"The God-giver" is the sixth in the [Diviner] sequence, possessing the ability to predict and control the future.
This "God-giver" was exceptionally powerful, and with his help, humanity achieved several remarkable victories during an era when they were constantly suppressed by the Dark Beasts.
The media on Earth provided detailed biographical reports on this "divinely gifted" individual.
He is said to be an "orphan of the War Clan," a lonely soul unable to return to Earth, adrift in a world of challenges, yet still loving humanity.
By then, the War Clan had long since become a thing of the past, with only a few scattered members of the War Clan who had assimilated into the human race of Blue Star living in hiding.
This "orphan of the War Clan" is clearly a "remnant of the War Clan," but through his own efforts, he has earned the friendly title of "orphan of the War Clan."
Wei Huan remembered his name, Dou Lin, who was once the holy son of the Zhan clan.
Is it "麟" or "林"?
However, considering the pronunciation issue, Wei Huan is more inclined to believe that this "Lin" is the "Lin" he knows.
Just then, Wei Huan, who was thinking about this, overheard the bearded man saying, "...He is seven years old this year and is already a fourth-order astrologer. When we went out to buy supplies this time, he said that we would encounter danger, but there is a lucky star behind the ominous star. He also said that misfortune and fortune are interdependent, and we have to choose our own future."
Zhou Yong was shocked: "The astrologer is a fourth-order diviner. It's unbelievable that he can reach this level at the age of seven. Does he have no limitations in challenging the world?"
"Yes, there are some," the bearded man answered honestly. "First of all, none of the warriors have chariots, and they haven't reached the required age to participate in the road test."
In addition, each advancement of Zhanzi requires the consumption of advancement potions, and is also limited by the overall progress of humanity.
The advantage of the warriors lies in the fact that they can enter the professional temple for training from a very young age.
"Seven years to reach level four is not bad, is it?" Lin Xu counted on his fingers. "It only took Brother Qiang two years to advance to level four."
"It's different. Infants and toddlers can't cultivate on their own, and toddlers are too playful to cultivate seriously. So, if someone is seven years old, they've been cultivating intermittently since they were five or six. To have achieved this much at this age is already outstanding," the bearded man said. "The Holy Son is the most sensible of all the War Sons. He lost his parents at a young age and was bullied in the War Son training camp. If it weren't for the Holy Son's own efforts to become a substitute Holy Son based on his strength, he wouldn't be having a good life now."
It's a pity the Holy Son isn't a primary combat class. If he were a farmer or gardener, that would be great. Or even a gambler or a sage. But he awakened the least popular diviner class. Fate is sometimes so unfair, always bullying the unfortunate…"
Wei Huan listened silently, already identifying the person in his mind.
The name may be different, and it may be changed in the future, but the experience and professional ability will not change. This "Linlin" is Dou Lin.
In a short time, Wei Huan had a lot of ideas.
Wei Huan spoke again, saying, "Take them back to the car first."
The other two naturally had no objections and did whatever Wei Huan said. They then escorted the man away, one on each side.
By this time, they had arrived at the city gate of the northeastern city.
During the day, it looks more like a bustling city.
China's major cities.
The tall city walls do not appear ancient, entirely because the materials used to build them are mostly alloys. Various cannon barrels, some larger than tank cannons, are suspended from them. Peeking out from inside the city walls, they look just like a hedgehog.
In the Challenge World, densely populated areas are more likely to spawn wandering monsters, so there will be one or two monster sieges every month.
To protect the challengers living in the city, the authorities spared no expense in arming the city to the teeth; the equipment is now far beyond the level of this world.
At least in Wei Huan's memory, the Northeast City of the Level 3 world remained standing until humanity's defeat, protecting the peace of the region.
I wonder what these people will experience after humanity's defeat? Will they regret their self-preservation?
The undead army was largely withdrawn before entering the city, but the remaining number was enough to attract the attention of passing vehicles and challengers.
Even though the challengers in the city had become accustomed to seeing Wei Huan riding on the back of the undead and "parading through the streets" for the past two weeks, they were still intimidated every time they saw him.
