The absurd game of a performance artist

Chapter 291 The Secret of the Soul
Stretching out his hand towards the [Campfire], Quicksand flashed out a thought, which would prompt him to increase his level.

However, unlike before, this time, it took a long time before there was a response from the flames.

【Consecrate 8000 souls, your life will be reforged】

8000 souls?

Quicksand froze for a moment.

He didn't expect that he would need so many souls to upgrade his life source!

You know, before he rose from level five to level six, he only used 2000 souls!

Quicksand thought about it carefully, maybe it was because his own life source had been burned to ashes, and after the fusion and rebirth of [humanity], something happened?
So without thinking too much, Quicksand chose to upgrade without hesitation when the soul in hand was at a time of luxury after a big suck.

Immediately, endless souls poured into the flames, turning into a steady stream of life force into the quicksand body.

After the forging of flame recasting the source of life continued for a while, Quicksand finally felt that his life level had been improved again.

However, before he felt the power of ascension, a burning feeling of burning out burst out from the source of life again!

Quicksand was secretly surprised!
After I reshaped the source of life again, the originally suppressed image of the [sun] actually started to move again!

Seeing that the newly reshaped source of life was about to fall in self-destruction, Quicksand suddenly understood something!
【human nature】!
He needs to use the power of [human nature] to reconcile yin and yang, and neutralize the image of the [sun] hidden in the soul!
The quicksand that has just plundered a large amount of [humanity] from the bodies of a group of priests no longer hesitates, and immediately integrates it into the source of life!
After a large amount of black [humanity] submerged into the soul, the source of life that was about to be burned by the quicksand really stabilized, and no longer exudes the image of destruction.

Taking a long breath, Liusha understands that from now on, he will need to integrate his [humanity] to improve his level.

Sensing the soul in the body, Quicksand raised the level again.

The souls needed this time are also extraordinarily large, four times as much as before from level six to level seven - a total of 14000 souls.

Fortunately, there are enough souls in Quicksand. The souls collected by the priests of the Baijiao through despicable methods have all become the capital for his advancement at this moment.

After a long period of life reforging, Quicksand really sensed the self-destructive breath of the source of life in his body again.

This time, without waiting for the source of life in the body to burn, the quicksand injected all the [human nature].

And this time he kept an eye on it, and compared it with the amount of [Humanity] consumed last time.

After careful calculation, he found that the amount of [humanity] consumed from level five to level six was 163, while the amount of [human form] consumed from level six to level seven was 286.

After some thought, Quicksand found that this amount seemed to be related to the amount of [soul] needed to forge the source of life.

Almost exactly one 49th of the [soul] used to forge life?

He somehow felt that there seemed to be a mysterious meaning behind this subtle number, but he couldn't comprehend this mysterious artistic conception at this time.

From this number, the only thing he can know now is the amount of [Humanity] he needs to prepare for the next upgrade.

449...

Quicksand estimated this number.

Because he knew that he would need about 22000 souls to upgrade from level seven to level eight.

Looking at the [Campfire] in front of him, Liusha smiled wryly.

He still has more than 3 souls in his body, but the problem is that the [humanity] in him is not enough!

Although there are some [humanities] in these clergymen, they are far from being as numerous as souls. Even the Great Hierarch Dema has only less than one hundred.

Quicksand frowned. It stands to reason that they have persecuted so many undead people. The [Humanity] collected from them should not be so rare, but where did the missing [Humanity] go?
While Quicksand was thinking hard, Spider also encountered a problem.

After this crucial victory, the surrounding undead warriors used [Campfire] to reforge their own life source and upgrade.

But before the spider took refuge in quicksand, with his unscrupulous and exquisite style, he had already accumulated a large amount of souls.

In the looting of the Baijiao this time, they have gained a lot, and they already have more than 4 souls in their hands.

But when he continued to touch the flame in an attempt to elevate the source of life to a higher level, the flame did not respond to his thoughts.

Levels after the tenth level are like a world shrouded in fog, completely invisible.

What's happening here?
Is level ten the upper limit?
The spider doesn't believe this. Although the tenth level can already make ordinary people with only brute strength have the strength of one against ten, it is far from the upper limit of the source of life.

He once clearly felt the superhuman aura beyond the tenth level in those bishops and sin-eater elites.

In desperation, the spider had no choice but to condescend to ask Apollo beside him for advice on breaking through the upper limit of the source of life.

"Ahem, that...Apollo military commander, as a former member of the Baijiao, and such a great researcher, you must have done some research on the content of the improvement of the origin of life after the tenth level, right? Excuse me. , how should I continue to increase the level?"

I saw Apollo's eyes were deep, and he seemed to have infinite wisdom ups and downs.

