Chapter 134: Miss Gu's Invitation
Time flies, the years pass by.
Li Qing spends most of his time hiding in the underground world to digest the harvest he has accumulated. He can create an iron golem every two days.
After this excavation, the total amount of refined gold accumulated had reached 1,255 kilograms, and there were about 520 kilograms of mithril. After making 125 iron golems, there were still more than 100 kilograms of mithril left.
In addition to being busy, Li Qing did not give up observing the surface world. Long Shou, Long Fa and An Erqiu each took turns to go to the vicinity of the Snake Man King City to observe the stalemate between the three forces.
Most of the time you don't have to worry about it, but if the apprentice coalition is at a disadvantage, you have to report it to him.
According to the default rules, he cannot join the battle without an invitation at this time, but if they are in a great disadvantage, he will decide whether to join the battle depending on the situation.
But no matter whether he participates in the war or not, he must let his men keep an eye on Zhao Dingzhen and not let him die.
As for the battlefield on the other side, Wu Mayun, he didn't pay much attention to it and asked his subordinates to go over and check it out every week or so.
Judging from the strength of both sides, it won’t take long for the fight to decide the winner.
Besides, he had never thought of saving them, so if they really lost, they lost. He could just go over and clean up the mess and take advantage of it.
Unknowingly, more than a month has passed, and it is now almost the third year of training. In a little more than a year, the Wind of Calamity will leave this plane fragment.
After such a long stalemate, Li Qing finally received an invitation from Miss Gu, inviting him to join in the attack on the Snake King City and the descendants of the Calamity God.
After so long, his existence is no longer a secret, and his strength is no longer a secret.
He has taken in nearly forty ordinary war lord apprentices in his divine domain. Except for those from the underground world and Zhang Jishan and others, the rest were found from all over the planes in recent days. Now there are nearly forty of them in total.
It is worth mentioning that after searching for such a long time, no trace of Cao Wenyuan was found. Even the apprentices who escaped with him disappeared without a trace. It is very likely that they have died at the hands of the Scourge Heroes.
It would never be peaceful for so many people to stay together. As time went on, and as all the Scourge heroes in the plane were wiped out by him, many apprentices led their subordinates to leave the fortress and go outside to clear out some wandering undead.
I don't expect any spoils of war, nor do I expect good results from this experience. I can only train my soldiers now while it's relatively safe outside, and at least train an elite force to prepare for life after graduation .
Students like them will start to be separated after three years of training.
Those with good grades, potential, or strong connections can continue their studies.
Those with poor grades cannot continue their studies and can only enter society early.
Or join the family team to conquer the family plane.
Or a group of like-minded people team up and descend to an alien dimension.
Most civilians join the adventure teams formed by seniors, or join the teams formed by some large consortium companies, etc.
As a large number of apprentices went out, some unwilling apprentices even ran to the joint team. Li Qing's existence was naturally no longer a secret. Zhao Dingzhen and others also knew that a large number of defeated soldiers gathered in Li Qing's fortress.
It was known from the beginning that Zhao Dingzhen was simply unable to get away to look for Li Qing at this moment.
But as time went by, the two sides have been in a stalemate for so long, more than half a year, and have been unable to do anything to the other side. It is not a solution to keep wasting time.
The main reason is that we can no longer consume our food and fodder.
Not all apprentices are self-sufficient.
There are only a few apprentices like Li Qing who have both the Divine Realm Farm and the Divine Realm Ranch. There are probably only a few who can unlock all three levels. They are usually self-sufficient in grain production, and even have a lot of surplus to store.
But again, not all apprentices can be self-sufficient. Many war lord apprentices don't have that yet. They just store a lot of food and fodder at the beginning.
The rate at which food and grass are consumed is different in peacetime and in war. During continuous battles, soldiers must have sufficient meat and protein to supplement their nutrition, and the consumption is definitely much higher than usual.
They also did not expect that a war would last for half a year and it seemed that the stalemate would continue.
As a result, the meat and protein in the food were consumed too much and there was not much left to store.
It's okay now, but it will be troublesome if we continue to waste time.
In addition, the fighting that lasted for half a year had a great impact on the soldiers' psychology, not to mention that they were facing the dead such as the undead, which had a greater psychological impact on the soldiers.
