Chapter 152: Story Reshaping, Clan Conflict
Chapter 152: Story Reshaping, Clan Conflict
After a detailed analysis, Qi Sheng saw the creatures hiding at the end of the dark space.
It is not composed of physical matter, but a mass of spiritual matter blending into the darkness.
The analytical ability was activated, and the other party's information appeared in his mind.
[Book words]:
Hunting Level: Demigod Level
Objective introduction: The conscious life that controls books, pens, and pendants is the natural rule of the world of books. After the world collapsed, it descended into the monster world.
……
Just as the guiding conjecture suggests.
The so-called Book Language Clan is actually a force composed of a single life. It constructs the world within the framework of the book by writing stories and generates system troops.
Just then, the guidance interrupted his thoughts.
[Boss, there are other scenes recorded in the world of the book.]
Upon hearing this, Qi Sheng turned his attention to the rule book floating in the scene.
I scanned the book and saw five stories recorded on the opened pages.
The first story depicts a young boy named Leon on the continent of Estella. With an infinite desire to become a god, he embarks on a journey to create a legend. He starts as a soldier, builds a legion called "Light of the Dawn", and eventually rises to become the most powerful god in the world.
But unlike the background introduction, this story was interfered by an external force (an invading force) halfway through its development.
According to the background text automatically added in the story, it can be found that this force is the Black Tide.
When the consciousness tried to come into contact with this story, a large area of pitch-black pollution suddenly filled the field of vision, and countless images came through the black spots.
What appeared in Qi Sheng's mind was a scene of near collapse, with a black tide sweeping in, evil spirits rampant, and the scene full of space cracks was almost completely swallowed up by the black tide.
All living things in the entire scene are dead and withered.
By analyzing the complex text in the book, it can be found that the power of the black tide continues to penetrate into the world of the book, causing the established story background to develop in an uncontrollable direction.
In other words, the terrifying black tide destroyed the story system created by Shu Yan, and the protagonist ultimately failed to grow into a god and was strangled in the cradle by the sudden arrival of the Black Tide Demon King.
This also made Shu Yan completely stop writing about this part of the story, because the main storyline had collapsed.
But the text in this story is still being generated automatically.
The black tide devours... the black tide devours... the black tide devours... The story is describing the process of the terrifying black tide devouring and digesting the scene.
It can be seen that the framework world of books is not completely dominated by the three rule forces of "holding, pen, and writing".
Any external things that enter the book world will also affect the plot direction of the book world, and the only thing Shu Yan, who is manipulating behind the scenes, can do is to try to change the plot direction by consuming "ink power".
But this consumption is not unlimited.
Ink power is the energy used to weave the plot of the book world. Each way of rewriting will consume ink power. The higher the intensity of the rewriting, the more ink power will be consumed.
For example, if you want a warrior to gain combat power comparable to that of a god.
This description would consume a huge amount of ink power, which has exceeded the limit of the ink power stored in the space and would be impossible to generate the corresponding plot.
Both of them are used to modify scene rules, but the "Magic Lamp of Rules" controlled by the Blue Lantern Clan of Ji Le Youxuan is obviously much stronger than Shu Yan's.
In contrast, the only advantage of the power of rules that Shu Yan masters is its plasticity.
The world created by combining the hand, pen and book can generate various system arms.
Shuyan only wrote one line in the first story:
The story collapses, autophagic feedback.
The first half of this sentence can be understood as: the story is ruined and I will stop writing it.
The second half is an order to take back the ink power that constitutes the book world, but this order obviously did not succeed.
According to the analysis, the book world scene in the first story was frozen by the Evil Moon, which is a scene-constructing force far stronger than the rule book, making the book world unable to be taken back by any external force.
The scene under the illumination of the evil moon can be understood as a scene framework with higher intensity than the scene in the book.
Shu Yan issued an order, requiring the Shu World framework to disintegrate and transform into ink power to be taken back, but after Xie Yue appeared, he reinforced the entire scene into a brand new scene.
The framework of the book world is forced to continue to exist. In the process, the black tide devours the book world composed of ink power and converts it into black tide energy.
