Chapter 124 The Twelve Constellations!
The whole city seemed to be paused, without any sound.
Everyone looked up in shock, staring intently at the "judgment screen" displayed on the giant light screen in the sky.
The room is empty and dead.
The people of the Eastern Region had not yet had a chance to celebrate and cheer for the appearance of the quasi-god.
The fantasy was ruthlessly torn apart by the young man in the white windbreaker.
A low-level player from the Southern Region proved himself to the people of the Eastern Region with his actions.
The four giants of your Eastern Region are vulnerable.
And hidden in the sky, protecting you, the quasi-god of the Eastern Region.
It is also vulnerable!
The shouting sound stopped.
The mocking voice disappeared.
Everyone's eyes were trembling with fear!
After a long time, someone started shouting in the crowd.
"Eastern Territory welcomes Master A to stay here permanently!"
Soon, it was like a chain reaction.
The players and citizens who had come to their senses all shouted at the top of their lungs.
"Eastern Region welcomes Master A!"
"God A is the true guardian of our Eastern Region!"
"Those people made mistakes, so they must be punished. God A is the executor of justice!"
There were more and more voices like this, rising straight up and faintly rushing towards the clouds.
Xu Mu returned to the top of Dengtian Mountain and just dealt with the shepherd boy who was about to run away.
Then I heard the compliments from countless people at the foot of the mountain.
"These guys have pushed their potential to change with the times to the maximum level, and some have even upgraded to latent spirits." Xu Mu was speechless about this.
Although he needs believers now.
But these people are not devout enough and their faith is worthless.
Even though they were shouting compliments, the Eastern Region had been isolated from the three major regions for five years , and they had long since developed a pampered character.
Changing the wind direction temporarily is just to protect the most basic interests, and does not regard oneself as a true believer.
After all, the threat brought by the scenes just now was too great, and no one could guarantee whether Xu Mu would launch a devastating attack on the Eastern Region.
Massacre the whole city? Xu Mu didn't have such a crazy idea.
The strength after becoming a god varies greatly. This group of low-level players may not be strong enough to start a round of divine sweep by themselves.
The impact force of Shi Xu being knocked away by his punch just now was enough to flatten several streets in the center of the East Region.
They pose no threat to me at all and have no vested interests in me.
As for those who believe in it or not, let them be. You can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep.
Xu Mu turned around and looked back at the huge villa courtyard on the top of Dengtian Mountain.
It would be nice to clean up the blood everywhere, claim this place as your own, and use it as your residence in the Eastern Region.
Standing on the top of a high mountain, the air is fresh and sweet, and you can see the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas all around. Looking down, you can see all kinds of human life.
There is also a floating island on the top, where you can pull a quasi-god down to play around when you have nothing to do.
Seems interesting.
Just when Xu Mu was about to clean up the villa.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard behind me.
Xu Mu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned his head slightly to see a graceful woman in an ancient long skirt with a rabbit mask on the side of her head.
She took a few steps with lotus steps and stood outside the courtyard of the villa.
"Hello, God A." She spoke calmly, but there was no trace of emotion in her clear eyes.
Xu Mu was not surprised at this mysterious visitor who appeared silently.
If no one came to visit him after he caused such a big fuss in the Eastern Region today.
Xu Mu felt uncomfortable instead.
Without a direct reply, Xu Mu walked to the wine rack next to him and took out a bottle of high-end red wine.
Use the upgraded Eye of the Blue Sky to scan the red wine with the Eye of God.
It is non-toxic and harmless, has a mellow taste, is warm in the throat, and has a sweet aftertaste.
The Eye of God can even describe the taste of an object in advance.
After pouring himself a glass, Xu Mu pulled over a single sofa, sat down with his legs crossed, and raised his glass slightly towards the visitor as a greeting.
"Iris, the eighth god of Huaxiu." The woman who called herself Iris nodded to Xu Mu. After a brief self-introduction, she said, "I wonder if you are interested in joining our Twelve Constellations. The 12 of us are quasi-god-level players who are in charge of the entire Huaxiu area, and we are committed to maintaining peace in the entire Huaxiu land. With supreme authority, you can understand that we are the heavenly principles of Huaxiu, and we are everything."
"So the guy just now is also the peace ambassador of your organization?" Xu Mu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
Iris paused for a moment, then said softly, "He is the past, and you are the future."
"It's quite a grand plan. I thought you would use some old trick of serial killing, killing one after another." Xu Mu took a sip of red wine. It was indeed as mellow and warm as the Eye of God suggested.
However, what Xu Mu missed more was that after working hard to get the order number in his previous life, he would go to the barbecue stall on a summer night to order a few skewers of fried and grilled food and have a bottle of cheap ice-cold beer.
