Chapter 129 EX-level evaluation and regeneration authority
Li Cheng seemed to have had a very long dream.

In his dream, he drew a large ritual formation that encompassed the entire surface of the abyss, and then carried out the land refining.

The supreme power enabled him to achieve extraordinary things, and he was able to enter the temple in the abyss and see the woman sleeping in the coffin.

The woman was wearing a veil and her face could not be seen clearly.

This seemed to be a plot he had never seen before...

Just when he wanted to take a look at the woman's appearance, a mocking chuckle sounded in his ears.

For some reason, when he heard that voice, Li Cheng imagined the image of a female ghost or little loli in his mind.

"Hehe, you are the chosen one of the Goddess of Pain. It's not enough that you sacrificed a city to me, but you want to sacrifice the entire abyss?"

"You're just a small fry, but you're still pretty courageous. However, considering that you helped me seal that little bitch, the Witch of Regeneration, I won't bother with you~"

"Please accept my mark. The reward I give you is not something that Hongyue and Huiling, two little bitches, can afford~"

"I am rich~Wake up with respect for me~"

"Trash~Trash~"

When Li Cheng regained consciousness, he had already entered the door of the World Tree.

Covering his forehead and frowning, he realized what had just happened.

[What you did in the City of Deception has attracted the attention of the Mother Goddess of Deception, and she has bestowed upon you the Badge of Deception.]

"You've stamped my seal again, haven't you? These mother goddesses of the abyss are really more despicable than the other. I might as well just call them sows."

Li Cheng shook his head, the voice in his ears continued.

[What you did in the City of Fraud has won the attention of the Mother Goddess of Fraud. Your emblem of fraud has been transformed into the God-favored Fate - Son of Fraud.]

"The name Son of Fraud is too ugly, and it sounds like an undercover agent, no different from a suicide truck. Let's change it."

[The Fraudulent Mother Goddess thinks that you, a small fry, have no idea of ​​what high-level aesthetics is, and she is very angry.]

"Then take the fate away, and take the emblem as well."

[The Fraud Mother Goddess thinks you are right. This title is too vulgar. She is willing to seek your opinion.]

"..." Li Cheng's mouth twitched, he felt more and more that this fraudulent mother goddess was a female ghost.

"Let me think about it. My God-favored destiny was obtained because of the power of regeneration." He clenched his fists: "And this power of regeneration represents not only strength, but also a curse. So my God-favored destiny should be called a curse."

[The Fraudulent Mother Goddess listened to your thoughts and was greatly shocked.]

[She thinks your naming skills are as useless as your ability. You are the type that will freak out after being bitten twice.]

[But your idea of ​​using "curse" to cover up "fraud" is actually a genuine fraud by God. 】

[She has bestowed upon you a divine destiny: the cursed angel]

[Cursed Angel:
[When you activate this divine favor fate, all the effects you receive will be reversed, BUFF becomes DEBUFF, DEBUFF becomes BUFF, lasting for 15 minutes, and can only be used once a day. ]

"This ability... is a bit abstract."

Li Cheng raised his eyebrows.

This little female ghost deceived the Mother Goddess and gave him an interesting toy, but he didn't know to what extent this reversal of cause and effect could be achieved.

If I use this ability when I want to surpass the dragon girl below, will she surpass me?

“We still need to do some experiments.”

Stretching, Li Cheng looked around.

This is inside the gate of the World Tree.

It is the gap between the ordinary world and history, and a resting place for explorers.

This is Li Cheng’s first time coming to this space.

For some reason, Lilith, who had always been chirping beside him, was gone.

Golden light waves meandered in the air like ocean waves, and golden particles like stars were suspended on the ceiling of this space.

"Rather than calling it a world tree, it's better to call it a golden tree."

"If you prefer the name Golden Tree, you can call me that. After all, the name is not important."

An old voice sounded, and the golden light condensed into the appearance of a white-haired old man. He smiled kindly at Li Cheng: "As you can see, I am the World Tree, the one who settles the accounts and blesses you."

"Is that so?" Li Cheng thought for a moment and asked, "What about appearance? Is appearance important?"

