"Sister Lu, we haven't heard from her for over a day..."
"The last place she appeared was at the extreme of life and death in the abyss, a forbidden zone. In this forbidden zone, it may be impossible to contact the outside world," Leng Qingying replied.
The interior of the imperial city has been almost completely cleared.
The city was originally littered with corpses, ranging from demigods to pseudo-gods, and even the body of a quasi-god. There were also some demigods and demons with the power of sub-gods gnawing on these divine corpses.
However, no powerful pseudo-gods or deities appeared.
Under the constraints of the illusory world.
Indeed, one cannot encounter a powerful being with pseudo-divine divine power.
The brave and fearless group's mission is to kill these demigods who dwell in the city-states. After all the demigods are killed, a special team will come to purify them and dispose of the corpses.
To ensure these corpses do not come back to life.
Furthermore, the remains of false gods and quasi-gods can have additional value.
After the cleanup was completed, and with the opening of the teleportation portal, the human race gradually migrated towards the city.
-----------------
[The Land of ? ? ?]
"What...what's wrong with me?"
I can't move.
And it's so cold.
Oh, I remember now.
I was killed by Rona.
Am I now re-entering the cycle of reincarnation for the fifth time?
wrong.
Reincarnation shouldn't feel like this.
It's so uncomfortable. I can't move my body at all, and I can't open my eyes. It feels so stuffy, like I'm completely sealed in cold, raw mud and rocks.
Lu Cang's consciousness slowly returned, and his divine sense spread in all directions.
Lu Cang wanted to do that, but he found that his divine sense couldn't spread out. No... he should say that he didn't have any divine sense.
He no longer holds a divine position.
The divine position has been stripped away, and the divine foundation and divine fire have dissipated.
He's already dead.
However, it is different from true death; the soul of the deceased should go to the underworld.
This is not the underworld.
"Wake up."
"Wake up."
Whose voice is that?
Lu Cang struggled with his will, but he couldn't open his eyes, nor could he sense anything...
bite--
bite--
bite--
But then came a series of sounds of smashing and breaking.
It sounded like a hard hammer striking heavy crystal, one loud blow after another.
Sudden.
It felt as if a bright beam of light was shining in.
It was a beautiful color, a dazzling purple halo shining down. Lu Cang found that he could move again. He couldn't move the rest of his body, but he could open his eyes.
I opened my eyes and saw a dazzling expanse of purple.
Within the purple light, there was a blurry creature whose entire body was shrouded in dark purple light, and the light in its hand transformed into sharp nails.
They are chiseling away at this clear crystal again and again.
bite!
"I'll get you rescued soon!"
Lu Cang looked around.
This is...
Oh, I'm enveloped by the Reincarnation Crystal.
I've long heard that there's a kind of crystal in the world that can capture the souls of those who reincarnate.
Lu Cang had never seen it before.
The purpose of this crystal is unknown; perhaps it is only meant to capture beings with endless cycles of reincarnation?
It's as useless as a toilet plunger, which is only used to unclog toilets...
Oh, no, toilets are more common in the world.
The endless cycle of reincarnation—isn't it just about oneself?
Lu Cang's thoughts wandered.
It reminds me of places far away.
They were completely unaware that they were in an extremely difficult situation.
"The cycle of reincarnation failed, didn't it?"
Lu Cang thought to himself.
But what exactly is this creature in front of us?
If this is the boundary of the time loop, why can it appear here?
when!
when!
when!
As the crystal was destroyed, Lu Cang was able to move more and more parts of his body.
My fingers can move slightly now.
The torso can now be twisted slightly.
However, Lu Cang currently possesses no divine power and is merely like an ordinary mortal.
Activities in this environment are extremely restricted.
Click—
Bang!
Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out, followed by a series of cracking and vibrating sounds. A large piece of crystal was pulled out, and Lu Cang found that he could move again.
Lu Cang stood up from the crystal.
They want to take off.
But he discovered that he couldn't fly.
Oh……
There is absolutely no divine position, no...
It's not just that there's no divine position.
Instead, they lost everything.
Now I am just a remnant soul, I have nothing left.
"you……"
Lu Cang simply stood firmly on the crystal, but he couldn't see the entity in front of him at all.
His face was blurry.
But Lu Cang was certain that He was not a weakling.
They are at least powerful beings with divine strength exceeding that of quasi-gods.
"This is not the place to talk."
"Come with me first."
Lu Cang observed that His form was dissipating at a certain speed, and His own body was composed of mist-like matter.
The fog that makes Him is constantly decreasing.
The crystal that bound Lu Cang was constantly generating new crystals, gradually restoring itself.
The misty creature extended a wisp of smoke-like tentacles.
Lu Cang grabbed the smoke.
He pulled Lu Cang up directly.
"We need to leave here first."
"Where to?"
Lu Cang had no idea where he would end up after leaving this place.
