Chapter 497 The Gods Resurrect
Dog City and the Abyss are two quick cash-in channels controlled by Lu Yao.
The abyss is a long-term business. The in-depth excavation and development of each layer requires time and also comes with population benefits.
In comparison, the faith in Dog City came faster.
The Scarab claimed that it possessed 1.8 billion flames of faith and 100 divine powers.
These resources are the means for it to demonstrate its strength. Even if there is some exaggeration, according to its previous style of making money readily, tens of millions of faiths are just a drop in the bucket for it.
Lu Yao switched perspective and came to the sky above the Resurrection Kingdom.
A reminder pops up on the screen.
【Charles taught the History of the Resurrection Kingdom to the Resurrection Kingdom. 】
【Charles' popularity rises in the Resurrection Kingdom.】
This friend of Dog City completed the compilation of the history of the Resurrection Kingdom and fulfilled the kingdom's trust.
It’s just that Lu Yao is more concerned about economic issues now.
He clicked to enter the temple.
Apostle Mao Cao is praying in front of the statue.
When questioned by the god, a trembling cat head appeared on its head: "My Lord God, I have been trying to communicate with Charles for the past two months and try to restore trade... But there is a problem in Dog City now."
"Many corpses of gods in the Dog City have revived, causing the order in the city to be disrupted. The Scarab is leading the Undead Warriors and the Black Jackal to clean up everywhere."
The gods of Dog City collectively resurrected and went dancing? This was something Lu Yao had not expected.
That place is a big cemetery, and it would seem incomplete if there weren't some supernatural incidents.
"All this is the chaos caused by Kebli's resurgence."
…
The scarab originally lived in symbiosis with Khepri's divine body, but after capturing the more powerful Menes, it abandoned Khepri and used Menes' body for its own use.
After returning to the grave, Kebli was in a daze, moving occasionally. According to the scarab's estimation, it would take some time for it to fall into eternal sleep again.
But one day, Khepri suddenly disappeared from the tomb.
The scarab sent people to look for it everywhere, but they couldn't find it.
A soldier made a discovery: "Your Majesty, Khepri is in the sun in the sky!"
Everyone then noticed that Kebli was floating in the sun high in the sky.
He was walking slowly, raising his hand and pointing into the distance.
Kebli's entire body was surrounded by golden lights, which kept stretching and twisting, quickly condensing into a long and narrow ancient ship.
The boat was made entirely of rough papyrus, with its bow and stern tilted up and its hull tied tightly with ropes. It was equipped with a sail woven from grass leaves, a bundled mast, and a sunshade canopy on top.
This ancient and crude papyrus boat was slowly drifting in the sky. The remains of Khepri stood on the boat, with his hand raised and pointing, like the captain of the ship.
Seeing this scene, the scarab, now Menes, was shocked.
The ship that Khepri was on was not an illusion, but a famous treasure, the "Sun Boat".
The owner of the "Solar Boat" is the "Primordial Chaos", one of the eight highest gods in the Egyptian mythology. Primordial Chaos once traveled around the world on the Sun Boat. At that time, Khepri was one of the eight gods accompanying him.
After learning about this, Charles was somewhat worried: "Your Majesty, Khepri has resonated with the Sun Boat... Will it attract the attention of that Lord [Original Chaos]? If it is a god of that level..."
"Won't."
The scarab denied it: "This is indeed the Sun Boat, but it is the "Morning" among the three ships. This is the treasure that the original Chaos gave to Khepri. It seems that after Khepri's fall, the "Morning" was not obtained by others, but continued to wander among the fragments of those worlds."
"But its ability, Light of Resurrection, is indeed a big problem."
The sun boat "Morning" hovered in the sky, but it could not take Khepri away from here, nor could it break through the borders of Dog City.
It can only appear again and again as the sun rises, stay for a short time, and then disappear behind the sun.
However, its "light of resurrection" has awakened the corpses of gods in Dog City that were either sleeping or in a daze. These bodies were carefully maintained and placed by Anubis in the past, and most of them are still fully powerful.
After resurrecting and transforming into dead monsters, the gods and monsters began to hunt and kill each other according to their instincts. Only when the morning carried by the sun boat completely disappeared, they would gradually calm down and return to the tomb to sleep.
Under the catalysis of the Sun Boat, the corpses of the gods buried deep in Dog City began to walk as the dead, disrupting the already stable order again.
The scarab had to attack everywhere, eliminating and burying the awakened dead around it as soon as possible to prevent their power from fully recovering.
It was busy dealing with the monsters that kept popping up like moles. Time was urgent and it had no time to be distracted, so its external transactions were temporarily interrupted.
…
"After the incident, Charles visited me several times and tried to hire the Resurrection Kingdom's army to replenish Dog City's defense force. But I refused. The Resurrection Kingdom participated in the suppression of the Twin Snake Merchant Republic. It is now time to stabilize and reap the benefits of reputation and prestige. It is not appropriate to participate in the war."
