The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle

"Now do you understand..." Doli shook its head slightly and spoke softly, "The Master of the Present World is not here, and you can't converse with such a magnificent being even if you wish to."

The Bell-Ringer softly said, "You seem to be shackled by the sequence now, why not consider something more practical, resources for breakthrough... I can provide them to you."

Doli also spoke earnestly, "I have an important artifact... that I can give to you."

They weren't worried that Su Qi would make outrageous demands; the rules were rules, and even if they thought Su Qi deserved more, they couldn't change them. They were already seeking other rewards for him through their conversation, of course, these would be provided by themselves.

"..."

Su Qi was about to speak.

The next moment.

He felt an inexplicable fluctuation enveloping him... Neither the Bell-Ringer nor Doli seemed to notice, but Su Qi clearly felt something changing.

Then.

A system popup appeared before Su Qi.

[Please note, player Su Buxian has received a gift from the Master of the Present World]

[1, You can choose to permanently advance one of the skills or tools blessed with Divine Power]

[2, The sequence path is being generated, and the path within disorder has been calculated, the player can now directly ascend]

[3, Receive a special Ancient Relic]

Su Qi looked at the messages popping up one after another, his eyebrows jumped fiercely, what's happening?

He looked towards the core nexus in the void!

The will of the Master of the Present World... was it here?

Did it hear my request? And the form of the gift was directly through the Paradise System, as if it could connect to Paradise as well.

"Then, can I ask for a few more..." Su Qi was just about to tentatively ask.

The popup appeared again.

[Please make a choice within one minute]

It was as if it was reminding him, don't think about it, these are enough.

Su Qi looked at the mostly Divine Power boosted skills and tools; to be honest... it was quite difficult to choose in the moment, as every artifact and skill was powerful!

[Blinding] and [Self-Destruction] were big killers; the former could make someone completely collapse spiritually in darkness and even affect groups, while the latter had an appalling destructive power.

[Dark Wind Boots] could teleport, escape, and break free, the best tool even if it could only be used ten times, was still extremely terrifying.

After thinking for a few seconds.

Su Qi had made a decision.

"I choose... the Cube."

This thing... had an extremely high ceiling, and the functionality was very strong, if he didn't have it... the previous skirmishes and battles with the God of Anxiety would have ended in early defeat, Su Qi thought it had a high priority among these options.

[Player has made a choice]

[Magic Cube Skill has been advanced]

Su Qi's vision was quickly filled with the freshly advanced popup.

[Name: Magic Cube Star]

[type: Skill]

[Quality: Legend]

[Function: 1, Magic Cube Domain: Can form a separate Magic Cube Space, able to pull in up to a thousand targets (once space is formed, unless destroyed or the sustaining energy completely dissipates, it will persist)]

[2, Six-Sided Rubik's Cube: Three faces attack, three faces defend, when rotating, can freely combine offensive and defensive tactics]

[Note: What might have been 1V1 before, but now you can initiate a just mob beatdown]

After the choice was complete.

Su Qi took a deep look at Room No.4's void-like area, the Master of the Present World... ah... seems also not that simple, and the forces behind Paradise, hard to say.

"Alright."

Su Qi looked at Doli and the Bell-Ringer: "Then I won't go in, ah..."

He sighed softly, "I didn't expect there would be no gain in the end, the two of you just now must not go back on your word."

Doli looked at Su Qi's disappointed expression, feeling quite regrettable, "You've done well enough, anyway... don't worry, we won't go back on our word."

"Then thank you for your generous assistance," said Su Qi lightly.

The Bell-Ringer's eyelids twitched; it always felt that Su Qi seemed to be in a good mood, though it hadn't noticed anything:

It coughed softly, "Anyway, now that the dust has settled, go exchange for the item first..."

"Legend has it... something countless people have fought over..."

"It brings death, conflict, envy, and has sparked the rise and fall of numerous Heavenly Prides..."

It uttered four words: "Death Star Annihilation."

"And that item is right in there."

Su Qi allocated all of his points, having been left with few after defeating the God of Anxiety, but fortunately, the rules of the Master of the Present World were fair, and he was compensated fairly, with the final amount even multiplied several times.

He now had over one hundred billion points.

But most importantly... to exchange for this ultimate artifact required nine hundred and ninety-nine billion points.

The second highest-priced item was less than a hundred billion...

In other words,

This item was clearly not intended to be exchanged for anyone.

All the people in the trial... fighting to the death, were able to obtain an item ranked in the top ten in value, which was already considered an extremely rare occurrence over the countless years, said to be less than the number of fingers on two hands according to Doli.

If it hadn't been for his own initiative, he probably wouldn't have been able to obtain it.

"I'm really curious right now. I want to see what it truly looks like,"

After Su Qi chose to exchange, he was currently enveloped in countless halos, moving forward into nothingness.

His body penetrated the sword of the mechanical planet, and in the boundless universe, numerous meteors and world light balls were receding.

Among the myriad of high-gravity star streams.

Su Qi saw... a celestial body with dark hues mixed with purple energy.

It was like a Dark Star.

All the surrounding turbulence... like a planetary storm, a large number of broken worlds were rotating around it.

"This is... the 'Death Star Annihilation'..."

"It's not a very large sphere."

"Don't tell me, when you use it, you have to hang it on a string..."

Before, the information he saw about it was just a simple excerpt... Although it described its terrifying power, he didn't know how to use it. In fact, this was his first time seeing its true face.

"It seems a bit difficult to grasp."

Under the protection of the guarding power, Su Qi's body passed through the shattered turbulence belt and then he reached out his hand to grab it.

"Boom!"

In that instant.

The power of the Dark Star body suddenly burst, bringing a sense of horrifying devouring, as if it wanted to annihilate everything close to it!

Su Qi's eyelids twitched slightly.

And the next moment!

The guarding power suddenly intensified, the ninety-nine billion points of light that had just been poured in, incredibly, all converged upon this Dark Star!

The terrifying surge of power burst in an instant!

As if.

It was compressing everything within the Dark Star!

Wave after wave of light points all penetrated into it, seemingly taming some kind of fearsome nihility monster!

"Boom boom boom!"

Under the crazy collisions!

Su Qi saw a long line formed by light points connecting the sphere to himself, seemingly establishing a connection.

But it seemed somewhat feeble.

The opposition was just too vehement, and the surrounding turbulence was getting even more violent! Countless turbulences were bursting!

"Stop resisting... your resistance is like coquettish protest...."

Without hesitation, Su Qi put all his remaining points... also into it!

In an instant.

A huge light bulldozer-like thing pushed directly over!

The Dark Star noticeably paused!

And was overwhelmed!

All of Su Qi's breaths were connected to it!

He could feel the sphere... slowly changing!

"It seems to respond now."

From the initial unfamiliarity, terror, and inability to suppress, to now there was a certain connection and response, even adding a sense of control and oppression.

Looking at it this way, it makes sense that such a large number of points is needed to suppress this thing... To obtain it, one must have such power for suppression.

However.

The item itself probably didn't expect that someone could not only approach it and capture it but also suppress it in the process.

"Come on...."

Su Qi casually waved his hand.

The Dark Star was compressed into his palm.

[Name: Death Star Annihilation]

[Type: Weapon]

[Quality: Low-quality]

"Wait, low-quality?"
