Chapter 716 - 358: Eric Steps Down
It was a statue of the Goddess of Life. In Wenster’s memory, his dreams had occurred many times, mostly hiding from crises.
However, a year ago, during a food search, he stumbled across a jade statue.
The statue dissipated in his hand upon contact, and then he frequently dreamed.
At first, he thought these dreams were a legacy, similar to what every elf receives.
But his Magic Power did not increase, nor did his abilities grow.
He was somewhat disappointed, yet in the dreams, it seemed to pave a path toward the unknown; he believed it was the guidance of the Goddess of Life.
So in each dream, he gradually migrated in the direction of the guidance. Over a year, he steadily and resolutely moved from the Elf Forest in the Land of the Far South to this northern land.
Wenster could feel he was getting closer to the destination of the guidance.
But in the early hours of yesterday, scarlet eyes appeared in his dream, giving him a strong sense of unease.
This unease made him accelerate his northern migration, only to be caught by the rejuvenated Eight-legged Demon Tiger, narrowly escaping death.
Baiyi carefully explored the dream, stepping into Wenster’s perspective to feel it.
A trace of dissatisfaction flickered in his eyes; the sense of crisis was too strong, no wonder the elf was migrating frantically.
It was like ordinary people facing the barrel of a ready-triggered gun; the sense of crisis was too intense.
This sense of crisis, if encountered by those without much resistance experience, might be fine, but if faced with an old schemer, the hunt might turn into a counter-hunt.
Baiyi exited the soul of this elf and continued his research.
Wenster snapped back to reality, shivered, and looked at Baiyi with fear in his eyes. He wanted to ask something but didn’t dare to.
Baiyi was not in a hurry regarding that legacy; it would take him less than two days to return here at full speed, so he planned to spend the next week researching this virus.
In his view, the value of the virus certainly surpassed the legacy of the Goddess of Life.
Besides, that statue in Baiyi’s eyes was merely a jade carving imbued with Divine Power, nothing special.
Moreover, Baiyi didn’t believe the Goddess of Life could leave any significant legacy in such a situation, maybe some arrangements, but none of that mattered anymore.
As time passed, Baiyi gradually discovered more characteristics of the virus.
His brow furrowed. This so-called virus was somewhat misleading; it was more of a randomness, with this random attribute comprising 80% of the virus.
The remaining 20% was all invasion and attachment, along with some recognition of living beings, plants, and even medicinal components.
To put it simply, aside from plants, anything with a touch of Spirit would undergo random evolution or degeneration in this virus.
Amidst the successive changes, until the fourth change arrives, the virus could completely halt its alteration of living beings.
However, the probability of four random changes isn’t 50%, but 6%.
As for why the limit is only four times, Baiyi could guess that the virus concentration here only supports four random occurrences.
Baiyi recalled the description of the Bizarre Healer.
[Name: Bizarre Healer.
Level: Great Divine Power.
Recorded by the Saints: An erratic bizarre entity, the manifestation of good and evil in the world, do not accept any gifts from Him; He ignores all Destiny and Luck.
You might receive the gift of world destruction in His supposed benevolence, or you might obtain all the treasures you desire from His malice.
Warning: Before reaching the peak of this era, stay away from any chaotic bizarre entities. They always stand at the pinnacle of the new era, and their ancient... is unimaginable.]
Baiyi wasn’t sure if he could fix this randomness, but he could perhaps apply this randomness to the giant statue.
Once Luoning was a bit stronger, the giant statue would also come within her premonition range. By then, Baiyi only needed to compress the virus occurrences to once and inject it into the giant statue’s core, initiating a mutation with Luoning’s help.
This would likely result in a successful evolution.
More occurrences were basically impossible.
Moreover, Baiyi abandoned the idea of using the virus to create transformations surpassing the Legendary.
Luoning didn’t have enough time to help each warrior foresee the future.
And with Baiyi’s current level, he couldn’t precisely control this randomness.
He needed to wait.
Glancing at the sky, it was midday.
The gentle spring sunlight filtered through the tree branches, casting mottled light and shadow on the ground.
These light and shadows flowed, like a unique curse, attempting to invade the bodies of living beings through their shadows and legs.
Baiyi said nothing more, knowing that what Wenster knew, he now knew too, and he had sufficient random curse samples.
This area no longer had any value.
Baiyi used a slight movement of his Spiritual Power to instantly initiate Space Teleportation with the elf.
Upon halting, they had arrived at the location indicated by his dream.
Recalling for a moment, Baiyi led the still-shocked elf towards a withered Tree of Life.
After about ten minutes of research, a flurry of Alchemy Inscriptions erupted around Baiyi, instantly sealing Wenster.
And he was thrown into the Demon Realm.
Excellent, this was not a legacy, or rather, not the legacy Baiyi wanted, but a part of one.
