Origin Paradise!

"They may seem uneven, but they actually complement each other and fit together perfectly."

"Your Majesty, now combine them."

One by one, the radiant elemental stars gathered together, their edges interlocking, which led to the birth of an even larger world star.

The fortune teller sighed, "I wonder if any of you are familiar with the theory of continental drift."

Does the textbook count?

"Um... let's be more precise."

Jiang He immediately shook her head.

Old Hei shook his head helplessly as well.

Seeing the two of them shake their heads, Zhuang Ya also shook her little head.

Wuhe hesitated for a long time before suppressing the urge to nod.

Seeing this, the fortune teller decided to take care of her customers and solemnly and briefly said, "The theory of continental drift suggests that all the continents in the world today were once a unified supercontinent before the Mesozoic Era, called Pangaea or the supercontinent."

"There are numerous supporting arguments for this theory, such as the distribution of paleontological fossils, geomagnetism, earthquakes, and space observations, which have led to the development of plate tectonics."

"The first person to formally propose this idea was Alfred Wegener, who was wounded during the war. While recuperating, he discovered that the coastlines of the two continents were very similar. He speculated through drawings that the continents were likely originally connected, and published 'The Origin of Continents and Oceans' more than a hundred years ago."

The fortune teller, processing her shock, continued, "In my opinion, the Eternal Darkness World may also be in the same situation."

"It and its dozens of subsidiary worlds were originally one."

"And according to what the star chart shows, it is reuniting at a relatively fast pace."

Wuhe said gravely, “The problem is that there are five similar star charts.”

“No.” The fortune teller pointed solemnly to the edge of the eternally dark world. “The real problem is that the edge of the merged eternally dark world is still uneven, which means that this is not the end.”

"I think we should find the remaining four as soon as possible, especially at this point in time."

"To put it simply, this may involve the launch of the public beta of the Origins game, which is the new version."

Jiang He thought for a moment, then raised her hand and a drop of golden blood spilled out.

The drop of blood contained a rich fragrance, and the fortune teller stared intently at it, her throat bobbing.

Old Hei silently watched as someone took out a drop of source blood. If he remembered correctly, the ink painting who was currently participating in a daily task should be a blood servant.

"Marquis-level source blood cannot withstand it."

"Then let's use earls to make up the numbers."

Golden source blood flew out instantly.

Jiang He closed his eyes to rest. As an executor, he did not intend to directly intervene in the daily tasks of Origin. However, one of the skills of the title of the first emperor, Royal Minister, could make any subordinate a vessel for descent, provided it was necessary.

The fortune teller said, "Your Excellency, two low-level sets of equipment are ready, one for speed and one for magic. This intelligence is very valuable."

Chapter 503 Realm Star Map

Penglai Hotel.

The stench of decay permeated the single suite 0999.

Mo Shuihua sat in the chair, his whole body tense, staring intently at the oil painting hanging above the bed, a bead of cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

In the oil painting, the forest is eerie and gloomy, and a dark shadow appears and disappears in the eerie darkness among the trees.

Every time the ink painting shifts its gaze, the shadow gradually approaches, and the real threat of death has grown from faint to incredibly intense.

A prolonged stalemate.

The ink paintings clearly reveal that the oil paintings capture the spiritual energy overflowing from his highly stressed state.

"At this rate, the shadow will only grow stronger!"

"what to do."

"Am I destined to die here, unable to become a Silver-rank expert even in death?!"

call!

A drop of golden blood ignored the wall and struck Inkpaint's forehead directly, the extremely intense force flowing into his body.

[Hint: You have obtained the Constitution of Vampire Earl (Flawed). Due to insufficient capacity, it has not been fully loaded (slowly being processed)]

[Hint: Your attribute effects have been increased by 290%]

[Note: You have achieved maximum self-healing (but have not reached the required capacity)]

[Hint: You have awakened the Excellent-grade ability, Blood Ink]

[Hint: You have awakened the Excellent-grade ability, Blood Pen]

[Note: Your resistances to mental, abnormal, and mysterious stats are increased by 30%]

[Hint: You have obtained the title "Servant of the King"]

[Hint: You have obtained the title "Hungry Earl"]

In an instant, a series of notifications sounded.

The massive improvements in many aspects even led Ink Painting to mistakenly believe that he had been promoted to Silver without even realizing it.

A powerful aura, completely different from the previous moment, erupted.

The premonition of death, like being pricked by needles, subsided, and a continuous surge of power emerged, which continued to rise.

"This kind of power..."

"Too strong!"

"It's still growing, I could practically rule the world!"

"Hahaha……"

The ink painter picked up a bright red brush and thrust it forward, directly imprinting it onto the dark shadow in the painting. Accompanied by a puff of black smoke, a mournful wail echoed from within the painting, and the monster in the painting quickly vanished.

"Vulnerable."

"Wait a minute, why am I still getting stronger?"

After the intense excitement subsided, a hint of fear appeared on Mo Shuihua's face. He felt an excruciating pain that was expanding immensely. The power contained in that drop of golden blood was too great. Even though he couldn't withstand it all, the part that was being slowly digested had already exceeded his limit.

Vampire Earl, equivalent to the peak of ordinary Gold or Silver rank.