The first story ended completely badly after the appearance of the Black Tide Demon King. The protagonist, the soul of the scene, has been killed and will soon be sealed and disappear from the book.
Below this story is the second story written by Shuyan.
The background of the story is that the world has entered a new technological era.
In this era, AI intelligence and living wisdom are deeply integrated, quantum computing has enabled data processing speeds to reach unprecedented heights, and interstellar exploration has become the common dream of all living beings in the world.
In this era of rapid technological advancement, there is a city called "Evolution City", which is the world's center of technological innovation. It brings together top scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs from all over the world, who work together to promote the development of world civilization.
The protagonist "Hei Ri Da Xing"'s parents are scientists. He has been curious and passionate about science and technology since he was a child. His parents also fully support Hei Ri Da Xing's interests and help him grow into a god of science and technology.
But this story also did not develop in the planned direction.
In the later part of the story, the Black Tide Demon King came again, and the story once again collapsed.
The protagonist Black Sun controlled the mechanical army to resist the invasion of the Black Tide, but was killed by the evil spirit that controlled the Black Tide without any suspense. The story of the protagonist who lost his soul completely lost its main line.
At the end of the story, Shu Yan tried to save the ruined story, but was still unable to stop the black tide from devouring the ink power in the scene.
The third story, the fourth story... Although there was no black tide in these two stories, they were both invaded and destroyed by foreign forces, causing the stories to collapse and end badly.
The fifth story is a story with sword and magic as the background framework.
This was the frozen scene that Qi Sheng had seen before.
This story is still in its infancy, but a lot of ink has been poured into constructing the story scenes.
After reading the story, Qi Sheng was curious:
"Guide, what is the output conversion rate of Moli?"
In response to the question, the guide was silent for a moment before speaking:
[According to the analysis, every time a war ends, the book world will devour all the non-story frame materials in the scene, and the conversion rate is 29.83%. Although it cannot be compared with the terrifying black tide, it is still very good... However, devouring and transforming through war is not the core method of obtaining ink power. ]
[I have carefully examined this space and found that there are 32 projections in the scene, and these projections are producing ink power every moment.]
"What do you mean, this scene can also automatically generate resources?"
[Boss, there are many rule powers that can produce rule resources in specific ways. For example, "Fighting Spirit" produces fighting spirit power through one-on-one combat, the War Seal of the Anti-Tide Legion obtains war power through war, and the Evil Moon rule generates energy autonomously by covering the scene... These rules can generate energy autonomously in specific ways, and the same is true for the paper, pen, and book controlled by Shu Yan.]
[Shuyan connects with countless small worlds through consciousness projection, and gives his stories to the authors of the small worlds through inspiration, dreams, etc. The authors of the small worlds will record the stories written by Shuyan and then spread them. Every reader's reading of the story will generate ink power, which will then be fed back to the world composed of the written books.]
[So many writers in the small world think that they are the ones who create stories with inspiration, but in fact, what they write are stories created by Shuyan, and then spread by the hands of writers in the small world. ]
【The explanation of the background of the era before you traveled through time is that a writer suddenly got inspiration and wrote a story with a protagonist named "The Story of Black Sun's Great Journey to Become a God". He compiled his inspiration into a story and posted it on Qidian Chinese website. A large number of readers clicked to read it, which brought ink power benefits to Shuyan. The better the performance of this book, the more readers read it, and the more ink power it produced. 】
[This is the core of Moli's output, followed by devouring. Therefore, the quality of the story affects Moli's output. If you can write a hit work that is followed by countless readers around the world, Moli's output will be very impressive, and then the story scenes will develop in a better direction... If the story has no readers' attention, then this story proves that it has no potential and will be forced to end badly by Shuyan, because it does not produce Moli at all. ]
[It can be understood that every story can breed a mine that continuously produces resources, and even a good story can become a classic that is passed down from generation to generation in many small worlds, and can bring continuous ink resources to Shuyan for a long time to come. ]
[This is also why Shuyan needs to structure the story and write the system, rather than directly modifying the scene rules like the Blue Lantern Tribe. In comparison, the Blue Lantern Tribe's ability to modify rules is far stronger than Shuyan's scene world structured with pen, book, and brush, but it is not clear which one is more powerful in terms of resource acquisition.]
