Time is up.
Standing on the top of the Xingli Palace, looking at the city looming in the clouds below, Fang Zheng also took a deep breath.
Yuqi City.
To be honest, Fang Zheng didn't have any deep feelings for this city. It was just that when Pinball and Lamy proposed that when creating a new world, they needed to open a ready-made hole in this world so that the huge power of the God of Creation could flow into that world, Fang Zheng thought of this place. This city was the place where the hunter almost launched the city-devouring attack, so distortion was definitely inevitable.
"Right here, it's almost time to start."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng glanced at Hecate not far away, while the little witch lowered her head slightly.
This little girl... is so dark.
Looking at Hecate's harmless face, Fang Zheng rolled his eyes helplessly. He didn't know what Hecate had given him to drink before. But when Fang Zheng went to talk to Tilia about his ideal life, he found out that the effect of that thing was a thousand times stronger than Wei Ge. The result was... Tilia was still lying on the bed and hadn't gotten up.
It's no wonder. After four days and three nights, even the people of the Red World might not be able to endure it.
Originally Fang Zheng thought that Hecate didn't like to talk so she didn't conflict with Tilia, but now it seems... Well, it turns out that none of those who can become God's followers are fools. Tilia was badly beaten by Hecate this time.
Fang Zheng knew without asking that Tilia must have jumped in front of Hecate again after that. Well... considering the little girl's personality, it didn't make Fang Zheng feel strange that she went to Hecate to show off after the breakthrough in her relationship with him. After all, one of the reasons Hecate was most dissatisfied with Tilia before was that she was just an ordinary king of the red world, not a follower of God, and had not received his blessing, but was still circling around him. Now that she and he have a new bond, Tilia will naturally be eager to "share" these with Hecate.
The little girl is really courting death.
Do you really think Hecate is easy to bully? His title is "The Top Seat". There are only wrong names, but no wrong nicknames. This is the truth.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng sighed helplessly, then he opened the Dimension Codex and looked at his soul stone.
[Soul Stone: Sacrificial Snake]
【Quality: Fantasy】
[Number of activations: ∞ (limited to: activation by wish, progress 100%)]
[Gained bonus: Great Poem of Destiny, Sacrifice to the Foundation, Secret Method of Creation]
After absorbing the body of the God of Creation, Fang Zheng finally completed the Soul Stone of the God of Creation "Sacrificial Snake". For Fang Zheng, this Soul Stone was indeed completely different from other Soul Stones.
First of all, there are the activation conditions. As the system shows, the God of Creation is a god who needs the wishes of others to exert his power at will. Therefore, the most important condition for activating this soul stone is that others must pray to Fang Zheng. The more people and the higher the quality, the faster the progress. When Fang Zheng's prayer progress reaches 100%, he can activate this soul stone and unleash the power of the God of Creation.
But... just as Fang Zheng thought, this soul stone has a specific use, which can be seen from its three benefits.
[Great Poetry: Penetrate, instigate, and change the principles of the world]
[Creation of the Sacrifice: Absorb the wishes of the petitioners, perform divine summons, and transform them into reality]
[Secret of Creation: It can consume a certain amount of existence power to randomly create a power level B - SSS-level free method (0/1)]
This means that the fantasy-level soul stone that Fang Zheng extracted can only be activated when someone else prays for it, and after activation, Fang Zheng can use these three gains to fulfill the other person's wish. What's even more annoying is that this is another kind of "consumable" soul stone, because its charging does not require a charging stone, but requires other people's wishes as "energy" to fill it.
At this point, Fang Zheng finally understood that the entire main quest was actually a "beginner's tutorial" on how to use the soul stone [Sacrificial Snake]. When he activated the soul stone of the God of Creation and completed the creation of the "Mirror of Nothingness", the novice tutorial was completely over.
"Well, let's get started."
Retracting his thoughts, Fang Zheng looked at the city in front of him and raised his right hand.
"Seal it."
The dark flames spread all around, then isolated the entire space, shrouding the entire city in darkness. This was not Fang Zheng's seal, but the power from the Sacrifice Snake. In the next steps, Fang Zheng could not switch soul stones again. He had to fight as the Sacrifice Snake all the time until the moment of creation was completed.
As the seal was opened, the followers of the Red World also swarmed in.
“It’s a spectacular sight.”
Standing next to Fang Zheng, looking at the surging crowd on the street below, Rami couldn't help but sigh.
"Because today the potato chips are half price, it's time for a big buy."
Compared to Rami, Fang Zheng seemed quite calm. This was normal. Before his rebirth, he would experience similar crowds several times a year. The streets were packed with people like a tide, leaving no room to turn around.
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Lamy smiled slightly, then took a step back and disappeared into the air.
"Then, the next step is the final stage - converting the Xingli Palace into the Zhenzaishe form."
As the old man finished speaking, the ground around Fang Zheng began to crack and break. In the blink of an eye, the beautiful floating island that was originally suspended in the sky completely collapsed, leaving only the high tower as the core. The silver-white pipes and metal quickly fell down, as if the castle in the sky was looking for its own foundation, falling from top to bottom on the ground, forming a high tower full of mechanical sense.
“Ohhhhhh!!!”
Seeing the tower that suddenly appeared, the Red World followers who came from the outside world screamed with emotion. Many of them prostrated themselves on the ground, paying respect to the tower and the pitch-black snake that was perched on top of it. Some Red World followers also tried to rush to the sacrificial snake like crazy fans seeing their idol. Fortunately, Fang Zheng had already made preparations before this, and the masquerade members who were responsible for guarding the surroundings immediately stepped forward and stopped the other party.
It was no wonder that these Red World people were so excited. It was just like when humans learned that "we are about to have an inexhaustible supply of clean energy", which was an irresistible temptation. And now, they came here just to witness the birth of all this with their own eyes.
Next up...
"Let us begin, my miko."
Fang Zheng turned around and looked at the witch who was standing quietly behind him.
"Yes, leader."
Hearing Fang Zheng's order, the girl's expressionless face showed a smile for the first time. She raised her head, raised the staff in her hand, and then slowly flew into the sky. Fang Zheng raised his head and looked at the witch in front of him until she came to the center of the huge black snake hovering in the sky.
Then Hecate closed her eyes and held the staff tightly.
“——!!”
Countless free methods - the Great Poems of Life flew out from her body in the form of light bands, swirling and winding to form a huge blue-green light ball. Layers of free methods kept flying out from the core, circling and growing like a ball of curly yarn.
That is the duty and responsibility of being a priestess of God.
She will call upon the divine power of the God of Creation and sacrifice herself to open the World Egg.
“Is this time creating the entire world?”
Standing on the other side of Fang Zheng, "Qianbian" Xiu Denan silently looked at the ball of light above his head.
"I wonder when we will meet next time?"
"It won't be too late, General."
Hearing Xiu Denan's mumbling, Fang Zheng glanced at her.
"The little girl gave Tilia a good beating. She won't let her run away just like that. Believe me, my hunch is very accurate. Maybe you will meet again soon."
"Since you said so, leader... then I'll wait and see, ok?"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Xiu Denan's expression suddenly changed and he turned his head away. At the same time, Fang Zheng's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a smile.
"It seems that the troublemaker has arrived."
