Infinite Begins with Giants

Chapter 1084 "Sucking" of the world, mission change
High in the sky, a blue meteor and a blue rainbow fell side by side, and soon reached a distance of 50 kilometers from the surface.

It's just that the closer to the surface, the more Ren felt an invisible suppression.

The thick, deep, and mysterious sense of oppression comes from all directions, as if it is everywhere, imprisoning certain life forms living on this planet.

Rennes' domain - "Sea of ​​Stars and Lights" has been squeezed and shrunk by one-third, and it is still shrinking.

At the same time, he also felt that it would be more difficult to destroy the mountains and the earth, and to cut through the void than in space.

"Something's wrong."

Ren frowned, and said, "I didn't feel this kind of suppression before. I flew high into the sky, and I didn't feel like I was unshackled."

This planet is transformed from the head of a sixth-order peak existence after the fall, so it is normal to be a little special.

He reckoned that even if Mr. Gai was here, he wouldn't be able to destroy the Spirit Steam World.

Because the nature of this planet is really unusual, both in terms of size and strength, it is far beyond ordinary planets, and it is definitely not something that Mr. Gai's "big light wheel" can penetrate.

Even ten large light wheels will not work.

Even at the beginning of the ordinary sixth-order, it is difficult to blow the head of a sixth-order peak existence, even if the latter has fallen for a long time.

Ren recalled: "I lived in the world of Ling Steam for more than a year before, and I didn't feel this invisible oppression."

"Maybe, only the fifth-order saints will be suppressed?"

Feeling the ubiquitous sense of confinement, Artoria pondered for a moment, and then made a deduction.

Compared with when she was in space, her storm field was also compressed a circle, and the sky blue storm continued to roar, but it was still gradually shrinking.

"Maybe, maybe—"

Ren was about to say something when his face suddenly changed and his voice stopped abruptly.

At the same time, Artoria's expression also changed, and she frowned and said: "I don't know why, but the speed of my life has been accelerated several times!"

"About six times."

Ren's face was cold, his eyes shot silver light, he stared intently at his body surface, and said, "Actually, I had this sign in space just now, and it's much clearer now."

Within the extraordinary field of vision of the "Eye of Breaking Delusion", he could see countless tiny regular chains in the void passing through his body like strings and waves.

His indestructible golden body is very powerful, every cell and every piece of flesh contains surging blood energy, burning like a furnace, coiling like a horned dragon, but at this moment, these exuberant blood energy and vitality are being suppressed by those ubiquitous rules. Chains draw, flow and disappear into the void.

This speed is about 6 times faster than the natural passage.

Artoria also observed herself with golden pupils, and quickly came to a conclusion, with a look of surprise on her face, and said:

"These divine chains of rules that absorb our vitality are almost everywhere, void, atmosphere, sunlight, mountains, rivers...any corner of the planet is filled with this kind of power.

It is the world itself! "

In other words, it was the "world" itself that was "sucking" her and Ren's vitality.

This kind of sucking seems to be aimed at the fifth-order saints, but ordinary people are fine.

Ren said coldly: "There is one thing I have never figured out. Why is the lifespan of a human saint about 500 years?"

At the beginning of the fifth order, at the middle of the fifth order, at the top of the fifth order, and at the peak of the fifth order, the lifespan is 500 years.

This is very unreasonable.

Take Renn as an example, he can live for more than 3000 years after he cultivates the Indestructible Gold, which is the result he calculated in the OP world.

"After I become the main god, if I stay in the moon world, I should be able to live forever... In the OP world, I can live for more than 5000 years." Artoria said.

Wren asked, "How fast is your life going by now?"

Arturia looked solemn: "Compared to the OP world, the speed is ten times faster. If this continues, I can live for about 500 years."

Ren: "..."

Another 500 years.

Well, something is obvious.

In this world, there is a special "restriction" that reduces and fixes the lifespan of human saints at about 500 years.

Ren's face was cold, and his mind was running at high speed, sorting out the information he had.

This planet is the head of a certain sixth-order peak life form.

The consciousness of the world is transformed by a wisp of remnant soul in the head, muddled and unable to communicate.

The power of the rules of the world itself is suppressing and imprisoning the power and destructive power of the saint.

