Volume 10: Doomsday Storm Chapter 592: Oath of Light
Looking at the several private messages sent by Godwin, Murphy's heart moved.
He secretly calculated in his mind and thought that the time for that thing to happen would soon come.
Since gaining control of time, Murphy has been observing the timeline of this world.
No one can resist the temptation to see into the future. Now that we have the ability to observe the future, we naturally want to understand it well.
However, after observing, Murphy discovered that the authority of time could not allow him to fully predict everything that would happen in the future. Time was inherently full of uncertainty. Having the authority of time only allowed him to see the various possibilities that he would encounter in the future. Each certainty extended to a different future direction, and each future route derived more uncertainty...
The longer the time, the greater the uncertainty, and the more difficult it is to predict the future.
It is only basically predictable in a short period of time, before the timeline unfolds.
But then Murphy discovered another huge bug in this ability to predict the future - that is the player. In the extension of all timelines, the player is completely invisible.
In other words, this predictive ability cannot deduce the impact that players have on the world, so the predicted results are naturally destined not to be too accurate.
This made Murphy quite disappointed, but fortunately, some major historical events in the short term, which are not easily changed, can still be predicted.
This includes the four natural disasters, and the third natural disaster will soon take place in Lordaeron, but he cannot confirm how it will take place.
Well, it's nice to be able to witness the disaster with my own eyes.
Murphy did not intend to take action to prevent the disaster. Firstly, Wang Xuan had reminded him that as a god he should not be too deeply involved in these matters. Saving the world should be left to the heroes and adventurers.
Secondly, if the version BOSS does not appear, he will not be able to seize the opponent's power of authority. The third disaster should correspond to the void camp, and he has not yet obtained the power of the void.
Therefore, Murphy made up his mind to observe the progress of events secretly first, and wait until the disaster strikes. When the heroes and adventurers fight the version BOSS for three hundred rounds according to the script and are about to be defeated, he will show up to reap the power of authority.
This saves trouble and avoids attracting the attention of game companies.
Aidan: I'll be right there.
More than ten minutes later, Murphy arrived at the royal palace of Lordaeron.
He arrived via teleportation magic. Wang Xuan's warning was still fresh in his mind, so Mo Fei naturally would not deliberately cause trouble. He used teleportation to move the scene in the posture of a mortal, and the noise would be much smaller.
Murphy usually acts as Prince Aidan.
As for the identity of the Dragon God, I just need to deny it. If that doesn’t work, I can just say that I am possessed by the Dragon God.
When Godwin heard that Aidan had arrived, he hurried out to greet him.
"Hahaha, Brother Aidan, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for so long."
Murphy looked at Godwin in silence, thinking that this kid was being too attentive for no reason and had a fawning expression on his face. He knew without asking that it must be because of his deification.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Come in, let's talk. The last time I went to Mount Hyjal, Malfurion gave me some fine night elf wine as a national gift. We can drink and talk at the same time."
Then he welcomed Murphy into a reception room.
Soon the maids brought fine wine and exquisite meals to the table in the banquet hall.
Murphy was enjoying the delicious food and fine wine, feeling quite relaxed.
He has become a Dragon God now. Apart from slowly improving his level of authority, there is basically nothing else to pursue in the game, so he is very relaxed.
Godwin was not so patient and couldn't hold his temper after a few drinks.
Godwin (King of Lordaeron): "I know it may be a bit too much to ask so directly, but I still want to ask you, if it is convenient - this, Brother Aidan, how did you become the Dragon God?"
"Haha, I thought it was something else. That's it. What's so inconvenient about it? Actually, there's nothing to hide. My method of becoming the Dragon God is very simple. I just need to complete all the Origin storyline missions. Why, you haven't finished your Origin storyline missions yet?"
"Oh, don't mention it. I'm stuck at the third stage of the mission." After saying that, he didn't hide it anymore and directly revealed the content of the mission.
[Heart of the Holy Spirit (Origin Story Mission)
Mission content: Practice the oath of light and forge the heart of the Holy Spirit.
Current progress: 0/8.