Reincarnation failed.
Lu Cang also felt that his Endless Reincarnation Body had become severely damaged.
It's not complete anymore.
From this perspective, it seems that another cycle of reincarnation is probably impossible.
Each cycle repeats.
The only things you can take with you are your own soul and the body that is subject to endless reincarnation.
"Return to the present world."
"Where is the present world?"
"Go to my divine kingdom."
Divine Kingdom...
A self-contained domain that only those with power above the level of a quasi-god can possess.
It seems my guess was right; this was at least a quasi-god, someone who should recognize me...
Lu Cang has no strength whatsoever. At present, Lu Cang's strength is not even as good as that of an ordinary level one human player.
This is the period when we are at our weakest.
Lu Cang could only lie prone behind the smoke.
The smoke carried Lu Cang as he floated, wandering like a ghost in this labyrinth of reincarnation, rendered by countless purple rays of light.
-----------------
[The 64th Floor of the Ultimate Tower]
Lu Cang stepped into the Extreme Tower once again.
Tower of Order
Everything is in order.
A dark figure, shrouded in chaos, faced Lu Cang.
"I know who you are."
On the first floor after entering the Tower of Order, Lu Cang encountered Entimesis.
"I remembered the meaning of my existence."
Entimesi took a slow, deliberate step.
He stepped towards Lu Cang.
This time, it gave Lu Cang a completely different feeling.
It is even more substantial.
Moreover, there is a sense of familiarity that I have never felt before.
Its chaotic appearance gradually changed.
It's as if it's imitating Lu Cang's appearance, but it's not imitating Lu Cang's current form; it's imitating Lu Cang's human appearance.
This is Lu Cang's original appearance when he was still in the Upper Realm, without any disguise.
"Lu Cang".
He called out the name.
This name was hidden by Tish, forgotten by the gods, and abandoned by the world.
Lu Cang frowned slightly.
A thousand-machine box materialized in his hand.
The Thousand Machine Box transformed into a short sword and a dagger, which Lu Cang held on his left and right sides respectively.
Lu Cang rarely uses his personal weapon.
Because it's not needed in most cases.
But now, Lu Cang has a strong intuition... that he might need to use these things to... clean up the mess.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Entimemes, using Lu Cang's appearance, sneered, "Still pretending to be stupid?"
"I don't know, that's all."
Although what the other party said was true.
And it's absolutely impossible that it was just a guess, because there are no such coincidences in the world.
But even if the other party says it, you absolutely cannot admit it.
To acknowledge it is as if one's existence in the world has been confirmed.
In the real world, where the fantasy world has never descended, such sophistry is perhaps useless and feeble.
But this is a dream world.
The difference between acknowledging and not acknowledging is enormous.
Whoosh!
Almost instantly, Lu Cang appeared behind Entimemes, or rather, in front, behind, and to the sides.
Four different Lu Cangs launched attacks simultaneously.
With perfect execution, they blocked all possible counterattacks from Entimes.
Bang!
At this stage, Entimes did not put up any resistance.
He just gave a cold laugh.
Whew~
The dead Entimemes turned into a pool of chaotic liquid, which rose and condensed, transforming into a pitch-black door.
Lu Cang hesitated briefly, but still walked into the doorway.
This is the passageway to the next level.
The monsters that should have appeared in the Tower of Order are no longer there; instead, only Entimesis has taken their place.
As expected.
On the second floor of the Tower of Order, Entimemes was still waiting for Lu Cang.
"Perhaps you think I have already failed."
"But on the contrary, and exactly unlike the story you know... I succeeded."
puff!
Entimesis was once again easily killed by Lu Cang.
After being killed, it transformed into a door once more.
This guided Lu Cang to continue to the next level.
Upon reaching the third level, Lu Cang once again encountered the familiar Entimemes, still sporting its own face.
"You and I have taken completely different paths."
Swish—
Click—
Entimesis's head was severed by Lu Cang.
The corpse, just as before, gradually flowed and manifested as a portal.
Fourth layer —
"hehe."
Bang!
Entimes' body was smashed like a watermelon.
Fifth floor —
"..."
It looked at Lu Cang and remained silent.
However, it did not make any move to attack, but instead simply waited quietly for Lu Cang to attack.
Lu Cang and it waited for each other.
But it only took about five minutes.
Lu Cang couldn't wait any longer.
I'm in a hurry, and if I keep staring at this thing like this, when will it ever end?
I can't afford to waste my own time...
Moreover, having come this far, there's no turning back.
Entimes still did not resist.
And so, he was killed by Lu Cang once again.
It's like performing a ritual.
right……
In fact, Lu Cang had figured it out.
Entimemas is also completing its own ritual, being defeated time and time again, and becoming stronger each time.
Isn't this also a kind of ritualistic route?
