Chapter 390 The Bugs Are Coming
The man was strolling in the heavens of the universe, with the stars under his feet. In an instant, it seemed as if he had crossed endless light years and was dancing on the longitude and latitude of time and space.
He did not belong to this space, so he disappeared in an instant like a meteor across the sky.
The vast universe came to an end in the blink of an eye, and the tiny nebulae disappeared into nothingness in the extreme nothingness.
When he regained consciousness, where was the universe? And what man had come from the stars? It seemed like an illusion, yet it left an eternal mark on the seventh-level mage's heart, like the bright moon hanging high in the night sky.
"Ah! We are saved!"
"The monster is gone!"
"I'm really saved! That's great, I don't have to die!"
The seventh-level mage turned around in surprise when he heard the sound, only to find that the monsters that had just been wreaking havoc in front of him were now nowhere to be seen. They disappeared silently. If it weren't for the ruins in front of him, it would be as if they had never existed.
"It was that man who did it!"
"What kind of man is that? You don't even know Marshal Dou?"
"What? He is Dou Lin, Marshal Dou?"
"That's right, you wouldn't fail to recognize such an iconic star field, right? He's the current commander-in-chief of the pioneering army, the successor to Marshal Wei!"
Upon hearing this, the seventh-level mage looked in the direction where Marshal Dou had disappeared, and his mind was filled with all the information about Marshal Dou, his heart pounding with excitement.
That’s right, it’s Marshal Dou, a man who was born in the Challenge World and was almost exploited by bad guys. Later, he was rescued and raised by Marshal Wei. He grew up and fought in the Challenge World since he was a child. He was called the “darling of the Challenge World” and a brilliant genius.
I heard that when Marshal Wei achieved the realm of law, Marshal Dou also had his own star domain. He was only 19 years old at that time.
Now, 37 years have passed. After Marshal Wei went to the ninth-level world, Marshal Dou was called the number one person on Blue Star, and his martial arts skills reached the current ceiling of mankind.
Before this, it was hard to imagine what the combat power of the "human ceiling" would be like?
But after today, everyone here understood.
He just walked over here, and with a casual movement, the beast tide that looked like the end of the world in their eyes was destroyed. The king-level demon ape monster could not even last a second in the hands of Marshal Dou and was killed.
This terrifying fighting power is the pillar of humanity and a beacon for challengers like them!
"I wish I were as strong as Marshal Dou."
"Marshal Dou is the most talented person after Marshal Wei and General Xu. I'm not talking about becoming as strong as him, but just reaching the elite level to be able to board that chariot is enough."
"Well, I don't even dare to think about getting on that chariot. Now I'm just thinking about earning more points here. I can save enough to go to the blessed land and cave heaven of the sixth level world to practice. One year is equivalent to two or three years of hard training for me outside."
"That's right, I think so too. Instead of thinking about those unrealistic wishes, I just need to get stronger every day."
"Let's go, let's see if anyone is still alive. This time it was too tragic, most of the people died. If it weren't for Marshal Dou showing up, we would all be dead here. But who knows why Marshal Dou would appear here? Did he come here specifically to save us?"
No one knew why Marshal Dou appeared. His appearance and departure were so fast that people could not react. Even the local garrison was unaware of it.
In about three minutes, more than ten tanks arrived here. They were all level eight tanks, including two level nine tanks.
After the tank circled overhead, it stopped at the enclave, and the soldiers in the tank landed to carry out post-disaster rescue and cleanup work.
Part of the truth about Marshal Dou's appearance here was revealed.
"I don't know why, but Marshal Dou has been walking all the way from the first-level world to the higher-level worlds since three days ago. He didn't use any gates or chariots, and he walked all by himself until today, when he reached the seventh-level world. It seems he's about to reach the eighth-level world."
"Hiss! Traveled through seven worlds!?"
"Marshal Dou's star field is very special. It can be used to travel very quickly, even faster than a chariot. It's only because he walked purely on foot without using a boundary gate that he has been able to reach this day."
