Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections

Lin Yi followed the street out of the city and found that the outside was even more desolate than the inside.

Outside the city, the desolate scene was like a picture of the end of the world slowly unfolding.

The once lush and vibrant countryside is now withered and yellow. The plants seem to have been ruthlessly drained of their vitality. The leaves are curled like wrinkles, and the branches are dry like firewood. They stand quietly, but there is no longer a trace of vitality.

The shadows of the trees are stretched long and thin on the ground, like the scale of time, which makes people feel endless loneliness and desolation.

Along the road, Lin Yi's eyes were attracted by the groups of animal corpses. Those once lively lives are now only cold and hard shells.

The scattered feathers of the birds have lost their former brilliant brilliance and are scattered dully on this barren land.

These lost lives, together with the withered plants around them, outline a heartbreaking and desolate picture.

The occasional wind did not bring a fresh and pleasant breath, but a heavy and depressing atmosphere, like the wailing of the earth, hovering over this land shrouded in death.

Every gust of wind seemed to be singing a sad elegy for this lifeless land, and mourning for the lost lives.

Lin Yi walked slowly along the signs on the road, and in the middle he saw the true face of this world.

Desolation, decline, wailing, death.

Almost all the words that can be thought of can be used to describe the miserable scene of this world.

Compared with the outside world, the town he passed by before can be called a paradise on earth.

As he passed through the villages, he saw large numbers of patients leaning weakly in the shade, wailing in pain.

There were no doctors in these villages, because the doctors were not spared from the clutches of the plague and left the world early.

Only the poor who were looking forward to a miracle were left, and their eyes were full of helplessness and despair.

Even though they were seriously ill, these people who believed in the distorted Holy Father still persisted in torturing themselves.

Scythe, hammer, cross

These rusty objects, like their beliefs, were twisted and broken.

Every time they self-harmed, their already weak bodies became even more shaky.

They seemed to have become accustomed to this kind of pain, just silently enduring it, looking forward to the miracle that would never come.

At the moment when Lin Yi was about to leave the village, the mass purification technique was suddenly released from Lin Yi's hands.

[Successfully treated Susannah Dash, talent 'Redeemer activated', permanently increased 28 health points, 14 abyss power, soul strength increased by 1, current health points 8511 points, abyss power 6199 points, soul strength 50 points. 】

【Successfully treated Spencer Sandy, talent ‘Redeemer activated’, permanently increased 25 health points, 15 Abyssal Power, soul strength increased by 1, current health points 8536 points, Abyssal Power 6214 points, soul strength 51 points. 】

【Successfully treated Betsy Hazel, talent ‘Redeemer activated’, permanently increased 18 health points, 13 Abyssal Power, current health points 8783 points, Abyssal Power 6245 points, soul strength 54 points. 】

“Oh my God! Miracle! Miracle has come!”

After seeing their injuries miraculously healed, the people in this village couldn’t help but burst into deafening cheers.

They were so excited that they began to sing loudly to praise the twisted father.

Under Lin Yi’s shocked gaze, this group of patients who had just recovered actually embarked on a pilgrimage of self-torture again.

You know, the items used to torture themselves are still stained with blood full of plague.

Although Lin Yi's purification technique cured the disease in their bodies, the virus still lurks around them.

These people continued their pilgrimage so desperately, and they might be infected with the plague again soon.

"Forget it, just consider it as accumulating talent progress."

Lin Yi looked back at the villagers who were in a frenzy behind him, feeling helpless, and shook his head gently.

He could help them once, but driven by such blind faith and self-mutilation, he could not lend a hand every time.

He continued to move forward along the road and found that the villages ahead presented similar scenes: poverty, ruin, and the air was filled with the breath of death.

The most important thing is that the residents of these villages have fallen into an inexplicable state of fanaticism. Even if their lives are in danger, they do not forget to torture themselves with various items, as if only in this way can they prove their belief in the so-called "twisted father".

At this time, Lin Yi thought of a sentence on the "Heart of Miracles".

"People beg for miracles, but they don't know that miracles are the greatest tribulation."

If there were no temptation and interference from miracles, these villagers might cherish life more and try to survive.

Even if the plague still takes the lives of some people, at least it won't make them lose the meaning of life in blind pursuit and fanaticism like now.

After two hours of travel, Lin Yi finally approached the location of the silent mourning association mentioned by Hetty.

From a distance, a strong smell of blood came to his nose, which was completely different from the decayed smell of disease in the village he passed before.

Coming here, it seemed that even the air was infected by the flowing blood and stained with a strong smell of blood.

