Seeing that Angelina had successfully passed the verification of the Guardian Golem, Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile happily. γChinese Net. Startersγ
Angelina also exhaled a long breath, closed her eyes, and couldn't help patting her chest.
No matter how confident she was, she couldn't help but be nervous or even scared when she was stared at for a long time by two guardian golems that could easily tear her apart like before. Fortunately, the quality of her divine bloodline passed the test and successfully won the recognition of the guardian golem.
When she opened her eyes again, the golden light in Angelina's eyes dissipated.
She turned her head, looked at Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng happily, and said, "Chu, Bruce, I passed the test!" You can open the gate and get the Divine Shield! β
Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng looked at her with a smile and said in unison, "Congratulations." β
After saying congratulations, Li Qing asked again, "Can we go in with you now?" β
"Still won't work." Angelina shook her head and said regretfully, "Only those who pass the test will not be attacked by the guardian golem. The rest, no matter who they were, could not enter the guard range of the Guardian Golem. This is also to prevent someone from holding the Divine Descendants hostage and using the Divine Descendants to seize the artifact. β
Speaking of this, she looked at Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng apologetically, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Chu, Bruce, I'm sorry, I was negligent before, I brought you here, but I caused you to run away in vain......
"It's fine." Li Qing waved his hand generously and said with a smile: "If we can see these two guardian golems, our trip will not be in vain." β
Chu Lingfeng also nodded and smiled: "Not bad." These two guardian golems alone are worth the trip. Then again......" She folded her arms and put her hand on her chin, looked at the two guardian golems, and said, "The guardian golems are not flesh and blood, they cannot be infected by the plague, and they have unparalleled strength, if you can get them out of the way...... Isn't it easier for us to get out of town? If you could get them to Angelina, your camp would be safer, wouldn't your camp be safer? β
"These two guardian golems can't be moved." Angelina shook her head and said with a look of regret, "They are divine puppets created by His Highness Prometheus, and their duty is to guard the secret room where the shield of divine blessing is stored. Without the orders of His Highness Prometheus, even if the Divine Shield was taken, they would not leave here for a single step. No matter how powerful a person is, as long as he is not a true god, he can only destroy them, and it is impossible to take them away. Even if I am the Divine Bloodline, I can't take them with me. β
Hearing her say this, Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng shook their heads regretfully at the same time.
Li Qing sighed regretfully: "It's a pity. Such a powerful guardian golem can only stand here in a daze in vain...... It's a waste of resources. β
Speaking of this, Li Qing suddenly had a whim and said:
"Angelina, as a descendant of His Royal Highness the Guardian God, or a descendant of a person with an extremely high concentration of divine bloodlines, can't you communicate with His Highness Prometheus and ask him to help you give you the authority to command the two Guardian Golems? Although the gods are high, but now the continent of Calondo has reached the most dangerous moment, and it is impossible for the gods to stand idly by, right? β
Li Qingzhi said that the gods need believers.
Su Su once said that all gods who have not reached the realm of ancient gods must rely on the plane and believers to exist. The faith of believers is the source of the power of the gods, the powerful root.
The more believers, the more powerful the gods become. And once all the believers are lost and forgotten by the world, the gods will slowly weaken, fall into a deep sleep, or even die completely.
Therefore, the gods who have attained strength and immortality through faith also have an obligation to protect believers.
The continent of Calondo has now broken out with a world-shattering plague, and countless living beings have been infected by the plague and turned into living corpses, and the believers of the gods can be said to have suffered heavy losses. Even some gods with weak divine power who only have small churches and do not have too many followers may have lost all their followers and are on the verge of extinction.
Therefore, this plague disaster is not only a disaster for the intelligent races of the Calondo continent, but also a disaster for the gods of the Calondo continent.
In such a critical situation, no matter how high the gods usually are, they have to keep their distance from the believers in order to maintain a sense of mystery, and now they should also find a way to save the world and save the believers. It should never be, and cannot be, sit idly by.
Li Qing even thought that in the current situation, all the gods should send incarnations to the main material realm and intervene directly.
However, in the previous conversation, Li Qing had not heard Angelina talk about any god intervening in the plague.
She only said that the gods did not know the source of the plague and could not solve the disaster.
Therefore, Li Qing was puzzled by the performance of the gods in this plague. He suggested to Angelina to communicate with Prometheus, the guardian god, and also took the opportunity to clarify this doubt.
Listening to Li Qing's suggestion, Angelina bit her lip, frowned, and muttered, "I can't communicate with His Highness Prometheus...... In fact, it is said that after the outbreak of the plague, the clergy of the gods of Calondo were cut off from the true gods of their respective faiths. There is no clergy who can communicate with the God they believe in......"
Li Qing was taken aback: "All the clergy have cut off contact with their gods?" None of the gods of Calendor answered the prayers of the faithful? β
He was really shocked.
For as far as he knew, the gods did not answer the prayers of the believers, either fell into a deep sleep or fell.
