Chapter 24: Obstacles
I don't want to mention the past, as soon as I think of the clown who jumped off the beam, You Qianjing can't help but have a headache, the team leader is still active in the Huayang branch, this kind of person can climb up, and the degree of the Servant God Division can be seen.
However, Youqian Jing is now on his way to Floaido, the island of the Acolyte Academy, as a freshman.
"Although I know that some laws are useless for the six families, such as the prohibition of minors from using miracles. But you kid is too abusive like this, isn't it, how can you have a 'vain' at a young age?"
After hearing this, You Qianjing raised his hand and twisted the strand of white hair on his head.
The human beings created by the gods lived long enough to be fifty years longer than any other living being. But this is only the base value in the case of low energy consumption, and most people do not live to this age at all.
Because when humans use miracles, they will more or less wear down their original karma, not to mention body repair and reconstruction. Origin karma is derived directly from the nucleus, and is linked everywhere, and the degree of damage is directly reflected in the nucleus.
Once the nucleus is irreparably damaged, the external manifestation of the human body is the graying of the hair, which is called "false whiteness".
You Qianjing's void was the first fusion test, and Hui Liye was so frightened that he thought it was an adverse reaction or that Qianxi had made a mistake, and Qianxi, who was so angry that he grabbed the Skyclave and smashed it into the ice lake.
You Qianjing himself was not uncomfortable, except that he felt that the wisps of white hair were unusually piercing, making him look like a weird rebellious teenager.
The glazed fruit was fused with him in stages, and when it was fully formed in his body, You Qianjing clearly felt its shape.
Unlike the irregular shape of the fingernail of the small thumb that appears as an ordinary nucleus, the final condensed nucleus is half the size of a fist, shaped like a vertebrate and a heart with a weak hand, and has a glazed luster.
One of them is a god, the other is a giant beast of the heavenly veil, and the only person they come into contact with is Siondine, a half-human who is not a human in any sense. Therefore, their speculation about the appearance of void white is only the nucleus fusion and the adverse rejection reaction, but they ignore the basic point of loss of life.
You Qianjing realized, realized that this nucleus might need to be exchanged for his own life, so he silently made a choice, chose to remain silent, and hid this guess in the bottom of his heart.
Because You Qianjing had a hunch that if he told Hui Liye about this guess, the other party would definitely terminate the fusion.
Although they have only met for less than a day, they have actually been together for many years, and this is not the one-way feeling that Hui Liye, who is in a state of light sleep, only has for Youqianjing, and You Qianjing also feels that Huiliye is like his brother.
His two older brothers were also so gentle, protecting him from getting hurt.
But at that time, You Qianjing didn't know that in addition to Xubai, there was another more lethal side effect waiting for him after complete fusion.
But that's all for later.
You Qianjing smiled and laughed at herself: "Is it handsome? This is a man's medal." ”
When Luo Chenglu heard this, he put down his cigarette and took a puff: "Handsome, handsome, a fart! Just if you are still a man, you haven't even seen the little ghost with a weak handicapp! ”
What can I do...... I wanted to get rid of this thing, but the white color grew out immediately after cutting it, and the black color faded immediately.
You Qianjing knew that he was out of kindness, so he didn't say anything more. This burly, dark-skinned, rough man wearing an earthy yellow horse coat with a small pigtail on the back of his head is a warm-hearted, unrestrained and unrestrained Boya, who knew that he was the "little young master" of Huayang You's family, and did not flatter like some people who were cautious, but treated You Qianjing like a friend.
Luo Chenglu saw that You Qianjing didn't squeak, and thought that he had seriously hurt the little boy's self-esteem by talking too much, so he hurriedly changed the topic lamely: "Come on, come on, stinky boy, tell me how much you know about Floaido, the academy island, our caravan has also sent them goods for ten years, I can introduce you in advance, I have a good bottom in my heart." ”
"Hehe, I don't know at all. ”
You Qianjing only knew that the island was the closest place to the "lair" of the Acolyte, and it was also the location of the highest academy in the Abyssal Realm, and only a small number of people with outstanding abilities from the royal families, the six major families, and commoners from each continent were qualified to enter and study there.
The reason why the threshold is so high is because those who graduate from there can directly work in the Shoshen Division and high-level institutions in the mainland, especially the "Shijie" department stationed on Shenlin Island, the headquarters of the Shojin Division, as the chief who stands out from the leaders of each department, and has the opportunity to become one of the "three sages" of the Shoshen Division in the future.
