Chapter 354: The Ancient God is Just a Whetstone
Wei Huan killed his way here, leaving behind a lot of ancient god's energy on the road that had not been collected. Mo Ji planned to leave the royal city and walk back, collecting the ancient god's energy along the way to create the dark beast royal family.
If that's not enough, just kill again. Wei Huan is not soft-hearted about this.
Since the method has been determined, Wei Huan let Mo Ji handle it on his own first, and if it is still not enough, he can come to him again.
He cannot leave here for the time being. Everyone in the brave team is injured, and many of them have suffered almost fatal injuries. If he had not brought three praying people here this time and treated them as soon as possible, this operation would have resulted in losses that would have saddened Wei Huan.
They decided to take action only when they were two levels higher than their opponents. If people died, I'm afraid those of them who were lucky enough to survive would not be able to bear it.
Fortunately, although the injuries are serious, he is still alive and will recover after a few days of rest.
The remaining people have also suffered huge losses, including Wei Huan, who has used up all their trump cards. Their strength is far less than at the beginning of the war. At this time, both Wei Huan himself and the team members need to gather together to ensure each other's safety.
Wei Huan watched Mo Ji leave, then glanced at the huge Grim Reapers who were still cleaning up the battlefield, then turned around and went back into the hall.
At the same time, a protective shield rose outside the hall, and Dian Ma appeared and entrenched outside the Temple of Heroes. Her huge body was like an umbrella holding up the sky, blocking a large amount of light. Her thick long legs with barbs covered the two halls, making her look extremely difficult to provoke.
After being recruited again, its strength has been restored to its original state. It has been obeying Wei Huan's orders, keeping a vigilant eye on its surroundings, and loyally guarding the people in the hall.
A large number of marching tents have been set up in the hall. Most people have simply washed themselves up and are now sitting down in groups of three or four to eat the delicious pre-prepared dishes of "Orange Juice" on the spot.
When they saw Wei Huan coming in, most of them put down their lunch boxes and stood up, greeting Wei Huan along the way.
Wei Huan didn't want to disturb their meal, so he nodded and quickly walked to the largest tent in the middle.
This tent is ten times the size of a marching tent and has two entrances and exits. It is also called a medical tent, where the injured are treated.
At present, the technology of Blue Star has been affected by the challenge of technology and has developed to a very powerful level. In order not to waste the spiritual power of the praying person, just lie in the treatment chamber and spend a little time, and you can recover quickly, just like the praying person taking action.
The spiritual power of the praying people can be used to help team members who have suffered fatal injuries and to regenerate broken limbs.
The team members who have now received proper treatment are lying in the treatment chamber, receiving treatment while sleeping and away from pain.
The faces of the praying people were all pale, which showed that their spiritual power had been drained, but they still stayed by the side of the most seriously injured team members, keeping a close eye on their conditions.
Mu Zhong is here at this moment.
The Shaman also has some healing abilities, but his main role here is to stabilize everyone. In addition, his unique totem ability can also help.
There are many totems hanging in the room, some are only the size of necklace pendants, some are the size of a palm, and they are either hung on the hospital beds or on the necks of the wounded. The totems, as thick as a little finger, exude a strong natural scent and have the ability to heal injuries and drive away dark energy.
In Wei Huan's opinion, Mu Zhong's awakened "Totem" was the most useful auxiliary skill at the moment. While the effect wasn't immediate, it was persistent, and even when Mu Zhong was away, his Totem could still appear in various situations. As for Mu Zhong, his Level 6 Pilot Sequence allowed him to create a small Totem with a flick of his wrist.
Before coming here, Mu Zhong carefully refined a batch of death resistance totems, which are now hung around the necks of each team member, perfectly solving the contradiction that because Wei Huan is too powerful, the team members fighting in his area will be harmed.
"Are you back?" Mu Zhong saw Wei Huan and his eyes fell on his face. "There's nothing for you to do right now. Do you want to go and rest?"
Wei Huan said, "I'm not tired, let's talk later."
Mu Zhong smiled and stopped talking.
