A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 359: Consciousness and Spirituality

As soon as the Elf King finished speaking, the gentle breeze that could be felt on the observatory disappeared instantly.

Silently, endless thunderclouds covered an area of ​​nearly 100 kilometers. The lightning and black clouds that kept streaking across the night sky seemed to be very close, and the flashing purple light illuminated the faces of every extraordinary creature that came to the top of the tower.

“Boom. Boom.!”

Thunderous roars continued to echo in the sky, shrouding nearly a hundred kilometers in darkness where one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. Only the purple lightning that streaked across the sky emitted rays of light, allowing many extraordinary creatures to see their surroundings clearly.

Lilith, whose face was already a little pale, had already grasped the uniqueness of the "moon", and Omibella even stepped back a distance, with a trace of horror in her eyes. And Sonia Solem, who was standing in front of the sage, also showed a trace of horror and confusion, because this lightning was not caused by him.

"Wow."

Bolts of lightning gathered and condensed into a vortex above the tower, forming a giant spear made of the power of thunder, pointing directly at Sonya Solem's head.

The Elf King's face instantly stiffened, and he began to use his own status and the authority of the "Sailor" path to forcibly interfere with the thunderclouds near him, but unfortunately, it had no effect at all.

Sonia Solem murmured in a pale voice, "It's impossible. I should be the master of storm and thunder. Why don't they listen to my command?"

The sage smiled faintly and said to the Elf King, "Of course it's because you are not strong enough, your status is not high enough, the authority you hold is not comprehensive enough, and you don't understand the power contained in the Beyonder characteristics as well as I do."

Now, He is equivalent to a special angel who has digested the Sequence 2 potion and has Essence and Old Contamination in his body. His true status is comparable to that of a Sequence 1 angel.

Moreover, He was now on the observatory platform in the observatory tower, with this ritual constantly running, blessing Him. In this state, His power was even slightly higher than that of a Sequence One angel who had just been promoted and had not yet digested the magic potion.

The sage narrowed his eyes and continued to speak to Sonya Solem, "What did you say you wanted to do?"

The Elf King looked at the Thunder Spear above his head, gritted his teeth, and said loudly, "I am here to take back the Elf King City that belongs to me!"

"Boom!"

The thunder spear that shook the sky roared down, as if a god had thrown a spear from space. The terrible lightning illuminated the sky for hundreds of kilometers, and the terrifying thunder even echoed over the "Dragon's Nest" on the other side of the continent.

"Clap."

The Elf King, who was emitting a slight smell of meat, fell down on the observatory with his body charred black, looking like he was about to die.

When Sonia Solem regained some consciousness, the sage asked him again with a smile on his face, "What did you say you were here for? I'm old and my hearing isn't working well. Can you repeat it again, young man?"

A terrifying vortex of thunderclouds gathered in the sky just above the Observatory Tower, emitting brilliant lightning that illuminated Sonia Solem, whose face was like a piece of black charcoal.

The Elf King fell to the ground, tremblingly picked up a half-burnt seal, and whispered, "Why is your power so strong? Obviously, you and I are at the same level."

Sonia Solem looked at the sage with stubbornness in his eyes, his expression was full of indomitable spirit and madness.

"Boom!"

Another flash of lightning streaked across the night sky. The Elf King, who had recovered a little, once again exuded a meaty aroma, and even a trace of hot air came out of his mouth. His body was flickering, and unstable electric currents continued to flow through his torso.

The sage raised his eyebrows and asked the Elf King with a little impatience, "Soniatholem, what did you want to say just now? Can you repeat it again?"

Lying on the observatory, unable to stand up, Sonia Solem's body trembled violently, his eyes seemed to become clearer, and the indomitable spirit and madness on his face almost disappeared. This feeling of despair reminded him of the fear he felt when he faced the God War before he was promoted. The trembling feeling that could destroy him in an instant instantly emerged from his past memories.

