Life Game In Other World
Chapter 1108

Chapter 1108: Chapter 1108

A certain power from the foundational layer of the world passed through the twisted lines that constitute the world, stirring up the structure built into the fabric of space and time, warping it.

In the field of view of the ’Eye of Truth,’ invisible ’lines’ are now spreading out from the bottom layer of the world, connecting to those people waiting to ’go’ to the relics.

These lines merged with the entire world, as if they were some sort of fundamental rule of the world’s origin, a pure natural phenomenon.

He Ao manipulated the Eye of Truth, attempting to ’tug’ at those lines with the power of the Eye of Truth.

But the moment he merely touched one of those lines, the foundational lines of the entire world surged violently.

The clear skies suddenly became covered with dark clouds, and the calm sea surface whipped up a surging storm, with a huge whirlpool appearing from below the sea out of nowhere, intending to sweep everything on the sea into its vortex.

The people on the ships had not yet reacted when the violent waves lifted their vessels, aiming to throw them into the sky.

In that instant, He Ao ’released’ the ’line’ he had touched.

The waves and the storm vanished into thin air at that moment, and the ships that were pushed up into the sky fell back into the sea, splashing violently.

The huge ships swayed on the sea’s surface like bamboo leaves drifting in the wind.

Amidst the screams of panic, He Ao raised his head to glance at the sky.

The dark clouds covering the firmament had not dissipated, and the surging of the world’s bottom layer rules had not fully settled.

He Ao had no doubt that if he continued to touch those lines, the storm from the world’s bottom layer would destroy everything spiritual around it.

A ’rule’ of self-destruction, once it detects strong interference, it would immediately cut off the relic passage, destroying everything around the relic passage.

No wonder the angels in the relics did not find the Main World by following the passage, but instead subtly polluted and changed those who entered the relics through the passage.

However, if the angels are helpless against this type of ’self-destruction,’ does it mean the Divine Beings have no measures against it?

He Ao gazed at the sky already faintly flickering with thunder.

Was this ’self-destruction’ only meant to hinder the angels’ prying eyes? When faced with Divine Beings, does the power constructing this relic passage have another way?

He withdrew his gaze, looking towards the distant fleet and crowd.

Although he had not touched the essence of the relic passage, his goal had been achieved.

He had marked a few people’s ’lines’ with his own aura.

Next, it remained to be seen if that special ’mystical attraction’ would also be effective during the transportation through the relic passage.

The relic passage, which had paused opening due to the calming of the storm, continued to open, and almost in the next instant, those people within the passage area disappeared from the sea surface.

An old-fashioned train whistled, continuing towards the depths of the sea along the calm surface.

He Ao turned his line of sight, looking behind him.

The eye floating behind his head hadn’t disappeared, with orange-gray light suffusing his pupils.

In that world’s deepest layer, amidst all the darkness.

A certain invisible ’ripple’ was gently spreading.

Some force, through the rituals of the past, was reshaping the ’Advent of Fate’ that was already broken.

——

"Is this the relics?"

Ruilin raised her head, looking at the desolate and ruined city around her.

She had seen the City of Rong Guang and also the Main World, and now, she had come here.

Completely different from the brightness of the new City of Rong Guang or the bustling of the Main World, this place was total desolation and destruction.

Civilization seemed to have already gone extinct on this land, leaving only a solitary, broken tombstone.

She lifted her gaze towards the distance.

At the end of her field of view, a towering tower reaching into the clouds came into view.

She wore the Church emblem on her chest and drew out the bronze sword at her waist, charging towards the northern side of the towering high tower.

In different directions of the relics, different people also looked up and saw the tower, and then without hesitation, they headed towards the north side of the tower.

——

He Ao controlled the ’Mr. Hao Yi’ clone to pass through the open doors of the Velora, looking at the wide grand hall in front of him.

A row of researchers clad in pure white uniforms was already standing throughout the hall, casting curious and cautious glances towards ’Hao Yi’.

In front of them, an outdated test tube rack stood upright, with neatly arranged mithril test tubes containing milky white liquid.

Next to the test tube rack was a silver bowl filled with adorable bear-shaped gummies.

"Mr. Hao Yi,"

An older gentleman approached, excitedly introducing to ’Hao Yi’, "This is the potion reproduced from the formula you provided.

"Many of the names of the extraordinary plants in your formula differ from ours, but thankfully the medicinal properties were also included. Using these characteristics, we’ve identified the corresponding plants, and where we couldn’t, we’ve found substitutes with similar medicinal properties,"

He looked at ’Hao Yi’, barely able to conceal his excitement in his voice,

"This potion is very potent; even powerful Transcendents would be affected by it. If we research further, we might uncover the essence of Transcendents and the human body.

"Regrettably, several key ingredients come from ruins and either don’t exist or are in very low supply in the real world, leaving us without reserves. Therefore, we can only produce these potions at the moment."

With a smile on his face, he quickly said, "However, these materials are not scarce in the ruins. There are many people entering the ruins this time, and we’ve informed them of our needs. Once these Explorers return, we should be able to acquire a large amount of raw materials.

