The last month in the gambling world.
Sumo worked hard to compile all the research materials he could collect into a complete reference book.
"Theosophy"
It not only completely records the birth and growth process of the magical organs, but also records the contrasting reactions of the organs when humans use magical arts.
I can’t say how much this information will help humans in the world of faith, but at least putting it on the bookshelf will allow researchers from the Fire Fist Tribe to remember this matter.
In addition, Sumo will also selectively retain the advanced technologies brought out in the asynchronous space.
For the Fire Fist tribe, whose productivity is still extremely backward, as long as they can master these technologies, rebuilding human civilization in the cracks will no longer be an unreachable task.
However, considering that the emergence of these technologies is so abnormal, it is difficult to fool them even with divine gifts.
Sumo got a safe, upgraded it slightly, and set a special opening time.
One week after the gambling battle ends, the safe will automatically trigger a special signal and call Thomas, Borna and Huang Xiangyu to come.
After verifying your identity, the safe will open and the information inside will be automatically spit out.
On the contrary, if it is opened in advance or violently, the data inside will be burned instantly.
It cost nearly 150 special survival points to upgrade this safe, which made Sumo quite distressed.
But as long as he thought that he could leave something to this world and bring some changes here, he still did it resolutely.
"I think the old priest will be scared to death by then!"
Su Mo grinned and couldn't help but want to laugh just when that picture appeared in his mind.
"Why am I jumping up?" A sinister voice appeared in my ears.
Sumo was startled, and when he turned around, he found Thomas standing next to him.
"Damn it, why are you like a ghost, walking without making any sound?"
"Shadow walking technique, eighth level divine technique."
Thomas spread his hands and said, "Chief, I think you should stop instilling it for a while. You are still a sixth-level priest after such a long time, and Borna has brought back so many high-level magics that you are not even interested in taking a look. .”
Although Soma has poured energy into hundreds of people in the past six months and forcibly promoted all first-level priests to second-level priests, to this day, Thomas still doesn't quite understand why he did this.
In the world of faith, a sixth-level holy priest is far more important than a hundred second-level priests.
A ninth-level holy priest is more important than ten thousand third-level high priests.
Give up your own level improvement, and instead instill the experience gained through daily practice into others, this spirit of self-sacrifice for others.
Well, Thomas felt that he was not qualified to criticize Somo's behavior.
After all, the group of second-level priests are completely loyal to the tribe, and their faith in the Stone God has also exploded.
In a sense, at a time when holy priests do not have to defend themselves against external enemies, a large number of second-level priests have indeed alleviated many conflicts that may arise in the rapid development of the Fire Fist tribe.
Teams of residents led by them participated in the development of the tribe in an extremely harmonious manner.
Especially the competition system created by Sumo, if it can develop as planned, hundreds of villages and towns will be born under the Fire Fist tribe in the future.
"Why do I need such a high level? Aren't you enough for me?"
When it came to cultivation, Somo seemed to be a different person. He sat down lazily, and his bones were all soft.
If it weren't for the purpose of instilling energy and attracting more followers, he wouldn't be too lazy to find someone to practice the greeting skill every day.
"I'm old. I can protect the Fire Fist tribe for a while, but I can't protect the Su clan leader for a lifetime."
Thomas puffed his beard and glared angrily, "I heard from Huang Xiangyu that you haven't handled government affairs for a month, right? My old man is still fighting on the front line every day. Why do you, a young man, plan to retire?!"
"Fuck, this kid has just been promoted to the fifth level priest, and he dares to say bad things about me!"
Sumo curled his lips.
However, Thomas did not end the topic as usual. Instead, he advised earnestly, "If you plan to let Huang Xiangyu take over these complicated government affairs, it is also a good thing. You should calm down and practice to the ninth level priest as soon as possible. When we don't have to be afraid at all, Any tribe can start leaving Crack No. 37!”
"Leave, why did you leave?"
Sumo shook his head and interrupted, "Priest Thomas, we did not come here just to be king and dominate. So what if we go to the No. 1 rift? So what if all the tribesmen are priests?"
The two of them had never discussed this topic before, but now that it was brought up, Thomas was a little stunned.
