Chapter 133. The Meteor in the Energy Lake...
Lin Xiaoxiao, who had just crossed the barrier, did not land immediately. Instead, she floated in mid-air, calmly looking down at the swaying lake below.
The surface of the energy lake moved automatically without wind. As the ripples on the water became larger and larger, many dark figures swam upwards from the depths of the energy lake.
Suddenly, from an energy lake that covered seven acres, half of a giant emerged. The giant's body was charred from head to toe, and his upper body was estimated to be more than ten meters tall. His shoulder blades, neck, and wrists were bound by special energy.
The giant roared at Lin Xiaoxiao in the sky, rattling the chains binding him, his voice extremely hoarse: "Give me, give me, the divine position, the divine position."
Lin Xiaoxiao deftly dodged the large hand that reached out to grab her.
Sensing the remaining divine power on the giant's body, I was somewhat surprised. I never expected that the bottom of this lake would actually hide a fallen god from thousands of years ago, and that the fallen god's remains still contained so much divine power.
In her previous life, Lin Xiaoxiao had visited this land of fallen gods quite often, but she had never seen a fallen god appear in the lake.
Later on, in order to escape the greedy pursuit, they practically made this special lake their base camp, living there for two or three years.
She squinted and examined it carefully for a while, comparing the characteristics of this fallen god with the great battle of gods she had seen in the tomb of the [God of Prophecy] to identify which god it was.
Looking at the distinctive scar on the giant's shoulder, combined with his size, impatient temper, and burn marks all over his body...
It should be the foreign god who was besieged by several native gods and fought for seven days and seven nights before being defeated by their siege: Ultonis (the former god of beast spirits).
[Ultonis, the God of Beasts, is a deity born from the XSA342-21-232 galactic plane. His divine authority governs all beastmen and living beings in his galaxy. He ensures that all beastmen and living beings thrive, have many children, and enjoy good fortune.]
As a radical alien deity, He repeatedly attempted to invade this planet and make it His breeding ground for His faith.
Ultimately, he was besieged and killed by Quan Zhi and other local gods, stripped of his divine bones and core, and removed from his divine position.
Unexpectedly, he was not completely dead and survived by hiding deep in the energy lake of this land of fallen gods.
"Divine position, divine position."
"Give me the throne, I want to leave."
...
Large and small Fallen Gods gradually emerged from the energy lake. They were all bound by chains in the energy lake, with only their upper bodies showing. The largest of them was the first former Beast Spirit God to emerge from the energy lake.
Even the smallest of the Fallen Gods, with its exposed upper body, is about five meters long.
Lin Xiaoxiao attached the energy patch to her eyes, which glowed with golden light, and quickly scanned the energy lake below, trying to see if there was anything different.
But after a few minutes, apart from eye strain, they couldn't tell the difference between these energy lakes at all.
A fallen god suddenly struggled from the energy lake, reaching out to grab Lin Xiaoxiao who was floating in mid-air. However, due to the distance, it was violently pulled back into the lake by the energy chains, making a loud 'dong—'
The energy lake was smashed into a bottomless crater, and many water droplets splashed into the air.
Lin Xiaoxiao dodged the giant hand reaching down from below from time to time, and asked Quan Zhi through the contract: "Will there really be limbs of mine that I sacrificed in this energy lake?"
Quan Zhi, inside Lin Xiaoxiao's body, also surveyed the energy lake through her eyes.
Its eyebrows furrowed in confusion, and its tone carried a hint of uncertainty: "According to Xiao Daina's prophetic clues, the only remaining azure lake is the energy lake of the Land of Fallen Gods."
"Try releasing some energy and summoning it? Normally, since the limbs come from your own body, there should be a response if you summon them."
Following Quan Zhi's instructions, Lin Xiaoxiao then released her own energy.
Aside from making the Fallen God below even more desperate and struggling to grab her, she didn't sense any special response.
After several hours of searching without any success, Lin Xiaoxiao had no choice but to fly away from the lakes and return to the cliff where Xiao Weizhi was.
