Abnormal paradise

The aura of the dark curtain has always been one of the confirmation signs of abnormal items. If a dark curtain appears out of thin air in a place where there are no conditions for generation, there will be an abnormal item in all likelihood.

As for why the anomalous project exudes the aura of the dark curtain, from the current perspective, Yi Jin deduces that this should be a combination of system instructions, important data, and virtual reality, a common characteristic that is generally shared. Under the guidance of the genie Jeffries, he looked curiously and saw a flickering light and shadow on the side of the 100-meter-diameter head of the volcano fire demon.

wrong……

That was clearly a human figure!

Ember raised his eyebrows with surprise in his eyes.

Just looking at the outline, the light and shadow of the human form, they are no different from a normal human being. The head, neck, torso, and limbs are all complete, and the height is average, but the skin color is darker than charcoal, and it will never become as dark as the other person after being exposed to the sun for a hundred years. There are no traces of facial features and other details. Similarly, without sexual characteristics, it is difficult to determine whether it is a boy or a girl.

The reason why "he" has the visual effect of being bright and dark is because every few seconds, it will spontaneously ignite, bursting out with a dazzling light that far exceeds the blazing lava. Then, a head will rise to the third level. The epic Balrog will be born from the light.

According to Ember's observation, newborn Balrogs will basically be sucked into the mouth and nose by the God-level Balrog. Only a small number of them will avoid being buried in the "Demon Mouth" when the God-level Balrog exhales the flame stream. However, under the strong impact of the flame breath, the newly born Balrog will often die faster, and the elemental body will quickly disintegrate. If you are lucky, there will be a flint left, which will rush to the outside world with the flame flow.

"So this is how flint comes from!"

Ember suddenly realized it and habitually activated [Divinity·Imaginary Number Space] to view the deep secrets.

Although he didn't understand the system instructions, he still analyzed that this humanoid anomaly project would absorb the power of fire in the environment and use it as "data material". After being processed by the system instructions, he would finally produce various types of Balrogs. The longer the processing cycle is, the stronger the Balrog produced will be. Correspondingly, the effect of the flint will be higher. As long as the underground magma is not cut off, this process should not be interrupted for no reason.

After releasing the imaginary number space, Yi Yan took a special look at the half-asleep Volcano Balrog, expecting that the abnormal items in human form might have been specially left by the Supreme Being to enhance the Volcano Balrog's strength. After all, his experimental templates are unlikely to be static, and there are still indistinguishable space cages around the body of the abnormal project, imprisoning it here.

Thinking of this, Yi Yan rubbed his hands, thinking that after finally coming here, he had to get something back. The comfortable life of the Volcano Flame Demon made him envious.

Of course, the djinn Jeffries and the mini Balrog were also envious.

woo woo woo woo……

The mini Balrog, who could not speak yet, sent out a slightly rapid soul fluctuation. The genie Jeffries immediately acted as a real-time translator: "The little Balrog hopes to get close to that abnormal project and restore the body of the Balrog. Likewise, this is also my The idea. That abnormal item is very helpful for the wick of the magic lamp. Even if it is just close to the vicinity, you can use data exchange to speed up the improvement! If you are lucky and get a few ordinary instructions to strengthen the wick, I can return to the near-god level. not a problem!"

"The plan is very good, and I agree with it with both hands. But the question is, can this abnormal project be completed?"

As a former investigator of the Foundation, Ember had never learned anything about project containment. Moreover, he knew nothing about the forbidden information about this anomalous project. If something happened to awaken the volcano Balrog, the lava pool might be destroyed. The bottom became his burial place.

Fortunately, the true form of the lamp god Jeffries is the magic lamp of prayer after all. When you are in trouble, just make a wish. With 40% of the secret power of prayer, there is some hope of solving the dilemma.

The magical lamp of prayer then appeared in Ember's hand. Although this treasure was still somewhat damaged, its excellent material and adaptability meant that the fiery lava not only failed to destroy the lamp body, but also had a certain repair effect.

"I hope it can be done directly, otherwise I have to ask someone to check the database to see if there is any relevant information. It takes an hour to go back and forth, which is a waste of time."

Ember paused for a moment, and finally confirmed that the volcano Balrog was still half asleep, then stretched out his hand to fumble for the magic lamp of prayer, lowered his head and said, "Magic lamp, magic lamp, I hope you can fulfill my wish and get that abnormal project done."

