Chapter 848: Eternal Grass
"Have you recorded my state after I was integrated into the rules of death?"
Zhang Cheng didn't pay attention to the corpse of the giant snake, let alone rush to break the seal, but was more concerned about what happened in just a few seconds.
Because after fully integrating into the rules of death, he suddenly lost himself and couldn't even remember what he had done.
As a person with an extremely determined mind, this state of loss of control is obviously not normal.
The Supreme Authority clearly hesitated, and replied in a slightly worried tone, "I'm sorry, master, but I really can't describe what you just looked like. In a way, you are a soulless caster, even if only for a moment, but death takes over your body, mind, and soul. ”
"You mean...... Am I affected by death?" Zhang Cheng's face became a little ugly.
"No! It's not an impact! It's a replacement! When you merge into death, death replaces you, so that you can use the power of death to effortlessly kill an ancient snake that has eaten the grass of eternal life and lived for more than 6,000 years. The Supreme Authority was quick to make a correction.
No wonder Faust's mental state has never been quite right. It turns out that the real price of using the power of death is not that I used to think that I would gain the favor of death through sacrifice, but that I will inevitably be affected by death in the process of using it, and eventually gradually lose myself. Winning the favor of death is not so much a price as a way to increase power. Only the more you win the favor of death, the stronger the power of the rules you can mobilize......" Zhang Cheng's eyes flashed with a strange light, touching his chin and muttering to himself.
"So, you think death is a self-aware force that constantly affects every mortal who tries to control itself?" concluded the Supreme Authority slightly.
Zhang Cheng nodded first, then quickly shook his head: "I don't know! I only know that when I use this power, I am not self-aware, just like a computer that is controlled remotely, and the other party will deprive me of the life of setting a goal according to the decisions I made when I was awake." ”
"I see! What just happened was that death manipulated you, not you. ”
Death is, without a doubt, the strangest and most difficult to tame and control of all the forces I have ever encountered. It can be used to turn the tide at crucial moments by making a hole card, but it must not be used regularly on a regular basis. At least until I figure out what these anomalies are all about, I can use them as little as I can. ”
For forces that are not controlled by his own subjective consciousness, Zhang Cheng's vigilance has always been very high.
He will never allow any person or force to override his subjective consciousness, no matter how powerful it may be.
The Supreme Authority apparently agrees with this, and without thinking hesitates, "Be careful, indeed! I always felt that the fellow named Faust had no good intentions behind his back." The reason why he gave you that book must be hiding some ulterior motive. ”
"I don't need you to remind me, I know. Zhang Cheng smiled disappreciably.
Faust sent the book over, and even if he thought about it with his ass, he knew that he would definitely not be happy.
But the problem is that so far it is not clear what exactly the other side wants to do.
Pull yourself into the water and become a fanatical believer in death?
Or is it just a relatively stable ally with the same goals and powers?
In this deceitful world, all covenants are ultimately signed for tearing up and betrayal, so the allies of the present may be the enemies of the future.
Regarding this point, Zhang Cheng has a very personal experience.
Fortunately, the alliance between the three of them is still very strong, and at least there is no need to worry about betrayal until a conflict of interest arises.
So he didn't get too entangled, went straight to the place where the bones of the giant serpent were entrenched in the middle of the valley, bent down to carefully observe the thrilling beauty of the plant, and quickly joked in a half-joking tone: "This is the legendary Eternal Grass? Even the half-human, half-god hero, Gilgamesh, can't attain immortality, but this plant can." ”
"Strictly speaking, it is not a real plant, but a manifestation of vitality. You can understand that it represents the life force that is opposed to death. This power cannot be easily destroyed by death, so when you kill the serpent, it is once again materialized. The Supreme Authority explained unhurriedly.
"The embodiment of life? sounds interesting. But the question is, what is the use of this thing?" Zhang Cheng gently pulled the Eternal Grass out of the soil, feeling the surging life energy that could not be described in words.
As a special individual who has fused the excellent genes of countless creatures, including divinity, he has long since ceased to be limited by the lifespan of mortals, and coupled with his own ability to concoct life-extending potions, he will never have to worry about dying unless he is killed by a more powerful force.
The Eternal Grass doesn't seem to have anything peculiar about it other than giving the user the property of never aging.
As for the mysterious symbols on the scales of the giant snake, they are definitely the result of deliberately carved by humans or gods, rather than the naturally evolved biological spell ability.
Just when Zhang Cheng wasn't quite sure what to do with the Eternal Grass, the Supreme Authority suddenly interjected, "Great master! I think it's better for you to eat it." In any case, a strong life force is an energy that causes the fused genes in your body to mutate and evolve in a benign direction. ”
"Okay, then eat it. Zhang Cheng didn't say a word, just stuffed the plant into his mouth, chewed it briefly and swallowed it.
Moment!
A surging force began to pass along with the blood to every cell in the body!
For a moment, he even lost control of his body's shape.
In a moment, it will turn into a dragon form!
In a moment, it will turn into the form of the Mind Flayer Mastermind!
In a moment, it will take the form of a hill goron!
After a while, it reverted to its human form!
......
In the process of rapid change, these genes, which were originally somewhat estranged, slowly and completely fused, and finally formed a new species, a monster that covered the life characteristics of countless worlds.
The supreme authority silently observed Zhang Cheng for more than ten hours before he couldn't help but sigh: "My dear master, you are an out-and-out madman! A madman who has no bottom line! If you don't go crazy after following this path, you will definitely be able to stand at the peak of your strength......"
