Chapter 438 Become a God! Become a God!
Three days later.
Central Rampart City.
Knights carried boulders on their shoulders as they walked through the streets and repaired buildings that had collapsed due to war.
On the wizard tower, Chu Ming looked down from the high-rise window. The whole city was full of order and prosperity.
"Dong dong dong..."
There was a sudden knock on the door, and the black cat walked into the room humming a little song and holding a letter in its tail.
"Ren, that general asked me to give you this letter."
"Cornis?"
Chu Ming unfolded the letter and read it carefully.
After the orc army was defeated, the Fengyang Army finally had time to deal with the rebels and the beast king occupying Falcon Barrier City.
The legion dispatched the Half-King, and within just a few days, the rebels were defeated and fled, never to be seen again.
They even followed the lead and arrested the domestic opposition who supported the rebels. The reputation of the opposition plummeted, and the supporters overwhelmingly called for the experiment to start early.
"Ten quotas for becoming gods..."
Chu Ming looked at the list. The first one was undoubtedly General Cornis. He had eight pieces of king's blood and was undoubtedly the closest to igniting the divine fire among humans.
He looked down and asked in surprise: "Marcel is in there too?"
Although Marcel is also an invincible half-king with five royal bloods, he does not have an advantage in terms of age. He is already over 300 years old.
Equivalent to the elderly among ordinary humans.
"It should be the last battle with the orc army. He was seriously injured trying to cover me and made a great contribution, so he was also placed on the list."
Chu Ming continued to read. He even saw Andrew's name on the list, and couldn't help but have a look of astonishment on his face.
Andrew's influence in the empire seems to be much higher than he imagined.
"But I don't seem to be on this list."
After reading the entire list, he didn't see his name.
After looking at the end of the letter, Chu Ming suddenly realized.
It's not that he doesn't have a spot, but that he and Konis are not on the same list at all.
As the youngest invincible half-king in human history, Ren Brick has made great achievements in battle. He fought against dragons, defeated twelve kings, and attacked and killed the king of beasts, Musa Karim...
A single achievement would be enough to amaze the world, let alone what he accomplished all of them.
Not only in southern Xinjiang, a large number of his supporters also appeared in the Fengyang Empire, where news was more accessible.
Many people regard him as the savior and the most promising human being to become a god, and their voices even surpassed that of Cornis Shanni.
"No wonder Belief in Godhead has been completed a lot recently."
It was the people's trust that allowed Chu Ming to enter a special list - the unrestricted list.
He is currently the only one on this list. As long as he signs and agrees, the empire will provide him with unlimited king blood until he has condensed twenty pieces of king blood.
He was the first person from southern Xinjiang to join the empire's plan, and he was also the first half-king to join the unrestricted list. From this, we can see how much the empire valued him.
"I remember that Herbert, the black-scaled dragon king, also lit up the divine fire after condensing twenty pieces of king's blood and became the dragon king."
His eyes flickered, "Twenty pieces of king's blood should be able to improve my success rate of igniting the divine fire a lot."
After thinking for a while, Chu Ming signed his name in the sacred contract attached to the letter and agreed to join the experiment of becoming a god.
The sacred contract glowed with golden light and slowly dissipated. Chu Mingruo felt something and looked up. He seemed to have established another connection with the majestic existence in the dark.
Konis mentioned at the end of the letter that the king of Fengyang Empire wanted to invite him to the royal capital to meet him.
But the experiment of becoming a god was about to begin. In order not to let him waste his training time, the general secretly reminded him in the letter that he could decline politely.
Black Cat stood on the window and glanced at the letter in Chu Ming's hand several times. She whispered: "I forgot to tell you. Miss Isabel seemed to have said that after you finish your work on the mainland, remember to return to the Black and Red Continent. ”
Chu Ming was stunned, "Isabel?"
"Did she encounter any difficulties?"
Black Cat shook his head, "I don't know. Anyway, just wait until you are free and go back."
"Oh, by the way, remember to take me with you when you go back. I want to see it too."
Chu Ming shook his head, "The matter in the Orc Empire is not over yet. I have a hunch that a storm is brewing and there will be no way to go back in a short time."
"Say sorry to Isabel for me. After the crisis in the Orc Empire is resolved, I will go back to visit her."
"I know, I know." The black cat lazily basked in the sun and yawned.
