Chapter 1: The Prelude to a New Era
Compared to the Infinity Stones, the Infinity Gauntlet did not bring any beneficial changes to the New Dragon Realm, but it is undeniable that if it weren't for it, the difficulty of fusion would have been much higher.
But even so, when the integration is over, it will be more than a month after Zhou Xiaoning is out of customs.
At this time, Zhou Xiaoning's strength was unsurprisingly stable at the early stage of the ninth order, and it was not very far from the middle of the ninth order, and even Zhou Xiaoning only needed to consume the source power points and let the source disk push himself to reach it. But Zhou Xiaoning didn't do this, his strength improved too quickly, even with his profound background, it was inevitable that the foundation would be vain, and he needed to settle for a period of time and re-consolidate the foundation.
And in the past month or so, several major events have happened in the outside world.
First of all, the tripartite alliance of the Huaxia Alliance, the North American Alliance, and the European Union jointly formed the Earth Alliance to deal with the Chaos Heavenly Demon Crisis that the power came.
The North American Alliance doesn't need to be introduced, they have cooperated with the Thanos army before, and they know the roots, and their joining has brought a lot of advanced technology, but they were limited by resources before, and many technologies cannot work on a large scale, otherwise those alien creatures are not their opponents at all.
And this problem was solved after they joined the Earth Alliance, after all, Zhou Xiaoning didn't have much else, that is, there were many kinds of resources, after all, there were so many worlds as a source of supply, as long as it was not too special resources, otherwise there would be as many as there were.
However, Zhou Xiaoning's resources are not given in vain, and the North American Alliance must share a part of the technology to arm the Thunder Legion.
If the alliance between the Chinese Alliance and the North American Alliance is due to the friendship of fighting side by side, then the accession of the European Union is even the credit of Zhuge Liang, and I don't know how he moved Artoria to help him connect with Gaia and Alayya, and borrowed a group of heroic spirits from Valhalla to carry out an envoy exchange activity across time and space. For example, Artoria went to England, Joan of Arc went to France, and Nero went to Italy......
Not to mention the mood of the group of Europeans when they saw the heroes of their country's history who seemed to be carved out of a mold, anyway, in the end, Zhuge Liang fooled those base lords in Europe with his incorruptible tongue...... Well, no, it was moved by emotion, and it was reasonable to persuade them to join the Earth Alliance.
The inheritance in Europe is mainly based on the system of magicians, knights and priests.
In order to better win over the base lords of the European Union, Zhuge Liang consulted Lias with their consent and shared the paladin training method created by the light element incarnation with them.
With the comprehension of the law of light by the incarnation of the light element, the paladin training method he deduced is naturally not too bad, and after practicing in the World of Warcraft, this training method can completely cultivate a seventh-order paladin. Of course, to reach this level, in addition to talent and hard work, you need a little bit of opportunity.
It's just that the Two Realms City already has a mature army formation, and there is no need to spend a lot of resources to start from scratch and cultivate a team of paladins.
In contrast, the conditions of the European Union are unique, whether it is the knight receiving the baptism of the Holy Light, or the clergy undergoing institutional intensive training, a group of paladins can be created in a short period of time, and it is of high quality.
No one dares to say what the future holds, but at the moment, the Chaos Heavenly Demon is the common enemy of all human beings, and all ways to improve their own strength should be tried, instead of cherishing it and hiding it.
Zhou Xiaoning is the initiator of the alliance, and he has always done a good job at this point, but he has taken out all the things that are conducive to the improvement of the overall strength of the human race, although it is not provided for free, but it can definitely be regarded as a tearful sale.
Zhou Xiaoning took a good start, and the others also took out some dry goods to some extent, so that the development results of the bases that joined the Earth Alliance in the past month or so far exceeded the sum of the previous half a year.
Seeing that the bases of the Earth Alliance are developing so well, the base lords who were still waiting are also tempted to apply to join the alliance, I believe that it will not be long before all the bases on the earth will join the alliance, and mankind will usher in a new round of rapid development, but I don't know if I can
Before the arrival of the ten-year period, accumulate enough strength to fight the Chaos Heavenly Demons......
The second major event, thanks to the unremitting efforts of the Chinese coalition forces, most of the permanent advent points in Huaxia were closed, and a small part of them were decided to keep them for the time being after discussion by the Alliance Council due to special circumstances, and built a military base nearby to guard them closely.
