Chapter 6 The 'sucking' of the world, mission change
High in the sky, a blue meteor and a green rainbow fell side by side, and soon reached a distance of 50 kilometers from the surface.
But the closer he got to the surface, the more Ren felt an invisible suppression.
A thick, deep, mysterious sense of oppression comes from all directions, seemingly everywhere, imprisoning certain life forms living on this planet.
The scope of influence of Renn's domain - "Sea of Stars and Stars" has been squeezed and reduced by one-third, and it is still shrinking.
At the same time, he also felt that it would be more difficult to destroy mountains, rivers, land, and cut through the void than in space.
"Something's wrong."
Ren frowned and said, "I have never felt this kind of oppression before. I have flown high in the sky, and I have never felt like I was unchained."
This planet was transformed into the head of a sixth-level peak being who died. It is somewhat special and normal.
He estimated that even if Mr. Gai was here, he wouldn't be able to destroy the Spiritual Steam World.
Because the nature of this planet is truly extraordinary, both in terms of size and solidity, it far exceeds ordinary planets and cannot be penetrated by Gai Zong's "big light wheel".
Even ten large haloes will not work.
Even an ordinary sixth-level beginner would have a hard time blowing the head of a sixth-level peak being, even if the latter has fallen for a long time.
Lane recalled: "I lived in the Spiritual Steam World for more than a year, and I never felt this kind of invisible oppression."
"Perhaps, only fifth-level saints will be suppressed?"
Arturia felt the ubiquitous sense of confinement, pondered for a moment, and came up with her inference.
Compared to when she was in space, her storm field was also compressed. The Azure Storm continued to roar, but it still gradually shrank.
"Maybe, maybe--"
Ren was about to say something when his face suddenly changed and his voice stopped abruptly.
At the same time, Artoria's expression also changed, and she frowned and said: "I don't know why, but the speed of my life has accelerated several times!"
"About 6 times."
Ren's face was cold, his eyes shot out with silver light, he stared at his body surface intently, and said, "Actually, there was this sign in space just now, and it is much clearer now."
Within the extraordinary vision of the "Eye of Deception", he could see countless tiny regular chains in the void passing through his body.
His immortal golden body is very powerful, and every cell and every piece of flesh contains surging blood, like a furnace burning, like a horned dragon coiling around, but at this time, these strong blood and vitality are blocked by those ubiquitous rules.
Chains draw, flow and disappear into the void.
This speed is about 6 times faster than natural flow.
Artoria also observed herself with golden eyes, and quickly came to a conclusion, with a look of shock on her face, and said:
"These divine chains of rules that absorb our life force are almost everywhere. The void, atmosphere, sunlight, mountains, rivers... every corner of the planet is filled with this kind of power.
It is the world itself!"
In other words, it is the "world" itself that is "sucking" the vitality of her and Ren.
This kind of sucking seems to be aimed at fifth-level saints, but ordinary people are not affected.
Ren said coldly: "There is something I have never been able to figure out. Why is the lifespan of a human saint about 500 years?"
At the beginning of the fifth level, in the middle of the fifth level, at the high level of the fifth level and at the peak of the fifth level, the lifespan is 500 years.
This is very unreasonable.
Take Ren as an example. After he cultivates immortality, he can live for more than 3,000 years. This is the result he calculated in the OP world.
"After I become the main god, if I stay in the moon world, I should be able to live forever... In the OP world, I can also live for more than 5,000 years." Artoria said.
Wren asked: "How fast is your life passing by now?"
Artoria looked solemn: "Compared to the OP world, the speed is ten times faster. If this continues, I can live for about 500 years."
Renn: "..."
Another 500 years.
Well, some things are obvious.
In this world, there is some kind of special "restriction" that reduces the life span of human saints to about 500 years.
Ren's face was cold, his mind was working at high speed, sorting out the information he had.
This planet is the head of a certain sixth-level peak life form.
The consciousness of the world is the remnant soul in the head, which is muddy and unable to communicate.
The power of the rules of the world itself is suppressing and imprisoning the power and destructive power of the saint.
The power of rules of the world itself is sucking and plundering the vitality of fifth-level saints, limiting their lifespan.
