Chapter 18 A Hierarchical World

Tian Zhao glanced at me unwillingly, but he really didn't dare to touch the little girl in front of him who looked to be only seven or eight years old. In the end, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and turn around and fly away. Mother Earth turned around and walked back to the Gate of the Earth. She glanced at me as she passed me, but said nothing.

I quickly jumped out of the space door and rushed out of the combat area first. The mission assigned by the God of War has been completed, and it seems that the city wall behind can no longer be defended. In addition, the boss Tianzhao was also scared away, and the psychological impact on RB players was still huge. Although it was Mother Earth who scared me of Tian Zhao, in the eyes of the players, it was all caused by me. It also fulfilled the God of War’s order to make a big move. The remaining RB players can be dealt with by the Chinese players themselves. Anyway, the number of people is ten times that of others, so I'm not afraid that I won't be able to capture them.

After running into a forest far away from the battlefield, I quickly opened the space door again, got in, and closed the door smoothly. Open the phoenix dragon space in the gate of the earth, and then say to the demon pets: "Ling, Xiaochun, Amynis, Yeyue, Xiaofeng, Lucky, and Xiaolongnu, all come with me, the others will rest here. "

Crossing the vast grassland to reach the real palace of the Mother Earth, this is the real residence. The main hall was empty. I found the small square in front and found Mother Earth. As if she knew I was coming, Mother Earth was already sitting at the edge of the fountain waiting for me.

"Why did you run in?" Mother Earth asked deliberately.

"Hey, of course I have something to ask." I quickly moved a stone and sat down in front of Mother Earth.

"What can you do?"

"Of course I have something to do." I quickly called all the demon pets to come over and sit down, and then asked Mother Earth: "Actually, I mainly wanted to ask about Tianzhao. Just now you seemed to know that his past was ?"

"No, I don't know. I heard the name Tianzhao from you, how could I know his past? I'm not the God of Time."

"But you just said he was a human, what's going on?" Ling is worthy of being a leader among my demon pets, and he is very clever. You immediately knew what I meant.

Mother Earth replied: "It's very simple. A living thing must have a certain aura anyway, and I am the God of the Earth. All matter comes from me. If you can't tell what it is, Then what kind of god am I supposed to be?”

"But Japanese people call Tianzhao a god, but you found out that he is a human being. So how did he become a god? I want to know what happened in between." I asked very sincerely.

Mother Earth smiled and said: "I think you already know the answer, but you haven't connected them to think about it."

"I know?" I thought about it carefully. There seems to be little information available. He shook his head helplessly. "No, I can't remember it at all! Please ask the Mother Goddess to help explain it!"

"Okay then!" Mother Earth Goddess said slowly: "Actually, it's easy to say. You know the Creation Star, right?"

"Yes. I know. Isn't the Star of Creation the Ring of Commandments?"

"The Creation Star is actually more than just a ring of commandments. The information you get from the lower gods is actually incomplete, and they themselves don't fully understand what the Creation Star is, so the information you get from them is naturally incomplete. It may be comprehensive. In fact, the Creation Star you have been talking about should be called the Wheel of Commandment. It also has a core, and that thing is called the Creation Star. After the two merge, the Creation God is formed."

"That means the thing I have there should be called the Rhythm Wheel, right?"

"Yes, and that thing is only a part of the founding god. If we have to use the analogy of humans, the wheel of rhythm is equivalent to the human body. The stones of commandment that need to be inlaid on the wheel of commandment are equivalent to the limbs, and The Star of Creation is the brain, and the thoughts of the Creator God are preserved in the Star of Creation.”

Ling asked: "This is completely different from the information I have heard before, but it is just the origin of this world. What does it have to do with Tianzhao?"

Mother Earth said: "Of course this is relevant. Because the God of Creation represents the first level of existence in this world. He is the peak and the lowest level of power."

Yeyue nodded and said: "This is understandable. Power circulates, and the peak means that it has returned to its origin."

