The sweep lasted for several days, and the God King became a golden ray of light that pierced through the Deathly Stillness world.
Protected by his telekinetic powers, he flew close to the barren land, skimming over deep ravines and traversing storm zones filled with howling metal debris.
They encountered many settlements of the Sheath Race along the way.
It is evident that in order to better control the Sheath Race, the Artifact Clan completely dispersed this group and prohibited Sheath Race beings from different settlements from meeting each other.
So wherever he went, he would unseal the consciousness of the Sheath Race and let them lead him to the treasure vault left behind by the Artifact Clan, and take everything inside.
Each treasure vault was enormous, but they contained only basic resources and didn't fetch much price.
However, it also reveals the long-term strategy of the Divine Artifact Clan, leaving themselves ample room for maneuver.
The various hidden methods of warfare, as well as the concealed Space Teleportation connecting to their home world, are all measures taken by the Artifact Race in preparation for the future.
If the Hyperdimension Divine Thought Projection hadn't ended the war prematurely with absolute power, the artifact race would most likely have had a chance to start over.
The Sheath Race he encountered was also part of the Artifact Clan's "revival plan".
Even the Sheath Race's anger towards the Artifact Clan might be a deliberate act by the Artifact Clan.
The goal is that when Sheath Race warrior returns with low health, they can directly absorb a large amount of negative emotions and quickly recover their health.
The layout of the artifact race also fits his stereotype: cold, efficient, and turning everything into a tool.
But he showed little interest in the bloody history behind the Sheath Race.
He didn't come here as a liberator or savior, at least not primarily.
Therefore, they did not have any in-depth exchanges with the Sheath Race, and would leave after taking their spoils each time.
For some treasure troves with an overwhelming amount of resources, or large items that are difficult to collect directly, his approach is simple and direct: Brother Di Zhao, dinner is ready.
This reduces the burden of Spatial Inventory.
Wherever they went, the "revival trump cards" accumulated by the Divine Artifact Clan over many years were completely looted.
When the last treasure trove, located in the far north of the world and hidden beneath an ice-covered rift, was emptied, the God King floated in the frigid wind, overlooking the earth, with statistical information displayed on the plugin interface before him.
The total proceeds from this round of looting and Sacrifice the Di Zhao amounted to 138.4 million.
There's also a warehouse Spatial Inventory of resources that haven't been inventoried.
The total revenue is probably close to 200 million Sacrificial Power.
Now that he had finished looting, he had no more attachment to this Small World.
What the fate of the Sheath Race will be after the seal is lifted is not a question he should worry about.
It's time to go back.
He did not choose to return to the Teleportation Array via the same route.
My consciousness sank into the system interface and found: the self-unlocking function.
This is the best shortcut for every wanderer to return home.
There's a saying on the Forum: "The Di Zhao's sword cleaves the wanderer's body; why seek the old path, one click locks him in the dark room."
The next moment, his body, starting from his fingertips, transformed into countless tiny specks of light, like golden stardust flowing upwards against the current.
It eventually dissipated as a wisp of mist.
A few seconds later, the spot was empty, with only the howling of the northern wind swirling up ice crystals, as if no one had ever been there.
The Forum erupted in chaos after the God King's self-explanation.
The entire battle was live-streamed by the God King, with millions of players watching online.
When the God King unleashed the Golden Blessing Card, Evil Sword Sect and securing victory, the related content quickly rose to the top of the trending charts within minutes.
A Forum expert calculated using a plugin that the guaranteed return for the God King Alliance is over 30 billion Sacrificial Power.
The valuation of the artifact's rules is directly comparable to the "Death Countdown" game acquired by Fate City Casino.
Even disregarding the value of the artifact's rules, the pure resource gains can easily exceed 1.5 billion Sacrificial Power, making a substantial profit.
At this moment, the players who regret selling the Hyperdimension Divine Descent Card are probably the ones who regret it the most.
A few days ago, when he sold it for 12.2 million Sacrificial Power, he was extremely proud and felt that he had made a huge profit.