Mission introduction: You have successfully completed the mission entrusted by the Supreme Will and spread the glory of the Golden Holy Tree to this world. However, to obtain the true power of the Holy Light and become a "Holy Spirit", you must completely purify your mind and practice the oath of light. Only in this way can your body and soul be perfectly aligned with the Holy Light.
Special note: Completing the original story mission may lead to unknown risks, please choose carefully. 】
"This crappy mission doesn't even give any hints. It doesn't explain clearly how to practice the Oath of Light. I've been working on it for so long but haven't made any progress. Brother Aidan, you've been through this before, so come and give me some advice."
The Holy Spirit? It sounds pretty powerful. And this is only the third ring of the mission. Corresponding to my own origin mission, it should be equivalent to the stage of the Ancient Dragon Road mission.
Then there is the fourth stage, which is even more amazing.
Maybe he can become a god if he completes this mission.
Murphy felt a little emotional. He also felt helpless for Godwin. Although his third-ring mission was very difficult and required ten ancient dragon hearts, they were all clearly priced. His was a bit puzzling.
However, it's not that there are no clues at all.
"The progress of the mission is 0/8, which means that there are eight items in the Oath of Light. Hmm - could it be related to the eight virtues of the Paladin?"
The so-called eight virtues of the Paladin are humility, honor, sacrifice, bravery, mercy, honesty, spirit, and justice.
Generally speaking, a paladin should practice these virtues as much as possible, but it is usually impossible to do all of them. In fact, being able to do three or two is good enough.
Godwin nodded. "I've thought of that, but how do I put it into practice? I've tried all kinds of things during this period, such as helping old ladies cross the road every day, bravely fighting those evil bosses, participating in trials in the court of justice, and doing a lot of wanted missions, but it's all useless."
Murphy shook his head, "What you said is too superficial. How can the origin story mission be so simple? First of all, it is likely to be completed during the story event to be effective.
Second, it must be something that ordinary people cannot do.
For example, when Archimonde attacked the World Tree, everyone knew that fighting him would likely result in death. If you still insisted on fighting him, you might be able to trigger the bright oath of [Heroism].
But if you are just fighting some bosses who are weaker than you, and you have a lot of subordinates around you, how can it be connected with [Heroism]? "
This is really a case of bringing up something that is not related to the topic. When Godwin heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly.
This sounds like the truth.
He explained awkwardly, "There's nothing I can do about it. I'm not afraid of death, but the key is if I die, will the power I've gained disappear? I don't dare to gamble on such things. You weren't there at the time, so it wouldn't matter if I stayed."
Murphy shook his head. "If I were here, you wouldn't be considered heroic if you stayed. You can only be considered heroic when you fight against enemies stronger than you. Haha, you don't even dare to participate in a battle where you won't actually die but just lose your power. How can you have the nerve to think that you have the trait of 'heroism'?"
Godwin was stunned. "So what you mean is that if I want to fulfill my heroic oath, I must challenge a higher level opponent and I can't have any help..."
"That's right, and I guess the other characteristics are roughly the same.
Have you ever truly treated those NPCs who are inferior to you and weaker than you as equals, listened to their demands, and provided them with help?
Have you ever made a fearless sacrifice for the safety of others, regardless of your own life?
Have you been honest with your soldiers and your people and told them the truth about your escape from Mount Hyjal?
Have you ever given up huge benefits for the sake of honor, and regarded honor as more important than wealth and equipment..."
With each question, Godwin's expression became uglier.
If you think about it carefully, it seems that he has nothing to do with any of these eight virtues.
In the eyes of players, NPCs are just data, and at most they are more enthusiastic and concerned about the heroes.
In the eyes of players, the purpose of playing games is to get equipment drops, so of course they want to fight for any good stuff.
In the eyes of players, only by staying alive can they continue to live a carefree life. Of course, they will rush to fight in a battle that can be won, and anyone who does not run away from a battle that is bound to be lost would be a fool.
Of course, there may be some players who are more immersed in role-playing, such as those players in Mount Hyjal who are not afraid of death and stay to fight.
But Godwin was definitely not that kind of person.
He suddenly felt that he might not be able to complete this original plot mission.
Murphy patted Godwin on the shoulder and said, "The origin story mission is not for you to play as a game, but to really immerse yourself in it. Your actions and your heart must practice the beliefs in the mission. You can deceive the system, but you cannot deceive yourself."
