Chapter 814 Lilith's Coming-of-Age Ceremony

Bedroom on the second floor of the villa.

In the dim light, Jiang He worked while holding the cat's tail, admiring the classical oil paintings on the surrounding walls, with a beautiful accompaniment playing in her ears.

From the demise of modern civilization in the old calendar to the fall of night, humanity, guided by the God of Order, continued to explore, recover technology, evade vampires, and research the extraordinary. Finally, with the birth of the first batch of S-class demigods and a famous large-scale vampire civil war, humanity once again gained a foothold on the earth and began the Dark Calendar.

Among them, the human demigods have gone through several generations, and twenty-two Tarot-level forbidden items have been extracted. Each of them is fatal to A-level beings. Once an ordinary person gains recognition from them, they immediately become a top combatant.

"The Lovers, the Devil, Temperance, the Moon, the Chariot, the Sun, the Stars, the Tower, the World—of the nine Tarot-level taboos I've heard of so far, I'm currently mastering three, and have already devoured one and a half."

Jiang He pondered to himself that the problem lay in the fact that the forbidden artifacts left behind by the death of a demigod were ultimately only a portion of the power. The Tarot level could not exert pressure on the demigod, and its upper limit was severely lacking.

"There are ways to make up for it."

"I myself am a forbidden object. The lover and the chosen one symbolize the union of the will of heaven. The demon and the chariot combine with the earthly evil collected by the Alchemy Matrix of the God's End of the World. Finally, I complete the union of the two earthly evils of the day and can directly advance to demigod."

Jiang He shook his head inwardly. He still thought to himself that he was no longer suffering from the sin of gluttony. The Divine World Doomsday Matrix could no longer devour everything as it used to, and its collection efficiency had only accumulated a little so far.

Meanwhile, "Blood Nerve of the Demon" is also showing signs of weakness. The problem is not with it, but with the creatures of the Night World lacking the characteristics of the times and insufficient nourishment from their blood essence.

“In the past, the absorption efficiency was low, and now the nutrition is insufficient. If there had been a dozen or so players responsible for researching the cultivation system in the early stages of the descent, the direction of my self-created cultivation method would probably not have been so hasty.”

"In terms of exploration efficiency, start-up speed, organizational structure, experience accumulation, and fault tolerance, the lone wolf is obviously at a disadvantage. The projection mode of the world battle was very successful in terms of results. The other three battlefields also put a lot of effort into it."

Jiang He's thoughts came to an abrupt halt because Luo Yeli suddenly reverted to her Little Luo state, and a strong sense of oppression seemed to come from all directions into the large bedroom.

"Let's take a break." Jiang He rarely spoke up while working.

Luo Yeli ignored him, and her actions instead showed a willingness to die together; she had to make the other party surrender today.

"Then don't blame me."

Jiang He stopped playing with her.

A flash of lightning caused Luo Yeli to freeze in the fight. Then, the power of steel made her body incredibly strong. Jiang He delivered a vicious blow that felt like it was piercing her heart and lungs, and the girl was utterly defeated.

Two moves were all it took to decide the winner.

The moment Jiang He stood up, Luo Yeli, who should have been unconscious, opened her eyes. There was no trace of the girl's previous dazedness, only a gentle and tender smile.

"Good morning."

Luo Yeli's smile is captivating.

Jiang He felt bored and said indifferently, "I even suspect that Luo Yeli is dead."

"How could you have such a thought?"

Lilith found it somewhat amusing. She stood up and spun around, her long blonde hair extending outwards, revealing herself to be Eleanor. She spun around again, and the alcoholic girl, Yumizuki, from the Eternal Dark World reappeared.

"God has more than one face."

“Every side of me is a different profile.”

Jiang He rubbed her forehead. "What are you doing waking up now?"

Lilith gently embraced Jiang He and smiled, "Of course I'm here to lend you a hand. We are each other's half-bodies, so it's only natural that we merge again. This projection body is yours. Consider it your nineteenth birthday coming-of-age ceremony and prepare to advance to Rank A."

From soul to bone, "Luo Yeli" gave everything, even the part sacrificed by Luo Yueju. Lilith returned to the cross in the spiritual world to slumber. She clearly hadn't resolved her own problems; she was merely "stealing a moment of leisure from her busy schedule."

At this moment, unprecedented efficiency and nutrition emerge.

Jiang He was radiant with golden light, his divine radiance emanating from him. Every inch of his bones was being reshaped and transformed, and the seven-colored patterns were spreading into a deeper level of his essence, until they covered his soul.

Before the evolution was completely over, Jiang He quickly extracted the genes of the forbidden item, the chariot, so as not to miss the last spot in the B-level stage.

An extremely powerful aura erupted between the villas.

As Jiang He clenched his fist, he felt an immediate sense of control over this transformative improvement. He was now comparable to an S-class demigod, and since his peak was still far superior to his current state, this judgment was accurate. At the same time, the efficiency of the Divine World Doomsday Matrix also underwent a qualitative change.

