Chapter 6: Chaotic Evil (Not Cooperable, Not Trustworthy, Do Not Approach Within Perception Range Easily, Extremely Dangerous, Extremely Cruel, Extremely Cunning).
【"Kill/Rescue" Evaluation of Allied Contractors in Progress...】
【Evaluation Complete, Current Good-Evil Alignment: Evil.】
……
Seeing this, Su Xiao frowned slightly. He hadn't really killed many allied contractors, it seemed. But then again, it was probably only in the higher ranks that he stopped killing allied contractors. Or rather, as long as they didn't provoke him, he pretended not to see them. As for the early and mid stages, let's not mention that.
In fact, anyone who had obtained the [Team Slayer] title would be evaluated as Evil in the first round, and they wouldn't be wronged at all.
【"Kill/Rescue" Evaluation of the World's Natives Entered in Progress...】
【Evaluation Complete, Current Good-Evil Alignment: Chaotic Evil.】
……
Mm, very good. The second round of evaluation for "Good-Evil Alignment" had hit rock bottom. This also meant it was stable, and subsequent evaluations could be ignored.
【"Kill/Rescue" Evaluation of All Intelligent Lifeforms in Progress...】
【Evaluation Complete, Current Good-Evil Alignment: Chaotic Evil.】
……
Su Xiao suddenly realized he had underestimated the situation. Just now, the font for "Chaotic Evil" was blood red; now it was deep red.
Speaking of which, the fonts for the six "Good-Evil Alignments" all had different colors. Good was a beautiful multicolor, Friendly was gold, Neutral was blue, Chaotic was gray, Evil was dark gray, and Chaotic Evil was blood red.

【Evaluation Complete, Current Good-Evil Alignment: Chaotic Evil.】
……
Su Xiao's "Good-Evil Alignment" font had successfully turned dark red.

【A seventh sequence for your "Good-Evil Alignment" is about to be established: Extreme Dark Evil.】
【Your final "Good-Evil Alignment" is: Extreme Dark Evil!】
……
Given Su Xiao's Void Tree Reputation, this situation was within reason but unexpected. He tried to enter the World Contact Platform. Although successful, he immediately saw an announcement appear in the contact platform.
【World Contact Platform has been opened for you.】
【Announcement (Void Tree · World Contact Platform): The Hunter · Kukulin Bai Ye, whose "Good-Evil Alignment" is "Extreme Dark Evil," has entered this world's World Contact Platform. Be cautious when trading, cooperating, or conversing with him.】
After this announcement appeared in the World Contact Platform, the atmosphere, which had been buzzing with discussion about Soul Master taking the top spot with 3.57 million Sanctuary City reputation, suddenly fell silent. After a moment, someone broke the silence.
Siluo'er (Sanctuary Paradise): "Holy crap, this guy is also a heavyweight."
Shi Zhu (Apocalypse Paradise): "Brothers, can you guys stop messing around? I just came here to take a risk and mine some ore. This world hasn't been dared to be mined for many years. I thought, as a veteran Supreme-tier miner, I should be considered a tough guy (only mining, not causing trouble counts as tough). But with you guys doing this, I'm starting to panic."
Aoluola (Holy Light Paradise): "Big brother upstairs~, need protection? I can not only protect you, but also do some things we both enjoy and like together. As for the protection fee, it's 40% of your mining profits this time."
Siluo'er (Sanctuary Paradise): "Mining bro, don't trust her. Her abilities are disease and life systems."
Shi Zhu (Apocalypse Paradise): "Mm, the sister from Sanctuary Paradise upstairs is right. Disease abilities are indeed malicious."
Siluo'er (Sanctuary Paradise): "No, what I meant was malicious is actually her life system ability."
Shi Zhu (Apocalypse Paradise): "This~, turning enemies into big meatballs? I feel that's at most cruel, not malicious."
Siluo'er (Sanctuary Paradise): "No, no, no. This woman's ability is the most malicious I have ever seen! Bar none. She once used her life system ability to make the enemy's rectal end grow taste buds!"
Shi Zhu (Apocalypse Paradise): "Holy shit! What a malicious ability!!"
Bee: w(Д)w
Xilin (Apocalypse Paradise): "Indeed very malicious."
Hao Tao (Reincarnation Paradise): "Hahaha, what a shameless ability."