"Well... If you want to continue to break through on the basis of level ten, the ordinary [campfire] alone can no longer meet the flame intensity required for forging life. You must use the [fire injection secret method] to get a higher intensity flame, and Just an ordinary soul can't change the source of life, it needs to be mixed with some special souls to make the source of life undergo a qualitative change!"

At this moment, the spider suddenly realized that although he has an extremely abundant soul in his body, he is like a craftsman who has no materials but no blueprints. He only has flames and souls, but no secrets and special souls. He cannot continue to advance beyond the tenth level. of the realm!

Mystery...special soul...

The spider blinked and suddenly thought of something.

According to Apollo's talk of only half of the piss, the other party may not only know a name.

The spider continued to inquire.

"So...Apollo military commander, with your wisdom, you should know about the secret technique, right?"

Hearing the other party's flattery, Apollo naturally knew that the other party wanted something from him.

But he will eat this set!

I saw Apollo triumphantly taking out a somewhat scorched scroll from his arms, and smiled.

"To be honest, I really didn't know anything about the secret technique just now, but it's different now. These guys will always carry the most important things with them, especially when the old nest is on fire and fleeing for their lives... Closer to home, I have already I have studied the secret method of fire injection, but it is not a big deal, inject enough [human nature] into the flame to increase the intensity of the flame, this is the mystery of the secret method of fire injection!"

Injecting 【Humanity】increases the intensity of the flame...

Although he was a little confused about the principle of the secret method of fire injection, the spider didn't study it carefully, so he continued to ask.

"Then... what is the special soul?"

Apollo revealed a golden-red soul from his hand.

This strand of soul looks like a flame. Compared with ordinary souls, you can find obvious differences just by looking at the appearance!

After showing this strange and miraculous soul, Apollo spoke to the spider.

"Special souls are powerful souls that are essentially different from ordinary souls. For example, the people of the Baijiao use... the souls of gods! According to the level of their positions, they can be divided into different sizes of souls, and get A tiny bit of [divine] power..."

Hearing this, Quicksand, who had been listening silently for a long time, was suddenly startled. These people from the Baijiao could actually obtain the soul of God? !
Seeing the surprised expression of Liusha who stood aside and listened for a long time as if nothing had happened, Apollo explained to Liusha indifferently.

"Okay, boss, you don't need to show that expression. Although these things are called gods, they are not that great. Think carefully about the beasts we encountered in the last world. Didn't you wipe out a bunch of them? They may be similar existences!"

Quicksand touched his nose, and the other party obviously misunderstood him.

As for [God], which is flooding the streets, Quicksand has long since heard calluses in his ears, and has no sense of awe.

What surprised him was that these so-called "gods" were willing to share their souls with the mortals below.

The animal gods he met in the elf world were definitely not so generous.

At most, they will use their own power to create a few secondary gods to help them manage their territory and manifest themselves in front of people, so that they can consolidate theocratic power and harvest faith.

Although this ray of spirit seems very small, but so many bishop priests entrusted one by one, I am afraid that it is not a small loss.

Is this kind of behavior really only for those devout believers in Zhuosheng?

Standing in front of the 【Campfire】, Quicksand pondered for a long time.

Seeing Apollo's flaming soul, the spider thought about it carefully, and seemed to think of something, and unexpectedly revealed a flame-like soul from the bandage-like silk thread!
This ray of spirit was mixed in the soul of the bishop who was killed by him, and it came unknowingly.

In order to test whether it can really upgrade, the spider injects the [humanity] in its body into the [campfire].

With the continuous injection of [Humanity], the [Quality] of the flame gradually changed.

The originally hot and light firelight gradually became thicker and deeper, changing from the original orange red to a dull purple red.

The flame without substance gradually seemed to have an entity, exuding a strange aura.

Stretching out his hand, the spider took a deep breath, sent out the idea of ​​uplifting his life source, and waited for the response of the flame.

Minutes and seconds passed, and there was a dark and deep echo from the flames.

【If you want to reforge your life, please donate a special soul】

The spider quietly handed out the soul in its hand.

Then there was a burst of probing power from the flames flowing between the soul and the spider, and a reply came shortly afterwards.

【Worship 31586 soul and this special soul, your life will be reforged】

This strange number aroused the spider's curiosity.

In the past, the numbers were all neat integers, but this time there are a lot of fractions?
So the spider was not in a hurry to upgrade, but asked Apollo again.

"You also have a divine soul that can be upgraded. Let's see how many souls you need to upgrade."

Without rejecting the spider's request, Apollo took out his soul and pointed his consciousness towards the flame.

Then Apollo spread his hands together.

"Uh...uh...uh...ah, it asked me for 34152's soul."

