"No, why didn't the nightmare end?"

Cheng Shen realized it later.

Although the horror of this nightmare has not yet reached the point of recovery, he has solved the source of the nightmare. However, the surrounding spatial structure is still very stable, and it has not collapsed and shattered like the Monastery of Songs.

Don't......

Wasn't the Pure God he killed the root cause of this nightmare?

Who would that be......

Cheng Shen suddenly found that in his perception range, the mood fluctuations of Dana who was originally the only one left around him appeared out of thin air.

He turned his head to look directly at Dana's abdomen.

cold

Evil.

A pitch-black ball of light was born within her. Cheng Shen confirmed that the fetus had died at the time of the previous nightmare, or that the villagers had tortured Dana to force Dana to tell the child's father.

But at this time, it was affected by some factor and came back to life.

"So here."

Cheng Shen said softly.

He sensed that the demonic fetus was absorbing Dana's life force, but he did not stop it, its strength was weaker than that of a normal adult, and even if it was born, it would not be able to pose a threat to itself.

"I'm the one who interferes with its growth......"

Cheng Shen thoughtfully.

According to the normal flow of this nightmare, the fetus will only wake up after being sacrificed to the Pure God by these ignorant villagers. There may be other changes in the process that will cause it to grow faster.

The end result was a miserable brew.

But now.

It can absorb only Dana's power.

Cheng Shen walked over and squatted in front of the unconscious Dana, stretched out a hand to caress her belly, and the hideous green tendons on the round belly agitated, conveying the deep heart through a clear perception of flesh and blood.

"Father's ......"

There was a touch of affection, joy and flattery in the voice.

Cheng Shen was unmoved.

He could see the true emotions in the heart of the demon fetus, resentment and evil were unchanged, and there was a deep fear mixed in them.

It's scared.

Because it had already sensed Cheng Shen's intentions.

"You weren't supposed to be born."

Cheng Shen said.

He was calmly pronouncing the verdict and not consulting with the fetus.

“…… But it's not because of you! A blue-black distorted grimace appeared on the belly, and realizing that the disguise would not work, the malice of the demon fetus was suddenly revealed, and the bulging veins seemed to burst the belly.

"Uh......"

Dana, unconscious, looked pained and groaned.

The demon fetus looked smug again, "Father, you can't stop my birth, my life is now connected with my mother!" ”

"Silly boy."

Cheng Shen had an expression of caring for mentally handicapped children, and when he pressed his palm lightly, the stretched meridians immediately withered, and even Dana's stomach became shriveled as if it had been drained of flesh and blood.

"No, you can't ......"

The demon fetus only felt that the power in its body was being continuously withdrawn, screaming in horror and begging, but Cheng Shen was not Nancy at all, not its father, how could he care about the death or life of the two nightmare mirrors?

But.

He at least fulfilled his promise.

Dana fell asleep with a calm expression, never suffering the slightest bit of pain.

Bang......!

The cave shook violently, and in the depths of the cave, the sound of water became louder and louder, and a black rolling tide surged forward.

Drowning everything.

Cheng Shen drained the last trace of emotional power in the demon fetus before the tide surged, but unfortunately, it was mostly resentful in its heart, and it could not be used as nutrients for the flower of despair. The villagers killed by it should have been more desperate.

"Hope to have more time to act the next time you come in."

Cheng Shen muttered.

[Anchor Binding Progress: 100%!] 】

……

He took out the rusty copper key at the last minute.

Card.

The key shattered, and a brilliant white light took over his vision.

When the vision is clear again.

He had already appeared in a lavishly decorated bedroom.

The mix of dark gold and dark purple décor made him quickly tell that this was a room in Storm Castle.

There was no one around.

Cheng Shen reacted and opened the system interface as soon as possible.

"Just right...... In the past day, it seems that the speed of time in the nightmare world is basically the same as in reality. ”

He thought to himself.

OK.

This incident didn't make him miss the second faction battle.

However, having said that, Cheng Shen had planned to explore this map fragment before the third faction war.

Unexpectedly.

Now it's a full week ahead.

This is undoubtedly good news, and the more time he has, the better he can prepare.

