Chapter 191: Shadow of the Soul
"Demons are really diverse and harmful!"
After sending Fang Jinxing away, Chen Qi postponed his promotion plan for a while and began to read the demon knowledge left by Yuwen Yong in detail.
Demon is just a general term. As long as it is an intelligent life, it can be called a demon after sacrificing its soul.
Because of the differences between intelligent races, demons can be divided into many varieties just by race.
Even within the same race, such as demons transformed from humans, they can be divided again because of the different objects of sacrifice.
Even if the sacrifice is to the same object, demons can still be divided again because of the difference in the acquired abilities.
Generally speaking, the demon light waves of demons can only target a certain specific emotion of human beings.
For example, joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness can already be divided into 4 kinds of demons.
It can be said that after endless time and the sacrifice of countless intelligent races, demons have formed a huge race system.
Its complexity exceeds that of any single intelligent race.
According to the database, demons even occupied a huge territory and constructed their own demon world.
Due to the existence of soul defects, demons have to find ways to devour the [Soul Shadow] of intelligent life in order to survive.
They harvest the soul power of intelligent life through deception, contract, or coercion, and even cast it into currency to circulate in the demon world.
No wonder demons have become the public enemy of all intelligent races.
······
Introductions to demons almost occupy 90% of the entire database.
As for the remaining 10%, it is all kinds of knowledge on preventing and hunting demons.
Due to the limitations of the demon hunter inheritance, Yuwen Yong only left some general methods to deal with demons.
They involve tracking and dissolving demon aura, defense against demon light waves and self-emotional protection.
How to judge whether the demon is completely dead, and how to deal with the remains of the demon.
There are dozens of various secret techniques.
You can imagine how hard the intelligent life is trying to kill the demon.
Chen Qi only has a rough understanding of these, and what he wants to know most now is the [Ancestor Demon].
Since the Empire has determined that Gutaf is the [Original Demon], it must not use the methods to deal with ordinary demons to deal with him.
Fortunately, Yuwen Yong is really a "good demon hunter". Even though the ancestor demon involves some secrets and is almost impossible for ordinary people to encounter, he still left some records.
······
"The object of the sacrifice of the ancestor demon is a mysterious existence that transcends the god-like."
"After the sacrifice, a black hole appeared in the soul of the sacrificer, but the overall soul structure was intact."
"The ancestor demon is the source of all demons. The original various soul sacrifice methods were studied by them based on their own soul structure."
"The soul of the ancestor demon will not be in an annihilated state, so they can still continuously improve the soul scale of the soul."
"They can even climb from a low-level demon to a high-level demon."
"The powerful ancestor demon can control any emotion of intelligent life, and can even [demonize] the soul shadow of intelligent life."
Although there are not many records about the ancestor demon left by Yuwen Yong, it opened a door for Chen Qi.
At least Chen Qi is no longer confused about Gutav's ability to manipulate shadows.
"It turns out that the projection of the soul in the three-dimensional world has always been hidden in the shadow of humans."
"The demons call it the shadow of the soul, and the multidimensional school or the dimensionality reduction school, they call it the soul dimension."
"The object of the sacrifice of the ancestor demon is a certain existence that transcends the godlike."
"And Gutav has obtained the bronze dice."
"Then can I understand that Gutav sacrificed his soul to the bronze dice, which led to his transformation into a demon."
"Is this another wishing mechanism of the bronze dice? Can it accept additional payment in addition to free?"
Chen Qi summoned the bronze dice in front of him again, and it was still spinning around, without any interference with the real world.
But no matter how Chen Qi looked at it, he couldn't see that it looked like a godlike being.
Well, it's reasonable not to see it.
Let alone the godlike being, Chen Qi would instantly turn into ashes even if he took a look at the Holy Land.
With his current strength, contacting the Holy Land is no different from jumping into the sun to take a bath.
······
"What a pity, I can only fulfill three wishes for free."
"I only have two left now, and one of them is only a pitiful 8 points."
"If the bronze dice is really above the level of a god, then rolling 20 points will definitely make it possible to achieve a god-like level, right?"
"Among all the wishers who have made wishes throughout history, I wonder how many have achieved this."
"As for whether anyone has ever rolled 20 points, there must have been someone who did."
"The text on the dice with the number [20] is irrefutable evidence!"
