Chapter 378 Three rewards, a commission, and a usurpation plan!
In the Oath Square, in front of the six-column statue.
The light flashes continuously without end.
Except for the Original Dark Side and the Old Ones who took relatively small actions and only summoned one person, the other four pillars made a big move and kept summoning their own potential Ash Walkers.
Not long after, with a flash of light, Xia Lin reappeared at the feet of the Demon Emperor's statue, ending his communication with the Demon Emperor.
Unlike the full anticipation before leaving, Xia Lin's expression at this moment was more solemn.
He squinted his eyes, as if he was thinking about something, or as if he was confused by something.
Until a faint weight appeared above his head.
"Xia Lin, you seem to have a lot of doubts..."
Victor's voice woke Xia Lin up.
He finished his thoughts and sighed slightly.
"I do have a lot of doubts... I didn't expect that the Demon Emperor would actually make such a commission to me..."
Before Xia Lin could speak again, Victor's cat paws had already covered Xia Lin's mouth.
"Don't say too much, just keep some things in your heart."
This made Xia Lin look back at the Lord of Heaven.
Wuxin had already ended his meeting with the Lord of Heaven and had left.
But at this moment, Xia Lin didn't pay attention to Wuxin. He just looked at the sculpture of the Lord of Heaven, and then turned to look at the sculpture of the Demon Emperor.
Before Xia Lin could express any more emotion, Victor's voice rang out again.
"Let's put the follow-up matters aside for now. Let's focus on the present, kid..."
"Is the Demon Emperor generous this time?"
This sentence brought Xia Lin back to his senses and he chuckled.
"Of course it's generous."
…
Since the Demon Emperor wants to kill Wuxin, then initial investment is necessary.
Even though Xia Lin is not one of the Demon Emperor's own people, and the Demon Emperor does not regard Xia Lin as the main force, what he gives is still powerful!
Of course, this may also be because if anything leaks out from between Liuzhu's fingers, it would be enough to shock Xia Lin.
After chatting for a while in the square and getting to know each other, everyone went back to their homes to prepare for the upcoming Ten Thousand Races Sequence War.
Xia Lin did not follow Donald and Victor, but went all the way back to the hotel. When it was empty, Xia Lin sat on the sofa and began to count his gains.
The Demon Emperor didn’t give much.
At most there are three.
Two items, one skill.
With a flash of light, two objects appeared in Xia Lin's hands.
One is a piece of metal material that looks like scales.
His eyes glowed slightly, and the properties of the metal scales came into Xia Lin's sight.
[Violent Greedy Alloy (Six-column level): Material category. Greedy Lord is the second soul of the Demon Emperor, and is essentially a half-flesh, half-mechanical life form! After being transformed by the Demon Emperor, Greedy Lord's alloy torso already possesses the power of the Six-column level. And this scale is directly taken from Greedy Lord, and is a part of Greedy Lord!
By integrating this into an artifact using a special method and crafting it with a high-level divine casting master, it may be possible to create a six-pillar-level item. 】
This is a six-pillar level material!
The instructions also give instructions for use... Of course, Xia Lin wouldn't use it that way.
Because the reward given by the Demon Emperor is obviously in line with Xia Lin's ability system - this thing is extremely compatible with material mimicry!
As early as during the communication with the Demon Emperor, Xia Lin had tried to fuse this greedy alloy through material mimicry.
The effect shocked Xia Lin!
"How should I describe it? After using this item, I am equivalent to merging with a part of the Greedy Lord... and the Greedy Lord itself has the characteristics of devouring and integrating all things. The judgment authority of this item is still at the six-pillar level."
The specific actual combat effect still needs to be tested in actual combat.
But just a preliminary attempt was enough to make Xia Lin's Black Source Martial God form soar in power and increase its strength several times!
"And this thing means more to me than just that... This is a body tissue of the high twelfth level, which contains the true meaning of the universe, enough to stimulate the eternal foundation to complete the promotion!"
The soul pets of the Demon Emperor must be at the top of level twelve. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are at the pseudo six-pillar level.
Because of their relationship with the Six Pillar Demon Emperors, they even possess a certain Six Pillar level power!
Analysis, witnessing the body organization of a being of this level, it is easy to upgrade the Eternal Foundation Talent from B level to A level.
Of course, this will take a few days, so there is no rush right now.
Xia Lin turned around and looked at the second item given by the Demon Emperor.