However, there are no absolutes, and with the decrease of permanent advent points in the territory, the intensity of the remaining permanent advent points has increased significantly. At present, there is still a permanent advent point in the country that cannot be attacked for a long time, and even in order to suppress them, it has pinned down almost two-thirds of the masters of the alliance army.
You must know that at this stage, those who can be worthy of the word "master" must at least be a sixth-order or someone with the same combat power.
As the Confederates crusade against the Permanent Advent Point, more and more talent comes to the fore. Most of these talents will be cultivated from the Alliance, and it can be said that a considerable part of the spoils obtained by the Alliance Army are used on them. Although the investment is larger, the return is also very gratifying, and now there are one hundred and thirty people in the alliance army in the early sixth order, eighty-seven people in the middle of the sixth order, thirteen people in the late sixth order, three people at the peak of the sixth order, and even one person has reached the level of half a step and seventh order, and may break through at any time.
In addition, the Alliance Army has also expanded to 300,000 standing troops, all composed of five-star high-level troops, and 50,000 elite troops composed of six-star troops.
This force may be a little unsatisfactory in Zhou Xiaoning's opinion, but it also depends on who it is compared to, and it is naturally insufficient to deal with the Chaos Heavenly Demon, but looking at the present world, except for Zhou Xiaoning and his Two Realms City, there is really no second force that can block the front of the alliance army, even the North American Alliance and the European Union.
But even so, the main force of the alliance army was still pinned down by the two permanent advent points, which really made Zhou Xiaoning wonder what kind of permanent advent point it was, and it was so difficult to do.
Hearing Zhou Xiaoning's inquiry, Chen Gong temporarily suspended the report and answered for Zhou Xiaoning: "Back to the lord, you must be familiar with that permanent advent point, it is the Chiyou Blood Acupoint. ”
Although Zhuge Liang's appearance replaced the position of Chen Gong's "first strategist", as the first Three Kingdoms strategist to defect to Zhou Xiaoning, Zhou Xiaoning did not treat him badly, and the representative of the Two Realms City to the Alliance Council was still Chen Gong, and it did not change because the Huaxia Alliance was upgraded to the Earth Alliance. And Zhuge Liang is the Huaxia representative of the Alliance's Military Department, but due to the initial establishment of the Earth Alliance, the subordinate troops are temporarily only the Huaxia Alliance Army, and the current Military Department is basically Zhuge Liang's final say.
"Chiyou Blood Cave...... the one in "The Legend of Shu Mountain"?"
"The Legend of Shushan" is a relatively old movie after all, Zhou Xiaoning didn't even watch it before the catastrophe came, and it wasn't until later that in order to deal with those fantasy creatures, he made up for various anime, film and television, and other fantasy works. If it weren't for Zhou Xiaoning's great spirit, if everything he had seen or experienced could be re-searched and recalled, he might not really remember it.
"That's right, it's the Chiyou Blood Cave in "The Legend of Shu Mountain", and the Youquan Blood Demon has been integrated with it, if you want to close that permanent advent point, you must first get rid of the Youquan Blood Demon. But you also know that with Chiyou Blood Cave as the backing, the mana of the Youquan Blood Demon is endless, and he still has 10,000 Yuan Shen, and without letting him replenish the Yuan Shen, he must kill him 10,000 times in a row to truly destroy it. With the strength of the alliance masters, destroying a primordial god in two to three days is already the fastest speed. ”
Chen Gong's face was full of helpless expressions, and anyone who had such an unkillable opponent would be depressed. What's even worse is that the alliance army can't retreat yet, otherwise the Youquan Blood Demon will be born, and the entire Shu Land will be turned into a dead domain.
"Being able to be blocked by the Alliance Army means that the strength of the Youquan Blood Demon is only at the peak of the seventh order...... Okay, I see, I'll take care of him when I get a chance. ”
Zhou Xiaoning rubbed his chin, with his strength, killing the Youquan Blood Demon was almost like pinching an ant to death. It's just that you have to pinch the same ant 10,000 times repeatedly to really eliminate it, which is a bit disgusting, and it seems necessary to think of a way to come out once and for all.
"Anything else?"
