Chapter 285: Crown and Apotheosis and Main Plot
[A large chapter of nearly 8,000 words, this chapter can be said to be the main plot of this book in the future, I hope everyone reads it carefully]
"Take the World...... The two terms of "Apotheosis ......" were heard in Mu Tian's ears, which made Mu Tian couldn't help but gasp, this crowned necromancer Sandru really looked up to himself, he was only a level 30 player at this time, and as a crowned player, he actually began to discuss the matter of seizing the world with himself.
It's just that such words are in Mu Tian's ears, and it also makes Mu Tian feel at a loss, to be honest, Mu Tian doesn't even know how to deify now.
Apotheosis is thunderous throughout the Shenmu Continent, and it is the highest achievement of every player, and almost every player knows the word Apotheosis. But if you really ask these players how they should be deified, these players will be dumb in an instant, they can't say why they have a reason at all, and the same is true for Mu Tian.
The method of deification has been very tacitly protected on the Shenmu Continent, at least in all the public information that Mu Tian can currently access, there is no way to find any method of deification. Mu Tian can only know from the mouth of the ancient queen that the secret of apotheosis is the biggest secret in this world, and ordinary players don't even have the qualifications to know this secret, but if players can be promoted to the crown, then they can naturally know the method of apotheosis.
In other words, if you don't achieve the crown, then you can't know the method of deification at all. And there is no doubt that Sandru, as the crowned necromancer, must know the mystery of apotheosis.
"Lord Sandru......" As soon as Mu Tian spoke, he saw Sandru waving his hand, and said lightly, "I know what you want to say, you don't have to ask more, I will tell everything I can tell!" ”
So, Mu Tian put on a posture of listening to his ears.
"I do know the specific method of apotheosis, but the apotheosis method of each crown player is different, or to be precise, the apotheosis task of each crown player is different!" Sandru said, "After you achieve the crown, then the Shenmu Continent will automatically grant you a unique apotheosis task, you only need to complete the apotheosis task, then you will definitely be able to deify into a god." ”
"And the apotheosis quest is the biggest secret of every crown player, and it is also a task that every crown player will never reveal a single thing, even if it is his own children. Because once the quest is revealed, it will be known to your opponent, then your opponent only needs one or two small actions to completely cut off the possibility of you completing the apotheosis mission. So I'm here to remind you first, if Mu Tian achieves the crown in the future, you must not tell anyone about your apotheosis mission, not even the ancient queen, otherwise you will definitely regret it! Sandru said, and Mu Tian nodded cautiously.
"Of course, this task is very difficult, so difficult that a crown powerhouse like me has hesitated for 5,000 years, and he has never been able to complete his apotheosis task!" Sandru continued. "Why would I wait 5,000 years? It's not that 5,000 years is not enough time for me to complete the mission, but almost all of us players are waiting for a time, a time that only comes once in 1,000 years! ”
"There is only a time in 1000 years!" Mu Tian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then immediately reacted and said, "Are you talking about the major event of the change of dynasty in the Shenmu Continent?" ”
"Yes, that's how long I've been waiting, and that's the time for every Twilight Crown left on this land!" Necromancer Sandru said in a deep voice, "There is a sentence you must have heard, that is, the general trend of the world, seven, seven, four, nine!" ”
“…… I have only heard about the general trend of the world, and if you join for a long time, you will divide it, and if you divide it for a long time, you will be together......" Mu Tian muttered in his heart, but he still said respectfully, "Listen to the younger generation." ”
"For the Shenmu Continent, the most important task is the main plot, because the main plot task is related to the rise and fall of the entire continent, the alternation of forces, and the rise and fall of the dynasty. This main plot is the Shenmu Event, and each chapter of the Shenmu Incident represents a dynasty, the general trend of the world, 49 of the 7749, which means that each chapter has a main plot of 7749 pages, and once the main plot of 7749 pages is over...... Do you know what that means? Sandru asked, looking into Mu Tian's eyes.
"This means that the plot of Chapter 8 begins, and a new generation of dynasties is about to be born!" Mu Tian said with a solemn expression, when the system prompted Qingluan's birth mission before, Mu Tian had already heard such a prompt. But at that time, Mu Tian didn't know much about the meaning contained in this, and now he suddenly realized it when he heard Sandru say this.
