Chapter 239: Eternal Essence
Chapter 239: Eternal Essence
The war among the Egg plane group finally broke out. Not only did his subordinates take turns to ask for battle, but also the Human God Alliance, the Lich King Alliance, and the indigenous gods could not stand that he stayed out of the matter. They all provoked and sent troops to him, forcibly dragging him into the quagmire of war.
Not only did the three kingdoms in the northern continent of Eger send out a joint force, but several kingdoms in the southern continent of Emma also formed a coalition to launch an attack.
In this case, he will have to fight whether he wants to or not.
Fortunately, they were well prepared and had sufficient military support.
Li Qing has built three inter-dimensional teleportation arrays over the years, continuously dispatching troops from the primitive and wild planes. More than five million dinosaur troops alone were transferred here.
Such a large force is enough to confront the coalition forces of the North and the South head-on.
The war involved at least two pantheons, and Li Qing originally planned to personally kill a few true gods to pay tribute to the monkey, but another more important event distracted his attention.
Li Qing's incarnation in the Chaos Void Sea found Chaos Wind No. 8.
It was an extremely huge chaotic wind that had no end even for an ancient dragon. It swept across the chaotic virtual sea like a torrent.
Wherever it went, everything in the void was swallowed up by the wind of chaos.
Li Qing hesitated for a moment, then stood still, allowing himself to be engulfed by the endless chaotic wind.
The moment he was swallowed, a power that he could not imagine penetrated his soul. He could vaguely hear a slight exclamation. The ancient dragon was shocked, and all his abilities disappeared in an instant. He suddenly lost the ability to fly and fell down.
Fortunately, we are inside the chaotic wind here, and the ubiquitous gray fog is both illusory and real. We only need to fall a short distance before we step on the real thing.
This unimaginable pressure came and went quickly, and soon disappeared without a trace.
Li Qing did not try to find out the source of the pressure. There was no need to guess that it came from the master of the chaotic wind.
No. 8 Wind of Chaos ranks so high, and the master within it is most likely a being comparable to a great divine power.
As the ancient dragon's body shrank rapidly, it soon returned to human form.
Li Qing stretched out his hand and looked at the back of his hand. There was a strange mark. He stared at the mark silently for a long time and then exhaled.
The mark comes from the master of this chaotic wind. Possessing this mark means that he has obtained the recognition of the master and can stay in this chaotic wind without being attacked.
It was so easy to get the approval of the Lord of Chaos, which made Li Qing speechless.
However, Li Qing can be sure from this that the ruler of the wind of chaos is likely to have some connection or tacit understanding with the Tree of Eternity.
But then again, if there is a connection or understanding, is there anything that requires you to come over in person?
Just send any messenger over.
At this moment, Li Qing suddenly looked up in a certain direction, the rolling fog dissipated, and several extremely powerful figures were slowly approaching.
Before the person arrived, a breath that made him feel extremely disgusted slowly approached.
"Illithid Warlord?"
After a few seconds, the chaotic mist parted, and a man, a lithe monster, and an orc appeared in front of him.
There was a hint of surprise in Li Qing's eyes, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
The three of them walked up to him, and the human on the right smiled and said:
"Welcome, my compatriots!"
The other mind-thirsty monster and the orc did not speak , but just looked at him with scrutiny.
"you……"
Not to mention the mind flayers and orcs, he also felt an extreme disgust from this human war lord.
There is only one possibility, this human war lord has fallen.
The so-called corruption is to abandon the Eternal Tree, but still retain the destiny of the war lord or destiny hero.
Among the Winds of Chaos, there is a Wind of Corruption that is specifically composed of these fallen war lords.
The fallen human saw Li Qing's disgusted look, but he didn't seem angry. He just smiled and said:
"Don't look at me like that. It won't be long before we become fellow travelers."
"Don't disbelieve me. We are just like you. We were ordered to come to Chaos Wind No. 8 to get something. But unfortunately, we didn't complete the mission and couldn't leave. In the end, we had no choice but to fall."
Li Qing frowned and asked a little:
"Can you tell me what it is?"
This fallen human smiled slightly:
"I can't tell you, but I'm taking you there now. When you see the Lord, you'll naturally know."
