Chapter 249 Major Shareholder of the Root of the Ring
The moment Lilith was imprisoned, a colossal will suddenly awoke at the core of the Ring.
Like a terminally ill patient, she was dazed for a while after waking up before gradually getting rid of the various discomforts and realizing that her body had been invaded for a long time.
As the will of the Ring, the Ring is like her body, and the various vulnerabilities within it are like viruses.
It would be strange if Lilith, as the Will of the Ring, didn't feel uncomfortable after all the trouble Mordy had been causing for so long and creating so many loopholes.
However, all of this is based on the premise that the Ring is a virtual world. Once the Ring transforms, all its vulnerabilities will become part of it.
"Just a little while longer. If I can hold out for this period, those vulnerabilities will not only stop bothering me, but will become my property instead."
Lilith kept calculating in her mind, hoping to find comfort in the cold data, but a deep sense of unease lingered in her heart, as if something was staring at her.
Driven by unease, she stopped her futile calculations and turned her attention to finding the cause of her anxiety.
She activated the records of the witch's genes at the root, using one of her abilities to search for the source of her unease, based on her own feelings of unease.
As soon as her ability was activated, her unease instantly surged to its peak, and she sensed a massive but complex will.
The other person also sensed her and looked over at that moment.
Just one glance was enough to make Lilith tremble uncontrollably.
Negative emotions such as disgust and fear welled up in my heart, but the strongest emotion was the long-accumulated hatred.
Within the source, violent and pure light was constantly being generated, and this was solely due to the gaze directed at her.
In Lilith's eyes, those warm lights appeared incredibly intense, stirring and burning all the records within the Root, even attempting to incinerate Lilith herself.
"It's you again!" she gritted her teeth, having already recognized the true identity of the unknown will.
If she wasn't mistaken, this will was the angel who had been dragged down to the mortal realm by the Holy See and annihilated, and it was also the world's will in the real world.
More accurately, it should be a fusion of the two, which is why he appears complex.
During the time she was unaware of, that angel must have been bound to the will of the world, or at least left some fragments behind, which were then swallowed up by that world.
"How did you all end up together?" Lilith asked angrily as she cleared away the light seeping in from the outside.
There was just too much light seeping in, like weeds that were difficult to completely clear away, and her opponent didn't respond to her either, only relentlessly invading the source.
Seeing this, Lilith regretted her carelessness; she shouldn't have given her opponent a chance to counter-track.
But what puzzled her even more was that she had been sucking blood from the real world for more than a year or two, so why was the other party only now showing up to fight back?
Unfortunately, the world's will, or rather the Holy Light, did not reveal any information; it simply acted like a machine, continuously channeling power toward the source.
Every bit of power he used was precise and measured, with no waste. As time went on, he seemed to have figured out some of Lilith's situation and began to update his tactics.
Lilith was harassed to the point of despair, and while resisting, she also discovered something unusual.
“No, you are not Him,” she asserted. “You are merely a fake that has devoured His fragments and remnants.”
She said that for two reasons.
Firstly, that angel wasn't that weak. If it really were Him, given her current condition, she would have died twice already.
Secondly, the current Holy Light contains no compassion, mercy, or other emotions; it is purely indifferent, which is completely different from the Him that Lilith knows.
Lilith guessed that the reason she was able to drink blood from the real world without any scruples before was because she was fighting against the will of the angel fragment at the time, which allowed her to take advantage of the situation.
Now that he has lost his will, he naturally wants to settle accounts with Lilith.
The violent holy light continues to ravage the source, and a large amount of the source is being lost every second.
Lilith's heart was bleeding, and she had to scale back to offset the delays in evolution caused by the losses.
But her persistence did not bring success; instead, it brought the arrival of another enemy.
"This is the origin of the Ring Realm? I didn't think there was anything inappropriate for children here, so why is there holy light everywhere?"
Modi emerged from the newly torn rift, looked around, and unleashed his spiritual senses without restraint.
Everywhere you look, there is blinding light.
Under intense sunlight, each color in the source becomes brighter and more vibrant, then gradually fades and disappears until it becomes pure white.
