Chapter 8: Rebirth by Spilled Blood
After the fall of Nidhogg, the rest of the venomous dragons also retreated.
Dawn City barely survived.
But the poison in the crowd has not been completely lifted.
The mouth cannot speak, and can only communicate through telepathy.
"The mysterious giant just now, and the big black ball above his head, look a little familiar......"
Felin said uncertainly.
"That guy, it can't be Allen's new atavistic form, right?"
"Quite possibly!" Tao Na chimed in, "I'm not surprised that Allen is a pervert, I won't be surprised if anything happens!" ”
Helent frowned slightly, held the holy emblem in her hand, recited the prayer silently, and launched the 5-ring "Psychic Technique".
"My lord, your humble apostle, I ask you a question."
Helen's prayer was answered by the "Lord of Light".
The first thing she desperately wanted to know was whether the mysterious giant who had just fought the legendary poison dragon Nidhogg and finally died together was Alan's atavistic form?
Soon, Helent got an affirmative answer.
"Senior sister! You ask His Highness Light again, is Eren dead? ”
Tauna urged eagerly.
"Dead, but not completely."
Helent's playful winks show that she is in a relaxed state of mind right now.
"Alan used 'cloning' to make a useful body in advance, and the moment he died with the legendary poisonous dragon, the soul broke away from the corpse and automatically transferred to the spare body, no big problem."
"That's good!" Fei Lin's long-hanging heart fell back into his stomach.
"Is Nidhogg dead?" Qinglan asked Helent.
"Unfortunately, no."
Helent shook her head and smiled wryly.
"The poison dragon has a regenerative physique, and its head was blown out by Allen, and it can grow new ones after a while."
Qinglan nodded and comforted her young colleagues:
"Nidhogg is not lightly injured and needs to recuperate, so he should not be harassed again in the near future."
"Now, I pray to my lord to rain healing to cleanse us of the toxins that have permeated the city, and by the way, to restore our senses!"
……
Stargazing Tower, Galaxy Guardian residential area.
The basement of the villa is filled with the smell of disinfectant potion.
A huge crystal coffin placed against the wall is filled with antiseptics.
A tall and toned young man, lying naked in a crystal coffin.
The eyes are closed, and the limbs that stretch out naturally are suspended in the liquid medicine, as if sleeping in the water.
In the silent secret room, there was a sudden fluctuation of magical power.
The crystal coffin glowed pale.
The concentration of negative energy is soaring.
There seems to be some kind of void revenant, rapidly approaching.
The man in the crystal coffin suddenly opened his eyes.
Goo-goo......
Two strings of air bubbles are expelled from the nostrils.
Appears to have gills-like organs that are able to breathe normally in the water.
Naked man, calmly raising his muscular arms.
Press the lid of the crystal coffin with both hands and push it from the inside.
Click!
The lid is open.
The naked man stood up from the culture fluid and walked out.
On the opposite wall, there is a floor-to-ceiling mirror.
The naked man walked up to the mirror, looked at his body, and nodded in satisfaction.
"The 8-ring 'cloning technique' is really magical."
Alan muttered to himself.
The new flesh has the same attributes as before.
Just because of the lack of light for a long time, the complexion appears whiter and more tender.
Alan spread out his left hand, and bone spurs popped out of his palm.
Pierced the thumb of his right hand and squeezed out a drop of blood.
Use blood as a spell casting material to perform "cloning".
A moment later, the drops of blood turned into a complete body and lay flat in a crystal coffin.
Alan closes the lid and allows the new clone to lie dormant in the Petri dish.
If one day he hangs up again, his soul can fuse the clone in the crystal coffin and come back to life.
In the storage bag, there are spare clothes and pants.
But Alan was too lazy to wear it, so he directly opened the eighth-order atavistic and turned into a gluttonous form.
Cast "Otherworldly Teleportation" to return to the Underworld.
Eren intends to teleport directly to the Styx Maelstrom.
Unfortunately, the 7-ring "Otherworldly Teleportation" cannot be accurately located.