After saying this, he turned and left. The other two alien war lords did not say a word the whole time and also turned and left.
Li Qing followed without hesitation.
Make the best of it now. Now that you're here, it's too late to regret. There is only one way to go, and that is to go all the way.
Following behind the three people, teleporting several times, slowly entering the depths of the chaotic wind.
This chaotic wind is so huge that even with his perspective as a god with medium divine power, he cannot see its edge. The total volume is estimated to be no smaller than the Egg Plane Group.
This is extremely outrageous. The Egg Plane Group includes the main plane and the surrounding planes, as well as the void in between. The total volume is estimated to be larger than the entire solar system.
With such a huge size, even a true God would appear extremely small inside.
This Wind of Chaos is not like the previous Wind of Chaos that had a large number of demonic undead cannon fodder . There are very few individuals here, but they are all very powerful individuals, at least legendary or above, and True Gods can be seen from time to time.
The further he walked in, the more palpitations Li Qing felt.
When they arrived at a certain place, they saw a mass of chaos that was constantly expanding and contracting. The aura coming from it was comparable to powerful divine power.
And there are quite a few such auras, and I can feel no less than thirty of them along the way.
This means that there are no less than thirty beings with powerful divine powers in this Chaos Wind alone. If we add those sleeping in other directions, there are probably more than a hundred of them in the entire Chaos Wind.
"hiss!"
When he passed through these areas, he could also sense extremely powerful evil gazes falling on him.
He believed that if it weren't for the restraint of the master of the chaotic wind, they would have pounced out and devoured him long ago.
I passed through this chaotic area with some fear and trepidation and came to...
Without their introduction, Li Qing knew that the huge and indescribable chaotic light ball in front of him was the master of Chaos Wind No. 8.
The moment he saw it, Li Qing's mind suddenly became clear, and he naturally knew what he needed to get for this mission.
When he knew what he needed to take this time, even though Li Qingzao had expected it to be something extraordinary, he was still shocked.
He bowed his head respectfully and said:
"I am here by the order of the Eternal Tree to obtain the Eternal Essence!"
A resounding voice rang in his ears:
"From the human destiny, do you know the rules? Do you know the consequences? Do you want to continue?"
Li Qing gritted his teeth and nodded:
"I already know all that."
There is no room for regret now, I'm already here.
However, the fallen human standing behind him said to him:
"If I were you, I would choose to give up. Even though I can never go home after falling, it's better than dying completely."
At this time, the master's loud voice also sounded:
"Human Destiny, you can think about it carefully. If you give up, I will strip your true body and the eternal mark on your body and allow you to stay here."
The fallen man said again:
"Do you know that since the rise of mankind, the Eternal Tree would send an invincible super elite of the same level to obtain the Eternal Essence every once in a while? But they all failed and perished. They perished completely, including their avatars and their real bodies under the protection of the Eternal Tree. Even the Eternal Tree could not revive them."
Li Qing's face was even more surprised, and he asked:
"Is there any test required to obtain this eternal essence?"
The fallen human nodded:
"Of course, what else do you think?"
"What test?"
"I cannot tell."
At this time, the master's loud voice appeared directly in Li Qing's ears:
"I have in my hand a fragment of the wreckage of an Eternal that fell in ancient times. The Eternal Essence you need is hidden in this fragment of the wreckage. But if you want to get it, you must accept the test of the remaining will of the Eternal. If you succeed, you can get some Eternal Essence. If you fail, you will be assimilated by the Eternal wreckage, and your incarnation and true body will fall together, and you will never be able to revive."
Hearing this, Li Qing couldn't help swallowing.
The remains of the Eternal...
A test of the remaining will of the Eternal...
What is the Eternal? It is the eternal tree of mankind, the eternal brain pool of the psychic civilization of the spirit-sucking monster, and the eternal existence above the great divine power.
It is almost unimaginable how powerful such a being is.
Only by defeating the remaining will of the Eternal One can we obtain a little bit of the Eternal Essence...
Li Qing now understands how difficult this task is.
At this moment, he wanted to die and was instantly filled with resentment towards the Tree of Eternity.
