Chapter 311: Tacit Understanding And Moves Of The True Gods
With his direct disciple gone, Wu Xian felt empty inside.
After all, Xu Cunxin was not only his disciple but also one of his top generals under his command.
All sectors of society were full of curiosity about the 【New·Hero Tower】.
But currently, aside from Alliance Headquarters, the Hero Tower data for provincial branches hadn’t been updated yet, so they could only wait for the top players at headquarters’ Hero Tower to experience it and share some news.
“Alright, get back to what you were doing, same as before.”
Wu Xian waved his hand, signaling the club members to return to their workstations.
No matter how the world changes, life goes on, right?
But Wu Xian could clearly feel that today’s series of events had thoroughly pushed the entire world onto a brand new page.
If the previous appearance of the Three Gods was just version preheating, then today’s emergence of this fourth True God, along with the Change to the Alliance Hero Tower, could be considered as fully opening the gates to the New Era.
Previously, Wu Xian hadn’t been interested in rushing layers in the Hero Tower.
From now on, it would be necessary to go to the Hero Tower for a proper experience.
It wasn’t late, but Wu Xian didn’t disrupt his own pace.
After chatting and discussing a few things with Master Sister, he rushed overnight to the Insect Realm Sentry Post Pansi Cave.
“Not bad~ It’s only been a few days, and you’ve already been promoted to four-and-a-half star?”
At the Pansi Cave Outpost, levels had risen quickly thanks to Kun Youniang and Zhou Qi’s efforts.
Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy had also improved quite a bit compared to before.
Compared to the surrounding chaotic deserts of the Insectoid Realm, it had somewhat of a paradise flavor.
Zhou Qi had already begun exploring and researching the fierce beast series.
Learning that Wu Xian was interested in his fierce beast concept, he couldn’t help but feel surprised.
Of course, Wu Xian wouldn’t let him suffer a loss and directly shared with him a thought process on fierce beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
The moment he saw this thought process, Zhou Qi’s eyes lit up, utterly engrossed.
He immediately shared the core concept of his fierce beast with Wu Xian.
To be fair, Zhou Qi’s core concept for this fierce beast really had something to it, especially the characteristic of ignoring rules, which had great development potential.
While pondering the fierce beast concept, he arrived at the Pansi Cave side.
Kun Youniang had clearly also been startled by 【Sky Green Tree King】’s attainment of divinity.
Fortunately, compared to the Human World, the birth of an Otherworldly Demon God didn’t have much impact on them as Otherworldly Beings; at most, it just deepened the erosion and infiltration of the corresponding other dimension.
“Any activity at the outpost lately?” Wu Xian inquired.
“Nothing much, just some Insectoid Great Demons eyeing this territory of mine, but I drove them all away.”
A hint of pride showed between Kun Youniang’s brows; these days, with the boost from Great Immortal Pansil’s scroll painting concept and Pansi Cave, her realm and strength had advanced by leaps and bounds.
The surrounding Insectoid Great Demons were no longer her opponents at all.
Wu Xian chuckled helplessly, then discussed the Otherworldly True God and changes in the Human World with Kun Youniang.
Learning that the three True Gods had incorporated their Dao Fields into the Hero Tower System, Kun Youniang was extremely surprised.
“It seems there really might be such a possibility,” Kun Youniang analyzed seriously: “Especially after recently comprehending that set of scroll painting concept of yours, this feeling has become more and more obvious.
Perhaps after we attain divinity, we really might converge with you human scroll painters despite different paths.”
Hearing this, Wu Xian couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.
After Otherworldly Great Demons become gods, they turn into existences similar to “scroll painters,” which undoubtedly proved the correctness of the scroll painter path.
At least the Upper World side had definitely gone astray.
But he didn’t know exactly what path the Otherworldly True God scroll painters followed?
It should be quite different from human scroll painters, right?
“Little Di Ting, weren’t you a lackey of the Abyss Demon Lord before? Tell us about it.” Wu Xian couldn’t help but think of Little Di Ting.
But Little Di Ting said full of resentment: “Don’t ask me. I had just followed the Abyss Demon Lord when you killed me right after. In total, I only saw the Abyss Demon Lord once.”
“Fine,” Wu Xian said with a wry smile, “Then what does the Abyss Demon Lord look like?”
“Pretty handsome.”
“And then?”
“As a little lord, I didn’t even dare to look directly, how could I observe closely?” Little Di Ting pouted.
Wu Xian’s forehead darkened, ignoring Little Di Ting, “Right, Second Sister-in-law, what do you think about the city-to-city space routes in the Human World? Why is the Emperor Spirit of the Void targeting only that?”
Kun Youniang pondered and said: “If I’m not mistaken, the several True Gods are all targeting and undermining the Upper World in their own ways, but I don’t know exactly what they’re targeting.”
“Targeting the Upper? Undermining the Upper’s power?”
Wu Xian couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
The Emperor Spirit of the Void’s actions were the most obvious; it didn’t target other space equipment, only the city-to-city space routes.
In other words, the city-to-city space routes had some special role for the Upper.
The Abyss Demon Lord side didn’t have any obvious actions, but thinking deeply, the “Immortal Yin Soul” characteristic should be the key.
Yes, it must be the Immortal Yin Soul point!
Wu Xian suddenly thought of the wandering human lost souls that appeared in the city after the City God Temple was established.
Then, the more he thought, the more terrified he became.
All along, where did the lost souls produced by ordinary people after death go?
At least from the current number of human yin souls in Yaoyang City, they were clearly all recently produced.
So the question was, where did Yaoyang City’s human lost souls from before go?
In a daze, Wu Xian seemed to understand something.
Were the city-to-city space routes pipelines for collecting human lost souls from various cities?
Because the space routes were blocked, Yaoyang City’s recent human lost souls had accumulated?
And the “Immortal Yin Soul” characteristic was perhaps to restrict the Upper World from refining and utilizing human lost souls in some way?
With this, everything became clear.
“Makes sense!”
Kun Youniang agreed with this thought process.
Currently, the only unclear action was that of the Ancient Era Sea God 【Tooth of the Sea】 in the Endless Sea Region.
He could go to the Endless Sea Region and coastal cities later to observe and look for clues.
The Emperor Spirit of the Void and Abyss Demon Lord were cooperating so tacitly; Tooth of the Sea definitely wouldn’t be idle either.
In the future, the newly ascended Sky Green Tree King would surely take action too.
It seemed the saying was true: The world has suffered under the Upper World for too long~!
For now, at least on the matter of confronting the Upper World, the Otherworldly True Gods were not enemies.
But one thing was one thing; in the future struggle for divine positions and the Great Dao, everyone was still competitors.
“Right, Second Sister-in-law, where is that Plant Dimension Infiltration Zone you mentioned before? I’m planning to go take a look.” Wu Xian said.
Kun Youniang’s expression was odd, “Going now, isn’t that not great?”
“Any problem?”
“Forgot to tell you, that Plant Dimension Infiltration Zone corresponds exactly to Sky Green Tree King’s Green Desert.”
“With a True God’s vision, they shouldn’t stoop to bullying little characters like us, right?” Wu Xian’s expression was odd.
“You going is fine, but me going would mean something different,” Kun Youniang explained helplessly: “The Dimensional Convergence Zone is inherently a place of struggle and fighting between the two worlds. Sky Green Tree King just attained divinity, and I go over to fight and kill—this is clearly provocation, isn’t it?”
“Alright,” Wu Xian nodded in realization, “Just send me there.”
