Chapter 221: Eruption of the Mark of Hate
Li Qing didn't stay in this plane for long because there were limited strange creatures.
Although this thing will continue to be born as long as the plane exists, its efficiency is not fast, and it often takes many years for a new one to be born.
After almost clearing out all the monsters in this plane, Li Qing decisively left and returned to the main base.
It was the same bar where I met Yu Boping again.
He saw Li Qing and said with a smile:
"I heard someone say that a fierce man appeared in that plane who could actually deal with strange creatures. As soon as I heard it, I guessed it might be you."
Li Qing smiled slightly:
"I have some experience, and it happens that my ability is limited."
"So you're coming back now, are you planning to change places?"
Li Qing nodded and said:
"I just happen to have a question for you. You are familiar with this place. Is there any plane with many weird creatures in the plane battlefield?"
"I knew you were different from us. Our team couldn't keep you."
Yu Boping took a sip of wine and said:
"There are indeed such planes in the Plane Battlefield, and there are quite a few of them. However, these planes have been abandoned by both sides , and there are no teleportation arrays to go there. If you want to go there, you can only cross the void between the planes by yourself."
"The void between the planes is the battlefield at the level of the true gods of both sides. From here to the nearest dangerous planes, you have to cross an extremely long void. You'd better find some true gods to escort you there."
"Well, would a true god be willing to escort?"
"As long as you spend some merit, or a divine grace, there will be plenty of true gods willing to escort you."
"Well, where can we find the true God?"
"Go to the sixth, seventh, and eighth floors. These three floors are where the True Gods are active. Go there to send out a quest, or go to the War Tavern to have a look."
"OK!"
"By the way, if you want to hunt monsters for a long time, the best places are actually the Abyss and Hell. The Abyss is occupied by us, and Hell is occupied by the Mind-sucking Monsters. The Styx that runs between the Abyss and the Abyss is also affected by the distortion of the crystal wall system, and a large number of monsters were born there."
"Or to put it another way, the branch of the Styx in this crystal wall system has been twisted into a special strange area, where a large number of strange creatures live, and they can escape from the Styx and go ashore in a short time."
"If you have the guts to go over there, just stay by the Styx River. A large number of weird creatures will be attracted by the living creatures and come over. As many as you want will come."
"But the monsters in the Styx are different from those in other planes. The weakest monster inside is weaker than those outside, only equivalent to the tenth-level holy domain, and the strongest is comparable to a true god. If you encounter a monster comparable to a true god, it will be dangerous."
"Well, I'll be careful."
After bidding farewell to Yu Boping, Li Qing went straight to the eighth floor of the main base, communicating with the Tree of Eternity at the same time, searching for information about the Abyss and the Styx, as well as many strange things on the battlefield of civilization.
What Yu Boping said can only be used as a reference, and you have to take the initiative to find out the details yourself.
Fortunately, the main base has no restrictions on this information, and anyone has the authority to access it at any time.
Two hours later, Li Qing arrived at the eighth floor of the main base. By then, he had collected a large amount of information.
It is roughly the same as what Yu Boping said, there are four places with the most weird things in this crystal wall system.
A river of the underworld between the Abyss and Hell.
One is located in the chaos plane, which is the most chaotic place in the entire Crystal Wall System. Even before the Crystal Wall System was destroyed, the time and space here were chaotic and distorted. Later, the Crystal Wall System was destroyed and the underlying laws were distorted, and this place became one of the most dangerous places in the Crystal Wall System.
One is located in the heavenly plane, which was the place where the true gods of the Crystal Wall system once gathered. Later, the Crystal Wall system was destroyed, and most of the true gods fell here along with the Pantheon of this Crystal Wall system. The resentment of countless true gods distorted the laws and formed a super dangerous tomb of gods.
This god’s tomb is a super mysterious place.
Similarly, this super mysterious area called the God's Tomb is also the most valuable place in this plane.
The fallen gods, including the legendary Pantheon, are all inside. Tens of thousands of years ago, a certain supreme and great divine power stationed in the local area once said that this tomb contains the most valuable heritage in this crystal wall system.
But the great divine power did not explain what the inheritance was, nor did it explain how to obtain the inheritance.
But outside the tomb of the gods, there are always true gods from the two destiny civilizations of humans and lizards wandering around, all dreaming of obtaining this legacy.
Over the tens of thousands of years, no less than four or five hundred true gods have entered it, but none of them has been able to come out. All of them have perished in it, including an incarnation of powerful divine power.
