Chapter 218: Don’t look back, Elf sister, I am your sister! In the branded consciousness space, the old man who was the incarnation of the World Tree covered his forehead with his hands, feeling an extremely painful headache: "Rani, don't force me to do it."Lani emphasized: "Call me Diabolos." The incarnated old man said earnestly: "Lani, hurry up and leave here with me, and don't affect the progress of the trial anymore." Lani continued to emphasize: "Call me Diabolos." The incarnation of an old man patiently advised: "Every minute you are here, you are affecting the development of the trial. If this continues, the difficulty of Li Cheng's trial will rise to an unpredictable level, Lani." Lani repeatedly emphasized: "I told you, call me Diabolos!" The incarnated old man roared: "If you dare to compete with me again, I will banish you from the World Tree forever and never give you any chance to come in and eat for free! Damn it, give me the medicine, take the medicine!" "..." Lani was silent for a moment, then looked at Li Cheng: "Hey, this is just an illusion anyway, these drugs have no effect on me, I just took them, so that this old guy won't bother me all the time. Lord Destiny, please don't really think I'm sick." Li Cheng: “…” Li Cheng: "I understand, I understand everything. Don't worry, I completely trust your identity." Half a minute later, Lani took the medicine that transformed her into an old man and looked at Li Cheng, puzzled: "Hey, who are you? Hey, who am I? Where is this? What am I doing here?"

Li Cheng: “…” "Haha, just kidding, Lord of Fate Nyarlathip, of course I remember your identity, and I remember mine too." Lani smiled slyly, placed an emblem in Li Cheng's palm, and showed a bright and sunny smile: "In that case, I will leave here first. When you return to Full Moon Academy, we will meet again." "As for the rest, I don't need to say more. The Emperor knows that fate is predetermined. What is destined to happen will happen, and what is not destined to happen will not happen." "Rihanna is a poor kid, but her end is sealed." "Emperor, please be careful not to cause bad karma because of her fate." As she spoke, Lani's body was shrouded in black mist. Her figure gradually became blurred, and finally disappeared in this space. The corner of the old man's mouth twitched: "It's over, it's over, it feels like this guy's illness is getting worse." He looked at Li Cheng again, took out the medicine bottle, and said suspiciously: "Boy, do you want some too?" “No, no, no, I don’t need it.” Li Cheng waved his hands quickly: “Ahem, what I just said about Nyarlathotep was just made up. You know, I can’t beat that crazy woman, ahem.” "Hmm..." The incarnated old man nodded, and just as he was about to say something, another crack appeared behind him. Then, the Witch of Death poked her head out and stared at Li Cheng: "Who do you say is a crazy woman?" Li Cheng: “…” The incarnated old man: “…” Both of them were sweating profusely in an instant. Li Cheng's toes even dug out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment from his shoes. In silence, Lani remained calm, but suddenly walked around the incarnated old man and sent a voice message to Li Cheng: "As expected of the Emperor Nyarlathip, you are indeed a hero among the gods. You actually chose to pretend to be a psychopath and deceive this foolish old man." "Emperor, I am indeed too straightforward, far from you."

Lani's logic is very simple - she first makes sure that she is not sick and is a normal person, not a psychopath. Therefore, those who think she is crazy are naturally crazy themselves. Li Cheng pretended to be like them, which naturally meant pretending to be a psychopath. What a rigorous logic. Li Cheng: “…” Li Cheng: “…” Li Cheng stood with his hands behind his back, looking down on the world: "Ha, I didn't expect you to see through my plan. That's right, I just want to pretend to be a psychopath, blend in with these fools who can't see through the illusion, use them, guide them, and break the illusion." "Sir Diabolos was able to see through my plan. I recognize your wisdom." Lani: "Okay, okay." Li Cheng: "Basic exercises are not allowed." Lani: "Retreat first." Li Cheng: "Goodbye." Just like that, the Witch of Death disappeared once again. The incarnated old man: “…” "Li Cheng, I just felt like someone was scolding me, do you have any idea?" "Hehe, I think this is an illusion, what do you think?" Li Cheng blinked. "Okay, well, this time Lani barged in here, it's my fault..." At this point, the incarnated old man looked at Li Cheng suspiciously again: "Let me ask you, are you sure you don't need to take medicine?" "I'm really not sick, brother." Li Cheng was speechless. "That's what Lani said." "..." "Forget it. Seeing how you were born, you probably have nothing to do with mental illness. Anyway, I was indeed inconsiderate this time. Well, she won't come again. Okay, you continue the trial, and I'll withdraw." The incarnated old man waved his hand and was about to leave. "Wait a minute!" Li Cheng was unhappy: "I say, Master World Tree, is your apology just a few words?" "..." The incarnated old man stopped and narrowed his eyes: "Li Cheng, do you know what you are saying? I am the incarnation of the World Tree and the builder of this trial. I apologize to you, which is already a great honor for you. What else do you want?" "So... you mean, I don't deserve your apology?" Li Cheng used regeneration to save the game. After making sure he was safe, he looked at him resentfully: "A weak person like me doesn't deserve an apology from a strong person like you, nor does he deserve your compensation?" “……”The corners of the incarnated old man’s mouth twitched. If he hadn't known that this thing was a newborn Dongxi, he would have really been fooled and thought he was pitiful. But now, he just felt that this thing was really an old hermaphrodite.

