Chapter 208: Lure the snake out of its hole
This time, we met the real leader of the Hidden God, a gray-haired old man with a tiny diamond-shaped metal particle on his forehead. He wore a white coat, exactly the same as the white coats worn by researchers on Earth.
However, this coat is also armor, which Zhou An can tell at a glance.
The leader looked at Zhou An and said, "You won. I have to change my plan for you and take the risk of letting you participate in the real Conferred God Plan."
Lady Jiuxuan said: "We can't be sure whether you are from the God Clan. You are improving too fast. We all suspect that the God Clan is helping you secretly.
But what you are practicing is definitely not the Art of Concentrating the Mind. The Gods are currently unable to fully analyze the skills that surpass Concentrating the Mind.
In addition, in the past two years, the members of the Hidden Gods that you killed were all confirmed by us to be members of the God Clan, which makes us confused again.
The first time you killed Yufeng Zhenren, we thought it was a deliberate self-torture trick by the gods. We knew Yufeng's identity and asked you to replace him. That's why we pulled you into the Shenyin so that we could monitor you more."
"So my guess is correct. You use the Conferred God Platform to lure out the gods. But you look like a god, right?" Zhou An looked at the leader. He had just seen the system introduction of the Divine Whip, which mentioned the rebellious gods.
"Yes, I am indeed a Protoss from a distant planet. We fled our original galaxy due to a catastrophe and discovered this planet five thousand years ago, planning to settle here.
It turned out that there were many intelligent life forms here. We initially hoped to communicate with the life forms on the planet and coexist with them. However, many of our people were too arrogant and used force, which resulted in a severe blow and the loss of most of our troops.
For this reason, after we escaped, we secretly investigated this world and learned its language. After learning the truth, we were very envious of the fact that people in this world had such powerful bodies and could live so long.
So we began to slowly infiltrate into this world, learn the skills of this world, combine our own technology, create the Mind Concentration Technique, and slowly build up a race of gods.
At the beginning we were all very low-key. At that time, the Celestial Empire still existed, as did Emperor Kaiyuan. His power even frightened the gods.
Later, Emperor Kaiyuan left, the Celestial Empire split, and the struggle for hegemony among all races began. Ambitious people within the God Clan also began to think about fighting for hegemony, which led to the Conferred God Platform and the War of All Races.
In fact, there have always been people within the God Clan who believe in the concept of peaceful coexistence. It's a pity that there are not many of us, and we have been persecuted by those ambitious people, and many of them have been killed, so we have lost the decision-making power.
We can only leave the Gods, because the humans are basically the same as us in appearance, hiding among the weakest humans. You all know more or less about the war that followed, so there is no need for me to explain too much."
Long Xuan was so surprised that he even forgot that his beloved disciple had just died. He asked, "There shouldn't be many of the God Clan left now. Why did you want to lure them out?"
"The Gods were naturally unwilling to accept this. They learned from their previous failures and hid among the humans, preparing to continue to rely on the humans to control the world. At this time, Zhou An suddenly rose to prominence, so I thought he was the one chosen by the Gods.
If they rule Kyushu, I am afraid that the history of the gods will repeat itself in the future. They are too ambitious, and after combining the cultivation methods of this world, they will master even more amazing power and return to our galaxy to launch a new war.
I don't want to see the war restart because these people, my family, friends, and students all died in the war.
Now, I have finally found a new family in Kyushu Continent. I don't want to experience the same fate again. So I must destroy their plan. I found Jiuxuan, who was full of hatred for the gods as well. Later, she gradually organized the Shenyin. "
After the leader finished speaking, he looked at Zhou An and said, "Now I need your strength. If you are willing to help us, I will give you the technology of the Protoss, but you must promise me that in addition to ruling this world, you will not wage war on other worlds."
Zhou An shook his head and said, "I can't do it."
"You!" The leader frowned. He agreed that Zhou An could rule the world and thought that this condition was already very generous.
Lady Jiuxuan frowned and said, "Why? Are you like those ambitious people in the God Clan, and want to seize other worlds?"
"Of course not, but I will not stop in this world. The world is big, and I will definitely go out. I can't let the technology of the gods limit my steps." Zhou An spoke frankly. After understanding the real situation, he already had an idea in his mind.
The gods definitely exist, but due to resource constraints, their technological weapons cannot return to their former peak. In addition, with the decline of spiritual energy, it is difficult for the gods to cultivate to a high level. Otherwise, there would be no need for them to hide until now.
It is estimated that the most powerful ones are only at the Earthly Fairyland level, and their number must be small, at least there are few high-end fighters who can influence the situation.