Both of her brothers had studied at Floaido and graduated early two years ago because they skipped a grade. One of them has now taken over the post of Minister of Defense of Youyun Huayang, and the other has become the chief of the six departments of the "Ten Introductions" on Shenlin Island.
When You Qianjing first returned to Huayang, the two happened to be enrolled in school, and only You Yun was left alone in their family of four to face the unfinished affairs that could not be handled. When the three brothers met again, I don't know if they hadn't seen each other for too long or if they were reserved as just adults, these two elder brothers were a little rusty when they faced You Qianjing.
The second brother, who was naturally lively, was okay, and it didn't take long for him to talk and laugh with him as before, but the eldest brother became silent, and sat in the living room with a book in his hand.
You Qianjing thought, maybe the heavy responsibility of the lord is about to fall on him, so he feels pressured for this, after all, the eldest brother is a serious and responsible person, although sometimes he is too serious to appear stubborn.
Anyway, the number and time for the two to go home as adults are getting less and less, and You Qianjing occasionally wants to ask them for some news from the gods.
"I don't know much about you like this, so I'll tell you about it. Luo Chenglu closed the book in his hand, jumped off the fence where he was sitting with a cigarette in his mouth.
You Qianjing saw that the smoke that was swallowed by him was against the wind, not so much entangled as it was more like protecting Luo Chenglu to the ground gently.
Through a previous touch, You Qianjing knew that Luo Chenglu, the captain of this cargo ship and the captain of the second caravan of Boya, had three miracles, hurricanes, smoke and torrential rain.
Although it does not have particularly outstanding offensive and defensive performance, it is extremely practical for the navigator.
You Qianjing took his book from his hand, threw it into the Skyclave very casually, and motioned for Luo Chenglu to speak.
Luo Chenglu was not surprised by the phenomenon that the book disappeared as soon as it was next to You Qianjing's hand, and he knew that there was a treasure called a space bag, which could store things. Although that kind of treasure is extremely rare, and even some big families may not have one or two, it is not surprising to think that this child is from the Huayang You family.
It's just that he didn't know that what You Qianjing had in his hand was not a small space bag, but the heart of the last space giant beast in the age of gods, and the divine consciousness of that heavenly curtain giant beast was still listening to them inside.
"Where does this start?" Luo Chenglu took a puff of his cigarette, "Now this Floaido was built as a transfer point for the database after the outbreak of the second 'Rebellion of the Thieves', it was originally not called that, but called Sarata, which belonged to the Brahma, and the island of Shenlin was originally an unnamed island in the far north. ”
"You know, it is written in the official history that there were two 'rebel rebellions' that shocked the entire Abyss in the Southern Islands, and in the first chaos, the Acolyre captured the leader of the rebellion, Siondine the Bard, and executed him in public. ”
The Skyclave on Youqianjing's wrist shook for a moment, and he reached out to soothe.
Oh, look, this is the so-called "canonical history", history written by the winners.
"As for the rebellion that broke out again a hundred years later, it can only be said that the Gods-Servant was too careless, and asked people to take advantage of the loophole, lose the territory of the Southern Islands, and be forced to transfer. Now that the South Islands have become the stronghold of that organization, I heard that they have laid a barrier in the surrounding waters, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and even paralyzed the sea routes connecting the north and south of Boya. ”
This Youqian Jing knows a little bit, Hui Liye asked him to find the two organizations founded by Siondine, and now occupies the Southern Islands, the dark track is one of them.
Of course, he couldn't be stupid enough to go to the South Islands by himself, not to mention the obstacle, the Overseer was still hiding in the shadows, and now jumping out was simply sending him to death.
So You Qianjing's plan is to find the members of the dark track who are out and about, but he doesn't know if he will be regarded as mentally retarded if he says, "Let's go save your boss" as soon as they meet.
