The Land of Crystallization on Brandt Island.
The town of Spell Stealer at the center of the Land of Crystallization had become a ruin, a ruin that would not respawn.
Some civilians of the Spell Stealer could not bear the ravages of hunger, and left with the Holy Spirits who came here to scavenge.
Therefore, players would often come to this ruin to take a look, to see if there were any newly respawned NPCs.
Today, there were no 'respawned' NPCs in Spell Stealer Town, but there were still more than a hundred Spell Stealers hiding in the heart of Spell Stealer Town, which was the fourth layer, struggling at death's door.
They avoided the 'pursuit' of the Holy Spirits, and relied on the protection of the high walls of the fourth layer to survive.
Today, one of the Spell Stealers hiding behind the high walls showed special symptoms. This Spell Stealer had been possessed by Deng Hisi's remnant soul.
The people infected by the Crystallization Disease had a faintly discernible hive consciousness connection. Although this consciousness would not affect the individual's thoughts … this connection could be used to do some special things.
Deng Hisi sealed his consciousness within it, and found a suitable candidate at the right time to welcome his second rebirth.
This rebirth was incomplete. A part of Deng Hisi's personality and memories had been devoured by the power of the God Eater when he was killed by Wolf Rider and the executioner.
But even if his memories and personality were no longer complete, Deng Hisi still remembered what he wanted to do.
He controlled the possessed Spell Stealer to the forbidden area at the center of the Land of Crystallization.
Here, the six stone steles still stood tall … as well as the stone stele that had been completely destroyed.
Deng Hisi came to the usual stone tablet and knelt down. He hesitated for a moment, but still placed his hand on the stone tablet.
The stone tablet glowed faintly, and Deng Hisi felt his consciousness connect with the Spell Stealers of the other world.
This was Deng Hisi's last resort … His initial wish was to control the entire Brandt Island, and then borrow the power of Brandt Island to bring his compatriots away from the control of the gods.
But this was already impossible, so he had to at least make those gods and Holy Spirits pay the price.
"Are you finally willing to communicate with us?
My lost compatriots. "
A voice rang out in Deng Xiyi's mind. Deng Xiyi didn't reply to this voice … he was using his own thoughts to communicate with the other party.
"I can feel your anger, but no matter how much power I give you, it's impossible to deal with so many of the last descendants of the God Eater God, so I can only borrow some other power."
Just as this voice finished speaking, another stone tablet beside Deng Xiesi suddenly lit up with a deep purple light.
Deng Xiyi watched as the dark purple energy overflowed from the stone tablet and gathered. In the end, it gathered into an object that looked like a beating heart and floated in the air.
He did not dare to reach out and touch the object that was beating like a heart.
This was because this thing was even more evil than the power of the Holy Spirits and the power of Blood Qi. This thing was the seed of the abyss.
With Deng Xiesi's current weakened state, he didn't know if he could suppress the power from the Abyss.
Therefore, Deng Xi used some floating magic to drive the pulsating Abyssal Seed into the depths of the forbidden land.
This was the true core of Brandt Island. Deng Xiesi didn't intend to let this Abyssal Seed contaminate Brandt Island, because … this seed couldn't do that at all.
Brandt Island was an existence on the same level as the Abyss. However, this seed couldn't contaminate the entire Brandt Island, but it could contaminate the master of this island.
The master of this crystallized island was still in deep sleep.
Deng Xiesi arrived in front of the master of the crystallized island. Right now, this master of the island was still an egg, or a huge 'cocoon'. Deng Xiesi spent a long time communicating with it.
Originally, after it hatched, it would become Deng Xiesi's right-hand man. Unfortunately … Deng Xiesi could no longer see that day, or rather, it could no longer wait for that day.
The Holy Spirits already had absolute control over Brandt Island. This master of the crystallized island would also become a part of the Holy Spirits!
He wouldn't allow that to happen.
"You … it's time to flap your wings." Deng Xiesi controlled the Abyssal Seed in his hand and pushed it towards the dragon cocoon.
