Searching for "Jiang Yuanshi" (12)
The round table, without its support, became an altar. A cross was erected on top of the table, and someone was tied to it, with his neck, hands, and feet bound with chains like a living thing.
The man, still wearing his high school uniform, had his eyes closed as if he were still asleep, completely unaware of the pain as his hands were cut and bleeding.
The blood from the wrist poured onto the round table like a stream of water, filling up the concave marks on the round table bit by bit to form a complete magic circle. On the magic circle, twelve eyes were outlined on the outer circle. The blood flowed, and the concave eyes were painted scarlet one by one. After the twelve eyes opened, the red pupils in the eyes overflowed with red and began to flow inward, forming the outline of the eye in the center. The scarlet overflowed again, spread, and merged into the concave round pit in the center of the eye socket. The scarlet climbed up the cross standing in it.
When the scarlet climbs to the top of the cross and forms the most perfect circle at the spire, the real blood of God will appear again.
This is a long-awaited plan to kill gods. After the blood of this hybrid god is completely purified, they will share it and then they will gain greater power and a longer lifespan.
The main gods sat on the chairs where they held every round table meeting, watching the process of the birth of the divine blood. They leisurely shook the wine glasses in their hands, and the red liquid inside was rolling, which was much more exciting than the calm and tasteless but worth looking forward to ceremony.
Ever since the true god disappeared, the Book Club has not had a good time doing whatever it wants because they left behind "order" to supervise it. They have been waiting for a turnaround, and finally the order disappeared. Just when they thought they could take power, uninvited guests appeared.
Ysl404, a half-human, half-god creature that suddenly appeared, tripped them up again. No one could have imagined that a true god would give birth to a life with a human being, and even that this life was born with divine power and status. As long as 404 was there, they would never be able to become dominant. While they felt humiliated by being restricted by a kid who only had a little bit of true god blood, they thought of a great idea, which was to draw out the kid's blood, remove impurities, and extract the purest divine blood.
If their original bodies could not bear all the divine blood, how could they compliment each other like they do now?
"I never thought we'd actually waited this long. It's been... so long. How long has it been?"
"I don't remember, hundreds or thousands of system hours, the power left by this true god is really getting weaker and weaker, but fortunately, it's not too late. Although this kid is a bastard, it seems that he has more divine blood than I expected. I thought it was only as much as dust."
"Haha, having so much divine blood but not knowing how to use it is truly a waste. We're dividing it up to relieve the sorrow of the deceased true god. That bastard has to go to the human world every day to learn anything anyway, so why not turn him into a human completely?"
"Yeah...but if the true God is still alive, will he find out and punish me?"
"Alas—we didn't kill him. We just made him a true human, which is what true gods dream of. Unfortunately, in the end, he couldn't get it and even lost himself. It's just like the grudges and wishes now. It's a pity. That human was so troublesome. He struggled with Z01 for a long time, but in the end, there was really no wish power left. It's such a pity."
"Yes, but it is also in the plan. Once we divide the divine blood and become stronger, we can limit the birth of resentment. Then we can take the wish. We still have so many systems working under us, which is enough."
"To be on the safe side, I think we should work together to impose a ban so that the resentment will never take shape. Otherwise, all the efforts of so many systems will be in vain. We finally managed to separate the 'order', and now it's completely eliminated. It's really... too long. I have to live a little longer to make it worthwhile."
"Yes, but we agreed to split the divine blood equally. Don't be too greedy, or you might explode and dissipate."
"Hahahahaha, of course, come on! Cheers! Let's celebrate everyone's success in advance!"
"cheers!"
The wine glasses of the main gods collided with each other, making a crisp sound. The liquid in the cup splashed out due to the force of the collision, like waves hitting the shore, splashing water everywhere.
[Beep——]
"Did you hear any noise?"
"Why does the system prompt sound appear here?"
"What are those systems for? Have all the bugs spread to the main god space?"
Wait, that’s not right. The main god space was left by the true God. It will never be affected and will never go wrong.
There is a problem!
Another warning sound was heard, and after this [beep], a crack appeared above the cross.
The crack opened wide, and the white hole seemed to have something lurking inside.
“Tick-tock.”
The last drop of divine blood climbed up the cross, and the blood at the top formed a complete ball.
None of the main gods spoke at this moment, and they all attacked together. Their original leisure was just a cover for their constant watch.
The divine blood was removed, but the process was unexpectedly slow, as if resisting their power and contact. The moment the gods touched the divine blood, everything slowed down. What was going on?
