I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch-Chapter 309 - 284. Miss Evil Dragon, long time no see.

"Origin Soil... the Desirers of Life..."

Looking at this introduction, Xia Feng's dark pupils couldn't help but dilate in shock and suspicion.

"Damn it... so that's how it is!" At this moment, he realized much.

No wonder the investigative team, though aiming to investigate 'the Garden case,' had sent people into the Bailu Restricted Area to probe into White Emperor City.

It turned out to be related to the Life Roulette.

The citizens sacrificed in the Garden were 'the Lost People.'

The hundred thousand soldiers sacrificed in White Emperor City were 'the Desirers of Life.'

Had Lord Yeli Dong been plotting the Life Roulette for so long? Thinking of this, Xia Feng became even more puzzled. Could it be that the Life Roulette had been ongoing for thirty years?

After all, in order to plan ahead, Lord Yeli Dong naturally had to know in advance the information about the sacrifices at the Basic and Advanced stages.

The Archbishop Aus of the Garden probably obtained the sacrificial information in advance from Lord Yeli Dong, which is why he established the utterly abhorrent Garden, with the purpose of helping Lord Yeli Dong accumulate Life Points from the Lost People during the Basic stage of sacrifice.

However, the Life Points from the Basic stage of sacrifice weren't that significant and could only be considered an addition, probably not the focus of Lord Yeli Dong.

The Advanced stage of sacrifice involving White Emperor City was the focal point.

Amidst his reflection, Xia Feng continued to read.

[Sacrificial tool: Each player can obtain a "Divine Relic · Desire for Life Core," which can be used to create the Desirers of Life.]

[Desirers of Life: Within the domain of the Desire for Life Core, if the deceased had a strong will to live and their emotional nature tended toward unity, then their souls would be collected and sealed, forming a mechanical consciousness without autonomy—known as the Desirers of Life, existing in the form of Desire for Life Stones.]

[Note 1: Under the will to live, the emotional nature cannot be purely a fear of death. Those purely fearing death cannot become Desirers of Life.]

[Note 2: The first formed Desirer of Life will determine the emotional nature of that Desire for Life Core's domain. For example, if the sole reason the first Desirer of Life wanted to live was 'a strong desire to lose virginity,' then subsequently, within that domain, only those who strongly wish to lose virginity can become the Desirers of Life.]

[Note 3....]

[....]

This is mind-blowing. Xia Feng felt he needed to take a moment to process this.

So, what was the uniform emotional nature of the desire to live among the hundred thousand troops in White Emperor City? He furrowed his brows, lost in thought. Patriotism?

Not quite right. If it were patriotism, then their readiness to disregard life and death in service to their country would make them fearless, unable to form Desire for Life Stones.

Xia Feng shook his head. Although he couldn't figure out this point,

it was now evident that Lord Yeli Dong had gone to great lengths to create Desire for Life Stones, not to use them to create a Puppet Army but to obtain Life Points.

And the purpose of such an elaborate scheme to plan for Life Points was naturally not about acquiring spiritual materials or Spirit Paper at the auction stage...

After all, the Yeli family, as an ultra-powerful clan, possessed a variety of Rare resources.

Lord Yeli Dong's goal must be the Origin Soil, or perhaps the Sumeru Throne!

The Origin Soil was a special reward for the Advanced stage of sacrifice.

The Sumeru Throne, on the other hand, was the ultimate reward of the Life Roulette.

According to the rules, the purpose of this Life Roulette game was to determine the inheritor of the "Sumeru Throne."

The sole final victor would ascend the Throne and obtain the inheritance!

Xia Feng didn't know what the Sumeru Throne was, so he hadn't paid too much attention to it before. He only had one goal: to take advantage of his copying abilities to profit as much as possible from the game.

But he hadn't expected to stumble upon Lord Yeli Dong's stratagems.

Does that mean Lord Yeli Dong is among these people? Xia Feng looked up towards the blurred figures on the distant platform.

"No, that's not right either."

"It might not necessarily be Lord Yeli Dong himself; it's more likely a Puppet under his control, or a confidant."

