Growth value: 1002/1600
……

In the hall, Xin Lailai, who had been meditating all night, slowly opened his eyes and looked at the growth value on the title interface that finally broke through a thousand, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

Ever since they obtained the Heart of the Netherworld, as long as they wear the title of the Last Magic Emperor, the growth value of the title is increasing all the time. In addition, they have the advantage of having two people, so the growth rate of the Last Magic Emperor can be said to be increasing rapidly in recent times.

If they continue like this, and if the progress of this world drags on a little longer, they might be able to directly obtain their first six-star title in this world.

"Tsk, this place is too uncomfortable to meditate in. I should have taken a nap."

A murmur with a hint of resentment was heard, and Yamu, who was not far away, and the Death Keeper who had been sitting at the door all night, opened their eyes one after another. The Death Keeper took a glance at the black rainstorm that had subsided outside the barrier and did not make any other moves, while Yamu rubbed his brows and muttered a few words. Xin Lailai did not say much about this, or he could understand the reason why Yamu complained.

Unlike him and the Death Bearer, Yamu, as an agent, has mastered the meditation technique that allows him to have the keenest perception of the environment among the three of them. He is even able to hear the voice of the world's will clearly.

In other words, the state of the world has an extremely obvious impact on the agent's meditation experience. Considering that he, who is not an agent, often heard all kinds of sharp mutterings during his meditation last night, it is easy to imagine what Yamu's meditation experience last night was like as an agent.

——That feeling is probably no less than the experience of when you want to have a good sleep and your neighbor suddenly starts decorating your house at full speed.

"Now that we are all awake, let's have breakfast and start discussing the next plan."

Xin Lailai looked around, glanced at the little white saint who was rubbing her eyes and crawling out of the sarcophagus, and used magic chips to construct several crystal tables and chairs that could exist for several hours, and spoke.

"can."

"Huh...it's finally time to eat. If you guys still want to meditate tonight, go ahead and meditate on your own. I won't keep you company."

Yamu looked at the dining table in front of him, took a long breath, found a place to sit down, rubbed his brows and complained, and at the same time placed the food and tableware sealed in the storage space on the dining table. Xin Lailai directly rubbed a flame to wrap it and quickly heated it.

After a while, an enchanting aroma of food spread directly in the hall, causing the eyes of the little white saint girl, who was being carried by Ling Yuzi to the smallest seat, to light up immediately, and her little face was full of curiosity and anticipation.

- In fact, the issue of food in the world after the team was formed was originally the responsibility of the Death Carrier, but after Xin Lailai and Yamu took a look at the list of all nutrient solution + cost-effective dry food, the food matters fell directly into Yamu's hands.

"First, regarding yesterday's treasure chest gains, there are a total of 9359 treasure chests, including 23 legendary treasure chests. Does anyone of you have any use for them?"

Xin Lailai glanced at his already filled treasure chest space and the data sent by the Death Keeper, and spoke.

According to the content of the team contract, the income from the treasure chest should be distributed in the ratio of 433. However, neither Xin Lailai, the Death Bearer, nor Yamu are short-sighted. Therefore, if one of the three people temporarily needs to open a large number of treasure chests to make up for certain equipment or ability needs, the other two will basically allow the other party to choose a part of the treasure chests first.

"No."

"Well, I might be able to use some of it, but there's no rush now. How about you, Brother Black Sword?"

"Same here. When necessary, I have a secret method that can transform these equipment into pure soul energy and detonate them. However, that is the last resort."

"Tsk tsk, you are worthy of being Brother Black Sword. There is not a single spot on your body that doesn't cost a fortune."

"each other."

Xin Lailai glanced at Yamu and replied.

As far as he knew, Yamu had also learned the secret method of "accumulating momentum" that 04296 had used at the beginning. And according to 04296's description, the amount of money spent on that thing was not comparable to ordinary abilities. Add to that the cost of improving Yamu's three passive skills and the professional ability of his agent, and it turned out that the other party's expenditure on Paradise Points was not much less than theirs.