"It's a pity that I'm not a child of luck, otherwise I would have to roll 16 or 17 points at the beginning?"
Chen Qi stared at the bronze dice for three minutes, and after being depressed for 180 seconds, he reluctantly looked away.
Yuwen Yong's "help in times of trouble" was only a pleasant surprise, and Chen Qi still had to follow his original plan.
After his apostle's armament reached 21 times, he could no longer make any progress.
This was not only because Chen Qi's wisdom was not enough, but more importantly, the knowledge he could get from the Dharma Realm could only support the apostle's armament to such a level.
In this case, let's get promoted!
Considering that once he was promoted to LV6, he would be imprisoned in the Black Death Prison.
Chen Qi had to arrange some things in advance and leave more backups.
Xiaohong and Xiaobai must stay in the City of Chaos, which is his coordinate in the real world.
According to Amanda's description, everything in the Dharma Realm was extinct, not even a bacterium.
The apostles in the Dharma Realm could only rely on extracting spiritual energy to make a living.
After the birth of the authority fragments, the apostles could already capture some weak spiritual energy and barely use it to fill their stomachs.
Chen Qi was able to do this after reaching the high-level extraordinary.
But because [vitality] was too important to Chen Qi, Chen Qi had to reluctantly harvest more flowers and plants in the Blue Taro Kingdom.
As a price, Chen Qi donated all his assets in the real world to the cause of afforestation of barren mountains.
Since then, Chen Qi, the billionaire, has become penniless again.
Considering the bad conditions in the Dharma Realm, he has returned to the state before he made a wish overnight, and his living standard is even worse than that in a rented house.
At least at that time, you could have steamed buns with cold water, but there was not even a yeast in the Dharma Realm.
If there is only one difference, it is that even if it is dark in the Dharma Realm, you can still see hope.
······
"Boom!"
A loud thunder suddenly sounded in the daytime of the Chaos City, and the whole city seemed to shake.
The next moment, a white light shot straight into the sky.
And in the metal castle, Chen Qi had disappeared.
At the same time, all the players of "King's Game" suddenly found that their cards were shaking.
"Is someone promoted to an apostle?"
"Red Heart 7, it must be Red Heart 7 who was promoted to an apostle!"
"The situation in the game is about to change again."
The birth of the apostle was too loud to be hidden from all the players.
New players didn't know what this vibration meant, but old players guessed the truth in an instant.
Even though they knew that this day would soon come, many old players still found it hard to accept it when it really came.
Why?
That Red Heart Seven had been a player for less than a year, and he could be promoted to an apostle!
It is no exaggeration to say that Chen Qi is definitely the fastest player to be promoted to an apostle since the birth of the King Game.
How could this not make all players envious?
As for hatred? They didn't dare to do it at all.
······
In the Dharma Realm, the nine solar systems that were originally operating normally suddenly stopped for a moment.
The next moment, rays of light penetrated all the extraordinary bloodlines and wove a giant net.
The moment the giant net appeared, a supernova with infinite light appeared in the net.
This was Chen Qi being captured directly from the real world by the Dharma Net.
The next moment, the Dharma Net disappeared, and the stars resumed operation again.
And Chen Qi turned into a meteorite, burning at high speed and falling into the black sea of clouds.
Although it was just a glimpse, Chen Qi still saw the huge palace floating on the black sea of clouds.
The rotating sun, moon, and stars naturally did not escape his sight.
At the moment of falling into the sea of clouds, Chen Qi vaguely saw the closed palace door slowly open.
Unfortunately, before he could see clearly whether anyone came out, he was completely shrouded in darkness.
······
"Boom!"
This is a desolate land, surrounded by infinite darkness.
Only when the fireworks produced by the collision of stars in the sky fell and flashed, the surroundings showed some vague darkness.
But with the fall of a burning meteorite, the surrounding area within 10 kilometers seemed to have turned into a daylight that had never existed before.
At this moment, the thick darkness was driven away, revealing the true appearance of the world.
Gray-black rocks, the entire land is completely made of a kind of black rock.
In addition to rocks, there is no other terrain in the surrounding area.
Among the rock communities, some strange things are wandering aimlessly.
This is the wild monster that Amanda mentioned.
They gather in twos and threes, and once they meet, they will fight and devour each other.
But at the moment of the meteorite falling, all the fighting stopped instantly.
They all ran towards the place where the meteorite fell.