The cliff, which was originally only 3 square meters in size, was transformed by Xiao Weizhi using his energy into a platform of about 30 square meters. He then placed protective shields, tents, fences, and a campfire on it, turning it into a temporary campsite.
Lin Xiaoxiao passed through the protective barrier and landed on the platform.
Then they saw Xiao Weizhi sitting on a small stool by the campfire, holding a sleeping black cat in his arms, cooking a small pot of soup that was bubbling away. The warm yellow firelight shone on his handsome face.
When Lin Xiaoxiao saw this scene, her heart couldn't help but feel a slight surge of heat, and it raced for several seconds. Her gaze towards him was filled with tenderness that she herself didn't even realize.
When Xiao Weizhi saw Lin Xiaoxiao return with a cold face, he guessed that things might not be going well, so he got up and put the black cat in his arms on a small stool.
Then he came over, put his arm around her shoulder, and asked with a light laugh, "Aren't you going to compliment me? I think you'll definitely like this campsite setup."
Lin Xiaoxiao gently freed herself from his large hand, wrapped her arms around his neck, pulled him down slightly, and, standing on tiptoe, gave him a light peck on his thin lips: "Weizhi, you're amazing!"
As she stepped back, Xiao Weizhi bent down, reached out and pressed the back of her head, the movement was swift and smooth, and he opened his mouth to deepen the kiss.
In the light of the campfire, two figures pressed together, their shadows intertwined and becoming one.
For the next ten days or so, Lin Xiaoxiao crossed the barrier above the energy lake and entered it every day without fail.
Despite trying every possible method, we were unable to find anything different about these energy lakes.
She also learned from Quan Zhi why they had trapped these fallen gods here in the first place.
It started with the idea of replenishing the planet's energy.
Even though they bound the goddess of fortune to the core, preventing the planet from exploding.
This is all because the planet's core was destroyed. With the core shattered, it was unable to replenish its energy and maintain operation on its own.
So they trapped these fallen gods here to replenish the planet's energy, which unexpectedly formed this special energy lake.
As for why Lin Xiaoxiao never saw the appearance of the Fallen God in her previous life...
The reason she saw them in this lifetime is most likely because the ruby ring containing the divine position was hidden in her space, emitting special energy that attracted these fallen gods who were sleeping in the energy lake.
Lin Xiaoxiao stood beside an energy lake that resembled a gourd in shape and had a deep blue color. A Fallen God, about 6 meters tall, was kicked away from the lake next to her and tried to grab her.
He sighed helplessly, asking himself uncertainly, "Is Quan Zhi really here?"
During this time, she searched in circles.
They bled, released energy, drew summoning magic circles... and even risked diving into several energy lakes, fighting the Fallen Gods inside several times, but still had no clue.
With her eyes closed, Quan Zhi quickly searched her mind for any possible clues.
After a moment, it said in a somewhat confused and dejected tone, "I don't know either. I've already searched through all the ancient books I could think of."
Could we have really made a mistake? But on the surface of the earth, the only remaining azure lake is this special energy lake.
The other lakes have been polluted and turned black, or have become dry craters.
Lin Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and sighed softly, "There might be something we missed. We still have time, let's look again."
'bi.bi.bi……' The alarm clock rang, and she reached out to turn off the communicator on her wrist, which had been using only small functions such as lighting and setting alarms because it was not connected to the internet.
This was arranged by Xiao Weizhi to remind her that it was time to go back to the camp for a meal.
This energy lake is special; only divine agents and gods can pass through the barrier to enter. Therefore, Xiao Weizhi and the black cat could only wait for Lin Xiaoxiao in the makeshift camp.
She said to Quan Zhi in her heart, "Come again tomorrow, there might be something we missed."
Quan Zhi nodded inside her: "Okay."
While Lin Xiaoxiao and Quan Zhi, along with their spirit, were still searching diligently in the Energy Lake.
Meanwhile, in the mysterious underground laboratory, the black-eyed Nuenro had completely completed his experiment.
