Chapter 207 The So-called Gods

I see... Judgment was not only a member of the Dragon Soaring Knights, but also a military commander of Fengyin State. In other words, he had a position on the payroll. Moreover, he was most likely assigned a mission such as retaking a mine. In other words, he could be considered to have died in the line of duty.

Watching the bodies of the convicted being carried into the cemetery behind the Martyrs' Shrine, Xiao Jie noticed that many of the names on those tombstones had obvious player characteristics. It seemed that the Dragon Knights had buried quite a few people here.

Xiao Jie had a vague guess in his mind that Qianlong Wu sent the corpse back so solemnly, it definitely was not just for such a superficial thing as a sense of ritual.

There must be something behind this.

Xiao Jie also saw Long Xing Tianxia, who came personally to preside over the funeral. In addition, there were several high-ranking members of the Long Xiang Knights.

After the funeral, Long Xingtian went to keep him and found an empty room to interview him.

In addition to him and Long Xing Tianxia, Qianlong Wuyong also followed.

"Brother Suifeng, I heard that you have done a good job in the Luoyang branch and have made many great contributions."

"It's okay. I'm just doing my job."

“Don’t be too modest. The four words ‘do your duty’ may seem simple, but how many people in this world can do that?
I guess you must be wondering why the funeral was held so solemnly, is it to win people's hearts or something like that?"

Xiao Jie looked at Qianlong Wuyong next to him, and then looked at Long Xingtianxia. It was obvious that he wanted to tell him something important.

He hurriedly said, "How could that be? President, even if you want to win people's hearts, you should do it in real life. What's the use of buying people in a game? I think there must be some special reason behind this, right?"

"Haha, Brother Suifeng is indeed a professional player. He has been a guild president and opened a studio. He is very sensitive to the details of the game."

Xiao Jie's heart skipped a beat, and he asked in a deep voice, "How do you know my identity?"

"Of course I asked Captain Lin. I'm sorry that I investigated your identity, but my Dragon Soaring Knights prefer to have fewer people than the wrong ones. Moreover, we are competing with several large guilds for territory during this period. There are some things that we must guard against. Naturally, we can't just recruit people casually. We must understand them. I have no ill intentions at all. You can rest assured, brother. We in the Dragon Soaring Knights are law-abiding citizens.

The reason why I kept Brother Suifeng here today is that I have something to tell you, which is about the grand plan of my Dragon Knights.

This matter is not a big secret, but the people who know it are not bad. Logically, I should not tell others casually, so brother, I solemnly ask you, can I trust you? "

"Of course." Xiao Jie became more and more curious.

Long Xing Tianxia laughed immediately after hearing this. "That's good. Then I'll tell you. In fact, my determination to unify Kyushu and become the king of Kyushu is not just to stop the game players from fighting among themselves. I also have my own selfish motives."

Xiao Jie thought to himself, I already knew this a long time ago, why should I talk about this?

However, I didn't expect the other party to say it so frankly. It seems that he really wants to treat me as his own, or he is trying to win me over.

"There are many benefits to becoming the King of Jiuzhou. You can obtain many special game permissions, one of which is to be deified."

Xiao Jie was shocked. "Fuck, is this true?"

Long Xing Tianxia said seriously: "Of course it is true. You have also read the background story of this game. The gods have fallen, the immortals have gone into seclusion, the old gods are dead, and the new gods have not yet appeared. The premise for the birth of new gods is that there must be a king of Jiuzhou. The king of Jiuzhou can confer 36 main gods and 72 deputy gods, enjoy incense and offerings, and become the guardian of the world of Jiuzhou.

Of course, these gods are not transcendent beings like the heavenly courts in the sky, but more like mountain gods, land gods, city gods, etc., and these gods must be chosen from among the dead, and living people cannot be deified. "

Xiao Jie couldn't believe it and asked, "How do you know this?"

"Of course I read it from books. There are many ancient books and materials in this game. The Fengyinzhou Library has detailed records of some ancient history. Among them, it records the history of the first generation of Dragon Emperor who unified the world and appointed 108 gods of all sizes to protect the land of Kyushu.

Now that Jiuzhou is falling apart, I just happened to get the task of fighting for Jiuzhou. As long as I seize Jiuzhou, I can become the new generation of Jiuzhou Lord, and in theory I will naturally have the authority to confer the title of God. "

Xiao Jie thought that this inference made some sense.

"I plan to deify all of my deceased brothers - of course, I will prioritize the core members."

Xiao Jie was shocked, this Long Xing Tian Xia really dared to dream, but since he could become an immortal, it might not be impossible for him to become a god.

He couldn't help but think of the river god Jiao Yuehua whom he had met before. Although that river god possessed some divine power, it was obviously not as good as the two immortals, but he was also very powerful.

However, these thirty-six main gods and seventy-two deputy gods do not sound very impressive. In Eastern mythology, they are all local gods. How are the gods in heaven counted?
There should be a heaven in this game, right? Otherwise, where did the heavenly soldiers and generals summoned by the Taoist priests come from?
"Why are you telling me this, President?"

"If Brother Suifeng is afraid of accidentally dying in the game, I can make an exception and give you a seat. Of course, the premise is that you are interested."

"Hahaha, then of course I'm interested. Having a chance to become a god is better than dying suddenly. But do the souls of those dead members still exist? If not, how can they be deified?"

"This...I think there should be one." Qianlong Wuyong on the side said uncertainly.

"Of course there is." Long Xingtianxia said with extraordinary certainty, "When I become the Lord of the Nine Provinces and am deified, all the brothers who died in the battle will be transformed into gods and reborn. At that time, we humans and gods will gather together and share wealth and honor. Wouldn't it be great?"

