Chapter One Hundred and Seven

A month later.

Ning Yuan placed all the twin yin lanterns according to the sacrificial formation in his memory, and placed the last twin yin lantern that had not been refined as the core in the center.

Ning Yuan, who was sitting quietly in the "safe zone" formed by the core yin lamp, put the short sword on his lap and waited silently.

In the past month, Ning Yuan had tested the actual effect of the anomalous resistance, although as he thought, since the attribute could exceed 100%, it meant that the actual effect definitely needed to be discounted. But he didn't expect at all that close to 180 to 200 percent of the abnormal mental resistance could only "resist" the spiritual erosion of the "Happy Heaven" for about two minutes.

It is said that it is "resistance", but in fact, it only slows down the time when the character's spirit is completely eroded, so that the character can still maintain a relatively sober thinking ability in the process of being eroded by the spirit.

Originally, if it weren't for luck and accident last time, Ning Yuan would probably have been eroded by the strange spirit of the "Happy Paradise" and turned into the state of the "living dead" within a minute. And now, although Ning Yuan still has no countermeasures and methods against this strange spiritual erosion, he can at least ensure that his mind remains awake for nearly two minutes, and he doesn't want to fall into mental stagnation in an instant when he first enters this space, and fall into the strange happiness brought by spiritual erosion.

As long as he can survive until the end of the sacrifice and the character's thinking is still clear, Ning Yuan can be regarded as having passed the test. If Ning Yuan becomes a "living dead" before the end of the sacrifice, then the only thing that awaits Ning Yuan is the awakening of the system and the ending of being kicked out of the "Nino Continent" to receive soul recuperation. Although Ning Yuan had a guess, perhaps the spiritual influence of the "Happy Paradise" would disappear after the sacrifice was over, and the characters would naturally wake up from the state of the "living dead". But in such a situation, Ning Yuan did not dare to gamble, even if he was a very gambling person, he did not dare to gamble.

Ning Yuan, who was waiting, was trying his best to relax his body while maintaining a high degree of mental concentration. He had to make sure that the ritual of sacrifice was activated at the same time as the core of the twin yin lanterns was refined. If he couldn't respond quickly and in time, Ning Yuan didn't know if he would have a chance to go to the launching ceremony.

From the completion of refining to the disappearance of the "safe zone" was only a short time of less than a breath, Ning Yuan could only maintain this state all the time. In fact, to deal with such a situation that requires an instantaneous reaction, the short five minutes after "meditation" is the most ideal state, but when the specific time for the completion of the twin yin lamp refining cannot be determined, Ning Yuan does not dare to use "meditation" to obtain the ideal state.

Just as Ning Yuan was thinking and waiting anxiously, the "black light" emitted by the core yin light flickered suddenly.

"Here we are." At the moment when the surrounding space suddenly turned white, Ning Yuan's short sword had already slashed the index finger of his left hand, and the blood on his fingertips dripped into the pure white eyes of the Yin Fish at the core wick of the Yin Lantern that had been refined at the same time as the "safe zone" disappeared.

His eyes were reflected by the pure white light, and the moment he lost his vision, Ning Yuan pulled the corners of his mouth with relief. Then the whole person fell into an eerie "stillness".

However, before he could not move, Ning Yuan had already completed the last action - inserting the short sword into his thigh.

The severe pain prevented Ning Yuan's mind from being affected by the strange spiritual erosion for the first time, and it could be regarded as buying himself time again outside the buffer time of the abnormal resistance.

The strange whisper with an intoxicating "sense of happiness" sounded in Ning Yuan's heart again. Relying on the buffer brought by the amplified pain and abnormal resistance, Ning Yuan struggled to keep his mind clear, and his strong will tried not to be affected by this strange sense of well-being.

However, just as he himself predicted, no matter how firm and persistent his spiritual will was, he could not stop the erosion of this strange sense of happiness, and Ning Yuan's thinking began to slow down with an unstoppable trend, and slowly moved in the direction of stagnation. Even if the mind is still "sober" under the effect of abnormal resistance, it wants to try to maintain its sobriety, and it begins to slowly compromise towards "happiness".

I know no, but I just can't help but let myself be intoxicated by that weird "sense of happiness".

I obviously want to resist, but I can't stop the yearning for "happiness" in my heart.

Just when Ning Yuan's consciousness was close to collapsing, and his heart was full of giving up and struggling, so he stopped thinking and pursued "happiness", the strange "happiness" suddenly began to weaken and retreated from his thoughts at an extremely fast speed.

