Chapter 1064 Soul Trading

Ash plundered everything in the castle and found a very interesting place: the living environment of the demigods was very simple, not even comparable to Broken Lake Prison.

He didn't believe that demigods were all ascetic cultivators who didn't like to enjoy themselves. The only reason could only be that they were under great pressure to survive and couldn't care less about material enjoyment.

But "Wind Erosion" is a major force in the first level of hell. Thirteen demigods and the rain demon tribe sit here. Shouldn't they live an easy life in hell?

While Ash was thinking, Death Maniac suddenly pointed out the hidden compartment embedded in the treasure box: "You missed the most important treasure."

Ash opened the hidden compartment and found a black sticker placed in the satin box?

"It is indeed this thing." Death Man raised his eyebrows, "For demigods, this is indeed the most important thing."

"What is this?" "Doom." Ashi was startled.

Death Maniac explained: "Did Wei Xi tell you that demigods will face challenges every once in a while?" Ash nodded: "She said that demigods will face challenges every three hundred days."

"It is now 365 days. The interval between disasters is consistent with the interval between world rotations. In her time, a year was 300 days." Death Man said: "For most demigods, disasters are extremely dangerous levels, so There is also the saying "year-end". "

"Disasters are often the miracles of other demigods. Demigods with fifth-level Hell Wings and above will even suffer disasters with miracles at the God Lord level. There are two ways to easily pass the disasters. One is to give up all the prisons. Wing, as long as you don't steal the knowledge of the virtual realm, the virtual realm won't cause trouble for you; the other is to consume the calamity."

"Every time a demigod passes through a calamity, there will be an additional calamity on the back of his hand. Calamity has many uses, but the most important one is-"

Death Man glanced at Ash: "Through the upper and lower levels of hell."

"For example, to go from the first level of hell to the second level of hell, it will take 2 kalpas. From the second level to the third level, it will take 3 kalpas, and so on."

"But conversely, if you want to return from the fifth hell to the fourth hell, you only need to spend 4 kalpas. To return from the second level to the first level, you will have to spend 1 kalpa."

"To put it simply, to which level of hell you want to go, how many calamities will it cost."

Ash thought for a while, "Theoretically, as long as a demigod survives 14 years, he can reach the fifth level of hell?"

From the first level to the fifth level, a total of 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 14 tribulations are consumed. Because there are disasters every year, the demigod can spend 14 years to get it together. "

"Yes, but no one would waste it like this." Death Man shook his head: "Because the second purpose of the disaster is to offset the disaster."

"A demigod with a first-level Hell Wing can offset the next calamity in three tribulations; a second-level Hell Wing requires 6, a third-level Hell Wing 9, a fourth-level Hell-Wing 12, and a fifth-level Hell-Wing 15."

"There are always times when a demigod is in a sluggish state, or when he is unable to solve a disaster. Without counteracting the disaster, the demigod will have no choice but to die."

"Many demigods prefer to maintain one level of Hell Wing because it is easy to spend disasters to save their lives."

Ash understood. Doom is both the passport to hell and the epitaph of hell. The weaker the demigod is, the easier it is for him to survive, but the closer he wants to get to power, the easier it is for him to be overwhelmed by disaster.

"The demigods shouldn't waste their lives going to the upper hell, right?" Ash asked, "What's in the upper hell?"...

"More resources, and..." The death maniac exhaled a smoke ring, "There will be gods born in hell. The fifth level has the highest probability, and the first level is almost non-existent."

Ash nodded clearly and looked at the calamity in the box, "Then where did this calamity come from? Can demigods transfer calamity?"

"Yes, but there is a very strange condition."

The death maniac raised his eyebrows: "A demigod can only take it off if it is the last one of the demigods. If it is a demigod with the second level of Hell Wings, he can pick the last two, and if he is a demigod with the third level of Hell Wings, he can pick the last three. And so on."

Only the last catastrophe can be taken off?

Ash's brows jumped wildly when he heard this - I'm afraid only a gambler who is short of money and crazy will take off his last

Damn it. Once the final calamity is lost, it means that the calamity cannot be offset for at least three years and can only be resisted by oneself.