Even his body was not very adapted to the light, and he had to adjust his body structure to reveal the appearance of a red dragon.
The dragon scales stood up, and below them, blood-red tentacles extended, acting as sensors to capture information from the surroundings.
From all directions, a vast amount of information permeated the air, and this information all rushed toward Modi.
In just a short while, his understanding of the Ring Realm improved significantly, and he also managed to raise his authority level in the process.
"No wonder so many mages pursue entering and exiting the Root. If you were in a high-energy world, you could make a fortune just by entering and exiting the Root."
Of course, there are risks involved. First, you have to make sure you don't get overwhelmed by information. Second, you might attract the wrath of the world's will, the suppressive force, and other such things.
Those who are truly capable of doing this either intend to make a quick trip and then escape to the outside, or they have the confidence to withstand the pressure.
Some lucky individuals will find a world without a global will, where they can enter and exit the source with almost no worries.
Modi is the kind of person who has the confidence to stand his ground. He has grand ambitions and wants to take the source along with the world's will.
The biosensors were still functioning, but as the information gathering progressed, Mordy's expression became increasingly strange.
"It seems there's a war going on at the root, meaning someone got here before me."
He re-examined the pervasive holy light, these intangible things that had spread around him, and the blood-red tentacles recoiled in pain upon contact with it.
"It seems that besides Lilith, the other side in the battle is the Lord of Holy Light, but... why does this light seem a little familiar?"
He couldn't tell anything from the first contact, but once he did, he could tell, and his expression gradually turned ugly.
"Why does it look so much like the body parts of the God of Light? And the diluted kind at that."
He himself possessed a diluted fragment of the God of Light's corpse, except that it was now called the Sprout of the Mind, and he was naturally extremely familiar with similar things.
When faced with this dangerous object, Mordy became serious, pondering how to deal with it.
It's definitely not good to leave it in someone else's hands; such a dangerous thing should be properly kept by him.
Although the idea was somewhat shameless, Modi had made up his mind to take back the fragment of the God of Light that rightfully belonged to him.
The scarlet whiskers disappeared beneath the scales, the upturned scales returned to normal, and the seven-headed, ten-horned red dragon spewed blood mist from its body, crashing headlong into the pure white curtain on the other side.
As the blood mist came into contact with the white light, it sizzled like roasting meat. With the balance shifting, the red dragon eventually broke through the light and created a path.
The dragon's roar spread, announcing his entry into the battlefield.
Lilith was locked in a fierce battle with the Holy Light when she suddenly sensed another force invading her domain, which filled her with resentment and anger.
"Another one! Does he really think I can just come and go as I please?"
She focused her senses to the maximum, and upon closer inspection, she was so startled that her movements slowed down by half a beat.
A terrifying seven-headed beast, shrouded in blood mist, charged towards her.
Behind it, an endless line of blood stretched out, a vast ocean of blood.
"That's... the kingdom of gods?"
Lilith, who manifested as a charming woman, was momentarily stunned, then mentally cursed aloud.
Which god would just start a ramming attack on their divine kingdom at the slightest disagreement?
She didn't know that Modi was a special deity. The Blood Sea was both a divine kingdom and himself, and it was much harder than ordinary divine kingdoms. So when he hit someone, he naturally didn't feel any pain.
The sea of blood was immense, sweeping in with waves of blood as its spearhead.
Both sides noticed it and, quite tacitly, stopped fighting, intending to test the newcomer's attitude first.
The Holy Light also feared this foreign deity, for the divine kingdom was so vast that it could not help but be wary of it.
They even decided that if the other party was after the root of the problem, they would be willing to concede some of their interests and cooperate with them.
Lilith, however, was much more pessimistic, basically concluding that the god was only after her.
If not, then there's no need to delve into the root cause.
With the idea of striking first, she attacked the boundless sea of blood.
The witch factors from the Root Records took effect simultaneously, unleashing countless abilities that worked together on the surging sea of blood.
At the same time, she is also recording the degree of impact of different abilities on the Blood Sea in order to determine the most effective ability against it.
