Very quickly, the taxi began to move quickly.
Like a phantom, it blended into the thin fog and sped forward.
In the void behind the taxi, a few cold figures gradually appeared.
"He saw us?" The leader frowned and asked.
"Impossible." A Sublimator carrying a huge backpack said, "Our invisibility device is a Dark Gold item. Within the range of the Happy Heart Frame, it is impossible for anyone to discover us … … Maybe it is just his intuition."
"Are you sure it is him?"
"It is definitely him!"
A venomous female voice replied, "I will definitely remember that face … … I already know his name and appearance. As long as he is in Yamatai, he will not be able to escape my detection range."
In the team, someone hesitated, "Didn't you see the performance last night? That guy is more difficult to deal with than we expected. "
"Is it just that you underestimated him?"
The female voice sneered, "That guy has at least four border relics and a Dark Gold item. Now, he even has a Paradise Army Contract … … If he is not difficult to deal with, how can a solo Sublimator be so strong?"
The leader was silent for a moment before saying, "Miss Lin, we accepted your family's employment not to avenge you, but to help you get a ranking in the competition.
If you insist on doing this, I am afraid … … "
"You can keep all the items that you have obtained." The woman surnamed Lin looked at him indifferently, "I don't want any of them. Moreover, I can give you one more Spirit Coffin blueprint."
"… …"
The leader hesitated. Even if the Dark Gold items under the Heart's Delight Framework could not be brought out, the Border Relics and the Army Contract obtained here were the real deal.
For border organizations like them, this was an irresistible temptation.
Moreover, every piece of equipment on Huai Shi was a treasure … …
After a long silence, the leader looked at his subordinates and exchanged glances before finally reaching a consensus.
"Deal … …"
.
.
As the taxi drove quietly, Yuan Zhao was lying in the back seat, fast asleep, but Huai Shi kept feeling uneasy.
His premonition of death kept reminding him that danger was slowly approaching, but he still couldn't figure out where this danger was coming from. He could only raise his vigilance and secretly take precautions.
In the silence, only strands of source substance constantly circulated between Huai Shi and Niebelungen, causing the tiny darkness in the ring to constantly change, and countless internal complicated structures were constantly replaced.
When Huai Shi immersed his mind into it, he could only feel countless hubs that were as large as mountains colliding with each other, rising and falling amidst the rumbling, changing forms.
In the end, as the Mountain Ghost's Origin Substance poured into the darkness, a familiar aura began to emerge from within.
It looks like … a Yin spirit?
His eyes widened in disbelief. It was indeed a ghost. Even though it was still in its embryonic form, the familiar aura had not changed at all.
What the hell?
He frowned and thought for a long time, but he didn't come up with anything. He could only ask in the Book of Destiny, "Hello? Are you there? "
No one responded.
"Not here?" Huai Shi frowned, rolled down the window, and took out the key ring that Crow had given him from his pocket. "Then I'll throw this key ring away."
"Wait!"
A voice quickly came online. "Little brother, don't be anxious. It's a token of appreciation from others. How can you throw it away just like that?"
"Token of appreciation?"
Huai Shi sneered and shook the key ring hard. He could hear the sound of water inside. This thing was an ink bottle!
Thinking about how Crow's current body was a blob of ink, how could Huai Shi not know where she was?
She had probably been spying on him since the start of the competition.
"I won't ask you why you sneaked in here. What exactly is this ring?"
"It's an army contract. Don't you know?"
"…" Huai Shi was speechless.
Did I call you out just for you to say this?
"Well, I forgot that you're a 24K newbie in this field. Let me think about how to explain this common knowledge to you."
Crow coughed a few times, and a Crow holding a pointer and wearing a doctor's hat jumped out of the page. She pretended to ponder for a moment, then said:
"You know that whether it's the development of Hell or the development of the borders, a lot of manpower is needed, right?
A solo ascendant will never be able to do anything. Moreover, without the help of an organization and a huge amount of resources, not to mention Tier 5, even breaking through from Tier 3 to Tier 4 is as difficult as going to heaven. "
Fine …
Huai Shi rolled his eyes.
This woman was starting to keep him in suspense again.
Even so, he still nodded. He just wanted to know what she wanted to say.
"But here's the problem. The maintenance of the Realm, the management of the borders, and the development of Hell. Every place is a bottomless pit, but is there so much manpower in the world?"
