Chapter 232: Luke's Homecoming and God's Communion
Taking advantage of the time when the young man went out to buy something, Luke released a few crows to be vigilant, sank his mind into the spiritual world, and found a few friends who were closely connected with him with the power of faith and the connection of the thread of fate of the "Wanhua Mirror".
He checked the current situation of Maria, Carl Sr., Ashley and the others, and found that their surroundings were as calm as ever, and there was no large-scale upheaval caused by the Abyss Invasion.
Luke speculated in his mind that perhaps Grazt's plot was being planned and had not yet been implemented, and perhaps he should go to the Siani Tavern to see what the so-called recruitment plan was.
As he was thinking, there was a knock on the door, and the voice of the young man just now came from outside the house: "Sir, I have bought the [Fluent Language] scroll you need." ”
"Come in." Luke said casually.
The door was unlocked, and the young man pushed it open and placed the three scrolls he was holding on the table.
"It can be used when it is torn apart, and it has a shelf life of ten years, and it can be used after the expiration date, but there is no guarantee of effect."
Does this thing have an expiration date?
Luke was about to complain, but after thinking about it, it was reasonable to say that there was a shelf life when it involved in the decay of the carrier and the flow of energy.
He took the scroll with his telekinesis and stuffed it directly into the mirror world.
As for the dimensional space storage ability, the young man should have seen a lot, and he didn't show any surprises.
While he was still around, Luke continued to inquire about the situation in the city, "Can you tell me about the Siani Tavern?" Before I arrived, I had heard that this was the largest tavern in all of Zerata. ”
"I'm happy to serve you, sir." The young man sorted out his thoughts and introduced: "The Siani Tavern is certainly not the largest tavern in terms of area alone, but it is indeed the most well-known tavern and the most customers here. I heard that its owner is an alien demigod, and many powerful adventurers also frequent it, and many people who need to hire people go there to post quests. Over time, even if the lord has any recruitment needs, he will go there and announce it. ”
It seems that the Bird's Head Demon really didn't cheat him, and for the newcomers who have just arrived in the abyss, the Siani Tavern is indeed a good place to stay.
After confirming that the original world is still safe for the time being, Luke decides to go to the tavern to see what the so-called invasion progress is.
He stood up and said to the young man, "How to get to the Siani Tavern, show me the way, I'll take a look." ”
The young man looked embarrassed: "The road of Zelata is difficult to describe, it is too obscure and complicated, and I have lived here for a long time to understand the location of the different areas. If you want to go, I can show you the way. ”
Tut-tut, it is worthy of being a big hotel operating across the world, and the service is in place.
Luke nodded, and threw another magic crystal over: "It's a tip, let's go!" ”
Locking the door, the young man took Luke out, and after bypassing a dozen crooked alleys and turning four or five hidden roads that didn't look like intersections, he came to a thorough avenue. The sign of "Siani Tavern" hangs in the entrance to one of the building's entrances.
The young man pointed to the side, then handed Luke a black iron block token, "That's Siani, you can go there on your own, there are no special rules inside, just like a normal tavern." When you want to go back to the hotel, crush the token and I'll get a message and I'll pick you up right away. ”
Luke nodded, slipped the token into the mirror world, and walked straight over.
Pushing open the heavy wooden doors, you are greeted by a warm smell and malted bouquet aroma, the dim and soft lighting in the tavern emits a faint candlelight, and the cozy heat of the huge fireplace attracts people to sit around the tables and chairs.
As far as the eye can see, the tavern is full of all kinds of strange guests, judging from their appearance, there are humans, halflings, and some black-skinned elves, which are the drow of the abyss. Of course, the largest number of high-level demons were all kinds, and Luke even saw a six-armed snake demon with her six long swords on the wine table, holding a wine glass and drinking heartily.
Luke, in human form, enters the tavern without attracting the attention of the guests. He walked over to the bar, ordered a casual drink, and found a table in the corner, where he listened to the conversation while sipping.
The 46th layer of the abyss is one of the earliest known abyssal levels, and it is also a very ancient layer of worlds, unlike other worlds newly incorporated by the abyss, it is full of opportunities and novelties, except for the bragging of some hunting teams when they repair after hunting wild demons, most of the "people" are still discussing the big event of invading the "Holy Light World".