No matter how bizarre and fantastical the world may be, this kind of scene that's so utterly bizarre and devastating has never happened before.
"Although I don't like the style, it doesn't stop me from respecting Wei Huan."
"What's wrong with this style? I love it. It's so impressive! Absolutely loyal undead, just thinking about it is awesome."
"Enslaving the skeletons of dark beasts, that's really satisfying. If Wei Huan could lend me an undead so I could beat him up, that would be so satisfying."
"Wei Huan changed the course of this ancient battlefield. From now on, I am a disciple of Wei Huan, and no one else can change my mind!"
Wei Huan sat cross-legged on the back of the Earth Beast Mother Beast, slowly walking down the main street of the Northeast City, attracting many curious and admiring glances.
Some people would shout Wei Huan's name, but Wei Huan was not friendly at all and rarely responded.
Even so, the onlookers will still be very happy.
The chariots would try to get close to Wei Huan, but they were almost always blocked by the undead.
This is also why Wei Huan left some of the dead to protect him.
Inside the city.
The wide street beneath their feet was also made of alloy, with cars coming and going. After seeing the huge cave beast leave a large shadow overhead and then move away, they couldn't help but step on the brakes and turn around to look.
On both sides of the street, countless people and vehicles came out to see the hero of Great Xia, the world's only "gravekeeper," after hearing the news.
They screamed and cheered for him, shouting Wei Huan's name. Among those who confessed their love to him were both men and women. Their love for him was simple and passionate, a form of admiration for a strong person, and also a way of expressing their gratitude to him.
"Ahhh! Wei Huan, we love you!"
Amidst the cheers, Little Dot, like a jellyfish wandering in the deep sea, moved slowly but actually quickly and gracefully toward the city lord's mansion.
Gradually, the shouts subsided, and the city lord's mansion appeared not far ahead.
Before they even reached the gate, the twins, who had received the news as soon as they entered the city, came out to greet them. They had already walked fast enough, but it was always like this; they met Wei Huan just as they reached the gate.
The speed at which the Crypt Beast Mother moves within the city is faster than that of a war chariot.
Wei Huan also stepped down from the cave beast at the entrance of the city lord's mansion and withdrew his undead spirit.
In someone else's
Using the territory as a pretext is a bit impolite.
The twins arrived, one beaming with joy, the other serious and earnest, both calling out at the same time, "Big brother, you're back! Was your journey alright?"
It's obviously not good; what good can come from being attacked?
But since the prisoners were still useful, Wei Huan separated the five people and put them into the bellies of five small dog heads before entering the city.
Compared to Lin Xu and Zhou Yong's anger, Wei Huan asked calmly, "How's the situation in the city today?"
Teng Jiayang knew who Wei Huan really wanted to ask, and replied, "Boss Mu went to the mecha camp early this morning. Overnight, three more mechas were added to the camp, bringing the total to fifty. There aren't many newly recruited pilots who can come at the same time, so two mechas per person is enough. I heard Boss Mu say today that he can take a break after this busy period, and he also said he wants to go treasure hunting with you."
Wei Huan nodded, his tense expression easing. "Make preparations; we do indeed need to set off soon."
The twins immediately became happy.
Being a guest in the city lord's mansion is nothing compared to the thrill of going out with the boss to make great achievements and discover treasures!
They were all incredibly envious of the Zhou Yong and Lin Xu brothers.
As they walked toward the city lord's mansion, Teng Jiayang briefly recounted the movements of the others that day.
Ding Qi and Liu Chengzhi went to the mecha camp with Mu Chong. Xu Qingqiang spent all his time in the car, either sleeping, watching movies, and drinking milk tea; he was the only one among them who was truly relaxing. Since the leaders all had their own matters to attend to, the diplomatic work representing their vehicle had to be left to Mu Tangge. In the past few days, Mu Tangge had met with many leaders and powerful figures from major forces in the city, and had also helped with Wei Jinhong's trial.
