Everyone is fleeing the famine, my items can be upgraded

"It turns out that three great masters are here."

At this time, Lu Mei walked out of the mountain temple.

Suddenly, Yang Yuan and the other three looked over in surprise.

Because the Lu Mei at this moment was completely different from the Lu Mei they saw last time.

Last time they met each other once before leaving Shan Shen Mountain.

But at that time, the other party was still a dignified and beautiful woman. She didn't even have the slightest temperament of a strong person, only dignified and gentle, giving people the feeling of a good wife and loving mother.

But now——

The other party has silver-white waist-length hair, his pupils have turned silver-gray, and he is also wearing a silver-gray dress, giving people a strange feeling that the other party is not human.

At this moment, Lu Mei felt a very violent but forcibly suppressed emotional agitation.

In addition to these, there is also the sense of death that pervades the entire mountain.

"I haven't seen you for many days. Meishan God has changed a lot."

Yang Yuan sighed with emotion.

"Mr. Yang Yuan, please call me Lu Mei. In front of you, I am nothing like a mountain god."

Lu Mei's voice was still gentle, but compared to before, it seemed much colder.

There is a deep sense of loneliness in her aura like a true god.

Perhaps influenced by the spiritual power that permeated the entire mountain, Yang Yuan couldn't help but feel an urge to pity the beauty.

Of course, this is just a feeling. Lu Mei's level is only forty-two or three at most. She is still in the early stage of the earth level and cannot really affect him yet.

After saying that, Lu Mei glanced at the building squeezing Tianyu in the sky and said, "Let's talk about it inside. That building puts too much pressure on me."

With that said, she turned around and entered the mountain temple.

Yang Yuan and Zhao Jiayan looked at each other and then followed.

Zhao Jiayan immediately asked Jiang Yiyi to close the door of space and followed in.

Speaking of which, this was their first time entering the mountain temple.

They didn't enter here last time because they didn't trust Yan Chenggong.

Now, it is naturally impossible for them to completely trust Lu Mei, but their strength is no longer what it used to be.

Not to mention Yang Yuan himself has reached the earth level, Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi have reached the earth limit.

If Lu Mei was really stupid, even a sneak attack at close range would not be able to hurt them.

The layout inside the mountain temple is very simple.

The first thing you see when you enter is the mountain god statue.

It used to be the statue of Yan Chenggong, but now, it has become the statue of Lu Mei.

Yang Yuan is familiar with the layout here because he has seen the drawings given by Lu Mei.

The structure of the mountain temple is also very simple. In addition to the main hall where the statues are placed, there are side halls on the left and right.

There is a back hall at the back, which is the bedroom and a place to sleep.

There is no breath of life at all.

As a mountain god, in theory, you don't need to eat, and you will almost never be hungry.

Eating is just to satisfy the appetite.

Lu Mei took Yang Yuan and the others to the side hall and asked them to sit down respectively. She also sat cross-legged opposite the table.

"Do you know what that building that fell from the sky is?" Yang Yuan asked straight to the point.

Lu Mei pondered for a moment, then answered: "I don't know the specifics, but it should be the location of similar game administrator authority. I don't know much about the game government. I only know that if you control that building, you can control people like me." Human life and death.”

Yang Yuan was stunned and asked again: "If, I mean if, I fight for it, do you think I have any hope of taking control of that building?"

This time, Lu Mei shook her head without hesitation: "As far as I know, without permission, you can't even enter that building, let alone enter it to obtain permission."

Moreover, the place where the building fell would definitely be extremely far away from here.

But because she knew that Yang Yuan had such a thing as a space gate, she was not sure whether Yang Yuan could reach there at a fixed time.

Yang Yuan asked again: "What will happen after that building falls?"

This time Lu Mei was silent for a long time before replying: "For us, it is a good thing and a bad thing."

"What should I say?" Yang Yuan's heart moved.

Lu Mei organized the conversation: "When you were still in the Earth Age, did you think it was better for the center of power of your own country to be within the country or outside the country?"

Needless to say?

Yang Yuan understood: "You mean, there is hope that the creatures in the Creation Continent can obtain administrator rights? Or..."

Zhao Jiayan immediately took over his topic: "Alternatively, even if the creatures of the Creation Continent cannot obtain permission, they can still use demonstrations or personal threats to coerce those with permission to change laws and other regulations."

"It's a very interesting metaphor. That's pretty much it. Of course, all this is just my guess. I just made an inference based on the information I know. I don't know how specific it is."

Lu Mei said: "But this is only for the future. What we are facing now is that the game may be tested in advance, because the arrival of the authority building means more changes, and the game government is likely to increase its efforts or pay more. To promote gamification at a big cost.”

"Might gamification be accelerated?" Yang Yuan was shocked.