"Of course it's not important." The old man spread his hands.

"Oh?" Li Cheng was excited, showing a warm and sunny smile: "In that case, please turn yourself into a blonde mixed-blood 36G long-legged beauty, and put on tights and long boots, and then we can communicate."

Old man: "..."

"Ahem." He coughed twice and decided to change the subject: "Li Cheng, right? You have accomplished an unprecedented feat, and I—"

"Why don't you change?" Li Cheng wondered.

The old man ignored him and continued, "I must congratulate you. You will receive my highest respect—"

"Don't you want to become a woman?" Li Cheng continued to wonder.

"Before you, I have never imagined that anyone could pass through the City of Fraud in this way. You are indeed—"

"He said he doesn't care about his appearance, but he doesn't even want to change as a woman." Li Cheng was still confused.

"I've been putting up with you for so long!" The old man couldn't hold it in any longer and took a long breath: "Don't interrupt me!"

"The defense is broken, hehe~" Li Cheng laughed.

"I fucking..." The old man clenched his fists: "Do you believe me..."

"Who are you anyway?" Li Cheng suddenly asked.

"Of course I belong to the World Tree..." The old man stopped talking suddenly, and his eyes gradually returned to kindness: "Haha, little guy, are you testing me?"

"I didn't..." Li Cheng also restrained his smile.

As expected, those who can stay in this kind of space are all smart people, and it is not so easy to test out information.

The favorite thing of the birth producer of the game "Destiny Rising" is the identity error.

What you think is a "good brother" may be the murderer of your wife. What you think is "marriage" may be killing your lover with your own hands. Similarly, what you think is a "world tree" may not really be a world tree.

The World Tree in the PC version is not modeled and cannot speak. It is just a tree-shaped NPC that players use to exchange props.

Li Cheng would not believe everything the old man who suddenly appeared in this space said.

Li Cheng is so cautious and steady.

"I didn't expect that after all these long years, I was almost fooled by you. Little guy, oh no, little Chusheng, you are really smart." The old man clapped his hands:

"In my opinion, there are two types of people who can explore through the World Tree Gate. The first type is a lucky mediocre person, and the second type is a smart fool. Everyone is looking for miracles in the World Tree, but if miracles can appear casually, can they still be called miracles?"

"Do you want to say that I am the second type of person?" Li Cheng smiled.

"No, you are the third type." The old man approached him, his golden eyes seemed to be able to see through his soul: "You disguise yourself as a smart fool, but in fact, you are different from them."

"Everyone is looking for a way forward within the rules, but you are the only one who chose to break the rules from the very beginning."

"I'm looking forward to your next performance."

"Thank you. I'm looking forward to it too." Li Cheng put his hands behind his back. His palms were more sweaty than usual. "You haven't told me who you are yet."

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I can now bless you on behalf of the World Tree." The old man smiled and said, "Then, let's settle the matter in the end."

[Main Mission 1: Survive in the City of Fraud for seven days and obtain a higher-level position card.]

[You have obtained the position cards Chief Speaker (EX grade) and Half-Demon Traitor (EX grade). ]

[Your final evaluation is: EX level. ]

[Additional Mission 1: Find the master of the City of Fraud, witness or rewrite your own destiny.]

[You became the master of the City of Fraud and rewrote your own fate of death. ]

[Your final evaluation is: EX level. ]

[Exclusive Mission 2: Find Vivian, witness or rewrite her fate. ]

[You not only found Vivian, but also took the heart of the half-demon girl. For the next ten thousand years, the girl walked alone on this land in order to find her heart.]

[But unfortunately, you still missed a step and failed to change her final fate. ]

【Your final rating is: SSS level. 】

"It didn't change her final fate? What do you mean?"

Li Cheng frowned. Could it be that there was some place in this secret realm that he had overlooked?
Or does it mean that Vivian must also be refined in order for this mission to reach EX level?
He thought about it and decided to give it a try in the next round.

[Hidden Mission: Destined Death: You figured out the Regeneration Witch's plan in advance, but it also brought disaster upon yourself. You need to survive the Regeneration Witch's pursuit until the end of the exploration time.] [Not only did you survive until the end of the exploration time, you also snatched away the vast life force that the Regeneration Witch prepared for you, and exiled her to the bottom of the abyss.]

