Latest viral post: 【What on earth is this Chaos Demon Seed event!!!】.
【Please Call Me Top Scholar: Family, who understands this? I was just minding my own business, happily singing along and about to clear the level. I was reaching floor 334 and about to see some legendary-tier knowledge.
But suddenly, a prompt appeared saying I triggered the Chaos Demon Seed event. A Demon Seed invaded my trial. I didn't even see who it was before a gale of wind blew me away. I slammed into a wall and passed out. When I woke up, I found out I had to start the trial all over again.】
【Black Magic Master: I triggered it too. I was on floor 369.
Suddenly, a blast of scorching fire surged toward me. Fortunately, I specialize in defensive magic and had stacked over a hundred energy shields, so I tanked the first wave and got a good look at the Demon Seed.】
【I Love Ogres: Whoa, a legendary-tier powerhouse! Let me bow first. So, what is this Chaos Demon Seed? A beast? Some kind of elemental spirit like a water or fire spirit?】
【Black Magic Master: No, the Demon Seed looks like a human infant, but its strength is immense.
If my perception wasn't wrong, the one I met already had mythic-tier power.】
【Saint: Black Magic, are you bragging? Mythic-tier? You think you could fight a mythic-tier being?】
【Black Magic Master: Look at you, getting all worked up. I never said I won. Even with my constant shield-casting, I couldn't last three seconds against the Demon Seed.
But I had better luck than the OP. After my shields broke, the Demon Seed didn't continue the fire attack. Instead, it let me pass.
The Tower Spirit even gave me four skill books. [Image] [Image] [Image] [Image]】
【Saint: Life-essence curses? I've never seen these. Is this some transcendent system from an ancient era?】
【Black Magic Master: Very likely. The logic behind these four curse skills is extremely unique. I've been deeply inspired.】
【I Am Not a Top Scholar: I refuse to accept this! Why does the Demon Seed I encounter just one-shot people while other people get a free pass? I'm going to complain! I'm lodging a formal complaint!】
【Goblin Collector: OP, stop shouting. If the Tower Spirit sees your post, you'll be in big trouble. Next time you enter the tower, they might drop you straight into the Source of the Plague's nest.】
【I Am Not a Top Scholar: I'll shout all I want! You think I'm afraid?!】
【Fire Magic Is Number One: Hey you above, you think Brother Scholar is afraid of that? Don't you know who the king of posters is in the Source of the Plague strategy section? Brother Scholar is the number one contributor. Out of every three trials he runs, he ends up in the Source of the Plague's nest once.
People call him the Tower Spirit's thorn in the side, the Source of the Plague's frequent guest, and the man who understands the Source of the Plague best.】
【I Am Not a Top Scholar: Tal, you're dead! Just you wait. During the school hunt in three months, I'm going to stuff you into a Sludge Elephant's backside!】
【Fire Magic Is Number One: Whoa, whoa! Why are you doxing me just because we had a disagreement? Where's your wizardly conduct? Where's your etiquette as a school teaching assistant?】
Once the first post went up, a second and third immediately followed.
Most of them were complaining about the Tower Spirit being inhuman. On top of that disgusting special boss in the Source of the Plague's nest, they had now added this Demon Seed event.
A small portion shared information on the Nephalem traits they had encountered. Soon, intelligence on the ten Nephalem was compiled by the challengers and turned into a strategy guide.
The life-essence curse skills obtained from clearing the event also sparked considerable discussion. However, because so few people could actually pass the Nephalem's test, the discussion remained relatively small and didn't cause a massive stir.
After the guides were released, challengers immediately began making targeted adjustments. They equipped large amounts of magic gear enchanted with shields and cast defensive spells on themselves in advance to withstand the Nephalem's attacks.
As for the Chaos Demon Seed event, the two tower spirits had not only followed Chen Xu's orders to include the four curse skills as rewards but had also arranged a vast array of other prizes. These included 99% off, 88% off, and 77% off Wanbao Pavilion vouchers.
