Chapter 467 Final Mission (Part 2)
When the figures and vision stabilized again, Donald and Ying both exhaled.
It represents relaxation, represents fulfillment of wishes, and represents the rewards after long-term persistence.
What comes into view is the pre-war preparation space of the Cinder Zone system.
It's not really a joy.
There is only the urgency to get closer to the answer.
After a quick look, he found that the Ashes system, which had been closed for five years, was no different from before. Ying Fang opened the Chosen System task panel again and found that the task objectives had been updated.
The original words "Searching for traces of the Ash Zone System" have disappeared, leaving only the line "Investigating the current status of the Ash Zone System".
Ying relaxed and smiled, "It seems that person has helped us confirm the authenticity of this place."
The truth or falsehood naturally refers to the truth or falsehood of the Jhin zone system.
And that person is referring to Xia Lin!
Donald and Ying have both reached level twelfth. Theoretically, their level and status are the same as Xia Lin's, and there should be no distinction between them.
However, in the past five years, as their contacts with Xia Lin increased, their strength grew stronger, and they were baptized more and more by the Chosen System, they unknowingly raised Xia Lin's status gradually, and now they even unconsciously called Xia Lin "that person".
Imperceptibly, this group of Level 12 Chosen Ones have elevated Xia Lin to the level of the Six Pillars of the past!
Donald didn't think there was anything wrong with Ying's words.
He nodded slightly, then took out a crystal clear blood bead from his personal space.
The blood beads are made from Donald's blood essence and refined through the Heavenly Chosen System, with a level as high as six pillars.
But the effect is very simple - it only serves to locate people who are connected by blood.
And at this moment, Donald took out this thing in order to locate his parents and ancestors!
Five years ago, Ibira led the Demon Palace to war.
In the Demon Palace forces, almost all the trustworthy level twelves came to the Ashes Zone with the Demon Palace - after all, under the premise that the Six Pillars do not personally control the treasures, if the treasures of the Demon Palace want to exert their power, they must be controlled by level twelve experts.
This also means that those who disappeared that day were not only Wumian and Ibira, but also Donald’s relatives and the Demon Emperor’s friends and relatives.
Donald, having just left the Ashes Zone, was only a level ten professional and did not go on the expedition with the Demon Palace.
Five years is not a long time. Considering Donald's lifespan, five years is just a blink of an eye.
The problem is that he has experienced more in the past five years than in the first half of his life combined...
Thinking of the changes and turmoil in the Demon Palace over the past five years, Donald took a deep breath and suppressed his depressed feelings in his heart.
He closed his eyes again and sensed it, and suddenly his brows furrowed.
"strangeness."
"The direction of the bloodline bead actually completely overlaps with the source of my Limit Breaker's induction..."
Donald is still a limit breaker.
But he was protected by the Demon Palace at first, and Xia Lin later, so he was not affected by the price of power.
This caused Donald himself to almost forget that there is a price to pay for the Limit Breaker's power.
At this moment, just as he returned to the Cinders, Li Dai's induction suddenly came. It was neither strong nor weak, but it caught Donald off guard. Donald could not control his temper and his eyes were bleeding.
"This way."
A muffled voice gushed out of Donald's mouth.
He followed the positioning, punched the void, created a space tunnel, and then dived into it.
Shadow followed closely behind.
…
The light and shadow in the spatial corridor fluctuate, presenting countless virtual cinder zone scenes with different styles.
Even though the Ashen Zone system has been closed to the outside world, some of its functions are still in effect. Watching from the sidelines, Donald and Ying actually have a feeling that "there seem to be more virtual Ashen Zone copies than before."
Donald and Ying have a clear goal without exploring the hidden secrets.
After traveling at high speed for an unknown period of time, Donald suddenly stopped in front of a virtual Cinders dungeon.
The end point of induction is here.
There was no need to even go inside to explore. The scene that came into view was enough to make Donald realize the correctness of his perception.
——Across the world, the first thing Donald saw was the endless wasteland.
And above the wasteland, a giant flesh-colored cocoon with a diameter of nearly 100 meters was slowly wriggling, as if it was pregnant with something.
Around the giant cocoon, five figures sat cross-legged in the shape of a pentagram.
And one of the nodes of the pentagram is the Demon Palace and Ibira!
As if sensing the arrival of Donald and Shadow, the five people at the pentagram nodes instantly looked up and looked at the two of them.
Soon, Ibira's voice was heard.
"It's Xiao Tang, why are you here? Come on, come and chat."
One of Ibira's heads spewed out the power of space, tearing apart the world barrier.
Donald and Ying looked at each other, and in the end, the doubts in their hearts overwhelmed their worries and vigilance about the situation.
The two men walked in one after another and soon came to Ibira's side.
Only after taking a closer look did Donald breathe a sigh of relief.
The situation here is real, and this Ibira is also real.