Shi Zhu (Apocalypse Paradise): "Brother Hao Tao, I remember yesterday, Shenfu and Aoluola discussed and reached a cooperation here. You seem to be hostile to Shenfu, meaning you might end up facing Aoluola. That is, your rectal end might also..."
Hao Tao (Reincarnation Paradise): "Damn."
Bee: ╰(*°▽°*)╯
Fire Mage (Holy Light Paradise): "This little cutie above, why can they post emojis? So cute, come here, let big sister hug."
Bee: (`)
Siluo'er (Sanctuary Paradise): "Fire Mage, don't tease Bee. You might die because of this."
Fire Mage (Holy Light Paradise): "Reason?"
Siluo'er (Death Paradise): "Shenfu will protect Bee. If I'm not mistaken, Bai Ye of Reincarnation Paradise won't let this little one die either. She is very important. She currently has a dual imprint belonging, belonging to both a contractor of Dawn Paradise and a contractor of Reincarnation Paradise. Haven't you noticed her name suffix doesn't have any paradise information?"
Hei Mo (Dawn Paradise): "Sorry, in, the Dawn Ruins, I lost. This time, temporarily, I won't, forget you, my, friend."
Shi Zhu (Apocalypse Paradise): "Hei Mo actually has friends? By the way, Hei Mo is a newly promoted New Supreme, right?"
Mo En (Death Paradise): "Wait until this world's progress ends, it might become a Veteran Supreme. This is a world invaded by the Abyss, Hei Mo's absolute home ground. Once it develops to the point of being able to devour 'Abyss Spawn,' it will truly rise and step into the 'Monster Level.'"
Shi Zhu (Apocalypse Paradise): "Thanks for the popular science, Big Brother Mo En. Do you have time? Want to partner up to mine some ore? I've recently scouted a promising area, but it's shrouded in darkness. Going alone is too risky. How about we team up?"
Mo En (Death Paradise): "Busy lately. Can we do it in a week?"
Shi Zhu (Apocalypse Paradise): "Alright, fifty-fifty split then?"
Mo En (Death Paradise): "No, you're putting in more effort. I'm only providing protection. Thirty-seventy is fine."
Shi Zhu (Apocalypse Paradise): "Okay! But if there are any rare ores this time that you need, I can give them to you at the original production price, including processing, refining, up to the finished product."
Mo En (Death Paradise): "Thank you."
Bee: (＠_＠;)
Shi Zhu (Apocalypse Paradise): "Bee, want to come along? Although you have no combat power, your two backers are both ridiculously strong."
Bee: ()
……
Seeing these conversations, Su Xiao was quite surprised. He checked Mo En's "Good-Evil Alignment" and actually saw Good, which surprised him greatly.
However, the "Good-Evil Alignment" certified by the Void Tree made Su Xiao realize a problem. This indirectly verified that the Supreme-tier powerhouses of the Paradise factions were starting to become somewhat important to the Void Tree. At the very least, it would use the certification system and, without interfering with the contractor's own choices and personal will, prevent Supreme-tier deaths from occurring in conflicts between contractors.
In layman's terms, within the World Contact Platform, the danger level of all contractors is more clearly marked. For example, in Su Xiao's current situation, even the font he uses to speak is pitch black with a black mist special effect.
Checking the "Good-Evil Alignments" of Shenfu and Soul Master, both were "Chaotic Evil." Su Xiao suddenly became curious. If Kaisa entered the World Contact Platform, what would his "Good-Evil Alignment" be? "Greedy Neutral"?
He tried to open the Supreme-tier World Contact Platform. The functions it possessed, "Item Trading, Consignment, Intelligence Consignment/Trading," appeared before him like a lineup store list. However, each item was marked with a price. Some were marked in Soul Coins, and some were simply marked in Space-Time Power.
After examining a few items, a skill scroll immediately caught his attention. It was a "Supreme-tier · Passive."
[Supreme · Stamina.X]
Hint: This corresponds to the "Stamina Attribute" "Supreme Passive." It starts at an absolute max level and cannot be enhanced by any means.
Quality: ★ (This type of Supreme Passive ranges from ★ to ★★★)
Skill Requirement: Promoted to Supreme-tier, one vacant "Supreme Passive · Skill Slot."
Skill Effect 1: Upon awakening after promotion to Supreme, unlock the potential power hidden within the Stamina Attribute, granting an additional 5000 points of "Base Health" per current point of Stamina, 3 points of Body Defense and its upper limit, 5 points of Body Strength and its upper limit, and 5 points of All Attribute Anomaly Resistance and its upper limit.