The more Ren analyzed, the uglier his face became. In fact, 500 years is not a short period of time. He may live more than 3,000 years. Who wants to live only 500 years?
Moreover, this world is full of weirdness. In the past, my level was too low and I didn't notice it. This time, I broke through to the fifth level and realized how deep the water was.
There are some places that are simply terrifying to think about.
Ren and Artoria were both thinking about the anomalies in this world and did not speak. After a while, they had descended to an altitude of 10,000 meters.
It was night at this time, but with their eyesight, many things on the ground were still clearly visible.
In the center of the plain, there stands a large city. At night, the city is still brightly lit and very prosperous. The roads outside the city extend in all directions, and several inland rivers are like beautiful silver ribbons under the bright stars and moon.
This is the city of Merova, a shining pearl on the territory of the Kingdom of Falorland.
Ren stared at this beautiful and familiar night scene with some nostalgia, but he was not in a good mood at the moment and was in no hurry to go home.
Shock waves emerged from his palm, he pressed the void a few times, feeling the feedback, and said indifferently:
"The suppression has become stronger again. Compared to space, our destructive power on the surface is only about half of the original."
The only good thing is that everyone else is the same. As long as they live on this planet, they will be suppressed by the power of the world.
The difference is that ordinary people and extraordinary beings below the fifth level do not seem to be able to touch this "restriction" red line.
Artoria nodded, closed her eyes for a moment, and breathed a sigh of relief:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The speed of life span has also been fixed and will not speed up any more."
Even so, the feeling of being drained of life force is not pleasant.
It's not that it will hurt. The way the world "sucks" the life force of the saint is very natural and there will be no discomfort at all.
But who doesn’t want to live longer?
Ren frowned and said: "Why is it that only when you reach the fifth level, your life force will be sucked by the power of the world?"
He used the "Delusion-breaking Eye" to observe some ordinary workers and low-level transcendental beings in Merova City, and found that they were fine.
Those invisible and ubiquitous chains of special rules also pass through their bodies, but they do not absorb the vitality in their bodies.
Strange things.
"Maybe their life level is not enough?" Artoria said.
"possible."
Ren touched his chin and recalled the words of Elder Tian of the Natural School. He didn't know what he thought of, and a look of horror appeared on his face.
Artoria asked curiously: "What did you think of?"
"Do you think the world consciousness absorbing our life force is considered an eating behavior?"
"you mean……"
"Yes, Elder Anion said that his (world consciousness) essence is the remnant soul of the sixth-level peak life form. If he wants to resurrect, recover or reincarnate, then he can collect high-quality life energy
That’s excusable, right?”
"Bold speculation."
Arturia was shocked when she heard this, and said hesitantly, "But there seems to be a flaw in this speculation."
"What flaw?"
"Why doesn't He extract and limit the vitality of the demon descendant? The demon descendant does not have a lifespan limit of 500 years. A dark prince can be active for thousands of years even if he is not sleeping."
"..."
Ren was speechless for a moment.
This is really strange.
The suppression and confinement of power are treated equally. On the surface of the planet, the destructive power of humans and demons is greatly limited.
But in terms of lifespan, human saints seem to be targeted by the consciousness of the world. Even the most powerful human beings like the Storm God and the Sun King will be nothing more than a handful of loess after 500 years.
That's why it is said that the life span of a human saint is no more than 500 years. This is almost common sense.
To be honest, if Ren and Artoria hadn't calculated their lifespans in the OP world first, they might not have noticed the abnormality.
Because the power of the world is everywhere.
The indigenous people of this world may think that this speed of life passing is a normal phenomenon...
After thinking about it carefully, Ren shuddered and whispered:
"After we complete the (main plot) mission, let's leave this ghost place quickly."
The water in this broken world is too deep.
"Um."
Artoria also nodded.
This time their strength has greatly increased, and the advancement of the main mission can be accelerated.
Finish the mission quickly and leave here quickly. Maybe you won't have to encounter those unknown and terrible dangers.
[Reminder: Changes have occurred in the spiritual steam world, the strength of the favored ones has changed due to the early start of the trial mission, and the main mission has been changed.]
At this time, the system prompt sounded on time.
Renn: "..."
What the heck, are you changing the mission at this time?
