Chapter 486: The Rise of the Abyss and the Establishment of the Edge Country! (Please subscribe)
The reason why Chen Shou wanted to re-create a "protagonist" was not because the witch did something to anger him.
It is based on the most realistic consideration, that is, the witch is old, and there are signs of corruption within the huge witch empire.
Despite becoming a demigod, due to changes in the rules of the world, demigods are not gods, but still humans, and cannot escape the human lifespan limit. While the witch looks young on the surface, she is actually already She is an old lady in her sixties.
For an older person, expansion is no longer the first choice, conservatism is.
Therefore, despite possessing demigod-level power and being the first human being, the expansion of the Witch Empire has actually begun to slow down. In this huge empire established by the Witch alone, after decades of development, the interest class has long been stable. It cannot be overturned casually.
Not only that, the new class that has mastered the mysterious power is no less oppressive to the people below it than the previous nobles. However, because they have mastered powerful power, this makes them Much harder to overthrow than the nobility.
Once such an empire stops expanding, the internal strata will solidify at an alarming rate and then become corrupted.
Because if many things cannot be obtained externally, they can only be obtained internally.
The best proof is that when the Kingdom of Witches was first established, it also absorbed slaves, civilians and even noble knights, giving them a way to rise. This was also the reason why the early combat power and morale of the Kingdom of Witches was soaring. reason.
But now, most of these promotion channels are occupied by various second generations, or relatives and friends. Official positions and power flow among these people, and the channels for ordinary people have become smaller and smaller.
History seems to be going back to the past. The farmer's son is still a farmer, the hunter's son is still a hunter, and the descendants of the master are still on the same path as the master.
So Chen Shou decided to increase the strength of these guys.
It is too easy for a single company to corrupt, so it would be better to have a few more competitors to put some pressure on it.
Otherwise, if it continues to develop, the Witch Empire may start to embark on the path of reverse potion system, that is, to firmly control the potion, whether it is materials or formulas, in its own hands, and would rather Shelved it, unwilling to spread it, lest it threaten its own rule.
This is what Chen Shouxuo doesn't want to see.
Heisang Town.
After taking the potion, blood was pouring from every pore in Aaron's body, and the breath of life quickly disappeared from his body.
Facts have proved that he is not the legendary chosen one, unable to turn misfortune into good fortune, but encounters a 90% chance of death. If nothing goes wrong, he will be very likely to die. I'm going to burp soon.
His original ordinary potion did not have such a fatality rate, but what Aaron took was not an ordinary potion. Instead, after the witch was promoted to a demigod, many people tried to restore the dazzling potion. behavior.
These potions are made from extremely precious materials. While taking them can gain powerful power, they can also bring serious side effects, and mortality is just one of them.
The blind old man was a strong man from a small country. By collecting various materials, he refined this bottle of potion that was close in shape to the Brilliant Potion. As a result, the news was leaked and he was swarmed. The coveted person was seriously injured, and although he escaped with the potion, he gave it to Aaron directly out of frustration.
If he is lucky, he will naturally survive and gain great power. If he is not lucky, it is bad luck.
“Let me think about it, what kind of ability should I give you?”
The leopard transformed by Chen Shou walked around Aaron twice, and when he was about to swallow the last When he breathed, he raised his paw and gently placed it on his chest.
Buzz!
A golden halo burst out immediately.
Immediately afterwards, the golden halo sank into Aaron's heart, deriving dense golden veins to the outside, spreading throughout the body like blood vessels, quickly absorbing the destructive potion power scattered in Aaron's body. stood up and gradually integrated into his body.
Dong-dong-dong. Soon, Aaron's heartbeat returned to normal, and the painful look on his face slowly disappeared, replaced by a healthy and rosy complexion.
Finally, these golden veins gradually disappeared, forming a mysterious mark on Aaron's eyebrows, like a blooming lotus.
"Go ahead, Saonian, the hook has been opened for you."
The leopard grinned, jumped into the flames again, and disappeared.
“Ahem!”
After a few minutes, Aaron woke up after coughing and looked around confusedly.
He originally thought he was dead, but now he found that not only was he intact, but there was also a powerful force in his body, and information quickly emerged in his mind.
"Professor, Saint?"
Aaron found that not only did he skip the step of being a mystic, but directly became a professional, he also changed his profession to an extremely rare sequence, named For saints.
Has the ability called redemption, which can heal and relieve other people's injuries, and can also be transformed into holy light to attack enemies.
Advance can be used to attack, retreat can be defended.
So Aaron was full of confidence and began to investigate the murderer who destroyed Heisang Town. However, this process was not as simple as he imagined. During the journey, he met many people, including friends and enemies.
Some people regard him as a savior, while others covet his power. Deception, betrayal, and killing all make this young man mature quickly.
Due to the saint's ability, he was naturally able to gather other people, so he soon had followers and had his own program of action, which was to build a more equal and peaceful country.
For the nobles in the past, it represented the advanced Witch Empire. At this time, it became the villain and broke out many conflicts with Aaron.
However, due to being on the edge, it was difficult for the empire to put more power here, and Aaron absorbed other forces and began to grow rapidly, establishing a loose federation of edge countries, and began to confront the Witch Empire .
This is undoubtedly a provocation and a threat to the empire.
So they began to deploy their troops and generals, preparing to completely destroy this marginal country with a thunderous force. But at this moment, an accident happened.
After the witch, a second demigod-level human appeared, but to everyone's surprise, this person did not belong to the nations, but a believer from the abyss, calling himself the Great Abyss. Priests who worship the great Lord of the Abyss.
The appearance of the High Priest of the Abyss gave a boost to the growing number of Abyss believers who were hiding in Tibet. A large number of believers began to gather towards him and occupied the barren land on the other side of the empire. , forming a pincer attack with the border countries, but the threat is even greater.
Although these Abyss believers did not establish a country, but called themselves the Abyss Order, and they conflicted with the original Abyss Priests and split into two forces, this did not prevent the Witch Empire from facing a powerful enemy. All the forces originally used to deal with the Edge Country were devoted to the Abyss Order.
After successive battles, after confirming that the Abyss Order could not be eliminated, the Witch Empire looked back and discovered that the Edge Country also took advantage of this time to rise, consolidate its power, and firmly establish a foothold.
At this point, the three major forces, the Witch Empire, the Abyss Order, and the Country on the Edge, have stood together, and the pattern has basically been formed.