"What happened after that? …… Who brought me here...... Why did you even change my clothes!? ”

Cheng Shen only felt cold and swishing, and his brain immediately flew over the subordinates he had recruited.

First of all

Exclude Dameng.

But with the character of Aljeka or Yusegra, it is impossible for him to do this......

He quickly gave up thinking.

Getting up and putting on the clothes that someone had prepared for him on the side, Cheng Shen put away the Watcher suit that had been cleaned and hung on the armor rack.

Open the backpack.

He brought out the nightmare with the same thing.

Although the space only restricted the entry of souls, it did not seem to be able to affect the system yet. It could also be that the level of his fall into the nightmare was not deep enough.

Of course.

It is not surprising to look at this situation with Cheng Shen's current understanding.

The soul and the body are just two different forms of energy.

But it's still energy.

The so-called restriction shackles are only because his control over the energy is not complete enough, if he can reduce both energies to their original essence, then the soul and the body will merge into one, and there will be no difference.

"This nightmare trip is still very rewarding......"

Cheng Shen thought.

In addition to gathering the last fragment of the broken sword, he harvested four transcendental-level holy relics, three pieces of soul blood lotus and other precious treasures.

The biggest benefit.

It is the transformation of his own soul realm.

Unable to view it in a nightmare, now back to reality, the system panel immediately clearly lists all the changes in his attributes.

The most intuitive data.

Mental intensity.

This attribute was originally determined by his spiritual energy, that is, the upper limit of mana, and with the gain of the Blue Whale Meditation Method every moment, his spiritual strength had already far exceeded that of a professional in the same realm.

But at this time, there is an additional bonus after his mental strength attribute: (+325%)!

This bonus was not directly converted into a numerical value that tripled his upper limit of mana, but Cheng Shen could feel that his control of mental power had changed quite significantly.

In the past, it cost him 100 mana to cast a ring of magic.

Now it is enough to consume only a third.

And in the original power.

Increase.

This special bonus did not inflate his stats, but instead produced another high degree of qualitative change.

Secondly, the four newly unlocked abilities also appear in his talent slot.

perceived desire,

control emotions,

Drowning ghost skin,

Reincarnation is in a desperate situation.

Drowning the Ghost Skin is an ability he gains after swallowing the Pure God's Brain, and has the effect of passively increasing Soul Resistance.

Cheng Shen had been trying to transform the soul impact into a soul defense skill before, but this time it was saved.

Drowning Ghost Skin increases resistance by a percentage based on his own soul strength.

It can be said that at this stage, unless someone can grow up as perverted as him, almost no one can break his soul defense.

And this advantage.

It will remain until he is promoted to the transcendent realm.

Samsara Despair is the power that the Flower of Despair gave him after the first stage matured.

This ability ......

He's still trying to figure it out.

"Your Lord, you're awake!"

An unfamiliar woman walked into the house with a basin of water.

Cheng Shen glanced at her name and was not impressed, but he immediately reacted that this should be the servant arranged for him by someone else.

"Did you change my clothes?"

He asked.

The girl's face with a little freckles suddenly turned red, and she nodded shyly, "Yes, Lord Lord......"

"No wonder."

Cheng Shen didn't think too much about it.

He washed up briefly, opened the territory panel to check the results of the war, and searched for Arjeka's location.

information.

He saw a bunch of system prompts that had already been sent before.

【Exploration Success!】 】

[Hint: You've successfully collected one-seventh of the puzzle pieces in the Dark Forest!] Get a special resource reward - Blood Jade Vein (1st Order)! 】

[Hint: You killed a Devil!] 】

[Obtain: Lord's reputation +200!] 】

[Obtain: Hell Fame +100!] 】

[Obtain: Protoss Fame +100!] 】

[Obtain: ......]

[Obtained: The Covenant Breaker (Title)!] 】

[Obtain: Boundary Treasure Box +1!] 】

[Hint: Your contract with the devil has been broken!] 】

……

The most outrageous hint seen in the system message mileage is a long list of prestige increases.

He had just killed a devil.

A cursory look.

At least it has increased the reputation of more than 30 races!

Among them, there are seven races that have the supreme bloodline, such as the Protoss and the Demons!

