My skills have mutated again!

Chapter 335 The Essence of Deception, the Anti-Pollution Plan!

In No. 28's eyes, Xia Lin's ability to act was commendable, so it felt that this time, it still didn't need to wait long.

However, this time, number 28 was wrong...

Since there's no more wool to be plucked, Xia Lin will have to let it cool down for a while.

Why?

Time to digest the spoils I reaped earlier...

The Xia family home, in the garden.

The two brothers reunited.

Xia Lin was reassured when Xia Tian mentioned the situation of the Eight Guardians' Inner World.

"Before I died, I made arrangements in this world so that within a few decades, the people of the inner world who deceive and betray me will not be able to appear in the Eight Guardian Worlds."

Xia Lin said it wouldn't take decades.

His main quest deadline is just over fourteen years away.

Thinking of this, Xia Lin looked at Xia Tian.

By activating observation based on real attributes, Xia Lin's state of being clearly and accurately came into view.

The third-grade Golden Body Realm has been achieved.

Meanwhile, the inner world core produced by Di Yun was spinning endlessly in Xia Tian's ancestral aperture between his eyebrows, gradually merging with Xia Tian.

Xia Tian had previously stated that as long as he achieved the first rank, he could quickly return to the super rank using the resources from his former corpse.

And this is the prerequisite for launching a counterattack against fraud!
Xia Lin had previously said that they were preparing to start harvesting.

But to say he's confident is clearly just bragging.

The Deception God is ultimately only at level eleven. Right now, Xia Lin and Xia Tian are facing Deception, and not only are they unable to reap the rewards, they are also at a significant disadvantage.

"How long until we reach the first rank?"

When Xia Lin asked this question, Xia Tian gave a clear answer: "It will take at least three years, and at most five years."

After regaining his memories, Xia Tian's martial arts experience will be no less than Xia Lin's.

Therefore, his deduction is unlikely to be wrong.

Xia Lin nodded slightly.

"There is still plenty of time, and I can do more preparation."

……

At this moment, Xia Lin no longer needs to teach Xia Xia martial arts.

This freed Xia Lin.

However, being trapped in the Eight Guardian Ashes Zone, and having to face the deceitful evil god as soon as she goes out, it seems that Xia Lin has nothing to do if she doesn't teach Xia Tian. But in reality, Xia Lin is extremely busy.

A dual-panel setup means double the workload.

First, let's talk about temporary status.

Because the identity substitution card (high) will convert the strength gained from training in the Ashes area into actual benefits at a high rate during settlement, Xia Lin has every reason to continue practicing martial arts as a native of the story and improve the data on the temporary panel.

The method was simple; Xia Lin didn't resort to any underhanded tactics—it was simply about consuming resources and cultivating the Hundred Losses Demonic Art.

The resources obtained from the fraudsters are sufficient, even enough for Xia Lin and Xia Tian to use together.

Xia Lin only needs to acquire one first-grade resource—a boundary core produced by Di Yun; all other resources belong to Xia Lin.

After the assessment, Xia Lin had a rough estimate.

"First-grade is enough, but it's not enough to reach the super grade."

It's far from enough.

The highest level is level eleven, which involves not only resources, but also luck and other factors.

But Xia Lin felt that the first-grade attribute was enough.

But more importantly, it's Xia Lin's own true strength.

This is his foundation for survival and the capital he has to confront the deceitful evil god!

Open the True Attribute Panel and look at your Limit Break Skill.

Dominator of the East Wind, Five-Wheel Devouring World Demon Art, Backstab, Life-or-Death Battle (Inferior), Faith Sublimation.

He has more Limit Break skills than most Limit Breakers... Well, having more skill slots is awesome.

However, not all five limit-breaking techniques are effective.

"First, let's rule out the Five Wheels Devouring World Demon Art... This thing has a limit-breaking effect, but I've already tested it, and the limit-breaking effect is useless to me."

Without martial arts skills, blood and qi, and without martial arts realm, this skill is not considered a limit-breaking skill on Xia Lin. He should just be a proper accessory to the Black Source Overlord form.

However, when used for temporary identities, it is not as fast as the Hundred Losses Demon Art – Xia Lin only has one requirement for temporary attribute panels: the faster the better.

"And the current situation does not support my use of East Wind Domination and Backstab."

The Eight Guardians World is currently Xia Lin's main base.

He must be out of his mind to engage in Dongfeng bombing and backstabbing on his own turf.

As for the skill "Death Battle (Inferior)," it cannot exploit bugs to use suicide or friendly attacks to boost one's stats.

After much thought, the only thing that could be used was the sublimation of faith.

Thinking of the sublimation of faith, Xia Lin couldn't help but think of the Black Source Overlord form and the pleasant time in the late stage of the Outer God Immortal Hero Legend.

An idea arose in Xia Lin's mind.

He contacted Xia Tian again.

……

"So you mean you're planning to use this thing on my corpse, right?"

Xia Tian asked the question in surprise, then looked down at the little trash can figure that Xia Lin had placed in front of him.

"First, sob sob sob..."