Hint: This "Supreme Passive" can also be awakened through training with a "Specific Secret Method," but awakening through a "Specific Secret Method" training carries high risk.
……
This ridiculously strong "Supreme Passive" had a price that wasn't particularly ridiculous, at 1.5 million Soul Coins. However, it should be more expensive in the Great Gathering Place, reaching over 2 million.
Previously, Su Xiao had Beini inquire about "Supreme Passives" in the Great Gathering Place, but it was just a brief inquiry. At that time, he was accumulating "Supreme Potential Points." After successfully promoting to Supreme, he had even less money to buy them. He was in a situation where the bad ones couldn't be learned, and the good enough ones couldn't be afforded.
Encountering this [Supreme · Stamina] now, it was clearly an ordinary item among "Supreme Passives." But even this ordinary item had ridiculously high strength. Presumably, the Supreme Passives corresponding to Strength and Agility would derive powerful attack abilities.
Assuming promotion to Supreme with a minimum standard of 500 main attributes, after mastering this "Supreme Passive," which is the lowest quality ability corresponding to the Stamina Attribute, one would immediately gain 2.5 million Health, 1500 points of Body Defense, 1500 points of Body Strength, and 2000 points of All Attribute Anomaly Resistance.
The key point is that this is not a simple enhancement, but a massive growth boost to the Stamina Attribute's potential. In other words, this is the power one possesses upon promotion to Supreme, but it needs to be awakened.
Furthermore, this is the weakest Supreme, successfully mastering the most common Supreme Passive corresponding to body attributes within the Supreme tier.
And this weakest Supreme generally has 2 "Supreme Passive · Skill Slots." One is occupied by the mandatory passive "Supreme Being," and the other is vacant.
Obviously, this "Supreme Passive" corresponding to one's main attribute is the only choice for the weakest Supreme. With this ability, the weakest Supreme, when facing the Absolute Strong tier's strongest Su Xiao, well, it's certain... they couldn't beat the Su Xiao of the past. When he was in the Dawn Ruins and hadn't yet promoted to Supreme, he clearly had a certain misjudgment about the weakest Supreme.
The truth was, he had been hammered too many times by powerful enemies who had slipped from the Supreme tier to the Absolute Strong tier, such as the Old Beast King, the Ancestor, Wolf God · Xien, the Abyss Guard Captain, and Ximan · Aqide.
These guys were all former Supremes who later slipped to Absolute Strong. This gave Su Xiao, before his promotion to Supreme, the illusion that after promoting to Supreme, even if he barely made it, he would be in the same major echelon as these guys from the past. He was already so strong at Absolute Strong, almost unable to beat them, and some he simply couldn't beat in their Absolute Strong state. He thought that as long as he promoted to Supreme, he would definitely be an opponent that Absolute Strong couldn't face head-on.
But after actually promoting to Supreme, he found:
The Old Beast King was a former hidden "Ultra · Top-Tier Supreme," publicly claiming to be a peak "New Supreme," which killed quite a few Sea Clan Supreme assassins.
The Ancestor was a former "Ultra · Top-Tier Supreme" but nearly reached "Supreme Peak."
Wolf God · Xien had recently reached "Supreme Peak."
The Abyss Guard Captain had reached "Supreme Peak" and was quite advanced in this echelon.
Abyssal Shadow: Ximan · Aqide was also a ruthless person among ruthless people at the "Supreme Peak" level.
Being hammered by these guys in turn, who wouldn't feel that Supreme is especially invincible? In reality, Supreme does have an invincible echelon, but that's "Supreme Peak." Furthermore, in the Second Era, when Star Realm combat power was at its peak, during the blood war between the Law Destruction Faction and the Spellcasters, some whose potential limit was only "New Supreme" and barely managed to promote were even called "Pseudo-Supremes." However, with the change of eras, this term no longer exists.
Closing the sales list, Su Xiao confirmed that after his promotion to Supreme, he lacked a stage for a qualitative leap in combat power, which was mastering the "Supreme Passive" corresponding to his body attributes. The good news was that his previous 900 body attributes, plus among the three Technique Grandmasters, one reached Lv.91, and the other two broke through to Lv.95. It must be known that this required specific Source Matter to achieve.
