Chapter 353 The Will of the Ancient Gods
Wei Huan didn't know that with Mo Ji's ascension to the throne, the royal power was officially transferred. Everyone on Blue Star received a message from the Challenge World on their mobile phones, and Blue Star was in an uproar.
Xu Qingqiang and others who were teleported back happened to see this scene from the large projection screen spread out in front of Mu Zhong.
"Tsk!" Xu Qingqiang smacked his lips. "Who the hell could have imagined this? Who would have dared to imagine that it would actually become the Dark Beast King!?"
Captain Xue nodded in agreement. "That's completely off the mark! This twist and turn nearly broke my back! No, wait, do we win or lose?"
Even the usually low-key Thor couldn't help but say, "We won."
Changle didn't dare to speak loudly, and whispered to the big foot beside him: "Brother Moji is the boss's summoned creature. Brother Moji has become the Dark Beast King. Does that mean that our boss has become the Dark Beast King? The Dark Beast Plane will become ours?"
"Hiss!" Big Foot also reacted, took a breath, and exclaimed, "Holy shit!"
Then the discussion started to get heated, and everyone couldn't help but speak up and join in the discussion.
Even the team member who was receiving treatment for broken limbs could not help but sit up in shock from his illness and recovered without any medicine!
Rather than winning a battle, what would be more satisfying is to replace the enemy and become the king, right?
In a man’s heart, this is the greatest success!
"Who would have thought that the dark beast I've been fighting all my life would become one of our own? I'm afraid I'll have to protect it in the future."
"Hehehe, I'm dying of laughter. This result is incredible."
"So he has to be our boss. Even TV dramas don't dare to play it that way."
On the virtual projection screen spread out in front of everyone, Moji was wearing his bizarre crown, accepting the worship of the new dark beast royal family and the dark beasts.
The entire plateau was shrouded in golden light. Under Moji's sacrifice, the energy of the dead dark beasts was used to condense new dark beast royal families.
After they were born, they turned into huge "Death Gods", wearing black Death Cloaks. Under the tattered and flying hems, the half of their faces and hands and feet exposed were glowing with a faint golden light.
When dozens of death gods, each a thousand meters tall, walked in the same direction on the plateau wearing the same black robes, their aura was even more oppressive than that of the bizarre-looking old dark beast royal family.
The breath of death and the power of the ancient gods are perfectly intertwined. They are like messengers from the underworld walking in the world of the living, communicating between light and darkness, presenting an alternative and absurd divinity.
This feeling was extremely difficult to describe. Even though Wei Huan and the people around him were considered knowledgeable enough, they were still so shocked when they saw this that they were unable to speak for a while.
“Who could have imagined such an outcome?”
It was the same sentence, but when he said it again, there was no more arrogance or boasting in his tone, only pure emotion.
This result is too bizarre.
When Mu Zhong withdrew his gaze, he found that Wei Huan's face was not completely happy after the victory.
He whispered, "What's wrong?"
Wei Huan didn't hide his thoughts. He just glanced at the still happy team members, called Mu Zhong aside, and whispered, "Something happened. The Dark Beast King is controlled by the ancient god. That insect-like helmet seems to be the prop that controls the Dark Beast King."
"Hiss!" There was a sound of gasps behind them, and the excited discussion just now disappeared without a trace. The two turned around and saw pairs of wide-open eyes.
Unexpectedly, it was heard.
The brothers who had broken their arms and legs felt the pain in their wounds begin to throb again.
Mu Zhong was the calmest one. Seeing that Wei Huan's expression was not good, but not bad either, he asked, "Can you get rid of it?"
Wei Huan said: "No, once the Dark Beast King becomes king, he will have no control over his own affairs."
"That……"
"Don't worry, Moji has three heads."
"..." Mu Zhong choked up and suddenly found himself speechless. It was so damn right. Why didn't he think of three heads at the beginning?
Wei Huan's expression was more of a weird one than dissatisfaction.