[Most importantly, you changed the witches' perception. From this moment on, a rumor called "Never kiss a male witch, otherwise you will have a child" spread widely in the witch circle.]

[Your final evaluation is: Incredible! ]

[Combining all your mission performance, you get the final evaluation: EX level (perfect clearance)]

[You have triggered the God-favored Fate: The Freezer of History]

[In the spring of 1345, an unknown man came to the city of fraud. At first, it was just a magic dog, a town hall, and an equal rights movement... until all of this became closely related to everyone. ]

[The curtain of the Fraud Goddess covered the sky, the eyes of the Witch of Rebirth stared at all living beings, and the undercurrent of the Witch of Death surged... The seemingly peaceful City of Fraud has long become a playground for demigods. 】

【And all this has changed because of your arrival. 】

[This city is liberated because of your arrival; innocent souls are on the dining table because of your arrival. ]

[You are the infinite terror, you are the gluttonous predator...

[You are unknown, you are Li Cheng, you are the freeze framer of history. ]

[You write legends for all living beings, and they whisper poems for you.]

[From now on, the history of the year 1345 of the Third Era is frozen, and the gate of the World Tree at this point in time will no longer be open to anyone.]

[Fate Effect: When you explore the gate of the World Tree next time, you will receive a certain amount of favor.]

"How do you feel, little one?" The old man smiled and said, "Does it satisfy you to anchor a piece of history with your own hands?"

"Haha, I think I haven't had enough fun yet." Li Cheng also smiled: "Please give me the blessing and reward I deserve."

Are you kidding? This is a test version of the game. There is no achievement or trophy system at all. How can these empty titles be as meaningful as props and abilities?

It's obviously the supreme honor, but his heart doesn't waver at all. This kid's character is more terrifying than I thought... The old man smiled and said, "Okay, let's continue. Tell me, what kind of blessing do you want? The EX level evaluation is enough for you to make a request to me."

“I hope to gain the ability to give others the concept of ‘face’.”

"Oh? That's interesting." The old man thought for a moment and said, "Well, I think this kind of dragon language magic can help you do this."

[Dragon Magic: The Language of Harmony of All Things (Epic)]

[At the cost of magic power, you can form a face on all living beings. You can choose to share the vision of this face. The duration depends on the magic power you pay. ]

This is it!

The corners of Li Cheng's mouth curled up slightly.

This is his main purpose for entering this secret realm.

This ability is jokingly called "Voldemort's Face" by players. In the original process, it is actually a toy.

But now it is different, with this ability, coupled with his compassionate evil smile, his crooked-mouthed magic god style has been completely formed, no matter what kind of enemy it is, he will force them to be slapped in the face.

Coupled with the new abilities that Master Tata continues to develop, this evil school will become increasingly powerful.

"Are you sure you want this dragon language magic?" The old man said, "Well, you have a rare pure dragon bloodline. I think some more powerful dragon language magic should be more suitable for you. Your clearance rating is also enough for you to obtain such a blessing."

"No, compared to powerful abilities, I hope to get abilities that suit me."

"In that case, then fine." The old man nodded, and the golden light of the World Tree flowed in his palm, gradually transforming into a scroll: "But your EX-level rating cannot be ignored. Let me help you strengthen it."

[Dragon Language Magic: The Language of Fate of All Things (Legend):]

[At the cost of magic power, you can form a face on everything. You can share the vision of this face and communicate with it. The duration depends on the magic power you pay. ]

Li Cheng took the scroll and was delighted.

Don't underestimate this simple upgrade. What was originally only used to give the concept of face to life has now been expanded to cover everything. Li Cheng can already imagine dozens of different evil operating methods.

This was a pleasant surprise far beyond his imagination.

"I hope you can make good use of this ability." The old man stroked his beard and said, "Then next is the last item, regeneration magic power. Let me see how much you have. Wow, 90 points..."

"If I didn't know where you got all these regeneration points from, I would have really thought you were a tyrant who slaughtered all living beings...hiss, it seems that there is no difference."

