Chapter 268 Showing a Miracle

Having witnessed the performance of the four, the people present were somewhat convinced that they were gods. This seemed to be the only explanation for such unprecedented power.

Tap, tap, tap…

Just as everyone was stunned, the royal guard of the Heiruin Kingdom belatedly arrived. They had been ordered by Vosumed to surround the mages of the assembly, but Vosumed was dead, and the court mages had been frightened by the four suspected "gods," losing the courage to resist.

Vosumed’s wizard subordinates surrendered one after another. The leader of the royal guard was shocked and disbelieving upon learning of Vosumed’s death, but after confirming the body, he was overjoyed.

Vosumed was not supported by normal people; many wished he would die sooner, but they lacked the ability to kill him. Now, Vosumed’s death was good news for some.

The royal guard leader thought it was the assembly mages who killed Vosumed, but the truth from the wizards startled him. He couldn't help but size up the four "gods," his eyes filled with awe and suspicion, and hurriedly sent his men to notify the King.

At this time, the night was deep, and the atmosphere in the field was eerie. Almost everyone was sizing up the four of them. Han Xiao ignored the reactions of those around him and checked the mission rewards on the panel.

The reward for completing the chain mission \[Demon King of Nalen Star], the talent, had finally arrived.

\[Heart Lock]: Mental Resistance +20%, duration of all mental negative effects reduced by 10%. When subjected to mental attacks, you have an 18%~34% chance to be immune to the damage of that attack. When immunity takes effect, it needs a 30-minute cooldown before it can be triggered again]

"Adding my \[Advanced Mental Fortitude], I have a total of 55% Mental Resistance bonus. Compared to the Resistance bonus, this immunity effect can be surprisingly effective in some situations…"

Han Xiao nodded secretly.

Although the cooldown time was very long, perhaps only once in a battle, and he couldn't control it himself, it was still a very useful ability. If he had this talent when facing Sisko's psychic weapon, he might be able to directly be immune to a Super-A Grade mental attack.

The minimum trigger probability of the immunity effect was 18%, even if his luck was a little low, it was still barely acceptable—Han Xiao was used to looking at the lower limit of probability at first glance.

At this time, Tomar had already popularized the "god names" of Han Xiao and the others to everyone. Ulys came to Han Xiao with the crowd, his expression awkward, seeming not to know how to communicate with gods. It was the first time he had contacted gods beyond their life level, and he was full of awe and trepidation.

"Four Lords… uh, Gods, on behalf of all the wizards, I thank you for removing the devil Vosumed. If you have any requests, I will do my best to fulfill them…"

Han Xiao put away the panel, looked at the apprehensive crowd, and smiled, "There is one request. Tomar is the missionary I have chosen. I will take him to the Kingdom of God."

The missionary of the gods?!

Everyone turned their heads to stare at Tomar, their eyes full of envy, surprise, wonder, and other emotions.

Tomar opened his mouth wide, his brain blank, and pointed at himself in disbelief, stammering, "Wha-What does this mean…"

"It means I'll take you to the world of gods." Han Xiao completed the act and asked, "Are you willing?"

Tomar was so overwhelmed by this surprise that he blurted out several garbled words that even the translator couldn't understand. He nodded frantically, the frequency so fast that he seemed to be testing whether he could break his neck.

Ulys swallowed. He was full of curiosity about the gods themselves and the Kingdom of God, but he didn't know the character of the gods, so he didn't dare to ask rashly at this time.

At this moment, the soldier who had gone to inform the King finally returned and reported the situation to the Royal Guard leader.

Immediately afterward, the leader of the Royal Guard came to Han Xiao and the others, his face humble.

"Four gods, Your Excellency Ulys, Your Excellency Tomar, His Majesty the King wishes to meet with you."

Ulys did not answer but turned to look at Han Xiao, clearly knowing that the King really wanted to see the gods.

Han Xiao thought for a moment and nodded, agreeing to the invitation.

Meeting the King of the native regime wouldn't waste much time, and it could also dispel the worries of the new newbie, Tomar.