So, the incarnated old man said sarcastically: "Oh, who can look down upon you, Lord Li Cheng? You are the rising star of the east sun, which is unseen in eternity. Tsk tsk tsk, all right, get out of here as far as you can. Hurry up, get out." "Don't force me to increase the difficulty of the trial several times." "Okay, okay, old man, you are strong, you are awesome, you are mighty." Li Cheng gave a thumbs up: "I can't compare to you." "That's right, it's good to know." The incarnated old man waved his hand: "Just do what you should do, don't look for trouble." Li Cheng continued, "But, old man, you don't want the World Tree to know about your mistakes, right?" The incarnated old man: “???” Li Cheng's words were extremely confident, and the old man's narrowed eyes slowly widened, and there was a lot more scrutiny in his eyes when he looked at him. "How did you deduce that the World Tree could punish me?" "Guess?" Li Cheng smiled. He didn't guess it. In fact, this is basically the game setting in the PC version. The rules of the World Tree gave birth to the secret realm. The so-called incarnation is not the rules of the World Tree itself, but only a manager who can borrow power and is naturally subject to the constraints of the rules. Although Quantum Technology has said before that this version of the secret realm is generated by AI technology, the appearance of the manager is different from that of the PC version. But as long as this setting exists, it is absolutely impossible for the incarnated old man to disobey the rules of the World Tree. "Oh, I really misjudged you. I know you are a smart person, but I didn't expect you to be so sharp." The incarnated old man sighed. During the long river of time, although not many, the incarnated old man still established connections with several outstanding trial-takers. Unfortunately, none of these trial-takers could figure out his relationship with the World Tree. That’s right, although he is called the incarnation of the world tree, he is not the world tree itself, but only the incarnation of one of its roots. His root is responsible for managing the secret realm of this destiny world. The World Tree itself is immersed in a fantasy dream, recuperating and resting, and in the dream it is connected to countless different worlds and times, creating different secret realms. If the trial-taker didn't care about something like today, it would be fine. If the trial-taker complains at the final settlement, then he, as the manager, will still have to pay a heavy price. "Tell me what compensation you want. I can agree to it within my duties." The incarnated old man sighed and looked at Li Cheng with some disdain. To be honest, he didn't want to give Chu Sheng Dong Xi any compensation at all. You know, what the incarnated old man hates most is overtime. And today, because of this Chusheng Dongxi and that psychopath Lani, he has already worked overtime.