"As per your request, these potions can soon be mass-produced."

"Hmm."

He Ao nodded slightly, his gaze falling on each of the test tubes before him.

He reached out, taking a test tube filled with the milky white liquid.

"This is the ’Before-Medicine,’ which can weaken or even suppress some of a Transcendent’s powers,"

The elderly man watched He Ao handle the test tube and spoke slowly, then turned his gaze to the bear-shaped gummies in the silver bowl and continued,

"These gummies are ’After-Medicine.’ After taking the Before-Medicine, even a C-level Transcendent can achieve significant temporary enhancements."

At this point, he couldn’t help but clap his hands in praise, "The person who researched this potion is absolutely a genius. The Before-Medicine and After-Medicine, taken separately or combined, have completely different effects, and they combine organically. Truly a genius!"

Then he paused briefly, his gaze sweeping over the gummy bears, "However, we don’t quite understand why the After-Medicine is designed to be in the form of bear-shaped gummies, and why the shape is detailed in the formula.

"If it weren’t for the fact that one of the Research Institute’s subsidiaries happens to be a gummy factory, from which we borrowed equipment and adjusted for shape, we wouldn’t have been able to replicate these gummies so perfectly."

He looked at ’Hao Yi’ with some puzzlement and asked, "Does this specific shape of the gummies serve some kind of special ’ceremonial effect’?"

Upon hearing this question, He Ao was slightly taken aback, looking down at the bear-shaped gummies in the bowl and replied calmly, "Perhaps there is, or perhaps not, but it’s best not to alter the shape of these gummies."

"Alright."

The elderly man nodded slightly. He opened his mouth to continue the introduction, but then he noticed ’Hao Yi’ pulling the stopper from the test tube and pouring the milky white liquid into his mouth.

"Mr. Hao Yi!"

He stretched out his hand quickly, trying to stop ’Hao Yi’.

But by then, the milky white liquid had already completely entered ’Hao Yi’s mouth.

"It’s this taste,"

He Ao smacked his lips, turning towards the stunned elderly man, and after sensing the energy flow within his body, said, "But the efficacy is almost there. Could it be due to those substitute medicines? Maybe trying other medicines for testing could help?"

He pondered, casually picking up a bear-shaped gummy from the bowl and popping it into his mouth.

After a simple chew, he gave a slight nod, "This flavor is right, the effect is the same, hmm? Even slightly stronger?"

He turned his head towards the elderly man, "Did you use substitute materials for these bear-shaped gummies as well? May I have a look?"

"Of course! Of course!"

The elderly man was still in a daze and hadn’t fully recovered his composure. He fumbled out a tablet from the corner of the room and handed it to He Ao, "This lists all the materials we used for producing the gummies, as well as the entire process."

"Good, thank you."

He Ao took the tablet and began to scrutinize the contents, memorizing the photos of the ingredients.

At this moment, the elderly man finally began to gather his wits and immediately called over an assistant, "Did you record what ’Hao Yi’ just said?"

"Ah?"

The assistant was surprised.

"Write it down quickly!"

The elderly man couldn’t help but thump the assistant on the head, "Such high-ranking Transcendents are elusive, impossible to find, let alone to help us with testing and analyzing the properties of medicines. The reports we’ve compiled so far might not contain as much key information as a single sentence from him."

Catching his breath, he urged, "Write it all down, every word."

"Oh..."

The assistant was still a bit dizzy, but it did not prevent him from taking out a recording pen and notebook from his pocket.

He Ao heard the conversation between the two, but did not pay attention to it and continued to memorize the materials.

To be precise, he had deliberately mentioned his feelings so that the nearby researchers could hear him.

The medication formula provided by Lin Na may not be the most effective one. The Research Institute boasts the largest and most excellent Transcendent research team in the Main World, which could help in perfecting this drug.

——

That towering High Tower pierced straight into the clouds.

Ruilin withdrew her gaze from the High Tower and glanced at the pocket watch in her hand, she then looked up at the people in front of her and said in a low voice, "The time has come; it seems that no one else will be coming."

"Shall we begin now?"

Elfia, standing amidst the crowd, spoke softly.

Her gaze swept over the people standing here.

Among them, she only recognized ’Lin Chichi’ and ’Ruilin’.

She knew Ruilin only through Lin Chichi and had seen Ruilin’s information.

And the rest of the people, two-thirds came from the Research Institute, and one-third from the World Tree and Moonlight.

Those who were going into the relics, as long as they could see the High Tower, had all converged here.

Before entering the ruins, they had received orders to ’cooperate’ with this operation.

’Ruilin’ from the City of Rong Guang was the primary person in charge of this operation. If Ruilin was not present near the High Tower, the responsibility would fall to Lin Chichi, and if Lin Chichi was not there, then it would be Elfia, and so on.

An Ming was also in this sequence originally, but it seemed that he had been tossed to another place and was not near the High Tower. He wasn’t seen around either.