Mother Earth nodded and said: "As expected of a direct descendant of a higher god, his understanding is different! Indeed. The Creator God is the first level that makes up this world. Further down, the Creator God once personally created some experimental products , that is, we, the higher gods.”

"Experimental subject?" My demon pets and I almost shouted.

"Yes, experimental subject." Mother Earth didn't mean any displeasure. "We, the higher gods, are the experimental subjects. The Creator God doesn't know how effective it is to create individuals like us, so he planned to experiment, so we were born. Since they are experimental types, the Creator God uses them on us The peak form of all powers was created to test our ability to withstand power. Many experimental subjects died during the experiment. Those who survived became superior gods. Since we represent the peak form of power, so in the It seems to you that we have incredible power. However, compared with the God of Creation, we are still not as good as him, because we only master one peak form of power, and the God of Creation himself controls all the peaks of our power. form, so we can't defeat him. Moreover, as our creator, the God of Creation is actually our father, so we will not resist him. Later, the God of Creation left. We were designated by him as the place of strength. The successor manages the world on his behalf. This is why we have titles such as Mother Earth and Goddess of Life. In fact, we all have names originally. It’s just that you have been calling us by our positions. As a result, later We rarely call each other by name anymore."

Ling asked: "So you upper gods are the second level of this world, right?"

"Yes, we are the second-level existence that represents the pinnacle of individual strength."

Yeyue also asked: "You said that I am a direct descendant of the upper god. What is going on?"

Mother Earth said: "Speaking of it, your clan has always been an accident. Before talking about your special 'nature', let me tell you about the third level of this world. This third level actually includes all intelligent creatures. You They are all part of the third level. The God of Creation lowered the manufacturing technology based on us upper gods, and then produced a level with much worse quality, but that can be mass-produced. And there are many different models. "

I nodded and said: "After working on it for a long time, we have mass-produced organisms. Compared with the trial models in the laboratory, the materials are simpler and the quality is much worse, but the manufacturing is simple and the production speed is fast."

"That's right. Intelligent creatures are all mass-produced, but you were not created by the Creator God himself. He only provided design guidance. It was us, the higher gods, who created intelligent creatures like you. And you are actually not We directly create them, but they are the descendants of the creatures we created originally. The third-level creatures have simplified manufacturing methods, so they have a lifespan limit. In order to cope with this situation, the Creator designed a reproduction system that allows the creatures to Continue your own descendants. And you are the descendants of the first generation of manufactured products. And further down, those monsters are fourth-level creatures. Their intelligence is relatively poor, and they can be regarded as a kind of eliminated experimental products. Further down, there are completely Plants with no attack power and some small animals, this is the fifth level of this world."

"What about us?" Xiaochun asked, "What's going on with us lower gods?"

Mother Earth said: "You are all third-level creatures. Zi Ri is, Lucky is you, and so are you and Ling. You are all third-level creatures. But you all gained great power, and as a result you began to call yourself gods. From my understanding, you are actually third-level creatures that have gained power, maybe I can call you second-level half-creatures."

"What is level two and a half?"

"Let's put it this way." Mother Earth nodded at Little Dragon Girl. "She should actually be a fourth-level creature. That is, a creature at the same level as Warcraft."

"What? I'm a fourth-level creature?" Xiao Longnu was very surprised. "Why am I so many levels below them?"

"Because you Shenlong itself is a branch of Warcraft. Lucky you, don't laugh. The same is true for your dragon clan. The earliest third-level creatures are only humans. Those who are not humanoid or later become humanoid are not the original third-level creatures."

"Then how come we have become level three semi-creatures now?"

"Because of evolution." Mother Earth said: "You two dragons were originally fourth-level creatures, but as your personal strength increased, you began to gradually evolve. You two should know that. The first baby dragons cannot speak. Yes, as they grow older, they will gradually be able to speak, and then they can learn to change their appearance with practice. When they can finally turn into human form, the dragon will already be a third-level creature. As its strength further increases, at this time Those who can compete with your so-called gods are second-level half-beings. There are also humans who are better at self-cultivation, such as your Chinese gods. They have also surpassed humans and become second-level half-beings."

