Chapter 725: Please Kill the Local Gods
Lu Yao looked at the little man in front of the Colossus totem.
This local named [Zhang Cheng] is very old, but he is only thirty years old, and his level is LV12.
His abilities include [Wisdom LV4], [Alchemy LV6] and [Heart-Erosion Seal LV30].
Lu Yao focused on the latter two items.
…
[Alchemy]: He is good at refining various medicinal materials and raw materials into elixirs with special abilities. The stronger the effect of the elixir, the stronger the negative effects it will have. The refining efficiency is related to the level of the ability, and the strength of the effect is related to knowledge and luck.
[Heart Erosion Seal]: A special curse seal is engraved on it, and the target's internal organs are cultivated and strengthened through the curse seal. At LV40, they will be completely mature and torn out of the body.
…
Zhang Cheng's personal history, beliefs, ideals and interpersonal relationships are all blank. This is also because history is connected to the rules of the world, and the background of the world must be controlled in order for these records to appear on the individual's panel.
But Lu Yao didn't care.
The important thing is to obtain alchemy.
From the description, this ability is a double-edged sword.
Among the existing technology trees of the Yao civilization, [Medicine] is the pursuit of curing diseases and saving people. The special branch [magic medicine] evolved from medicine goes a step further, using advanced materials to develop extraordinary medicines and some health medicines while ensuring stability.
[Alchemy] is different. It refines elixirs with various abilities, coexists with side effects, and greatly stretches the upper and lower limits.
Lu Yao liked it very much.
There are magic potions at the lower limit, and elixirs are needed to overcome the upper limit.
Although the side effects are also troublesome, they provide more room for operation.
Lu Yao zoomed in and got a data panel of this irregular world.
…
【Jindanguo】
[Godhead]: None.
[Divinity]: As humble as an ant (791872).
[God Body]: Gods Level (1019403).
…
It turned out to be a divine kingdom without a god.
Lu Yao saw this situation for the first time.
He opened the star map of the title "Guide" and found that there were densely packed light red star points in the void nearby.
Red represents danger.
What is going on here?
Lu Yao dragged the star map to further zoom out and finally determined the specific location.
Jindan Kingdom is located in an area with few gravel worlds in the crawling area. The red dots next to it are space gaps, and some scattered white pixels fly out from time to time. They go in and out of the gaps, leaving and returning.
Lu Yao thought it looked familiar. He moved his mouse over it and it displayed as [Swarm of Cursed Insects].
However, the number of cursed insects here is very small, and the swarm of insects seemed to have received some kind of call and did not stop. After emerging from the gap, they gathered straight ahead and drove all the way to the distance.
The only thing Lu Yao can be sure of is that the situation of this godless world is precarious, and it must be investigated as soon as possible.
He immediately clicked [Yes] to complete the transaction.
On the screen, Zhang Cheng had an exclamation mark on his head: "It's done, it's done! Theology! This is the power of theology!"
Lu Yao came to this world as Huang Jia.
Within the world, Zhang Cheng's appearance became clear. There were wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and mouth, his white hair was slightly messy, his lips were dry and peeling, and his eyes were tired, as if he hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.
The locals dress very tightly, and it seems that the clothing culture tends to be conservative.
However, Zhang Cheng's first words made Lu Yao a little embarrassed.
"...Are you the evil god?"
Can this be seen?
Wait, who am I, the evil god?
"I am not an evil god."
Lu Yao raised his palm to signal to stop.
Although my brother is not a righteous partner, he is not an evil god either.
After introducing himself on stage, Lu Yao began to actively learn about the local alchemy technique.
What made him regretful was that there was no such thing as cultivating immortals in the Golden Pill Kingdom. The purpose of refining pills was to help people survive better. The natural environment here is very harsh, and the injuries and deaths caused by people's outdoor activities are very high.
Lu Yao glanced around.
There's not enough light here, the sun looks sickly, and there's a layer of haze hanging in the sky.
The air was filled with a pungent, sour smell of decay, like chemical waste and rotten vegetable leaves mixed together. Vegetation in the soil is sparse, most of which are weird and short.
There aren't many animals either.