"How many people are holding ritual items?"

Ruilin looked up at the crowd.

"I have one."

"Here!"

"Over here!"

...

In an instant, four or five hands were raised.

"Good,"

Ruilin nodded her head, "As long as we have three ritual items, we can succeed. We have enough people."

Then she raised her head and looked towards the front of her field of view.

A landscape with wild grass growing, large trees traversing, and collapsed buildings came into her view.

"According to the information provided by Director Li, the entrance to the Underground Research Facility should be behind a collapsed wall on the west side."

Next to her, Lin Chichi glanced at the structures and quickly said, "He mentioned that there is a mutated tree next to that wall, about a meter tall, with snow-white leaves at the top."

Following her words, everyone looked toward the west.

A tree with a crown like white snow, towering into the clouds, entered everyone’s sight.

From the distance where everyone stood, one had to tilt their head at an angle to see the crown of the tree.

"Is this a small tree?"

A light sigh rose from the crowd.

"Director Li’s last visit was more than a decade ago in the Main World."

Elfia continued, "The recent slowing down of time in the ruins is a recent event. According to the earlier ratio of one to twelve from the information, it would be nearly two hundred years ago in the ruins."

"Yeah,"

That must be the place, Ruilin straightened up, grasping the bronze sword, "Let’s go over there; that tree might have also undergone some sort of mutation, watch out on the way."

As they spoke, the group had already set out at a brisk pace, quickly arriving beneath the towering giant tree.

The collapsed wall that Li Cheng had mentioned had completely turned into rubble, revealing an entrance leading underground, with a moss-covered staircase appearing in front of everyone.

Ruilin did not approach the entrance of the cave immediately but squatted beside a tree, picking up a piece of metal that was already covered with rust.

That seemed to be the damaged case of a pocket watch, engraved with indistinct Central Earth characters.

"Has an ’Explorer’ been here before?"

Elfia looked at the pocket watch case.

"But he couldn’t bring any information out."

Ruilin threw the pocket watch case back to its original place and looked up at the dark entrance of the cave ahead.

In the barely visible darkness, she felt as if something was mysteriously attracting her from inside.

A rustling sound arose above their heads.

But at this moment, the people no longer had the time to pay attention to these sounds, their gazes were fixed on the entrance of the cave, as if the most tempting of items lay within.

"Be careful!"

It was then that Ruilin raised her head and yelled loudly.

Above their heads, the once lofty and heavy canopy, those densely packed branches, had at some unknown time turned into soft, long snakes, dangling from the canopy, slithering towards them.

Even though they had been on alert previously, under the influence of the powerful Extraordinary Power, no vigilance was effective.

"Give me the ritual items."

Ruilin immediately shouted, "Cover me!"

To the side, Lin Chichi’s chest badge flashed a glimmer of light, she directly opened her Sword Box on her back, pulled out the glowing Knight’s sword, and without hesitation charged at those serpent-like branches.

A group of people quickly formed a circle, surrounding Ruilin in the center.

At the same time, item after item was thrown out from the crowd, landing in front of Ruilin.

Most of these items exuded a faint glow.

Among them were glowing finger bones, jade-like eyeballs, and fragmented pieces of broken jade staff...

All these things were shrouded in a hazy light, a certain intangible sense of sanctity spread over them.

That was the power of the City of Rong Guang.

Ruilin quickly used these items to arrange them into a simple ’K’ shape.

At the same time, the crowd around her was engaged in a tug-of-war with those serpent-like branches.

Several times those branches broke through the defenses and attacked Ruilin, only to be repelled by Ruilin and Lin Chichi’s backup.

Every part of the defensive circle was breached except for the southern side maintained by Lin Chichi.

In the end, a blood-soaked Ruilin stood at the center of the formation, sliced open her palm with a bronze sword, and then smeared it with her own blood.

"Ah!"

At this moment, the defense to the north was breached by the serpent-like branches, and one of them, its tail entwined on the canopy, opened its huge mouth without hesitation and swung towards Ruilin.

Ruilin didn’t hesitate to thrust her bronze sword into the pattern at her feet.

A dazzling light suddenly burst forth from the bronze sword in her hand, followed by an invisible force that transcended space and time, establishing a connection right where she stood.

A rich glow converged to form a hazy figure of light.

And in the instant that this figure appeared, the serpent-like branches that had been coming from all directions seemed to sense something, paused, and then abruptly vanished.

The sunlight’s breeze fluttered the leaves, making a rustling sound, as the fine branches supported the lush canopy.

Under the towering tree, only silence remained.

All the terror from just moments ago seemed as if it had never happened.

Even the tree itself appeared to have grown a few meters taller, with its canopy even further from the ground.

In the midst of everyone’s puzzled and bewildered expressions, the figure formed of light nodded gently at Ruilin and then turned to the deep cave entrance, stepping inside.

By the time the crowd snapped out of it, all that was left on the ground was the dimming Array.

Ruilin, catching her breath, looked at the people and said,

"Ladies and gentlemen, our mission is accomplished."