Lu Mei said: "According to my speculation, Creation Continent is probably not the only game world of the game government. Creation Continent is only being produced, and other places may already have game worlds that have been produced long ago. But..."

After a pause, she added: "Based on the information I know and some external phenomena, it is speculated that the game world will also have completely different properties."

"What do you mean?" Yang Yuan asked.

Lu Mei explained: "Just like the chicken game and racing game in the earth era, there may be some overlap, but they are definitely not the same game. Another example is Tetris and whack-a-mole, which are definitely completely different properties."

Yang Yuan suddenly asked: "What is the nature of Creation Continent?"

"It has the nature of breaking through levels, plus the nature of solving puzzles." Lu Mei said.

Yang Yuan nodded: "What about the phenomenon? What will happen if that building falls? I feel threatened. After that building falls, it will never be peaceful."

"Mr. Yang Yuan has stood too high and has begun to ignore the foot of the mountain?" Lu Mei suddenly asked something puzzling.

However, Zhao Jiayan reacted suddenly: "You don't mean to say that that building did not appear on the Creation Continent in a mysterious way, but actually fell from the sky physically..."

"I have to ask Mr. Yang Yuan." Lu Mei said.

"..."

Yang Yuan had nothing to say. His Luobao Gourd was to force all objects illuminated by the Luobao's light to fall.

If the building is very big, or even not very big, but because the level is high enough and the power is powerful enough——

Falling from an unknown height in the sky, what kind of terrifying movement would it cause?

The fall of meteorites in the past earth era may have led to the extinction of life on earth.

Such a building that surpasses the heavenly level fell down...

"Will the Creation Continent be destroyed?" Yang Yuan asked.

"Mr. Yang Yuan, the little girl is just a little mountain god, not an omnipotent god." Lu Mei was helpless.

"I thought you had authority in this area and knew more."

Yang Yuan regretted and suddenly asked: "Do you want to leave the game?"

Lu Mei's silver-gray pupils flashed slightly: "I want to get rid of the mountain god status, I want to become a player."

"Players should also be controlled by the game government, right?" Zhao Jiayan asked.

Lu Mei did not answer this question, obviously it was no longer within the scope of her consideration.

There was no way to get the best of both worlds, at least she couldn't think of one.

"Have you thought of a way?" Yang Yuan asked.

Lu Mei turned to look at the mountain god statue in the main hall and talked about a topic that seemed to have nothing to do with it: "The mountain god statue and the mountain god mountain are one with each other and are not separated from each other. To a certain extent, the mountain god statue is my true body. Now I am just a clone."

"Where is the mountain god's order?" Yang Yuan asked again.

"The Mountain God Order is a soul-like existence bred by the Mountain God Mountain." Lu Mei explained.

Yang Yuan understood, pondered for a moment, and said: "I can directly transform you, so that you should be able to get rid of the shackles of the Mountain God Mountain, but the flaw is very big, and you will not be able to leave me from now on. For example, if you have an adventure outside, it will be difficult. Improve your strength by relying on unexpected encounters.”

Lu Mei was silent, obviously unable to accept such a flaw, because her goal in life was to settle accounts with the game government, and she could not stay by Yang Yuan's side.

"Is there any other way?" she asked in a low voice.

Yang Yuan was about to speak.

Suddenly Jiang Yiyi suddenly looked towards the corner of the side hall.

Yang Yuan and Zhao Jiayan noticed Jiang Yiyi's behavior and turned around suddenly.

Lu Mei also looked over in confusion. The spiritual storm that enveloped the entire Mountain God Mountain was faintly fluctuating.

At this moment, a deep voice suddenly sounded: "Maybe I can help you."

As the sound came out, in a corner of the hall, a dark figure slowly condensed from virtual to solid.

This figure was more than five meters tall, like a black mountain peak, exuding an uncomfortable cold aura.

"who?"

Yang Yuan, Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi subconsciously raised their arms to shoot arrows.

Lu Mei was also facing a formidable enemy. You know, even if Yang Yuan and the others used the space gate to directly enter the Mountain God Mountain, she could detect it immediately.

But she didn't know how the mysterious existence in front of her entered the Mountain God Mountain.

"I am the Shadow Demon, an existence that walks freely in the game world."

The Shadow Demon ignored the threats from Yang Yuan and the others and slowly walked towards them, with a hint of mystery in his voice: "I heard your conversation, maybe I can help you realize your wish."

Lu Mei's silver-gray eyes flashed with expectation, but she asked with a vigilant look: "Can you fulfill my wish? My wish is to get rid of the shackles of the Mountain God Mountain."

The Shadow Demon smiled slightly and took out a black gem from his body: "This is the heart of darkness. With it, you can freely control your own destiny and no longer be bound by anything."

Yang Yuan and Zhao Jiayan looked at each other and frowned slightly.

The two have doubts about the Shadow Demon's identity and true intentions.

