Mini World Game Console-Chapter 718 - 719: The First Battle of Fourth-Stage Cultivator Ren Suo
In the year that Ren Suo acquired the Mini-World Game Console, sometimes he played until he was exhausted but would eventually feel the sweet after the bitter, while at other times the game console played him, leaving him bitter then utterly drained…
However, no matter what, the rewards he received from the game console were quite substantial, fully reflecting capitalism's alienation of human labor, to the point that Ren Suo developed thoughts along the lines of, Since I'm already here.
Moreover, Ren Suo, using his superb wisdom, unique perspective, and crafty methods, also managed to fleece some benefits from the feedback the games gave to reality, such as writing papers about the family affairs of the Eastern Han Ren Family, or deliberately joining the Midnight Walker Stall to freeload a royal feast from the Food Goddess.
But apart from these, the most practical and useful rewards the Mini-World Game Console gave Ren Suo were Abilities and props.
Among these Abilities and props, there were some that stood out. The more Ren Suo used them, the more he discovered their profound mysteries and versatility. These items were so engaging, they would suddenly inspire a stroke of genius—Ah? Why not try this!
For example, Ren Suo expended great effort to upgrade from the "Struggle Warrior (Damaged)" to the "Night Moon Warrior" Cloning Skill.
This Skill, whether for household, business, or Qingming use, proved incredibly effective in all scenarios, so much that Ren Suo regretted not discovering it sooner. Much like air conditioning, it doubled his happiness index and was hailed by everyone as a miraculous technique!
For example, Ren Suo's reward from the six-star game "Light and Dark Traitor," "A Different Life."
Initially, Ren Suo thought this Ability was just a toy, like changing a face to experience the happiness of a handsome man's life.
Later, Ren Suo realized this Ability could be used for Infiltration. He consumed Sony, and with Sony's identity, wreaked havoc without any inhibition in Didra.
And just now, Ren Suo suddenly realized this Ability had other new applications!
For instance, a clone could use this Ability to change into someone else!
Theoretically, if Ren Suo recorded Dong Chengling's Status at age 23, then every day he would essentially have a Dong Chengling that could last for up to four hours!
Well, theoretically.
Ren Suo quickly dismissed this approach, as using his male body was more practical for housework after all.
Also, there was a significant issue with this application: under the Night Moon condition, a thinking clone would believe itself to be real and also be aware it was a clone, just as Sony did earlier.
But Sony had long been dead, so as Sony's clone, he could calmly face everything and follow Ren Suo's commands, playing out this deadly drama.
But what about others?
If Ren Suo recorded Qiao Muyi's life and let the clone become Qiao Muyi at night, Ren Suo felt that night might turn into a dark and windy night of murder. It was not entirely impossible for the Qiao Muyi clone to run out while Ren Suo wasn't paying attention, trying to kill the True Form…
Ren Suo could even guess the thoughts of Qiao Muyi's clone: That's right, I can only exist for four hours, but if the True Form is gone, then you'd only have me to summon if you wanted to see me, right? In that case, we'd have endless four-hour periods.
Of course, Qiao Muyi was an extreme example.
What if it were Dong Chengling?
Dong Chengling's clone wouldn't climb the stairs to next door to execute the True Form, but based on Ren Suo's understanding of her, without orders, she would likely sit quietly by Ren Suo's side, calmly awaiting the end of the four hours, and leave without causing trouble to anyone.
The thought alone was distressing.
To avoid such scenarios, Ren Suo quickly quashed these slightly sinister thoughts.
Unless absolutely necessary, he would not let a clone become someone else.
Of course, a thought also crossed Ren Suo's mind: since clones would do this, then didn't his own clone harbor thoughts of assassinating him or replacing him?
Definitely not! That's Ren Suo's own clone! He was a good person, and his clone would definitely also be a good clone!
He was so good to his clone, providing all the Strengthening props for the Cloning Skill!
Moreover, Ren Suo hadn't tasked his clone with doing anything serious, just commonplace Daily chores, and the occasional unfortunate sacrifice demanded by the storyline.
It was only because "A Different Life" and "Night Moon Warrior" influenced each other that the clone had developed a special self-will, as if it had been poisoned.
Just stick to the original "Night Moon Warrior," and there definitely wouldn't be any clone rebelling against its owner. Ren Suo was not worried in the slightest.
Besides this aborted 'clone transformation plan,' Ren Suo found another use for "A Different Life."
Previously, when Ren Suo was disguising himself as Sony, he often accessed Sony's memories while in his True Form. He thought that was quite normal, but just now, when he disguised himself as Ren Xingmei and used "Saving Lives and Healing the Injured" for Healing, he found it awkward to move.