Under her expectant gaze, the waves did indeed recede, but only slightly; the entire sea of blood was still crashing down on her.
Seeing that she couldn't stop the sea of blood, she looked at the red dragon leading the sea of blood, her gaze turning slightly cold, and casually pulled it away.
A massive rift lies across its path; if it were to crash into it, it would be sent crashing into the void beyond the boundary.
As for why she didn't use this technique on it, it's because there's a certain force field around it that resists all foreign forces, so Lilith simply can't do that.
"A spatial rift? You think you can banish me with just that? Aren't you being too naive?"
Modi's seven heads revealed different expressions. With a sudden flap of its wings, it spoke in dragon language and instantly smoothed out the cracks. At the same time, the AT field was fully activated, sweeping away everything in its path.
Some cracks that hadn't yet opened quietly closed under his will.
The road ahead was now clear, and the red dragon, with its momentum undiminished, crashed into the battlefield.
Blood mist filled the air, dissolving large swaths of holy light and the records of the origin. For a moment, Lilith could not hide the resentment in her eyes.
The Root Records are her life, and Red Dragon's actions are clearly sending a hostile signal.
"You, an alien deity, also covet the Root and wish to be my enemy?"
"Covetousness? What makes you say that?"
The seven-headed red dragon wore a human-like smile and shamelessly said, "The source is the natural treasures nurtured by the Ring Realm, and naturally, it belongs to the virtuous."
"As the funder of Huanjie, I am among the most virtuous of the virtuous, and the source should naturally belong to me."
As he spoke, his head began to wriggle and transform into a series of human faces, all of which were Modi's features.
"It's you?!" Lilith's almond-shaped eyes widened, her face contorted with rage.
She could never forget that it was this outsider who imprisoned one of her avatars.
"Yes, it's me. But I thought you would be grateful to me, but I didn't expect you to treat me like this."
Modi looked disappointed, shaking his head as he said, "I went to great lengths for the birth of the Ring, investing a lot of world essence, but you won't give me any. I have no choice but to take it myself."
As he was talking, he directly invoked his permissions and transferred some of the root source records to his own name.
Her strength suddenly dropped, and she felt weak all over. Lilith found it hard to believe, but then she remembered some clues.
"Did you provide the source of power for the past few days?" She stared at the seven-headed red dragon, her question tinged with doubt, but deep down she believed it to be 70%.
Modi nodded. "That's right. Otherwise, you'd drain the real world dry. A complete but weak world is still quite valuable."
His tone reminded both Holy Light and Lilith of a certain type of person, someone they had heard about before.
World traders, astral merchants... these people have many names, but they all like to do the same thing—trade.
From local indigenous currencies to the entire world, everything is on their invoices; basically, as long as you have money, you can buy anything.
Besides normal trade, these people have developed another way of doing things: global investment.
They invest in developing worlds, and once those worlds have grown to a certain size, they reap the rewards. Few worlds can escape their entanglement.
They even gave this game a great name: "The Ladder to Heaven".
"Could he be a traveling merchant from the stars?" Lilith considered this possibility, but immediately dismissed it.
Even if he is, she cannot back down; the Ring Realm is the key to her revival, and even to taking it a step further.
If she wants to become the superior of the Witch Path, and even the final "The Law of Cycles", she must become the world and complete the closed loop.
"How did you get to the Root? I clearly severed my connection with the incarnation; you couldn't possibly have found the Root by following her."
While distracting the red dragon through conversation, she secretly contacted the Holy Light, who was observing from the sidelines, making various promises in an attempt to bring him into her camp.
The cold, ruthless holy light began to plot and calculate, a flicker of interest stirring within it.
The combination of some roots and a fragment of a god's kingdom is not a loss for them.
Moreover, He sensed a familiar aura emanating from this deity, something akin to the fragments of holy light He had once swallowed. If He could devour it, He would benefit immensely.
Before He could make a decision, Mordi took action.
He ignored Lilith's question, and his seven heads whispered a command. The sea of blood behind him then transformed into a poisonous dragon, coiling around Lilith.