Two days later.
The material channel between the third and second barriers was reopened, and a large amount of arms and supplies were transported to the central barrier city by magic airships.
Four half-kings were also on the team, and they brought the first batch of king blood from the god-becoming experiment.
In the underground secret room of the central barrier city.
Chu Ming walked towards the kings and said, "Mr. Konis, it seems we haven't seen each other for several days."
Cornis walked over with a big smile and gave Chu Ming a warm hug.
"I've been busy cleaning up the battlefield these days, but now I can finally practice with peace of mind."
The man opened his palm, and a black reagent bottle made of special material flew into everyone's hands.
Chu Ming got five of the black bottles. When he opened the bottle caps, he saw a king's blood spinning slowly with a red light.
Looking at the five black bottles in his hand, he couldn't help but sigh.
Each of the royal blood here is the result of the knights' lifelong efforts, but they contributed their most precious things, which is enough to show how great their sacrifice is.
"Don't worry, I won't let you down."
Chu Ming sat cross-legged on the ground, opened all the black bottles, and swallowed all the royal blood in one breath.
This fierce scene immediately scared all the kings present.
Who swallows the royal blood one by one, for fear of any accidents during the digestion process.
Chu Ming was so good that he swallowed all five royal bloods at once, and the surrounding knights didn't even have time to remind him.
A half-king worriedly said, "The power contained in the five alien king bloods is already equivalent to the royal blood in his body. Isn't this too risky?"
Marcel, who had recovered, came over and shook his head and said, "His Highness has always been so... fearless."
He couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I originally thought that following His Highness to plunder the royal city was bold enough, but I didn't expect that he would actually plan to attack the orc army."
"But the facts prove that he is right."
Conis smiled and said, "These things cannot be accomplished without extraordinary courage. Perhaps we don't need to worry too much."
"The general is right."
The knights were relieved a little, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to swallow the alien king blood.
But they didn't dare to swallow all the king blood in one breath like Chu Ming.
After the half-kings entered the meditative state one after another, the underground secret room suddenly became quiet.
Above the secret room is the central tower of the fortress city. The wizard supervises the entire city and is alert to any abnormal events to prevent the half-king in the secret room from being disturbed.
A week later.
Chu Ming opened his eyes, restrained his sharpness, and his breath gradually stabilized.
After Conis sensed Chu Ming's breath, he opened his eyes and said in surprise: "You successfully condensed the sixth royal blood?"
The surrounding half-kings opened their eyes and looked at him in surprise.
The fastest among them had just consumed the third royal blood, but Chu Ming only took a week to digest all five royal bloods.
It can only be said that he is indeed a ruthless person who dares to swallow five royal bloods in one breath.
Chu Ming nodded, "Are there any more royal bloods?"
Conis stretched out his hand and three more black bottles flew to Chu Ming's hand, "There are only these three for the time being. The supply from the research institute is not coming so quickly. After all, the matter of royal blood involves too many forces."
"Sorry for bothering you, Mr. Conis."
Chu Ming opened the black bottle and swallowed all the royal blood into his stomach at once.
In fact, he still carried a lot of treasures that could help him condense royal blood, all of which were looted from the orc king city.
Even if the royal blood supply from the research institute has not arrived yet, he will not be idle.
The alien king blood surged in his body, and Chu Ming closed his eyes again and entered a meditative state, but the surprise he brought to the kings had not yet ceased.
Half a month later, Chu Ming, who had digested six king bloods, successfully condensed the seventh king blood, and his level exceeded that of most of the knights in the secret room.
Two months later, Chu Ming digested six king bloods and condensed the eighth king blood, successfully reaching the level before Conis.
After more than two months of training, the strength of other knights also ushered in earth-shaking changes.
Among the six half-kings on the scene, Conis condensed the ninth king blood.
Other half-kings also reached the level of seven king bloods.
Chu Ming and the six half-kings sat cross-legged in the secret room, and from time to time there would be a terrible breath leaking out from inside, and the metal walls of the secret room were forcibly scraped off a layer of powder.
Half a year later, Chu Ming broke through to the ninth with difficulty, reaching the same level as Conis.
But after that, the condensation of king blood became extremely difficult.
As long as the tenth king blood was condensed, the two would be truly qualified to ignite the divine fire.
