Chapter 118: God's personal expedition! I am the Way of Heaven!
"The era of gods is over, but the world still needs heroes." Xu Mu stared at Pythagoras and spoke seriously word by word.
The moment he finished speaking.
Pythagoras's drooping eyelids couldn't help but tremble! His pupils also shone with an incredible luster!
This short sentence even sounds intriguing to outsiders.
But to Pythagoras it sounded like thunder, and every word was precious.
He stared at Xu Mu for a long time, and a look of approval slowly appeared in his eyes.
"You are the most profound person I have ever met in the past hundred years."
"Perhaps, this scepter will shine even brighter in your hands."
"You are more qualified than me to protect this pure land and open the door to a new world for mankind at the right time. Come, this is your inheritance!" Pythagoras handed the scepter in his hand to Xu Mu.
To Xu Mu, he only said one sentence.
But for Pythagoras.
He waited for these words for a century.
From the moment Pythagoras took the scepter from the first oracle Hermes, a new world appeared before him in a unique way.
As the keeper of the scepter, he had the power to enter and leave Atlantis at will.
From that prosperous treasure house, we also got a glimpse of the concept of "number" mentioned in that prehistoric civilization.
However, due to his limited talent, he was unable to understand more advanced knowledge of prehistoric civilizations such as 'theory of relativity' and 'quantum mechanics'.
Not only did I gain a wealth of knowledge from it.
In this lost ancient civilization, Pythagoras also learned about the past and present of the entire Isu civilization.
Millions of years ago, this planet was in chaos.
The Isu people were born. They possessed extremely intelligent minds and strong bodies as strong as mountains.
Civilization changed rapidly in their hands, and the power of science and technology was advancing with each passing day.
It was not until after they conquered the entire planet that the Isu discovered that their technology had reached a bottleneck and that they could not break through the shackles of the sea of stars no matter what.
Thus, the Isu also transformed the goal of conquering the universe into internal consumption that prioritizes entertainment.
Start thinking about how to make your short life more relaxed and comfortable.
Among the Isu scientists, there was one who proposed the concept of bionic Isu.
"We only need to extract some of our genetic cells to create countless 'Isu-like people'. They can help us complete most of the work in this world. We just need to spend our lives enjoying ourselves." said the scientist.
Although some in the Isu community were opposed, the vast majority of the Isu believed that this was a liberating proposal.
Thus, the project of imitating the Isu people began in full swing.
In order to cater to one's own preferences and to make it look more pleasing to the eye.
The Isu people created these people based on their own appearance and body shape.
Also, considering the possibility of a rebellion, to prevent these "Isu-like people" from taking control of the planet.
So when creating them, the Isu people deliberately removed a part of the powerful genetic chain in the DNA.
Their power was reduced to one ten-thousandth, their intelligence was extremely dull, and they could only work with the simplest tools. They could not understand the changes in the world, could not control the power of the elements, and even the ordinary task of making fire was difficult to do.
Only a few who are favored by the Isu can occasionally obtain oracles and live in the world as "fire bearers", bringing hope and light to this group of "quasi-Isu".
In addition, the Isu people also need to weaken the vitality of these guys, so that they will not gather together in large numbers as much as possible, and only allow them to survive as "tribes".
At the same time, they are troubled by food all day long and cannot spare the time to ponder the mysteries and changes of all things in this world.
Under layers of constraints, this stupid and powerless group could no longer resist the extremely powerful Isu.
Finally, for the convenience of calling.
The Isu people gave this group of "quasi-Isu" a collective name - human beings.
The Isu people regarded themselves as gods.
Different regions have different gods.
Whether it is the Western Isu race Zeus Poseidon, etc., or the Eastern Isu civilization Pangu Nuwa.
They are all called gods by humans.
They are extremely pious to God and absolutely obedient.
While maintaining the minimum level of operation (eating food), they would also collect many different kinds of tributes from all over the world and hand them over to the Isu people in the form of "sacrifice".
This is just as the Isu people expected.
Relying on humans, they effortlessly created a paradise where people have no worries about food and clothing, which is also called the Garden of Eden.
Go further and further on the road of entertainment to death.
After the Isu realized that this path was feasible, they began to strengthen their control over humans in order to achieve eternal peace for themselves.