Not only do I have to work overtime, but I also have to compensate this newborn Dongxi... Doesn't this mean working at your own expense? Li Cheng laughed when he saw the constipated expression of the old man. The more uncomfortable this guy feels, the more it shows that Li Cheng did the right thing. He thought for a moment and pointed at Rihanna: "Then the compensation I want is to wake up this girl and solve her problems." Waking up Rihanna should be the last step in Regina's quest line. Li Cheng wants to try and see if he can use the evil method to pass quickly. But upon hearing this, the incarnated old man frowned, extremely surprised. He never expected that the compensation Li Cheng wanted was this matter. Are you willing to risk my wrath in order to save an innocent girl? Although this kid was born a little bit awkward, he is really kind and gentle by nature. "Alas, what a pity, Li Cheng." The incarnated old man shook his head: "I can't help you with this matter." "Tsk, it's really useless." Li Cheng curled his lips. "..." The incarnated old man was not angry, and continued: "Rihanna is a sealed door, and she bears the fate of being an eternally sleeping witch. If she wakes up, the world will suffer a catastrophe, so it is impossible for me to help you wake her up." "The abyss is invading, but the Destiny World still has a chance of survival. However, if the world connected to Rihanna descends, this world will only be destroyed." "I'm not helping you because of the world. This is my duty." "So, forget it. Sacrificing one person to save the world is a highly cost-effective exchange." "In fact, it was an unequal exchange." It is indeed like this. Pushing players into a dilemma and making them struggle in the contradiction, the stronger the sense of immersion, the more painful it is. The old flavor of this game is back. Li Cheng sighed inwardly, but he doubted the possibility of this plot. You should know that in the PC version, Liuli's fate is also unsolvable, and players can only choose between killing her and GAME OVER. But in this version, Liuli can be redeemed. Does that mean that Rihanna's fate can also be rewritten? At that time, Liuli's fate was rewritten, not only allowing Li Cheng to obtain a female dragon transformation device, but also allowing him to obtain the artifact [Dagger of the End]. This artifact was later combined into the [Sword of the End], which became his most important weapon. It also transformed Regina into the "Unknown Tribe", opened up her side quest, and allowed Li Cheng to meet Rihanna. The two plots are closely linked. It can be said that if Liuli's fate had not been changed, Li Cheng would not even be qualified to start this Rihanna plot. Does this mean that Rihanna’s storyline can be the same and have a perfect ending? If you succeed, what rewards will you get? Liuli's dowry is the only artifact called [Dagger of the End].

Then, wouldn't the dowry given by Rihanna, who is more difficult to save than Liuli, be stronger than the [Dagger of the End]? As a collector, Li Cheng absolutely cannot let the new equipment slip away from him. So, he took a long breath, pretended to be bitter and resentful, and looked at the incarnated old man: "Tell me, for the sake of the people of the world, I should give up my ego and exchange my life for the happiness of the people." "Well, yes, this is a good deal." The incarnated old man nodded. "Both you and Lani are talking about saving the people of the world. In order to save the people of the world, this girl must be sacrificed." Li Cheng shook his head. "This makes me feel quite ridiculous. For the sake of the world, this girl would rather sacrifice herself and seal the entrance to the evil god's erosion in her body, sleeping forever." "But you guys are not even willing to make the effort to save her." "Then I want to ask, does this girl not count as one of the common people in the world?" The incarnated old man: “…” "Since you want to save the people, why not save her? The slogans are loud and clear, but you are completely indifferent to the people who really need help." Li Cheng sighed and continued, "If we can't save one person, how can we save the people of the world?" The incarnated old man looked at Li Cheng silently. After a while, he slowly exhaled: "To be honest, I didn't expect that a jerk like you could say such a thing. Yes, you are right. Both me and Lani are too good at speaking sweet words." "So?" Li Cheng looked at him. "But I still can't help you with this matter. The risk is too great." The incarnated old man shook his head and said from the bottom of his heart: "I'm sorry." Li Cheng was not disappointed, but continued to ask: "Old man, since you said the risk is too great, it means that you do know how to save her, right?" “Well, I know, but I can’t tell you.” The incarnated old man shook his head: “You don’t know what kind of place the evil god’s world is.” "Let me put it this way. The battle between Destiny Continent and the Abyss is a battle between civilizations. Although I favor Destiny Continent, I will not interfere too much. If Destiny loses in the end, it is just fate." "The master of this world will change from one to another." "But the world where those evil gods live is different." “They are not civilized.” "They are the end of the world." “If the passage is opened, what awaits the Destiny Continent is a doomsday of chaos.” "By then, this world bubble will completely disappear." "Nothing will be left." "I know you can't fully understand what I'm telling you." The incarnated old man shook his head: "But this is all I can tell you. Your strength is too weak. If you hear more secrets, you will go crazy." You made such a grand background setting, worthy of you, quantum technology... Li Cheng raised his eyebrows: "Then what level do I need to reach if I want to know those secrets?" "At the very least, you must become the king of the new god and enact your own laws." The incarnated old man smiled, "Or... you must completely expel the Abyss and replace Him. Only then will you be qualified to hear the truth of this world." So, this is the content of the second week... Li Cheng roughly understood it. "So, let's change the compensation, Li Cheng."

