Chapter 256 The Empire's Arrangements
Dark Mountain.
The mountains are towering and reaching into the sky, exuding a wild and ancient aura, like an ancient divine pillar supporting the sky, sitting on this vast land.
At the foot of the mountain is an ancient forest. Influenced by the energy overflowing from the sacred mountain, various plants in this forest are able to thrive. The vegetation is extremely lush, and the trees are tall and dense, with branches and leaves covering the sky, making it difficult for even sunlight to penetrate.
The sacred mountain is surrounded by fog all year round, filled with a strong dark atmosphere, like an endless abyss, silent and terrifying, wantonly devouring the light and life from the surrounding area.
There live many powerful beasts and the "fallen ones" who have not been blessed by the gods. It is extremely dangerous. Even the people of Eternal Night who are protected by the Lord of Darkness dare not step in here casually.
On the top of the mountain, there is a magnificent temple. The temple faces north, which is the direction of the city. The temple is like the eyes of God, always paying attention to its people.
The Temple of Eternal Night, located in the deepest room.
The Pope, dressed in black cassock, is studying theology. As the spokesperson of the dark gods on earth, he possesses supreme power, and can even be said to be second only to one person and above hundreds of millions of people.
Everything in the world is at his disposal.
Whether it is wealth, beauty, power, or status, as long as he wants it, someone will give it to him.
The dark gods do not impose many restrictions on their believers, nor do they require them to be as honest as saints, so in theory, even the Pope can marry and have children.
They can even treat being the Pope as a job. As long as they complete their tasks, no one will care about their private lives in their daily lives.
However, all the popes in history were relatively "clean". I don't know whether it was influenced by the character of the gods or they were just like that. After becoming popes, they all became relatively indifferent.
He focused all his attention on studying theology, and constantly improved the classics about the dark gods, so that the believers of the dark gods could feel the greatness of the gods more intuitively.
The same is true for the contemporary Pope of Eternal Night Virgil. Unless there are matters that he must deal with, he spends most of his day studying theology.
"Virgil."
An indifferent voice appeared directly in Virgil's mind.
Virgil was stunned at first, then immediately stood up and looked at the statue of the god not far away.
The majestic statue of the god had black light shining from its eyes, as if it had come completely alive.
"Virgil pays respect to my Lord!"
Virgil quickly straightened his robes, unable to hide his excitement, and knelt down respectfully, "Your humble servant Virgil greets you. May the glory of the most holy and great God always shine on this starry sky."
Even though Virgil's strength had reached that of a high-level demigod, at this moment he was still like a mortal, crawling on the ground to show his loyalty to the gods.
"."
Su Xingyu was silent for a while until Virgil finished speaking. The statue's eyes shot out a dark light, which then transmitted the information to his mind.
"Do what you can, don't force it, and take your own life as the most important thing."
After passing the information about the revival of the ancient ruins to Virgil, Su Xingyu immediately withdrew his gaze from it, and the statue of the god regained its calm again.
"Best farewell to my lord."
Virgil shouted loudly, remained kneeling for a while, and then slowly stood up.
His mental power was very strong, and the oracle did not contain much information, so it didn't take long for Virgil to figure things out.
"Resurrection of the Ancient Ruins of the Age of Gods"
“I don’t know if we can make any profit from this.”
Virgil's expression changed slightly. This matter was too big. Even though he was the Pope of the Temple, he could not make a direct decision.
Soon, Virgil summoned powerful demigods from all over the planes through the special channels of the temple.
Within a few hours, dozens of figures appeared in the temple, either in real body or as spiritual projections. They were all top-notch masters in the demigod realm.
"Your Highness, the Pope, why have you summoned us here?" Looking at the circle of demigod warriors nearby, everyone felt a little nervous and confused.
What big deal was going on? Except for some special guys, all the demigods in the entire empire were called here!
You know, even when the Eternal Night Plane was promoted and began to expand its territory, it did not summon so many powerful demigods.
