Although he encountered a misunderstood episode that almost turned Chen Rui into a street rat, after the incident, the misunderstood "apprentice" finally passed through the town of Isildur and got on the carriage heading to the imperial capital. ("
》)
The time along the way was the most boring, but since the carriage was hired separately at the inn, he was the only one in the carriage, and he was just in time to enter the super system of practice.
What surprised Chen Rui was that the super system had undergone some changes recently.
Just looking at some data, you should feel happy.
Title: Yuxingjun
Evolution level: five stars
Experience value: 1%
Aura value: 26.3 million
Comprehensive strength evaluation:a-
The experience value has increased by one percent. Don't underestimate this one percent. It has always been zero. This means that his "transformation" has truly taken the first critical step.
All in all, this one percent should have appeared after the battle between Pagliu and the Crystal Dragon, that is, after the blood sea space incident. He did not practice during this period. Could it be... with that kind of fusion and destruction?
Is it related to the perception of power?
Not only has the experience changed, but the number of faith crystals in the Tower of Faith has increased to more than 2,500. Before the bloody evil, there were only more than 900. This increase is still accelerating.
A thousand faith crystals can already be used to perform the strongest five-star combat skill "Star Transformation". When reaching 10,000, one can also use spiritual links to permanently strengthen the star level. The growth of faith crystals is a very gratifying phenomenon.
The reason for such rapid growth is that the population reproduction rate of the blue planet has greatly accelerated, the population has increased a lot, and the number of believers has naturally increased greatly. The time in this galaxy is different from the outside, and it feels like "a day in the sky, a thousand years on the earth"
, of course, under normal circumstances, it is still relatively stable. It is only when Chen Rui's perceptions and encounters undergo certain changes that there will be corresponding larger changes.
The ten kinds of faith originally set up were divided into ten independent pillars of faith. However, what shocked Chen Rui was that in addition to the pillar of war created by Shura, new pillars of faith sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Wealth
, lust, killing, disaster, fear...
"Shura!" Chen Rui roared angrily.
Shura's figure condensed in the Star Temple. Chen Rui could feel that Shura's figure seemed to have become much stronger. If there was any difference between the face that was exactly the same as Chen Rui's, it was the blood color in the pupils, as if
...like a sea of blood. ("")
Chen Rui vaguely remembered that when he incarnated as "Destruction" in that strange space and devoured power, he seemed to have a kind of pupil. This kind of temperament was not for "seeing", but for "feeling".
Could it be...
"Do you like these Pillars of Faith?" Before he could speak, Shura's voice sounded: "I know what you want to say, but this is not my masterpiece, but yours."
Chen Rui was startled and heard Shura say: "The cause of the matter was the powerful aura you swallowed that day. As you can see, my strength also increased because of it. As for these pillars of faith... they
It's only a matter of time that it appears, but it's just sped up a bit because of this aura. Just like this planet illuminated by the light of a star, it has light on the front and darkness on the back. No matter which trajectory it turns, it cannot be avoided.
at this point."
As Shura said, he suddenly paused and showed a strange smile: "Do you want to become a god?"
"What do you mean?" Chen Rui frowned.
"You can eliminate all the beliefs you don't like from the source of belief, and turn these lives into puppets and playthings that only live according to your will and provide a source of power of belief, just like the creatures in the kingdom of gods.
.These are some things I have remembered recently." Shura pointed to his head, and his weird smile became even wider.
Chen Rui remembered the words of the King of Water Elements, "All life is just a plaything in the eyes of the gods." He fell silent, and then replied after a long while: "I want to have the power of a god to protect the things I cherish, instead of
Playing with the will of all creatures at will."
"According to the words in your memory, if you want to be a bitch, don't even think about erecting a memorial arch!" Shura laughed, with disdain and ridicule in his laughter.
Chen Rui calmed down, looked directly at the other "self", and asked: "You seem...to want me to directly erase the source of these beliefs?"
"Very keen insight," Shura nodded without hiding it, "It doesn't hurt to tell you. The Tower of Faith represents some mysterious supreme rule. Every time you erase a belief, you will take a step closer to the direction I want.
, which is equivalent to taking a step closer to the shortcut to peak power. As long as you continue step by step in this way, it won't be long before you can truly stand on top of the peak, overlooking everything, as if... you are standing on this planet now.
