Origin Paradise!

"How did the werewolf baron end up in the fortress?!"

"A spy! That boy is a spy!"

On the VIP platform, many important figures frowned. This werewolf girl was the subject of a top-secret project of the Army Group Research Institute. She had disappeared six months ago and unexpectedly reappeared here. Although it was a pity to lose an experimental subject, this kind of scandal must be nipped in the bud.

Jiang He stomped on Lin Ye's left shoulder, breaking it with a cracking sound as his foot spun. Lin Ye, who was unconscious, trembled violently.

"You are not qualified to gamble, but you can pay with your life. Whether I let him go or not depends on my mood."

Jiang He uttered a standard villain's statement. He wanted to see if the power of fate could still work when it came to the most fundamental matter of life and death. Of course, the most important thing was to wait for more helpers of fate to appear. These guys were all characters in the plot who could provide fragments of the crystal of fate. He didn't have time to find them one by one.

"Who would die in his place?" the wolf-eared girl sneered arrogantly.

Jiang He crushed Lin Ye's abdomen with his foot. The extreme pain woke him up with a roar, and then he fainted again.

Half a minute later, the wolf-eared girl, her face streaked with tears, committed suicide beside the boy.

"An interracial love."

"I never imagined that dark creatures could also have feelings."

"We don't have any deep-seated hatred, let the kid go."

The audience whispered among themselves as Tong Xue burst into tears and grabbed her brother Tong Fei's arm, shaking it violently.

"Brother, please go and save Lin Ye!"

Tong Fei's smile was dry. First, the wolf-tailed girl's behavior on the stage was in accordance with the special academy law. Second, after the wolf-eared girl appeared, many big shots who had their eyes on Lin Ye's potential backed down. Finally, as a reserve commander, he was no match for the best fighters in the competition; going up there would be suicide.

"Anything else?"

Jiang He looked around and stomped twice more.

Indeed, the power of fate is like water in a sponge; there's always some left if you squeeze it out.

"This boy's tenacity makes me want to take him as my disciple. I wonder if you could spare his life?" An old woman walked out from the audience and stepped onto the ring without fear.

"Grandma Yin was once a top-tier powerhouse who competed with the council chairman for the dominance level."

"Didn't she say she never planned to take on any disciples in her life?"

"I heard that Grandma Yin won the championship four times in a row when she was young."

……

At the same time, Secretary-General Yin led his entourage down from the VIP seats. The death of his former brother had finally stirred his compassion. Accompanying him was Patriarch Ai, after all, Lin Ye was his adopted son.

But someone was faster than them.

A blood-stained spear fell, and Jiang He, wearing sunglasses, was the first to step onto the arena.

After being stopped five times, he encountered no accidents along the way.

The earth dragon's strange blood crystal was forcibly stuffed into Lin Ye's mouth.

Normally, ordinary people who want to become Awakened must take Awakening Potions that have been moderated with other materials; directly using the crystals of high-ranking wild beasts is equivalent to ingesting a deadly poison.

Lin Ye struggled violently while unconscious, and his last bit of life force rapidly decreased, keeping him alive.

In just a short while, Lin Ye defied common sense and unexpectedly became a lower-level Earth Dragon type ability user.

puff!

At the lowest point in his life, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jiang He summoned the Long-Hate Dragon Spear, piercing through the target's head and absorbing the power of the dragon attribute.

Death came in an instant.

Granny Yin, who had already made her move, suddenly came to her senses.

"How could I possibly think this kid is resilient?"

Secretary-General Yin stopped in his tracks, his eyes filled with doubt.

“Wasn’t it me who kicked Yin Qin out of the house back then? How could I feel any pity for his illegitimate child?”

The head of the Ai family was bewildered.

"Why should I come down here if I'm a piece of trash?"

The three of them felt a strong sense of unease. The competition had a death penalty, and it was not surprising that more than a dozen students would die. It was strange that things had escalated to this point.

"I now declare that the match continues, and arena number ten will be cleared immediately." Mr. A stepped forward to take charge from the broadcasting room behind the VIP seats.

Jiang He drew his gun and left, taking his blood feud with him. The referees and staff quickly cleaned up the scene. Without the blessing of fate, the chosen one who died was just an ordinary student and could not affect the progress of the competition.