It was a ball of dreamy and blurry energy, which was blocked by a crystal ball to prevent the power from leaking out.
Witness the full opening and the item attributes fall into your eyes.
[Dream Soul Furnace (Six Pillars): Consumable. Contains the power of the Demon Emperor's Soul Path and the power of dreams coming true! This item involves the underlying logic of skills! You can make a wish to it and customize the skills you need (including six-pillar skills). This item will definitely give you the synthesis formula of the skill! However, you need to provide the relevant skill components yourself, and the energy of this item is limited. The higher the level of the skill you customize, the greater the energy loss of this item! ]
Two words: invincible!
This item is equivalent to the Demon Emperor providing Xia Lin with several skills.
And the effect can be customized according to Xia Lin’s wishes!
You can choose to use this thing to customize skills to restrain Wuxin.
You can also choose other categories of skills to improve your own skill system.
From the perspective of practical value, Xia Lin felt that the effect of this item was even greater than the two six-pillar skills that he could not choose by himself.
All in all, this is the most satisfying remuneration for Xia Lin.
But after watching the most satisfying thing, I received the most unsatisfactory reward.
Open the personal information panel and look at the general skill column of the Pillar of Eternity profession.
Originally, Xia Lin's secondary occupation panel only had two regular skills: Eternal Inscription and Material Mimicry.
At this moment, the third skill appeared.
[Eternal Solidification (Six Pillars): Active skill, exclusive to the Pillar of Eternity. Because your soul power is not up to standard, this skill can only be used once, and it will disappear forever after use! After activation, it consumes a huge amount of mental power to permanently solidify part of the state of someone or something at the current time node! ]
This is the Demon Emperor’s final reward.
"No, it's not a reward..."
Xia Lin suddenly spoke, thinking of his previous conversation with the Demon Emperor.
He looked at this skill again and said slowly in his heart: "This is a commission."
A matter about a commission after Wuxin's great victory!
…
"In fact, I am not optimistic about Donald, nor about you. On the contrary, I am more optimistic about Wuxin."
These are the exact words that the Demon Emperor just said!
No, we are ready to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first! ?
Facing Xia Lin's confused eyes, the Demon Emperor slowly said, "This involves a question of investment."
"The old thief hid Wuxin's identity very well. Over the past tens of thousands of years, the amount of investment the old thief has put into Wuxin far exceeded my expectations."
"Compared to Donald and you, Wuxin has a longer development time, has received more training, and Lao Zei has invested more! This is not a gap that I can close in a short period of time."
Judging from the strength, the Lord of Heaven is even slightly stronger than the Demon Emperor.
In addition, Wuxin has been cultivated by the Lord of Heaven for too long, and the Lord of Heaven has invested more in Wuxin!
It is precisely because the Demon Emperor is one of the Six Pillars and knows the methods of the Six Pillars that he can better understand the gap between Donald Xia Lin and Wu Xin.
Without waiting for Xia Lin to speak, the Demon Emperor continued, "And Wuxin is involved in another plan of the old thief."
"Its name is: Usurpation Plan."
"There's no need to elaborate on the grievances between me and the old villain, but our hatred will never be resolved, and we are destined not to reconcile! Killing each other is our lifelong wish, but everything we have now cannot satisfy either of us!"
Because our abilities were similar, we were stuck.
"In the past, after Chao Xing ascended to the throne, the old thief resurrected the old master in order to resist the pressure."
One on one becomes two on two.
“And this opened up another idea for the old thief, which is this plan called usurpation.”
Six pillars can be artificially created!
The Old Ones are a ready-made example.
However, there is a fixed number of columns, and six is the limit.
This reminded Xia Lin of bad memories.
"The original dark side..."
This is the most special one among the six pillars, and also the one that looks the weakest, the most incompetent, and the easiest to bully.
What happened to Junyou in the past was part of the usurpation plan - the old thief's eyes have actually been fixed on the other five pillars, including the original dark side!
Xia Lin thought of Fang Xiang’s former occupation: the Lord of Heavenly Soldiers.
On the surface, this profession is aimed at the King of Kings. In the matter of Junyou, the Creator of Heaven showed that the Lord of Heavenly Soldiers was just a disguise and He had no ill will towards the King of Kings.
But you can't look at this matter from just one perspective.
——If the timing is right, it’s not impossible to make the fake into real, right?
Just when Xia Lin figured out this logic, the Demon Emperor suddenly spoke.