Although it was cheap, it represented the highest level of enjoyment that I could give myself at that time.
Enjoyment comes from the heart and is inspired by feelings. There is no distinction between high and low.
"That won't happen. Muroko's actions have gotten out of control. We had already dissuaded him from becoming your enemy before he came. The fact that no god came to rescue him when he died is the best proof of that." Iris added, "Join us. I can help you erase everything that happened today, and no one will talk about it anymore."
"No, no, no, no need." Xu Mu waved his hand: "It's good to remember it. Some people don't feel pain until they are punched. I don't want to be robbed by a bunch of low-class people when I go out one day. A little deterrence is good."
As soon as the words fell, Iris's calm eyes flickered with a hint of surprise.
"You mean, you want to stay in this underworld in the future?"
"Why not? You don't have to collect faith from players?"
"But we can find agents, such as the Four Great Leaders of the Eastern Region. They have not reached a certain level, and they cannot absorb our beliefs from them. More or less, they belong to us." There was some confusion in Iris' eyes.
She couldn't understand why, since he had already become a god, he didn't follow her into the divine abode and separate himself from this earthly world .
"Even the food has to be chewed up before being fed into your mouths. You guys are really a bunch of big shots." Xu Mu smacked his lips in disgust.
Even after becoming a god, Xu Mu never thought that he had to be different from other players.
After all, except for the strategy which is his own, everything else is given by the dimension and the world tree.
If the Red Moon copy suddenly disappeared from this world one day, it would be as sudden as it appeared.
And take everything away at the same time.
The quasi-god players who were high and mighty would become nothing, and might not even be able to keep the money they had worked so hard to earn.
"The World Tree...will not disappear." As if seeing through Xu Mu's thoughts, Iris spoke softly, but quickly interrupted herself.
"God A, I wonder if you have ever heard of this saying."
“When you are a little bit better than others, you will be envied.”
“When you are much better than others, you will be admired.”
"And when your strength is so strong that everyone can only look up to you and sigh, and even their lives are in your hands, all you can get is fear."
"Gods are beings that have always lived in legends, which is why they are most likely to gain people's faith."
Xu Mu finally understood what he said.
This young lady did not mention a word or a sentence when it came to her intention to win over someone.
She tried every possible means to lure herself into the so-called "Twelve Constellations" organization.
Together with them, they share the faith of the entire Eastern Region.
However, Iris was clearly there to deliver a message.
The person leading this organization is the real decision maker.
His purpose was clearer.
I want to keep Xu Mu within a controllable range.
Let's all sit down and cut the cake together. If you have something to say, talk it out nicely . Don't overturn the table by yourself.
Of course, for someone like Xu Mu who is used to eating alone.
Even if the other party is sincere and sincerely invites you to cut the cake together.
But the issue of dividing the cake was not within Xu Mu's consideration.
Sorry, I have a big appetite, I want them all!
But not right now.
Xu Mu is not a reckless person who only rushes around.
To show his cards now directly and to show his intention to erode the faith of all Hua Xiu players is undoubtedly to declare a direct war with the Twelve Constellations.
And some of his cards have been exposed to the eyes of these 'Twelve Constellations'.
But to themselves, it is still unknown.
Maybe, those superiors have already fought several rounds of SS-level copies, and maybe even SSS-level copies.
The highest dungeon I have cleared so far is only S+ level.
There is also a gap between quasi-gods.
Xu Mu is not afraid of fighting to the death, but before he has all the necessary guarantees, Xu Mu does not want to fight to the death, as that is a foolish thing to do.
I still need time to develop.
Reaching out his hand and gently circling the rim of the wine glass, Xu Mu thought for a moment and spoke slowly.
"I already know your intentions very well, and I also feel your sincerity in inviting me to join the Twelve Constellations, but I am used to being alone and don't like group activities."
"How about this, I will make a small bet with you twelve constellations."
"You can continue talking." Iris listened carefully.
"Three months." Xu Mu held up three fingers: "In three months, the average strength of the players in the three major domains will exceed the average strength of the players in the Eastern Domain."
"Before the gambling ends, I will not be involved in the faith of the players in the Eastern Region. I will only stay in this residence on the top of the mountain and will not appear in front of the public in the Eastern Region."
"After three months, if we don't achieve this, I will voluntarily abandon all players in the Eastern Region. I will never set foot in the Eastern Region again and I will not compete with you for even a trace of faith."
"So what was accomplished?"
"If it is achieved, my request is not high." Xu Mu smiled: "The Eastern Region will lift the information blockade restrictions, allowing the four major regions to develop peacefully, and the copy resources will also be allowed to flow freely."
Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Iris's eyes.
this……
This bet doesn't seem to benefit him at all...
If he fails to achieve his goal within three months, he will voluntarily withdraw.
The faith that was originally to be evenly divided among 12 gods has now become shared by 11 people. The income of each quasi-god will increase, which is a huge thing.
If achieved, all he asked for was to open the blockade of the Eastern Region and still not hinder the Twelve Constellations from absorbing the faith of the people .
Moreover, this bet is simply impossible to achieve.
If the three major domains were to compete and the combined strength of the players exceeded that of the Eastern Domain, they might still be able to win by relying on their numerical advantage.
But in terms of average strength... the more people there are, the less advantage they have.
The average strength of the people in the Eastern Region is now A+ per capita. The average strength of the other three regions, including some remote counties, towns and villages, is only around C level.
There is a huge gap between the two. How can you compare them?
The more Iris thought about it, the more confused she became.
From a clear look, it seemed that he had restrained himself and took the initiative to give up the land in the Eastern Region so as not to disturb the Twelve Constellations.
But I always feel that he is preparing something.
Iris no longer understood what Xu Mu was trying to express.
However, from a feeling point of view, it is not a bad thing.
"Okay, I will convey your request. Once I accept the invitation, I will convey it to you truthfully." Iris nodded politely to Xu Mu.
The next moment, it disappeared out of thin air, leaving only a trace of osmanthus flowers floating and falling in the air.
Xu Mu stretched out his hand and a gust of wind blew up.
The osmanthus petal floated into his palm, still carrying a hint of warmth and refreshing fragrance.
Xu Mu's plan was not obscure.
A delaying tactic!
The Twelve Constellations don't know that they are humanoid strategy machines, and the main point is the information gap.
Compared to the little bit of faith that comes with fame.
Teaching people how to fish is the easiest way to increase their faith!
As long as you have the top-notch perfect strategy, it is only a matter of time to increase the strength of the entire group.
"Three months should be enough for me to improve the strength of all the players in the three major domains." Xu Mu thought to himself.
By that time, he would have developed enough to face the Twelve Constellations head-on, and at the same time, he would have gained the faith of the three major domains.
If I march into the Eastern Region at this time and become a ruthless harvester of faith, no one will be able to stop me.
Fame and fortune, I want them all!

God's Island.
The magnificent palace stands tall and majestic, more magnificent than any building in the underworld.
At this time, in the God's Council Hall.
The huge circular hall was shrouded in a layer of darkness, with twelve zodiac thrones of different shapes surrounding it in a circle.
Except for a chair with an evil pig pattern engraved on the back, the other 11 people were already seated, and each of them wore a strange mask on his face.
The atmosphere is a bit depressing and quiet.
After a moment, a middle-aged man wearing a dragon head mask spoke slowly.
"I think everyone heard what Iris said just now. What do you think? Feel free to express your opinions."
"It's very strange. Logically speaking, we sincerely invited him to take a seat. Anyone would be grateful for this. But he refused." The man wearing the wind dog mask asked in confusion: "I'm the first time I've seen someone who refuses to eat cake."
"Is there a possibility that he wants more?" The man wearing the venomous snake mask said, "As a quasi-god, how could he not need the faith of his followers? He just wants to change his approach. His idea is very simple. He wants to win us over through gambling, and then open up the East Region, so that some players in the East Region can flow into the other three regions and become his followers. In this way, he can avoid direct conflict with us. He has a lot of tricks up his sleeve."
“But he didn’t consider a single question.”
"As long as strong players emerge among the three regions, they will find ways to flow into the East Region, sprint to higher peaks, and eventually become our believers. This has been proven by time. It has been like this for the past five years and will continue to be so in the future."
The man in the rooster mask played with his sharp nails and said contemptuously, "To put it bluntly, he is still young. Just because everything has gone so smoothly, he is arrogant and thinks there is nothing he can't do. He will know in three months. Some gaps really can't be made up by time."
"Let alone three months, even if we give him three years, what's the harm? The three regions cannot surpass the Eastern Region!" The man in the tiger mask snorted proudly, "He is too short-sighted."
"Don't worry about it. I would love it if someone is willing to withdraw. He is simply giving us a big gift! I really have to thank him, hehe." The man with the cunning rat mask said with a smile.
"I'm starting to look forward to it. A new quasi-god is challenging our 11 veteran quasi-gods. Haha, I have to say, this kid is quite courageous, but his ideas are too naive." said Horse-Faced God.
"Then, do you accept this bet?" Iris, who had already put on the spirit rabbit mask, asked.
The person who was sitting in the dragon head chair facing north spoke with the final word.
"Can."