To be more precise, there is no such thing as someone who can become a member of the outer-level echelon without spending money. After all, in order to ensure the strength of the outer-level echelon these days, one needs to practice three technical skills at a minimum, plus expenses in other places. It can be said that every contractor in the outer-level echelon is a big spender.

Even though they have five master-level passive skills, in the end they are only slightly prominent within this expenditure range. It's just that unlike Yamu and the Death Bearer, they can't rely on the resource advantages of the inheritance to cover 1/4~1/3 of the expenses. Instead, they even need to buy career templates at their own expense, which makes their finances seem particularly tight.

"Well, that's it for the treasure chest for now. The next question is about the next course of action. Here is some map information I found using the Unholy Ghosts and Soul Anchor Points last night."

After a brief chat about the treasure chest, Xin Lailai's mind moved, and the magic power in his body surged out, transforming into a 3D map in mid-air. The simulations of various terrains and scenery on the map were lifelike, and the location and strength of the evil ghost group were marked with demonic power.

"According to intelligence, the area we are in now is a rare safe zone. The closer we get to the restricted area, the denser the number of foul ghosts will be, and the stronger they will be. At the same time, from this point on, the deep space will begin to show signs of being eroded. In other words, if we use the long-distance teleportation array to travel, we can only get here at most, and we will have to switch to walking from then on."

"Once we cross this position, the intensity of the erosion and the strength of the enemy we face will increase significantly. Considering the fact that the northern restricted area is at least 70,000 kilometers away from here, I think we'd better be fully prepared before taking action."

As Xin Lailai spoke, he first pointed out their current location with a crystal hand, then headed north and stopped at a location about ten thousand kilometers away from the tower.

Yesterday, after using Crystal Gravitation Technique and the Deathbringer to harvest the nearby army of evil spirits, he specially used the soul seal to enslave a group of evil crows, allowing them to explore northward with his soul anchor at a speed of no less than 400m/s, and finally confirmed that the safe boundary for long-distance space transmission was the area he had just pointed out.

Once you pass that area, the intensity of the foul power in the air will increase significantly. At the same time, the originally relatively safe deep space will become extremely chaotic, giving people the feeling of entering another world all of a sudden.

As for the information about the areas further ahead, although Xin Lailai wanted to explore them, the group of crows he controlled only lasted less than three minutes after rushing into the deep erosion area before they were slaughtered by the filthy creatures inside, leaving him no way to continue exploring.

"Holy…wall."

Suddenly, a hoarse and deep voice sounded, and the Black Knight, who was sitting opposite Xin Lailai, looked down at the 3D map in front of him. After observing for a while, he stared at the location pointed out by Xin Lailai and said in a voice full of traces of time: "That... is... the Holy Wall. Eve... Lin, it's... over there."

Evelyn?
When Xin Lailai heard the words of the Black Knight, his eyes moved slightly. He quickly searched for relevant information about this name in his mind, and finally locked onto a small paragraph in the World Information Character Directory:
"Evelyn Law: One of the last guardians of the White Witch. She retreated into the restricted area with other guardians fifteen years ago. The rest of her information is unknown."

"You mean, there is a guardian like you who is responsible for protecting Lily and other little white saints in that position?"

Xin Lailai looked up at the Black Knight and spoke.

When he and Yamu were treating the Black Knight together, he and Yamu asked each other for a lot of information about this world. The most important of which was what happened after the Black Knights and other guardians evacuated to the restricted area with the last White Saint.

According to the description of the Black Knight, after the last White Saint fell, the other party and the other seven guardians, led by the First Guardian, took the White Saint back to the restricted area. Then they watched the First Guardian holding the White Saint and entering the depths of the restricted area alone. Seven days later, he rushed out from the depths of the restricted area with eight little White Saints. During the riot in the restricted area, they told the Black Knight that this was the last hope to save the White Saint, and asked the Black Knight and other guardians to take the little White Saints to escape to a safe place and hide, waiting for a turning point.

After that, it is a clichéd but speechless story about how one Little White Saint after another died in the filth, and one guardian after another chose to stay alone in the White Kingdom to buy time for the surviving Little White Saint under the siege of the filth army.

