Chapter 159 Initial Acquisition of the Origin

Upon hearing Dong Qi say this, everyone instantly understood the current situation.

However, because they knew the enemy's weaknesses, the people present were not as fearful as they had been when they first encountered those guys.

After all, those who, after escaping their cages, choose not to leave and instead remain in the secret realm, like Dong Qi, are certainly not lacking in courage.

It's like a term in a game: once the health bar is revealed, you can kill even a god.

Based on the information in my mind, I know that although the secret realm is similar to the dungeons in the game, it is actually not the same as the dungeons. The secret realm is completely controlled by the remnants of the otherworld.

They are actually not much different from the original will of the blue planet. Although they are just remnants and do not have much intelligence, when faced with a life-or-death crisis, whether it is called a last burst of energy or an outburst before death, they can still achieve their goals.

Ultimately, when faced with destruction, they will fight with all their might.

Dong Qi and his group's actions at this moment had indeed driven this newly formed secret realm to the brink of destruction.

Therefore, what was originally a series of rounds of skirmishes turned into a final battle to determine the victor.

If Lu Ziye and the others hadn't arrived in time, Dong Qi would have found it extremely difficult not only to destroy this secret realm, but even to escape it.

There wasn't much time for Dong Qi and his team to discuss tactics. As soon as the gate to the opposite passage closed, nearly a hundred figures in khaki hues rushed towards Dong Qi and his group.

At this point, no one held back their skills.

The first to act was still the ever-present vine. No one would have guessed that, perhaps due to the many battles along the way, the vine had absorbed a great deal of essence during the fights.

As the vines evolved, their appearance gradually changed.

Some of the short thorns on the vine began to grow longer, and many new buds sprouted on the vine.

Perhaps knowing the weaknesses of those tan figures, this time when the vines approached them, although they still lashed out at the enemies like whips, this time they directly targeted the enemies' abdomens.

Each swing of the enormous vines caused an area-of-effect attack on nearly ten enemies standing together.

The thorns that grow longer on one side of the vine pierce deep into the opponent's body as the vine strikes the opponent's abdomen.

Compared to short thorns that turn into seeds and continuously devour the flesh and blood of the opponent after entering their body, these long thorns explode the moment they leave the vine after entering the opponent's body.

Although the explosive force was not very strong, the internal explosions that ignored external defenses always dealt heavy damage to those tan figures.

Besides the vines, the other person, facing the charging of those earth-yellow figures, not only did not choose to avoid them, but instead charged towards them in the opposite direction.

As he charged, his right hand continued to grow larger. Before he even made contact with those earthen-yellow figures, his right arm, which had grown more than twenty times in size, was already larger than his own body.

With a sweep of his right arm, the tan figures that were about to approach him flew around like bowling pins.

It was at this moment that Dong Qi saw Lu Ziye make a move for the first time.

Dong Qi never expected that Lu Ziye would act like a gambling god, taking out two playing cards from his pocket. Looking at the metallic playing cards, Lu Ziye didn't say much, but just flicked his wrist, and the two playing cards flew swiftly towards the direction of those earthen-yellow figures like arrows.

As the two playing cards approached the awakened individual with the ability to grow larger, their flight paths took a strange, curved shape.

The two playing cards passed by the other person's body from the left and right, and as they flew, as the cards spun faster, air currents resembling wind blades appeared around them.

No one expected that just two seemingly unusual metal playing cards would turn into two rapidly spinning blades as they approached those tan figures.

As expected, the two playing cards rushed into the enemy camp and cut several tan-colored figures in half before returning to Lu Ziye's hand like boomerangs.

The other person standing next to Dong Qi looked at the battle in front of him and sighed with some frustration, "This battle is fought without any tactical coordination whatsoever."

As soon as the man finished speaking, someone immediately chimed in, "That's right, that's right. I didn't know that in the early stages of the battle, the first thing to do would be to bombard the enemy's main force with firepower."

Only then will close-quarters combat begin to eliminate the remaining enemy forces.

The fact that melee fighters are being brought in right at the start of the fight is limiting our effectiveness.

Real life isn't a video game; there's no teammate immunity to damage. If we want to make a move, we have to consider the safety of those two.

After overhearing the conversation between the other two team members who hadn't made a move, Dong Qi understood why they were staying put and not taking action.

However, the fact that those two didn't make a move doesn't mean that Dong Qi wouldn't.

With his exceptional physical abilities, Dong Qi can not only lift a heavy machine gun with one hand, but also use it as a sniper rifle at close range, relying on his control.

Because of the front-line blocking enemies and absorbing damage, Dong Qi could now specifically target the weaker enemies with low health.

Those earthen-yellow figures who were whipped away by the vines but not killed by the spikes, and those earthen-yellow figures who were struck down by the giant hand and were too badly injured to get up, were all killed by Dong Qi's bullets.