Besides struggling to get used to his sister's body, the more significant reason was that "Saving Lives and Healing the Injured" was not a Player Skill, but rather a Skill fully inscribed into Ren Suo's body, a proprietary Skill in Ren Suo's consciousness!
So Ren Suo quickly switched back to his own consciousness, and only then managed to heal himself by a narrow margin; otherwise, he would have been so weakened by blood loss that his legs would turn to jelly.
So if running someone else's consciousness program weakens one's own Casting Spells Ability, then conversely, might there be someone's consciousness that could significantly enhance his own Casting Spells capability?
Ren Han wouldn't do. Ren Han was actually a second-generation rich because of his bloodline. Not only him, but the entire Ren Family didn't understand how to utilize Spiritual Energy; it was the Spiritual Energy that conformed to them.
You see, although each generation's Family Head of the Ren Family would update their Inherited Spells, this "update" wasn't, Ah, I've got some insights after fighting for several years so let me improve it a bit, but when they learned the Inherited Spell, it changed and became the most suitable form for them. So the real situation was, Ah, this Spell isn't quite suited for me, Mister Spell, please adjust yourself.
Similarly, the Handsome Monkey King wouldn't do. The Handsome Monkey King's Abilities come from Evolution Cards and Heritage Ace Cards, and its combat level could not be said to be low, but Ren Suo can neither Super-Evolve nor has the ace abilities, totally incompatible.
The Moon Chanter's Ability was a Miracle. By applying her thinking, how could he obtain a Secret Tome that increased the draw rate of "Miracle Full Moon"?
And not to mention the adventurer; Ren Suo didn't have his ability to turn decayed wood into wonders with the "High-Energy Alchemy Hand."
Reviewing the game characters Ren Suo can currently summon, only the consciousness of the Truth Seeker meets Ren Suo's needs.
First, their relationship was not bad.
Second, the Truth Seeker's combat power came entirely from the Spells and props Ren Suo gave her, and her consciousness possessed corresponding combat qualities.
Third, the consciousness of the Truth Seeker had infinite Potential!
If not for the fact that Ren Suo didn't have the Fourth-Tier "Mysterious Sovereign's Secret Records" to equip the Truth Seeker with, she would have already charged into the battlefield and wreaked havoc.
But now it wasn't too late.
The showing off the Truth Seeker couldn't do, the people she couldn't kill—I'll do it for her!
He had just updated the information for the Record Body; now, Ren Xingmei's records were overwritten by the Truth Seeker's, allowing him direct access to the Truth Seeker's Thought Program!
By the way, when Ren Suo had obtained the Truth Seeker's records just now, he also browsed through the Truth Seeker's entire life.
However, the memories he could see were all the game records and appearance records he had already seen, without any additional content, not even the memories of the Truth Seeker chatting in the Mystic Tavern.
Ren Suo had originally wanted to use "A Different Life" to explore the private lives of game characters, but now it seemed impossible.
"Phew..." Ren Suo gently exhaled.
A sense of turbidity, density, and turbulence washed over him.
Though nothing seemed to have changed, and Ren Suo's Qi Cyclone hadn't strengthened in the slightest, he now perceived more patterns in the airflow, heard more echoes, and smelled more scents through the Sensation of Spiritual Energy.
Fourth-Stage Cultivator, Ren Suo.
Full firepower!
Ren Suo's eyes sparkled with radiance as he stared intently at the distant Twin Stars Great Magistrate!
In that moment, Ren Suo's Four Levels Pressure converged to a point, remotely piercing through the mental Defense Barrier of the Twin Stars Great Magistrate like a storm of rain pear needles!
The briefly distracted Twin Stars Great Magistrate, caught off guard for a full 0.8 seconds, quickly fought off the mental Pressure and clasped hands tightly, launching an all-out Attack!
The Twin Stars Great Magistrate had long known that these people might possess peculiar mental Attack methods, so he wasn't afraid. However, he didn't expect that despite having set up his mental Defense Barrier, he would still be Intimidated by this man!
"We are the stars, we are the moon, we are the only myth."
The palms-clasped Twin Stars Great Magistrate quietly transformed into two silhouettes stacked upon each other.
On the left, a blue-haired girl in Gothic battle clothing, holding a Magic Wand, with a crescent moon emerging on her forehead;
On the right, a fully-Armed red-haired youth holding a Sword Chain, with two red stars floating on his cheeks.
The Twin Stars Great Magistrate's Blood Offspring Ability—"Soul-Splitting Halo"!
