Chapter 89: Preparations for the Ceremony (4k5)
"Let's go, come on! I'm sure you can, Old Zhou, I'm going to the astral plane. Now that the goddess of the night is asleep, the kingdom of the god of knowledge and wisdom has been shattered, and the Lord of the Storm is hiding in his kingdom and is unwilling to come outβnow only steam and the true creator are left to hold on. β
Although these two gods are not the only ones on the earth now, most of the other gods are not in very good condition.
Now, while the goddess of the night is asleep, and there is no way to mobilize her power through subjective consciousness to let her kingdom block the cracks in the astral barrier, there are also the gods of steam and machines, the lord of storms, the true creator, and the goddess of the earth to block the barrier before it breaks.
Although for some unknown reason, the Lord of the Storm, after successfully shattering the kingdom of the god of knowledge and wisdom, instead hid in his kingdom as if he had shut himself off.
Although he still dutifully blocked the damage to the astral barrier, the effect was somewhat ineffective. In this regard, the high-dimensional overlooking person couldn't help laughing.
Of the remaining three, Mother Earth is now actually the vest of the outer god "Fallen Mother Goddess", and the "God of Steam and Machines" is the weakest of the five gods nowβweaker than the Lord of the Stormβand there is only so much that his kingdom can protect.
However, after the "Eternal Sun" was herded by the true Creator, the "God of Steam and Machines" has increased his strength slightly because of the number of anchors there are much more than before.
And the Fallen Mother Goddess, who wears the vest of the "Mother Earth Goddess", maintains the range of the Kingdom of God that can be maintained with the strength of the Mother Earth Goddess, controls Lilith's Kingdom of God, and blocks the gaps in the astral barrier.
Unlike the high-dimensional Lookdown who is planning to become a pillar, the Fallen Mother Goddess, who has basically wiped out the believers of the Mother Tree of Desire, continues to send her own followers to exterminate the "demons" and "prisoners" while co-opting the bloodline.
After the Mother Goddess cooperated with Crane and the High Visioner, He restrained a lot, and did not impose his own aesthetics and love on the extraordinary beings of these two paths on the earth - although the Fallen Mother God still believed that her believers and children should still look like their mothers, and He was simply anxious for these children whose aesthetics were distorted by God.
Although because of the change of the red moon in the sky before, the outer gods knew that the fallen mother goddess had quietly mixed into the barrier, and the desire mother tree was driven out, so there was one more outer god who stared at the barrier, and instead some of the outer gods with bad tempers had become scolding.
Of course, the fallen mother goddess is just watching her outer gods and children impotent and angry around her, especially the more rebellious tree treasure.
But that's all there is to it, impotent rage is impotent rage after all. The outer gods could only watch the three outer gods in the barrier relax here, making their own plans.
- Oh, it turns out that there are four outer gods who have entered the earth, and this one has been sealed.
Each of the four outer gods on the earth has a super large and super fun plan, and even the Circle of Fate and Primordial Hunger have projected their will over for sightseeing~
Guess who couldn't get involved in our plans - oh lamp god, it's you!
But then again, although most of the outer gods in the starry sky have not been doing well lately because of the high-dimensional overlookers, the gods on the earth are in even worse condition. After all, in the midst of Earth, there is now only one true creator with the authority of the three paths, who acts as the pillar of this astral barrier.
In the case of grazing the "sun" and indirectly using the authority of the "visionary", the true creator is about equal to a powerful three-way true god. His kingdom alone blocked most of the cracks in the barrier, and on this basis, the number of believers in the true Creator grew as the other gods retreated.
From the Republic of Rune to the Intis Empire, and now because of the defeat of the war, the image of the god of war has begun to be gradually distorted and promoted as a female Vorsack Empire. In all these countries there are believers in the true Creator, and the number of believers in the true Creator in each country is not small, and the Church of the Creator is one of the great churches in every country.
After all, the other gods simply don't have the guts to set up the Church of the Creator as their enemy. They have allowed the Church of the True Creator to preach freely in their nation. Neither the "God of Steam and Machines" nor the "Lord of the Storm" dared to suppress the Church of the Creator.
But even so, with the power of a single god on its own, the true Creator has some difficulty maintaining the barrier. If He could only rely on his own God, then the true Creator would not have the strength to continue to look at the world.
It is also because of this that the newly restored god "Black Emperor" Russell Gustav Huang, who is now on the side of the remnants of the old days, has also had to relocate the kingdom of God from his empire to the astral plane, and to block the door for the outer gods to enter with the true creator.
