Boom!

In the golden hall, as a burst of light exploded before his eyes, Ash felt as if his body was hit by a sledgehammer and his whole body was shaking.

Even though the soul body would not bleed, he still felt dizzy, as if there were five hundred fat cats barking in his ears, and his vision was full of double images.

The six four-winged spirits fell to the ground, visibly exhausted, without even the strength to fly. The failure of the spirit gathering not only caused severe damage to Ash, but also overwhelmed the spirits.

In the hall, except for Weisser who was in better condition, everyone else looked like they hadn't woken up yet, their expressions were groggy, like dolls. Even though they still looked beautiful, they exuded a sense of withering.

They have been working for twelve hours straight.

As soon as they started to create gods, they understood why only the magicians of truth could complete the virtual godhood.

The method of creating a virtual godhead is simple, but also extremely difficult, because it only has one step - gathering spirits.

As mentioned before, although there are single-faction magic spirits such as the 'Sword of Slashing', there are more compound-faction magic spirits similar to the 'Wave Sword', which belong to swordsmanship but also contain different faction factors such as light magic, wind magic, etc., but the proportions are different.

The so-called gathering of spirits is to extract the factors of the same faction from different magic spirits, and then piece them together into fragments of virtual godhood!

Nightmare cast 'Same Bed, Different Dreams' on them not simply to coerce them, because 'Same Bed, Different Dreams' is full of nightmare pollution, which increases their sensitivity to nightmares, so they can clearly distinguish the nightmare power in different magic spirits.

To put it in an analogy, they are like graduates who have entered a nightmare company. When they change jobs and see keywords such as 'young and energetic team', 'afternoon tea, snacks and gym provided', 'fast work pace' and 'salary negotiable', they know how nightmare this company is.

Ash and his team need to control multiple magic spirits at the same time, separate the "nightmare" factors one by one, and then blend them into fragments and stuff them into the virtual godhead maintained by nightmare. It sounds like a slow job, but the problem is that a fragment is often composed of several, dozens or even dozens of fragments!

Separation is extremely exhausting, and if it is not separated purely and contains impurities, it will cause a gathering explosion! But if the separated factors are too few and cannot form fragments of sufficient size, you have to start over!

In essence, gathering souls is equivalent to a miracle composed of multiple souls. Failure to gather souls is equivalent to the miracle backlash, and it is not surprising to be severely damaged. The core requirement for gathering souls is naturally computing and processing capabilities. Truth magicians are not only good at this, but also have a much higher sensitivity to soul factors than other magicians. For example, Ash and his team have caused dozens of soul gathering explosions due to impure separation, while Weisser has only caused two!

You know, Ash and his team can only deal with fragments of less than ten, while Weisser has been dealing with more than ten large fragments, and her work efficiency is more than four times that of them. It can be seen that the Truth Master is naturally gifted in this regard.

Although it was extremely difficult, this valuable experience also allowed them to begin to understand the wonders of the virtual godhood flow - in simple terms, it was like stacking building blocks.

The magic spirit is the building block module, and the factor is the color of the building block. Put them together to assemble the godhood, and then add the concept to add the finishing touch to the god, creating a god that is exactly the same as the building block. The principle is not complicated, but how to design the building block diagram and what kind of magic spirit is needed, I am afraid that only magicians who have entered the realm of God have a clue.

But compared to the soul godhead flow, the virtual godhead flow is indeed superior - first, it can be completed by one person, second, there are no strict requirements on materials, and all magic spirits can be replaced, and third, it avoids the curse of the virtual realm!

From the fact that the last step of the ritual of "Still Spirit" requires spending a cycle in the Quiet Realm, it can be seen that the virtual curses encountered by the Soul Godhead Flow are all natural disasters that ordinary magicians cannot survive - they don't even have a chance to survive if they want to, because the Quiet Realm is exclusive to the Continent of Time.

Not to mention how difficult it is for a demigod to return to the lower virtual realm, as we can see from what happened to the nightmare angel, if you want to create a god in the virtual realm, the biggest obstacle is other magicians!