Lin Yi walked along the road and found bloodstains on the road. Due to the weather, the bloodstains had dried and adhered firmly to the ground.

Looking around, the whole land seemed to be stained with blood. This scene was shocking.

Looking from a distance, it seemed that the whole land was stained with blood.

The black and white rose in Lin Yi's hand slowly transformed into the form of a sharp sword.

When he entered the village just now, he could see a series of huge human footprints on the road. The footprints were about 45 centimeters in size. In other words, the guy who was wandering here before was at least 5 meters tall.

Lin Yi did not dare to be careless and began to explore the situation in the village carefully.

When he pushed open a door casually, he found that the room was full of bloodstains. Obviously, a fierce battle or massacre had taken place here.

The valuable items in the room seemed to have been hastily packed away, and the only thing left was a broken shrine.

Lin Yi walked over and found that the shrine seemed to have a slight reaction to Lin Yi.

[Hint: The hunter has approached the shrine of the Holy Lord. You can offer sacrifices to the shrine to restore your status. ]

"Save point?"

When Lin Yi saw the hint of Samsara Paradise, this was his first reaction.

Lin Yi took out an incense burner and three incense sticks from his pocket. These were originally ritual items used to worship the goddess of luck. Unexpectedly, they could still be used in this strange place.

As the smoke rose, Lin Yi could clearly sense that the dilapidated shrine in front of him seemed to have undergone a very subtle change.

The previous statue gave people a sense of indifference and emotionlessness like a sculpture, but at this moment, it exuded a solemn and sacred atmosphere.

The next moment, Lin Yi felt a strange power appear in his body.

Under the influence of this power, Lin Yi's body instantly recovered to its peak.

Even the power of the abyss consumed by healing the villagers before was restored.

"It's really a save point, that's good, so I should be able to use less consumables."

Lin Yi clapped his hands, then left the room and continued to explore.

Lin Yi continued to move forward, and after a few steps, a stone forest came into view.

The stone pillars were scattered and varied in shape. The sun shone through the stone pillars with difficulty, but it was difficult to reach every corner, and mottled shadows were cast on the ground.

The stone forest was dead silent, and dense corpses covered every inch of the stone forest. They piled up like a mountain, but they were silent, like a grand party without sound.

These corpses were dressed in all kinds of clothes, some were gorgeous and rich, with gold embroidery edges shining, showing their former prominent status; some were dressed in coarse cloth, ragged, recording their ordinary and difficult lives.

Now they are all cold and have lost the color of life, becoming indistinguishable.

Surprisingly, there were no signs of pain on the faces of these corpses. Their expressions were very calm, as if they were sleeping in a sweet dream.

In the distance, a group of vultures perched on dead branches. They peeked at everything in the stone forest and stared closely at Lin Yi who walked into the stone forest, as if waiting for something.

Lin Yi squatted down and carefully examined the corpses on the ground. What surprised Lin Yi was that there were no livor mortis on the bodies of these corpses.

Usually, after a period of death, dark red patches will form on the surface of the body due to the cessation of blood circulation, which is the so-called livor mortis.

What confused Lin Yi even more was that the blood of these corpses had been drained, which meant that they should have been dead for far more than 24 hours.

But strangely, except for the slightly pale skin color, these corpses looked like normal people, without any other typical characteristics that corpses should have.

Lin Yi used the power of the abyss to explore the internal situation of a corpse.

He found that the corpse contained a familiar power, which was exactly the same as the power he felt when he worshipped the shrine of the Holy Father of Truth.

Lin Yi tried to wipe out the divine power in this body. Almost in the next second, the corpse in front of him quickly decayed in Lin Yi's hands, and then turned into a dry skeleton, and then shattered in the strong wind.

"The power of miracle?"

Looking at the bone powder in the palm of his hand, Lin Yi stood up. In front of Lin Yi, several piles of tall corpses blocked Lin Yi's sight. In his ears, Lin Yi faintly heard a sound of chains being dragged, and the next second, the sound of chains being dragged stopped.

Suddenly, Lin Yi could feel that someone had locked his breath.

Lin Yi did not dare to be careless and retreated quickly.

At the moment when Lin Yi retreated, the corpse mountain in front of Lin Yi was instantly smashed by a huge figure.

Under the violent impact of the figure, the surrounding corpses fell from the sky like flowers scattered by the goddess.

But because of the miracle of the Holy Father of Truth, these corpses did not appear to be damaged at all.

The figure stood tall like an iron tower, more than five meters tall, and the heavy helmet covered his face tightly, making it impossible to see his true appearance.

Lin Yi could clearly feel a sharp gaze, locking him tightly like an iron lock.