[Fifteenth Floor]
"You think you're achieving your chaotic perfection, but you haven't noticed my presence."
[Twentieth Floor]
"Still haven't you remembered, you who have been forgotten?"
[25th Floor]
"In this world, there may be no one who understands you better than me, a cruel madman who can give up everything to achieve his goals."
[Thirtieth Floor]
"You and I should have been the same."
"However, you and I have ultimately taken completely different paths."
[Thirty-sixth floor]
Lu Cang returned to the thirty-sixth floor and met Entimemes.
This should be the final ending.
All sixty-four towers at their highest point.
Once the level is cleared, the most sacred and perfect ritual can be completed.
As for the Primal Chaos Ritual, with the assistance of Kumironi's Ladder of Life, the conditions for "Inclusion" were also met.
This means that as long as Entimes in front of him is killed.
Lu Cang will be able to complete two rituals at the same time.
Advance to the level of a demigod.
Perhaps, this is what it means to become the strongest demigod in the true sense.
Behind Entimemes, countless afterimages appeared.
[Devouring Godhood] [Embracing Godhood] [Merging Godhood] [Ever-Changing Godhood] [Ultimate Godhood]...
On its body, patterns of constitutions such as [Gluttony], [Lust], [Greed], [Pride], [Envy], [Sloth], [Holy Source Body], and [Primordial Darkness and Nothingness] also appeared.
These physical constitutions.
Lu Cang could be described as extremely familiar with him.
Na, Xin Baiyue, Grindor, Brave Warrior, Xin Jueyue, Neherkato, Bailu, and Leng Qingying are the owners of these constitutions.
In this era.
In fact, there shouldn't be any acquired constitution.
People like Zuya and Obades have innate physical constitutions, which cannot be taken away from them.
Physiques such as the Seven Sins, the Twelve Palaces, and the Three Illusions are not innate but acquired later in life.
This guy possesses things that don't belong to this era.
"Does it look familiar?"
"Entimesis said with a sneer."
“Azure”.
"Lu Cang".
Lu Cang stretched out one hand, and the original darkness, nothingness, arrogance, and holy source body overlapped.
On the way to the tower.
Lu Cang had already begun to have his own guesses.
A situation that I had already overlooked.
...
An endless cycle of reincarnation.
One's own endless cycle of reincarnation is unique.
If one wants to create an existence that is exactly the same as oneself and deceive Rona's eyes, then the Endless Cycle Body must be separated from oneself.
Grafted onto the clone.
Otherwise, given Rona's comprehensive knowledge of everything, she could easily have seen through the deception.
It must be completely identical, with nothing left.
Only then could he deceive Rona.
However, this raises a problem.
Where did the clone that died with endless reincarnation go?
Has it entered the next cycle of reincarnation?
Or is it...?
Reincarnation failed.
No……
Lu Cang already had the answer in his heart; the answer was right in front of him, and it was already very obvious.
"Can you tell me what happened to you?"
“If we share the same memories and the same experiences, you should be able to understand why I did this.”
“I think that even if you manage to get out of this predicament, you should be able to understand me.”
"I don't know how you became like this."
Entimesis still had Lu Cang's face.
The most original appearance.
He gave a cold laugh.
"I just realized how annoying you are."
Do you think you're considering my feelings?
"No...you just want to know the information so you can come up with a response plan, right?"
"But then again, they're all the same."
Just like you said, after I woke up, I was indeed still thinking about how to realize 'our' dream.
Even knowing that I was a defective product manufactured, I still think this way.
Lu Cang nodded.
Because Lu Cang himself thought the same way.
If one day you discover that you are actually a copy of another version of yourself in a scheme, you will also find ways to continue fulfilling that other person's wishes.
Because ultimately, it's all about achieving a goal.
The method by which it is achieved is not important.
It doesn't matter who you are.
It doesn't matter who does it.
If the other person has the same personality and memories as you, then logically these thoughts should also be the same.
So, what exactly caused it to become like this?
They became like his own enemy.
Lu Cang was waiting for Entimes to tell him the answer.
But Entimes, standing before him, gave a playful smile.
Are you expecting the enemy to tell you the information you want to know?
The more you want to know...
"The less I tell you, the less I'll tell you."
Bang!
Almost instantly, Entimes arrived in front of Lu Cang.
Entimesis: [Arrogance - Serious Mode]
Lu Cang: [Arrogance - Serious State]
Both of them activated their arrogant traits instantly and entered a serious state!
But the next moment!
As Entimes swung the Chaos Sword down!
Laziness – laxity and slackness
Lu Cang's serious demeanor vanished instantly!
Tsk—
call!
The sword formed from chaos slashed down, but instead of piercing through Lu Cang's body, it shrouded Lu Cang's body in a layer of chaos.
A chaotic mist enveloped Lu Cang's body, continuously eroding and wearing down his life.
