Chapter 431 Mouse Evolution! Supreme Secret Food! Reflecting the 3rd World
Chapter 431 Mouse Evolution! Supreme Secret Food! Reflecting Three Lifetimes
The resource library opened, and several orbs of light floated in front of Lu Yu. They were [Ninth Finger Night Howler's Touch], [Fourth Finger Pain Mask], [Egg of Cause and Effect], [Despair Lamp - Dark Wishing Machine], [Other-Transformation Free Tai Sui Seal], and the newly acquired Third Finger material.
All of them are high-level materials, involving top-level rules such as cause and effect, darkness, suffering, calamity, and desire. Moreover, they do not involve the descendants of the seven royal trees, otherwise they could also be used to refine some of the death rule paths.
Even the legitimate son of a true king would be green with envy upon seeing such high-grade materials.
Given their family background, acquiring the true king's descendants and powerful individuals nurtured within the kingdom's ecosystem would not be difficult.
But if you want to choose your attributes freely like Lu Yu...
Almost impossible!
After all, the higher you go on the path, the fewer high-level experts there are, and the fewer related materials there will be.
Lu Yu's act of focusing so many high-level materials on a single pet would definitely be criticized as a waste.
If separated, they could easily produce four or five powerful pet beasts.
but……
Lu Yu's personality is such that he either doesn't do anything at all, or once he starts, he does it to the best of his ability!
Instead of creating a group of top geniuses, it's better to cultivate a single top prodigy.
After all, he came to the Myriad Races Arena to witness geniuses, but they all called themselves "geniuses".
At the same rank, the latter completely crushed the former!
Since the mouse possesses the characteristics of being ever-changing and almost chaotic, and can accommodate these powers, then it should carry forward its advantages!
Thinking of this, Lu Yu looked at the third finger material he had painstakingly obtained through fishing.
【The Third Finger's Three-Phase Corpse - Incomplete (Six-Star Advanced): Originating from the Third Finger's yearning for the future, it later encountered the Distant Feasterer, who inspired it to understand the power of cause and effect, and severed its own evil, obsession, and good three-phase corpse, making itself independent of cause and effect, becoming a rootless and sourceless spirit.
He attempted to connect the past, present, and future through his three forms, but all attempts failed.
However, under certain conditions, it is possible to remain unaffected by cause and effect, to be unable to lock onto, to usurp the cause and effect of all things, and to plunder the concept of existence.
Users can digest the power of existence to generate numerous causal threads, manipulate cause and effect, deceive living beings, and thereby generate numerous spells.
But please note that while manipulating cause and effect, one can also be manipulated by cause and effect.
Users will gradually become entangled in numerous threads of cause and effect, involuntarily dragged towards ■■■■. They need to possess indelible characteristics, see through the deception of cause and effect, and conceal themselves on the path of cause and effect to avoid being discovered.
Once discovered, it will lead to strange changes.
However, by grasping cause and effect, one grasps the agreement between all things. The corresponding law of cause and effect is the rule you set, which is also a special law.
However, because it was a demonic corpse and a half-body of obsession slashed out by the third finger, it only plundered half of the other party's cause and effect, inheriting the indelible characteristics and some of the ability to manipulate cause and effect.
For safe use, please seek out a benevolent corpse and a sourceless entity to refine it.
It can be made into evolutionary secret foods of the causal, soul, and transformation types, or it can be made into a skill secret food called "Tripartite Causality (Incomplete)," which grants partial immortality and the ability to manipulate causality.
"No wonder the third finger broke through her defenses; it turns out she also wanted to, but it seems she failed..."
And the appearance rate of the Distant Feasterer is way too high! Is this guy the first finger? Or the second finger?
Lu Yu began to get curious.
It was able to help the third finger develop a concept similar to the "severing of the three corpses" from a previous mythological story. Untouched by worldly karma, its strength, even if not that of a true king, is not far off.
At the same time, he orchestrated the birth of numerous Divine Finger techniques, nurturing nine eggs of causality within a single kingdom. It can be said that...
They've been stirring up trouble since ancient times.
Could this guy be an agent of the Faceless God?
"There's no use thinking about it now. I might as well wait until I infiltrate the Brotherhood of Faceless before exploring further. After all, I'm considered an 'elder'..."
Lu Yu pondered to himself that using the information revealed by the Eye of Truth to fool the Faceless Brotherhood should be quite amusing.
As his thoughts raced, the Primordial Furnace had reached its zenith. Lu Yu reached out and threw the [Ninth Finger's Night Howler's Touch] into it.
The indestructible legendary qualities melted rapidly in the primordial flames, constantly releasing impurities. The rules were refined to purity, transforming into a deep abyss of darkness.