"If you get bored sometimes, remember to 'message' me, and I'll pull your historical projection over when the time comes. Well, I may have already gone to the stars by then, and you may not be willing to come by then. β
This area also has the power of the past, and it will not cause Crane, who is still only in Sequence Three, to be polluted by the gaze of the Outer Gods because of his knowledge of the starry sky.
Klein emphasized: "But whether you come here or not, don't cheat again this time." β
"The matter of the Black Emperor, can that be called cheating? That's called, that's called ......" Huang Tao and Klein glared, and then smiled heartily:
"Don't worry, don't worry, next time we'll play another game. Although you are not prepared to continue to advance on the 'Fool' path, when you are promoted to the 'Traveling Mage', your ability as an 'Ancient Scholar' will definitely be further enhanced - I have experience with this, I have changed paths once at that time, and I am familiar with the feelings at that time. β
"At that time, you will show a little more scene, let's call Gao Wei to play together - and Amanisis and the real creator, well, I just don't know if these two foreigners can play or not......"
With that, Huang Tao waved his hand and slowly disappeared in place.
Outside, his body turned into a distorted shadow, constantly magnifying, and the form was close to the "shadow of order" at that time, but the posture was more majestic and more indistinct. This was one of the protections that mortals would not go crazy when they saw the gesture of the gods, and of course, Huang Tao did not exert this protection on the cultists who had been blessed by the "Mother Tree of Desire".
For a time, a large number of the benefactors left by the Mother Tree of Desire in Trier died violently or directly lost control, and these people were taken away and disposed of by Trier's prepared soldiers.
The land of the Black Emperor on the ground was reflected in the sky, and suddenly a land hanging upside down seemed to appear in the sky above the entire Intis, and the people of the Black Emperor unconsciously raised their heads and looked at this miracle that only gods can create.
The Black Emperor stood on the earth, slowly raising his arms and touching the shadows in the sky with his hands. His body gradually rose, and as if he had no weight, he slowly lifted his feet and stepped into the air, stepping step by step on the shadowed land.
Although the Black Emperor's body has left the material world, the power of the gods still remains on this land, and the citizens of the Black Emperor can feel that they are closely related to the "Intis" in the sky. Every believer of the Black Emperor, the voters of the Black Emperor, suddenly understood:
This is the promise of the gods to themselves, after death, they, the people of the Black Emperor, will still follow the emperor and get eternal life in the kingdom of God!
Klein, who left the illusory space with Huang Tao, watched all this quietly and felt a slight sigh. In this world, the existence of gods and spirits is common sense, and when faith changes from illusory to real, justice does not depend on ordinary people themselves.
If the gods are evil, the believers are evil; If the gods are good, the believers are good. The image of the gods often determines the perception of believers, and only "power" is the "truth" of this extraordinary world.
Klein clenched his fists, and in the near future, Huang Tao's current vague hint to him was likely to be a choice that Klein would make.
Mortals anchor the gods with cognition.
- And the gods anchor good and evil with their power.
The High Dimensional Seeker walked out of the illusory gate and followed by the original "Gate" Mr. Bethel Abraham. Bethel watched the scene quietly and sighed slowly.
"What's wrong? Dear Bethel. The high-dimensional lookdown said to Bethel, but Bethel was silent. After a moment He spoke:
"I used to wonder if I had not been polluted by the Fallen Mother Goddess in the starry sky at that time, now that the will of the Heavenly Venerable has weakened, I would have been able to complete my ritual and become a true god by now. In this way, there is no need for such children to make sacrifices. β
"Who knows?" The high-dimensional lookdown let go of his shoulders, "Without the protection of the old days, you dare to explore the starry sky again and again, which is a very risky thing - or will it make you a little happier, a courageous thing?" β
"The 'gate' path is actually the least likely of the three paths of the Lord of Mysteries to become a god. Because in the case of a barrier, it is quite difficult to complete any sequence of rituals above the demigod through the "Gate", and the 'Arcane Mage' is slightly better, but the later ......"