The explanation in the guide vividly illustrates Shuyan’s control capabilities and the two ways it acquires resources.
Qi Sheng's consciousness swept towards those projection nodes at this time.
Suddenly a lot of information flooded into my mind:
"You said you would update 10,000 words a day and never give up, but you just stopped updating and ended it with a bad ending. This move is even more unexpected than the plot twist in the story!"
"It was all written well at the beginning, but then the great black tide devil suddenly descended from the sky. What kind of bloody plot is this? The main character died. What was you thinking, author? You deserve to die!"
"Your behavior of stopping writing and ending the novel is like building a skyscraper. After the framework is set up, you only leave us with a rough draft. My enthusiasm for following the novel is like a flaming mountain that has been poured with a basin of cold water by you. It has cooled down immediately. We agreed to accompany you all the way, but you jumped out halfway and even wrote the protagonist to death. It's disgusting, so disgusting."
"I thought it was going to be a wonderful feast, but your interruption of the update was like suddenly taking away the food in the middle of a banquet, blowing up the venue, and throwing in a bunch of disgusting things. I want to ask the author if you have colluded with the villain in the novel to torture us readers, bah!"
……
The poor endings of the first four stories caused the projection feedback to be filled with readers' resentment.
Fortunately, each of Shuyan’s stories is written by a different author found in the small world, with countless aliases, otherwise the intensity of the criticism would increase by several levels.
But even though the four stories have been unfinished, there are still readers who continue to read them and they continue to produce ink.
It’s just that the ink power produced by the badly-ended stories is very scarce.
The story that Mo Li is producing most at this stage is the fifth story he is currently writing, which is the story with "Hong Yun Fan Tian" as the protagonist.
This time, Shu Yan set the scene near the Ascending Clan's territory. It is likely that he has ideas about the Ascending Clan and wants to gain extra ink power by devouring them.
Since he did this, it proves that Shu Yan is confident in taking down the Ascending Clan and has even launched an investigation in advance.
Just as Qi Sheng was feeling curious about this, the pen and the handle in the space suddenly moved.
Below the fifth story, a paragraph was written: Story reshaping, autophagic feedback.
In Qi Sheng's view, this sentence was undoubtedly a eunuch's declaration. In other words, Shu Ling took the initiative to give up the fifth story structure.
As the order was given, the scene constructed by the fifth story collapsed, and the ink power was withdrawn to the scene where Shu Yan was like the receding tide.
Holding the pen and swiping across the rule book, the sixth story is being generated quickly.
Through analysis, Qi Sheng discovered that this story was actually written with the Ascending Clan's breeding world as the reference background framework.
The protagonist of the new story is a practitioner named "Da Ri".
During the years of cultivation and growth, he discovered that although the world of immortal cultivation seemed prosperous, it actually hid a huge secret.
The creatures from the upper realm use a parasitic way to seduce those from the lower realm, just like a shepherd herding sheep, and control everything in the world of cultivation.
They set the cultivation rules for cultivators, guided the direction of life levels, and allowed cultivators to continuously pursue higher realms on the track they defined. The ultimate goal of all this is to allow the cultivators who have grown up with great effort to become the objects of possession by the Ascending Clan, and complete the incubation through borrowing bodies.
When Qi Sheng saw the three words "Ascension Clan" through analysis, he realized Shu Yan's purpose.
This guy had obviously investigated the system architecture of the Ascending Clan and made up this story in an attempt to dig up the roots of the Ascending Clan.
As expected, this story would be implanted by Shu Yan in the form of a projection into the small world where the Ascending Clan raises living creatures, sowing the seeds of doubt.
[It's a good idea. First cut off the subsequent combat power output of the Ascending Clan, and then fight a war of attrition with the Ascending Clan by connecting the domains. In this process, Shuyan can obtain continuous output of ink power from the projections of other small worlds. However, if the Ascending Clan loses the combat power units produced by the small worlds, it will inevitably be swallowed up by the story world controlled by Shuyan in the continuous war of attrition.]