This time, there was no more disdain in the old man's eyes when he looked at Li Cheng. All that remains is regret. Li Cheng also raised his head and looked at him. After a few seconds, he said softly, "I think it would be better if you tell me the way to save her. I mean the way to wake her up without letting the evil god come." "Don't be so stubborn. I've already told you that the risk is too great..." "Because even if you don't tell me, I will still find a way to save him myself." Li Cheng spread his hands: "By then, if I really make the wrong effort and let the evil god in, we'll all be finished." The incarnated old man: “…” "You should know very well that keeping one's word has always been my way of ninja." Li Cheng looked at him firmly. Incarnation of an old man: "I *********" "Hey, you customer service, why are you still cursing?" Li Cheng was furious: "Do you believe that I will go to the World Tree to complain about you?" "Haha, if you can't handle it, then you're just forcing me? I think you, Chu Sheng Dong Xi, are a good person. This is the biggest stain in my life." The incarnated old man sneered: "But, guess why Lani and I are willing to tell you this information?" "What do you mean?" Li Cheng narrowed his eyes. "Because she and I both know that with your current status, it is impossible to save Rihanna. She is the eternally sleeping witch, and she possesses the power of a witch, which is a great power that transcends the common sense of the world and exists to correct the world." "It is the same power that I obtained directly from the roots of the World Tree." The old man in disguise smiled and said, "You said you wanted to wake up Regina, so you can try." "As long as you try, you will know how insignificant you are in front of truly powerful forces." "So, I'm not worried about your threats at all. Your threats are no threat to me." "What are you talking about?" Li Cheng looked at him coldly, wondering whether he should save face for this old man again. "Haha, that's enough. I'm tired. Let's stop here for today." The incarnated old man smiled and said, "Tell me what compensation you want. If you don't want it, you can complain to me when you settle the bill." "Although that will cost me a bit, it's better than wasting time and suffering here with you, Chu Sheng Dong Xi." "Okay." Li Cheng knew that Old Deng would not give in. After thinking for a while, he came up with a backup plan: "Well, first, I want you to lift the restriction that my name will be transmitted if it is exposed during the trial." "Second, well, just give me a pill that can bring me back to life." "Third, I want a divine weapon no less powerful than the Sword of the End." "Fourth, I want an opportunity to make unlimited wishes to you." "Fifth, I want to..." "Stop, stop, stop. You make so many demands right away? Are you asking me for compensation or to make a wish? Do you want me to give you a hundred?" The incarnated old man said in a yin-yang tone. "Huh? You can only propose a hundred? You told me how many of my requirements you would like to meet!" Li Cheng was horrified: "Then I have to carefully cut down a few hundred..." “You…” The incarnated old man couldn’t hold it in any longer: “Only two. I can give you two choices at most!” Hearing this, Li Cheng curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

People are always compromising. If he had only made one or two requests at the beginning, Old Deng would definitely find a way to resist. But if he mentioned so many at the beginning, Lao Deng would give him two. "Then I will have my identity restrictions lifted, and I will also get the elixir that can bring back the dead." Li Cheng said after thinking for a while. The first one is for the next operation, and the second one is a prop to save your life. But it’s not to save your own life, but to save the NPC’s. "You have quite a big appetite. I'll give it to you. We're even now, you bastard." Although the incarnated old man said this, his eyes were not angry. Instead, there was a sense of indebtedness in them. Perhaps if he were not the incarnation of the World Tree, but just a human being. He will also choose to save this poor girl Rihanna. After giving the blessing and props to Li Cheng, the incarnated old man disappeared from this space just like Lani. After he disappeared for a long time, Lilith poked her cat head out from her crotch: "Hey, Li Cheng, you...are you still planning to save that Rihanna?" "You really understand me." Li Cheng rubbed her head. "Haha, not only do I understand you, I also know that it's useless to stop you." Lilith yawned: "Then what are you going to do? According to the old man, he is not worried at all that you will wake up Rihanna." "Not to mention, there is a portal to the evil god in Regina's body. If we use the wrong method, we will be in big trouble." "Since he doesn't want to tell me, I'll force him to tell me." Li Cheng showed a warm and sunny smile: "Now, this old man doesn't want to say it because he thinks I can't force Rihanna to wake up." "In other words, as long as I can prove myself, I can forcibly wake up Rihanna." "Then my threat will work. In order to prevent me from attracting the evil god, the old man will tell me the correct way to awaken her." "..." Lilith thought for a long time and finally figured out the logic behind it: "Haha, this is really your style. But, what are you going to do? According to what he said, your strength is not enough... Oh, I understand!" Lilith clapped her cat paws and said, "You plan to come back to save Rihanna after you clear the level, right?" "Well, by then, you will either be the promulgator of new laws, or have replaced the will of the abyss. You can do whatever you want! Li Cheng, you must be very careful this time, meow!" After Ragdoll Cat finished talking to herself, she suddenly realized that Li Cheng was looking at her as if she was an idiot. Lilith: "..." "Am I wrong, meow?" "It's too slow and a waste of time. Besides, if we do that, Rihanna's dowry can only be used in the second round." Li Cheng shook his head: "Well, the method you mentioned is the choice of normal players." "But I am an evil player." As he said that, he looked at Rihanna: "Isn't it the power of the witch? Who doesn't have it?" During the conversation, countless regenerative forces surged out of his body and enveloped Rihanna's body. He had discovered before that the power of regeneration could resist the erosion of this world. Since we can defend, we can naturally attack.