"I think it's better for you not to believe him blindly first." Yang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Lu Mei nodded. Even though she was not very familiar with Yang Yuan, compared with this uninvited guest, Yang Yuan was at least a human being: "Tell me about your identity first. Are you from outside the world? Or are you the game government yourself? People? Also, why do you want to help me? What is your purpose? "

"That's right, I come from outside the world. It was such a big show. I really came to see the show, but the result... I won't tell you, it was an unreasonable disaster. I was dragged down by a ray of light."

When the Shadow Demon said this, he seemed to be getting angry.

Yang Yuan, Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi remained calm and showed no reaction.

The Shadow Demon quickly got rid of that emotion, looked at Lu Mei, and said with a half-smile: "You want to know my identity? OK, I am the agent of the abyss. Of course, my identity in the outside world is... The members of the "Shadow Adventure Group", our Shadow Adventure Group, can be regarded as a free adventure group in the game. We all have one pursuit, and that is freedom. I am willing to help you because I believe you also pursue freedom. .”

"It's that simple?"

Yang Yuan asked: "The heart of darkness is a rare thing, right? The use of strange things comes with a price."

Lu Mei's eyes remained unchanged, but she couldn't help but ask: "What's the price?"

"cost……"

The Shadow Demon pondered for a moment and said: "The price is to become the agent of the abyss like me. From then on, you are a person without a shadow. You are the shadow yourself and can only live in the shadow forever, just like me, I was not what I am now. This heart of darkness is a strange thing in the sky, but at the same time, it is also a strange thing, a strange thing produced by the 'abyss', a spirit that you cannot imagine."

abyss?

A combination of heavenly wonders and supernatural beings?

Everyone present felt magical.

"What is an abyss?" Lu Mei asked with a frown, very wary of this word.

"Abyss..."

Shadow Demon smiled, his eyes quite meaningful: "In the very ancient records, it should be a world like your Creation Continent, but the game government went too far, and the whole world tried its best to resist, more than 90% His life was voluntarily sacrificed, and he integrated himself into the will of the world. The whole world became a whole and became a living world from then on. If it hadn't been for this incident, your world would probably have reached that point. It's really... Pity."

Yang Yuan and others looked at each other and saw shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.

"What was originally such a big drama was actually disrupted by a ray of light. It's such a pity that the game government's temporary authority building fell. It was a huge loss to the game government, but it was a huge loss to the Creation Continent. Big opportunity.”

The Shadow Demon sighed with emotion, smiled, and continued: "The heart of darkness is also called the 'heart of freedom'. It can make you complete. Yes, completeness in the true sense, even if your soul is deprived of it, You have been forcibly enslaved. You can use this to become complete and no longer bound, but the price is to become a member of the abyss."

"Then what? What will Abyss ask me to do?" Lu Mei asked.

She would never be restricted by anyone, otherwise she would have directly agreed to Yang Yuan's plan before.

Shadow Demon said with a faint smile: "If you were asked to fight against the game government, would you agree?"

Lu Mei's eyes flashed: "I can!"

She said very firmly.

The Shadow Demon's eyes lit up: "You are still a traveler, so you don't have to worry. As long as you always stand on the opposite side of the game government, the abyss will not do you any harm, and will even deliberately help you."

Zhao Jiayan couldn't help but ask: "This is a mountain temple. What you say will not be monitored by the game government?"

"Do you think the game government is so idle? And what if you hear it? Billions of lives will say things like mine every day, but after endless years, won't it still be like that?"

The Shadow Demon didn't care. He looked at Lu Mei again: "Okay, I've said everything I need to say. It's up to you whether you want to make a choice. I just happened to fall here. I heard what you said and helped you. A handful... By the way, this Heart of Darkness costs money to buy. I can give it to you on credit in advance, but in the future, you need to pay me a cosmic crystal."

"What is the cosmic crystal?" Lu Mei asked.

"That's a kind of currency. You can't use it now. Just remember it."

The Shadow Demon directly threw the Heart of Darkness over.

Lu Mei subconsciously answered: "No agreement is needed? Are you afraid that I will regret it?"

"Haha, no life dares to owe me money."

The Shadow Demon smiled coldly, and then smiled again: "Of course, because you are a traveler, I can allow you to delay the repayment, unless you can't think about it anymore and want to side with the game government. "

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared slowly just as he came.

"Wait, how to use it?" Lu Mei asked hurriedly.

"Swallow it."

The shadow demon disappeared completely.

"It's gone." Jiang Yiyi whispered.

Yang Yuan nodded and looked at Lu Mei: "Are you really planning to use this heart of darkness?"

"Perhaps Mr. Yang Yuan has any better way?" Lu Mei asked.

Yang Yuan was silent. At least for now, he had no good way to help Lu Mei get rid of the shackles of the mountain temple.

