One pound of meat equals one attribute point

In the center of the western continent, the Holy Mountain;

The sky is clear, with a few thin clouds rippling, the grass on the ground is soft, and the green leaves are stained with a few cool dewdrops.

At the top of the sacred mountain is a huge temple, which is also the residence of the great patriarch.

White marble pillars rise from the ground to support the framework of the temple. This building has been completed since the adventers immigrated here, and it has a history of thousands of years. Time has inevitably left traces on it, the walls are mottled, the murals above show signs of wear, and lush ivy grows upward against the shady side.

The water and soil here are rich.

There are large patches of rosemary and sage growing in front of the huge steps of the temple.

The sound of the breeze and the ocean tide came together from the other side of the cliff, gently lapping at Indra's tall body.

He has an indigo complexion and a strong build. His thick arms are decorated with ornaments woven from gold and agate, and he wears a garland of flowers on his head. As the eldest son of God, he is majestic and heroic, and is widely loved among his brothers and sisters. Especially during the period when the Great Elder was obsessed with his own research and did not care about worldly affairs, everything that happened on the Western Continent was nothing but... Indra was in charge.

He indeed lived up to the Great Elder's expectations and handled these matters in an orderly manner.

Such a high-ranking and experienced manager should have a calm demeanor and remain calm despite the collapse of the mountain in front of him. But at this time, Indra frowned slightly and paced back and forth on the ground, his whole body showing anxiety visible to the naked eye.

He hesitated slightly.

He lifted his legs and stepped onto the ancient stairs in front of him, heading towards the huge temple.

There are two guards who are more than three meters tall stationed in front of the temple. They have pale skin and are covered with golden toga robes. Their chins are slightly raised and they look very proud.

A guard on the left took a step forward and stopped in front of Indra, "Sorry, the patriarch is dealing with important matters now and it is inconvenient to meet with outsiders."

"Am I an outsider in your eyes?" Indra stopped and his voice couldn't stop rising.

Anger surged through him, and a wave of majesty swept over him in an instant.

The two guards had hesitant looks on their faces.

Another guard on the right whispered, "I don't know what you have to do, sir. If it's not troublesome, you can let me tell you."

"This is none of your business. I want to see my father now, immediately!" Indra snorted coldly, spread his arms, and pressed his strong hands on their chests.

With a slight force, the two guards were pushed away.

A stagger.

They almost fell and fell to the ground.

Indra strode forward, passed through the stone door, and came to the slightly dark corridor inside.

But he stopped after taking only a few steps.

In the arched doorway in front of him, there stood an old man with white hair and beard.

His body was slightly stooped, and he had to rely on the cane in his left hand for support. The robe on his body was plain white, with only a slight golden pattern on the chest and cuffs as decoration.

There was no expression on his face, no sadness or joy, and no aura emanating from his body.

Beams of golden sunlight swayed down from behind him, and tiny particles suspended in the air were vaguely visible.

But I don’t know why.

The moment he saw the great patriarch, Indra suddenly panicked.

He was originally full of anger, but now it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him, and it was all extinguished with a hiss.

"Father, I'm sorry, I..." Indra bowed and saluted, looking a little at a loss. He was about to open his mouth to explain the purpose of his visit, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by the patriarch.

"I already know what happened over there." The patriarch replied in a calm voice.

"How to deal with this matter?" Indra breathed a sigh of relief at first, and then asked, "The two brothers Kurikara and Garuda are now in the hands of the enemy, and their life and death are unknown. And the origin of the monster is unknown. , The strength is unusually terrifying, and the testing ground has completely lost control. I really can’t decide what to do next.”

"Nothing needs to be done next." The patriarch replied.

"..." The sea breeze blew through the arched corridor, the sun was golden, and the whistling sound echoed in the ears.

A certain moment.

Indra thought he had heard wrongly.

He carefully raised his head and looked at it with the corner of his eyes.

The expression on the patriarch's face remained unchanged, as if the missing children were not his own children, but two unrelated strangers.

Looking at that old and ruthless face, Indra suddenly felt an uncontrollable anger rising in his heart.

But he still suppressed it and asked, "I still don't understand something."

The expression on the patriarch's face finally changed slightly. His messy brows raised slightly, like a smile appeared on his face.

"I have made key progress, cultivating a genetic spiral in Henos that can isolate the Immortal Sky. She will be our future, a new human being. Remember when we first came to this planet The purpose, now that it’s completed, it’s time to leave here and return to our homeland.”

A little girl wearing a white dress, with long chestnut hair, who looked to be no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, ran from the garden behind the arch.

She had no shoes on, her white feet were stained with dust, and she held a shovel in her hand.

It seemed that he did not expect outsiders to come.

The girl subconsciously hid behind the patriarch. When she saw it was Indra, the deer-like vigilance on her face disappeared, and a soft smile appeared on the girl's face. She waved and greeted her brother. Indra forced a stiff smile on his face and nodded slightly, but his heart was full of disgust.

The patriarch's skinny palms brushed the girl's long hair, his movements gentle, as if stroking some rare treasure.

There was kindness in his eyes.