The powerful god escaped by cutting off a part of his true body that was twisted and polluted in time. The other true gods clearly only sent an incarnation in, but their true bodies deep in the kingdom of God were all polluted and died, including several with medium-level divine powers.
The last place with many strange creatures is the central main material plane of this crystal wall system.
As the center of the Crystal Wall System, the Main Material Plane was most affected by the underlying laws of the Crystal Wall System. When the underlying laws of the Crystal Wall System began to distort, the first strange creature was born on the Main Material Plane.
The current main material plane has a large number of strange creatures and strange areas, but due to the special nature of the main material plane, it has not been sealed.
In addition to these four super strange domains, there are also some planes within the crystal wall system where a large number of strange creatures are born. This is Li Qing's target.
Li Qing didn't plan to go to those four super strange areas because they were too dangerous.
Li Qing directly issued a task in the service area on the eighth floor, with a divine favor as reward.
Soon someone took up the task and asked him to go to a certain location.
Li Qing looked at the place and found that it was the teleportation platform on the eighth floor.
The teleportation platform on this floor is the same as the ones on other floors, but the figures standing around are all shrouded in a layer of divine light, making it impossible to tell whether they are men or women or what they look like.
Li Qing waited for a while, and soon a team came over. There were only five people in the team, but there was only one true god, and the others were either demigods or legends.
The team of the True God is not composed entirely of incarnations of the True God. Most of them are led by a few incarnations of the True God, and some legends and demigods.
The leader couldn't see his appearance, but he sounded like a man. He looked at Li Qing and said:
"Are you going to go?"
Li Qing shook his head and said:
"Just take one of my men with you."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand, opened the door to the divine realm, and Long Fa walked out.
After being deceived and suffered losses several times, Li Qingxue learned that one must be on guard against others.
Let your men go first, and make sure there is no problem before teleporting using the Dragon Method as the coordinates.
With the Eternal Tree as a witness, Li Qing transferred a divine grace in advance, and then the team left with the dragon magic.
Nothing unexpected happened. Two days later as agreed, Li Qing received Long Fa's prayer in his mind.
As his saints and direct descendants, one can communicate with him directly.
After confirming that there was no problem, Li Qing, who was ready, directly opened a cross-dimensional door to another world and teleported to Long Fa's location.
After walking out of the gate to the other world, I found myself standing on a barren mountain. On one side was Long Fa, and on the other side was the team that brought Long Fa.
Seeing Li Qing, the incarnation of the true god, who had already revealed his true form, spoke:
"The people have arrived, and we are even."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and the space fluctuated and twisted, and then he teleported away with his team.
Li Qing, who was about to express his gratitude, spread his hands and looked back at this plane.
This is a desolate world. The grey sky is filled with dust and smoke. Not far from the foot of the mountain there is a dilapidated ruin with broken walls everywhere. A large number of skeletons and ghosts are wandering unconsciously in the ruins.
Li Qing looked into the depths of the ruins, and his powerful perception vaguely sensed that the depths of the ruins seemed to be...
The moment his senses vaguely touched the depths of the ruins, the existence in the depths of the ruins also sensed him, and it instantly became clear, and a familiar and strange aura quickly approached him.
“That’s quite a lot!”
There is a strange creature hidden in any ruin. No wonder the two camps gave up this plane.
Faced with this strange creature that could be resurrected infinitely and which even the incarnation of the true God felt a bit of a headache, Li Qing did not retreat but advanced instead, rushing straight towards the direction of the town.
"boom!"
Like a nuclear explosion, huge clouds of pure white flames rose above the town.
Three minutes later, the entire town was razed to the ground, and the undead and deathly clouds lingering in the town were completely purified by Li Qing's ten consecutive enhanced Yangyan Explosions.
The strange creature inside was a ghost-like creature in a virtual state. After being killed by the ten enhanced Yangyan explosions, it was quickly collected into the Dragon Realm and the palm space, and was successfully refined into slag after a set of processes.
When you are strong enough, even the most bizarre monsters are nothing but children.
After leaving the town, Li Qing began to wander around the plane, looking for strange things everywhere.
There are more weird creatures in this plane than he imagined. He runs around everywhere and doesn't need to look for them specifically. He can encounter one every few days.
In addition, he occasionally kills some legendary undead spirits lingering in the plane.
Without the heroic clearing of humans and mind flayers, these planes can easily give birth to legendary undead, including undead lords.
