Chapter 123 122: Treasures of the Gods

Zhou Baiyu had a long dream. In the dream, he saw Dr. A, Sister Lin, and a dark shadow with its back to him.

It seems that many parties are intertwined together, forming a chessboard over a large area.

Then, he discovered that he was the chess piece.

But just when he was about to take a closer look at the chess moves, interpret this dream, and try to get rid of his identity as a chess piece and become a chess player——

He woke up.

After being in a coma for a day and a night, Zhou Baiyu woke up. When he woke up, Zhou Baiyu was in a half-collapsed building.

Not long before, the night demons had been cleaned up outside the building. The air was filled with the aroma of meat.

Many people who woke up were originally frightened when they looked at the corpses of Night Demons on the ground.

But they are really hungry. Once Yongye's magic circle is destroyed, humans will also face a problem - they have gained freedom, but they must solve the problem of survival.

Just like the animals kept in the livestock shed, in the eyes of the night demon, this is charity to humans.

And every bird that walks out of the cage and every fish that returns to the sea must face this choice. But after all, they must run for freedom.

Zhou Shou's behavior of eating meat solved the urgent need of this group of people.

Zhou Baiyu was imprisoned by Zhou Shou in a certain floor of an abandoned building that collapsed in half.

When Wu Xin saw Zhou Shou, he was shocked. He could see a person's destiny, but judging from his ability as a first-level destiny gatherer, the person in front of him seemed to have no destiny at all.

Taotie's destiny?

In a sense, this kind of person is more like the protagonist Long Aotian than those powerful people with destiny.

Behind Zhou Shou, there is luck with the faint traces of ferocious beasts.

Luo Hui told Zhou Shou some things from a certain distance.

Therefore, Zhou Shou knew that this group of people were all slaves who were trapped in dreams and tortured by the eternal night. These people and even himself were rescued by his brother.

I also know that my elder brother seems to be called Jiang Xianwu.

But he couldn't remember his brother's real name. It seemed that when he was very young, he had always called him brother for as long as he could remember.

Later, I changed my name to eldest brother, but I don’t know the name either. The two brothers have different names in different places. The elder brother is always very thoughtful and uses different names when meeting different people.

So he didn't think Jiang Xianwu was his real name. Of course, the name wasn't important either.

Zhou Shou still blocked everyone outside, preventing them from having a chance to meet Zhou Baiyu.

"Ugly monsters, don't come near us until my brother wakes up and before he says he wants to see you, otherwise I won't mind eating human flesh."

The crazy temperament exuded by Zhou Shou made no one doubt that he was telling the truth.

Yun Duo was quite worried, what happened to Jiang Xianwu.

Fortunately, Zhou Baiyu woke up not long after.

In the dilapidated house, the two brothers talked a lot.

"It turns out that big brother used this watch to reverse the darkness. It's really a powerful tool. I may not be able to kill Yong Ye. At least I may not be able to defeat it at night."

"But if there is light, it shouldn't be difficult to kill it."

"Brother, I seem to be running out of time."

After the magic circle of the God of Nightmare and Nothingness ended, everything that bound everyone seemed to have disintegrated.

Time in the circle does not stop, everyone is growing and changing.

But all the rules stopped counting.

Only now are the rules starting to tick again.

As a retrograde man, Zhou Shou's time to stay is different from that of the forerunners.

When the formation ends, the closer the place where the retrograde goes to version 2.49, the longer he can stay.

For example, if he goes to version 1.0 in the future, he can only stay for a short time, but now he can stay for a day and a night or more.

Feeling something strange in his body, Zhou Shou knew that this meant that the rules of the retrograde were back in effect and he was about to go back.

Getting together is always short-lived, but as long as we meet, there are infinite possibilities for the future.

"I will call you Zhou Shou from now on."

"You are the famous Demon King Hunter, a true hunter. From now on, you can call me Zhou Baiyu in private and Jiang Xianwu in front of others."

"Or you can always call me big brother."