The invading energy came quite suddenly. When Mo Ji officially put on the stag beetle helmet, this ball of energy invaded Mo Ji's soul at the same time, and it wanted to seize the control of Mo Ji from Wei Huan in an extremely domineering manner.
This energy came suddenly. If it had reached Wei Huan's brain, he would probably scream at that time, and then a brutal tug-of-war would have begun.
It's a pity that Mo Ji was just a summon of Wei Huan. His consciousness had no effect on Wei Huan at all, and he had to watch a battle for soul will, and it was a three-on-one battle.
Moji is an undead spirit that has awakened its own will. It even has a heartbeat, just like a living being, and has independent self-awareness.
Wei Huan didn’t know what the other Shuromas were like, but Moji had three beast types.
A violent and cunning one, usually appears in battle, making Moji strong and brave in battle, and intelligent, not just an undead who only knows how to kill, like a weapon.
An innocent and smiling boy, this is his appearance when he is close to Wei Huan. He also likes to use this animal personality to fight with Xu Qingqiang and others. His cute attitude makes everyone like him.
The other one was calm and solemn. This was probably because as a summoned creature and a part of the undead, it was absolutely loyal to Wei Huan and obeyed his orders.
Now, when the calm part was trying to seize the throne of the Dark Beast King, it was invaded by the will of the ancient god. Under its strenuous resistance, the other two beasts also joined in and quickly suppressed this will.
As soon as Wei Huan woke up, he was considering whether to wipe out this trace of will.
He may not be able to fight against the real ancient gods, but this is just a wisp of will after all, and the bond between him and the undead is also protected by the law. In addition, as a challenger, he is in the process of challenging. As long as he wants, it is not difficult for him to erase this wisp of will.
But doing so would be equivalent to voluntarily giving up on becoming the Dark Beast King.
"Wait, let me ask." When in doubt, ask the Heart of Steel.
"Okay." Wei Huan nodded. The battle was over and it was time for the truth to come out. This time there should be an answer.
Sure enough, Mu Zhong soon got the truth from Iron Heart.
"That's right. The Dark Beast Clan lives on the back of the Ancient God, relying on a breath of the Ancient God for their continued development. It can be said that the Dark Beast Clan and the Ancient God are one and the same. If the Ancient God's will is forcibly deprived, the Dark Beast King and the Dark Beast Clan will cease to exist."
Wei Huan looked at the black cube on his shoulder: "Is he finally speaking?"
Mu Zhong smiled: "Look, the mission has been updated."
Everyone looked at the taskbar only after being reminded.
[Main Quest: Become the Dark Beast King (1/1)]
[Side Quest 1: Resurrect the Dark Beast King (72/200)]
[Side Quest 2: Exploring "Twin Pillars of Heaven" (completed), "Ditch of the Abyss" (uncompleted), "Shadow of the World" (uncompleted), "Bright Star" (uncompleted)]
Both the "Main Mission" and "Side Mission 1" have changed from destroying the enemy to becoming the Dark Beast King and reviving the Dark Beast royal family.
And without Mu Zhong's reminder, Wei Huan also discovered that the task of [Resurrecting the Dark Beast King Family] obviously revealed new information.
"Only 200 need to be resurrected? I remember there are 321 Dark Beast Kings in total." Wei Huan asked.
Mu Zhong, who had already learned the truth, said, "200 is the foundation, the basic framework that maintains the normal operation of the Dark Beast Tribe. If the number falls below this, the Ancient God will be awakened and his will will be brought down upon this world."
Therefore, the extra 121 dark beast kings were the foundation that the Dark Beast King had slowly accumulated over the next many years of operation.
But Wei Huan's attention was focused on another point: "So, after the Ancient God's will descends, what will it do?"
