The Task Finally Appeared
Although Lu Li is currently only an avatar here, his perception is clearly now entirely based on a new system: Shadow Vision, Soul Perspective, Vibration Perception, and the unseen factors of fate. All of these tell Lu Li that something is heading this way.
"It's the Wendigo. They've spawned another batch of physical bodies?" Lu Li then used his senses to identify the creatures and, after waiting a while, saw the white figures.
"That's right, a year has passed." Lu Li thought about it and agreed. Looking at the cannibalistic monsters rushing towards them, the sky behind them seemed to have been torn open, like black silt, with matter peeking out from the opening. "But why can't you learn your lesson?"
As if an endless stream of black matter had been poured out, a gigantic black sludge monster engulfed the Wendigo, crushing their invulnerable bodies into bone fragments by the black shadow.
They screamed in mad terror, as if these cannibalistic demons had transformed into innocent young girls, being pinned against a wall by a burly, lewd man. Now, even screaming their lungs out wouldn't save them.
The fact that these Wendigo are merely dead is not so terrible; what is terrifying is that their spirits have not escaped Lu Li's control. After Lu Li Avatar into a pure energy monster, he could no longer suppress spirit monsters by simply releasing large amounts of energy; he could directly touch them with his physical body.
Lu Li captured all the Wendigo spirits and imprisoned them in the umbrella's inner space. Lu Li counted them; including the original one, there were now a total of twenty-four Wendigo spirits.
Then, Lu Li put a Wendigo spirit cannibalism experiment on his agenda. The power of the Wendigo comes from cannibalism among their own kind, but their spirit cannibalism is really rare, because Wendigo will not actively attack their own kind.
However, just because it's rare doesn't mean it's impossible. As long as Lu Li creates the right opportunity, he should be able to create a giant Wendigo spirit using these spirits. At that time, perhaps he can use it to fill the position of Greed.
As Lu Li's mask Integration the Dreamlands, although the Dreamlands was completed, the positions for these permissions were still vacant. There are ten positions in total, including the Three External Factors and the Seven Deadly Sins, but currently only four positions are occupied.
Hatred, one of the three external factors, is currently vacant. Of the seven deadly sins, only Envy and Sloth have hosts. Thinking of this, Lu Li waved his hand, and ten masks appeared in front of Lu Li.
These ten masks are not the original entities, but rather projections of these original entities within the Dreamlands. They are like a key; anyone who obtains these masks has the authority to communicate with the Dreamlands of Lu Li and utilize the original external factors or Original Sin Ability within it.
Lu Li smiled and tossed the mask in his hand. Lu Li wanted, but if there were too many mask projections, their permissions would easily interfere with each other.
Furthermore, these ten masks are closely related to Lu Li, because they are connected to Lu Li's Dreamlands. There are mysterious communication channels between Dreamlands, so as long as the mask projection is in a world with Dreamlands, then regardless of which world it is in, it is possible to establish a connection with the mask projection.
This means that Lu Li has already acquired the initial ability to interfere across worlds. Although this ability is weak, requires the connectivity of the Dreamlands, and has many limitations, it is still enough to surprise many people.
So Lu Li immediately created a set of ten mask projections. He left three at the waterfall and cleaved a stone slab, carving some half-true and half-false information on it. Then he placed the stone slab and the mask projections in the passageway below the waterfall where corpses were stored, and had a corpse hug them, making it look like it had thrown something but failed to escape.
As for how people later discovered these masks and how various stories unfolded in the south, that was no longer Lu Li's concern. He swept one mask down the waterfall, letting it drift away with the river, and happily began his journey with the remaining six masks.
What Lu Li needs to do now is to break through this surface Dreamlands and enter the real world inside. It is strange that the structure of this Land of Stars is that other worlds are Dreamlands inside the world, but this Dreamlands is wrapped outside the world. However, perhaps it is precisely for this reason that it has not been included behind the Gate of Eternal Sleep.
The River of Wisdom presented Lu Li with this trial in the Land of Stars, which the game released in the form of a dungeon quest. Previously, he was preoccupied with his own affairs, but now he can finally think properly about how to clear this dungeon:
[Sub-copy: The Candy House in the Forest]
[Instance Type: Single Player, Competitive]
[Instance Description: Human development and destruction of the environment have angered the spirits of nature, who have given rise to all sorts of strange phenomena to hinder humanity's progress...]
[Instance Objective: Pure Guardian: Dara Forest is humanity's next development target; their chainsaws and bulldozers are advancing into the forest. You need to create guardian monsters here to keep the humans out.]
[Instance Note: You could have tried seeking help from the Spirit of Nature, but due to your lateness, this assistance has been cancelled.]
[Quest Rewards: 1000 Game Points, Gift of the Nature Spirit, Gift of the River of Wisdom (already overdrawn)]
Have fun playing the game!
This is the mission for the second stage of Lu Li: to protect a forest and stop humanity's advance. It seems simple, but in reality, it's hard to say. The first thing to watch out for is bombing by human military weapons. Perhaps such an extreme situation won't occur at first, but as the event escalates, things could change.
Another possibility is that the humans here are just ordinary humans, but Lu Li thinks this is highly unlikely. After all, without using large weapons, it would be quite easy for Lu Li to persuade the humans to give up developing the forest.
However, if Lu Li hadn't dealt with his own affairs and had entered on time, he would have even received help from the spirit of nature. This suggests that the task the player faces might be very difficult. Of course, all of this is just speculation now, as Lu Li has no outside help due to his lateness.
In the following period, Lu Li occasionally released one or two masks and left behind some stone tablets recording the legends of the masks. In short, he Integration all ten masks into this world.
Furthermore, through many stone tablets, a legend was left behind about collecting masks to summon a god and have one's wishes granted. The tablets also categorize and describe the summoning effects of the Seven Mask of Original Sin, the summoning effects of the Three External Factors, and the Tenfold Summoning, among other information.
Lu Li also sensed that before leaving the Dreamlands, some people had already put on masks and gained power. He figured that the Mask Battle Royale would begin soon, but unfortunately, he couldn't stay to watch.
This is the third update. There should be a fourth update before midnight. If that happens, I'll only need one more update to reach the 300 monthly votes needed. To find out which update this time, please see the last chapter of the regular volume. Okay, that's all. Considering how hard Xu Ming has worked, please give me some votes. Of course, a reward would be even better.
