A biting cold wind blew through.
In a desolate wasteland, near the overgrown wreckage of cars, a figure suddenly appeared.
Su Ziyu gazed at the drifting gray-white snowflakes around him and couldn't help but sigh softly, "It's winter already, huh?"
He remembered that the last time he left, it was almost autumn, and he had no idea how much time had passed in this world. Su Ziyu looked around to determine the direction, then rose into the air, flying out of the wasteland. Perhaps it was because the Energy Level of the Wasteland World was too low, Su Ziyu felt that the consumption of Spiritual Flight had increased significantly, nearly twice as much as in the Hundred Demons World.
The Energy Level of the Wasteland World is 1, while the Energy Level of the Hundred Demons World is 2.
Su Ziyu attempted to summon a trace of Spiritual Lightning, confirming that the consumption of Spiritual Energy indeed increased, as if this world had a subtle inhibitory force, unlike other worlds where one could easily mobilize Energy.
The higher the Energy Level of a world, the easier it is to mobilize Supernatural Power, and the more entities exist with special powers.
Generally, in worlds with an Energy Level of 2, entities like ghosts and undead are common, and in an Energy Level of 3 world, supernatural entities are already commonplace, and even ordinary people might have encountered them.
The Civilization Level is similar.
Civilization Level 1 is basically Medieval Civilization, Civilization Level 2 could be Modern Civilization, and Civilization Level 3 is typically Modern Civilization. As for a world with Civilization Level 4, Su Ziyu hasn't been there yet, but "Unstable Mechanical Ascension" represents Civilization Level 4, which he estimates might be an Interstellar Era Plane.
Su Ziyu flew into the air, observed his surroundings briefly, then descended. The Spiritual Energy consumption for direct flight was too high, so it wasn't efficient. He opted to swoop low instead, which consumed some physical strength, but his physique recovered quickly anyway.
Thud.
Su Ziyu's figure landed on the rooftop of the ruins, then dashed off, leaping and gliding nearly thirty or forty meters, then jumped again, appearing a hundred meters away. This method consumed less Spiritual Energy, and the speed wasn't particularly slow, it just required consuming a bit of Telekinesis during the glide.
He was unsure of his current location since everything around looked unfamiliar.
Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!
As Su Ziyu landed on an abandoned metal pipe, three large black rats suddenly emerged and lunged toward him.
Clang.
A flash of sword light swept past.
By the time the three large rats hit the ground, they were already corpses. Su Ziyu squatted down to examine them, poking the corpses with his hand and murmuring, "Have they mutated again? Or are rats particularly large in this area?"
These large rats were already the size of small dogs.
They emitted a tar-like odor, and the pipe seemed to have been used to transport oil in the past.
"Let's find a populated area first." Su Ziyu leaped away again.
About half an hour passed.
As Su Ziyu was speeding along, he suddenly heard some noise, which was an intense burst of gunfire, seemingly at some distance from him.
To the north.
Su Ziyu immediately changed direction, dashing toward the source of the gunfire. In the Wasteland World, firearms were extremely rampant, and almost everyone had a gun, even children. Judging by the intense gunfire, it seemed there were quite a few people.
Soon.
A massive ruin appeared in front of Su Ziyu. It looked like it had been hit by a nuclear strike; Su Ziyu saw a horrifying crater not far from the buildings, and the nearby mountains showed signs of severe collapse.
"Was this an oil field of the Old World?" Su Ziyu landed and surveyed his surroundings.
Another barrage of intense gunfire erupted.
By this time, Su Ziyu could already see some figures not far away, about a dozen people in total. Several modified off-road vehicles were parked outside the ruins, and they were constantly shooting at something, retreating bit by bit. Among them, what caught his attention was a large bald man with unusually thick arms, holding a six-barreled Gatling heavy machine gun, spraying a terrifying metal storm towards the ruins.
Su Ziyu got closer and heard what they were saying, in a familiar language, which had an absurd content that made even him chuckle.
"Namo Gatling Bodhisattva, six clean depleted uranium bullets.
Three thousand six hundred rounds in one breath, great compassion delivers the world."
"Praise Gatling Bodhisattva, when practicing profound Prajna Paramita, wielding the six-barreled weapon, transforming it into a supreme sacred instrument. One barrel, one sound, six character mantra, unmatched mantra, it says: Om mani padme hum. With a heart of compassion as vast as the sea, delivering all beings, far from the samsara world, eliminating the karma of five aggregates, escaping the Six Paths of Reincarnation, away from the suffering of eight hardships, no suffering, origination, dissolution, path, to the Western Pure Land. Six barrels with thirty-six thousand turns in one breath, never ceases delivering all beings. Great is the Gatling Bodhisattva; grand is the Gatling Bodhisattva. Gatling Bodhisattva Mahasattva."
Is this chanting scripture?
Su Ziyu looked carefully and found that the large bald man was actually Chinese, no wonder he spoke Mandarin so fluently, though his attire was a bit Westernized, making him look more like an armed bandit.
