Chapter 232 The Supreme Being of the Main God Space, Lu Mingjun Arrives (4k)
Lu Ming's goal in returning to the Main God Space this time is very simple.
After completing the second seven-star difficulty horror movie dungeon.
With that, all that's left for him to become a seventh-tier challenger is the final Seven Star Curse dungeon.
As for the team-based competitive format of the horror movie dungeon, it's practically free for Lu Ming right now.
"Since the last time I transformed my mental strength in the God Space, it has brought about a series of positive chain reactions."
"I just don't know what benefits I'll gain from returning to the Main God Space this time."
Unlike ordinary ghost tamers, Lu Ming's biggest advantage as a transmigrator is his information gap, which allows him to know a lot of information that others don't, such as the true use of the Ghost Scissors.
Therefore, he has always been very clear about his path to advancement.
But as clear as it may seem, the idea that holding a wedding would integrate all the pieces of the Red and White Duo's puzzle and enhance the horror is ultimately just speculation.
This path can make a demon tamer an outlier among outliers, but no one has ever actually put it into practice.
No one knows if there are any unknown dangers hidden within.
Therefore, before the wedding officially takes place, Lu Ming needs to improve his basic attributes as much as possible, which is quite important.
Lu Ming used the Ghost Domain to return to Dachang City. While waiting, the sky had unknowingly darkened.
As a melodious bell rang, a terrifying eeriness spread through the surrounding space, causing everything to freeze in place.
A thick, viscous darkness, like mercury, writhed and devoured everything.
Countless tiny white lights appeared in front of Lu Ming, and these lights gathered together to form lines of small characters.
[Congratulations to the challenger for completing the fourth stage of the main quest in the ??? world, surviving for forty-five days.]
[Reward received: 10 attribute points (already issued)]
[Completed Level ? ? mission. Congratulations to the challenger for earning 20 points.]
The appearance of these lines of small white text signifies that Lu Ming has completed the main quest for this stage.
It's called a survival mission, but for Lu Ming now, survival is not a problem at all.
Rather than saying this is the development time given by the main god panel, it's more accurate to say it's the time allotted for development.
Changing the task from "Survive in the world for forty-five days" to "Develop in the world for forty-five days" doesn't feel out of place at all.
As he thought about it, the void of darkness before him gradually solidified.
"View the current properties panel".
With a thought, a semi-transparent panel that only he could see appeared in front of Lu Ming.
Available points: 10
【Mental Power: 209】
[Stamina: 4]
【Strength: 5】
【Speed: 5】
【? ? ? 】
Without any hesitation, Lu Ming immediately added all 10 remaining attribute points to his mental strength.
[Mental Strength: 209] → [Mental Strength: 219]
The changes brought about by this stat increase are still significant; the changes were not insignificant despite the already high base stats.
The most direct benefit of increasing mental strength is that Lu Ming's control over the Deceitful Ghost has become more stable.
The several malevolent spirits within him do not affect Lu Ming himself due to their unique nature; their influence largely stems from Lu Ming's powerful mental strength.
"If the strength of one's mental power can continue to increase, reaching a certain critical point, and undergoing another transformation, it is not impossible to eventually break through the upper limit of the God Space and become a special existence."
After doing all this, Lu Ming immediately used his points to redeem a Teru Teru Bozu doll.
The teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll) that I used to wear on my waist was damaged when it was fused with the Blood Umbrella in the mysterious resurrection world.
Regardless of whether Lu Ming will need the teru teru bozu (a type of doll used to ward off bad luck) to maintain the stability of his physical body in the future, it has become a habit for him.
The 200-point Sunny Doll and the 300-point body repair are just small expenses for Lu Ming, and there's no need to save points on such trivial matters.
As mentioned before, points are earned, not accumulated.
Not to mention that if he wants to advance his Challenger rank now, he must complete the highest difficulty Seven-Star Horror Movie dungeon, so simply accumulating experience is no longer very useful.
···········
In the main god space, all around was pitch black, with only distant, unreachable places where specks of light appeared—orbs of light that seemed to be breathing.