The county magistrate was about to launch a campaign of spiritual pollution, but Xia Lin simply shut him up.

He nodded somewhat awkwardly to Xia Tian: "That's generally right, but what you said isn't comprehensive enough."

"I don't intend to use this thing to completely contaminate your corpse. After all, you still need the resources in the corpse to help you return to Super Grade."

"I'm thinking about those inner worlds that were deceived by deception and betrayed you... Are those inner worlds still of any use to you?"

At this point, Xia Lin's meaning was clear.

He just wants to reenact a scene from the Legend of the Immortals!
—To pollute the entire world with the end of this realm, thereby increasing the combat power of the Dark Source Dominator, and to finally reap the harvest through backstabbing and the sublimation of faith!
The current Eight Guardian Ash District also has the conditions to repeat this plan.

At least there is plenty of time.

The problem is that this plan conflicts with the goals for summer.

After achieving the first rank in the summer, Xia Tian needs to use the resources from Di Yun's corpse as nourishment to quickly return to the super rank—but the power of the End of This World is well-known, and Xia Tian definitely cannot use the resources contaminated by the End of This World…

Therefore, Xia Lin's idea became to only pollute resources that cannot be used in summer, and retain resources that are useful in summer.

The purpose of coming here is to discuss with Xia Tian which aspects he can use and which aspects he can discard.

Xia Tian was silent for a moment, then looked up at the county magistrate.

He spoke, but what he said surprised Xia Lin.

"I suddenly feel that we should overturn our original plan."

Xia Lin: "Huh!? Why is that?"

But then he saw Xia Tian reach out and gently hug the county magistrate.

Xia Tian sighed softly as he stroked the county magistrate's pointed head.

“I don’t think I’ve mentioned to you my battles with fraud.”

After a brief silence, Xia Lin nodded: "I didn't ask, afraid of reopening your wounds."

Summer smiled and then spoke again.

"The outside world is unaware of the nature and form of the fraudulent entity, but I am aware of it."

The fact that Tokaido had no information about the true nature of fraud shows just how deeply the true nature of fraud is hidden.

However, Di Yun was in the know.

……

In the garden, Summer spoke softly, reminiscing about the past.

"The reason I've ended up in this predicament is because I found traces of the fraudster."

"And because of some things from a much earlier past, I vow to kill fraud."

Clearly, Di Yun was also one of the victims of the calamity of the evil god.

Hatred guided him to become stronger, and when he reached level eleven, it led him to find the Deceitful God and stand before him.

At this point, Xia Tian closed his eyes slightly, as if recalling something. Soon, he turned to look at Xia Lin and spoke.

"In the desolate depths of space, I witnessed the very essence of deception..."

"It was a deep, dark sea."

"But its essence is actually very simple, do you know what it is?"

Xia Lin shook his head, and then Xia Tian said softly, "They are a group of extraordinary nanobots."

...The evil god originated from one of the six pillars: the primordial dark side.

They were born from the contamination of the Primordial Dark Surface, and because the Primordial Dark Surface itself had problems, these six-column derivatives had even bigger and more problems!

Some evil gods are human beings, some are objects, and some are even a twisted and abstract rule.

Overall, the evil gods are incredibly diverse, highlighting a remarkable species diversity.

But the absolute truth is: evil gods have no wisdom.

When Xia Tian revealed that the true nature of the fraud was a group of extraordinary nanobots, Xia Lin immediately understood.

"It still cannot escape the self-limitation of an evil god... It does not have wisdom, but it has shown a certain degree of intelligence."

Because essentially, it is a supercomputer!

Xia Tian nodded slightly: "That's right."

"How this thing was corrupted by the primordial dark side, how it became what it is now, and how it was branded as fraud... I don't know these things, but its essence is certain."

"It is a machine."

At this point, Xia Tian emphasized again: "It is also a metal creation!"

Xia Lin thought of the manifestation of those evil gods' power—black, snowflake-like spots.

These so-called evil god powers are actually nanomachines, which are also part of the fraud!

Xia Lin didn't know whether this thing was a metallic substance or not.

At this moment, Xia Tian clearly gave the answer: it is metallic substances.

After all, that's the cause of his death. If he didn't understand, who would?

Immediately after Xia Tian finished speaking, Xia Lin realized why Xia Tian wanted to overturn the original plan.

First of all, Xia Lin possesses the Book of the Spirit Realm, which allows him to disregard the high-ranking judgments of evil gods!

Secondly, the Black Source, the End of This World, seems to have subtly formed a restraining relationship with fraud!

While fiddling with the county magistrate, Xia Tian added, "I think you might as well carry out your plan more thoroughly."

"You, the county magistrate, have defiled my entire body!"

"I don't want the resources inside the corpse. Without these resources, I certainly can't become a Super Grade, but that's not important."

"If we could use the combination of the Spirit Book and the county magistrate to distort the form of fraud, transforming it from a machine into flesh and blood... what do you think would happen to fraud?"

At this point, a rare hint of coldness appeared on Xia Tian's face.

Xia Lin also gasped.

