245: Chapter 226: Collapse and Rebuilding 245: Chapter 226: Collapse and Rebuilding “If killing is a sin, then let’s have more of it. – Kerdalais!” On the joyful throne, “Kerdalais” had just enjoyed a feast. Within the Holy Image behind him, a “sixth-order little demon of the blood feast” had already been hung up. The “warrior” who dared to challenge the True Gods met his deserved end… It only took a single face-off for him to become a sacrifice. “…It makes no sense… He’s just a fourth-fifth tier… How could he be so strong…” The “him” hanging on the tree, with only a face left, was still muttering incessantly, expressing his inner obsession and confusion. The replica “history” has limitations, so the illusory image cannot turn into a True God. With Long Qianlan’s ceremony, it’s amazing to have a fourth-fifth tier being… The blood feast visitor thought he could handle it, but he did not expect the gap to be so huge. Walking the “Undead” and “vampire” paths, even if he had the possibility of losing, he still felt he could escape… In the end, he became the first sixth-order to die. His death announced a terrible reality. “Our bargaining chip is still not enough.” Despair spread. If the strength of that sixth-order was not enough, perhaps, the strength of other sixth-orders would also be insufficient. Fear spread, and finally, the strongmen could only make the same decision. “Kill, keep killing…” In this Holy Domain, the speed of improvement was evident, and a breakthrough on the battlefield was possible. They all understood the logic of drinking poison to quench thirst, but it seemed like they had no choice now… “Is there really no way out? In the end, it’s still because of greed.” Lu Ping’an saw the situation quite clearly. The fake was still fake. The historical illusion of this Secret Realm would ultimately be corrected by reality. The chances of strongmen struggling to survive were still very high… if they were willing to give up this divine foundation of ascension right in front of them. The path of Kerdalais, her “truth,” was all revealed here. For those who practiced Life system abilities, it was a self-sufficient and self-contained world of perfect path. For one path, only one predecessor could reach the peak. There can be only one True God in a Church. When Kerdalais gave up her position, and when all her inheritance was exposed, as long as one could successfully inherit it and ascend to heaven in one step, the stronger they were, the harder they could break free. “…This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” “This is my chance to become a god.” “If I miss him, I will only die of old age.” “Delicious power…” The road to heaven for professionals is relentless, constantly racing with life. In the unshackled “Holy Domain,” it became their indulgent shackles. Even if the “delicacies” they created were poisonous, they would still try to devour more for the sake of the Ascension ceremony. This is the third trap of Kerdalais, the trap of greed, specifically prepared for the “Life-system peers” who came to stir things up. “Lu Ping’an, help me! We have a deal.” Fang Wen yelled in the communication, and it was audible that she was really in a hurry. As one could imagine, she, who was beaten and crippled among the mad predators, would inevitably be the slowest. “Our deal is limited to hunting down the Mother Goddess believers…” Lu Ping’an put away the Battle Axe, as he wouldn’t let go of this opportunity to harvest, and he was even less inclined to take the lead. “Yes, now hunt down our target and help me kill Long Qianlan!” The building had turned into ruins, and the man-made no-man’s land stretched far and wide. The combination of monsters and villains had arrived here, where all life forms turned into relationships of killing and being killed. Each encounter was a choice between heaven and hell. On the roof of a building, Lu Ping’an saw Fang Wen again…or rather, a part of Fang Wen. The top half of her silver figure was still intact, the sixth-tier war figure Silver War was still imposing, but the lower half had turned into two simple “brackets,” looking somewhat ridiculous. Part of this was the “damage” she suffered, and part of it was the “discrimination” result of the Holy Domain. “…My body is not suited to these rules. I cannot bind my life force completely to my body. The Mother Goddess refuses my sacrifice. It says, she says…” Fang Wen’s condition was quite bad, her lower half showing a fluid-like structure and several cracks appearing in her intact upper half from time to time. “…It says, he says…” Like a broken tape, half of Fang Wen’s body was suspended in mid-air, playing meaningless phrases in a loop. Looking at Fang Wen like this, Lu Ping’an was a bit surprised. How did she become like this in less than an hour after they separated? Her repetition became faster and faster, almost turning into an inaudible sound wave. The walls and floor of the rooftop disintegrated into powder, and her state became almost out of control. The more she spoke, the louder she was, and the more cracks appeared on her body, with silver powder falling continuously. “What did it say!” At this time, Lu Ping’an laughed, rubbing salt in the wound. This was his first time seeing a professional “lose control,” and he was somewhat curious to see what kind of magic monster the other would transform into. “It said, the Mother Goddess said, I’m not a real life, I don’t have the qualification to sacrifice, I’m just a wreck of a human, the real ‘me’ is already dead, I’m just steel made of scrap…”At first, she was full of anger and self-questioning, but as she spoke, her tone became more and more bland, and her pitch became more and more “synthetic.” It’s becoming mechanical. When the “ideological” her believes that she is already dead, then real death is