Damn, I only owed a few ordinary divine graces, but I was assigned such an outrageous task. Is this something a human can accomplish?
But no matter how much he resented and complained, the problem was now before him: should he do the task or give up.
If he gave up, he would have to give up everything in Aion and become a fallen being.
If you do, there is a high possibility of GG.
Li Qing fell into deep thought.
The others did not disturb him and the scene became quiet.
Without hesitating for too long, Li Qing quickly made a decision and accepted the test.
There is no other reason, I just have enough confidence in my own strength... and the golden finger.
Having come this far, there is only progress and no retreat.
For him, it is really no problem to advance to a powerful divine power. It is hard to say about the great divine power, but the power comparable to the great divine power is no problem. As long as the time is long enough, the power of the ancient ancestor dragon will slowly grow to that level.
But eternity is almost impossible.
Under normal circumstances, this is completely impossible.
However, if you can obtain the eternal source, it will be different.
Even if no one explained it, the moment Li Qing saw the Eternal Source, he knew what it was and what it was used for.
This is the personal essence of an eternal life form, just like the divinity of the true God. Any great divine power and its existence must possess eternal essence in order to become an eternal life form.
Generally speaking, it takes the soul and life essence of a great divine power to carry the eternal essence.
If the strength is lower than this, one will be instantly assimilated by the remaining will in the Eternal Source and will be completely unable to resist.
This refers to the method of integrating the Eternal Source Essence. Apart from this, you can also find ways to condense the Eternal Source Essence yourself, which does not involve the danger of assimilation.
But if one's strength is not enough to achieve great divine power, there is no possibility of even contact.
It’s just like a mortal, how can it be possible for a mortal to condense divinity out of thin air?
However, after going through so much, Li Qing has sufficient confidence in his golden finger. He has a strong premonition that he can face the remaining will of the Eternal.
So, he took a long breath and said in a deep voice:
"I am willing to accept the test!"
As soon as the voice fell, everyone was silent. The three Fallen Ones were somewhat puzzled. The Lord of the Wind of Chaos was also quite surprised and asked:
"You know, if you fail, you will disappear completely, your family and friends will lose their memory of you, and you will no longer exist in this universe. With your strength, it will be difficult to defeat the eternal remnant will."
Li Qing nodded:
"I know, but I still want to try."
The master was silent for a moment, and when he responded again, his tone was obviously cold:
"In that case, according to the Eternal Contract, I will open the seal and let you in."
As soon as he finished speaking, an indescribable force descended, and the space in front of Li Qing twisted violently. Not long after, the space was torn apart and a crack appeared.
The crack quickly opened into a huge hole. It was pitch black inside and a creepy aura emanated from it. The three Fallen subconsciously took a step back.
Then the edge of the dark crack began to twist, and distorted shadows that were not clearly visible swayed on the edge of the crack, looking like sharp teeth in the mouth of an abyss.
"please!"
Li Qing bowed to the master, took a deep breath, stepped into the crack and disappeared.
Watching him leave, the fallen human sighed:
"pity!"
The orc felled threw his right hand, left a word and turned away:
"He is courting death!"
In the end, the illithid Fallen left without saying anything.
The three Fallen Ones left, leaving only the will of the Overlord, and some vague evil wills around them that were paying attention to the ever-twisting crack.
On the other side, the moment Li Qing's consciousness entered the crack, before he had time to look around, he sensed an invisible but powerful force that he could not resist at all hitting his incarnation. Almost instantly, Li Qing's incarnation of God was blasted into pieces without any resistance.
Immediately afterwards, a blazing flame burned in the void, and his shattered body burned rapidly, becoming weaker at a speed beyond his imagination.
In less than ten seconds, Li Qing sensed that the power of his incarnation had dropped from the original level 6 of the godhood to the point where it was barely able to maintain its true godhood, that is, it was almost unable to maintain its level 0 godhood.
"Space in the palm of your hand!"
Li Qing communicated with the space in his palm without hesitation, and an invisible force descended. The body that had shrunk to the extreme stopped burning.
But Li Qing could still clearly sense that an indescribable force was burning and eroding the edge of the space in his palm madly, and was forcefully penetrating into it.