“I don’t understand why, but I feel like it must make sense.”
"That's right, that's Marshal Dou. He must have a reason for doing this."
The seventh-level mage listened with fascination and gained a great deal of knowledge, but after listening for so long, he still didn't understand a single point. He couldn't help but ask, "Boss, why does Marshal Dou's star field have such a terrifying and oppressive quality? It's like it's imprisoned by some terrifying monster. Or is the field just that terrifying?"
The people around him looked at each other in bewilderment, then shook their heads. "Ah? A terrifying sense of oppression? A trapped monster? What are you talking about? I didn't feel anything. You must be shocked by the first time you've seen the domain. After all, the domain involves the power of the laws, and it is indeed extremely powerful."
"Is that so?" The seventh-level mage felt something was wrong, but he finally accepted the answer. "The domain is really powerful. I wish I could cultivate a domain."
"It's been over ten years since a new domain expert appeared. Domains involve the power of laws and are said to be extremely difficult to comprehend. If you have an idea, then work hard on it."
"yes!"
…
Ninth-level world
Human City
In front of the boundary gate
In just two years, the human race has restored five boundary gates. Human civilization, which was once forced to retreat to the eighth-level world, has returned after the boundary gates were opened.
During these two years, a new human civilization won the civilization challenge and got the opportunity to enter the ninth-level world.
Under the protection of the gods, the five cities of the human race are developing prosperously and exuding youthful and enthusiastic vitality.
But even so, the number of people heading to this core city where the gods reside is still the largest. The figures in front of the gate keep flashing, and more than a thousand people move every second.
However, as an important city for the human race in the battlefield of all races, such flow volume has not reached the peak period of the human race. Titan, who has management experience, continues to use the previous system, maintaining order in the chaos.
Among these, route planning is one, and the restriction of the capabilities of each race is also crucial.
No matter whether it is the first time for a challenger to come to the ninth-level world or a challenger who frequently travels back and forth to this important city, after being teleported to this city where gods exist, even the most vicious villains will restrain their abilities and walk in the city like ordinary people.
True respect exists in words and deeds, obeying the laws of the city, restraining one's temper, and doing everything according to the rules.
That's why the city works so well.
But on that afternoon, when the sun was just setting, a short-lived human challenger stepped out of the portal.
As soon as he appeared, he attracted everyone's attention.
Not only was he wearing the uniform of the Blue Star Legion, a clan of gods, but the most important thing was that he actually unfolded his domain.
The terrifying power of the domain tore the space apart, as if it was forcibly integrated into the starry sky of the universe.
The man strolled in the starry sky. With every step he took, a planet appeared under his feet. The entire universe was filled with magnificent nebulae and beautiful star clusters. The faint starlight wove a dreamy and dazzling cloak behind him, stretching for who knows how many light years.
All of this is so different that it not only makes him a dazzling presence, but also makes him look so different.
The rule-abiding challengers stayed away, just watching curiously. But some naturally angry young men immediately questioned the situation: "This is a major city. Aren't the rules strict? Can the clan members be so unscrupulous?"
Unexpectedly, someone beside him whispered to him, "Families also have to follow the rules, but families are indeed different and don't have to be so strict."
The angry young people were even more furious: "What's so great about having a field? You're releasing it so openly, who are you trying to scare?"
The person who answered him said, "Having a domain is indeed remarkable. There are over 20 billion humans in the Ninth Level World, but there are only 23 domain masters in total."
The angry young man's eyebrows were burning with anger: "But he can't be so ostentatious like this!"
The person next to him smiled gently and said, "He has both a domain and a clan. Look, he still has the clan leader badge on his shoulder. He's supposed to be different this way."
The angry young man finally couldn't stand it anymore, turned around and glared at the people around him, but all the words in his heart were stuck in his throat.