"Probably..." Mu Zhong thought for a moment and said, "If it was before this, He would have questioned the Dark Beast King, or replaced the leader, or even destroyed the world and started over. After all, to the Ancient God, this is nothing. These dark beasts are like the occasional blooming and withering of flowers that He sees in his long life. Regardless of prosperity or decline, to Him, they are just a small scenery. When the mood strikes, He does something, and when the mood fades, He just wipes it away. But now... He can do nothing, right?"
Wei Huan did not expect this answer, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed to be the case.
The two words "ancient gods" have revealed too much information. They are a group of lives that are older than modern gods. Even "Challenge the World" calls them ancient gods. They have existed in this world for countless billions of years. Perhaps they are terrible lives that existed before the birth of heaven and earth.
It is longer than the existence of a planet. In a lifespan measured in billions, what does even the Dark Beast Clan, which has been passed down for ten thousand years, count for?
"But," Mu Zhong added, "if we hadn't challenged the world's suppression, we might have really angered Him by doing this."
Wei Huan nodded, "But he can't do anything. Since the Dark Beast Plane is being used as a battlefield to challenge civilization, there is only one outcome."
Mu Zhong also nodded: "That's right, He cannot resist the Challenge World."
"Yes." Wei Huan nodded.
Mu Zhong raised his voice: "So as long as we act within the rules, we will be absolutely safe."
As he spoke, Wei Huan looked up at the sky, his sight passing through the azure sky and seeing the starry universe beyond.
In a trance, he saw a vague and huge figure squatting in the distant, unknown end. It was as majestic as a mountain and could not be crossed.
But just when he wanted to see more clearly, he found nothing. He blinked and saw the same sky and land in front of him, as well as the group of dark beast kings slowly walking towards the royal city.
"So." Mu Zhongzheng winked at him.
Wei Huan turned to look at the eagerly watching crowd behind him and declared with certainty, "That's right, we defeated the Dark Beast King and took over this world. We won! We humans won!!"
…
The victory actually did not come suddenly. As early as the fifth-level world, humans had turned the tide and were able to defeat the dark beast clan.
Wei Huan's sudden appearance changed the fate of the human race being eliminated, and allowed the human race to take the absolute initiative in this unexpected war of civilizations.
After that, Wei Huan did not attack blindly. Instead, he developed steadily, improved his own strength, and at the same time made the human beings of Blue Star stronger as a whole.
Until now, he has reached the eighth-level world, two levels higher than the dark beast plane, and only then turned his gun to attack the dark beast clan.
Facts have proved that Wei Huan's cautious decision was correct.
The Dark Beast Tribe still has a trump card, including the existence of the ancient gods. If he had not discovered the truth in advance, he might have made wrong choices in some aspects, putting himself and the humans on Blue Star in danger.
It was precisely this kind of careful and cautious approach that allowed Wei Huan, who possessed absolute overwhelming power, to achieve the great achievement of killing the Dark Beast King in one fell swoop and winning the war of civilization!
This time when he came to the Dark Beast Plane, he had already made the decision to declare war on the Dark Beast King.
So everything is planned and progresses in an orderly manner until the final victory.
The only surprise was probably Mo Ji's unexpected action, which made him the master of the dark beast plane in some ways.
Moji used his absolute will to suppress the will of the ancient gods who could not resist "Challenging the World" into a corner, and officially ascended the throne as king.
Moji possesses the identities of both a dark beast clan and an undead creature, and the new dark beast royal clan summoned and resurrected by it also possesses the characteristics of the undead.
They are no longer limited to the dark beast clan, the undead clan will also become their energy source, coupled with their natural affinity for humans, allowing them to transform into giant death gods once they reach combat status.
Although Wei Huan might have limited use for them, most of the time, their existence was simply to ensure the normal operation of the Dark Beast Clan. However, not hindering their existence itself was a victory, a joy that was as pleasing to the eye as it was to the eye.
Enemy!
The dark beasts that were arranged by the challenging world in the past to become the opponents of the humans on Blue Star and killed countless of their fellow humans actually had their kingship completely taken away from them one day and became subordinates of the human race.