[But this set of tactics has a prerequisite. The strength of the story scenes written by Shuyan can resist the first few rounds of attacks from the Ascending Clan... The prerequisite for a protracted war is to have the strength to compete with them, and then the impact of subsequent combat power and resource supply on the protracted war. ]
Qi Sheng was also curious about the questions raised in the guidance.
Just when Qi Sheng wanted to analyze in depth how much ink power Shu Yan had mastered, the guide suddenly took his consciousness away from the dark space where Shu Yan was and came to the outside world.
The original magical world scene has disappeared. The world in the scene is like a canvas splashed with various colors. Space and time are messed up here, with no rules at all.
The normal world is constructed by countless basic elemental light spots and regular lines, but the current book world scene is a chaotic state where nothing is born.
As the pen writes, ink continues to be injected into the world of scenes.
Just like the beginning of chaos, the black air currents meandered like spirit snakes, gathering and condensing.
In an instant, a dazzling light flashed, as if the creator god swung the first axe to create the world, and the space expanded rapidly.
As the chaotic energy was stirred, it seemed as if it was being gently manipulated by an invisible giant hand.
A wisp of light and invisible breath was born in the scene. This breath was light and free, not bound by anything. This was the prototype of wind.
The breath of wind shuttled through the chaotic scene, bringing the first trace of movement to the world.
As the wind danced, tiny water droplets condensed from the chaos, gathered in the air, and finally turned into a continuous drizzle, nourishing this unformed scene world. The breath of water was generated at this moment.
After the wind and rain, a dazzling light streaked across the sky, and the breath of thunder was born at this moment...
After the basic elements that constitute the world's framework were continuously generated, the material world began to be established. A towering and majestic peak rose first from the ground and reached the sky. The peak was hidden in the lingering clouds. The mountain was composed of a kind of spiritual rock that emitted a faint light, and strange spiritual plants grew between the cracks in the rocks.
Then various creatures were outlined with ink, some looked like phoenixes spreading their wings to fly, and some looked like dragons swimming windingly.
Beneath the peaks, spiritual springs gurgled out, forming a vast spiritual lake. Then gorgeous spiritual clouds formed in the sky like burning flames. The white mist turned into unpredictable spiritual clouds, like galloping horses or blooming flowers.
On the vast plains beside the lake, spiritual grass grows in abundance, and the mortal creatures generated by ink power enter the Stone Age on this land.
With the continuous infusion of ink power, their growth is like a movie with the accelerator pressed, with more and more people joining in the process.
Soon, some mortals comprehended the laws of heaven and earth and embarked on the path of cultivation.
A few minutes later, the caves of the immortal cultivators were scattered all over the mountainside. Some were carved out of the mountain, with powerful defensive restrictions set up at the cave entrances. Spiritual light was flowing, while others were suspended in the air, wrapped in layers of spiritual mist, like jade buildings in fairyland... The era of immortal cultivation had arrived.
After that, there were flashes of light across the sky from time to time, and immortal cultivators rode their magic weapons to travel through the heaven and earth.
Occasionally, one can see huge spiritual birds carrying cultivators soaring into the sky. Their wings are several feet wide when spread, and they create gusts of wind when flapping.
At this moment, a brilliant rainbow appeared in the sky.
The protagonist "Da Ri" in the story scene is about to be born.
Qi Sheng felt ashamed when he saw this scene. He found that the birth of the protagonist in every story told by Shu Yan was always accompanied by auspicious signs from heaven.
But he didn't think about this question carefully.
The rosy clouds are like a brocade carefully woven by the Weaver Girl, covering the entire sky. The rosy clouds are shining with golden light, as if countless stars are jumping in them, dazzling and brilliant.
With a cry, the sun was born.
The story soon comes to the point where Da Ri enters the mountain to cultivate immortality and begins his journey to find immortality.
In fact, the Da Ri in the story has been endowed with intelligence, but he does not know that he is just the protagonist of a story and his life trajectory is controlled by Shu Yan, which is comparable to the laws of nature.
