Ji Yun's conjecture made Su Nian feel creepy.

If this conjecture is the underlying truth, the challenges facing the future of the planet and humanity are far more serious than imagined.

The crisis in the eyes of all mankind at this stage mainly comes from the conscription of the God of Purgatory.

Constant conscription has disrupted the existing social order and caused serious unrest.

Recently, with the increasing frequency of the purgatory god's recruitment of all human beings, more and more human beings have been sent to the decaying world, which has also caused human beings to experience a transformation of the social structure.

Some scholars have speculated that one day, all mankind will become pawns of the Purgatory God in his conquest of the corrupt world, and then the entire clan will be buried in the rotten battlefield in the endless war.

Although that day is far away, as long as the purgatory god's call for humanity does not stop, it will inevitably come.

But now it seems that there may be an even bigger hidden crisis.

That is the devouring and merging of the earth by the corrosive world!

He felt that this potential crisis was already known to the upper echelons of the Terrans, but it had not been disclosed to the public.

After all, he had only explored the Corrupt World twice, and the information he could collect about the Corrupt World was definitely not as much as that of the high-level Terrans.

As for why the truth is concealed, it may be that the news of the imminent end of the world will cause panic in all mankind, causing violent social upheaval and even the collapse of order.

A similar situation occurred in the early days of the conscription era.

During that period, a large number of extraordinary human beings with physical qualities far beyond ordinary people emerged in society, and they used the abilities acquired by the corrupt world at will in society, causing serious security problems.

There was also an organization called the "New Humans", which gathered a group of transcendent humans who thought they were above the existing order.

The turmoil, which lasted for two years, became known as the "Conscription Rebellion" and even affected the change of the world pattern.

Before that, Tiandu City was not called Tiandu City, but Tiandu Kingdom.

The series of problems brought about by the Age of Conscription led the nations of the world to cooperate and form the Transcendent Human Surveillance Investigation Team.

In addition to ordinary people, there is also a group of conscripted fighters who are willing to maintain the world order.

Subsequently, the cooperation between the countries of the world deepened, and in the face of the crisis of human continuity brought about by the decaying world, the concept of the state was canceled and became a city, which is now the Earth City Alliance.

Among them, Tiandu City is the largest city in the Earth Alliance, accounting for 8.6% of the world's total population.

But in the early days of the Earth Alliance, there were also a series of behaviors that seemed very confusing to outsiders.

For example, the construction of walls to completely envelop cities under the towering walls.

At this time, after reading the content on the stone tablet, a conjecture suddenly appeared in Su Nian's mind.

Perhaps the human hierarchy has long been aware of the erosion of the earth by the corrosive world, and a series of seemingly confusing behaviors are all preparing for the arrival of that day.

The stele depicts that during the merger of the Decay World with the Earth, a large number of Decay monsters will descend.

The towering walls may be designed to ward off the decaying monsters that will descend in the future, creating a shelter for humanity to survive.

This is the potential reason why countries around the world put aside resource disputes, resolve internal contradictions amicably, and join forces to establish the Earth Cities Alliance.

If you think about it from this perspective, it seems to make sense.

Taking a deep breath, he stopped thinking about the question.

Individuals are as small as ants, insignificant in the face of the torrent of the times, and they can't change anything.

looked up at Ji Yun, who was still frowning and studying the contents of the stone tablet:

"Ah Yun, don't look at it, the point card on your head is still burning, hurry up and open the coffin to find resources...... Even if you guess the answer correctly, we can't influence the future of the planet. ”

"The future of mankind is everyone's responsibility...... But before we can figure out the answer, we have to hurry up and get stronger, and open the coffin first. ”

Coming to the sarcophagus, Ji Yun squatted down and pressed his shoulders against the corner of the sarcophagus:

"Hand on."

Seeing this, Su Nian immediately came to the other corner of the sarcophagus, and after holding it with his shoulder, he exerted his strength at the same time as Ji Yun.

However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not push the sarcophagus open.

"Another way."

Su Nian took a step back at this time, raised the serrated knife in his hand and slashed at the sarcophagus.

With the sound of metal colliding, the faint spirit pattern on the surface of the sarcophagus shimmered, but quickly extinguished.

This time a gap was cut on the surface of the sarcophagus, Su Nian raised the serrated knife to observe carefully, and found that the quality of the serrated knife was very reliable, and there was no damage after the collision with the sarcophagus.

Determined that it was feasible, Su Nian immediately rolled up his sleeves and started drying.

