Far North, Lancelot's Manor.
The holders of the Major Arcana Tarot cards had left one after another. After Demon City and Dragon City had been conquered, and the Evil Leader's remains had been scattered across the seven continents, the issue of the Evil Leader's resurrection had finally been brought to the table, affecting the hearts of countless organizations and important figures.
As time passed, only those people from back then knew what kind of role they had played in that night rain more than ten years ago, but no matter what, most people definitely did not want to see the Evil Leader resurrected.
The seven continents held various large-scale war conferences, and those who did not know would think that the Disasters were invading. Naturally, important figures like Wei Zhong and Qin Youheng could not disappear from the public eye for too long.
On the other hand, Li Xiang, who had been staying in the manor all this time, had a rare moment of peace and quiet.
Venus and Ayres would not take the initiative to bother him, and no one in the manor dared to take the initiative to look for the Young Master. He continued to disassemble the machinery in the mechanical room left behind by his father. After obtaining the origin substance extraction technique, the mechanical wheel's analysis of the Primordial Array was completely completed.
Just as Bai Lili had said, as long as he continued to disassemble the machinery, he would gradually be able to understand the true function of the mechanical wheel.
During this month of exploration, Li Xiang finally completely grasped the talent his parents had left him. He also completely understood why Lancelot and Bai Lili had been able to stand at the peak.
His mother, the Evil Leader Bai Lili, had devoted herself to researching the Disasters. With her extraordinary cultivation talent, she had become an existence above Level-9 at a young age. Lancelot, who was also astonishingly talented, had also reached this peak.
They could vaguely sense that this might be the limit of human cultivation. After reaching that level, perhaps there would still be a difference in combat strength, but it would definitely not be large. It would not be like when players were still alive, where the difference of one level was like heaven and earth.
In fact, it was the same reason that those above Level-9 were not called Level-10.
The Five Kings were all players at the peak of Level-9. They were only half a step away from reaching Level-9, but there was not a huge gap in strength between them and Bai Lili.
At least at that time, the Five Kings were enough to deal with Bai Lili, forcing her to flee everywhere.
Because of this, Bai Lili had continuously searched for a way to reach Level-10. When she came to the Eternal River and saw that door, she knew that the answer had to be on the other side of the Eternal River.
She set her sights on the Disasters, researched Disasterization and Xenogenesis, and became the only human who could talk to the Disasters and even control them.
It was said that she had also fused the power of [Calamity] into her body, just like how she was currently sharing a portion of her power with her believers, a portion of the power of [Calamity] had taken over their bodies. High-level [Calamity] conversion was done on the basis of equal status, unlike the one-sided unequal contract that Gui Wuqi and the others had.
Lancelot had taken a different path. He had combined cultivation with machinery and developed a technique for extracting Origin Substances. He had also used Bai Lili's analysis of Disaster to decipher how to break down and create Disaster Weapons. However, this technique was far too shocking, and he needed to simultaneously walk down the path of cultivation and machinery.
After Lancelot's death, his son Li Xiang was the only one who could inherit his legacy.
Li Xiang possessed the talent of the Wessex family, Gear Eye. At the same time, he had inherited Lancelot's core mechanical roulette.
Hidden inside were two of his proudest skills: Origin Substance extraction and Disaster Weapon creation.
The key to opening the mechanical roulette was the Primordial Array that Bai Lili had left behind.
It was the first Disaster Weapon that the two of them had created together, and it was also the last one. It was also the only artificially created Disaster Weapon in history.
[Black Sovereign King]!
Using the mechanical roulette to decipher the core of the Primordial Array was the process of creating Disaster Weapons. Unfortunately, the massive amount of information and technical barriers prevented Li Xiang from using it for the time being.
After obtaining these two skills, Li Xiang's suspicions deepened. Bai Lili, who could see through the past and future, obviously knew that he had no interest in her resurrection. She had even objected to the fact that she had turned Ming Xu and the others into resurrection vessels.
However, she had still left the Primordial Array to him and even told him how to unlock it. What was she planning?
This woman's way of thinking was too strange, and he could not understand it. Li Xiang could only give up on guessing Bai Lili's thoughts and use the last of his time to focus on creating a self-created gun from the ancient book that Old Ghost had left behind.
This ancient book was the culmination of Old Ghost's many years of hard work. For more than a year, he had been reading it while learning it. With the help of Dean Lei Lin in school, it was not easy for him to slowly familiarize himself with it.
