Ten minutes ago.

the other side.

The artificial light source was almost extinguished, and in the darkness, there was an endless patch of sand and dust, with an abrupt black pillar sitting at the end.

This is not just dust, to be precise, it is the powder that has been compressed and ground by human beings, accumulated over the years and piled up like this.

Shortly after the game started, approximately 10,000 players died here.

The black pillar that almost reaches the sky has the extremely terrifying petrification ability. It blooms with light from time to time, covering the surrounding area. All creatures that are illuminated by the light will be irreversibly petrified.

Some players woke up from the sand as the dead. However, as soon as they woke up, they encountered the light of the black pillar and were quickly petrified, failing to succeed.

Now, the Black Pillar has just fallen silent, so these players can survive for a while.

"Where to run?"

"With my eyesight, I can at most see the scene near the black pillar. I don't know what is behind it."

Several players ran all the way and discussed how to pass the level.

There are unbreakable walls to their left, right and behind. If they want to get out of the situation, they can only break through the black pillar and get on the right track of the game as soon as possible.

If they don't come up with any ideas, they will be doomed once the black pillar shines.

"Anyway, the black pillar should be classified as weird. If we stack the highest defense buff, it might be useful."

"good."

"There is nothing we can do."

Several players discussed cooperation, but one player didn't speak to anyone from beginning to end, and moved forward in silence all the way.

Click, sure enough, the black pillar emits a strong light after a second.

They just rushed to the black pillar and would undoubtedly suffer the strongest petrification attack.

"Activate quickly!" They made a prompt decision and activated their defensive skills in an instant, setting up countless layers of defensive barriers to resist the light of the black pillar.

However, the light of the black pillar was not blocked at all, but instead shone brighter, petrifying those people without any suspense.

In contrast, the player who had been silent seemed not to be affected at all, passing directly through the black pillar and crossing the desert in front of him at great speed.

He is Oran. He is extraordinarily calm now. His basic statistics are different from those in the [Zombie Rising] stage. His fastest speed can even be close to the speed of light. Under the protection of the "right foot of the Lord God", he can create a certain amount of space isolation and be immune to the outside world. Various attacks.

This was the reason why he was able to ignore the light of the black pillar just now.

"There are too many death mechanisms." Weirdness may be more dangerous than players.

Oran glanced at his arm as he thought about it.

This game is so bizarre that players seem to be resurrected from various corpses, including ashes.

Oran saw that his arm seemed to be broken, with porcelain-like spider patterns and a sand-like substance flowing out of the cracks.

In this regard, Oran thinks so. The corpse is accompanied by the state after death, showing the cause of its death. This initial state cannot be changed in any way and can only exist like this. Oran estimates that the cause of death of the corpse will also be his own cause of death. In other words, the cause of death of the player's corpse will be the player's weakness.

"Death and corruption... In other words, does this game still have a time limit? If you don't win within a certain time, the body will decay and die passively."

And if different players die in different ways, it is very likely that some players will rot early, and a certain amount of luck is required to start the game correctly.

Even if it turns into a corpse, it also has a countdown timer, which is even worse than a zombie. It is an unprecedented mechanism.

Olan was not sure whether he was one of those with early decay, but it was obviously not the time to think about this issue now.

Suddenly, the horrific erosion that broke out in Luoming District also affected his Moyu District.

Although he didn't know what happened, Oran felt an extremely powerful intimidation from that direction. There was no doubt that there was a huge monster on the opposite side, and he was by no means an object that could be provoked at will.

However, Olan's eyes changed slightly, and he thought to himself, why did he feel so close to that direction and that horror.

He paused, and finally chose to go in the opposite direction and quickly escape from the desert.

Also ten minutes ago.

In the first experimental base of Zhengxin District, in Room 406, high-rise building of the Sixth Research Institute, a water tank suddenly burst and alchemical liquid rolled out.

Immediately afterwards, a human body jumped out. She landed barefoot on the ground, grabbed a white robe and put it on her body, and was about to walk. When she looked up, she saw a huge Buddha statue blocking her.

It sits on a rosette, with countless arms blooming behind it, and its body is exuding golden brilliance. Its eyes are half-squinted, as if it is pitying all living beings.

