Chapter 239, 'Unique' Upgrade Sequence Unlocked
Stay true to being a human being, or ascend to become a god?
This option is now in front of Gu Hang.
To be honest, the temptation to ascend to become a god is huge.
Immortality and eternal death, this is what many human rulers dream of.
Now, it is right in front of Gu Hang, ready for you to pick.
Although, Gu Hang had just killed an evil god with his own hands, it didn't mean that becoming a god was really that bad.
The reason why the original angry owl was doomed was because it died of its own stupidity.
Gu Hang is not like the Original Angry Owl, who is essentially a brainless beast that became a god. He believes that if he becomes a god, he will never end up in the same situation as that guy.
On the contrary, as long as he becomes a god at this moment, the things that the original Angry Owl has been pursuing for hundreds of years will be within his reach.
Hasn't that evil god always wanted to open the curtain between his kingdom of God and the real world, let his kingdom of God descend upon the earth, drag the entire Angry Owl Star from the material world into the real world, and make it a part of his kingdom of God?
After Gu Hang becomes a god, he will be able to do it immediately.
The Chaos Formation was ready-made, so he didn't need to worry about it; he didn't need to start a cult, the entire alliance government could be reassigned on the spot. These people who believed in him, respected him, and relied on him could soon be transformed into his power.
With the power brought by tens of millions of believers in the real world, the connection between his kingdom of God and the real world will be greatly strengthened. It won't take long for him to be able to bring the laws of the kingdom of God to the real world and cover the laws of physics.
At that point, the goal of the Kingdom of God coming to the earth has basically been achieved.
At the same time, he also had a springboard to the real world. He could lead the Angry Owl Star people who believed in him and the demon creatures he created in the kingdom of God to launch an expedition to the vast starry sky, dragging planets into his kingdom of God one by one, and enslaving countless people to become his believers...
"Dream on."
Gu Hang said coldly in his heart to something he didn't know whether it existed or not.
He has realized that this is by no means a smooth road, but a dead end, the kind that will surely lead to failure.
First of all, the most important point is that if he embraces the abyss of hell and completely accepts the control of psychic energy, then he will no longer be himself.
His will will be driven by the instincts given to him by the abyss of hell, and his thoughts will gradually be distorted and replaced. He will become a puppet of power, a part of the abyss of hell, and a slave to psychic energy...
No matter what he eventually becomes, it will no longer be himself.
Secondly, even if Gu Hang didn’t care about “I am no longer myself”, from the perspective of the coldest practical interests, doing so would be extremely stupid.
He could indeed easily pull Angry Owl Star into his kingdom of God and greatly enhance his own strength, but... then what?
Launch an expedition to the stars?
Stop kidding.
When he kills the battle nuns here, ascends to become a god, begins to convert people's beliefs, and covers the physical laws of the planet with the laws of the real world, the Imperial Navy in the sky will find out.
Even if that frigate couldn't do anything to him, what he would soon face was the attack from the Pegasus fleet, which was equipped with seven cruisers, thirty-three frigates, and hundreds of patrol ships.
By the way, tens of millions of star troops stationed in the Pegasus star region will also arrive.
By then, the number of imperial troops coming to fight him may be greater than the entire population of the Angry Owl Star.
If we win... then big things are about to happen.
The war machine of the human empire will really start at this moment. A larger fleet, hundreds of millions of Astra Militarum legions, will come to the Wrathful Owl Star again. Along with them, there may be some Skitarii of the Mechanicus, some troops of the Inquisition, some Battle Sisters of the Ecclesiarchy...
Even a fully-manned Space Marine Chapter, with their Chapter Fleet and mortal auxiliaries, arrived at the Wrathful Owl Star!
A planet being completely dragged into the abyss of hell and completely dominated by the laws of the warp is something the empire would never accept. For example, refer to the war that destroyed the Wrathful Owl Star.
Even the four real evil gods in the abyss of hell who cannot be named and who have divided up almost the entire abyss of hell, if they send their demons to directly participate in a full-scale invasion of an imperial world, there is a high probability that they will be driven back directly, not to mention the ascended Gu Hang.
