Chapter 758 Myth Archon

The table was placed with cooked braised lamb ribs, cabbage hearts with black bean sauce, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, a fruit platter, and three bowls of rice.

Lu Yao invited Isabel and Haro to have dinner together.

No matter what time it is, you should eat well.

During his previous trip to Daqin, Lu Yao had basically been running around doing business and buying goods, or gathering intelligence, and only ate some bread to quickly fill his stomach.

Now he ate two large bowls of mutton ribs with rice. After he was slightly full, he started chatting with Haro.

"Hello, do you think the Death Gods are interested in the bordering areas?"

Haro bit off a piece of lamb ribs and licked the soup and tendons on it with his tongue: "It's hard to say. The border zone is close to the over-limit zone, which will lock the power of the godhead. Under normal circumstances, most gods are unwilling to go there..."

"What if I pay this god of death 1 billion faiths?"

"I'm not sure. Because once you enter that place, the Grim Reaper will have to rely on himself to fly back and forth. Unless you use the Mythological Anchorage, but you also have to confirm the anchor point over there. In short, your actions are restricted everywhere, and there are also considerable risks."

"Two billion."

"...I think it's okay, but it shouldn't take too long."

"Four billion."

"Whoever you choose to go over, I will notify Him immediately and we can set off at any time. We can stay there for at least 100 years!"

Harrow raised his head, his eyes firm and determined.

“…”

Lu Yao thought to himself that it was true.

Most of the time, the only issue in the labor market is whether the pay is enough.

If you pay enough, someone will take the job, no matter how difficult it is.

Lu Yao told Harrow about the current predicament of the Yilizard clan and asked for its opinion.

The three-headed dog of hell thought for a moment, then slowly spoke: "In the early stages of the development of the descendants of gods, there will definitely be a lot of trouble in the border area. Because it is difficult to use the power of gods to give birth to prophets and heroes, the norms of sacrifices and rituals, as well as the field of faith, are easily affected and destroyed..."

"I suggest that you consider [Exile of Helheim] Hela."

"After the Norse mythology anchorage was closed, Hela has been wandering around the Styx in the underworld. She is definitely free now. Hela believes that everyone will be destroyed sooner or later, so it is ridiculous to waste precious time arguing and competing for leadership and discourse power among myths."

"He is focused on exploring the nature of the phenomenon of death. He has been conducting research on the side of truth and has frequently entered the border zone, so he has a better understanding of the situation there."

“Hela has no prejudice against different myths or civilizations—in fact, many gods have some racial discrimination, but there are very few like you.”

Harrow said: "For example, some hate the undead, some sneer at pacifism, and some only recognize chaos and the supremacy of the strong... For Hela, the most important thing is to study death through civilization and gods. She is also willing to discuss the topic of death with other gods and civilizations. She is very friendly and has great patience and perseverance."

"But Hela also has a prominent shortcoming. She is not the kind of sunny and cheerful god of death. She is easily depressed and often shows a gloomy and negative feeling. She believes that the world is hopeless and everything will perish... But other than that, she is really very good."

Lu Yao understood.

Hela is an academic god of death. She has no interest in the struggle between gods and humans. She tends to be more mournful and has an emo personality.

But He is very familiar with the local areas in the bordering areas and was able to guide the lizard people to adapt to the ecology there.

More importantly, with the presence of the God of Death - even if it is labor outsourcing, the lizardmen will have a resident god to rely on and help, which will boost their spirits and give them more confidence.

Lu Yao believed in the three-headed dog's judgment and immediately said, "Then let's go with Hela. Contact him later and bring him to me."

"Okay! Thank you for being willing to support the Death Gods!"

Harrow looked grateful.

Lu Yao couldn't help but laugh and said, "You have a really good relationship with the Death Gods, and you're still looking for ways for them to generate income."

"Because we all belong to the same source."

The three-headed dog tilted its face to the side and took two bites of meat, mumbling, "The final destination of the gods of death is the underworld. They just come from different worlds and myths, and they will all come to the underworld in the end. This is their true home and habitat... This is not confidential, and many main gods know it."

Lu Yao suddenly realized something, but it was not quite clear.

"you mean?"

"The titles and positions of the gods of death in various worlds and mythologies are nothing more than their temporary residences and positions while they are away from home." Haro said casually while eating a bone.

"The gods of death are all gods of the underworld. They are just in different worlds, performing their duties of maintaining the passage to the underworld, and they will return to the underworld."

Lu Yao suddenly realized.

No wonder Harrow said before that the gods of death will always stay in the underworld for a period of time.

It turns out that they are all expatriate employees, basically gods seconded to various mythological systems, with their personnel relations and organization in the underworld.

"But in fact, most death gods prefer to be active in the outside world, because there are few places in the underworld, and it is difficult for them to be promoted directly. They must rely on gaining power from other myths or worlds..."

The gods of death can continue to accumulate resources and reputation by staying in various mythological and civilization systems. The core of these resources is the power of faith, and reputation is another important criterion, which is usually closely related to faith and believers.

In short, the more famous and influential the god of death is, the higher his status is and the more choices he has.

People like the ones Harrow mentioned all had bad careers for various reasons, but they actually had excellent abilities.

So as a friend and colleague, Harrow, in line with its usual classical chivalry, wanted to help everyone to the best of its ability - even though it itself had been kicked out of the Cerberus sequence.

"Understood."

Lu Yao took the wet tissue handed to him by Isabel and wiped his mouth: "You are very nice to them."