To divide the soul into complete parts, turning into two different-looking, different-thinking, deck-possessing Divine Descendant powerhouses!
The number of soul divisions vary among generations of the Azura Bloodline Great Magistrate; the previous generation's Bloodline Great Magistrate chose to divide into three parts, known as the Triple Star Great Magistrate, while he chose to split into two. The number of divisions doesn't greatly impact combat power; what matters is how the Twin Stars Great Magistrate arrange their card decks!
AHA! The Red Star Warrior transformed into a rainbow shadow and charged. His Sword Chain shot out, instantly becoming ninety-nine Flashing Sword Tips that tore through the air with a roar!
The Blue Moon Mage, seated high above, conjured hundreds of jet-black gigantic hands with her gem-studded Magic Wand, which descended with overwhelming Force!
"Dark Moon Annihilation," "Stars Shine Brightly"!
However, the Twin Stars Great Magistrate discovered that the man, faced with such an offensive, didn't Dodge or even move, calmly watching everything unfold as if enjoying their performance!
As the survivors of the recent great battle—or rather, one-sided slaughter—the Twin Stars Great Magistrate were now like birds startled by the twang of a bowstring. Witnessing this scene, both individuals simultaneously had a multitude of thoughts:
Why doesn't he counter-attack or Dodge? Does he want to be hit by us? Does he possess the Ability to Perfect Block and even Perfect Shooting Damage? Or could it be the Skill of Tenfold Damage Return!?
Without the need to communicate, both Soul-Splitting bodies adjusted the direction of "Dark Moon Hand" and "Glittering Sword Strike" at the same time, aiming to Attack the open spaces around that man!
Meanwhile, what was Ren Suo doing?
He was improving his operating environment.
He had just realized that after invoking the "Truth Seeker's Thought Program," he... crashed.
Yes, crashed.
The Truth Seeker's Thought Program brought Ren Suo's analysis of the entire world and the entire Dimension's Spiritual Energy to a peak. However, to support such thinking Ability, Ren Suo's Energy had dissipated completely.
Ren Suo's estimate was basically correct; the Truth Seeker's Thought Program was indeed potent enough to enhance his strength to an unprecedented level.
But alas... Ren Suo's own setup was insufficient!
While the True Form of the Truth Seeker had nothing special about it, Ren Suo had long forgotten an Attribute: Unlimited Energy!
The Truth Seeker didn't need to eat or drink; it could just subsist on the northwest wind and capture Unlimited Energy like an eco-friendly worker!
Therefore, even Ren Suo underestimated the Energy consumption of the Truth Seeker, mistakenly believing it would be similar to a normal person. In reality, the heat Energy the Truth Seeker consumed every second was almost equivalent to what Ren Suo would use up in half a day.
Ren Suo had just stood still for a few seconds, feeling the boisterous cool breeze above the Heavenly Gate, but his condition was now akin to having played games all night for several days without eating or drinking.
Although he could continue on, he was so enervated that, let alone fight, he could barely move!
Initially, Ren Suo had planned to switch back to his own Thought Program and flee, but when he noticed that all Attacks seemed to miss him, he clenched his teeth and boldly activated the "Truth Seeker's Body Program"!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM—
Amid the rumbling of explosions and collapses, a golden flash suddenly burst forth.
Before the Twin Stars Great Magistrate could react, a golden-haired woman had already closed in on the Red Star Warrior.
The Red Star Warrior reacted extremely quickly. The Sword Chain whipped out a blinding flash as his body rapidly retreated, maintaining a safe distance—
But the chain that could cut through all things and melt steel was grasped by someone's hand, and the chain linking blade and hilt was completely frozen. Endless ice flowers blossomed in mid-air, and suddenly, a realm of ice appeared between heaven and earth.
The combo Spell of "The Demon King Returns," "Gauze Clothing," and "Ice Age"—"Ice Encroaches Upon the Gods"!
"How fanciful." The golden-haired woman smiled faintly. Ice flowers spread along the chain towards the Red Star Warrior, encasing him in an Ice Tomb within moments!
Suddenly, fiery meteor showers rained from the sky, and the golden-haired woman, with a slight raise of her eyebrows, struck out with her hands nine consecutive times into thin air, generating nine gusts of windstorm that redirected all the fiery meteors targeting her and Dong Chengling's group of three. The fires even merged into a colossal Flame Storm that illuminated the entire Luoyin City!
The combo Spell of "The Demon King Returns," "Storm Restraint," and "Flame Overlord"—"Wind and Fire Nine Provinces"!