The teleportation point was located above the riverbank, a full 300 miles away from its destination.
Usually transmitted, the error is too large and can be tolerated.
If you encounter an emergency, you will miss a big event!
"This won't work!"
Alan was not satisfied with the accuracy of the "Otherworldly Teleportation".
You still have to do it yourself, spend some potential, and fuse a more accurate and reliable cross-dimensional teleportation skill, so that you can use it with confidence.
Retracting his thoughts, Alan cast the "Thousand Miles of Leisure" and teleported directly to the depths of the Styx Matrodge.
Since fusing the blood of the nine-headed poisonous dragon, Eren has gained resistance to the waters of the River Styx.
Drink the water of the River Styx directly, and you will not lose your memory.
The vortex is actually a portal that leads to a secret space at the bottom of the River Styx, the lair of the Poison Dragons.
At this time, led by the legendary poison dragon Nidhogg, all the dragon sons and grandsons in the secret realm gathered around the teleportation array.
One by one, they lowered their heads, looked respectful, and put on a posture of waiting for the arrival of distinguished guests.
In the teleportation array, a beam of light rises.
A majestic and toned figure slowly emerged.
Body of Titans!
Behemoth's Claw!
Poisonous dragon long hair!
All kinds of distinctive features show that this person is the distinguished guest that the dragons have been waiting for for a long time.
Or rather, the "suzerain" of the Poison Dragons.
The dragons bowed their heads and showed their heartfelt reverence for the young man who had inherited the origin of the ancestor Leviathan.
The legendary poison dragon Nidhogg is not so reserved.
Bared his teeth, he complained to Allen:
"Sect Master! Is it necessary to play so big? I almost gave my life to you, and now I'm in pain! ”
Alan stepped out of the teleportation array, walked up to the old dragon, and replied with a smile:
"I focus on a truth, don't do a full set of tricks, how can Master Qinglan believe it, I have done my best."
This morning, he came to the Poison Dragon Secret Realm to reveal his identity as the Leviathan Sect Master.
At first, the poisonous dragons didn't buy this skinny human youth.
Until Eren opens the Transcendent Realm and exerts bloodline suppression on the unruly poisonous dragons.
The happiest poisonous dragon degenerated into a dragon egg in an instant.
The eggshell was popped by Allen's finger, and the egg liquid splashed everywhere!
When the dragons saw this scene, they all trembled with fright.
Led by the patriarch Nidhogg, they collectively swore allegiance to Lord Alan Panthers, the new suzerainty of the Leviathans.
At the same time, another group of poisonous dragons was besieging Twilight City.
Alan had wanted to bring them back.
On second thought, however, it didn't do me much good.
He has already taken over the task of defending Twilight City, and if he doesn't go to Twilight City to fight with the poisonous dragons, he won't get a meritorious reward.
So, Alan told Nidhogg about his idea.
Nidhogg is also a treacherous and slippery guy, and after hearing Allen's plan, he immediately said that he would arrange for his children and grandchildren to cooperate with him in a good show.
"Sect Master, with your identity, beating a few little dragons is too boring, and you won't earn much merit."
"It's better for me to come forward in person, accompany you through a few moves, and finally lose and show your courage and strength in front of everyone."
"You've defeated the legendary poison dragon, that's a great achievement! You will definitely be able to earn a lot of merit and be appreciated by your boss! ”
When Alan heard this, he felt the same way.
conspired with the old poisonous dragon, and in front of Qinglan and others, he put on a good show.
Eren was reborn in the crystal coffin and handed in the task by the way.
Sure enough, as expected by the old poisonous dragon, the task reward is super doubled!
Not only that, but Eren also faked it, drawing blood from Nidhogg, as well as the legendary Leviathan toxin.
The former is a special ingredient at the legendary level, and the latter makes Allen's poison resistance directly upgraded to the legendary level!
"Sect Master! I specially picked a golden apple in Twilight City and presented it to the Sect Master! ”
The old poisonous dragon opened its mouth, and the tip of its tongue held up a glowing golden fruit.