He stood on the edge of a special circular arena that had been dug down about 90 meters, was 130 meters in diameter, and was sunken inwards. Looking at the juvenile evil gods crawling inside, he raised his hand and overturned several large barrels next to him.
The fresh flesh and blood in the bucket fell to the ground, causing the juvenile evil god, which had been slowly wandering in the arena, to gather together and frantically devour it.
When the largest evil god's juvenile form grew to over 30 meters, Nuenro picked up a 1.5-meter-long energy gun from the side.
More than thirty black energy bullets were fired at the grown-up evil god.
Amidst a series of explosions, the evil god's nascent form was blasted into hundreds of pieces of minced meat.
Before long, the pieces of flesh began to grow tiny tentacles, transforming back into the juvenile form of the evil god. At an extremely slow pace, it climbed the ground of the arena, searching for food.
Nuenro's lips curled into a wide, wicked smile: "This is fantastic. Even if you're blown to pieces, you can still become a child form of an evil god. What a perfect experiment!"
Liu Duoxin stood aside, looking at Nu Enluo's smile, and took a few steps back with some disgust, choosing to stay far away from this pervert.
Nu Enlu turned to Liu Duoxin and said, "Miss Liu, go and report to the God of Greed. I'm all ready, and the plan can begin."
Liu Duoxin glanced coldly at Nu Enluo, picked up her 'pet', and turned to leave...
'Peng—' A fallen god, 7 meters tall and covered in scars, was slashed away by a sword, crashing into the edge of the energy pool where he was, before sliding into the pool and disappearing without a trace.
Lin Xiaoxiao dispelled the energy lightsaber in her hand, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, calmed herself for a few minutes, and then flew away with a sullen face.
A moment later, she landed on a familiar platform, slowly looking around with a slight smile on her lips.
She remembered that when she first came here, the lake was still lava. It wasn't until she awakened her memories from her past life and absorbed the energy that the lake turned back to light blue.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoxiao stared at the special energy lake, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind: 'Could we go down to the bottom of this lake and take a look?'
The main reason is that this lake is so special.
She mobilized the energy within her body, covering her body with a thin film of energy, and jumped directly into the light blue energy lake.
Following the location I remembered, I swam toward the spot where the coffin had been floating.
It took about half an hour of swimming to reach the location of the already opened crystal coffin.
Lin Xiaoxiao swam around the crystal coffin several times in the water like a nimble fish, without noticing it.
Behind her, a figure that looked like a water ghost appeared silently.
The figure was slightly taller than Lin Xiaoxiao, with long, gray hair that reached past her ankles, which flowed freely in the water, obscuring her face.
It was covered by a thin film of water, and it was because of this film that it was able to appear silently behind Lin Xiaoxiao without being detected.
Lin Xiaoxiao frowned and stared at the crystal coffin in front of her, lost in thought.
Suddenly, she felt a strong push from behind and fell directly into the crystal coffin.
The next second, the door to the crystal coffin was closed.
As Lin Xiaoxiao fell into the crystal coffin, she quickly turned around and kicked the crystal coffin door several times, almost kicking the door that had just been closed away.
Unexpectedly, the water element seemed to gain consciousness, transforming directly into strands of azure chains that densely wrapped around the coffin.
The crystal coffin, which was originally colorless, was also tinged with a deep blue color under the illumination of the azure energy chains.
Through the gaps in the energy chains, Lin Xiaoxiao could vaguely see a blurry figure pulling the crystal coffin deeper into the depths.
She gritted her teeth in resentment and slammed the crystal coffin shut a few times: "Damn it."
That thing, whether human or ghost, was definitely not a fallen god.
The Fallen Goddess possessed residual divine power, which she could sense even from fifty meters away, without her using it.
Quan Zhi looked through Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes at the blurry figure, and his heart skipped a beat. Could it be her?
Two and a half hours later, the crystal coffin containing Lin Xiaoxiao was pulled to the bottom, where a platform resembling an altar was built using stones that looked like gemstones.