A lesser god among lesser gods, I'm afraid that even after his death he would be called a nuisance.
Betraying humanity means death!
The emperor can bear witness to my loyalty!
"Dream on! I refuse!"
When he emphasized his attitude in his mind once again, a horrifying scream erupted from the depths of his soul!
Immediately, Gu Hang felt a sharp pain that tore his soul apart. The power that erupted from his heart was fully expanded in an instant, almost tearing him apart.
Although there were no words, Gu Hang felt as if there was a terrifying existence in the dark that was manipulating everything with the attitude of destroying him if it couldn't get what he wanted.
However, the [Iron Will] that had been silent for a while now began to work.
Gu Hang has already made his choice, so these things in his mind, in his heart, and in his soul are identified as harmful and are rejected by his [Iron Will].
However, Iron Will does not work in a vacuum. If something is not strong enough, it can be easily isolated. At present, the strength is a bit too high, which requires Gu Hang, the main body, to provide more abundant spiritual energy as the source for the ability of [Iron Will] to play a greater role.
But unfortunately...Gu Hang doesn’t have it now.
I had just finished a battle and was in a state of spiritual exhaustion.
If not for this, it wouldn't have been so easy to be taken advantage of in the first place.
But all in all, after [Iron Will] took effect, the pain in Gu Hang's soul was relieved a lot.
It still hurt, but at least he could think.
The first conclusion he came to was: If he continued like this, he would die in about two minutes.
The next thing to think about is how to save yourself.
Normally, there is no way. The spirituality has dried up, what else can be done?
But Gu Hang casually opened the system panel.
Here, he saw two changes.
First of all, in the [Hero] interface, on his own personal interface, the words "Inexperienced" that were originally displayed after reaching level 6 have been changed to "Upgradable".
Sure enough, it was expected.
Although Gu Hang's level had remained at level 5 for some time, many things that happened during that time were accumulated in the experience pool and did not disappear directly. Perhaps, when he was promoted from level 5 to level 6, he did not consume all the experience points. At this moment, he killed another evil god, which also brought a significant increase in experience points, allowing him to directly upgrade to level 7.
The increase in spiritual attributes that will inevitably come with the upgrade should be able to solve Gu Hang’s current problem.
However, after trying to click it, Gu Hang was a little dumbfounded.
The last time when I upgraded from level 5 to level 6, I needed 2,000 grace points; this time, to upgrade from level 6 to level 7, I need a full 10,000 grace points!
This is too exaggerated!
Gu Hang was indeed shocked by this number at first.
But then, after thinking about it carefully, it seems normal.
The amount of gift points needed to upgrade from level 4 to level 5 was only 500, and it became 2,000 for level 6. At this rate, it was only natural that level 7 would cost 10,000.
Gu Hang does not have enough gift points on hand now.
However, he did not forget that he also saw another changed screen in the system interface.
He exited the [Hero] interface and entered the event interface.
【Storm is Coming: Event Completed】
[The evil cult that believed in the original angry owl broke out in a final frenzy at the moment of destruction, summoning the evil god they believed in to step into the human world. However, you and your brave warriors stepped into the abyss of hell and faced the evil god head-on.]
[You not only repelled the attacking evil god, preventing it from descending to the human world, but you even killed it! ]
[No matter what choice you make later, you and your warriors have indeed achieved great things at this moment! ]
[Event Rewards:]
[Gift Points +15000]
[Your characteristic 'Enemy of the Storm' is upgraded to 'Master of the Storm']
[You are the master of the storm, the power of wind and thunder is at your disposal. You have mastered a series of storm magic, and you can now manipulate the power of the storm at will. Calling upon the power of the storm in any way will be absolutely suppressed. Your spiritual attribute +2. ]
very good!
Help in times of need!
After clicking confirm, the settlement reward of the event will be received.
The characteristics of the Storm Master itself are very strong and easy to use. Since then, Gu Hang has obtained a new psychic system in addition to the conventional telekinetic control psychic system. Moreover, purely from the perspective of destructive power, the power of the storm psychic power is obviously stronger.
Of course, this feature is useless at the moment.
But the two spiritual attributes attached to this characteristic are real.
