Chapter 314 Life Godhead
Mu Zhong nodded and said, "Yes, we slowed down to prepare for the ninth-level world, which is equivalent to giving the Dark Beast Lords time to develop. Even if we don't need the supplies, we should destroy their world and prevent them from continuing to develop."
"Yes, you are right." Wei Huan said.
The others nodded: "Indeed, this is the safest way."
"Commander Wei is really thoughtful."
"We're slow because we want to be slow, but that doesn't mean the Dark Beast Lords can develop slowly. This time we must kill them thoroughly. It would be best if we kill the Dark Beast King and bring chaos to the Dark Beast World."
"Speaking of which, do you all remember the Iron Heart mission we had last time?"
"You mean the Twin Pillars of Heaven, the Trench of the Abyss, the Shadow of the World, and the Brilliance of the Stars?"
"That's right. If we go over there again, this mystery should be solved, right?"
Wei Huan and Mu Zhong looked at each other and saw new targets in each other's eyes.
That’s right, there are still so many things to do, and these secrets of the Dark Beast Plane are probably not simple.
Unknowingly, the chariot had passed through the sea layer that was once densely populated with the remnants of the impostors and arrived at an area where the seabed was covered with sticky substances.
Now, without the descendants of the deceivers to help the divine corpse hunt instinctively, it is much quieter here. Those sticky substances look like they have been sleeping quietly on the seabed for billions of years. There is a kind of quiet stagnation that is almost suffocating.
There is complete silence here, and even the Challenge World cannot spawn monsters here. At a glance, there is only endless stickiness.
But now, the World Tree has taken root here, and its roots have been firmly embedded in these sticky things. It regards the sticky substances that humans avoid as a kind of nutrient and devours them, making them much thinner now.
"If it weren't for the Netherworld Qi escaping this time, I would have thought that the World Tree was already absorbing the corpse of the god." Mu Zhong looked at the scene in front of him and said, "So, this thing is just a body bag."
"God? If entering the ninth-level world means becoming a god, then can we also reach this level after death?" Deputy Captain Kritov muttered to himself.
Xu Qingqiang laughed: "You're overthinking it. In the Heavenly Palace where Monkey King caused havoc, there was also the Jade Emperor and a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers. The Three Pure Ones and the fairies of Yaochi are two different kinds of beings. Uh, do you understand my analogy? It's just... "
"I understand," Kritov said. "I've read the four great classics of Daxia, as well as Classic of Mountains and Seas and Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. I never imagined the monsters described in Classic of Mountains and Seas could actually exist. Daxia civilization has a long history, unbroken for millions of years."
Xu Qingqiang's eyebrows danced with joy. "That's right. Daxia is the only ancient civilization left on Blue Star today. Some historical biographies may seem like nonsense, but they were actually witnessed and recorded by our ancestors..."
Xu Qingqiang began to talk about the mythology of Daxia, and he had completely strayed from the topic and forgot what he was talking about before. Kritov just chatted with him.
Mu Zhong listened to the two men's conversation and said to Wei Huan, "When it comes to achieving godhood, I'm afraid you are the only one in the human race who has the greatest hope right now."
Wei Huan said, "It's not that easy. The Sequence Nine God of Death is just a nominal title, not a true god. If I want to become a god, I must obtain the laws, use them to nourish the godhood, and finally achieve the body of a god. Billions of people are walking this path, but how many can finally reach the end?"
"It's indeed difficult, but there is always hope." Mu Zhong said, and then thought of something, "The godhead you mentioned, I've been wondering, could that stone of life we got be the godhead?"
"Didn't Ironheart say anything?"
"No, it seems that my guess is wrong, or it's not the right time yet..." As he was speaking, Mu Zhong's expression froze and he pretended to listen attentively. Then his expression became a little strange. He looked at Wei Huan and wanted to say something, but he found that everyone around him had become quiet at some point. Xu Qingqiang stopped talking to Kritov, and everyone was looking at him.