not far away. “Faith collapses, well, it turns out to be a devout believer.” The big cat is also taking pleasure in her misfortune, she is very happy to see her most devout follower be finished. Fang Wen shouldn’t be so fragile. As a “Mechanic Spiritualist,” she should have been prepared for the debate about whether mechanical lifeforms and ideological lifeforms are still alive. But as a devout “Mother Goddess believer (she believes in the Mother Goddess and is not loyal to the big cat),” when the Mother Goddess deemed her as a “non-living body without the qualification to sacrifice,” it was like God coming down and saying ‘you’re not human, you’re not worthy of believing in me,’ and she shook at once. Faith has always been a double-edged sword. For “believers,” faith in the deity can speed up their progress in their profession, but once it collapses, it becomes a fatal weakness. And what’s even crueler is that not only are there “accusations,” there is also evidence… this accusation of “you are not human” is hitting her at her most confused and insecure moments. Her fluid mechanical body cannot serve as a qualified container for normal life force; the more she eats, the more she loses, and it mixes with her normal spirit body, causing her to lose a lot. Not to mention the power that could be obtained through sacrifice; she was directly excluded… while the others were feasting, she became the first to be “abandoned.” Giving up the physical body “spirit body” is extremely important for self-cognition. Her collapse is visible to the naked eye, or if left alone, she will perish from this. Continuous battles have shattered her body, the reality of the predicament has cornered her, and the collapse of the heart of faith has dealt a fatal blow…The other side of the long life of electronic spirit body life forms is that once their self-cognition collapses, they will be done directly. Giving up the body does not mean immortality. Without the protection of the body, the soul becomes even more fragile, and this is the “cost” of obtaining an alternative immortality. Lu Ping’an sighed helplessly, he wanted her to die too, but definitely not now, her sixth-tier combat power was his strongest trump card. “You are a life, I have evidence.” Lu Ping’an took out the contract, the oath paper that said “those who breach the contract will lose the rights of a life.” “If you were not a life, this contract would not be effective.” “…I am a life…” The murmur continued, and the faceless silver mask conjured up a splash of water, revealing a beautiful face before disappearing again. Her self-cognition is trying to rebuild; it seems a little help is needed. “Sigh.” Lu Ping’an sighed helplessly; if he could, he really wouldn’t want to save her. “You see, the signature on my contract is ‘Life Bank’. It’s my Abnormal Ability, the conceptual creation I inherited from your god’s legacy. Its recognition is much more meaningful than that fake thing that rejected you.” He casually threw a heavy bomb, and the Contractor’s constraint against lying instantly shocked Fang Wen awake. To wake up someone in confusion, throwing a heavy piece of news is quite effective. “The reason you were rejected by the ‘Mother Goddess’ is that it’s not the real Mother Goddess at all, and its definition of life is also problematic. It just starts with Ascension and its own constructed world…” Next, he helped her find an excuse that “the mistake is not on her, but on the world.” “…As a mechanical lifeform, you cannot circulate within the world it constitutes, and you cannot be consumed by the statue of the Mother Goddess. Since it’s useless to it, it naturally repels and suppresses you… In fact, this is your advantage, you are an independent and complete individual outside of the cycle. Of course, this is just my personal guess, but it’s highly likely.” What, you think you’re not good enough? Wrong! Being different from others is your strength, not your weakness! This is a very simple and routine rhetoric, but at this time, it should work. “I’ve inherited the Life Bank of the real Mother Goddess, and it has certified you as a life. An imitation’s selfish judgment is nothing compared to that.” This is the summary; the logic chain has already been formed. Lu Ping’an has done everything he can, and now he will leave it to fate. The mechanical life-form floated in midair, silent for a long time. Eventually, when the powder was no longer peeling off, she finally stabilized. “Thank you.” A simple thank you, but with many complex emotions. She probably didn’t expect Lu Ping’an to save her. What’s more, she didn’t expect Lu Ping’an to take the initiative to reveal his “secret.” Lu Ping’an shook his head and said no more. “What’s the situation with Long Qianlan? You want me to come over and hunt him down; how did it turn out like this?” “…See for yourself.” A few minutes later, Lu Ping’an saw Long Qianlan. He also learned along the way why Fang Wen had collapsed at this time… If Fang Wen was the least suitable for this Holy Domain, then Long Qianlan was definitely the most suitable. At this moment, he had turned into a six-meter-tall “Chimera,” with a large number of magic monsters stitched onto his body, but they all had lifeless eyes, as though there was only his will. He turned himself into a “New Human.” “Since human bodies have limits and can’t bear more life force, then stitching other lives in can increase the container’s limit and consume more life force… I have to say, he’s quite creative and very much in line with the Mother Goddess cult.” Before Lu Ping’an’s eyes, the huge “Long Qianlan” swallowed a wolf pack in one bite and turned it into the driving force for his actions. Lu Ping’an understood why Fang Wen called him… If such a hacked player was not kicked out first, how would the others play later?
