Volume 5: The Ancient Glorious Empire Chapter 57: The Glory Before the Disaster
The representative of the Ranhuo Chamber of Commerce is Qianqiu, and the representative of the Xinhuo Academy is Liufeng.
Teacher Fang was not present, but he was keeping an eye on the situation at the venue all the time, and from time to time he would switch his perspective to the First Tower Master, Dean Rose, or Princess Yunji.
Sage Cangtu, the most mysterious of the ten sages.
The reason why he is mysterious is that he has no fixed residence and is not worshipped by any overlord.
His life experience is also legendary.
The Cangtu Sage was born in a super oasis, and cultivated smoothly to the mythical realm. However, at this time, disaster struck, and the super oasis collapsed overnight. The Cangtu Myth at that time was reduced from a distinguished helmsman of a great country to an idle myth.
But it is a myth after all. With the status of a myth, it is still easy for him to build a large force.
However, Sage Cang Tu was disheartened, and because all his relatives had died, he no longer had any plans to build up his power. Instead, he frequently went deep into various dangerous places and soon disappeared from people's sight.
For dozens or hundreds of years, there has been no news about the Cangtu myth.
Just when people thought that this myth had fallen, His Majesty Cang Tu returned to human society as a noble demigod.
After several hundred years, the sage Cang Tu, with his astonishing appearance, carved out a path suitable for himself among the thorns and advanced to the ninth realm.
It is said that the path taken by the Sage of Cangtu is "Destiny".
He is also the one among the ten wise men who is best at prophecy and divination.
No one dares to ignore the prophecy from the sage Cangtu.
The Dihan demigod was only a messenger . He slowly opened a scroll that was filled with divine light and said solemnly to all the representatives:
"The wise man Cangtu said:"
"The evil god crisis is about to come. This is not only the biggest crisis that human history will ever face, but also the biggest crisis in the entire ghost world."
"I saw the endless darkness. In the darkness, the world collapsed, the gods fell, and all people disappeared. However, at the end of the darkness, there is a glimmer of light. If we follow the traces of the dawn, there will be hope for the continuation of mankind."
"Before the darkness truly descends, there will be three tides of disaster, which are the signs of the awakening of the indescribable evil god. The first sign of awakening has passed, but the next signs will become more and more fierce, until the evil god's tentacles are everywhere in the strange world. At that time, the oasis will wither, the world will collapse, and the universe will sink in filth and fall into the abyss."
Most of the super oases have already experienced the disaster brought about by this first sign of the evil god's awakening.
Some well-informed mythologists have already known that many myths and demigods have fallen in the recent disaster tide, and countless large oases and super oases have also been destroyed in the disaster.
Moreover, these destroyed oases have been eroded by thick filth, the grass has withered, the vegetation has degraded, the earth has dried up, the resources have been exhausted, and the oasis territory has continued to shrink... Even if in the future, other human forces are able to eliminate the evil and recapture these oases, what they will recapture will be oases that are almost scrapped.
Under the tide of disaster, the oasis's place of survival is being constantly deprived.
Many representatives of the Allied countries were sad.
They were eyewitnesses of the disaster, but they did not expect that the disaster they experienced was just the beginning.
The disaster they suffered at that time was not too severe, and they could just endure sacrificing some civilians. But if they suffered the same calamity as the Yunhui Realm, who could save them?
Ancient gods? Ancient gods are not reliable either.
At this time, Sage Cangtu continued:
"I have said before that there is a glimmer of light at the end of darkness, and when disaster strikes, it is often accompanied by the birth of destiny."
"Children of destiny are constantly being born, fallen ancient gods are returning one after another, and rare relics are constantly being unearthed... This is destiny, and it is also the self-salvation of the strange world."
In fact, the ghost world and the evil god are not in the same group!
The world was not once called the Strange World. It was occupied by an evil god that came from outer space, causing a drastic change in the world's environment and erasing the world's former name.
People nowadays only remember that it can only be called the strange world.
Fang You learned this secret from the Kandra Empire. At that time, the environment of the strange world was not so bad, but it was already a strange world.
Many representatives of the Allied countries may not be aware of this, but they know that when the world is in danger, it will often favor a few heroes in the form of destiny.
There are many examples to prove this.