If you look closely, you will see that it is about ten meters tall, with its head almost touching the ceiling.

There is no doubt that it is alive. Zhou Moli slowly raised her head and met the "eyesight" of the Buddha statue.

"You, Maitreya Buddha?" She called out a Buddha's name casually, but it was obviously wrong.

This scene was included in the live broadcast, and some gods were attracted by it.

Zhou Moli is a player under the Void God Sect. Not only is she powerful, but there are also rumors that she is closely related to the development of [God War].

Therefore, most beings believed that Zhou Moli would win at least one game.

And this is why [Starting from Death and Corruption] has gathered so many powerful players. Most of them are sent to target Zhou Moli and others.

Compared to Tian Ji's horse race, most of the gods are obviously more looking forward to seeing the fight between the strong. They also have a strong heart and don't like small cleverness.

Seeing Zhou Moli confronting the Buddha statue, the Western God couldn't help but say: "That's not Buddha, it's weird."

"It swallowed all the other weirds in the experimental base, and all the players who resurrected from the corpses were killed by it."

"It's not an ordinary weird, but a beast that kills happily. If you are deceived by its appearance, it's over. It likes to bite and kill the other party in an instant when the creature worships or admires it. Its temperament is very bad."

However, Zhou Moli approached the Buddha statue. Although it was impossible to see what she was thinking, she seemed to have no defense and was not wary of the Buddha statue.

"Maybe she lacks the ability to perceive." The Eastern God saw her walking over as if she was going to die, and couldn't help but sigh.

Perception, divine perception. This is a very important ability. It is not necessarily a talent, but can also be acquired through acquired training. Among countless abilities, this ability can be said to be the closest to the gods.

It manifests itself as discernment, that is, the ability to distinguish between different beings such as gods, demons, and humans. Although it sounds like just a cognitive ability and not very useful, it is not.

There have been countless similar myths about this discernment in the world.

Their basic narrative process is that gods and Buddhas walk in the world, and when they hear humans praying to them, they appear around the human being, play some roles, and give the human being a test.

For example, wearing tattered clothes, entering the human mansion to ask for extra food, etc. There are many specific ways, and in general, they are not good things. They deliberately observe the choices of a certain human in the "daily" state, and humans often cannot recognize their identities and fall into the dilemma they give them, with a dilemma between morality and selfishness.

This kind of thing is not only in the world, but also often happens during cultivation. They often appear in the form of abyss, monsters, etc. in the cultivation of some creatures, oppressing the practitioners in various ways and forcing the practitioners into desperate situations. Practitioners usually awaken at a very late stage, but people with high discernment can detect it at the beginning.

Of course, this is only one aspect.

The importance of discernment is also reflected in another aspect, which is also something that often happens on the road of cultivation. Abyssal beings often show themselves to people, play the role of gods and Buddhas, and then confuse them to go the wrong way. Once a practitioner cannot identify, he will really be misled.

In terms of probability, the confusion of abyssal beings and monsters is indeed the direct reason for the failure of more than half of the practitioners to practice. Of course, the fundamental reason is the practitioners themselves. Cultivation is not easy, only the strong can make oneself strong.

In short, awareness, that is, the ability to discern extraordinary beings, is an ability that practitioners must desire, even those who have become gods. Because even gods are still practitioners in the final analysis. There are heavens beyond heaven. If you want to ensure eternity, basically any existence needs to improve its level step by step.

Those creatures who can recognize gods at a glance will be admired by even divine beings.

However, now, Zhou Moli, who is approaching the Devouring Beast step by step, seems to be a vivid example of this lack of ability.

However, the next second, she changed the outside world's view.

After Zhou Moli closed the distance, she used the first-order sealing technique [Qing Shi Yu] without warning. It seemed as if a sudden rain fell from the ceiling, covering the Devourer.

The Devourer failed to react and was subdued by the sealing technique in an instant. It was immediately destroyed and turned into countless black light particles.

"This player can instantly release the first sequence. Her race is... half human and half innate holy spirit?"

Some divine beings could not see through her level.