"Among the hard currencies traded by demigods, source crystals have the lowest value, and tribulations have the highest value. If there are tribulations of multiple magnitudes, the value increases exponentially." The death maniac raised three fingers, "Generally speaking, you can buy eight tribulations. A god."

Ash looked down at the calamity in the box and asked, "How to use it?" "Put it on the back of your hand." Death Maniac replied.

Ash put the dark sticker on the back of his hand, and saw that it immediately turned into an eye-shaped pattern, with colorful mist emerging from every mark.

He looked at it for a while and suddenly remembered something: "The marks on the backs of Sword Lady's and others' hands."

"That is a gift from the Four Pillar Gods to them to help them communicate with the guardian spirits in hell." Death Man shook off the smoke.

Hui: "It can be used as a calamity, but the price is that the next calamity will be twice as difficult. There are many demigods who want to trade with the four pillar gods to drink poison to quench their thirst, but there are very few who survive."

Ash asked: "Speaking of guardian spirits, are their guardian spirits dead?"

The Death Maniac shook his head: "Of course not. Their guardian spirits can fly and can retreat in time even in the first level of hell. Unlike the rain demon, which can only walk on the ground and walk slowly, it can't even run away."

Ash pondered for a moment and raised his right hand, "So, I am still one calamity away from reaching the second level of hell?"

Death Maniac was leaning against the door frame, his long blood-red hair fluttering in the wind: "That's right." "So, how do you want to get back the "Aurora's Magician's Manual"?"

Ash looked at Death Maniac, "If abandoning the magician's manual can block your threat, I would be very happy if you can let me believe in your sincerity."

After the death maniac said that he wanted to get back the "Aurora's Magician's Manual", he continued to take him to search the hell stronghold. She didn't continue, so Ash took this time to think about his choice.

To be fair, he didn't covet the magician's manual in any way. In other words, he had gotten what he wanted. Even though the magician's manual contained the legacies of several civilizations, and he might even be able to pull out a noble phantom of the refining bottle level, Ash had no regrets.

Even without the magician's manual, he already has companions who can support each other and the power to fight against fate. What's more, the magician's manual is not his own in the first place, but the result of countless world lines experienced by Death Mania and the others. They wanted to take it back, but Ash had no objection. …

Death Kuang went to the center of the fortress, looked up at the towering spear spire, and said, "Do you think I will propose a deal to you? No, what I give you is just an option."

"These wonders are high-level wonders, put them away."

Ash nodded and took the fortress's spear obelisk, flying eagle statue, and lightning carving into the Soul Heaven.

The Spear Obelisk is a wonder "Fighter's Monument". When activated, an earth wall will rise at the edge of the area. Any unit approaching the earth wall will be pierced by the armor-piercing spear;

The flying eagle statue is a spectacle called "Thunderbird Transformation". It shoots a ball of egg-shaped thunder. The thunder will continuously strike all surrounding units. When the number of lightning strikes reaches 100 times, the thunder will turn into a thunderbird to assist in combat.

The most powerful lightning glyph is the wonder "Rain Demon Lair", which can instantly summon the Thunder Demon to participate in the battlefield. The Thunder Demon has destructive claws and supersonic movement speed, and the thunder body can be infinitely reborn. However, the "Rain Demon Lair" is a consumable wonder. A Rain Demon will be born every once in a while. Once all the Rain Demon Wonders in the lair are used up, it will naturally collapse.

It can be seen that most members of "Wind Erosion" use thunder as their core technique, so they can build two thunder magic wonders.

In the Soul Heaven, the magic spirits looked at the wonders that were moved in one after another, jumping on them curiously. Ash took a closer look and found that the substitute magic spirit had moved the bed to the tower of the "Overturning" wonder, and was sleeping soundly with the heart sword magic spirit in his arms, living a more comfortable life than him.

After Ash stuffed all the wonders into the Soul Heaven, Death Maniac suddenly asked: "The wonders can be hidden in the Magic Temple, so where do you think the "Aurora's Magician's Manual" is hidden?"

Ash blinked,

After thinking about it, I suddenly realized that I really didn’t know the answer.