In the swamp at your feet, there is a kind of frog with a flat body called [Li Frog]. Its levels range from LV8 to LV14. They have four eyes and they spray poisonous juice from their bodies. There is also a jumping [running bass], which is similar in level to a frog. Its tongue in its mouth is like a bone spur. It catches and fights with frogs in the mire.
There are also flies and mosquitoes nearby. They are hard, oily black or dark brown, and fly almost silently, making them even harder to detect.
Lu Yao frowned.
He hates mosquitoes and flies.
With lightning or the blazing sun?
However, these creatures seemed to have sensed something. After being caught by Lu Yao's gaze, they fled one by one, and the surroundings quickly became deathly silent.
Hearing that Zhang Cheng's younger brother was paralyzed and deaf-mute due to poisoning, Lu Yao helped him.
Sekhmet eliminated the two status bars of [Poisoned] and [Paralysis], and Zhang Ye regained his ability to speak and move in an instant.
Zhang Cheng was grateful and told everything he knew.
According to Zhang Cheng's description, there are two gods here.
One is the mountain god, who is worshipped and offered sacrifices by the Jindan Kingdom and is also the local orthodox. The other is the Mu Yi Fang in the opposition, who is seeking to gain the dominance and the fire of faith here through Qing Heshang's preaching and developing believers.
But these two are not good people.
The mountain god uses the mark to control the believers, so that everyone can only live to the age of 40, and the internal organs in the body will turn into monsters and leave the body, becoming a living sacrifice for the mountain god.
Mu Yi Fang uses the removal of the heart-eroding seal to control the believers and mobilize the locals to spread and recruit people. The rumored immortality and various supernatural powers of Qing Heshang are all the public opinions created by Qing Heshang's believers behind the scenes.
"...When gods fight, mortals suffer, that's the situation."
Zhang Cheng sighed: "We ordinary people just want to have enough food, not to starve or freeze, and have a place to live. We can endure any hardship. But in the current situation, I really have no way out."
He suddenly said: "But as long as you take action, everything will be different."
The old young man Zhang Cheng looked hopeful: "Although I don't know your origins...but you gave the statue the ability to trade, and generously cured my brother. If it is the evil god who did this, then only the evil god can save us, and the world will become better with the evil god."
Lu Yao emphasized again: "I am not an evil god."
"I'm very sorry, please treat it as the nonsense of a patient."
Zhang Cheng said: "I don't have a few years to live, a mortal like me, The closer you are to death, the clearer you can see yourself. "
He had a lonely and self-deprecating smile on his face: "In life, there are many things that you can't choose. What kind of world you live in, whether you are protected by gods, what kind of parents you have, whether you have family, if you have it, you have it, if you don't, you don't have it."
"There are only a few things that can be chosen."
"That's why you have to make a choice when you have to. As long as you don't want to stay the same, you have to learn to change and try, take the initiative to change, and accept the results that may be better or worse."
"Although it's a bit rude and out of line to say this, I have an unwelcome request for you."
Zhang Cheng showed a resolute look, and bowed respectfully: "Please kill the local gods."
"..."
Lu Yao looked up to this bold alchemist. Courage is the rarest and most precious quality of human beings. Even in the face of desperate situations, you have to try to fight back, which is always appreciated.
"Give me a reason."
Lu Yao switched to god mode.
I won't pretend anymore, I'm showing my cards.
I am a god!
Zhang Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up: "If there is no blockade and suppression by the mountain god, people can live longer, and an alchemist with a longer life span will achieve higher achievements, and many recipes and experiences can be passed on more completely."
"For a long time, generations of alchemists have to complete their recipes in a limited life, and they will be more or less eager for quick success, while the alchemists who take over have their own ideas. So it may take three to five generations of alchemists to revise and improve a recipe, but if their life span can reach fifty years, then two generations can do it."
"I can feel that you respect knowledge and alchemy. As long as alchemists don't have to worry about making any banned pills - just like my Powang Pill, they are worried every day, everyone will be able to develop more outstanding and diverse pills. As long as they no longer fear and restrain themselves, even mediocre people like me can make some new achievements."
"The alchemists in the past have laid a lot of foundations and left us a lot of valuable experience. We can go further. Please believe us!"
Lu Yao nodded in his heart.
A large group of skilled alchemists and a prototype of an alchemy industry are very attractive.