Although Dong Qi's behavior of stealing kills is somewhat unethical in the game, it is appropriate at this time, especially in a battle where the numbers are nearly a hundred to one.

Dong Qi's act of stealing kills and finishing off opponents did not provoke resentment from others; on the contrary, it gave others a sense of tacit cooperation.

The battle ended much faster than anyone had imagined.

And unlike in movies and TV dramas, where Dong Qi runs out of bullets in his heavy machine gun just as the battle is about to end, leading to a crisis, there was no unexpected turn of events.

In the battle just now, Dong Qi's bullets were not only used to steal kills and finish off enemies, but also to pick off and repel several tan-colored figures that were trying to sneak up on the front row of Awakened Ones.

That's why, when the Awakened One who was deeply involved in the battlefield noticed Dong Qi's help, he took a moment during a break in the battle to give Dong Qi a thumbs up.

As one after another, earthen-yellow figures died on the battlefield, spectators suddenly appeared in the stands.

Once the earthen-yellow corpses had all disappeared, a deep voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears from the prison: "Congratulations on completing the Trial of the Hero. After leaving the arena, you will receive the trial rewards."

Upon hearing this voice, everyone knew they could safely leave this horrible place, and joy appeared on their faces.

As everyone around him disappeared one by one, Dong Qi subconsciously turned his gaze to the audience.

For some reason, the thought of shooting at the audience members in the stands resurfaced in Dong Qi's mind.

You should know that he had already tried it with a gun before. The audience in the stands was protected by an invisible barrier. Although the strength of the invisible barrier was unknown, the heavy machine gun in Dong Qi's hand could not penetrate that invisible barrier at all.

However, the idea in his mind grew stronger and stronger, so Dong Qi, thinking that it wouldn't hurt to give it a try, raised his hand and fired a shot without hesitation.

However, Dong Qi never expected that even when he fired the gun, he felt that the bullets would still be blocked by an invisible barrier.

But to everyone's surprise, the bullet fired this time was not blocked by the invisible barrier at all, and a spectator in the audience was directly killed by a bullet to the head.

What Dong Qi never expected was that the audience member from before was actually the dwarf-colored figure that had died and transformed into an audience member.

The weapon Dong Qi just used was not the heavy machine gun that he had put back on his back after the battle, but a rifle that he was holding in his hand.

Based on previous combat experience, the rifle he used, let alone piercing the opponent's skull, even if it hit the opponent's eye directly, would not cause fatal damage due to their abnormal regenerative ability.

But just now, it was just a random shot. Even if it was a precise headshot, it wouldn't have been enough to kill him directly.

Upon noticing this unusual situation, Dong Qi picked up his rifle and continued firing.

The audience members in the stands were like puppets on a counter; even when other audience members around them died, they remained motionless.

After Dong Qi killed more than half of the audience members, he heard that deep voice again: "The trial has ended and will soon be closed. If you do not leave the trial, you will be permanently trapped in the trial space."

The countdown to the trial's end has begun:

ten,

nine,

Eight,

seven,"

Listening to the deep countdown in his ear, although the voice was very calm, Dong Qi felt that the other person was eager to drive him away.

The idea is that whatever the enemy resists must be beneficial to us.

At this moment, Dong Qi completely ignored the cold countdown in his ears and focused on continuing to shoot at the audience in the stands.

Because there were many spectators in the audience, Dong Qi changed the magazines several times during the shooting of the motionless puppets.

Dong Qi was gambling by ignoring the countdown in his ear, gambling that the sound in his ear was deceiving him.

The reason for this thought was that as the countdown reached zero, Dong Qi gradually realized that the so-called trial space trial participants were all a lie.

This secret realm belongs to the remnants of another world. Dong Qi has the mark of Blue Star on his body. According to the memories in his mind, the two sides have become mortal enemies and will definitely kill each other if given the chance.

Once this relationship is understood, and considering that the fundamental purpose of all Blue Star creatures entering the secret realm is to find and destroy its core, not to participate in any so-called trials or obtain trial rewards, then this will become clear.

The secret realm built by the remnants of the other world was not intended to benefit Earth's creatures and make them stronger, but rather to accelerate the erosion and expansion of the secret realm's territory by killing Earth's creatures.

Once the reasons behind the two are understood, we can understand why Dong Qi did this.

Next, Dong Qi will not only shoot all the spectators in the audience, but if he still fails to find the core of the secret realm, he will not hesitate to destroy some things in front of him.

Not only will they destroy the surrounding audience seats, but they will also reverse their way into the passage where enemies appear on the other side to investigate whether the core of the secret realm is hidden there.

Fortunately, after Dong Qi killed the last spectator in the audience, a crack appeared in the ground in the center of the battle arena.