Silicon-based life is transforming into carbon-based life...

Xia Lin couldn't guess what would happen, but it was certainly something to look forward to.

"But if you do that, you'll have to make a huge sacrifice."

Xia Lin had a good impression of Xia Tian, ​​and said this at this moment, but Xia Tian shook his head: "It's not important."

"It's just that the speed of achieving the Super Grade is a bit slow... As long as I can escape this cage, I will be able to regain my former power sooner or later."

"Furthermore, if this method proves effective, it could even alleviate the suffering of fraud for all people. For both moral and rational reasons, we should give it a try."

Xia Lin thought about it and realized that it made sense.

This doesn't even conflict with the main storyline/completion quests.

The main quest requires Xia Lin to resolve Di Yun's predicament.

Escaping the trap of deception by taking Di Yun's reincarnation (Xia Tian) is undoubtedly a way to complete the main quest.

A cold sensation suddenly appeared in Xia Lin's hand.

But Xia Tian had already handed the county magistrate into Xia Lin's arms.

He nodded emphatically to Xia Lin, indicating that his mind was made up, and Xia Lin no longer hesitated.

"Right here, right now."

"I will cooperate with you to defile my body as quickly as possible!"

……

The Eight Guardian World is essentially Di Yun's inner world.

Looking at the worldview of this Ash Zone, it is actually limited to Di Yun's corpse.

One superior-grade corpse, seventy-two inner worlds, that's all.

All of this once belonged only to Di Yun.

He is the master and ruler of all of this.

He is the Heavenly Dao and the One in this inner universe!

Even though Di Yun has been reincarnated, as Xia Tian regains his memories of his past life and resumes the path of martial arts, the higher his cultivation level, the deeper his connection with this inner universe becomes.

Xia Tian has now achieved the third rank of merit, and judging from his previous cooperation with Xia Lin, he has already established a certain connection with the corpse.

He can be likened to the severely wounded Heavenly Dao.

Right now, the severely injured Heavenly Dao is about to help Xia Lin corrupt himself...

The logic sounds strange, but that's exactly how it is, and it makes perfect sense.

"After all, if fraud wants to create my clones, it's as if it's also establishing a connection with my corpse."

Deception is also one of the natural laws of this inner universe.

By following this connection, once the end of this world takes effect, fraud will inevitably be unavoidable!

This is the core logic behind what the Xia brothers call the "anti-pollution plan"!

After an hour's wait, the county magistrate completed the preliminary preparations for the end of this world!
A dark light bloomed faintly, sweeping out a few meters before immediately merging into the air, becoming invisible and imperceptible.

Summer suddenly gave me a feeling of goosebumps.

The third-rank martial artist's sense of crisis told him that the black light that had just swept through seemed to contain the power to end everything.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Xia Lin handed her a black crystal ball.

"Antidote."

Xia Tian took the crystal ball and nodded slightly, then said again, "You may need to make more antidotes."

It's not just Xia Tian who needs it; Xia Huangwei, Li Pingjuan, and others need it too.

Xia Lin didn't intend to turn all the original owner's relatives and friends into puppets. With a wave of his hand, more crystals appeared out of thin air and covered the ground.

"These are all minor things. The key question is, how do you feel?"

He asked this question, and Xia Tian carefully considered it before quickly shaking his head.

"Aside from the black light just sweeping across me, I didn't feel anything special."

As he spoke, he looked at the county magistrate, who had turned into a metal cylinder, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Such excellent concealment."

Xia Lin's voice rang out from the side.

"The strength of this world's end is beyond doubt, and its concealment is of paramount importance."

After all, the end of this world is essentially a form of pollution.

Pollution, in particular, has a strong need for concealment.

After speaking, Xia Lin looked at Xia Tian again and said with a smile, "And your biggest task is to strengthen this concealment again to ensure that no one is deceived and finds out before it is detonated."

This request seems a bit unreasonable.

However, given Xia Tian's identity, it is clearly feasible to carry out this plan.

He nodded slightly, then quickly sighed, "Third rank is not enough, at least second rank, first rank is best."

Xia Lin smiled and patted Xia Tian on the shoulder: "So, you have to work hard."

……

It wasn't until she lay in bed that night that Xia Lin finally realized what had happened.

The county magistrate and the end of this world once again became the solution to break the deadlock.

Of course, Xia Lin didn't know what effect this move would have.

"My original idea was to use this method to boost faith and elevate my spiritual level... how did it become the way to break the deadlock?"

The situation is simply unpredictable.

But as long as the change is for the better, then there's no problem.

When the next day arrived, apart from the presence of a metal cylinder in the Xia family garden, everything seemed to have been normal.

The effects of this world's end need time to develop.

Therefore, after "planting" the county magistrate, Xia Lin turned his attention back to other matters.

The growth of martial arts.

The expansion of the Bomb Boys army.

And by using the Faith Points provided by the Bomb Boys Legion, the main body's attributes can be improved.

Time flies, and six months have passed.

Nothing happened during that time, but today is the day when Xia Lin and Xia Tian both break through to the second rank.
