Chapter 768 Want to do something big
The scene was in chaos, the shadow of death loomed overhead, and the figure of the [God] seemed even taller. Even though the white shadows summoned were all heroes of civilization, they still felt a little breathless in the face of such a huge momentum.
Faced with more and more betrayers, Ye Jin's will itself was not that firm. He was angry for a moment, but that was just a moment of anger.
Then he fell into panic again, his voice dropping an octave: "If we seek refuge, the world will fall into despair... I would rather die here..."
As he spoke, he himself began to waver.
Immediately afterwards, another white figure stood up, his body trembling with excitement: "[God], please accept our surrender!"
"We want to become a Level 5 civilization, a Level 6 civilization, or even a peak civilization! Could you fulfill our wish?"
The blood-red [God] said calmly: [You are all outstanding contributors to Pangu Continent.]
【After joining us, you will become an advanced civilization. 】
It vaguely recalled the past: [In the last era, we were once like you.]
This line is very clear, these twelve [gods] actually just defected to the past.
Bai Ying was suddenly overjoyed and actually prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed.
He exclaimed loudly, "That's right. In every era, God has won, and the Ninth Era is no exception!"
"What a peak civilization, it's just a lost dog."
"If we continue to develop step by step, we will never reach the seventh level of civilization in our lifetime. Now we have the opportunity to reach the seventh level in one step."
These people are completely spineless. They sang the same tune and their tone seemed fanatical and even a little flattering.
"Everyone, let us go over there together."
"Standing on the side of the victor is the wise choice!"
"The peak civilizations of every dynasty are nothing but losers. They fled to the Sea of Chaos and will never return!!"
The situation began to become precarious. With the betrayal of this group of people, the balance of the situation was rapidly tilting towards God.
One after another, the white shadows began to waver in their thoughts and remained silent, not daring to speak.
They knew that the matter was serious and there was no such thing as a free lunch.
If I go there, the whole world might immediately enter the late era!
Even one's own civilization will be sacrificed in blood, and it will become impossible to regret it at that time.
But people always have a herd mentality and a tendency to take chances. Seeing so many people wanting to join, I couldn't help but start to waver as well. This was inevitable. The influence of conceptual ability, coupled with a large group of people starting to comfort themselves, would inevitably make even the strongest people feel uneasy.
If you don't surrender, you will die now.
If you go there, there might be a glimmer of hope.
The twelve [gods] surrounding the crowd remained calm, showing no joy or sorrow.
They watched these ants enter the debate session without stopping or disturbing them.
It was as if this scene had happened many times before, and even if there were some minor changes this time, it would not prevent the final outcome from happening...
"Which civilization do you belong to? How dare you comment on the previous peak civilization? The Pangu Continent has been able to last for nine epochs, all thanks to their hard work." The metallurgist of the artisan civilization is still refuting and struggling.
He was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and his finger almost pointed at the other person's nose.
The white figure remained expressionless, even sneering faintly: "What, Grandmaster Metallurgy, you want to start a war? You want to destroy us!"
"Do you know who I am?"
"You don't know, do you?"
Ye Jin's momentum suddenly stagnated. He didn't recognize any of these people except Lu Yuan.
The other party continued, "But I know who you are. You are the Grand Master of the Artisan Civilization, a master of metallurgy. What an incredible identity!"
There was a hint of sarcasm in the tone.
"But here, you are just an ant. If God tells you to die, you must die."
"You are standing here now only because of God's grace!"
For most civilizations, the artisan civilization is an existence worthy of admiration. When you meet them in normal times, you can only flatter them. Who dares to speak harshly to them?
But at this moment, some white shadows developed a convert frenzy, wishing to drag everyone down with them, and began to mock desperately.
"Grandmaster of Metallurgy, if you don't surrender, you will die."
"Your civilization will also be destroyed. Can you bear the responsibility?!"
Ye Jin had never endured such immense pressure before, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm just one person. If I die, I die. If I go over there, I might bring disaster upon the entire civilization! There's no such thing as a free lunch!"
