Chapter 515: Wasteland Priesthood (22)
When Richard heard the words of the Immortal Monarch, he immediately became very interested.
The power of the gods consists of three aspects - divinity, divine power, plus authority or what is called - priesthood.
Life must first possess divinity before divine power can be born, which is one.
The birth of divinity requires igniting the divine fire, tempering one's body with the divine fire, and transforming from a mortal to a god before birth.
Authority and priesthood are alternative names for the power of rules.
Gods who do not have the power to control rules, even if they possess divinity and power, can only be called demigods.
Normally, demigods who have not reached level 30 hardly need to think about these things.
But what's interesting is that there are often some existences that go against common sense - the divine soul-Renee who resides in the statues of the ancient gods.
Before reaching level 20, he took control of the ancient divine tree with a wisp of rotten power.
Both of these are beings who have mastered the power of gods in advance.
What makes Richard curious is, what kind of power can the Immortal Monarch, an undead god, bring out?
Seeing that Richard's interest was aroused, the Immortal Monarch relaxed a little.
After what happened just now, he felt a little unsure.
I am afraid that my bargaining chip will be looked down upon by the other party.
In the past, he would have definitely scorned him. Will mortals despise the things he gave?
But in front of this human lord, he could no longer bring up such boring thoughts.
"Hundreds of thousands of years ago, a war between gods broke out across multiple dimensions, and I was forced to participate in it."
"In the later stages of the War of the Gods, I encountered an enemy who was about to step into the upper realm of the gods - the god who came from the wilderness: the God of Wanderers."
"In the battle of gods, there is no right or wrong."
"We had a devastating God War that lasted ten years."
"Until the end, the God of Wanderers united with the gods of other wasteland gods to break through my kingdom."
"I was killed."
"But the price is that the power of the wanderer god was eroded by me. Before I fell, I sealed part of the opponent's power in my body."
"And that part of the power contains part of the priesthood of the God of Wanderers."
"If the other party kills me completely, it must be destroyed along with that part of his power."
"The God of Wanderers naturally refused to surrender to a withered skeleton. After my death, the other party established this sealed land and wanted to use time to corrupt my body so that his power could resurface. ”
Speaking of this, the Immortal Monarch's tone was somewhat sarcastic.
"But what that idiot didn't expect was that he would also die soon after."
"After this sealed land lost its owner, it began to decline, and I also returned."
"The wanderer's divine power that was sealed in my body has been preserved because of this sealed land."
"Although a lot has dissipated, the most important authority, the power of rules that you call the priesthood, is still there."
Richard also didn't expect that there were so many lucky secrets in it.
After coming back to his senses, his eyes couldn't help but become hot.
This undead god gave him a bargaining chip that was hard to refuse.
The Immortal Monarch said in a deep voice.
"Your Excellency, I can pour this power of authority into the sealing stone. The power of the centaur's soul relies on this sealed land."
"When its soul returns to the main body, it will directly inherit this authority."
"Are you satisfied with this?"
After Li Cha calmed down his emotions, he said solemnly.
"This deal is very fair, but how can you ensure that the transaction between us can proceed normally?"
"How can I ensure that you will not pose a threat to me after you leave?"
"How can I guarantee that you will not be my enemy in the future?"
The two parties are now enemies rather than friends, and credibility in the transaction process is the biggest issue.
Neither side trusts the other very much, and both are wary of each other.
Although he holds the statue of the ancient god in his hand, Richard is not sure of killing the opponent. Once the opponent abandons something and escapes, there will be endless troubles.
The Immortal Monarch had just revealed some of his methods. Even if Lorena could step into the shadow plane, she would not be able to deal with this weird method.
The Immortal Monarch was even more afraid of Richard, who had the power to kill him.
bet? You can gamble, but what’s the cost?
The rules of the world are changing. If you can't leave this time, you will never have another chance in this life.
How can you be willing to do so?
A great future is in front of you. If you take one step, the sea and the sky will be vast. It will still be the immortal monarch with supreme power, ruling over hundreds of millions of undead souls!
Even if there is only one level of chance of failure, he is not willing to gamble.
He has longed for this day for too long.
The Immortal Monarch said slowly as his thoughts were whirling.
"Then in your opinion, what should we do?"
"I believe that Your Majesty the Immortal Monarch should know the rules of the contract."
Richard stared at the god of the undead calmly.
"A god once signed a contract with me based on this rule."
The fire of the immortal monarch's soul swayed again.
Empty eyes stared at him.
It took a long time before he spoke again.
"It seems that your Excellency is more extraordinary than I imagined."
The gods have signed a contract with him. When it comes to other people, the credibility of this statement is questionable.
But the weight of the words of the person in front of me is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
The statue of the ancient god that swallowed the power of the gods is the best proof.