The giant held an extremely large candlestick in his hand, with three thick and solid candles burning on it.

The candlestick had been burned red and hot by the flames, but the giant seemed to completely ignore the pain caused by the burning.

Only a thick and wide scarf was tied around his chest, fluttering gently in the wind.

Lin Yi noticed that the giant's body was covered with crisscrossing scars, most of which would undoubtedly be fatal to ordinary people.

"Sinner, it is not the sun that rises here, but your sins."

The giant in front of him finally spoke slowly after seeing Lin Yi.

His identity is a guardian. Because this world is extremely special, painful miracles may appear randomly on any corpse.

In order to ensure that the corpses of these silent fellows will not trigger uncontrollable miracles, the Holy See specially dispatched elite members of the Templar Army to transform them through powerful divine arts, making them cold killing machines to guard these corpses.

This guardian is a line of defense arranged by the Holy See here.

His existence is not only to prevent the occurrence of painful miracles, but also to maintain the authority and order of the Holy See.

…

"Repent, sinner." The guardian roared.

The soil under his feet began to sag violently, and then there was a loud bang, and the guardian rolled over Lin Yi like a tank.

Although the guardian's charge speed was extremely fast, in Lin Yi's eyes, such a speed was far from enough to pose a threat.

When he was about to approach Lin Yi, the guardian raised the candlestick in his hand and smashed it hard at Lin Yi.

Boom!

Lin Yi took two steps back, and the candlestick barely scraped past Lin Yi's head before smashing down.

This was extremely dangerous, as the candlestick almost scraped past Lin Yi's bangs, missing by a hair's breadth.

The ground within ten meters of the surrounding area was lifted up, plant roots splashed everywhere, and the fresh smell of soil instantly filled the air.

However, Lin Yi's skill level had at least reached the master level LV40, and his sense of distance control was not comparable to that of the guardian.

Lin Yi jumped lightly and easily avoided the shock wave, and then stepped firmly on the wrist of the guardian holding the candlestick.

The guardian had never expected that his attack would be so easily avoided by Lin Yi.

Just as he tried to raise the candlestick again, the sword blade suddenly pierced his right wrist.

As the sword blade pierced in, the aura of the guardian suddenly became violent and violent, as if a long-suppressed force had suddenly been released.

"Sinner, you deserve to die!"

For the guardian, the divine mark on his body is not only a symbol of power, but also a sign of the favor of the gods.

Lin Yi's behavior at this moment is undoubtedly challenging the supreme authority of the gods and blaspheming the supreme dignity of the gods.

This kind of offense is absolutely intolerable for the extremely pious guardian.

"Roar!"

The guardian roared loudly, and the sound waves spread out layer by layer, causing Lin Yi's eardrums to feel a sharp pain.

At this moment, Lin Yi keenly noticed that the strength of the arm under his feet increased significantly.

The guardian suddenly pulled up the candlestick on the ground and swept it towards Lin Yi's chest.

Lin Yi quickly raised his wrist and blocked the heavy blow with his long sword.

With a sizzling sound, the candlestick and the sword blade rubbed violently, making a harsh sound, and sparks flew like fireworks.

Under Lin Yi's guidance, the candlestick slid to the ground along the sword blade.

The candlestick slid sideways, and Lin Yi quickly turned his body to avoid the attack of the candlestick.

The candlestick hit the ground heavily, and with a loud bang, a crack in the ground spread to his back with a devastating force.

Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Lin Yi aimed at the connection between the candlestick handle and the candlestick in front, and hit the target accurately with a precise thrust.

With a slight cracking sound, Lin Yi's sword tip had successfully pierced into the connection of the candlestick.

Seeing this scene, the guardian's pupils shrank suddenly.

The candlestick in his hand was made of special metal and blessed by the Inquisition. It had never been damaged in the fierce battle against pagans.

Seeing that there was a problem with the candlestick, the guardian immediately let go, then jumped into the sky and fell straight towards Lin Yi.

Lin Yi raised his right hand, and then a dark halo appeared in front of him. After the halo appeared, the guardian's falling body stopped instantly and was then knocked out.

Lin Yi would not miss this opportunity. With a sound of breaking through the air, Lin Yi's figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

Almost instantly, Lin Yi appeared beside the guardian who was about to fall to the ground.

In Lin Yi's eyes, the guardian's left wrist, right ankle, left ankle and a huge white spot on a certain position on the chest were clearly visible.

Before, the guardian's right wrist also had such a white spot, but it had been pierced by Lin Yi.

Now, the remaining four divine art marks were also completely exposed to Lin Yi's vision, providing a clear target for his next move.