With this huge sum of money, he enjoyed the finest spiritual food for several days in a row, and also boosted his Star Vein Slot, Rune Weapon, and Monster Soul Level all at once, enjoying his moment in the limelight for quite some time.
But who could have predicted that the winds would shift so drastically in just a few days?
The Blessing Card he personally sent away unexpectedly became the key tool for the God King to break the rules.
Now, he has become the new "sucker" in the eyes of Forum players, and in any post discussing this battle, there are bound to be players making fun of him.
The previous suckers were the same group of players who sold off their " Rule Fragment " at rock-bottom prices.
Comparing the two, it's clear he lost more.
This left him speechless with despair, but he could only accept his fate.
After all, the deal is done, and even if you regret it to the point of despair, there's no going back.
This battle also led to the valuation of the Golden Blessing Card being assessed at a minimum of 1 billion Sacrificial Power.
But so far, no player has been lucky enough to obtain a second Golden Blessing Card.
In contrast to this player's mindset, another group of players was experiencing extreme excitement.
They are the Detailed Study Faction group on the Forum.
Although they are not the strongest group among the Player Camp, they have an endless desire to explore the secrets of this "virtual world," and they work tirelessly to do so.
The live broadcast of the entire battle of the God King, and the subsequent exploration of the home world of the Divine Artifact Race, brought a wealth of new content.
The civilization, social structure, warfare methods, and even the revival plan hidden in their home world—all these provide a wealth of analytical material for Detailed Study Faction.
Secondly, there was the discovery of the Sheath Race.
The tragic fate of this enslaved and domesticated race, whose history was erased, and their symbiotic relationship with the Artifact Race, provide a wealth of information for understanding the Artifact Race.
The brief interaction between the God King and the Sheath Race leader sparked discussions about: whether the Sheath Race possessed the potential for an independent civilization, the mechanism of the forbidden mark on the artifact race, and the truth behind the Sheath Race's defeat.
What delighted the Detailed Study Faction was the vast amount of inherited crystals and documents that the God King had casually taken from various treasure troves.
These things, which the artifact race regards as "sparks of civilization," are merely byproducts for the God King. But for those who love Detailed Study Faction, every crystal and every ancient book may contain lost historical data, or even coordinates of other unknown worlds.
"Brothers, charge! The library has just updated its catalog, adding a new category for Divine Artifacts and Civilizations. There are over 3,700 books and documents, ranging from basic metallurgy to advanced parasitic laws, from racial origins to the incomplete logs of the last interdimensional expedition—everything you could want! Hurry and check them out with me!"
"The decryption team urgently Recruitment new researchers to work on the newly acquired Spiritforged Cipher series."
They were immersed in the joy of piecing together the historical puzzle, cheering for every tiny discovery and arguing endlessly about every contradictory record.
To them, the combined warband led by the God King was plundering tangible resources.
What they are reading is the most valuable knowledge and stories in this virtual world.
The impact of this battle unfolds in two distinct ways: through enhanced combat capabilities and the unveiling of its historical context.
As it turns out, Detailed Study Faction players can often provide potential value for the development of their Player Camp by researching and studying relevant materials.
This time was no exception.
They found three resource points hidden by the Artifact Clan in the Monster World from the Artifact Clan's records.
The Artifact Clan's thinking was simple: a cunning rabbit has three burrows, and one shouldn't put all their eggs in one basket.
The treasure trove of our homeland is the spark of revival.
However, a civilization that survives through Conquest and plunder will inevitably lay more hidden supply points wherever its military might reaches.
These three locations are all possible escape routes.
Multiple Detailed Study Faction groups meticulously analyzed and cross-referenced a vast amount of data and star map coordinates, ultimately pinpointing three coordinate locations, which they then shared for free on the Forum.
The Forum was instantly flooded with discussions about exploration, team formation, and various related topics.
Countless players are eager to participate, and major guilds are taking action.
The news reached A Lan of the Gold Coin Merchant Association immediately.
His choice was to provide the three Teleportation Array for free, leaving the acquisition of the treasure entirely to skill and luck.