"Then bless me."

A crazy smile appeared in Lu Mei's dead eyes: "It's just a matter of death."

After saying that, she swallowed the black stone directly.

The next moment, under the gaze of Yang Yuan and the others, her whole body turned dark, and the shadow under her feet disappeared directly... No, to be precise, the shadow shrank back and merged with her.

This process is very short and ends in just a few seconds.

"How is it?" Zhao Jiayan asked.

"I feel it."

Lu Mei, who turned into a black humanoid creature, turned around and looked at her statue. With a wave of her hand, a ray of light flew directly out of the statue and disappeared into her body.

"Bang——"

The mountain god statue collapsed directly, turned into powder, and scattered with the wind.

At the same time, a godhead flew out.

"Boom——"

A bloody lightning suddenly appeared over the entire Mountain God Mountain, but it was not known whether it was because Lu Mei was not really dead or for some other reason. This bloody lightning was very small.

Everyone on the Mountain God looked at the sudden bloody lightning in surprise.

Chang Xinyan, who was helping a group of ordinary people hoe the ground, changed his expression and hurriedly turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the top of the mountain.

Inside the mountain temple.

Lu Mei's whole aura changed, not becoming stronger, but becoming vague.

If he couldn't see her with his eyes, he would think she didn't exist at all.

"The feeling of freedom..."

Lu Mei felt that the connection between herself and the Mountain God Mountain had disappeared, and her spirit was a little crazy, but she murmured very calmly in her heart: "Although I don't know what the abyss is yet, this is what I want!"

Yang Yuan and Zhao Jiayan looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Because Lu Mei is obviously no longer human.

"The Heart of Darkness should be a strange object similar to a pollutant."

Zhao Jiayan said in surprise: "Are you still yourself now?"

"Yes, I am still the same Lu Mei, but my soul seems to have a sustenance. I... have become an immortal existence."

Lu Mei's voice was a little strange: "Even if I really die, the abyss will resurrect me. It turns out that this is the abyss."

Yang Yuan frowned, feeling that this abyss was so evil.

"Meishan God..."

At this time, Chang Xinyu rushed into the mountain temple and saw that where the statue originally was, there was only one godhead left, and his expression suddenly changed.

"I'm here."

Lu Mei walked out of the side hall.

Chang Xinyan turned around and saw Lu Mei who had turned into a three-dimensional shadow, and said in surprise: "How did you become like this?"

At this time, she saw Yang Yuan and the others and hurriedly bowed: "My benefactor, you are also there."

Yang Yuan and Zhao Jiayan both nodded, looking at Lu Mei and the godhead suspended in mid-air with somewhat complicated emotions.

The godhead at this moment may be because it has become an ownerless thing, and like before, it reflects the entire mountain temple, and then makes the mountain temple shine, shining for hundreds of miles.

"I didn't expect that the divine head that I couldn't see with my own eyes could now be seen again."

Yang Yuan sighed with emotion, looking at the mountain god's godhead who was just a symbol, his eyes were a little strange.

He originally thought that the mountain god's divine personality should be something similar to the core of a spirit.

But the fact is that this mountain god's divine personality is just a symbol, a symbol that looks like an 'F'.

"F, is it a grade?" Zhao Jiayan was confused.

"It's a sequence."

Lu Mei said: "F is the lowest level of authority, lower than F. That is G, which is NPC. However, NPC has almost no authority and can only perform inherent tasks."

"Real game...why does it feel like it's getting more evil the more you watch it?" Zhao Jiayan said with a frown.

"Meishan God, what's going on now?" Chang Xinyan intervened and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Why is Meishan God clearly still alive, but...

"Could it be that your benefactor helped you strip off your divine personality?" She looked happy.

Lu Mei did not explain. She turned to look at Yang Yuan: "Anyway, thank you Mr. Yang Yuan. The people in Shanshen Mountain belong to you. No matter how you want to deal with them, you can."

After saying this, she suddenly said: "Can you let go of the shackles of sister Xinrou's rank?"

"I can't let go, but I can give her another boost."

Yang Yuan took a look at Chang Xinyan's experience, and then directly promoted her to Level 21.

Chang Xinyan, who is at Level 21, can already respond to prayers within a thousand kilometers and travel at the speed of light.

In addition, her strength has increased proportionally. Although she is still at the late human level in terms of aura, she gives people the feeling that she is not weaker than the earth level.

"That's it for now. Maybe we can make you stronger next time we meet. This kind of improvement comes in stages."

Yang Yuan looked at Chang Xinyan: "Actually, I suggest that you stay with me for a while, so that I can quickly improve your strength."

Chang Xinyu felt his surge in strength and couldn't help but ask: "How long is this time?"

"It depends on you, but as long as you live a normal life, you can reach the fourth level of rare objects in half a month at most." Yang Yuan said.