Of course, Earl-level source blood is merely bloodline power and does not equate to a true Earl-level being.

Strands of blood seeped from beneath the cracked skin. The ink painting had lost control of its body; blood had become the master of this body, and its soul was being subjected to intense, crushing erosion.

Bang!

The ink painting exploded and began its demise.

At the same time, as the strange creature in the painting disappeared, the paint dripped down, revealing the true nature of the oil painting. In the corner, there was a strong and upright signature—"Bright Star Picture".

……

The hotel's right tower, the Sky Suite.

On the sofa, Jiang He suddenly opened her eyes, a look of unexpected astonishment appearing in them.

"Boss, what's wrong?" Wuhe asked, puzzled. He rarely saw the other party show such an expression.

Jiang He rubbed his temples and said, "An accident."

He indeed had no intention of killing Ink Painting, otherwise he wouldn't have downgraded the source blood's grade to earl, but he still overestimated the other party's ability to withstand it. In this respect, his own data was completely useless.

"The second star map is signed 'Guangming'," Jiang He said.

The fortune teller pondered, "It should be one of the world groups closest to the present world, with the world of light at its core."

Judging from the easel positions, the eternal dark star map is in the west, the bright star map is in the east, and the positions of the other three are also quite obvious, but there are no specific correspondences yet.

“If darkness and light are opposites,” Wuhe said, “then the world of light should also contain multiple legendary beings.”

On the other side, Old Black upgraded two pieces of the set to epic.

The fortune teller lowered her head to avoid revealing her greedy gaze; the value of an epic set is usually comparable to that of an immortal-grade main battle item.

[Name: Weaver Sage (6/6)]

[Category: Sets]

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect ①: Epic-level Durability]

[Effect ②: Star Pre-cast - Reduces spell casting or preparation time by 65% ​​by casting multiple times in advance (two-piece set bonus)]

[Effect 3: Sage's Heart - Can store energy (Golden Energy 250000 / Hero Energy 50000 (4-piece set unlocked))]

[Effect 4: Ultimate Ability - Spellweaver - Dual Casting (same rank and below), each activation consumes 3000 energy points, and only one dual casting can be supported per activation]

[Note: This set received an upgrade that is not due to its own attributes.]

The silver crown is inlaid with sage gems, the jet-black robe exudes formidable strength, and the fingertips of the gloves seem to be wrapped with the tail flames of a comet. The sage set is clearly for mages.

Old Hei changed into the outfits one by one, while handing another set to Wuhe.

[Name: Guatemalan Walker]

[Category: Sets]

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect ①: Epic-level Durability]

[Effect ②: Space Jump - Consumes 50% of energy, allowing for 30 consecutive space jumps within half an hour, with a maximum distance of 300 meters per jump (activated with two pieces)]

[Effect ③: Traveler - Overall speed increased by 120%, ignores wind resistance during flight, consumes 1000 energy points each time it is activated (four-piece set required)]

[Effect 4: Ultimate Ability - Emergency Escape - When health drops to 10% for the first time, activate self-exile, reduce the effectiveness of attacks from units of the same or lower rank by 75%, and teleport to a safe location]

[Note: The fugitive's parachute]

Wuhe happily changed into the Walker's Set. Due to its initial quality, the Walker's Set's speed boost was not as good as the God Hunter Set or the Eternal Night Set, but its ultimate ability was more powerful in terms of escape, which suited him perfectly.

At this point, all team members were equipped with epic-level sets.

Suddenly, Jiang He turned around, her eyes pure white.

……

The left tower of Penglai Hotel.

Twelve players participated, facing hundreds of monsters. Within a few hours, a third of them had died, and all the survivors received a notification.

"With such a high mortality rate, this mission is extraordinary."

On the top floor of the hotel, the young man in the Taoist robe and the thousand-year-old green zombie met up, both bearing numerous signs of battle.

The top floor has three sky suites, which were not for sale to the public when the Penglai Hotel was still in operation.

On the wall in the center of the hall, an oil painting hangs prominently, and beneath it, a skeleton sits cross-legged on the ground.

Seventy percent azure blue, threety percent earthy yellow.

The Taoist-robed youth and the thousand-year-old green zombie exchanged a glance. Clearly, this was the current star map, but unlike Eternal Darkness, most of the borders were shrouded in mist, making it impossible to discern.

"Judging from the position of the easel, the current star map should point south," the thousand-year-old green zombie speculated.

But just as he was pondering, the young man in the Taoist robe numbly tapped the other's shoulder.

After some investigation, the two had basically figured out the source of the strange phenomenon. These were the spirits that Mr. X had kept in captivity before his supernatural resurgence. Because of Mr. X's death, the unclaimed spirits were trapped in this place and harbored considerable malice towards the intruders.

The thousand-year-old green zombie looked up, its expression instantly stiffening. It saw that more than twenty strange creatures, including a long-haired woman and a skeleton, were blocking all the doorways, all with expressions of wanting to devour people.

"How to do?"

"Who knows what to do!"

Chapter 504 Main Story

While the players and participants were exploring the hotel.

In the waters off Penglai Island, a non-military submarine is moving rapidly underwater.
