Chapter 171 Awakening
Zhang Yuanqing initially found it difficult to accept. He didn't accept the fact that he was actually an NPC living in an instance, which made him feel that his personality was insulted.
As The Way of the Extraordinary, as a person from the real world, he always had a sense of superiority over the ignorant creatures in the instance, looking at them from a God's perspective.
Only now did he realize that the clown was himself.
But considering that the villain is also himself, the NPC is not something difficult to let go of.
In front of the gods, mortals are just low-level beings that can be created at will. What is the difference between NPCs in instances and wild humans?
It's just that wonderful feeling that still lingers in my heart.
Didn't we agree that non-The Way of the Extraordinary items are not allowed to be brought into the instance? Zhang Yuanqing smiled self-deprecatingly, "I understand, you create The Way of the Extraordinary with the origin of the universe as the core and the godhead as the supplement. This planet is also in The Way of the Extraordinary. The evil gods must invade The Way of the Extraordinary if they want to destroy the orderly plan."
It is the protection of The Way of the Extraordinary that allows these mortals to survive in the evil gods' prying eyes.
Speaking of this, he didn't know what he thought of and frowned: "But isn't The Way of the Extraordinary 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 belongs to a large instance of The Way of the Extraordinary, then a breach in The Way of the Extraordinary can also be equivalent to a leak in the sky, and evil descends from space.
However, The Way of the Extraordinary, as a product that has existed since ancient times, should not have ultra-modern elements such as instances, job changes, and attribute interfaces.
Haotian Shangdi smiled and said, "In ancient times, we taught humans to cultivate. As the rank of mortals became higher and higher, this planet gradually couldn't accommodate their battles. In order to allow them to have rich training grounds, the managers opened up one blessed land after another, which is called The Way of the Extraordinary!"
"Some of these The Way of the Extraordinary have been recycled and become the current instances, and some have remained in the world for some reason."
"The Merit List was a means of maintaining order in ancient times. It records the virtues of the strong, and the one with the highest merit is often recommended as the leader."
"The existing functions of The Way of the Extraordinary also existed in ancient times, but the forms of expression were different. After The Way of the Extraordinary was revived in modern times, the previous order could no longer be used, so I combined it with reality and made adjustments, and that's how the current The Way of the Extraordinary came into being."
So that's how it is... Zhang Yuanqing accepted this statement and turned to ask another thing: "Is Nuwa, the god of the Scholar and Musician authority, meaning that her sleeves are more powerful than ordinary gods?"
Haotian Shangdi nodded slightly: "That's right. Nuwa, Mother Goddess, Master of Wind and Thunder, Earth Emperor, and God of Magic are the top gods. The rest of the gods are a bit worse. But there are exceptions. Some rules are born stronger than others, like me."
Zhang Yuanqing glanced at the dial behind Haotian Shangdi's head and tentatively said, "Your rule... time?"
Haotian Shangdi smiled and said, "You can also call me the 'God of Time'."
"Why are there no professions related to you in The Way of the Extraordinary?"
"I need to maintain myself in a state of complete victory in order to maintain the operation of The Way of the Extraordinary and resist the invasion of invaders with the power of one god." Haotian Shangdi 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, there are many orderly gods who have left behind godheads in The Way of the Extraordinary, but the operating capacity of The Way of the Extraordinary is limited. If those godheads are included in it to generate professions, The Way of the Extraordinary will be too bloated and have greater loopholes and errors."
"Perhaps in the future, when the sun, moon, and stars return to their positions and the master of the universe is born, The Way of the Extraordinary 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. The evil gods have clearly not died, so why can they split out godheads and form demigod-level items?"
Haotian Shangdi responded: "The Way of the Extraordinary was created by us based on the godheads left by positive gods. How could the godheads of those negative gods who died in the war become the professions of The Way of the Extraordinary?"
"The reason why existing evil professions can become professions in The Way of the Extraordinary is precisely because the evil gods behind them have invaded The Way of the Extraordinary. However, they can only split out part of their rule power and invest it in The Way of the Extraordinary, forming incomplete godheads and creating evil demigods to fight against the orderly camp."
"In general, demigods only have demigod power, but they do not have the qualifications to influence The Way of the Extraordinary because they are not administrators."
"However, as long as the owner of the sun, moon, and stars chooses to stand on the side of the evil camp, they can open up the number of administrators as the core administrator of The Way of the Extraordinary and incorporate evil professions into it."
"In this way, those evil gods outside The Way of the Extraordinary can take advantage of the situation to become administrators of The Way of the Extraordinary and destroy the entire orderly camp, or even destroy The Way of the Extraordinary."
"In their view, their behavior is to maintain the order that was established at the beginning of the universe."
So, the evil camp does not have "demigods," that's what it means. Zhang Yuanqing asked curiously, "After the universe has a will, can it really reverse the rules and change the fate of destruction?"
Haotian Shangdi 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 choice of 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, indicating that he understood, while digesting the known information and searching his stomach for omissions and supplements, he suddenly remembered something.
"I have seen Bu Liangshuai. He denied that he was Emperor Shi. Where did Emperor Shi, the first strongman in ancient and modern times who comprehended the mysteries of the five elements, go?"