When the outside world is swallowed by the strange world, many heroes often emerge. When their mysterious system is completely blank at that time, they repeatedly break through the dangerous awakening barriers.
This is destiny and the favor of the world!
"Now, destiny has arrived. Perhaps someone has vaguely discovered that breaking through the barriers of myth and demigod is easier than before. This is our chance to save ourselves, and we must seize it firmly."
"In addition, I have discovered that there is a ray of hope on the road from the eighth-level oasis to the ninth-level oasis."
"Under the evil god's calamity, the fate of mankind is hanging by a thread. Remember, remember, we must seize the opportunity of destiny and shatter the darkness!"
The gentle voice of Sage Cangtu gradually faded away.
The rays of light then dimmed, and the expressions of the representatives in the conference hall changed constantly, looking very solemn.
Many people thought about it and found that the changes in the world were just as Sage Cangtu said.
Demigod Xiguang thought: Gu Yue, Qixing, Honglian, and Dayi Luancheng are all geniuses of this generation that are far superior to those of the past. This is the blessing of destiny.
The Burning Chamber of Commerce and the mysterious force must be the same.
The more outstanding a person is, the more likely he is to be favored by the world.
The old Lord of Chisha thought: Xinhuo Academy can cultivate many new myths in a short period of time. Doesn't this just prove what the sage Cangtu said? The difficulty of advancing to the myth has been greatly reduced. The destiny has arrived!
More demigods thought of the same word - level nine oasis.
They don't know whether the disaster will destroy all mankind, but if there is a chance to impact the ninth-level oasis, they will definitely try their best.
There is no ninth-level oasis in this world!
The oasis is a product of the great changes in the environment of the strange world. The oasis is not large in area, which limits the living space for humans and all kinds of life. However, the oasis is the essence of the world's vitality and possesses many great powers that did not exist before.
The birth of resource areas, the gestation of world power... and so on, are all the powers of the oasis.
Among them, the seventh-level oasis is a major threshold, which can continuously produce world power, and this power can accelerate cultivation. The cultivation resources of most myths and demigods come from the output of super oases.
However, even if overlords like the Seven Kingdoms have far more super oases, their capitals are only level 8 oases and cannot be upgraded to level 9.
It’s not that there is insufficient accumulation, but that something is missing.
One of the reasons for this may be the help from the world, or it may be that the level was locked before.
Thinking of this, the demigods in the meeting hall could hardly hide their excitement.
They don't know what power the Level 9 Oasis will evolve into, but the Level 9 Oasis is at the upper level of the Ninth Realm. Since the Level 7 and 8 Oases can be born from the beneficial resources for the cultivation of mythical demigods, then, will there be a way for the Level 9 Oasis to reach a higher level?
It is very possible!
Within each dominant force, there are many ultimate demigods who have already perfected their demigod bodies, but they cannot find their own way, and the way of their predecessors cannot be replicated.
They urgently need a clear path. Even just a tiny clue would be a priceless treasure.
The prophecy of the sage Cangtu gave them hope.
I must try it when I get back.
If they had invested 40% of their capital to build up their foundation before, because they were worried about the coming of disaster, now that they had seen the dawn of destiny, they were willing to invest another 40%. This was 40% of the foundation accumulated over tens of thousands of years, which was extremely huge.
The haze brought by the disaster seemed to have dissipated a lot, and many representatives' faces were filled with excitement.
After Sage Cangtu's prophecy of destiny, the meeting went through the normal process, and then representatives from each company began to seek cooperation and communication.
As Xinhuo Academy was a newcomer with a large number of training facilities and resources, Liu Feng became a hot commodity.
He was not as old as these representatives, but he had seen more mythical demigods in his time, so he was a veteran. He immediately used his spiritual thoughts to communicate with the representatives who came from all directions and handled the matter in an orderly manner.
Want to come to our Xinhuo Academy for exchange and study? Sure, let’s discuss the details.
Want to use our college's resources for free? Go over there.
The most important thing is to take this opportunity to connect with various forces and enhance their awareness of fighting disasters. Exchange and learning is also one of them.
When the exchange students return to their home countries, they will bring back not only powerful strength and rich knowledge, but also the ideas and concepts of inheritance and the importance of disasters.
"However, even if some allies do not believe that the disaster can overthrow all of humanity, they will still work hard to cultivate strong people. This is the temptation of the prophecy of destiny... This Cangtu sage is quite capable."