A Lan's actions immediately earned unanimous praise from Forum players.
After the Teleportation Array was built on the Colorful Mist Coast, all three treasure vaults were looted in just half a day.
Thus, from the roots of one's hometown to hidden resource points.
All the efforts the Divine Artifact Race made for the future have been completely destroyed.
This force, which was considered "extremely wicked" by the player and skilled at Control the host's emotions, officially withdrew from the historical stage, becoming just another ripple in the player's rise to power.
The Origin Altar.
A massive flow of information kept flooding into Qi Sheng's mind.
The war initiated by the God King was actually won by him behind the scenes.
This indirectly boosted the progress of the Four Gods' revival plan and also brought in a considerable amount of tax revenue.
In addition, there are the benefits from the Dream Island campaign.
--
This gave him the idea to launch another round of Recruitment.
Secondly, two more special Primal Monster have recently been successfully captured by players.
The first one is the Fourth-Generation Origin Source: Deterioration, which was captured by the warband led by player "Fanbaotan" in the Star Sea.
The special effect of the Monster Soul is that after applying the Deterioration effect to the target, the target will be trapped in a continuous cursed state. The specific duration and duration of the effect are affected by the player's mental strength and mental endurance.
This Monster Soul seemed ordinary, but its performance in the test was astonishing.
Players who follow strategies have discovered that once the Deterioration Mark is successfully applied, its duration is only linked to the player's mental energy reserves. As long as the player doesn't die and maintains the energy consumed during the Deterioration's duration, this negative state can theoretically continue indefinitely.
More importantly, this connection transcends distance.
This means that a magic-based or support player who focuses on mental strength only needs to successfully apply a Deterioration to a powerful boss or key target during battle, then turn around and run away to the ends of the earth, hiding in an absolutely safe place.
As long as he continues to take the drug and maintain his energy expenditure, the Deterioration effect will be like a persistent affliction, clinging to the target and continuously weakening their combat power until the end of time, or until the caster himself can no longer hold on.
It's simply a god-tier skill that's long-range, uninterrupted, and forces you to whittle down someone's health.
Especially when dealing with those super bosses with high health, theoretically one Deterioration should be enough to kill them.
This is only the initial application of the Deterioration.
Its Deterioration is further amplified by its ability to be used in conjunction with other features.
For example, Venom, Forbidden Blade, tearing, Plague Poem, decay.
Of these five persistent effects, four are stackable negative status effects.
The Black Armor Snake possesses a Venom property, which can only be triggered by a physical attack.
However, the tearing effect has no limitations; it can be stacked as long as damage is inflicted, and the stacked effect is physical damage.
Physical damage can trigger the Venom Species effect.
This leads to the rule-based amplification logic of the left foot stepping on the right foot.
The player inflicts a Deterioration curse on the target, causing continuous mental damage.
Mental damage triggers three traits: Wither, Plague Poem, and Rend.
Tear triggers the Venom property, Venom triggers the stacked Forbidden Blade property, causing all five properties to simultaneously corrode the target.
Of these five characteristics, the most lethal is undoubtedly the Plague Poem.
Once the stacks are full, the target will be instantly eliminated due to the rule's characteristics.
In the strategy guide's analysis post, one video saw a surge in likes.
The video begins in Testing Space scene, where a player with the game ID "Names have all been taken 123" first generates a test monster with high defense and high health, and then applies the Deterioration trait to this monster.
Then he turned and ran, flying to a safe zone on the test map.
I found a patch of grass, lay down, and began leisurely consuming Spirit Recovery Potion.
You can see from the player's status bar that the Deterioration trait remains connected, and his mental energy decreases regularly like breathing, only to be replenished with potions.
On the other side of the testing ground, the damage numbers were steadily floating above the monster's head.
"Brothers, this is the essence of the curse build. I apply the curse and run, find a safe place to lie down and browse the Forum. The monsters will die on their own. Next, I'll demonstrate the stacking damage effect after applying other negative traits through the Deterioration link----." This player boasted in the video.
