Chapter 689: How to be a good Lord God?
The immortal appeared, casually said some rules, and then disappeared in front of everyone with his mechanical war god. Well, perhaps they should now be called "qualified people of reincarnation."
Or use the immortals' fancy term "seeds of calamity".
The fifty-odd people in the ruins had different expressions. They came from three different worlds with different cultural and civilizational heritages. If it weren't for the immortals' magical powers, they would have difficulty communicating.
Not to mention starting collaboration right away.
Especially for a guy like Jing Yunkui who has been traveling around the world for many years, he is very vigilant and it is not easy for him to trust a stranger he meets for the first time.
What's more, the immortals are now using magic to implant strange things into their minds.
When they looked up, there were always translucent words marking the tasks and goals in front of them. It did not affect their vision, but this obviously extraordinary thing still made everyone fall into a situation of thinking.
“Uncle, uncle?”
The little farm girl who was being protected by Black Wind Village Master Jing Yunkui looked around. She pulled Jing Yunkui's sleeve with some fear and whispered in a rural accent:
"That person has been watching you."
"Um?"
The leader of the Black Wind Village turned his head with lightning-like eyes and caught a gaze from the crowd who dared to look away. He looked among the eighteen people from his own world and soon found the person who was secretly observing him.
"Liu...woman?"
Jing Yunkui's expression changed slightly. He winked at the little girl behind him, and quietly moved to the side of the woman who was wearing a gauze dress, a bamboo hat, and dressed like a singer and dancer.
He whispered:
"It has been three or four years since we parted at Yuntai. I never thought you would also get this 'immortal fate'."
"What's your name, heroine?"
The woman in the bamboo hat snorted and replied in a bad tone:
"I saw you look familiar just now. I didn't expect it to be you. Where did you learn to speak so elegantly? I guess you wanted to call me a lackey of the imperial court, the one wearing black leather, right?"
"hehe"
The leader of Black Wind Village smiled awkwardly.
The singer-like woman in front of him was no simple person. She was the head of the Divine Detective Division of the imperial court in the small world where Jing Yunkui lived. She had met the emperor many times and was bestowed with the Silver Frost Knife by the emperor.
He is also a well-known name in the underworld, and has personally killed many so-called "devils" in cults.
Four years ago near Yuntai, this Constable Liu, with his thirty-six men, blocked Jing Yunkui and his brothers in a small town, set it on fire, and almost burned the leader of the Black Wind Village to death.
Those were some of the most critical situations Jing Yunkui had encountered during his many years of wandering the world.
When the two enemies met, they should have taken out their weapons and had a good fight, but the situation was really weird. Both of them were masters, so naturally they chose to let go of their hatred first.
"How did Lady Willow come about?"
Jing Yunkui glanced at Captain Liu Qiang's finger, and saw that she also had a black ring on her finger, just like himself, so he asked.
The latter waved his sleeves irritably, covering his fingers, glanced at the Black Wind Village Master, and said:
"Today, there was a rumor that a magical creature appeared in Tangshan. The treacherous ministers in the court reported it as a good omen. The emperor was quite curious, so he sent people from the Divine Capture Department to investigate . It seems that this creature is seeking immortality again.
I was the unlucky one chosen to check. When I arrived in Tangshan, I didn't find the spiritual object, but I found this ring in a valley.
I originally wanted to throw it away, but after a good night's sleep, I ended up coming here in a daze.
Um?
Who is this little girl? Could she be Brother Jing's illegitimate daughter?"
Liu Qiang looked at the peasant girl behind Jing Yunkui. The latter fearfully hid behind her uncle, whose life she didn't know, as if she was afraid of seeing people.
"I'd like to know that, too."
The leader of the Black Wind Village looked back at the little girl and asked:
"How did you get this ring?"
"It was given by a sister."
The peasant girl touched the black ring hanging on the red string around her neck. Her slightly dirty face seemed to recall something beautiful, and she said softly:
"My mother and I went to the town to attend the market. There were so many people there that we got separated. I was getting scared when a beautiful girl with long ears and a tail found me.