Mu Zhong paused, nodded, and said seriously, "Everyone guessed correctly. Iron Heart just told me that it is the Godhead."
"I told you, what life stone? This isn't even a godhead. Could it be a kidney stone?" Xu Qingqiang muttered, then exhaled a puff of smoke. He beamed with joy, "Now I know what a kidney stone is. It's not a kidney stone. I want to become a god!"
Mu Zhong smiled: "As expected of our Brother Qiang, your words make my blood boil."
Xu Qingqiang's eyes lit up. "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier. I don't want to become a god, but I toil so hard every day, going through fire and water, but for nothing! Isn't it all for this final moment?"
Captain Xue hesitated for a second before finally saying, "Brother Qiang, I'm not sure if I should say this, but with your current trajectory, you'll end up becoming a demon."
"Ha ha."
Everyone laughed, but they were not laughing at Xu Qingqiang's "delusion". Demons and gods were equal, and achieving the status of a demon god was the same as achieving the status of a god. It was just that such a prospect was so delightful and made people so excited that they couldn't help laughing even at the smallest thing.
Xu Qingqiang didn't care, and laughed arrogantly: "I want to become a demon, so what? Even if I die, I want to be like this divine corpse, able to create a world of my own, so that those bacteria-like challengers will be terrified of me, fear me, and respect me, and finally have no choice but to change their shape to cater to me.
This life is finally worth it!"
Xu Qingqiang's words made everyone excited and the future prospects were unlimited.
As they were talking, time passed very quickly. Before they knew it, they had walked a long way along the unusually thick tree roots and finally reached their destination.
"Right here," Mu Dehao, who had been here not long ago, pointed to a tree root and said, "This root is much thicker than the others. It's just a root at the end, but it's almost as thick as the main root. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing."
Mu Zhong said, "Let Iron Heart analyze it. Maybe it will open up a mysterious branch."
At the same time, under the gaze of everyone, Wei Huan's undead army had been sent out.
The most intelligent and swimming Geobeast Queen's series is the most useful. A pink Geobeast and a pure red Facehugger arrived at the root system under the protection of a large number of their own kind.
After a while, the great-grandchildren came running over holding a piece of bark that was five times the size of the tree, as if they were presenting a treasure.
As it approached, everyone standing on the balcony felt a strong aura of the underworld enveloping them, as if the vicious god of death was staring at them, ready to swing his scythe and cut their necks at any time, bringing a cold and terrifying feeling.
Only melee professions that have been fighting against the undead army for a long time can ignore this chill that seeps into the bone marrow.
However, Xu Qingqiang still raised his eyebrows and said, "You've become stronger again? You've only been away for more than ten days. It seems that we need to go there as soon as possible."
The grandchildren are extremely smart, with an IQ that has reached the level of a human child in his teens. Apart from not being able to hide their thoughts, they are also very good at flattering, competing for credit, and even using their own brains during battles.
It rushed over, flashing green light like an eye, and finally handed the bark directly to Mu Zhong.
Mu Zhong took the bark and thanked him with a smile: "Thank you, Chong Chong."
"Gurgle, gurgle." The great-grandchildren deliberately made cute sounds, wiggled their buttocks, and then left.
"Facehuggers are a group of dark beasts that are half a level lower than ghost crows. They are a juvenile population of earth beasts. But with the strength of this princess, even if she is taken out alone, I am afraid that ordinary level six monsters can be easily killed by her." Mu Dehao watched the red facehugger leave with admiration, and then turned to look at Mu Zhong expectantly.
Mu Zhong had already given the bark of the World Tree to Iron Heart. In just a few seconds, the answer came out.
Mu Zhong said to Mu Dehao, "The World Tree is very healthy. It's just overnourished."
Mu Dehao breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Zhong continued, "These nutrients come from the divine corpse. This change is normal. Eventually, the nutrients will enter the trunk and be distributed throughout the body, and the World Tree will grow more vigorously."