Like a temple!”
It turns out that there is such a consequence. It seems that the faith in the source of faith cannot be acted rashly, otherwise it is easy to lose yourself.
Chen Rui shook his head resolutely and said one sentence after another: "I will definitely stand on the true peak, but I will go my own way. The latest chapter of the Holy Temple"
"Stupid! All roads in the world lead to the same destination by different paths. You are just trying to get into trouble by taking detours like this."
"It's useless. No matter what you say, you can't shake my true intention." Chen Rui suddenly smiled, "I'm thinking that you really want me to follow the path you arranged. You just want me to lose my true intention step by step.
If I keep insisting on my heart, does it mean that you will eventually fail and disappear completely?"
"Humph!" Shura's face darkened, and a cold light shone in his red pupils: "You smart guy! Let me tell you, you have no choice. If you erase these dark beliefs, then I will use the law of
The power will occupy your heart step by step; but if you don't do this, under the dark faith, my power will also become stronger and stronger!"
Chen Rui remained silent, and Shura's voice became more and more ferocious: "Perhaps it won't be long before the power of darkness will completely envelope the entire galaxy, and everything will be wiped out in destruction. Just like in your memory... the Nordic myth "Gods"
"The Dusk" is the same."
Chen Rui frowned even more tightly. Twilight of the Gods is the most famous myth in Northern Europe. In the story, not only the human world was destroyed, but all the gods and their homes were also completely destroyed in this tragic and cruel war.
, the burning of the World Tree even destroyed the entire universe.
It was not until much later, with the rebirth of the World Tree, that a new order began to be reestablished.
Chen Rui couldn't help but ask: "Why do you want to destroy everything? Isn't your purpose to occupy my will or the entire Star Temple?"
"Occupy your will... It is also to destroy, not only this super system, but also the outside world... This is the meaning of my existence..." Amidst the laughter, Shura's shadow became thinner and thinner, and finally disappeared.
No trace.
If Chen Rui realized something, he took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly. He never expected that the experience in the blood sea space would turn into a new huge test.
Shura is by no means an alarmist, and even without those terrifying auras of devouring, as long as Shura doesn't really disappear, this day will come sooner or later.
Refining the heart is still refining the heart. It has nothing to do with realm or strength, but a battle between oneself and oneself.
This time Chen Rui did not hesitate or hesitate at all. Human growth is originally a process of constantly fighting against oneself.
Perhaps this kind of battle with oneself will continue throughout life, but after this "war" is over, there should be a real end to Shura.
This is also the last battle with Shura.
Chen Rui thought of the strange flowers obtained by Blood Sea, and entered the Star Garden with a thought.
This kind of strange flower should have strong energy. Why not try planting it in the Star Garden?
However, when Chen Rui put the Blood Sea Flower (tentative name) into the Star Garden, there was no prompt to find a new plant. Instead, another prompt appeared: "Unknown corrosive energy is found. If it needs to be forced to stay, the stars will be destroyed."
Existing plants in the garden have adverse effects, especially spiritual fruit plants, which can seriously lead to reduced yields or withering and death.”
Corrosive energy? Chen Rui was surprised. This Blood Sea Flower may be somewhat similar to the Kaio Fruit. It is not a real plant, but its properties are quite strange. It can actually affect spiritual fruit plants.
Aura is the basic power of the super system and is very important. Moreover, the Blood Sea Flower cannot be planted, and it has no meaning in the Star Garden, so Chen Rui immediately put the Blood Sea Flower back into the storage warehouse. The storage warehouse is very magical, and everything
Different types of items are isolated by special spaces and cannot affect other items.
Chen Rui no longer cared about this strange flower, and entered the training ground with his mind, and began a long practice.
After several days of traveling, the carriage arrived at its destination, the Blood Fiend Imperial Capital.
If we could use only one word to briefly describe the three major imperial cities, the Fallen Angel Imperial City could use "solemn" and the Shadow Imperial Capital could use "prosperous". Then the Blood Evil Imperial City in front of us would be "crushing", although it is not as huge as the Fallen Angel Imperial Capital.
There are iconic buildings such as the Fallen Angel Statue, but just from the blood-red city walls, you can feel the fierce and intimidating momentum.
