Chapter 159 The Convergence of Extraordinary Paths

Everyone explored inward and encountered more and more treasures.

But the creatures encountered are becoming more and more powerful.

Some places are off limits to them.

With their current strength, once they set foot in the hall of the dwarf princes, they will definitely have no way in or out.

In the maze, all kinds of strange creatures roam the dark and dark lost land.

Corrupt creatures and evil creatures emerge in endlessly.

They can also encounter certain evil spirits on the road, wandering aimlessly in this lost land in groups.

From a distance, it looks like a procession of mourners.

Bai Lan really wants to hunt them and boil the spiritual oil.

Spiritual oil is quite useful to them. Combined with [Brilliant Lantern], it can suppress the Sequence 8 nightmare and bring it back to its original form.

But the disadvantage is that it consumes too much. It only suppresses the nightmare for a while, and the jar of spiritual oil is exhausted.

If you only buy it from the magic castle, no amount of magic gold coins will be enough.

Moreover, Kalcifer’s inventory is not large and it is impossible to supply unlimited quantities.

They master the formula of the spiritual oil, and theoretically, they can refine the spiritual oil themselves.

But the main material of spiritual oil is soul.

Evil spirits can also brew spiritual oil. The more powerful the evil spirit, the more spiritual oil they can brew.

The prerequisite is to stuff them into the crucible.

Some evil spirits themselves are comparable to some high-sequence people. There are dozens of evil spirits in that group, many of whom are at the level of Sequence 8.

Once all the evil spirits are alerted.

None of them will be able to escape by then.

The Black Swan has awakened at this juncture, which is definitely a good thing for players.

Witches are an immortal race.

The characteristic of this extraordinary race is that the longer they live, the stronger they become.

However, not all witches can reach adulthood.

Black Swan's status among witches is very special - she is the only adult witch in hundreds of years. In a sense, she is a genius among witches and is qualified to become the new Night Witch in the future.

Moreover, she also inherited the complete inheritance and knowledge treasures of the witches.

Compared with her, Sophia is just a babbling child.

Even just giving some casual advice can save them a lot of detours.

With the physical potion refined by Metatron, she could see problems at a glance and give extremely valuable suggestions.

The group of people withdrew from the hall of the dwarf princes and left the magnificent ruins behind them.

"Calcifer asked you to find the place where the God of Dreams and Prophecy fell."

When Black Swan learned about this, he was a little surprised at first, and then thoughtful.

She naturally knew about the legendary magic master. When Kalcifer accepted the king's canonization, he completely broke away from the wilderness natural disasters.

The witch clan is even more familiar with natural disasters in the wilderness.

Just because the wilderness natural disaster is related to a legendary witch.

Bai Lan asked: "Do you know where it is?"

He felt that Black Swan should know something about this.

Sophia also mentioned that after the Holy Grail was lost in the maze, the witches also explored the maze, but suffered heavy losses and then nothing was done.

Black Swan borrowed Sophia's body and said lightly: "I don't know, if my people encounter his divine kingdom, they will most likely never come back."

"Is it dangerous there?"

Black Swan said: "It varies from person to person. If you are looking for that place, then you may have found a clue. The nightmare you encountered earlier should be related to the God's Death Land."

Gods do not completely disappear after death, but some supernatural powers remain.

Black Swan doesn't mind telling Bai Lan some news that only high-sequencers have access to.

For example, the higher certain adjacent transcendent paths go, the more they will attract each other.

Because they are naturally aggregated.

This is also the reason why most god wars break out.

But for low-sequencers, this is something you don’t have to think about.

Because they can't get to that point.

High-sequencers will not only attract low-sequencers from the same pathway, but also attract low-sequencers from adjacent pathways.

This adjacent pathway refers to two pathways with overlapping ability characteristics.

As the extraordinary beings of a certain extraordinary path become stronger and stronger, they will inevitably usurp the abilities and characteristics of other paths.

Because the higher up the order of extraordinary beings is, the more comprehensive their abilities are and the more areas they cover.

Those with low serial numbers can still be said to be okay.

But at the level of the gods, the conflicts between them are difficult to reconcile.

How can one allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?

Only launch a divine war!

The original moon and sun gods also grew up in this way.

The most powerful gods have experienced many divine battles and survived to the end, establishing their respective positions.

The first-generation demon wolf used this to kill the God of Mist in the path adjacent to him, and completely mastered the power of the "Mist" path.

If the power of the "fog" path is born again in the future.