Seeing this, Qi Sheng suddenly thought of the many novels he had read before traveling through time.
In those stories, the God who controls the world always appears as a villain.
Shuyan's behavior perfectly fits this setting.
The plot continued to accelerate, and with the continuous infusion of ink power, Da Ri's hunting level continued to increase, reaching level 24 in the blink of an eye.
In the scene, Da Ri comes to the village at the foot of the mountain and kowtows in front of his parents' tombstone. The moment he turns around and leaves, he abandons the mundane world and devotes himself to seeking the illusory yet long-cherished method of immortality.
The consumption of ink power increases, and the scene story continues to advance.
In this process, the world framework (scene) is constantly expanding.
Sect trials, secret treasure hunts, adventures, the road to revenge... Each story will increase the area of the world scene, and the ink power required will increase exponentially.
Soon, the scene took the area around the mountain where it was first created as the starting point and generated a bizarre little world.
At this time, Da Ri was already the sect's supreme elder, and his hunting level had reached 109. He no longer cared about the sect's affairs. The only thing on his mind was the way to immortality, and he only hoped to achieve the great way before the five decays of the celestial being, and ascend to heaven.
But as his strength level increased, Da Ri in the story scene gradually discovered the problems of cultivating immortals.
He detected that the spiritual roots in his body seemed to be hiding some big secret.
The acceleration of time slows down at this point, and the story content begins to be carefully crafted.
In addition to enhancing the appeal of the story, this is also done to reduce the amount of ink invested.
When the story progresses to the point where Da Ri discovers clues of cultivating immortals and is shocked, he begins to lay out a plan to fight against the villain forces set up in the story: the Ascension Clan.
Through a series of research, Da Ri killed the parasites planted by the Ascending Clan in his body and united various forces to prepare to go against the will of heaven.
At this point in the story, the scene suddenly freezes.
It was obvious that Shuyan stopped controlling the pen.
Just when Qi Sheng was puzzled by this, the scene suddenly shook, and a large number of members of the Ascending Clan broke through the fog of the scene and appeared, attacking again.
This time, Shu Yan has to face the Ascending Clan who are well prepared.
Subsequent content is automatically generated in the rule book, and text description is inserted: Seeing through the secrets of heaven, the crime is unforgivable, and ascension is coming!
Obviously, the story has been set up in advance, and the subsequent story is just waiting for the invasion of the Ascended Clan.
The battle between Shuyan and the Feisheng clan begins again.
But this time, the combat power system controlled by Shu Yan underwent a drastic change.
The story transformed from sword and magic to a system of cultivating immortals, and entered the stage of rebelling against the ascending tribe.
At the same time, a post sparked heated discussion in the player forum.
[While exploring, I accidentally discovered that the Feisheng Clan and the newly arrived Shuyan Clan were fighting. Are there any brothers who want to watch the live broadcast? 】
This post immediately attracted a large number of players to enter the live broadcast room to watch the show.
This is also the first time that players have seen a peak contest between powerful tribes.
Although he had seen confrontations between champion fighters and members of the Ascended Clan in the live broadcast room before, those were only small-scale battles and could not be called wars at all.
During this period, there were also players who majored in controlling souls and went out to the live broadcast location, hoping to squat near the battle point between the two races and pick up the remaining blood.
The first level 75 pet in the entire server was obtained through the Ascended Clan, making countless players envious.
Now that they have finally waited for a large-scale war, the first thing that players who major in controlling souls think of is to join in the fun. Who knows, a low-health monster might fall from the sky and hit them on the head, allowing them to have a powerful brother.
Secondly, there are also player teams that want to take advantage of the battlefield by finishing off the enemies.
Although it is impossible to break through the defense of monsters with high hunting levels, the monster's body functions will not repair themselves when it is on the verge of death, but will only get worse.
When the time comes, put on the Blood-Burning Soul that can deal real damage, and you will become rich overnight.
The conflicts among major powers that other races try to avoid are, in the eyes of players, a land of wealth filled with opportunities.