Wei Huan stayed in the treatment tent for a while, and when he went out again, he found that Xu Qingqiang and seven or eight other people were about to leave the temple.
Wei Huan called them.
Xu Qingqiang said, "When you go out on patrol, you must also be vigilant against the Dark Beast Kings. You should rest first. The members I brought with me are all capable of recovery. They should be able to hold on for another day or two. But you, you haven't seen how you look right now, have you?"
Wei Huan has never looked in the mirror.
However, it is understandable that he takes a break now. The battle has come to an end, and he needs to adjust his condition as soon as possible to deal with possible accidents.
Seeing Wei Huan asking him where the marching tent was, Mu Zhong smiled and said, "Are you finally going to rest? Several people came to me a few days ago to ask you to rest, but I said you had your own plans. Are you finally tired now?"
Wei Huan saw the teasing smile on Mu Zhong's face, and once his nerves relaxed, fatigue surged up. He hugged Mu Zhong from the front and hung on him: "What are you laughing at?"
Mu Zhong caught Wei Huan steadily and said, "I don't know."
"You're laughing even though you don't know?"
"I just wanted to laugh. You're not often seen like this."
"dislike?"
"I like it. I like it so much. It's rare to see you show weakness like this. I cherish it."
"Oh."
Wei Huan smiled and closed his eyes, letting Mu Zhong drag him into the room and throw him on the bed.
He turned over and fell asleep completely before he could even take a full breath.
Mu Zhong sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the man who had fallen asleep. He raised his hand and touched his nose, then pressed his dehydrated and cracked lips. Finally, he bent down and kissed him on the forehead.
"Sweet dreams."
He said, and stood up and left the room.
The door was closed and Wei Huan was sleeping in the darkness, without even dreaming. He was in that sweet dream until the first nerve beat again, waking him up instantly.
Before he even opened his eyes, Wei Huanxian asked, "How long have you been sleeping?"
The portable AI said: "You slept for 10 hours and it is now 1 a.m.."
That's enough.
Wei Huan opened his eyes, his eyes clear.
After all, we are still in another world, and there are still things to be done here. It is not the time to completely relax.
The portable AI continued, "While you were asleep, Challenge World sent a notification."
"What?"
"Congratulations on your victory in the Civilization War. Challenge World hopes you can quickly determine the locations of the three boundary gates."
Wei Huandan sat up, surprised: "Is victory already confirmed?"
"Yes, when you killed the Dark Beast King, you won the victory in the war of civilization."
“Why is there no system notification?”
He saw the unfinished tasks on the task panel and thought that he had to assist Moji in rebuilding the management of the Dark Beast Plane and completely take over this world in order to achieve the final victory.
But now think about it again, if he doesn't have Mo Ji, he won't have the ability to seize it. Does it mean that after killing the Dark Beast King, he still has to help it find a new king?
The fact that Moji could become the new Dark Beast King was a huge accident, but it was definitely not a predetermined correct answer.
Or maybe I've never thought about challenging the world. Is this still possible?
Wei Huan thought about it, got up, took a quick shower in the bathroom, and walked out feeling refreshed.
Outside the door, although it was late at night, the floating lights above my head were twinkling like stars, illuminating the entire scene.
There were still many people walking around in the temple. They should be the team members on duty. Mu Zhong was among them. He saw Wei Huan as soon as he walked out and turned to look at him.
This must be news of victory, right? The solemnity of before sleep faded from Mu Zhong's eyes; his entire body seemed to glow, overflowing with joy.
"Awake?" Mu Zhong came over. "I turned on the soundproofing mode when I left. I thought you were going to sleep all day. You woke up so early. Did you get any news?"
Wei Huan nodded.
Mu Zhong stared at Wei Huan's face, and Wei Huan looked at him in confusion.
Suddenly, Mu Zhong pounced on Wei Huan and hugged him tightly. His excited voice rang in his ears: "We won, Wei Huan, we won!"
The sluggish nerves seemed to start beating only at this moment. Wei Huan smiled, hugged the man, and said, "Yeah," "Yes, I won."