However, this step was very difficult for them, as if there was an invisible barrier blocking them out.
One year later.
The other five half-kings reached the ninth level, while Chu Ming and Conis were still stuck at the ninth level and could not move.
Another year passed, spring went and winter came.
The Central Wall City was covered with snow and the lights were bright, on the night when the soldiers celebrated the New Year.
Someone broke through.
Chu Ming and Conis broke through to the tenth level at the same time.
"Boom!"
The strong wind and raging fire suddenly appeared in the secret room. Chu Ming's breath was horrified, and his body did not move, but the terrifying pressure awakened all the half-kings from their meditation state.
Chu Ming and Conis slowly floated up, their muscles and blood shone with divine light, transparent and visible, and the sound of their hearts penetrated the secret room like thunder and echoed throughout the Central Wall City.
The soldiers looked up at the sky and saw only a dark silence, but they were inexplicably palpitating, as if something was born.
In the Central Wizard Tower, the legendary wizards on duty were sensing everything that happened in the secret room. They opened their eyes wide and said in ecstasy: "Your Highness Ryan, Lord Conis, we have broken through the tenth one!"
There was a constant noise in the wizard tower. That night, a large number of magical creatures or magic props flew out of the wizard tower and flew towards the empire and southern Xinjiang, telling the world about the news that happened in the remote central barrier city, but was enough to shock the continent.
In the secret room, Chu Ming and the others began to consciously control their momentum. After a few minutes, the secret room gradually returned to calm.
The kings stood up and saluted with envy and joy: "Congratulations to the two adults for successfully obtaining the tickets to become gods."
Conis landed on his feet, returned the salute to everyone, then looked at Chu Ming and said with emotion: "Your Highness Ryan, I didn't expect you to catch up with me so quickly."
"But you are the only one on the road ahead."
The supply of royal blood is limited. He digested ten alien royal bloods just to condense the tenth royal blood. If he continues to practice, he will only occupy the share of other half-kings.
Moreover, he has sensed his own limit and there is no possibility of moving forward.
Chu Ming held the man's hand and said with emotion: "It doesn't matter if I am alone. I will go to see the scenery ahead for future generations in advance. After me, there will always be someone who will embark on the same road as me."
Conis laughed freely and said: "Okay, okay, I look forward to that day."
...
Conis left the secret room.
He was the first to finish his practice. There were still many military affairs piled up in the Central Barrier City, waiting for him to deal with.
The news of Chu Ming and Conis's breakthrough soon spread back to the Fengyang Empire and the Southern Frontier. The world was in an uproar, and the news even spread to the Northern Empire.
After receiving the news, the Orc Empire took the initiative to abandon the border and retreat the front line. Compared with the massive attack a few years ago, the current Orc Empire seems a little low-key.
During this period, Chu Ming temporarily returned to the wizard tower to visit the gold and copper coins, as well as the black cat and the green vine. After spending a few days peacefully, he returned to the secret room to continue practicing.
In the 4518th year of the Magic Era, four years had passed since the experiment began. The half-kings in the secret room broke through the tenth limit one by one, obtained the qualification to become a god, and left the secret room.
This year, Chu Ming just condensed the thirteenth blood of the king.
Since breaking through the tenth limit, his digestion speed of the alien blood of the king has returned to normal. It took him a year and a half to quickly condense three more bloods of the king.
It seemed that the limit encountered by Conis did not exist at all for him.
In the 4519th year of the Magic Era, a year later, Chu Ming's blood of the king reached fifteen.
Just when he thought that the days would continue to be peaceful, bad news came from the empire.
In order to seize the opportunity to become a god, the royal half-king only prepared for one year and hurriedly ignited the divine fire.
As expected, the half-king's body and soul were annihilated in the divine fire, and one of the eleven candidates for becoming a god was forever missing.
After the news came out, the whole country was shaken, and there were discussions and criticisms everywhere. The half-kings who had originally planned to ignite the divine fire suppressed their impatience.
In the 4522nd year of the Magic Era, two years passed quickly.
The secret room was extremely empty, with only Chu Ming left.
After an unknown amount of time, he slowly opened his eyes and exhaled.

"Nineteen pieces of King's Blood..."
Chu Ming sighed slightly, "Obviously, I have encountered the same bottleneck as before. It is not as easy as I thought to condense the twentieth piece of King's Blood."