It is not uncommon for two gods to fall asleep or die unexpectedly. But this time the situation is different, this time it is the gods of the entire continent of Calondo, and all of them no longer answer the prayers of the believers!
"Could it be that the gods of the Kalundo continent, all the gods of all the god systems and races, have all fallen asleep or died?"
This sentence, in front of Angelina, a divine descendant, Li Qing could not say it directly.
He was just shocked and thought to himself, "Who can have such a big spend?" Who could have done such an earth-shattering thing? My Su Su does have this ability, but she is now a harmless little Lori who does not slaughter gods for many years...... Instead, she will be hunted down by her rival gods ......"
Just as Li Qing's heart was turning over and his thoughts were fluttering, he only heard Angelina say: "It can't be said that the gods don't respond to prayers at all. The clergy of the gods, after praying every day, can still obtain divine magic. However, when he asked the gods for advice with the gods, he did not get a response from the gods. Even the popes and saints of the various churches could not receive oracles...... That's why I said before that the gods of the Calondo continent don't know the source of the plague and can't solve it. β
Hearing her say this, Li Qing couldn't help but feel even more strange.
If the gods can still bestow divine magic, why don't they answer the questions of the believers? Why don't you send down an oracle to tell the believers what happened? Why don't you send an incarnation to the main material realm and personally intervene in the plague?
It is true that the strength of the incarnations of the gods is limited - no matter which plane, no matter how powerful the gods, the incarnations that can be sent to the main material realm can only reach the level of demigods. And the demigods, in fact, are not much stronger than the legendary powerhouses. It's just that he has some extraordinary abilities that legendary powerhouses don't have, and they belong to the gods alone.
Although the incarnation of the gods is not much stronger than the legendary powerhouses, the material that makes up the incarnation of the gods is the transcendent energy of divine power. And the divine power is precisely the nemesis of the living corpses infected by the plague.
A mere unpresided temple can purify living corpses with only the amount of divine power accumulated in the past. The incarnation of the gods is obviously easier to kill the living corpses.
The most important thing is that the incarnation of the gods in the form of pure energy will not be infected with the plague.
This is much better than the legendary powerhouse - you must know that this plague disaster is not immune to even the legendary powerhouse. Once infected with the plague, the legendary powerhouse will also turn into a living corpse.
And the incarnation of the gods obviously does not have this concern.
Since the gods can still bestow divine magic, it is clear that they have not fallen asleep or fallen. So why did they not intervene in the plague themselves? Why should we sit idly by and watch our followers die in droves of the plague every day?
The death of a believer is insignificant to the gods. A hundred, a thousand, maybe it's nothing. But believers die in the tens of thousands every day, and even the gods with great divine power cannot afford such heavy losses.
But what are they still not doing for anything?
Li Qing was puzzled by this.
However, now is not the time to solve the puzzle, and no matter how hard you rack your brains, it is impossible to draw any conclusions without sufficient information. Besides, Li Qing's primary purpose in coming to the Calondo Continent was to find the fruit of the Ancient Tree of Life. The secondary purpose is to fight monsters and level up and strengthen yourself.
The reason why he thought so much was just instinctively uneasy.
He was worried that the plague would affect the Ancient Tree of Life, so that he would not be able to obtain the fruit of the Ancient Tree of Life in good condition. He was also worried that some kind of unexpected event would happen beyond his control, leaving him and Chu Lingfeng in the midst of the plague.
"The continent of Calondo is by no means a place to stay for long. Although the living corpses everywhere are convenient for me to fight monsters and level up, they are also extremely dangerous. There are too many secrets of this plague, even the gods of Calondo are out of trouble, not to mention mortals like me and Chu Lingfeng? Since we don't know the cause of the plague outbreak, we can't figure out what happened to the gods...... Then I'd better hurry up and achieve the primary goal, find the fruit of the Ancient Tree of Life, and then hurry back to Earth and leave this land of right and wrong. β
Li Qing is not afraid of death.
It's just that he died, who will protect Susu?
Therefore, after realizing that this plague was shrouded in a thick fog, and even the gods had problems, Li Qing couldn't help but retreat in his heart.
While he was thinking, Angelina had already arrived at the bronze gate, slicing her index finger with her dagger, activating the divine bloodline, and squeezing out a drop of blood that shimmered with a faint golden glow.
She smeared the blood on the sign pattern in the center of the bronze gate, and when it was evenly applied, the bronze gate burst into a divine light and slowly opened with a low roar.
Opening the door, Angelina blushed and walked into the door with excitement on her face.
Seeing Angelina enter the secret room, Li Qing put away his thoughts and looked at her back with Chu Lingfeng expectantly, waiting to see the true face of the artifact.
Angelina's figure vanished behind the gate.
Only a minute later, she reappeared in the doorway, stepping out of the bronze gate.
As she walked out of the door, her delicate body trembled slightly, and her face was full of excitement as she held a round silver shield in both hands.
The silver round shield, which was only a foot in diameter and did not look special, and did not release a powerful aura, was one of the six major artifacts of the guardian god: the shield of divine blessing!.