Among human beings, there are capable people.
Fang You pondered secretly.
At the same time, in an ordinary wooden house in a secret place in the strange world, Sage Cangtu withdrew his gaze from the conference hall and couldn't help but cover his mouth and cough, coughing up golden divine blood.
How could one predict the crisis in the strange world without paying a heavy price?
In fact, if most of the prophecy results were not obvious and the rest could not be predicted at all, this revelation of destiny would be enough to completely drain the vitality of Sage Cang Tu.
He is one of the younger ones among the ten sages, but now he has white hair.
However, Sage Cangtu was still puzzled, or rather curious, "What exactly is this ray of dawn..."
Others must have thought that this dawn was the world's destiny.
He wants to talk nonsense!
There is destiny, and the potential of the strange world is being fully exploited, but can the evil god's disaster be resisted with all one's might? Didn't the worlds outside the world fight for their lives, but in the end, not even a splash appeared.
Sage Cangtu felt that the strange world had some resistance, but the wisps of dawn he saw were even more ethereal and blurry.
He wanted to find the source of the dawn.
He believed the source was in one of the allied countries.
Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Human Alliance Conference, Sage Cangtu began to spy on fate and track the dawn at the end of darkness.
He saw it!
He continued to move forward along this ray of light, wanting to see which representative it would eventually fall on.
Then, the dawn split and hovered.
Cangtu Sage: “???”
I've never seen this before!
…
…
The prophecy brought by Sage Cangtu was not only about disaster and destiny, he also predicted that the most precious relic of the Kandra Empire, Trial Site No. 1, would be unearthed soon.
The sage could not grasp the exact time, but he estimated that it would not exceed two years at the latest.
This relic, which contains a large number of treasures and secrets of the Kandra Empire, has attracted much attention from the world. Some hegemonic forces have spent countless manpower and resources to search for it, but in the end, they were unsuccessful.
It is generally believed that they can only find it if they wait until Trial Site No. 1 is revealed.
Fang You was also envious.
Especially at this time when strength is urgently needed.
Maybe we can find some clues about the god-killing weapons in Trial Ground No. 1.
——The Kandra Empire failed to kill the evil god, but that didn't mean the god-killing weapon was useless. It was more likely that the power was not enough. After all, according to his understanding, there were not many high-ranking people in the Kandra Empire, and there were even fewer giants who could rank at the tenth level of the True God Realm.
At Chi Yan's peak, he was only at the Ninth Awakening.
"Do you know where Trial Site No. 1 is?"
"Chi Yan still doesn't know..."
She dropped her head.
Fang You was not surprised. Trial Site No. 404 was floating around before it was born, not to mention Trial Site No. 1. If it was really that easy to find, the most likely scenario was not that it was discovered by human forces, but that it was destroyed by the evil god's servants and servants.
As for what treasures and technologies are contained in Trial Ground No. 1, Chi Yan still doesn't know.
It's not that she has no memory of this, but it's not her business, and she won't have nothing better to do than ask about these things.
"But Chi Yan is very familiar with the trial officer sister and uncle there~!"
…
Fang You didn't pay much attention to the matters at Trial Site No. 1.
There's no point caring too much.
When the trial site is revealed, it will not be difficult to find out its exact location with the current size of Xinhuo. Moreover, referring to the situation of No. 404, he believes that the trial site will send out secret coordinate information by then.
Fang You was more concerned about another thing predicted by Sage Cangtu - the ninth-level oasis!
There are three oases in Xinhuo: Spark Oasis, Burning Oasis and No. 3 Training Camp Oasis.
After years of development, the three oases have all been promoted to level seven, with the Spark Oasis even being promoted to a level eight oasis that only overlords can own.
After the Spark City entered level eight, Fang You continued to invest "popularity" in the Oasis to help it expand and upgrade.
At first, the area of the oasis could expand slowly and the resource output could increase slightly, but one day, no matter how much popularity he invested, the oasis became like a stagnant pool of water, without any ripples.
He could understand the confusion and urgency of the various hegemonic forces.
Because he knew better that Oasis had indeed hit a bottleneck.
