Chapter 280: Headlines Again
Chapter 280: Headlines Again
Not counting the spiritual soil, the combination of the three divine organs - the demon dog's brain, the cursed fingers, and the spider queen's silk sac - is enough to create a top fisherman in the extraordinary world.
Become a bait eater who spreads bait everywhere and waits for big fish to take the bait?
It was difficult for Li Yu to resist such temptation.
But he was unwilling to risk his life for this.
So, he had to "fish" the Toad God first.
No additional protection or benefits are given!
He, Li Yu, would choose to give up.
And he also had a vague feeling that he, Li Yu, himself was a very valuable bait and the Toad God would take the bait.
This man is a god!
This is where the game of push and pull begins.
And the moment Li Yu hung up the call, the result came out.
The link that should have been broken was maintained by a powerful force.
A new spiritual response from the Toad God was transmitted.
Inside, there was indeed what Li Yu wanted.
"Other conditions remain unchanged. I must stay in Wanfu City with my original body until the big mess that has developed from my scam comes to fruition."
"But Toad God will give me two extra benefits."
"First, give me a chance to use the [Mysterious Toad Scroll] for free. Without any sacrifice cost, I can summon the descendants of the Toad God with different characteristics in the scroll."
"Secondly, he can help me at a critical moment and 'change my fate' once. At that time, the Toad God will bless me from a distance with his true god body, making my fate invulnerable to all gods and having a high luck attribute for a period of time."
……
When Li Yu finished reading the content of the spiritual response, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"The Toad God is truly a pure god of fun."
"It's a huge investment just to watch the fun."
"Using the secret scroll for free is nothing. It's just that he gave me some of his descendants to use for a while."
"But the second benefit is much more significant."
As someone who likes to do some cool stuff, after understanding the effectiveness of that method, I immediately thought of some wonderful ways to use it.
Change your destiny against the will of heaven!
What do these four words represent?
There is no other reason, it’s the treatment of being the protagonist that makes the whole world revolve around you.
To give an example: If the Toad God was willing to [change Li Yu's fate] once from a distance in the strange domain of the Death Star, then even if Li Yu did nothing afterwards, he would not die, and there would be no danger... On the contrary, as Li Yu's enemy, Shang Yang's bad luck would be intensified.
In the end, it will most likely still end up with five balls torn into pieces.
Any practitioner in this world would dream of such a situation, not to mention the subsequent blessing of great luck.
This is already an unstoppable weapon and ability.
The temptation is really huge.
Even Li Yu was wildly excited at this moment.
Fortunately, Li Yu remained calm because he valued his own life.
In my mind, I continue to ponder:
"The future changes in Wanfu City will be very dangerous. High-Sequence Powerhouses may easily die there... If there are no other variables, someone like me who can cause trouble and has terrible enemies will definitely die if I stay."
"But now, there are many variables. In addition to the Toad God's almost absolute life-saving promise, there are also things like red beans and the little robot. If you are careful, it shouldn't be difficult to survive."
"More importantly, after I accept the reward, I can be promoted to Lord Shibai in a very short time."
"That's when!"
"Not to mention the terrifying power I will possess after my top promotion, my ability to save my life alone will increase many times."
"My original body must be left behind, but there is no rule that I cannot leave some flesh and blood or bait in other worlds as a backup for resurrection."
"Besides, the nature of the Spiritual Venerable Path has now been fully exposed... It is to stir up trouble, constantly stir up trouble, and take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and become powerful."
"So being hated by gods and ghosts, being hostile to the gods' followers, and being hunted down is all fate."
"Even if I escape from Wanfu City, those misfortunes and disasters will still find me. I might as well seize every opportunity to become stronger..."
"received!"
"From today on, try to be a fisherman?"
After some careful consideration, Li Yu made up his mind.
In the end, he was still unable to withstand the "crazy rewards" from the top brother on the list, chose not to work hard, and succumbed to the treasures and power that were within his reach.
The moment Li Yu agreed, the huge reward from the Toad God came immediately.
Li Yu was afraid that if he delayed for another second, he would give up and regret it.
Two "organs" surging with strong devouring divinity were thrown into Li Yu's hands through the air.
A rotten finger that is dark purple in color and several times longer than a human finger.
A mass of bloody flesh but with a lot of silver threads entangled inside.
nausea!
Stinky!
But when Li Yu looked at them, he couldn't help but start to swallow his saliva.
A strong desire to devour is born.
It was obvious that his sequence realm had exceeded the limit, and his body and soul were urging him to complete the promotion.
Taoist Changsheng could no longer satisfy Li Yu. "How long has it been since I first learned about the secret medicine formula and promotion ceremony of [Shibai Zhenjun], and I gathered the three main ingredients?"
"Throughout history, I'm afraid no one has ever been faster than me."
"This is the power of the 'divine vein'. Although there is some cost upfront, the benefits are incredible."