It is worth mentioning that Ash unknowingly discovered the entry into the Truth Faction. Apparently, the job of gathering spirits would accumulate Truth experience, and then others would share a part of it with him. In addition, Weisser has also been sharing experience with him, so it is natural for him to reach the silver level now.

But it's already the limit.

Ash looked at the operators and said, "Nightmare, we have to rest. We can't hold on even if we restore our soul energy."

Sonia, Diya, and Weisser all stopped and looked at Nightmare quietly.

Nightmare naturally helped them recover their soul energy, otherwise they would have run out of energy and been kicked out of the virtual world. But recovering soul energy is not a panacea. They worked 12 hours of high-intensity and boring work without any rest in between, which was enough to make them feel strongly uncomfortable.

Their souls are still strong, but the light in their eyes is dimming little by little.

However, in the face of such a reasonable request, Nightmare shook his head firmly: "No, I need to consume source crystals to maintain my virtual godhood, and I cannot stop in the middle. It will be a huge waste for you to rest. Of course, the main body has prepared a miracle for you to restore your spirit-"

"But I need to go back to reality." Diya said, "I'll be back after I give my instructions—"

"No, Xu."

Suddenly, it was as if their bodies were filled with needles and they were rolling on the ground. The intense pain penetrated their souls, making them bend over in pain and gasp for breath, almost losing consciousness!

"You are not allowed to leave here, and you are not allowed to return to reality." Nightmare said word by word: "No one is allowed to leave before the creation of the god is completed."

Ash glanced at the operators, stared at Nightmare and said, "But we have a curse of sharing the same bed but different dreams. I will stay as a hostage. Even if they don't come back, you can--"

“But you might leak the secret to the outside world, causing the creation of the god to fail.” Nightmare said: “The mistakes that I made must never be repeated.”

"As for your problems such as lack of concentration, I will solve them for you immediately."

Nightmare pointed at Diya, and then boiling waves appeared on Diya's body. Streams of air flowed into the other three people along the connection of sharing the same bed but different dreams. Ash could clearly feel the thoughts exploding in his mind, and his spirit was excited, as if the whole world became clear.

But the price was that the witch almost fell to her knees, her shoulders shaking with pain!

"Stop!" Ash stood up and stood between Nightmare and the Witch, shouting, "What are you doing!?"

"Same Bed, Different Dreams Transformation Spell." Nightmare said, "This move can connect to enemies, friendly forces, or even enemies and yourself. When connecting to friendly forces, you can consume the soul of one person and add powerful buffs to all friendly forces."

"Essentially, this consumes the target's soul limit and adds the soul limits of other people, so the target's soul cannot return to normal for the time being. However, it is worthwhile to consume one person to replenish the whole group."

Sonia went over and hugged the witch, lowered her head to restrain her angry eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Then let's continue working, okay?"

“No.” Nightmare said, “Even if you don’t tell me, when the Truth Magician enters the slack period, I will activate this miracle to increase her soul. Your role is to enable the Truth Magician to hold on to the end.”

"Stop." Ash said, "Let me take over."

Diya gritted her teeth and said in a trembling voice: "Viewer, I, I didn't--"

"Are you sure?" Nightmare said, "I'm sure she has the highest soul limit among you, so I chose her first."

It is not surprising that the witch is the person with the highest soul limit. She has multiple personalities that are tempered day and night. When she first entered the Holy Land, she had twenty-five souls, and now she has reached forty souls.

"Sure."

Ash quickly spent 30 points to buy a set of source crystals, then equipped the Soul Stealer Manual and activated the effect of 'Soul Burning Map'!

With the explosion of the loud gust of wind, his souls increased from thirty to three hundred in an instant. The sudden increase in the upper limit of his soul made his soul body more solid and clear, and his hair became clearer as well.

Nightmare was not surprised at all, just nodded and pointed at Ash.

boom!

The huge pressure instantly bent Ash's waist, and the pain of being stabbed by countless knives permeated his soul. In other words, the soul body cannot sweat, otherwise he would sweat like rain!