A more intuitive way to put it is that Su Xiao's former Absolute Strong peak was simply because Absolute Strong peak was that strong. It wasn't his limit; it was the limit of the Absolute Strong peak.
And after reaching Lv.90 in Technique abilities, that's what a "Veteran Supreme" should do. As for obtaining the "Extreme Blade Source Matter" earlier, allowing his Blade Grandmaster to reach Lv.95 and master the Blade Supreme-tier · Active "Extreme Blade · Bai Ye," that was something a late-stage "Veteran Supreme" should do.
Not to mention, he had also absurdly brought his Melee Grandmaster to Lv.95 through the "Body Source Matter," which was clearly something a "Top-Tier Supreme" should do.
Furthermore, with an average of 650~700 points in body attributes upon promotion to Supreme, his body attributes after promotion increased to 1056 points for all four attributes. As a Triple Grandmaster with such body attributes, it was clearly very unreasonable.
And, which proper Absolute Strong had 8 million Health and mastered abilities like "Ultimate · Overlord Power," which grants +100 to all attributes, 20% damage reduction, and raises the level cap of all Technique abilities to Lv.110? This ability looked like something one should master only in the mid-to-high stages of Supreme.
These factors combined meant that Su Xiao, who hadn't yet mastered the "Supreme Passive" corresponding to his main attributes, could still fight against powerhouses who had already mastered such "Supreme Passives."
Of course, there was another reason. His long-term development path, where normal attacks are ultimate moves, is actually one of the three strongest paths after a Technique Grandmaster promotes to Supreme. If one doesn't consider the terrifying resource consumption of this development method, this is the strongest choice in the Technique path, bar none.
This is also why, since his promotion to Supreme, although he hadn't had much in the way of combat power enhancement, this battle against the Elf Old Slave was a complete crushing victory. Because at the Absolute Strong level, he had already done many powerful enhancements that only Supreme-tier would involve.
Previously, at the Absolute Strong level, his strength had been suppressed. Furthermore, during his promotion to Supreme, the explosive increase in various potentials caused the release of this accumulated strength from the Absolute Strong level to be somewhat slower. This battle against the Elf Old Slave allowed his pent-up power to be fully released.
The strength accumulated over time had finally begun to bloom in the Supreme stage.
The Lord's Train stopped before a towering dark wall. It had been circling the periphery of the Elf Kingdom for several hours but still hadn't seen the entrance to the dark wall. Now it seemed that the entire Elf Kingdom was shrouded within this pitch-black dark wall.
The reason for stopping here was that Su Xiao saw a circular mark on the pitch-black dark wall. This was definitely left by Bubu Wang. The key point wasn't the huge, eye-catching circular mark, but the puddle of urine at the base of the wall beneath the mark. Su Xiao didn't think anyone else in this world, besides Bubu Wang, could pee a wavy line over ten meters long.
This idiot must have been chased by some monster but had to pee urgently, so he just ran along the wall and took a leak.
Su Xiao looked at Hei Zhi, the meaning was obvious. The Iron-Blood Hound was also a canine with an amazing sense of smell. Helping to track Bubu Wang shouldn't be a problem.
The Elf Old Slave parasitized by Hei Zhi had a dark expression. He was about to flare up but then hesitated, finally speaking in a low voice: "Just this once."
From over ten meters away, Hei Zhi sniffed, then pointed to the west. The Lord's Train started and slowly moved in the direction Hei Zhi indicated.
Hei Zhi's tracking ability was unquestionable. Within a few minutes, there were traces of Bubu Wang's scent. But soon, Bubu Wang's scent disappeared.
"The scent, has, disappeared."
Hei Zhi was puzzled. He crouched down to check the ground for any remaining traces. Suddenly, a dog head appeared in front of him.
"Woof?"
Bubu Wang tilted his head, as if to say 'Hello there,' and then successfully made eye contact with Hei Zhi's Eye of Fear. What was worse was that the Eye of Fear had a certain degree of passive effect.
A few seconds later, Bubu Wang let out a miserable howl, turned around, and ran. But after a few steps, his legs gave way, and he started running with weak legs while drawing a map along the way.
Bubu Wang was afraid of ghosts. In that instant, his vision went black, followed by a falling sensation. He fell into a large pit dozens of meters in diameter with steep walls, filled with white-clad female ghosts. Imagine a steep pit with hundreds or thousands of Sadakos densely packed like maggots, crowded together, and then Bubu Wang falling in...
