Infinite people, start speedrunning

Chapter 292 The Bell Tolls [3k views, please vote]

A white sphere of light is quietly suspended at the top of the suspended pavilion.

It has a volume of about fifty cubic meters, and its light and color are exactly the same as the large sphere of light in the main god space. Except for being slightly smaller, there is almost no difference.

This is the "Emperor No. 1".

"Damn it! God!" Zheng Zha cursed as soon as he saw clearly, gripping his axe tightly.

Fang Ge scoffed: "Scared already? Don't worry, it's not comparable to the Supreme God at all."

The first God was only identified as the prototype of the main god in the first generation.

This setting was naturally discarded in the subsequent plot, so it was just a slightly stronger ruins guard.

In essence, it is also a kind of "divine body". Its true prototype is of course EVA Unit-01, an artificial life form created by cultivators and saints.

However, compared to the EVA Unit-01 obtained from the God of War, its starting point is much higher. It comes with infinite spiritual light and possesses the God of War's initial ability to control energy. Even after being defeated, its cells can multiply infinitely...

The upper limit is slightly lower than the latter, but Chu Xuan can make a major modification to solve this problem.

Despite its impressive appearance, it actually only possesses strength at less than the intermediate level of the fourth tier. For the Central Continent Team, whose attack breadth and depth are sufficient, it is not a concern at all.

The Central Continent Team's goal is not to defeat or destroy it... but to capture it intact!

"Speaking of which, using Buddha as a key... are we really opening the treasure trove of the Central Continent Team?" Cheng Xiao couldn't help but ask.

"Buddhism is not unique to India. And India is not the most pro-Buddhist continent... Hinduism has always been the most revered religion in India."

Chu Xuan casually explained, "The Central Continent deserves immense credit for elevating Buddhism to one of the world's three major religions. Moreover, the Central Continent has perfectly incorporated it into its native mythology system."

"Speaking of mythology... the information just now did mention mythological figures such as Fuxi and Hongjun."

As a poor writer, Zhan Lan had some understanding of these things, "but as long as it's Middle-earth mythology, it can't avoid the Heavenly Court..."

The Heavenly Court... or rather, the Primordial Heavenly Court, usually appears in the background.

He is also one of Fang Ge's biggest imagined enemies.

The current Heavenly Court is a Heavenly Court composed entirely of humans.

He only considered the ancient humans to be true humans, while humans from other planes and reincarnation worlds were all defined as "non-humans" by him.

On the one hand, these humans from outside the ancient continent possessed genes from all races, making them less pure... On the other hand, it was purely selfishness.

Therefore, the Primordial Heavenly Court's attitude towards the lower planes... has only one thing in common.

That is, a fire is burned into nutrients, feeding the infinitely diverse and unique super-magical plane—the Primordial Continent. Only those with exceptional talent like Luo Yinglong are granted the opportunity to serve them, and are qualified to be taken in as their dogs.

Those who reincarnate are seen as thorns in their side...

Although they haven't met yet, it's already a fight to the death.

At the same time, Fang Ge believes that with the current strength of the Zhongzhou team... it's not far from meeting them.

"The Heavenly Court can probably control many pantheons."

Chu Xuan responded, “The term ‘Heavenly Court’ is clearly a specialty of the Central Continent… Therefore, it is not surprising to find any cultural symbol in the treasure trove of sages in the Central Continent.”

The crowd's anticipation for the relics of the sage grew even stronger.

However, emptying everything out of here won't be easy.

First of all, there are a series of restrictions and rules within the Lingkong Suspended Pavilion.

Firstly, external flight methods will be banned, and one must rely on their own air-breathing methods to take off.

That's a minor matter. Most of the members of the Central Continent Team are non-orthodox cultivators, so even without using swords, they can fly without any problem.

Secondly, most spatial techniques are limited by the suspended pavilion, and even the inner world is no exception.

Thirdly, without defeating the First God, the Three Pure Ones will prevent anyone from accessing the [Legacy]. Forcing their way in will trigger the restriction, reducing everything within a radius of ten thousand miles to nothing. However, after defeating the First God, due to suspected tampering with the Suspended Pavilion, the self-destruction restriction will be activated, causing everything to collapse into the lava!

Fourth, the magma below is not ordinary magma... This is to be expected, otherwise it would be impossible to prevent the Central Continent Team from collecting treasures that would not be melted by the magma.

Even a slight touch of it would incinerate a fourth-tier expert. Ordinary spiritual treasure projections, and even acquired and innate spiritual treasures, would all crumble upon encountering this magma!
It is suspected to be a method used by the main god to prevent the Primordial Heavenly Court from using a backup plan to target the world of reincarnation.

From this, we can draw another conclusion... that the Lingkong Pavilion is not actually subordinate to the Gods and Demons Legend plane, but rather a world of its own. As a place for storing relics, it had the special function of [shielding heavenly secrets] before its destruction, so even the original owners of these spiritual treasures could not sense this place.

Therefore, the most important thing is to **prevent the Lingkong Pavilion from being destroyed**. Use these twenty days you've acquired to **completely digest** everything here!
—The platform is not within the scope of the Lingkong Xuange!

Fang Ge immediately shouted, "Form the formation!"

