Chapter 814: Life and Death
It is almost October, but the temperature has not dropped much and is as sultry as ever.
Li Chengqi opened the window and took advantage of the lower temperature in the morning for ventilation. The newly planted roses under the window sill were covered in dew and looked so delicate.
That was the rose cut by Adas herself before. Not only did it actually grow, but it was cultivated by God. It would not be surprising if it would become a flower.
After briefly moving his body a few times, Li Chengqi sat in the space capsule and turned on the computer.
The black hand port's hood has not yet been opened, and the night light that simulates the dark night is still on. Since it is still early, everyone is still sleeping, but I don't know how many people are having sweet dreams and how many are having nightmares.
What is the purpose of the unidentified fleet, what is the huge space object, what is Zanna's relationship with all of this, and where is the star map that suddenly appeared in the escape capsule? There is no answer to any of this.
Dad Puluo wrote a letter overnight yesterday, detailing Shanna and what happened recently, and planned to ask them to help take it out when the ship leaves port today.
Yes, even if there are starships flying all over the sky, I still have to write letters.
After all, the problem of long-distance magical communication has never been solved. If you want to contact friends who are too far away, you can only rely on cargo ships to carry messages.
I hope Mr. Pro's scholar friends can give a reliable explanation.
As the loading interface disappeared, the first thing that appeared on the screen was Fang Lanyin hugging her from left to right, with Villania on one side and Sanna on the other, which was actually a bit enviable.
But then again, as long as there's not another attack, it shouldn't be a big deal.
Viola hadn't gotten up yet, but Yang Yiyi was up and practicing under the white sky. After chatting with her for a while and asking about the itinerary, Li Chengqi suddenly felt like he had nothing to do. On-hook.
"What's for breakfast?"
"There's milk in the refrigerator, and there's some biscuits in the cabinet next to it."
"oh."
Aida also rubbed her eyes and went downstairs. Li Chengqi also planned to get up and find something to eat. He glanced at Viola one last time and suddenly remembered something.
He reached out and groped his chest and found a silver chain with a ring on it.
Aldai was afraid of losing the Demon King's Ring. She also knew her problem of throwing things carelessly, so she got a silver chain and hung it around her neck every day. She told Li Chengqi to take it away at midnight last night.
At that time, Li Chengqi was so sleepy that he just hung it around his neck and went to sleep. He almost didn't think about it in the morning.
Unlock the silver chain from the lock at the back, and you will see the gold ring as always, with lapis lazuli inlaid shining brightly in the morning light.
This Demon King's Ring is called the Ring of Dominance.
It feels a bit conflicting with the Ring of Power. After all, the godhead of kingship itself has the meaning of domination. The additional ring of domination is a bit unclear.
After taking a brief look at the properties of this thing, Li Chengqi put it on his left index finger. The ring buzzed slightly and shrank a little to fit his finger.
When he put on the ring, Li Chengqi, who was a little dazed at first, suddenly became energetic.
A very strong, itching feeling that I was almost close to consummation. It's like a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder sees a brick lying crookedly on the sidewalk and wants to pick it out and straighten it out.
I had this feeling before when I put on the third Demon King's Ring, but it was not as strong as this time.
Fortunately, this feeling only lasted for a moment. Apart from giving Li Chengqi a jolt and making him more awake, it had no other impact.
After looking at the Demon King's Ring in confusion, Li Chengqi turned to look at Viola's screen.
Every time you put on the Demon King's Ring, new functions will appear, and this time is no exception.
The first thing to notice is that the original upper limit of 400,000 faith points has now become 600,000. Each recycling of the Demon King's Ring will increase the upper limit of faith points. This is a standard operation.
There is a glowing plus sign on the icon of the miracle option. When you click on it, you will see that there are indeed two new abilities. One is called ‘life and death’, and the effect is literally what it means.
Li Chengqi can designate a mortal, resurrect him, kill him, give him power, or withdraw his power.
But you can't just specify any target. Except for believers, they must be demons. If they are non-believers of other races, this ability cannot be used.
This is quite consistent with the name of the Ring of Dominance. The most important right of the ruler is to take possession of life and death.
Another ability is called 'The Coming of the Saint', which is the most common method used by the gods when they want to descend to earth.
The arrival of the saint will create a divine clone. Since it has left the divine world, this clone is not a god, but it is not a mortal either, and possesses divinity and divine power.
Using this ability requires 200,000 faith points, which is the largest cost among all abilities.
The saint can continue to exist for 3 to 5 hours. When the time is up, it will automatically return and return half of the consumed faith points. This ability can only be used once a month and cannot be used continuously.
Lathander was once bullied because of his younger brother. A saint came down directly and personally went to regain the situation. He used this ability.
But there is a drawback.
Although the saint is powerful, he is not completely invincible. After all, he will no longer be a god after coming down. Even if there is a divine shield, it is equivalent to a distance that mortal hands can reach.
Once the saint dies, God's body will indeed be fine, but not only will half of the consumed faith points not be returned, but the upper limit of faith points will also be temporarily reduced by one-third for half a year.
This is also the reason why gods are more cautious about descending to earth. Once a saint dies, he will be weak for half a year, and there is no peace among gods. If your enemies come to attack you while you are weak, you will be in trouble.
Generally speaking, the biggest changes are these two abilities. There are relatively few changes. Li Chengqi looked around and couldn't find any other new options.
The ability to take life and death can only be said to be very consistent with the dominance of the Demon King God. If a believer dies in the future, you can try to resurrect him and show a wave of miracles.
What Li Chengqi is most interested in is the coming of the saint.
As mentioned before, Li Chengqi once tried to get into the screen by himself, but only his hands and feet, including his head, could get in, and his torso couldn't get in at all, as if there was a wall blocking him.
It is said that the true god cannot easily enter the mortal world. Once the true body of the god comes, it will tear the mortal world apart. It cannot withstand the terrifying true body of the god.
According to the ability description, the arrival of the saint will create a divine clone. It feels like there may be another powerful character on the screen that can be operated.
In the past, I always listened to Lathander and Idas talking about things like the coming of saints. This time I had the opportunity to try it myself.
The consumption of 200,000 faith points is not low, but it is still affordable. The main reason is that Viola has not had any need for Li Chengqi to interfere for a long time, and the faith points have already been maxed out.
Considering that a proper display of miracles would help spread the Demon King's religion, Li Chengqi clicked on the miracle option and selected 'The Coming of the Saint'.
Next, you are prompted to choose a place of descent. This place can be Li Chengqi's temple, or it can be next to a believer wearing a holy emblem.
Li Chengqi moved the camera to look around and chose the auditorium in the royal city, which was actually the place where Viola held the succession ceremony.
Since the temple in the City of Silver is still on paper for the time being, Viola specially had a large statue built and placed in the auditorium, which is also a temporary temple.
With a click of the mouse, Li Chengqi raised his head to see what the divine clone looked like. As soon as he raised his head, he felt that his field of vision was quickly rising towards the screen.
He looked back and saw another version of himself lying on the chair, his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.
"What the hell?"
With only this sigh left, Li Chengqi was sucked into the screen.