Indra served the great patriarch for tens of thousands of years.

But he had never seen such an expression on his father's face, and jealousy grew like a poisonous snake in his heart.

The patriarch will retract his gaze and become cold when looking at Indra, "After that, I will charge the obelisk. When the engine is re-ignited and started, we will leave this land. Here, we Too much time has been wasted, and I can’t wait to return to my homeland...even if it has become a wasteland.”

"With all due respect, father..." Indra wasn't sure if there was sarcasm on his face when he said these words, "A man-eating monster was born in your back garden, and his temper is not very good. Okay. Even if we don’t plan to provoke him anymore, he may not let us go. Are you sure we have enough time?”

"We don't need to fight to the death, and it's not easy to cross the sea."

The patriarch touched his chin and pondered for a moment, "But you should prepare for the worst. If he comes, you and your brothers and sisters must find a way to stop him and buy me time. I will The defense authority of those fortresses will be further opened to you."

"Okay, let's settle it like this."

The patriarch turned around, took the girl's arm and left.

The girl turned back and waved her arm towards Indra as a farewell gesture.

She has been staying in this temple. When she occasionally sees outsiders, she finds it very strange, with a somewhat reluctant expression on her face.

Indra watched the two people disappear into the light, his face gloomy.

…

…

…

Bang!

The door of the secret room slowly closed behind Indra.

The outline of a woman gradually emerged from the substantial darkness in front of her.

She was wearing a dark red robe with flame patterns. She had perfect curves, her exposed skin was dark, her lips were thick, and her two dark golden pupils were glowing with soft light.

Seeing that the look on his face was not good, Agni filled a glass of fine wine in the golden wine bottle, raised his head and drank it all.

The two stuck together and separated again after a while.

"You have deep resentment towards the old man. It seems that this operation did not get the answer you wanted." Agni's voice was hoarse and full of the charm of a mature woman.

Indra leaned against the table, and the flame of the oil lamp reflected a blush on his face.

"It's not just that he is dissatisfied. The old man has gone completely crazy. For an unrealistic dream, a country that has been dead for thousands of years, he wants to take the rest of us into hell. Ha, What a foolish idea." Indra shook his head slightly and relayed what happened in the temple to his sister.

Agni also had a worried look on his face, "This is indeed not a good choice, but I have to say that we are now in a dilemma."

"No!"

Indra was silent for a moment, as if showing some determination.

Thinking of the patriarch sharing the father's love that he had never experienced before without reservation to his newly born sister.

He couldn't help laughing, his broad shoulders shook, and his face turned red. Looking at Agni's worried expression, Indra gently touched her dark and smooth face and said, "You are wrong, we have a third way out."

Agni looked puzzled and listened quietly.

Indra looked into his lover's eyes and said, "I won't let you go back to die with that crazy old thing. Our destiny is not limited to this planet. We have a broader future."

"you mean……"

"Yes." Indra said in a deep voice, "I have already made contact with the Dark Legion, and their war commander is searching for the remaining shelters across the galaxy. No matter what we do, the end of all mankind is inevitable. Since we There is no way to stop this, so why not let it take its course and seek some benefits for yourself in the current of this era.”

"The other brothers, do they know?"

"When that day comes, they will make the right choice." Indra said vaguely, "After all, don't forget, we are not fully human to begin with. Half of our bodies come from the Immortal Heaven. , that is both a gift and a curse.”

"The Dark Army...are they really capable of solving all this?" Agni's face was full of worry.

Indra smoothed her frown and smiled, "Are you worried about that monster on the Eastern Continent? He is indeed strong, even enough to kill some of us. But what does it matter in front of the Dark Army? After all, he is one of the main culprits in destroying the Federation, and their Warmaster has already embarked on the path of destruction and has traveled a long way."

"I hope so."

"I will tell you everything I have prepared, will you support me?"

"Of course." A smile appeared on Agni's face, "Even if it's my life, I will share it with you without reservation as long as you need it."

In the closed and dull secret room, Indra looked at her amber eyes, and suddenly felt that the light in them was more intoxicating than the sweetest wine he had ever tasted.

Neither of them spoke anymore, they hugged each other and kissed each other again.

…

…

…

"Path of destruction, what is that?"

Relying on the mysterious connection, Su Heng once again entered the strange space in the original blood river.

It's still a gladiatorial arena, but the format is different from last time.

He seemed to be in an abandoned temple, surrounded by cracked walls and a huge circular square in the middle.

On the side facing the steps is a throne made of black stone, but it has been completely broken, along with the wall behind it. A large hole opened in the ceiling, and a beam of white light came in like a searchlight.

No matter from which aspect you look at it, Su Heng's opponent this time is a human being.

She was a very young and beautiful woman, about three meters tall, with smooth muscle lines and a stunning face under her long silver-gray hair. She wears gold and crimson armor, which is beautifully designed and can provide excellent protection without looking too bulky. Every inch of her body is perfectly outlined.

It makes this lady look majestic, like a Valkyrie coming from the battlefield.

