In the twentieth month of the Great Market, the whole world has begun to stabilize closely, but the civilization is fading more and more.

After Gu Shanhai casually suppressed the earthquake in the region, his expression became more and more confused.

"As for the source, according to the data calculation, the location that caused the disaster in the whole world should be in this area."

After three months of further testing the divine power on Ren's body and finding that it was not affected, Gu Shanhai set out to find the source of the disaster.

According to his month-long survey and a large amount of data, he determined that the location was in this area.

Of course, it is not clear whether there is Gu Shanhai or not, and it can only be explored.

"Is it a transfer?"

"Or is it not the source, just a radiant ground?"

Gu Shanhai carefully probed and found nothing.

"Or is there no source at all, and these disasters are born randomly?" Gu Shanhai was also a little unsure.

From the analysis of the data and intelligence he collected, it is very likely that he has a source rather than a random birth.

Recently, the overload state of the world is declining little by little, and it is obvious that something has caused its overall level to decline, giving Gu Shanhai the feeling that something is being conceived, or simply that it has been conceived.

Gu Shanhai also observed the entire world through the divine power data on Ren's body, and only then did he discover these things.

It's just that the things he can observe are limited, otherwise he needs to visit and investigate everywhere, in order to make further observations, as for Ren, he can perceive less things than Gu Shanhai, there is only a vague feeling similar to intuition, and there is no such intuitive data as Gu Shanhai.

"In that case, then me, do you dare to fight with me?"

Gu Shanhai was about to leave, but suddenly found that the ground was constantly shaking, and that strong tremor was constantly erupting, if the earthquake he suppressed just now was magnitude eight, now it has directly increased to magnitude nine.

Obviously, this is a kind of revenge on him from the source of the disaster, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence.

With his strength, he not only suppressed the earthquake but also sorted out the leylines by the way, so it is impossible for an earthquake to happen again, and even aftershocks will not happen, but now it is good, and he directly slapped Gu Shanhai, saying that the other party is very capable.

"Give me back!" Gu Shanhai did not hesitate to move.

The mana and the vibration canceled each other out, directly making the earthquake that was about to erupt disappear without a trace.

"Okay now, you've got my attention."

Gu Shanhai thought that there was no source, and now that the other party was directly exposed, he didn't know what the other party was trying to do.

"So, what the hell is it? Living or dead. ”

As for the source, Gu Shanhai was also confused, and the data in his hand could be confirmed, but he couldn't know what it was.

The prophecy divination has not yet been restored, so Gu Shanhai cannot verify it, and the influence of the Great Ruins still exists in this world.

"Found it!" Gu Shanhai's spiritual sense continued to spread, constantly probing within a range of tens of thousands of miles, and when the Four Holy Beasts system assisted him in constructing a three-dimensional map and scanning all the objects, he noticed something very different.

The figure shifted in an instant, and a stone mask resembling a human face was seen embedded in a sundial.

The faces were angry, and the places above the sundial that were supposed to be numbers had turned into strange lines that resembled hieroglyphs, representing various disasters.

At this time, the pointer on the sundial falls on the area that represents the earthquake because of the angle of the sun.

"What the hell is this?" Gu Shanhai stretched out his hand to touch it, and found that this sundial had no entity, or that what Gu Shanhai found was only its projection, and the real body was not here.

"Let's call it the Calamity Sundial for now, but what about its body?"

Gu Shanhai could be sure that the disaster in the whole world was caused by this sundial, as long as the hands on the sundial jumped, then it would cause a disaster somewhere.

As for whether it is true or not, Gu Shanhai is still waiting.

As time passed, the shadow on the sundial turned again, slowly moving from the location of the earthquake to the tsunami.

The figure of the Calamity Sundial is also gradually beginning to blur, perhaps because it is only a projection, and where the disaster is, then it will go.

After the disaster sundial completely disappeared, Gu Shanhai also instantly sensed that a violent tsunami had erupted in a certain sea area.