Next, Zhou Moli collected all kinds of strange corpses and player corpses along the way. She did nothing else but throw them into her space as soon as she found them. It seemed that she was just collecting waste. Her movements were very skillful. In a blink of an eye, she saw that she collected nearly a thousand corpses.

"Is she going to build a corpse army?" The abyss existence in the west frowned at the sight.

"So what? The struggle between one's own strength and external resources is the key point of this game at present. Now, all players do this." Youshen answered.

In an absolutely rational state, the actions taken by players are highly consistent, so there will inevitably be a situation, that is, the absolute strength pyramid. How the situation will develop and what the ending will be, the divine beings present are also quite interested.

At this time, Zhou Moli also noticed the horrible changes in Luoming District.

She looked through the window and looked far away at the non-existent horizon of the underground world, frowning.

"That is... what kind of power." She muttered to herself.

At this time, the live broadcast screen changed and was broadcast to the first experimental base in Luoming District.

The God of Knowledge paid attention to the live broadcast at the first time, but he did not see the human figure and felt regretful.

Player Gao Li and the human figure separated, so there was no figure of Him in the live broadcast camera, and he kept following the player Gao Li, showing the internal passage of the first experimental base in Luoming District.

NPC Wu Tao was leading the player Gao Li. I don’t know what happened in the middle. They are now particularly friendly, not like the relationship between NPC and player at all.

Wu Tao was very friendly to Gao Li and took the initiative to introduce the things about the Luoming District base.

Gao Li looked around, and when he saw Wu Tao, he would occasionally give a look that said, "You're so brave! How dare you just now?"

Of course, in general, they get along quite well.

"Where did that SSS-level weirdo go?" A god from the outside world couldn't help asking.

"Compared to this, by the way... have you noticed?"

A god who was only one level lower than the God of Knowledge spoke. His Dharma name was Zhenyan, and humans usually called him Zhenyan God.

"There is another mastermind behind the [God War], this is an indisputable fact, right?" Zhenyan God said directly.

His words set off an uproar.

"How is this possible?"

"What mastermind?"

"Zhenyan God, what do you mean!"

Divine beings continued to doubt, and the heavens were in a panic.

"After [Cooking] and [Stone Evolution], [From Death and Corruption] also had an abnormal NPC. Do you think it's a coincidence?"

"Let's not talk about the first two. The one who appeared in [From Death and Corruption] is an abnormal existence certified by the game rules. Moreover, the time of his appearance is just after the NPC with an astronomical return rate in [Stone Evolution] disappeared. Is this a coincidence? Impossible."

The True Word God directly revealed.

The God of Nothingness and the God of Knowledge both cast their eyes on him, but they said nothing.

"Now that you put it that way, it seems to be true."

"Although it's not enough to make a conclusion, but..."

The lower-level divine beings looked at each other with surprised expressions.

"It is reasonable to infer that a high-level existence intervened in [Cooking], [Stone Evolution], and now [From Death and Corruption]." The True Word God said.

"But what is His purpose?"

"Is He a dead god like us? He also wants to fight for the opportunity to be resurrected, so he intervened in the [God War]?"

"Impossible, since He can intervene in the [God War], His strength must be above that of the white form, or in other words, His status and authority, and since He is higher than that white form, He cannot need the power of the white form to be resurrected."

"Indeed."

"Then...what is His purpose?"

The topic came back, but after thinking about it, most of the divine beings and the abyss beings were silent.

They really couldn't think of a possible reason.

At this time, the God of the East raised a question, "Is He related to the Lord God?"

"In [Stone Evolution], there appeared an existence suspected of the Lord God's power. Garuda, based on your previous tone, you know which power He is." The God of Truth turned around and directly called out to Garuda, who was higher in status than Him.

"That's the spine of the Lord God," Garuda said calmly, "So what if you know it."

"What's the relationship between the Lord God's power and the status of the White Form?" The God of Truth asked again.

Garuda didn't answer, as if he didn't hear it.

The God of Truth frowned and turned to look at the God of Knowledge.

The God of Knowledge was silent. He was always talkative, but he didn't participate in the discussion. It was obvious that he had seen something a long time ago.

