Origin Paradise!

"Gluttony possesses the power of rules that forcefully aggregates and elevates the extraordinary. Because of this, at the same level, Gluttony can obtain the strongest skills, the most complete combat system, the best equipment, and the most outstanding characteristics of the era."

Jiang He carefully manipulated the flames and asked, "And then there's arrogance."

Lilith laughed and said, "You mean that Ghost King? She has no bottlenecks at all in front of sixth-tier gods. Even if she doesn't belong to the battlefield faction, she can grow into a legend in at least 10 or 20 years. Her arrogance is so great that she ignores all constraints. That's roughly the power of the arrogant child form. Normally, a legend should be measured in a hundred years."

"Juvenile body?"

"You can only be considered a newborn, both in terms of the power of gluttony and the lifespan of a sun elf."

Moments later, the molten iron boiled.

Lilith reminded her, "Swallowing the molten iron will be a painful process, but it won't be a big deal for you. Use the Gluttony Lord's power to fuse the ivory and blood poison together. I controlled your body in the Ember World, so just imitate what I did."

Jiang He canceled the dual simplified domain, and the surging hot wind caused the surrounding ground to crystallize. The molten iron burned through his throat and fell into his stomach, causing serious damage from the inside, but it failed to shake the foundation of the Overlord's body.

"call……"

Swallowing molten iron brought excruciating pain. Veins bulged on Jiang He's forehead. He glared angrily at Lilith, but quickly suppressed his anger. Ultimately, this was his own choice, and he had no one to blame but himself for the outcome; it was all meaningless anyway.

With his ultimate self-healing technique, Black Within Black, repairing the damage, Jiang He barely managed to maintain his composure. He activated the Gluttony Lord's ability to fuse ivory and blood poison. The materials were merely the surface; the extraordinary factors were the true essence. However, when he attempted to integrate flames and lightning, the stability of this alchemy faltered violently.

"Greed is truly your nature." Lilith smiled helplessly. "Your rank should have been silver, but because of your status as a chosen one of the gods, you are currently at gold. Internally, your influence is equivalent to your rank, but externally, you are a level lower. Simply put, the quality limit of this weapon can only be perfect."

Half a minute later, stability was restored.

Lilith suddenly said, "Use solidification technology to cool down the fused extraordinary factors."

Jiang He nodded, and the red and white molten iron in his body stopped boiling. He opened his mouth and spat it out. After demolding and low-temperature cooling, it was finally shaped into a heavy sword.

[Name: Elephant Poison Sword]

[Category: Weapons]

[Quality: Perfect]

[Effect ①: Extremely Durable]

[Effect 2: Deadly Poison - The sword contains a supreme-grade poison]

[Effect 3: Elephant King - Increases user's strength by 50%]

[Note: A rudimentary alchemical creation]

Following the same method, Jiang He forged a white jade shield for the second time using alchemy. The materials were taken from molten white jade iron and the excellent-grade Guardian's Shield, and the structure was modeled after the Overlord's Armor.

[Name: Watcher's Shield]

[Category: Armor]

[Quality: Perfect]

[Effect ①: Ultimate Durability]

[Effect 2: Extremely effective shock absorption/cut resistance]

[Effect 2: Elephant King - Increases the user's strength by 50%]

[Effect 3: Immovable as a Mountain - Defense increased by 50% when standing still]

[Note: A rudimentary alchemical creation]

Jiang He handed the sword and shield to Zhuang Ya and Lao Hei respectively, and at the same time, a notification sound rang in his ears.

[Note: Due to the depletion of Gluttony Factor, the Gluttony Lord's abilities will be on cooldown for three natural days.]

[Hint: You have mastered the Devouring Refinement Method and have been promoted to Alchemy Master]

Jiang He read the detailed prompts and found that the consumption of the Gluttony Factor was within expectations. This cost would not reduce his upper limit; he would just need to rest for a while. As for the Devouring Refinement Technique, Lilith made the greatest contribution. Whether it was the use of the ability or the solidification technique, it was all thanks to her hands-on teaching.

"Old Black, come over here for the bloodline transplant."

"okay."

Inside the central tower, Old Black finished class early with a joyful expression.

Jiang He led Lao Hei to a stone house. Knowing Lao Hei's temperament, he had already killed Huo Dou when he returned. This would cause the bloodline to lose some of its activity, but because of the mismatch between the true forms, it was impossible to inherit the whole thing anyway, so killing him casually would not affect the final result.

The blood transplant surgery begins.

A three-headed demon wolf revealed its true form.

After awakening the Silver Will of Guardian, Old Black has the qualifications to form his true form in the Bronze stage.

On the properly treated corpse of the Huodou, wisps of blood floated in the air, moving towards the true form of the demon wolf. This blood had a crystal-clear texture, with orange spots rising and falling deep within. Huodou feeds on fire and is born with the power to control flames.

As the bloodline transplant progressed, Lao Hei's size increased again, soon exceeding three meters. Flames ignited on his body, and a superior-level fire control skill was born.

