Ning Yu charted a path on the map that would take her past the most altars, allowing her to destroy them all along the way.
According to Ning Xuan, these altars would become part of Chen Xing's power, so it was crucial to destroy as many as possible.
Ning Yu recalled the invisible barrier around her that made her immune to all physical attacks, as well as her devastating ability to summon pillars of light.
Her defenses and offensive capabilities were truly maxed out. Such immense power undoubtedly had something substantial backing it.
She had prepared so much for this day, all to gather enough strength to kill herself.
In the dim underground passage, the two of them moved forward together. The fleeing worker zombies from earlier had already disappeared.
But Ning Yu wasn’t worried about them reporting to the soldiers or officers of the organization.
Firstly, they couldn’t speak.
Secondly, they were clearly cooperating with Chen Xing, or perhaps under some form of her control, betraying the organization for her.
Ning Yu herself wasn’t aligned with either the organization or Chen Xing, placing her in the perfect position to act independently.
So, not only did she plan to destroy the altars tainted by Chen Xing, but she also intended to dismantle the ordinary ones along the way.
If these altars weren’t tainted, they were likely being used by Leon to assist in his so-called final ritual.
And wasn’t this final ritual all about capturing her?
So there was no need to hesitate. This was the perfect moment for Ning Yu to make her move, exploiting the conflict between Lacy and Chen Xing to achieve her own goals.
Ideally, she could resolve both problems in one go.
Soon, they arrived at another open area, the closest one to the altar Ning Yu had just destroyed.
The intact altar at the center had a soul gem in its groove, though it seemed smaller than the one on the previous altar.
As soon as they entered, Ning Yu heard low growls.
Dozens of Gluttons hung upside down from the ceiling, seemingly awakened by Ning Yu’s presence in the hall.
It appeared that, apart from the recently constructed altar, the other completed altars were guarded by mutated zombies.
As the Gluttons dropped to the ground and began advancing toward them, Ning Yu had only one thought: time to earn some points.
“Let’s see who can kill more?”
Ning Yu’s Blood Kite floated gently around her, spinning in the air.
Shen Yiyue pulled out a sniper rifle from her weapon case:
“Then you’re definitely going to lose, Xiao Yu!”
The battle began and ended in less than 30 seconds.
Low-tier mutated zombies were no longer a threat to either Ning Yu or Shen Yiyue, whose abilities had significantly improved.
Ning Yu stood still, controlling Blood Kite as it danced and spun, slicing through the Gluttons’ weak spots and delivering death.
Shen Yiyue moved while shooting, and with her [Future Reading], no Glutton could escape her precise shots.
“7:7, it’s a tie!”
Shen Yiyue walked back to Ning Yu, who was carefully using Blood Kite to absorb the blood from the Gluttons’ corpses without wasting a drop.
Ning Yu’s eyes began to faintly redden as she turned to Shen Yiyue with a smile.
“You’ve really gotten strong.”
“Of course!”
Shen Yiyue puffed out her lips with a hint of pride, clearly pleased with Ning Yu’s praise.
The two of them approached the central altar. This time, Ning Yu didn’t rush to destroy it but instead tried to directly take the soul gem from the altar.
She grabbed the octahedral shell and attempted to pull it out, but as she moved it, she felt it tremble noticeably.
It seemed that if the soul gem left the groove, it would be damaged in some way.
She carefully examined the area around the altar, studying the light paths that connected to it from the ground.
Perhaps there was a more efficient way to destroy it than using armor-piercing rounds.
“Xiao Yu, look here!”
Shen Yiyue found a depression in the base of the altar where many light paths converged before branching out in another direction.
“Let me try!”
She immediately fired a shot at the spot.
All the light paths trembled for a moment before dimming completely.
The octahedral soul gem floating above the groove lost its buoyancy and fell into the groove with a clink.
“Well done.”
Ning Yu walked back and picked up the soul gem from the groove, this time encountering no resistance.
[Ding! You have obtained the item: Soul Gem (Small)]
[Would you like to convert it?]
Ning Yu didn’t rush to convert it. Instead, she handed it to Shen Yiyue and said:
“Try sensing it.”
Shen Yiyue took it and held it in her hand, feeling a warm sensation emanating from within.
She closed her eyes, trying to sense the energy inside, but after a while, nothing happened.
“It doesn’t seem to work…”
She reluctantly handed the soul gem back to Ning Yu.
Ning Yu pondered for a moment. She suspected that her ability to absorb this energy was related to the further contract she had signed with the Moon Princess in the Moon Princess’s space, which required her to pay a price.
‘To cross parallel lines means to establish a connection with the source.’
In other words, it was because of this connection that the golden vortex symbol, identical to the Moon Princess’s, had appeared on her forehead.
Without hesitation, she chose to convert it. A grayish-white light flew into her forehead.
[You have gained: +2 Charm]
Darn it!
Ning Yu hadn’t had a bad roll in a while. She didn’t mind gaining some charm, but +2? What was she supposed to do with that?
Become so beautiful that she could charm Chen Xing into surrendering?
[Host has accumulated 1% of Akashic Power.]
[Ding! Legendary Quest Unlocked: Ultimate Knowledge]
[Quest Content: Accumulate 100% Akashic Power]
[Current Progress: 1%]
[Quest Reward: Upgrade host’s awakened ability.]
A series of system notifications suddenly rang out in Ning Yu’s mind.
Wow, a legendary quest with such an enticing reward. Her awakened ability could finally be upgraded.
Previously, the T-virus serum she obtained had only increased her attributes, without enhancing her awakened ability.
Now, Shen Yiyue not only had [Future Reading], but also a host of time-related special abilities, while Ning Yu remained unchanged, like a super soldier with incredibly high stats.
Today, she had finally stumbled upon a quest to upgrade her awakened ability.
Ning Yu looked at the shattered octahedral shell on the ground, her eyes burning with determination.
These altars not only provided her with random attribute points but also allowed her to extract so-called Akashic Power to upgrade her awakened ability.
Ning Yu couldn’t help but smile:
Your underground engineering and altars are well-built, but now they belong to me!
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
invincible power, Gu Changge transmigrates into a fantasy world, bound to a sign-in system that grants him cultivation rewards and various peerless treasures daily. While others struggle desperately to break through their cultivation realms, he has long since reached the pinnacle of the Great Dao, becoming a reclusive Emperor whose true strength even he himself cannot fathom. Originally planning to lie low and retire peacefully on Purple Bamboo Peak, the system suddenly issues a new task — take on disciples. With no other choice, Gu Changge casually picks up a few disciples: The eldest disciple, born with a War God Constitution, is thrown a copy of "War God Stratagems" by him, and ends up conquering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, becoming a peerless War God who sweeps across the cosmos. The second disciple, possessing a Chaos Sword Body, can break all techniques with a single sword, his swordsmanship unmatched throughout history. He points his sword at the heavens: "My master said, the sword and the man stand together. If the sword perishes... my master will give me another one." The third disciple, a reborn Empress who returns to her throne, her elegance and grace overshadowing all beings. And without anyone noticing, his own sect, the Qingxuan Sect, has become the number one sect on the continent. Looking at these unbelievably formidable disciples, Gu Changge, holding the "Primordial Purple Qi" he just signed in for, falls into deep thought: — Wasn't this supposed to be a peaceful retirement? How did I become the ultimate master?!