"My Lord has sent down an oracle."
Virgil didn't say any polite words and went straight to the point. As soon as everyone heard the beginning, they immediately stood up straight.
"The ancient ruins from the Age of Gods are beginning to revive, and countless treasures and relics are flowing out of them." Virgil told everyone the contents of the oracle and asked them to decide together what to do next.
First of all, participation is a must. The revival of ancient ruins will bring countless opportunities. No one wants to miss this chance, especially those of them who are at the demigod level.
After reaching the realm of demigod, the empire's help to them is now very limited. If they want to go further, they can only rely on themselves.
"The remains of the gods!"
"What the hell, what are you waiting for? This is a relic of the gods. Let's go quickly. If we go too late, it might be snatched away."
"It's been a long time since I had a good fight, hehehe"
Hearing this, everyone became extremely excited and eager to fly to the ancient ruins immediately.
"quiet!"
Ye Zhan, who was standing at the front, frowned slightly and stepped lightly on the floor. Everyone immediately quieted down, as if they were elementary school students meeting their teacher.
In the Eternal Night Empire, Ye Zhan is still extremely majestic, not only because of his strong strength, but also because of his identity.
The leader of the Eternal Night Paladins, the most powerful army in the empire, the first warrior in the Eternal Night Empire, a person blessed by the gods, and the original tribesman
Long before the gods brought down their glory, Ye Zhan was a top-notch warrior in the tribe. Afterwards, he followed the gods and led the Eternal Night Legion to fight in the south and the north, defeating powerful forces one after another and making the empire have the glory it has today.
He himself is deeply loved by the gods, who have bestowed upon him many divine blessings, allowing him to transform from a 'mortal' born in the ordinary world to where he is today after several transformations.
It’s hard to say about others, but at least most of the people in the headquarters of the Eternal Night Empire grew up watching the legendary stories of night battles.
Even though they were promoted to demigods and were on the same level, they still respected this big brother. "Can I say a few words?" The middle-aged man standing in the front, wearing a crown and gorgeous clothes, spoke.
Ye Zhan turned around and saw that it was Archon Ulysses, so he said politely, "Please speak."
Ulysses paused and said:
"Everyone, whether it's for His Majesty the God, for the Eternal Night Empire, or for ourselves, we can't miss this feast. The road to becoming stronger is like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind. If we want to maintain our advantage, we must keep moving forward and seize every opportunity to become stronger."
"But we can't just ignore everything and go like this. According to your majesty's oracle, the revival of the divine ruins this time involves the entire void realm. I don't need to say how many powerful people will come by then."
"The revival of the divine relics this time is a rare feast, but it is also a crisis. Everyone may die, even demigods are no exception."
When it comes to battles involving the void, those who can participate are at least at the ninth level of the Holy Domain.
On such a battlefield, even a demigod at the pinnacle of the plane can only gain a slight foothold. If a war really breaks out, it is possible that he will fall.
"Fight for my Lord until death!"
"It's just death, why should I be afraid?"
"At worst, I can return to the divine realm and serve my Lord."
Upon hearing this, everyone present suddenly showed fanatical expressions on their faces, and shouted loudly like those fanatics.
"If Your Excellency the Archon is worried, why don't you stay and preside over the affairs of the empire, and we will go over there." An alien demigod looked at Ulysses and said.
"Dalka, how outrageous!" Upon hearing this, Ye Zhan's face suddenly changed and he shouted.
"It's okay, it's okay. Commander Ye Zhan, there's no need to be like this."
Upon seeing this, Ulysses quickly stopped Ye Zhan, then looked at the demigod and said with a smile: "Although I really want to go, I should stay in the Eternal Night Empire for this banquet as you said."
Everyone was a little surprised, obviously not expecting Ulysses to say that.
Ulysses continued, "You are all my lord's bravest warriors. I know you are not afraid of death. I am not afraid of death either. If I were afraid of death, I would not have come this far." Except for a very small number of gifted people, those who can become demigods have all experienced the hardships of life and death. For such beings, death is not enough to scare them.
