Chapter 423: Prison Cage

Disappointed, Xu Shen knew that he wouldn't.

It's just that although I know the way to become a god, I can't become a god immediately, and I still need to wait for an opportunity.

Time flies.

Under Xu Shen's order, Cloudsdale moved to the inner city, and the original Cloudsdale was vacant, where cells were set up to imprison felons in various fields, and the deepest decaying caves were guarded by the king.

Xu Shen personally went to Moonsky City to appreciate the meaning of science and technology that the priest said.

It's a new city, full of metal, machinery, steam, and the streets are full of manual communication, which was originally just a simple communication, but can actually play some simple entertainment.

The city is also indulged in all kinds of entertainment brought about by technology.

And in this city, there are really no fog people, and the number of ruin slayers is even larger, and there are even many people who choose to be ruins slayers.

In various parts of the city, ruin cutting academies were also established to teach the knowledge of ruin cutting.

The law here is also different from that elsewhere.

Although it was the first time he came to this city, Xu Shen had a sense of familiarity.

It's a strange feeling, it's the first time I've been to a strange place, but I feel like I've seen it somewhere.

After Xu Shen made an inspection, he agreed to the priest's request and decided to copy the system of MoonSky City to the inner city and even other bottom cities.

Moreover, Xu Shen is ready to break down the barriers and merge the inner city with the eight bottom cities to unify them into a world city.

This process will take some time, but now Xu Shen is the one who makes the decision, he has no shortage of time, and many things are ordered to go on, and he does not need to personally supervise them.

As the anti-internal army turned into a regular army and was ordered to reform, Xu Shen also learned from the anti-internal army the way they mastered to become a god.

Find a well-established shell of the old god and you can become a parasitic god.

And, they have clues to the shells of the Old Gods.

One of the three forbidden places in the sea of ruins, the Divine Spirit Ruins.

Rumor has it that there are still old gods there.

It's just that it is extremely dangerous and difficult to enter the Divine Spirit Ruins, so although the priests have this path in their hands and have secretly let people explore it over the years, they have all been heard from and have failed.

After all, if there is a god in the ruins of the gods, it is tantamount to suicide for a mere king to set foot in front of the gods.

Xu Shen was not satisfied with such an answer, this kind of clue is of little significance, after all, the success rate is too low, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is one in ten thousand.

The priest was ready to be challenged by Xu Shen, and he had already thought of a rhetoric, how difficult it was to become a god, and the probability of being able to have a 1 in 10,000 was high, but what surprised him was that Xu Shen only showed a little disappointment after hearing it, but he did not embarrass them.

For Xu Shen, the path on the priest's side is just an alternative.

And compared to the way he comprehended, Xu Shen felt that this method seemed to be a bit flawed.

Borrowing the shell of God is, in a sense, also self-denial.

But in the end, it relied on external forces.

At the same time as the reform of the inner city and the bottom city, Xu Shen also asked several kings to accompany Xingjun to find the last suitable ruin soldier in the book of war.

The Star Monarch leaves the inner city and goes out into the wilderness to explore.

This last ruin soldier has not been found for a long time.

Xu Shen was not in a hurry, he took the opportunity to adjust himself.

Becoming a god ultimately depends on himself.

Xu Shen planned to test the method of becoming a god in the soul cage, but when he cast the mind cage, he had some doubts, and other abilities Xu Shen could control freely, but only the mind cage, he could never fully control it.

Each layer of the cage was in a different environment, and Xu Shen found that he could not adjust.

It's strange that it's your own mental world, but you're not the master.

Xu Shen felt that he might have underestimated this ability, and perhaps neither he nor Yono had fully brought out the characteristics of this ability.

After having such thoughts, Xu Shen planned to carefully probe the soul cage.

On the third level of the mental cage, Xu Shen is a patient locked up in a psychiatric hospital with schizophrenia.

I've tried jumping off a building, committing suicide, going crazy, and desperate to break free and get out of the hospital.

And the people who appeared around him played all kinds of roles in the courtyard.

"Mom" is her own mother inside.

Yono is his own doctor.

Occasionally, I will transfer to another hospital to meet new patients and doctors.

Staying in it for a long time can even give people the illusion that it is real and that reality is just delusion.

But with Xu Shen's current willpower, he will naturally not be easily shaken, and he can easily break free from the third layer.

He came to the first level of the cage that he had never known closely.

The ratio of time here is 1:1 with the outside world.

The flow of time is equivalent to reality.

And the environment here also makes Xu Shen feel familiar, especially after going to Moonsky City, Xu Shen has seen some familiar things, reflected here.

On the first floor of the cage, he is a teenager trapped by the earthquake disaster.

Buried under the collapsed building.

The darkness around him, the extremely faint light, shone through the cracks in the boulders, and wisps of light of oxygen were ingested from there, barely allowing him to support himself.

He was stuck inside, his body as if he had transformed into an ordinary person, feeling hungry, drowsy, and weak.

Beside him was a communicator that had run out of power, very similar in appearance to the one in MoonSky City.

Trapped underground, Xu Shen knows nothing about the outside world.

But to Xu Shen's relief and surprise, Maeve was able to shuttle through his mental cage as always, and was also by his side at this moment.

It's just that Maeve is like an elf, and she is not limited in her movement like him, but can shuttle between the rocks freely, as if she is shuttling through the ruins realm.

Maeve would often leave and bring back some food from outside for Xu Shen.

Here, Xu Shen doesn't have to worry, he can look at each other, make contact, and communicate with Maeve face to face, just like in the third layer of the mental cage.

Although it is a rare exchange, the conversation between the two is not unfamiliar, after all, each other's voices often linger in their ears.

Through Maeve, Xu Shen also explored a little bit of the information outside, and the surrounding area had collapsed under the influence of the earthquake and became ruins.

The place where he was buried was relatively deep, there was an elevator, but the elevator was also crushed, and the button board on it let Xu Shen know that the building he lived in had nine floors, which was not a tall building, but it was not low.

With Xu Shen's own ordinary human strength, it was almost impossible to move the rock ruins above.

And because of the earthquake, the ground seemed to have collapsed, and he was buried very deeply.

The only thing I could find around me was a photo of myself and my mother smeared in muddy water.

Mom is long gone.

Xu Shen could occasionally smell the faint smell of decay coming from the cracks in the rocks, if he hadn't guessed wrong......
