Chapter 1 Gazing

Li Cheng頤 strained his eyes, looking towards the direction of the light.

He saw the purple light approaching, constantly approaching.

It was a purple ring.

The ring was divided into twelve sections, each containing a crystal base.

And at the very center of the ring was still a patch of darkness, but within that darkness, it seemed something was approaching, emerging.

Li Cheng頤's gaze was unconsciously drawn to the darkness at the center of the ring.

He watched intently, observing, trying to see clearly what was emerging.

Buzz!

In an instant, two silver lights lit up in the darkness.

A set of purplish-black, ferocious metal armor, as if crafted from crystal gems, slowly emerged from the darkness.

The armor was assembled into a human shape, looking like a seated figure.

The helmet was diamond-shaped, with extremely ornate and intricate patterns engraved on the cheeks and forehead.

An X-shaped gray armor extended from the back of the head, its purpose unknown.

Two giant, broad straight swords were carried on the back in an eight-shape, like a pair of folded wings.

The straight swords were encased in scabbards, the surfaces also engraved with a large number of exquisite and ornate patterns.

From the overall look, the texture of this armor was not thick, looking like a decorative battle armor worn by ancient military generals.

In detail, traces of damage and age could be seen. On the arms and legs, there were broken openings and spiderweb-like cracks.

It was as if it had experienced incredibly cruel battles.

'Successfully loaded Evil Flower.' A formless message flowed into Li Cheng頤's mind.

'Please freely choose twelve different flowers. Each flower can form a unique flower scale armor and possess unique flower language abilities.

A total of twelve Moon Phase Flower God positions can be filled. After filling, all flower scale armors will merge, creating your own ultimate flower scale armor.'

'Different flowers possess different flower language abilities, and have different evolutionary paths. Once selected, they will permanently occupy a Flower God position and cannot be changed. Please choose carefully.'

'The prompt will self-destruct in five seconds.

Finally, heir, please do not forget your original intention when inheriting the ability.'

'Destruction or creation, all lies in your thought.'

The darkness suddenly dissipated.

Li Cheng頤 stood there blankly, still holding his phone, facing the back of his right hand.

The black pattern on the back of his hand had also turned into a purplish-black ring.

The ring band was divided into twelve sections.

Each section seemed to possess life, constantly sending him messages of yearning.

They were yearning to find specific flowers to fill them.

'This... what the hell is this?! Find different flowers and fill twelve sections?'

He looked down at the purplish-black ring on the back of his hand, not knowing what to do for a moment.

'It has to be flowers?'

He looked at the green grass under his feet. There were no flowers on it.

On the green grass, there were only clusters of semi-man-high, bun-shaped dark green shrubs, and a row of bare black trees of unknown species.

'Flowers! Must go find flowers immediately!! I might be pulled in at any time! Be quick!'

Li Cheng頤 was only stunned for a moment, then immediately came back to his senses. He could be pulled into a dead zone at any time, so finding flowers to fill was the key! www.

Immediately, he scanned his surroundings.

It was early May, and there were not many flowers to be seen in the residential area, with people and cars coming and going.

The first thing he saw was the small white and yellow flowers swaying in the wind by the wall of the residential area in the distance, at the corner.

Li Cheng頤 immediately raised his foot and stepped out of the green belt, heading straight for those small flowers.

'Never mind what kind of flowers they are, I'll try them first!'

He ran all the way, rushing to the corner of the wall in a few steps, bending down, and reaching out to gently touch the small flowers.

'Before, touching was enough, it should be the same now.'

Li Cheng颐's chest rose and fell violently, but his hand movements were exceptionally gentle, for fear of damaging the small flowers.

He extended his index finger, gently and slowly, towards one of the small white flowers.

This small white flower was only the size of a fingernail, with white fan-shaped petals surrounding a bit of tender yellow stamen. The stamen was like a miniature honeycomb, composed of many sesame-sized round bubbles.

'This... isn't it just a wild chrysanthemum?' After all, Li Cheng頤's predecessor studied plant maintenance, and his vague memory recognized the name of this small flower.

He didn't care much, he would try this Evil Flower ability first.

As his fingertip approached, his breathing quickly suppressed, becoming lighter.

He was carefully observing, to see how this ability worked.

Poof.

Finally, his index fingernail gently touched the small white and yellow wild chrysanthemum.

A wisp of electric-like aura instantly flowed out from the edge of the petals, drilling into Li Cheng颐's finger.

Then this wisp of aura flowed from his finger to the back of his hand, sinking into one of the sections of the purplish-black ring.

At the same time, a piece of related information flowed into Li Cheng頤's mind.

'White Wild Chrysanthemum: Mostly grows in grasslands, roadsides, and fields. It has strong vitality, and can quickly recover after rain even if its stems and leaves are picked off. It has medicinal effects for clearing heat and detoxification.'

'Flower Language: Heart of Perseverance.'

'Flower Scale Armor Collection Degree: 1%. Number of Evolutions Available: Insufficient Information.'

'Fill?'

'Please note that only by developing the filled flower scale armor to the extreme can you open the second Flower God position, and only then can you fill the second flower. Please choose carefully.'

A series of information flowed in, allowing Li Cheng頤 to quickly understand how to use this Evil Flower ability.

