Chapter 208 The Final Act of Qiancang
Modi ultimately failed to achieve his goal of spending the night on the dragon's bed.
He simply allowed his men to occupy the entire capital city, including the imperial palace.
This former political center and capital of the Great Qian Dynasty is now in ruins. After Emperor Qian left the country, the core capital of the divine kingdom was restored to its original state and is no longer intact.
Everywhere there were ravines, polluted liquids, and unclean things born from corpses; outside the city was a hell of flesh and radiation.
Although this place was no longer of any value, Modi still chose to rest here temporarily and take the opportunity to adapt to the new power.
The Blood God Cult soldiers gradually withdrew from their fanatical state and began to clean up the battlefield.
The horde of the dead transformed back into countless Styx worms, tasked with cleaning up the radioactive contamination on the ground, especially the radioactive lakes outside the city.
Several days later, Modi awoke from his meditation.
As soon as he awoke, he issued orders to the entire Blood God Cult.
Inside and outside the capital, all the Blood God invaders stopped what they were doing and showed genuine smiles.
But that smile had a hint of bloodlust in it.
The Blood Sea Banner flew atop the floating fortress once more, and one Blood God rune after another lit up, emitting high-temperature blood mist, resembling an engine fueled by flesh and blood.
The army boarded the floating fortress in an orderly fashion, and the trumpeter sounded the horns made from the horns of the primordial demons. Amidst the sound of the horns, the floating fortress set anchor and disappeared into countless streams of runic data.
"Is this... the data transmission technology of the Heavenly Book?"
Seconds later, eight floating fortresses reappeared. You Qingxiang stood on the outside of one of the fortresses, watching in amazement as his body returned to its data form.
"I almost forgot that although this place is very real, it is ultimately a virtual world constructed by the Heavenly Book. Rune data is still the foundation of everything."
He chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Styx, that's rather unfair of you. Bringing out something like this is practically cheating, isn't it?"
"I didn't use any access to the Heavenly Book, so how can it be considered cheating? Since the agreement doesn't acknowledge this, then I'm not cheating; I'm just making reasonable use of the world's characteristics."
Modi waved his hand lightly, denying it outright, "It's right here, it's an objective law of the world. I can't just look at it and not use it just to make other Masters feel more involved, can I?"
He's not a game designer, so he doesn't need to care about what other people think.
"Instead of focusing on those things, Grandmasters should come and see what's below."
He looked into the distance and saw nothing but red and green. The world below seemed to be a texture composed of only these two colors, making him feel uncomfortable both physically and psychologically.
Upon closer inspection, the red and green pixels below occasionally twitch and move, changing constantly and without any pattern, giving a distorted and dizzying feeling.
"Is this the Ten Thousand Mountains? I remember it wasn't like this when I came here before."
You Qingxiang raised an eyebrow. With his sharp eyesight, he could clearly see what those red and green pixels were.
Those were plants intertwined with flesh and blood, constantly fighting each other for territory, nutrients, and sunlight.
These plants, which combine animal characteristics, are even more ferocious than animals. Every time they kill an enemy, they completely devour its corpse, leaving not a trace.
The flesh-and-blood plants that survive the battles will grow into towering trees, their roots buried deep in the earth, taking everything from an entire area and leaving no space for other plants to survive.
"Is this something the Hundred Poisons Cult and Umbrella Corporation came up with together?" You Qingxiang looked down at the ground and could see the flesh-and-blood plants expanding northward.
There should have been a defensive line built by the imperial court there, but with the collapse of the court, this defensive line was completely lost.
"The Gu worms of the Hundred Poisons Sect, combined with the virus of the Protective Umbrella, together constitute this blasphemous group."
Modi stood at the edge of the floating fortress and saw a fleshy plant with blood vines and many eyeballs growing on its tendrils, all of which were staring in their direction.
The blood vines danced wildly, spreading towards the floating fortress. Even from a great distance, the two could feel the malevolence emanating from them.
"Indiscriminate bombing, let's just go for the ground cleanup."
The order was given by Mordi, and an ominous red light shone on the surface of the floating fortress battle group.
Inside some seemingly meaningless crystals embedded on the surface of the fortress, enormous energy is gathered.
A crimson beam of light shot out from inside the crystal, striking the ground covered in a jungle of flesh and blood.
A single beam of light can dissolve flesh and plants within a radius of 100 meters, turning them into a pool of blood.
