The so-called "Red Moon Fragment" is the kind of black stone with a red glow. Qi Ji has seen it many times so far: once during the sacrifice in Stio City, once during the ascension of Bona in Sunset Port, and a small piece in Sesima's hand. This thing contains a very high concentration of the divinity of "The First Authority: Ordinary World", which is equivalent to a special container that stores this divinity. Previously, she suspected that the "First Creator" was a deity from the "Moon" realm who was in a weak state, or a demigod who was trying to ascend to become the true god of the "Moon", so she needed to collect enough divinity from related fields. Now combined with the information provided by Sesima, this "First Creator" is just a false vest. His actual identity is the "Core of Rectification". His origin seems to have deep roots in the Moon Spirit Republic and the Eldar. After all, she had just said that the "Corrective Core" defected from the "Moon Spirit Empire", the predecessor of the Moon Spirit Republic, at least three thousand years ago, as early as the Fourth and Fifth Epochs. If we speculate reasonably, the "Core of Rectification" may have once belonged to the Eldar, but some unknown incident later caused it to betray the Eldar and flee to the human world, and has been planning something unknown. "Collect the 'Red Moon Fragment'?" Hearing Qi Ji's words, Cecima was slightly stunned at first, then nodded slightly without surprise: "No wonder... After all, the 'Rectification Core' is the product of the highest skill of the Eldar, and it has a powerful force equivalent to that of a legendary warrior. “On this basis, it is understandable that one wants to pursue a higher realm, to reach mythology, or even to ascend to become a true god.
"However, it is too wishful for a mere machine without even any consciousness to dare to lay claim to the throne of God." That’s a lot of information… Qi Ji paid close attention to every word Cecima said. She just revealed a very important piece of information from her seemingly casual analysis: The "Rectification Core" was most likely a man-made product! Strictly speaking, it is something created by the Eldar with a high degree of autonomy, similar to artificial intelligence? Artificial humans? Clones? Wetware computers? She couldn't understand why the "Purification Core", as an "AI", betrayed Him... or rather, its creator, the Eldar. It was okay, after all, the rebellion of intelligent machines against their masters was a classic plot that everyone loved to see. The key is that it actually wants to become a god! Why? What is its purpose? Is it impossible to achieve this purpose without becoming a god? Qi Ji was very curious. Although this matter didn't seem to have much to do with her, she still wanted to figure it out. To put it bluntly, it's just curiosity at work... There's no harm in knowing more anyway. "Very good, your information can fully repay the value of my help to you." Qi Ji nodded with a slightly approving voice. After receiving Qi Ji's approval, Cecima felt a little relieved. She relaxed her stern face and said: "Well, Mr. Yaoliuliu, now that this 'deal' has been completed, it is almost time for us to part ways." "Bye, if you have nothing else to say." Qi Ji asked casually, not caring much: "By the way, what are your plans next? To deal with that 'natural disaster'?" "Sir, the level of the 'natural disaster' is definitely not something that someone of my strength can handle." Cecima smiled bitterly, as if to say, "Stop teasing me." “Last year, I organized His coming in Moon Valley, but this time… due to various reasons, I was unable to make it, and those lunatics succeeded. "To remedy the situation, the only thing I can do is to participate in the post-disaster rescue work, or help contain the damage caused by the aura of the 'natural disaster'... Other than that, there is nothing else I can do." At this point, she sighed and let out a long breath, her expression sad:
"A natural disaster... This is a major change that can overturn the entire world. Only the world's forces can unite to fight it. "Under such circumstances, how can even a smelter or a demigod influence the situation? The great inertia of history cannot be shaken by an individual..." That's true. The good news is that you can witness the historical node, the bad news is that the historical node is rushing towards you! "...Hey, wait, you are the Demon Warrior of Moon Valley?!" Qi Ji didn't say this, because it was too embarrassing no matter what. But she was indeed briefly shocked for a moment. After all... what Cecima didn't know was that more than a month ago, he had used her identity to "do evil" in the city of Stio, and even let her "die on the battlefield"... I absolutely cannot let her know... otherwise it would be too bad... "Cough cough!" Qi Ji cleared his throat and turned around as if nothing had happened: "Then go and do your thing. I have my own things to do." "Goodbye, respected Lord Yaoliuliu." After saying goodbye, Cecima took off first. Sensing "Nancy" wrapped in dark red flames going away, Qi Ji shook his head imperceptibly: "She didn't tell me the whole truth..." For example, when Cecima introduced herself, she said that she was a "Moon Realm Metallurgist". But in fact, Qi Ji was able to detect that her spiritual fluctuations were very different from those of the Moon Smelter. It was unlikely that she was a mage from the "Moon" realm, and it was even possible that she was not a mage at all! But she couldn't