The third floor of the Abyss was originally the repository of the Slymodeg limbs. Nowadays, a stone shrine stood in the centre of this place, and in terms of the shrine alone, it was indistinguishable from any city of the Yao Clan.
At this moment, the Sinner Hai Fold was kneeling inside the temple, praying to the idol of the Yao God.
“Omniscient Yao God, your loyal servant awaits your oracle, and until the oracle is given, Hai Fold will always wait.”
“I hope you will like this offering, it is the spoils of war obtained by the Legion of Sinners who annihilated a Demigod ……”
Lu Yao heard that it could be.
Slow down.
Killed a Demigod?
There were no more Demigods on the first to third levels, and the Sinner Legion had already descended to the fourth level?
Lu Yao stopped his thoughts first and double-clicked on the offering.
It looked like a piece of red onyx with a green gem at the top as a pot stopper, and it was quite delicate under the pixelated image.
……
[Smoker’s Snuff Bottle LV3]: faith +3/hour.
Life: 180/180
Filled with powdered tobacco, spices or other substances that retain their aroma, the life value will continue to decrease when opened, bringing about the [Extreme Hyperactivity] and [Poisoned] states.
……
This prop was a double-edged sword.
Lu Yao threw it into the props bar and prepared to use it cautiously. When creating a Transcendent Creature, it would be troublesome to mess up a poisonous insect with this item.
The prop disappeared, causing light bulbs to light up on the heads of the kneeling sinners.
“Great Lord Yao God, it’s wonderful that you don’t hate this offering.”
He fished out another item from his body and put it into the offering bar.
It was a leather item in the shape of an X-shaped harness, with a wide belt at the bottom that looked like some sort of clothing attire.
Lu Yao blinked.
There was a second offering?
……
[Rock Giant Sash LV2]: +1/hour to Faith. Defence +10.
A home prop used by rock giants to carry their babies on their backs, combining flexibility and protection, it is a reflection of the rock giants’ sense of family responsibility.
……
So it’s really a carrier.
Lu Yao’s heart was conflicted.
At the critical moment these 10 points of defence might be of great use, and it was not good to take it to create biological experiments.
He sighed and pulled the backstrap into the props bar as well.
Immediately after that, the Sinner Sea Fold in the temple pulled out another item and put it into the [Offerings] bar.
There’s more?
Lu Yao fixed his eyes on it.
The third offering was a small red flag with gold-coloured edges.
……
[Siren’s Vitality Flag LV3]: faith +2/hour.
A prop made by the Siren clan, waving the flag would make the Sirens become mentally energised from their laziness.
……
There was actually a chicken blood beating treasure.
Lu Yao liked this.
This prop was perfect for creating transcendent species.
In the world mastered by the Yao Clan, there was no siren as a species, and the only one they had dealt with was the Kraken, a siren under the Prayer God’s command, but it wasn’t a local species either, so this prop couldn’t be used.
However.
Is there any more?
Lu Yao looked towards the Sea Fold.
“……”
Hai Fold knelt on the ground, as if sensing the oppressive feeling from the gods, “…… Great Yao God, the Legion of Sins will surely offer new sacrifices for you.”
Listening to this meant that there were no more.
Lu Yao was also satisfied.
“Offering you the collected Flames of Faith.”
A flame rose above Hai Fold’s head and merged into the upper right corner of the interface.
Faith +61071.
This was the [Collector] trait that came with the Sinner, collecting fear, pain, anger, and jealousy and transforming them into the Flame of Faith.
Lu Yao’s total faith reserves now came to 21.78 million.
Earlier, props were the mainstay of increasing the Flame of Faith. However, with the inheritance of the Golden Wilderness and the Black Abyss, Lu Yao had 15 million Faith Starting Funds, and the prop side was insignificant.
He had opened quite a few big projects, making and losing money, but with a high tolerance for error he didn’t care about momentary losses, and fundamentally he was making money.
The flourishing development of the Yao civilisation continued to allow a large number of faith fires to be accounted for.
The initial steady development was the foundation, and the Golden Wilderness and Black Abyss were the enabler and the first bucket of gold, which really rolled up the snowball.
Putting away the last Fire Prop, Lu Yao sent Isabelle to enter the third level of the Abyss to understand the situation.
Facing the Apostle, Sea Fold appeared much more relaxed.
“Miss Isabelle, the situation is like this ……”
After killing the Star Sea God, Hai Fold chose to recuperate.
For a long period of time, the Sinner Legion’s Clay Corpse Demons had been practising cooperating with each other to quickly complete tactical moves such as ambushes, raids and kills.