After a violent smash, the sarcophagus cracked, and a strong rancid smell permeated, and Su Nian subconsciously held his breath.

His eyes looked through the gap in the sarcophagus, and by the glow of the waning moon, he saw a completely decomposed corpse inside the sarcophagus.

"What's in there?" Ji Yun couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I'll see."

Holding back the stench, Su Nian reached out and picked up the necklace around the neck of the corpse.

【Evil Mind Necklace (Broken)】:

Equipment quality: excellent

Equipment Introduction: Due to excessive erosion by corrosive forces, the equipment has been damaged and cannot provide any effect, and can only be used for sacrificial decomposition.

Throwing the evil necklace into the space bag, Su Nian continued to explore.

There were three pieces of equipment on the corpse, namely the armor worn on the body, the necklace worn around the neck, and a disc weapon placed beside the body.

All three items were damaged due to their inability to carry excessive corrosive forces.

Fortunately, it is still valuable, at least it can be taken back to the ruined temple for decomposition.

It is conceivable that the life inside the sarcophagus is obviously not able to bear the excessive corrosive force, resulting in the complete decay and death of the body.

Jumping off the sarcophagus, Su Nian took out the three pieces of equipment from his space bag and looked at Ji Yun:

"I'll take these three pieces of equipment first, my extraordinary talent needs to devour the equipment to grow, and then I will share your embers after returning to Purgatory City and sacrificing the items I don't need."

This time, Ji Yun did not refuse, nodded immediately, and then smiled:

"It's okay, you use it first...... I didn't expect your extraordinary talent to grow through devouring equipment, but it is easy to cultivate, but it is very difficult for my extraordinary talent to grow. ”

"What's the difficulty?"

Faced with the inquiry, a touch of helplessness appeared on Ji Yun's face:

"If I want to upgrade my time control to level 2, I need to devour a very rare material, Time Stone, the price of this kind of material in Purgatory City is not low, at this stage, I can't afford to buy one for the income of exploring a decaying world, it is said that there are more spiritual materials like this in the inner city, but the price is also very scary, and the price there is higher than that in the outer city."

Speaking of this, Ji Yun's words changed, and a smile resurfaced on his face:

"But there are many good things, although it is difficult to be promoted, but I am very satisfied with the strength of my time control ability."

"You're so optimistic."

The "Time Stone" in Ji Yun's mouth is no stranger to Su Nian, he has seen it when he learned about the Decaying World on the Internet.

This is already the top type of corrosion resource among the resources explored by human beings at this stage, and the price is very high.

He remembered that the most ordinary quality time stone had a price of more than 30,000 embers.

It can only be said that Ji Yun is lucky, but at the same time, he is a little unlucky.

Luckily, he took the time to control the extraordinary talent, this kind of talent he hadn't even seen in the official talent pool, and it was definitely an S-level talent ability.

Unfortunately, this is a talent that has a late force.

The process of cultivating talents is even more bottomless, requiring a huge amount of embers to buy spirit ore resources to feed talent upgrades.

But compared to those extraordinary talents with strange promotion methods, at least you can buy the resources needed to cultivate talents in Purgatory City.

Su Nian once saw a post asking for help from a recruited soldier on the Internet, and the extraordinary talent obtained by this recruited soldier was called "Cultivation Immortality".

The ability effect is that during the opening of the extraordinary talent, enter the state of meditation and cultivation, continuously absorb external energy and transform, and obtain continuous permanent all-attribute improvement.

When this ability first broke out on the Internet, it caused quite a stir.

After all, meditation can become stronger, and such extraordinary abilities are comparable to plug-ins.

And this extraordinary talent has no restrictions on its use, and it does not need to devour resources, and it can enter the state of cultivation and becoming stronger anytime and anywhere.

The problem is that the promotion method of this talent is very strange, and it requires a recruited warrior who has mastered this ability to go through a hundred years of cultivation before he can be promoted to the second rank.

The strict cultivation requirements made the Recruit Warrior who had obtained this ability explode, and he chose to seek help on the Internet, hoping to get a way to shorten his talent promotion.

In the end, I found a solution.

This conscripted warrior found that cultivating in scenarios of different difficulties would give him completely different cultivation results.

If the cultivation effect of Purgatory City is regarded as 1, then the cultivation effect on Earth is 0.05, the cultivation effect in the decaying world of the waning moon difficulty is 5, and the cultivation effect in the second quarter moon one-star world is 30.