All acquired Destiny Bronze Chests have been opened.

[Hint: You have obtained a total of 40 Fate Fragments, 10 Lucky Stones, and 3000 Game Coins]

[Game Coins: 3066]

[Note: Your Eternal Dragon Spear has gained the effect "Earth Dragon - Intermediate Counterattack"]

[Hint: Your Eternal Dragon Spear has gained a special effect - Fate - When thrown, this spear will always hit within its range.]

The forty fragments of fate were transformed into four crystals of fate, which Jiang He used immediately.

[Gun Master LV2 → Gun Master LV6 (Deals 74% bonus damage when using spear-type weapons, 10% of total damage is converted into true damage)]

[Note: You have obtained the Excellent title "Enemy of Fate" - the damage dealt to you by the Child of Fate is reduced by 10%, and the Child of Fate will always dislike you. When the kill count reaches a certain limit, the title will change (1/10)]

Chapter 221 Lilith

The interlude ended, and all major events resumed as normal.

The death of an ordinary student is not surprising.

As Jiang He returned to his VIP seat, he continued to control the Dawn Man in the fight. Without the Chosen One, he didn't need to put too much effort into the Forest Survival Race.

"It seems you're planning to protect that Wolf Tail to the death. Personally executing the rival student might solve the problem, but it also breaks the rules. The council will come after you later."

The smuggler joked that the so-called trouble was a joke. They would launch a rebellion tomorrow night, and these things would only be meaningful after they succeeded. If they failed, every single member of the small group would be subject to the purge by the commander and the governor.

"You'll have to decide what to do next, Wolf Tail versus Ai Liang," Jiang He subtly hinted.

At this moment, the odds for the outcome of the match between Wolf Tail and Ai Liang have reached an astonishing level. As long as Wolf Tail loses, even after dilution with a large amount of money, he can still get more than ten times the bet. This is because his previous performance in the Transformation Realm was too outstanding. Ai Liang, who is still an ordinary person, has no chance of winning. Except for true gamblers, everyone knows how to choose.

The smuggler chuckled, "You've got some nerve. This is blatant cheating. I'll pass. The chairman has a stake in the betting, and I'm afraid he'll ruin me later."

The rebellion was orchestrated by the Speaker of Parliament and targeted the Commander and Consul. If the rebellion succeeded, the Chairman of the Council, as the permanent head of Parliament, would not only gain power but also become more powerful, truly second only to the Speaker.

Jiang He didn't care about this; he had already instructed A'er to bet all 60 million on Wolf Tail and lose the game.

"By the way, what's that between your eyebrows?" the snakehead asked in surprise. Upon closer inspection, he noticed a bright red crescent mark between the man's eyebrows, which added an eerie beauty to his otherwise handsome face, but it didn't look like something clean.

"The stickers that are popular in college."

"Hey, you're trying to fool me."

Jiang He didn't offer any explanation, and on the surface, it really did seem to be related to "ghosts." When he absorbed the power of the Child of Destiny just now, besides the earth dragon and the power of destiny, he also inexplicably took away a soul. He was completely unaware of this accident.

[Hint: An unknown life form has entered your mental world]

[Hint: An unknown life form is attempting to take over your body]

[Hint: The unknown life form has relinquished its attempt; the permafrost trial is suspended.]

Jiang He closed his eyes to rest. He still had the normal and flexible Eternal Freeze Judgment on his body. The last unlucky one was the Silver-rank powerhouse Ku Rong Dao Ren. Although the Origin Battlefield was extremely rigid, its level was unimaginable, and its coercive power was very reliable.

With self-control and internal energy neutralization activated simultaneously, Jiang He introspected his own spiritual world for the first time.

……

Dark clouds gathered and strong winds raged.

On the boundless black sea, countless all-consuming whirlpools are scattered like stars, and the thunderous roar of the churning sea echoes through the heavens and earth.

At the horizon, the sun was setting in the west.

On the solid ice covering the sea, Jiang He walked slowly, yet her speed seemed unbelievably fast.

Arriving at the center of the world, a wooden cross stands out abruptly. Without a doubt, this thing is a foreign product, its mottled frame covered with beautiful patterns.

