The Eve of the Ritual
Of all the events that happened yesterday, only now do I learn that my Death World has been upgraded to level six.
Furthermore, it grasped two characteristics, which can be considered a positive aspect.
Shen Hui immediately checked the effects of the two properties.
[Miracle]
[Effect: When a deity from a given world descends upon that world, whether as an avatar or incarnation, it will resonate with the World Will, causing various anomalies and even changes in the environment.]
[The Call of the Father of Sharks]
[Effect: The Deep Ones race has a close relationship with the Father of Sharks. When the Deep Ones race is threatened, they will initiate a summoning ritual to bring the Father of Sharks down.]
The effects of these two World Trait seem to manifest themselves when they lose control.
The Father of Sharks must have been summoned by Deep Ones.
The colossal waves that engulfed the earth were a change brought about by the characteristics of the Miracle World Trait.
Now that Cthulhu can manifest in various forms, he finally possesses proactive combat power and is no longer as passive as before.
However, when Shen Hui viewed the entirety of the Death World from a god-like perspective...
His previously excited expression immediately cooled down considerably.
In the Death World, vast swathes of land are cracked, and many peaks in the Mountains of Madness have collapsed.
These are all remnants of the damage caused by Natural Disaster when the Death World descended to a point of realism.
Even the cities of the steam-powered civilization were affected.
Vast areas of buildings have been reduced to ruins; conservative estimates suggest at least tens of thousands of people have died.
Shen Hui took a closer look and realized that the Natural Disaster had unfortunately damaged the Foundation's shelter.
173 went out of control and ran away, while 049 also slipped away after sensing the presence of the "Pestilence".
Moreover, the deaths caused by this disaster will also bring forth Abomination.
This immediately plunged the Steam City into chaos.
However, this kind of thing happens in Steam City filled with Eldritch Beings phenomena.
It's not that hard to accept.
At the very least, they became more fearful and more afraid of this unknown world.
Post-disaster recovery work has already begun inside, and those people can be said to have a very strong capacity to cope.
Such a disaster and loss of control would not reach the point of destroying them.
There's no need to worry about Shen Hui; they're capable of developing on their own now.
However, these Natural Disaster bring more than just surface damage to the terrain.
The most fundamental aspect is the destruction represented by Natural Disaster.
An aura of destruction permeates these ravaged landscapes.
Although Shen Hui didn't know what impact it would have on the world, he still had to eliminate it.
Looking at the 5000 units of World Origin Power he had just acquired, Shen Hui gritted his teeth and injected 2500 units to allow the Death World to slowly repair itself.
After looking around the Death World to make sure everything was alright,
I also checked the Backrooms of the subsidiary world.
The interior was unaffected, except for a large number of skeletons and mummies.
These were all undead creatures that had absorbed the essence of Huang Lingheng's world during the previous battles.
Since death is already dead, they are utterly dead as well.
These are just Common remains, so there's no need to do anything special with them.
Shen Hui was relieved; the Death World had not suffered too much damage.
Looking at this now enormous Death World, besides its Steam City, the Sea of Death, and the Mountains of Madness...
The rest of the land was barren and seemed too empty.
Shen Hui thought about it and felt that it was still necessary to create some kind of large race.
To fill the void in the world.
However, there's no rush.
The car slowly came to a stop.
"Mr. Shen, we have arrived at our destination."
Shen Hui withdrew from the Death World and nodded in response.
I got out of the car, listening to the noise around me and watching the bustling crowd.
And there's that familiar gate, with the words "Qingbai Market" written on it.
"The smell of everyday life is still the best."
Shen Hui thought of the ritual to become the Death God again, and felt a little heavy-hearted.
If I'm not the one destined for Death God, but someone else... wouldn't that be...?
Shen Hui suddenly wondered if, besides himself, other chosen ones of Death God might emerge?
We'll have to ask Zhiyue about that next time.
The car behind him disappeared on the road. As for why Shen Hui didn't go straight back to the residential area or to the World Association, that remains to be seen.
That naturally meant heading to the underground black market.
Shen Hui had not forgotten that the ceremony held by the Giant God Cult would begin tomorrow.
After waking up from my coma, I was worried that I had missed something.
Fortunately, the timing was just right, which is why Shen Hui didn't plan to stay with Leng Zimeng and the others.
They came to the black market, not to the stronghold of the Giant God Cult.
It's related to Ji Xinfeng.
Shen Hui hadn't forgotten; he had always kept Ji Xinfeng in mind.
Now that I have the opportunity to use the Giant God Cult to help me get rid of him, I certainly can't miss it.
The only thing that needs to be confirmed is Ji Xinfeng's location tomorrow.
Of course, it was impossible for him to openly contact Ji Xinfeng to ask where she would be tomorrow or whether he wanted to meet her.
This is too deliberate.
Therefore, Shen Hui planned to obtain the other party's contact information through the black market and send messages to them using a black number.
Shen Hui changed his clothes outside, using a trench coat, hoodie, mask, and sunglasses to disguise himself.
Instead of using his identity Death God in the black market, he entered with a completely new identity.
Having obtained a new entry card for the black market, Shen Hui entered the black market.
The black market is very quiet during the day, but that doesn't mean it's not open for business.
Although most of them are free stalls, just like a vegetable market, anyone who pays money can sell things.
However, some shops have fixed locations.
Shen Hui had visited the area a few times before and had a general idea of what it was like, including several shops that sold information.
Shen Hui randomly chose a shop called "Know-It-All" (meaning "Know-It-All"). After walking in, a person wearing a yellow smiley face mask greeted him.
"What kind of information does this gentleman need?"
What do you have here?
Shen Hui countered with a question.
"Hey, there's plenty! As long as you have the price, I can get you anything."
"After all, in this line of work, you have to be skilled to survive."
The other party seemed to disdain Shen Hui's question.
However, Shen Hui didn't care. "What about the information on the members of those organizations within the World Association?"
Upon hearing Shen Hui's words, the other person, who had been disdainful just moments before, suddenly straightened up.
You're not kidding?
"You don't have a grudge against the World Association, do you? Brother, let me give you a piece of advice: those are big shots. I suggest you back off."
"What, you're making such a fuss about intelligence trading? I'm just asking you, do you have any?"
"Yes! Of course, we have them. Whose information do you need? What kind of information? The price isn't cheap."
Seeing how serious Shen Hui, the other party didn't say anything more.
"Phone numbers, get a copy of every member of the organization you can get your hands on. The price is negotiable."
