Chapter 184 Salted Fish Terminator
Seeing these information prompts, Zhang Yang hesitated.
Everyone wants benefits, but no one is willing to take responsibility.
Even though this was the village civilization he had created, he only wanted to complete the mission and never thought of treating it as a lifelong burden.
Are you kidding me? Guardian of civilization, it sounds cool, but isn't it clear how dangerous and flamboyant it actually is?
For example, in the current situation of the world, there are monsters, demons, a ghost tribe whose existence is unknown, and a big boss. It is really that easy to be a guardian. If you are not careful, you will die.
"So, I'm sorry, after all, I'm just an ordinary person, not a hero."
Zhang Yang sighed. He didn't want to bear this responsibility.
But at this moment, a line of information suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. It was a piece of data that described the current situation of this civilization.
"First-level civilization."
"Creator: Zhang Yang."
"Those who carried forward the cause: Zhang Wenyuan, Wu Lei, Wu Ya, Qin Ge, Zhang Liang, Lei Ming and 9,827 others."
"Current civilization durability: 98/1000, in critical condition."
"Current state of civilization: invaded."
"Current civilization wealth: Wuwei and Yanming counties to the west of the Tianliang Great Wall. If they are breached, the civilization will be destroyed, and all village building tasks generated in this civilization will fail. Think about the consequences of failure yourself!"
——
"I--"
Zhang Yang was confused and frightened. He really didn't expect that the village civilization he built had become so dilapidated, like a candle in the wind, crumbling.
But it is true that the territory that Wu Ya conquered after an expedition of thousands of miles was later reconquered and developed by Zhang Liang and Lei Ming. Of the 18 counties in the world, six in the southeast and one in the southwest have fallen into the hands of the demons.
The three northern counties are already under the control of Zhao Xianyu.
Of the four counties of the Tianliang Great Wall, the human race only controls half of them, and the three counties around Zhongdu County are already in the hands of the demon race.
Just imagine, if the territory falls into the hands of these foreign races, what will happen to the people living there?
However, his level 6 royal city was not counted as a village civilization. Apparently, what was lacking here was bloodline inheritance.
Without the blood-linked civilization, it is no longer a civilization.
"Okay, I accept the fusion."
There is no choice. If Zhang Yang does not want to be the guardian of this world, then he must immediately send troops to Wuwei County and Yanming County, otherwise civilization will be doomed.
Since civilization is destroyed, his mission of returning as a king cannot be completed. Obliteration is just the final outcome.
A ray of white light shot up into the sky, and at the same time, specks of green light began to pour into the white light from all directions, very little and very desolate.
A few minutes later, the white light dissipated, and the core village construction order in Zhang Yang's hand did not change much, except that there was an additional prefix of civilization in front of it.
Then, his Return of the King mission changed.
"The change from Return of the King to Guardian of Civilization shows that civilization is already riddled with holes. Even if all the powerful kings return, it will be useless. You need to protect it like you would a young seedling."
"Optional way to complete the mission 1: Kill all invaders, and your civilization will be saved, but you are destined to fail at this difficulty."
"Optional way to complete the mission 2: Go to Wuwei and Yanming counties in person, pack up all the soldiers and civilians there and bring them to your capital. Protect the spark of civilization before the storm arrives. Note: The number of people to be packed up and escorted cannot be less than 100,000, and the deadline is two years."
"Rewards for completing the mission: you will be awarded the title of Guardian of Civilization, +500 years of lifespan, and the qualification to enter the Xianxia world and start the Xianxia Village Building Mission (five incomplete Xianxia Village Building Orders are required)."
"Note 1: Since the civilization is weak and on the verge of collapse, your King's Return mission is doomed to fail, and you cannot obtain the Immortal Village Building Order. However, the title of Civilization Guardian is an exception, and it will allow you to get what you wish for."
"Note 2: Due to frequent travel through time and space (regular hero trials, lord trials, and extraordinary trials are not counted), if the bound person of the village building order fails to obtain the immortal village building order after more than ten times, he will no longer be protected by the village building order and will quickly age and die, and his soul will be annihilated. The only way to break the law is to go to the immortal world to find a way to live forever."
"Note 3: If you cannot find a way to live forever in the world of immortals, becoming a guardian of civilization is also a way out. For every level of a guardian of civilization you advance, your life span increases by 500 years."
——
"I'm—"
Zhang Yang was speechless. Was the situation already so serious? He couldn't survive any longer. He had to make a decision immediately because he only had two years.
"calm!"
"Bang!"
Zhang Yang gave himself a soul shock and woke up instantly.
"Why are you panicking? The biggest crisis facing my civilization right now is Zhao Xianyu. Yes, it's him. The human race's hidden dragons in Wuwei County and Yanming County can rely on the Great Wall to resist the demons and fight against the monsters. But Zhao Xianyu, who is under the banner of the human camp, is the biggest variable!"
