"Could this be the power of a superior talent?" Elder Gu had a bad feeling.
He shouted directly, "Shoot! Kill him!"
"Stop!"
" Elder Gu, are you crazy? Once non-data-based weapons are used, most of Ling Yi's Data Origin will be lost," another elder beside him warned.
Elder Bai, are you an idiot?
"You..."
"Is this the time to worry about that? The Data Origin on Ling Yi is certainly important, but we still need to be able to obtain it."
"And don't forget, this is Duel Domain time. If we lose, the Data Ball will change hands!"
" Elder Gu, I know what you're worried about. Even though Ling Yi can project his energy, he's still only level 22." Elder Bai clearly didn't agree with Elder Gu's statement.
Are you sure he's only level 22?
" Ling Yi has only been an awakened professional for less than a week, how could he possibly reach level 100 and tenth job advancement? Putting aside the level, where did he get the job advancement orb for the tenth job advancement?"
Elder Gu sought stability, but Elder Bai desired to obtain the Data Origin within Ling Yi.
The stronger Ling Yi, the more Data Origin he naturally possesses.
If the Data Ball could completely Plunder Ling Yi's Data Origin, the percentage of data digitization in the Data Ball would inevitably see a huge increase.
"What has our Church of Darkness strived for over centuries? The Data Origin within Ling Yi can at least boost the Data Ball by 5 to 10 percent."
"It's been fifty years since the Data Ball officially launched, and in fifty years, it still hasn't reached 10%."
Neither Elder Gu nor Elder Bai could convince the other, as for that level 60 poison priest, Elder Situ...
He's currently in a half-dead state; once the Corrosion Plague is released, he'll enter a month-long period of weakness.
Now I need someone to help me stand up.
However, he looked utterly bewildered at that moment.
No one knew the horror of the Corrosion Plague better than him; no quantifiable creature could survive for more than ten seconds under the Plague Corrosion.
But now, Ling Yi and Ziying are not only alive, but living very well.
What the hell is that Shield value?
Ling Yi was naturally unaware of the argument between Elder Gu and Elder Bai; even if he had known, he would have simply scoffed.
Their argument was completely pointless.
Because Ling Yi had already raised his hand, and blinding lightning flashed in his palm.
Who just takes a beating without fighting back?
And with so many people gathered together, isn't that practically a sitting duck?
In an instant, a white Chain Lightning shot out from upstairs and plunged directly into the crowd.
White Cereus's Chain Lightning transformed into electric snakes amidst the crowd, darting about in all directions.
A series of terrifying damage values floated up above these people's heads.
In the blink of an eye, more than forty people were turned into charred remains, without even a chance to scream.
Ling Yi's skill was obtained from the system, and it's incomparable to those special effects skills.
If I had to put it in a nutshell, Ling Yi's actions could be called true damage.
The damage dealt by professional players is merely special effects damage, and there is absolutely no comparison.
At this moment, Ziying also left the room to deal with the members of the Church of Darkness who had stormed into the hotel.
Ling Yi did not stop her, but simply put a new Protective Divine Shield on her before she left.
Ling Yi simultaneously drew his bow with both hands, unleashing a continuous barrage of Chain Lightning.
Its terrifying destructive power is enough to confuse anyone who sees it.
"Damn it, fire! Fire! Where's the Rocket? Blow him up!" Elder Bai shouted as he quickly retreated.
But Ling Yi isn't a sitting duck.
Ling Yi had already noticed the Church of Darkness members carrying guns.
The special effects skill Ling Yi is fearless; even without a shield, the special effects skill cannot harm him.
But firearms are different.
He only has four times the stats of an average person now; he can't even withstand Rocket, let alone rockets.
Therefore, upon seeing someone raise a gun, Ling Yi immediately used Flash Step to go from upstairs to downstairs and plunged into the crowd.
He Chain Lightning in his left and right hands as if they were free, throwing them around indiscriminately. Combined with his Flash Step, he quickly reached the group of armed men.
With a few Flash Step, a Lightning spread out, and in a few seconds, he wiped out all the threats that posed the greatest threat to him.
"Damn it, professionals actually use firearms? They have no sportsmanship!" Ling Yi was also a little scared.
With a shield, Ling Yi is naturally not afraid of bullets, since each attack will only forcibly deduct a small amount of Shield value.
But what if someone shoots you from behind someday?
Therefore, from now on, Ling Yi must ensure that the Shield has a full Shield value 24/7.
You only have one life, so being cautious and prudent is perfectly fine.
The Combat looked exciting, but it didn't actually last very long.
In just ten minutes, the entire Church of Darkness was wiped out.
Now only Elder Gu is left.
"How could you be this strong? Even if you have exceptional talent, you couldn't possibly be this strong."
Ling Yi snatched the Data Ball from his hand.
But the Data Ball didn't react at all.
"So, only if you die can I control this Data Ball, right?"
"You know about the Data Ball?" Elder Gu exclaimed in surprise, "Who exactly are you!"
Ling Yi slammed his hand on the other person's shoulder, and in the next instant, he Flash Step back upstairs to his own home.
Ling Yi frowned as he smelled the blood coming from outside the door.