The array base in the inner world was completely stripped out, and thousands of S-grade energy crystals were filled in by Fang Ge all at once!
Chu Xuan's third eye suddenly opened, and he entered a state of maximum computational intensity. At the same time, he activated the three dormant formations—the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, the Primordial Beast Formation, and the Netherworld Blood Sea Formation—once again, unleashing their power.

Even someone like Chu Xuan has to give it his all.

If you look closely, you can see wisps of white smoke emanating from his head, indicating that he has undoubtedly entered a state of overload.

Li Yingkong immediately unleashed the Four Swords of Zhuxian. Four semi-transparent, ancient longswords suddenly flew up, expanding continuously until they suppressed the four directions of the Lingkong Pavilion, dominating the heavens and earth!
The four swords transformed into four banners, fully revealing their protective intent. They unified the other two major formations. This was not for killing, but simply for suppression and sealing—the most basic function of formations: isolating the inside from the outside.

Then, Zheng Zha leaped into the air, grabbing the platform where everyone was standing. He lifted the entire giant rock and threw it towards the suspended pavilion!

boom!
The giant rock crashed down near the suspended pavilion, and everyone jumped down, entering the area covered by the restriction.

At that moment, the sphere of light formed by the first god suddenly shrank inward, and all the light sources seemed to shrink into a small dot.

The surface of the sphere of light began to writhe incessantly, and as a whole, it looked like a giant egg was hatching, with the creature inside seemingly about to burst out!

Then, the top of the egg suddenly cracked open, followed by a tearing sound, and an enormous, strange hand emerged from the hole.

The hand tore the giant egg's shell in two with force.

A humanoid monster, over forty meters tall, appeared where the giant egg was. Its entire body was covered in a purple, metallic-looking shell, except for a single, extremely bright spot of light on its chest.

This is the true form of the First God, a biological combat weapon used by cultivators and saints back then, which is extremely similar to EVA.

However, its debut... was its final moment of glory!
"Refine the sword into silk!"

Li Yingkong channeled sword energy into the sword pellet, merging sword intent with the light of the mind. Combined with the Zhuxian Sword Formation, millions of sword energies as fine as hair were unleashed in an instant!
Each silver thread unleashed terrifying power! If it weren't for the restrictions imposed by the Lingkong Suspended Pavilion, it would probably have shattered the space into pieces!
The shield of spiritual light of the first god was as fragile as paper, shattering like glass!

"Great disaster for Jinri!"

At this moment, Zhao Yingkong activated her pupil technique.

The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception's target... is the consciousness of the first God.

As a divine body, it, like the EVA units exchanged from the main god, does not possess a true "divine soul".

Even the Light of the Mind is only released through a godlike object on its chest. Essentially, it is a rudimentary form of the Light of the Mind, similar to an AT field.

Currently, the first God has no spiritual light to defend against... so the outcome against the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception is obvious.

It could no longer make any movement and stood there blankly.

"Yoo-ho! We got it!" Logandao in the Unicorn Gundam was extremely excited.

This is practically free!

[Completed the side quest and obtained 1 C-rank side quest...]

Fang Ge received a notification that a reward had been distributed, and the entire ground began to tremble slowly... However, with three large formations supporting this sky, there wouldn't be any problems for the time being.

The real key is that the method of "concealing the secrets of heaven" cannot be dispelled.

Without the slightest hesitation, Fang Ge rushed into the attic like lightning.

Although the attic appears quaint and elegant from the outside, its interior is filled with a futuristic, almost sci-fi feel...

The entire pavilion is divided into three floors, and each floor is further divided into four main areas, namely the White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon, and Black Tortoise.

These four symbols are completely three-dimensional, like a 3D movie that transcends modern technology, with incredibly vivid forms.

Fang Ge knew that if anyone who entered this place was not of Asian descent, the Four Symbols would attack him. Each of them possessed the strength of a high-level fourth rank, which was quite formidable...

Within the Four Symbols image, the eight symbols of the Eight Trigrams rotate continuously.

Within those solidified luminous Bagua runes, palm-sized water crystals were arranged side by side.

Each crystal-clear piece of jade pendant is a jade slip containing precious cultivation materials. The pendant reflects the light of Bagua runes, as beautiful as something from a dream.

Even the ground was composed of runic images, within which flowed a liquid-like luminous energy, and the entire runic imagery formed a nine-square grid...

These can all be moved, but there's no rush.

Fang Ge didn't stop for a moment, skipping the first floor, even skipping the second floor where the Yin-Yang Furnishings were displayed... and headed straight for the third floor!

The third level was a chaotic mess. What met the eye were not things that might record information, but hundreds or even thousands of magical treasures lined up in a row!
Fang Ge's gaze, however, was only fixed on his own target.

The small bronze bell was placed on a separate high platform, where it trembled slightly, emitting concentric rings of spatial vibrations.

--very good……

Fang Ge's speed was incredibly fast; almost in the next instant, he touched the familiar yet unfamiliar [Innate Treasure].

The moment he held the small bell, the slight infusion of energy into his body rendered the time and space restrictions of the Suspended Pavilion ineffective against him.

A thousand S-grade energy crystals were generously thrown out to supply Xiao Zhong with his energy.

Fang Ge scolded:
"Certainly!"

"clang--"

Time and space are stagnant.
