Here, Long Jiu glared fiercely at the Dark Demon with his nine dragon heads and eighteen dragon eyes.
But the hot-tempered Dark Demon was not one to be trifled with. Ninety-nine ferocious and sinister eyes instantly lit up on its pitch-black humanoid form, staring back defiantly!
As the atmosphere between these two Great Lords, filled with "What are you looking at?" and "What are you going to do about it?", grew increasingly tense,
A dragon-shaped Great Lord nearby transmitted telepathically:
"Enough! The Dark Demon has only roared a few times, and the Illusory Colors layer is very unstable right now! You two, stop causing trouble!"
This Great Lord, resembling an Eastern dragon, seemed to hold considerable authority. With its words, the two Great Lords who couldn't stand each other finally ceased their confrontation.
Then, the dragon-shaped Great Lord asked Long Jiu, "Little Jiu, are you sure that human named Chen Luo has already gone beyond the world?!"
Great Lord Long Jiu nodded subconsciously, and then its scarlet dragon eyes lit up one after another: "Candle Dragon, I understand what you mean!!!"
"Hahaha!! Foolish human!! Prepare to die!!!"
Excited, Long Jiu, ignoring the reactions of the other Great Lords, abruptly turned and plunged headfirst into the world's illusions behind it!
The relationship between each layer of the void can be simply understood as a continuous deepening. Any existence in the outer void has a similar projection in the deeper void.
However, individual lives are too weak. In the infinite layers of illusions, perhaps the smallest speck of light is a projection of countless material world lives throughout their entire existence.
Only sufficiently vast and complete worlds can leave sufficiently vast projections in the infinite layers of illusions.
And the so-called world's illusions are the projections of a specific world, formed by the convergence of countless specks of light.
At this moment, Long Jiu was once again following this projection, channeling its power inversely into the higher layers of the void!
...
Chen Luo looked at the metal cube that was binding the Ninth World, shaking his head with some difficulty:
"Ninth World, it seems you cannot escape this calamity after all."
The world's amnion surrounding the Ninth World had become much dimmer. After she had given Chen Luo 500 portions of Great Source power, the system had extracted another 300 portions from her.
Now, the Great Source power she possessed was only about 100 portions, a quantity considered low by the standards of the world.
Moreover, as the Great Source power was drawn away, the Great Source itself seemed to become sluggish.
At this moment, upon hearing Chen Luo's words, the Great Source paused slightly, as if just realizing, and transmitted a very fearful and vague emotion.
Looking at the obviously much slower Great Source, Chen Luo glanced at the metal cube and shook his head helplessly.
【You have touched the Nine Dragon Great Lord's wondrous item, "Shackles of War"!】
【Shackles of War】
【Type】: Wondrous Item
【Level】: Origin Level
【Owner】: Great Lord Long Jiu (Bound at Origin Level)
【Effects】:
1. Hunter's Mark: Upon hitting the target, locks onto the target. Regardless of which void layer the target is in, Great Lord Long Jiu can sense the marked target.
2. Feint: The wondrous item possesses an internal space, capable of transporting a certain number of beings across different void layers.
3. Until Death Do Us Part: When activated, forcefully anchors the target. The target's current void time is locked for one year, preventing any movement!
4. Hidden Passage (Origin Effect): At the beginning of each scene in the target game world, Great Lord Long Jiu can descend. The descended Great Lord possesses the authority to directly attack the world! (Current first scene descent count has been used up!)
【Currently Marked Target】: Ninth Game World!
【Special Notice】:
1. This wondrous item cannot be completely destroyed by power below the Great Lord level!
2. Removing the mark requires the expenditure of five hundred portions of Great Source power!
【Description】:
A special wondrous item forged by Great Lord Long Jiu using its own origin and Great Source power for the purpose of harvesting worlds.
You have saved the world, though perhaps only for a short while.
...
*Bang!!*
With a deafening roar that shook the river of the void, the metal cube suspended outside the world was suddenly blasted into countless fragments by a golden-red giant!
When Chen Luo was inside the cube before, he could have punched a large hole in this so-called Shackles of War, making its destruction seem easy.
But now, looking at the Shackles of War that he had easily shattered, Chen Luo felt an invisible pressure.
Although from Chen Luo's observational angle, the cube had exploded into countless fragments, in the next instant, a complete and intact cube reappeared outside the world, firmly binding it.
Even the hole that Chen Luo had previously made on this cube had completely disappeared.
"Dimension? Causality? Time? Rules?" Chen Luo muttered, trying to decipher the mystery behind this bizarre scene.
But as the system prompt had stated, no matter what methods Chen Luo employed, he could not truly destroy these shackles.
The Great Source seemed to sense Chen Luo's failure and conveyed some comforting emotions to him.
Chen Luo, who was contemplating the mysteries of the Shackles of War, noticed the Great Source's emotions and looked at the world not far away with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
"Comfort what! I can leave anytime! It's you who can't escape!"
Upon hearing Chen Luo say this, the Great Source finally remembered that it was the one in trouble.
In fact, it was only after seeing the fourth effect of the Shackles of War that Chen Luo understood how Great Lord Long Jiu could actively devour game worlds.
After all, before a game world was completely occupied by invading races, Great Lords lacked operational authority over the game world.
If they forcibly operated, they would be directly ejected by the Doomsday Game, like the Dark Demon.
And with the fourth effect now in place, even if the few disciples left behind had become extremely powerful, capable of handling the regular second chapter.
But if Long Jiu attacked again, Chen Luo would not be able to cross the void to provide assistance, as he himself had his own home to defend.
The Great Source, realizing this, indeed became cowardly.
...
Feeling the constant fear and disappointment emanating from the Great Source, Chen Luo was completely out of patience.
In fact, this was the Great Source's flaw. As a naturally born Tier Three being, her power was immense, but she was not an individual life form, making it difficult for her to engage in complex thought or express clear emotions like individual lives.
Although the Great Source appeared sluggish at this moment, this was still a benefit from the temporary increase in her upper limit due to her previous possession of over nine hundred portions of Great Source power.
After some time, the Great Source's intelligence would likely decline directly to the level of a pet, or even a plant.
Looking at the Great Source, who, despite her disappointment, showed no signs of regret, Chen Luo shook his head helplessly:
"Don't worry, I have a way to save you."
Upon hearing this, the Great Source's world amnion suddenly brightened, and then it transmitted an emotion of excitement and anticipation to Chen Luo.
Chen Luo's mouth twitched slightly:
"Is this the highest level of recognition? Or is the Great Source inherently foolish? You believe whatever I say!"
"Never mind, saving one world is saving, and saving two worlds is also saving."
"I'm sorry, I have to break my promise! You'll be eaten by me instead!!"