Maocao elaborated, "Besides, the situation in Dog City is far beyond the capabilities of the Resurrection Kingdom. There are often demigod-level monsters over there, and the Kingdom's soldiers can only be used as cannon fodder. Because they cannot have the Fire of Faith, there are even fewer members who meet this condition. It is not worth it just to delay time for the Scarabs."
After listening to the general situation of Dog City, Lu Yao also felt a little sympathetic.
After defeating the tigers and leopards, here come the wolves.
Maocao's judgment was very calm.
"My Lord God, Charles still wants to get our help. He represents the Scarab Menis and hopes that the Yao people can help quell the disaster in Dog City. Because time is too urgent and we need immediate combat power, the Scarab does not have the time and energy to train undead warriors."
"As for the price, Charles's offer is 100 million. As long as we join the war and provide assistance, they are willing to immediately pay 40 million Fire of Faith as the down payment... and will pay it in installments later."
Lu Yao's eyes lit up.
It is true that making money from war is the fastest. Human history has proven this many times.
But soon, he felt depressed again.
Lu Yao wanted to fight, but the seal on Dog City made it impossible for him to do so.
The apostles of the gods cannot enter, and the elite corpse demon army cannot be dispatched. Only the dead without the fire of faith can ensure safe arrival in the Dog City.
To satisfy both of these conditions at the same time and to be a good fighter...that is extremely difficult.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
But Lu Yao was unwilling to give up just like that.
This was a rare opportunity to generate income! He immediately convened a meeting of apostles to pool their wisdom and mobilize the minds and subjective initiative of each of his subordinates.
"The three great holy wishes can participate in the war."
Tyrant was the first to state: "Whether it's 'Fire Man', 'Chess King' or 'Mr. Why', this special group of people cannot generate the fire of faith and can fight alone."
"The abilities of the Three Sacred Wish are extremely good at assisting, especially Mr. Why. Once it starts a verbal battle, those dead who no longer have wisdom are no match for it. The only drawback is that it can only fight one-on-one."
"The toxins of the Mist Country can also be used in battle."
Slymode also said: "Shacheng has produced a high concentration of ice spring toxin through refrigeration and purification using an ice steam furnace. Although the auxiliary agent of the gene sequence has not been successful, it is still sufficient to be used as an auxiliary weapon."
Others also had some suggestions, but none of them had much practical value.
Ultimately, it’s because the environment in Dog City is too restrictive.
Finally, the members of the aid team were determined to be: Wise Bug, Three Holy Wish, and the three-headed dog Harrow (for friendly combat).
Every member of the team was equipped with a set of [Origami Avatar]. If it weren't for the single-use binding restriction of this thing, Lu Yao would have wanted them to bring a bunch of these life-saving artifacts with them.
In addition, Lu Yao also activated [Dian Ke Yong], one of the Twelve Golden Men, for the first time and accurately handed it over to the three-headed dog Haro to use - this was not for any other reason, but just because Haro's panel was the weakest, and it would be safer to combine with Dian Ke Yong.
“Actually, I’m very strong.”
Haro firmly objected: "I am not a weak person. It's just that my true strength is limited in this reality..."
"I understand what you mean." Lu Yao waved his hand: "I'm relieved if you take it. After all, you are here as a friendly sponsor, and it's not good to get hurt."
"Really! Mr. Navigator, I will always remember your concern and care for me, but please don't doubt my ability to deal with the dead, Sleepless Harrow! I don't need this."
"...Are you sure you can handle those dead gods and monsters?"
"As long as they are dead, no matter how powerful and glorious they were in the past, they must submit to me! This is the strength of the Cerberus clan!"
Harodog's face is full of confidence.
Lu Yao was very suspicious.
Originally, he used the canine fang to find Haro to ask for its professional opinion. After all, those resurrected gods were also dead, which was Cerberus' professional field that he had cultivated for many years.
When Haro heard this, he immediately said, "Leave it to me. I'll go and help you deal with the dead in Dog City."
"You have helped me a lot. Let me show my strength this time. I am not as weak as I look. Really, please trust me this time."
"Although my former commander was a hundred-armed giant, that was a position, not a belief. Cerberus's faith belongs only to the underworld!"
Harrow said he would join the war no matter what.
But it just happens that it really meets the requirements. It does not belong to the living, does not generate the fire of faith, and it does not even have the "wisdom". It is a rare native of the underworld.
Lu Yao couldn't persuade it, so he decided to respect its wishes, put away the golden man, and let it go.
On the screen, Haro turned into a black and white spotted dog, and he proudly led three armored men and a red panda all the way to Dog City.
On the way, Haro was still saying to others: "Look at my eyes later."
“It’s easy to fix them.”
"I'll take care of it."
When Lu Yao heard these words, his eyelids twitched.
The only thing that comforted him was that 40 million faith reserves had been added to the upper right corner, and Scarab's first payment was as refreshing as ever.