Wei Huan was very happy that he did not disappoint Lao Zhao's trust and the earnest expectations of the hundreds of millions of heroes sleeping in the Western Hills.
He personally ended the ten-year war and freed his compatriots from the precarious situation of war.
Wei Huan lived in the Dark Beast King City, the only building that survived the war.
As a tribe of beasts, the Dark Beasts have a natural aversion to human civilization. Even if the Challenge World tries to instill knowledge into them through the Lord Challenge, in the end, only a limited number of Dark Beasts can truly understand and accept it.
Perhaps it is this rarity that makes these special dark beasts seem out of place, and they finally gather in the royal city.
The Dark Beast King's intelligence allowed it to recognize and accept human technological knowledge, and eventually built this advanced royal city that was very similar to "Lord Challenge".
Many of the buildings in the royal city that have been destroyed were built one-to-one according to the buildings in "Lord's Challenge".
For example, Wei Huan and his companions are now living in this building, which is called the "Hero Temple" in Lord Challenge.
The Temple of Heroes is the "golden finger" that the Challenge World gives to the Dark Beast Clan, just like the chariot that the Challenge World gives to humans, which can allow the challenger to possess power beyond his own.
The most terrifying hero Wei Huan met in the battle with the Dark Beast Lord was a pseudo-god-level human female hunter. She shook his level five protective shield with one arrow, and the arrow was so fast that the second arrow broke his protective shield.
The battle was so terrifying that it was still fresh in his memory.
However, like heroes and chariots, they cannot be brought back to this world. Therefore, this Hero Temple built here does not have the function of recruiting heroes. It is more like an attempt, or perhaps it has some color of faith?
They lived in the Hero Temple. Mu Zhong, entering the temple for the first time, was puzzled. "It's empty, not even a statue of the god. Is the Hero Temple in the Challenge World like this too?"
Wei Huan nodded. He had looked through the eyes of the Demon Eye Lord and said, "That's the case too."
What should be placed inside? A statue challenging the gods? Challenging such a high-dimensional being, ordinary beings probably wouldn't be able to glimpse its true appearance. And carving a stone statue and worshipping it for incense would be too low-brow.
"However," Wei Huan continued, "a true hero temple will have starlight gathering in its center, and the recruited heroes will emerge from within this starlight."
Wei Huan pointed to the center of the hall. In fact, there was a very large area of brilliant light gathered there, full of a sacred atmosphere. Such imitations and the real ones were two completely different concepts.
Mu nodded, and after chatting for a while, he started to arrange for the team members' rest and recovery.
Wei Huan looked around the hall, then walked out of the temple gate, stood on the hundred steps, and looked into the distance.
This royal city, which was carefully managed by the former Dark Beast King, was almost destroyed by 99%.
Once the fight started, it turned into a high-end battle with kilometer-long monsters. Just a random movement would have the power of a landslide. Most of the buildings here were completely flattened until the underground soil was exposed.
At this moment, the Dark Beast King family, like the god of death, is wandering on the ruins and strolling in the smoke. It really looks like a doomsday scene.
But in fact, it was Wei Huan who issued the order through Mo Ji, asking the Dark Beast King Clan to clean up the battlefield.
This city has been abandoned. In fact, for the dark beasts with strong animal instincts, this technological city is not the living environment they like. The wilderness, mountains and deep pools along the way are their habitats.
But Wei Huan also believed that the royal city was different and must have its own special features.
In addition, after the energy of the dark beasts that died in battle was absorbed, the remaining charred parts polluted the space and made it very smelly.
They may have to stay here for some time, at least to help Moji stabilize the royal power, and then leave to explore the secrets of the ancient gods.
Wei Huan didn’t know now that the news of their defeat of the Dark Beast King had spread throughout Blue Star, nor did he know that the Dark Beast Plane was merging with Blue Star.