She held two slender stabbing swords in her hands, with a look of curiosity similar to Su Heng's on her face. It was obvious that she had not expected to encounter her compatriots on such a cruel battlefield.

Because we are both human beings.

The two did not start a fight as soon as they met. Instead, they started chatting.

From the conversation just now, Su Heng learned that the lady in front of him was called Ji Zifeng. Hearing Su Heng's question, Ji Zifeng asked in surprise, "How did you get here if you don't even know the path to destruction?"

Su Heng shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's a long story. Maybe some people feel that living is too painful and want to die. I'm a kind-hearted person and don't want to see them suffer, so I reached out to help them. A handful. Then I felt something calling me, and then what happened now.

Ji Zifeng laughed out loud, her eyelids stained with an intoxicating blush, "Little guy, you are so funny."

"In this case, you should not be from the Star Sea Federation era. No wonder I have never heard of you."

"For me, the Star Sea Federation is just a name on a background board."

"We once thought we could conquer the Immortal Heaven and reach eternity, but it turned out that we were terribly wrong. No matter how great a civilization is, it will eventually dissipate in time."

Ji Zifeng sighed softly.

She explained, "Since you know about the Primordial Blood River, you should also have heard of the Plague Garden, the Crystal Maze, and Elysium."

"That's right." Su Heng said, "As far as I know, those are the four wonderlands in the Everlasting Heaven."

"Actually, it's more than that." Ji Zifeng looked stern and explained patiently, "They are not only wonders in the eternal sky, but also represent the four supreme powers, namely killing, corruption, change and indulgence.

When there is a craze in the Everlasting Heaven, those who are recognized can enter it.

The farther you go in the four secret realms, the more gifts you will receive. According to legend, the final winner can even become the master of the secret realm and divide the supreme authority of the Immortal Heaven.

This is the so-called path of destruction..."

"I see." Su Heng nodded, "But I still have a question. In the Eternal Life Heaven, emotion itself is a kind of power. And the four secret realms are the aggregation of the extreme emotions of countless living beings. Those who gaze into the abyss are also attracted by the abyss. At the end of this journey, do you control your own power, or are you dominated by it? "

"Haha, you are so interesting." Ji Zifeng said with a smile, "Who would care about these things when facing the power at your fingertips."

"That makes sense." Su Heng nodded slightly.

He casually untied the robe he was wearing and threw it aside. Inside was a tight black shorts that outlined explosive muscle lines. The skin is full of metallic texture, even in the dark, there is a cold and hard luster.

Although he was not sure whether what he said was true or not, Su Heng still waved his hand, indicating that he would give the opponent the opportunity to make the first move.

The smile on Ji Zifeng's face faded, but she was not in a hurry to take action. Instead, she asked, "Do you know how I got here?"

"I don't know, and I'm not interested." Su Heng shook his head.

Ji Zifeng said sadly, "I killed all my people. They regarded me as their hope and savior, but I betrayed them. Because if I don't do this, we will all die at the hands of those hunters. This is a last resort." And for that.”

"However, it is precisely because of this, the extreme pain, the bone-gnawing hatred, the blood of my relatives... With this power, I was promoted in the Immortal Heaven."

Ji Zifeng's voice suddenly became harsh.

Her already rather slender body was stretched and her legs were brought together.

The armor collapsed and turned into slender and swinging lower limbs like snakes. The chest and abdomen were also stretched by a huge force, so that an extra pair of arms could grow under the ribs.

Power surged through her body, her heart beat as fast as an engine roaring, and her eyeballs turned scarlet red due to congestion.

The expression on his face was ferocious, and his long hair was disheveled. He looked like a monster from a myth.

Ji Zifeng tightened her long tail, raised her body, opened her mouth, and laughed so hard that the surrounding pillars were shaking, and large pieces of gravel and dust fell from the ceiling.

She had never taken Su Heng seriously from the beginning. Feeling the surging power in her body, coupled with the influence of Changshengtian, her emotions were even more crazy, almost like a madman, and she could no longer think normally. "Give up, don't make any more meaningless struggles, I will give you a quick death, as a human, you can't defeat a monster like me."

"For the sake of power, is it really appropriate to turn yourself into a monster that is neither human nor ghost?"

"You have never experienced such despair, you don't understand anything!" Ji Zifeng screamed, "Ah, I heard it again, the dying wails of the tribesmen echoed in my ears. Human power is limited. If you want to become stronger, you can only give up some things!"

"No..."

Su Heng's voice was still calm, but with some pity, "That may just be because your purity as a human is not high enough."

With a loud bang, a large amount of dust rushed from the top of his head along with the strong wind.

Ji Zifeng's crazy laughter suddenly choked.

A heart-pounding breath was coming from all directions.

Her long hair fluttered in the wind, and she suddenly couldn't see anything in front of her. There was only a huge shadow that was constantly expanding. The earth was like a frightened child, crying uncontrollably, and the surrounding buildings collapsed one by one with a series of loud noises.

She seemed to feel that something was wrong, and subconsciously widened her eyes.

Wait for the smoke to disperse.

Su Heng's figure had disappeared.

In his place, there was a dark mountain bathed in the morning light.