It was not until this moment that Sonia Solem seemed to understand Lilith's strange attitude, and realized that the one who struck him with two lightning bolts seemed to be one of the "gods" who triggered the shallow sea god war.

The Elf King immediately activated the charred seal in his hand, causing it to emit a soft blue light and quickly repair his injuries. He slowly propped up his body and slowly showed a bitter smile to the sage, "I just said that I would give the ruined Elf King City to the sage."

The sage nodded with satisfaction, "You gave it to me, right? I received the kindness of the Elf King. I am very grateful for the gift from the elves."

Seeing that crazy look just now, he thought Sonya Solem would rather die than surrender. After all, the thoughts of a madman are different from those of a "normal person" like him, so it is a bit difficult to figure out.

Glancing at Lilith and Omybella's alert looks, the sage waved his hand, and the clouds in the sky instantly dissipated, with stars falling from the sky again, as if the thunderclouds in the sky just now were just an illusion.

However, Soniatholem, whose body was still emitting strands of uncontrolled electric current from time to time, told them that this was not an illusion. A certain elf king who controlled thunder was almost struck to death by lightning just now.

The sage waved his hand, and a huge table and four chairs of different sizes rose up on the observatory. He sat on one of the chairs that fit his body size, and with a tap of his fingers, stacks of steaming cakes and four cups of wolfberry tea appeared.

"Please sit down. You're welcome." The sage pointed to the chair and then to the pastries and wolfberry tea on the table.

When Lilith saw the sage's attitude, the tension in her heart relaxed a little. She sat on one of the chairs, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and slowly tasted it.

Seeing this, Omibella also slowly walked towards the largest chair. When He sat down, a space spell flashed through His body, making the size of His body adapt to the current environment, causing a hint of curiosity to flash in the eyes of the giant queen.

After his condition recovered a little, Sonya Solem sat on one of the seats as if nothing had happened, picked up a cookie and put it in his mouth.

After a while, Lilith finished the cake in her hand with a nostalgic look, drank the wolfberry tea, and looked deeply at the human figure sitting in front of her.

The sage looked at Lilith and said seriously, "Tell me, ancestor of the blood clan, what do you want to consult me ​​about? As long as I know it, you can get the answer from me if you pay the corresponding price." Lilith exhaled slowly, glanced at the teacup and cake in her hand, and asked in a serious tone, "I want to know, are you from the great country with an ancient history in the East?"

The sage did not answer immediately, but raised a finger, "A demigod with extraordinary properties belonging to 'plants'."

Lilith immediately took out a Beyonder attribute and placed it on the table.

The sage crossed his fingers and placed them flat on the table, then asked calmly, "Then shall we make this public so that the other two can also hear my reply?"

Lilith glanced at Sonia Solem and Omibella, who were already looking at her, and replied, "Make it public, so that they can hear the answer too."

"Yes, before that catastrophe, 'I' was indeed a member of that ancient great country." The sage answered the question in a clear but meaningful way.

Except for Omybella who didn't know much about ancient history, the expressions of Lilith and Sonia Solem changed again.

After a moment, Lilith asked the sage again with a gleam in her eyes, "As a survivor of the Old Ones, how could you survive the second disaster?"

The sage looked at Lilith with some surprise. He did not expect that the ancestor of the blood race would ask this question. "A Beyonder characteristic of the same status as you."

Lilith's expression froze for a moment. A Beyonder Characteristic of the same status as Him now, the price was somewhat shocking. However, He still gritted his teeth, took out a Beyonder Characteristic that shone with metallic luster, and placed it on the table.

The sage's eyes narrowed slightly, and the moment he saw the metal, an invisible force was firmly attracting his attention, a desire to devour it.

Obviously, this is a piece that is mainly composed of the "Informer" path sequence 2, and is mixed with the extraordinary characteristics of many other paths.

