Chapter 171 Awakening
Zhang Yuanqing initially found it difficult to accept. He couldn't accept that he was actually living as an NPC in a copy, which made him feel insulted.
As a Lingjing Xingzhe, as a person from the real world, he always held a sense of superiority over the ignorant beings in the copy, viewing them from a God's perspective.
Now he realized that he was the fool himself.
But considering that the villain was himself, the NPC wasn’t such a difficult thing to let go.
In front of the gods, mortals were just low-level beings that could be created with a flick of the hand. What difference was there between the NPCs in the copy and wild humans?
It was just that strange feeling that still lingered in his heart.
Didn't they say that non-Lingjing items couldn’t be brought into the copy? Zhang Yuanqing gave a self-deprecating laugh. "I understand now. You use the origin of the universe as the core, and godhood as a supplement, to create Lingjing Xingzhe. This planet is also in Lingjing Xingzhe. If the evil gods want to destroy the plan of order, they must invade Lingjing Xingzhe."
It was the protection of Lingjing Xingzhe that allowed them, these mortals, to survive the evil gods' prying eyes.
Speaking of this, he frowned, as if he had thought of something, "But isn't Lingjing Xingzhe a modern product?"
He had seen in the murals of the Bronze Tree that divine power came from meteorites falling from the sky, and evil also came from meteorites falling from the sky.
Of course, if the entire planet belonged to a large copy of Lingjing Xingzhe, then a breach in Lingjing Xingzhe could also be equated to a leak in the sky, with evil descending from space.
But Lingjing Xingzhe, as a product that has existed since ancient times, shouldn't have ultra-modern elements such as copies, class changes, and attribute interfaces.
The Vast Sky Lord smiled and said, "In ancient times, we taught humans to cultivate. As the position of mortals became higher and higher, this planet gradually could not accommodate their battles. In order to allow them to have rich training grounds, the managers opened up one blessed land after another, called Lingjing Xingzhe!"
"Some of these Lingjing Xingzhe were recycled and became the current copies, and some remained in the world for some reason."
"The Merit List was a means to maintain order in ancient times. It would record the virtues of the strong, and those with the highest merit would often be recommended as leaders."
"The current functions of Lingjing Xingzhe also existed in ancient times, but the way they were expressed was different. After the revival of Lingjing Xingzhe in modern times, the previous order could no longer be used, so I combined it with reality to make adjustments, and that's how the current Lingjing Xingzhe came to be."
So that’s how it is... Zhang Yuanqing accepted this explanation and turned to ask about another matter, "Does the fact that Nuwa is a god with the authority of Scholar and Musician mean that she is stronger than ordinary gods?"
The Vast Sky Lord nodded slightly, "That's right. Nuwa, the Mother Goddess, the Lord of Wind and Thunder, the Earth Emperor, and the God of Magic are the top gods, and the rest are somewhat inferior. But there are exceptions, some rules are inherently stronger than others, like me."
Zhang Yuanqing glanced at the dial behind the Vast Sky Lord's head and tentatively asked, "Your rule... time?"
The Vast Sky Lord smiled, "You can also call me the 'God of Time'."
"Why are there no professions related to you in Lingjing Xingzhe?"
"I need to maintain my own state of complete victory in order to maintain the operation of Lingjing Xingzhe and resist the invasion of invaders with the power of one god." The Vast Sky Lord sighed, "Energy is conserved. The more spiritual power scattered outside, the weaker the power of the godhead. In fact, in addition to the currently known orderly professions, many orderly gods have left their godheads in Lingjing Xingzhe, but Lingjing Xingzhe's operational capacity is limited. If all those godheads are incorporated into it and professions are generated, Lingjing Xingzhe will become too bloated and have bigger loopholes and errors."
"Perhaps in the future, when the sun, moon, and stars return to their positions, and the Lord of the Universe is born, Lingjing Xingzhe can evolve to a higher level, and then more professions can be generated."
Zhang Yuanqing asked in confusion, "The known evil professions all have an evil god behind them. Since the evil gods have not fallen, why can they split their godheads to form demigod-level items?"
The Vast Sky Lord responded, "Lingjing Xingzhe was created by us based on the godheads left by the positive gods. How could the godheads of the negative gods who died in the great war become the professions of Lingjing Xingzhe?"
"The reason why the existing evil professions can become professions in Lingjing Xingzhe is precisely because the evil gods behind them invaded Lingjing Xingzhe. However, they can only split off part of their power of rules and invest it in Lingjing Xingzhe to form incomplete godheads, creating evil demigods to confront the orderly camp."
"In general, demigods only possess the power of demigods, but they do not have the qualifications to influence Lingjing Xingzhe, because they are not administrators."
"However, as long as the owner of the sun and stars chooses to stand on the side of the evil camp, they can expand the number of administrators with the identity of the core administrator of Lingjing Xingzhe and incorporate evil professions into it."
"In this way, those evil gods outside of Lingjing Xingzhe can take advantage of the situation to become Lingjing Xingzhe administrators, destroying the entire orderly camp, and even destroying Lingjing Xingzhe."
"In their view, their behavior is to maintain the order that was established at the beginning of the universe."
So, that's what it means that the evil camp doesn't have "demigods." Zhang Yuanqing asked curiously, "After the will of the universe is born, can it really reverse the rules and change the fate of destruction?"
The Vast Sky Lord sighed, "It is also possible to choose to stand on the side of the evil camp and maintain the original order. This is the special nature of the Night Wanderer profession."
"The will of the universe does not belong to order, nor does it belong to evil. Or rather, it can be either order or evil."
"For the candidates for the 'will of the universe,' we can only try to choose those who are close to order and agree with the concept of order! As for whether the will of the universe can comprehend a way to change fate, this is something that even gods cannot guarantee, but as long as there is hope, we will try."