Lu Ming didn't see many other challengers. He figured nothing major was happening, and most of the other challengers in the High Dimension God Space probably lived in the main city.
The High Dimension God Space did not have a dedicated rest area, but it did have a so-called "main city." Lu Ming's previous impression of this place was that it was a dilapidated and desolate place.
Moreover, the security situation doesn't seem to be very good. The group gathered here is a bunch of troublemakers, and there's no organization in charge of unified management, so everyone is incredibly undisciplined.
In this place, might makes right.
I originally planned to return to the God Space and immediately participate in the next seven-star difficulty horror movie dungeon.
However, the difference between the high-dimensional main god space and the low-dimensional main god space is that, although the choice of dungeons is relatively free, the seven-star difficulty horror movie dungeon will only refresh under specific circumstances.
Just like last time.
Once the blood-red orb appears, it will attract the attention of almost all challengers.
Those who are able to complete the dungeon challenge are extremely rare.
Knowing the difficulty of the Seven Star Horror Movie dungeon, most challengers simply chose to give up and give up.
Only a very small number of challengers who are both capable and ambitious will continue to take risks and try new things.
I hope to forge a new path in this hopeless world.
"Since the next seven-star difficulty horror movie dungeon hasn't spawned yet, we'll just have to go back to the main city and wait."
Approaching the dim sphere of light, Lu Ming slowly reached out and touched it.
The next moment, just like every time he entered a dungeon before, Lu Ming entered the main city.
The place was just as desolate and dilapidated as before, with cracks all over the roads and foul-smelling sewage flowing between them.
Many of the old streetlights on both sides are broken, and even those that are still working properly have dim, yellowish lights that flicker from time to time.
Lu Ming didn't care about the environment; he planned to find a random place to wait for the next seven-star difficulty horror movie instance to appear.
His steps were slow, and from an observer's perspective, his movements were stiff and sluggish, like those of an old man in his twilight years.
But in reality, Lu Ming moved at an astonishing speed, and his way of walking was extremely bizarre.
In just a few steps, they appeared in a very far place.
Just then, his expression suddenly changed, and he stopped in his tracks.
Lu Ming sensed a strange aura.
The streetlights on both sides of the road had gone out at some point, plunging the surroundings into an eerie darkness.
This darkness could not block Lu Ming's supernatural perception, but the problem was that Lu Ming could clearly sense that there was no one in this darkness.
“It’s the sewage under our feet. There’s something wrong with this sewage.” Lu Ming didn’t panic at all; instead, he remained very calm.
He coldly surveyed his surroundings and quickly pinpointed the source of the strangeness.
The sewage flowing through the cracks reflected an eerie, ink-like darkness.
Unknown dangers lurk in these shadows.
"Another reckless challenger?"
Lu Ming recalled the two challengers he had easily killed in the main city.
He had long forgotten the names of those two people.
After all, they were just two nobodys, and no matter how much they jumped around, it was all for naught.
I never expected that those two guys, who could reach the sixth rank and were still so stupid, were not the only ones I ran into. I just returned to the main city and I ran into them again.
"Come out, there's no need to hide anymore, your disguise is just too clumsy."
Lu Ming's cold, stiff voice came from his throat.
A brief silence fell over the surroundings.
Then, a soft sound of running water was heard.
The dark shadow broke through the water's surface, coalescing into a mass that almost solidified... eventually forming a rough human-shaped outline.
What appeared before Lu Ming was a completely unfamiliar face.
This was a man in his early thirties. His appearance was somewhat effeminate, and his face was unnaturally pale, like a vampire who hadn't seen the sun for many years.
“Mr. Lu, we were right about you. You are very capable. Although we don’t know exactly what it is, you must have terrifying potential… Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Tang Song, a challenger who is just doing it for fun.”
Lu Ming didn't give the challenger, who claimed to be from the Tang and Song dynasties, a friendly look, and said coldly, "If you have something to say, just say it. If not, I'll just take action."