Half an hour later, Bubu Wang, holding a cup of taro bubble milk tea with his dog paws, was sobbing with a twitching nose. He was truly scared this time. He pressed tightly against Su Xiao's leg, his whole body trembling. It seemed Hei Zhi had helped him break his bad habit of suddenly appearing in front of others with his dog face too close.
Returning to the front of the pitch-black dark wall, after everyone got off, the Lord's Train faded into the alternate space. Su Xiao raised his hand and pressed it against the pitch-black dark wall in front of him. The next second, the pitch-black dark wall he touched crystallized. After expanding to a certain range, part of the blue crystal shattered with a bang, creating a passage leading inside.
"That direction."
Hei Zhi pointed south, indicating that the Abyss Second Son · Suosi was over there. After weighing the options, Su Xiao instructed Bubu Wang, Baha, Xilin, and the Pain Priest to wait nearby. He and Hei Zhi would infiltrate together.
Following the direction Hei Zhi indicated, the two traveled for less than an hour before seeing a group of buildings ahead. Entering them, a foul stench spread through the air. It was a smell of rot and fermentation, coming from those huge chimneys hundreds of meters thick and a kilometer high in the distance. It was the smell emitted by some kind of forging waste.
Walking along the street, there were quite a few elves. They were all dressed in shabby, dirty clothes. What was more abnormal was that as they walked, they were completely silent, had a strong sense of purpose, and exuded an inner fatigue.
A thud came from a skull hitting the street. It was an elf with withered, bent ears who had collapsed, his head hitting the ground.
After he fell, his aura rapidly weakened, and he soon died. Two minutes later, a huge horned beast iron cart stopped nearby. Two numb elves picked up the dead old man and threw him onto the iron cart. The passersby showed no emotional fluctuation; everything was numb and natural.
Su Xiao had been to many countries ruled by evil. Those places were rife with disease, poverty, crime, etc. But even so, one could still see traces of life and a small sense of happiness from trivial gains among the common people there.
But upon arriving here, Su Xiao only felt numbness, fatigue, and despair.
The parasitized Hei Zhi led the way. After passing the outermost residential area, factories began to come into view. These factories were all driven by giant steam machinery. The reason was that forging supernatural weapons wasn't the wonderful magic one might imagine; it required physical material grades and pressure.
To generate enormous physical pressure, terrifying energy consumption was necessary. Compared to electric drive, steam drive was cheaper. As for the danger, how could the Abyss Descendants care about the lives of the elves? Even if a "Steam Core" exploded, as long as it didn't affect the Elf Breeding Factory, it was a small matter.
Boom~!
A huge hammering sound came from a factory. The space around the factory where the loud noise originated even showed fine cracks. The elves inside that factory, who performed simple operations to drive the machinery, were instantly shock-blasted into a mist of blood. But immediately, a new batch of elves entered to proceed with the next round of raw material forging.
Su Xiao estimated that this Elf Kingdom might have several hundred million elves. This scale of intelligent life cluster, each filled with numbness and fatigue, and the despair suppressed by "Dark Corruption" just before the elves died.
In that instant, the despair of a lifetime erupted, even reaching a quantitative change. This caused the blood of the elves who died here to appear a dull grayish-white.
This made Su Xiao think, if a Dark God were here to devour negative emotions like numbness and fatigue, plus the intense despair that occasionally erupted, this would be an ideal nurturing ground for a Dark God.
Thinking of Dark Gods reminded Su Xiao of green chili peppers, and specifically the kind with an extremely intense spiciness. The reason was that stir-frying Dark God hearts with this kind of chili was really good with rice.
As Su Xiao walked, he casually grabbed a corner of a passing building, crushed it in his hand, and felt whether despair had seeped into it. Elsewhere, this would be nonsense, but in this Hell City ruled by the Abyss Descendants, despair would definitely have seeped into the semi-weathered buildings.
The result was that the powder falling from between Su Xiao's fingers had no despair aura wafting from it. This meant that some entity was absorbing the numbness, fatigue, and despair here.
Su Xiao really didn't believe that an old-school Abyss Descendant like Dukain would make such deals with Dark Gods. They cooperated with the Goblin Merchant Guild because the guild had a long enough history, being a top-tier force since the First Era. The Dukain Family had their pride and vision.
In the eyes of the Dukain Family, the Demon Race, Feather Race, and Devil Race were just upstarts. The truly old-school powerful forces were the Star Clan and the Soul Clan, even if both had declined, they still had their foundations.
