These are new items contributed by the two great beasts of sin.

Su Li carefully put the two items away. "Based on my previous experience, there's a high probability that these items are imbued with the methods of an evil god. So, I'll put them in my inventory first."

The attributes of these two pieces of equipment are considered very strong even among gold-level equipment.

Sophia gazed regretfully at the abyss beneath the sea. "There are no islands around here, so the treasure chests must have spawned where they were waiting before."

"Let's give up. We don't even know how deep the sea is here." Su Li shook her head. The place they were in before the apocalypse was an ocean, which was already very deep. Now that the whole world is submerged, it's even deeper.

Going to such a deep place to find treasure chests, I don't know how much time it will take, or what kind of monsters I will encounter.

"Let's go, business is more important." Su Li patted Sophia on the shoulder.

The group began clearing various monsters from the sea. Those monsters that had been resurrected by status reversal were killed again by Sophia. These controlled monsters, having been selected by the Great Sin Monsters, were all relatively powerful in terms of attack.

Sofia collected a lot of speed and penetration factors here to enhance her rifle and laser gun, as well as factors that increased knockback and blast radius, to enhance her grenade launcher.

As she continuously absorbed high-quality silver-grade factors, Sophia sensed that her magic spear was undergoing a qualitative change. With a little more replenishment, the magic spear would evolve.

After spending most of the day, Su Li and his team finally cleared away all the monster corpses.

Flames ignited in his hands, evaporating the sticky fish slime, and Zuli looked down at the seabed.

At this time, in the early hours of the morning, is the darkest moment of the day.

Because of the darkness, the patterns beneath the seawater were even clearer.

"The tentacles of the evil god at the bottom of the sea have changed; the energy patterns have begun to appear as if they are alive, flashing on and off."

"Killing two great beasts of sin has done you a great favor, you evil god."

To advance to the Gold level, purity is required. However, there is a path for consciousness aggregates to take. Purification and unification of all wills and thoughts can form a powerful collective subconscious. Once the strength of this subconscious reaches the required level, it can also meet the standard for advancing to the Gold level.

Those gold-level ones are mostly Gestalt, insect hive type.

However, in any case, a collective consciousness must have a unified voice.

The evil god of this world was born from the collective consciousness of the three-eyed people; it is a product of the collective consciousness's corruption. Even before the birth of this collective consciousness, the three-eyed people already had some leaders of will. After the birth of the evil god, these leaders of will inevitably wield considerable influence.

The evil god's mental state is very fragmented. The people's thoughts are gathered under different leaders of will because of different preferences. These leaders of will and the evil god's main will form a kind of division. The evil god is the most powerful ruler, while the leaders of will are various lords.

It's almost certain that the great beasts of sin that Su Li and his companions killed were the leaders of those wills. By killing them, Su Li essentially helped the evil god quell the rebellion.

Su Li speculated that once the Seven Deadly Sins were all defeated, the evil god would completely control his power. At that time, as long as the remaining minor lords were dealt with, the entire country would have only one unified voice.

Once the last problem is solved, the evil god will most likely be promoted to the gold level due to his inherent strength.

There's a small chance that he'll suffer fatal injuries due to the damage Su Li left behind, thus failing to break through.

“It’s pretty much what we guessed back then.” Sun Lili walked up to Su Li and held out her hand. “Give me those two props.”

“…I really don’t want to give it to you.” Su Li sighed. “Your plan is too risky.”

“But this opportunity is once in a lifetime.” Sun Lili’s smiling eyes contained an unwavering will. “This is a trial!”

"What if something goes wrong?" Su Li was still reluctant. "You've always taken a risky path, and this time it's even more dangerous, like dancing on a knife's edge."

"It's alright, I still have a chance to revive." Sun Lili smiled slightly. "It's just one chance to revive, but using it to exchange for this duel is a great deal for me."

“…” Su Li remained silent.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Sun Lili pouted, lightly jumped towards Su Li, wrapped her arms around Su Li's neck, and clung to Su Li, her two slimes pressed tightly against Su Li's chest, "Please~ Darling~"

"Just agree to her request," Sophia said as she approached. "If it were you, I believe you would also risk your chance to be resurrected and take a gamble."

“You’re right,” Zuli acknowledged Sophia’s statement, “but!”

“I wouldn’t go that far. Look at her, her cultivation method involves opening a hole deep within her own heart to fight monsters and plunder their spiritual power. And now she’s pulling this stunt.”

"I don't object to working hard for insights or opportunities, but you can't work hard for everything you do."

If I give you 100 billion, on the condition that you survive playing Russian roulette, Zurich will definitely take the plunge; fortune favors the bold.

But you can't gamble on Russian roulette every time you buy a car. If this keeps up, what will happen when you go downstairs to buy a pancake? Will you play Russian roulette then too?!

“This time is different. I have a feeling that if I succeed this time, all my problems will be perfectly solved.” Sun Lili was visibly anxious.

“What’s different?” Su Li asked in return.

“You don’t understand.” Sun Lili shook her head. “Why did she choose to merge with me as a host? Because I’m the only one with a mind-based system? No, it’s because I am a mind-based system. If she wants to graft her own system onto me, she has to clear out my mind-based power first. Everyone knows which is more troublesome: building on a blank slate or tearing it down and rebuilding it.”

Sun Lili looked down at the shimmering patterns on the seabed, "The moment I saw her, I understood."

"In a sense, she is my end. She is the trial I must overcome."

"Face it, overcome it, and I will complete myself."