Old Ghost was a rare Master Gun Mechanic. His strength lay in the creation of guns and bullets, but he was not very creative in creating guns.
At the back of the ancient book were many of the guns that he had created in his early years. If one could create one of them, they would be considered as having completed their apprenticeship.
These were Old Ghost's original words.
During the Death Omen Star Curtain, Li Xiang had destroyed Black Snake X and White Snake X, and had also promised Ming Xu to help her make a new gun. Considering that this might be the last gun he would make as a Magician, he had carefully selected it.
Ming Xu's side was very easy. She was a sniper genius, and there was a special sniper rifle in the long zither case on her back. Li Xiang decided to tailor a different sniper rifle for her.
[Nirvana Heavy Sniper].
This was the only heavy sniper rifle in Old Ghost's ancient book that he had designed.
Among gun users, sniper rifles were the least used. After all, sniping techniques were the hardest to learn, and among sniper rifle users, heavy sniper rifles were the least used.
Compared to heavy snipers, light snipers, and other sniper rifles, it was much more flexible and maneuverable. On the other hand, heavy sniper rifles sacrificed everything in pursuit of extreme attack power. It was the most aggressive type of gun, but it was also the most difficult to control.
Ming Xu's body contained the Organs of Disaster, so her body was much stronger than the average person's. Even though she was small and skinny, she was a girl with monstrous strength.
As such, Li Xiang decided to use the heavy sniper rifle, Nirvana, as a model to create an even more powerful heavy sniper rifle.
As for himself, he had previously used an Origin Submachine Gun and a shotgun. Now, he was using a special Origin Substance gun that could fire multiple times.
However, Li Xiang's favorite weapon was still the small handgun.
It was flexible, convenient, powerful, and easy to hide.
The King of Ten Thousand Guns.
The first gun he had designed was a handgun. Black Snake X and White Snake X's original idea was to create a pair of guns that could work together. Unfortunately, Li Xiang didn't have such high mechanical skills at that time, so he only had a rough idea.
However, it was different now.
With the Primordial Array and the Mechanical Roulette, in addition to his own outstanding mechanical talent, his creative ability had reached a peak. He could even use the Primordial Array and the Mechanical Roulette to inscribe a new Primordial Array and embed it inside the gun, turning it into an Enchanted Origin Substance weapon.
This was originally something that only player-level gunmasters could do.
Enchanted weapons and equipment were essential for high-level magicians and normal players. After all, legendary Disaster Weapons were hard to come by.
Old Ghost's ancient book also had a concept for a pair of guns, but it was only a rough sketch and manufacturing technique. He wanted to use several top-notch forbidden techniques to create a pair of guns that were connected and coordinated with each other. The reason he gave up in the end was that they had to be enchanted.
However, he wasn't a player.
In his idea, this pair of guns used the best forbidden techniques he had learned. At the same time, they were enchanted bullet guns that could only use special bullets to attack, and their power was terrifying.
Even if they were separated, each of them was a super enchanted Origin Substance gun, and when combined together, they had an even more terrifying combination skill.
All of these coincided with Li Xiang's idea. He had a clearer idea and blueprint, and what he lacked was the technical skills, which Old Ghost happened to fill in.
After a few days of preparation, the blueprints for a new pair of guns were finally out.
"Twin Flowers. Separate and kill alone. Combine and create twins." Li Xiang named this pair of guns Twin Flowers. The left gun was called [Datura Flower], which was a legendary white flower that bloomed in heaven, heralding new life through death. The right gun was called [Red Spider Lily], which was a legendary red flower that bloomed in hell, heralding the end through death.
He focused on making blueprints. There were thousands of basic blueprints for each gun, and with the Primordial Array design, the amount of work was shocking.
If not for the [Gear Eye] enhancing his Machinery Mastery, such a huge process would have driven a Gunmaster crazy.
Venus came to see him a few times along the way and was also frightened by the densely packed drawings. She had seen how Lancelot looked when he was immersed in machinery. At this moment, Li Xiang was very similar to him, and she could not help but be absent-minded. She often stayed by his side, watching Li Xiang draw from morning to night, thinking.
In the last week of summer vacation, Li Xiang finally finished all the blueprints and began to make special bullets.
The special bullet used by the Datura Flower was called [Dazzling], which was the highest-level special bullet. Its special ability was [Parasitic Spread]. Just like the new life that the Datura Flower heralded, once the bullet hit the body, it would immediately dissolve and parasitize the enemy's body, spreading and growing continuously, giving the enemy a 'new life'.