This Little Potato, Ziying, is a bit grumpy!
Although fewer than twenty members of the Church of Darkness died at her hands.
But the deaths of these people were all depicted in rather Masai.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Although Ziying acts like a well-behaved little sister in front of him, she is, after all, Hunter infiltrated into the Church of Darkness.
She's just cute, not that she's unattractive.
Ling Yi first opened his system interface and glanced at it, raising an eyebrow before looking at Elder Gu.
"Come on, tell me, what do you know about this Data Ball?"
Although Ling Yi asked the question, he didn't actually expect the other party to say anything.
It's not a matter of whether the other side is being defiant or not; rather, they are currently in Duel Domain where one side is destined to die.
Ling Yi is definitely not going to die, so it can only be this Elder Gu who dies.
Knowing he was going to die, would he confess?
However, after a moment of contemplation, Elder Gu spoke up, " The Church of Darkness was founded Wu Bai years ago, during the Ming Dynasty."
Good grief, you've somehow managed to travel back Wu Bai years? That's incredibly impressive!
However, Ling Yi did not interrupt, but listened quietly.
Ziying sat down next to Ling Yi, ready to listen to the story.
"The first leader of the Church of Darkness unearthed this Data Ball from an Ancient Tomb..."
The first leader of the Church of Darkness was originally a tomb raider.
On one occasion, an Ancient Tomb of unknown age was discovered in a cave halfway up Mount Tai.
The Ancient Tomb was very simple, consisting of only one stone chamber containing a stone coffin.
The Data Ball was found inside the stone coffin.
Besides the Data Ball, a skeletal imprint was also found inside the coffin, almost integrated with the stone coffin.
The equipment at the time was rather outdated, so naturally, it couldn't analyze anything.
All we know is that this Ancient Tomb has existed for a very long time.
Later, the Church of Darkness re-entered the Ancient Tomb and, using scientific instruments, roughly determined the age of Ancient Tomb existence.
Between 65 million and 100 million years ago.
"You mean to say that this stone tomb is a human tomb from 65 million years ago?" Ziying asked.
"Isn't this ridiculous?"
Elder Gu shook his head and continued, "That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that we detected nanomaterials on this remains. Although the quantity is small, it is definitely nanomaterials."
"Based on our speculation, this person was likely wearing nanomaterial armor or carrying nanomaterial equipment during their lifetime!"
"This person is from a prehistoric civilization, and they also follow the path of technological civilization."
"Based on our speculation, this Data Ball originated from a prehistoric civilization and is the final crystallization of their technological civilization."
"For some unknown reason, this prehistoric civilization vanished, leaving no trace on Blue Star except for this Ancient Tomb and this Data Ball."
Ling Yi frowned, but in his heart he rejected Elder Gu's statement.
It's not that Elder Gu was wrong, but rather that they had a mistake in their understanding.
Because Ling Yi possessed the Appraisal Technique, he knew that this Data Ball was not a product of any prehistoric civilization, but rather something that was naturally formed.
Or rather, it is a product of the Manifestation the World Consciousness of this world.
[ Data Ball - A unique, original item specific to this world]
It is the original thing, and it is unique; it cannot be a man-made object.
However, Ling Yi did not correct the Elder Gu's statement; he was content with what he knew.
"After a period of exploration, the first leader gradually learned some basic uses of the Data Ball, which also allowed him to acquire some extraordinary powers."
"Whenever someone dies nearby, the Data Ball absorbs a portion of its energy. At the time, we thought the Data Ball absorbed soul energy."
"But it's actually a more fundamental form of energy. Once the energy reaches a certain level, it can open up a dungeon space."
"By defeating monsters in the dungeon, your strength will increase, and you can learn some powerful skills, making you one of the first professional players."
"With the help of the first batch of professionals, the first leader quickly established the Church of Darkness. However, this also fostered ambitions of a powerful leader, but he acted too hastily, revealing the existence of the Church of Darkness."
"The early members of the Church of Darkness were almost entirely wiped out by the Great Ming Dynasty, and the first leader was also killed by a hail of arrows."
"The second leader went far away to what is now Western Europe, where he spent decades rebuilding the Church of Darkness."
"The second leader had no ambition for Wang Quan; instead, he focused on researching the Data Ball, and it was because of him that he discovered some of the Data Ball's secrets."
"Back then, our world wasn't digitized; you could only become a professional by clearing dungeons."
"The second leader discovered that Plunder the energy of professionals could activate more functions of the Data Ball, so he frantically created professionals by constantly activating it."
"Then kill the professional to activate more functions of the Data Ball."
"Every subsequent leader of the cult has repeated this process."
"In order to replenish the Data Ball with more energy and open up more instance spaces, each generation of leaders deliberately guides and launches wars."
"It wasn't until fifty years ago that the Data Ball finally met the conditions for digitizing this world, Blue Star officially entered the era of universal professionalism."
Ling Yi frowned. Something about this Data Ball seemed a little off.
I have a feeling this thing is some kind of evil object!
"So, the Data Ball came first, and then the datafication?" Ling Yi asked.
This seems to Taiyi from what I guessed!