"Wei Huan."
"Um?"
"I'm feeling very complicated right now. I'm very happy, but I also feel like crying. But I've been holding it back, always waiting to see when you'll wake up. I don't know what I want to do, but I'm really happy right now."
"Yeah." Wei Huan's eyes curved, and he held him with his arms slightly tighter, shaking him affectionately, but he felt that this was not enough, so he used more strength to pick him up and turn him around.
Mu Zhong hugged his neck tightly, without saying a word, just hugging him very tightly.
Wei Huan stopped and kissed his cheek: "Are you crying?"
"No!" Mu Zhong denied it immediately, and then said, "I just want to hold you, I just want to hold you, let me hold you for a while longer!" At the end of the words, it sounded a bit fierce and became an order.
Wei Huan felt so warm inside that his hands became gentler. He gently stroked his back, rocking it like a child.
The patrol members passed by and saw this scene. Watched by Wei Huan's dark eyes, they all covered their mouths to suppress their laughter and walked away quietly on tiptoe.
Mu Zhong also heard it and his ears began to feel hot, but he did not let go of Wei Huan.
The body, which had been floating lightly since receiving the news, finally returned to its original place little by little. All the screams and cheers were integrated into this intimate hug. The two beating hearts stuck together and gradually became in the same rhythm.
This heart is also completely at peace.
Wei Huan held Mu Zhong for a long time, carried him to the patrol team and then walked back again, and finally, with his ears red, he was carried back to the room by Wei Huan.
He pressed Mu Zhong onto the bed, looked into his bright, clear eyes, and said, "Now it's your turn to sleep. Get up and celebrate tomorrow morning."
"How can I sleep?"
"Why can't you sleep?"
"I'm so excited..."
"Or do you want to be more tired? So tired that you fall asleep?"
"..." Mu Zhong blinked, his ears getting even hotter: "Okay."
"Hmm?" Wei Huan raised his eyebrows. This was an answer he didn't expect. This was on the battlefield, in the enemy's base camp. General Mu, who was always a gentleman and would button his uniform to the highest point, actually had such a bold idea?
But, why not?
A fierce battle, a victorious outcome, the hot blood that has not yet cooled down activated a hidden switch in the body, longing for a more satisfying release.
The men coming down from the battlefield are like hungry wolves.
The blood in Wei Huan's chest boiled instantly, and he looked at Mu Zhong with a ferocious look as if he wanted to eat him.
Mu Zhong smiled with his lips pursed, not afraid at all of being eaten. Instead, he looked at Wei Huan devoutly, like a sacrifice to the devil, with a thin layer of mist in his eyes.
He grabbed Wei Huan's hand and pressed it against his abdomen. He said, "Let me have a good sleep. It's okay if I pass out."
Wei Huan's eyes darkened, his rationality was quickly taken away in this process, and finally he suppressed it fiercely.
A hot, smoking word rolled out from his sliding Adam's apple: "Okay."
…
After dawn the next day, Wei Huan left a teleportation coordinate in the temple, then took a taxi and left the royal city to find Mo Ji.
Last night, Moji gathered 22 more dark beast kings, but there was still a big gap from the minimum standard of 200, so he had to kill the dark beasts.
After the victory of the war, Wei Huan had the right to place three boundary gates, but considering the current chaos in the Dark Beast Plane, it was obviously not suitable to place the boundary gates now.
After the war, in his opinion, the biggest benefit is that he is no longer restricted by the 30-day brave challenge and can stay in this world as long as he wants.
The Dark Beast Plane has become a trophy for them humans.
Since it is your own thing, you must treat it well. Stabilizing the turbulence in the Dark Beast Plane is the most basic thing.
In addition, before connecting the two worlds, Wei Huan needs to have a further understanding of this world, which will inevitably involve land division and the distribution of some precious materials.
This is not the two small worlds in the paradise. There is no need for the threshold of a level six world. It will be directly connected to the Blue Star, and it is bound to involve the division of interests among countries, which Wei Huan dislikes very much.