In their own Garden of Eden, they used technology to create a continuously growing apple tree that regularly produced golden apples, an Isu artifact that could control the human mind.
Using this artifact, humans can believe in God unconditionally and always put respect for God first no matter what happens.
But the good times did not last long.
After thousands of years of rule, more and more Isu people traveled around the world, fell in love with humans, and had offspring.
These Isu-human hybrids are born different from ordinary people. They have the blood and talents of the Isu people, and have inherited the human qualities of hard work, bravery and tenacity.
They dare to do things that go against the gods, plunder the gods' treasure trove of knowledge, and seek more benefits for the human community.
Thus, humans, who inherited knowledge from the gods, began to move the wheel of civilization forward, developing from primitive civilization to stone civilization, and then gradually turning to iron civilization.
These brave Iranian hybrids are also called "pioneers" by humans.
One of the most representative events was when two forerunner couples, Adam and Eve, sneaked into the Garden of Eden, stole the golden apple, and lifted the golden apple's control over the human mind.
It liberated the human beings in Western Europe who had been enslaved for thousands of years.
And the same thing is happening in the ancient East.
Jiang Ziya, a pioneer of the Eastern Isu hybrid, first proposed the concept of deification, assisted the Duke of Zhou in defeating the then god-servant King Zhou, abolished the custom of "sacrificing" to the gods, and led mankind into a new era.
As time went on, more and more humans who had no Forerunner blood volunteered to join in, and worked together to overthrow the control of theocracy, and established Forerunner Alliances around the world.
But considering that the alliance's manpower is gradually being replaced by humans.
The leader of the Forerunner Alliance changed the name of the alliance to 'Assassin's League'
The word "assassin" does not represent a specific person or thing, but refers to a group of people who have the same ideals and goals and come together to promote the progress of human civilization.
It could be Darius who assassinated Xerxes, it could be Dante who restored the Renaissance, it could be Altaïr, it could be Tesla, it could be Einstein, it could be all those who lead mankind towards progress.
An assassin is never a specific person.
It is a revolutionary spirit that aims to overthrow the Isu theocracy and lead human progress, and has set off various waves of revolution around the world.
Whether it is from the Eastern Conferred God Church.
Or the Knights Templar in the Middle East.
and the Cult of Kosmos, which spread across mainland Greece.
These forces were originally branches of assassins from all over the world that evolved from the original Assassin's League.
The original doctrine of the Church of Order, located on the Greek mainland, was to overthrow theocracy and lead mankind toward the path of freedom and peace.
However, as the scale of the cult expanded, internal conflicts became fierce, and eventually the Radical Party gained control of the cult and abandoned its original ideas.
It was proposed to use the divine power item (golden apple) to suppress humans in order to achieve a certain degree of peace.
But this practice is no different from that of the prehistoric Isu civilization, and everything seems to have returned to the starting point.
Overthrow theocracy and embrace peace. This is the core spirit throughout the entire Assassin's Creed series.
Xu Mu's answer was 'The era of Gods has ended, but the world still needs more heroes (assassins)'.
It is a summary and generalization of the deeds of the entire Assassin's League.
Only players who have truly experienced most of the "Assassin's Creed" series can answer this question.
Of course, for the players on Blue Star, just one copy of "Assassin's Odyssey", even if they turned the entire copy upside down and searched for all the clues, still could not answer Pythagoras' question.
Because if you only play this game, you will definitely not understand what the inheritance of the assassin spirit means.
"I hope you can pass on this spirit forever." Pythagoras looked at Xu Mu with approval and handed over the scepter in his hand.
An old hand handed the scepter, which symbolized the key of knowledge, to another young hand.
This is also a heritage.
"The soul of an assassin is immortal and the torch will be passed on forever." Xu Mu answered seriously and took the double snake staff in his hand.
The moment Pythagoras handed over the staff, his life also came to an end.
This rotten body, which should have returned to dust long ago, now disappeared into ashes like burnt out embers.
In an instant, it disappeared into thin air.
In the entire Atlantis heritage hall, there was only a young man in a white robe holding a staff standing there.
Xu Mu looked at the properties of the ancient staff in his hand.