Xia Feng stroked his chin, sinking into thought. For now, he had to assume that one of Lord Yeli Dong's confidants was present. The abundant Life Points and Life Trace Path rewards that Archbishop Aus had obtained were probably meant to be transferred to a confidant.

But they were intercepted by me... Thinking of this, Xia Feng's dark pupils narrowed.

In the eyes of that confidant in the shadows, player number 3, represented by Archbishop Aus, was already dead. Yet here he was, reappearing as number 3.

It seemed in the eyes of a confidant, either Archbishop Aus had faked his death wishing to monopolize the Life Points, or someone had employed some kind of sinister method...

Regardless of what the confidant thought, they had already set their sights on him, number 3.

Xia Feng carefully flipped through Archbishop Aus's notebook again, finding it completely blank with no habit of taking notes.

"Well, it doesn't matter, as I can simply sever the teleportation mark link."

Xia Feng wasn't overly worried, he planned to first squander the substantial amount of Life Points he currently possessed.

It was already the sixth round, and after entering the Advanced Sacrifice stage, the sixth round's trading phase commenced immediately, with the 18 survivors who remained opening private chat rooms.

Following the plan, Xia Feng found Mu Qingtong, player number 14, and Yue Hongli, player number 17, to complete the transfer and recollection of Life Points.

[You have received a 119-point transfer from player number 14]

[You have received a 34-point transfer from player number 17]

[Current Life Points: 299]

[You ranked second in the sacrifice standings of the last round (fifth round), with an additional 20-point ranking bonus——]

[Current Life Points: 319]

[Additional information display: Highest Life Points in the entire field!]

[Additional information display: First to reach 100/200/300 Life Points consecutively]

[Achievement reward triggered: 10 Life Points]

[Current Life Points: 329]

The trading phase ended quickly, and this time no one approached Xia Feng to exchange information, which disappointed him slightly.

He had hoped that the hidden confidant would come to probe, but unfortunately, the confidant was very patient.

Next came the auction phase.

According to Xia Feng's calculations, those in the field who had met the 9900 sacrifice standard, players number 27 and 2, had Life Points within the 130-150 range, making them the highest in Life Points aside from him.

Player number 27 was very generous, spending 103 Life Points to purchase two Legendary B-grade Spiritual Clothes.

Player number 2 was equally liberal with their spending but didn't buy Spiritual Clothes; instead, they spent 114 Life Points on various Venerable-level Rare spiritual materials and Fire Obsidian.

Xia Feng was not particularly interested in B-grade Spiritual Clothes and spiritual materials; to him, they were not very valuable.

He was only interested in A-grade Spiritual Clothes, but unfortunately, those wouldn't appear until the seventh round.

However, the other players didn't feel the same way; watching players number 27 and 2, they all nearly popped their eyes out with envy, merely sighing wistfully.

With players number 27 and 2 around, and number 3 consistently not bidding, almost no one had a chance to outbid these two, leaving other players waiting for these titans to deplete their funds.

As long as the titans, especially number 3, ran out of money, the rest would have their opportunity!

As the auction reached its midpoint, number 3 finally made a move.

Yes, an item of great interest to Xia Feng had finally appeared.

That was—the Life Trace Path!

Indeed, the Life Roulette had it all! Suppressing his excitement, Xia Feng decisively sealed the deal with a single bid, spending just 75 Life Points to secure it.

Subsequently, several other items that intrigued him gradually appeared, and he gathered them one by one: 20 Water Bright Stones, Rejuvenation Fruit, Void Fruit, 5th-level Spirit Storage Fruit...

Many were Spiritual Fruits he had never seen before, such as the Rejuvenation Fruit and the especially rare Void Fruit.

Of course, the most important were the 20 Water Bright Stones!

Adding those 20, he increased his Water Bright Stones from 40 to 60, and with two Life Trace Paths, he was now one major step closer to achieving Holy Release.

Then came the rare Spirit-injecting Fruit, but Xia Feng did not bid again.

After all, with Evil Dragon Miss around, there was no need to waste Life Points on such items.

However—

Speaking of Evil Dragon Miss, it had been over a month since he had last seen her...