It can't be a body, and it can't be a soul. Ash has died several times in the virtual realm. If the magician's manual is hidden in the soul and is accidentally bitten by the Fish-Slaying Dragon, then wouldn't the Final Five have to train the Fish-Slaying Dragon to the highest level of magic?

"I'll give you a hint." Death Maniac said: "When Vichy was reborn for the second time, what on earth brought her back to the past?"

Ash was startled. Yeah, what exactly is Vichy going back to the past?

It is clearly recorded in the "Ghost Manual" that after Vichy was reborn, she still relied on killing to nourish her soul. This proved that she had indeed abandoned everything in her life, traveled back in time, and then took away her soul and body as a child, so everything had to be reborn. start.

".Memory?" Ashus guessed.

"It's very close." Death Maniac said: "To be precise, it is the synthesis of all information about a person. Your body will return to nature, and your soul will be buried in the virtual world, but only your memory, your thoughts, your Thoughts, these things combined form a unique "consciousness". The world cannot take it away, and the virtual realm cannot take it away. It will always belong to you. "

"When rules have consciousness, gods are born; when magic techniques have consciousness, magic spirits are born; when spiritual flesh has consciousness, souls are born."

"Aurora's Magician's Manual has always been placed in your heart." Ash's heart sank, "You want to separate the Magician's Manual from my mind?"

"No, we can't do it." The death maniac shook his head: "In order to prevent Ouroboros' pursuit to the greatest extent, we have integrated all the permissions of the magician's manual into your mind and made it completely yours. In this way, Uroboros Lobolos won’t notice anything strange about the world line.”…

"Besides, we never planned to separate the magician's manual." She said calmly: "There is no need." Ash: "What do you mean?"

"It means that we will get the magician's manual back, and we will not give up your body." Death Man glanced at him, "At that time, is there any need for your soul to exist?"

Ash almost laughed angrily: "Then why should I return the magician's manual to you?"

"Because the magician's manual is what we have accumulated over the years. Without it, we would not be able to return to the heyday in the shortest possible time." Death Maniac said calmly: "This time Ouroboros chased us and we lost, but if If we get all the resources back, we might be able to continue escaping and try again. If you don't return them, there's really no hope."

"However, I have no intention of morally kidnapping you." Death Man noticed Ash's livid face, "Anyway, you will take the initiative to hand over your heart to us no matter what."

"Why?"

"Because you also want to defeat Ouroboros and save your own destiny." Death Maniac said: "The problem is, even if you get all the resources of hell and you become the strongest demigod sorcerer in history, but you How effective can you use this power?"

Hit the nail on the head.

Yes, Ash can condense one level of Hell Wings in one day, but even if he is allowed to condense six levels of Hell Wings, and the Soul Heaven is filled with heavenly wonders and filled with gods, can he make good use of this power?

The opponent is not a miscellaneous fish, but an eight-winged creature that transcends magic and is the snake that devours the world. If the pile of materials could be piled up, the Final Five would have piled it up long ago.

"We are willing to give you four chances." Death Maniac said: "For every 25% of your soul you give, we will send one person to fuse with you, allowing you to temporarily fight at the highest level of magic. Every time you give 25% more, the fusion will The level will increase accordingly, and your level of magic will naturally increase dramatically."

"Giving your heart will not affect your combat power, and your soul body, magic spirit, and soul heaven will not be lost. Even if you give 75% of your heart, it will not affect your life."

"If you defeat Ouroboros in the first three chances, we will naturally have nothing to say. But if you still can't do it after three times." Death Man raised his swan-like neck and looked up at the sky, exhaling a puff of white smoke: "We will give You have two options."

"One option is to die and be buried with the world."

"The other option is to give your heart to me

Then you die and wait for the world to bury you with you. "

Ash also looked up. There is no sky here. Up and down are always upside down. Everything in the world hangs upside down. There is always a sense of crisis about being crushed. Living in this environment is indeed like hell.

After a while, he said quietly: "It sounds like it's just an option."

"Aren't you used to it?" Death Man said calmly: "Sometimes, the world does not have a good ending. You can only choose the less bad one among two bad endings."