There was no other reason. The person who spoke to him was also a member of the God's clan, and judging from the shoulder straps on his uniform, he was of a high rank. He looked chubby and smiling, and seemed amiable, but his identity alone made people dare not underestimate him.
The fat man bowed with a smile, then shouted to the man who was standing high in the air: "Dou Lin, here, pull me up."
The majestic young man lowered his head, a smile on his serious face. Amidst the jaw-dropping look of the angry young man next to him, he used his domain to pull the fat man up and respectfully called out, "Hello, Brother Orange Juice."
"Hey, okay, very good. How did you find time to come to the ninth level world?"
"Brother Huan asked me to do something."
"Is it related to your brother Xu?"
"Yes, whether or not we can rescue Brother Xu may depend on this one move."
"What are you waiting for? Go quickly!"
Dou Lin looked troubled. "Something unexpected happened. I need to expand my domain to the temple. I'm afraid the area around the temple will have to be cleared for ten miles and martial law will be imposed."
"Ah, let me ask this for you..."
Liu Chengzhi knew that the matter was urgent and human lives were at stake, so he turned on the screen projection and was about to call Wei Huan.
Who knew that before he could dial the number, the projection screen popped up, revealing Wei Huan's face.
In order to maintain Xu Qingqiang's vitality, he has been maintaining the appearance of a god these days. The tear marks at the corners of his eyes, the divine pattern between his eyebrows, and his pale golden lips all make him look divine and difficult to approach, but this does not include the important relatives and friends around him.
"Boss, Dou Lin is back." Liu Chengzhi said.
Wei Huan nodded: "I know, everything has been arranged along the way, come over."
"Okay, I'll be right there." Liu Chengzhi responded with a smile.
"Got it." Dou Lin responded seriously.
"Can I go and take a look too?" Liu Chengzhi was very curious.
"...Come on." Wei Huan said and closed the communication.
Dou Lin took Liu Chengzhi forward. Titan, who had received the news, had already rushed over. The city guards she brought with her blocked the avenue, and in a short time, an uninhabited avenue leading directly to the temple was formed.
Dou Lin nodded to Titan, then stepped onto the planet and disappeared in a flash.
With his departure, the scene in front of the gate became lively again.
But this time the excitement was even greater than before, as everyone was discussing this powerful figure in the field who had never appeared before.
"The star field seems to be an extremely powerful law."
"That's right. Once you become a god, the spatial power of the star field will be extremely powerful."
"But the more powerful the domain, the harder it is to become a god."
"This is just for us. The Blue Star clan has countless geniuses. Under the protection of the Demon Lord, it is only a matter of time before this Lord becomes a god."
"But did you hear what they just said?"
Dou Lin and Liu Chengzhi ran all the way to the temple without stopping. Everyone along the way looked at his unfolding domain with awe and envy, and they also envied the fat man who could be in the domain with a strength of only Sequence Seven.
This fat man is a person who is extremely favored by the gods. He is usually by their side. Although he is only Sequence Seven, he is surrounded by powerful people from the divine realm. However, he is low-key and humble. I heard that he has a very good reputation and can cook delicious food.
When they arrived near the temple, all the irrelevant people had been sent away. The remaining Blue Star Legion soldiers were standing at the door. When they saw Dou Lin, they did not ask him to salute. They just opened the wide-open temple door and made way for him. The air inside the door was so thick that one could see the deathly aura.
The polluting nature of death energy creates a terrifying scene in the eyes of the enemy, but for the clan, what they see are well-dressed, handsome or beautiful undead standing on both sides, bowing to them and welcoming them all the way to the presence of the gods.
Wei Huan stood in front of the statue in the temple.
Now the statue has changed from a stone ball to a statue of him, and it actually has his aura, as if the god really exists.
"What did you bring back?" Wei Huan turned his head to look at the two people in front of him, but his gaze had already fallen on the depths of the Dou Lin star field, looking at the secrets in the depths with an inquiring eye.
"What did you bring?" Liu Chengzhi followed Wei Huan's gaze and turned back curiously.