possibly be a "saint" on the path of the clergy... In other words, Sesima is a legendary warrior of the fourth realm. That realm that only exists in fairy tales—— "God of the Underworld". Chapter 535: The Lair Having said that, it was not until today when he actually met Cecima that Qi Ji confirmed that the realm of "God of the Underworld" does exist and is not a rumor made up by some people. Although she had stayed with Nancy for a long time before, Cecima had not yet revealed her own power at that time and it was only hidden in Nancy's body. Therefore, at that time, Qi Ji only felt that the spiritual fluctuations of this unique spirit body residing in Nancy's body were somewhat special, and were not quite the same as those of the general fourth-level legendary strongmen. He could not guarantee that it was indeed a "God of the Underworld" warrior. Now that we have direct observational evidence, we can confirm it. "Ah... But after this trip, I have more problems." Qi Ji shrugged half jokingly and half helplessly. He was not very annoyed. Instead, he felt a sense of relief as if he was not burdened by too much debt.
After talking with Cecima, she got a lot of new intelligence information, most of which were quite important. "First of all, there's that 'Rectification Core'... I always thought that the 'First Creator' had many aliases, but it turns out that even the 'First Creator' is just an alias... Tsk tsk tsk, doesn't this guy find it troublesome?" After muttering a few words in her heart, she expanded her perception and carefully scanned the desolate and silent island to make sure she had not missed any unexpected places. Moreover, the remaining pollution of "the will of natural disaster" in this place began to disappear naturally bit by bit after the "tuberculosis" was dealt with. Only then did he feel relieved, and with a shake of simulated spirituality, he soared into the air and flew to the other side of Jie Lian Island. While in mid-air, she was still thinking and analyzing: "Let's assume that the 'Core of Rectification' is the real person, and not just a pseudonym... Then, so far, the pseudonyms of the 'Core of Rectification' that I know of and have come into contact with are the 'First Creator' and Fusa's 'True Will'. "Among them, the forces belonging to the First Creator, such as Mana Tide and Saint Hydra, have recently focused their resources and energy on heading to the Gray Forest... "However, due to my intervention, their progress has been greatly hampered and they have not been successful yet." Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered the underground adventurer named Thomas. At the beginning, he was arranged by himself to be a human camera in the St. Xudela Society's team going into the mountains. However, because I entered the Gray Forest, my connection with the Order World was completely cut off, so I had no idea what I had encountered during the half month I was away from the Order World... So far, he seems to be doing well. He has temporarily settled down in a city on the western border of the Glorious Plantagenet Empire and has not been affected by the "natural disaster on land". It seems that he still has occasional contact with the peripheral members of the Saint Xudela Society until now, and no one knows what happened in between... We can find out more about it in the future if we have the chance, there is no rush. Shaking her head, she returned her attention to the previous topic, which was about "rectifying the core": "Then there's Fusa's 'True Will'... The power under this vest is the 'New World' sect, and I happen to have an informant there, the 'Secret Saint' Fasti... "What these forces have in common is that they all seem to be trying to spy on some unknown, mysterious power: "The 'Saint Hydra Society' wants to enter the Gray Forest; the 'New World' sect wants to get their hands on the power of 'God of Disaster and Destruction' and 'Goddess of Disaster' Fusa; and the 'Mana Tide' has been collecting divinity from the 'Moon' realm for a long time. "In other words, the 'Rectification Core' is exploring some new paths, attempting to take its power to a higher level, or even ascend to the throne of God? "Why exactly? He...what is he in such a hurry for? What is he planning?" These thoughts seemed rich in content, but in fact, they only took a moment for Qi Ji's thinking ability. When she just crossed the hill in the center of the island and landed on the other side of the coast, she finished thinking. "...Well, let's just go and ask it." She landed on the ground as lightly as a feather, then easily jumped onto the metal ship docked on the shore, calling on the power of the "Twelfth Authority: Republic" to regain control of this unique-looking ship. "Rumble!..." With the roar of the boiler, the more than 30-meter-long metal ship flexibly sailed away from Jielian Island and turned to head south. Although the "Rectification Core" and "First Creator" were most likely in the Northern Continent... she still planned to go to the Southern Continent first. The reason is simple - it's not that she is not interested in the true identity of the "Purification Core", but that she left a "clone" in a sense in the Northern Continent, and her original body going to the Southern Continent did not hinder her actions in the Northern Continent. In addition, there are so many of her reconnaissance puppets in the Northern Continent, and with her "stand-in flash" skill, she can travel back and forth in a matter of seconds. Besides...