Zhou Shou nodded crazily. While Zhou Baiyu was sleeping, Zhou Shou carefully observed Zhou Baiyu. The more he observed, the more satisfied he became. The main points are as follows -

My brother is really good-looking, better-looking than the best I have ever seen.

And - my brother's carrot is so big, he seems to be bigger than me...

He had seen many ugly creatures, so he became even more proud of his brother's good looks.

He also liked the name Zhou Shou very much. Of course, as he said before, even if Zhou Baiyu gave him a name like Goudan, he would definitely like it very much.

That's what Zhou Shou is like.

He couldn't remember his last name at all. What he was thinking at the moment was - so the dead father's last name was Zhou?

In fact, Zhou Baiyu really wanted to say, if you go to version 1.0 in the future... it's best not to kill Da Feng Qi Xi.

Of course, Zhou Shou definitely doesn’t know Da Feng Qi Xi. Zhou Baiyu’s request is that it’s best not to kill people...

But he didn't do this in the end. When the idea came to him, he thought about it again habitually and found that it was not advisable——

"Now it seems that Zhou Shou and I are officially recognized as brothers."

"I can feel that Zhou Shou is a serious brother-controller...but I also have to protect this younger brother."

"The mission given to him by the Seven Demon Emperors is to hunt down the forerunners. If he doesn't comply, I'm afraid it will also arouse suspicion."

"Besides, if what I am changing here is Zhou Shou's future... and Zhou Shou's future is our past."

"Retrograde and forward are opposite directions. If the past is covered, it is difficult to guarantee my future experience."

These thoughts allowed Zhou Baiyu to follow the timeline completely.

He seemed to smell a sense of destiny.

But this in itself is not important.

"After I become a retrograde man, I will be able to see the new timeline, divided according to versions... Brother, I will wait for you in version 2.49. Maybe we will meet again in the future!"

Zhou Baiyu actually always felt that the encounter between him and Zhou Shou was a very strange thing... as if someone was pushing it.

But this is always a good thing.

Before Zhou Shou was about to disappear, Zhou Baiyu asked in order to find a place for the people who had awakened in the Kingdom of Light to go:

"Do you know where this version of the White Witch is in history?"

"Brother, are you going to kill the White Witch? I want to eat her so much! The corruptive characteristics of her body are very tempting."

Zhou Baiyu was embarrassed.

Zhou Shou's problem is quite big... Fortunately, he at least listens to himself.

"No, this group of people need a place to go. I can give them a token to help them find the White Witch."

"As for the White Witch, don't touch her. Just let her grow. You are her uncle, so don't bully her in the future."

Zhou Shou tilted his head like a Shiba Inu, looking at Zhou Baiyu with puzzled eyes.

"Me? The White Witch's uncle? Brother...what are you talking about?"

In terms of timeline, the White Witch is a corrupt species many years older than herself?

Zhou Shou is a child in the 2.0 era. Bai Ling is a child in the 1.4 era.

Obviously, there is a big age gap. Although the corrupt species are almost immortal, Bai Ling basically no longer has a growth trajectory after he grows to a suitable age.

Just like the real face stitched into the body, it also looks like a young man.

Even mental growth is far inferior to that of humans.

But...according to human rules, Bai Ling is many years older than Zhou Shou.

Zhou Baiyu also wanted to understand this:

"You know, the Forerunners always appear in strange versions..."

"Anyway, I recognize her as my daughter."

Daughter?

Zhou Shou was shocked. Although he didn't know the process, he felt greatly shocked.

He used to think that his eldest brother was very powerful, but after he passed out and checked carefully, he found that his eldest brother was actually very weak, quite weak.

But at this moment, the crazy Zhou Shou grew up and realized that there is a kind of person in this world whose power cannot be calculated according to common sense.

"Brother, this is really great! The White Witch's power is actually not far from Hechuan City, and Hechuan City and Linxiang City are very close to each other.

Zhou Shou will gradually get to know Zhou Baiyu's connections in the future.

At the moment, Zhou Shou's figure has become illusory. He is about to return to version 2.49.

After the two brothers solemnly said goodbye, Zhou Shou disappeared without saying a word.

