Chapter 216: Battlefield of Planes
The Tree of Eternity, Blackstone Realm.
Li Qing stood on the transmission platform with a gloomy face for a long time without saying anything.
He didn't expect that Xia Yuanqing would dare to do such a shameless thing as tamper with the cross-border teleportation array. Fortunately, he mastered the original laws of space, so even if Xia Yuanqing tampered with it, he could not shake his absolute control over space.
It is a taboo to attack the cross-border teleportation array in private.
Even those true gods who had previously supported him would immediately turn against him when they knew Xia Yuanqing dared to do this, even if it was not directed at them.
If you dare to treat others like this today, you will dare to treat me like this tomorrow.
The cross-border teleportation array is their only teleportation array for communicating with the Eternal Tree. It is not the only way to go back for the true god-level strongmen, but it is indeed the only way to return for ordinary war lords and heroes.
Once disconnected, if there is no way to reconnect, they will be lost in these planes forever.
Therefore, all the major forces in the Tower of Aion have a ban. No matter what the grudges are, it is absolutely not allowed to attack the opponent by attacking the cross-border teleportation array. Once such a thing happens, other war lords have the obligation to stop and judge.
If it is a true god-level strongman, he needs to be judged by the four supreme beings.
Li Qing didn't know whether Xia Yuanqing didn't know about the ban, or was crazy, or thought that as a true god, it would be easy for him to sneak attack a legend.
result……
He's going to be in trouble this time anyway.
But Li Qing himself was not having an easy time either.
Because the mark of hatred on his body has been activated.
I had originally thought of coming back quickly, consuming God's grace and asking the Eternal Tree to purify it, but I don't know if the spatial power that erupted when trying to stabilize the space attracted the attention of the ancient abomination represented by the mark of abomination. Now the mark has not only been activated, but has also changed from an ordinary mark to a special mark.
Generally speaking, it is a key mark.
The dark golden mark gave off a strange aura, and a surging vortex formed with the mark as the center, with tiny translucent black whiskers surging inside.
It seems real, but in fact it is empty and cannot be touched.
Li Qing communicated with the Eternal Tree and the answer he got was that complete purification would require the consumption of a high-level divine grace, but only one ordinary divine grace was needed to temporarily block it for a year. After a year, another divine grace would need to be consumed to continue blocking.
The so-called higher divine grace is naturally an advanced version of ordinary divine grace.
Ordinary divine favor can be exchanged for a large amount of resources, or some rare and strange things obtained from alien planes, or knowledge that the Eternal Tree does not have, etc. can be exchanged for divine favor.
Why do the gods have so many graces that they can give out more than a dozen at any time?
That’s because true gods often occupy several planes, and it’s not difficult to plunder the planes to obtain things or knowledge that other planes don’t have.
But the bulk of their divine grace comes from the priestly laws that they have mastered themselves.
The laws are endless, and the divine laws mastered by each true god are unique.
If the true God is willing to share the laws he has comprehended with the Eternal Tree, he will receive a great deal of divine grace.
You can gain some every time you understand some laws by sharing them.
As for the higher divine grace, it cannot be obtained through sharing of general laws. It requires very special and unique treasures, or knowledge, or very unique insights into certain laws, or completing the tasks given by the Eternal Tree.
Extremely rare and uncommon.
The effect is naturally very great, and you can even ask the Eternal Tree to take action or borrow the power of the Eternal Tree.
Theoretically, one can consume a high-level divine grace and borrow the power of eternity to directly kill a true god.
However, most of those who have the ability to obtain higher divine grace are true gods. They would rather use other methods rather than consume higher divine grace, which is more valuable to them.
So now the question is, what should we do next?
There is no need to worry about Xia Yuanqing. He himself is in danger now and needs to be tried by the Supreme Order Court.
Although it is unlikely that he will be sentenced to death, he will definitely be punished.
There is a high probability that they will be sent to serve on the battlefield with civilization, and they will have to serve for at least a hundred years.
The battlefield of civilization is the area where humans fight with other destiny civilizations. Generally, it is a group of planes that serve as battlefields. The weakest combatants are above the tenth-level holy domain. There are many legends and quite a few true gods.
There, legends are truly no better than dogs, true gods are everywhere, and only those with medium or higher divine power can make a slight move.
Speaking of which, he had lost his mind. In order to deal with him, they dared to directly destroy the inter-dimensional teleportation array in the transit base, and under the noses of so many people.
But if you put yourself in his shoes, it's not wrong for him to do so.