Then the low-sequence people on the "Mist" path will naturally move towards the "Magic Wolf" path.

The same is generally true for other extraordinary paths.

Any extraordinary person who embarks on those paths will be attracted by the gods and become a natural believer or dependent.

This is the adjacency of extraordinary paths.

The impact is horrific and inevitable.

The original moon took the lead in occupying the throne of "dark night".

The core ability characteristic of the "Witch" path is called [Witch's Night].

If a witch wants to become a god, she will touch the throne of the original moon unless she finds another way.

But finding another way is impossible.

As one of the most powerful gods, the original moon would not have made such a big oversight.

If [Witch Night] touches the throne of the original moon, then what is about to happen is not the new gods rebelling against the old gods, nor is the old gods suppressing the new gods.

But it will merge.

[Witch Night] will become part of the original moon and a cornerstone of the throne.

The low-sequence people can interpret their own abilities and characteristics, but the positions of the high-sequence people have already been determined.

This is very disappointing.

If Bai Lan grows to that point, this kind of thing will happen.

He will also become part of the first generation of demon wolves and will not even be able to initiate a divine war.

Because the war between gods is a war of equal status.

The reason why the gods are gods is that they have the characteristics of high-ranking persons, symbolizing and carrying more things.

To a certain extent, the gods are the laws of the world.

Black Swan told the story of the first-generation demon wolf because he did not hope that Bai Lan would encounter such a thing.

This is for Sophia.

There are not many people Sophia can trust anymore.

The night is no longer safe.

After Elise passed away, her weak soul could no longer help Sophia overcome the difficulties in the future.

Although these people are quite weak, they all have great potential.

Maybe it can help Sophia in the future.

Since Calcifer led them here, he certainly had his reasons.

Because normally, the God's Fall Land cannot be found, and even if you pass by, you won't be able to detect it.

Just like the Mist Forest, who knew that it was the place where the God of Mist fell?

But destiny has a certain gravitational pull that draws certain beings there.

Like nightmare.

The witch clan regards nightmares as their familiars.

When Black Swan was alive, he had many familiars.

Sophia is the last witch in name only.

But in reality, she did not exhibit the characteristic power of a witch.

A witch who doesn't even have a familiar is not worthy of being called a witch.

The witch has four characteristics, and [familiar] occupies one of them. It can transform any creature into a familiar. The familiar who signs a contract will obey the witch's orders.

As a dark creature, nightmares can only be active in the dark night and are regarded as natural familiars by witches.

Nightmares are creatures blessed by both night and dreams.

Some nightmares will surrender to the witch.

There are also some nightmares that choose to lean towards otherworldly paths such as "dreams".

And at the end of this path is the [God of Dreams and Prophecy].

Even in the beginning, He did not preside over both paths at the same time.

He was the God of Prophecy at first, and later killed the God of Dreams in the God War, thus occupying two paths.

It is said that the god dreams about the future.

I wonder if He ever dreamed of his own fallen future?

Black Swan said: "You have encountered a nightmare, which shows that you are not far from Him."

She took it as a sign of something occult.

Although Bai Lan and others were wandering around in the maze like headless flies, the gravity of fate led them to the nightmare.

Just like drifting on the ocean, following the ups and downs of the ocean currents, sooner or later you will arrive at a mysterious island.

However, not all God's Fall Lands are as harmless as the Misty Forest. Most of the God's Fall Lands are full of dangers.

The destruction of the dwarf kingdom was the result of the last large-scale divine war so far.

Two thousand years ago, the God War ended.

The situation that was originally like muddy water gradually became clearer.

Theoretically speaking, a stable pattern has been formed, and there will be no large-scale divine wars in the foreseeable future for thousands of years.

But in fact, the last large-scale divine war broke out suddenly, and the intensity of the war was far greater than before.

Most of the participants in the war did not even know the cause, process, and results, so they threw themselves into the battlefield under the orders of the gods.

This time the war between gods involves more things.

It is very possible that the death of some gods was not at the hands of other gods.

And those things have similar origins to the horrors the witch encounters in the dark night.

"If you enter the Land of God's Fall, you must be careful. Your enemy may not be the nightmare, nor the other descendants of that god, but some forbidden power."

Bai Lan immediately thought of the Black Forest.

Black Swan glanced at him, as if she knew what he was thinking.

This is normal. Country children have never seen big scenes.

"The Black Forest is just an evil result that grew unintentionally in the border town. It may be endlessly poisonous, but it is already here and it is not worth paying more attention to. The real enemy comes from a wider battlefield."