Didi –
"Discover the Legendary Anomalous Ingredient: World Tree Fruit!"
The system prompts a surprise for Allen.
Pat the old poisonous dragon and show approval.
Alan took the golden fruit, wiped it, and chewed it heavily.
The texture is crisp and sweet, like eating an apple.
"Eat a Strange Ingredient: World Tree Fruit!"
"Physique +2!"
"Spirit +2!"
"Potential +10!"
……
Drawing Nidhogg's blood before, it also brought 10 potentials to Allen, and his agility and mental attributes were increased by two points each.
Current attributes: Physique 116, Dexterity 100, Spirit 127
Current Resistances: Immunity to Shock/Acid Etching/Aging, Spirit Tier 10 (Distraction Meditation), Virus Tier 10/Sonic Wave Tier 7/Cold Tier 9/Fire Tier 7/Eclipse Tier 8/Radiance Tier 5
Potential Reserve: 51 points
……
The fruit of the World Tree is also one of the key medicinal materials for refining high-level anti-aging agents and rejuvenating agents.
Eren eats a fruit and is able to synthesize the medicinal components of the fruit from the poison glands.
In the future, refining the 4th and even 5th order frozen age and rejuvenation elixirs can save a lot of trouble.
"Sect Master, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."
The eyes of the old poisonous dragon flashed with a cunning brilliance.
"What's the matter, just say it." Alan said indifferently.
"The sect master is in the Holy Demon Ancestral Court, and his identity is the Star River Guardian."
"It stands to reason that our Poison Dragon Clan should also return to the Holy Demon Ancestral Court, and no longer harass Twilight City from now on."
"However, in this way, you will not have the task of defending Dawn City and expelling the poisonous dragon in the future, which may not be a good thing."
Alan heard the meaning of the old poisonous dragon's words.
It's better to be full than full.
Since the poisonous dragon cooperates, it can come from time to time to brush up on a wave of meritorious deeds, why cut off this source of wealth?
The words "raising self-respect" came to mind in his mind.
"Before attacking Twilight City in the future, remember to ask me for instructions."
"You guys are acting outside the city, just find a chance to gnaw a few bites of the roots of the World Tree to satisfy your hunger, it's best not to hurt people."
Eren turned and walked over to the teleporter.
For some reason, he could vaguely feel ......
The faith and will of the residents of Dawn City split into two streams, flowing to the Emerald Court and the Heavenly Tower.
The two major churches in the city are holding sacraments to thank the "Goddess of Life" and the "Lord of Light" to protect their city from the poisonous dragon.
As for the truth behind this attack, they will never know.
The prayers of the believers are transformed into wishing power, which is gathered on the idols they worship and enhances their divine power.
Alan deeply suspected that if Dawnlight City was no longer threatened by the Poison Dragon Clan, the Life Church and the Holy Light Church in the city would probably have internal strife in order to compete for believers.
There is no foreign patient in the country who will die, and it is a wise saying.
From this point of view, raising oneself is actually putting continuous external pressure on Xiguang City to avoid the intensification of internal contradictions.
Thinking about it like this, Alan couldn't help but be deeply moved by his noble moral sentiments, worthy of being a good man of Panthers!
Alan further speculated that the mistress of the Emerald Court should have the ability to drag Dawn City from the underworld back to the fairy wilderness.
But she didn't, leaving Dawn City to the underworld.
Let only the World Tree Roots act as a lifesaver, hanging the city above the Styx Vortex and putting it in a precarious situation for a long time.
In this precarious environment, the residents of the city are under tremendous mental pressure.
Only with the help of religious beliefs to relieve the pressure, and to gain the courage to struggle for survival in one prayer after another.
Without suffering, there is no faith.
On the contrary, creating suffering without suffering and putting people on the verge of despair is indeed an effective strategy.
If anyone doubts that the suffering he has endured is intentional by the gods, it is a manifestation of ungodliness.
Taking a step back, the gods can also claim that people suffer because they have violated taboos or because of original sin.