"The people of Jindan Country are very simple. As long as you are a god, we will offer our faith and sacrifices, and we will never dare to disobey you. This has not changed for many years. Although some people also believe in another god, Mu Yifang, they also believe in the mountain god. The people of Jindan Country dare not offend the gods, and they are always cautious and hope that the gods can be satisfied."
Zhang Cheng added: "Of course, there are also alchemists. Their alchemy can also save a lot of manpower. They are a good helper to the secular world."
Lu Yao was also straightforward as always: "Lead the way, go and see that Qing Heshang."
Zhang Cheng was overjoyed: "Yes, yes! Please follow me."
...
Outside a cave, Lu Yao saw the one-eyed monk.
When Qing Heshang saw Lu Yao, his face suddenly changed: "God descended to the world!"
He just ran a step, a light lit up on his chest, and his chest was pierced by a long spear with five spearheads emitting red flames, and the whole person was nailed to the ground.
Qing Heshang immediately showed a dejected look and gave up resistance completely.
This scene happened in a flash, so that the masked believers and Zhang Cheng brothers around were a little unresponsive.
Lu Yao thought that Brionak was indeed a sharp weapon for catching people.
He looked at Qing Heshang.
"It turned out to be a shadow demon."
The demon was searching for faith in this world.
Lu Yao snapped his fingers.
A dark crack opened up next to him, and gusts of wind gushed out. A man with eight arms and a skull necklace tore open the space and walked out of the darkness.
She is a head taller than Lu Yao, with long hair hanging down to her knees. She wears a gold crown set with gems in the shape of a peacock feather, and a thin gold ring on the left side of her nose. The woman with blue skin is wearing a wide sari with red background and gold pattern. Her eight arms are slender but powerful, luxurious and proud.
It was also the first time for Lu Yao to see Kali himself up close.
Her eyebrows are somewhat girlish and masculine, she is energetic, and exudes a heroic aura, which is completely different from the sluggish appearance from the perspective of the simulator.
"Mr. Yaoshen? You called me?" Kali blinked.
Lu Yao pointed to the shadow demon in front of him who was immobilized by a spear: "Do you know him?"
The eight-armed demon glanced at Monk Qing. Monk Qing, on the other hand, stared with one eye wide open and his mouth trembled: "Devil God... Lord Incarnation of Extinction..."
"It's the projection of Mu Yibo, recognition."
Kali yawned, covered his mouth with his hand and said: "That guy is also a demon god, and is also famous in Japanese mythology. Its official title is [Aobo Lord]. But it doesn't do well in hell, and was beaten by the black angel. It’s so bad, the Demon God Pillar was smashed and is now being rebuilt.”
"I sent the projection here secretly, probably to try to get the Fire of Faith... I dare to build an altar in your place. I will catch it and deal with it for you."
"Need not."
Lu Yao waved his hand: "Go and do your work."
"Yes, call me if you need anything."
Kali waved goodbye, showed a hearty smile, and disappeared into countless black dots.
It's easy once you know the details.
Lu Yao looked at the shadow demon who was nailed to the ground with a gun: "Now, I ask, you answer, do you understand?"
Monk Qing nodded as if pounding garlic.
Lu Yao was stuck for a moment.
Where should I start asking?
It seems that Isabel has always been in charge of interrogating and gathering intelligence, so it’s better to call her over and have a professional counterpart.
"I said it all, I said it all."
However, Monk Qing took the initiative to confess: "I came to this world to collect the fire of faith. As you know, devils have a hard time with constant wars over there. I came here so that my body can endure less hardship and not be pinned down in hell by the Black Angel." Here...I didn't know that this was the kingdom of God for a strong man like you. Really, I would never dare to do this..."
"Please let me go. It's really in a miserable state right now. The Demon God Pillar has been destroyed every time it was built... It's now isolated and helpless, and it's still working hard."
Monk Qing burst into tears as he spoke.
Everyone around them looked confused, this was beyond their understanding.
Lu Yao coughed: "Speak nicely, I'm just asking about the situation. What do you mean by beating and killing? What do you mean by crying! Pay attention to the devil's qualities!"
"Yes, yes, you are right."
Monk Qing tried his best to raise his head, with a scared smile on his one-eyed face.
