Chapter 162: The Road to Empire, the Road to Gods

Sitting on the throne, Su Xingyu supported his cheek with his right hand and looked forward with a deep gaze, as if he could see through the divine space and see the dark void outside.

He is thinking...

Think about the next path.

The path of the Eternal Night Empire, and his own path.

After finishing the regional qualifying competition and being promoted to the intermediate realm, to be honest, Su Xingyu was a little confused for a while.

Yes, confused.

Don’t know what to do next or what your goal is?
In the past, when he was first pulled into this mysterious world in the Elementary Realm, he just struggled to stay alive; then after unifying the Red River region and "connecting" with other players, he began to struggle not to be beaten to death by other players, and then there were two qualifying matches...

It can be said that since coming to this world, the system has arranged the goals of all players.

Now, after being promoted to the intermediate realm and the system having no new "arrangements", Su Xingyu was a little uncomfortable with it for a while.

"Ha ha……"

He suddenly chuckled and said self-deprecatingly:
"People are really strange. When they are busy, they always try their best to squeeze out time to relax. But when they are free, they don't know what to do."

Sitting quietly on the throne, he thought for a while, and a smile appeared on his face.

He stretched out his left hand forward and a table appeared in front of him. With his chin supported by his left hand and a pen held in his right hand, he began to write and draw, stopping from time to time to stare blankly.

In this way, working in a half-hearted state, it took him a long time to come up with a development route that was barely acceptable.

Without the system's "urging", Su Xingyu, as one of the top players, did not feel much sense of crisis.

what?
You said void disaster!

Su Xingyu never thought that the void disaster could threaten him, he just thought it was too troublesome.

What he hated most was trouble, especially this kind of trouble that was everywhere and could come at any time.

The territory of the empire is too large, and even with Su Xingyu's strength, it is impossible to take care of it.

Under normal circumstances, Su Xingyu would take the initiative to solve the problem before it comes.

But the problem now is that he does not have the strength to take the initiative to attack.

Within the plane, he is now fearless of any opponent, especially within the empire.

Good at defense, but not enough at offense.

Therefore, following this line of thought, he summarized the development routes in two directions.

Still getting stronger.

The empire must become stronger, and He must also become stronger.

The direction of the empire's becoming stronger is also very clear. After all, the system has shown it to him.

Su Xingyu, who had witnessed the combat effectiveness of the seventh-order legion, knew very well that no matter how many sixth-order legions there were, they could not compare to the seventh-order legions.

The seventh-level legion is the real trump card that can serve as the cornerstone of the empire.

It is no exaggeration to say that a seventh-level legion can protect the empire's foundation for three hundred years.

Why is it three hundred years, and not four hundred years or five hundred years?
Because of the existence of the seventh-level epic realm, the lifespan is three hundred years.

Therefore, the next goal of the Eternal Night Empire is very clear, which is to create several seventh-level legions.

Compared with the seventh-level legion, all the epic equipment and legendary magic cannons are garbage.

External things are ultimately unreliable, you have to be strong yourself.

It has to be said that the seventh-level wolf cavalry legion left a deep impression on Su Xingyu.

Even though the Eternal Night Legion had all the advantages of time, place and people, it was eventually defeated by a Wolf Rider Legion without any special features. Even the strongest Eternal Night Paladin went into self-destruction mode, and only managed to achieve an exchange ratio of 1.8:1.

In the end, it was only with the help of a large army that they were successfully surrounded and killed.

The seventh-level legion, if used well, has the ability to surround and kill demigods.

Because of this, it is very difficult to create a seventh-level legion.

It can even be said that training a demigod is not as difficult as training a seventh-level legion.

After all, a demigod is only powerful as an individual. As long as the number of followers is large enough, some gifted guys can always be selected. Although becoming a demigod is difficult, it is still feasible.

As for the seventh-level legion, it is an entire legion of 10,000 people. Even if every soldier does not need to reach the seventh level, according to Su Xingyu's estimation, half of them must be there, otherwise the overall combat power will not be able to be classified as seventh-level.

Even if only half is needed, that would be 5,000 level 7 warriors.

