Chapter 219
From the moment the little deep-sea tribe member was 'appointed' as the Sea God, the gears of fate began to turn.
Although, the rotation method might be a bit weird...
Ye Bai: "No name? Then I'll give you a more resounding name. Hmm... let's call you Kraken! You'll grow into a mythical beast!"
The Kraken, now named: "Ooooh! Eat, eat, eat, and turn into a giant beast!"
When Ye Bai first heard Nao say that Kraken was a big eater, he didn't take it seriously and touched her wet head with a doting look on his face.
How much can she eat? Ottophis is also a big eater. She was fed with handfuls of bread. Such a cute little mermaid, it’s okay to raise her as a daughter.
In the gaming world, being strong is only temporary, but looking good is more important!
Ye Bai was just trying out the 'Artificial Cultivation of Poseidon Project', without any belief that it would succeed.
Moreover, the birth of the king of the deep sea is similar to purgatory. Although it is not as chaotic and warlike as purgatory, it is also a process where big fish eat small fish to determine the strongest king. Being able to eat is also a manifestation of potential.
So Ye Bai, who transformed himself into a fisherman, continued his efforts and began the "artificial cultivation" of the sea god.
Feeding the Kraken was especially satisfying. Whether it was vegetables and fruits, fish and animal meat, or the unlimited amount of bread from Ye Bai's backpack, whether raw or cooked, the Kraken accepted everything and every time the food tasted incredibly delicious. In comparison, Ottophis, who had his own preferences, seemed picky.
However, it seems that because Kraken knows how to "appreciate" bread, the relationship between Ottophis and her seems to be much more harmonious than that with Nao.
Although Nao tried to teach Kraken some of the ocean magic he learned from observing the deep sea, and Ottophis also invited Kraken to fight to hone his combat skills, they both gained little.
As a big foodie, the biggest temptation for Kraken is food. Among all the ways, the strength improvement she gets through food is also the greatest.
With the modified fishing artifact in his hand, Ye Bai thought that at worst he could just pile up the numbers.
Until, as time went on, she found that her daily fishing goals were changing, and her mindset was changing with them.
Take it easy for the first three days.
Three to six days, slightly challenging.
Six to nine days, super high intensity.
Nine days later...I'm not strong enough.
At this time, the Kraken's appearance has grown a little compared to the beginning, and its body has grown much larger than it did at the beginning - as a deep-sea creature, it has two forms on land and in water. It is complete only in water, with its body size increasing and its various abilities greatly improved. On land, it is the opposite.
Realizing that something was wrong, Ye Bai thought for a moment and threw the Kraken into the water.
"Go and become stronger through battle, Kraken!"
“Clatter…”
The Kraken, who was thrown into the water, was a little confused at first about what "battle" meant, but soon she discovered the presence of various foods in the water.
The next moment, in the shocked gaze of Ye Bai and others, the Kraken suddenly stretched and grew larger like a soaked sponge. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a giant red octopus as big as a small ship.
Without any instruction, he flapped his tentacles and swept towards various high-level deep-sea fish: "Eat, eat, eat, and become stronger!"
Seeing this, Ye Bai sighed: "Sure enough, the name was not wrong..."
Children always grow up. After Ye Bai fed Kraken with high-quality fish meat for a period of time, its level has exceeded 60, and it will have no problem becoming the overlord of this sea area.
Seeing this situation, she felt relieved. With Kraken's current strength, it should not be a problem for him to operate in this sea area.
So, after having Nao leave a tracking mark on the Kraken to prevent it from being lost, Ye Bai and his group left the deep sea and once again embarked on the "journey to becoming a king" that had been started by accident.
After leaving the deep sea, in the process of searching for purgatory, they first went to the sky city which already had a prototype.
This is what Ottophis thought -
'I will become the king of dragons.'
The dragon's big golden eyes sparkled with unprecedented seriousness, and through spiritual communication, it conveyed this will to Ye Bai.
As an ancient dragon with unique advantages in this game world, Orthophis has grown to nearly level 100 without realizing it by eating and drinking along the way, touching the threshold of the god level.
Although it is far from the adult stage of the ancient dragon in terms of age, don't forget that the other dragons in this world were born not long ago, and all the dragons in the dragon clan are "juvenile dragons", without a single adult dragon.
There is some kind of subtle telepathy between the ancient dragon tribes, and Ottophis knows that he is the strongest dragon.
