Xia Xifeng take out the mace and staff, Qin Lang shut up.
He actually knew this, which was why he chose this task, and was just casually mocking Xia Xifeng.
Although Xia Xifeng has blood on his hands, he will definitely not be soft-hearted when choosing a mission that will conflict with local creatures for the first time.
Of course, Qin Lang didn't feel sorry for Xia Xifeng, he just didn't want Xia Xifeng to hold him back.
As a fantasy world, the dream world itself has many "small worlds", such as the gods have their own divine domain, in the shadow world only the undead protected by the god of death can survive for a long time, there is the dragon's capital on the holy mountain, and the underground magma can lead to the endless abyss of the devil.
Demons like the smell of negative emotions in living beings and like to collect souls filled with negative emotions.
Although all the undead in the world are protected by the god of death, and even the most evil people can welcome the peaceful sleep of death, the soul that voluntarily allows itself to be gnawed by the devil is giving up and returning to the arms of the god of death.
The rules of the devil are also the normal rules of the dream world.
Before the appearance of the Outer Gods and the Evil God, most of the tragic events in this world were related to demons.
Demons also have their own gods, which people generally call "evil gods."
The God of Evil is not an "evil god", but a righteous god who controls all negative emotions of all living beings in the world.
Players already know that the God of Evil is actually a pseudonym or a "misunderstanding". He is actually the "God of Selfishness" or the "God of Self".
All conscious beings have a "self" and are "selfish".
Only when there is "selfishness" can there be "individuality".
Demons are a group of extremely selfish creatures.
The so-called evil is also the embodiment of extreme selfishness.
The God of Evil himself isn't evil, or rather, the good and evil of a god can't be judged by the standards of mortal beings. But his followers, the demons, are truly troublemakers, and they'll kill anyone they see without fail.
However, evil does not mean disorder. Demons have also built cities in the abyss and have their own laws.
After all, demons can't handle the negative emotions of demons. Although they value strength, there's no need to make themselves uncomfortable. Only after leaving the abyss will they actively cause destruction.
Other creatures that enter the abyss will not be deliberately hunted by them.
Creatures that dared to enter the Abyss and hadn't been devoured by the monsters outside the Abyss City were either extremely powerful or had strong backing. As long as such creatures could enter the Demon City and pay for a pass, they could become ordinary tourists and receive the same treatment as other demonic civilians.
——This treatment is to adapt to local customs. As long as you do not violate the laws of Demon City and cause damage, strength is respected and money will pave the way.
The Rotten Hive did not directly confront the God of Life, but instead extended its tentacles into the abyss.
Demons are extremely selfish, and many of them have ambitions that don't match their strength, making them easily tempted by the Rotten Hive.
Also because the demons are extremely selfish, although they borrow power from the Mother of Corruption, they do not necessarily help it, resulting in the abyss being eroded very slowly.
But this is also what the Rotten Hive wants.
He had to proceed slowly so as not to attract the attention of the local gods.
Another reason why the Rotten Hive chooses the Abyss as its base is that when the first corrupted monsters appear, the Abyss can be blamed.
As we all know, the tragedy that happened on the ground and the ugly monsters summoned must be the fault of the abyss demon.
It wasn't until the temple of the evil god in the abyss collapsed that the demons realized they were the prey this time.
After the player enters the game, the abyss demon is sometimes an enemy and sometimes a comrade.
The extremely selfish demons naturally don't want to be distorted by the Outer Gods, so they seem determined to fight to the end with the Outer Gods' followers.
But the extremely selfish demons smell the tempting aroma emanating from the souls of other living beings due to the many tragedies of the end of the world. Even if they know rationally that it is best not to engage in infighting at this time, they may still want to take a bite and create more tragedies.
Xia Xifeng recalled all the demonic plots he had experienced in the game.
In short, it's disgusting.
Being even slightly soft-hearted towards demons will put you in danger. Demons are just a bunch of psychopaths.
Xia Xifeng kept nagging Qin Lang, asking him not to show mercy.
Qin Lang rolled his eyes at Xia Xifeng: "I'm going to give you that back."
Xia Xifeng held a stack of holy light spells infused with the power of the sun and sneered, "Any demon who dares to reveal his red name will be saturated with attacks!"
Qin Lang's tone was perfunctory: "Well, I'll do what I say."
The two of them talked about some serious matters, exchanged a few words, and quarreled all the way.
Qin Lang's words were very brief except when he was talking about business, but he said quite a lot along the way.
The nearest entrance to the Abyss lies within the Dwarven Kingdom.
In order to obtain the earth fire for forging, the dwarves hollowed out an entire mountain range to use as a forge.
Magma is the source of fire for the dwarves and the path to the abyss.
In order to lock the abyss, the dwarves stationed heavy troops at the gate of the abyss.