No one expected that the true body of a true god would not be able to affect the teleportation array. This was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
As for the penalty for failure...
Even if he goes to serve in a civilized battlefield, it is not a dead end for the true God. As long as he can survive, it is not difficult to survive the service period.
It is not a loss to exchange his enemy's life for this price.
But he didn't expect that he broke the rules and ended up not killing his enemy. I guess Xia Yuanqing must be so angry that he must be dying.
However, the mark of hatred on Li Qing's body has been activated, and he has been targeted by an ancient abomination, so both sides will suffer losses.
"Go find someone and ask what to do."
Li Qing pondered for a moment, then sent a message to Gu Qiangu, telling him everything about his current situation.
After nearly half an hour, a projection of Gu Qiangu came over.
As soon as they met, he stared at his brows with a serious expression, without saying a word for a long time.
Li Qing couldn't help but ask:
"Brother, what should I do in my current situation?"
Gu Qiangu gritted his teeth and suddenly sighed, which made Li Qingxin jump.
"You are not in good condition now. This mark of hatred has been activated. You have been targeted by a certain ancient abomination."
Li Qing immediately asked:
“I don’t know if there is a solution.”
"Well, there are a few ways, but they are all difficult."
"The first method is the simplest. It uses a high-level divine grace to purify it all at once. There will be no side effects. However, high-level divine grace is hard to come by. I think you definitely don't have it. Don't count on me, either. I don't have it either."
"The second method is to ask a great divine power to help purify it."
He glanced at Li Qing and shook his head:
"Don't count on that. Only the four supreme gods have this ability. But what can you come up with to ask the four supreme beings to help you?"
"Yes, it can be done with the powerful power of the purification priesthood, but as I said before, the price you have to pay to ask these big guys to take action is not much less than a high-level divine grace."
"The third method is for you to go to a powerful crystal wall system and complete the god-making ceremony. Then, before the owner of the mark, that is, the ancient abomination, arrives, you can ascend to the middle level of god power. Then, you can remove the abomination mark by yourself."
Li Qing...
There are three methods. After thinking about it, it seems that only the third one is relatively reliable.
However, this is only relatively speaking, and is actually still unreliable.
He now has only 8 ordinary divine graces, which can only be sealed for 8 years. It is absolutely impossible for him to complete all the preparations before becoming a god in 8 years.
Even if he borrowed a dozen more divine graces from here and there, more than 20 years in total would still be long.
At this time Gu Qiangu said:
"Here are some suggestions for your reference."
Li Qing said quickly:
"Please speak, second brother."
"My first suggestion is that you can sell yourself to His Majesty the Supreme Order. With your talent, perhaps His Majesty will be interested in you."
Li Qing...
"The second suggestion is to marry into my family. If you marry my sister, my father will ask a powerful god with purification powers, or even a supreme being, to help you cleanse the mark of hatred on your body."
"My third suggestion is to look at the missions released by the Aion Tower to see if there are any that reward high-level divine grace."
"The fourth suggestion is to apply to participate in the Civilization War. If you accumulate enough merit points in the Civilization War, you can exchange them for higher-level divine grace."
After saying this, Gu Qiangu looked at Li Qing with a smile.
Li Qing frowned, thinking about these four suggestions.
No, there are two suggestions.
The first one would not even consider it.
The time limit for selling oneself to His Majesty the Supreme Order God Throne is often measured in thousands of years, and he does not want to sell himself for that long.
The second one will not be considered either. He will only marry a wife and will not marry into the wife's family.
That leaves only the third and fourth suggestions.
He first communicated with the Eternal Tree and inquired about the tasks issued by the Eternal Tree.
However, as soon as he checked, a prompt popped up in front of him, showing a task:
"Infiltrate Chaos Wind No. 8, collect the designated items, and be rewarded with 3 high-level divine graces."
Li Qingzheng was puzzled when suddenly a piece of information appeared in his mind and he suddenly understood.
This task was exactly a favor owed to him by the Eternal Tree when it transformed two dragon-exclusive relics and a nest for him a long time ago. He needed to complete a task for the Eternal Tree at some point in time.
It had been so long that he had forgotten about it and didn't expect it to be this kind of mission.
He looked at the mission target again and felt a little empty.
“This is too difficult!”
The target location of the mission is Chaos Wind No. 8. It has a number and it is one of the top ten. I don’t know what level of Chaos Wind it is.
If he were to sneak into a place like this, wouldn't he die too quickly?
He quickly turned off the thing and didn't dare to take the task now.