Mu Dehao nodded and asked, "What about the Netherworld Qi?"
Mu Zhong said: "After death, the Netherworld Qi will naturally condense, but this divine corpse should be the God of Life. His godhead is the godhead of life, so he can nourish the World Tree.
The Netherworld Qi will gradually weaken as the nutrients of the divine corpse are absorbed. However, the Netherworld Qi released during this period may form a ghost den in this sea area and may breed some evil spirits.
I've gained some insights from my time in the Monster World. I can create some holy purification totems and leave them here to ensure daily purification. Then, we can just send angels down regularly to reinforce the purification.
"This totem is a good thing." Mu Dehao breathed a sigh of relief and talked about the totem, "It's equivalent to expanding the use of power, and it can be used as a war reserve. It's a pity that only you can do it.
This will delay your cultivation again." Family members' concerns are bound to be different, and Mu Dehao looked at him with unconcealed heartache.
Mu Zhong looked at Wei Huan with a smile and said, "Wei Huan will help me find a solution. Besides, he will be busy only temporarily. Once everything is sorted out, I will practice."
Mu Dehao didn't say much, just exchanged glances with Wei Huan, then looked away with relief.
As I left, I saw a strange big thing flying past.
How to describe this thing?
Looking from the back, this thing had two pairs of black wings, which were tangled with muscles and were still wriggling.
At the same time, under the wings, there are nine fluffy and tangled long tentacles. These tentacles can be hundreds of meters long. They look like a pile of muscle tissue without skin, but they can dance up and down flexibly, and they look strangely elegant.
"Ah, what is this!?" Mu Dehao guessed its identity at a glance, "A pseudo-god-level Demon Eye Lord."
As Mu Dehao finished speaking, the center of the wing in front began to wriggle, and then an eye emitting purple flames emerged from the muscles, looking at everyone with a "gurgling" sound.
At this moment, everyone felt as if they were slapped into the ground, passing through an endless abyss and reaching the extreme depths.
There, they saw a large yellow river winding upwards, filled with strange-looking ghosts, screaming and struggling, pulling at their hands and feet, trying to pull them into the water.
But before they could struggle, all the images before their eyes disappeared again, leaving only the pair of huge eyes with purple flames, staring straight at them like a purple moon hanging in the extreme darkness.
A single thought leads to the underworld.
One thought is destroyed, and the six realms of reincarnation begin.
It was probably due to the fear of death. Even though everyone knew that this was the ability possessed by the Lord of the Demon Eye after consuming the Nine-tailed Fox, everyone still subconsciously avoided it and stopped looking at that eye.
Wei Huan was not deliberately showing everyone the illusion. In fact, just observing the Lord of the Demon Eye itself would pull anyone who saw it into the illusion of the kingdom of the dead.
However, everyone has a different understanding of death, and the scenes they see are also different. Mu Zhong saw the Eighteen Kings of Hell, Mu Dehao saw the underworld, Jacques saw the abyss of hell, and Kritov saw the blazing devil realm.
Illusions are created by the mind. The longer you immerse yourself in them, the more you believe they are real and the more you become unable to escape.
Wei Huan has not had time to put this new ability into actual combat, and he doesn’t know what the limit is?
Right now, he just needs to use the eyes of the Lord of the Demon Eye to enter the depths of the divine corpse and find the divine bones. This is also one of the reasons why he came here.
Therefore, after realizing that everyone was trapped in an illusion, it quickly turned its eyes forward again and swam towards the roots.
At the same time, green fire rose in Wei Huan's eyes, and his vision had already fallen on the Lord of the Demon Eye.
However, he himself did not know that deep in the green fire of his left eye, there was a cluster of purple flames burning quietly.
If he stares at someone with displeasure for a long time, that person will feel as if they are falling into the abyss. Of course, on the contrary, a gaze full of love will give people a different feeling.