It turns out that with the completion of the plot of Qingluan's birth, then all the main plots of the Seventh Empire of Shenmu will officially come to an end, and the entire Seventh Empire of Shenmu will begin to collapse, and the next thing that is about to start is the strife between the heroes, the heroes and heroes, and it is even possible to fight the Eighth Empire era for hundreds of years.
It's just that Mu Tian doesn't know, what does this Eighth Empire have to do with him, to be honest, Mu Tian doesn't have much ambition, and he doesn't want to be the emperor of the Shenmu Continent, his biggest dream is to deify, enter the Shenmu Pure Land, and see what that world is like. And if you can't deify, then you can also become a crown player, which means that you can be immortal and immortal!
All the players on the Shenmu Continent know that the crown player is immortal! This is the fundamental reason why crown players attract every Shenmu player to continue to struggle.
"Everyone thinks that the crown player is immortal, don't you think so?" Sandru suddenly stared at Mu Tian, who couldn't help but feel creepy, but still nodded and admitted.
"But they're all very wrong, crown players aren't immortal, they have their own lifespan, guess what? How long do crown players live? Sandru asked.
"How do I know ......" Mu Tian muttered in his heart, but it was impossible for Sandru to ask himself such an unanswerable question for no reason, this answer must be hidden somewhere obvious, could it be ......
"Is it 8,000?" Mu Tian asked tentatively.
"You're really smart, you've already guessed what this time means, but you've ignored a common sense, that is, the first crown player was not born in the first year of the Shenmu calendar, as early as nearly 10,000 years ago, when human beings got the love of the gods of Shenmu and descended on the Shenmu Continent to fight to the death with endless poisonous beasts and gods and demons, the first crown player was born. So this time is 10,000 years, and the lifespan of the crown player is 10,000 years."
"And now...... "Sandru's tone changed suddenly, "10,000 years is almost up, and the life span of the first generation of crown players is coming to an end, what kind of crazy thing do you think he will do in the face of such a dying crown player?" ”
"The first generation of champion players is dying!" This news shocked Mu Tian again, and Mu Tian naturally had his own answer to Sandru's question: "He wants to live, he wants to complete the apotheosis mission, this should be the only way for the first generation of crown players to continue to live!" ”
"That's right, this is the only way for them to live, and the key to completing the mission of apotheosis lies in the change of dynasty once in 1,000 years. Only when the dynasty is changed, the only conditions and opportunities to complete the apotheosis task will appear, and only by seizing this fleeting opportunity can the crown player be able to deify. And if we can't seize this opportunity, we will have to wait another 5,000 years, as I am now! ”
Speaking of this, Sandru sighed and said, "I'm a loser, I've missed three times, I've wasted 5,000 years, and now it's my fourth chance, I don't want to miss this opportunity, and then like those first-generation champions who are about to go crazy, I will gamble on this last chance." So I'm going to work with you, I believe in your potential, and I believe that the two of us can work together happily and achieve our goals. ”
"I still don't understand, what does it have to do with me if you want to complete the apotheosis mission, why do I have to cooperate with you?" Mu Tian asked boldly.
"Good question, then let me ask you, do you want to be the crown player?" Sandru asked.
"Yes!" Mu Tian nodded vigorously, there is nothing to hide, this is every player's dream.
"That's right, the secrets of the Apotheosis mission may not be known to ordinary players, but how to become a crown player, you already know in your heart, I don't need to say more!" Sandru's words made Mu Tian nod, indeed, compared to the mysterious apotheosis mission, how to become a crown player, Mu Tian is indeed very clear.
There are three steps that you must complete to become a champion player.
The first is the nomination for the crown, which must be given by His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire himself, which is a step that must be experienced, and only after being nominated by the Emperor of the Empire can the player be eligible to compete for the title.
In the second step, His Majesty the Emperor's nominations are not arbitrary, with a maximum of seven players for each class and a maximum of 35 nominations for five classes. These nominated players need to kill or defeat all the nominees of their own professional players, and make them voluntarily sacrifice the system fruits in their bodies or forcibly seize the system fruits in their bodies, and only after collecting the system fruits of all the nominee players of the class can they enter the third step.
As for those losers, if they die, they will naturally die, and if they don't die, they will lose the fruit of the system and become an ordinary person, and in the end, no matter how magnificent they are in life, they can only die like a poor bedbug in the end.