How could he not know that the various countries on Blue Star were now in a state of solidification and were fighting openly and secretly? He just had not yet taken the initiative to "kill the chicken".
If possible, he hopes he never has to "kill chickens".
In short, you should have a clear idea in your mind before taking the next step.
For the next few days, Wei Huan helped Moji consolidate his royal power. He would campaign for half a day and rest for half a day every day, relying on the teleportation array to travel between the two places. This was much easier than the earlier marches.
Moreover, after a few days, the seriously injured patients were discharged from the hospital with minor injuries, and the lightly injured team members recovered fully. After becoming familiar with the current environment, the work began to be divided and became increasingly easier.
Mu Zhong has always been in charge of the cleaning work of the royal city. Every day when Wei Huan returns, the living environment will be a little better. Mu Zhong also finds countless precious materials in the royal city.
After Wei Huan returned, Mu Zhong introduced him to various treasures the most. With the help of his Iron Heart, he was the perfect person to identify the treasures.
The most abundant thing in the Dark Beast Plane is the materials that can improve dark cultivation. The previously extremely rare "Dark Source" can only be regarded as an ordinary treasure in the Royal City. There are countless treasures better than the Dark Source.
Mu Zhong packed all of these up and took them away, leaving nothing behind.
"And this, the Ancient God Origin Stone." Mu Zhong took out a liquid that looked like a golden drop of water and said, "I also found this. This is different from the Ancient God Crystal. The Ancient God Origin Stone is a treasure like heart blood. I don't know how this Dark Beast King collected it, but there are a total of six drops. This is the material that can be used to forge god-level equipment, and it's not fake equipment wholesaled from Challenge the World. Your equipment can finally be upgraded."
Wei Huan was a little concerned: "What is the Ring of Mofidi?"
Mu Zhong said, "There are no fake artifacts, but most fake artifacts are just for show. This is because only our race uses weapons and equipment, and most of them are gifts from other races. Their quality is inflated, and their shortcomings will be exposed once they enter the real world."
Wei Huan nodded. Indeed, whether it was the Dark Beast Clan or the Sky Demon Clan, they were never seen wearing equipment.
For them, their own body is the most powerful weapon.
Mu Zhong added, "But divine weapons are different. First of all, we all have to make one thing clear: the divine level is not gods. The power of gods to master the laws, especially the upper gods, is probably beyond the challenge world, or at least cannot be grasped and controlled by the challenge world.
Divine artifacts are used by those gods who master the laws. They are not something that ordinary gods can forge with just a few high-quality materials. The power of the laws involved is beyond the knowledge of the gods.
"You mean the gods?"
"The Protoss is my general term for civilizations that have entered the ninth level. It's not an official name, but a distinction I personally want to make."
"That's accurate. Keep going."
Mu Zhong then continued, "So whether it's the artifact we collected materials to refine, or the artifact of the Mofidi Ring, they all really exist."
Wei Huan nodded.
The last time they came back from the Dark Beast Plane, they refined five pseudo-artifact weapons and gave them to Mu Zhong, Xu Qingqiang, Captain Xue, Brother Chui, and Jacques who had completed the advancement.
But it is obvious that although these pseudo-artifacts are stronger than platinum-level weapons, they are not as powerful as the half-artifact in Wei Huan's hand.
The two most obvious points are that the increase in the attributes of the pseudo-artifacts they refined is not a percentage increase, and it also does not increase their ability to understand the laws.
Even if Mu Zhong's staff can increase spiritual power by 5,000 points, it is a fixed amount. It seems a lot, but if compared with Wei Huan's staff, after the all-round 75% improvement, the dark power alone adds 23,000 points to Wei Huan, not to mention other attributes.
In addition, if we take into account the 5% comprehension of the laws, it is also a pseudo-artifact, but compared with the pseudo-artifact created by oneself, one is as far away as heaven and earth.
It's not even as hard as the ancient gods' weapons!