Even the four elders at the other four corners of the pentagram: Zhang Hai and Zhou Xinglin from the Three Prime Ministers Gang, and Lu Bu and Zhao Yun under the King of Kings, are real!
There was only one person left... no, two people!
The Faceless and the Old Ones!
As if sensing Donald's confusion, Ibira leaned closer and whispered.
"Brother Wumian has other important matters and is currently in another place, and the Old Lord..."
The snake's head arched towards the cocoon.
"That's it."
Donald looked down at his blood bead again.
At this moment, the direction of the blood bead still overlaps with the source of the limit breaker, and both point to the flesh cocoon in the center of the pentagram formation.
After a brief thought, Donald suddenly had a bad feeling.
"My Tang family ancestors, could it be that..."
The subsequent words were too cruel, so Donald did not say them.
Ibira was stunned, and after thinking for a long time, he said decisively: "What are you thinking, brat!? Wumian and I are not the bosses, how can we be so cold-blooded!?"
The Demon Emperor might actually do some cruel things as long as the benefits are great enough.
But Faceless and Ibira are more human.
Ibira sighed, and all eight heads looked at the meat cocoon. After pondering for a moment, he slowly spoke.
"I simply extracted a portion of your Tang family's bloodline and integrated it into the false soul of your ancestor created by Faceless Big Brother, thus creating a stumbling block for the Old Ones."
Donald didn't understand this sentence.
Facing Donald's puzzled gaze, Ibira did not hide anything but spoke frankly.
"Five years ago, we went deep into the Embers, partly for the six matrices of the Embers, and partly to suppress the Old Ones."
"But how can I put it... it's difficult. It's difficult in every aspect."
"With our strength, our progress in comprehending the authority left by the Six Pillars is extremely slow. Although we have gained something, we are still faced with more obstacles."
"After the Old One obtained the Limit Breakthrough Matrix in a certain virtual cinder zone, his strength skyrocketed! After all, the Limit Breakthrough Matrix was once a part of the Old One."
"Our progress can't possibly be as fast as his. This means that even suppressing this beast is becoming increasingly difficult, let alone achieving the Six Pillars before him."
Donald digested it carefully, and combined it with the information Xia Lin had previously hinted to him, he was able to roughly understand the direction of events here in the past five years.
Ibira waited for Donald to digest it before continuing.
"It wasn't until more than three years ago that things finally developed to the point where we had to change."
"So the six of us discussed it and made a choice."
"Faceless Brother, who has made the fastest progress in his comprehension, will continue comprehending the Ash Zone Matrix, thereby achieving the Six Pillars. The remaining five individuals you saw will focus on suppressing the Old One, slowing his breakthrough and strength growth."
Wumian was the strongest person under the Six Pillars in the past.
It has the ability to change into any form and can transform into anyone, even any pillar - so when it transforms into one of the six pillars, it can get closer to the relevant authority, making it easier for it to comprehend the Cinder Zone Matrix.
Although his efficiency is not as good as that of the old master, it is far superior to that of Lu Zhao and the other five.
Hearing this, Donald took a deep breath, then turned to look at Lu Zhao, Zhou Zhang and the other four, and bowed solemnly!
I don’t know whether these six people had a dispute over this matter, nor do I know what kind of interests were exchanged.
But the other party did give in, and Donald had to thank this person from the Demon Emperor's side.
Lu, Zhao, Zhang and the other four just smiled at Donald.
"It's better to be cheap and faceless than to let the old master return to the Six Pillars."
"The primary task His Majesty entrusted to us before his departure was to suppress the Old Ones and the Primordial Dark Consciousness. This task takes priority over our achievement of the Six Pillars."
"The time is not right, the strength is insufficient, rather than gaining nothing, it is better to achieve nothing."
Donald bowed again and heard Ibira's voice again.
"As for how to suppress the Old Ones... we have made a lot of preparations."
The Old Lords and the Creator of Heaven are the old rivals of the Soul-Controlling Demon Emperor.
The Demon Emperor's plans for the two of them could fill an entire library.
And what Ibira chose was the method of soul replacement!
"Brother Wumian imitated the eldest brother and created a fake soul of your ancestor. Your ancestor had a deep connection with the Old Ones. He combined the power of the Tang family bloodline with the connections between Limit Breakers to interfere with the Old Ones' soul and speed of breakthrough."
"Then the five of us will find an opportunity to set up the pentagram formation and increase our bets."
"Then things turned out like what you see now."
This is both a detailed explanation of the current situation and the reason why the Bloodline Bead and the Limit Breaker have overlapping inductions.
"To put it bluntly, they're racing against time. Faceless and the Old Ones are racing against each other. Whoever is faster will become the Six Pillars."
The voice suddenly sounded, but it did not come from anyone present.
Ibira, Lu Zhao, Zhang Zhou and others were all stunned and looked at the figure beside Donald.
Ying was momentarily flustered and waved his hands repeatedly: "That's not what I said."
"It's me."
The voice sounded again from within Ying's body.