The Sky City naturally did not welcome Ye Bai and Nao, two foreign tribes. However, Ottophis brought a crushing attitude with absolute power. After defeating the strongest dragons, the dragon clan finally recognized its identity as the king.
After all, whether it is the innate mastery of the law of power, or the subsequent growth stage, the massive amount of advanced resources obtained by Ottophis, the experience shared in fighting with Ye Bai, and the knowledge taught by Nao, all make it much stronger than other dragons that grew in the wild.
Not only among the same race, even strong people from other races can gain the recognition of the dragon if they have enough strength.
However, in terms of individual strength, there are very few creatures that can reach the level recognized by the dragons.
"Boom..."
Deep in the scorching earth, magma erupts from time to time, illuminating the surroundings in a fiery red.
"This place has developed into this..." Nao looked around. He had accidentally entered this area when he was forcibly summoned by Ye Bai using the "Root Magic". He used space magic to escape.
It was just that the core of Purgatory had just begun to evolve at that time. Now it has expanded to a very large scale, becoming an independent space with nine layers nested in layers, and the core of Purgatory is at the deepest part.
The magma is burning, but under the endless power of chaos, a large number of unique purgatory creatures are born from it. They do not have the larval stage that other races have, and are in adult state from birth.
The chaotic nature is engraved in the souls of Purgatory creatures, causing them to hunt from birth, becoming stronger or dying in battle.
The entire ecosystem of Purgatory is like an arena or a breeding ground for poisonous insects. Except for a very small number of special individuals, the creatures in Purgatory have been fighting since they were born. The winners transform into stronger Purgatory creatures, and the losers turn into nutrients and die. At the same time, a steady stream of new creatures are born from the magma.
Therefore, when facing the creatures of Purgatory, other gentle means will not work. The only way is to conquer them. Even after conquering them, you need to pay attention to suppressing them all the time.
"It's a good time to level up here."
Nao and Ottophis have already stepped onto the threshold of becoming gods, but Ye Bai is only in his seventies, still a long way from becoming a demigod.
Of course, with the 'Root Magic' and the newly mastered time ability, her actual combat power is far more than the third level, but she is more curious about whether her time ability can undergo a new transformation after her rank is upgraded.
The experience points required to level up become more and more staggering. If Ye Bai can clear all nine levels of Purgatory, his level can barely reach over ninety.
Originally, both Nao and Ye Bai thought that in Purgatory, the previous plan of 'raising the God King from a young age' would not work.
It was not until he had defeated all the common monsters in the first level of Purgatory that Ye Bai defeated a Purgatory Lord named Walsh in a single challenge.
Seeing the other party's health bar empty, he suddenly seemed to explode with energy, laughing wildly and saying harshly to Ye Bai:
"Hahahaha... I'm immortal!"
Then, the other party disappeared in a burst of flames, leaving behind a teleportation array leading to the lower level.
"I felt a little subtle soul fluctuation." Nao walked forward, looked at the place where the flame disappeared, and whispered to Ye Bai.
Nao and Ottophis did not participate in the battle in Purgatory because Ye Bai needed to level up, and their help would take away experience. She was no longer as good at fighting as before, and was able to handle the battle alone.
Ye Bai nodded after hearing this, thinking that the experience gained from the kill was normal, but this 'special death CG' was obviously not ordinary.
Judging from the appearance, Walsh's true form is a mutated fire demon. After becoming the lord of this level, his strength has increased a lot compared to the beginning, that is to say, he has transformed from the original elite template into a BOSS template.
However, during the battle, Ye Bai did not discover that the opponent had several directions that a mutated fire demon would have. It was as if he was killing an ordinary fire demon lord.
Seeing this scene, after thinking for a moment, her eyes lit up and she found a mutation direction from the setting of the Purgatory Biological Clock - [Rebirth from Ashes].
The direction where the last flame disappeared was obviously the teleportation array leading to the next level left behind after the death of the Lord of Purgatory.
Thinking of this, Ye Bai's expression couldn't help but become a little strange.
It seems that the plan that was started when I was little might be realized in purgatory...
He turned around and looked at Nao, and sure enough, he read the same meaning from the other person's expression.
Thinking of this, even though he still had strength left, Ye Bai temporarily slowed down the pace of the battle. He did not continue to conquer the second level of purgatory. Instead, he entered, recorded the coordinates, and then teleported back to the deep-sea island.