Even though they all believed in the dark gods, forming a legion would be relatively easy, but the five thousand level seven warriors alone were enough to give Su Xingyu a headache.

After all, it was impossible for him to use all the high-level warriors to form a seventh-level legion.

Otherwise, if the backbone members are withdrawn, the other legions will be directly destroyed.

Therefore, Su Xingyu also had a general idea about how to create a seventh-level legion.

In other words, he already had the idea, otherwise he would not have chosen [Rule Instrument·Heavenly Monument].

For ordinary practitioners to break through to the seventh level, the first thing they need is aptitude and a little insight.

First, practice to the peak of the sixth level, and then wait for the opportunity to come, and you can directly break through to the seventh level. This is the normal practice route for warriors.

In the Eternal Night Empire, most of the seventh-level people broke through in this way.

This breakthrough method is full of randomness and uncontrollable, so Su Xingyu doesn't like it very much.

So he thought of another way, which was to accumulate.

There is a huge gap between the sixth level and the seventh level. Before and after the breakthrough, they are completely not on the same level.

In that case, let’s narrow the gap between level six and level seven.

If you can't reach the top in one step, then push forward slowly, constantly strengthen and accumulate your physical strength, blood, and mental will, until you reach the strength of the seventh level.

The newborns born in the Eternal Night Empire today have much stronger aptitude than before. As long as they are trained properly, there will be no problem in cultivating to the sixth level.

If during this process, he uses Qi and blood potions to strengthen his body, then enters the [Blood Spirit Baptism Pool] to purify his body, and finally practices the [Holy Body] that Su Xingyu bought from the ranking mall for 50 million points.

After such a series of operations, you can definitely reach the seventh-level physical standard.

As for spiritual will, this can be honed through [Vessary of Rules·Transcendence of Will].

This is a steady path to reach the seventh level.

You don’t need opportunities, or even brains. Just follow the steps and when you get to the end, you will reach the seventh-level epic realm.

As for the consumption...

It’s better not to mention this.

Relying on accumulation to forcibly advance to the seventh-level legion, this is the method Su Xingyu thought of. Although it is simple and crude, it must be said that this is a very feasible plan.

The only drawback may be that it consumes too much energy.

But compared with the seventh-level legion, these mere resources are nothing. No matter how much it consumes, we must continue.

Besides, resources are meant to be used!
For a long time in the future, the focus of the Eternal Night Empire will be to serve the birth of the Seventh Order Legion, and all other matters will have to take a back seat. After talking about the empire, let's talk about Su Xingyu's own path.

The goal of all players is undoubtedly to become a god, a true god that is immortal and lives forever.

Now, his divine body, in terms of strength, has surpassed the ninth-level holy realm, which has also led to his divine incarnation reaching the ninth level.

It can be said that He is far ahead of others.

However, due to the lack of something, He did not enter the realm of demigod - His combat power should have been reached, but his realm was not.

Therefore, He also set two goals for himself. The long-term goal is to become a god, and the short-term goal is to become a demigod.

Becoming a demigod is not particularly difficult, especially for players like them.

Godhead, authority, divine fire, divine body.

When they first entered this world, the system had already prepared godhood and authority for them, and a small flame of the divine fire had also been lit, and all that was left was to condense a divine body.

It can be said that the only thing between them and the true God is to completely ignite the divine fire and condense the divine body.

This is also the reason why Su Xingyu felt a long time ago that becoming a god was not difficult.

As for becoming a demigod, that's even easier.

There are two standards for entering the realm of demigod. The first is divinity. The original divinity needs to reach nine points, and at least one authority divinity needs to reach five points.

Five points of authority divinity, this is the minimum standard for consolidating the priesthood.

The second is to condense the divine body, to condense a divine body that is highly compatible with authority.

Combining a priesthood and possessing a divine body is called a demigod.

For Su Xingyu, who has a huge number of believers, it is not difficult to condense divinity. Now he has condensed six points of his original divinity, and the divinity of the Eternal Night Authority has also reached five points.

If he only wanted to become an ordinary demigod, at his current speed, and devoted himself to cultivation, he would be able to enter the demigod realm in about three years.

Of course, if you have bigger ambitions and want a smoother future, you will have to work harder.