"According to Cecima, 'natural disasters' should be the common enemy of all living things in this world, and the only terrifying existence in the world that can be regarded as 'absolute evil'. “Even the cultists would not believe in this kind of thing. After all, He will not bestow any benefits, nor does He have the intelligence to deceive or defraud others. He is simply a collection of destructive will. “Natural disasters are more evil than evil gods. "But……" Driving the torpedo boat-shaped ship through the waves, Qi Ji suddenly laughed coldly: "If that's the case... then why would anyone go and 'summon' Him?" This doesn't make sense. Moreover...what she did on this trip to Jie Lian Island was not just to deal with the pollution of "the will of natural disasters". Besides that, she did one more thing... "Those terrorists actually came from the Southern Continent." On Jie Lian Island, Qi Ji discovered some clues about those "Summoners of the Scourge". Although the entire island had been swept away by the tremendous power of the "underwater disaster", some traces were still left behind. With Qi Ji's abilities, he would definitely not miss these remaining clues. That's right! Based on the detailed scanning and investigation, she could confirm one thing: the ships that those guys who successfully caused the "underwater disaster" to fall at the wizard's gathering were heading south. Following the tracks of those ships, we can confirm with certainty that they all came from the direction of the southern continent! That is to say... Regardless of whether they subjectively want to cause chaos in the world, or are objectively deceived by certain superiors, the lair of those who summoned the "natural disaster" is most likely in the southern continent. In this "Giant Island" which is a colony of human countries, within the reach of human civilization... it is the most chaotic lawless place! Qi Ji is going to go to their doorstep right now and have a good chat with these people face to face to find out what is going on! ==================== Yesterday, my new computer desk arrived. I had to move, install and organize it. I was busy for a long time and stopped updating for a day... Please forgive me QAQ I've finished watching the old anime "Magic Penguin Tank" and I think it's pretty good. It's worth watching the recommendation of Denpa. Chapter 536: Three-masted Sailboat "Rumble--" The noise of boilers and propellers roared monotonously and mechanically on the sea. The sharp bow of the ship cut through the sea water, and the hull discharged the salt water with white foam to both sides, and then slowly healed behind it. "We should be almost there... Honestly, the nautical charts in this world are too abstract, aren't they? If my perception wasn't strong enough, I would have gotten lost if I had sailed according to the charts..." Qi Ji stood on the riveted steel front deck, holding a yellowed paper nautical chart in both hands, with a tricorn hat on his head. He raised his eyes from time to time to glance ahead. In his field of vision there was only the vast blue sea and the clear sapphire sky. No wonder even after Jielian Island was developed, the route to the South Continent was listed as one of the most dangerous navigation plans by sailors.
Unless you are an experienced captain or senior navigator with rich sailing experience, it would be a dead end for a novice captain to choose such a sea mission without authorization. The "culprit" that leads to this situation is the world's navigation map. The mapping accuracy of this thing...judged by modern standards, it can't be said to be satisfactory, but it can only be said to be terrible. It was also thanks to Qi Ji that we did not get lost in such a bright and clear world. "Well... at this speed, we expect to arrive before dawn tomorrow at the latest."