"All for one, and I for all."

Harrow said as a matter of course.

Lu Yao took a look and saw Isabel next to him eating rice. There was already a pile of lamb bones on the plate.

After being noticed, she immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks without even having time to wipe the rice grains from her mouth.

"Keep eating yours."

"yes!"

Then she continued to eat.

"You guys eat slowly, I'll go check the situation first."

Lu Yao brought a small bowl of grapes and fruits and returned to the computer screen.

…

On the screen, a large area was shrouded in the fog of war, with only a central area visible.

There was a three-layer crown on Xing Tian's lonely neck, making him look like a headless winged man with a head grown.

The crown is completely black, with layers of red patterns carved on the surface and silver stars on it. It looks more like a headdress for some mysterious ceremony than a royal crown.

At this moment, a dialog box popped up on the crown: "The stars are your destiny... Become the great lord of the gods, and you will be the king of kings."

"Become 'Tian Shen An' and you will rule the world."

However, its temptation was ineffective because the headless winged man did not have a head to represent independent consciousness, but was just a tool body.

Xing Tian didn't seem to think this thing was an enemy and did not attack it.

Lu Yao clicked on the third-layer crown and obtained its data panel.

…

[Myth Archon LV199] An HP: 37169/922000 Mana: 25193/78394 Damage: 0 Defense: 200 Speed: 100 [Undead]

Symbiote

【Star Mythology】

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

【Myth Archon】

The person with the highest authority over the Star Mythology can delete, add to, and modify the Mythology.

[Royal Power LV10]

[Myth Archon Exclusive Abilities (3/10)]

The holder has absolute authority to suppress, call, command, and grant authority to every member of the ruling myth. The members that can be called upon are related to the level of this ability.

…

Archon of the Star Myth?

An, the God of Heaven An. I seem to have seen this name somewhere.

Lu logged into the committee's database and summoned Baroye on the computer side.

As soon as Baroye saw the situation on the screen, he immediately said excitedly: "Boss, this is a Shi Ling! And it is a high-level Shi Ling who has been appointed to take charge of a myth!"

"Boss, you must take it. As long as you take it, you can completely control the myth of the stars! No matter what, it is also a complete myth. Every myth created by the spirit world has its specific purpose!"

It is indeed Shi Ling.

Lu Yao asked: "How do we take it down?"

"Uh... I don't know. My authority is not as high as that of a Shiling. I cannot recruit or capture it."

Lu Yao frowned.

Baroye immediately said nervously: "Little one, think hard, try hard!!"

Its black mud-like head began to glow, with golden lines emerging from it, as if it was a strange black light bulb that had been lit. It covered its ears with both hands and fell into a state of frantic searching.

Isabel turned on the fan and aimed it at Baroye to cool its head.

Lu Yao turned his attention back to the screen.

The committee database does have information on the triple crown.

"An, the sky god in Sumerian mythology, was considered the supreme god and the ruler of the sky and the stars. He was regarded as a god who could control the weather, cosmic order and natural forces."

"An is usually depicted on stelae as a triple crown resting on a throne. His armies and soldiers are the stars he created to destroy evil...An never leaves heaven easily and comes down to earth."

"...In the creation myth, when faced with Tiamat, An did not fight, and the glory of saving the gods was left to Marduk."

"As the creator of all things, An is regarded as the ultimate source of life and the universe. However, this title was lost very early, and no second generation of [God of Heaven An] was born. Sumerian mythology also soon entered the rule of the successor [Lord of the Spirit] Enlil. Enlil is the only god who can reach heaven, and he rules over other gods..."

The Sumerian creator god, An.

It turned out to be a high-level Shiling.

From this it can be seen that the birth of Sumerian mythology is closely related to the myth of stars.

Lu Yao thought and looked at the screen.

Triple Crown still played the role of the leader, still nagging and persuading.

Taking back Yu Ren's words, Crying Blood Amber didn't know if it could take An Ye in. If it tried and failed, it might lose this best opportunity.

Suizhu and Bi are effective against treasures, but are ineffective against the special life forms of spiritual beings.

Dragon Binding Rope? But the spirits were not strictly flesh and blood, especially this [Myth Archon], who was more like a prop with self-awareness.

Lu Yao tried to click on the crown.

A line of words suddenly popped up on the simulator : "An has discovered your existence."

【An changed from being neutral to being loyal to you. 】

A line of words appeared on the crown: "Dear psychic licensee, [Myth Archon] An reports to you and accepts your inspection and orders."

It left Xingtian and floated in the center of the screen, surrounded by white light.

Lu Yao was overjoyed.

He was familiar with this situation, as it was the same with the Black Bull Atum before.

Lu Yao quickly tapped out an apostle mark and successfully transformed An into an apostle.

Then the crown slowly changed shape and turned into an old man holding a scepter, like the image of a classical wise man.

"It's on fire," Isabel said suddenly.

When Lu Yao looked, he found that flames were coming out of Baroye's head next to him and black smoke began to be emitted.

Oh shit.

It will be troublesome if we attract neighbors.

"Stop, stop, stop using your brain!"

Under Lu Yao's order, Baroye's headache gradually subsided.

"Boss, Baroye's head is hot-headed. Ba, Baroye may need a temporary rest..." The collector's voice was weak and stuttering.

Lu Yao asked it to adjust and quickly threw it back to the virtual world.

Then he returned his attention to Ann.
