Thanks for the invitation, I just entered the chat group after traveling through Under One Person.

Chapter 177 Ticket

Su Yun glanced at the so-called gods of Fusang; most of them had been dealt with by transmigrators like Chen Huanling. Even the nasty giant worm in the sanctuary had been burned to ashes by Qi Luo's Samadhi True Fire. He hadn't purified it to absorb as soul power, mainly because it was too disgusting; burning it all was better.

There are only some clean-up tasks left to handle, which Su Yun doesn't need to worry about. The cost of dealing with these gods and demons isn't high; it'll just leave the land of Fusang scarred. At most, the Fusang people will suffer, and Zhang Zhiwei will likely bear the brunt of the blame.

After all, among those who took action in Japan, Zhang Zhiwei was the only one recognized by the other forces in this world. The others who did it were all transmigrators from parallel worlds, and there was nothing they could do about it.

Su Yun simply shut down the live stream here. The live stream perspective of the Adventure World has now been split into two: one is from Cheng Yiyi's side, and the other is from Morty's side.

Glancing at Rick and Morty's feed, it was clear they weren't looking for Shendu or Daolong. In Rick's words, it was unnecessary; once they secured their positions, Shendu and Daolong would naturally be eliminated.

Just like Jade, who became the Shadow Queen in the story, Jade was the primary target of the dark energy at that time. Here, we must mention Rick's research findings; his previous research on methods to recruit people into groups was completed through the study of luck.

Meanwhile, in the process of studying personal fortune, there are naturally other related research topics. Rick simply selected a portion of them and invented the fortune detection instrument. Hmm... it's roughly equivalent to the Fortune-Observing Immortal Gu that Fang Yuan will obtain in the future.

Rick had observed the fortunes of everyone in this world, and Jade was the most unique among them. She was both a safety net for the righteous faction and a key target for the dark faction.

Of the three members of the purely righteous faction, only Xiaoyu truly turned to the dark side. Chen Long's split into good and evil due to the Tiger Talisman doesn't count as turning to the dark side. There was another instance where it was due to the Holy Lord's possession, with the Holy Lord being the one in control.

Do you really think Jade's transformation into the Dark Queen was simply about getting a Tara tattoo on herself? That thing was even drawn with a pen. To become the Shadow Queen, the source of the dark energy was definitely focused on Jade at that time.

Both the Holy Lord and Tara could control the Shadow Legion, but the moment Jade became the Shadow Queen, control completely shifted to Jade. Keep in mind that Tara was a general in the Shadow Legion; this wouldn't be possible without the special favor of the Dark Source. Therefore, while Tara was a general, Jade's title of Shadow Queen was truly deserved.

The ninjas of the Shadow Legion, who were originally considered mediocre among the nine Shadow Legions, became more than twice as strong under Xiaoyu's command compared to those driven by the Holy Lord. They must have been amplified by the dark energy.

It is clear that to take the lead in the dark faction, it is not necessary to eliminate or subdue the Holy Lord and Daolong first; they can just do their own thing.

"Motty, let's go." Rick ignored the strange looks from passersby, reached into his white coat, pulled out a teleportation gun, opened a portal in front of him, and led Morty inside. The portal disappeared, eliciting gasps of surprise from the passersby.

Shortly after Rick and Morty left, people from District 13 arrived to deal with the mess.

In an ancient castle in Australia, a portal formed of green energy appeared inside. Two figures emerged from the portal: Rick and Morty.

This ancient castle is where the complete magic manual compiled by the Holy Lord when he was still a black-qi mage and the ruler of Asia was placed. Originally, this magic manual, along with the items here, was supposed to be taken back by the archaeologist Chen Long during the Demon Chapter.

Australia is a special place, not because of the castle containing the encyclopedia of magic, but because it may be the embodiment of the world's origin and an ancient history book.

The hell created by the immortal gods to imprison demons is not only a cage, but also a place that erodes the demons' magic power, memories, and intelligence. Even without the power of talismans, the original Holy Lord was a great black magic mage, but because he stayed in hell for so long, he forgot most of his spells.