Seeing this, Ulys and Tomar also agreed.

"Please follow me."

The Royal Guard leader was overjoyed and led the six all the way to the main hall.

King Heiruin had urgently dressed in a set of royal attire to meet the crowd.

Faced with creatures suspected of being gods, King Heiruin tried to make himself appear dignified. It was his first time contacting gods, and he didn't want to disgrace the kingdom's honor, but his fat belly repeatedly ruined his attempts.

Seeing the Nalen Star people's appearance disguised by Han Xiao and the others, the tension in his heart dissipated a lot—at least the gods' appearance was familiar.

"Honorable gods, I, on behalf of Heiruin, welcome you. Forgive me for being presumptuous, but please allow me to ask, what exactly are gods, and what is your purpose?"

"Even if I tell you, you still can't understand our level of life." Han Xiao raised his eyebrows, pretending to be pretentious, and said, "As for our goal, the first is to eliminate Vosumed, which has already been completed. The second goal is to choose a missionary, and Tomar is my choice."

King Heiruin glanced at Tomar, remembering his appearance in his heart. He was moved and asked, "So, the four gods want to preach?"

"Well, you can understand it that way." Han Xiao nodded; this reason was more convenient.

King Heiruin's eyes lit up, thinking he had grasped the needs of the gods.

"In that case, if the four honorable gods can show miracles and bless Heiruin, I am willing to create a sect belonging to you and mobilize all the people of the kingdom to become your believers."

Han Xiao narrowed his eyes, not too surprised. For a backward civilization, knowing that gods actually exist was equivalent to an opportunity to reshape the social structure. In their eyes, the help of gods was more important than developing technology.

He could foresee that, under his influence, the development trajectory of Nalen Star civilization would change. The theocracy of religion would begin to intervene in politics, and there was a high probability of forming a theocratic political system.

At this moment, the panel suddenly popped up a new task:

\[Show a Miracle]

\[Mission Introduction: The native regime of Nalen Star regards you as gods and wants you to show "miracles." Perhaps you will leave your mark on the history of this civilization forever.]

\[Mission Requirement: Show a "miracle" that amazes King Heiruin (requires subverting the target's cognition)]

\[Reward: 3,000,000 EXP, 1 point of Planetary Legend]

"Oh, there's a branch mission." Han Xiao was secretly surprised.

In his previous life, players in the mid-to-late game would occasionally go to backward civilizations to pretend to be ghosts in order to obtain Legend—leaving their names in the history of a civilization was also a way to obtain Legend.

Since there was Legend, Han Xiao didn't mind doing this task by the way.

Scanning the expectant expressions of King Heiruin, Ulys, and Tomar, Han Xiao pondered for a while, stretched out his hand, and the nanoparticles formed countless engraving knives, quickly carving a map on the wall of the palace.

"What are you doing…" King Heiruin was stunned. He thought the miracle would be shocking, but he didn't expect it to be so simple.

"This is the original appearance of the world you are in, as well as the map of the entire world." Han Xiao said slowly.

The wall showed the map of Nalen Star generated by Phillip.

King Heiruin shook, quickly observed the map carefully, and exclaimed, "The earth is actually round?"

Even Ulys and Tomar looked surprised.

Today, the Nalen Star civilization only occupied a continent and had not yet explored the entire world. People did not even know that the planet under their feet was a sphere.

"Wait, outside our continent, there are two other continents?!" King Heiruin saw the point, and his breathing stagnated.

Heiruin was just one of the kingdoms on Nalen Star, and there were other countries competing with them for hegemony. If the other two uninhabited continents really existed, the kingdom would be able to gain the upper hand, and according to this map, they could first set foot on the other two continents for expansion.

At the thought of the possibility of expanding the territory, King Heiruin was so excited that he could almost hear the pounding of his heart.

Suddenly, King Heiruin realized that this map might not be correct because he had no way of knowing the true appearance of the world. Even if this was a lie from the gods, he could not expose it.