From a distance, the isolated island seemed to be the same. The three fishing sets that were not taken away because they took up the backpack were still left on the island. However, upon closer inspection, it was found that the originally abundant fish resources near the island had disappeared. Even if Ye Bai tried to fish again, with the blessing of top fishing skills, he could only catch one or two small fish.
What else is there to say? Of course, during the time they were away, Kraken had eaten up all the fish in the surrounding sea.
"So where did the Kraken go?"
As he spoke, Ye Bai naturally looked at Nao. He left a mark on Kraken when he left.
"She..." Nao was about to answer with a strange expression, and then the next moment Ye Bai felt the 'island' under his feet vibrate violently.
"Could it be—"
As soon as an idea came into being, it was immediately verified.
“Clatter…”
As the ground shook and the sea surged, huge red tentacles emerged from the sea not far away.
"Master! Kraken! Big!"
After more than a month of absence, the Kraken, which was originally a giant octopus, has grown into a terrifying sea monster. The island under its feet is no longer the previous one, but the body of the Kraken.
The reason why it still looks like an island is that only the surface of the entire island remains, but in fact more of the foundation underneath has disappeared.
As for the reason for its disappearance, there is no doubt that it was eaten by the Kraken, which accepts all comers.
Not to mention Ye Bai, even Nao and Ottophis didn't expect to see this scene when they returned.
Nao was the first to come back to his senses, and looked at Ye Bai with admiration: "It turns out that her digestive talent is so powerful. I underestimated her at the beginning."
Ye Bai: "..." In fact, she has always been proud of her looks.
Kraken's digestive ability is amazing. When she is extremely hungry, she will eat anything except sea water and air. Of course, when she has a choice, her favorite is still [food].
Along with the sound of water, a tentacle stretched out towards Ye Bai and the others.
The top of the tentacle changed and became the upper body of a familiar red-haired little girl.
Ye Bai's mouth twitched at this embarrassing scene, and then she asked, "Kraken, why did you eat the island?"
Hearing this, Kraken showed a look of grievance: "Waiting for the master... hungry!"
Seeing this scene, Ye Bai could see that the Kraken had eaten all the fish in the surrounding sea area. He was afraid that he would not be able to find him if he went too far, and he was too hungry to bear it, so he ate this island as well.
There was still a layer of island surface left on her head, and that was because Ye Bai's three-piece fishing set was left on it, and she knew she couldn't eat it.
"……I see."
Ye Bai reached out and touched the head of the 'little' Kraken. This guy was very well behaved and he was also a big eater.
At this time, Kraken was already level 83, which was higher than her current level.
At this stage, we no longer have to worry about the Kraken being eaten by deep-sea monsters like before, but we have to worry about how to feed this big eater.
Kraken hunger essentially requires filling up with effective energy, and there are beings in the game that have infinite energy... If you think about it carefully, there are some -
It is the law of purgatory that constantly generates chaos.
"Isn't this a coincidence?"
Ye Bai clapped his hands and knew how to feed the Kraken and suppress Purgatory.
"Why is it you again?!"
In the Lord's Cave on the second floor of Purgatory, Walsh let out an incredible roar when he saw the familiar combination of two people and one dragon.
The dead mutated Fire Demon Lord Walsh triggered his own mutated talent [Rise from Ashes] after his death, and was resurrected from the magma on the second layer of Purgatory with his original soul.
After his resurrection, his level dropped, but his life essence underwent a new evolution, gradually evolving from his former body of fire to a more advanced body of demon.
It has to be said that Walsh, who possesses this mutant talent, is destined to be no ordinary person in Purgatory.
After his rebirth, he immediately became active in the second layer. Through continuous hunting and devouring, he experienced numerous dangers, defeated his opponents, and once again became the lord of the second layer of Purgatory.
As a result, not long after reaching the top, Ye Bai, who had returned from the deep sea, came over to kill him.
Walsh was surprised at first, then delighted: "Good timing! This time I will destroy your soul without leaving a trace!"
Ye Bai also laughed after hearing this: "Okay, okay."
After the battle...
Walsh turned into flames and disappeared again: "You, you wait!"
Walsh, who escaped to the third level, was resurrected and evolved again. When he recovered and gained strength again, he would become a powerful lord again.
After this death, he paid special attention to observing his surroundings carefully, being wary of Ye Bai continuing to catch up.
