Vortex Demon

Under Roger's unusually tough approach.

The Dragon Tiger Meet, which attracted much attention from the sea of clouds, concluded successfully with all sects agreeing on the decision.

After so many years of trials and tribulations.

Killing no longer burdened him.

Moreover, it wasn't Roger himself who made the move this time.

Instead, it is "Fiend Demon Hu Li".

The two Sprite Dharma Idol, Demon and Young Peng, are actually similar to clones.

Previously.

Roger can only control it personally using his main consciousness.

Therefore, when the Dharma form is open, it is impossible to take care of the principal deity.

But things are different now.

Like controlling a clone.

The Slaughter Authority Rank can now also be used to remotely control the Dharma form.

Hu Li possesses strength equivalent to that of an immortal.

Crushing the Cloud Sea World is naturally no problem.

Several forces that openly opposed the movement, such as the Neon Phoenix Palace, Heavenly Emperor Mountain, and Sunset City, were forcibly dismantled by Roger.

Of course, many people will have complaints about this.

But they could only keep their complaints to themselves.

Because of the person who said it.

Most of them no longer have the opportunity to harbor resentment.

In conclusion.

In order to integrate the extraordinary forces of the Cloud Sea Realm.

Roger rarely resorted to such drastic measures.

As it turns out, the 'ancestral methods must not be revealed' that these forces had previously vowed was not so rigid.

People are quite flexible when they need to be.

No.

After the Dragon Tiger Meet ended.

Roger now possessed over 90 cultivation methods and hundreds of miscellaneous Daoist and martial arts techniques.

He stuffed all these secret manuals into the Dragon Tiger Alliance's warehouse.

Everyone who has contributed to this alliance.

They can obtain copies of these secret manuals at a relatively low cost.

This is certainly a huge blow to many powerful forces.

But for some independent cultivators, it was a wonderful surprise.

For the rogue cultivators who joined the Dragon Tiger Alliance early on...

Roger was essentially giving it away for free.

After all, these days...

Whether it's following the Star Lord's Dharma Image Young Peng to fight monsters.

They still helped the spirits of Peach Blossom Mountain rebuild the new Peach Blossom Mountain.

They can easily gain contribution points from the Dragon Tiger Alliance.

Stimulated by this secret manual.

Both the development of the Dragon Tiger Alliance and the reconstruction of the new Peach Blossom Mountain are Gallop a Thousand Miles a Day.

The entire Cloud Sea Realm.

They also gradually emerged from the shadow of the demonic calamity.

Under Roger's control, it slowly moved in an unprecedented direction.

Cloud Gathering City.

Immortal Abode.

An unnamed artificial hill.

After greeting Jia Daoren.

Roger successfully found the entrance to the incomplete Two-Dimensional World he had previously sensed.

To his surprise,

This Two-Dimensional World is more than just incomplete.

It's practically an empty shell!

After entering this Two-Dimensional World that doesn't even have a name.

Roger only saw a vast expanse of white, snowy screen.

Above and below the sky.

in all directions.

They're all similar scenes! Between the snow-like screens.

It also contains many malnourished trees.

The tree trunks and branches are very thick.

However, there are very few leaves.

It looks exactly like a game scene in "ultra-low graphics settings".

"No..."

Roger looked at the puddle of water on the ground behind him:

"This water isn't working at all..."

He stepped across the water.

It felt no different from walking on the road.

Roger understood.

Calling it a semi-finished product is an insult to the term.

This thing is just a shell.

They barely managed to build the foundation for a Two-Dimensional World.

As for the contents...

There wasn't even a trace of it.

Roger wandered around in the Two-Dimensional World for a while.

What puzzled him was...

Let's not talk about the content.

He couldn't even find the source material library! That's highly unreasonable.

In general, frameworks with incomplete content will open a door to the resource library.

"Otherwise, where did these bare trees come from?"

Roger activated his full senses but still couldn't find a single clue.

He can be pretty sure that the resource library doesn't exist.

The only thing that puzzled him was that the aura he had sensed earlier was clearly related to the seed of Mythical Creature...

How come we came in but didn't see a single person?

"Etc!"

"These trees!"

Roger suddenly had a thought.

He controlled the two-dimensional character to crash into the thick tree trunk!

"Hint: You have found Ruo Tree. Do you wish to pick it up?"

How can you just pick up such a big tree?

Roger had a sudden thought.

The trees in front of me vanished instantly.

He glanced at it.

He directly added the two-dimensional version of Ruo Tree to the Silent Forest's resource library.

This may be because he did not carry any items that could store two-dimensional resources.