Using different special souls to reforge the source of life, the number of souls required is indeed different!
The spider glanced at the wisp of spirit in Apollo's hand, and it seemed to be bigger than the one in his own hand.

It seems that because of this reason, the number of souls needed to forge the source of life is less.

During the dialogue between the two, Liusha knew that after the tenth level, if he wanted to continue to improve his life essence, he needed the help of other special souls.

At this moment, in his hands, there happened to be a ray of spirit, and it was a little bigger than the spirit in the hands of Spider and Apollo. It was the spirit obtained from Archbishop Made.

It's just that in his induction, this divine soul carried a fiery power, which made him a little suspicious.

I have already been troubled enough by the image of the sun, if I integrate into this ray of spirit again, I am afraid there will be no good results.

Suddenly, Quicksand had a weird idea.

When the power of the sun launched the self-destruction state before, he had been using the power of the sun fire to integrate humanity into his own life source, and since then he has possessed a dark and profound power.

So... Can [Human Nature] also be regarded as a special soul that enhances the origin of life? !
Putting this treacherous thought in his heart, Quicksand glanced at Apollo and the spider.

I saw that the spider that was originally planning to upgrade didn't move, but Apollo went straight up.

After a while of forging, Apollo burst out with a more powerful light than any previous upgrade.

He glanced at his [Level].

It shows Level [-], but it seems to be leaning towards Level [-].

After Apollo completed the upgrade, he glanced at Spider Road.

"What's the matter, aren't you going to upgrade?"

The spider sensed the light and fire emanating from Apollo, and nodded.

"Well, I don't want to use this to improve my origin for the time being. Anyway, there is no rule that a special soul must be a divine soul, right? I feel that this thing is not compatible with me..."

Apollo thought for a while, and stretched out his hand directly.

"Okay, bring it!"

The spider was speechless, he didn't expect the other party to be so direct.

Although I don't plan to use this spirit for the time being, maybe keeping it in my hand might have other uses in the future?

Seeing the spider's faltering, Apollo laughed and said nothing, but Quicksand directly threw the soul in his hand to Apollo.

This ray of spirit is bigger than the ones in their hands, and it seems that it is more than enough to rise to the twelfth level.

Apollo didn't hesitate to take it directly into his pocket. He had already studied it, and the burning power contained in the soul was exactly what he needed, and it was very in line with his development direction with reference to quicksand.

While the three of them were studying life reforging, the undead men under Quicksand were frantically collecting things from Baijiao.

While much was destroyed by the fire, much was still pulled out.

Those heavy armor equipment and some gold, silver and jewelry were taken out of the sea of ​​fire in piles.

The scale of the Cabal Cathedral is completely higher than that of Disraeli, and the inventory inside is naturally not comparable there.

All kinds of rings are dazzling.

Each of these rings has its own function.

[Ring of Slowness] [Ring of Firmness] [Ring of Calmness] [Ring of Strength]...

These rings were distributed by Quicksand to all kinds of people in need. Although it was just a few mosquito leg upgrades, it was better than nothing.

Before leaving, Apollo revealed the mystery of faith to Quicksand!
"Is it actually like this? As long as you donate your soul, you can improve your faith?!"

"Yes, as long as you sacrifice more things to the fire, the higher your faith will be!"

Hearing Apollo's explanation, Liusha showed a surprised expression.

Sure enough, belief is something that comes from recharging!
What prayer?What piety?nonsense!

It's a naked transaction.

In addition to the soul can be sacrificed to fire, [Humanity] can also be sacrificed to fire!
Moreover, the faith bonus obtained by sacrificing [human nature] is significantly higher than that of the soul.

Quicksand also came to a sudden, no wonder so many [humanity] disappeared, it turned out that they were sacrificed by these people to recharge their faith!
From inside the cathedral, Apollo found some [miracle] meta-codes.

Most of these [miracles] are healing recovery and the ability to increase resistance buffs.

Now that he has figured out the principle, Quicksand also intends to get some genuine clergymen out.

Just like eating bread, good people have the strength to do good things, and bad people have the strength to do bad things. Everything has its two sides.

Although the Baijiao is a place where priests gather, this power itself can be used, mainly because of the people who use it.

And so the training of priests began.

The story of "Miracle" is very long, and it cannot be memorized by pure brain power, but also by the power of fire.

This quicksand feels like a splitting headache, and I have no interest in understanding it.

On the contrary, Bazahei, who was persevering, managed to write down a few [miracles].

It's just that the priest holding the devil's sledgehammer feels a strange sense of disobedience...

After a while of screening, a few instant blasphemers appeared in the quicksand team.

This fully proves that as long as you donate your [soul] and [humanity], anyone can become such a high-sounding person.

At the dawn of dawn, the expeditionary force of more than 100 people left Cabal and began their journey across Astra...