"Okay, take the oath."
Richard nodded.
The dark undead power surges in the immortal monarch.
The skeletal body exudes endless divine power.
At the same time, the human skin cloak behind him that seemed to have just been peeled off, with blood vessels still flowing on it, flew around, increasing the power tenfold.
"I - Cabrera, the god of the dead who controls the power of immortality, swear"
After a low oath, a familiar reminder sounded in Richard's ears.
"Ding~ The Immortal Monarch Cabrera initiated a contract with you with his soul under the witness of the contract rules - if you agree to the contract content, the contract will be witnessed by the rules. If you violate the contract, the other party's soul will be wiped out by the power of the rules. , and can never be resurrected.”
The moment the reminder sounded, a rush of information surged into my mind.
The content of the contract mainly includes three points. First, the Immortal Monarch made an agreement with him that within a hundred years, both parties shall not attack each other or harm each other in any way.
Second, within a hundred years, neither side can invade the other's territory or the Kingdom of God. You cannot harm any of the opponent's subordinates.
Third, within a hundred years, both sides cannot reveal the other's information to anyone, and no matter what the circumstances, they cannot use the army or send subordinates to join the other side's enemy camp.
This contract information is a spiritual power directly perceived by both parties, and there is no possibility of using words to deceive.
After Li Cha felt it carefully, he confirmed that it was correct and chose to agree.
As for the one-hundred-year authority, he didn't think much about it.
What the world will look like in a hundred years is anyone’s guess.
Whether the Immortal Monarch will still be alive a hundred years from now is a question.
When it comes time to unseal the contract, Twilight City already has the power to deal with the gods head-on.
At that time, what will happen if there is no contract?
The immortal monarch waited until the contract was signed, feeling an uncontrollable joy in his heart.
Now, the last trace of uncertainty has been erased, and the time for him to regain his freedom to take charge will soon come.
This is a new life that has been delayed for hundreds of thousands of years!
He will definitely reach a higher level this time!
After the contract was signed, the atmosphere calmed down.
The two sides changed from enemies to collaborators.
At least for a hundred years, the two of them will no longer be enemies.
"Your Majesty Cabrera, what should we do next?"
The Immortal Monarch turned his head and glanced behind him, his tone unprecedentedly relaxed.
"I will inject the power of rules that belongs to the God of Wanderers into the sealing stone."
"At that time, you only need to open the sealing stone to unblock it."
That power of rules was sealed within his body, not without a price.
It is no exaggeration to say that that energy has become his biggest drag.
It has even begun to erode his soul
His own power is incompatible with it. In his current state, the price he has to pay to control that power is not worth the gain for him.
The main reason why he fell asleep before was because he was thinking about how to strip away that power.
This is why he is so enthusiastic about sending out the power of rules.
For him, Richard helped him instead.
Richard didn't know the twists and turns, it was enough that the result was good.
After pondering for a moment, he said softly.
"On Emerelda's wrist, there is an inscription about opening the sealed place."
"But she has fallen into a deep sleep"
The Immortal Monarch's eyes immediately lit up.
"No, can you bring the centaur? The process will be simpler if you have the key."
He also retains more power.
Richard nodded and immediately asked Alves to return with a squadron of stone statues of the dead.
After the army left, the air fell into silence again.
Neither party spoke.
After a while, the Immortal Monarch seemed to have thought of something and said with some curiosity.
"Your Excellency Qingqiu, are you really the Lord of Divine Grace who has only been in this world for less than a year?"
Richard laughed and gestured to the unlucky ones on the ground who were beaten to pulp.
"It's natural. Those Lords of Divine Grace didn't talk to you about the outside world??
"That's why I'm surprised. In less than a year, after growing up to this extent, maybe the world has changed even more than I imagined."
The immortal monarch's hollow tone contained a rare emotion.
Hundreds of thousands of years of slumber, too long.
Richard thought of the crimson moon hanging in the sky and said slowly.
"Your Majesty, maybe the changes don't stop there. When you go out, you will face a whole new world."
After the crimson moon rose, he had not had time to go to Solan City.
At this time, I don’t know what actions Windsor and the old man from Red Dragon Grocery Store, who have recovered their demigod power, are doing now.
Windsor's goal is to eradicate the gods in the sky
Maybe it won't be long before we can hear their movements again.
The rise of the crimson moon is just the beginning.
In addition, Weier also sent news that the master of Solan City, the legendary ascetic monk, wanted to see him.
I don’t know if this is good or bad
In deep thought, Richard waited for more than an hour before the departing army returned.
Alves carried the sleeping Emerilda on his back and flew safely under the escort of the stone statue of the dead.
Returning with the army, besides the original army, there was also a hazy figure.