Gu Shanhai naturally came in an instant, but this time, he did not startle the snake, but found this disaster sundial again on a seabed in the deep sea.

Even if it is at the bottom of the sea in the dark, without the sun shining, this shadow-like pointer still exists.

"Perhaps, that's what it is." Gu Shanhai continued to collect data, and suddenly reacted, it was not that its body was not here, but that its body was a disaster.

"It's a big problem, so what should I do?"

Gu Shanhai is keenly aware that every time the disaster sundial causes a disaster, it will make itself grow, and it is precisely like this, the disaster is getting bigger and bigger, even if it can only be triggered once at the same time, it does not mean that it will be over when it is finished.

The subsequent troubles are the headaches.

"This thing, kind of like a rule?" Gu Shanhai was actually a little unsure, giving him the feeling that he was like a strengthened version of a saint and a degraded version of a god.

The ability is very rigid and powerful, that is, it simply triggers a disaster for a certain period of time.

"A completely new product, it should be the anomalous product formed by the chaotic and broken rules that were absorbed by the world at the beginning."

It's just that it feels like a strengthened version of the saint and a deteriorated version of the god, but in fact it's definitely not, but the sequelae that Gu Shanhai was worried about before.

A person's fracture is not treated in time, and the body's self-healing accommodates the original misaligned bones, resulting in a lesion or an erroneous recovery.

This is how the Calamity Sundial was born.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Calamity Sundial is just the beginning, and there will be more anomalies in the future."

In other words, these anomalies are the evolutionary types of the original mutant areas, which were originally based on the Great Ruins, but are now absorbed by the world and become a substitute for the gods.

This means that there is not only one anomaly in the world, but also many more anomalies are being born or dormant.

If it's just a god, in fact, there is still a way to live, because the gods don't care too much, and these anomalies are different, they themselves are born with disorder, and more importantly, there is no ego, anyway, this disaster sundial is this virtue, if it is a god, it can also communicate through words and interests to win opportunities, the disaster sundial itself is a dead thing that cannot communicate and has no entity, and it is impossible to interfere if you want to.

"You can only use magic against magic." Gu Shanhai actually had some ideas.

Since this thing itself is a rule, it is better to let the gods who are also rules take action.

He has two plans, one of which is to promote Wren from a sage to a god, but this will take time, at least until the server is closed, and the closure of the server means that the world has entered a stable period, and there will be no player influence at that time, and there will be a lot less variables.

The second plan is naturally the Sage Waterhole transformed by the Sages, Gu Shanhai wants to use this as a base point to form an existence against these anomalies, well, it is a patch, but it is a patch mixed with private goods.

If it is uploaded as a patch under normal circumstances, then these waterholes will not be biased towards Wren and the entire civilization itself, after all, whether they are alive or dead, they are actually fighting for the world, so they will be impartial, and if you want to use them, you have to mix in private goods.

The best-case scenario is for the two scenarios to be implemented together, with Wren becoming a god and the Sage Waterhole becoming a patch to assist, so that they can not only suppress these anomalies smoothly, but also exploit and exploit them.

During this period, Gu Shanhai naturally had enough gains, Ren became a god, Gu Shanhai was able to peek into the mystery of the regular life form of the gods, the sage waterhole became a patch, and Gu Shanhai was able to obtain the relevant data of the world's anomalies.

With these two hands of data, Gu Shanhai was not only able to fully utilize the remains of the gods of the god of fate, but also be able to optimize them to obtain abnormally related special powers.

Anomalies have a tremendous negative impact on the world and even civilization, but their destructive power cannot be denied.

Just like the fading of civilization, Gu Shanhai suspected that an anomaly was also at work, but Gu Shanhai couldn't trace the existence of the anomaly at all, unlike the calamitous sundial with corresponding traces.

If Gu Shanhai obtained the corresponding ability, even if he would be weakened if he left this world, it would be a big help.