Jiang He turned his gaze to the beautiful woman bound by thorns on the cross. She had smooth, blood-red hair and exuded youthful vitality. A wreath of roses and poppies adorned her alabaster neck, and her black off-shoulder dress was made of silk.

“Look at your greedy appearance. You will rise to power because of this, and you will surely perish because of it.”

The woman in the black dress opened her eyes, her gaze gentle, and looked around, only lingering briefly on the countless whirlpools of the sea. She could not leave the cross; once she touched the black ice on the sea surface, she would take the place of the host and be subject to the Origin's judgment for violating the rules.

This is actually a cage.

"I'm not yet at a point where I can be as leisurely as you, wearing silk pajamas as a guest in someone else's house and speaking so rudely."

Jiang He sat back down, and the black ice surged to form a large chair. As he expected, in his mental world, he could make minor modifications based on his thoughts.

The situation was clear: Jiang He knew he couldn't defeat this unknown life form, and the other party was equally unable to take over his body; the two were locked in a stalemate.

In this situation, there are few rational choices.

A complete Cold War, or a win-win cooperation.

"I want knowledge, experience, strength, power, and everything that can enhance and strengthen me."

Jiang He calmly said, "In return, provided I am safe, I can try to provide you with a suitable container. Whether we part ways or continue to cooperate, we'll see."

The woman in the black dress chuckled, "You clearly wish you could grind me to dust."

Jiang He remained silent. In his mental world, he could also sense that the other party harbored strong malice towards his body.

The woman in the black dress said, "You can call me Lilith. I am the Crimson Goddess, who once wielded the powers of both the Blood Moon and the Storm. While I may not be considered a top-tier powerhouse in the boundless void, I am still... compared to you..."

“Far ahead.” Jiang He interrupted the other person’s speech. “Everyone has their glorious moments in the past, present, and future. Don’t mistake a moment for eternity. If you are still the Crimson Goddess, I don’t think I have a chance to speak. Let’s skip this. I’ve eaten more fish than you’ve drunk blood.”

The woman in the black dress muttered to herself.

Jiang He's face darkened. "If you can't distinguish between rhetoric and bragging, then let's stop here."

“Alright.” The woman in the black dress said frankly, “I have been living in the spiritual world of the puppets of destiny throughout the ages in this world, and have never been noticed by the host or the world consciousness. Of course, this is the first time I have been pulled out by external force.”

"I initially saw your potential in gluttony, but things haven't turned out quite right. To be honest, I can't leave now, at least not until you reach the Hero rank and can freely use your soul power."

"There's no need to dwell on the past. All you need to know is that the henchmen of the Dark Council are looking for me, and I have no intention of going back with them to my death. Besides, that's just my second home. Having lost power, I have no attachment to it."

"As for now, cooperation is naturally the best option. Let's make an agreement and start our first transaction."

Jiang He asked indifferently, "How do we draw up a contract?"

Lilith smiled; she had a naturally gentle and beautiful face.

“All established rules will eventually be broken, just as the beasts of the wilderness will encounter jackals, and the honey badger will howl at its enemies. The monsters of the night will find rest in death, and for countless years, those who have made covenants have faced each other with swords drawn.”

"The oldest agreements only require a verbal agreement between the two parties."

"Hatred is the best punishment for treachery."

Jiang He was silent for a moment before speaking, "You can't do it, can you?"

Lilith's smile froze.

After a brief silence, Lilith said casually, "I need you to collect a large number of books each time you descend into the world, at least three times. In return, I will teach you how to transform blood servants without being restricted by the mind."

Jiang He nodded. Either knowledge is power, or it's a test for collaborators. He was too lazy to delve into it. The method to increase the number of blood servants was indeed useful.

Chapter 222 Commander

"I abstain!"

With countless cameras pointing at him, Wolf Tail chose to forfeit his final fighting match.

The entire venue was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, then a wave of anger erupted, with many spectators even rushing out of the preparation area.

"Liar! You liar!"

"What kind of bullshit legal gambling is this? It's all shady!"

"Give me back my money! I'll make you give me back my money!"

The crowds were bustling.

In the VIP section, the important figures all shifted their gazes to someone on the left edge.

Secretary-General Yin took a sip of red wine. "You've got some nerve."

"They dare to make money like this?" The Tong family head shook his head and sighed.