The power of the rules of the world itself is sucking and plundering the vitality of the fifth-order saints, limiting their lifespan.

The more Ryan analyzed, the uglier his face became. 500 years is actually not short, and it may be more than 3000 years. Who wants to live only 500 years?
Moreover, this world is full of weirdness. My level was too low before and I didn't realize it. This time I broke through to the fifth level before I realized how deep the water is.

In some places, it's frightening to think about it carefully.

Both Ren and Arturia were thinking about the anomalies in this world, and they didn't speak. After a while, they had descended to an altitude of [-] meters.

It was night, but with their eyesight, many things on the ground were still clearly visible.

In the center of the plain stands a large city. At night, the city is still brightly lit and very prosperous. The roads outside the city extend in all directions, and several inland rivers are like beautiful silver belts under the bright stars and moon.

This is the city of Melova, a shining pearl on the territory of the Kingdom of Faroland.

Ren looked at the beautiful and familiar night scene, feeling a little nostalgic, but he was not in a good mood at the moment and was not in a hurry to go home.

The shock wave in his palm emerged, and he pressed the void lightly a few times, feeling the feedback, and said indifferently:

"The suppression has become stronger again. Compared with space, our destructive power on the surface is only about half of the original."

The only fortunate thing is that this is the same for others, as long as they are creatures living on this planet, they will be suppressed by the power of the world.

The difference is that ordinary people and extraordinary people below the fifth level seem to be unable to touch the red line of this "restriction".

Arturia nodded, closed her eyes and sensed it, and breathed a sigh of relief:

"The passing speed of lifespan has also been fixed, and it has not accelerated."

Even so, the taste of being drained of life force is not pleasant.

It's not that there will be pain, the way the world "sucks" the saint's vitality is very natural, and there will be no discomfort at all.

But who doesn't want to live longer?
Ren frowned and said, "Why is life force absorbed by the power of the world only when you reach the fifth level?"

He observed some ordinary workers and low-level transcendents in Melova City with his "Eye of Delusion Breaking", and found that they were fine.

Those invisible and ubiquitous chains of special rules also pass through their bodies, but they will not absorb the vitality in their bodies.

Weird.

"Maybe their life level is not enough?" Artoria said.

"possible."

Ren rubbed his chin, recalling the words of the Sky Elder from the Natural School. He didn't know what he thought of, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

Artoria asked curiously, "What did you think of?"

"You said, the world consciousness absorbs our vitality, is it a kind of eating behavior?"

"You mean..."

"That's right, Elder Anion said that the essence of him (world consciousness) is the remnant soul of the sixth-order peak life body. If he wants to resurrect, recover or reincarnate, then he can collect high-quality life energy Is that justifiable?"

"Bold speculation."

Artoria was startled when she heard this, and said with some hesitation, "However, there seems to be a loophole in this speculation."

"What flaw?"

"Why didn't He extract and limit the vitality of the demons? Demons don't have a lifespan of 500 years. A dark prince can be active for thousands of years even if he doesn't sleep."

"..."

Ren was speechless for a moment.

This is indeed too strange.

The suppression and confinement of power are treated equally. On the surface of the planet, the destructive power of humans and demons has been greatly limited.

But in terms of lifespan, human saints seem to be targeted by the consciousness of the world. Even the most powerful human beings like the Storm God of War and the Sun King will still be a handful of loess after 500 years.

That's why it is said that the lifespan of a human saint is no more than 500 years, which is almost common sense.

To be honest, if Ren and Artoria hadn't calculated their own lifespan in the OP world first, they might not have noticed the abnormality.

Because the power of the world is everywhere.

The natives of this world may feel that this speed of life passing is a normal phenomenon...

Thinking about it carefully, Ren shuddered and said in a low voice:
"After we finish the (mainline) mission, let's get out of this ghost place."

In this broken world, the water is too deep.

"Ah."

Arturia also nodded.

This time their strength has greatly increased, and the advancement of the main task can be accelerated.

Finish the task quickly, leave here quickly, maybe you don't have to encounter those unknown and terrible dangers.

[Reminder: Mutations have occurred in the spirit steam world, the strength of the patrons has changed due to the opening of the trial mission in advance, and the main mission has changed. ]
At this time, the system's prompt sounded on time.

