Chapter 562: The First Sealed City — How Did You Become the Saint Lord?
Before Perfect Life, golden light outlined the edges of eight cities, forming a rather abstract pattern.
If this pattern was rotated at a certain angle, the edges and main roads of each city would combine to form the shape of the Eight Trigrams!
Moreover, in each corresponding direction, they would also form the six-line diagrams representing the respective positions.
Exactly matching "Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, Dui"!
Therefore, from the very beginning, Perfect Life didn't believe what Death Messenger said about "just picking random names."
Complete nonsense! How could this possibly be a coincidence?
However, every six-line diagram corresponding to another six-line diagram was actually an inverted shape!
Where Qian and Kun should have been opposite each other, it became Kun and Qian opposite!
Some might ask, if everything is reversed, wouldn't it be equivalent to being the same?
Not the same! Because the state of the yin-yang fish is fixed. Looking at the Eight Trigrams formed before him, Perfect Life felt like he was looking at a mirror image.Although it seemed harmless, it just felt very uncomfortable.
Rotating the edges of each city from another angle could form another pattern of Eight Trigrams and six-line diagrams, but no matter how they were combined, the result remained the same!
"Why is everything reversed? This isn't right."
Theoretically speaking, this combination method shouldn't even be possible, somewhat violating geometric principles.
Perfect Life looked at the image before him, his mind increasingly confirming one speculation.
"It definitely can't be a coincidence!"
"This is a setup, have you noticed it or not!?"
Perfect Life muttered to himself somewhat helplessly. The divination signs all showed reversals, which should be some kind of omen.
Reversal, what does reversal mean?
"Changing factions, could that count as a reversal?"
"Does that mean we need to switch factions to win, or not switch factions to win?"
After thinking for a long time, Perfect Life shook his head vigorously and put away the illusory light map before him.
This time, the Divine Messenger doesn't seem to be underestimating you, setting up such a scheme.
But... have you made the corresponding preparations?
That "Blank," I wonder if she's noticed anything. If she's in the Demon faction, there might be another one digging a pit for you.
Facing the game's sanctions and the Divine Messenger's challenge, can you really afford to be so arrogant?
Taking a deep breath, he had already wasted too much time. He was the world's second-ranked player, he couldn't come here like a fortune teller to divine fortunes, he couldn't think too much.
Walking out of the shop where he had been hiding, he looked at the streets outside and immediately froze.
To maintain absolute focus earlier, he had been in a self-sealed state, completely undisturbed by any external messages.
So when he came out, he saw a completely changed world.
Before he went in, what he saw was a harmonious city where people lived and worked in peace.
But now, corpses were strewn everywhere, battles raged all around, demons could be seen everywhere, and the city before him had completely transformed into a special battlefield.
"What?"
"How much time has passed?"
"Is the game's progression this fast?!"
Perfect Life was completely stunned, then quickly got into the zone and began the demon-hunting campaign.
A massive golden light screen expanded outward from his position, providing protection to all civilians, while acting like some kind of corrosive force against demons, shattering them with destructive power.
Perfect Life's choice to join the Saint faction had nothing to do with winning or losing from the start. His genetic instincts wouldn't allow him to become a demon.
Watching the screaming civilians fleeing throughout the city, although they wanted to escape, the game was only this big, the city was only this big, like birds in a forest with nowhere to flee.
For a moment, Perfect Life's eyes showed a dazed expression, as if somewhat blurred about whether this was a game or reality.
But soon, his expression showed some relief.
Because in this city, he could see several Saints flying in the distance, doing their utmost to save the city and its people.
Their strength seemed roughly adequate for participating in this game level.
They showed no signs of slacking off, continuously cheering and shouting as if genuinely saving their own citizens.
This was good. Originally, according to Perfect Life's judgment, since this game allowed faction switching, players might all become fence-sitters.
Not to mention protecting the NPCs here.
Players being this enthusiastic and hardworking was truly beyond his expectations.
He just didn't understand what they were saying - things like "Saint Lord," "the last hope to save this world" - it was quite confusing.
Had something happened during the time he was deducing?
A new mission?
Just as he was feeling puzzled, a violent golden light suddenly erupted in the southeast direction!
Whipping his head around, that domineering, fierce aura made him instantly recognize who this was.
—Sin!
Sin's aura seemed stronger than at the beginning of the game.
Well, that's perfectly reasonable - this guy often gets stronger the more he fights.
Checking his game interface, Perfect Life got a shock!
On the panel showing the eight cities now, there were densely packed red dots everywhere.
Among them were two particularly eye-catching, obviously larger red dots.
One of them had just disappeared - exactly when Pride eliminated it in another city.
[Hell Envoys eliminated: 3/16!]
Already the third one. Just moments ago, this Hell Envoy had been personally slain by Lu Ce.
And now, guided by the New Saints, he had arrived at this "Gen" city.
The beacon on the Hell Envoy's chest here, combined with the existing beacons, could form a new one!
Meaning that here, the first city with sealed Demon Beacons was likely about to be born.
Golden light surged forward on flowing streams underfoot, the Black Knight's speed pushed to its maximum, carrying Pride who wielded a golden battle axe, charging like lightning toward that Hell Envoy's location.
The intense golden pressure even overwhelmed Perfect Life's own aura.
In the sky, six or seven New Saints had already gathered in this city, all congregating here!
Watching the light streaking across the sky, they simultaneously stopped all their actions, slightly bowing toward where Lu Ce passed, loudly declaring:
"Saint Lord!"
Perfect Life instantly stiffened completely, turning his head in shock.
The Saint Lord they're talking about is you?!