"No, the focus is not on the original dark side... The biggest focus is actually on the Old Ones."
"The first target of the usurpation plan is actually always the Old Ones. When the Old Ones are resurrected, the first stage of the usurpation plan is already halfway completed... but not completely completed."
Xia Lin took a moment to react and sorted out the logic.
Anyone with a little bit of connections actually knows that the Creator of Heaven resurrected the old ruler and transformed him into an avatar.
This matter is not a secret in the main universe.
As for another thing, everyone actually knows it tacitly - the control of the Lord of Heaven over the Old Ones is not perfect.
The emergence of the Limit Breaker is an act of self-rescue by the Old Master!
So many people have this question...
You, the Creator of Heaven, just watch the Old Master save himself?
What if they succeed in saving themselves, wouldn't you have lost this powerful fighter?
It is even possible that the two-to-two situation may turn into three-to-one, and the old thief will be in great trouble by then.
And now, the Demon Emperor explained this part of the doubt to Xia Lin in a few words.
"The reason is simple... retaining a certain level of consciousness of the Old Overlord can maximize the Old Overlord's combat effectiveness."
"From the perspective of combat power alone, only in this way can the Old Ones fight against the Super Stars."
Chao Xing is not a weakling either, he cannot compare to the old thief Demon Emperor, the King of All Kings, but he is also extremely talented and completed the ascension with his own strength and wisdom!
This kind of person is definitely not something that a mindless puppet can contend with.
"So there is a logical paradox here in the Old Ones."
"Allowing the Old Master to save himself will lead to endless troubles."
"But intervening in this matter will weaken the combat power of the Old Ones."
"This is also why I said that the Heavenly Creator's usurpation of the Old Ones was only halfway completed - because this is a time bomb that poses a great threat!"
Having said this, the Demon Emperor looked at Xia Lin.
"And being unintentional might be one of the ways the old thief corrects this..."
Xia Lin fell silent.
Soon, he shook his head and changed the subject.
"Donald's profession is a Limit Breaker... and Limit Breakers are one of the ways that the Old Ones used to save themselves..."
The Demon Emperor simply said, "It was me who asked him to change his job to a Limit Breaker."
Xia Lin nodded in understanding and said nothing more.
Where there is a plan of usurpation, there is a plan against usurpation.
The clash of six pillars, the planning that took tens of thousands of years to complete is just normal.
As for Wuxin and Donald, they are the two most powerful heroes in this generation of Jhin. It is not illogical for them to appear at the same time.
Perhaps noticing that Xia Lin was in a bad mood, the Demon Emperor changed the subject again.
"This time, the human race's sequence war was started by the old thief. It was specially started for Wuxin."
"I don't know what the plan is. But right now, you have crushed the old thief's plan with your own strength... But don't be proud, because I know that what the old thief likes and is best at is to take one step and plan three steps ahead."
"I even feel that my reaction is probably within the old thief's expectations... This transformation of the human race sequence battle into the myriad race sequence battle is most likely what the old thief wants to see."
"Because the level of the sequence battle has been upgraded, I have discussed the rewards with Lao Zei, Wang Wei, and Lu Ming. The reward amount this time is very high, but the reward items are a bit weird."
The Demon Emperor did not say what the reward was. He just looked at Xia Lin and spoke slowly.
"And the thing I want to ask of you should be here."
"If you can kill Wuxin, then everything will be easy."
"But if that doesn't work..."
…
It was as if I remembered the words of the King of Kings in the past.
"The confrontation between the Demon Emperor and the Immortal Emperor involves all aspects, and this confrontation continues to lower the moral bottom line of the two."
Strong, cruel, and without bottom line.
This is the most terrifying thing!
My thoughts slowly returned to the present.
Xia Lin sighed softly and put away the complicated feelings in his heart.
The same thing.
On the way to the top, you must face six pillars.
There are always benefits to early contact.
Some things cannot be avoided or escaped, and you have to face them sooner or later.
"Anyway, as long as the benefits are enough, I can be your butcher for once!"
This time Xia Lin didn't resist too much.
Because the Demon Emperor played it fair and square, he explained in detail what Xia Lin might do in the future, the pros and cons, and gave Xia Lin the power to choose - Xia Lin nodded in agreement.
Of course, there is no need to think too much about this matter right now.
"The key is the upcoming Ten Thousand Races Sequence War. The Demon Emperor's commission is probably similar to a loss-cutting plan after failure. If we can deal with Wuxin at this stage, it will be good for you, me, and everyone else."