After Zhou Shou disappeared, Zhou Baiyu also felt a little disappointed.

But after thinking about it, it seemed that it didn't matter, he and Zhou Shou would eventually meet again.

And everything in my memory is still there, which means that I have done everything on the right track.

"My intuition tells me that I have reached a closed loop, like a snake biting its own tail. But who in the end facilitated this closed loop?"

"Perhaps we can only know these things after asking Sister Lin?"

The customs clearance assessment has not yet appeared, which means that I actually still have a little time.

It was only after Zhou Shou left that Zhou Baiyu took out the palm-sized crystal that Zhou Shou had stuffed into his chest.

This is the key to allowing Yongye to create a lightless kingdom - the mysterious treasures.

Such a small piece of stuff has plunged countless people into near-eternal darkness. Let Xiu Shen not hesitate to offend the seven demon emperors and take risks to cooperate with the night demons.

They also asked the Seven Demon Emperors to send Zhou Shou to investigate, but they almost got Zhou Shou in.

He was cautious, like a child carrying gold.

He began to observe the item, and soon the alienator talent allowed him to see the description of the item.

This is probably one of the most complex items Zhou Baiyu has come into contact with.

[Item name - Taixu's Dream (Uncontracted status, current divine grant progress: 0.)]

[Specialty: When an item is priceless, even if it is just a emasculated version, it does not need to have any advantages. 】

[Introduction 1: King God once had a dream, in which nothingness would swallow everything and the world would return to chaos. Although he knew that this was a dream of the same nature as nothingness itself, he still recorded the dream and carved it into the leaves with divine power.

superior.

As the King God disappeared, the leaves fell and became a piece of crystal, but it also recorded a nightmare that the King God had during his lifetime.

The crystals contaminated with the divine power of the King God will have the power to allow species to enter the realm of gods.]

[Introduction 2: Divinely-given objects can be divided into two categories, one is an item with the aura of the King God, and the other is an item with the aura of the Corrupt God.

The item in your hand is an item with the breath of the king and god. It has certain requirements for the user, and the user must meet a certain threshold before the divine grant can be activated.

To activate divine grant, you must form a contract with an item. Once you form a contract, you will completely abandon your existing gods and block the inheritance path of the God of Difference and Chaos. You will no longer be a forerunner, and you will always remain a forerunner.

world.

Other people will not be able to receive the divine gift from this item unless——kill you with their own hands.】

[Introduction 3: Most of the things granted by the gods have a great possibility when the divine fetus has not been condensed and completed.

But this item in your hand is, after all, related to the King God’s dream from the beginning, and after forming a contract with Yong Ye, it further completed the shaping of the divine fetus, so the divine fetus has been shaped - nightmare and nothingness

.

If you complete the divine grant through this item, you will become the "God of Nightmares and Nothingness". This may be a god with powerful divine power, you can consider it carefully. After all, in the dream of the King God, nothingness swallowed everything.

But again, if you choose a new path, you will give up the old one.】

[Introduction 4: Since it is currently in an uncontracted state, because the progress of the divine grant is 0, and the despair value absorbed by Yong Ye completely dissipates after Yong Ye's death, this item is currently equivalent to a castrated version of the earliest form.

Even if you choose a divinely-given contract, you still need to make people feel desperate like Eternal Night. Use despair to increase the progress of divinely-given.】

[Introduction 5: Although it is in an incomplete state, as one of the mysterious treasures, it still has strong initial abilities.

Ability 1——

Moment of Nothingness: Put yourself in a state of nothingness for a short period of time. You can be sensed, but cannot be attacked. You cannot attack others. The length of time is related to the user's will.

Ability two——

Dream Cage (Forerunner Mode):

The recruitment area you clear will serve as your mental protection world. Anyone who attempts to launch a mental attack on you (including but not limited to brainwashing, hypnosis, memory implantation, memory overwriting, charm, etc.) will be transported to your other world.

.

The content of the inner world needs to be arranged by yourself in the dream world. The selection of materials for the arrangement will be related to the area you have passed.