Because the base values ​​are relatively low, the improvement in this aspect is relatively obvious, and the free attribute is improved in all aspects. However, at the same time, the drops of blood evaporate and disappear, and about 30% of the pure bloodline of the King of Calamity is wasted.

After the transplant was completed, Old Black opened his mouth and spat out a burst of orange-yellow flames that stretched for more than ten meters.

"You probably can't withstand the Blood Poison Fire and the Scorching Fire. For now, eat the Withering Fire." A pale gray fireball appeared in Jiang He's palm.

Old Black tentatively swallowed it, the process was a little slow, the feeling of fullness was extremely strong. Even if Huo Dou could swallow fire, there was a limit in a short time, and it could not eat its own flames.

"Xiao He, it tastes good, but it's a bit salty."

Jiang He paused for a moment, then raised her hand and ate a pale gray fireball. After savoring it for a while, she said, "I can't taste it. This is probably a unique characteristic of the Huodou."

He couldn't fill his stomach with flames, but after a whole night, the island turtles had been processed by the evil soldiers, and the Dawn Man's chef team was ready. Spices and various seasonings filled half the room, and the turtle meat was piled up like a mountain.

The ruins of the alchemy workshop in the canceled realm have been turned into a "grill," with a team of two thousand chefs working overtime to deliver food to the Great Lord. The shells of the land turtles also have a great use; after being destroyed by the Long-Hate Dragon Spear, the fragments can be used to reinforce the city walls.

……

Seven days later.

Current date: December 16, 2028.

Since regaining his Gluttony Lord abilities, Jiang He has been eating non-stop, without sleep.

Two days ago, the flesh and blood of half an island were consumed, the gluttony progress bar was filled hundreds of times, and the original rare-level skill, Extraordinary Burst, was upgraded to the perfect level, and subtle changes appeared.

He had rarely used this skill before because its rank was too low. Rare skills corresponded to high-ranking bronze skills, and it couldn't provide the percentage bonus described to silver-level beings. Fortunately, his level had been increased.

[Perfect-level Passive - Extraordinary Burst LV3: Provides a 103% effect boost to any single ability, requires a large amount of stamina (can be strengthened by consuming the blood of higher-level beings)]

Extraordinary burst is a versatile skill that can be applied to all aspects of the combat system.

Now that the other half of the Land Island Turtle's flesh and blood has been completely devoured, Jiang He stopped supplying the Extraordinary Burst and instead focused on the Land Island Turtle's own characteristics. After fusing with the skill Dragon Scale, he created a brand new ability.

[Name: Dragon Turtle Sword and Shield]

[Category: Passive]

[Quality: Perfect]

[Effect: Ultimate Durability]

[Note: A crude but useful passive ability]

Jiang He exerted a little force, and suddenly a layer of platinum scales appeared all over his body, shimmering with the luster of steel. Special bones, like short swords, emerged from his collarbone, protecting his relatively vulnerable neck. Once the Overlord Armor covered him tightly from the outside, he completely became a normal-sized iron box.

At this point, the "shortcomings" in terms of burst damage and defense after the return have been made up to some extent.

Jiang He was now quite certain that he had completely reached the Silver-level powerhouse level. After all, the Gluttonous Lord's previous focus on physical enhancement was on potential rather than direct improvement, which left some shortcomings.

"The derivative missions had been on cooldown for seven days before the world missions were activated, and the cooldown ended today."

"Seven days until the next world mission."

Jiang He didn't intend to miss the derivative quests. His player level was far behind his strength. Normally, LV25 is the dividing line between silver and bronze, and LV50 is the line between gold and silver. He was currently LV12 and desperately needed experience points.

……

A spin-off quest has been initiated.

Familiar transition scenes came into view.

In the foggy city shrouded in night, the river is shrouded in mist, and the twin towers beside the bridge soar into the clouds, yet are shrouded in the thick fog that never dissipates. The window frames of the ancient buildings on the riverbank emit the faint light of oil lamps, adding an eerie yellow hue to the foggy night.

The war, which had been raging with gunfire, had barely ended, and the smoke of battle had not yet cleared, when a deep abyss opened up on the edge of the fog-shrouded city, from which thousands of demons crawled out. They blended into the crowd, instigated riots, fueled the war, made pacts with the native creatures, and reaped lives by bestowing power upon them.

The power of knights is a thing of the past, glory is gone, demons invade in force, and the chosen ones are born to fight them to the death. In the end, the world's consciousness falls, and three special teams descend upon this world. The leader activates the coordinates, summoning more of their kind to set foot on this land.

[In 1920 AD, a demon invasion occurred.]

[The seven chosen ones have died one after another, and the consciousness of the Remnant World has perished, transforming into the world's core and falling to the mortal realm. The three battlefields of End, Twilight, and All Beings launch an invasion, attempting to seize control of the Remnant World.]

