Origin Paradise!

Whether the distance of the [space jump] is ten meters or ten light-years, the energy consumption to activate this ability is the same. The technological level far surpasses that of the previous golden battleship, but given the terrifying consumption of stellar power, the Saint Lilith needs to accumulate for a full three months before it can activate once.

Furthermore, the Void Battleship's hull is made of Star Iron, possessing a perfect level of overall sturdiness.

"I woke up to find myself back to this state."

Inside Yuwang City, Lilith looked up at the void warship, her eyes filled with unexpected surprise. Her bright red hair was almost tangible, her skin seemed to flow with the lustrous glow of white jade, her legs were shapely and long, and every inch of her black dress was exquisitely crafted. She exuded an alluring and eerie beauty.

After the Saint Lilith received a significant upgrade, her soul was greatly repaired, and most of the internal cracks that were not usually visible were healed, so much so that she began to radiate the divine charm of a higher being.

"Consider it repaying a great favor," Jiang He said.

Lilith smiled and said, "There are still two adults and one child, making a total of three. My soul has recovered somewhat now, so you can use the ability of divine thought at will from now on. Just remember to take care of your health."

Jiang He nodded. This was undoubtedly good news. Without a god-like thought speed, he would have had a hard time escaping from Ji You. Even though god-like thinking would put a burden on the body, it was still an absolute trump card.

"I'm currently researching reincarnation, see you later."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lilith's figure dissipated. She hadn't paid much attention to the battle to reclaim the world, except for glancing at someone when they were fighting the Knight King. Unless there was a Silver Overlord or a Gold Giant lurking in the Remnant World, given the survival ability of the Chosen Ones, there was basically no problem of dying in battle.

Jiang He summoned his three animal companions over via a message.

The new Ultimate Knight ability allows him to transform target beings into blood relatives by creating source blood.

The vampire viscount is equivalent to the silver-level common and elite, and if used on a bronze-level being, it will easily grant a +1 to all attributes.

However, the source blood is the life essence of the vampires, and a high-ranking vampire can only produce no more than five drops in his lifetime. The cost is not negligible. Fortunately, vampires are not a decisive component in his combat system, otherwise he would have to consider the cost-effectiveness.

"Boss, we've struck it rich again!" Wuhe chuckled as he landed on his shoulder. He had no objection to being transformed into a blood relative, since in terms of subordinate relationships, it wasn't even as good as the teleportation between animal companions.

"We slaughtered a powerful nation, but we're still a ways off from being a true overlord," Jiang He replied. A true overlord of their time would at least be able to stun a powerful nation with a single, casual move to qualify.

The mob was unusually speechless.

A moment later, Lao Hei arrived from the central tower with a bitter face. Someone had abandoned their responsibilities and ignored everything, so he had been the one handling the cultural classes for a while.

Zhuang Ya's small face remained expressionless, her lava-like vertical snake eyes showing indifference. Although her life level had been elevated to the Silver Age, snakes were inherently cold-blooded.

"Good evening, Great Serpent."

Jiang He nodded in response and said, "You three go and dig the blood pool. I'll refine the Earl-level source blood."

The team members immediately divided the work and cooperated. Digging blood pools was a compulsory subject in Yuwang City. From core members to evil spirits and Dawn commoners, everyone had undergone systematic training.

Half an hour later, Lao Hei, Wu He, and Zhuang Ya lay down in the blood pool. Simple alchemical patterns were engraved around them, with the central pattern resembling an ouroboros. Since obtaining the power of Möbius, this pattern had become someone's mark.

Three crystal-clear, bright red drops of blood fell from Jiang He's fingertips. The source blood represents the life essence of the vampire clan. If it were just a high-ranking vampire, this tempering alone would be enough to cause them to be in a long-term slump.

[Warning: You are in a state of extreme exhaustion. The ultimate self-healing skill, Black Within Black, is temporarily sealed. All attributes are temporarily reduced by 40% for seven natural years.]

"Time ring".