The last step, and the one that scared and left all players out of their control, was the one that scared and left them out of their control. In the first two steps, players believe that they can win with their own strength and means, but this last step is not something they can decide, and the decision is transferred to all human beings. The god of the Divine Tree will open a round of voting, and all human beings, including players and ordinary humans, have one vote, and in the end, only when this player obtains more than 60% of the votes can he finally become the crown player of any of the players, sitting on the high crown, for countless descendants to admire.
These are the three steps to becoming a crown player that Mu Tian knows. It's just that Mu Tian doesn't know what this has to do with cooperation with Sandru.
"The first step to becoming a champion player is to get a nomination from the Emperor, and any dynasty only has one nomination every 100 years from the first day it is founded. The tenth nomination for the title of the Seventh Empire of Shenmu has been used up ten years ago, and the Seventh Empire of Shenmu will collapse in a hundred years at the earliest, they have absolutely no chance of the next nomination, and the right to nominate the title next time is in the hands of the future Eighth Empire of Shenmu! Only His Majesty the Emperor of the Eighth Empire of Shenmu in the future, that is, the Taizu who founded the Eighth Empire of Shenmu, has the right to nominate the crown player for the next round! Sandru said.
"Taizu of the Eighth Empire...... Mu Tian's breathing was a little thicker, he had already vaguely guessed what Sandru wanted to say later, and Sandru continued.
"Who will be able to create the future of the Eighth Empire of Shenmu, no one knows. However, based on the experience of the previous six dynasties, all the founders of the next empire became players between pages 48 and 49 of the main story. This means that all players who have experienced the plot on page 48 will not be able to become the next founder of the empire, and the real founder of the empire will be involved in the plot on page 49 this time, that is, the plot of Qingluan's birth! ”
"This page 49 plot is the end of the previous dynasty, but also the dawn of the next dynasty, all players will pay attention to this event of the birth of Qingluan, and the next founder of the empire will definitely emerge in this event...... Although he may not win this event, he will definitely appear in this event. ”
"You want me to find the Eighth Empire Taizu in this event, and then hug his thighs and become his help and helper. The Eighth Empire's first nomination right after the creation of the empire will definitely be given to his close comrades-in-arms who help him, and will not give any other players a chance, so this event is also the beginning of everyone preparing to stand in line, only if you stand on the right team and follow the right leader, it is possible to become the champion player. Mu Tian said in a deep voice.
As for the other players who have failed to stand in line...... In terms of lifespan, the players of the Shenmu Continent are the same as the humans on the earth, except for a very few long-lived generations, they generally only have a lifespan of less than 100 years. If this nomination fails, the next nomination will be 100 years away, and they will be dead to a pile of bones by then.
Therefore, each player has only one chance, once he stands on the wrong team and follows the wrong leader, then the future of this life is all over.
"Do I still need to recognize who is the future Eighth Reich Taizu in this event? It's too hard for me, I haven't learned Zhou Yi, and I can't tell fortunes! Mu Tian said with some distress, and Sandru's expression darkened.
"You idiot, why did you choose to take sides? Why do you think that other people are the Taizu of the Eighth Reich, why don't you look at yourself? Sandru's voice fell, and the map in front of him, which was so vividly made that it was almost exactly like the real world, collapsed in an instant, and all turned into fine sand.
"Me?"
"Eighth Imperial Taizu?"
"The Eighth Reich that created the future?"
Sandru's words exploded in Mu Tian's ears like thunder, and at the same time opened a door in Mu Tian's heart that had never been opened. For a long time, although Mu Tian was competitive in this Shenmu Continent, the driving force that pushed him forward was not a grand goal, to be precise, it was just the instinct of a player.
When players enter a game, except for a few players, I am afraid that no one will set the goal of being the first in the whole server, or even the first in the whole game, they are fighting in the game, completing every task as well as possible, more just out of the instinct of a player, they have never thought about what they want to be the first in the whole server.
Mu Tian's original mentality was the same, everything he was doing so far was almost the player's instinct, and he never thought that he wanted to be His Majesty the Emperor of the Shenmu Empire. It wasn't until Sandru talked to him that the door opened.
"Yes, Lao Tzu is a RMB player, Lao Tzu is a local tyrant, Lao Tzu has money, why can't Lao Tzu be the first in the whole server?" Mu Tian muttered.
————————————————————
Mu Tian didn't know how to get back home, he still had Sandru's words echoing in his mind, a sprout called ambition was gradually lit up in his heart, standing on the highest point of power in the whole world, what a tempting goal, Mu Tian wanted to step on this goal.