While regaining control of his consciousness and thinking, Ning Yuan, who had come to his senses, knew that he had survived this hurdle.

Sure enough, after Ning Yuan regained his vision, the light that filled the space had disappeared, and at the same time, all the twin yin lights and the distant aura and the eerie sense of happiness everywhere disappeared. The environment also reverts to a normal rotunda.

At the same time, the system's prompt sounds:

"Congratulations to the player for passing the 'Yin Yang Mirage' test, evaluation: Legendary. Players will receive the following rewards"

"Congratulations to players for earning the achievement 'Silver Lining'"

"Congratulations to the player for earning the title 'Mirror Breaker'"

"Congratulations to the player for obtaining the talent 'Breaking Delusion'."

"Congratulations to the player for obtaining the character trait 'Steadfast.'"

"Congratulations to the player for obtaining a random chest*10."

"Congratulations to the player for earning 100,000 XP (deposited in the XP pool)"

"A Silver Lining of Life: A Legendary Achievement of Finding the Only Chance of Life in a Seemingly Lifeless Desperate Situation."

"The Mirror Breaker: Title. Improve the player's ability to see through the flaws in the fantasy space. ”

"Delusion: Acquired talent. Grade: A. Effect: Immune to the effects of non-direct offensive illusion environments and skills below advanced (including advanced). Reduces the impact of non-direct offensive illusion environments and skills above the advanced level, and the effect of the reduction depends on the actual situation. (Currently unavailable)"

"Steadfastness: character characteristics. Effect: Passively reduces negative mental effects by 10%. ”

"Sure enough, the greater the risk, the greater the benefit." Looking at the new information on the character panel, the corners of Ning Yuan's mouth turned up, and he whispered excitedly: "And the greater benefit is still to come." ”

As he spoke, he took out the two pieces of roulette in Kun's bag.

One piece is a yang fish roulette from the sacrifice of forty-nine "twin soul lamps (yang)".

One is a yin fish roulette from the sacrifice of forty-nine "twin soul lamps (yin)".

When Ning Yuan took out the two pieces of roulette from the Kun bag with his left and right hands, the two pieces of roulette automatically broke away from Ning Yuan's hands and were suspended in the air and slowly approached.

There is no light and shadow effect, and when the two wheels get closer, they naturally merge together to form a complete bronze wheel with a yin-yang fish pattern. Then the new roulette wheel automatically returned to Ning Yuan's hands.

"Congratulations to the player for obtaining the spiritual artifact 'Reincarnation Twin Disk'."

"The player gets the mandatory task 'Unblocking'."

"Reincarnation Twin Disk: Spiritual Objects. Twin Clans. Effect 1: Automatically summon five pairs of twins to join the city every month. This effect requires the bearer to own a city; Effect 2: Automatically generate one prefecture-level soul bead, two Xuan-level soul beads, four yellow-level soul beads, and ten random quality soul beads below advanced (including advanced) every month; Effect 3: Sacrificing the roulette wheel to the city altar can forcibly convert the race of dragon and phoenix twin residents in the city into twins, and each pair of twins needs to sacrifice no less than 49 high-level resentful spirits, and each pair of twins needs to wait for seven hours to be converted again; Effect 4: All Twins can change classes through the Sacrificial Roulette and obtain the corresponding class inheritance; Effect 5: All Twins have all attributes increased by 100% and the effects of all skills increased by 100% within the city range (including radiation range) with the roulette wheel; Effect 6: All twins can be awakened by lighting the soul lamp on the sacrificial roulette, and it takes 49 days for each awakening to awaken again (awakening has a chance of success, and each pair of twins has a maximum of three awakening opportunities); Effect 7: All Twins who have reached the strength of the Shuai level (including the Shuai level) or above can obtain the ability to summon the companion beast 'Yin Yang Mirage' once a month to help fight for half an hour through sacrifice, and the strength of the summoned 'Yin Yang Mirage' is random; Effect 8: All Twins who die within the effect of the roulette wheel can have the power to resurrect once a day;Effect 9: All completely dead Twins souls will return to the roulette wheel for reincarnation. ”

"Soul Orb: A prop used by the Twins to capture the ghosts of the ghosts. Depending on the quality, the number and quality of the Wraith that can be stored varies. ”

"Unsealed: Mandatory quest for the holders of the twin spirits. Mission Class: Unknown. Description: For some reason, the Twins have been sealed in a mysterious space on the continent of Neno, and as the holder of the Twins Artifact, it is your duty to find this mysterious space and rescue the Twins. Quest completion conditions: Lift the mysterious space seal to rescue the twins. Quest Rewards: The official ownership of the Reincarnation Twin Disk and other unknown rewards. ”

After reading the specific attributes of the complete spiritual object "Reincarnation Twin Disk", Ning Yuan gasped and called out "perverted".