Zhang Yuanqing nodded to show that he understood. While digesting the known information, he searched his mind for omissions and gaps and suddenly thought of something.
"I have seen the Unfavorable General. He denied that he was the First Emperor. As the first strong person in ancient and modern times to comprehend the mysteries of the Five Elements, where did he go?"
The moment the Lingjing Xingzhe prompt sounded in his ears, the two sides immediately moved. Everyone's speed was so fast that it was like a flash, and they came to the array field of the evil camp whose time limit had been cleared.
A five-hundred-square-kilometer field covered with barren sand.
The Void Demigod was the first to arrive and stood in the pillar of light. As soon as he stood firm, he saw a black shadow like an iron tower, wrapped in whistling wind, smashing like a star. Eight arms swayed, each holding a weapon, slashing at the Void Demigod from all directions.
Boom!
The eight weapons converged at one point. The kinetic energy generated by the collision caused the space to collapse.
The Void Demigod did not fight head-on, nor did he try to sneak into the void. He teleported away from the pillar of light in advance. If he had chosen to sneak into the void just now, he would have been seriously injured.
The Shura's violence can penetrate space, and sneaking into the void cannot completely immunize it.
Fu Qingxuan, who came from behind, shouted:
"The Five Elements Unite, I'll form the head!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the body of the Lord of the Middle Courtyard suddenly grew taller and became a giant earth-yellow god. Strands of earth spiritual power left the ground like silk threads, wrapping around his feet to form a pair of bright yellow silk woven cloud boots.
The charming Palace Mistress of the Water God turned into a rolling dark cloud, surrounding the giant spirit to form a black robe embroidered with dark patterns.
The little sapling stretched its body and wrapped around the giant spirit's waist like a ribbon, turning into a jade-inlaid emerald belt. Gang Leader Jiang set off a sea of fire that crashed onto the giant spirit. The giant spirit grabbed the sea of fire and shook it behind him, turning it into a robe of flames.
Finally, Fu Qingxuan turned into a beam of light and landed on the top of the giant spirit's head, turning into a tassel crown hanging with jade beads.
The giant spirit's appearance immediately became clear, with regular facial features and a majestic demeanor.
The five great spiritual powers of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth boiled and merged with each other, evolving into a hazy chaotic spiritual light. The entire copy world showed a trend of re-enacting chaos.
The giant spirit took a step forward, shrinking the earth to an inch to come in front of Shura, and punched out.
Boom!
The sound of the fist hitting Shura's body was like detonating a nuclear bomb. The sound alone could kill ordinary humans, and Shura flew backward like a cannonball.
The giant spirit shrank the earth to an inch again and chased after him.
The Void Demigod returned to the pillar of light. The ancestor of the Lingjing Xingzhe family, the Sea Emperor, the director of Heavenly Punishment, the Goddess of Beauty, and the Lord of Stars tacitly blocked the pillar of light, coldly watching the demigods of the evil camp.
Only five demigods were left in the evil camp. The Void Demigod looked up at the sky. "Huh, it seems that the masters behind you have stopped fighting. If I were you, I would kneel down now. In a battle you can't win, surrender is the right choice."
The evil demigods ignored him and secretly communicated with the supreme existence in the dark, requesting the descent of power.
They were not afraid of death, but they would not die in vain.
Time passed by, and five minutes passed in a flash. When the core of the array was about to be seized by the orderly side, the supreme existence did not descend any power.
In this way, the evil camp only had the last array left.
Three days later
Once the time limit expired, according to the current situation, it would undoubtedly be seized by the orderly camp, and the orderly side would be able to open the abyss and summon the origin of the sun.
The battle in the distance slowly subsided. The giant spirit shrank the earth to an inch and returned to the orderly camp, splitting into five alliance leaders.
Shura was covered in blood, stepping on the barren soil, and returned step by step.
The two sides confronted each other in silence.
Ling Tuo frowned and looked at the evil demigods. "Those existences haven't responded yet?"
The Gu Dragon of the Spiritual Energy Society and the two Illusion Gods of the Southern Faction shook their heads at the same time.
King of Fear touched his silver ear studs; "Maybe they are wrestling with Lingjing Xingzhe. After descending power twice in a row, the Lingjing Xingzhe mechanism will definitely repair the loopholes."
The Southern Faction Illusion God spat out a mouthful of turbid air: "We can only wait and see."
At this moment, Shura's low voice sounded; "Retreat!"
New Covenant County
Vinnie Burnt stood by the window, admiring the city scenery under the blue sky and white clouds.
This week was very peaceful. The evil camp stopped fighting, and conflicts such as zero-dollar purchases, street shootings, and cult sacrifices... plummeted. The orderly members who had been on edge for a long time finally had a chance to breathe.
Although she knew very well that this was the calm before the storm, a moment of peace was still peace, which was better than being on edge all the time, immersed in tension and danger.
You know, since the start of the war between the evil and orderly camps last October, the members of the New Covenant County Heavenly Punishment branch have suffered heavy casualties and the headquarters has needed to transfer manpower from all over the place.
Vinnie Burnt was going to take a hot spring after work to wash away the fatigue of work and enjoy the upcoming weekend.
At this moment, the landline behind her "ding-ling" rang sharply and urgently. For some reason, Vinnie Burnt felt a chill in her heart and instinctively felt that it was not a good thing. Perhaps it was because she had received too much negative information recently.
She frowned, walked to her desk, and picked up the microphone.
The secretary's urgent voice came from the loudspeaker: "Director, we just received a notice that the Wind and Thunder Gods have awakened."
Vinnie Burnt was as if struck by lightning and was stunned.