"We witches are the kings of the night, but we encountered great terror in the night. What really caused the witches to annihilate their clan was not the deliberate betrayal of the werewolves, but the erosion of darkness. For the witches, the night no longer means anything. It’s safe.”

If those powerful witches were all here, let alone the two Wolf Lords who were about to die of old age, even if they returned to their peak, they would not be able to make a splash in front of the adult witches.

He is not even a heroic werewolf, so he is not qualified to be an enemy of the witch.

It was precisely because those witches died one after another.

The werewolf was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Bai Lan thought about the Magic Kingdom's continuous military recruitment, the source of disaster in the Black Forest from the Infinite Sea, and the forbidden power of the Shadow Castle.

Players vaguely know that the people of this world may be under great pressure.

But they have no real sense of it.

Because their initial place is a border town.

The biggest threat this remote town with simple folk customs faces is the Black Forest.

As the sun rises and the moon sets every day, the residents here seem to feel no pressure or urgency.

Players also have the illusion that as long as they defeat the BOSS in the Black Forest, everything will be fine.

Bai Lan said: "The nights I see are only quiet and peaceful, and I don't see the danger you mentioned."

Yes, even on a full moon night, werewolves invaded the border town.

But the cold moonlight in the sky still shines on the wilderness unchanged forever.

Black Swan's mood is quite stable. I don't know if it's because the Witch, as an immortal species, is naturally indifferent to emotions, or because she has long accepted all this.

"This world is not a place of peace and harmony. The power of taboos spreads secretly."

"If the moon is eroded and falls towards the earth, where should we stand?"

"If the sun is eroded and the sunlight is like a candle, what will all living things rely on to grow?"

"A big tree with lush branches on the surface may be riddled with holes inside."

"Do we have to wait until the leaves turn yellow and wither, and the bark falls off and dies of old age, before we can shockingly show the tragic situation of a terminal illness?"

"When spring comes, it will sprout new buds, not green buds, but yellow leaves in autumn, just like a baby that has grown old just after birth, and all natural laws will be out of balance. The law is no longer a law, This land will no longer have the concept of life.”

"Before this, these changes were silent, you couldn't see it, and you didn't believe it, but until a certain moment it broke out, it would be more violent and faster than any vicious curses and dirty words, destroying everything you had ever experienced. Destroy everything familiar!"

"By then, will you be able to adapt to that drastic change?"

…

A day of exploration flies by.

Bai Lan opened her eyes.

He stood up, came to the balcony, and opened the curtains.

It was sunset, and the orange sunshine was not dazzling, but very warm.

Bai Lan leaned on the railing next to the balcony and looked quietly.

Grass and trees in the setting sun, ordinary alleyways.

This is an ordinary corner of the city, so ordinary.

Maybe it's because the soft radiance of the setting sun adds a layer of filter to the world, so that even ordinary scenes have a touch of warmth.

Bai Lan put the trip to the maze behind.

It is said that you cannot stay in the maze for too long, otherwise you will never come back.

Even if their level is much higher than ordinary people, if they stay in the maze for too long, it will still have some effects.

Concentrating for a long time and dealing with various things will also make you feel heavy and tired.

The real world is their relaxation time.

"Let's go eat first." Bai Lan muttered to himself.

…

Dusk.

Gu You was walking on the way home.

Pass by the bus stop.

A bus full of passengers came.

You can see the crowded scene like sardines from the window.

"Welcome to take bus No. 15, passengers who need it please get on the bus in time."

The announcement sound sounded like water had entered it.

Gu You stopped and looked at the scene ahead.

On the seat at the bus stop, a tired-looking office worker stood up and put in his coin in a daze to get on the bus.

Gu You looked at this scene, and she had a moment to say something.

But in the end, he said nothing and did not call the passengers off the bus.

As the car door closes.

The bus drove slowly forward, with more and more water emerging from the bottom of the bus, and slowly drove towards the bridge.

The setting sun was shining, but it couldn't bring her the slightest warmth.

She covered her mouth with her hands and lowered her head, as if she hadn't seen anything.

Passing by the bus.

There were tears in her eyes.

…

the next day.

The salvage team recovered the 78th body from where the bus crashed into the river.

After verification, the deceased disappeared after get off work yesterday and took the No. 15 bus before his death.

The cause of death was that he fell into the river with the passenger from two weeks ago.

Salvage work is still ongoing.