The flower language was the special ability that came with different flowers.

The flower scale armor was like armor, with a certain protective function, able to enhance one's strength and amplify the flower language ability.

'.....' After a moment of silence, Li Cheng頤 instantly understood the entire Evil Flower ability system.

Simply put, it could transform different flowers into various superpowers and special armor.

'Heart of Perseverance...' He carefully focused his attention on the flower language ability.

'What is this ability for?'

There was no explanation, only these simple name words.

'And the flower scale armor collection degree is only one percent, which means I have to find at least a hundred wild chrysanthemums to get the flower scale armor??'

Li Cheng頤 squatted down, his thoughts surging, and quickly reached out to touch other wild chrysanthemums around.

Fortunately, this small flower was everywhere. Along the corner of the residential area wall, there were many dense ones at a glance.

He touched this one and then that one, and soon the collection degree rose to 10%.

But then, his gaze fell on the white five-petaled flower mixed among the wild chrysanthemums.

This flower looked like a soft version of a five-pointed star, with fine yellow lines in the center of the petals, and the central stamen was dark yellow, mixed with black dots.

Li Cheng頤 reached out and gently touched the petal of this flower.

Suddenly, a new piece of information flowed into his mind.

'Roadside Bramble: Evergreen shrub, roots, stems, and leaves can be used as medicine, soothing the liver and relieving depression, clearing heat and removing dampness, and can treat acute hepatitis, rheumatic waist and leg pain, rabies, etc.'

'Flower Language: Mirror of Longing.'

'Flower Scale Armor Collection Degree: 3%. Number of Evolutions Available: Insufficient Information.'

'Fill?'

Couldn't there be a more practical flower language ability?

Li Cheng頤 began to feel anxious.

This so-called Mirror of Longing clearly wasn't suitable for saving lives or survival, it was not as good as the Heart of Perseverance just now.

He quickly stood up and scanned around.

The surrounding gray-white residential buildings stood quietly, like silent white giants.

In the distance, a black car slowly drove out of the underground garage exit, the car lights drawing two white light marks in the evening.

The car tires rolled over the gray-black ground, stirring up a small pile of yellow-green leaves.

Li Cheng頤 straightened up, his eyes quickly scanning everything around him. He could feel that time was running out.

This was an inexpressible feeling, he didn't know why, but he just knew that the dead zone was coming.

'I must be quick! As quick as possible!'

Suddenly, his eyes scanned, and he immediately saw, in the middle of the residential area, next to an old gray pavilion, a wooden frame set up by someone, he didn't know whose family it was.

On the square wooden frame, there were strings of small purple flowers, hanging down from top to bottom like purple grapes.

The color of the flowers was a bit dark, they seemed to have been blooming for a while, and many had fallen on the ground, and there were also flower branches that had been broken off and played with by children.

At this time, there were two seven or eight-year-old children in the pavilion, hitting the purple flowers with sticks in their hands.

Li Cheng頤 took a deep breath and quickly rushed towards the purple flowers.

In less than ten seconds, he quickly rushed under the purple flower wooden frame, panting, and grabbed a string of hanging purple flowers with one hand.

These flowers were very beautiful, the flower bodies were mostly long tubular, and the purple petals gradually faded from the outer edge inwards, until they became pure white.

A string of flowers hung down from top to bottom, like grapes, with at least dozens of flower bodies distributed on it.

And all the open flowers gradually decreased in size from top to bottom.

The fragrance of the flowers was also very small, very light, and could not be smelled at all without careful close proximity.

As soon as Li Cheng頤's hand reached out, information was immediately transmitted.

'Wisteria: Fabaceae, Wisteria genus, has strong resistance to harmful gases such as sulfur dioxide and hydrogen oxide, can adsorb floating dust in the air, and has uses such as promoting water and reducing swelling, killing insects, and relieving pain. The medicinal properties are warm, with a little toxicity, and should not be taken for a long time.'

'Flower Language: Hand of Intoxication.'

'Flower Scale Armor Collection Degree: 3%. Number of Evolutions Available: 2.'

'Fill?'

'There are enough of them, and if the flower language ability is literal, it might be a bit useful, and there's also that number of evolutions available...'

Li Cheng頤 quickly calculated and compared in his mind.

Compared to the previous two, the wisteria's flower language ability seemed to be more practical.

If it could distract that human-faced monster...

He stood there, grabbing a wisteria flower in one hand, muttering to himself, reciting words, which made the two little kids who were still playing on the side retreat a little, not knowing what disease he had.

After a while, the two little kids ran to other places and stopped attacking the wisteria.

'It's it!!'

Finally, Li Cheng頤 looked at the seven or eight strings of wisteria flowers hanging down from the wooden frame around him, and made up his mind.

As soon as he was sure, the information flow that had just asked whether to fill immediately disappeared automatically.

A wisp of cool aura continuously flowed out from the wisteria flowers, drilling into his fingertips, flowing into the back of his right hand, and flowing into one of the sections on the purple ring.

'Moon Phase Flower God filled: Wisteria.'

'Flower Scale Armor Collection Degree: 5%. When the collection degree reaches 100, the flower scale armor will materialize. Please collect more wisteria flowers.'