At present.

Roger leisurely bumped around in the empty shell world.

He acquired more and more Ruo Tree.

In this process.

Related information also came into his view.

"Ruo Tree Remnant: Seed of Mythical Creature. One of the four trees in the universe, it can be used to construct the universe..."

The detailed information below is quite extensive.

It roughly describes the origin, types, uses, and unique characteristics of Ruo Tree.

However, this knowledge is too difficult and profound.

Roger could only skim through it.

I got a general understanding of the properties of this thing.

"So these trees are the seeds of Mythical Creature?"

"That's true, Mythical Creature, not just mythical animals, but plants are indeed included in this category..."

"But does this theory of the four trees constructing the universe refer to Two-Dimensional World, or the real universe?"

Roger was a little curious.

In the information related to Ruo Tree.

He miraculously found the other three of the so-called "Four Trees of the Universe".

They are Jian Tree, Xun Tree, and Fusang.

If he wasn't very familiar with Xun Tree and Ruo Tree...

Then Fusang and Jian Tree Roger knew about it.

Isn't that the divine tree from Chinese mythology of the past?

Is the translation system messing up again? Roger tried adjusting the translation mode.

Then it was discovered that the translation results remained unchanged in both modes.

This greatly surprised him.

He had a vague realization.

This Ruo Tree may truly be extraordinary.

So he collected as many remnants of the Ruo Tree as he could find.

Let's see if we can actually grow a new mythical tree someday.

"Ruo Tree the tree exists, the universe exists; as long as the tree withers, the universe perishes..."

"The universe where those Nine Great Planets are located...?"

Thinking about this...

Roger suddenly remembered the tree beside the Cosmic Stairway! According to the description of the functions of the four trees in the universe in the data.

Could that be "Jian Tree"?

If it's true.

The Messenary and the Cosmic Observatory burned down most of the Cosmic Tree.

There may be even deeper hidden dangers!...

In general.

Apart from the remnants of Ruo Tree and some resource packs.

Roger did not find any more useful supplies in this Two-Dimensional World.

However, out of caution...

He still left a mark here.

In preparation for future visits.

For him.

After the initial novelty wears off.

The Cloud Sea World has become less challenging.

Over the past ten days, he has cleared out hundreds of thousands of monsters, but the attributes he gained were only so-so.

This left Roger somewhat frustrated.

During this period.

He had also been to Sacred Tiger Mountain—

Those are some of the few prehistoric traces left behind in the Western Taren world since the Kunwu Mountain explosion.

He hoped to use this opportunity to find information about the ancient Taren.

But in the end, they still gained nothing.

The Sacred Tiger Mountain has been erased by time.

Roger sensed the presence of the former Taren Palace on this mountain.

But it was merely a breath.

This also made him feel disappointed.

Even in integrating the Cloud Sea World, he did a remarkably good job;

Even though the Dragon Tiger Alliance is thriving and seems poised to unify the Cloud Sea; even though in the eyes of the other extraordinary beings, he is a high and mighty, unassailable Star Lord.

But his encounter with the Vortex Creature made him realize his limitations—

They stayed here quietly, focusing on development and dealing with the calamity.

Meanwhile, Quinan and the Mystra seem to be plotting and participating in a more secretive event.

This gap in quality can be disheartening.

There's always this feeling—

It was as if everything he was going through was something they had already done! Of course, reason told Roger.

Everyone has their own path.

To get involved in the battles between the gods too early.

Actually, it's not a good thing.

Moreover, this is accompanied by an increase in strength.

He also vaguely sensed that he might have already participated in the power struggle among the big shots in some form.

Perhaps in the not-too-distant future.

He will then truly face those great figures he once looked up to! At that time, if he wants to escape his manipulated fate...

He needs to accumulate more trump cards.

After all, from the moment they discovered that Khunan had betrayed them.

His goal was not limited to the gods.

Even above the gods!

In the following days.

Roger controlled the development of the Cloud Sea World according to the established rhythm.

Cloud Gathering City.

The hole created by the collapse of the Vortex Nest in Peach Blossom Mountain has been almost completely plugged.

However, the Aberrant Matter continue to wreak havoc on the surrounding environment.

Don't be fooled by Roger's constant travels.

His attention was actually always focused on Peach Blossom Mountain!

After all, he had already experienced the strangeness of the Vortex Creature.

In order to completely solve the pollution caused by Aberrant Matter.

He has been waiting for good news for the past few days.

Fortunately, he finally received good news!

One afternoon.

The data panel indicates that the disciples of the Clear Spring Sect have finally eliminated a sufficient number of Star-Eating Demon Worms! This brings Roger's collection of magical artifact insights to 24,000!