That is to say, he deliberately created a complete magic encyclopedia; otherwise, who knows how many spells would have been lost. It's unclear what the Holy Lord's motivations were when compiling this magic encyclopedia; did he foresee his tragic end?

However, upon closer examination, it must be said that, without being weakened, the eight demons at their peak wielded the powers corresponding to the Eight Trigrams, each possessing destructive power at the fourth tier. This explains why Zhou Lan could be the leader; the other demons would need time to recover their strength, while Zhou Lan, having only recently been unsealed, could deflect the moon using gravity.

Hurricanes, oceans, lightning, earth, devouring—these abilities, when pushed to their limits, can completely destroy surface civilizations. While Zhou Lan's gravity and Basha's water control rank among the fastest destructive forces, Basha's destructive power is largely due to the vastness of Earth's oceans. However, the truly dominant destructive force is Zhou Lan's power. At its maximum level, Basha could easily flood a continent. Even weakened, flooding San Francisco would require considerable time to build up its power.

"Did you find it?" Rick casually strolled around the castle, while Morty searched for the magic encyclopedia in the vast library.

"Cough cough cough..." Morty rummaged through a pile of books for a long time. These books had been there for who knows how many years, and were covered in dust, making Morty cough. Fortunately, the smell of decaying books wasn't too unpleasant, otherwise it would have been even more unbearable.

"Found it." Morty finally found the magic encyclopedia with Tara's image on the cover among the pile of books. This magic encyclopedia itself still contained some magic, which was why it had been preserved intact despite the passage of time, although it was covered with a thick layer of dust.

Morty wasn't an archaeologist and showed no respect for these ancient books. Upon finding the Complete Book of Magic, he simply grabbed it and dusted it off. If Chen Long had seen this, even before Morty joined the Dark Forces, he would have been Chen Long's greatest enemy.

“Let’s try this tattoo and see if it works.” Rick said, grabbing Morty’s arm and applying the ink he had prepared beforehand to the design on the cover of the Encyclopedia of Magic, leaving a tattoo on Morty’s hand.

This tattoo will definitely work, but it's uncertain whether it will be as effective as Xiaoyu's. It mainly depends on whether the Black Qi Source will receive a boost.

Originally, neither the dark forces nor the righteous forces would have noticed Rick and Morty; they needed corresponding entry tickets. The tattoo pattern on the Encyclopedia of Magic served as the dark forces' entry ticket.

"So we're not considered members of the righteous faction yet? How can we get the righteous buff?" Cheng Yiyi and the others originally planned to collect some very useful magical items when they came to this world, but their father's words made Cheng Yiyi, Er Qiao, and the others stay behind for the time being and not set off immediately.

Rick Morty wasn't part of the initial plan; Cheng Yiyi and the others were primarily after the magical items. They weren't necessarily going to get the righteous energy buff.

But now Daddy says that if Rick Morty's side joins the Dark Side, then the potential of their Righteous Side will also increase, and if they fight against the Dark Side, there is a high probability that they will benefit from the Righteous Side's buff.

"Oh dear, your father is also researching this issue." The old man shook his head and sighed.

The two Qiaos, on the other hand, simply ignored such academic questions and said, "Why don't you ask..."

"The Magic Conch?" Cheng Yiyi blurted out instinctively. Then she realized that Er Qiao didn't know what the Magic Conch was.

"What conch shell? I meant ask the experts in the chat group," Er Qiao said.

When Er Qiao speaks, everyone in the live stream can hear her, so there's no need to speak in the group chat. The group members wait for the experts in the group to give them some pointers.

Master of the Thousand Machines Pavilion (Fifth Tier, Jiang Mingzi): "It's very simple. The one who fights against the dark energy faction is the righteous energy faction, so naturally they will have the righteous energy buff."

Upon seeing the advice given by Jiang Mingzi, the expert on mechanisms, in the chat group, everyone nodded in agreement.

If Rick and Morty's use of dark energy was the entry ticket, then Cheng Yiyi's situation was even simpler: she just needed to oppose the dark energy faction. It wasn't too difficult. Rick's side was harder to deal with, since there were also the Holy Lord and the Blade Dragon as targets.
