Chapter 247 A new beginning
one year later
The disappearance of the black fog and the infected bodies finally allowed the world to recover some vitality, but the world eroded by the black fog will take a long time to recover. Gaia has closed the channel to the original world. Without the infected bodies, it is natural to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Now the world is devastated, and all resources must be used to restore the world.
Therefore, humans' superpowers have been taken back by Gaia, and the world no longer needs people with superpowers. However, information about superpowers and infected bodies has been left in the genes of humans in this world, and it is possible that they will be revived along with spiritual energy at some point in the future.
Supermarket Zagros has not been taken back and is still managed by Wang Shun. It is useless for him to have this thing as he has already recovered all the weirdness in it. Anyway, he already knows the manufacturing process and can just make another one if he wants. The supermarket is operated by Gaia himself. The special items in it have been taken off the shelves and only normal daily necessities are on sale.
Zagreus was still lying at the entrance of the supermarket, eating and drinking for free as usual, but this time there was an additional person beside him, Li Ming, who looked like jade. At this moment, Li Ming was becoming more and more clear, but the pressure emanating from his body was also growing stronger and stronger. If someone with evil thoughts looked at him, they would even be blinded by the divine light emanating from his body.
With his help, Li Ming's divinity is finally complete. The divine light on his body even dyes the whole sky, and countless colorful clouds cover the city. This situation has undoubtedly attracted the attention of many people a year after the supernatural power disappeared. Zagreus standing nearby sighed. Li Ming's "becoming a god" is nothing but a fantasy of the crazy world. Now the world is a mess and there is no foundation to support Li Ming's deification. The perfection of this bit of divinity only represents that he is qualified to become a god.
As his body was continuously sucked into the sky, countless storms began to gather, and he also had to face the test of becoming a god. The first step to becoming a god was to repay the cause and effect between him and the world. To put it simply, you have to spit out as much as you eat. Now he is just a remnant soul, and becoming a god is nothing more than the obsession of the crazy world.
Li Ming's body began to dissipate directly during the ascension process, but he no longer had any human emotions and was just acting on instinct. Zagreus reached out and took back the fragments of the Mad World's deification before he dissipated, and watched as this divinity eventually merged into the original world and became a special law. These small worlds are like this, there are tens of millions of ways to become a god, but only a few can ultimately take that step. If this law cannot be passed, it can only be transformed into a Tao, adding a new law to the world. Now, due to the integration of this divinity, the world's ability to purify has been greatly enhanced.
As divinity merged into the world, the previous doomsday-like scene disappeared in an instant, and the sky became clear again.
"Oh! It's boring, let's go!"
Zagreus was already bored of staying here, so he waved his arm and threw out a card like a magic trick. There was a colorful vortex on the card, as if leading to another world. It expanded rapidly and stood above the sky like a pillar.
At this time, the crazy girls and Pans who were playing all over the world felt Zagros' call. After saying goodbye to their friends around them, they twisted their bodies slightly and turned into streams of light, flying straight into the air.
These streams of light intertwined in the air, forming a colorful picture. Each stream of light represented Zagros's followers. Zagros had seen enough and turned around to fly towards the sky.
At this moment, a man suddenly rushed out from the crowd. It was Wang Shun. His ability was allowed by Zagros, and Gaia agreed to weaken it and keep it. He looked at Zagros who was about to leave, took off his hat and shouted vigorously: "Boss, wait for me! I haven't left yet!"
Zagrous turned his head slightly and glanced at Wang Shun, but his body was still flying out of the domain. Wang Shun saw that Zagrous had no intention of stopping, and he panicked instantly. He kept chasing Zagrous' figure on the ground. He used his weakened supernatural powers to keep chasing, and even though he was tired and lost his will, his body kept moving forward.
After seeing this, Zagreus's mouth corners slightly raised, a golden pearl flashed between his fingers, and he flicked the pearl into the sacrificial card. Then he waved his sleeves, the card disappeared, and the sky became bright. At this time, he had stepped into the universe and left this world.