With multiple approaches combined, it can directly destroy several demonic trees comparable to primordial demons.
The floating fortresses were dispersed to different areas, thoroughly clearing the land and forcefully curbing the spread of the flesh jungle, even pushing it back.
"It's still too slow." You Qingxiang shook his head. "Even though your fortress has strong firepower, there are too many flesh and blood plants below."
"Indeed, in addition, their roots are deep underground, so the dissolving beam can hardly reach them."
Modi shook the flask in his hand, which also emitted red and green light.
"To overcome this obstacle, I specially formulated a virus."
Based on the Blood Plague and samples previously collected on the battlefield, he induced the Blood Plague to evolve into a form that targets the flesh jungle.
It was the small, glowing object inside the flask in his hand.
Now, all that's needed is to spread them, and the entire jungle of flesh and blood will perish at an extremely rapid pace.
Behind him, a vast horde of death swept past, catching the blood plague virus he tossed into the air and sending it flying into the flesh jungle.
The new blood plague spread rapidly within the swarm of the dead, following their flight paths to the earth, beginning to infect the flesh jungle.
"Alright, time to deal with the deserters." Modi clapped his hands, his body transforming into a stream of runic data.
"A deserter?" You Qingxiang asked, "What do you mean, fellow Daoist...?"
"Master of the Hundred Poisons Sect, please wait here for a moment, I will be right back."
The rune data stream dissipated, reappeared somewhere in the Ten Thousand Mountains, and reconstructed his body.
He looked around, and although the area below was a similar jungle of flesh and blood, he managed to pinpoint a wisp of life force within it.
"I've found you."
The Yuan Tu A Bi appeared in his hand, and Mo Di casually swung two swords downwards.
Deep underground, the old man in green robes, who was preparing new Gu worms, stopped what he was doing and suddenly felt uneasy.
"Strange, why do I have a feeling that disaster is about to strike? Could it be that the Blood God Cult has come knocking on our door?"
He instinctively dismissed the idea, laughing self-deprecatingly, "Haha, why would I have such a dream? He couldn't possibly find me so quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sword whistled down from above, and in an instant, the old man in green robes crumbled into nothingness.
Between the underground and the surface, there is a deep valley with a smooth cut. Sharp sword energy is attached to the rock walls. As soon as the old man in green robes flew out of the valley, he crashed into the sword again and was completely annihilated.
"Done."
Modi sheathed his sword and headed straight for the next location instead of staying there.
After ascending to godhood, he could see many things that ordinary people could not see, and even mastered abilities such as locking souls over a thousand miles.
Unless one reaches his level, the old man in the green robe will never understand how he was exposed.
Two more sword strikes were unleashed, and the last green-robed individual perished.
Another man-made canyon has appeared in the Hundred Poisons Sect's stronghold of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
In Jiangzhou, at the underground headquarters of Umbrella Corporation, the four reunite.
"That person from the Hundred Poisons Sect is dead."
Xu Hui checked the mission information again. "Based on the God's hints, it's not hard to guess that there are only two masters left in this world: us and the Blood God. We can return at any time."
"Then what are we waiting for? If we don't return soon, that Blood God might come knocking on our door," Miao Guang suggested. "A deity who has completed the path to godhood is guaranteed to be at least a five-star."
"Perhaps He is also a powerful figure among the Five Stars. Don't forget that He also cultivates martial arts in this world. With the combination of spirit and body, His power will only be stronger," Huo Wen said in a deep voice.
Xu Hui nodded and then showed the Blood God Talisman on the back of his hand.
"We're lucky this time to have met an outsider. Our next mission is a team battle, so maybe this mark will come in handy."
"But if you bring in a five-star god, the main god will definitely increase the difficulty. Perhaps he will send a stronger team, or perhaps he will provide the enemy with potential leverage. You have to think about this carefully," Fu Yuxi warned.
"If our enemy is insignificant, or about the same strength as us, then there is naturally no need to use this."
Xu Hui calmly explained, pulling down his sleeve to cover the talisman.
"But if we encounter real difficulties, this is the only thing we can use."
"Xu Hui is right. I also hope we won't have to use this, but when the time comes, we still have to use it... Alright, it's time to go back, or that Blood God will come knocking on our door."
Huo Wen stood up and turned to look at the shadow beside him. "Master of Subtlety, please sign this agreement, otherwise we will not be able to take you back."