Yes, Wei Jinhong was tried for illegal activities such as illegally profiting and threatening the personal safety of others, with irrefutable evidence.
As a result of the verdict, Wei Jinhong's motorcade will be banned from using license plates for one year. During this period, all vehicles registered with the Gong family motorcade will be prohibited from entering official cities.
For an ordinary caravan, not having a safe place to stay in the challenging world is a terrible thing. Furthermore, being unable to enter or leave cities means they can't effectively trade the resources they obtain through their adventures. This verdict is fatal for a caravan.
Although Gong Lianying, the daughter of the Gong family, had many grievances against Wei Jinhong, she eventually made various efforts and has already filed an appeal with Lanxing. Wei Jinhong's case will be retried soon.
The real purpose was not to punish Wei Jinhong, but to convey a message that trying to please Wei Jinhong would not lead to getting close to Wei Huan, and that one should be cautious about investing in Wei Jinhong.
In addition, it is necessary to let Wei Jinhong return to Blue Star for a period of time, so as not to let him be free during this period and affect Wei Huan's mood.
In short, separating the two people is the right thing to do.
As for taking drastic measures against Wei Jinhong, that's absolutely impossible.
A fool can't become the city lord; getting too involved in other people's affairs will only make him disliked by both sides.
Who knows if the father and son will reconcile in a few years?
Wei Huan neither agreed nor disagreed with the punishment.
He loathed Wei Jinhong, but not to the point of wanting him dead. He only hoped that Wei Jinhong would suffer, regret every decision he had made, and then stay far away from him.
Because of Wei Jinhong, he was branded with the crime of "parricide".
Fame is not worth it.
After listening to the report, they arrived at their lodgings.
Their accommodation was a small building arranged by the city lord, but most of the time they would stay in the white minivan parked in the parking space.
The issue of the tank's appearance has been discussed in meetings, and all sorts of strange ideas have been considered.
But in the end, everyone reached a consensus.
They just won't change it.
In the advanced world, blank cars are actually one in a million, making them even more unique.
Besides, it's impossible to please everyone, so it's better to keep it as it is. Once you see this little car a few times, it becomes quite cute. Simplicity is also a kind of beauty.
When Wei Huan reached the car, the butler opened the door automatically, and the change in his view made it seem as if he had stepped into a hotel.
After entering the gate, they were greeted by a large, empty square, where Xu Qingqiang was sitting in a coffee shop drinking juice. He waved to them in a cocky manner as they returned.
Wei Huan nodded to the others: "Everything's alright, go and rest."
Everyone else is fine, but he is.
First, we went downstairs, where there was a parking lot and prison cells.
After releasing the prisoners, Wei Huan went upstairs to his room and then impatiently ordered the kobolds to spit out [Undead Ranch], opened the coffin, and went inside.
Everything else is less important; consolidating one's own strength is the top priority.
He's already at Sequence Four, so all the undead should be promoted to Sequence Four.
There's also the newly recruited flying monkey; he still needs to get to know him.
The Flying Monkey has abilities similar to a Shaman, but the attribute increases are rather random and the values they add are not high, so it can only be described as a low-end support.
However, its "kite state" is quite strong. In fact, this ability is not healing, but more like a kind of life sharing.
If Wei Huan hadn't received the reward from the [Dark Beast Manual], he wouldn't have known that the Flying Monkey's kite state could reduce the damage taken by the bound user by half. However, because the Flying Monkey's own stamina was also low, after being bound, the Flying Monkey would often die before the bound user could die from the damage it received.
This is also why the Flying Monkey rarely uses the Kite mode.
But the dead are not afraid of death.
If the flying monkey still has the ability to share life after death, binding death is just a waste of dark energy to revive again, at worst just hanging a few more "blood packs".
Wei Huan's initial plan was good. He recruited dozens or even hundreds of flying monkeys at once, and he, Mu Zhong, and everyone in the car would each have two, like pets. Even if a mushroom exploded above their heads, they would probably be hard-pressed to die.
However, Lin Xu's experiment failed.