"As long as Hongdou exchanges the [Demon Dog Brain] and sends it to me, I can find an opportunity to advance to Sequence Four."
“I’m really looking forward to it.”
While thinking about it, Li Yu also used some means to convey the exchange requirements to Hongdou.
She was not allowed to change before because the target had not been determined. After all, the merit points she had were enough to exchange for three things.
The thing called "formless dirty clothes" is quite effective.
But now, there is the best option.
"The spiritual soil can ensure that I am indestructible and immortal... The cursed finger allows me to mix bait... The spider queen's silk sac can increase my ability to cause trouble and hide behind the scenes several times... The demon dog's brain can make me escape quickly. Even if I am targeted by the evil god, as long as there is a slight opportunity, I can escape through space."
“If these methods were used in other ways, I’m afraid they would have allowed me to directly reach Sequence Three.”
"However, it is not easy to plant the secret medicine in the body. We still need to wait for an opportunity..."
A night passed while Li Yu was thinking very carefully.
When he opened his eyes again, he was just an ordinary coal shoveler.
Follow other workers to a section of the train to collect today's supplies.
Li Yu was already an expert at "acting", and with the perfect appearance given to him by Zuo Ci, there wasn't even a single flaw.
Who would have thought?
A man mixed in with a group of smelly workers is actually the most talented person in Wanfu City.
Unfortunately, this title will become history for some time to come.
Apart from women, the favorite entertainment activity of the lower-level workers is gambling.
And Wanfu Daily!
The relevant sections have been opened long ago, and the number of subscriptions has increased significantly as a result.
But today, the workers who had just received the latest issue of Wanfu Daily had not had time to turn to that section.
First, because of the front-page headlines, people screamed and wailed.
Make the title bigger and bolder.
Good news!
Wanfu City's number one prodigy, Lord of the Star of Misfortune, had perished together with his mortal enemy, Lord of the Star of Wisdom, Shang Yang, in the latest expedition to the Strange Territory.
Below the title is a description that looks quite credible.
It was provided by Li Yu himself, polished by Zuo Ci, and written in the precious treasure [Book of Red Dust].
Now it has even been copied to the headlines of Wanfu Daily.
Inside the carriage, wailing and screaming rang out one after another:
"This is impossible! All my property is gone."
"Did they die together? Didn't they say that the Lord of the Star of Misfortune had a powerful supporter, so he deliberately provoked Shang Huang before entering the Weird Territory?"
"This is Wanfu City! The word 'Tianjiao' can be quite cheap sometimes."
"I don't believe it. Wait for a reversal."
"How can it be false if it's already been published in Wanfu Daily?"
"Those missionaries of the Tiangong Sect are indeed very stubborn, but they have been deceived and fooled more than once or twice... In the issue a few days ago, one of their editors named [Dan Chenzi] was bewitched by the Saint of the Lust Sect and published welfare photos for her to be seen by all the practitioners in the city, allowing him to successfully cultivate a powerful magical power."
"Yes, there was another issue. The printing plant of Wanfu Daily was invaded and contaminated by an elder of the Hanged King Cult. He mixed the normal content with suicide memes, causing thousands of practitioners in the city to commit suicide collectively."
"Don't argue. Holy Nest will verify it. Shang Yang is their treasure. If they both perish together, they can't do anything. But if the Lord of Misfortune really kills Shang Yang and hides away, Holy Nest will definitely take action. Maybe they have already started now."
"Holy Nest is already extremely powerful. It might even alarm the Ancient One. It is said that in the eyes of this evil god, there are no secrets in this world, only mysteries that have not yet been revealed... As long as He wants, He can know everything."
This last sentence comes from a worker who has obviously embarked on the path of spiritual practice.
Some insight indeed.
Li Yu mingled in the crowd, applying the sealing corpse oil as required, while waiting for something.
Deep down, I was indeed a little nervous.
The Book of the Red Dust and the doll's skin were both very mysterious, which amazed Li Yu.
But [Holy Nest] is also an evil organization with a terrifying background. What if?
"If we are unlucky enough to be caught!"
"I immediately used my authority to escape into those mysterious areas..."
It was almost at the moment when Li Yu made up his mind.
There were no signs or warnings.
A bigger commotion than he had expected occurred.
A scarlet "radiation storm" visible to the naked eye started from the southern area of Wanfu City and covered the entire Wanfu City in the blink of an eye. It spread to the ancient god camp in a few breaths and continued to surge into the three forbidden areas.
In the storm, ghostly figures flickered and surged, like hounds, quickly sniffing the area.
The number was so huge that the coal shovelers were given one in the carriage, but they didn't find anything and left.
While Li Yu was still confused, Zuo Cikui's explanation came to his mind:
"These are the [Psychic Ghosts] created by Holy Nest using the most cruel means. They have insight at the soul level. If you kill Shang Yang yourself, your soul will be contaminated by Shang Yang's resentment factor, and you will be captured by them."
"Of course, you are wearing a puppet skin, so you are exempt."