After arriving in the universe, he looked back at his original world, which had long been protected by layers of laws. This was the barrier of the world community. When he wanted to get closer again, he suddenly stopped. An energy that made him feel palpitations kept warning him.
"Tsk, if you don't want to let me in, then don't let me in. What's the point of scaring people?"
Although he said this, his body still retreated obediently. Then he looked around, found an uninhabited planet, and began to summon the crystal tree responsible for teleportation.
While waiting, he took out the fragment of the crazy world. After extracting what he wanted, the fragment emitting a pearl-like luster shattered into pieces. The rest were impurities and were useless. What he wanted was the last small piece of origin. It was this origin that made the original world consciousness gradually go crazy. It could also be said to be a "curse" from another world. This origin was part of the fragment of another world. Now that he had obtained it, he had obtained the complete information of that world.
After Zagros combined it with the original fragment, he was a little surprised, "No wonder they want to kill you!" He originally thought that what Crazy World had taken out was only an important part of the origin of that world. Although it was painful, he could accept it. At that time, he was still curious about which world contained such high energy.
It turned out that something more important was hidden by the Crazy World. Now, the fragment of the Origin World in his hand was more than important. It was simply taking away someone's life and cutting off their way to life.
Looking at the gradually appearing spatial fluctuations, Zagreus immediately ate the fragment of the world in his hand. Since he had obtained this thing, it meant that he had a connection with that world. It would be better for him to digest it early. If the owner came to him, it would be difficult for him to explain.
After he cleared the air around him, the space in front of him folded into thousands of gorgeous space fragments like a kaleidoscope, and then a green and transparent crystal tree emerged from the countless fragments. After seeing that it was Zagros, a crystal-like branch stretched out. Zagros stepped on the familiar leaves and returned to the inside of the crystal tree.
"I didn't expect that you would actually experience a low-level world that was blocked by the world community. It seems that you encountered a great opportunity, which allowed your strength to be qualitatively improved!"
The will of the crystal tree possessed a bionic man, sat on the chair opposite Zagros, asked other bionic men to bring food and drinks, and began to talk to him skillfully. He was also very curious that a low-level world could actually enhance the strength of a high-level god. It was a pity that it was blocked by the world community. He could only wait until it was unblocked to come and have a look. Maybe he could even get some soup.
Zagreus didn't point it out, pretending to sigh and said, "If only it were just as you said. I was clearly at level three before I entered, but now I've dropped directly to level two. I don't know how long it will take to get back to level three!"
While Zagreus was eating, he saw that there was no wine on the table. He stretched out his fingers and tapped the table lightly. A bottle of divine wine appeared out of thin air between him and the crystal tree. The android standing beside him received the command, picked up the bottle skillfully, and poured a glass for each of them.
The Crystal Tree raised its hand gracefully and gently grasped the exquisite wine glass in front of it. Looking at the fine wine brewed with the most primitive cosmic energy, a hint of surprise flashed in its eyes. It put its lips close to the rim of the glass and took a small sip.
At that moment, the possessed bionic man felt like he was in a raging flame. His body was instantly enveloped by blazing energy, emitting rolling heat waves that caused the surrounding air to become distorted. The bionic man's body began to tremble violently, and he was simply unable to withstand the huge force of the wine.
Then, as if there was a malfunction, wisps of black smoke rose from the bionic man's body, and then a crystal-like shadow walked out of it. This was the true consciousness of the World Crystal Tree.
The transparent figure grasped the wine glass in the bionic man's hand, then stretched out a slender finger and pressed lightly. With this simple movement, an invisible force cut the space around the bionic man. The World Tree's fingers brushed across the space, and after a slight sound of glass breaking was heard from the opposite side, the original bionic man was directly shattered along with the space, and was exiled into the universe with a trace of purple energy.