Although the test monster has a lot of health, at this rate it might take several days and nights of AFK grinding to kill it.
However, this scene showcased to Forum players the Deterioration gameplay's features of unlimited range and forced health deduction.
The comment section was flooded with replies such as: shameless, I like it, it's too weird.
With the introduction of the Deterioration trait, a brand new branch of playstyles was born on the Forum: the Curse build.
The damage over time effect of this build has been explored in creative ways in the Testing Space. The effect can even stack with Critical Hit attributes, doubling the damage of the five curses.
The only drawback is that too many layers of curses mean a terrifying drain on mental energy.
Strategist players believe that the "Critical Hit + Five Curses" build is simply unplayable for ordinary players.
The terrifying mental energy consumption will instantly deplete the player's mana bar.
A more feasible approach is to focus on Deterioration as the core of the build, combined with 1-2 curses, and incorporating the effects of Eat Qi and Critical Hit. This is the Optimal Solution.
If you really want to play the five curses build, it's best to have team support.
For example, a player in the team is chosen to be responsible for the curse. After marking the target, the player escapes back to a safe area, and the team provides mental energy sustain to this player through the " Siphon " property and the Gluttonous Beast.
Once the target boss is defeated, return to reap the rewards.
However, this method of play is too complicated.
Deterioration is clearly more suitable for a protracted war that can sustain attrition, rather than a burst of damage.
Based on this, a large number of cursed Astral Veins combinations emerged on the Forum.
The most popular build right now is the Astral Veins Pulse build with five curses and Critical Hit, which is called "Evil Archmage" by Forum players.
The second most popular topic is: Qi and Blood Deficiency.
This build revolves around two core Monster Soul: Deterioration and Bloodburn (damage over time and buffs), aiming to deplete the target's Qi and Blood through extreme self-burning.
The Deterioration damage is just a side effect and not very strong; the key is the continuous damage chain, which allows players to unleash a Bloodburn attack on the target at any time.
The third most popular build, with a trend towards taking the top spot, is: Siphon + Deterioration. These two builds, centered around the Monster Soul, are known on the Forum as: Spirit With You.
This Astral Veins combination is unanimously considered by Forum players to be the most bizarre playstyle in the current version.
There is none other than that.
Deterioration provides a persistent connection that ignores distance.
The effect of the Siphon property is that it continuously consumes one's own mental energy and draws it from the target's mental energy.
When these two are combined, the resulting effect of the left foot stepping on the right foot leaves Forum users both amused and exasperated.
In theory, as long as a player successfully applies the " Deterioration " debuff to a top-tier boss, such as Demigod- level target, and maintains this connection, they can continuously draw upon its mental energy remotely to replenish themselves through the Siphon effect.
This means that once a suitable power bank is successfully marked, the player may never need to buy mana restoration potions again.
When you're low on mana, activate the Siphon ability, follow the Deterioration connection, and remotely drain the target's mental energy.
The small amount of mental energy I expended to activate it was negligible compared to the feedback from the Siphon effect.
This strategy doesn't care whether the target lives or dies; in fact, it hopes the target lives as long as possible.
In the eyes of this school of thought, a powerful, top-level life form is an inexhaustible, sustainable, and renewable blue bottle.
It can be described as the most perfect supercharging station.
It has realized the theoretical concept of a perpetual motion machine.
The unorthodox idea of infinite power through parasitism quickly attracted a large number of players to participate in the discussion.
Its popularity has surged, closing in on the top two spots.
However, some strategy-oriented players have pointed out that this playstyle has limitations in actual combat.
For example, how can one safely attach Deterioration to a powerful target? And how can one ensure that the target doesn't become ineffective?
How can players ensure they don't die while maintaining the connection?
As gamers, courting death is in our nature.
To maintain this ideal state of Eternal mana drain, the problem may not necessarily lie with the target, but rather with the player themselves.
However, it is undeniable that the combination of " Siphon + Deterioration " has opened a new door for players to explore the curse-based gameplay.