The other party laughed and said, "Then go to hell. After I become a God, I will be the first to attack your Artisan civilization."
It felt as if the whole world was pressing down on his head. He was so angry that his whole body was shaking, but he couldn't find a word to refute.
Even in Ye Jin's mind, a thought arose: "Do I really have to surrender..."
"Becoming a minion of God is the right choice?! No, no..."
He was struggling, his mind in disarray.
Lu Yuan was watching the fire from the other side of the river at this moment, his heart pounding and his mind racing.
He forcibly suppressed his desire to use the [Greedy Demon], and the closer he got to the critical moment, the clearer his mind became.
"Calm down. Don't rashly use the [Demon of Greed]."
"These damn traitors might be Tom!"
"If their civilization wasn't strong enough, how could they possibly become powerful?! What contributions have they made to the world?"
"Can you compare with me? Compare with Metallurgist?!"
"They are just a bunch of shills!!"
Metallurgy, after all, is one of the best master craftsmen in the alliance and has made great contributions to the field of idealistic industrialization.
His status is equivalent to Lu Yuan's status in Green City, which is definitely not low.
"So there aren't many truly powerful people on the field. Maybe even only a small fraction, 10? 20?"
"These White Shadow traitors...perhaps they were originally leaders of the fallen civilization of the Western Continent. They are merely puppets of the Gods."
"Everything is just to shake our minds and make us surrender to the past."
Once I figured this out, everything became clear!
Lu Yuan's eyes became brighter and brighter.
Yes, any truly outstanding person from a level five civilization would be so ambitious. How could they possibly crawl on the ground and kowtow?
It's ridiculous!
"[God] has not yet risen, and has not yet come."
“It’s all just a scam!”
"Their combat effectiveness depends on our understanding. The thoughts of these traitors are actually irrelevant. If all the [High-ranking Officials] are truly shaken, then there will be no way to save the situation."
Lu Yuan immediately roared, "Everyone, be quiet! Listen to me!"
Although he had just been attacked by God and was covered in blood like a bloody man, it was undeniable that his reputation was too great and his status too high.
All the noise stopped instantly.
He is the most powerful person standing here, and one person is equal to the sum of all the others!
The fire in the pupils of the twelve [gods] was still flickering, and they stared coldly at the scene without any joy or sadness.
But those traitors were clearly agitated, and the white shadows seemed to be trembling: "Sir Lu Yuan, have you figured it out?!"
Lu Yuan's intuition was so strong that he noticed all these emotional reactions and muttered to himself, "God is indeed a veteran actor. He doesn't show any emotion at all."
"But these new actors do have limited acting skills, and their emotional fluctuations are clearly too dramatic."
“Maybe it’s because my weight is too high?”
"If you can persuade me to surrender... perhaps God will descend upon this world immediately..."
"But if I reveal the truth, I will be suppressed immediately... After all, the [God] still has some power. So I only have one chance. I must immediately change everyone's mindset and significantly weaken the [God]."
The air seemed heavy, as if it was the eve of a storm, and a violent thunderstorm was about to hit.
Lu Yuan stood in the center of the square and said solemnly, "In my human civilization, there is a story that God will send a human leader to rebuild civilization in the end times and bring universal peace and justice!"
"In my Great Eastern Kingdom, there's a saying that goes, 'To bestow a great responsibility upon a man, one must first make his heart and mind suffer, his muscles and bones toil, his body hungry and empty, and his actions frustrated. This is to move his heart and harden his nature, and to enable him to achieve what he already possessed."
"I, Lu Yuan, have experienced countless hardships in my life and have gone through countless difficulties to reach this point now."
"Now that I've encountered something like today, I must be a natural leader sent by God!"
His words simply shocked everyone. How could there be such a shameless person in the world?
Even the metallurgists of the Artisan Civilization were confused, and their first reaction was that Lu Yuan was mentally ill... Because in the Buzhou Alliance, he often came into contact with Lu Yuan, and in his impression, Lu Yuan was relatively humble and polite, and it was absolutely impossible for him to say such a thing.