The "Generalist" path and the "Secret Peer" path are adjacent paths, and both belong to the source essence [Knowledge Wilderness]. At a high sequence, this path can be changed for promotion. Of course, if He wants to change paths for promotion, He needs not this Sequence 2 Beyonder characteristic, but a Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic.

However, this Sequence 2 Extraordinary Characteristic also has value for the Sage that other Extraordinary Characteristic do not have. After all, it is a high-sequence Extraordinary Characteristic under the same source quality. It can be used to create some things and it is still helpful to enhance one's own strength.

The sage looked at Omibella who was drinking tea slowly and Sonya Solem who was eating cookies, then looked at Lilith and asked again, "Are you going to reveal the answer to them this time as well?"

Lilith said without hesitation, "Not open to the public."

The sage waved his hand, and a soundproof barrier rose instantly, blocking the sight of Omybella and Sonya Solem, and preventing his communication with Lilith from being recorded by the spiritual world.

"The fact that I was able to survive the second disaster needs to start from the beginning."

"From the moment the catastrophe occurred and the surface civilization was destroyed, a piece of the lowest-level Beyonder characteristic merged into my body. Loss of control and madness came in an instant."

"Maybe it was fate's blessing. The thing that merged into my body at that time allowed me to master some mental abilities, like a life-saving rope that pulled me back from the edge of loss of control and madness. Although my body and spirit were deformed at that time, I still survived and lived for hundreds of years with this power."

"During this period of time, my spirituality has been 'transformed' by the spiritual imprint deeply buried in my body's extraordinary characteristics. It has begun to have some characteristics that are different from other extraordinary creatures. Its nature is relatively more chaotic, and it also carries a trace of high-level characteristics."

Hearing this, Lilith's pupils suddenly contracted, and she looked at the human figure in front of her in horror.

What is the spiritual imprint in the extraordinary characteristics? Although He, the ancestor of the blood race, has not yet figured it out, this source is definitely a formidable existence. After all, this spiritual imprint is now the biggest threat to His continued survival in this world, without a doubt.

Now, this survivor of the old days possessed a trace of high-level characteristics of the spiritual imprint within the extraordinary characteristics, which could not help but shock Lilith.

"Not long ago, the second catastrophe occurred. Although it was not as horrific as the first one, it also covered the entire world. The Beyonder characteristics that were scattered in various regions could not be faked. This was also an extremely dangerous thing for me at the time."

"Perhaps it was destined. On that day, another Beyonder characteristic fell from the sky and merged into my body. Although it was still the weakest Beyonder characteristic, it was a disaster that was difficult to resist for me who had just managed to balance the power in my body."

"The loss of control and the distortion happened almost at the same time, and I inevitably went crazy. But fate seems to be so clever, and when I refused to resist, a miracle happened. My spirit body recovered from the distortion, and the spirituality that possessed a trace of high-level characteristics also became one of the reasons why I have the strength I have now."

The sage picked up the wolfberry tea on the table and took a sip slowly.

After a long while, Lilith came back to her senses from this "answer" that shocked the whole world. She looked at the sage with a serious look and asked uncertainly, "You can create miracles under reluctance, is it because of the spirituality with high-level characteristics?"

The sage shook his head and said with a smile, "No, it's not. Although that little bit of high-level characteristics is important, it is only part of the miracle and is not indispensable."

"More importantly, it was the power of my own consciousness. That was the most indispensable reason why I survived the Second Disaster."

Lilith's eyes brightened, and the madness hidden in her eyes seemed to be suppressed to the point where it was almost invisible. "Does consciousness also have power? Is it related to spirituality? Can it even fight against madness and get rid of the spiritual imprint of the extraordinary characteristics?!"

The sage nodded, "Yes."

Although the underlying rules and logic of this mysterious universe have not yet been fully analyzed.

But He can be sure that consciousness and spirituality are the most important in this universe, and even run through the promotion of extraordinary systems such as the "potion system".

After all, the special feeling of "I am who I am" is difficult to realize in a universe without certain underlying rules.