What Wei Huan wanted to see at the time was not that Lin Xu's wound was healing too quickly, but that Lin Xu couldn't cut the skin on his arm no matter how hard he tried.
Just as light and darkness are incompatible, it seems that the flying monkey resurrected by the power of death can only strengthen the undead army.
Therefore, it's not that the ability is bad, but the results were far worse than he expected.
I'm a little disappointed.
Wei Huan walked on the ground covered with rotten black mud, passing through rows of grotesque and twisted trees.
The trees, with their jagged, claw-like branches, sprouted burls of a thick, yellowish-brown, gelatinous substance, each containing a skeleton or a rotting corpse, occasionally twitching—a scene reminiscent of walking on...
A scene from a horror movie.
Wei Huan walked deeper into the forest and came to a thicker tree burl with blood streaks appearing in its gelatinous substance.
Under his watchful eye, the tree's durability dropped until it reached the expected value. Suddenly, the burl burst open, and a small object wrapped in sticky liquid fell to the ground.
The moment it landed, the little thing opened its eyes, propped itself up with its limbs, shook itself to shake off the slime, then tilted its head back, opened its big round eyes, and looked at Wei Huan with those eyes tinged with green flames.
This is the look in one's eyes when seeing a ruler, one of absolute submission.
Then, at Wei Huan's silent command, it flapped its wings and flew up, floating in front of Wei Huan.
The flying monkey, now at the fourth tier, is even more beautiful. Its fur is golden, fluffy, and clean, and feels smooth to the touch. As the only dark beast that conforms to human aesthetics, its evolution has not disappointed Wei Huan.
In addition, its properties also change in the display of the glasses.
Six-Star Flying Monkey
Flying Monkey Corpse (Tier 4), Wei Huan's summoned creature.
Endurance: 1800br1800
Strength: 80
Agility: 120
Spiritual power: 220
Special status: None
As a "low-tier shaman," it possesses spiritual power, with 220 points of spiritual power at the fourth rank, which is neither good nor bad.
As a six-star life form, what is truly surprising is that it possesses 1800 points of stamina at the fourth tier.
Although this stamina is not as good as Wei Huan's, if the kite can stay near Wei Huan, it is equivalent to giving Wei Huan an extra 1800 points of health.
Before Wei Huan came in, he made a point of checking his attributes after leveling up to level four.
Name: Wei Huan (Pseudo-Artifact +25%) (Title +25%)
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Occupation: Psychic (Sequence 4)
Endurance: 3700
Strength: 660
Agility: 620
Dark power: 2700
Special state: Dark energy accelerates erosion.
20,000+ summoned creatures
With the addition of the Flying Monkey's 1800 stamina points to this attribute panel, Wei Huan's health points reach a staggering 5100.
Various countries have conducted experiments using small mushrooms, and the results showed that being hit head-on by a small mushroom causes around 3,000 damage, plus high-temperature burning at up to 500 per second.
This value is not absolute; it varies depending on the profession and professional level.
In addition, fire resistance and other issues must be considered.
Of course, in reality, it's more likely that he would have already escaped using the kobolds' teleportation ability before the explosion even happened.
If we only consider the data, Wei Huan's current health is enough to survive even if he were hit head-on by the small mushroom.
With a thought, Wei Huan felt the flying monkey's tail wrap around his neck, feeling as light as a plush necklace—a feeling he could quickly get used to and forget.
Then Wei Huan cut his wrist, looked at the still bleeding back of his hand, and remained silent for a few seconds.
Isn't it what he thought?
It wasn't until Wei Huan looked up to look at the flying monkey that he discovered its stamina had dropped by 5 points.
Wei Huan was secretly pleased and, not afraid of the trouble, did a bit more severe with himself.
This time, under his watchful gaze, the flying monkey lost another 11 points of health.
Wiping away the wound on his wrist, Wei Huan was satisfied as he released the flying monkey from its "kite state" and had it bind to the big bear beside him.
To distinguish this hero-level zombie bear from other bears, Wei Huan casually named it Big Bear.