Although Cheng Shen hadn't heard of the other races, he knew that they weren't much weaker just by looking at the name.

After all, it's a race that can survive after being targeted by the devil!

"It's not an exaggeration to say how notorious the devil is around the world......"

Cheng Shen couldn't help but sigh.

These increases in reputation are undoubtedly quite beneficial to him.

Even with a small reward, it is an epic breakthrough from scratch, which means that when he encounters people of these races, he will not be treated as strangers or even enemies at the first time, but as his own people.

Especially since there are seven supreme races ...... among them!

Cheng Shen continued to look.

The system also gave him two additional rewards for killing the devil, the first of which was the title of Covenantbreaker.

This is a special title with an ability bonus.

The effect is that every other calendar month he can ignore the constraints of a designated contract.

Including the Devil's Pact.

The ability of this title is simply too strong.

Moreover, this title does not need to be worn all the time, as long as it is temporarily worn when in use.

Won't be discovered......

Although the term renegade may not sound very friendly, the actual effect is surprisingly strong! Cheng Shen didn't feel the ridicule from the system, after all, this was the reward he received for defeating the devil!

【Breakthrough Treasure Box】

【Treasures】

[Level: Extraordinary]

[Description: After use, you can randomly obtain a treasure containing a rich transcendent factor]

……

The second reward is also quite heavy.

The transcendent factor is the star gold in the energy realm, which is not only necessary to break through the transcendent realm, but also can be used for various purposes, Cheng Shen previously obtained a small amount of transcendent factor to upgrade the holy pool to a perfect three-star.

And this box can be fixed to open a treasure with a rich content!

How rich can it be?

Cheng Shen weighed for a moment, but didn't immediately open it.

He hadn't decided what to do with it after obtaining a large amount of transcendent factors, and if he opened a prop that was difficult to save, it would undoubtedly be a blood loss.

Hold it first.

But he should be able to use it soon.

The four transcendental-level holy relics he brought back this time belonged to treasures that were stable in form and could store transcendental factors for a long time.

When he uses it to refine items, there may be an energy gap.

"Blood Jade Vein ......"

Cheng Shen looked at the most valuable reward given by the system.

It's a mine!

Opening the territory panel, Cheng Shen found that the vein resource points rewarded by the system were located in the original deserted village.

It had already collapsed into a big pit by the ground trapping technique he had strengthened with the formation before.

At that time, his idea was to take it down regardless of attrition.

Now it seems.

Wise.

Cheng Shen absorbed the memories of Murdox and Evil in the nightmare, and knew that there was nothing of value in that deserted village, even the flesh and blood that could be used to make fertilizer, all kinds of pollution were attached.

Burning is the best solution.

Originally.

The most precious thing about the deserted village's exploration point is that there is a nightmare entrance there.

But this can only be unlocked by submission or a partnership with Murdox.

The difficulty of the former's strategy is probably higher than that of Haidilao needle, and the latter Cheng Shen is even more unlikely to cooperate with a devil with confidence.

So he killed Murdox.

But by mistake.

He also received a key from Yunus that would unlock the Nightmare Plane.

Overall, there was no loss.

And to talk about the veins, at least Cheng Shen confirmed in Murdox's memory, there is absolutely none.

This should be the reward that the system gives out of thin air.

Specifics.

Cheng Shen had to take a look for himself.

It is a pity that neither Murdox nor Evil has retained any memory of the transcendent after he was born in his body.

Otherwise.

Cheng Shen can know what happened in that city back then.

Although he transformed his soul into a devil and fused with nightmares to obtain another level of eternal life, this newly born Murdox is still not him, it depends on personal understanding.

"King Kong is not bad Dazhai Master"

"You've been dragged into a nightmare space?" Arjeka looked sideways slightly when she heard the news.

Then nodded.

"It's one of the few deep spaces where the rules are stable, and it's also a great place to lift the soul."

She was "reading" a book in the library of Storm Castle and gave a brief introduction.

Cheng Shen glanced at the book cover.

"The Last Lord of the Bronze Age".

Next to her are some, "How to Manage Territory", "Tips for Winning People's Hearts", "The Art of Domination", ......

Wait a minute.

…… She thought she wouldn't wake up, did she?