At this time, Wei Huan concentrated on sending the army of undead to follow the roots all the way into the depths of the sticky substance. When they came to the black hard object that had blocked Wei Huan from continuing to explore and thought he had reached the boundary, they found that there was indeed a crack here drilled by the roots of the World Tree.
The Netherworld energy was pouring out from that crack.
Only half an hour later, Wei Huan withdrew the undead army and returned empty-handed.
Mu Zhong was puzzled: "Is it not possible?"
Wei Huan said: "The crack is still too small. I'm afraid that at the moment, it has only broken a small layer of skin on this divine corpse, and it is still far from the divine bones."
Mu Zhong said regretfully: "It seems that the artifact cannot be made."
Wei Huan shook his head: "If we can really get the divine bone, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to refine the divine weapon."
Mu Zhong sighed, "I think so too. My level is too low, I'm afraid I can't control it."
Wei Huan said, "Go back to the Monster World to practice."
Mu nodded: "Okay, go back and practice."
…
Wei Huan did not stay in the level six world for too long this time. After handing over the pioneering work of the pioneering army to Hammer Brother, Big Foot and others who were transferred back, he drove the chariot back to the Monster World.
For a long time afterwards, Wei Huan stayed in the Monster World. However, every half a month, Captain Xue and Xu Qingqiang would lead their teams out and exchange shifts with Brother Hammer to ensure the smooth development of the pioneering army in the level six world.
Occasionally, Wei Huan would come back to the sixth-level world to observe the changes in the divine bones, open some treasure chests, and then hurried back to the monster world.
The time ratio between the Monster World and the Challenge World is 2:1. One more day of delay in the Challenge World is equivalent to two days of less training. At this critical moment when one can make great progress in a day, it is a pity to lose one day of training.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye. Wei Huan stayed in the sixth-level world for a total of one and a half years. This was the longest time he had stayed in the world since entering the challenge world.
During this period, a carnival was held, and as expected, Wei Huan won the championship again.
In addition, the captains of the main combat forces on his chariots also easily made it into the top ten.
This time, Fang William failed to make it into the top ten, and all the places were taken by Wei Huan's chariot.
Last year he was still thinking about leaving some food for others, but this year Wei Huan took on everything.
After all, his identity is different. As the most important pioneering army of mankind in challenging the world, only when they are absolutely strong can the people feel safe and the human race can be united.
In a year, under the tremendous pressure from Wei Huan, various countries have begun to put aside their national and ethnic prejudices and are truly willing to integrate.
After all, all high-level resources are controlled by Daxia, or in other words, in the hands of Wei Huan, and Wei Huan is a staunch supporter of "Blue Star Unification" and the leader of the faction. As long as countries want to move forward and do not want to be abandoned by the times, they can only follow Wei Huan's footsteps.
Even if there are occasional different voices, even if Wei Huan completely ignores and does not suppress them, these factions will never be able to grow bigger. "Blue Star Unification" has become the only voice on Blue Star at the moment.
Once the reform begins, the changes will gradually intensify. At least among the people who come to the sixth-level world, none of them are nationalists and patriots in their daily lives.
Those who can go to the blessed land and cave are those who deeply agree with Wei Huan’s ideas and follow him firmly.
Wei Huan's reputation on Blue Star has reached its peak.
After the carnival, it was time for the annual assessment of new recruits. Each country still wanted to train the next [Gravekeeper], but still failed.
However, this year, newcomers from all over the world received the same treatment as the newcomers from Daxia. After entering the challenge world, they received material assistance from the Blue Star Alliance Army. This not only greatly improved the survival rate of newcomers, but also gave birth to many outstanding talents.
In addition, because the challenge world is no longer a life-and-death challenge, many people have chosen to return, the low-level world has prospered and developed, and the challenge world has become a "colony" of the Blue Star.
When the challenge for newcomers ends, the assessment roads for a new batch of advanced worlds will open.
After ten days, a new batch of challengers will arrive at the sixth-level world and settle on the World Tree.