Jiang He activated the final time loop, refreshing his status.

[Note: You have returned to normal...]

In the blood pool, Wuhe's eyes gradually turned blood red. His strength, physique, and spirit each increased by one point, while his agility and charm increased by two points. After practicing the breathing technique for some time, he was still five free attribute points away from the lowest silver level.

As for Lao Hei, since his overall stats were the lowest, his other stats rose in the same way as Wu He's, but his constitution improved by two points and his agility by three points, making his improvement extremely significant.

Zhuang Ya, who had already become a Silver Being, only received a +1 to all attributes. If she hadn't just recently entered this level, the improvement would likely have been even lower.

All three have awakened advanced self-healing abilities, sufficient to support the regeneration of severed limbs.

"Great!" Wuhe finished his transformation. What he liked most was his ability to survive and his speed.

Old Black calmly rose from the blood pool, gaining eight free attribute points in one go. This was far too extravagant for a bronze-level being; it was a case of one person attaining enlightenment and all their relatives and friends benefiting.

Zhuang Ya raised her hands from the blood pool, and Jiang He bent down and lifted her out. The little one was short and worked very hard while digging the pit; an ordinary creature might have drowned in it.

After transforming into a blood relative, bright red patterns appeared along the edges of her thin white dress, resembling snake scales at first glance.

Seeing that the conversion was complete, Jiang He clapped his hands and said, "Meeting adjourned for now, I'm going out to earn some extra money."

[Zhen Ren: Ready to take action]

[Hint: Player Zhen Ren has transferred 5000 game coins to you]

[WARNING: This action does not involve any transaction!]

[Game currency: 7700 → 12700]

Jiang He ignored the warning. He didn't believe that Origin would target him for a mere 5000 game coins. Moreover, the merit of reclaiming a world should have earned him some higher privileges.

……

In the present summer, dark clouds filled the sky.

South Zhili, an elevated bridge spanning the river.

The night was filled with torrential rain, and the overpass resembled an isolated island, shrouded in an endless curtain of rain.

Raindrops pounded heavily on the puddles, making a "pitter-patter" sound, and the water flowed rapidly along the bridge surface, forming a series of rushing streams.

White mist clings to the ground, spreading out like a misty fairyland.

On the overpass, luxury cars sped through the floodwaters, their headlights appearing particularly dim in the rain, like fireflies lost in the night.

"A bunch of damn snobs! When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. They all broke up as soon as the leader died. All those years of supporting them were for nothing!"

"Let's wait for the suzerain state to come to its senses and settle accounts one by one. The Bureau of Order looks down on the Alliance of Princes. Let's try replacing them with Legendary ones!"

"As long as we can get through this period, those who remain will be the backbone, and there may be a day when we can make a comeback."

In the back seat, the elder angrily punched the in-car tablet in front of him, shattering it with a mix of complaints and subtle attempts at appeasement.

He was wearing a well-tailored grey handmade suit, but a deep, bone-deep scar ran from his shoulder to his right waist.

Black blood seeped out continuously, filling the car with a pungent stench of decay. The injuries were worsening, but even his peak Silver level strength was of no use, causing his condition to deteriorate to an extreme degree.

The elder's expression was dark and unreadable. Not all gold has a domain. Due to the sudden cessation of support from the suzerain state, the alliance leader's pseudo-territory lost its function, and its combat power declined sharply in a short period of time. Ultimately, it unfortunately perished in the world mission.

The loss of its top combat power caused the alliance of lords, which had no loyalty or unity to begin with, to fall apart. Various forces attacked the fallen enemy, and the once powerful organization collapsed overnight.

The elder glanced at the young man's profile in the driver's seat. The most urgent task now was to negotiate with certain extraordinary families and forces in Southern Zhili to stabilize the external situation, and then concentrate all resources and strength to help the deputy leader advance from the peak of strength to the gold level, so as to re-establish contact with the suzerain state.

"Lord Luanming, I will not betray your loyalty."

