Chapter 59 Taboo Shield
Chapter 59 Taboo Shield
Through Duan Xing's narration, Zhou Xiao roughly understood his origins.
The world background described in the guide is that Emperor Zhao has fallen and fallen into a deep sleep underground in Emperor's Tomb Village. They, the players, are the heirs of Emperor Zhao's power. The world-class main task is to help Emperor Zhao find the lost origin and gain the power to fight against the terrifying black tide.
As for what happened in the tens of thousands of years after the fall of Emperor Omen, the guide does not provide a detailed answer, and players need to explore and understand it on their own.
But here in Broken Star, he found some expanded plot of the world background.
The Counter Tide Legion is a force established on the Pale Continent after the fall of Emperor Omen. It has grown rapidly during this period and is currently one of the most powerful forces in the Monster World.
During the development process, it gathered a large number of ethnic forces that were once loyal to Emperor Zhao. The Tianfu Clan behind Duanxing is an ethnic force that serves the Against Tide Legion.
Qi Sheng, who was behind the scenes, could naturally hear their conversation.
He was also very curious about the organization called the Counter Tide Legion.
What is certain is that this god who calls himself Nicholas must be one of the gods who once served Emperor Zhao.
Through the teachings of the four great servants, he learned that before Emperor Zhao committed suicide, he had established a world regulatory agency in the monster world, which was divided into five levels.
Everyone inside possesses great power that transcends the mundane.
Among them, the strongest under Emperor Omen are collectively called the Four Gods. They have mastered the powerful power to understand the origin of the world and even change the laws that govern the operation of the world.
They are the ones who created the Challenger System, and now they are loyal to his guidance, Jiuyin, Yanming, and Chaowei.
Below the Four Gods are called the Eight Extreme Gods. Qi Sheng believed that the "God Against the Tide" described by Duan Xing would be one of the Eight Extreme Gods, but he was unable to analyze which one it was for the time being.
As for the Ice Blade that left behind a cross-century gift, he is not among the world regulators and can only be regarded as a demigod-level regional overlord with a fiefdom.
He is the strongest among the mortals and has the strength to initially challenge the fifth-level world supervisor.
Thinking of this, Qi Sheng looked at the guide floating beside him and asked with a smile:
"Last time I heard the conversation between the Evil Spirit and the Evil Eye, the strength of the Anti-Tide Corps seemed to be very strong. They have killed many high-level combat units bred by the terrifying black tide. Obviously, they are doing much better than you. As a former Four Gods, what do you think?"
Hearing this, the guide sighed in despair:
[Boss, during the craziest phase of the Black Tide, it was the four of us who were fighting head-on. It was because of our efforts that other forces had room to develop and breathe. I guess the Against Tide Corps was also established during that period. Now it seems to be developing well and has gained the loyalty of a large number of ethnic forces, but behind this success is our efforts.]
"What is the relationship between the four of you and the Eight Extreme Gods?"
[Not very good. Although our world supervision authority is higher than that of the Eight Extreme Gods, the Eight Extreme Gods only obey the dispatch of Emperor Zhao... We may not like each other, but the racial forces under our management often cooperate with each other. There are even many races that believe in multiple gods, believing in both our four gods and the Eight Extreme Gods, so we occasionally exchange the energy substances we collect.]
"Exchange energy and matter? I don't understand."
The water ball heard this and continued to explain:
[Emperor Zhao controls the essence of energy "Sacrificial Power" that can transform all things, and the gods under him control the inferior energy. The various races under his control often sacrifice energy to worship the gods. In order to reduce the energy conversion consumption, we often exchange the energy sacrificed to us by the races outside the management area. 】
At this point, the guide paused, a thoughtful expression appeared on the surface of the water ball, and after organizing his words, he continued:
[The simple explanation is that the Buddha on Earth enjoys incense in foreign countries, which belongs to foreign exchange energy income. The Buddha can eat this part of income directly, but there is energy loss in converting this part of foreign exchange income, so the Buddha can choose to directly exchange foreign exchange with Jesus to reduce energy conversion losses. ]
The explanation in the guidance made Qi Sheng burst into laughter, but it also clearly explained the relationship between the supervisors of the monster world.
Under Emperor's Omen, different gods supervise different areas of the monster world. Although there are differences in strength among them and there are obvious differences in their control over the rules of the world, there is no direct subordinate relationship.
It's just that in certain circumstances, senior supervisors have greater say. Not getting detailed information about the counter-tide from the guide, Qi Sheng turned his attention back to Zhou Xiao.
……
"So your shuttle has most likely been sacrificed to Emperor Omen. There's no way to get it back. Give up on this idea."
Patting Duan Xing's shoulder, Zhou Xiao said with a regretful expression.
At this moment, Duan Xing looked bewildered:
"What did you say before?"
"I said that once something has gone into a player's pocket, don't even think about taking it back, let alone items that have been sacrificed to Emperor Zhao. Unless you have the ability to go to Emperor Zhao's Tomb Village to ask for it, or the Eclipse Clan can operate the backstage to send the decomposed items back to you, but this is simply impossible."
When Zhou Xiao mentioned the three words "Dizhong Village", Zhou Xiao in Duanxing's eyes suddenly kept silent, and then added a sentence "This is simply impossible."
This was one of a series of taboo messages that Qi Sheng had secretly set up to protect Dizhong Village. Zhou Xiao accidentally triggered the taboo, and what he said was automatically blocked and taken back by the Challenger System.
But to Duan Xing, the words didn't make sense, and it was obvious that an important description was missing from this passage.
After asking several times in a row, the answer he got was always the same, and Duan Xing was completely confused.
"God of Wealth, are you not very smart? I think what I said is easy to understand. Do you need me to repeat it three times?"
Duan Xing looked at Zhou Xiao, who looked depressed, expressionlessly. He did not continue to ask questions, but asked curiously:
"The Emperor's Omen has resolved itself, and the four gods who once wanted to inherit the Emperor's Omen have all disappeared. Your persistence is meaningless, but your family has a better choice... Join the Anti-Tide Legion."
"What's good?"
"Join the Against Tide Corps. Your clan will be blessed by the Against Tide and will not be afraid of the invasion of the Black Tide. There will be countless Against Tide warriors protecting your clansmen. The best among you will even have the opportunity to become a soldier of the Against Tide Corps and acquire supreme power."
"Is there any tangible benefit, such as the purple soul ore in your hand?"
Broken Star: ...
Zhou Xiao’s answer left Duan Xing completely speechless.
He found that these guys who called themselves players kept saying that they believed in Emperor Omen, but in fact they only cared about interests and gains and losses, and the conversation was completely on a different channel.
Duan Xing couldn't help but sigh, then he took out a green information stone from his arm guard and handed it to Zhou Xiao:
"It's fate. This information stone records a set of basic combat skills of my Tianfu clan. The crystal energy inside can change your body structure and help you practice my clan's combat skills. I give it to you."
After Zhou Xiao took the information stone, Duan Xing turned into a stream of light and flew into the sky, leaving Zhou Xiao looking at the information stone in his hand with a puzzled look on his face.