Artoria: "..."
Suddenly I felt a little bad.
[All original side missions have been cancelled. You will no longer receive any rewards for killing Ghoul Duke Marcus and Ghoul Duke Tucker.
Note: These side tasks are no longer difficult and do not comply with the reward mechanism.]
Renn: "..."
Come on, the two points-boosting items are gone, and it makes me heartbroken just thinking about it.
However, this arrangement of the system also makes some sense.
He used mission points to open the dungeon mission in advance and boost his strength to the fifth level. At this time, it would be too easy to bully two ghoul dukes who were only at the peak of the fourth level.
It's pure cruelty.
According to the system's mechanism, rewards are directly proportional to difficulty.
The task of killing a mere Dark Duke was still difficult for Ren and Artoria before, but now it is a piece of cake.
[Main Mission 1 (Blessed Person No. 1): Kill Christian, the Demon Prince of the Demon Camp.]
[Main Mission 2 (Favorite No. 1): Kill at least one dark monarch within five years.]
[Main Mission 1 (Favorite No. 2): Kill any Prince of Darkness.]
[Main Mission 2 (Favorite No. 2): Within five years, kill or defeat at least one dark monarch.]
[Optional mission one: (available to all favored ones): When the world is promoted, pass through the Abyss of Heaven and go to other worlds with your own power.]
[Tip: After Ling·Steam World has swallowed up many "world fragments", it has reached the promotion standard. Ling·Steam World will begin promotion within ten years. Regardless of success or failure, its time and space coordinates will shift.]
…
After checking the mission, Ren communicated with his sister, looked at her perfect profile, and muttered: "Why do I feel that my mission is more difficult than yours?"
"really."
Artoria nodded and guessed, "Maybe it's because you are the No. 1 Favorite, so you are a bit special."
It seems that the tests and trials he has endured are indeed more difficult.
His luck seems to be very bad. Even now, he has not even been able to get a high-level [identity card], and his face is terrible.
Ren said a little aggrievedly: "My task is difficult, but the rewards don't seem to be as generous as yours."
Artoria: "..."
seems like it……
If you think about it seriously, in the OP world, the overall difficulty of several of his tasks is slightly higher than hers.
This is a bit unreasonable and does not comply with the operating regulations of the system.
Renn asked in his heart: [Uncle System, my trial tasks are always more difficult, why won’t the rewards increase?]
system:[……]
no respond.
Renn looked unhappy: [Speak, explain why quickly!]
Angry, is it easy to make some money by beating workers? The garbage system will target him.
system:[……]
Without a response, it was as if He was dead.
Ren couldn't help it anymore, and was angry in his heart: [What about the balance mechanism, your special principle of equivalent exchange? It is said that the danger is proportional to the reward, why don't you increase my reward? Speak up, mute!
]
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! System: […]
I don't know why, but still silent.
Renn: "..."
(▼ plate▼#)
(?e(#((O==(▔ Pan▔╬)?
What do you mean, treat them differently? Or is it just a dog looking down on others?
Ren's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he was about to explode. He greeted the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of this broken system.
Next to him, Arturia sweated, took his hand and said, "Okay, don't get excited, let's go home first."
She still maintains a sense of awe towards the system. It is absolutely an unimaginable creation and possesses incredible power.
But His reaction today was indeed a bit strange.
She feels vaguely discriminated against and disliked Ren... ahem, it must be her illusion.
"Hmph, then let him go today."
On the contrary, Lane lacks respect for the system.
He didn't get any help from the system in the early days. On the contrary, he was tricked to death. He felt unhappy and scolded Him severely.
That was when the system was restarted for the first time in the main world (before the Fourth Holy Grail War), and he was so excited that he sprayed him countless times. Of course, there was no response from the system.
You can be sure that there will be no punishment for scolding the system.
Of course, this is also "making use of a problem". Renn will not let go of the opportunity to test the system, especially since he showed something unusual today - the task he issued to him was very difficult, but the rewards did not increase accordingly. This is inconsistent with the operating mechanism.
A little inconsistent...
Just like that, Artoria dragged the cursing Lei with a speechless expression and flew towards Merova City.
…………
East of the city, villa area.