The mission this time has been completed. The matter of exploring the secrets of the ancient gods can be put aside. Helping Mo Ji stabilize the royal power is the top priority.
Moji has not yet awakened 200 Dark Beast Kings, which means the Ancient God's will has been active in his soul sea. Wei Huan, who has asked Iron Heart, knows that if enough Dark Beast Kings are awakened as soon as possible, the Ancient God's will will fall asleep.
For such an ancient deity, one that had existed for eons, the change of kingship was perfectly normal. Even though He knew that it was a human who now controlled the Dark Beast King, to Him, they were no different from the Dark Beast King. Humans were merely a blip in His long life, perhaps even more interesting, so He did not interfere.
But even if He wanted to do something, He couldn't. He had already been suppressed by the world of challenge. Rather than being an ancient god, it would be better to say that He was the "base" supporting the dark beast plane.
But being so active all the time is not a solution, as it will give people an inexplicable sense of urgency. Wei Huan told himself that he must help Mo Ji complete the task before leaving.
As soon as he thought of it, a huge Death Dark Beast King came from afar. It walked in front of Wei Huan with seemingly slow but actually very fast steps.
At the top of the tattered cloak of death, Mo Ji stood there.
It found a "mount" for itself.
From some distance away, Mo Ji jumped down from the head of the Grim Reaper, took a few steps in the air and landed lightly in front of Wei Huan. His cute little face was filled with smiles. He rubbed Wei Huan's legs like a coquettish cat, walked around him, and rubbed again.
Wei Huan raised his hand and touched his stag beetle-like "crown". The hard feel felt very ordinary, but Wei Huan believed that the shape of this crown was not randomly generated. The ancient god might be a stag beetle that had lived for who knows how many billions of years.
After all, even a celestial demon in the form of a snail has appeared, so it is not surprising that a stag beetle ancient god appears.
Moreover, these lives are naturally different from the insects on the blue planet. It is more appropriate to call these unique creatures "cosmic species."
They are born with the power of stars and travel in the universe. Their lifespan seems endless. They either feed on planets or grow by absorbing cosmic energy. What's more, some are born with the ability to control the laws and stand directly at the end of "Tao".
This kind of life is unimaginable for humans, a short-lived species living on the planet.
Occasionally, Wei Huan would thank Challenge World, because it was Challenge World that narrowed the gap between different species and gave humans a chance to leave their home planet and see the real world.
"Yoyo~"
Mo Ji's cry brought Wei Huan back to his wandering thoughts. He raised his hand and pinched Mo Ji's face. It felt really good, soft, tender and warm.
Then he started talking to Mo Ji in his consciousness.
Moji cannot make human sounds, and there is no need for it to speak. It is Wei Huan's summoned creature. It fully understands and executes Wei Huan's orders as long as he thinks about it.
Wei Huan now wants to help it consolidate its regime, and he must recruit at least 201 dark beast kings before he can leave with peace of mind.
But he doesn't have much time left here, so this matter must be done as soon as possible.
Mo Ji had no other thoughts. He only knew that Wei Huan's order was an imperial decree, and he had to do it no matter how difficult it was.
Mo Ji told Wei Huan that a large number of dark beasts were needed. Each dark beast contained a bit of ancient god power in its body, and these powers were the key to consolidating the dark beast royal family.
First, the Dark Beast King Clan must be condensed, the will of the ancient gods will be quieted, the world will be stable, and then through the Dark Beast Clan's own reproduction and growth, the clan will be slowly expanded. When the Dark Beast Clan reaches a certain number, a new Dark Beast King Clan can be condensed to share the pressure of the "Net" and stabilize the Dark Beast Clan.
The Dark Beast King has accumulated 321 dark beast kings through tens of millions of years.
The appearance of each royal family represents the prosperity of the dark beast clan. The 321 dark beast royal families can probably represent a total of 32.1 billion dark beasts.
With the change of leaders, the secrets of the Dark Beast Tribe were also revealed, and were completely exposed before our eyes.