[Staff of Hermes' Wisdom]
Quality: Isu Artifact
Attack: None
Defense: None
HP: None
Special entry 1: The holder becomes a god and is immortal.
Special entry 2: The holder can use this artifact to open the treasure house of the ancient ruins of Atlantis.
…
Moving his eyes away from the attribute panel of the artifact, Xu Mu tapped the ground lightly with the staff.
“——boom——!”
Soon, not far in front of Xu Mu, several finely carved stone pillars rose from the ground, causing violent tremors!
On the other four secondary stone pillars, Xu Mu saw countless legendary suits lined up.
After collecting them one by one, Xu Mu took these dozens of legendary suits and hundreds of legendary weapons and slowly walked to the stone pillar in the center where the virtual data of countless prehistoric civilizations flowed.
Offer all legendary equipment in your backpack.
As his thoughts turned, he tapped the staff lightly.
Choose to combine them all!
Not long after, a powerful reminder sound exploded in Xu Mu's mind.

…
After putting on a complete set of Isu artifacts, Xu Mu slowly took out the broken spear in his hand and held it upside down in his hand.
He walked towards the gate of Atlantis with steady steps, a hint of coldness in his determined eyes.
"It's time to end this."
————
"Damn it!! Did this guy really unlock the hidden map?" Inside the Cult of Order, Mu Luo slapped the chair hard and cursed with gritted teeth.
Members of the Cult of Order in the entire hall.
No one dared to answer, and they all lowered their heads.
From the oracle just sent by the quasi-god, Mu Luo learned that there is an ancient relic on the Greek continent - Atlantis.
Rumor has it that there are countless treasures here, and countless legendary sets, you can take as many as you want.
As long as she can open the permission of this hidden map, she can make all 2,000 players in the copy fully armed and equipped with legendary suits!
By then, dealing with Xu Mu would be a piece of cake.
But when she went to Atlantis in person.
But he was blocked outside the door by an invisible force.
An old voice came from inside, asking her, "How can you confirm that you are the one who inherits the throne?"
Mu Luo naturally didn't know that she came to this copy not for adventure, but just to complete the task given by the quasi-god.
Therefore, Mu Luo passed this description back to the quasi-god intactly.
But after a while, he got a negative response from the quasi-god.
The quasi-god stated in the oracle that this hidden map should be just a decoration. He explored the clues in the entire "Odyssey" copy but could not find the answer.
Mu Luo felt relieved after hearing that.
A terrain that even a quasi-god cannot explore means that it is impossible for anyone in the entire instance to unlock it.
It should just be a decoration.
But not long after, when she used the oracle to locate Xu Mu's coordinates again.
But I got a surprising answer.
This guy is in Atlantis right now!
When Mu Luo received this message, her eyes widened and her face was full of disbelief.
He entered a place that even quasi-gods couldn't enter? ?
How is this done???
The quasi-god has the potential to detect clues in the dungeon!
Could it be that this kid is more ferocious than the quasi-god?
No...Impossible!
If you can't find any clues even if you searched through the entire copy, no matter how powerful you are, you will never know the ultimate answer to unlock the treasure house of Atlantis.
Therefore, Mu Luo was certain that Xu Mu had entered Atlantis through some unorthodox method.
But it is just entry and cannot open the treasure house of Atlantis.
After calming down a little, Mu Luo slowly curled her lips and chuckled.
I was so anxious and angry just now that I overlooked an important thing.
That guy A God was originally wandering around without a fixed place, running around everywhere in the dungeon world, so it was really difficult for me to target him.
We probably sent too few people, for fear of giving him a head. After all, this guy is quite strong and should not be underestimated.
But if too many people are sent out, their morale will be easily damaged if they fail many times.
It would be difficult to deal with if these ordinary players finally thought that you were playing tricks on them.
But right now, isn’t this the best opportunity?
He has been in Atlantis for half an hour and there is no sign of him coming out.
Atlantis was located on a small island.
At this time, all we need to do is let all the dungeon players and all the manpower of the Cult of Order, including the subordinate soldiers of these NPCs, go to this small island and surround the entire island!
Stage a unique game of catching turtles in a jar!
As soon as he came out, he would face a violent storm of attacks from countless people! Enemies were everywhere, with nowhere to escape!