Although the "Reincarnation Twin Disk" as a twin clan weapon has no offensive and defensive capabilities, and all other effects are designed for the twins except for the first effect, Ning Yuan still has to sigh that "the spirit object deserves to be a spirit object".

The effect of the "Reincarnation Twin Disk" has reached as many as nine, and each effect can be said to be very powerful and targeted.

The first summon effect can be said to be entirely for the wielder, allowing the wielder to directly gain the potency and help of the Twins.

The second effect is designed for the Twins to obtain the sacrificial Soul of the Clan.

The third effect is for the additional population growth of the Twins.

The fourth effect targets the Twins' class and skill inheritance.

The fifth, sixth, and seventh effects are all to increase the strength of the twins.

The fifth effect increases the strength of the Twins.

The sixth effect can directly increase the strength of the Twins.

The seventh effect can be seen as increasing the twins' hole cards.

The eighth and ninth effects strengthen the survivability of the twins and the ability of the twins to continue the race inheritance respectively (all the races of the twins reincarnated through the roulette wheel are still twins after the soul is reincarnated).

The "Reincarnation Twin Disk", as the first complete spiritual object that Ning Yuan obtained, made Ning Yuan fully aware of the power and preciousness of the spiritual object. This is still a racial inheritance artifact with a symbolic meaning greater than the actual meaning of the spiritual object, Ning Yuan seems to be able to see from afar that if it is a spiritual object that attaches importance to the actual effect, such as a pure offensive or defensive spiritual object, it can be called a shocking and unpredictable power like a Dinghai Divine Needle.

However, for Ning Yuan, compared to pure spiritual objects that seemed to be conceivable and could not seem to have unimaginable power, the spiritual objects and spiritual components of the inheritance clan weapon types such as the "Reincarnation Twin Disk" and the "Source of Ice Condensation" were more in line with his heart.

Although Ning Yuan would not give up any opportunity to improve his individual strength, from the moment he decided to enter the game and follow the guidance of the Prophetic Dream to the Dragon's Tooth Mountain Range to obtain the opportunity to inherit the inheritance, he was destined to take the path of an adventurer who was not based on pure individual strength.

However, although he was pleased with the harvest of the complete spiritual object, from the information of the mandatory mission, Ning Yuan knew that he had not obtained the complete ownership of the "Reincarnation Twin Disk", but only obtained the temporary ownership and use rights.

Although the mission information does not state the duration of the task and the penalty for failing the mission, Ning Yuan can infer that the task must have a timeliness through the vague rewards given, which may be very long or can only be triggered if certain conditions are met, and the punishment for mission failure is probably not just as simple as the foreseeable loss of spiritual objects.

However, without additional information, Ning Yuan could not make accurate inferences. Whether it is the mandatory task "Unsealed" or the mandatory task "The Mystery of Condensing Ice", for the current Ning Yuan, it can only be the existence of the pavilion that will be shelved.

Although he has actually entered the game for nearly a year or more than a year, for Ning Yuan, his game path has not officially opened, and he still cannot be regarded as truly entering the "Nino Continent", the game world of "Regeneration". It wasn't until he had fully acquired the Dragon's Tooth Mountain Legion that his career in the game world of Regeneration would officially begin.

After exchanging and repairing the Xuanjin Treasure Chest rewarded by the "Glimmer of Life" legendary achievement, Ning Yuan walked through the unobstructed rotunda towards the opposite exit.

After stepping out of the hall and walking along the secret passage in a circular downward circle for almost a quarter of an hour, Ning Yuan stood at the exit of the secret passage and looked at the square that appeared in front of him.

The end of the inheritance, the "Nameless Stele Forest", has finally arrived.

Overlapping the inheritance opportunity in his memory that only took two days to complete, it took Ning Yuan a full year to finally approach the end, which had to make Ning Yuan's heart rise with a thousand emotions.

People are social creatures, even if the unsociable and withdrawn otaku does not see his kind for a year, cannot obtain information from the outside world and has no one to communicate, that sense of loneliness and loneliness will also cause him great pressure.

What's more, Ning Yuan's experience this year was a huge test in itself, although he didn't show much abnormality, but the pressure inside could be imagined.