[Beep—Speed reduction card used successfully]
As the sudden prompt sounded, a bunch of messy things flew out of the crack, red and blue, and rushed uncontrollably towards the location of the divine blood.
"Bang--!"
The divine blood was dispersed, no, it was swallowed up.
You can even see the complete divine blood in the body through that thing.
The ball fell to the ground, bouncing in front of them with great elasticity. When it finally came to a stop, they could only hear it making a "yue" sound and then saying, "What the hell, I paid for the function card but can't use it? The Chuanshu Bookstore should go bankrupt soon. I'm so dizzy, yue."
As Yue spit out his words, another deep voice sounded, and Zhenzhen was still analyzing carefully: "According to the test, the speed in the tunnel was exceeded. It's normal to feel dizzy."
"Luckily I didn't eat, otherwise I would have vomited inside. Does this count as vomiting into my own mouth?"
"...Then there's mine..."
"...Thinking about it, it suddenly makes me feel even more disgusted. Oh, by the way, where is this?"
The unidentified creature twisted its body and stood up with its four pointed tips pointing in different directions. It opened a pair of crooked and asymmetrical eyes, and narrowed its blue eyes. There was a table engraved with some kind of contract formation with blood as the covenant. There was a cross in the middle, and a pale person was tied to the cross. The wounds on both wrists were very deep, and the white bones could be seen from the angle of the blue eyes.
At the same time, Red Eyes said politely, "Long time no see, Lord Gods. Sorry for disturbing you."
The main gods?
Blue Eyes tried hard to twist himself to the position of Red Eyes and take a look.
Wow, eleven wizards are opening champagne here?
Each one is thin and long, and arranged neatly, like a signal.
The most conspicuous person inside was a wizard with a long beard: "You... could it be? This is impossible!"
The other party spoke very slowly, as if at 0.1x speed.
It turns out that this is where he spent his deceleration card.
Just when Jiang Yuanshi had just reacted, the prompt of the deceleration card failure sounded, and the main gods who had recovered quickly attacked them. The mass of things was like a bouncy ball, running around in the space, and it seemed that it could not control itself. The wine glasses, chairs, decorations, etc. in the main god's space were knocked to the ground, and the scene was in a mess. The main gods simply covered the space into a net, and then caught the mass of things.
The red and blue colors in the body of that thing are intertwined, devouring and multiplying, endlessly, and constantly making creepy bubbling and chewing sounds. Is this "wish" and "grudge"?
"This is impossible. They can't be alive! Even if they were alive, we would be able to sense them!" Longbeard said, and suddenly seemed to think of something, "Unless..."
A main god continued, "Unless the wishes and grudges begin to merge, then... we really can't sense it."
The tone seemed calm, but it revealed a fear that was not easily detected.
"Quick! Separate them before they completely fuse!"
"If we forcefully separate them, we cannot guarantee the integrity of the divine blood."
"Why would you still care about divine blood at this point? If 'Order' appears again, even divine blood will be meaningless!"
The main gods watched as the group of things devoured and reproduced each other, and the speed of entanglement in their bodies became faster and faster, but the divine blood inside did not move at all and remained intact.
Just when the main gods were divided on their opinions, a main god with a black hood suggested, "Since that's the case, why not work harder and help them fuse their divine blood."
"Are you crazy?"
"No, but don't forget, order is the power of the true God, but there is also a human among them. Even if they are lucky enough to carry the power of the will, can the human body really withstand the power of the God?"
Yes, as long as there are impurities, it is not considered the original source of order, and then there will be opportunities to take advantage of it. Even the main god can only withstand a little of the power of the true god, let alone humans.
This is the most united and fair approach at the moment.
The main gods had no objection. Not only did they work together to speed up the fusion of the mass, they also mobilized the divine power in their bodies to guide the divine blood in the other party's body to operate.
The red and blue began to collide madly, and the divine blood in the body gradually expanded. The body grew larger and larger, filling half of the space and swallowing up the cross and altar, along with 404's body and blood.
That's 404's human blood, which makes it even more unclean.
"Bang------!"
After a huge explosion, red and blue things were blown everywhere, and the divine blood disappeared.
The main gods shook off the tissue on the protective shield.
Everything ended so suddenly.
The main god space was polluted and the tragedy needed to be cleaned up. Although the divine blood was gone, at least that thing did not appear.
The main gods withdrew from the space, and white flames ignited in the space.
That is the fire that sweeps away everything.
Soon, the white color retreated and everything returned to calm.