The reason why Twilight City fell into the underworld is the result of the long-term depravity and unrepentance of the inhabitants of the city.
Only by remaining religious in the midst of suffering can we atone for our sins, purify our souls, and ultimately be saved by God.
This set of rhetoric can be described as impeccable.
Throughout the ages, various religions have used similar methods to discipline their followers, and they have tried and failed.
Allen admitted that he was psychologically dark, and he may have blamed Luo Tianhua for it.
However, once these suspicions arise, it is impossible for him to have a pure worship of the gods and to become a believer in any sect.
Even more ironic......
Alan also felt that another force of faith was converging on him.
Wishing power, from the poisonous dragon clan.
The ancestor Leviathan, who is also the mother goddess worshipped by the poisonous dragon clan, belongs to the oldest group of racial gods in the warlock world.
The war between the gods and the ancestors was actually more of a confrontation between gods and gods.
On one side is the abstract idea of God.
On one side is the specific god of the race, or the god of personality.
It's just that most of the latter have the identity of the ancestor of a family.
Race gods cannot cross the boundaries of race and generalize to the universal realm.
This is the essential difference between a race god and an idea god.
Projected onto secular life, the former points to nationalism, the latter to internationalism.
The bloody conflict in human history is the result of the intensification of the contradiction between the two mentioned above.
The Progenitor Leviathan has long since left the world of warlocks.
Eren inherited the origin of the ancestors, and also inherited the identity of idols, and won the worship of the poisonous dragon clan.
It's a pity that he doesn't have the "source of divine power", which is commonly known as "divinity".
"Divinity" is the vessel that holds the power of faith.
Eren has no divinity, like a leaky teacup, unable to absorb and harness the power of faith and will of the poisonous dragons.
"Nidhogg, how can the Sect Master gain divinity?"
Alan asked softly.
The legendary poison dragon groaned, and his expression became extremely serious.
"I only know two ways."
"First, try to hunt divine creatures, at least at the level of demigods, and seize the source of the opponent's divine power."
Alan frowned slightly.
Demigod with the same strength as the suzerain.
Eren is only a half-tone sect master.
The actual cultivation is only the eighth order.
Challenging the demigods is purely looking for death.
Nidhogg read his thoughts, and continued:
"In addition to hunting demigods, Sect Master, you might as well take the time to go back to the Ancestral Court, there may be something you want there."
"Ancestral ......"
Alan quickly recalled the fragment of memory he had obtained when he fused with the origin of the Ancestor Leviathan.
"Nidhogg, do you mean the ancestral court of the Progenitor Leviathan?"
"Not bad! I was born in the River Styx and have never been to the Ancestral Garden, but since I was a child, I have heard my elders talk about that place, and I have longed for it......"
"It's a pity that I don't have the key to enter the ancestral courtyard, and even if I find the entrance, I can't get in."
The old poisonous dragon sighed, his eyes a little melancholy.
"Since the ancestor left, the ancestral court has been deserted, Sect Master, to this day, your people are still guarding the ruins of the ancestral court, looking forward to your return."
"According to the elders, in the depths of the ruins, there are sacred artifacts left by the ancestors, and only the ancestors are qualified to inherit this inheritance."
"Leviathan Ancestral Court...... "Alan looked up at the sky, "is it in the Water Elemental Realm?" I can't remember exactly where it is, Nidhogg, can you show me the way? ”
"Of course we're happy to help!" The old poisonous dragon said without thinking.
Alan nodded, straddled the back of the legendary poisonous dragon, and went to the water elemental realm through the secret realm teleportation array.
In addition to visiting the ruins of the Leviathan Ancestral Garden, Alan also had another purpose.
Settle the believers of the ancient gods by the way, and create a cult community in the water element world.
This task is extremely difficult!
Intelligence shows that the cult leader is likely to be a legendary monster!
Alan was still hesitating to investigate the Deep Sea Cult single-handedly, would it be too reckless?
Now that he has the legendary poisonous dragon as his bodyguard, he has confidence in his heart.