At the same time, there were four or five jailers chasing the meteorite.
Their figures were erratic, but their movement speed was much faster than the wild monsters.
But even faster was the disappearance of the daylight.
The darkness in the Dharma Realm was so thick that the moment the meteorite passed, darkness enveloped everything again.
······
"What a terrible experience, it's even more exciting than falling into a blender."
"Is this the Dharma Realm?"
"It's so dark!"
Chen Qi's promotion to LV6 was extremely smooth, and everything was a natural result.
He called on the power of the game and completely transferred the other three superpowers to the 7 of Hearts.
At the moment when the four completely became a puzzle, the pattern of [Apostle Armament] appeared on the front of the card.
At the heart of the pattern, a ball of light was being conceived. This was the fragment of Chen Qi's authority.
The moment the other three cards lost their superpowers, they turned into three rays of light and disappeared.
The game power that Chen Qi had mastered had been exhausted, and he could only watch the cards disappear.
It is indeed easy to advance to LV6, but the price is that all the game power Chen Qi has mastered is used up.
This has to be said to be a pity.
After reaching LV6, Chen Qi has not yet fully adapted to it.
He was locked by the power of King's Game out of thin air and dragged into the legal world.
From the beginning to the end, Chen Qi was unable to resist at all, which shows the power of the game.
······
"Dark vision is useless, just relying on the naked eye is blind here."
"The magnetic field of life is not suppressed."
"There is interference in spiritual perception, which should be caused by the spiritual energy here being too chaotic."
"This so-called darkness is not visual."
"The root cause is that there are too many extraordinary bloodlines in the legal world. Their disturbance of spiritual energy suppresses life's understanding of the world."
"What is filled in the Dharma Realm is not darkness, but confusion. The so-called darkness is just a manifestation of life's fear of the unknown."
Chen Qi briefly used the power of the apostle's armed forces, and then centered on it, all the darkness within a radius of a hundred meters disappeared.
This is because he used his own power to dispel those chaotic spiritual energies. His perception of the world is no longer affected, and he can naturally see everything around him clearly.
“Is the earth actually a rock structure?”
"No, the rocks are actually made of snowflakes."
"This is the configuration. Has the material field in the Dharma Realm been tampered with?"
"Is it to completely separate from the material field of the real world and form its own realm?"
Chen Qi is like a child who has just received a toy, peering into everything in the Dharma Realm.
Although the material structure in the Dharma Realm is different from the real world, Chen Qi's physical body did not notice any discomfort.
In other words, the scale of space and time itself has not changed.
Morphological changes at the atomic level themselves belong to the macroscopic world and are not enough to tamper with time and space.
This Dharma Realm is still part of the real world, not another independent space.
Considering what we just saw at a glance, the area of this Dharma Realm is definitely not smaller than that of Blue Taro Country.
In this case, the Dharma Realm must not exist in the country of Blue Taro.
"Is it under the sea? Or under the earth?"
"It seems like that's the only way it can be."
"Now it seems that this legal world is only a semi-finished product and still cannot exist apart from the real world."
"Is it because the power of King's Game is not strong enough?"
"In the final analysis, the population of Blue Taro Country is too small, and it can only support it to this point."
Chen Qi, who has profound knowledge in the material field, quickly saw the details of the legal world.
After realizing that this was still the real world, the panic in my heart completely disappeared.
Correspondingly, the darkness in Chen Qi's eyes also became lighter.
The unknown is the greatest fear, and the imagination of intelligent life will amplify this fear infinitely.
It's as if a person is trapped in a dark corridor without knowing it. Under the oppression of the unknown and fear, you may even think that you have fallen into the belly of the snake of the world.
But the truth is that this is just a haunted house in an amusement park, and you just got lost.
The former makes you feel unable to escape, but the latter cannot bring you despair.
The environment around you never changes, only your perception changes.
Chen Qi feels like this now.
Amanda previously described the Dharma Realm as extremely weird and mysterious, but the truth is that this guy is just a mallet.
What he described was only the Dharma Realm as he understood it.
What Chen Qi saw now was completely different.
But Amanda still got it right about some things, such as those wandering wild monsters and the mysterious jailer.
At this time, they had appeared around Chen Qi, surrounding him.
The only saved manuscript has been used up. Now I can only write and publish now. The update time must have changed a little, sorry for that!