"I understand, alas..." Godwin's thousands of words finally turned into a long sigh.
"Next time I encounter this kind of situation, I will never run away again!"
As soon as he finished speaking—boom!
The palace of Lordaeron suddenly shook.
Mo Fei thought to himself, he finally came. Although he didn't know what happened, he could probably guess it.
Godwin was surprised.
"What's going on? Is there an earthquake?"
He stood up, and suddenly the voice of the Supreme Will sounded in his ears.
His expression suddenly changed, and a listening expression appeared on his face.
After hearing the voice, Godwin's face changed drastically.
"Oh no! Something happened to the Golden Tree. The Supreme Will just gave me a warning that someone is trying to steal my house!"
After saying that, he walked out, and after taking two steps, he suddenly turned his head.
"Brother Aidan, are you coming?"
Murphy nodded and followed.
As the two walked out of the palace, they immediately felt something strange. The leaves of the golden tree above their heads were falling one by one, and the sky was filled with golden fallen leaves.
The violent vibration came from the huge trunk of the golden tree.
Godwin grabbed a servant.
"Tell Uther to gather the troops and go to the Golden Tree immediately!"
After Godwin finished speaking, wings of light appeared behind him and flew towards the golden tree.
Murphy followed closely behind.
It was clearly noon, but the light of the golden tree, which was so bright and dazzling in the past, now became a little dim.
The two of them ran quickly and soon arrived at the foot of the golden tree. There was a crack in the middle of the trunk, and at the end of the crack was a golden light curtain.
Around the golden tree gate, dead golden guards were lying all over the place.
These were all level 70 elites, and they were all killed silently. This shows that the invaders were very powerful.
The two of them walked into the light curtain one after the other.
As soon as he entered the golden tree, Murphy saw the source of the change. A huge creature that he had never seen before was fighting with a twisted humanoid creature that exuded the power of the void.
The shape of that huge creature is very strange.
In the dark body grow veins and nerve structures that look like gold. Its shell is transparent, and its spindle-shaped body is covered with strange fins and tentacles on both sides. Its head is a hemisphere protruding from the neck, and on the top of the golden neural network is a strange skull that looks like the sun.
A dim golden holy light emanates from his whole body.
'Lightforged Beast' Eldon (Guardian of the Golden Tree): World-class Tier 5 BOSS, Level 99, HP 495,000.
A world-class fifth-order BOSS should have been quite powerful, but at this moment it had no ability to resist the attack of the humanoid creature. It was constantly bombarded by void magic, and the holy light power emanating from its body was constantly dimming.
However, his opponent, Murphy, recognized him by the name above his head.
Ner'zhul (Void Destroyer): The fourth-level boss of world destruction, level 134, health points 1965000.
It turned out to be him...
Murphy could see that Ner'zhul was not using his full strength. He seemed to be using shadow magic to continuously consume the power of holy light in the body of the Lightforged Beast.
Although the Lightforged Beast still has a lot of health, the power of holy light in its body is almost exhausted.
"Damn, the fourth level of world destruction, what a joke!" Godwin was immediately frightened.
Although he is now a legendary hero, he is only a legendary one, and heroes can only win against BOSS by fighting in groups. He was scared when so many people fought Archimonde together, so he is naturally scared when facing another BOSS of the same level.
"Brother Aidan—let's go together!"
Murphy shook his head and said, "Don't you want to fulfill the Oath of Holy Light? Now is the best time. Don't be afraid of evil and face it bravely. I think as long as you face Ner'zhul bravely, even if you can't win, you can at least fulfill the oath of [Heroism].
If I go, the nature of the situation will change."
Godwin was stunned when he heard this. This...
He glanced at Ner'zhul who was concentrating on consuming the Lightforged Beast, and then looked at Aidan who had a calm expression on his face - he was really cool after becoming a god, and he didn't even blink when facing the fourth-level BOSS of world destruction.
Damn it, in order to become a god - I'm going to try my best!
"Holy Light, grant me strength!"
Golden heavenly armed forces appeared around Godwin. He swung the golden sword of law in his hand, spread his wings of holy light, and rushed towards Ner'zhul .