As a well-known wealthy area in this city, the streets here are all smooth asphalt roads, which are very clean. There are colorful flowers and bonsais placed on the roadside.
The security is also very good, there are often some police patrols, and the housing is basically two or three-story villas with small gardens.
"Yeah, finally home!"
Ren opened the door, entered the living room, and fell directly on the leather sofa, with a happy look on his face.
Relax your mind and body and don't think about those troublesome things just now. Anyway, facing the suppression and sucking of the world, there is no solution for the time being.
"Well, I'm back home, although it's only been a week here."
Arturia took off her combat boots, entered the living room, and hung her coat on the hanger. When she saw him hurriedly rushing to the sofa to lie down, she couldn't help but smile, her beautiful smile blooming like a hundred flowers.
This familiar and warm home made her mood change from a little depressed to a brighter one.
After playing several dungeons, it took more than a year and a half, but only a week has passed in Keling Steam World.
Although time here is not completely stagnant, the power of the system is also difficult to predict.
“It’s still comfortable to live here.”
Ren lay lazily on the sofa, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the peace of the moment.
Gold silver nest nest as their own kennel.
He loved this small villa far more than the palace of the Lionheart Kingdom.
This place was his and Kesha's love nest. It was here that the two officially began living together and settled on their marriage.
This is also where he and his cheap sister lived for half a year.
After returning home, Artoria went straight to the bedroom.
She took off her knight's leather armor, controlled her body, and returned to the posture of a young girl. She put on a casual white short-sleeved T-shirt, a black skirt and stockings before walking out of the bedroom.
When she came out, she found Ren lying lazily on the sofa, with his hands on his hips and said:
"Hurry up and make dinner. I'll clean the room. There's been some dust in the house over the past week."
"I haven't looked like this for a long time, and it looks a bit strange."
Seeing the cheap sister who had regained her girlish posture, Ren shrugged and complained.
Compared to the abstinent girl at this airport, he now feels that the sister with a C-cup cup, long legs, and the posture of a royal goddess is more attractive to the eyes.
"Go cook."
Artoria reached out and grabbed his ear, pulling him up from the sofa, "No slacking off, celebrate your return, at least twenty dishes tonight!"
You are not afraid of dying.
Ren cursed, not daring to express any opinions, and walked into the kitchen honestly.
Bargaining is not allowed except for food and drink.
Even if he wins the final battle in the OP world, he has been the head of the family for the past two years and has no say in the matter.
Renn cooks very quickly, and in a short while, delicacies that are full of color, flavor, and taste, such as bouillabaisse, chicken braised in red wine, foie gras, eel with watercress, black truffle and snowflake chicken, fish noodles with spicy pepper, etc., are on the table.
.
Artoria was so happy that she almost cried.
Looking at the cheap sister across the table who was quickly consuming the food without speaking to him, Renn shook his head.
The food intake is getting more and more amazing.
If he hadn't had some wealth, he would have been destitute.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Artoria, who had been concentrating on eliminating food, remembered the business and asked while cutting the steak:
"That Prince Christian is difficult to deal with, isn't he?"
Unlike her casually killing a dark prince, he must kill the demon prince.
"Um."
When mentioning this, Ren's face looked a little solemn, "The demons are back, and the situation is getting more and more dangerous. Most of the southern plain of the Kingdom of Falorland has been lost, and the head coach of the demon camp this time is Prince Christian!"
In comparison, Prince Milo is just a deputy."
For the always cool and domineering Prince Milo to give up his position as the head coach of the demon camp, one can imagine how powerful that old monster is.
"trouble."
Artoria sighed, "It seems that the reward is not so easy to get."
Not surprisingly, Prince Christian should be at the peak of the Dark Prince, even reaching the level of a monarch.
In other words, it is the peak of level 30, maybe one step into level 31, which is basically equivalent to the level of Star Sword Master.
Renn is still inferior to the Star Sword Master back then.
"Even so, I will kill him this time."
Ren's eyes were cold, as if he had thought of something, and he said, "I will go find Lucy Wilson tomorrow to get some information."
Artoria nodded: "Okay, I'll go too."
Her initial plan was to operate on Prince Milo, and it happened that Lucy also had information.