Ren: "..."

What a mess, change the mission at this time?
Artoria: "..."

Suddenly feel a little bad.

[All the original side quests are cancelled, you will no longer receive any rewards for killing the Ghoul Duke Marcus and the Ghoul Duke Tucker.

Remarks: These side missions have no difficulty and do not meet the reward mechanism. ]
Ren: "..."

Come on, the two scoring items are gone, and it hurts to think about it.

However, this arrangement of the system also makes sense.

He used mission points to start the dungeon mission ahead of time, and brought his strength to the fifth level. It would be too easy to bully the two ghoul dukes who were only at the peak of the fourth level.

Pure abuse.

According to the mechanism of the system, the reward is proportional to the difficulty.

The task of killing the Duke of Darkness was difficult for Ren and Artoria before, but now it is a piece of cake.

[Main task 1 (Career No. [-]): Kill Prince Christian of the demon camp. ]
[Main task 1 (Favourite No. [-]): Kill at least one Dark Lord within five years. ]
[Main task 2 (Favourite No. [-]): Kill any Prince of Darkness. ]
[Main task 2 (Career No. [-]): Kill or defeat at least any Dark Lord within five years. ]
[Optional task [-]: (All patrons can accept it): When the world is promoted, use your own strength to pass through the abyss of heaven and go to other worlds. ]
[Reminder: After Ling·Steam World dragged and devoured many "world fragments", it has reached the upgrade standard. Ling·Steam World will start to be promoted within ten years. Whether it succeeds or fails, its space-time coordinates will shift. ]
……

After viewing the mission, Ren communicated with his sister, looked at her perfect profile, and muttered, "Why do I feel that my mission is more difficult than yours?"

"really."

Arturia nodded and guessed, "Maybe you are the No. 1 patron, it's a bit special."

It seems that the tests and trials he has endured are indeed more difficult.

His luck also seems to be very bad, until now, he didn't even get a high-level [identity card], his face was so dark that he couldn't bear to look at it.

Ren said a little aggrieved: "My task is difficult, but the rewards don't seem to be richer than yours."

Artoria: "..."

seems like it……

Thinking about it seriously, in the OP world, the difficulty of several of his tasks is also slightly higher than hers on the whole.

This is a bit unreasonable and does not conform to the operating regulations of the system.

Ren asked in his heart: [Master System, my trial tasks are always more difficult, why won't the rewards increase? ]
system:[……]
no respond.

Ryan looked unhappy: [Speak up, quickly explain why! ]

Angry, is it easy to earn some money by beating workers?The garbage system is still targeting him.

system:[……]
If there is no response, it will be like a dead machine.

Ren couldn't help it now, and was angry in his heart: [What about the balance mechanism, what about your mother's principle of equivalent exchange?It is said that the danger is directly proportional to the reward, why don't you increase my reward?Speak, dumb! ]
system:[……]
For some reason, it was still silent.

Ren: "..."

(▼ dish▼#)
(ε(#((O==(▔dish▔╬)

What do you mean, treat differently?Or do dogs look down on people?

Ren's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he was about to explode, greeting the eighteen generations of ancestors who broke the system.

Beside, Artoria sweated a bit, took his hand and said, "Okay, don't get excited, let's go home first."

For the system, she still maintains a sense of awe. He is absolutely an unimaginable creation with incredible power.

But His reaction today is indeed a bit strange.

I feel a little discriminated against and disgusted with Ren... Ahem, it should be her illusion.

"Hmph, let him go today."

In contrast, Ryan lacks awe of the system.

He didn't get help from the system at all in the early days. On the contrary, he was cheated to death. He was upset and scolded him severely.

That was when the system restarted for the first time in the main world (before the Fourth Holy Grail War), he excitedly sprayed him countless times, and of course, the system didn't respond at all.

You can be sure that there will be no punishment for scolding the system.

Of course, this is also "using the topic to play", Renn will not let go of the opportunity to test the system, especially today he showed a little abnormality - the tasks he issued to him were difficult, but the rewards did not increase accordingly, which is related to the operating mechanism A bit inconsistent...

Just like that, Artoria dragged the cursing Lei to the city of Melova with a speechless expression.

…………

East of the city, villa area.

