There seems to be a power within it, a power that is extremely hot, as if it wants to burn the soul as well.

This burning does not destroy the soul; instead, it provides a special power. It is this power that drives the "marginal diminishing returns" phenomenon, where the stronger the power, the easier it is to enhance.

After the True Spirit was released, not only did Nemus's numerical values ​​begin to increase marginally, but his talent and comprehension also began to grow in this 'incremental' way.

Or rather, it wasn't talent or comprehension, but rather all of Nemus's positive qualities that were increasing.

Of course, these growth rates are not particularly rapid.

The most rapid change was the increase in the stats of the Nemus demon itself.

Nems really didn't expect that the growth rate was also increasing at the margin.

Initially, it took a day for Nemus to increase a single stat.

If you improve a little on the second day, you need to reduce it by one minute each day.

The reduction in time required each day is generally around one minute.

After the true spirit is liberated, the rate of improvement each day starts from one minute and increases at an ever-increasing rate.

Therefore, the current value of the Nemus Demon has reached three thousand.

Furthermore, the value is currently increasing at a rate of one point every two hours, and this rate of increase is accelerating.

Naims predicted that it wouldn't be long before he reached 10,000 points in a few months.

As for the value of 10,000 points, Naims had a vague understanding of it.

Judging from the fact that after he obtained the possibility of connecting with history through "external existence", his own status could not withstand it and quickly collapsed and split apart.

The same applies to numerical increases.

After reaching a value of 10,000 points, he might be able to continue to improve rapidly by relying on the "marginal increasing effect." However, once the value exceeds the limit, his position will not be able to support it, and he will probably be held up by his own strength even if he is not crushed to death.

"At that time, I will either grow to gigantic size and transform into a special giant life form such as a celestial body, an alternate dimension, or a dimension."

"Or it's self-imposed isolation, becoming a self-limiting process."

"If that's the case, then let's decide on this!"

"Within six months, I will kill the God of Discipline, thereby ascending to heaven, becoming the Demon Prince, and also the new God of Change!"

Nemus's thoughts shifted, and then he sensed that the changes in the Land of Slumber had been brought to the fore.

Meng He felt the pressure on his body ease, and all his sensations quickly dissipated.

“The Dartmenley family still has capable people.” Nems looked at the 'mud bubble' that appeared on the ground and his spirits lifted.

This mud bubble originated from a mud pit.

The previous End of the World also appeared as a mud bubble.

These mud bubbles are not uncommon in mud pits.

However, the current location is not a quagmire, but rather a place of slumber.

The accurate description is that it is in the same burial plot as Dartmentley.

After Nemus entered the Land of Sleep, he discovered the tomb of the second head of the Dartmenley family in one location.

There he obtained a broken 'Sword of Fortune'.

The sword belongs to Dina, which means that this grandson of Saint Datmenli, the only golden blood of the Datmenli family, really found Dina after finding the place of slumber, and even came close to the swamp.

The second generation even managed to bring out an unknown object left behind by Saint Dartmenley through some means.

However, his grave here also shows that he failed; he was unable to break the curse.

“The space of the Land of Slumber is also in a state of aggregation.” Nemus couldn’t help but recall the line written by the other seven ‘True Spirits’: ‘I don’t want to die!’

The spatial matter is in a state of aggregation, which makes it appear as if this place is empty, but from the perspective of the possible resting place of another world, the graveyard of Dartmenley can be seen.

They come together, yet they separate.

Menghe's spirituality broke down this barrier, allowing his true nature to be revealed to Nemus.

Looking at the mud bubbles, Nemus stepped forward and reached out to touch them.

At the very moment of contact, Nemus sensed a powerful dormant 'will'.

Nems did not resist forcefully and fell into a deep sleep following this will.

It was at this moment that Nemus sensed an area that seemed both real and unreal.

"The City of Silver!"

Chapter 722 Cards and Refresh

When Nemus heard about the City of Silver, he was taken aback, because Silver did not exist.

In alchemy, there are several very special substances: silver, gold, and mercury.