The Blue Moon Mage pointed with her staff, and from its tip, a murky "Dark Moon Hand" that swallowed all flames suddenly enlarged to a giant hand obscuring the sky, relentlessly crashing down upon the earth!
At this moment, a flash erupted from within the Ice Tomb where the Red Star Warrior was confined, shattering the tomb, followed by nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine strikes of "Glittering Sword Strike"!
The sky darkened while stars shone brightly below!
This was the true combat power of the Bloodline Great Magistrate!
It could easily destroy cities, suppress the land, and lead countless Living Beings to calamity—the highest level of combat power of humans!
However, at that moment, the golden-haired woman cracked a slight smile; a faint hint of sweet fragrance from the Spiritual Energy let her scent the flavor of Destiny.
"Above is Dark Moon, below is Moonlight."
"At this moment, I am in the Moonlight."
A vision of a slot machine appeared before the golden-haired woman's eyes, which immediately spun the reels, and in an instant, all three symbols were locked in.
The first symbol: Dong Chengling.
The second symbol: Dong Chengling.
The third symbol: Dong Chengling.
"Your Miracle is that all of your Spell Attacks will possess spatial authority, allowing you to Attack everything that exists in space."
"But your cost is that you can only ever like one person."
The blonde woman's nose twitched slightly. "Hmm, there's a hint of Destiny in that."
The slot machine spun once more.
The first symbol: Ren Xingmei.
The second symbol: Ren Xingmei.
The third symbol: Ren Xingmei.
"Your Miracle is that all of your Spell Attacks will possess temporal authority, with all Spells being cast at the utmost speed."
"But your cost is that you can never go against a promise."
Then, the blonde woman pointed one hand to the sky and the other to the ground, whispering:
"Above and below the heavens, I shall traverse far and wide in search."
The next second, the darkness in the sky was torn apart, and the ground's starlight was completely extinguished!
The hand that could cover the sky was dispersed by a giant paw transformed by Cold Flame!
The thousand swords flashing with starlight were shattered by the even more glittering Moonlight!
"Demon King's Descent" + "Flame Overlord" + "Ice Age" = "Flame and Ice Combined"!
"Demon King's Descent" + "Wax and Wane" + "Insight into the Mortal World" = "Moonlight Illumination"!
With the amazing talent of the Truth Seeker, relying solely on the newly obtained Miracles, Ren Suo immediately adapted to the circumstances to create two suitable Spells, perfectly defeating the combined Attack of the Twin Stars Great Magistrate, and even chasing after them!
Looking at the sky and earth cleared by his own Attacks, Ren Suo tugged at his clothing neckline, breathing a sigh of relief. The women's outfit had fitted perfectly when transforming into Ren Xingmei just now, but it felt a bit tight as a Truth Seeker.
Suddenly, two figures appeared before and behind Ren Suo, attacking him simultaneously!
From behind, a muscle-bound man in camouflage, with fists that could tear space, aimed at Ren Suo: the Revealing Victory Great Magistrate!
From the front, a handsome young man in formal attire, opened a gaping mouth that could swallow a grown man whole, biting towards Ren Suo: the Rolling Earth Great Magistrate!
Two Great Magistrates, ambushing at the same time!
The Twin Stars Great Magistrate, having been put in quite a disarray by Ren Suo's recent countering moves, converged together, sneering, "You won't escape this time—"
The Rolling Earth Great Magistrate's gaping maw tore off flesh.
The Revealing Victory Great Magistrate's iron fist pierced through the body.
"Time, it's such an astonishing toy."
Avoiding the ambush with a casual use of "Time Roaming," Ren Suo, upon seeing the comical scene of both Great Magistrates hitting each other, couldn't help but chuckle silently.
He glanced at the distant Twin Stars Great Magistrate, then sensed the scent of Destiny once again.
The slot machine reappeared.
The first symbol: Sony.
The second symbol: Sony.
The third symbol: Sony.
"Your Miracle is that your Spell Attacks will surely hit Divine Descendants, and they will inflict 100% additional damage."
"But your cost is that you will absolutely never attain happiness."
Worthy of being Didra's second, the number one Divine Descendant loudmouth Sony. Dead, yet still able to curse people. Too impressive.
"Since that's the case..." Ren Suo looked at the Twin Stars Great Magistrate, who were regrouping, and at the Revealing Victory Great Magistrate and Rolling Earth Great Magistrate, who were attempting to retreat to the side for Healing. It would be rude of me to decline.
Ren Suo spread his arms, mentally aiming at the three Great Magistrates, and his ten fingers revealed different Spell Energy Radiance.
Sony, rest in peace. Now you'll have a lot of people you hate to argue with.
