Tower Defense Game: My Kingdom of Eternal Life

"No, why didn't the nightmare end?"

Cheng Shen realized later.

Although the horror of this nightmare has not yet reached the point of recovery, he has solved the source of the nightmare. However, the surrounding space structure is still very stable and has not collapsed like the Psalm Monastery.

Could it be...

Wasn't the Jingshen he killed the source of this nightmare?

Who could that be...

Cheng Shen suddenly discovered that within his range of perception, Dana was the only one left with emotional fluctuations, but now another one appeared out of thin air.

He turned his head and looked straight at Dana's abdomen.

cold,

evil.

A dark ball of light was gestating in her body. Cheng Shen confirmed that the fetus had already died when the previous nightmare occurred, or it was caused by the torture used by the villagers to force Dana to reveal the father of the child.

But at this time it came back to life under the influence of some factors.

"It turns out to be here."

Cheng Shen said softly.

He noticed that the demonic fetus was absorbing Dana's life force, but he did not stop it. Its power was weaker than that of a normal adult. Even if it was born, it would not pose a threat to him.

"I interfered with its growth..."

Cheng Shen was thoughtful.

According to the normal progression of this nightmare, the fetus will only wake up after being sacrificed to the Pure God by these ignorant villagers. Some other changes may occur during this process, causing it to accelerate its growth.

Eventually it becomes miserable.

But now.

It can only absorb the power of Dana alone.

Cheng Shen walked over and squatted in front of the unconscious Dana, stretched out a hand to touch her belly. The ferocious veins on the round belly were bulging, and a clear feeling passed through the flesh and blood to the bottom of Cheng Shen's heart.

"Father……"

There was a bit of kindness, joy and flattery in this voice.

Cheng Shen was unmoved.

He could see the true emotions in the heart of the demon fetus, the resentment and evil remained unchanged, mixed with deep fear.

It's afraid.

Because it has already noticed Cheng Shen's intention.

"You shouldn't have been born."

Cheng Shen said.

He was calmly declaring the facts rather than discussing with the demon fetus.

"...But this is not a gift from you!" A distorted blue-black grimace appeared on his belly. Realizing that the disguise was ineffective, the devil's malice was immediately revealed, and the bulging veins seemed to burst his belly.

"Well……"

Dana, who was in a coma, groaned with a look of pain on her face.

The demon fetus looked proud again, "Father, you can't stop my birth. My life is now connected with my mother!"

"Silly boy."

Cheng Shen looked caring for mentally retarded children. He pressed his palm gently, and the stretched meridians immediately withered, and even Dana's belly became as dry as if the flesh and blood had been drained.

"No, you can't..."

The demon fetus felt that the power in its body was being continuously withdrawn, and it screamed in terror and begged, but Cheng Shen was not Nancy or its father at all, so how could he care about the life and death of the two nightmare mirror images?

but.

At least he fulfilled his promise.

Dana fell asleep with a calm expression and no longer suffered any pain.

Boom...!

The cave shook violently. Deep in the cave, the sound of water flow became louder and louder, and a black billowing tide surged forward.

Submerged everything.

Cheng Shen drained the last trace of emotional power from the demon womb before the tide came in. Unfortunately, it was full of resentment and could not serve as nutrients for the flower of despair. The villagers killed by it should have been more desperate.

“Hopefully have more action time next time I come in.”

Cheng Shen murmured.

[Anchor point binding progress: 100%!]

…

At the last moment he took out the rusty copper key.

Card.

The key shattered, and a bright white light occupied his field of vision.

When the scene before my eyes becomes clear again.

He had appeared in a luxuriously decorated bedroom.

The dark gold and dark purple decoration style made him quickly recognize that this was a room in Storm Castle.

There is no one around.

Cheng Shen immediately opened the system interface after reacting.

"Just... in the past day, it seems that the time flow rate in the nightmare world is basically the same as that in reality."

He thought to himself.

fine.

This change did not prevent him from missing the second camp battle.

However, having said that, Cheng Shen originally planned to explore this map fragment before the third camp battle.

Unexpectedly.

It's now a full week ahead of schedule.

This is undoubtedly good news. The more time he has, the better prepared he can be.