And now that the end has come, the final inheritance is coming, once the inheritance is obtained, he will officially step into the "Nino Continent", and when he returns to the crowd, Ning Yuan's mood can be imagined how emotional and complicated it will be.

After taking a moment to calm down the churning mind, Ning Yuan looked at the square in front of him according to his memory.

The plaza is circular, with a passage to the other end of the circular plaza paved with the central line in the direction directly opposite the exit. The width of the passage is about three meters, and the two ends are neatly arranged with pieces of wordless stone tablets. The steles are spaced two meters apart, and the height rises sequentially, and they are symmetrically distributed on the left and right. The height of the two stone tablets at the exit of the secret passage is only about half a meter, the four stone tablets in the second row are about one meter high, and the six stone tablets in the third row are one and a half meters high, and so on, all the way to the center. There are nine stone tablets on the left and right that are 4.5 meters high, and the number of stone tablets on the two sides decreases in turn, but the height continues to increase.

On the other side, there is a diagonal staircase of nine steps at the four eight-meter-high stone monuments, and on the steps is a small platform, in the center of which only a huge stone monument with a height of nine meters stands. Like a king overlooking his ministers.

The heart of that particular city in memory is on the base of the nine-meter stone monument.

Ning Yuan took a deep breath and stepped on the passage to the stone platform with a relaxed expression. The moment he stepped on it, Ning Yuan seemed to feel a breeze blowing. Although there was no danger in the stele forest in his memory, after experiencing so many differences between the two realms, Ning Yuan no longer had the slightest trust in the overlapping memories. Therefore, although Ning Yuan seemed defenseless and his expression was very calm and relaxed, in fact, the whole person was in an abnormal state of vigilance.

However, no matter what he was about to face, he couldn't stop Ning Yuan from walking towards the stone platform step by step.

Sure enough, the difference between the two realms was soon reflected again, and the uselessness of Ning Yuan's overlapping memories was once again verified.

As he approached the center line of the square, Ning Yuan keenly sensed that something was wrong. There seemed to be an invisible resistance pressing against him. And the closer you get to the stone platform, the more pronounced this feeling becomes. When he walked to the center of the circular square, Ning Yuan already felt a substantial force stopping him from moving forward.

"Sure enough, overlapping memories are no longer of the slightest use. Is it a new test? Ning Yuan stopped for a while, and without thinking too much, he walked forward firmly again, but his expression no longer maintained the superficial relaxation, and became solemn and firm, "No matter what it is, it can't stop me." ”

When Ning Yuan walked under the stone platform, his forehead was already covered with sweat, and an invisible coercion came to the surface.

Ning Yuan raised his head and stared at the nine steps in front of him, his fists clenched, his whole body trembling slightly, feeling the coercion that seemed to condense into substance physically and mentally. This coercion is not the coercion of the natural biological class of inferior creatures facing superior creatures, nor is it the coercion of money and power of superiors and subordinates of small people facing big people, nor is it the coercion of all living beings as small as dust in the face of the wrath of nature, but the coercion of self-denial and self-torture from the heart when a lie is facing the truth, and hypocrisy comes from inner self-denial and self-torture in the face of truth. Ning Yuan knew that the final test was coming. After that, the sea and the sky are wide, and you have to taste what you want; If it can't pass, then it is likely to collapse and die, and everything will be over.

"Conscience?"

Ning Yuan slowly closed his eyes and stood silently in front of the steps for a long time, during which his body bent unnaturally from time to time and straightened up strongly, his expression was sometimes hideous and sometimes calm.

Until a certain moment.

"Whew!"

A breath full of emotion sounded in the silent Beilin Square.

Ning Yuan's figure stood straight, his hands relaxed, and he slowly opened his eyes, his expression was soft and calm, with a touch of serenity.

Glancing over the steps and looking at the towering huge stone monument, Ning Yuan stepped slowly but surely onto the first step of the steps.

A voice majestic and without any emotion sounded in his head:

"What do you want?"

"I, ah, am the inheritor of a once great race." Ning Yuan muttered softly.

Step forward again.

"What do you want?"

"That race or nation is still strong."

Step 3.

"What do you want?"

"But this strength has lost its pride."

Step 4.

"What do you want?"

"Lost its essence."

。。。。。。

When the first sound of "What do you want" sounded, Ning Yuan's mind unconsciously remembered some memories of when he was a child. When the second "What do you want" sounded, I remembered the book I had read about the history of the stars. When the third sound sounded, the history of Zhuxia unconsciously came to mind. Fourth, fifth, sixth...