Even if he had a legendary suit, he couldn't withstand the simultaneous attack of nearly ten thousand people!
Just shooting arrows can reduce his health to death!
What's more, there is a group of assassin players roaming outside the battlefield, like ghosts, waiting to give him a fatal blow at any time!
"Haha." The plan was so perfect that even Mu Luo couldn't help laughing out loud. She immediately passed the order down to implement the plan!
Because many players have unlocked bird's-eye view points around the world.
After Muruo informed them of the coordinates of God A, they were instantly teleported to the high slope outside the island of Atlantis.
Other players also arrived one after another.
Members of the Cult of Order scattered across the Greek mainland also rushed here by sea, bringing their elite soldiers and subordinates.
Soon, this not-so-small island was surrounded by people in three circles inside and outside.
Especially the entrance of Atlantis was surrounded by crowds of people.
Mu Luo was standing at the highest point of the entire island at this time, above a huge statue of Zeus, overlooking all the players below and singing a pre-battle encouragement.
"As you can see , this ancient ruins in front of us is the largest treasure house in the entire dungeon continent. It contains countless legendary suits."
"As long as you kill God A, everyone can enter the treasury and choose a set of legendary suits that they like!"
"The power of the legendary suit is self-evident. It will allow you to walk across the Greek mainland with ease! Destroy as many castles as you want!"
"Let your copy evaluation score only be higher, there is no highest!"
"And I promise that any player who participated in today's hunting plan can bring their ID to my Mu Luo's guild to claim a generous reward after God A dies!"
"The direct hunter will receive the extra generous reward I mentioned before!!"
"Whoever offends our Eastern Region will be punished no matter how far away they are!!"
As Mu Luo finished her pre-battle encouragement, a group of players on the ground began to cheer and howl as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
There's no way, the reward is just too tempting.
The S+ level dungeon clearance evaluation is already a fatal attraction for players.
What's more, after getting the legendary set, you can demolish the stronghold like crazy to get extra evaluation points.
Furthermore, if you kill God A, you can get an extra reward from the eighth-level guild.
Those who kill directly will also receive extremely generous rewards!
These layers of rewards are enough to bring out the dark side deep in the heart of an ordinary player.
Immediately, the entire ground responded with roars like mountains and seas.
"Kill this redneck!!"
" How dare you start a war in our Eastern Region! Don't even think about returning alive!!"
"Lord Muruo, we will always support you in enforcing justice!"
"Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, and let the outsiders from other regions see what will happen to those who come to our Eastern Region to cause trouble!"
“But let’s be honest… since he’s so bold, maybe he’s really capable?” There was also a greedy but timid player who said timidly.
Soon, this speech was drowned out by other contemptuous voices.
"A brush? Don't you see how many people we have here? In a copy where all potentials are restricted, what can he do even if he has a brush? Even if a true god comes, he can't withstand the simultaneous attack of tens of thousands of people!!"
"If he dares to come out, I will tear him apart with my bare hands!"
"One in ten thousand, how can I lose? Is there any justice in losing like this?"
Just when the players were loudly condemning.
Suddenly, a vortex of water formed rapidly on the surface of the Mediterranean Sea at the entrance of Atlantis, as if a whale was swallowing something.
Immediately afterwards, a figure slowly walked out from the entrance of Atlantis.
"Wow!!" The turbulent water whirlpool split into two in an instant, causing huge waves!
The players who were closer were frightened by the huge waves and took several steps back. Some timid ones were even so scared that they sat down on the ground, and the raging water poured down from the sky and soaked them like drowned rats.
At this time, the young man in a white robe was seen holding a staff. He was clearly at the bottom of the sea, but he walked slowly from bottom to top, step by step, on the stairs formed by the water, as if he were walking on flat ground.
With every step he took, the golden light on his body became brighter.
Finally, until he stood in front of everyone.
His armor had long been wrapped in dazzling gold, and his entire body was flashing with dazzling light, as if a true god had descended into the world. The strong luster made it impossible for players to even look at him straight in the face.
Xu Mu's eyes were stern, and he spoke slowly with an air of authority without getting angry, but his voice was like a huge bell that shook everyone's heart.
"Now. I am the law of nature."