He covered his mouth to try to endure it, and straightened his back to try to resist, but everything only made the pain more obvious.

Soon, his consciousness began to disintegrate and his mind went blank. Instead, he was filled with cold-blooded calmness and countless colliding thoughts.

The correct way to use Same Bed, Different Dreams is probably to connect the enemy and yourself, and then launch a different dream on yourself, causing the enemy to be cursed by nightmares as well. But apparently nightmare angels are immune to nightmares...

The reason why Nightmare Angel failed was because he was betrayed, so the program he left for Nightmare emphasized that he was not allowed to leave the virtual world...

Nightmare had never attacked before, probably because the keyword "leave" triggered his built-in program, so there must be other dangerous or even deadly keywords...

Weisser watched as Ash's profile gradually changed from unbearable pain to calm, his shoulders stopped shaking, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, and the light in his eyes became deep and unfathomable. She immediately recognized that this was the viewer Ash whom she had always dreamed of.

Someone who is colder-blooded, calmer and more perfect than her!

Weisser had never thought that the hope she had almost completely given up would appear before her again. Almost subconsciously, she couldn't help but think - what would happen if Ash really changed?

In the virtual world, with a perfect observer Ash leading the team, the benefits are definitely double or even ten times what they were before! No one knows better than Weisser how powerful a perfect Ash is. Normally, he has never tapped his potential!

In reality, if Ash changed, she wouldn't need to consider his psychological endurance. As long as she told him the truth, he would become her ally. Moreover, although he wouldn't like her, he wouldn't like Sword Lady and Witch either. As long as she could keep him by her side... As long as...

Weisser took a shallow breath, but then she looked determined, pursed her lips, stood up and walked towards Ash.

Obviously, Ash was more fearless and stronger now than before, but Weisser felt sad. No matter how many reasons she had, she couldn't suppress that irrational thought -

No change allowed!

Change it back for me!

So she rushed over and tried to reach out -

"Viewer!"

Sonia held Ash in her arms, whispered softly in his ear, and rubbed his face affectionately. Diya had also recovered from the pain just now, and could only hold Ash's hand, anxiously not knowing how to help.

Weisser, who was a step slower, stopped outside and watched Ash's expression gradually regain its vitality and even a hint of pain and happiness. Finally, she suddenly realized -

yes.

Ash's experiences in Blood Moon and Gospel were no safer than those in Senluo, and were even more cruel and bloody - Ash was at least a sanctuary magician in Senluo, but a death row prisoner in Blood Moon and a slave in Gospel.

He had so many reasons to change in the past, and if he could change, he should have changed a long time ago.

But just as he pulled the fallen Sword Lady and protected the crazy Witch, the Sword Lady and the Witch also pulled him back from the abyss.

Theirs is a formed relationship of mutual redemption, and there is no room for anyone else to intervene.

She actually thought that she could take Ash away from them...

Suddenly, Weisser saw Sword Princess waving at her, and when she walked over, Sword Princess held her hand tightly, as if she wanted to show their unity.

Your hand was touching Ash's face just now...

Just when Weisser was slightly distracted, she found that Jian Ji was writing on her palm.

It is a word that means "danger".

Weisser looked at Ash, who was resting his head on Sword Princess' chest in unbearable pain and gave her a look.

The nightmare inheritance is extremely dangerous.

Although Ash had left the long-lost spectator state, his thoughts in the spectator state did not dissipate. He suddenly realized a problem - the nightmare angel was a sorcerer!

Look at the other two sorcerers, the Lord of Time and the Ghost Prophet. Although the former opened the Eternal City and did not prohibit the use of sorcerer spirits and magical powers, he added a new rule: sorcerers cannot destroy sorcerer spirits inside the Eternal City and cannot leave the virtual realm.

Simply put, even if the magician obtains the inheritance of time, he has to leave the Eternal City along the same route to return to reality. If he dies in the process, there is a 100% explosion rate. Even if he wants to destroy his magic spirit, it will not be easy for the enemy to do it!

It is conceivable how serious the infighting in the Eternal City is, and the difficulty of the Eternal City itself is not low. It is conservatively estimated that at least nearly 120,000 winged magicians have died in the Eternal City in the past month!