The high-dimensional downlooking man chuckled, "If it weren't for the existence of an outer god, you would even be the most likely to become the 'Master of Mystery', it's just a pity." β
It's a pity that there is no what if...... Bethel sighed deeply:
"I have been and countless times stubbornly believed that I had to be a mystery in order to be able to control my own destiny. But after so many years of being corrupted by the fallen Mother Goddess, I found that I still miss this planet the most. β
"Even though this planet isn't very remarkable relative to the universe as a whole, it's where I grew up and has all my memories." Bethel had a gentle look in his eyes:
"If I had to choose between Amon and Crane, I would obviously choose Crane. Compared to Amon, I'm sure if I choose to support Klein, he'll help me protect my family. β
The high-dimensional overlooking person opened his mouth coldly:
"Don't you want to try to be the true God of the 'door' path again? With your abilities, you don't even need to complete your own rituals anymore, just take back the extraordinary traits and become the king of angels again. β
Bethel was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
"If a thousand years ago you asked me if I wanted to be a true God, then the answer I gave would have been yes. But now I'm not so attached to the great powers, I just need to keep the person of the angel and I can pursue the things that I love. β
Bethel curled the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly: "Or maybe I'm a little cowardly now, and I don't even dare to face the will of the 'Lord of Mystery'." β
"Okay, I'll just assume that's what you think." The high-dimensional overlooking man sighed with a little regret, "I'll go and help Klein prepare for the ceremony." Well, yes, I'll have to trouble you to go and see if Amon is targeting the 'half fool' on the other side of the Hornachis Mountains. β
Speaking of this, Gao Wei also sighed: "Speaking of which, Antigonus is really miserable, losing his father when he was young, losing his sister in middle age, and ...... in his old age Ahem, I was fooled by you to accommodate uniqueness, and there is no old age. β
"Are you overthinking? Amon is an extremely cautious king of angels, and I can't believe that he would have such an adventurous day. Ignoring the ridicule of the high-dimensional overlooker, Bethel frowned slightly, and couldn't help but say to the high-dimensional overlooker:
"To reach out to half a fool without Adam, who is his natural ally and who has helped him stabilize his mental state, is tantamount to sending oneself into a spiral of uncontrol. Not to mention, in the body of the 'half fool', there is already a part of the will of the Heavenly Venerable awakened. Even after years of wear, it was difficult for Antigonus to completely dissipate the will of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun. β
"Moreover, Amon himself is a mythical creature that has evolved from uniqueness, and there is a higher probability that the will of the Heavenly Venerable will will awaken in his body."
The high-dimensional overlooking man slowly shook his head: "Not necessarily, for Amun, although he has a certain humanity now, he still doesn't care too much about this planet. Perhaps he would cooperate with other gods and ask them for help. After all, as a natural mythical creature, Amon is more able to understand the minds of the outer gods, and the outer gods are more willing to invest in Amon. β
"Well, let me put it another way: if I am not on Klein's side with the Fallen Mother Goddess, the other outer gods will not have to make so-called investments and transactions with Amun, but will plot his characteristics. Because Amon and Crane are bound to be hostile, and after I support Crane, the Outer God Gate doesn't even need to think about whether I will use the power of the 'Lord of Mysteries' to suppress them after I succeed. β
"So in order to prevent me from having some plans against them, they will inevitably prevent the people I support from becoming masters of mysteries. And in the case that they have no way to enter the barrier, they can only balance me by supporting others to become mysterious. β
Seeing Bethel's thoughtful look, the high-dimensional lookdown shook his head and turned away from the virtual space.
He walked outward, but instead of going to the real world, he walked into another virtual space along an abstract thread with the concept of "road":
"Teacher, you're here."
A young man with brown eyes and a bookish aura said sincerely to the high-dimensional down-seeker, he put down the book in his hand and stood up, as if to welcome the arrival of the high-dimensional down-eye.
"How's it been fused with potions lately? Do you feel some kind of will awaken from your body? β
Seeing the young man in front of him, the high-dimensional overlooking man said softly to Klein Moretti in front of him, and he shook his head gently:
"Nope."
"Did you come to me this time because the person who inherited my body made his own choice?"
Maybe it's just one chapter today.,I'm busy with moving things today and tomorrow.,I'll try to finish tomorrow with two or three chapters left.γ
There will be a daily life in the later plots.,There's probably a few more plots after that.,This volume will end.,The head of state will write less things to prevent being crabbed.γ
- If I have to say it, Xi'er, who was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts and is not extreme-minded, may have a common topic with Anderson.
(As for the title?) This comes from the resentment of the card guy who opened a pack of RC2023 gold crushing ceremony prepared in advance, and it happened that Xiao Ke's ceremony was played here before he wrote about it)