The people who came this time, as well as some social organizations, as the vanguard of the human army, will build the initial economic system in this important world.
Just as everyone was listening to this news, everyone's cell phones rang again. When they opened them, they saw the whole nation was in an uproar.
[Notice: Human Captain Wei Huan has completed the Level 7 World Assessment. The "Mountain and Sea Battlefield" will begin in 30 days.]
【notify……】
【notify……】
After three consecutive notifications, the people of Blue Star were overjoyed and laughed excitedly.
"Entering the seventh-level world!"
"It has to be Commander Wei!"
"It feels like I was still in the fourth level world yesterday, and now I'm already in the seventh level world! These past three years have flown by so fast, with so many challenging tools appearing on the streets."
"Don't you remember that it took us five years to get from grade four to grade five? I also remember Commander Wei was the new recruit that year. If it weren't for Commander Wei, it might have taken even longer."
"Does anyone still remember that when Commander Wei was still a rookie, he contributed crucial core materials for a Level 5 chariot to the country, which allowed us to break through the blockade and open up the situation?"
"I remember it, I remember it clearly."
Less than two years after entering the sixth-level world, humanity had successfully entered the seventh-level world. Although it was a year later than entering the sixth-level world, this was still a seventh-level world, and there were only two worlds left for humanity to reach the top.
As for the promotion from level six to level seven, according to the previous efficiency, it would not be surprising if it took more than ten years. It is too fast to complete the level seven assessment in two years.
Some people were a little worried: "Is the opening battle of the seventh-level world okay?"
Someone immediately joked, "What could possibly be the problem? The Dark Beast Tribe couldn't keep up back in the sixth level world, and now they're only getting further behind. Relax, there won't be any problems."
"This time we went to the Dark Beast World and directly exterminated the entire clan."
"I heard that the pioneering army discovered a blessed land in the sixth-level world. Why not let the Dark Beast World become our subsidiary world?"
"I can't wait any longer. The opening match is still a month away. The waiting is going to be unbearable."
The people of Blue Star were talking about it, and everyone was extremely happy. In the whole world, the only person who was not particularly happy about this matter was probably Changle.
Changle is one of the challengers sent into the level six world, and it is also the leader car of the main combat force, completing the level six highway assessment.
Speaking of Changle, Wei Huan probably didn't remember it. He didn't remember the assessment on the third-level highway when he was the leader of the car for the first time. Many people questioned him and were dissatisfied with his management as a newcomer, which caused all kinds of troubles.
The assessment that time was extremely difficult. The number of chariots sent by the government was limited. After all, Mu Dehao was not in power at the time and did not have many troops at his disposal. He had to rely on the Mu family for help. In the end, together with the people sent by General Dong Chujian, there were a total of 17 level 4 chariots, but they had to manage more than 8,000 social chariots.
Facing the sneak attack and interception by the Dark Beast Lord, Wei Huan and Qi Jialu led two groups respectively, with Peng Zheng, a "troublemaker", making trouble in the middle. It was not easy to lead these stragglers to win the final victory.
Among them was a challenger named Changle. Five good friends formed a private adventure team. In that test, he was the first to risk his life to be loyal to Wei Huan.
What supported Changle in facing the gold-level random monsters without retreating was not his ideal mission. He was not that noble. He would not fight so hard at that time because his mind was full of "making great achievements" and "bringing honor to the family."
Wei Huan is now surrounded by many like-minded comrades who are working hard for the victory of mankind.
But it cannot be denied that Changle bravely stood up at that moment and fought for Wei Huan.
So after completing that assessment, Mu Zhong arranged him to train in the Qinglong Legion. Now, three years have passed, and the young man whose mind was full of "bringing honor to his ancestors" has become an excellent lieutenant and one of the leading vehicles of the Fourth Assessment Legion of the Pioneer Army.
He came to the sixth-level world, running towards his ideal and to protect the commander.
However, Commander Wei went to the seventh-level world.