It directly doubled Gu Hang’s spirituality!
In an instant, Gu Hang felt a sudden sense of coolness in his heart. The spiritual power that had been dried up began to grow significantly out of thin air.
It did not increase directly to the maximum. He felt that the total amount of spiritual energy he possessed now was about 60% of his full state.
However, even this 60% is almost his peak state before he obtained the [Storm Master] characteristic.
After obtaining this "fresh force", the protective effectiveness of [Iron Will] skyrocketed instantly!
Those malicious screams that wanted to tear his soul apart were completely blocked out. He could still hear a little bit, but it was harmless.
He could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Glancing over, he saw that Grit and her sisters were still being kept outside. But these female warriors were clearly very concerned about his condition, and their eyes were fixed on him across the crowd.
It's not a big trouble.
But Gu Hang was too lazy to pay attention to them for the time being.
He still has something very important to do.
He raised his eyes and looked towards the corpse of the Original Angry Owl in the distance.
After being killed, the evil god fell there, its huge body dissipating all the time. It was gradually decomposed into the most basic energy and returned to the real world.
The speed of dissipation is actually not slow, but its body is too huge, and it has not completely dissipated yet.
However, what Gu Hang was looking at at the moment was not these manifestations.
He could see through spiritual vision that there was something most core that was still caught between the real world and the real world.
That was the divine core of the original angry owl, or in other words, its true essence. In his spiritual vision, it looked like a glowing sphere.
The so-called "choice" mentioned above, to put it bluntly, is whether Gu Hang wants to merge with this thing.
The fusion was equivalent to embracing the Abyss of Hell, and the Abyss of Hell also accepted him, so he could naturally replace the original Angry Owl, become the God of Storms, and become that... lesser god among lesser gods.
He did choose to refuse, but this thing was caught in the veil of reality and he couldn't escape for the time being.
After [Iron Will] isolated the harassment of the soul scream, Gu Hang could still vaguely feel that this kingdom of God, which had lost its master, was gradually beginning to collapse. Without a master, it could no longer exist. In the next few days, this kingdom of God would collapse into the most common chaos in the abyss of hell.
At the same time, this place was gradually beginning to reject him and all beings that were not native to the real world.
But the feeling of rejection is not strong yet, and Gu Hang still has time to do something.
His spiritual power probed into the essence of the real world.
Don't get me wrong, Gu Hang certainly didn't want to merge with it. He just felt that this must be a good thing, including the collapsing Kingdom of God, which was a good thing.
It's such a pity that it was destroyed alive.
Either integrate or give up?
Gu Hang wants them all.
He was wondering if there was any way to master it other than fusion.
He tried to use his psychic power to probe, but found that it was not strong enough.
He can't control it.
The thing didn't have much power left, but its status was very high. Although it was very passive to be trapped in the reality curtain, all Gu Hang's attempts to use psychic power to drill in were blocked.
After thinking about it, Gu Hang did another thing.
He reopened the [Hero] interface and chose himself.
I wanted to upgrade to level seven just now, but I didn’t have enough grace points. But now, after receiving 15,000 grace points as an event reward, it is definitely more than enough.
He directly clicked on upgrade.
Ten thousand points of grace were gone in a flash, and were replaced by the familiar upgrade options.
The five familiar options still appeared before him.
This time, he would choose spirituality. Gu Hang had invested a lot in this direction and gained a lot. Next, if nothing unexpected happened, he would certainly stick to this path and go on in a polarized way.
If nothing unexpected happens, the leveling up may improve the attributes; if another spiritual talent is drawn, the spiritual attributes may be improved again. I don't ask for much, as long as I can increase two more spiritual points, the power that Gu Hang can control will be much stronger, and I should be able to try again to see if I can grasp the source of divinity.
However, as expected, things turned out... unexpectedly.
Just like every time he upgraded in the past, he would subconsciously click on the [Unique] option that he could never click on, and he did it this time.
Logically, there should be a prompt that says [Unique sequence upgrade item has not been unlocked yet, upgrade failed.], and then he should be asked to make a new choice.
But this time, it's different.
[The unique sequence upgrade item has been unlocked and the upgrade is successful. 】