You can also create characters in the other world, and the character selection will be your network of contacts in the advance world.

Of course, you can also take the initiative to pull the other person into a dream, but this requires a lot of emotional accumulation.

Ability Three——

The dark golden buff is given to: Philosophy of the God of Dreams and Nothingness.

Effect: Due to the difference and the constitution of the God of Chaos, the description of this effect has been turned into a riddle, the activation conditions are unknown, and the effect of the ability is unknown.

Riddle description: Am I a dream of King God? Or is King God a dream of mine?]

[Status: What are you thinking? Obviously alienation is impossible. Consider your level, "Alien".]

It's over. Zhou Baiyu can't imagine that an item has such a long description.

"This is indeed an incredible treasure. Yongye has formed a contract with him, so he can be almost invincible in his dreams."

"It's no wonder that the seven demon kings didn't dare to come by themselves, so they had to send Zhou Shou."

After seeing the item description, Zhou Baiyu finally understood a lot of things.

"Yongye wants to create a world of despair, a lightless country, and it must be to activate the treasures of the gods."

"This god, I have to say, should be a very powerful god. If Yongye really completes the divine gift... maybe everything will be just like the dream of the King God, and the world will return to nothingness."

Thinking about it this way, Zhou Baiyu realized that in a sense, he had saved the world, right?

But now, he faces a choice.

"Do I want to be this god?"

This is actually not a question, Zhou Baiyu also has the answer in his heart.

"Although the word "god" represents infinite possibilities, if I were to choose, I would prefer to shape the divine fetus into a god who can lie flat or be in ruins, a god who can lie flat or be in ruins."

The forerunners used the treasures of the gods to complete the divine grant, but the price was too high.

To give up the original inheritance, Zhou Baiyu thought for a while... It was difficult to tell which one was stronger, the God of Chaos and Difference, or the God of Nightmare and Nothingness.

But, he doesn't want to change.

In fact, if it were another alienated person, he might really feel attracted to him, and he might not be able to resist and choose it.

In the eyes of most alienated people, the God of Difference and Chaos is just a stupid god of dog gambling.

There is no future for alienated people either.

Although I don’t know what kind of upgrade system the God of Nightmare and Nothingness will bring after forming a contract, but it must be much more powerful than the God of Difference and Chaos in the early stage, right?

Of course, this is what other alienated people think. Zhou Baiyu doesn't think so. He has already vaguely felt that the power of Lezishen may be beyond imagination.

Rather than letting the world return to nothingness... he still prefers to make the world a little more odd.

"For the sake of my loyalty to you, I hope you won't treat me as a joke in the future."

Zhou Baiyu put away the treasures of the gods and whispered to the ceiling, as if he was talking to the gods who turned into rules.

Overall, he is very satisfied with this harvest.

I always feel that as long as I experience enough areas, I will have an extra trump card when dealing with the Succubus Queen Lena and monsters like the Desire Demon who are good at bewitching and mentally attacking.

Perhaps Taixu Dream's second ability is as powerful against succubi, lust demons and other spiritually corrupt species as a watch is against night demons.

Of course, Zhou Baiyu also has another possibility - cultivating gods.

The treasure of the gods is in his hands, but it is just a castrated product. Although the abilities it has given are very good, there is still one whose effect I don’t know.

But after all, there are a few more trump cards.

But if these mysterious treasures are used to cultivate people who advance the world, maybe they can really bring out the role of this secret treasure.

But at least now, Zhou Baiyu has not met such a person.

And given that divine advancement requires the desperation of others... he ultimately rejected this possibility.

…

…

The next thing is that Zhou Baiyu is arranging where to go for the people in the Country of Light.

The watch that could reverse day and night was completely damaged.

But the watch can still be clearly identified.

So Zhou Baiyu handed the watch to Yun Duo.

"Take them to find the White Witch. Be sure to state your intention, show him this watch, and tell her that when the time comes, I will fulfill my agreement with her."

"She will accommodate you."

Yun Duo was a little confused:

"Jiang Xianwu, what does she have to do with you?"

