Beside the low couch, on a golden couch, lay reclining an elderly gnoll dressed in bright yellow robes with a wolf's head embroidered on his chest. This gnoll's cheeks were sunken, and he was as thin as skin and bones. Although his pale fur was neatly groomed, it could not conceal patches of deathly gray skin beneath. If the people of the gnoll empire knew that this was their revered emperor, one wonders what they would think.
"snort!"
Grand Master Aorong snorted coldly, ignoring the Emperor's words, and pointed directly into the void.
An unseen energy surged in the direction the camera was coming from. Behind the energy surge, the grand hall rapidly shrank, followed by the palace complex, the continents, the oceans, the planets, and the nebulae. Traversing the endless starry sky, the terrifying energy surge entered the atmosphere above Jiang Hao's planet, heading straight for his location. The air, heated, distorted, revealing the shape of a wolf's finger.
Centered on the deep well in the cave, within a radius of 50 kilometers, all the fish-men on this planet and the imperial soldiers who had been transported from the empire via teleportation array felt the pressure from the sky. They all looked up at the transparent, twisted wolf finger in the sky. As the finger approached, all the creatures on the earth, unable to withstand the increasingly heavy pressure, began to kneel, sit down, and collapse.
The mountain was the first to succumb to the pressure of the finger, collapsing and filling the deep well with shattered rocks. Then, an even stronger pressure forced the entire mountain into the earth, and it continued to sink deeper as the finger approached. Creatures near the mountain, whether merfolk or gnolls, began to bleed from their seven orifices, their bodies exploding with blood mist, until they collapsed and died. Then came those 1 kilometer away, 5 kilometers away, 10 kilometers away, 20 kilometers away...
From the moment the finger was visible to the moment all living things within a 50-kilometer radius of the mountain died, the entire process took only 1 second.
The energy surge pierced through the earth, through the rocks, through Jiang Hao's ashes, and directly into his soul. The system's countdown "1" sounded, but Jiang Hao could no longer hear it.
The earth formed a depression, as if a heavy iron pot had been pressed into the sand. Groundwater began to seep from the bottom of the depression, mingling with blood, bits of flesh, and the disasters and evils that had once occurred here. It is believed that before long, a large lake will form here, concealing everything that has happened.
"You have been detected as dead. This is the resurrection point for beginner village number 006 in the Shanghai district. Would you like to resurrect?"
After Jiang Hao regained consciousness, he heard the system notification sound.
That voice felt so familiar. The past three seconds had been the longest three seconds Jiang Hao had ever waited for. He watched his upper body slowly turn grayish-white, his arms and head falling to the ground first, then his skin and flesh began to dissipate like ashes... Jiang Hao quickly shook his head. For some reason, although his movements had become much faster, his head was throbbing terribly.
Jiang Hao then realized that his body was semi-transparent, like the heroic spirits in the Shadow of Wailing. Also, his movements were faster. Jiang Hao tried to move forward, reach out, shake his head, and move left and right, and he no longer felt the resistance he had when he was underwater.
"This design is pretty good; at least it makes it easier to run back to your corpse."
Jiang Hao gave a wry smile and immediately chose to revive.
Where are there any corpses left for him to escape to now?
A flash of white light, and Jiang Hao instantly revived on the spot. Only then did he realize that while his attributes were still there, his health was pitifully low, only 635 points. Looking at the weakened status above his head, Jiang Hao instantly understood the reason.
Upon resurrection in the starting village, your attribute values are reduced by 90%, leaving you in a weakened state for one hour.
-6.35
White damage numbers floated above Jiang Hao's head, and only then did Jiang Hao realize that he was slowly losing health!
6.35 seconds per second, with exact fractions!
The starting village is a place where you can't fight; all attacks are ineffective against new players. This is supposed to protect newbies. But what's going on now?
"This is terrifying!" Jiang Hao quickly checked his status and found that in addition to weakness, he also had a negative condition.
Godslayer Curse: The cursed victim loses 1% of their health per second and cannot regenerate health automatically. It seals all of the cursed victim's skills and negates all healing effects from other classes or equipment. Duration of the curse: 15 days.
Holy crap, if I die once every 100 seconds, how many times would I die in 15 days?
Jiang Hao broke down instantly.
He quickly opened his personal panel and found that the first skill in his professional skills, Resurrection, had also turned gray.
This is a bug!
I need to find a GM!
Just as Jiang Hao was about to open the chat window, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.
"Don't bother looking, I'm right behind you."
A slightly familiar voice rang out, and Jiang Hao quickly turned his head to look behind him. A handsome face immediately came into view, wearing a faint smile, like sunshine in a spring breeze. He was a level 1 assassin, but the ID above his head was strange: Tens of Thousands of Sows!
This person's tastes and ambitions are truly...unique!
Jiang Hao couldn't help but burst out laughing, bending over backwards.
The man still had a smiling expression, as if he didn't take his rudeness to heart at all.
Who are you?
Jiang Hao finally finished laughing and then asked.
"Me? I have 2000 career points."
Jiang Hao instantly recognized him and also remembered his reward. He quickly opened his personal panel, found the profession section, and saw his profession points: 2119!
Oh no!
Jiang Hao instantly became excited, feeling that his previous special mission hadn't been in vain. Even the terrifying three seconds of torture suddenly seemed insignificant.
Looking at the "tens of thousands of sows" in front of him, Jiang Hao felt that he was much more handsome than the jackal.
"I was just looking for you. Look at my status, why do I have a Godslayer Curse? This is a bug, please help me fix it quickly."
"How can I handle this? This is the ultimate technique of Grand Mage Oron. Just from the name, you can tell it can even kill a true god. How can I possibly handle it?"
The other person spread their hands, looking helpless.
Jiang Hao was instantly furious. If this couldn't be resolved, wouldn't he be forced to log off for 15 days? How much money would he lose? And if he logged back in after 15 days, even the weakest player would probably be a higher level than him. What would be the point of playing this game then?
"You son of a bitch! You didn't say that before I started the mission!"
Jiang Hao grabbed his collar and questioned him, his face flushed.
"Hey, hey, don't worry, let go first, let go first. Listen to me first. I'll definitely help you solve this problem!"
Jiang Hao didn't let go; he just looked at him. Not continuing to explode was already his bottom line.
The tens of thousands of sows had no choice but to back down and speak.
"To be honest, even a true god would be doomed if struck by this curse, but you... cough cough cough..."
Jiang Hao suddenly tightened his collar, causing the faces of the tens of thousands of sows to turn bright red and begin to cough violently. Jiang Hao loosened his grip slightly, took a few deep breaths, and, no longer daring to beat around the bush, hurriedly asked.
Do you have a soul clone?
"Of course not!"
"Drink the medicine! Drinking the medicine can save your life!"