Fortunately, they are all soldiers from the Divine Realm. Under the influence of the Divine Realm, their minds are much stronger than ordinary soldiers.
If the indigenous soldiers had been fighting continuously for half a year without any entertainment or way to relieve stress, the army would have collapsed long ago.
So after knowing Li Qing's existence and learning about Li Qing's strength from these apprentices, Miss Gu discussed with several other teams and invited Li Qing to join this battle.
However, Li Qing did not agree immediately, but brought Long Shou and Long Fa to the camp alone.
The two men landed in front of the camp from the sky. Looking at the camp, which was almost the same as before, but the soldiers were obviously in extremely tense moods, Li Qing had an idea in his mind.
The pressure on this army has reached its limit. In simple terms, its war-weariness has reached its peak. If it suffers a major defeat, it will immediately suffer a complete collapse.
Arriving in front of the camp, Li Qing saw Zhao Dingzhen, who looked a little haggard, standing at the door. He quickly came up to him, punched his shoulder hard, and said:
"I didn't expect to see you for so long. You're doing better and better, but I'm so miserable. I've been trapped here for more than half a year. I'm so anxious."
Li Qing saw the bloodshot in Zhao Dingzhen's eyes and could tell that he was indeed a little anxious recently. He smiled and said:
"I'm here to help you solve your problems."
"I knew you were a good brother."
Zhao Dingzhen laughed, looked around, and suddenly sent him a message:
"Our current situation is not very good. We have been enduring for so long and can't bear it any longer. We can't just stand by the dead. There are a lot of internal emotions right now. There are already multiple voices within the joint team. Even Boss Gu can't suppress them."
"The idea within the joint team now is that you unite your many apprentices and gather tens of thousands of fresh troops to first repel the Lord of the Scourge and then withdraw."
"???"
Li Qing was speechless:
"What do you mean, let me bring other apprentices and tens of thousands of people to serve as cannon fodder and force them to withdraw?"
Zhao Dingzhen also replied via message:
"This is not the boss's intention, but the intention of the other two teams. They don't want to waste time any more. Even Boss Gu can't suppress them."
"After all, the boss is very powerful. If he loses, he can still run away. But they can't. If they are completely defeated, their lives may be in danger. Naturally, they want to find a way to retain more strength and withdraw while the situation is still stable."
Li Qing seemed to be thinking about something, then looked at Zhao Dingzhen for a while and asked:
"What do you think? Do you want to stay or leave?"
Zhao Dingzhen pursed his lips and said:
"Actually, I want to leave too. After more than half a year of fighting, I can't hold on any longer."
"Yes, I understand."
The situation was worse than Li Qing had imagined. On the surface, everything seemed normal, but his nerves had been stretched to the limit and were on the verge of collapse at any time.
It was because the enemies they faced were the undead, and the consequences of failure would be too terrible, so they could hold on. If they were replaced by two waves of war lords, it would be impossible for them to continue fighting in this state and they would have collapsed long ago.
"So, does this require me to turn the tide?"
Li Qing followed Zhao Dingzhen into the camp and saw many War Lord apprentices gathered together. Wu Jiuyuan, whom he had met before, stepped forward and said to Li Qing:
"Mr. Li Qing, it's nice to see you again. Boss Gu is not here at the moment, so I will represent the team to contact you about cooperation matters."
However, Li Qing just shook hands with him and looked behind them. On a rocking chair lay a petite and beautiful girl. She let the rocking chair rock, but looked at Li Qing with an uncertain expression, with a hint of surprise and confusion, as well as a hint of joy in her eyes.
Wu Jiuyuan was stunned by Li Qing's expression, turned his head and looked behind him, and asked:
"Mr. Li Qing, have you seen Boss Gu?"
Li Qing nodded and said to him:
"I'll talk to Miss Gu next."
As he spoke, he walked to the back amid their increasingly surprised expressions and went up the stairs to the second floor alone.
The hall was quiet, and a few people whispered:
"If I heard correctly, Miss Gu was here too?"
Everyone was silent, and a few people nodded:
"seems like it……"
Someone looked at Zhao Dingzhen, who was also confused, and asked:
"Your brother..."
At this point he paused because he didn't know how to greet her.
Zhao Dingzhen also rubbed his head and said:
"You may not believe me, but I don't know what happened. I only know..."