King Heiruin couldn't help but doubt. He coughed and asked carefully, "Honorable gods, how can I verify the authenticity of this map? You know, we are all insignificant mortals and do not have your abilities. We cannot cross the ocean beyond this continent to explore the world."

The mission has not been completed… Han Xiao frowned slightly, quickly let go, thought for a while, and said, "That's right. Then let you see it for yourself."

"See it for myself?" King Heiruin was stunned.

Before he could react, Han Xiao grabbed his shoulder and formed a life-support shield for him with nanoparticles.

Bang!

In the next second, Han Xiao grabbed him and soared into the sky, smashing the dome of the palace.

The altitude rose rapidly, and soon they reached the edge of the atmosphere. Here, they could barely overlook the entire planet.

"Well, did you see it? The world is round, and those two continents are there…"

Han Xiao said casually, turned his head to look at King Heiruin, and saw that King Heiruin was pale, his eyes blank, and his whole body was wooden, as if he had lost his ability to react to the outside world.

"Looks like it's too stimulating for him…"

Shaking his head helplessly, Han Xiao took him down quickly and returned to the palace in less than a minute.

When Han Xiao took off, Ulys and Tomar were already stunned. Seeing the two return, the two looked horrified. Only then did they understand that they had underestimated the gods. The abilities of the gods were beyond their understanding.

Han Xiao gave King Heiruin an energizing injection, and King Heiruin came back to his senses, shivered, his legs softened, and he fell to the ground. He could no longer maintain his majesty, his face was terrified, and he stared at Han Xiao speechless.

Before this, he still had a little doubt about the identity of the four "gods," but now, he had no doubts at all. His almost incontinent bladder replaced his brain, and his body remembered the fact that the "gods" were omnipotent.

"Do you believe it now?" Han Xiao smiled.

"I believe it, I believe it…" King Heiruin nodded repeatedly. In addition to awe, there was also fanaticism and piety in his eyes.

This is a miracle!

At this moment, he felt that he had finally found his faith.

Han Xiao's panel prompted that the mission to show miracles had been completed, and 1 point of Legend had been obtained.

\[Planetary Legend (Nalen Star): God of the Mortal World—The miracle you showed will change the development trajectory of the Nalen Star civilization to a certain extent. Your existence will be recorded in the history of this planet, the creatures of Nalen Star will treat you as a belief, and spread your divine light. The impact you have made will accompany this civilization for a very, very long time.]

An extra point of Legend… Han Xiao smiled secretly.

…

After King Heiruin promised to create a religion for the four, Han Xiao and his party left the court and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Tomar became a member of the team. He had agreed to follow Han Xiao to the "Kingdom of God." He was a standard orphan protagonist template, unencumbered, so he left very freely.

Han Xiao felt that taking Tomar away was also a good thing for Nalen Star. Tomar was the first person on Nalen Star to walk into the universe, just like himself back then.

Tomar was a thorough native, just right to open his eyes to see the world and understand the true face of the universe.

After he received systematic training, maximized his talent, and possessed stronger power, he could use the resources obtained in the universe to feed back Nalen Star, bringing far greater benefits to his home planet than the achievements he had left on Nalen Star in his previous life.

The mission was over, and Han Xiao did not stay on Nalen Star any longer. He took everyone on board and left the planet.

Tomar was curious about everything on the spaceship, but at the same time, he was a little confused, feeling that the style of painting was not quite the same as the gods he had imagined.

Han Xiao directly threw him to Fording and asked Fording to complete his enlightenment education.

He himself returned to his room alone and checked the backlog of messages over the past half month.

He skimmed through the daily chores of the legion, and after flipping through the communicator for a while, Han Xiao suddenly found a message from Harlow Fal.

It had been seven years since they last contacted. Han Xiao was curious about what Harlow Fal was looking for him for.

However, after only one glance, his face changed drastically.

The message was short, but the content shocked him. It wrote an inexplicable sentence:

"It's the Otherworldly Deity!"