The young man in the driver's seat answered with a smile. Despite having once ordered the massacre of an entire city in the ancient martial arts world, he actually appeared quite refined.

"My lord, you can rest assured. In terms of the level of beings, I have only just been promoted to Silver. In terms of seniority and status, you are an old man who has followed the Alliance Leader all over the country. Moreover, you have a perfect quality one-time teleportation item. In any case, I have no reason or room to betray you."

Luan Mingqing objectively comforted the other party, saying that he really had no intention of betraying the organization. There were very few extraordinary forces like the Zhuhou Alliance within the Great Xia territory, and the short-term decline was not necessarily an opportunity to squeeze into the core.

"Perhaps," the elder replied noncommittally, his brow furrowed in pain. In truth, he was most concerned about the situation of the suzerain state.

For a long time, the Alliance Leader and the Winter Minister of the Suzerain State have been in direct contact, exchanging messages, resources and power through the Supreme Yin-Yang Mirror. However, not long ago, the other party unilaterally cut off the channel, leaving only the riddle: "[The king's command is hard to disobey, there is no time to lose, we must go all out]".

The elder looked out the window; the overpass was practically a vast ocean in the pouring rain, with inky rain pouring down from the sky and luxury cars speeding by.

Suddenly, the downpour stopped.

The sky above turned from gloomy to pitch black, and the elder immediately tensed up. The wall-like obstruction at the end of the window made him inexplicably uneasy.

Boom boom boom!

"Elders..."

Luan Mingqing gripped the steering wheel tightly. The luxury car had slowed down. A thousand meters ahead, the clear sound of horses' hooves echoed through the long distance, making his heart pound like a drum.

The newcomer, clad in silver armor and wielding a silver spear, rode a grey eight-legged warhorse, unleashing an intense killing intent with unbridled fervor. In the gloomy rain, his chillingly pure white eyes stared straight ahead, icy and piercing.

In an instant, the two supreme-level speed abilities, God Hunter and God Hunt, erupted.

Faced with unparalleled extreme speed, even the elders present, who were at the peak of the Silver rank, could not catch a glimpse of it.

A silver arc of light struck, and the aftershocks of the five-colored flames melted the luxury car. The burst of gunfire completely annihilated the target, and a crack running vertically through the bridge surface stretched for hundreds of meters.

The elder almost stood there frozen in place. After realizing the situation, he immediately took out a landscape painting and attempted to return to headquarters.

puff!

A blood-red short spear pierced the elder's abdomen, and he vanished along with it.

Jiang He canceled the simplified area and initiated the final positional exchange to leave.

At the top of the water tower on the riverbank, several kilometers away, the leader of Group C of the Southern Regional Operations Department of the Bureau of Order lowered his binoculars.

"One shot, one kill; target confirmed dead."

"The intelligence that the garrison commander of Anping possesses the fighting strength of the Silver Empire has been confirmed, and I personally believe that there may be more..."

"After the garrison commander arrived, the blood-red short spear disappeared."

As intelligence reports were uploaded to the analysis room, the leader of Group C looked at the huge cracks on the surface of the overpass with a headache.

"We need to apply for maintenance funds; this road is temporarily closed to traffic."

……

The Western Sea Province of the Great Xia Dynasty.

This is the land of Tibetan sheep and the capital of yaks.

The ancient pagoda and temple are closed, and the scenic spot has been closed for seven consecutive days. Local residents privately speculate that it may be related to the strange and bizarre stories that have been circulating online recently.

In the temple's incense-burning hall, the monk in black robes suddenly turned around and saw the elder descend from mid-air, a bloody spear piercing his abdomen. A tall and powerful gray warhorse stood beside him, and a young man on its back surveyed the surroundings with pure white eyes.

"I am sorry for not welcoming you properly, but you have a distinguished guest." The monk in black robes lowered his head and silently recited Buddhist scriptures. He had opened his "heavenly eye" and seemed to be able to see the countless dead souls lingering around the newcomer. This was a butcher, and the number of lives on his hands was probably no less than 300,000, which was horrifying.