The special bullet used by the Datura Flower was called [Withering], which was also the highest-level special bullet. Its special ability was [Withering]. Just like its flower language, it would instantly corrode the enemy it hit, destroying all signs of life. It was even more powerful than the original Magic Bullet.
The creation of special bullets required the most advanced technology. A high-quality special bullet was even more expensive than many famous spirit guns. Unfortunately, there were too few people who used spirit guns, so this technology had no successor.
Moreover, the creation of special bullets required a shocking amount of spirit source resources. With such a huge amount of resources, most people would rather choose to use it for their own cultivation. Why would they ask a Gunmaster to create special bullets for them?
Li Xiang happened to meet all the requirements. Most importantly, from now on, as long as he could decompose machinery, he would have an endless supply of spirit source resources. The biggest hurdle for others would be the easiest for him.
Therefore, he resolutely chose the highest-level special bullet.
The blueprints for the Twin Flowers filled the workshop like a small mountain. Li Xiang stayed in the workshop all day, refining the two special bullets.
Even with Old Ghost's skills, it was still very difficult to create them. Every failure was a waste of spirit source resources.
If it weren't for the fact that he could extract spirit source, he wouldn't have dared to create special bullets on his own without any proficiency.
Creating a single Radiant Bullet or Withering Bullet required one standard volume of spirit source, which was equivalent to ten million Blue Astral Coins. A full magazine of ten bullets would be a hundred million.
With Li Xiang's decomposition speed, it would take an hour to produce one standard volume of spirit source. It wasn't as fast as he had imagined.
He had originally thought that he would become a human-shaped money printing machine, but now he finally understood why Duke Siluo had used the magic array to create it. Ten million per hour, two hundred million per day at most, and six billion per month.
Of course, producing an upper-class family in a month was indeed terrifying, but this kind of money-making speed still couldn't satisfy Wessex's appetite.
Moreover, only Li Xiang could produce them in human form.
After spending a week making the bullets, Li Xiang had no choice but to leave Lancelot Manor regretfully.
Summer break was over, and he had to return to school to continue his studies. At the same time, he had to prepare for the School Championship Competition in October. There were also many problems left behind by the Death Omen Star Screen that needed to be dealt with. The most important thing was that he had to return as soon as possible.
Even if the Yao Family wouldn't betray him, there would always be people who would suspect him. He had to completely break off his relationship with the tarot cards on the surface.
After making this request, Venus readily agreed to his request and arranged for an airship to return to the Dead Sea.
Before leaving, Venus looked at him with a faint smile and suddenly said, "I'm afraid that the Dead Sea will become more and more chaotic. You have to be prepared to leave school at any time."
"What's wrong?" Li Xiang sat in the cabin of the airship and looked at Venus outside the window. He felt a little uneasy. She wouldn't make empty promises.
"There's some news, and it's not good news. The source is our great magician card. He asked me to inform you. "Venus didn't say it out loud. After all, she had only received a few vague sentences.
Li Xiang nodded, indicating that he understood.
On the other side of the cabin, Mu, who was greedily drinking fresh blood, and Nathro, who had a calm expression, were both excited and nervous.
The master who had signed a soul contract with them didn't give up on them. Furthermore, he had immense power beyond their imagination.
The tarot cards' notoriety had spread across the seven continents. At the same time, it had also spread to other worlds. They had plundered all kinds of treasures, so naturally, they wouldn't let go of treasures from other worlds.
As for the true use of the treasures, only Li Xiang knew. To Mu and Nathro, it was just a hobby of the Lord Fool.
However, he could easily destroy a small world for his own selfish desires.
If the Werewolf and Blood Breed worlds weren't taken over by Wessex, they would have been plundered clean by the tarot cards. They had been here before.
However, Mu and Nathro didn't hate them. They worshipped the strong, worshipped strength, and believed in the law of wolves.
After leaving the Death Omen Star, Li Xiang didn't take the initiative to contact them. This was also a test for them.
He was the master, but he was also the enemy.
However, the two of them didn't disappoint him. Therefore, he decided to give them some benefits.
"Mu, Nathro, I will give you the secret codex directly. However, you have to help me do some things." Li Xiang took out a copy of the secret codex that he had prepared long ago. The two girls' eyes were shining as they waited for his instructions.
Li Xiang didn't say anything. He only looked out of the window quietly. City 0127 flashed past his eyes. He sighed softly as his thoughts drifted.