At the moment when the The Way of the Extraordinary prompt sounded in his ears, the two groups of people immediately moved. Everyone's speed was as fast as flashing, and they came to the evil camp's array domain with its time limit cleared.
A 500-square-kilometer domain covered in barren sand.
The Void Demigod was the first to arrive, standing in the pillar of light leading to the sky. As soon as he stood still, he saw a black shadow like an iron tower, wrapped in howling wind, smashing like a star. Eight arms swayed, each holding a weapon, slashing towards the Void Demigod from all directions.
Boom!
The eight weapons converged at one point, and the kinetic energy generated by the collision caused the space to collapse.
The Void Demigod did not confront head-on, nor did he try to use void sneak attack. He teleported away from the pillar of light in advance. If he had chosen void sneak attack just now, he would have been seriously injured.
The violence of Asura can penetrate space, and void sneak attack cannot completely immunize it.
Fu Qingxuan, who came from behind, shouted:
"The five elements are united. I will form the head!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the Lord of Zhongting's body suddenly rose, becoming a giant god of earthy yellow. Wisps of earth spiritual power were drawn from the ground like silk threads, wrapped around his feet, forming a pair of bright yellow silk cloud boots.
The charming Palace Master of the Water God transformed into a rolling dark cloud, lingering around the giant spirit, forming a dark black robe embroidered with dark patterns.
Little Sapling stretched its body and wrapped around the giant spirit's waist like a ribbon, turning into a jade-inlaid emerald green belt. Jiang Bangzhu set off a sea of fire and crashed into the giant spirit, and the giant spirit grabbed the sea of fire and flicked it behind him, and with a whoosh, he waved the flames into a robe.
Finally, Fu Qingying transformed into a ray of light and landed on the giant spirit's head, turning into a tassel-hanging jade crown.
The giant spirit's appearance immediately became clear, with regular features and a majestic demeanor.
The five great spiritual powers of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth were boiling, merging with each other, and evolving into a hazy chaotic spiritual light. The entire instance world showed a trend of re-enacting chaos.
The giant spirit took a step, shrinking the ground to an inch, and came to Asura, punching him.
Boom!
The sound of the fist hitting Asura's body was like detonating a nuclear bomb. The sound alone could kill ordinary humans. Asura flew backwards like a cannonball.
The giant spirit shrank the ground to an inch again and chased after him.
The Void Demigod returned to the pillar of light again. The ancestors of the The Way of the Extraordinary families, the Sea Emperor, the Chairman of the Heavenly Punishment Board, the Goddess of Beauty, and the Lord of the Stars stood tacitly in front of 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: "Hey, it seems that the masters behind you have stopped. If I were you, I would offer my knees now. In a war that you can't win, surrender is the correct choice."
The evil demigods ignored him, secretly communicating with the supreme existence in the dark, requesting the descent of power.
They were not afraid of death, but they certainly would not die in vain.
Time passed by every minute and every second. Five minutes passed in a flash. When the core of the array was about to be taken 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 expires, according to the current situation, it will undoubtedly be taken by the orderly camp, and the orderly side can open the abyss and summon the origin of the sun.
The battle in the distance slowly subsided. The giant spirit shrank the ground to an inch and returned to the orderly camp, splitting into five alliance leaders.
Asura, covered in blood, stepped on the barren earth and returned step by step.
The two sides confronted each other in silence.
Ling Tuo frowned and looked at the evil demigods: "Those existences have not responded yet?"
The Gu Dragon of the Spiritual Energy Society and the two Illusion Gods of the Southern School shook their heads at the same time.
The King of Fear touched his silver ear studs; "Maybe they are pulling with The Way of the Extraordinary. After descending power twice in a row, the The Way of the Extraordinary mechanism will definitely repair the loopholes."
The Illusion God of the Southern School吐出一口浊气: "We can only wait and see."
At this moment, Asura's deep voice sounded; "Retreat!"
New Covenant County
Vinnie Berent stood by the window, admiring the city scenery under the blue sky and white clouds.
This week was very peaceful. The evil camp had stopped, and the incidents of zero-dollar shopping, street shootings, and cult sacrifices... had dropped sharply. The orderly members, who had been holding their nerves tight for a long time, finally had a chance to breathe.
Although she was very clear that this was the calm before the storm, a moment of calm was also calm, which was better than constantly holding her nerves tight and being in tension and danger.
You know, since the evil and orderly camps started fighting in October last year, the members of the Heavenly Punishment Branch in New Covenant County have suffered heavy casualties and the headquarters has already needed to draw people from all over the place.
Vinnie Berent was preparing to go to a hot spring after work to wash away the fatigue of work and enjoy the upcoming weekend.
At this moment, the telephone behind her rang with a piercing and urgent tone. For some reason, Vinnie Berent's heart trembled, instinctively feeling that it was not a good thing, perhaps because she had received too much negative information during this period of time.
She frowned, walked to her desk and picked up the microphone.
The secretary's hurried voice came from the speaker: "Minister, we just received a notice that the Gods of Wind and Thunder have awakened."
Vinnie Berent seemed to be struck by lightning, and she was stunned.