However, it did not actually cause any harm to Lu Cang.
After all, Zuya's talent provides such high damage reduction.
Lu Cang was hit head-on and immediately vanished into nothingness.
But the other party also vanished into nothingness.
The opponent also possessed the original Dark Void Body, and the level of activation was no lower than his own.
Entimes cast the spell again.
【Eternal Chaos (Eight Stars)】
Buzz—
A persistent sense of chaos enveloped Lu Cang.
However, it was unclear what kind of restriction this move had caused. Lu Cang chased after Entimes, but there was a significant difference in speed between the two.
When he's in a serious state, the difference compared to his normal state is still too great.
Entimesis, who retreated, was not caught by Lu Cang.
Lu Cang saw this.
The Mithril Hydra appeared in his hand.
call!
In an instant, billions of arrows burst forth toward Entimesis! Every corner of the space was filled with powerful arrow spirits.
However, none of the arrows landed on Entimemes.
The chaos expanded, transforming into countless gaping mouths facing in all directions.
He swallowed all of these arrows directly into his body.
Not only did it not cause any damage, it also increased the opponent's maximum health.
It has quite a lot of health.
It has a total of 50 million units of blood.
It was only half as much as Lu Cang.
It is less than half as perfect as this chaos that has been nourished by the God of Life.
Lu Cang changed his tactics again.
boom!
In an instant, three calamities arose!
The destructive domain of thunder, fire, and ice completely covered the battlefield, while Lu Cang held the Heavenly Balance high, his expression serious.
This guy...
The normal approach is really not working.
Lu Cang changed his hand again.
【Flame Demon Plane Summoning (Eight-Star)】
[Effect: Summons a plane populated entirely by Balrogs, where the highest Balrog to appear with the same divine power rank as you will fight for you.]
One after another, dimensional rifts tore open.
This is also a new skill that Lu Cang has learned.
Lu Cang can also accept daily tasks in the guild, but he can only do so secretly so that Bai Lu and the others don't find out.
Therefore, Lu Cang was also able to obtain an eight-star skill book.
By learning an extra book, you can gain additional insights into two more.
In reality, learning one skill could be exchanged for two random skills, which is not a sign of weakening divine authority.
Let's assume we learn nine-star skills.
Is learning one Nine Stars the same as learning two Nine Stars?
The current [Perfect Entropy Increase] skill eliminates the need to waste the skills you originally wanted to learn; you can directly learn two more.
Learning one is equivalent to learning three.
Furthermore, with the ability to unleash all the evolutions of skills, Lu Cang's skill repertoire is naturally terrifyingly vast.
[Flame Demon Plane Summoning (8-star)] --> [Ice Giant Plane Summoning (8-star)] --> [Earth Rock Element Plane Summoning (8-star)]...
A series of dimensional summonings were activated.
Besides dimensional summoning, there are countless smaller summoning skills that have evolved.
These summoned creatures, upon entering the area of destruction magic...
It turned to ashes in an instant.
But their deaths were not in vain; they directly became nourishment for the destructive magic, unleashing a new wave of destructive magic here!
Swish swish swish—
[Chaos Bloom + Destruction Lotus]
This is perhaps the most beautiful lotus bloom, and each destructive spell that blooms is then split into even more skills by the chaotic bloom—
In an instant, this battlefield was covered with countless layers of destructive magic.
An eight-star skill of the Destruction type.
That would be enough to destroy the heavens and the earth.
Stacked with hundreds of millions of layers...
What boundless destructive power does this possess?
"fry."
boom!
The white deer's destructive magic exploded in an instant, a sight that could only be described as dazzling and spectacular.
The destructive magic released by Lu Cang exploded in a concentrated burst.
It makes people realize that the purest thing in this world is light.
Under such an extreme outbreak.
Even in this state, Entimemasis was unable to resist this terrifying power.
The first phase of Entimes was destroyed.
Following the aftershocks of the explosion, the second and third phases also collapsed!
Lu Cang did not stop the destruction.
Instead, he raised his hand and summoned more creatures, fourteen phantoms simultaneously filling the field, while his incantation was chanted like a resounding bell.
This horrific bombing spree is far from over.
On the contrary, with the superposition of multiple Lu Cang illusions, it was strengthened time and time again.
Entimersis's body always seems to want to solidify.
However, it could not be reassembled under this fierce attack, which was the superposition of hundreds of millions of destructive spells, large and small, from ancient times to the present!
And it concentrates all the power of these destructive spells and explodes them completely in an instant!
As long as there are enough stacked quantities.
Even the fearless warrior's attack damage is far less terrifying than the White Deer's burst damage.
-----------------
I'm so tired today. I'll finish the 8,000 words tomorrow, so today's total is only 6,000.
There are many forks in the road, and there are always things that cannot be predicted, and there are always things that we do to deserve our own misfortune.