As for Dark Gods and Deities, in the eyes of the Dukain Family, they were just chickens and dogs. If it weren't for the fact that the Gods had all vanished, Dark Gods and Deities would just be the watchdogs of the Gods.
As for Ancient Gods, the Dukain Family would give them enough respect. Of course, this was respect as equals, not reverence or the like.
Ultimately, the only ones the Dukain Family would look up to were the Law Destruction Faction and the Spellcasters, though they hated the former more.
Therefore, Su Xiao speculated that it was the Goblin Merchant Guild that mediated and facilitated the transaction between the Dukain Family and the Dark God forces.
Having roughly determined this, Su Xiao hoped it was a 'beast-type' Dark God. Tasting delicious food wasn't just about the taste of the food itself; its origin also mattered. For some humanoid or disgusting-looking Dark Gods, eating dishes cooked with their ingredients clearly wouldn't satisfy the conditions for enjoying food internally.
He would deal with the Dark God here later. Dealing with the Beast Master was more urgent. Su Xiao's plan for infiltrating the Elf Kingdom this time was simple and brutal. First, Hei Zhi parasitized the Elf Old Slave. This Elf Old Slave's status in the Elf Kingdom had reached the level of "Secondary Clan."
In the Elf Kingdom, there were a total of five status levels. The lowest level was "Corrupted Ones." These were elves affected by "Dark Corruption" but not yet fully corrupted. 99% of the elves in the city were "Corrupted Ones."
It wasn't that the "Dark Corruption" wasn't strong enough; it was that the average lifespan of these elves wasn't long enough to be corrupted to the second stage. The second stage of corruption was "Sunk Ones."
At this stage, they had passed the point of will suppression. Their will was completely subjugated by the darkness, becoming loyal servants of the Abyss Descendants.
However, this wasn't the final stage of "Dark Corruption." The final stage was "Secondary Clan." For example, the Elf Old Slave was a "Secondary Clan."
At this stage, one would be completely loyal and subservient to the Abyss Descendant who was the source of the "Dark Corruption." Moreover, these "Secondary Clans" had long lifespans and some dark abilities.
Su Xiao estimated that the Beast Master's Second Son, Suosi, must have many "Secondary Clans" around him. To kill him, one had to be able to get close enough to this Abyss Descendant.
Su Xiao thought of an excellent identity. Known intelligence indicated that the Dukain Family was using the Goblin Merchant Guild as a bridge to do business with Arcane Eternal Star. Su Xiao planned to disguise himself as a Spellcaster this time.
He signaled Hei Zhi, who was leading the way, to stop. The two entered a residential building. The door wasn't locked. As slaves, the elves here naturally had no personal property, so there was no need or condition to lock doors.
Su Xiao took out a robe and put it on. There were still a few of these in the team storage space. He had killed quite a few Spellcasters from Arcane Eternal Star.
A black iron mask appeared in Su Xiao's hand, and he put it on his face. This was very reasonable. A Spellcaster from Arcane Eternal Star coming here would be worried about being seen by outsiders, being seen having contact with Abyss Descendants.
All the forces in the Star Realm that were on the table were wary and guarded against Abyss Descendants. Using the darkness of the Abyss to devour worlds to strengthen oneself was something that was hated everywhere. The Abyss Descendants had done this a lot.
It was very simple for an Abyss Descendant to ruin a world. Just one Abyss Descendant descends, then begins "Dark Corruption" on the lifeforms in the area, making these lifeforms indiscriminately attack other lifeforms, accelerating the spread of "Dark Corruption." In no time, all the lifeforms in a world would be corrupted.
Next was even simpler. Gather these "Corrupted Ones," then make them cruelly tear at their own flesh and blood to release "Primordial Life Force" to a greater extent. In the end, this Abyss Descendant would get a world without lifeforms and a "Primordial Life Crystal Core" condensed from the lives of all the world's lifeforms. This is an Abyss Descendant.
The reason Abyss Descendants weren't universally reviled was their strength and immortality. Killed by a Law-Destroying Demon Blade, they would be reborn in the Abyss a few years later and return to the material world, making Abyss Descendants synonymous with fear and power in the Second Era.
Given the reputation of Abyss Descendants, a Spellcaster coming here and wearing a mask was an excellent choice.