To ensure that the training was effective, Hai Fold had the Corpse Demons fight for real, mimicking a real life and death fight by blowing themselves up. The live-fire drills also resulted in a certain amount of personnel losses, but Hai Fold thought it was worth it.
Combined with the fact that the Clay Ones and Ghouls on the ground floor were still continuously fusing into Ghouls, the total number of Ghouls steadily increased.
When the clay ghouls came to 302, the first three layers could no longer support the production of new ghouls. The first and second layers of available corpses had already been dug up, making it difficult for further growth in the short term.
Hai Fold immediately decided to go deeper into the abyss to feed on the battle!
He couldn’t break the seal forged by the Flame of Faith, but the third layer was already riddled with cracks, and there was no shortage of natural trails within it, just no guarantee of longevity.
Sea Fold made many attempts and found a path after consuming 18 Corpse Demons.
He led the group across the cracks.
In this goat path, the Sinner Legion bumped into a Demigod, and both sides encountered each other instantly while simultaneously launching attacks towards each other.
At this time, the results of the Sinner Legion’s long and intense combat training were displayed, and the Legion killed the demigod at the cost of 37 necromancers killed in action, and seized the three trophies.
After digesting the demigod’s body, some of the Sinner Legion’s necromancers had slightly increased in level, and 2 [Corpse Hunters] were also born.
Ghoul hunters create ghouls by [Sewing Corpses], and corpses that could not be used in the past could be utilised by the ghoul hunters, which further increased the population ceiling of the clay ghouls.
After this encounter, Sea Fold also led the group back to the third level, and the trail quickly disappeared.
“…… If the encounter was with a Spell Worm, or a Demigod with a restraining power, the destruction of the pathway alone could result in the destruction of the entire legion.”
Hai Fold said, “That’s why I dare to pray, hoping that Lord Yao God will give guidance and open the gate to the fourth level. So that the Sinner Legion can continue on and offer more sacrifices and faith to the great god!”
Isabel was silent.
Hai Fold waited quietly.
Lu Yao pondered that it was good for people to want to progress and challenge.
The seal that led from the third level to the fourth level was on the ground right in the centre, where it was also entangled in chains, and there were many fire clusters coalesced by the Flame of Faith on it.
Lu Yao clicked on the seal, and the many flames instantly flew into the upper right corner, bringing him 96,000 points of faith.
He did some calculations in his mind.
The second layer of the seal was 32,000 points of Flame of Faith, the third layer was opened by the Curse Worm so it was unknown, and with the third layer, it looked as if it was a multiple of 32,000.
Lu Yao clicked on the black vortex and the perspective cut to the fourth layer.
The screen suddenly brightened up.
The main body of this layer was a sizeable city.
The roads in the city are crisscrossed, and many pixelated small monsters walk around in it, stalls, yellers, jugglers, goods movers, patrollers, and small monsters of all kinds …… make up a world that is like a painting of the river above the Qingming River.
If it wasn’t for the [four layers of the abyss] floating in the middle of the simulator, Lu Yao would have doubted whether he had thrown the mouse away and cut to some other place.
Lu Yao quickly noticed that the light here came from the dome.
There were two dozen [Berserk Inferno Birds] there, and they gathered their wings and snuggled up to each other, creating a giant fireball that resembled the sun, emitting a light that enveloped the entire city.
On the ground, in the centre of the fourth level was a wide crossroads. Around the central cross-shaped long road, a building shaped like a mountain or a cave lined up, and the monster inhabitants of this place lived in this one cave or on a small hill.
Removing one of the four long paths that connected to the three or four levels of passages, the remaining three spread out into the distant darkness.
And at the intersection of the crossroads was a magnificent stone statue, a sculpture of a giant sitting on the ground with one hand resting on his cheek, reminding Lu Yao of the famous Thinker.
The clay necromancers lined up in neat rows and took uniform steps, led by Hai Fold into this odd and orderly city.
The two little monsters guarding the roadside saw the vast army of Corpse Demons, and huge exclamation marks popped up above both of their heads.
One of the winged little monsters said, “I’ll go report to the king! You delay them!”
After saying this, it lifted its wings and vanished at a surprisingly fast speed.
Left behind was a LV14 skinny minotaur that held a stone spear and warily walked over to the Corpse Demon Legion, “This is the Four Directions Kingdom, what do you …… want?”
Hai Fold raised his hand and the legion immediately stopped.
He looked towards the roadblocking little monster and didn’t say anything for a long time.
The minotaur’s head sprouted a nervous expression of frantic sweating.
Lu Yao unwrapped a packet of melon seeds and entered melon eating mode.