"Seven or eight hundred years have passed since the founding of Floaido, and the southernmost part of the island occupies one-fifth of the total area, and the northern exclusion zone occupies one-half. Don't think that this one-fifth of the area is small, make a comparison, it's about the same as your imperial capital in Huayang. This city is divided into upper, middle and lower parts, the lower city is a free trade business area, and outsiders like us can also come and go freely, but from the middle town onwards, it is not a residential area for you students, and it is the smallest of the three urban districts. ”
"The last upper city is the place of teaching, although I have not been in, but the three urban districts are built according to the steps, plus the buildings in the upper city are extremely high, especially the central castle in the teaching area and the magic bell tower in front of the castle, which can be seen on the high-rise buildings in the northernmost part of the lower city. ”
As soon as he talked about the Phantom Clock Tower, Luo Chenglu's eyes lit up, and he felt like a thief seeing gold.
"Phantom Bell Tower! Phantom Bell Tower knows! It's the Phantom Clock Tower that carved forty-eight roulette wheels out of 43,200 karmic stones, and there was once an illusionist who claimed to be the 'strongest in the abyssal realm' who set up an unbreakable illusion in it! I heard people say that this illusion is to protect a mysterious treasure, absolutely, what can be more precious than 43,200 karma stones?"
The karmic stones that Luo Chenglu said are the most important and precious resources in the abyss realm, and they come from the natural condensation of the flowing karma between heaven and earth, as well as from the void barrier body.
This has to mention the product of chaos, the mortal enemy of mankind - the void barrier.
Void obstacles eat people, it requires the abundant karma in the human body, and people kill the void obstacles, in addition to the karmic stones in their bodies in order to survive. The stones are made from relics of the devoured after death, and after purification, they can be transformed into excellent power sources or tools, which are necessary for the manufacture of treasures and karmic weapons.
Using the sacrifice of fellow citizens as the cornerstone of progress is a daunting but very much in line with the human way of life.
Before he entered Tiga, he only knew about this creature from Siondine's "Records of Practice", and he had also seen various picture books, which depicted a variety of strange images.
He had thought it was only because the writers were using their own preferred artistic expressions, and it wasn't until he confronted the creatures himself that they really looked different.
They are small enough to resemble dust, mixed with the air they breathe every day, and so large that they can cover the sky and the sun, and can trample hundreds of people to pieces with one foot.
The gods had destroyed the body of the Chaos Void, but the source of its power had penetrated into the other side of the Abyss, the Endless Realm, a realm that the gods could not enter, let alone humans. Just as the gods created humanity, the battered origins of Chaos Nothingness disintegrated into void barriers, which it tried to use to nibble away at the Abyss to restore itself.
Unlike human beings, who have bodies shaped by the World Tree, the void created by Chaos has no form of its own in the Infinite Realm, they are simply sleeping consciousness bodies inside, and the only way to enter this world is to find a medium and establish a connection.
Once a link is established with the present world, the void will awaken from the endless realm, enter the present world through the link, and obtain the physical body that resides in this life. Unlike human beings, who are condensed by pure karma, the bodies of the void are flesh and blood, and like many living beings, they have flesh and blood and have extremely poor regenerative abilities, and the flesh and blood are difficult to dissolve after death.
The so-called medium is the existence of karma to the existence of the virtual obstacle, so in addition to human beings, as long as there is an opportunity, even a single plant or tree can establish a link for the virtual obstacle. Once the obstacle is present, it no longer needs the original medium, and it can survive by constantly devouring humans.
The medium determines the strength of the void barrier, and the Servant Division divides the void barrier from weak to strong into eight levels: Wandering Dust, Glow, Transformation, Seedling, Calamity, Filthy Ember, Desolate, and Cause, and the last four levels have the intensity division of "Pillar Star".
The pillar star refers to the amount of blood released by a substance called shoji jade in the body of the void barrier.
Because the core condensed by the World Tree for humanity is the supreme purity, and the darkest blood from the Endless Realm has a corrosive effect on it, and even the slightest touch of it may result in an instant death. Therefore, for human beings, the blood of the void barrier is highly poisonous, and the shoji jade, which is the center of blood supply, is simply a ticket to the place of death.
Void obstacle is such an existence, so it is extremely dangerous and difficult to obtain karmic stones, not to mention that this resource is still under the control of the Servant Division, and ordinary people like Luo Chenglu can only buy it from those "retail" karmic hunters if they want to obtain it.
You Qianjing once asked Hui Liye if the Overseer was the Chaos Nothingness in the Endless Realm.
The Celestial Night in the Skyclave was silent for a long time before finally giving him a negative answer.
For the first time, the young man couldn't figure it out, not even the biggest threat to the Abyss Realm, what was that thing.