Su Xiao walked out of the residential building. Hei Zhi was still leading the way. Regarding how to disguise the aura of a Spellcaster, Su Xiao's 1426 points of Elemental Affinity meant that as long as he released his repulsion, all kinds of natural elements would actively gather towards him. This was almost the same aura as devouring natural elements.
Heading towards the city center, after arriving at the central teleportation platform, a sign read 12, indicating this was District 12. The Beast Master's Second Son, Suosi, was generally in District 1 or the Underground District.
Hei Zhi raised his hand and pressed it on the teleportation platform's controller, selecting the node coordinates for District 1. The next second, the teleportation started.
When the faint light of the teleportation dissipated, the foul smell in the air was gone. The numb elf workers on the streets were replaced by well-dressed elf civilians. The bottoms of their eyes were pitch black, and their soul auras had a dark feeling.
These elves weren't from the breeding factories; they were reproduced naturally. Their parents, or the generation before, had been corrupted into "Sunk Ones." So they were born as Sunk Elves, with loyalty to the Dukain Family inscribed in their bloodline.
The Dukain Family only had a little over a hundred members. The Beast Master's faction only had over a dozen members. With the number of elves in the Elf Kingdom, the Beast Master's lineage naturally couldn't manage them all, so they needed these Sunk Elves to assist in managing this kingdom and doing business with the outside world.
Faint sunlight shone down from above. Su Xiao looked up at the sky. This was the privilege the Abyss Descendants bestowed upon the Sunk Elves.
The streets were bustling with traffic. The number of Sunk Elves was conservatively estimated to be over a million, making the city seem very prosperous. Not only that, but there were also lucrative businesses run by the Goblin Merchant Guild, such as the "Eight-Star Star Realm Hotel" in the city center, which combined a casino and an entertainment city.
Moreover, this "Eight-Star Star Realm Hotel" was almost completely isolated from the outside District 1. One needed to use teleportation methods to enter and exit this place. This made gamblers from all over the Star Realm feel like they weren't on Abyss Descendant territory, and it also gave the Abyss Descendants a way to save face, saying that the goblin's business wasn't exactly on their turf.
This "Eight-Star Star Realm Casino," which used Soul Coins as chips, was raking in money hand over fist. According to the memories of the Elf Old Slave devoured by Hei Zhi, the Goblin Merchant Guild held 20% of this hotel, the Abyss Descendants held 40%, and Arcane Eternal Star held 40%.
Currently, the Beast Master's Second Son, Suosi, was at the top floor of this "Star Realm Casino," enjoying the joys, angers, sorrows, and happiness of gamblers from various major races in the Star Realm.
Hearing this, Su Xiao stopped. He took out a Soul Coin, flicked it with a *ding*, and before it could fall, it was caught by Kaisa, who had suddenly appeared, and immediately went into Kaisa's pocket.
"My dear friend, has the situation changed?"
As Kaisa spoke, he was already attracted by the towering casino in the city center. However, he was sure it was a building located in another space.
"Hei Zhi just devoured some new soul memories. This is the 'Star Realm Casino.'"
"Oh~?"
Kaisa's *oh* had an interesting tone. The faint yellow light in his eyes made his greed surge.
Su Xiao was also looking at the "Star Realm Casino," a faint red gleam in his eyes. Hei Zhi, who was leading the way, happened to glance at the two of them and suddenly felt a chill. Yes, as an Iron-Blood Hound, seeing the faint yellow light and the faint red gleam in these two's eyes made him feel a chill.
"My dear friend, Kaisa has a bold idea."
Kaisa said, a gradually lecherous and greedy smile on his face.
"I get sixty, you get forty."
Su Xiao stated his terms.
"Impossible, at most fifty-fifty. This is my bottom line."
Kaisa was exceptionally firm, but he was only this firm when bargaining.
"Hei Zhi also participated. He should get a ten percent share."
"Uh~, well, alright."
Kaisa chose to compromise. He understood that Su Xiao was violent and ruthless when killing enemies, and usually decisive in killing, but when cooperating, those who contributed should get their share of the reward.
As for what Su Xiao and Kaisa were conspiring to do, the answer was simple. After entering the "Star Realm Casino," Su Xiao would be responsible for killing the Beast Master's Second Son, Suosi. This would inevitably cause a commotion.
Meanwhile, Kaisa would go to the "Star Realm Casino's" vault and give it a lesson it would never forget, making it know what it felt like to have its body hollowed out.