Click!

The gray warhorse trampled the elder's head.

Jiang He said calmly, "Are there 24 extraordinary individuals in the temple? That's quite common for players within the country."

He had always lived by the sea on the border and was not very familiar with the situation inside the country. He only knew that due to the daily tasks in various places, there were quite a few strange rumors circulating on the internet.

Titles like "An octogenarian fills his stomach in a latrine just to learn how a cow ruminates," "A beautiful wife stays out all night and attacks a primary school student, all for what purpose," and "A juvenile pig-headed painter won't meet a headless model senior" are mostly clickbait, but there are a few exceptions that are told with great conviction.

The monk in black robes calmly said, "We are an ordinary folk custom enthusiasts' organization. The Bureau of Order does not allow players to fight each other without cause. Please leave with your grievances."

Jiang He urged his horse forward. According to Chu Fuqiang and the deputy commander of operations, the Bureau of Order never said "not allowed" when it came to player-versus-player combat; its real bottom line was not to allow innocent civilians to be involved.

boom!

A strong wind swept through, and the walls of the Buddhist temple were covered in cracks.

Jiang He killed the black-robed monk with a single spear thrust. The monk looked down in horror at his chest, where golden blood was flowing. This vice leader had the strength of a peak Silver-level expert and held a very important position. Unfortunately, he was no different from a normal Silver-level expert in the face of speed-type experts.

Chapter 340 The Ancient Martial Arts World Opens

Less than half a minute.

All players from the alliance within the temple were killed.

Six silver-ranked players, sixteen bronze-ranked players, and two level 3 players covered in iron chains.

Player qualifications can be transferred by killing creatures in the source area. These two low-level players have obviously become miserable "suckers". A player qualification can be sold for hundreds of millions of yuan on the black market. Many large groups are wealthy, but they suffer from a lack of opportunities to develop and come into contact with the extraordinary.

Jiang He had no interest in printed banknotes, so he contacted the deputy commander of operations directly. The deputy commander then contacted the operations department of the western division and immediately dispatched personnel to Guta Temple to handle the aftermath.

"One supreme-grade mirror, one perfect-grade short sword, three fine-grade items, and twelve rare items—that should be considered a large stronghold."

The All-Seeing Eye surveyed the surrounding twelve kilometers, and the Hunting Eye in the Divine Hunt judged the value of things. None of the hidden items in the Ancient Pagoda Temple were spared; they were all unearthed.

Jiang He sat in the square outside the temple. A group of professional roller skaters were racing in circles. Just a wall away, life and death were at stake. He devoured all the fine and rare props, and with his last bite, he chewed on the perfect short knife, crunching away at the blade.

[Note: Your Ultimate Transcendent Burst has been upgraded to LV6 (increases the damage of any single ability by 206%).]

As for the final Supreme Mirror, he didn't plan to feed it to the Eternal Regret Dragon Spear. From a special effects perspective, feeding it would be a waste of a special effects enhancement opportunity.

[Name: Sun-Worshipping Mirror]

[Category: Auxiliary]

[Quality: Supreme]

[Effect ①: Communicates with the Yin-attribute sacrificial realm, enabling cross-world teleportation, communication, sacrifices, and data transfer]

[Effect 2: Yin and Yang become one, thus preventing death]

[Note: This is an extraordinary treasure left over from thousands of years ago. The previous owner found it when he had just embarked on the path to the extraordinary realm. From then on, he received support and funding from the powerful force behind the Yin Sacrifice Mirror. The resources of the ancient kingdom are unimaginable, and its ruler is exceptionally talented.]

Jiang He examined the mirror. Putting aside everything else, the cross-world teleportation was extremely valuable, which meant that the mirror itself made no contribution in other aspects. The Alliance of Lords was an organization that imitated the Zhou Dynasty's system of enfeoffing lords, which reminded him of the Great Zhou on the border.

"Will original sin inevitably lead to encounter?"