The Master of Subtlety emerged from the shadows. He was now vastly different from his former self, his face and physique constantly changing, faintly radiating the aura of a Grandmaster.
"Although I really want to meet the Blood God and the Lord of the Styx and ask them for advice on relevant experiences, it's too late no matter how I look at it."
He readily signed his name, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
"The Main God Space connects to all realms; I wonder what kind of place it is."
"I advise you not to have too high expectations; it's not a good place."
Huo Wen said something discouraging, his tone complicated.
"Looking across all the realms, the reputation of the Main God Space is not good. This is not only because the Reincarnation Squad is of mixed quality, but also because our predecessors in the previous era stirred up trouble in the realms after they established their own sects, which lowered our reputation."
"Some high-energy worlds have even explicitly prohibited the Reincarnation Team from entering. I don't know how the Supreme God has withstood the pressure from all sides and hasn't been killed by those powerful beings yet."
"Captain, you're talking bad about the God again. Be careful the God might add something to your healing beam," Miao Guang teased.
A flash of white light, and the figures of the five people seemed to be erased from thin air; their existence was completely frozen in the past.
Modi searched the etheric and astral planes but could not find them, nor could he find the passage through which they had left.
"The beings behind them use a more sophisticated teleportation technique than I do, but unfortunately, it's too sophisticated; I can hardly find any trace of it that can be deciphered."
Disappointed, Modi shook his head and looked away, turning his attention back to the booklet in front of him.
The cover is the cover of the Blood God Cult's missionary manual, but the contents inside have nothing to do with the Blood God Cult's doctrines.
The text above contains "The Four Qi and Five Flavors for Nourishing the Body" and You Qingxiang's insights on controlling Qi.
As for You Qingxiang himself, he had already left this world earlier, using the ghost immortal body constructed from celestial runes.
According to him, he made a deal with Umbrella Corporation in exchange for a magic array that leads to another world.
That was a world where all kinds of energy existed, and he would reshape his body there with pure energy.
"Could they have sold that formation to Emperor Qian as well?"
If Mo Di's guess is correct, then Emperor Qian is in trouble; he will definitely be targeted by You Qingxiang.
In a world rich in Qi, You Qingxiang can exert even greater power, truly thriving like a fish in water.
Before leaving, he left this booklet, and in return, Mordy gave him three volumes of "Blood Nerve".
This includes refining essence, cultivating qi, and the newly perfected refining spirit.
Refining the spirit, as the name suggests, is the process of cultivating a divine nature, and it also includes some aspects of meditation and the unity of body and soul.
"Since all the other Masters have left, there is no need for this world to exist."
As the last Master on the field, Mordy was certified by the Heavenly Book and won the war.
The war that he induced and created using his second authority has finally come to an end, and he has also been given the opportunity to make a wish to the Heavenly Book.
If someone else makes a wish, they can only request the Heavenly Book to grant that wish at the highest level of the second-highest authority.
But Modi already had secondary access, and with his recent analysis of the Heavenly Book, he could use the wishing channel to infiltrate it and attempt to control it.
"The most urgent task is to get rid of this world. Fortunately, I have already prepared the means to do so."
Although the Qiancang Realm is a virtual world generated by the Heavenly Book, it is actually a parasite that leeches off the surface of the real world.
By devouring the origins of the real world, it drives its own development and gradually evolves into the real world.
Given its size, Modi estimated that it would only need to devour about a quarter of the source to transform the illusory into the real.
But Modi won't give it that chance.
An endless sea of blood surged from the edge of the world, beginning to devour this world that had no future.
At the same time, the Blood God Child, who remained beside the Heavenly Book's AI, also began to invade.
Wherever the towering waves of blood passed, the false world crumbled inch by inch, extracting the essence of the real world from within.
The destruction began on the northern grasslands, and those who survived were filled with terror upon witnessing this scene.
Their two legs couldn't outrun the sea of blood; they could only let the blood waves engulf them, and their consciousness was sent back to reality.
Only the members of the Blood God Cult bathed in the sea of blood with fanatical expressions, watching their bodies disintegrate while their consciousness remained within the blood, awaiting the Blood God's next move.
The Blood God Cult was a force he had painstakingly built, so he naturally wouldn't give it up easily.
Once the sea of blood has completely engulfed the Qiancang Realm, Modi will take them out along with their memories.
