Everything in the outside world is destined to be unable to enter the lightless black fog.
Luo Yun and Xing Di had already reached the bottom of the abyss, enveloped in stifling heat and humidity. The ground was slippery and muddy, and the air was filled with a faint stench.
Fortunately, the slimes that eat everything opened the way in advance. After hundreds of thousands of slimes showed off their frenzy, they also cleared the several-meter-thick rotten mud below to create a clean place to stay.
"The environment here is so harsh. How did you end up here in your previous life?"
The magic power gathered in Luo Yun's hands and a ray of light appeared, and then she began to deliberately reduce the frequency of her breathing.
The air here is too bad. Not only is the oxygen thin, but it is also full of methane and other harmful gases.
In other words, they have strong physiques and abundant spiritual power. If an ordinary person came here, even if he was not swallowed by the swamp, he would probably not survive for more than half an hour.
Facing Luo Yun's question, the Star Emperor's beautiful eyes rolled up slightly, and he replied in a rather complicated tone, "Of course it's to survive! Who else do you think would jump off a cliff for no reason?"
After that, she added proudly, "Of course, this emperor is blessed with great fortune, so I also opened the magic secret treasure and soared into the sky."
Luo Yun: ...
Well, the protagonist’s characteristic cliff jumping must take off!
It seems that the Star Emperor was also a protagonist in his previous life... Thinking of this, Luo Yun was suddenly stunned.
She suddenly thought of something she had overlooked.
If Star Emperor was the protagonist in her previous life...then how did she die?
Doubts arose, and she subconsciously asked, "So how did you... uh... reborn in your previous life?"
When the words came to her lips, she quickly changed her words.
The main thing is that it is a bit impolite to directly ask how someone died.
“Hmm…” Hearing this, the Star Emperor frowned, then pondered for a moment, finally smiled with relief, waved his hand and said: “It’s nothing, it’s just that after being betrayed by certain people, he was torn apart alive by the Starry Sky Myriad Clan.
So, are you trying to avenge me? Or... do you want to eliminate the threat to your Xia Xi in advance?"
After saying that, she inexplicably looked forward to the other party's answer. However... there was no response from the side, which made her a little confused: "Why are you not talking?"
Luo Yun: "I'm waiting for you to give me the list. We can go talk to them when we have the chance."
Xingdi: "I'll give it to you when we get back! You haven't answered my question yet?"
Luo Yun: "Shh~ Don't talk, I'm thinking about something."
Star Emperor: "What's the matter?"
"I wonder why they dismembered you? Was your flesh strong enough to resist destruction, or was there some treasure hidden within you?
It can't be that they have necrophilia, right? After all, in the end, killing by rules should be more efficient and reliable."
…
"You..." Luo Yun asked back in a serious tone, which made Xingdi very angry.
I simply gave directions without saying anything more. Some things are better left unsaid!
An hour later...
The two finally arrived at the so-called treasure cave. There was no gorgeous decoration, just an ordinary, even a little shabby cave.
If there is any difference, it is that the overwhelming black fog is gushing out from this cave.
"It's not quite what I imagined..." Luo Yun commented.
She thought that since it was a magical secret treasure, it should at least have a high-end appearance, but it turned out to be like this?
The holes made by the crabs in Xia Xi's territory are more beautiful than this!
But just as she finished her words, she felt the Star Emperor tug at her arm: "Let's go back! This emperor is feeling a little uneasy. We'll take this opportunity another day."
Xingdi pursed his lips, trying hard to overcome the strange feeling in his heart.
It was a strong sense of crisis, but accompanied by an even stronger urge to explore.
It was as if a voice was telling me: 'Charge into this danger, and you will not only survive, but soar into the sky!'
But her sudden awakening rationality told her: "Calm down, this must be the seed of destiny at work."
The two conflicting thoughts caused beads of sweat to appear on her forehead.
…
The Seed of Destiny, one of the three great artifacts of mankind, is little known to the public, and almost no one has ever seen it.
Its function is to continuously collect the scattered luck of the human race, and then from time to time find a suitable host to give all the luck accumulated by the entire race for hundreds of years to the host.
This is the greatest trump card left by the ancestors of the human race...
If the Awakening Stone and Star Source Shelter are the foundations that guarantee the development of the human race, then the Seed of Destiny is the sharp knife that grants the human race unlimited possibilities.
But these gifts come at a price...
Every time you give something away, it means you will lose something forever. Parents, relatives, friends, lovers, compatriots... the people and things around you... everything you care about will be taken away like a sacrifice to fate.
This is the price!
She only understood all this at the last moment before her death, when she saw the phantom seed floating out of her body.
Maybe it was because she had died once before. After she felt that familiar feeling just now, she suddenly realized some of the patterns.
It seems that every gift is always accompanied by the same feeling as now.
…
However, the more she tried to resist, the stronger the strange emotion became.
Gradually, everything in front of her began to be covered with a layer of light fog, and she could not see clearly or see through it...
The constant buzzing in her ears made it difficult for her to hear anything. Instinct drove her body forward, but she clearly didn't want to!
This reminded her of what someone once said: Fate never cares about your thoughts. Whether you cry or laugh, you can only accept its gifts unconditionally.
…
…
"Go to hell and accept it! Let's go! This crappy opportunity is available to anyone who wants it, but I don't want it!"
She gritted her teeth and the spiritual power in her body suddenly exploded at the surface of her skin. In just an instant, she turned into a bloody person. The severe pain brought back some of her rationality. She pulled Luo Yun's arm and was about to leave.
"Hey, we finally made it here! Why are you just saying no?"
Luo Yun was pulled away, quite puzzled. But after seeing the blood-stained Star Emperor with the faint light in her hand, she quickly took out the teleportation array.
But before they could make any move, the black fog behind them suddenly surged and solidified, and before they could react, they were sucked into the cave.
…
At the same time, a message came to Luo Yun's mind.
【Today's gift pack has been automatically purchased.】
Apparently, midnight has arrived again...