"So, if I don't deal with Zhao Xianyu immediately, I won't have two years to waste."
"I must go to Zhao Xianyu's lair. I want to cut off the root of his faith! I was able to make you successful back then, and I can destroy you today!"
Zhang Yang made the decision in an instant, but before going to that world of gods, he still needed to deal with some things.
"Golden scales!"
Zhang Yang put the three golden talismans on it, and also put the high-level village building order from the red-skinned monster, the village building order promised to Zhang Liang, including the Abyss Village Building Order, the Sky Village Building Order, and even the demon soul of the demon dragon he had killed in a previous battle, the red-skinned monster's level 2 immortal soul, blood essence, bones, twelve thousand incomplete demon souls, demon blood, and all the materials that could be sold on it.
Well, the golden balance doesn’t only hold one resource at a time.
He is now going to start the ninth trading mode.
But the bad thing is that even though Zhang Yang put in everything he could, the Golden Balance was still in the eighth trading mode.
"Minato!"
Zhang Yang risked his life, "I want to sell the remaining five historical figures I can summon, and the seven points of royal energy I currently have."
This time, the golden balance finally changed, with colorful light and clouds, and the ninth trading mode was successfully opened.
On one end was Zhang Yang's entire property, and on the other end was a thin, purple jade slip.
"exchange!"
Zhang Yang gritted his teeth, and the next second, the golden scale disappeared, shattered, and ceased to exist. Only a cool feeling flashed through his mind, and a strange skill was instantly mastered and understood by him.
But this technique has no name, and the realm contained within it is indescribable.
But it really exists and is extremely magical.
No, this cannot be considered a certain technique, it is more like a certain idea, an idea left by a more powerful being.
Zhang Yang unconsciously began to practice according to this idea, and at the same time, he swallowed all the remaining thousands of first-grade foundation-building pills in one go, including the remaining blood and essence of the Jindan stage demon cultivators. There was no time to purify it, because he had a hunch that he only had this one chance.
This is a completely unfamiliar practice experience.
Zhang Yang felt that he had lost control, and was only driven by the cool thought, which stimulated his innate spiritual energy to operate in an incredible and wonderful way.
The spiritual effect of the first-grade foundation-building pill, as well as the spiritual effect in the demon cultivator's essence and blood, were undoubtedly stripped away and absorbed, very perfectly, without any residue. Even the demon cultivator's soul was crushed into part of the spiritual effect.
All I can say is that the idea of this practice is too overbearing and too against the will of heaven.
At this moment, Zhang Yang even felt that he had touched the end of the world. The mystery of this world was unfortunately just an illusion.
In just half an hour, he suddenly woke up and tried to find the nameless technique in his mind. Where was there any remnant? Only the amount of his life force aura had become 999.
But with so much innate spiritual energy, he didn't even trigger the foundation-building stage.
It was even quite steady, as if he could continue to cultivate more of his innate spiritual energy.
Just when I was wondering, a line of information appeared.
"You have activated the ninth trading mode of the Golden Balance (it must be activated with a complete advanced village building order). This trading mode will only appear once for every 100,000 people who are bound to the village building order. That is, after you activate it, other people who are bound to the village building order will no longer be able to activate it, including you."
"You have obtained a fragment of the divine thought of a Yuanying stage master during his cultivation. This fragment of divine thought can help you cultivate. The specific effect depends on fate."
——
"I see."
Zhang Yang was overjoyed. He called for the golden scale again, and it appeared as expected, but it seemed like something was missing.
"Then, should I complete the job transfer task and enter the foundation-building stage before looking for trouble with Zhao Xianyu?"
Zhang Yang was thinking so, and then several pieces of information suddenly appeared.
"Side quest: Salted Fish Terminator, do you want to accept it?"
"Instructions: This mission requires you to go to the battlefield of the third-order civilization hegemony, so you need to go there as a river-crossing dragon. This will cause irreversible damage to your physical foundation and lifespan, which means your lifespan will be -50 years."
"Friendly reminder, if you try to cross the river with a lower strength level, the difficulty of encountering the world barrier will be reduced accordingly, and vice versa."
"Note: The principle of issuing this side quest is based on civilization itself and the village building order system, so there is a one in ten thousand chance that this quest itself may have a bug, so please be cautious when accepting it."
——
"I understand. Although I now have 999 breaths of life energy, I am still a cultivator in the Qi training stage. This is completely different from the foundation building stage. Let's do it!"
Zhang Yang immediately chose to accept the mission, and then sacrificed himself to the throne of the goddess of love. There was no other way, he had nothing left.
"You have started the sacrifice, and the space-time channel is open for you. However, since you have not been invited by the indigenous gods, this will be an evil invasion and you will be cruelly punished. Please choose the world you want to go to (you can only go to a world you have been to, or a world with special trial props)."
"A: Primitive world, second order battlefield."
"B: God's World, the third order battlefield."