On the data panel.

"Hint: You have completed the 45th Sin Mark. You have gained a new feat: Entrusted Subjugation."

"Entrusted Subjugation: You can designate a specific monster and entrust its extermination to someone other than yourself, your servants, followers, or disciples."

The target kills the monster.

You will receive benefits related to the Sin Mark and 30% more experience.

Note 1: You need to pay the agent a certain fee, and the minimum value shall not be less than 1 Gold Disc;

Note 2: No more than three types of monsters may be commissioned at the same time;

Note 3: The total number of agents during the same period shall not exceed 10.

The new skill I acquired looks pretty good.

With Roger's current financial resources.

There is a strong tendency for them to transform into evil capitalists.

However, Roger thought about it carefully.

He shook his head regretfully.

"We're too late!"

If only this expertise had come sooner.

Perhaps it still has some use.

But if we come now...

It's kind of a double-edged sword.

The reason is quite simple.

Firstly, Roger's current strength is already extremely formidable.

With the Star Master Authority in hand, the monster-killing efficiency is ridiculously high.

Only the stupid Star-Eating Demon Worms, which he was too lazy to deal with himself, was entrusted to his disciples.

Other monsters, as long as their numbers aren't this exaggerated.

He can handle it himself.

Secondly, and most importantly—

Above Twin Stars.

There aren't many monsters left for Roger!

Yes.

He only realized recently, after wreaking havoc in the Cloud Sea World and encountering many monsters he had met before, that he had almost encountered every type of monster on Mystra Planet!

The situation is better in Quenan.

But there aren't many virgin territories left for him to cultivate among the monster species! There are no new monsters.

Roger's growth in strength will hit a bottleneck! This is one of the reasons why he's been in a bad mood lately!

"To become a star lord..."

"While it signifies unparalleled honor and power, it also means that this planet holds no secrets for me anymore..."

Thinking about this...

Roger sighed softly.

About the future.

He has thought about it a lot.

If he did not bear the burden of being a star lord.

Perhaps he will leave Mystra alone, just like he left Tongma Town.

But times have changed.

After so many events.

Roger found it difficult to sever his ties and responsibilities with the Twin Stars.

therefore.

All other ideas can only be postponed for the time being.

perhaps.

Only after his and Beya's plan succeeds.

Only then could he leave without a trace after accomplishing his task.

Explore other parts of the Nine Great Planets to find entirely new life experiences.

"Perhaps, I could take a stroll through the Sea of Ruins when I have some free time..."

"At least we have the Whale Shark King as our guide..."

With emotion.

The thought suddenly popped into Roger's mind.

The progress bar is complete.

Roger directly poured over 20,000 copies of his magical artifact insights onto the Pure Land Pearl.

On the data panel.

"Prompt: Should I invest all my experience in optimizing the ' Pure Land Pearl '?"

Optimization in progress...

Goal setting: To refine the Pure Land Pearl in a gentler, simpler way, or without harming people.

The magic weapon is being deduced...

The simulation was successful!

You have obtained a brand new method for crafting the Pure Land Pearl!

"Pure Land Pearl (Modified): Simultaneously burn the ' Vortex Demonized People ' with Buddhist Fire, Phoenix Fire, and Immortal Fire. After the demon dies and turns to ashes, there is a 50% chance that the Pure Land Pearl will appear in the ashes."

"I know the Buddhist Fire!"

"I have the Phoenix Fire!"

"Immortal Fire... the Three Flowers Divine Fire should count, right?"

Roger's tips and tricks verified the last point.

But his expression still held a hint of exasperation. "So where am I supposed to find so many ' Vortex Demonized People '?"

Just as Roger was frowning with worry about the origin of the sorcerer.

A familiar yet unfamiliar feeling welled up in his heart.

He instinctively wanted to respond.

But very quickly.

Roger stopped responding.

The next second.

He wielded the Star Master Authority.

They returned to the present world.

We've arrived here.

That feeling of excitement intensified!

Roger looked up.

It just so happens to be a clear, starry night.

He could vaguely see the two bright stars on the Fourth Star Track! (On the data panel.)

"Hint: Your kin (the inhabitants of Longevity Village) have decided to hold a grand ' Sacrifice Ritual ' for you in order to praise your power, extol your light, and express their gratitude!"

"Accept?"

"The Longevity Village?"

"Telodal?"

These two words instantly popped into Roger's mind.

Gradually.

His eyes lit up too.

"Didn't that High Priestess say something before..."

"Is their specialty demons?"