What is a forbidden zone for the creatures of the main world is quite... in the eyes of the Thousand-Handed Demon God.
Mini.
The second addition is the [Pain Mask of the Fourth Finger].
The twisted, hard, pale mask was repeatedly ignited, trembling violently in the air, and rapidly refined...
It originates from the concept of suffering that the Faceless God stole from the Lord of Thorns, the Court of the Sea of Bitterness.
In an instant, it transformed into a silent sea of suffering where billions of living beings wailed. Then, the abyss of darkness boiled, stretching out countless dark tentacles to conceal the pain.
And within suffering, a great deal of darkness is constantly being conceived.
The two complement each other!
"Pain lies hidden in the darkness..." Lu Yu murmured as he took out the Egg of Cause and Effect.
This item was once used by the leader of the Limb-Splitting Demons to usurp Lu Yu's power of existence, but it ended up looking directly at the forbidden sun, causing it to mutate.
After keeping these materials in my resource library for so long, I can finally use them.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"
The fleshy ball covered in eyes looked at the boundless chaos and the indescribable ancient demon god behind the thick, chaotic mist, and let out a terrified scream.
The figure before him... was impossible to observe, impossible to perceive, and even the mere thought of its existence filled him with immense terror, constantly shattering his reason.
However, the sound was annihilated as soon as it was heard; if it hadn't been used as material, it would probably have disappeared into the chaos long ago.
Lu Yu did not throw it in directly, but instead took out the material from the third finger to supplement it, forcibly using the Egg of Cause and Effect as the benevolent corpse to construct the [Pseudo-Three-Phase Body].
The overall material level has been upgraded to the top-tier six-star level.
"This line of thinking is indeed correct!"
Lu Yu, after reading the information and being inspired by the distant revelers, realized something...
Since he created most of the Finger of God, can we assume that their powers all originated from the same source?
Or rather, it's a branch that originated from the revelers!
After all, the Brotherhood of No Faces has always been eccentric, so even if someone eventually tells him that they are all actually one person in disguise, Lu Yu wouldn't be surprised.
Therefore, he used the Egg of Cause and Effect as a supplement to the superior material. Although it could not achieve the same effect as the original, it could still supplement some causal paths and make up for the shortcomings.
Click click click!
Then, Lu Yu threw it into the Primordial Furnace, where it was continuously tempered and enhanced, intertwined with the Black Abyss and the Sea of Bitterness, and quickly transformed into a dark sphere.
Then it slowly floated up and, under Lu Yu's control, split into three.
They transformed into three blurry figures, which had no fixed shape and were constantly changing, each standing in the past, present, and future.
Click click click!
But it takes shape only for a moment before the "future" begins to crumble, and then the "past" is buried by the thick dust of history, leaving only the "present" behind.
In response, Lu Yu took out the [Despair Lamp] and used the Primal Furnace to refine it. The Dark Wish Machine, which had been abandoned by the rules of hope and had become dim, briefly burst forth with a black-gold radiance and fell into the hands of the "present" body.
hum!
As it shines with the power of wishes, although it has no facial features and cannot make a sound, it is clear that it is wishing to anchor its past and future and perfectly reproduce them.
hum!
As the power of hope blossomed, the dust of history on the "past" figures gradually dissipated, and the "future" began to reorganize, with everything moving in a positive direction.
The secret recipe is gradually taking shape...
boom!
But the good times didn't last long. The power of the wish seemed to have touched some taboo and was soon buried by a mysterious force of cause and effect.
The future self and the past self collapsed again, even invading the "present" in reverse, causing the little man to kneel on the ground and begin to gradually perish.
"Power is earned through one's own efforts, not through the pity and favors of others!" Lu Yu said softly, having witnessed the entire process.
Chi Chi Chi!
As soon as the words fell, a large number of dark red tentacles spread out from the mouth of the Despair Lamp. It was the [Transformation of the Tai Sui Seal], which directly swallowed the "present" figure and turned into a deep red twisted shadow.
With a "crackling" sound, tendrils quickly grew from its body, growing wildly to resist the power of annihilation and constantly spreading towards the past and future. Even when it shattered, it would split into more similar dark red figures, constantly delving deeper into the two ends of time.
Boom boom boom!
Fearless and relentless, they swiftly conquered cities and fortresses, continuously occupying them and extending their crimson power, ultimately succeeding in gathering forces in the past and future.
Then, two twisted, crimson figures were born. Although they were still being eroded, they successfully gained a foothold and persevered with their tenacious vitality, thus constructing the concept of the three phases.
As for the concept of "now," it is stained even deeper with dark red, with countless tentacles spreading out to connect everything.