[Spark Oasis LV8 (99%)]
[Resource points: ① Mingliu Gem Mine LV8; ② Jintiemu Forest LV8; ③ Shengji Spring LV8; ④ Weird Crystal Mine LV8; ⑤ White Meat Fruit Forest LV8; ⑥ Original Embryo Vein LV8; ⑦ Secret Realm Stone Vein LV8]
And now, perhaps there is an opportunity for a breakthrough.
"However, this is only the prophecy of Sage Cangtu, and it is still unclear whether it is true. Even if the prophecy is true, can a ninth-level oasis be easily promoted just by injecting popularity?"
It’s definitely not that simple, because he just tried it, and just by injecting popularity, it still couldn’t bring about any change in the Oasis.
What else is missing?
After constant exploration and experimentation, he soon achieved initial results.
The barrier was indeed loose, and he tested some key elements.
"First, you must complete the Level 8 Oasis, which is 99% of Level 8, and cultivate all resource points to Level 8."
"Secondly, the power of the oasis itself is not enough. It needs sufficient external force to push it forward, that is... the power of the world."
He has met both of these conditions.
But there is a third condition.
The power of high laws!
There must be a high-level being who uses the power of his own laws as a foundation to pry open the power of the strange world and allow the oasis to complete a true transformation.
And the high position exists...
Fang You looked at Qianhong.
This won’t work.
Fang You looked at the secret doll again.
This doesn’t work either.
They are all not normal enough, and the operating mode is very different from the real high level.
It would be better to rely on other mentors themselves, or Chi Yan, or wait for Liu Feng and Zhou Bao to accumulate deeper power of laws.
What's more, if one were to be promoted to a ninth-level oasis, they would inevitably face a counterattack from the filthy forces of the strange world. This matter could not be rushed and had to be foolproof .
…
Half a year has passed since the end of the Human Alliance Supreme Council.
During this period, human forces in various domains communicated and cooperated closely, and many new super oases emerged.
Falling Star Domain,
In just half a year, three super oases were created.
Half a year ago, Jianhua City began to rise and faced the disaster of the Oasis. During this period, the Queen Iloxi was in charge of Jianhua, and she burned two invading seven-star evil spirits to ashes on the spot with the Phoenix Divine Fire, which amazed the onlookers and made them praise the Queen for her awesomeness.
Three months ago, the Blackstone Alliance began planning for promotion.
Blackrock was originally just a level 4 oasis, far from having sufficient foundation, but with the "popularity" sponsorship from the Burning Chamber of Commerce, the Blackrock Alliance soared all the way to level 6 and began to plan for level 7.
Promoted quickly.
The news spread and even attracted the attention of many powerful forces in the Broken Sea.
They either marveled or coveted.
At first, Fang You didn't let the Burning Chamber of Commerce advance too quickly because it was too exaggerated and easy to arouse associations. But now, he is not pretending anymore, because the Burning Chamber of Commerce has a backer behind it.
He even used the channels of the Burning Chamber of Commerce to directly sell the ritual stone tablets that had attracted a lot of popularity.
This can not only earn extra money, but also enhance the overall strength of mankind, which is a win-win situation.
Not long ago, with the help of the Burning Chamber of Commerce, the City of Steel easily survived the oasis promotion crisis.
At this point, the Falling Star Region formed a situation where five countries coexisted.
But anyone with a discerning eye knows that there is only one true overlord, and that is the Burning Chamber of Commerce!
What? You said that the City of Falling Stars has a long history and rich heritage? That's all in the past. Times have changed.
"The prophecy of Sage Cangtu is indeed accurate. It has only been a few years, and the power of our Falling Star Realm has increased several times compared to before, but..."
This doesn't seem to have anything to do with their Falling Star City?
Oh, not really, as their allies have become stronger, their lives also feel more secure.
only,
"The glory of our ancestors must not be lost! Since the Falling Star Domain has produced many myths in recent years, it is in line with destiny that my Falling Star City can cultivate the third and fourth myths."
He thinks so.
We have to devote all our energy to cultivating the new generation.
Most of the oases in the Falling Star Domain, such as the White Tower, the Burning Oasis, Storm City, etc., have no chance to attend the Human Union meeting, nor do they have many channels to learn about the outside world, let alone the prophecy of Sage Cangtu.
Their six senses helmsman was only in a trance when he discovered that the domain had changed.
Times have changed.
And they haven't even gotten on the bus yet!
