"So now, you want to walk with me?" Bei Shenxing looked toward Su Qi.
"Your followers seem to have all been buried within."
"It appears that those trigger mechanisms you set off before were commands for them to complete, and they paid the price for it."
Su Qi gave him a glance.
It could only be said that he was overthinking it; the followers had been sent in by him, having obtained what was needed, and they could have continued to be used as cannon fodder.
But coming up... Su Qi calculated the time, and the followers would begin the Venerable's Pollution Value plan.
it involved using the Dark Scripture to inspect whether the Venerable they served had reached a level suitable for the Evil God's will.
This inspection by the Dark Scripture was no simple glance; it involved completely opening up the soul, peering into all secrets like an X-ray.
It was said to be for checking Pollution Values, but it was also not without the purpose of pressing down on the Venerable's pride, increasing their compliance.
Naturally, Su Qi would not do such a thing.
But once there was resistance, then those followers who would give their lives to protect the Venerable
would instantly burst forth, slaying the rebellious Venerable—they were both Daoist Guardians and Judges.
"I could do that," Su Qi casually agreed.
Bei Shenxing lightly sketched a smile, "Since I've chosen to accompany you, it means I acknowledge your strength. After all, I do not make a habit of inviting the weak."
How juvenile and arrogant.
Su Qi gave a thumbs-up, "Then you've really got good taste."
Bei Shenxing and Su Qi lingered for a while in the Black and White Bear Store. This Black and White Bear Store naturally existed at every location, with many identical machines used only for drawing Character Cards.
The black and white mechanical bear beside them would not speak but held up signs that displayed the information everyone asked for.
Of course, this was limited to basic shopping information and rules. If you wanted to ask other questions, different numbers of keys had to be paid, the amount depending on the value of the question.
"Apart from the reward for leaving the door each time, the first draw in the shop requires 2 keys, and then it increases regularly," Bei Shenxing's eyes were piercing:
"That is to say, the second time costs 4 keys, the third time 6 keys... and so on, 8, 10, and so forth."
"In this way, the production of Character Cards is limited, and curiously enough..." Bei Shenxing said with a light laugh.
"It seems that as you go further, the chances of drawing higher Quality Character Cards also increase."
"Let's see how many keys we get later."
This man Bei Shenxing, confident, extraordinary, possessing Divinity, had an invincible heart. He could be called arrogant, but he indeed had the capital to be so.
He made two draws straight away, leaving himself with only 3 keys.
Bei Shenxing frowned, "As expected, all trash."
Both Character Cards were of obscure names, unknown and with ordinary strength.
Yet, when Bei Shenxing looked at Su Qi, his eyebrows lightly raised, noticing that Su Buxian had not drawn any Character Cards.
"Are you saving them for later?"
"Stocking up a bit, waiting for an auspicious moment to draw," Su Qi stated blandly: "After all, single draws don't produce miracles; ten in a row is the way to go."
Bei Shenxing fell silent, watching Su Qi. Ten in a row would need 110 keys, and given the current situation, unless the rewards in the subsequent doors increased the output, it would be a long time to stock up.
And Su Qi was just preparing. Although he had over six thousand keys, the ever-cautious Su Qi still thought it wasn't enough.
After all, his luck had always been poor; single draws couldn't produce miracles.
This had already been proven when he broke through to the Seventh Rank.
He had just barely broken through using the entire Spirit Vein of Heavenly Mountain.
And Su Qi wasn't doing nothing; he asked the Black and White Bear a question.
Learning that...these Character Cards, when used, are only projections, possessing only part of their strength and not the will,
he felt even more at ease.
Bei Shenxing looked down one of the paths: "I'm becoming increasingly eager for the doors ahead."
Su Qi also strode forward.
If this was the core area of the Dark Zone, then that meant the following doors... would gradually approach the deepest parts.
It would also come into contact with all sorts of extraordinary beings, Demigods, real Gods.
Now, they were getting closer to the cradle of the Evil God.
He would say he was exploiting a bug, but in reality, it was about gathering all his strength, preparing.
This... extreme wicked event was now quite obvious.
At the end, it would stir up past wars, with numerous extraordinary powers Descending, with many top forces engaging in outright chaotic battles! Countless worlds, countless lives would participate.
After they entered the corridor, there were different forks, different pathways, but overall, they all led downwards.
The floor had a gentle incline.
Proving that no matter which direction they went, they were actually quietly going deeper, or rather, closer to the vortex of the Dark Zone, towards the Abyss.
And this time they walked for a little while.
"What, O Venerable ones of the Abyss... what are you planning this time, can you reveal it?"
Bei Shenxing directly and unabashedly asked.
Su Qi replied with a question, "What do you think, can I reveal it?"
"If not, then not..." Bei Shenxing remained calm, lightly laughing: "But in fact, I know more than you imagine."
"Like what?" Su Qi asked with interest.
"You're not saying anything, yet you expect to get something from me?" Bei Shenxing gave Su Qi a weird look, finding him to have quite the thick skin.