Unfortunately, his seductive glance was seen by the blind man. After killing him, Ye Bai and his group turned around and left, leaving time for him to "develop".
For the naturally rebellious creatures of Purgatory, it was obviously impossible to raise a Purgatory Demon from infancy. However, there was another way: to subdue the future Purgatory Demon from the infancy stage...
Walsh's journey back to the top was truly epic, enough to write a whole story about the God of Purgatory. It was a pity that every time he became a lord, he would be killed again by Ye Bai who suddenly appeared not long after.
When Ye Bai still defeated him on the ninth floor, even the naturally rebellious Purgatory Demon finally gave in...
At the same time, while Walsh was growing up, Ye Bai was not idle either. She went to the center of the already formed continent to look for the weakest individual and the last top race to be born - the light human race.
Today, on the continent of the God Realm, other races have already established their own territories and activity areas. Only the human race, which was born the latest, is still competing with other ordinary races in the God Realm for survival space. At the same time, the human race is also competing with each other for the throne of the tribe.
In this process, the human race, which was born last and had the weakest individual talents, also began to show its hidden potential as one of the top ethnic groups.
When the strong among humans break through their limits and gain the recognition of a large number of human beliefs and wills, they will become special "heroes".
Heroes can break through the upper limits of demigods and gods, and with the blessing of faith and will, their strength progresses faster than all other top races.
More importantly, only by becoming a hero can one be qualified to become the king of the human race.
Ye Bai joined in the chaos. After all, her identity as an 'administrator' could not be changed, and she could not transform into other top races like the players. Even though she did not belong to the human race in essence, she undoubtedly looked the closest.
Thus, amidst the turmoil of the human race, a hero who is suspected of possessing the power of time gradually emerged. She was supported not by slave owners, nobles or knights, but by the most ordinary and weak humans, free people and slaves.
Compared to several other heroic factions that boast numerous powerful individuals, the hero known as 'Eternal Glory' by their supporters relies solely on absolute personal strength, and is considered by many wise men to be the first force to lose in the battle for the throne.
However, when the true battle to determine the throne began, portals from different places opened behind the hero who seemed to be "unable to hold on alone" -
The Void Spirits constructed a war web, ancient dragons soared through the sky, armies of elven hunters emerged from the Emerald Forest, terrifying tentacles danced through the portal connecting to the deep sea, and infernal creatures, born with a love of war, roared out in excitement...
"How can we fight this?!"
The other human heroes who were coming in full force were dumbfounded. It was obvious that there was no way to fight.
At this point, there is no doubt that Ye Bai has become the king of the human race, and the last piece of the puzzle supporting the throne of the God King has also been assembled.
Normally one has to become the king of one's own tribe before embarking on the path to becoming a God-King, but Ye Bai is the opposite.
And it succeeded...
The moment he stepped onto the throne that appeared in the void and symbolized the supremacy of the divine world, Ye Bai's expression suddenly became subtle.
"Wang, what's wrong?" Nao asked from the side.
Along the way, even Ottophis had briefly returned to the dragon clan, but he was the only one who had always been by Ye Bai's side. Relying on the special spiritual connection between the spirits, it can be said that he was free of worldly concerns and naturally completed the path to becoming a king.
After all, the Void Spirits value knowledge, and as the most knowledgeable being in the entire tribe, Nao is the natural choice for the King of the Void Spirits.
After a brief moment of shock, Ye Bai looked at the game console that appeared in his mind and smiled:
“I found what I had been looking for.”
Nao was lost in thought. Seeing that she didn't continue, he asked, "The magic circle diagram of the movable castle in the sky you mentioned has been designed. Do you want to name this city?"
"Ah?" Ye Bai immediately gave him a questioning look.
Nao held his forehead, thought for a moment, and said, "Considering your title, why not call it 'Eternal City'?"
Ye Bai: "Okay, okay!" If she were to come and pick it up, it would most likely be called White Night City.
Eternal radiance spread across the divine realm until the Great Annihilation threatened it all.
Ye Bai, who originally planned to delete his account and start over, was unaware of the twists and turns in the process. When he opened his eyes again, he saw a new female human who had returned to Blue Star after ten thousand years.
"Hello, I am from the Blue Star Council..."
Sorry, I'm already finished with the story, so I couldn't help but keep procrastinating. I still have two chapters or one postscript to write! I will definitely finish it this week!