Relatively speaking, legendary undead are easier to deal with, after all, they cannot be resurrected infinitely.
Many months later, a half-dragon who was fighting with a monster somewhere in the plane suddenly stopped. The monster turned into a pitch-black liquid and pounced on him, like sticky asphalt, and a large number of fine whiskers drilled into the gaps between the dragon scales.
The half-dragon ignored the dark liquid flowing along the cracks in the dragon scales, and reached out to press the mark of hatred that suddenly appeared on his forehead, muttering to himself:
"Have you discovered it yet?"
At this time, the mark of hatred could no longer be suppressed by hands. Invisible shadows turned into tentacles and swayed in the air through his fingers. An invisible aura of corruption spread outward from the mark. The black liquid flowing on the surface of the body felt the invisible wave and suddenly stopped, not daring to extend towards his head.
"Hate, fear, death, destruction!"
Whispers that ordinary people cannot hear echoed in Li Qing's ears, constantly shaking his soul and will.
This is the whisper of ancient abomination, which has the power of corruption and depravity. Anything that hears this sound will immediately become corrupted and degraded.
It is because Li Qing's life essence and soul essence are strong enough that he will not be affected, but if the mark of hatred is not dispelled, unpredictable changes will occur over time.
Li Qing predicted the intensity of the aura of corruption and whispers of depravity emanating from this mark of hatred. If there were no major changes, it should not affect him, so he gave up the idea of continuing to consume the divine grace shield.
Not worth it.
You need to at least reach a medium level of divine power to be able to completely purify this thing on your own.
It would take at least several decades from now to be deified, and almost hundreds of years to reach medium-level divine power. How could he have hundreds of ordinary divine graces to block all the time?
Anyway, this is a civilized battlefield. Both humans and the mind-sucking monsters have incarnations of great divine power stationed here. There are no less than ten powerful divine powers on both sides. Even if the ancient abominations are more powerful than the average divine power, they cannot break into this crystal wall system.
Safety can still be guaranteed here and there is no need for shielding.
Li Qing even wondered whether this ancient abomination would dare to come over. If it dared to come over and was seen by the resident incarnation of the great divine power, would it be slapped to death?
This is very likely. The wind of the evil god like this is a huge threat to the war lord. It would be fine if he didn't see it at other times, but if he dared to run under the nose of the Supreme and Great Throne, there is a very high possibility that he would be killed.
But then again, it is better to rely on yourself than on others. You still have to be strong.
It turns out that Li Qing's plan was to stay in the plane battlefield until he was successfully deified. After being deified, there would be two paths for him to take.
One way is to find a powerful pantheon to join and seek refuge after being deified, and then become independent when you reach medium or higher divine power in the future.
Situations like this are allowed, as long as you agree on a time of loyalty with the main god of the pantheon and complete your tasks and responsibilities within that time.
After all, not all true gods are willing to be loyal to one main god forever. During the period of loyalty, many reasons may cause a gap between the monarch and his subjects, so both parties agree that they can regain their freedom after a certain number of years of loyalty.
Even people like An Erqiu who work for Li Qing will not be restricted to be loyal to him forever.
If the monarch and his subjects always live in harmony, they will naturally remain loyal to each other. Especially since Li Qing and An Erqiu have a blood bond, as long as there is no major change, their relationship will continue.
Another way is to keep hiding.
After surviving for thousands or tens of thousands of years, when the bloodline of the ancient dragon ancestor continues to improve, it will naturally reach a limit comparable to medium divine power, and then it will be able to remove the mark of hatred by itself.
Of course, the above two paths refer to normal situations , not including other opportunities he got during this period that turned things around.
For example, Li Qing now discovers that he can completely purify the monsters and obtain the fragments of the law. This is a turning point.
If he could accumulate enough fragments of the laws, he would be able to embark on the path of becoming an ancient god early.
The prerequisite for the ancient gods to be deified is the degree of mastery of the laws. As long as the degree of mastery of a certain law reaches a certain level, they can naturally enhance their divinity, transform their divine bodies, and condense their divine nature into gods. There is no need to accumulate faith or spend effort to manage believers.
As long as you master the rules to the standard, it is easy to become a god.
But then again, the biggest problem for the ancient gods is to understand and master the laws, which is much more difficult than accumulating faith and managing believers.
Therefore, if we can accumulate enough fragments of laws in the plane battlefield, this problem can be solved in a short time.