In fact, since then, everyone has realized the difference between pseudo-god-level and artifact fragments. Even though they are both at the level of pseudo-artifacts, one is like junk in the sewer, while the other is in the clouds in the sky.
It’s just that the matter is so serious that those who know the difference have chosen to keep silent.
This is also the reason why Wei Huan’s equipment has not been officially updated for many years.
Firstly, it was for confidentiality. Things were different now. He was no longer an ordinary challenger, but Marshal Wei, the commander-in-chief of the pioneering army, and the uncrowned king of Blue Star. Ordinary people could no longer spy on or discuss his strength at will.
Another thing is the abnormally strong properties of the Ring of Mofidi.
At that time, Wei Huan felt that the Ring of Mofidi was abnormally strong.
Looking back now, it was not the problem with the Ring of Mofidi, but their knowledge was only able to forge equipment of this level.
Without rules, everyone is scum!
On the contrary, even if the power of the law is only involved a little bit, it will make a world of difference.
Mu Zhong also said, "This is artifact material. In addition, the corpse of a god in the sixth-level world can also be used as artifact material, and it is very compatible with your attributes. However," Mu Zhong said, "We will collect the materials first. The artifact cannot be made yet."
Wei Huan nodded: "So the search for Mofidi must continue."
"Mofidi is also an ancient god." Mu Zhong said this time with great certainty, "I'm afraid we can't kill the ancient god yet."
Wei Huan shook his head and said, "Mofidi is sealed. Although the process of obtaining the Ring of Mofidi is also to help Mofidi unseal, but I want to challenge the world to arrange this move, it is obviously not for us to release Mofidi."
Mu Zhong understood immediately: "You mean to say that Mofidi is the biggest Easter egg that the challenging world has provided for our war of civilizations?"
Wei Huan nodded.
When Wei Huan first met Mofidi in the ruins of the secondary world, he was only Sequence Three at that time, but he could retreat calmly.
He had also seen Mofidi in the third and fifth level worlds. At that time, he was very powerful and had already stood at the top of humanity. If he met Mofidi, the chances would still be 50-50. He could either die or escape.
The same thing.
The emergence of the Challenge World is not to destroy human civilization, but to cultivate a powerful civilization, stand out from the battlefield of all races, and embark on the path of God.
He suppressed the ancient god Mofidi in the advanced ruins, and placed Mofidi's body in different time and space planes. When the challenger's level was high enough, he could always see Him, and then obtain the fragments after risking his life.
Just like the ancient stag beetle god that is challenging the world and suppressing it at this moment, such a terrifying giant is actually just the "foundation" of a civilization?
Obviously, in the eyes of "Challenge the World", the ancient gods are just "grindstones" that can be easily controlled and killed by Him, just to provide experience for different civilizations.
So……
What Wei Huan can be very sure of is that Mofidi's seal always exists. Even if he meets Mofidi now, it is a 50-50 chance. The brave one wins when two meet on a narrow road. Mofidi is his "grindstone" and also his "money-bringing boy".
Of course, he took Mofidi's things, and facing Mofidi's hatred, he would have a life-and-death battle with Mofidi sooner or later.
But at that time, his strength must have reached the level of going to war with the ancient gods. From a certain perspective, perhaps it is more of a recognition, right?
"Level 8 world..." Wei Huan said after figuring this out. "I will stay in this world for a long time, until I meet Mofidi. I must obtain the complete artifact."
Mu nodded. "The eighth-level world is not suitable for anyone other than you to stay in for a long time. I will take them back to the small world to practice. I may also stay there. With a 2 to 1 time flow rate, we will practice very quickly. Don't let us surpass you."
Wei Huan laughed: "You are cultivating at a certain level, while I am understanding the laws. If I get one point, you need ten points to catch up with my quality. To surpass me? Impossible."
"Tsk!" Mu Zhong shook his head and laughed, "Of course, you are the core of the Ninth Level World. If you are strong, we are strong, and if you are weak, we are weak. Only you can carry this burden."
Wei Huan doesn’t think this is a “burden”. He has always been at the forefront and he is used to it.