Fortunately, this task has no time limit, and does not restrict him to receive it now.
Then he formally checked some of the tasks that the Eternal Tree was about to release.
The light curtain popped open, revealing only twenty or so tasks.
Taking a quick glance at these tasks, all he saw were either about the wind of chaos, involving the true gods, or about alien civilizations with destiny.
Most quests only reward one high-level divine favor, and only a few reward two or more divine favors. The highest-ranked of these...
"Destroy the Eternal Brain Pool of the Mind-sucking Monster's Fate Civilization, seize a piece of the Eternal Brain, and be rewarded with 1 Eternal Divine Grace."
Nothing to say.
The meaning of this task is equivalent to a mind-thirsty War Lord running to the human Tree of Eternity and cutting off a branch of the Tree of Eternity.
It’s so difficult that even if the great divine power goes away, it may never come back.
If we remove three of the four suggestions, we will only have the last one left - to participate in the war of civilizations.
There is one advantage of the war of civilizations. Regardless of whether you can accumulate merits in exchange for a high-level divine grace, you don't have to worry about the ancient abominations coming over there.
In the war of civilizations, both sides dispatched tens of thousands of true gods, with powerful divine powers exceeding ten. Each side had a permanent great divine power, which was a more powerful existence than the ancient abomination. There was no need to be afraid even if the mark of abomination could not be suppressed.
"So, this is the only option."
Li Qing made a decision in his heart, looked up and said to Gu Qiangu:
"Brother, I am ready to go to the civilized battlefield."
Gu Qiangu was slightly surprised, but didn't say anything, just nodded and said:
"This is a good choice. At least we don't have to worry about the ancient abomination coming to find us."
"If you choose this path, then you should prepare early. Don't worry about the Savage Plane. I have already made it known that if anyone dares to cause trouble, don't blame me for inviting the parents."
Li Qing nodded:
"Sorry to bother you, second brother."
Gu Qiangu said coldly:
"Some people are used to being crazy. Just because I don't do something doesn't mean I can't do it. Don't worry, there won't be a next time."
Li Qing was still relieved about this.
No one had expected Xia Yuanqing to be so cruel that he would rather be judged than take action during the teleportation.
Now Gu Qiangu is also angry. If anyone dares to take action at this time, he will ask his father to take action.
Then Li Qing asked some more questions about the plane battlefield. As soon as Gu Qiangu left, he opened the interface about the civilization battlefield in the Tree of Eternity.
There is not just one battlefield of human civilization, but only two overall, and each has many branch battlefields.
They are respectively the battlefields between the human and the mind-sucking monster civilization, and the battlefield between the human and the orc civilization.
Yes, among the many destiny civilizations, there are the orcs.
Among the many planes in the Chaos Void Sea, orcs are a race that is no less large than humans and are spread across almost all planes. It is not surprising that the orcs in a certain plane obtain destiny and become a destiny civilization.
It is worth mentioning that there seem to be six or seven destiny civilizations discovered by humans in the Chaos Void Sea, but the only ones close enough to humans' destiny civilization are the mind suckers and orcs, so there are only these two in the civilization battlefield.
Li Qing thought about it for a moment and decided to go to the civilized battlefield where humans and mind-sucking monsters were fighting.
The reason is simple. Orcs are stronger than mind flayers in terms of individual combat power.
In terms of comprehensive strength, both sides are evenly matched. The advantage of the mind-sucking monster is its powerful mental and spiritual power, while the advantage of the orc is its stronger individual combat power.
The civilized battlefield is mainly based on fighting, and of course, opponents with slightly weaker individual combat capabilities are chosen.
The battlefield of civilization with the mind-sucking monsters is in the depths of the chaotic virtual sea, a huge plane group with a broken crystal wall system as its core.
It is said that a long time ago, both humans and mind suckers discovered the crystal wall system. It was originally a normal battle for the crystal wall system, but for some unknown reason the war got out of control and led to the destruction of the crystal wall system.
The indigenous gods inside were either killed or fled, and all tribes suffered heavy casualties. A huge and powerful crystal wall system capable of supporting the birth of great divine power became a battlefield between the two tribes.
As time goes by, more and more small and medium-sized planes are drawn closer to this crystal wall system, slowly forming an extremely large plane battlefield group.
The two civilizations simply used this huge group of planes as a battlefield to fight each other, and it has been tens of thousands of years since then.
After fighting for so long, the Crystal Wall System had been in shambles, all resources had been plundered, and there weren't many mineral deposits left.