He also took me to a steamed bun shop and treated me to delicious meat buns.
She told me that my mother would come to pick me up, and gave me a ring, saying that we would see each other again if we were destined to do so. She also said something like, "My spiritual roots are overflowing, and it's a pity, and I'm lucky to have met her."
Later, my mother found me and took me home. I took a nap and then..."
"You said the sister who gave you the ring had long ears and a tail? Are you sure you read that correctly?"
Liu Qiang and Jing Yunkui looked at each other.
The little girl's words were incoherent, but the amount of information she spoke was very rich. Captain Liu put on a friendly smile, squatted down, and asked a few questions gently.
The little girl was still a little afraid of her, as if she could smell a terrible smell from her.
"Those weirdos are leaving, hero, should we follow them?"
Jing Yunkui's attire shows that he is a man of the martial arts world. The two coldly shining lapis lazuli axes on his waist also represent his unusualness. He has been commanding thousands of people in the village for many years and has developed an awe-inspiring aura.
There was no need to say much at this moment. The dozen or so people who came from the same world as him naturally regarded him as their backbone. A scholar in luxurious clothes, holding a fan in his hand, came over cautiously and said something to the leader of Black Wind Village.
The latter turned his head and looked. The group of people wearing armor, holding wooden sticks and with colorful hair seemed to have made a plan and were preparing to leave the ruins and walk towards the town not far ahead.
The group of people at the farthest point, wearing short-sleeved shirts and shorts and holding strange metal weapons, also organized their team and left the ruins.
"Let's go too!"
Jing Yunkui did not hesitate too much. He bowed to the group of people from all walks of life and all kinds of identities around him and said:
"I have something to say before. We are all just casual acquaintances today. We have never met before. We are all suddenly gathered together, and we must have some thoughts in our minds. Jing will not force you to work for his subordinates.
However, everyone saw the immortal coming with their own eyes and he even spoke.
Everyone can understand those words, and it is up to everyone to believe them or not.
But today's matter will involve a fierce battle, so I hope everyone will be prepared and find some weapons nearby to carry with them. Jing will be the vanguard to lead the way.
Captain Liu is from the imperial court, so everyone should obey her orders, is that okay?"
After he finished speaking, Liu Qiang also stepped forward and took out his own divine detective token from his hand. It was inlaid with gold and jade and decorated with tassels, making it difficult to forge.
With the help of his status in the imperial court, he was able to stabilize the situation in an instant.
Not all of them were weak and helpless. After hearing Jing Yunkui's reminder, they immediately searched around the ruins for the broken swords and spears, which could be considered a rough disguise.
"Little girl, follow me."
The leader of Black Wind Village held two sharp axes in his hands and gave an order to the girl behind him. The latter grabbed the tip of a broken spear, nodded fearfully, and followed the uncle in black closely, walking towards the town ahead in the dark night.
The entire scene fell into the eyes of Yunduan and the other man.
Boss Jiang is an old "player". He was fully responsible for turning the Eden players into cannon fodder. Now this "reincarnation game" is nothing more than a replica of the Eden players' model.
Nothing was surprising to him.
But Liu Hui, the silly monster beside Lao Jiang, was very excited at this moment. She was holding a recorder produced by the World of Eden and observing the situation of the more than 50 people.
She held an electronic pen in her hand and wrote and drew on the recorder.
The scratching posture makes him look like a researcher doing an observation experiment, or a primary school student taking observation notes.
"You are really addicted to it."
Old Jiang sat cross-legged on the head of the Ming Snake puppet controlled by the Big Lazy Snake, stroking the Xuantian sword in his hand leisurely like a snake fairy, and said to the silly monster:
“Is this thing so fun?”
"Oh, boss, this is not a question of whether it's fun or not."
Liu Hui held the recorder in one hand, put her other hand on her waist, and said to the boss beside her with a wag of her head:
"The main thing is that I personally selected each of these fifty-six people, just like fighting crickets, you know? I naturally hope that they can all perform well in the fight to prove my vision.