However, in this world, silver is a special concept, and even the concept itself is rarely known.

The reason for this is that silver does not exist in reality.

People simply used alchemy, based on the principle that the lower is like the upper and the upper is like the lower, and with the deduction of earth, wind, water, and fire, to calculate that there was such a naturally 'mysterious' substance.

However, for some unknown reason, they were unable to produce silver using alchemy.

As a result, 'silver' gradually became a conceptual symbol that has not been fully proven.

In some alchemical practices, silver can be invoked as a concept to participate in alchemical reactions.

However, it occasionally encounters significant problems and has always seemed somewhat unstable.

Therefore, even some alchemy masters cannot be certain of Yin Zhen's existence.

Nemus had studied alchemy before, so he found this somewhat strange.

However, because he was not particularly proficient in alchemy, he set it aside.

It was only at this moment that Nemus had a sudden realization—the silver was here.

Meanwhile, a long time ago, some of Naim's doubts were also resolved.

Blackstone, steel, gold, mythology.

Having just transmigrated and been reborn into this world, and having learned about the extraordinary power levels of this world, one thing that Nemus cared about most was—where was the Silver rank?

Where did the Silver rank, which is stuck in a rut, go?

However, it was later simply because the rules of the other world were different, which led to some discrepancies.

Judging from the current situation, silver may have indeed existed before, but was eventually 'destroyed'.

Nemus entered this seemingly real yet unreal Silver City and then discovered that a large number of 'people' lived in this city.

These people did not show any abnormality in response to Nemes' arrival, as if everything was perfectly normal.

"Boom boom boom!!!" A black and red wave appeared in the distance, which startled the people who saw it.

"How is this possible? Ghouls appearing in broad daylight, and here at that!" someone exclaimed in surprise.

"No matter what, let's run away first, or we might get involved in this soon." The other person's voice faded as he ran further away.

While Nemes was still observing, someone had already come to his side.

"Why aren't you running? Are you still not fully awake after being born?" As he spoke, the man pulled Nemus away and ran into the distance.

Since the other party was acting in good faith, Nemus followed them and left. However, during this process, he also quickly gathered various intelligence through external information.

At this time, Nemus also discovered that in this Silver City, the essence of his power was still there, and his true spirit and spiritual power could still connect with him.

However, if you force yourself to exert your power, you will wake yourself up from the 'dream'.

And in this city of silver, there seems to be a unique power system of its own.

It seems to be related to the so-called ghouls from before.

After escaping to one place, these people stopped running and watched from afar as the black and red fluctuations expanded and then enveloped a section of the street.

Through the black and red hues, it's as if they can see something inside the wine glass.

However, all of this seems somewhat distorted and blurry.

In that section of the street, some tall monsters with gelatinous skin appeared.

Besides them, there were also some people who looked a little dazed.

These 'people' are being killed by those tall monsters.

Just then, seven or eight people arrived from other places.

These people looked rather unwell, but they still rushed into the black and red without hesitation.

These people then drew cards one by one, and then summoned various phenomena to fight the monster.

And so, one of them seemed to have triggered some kind of state and immediately pulled out a card.

A desperate strike

[Origin: Ulala Tactical Training]

As the card transformed into light and merged into his body, the man instantly unleashed terrifying power, piercing the monster's head with a single swing of his sword.

When a monster dies, the course of the battle changes.

Outnumbered, the monsters gradually died.

The black and red color vanished in an instant, and several cards appeared in the air.

The group that had fought earlier gathered around the cards and quickly distributed them.

Nemus stood at a distance. Although he couldn't use his power, his senses were far beyond normal thanks to the blessing of his true spirit. Naturally, he also saw the cards that had been dropped.

There are other similar ones, but Nemes didn't look at them in as much detail.

For example, [claw attack], [skin gelatin], etc.

These cards are categorized into two types: [Skill-based] and [Modification-based].

Then the person who had been holding Naimus back started talking to Naimus as well.

"What's wrong with you? Don't you have any common sense?" the man asked.

Nemes shook his head.