The Abyssal Seed was successfully absorbed by it. The originally pure white dragon cocoon was slowly enveloped by a dark purple color.
The incubation speed was already accelerating!
In a few days … the Holy Spirits on this island would face their most troublesome enemy.
No … this was far from enough. He had raised Brandt Island with his own hands. The world that should be destroyed … was the world of the Holy Spirits!
…
The Jumping Nucleus won against The Sovereign Descends. In E-Sports, victory was the deciding factor.
This victory instantly silenced all the negative comments about the Jumping Nucleus on the internet.
At night, Mo Shigui also took some time to go back to the stronghold to take a look. He also began to prepare the final strategy for the New World Square.
The preparation didn't last for too long. During this period, Mo Shigui was constantly troubled by one thing.
That thing was … after the end of the competition, his girlfriend asked him "How do I get the right to play with the Holy Spirits?"
This wasn't the first time Mo Shigui's girlfriend asked this question. During the second Holy Spirit test, his girlfriend had asked Mo Shigui, "I want to play Holy Spirits with you guys."
At that time, Mo Shigui used "I can't do anything about it" as an excuse. However, after the third test, the influence of the Holy Spirits gradually increased.
More and more players and even people who didn't play games knew about the Holy Spirits. However, the speed at which the Holy Spirits were released remained the same.
Right now, Mo Shigui was very conflicted. On one hand, he wanted to bring his girlfriend to tour the beautiful world of the Holy Spirits. On the other hand, he felt a sense of guilt.
He couldn't tell where this guilt came from. It wasn't until he arrived at the tree hole and saw Freya sleeping soundly on the bed that Mo Shigui understood where this guilt came from.
Freya was just an NPC.
He couldn't convince himself with this kind of reason anymore.
It was like raising a kitten for a long time. Even if Mo Shigui didn't want to treat her as family, if the kitten got into an accident or got lost, Mo Shigui would be very annoyed.
Unlike other Holy Spirits players who happily called Freya "wife", Mo Shigui thought of Freya as a … daughter?
He couldn't tell what his feelings for Freya were. Most importantly, what did Freya think of him?
Mo Shigui knocked his head lightly. How would an NPC think of a player?
She was either a wallet or a tool.
"When did you come?"
Mo Shigui's movement woke Freya up from her sleep. When she opened her eyes and saw Mo Shigui, a happy expression appeared on her face. She was about to lift the bed sheet and stand up.
Mo Shigui raised his hand to stop her …
"I don't have any quests here. Go back to sleep, I'll leave in a bit." Mo Shigui was only there to check on Freya's status.
"Are you … leaving again?"
Freya's hands kept rubbing a corner of the quilt. Her eyes that were looking at Mo Shigui dimmed a little. "Holy Spirit, may you have a safe journey."
Preset dialogue?
Mo Shigui was stunned for a moment. Ever since his Freya's intelligence increased, it had been a long time since she said a preset dialogue.
However, this sentence was something that Freya had a certain probability of saying every time a player left the room.
Could it be that she's throwing a tantrum because I haven't visited her for a long time?
If Mo Shigui remembered correctly, he had been busy conquering the New World Square and had not visited Freya in the stronghold for almost five days.
Without Freya's Guidance Stone, his Freya could only stay in this tree hole and wait for the Holy Spirits to return.
Logically speaking … a puppet should not have the emotion of loneliness, but her Freya had long since learned this … useless emotion.
"After some time, maybe I can bring you to my world."
Mo Shigui remembered that as long as … they conquered the New World Square and built the portal.
Then they could use Freya's Guidance Stone to bring Freya to the Inner World for a day trip.
"Your world?"
Mo Shigui's Freya seemed to have thought of something. She quickly lay down on the bed and buried half of her face in the quilt. Only her eyes revealed a little joy as she looked at Mo Shigui and said, "I will pray for you and wait for your victorious return."
It was still a preset dialogue, but it didn't matter.
Mo Shigui was going to grind challenge tickets overnight.