And this is the power of the True King of the Misfortune Tai Sui clan.
Although my ex-husband is terrible, it doesn't mean that the unlucky zodiac sign is terrible!
This race is born with the ability to see and control misfortune, possesses extreme vitality, and the ability to parasitize all things.
The past and the future are both dominated by certain great terrors, and direct confrontation would be the most foolish thing to do.
The strength is completely mismatched!
Instead, let a large number of seeds be sown, like sparks of fire, constantly parasitizing and spreading, leaving their mark all over time.
You can kill the present, but you can't kill the past or the future.
As long as you leave behind a single seed, you can start all over again!
While it may not be as illogical as a forbidden existence, it can still be achieved indirectly...
Immortal and indestructible! This is the inspiration Lu Yu gained from the Future Rat, and also his culmination of understanding the Secret Food Path.
He believed he was on the right track!
"However, one crucial step is still missing!"
Lu Yu murmured softly, looking at the struggling "present" body. If it stopped here, even if the mouse evolved, it would still be constantly eroded by the past and the future, which would only drag down the present and please neither side.
"Therefore, we must hide and develop our strength stealthily!"
For example, if Lu Yu hadn't relied on the [Destiny's Protection] which could shield him from the prying eyes of those below the True King level, he would have been nipped in the bud by numerous opponents through divination in his childhood, and would never have had the chance to sweep across everything and become invincible.
However, as his strength increased, [Fate's Protection] gradually became unable to keep up with his pace.
Therefore, a more powerful stealth capability is needed, such as...
Rumble!
Lu Yu, in his Thousand-Handed Demon God form, probed into the material library and retrieved a jet-black ball of light. It spread out an endless night, and wherever it passed, all things hid and fell into eternal silence.
In the outside world, this would be enough to plunge most of the alliance into chaos, but in the Chaos Sea, this silence was instantly extinguished.
Exactly...
Half of the Night's Authority of the Hidden Corpse Emperor!
She was tricked by the Mother of Twilight, then taken from her by the Daughter of Eternal Darkness, and finally retrieved by Lu Yu in the war to kill the gods at the Sun Relics.
It contains divine power that can conceal everything, and even the spirit of the ruins that is the incarnation of the Heavenly King of Daylight was easily deceived by it.
If Lu Yu's Eye of Truth hadn't been connected to the Forbidden Position, making it even more buggy, the problem wouldn't have been discovered.
Lu Yu originally intended to take it back and trade it with the Corpse-Hidden Emperor for treasures of equal value, but now that he thinks about it...
It's better suited for use in your own hands!
It should be made clear here that Lu Yu never owed the Hidden Corpse Emperor anything; on the contrary, he helped Him return to the mortal world and was the Emperor's benefactor.
However, the other party also offered corresponding compensation, so it was barely considered even.
Lu Yu did not believe that the other party's reincarnation as a human meant that they had goodwill towards the human race. Even now, they were only strategic allies because they had a common enemy!
Whether the Hidden Corpse Emperor harbored ill intentions is unknown...
That's why Lu Yu hesitated to go to the Night Village in the Underworld, fearing he might encounter some unexpected trouble.
"Besides, this is my spoils of war!" Lu Yu's lips curled up slightly, not feeling embarrassed at all.
He was a man of strong principles, clearly distinguishing between gratitude and resentment. This was a treasure he had snatched from the Mother of Twilight at a great cost, and he would not be so pedantic as to relinquish the authority of the gods.
Moreover, he had a vague feeling...
This part of the power was perhaps something that Emperor Zanghai voluntarily relinquished.
"I hope I'm wrong." Lu Yu's gaze was deep. If it were true... then the other party's scheme was far too grand.
Lu Yu threw half of the power of the night into the primordial furnace, causing it to roar violently. Primordial flames wrapped around, scorched, and tempered the power, returning it to a deeper darkness.
Like a dark curtain, it's perfect for adding some decorations.
For example... the original starry sky!
hum!
Lu Yu chuckled to himself as he integrated the refined authority into his "present" form. The dark red and the night intertwined, but instead of being unilaterally stained by the black, it transformed into a mysterious and profound deep red radiance.
It shines exactly like the radiance on the future rat!
The radiance swept across, transforming into countless crimson tentacles, spreading once again into the past and the future!
However, this time, it did not suffer strong erosion; instead, it eroded the past and future bodies, quickly connecting them and staining them all deep red.
When the three figures are connected, a smile appears on the blurred face!
They overlapped and quickly transformed into a deep red ball of light, which appeared in Lu Yu's hand.
Related information also emerged.