Jiang Xianwu turned around, stood with his hands behind his back and faced everyone, and said inscrutably:

"Father and daughter."

…

…

After pointing out the direction and arranging everyone, Zhou Baiyu originally wanted to chat with Wu Xin and others, but found that... Wu Xin, Xin Kui, and Luo Hui had all been teleported back not long ago.

They recruited version 2.23, and the tasks were also different.

But because Zhou Baiyu directly killed Yong Ye at the root, the tasks of several other forerunners were also completed.

Based on the fact that neither the Kingdom of Light in 2.23 nor the Kingdom of Light in 2.33 will appear anymore.

Therefore, Luo Hui, Xin Kui, and Wu Xin are all rated SSS.

And they all received a title that no forerunner had ever received before - Blade of Light.

Although everyone contributed, Wu Xinluo Hui and others knew very well that Jiang Xianwu definitely took 90% of the credit.

But the assessment is that they all received SSS ratings. It felt like Jiang Xianwu and I were killing the Night Demons together.

Since everyone came in with version 2.23, they returned to the transfer station first.

So Zhou Baiyu had time to arrange for Yunduo and the others to point out a way for the people of the Lightless Country.

But this road...Zhou Baiyu couldn't guarantee safety.

He didn't know what would happen to Yun Duo and others in the future.

In this world, everything will not be fine if there is light. We can escape the endless night, but we cannot escape the doomsday.

But he can only help so much.

…

…

After everything was settled, Zhou Baiyu lay in the abandoned building, silently waiting for the moment to return.

Sometimes after completing the task, you will go back to the transfer station directly, and sometimes after completing the task, you will have some extra time.

Obviously he has more time this time and has a lot of things to deal with. But they have all been dealt with.

Thinking of the transfer station, Sister Lin, and all the friends in Linxiang City, Zhou Baiyu looked at the light coming in from the broken window... and smiled.

At this moment, the halo shone on his face, and the customs clearance evaluation appeared in his eyes.

[Customs clearance performance evaluation: SSS level.]

[Unlock achievements: Blade of Light (obtained by only four people), Breaker of Divine Paths (the only achievement).]

[Reward for clearing the level: The Dream of Taixu in the Treasure of the Gods is an item that the gods are more afraid of.

Perhaps the God of Nothingness is an extremely terrifying existence for both the new gods and the old gods. It is a terrible thing for the world to return to nothingness. The dreams and sweet dreams of the King God should naturally come true, and nightmares should return to nothingness.

So when you get out of the Treasure of the Gods itself, you will get a generous reward. Since you still have advance value x6, you will get 15,000 advance points. For the rest of the rewards, please contact the middleman for details.

After three minutes, you will leave the current recruitment scene.】

"There are quite generous rewards. I feel like I'm not far from the third-level alienated person, right?"

Zhou Baiyu didn't know exactly how much experience the percentage reward was, but at this moment he was convinced that he had not successfully entered the third level.

Although he was eager to see Sister Lin, Zhou Baiyu still fulfilled his promise to Dr. A.

Nowadays, Zhou Baiyu has a bulging wallet, and in defeating Yong Ye, he has indeed used his anti-corruption ability, so when the three minutes are up, Zhou Baiyu gives priority to Dr. A's transfer station.

…

…

In the laboratory, Dr. A still looked the same, busy with his various experiments.

The moment Zhou Baiyu appeared, Dr. A was stunned for a while and then slowly said:

"Although because the transfer station is still there, I know you are still alive..."

"But being alive in a dream is no different from being dead."

"I have to say that you are becoming more and more special. As a human being who carries many mysterious treasures, you'd better keep this secret."

"But we can discuss these things later. Anyway, welcome back Pioneer. I can't wait to sell my products to you."

Dr. A stopped what he was doing, turned around, and looked at Zhou Baiyu with a wicked smile.

Although that face was full of calculations, it was still better than darkness.

"Being able to stay in the advance world for so long and still be alive is an incredible thing in itself, and being able to obtain the treasures of the gods is even more incredible. I must say, Jiang Xianwu, you are really an anomaly."