Since the ancestors came from the barbarian tribes, Zhuxia has overcome thorns and thorns, expanded the territory and opened up the territory, created the most glorious 5,000-year-old Zhuxia civilization of Zhuxing, cast the proudest and great Zhuxia nation of Zhuxing, and established the most powerful dynasty of Zhuxing across the city-states. The light of civilization of Zhuxia was once the light of the world of the stars. But when the other civilizations of Zhuxing rose, Zhuxia fell. The rulers and people of Zhuxia indulged in the sweet dreams of the heavenly kingdom, fell into the dirty and dark power struggle, and fell into the abyss of cannibalism. It wasn't until other civilizations came with the fire of war that Zhuxia woke up in hell. Although they have re-emerged in modern times, although they are still strong, they can never return to their former greatness, their former glory.

Step 9.

"What do you want?"

"I... I just want to make up for the regret of being a bloodline inheritor in my heart, and I just want to see the greatness and glory of the past. Ning Yuan chuckled and stepped onto the stone platform.

"Even if everything is only illusory after all, even if everything is only a delusion of self-satisfaction after all."

Sure enough, after Ning Yuan stepped on the stone platform, all the coercion disappeared. At the same time, the prompt of the system sounded again:

"Congratulations to the player for passing the 'Conscience' test and obtaining the character trait 'Bright Heart'."

Ning Yuan ignored the sound of the system, walked directly to the stone tablet, and picked up the colorless crystal-like regular decahedron on the base of the stone tablet. This is the heart of the city.

"Congratulations to the player for winning the 'Special Class City Heart'."

"Heh, it's finally here." Ning Yuan whispered with a slightly excited expression.

"Special A City Junction (Unique): A city junction that can establish a metropolis city. Liege Class Class Token. Affiliation: None. ”

"Do you use professional tokens?"

"Yes."

"Congratulations to the player for attaining the class: Lord. The player opens the liege class panel. ”

Ning Yuan looked at the career information and new attribute panels that appeared on the character panel and nodded with satisfaction.

The attribute of this city knot in Ning Yuan's hand is very simple, but it is very powerful, especially the word "only" and the last attribute, even Ning Yuan is a little unexpected, and at the same time feels that it should be so.

Only such a powerful and unique city knot was in vain, and it took Fei Ningyuan a year and nine deaths to get it.

Needless to say, the second attribute of all city knots is the same.

The first attribute is to establish a capital-level city. This is the highest level of any city that can be built at the heart of the city.

The level of the city that can be built is the same as the level of the city center.

The maximum size of a D-level city is about 200 kilometers (200 square kilometers), the sphere of influence is 300 square kilometers, and the upper limit of the population (permanent residents registered in the city) is 150,000.

A city built in the heart of a C-level city can be upgraded to C-level at the highest level, with a maximum area of about 1,000 kilometers, a radius of 3,000 square kilometers around the city, and a population limit of 500,000.

A B-class city can be built with a scale of about 5,000 kilometers, a sphere of influence of 8,000 square kilometers, and a population limit of 5 million;

The scale of the Grade A city built by Jiexin is about 10,000 kilometers in radius, with a sphere of influence of 20,000 square kilometers and a population limit of 20 million.

Although the size of the city that can be built by all levels of cities is very large in terms of population limitations, in practice all cities are built in terms of the maximum urban population to determine the actual size.

The special A-level city in Ningyuan's hands can build a super giant city with a maximum area of 50,000 square kilometers, and the scope of influence is 80,000 square kilometers, and the population limit has reached 100 million.

Of course, all cities are built from villages. The city knot level corresponds to the level of the city that can be built in the end.

After talking about the first attribute, let's talk about the third attribute. This attribute is more powerful and important, and it can even be said that the meaning of the word "unique" lies.

As we mentioned earlier, all that the Longyuan level authority can buy is the city knot under the alliance of major city-states.

What does that mean? Actually, it's literal.

The city established by the player is considered to belong to the alliance of the city-states by default. In addition, the location where the player builds a city must be within the domination of the city-state alliance to which it belongs.

This is the restriction of the third attribute, "belonging to the power".

And the piece in Ning Yuan's hand is amazing. Affiliation: None. This means that Ning Yuan can build cities within the scope of all city-state alliances and choose the forces to which they belong, and can also establish independent forces in non-city-state alliance areas.

The importance of a completely independent force is unquestionable for players. Of course, cities with belonging forces can also be independent, but this is equivalent to betraying the alliance of city-states to which they belong, and the consequences are. It's up to the player.