And this is what the King of Time wants - he is not a real race, but an ancient elf who hates magicians. Although I don't know why he left behind his inheritance, I definitely hope that real magicians will suffer heavy casualties!

As for the Ghost Prophet, it is even more blatant. He pretends to give out the 'Ghost Key', a prop for escape. Once the magician starts to bravely break through the levels, he will encounter fatal levels such as 'Haunting Dreams' and 'Resurrection', and he can't even escape!

The Ghost Prophet knows that the magicians of the Holy Land are all cunning people. In order to lure them into taking risks and going deeper, he designs sweet treats in front of them, just to make the younger magicians die tragically.

This is a very normal train of thought: they are originally evil sorcerers who harm others for their own benefit. If it weren't for the fact that their time is up and there are no successors, how could they leave behind a legacy? But even so, they would not let their descendants have an easy life. They would even set up dangerous traps for the successors who could inherit their legacy.

The reason only needs three words: Why?

Why should I die so that you can get my inheritance?

Yes, I had to stay, but how could I vent my anger without letting you suffer?

In comparison, Nightmare Legacy seems surprisingly lenient!

There is no test, they are rewarded for coming here, and they are also given gods and heaven, which is not enough for their own children. Although the dream is a bit cruel, it is for outsiders after all, so don't ask too much of the nightmare angels.

Just when Ash thought that the Nightmare Angel had a change of heart before dying, the Nightmare's behavior just now completely shattered his extravagant hopes.

Setting the torture keyword and consuming their souls to ensure the endurance of the truth magician, these actions prove that the nightmare angel was still wicked before his death. He couldn't bear to see the younger generation of magicians doing well, so he tortured and killed them at will!

If the Nightmare Angels were good people, even if Diya said something wrong, they could just warn her. Why torture her directly? If the Nightmare Angels were kind elders who retained the nature of sorcerers, they could also capture someone from the Ghost Heritage to serve as a soul refueler for them. How could they be treated as consumables?

The most important thing is that Nightmare never regarded them as successors from the beginning to the end, but only regarded them as "truth magicians and expendable props", and they couldn't even smell the pie in the sky!

Since the Nightmare Angel is a bad guy, but he was so generous in giving them the inheritance, it can only prove one thing - there is something wrong with this inheritance.

At least, they are definitely not the real beneficiaries of the nightmare inheritance!

Only in this way can we explain the generosity and cruelty of the nightmare angels - for the tools, of course, we must generously give them the tools and cruelly urge them on!

If they really try to create gods honestly, at best they will waste their time, and at worst they will be wiped out by the nightmare!

But Ash couldn't say it out loud, because the Nightmare Angels had probably set up relevant keywords, and if they violated the nightmare, they would definitely be destroyed.

Weisser pondered for a moment, glanced at Ash's hand on Sword Lady's thigh, but finally wrote a few words on Sword Lady's palm.

Sonia was a little confused, but she still conveyed it to Ash.

Ash frowned slightly, but immediately relaxed and reached out his hand to Weisser.

The two held hands tightly, and Sonia sat in the middle and put her hand on it. Diya was amused and put her hand on it too.

After a moment, Nightmare suddenly said, "Five minutes, keep working."

Sonia looked at Ash in her arms, and her ruby ​​eyes asked, "Little boy, what's wrong with you? Didn't you feel any pain five minutes ago?"

But Ash hugged her shamelessly and took a deep breath against her neck.

This was the first time that they had done such an intimate act in front of everyone. The Sword Saint blushed a little embarrassedly, but still reached out to hug her back. However, when she saw Ash also went over to hug the witch, the smile on the village girl's face quickly faded.

However, at this moment, the golden palace suddenly shook.

Everyone looked up at the ceiling, their faces changed drastically. Nightmare had no expression at all, he just urged again: "Start working."

Outside, after resting, Igula returned to the distant sky again.

He looked at the dense black dots clustered around the golden bubbles with a stern expression:

"Can it only be delayed until now..."