As a well-known wealthy area in this city, the streets here are all flat asphalt roads, which are cleaned very cleanly. There are colorful bonsai flowers on the roadside.

The law and order is also very good, there are often some patrols, and the houses are basically two or three-story villas with small gardens.

"Yeah, finally home!"

Ren pushed open the door, entered the living room, and fell directly on the leather sofa with a happy face.

Relax your body and mind, don't think about those annoying things just now, anyway, facing the oppression and sucking of the world, there is no solution for the time being.

"Well, I'm home, although it's only been a week here."

Artoria took off her combat boots, entered the living room, and hung her coat on the hanger. Seeing him rushing to the sofa to lay his dead body, she couldn't help smiling, her beautiful smile blooming like a hundred flowers.

This familiar and warm home made her feel brighter from a little depressed just now.

After playing several copies, it took more than a year and a half, but only a week has passed in Kering·Steam World.

Although the time here is not completely stagnant, the power of the system is also hard to guess.

"It's still comfortable to live here."

Ren lay lazily on the sofa, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the peace of the moment.

There's no place like home.

He loves this small villa far more than the palace of the Lionheart Kingdom.

This place is his and Keisha's love nest, and it is here that the two began to live together formally and made a big deal about their marriage.

This is also the place where he and his cheap sister lived for half a year.

After returning home, Arturia went straight to the bedroom.

She took off the knight's leather armor, controlled her divine body, changed back into the posture of a young girl, and put on a casual white short-sleeved T-shirt, black skirt and stockings before walking out of the bedroom.

After she came out, she found that Ren was still lying lazily on the sofa, with his hands on his hips and said:

"Hurry up and make dinner. I'll clean the room. The house has accumulated a little dust in the past week."

"It's been a long time since I haven't looked like this, and it looks a little strange."

Seeing the cheap sister who had regained her girlish posture, Ren shrugged and complained.

Compared to the girl in the abstinence class at this airport, he now thinks that the sister with a C cup, long legs, and a goddess-like attitude looks more seductive.

"Go and cook."

Arturia reached out and grabbed his ear, and pulled him up from the sofa, "Don't be lazy, celebrate the return, at least twenty dishes tonight!"

You are not afraid of dying.

Ren slandered, not daring to express any opinions, and walked into the kitchen honestly.

Only food and drink is not allowed to bargain.

Even if he won the final battle in the OP world, he has been the head of the family for the past two years and has no right to speak about it.

Renn cooks very fast, and in a short while, he served Marseille bouillabaisse, chicken stewed in red wine, foie gras, eel with watercress, chicken with black truffle and snowflakes, fish noodles with black pepper, etc., on the table. .

Arturia was so happy that she almost cried.

Looking at the cheap sister who was quickly destroying the food across the table and didn't talk to him, Ren shook his head.

The appetite is getting more and more amazing.

If it weren't for his wealth, he would have been poor.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, Artoria, who had been focusing on killing food, remembered the business, and asked while cutting the steak:
"That Prince Christian, is it difficult to deal with?"

Unlike her killing a dark prince casually, he had to kill the ghost prince.

"Ah."

Mentioning this, Renn's face was a little dignified, "The demons are making a comeback, and the situation is getting more and more dangerous. Most of the southern plains of the Kingdom of Faroran have fallen, and the commander in charge of the demon camp this time is Prince Christian!

In comparison, Prince Miro was nothing more than a second-in-command. "

It is conceivable how powerful that old demon can be to make Prince Milo, who has always been flashy and domineering, give up his position as the head coach of the demon camp this time.

"trouble."

Artoria sighed, "It seems that the reward is not so easy to get."

Not surprisingly, that Prince Christian should be the existence of the peak of the Prince of Darkness, and even touched the realm of the monarch.

In other words, it is the peak of level 30, and one foot may have stepped into level 31, which is basically equivalent to the level of a star sword master.

Renn is still inferior to the star sword master back then.

"Even so, I will kill him this time."

Ren's eyes were cold, as if he had thought of something, he said, "Tomorrow, I will go to Lucy Wilson and ask for some information."

Artoria nodded: "Okay, I'll go too."

Her initial plan was to take Prince Miro's knife, and it happened that Lucy also had information.