"As you wish." Djinn Jeffries responded.

The process is not unnecessary for the two of them, because this is the response mechanism that the magic lamp must perform.

The embers make a wish, and the genie answers the words, both are indispensable.

After rubbing it three times, the wick shines brightly, emitting a dazzling light in the lava world.

Yi Yan looked at the volcano Balrog with some worry, and found that it was not moving at all, so he immediately felt relieved, but then he saw that the humanoid object trapped in the space cage was shaking his index finger joint slightly, and it seemed that it was faintly moving. There is still rhythm to be found.

Um?

Is there a situation?

Ember hurriedly asked the Djinn: "Is this considered a successful wish?"

"have no idea."

"How could the mighty djinn not know this?" Yu Yan was stunned.

"The power of prayer is elusive. Even if the mysteries are successfully deduced and the [Divinity·Prayer] is condensed, I have no way to know it clearly." Djinn Jeffries looked at the humanoid project, "But what is certain is that prayer The power of the wish has basically been sucked away by the abnormal project, maybe it is the [Wish Granter]!"

"..."

Yi Yan was speechless. Just as he was about to ask the applicant how to deal with the applicant himself, he immediately noticed that the index finger joint of the humanoid object seemed to be gesticulating something?

"Turn left, turn right...make a circle...is this a zero? What does it mean?"

Yi Yan distinguished it carefully, and then suddenly realized that the humanoid object was clearly gesturing with the English letter "O", and the one turning left and right was "Ace". Together, it was a distress signal! And this discovery made him couldn't help but think that the rhythm shown by the humanoid object shaking the index finger joint just now was actually the Morse code of three short, three long and three short.

"Holy shit, not only is Co-author of this thing conscious, he also has a pretty high IQ!"

Baring his teeth, Yi Yan was even more surprised. There is a humanoid anomaly project that can communicate with IQ. The research value is immeasurable. If he tells the creator, he will be rewarded generously. But while he was surprised, the question came to his mind again. Saving lives was a technical job, and he didn't think he had the skills. As for telling the Creator, he didn't even think about it. After all, he encountered an unexpected encounter, and Ember was unwilling to give it up to others.

Um……

Now that it is determined that the humanoid project can communicate, the solution to the dilemma is undoubtedly to start with in-depth communication.

Yi Yan started to try according to this idea, but how could the layout of the supreme being be so easy to break?

The venerable thoughts of the genie Jeffries cannot break through the invisible barriers and build communication channels. It is also impossible for Ember to penetrate the barrier using the Infinite Magic Carpet. As we all know, the "cat" carpet is afraid of fire. In the same way, wood is also afraid of fire, so the puppet girl did not follow the embers down at all, but it was the puppet girl who came in handy at the critical moment!

Three [Mark·Will] made her willpower reach an unimaginable level, and she could have a long-distance conversation with the embers even across the deep lava.

After some discussion, the puppet girl felt that if she went deep into the lava, she might be able to establish a communication channel.

So based on the idea that good things come to a long way, Yi Yan decided to turn back first and deliver the Firestone Flame Crystal, officially taking the first step on the road of suffering.

…

puff!

A stream of flames rose into the sky from under the lava pool, causing the fiery magma to splash everywhere.

The legendary settlement slaves hid in a specially opened hiding space, enduring the hot wind and looking intently at the lava pool.

In the past, before the flames completely subsided, someone would rush to the lava pool, pick up precious flints despite splashing sparks, because only by earning enough resources for their masters could they have a chance to get rid of their slave status.

But today, everyone has become much more tolerant and did not collect flint until the flames stopped.

The direct reason why this happened is that the high-level materials such as flint and flame crystals that are worthy of their efforts are much less likely to appear. The reason for this situation is that a fierce man entered the lava pool!

"Oh my God! It's been almost an hour, and the adult is still alive. Is it because the temperature of the lava is low, or is he using the lava to soak in hot springs?"

"Nonsense, of course the temperature of the lava cannot be lowered! The fact is that the strength of that adult is beyond the imagination of all our slaves!"

"I heard that a Venerable Dream Picker came to the settlement, and he is actually the disciple of the Venerable. Doesn't this mean that the strength of the Venerable is even more unimaginable?"

The legendary slaves with various marks printed on their foreheads started talking in horror. This scene would be experienced by the suffering Pope almost every reincarnation. However, Ember's performance in the same period far exceeded that of the Tormenting Pope, and there was no need to take a break every ten minutes, so accordingly, the discussion atmosphere among the slaves became more lively.