"What happened after that?...Who carried me here...Why did I even change my clothes!?"

Cheng Shen felt a chill all over his body, and his mind immediately ran through the subordinates he had recruited.

first,

Exclude Dameng.

But it’s impossible for Aljieka or Yosegra to do this for him...

He quickly gave up thinking.

After getting up and putting on the clothes that someone had prepared for him, Cheng Shen put away the clean Watcher suit that had been hung on the armor stand.

Open the backpack.

He brought out everything from the nightmare.

Although that space only restricts souls from entering, it seems to be unable to affect the system. It may also be that the level of the nightmare he fell into is not deep enough.

certainly.

Based on Cheng Shen's current understanding, it is not surprising to see this situation.

The soul and the body are just two different forms of energy.

But essentially it is still energy.

The so-called restrictive shackles are just because his control over energy is not complete enough. If he can reduce both energies to their original essence, then the soul and body will be integrated into one, and no difference can be distinguished.

"The harvest from this nightmare trip is still very great..."

Cheng Shen thought.

In addition to collecting the last fragment of the broken sword, I also gained four extraordinary-level holy relics, three pieces of soul blood lotus and other precious treasures.

The biggest benefit.

It is the transformation of his own soul realm.

It was impossible to view it in the nightmare, but now back in reality, the system panel immediately clearly listed all his attribute changes.

The most intuitive data.

Mental strength.

This attribute is originally determined by his spiritual energy, which is the upper limit of his mana. With the Blue Whale Meditation method gaining him every moment, his mental strength has already far exceeded that of professionals of the same level.

But at this time, there is an additional bonus after his mental strength attribute: (325%)!

This bonus was not directly converted into a numerical value that tripled his upper limit of mana, but Cheng Shen could feel that his control of mental power had changed significantly.

In the past, it cost him one hundred mana points to release a one-ring magic.

Now only one third is enough.

And based on the original power.

Increased rather than decreased.

This special bonus did not expand his attributes, but produced another high degree of qualitative change.

Secondly, the four newly unlocked abilities also appear in his talent column.

perceived desire,

Manipulate emotions,

Drowned ghost skin,

The desperate situation of reincarnation.

Drowning Ghost Skin is an ability he gained after swallowing the brain of the Pure God. The effect is to passively increase soul resistance.

Cheng Shen had been trying to transform soul impact into a soul defense skill before, but this time it was no longer necessary.

Drowned Ghost Skin increases resistance by a percentage based on his own soul strength.

It can be said that at this stage, unless someone's growth experience is as perverted as his, almost no one can break his soul defense.

And this advantage.

It will remain so until he is promoted to a transcendent realm.

The desperate situation of reincarnation is the power given to him after the first stage of the Flower of Despair matures.

This ability...

He's still trying to figure it out.

"Lord, you are awake!"

A strange-looking woman walked into the house carrying a basin.

Cheng Shen glanced at her name and was not impressed, but he immediately realized that this was probably the servant assigned to him by someone else.

"Did you help me change my clothes?"

he asked.

The face of the girl with a few freckles suddenly turned red, and she nodded shyly, "Yes, Lord..."

"No wonder."

Cheng Shen didn't think too much.

He simply washed up, opened the territory panel to check the results of the war, and also searched for Aljieka's location.

in the message.

He saw a bunch of system prompts that had been sent before.

【Exploration successful!】

[Tip: You have successfully collected one-seventh of the puzzle pieces of the Dark Forest! Obtain a special resource reward—Blood Jade Vein (Level 1)! 】

[Hint: You killed a devil!]

[Obtain: 200 lord reputation!]

[Obtain: Hell Reputation 100!]

[Obtain: God Clan Reputation 100!]

【get:……】

[Obtained: The Abandoner (Title)! 】

[Obtain: Boundary Treasure Box 1!]

[Tip: The contract you signed with the devil has been terminated!]

…

The most outrageous prompt I saw in the system message mileage was a long list of reputation increases.

He just killed a devil.

A cursory look.

It has increased the reputation value among at least thirty races!

Among them, there are seven races such as gods and demons that control the supreme bloodline!

