1535 A world with as many gods as dogs
In the dark abandoned castle, Tang Zhen sat on a chair and slowly read the book left behind by the summoner.
This guy was still unaware that he had been hypnotized by an illusion. After he told everything he knew, he no longer had any value in existence.
So, under the black-robed man’s astonished eyes, Tang Zhen rewarded him with a bullet.
This fellow could not understand even in his death why the Otherworld creature he summoned would not listen to his orders and even dare to kill him.
How would he know that Tang Zhen’s appearance here was merely a coincidence and had nothing to do with his summoning array?
The other party knew of his background. If there was no need, Tang Zhen would definitely not leave anyone alive. Moreover, just by looking at the corpses on the ground, one would know that this fellow had definitely done many immoral things. Tang Zhen would not have any psychological burden if he were to kill him.
Through the narration of this guy who did not leave his name, Tang Zhen knew that he had a basic understanding of this world. At the same time, he also vaguely knew the purpose of his coming here.
Plane invasion was something that cultivators in Lou Cheng were best at, and he should be here for that.
As expected, it didn’t take long for the cornerstone platform to release a mission.
[ you are the king of the land. You summon the cultivators of the city to fight against the native forces and destroy all the believers of the native gods. Before the highest level of combat power of the plane takes action, the trial-takers are not allowed to participate in the war! ]
Looking at the quest notification, it was clear that this time, the test was not for the trial-takers, but the residents of the building that the trial-takers belonged to.
During the entire trial process, Tang Zhen only needed to be responsible for summoning and commanding. Even if he could directly challenge the Aboriginal deities alone, the rules simply did not allow him to do so.
Just as Tang Zhen had predicted, the strength of the residents of the tower City was also within the scope of the trial. The mission requirements displayed on the cornerstone platform also proved this point.
In addition to the basic requirements, the platform also gave detailed rules. For example, Tang Zhen could only start summoning from a level 1 cultivator. Moreover, he only had 500 points at the beginning and could summon five cultivators from loucheng.
Tang Zhen needed these five cultivators to get points. For every enemy of the same level he killed, he would get 100 points. When his points reached 100000, he could summon the level 2 cultivators.
Occupying a sufficient area of land, destroying a certain number of temples, and seizing precious items would all be rewarded with corresponding points.
In addition to the rules of obtaining points, there were also punishment rules. For example, when a cultivator of Lou city died in battle, the corresponding points would be deducted. When the occupied area was taken away, a certain amount of points would also be deducted.
Cultivators who did not comply with the requirements to participate in the battle would have a large number of points deducted. If they attacked each other from the same camp, they would also have their points deducted.
This was already the fourth time Tang Zhen had participated in a mission. However, this time around, the requirements were the highest, causing people to feel that they were not free.
However, from another perspective, this was actually not bad. He just had to quietly command. After experiencing three nervous and dangerous mission worlds in a row, he really needed to rest for a period of time to digest and summarize what he had learned.
He was not in a hurry to summon Lou Cheng. Instead, he walked around the dilapidated castle to see if it met the requirements to be a temporary base.
It could be seen that the castle was very old. Most of the area had collapsed into ruins. Bones were scattered everywhere in the debris and grass, and traces of wild animals were sometimes visible.
“What a terrible environment, but I can only make do with it for now!”
In fact, there was not much harm in being in the wilderness. At the very least, it would not attract the attention of powerful enemies in a short time. When his troops were strong, he would naturally choose a more suitable place to station himself.
After making a round, Tang Zhen stood at the highest point of the abandoned castle and opened the foundation stone platform in the light ball in his mind.
As he operated, all the residents of loucheng that belonged to the sacred Dragon War zone appeared in front of him. Their avatars surrounded Tang Zhen like a wall. Every time Tang Zhen locked onto a certain avatar, the other party’s information would appear in his consciousness.
As the Lord of the war zone, Tang Zhen’s range of choices would definitely be much larger than the tower Lord. However, in terms of quality, he might not have much advantage.
Even though he had a battle zone, there was still a significant gap between him and the loucheng in the powerful battle zones.
Fortunately, this gap was only concentrated in high-end combat power. Low-level cultivators were similar in other aspects except for their equipment and skills.
According to the usual configuration of a cultivator battle team, Tang Zhen needed two close-combat cultivators, one for guerilla reconnaissance, and two for long-range attacks. However, as the equipment of Lou Cheng’s cultivators was constantly updated, the original clear division of labor began to become blurred.
The close-combat cultivators could also attack from a distance, and the long-range cultivators could also be responsible for reconnaissance. Lou Cheng, who had received all kinds of skill training, could adapt to all kinds of roles with the cooperation of various equipment.
After quickly browsing through the list, Tang Zhen quickly selected five Level 1 building cultivators and summoned them.
A distorted plane channel appeared. Five cultivators from loucheng city wearing different types of armor appeared in front of Tang Zhen. There were cultivators from the Holy Dragon City as well as cultivators from other loucheng.
“We pay our respects to Sir Tang Zhen!”
The five cultivators of loucheng city still had a trace of shock on their faces. However, they already knew their mission during the teleportation process, so they did not panic.
Moreover, the one who had summoned them was the Lord of the Holy Dragon Warzone. To be able to fight for such a strong person was definitely an extremely honorable thing!
thank you for your hard work, everyone. I believe you already know what you have to do. Due to the rules, I can’t give you too much help. I’ll leave the rest to you!
Hearing Tang Zhen’s words, the five of them repeatedly said that they would not let him down. The pride and excitement in their hearts became increasingly intense.
Rank 1 cultivators were actually the lowest rank in the tower. They didn’t even meet the requirements to carry out the mission. The oldest among the five was only fifteen years old, but now they were entrusted with an important task by Tang Zhen, becoming the first batch of cultivators to be summoned.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Tang Zhen wanted some reliable people to prevent any mistakes, there would be many cultivators in Holy Dragon City who had a level 1 cultivation at the age of ten.
The Holy Dragon City was now a paradise. After staying here for a long time, even an animal would become extraordinary because of the nourishment of energy!
Tang Zhen did not say anything more when he saw that the five of them were filled with confidence. After giving some simple instructions, he arranged for them to investigate the surrounding environment and see if they could obtain some points.
According to the guy that Tang Zhen had “summoned,” there were many cultivators in this world. The number of gods was also uncountable. Sometimes, even the villagers of the same village would have different beliefs.
The believers of those gods could accept the grace of the gods and then obtain powerful strength through cultivation. Because of the different beliefs, these believers often fought with each other, and deaths were even more common.
Although the overall situation of the world was controlled by several powerful believers of the gods and suppressed the believers of other gods, it was just like leeks, cut one after another, and the believers of various gods had never been cut off.
The occurrence of such a situation meant that the power of the source of this world was extremely rich, which was why so many gods were born.
In such a chaotic environment, as long as the cultivators of loucheng entrusted a non-existent God to deceive all the natives, they would not be able to discover their identity as outsiders in a short time.
However, it did not matter even if he was discovered. This was because the battle between the two sides was already unavoidable. Tang Zhen was only concerned about how to obtain more of the world’s origin.
No matter when, Origin Energy would always be the most scarce resource. The fifth battle area would naturally not let go of such a world with rich production.
And using the trial as an opportunity to invade this world was naturally a rather good idea.
