It is not a fanatical belief that transcends life, nor is it some extreme fetish hidden deep inside, Shia knows very well that his own psychological and spiritual aspects are perfectly normal.
Just because he looks like a cultist doesn't mean that he is blinded by madness.
In fact, Shia understands exactly what he is doing and what the consequences will be.
Ultimately, he started this ritual to communicate with the forbidden being in order to become stronger.
In order to become stronger, in order to have the power of revenge, he can do anything.
But don't get me wrong, sacrificing to the darkness in exchange for a brief period of power or whatever is too low for Shia.
And this way is easy to be compelled by some unnamed existence, after all, his dictionary can not be "equivalent exchange" such words, the greater the probability is to be eaten clean, and then become a walking corpse.
He simply wanted to communicate with the unknown witch through this ritual, to transport himself there, and then be killed by her.
By being killed, you can become stronger.
Doesn't that sound a bit unbelievable?
That night ten years ago, after Shia woke up from the darkness with his whole body recovered as before and found himself becoming stronger than before, it was also this incredible.
[The host has died and successfully reached the opening conditions, the Infinite Kryptonian Life System is at your service.
[Your level has been raised from LV.1 to LV.3!
At that time, the newly resurrected Shia was still immersed in sorrow and pain, and had no time to care about the sudden change in style brought about by the appearance of the system, so it was temporarily set aside.
And only after he left home for the royal capital did he have time to study the system's functions.
Apart from the slightly clichéd personal status interface, the only function of the system has just been mentioned.
Get killed, get stronger.
No matter what form it takes, as long as Shia's status finally arrives at death, then he will be instantly resurrected and receive a certain amount of experience value, thus upgrading.
This is like playing an online game where you can kryptonite, and as long as you have enough money, you can become an invincible soft-money player.
The only difference is that Shia has to kryptonite his own life.
In addition to kryptonite, no matter how he tries to use means other than the system, such as exercise, meditation, taking drugs and other methods to improve strength, there is no effect.
This is also one of the reasons why Shia must open this ceremony.
Of course, for what kind of people killed this point, the system still has restrictions, otherwise Shia has long become immortal existence, this alone is enough for him to be invincible.
Only limited to villains.
Only those who are defined as villains by the system to kill Shia can be resurrected and become stronger.
For example, on that night ten years ago, the army led by the knight in light armor destroyed Shia's village and launched a massacre, so bloody executioner behavior and the devil, naturally defined by the system as a villain.
So, after Shia was killed by the knight of the Sun family crest to resurrect, and relied on experience directly rose two levels.
In the years since he got the system, Shia has been very actively looking for targets that can be defined as villains by the system, actively provoking them and then being killed.
He succeeded and relied on this method to become stronger quickly in a short period of time.
But as his level gradually increased, the experience value he received after being killed by those villains became less and less, even to the point where he could not make him upgrade.
Shia could not help but start thinking.
According to the theory of online games, after their own level, low-level monsters will no longer be able to provide experience value, want to upgrade, you must find stronger monsters to kill.
Is this the same reasoning as fighting monsters to upgrade?
The stronger the villain that killed him, the more experience value he will get?
With this thought in mind, Shia started a new attempt.
This time, however, he no longer focused on the list of those unworthy mountain bandits, but focused on the list of wanted criminals in the empire, and searched for them one by one from the bottom to the top.
As expected, the long-stagnant experience bar began to soar again.
Unfortunately, it was still a good time.
Only about a year has passed, and the experience value that the vicious criminals can provide is gradually becoming insignificant.
Until finally, even the cult leader on the Empire's most wanted list with a bounty of over 10 million gold coins could not provide enough experience value after a spell was carried out on him.
The leader of the largest cult that had been wreaking havoc on the entire country definitely had the combat power of one of the top 20 strongest people in the empire, and was the originator of the horrific "Blood Moon Tragedy" that had brutally blood sacrificed tens of thousands of civilians in order to summon an evil god.
But even such a strong man, after killing him still can not provide experience value for Shia.
And at that time, Shia was only [LV.26].
If you want to continue to upgrade, you can only go to a more powerful villain.
To say that the entire empire, more powerful than the cult leader is not without existence, but those people, can really be defined by the system as a villain?
After some meditation, Shia finally turned his attention to a forbidden place.
If you spread out the vast map of the Rand continent, then you can find at a glance, in the northern most part of the continent, the gaping canyon area, there is a stained black ink like an area, where there is no human or other racial power range marked.
It is not that humans do not want to occupy there, but to try for many years, there is still no way.
The source of the curse, the kingdom of the dead, hell ...... Compared to various with theological color called, human scholars prefer to use the endless black fog to call that area.
The horrible black fog that enveloped half of the northern continent has existed for thousands of years, and where it passes, not a blade of grass grows, ordinary people will die instantly if they get a trace of it, even the empire's strongest people sent to explore can not survive for a long time within, many times without success.
It is impossible to trace its source, nor to predict its end, always exist, threatening, this is the endless black fog.
And according to the secret speculation recorded in the ancient books, these appalling black fog, simply a certain forbidden existence inadvertently spilled out of the power!
Legend has it that, at the beginning of the creation of the gods, there was once an extremely demonic woman on the continent of Rand.
The demoness was born unknowable and would bring a dark curse to everything in the world, wherever she went, death would come, and all the creatures she touched would wither and wither, and the whole world was filled with black mist, deprived of life, and the creatures of countless races died.
As time goes by, the witch becomes more and more powerful.
Later, she even has the power of the gods, just wave your hand, you can make the whole continent to destruction!
Eventually, this move of the witch angered the gods of creation.
In order to punish the Witch, He and several other gods joined forces and sent the Witch into the abyss, and used absolute power to seal her there, never to see the light of day.
About this forbidden existence, the book mentioned only so much, and basically are incoherent, half rely on Shia's own deduction to reach a conclusion.
But this information is enough.
If this world is compared to a game, then the extreme demon woman sealed in the deepest part of the endless black fog is definitely enough to be called a world-class villainous big boss in front of all players.
According to the description in the literature, the demon girl definitely has the power of the gods level, even the strongest person in the Hylan Empire to challenge, I'm afraid they can not take a move.
The mortal body can never be compared to the gods, this is one of the immutable truths of the whole continent.
But for Shia, there could be no better news than this.
According to the rules of the system, the stronger the witch is, the more experience value she can gain after being killed, and the faster her strength will improve.
He was already a little impatient.
"Since that's the case ...... then let's start."
After double-checking, Shia gazed at the strange pattern on the ground and said softly.
He slowly squatted down and covered his hands on the wooden floor.