【Evil God Pudding of the Eclipse World】
[Description: Created by the Lord of the Gate himself, based on the Ninth Finger's Night Howler's Touch, and incorporating materials such as the Fourth Finger, it contains the power to erode all realms, disrupt cause and effect, and distort the blessings of the gods.]
Suitable for pets of the Soul, Causality, Change, Misfortune, Time, and Darkness types. If not a pet of a mixed type consumes this, it may cause unknown changes; please consider carefully.
[Grade: Supreme]
[Evaluation: It is a work of art, as affirmed by truth.]
"The first supreme-grade secret food has finally been created!"
Lu Yu was overjoyed. His efforts in collecting various materials had finally paid off, and he had achieved the highest evaluation.
So he couldn't wait to leave the Chaos Sea and return to reality.
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
The mouse, still in a dazed state, trembled amidst the surrounding pets. Upon seeing Lu Yu return, it quickly ran over and continued to cling to him.
Lu Yu patted its head and handed it the pudding in his hand.
Just like back then, when I reached out to the mouse and led it away from the abandoned city.
This time, however, it's about leading it away from confusion.
"Squeak?" The mouse tilted its head, somewhat puzzled. Being in a mentally challenged state, it couldn't understand what was happening in front of it.
But looking at the shiny red pudding in front of it and smelling its sweet aroma, it couldn't help but swallow its saliva. Its body's instincts drove it to take a bite, and then it ate it whole.
boom!
The next second, it froze on the spot, its body constantly radiating the light of evolution, and all its rat clones turned into radiance, returning to its body like swallows returning to their nest.
The mouse... is beginning to evolve!
Lu Yu originally wanted many pet beasts to protect him, but unexpectedly, endless crimson light gathered and formed a shield, covering an area of ten miles and turning it into a crimson world, hiding all traces.
This guy has actually developed it into a bodily instinct.
The immense pressure continued to spread out, making Egg and Red Hare feel oppressed.
The Paper Knight put away the Bible of Redemption, his eyes, hidden behind the cross mask, gleaming with anticipation.
"Eek!"
The little spider looked on expectantly, knowing it would see a brand new mouse.
The entire evolution process lasted for more than an hour before it ended.
As the light faded, a new form of the mouse appeared before everyone.
It's less of a hamster and more of...
Demon God's Embryo!
The hamster originally had yellow fur and looked adorable, but now it has deep red stripes on its body. The delicate red coral horns on its head have now turned into winding tree horns growing on the top of its head and the sides of its forehead, intertwined together, like the prototype of an ancient crown. It has lost some of its childishness and gained some of its domineering presence.
A mysterious crimson halo appeared behind them, with countless causal runes shining and slowly rotating.
It leaned against a throne formed by clouds of crimson light, its pupils reflecting the shimmering crimson divine runes.
Beneath its feet, the shadows cast stretched ever backward, constructing a mysterious crimson world. Within this world grew a colossal, crimson tree with a lush canopy that extended into countless branches, upon which hung crimson, blurry masks.
This giant tree has countless roots as thick as blood-red dragons, constantly spreading into the void, as if standing in time, reflecting the past, present, and future.
However, these thick roots, like shackles, entangled the two mysterious figures, connecting them together.
It is covered by a thick layer of historical dust, obscuring its true appearance.
The other one, though somewhat blurry, was clearly humanoid, with a slender build, shrouded in a thin veil of deep red light, and six arms, each forming a mysterious incantation. Its body was tightly wrapped with numerous deep red tree roots.
On its head are tree-shaped "horns" just like those of a mouse, but they are more ferocious and messy, giving it a noble appearance. An ancient, sundial-like disc grows from its back, with countless ancient divine runes engraved on its surface, except for a missing section at the very top, symbolizing that the past and the future can never be connected.
The center was empty, with a black and red sphere of light floating there, from which countless dark red threads extended, connecting to the disc.
From a distance, it looks like a bloodshot eye, gazing at everything in the world with malice.
Two figures were connected to the rat on the throne through the roots of the crimson tree.
But rather than being the mouse's past or future self, it's more accurate to say...
They used the hamster's skin as a metaphor to project reality!
Lu Yu was not surprised by this; in fact, he had anticipated it.
In fact, from the moment the hamster first evolved into the Thousand-Faced Soul Hamster, it was no longer a simple hamster, or rather, the species itself had changed.
The creature itself is actually an amorphous life form, and it maintains the appearance of a hamster simply because it likes it.
If a mouse is willing, it can transform into other species, such as monsters, humans, or even some indescribable things.
Of course, this is on the premise that you've seen it before.
hum!
As Lu Yu pondered, the [Rancher] puzzle piece trembled slightly, conveying new information about the mouse.