Crow waved his hand, and a number appeared on the page: "Including the Realm, the borders, and the various Hells, all the people who have ascended their souls add up to no more than 7 million people. No, 7 million people is already a lot. In fact, it's hard to say if there are even 7 million people."
7 million.
It sounded like a lot, but in fact … in the huge Realm, the countless borders, and the Hell that was so vast that the bottom couldn't be seen, it was just a drop in the bucket.
If all of them were put together, it wouldn't even reach the permanent population of Jinling!
Huai Shi also knew how difficult it was to ascend.
Even someone like him, who had half a foot in the door, was stuck for seven or eight years, let alone those who couldn't even find the door.
"Now, other than the Silver Sea controlled by the Astronomy Society, only the Spirit Coffin in the world can allow people to ascend 100%."
Crow said, "But whether it's the quota for the Astronomy Society or the Spirit Coffin, it's far more troublesome and difficult than self-ascension."
There were more than 200 quotas for ascension every year. There were too many wolves and too little meat. The Spirit Coffin could only be used once. Between ascending a rookie and reviving the soul of a master, which one would you choose?
For ordinary people, ascension was a miracle. It was an adventure that couldn't be replicated and pondered. Countless people yearned for such an opportunity but couldn't. Until now, even if there were some experiments and plans that couldn't be said in private, ascension was still uncontrollable.
Just look at the Spring of Life project that the Red Gloves had experienced.
Even if the chances of ascension were ten times higher than in the Realm, it was still a precious opportunity that could only be found by chance.
With such a shortage of manpower, it could be said that if one succeeded in ascension, they could find a job and live a carefree life. But there was still a large shortage of manpower …
For the time being, the border could still allow ordinary people to carry out their daily activities. But for the development of Hell, forget about it. Without a soul to maintain consciousness, as long as one was exposed for an hour, they would definitely be mutated into something erosive in the Abyss.
After confirming that Huai Shi fully understood this premise, Crow nodded and continued, "Therefore, after the Astronomy Society was established, the first generation of ascenders and the creators of the world united together. Since the discovery of the existence of the Sacred Mark, what followed was the formation of the 'legion.'
And the principle and the prototype reference … you've seen it these days, haven't you? "
With that said, Crow looked meaningfully at the kitten paradise that was gradually disappearing between the high-rise buildings. Huai Shi frowned, "You mean … the Abyss Legion?"
"Yes, that's right." Crow waved his hand on the page with a look of gratification. "After so many days, you have some understanding of the powerful existences in Hell, right?
Do you feel that they … are particularly similar to something? "
"…"
After a long silence, Huai Shi replied in disbelief,
"Sacred … Mark?"
Crow laughed. "You don't think that the Sacred Mark is a patent of the ascenders, do you? Don't forget the existence of the Sacred Mark relics, Huai Shi … and don't forget where the Sacred Mark came from in the first place! “
This power that was crowned with the name of the Sacred Mark came from the miracle incarnation of the Abyss in the earliest days!
"Let's not talk about the relationship between the source books of the major lineages and the Abyss, and the bullshit that the gods once studied."
Crow said calmly, "Aren't the archaeological teams of the various lineages constantly exploring deeper into Hell in order to fill the gaps in their lineages and unearth new paths of sublimation?
The so-called power is to be sought in such taboos! “
"In some large Hell, even a large group of Abyss Legions is a complete path of sublimation …"
Crow happily threw out the settings and squinted at Huai Shi. "With them as a reference, it shouldn't be difficult for you to understand the essence of the Legion Contract, right?"
"The so-called Legion is the transformation of a large group, your subordinates, your vassals, your brothers, the extension of the miracle, the race that holds the Sacred Mark …"
Looking at Huai Shi's incredulous expression, Crow whistled and threw out another bomb.
"If you still can't imagine it, you just need to replace the name 'lineage' with 'Legion', and you will know what the so-called Legion looks like!"
Huai Shi's mind was already empty.
It was only now that he realized … that every complete path of sublimation hid something other than advancement — every path was a complete Legion.
From bottom to top.
From the bottom to the top.
Countless ascenders gathered together through the path of sublimation, forming a perfect large group of Abyss Legions!
"This is the foundation of the seven major lineages, Huai Shi."
Crow said faintly, "The reason why there are only seven of the seven major lineages in the world today is because only these seven lineages have the technology and ability to create legions of their own lineages.
Ascendants were not the only ones among them. In the seven major lineages, behind every complete path of sublimation, there are at least three large groups of Abyss Legions!
This is the unique foundation of the major lineages. "