He sighed repeatedly, sighing for the failure of his years of waiting, and also feeling grateful for having survived the disaster.
They don't want to live in confinement again even more than the blood of God.
"Fortunately, even without divine blood, as long as there is no order and the true god is gone, we are still the masters of the Bookstore."
"Yeah, let's disperse... Ugh!"
Just as the bearded man finished speaking, he was stabbed through. He looked at the remaining ten gods in disbelief and said with difficulty, "You..."
"I'm sorry, A0001. Without the divine blood, you're the only strongest left here. We don't have as much divine power as you, so we won't live much longer. Since you've lived this long anyway, why not help the younger generation? Don't worry, you'll be the most worthy god to be remembered after the true gods."
The long-bearded man was already speechless. He didn't know what means those main gods used, but it seemed like they had a plan in advance to quickly devour him.
The black robe fell to the ground, empty.
The gods withdrew their hands, looked at each other, and kept a certain distance.
"It's a pity there's no divine blood. A0001 would have been even more powerful if it had divine blood. But it's okay. There's no risk in taking action this way."
The black hooded man said, "Two gods have been lost in one day. This is a major event. The main god space just experienced an ambush by a villain today. Why not choose a new god tomorrow?"
Everyone looked at each other, reached a consensus, and the gods left the main god space together and dispersed.
But the meeting to select the new god has not been held yet, and the systems, unaware of the situation, are still working overtime endlessly. Recently, there is more and more work to do, and it is impossible to finish it. Everyone whispers from time to time. Since Z01 is gone, the main gods seem to be determined to train them to become Z01, but not all systems are Z01. Systems are living things. They have their own thoughts and their own entertainment life. There are even many systems that are transformed by the wishes of the hosts who completed the tasks, and there are also alien creatures who signed contracts to become systems after death.
Everyone has different ideas, and few are workaholics like Z01.
For a time, the Chuan Shu Bureau was full of complaints, and more and more systems complained every day. Everyone prayed and wished for a break every day. Some systems even wished that if there was a bug in the Chuan Shu Bureau that would shut down several systems, or if the signal was poor, at least they could slack off.
Maybe their desires were too strong, and suddenly one day, the bookstore really had a bug.
At first, it was just a poor signal, and communication was lost. Everyone had experienced this before, so they were used to it. The Lord God didn't care and didn't pay any attention. But gradually, the bugs in the Book Transmigration Bureau became more and more serious. Some worlds stopped running and were in a suspended state. Some worlds deviated from their course, and the characters no longer followed the script. Some worlds originally only had a few scenes, but the budget suddenly increased dramatically, and new streets and creatures appeared in the blank space...
It's a mess.
The systems kept reporting but no one from the Lord responded. The maintenance department and the operations department in charge of the operation were disconnected from the beginning and could not be repaired at all, so they had to stop working.
For a while the systems stopped working.
This is really... great!!!
The systems began to cheer.
Just when everyone was cheering, the main gods appeared again and began to criticize the system for being irresponsible.
In the past, the systems would have admitted their mistakes honestly, but now that he was working non-stop, he was no longer obedient. A system whispered to the Lord God that he was idle and indifferent, but was heard by the Lord God. He was brought to the Lord God and asked to repeat himself in front of all the systems and the Lord God.
The system, already overcome by resentment from its work, ignored its own mortality and shouted, "I say the Lord God is idle and reaps the fruits of others' labor. He's unfit to be a leader!"
"court death!"
The moment the main gods were about to punish him, a prompt sounded in the system hall:
[Beep, beep, beep—!]
[A new task is now being issued. Find me within 6 system hours. There will be rewards for finding me, and no punishment for not finding me. Of course, this does not apply to the main gods.]
Systems and main gods:?
When everyone was stunned, the prompt voice suddenly said:
Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention who I am. Sorry, hello everyone, my name is Jiang Yuanshi, remember to come find me. Also, if you find the system, you'll get a big vacation package, and if you don't find it, you can still take a break, it's just a matter of how long. Oh, and if you find it, you'll also get a new skin. Just treat it like a game, and if you don't want to play, you can take a break now. You're welcome to participate, except for the main gods, of course.
The Lords: ...
[How about you publish it? I'm not familiar with this business.]
How did you start chatting? Who are you chatting with?
A voice familiar to the systems sounded:
【OK. 】
Is that... Z01?
[Hello everyone at the Chuanshushu, now issuing a mission: Find "Jiang Yuanshi", limited to 6 system hours.]
Jiang Yuanshi: [Okay, now, the game begins.]