Sure enough, after the regenerative power penetrated into Rihanna's body, the system's voice rang. [Your regenerative power has corroded the body of the Eternal Sleeping Witch Rihanna. You have taken the witch power that was contaminated by the Outer God of Fear from her. Your regenerative power has been consumed by 100 people, and you have gained 1 person's regenerative power...] "Damn it, the electric meter can't be reversed..." Li Cheng frowned. This was the first time that resource acquisition could not keep up with consumption. Moreover, the conversion ratio between the two parties reached an astonishing 100:1. "If I want to forcibly consume all the witch power in her body, how much regenerative power will be needed?" Li Cheng muttered to himself. [The estimate is not accurate, but it will cost at least 5000 million. ] "5000 million...what a scary number." Li Cheng's mouth curled up. Although this number is terrifying, it is not impossible for him to do it. If all the demons in the entire territory of the Wrathful Father God were sacrificed. If during the sacrifice process, he also lets them carefully help him carry the baby for ten months and nurture the power of regeneration, then maybe that would be enough. If that's not enough... Humph, isn’t there a demigod? "I think my plan this time will be a little more radical." Li Cheng showed a sunny and warm smile. When Lilith saw that smile, she shuddered. She knew very well that whenever Li Cheng showed this expression, something extremely incredible would happen. …… On the other side, the incarnated old man who returned to the roots of the World Tree was shocked when he felt the regenerative power of Li Cheng entering Rihanna's body. "Damn it, I forgot this kid can also use witch powers!" "You are obviously a man, but you use the power of a witch. You are really nothing, Li Cheng." "Damn, there is this regeneration power, why is it similar to my thinking power..." "But if you think about it carefully, it does make sense. The Witch of Rebirth is the first of the seven witches to be born. She represents the authority of 'life' among the witches." "Damn it, this witch of regeneration is too stupid. If she hadn't been tricked by this Li Cheng beast... I wouldn't be so passive!" The incarnated old man hesitated, and for a moment, he didn't know what to do. At this moment, he felt that the regenerative power stopped, while the witch power in Rihanna's body had hardly diminished. “Pfft, hahahaha, I’m also worried and confused!” The incarnated old man laughed out loud: “I’m actually worried that this guy will use the power of regeneration to wake up Rihanna…” "How much will that cost?"

"Ten million, twenty million, fifty million?" "How can a rookie who is not even at the fourth level get so much regenerative power?" "Is it by making a wish?" “Hahahahahaha! If he could muster this much regenerative power, I would eat this table right now!” The incarnated old man pointed proudly at the table where he was eating. But I saw Lani sitting at the table, tapping her chopsticks against Tiequan: "Bang, bang, bang..." The incarnated old man: “…” Lani: "Is today's meal not ready yet? I want to eat. I'm so hungry." The incarnated old man: “…” Lani: "Why don't you say something? Didn't you say that as long as I take my medicine properly, I can come to your place for dinner?" The incarnated old man: “…” Lani: "If you don't want to cook, you can prepare to eat this table and show me how to do it." The incarnated old man sneered: "Oh, Lani, you overestimated that young man. I'll put it this way, there is no way this guy can gather enough regenerative power!" "I can make this bet with you." "Interesting, old man, this is really rare, you actually took the initiative to make a bet with me." The Witch of Death looked at him with interest: "Well, I bet that you will definitely eat this table, how about it?" "Haha, if I win, you have to take your medicine well, and you are absolutely not allowed to bother me again!" The incarnated old man also laughed. Fifty million regenerative powers, that’s fifty million lives! Even if the sacrifice is a transcendental being, the amount required is enormous. Could it be possible that the rising East Xi could refine the entire Furious Father God territory? Impossible, absolutely impossible! (End of this chapter)