The punishment laws of the Blood Evil Empire are the harshest compared to the other two empires: Those who disturb the public order will die; those who commit the following offenses will die; those who disrespect the orders above will die...
Although the punishment was cruel, except for some previous rebellions by the Samael royal family, basically the people remained relatively peaceful and did not dare to make any changes or resist. Over time, they became accustomed to it.
In the demon world, strength is the most important thing, and this is the deterrence of the strongest.
Since the death of Emperor Bai Ye three hundred years ago, the original choice for the strongest person has been quite controversial. Lei Chan summoned the strongest people from all walks of life to hold a martial arts competition. As a result, he won seven games in a row and killed the demon emperor of the same level.
The four of them made all the strong men tremble, and they became the most powerful man in the demon world after Emperor Baiye without any criticism.
Chen Rui asked all the way and found a "Tess Hotel" in the southern suburbs of the city. The proprietress Tess was a charming and plump succubus. After taking the amethyst coin handed by Chen Rui, she exchanged a few words and immediately
I took him to choose a room in person and was so intimate that my whole body felt like I wanted to press against him.
This store is actually the stronghold of Shadow, and the person in charge is Tess the Succubus.
Chen Rui chose a secluded room, and Tess followed him in, but restrained her flattery and bowed respectfully. One of the amethyst coins that Chen Rui handed over just now had a special mark that only members of the Shadows could
Through identification and the incision in the conversation, the succubus has confirmed the identity of this "little apprentice".
"There's still no news from Serkored Mountain and the Fertile Land?"
"Yes, sir." Tess lowered her head in shame, as if she was waiting for punishment. Although she didn't know who this person was, she could only do "absolutely" for someone who could show that kind of mark.
Four words: "obey".
Chen Rui was also mentally prepared for this, and shook his head and said: "Don't be impatient. The current shadow is only in the initial stage. Let's take it step by step and slowly gain a foothold. By the way, has anything special happened in the Imperial Capital recently?"
"There are two pieces of news. The first one is that the second prince Edmund was assassinated just the day before yesterday. The assassin attempted to escape..." Seeing that the person who came did not blame herself, Tess cheered up and spoke.
The Blood Fiend Empire has always been martial and respected the strong. The first heir to the royal family is called the First Prince, but it is not fixed. Instead, several princes will duel at intervals to select a new "First Prince"
”.
There are many princes in the Blood Fiend who are extremely powerful and talented. The two most promising to inherit the throne are Aleus and Edmund.
According to his age, Edmund is Aleus's elder brother, but the rule of the Blood Evil Empire is that the winner is king. Ever since Aleus took the lead in breaking through to the Demon Emperor realm and defeated Edmund in a duel, Edmund saw
Aleus should also be called the Great Imperial Brother.
Just a year ago, Edmund suddenly "strengthened" and broke through to become the Demon Emperor, which narrowed the distance between the two again. Next year will be the time to re-rank the duel, so Aleus and Edmund have been
Overt and covert fighting continues, and Edmund is suddenly assassinated, making people unable to help but doubt the direct beneficiary, Aleus.
Chen Rui secretly thought that there were many powerful demon emperors in the Fallen Angel Empire, but most of them were members of the elder families. Therefore, to a certain extent, the regent Obsidian, who had an unjustified reputation, had to look at the faces of the elder families; the Shadow Empire's
Although the situation is not very clear, the Shadow Empire almost lost all its elites when the royal family rebelled. Now the entire Asmodeus royal family is basically supported by Catherine alone; only the Blood Evil Empire has only two princes.
, already possessed the strength of a demon emperor, and the other princes were also extremely talented, not to mention the most powerful emperor.
If this structural level continues to develop, the Blood Evil Empire will be an insurmountable power for quite some time in the future.
Tess's second news is that the respected veteran imperial general Beaubois has died of illness, and Adelaide of the royal family and Beaubois' lieutenant-general Gordon will compete for the vacant third general position.
Tomorrow night, the two men will compete for the position of general in the martial arts field in the center of the imperial capital, witnessed by the Bloody Emperor Lei Chan, in front of all the audiences.
Chen Rui nodded slightly. In any case, even if it was just to take a look at Lei Chan, who might be the strongest enemy in the future, he should watch this battle.