“Mr. Lu, there’s no need to rush. I think we can be friends, not enemies. I’ve come here with the sincerity of the Central Chamber of Commerce to invite you to see the true face of this high-dimensional god space.”
Lu Ming was quite interested in the true nature of the higher-dimensional divine space that Tang and Song had described.
The reason why the Central Chamber of Commerce mentioned by Tang Song would approach him was probably because he had speed-cleared the seven-star difficulty horror movie dungeon, Tomie World.
In the beginning, his title of "Heavenly Killer Star" meant nothing to those truly high-ranking officials.
However, being able to clear the horror movie dungeon on seven-star difficulty deserves the respect of all challengers.
It's normal for the Central Chamber of Commerce to send someone to negotiate.
But Lu Ming had absolutely no intention of joining this so-called chamber of commerce.
Regardless of their own strength.
Back when Lu Ming was still not fully capable, he showed a tough attitude towards the headquarters in the mysterious resurrection world, not to mention now, he no longer needs to rely on anyone.
Lu Ming nodded and said, "It's no problem to learn about it."
Just when Tang Song thought Lu Ming was about to agree, he heard that cold voice ring out again.
"However... I don't like your attitude at all, and I don't want it to happen again."
The moment the words were spoken, the sound of dripping water came from below.
Accompanying the sound of water was the faint, ethereal sound of a woman weeping.
Tang Song's face grew even paler; his instincts told him that something very dangerous was about to happen.
The crying sound was elusive, sometimes seeming to come from a far away place, and sometimes it seemed to be right next to his ear.
Suddenly, Tang Song felt something sticky on the back of his hand, as if something had stuck to it.
He instinctively raised his hand and saw that it was stained with thick blood.
Moreover, the bloodstains were not only on his hands, but also at Tang Song's feet, and continued to spread.
It smells fishy, sticky, and cold.
It gives the impression that it will continue to spread until it becomes a lake formed from a pool of blood rain.
Tang Song instinctively wanted to use his advanced abilities to return to that stinking sewage.
Strangely, he can no longer do this simple operation at all.
The ghost blood beneath his feet seemed to possess a special power, capable of suppressing the high-level abilities that Tang Song himself possessed.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
The rain grew heavier and heavier, accompanied by gusts of cold wind that chilled one to the bone.
This entire street seemed to be isolated, forming a ghostly space completely different from the outside world.
Whether it was his imagination or not, Tang Song even felt that everything he saw was slowly fading from its original color, turning into a hazy gray...
"Are you kidding me?"
"How exactly did they do that?"
"The intelligence is false... The intelligence is definitely problematic, or at least inaccurate. Lu Ming possesses far more than just one or two abilities; otherwise, he couldn't have achieved this effect..."
Tang Song cursed inwardly, thinking that the people in the Chamber of Commerce were utter idiots.
If he had known beforehand how terrifying Lu Ming was, his attitude would have been ten times, no, a hundred times, more respectful.
The ability to isolate a supernatural space and possess so many terrifying methods was something Tang Song had never heard of or seen before.
"The challengers who face Lu Ming are all unable to use their abilities and become like ordinary people, but his abilities are stronger than all of them. How can this be a game? Isn't this cheating?"
Tang Song broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
If he were playing a game right now, then you could call him a cheater, since he'd be completely unplayable.
But this isn't a game; it's reality.
If someone cheats in a game, you can call them a cheater.
But in reality, when you're cheating, you can only call someone "daddy."
···········
When Tang Song looked up again, he saw that there was a thick curtain of rain in front of him, and the red blood rain formed a scarlet curtain between him and Lu Ming.
Through this curtain, Lu Ming's face and figure had become blurred.
Tang Song could only make out a blurry, white figure dressed in mourning clothes...
No, it wasn't just a figure.
Instead, there are two paths.
Beside the white figure, there was also a bright red figure.
One in red, one in white; one crying, one laughing—they stood together in the rain, sharing a single, blood-red umbrella.
Blood rains from the sky, ghosts weep in the night.
A terrible thought popped into Tang Song's mind.
He's really going to die here!!!