As for whether the invasion is justified or not.
It's all running abyss, where are there any players in the orderly and good camp.
As long as Grazt gives enough, not to mention the Holy Light World, even their native world can be the leading party.
Luke had just taken a sip of beer when his ears moved and he heard someone discussing not far away.
"Boss, are we really going to sign up for the Glazt Pioneer Regiment?" A boar warrior asked the leader on the other side.
His leader was dressed in a black robe, with only his pale chin and palms exposed.
"Nonsense, a whole new world, how many treasures are waiting for us in it, you don't want to go?"
Although the Boar Man warriors seem to be savage and brainless, they actually have a lot of ideas in their heads, after all, the real stupid people have long been the fittest in the harsh environment of the abyss.
"However, there are countless demon leaders and armies under Grazt, and it is very suspicious to recruit outsiders instead of recruiting outsiders instead of subordinates under Grazt, such a lucrative event as invading a new world."
A half-dragon man at the table next to them leaned back and interjected, "Hey, you haven't been in Zerata for long. Gasas, the son of Grazt and the commander of his demon legion, said when recruiting men that the god of light in that world was very restrained against demons, and even if he was wounded and weakened, he also arranged an enchantment outside the world, and even legendary demons could not pass through it. ”
"What about the lord?" The boar man asked.
"Your Excellency? If the Lord had to take action in everything, then what good was his demon legion? ”
"You're right." The boar man nodded in agreement, "If I become a demon lord, I will also rest in the territory and wait for my men to go first." ”
The black-robed man opposite him let out a sneer: "You are still a lord, you can advance to the model even if the boar god blesses you." ”
The boar man blushed and muttered something like a late bloomer, and he could succeed if he ate more and slept more.
Luke sat in the tavern for hours, snooping out the invasion of the "Holy Light World", which was his original world.
You can sign up at the tavern bar, and the recruitment criteria require a minimum of the Brave rank, but you don't need any proof, as long as you think you're up to the mark.
The only thing to restrict, don't be demonic.
Recruitment will continue until a week later, when Grazt will announce the next steps of the plan.
Luke also went to register his name, and the waiter at the bar took out a pen and paper and asked, "Name, race, rank." ”
Luke casually made up: "Oscar, human, heroic rank." ”
Hearing the "Hero Rank", the waiter raised his head in surprise, glanced at him, and threw him a token from the bar, which was similar to the one given to him by the young man just now, but it was silver-white, and it looked more delicate.
"After about a week, the token will be shattered, follow the light spot inside, and gather at the designated place."
Luke took the token, ordered a beer, and sat for another half an hour, realizing that he didn't get any more useful information, so he crushed the iron plate and waited for the young man to take him back to the hotel.
——
Half a month ago.
The original world, heaven.
The infinite light fills the world, making everything holy and immaculate, but in the eyes of those who are sharp enough, the weakness and faintness of this holy light can be faintly felt.
There is no doubt that the two angels, Michael and Lucifer, are perceptive enough.
The two men got together again, and Michael said worriedly, "It seems that the old man is about to lose his hand." ”
Lucifer had just returned from hell and was still in awe of God, reluctantly justifying, "We should believe in Him." ”
Michael was also apparently a rebel and did not have much respect for his God's father.
"Come on, omniscient and omnipotent is just talking, it's good that there was no foreign enemy before, he can barely support the shell of omniscience and omnipotence, and now the consumption of divine power is getting bigger and bigger, I think it won't be long before we have to find our own way out again."
The two were chatting when a loud voice came.
"Michael, bring the Morning Star to see me."
Angel of the Morning Star, Lucifer's name, whispered, "Sooner or later, I will be killed by you." ”
The two exchanged glances, flapped their wings, and flew towards the divine seat above the sky with trepidation.