Liu Chengzhi called him Brother Xiong.
The bear now had a golden collar around its neck, connected to a half-meter-long rope, with the flying monkey floating behind its neck.
The bear is six meters long and its shoulder height exceeds 3 meters when it lands on all fours. A flying monkey the size of a palm is tied to its body, as small as a dragonfly.
For every step the bear takes forward, it covers two meters, and the flying monkey floats two meters along with it.
Wei Huan suddenly raised his hand, grabbed the Ring of Morpheus on his back, and swung it with a black afterimage, lashing out at the golden kite string that had turned into a tail without saying a word.
"call!"
Something interesting happened!
He lashed at the tail as if he had hit air, leaving the tail unharmed.
It seems the [Dark Beast Manual] was right. Flying Monkeys possess spatial abilities, somewhat similar to Ghost Crows. After evolving to a higher level, they can slip into the crevices of space-time to ensure they won't be attacked while in kite mode.
This ability is unbeatable. As long as you bind a tanky Dark Beast, the tank will become even tankier, and the Flying Monkey will be more likely to survive.
Perhaps when the Flying Monkey first evolved the ability to fly kites, it wasn't to sacrifice itself for other Dark Beasts, but rather to hope for a benign parasitic relationship and mutual dependence.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the evolution level must be high enough.
Many flying monkeys on the Dark Beast Lord battlefield today, whose bloodline awakening is not enough, will not choose to enter the kite state. Once bound, they have no ability to escape into the void, making them helpless targets.
However, a level four flying monkey can already briefly enter the void.
Although they can only stay for a few seconds, as long as they seize the opportunity, the flying monkey and his bound partner will be in a semi-invincible state.
Afterwards, Wei Huan conducted many more experiments. Once he confirmed that he had basically mastered the flying monkey's abilities, he let it leave the bear's neck and return it to Wei Huan's shoulder.
The bear, wiggling its large rear end, found a four-star pasture with full stamina and burrowed inside. After completing its fourth-level evolution, it will become even stronger.
For a considerable period of time, Wei Huan was engrossed in this kind of evolution.
No one dislikes becoming stronger, especially in such an uncertain world.
If Wei Huan hadn't been strong enough today, he might have been the one to die if he had encountered those warriors.
So if you want to thrive in a challenging world, you must become the strongest, and become even stronger!
Wei Huan stayed in the Undead Ranch for a full day and night.
He even accumulated more Netherworld power and recruited three more flying monkeys, so that at least some of the main combat forces in his vanguard would have flying monkeys to cooperate with him.
Additionally, the Flying Monkey's "low-end support" might not provide much in terms of stat boosts if Mu Zhong is present, but it can be a valuable asset when encountering situations where the Monkey acts alone.
Even on battlefields with low intensity, it can reduce Mu Zhong's pressure.
Even though Wei Huan was so engrossed in advancing his level that he couldn't extricate himself, his army of undead was simply too large. The number of undead he could evolve in a day and a night was limited. In the end, Wei Huan, hungry, staggered out of the coffin.
"What time is it, butler?"
Wei Huan splashed water haphazardly on his face and asked this question.
The butler's voice rang out from above: "It's 2 a.m. You've been in the professional training grounds for 35 hours now. During that time, Major Mu has visited you 17 times, Lieutenant Xu has come upstairs 4 times, and Chef Liu..."
The butler answered meticulously, then said, "The food has been prepared for you downstairs. Please come down to eat."
Wei Huan most wanted to hear those last words.
Starving, his mind was a complete blank and he couldn't remember anything until he opened the door and saw Mu Zhong rushing out. Only then did Wei Huan come to his senses.
Walk!?
Once Wei Huan snapped out of his daze, his gaze first fell on Mu Zhong's legs.
It was a pair of legs that looked almost normal, perfectly intact, but because they were in such a hurry that there wasn't time to cover them up, it was revealed that they were made of metal.
"The prosthetic limb has finally arrived?" Wei Huan exclaimed in surprise.