Besides, this is a task that you, the boss, personally assigned me, so of course I have to take it seriously.
These people are the most talented group in the three small worlds. They will not achieve much if they stay there because their world is so weak and cannot provide them with enough opportunities.
We send these talented mortals here to accelerate their growth so that they can fight against the Lord of the Wilderness.
Although it is said to be "forcing things to grow", it cannot be left alone.
They are not Eden people who are not afraid of death. You can give them tasks and get rewards. It doesn’t matter if they die.
They are all living people, so they must be taken care of. I didn’t bring them here to let them die.”
"Then how do you plan to train and take care of them?"
Old Jiang sneered and said:
"Are you planning to play house with them and select a group of weak monsters for them to practice with? Or are you personally delivering the best ashes to them?
You have a bad mentality, Liu Hui.
I gave you the task of selecting the best talents to fill the gaps in the World Tree Consortium's combat power, not to let you be a babysitter. These people are indeed "geniuses", but how many geniuses died in the Red Moon War and the Wasteland War?
Your pattern is still not open.
You have to learn to look at problems from a higher perspective. The Lord of the Wasteland has caused a disaster of cosmic level. Every world in this group of stars is in danger of being subverted.
In this case, what would it matter even if you turned these fifty-six people into a sea of suffering?
It’s not enough for the Lord of the Wilderness to swallow in one bite.
What I asked you to do is a big thing!
It's not just a small matter of focusing on a few dozen people.
I came here today to show you how to be a qualified 'Lord God'!"
As he spoke, Lao Jiang snatched the recorder from Liu Hui's hand and crushed it into powder with a click. He reached out and grabbed Liu Hui's wrist, and the next moment he jumped into his own sea of consciousness with the silly monster's soul.
The spirits of a man and a demon stood under the Seven Treasures Magic Tree. This was the first time Liu Hui saw Boss Jiang's "companion spiritual treasure". She looked curiously at the tree in front of her, which was already blooming but still ugly.
“Watch this!”
Lao Jiang stretched out his hand and placed his palm on the branches of the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree. The next moment, the flowers and leaves of all the worlds, big and small, currently connected to the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree began to vibrate.
Under the stunned gaze of the silly monster, more than ten thousand people were selected by Boss Jiang's consciousness. In the screening process that was out of order, these people were taken out of their own world and thrown into other worlds at random.
Just like what just happened in the Red Moon Realm, more than two hundred groups of reincarnations were thrown into the Red Moon Realm and the wasteland, with more than fifty people in each group. At the same time, they received the mission target of "Reincarnation of Sin" issued by Lao Jiang.
Those groups were like projections of a live TV broadcast, divided into small windows and lined up in front of Liu Hui's eyes, making the silly monster's fair face look a little confused, and his tail stopped shaking.
"The first batch of 200 people will be screened at the same time. Those who survive will naturally become stronger and eligible to unlock the material exchange rewards given by the World Tree Consortium.
They will become stronger and move on to the next round.
This cycle repeats itself over and over again, until after nine rounds, the ones selected are definitely the best of the best. In terms of strength, mind, and potential, they will all be top-notch.
Only such elites are qualified to participate in the true cause of saving the world."
Old Jiang turned his head and looked at Liu Hui, saying:
"That's what I want you to do."
“They’re going to die.”
The silly monster said with some difficulty accepting:
"I've seen your design for the 'reincarnation of sins'. It happens once every three months, so nine times would only take a little over two years. In the ninth cycle, they will have to fight against enemies at the level of God Cultivators!
Not many people can do that.”
“So we have to do it over a long period of time and on a large scale.”
Boss Jiang snapped his fingers and said:
“As long as the base number is large enough, miracles will always happen.
What's more, after the fifth reincarnation, they will be provided with soul coding services, and by then they will be "immortal" in a sense.
What I want is a large number of "Quick Soldiers", my silly monster. We want to save as many worlds as possible before the cosmic disaster destroys everything. How can we do that without paying a price?
So, 'Lord of Reincarnation' Liu Hui, do you understand your mission now?"