Of course, Sandru talked a lot to Mu Tian next.
He told Mu Tian that if he became the Taizu of the Eighth Empire, then the Taizu would not need to go through any nomination trilogy, and he would be able to ascend to the crown directly. After all, sitting on that high imperial throne, such an existence is not a crown, and who can ascend to the crown?
In fact, for the Taizu of an empire, the deification task that they really need to work hard for, and the founder of any generation of empires has a great advantage in completing the deification task, and other crown players have suffered for tens of thousands of years and cannot complete the apotheosis task, but for the Taizu of a generation of empires, the success rate is as high as more than 70%.
From the First Empire of Shenmu to the current Seventh Empire of Shenmu, there have been five Taizu who have successfully deified and entered the supreme Shenmu Pure Land, this ratio makes all crown players envious, but it is a pity that there is only one Taizu position in 1000 years, and at the same time, it can only be given to those players who have not yet ascended to the crown, and the rest of the crown players can only watch this benefit.
In addition, Sandru also told Mu Tian two new terms, called "Twilight Crown" and "Play Seed".
The so-called Twilight Crown is those crown players who have lived for more than 1,000 years, failed to complete the apotheosis mission in the first dynasty change, and finally had to hide in the sun, such as the crown player like the necromancer Sandru. Because these crown players can only appear after the sun goes down, they are called Twilight crowns.
And the "play seed" is the major forces, or the players cultivated by the Twilight crown, these players are all players who can be called geniuses, they themselves are full of all kinds of shining points, and what is even more terrifying is that there are all kinds of strong support from the major forces and crown players behind them, and their starting point in the struggle for the throne itself is much higher than that of ordinary players, and the purpose of these players being cultivated is to compete for the position of the supreme and silent founding ancestor in the future.
Of course, there is only one success in the "playseeds" at most, then the fate of the remaining playseeds is quite tragic, unless they can turn to the future Taizu as soon as possible, otherwise the only way waiting for them is death.
Finally, and the most critical point, that is, why Sandru wants to help Mu Tian and why he wants to cooperate with Mu Tian.
The reason has actually been said before, that is, Sandru hopes that Mutian can become his own play. According to Sandru, it is a mutually beneficial, harmoniously developed relationship.
Sandru said vaguely that if he can support Mu Tian to become the future founding emperor, then Mu Tian must give him a benefit, and this benefit can greatly increase Sandru's chance of completing the apotheosis task, the probability is only 70% lower than the founding emperor himself, and there is a 50% chance, which is an irresistible temptation for all crown players.
This is also the reason why those big forces and crown players are vying to support the game to ascend to the throne of God, as long as the players they support succeed in reaching the top, the apotheosis is no longer an ethereal legend, but a half-to-half chance...... That's already an extremely high odds.
Sandru himself admitted that in the first three changes of dynasty, he supported three players, but in the end they all failed, none of those three players ascended to the throne, so Sandru still stood still in the past thousands of years, and this time, Sandru chose Mu Tian, he felt that Mu Tian could become the founder of the Eighth Empire...... Although Sandru himself thinks this is a bit nonsense.
At the same time, Sandru also admitted to Mu Tian that as a twilight crown, he still has a great disadvantage compared to the players who have ascended to the crown in the last 1000 years, that is, after the creation of the Seventh Empire.
Twilight's crown makes them never allowed to shoot at any non-crown player, nor is it allowed to appear in any special maps and dungeons, and it is even strictly forbidden to directly give some substantial help to other players, such as Sandru directly giving Mu Tian some level 100 summoned beasts to ensure that Mu Tian is invincible in the early stage, which is forbidden by the rules of the world.
And the normal crown players, that is, the crown players who have completed the apotheosis task for the first time, they do not have such huge restrictions, they can not only give other players any help they are willing to, but also can directly shoot and directly assassinate those opponents who pose a threat, this is the most terrible thing about normal crown players, crown players are killers, how can ordinary players be able to stop them.
At most, Twilight's crown is able to use his veteran experience to help the players he supports in strategy and planning, help train the individual strength of these players, and finally protect them in the dark...... These Twilight Crowns are not allowed to be used against non-crowned players, but if the Crowns want to play assassinations or the like, it's time for the Twilight Crowns to be monetized.