The second quarter moon is already the limit that the recruited warrior can explore, and the cultivation effect of the higher difficulty world is unknown for the time being.

If you want to shorten the cultivation time of a hundred years, you must step into a decaying world scene of higher difficulty to cultivate.

This conscription ability is also jokingly called the "Burning Life Cultivation Method" by netizens, and the growth rate is much slower than that of those conscription soldiers who use embers to buy equipment skills by consuming ember point cards in exchange for strength growth.

Maybe the ceiling of the future is high, but in the crisis-ridden battlefield of decay, it can be called a chicken rib.

The Burning Shou cultivation method was just one of the strange promotion methods that Su Nian had learned.

There is also a transcendent talent that impresses him, "Death Enlightenment".

Compared with the cultivation of immortals, the promotion path of this innate ability is even more bizarre, requiring the conscription of warriors to perceive death in a near-death state, so as to control the power of death.

That's just it, but there are ways to crack it.

Drafted warriors who received this extraordinary talent chose to seek official help, hoping to enter a near-death state through medical means to realize the power of death.

However, after several attempts in the real world, each time he was pulled back from his near-death state, the Levy Warrior did not realize the power of death mentioned in the talent introduction, and finally had to give up.

The follow-up was a vicious battle in the process of exploring the decaying world, and he almost died, during which he felt a trace of the power of death.

A follow-up speculation was given on the Internet about the situation of the conscripted soldier.

He believes that his state of mind is the key factor affecting the perception of death, and before entering a near-death state in the real world, he already knew that he would be rescued from the death line, so he did not have the fear and confusion that he should have when facing death.

This is completely different from the state of mind in the near-death state of the decaying world.

The final conclusion is that only a true near-death experience can perceive the power of death, and that cheating is not feasible.

This promotion path has caused a lot of discussion on the Internet, the ability given by the realization of death is very strong, but the way of promotion is too outrageous.

Trying to die is like stepping on a tightrope in the air, and if you are not careful, you will die completely.

Every time I feel the process, I am gambling with my life.

In addition to these two extraordinary talents, there are also a large number of bizarre talent promotion methods on the Internet, which are collectively referred to as "Purgatory God's Jokes".

In contrast, although Ji Yun's extraordinary talent has harsh promotion conditions, fortunately, the promotion method is not strange.

After a short break, Su Nian continued to break open the remaining two sarcophagi and harvested six pieces of broken and sophisticated equipment again.

At this time, there are 8 slots left in his 20 space bags that can carry decaying items, among which the corrosive aura obtained from killing the bone warrior can be accumulated and stacked in the same slot.

Just as he was about to continue heading towards the city with Ji Yun, the sarcophagus that had broken through the gap trembled violently, and a circular complex trajectory around the three sarcophagi appeared on the ground.

Seeing this, Su Nian immediately pulled Ji Yun back a few steps and put on a defensive posture.

Rumble!

When the circular spirit trail was lit, a pitch-black spherical mist appeared above the three sarcophagus, but there were no other accidents.

Seeing this scene, a conjecture came to Su Nian's mind.

He took a step forward and tentatively made contact with the spherical mist with the serrated knife in his hand.

The moment the tip of the sawtooth knife came into contact with the mist mass, the blood-colored flames suspended above his head burned violently, and a blood-colored air flow surged down his body towards the mist mass, and the mist pattern was suddenly transformed into a burning blood-colored fireball.

At the same time, a faction hint sounded in my head:

[Faction Tip (Purgatory City): Successfully Destroy (Occupy) the Corroded Branch Node in Blood City (1/5)]

Hearing the camp prompt, Su Nian immediately understood what the source of corrosion in the city was.

According to the Internet, the process of destroying the source of corrosion has different ways of destruction in different scenarios.

According to the written records on the stele, fifteen sarcophagi were created for the sacrifice, and if every three sarcophagi correspond to a source branch node, it is exactly five branch nodes.

Next, it seems that all you need to do is find the coffin to destroy it, and you can complete the side quest to destroy the source of corrosion.

"I didn't expect the task of destroying the corroded node to be so easy." Ji Yun couldn't help but sigh.

Su Nian was about to open his mouth to respond, when a new prompt sound sounded in his mind:

[Faction Hint (Shadow City): If you find the occupied Corrosion Branch Node, whether to cover it and connect it to Shadow City, complete the coverage of all Branch Nodes, and capture a Corrosion Source Node to obtain a continuous Corrosion Energy Gain (0/5). 】

"Good guys!"