Such abyssal gates exist in other regions. The abyss and the surface are not on the same plane. As long as the abyssal gates are guarded, demons cannot directly reach the surface. The demons that do come to the surface to cause trouble are summoned by someone using a magic circle.
If the gate of the abyss is broken, it means that the abyss and the ground are at war.
Although the abyss is dangerous, many local specialties are quite expensive and there are few restrictions on fighting, so there are always people going to the abyss to seek wealth and training.
As long as they pay a huge customs fee and sign a contract that takes their own life and death into account, they can enter the abyss.
If they are not dead, they can return through the gate of the abyss where they first entered. After being monitored and found to be not possessed by demons, they can return to the surface.
The Gate of the Abyss only restricts the entry and exit of demons.
Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang had no intention of going in through the back door. They concealed their identities and entered the Gate of the Abyss as mercenaries seeking wealth.
There is war on the ground, and the abyss is also ready to move.
No one knows what the evil god is doing. The sun god, water god and life god all said they couldn't contact him.
Many cunning demons took advantage of the war on the surface to try to escape from the Abyss Gate. Many surface governments, including the Dwarf Kingdom, recruited mercenaries to enter the Abyss and investigate its current situation.
Xia Xifeng remembered that near the end of the game, the God of Evil had no plot. Although the demons were also resisting the Outer Gods, they were led by a few demon kings. The God of Evil's life or death was unknown.
"He's probably dead." Xia Xifeng whispered to Qin Lang.
Qin Lang said unhappily, "You'd better not be so rude even when you're in the abyss."
Xia Xifeng said, "The God of Evil has a pretty good temper. He gets scolded every day, but I've never seen him punish me."
Even so, he kept his mouth shut.
There were also rebellions within the Dwarf Kingdom, and the review of mercenaries was much stricter.
Although Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang had all the necessary paperwork, they still had to wait for two days before being allowed to enter the underground.
There were also many mercenaries traveling with them, some of whom belonged to famous mercenary groups. They proudly displayed their group emblems, attracting the envious gazes of many free mercenaries.
Xia Xifeng also took a few more glances, attracting the mercenaries to come and ask if they wanted to temporarily join their team and act together.
Of course Xia Xifeng refused.
Gamers have long understood the tactics of these mercenary groups. They temporarily recruit freelance mercenaries to serve as cannon fodder.
Although Xia Xifeng was not afraid, there was no need to cause trouble.
The mercenaries didn't bother him either.
The free mercenaries who dare to go to the abyss are very experienced and know what the mercenary group is like.
However, there are still benefits to temporarily joining a mercenary group. Unless cannon fodder is absolutely needed, a reputable large mercenary group will not deliberately harm others, so some people will still join after weighing the pros and cons.
Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang mixed in with the free mercenaries and came to the gate of the abyss.
They happened to encounter a group of dwarf soldiers returning from fighting to scare off the demons that attacked the Gate of the Abyss.
A bloody and murderous aura hit them in the face, and some mercenaries showed expressions of fear.
Even though they were battle-hardened, the momentum of the assembled army still frightened them.
They also learned from the wounds on the bodies of this group of dwarf soldiers how dangerous it was behind the Abyss Gate.
Even though wealth and honor are achieved through risk, some mercenaries temporarily retreated.
This saved Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang the time of queuing to enter.
They quickly paid the entrance fee.
When they entered the door, the dwarf guarding the gate of the abyss looked at the two of them a few more times and recorded their appearances with a crystal.
Qin Lang and Xia Xifeng also glanced at the dwarf who was recording their appearance.
The gatekeepers were legendary-class warriors, so it was normal for them to sense their powers that they hadn't deliberately concealed.
Seeing that the two did not stop him from using the crystal to record his appearance, the gatekeeper became less vigilant.
Not long after Qin Lang and Xia Xifeng entered the gate of the abyss, news came from above.
"The two lords of the City of Hope?" A relieved smile crossed the gatekeeper's weary face. "They've both taken action. They should be able to find out some information about the Evil God."
The gatekeeper prayed to the God of Forge, hoping that the God of Forge would take good care of the two city lords.
The God of Forging responded that he was busy making equipment and had no time.
The gatekeeper's mouth twitched slightly.
The world's rules are in turmoil, gods have reappeared, and the connection between those favored by gods and gods has become closer. This is not entirely a good thing.
For example, it is easy to waver in faith after a prayer is answered by God.
The gatekeeper sighed and continued to guard the gate of the abyss.
The two lords of the City of Hope have both been promoted to legends. After they enter the abyss, the restless demons should be quieter, and he can sleep well for a few days.
However, I didn't expect that the relationship between the two mayors of the City of Hope was even closer than the rumors. They always held hands and never let go. Even he, who has a wife and children, felt a little jealous when he saw this.