But as a figure suddenly appeared in the lava pool, the intense atmosphere was suddenly suffocated.

Because that adult...is back!

The fear caused by the difference in strength forced the slaves to kneel down one after another, not daring to look at the ember for fear of offending this peerless strong man. It wasn't until Ember put on the plague doctor suit and steadily walked out of the lava mine under the attentive guidance of the leader of the settlement that the legendary slaves dared to take a deep breath, and then discussed how terrifying Ember's power was, making people afraid to approach.

If Ember hears what they say, he will definitely burst into laughter. As a player, even if he reaches the epic realm, what power can he have?

It's purely psychological.

But the leader of the settlement, as a witness, behaved more respectfully than the legendary slaves. The ember walked all the way, and he led the way. Returning to the entrance of the temple, he acted as a doorman to ask for instructions from Yu Yan. He was summoned by Ananda, and finally he bowed and made a "please come in" gesture before giving up.

Seeing this situation, Yi Yan shook his head helplessly and ignored the attentive performance of the leader of the settlement. He gave the fire stone crystal to Teacher Yiyi to solve the crisis in the settlement and officially completed the initial mission.

[Tip: You have successfully completed the first link "Start" of the exclusive mission "The Path of Misery", and the mission reward will be distributed by the teacher "Ananda"! 】

[Tip: The open copy "Apprenticeship to Ananda" has officially ended. If you want to open subsequent copies, please follow the instructions of the teacher "Ananda". 】

"Rare and valuable!"

Ananda showed compassion and nodded to Ember: "The crisis in the settlement started because of the teacher and ended with you. It can be said that it has a beginning and an end! Saving thousands of lives in the settlement is enough to prove that you are worthy of letting the teacher guide the way. Step forward and I will help If you condense the prototype of divinity, it can be considered as compensation for your apprenticeship ceremony, okay?"

"Okay, okay, it doesn't get better than this!"

Hearing this, Yi Yan's eyes lit up, and he ignored the deep voice of the lamp god Jeffries to stop him. He followed the system prompts and chose to let his natural skill [Swallow Heaven and Earth] take the path to divinity.

Ananda raised his finger in the air, gently touched the center of Yi Yan's eyebrows, and then stopped his hand and said: "Teacher, come in, practice is personal. I can help you condense the prototype of divinity, but it is absolutely impossible to condense divinity. I hope you don't slack off. , remember to work hard and make progress.”

"Is this the end?" Yi Yan wondered.

"It's over." Ananda nodded.

"It's over..." The Djinn sighed softly. Despite all the precautions, he failed to prevent Ember from going astray. However, considering that the Creator had long left the divine imaginary space, he had no choice but to let Ember go.

Looking curiously at the explanation panel of Devouring Heaven and Earth, Ember found an additional explanation——

[Your teacher "Ananda" constructed a "Dream Prototype" for this skill. As long as enough materials are swallowed and digested, the "Dream Prototype" can be filled into the real "Divine Prototype" and open the path to mysteries! 】

"Tsk, look at what this means...the prototype of the dream is the seed of the seed? Only when the prototype of the dream is filled in can the prototype of divinity be formed and become the beloved of the epic."

Using the imaginary number space to observe the skill profile, and after confirming his thoughts, Yi Yan immediately smiled and expressed his gratitude to the cheap teacher. No matter how he said it, he had touched the edge of the divine mysteries. Is it hard to say the rest?

Ananda nodded, with a flash of a smile, and then said to Ember with compassion again: "My teacher was inspired by the Lord of Dreams, soared into the sky and became a venerable, so I should repay the kindness of the Lord of Dreams. Just by relying on The power of one person as a teacher is not enough to bring the Dream Lord back to its peak. Only by integrating the Dream-Recovering God Cult can there be any possibility!"

hiss!

This sounds a bit wrong...

Yi Yan had a bad premonition, so he heard Ananda say: "My master is going to hold a big banquet in the Shennu settlement and invite the venerable and beloved members of the religion to come and discuss the matter. Unfortunately, the settlement is short of resources, so I need you to collect a hotel for my master." need."

[Tip: The conditions for generating the follow-up copy "Night Banquet" are: fifty fire stone flame crystals, one hundred rare seafood, and three cold land snow beasts! Please collect enough materials as soon as possible. The later the time goes, the more variables there will be in the "Night Banquet" instance. 】

"Night banquet? This name doesn't sound right!"