Although Cheng Shen had never heard of other races, he could tell just by looking at their names that they were not much weaker.

After all, they are the race that can survive even after being targeted by the devil!

"It is no exaggeration to say that the devil is notorious around the world..."

Cheng Shen couldn't help but sigh.

These increases in reputation are undoubtedly quite beneficial to him.

Even if there is only a small reward, it is an epic breakthrough from scratch. This means that when he meets people of these races, he will not be treated as strangers or even enemies for the first time, but as one of his own.

Especially there are seven supreme races among them...!

Cheng Shen continued to look.

The system also gave him two additional rewards for killing the devil, the first title: The Promise Breaker.

This is a special title with added abilities.

The effect is: it allows him to ignore the constraints of a specified contract every natural month.

Including Devil's Pact.

The ability of this title is simply too strong.

Moreover, this title does not need to be worn all the time, as long as it is temporarily worn when using it.

No one will find out...

Although the title of "Abandoner" sounds unfriendly, the actual effect is unexpectedly powerful! Cheng Shen did not feel the ridicule from the system, after all, this was his reward for defeating the devil!

【Breakthrough Treasure Box】

【treasure】

[Level: Extraordinary]

[Note: After use, you can randomly obtain a treasure containing rich extraordinary factors]

…

The weight of the second reward is also quite important.

Extraordinary factors are the star gold in the energy world. They are not only necessary to break through the extraordinary realm, but can also be used for various purposes. Cheng Shen had previously obtained a small amount of extraordinary factors and raised the holy pool to a perfect three-star level.

And this box can permanently unlock a treasure with a rich content!

How rich can it be?

Cheng Shen weighed it for a moment, but did not open it immediately.

He has not yet decided what to do with the large amount of extraordinary factors he has obtained. If he gives out an item that is difficult to preserve, he will undoubtedly suffer a loss of blood.

Keep it first.

But he should be able to use it soon.

The four extraordinary-level holy relics he brought back this time are treasures that are stable in form and can store extraordinary factors for a long time.

There might be an energy gap when he uses it to refine items.

"Blood jade veins..."

Cheng Shen looked at the most valuable reward given by the system.

This is a mine!

Opening the territory panel, Cheng Shen suddenly discovered that the mineral vein resource points rewarded by the system were located at the original location of the deserted village.

That place had already collapsed into a big pit due to the ground trap technique he used to strengthen it with the formation.

His idea at that time was to capture it regardless of losses.

Looking at it now.

Extremely wise.

Cheng Shen absorbed the memories of Murdoch and Evil in his nightmare, and knew that there was nothing of value in that deserted village. Even the flesh and blood that could be used to make fertilizer came with all kinds of pollution.

Burning it is the best solution.

original.

The most precious thing about the exploration point in the deserted village is that there is a nightmare entrance there.

But this can only be unlocked if you surrender or cooperate with Murdoch.

The former is probably more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack, and the latter is even more difficult for Cheng Shen to safely cooperate with a devil.

So he killed Murdoch.

But something went wrong.

He also received a key from Yunus that could open the nightmare plane.

Overall, there is still no loss.

As for the mineral vein, at least Cheng Shen confirmed it in Murdoch's memory, there is absolutely no such thing.

This should be a reward given out of thin air by the system.

specific situation.

Cheng Shen had to take a look for himself.

It is a pity that neither Murdoch nor Evil retained the memory of that transcendent being after being born in his body.

otherwise.

Cheng Shen will be able to know what exactly happened in that city back then.

Although he transformed his soul into a devil, fused with nightmares, and gained immortality on another level, whether the newly born Murdoch is still him or not depends on his personal understanding.

"The Indestructible King of the Great Village"

"You were dragged into the nightmare space?" Aljieka looked slightly sideways after hearing the news.

Then nodded.

"It is one of the few deep spaces with stable rules, and it is also a good place to enhance your soul."

She was "reading" a book in the library of Storm Castle and gave a brief introduction to it.

Cheng Shen glanced at the book cover.

"The Last Lord of the Bronze Age".

Next to her were some, "How to Manage Territory", "Tips for Winning People's Hearts", "The Art of Dominance"...

etc.

...Did she think she wouldn't wake up?