The other party stood beside Emerelda, silent and silent.
The moment the immortal monarch saw that figure, the fire of his soul beat brightly.
"Tyron? God of deceit and lies?!"
Subconsciously, he turned his head to look at Richard, who came forward to greet Emerelda, with unsettled thoughts in his mind.
The other party relies on this god?
Although in my heart, I don't like this infamous lower god very much.
But at this moment, he could only remain silent.
Richard came behind Alves, nodded to the illusory god of fraud and lies, and said nothing more.
He looked down at the little centaur who was still unconscious.
The joy in my heart dissipated a bit.
He leaned over and gently took the other person's wrist, revealing the golden inscription.
"Your Majesty Cabrera."
The immortal monarch, who was already approaching, immediately became excited after seeing the inscription.
"Totem of the Wanderer God!"
"Yes, this is the key!"
He glanced at Emerelda and said softly.
"You don't need to worry. There is nothing serious about this centaur. After the seal is broken and his soul fragments are repaired, he will be back to his original state."
"At that time, part of the authority of the Sealing Stone and the Wanderer God will also be controlled by her."
"This is opportunity."
In order to prevent him from escaping, the God of Wanderers deployed many back-ups in this sealed place.
If he destroys it by force, he will pay a heavy price.
The power of rules belonging to the wanderer in the body will also explode.
That's why he was so cautious. Now that someone was carrying the power of the Wanderer God in his body, his greatest restraint was undoubtedly lifted.
The God of Fraud and Lies said with great interest.
"The rules here are very strange. They are indeed the handiwork of the God of Wanderers."
"I have dealt with that guy before."
As he spoke, he looked towards the Immortal Lord.
"Sir Cabrera, I hope you can keep your promise."
The Immortal Lord nodded.
"I have signed a contract with Lord Qingqiu and I will not violate it."
He said it with great meaning.
"I didn't expect that Lord Tailong was standing behind Lord Qingqiu."
The God of Lies smiled and shook his head.
"No, I am not qualified to support Mr. Richard. Mr. Richard is now my protector."
Hearing this, the soul fire of the immortal monarch, who thought he had seen through Richard's trump card, swayed.
The other party is protecting him?
This.
Do they have an opposite relationship? ?
For a time, the figure surrounded by yellow sand became more mysterious in his heart.
Richard ignored the Immortal Monarch's mood swings. After calming down, he said slowly.
"Let's get started."
The Immortal Monarch looked at him deeply, then stretched out his hand to signal behind.
Be the first to turn around and leave.
When Richard saw this, he glanced at the God of Lies.
"Your Majesty Tyrone, please take care of me. If there is any danger, save Emerelda first."
Although there is a Hero Altar that can be resurrected, the situation is very delicate now.
He also couldn't guarantee whether Emerelda would be damaged after being resurrected from the Hero Altar.
The God of Lies nodded and looked at the heroic figure in front of him with some emotion.
This lord of divine grace always behaves unexpectedly.
It was like this in the Ta Clan plane, it was like this in the activated land, and it is like this now.
When he heard the news about the appearance of the Immortal Monarch, he thought that the other party called him to fight.
Unexpectedly, the situation was already controlled by the other party before he came to the rescue.
With the Immortal Monarch's current posture, it would be difficult for him to have another setback. It wouldn't take much effort to help look after the centaur One or Two.
The immortal monarch, who had no extra thoughts to begin with, was even more out of ideas after seeing the God of Lies.
Although the God of Lies has a bad reputation, he controls the priesthood of deceit and lies after all, so it is difficult not to see through his little intentions.
With external forces coming in to balance the situation, the relationship between the two parties became harmonious again.
Richard drove Alves, followed the immortal monarch, and returned to the ancient palace that had not collapsed just now.
Let Alves stay at the entrance, take Lorena and the God of Lies, make a bed of gravel and drag the little people into the hall.
The Immortal Monarch gestured to the bone altar in the center of the palace.
"Put the centaur on top."
"She is the caretaker here. All the forces are friendly and even dependent on her, so there will be no accidents."
Richard nodded, manipulated the gravel, and slowly placed Emerald on the bone altar.
The sealing stone surging with majestic energy, the fragment of the artifact, was right above her head.
After lying on the altar, the golden inscription on his arm began to shine.
The energy around him surged instantly.
The densely packed runes on the altar gradually became rippled.
When the Immortal Monarch saw this scene, he immediately stepped forward.
He pressed the physical arm on the altar.
An energy that did not belong to the undead surged out.
At this moment, Richard heard the prompt.
"Ding~ Your subordinate, the centaur Emerilda, is receiving a special inheritance and is taking control of the priesthood: Wasteland." (End of this chapter)