A trophy stands on a cylindrical stone platform.

The moment Dong Qi saw the trophy, for some reason, he instantly knew that this trophy was the core of this secret realm.

There's no need to destroy the trophy. Simply drip your blood into it to form a contract with it, and you'll gain access to the secret realm and complete control over it.

Most importantly, Dong Qi can use this secret realm as a base to continuously develop it, allowing its coverage area to grow.

When this secret realm covered the entire Blue Star, Dong Qi effectively became the ruler of Blue Star.

At this moment, Dong Qi's mind kept flashing back to all the benefits he could gain after taking control of this secret realm following the blood-binding ceremony with the trophy before him.

However, Dong Qi was not swayed by the captivating scenes that kept appearing in his mind. Instead, when he approached the trophy, he did not take out the dagger from his leg to complete the blood oath ceremony.

Instead, he simply unfastened the grenade from his waist, pulled the pin, and threw it directly into the trophy.

With a deafening roar, the trophy that had been standing on the podium was instantly blasted into dust by the grenade that Dong Qi had just thrown in.

Just as Dong Qi was looking at the shattered podium and the trophy turned to ashes, feeling somewhat lost and unsure of what to do next,

The surrounding stands inexplicably began to collapse, but instead of various kinds of construction debris, what appeared after the stands collapsed were pale yellow specks of light.

As the audience seats continued to collapse, those pale yellow specks of light gradually gathered in the air.

Only after the audience seats completely collapsed did Dong Qi realize that he had already left the secret realm.

The convoy had appeared not far away at some unknown time, and most importantly, all the vehicles in the convoy were currently resting and repairing, and the convoy had not yet been attacked by the ubiquitous mutant insects.

The convoy members were also shocked by the situation before them. The reward for Lu Ziye and his group after choosing to leave the secret realm was that they could stop and rest around the secret realm and would not be driven away by the secret realm guards or harassed by the mutated insects for a day.

Although everyone was not entirely satisfied with the reward, a reward was better than nothing, especially since their convoy had been driving for such a long time.

Although most vehicles have a different driver during the journey, the fatigue that occurs after a long time in the car cannot be eliminated simply by changing drivers.

Although the team only lost three people in the secret realm, it should be noted that these three were all Awakened Ones and the backbone of the team's three vehicles.

Most importantly, there were only a dozen or so Awakened in the entire convoy, and the death of three of them dealt a devastating blow to the convoy.

Moreover, when the convoy stopped to rest near the secret realm, Lu Ziye wanted to find Dong Qi to summarize their experiences in the secret realm, only to find that Dong Qi had not returned to the convoy and seemed to have not yet left the secret realm.

Just as Lu Ziye was wondering what had happened after he left and was worried about it.

The secret realm building not far away first shook, and then gradually began to collapse.

Upon realizing this unexpected situation, Lu Ziye immediately ordered everyone to return to the car and prepare to leave at any time.

What no one expected was that, along with the collapse of the building, the ruins shattered into pale yellow specks of light, which floated and gathered in mid-air like smoke and dust. Then, everyone discovered Dong Qi below those pale yellow specks of light.

Once the collapsed building had completely turned into pale yellow specks of light, half of the specks of light disappeared into thin air as if they had never existed, right before everyone's eyes were fixed on them.

The remaining light spots floating in the air mostly descended and merged into Dong Qi's body.

A few remaining specks of light, divided into several parts of varying sizes, drifted into the bodies of the awakened individuals in the convoy who had previously entered the secret realm.

When those pale yellow light spots entered the bodies of the awakened ones, those who obtained the light spots inexplicably learned about their origin and function.

These pale yellow dots are the origins carried by visitors from other worlds when they entered Blue Star. The original will of Blue Star guided those remnants of other worlds into Blue Star not for charity, but also to obtain the origin.

As long as the awakened ones can shatter the core of the secret realm created by those otherworldly remnants, the original will of Blue Star can obtain the original energy they brought with them when they entered Blue Star.

Even though the awakened ones are already deeply imprinted with the original will of the Blue Star, it is virtually impossible for them to betray the cause.

However, in order to enhance the motivation of the awakened ones, the Blue Star's original will only takes half of the original energy harvested each time, and the remaining original energy is distributed according to the actual contribution.

The uses of primal energy are numerous. The simplest is to increase the upper limit of supernatural abilities, improve physical fitness, recover from injuries, and cure diseases. There are many other uses, which await awakeners who have obtained primal energy to explore on their own.

Having understood the purpose of the source value, the others in the convoy now looked at Dong Qi with a growing sense of envy and jealousy.

After all, the distribution of primal energy had just been laid bare before everyone's eyes. The total amount of primal energy obtained by the others in the convoy was less than half of what Dong Qi had obtained.

Anyone who sees this situation would be unable to remain calm.
