Chapter 357 Chapter 357: Hunting God
[You have triggered a special event]
[After you chose to accept the mysterious female fortune-teller's visit in the middle of the night, she recited a verse filled with riddles to you after the fortune-telling ceremony. You can make out that the verse seems to hint at something related to the sacrifice of a princess from the Succubus race. The female fortune-teller is staring at you with a direct gaze, seemingly waiting for your response to the fortune-telling.]
[Faced with the riddle-filled female fortune-teller, what is your choice?]
[Option 1: Ask the female fortune-teller to explain in detail.]
[Option 2: Consider her a fraud and drive her out.]
[Option 3: Understand the implications and express gratitude.]
[Option 4: Notice that the female fortune-teller has a special identity, use your eyes to signal Zero to call Suthia and Nova over, and use idle chat to stall the female fortune-teller. Then, work together with your subordinates who have arrived to subdue the female fortune-teller, and expose her true identity as the Succubus Princess. After training her, make her completely surrender, and then continue to agree to the Succubus Queen's sacrifice of the fake princess. In fact, work together with the real princess to bind and transform the fake princess, and ultimately completely subdue the two Succubus Princess sisters, becoming tools for indulgence.]

With the closing of the clapperboard, Director Merlon announced the end of today's filming, marking a successful conclusion.
The first chapter, "The Rebellious Little Princess," ends here, stopping right at the point where Ashen will respond to the female fortune-teller disguised as the Succubus Princess, making the audience's hearts itch. While they scold, they still want to scratch their ears and cheeks and watch the next episode.
"You've worked hard, everyone!"
"Everyone did a great job today!"
Director Merlon rarely praises, but this time it's genuine.
He has directed many plays, but this time, every actor seems to be incredibly fitting with the characters in the story, giving him a feeling of being able to integrate their souls. This is the first time Merlon has felt this way, and he has to say, this feeling is really good.
After the filming ended, as usual, Renji headed straight to the Sin Tower, because according to his agreement with Lena, he should be able to unlock a new "diary" entry.
Just like the first time, as soon as Renji entered the Sin Tower, a reception Succubus who seemed to have been waiting for him, handed a room key to Renji.
However, this time, the color of the key has changed from the previous copper color to silver-gray, and the room number on it has also changed to 0723.
According to the number, Renji went to room 23 on the seventh floor and opened the door. It was still an empty room, but in the center, under the pink light, there was an open diary on the desk.
[On the seventh day of Lord Ashen's disappearance]
'Has it been a week already?'
With the previous experience, Renji was prepared as he looked at the diary, and as expected, a force from the diary pulled his spirit into the story.
….
Underneath the World Tree:
A huge, dark-red flower had blossomed here.
Although there was no wind underground, the petals were still fluttering, as if they had a will of their own. The dark-red color on the flower's surface seemed to be flowing, and the entire flower emitted a strange aura.
What caught the most attention was the center of the huge red flower, where there was a cocoon-like mushroom on the pistil.
The mushroom was also dark red, and Renji could vaguely see a curled-up elven woman inside the cocoon through the outer shell. It was Miyuki's body.
However, the current Miyuki's body seemed to be enveloped by the Miasma, and the mushroom was pulsating like a heart, as if it was nurturing a new life.
That's right.
It was not a Miasma creature, but after obtaining the body of an elf, even the will of Miasma would be "distorted" and "transformed" into a true living being, which could be described as a "life form" - a brand-new Mother of Miasma.
From the previous diary entry, Renji could see that Lena and Miyuki had succeeded and basically resurrected the Miasma Mother.
Since the final boss was not defeated, the game was naturally modified and no longer considered over.
Reflected in the world, it meant that Renji's soul as "Ashen" had finally stopped leaving.
This made Lena and Miyuki both breathe a sigh of relief.
But they both knew that this was only the first step in finding Lord Ashen, and the real difficulty was yet to come.
Lena began to frantically search through various ancient books and manuals, trying to find any records related to this in ancient races like the elves.
But in the end, the Succubus was disappointed. This level of secret seemed to be the first they had discovered, and there was no knowledge they could rely on. The current Lena was like groping in the dark, completely confused about the way forward.
This couldn't go on, and Lena ultimately made an incredibly crazy decision.
This was also the only way she could think of at the moment.
Lena's goal was to establish a communication channel with Lord Ashen, but there was no clue how to do so. Therefore, Lena decided to first establish a communication channel with an existence equal to Lord Ashen.
In other words, she wanted to go to another world and find those mythical creatures, the Giants.
However, using the word "find" was not quite accurate.
Lena knew that what she wanted was completely at odds with the interests and goals of the mythical creatures, and it was impossible to obtain through negotiation. The only way was to interrogate.
The look in the Succubus's eyes was fierce, just like when she used to leave home without a second thought for the sake of justice and go to the unfamiliar Ashen base.
Now, Lena was going to capture a mythical creature for the sake of Ashen.
She urgently needed higher-level information, answers to more truths, and more information about Lord Ashen, which only the mythical creatures could provide.
Although this was crazy, Lena was not going to die, nor was she acting on impulse. She came up with this feasible plan after a week of observation.
It was simple.
The feasibility came from the differences between worlds.
During this time, Lena had gone to many worlds through the World Tree, and she found that the levels of the worlds varied greatly. Some worlds had very low strength balance, and some were even weaker than half of their world.
Renji instantly understood that this should be the "difficulty" that players choose before the game. Different difficulties would affect the concentration level of Miasma in the world, the number of monsters, and the number of saving points.
For example, in the highest difficulty world, only one save point was allowed, which was extremely discouraging and unacceptable for many players. It meant that players could "restart" the game, but the range of backtracking was limited.
As for the world that chose to start with "low difficulty," the strength of the "protagonist" cultivated by the player after clearing the game would naturally be low. When the behind-
the-scenes creatures occupied the player's body, the final mythical creature generated would have a strength level not much different from that of the "protagonist." This also indirectly showed that the abilities of these behind-the-scenes creatures were not as mysterious and unpredictable as imagined, and their "status" in Lena's heart had decreased a lot.
This was how Lena finally made up her mind, consuming a lot of mental energy, and after multiple screenings, she found a very low-level world with only one "Calamity" level player's body occupied by a Giant creature. Then, she began her hunting operation.