Seeing the leader's hesitant expression, Zhou An smiled and said, "Although I don't accept your conditions, we can still cooperate. All you want is a stable life, and I will not let my people fall into war.
As long as the threat of the gods is eliminated, you and your family can live here forever. As long as you don't do anything that harms the Qianyuan Empire, I won't cause trouble for yourself.
Now we continue to cooperate and eradicate the Protoss, and then you can live in seclusion and live the life you want, how about that?"
"Really?" asked the leader.
“You should have seen the development of the Qianyuan Empire. In any war, I have never affected the common people. Only this time when Yuan Heng attacked Qianjing, there were some casualties.
The same will be true in the future. I cannot guarantee that others will attack me, but if I take the initiative to attack, it will definitely not affect the people of Qianyuan."
Zhou An already knew that expanding the territory could gain imperial fortune, and expanding the territory was a must, so naturally he would not agree to his conditions.
The leader sighed. He had no other choice now. If he went to war with Zhou An, not only would the outcome be unpredictable, but even if he won, it would be a pyrrhic victory. At that time, the gods in the dark would surely take this opportunity to wipe them out in one fell swoop.
"What a pity! I thought I could see a wonderful fight from you." Suddenly a man's voice was heard from the hall, and then several streams of light flew down, revealing 13 men and women dressed like ordinary cultivators.
These people's clothes may seem to be just ordinary cloth, but they are actually armor.
The leader looked at these people, four of whom he knew, and snorted, "Aoi Si, you are not dead after all."
"Thanks to the mechanical body technology you developed back then, otherwise I would have really died under the whip. Curtis, I will give you one last chance. Return to the Protoss and we can write off the past.
You don't like war, so we can keep you from participating. You can lead your family to live peacefully as scientific researchers, how about that? "Aoi Si looked at the leader, with some expectation in his eyes.
"Do you think I will believe you? You have been lying all your life. You have deceived so many of your compatriots. My students have all been deceived by you and become victims of your war. I will never believe a word you say again in my life." The leader's face was full of anger. Thinking of the past made him angry.
Aoi Si spread his hands and said, "Your answer disappoints me greatly. There are not many old friends left. I was looking forward to your coming back. Well, then I can only let you die."
He waved his hand, and the clothes of the 13 armored warriors around him automatically changed into combat armor. At the same time, short blades flew out from behind him, spinning around him, with both hands facing the people in front of them.
"Be careful, they have combined the techniques and technology of immortal cultivation, and energy attacks will only replenish the energy of their armor."
The leader shouted, and his white coat transformed into a set of white armor. Six cylindrical objects flew over and floated beside him, transforming into wing-like suspension devices.
Taoist Long Xuan, Lady Jiu Xuan, and Mi Luo all took out their magic weapons, rushed forward, and each found an opponent.
Everyone else rushed towards Zhou An, and the flying blades floating behind them stabbed towards him.
Suddenly, the eight tribes rushed down from the sky and, relying solely on their physical strength, forcibly knocked back those who were approaching.
"Earthly Immortal Realm!" Feeling the fluctuations of the eight people's immortal essence, Kui Si showed a surprised expression. Looking at Zhou An, he said: "I know the strength of the Qianyuan Palace. There have never been these eight people. It seems that Emperor Qianyuan has hidden a lot of tricks. No wonder Curtis was forced to compromise with you."
Zhou An smiled and said, "The real culprit of the war of all races, let me see the power of the gods."
"Hmph, as you wish." Aoi Si's clothes changed into black and red armor, and four fist-sized spheres appeared behind him and changed into four claws.
Zhou An's mind moved, and the Emperor Sword and the Immortal Execution Sword shot out at the same time. Two claws flew out from Kui Si's side, blocking the two flying swords with their palms and holding the sword tips.
Then Zhou An waved his hand, and the Haotian Seal and Haotian Tower fell down, but were held down by the other two claws at the bottom and could not fall at all.
Aoi Si was surprised and said, "In the realm of innate great perfection, you actually have such a huge amount of true essence cultivation, and you can control four top-grade fairy treasures at the same time, but how long can you hold on?"
"The fluctuation of immortal energy, the earthly immortal realm?" Zhou An was not surprised. He had originally guessed that the gods should have the earthly immortal realm.
The leader fought with his opponent and shouted at the same time: "No, when he absorbed the energy of the Conferred God Platform, he had already reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm."
Aoi Si laughed and said, "That's right, I have now reached the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. As long as I absorb the power of the Yuan Shen that you have collected, I will be able to reach the True Immortal Realm. By then, the Kyushu Continent will be mine, and no one can stop me!"