So, we still have to find a way to kill Wuxin!
As for how to kill Wu Xin, Xia Lin currently has some vague ideas, but there is no guarantee that it will work - it is still a problem of insufficient intelligence.
Xia Lin was not in a hurry either.
Prepare to see what the rules are for the upcoming Ten Thousand Races Sequence War, and then look for opportunities to use the cards in your hand to replace your own skills in a targeted manner.
The shadow of the scale flashed by.
In the permanent skill column, Xia Lin simply sold the engraved ghost and god weapons for a high price of 89 evolution points.
"This skill is useless."
The key to the engraved skills is not how effective they are, but whether they can ensure that Xia Lin is immune to the skill effects.
Taking this as a starting point, the entanglement of cause and effect cannot be changed at all...Xia Lin even had the idea of establishing a new system around this skill.
If for no other reason, it's because this skill is really worth it!
As for the Heavenly Dao Dharmakaya skill, which involves the question of whether some of Xia Lin's skills can be effective on Wuxin, it cannot be changed.
Without this, Xia Lin's skills would not be able to penetrate the authority judgment of the Heavenly Dao Dharma Body!
On the contrary, the armed forces of ghosts and gods are useless.
After engraving, there is no way to stop the temporary benefit of this skill on Wuxin. At most, he can be immune to attacks from weapons such as the Ghost Sword and the Immortal Sword.
But Wu Xin has a six-pillar-level Eternal Dark Sky Sword... this thing is the most difficult one!
Xia Lin couldn't even find a way to perfectly restrain this knife.
"Whether the Violent Alloy can withstand the Eternal Dark Sky Blade, this is a question."
Xia Lin had no idea what the outcome of the confrontation between six-pillar items or skills would be.
When asked about this, Victor simply said that it depends on the emphasis on abilities and items… Six-pillar-level ultimates will have different strengths, but there will be no obvious ups and downs in terms of judgment.
They are all six-pillar level things, and are determined to crush the racial foundation level.
It’s just that depending on the different emphases, the six pillars invest different amounts of props or skills, which leads to differences in power.
Even Victor found it difficult to draw a conclusion about the confrontation between the Greedy Alloy and the Eternal Dark Sky Sword - after all, he didn't know how much power the Creator of Heaven had invested in this sword.
Take out the violent alloy, start observing and touching it, and witness the analysis.
As time passed slowly, Xia Lin could clearly sense that his Eternal Foundation talent began to change.
About five days later, Xia Lin completed the analysis of this piece of violent alloy, and his talent was successfully upgraded!
[Your talent: permanent foundation, level upgrade! ]
The level has been upgraded from B to A, and the number of permanent skill bars has been increased from 3 to 4!
This is of great significance!
Not long after the talent was upgraded, the new Jhin zone prompt sound finally sounded!
[The preliminary round of the Ten Thousand Races Series War has officially begun! ]
When the magnificent voice rang in their ears, everyone in the City of Oath put down what they were doing and listened attentively.
…
There is no audition stage because the audition stage has already ended.
At this moment, all the practitioners of various races in the City of Oath have passed the auditions of each race, and their strength is guaranteed to a certain extent.
The preliminaries have now begun, and the Jhin system has released the preliminary rules.
[The rules for the preliminary round of the Ten Thousand Races Sequence War: Thousand-story Tower! ]
[The Qianchonglou is a six-pillar treasure in the hands of the King of All Kings. It has a huge internal space, with a total of a thousand floors! ]
[All examinees can enter the Qianchong Tower and accept relevant tests. The test lasts for one month.]
[When the time is up, the top 10,000 people who have climbed the most floors will advance! ]
[Note: Any form of harm between Ash Zone Walkers is prohibited in the Thousand-story Building! ]
[Note: You will receive a certain reward for each level you climb up! The higher the level, the greater the reward! ]
【The preliminaries start now! 】
The voice slowly died down, and Xia Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
"This rule is still in the right place..."
The key lies in the prohibition of harming each other.
This assessment is equivalent to the peace mode.
In the peace mode, Xia Lin will have enough time to witness and explore more information about Wuxin.
Thinking of this, Xia Lin stood up and left the room.
As soon as you walk out of the hotel, you can see an ancient high-rise building rising from the ground in the Oath Square in the distance, and the entire Oath City can be seen!
