Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

The energy emitted by the sphere of light was vying for territory with the black matter, which gradually lost ground.

Seeing this, the black "angels" abandoned Xu Jiawei and Si Yunming and returned to the statue to defend. With the defense of these black substances, the light orbs were forced to retreat and were about to be swallowed up by the black substances again.

Xu Jiawei could only use the Light Purification again to help the ball of light, but the black matter came on strong and Xu Jiawei was powerless to resist, so the effect of the Light Purification was barely noticeable.

Just as the black substance was about to gain control again, a blinding white light suddenly rose from all around the hall and surged into the statue, instantly shattering the black substance's advantage.

The white light was unstoppable, completely engulfing the darkness.

Before disappearing, the black matter roared in resentment, "You bastard, you're still going against me even in death!" The black matter was powerless to change anything and was finally swallowed up by the sphere of light.

"Once I emerge, the entire continent will be mine." With that, the black substance vanished.

At this point, the statue could no longer bear the weight and collapsed completely.

In the ashes of the statue, a woman who looked exactly like the idol and was somewhat transparent appeared before Xu Jiawei. She had a beautiful face and golden hair that shone like the sun.

So souls really do exist in the world. But if it's an incarnation of God, can it still be called a soul?

"Thank you for restoring my senses." The woman's voice was very clear and gentle, like a spring breeze, making one unconsciously want to believe her.

Xu Jiawei instantly became alert. This feeling was a bit strange, so she secretly became vigilant. What if this was the evil god in disguise?

Seemingly sensing Xu Jiawei's thoughts, the woman smiled and said, "You don't need to be wary of me. My name is Shengxin, and I'm not that evil god. You can ask me any questions you have."

As players, both Xu Jiawei and Si Yunming had many questions. They exchanged a glance, and Xu Jiawei spoke first, "Are you the owner of this statue? Does this world really have gods?"

"I am indeed the owner of this statue. The so-called god is just a title given by others. Anyone above level 90 can be called a god. We are just stronger humans. Perhaps the real god needs to break through level 100."

Si Yunming added, "Has anyone reached level 100?"

Sacred Heart's body became increasingly transparent, and she shook her head.

"No, even that evil god was only level 99. Maybe I just didn't live long enough to see anyone at level 100. I only reached level 95 before I died. Level 100 is just too far away. I don't know what the conditions are for going from level 99 to level 100."

Shengxin glanced at her body, then looked at the two of them: "Any other questions? I don't have much time left."

"What is that evil god? And why are we here?" Xu Jiawei continued to ask.

"We call him the Evil God. He was originally a normal god, but in order to reach level 100, he wanted to sacrifice the entire world. The rest of us sealed him in a forbidden area to stop him from perishing with him."

"As for you, it's probably because the world itself has already sensed the awakening of the evil god, and this world is powerless to resist, so it had no choice but to take you people from another world over."

While she was being suppressed by the evil god's clone, she heard from him that people from another world had come to this world. After thinking about it for a moment, she understood. After all, there were no people above level 90 in this world anymore, so how could they fight against the evil god?

It's just a pity for these people; they have to undergo severe trials once they arrive here, as even their original world has abandoned them.

Sacred Heart's body became increasingly transparent. She looked at the two of them and said, "To thank you, you can each choose one item from the secret chamber to take with you. Gentleman, you stay here for now. I have something to say to you."

Although the entire statue collapsed, the secret chamber remained intact, and as Sacred Heart finished speaking, the door to the secret chamber opened automatically.

Si Yunming nodded to Xu Jiawei, and Xu Jiawei entered the secret room first.

"Did you leave me here because of my health? Do you have a solution?" Si Yunming could only think of being influenced by that evil god; there was no other reason.

Sacred Heart smiled and nodded. "I can help you control the energy within your body. After all, the future of this world depends on you."

After she finished speaking, a small point of light emerged from Shengxin's body. After the point of light left Shengxin's body, her figure gradually dissipated, and the small point of light merged into Si Yunming's body.

[Ding! Congratulations to the player for receiving the blessing of the Goddess of Light and gaining the skill, Consciousness Purification: Passive skill, grants immunity to consciousness erosion.]

Unexpectedly, the problem that had been troubling him was solved just like that. The last voice of the Holy Heart came, faint and indistinct: "In the future, you should use that evil god's skill less often. Although your spirit will no longer be corrupted, your body will still be corrupted. I hope you can save the people of this world..."

As the voice of the Sacred Heart faded, the temple's luster also vanished, leaving it lifeless and dilapidated.

Si Yunming nodded, looking at the spot where the Sacred Heart had disappeared, and said, "I promise you."

After saying that, he went into the secret room to find Xu Jiawei. Seeing that Xu Jiawei was still struggling to decide what to choose, he went over to her.

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Xu Jiawei said, "You've come."

Si Yunming looked around at the treasure chests scattered around him, placed his hand on one of them, and a system notification popped up.

[Ding! Congratulations, player, you have found the Light God's Treasure Chest. The contents of the chest vary greatly, so please make your choice carefully.]

Si Yunming finally understood why Xu Jiawei was so conflicted.

Xu Jiawei touched this treasure chest and then that chest, unsure which one to choose.

Xu Jiawei's luck is currently normal, but Si Yunming's luck is only 17, two of which were increased by the luck attribute fruits he acquired.

This game of chance is too much for him.

At times like this, making a wish comes in handy. Xu Jiawei put her hands together and prayed, "I wish to choose the two best boxes."

Si Yunming: ...Will this really improve my luck? Is this some kind of mysterious ritual? Should I do it?

Xu Jiawei opened her eyes. At this moment, the box emitted different lights, some silver, some gold, some bronze, and some colorful.

The rainbow-colored box emitted a dazzling light, and Xu Jiawei unconsciously hugged it to her arms.

Turning his head, he saw Si Yunming placing his hand on a bronze-colored treasure chest, about to open it.

Xu Jiawei quickly stopped him. Si Yunming's luck was truly amazing. To be able to pick out the worst one from this pile of boxes was something that not just anyone could do.

"Three-point brother, don't choose that chest, it's a bronze treasure chest. Choose these over here, this chest emits a little colored light, this is a diamond treasure chest, and this is a gold treasure chest, they're better than that one," Xu Jiawei shouted.

Si Yunming stopped what he was doing and looked at Xu Jiawei with a complicated expression. His former partner, who had stood shoulder to shoulder with him, had suddenly abandoned him.

Si Yunming opened the treasure chest that Xu Jiawei had pointed out, which had a faint rainbow-colored glow. Inside, there was only one item.

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining a semi-mythical level special equipment, the attribute ring: grants 2 attribute points randomly each day (excluding luck).]
