The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle

"You have broken its life gate, so naturally, it belongs to you." Chenxing also spoke softly, "This is also the consensus An Shenzi and I reached beforehand."

An Nan nodded, his gaze shifting to see Jiang Zhi's expression still somewhat strange, which surprised him…

He spoke in the Starfire chat channel exclusive to the three of them.

"Jiang Zhi, my brother, just take it. Although the Immortal item is highly valuable, we had already discussed the distribution method beforehand. You breached its life gate, no problem."

"I'm not... thinking it's without reason, nor do I feel it's unjust." Jiang Zhi said quietly, "It's because the answer I just gave to Lord Divine Son was false."

An Nan: "?"

Jiang Zhi looked towards Su Qi:

"I just saw... your contact with the monster, and then all the Chaotic Liquid I just mentioned surged madly and got absorbed by you... Although this thing is in my hand, it has nothing to do with me."

His expression stern, "And Brother Su…"

"Are you still Brother Su now?"

An Nan was somewhat disconcerted, "Wait, Brother Su absorbing..."

"Yes, absorbing!"

Jiang Zhi coldly, "I'm afraid the Chaotic... it wasn't killed, but chose a new host!!"

An Nan's face suddenly paled, aware of the terror of the Chaotic Liquid; even a little bit of Chaotic was enough to create a terrifying monster.

Not to mention,

that one just now, there was even something like a domain presence!

An Nan said in a low voice, "That thing must not be touched! If it really has been possessed..."

The power of the Abyss was truly terrifying, aside from those who truly followed its power, sacrificing a price to gain immense strength and forever being disciples of the Abyss, others who touched it only invited disaster, being dragged into the corrupted Abyss!

"Who are you now!" At that moment, Jiang Zhi's expression was extremely solemn and serious!

He was ready, determined to bring Brother Su back!

At this very moment,

everyone was still on the way, and nobody noticed the heavy atmosphere in the chat channel among the three of them.

And Su Qi slowly raised his head, his profound eyes making them nervous.

"I am…"

Both were nervous!

"Your father."

"?"

Both were stunned!

What the hell?

Su Qi lightly said, "You really can imagine things..."

"..." Jiang Zhi was silent for a moment, still not completely convinced, and said solemnly, "But what I just saw, how do you explain that."

The Chaotic Liquid is the power of the Abyss… like pollution, it is a deadly and dangerous terror, like a drug, many people afflicted without even knowing, turned into ghosts, bizarre, abnormal, all unknowing.

"Tch."

Su Qi lightly clicked his tongue, "Well, how should I say this, it seems I can't pass it off as an illusion now, but since you've seen it, let me be honest."

"I am the great Abyss broadcaster, the Evil God is my top rank, the God of Anxiety my second, third is Chaotic... fourth is blood…"

"That's your idea of being honest!??" Jiang Zhi almost yelled!

"Isn't that reasonable?" Su Qi spread his hands, "It's precisely with the help of the leaderboard, big brother, that I could absorb the Chaotic Liquid."

Jiang Zhi rolled his eyes, now he could probably be sure, this was indeed still Brother Su, and it didn't seem to be affected by the Chaotic, morphing into an abnormal possessed.

Many people affected don't realize the various changes in themselves, sinister, bizarre, cruel, which is why after many worlds collapse, they turn into horrors.

An Nan also stepped forward to say at this moment, "I inspected with Divinity and it seems like Brother Su indeed hasn't been affected in that way."

"It seems like it might not be what you thought, Jiang Zhi."

Jiang Zhi asked, "Brother Su, can you explain?"

Su Qi spread his hands, "Haven't I explained already? You don't believe me!"

Jiang Zhi sighed, despairingly shaking his head, "Here I thought, having joined The Hustlers Sect and being your companion for so long, we had some camaraderie, yet you still brush me off."

?

You're just kidding, right?

These days, being an honest person is really hard, no one believes whatever you say.

Couldn't I, the Hierarch of The Hustlers Sect, lie?

Before, Su Qi might still have concealed, but arriving here, he knew the stage he had to set; so, far from concealing, he even had to start building momentum.

Setting a grand and far-reaching standard for everyone in The Hustlers Sect.

But unfortunately…

No one believed.

"Fine," Su Qi said nonchalantly, "then just assume I have special means to temporarily seal that Chaotic Liquid."

"Reasonable." Jiang Zhi gave a thumbs up.

You go to the kids' table.

Su Qi calmly stated:

"I didn't expect you to see it, inside..."

Su Qi, stroking his chin and squinting slightly at the Immortal Level weapon in Jiang Zhi's hand, said, "It seems to be because of this thing."

It was precisely because at that moment, after Jiang Zhi had touched it, he could see what Su Qi had been doing in the Chaotic Swamp.

Jiang Zhi touched his head, "Really? I still don't know what it's for; no information box popped up either."

Su Qi glanced a few times, "It's a nice treasure; keep it."

It was likely not only of Immortal Quality but also had other special properties, and it wasn't that Jiang Zhi had grabbed it, but rather it had moved toward Jiang Zhi.

This is the unique chance of each individual, a clever choice of its own.

"I thought you were going to ask me to hand it over," Jiang Zhi couldn't help but complain.

"What do you take me for as the Sect Hierarch?"

Su Qi pondered, "But I really should collect some sales tax."

Jiang Zhi: "??"

Be a human!

Although Jiang Zhi and An Nan both did not believe the true argument Su Qi had just made.

But.

At this moment, Xiao Ou and Luo Shenfu were all ears.

Everything that had just happened had been seen by them.

Luo Shenfu, naturally, had not heard Su Qi mention the Abyss for the first time. He vaguely recalled, "Daozi always took a casual attitude toward the Abyss, familiar with the names of various Abyss Gods."

However, he... also didn't believe.

His own Daozi had been unreliable for more than a day or two, and he had long been accustomed to it unless the gods of the Abyss really appeared.

Unlikely indeed.

This formation had nothing to do with Daozi.

And Xiao Ou also... didn't believe a bit, thinking to itself: It's still the same argument; is there any point in repeating it?

Who in their right mind would believe!!

Su Qi could see the question marks over their heads and sighed lightly.

Alas.

Beneath my throne, not one person of trust.

At this time.

Chenxing and An Nan suddenly looked moved and picked up the Jade Talisman in their hands.

An eyebrow slightly raised.

"A High-level Holy Artifact...."

"They've found it already."

...

From all directions heading toward Demon Land, people had already encountered various manifestations of Abyss Power, including abnormal Pollution Monsters and high-order demons. Of course, some had also witnessed various scenes of Ancient Battlefield Fragments.

All were dilapidated, cruel, bloody, with pits of thousands of corpses, countless suspended coffins, and bodies with eyes open in death.

Naturally, although the number of High-level Holy Artifacts was not large compared to others, and their locations were unclear, as soon as anyone stumbled upon one, it would draw a crowd.

Half a day later.

Nearly fifty High-level Holy Artifacts had been successively located throughout the Demon Land.

But... getting to them was not so easy.

Because these High-level Holy Artifacts were surrounded by twisted oddities, and they were also imbued with various strange rules.

In other words.

The sites of these High-level Holy Artifacts were like an... instance that needed to be decoded, with everyone racking their brains and exerting all their strength.

Each High-level Holy Artifact was in a different place, producing various rules and oddities.

Even the Divine Son could not bypass the rules here.

For a time.

It actually trapped everyone there.