Then a chill ran down my spine. What "God" is this? What are you talking about?
The subtext of Lu Yuan's words is - do you want to surrender?
The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
If a highly respected person like Lu Yuan defected, the situation might become irreversible like a surging river!
After hearing Lu Yuan's words, even the twelve gods' eyes began to flicker with fire.
The air around him became increasingly stagnant.
Lu Yuan's status and power are too high. It can even be said that as long as they can influence Lu Yuan, their summoning ceremony will be considered complete and the success cannot be more successful!
In the past, these people were truly tough and impossible to persuade to surrender. They successfully delayed the arrival of the epochal disaster by sacrificing themselves bravely.
But this time it seems that a big cunning person has come.
As long as Lu Yuan starts to waver, others will inevitably waver immediately.
Then, under the influence of conceptual ability, they will immediately descend and become true [Gods].
"The decision you made is indeed a wise choice." A white shadow interrupted in the middle of the conversation. Judging from his tone, he was extremely happy, and his voice was trembling and a little exaggerated.
"You don't need to waste your time talking here." Lu Yuan said coldly, "I, Lu Yuan, am a leader sent by God. My power is hundreds and thousands of times greater than yours."
The other party suddenly felt a breath stuck in his throat, feeling a little unhappy. Your status is indeed higher than mine, but we are all defectors and spies from Pangu Continent. What makes you feel so good about yourself?
Lu Yuan continued, "I have encountered countless risks in my life."
"[Demons], [ghosts], [monsters], I have all been defeated by them in my life. What's more, I have encountered them since my human civilization was still at the first level."
These words were very strange, and seemed to be showing off, but made the people present even more baffled. It was indeed terrifying for a first-level civilization to encounter the four natural disasters, but what was the point of you showing off here?
Lu Yuan's eyes were determined, and he was counting the white shadows around him in his mind.
One, two, three...
The six traitors were right next to him, less than ten meters away.
It is difficult to immediately reverse the mental imprint that God has just made.
"Thus, extraordinary people lead to extraordinary events, and extraordinary events lead to extraordinary achievements... I must be extremely extraordinary, so that these people will temporarily forget the stamp of God's thought."
Yes, it is very difficult to change people's hearts.
Unless Lu Yuan uses the power of the [Greedy Demon] to confront these [Gods] head-on and fight them to the death, he can break the concept that "[Gods] are not powerful at the moment."
But the price is... you will never be able to find peace from now on.
[God] will mobilize all his forces to destroy human civilization.
This risk cannot be taken!
Lu Yuan must use human methods to reverse the situation.
He exclaimed, "My life has been a journey of treading on thin ice. Even though I've encountered countless difficulties, I've always been able to turn them into good fortune. In the end, I even created such a great achievement as [Mythical Industrialization]."
"Then I realized that if God really exists, then I am indeed a natural-born leader."
"[Everything I do is right], [I am the son of destiny, and my choices are the direction of the great trend of the times]!"
"Metallurgy, will you follow my path?"
Ye Jin suddenly realized that everyone's attention was focused on him, and he couldn't help but tremble with anxiety.
He was merely a craftsman, even if he was already a myth, but not every myth was a warrior. In this crucial situation, his mind was like a ball of paste, working like a millstone covered in mud.
What does this mean? Surrender yourself?
If an artisan civilization and a human civilization secretly surrendered to the [God], the entire Buzhou Alliance would be devastated.
Those are comrades, friends, and trillions of people!
Ye Jin's eyes instantly turned red. He would rather die here than surrender to God.
But even if he is very principled and does not surrender, he will die directly; even if Lu Yuan surrenders, there will still be traitors in the Buzhou Alliance and the outcome will not change.
Then, in the next instant, he suddenly shuddered: "Why does this weird conversation sound like someone wants to make a big profit?!"
"Yeah, he...he wants to do something big."