Being an alien is probably the best compliment to a believer in alienation.

Dr. A continued:

"With three hundred advance points, I will eliminate some of the sequelae after you launched the anti-corruption."

"With 470 advanced points, you must take some drugs that inhibit anti-corruption and activate anti-corruption for the second time, which will put your body on the verge of losing control."

"Fortunately, you gave me enough time to solve this problem."

"Don't worry, 770 advance points will make you feel as if you have never entered the anti-corruption state."

"But remember one thing, the more anti-corruption is turned on, the stronger you will be after entering the state, but the side effects will be greater."

"When you turn on the anti-corruption state for the third time, you'd better pray that your body won't have some permanent characteristics that even I can't eliminate."

"Moreover, it is not cost-effective to use anti-corruption in the advance world, but since you have used it, I can't say anything. The situation at that time probably also pushed you into a desperate situation."

"Finally, it is an ability to fight against corruption, which may be of some help to you, but as for the price, you know, I can only tell you that my stuff is worth every penny."

Zhou Baiyu is interested:

"What ability and how much advance value?"

"It's called absolute offset. To be honest, this is one of my treasures. You can't afford it now."

Zhou Baiyu became more and more interested, and he was now considered one of the richer among the forerunners.

Compared with the God of Difference and Chaos, A at least has one advantage - you can know exactly what you will buy.

The more expensive the thing, the better. This can be clearly seen.

“What is absolute cancellation?”

"To put it simply, you can use a characteristic to offset another person's characteristic, a rule controlled by you, to offset a rule controlled by others."

At first glance, this ability seems to be very ordinary.

But Zhou Baiyu, who soon noticed something wrong, suddenly realized that this should be a very powerful ability, so powerful that it was unreasonable.

"This is one of the more ultimate items you can buy from me. Mastering the mysterious treasures may lead to your future recruitment, making it easier for powerful enemies to appear and special patterns to appear."

"Absolute offset may be able to help you deal with some unsolvable enemies. Of course, this ability also has shortcomings. The activation interval is calculated based on the total recruitment and recall, and it can only be activated once every three rounds."

"And... it can only be used against corrupt species and monsters in the advance world. But it's enough for you to open up the situation."

Zhou Baiyu is indeed very moved:

"You won't let me buy something I can't afford. Tell me, profiteer, what's your plan?"

"I will take away 60% of your advance value for the next five recruitments. Is this a deal? This is considered a bet."

Zhou Baiyu must admit that Dr. A is definitely an extremely important existence.

Otherwise, he would not be able to transfer such a powerful ability to himself.

He became more and more interested in A's past.

"make a deal."

"Wise decision. Maybe you and I will make different choices in the future. But at least now, we work together, and I will find a way to make you a leading pioneer."

Zhou Baiyu has a special ability in his skill bar - absolute offset.

After successfully obtaining a large number of advance points from Zhou Baiyu, Dr. A was very satisfied.

Zhou Baiyu was also about to go to Sister Lin's transfer station. Before the transfer, he asked a question:

"Demon king-level existences, whether they are monsters or corrupt species, how far are they from becoming gods?"

Dr. A shook his head:

"Not far away. You wouldn't think that the hundreds of new gods and the new gods that are constantly emerging are just one step away from becoming a god, right?"

"In the Night of Divine Inspiration, there are not so many powerful gods. This is why there are so many new gods, but they are still beaten by the old gods."

"The reason why many gods can become gods is not because they become stronger little by little and then touch the threshold of god."

"Be it monsters or corrupt species, many of them took shortcuts to become gods. Take me for example."

"Okay, you should go back."

Dr. A didn't want to answer too many questions about the gods, after all, he had been prostituted so many times by Zhou Baiyu.

Zhou Baiyu nodded, asked no more questions, and prepared to enter Sister Lin's transfer station.

He was actually looking forward to meeting Sister Lin.

Thinking about it, Wu Xin, Luo Hui, and Xin Kui suddenly appeared at this time, and the sound of going first should be very lively, right?