I have to say that Long Xingtianxia is quite capable of becoming the guild president. Just these words make people's blood boil, and even Xiao Jie is tempted.

Although it may seem like an empty promise, the logic behind the matter is sound and it may really work.

But he does have greater ambitions, like being deified, which always feels a bit weird.

Although gods and immortals sound like they are of the same level, I always feel that immortals are more free and easy. If the gods were the gods of heaven, it would be fine, but these 108 gods and vice gods seem to be just low-level priests and regional gods, so they are not that attractive.

Of course, Xiao Jie would not refuse this opportunity. What if he was unlucky and died one day? As long as there was a dragon traveling around the world, there would always be hope.

Moreover, Long Xingtianxia told him this obviously in order to win him over. If he refused at this time, it would be a bit ignorant.

"Hahaha, thank you very much for your kindness, President.

By the way, President, how much do you know about the heaven in this game? Can you give him a higher-level god? Instead of always dealing with mountain gods and land gods, it would be great to give him the Four Heavenly Kings and Nine Star Officials."

Long Xing Tianxia said speechlessly: "Brother, you are too flattering me. The Lord of the Nine Provinces has not even started yet, and you are already thinking of going to the Heaven. Even if there is a Heaven in this game, there must be something like the Jade Emperor. How can a mere human king be allowed to manage the affairs of the heaven? It would be good enough if he can be made a mountain god or a land god.

But speaking of it, the Heaven in this game seems to have never been shown to exist. I asked some NPCs, and they didn't seem to know about its existence at all. Currently, the only existence close to the Heaven is probably the immortals in Guoyunzhou. However, Guoyunzhou has fallen apart, and there has been no news about those immortals for a long time. Maybe they are all dead.

I have also asked some experts in the magic profession, but even they don’t know. "

Xiao Jie thought that those immortals were definitely not dead. When he was doing the mission with the two immortals, the conversation between the two immortals vaguely revealed that the immortals of Guoyun State were still there, but they were hiding.

If I gain the ability to fly in the future, I can go up and take a look.

But he didn't need to say this to Long Xingtianxia.

"Haha, I was just saying that. Thank you very much, President. It's not bad to be named a mountain god. By the way, President, will the guild send anyone to the ancient tomb? I'm afraid we can't be sure with just the people from the branch."

Long Xing Tianxia said: "The guild has been busy lately, and I'm afraid we can't spare any manpower for the time being. You can decide whether to open the tomb or put it aside for the time being. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait. When the time comes, I will dispatch a few magicians to support you, and it will be much simpler."

"understood."

After Xiao Jie and Qianlong Wuyong left, they felt closer to each other. Although they were not core members yet, they were more or less half of our own.

"Brother Qianlong, are you ready to open the tomb?"

"No, it's too dangerous. I've thought it over carefully. If we open it rashly, there is still a high chance of casualties. I don't want to see another case of Judgment. Although we have the Conferred God as a guarantee, no one knows whether our guild can eventually seize the world, so we still have to be careful."

Listening to Qianlongwu's heavy tone, Xiao Jie could understand his feelings. He had also been a president and commanded the development of a dungeon.

When everyone's hopes are placed on one person, the psychological pressure caused by command errors will be very great.

And that's just playing games. If you fail, you can just revive and start over. It's just a waste of everyone's time.

What Qianlong Wuyong is facing now is real casualties. A wrong decision may lead to the annihilation of the whole team or a large number of casualties. If it were someone who is irresponsible, he would naturally not care. It is all over after the fight. Anyone who is responsible will feel tremendous pressure.

"Okay, then I'll go level up on my own."

Xiao Jie understood Qianlong Wuyong's decision very well. However, after Qianlong Wuyong announced the decision in the group, some people were not happy about it, especially Xianyu, who participated in two events and only got a blue weapon. This was not acceptable.

At least I can learn some advanced skills.

Especially considering that the things in the ancient tomb must be of great value, he became particularly envious.

You have to know that the two spirit stone talismans used to open the door alone cost one or two million. According to common logic, the things in the ancient tomb must be several times more than this number.

Xianyu: President, there is no need to be so afraid. Everyone who plays this game is risking their lives. Is there any need to be so cautious?

Qianlong Wuyong: I don’t care whether others are willing to risk their lives or not, but as the branch president, I have to be responsible for my members. Opening the ancient tomb is too risky, so that’s the decision. After the guild has dealt with the current affairs, they will send people to support us, and then we will consider opening the ancient tomb.

Xianyu: Captain, you are wrong to do this. If the guild sends people, then all the good stuff will be shared among the guild members. What else can we, the branch members, leave behind?
Besides, the Sunset Plain is just a mid-to-early stage map, so how dangerous can the ancient tomb be?

Qianlongwuyong: It’s settled. If you want to go, you can go on your own.

Xianyu: Damn it, I’ll just do it on my own. I’ll gather some people to open the tomb myself. Don’t be jealous when I find something good.

Xiao Jie originally thought that Xianyu was just speaking in anger, but he didn't expect that a few minutes later, his QQ would ring.

It’s a private message from Xianyu.

Xianyu: Brother Suifeng, please join the group and discuss something with me.

Xiao Jie had some vague guesses in his mind, but rationally he felt that it was unlikely. Could this guy be so crazy?
After entering the group, I sighed as I saw the group members. This guy really thought so.

There are more than 30 people in the group, all of whom are peripheral members of the Luoyang Branch of the Dragon Knights. The administrators are Xianyu and Deidara.

System: You have been granted administrator status.

Well, now he is too.

Xianyu: Brothers, I think everyone knows what happened this morning. We found an ancient tomb deep in the mine, and on it there is a seal left by an ancient immortal. I don’t need to say how many good things are in it. Are you interested in making a big splash?