When Ulysses was young, he led legions across the battlefield and personally fought with the enemy at night. There were countless scenes of his armor being stained with blood.
Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, Ulysses explained: "Everyone, I hope you remember that your life does not only belong to you, but also to our Lord and the Eternal Night Empire. So even if you are not afraid of death, you cannot die casually. Your death will have an impact on our Lord and will also cause turmoil in the entire empire."
Today, the Eternal Night Empire is vast and powerful, with an unimaginable number of powerful people among other players. But even so, demigods are still rare and are extremely precious strategic units.
Having been in charge of the empire for many years, Ulysses is very familiar with the situation of the entire Eternal Night Empire.
The vast territory of the empire requires not only the suppression of the legion, but also the suppression of demigods.
If this group of powerful men suffer heavy casualties, the Eternal Night Empire will be in turmoil, which he cannot accept.
Presumably, this is something that His Majesty the God does not want to see.
"Before His Majesty returned to the divine realm, he also told us to do things within our capabilities and not to force ourselves, and to put our lives first." Seeing this, Pope Virgil also spoke up.
Hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.
"In that case, let's listen to the consul's arrangements. We can participate, but we can't just ignore everything and rush over to grab the things." Ye Zhan was the first to express his opinion.
Soon, other human demigods also spoke up and agreed with Ulysses' point of view.
Seeing that everyone else agreed, the demigods of various races whose minds were more confused naturally nodded in agreement.
"Time is of the essence, so I won't be polite to you."
Ulysses didn't bother to be polite with them. "The first is the issue of staying behind. Although there are top legions watching over us, we can't be without top warriors, so someone must stay in the Eternal Night Plane. I thought about it and decided that at least five demigods must stay in the Eternal Night Plane to prevent other alien gods from taking advantage of the situation and invading."
"Also, although ordinary legions can't help in the void, we can mobilize war fortresses to cooperate with the magic demigods."
".It is best not to go to the same ruins at the same time, so as not to attract siege from other alien gods. Divide into several teams, and..."
"Don't worry about the Eternal Night Empire. I will arrange everything."
Ulysses had very clear ideas and quickly came up with a more reliable plan. After listening to it, everyone expressed their agreement.
"Finally, remember that your life is the most important. Your life belongs to His Majesty Yongye and the Empire. Don't give it up lightly."
In the dark divine realm.
"Not bad. It didn't go to my head."
Listening to Ulysses' arrangements, Su Xingyu was very satisfied. This consul's abilities and character were both excellent.
Ulysses was not wrong. To the gods, believers are very important, and their lives do not belong to themselves alone.
The foundation of the gods lies in faith, and faith comes from believers.
As for the demigod believers, especially those who have been trained along the way and are absolutely loyal, it is no exaggeration to say that they are the right-hand man and left-hand man of the gods.
In the future, these believers will be qualified to become gods and stand on both sides of the temple of gods.
Let’s put it this way, if all the god players are asked to choose between a demigod believer and a real artifact, most of the god players will choose a demigod believer.
"Since everything has been arranged, then my preparation can be regarded as a trump card." Su Xingyu naturally could not just leave these important believers alone. He still had to make the necessary preparations. Not to mention helping them defeat their opponents, at least there would be no problem in saving their lives.
If nothing unexpected
Leaving behind a sleeping incarnation to guard the plane, Su Xingyu left the divine realm, left the eternal night plane, and came to the void.
"Hopefully I'll meet some interesting guys."
Looking into the depths of the void, Su Xingyu's eyes flickered and a strange smile appeared on his face. Then he tore open the space and directly entered the subspace, traveling at an extremely fast speed.
After the resurrection of the gods' ruins, the void around them no longer allows the system to open a teleportation gate. If you want to go through, you can only rely on your own strength.
Either travel directly through the void, or tear open space and enter the dangerous subspace.