"It seems that there are still traces of the disaster sundial." Gu Shanhai watched as the pointer on this sundial moved from the range of the tsunami to the heavy snow, and then disappeared.

It's just that even if the catastrophic sundial disappears, the tsunami in the sea area where he is located has not stopped, it has caused a disaster, there is a complete process, not to stop when you leave, but it will slowly subside like a tsunami, which is not an ability in essence, but a real tsunami.

Gu Shanhai didn't follow the Calamity Sundial to the next disaster site, it didn't make sense to him, because he couldn't find a way to deal with the Calamity Sundial, and he couldn't interfere, and there was no point in following the past.

"Fortunately, the world of the Adventure King is relatively large, enough for the entire Calamity Sundial scourge."

In this regard, it can only be said that the world is big enough for its waves, and if the world is smaller, with the frequency of disasters launched by the disaster sundial, it is estimated that everyone will have to follow suit.

After learning about the situation, Gu Shanhai naturally went back.

He didn't plan to look for other anomalies, because he couldn't find them at all, he was able to find the Calamity Sundial, on the one hand, because it was supported by data, and on the other hand, it was relatively abruptly detected by the spiritual sense, and it was replaced by other possible anomalies, and there were no clues, how could Gu Shanhai find it?

After going back, Ren also noticed Gu Shanhai, so he asked, "Teacher, are you back?" Did you find any clues? ”

"A being I call an anomaly." Gu Shanhai briefly summarized his findings and Rennes.

This made Wren frown, and his mind kept thinking about things: "In other words, teacher, do you suspect that the regression of our civilization is caused by some anomaly?" ”

"That's right, but I can't find it, and your words probably won't either." Gu Shanhai spoke very bluntly.

"Then you can't sit still, at least you have to work hard, now the entire civilization has lost a lot of technology, even the written word has disappeared by thirty percent, and the language is about to collapse, if you don't look for it, something will happen sooner or later." At this time, Wren was not communicating with Gu Shanhai using the original language system of the Adventure King world, but using the player language taught to him by Gu Shanhai, which is not a part of human civilization and belongs to outsiders, so its influence is limited.

"What about the player, do you have any understanding of the anomaly?" Gu Shanhai asked.

"No, I've posted bounties too, but it's not very effective." Wren has asked players to help investigate a long time ago, and there are some clues, but after verification, it is determined that it is only an oolong incident.

It's also normal for an oolong event to happen because the number of players is too large.

"Also, the number of players is losing, teacher, let's see if there are corresponding recovery measures." Wren asked a corresponding question.

"Churn? Regardless of that, after losing the adventure land, our production capacity disappeared directly, coupled with the appearance of anomalies, I am afraid that it will also affect the production of skill potions, so the loss of players is a good thing for us. ”

"The world has been severely overdrawn for almost two years, and it can't afford to support so many players."

Gu Shanhai naturally knew that the players had lost, because the rewards had dropped sharply during this period of time.

However, those players with big power and high contribution did not leave, and those who left were those with low contribution who could not get rewards.

Before he left, he had already started the business of contributing conversation skills, so some players were naturally preparing to leave early, and they couldn't really delay time for this reward.

Of course, this is also Gu Shanhai's way of sending away players in harmony, after the player consumes up the contribution, he will definitely leave, as for forcibly kicking out of the world, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the players, and the way to use it must be right.

"Has it reached such a grim point?" Wren knew that every reward was an astronomical amount of resources, but Gu Shanhai provided it in a timely manner every time, so he didn't notice it.

"Yes, you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, and when the ruins leave completely, the matter will be handed over to you to deal with, and you will know the difficulties." Gu Shanhai complained, don't look at the fact that every time they make a move, they are quite generous, in fact, the whole world is already tight, and after the remaining four months of rewards and player contributions, it is estimated that the resources they can call on are only a layer of skin.