World Tree drank the wine in his hand, and then his whole body turned slightly red. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Is this the outermost chaotic energy? It is indeed chaotic. Only pure-blooded gods like you can adapt to it. You also said that your strength has not improved. If it was you last time, you would not be able to brew such good wine. Besides, time is the least valuable thing for us. You can just find a place to sleep for a thousand years."
"Thank you for your good words. This is the breath of a new world. Can I find this world?"
"Hold on!"
The World Tree took over the breath, crushed it with its fingers, and then closed its eyes. At the same time, unknown lights began to flash on the walls of the surrounding crystal trees, and then there came a feeling of slight weightlessness, apparently it had begun to travel through the void.
"Found it, but the distance is not close. Is the other side a dying world? You have to hurry. This world is very old and has entered a stage of decline. It may be annihilated at any time!"
"Thanks for the reminder. This is the travel fee."
Zagreus naturally knew that the other party would not live long, because the most important thing was in his stomach, so he could only throw out a ball of high-quality amethyst. He was not used to using the card representing his identity, which must have the regulatory mechanism of the world community, so he usually sealed it up. For small amounts of money like travel expenses, he could just use the divine power crystal, which was infected by his own laws and was enough to offset the cost of this train ticket.
After taking the amethyst, Crystal Tree's eyes lit up. "It contains the law of joyful emotions! If you pay with this crystal next time, I can give you a 10% discount!"
Zagreus was also a little surprised. Although the energy crystal containing emotions was a bit rare, there were still many of them in the universe. This should not be worth discounting. The crystal tree saw his doubts and smiled slightly, "If it was created by others, it can only be called an energy crystal, but it can be called a divine power barrier when it comes from your hands. It is born with the breath of gods. Gods are the most special existence in the universe.
It is easy for you to create this kind of divine crystal, but it is rare for a high-ranking god like you to create crystals of emotions. There are many races in the universe, but most of them are negative emotions such as pain. However, only gods can create positive emotions such as truth, goodness and beauty. All parties are willing to buy them at a high price. The divine crystals you provided have a restraining effect on various high-level negative energies, so this time I took advantage of you!"
After saying that, he casually took out a few energy crystals and placed them around. He picked up one and found that it was just as the World Tree said, the purity of the crystals was not at the same level at all. The rest of the crystals were directly crushed next to his divine crystals, and the emotional energy overflowing from them was also dissipated by his joy. He had never seen such low-purity energy crystals in the divine realm. If they were in the divine realm, they could be used as waste to pave the way.
The "little prince" Zagreus has lived in endless luxury and glory since he was a child. He has everything he needs provided for him, and even when he is sleeping, endless energy will automatically flow into his body and support his passive growth.
Whether in the underworld or the divine realm, he has never suffered any hardship. No wonder he always feels like he is not full. The energy in the universe has been filtered through all nine levels of the divine realm, and the energy level is much weaker than he imagined. For him, it can be eaten but it can only be regarded as a snack, not a full meal. This makes him, who is used to absorbing the chaotic power of the outer universe, a little "malnourished".
Fortunately, the universe in his body has been reopened, and it still absorbs energy from the chaos while operating on its own. His growth is to continuously improve and expand the universe in his body. At least it can keep him from going hungry. Otherwise, if the child is too hungry, he will really devour the universe directly.
Zagreus watched the World Tree find an exquisite box, carefully placed the crystal in it, and was about to close the box, but at this moment everything around him suddenly stopped, and then a familiar magnificent gate appeared in front of him. As soon as the gate appeared, endless wailing immediately filled the entire space.
"Oh my god, big trouble is coming!"
Zagreus pointed helplessly, and the power from Pluto immediately blocked the surroundings. Otherwise, the crystal tree would have died on the spot without anyone noticing.
Watching the door slowly open, with endless breath of death pouring out from just a crack, Zagreus casually closed the "window" of the crystal tree.