Before he could finish his words, an indescribable pressure suddenly swept over like a substance, and everyone shuddered as if they were electrocuted, and the hair on their heads stood on end as if they had been electrocuted.
A terrifying pressure that cannot be described in words swept across, and everyone trembled. Even though the pressure was fleeting, they just looked up in shock, and no one moved.
The second floor is the rooftop. Li Qing went up to the rooftop and stood still. In his eyes, Miss Gu at this time was slightly different from the last time he saw her.
The last time he saw her, she was a petite and stunning girl, but this time, what he saw was a tall and stunning queen who was shrouded in divine light. She had an aura of sacredness and inviolability that made Li Qing feel strongly threatened.
Although it seems very different, it is actually the same person, just seen differently by different people.
Or to put it another way, both forms are her, but ordinary people can only see her current girl form, while the other sacred form cannot be seen by the war lord apprentices present.
Insufficient strength!
Miss Gu put her hands behind her back, looked at Li Qing with a smile on her face, and said:
"I knew you were special. You are the real you now!"
Magically, Li Qing knew without asking that the 'now' she said did not refer to his current state as an ordinary human being, but to his current state as the true body of the ancestor ancient dragon.
Li Qing smiled and nodded.
"Yes."
Gu Qingxin asked again:
"Your power comes from the dragon clan!"
Li Qing hesitated for a moment and asked:
"Your power comes from..."
"My father is a god, and my mother is also a true god."
"Oh! I see."
I really understood why she had these strange symptoms and why she had two forms.
It's very simple. The second form of the graceful and beautiful queen is her complete true form. The form of the beautiful girl we see now is the form after her true form is sealed.
Or to put it another way, people like her whose parents are both true gods inherit their divinity and priesthood from birth. At worst, they are born demigods. If their parents are powerful enough, they are born true gods.
But because human civilization has destiny, if they, who are born divine, want to obtain destiny, they must seal their own divine qualities and incarnate as mortals, and grow slowly as mortals.
If they don't do this, they may be born divine from birth, with strength at least starting at demigod level, but they have no destiny and are no different from the indigenous gods in alien planes.
But if they obtain the Mandate of Heaven, they can expand the divine domain at a speed far beyond that of ordinary people. After reaching a certain point, they can use divine power to transform the divine domain into their own kingdom of God.
Because of the particularity of the divine domain, their kingdom of God is a dual kingdom of God.
The dual kingdom of God means that the kingdom of God is divided into two levels. One level is like the realm of God, a world where living people can survive, and the other level is the kingdom of God, where those who pray and the true God can live.
To put it simply, believers are present with the Kingdom of God.
Coupled with the characteristic that the divine domain can be put away at will, the kingdom of God in the palm of your hand can be moved at any time, is not affected by the plane or distance, and can perfectly exert the power of the true God in any alien plane. This is an epic enhancement for the true God.
Therefore, the true gods of human civilization can freely go to any foreign plane to fight with foreign gods, and their strength will not be affected in any way.
so……
It was nothing, so he didn't ask more questions about the other party, but Li Qing could clearly feel that her attitude towards him was closer than last time.
In other words, she has recognized herself.
In the past, I just felt that my scent smelled good, but I only felt that he had some extraordinary qualities, but I didn't show it.
Now that Li Qing has awakened the bloodline of the ancient dragon, his extraordinary qualities have been revealed, and he has been recognized by Gu Qingxin as a being of the same level as herself, so her attitude has naturally changed drastically.
The two of them sat on the roof very naturally, looking ahead and chatting about some interesting stories that Li Qing had never heard of before.
She knew that although Li Qing was in the same class as herself, he was not born holy. His previous class was not high and he did not know many things, so most of what she told him were basic things.
Li Qing also learned from her many things that he had never been able to access before.
For example, he knew that the more he accumulated during the apprenticeship period, the more benefits he would get after being promoted to a formal war lord, but he did not know some implicit knowledge that insiders never passed on.
For example, in the early stages of accumulation, the size of the divine domain is not necessarily the bigger the better.
In addition, before promotion, the selection of divine relics is very important.
Because after the promotion, if there are relics in the divine domain, and if the war lord's potential meets the requirements, it is possible to integrate the characteristics of one of the relics into the divine domain as one of the official characteristics of the war lord's divine domain.