"The highest level of combat power in the world of darkness."

[Joint Notice: Due to the currently low success rate of hunting by marked players, the relevant rules have been changed. Players from Origin, End, All Beings, and Twilight will now receive their own base buildings.]
[When players are inside their own base, their energy recovery, stamina and spirit recovery, and self-healing abilities are increased by 300%. Base buildings have high sturdiness and durability. Within 24 hours, the faction whose base is not destroyed advances to the next phase.]
[With the destruction of the main base, 95% of the "projections" of players from the relevant faction will be randomly executed (the death of the projection is absolutely synchronized with the death of the player's real body/excluding the Origin Ultimate Weapon)]
[Joint Reminder: Due to the severity of the punishment, Twilight Battlefield has submitted an appeal to the Pillar of Eternal Marrow...]
[Pillar of Eternity Notification: Twilight's appeal is invalid; the second resolution upholds the original rules...]
[The locations of all players' base camps are now revealed...]
Final Battlefield: 750 people.

Battlefield of All Beings: 420 people. Battlefield at Dusk: 636 people.

Originating from the battlefield: 69 people.

……

Taiko Financial Building.

Dozens of Origins players gathered together.

Chu Tianming, as the Minister of Finance, sat at the head of the table. Ye Shenbulu, who was now the financial advisor and responsible for connecting the players, sat at the lower right. Lao Hei, with a serious expression, sat upright, representing the will of the Commander-in-Chief of the Garrison Army.

"Just as the intelligence that Night Deer stole on the Dusk Battlefield suggests, in the World War, once the Mark Hunting System fails to function and is blocked by the strong, or if the Marker has amazing hidden abilities, the next step will be either a Death Duel Arena or a Base Camp Attack and Defense Mode. It seems to be the latter at the moment."

The group looked around the Finance Building where they were.

The building's surface glowed faintly, its sturdiness reaching the pinnacle of combat power in this world—a level that even a demigod couldn't destroy in a single blow. However, the problem was that the base camp had durability, meaning even D-level or E-level Source Power users could inflict effective wear and tear.

“We must cooperate,” Chu Tianming said in a tone that sounded like a formal announcement.

Ye Bulu explained, "According to my private intelligence channels and with Mr. Wu's help, the Twilight Battlefield's headquarters is at the Nanyang Military Base, the All Beings Battlefield's headquarters is at the Tiger Badge District University City, and the End Battlefield is the most troublesome, so there's basically no point in relying on it. It's located at the headquarters of the Blood Clan's Night Council, where a super A-grade behemoth that can move."

"The best outcome is that we defeat Twilight and all living beings and compete with the End for ownership of the core of the world."

The words have not yet fallen.

Beside Lao Hei, Wu He's expression shifted slightly.

Just now, a supreme order bypassed him and was issued to all the evil demon soldiers. In the entire evil demon legion, only one person possesses such authority. As the creator, Jiang He has absolute control over alchemical creations.

Wuhe looked around carefully and said, "Gentlemen, we only need to deal with the Twilight Battlefield. Our main responsibility is to defend this building. The rest can be left to my boss."

Ye Bulu's heart skipped a beat.

Chu Tianming shared the same sentiment.

There are only two main reasons for the termination of the marked hunting system. Judging from the performance of the Dijiang faction, the result is likely that Dijiang's combat strength gradient has made significant progress.

"He wouldn't...become a demigod, would he?" A player's expression changed. Di Jiang had already killed multiple A-ranks before.

……

Night falls over the Tiger Stamp District.

Above the university town, Jiang He stood suspended in mid-air.

He was surrounded by golden light, and the patterns on his body resembled a set of close-fitting, light armor. The general's uniform of the "only three" generals in Anxi Fortress City was entirely black, and the general's overcoat fluttered in the wind.

"Dijiang, you need to give me an explanation for mobilizing 200,000 garrison troops within the fortress." Prime Minister Yizhang's somewhat agitated voice came through the communicator.

"explain?"

Jiang He calmly asked, "You're a demigod too?"

Prime Minister Yizhang: "..."

What are you talking about?

Prime Minister Yi Zhang said with a headache, "I can't suppress this matter. All three major clans have entered a state of alert."

"Afterwards, have several demigods come to me personally to question me. As for now, Taiko, we can just wait for the results."

Communication channels fell silent.

Prime Minister Yi Zhang said with difficulty, "The forbidden item that destroyed the Yuan family, would you like to come and collect it first? No matter what conflicts there are, they are not unnecessarily negotiable."

Jiang He said, "No need. I'll get whatever I need myself in the future."

At 11 p.m., Huzhang and the four surrounding districts entered a state of martial law. The fortress garrison took full control of all systems, and thirty-six artillery regiments advanced rapidly, with armored personnel carriers surrounding Huzhang University City.