At this time, God was a kind and tired old man, and he glanced at the king of angels under him, and the rebellious angel, and said softly: "You also feel that although there is still a lot of power left in the faith, the burden on me is too great for the omniscient and all-powerful person at present, and it is difficult for me to hold on any longer. But if I choose to give up and fall from the One God Person, I will not be able to resist the invasion of the chaotic world. ”
Lucifer scolded in his heart: "It's not that you were too fierce when you were young, and you killed all the gods in this world who could breathe, otherwise you wouldn't even have a helper now." ”
But of course he didn't say it.
Michael tried to comfort him, but God raised his hand and stopped him, saying, "It's not that things are without room for salvage." ”
Michael was shocked, worthy of an old man, he could think of a way to turn the tables in this desperate situation. He looked up at God in surprise.
"That's right, some time ago, a wandering god from another world named Xuan Kong came to the edge of the boundary membrane, and I communicated with him for a while. He expressed sympathy for the current situation in our world, but said that he could not act at will and produce 'cause and effect', so he only told me the story of one of the supreme gods in their world. ”
"The Supreme God?" Lucifer praised in time.
"Yes, even though there are countless gods in that extremely high world, there is still an all-knowing and all-powerful supreme god there, and this is really an unimagined path. At the beginning, I thought that only by destroying all other gods and incorporating all the beliefs of the whole world could I reach the realm of omniscience and omnipotence, but my vision was too narrow. ”
"Dad, don't sell it, just say it." Michael urged.
God smiled slightly and revealed the mystery: "'The unity of heaven and man', Xuan Kong explained to me the supreme realm of 'the unity of heaven and man' - 'Hedao'. ”
"Heaven and man are one? Isn't that the cultivation method of those shamans in the mortal world? ”
God nodded: "It's somewhat similar to that one, but it's completely different." In his world, there is a kind of god called 'immortal', who does not need the power of faith, but only through the 'unity of heaven and man', he can experience the world consciousness and the rules of the world, so as to be promoted. ”
"Strange gods." Lucifer said with a frown.
It was hard for him to imagine what it would be like to be a god who didn't rely on faith.
Michael didn't care about the exotic gods, but hurriedly asked, "How can you achieve the 'unity of heaven and man' and then reach the realm of 'unity of the way'?" What do we need to do for you? ”
God called them both to arrange for this.
"Before 'Merging', I will dissipate all my divine power."
Seeing that Michael was anxious to stop it, he waved his hand again, "Listen to me." ”
"I will use the dissipated divine power to crumple the entire heaven into a seal, with the rest of the angels assisting in it, this seal can last for at least a year, and it is impossible for any demon from another world to break through this seal."
"But if you don't do anything, you can at least last another four or five years." Michael still couldn't help but chime in.
"What about four or five years from now? The whole world will fall into the invasion of another world, even me. ”
God continued his arrangement: "Among the angels, I will leave only the two of you, but your body will also remain in heaven, and only the consciousness will go to earth with part of its energy. I remember that you have skins to use in the human world, and your task is to find me in the mortal world and protect me. ”
"After the divine power in my body is gone, I will become a mortal, fall into the human world, start from old age, become middle-aged, youthful, young, until I become a baby, and then become one with heaven and earth, and then I can complete the 'Harmony Path'. This is the conclusion I came to after combining the legend of the supreme god Jun Hong, and using 'omniscient and omnipotent' to communicate heaven and earth. ”
He finally sighed: "The 'omniscient and omnipotent' achieved by Hedao does not have the burden of divine power, and does not need to consume a lot of divine power to maintain, but the consciousness of the individual will will also merge with the will of the world, and most of the self-will is washed away, leaving only the instinct to maintain the operation of the world order." ”
Both angels were shocked at the same time.
"So, aren't you the equivalent of."
"Dead?" God asked with a smile.
Michael and Lucifer nodded.
"This is my world," God said, "if I don't protect it, who else can?" ”
"And it's not like you're going to lose yourself completely, I'll take care of you boys when the time comes. Well, I've decided, no need to persuade anymore. ”
"Get ready."
Kong Xuan here has no other meaning, it is purely an oriental character, and it just so happens that my pen name also has a peacock, so I chose him. In addition, this is just a mess in God's mouth, and there will be no flood world in this book's plan, it's too mismatched, and it's too high, and the protagonist can't grasp it.