Yeyue asked: "But after saying so much, I still don't know what level I am?"

"You have been a second-level semi-creature since you were born." Mother Earth Goddess said proudly: "In fact, you should not have existed in this world, because you are a descendant of Nuwa. Although Nuwa created your Chinese Humans, but they were created by her magic power. It does not mean that she directly gave birth to humans. However, she did get pregnant and gave birth to descendants of your clan, and they actually prospered for a while. According to the original intention of the Creator God, As second-level creatures, we should not have offspring, but because the specialty of Nuwa, a second-level creature, is life. As a result, she self-fertilized and gave birth to Nuwa’s descendants. That is your snake demon clan. You are born as second-level and a half. Creatures are half a level higher than humans. Even if they don't practice, they can still be on the same level as those gods and gods."

"So I am such a powerful creature?" Yeyue said proudly.

Mother Earth said angrily: "You are the most powerful creature! You are the least hardworking among them. You do the math, you have the best foundation, and the result is similar to them now. It shows that you are the least hardworking." With your strength, you are fully capable of becoming a second-level creature.”

"Can I become a second-level creature?"

"Of course, what's the problem with this?" Mother Earth said naturally: "Except for the second-level creatures and himself, the first-level creature, in the world created by the God of Creation, the structures of other creatures are the same. In other words, as long as they are willing to work hard, any low-level creature can become a second-level semi-creature. However, if there are no special conditions, these creatures will never reach the standards of second-level creatures, because our structure is special and different from ordinary creatures. Same. Yeyue, you are a descendant of Nuwa. Although your abilities are not as strong as your ancestors, most individuals of your clan rely on self-reproduction, so the body structure has not changed much. In other words, you actually have The qualifications of a high-level god only lack training."

Yeyue was very excited when she heard it, but I was thinking about something else. "Mother of the Earth. Since the lower gods all cultivated themselves, does that mean that Tianzhao is actually among them?"

Mother Earth nodded. "certainly."

"You said before that he is a human being. According to this statement, then he is a person who has cultivated himself. Then isn't he the same type as our Chinese gods?"

"To be exact, that's the case. But gods are also different. Let's use the heaven system that you are familiar with in China. Can the mana of the Earth God be comparable to that of Zhenjun Erlang?"

"Do you mean to say that Tianzhao is more powerful than the gods in our country or not as good as our gods?"

"No. What I mean is that the power of gods and earth has a general range, but it is not necessarily the same for everyone. There are many gods in your heaven who are more powerful than Tianzhao, but they are not much more powerful. But considering that the gods on your side There are more. I think the God Realm of RB is far from your opponent in a real fight. Of course, you can only be considered a lower level among the second-level semi-creatures. Most of the gods can defeat you, but I am talking about you. Me. The problem is that you always carry so many second-level and half-creatures with you as followers. I guess if you all go together, there probably won’t be many people who can block the second-level and half-creatures."

"You're saying that if my demon pet and I attack together, Tianzhao may not be our opponent, right?"

Mother Earth nodded. "But your chance of winning is still less than 50%. Your combined strength is only a little higher than Tianzhao. And your power is scattered. Even if you cooperate well, you may not be able to act as one person. Fighting. But this is not certain. After all, there are advantages to having more people. In short, there is no absolute gap between masters. Sometimes a little bit of luck and a little hard work can defeat enemies that are much stronger than oneself. This Neither is accurate."

"I've been talking for a long time but I still can't beat him!"

"It's not that you can't beat it absolutely, but you can't beat it under normal circumstances. Besides...are you listening to these things from me in vain?" After speaking, Mother Earth suddenly smiled slightly, and then disappeared, no matter what I did Can't find it. I had no choice but to leave the space door first. Anyway, if Mother Earth wanted to hide from me, I would definitely not be able to find her with my ability, so my search would be in vain.