As a crown player who has lived for thousands of years, they still have great confidence in dealing with these ordinary crown players who are less than a thousand years old.
However, even fools can see how far apart the Twilight crown can be from the help that the normal crown can give, and all players who are interested in competing for this supremacy must be willing to choose the normal crown as their supporter. Therefore, for Twilight Crown, it is not advisable to directly find mature plays, and their preferred approach is to find some people who are still extremely talented in infancy, and then start to train these players from an early age, exercise their combat skills, and finally when they become players and have their own system fruits, they will choose one of the players with the best overall performance as a playseed to cultivate for themselves.
In this way, these toys have a very high loyalty to the Twilight crown, and will be grateful for the kindness of these twilight crowns, which is also a weak manifestation of the Twilight crown, after all, excellent toys are really an extremely scarce resource, and they have long been targeted by various normal crowns, and these twilight crowns can't rob those normal crown players who can give more help.
Sandru was tragic, he originally cultivated hundreds of playseeds, but when these playseeds went to obtain the system fruit, the best one only got the purple system fruit...... There was no Taizu with a purple player board in history, so Sandru had to abandon these carefully cultivated players and instead look for a wild one.
That's why Sandru went to great lengths to create a copy of Sandru the Necromancer, and why it was also a requirement that there must be one copy of each class. The purpose is to be able to select a summoning player who satisfies him, and then fully support him to reach the peak of the Shenmu Continent.
The reason why the first target of Sandru's copy was placed in Pingyang City, because Sandru has been living in seclusion in Pingyang City for the past 1,000 years, and because Pingyang City has always been weak, this Sandru didn't have much expectations for Pingyang. But Sandru never expected that he would directly meet the two perverts of Mu Tian and the Ancient Queen, and these two were still the players who were favored by Ivan, the only god of summoning in the legend.
This gave Sandru great confidence, so Sandru appeared directly in the dungeon, and at the same time expressed his willingness to accept Mu Tian as a disciple, but unfortunately Mu Tian refused.
Sandru himself was a little hesitant, after all, this Mu Tian was a super-limit realm emperor, and it was a question of whether he had enough resources to upgrade to level 50, so after Mu Tian refused, Sandru decided to give up Mu Tian and immediately look for other goals. But Sandru never expected that the copy of "The Birth of Qingluan" would be unfolded at such a rapid speed, so that he didn't even have the opportunity to find more ways to play.
What Sandru didn't expect was that Mu Tian, who had already given up by himself, actually became the first person to complete the first stage of the copy of "The Birth of Qingluan" this time, at this time, Sandru realized that he greatly underestimated Mu Tian's potential, and Mu Tian also had a Xuantian Sword Sect like the Ancient Queen as a helper, if he invested in Mu Tian, it would be the best choice now.
So, Sandru found Mu Tian for the second time, and this time he no longer played tricks with Mu Tian, and directly put everything in front of Mu Tian, and at the same time patted his chest and assured Mu Tian that he would definitely help Mu Tian with all his might, and at the same time prevent everything in secret, and dare to do it to Mu Tian.
According to Sandru, this time because there is a batch of Twilight crowns that are about to reach the end of their lives, so this time the batch of Twilight crowns has begun to lay out early, and in order to survive, they will definitely do everything they can to help their own play to win. If Mu Tian doesn't want to be a stepping stone under his feet, he will definitely not be able to survive without the secret light of a twilight crown, and even his life will be in great danger.
At the same time, Sandru also told Mu Tian that he does not have only one crown supporter, and the benefits that Mu Tian gets after his success can actually be distributed to three crown players, so Mu Tian can also recruit two crown players in the future, and even normal crown players with great help are not necessarily.
Anyway, in a word, as long as Mu Tian is willing to sign a contract with him Sandru, he Sandru will treat Mu Tian as his own son from now on.
And in the end, Mu Tian and Sandru have an additional Shenmu contract in their hands at the same time, according to the provisions of this Shenmu contract, before Mu Tian does not clearly give up his hope of becoming Taizu, Sandru must do his best to help Mu Tian, and he can only help Mu Tian One player, and he can never help the second player.
As for Mu Tian, after successfully ascending the throne, he must hand over a piece of Shenmu Purple Qi to Sandru as Sandru's reward, if anyone on both sides has this contract, then he will never be able to go further in strength, Mu Tian will never be able to become a crown player, and Sandru will never be able to deify.
It's a contract that neither party can renege.