Suddenly, a stream of colorful light emerged from Ying's body. The light floated in the air and quickly condensed into Xia Lin's figure in the blink of an eye.
He smiled and said, "That's what I said."
After saying this, he bowed to Ibira and the other four.
"Meet the five seniors."
…
Xia Lin's attitude was quite respectful and full of gratitude.
This comes from the heart.
Without these people blocking and killing the Old Overlord in the Ashes Zone, who knows how much trouble this former Six Pillars could have caused, and Xia Lin naturally wouldn't have had these five years of quiet and peaceful development.
——Compared to the chaos that the old masters could cause, the current Tianji War is really just a small fight.
Instead, Ibira and the other four looked at Xia Lin, their gazes gradually becoming serious.
After a while, Zhou Xinglin, who had the best relationship with Xia Lin, smiled and joked, "Xia Lin, you've made great progress. This time when we met, he stopped calling me 'big brother' and started calling me 'senior'."
Zhou Xinglin's words may seem like a joke, but they contain profound meaning.
Because with the strength of these five pseudo six pillars or those close to pseudo six pillars, they were unable to see through Xia Lin's methods just now, and they couldn't even tell how deep Xia Lin was at the moment, or even whether he was real or fake.
Xia Lin chuckled: "I'm not being polite to you, Brother Zhou..."
Xia Lin simply said this and stopped talking about it. He just walked to the meat cocoon that the old master had turned into.
Look carefully and feel it, then touch it.
The flesh cocoon trembled, and the thing inside seemed to respond.
This made Xia Lin withdraw his hand, and a hint of ambiguous meaning appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Interesting."
"Interesting, what does it mean?"
Lu Bu, a man of quick temper, simply asked, then heard Xia Lin slowly say, "It's interesting to note that the thing inside is very close to the Six Pillars. However, when it emerges from the cocoon, I can't tell whether it will be the Old One or the fake soul you stuffed inside."
Xia Lin's words made everyone look unhappy.
They assisted Wumian in ascending the throne, so naturally they could roughly grasp the time of Wumian's promotion.
At this moment, Wumian is probably still some distance away from the Six Pillars, and now Xia Lin says that the Old Lord is very close to the Six Pillars.
Judging from the time, Wumian was obviously several steps behind.
Xia Lin stopped talking and just glanced at everyone's expressions. He had a rough idea of Wumian's progress in his mind.
Don’t point it out, and don’t say anything else.
He was just multitasking, and his left eye showed Fang Xianggu Hua's perspective.
Within the Ashes system, Faceless and the Old Ones are competing in speed.
In the real universe, the original dark consciousness and Wang Yanlin are also on the road to ascending to the throne.
One spot, four competitors.
The two final tasks issued by Xia Lin seem unrelated, but in fact they affect each other.
However, from beginning to end, Xia Lin did not show any anxious or embarrassed expression. He just watched the evolution and changes of all things quietly like a bystander.
…
With the help of Wang Yanhai's handwritten letter, Fang Xiangguhua was able to see Hungry, who had been detained for several years.
Wang Yanhai had no habit of torturing prisoners, so his hunger condition was quite good - he ate so much that he became fatter and looked more and more like a human being.
However, when Fang Xiangguhua came here, the end of hunger was already inevitable.
There was no need to waste time talking to him. Fang Xiang Guhua started to get started directly with the help of the warden.
The so-called "getting started" is to force a confession... It does not require any harsh punishment. As the Lord of Heavenly Soldiers, Fang Xiang has many ways to search souls.
And Fang Xiang’s abilities are not limited to this.
Right now, there are only two publicly recognized Immortal Lords in the main universe - the one from the Three Phases Gang, and Scarlett, Xia Lin's subordinate.
The profession of Heavenly Soldiers Lord is a fusion of the Lord of Ten Thousand Armies and the immortal cultivator. Scarlett's experience in the immortal way provided Fang Xiang with considerable help.
For this mission, Xia Lin even gave Fang Xiang a new ability in advance - cause and effect entanglement.
While searching the soul to obtain the memory of hunger, Fang Xiang activated the causal entanglement to search for traces of the original dark consciousness.
After several attempts, Fang Xiang realized that it was too difficult to directly locate the original dark consciousness, so he decisively changed his thinking and used hunger as a medium to make use of the derivative ability of cause and effect entanglement: deducing the way of heaven and predicting the future.
The immortal power surged back and forth in the small dungeon.
The screams of hunger continued.
As his hunger grew weaker, Fang Xiang seemed to have a premonition of something...
Suddenly, a huge thought, far stronger than Fang Xiang's, but not reaching the six pillars, came across the void accurately and instantly cut off Fang Xiang's connection with hunger.
This made Fang Xiang spit out a mouthful of blood, and then he gasped heavily.
"Sacrifice!"
He turned to look at Gu Hua, and while panting, he said with certainty: "Use the sacrificial ritual to recast the dark dimension and open up the six pillars!"