"You're not going to leave?"
"Of course I have to leave." Sumo chuckled, "But it's not about leaving Crack No. 37, it's about leaving this damn wasteland and returning to Earth."
"Earth."
Thomas murmured these two words and gradually fell into thought.
It’s such a strange and distant word.
It is so far away that it is difficult for human beings living in the world of faith to think of these two words unless Sumo mentions them.
The two were silent for a while.
Thomas shook his head imperceptibly, his body quickly flattened and slid into the shadow of the room, and then disappeared from Somo's sight.
He's gone.
It's not that I don't want to continue talking about this heavy topic with Somo, but I need to find a place to relieve my negative emotions.
"What he said is right. To leave is to leave this wasteland and return to the earth."
Thomas glanced back hard.
Through the interface between the shadow world and the real world, Soma was still half lying on the stool with a calm expression.
And those dark eyes seemed to be reflecting a blue planet!
Time passed day by day, and before I knew it, there was only the last day left and the gambling battle was about to end.
Early in the morning, the game panel announced the tribes shortlisted for the Battle of Faith, as well as the scores of all tribes.
"How did this score come about? Is it that each believer is counted as one point and weighted according to the level of belief?"
Sumo flipped through the panels in confusion.
[Fire Fist Tribe, camp: human, ranking: 1, belief score: 871530. 】
[Ten Thousand Snakes Tribe, camp: Alien, ranking: 2, belief score: 17210]
[Red Leopard Tribe, camp: Alien, ranking: 3, belief score: 16990]
【.】
[Changshui Tribe, camp: human, ranking: 99, belief score: 16050]
【.】
There are a total of 10,000 tribes shortlisted for the battle of faith.
Among them, there are 1,100 humans and 8,900 aliens.
From top to bottom, except for the Fire Fist tribe's cliff-like lead among the top 100 tribes, the gaps between the other tribes are not big.
The gap between the second-placed Wanshe Tribe and the ninety-nine-placed Changshui Tribe is only a little over a thousand.
Only at the 800th place was there a big gap, and the score suddenly dropped below 10,000.
At the same time, human tribes only occupy eighty-four places among the top one thousand in the rankings.
It seems that there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides, but as long as one sees the huge gap between Soma and the second place, no one will think that the alien race will have an advantage in the next battle of faith.
"With 10,000 finalists, how will the next battle of faith play out?"
Sumo looked forward to it.
On his last day in the world of faith, he didn't say goodbye to anyone, or even behaved in any unusual way.
In the morning, after breakfast, I started saying hello and gaining experience.
At noon, a lucky first-level priest will be randomly selected and turned into a fan of the Stone God. In the afternoon, we inspected the development of the Fire Fist tribe, especially the recently launched Fire Fist Dam, which is an important livelihood facility related to hundreds of thousands of people.
In the evening, after dinner, Somo went to the small bar in Fire Fist Town to drink two glasses of double-distilled wine as usual.
Thanks to the fact that he, the patriarch, came from a humble background, he had never put on airs with ordinary people.
Another wealthy resident paid for this meal, and he even found a camera from nowhere and insisted on dragging Somo along to take a photo.
"It's just this once, it won't happen next time!"
Sumo smiled, held the other person in his arms, and recorded a precious photo.
By the time I left the bar, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.
Somo walked aimlessly in the Fire Fist tribe, and naturally there were no extra guards accompanying him. After all, he was still a sixth-level holy priest.
If you can be attacked in your own tribe, there is no point in sending more ordinary guards.
Furthermore, if tribes want to start a fight between tribes, they must first find the other side's high priest.
There is a possibility that one of Somo's clan leaders will be targeted, but the probability is so small that it can be ignored.
"Without farewell, there is no sadness."
"Perhaps it won't be long before I come back again."
Standing on a high place, Sumo looked at the sparks below. That was Fire Fist Town, which was ten times more prosperous than Yunbu.
What Xia Fenghan couldn't do in eight years, he did in half a year.
If he could be brought back to life, he would be so angry that he would die again.
[Record]: There are only five minutes left before the end of the gambling battle. It is detected that the player ‘Suma’ has obtained the qualification to participate in the battle of faith. Do you choose to enter the faith space?