"I granted them liberation." Li Cheng corrected: "Although they lost their lives, they gained death!"

"..." The old man thought for a long time before he understood what Li Cheng meant by this nonsense. He chuckled and said, "Okay, take this. From now on, the source of the regeneration witch is yours."

[Your Regeneration Witch Essence merges with the Regeneration Magic Power, and you gain the authority to regenerate. ]

[Each authority will be expressed in different forms according to the desires of different people.]

[Your previous authority holder, the Rebirth Witch, craves for infinite life, so she gained the ability to absorb the eyes of life. ]

[But your desire is different from hers, you have gained the ability to regenerate and recall. ]

[Effect 1: When you are fatally wounded, you can choose to say to yourself "Sorry, I haven't had enough fun yet", and pay different amounts of regeneration power to revive on the spot. ]

[Effect 2: When you are fatally wounded, you can say "Sorry, let's play another round" to the person who killed you. After paying different amounts of regeneration magic, you can choose to go back to the saved time.]

[The time of archiving is up to you, but it cannot exceed 12 hours after the death.]

[The more times you rewind your death, the more regeneration power you consume. ]

[Each authority is unique and can only be seen by the holder of the authority. ]

Seeing the introduction of the power of regeneration, even Li Cheng, who was usually calm and composed, couldn't help but tremble.

The authority can actually produce different abilities depending on the person... Are you the Mangekyō Sharingan?

Moreover, the first ability of this regeneration rewind is not much to say, it is the enhancement of the use of regeneration power, and the second ability... BUG, ​​this is definitely a BUG-level ability.

Going back 12 hours, he could have used this ability to do all kinds of fancy things.

"It seems that you are very satisfied with this ability, little birth." The old man smiled and said, "But that's right. After all, the power of authority is a unique ability of witches. In the same timeline, only nine people can possess it."

"Well, seriously, you're the only non-witch creature with the power of authority, huh? Why are you looking at me like that?"

As the old man was speaking, he suddenly realized that Li Cheng was looking straight at him.

Li Cheng: "Haha, I think you have a way to die!"

Old man:? ? ?

The next second, Li Cheng moved.

The dragon language magic [The Words of Fate of All Things] is activated!
The old man felt a chill on his buttocks, and his mind trembled, and he realized what Li Cheng had done: "You Chusheng Dongxi, you put your face on my buttocks?"

Li Cheng: "Haha, let me ask you, what is one plus one?"

"2!" A muffled voice came from behind the old man's butt.

Because of the combination of the butt and the face, the sound was more like a fart than words.

And there is a bad smell.

"2? What's 2? You're an idiot! Damn it!" The old man was completely defeated: "Take back this ability!"

"You wish." Li Cheng narrowed his eyes. Not only did he use the method of "whoever you glare at will get angry", he also used the method of "whoever you glare at will get pregnant with twins".

It seems that this old guy is indeed not an ordinary creature, and he has no concept of childbirth.

"Then, explode."

Li Cheng's eyes focused, and [Tata Magic: If you look for one more moment, it will explode] was activated!
"You are a heaven-defying Chu Sheng Dong Xi!"

Before the old man could even finish his words, he felt the power of the stars gathering in his body.

The next moment, his head and butt exploded at the same time.

Fires flew everywhere, and even the space of the World Tree was shaking.

Li Cheng's 5 magic badge stones were all taken away at once.

[You have caused damage to the incarnation of the World Tree, Abostek.]

[Your demigod power has disappeared. The gap in strength between you and him is too great. Warning, warning.]

"It's actually the incarnation of the World Tree, not a liar..." Li Cheng frowned: "Besides, it can't be killed for the time being, and no gold coins can be dropped."

The old man's angry voice came out from the smoke:
"Chu Sheng Dong Xi, I have tolerated you for a long time! Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you are the freezer of history."

Golden light flew towards his torso, swirling around his head and butt, condensing into a new face.

"Sorry." Li Cheng looked at him apologetically, and an invisible cyclone formed in his palm: "Let's play another round."

This time, he didn't smile warmly.

The invisible cyclone cut off his neck.

All sounds are silent.