"Yes, my lord."
Chen Gong owed a debt and continued: "Recently, the three major families of Zhao, Qian, and Sun all have a base to be promoted to the seventh star, and they all want to invite the lord to watch the ceremony. ”
"Oh, they're about to get enough of the source power points of the seven-star base so quickly, and it seems that when the alliance army conquers the permanent advent point, they don't have any less benefits."
Zhou Xiaoning raised his eyebrows, although he had stated long before the start of the conquest that all the spoils of the war would be used for the development of the alliance and the alliance army. However, there are policies and countermeasures, and playing politics is the strength of the three major families, and they can always find reasonable reasons to take the benefits into their arms.
In fact, not only the three major families, but also some other base lords did not do such a thing, but they thought that the remaining things were enough for the development of the alliance and the alliance army, so Zhou Xiaoning turned a blind eye and let them go, after all, they became stronger, and it could be regarded as enhancing the strength of the alliance in disguise, and they would not lose after all.
"Forget it, I won't go to the ceremony, when the time comes, you can ask them, and see if they want to join in the fun, just go in my name."
Zhou Xiaoning waved his hand, the practice of the three major families was to invite everyone to watch the ceremony, but in fact, they just wanted to show off and show off their strength. Zhou Xiaoning estimated that this base upgrade would probably deplete all their source power points and resource reserves, and they didn't have the ability to travel around the world and earn source power points and resources like Zhou Xiaoning.
Rather than wasting that time watching the three major families advocate themselves, Zhou Xiaoning would rather sit quietly and think about how the next cultivation should proceed.
"Yes, Wechen wrote it down."
Chen Gong was not surprised at all by Zhou Xiaoning's reply, in his opinion, the Two Realms City is the most powerful force in the current world, and most of the other forces rely on the power of the Two Realms City to have such a good situation today. To a certain extent, the Two Realms City is the leading big brother of those bases, and Zhou Xiaoning, as the lord of the Two Realms City, if he really went to participate in the base upgrade ceremony of the three major families, it would only lower his identity, and give people the illusion that the three major families could already be on an equal footing with Zhou Xiaoning.
Therefore, even if Zhou Xiaoning originally planned to go, Chen Gong would dissuade him. Like now, it is the best solution to let a few of the women participate on behalf of Zhou Xiaoning. The relationship between Zhou Xiaoning and the women is no secret, and having them participate on their behalf can be regarded as giving face to the three major families.
"And one last thing, on the second day of the Lord's retreat, a black stone tablet suddenly fell from the sky and landed in the very center of the square, with strange words engraved on it, but with all the means available to us in the Two Realms City, we could not decipher it. Weichen felt that something was wrong, and it was necessary to inform the lord. ”
"Oh, there's such a thing!"
The stone tablet in Chen Gong's mouth aroused Zhou Xiaoning's interest, you must know that the Two Realms City is shrouded by the spirit net, and any unknown object or attack close to the Two Realms City will be blocked by the spirit net, but according to Chen Gong, when the stone tablet landed, it did not cause a reaction from the spirit net, which is interesting.
"Let's go, take me to see it."
Zhou Xiaoning stood up, he was going to meet the mysterious stone tablet.
After staying in the underground secret room for a long time, Zhou Xiaoning also wanted to go out for a walk, so this time he did not teleport over directly, but walked over in person.
Along the way, all the residents of the Two Realms City who recognized Zhou Xiaoning bowed down and saluted him. Zhou Xiaoning did not set such etiquette, this was all the spontaneous behavior of those people, which shows that Zhou Xiaoning's prestige in the Two Realms City is not something anyone can shake.
More than half an hour later, Zhou Xiaoning finally came to the crossing square, and saw the stele at a glance, after all, the five-meter-high black stele is difficult to ignore.
"Hey, this kind of writing is ......"
The entire body of the monument is made of obsidian, and apart from being strong, it has no other characteristics, so it is not worth making a fuss about. But the inscription on the stele made Zhou Xiaoning's eyes widen, if he didn't see it, it was definitely the universal script circulated by the civilization of the previous era, and there was this kind of text in the ancestral dragon inheritance.
Zhou Xiaoning compared the words on the stele with the corresponding information in the ancestral dragon inheritance one by one, and quickly translated the content.
