After a while, it fell out and was absorbed into the green-robed villager's backpack.
Seeing the dirt he had just punched loose, the green-robed villager was a bit stunned.
He was about to open his backpack and put the dirt back.
But then he saw an oval-shaped stone emitting a blue glow lying inside the backpack.
Seeing this stone, the green-robed villager was momentarily dazed.
"This... this is a diamond?!"
The green-robed villager immediately opened his notebook and began searching.
Soon, he found information related to diamonds.
[The people with words above their heads hold an oval-shaped, glowing blue stone. They look very happy. They call that thing a diamond.]
[They say diamonds are valuable and can be used to craft powerful armor and weapons.]
[They say some villagers can trade for diamonds, and those villagers are the most sought after.]
Looking at his previous records, the green-robed villager's heart couldn't help but tremble.
But at this moment, a question arose in his mind.
Those people with words above their heads called him a fool.
They said fools are useless, fools don't have a trading system, and they can't trade resources with fools.
The green-robed villager had previously seen those people take out materials and give them to other villagers.
Those villagers, who weren't called fools, would hand over various resources in return.
The green-robed villager had asked those villagers where those resources came from.
But those villagers couldn't communicate with him.
However, the diamond that just appeared in his backpack left the green-robed villager bewildered.
Could it be that he could trade too? Could he also obtain resources?
Thinking of this, the green-robed villager immediately reached out and began digging the dirt block in front of him.
When the dirt block fell, it was instantly absorbed into his backpack.
The green-robed villager opened his backpack again, and there was no trace of the dirt block.
But the number of diamonds in his backpack had become two.
Seeing this, the green-robed villager froze in place.
"The dirt turned into diamonds..."
"I can turn dirt into diamonds!!!!"
The green-robed villager immediately recorded this information in his notebook.
Then he flipped to another page and wrote a few large words.
[Villager Armament Plan]
Ever since infecting Pengpeng and that group, Xu Yuan had also made an appearance in front of the players.
Although the growth of Faith Value was not particularly significant, the growth of Fear Value was skyrocketing.
It didn't take long for Xu Yuan to accumulate 10,000,000 Fear Value.
"Finally saved enough!"
In these recent days of accumulating Fear Value, Xu Yuan had constantly been feeling Null's emotional fluctuations.
Since their last conversation, Null had not attempted to seize control of Xu Yuan's consciousness again.
Originally, after Xu Yuan killed Pengpeng and his group, Null's strength had increased somewhat.
But he still did not attempt to resist Xu Yuan again.
He remained quietly still.
His emotional fluctuations weren't intense either. It seemed he had slowly started to accept reality and let go. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NovᴇlFɪre.ɴet
This was undoubtedly good news for Xu Yuan.
Null was very clever, and Xu Yuan also feared Null might play tricks on him—pretending to submit while secretly plotting.
But from his observations over these days, Null didn't seem to have such intentions.
After all, he himself didn't even know he could gain rebirth.
He had already begun to slowly accept the fact that he was merely a shadow.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan bent down and touched his shadow again.
Immediately, a system message popped up.
[Do you wish to consume 10,000,000 Fear Value to activate the lifeform?!]
[Lifeform activation successful!]
At the moment of activation, Xu Yuan's body began emitting large amounts of thick black fog.
Xu Yuan could even vaguely hear screams of terror coming from within the fog.
The black fog slowly seeped from Xu Yuan's body, then began to condense in front of him.
In less than a minute, the fog condensed into a humanoid figure identical in height and build to Xu Yuan.
However, this humanoid figure was entirely pitch-black, and its face was completely indistinguishable.
It looked like an entity formed from Xu Yuan's shadow.
As soon as Xu Yuan finished speaking, the shadow in front of him opened its eyes.
Those eyes were identical to Xu Yuan's. They radiated the same intense white glow.
At this moment, Null couldn't help but look stunned.
He lowered his head and looked at his body, then he looked up at Xu Yuan again.
His mind seemed to freeze.
"This... is this the body you gave me?..."
Although Null didn't know what had happened, he could clearly feel that this body originated from Xu Yuan.
The power that made up this body was the same power Xu Yuan had granted him after killing others.
In other words, the person in front of him—whom he once tried to seize control from—had now, without holding grudges, used his power to create a body for him.
Hearing Null's words, Xu Yuan nodded.
After receiving Xu Yuan's confirmation, Null's heart was overwhelmed with mixed emotions.
This body was undoubtedly the greatest surprise of his life!
After accepting the fact that he was just a shadow, these days had been incredibly difficult for him.
But he had tried to slowly accept it.
Just when he was about to give up, Xu Yuan gave him what he had always dreamed of.
Null looked at Xu Yuan, his excitement leaving him speechless.
Thinking back to his past actions, he suddenly felt deep shame.
How many times had he foolishly tried to steal Xu Yuan's body?
Yet Xu Yuan hadn't held a grudge.
Instead, he had fused his power into a new body and gifted it to him.
Thinking of this, Null's guilt towards Xu Yuan intensified.
Only now did he realize how foolish he had been.
If he had accepted his place earlier, he wouldn't have tormented himself with such inner turmoil for so long.
He could have gained the body he longed for much sooner.
Why had he stubbornly fought against Xu Yuan?
At this moment, Null finally understood everything.
He took a few steps back and, imitating 007's earlier gesture, knelt on one knee before Xu Yuan.
"Please forgive my previous recklessness."
Null was born with pride in his bones.
Perhaps even he didn't expect himself to kneel before anyone.
But at this moment, his kneeling didn't bring him shame. Instead, he felt lucky and proud.
He was willing to follow a ruler like Xu Yuan. He was willing to give his life for such a ruler.
Previously, when he heard 007 say, "My King's will is my heart's direction," Null had scoffed.
He thought 007 was spineless. But now, he finally understood why 007 said those words.
At this moment, he truly empathized with 007.
As Null finished speaking, several system prompts appeared in front of Xu Yuan.