Ember raised his eyebrows: "The other fifty fire stone crystals are not easy to find. Even at the bottom of the lava pool, it is difficult to collect them in large quantities. Fortunately, I came back temporarily and confirmed the mission target, otherwise I would have to run several times! As for the rare seafood, it shouldn’t be difficult to solve. Doesn’t the Hanged Man still owe me a promise? Wouldn’t it be nice to ask him to deliver it to me? The cold snow beast is probably a specialty of the cold place. It’s just a matter of time. Go hunting with Nina to relax and try to get it done today!”

After clearing his mind, Ember took the order to leave, forwarded a message to the Hanged Man through Mr. Fool, and then dived into the lava pool with the puppet girl.

And this so-called "together" is not just literal. Since the puppet girl could not overcome the blazing lava, she took out her newly learned epic skills and turned it into a will totem attached to Ember's eyebrows to avoid the damage of the fire. Ember himself received the benefit…

"Nina."

"Um?"

"If the Pope of Suffering has you by his side, he will not be left alive."

"Hehe, I didn't waste this skill I learned specifically for you! But I'm still far from being able to withstand the whispers of the gods! Of course, you are no match for [Original Sin Ancient God] now. Let's keep working hard. "

Feeling the wave of will coming from the center of his eyebrows, Yi Yan smiled, and then gathered his energy and swam toward the bottom of the lava pool, collecting flint and flame crystals along the way. He returned to the vicinity of the volcano fire demon and the humanoid project half an hour later.

"Hey, the abnormal project you mentioned has no will fluctuations. How did you communicate with him before?" The puppet girl asked in confusion.

Ember looked at the motionless humanoid object, and suddenly realized that the magic lamp of prayer must have really worked, activating the person who answered the wish with the power of prayer, and then barely connected with it.

He took out the magic lamp of prayer again and did the same thing. Sure enough, he once again awakened the humanoid project. Facts have proved that all the hard work of ascending and descending was not in vain. The puppet girl successfully broke through the space with the power of will beyond ordinary people. Barriers and communication channels have been established.

"Dog...dog's life...ah." The humanoid project came calling for help.

"Good guy, have you mastered Cantonese?"

Ember couldn't help but laugh, and immediately started a somewhat difficult information exchange with the humanoid project, and then learned a not-so-good result.

The space cage is directly related to the volcano fire demon. When the latter fully awakens, the cage will be automatically unsealed, and the end of the humanoid project is naturally not to escape.

Fortunately, only the project itself is imprisoned in the space cage. It will not block the influx of lava externally, but will allow the Balrog to pass internally, so it is still possible to give some "prison food" to the humanoid project.

As for the final solution, it was decided by the djinn god Jeffries. With the fearless spirit of "If I don't go to hell, who will?", he took the initiative to ask Ying to go deep into the dangerous place, enter the space cage and work hard to improve his strength, and wait until the Balrog wakes up, and then fight with him. Ember came together inside and outside to help the humanoid project get out of trouble.

The danger of this method is so high that it can be seen with the naked eye.

But the attitude of the lamp god Jeffries is particularly determined: "Don't persuade me. With the current situation, I must seize every opportunity for promotion. Otherwise, if one day, I will have to discuss seating with my other self, what will be the result? It’s conceivable!”

The ember was silent. There was still no news about the disputes between the major forces and the future world. He was also very anxious. If there was really something wrong, he would have to wait for three years, three years, and three years...

"Ember, after following you for so long, it's time to briefly separate for some time."

Djinn Jeffries said slowly: "Although I still don't want you to embark on the path of divinity, but the matter has come to this, I can only accept it. The seeds of divinity have been planted. With your improvement speed, after a while, will surpass me. As a former god-level existence, I naturally don’t want to be a burden to you, so a brief separation is obviously more appropriate. Ananda is right, hard work is the eternal truth, these words are not only It’s for you, it’s also for me.”

As soon as the words fell, the magical lamp of prayer floated towards the humanoid project, carrying the mini Balrog willing to go with him. However, the space cage did not prevent the process of integrating the magical lamp into the humanoid project.

Ember stayed for a moment to confirm that the magic lamp was intact and would not be swallowed by the Balrog or assimilated by the project. Then he returned. Since three of his companions mentioned working hard, he would naturally not slack off...