Then a pitch-black beetle slowly flew out from the depths of the star field.
The beetle is not big, but it has an amazing aura and the breath of a god in its body, but it is far inferior to the power of a god.
There are ten golden eyes on its dark and round back. When the sheath is opened, the transparent wings inside spread out like a graceful veil, dragging the length of a galaxy.
After revealing itself, it said: "Death, we meet again."
"Ah, what is this?" Liu Chengzhi didn't expect that such a terrifying insect would appear behind him. He was so scared that his legs went weak. It was not until Wei Huan's breath enveloped him that he was able to stand firm under the pressure of the god.
"Ancient God, the Ancient God of Dark Beasts." Wei Huan said.
"The Dark Beast Ancient God is just a small stage in my long life."
"Then how should I address you?"
"My name is 'Chong'."
That’s right, the oldest ancestor of the Zerg, the first bug at the beginning of the universe, “bug” is indeed its name, so the Zerg calls themselves that.
"Hello, Ancient God Worm, I didn't expect you to come here in person."
"The years of being suppressed by the Challenge World were too long. I haven't been out and about for a long time. The Zerg's sacrifice gave me some power, allowing me to create an avatar and finally enter the Challenge World through the channel of Blue Star. I also have to thank its star field for shielding me from the rules of the Challenge World. However," after a pause, Zerg said with some concern, "In a certain world, a little guy in the cracks of space seems to have discovered my existence. If he describes me, the Challenge World will send me away. I don't have much time."
Dou Lin looked at the captain of the guards: "Go check it out."
"yes!"
Wei Huanze continued talking with Chong.
He handed the meatball in his hand forward: "Take a look."
The insect's tentacles trembled, and its ten eyes opened and closed in sequence, staring at the flesh ball. It said, "It is the power of the original law, but the most fundamental part cannot be obtained, causing its power to dissipate bit by bit."
Wei Huan frowned tightly: "Yes, that's why I came to see you."
"Does this count as a move?"
"Well, please do your best."
"Can."
As the conversation between the two gods ended, the war, which had been briefly suspended, broke out again. This time, the target of the Undead Scourge was the Beast God Clan.
After learning the intelligence ahead, the Golden Horned Dragon King roared angrily, "Why my Beast God Clan? Damn humans! Damn disaster! Hurry! Hurry, ignore the Free Alliance, go to the Abyss Clan, and demand a large number of Abyss Clan sacrifices. We must ensure that our Beast God can descend smoothly!"
Later, the demons hiding deep underground in the orc territory also received this information one after another.
They didn't seem to have changed much. These demon leaders simply killed the demons that came to report intelligence, and used their blood to consolidate the magic array patterns in the cave.
The devil's mumbling echoed in the cave: "m...m...m..."
In order to rescue Xu Qingqiang, Wei Huan sent troops out quickly, but when he arrived at the territory of the Beast God Clan, he slowed down his offensive and took a steady approach.
It took five full days to destroy the border wall erected by the Beast God Clan in their territory, and they advanced forward calmly.
His purpose was simple. He was afraid that the Beast Gods would not offer sacrifices to summon the gods, giving them enough time to prepare and wait for the God of Blood to come.
The Calamity God's slowness clearly gave the Beast God Clan the wrong signal. At the battle meeting convened by the Golden Horned Dragon King, the Beast Clan's powerful warriors affirmed, "Calamity must have been injured in the last battle with the Ancient God. This is our chance to kill Him."
"The Chong is an ancient creature that has existed since the beginning of the universe. Its strength far exceeds that of ordinary gods. When it was roaming and dominating the universe, the human race on Blue Star had not yet been born."
"The newly born God of Disaster can't possibly be stronger than the Ancient God, Worm. In that quick-fought battle, it was inevitable that Disaster would be injured. But what I'm more concerned about is why so many Ancient Gods have disappeared. Even my own Ancient God of Creation, Beast, hasn't heard from him in over 100 million years."