Its damage output is low, but it's the most annoying "soft knife" for players in the current version of combat.
During this period, all sorts of imaginative curse-based combinations emerged on the Forum like mushrooms after rain.
From the evil archmage who pursues instant bursts of damage, to the Qi and Blood depletion build that focuses on continuous attrition, to the Frankenstein's monster of various mixed control, debuff, and resource plunder strategies, and even the curse plague build created through the "diffusion trait"—the players' imaginations are getting more and more outrageous.
The emergence of the Deterioration Monster Soul has brought the brand-new "curse build" into the players' view.
Currently, many players have already started testing the game, and some have even changed their Astral Veins combinations to complete class changes.
Recognizing the strategic value, top guilds are also starting to build cursed teams, hoping to achieve surprising results in actual combat.
The arrival of a brand-new Monster Soul has changed the entire ecosystem of the Player Camp.
The second Special Soul is the third Origin Source:
Wave barrier.
This is yet another probabilistic Monster Soul full of "gambling" elements.
The initial level 1 effect is that, upon release, an unstable rule barrier is formed on the body surface, and any damage taken by the player will be randomly reduced to between 50% and 200% of the original damage.
This means that what would otherwise be a fatal attack could be weakened to half damage by the barrier, allowing the player to escape from a desperate situation.
Similarly, a blow that could otherwise be withstood might be amplified by the barrier into double damage, causing the player to die instantly.
As the level of the Monster Soul increases, the upper and lower limits of fluctuation will gradually narrow, and the stability will increase, but the essence of gambling remains unchanged.
From the perspective of most players who prioritize stability and control, the effect of this Monster Soul is arguably a negative improvement.
After all, no one wants to pin their hopes for survival on uncontrolled gambling.
Therefore, the Wave Barrier Monster Soul is considered by many players to be useless, or even a trap.
The only suitable match is for players who have equipped the " Good Luck " Monster Soul.
For example, the Forum generally agrees that the most suitable group is the Youngster Group of players.
They were already following the path of probability amplification, with Good Luck and infinity being their two core Monster Soul. Having an additional probability defense wouldn't be bad either, so they simply went all the way down the probability-based gameplay.
The Forum even sparked a discussion about whether probability-based gameplay was feasible, all centered around the Fluctuation Barrier Monster Soul.
Supporters argue that as players, we should embrace uncertainty, experience dancing on the edge of a knife, and transform the relatively fixed pace of hunting and growth into a high-stakes gamble full of anticipation—a romance that Transcendence mere numbers.
In the future, there will be more and more Monster Soul with increased probability.
Infinite Monster Soul increases the probability of damage reduction, while the Fluctuation Barrier increases the probability of damage reduction.
Perhaps in the future there will be a series of adaptable gameplay elements such as probability of dodging, probability of healing, and probability of hitting.
In theory, the "dog betting" strategy can also yield considerable results.
After all, no gambler can lose forever; there's always a time when they get a thrill.
The core issue in curbing the "gambling dog" playstyle is the extreme scarcity of Luck-enhancing Monster Soul, resulting in too many weaknesses in the system.
It prioritizes entertainment over actual combat performance.
Forum strategy players generally believe that as more Primal Monster capable of amplifying luck are contained in the future, the "gambling" strategy will usher in its golden age.
At that time, all probability-enhancing Monster Soul will receive epic-level upgrades.
The "gambling dog" strategy might become a super strategy alongside other popular strategies.
Qi Sheng had seen all the discussions among the players.
With the addition of the new Special Soul "Deterioration" and "Fluctuation Barrier," the player's Soul Repository now contains a total of 239 Monster Soul.
The options available to players for customization are also increasing.
Currently, the only thing restricting players' free development of ideas is the Astral Veins Level.
Currently, veteran players need to accumulate Sacrificial Power for a period of time to upgrade their Astral Veins Level, unlike in the early days when it only took several days to open a Star Vein Slot.
Veteran players generally still have around 11 Star Vein Slot; acquiring the 12th Star Vein Slot would require 512,000 Sacrificial Power.