The entire platform covers an area of approximately 500 square meters and is surrounded by dozens of round pillars, which are either embedded in the mountainside by the lake or stand in it, arranged in a very irregular manner.
In the center of the altar, there is an irregular nine-sided magic circle with a diameter of approximately 4.99 meters.
This magic circle is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom, with black at the top, gold in the middle, and red at the bottom, making it look like an irregular pear shape.
The figure stood on the platform, holding one end of the energy chain.
Then the magic circle rapidly flashed with azure light, reflecting layers of azure light above, dyeing the surrounding lake water a special azure blue, making it look exceptionally beautiful.
Immediately afterwards, the crystal coffin was pulled onto the magic circle by this mysterious figure.
Before long, the crystal coffin, which was tightly bound by energy chains, slowly sank into the magic circle as if it had fallen into a swamp.
Six hours later, the crystal coffin door that had been locked inside Lin Xiaoxiao was smashed to pieces by her fist.
One of the broken crystal fragments shattered in the opposite direction, leaving a scar on Lin Xiaoxiao's face, running from her cheek to her earlobe.
Warm blood instantly slid down her face and dripped onto her clothes.
But she didn't bother wiping herself; instead, she stared at her surroundings in astonishment.
The first thing that catches the eye is the countless sculptures, piled up into mountains of all sizes.
These sculptures are entirely gray and look like the individual plaster models of parts that are often used when learning to draw.
It has eyes, a nose, a mouth, internal organs, arms... and all sorts of other parts.
Then there was the gray sky, devoid of any light, as if it were about to rain, with tiny spatial cracks visible from time to time, mixed in with the thick clouds.
Lin Xiaoxiao sensed the energy emanating from the sculpture in front of her, licked her dry lips, her heartbeat quickened uncontrollably, and her voice became somewhat hoarse: "Quan Zhi, it seems we've found the place where the sacrificial limbs of the agents are stored."
Quan Zhi deliberately detached himself from Lin Xiaoxiao's body, solidified his form, and appeared with a very solemn expression: "This should be the place. With this many, it won't be easy to find."
Finding Lin Xiaoxiao's sacrificed right leg among the pile of small hills in front of them is no easy task.
Moreover, we also need to retrieve the 50% of experience points that were sacrificed.
I wonder what form that 50% experience point will take and be stored here.
Lin Xiaoxiao gently brushed her golden right hand across the wound on her face, and with the help of the energy, the wound quickly healed to the point where it was uninjured.
She rolled up her sleeves, straightened her back, and walked towards the sculpture mountain: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's start looking."
There's no use thinking about it so much, just do it. At least find my right leg first.
Quan Zhi seemed to remember something and reminded him in a deep voice, "Release all the Pokémon from the Pokémon Vault and let them help us search."
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded: "Okay."
Before long, more than twenty little elves flew around in this special sculpture mountain, and as Lin Xiaoxiao asked, they first found all the sculptures with right legs.
Within this special space, she was unaware of the passage of time, focusing solely on searching for the limbs she had sacrificed.
Time passed by little by little, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had quickly gone by.
On the walls of Mona City, which had already been built, the defenders on guard saw through their binoculars a large number of strange-looking polluted beasts rushing towards Mona City.
They quickly reported the news, and Kagome and Hoshino rushed to the city wall to look at the 'polluts' that resembled mollusks through their binoculars.
Kagome's expression changed drastically after seeing the shape of the contaminant: "Starry Night, quick, sound the defense alarm and set up the defense according to the previous arrangement."
Upon hearing this, Xingyan immediately pulled out a rocket launcher the size of an arm from his spatial storage and quickly fired it into the sky.
A blue-gold firework burst into bloom in the sky above Mona City five seconds later.
Then, the warning towers in the city sounded a special siren: 'biwu.biwu.biwu…'
Because of this alarm, the entire city of Mona was mobilized without delay. Any professional who heard the alarm, no matter what they were doing, immediately put on their equipment and rushed towards the city gate.