Concentrating and integrating a single divine duty is a demigod.

Condensing and integrating the five divine duties, this is also a demigod.

Both are demigods, but the latter can smash the former into pieces with one punch. This is the difference.

Different methods of promotion lead to an outrageous gap in strength between people of the same level.

As for which one to choose?

As long as there is nothing wrong with your brain, you will choose the latter.

Demigod is just a short-term goal, not a lifelong goal. Let’s not talk about how far we can look, just take one step further.

True God.

Could it be that anyone thinks that a demigod promoted by the lowest standard and a demigod promoted by the highest standard have the same potential?
This is like laying the foundation for building a building. The better the standard, the more solid the foundation.

If the foundation is solid, there won’t be so many concerns when building the building. You can just build it up.

If the foundation is not solid, you will have to consider many issues. Not to mention the speed, whether it can be built is a problem. Even if it is built by chance, it is just a small house, which cannot be compared with a skyscraper.

Therefore, there is no need to think about how deep your foundation can be before you enter the demigod level.

But no matter which one Su Xingyu chooses, there will be no threshold for him to reach the demigod realm.

The only thing you need to consider is probably the consumption of time.

But does the present time really have meaning for him?
Up to 1:360 time flow ratio.

With a life span that is almost eternal, time is meaningless to him.

And now there is no other "thing" chasing him, so he doesn't need to rush at all, he can just take his time and it will be done.

After planning two short-term goals, Su Xingyu suddenly felt his mind clear and his hope for the future was rekindled.

However, planning the goal is only the first step. How to implement it and achieve it is the key.

Since I have decided to concentrate on cultivation, I must not be disturbed by the affairs of the empire.

Therefore, it is time to give up the identity of the Imperial Archon.

Fortunately, he had started to intentionally delegate power a long time ago, and avoided making suggestions if possible, allowing the entire empire's management to grow effectively.

Even without him now, the empire can continue to develop smoothly.

……

"What! Patriarch, what are you going to do? You can't do this. The empire cannot do without you, and the people of the empire cannot lose your leadership!" After hearing Su Xingyu's idea of ​​resigning as consul, the Eternal Night Empire's second-in-command, Deputy Consul Ye San, was stunned and quickly voiced his objection.

After Su Xingyu's deliberate training, Ye San has now been promoted to the seventh-level epic realm.

Compared to his indifference back then, he is much more mature now, at least he doesn’t look at people with a cold face all the time.

"Yes, Patriarch, if you don't become the consul, who will be? If you really feel tired, we will give you a long vacation. You can go around the empire, appreciate the scenery of the empire, and relax." The financial officer Barros also spoke hurriedly.

What a joke, if you don’t become the consul, who will?

Ye San, or me?

Barros knew very well that although Su Xingyu, as the consul, did not take charge of things, the Eternal Night Empire really could not do without him.

Even if he did nothing, just wandered around every day, and sat in the first seat in a daze during the meeting of the Council of Elders.

But I can’t live without her. I just can’t live without her.

Some characters can make the entire force feel at ease just by sitting there as mascots.

"What are you talking about? It won't matter who is missing from the empire. Besides, this is the order of our Lord. Do you want to go against the will of our Lord?" Su Xingyu was speechless. Seeing how resistant they were, he could only bring up his status as a god.

This trick has worked for him time and time again.

"Don't dare."

"Don't dare."

Everyone spoke up immediately.

"Okay, don't look so miserable. I'm not dead. I just changed my identity. Being a high priest in the temple is really suitable for me. It's an easy job, and I can serve the king. It's very good."

Seeing this, Su Xingyu smiled again, eased the atmosphere, and said jokingly: "If you retire one day, you can also come there to find me, and I will arrange a good position for you."

"Okay." Although they looked reluctant, Su Xingyu even brought up the title of king, so everyone had no choice but to agree.

Ye San then said:
"Patriarch, you want to abdicate, and we agree to that. But have you found a successor? The empire cannot be without a consul, otherwise there will be chaos."

"Also, although we agree, you still need to stay in this position for a while..."

The change of consul is undoubtedly a huge shock to the people of the empire, and they must be adequately prepared.

"can."

Su Xingyu nodded and agreed readily.
