Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

"Which sin domain did those guys go to back then?"

Li Zheng stood alone in front of the teleportation gate, trying hard to recall. He realized that he had thought he could remember the leader of the Nine Heavens, and he did indeed remember the other party's existence, but he had inadvertently forgotten some information related to the other party!

If Liu Qishao hadn't asked him to search for the people of Jiutian this time, and he hadn't started to actively recall things related to them, he would have discovered this. Otherwise, he suspected that even he would have unconsciously forgotten everything related to the leader of Jiutian!

"Something's wrong!"

Li Zheng's heart skipped a beat: "He can even influence me, this leader of the Nine Heavens is something else!"

Li Zheng believed that among those who knew the Nine Heavens Commander, his strength was definitely among the top tier. The Nine Heavens Commander's gains in the Matrix were definitely not comparable to his, but the other party's abilities were extremely strange and could even affect him invisibly.

Therefore, it seems that what Liu Qishao said was true; the Nine Heavens Commander concealed extremely important intelligence and did not make it public!

"The Seven Great Sin Domains appear to be independent, but in reality, they are connected at their deepest point. No matter where the leader of the Nine Heavens went, even if I remember, it's useless. Following the trail will always leave me behind."

Li Zheng pondered for a moment: "Why don't we just choose any sinful area and try our luck?"

What a load of luck!

Why not use readily available information plugins?

He took out the nameplate and sent a message to the terminal to inquire about the whereabouts of the Nine Heavens Commander.

"They went to the Seventh Sin Domain, but..." The terminal replied, "Strange, I don't have the identity information of the Nine Heavens Legion leader here? I only locked onto the target after finding the trace of Ma Long, a member of the Nine Heavens Legion, through screening."

what?
Li Zheng was stunned when he saw the reply: "Even you don't have the identity information of that commander from Nine Heavens? Is he that powerful?"

Holy crap, I thought it was already pretty impressive that I could erase some memories without his perception, but I never expected that even the terminal that controls the entire outer city and the matrix could be affected.
It's important to understand that although a terminal has developed consciousness, it is essentially still a rigid program. Information recorded in a program generally cannot be erased unless it is actively deleted.

"He does have some skill."

The terminal replied, "Be careful. I suspect that the leader of the Nine Heavens may have mastered some kind of major sin rule."

Major Sin Rules?

"What is that?" Li Zheng looked at the newly appeared term and instantly felt a headache coming on. If it was related to the word "crime," it probably wasn't anything good.

"It's a bit complicated to explain, but I can compile some information and send it to you. You can look at it when you have time," the terminal replied, adding, "But just look at it. Don't try to touch it. The rules of the Great Sin are very extreme. You might not only die without a burial place, but you'll also strengthen the power of the Sin Domain."

Seeing the terminal's cautious attitude, Li Zheng knew his guess was right; the rules for major crimes were indeed no good.

The next second, the nameplate received a file, which Li Zheng clicked to accept.

His reading ability is now exceptionally strong; after a quick scan, he gained a rudimentary understanding of the so-called rules of major sins.

Simply put, the so-called rules of the Great Sins are the emotional rules corresponding to the Seven Deadly Sins. By thoroughly immersing oneself in the Seven Deadly Sins and deeply exploring and utilizing a certain emotion, one can master a portion of the corresponding rule abilities once one reaches the pinnacle.

This was an extreme idea that emerged a long time ago when some residents of the outer city found that the emotional storm was unbearable.

They believe that emotional storms may be something that cannot be eliminated, so it is better to do the opposite and try to control this force.

This differs from the ideology of the Heavenly Will organization in the Wasteland, which advocates eliminating the existence of emotions that give rise to great sins, thus ending everything at its source.

These residents of the outer city were even more ambitious, actually wanting to turn the tables and take control of the situation, overriding their sinful emotions!

After a long period of research, countless people entered the Sin Domain, attempting to control that power.

Initially, the results were encouraging; they did achieve their desired outcome. However, things quickly spiraled out of control. Wave after wave of people who entered the Sin Domain never returned, while the number of mutated beasts within the Sin Domain grew exponentially.

Some believe that those who disappeared eventually fell into depravity, were assimilated by the realm of sin, and that mastering the rules of great sin is an absolute trap.

Since then, the rule of major sins has become a taboo in the outer city. There may still be people trying it in secret, but it has been strictly prohibited in public.

"these people……"

After reading the information, Li Zheng's expression was complicated: "According to the data, to control the rules of the Great Sin, one needs to devote oneself entirely to a certain emotion and deeply merge with it. This process is highly similar to being corrupted by the emotions of the Sin Domain. Once corrupted, one will fall. They actually want to merge with it. Isn't that courting death?"

Li Zheng expressed that he did not quite understand and was greatly shocked.

“It seems that Liu Qi came to the right place this time.” Li Zheng put away the nameplate, his eyes darkening slightly: “The Great Sin Rule is too dangerous. If the leader of the Nine Heavens really has this thing, the secrets that the Nine Heavens have mastered may be hidden.”

"The Seventh Sin Domain?"

The Seventh Sin Domain is the Sin Domain of Jealousy. Li Zheng had been there before but had not seen any trace of Jiu Tian and his group.

This suggests that his earlier guess was correct; the leader of the Nine Heavens was likely using the Seventh Sin Domain as a stepping stone to other Sin Domains.

The purpose was probably to hide their whereabouts and not to be discovered or tracked.

"In that case, the Seventh Sin Domain can basically be ruled out. We can go and look for the other Sin Domains first."

There's no need to go to the Lazy Sin Domain either, as he had already ventured far into it before and found no trace of Jiutian Yixing.

"So... let's start by investigating the Wrathful Sin Domain."

Li Zheng sighed; he had a gut feeling that the search for the Nine Heavens Commander would not go smoothly.

As he took that first step, a wave of negative emotions washed over him, and a surge of anger instantly rose in Li Zheng's heart.

Fueled by this anger, when he thought of Commander Jiutian and his group again, his thoughts turned to: "These people are such a nuisance! Why did they have to run around like that?! Now I have to come looking for them! So annoying!"

Take a deep breath, calm yourself down, and put your anger to rest.

Li Zheng raised his hand, took out the Black Dragon Spear that had automatically returned to his residence, and walked step by step toward the gathering point.

After passing through the gathering point, the journey was smooth and they arrived safely at the golden zone of the Celestial Dragon Clan.

Once they arrived here, the pressure from that anger completely dissipated, only to reappear after they left the golden zone.

"Li Zheng!"

Just as Li Zheng crossed the golden zone and reached the edge of the deeper part on the other side, he heard a somewhat familiar voice calling his name.

Turning my head, I saw a figure dressed in a black robe.

Old Pu displayed the information.