[Record]: You can choose to enter now or enter after the time expires.
"Enter."
Soma didn't hesitate.
As he finished speaking, a familiar gray light fell from the sky.
Immediately afterwards, his figure shattered between the worlds like a bubble.
Under the shimmering light, there seemed to be tens of thousands of dazzling halos flashing back and forth.
Soma closed his eyes and waited quietly for the transmission to end.
Wow.
It wasn't until the familiar sound of waves rang in his ears that Somo opened his eyes and found that he had arrived at the Island of the Gods.
With the blessing of many beliefs, the space of this island has long since expanded to tens of thousands of acres.
But at this moment, bound by the dim light, he did not appear on the island, but floated in mid-air.
Boom.
A bolt of lightning struck, and the Island of Gods began to roll crazily.
I saw the island rising out of the sea, as if being rubbed by a huge force, and soon formed a huge ball.
Then the ball was quickly kneaded into a human shape, gradually forming the appearance of a Soma with abnormal attributes.
"Is this shaping me?"
From top to bottom.
From hair to skin.
Sumo watched the huge clay sculpture taking shape in surprise, feeling an inexplicable sense of weirdness and intimacy.
The weird feeling is because the clay sculpture in front of you is really huge. It is roughly estimated to be nearly a hundred meters high, like a giant standing tall on the sky and the earth.
Especially as more and more details are created, the clay sculptures become more lifelike, without the rigidity of ordinary statues at all.
The intimacy comes from the appearance of the clay sculpture, which is completely shaped by him.
It's like looking in a mirror. Even if the person opposite is much bigger, I can't resist the feeling rising from the bottom of my heart.
After almost two minutes, the clay sculpture finally came to an end.
Looking at it now, Somo could no longer distinguish the authenticity of the clay sculpture with the naked eye. It was like he was standing there smiling after being magnified countless times.
"What are you doing?"
Somo was slightly surprised, but unexpectedly, the faint light suddenly enveloped him and rushed towards the center of the clay sculpture's forehead.
boom.
Seeing the clay sculpture getting closer and closer to him, Somo subconsciously raised his hand to block it in front of him.
But when there was only the last meter left, a hole suddenly opened in the center of his forehead and he was swallowed in.
[Record]: The formation of the body of faith has been completed, and we are heading to the Struggle of Faith Dojo
[Record]: Please wait, the transmission will start in five seconds.
[Record]: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, start transmitting!
Game prompts appeared quickly, and before Sumo could observe the situation inside the clay sculpture, an unprecedented dizziness rushed to his head.
The world in front of him began to become strange and bizarre, with distorted murmurs and scattered lights and shadows everywhere.
Everything became incomprehensible, like a small fish being fished out of a pond and released into the sea.
Unable to observe.
Inaccessible.
It wasn't until the dizziness disappeared that Sumo found himself in a long and narrow passage going forward.
The style of the passage is very similar to that of old-fashioned aquariums on Earth.
A person stands in the middle of the passage, with curved frosted glass on both sides and above his head.
However, in the haziness, Somo could not see the fish swimming inside, but instead there were countless eyes filled with murderous intent and hatred.
"Such a grand welcome ceremony?"
Sumo couldn't help but lick his mouth, and his calm mood suddenly became excited.
If an ordinary person saw this scene, they would definitely faint on the spot.
But now, he had a strange feeling.
The owners of these eyes are none other than the alien gods peeping outside the Boulder Star Territory!
"Do you want to watch me win my first gambling battle with your own eyes?"
Sumo grinned and walked towards the end of the passage without fear.
step.
step.
More and more eyes began to disappear, replaced by giant beasts one after another.
There are giant apes that beat frosted glass and roar to form black and blue lightning.
There is a black tiger that exudes the smell of plague and makes people shudder.
There are also red centipedes with tens of thousands of jointed limbs that repeatedly climb back and forth behind the frosted glass.
All the creatures showed unconcealable murderous intent. If they were given a chance, they would definitely rush in and devour Soma.
But the seemingly fragile frosted glass isolates them all, making it reassuringly solid.