Open the door with a depressed mood. As I walked, I was still thinking about what the last words of Mother Earth meant. As soon as I stepped out of the door, I suddenly felt a cold wind blowing by. "Why did the temperature suddenly drop so much?" I looked around in confusion. When I first entered the Gate of the Earth, it was still a lush forest. Why did it turn into a world covered in silver just after the conversation? There was still the forest in front of me, but it was completely covered by a thick layer of snow. Not only the ground, but also the nearby trees were covered with snow. Even if the weather changes quickly, it can’t change from autumn to winter in just ten minutes!

Yeyue stretched out her hand to catch a piece of snowflake and put it in front of her nose and smelled it. "It's evil. This is not a natural snowfall." She blew the snowflakes off her hands and drew her sword.

I raised my right hand and made it into a fist, then suddenly opened it. The demon pets behind them dispersed with a huff. A minute later they came back again, with a bloody sword in their hands.

"What's going on?" I asked Yeyue, who was holding a sword.

Yeyue thrust the sword into the ground. "Someone just fought a battle here. This was pulled from the battlefield. The person who was killed seemed to have been stabbed to death by his own sword. Judging from the temperature of the body, he had not been dead for a long time. The body was still there. hot."

"Is this an ordinary PK from RB people?"

"Probably not." Yeyue said: "The person who was killed wore the badge of the Northern Alliance."

"Chinese?"

"I guess so!"

"Take me to see it."

She closed the space door and took back the other familiars, and followed Yeyue to the battle scene she found. There is snow everywhere here like everywhere else. The difference is that the snow here is very messy and has obviously been stepped on many times. There were a lot of traces of blood spraying in the field, not only on the snow, but also on the leaves and tree trunks nearby. The one on the ground was probably not the only one who was killed. It was probably the Japanese who took away the bodies of their companions.

I turned the body over. This is a strange middle-aged man, who seems to be a team leader-level player. The three major guilds in our country each have their own characteristics. The characteristic of the Hot Blood Alliance is its looseness. They are basically a guild organized by players voluntarily. The characteristic of our guild is that it is elite, and all of them are special talents. The characteristic of the Northern Alliance is discipline. They basically use military management. Each player is divided into detailed status levels and wears a sign similar to an epaulette on the shoulder to distinguish them. The deceased was a squad leader, and his hand was still holding something tightly.

Yeyue also noticed that the position of the other person's hand was not normal, so she opened his hand and searched for it, but only found some powder in his hand, and she didn't know where it came from.

"Hey, you...?" A guy suddenly appeared in the woods behind. Seeing us rummaging for things on the ground, he immediately pulled out his sword and rushed forward.

Yeyue quickly reached out and blocked the opponent's attack with her sword. I instantly noticed that the other party was actually wearing the badge of the Northern Alliance.

"Wait, this is a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?" The other party quickly glanced at my chest. "why you?"

"Do you know me?" I was surprised at the other person's reaction.

The player quickly put away his sword. He pointed at my chest. "How could I not even recognize the badge of the Frost Rose Alliance? We are also an alliance guild after all, right? And you also wear a three-dimensional badge. Except for the president who can wear a three-dimensional badge, all members wear flat badges. Badge. So you can only be Zi Ri, the president of the Frost Rose Alliance."

"You are very smart." I pointed to the corpse on the ground. "Are you a companion?"

He walked over and rummaged around the body, and finally stood up again and said: "I came to meet him, but I didn't expect that he was killed in advance. He has probably returned to China now, but it's a pity that he didn't bring that thing with him come out."

"Something? What?"

"Guild secrets, don't ask me." This guy clearly distinguishes between public and private matters. "I think the RB people may be making big moves recently, so you'd better be careful."

"I understand, thank you. But may I know who wants to kill you?"

"Do you even need to ask? Of course he belongs to Nobunaga. Besides, that thing also belongs to him. I hope there is still a chance to get it back."

"You have no chance. Because you are all going to die here." A cold female voice suddenly appeared in the white mist in the distance.

"Who?" We stared in that direction together.

Slowly, a curvaceous black figure appeared on the edge of the white fog, but the fog blocked it so I couldn't see his face, but I knew he had a good figure.

"Who are you? Did you kill my friend?" the player from the Northern Alliance asked.