Each additional Astral Veins opened Sacrificial Power twice the price of the previous Star Vein Slot.
After assessing the current state of faction development, Qi Sheng decided to launch a new round of player Recruitment.
This time, he plans to release 1 billion player slots to the public, transforming the stored Sacrificial Power into a new driving force for faction development.
But before that, he thought of something he had considered before.
" Guidance, why don't you try using your ability to All Things Analysis to predict the future?"
In response to the inquiry, the Guidance figure appeared out of thin air beside Qi Sheng, and said solemnly:
[Boss, I haven't recovered yet. The deduction process requires Sacrificial Power to proceed, and the deduction content cannot cover the entire Monster World. It can only be based on the current Player Camp's activity area, and then gradually extended through deduction.]
[If, during the deduction process, there are Black Tide God, Insect Race Supreme Main Brain, or even Black Tide Demon Gods who, like me, possess Supreme Origin, their power exists, the deduction will be affected by the rules, resulting in a certain degree of deviation.----]
The Sacrificial Power consumed throughout the process will be terrifying.
Qi Sheng naturally understood the meaning of the Guidance.
Ultimately, it all boils down to: poverty.
But the Monster World is changing rapidly, and he still wants to glimpse a glimpse of its future trajectory.
"Let's try it out first, and be prepared to stop at any time. At the very least, we need to save up the Sacrificial Power for the next round of Recruitment."
Upon hearing Qi Sheng's answer, the Guidance immediately nodded:
[Boss, I'll listen to you.]
As soon as the words were spoken, Guidance azure figure suddenly shone brightly, transforming into a miniature Stars containing an infinite flow of information.
Deep within his eyes, countless fine golden runes cascaded down like a waterfall.
The relevant feedback was simultaneously displayed in Qi Sheng's mind as an information stream.
[ All Things Analysis, Future Variable Prediction Mode, activated.]
[Loading information----]
[Loading: Player Camp current status database: Soul Repository, Astral Veins Combination Distribution, Guild Power, Resource Flow Model----]
[Loading: Known World Region Geographic and Rule Parameters ( Pale Continent Ecosystem, Colorful Mist Coast Ecosystem, Broken Sand Spear Ecosystem, Adventurer World Ecosystem----)]
[Loading: Recorded historical major event variable nodes----]
[Loading: Observable behavioral patterns of high-threat individuals----.]
[Establish dynamic analysis model ---- Loading complete ---- Begin consuming Sacrificial Power to predict future scenarios.]
A massive stream of information immediately flooded Qi Sheng's mind.
Deep within the Origin Altar, the vast Sacrificial Power Pool, formed by countless players' Conquest, Sacrifice, and tax collection, suddenly began to boil.
The crimson, boundless Sacrificial Power burned like a flood, pouring into the operation of the "Authority for All Things Analysis," Guidance the simulation of all Myriad Phenomena.
The Guidance light around it intensified, and countless fragments of light and shadow flickered around it.
On the Pale Continent, player strongholds spread like fungi, clashing fiercely with various forces.
The eddies in the waters Colorful Mist Coast suddenly expanded, a new force emerged in the surrounding seas, and Shuyan was plunged into a fierce battle.
The energy channels of the Broken Sand Spear deviated abnormally, triggering an ancient seal deep underground, and a roar seemed to pierce through the veil of space and descend.
The dungeon system in the Adventurer World has been upgraded.
A billion new players have flooded in, rapidly forming a massive underlying ecosystem.
New tactical styles such as the "curse build" have gradually matured in actual combat.
The simulated images flashed, intertwined, and evolved rapidly, as if an epic of the rise and fall of civilizations had been sped up a million times.
The water level in the Sacrificial Power Pool dropped at a visible rate, and the scarlet light dimmed somewhat.
The images in Qi Sheng's mind kept increasing, with countless streams of information and event nodes intertwining to form a constantly flashing picture of the future.
The entire process lasted less than a minute.