At the end of the story, the Black Knight, a master of swordsmanship, led the only surviving Little White Saint and fought their way out of the siege alone. They rushed to the tower that was supposed to be used as the base of a new isolation barrier but was forced to be abandoned because of the fierce attack of filth. They used a simple barrier to protect the only surviving Little White Saint for fifteen years.

As for the whereabouts of other guardians, due to time constraints and some logical considerations, they did not conduct detailed inquiries.

After all, since the other guardians have not come to join the Black Knight in the past fifteen years, it means that those guardians are basically in danger, and it is unlikely that they will stay in one position after becoming evil spirits. In this case, normally speaking, there is no need to ask much.

Rather, the most abnormal thing was that the Black Knight suddenly said that he knew the location of a guardian.

"Let me confirm first. You are not referring to the location where you and Evelin were separated?"

Sinlailai spoke up and asked the Black Knight.

"No... I am sure of it because I can sense the location of the relic."

"I can... sense that Evelyn's... relics are located... behind the Holy Wall."

"If you don't believe it, you can ask her. She also has the ability to sense it."

As the Black Knight spoke, he lowered his head to look at the Little White Saint who was happily tasting the delicious food beside him. The Little White Saint looked at the Black Knight who suddenly looked at her, then looked at Xin Lailai and the others, nodded her head vigorously, and then continued to taste the donut in her hand.

"In that case, there will be no problem. Brother Yamu, I'll leave the teleportation to you. If it's this distance, how long will it take?"

After getting a positive answer, Xin Lailai nodded slightly, then looked at Yamu beside him and asked a question.

"Three hours, after all, we have children here, so we can only think of something gentle."

Yamu shrugged and answered without asking any further questions about this operation.

"Well, then you have to prepare the teleportation array, Brother Yamu. We will try to prepare other things during this time."

Xin Lailai said, and after looking around at everyone, he said:

"I will be responsible for preparing some useful props and runes, as well as optimizing the spells in the barrier stone. Ling Yuzi will be responsible for obtaining information about Evelyn from the Black Knight and formulating a corresponding plan. As for the rest... How is the forging level on your side, Deathbringer?"

"If you want to build it, it won't be a problem if it's dark purple or below."

"What about maintenance?"

"If the damage is not serious, anything below Legendary level will do."

The Death Bearer replied calmly. Xin Lailai nodded slightly when she heard it, and took out Yuan Mo and all of her own equipment. She also took out the World Silk produced by Xiao Gu, some scraps of Dark Aluminum Steel, and the protective clothing she had used when she was researching spells, and said to the Death Bearer:

"In that case, I would like to ask you to help check my and Yamu's equipment, and use these materials to help Lily make a piece of armor similar to the black dragon armor we wore in the last world, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, the Death Holder glanced at the pile of things Xin Lailai had displayed, was silent for a while, and finally spoke:

"Five hours."

"That's okay, we have plenty of time."

Xin Lailai said, not caring that it took two hours longer than the preparation of the teleportation array.

They were exploring the danger zone, not doing anything that would lead to their own death from which they would never return. In this case, the more prepared they were, the better.

As for wasting time, with Lily and the Black Knight being the only two survivors in the entire world, the worst result would be missing the last chance to save the world. In that case, the worst that could happen is that the Deathbringer would use the Nether Seed, giving the world a free death, which would be considered a good deed.

Although the suggestions made by the deceased are often a little extreme, it must be admitted that the other party's suggestions often go straight to the heart of the problem.

For example, destroying the world, based on Xin Lailai's experience and the intelligence at hand, this is indeed the best way to deal with abyss anomalies... or the most deterrent method.

- At least, rather than being morally blackmailed by the abyss characteristics for the survival of the entire world, he indeed prefers to use the life and death of the entire world to morally blackmail those abnormal characteristics that are almost becoming spirits.

——As long as they can destroy the world faster than the abnormal characteristics, then the abnormal characteristics will not be able to threaten them with the survival of the world. This is the truth he realized!