"Impossible... at most it's a projection... or residual visualization." The God of Knowledge said silently.

"He didn't interfere with the game too much, right? Why do you worry so much?" Garuda suddenly spoke again.

"Indeed, if the three are indeed the same existence, then as it seems now, He should come to the game to find something, and it shouldn't affect the [God War] itself." The God of Truth nodded when he heard it.

"No? You are too optimistic. If the one who just descended, he did not accept the seal, and his true body died, the game would be interrupted! He is too threatening, and his existence itself is an impact on the [God War]!" The Abyss Supreme was very excited.

"After saying so much, what are you going to do?" Garuda cast his eyes, his dark green pupils like stars, making the low-level beings tremble with fear.

The Abyss Supreme glared at Garuda and said, "He is in the game, we can't interfere."

"So, we can only watch." Garuda's tone was slightly sarcastic.

Including the Abyss Supreme, a group of Abyss beings were mad.

"Damn it!"

"There will always be a way!"

As they muttered, the black air around them became heavier.

However, the next second, Garuda helped them say, "There is indeed a possibility."

The Abyss Supreme was stunned and asked suspiciously, "What?"

At the same time, many eyes were focused on Garuda.

Garuda was neither happy nor sad, and said calmly: "Since He has entered the game, He must be restricted by the rules of the game, that is, the players in the game can deal with Him."

"What!" Not only the Abyss, but even the gods were surprised, "Players... You actually want players to deal with Him?!"

"No, it's not impossible. In the game [From Death and Corruption], there are indeed many super-class players among super-class players. If it is them, they may really be able to touch Him." The God of Truth was surprised.

"Are you serious? His status is higher than [God War] itself, how could it be possible..."

"Maybe," Garuda said firmly, and then said: "Don't underestimate this generation of players."

"You must be kidding. They may not even be able to overcome the game environment, so how can they realize the mastermind behind all the games! This is not an intelligence problem. Even if we are in the game, it is impossible to deduce this situation out of nothing at the beginning. At most, they will only think that He is an extremely powerful weird and should not be easily provoked."

After repeated setbacks, the Abyss Supreme seemed a little frustrated and unwilling to believe in possibilities beyond cognition.

Garuda glanced at the Supreme of the Abyss, smiled in an ambiguous way, and said, "Just watch."

The God of Knowledge remained silent, because He found that Garuda had obviously planned it in advance. Before [God War] started, Garuda seemed to pay special attention to [Starting from Death and Corruption], and later invested players there only.

"Did Garuda set up a trap in [Starting from Death and Corruption] in advance?" The God of Knowledge felt a little cold when he thought of this possibility.

At the same time, in the picture, Wu Tao contacted almost all the senior executives of Luoming District.

The senior executives of Luoming District appeared on the table of the conference room in the form of projection. There were a total of 40 to 50 people, and one-third of them did not attend the meeting.

Gao Li stood beside Wu Tao, urging Wu Tao to speak with his eyes.

Wu Tao first glanced at the senior executives, and then said: "Everyone, you must listen to me calmly for what I will say next."

As he said that, Wu Tao took a deep breath and said very solemnly.

"I, I think I got a weird SSS-level cooperation!"

When the senior executives heard this, some of them fell back in shock, and some jumped up directly, their faces turned pale, as if they had seen a ghost.

A few seconds of dead silence, and then there was a flood of questions.

"What, are you serious?"

"Cooperation? How is this possible? Dr. Wu Tao, are you finally crazy?"

"It was you who did that just now, it was so scary, you didn't open the seal without permission, did you?"

"Damn, the world was almost destroyed because of you! I knew I shouldn't let you, an old lunatic, be in charge of the first experimental base!"

The senior executives were all furious, arguing, and it was impossible to hear who was talking about what.

"It's unbelievable, but you said cooperation... Then may I ask, where is the other party now? Can you ask Him to come out and confirm it?"

As soon as this proposal came out, the senior executives suddenly became quiet, and their eyes immediately focused on Wu Tao.

Wu Tao widened his eyes, almost doubting his ears, and almost shouted: You are braver than me!

"Or... you go find Him?" the man who suggested it said again.

Wu Tao was stunned.