The Golden Horned Dragon King said, "That's right. Finding the beast's traces is the mission of our clan from generation to generation. But now we can put this matter aside for the time being. Killing the disaster is more important."
After saying this, the Golden Horned Dragon King looked around and said, "We must hurry up and prepare the sacrifices. Our warriors are also on high alert. We must win this time. As long as we kill the Calamity, not only will we and our tribe survive, but perhaps the next Calamity will be born in our tribe."
"That's right, kill the disaster, and the disaster will come back!"
"Disaster Reincarnation!"
"Disaster Reincarnation!"
The cheers in the Beast King Hall were deafening, and Wei Huan frowned thousands of miles away.
He looked at the ball of flesh that he had nourished with his divine power day and night, but he still couldn't stop his breath from fading away.
If we don’t hurry up, Xu Qingqiang will really die.
Moreover, if he died in the process of seeking the truth, even if he could condense Xu Qingqiang's soul, he would become a spirit from then on and lose the qualifications to become a god.
Wei Huan's expression became more tense as he felt Xu Qingqiang's breath grow weaker and weaker every day.
Dou Lin was in awe of Wei Huan. He had been feeling Wei Huan's pressure these days, and he felt very stressed and anxious.
As a powerful expert who has cultivated to the ninth level, he even had a blister in his mouth due to indigestion these days.
He wrapped the blood bubbles in his mouth and heard the ancient god's clone, the worm he had brought here secretly, say in the expanding realm: "He's almost dying. What are you waiting for?"
Wei Huan said, "Wait for more sacrifices. If the Blood God doesn't come, everything will be in vain."
Wei Huan looked into the distance, a faint light flashing in his dark eyes, and his brows relaxed a little: "They are moving too slowly. I have already sent a large number of sacrifices on the way, and they will be here soon."
…
Although the atmosphere in the Beast King Hall was quite positive, when it came to really going against the God of Disaster, every leader and strong man felt uneasy.
Even the King of the Golden Horned Beasts was in a place where the other beasts couldn't see him, with a sad look on his face.
In the past two days, the Abyss Clan has discovered their actions. Because they don't want to get involved in the battle with the God of Disaster, they didn't settle accounts with them, but they also moved the demons away from every area bordering their territory.
The offerings were not enough.
The God of Disaster is getting closer and closer, and will arrive at the royal city in a few days.
Even though they had decided to fight the God of Disaster to the death in the royal city, the Beast God still sacrificed a large number of warriors in order to stop the God of Disaster. The ever-increasing number of warriors painted scarlet bloodshot in its eyes every day and every moment.
But the offerings are not enough...
"Report!" A flying dragon soldier flew in from outside the hall. When he landed, he lost his balance because of his fast speed. He fell and rolled all the way and fell in front of the Golden Horned Dragon King.
Finally, with its face bruised and swollen, it excitedly said, as the Golden Horned Dragon King looked at it, ready to devour it in one gulp: "A huge number of Free Alliance wanderers have appeared in our territory. The number exceeds, exceeds one billion!"
"What!?" The Golden Horned Dragon King was instantly excited, but then he forced himself to calm down. "What's going on? Tell me in detail."
"They are all wanderers from the Free Alliance. To avoid being surrounded by humans, they took a detour and entered our territory from the rear."
It’s like pie in the sky!
The Golden Horned Dragon King did not expect that such a good thing would happen at this critical moment. It was not that he had not thought about whether this coincidence was a trap, but after thinking about it, he knew who would benefit in the end if it was a trap.
The more sacrifices he makes, the more gods he can summon, the more powerful the gods will be, and the higher his chances of killing this god of disaster will be.
The pie that fell from the sky also fed the Beast God Clan. It was obvious that Lord Tiandao was on the side of the Beast God Clan.
"Go, catch them, don't let any of them go, there's hope of victory this time!" The Golden Horned Dragon King gave the order with a cruel smile on his face.