"Enough." Just as the water level in the Sacrificial Power Pool reached his psychological limit, Qi Sheng decisively ordered it to stop.
[Drill terminated.]
The Guidance light around him instantly receded, and the vast torrent of information also came to an abrupt halt.
The Sacrificial Power Pool stopped boiling, but the amount already consumed was a terrifying, suffocating figure for any player guild.
Qi Sheng stood on the Origin Altar, his consciousness sinking into the future vision that had been obtained through burning a massive amount of Sacrificial Power.
A deluge of information washed over his consciousness, and all the information was scrutinized.
At this moment, a faint source of information with its own retrospective properties, constantly restarting itself on the timeline, caught his attention.
It's like a grain of sand stuck in a gear, flickering repeatedly in the torrent of the anticipated future, yet remaining out of place.
"Interesting," Qi Sheng murmured, his consciousness focused on the fleeting stream of information.
It is too faint and incomplete; it is but a tiny variable in the picture of the future.
[This is likely related to high-level Primal Monster, and may be information connected to the Tenth-Gen Primal.]
The Guidance then provided an analysis.
Qi Sheng did not respond; he needed to observe the information flow more closely, or even touch it directly.
Once the thought arose, there was no more hesitation.
He slowly raised his right hand, his five fingers loosely clenched.
Buzz!
Behind them, a towering crimson phantom suddenly appeared.
The illusory eyes shimmered with Liu Guang, gradually bursting forth with dazzling divine light that pierced through reality and illusion. Countless illusory stars followed and swirled around it, and the radiance of various laws intertwined and burst forth, instantly enveloping the entire Origin Altar in a magnificent domain of laws.
[Boss, are you trying to intercept this information stream from the future?]
"Is that not allowed?" Qi Sheng asked calmly.
[Since you possess the essence of the Di Zhao, this is naturally feasible.] The Guidance nodded.
"Since you've seen it, then take it," Qi Sheng said softly, before suddenly reaching forward and grabbing at it.
The crimson phantom behind him moved in sync.
A gigantic, illusory hand, entirely constructed from the essence of the Di Zhao and the boiling Sacrificial Power, ruthlessly tore apart the blurred boundary between the present and the future. Ignoring spatial barriers, it defied the still-unsettled Cause and Effect turbulence and fiercely probed into the depths of the dissipating future landscape, its target being the faint source of information that kept retracing its course.
Boom!!!
Deep within the Origin Altar, the Sacrificial Power Pool, which had just calmed down, began to boil again.
The crimson Sacrificial Power, even more Berserk than in previous calculations, was frantically extracted and burned, transforming into fuel to support the hand of time and space as it traversed the void.
The water level in the Sacrificial Power Pool plummeted at a rate visible to the naked eye.
The illusory hand moved through the boiling turbulent currents of Cause and Effect and effect, surrounded by fleeting glimpses of the future.
With unwavering resolve, his arm moved forward, finally, at the very last moment before the source of the retrospective information was about to completely dissipate into the Ember of the deduction.
His five fingers, like a net drawn from the sky, suddenly snapped shut!
It firmly grasped the "Serpent of Time" that was trying to escape.
"Come back!" A fierce glint flashed in Qi Sheng's eyes, and he suddenly pulled his clenched hand back.
Sizzle!
It was as if an invisible barrier had been forcibly torn apart.
A stream of information, flickering with an unstable light, was abruptly pulled from the deduced future scenario, crossing the boundaries of time, space, illusion, and reality, and appeared before Qi Sheng's eyes.
It wriggled like a restless little snake.
The cost of capturing this information snake was that the Sacrificial Power Pool's reserves, which had already been projected to be depleted, had noticeably decreased.
The remaining Sacrificial Power was barely enough to sustain the billion-person Recruitment plan.
Qi Sheng dispersed the crimson phantom and the starry river of rules behind him, looked down at the stream of future information he had plundered in his palm, and a hint of curiosity appeared in his eyes.
With a slight thought, the contents of the information stream unfolded in my mind.
After learning the details, a smile appeared on his face, "Interesting, this will come in handy."