[Hint: After consciousness perished, the world of the remnant transformed into a semi-derived, semi-real world]

[Note: The World Core can be reincarnated into any item; its destruction will lead to an irreversible end for the world.]

[Hint: Seizing the World Core and rekindling the Coordinate Flame can revive the world's consciousness.]

[Hint: Demons—higher beings from the abyss. This invasion was launched by the Gold-rank Demon Lord Bart. He himself is currently unable to pass through the abyssal rift. The demons hope to find and destroy the core of the world, completely crush the last resistance of the remnant world, and summon Demon Lord Bart to descend.]

[Hint: Demon Morsis – a peak-level Grand Demon, the only heir and most capable lieutenant of the Demon Lord. He has infiltrated human society and risen to a high position. After the world's core shatters, the world's last remaining power will be destroyed. At that time, demons like Morsis will tear off their disguises and trigger the apocalypse.]

[Hint: Demon Contractors – Individuals who abandon knightly honor and convert to demonic power. Due to their speed and strength, they have gained widespread recognition among the old knights, leading to an explosion in their numbers.]

[Hint: Tommy, the last chosen one – then a Member of Parliament and billionaire]

[Hint: The three battlefields of the End, Twilight, and All Beings—super-massive frontiers that have never experienced a break in the lineage of the extraordinary—obtained permission from the Origin battlefield branch X eras ago. Players have an upper limit to their life level, are numerous, and face fierce competition.]

[Note: Because the Remnant World belonged to the Origin Battlefield, and after the world's consciousness perished, the Origin lost its teleportation authority over this world, as certified by the Pillar of Eternal Marrow.]

[Mission Name: Battle to Reclaim Survival (Tier 2)]

[Quest Type: 4-Player Raid]

[Mission Objective: Protect the last chosen one and revive the world's consciousness]

[Task Rewards: ① 2000 Game Coins and Experience Points ② Perfect-Grade Targeted Skill Scroll *1]

[Task Time Limit: Fourteen calendar days]

[Note: This mission requires access to the privilege module. Killing an enemy player in the battlefield will reward you with 1-10 merit points, which can be redeemed after the mission ends.]

[Note: Players from all four factions are prohibited from leaving the Fog City area during this mission; violators will be publicly executed by the Pillars of Eternity]

[Note: When the World Core reignites the Coordinate Fire, the exact location will be revealed to all players.]

Jiang He seemed to be deep in thought. It seemed to be four parties, but it was actually three: the demon faction wanted to destroy the world core, the three major battlefields wanted to seize the world core, and the origin wanted to take it back.

Whether it's the origin or the three major battlefields, as long as one side gains control, the other side may cooperate with the demon faction.

[Temporary language translation module has been loaded]

World, begin!

Chapter 326 Space Carrier

Origin teleportation activated.

But the goal is not to directly reach the world of the dead.

Jiang He came to her senses and found herself sitting on a spaceship. Outside the window was a vast and dazzling starry sky, and directly below was a circular celestial body, which was mostly enveloped by endless abyssal black mist.

[Hint: You are currently aboard a space carrier (small/unfailing class). This area is temporarily a safe zone; combat is prohibited.]

The space carrier is a small model, but the interior space is not cramped. The cabin is similar to a bar, with a dance floor and bar counter. The atmosphere is relatively quiet, and there are only six people in total, including the service staff.

"If it's free, I'd like a glass of ice wine."

Jiang He went to the bar, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

The bartender was a long-haired woman, and we could barely call her an acquaintance. She had the ID "Cangshan Fuxue" and her life level was at the Silver Common level, but she seemed to have switched to the service industry.

"Your Excellency hasn't fallen on hard times lately, has he?" Jian Fuxue teased with a smile, but her hands were not slow. She once had the identity of the legitimate daughter of the King of Anbei in the ancient martial arts world. Later, she was promoted to Silver level after passing a real attribute test, and she could no longer return to that world.

"The Flame Reborn Cocktail, for good luck."

Jane pushed the orange-yellow cocktail across the table, but someone intercepted it.

The newcomer pulled out a chair and sat down next to someone. A finely crafted talisman of excellent quality was affixed to his brow, and his aura was clearly at the peak of the Silver rank. He immediately introduced himself:

“Member of the Buddhist and Taoist Committee, Logistics Captain, my name is Jian Chaoyang. I should be a privileged player like you. This is my sister.”

The man with the talisman cautiously sized up the "yellow-haired" man's appearance. In terms of looks, he was indeed exceptionally handsome, but the difference between the platinum-haired man and the blond-haired man was almost negligible in his eyes.

"Then you should have stopped your sister, not this drink." Jiang He snatched the cocktail back. He was not as interested in the two siblings as he was in the drink. After drinking it down, it felt like a line of fire shot down his throat. A moment later, the fire returned along the same path. It was a double stimulation, but the latter was more memorable.

"Hmph." The man with the talisman snorted coldly, lowered his hand and clenched it lightly before regaining consciousness. The other party was definitely not a charm-type player.

"They're all acquaintances."