There were also various vouchers and membership points; in short, everything was related to Wanbao Pavilion items.
Currently, almost every world that possessed a mage tower conducted trade with Wanbao Pavilion.
The two artifact spirits, Huangjinwu and Yan Ruyu, had previously designed other rewards, but they later discovered that challengers simply preferred the discount vouchers. Thus, they decided to switch everything to vouchers.
Time passed quietly. Half a year had gone by since the start of the Chaos Demon Seed event. Challengers around floor 300—those with strength between the epic-tier and legendary-tier—could now basically handle the Nephalem's attacks with ease.
Then, one day, the challengers discovered to their despair that the Nephalem had started getting serious.
“Big Brother, those challengers lately have become just like Uncle Kunpeng. They just act like turtles, taking hits without moving. It's boring.”
“Exactly, Big Brother. Why don't we just let loose? Anyway, Jinjin and Yuyu are watching. If the challengers can't take it, they'll just teleport them away.”
“Yeah! Yeah! I think so too!”
Nearby, Huangjinwu and Yan Ruyu looked at this group of little terrors with bitter expressions.
But there was nothing they could do. Chen Xu placed high hopes on these Nephalem. The two artifact spirits knew very well that their time in the mage tower was just a temporary phase; they would eventually be promoted and moved elsewhere.
Seeing that his younger siblings all felt the same way, Chen Xing clapped his small hands and made the decision. He told the Nephalem to stop holding back and use their full power.
And so, the challengers discovered in despair that their thick defensive gear and pre-stacked shields were like wet paper in front of the Nephalem.
Instantly, the wave of public outcry rose again.
This time, after the Nephalem defeated the challengers, they even shouted out their race's name.
The word 'Nephalem' began to spread far and wide.
Standing in the Source of the Plague's nest, Chen Xu collected some materials from the Source of the Plague and shook his head helplessly.
At this moment, Chen Xu felt a slight tinge of regret. The Nephalem were a bit too bellicose.
Perhaps it was due to their demon bloodline, but the newly born Nephalem seemed to possess infinite energy and were extremely fond of roughhousing.
Well, whatever. Let the children have their fun. After all, combat is the fastest way to grow.
Chen Xu sighed and tossed a piece of the Source of the Plague's rotten flesh onto a demon battlefield.
The two pieces of demon king flesh he had fed it earlier had been completely digested by the Source of the Plague. Now was the time to verify the results.
Afterward, Chen Xu went to the top of the Necrotic Archmage Tower and spoke to Sindragosa, who was guarding the place.
“Help Huangjinwu and Yan Ruyu keep an eye on things. Don't let any serious casualties occur among the challengers.”
“As you command, my Lord.”
Ever since she started looking after the Nephalem, Sindragosa had stopped bickering with Kunpeng. That was a bit of good news.
Kunpeng had now proactively headed to the demon battlefield. Having finally escaped, it was terrified of staying in the Undead Dao Court. It feared that if the Nephalem returned, it would be tormented again.
Kunpeng was even willing to abandon the Hell Archduke in front of the Overlord's Castle after only eating half of it. One could see just how much of a handful the Demon Seeds were.
After some more time passed, Chen Xu took Thor and crossed the void, arriving at a location outside the cosmic void.
Thor poked his head out from Chen Xu's sleeve and asked in confusion.
“Master, are you sure it's here? My astral bloodline tells me that the space ahead is truly a void with nothing in it.”
Chen Xu ignored him. Instead, he crossed his hands over his chest, forming loops with his thumbs and middle fingers, pointing his index fingers at each other, and touching his pinkies to the ring fingers of the opposite hands, creating a complex mudra.
At the same time, he chanted an incantation in a special language.
“Truth is immortal, the world is eternal; books carry the Dao, the library is hidden in the void.”
As the words fell, ripples spread through the void. A faint light flashed, teleporting Chen Xu and Thor away.
In the next moment, Chen Xu arrived at the Truth Library, one of the rare absolutely neutral forces in the myriad worlds.
