Chapter 256 Negotiation and Confrontation
"cooperate?"
Qiao Yang was a little surprised. He really couldn't figure out how this ancient god who had existed since the birth of the multiverse could cooperate with him.
The most important thing is that Lady Night is not a benevolent god. His alignment is neutral evil and has not changed from beginning to end. In other words, his starting point is himself, and everyone who has cooperated with him will eventually become evil. Inexplicably disappeared.
Only a few beings with equal strength can have a happy cooperation with the Lady of the Night, the most famous one being the Spider Queen-Rose.
"Isn't it also you [Si Yu] who is wandering in the outer sea, or is it your incarnation?"
Shar did not directly answer Qiao Yang's question, but revealed Qiao Yang's secret.
Of course, this kind of secret is only Shar's unilateral view. At the beginning of the Saint Catastrophe, his actual combat power is not weaker than the powerful divine power. He is no longer afraid of any threats within the boundless sea, even Shar's incarnation. is also like this.
"As expected of the Ancient One, I hid it so well and you discovered it."
Qiao Yang said with admiration on his face, but it could be heard from his tone that his words could not be more perfunctory. Then he changed the topic and said coldly:
"If you are willing to expend your divine power to come here just to talk to me about these meaningless nonsense, I think there is no need to continue talking."
Faced with Qiao Yang's eviction order, Shar felt a little uncomfortable, but under the cover of the veil, there was no obvious expression of emotion.
"The Holy Catastrophe is an opportunity. You have more potential than any existence I have ever seen, so I want to invest in you. All you have to do is do a simple favor for me when I need it. ”
Shar also put away her original appearance, and her voice was like the ice of Jiuyou, which was terrifying.
He did not propose such nonsense as signing a contract. As beings of the same level, they all knew that in the face of absolute strength, the so-called contract was just a piece of waste paper and had no effect at all. Saying it would only aggravate the conflict. , after all, it is He Shar who wants to ask for help from others, so naturally he has to adopt an appropriate attitude.
Shar knew very well why Qiao Yang's attitude was so cold. He had existed for too long, long enough to make any god be wary of him dozens of times.
"This is the attitude that cooperation should have. Let's talk about it. I am very interested in your investment."
This is a lie!
Qiao Yang had secretly applied the effects of all the entries to his body. In any case, Shar was an evil god through and through. It was very necessary to stay vigilant. He didn't want to fall for it inexplicably. Faced with this ancient Or, what he did was not excessive at all.
If it hadn't been for the fact that what He came to was just an ordinary incarnation, Qiao Yang wouldn't have talked so much nonsense, but would have killed him with one strike.
"How about the [Forgotten] priesthood and the [Dark] priesthood, are they enough? This is just an initial investment, and there will be more in the future."
Qiao Yang's pupils dilated for a moment, and then returned to normal within a ten thousandth of a second. However, this point was accurately captured by Shar, and he couldn't help but feel relieved. It would be nice if there was a breakthrough, but he was afraid that this kid would not be able to get in. .
Shar thought he was on the fifth floor. The confrontation between him and Qiao Yang started when they first met. I have to say that this is indeed a difficult little guy, but his youth is his biggest weakness. This is what he negotiated. One of the chips.
But what he didn't expect was that this was also deliberately disguised by Qiao Yang. In this wave, he, Qiao, was in the atmosphere!
"It's a very tempting offer, but I don't really need it. You should know very well that these two priesthoods are not my core. Even if I get them, they are just the icing on the cake."
"But it can expand your power the fastest, and when you become a god, I will be your strongest ally, no one!"
Shar didn't seem to be afraid of Qiao Yang's rejection and further proposed more attractive conditions.
Qiao Yang is still accumulating. Based on the power he has, his prayers will definitely offend more than half of the gods. Although he is not afraid, the Black Candle Fleet under his command is not.
But it's different with Shar's positive support. The gods know very well how powerful Shar's power is. This is a great existence that is not weaker than the Lord of Radiance. Even if he feels unhappy, he will not go there. causing trouble during the ceremony of enthroning the gods.
"This makes me a little tempted, but I refuse!"
Qiao Yang smiled slightly. He didn't care about Shar's conditions at all. Free ones are the most expensive. It's a simple truth.
What's more, if Ms. Night can pay so much, then he is bound to get more generous rewards from Qiao Yang. What will he lose by then?
This is destined to be a business that is guaranteed to lose money but never make a profit. He has not yet reached the point where he will package and sell himself for short-term benefits. He will not do it now, and he will not do it in the future.
Being in a high position for a long time has made Shar forget what rejection means. This undoubtedly made him feel offended and even a little angry, but on the surface he remained calm and asked:
"Why? If you are worried about my conditions, I can postpone this time limit until the end of the Saint Catastrophe."
His meaning is obvious. If you are worried that I will go back on my promise, then you can fulfill it when your strength reaches its peak. This is a very sincere condition.
"I don't trust your incarnation. If you really want to cooperate with me, wait until you arrive in real form."
Qiao Yang's reply was very straightforward, and there was no gentlemanly demeanor. He was just a bandit leader. Kindness was given to his own people. Obviously, Shar was far from being his own person, unless He voluntarily accepted his "blessing", but this was obviously unlikely.
"Okay, I roughly understand your thoughts. I am presumptuous to come here today. We will see each other again in the form of a true god in a while."
Sha'er smiled and nodded, and then left the territory of Kelbok, as if he had never been there.
Looking at the dense test prompts on the information panel, Qiao Yang's forehead dripped a drop of cold sweat. God knows how much pressure he just had. It can only be said that he is worthy of being the oldest existence. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, He can launch countless attacks without anyone noticing with just one incarnation. If he hadn't resisted, the negotiation just now would not be so peaceful.
"Sha'er, huh, I hope you can still maintain the so-called arrogance next time we meet. You don't have much time left."
Qiao Yang was not surprised that Shar realized that "Si Yu" was also him, because He had too many priesthoods.
As far as we know, there are but not limited to - the dark region, night, hatred, loss, forgetfulness, sleep, nightmares, illusions, lies, deception, unrevealed secrets, secret places, betrayal, insidiousness, temptation, thieves, theft, murder, winter, and so on.
The double-digit priesthood is enough to push it to a level that ordinary people can hardly imagine, not to mention the unknown. In short, this is a very dangerous god. If it is not necessary, Qiao Yang does not want to have too much contact with Him, and it will definitely be bad.
The Lady of the Night has two completely different incarnations, one is the Night Singer and the other is the Dark Dancer. However, the one that just appeared is just the most ordinary incarnation of divine power, and it doesn't even have much divinity, but it is dangerous enough. It is likely that many gods who have just been promoted to powerful divine power are not opponents of His ordinary incarnation.
She is the most terrifying assassin and wanderer in the multiverse. To some extent, she is more dangerous than the Lord of Light. In their short communication, Qiao Yang noticed that He had a lot of priesthoods, such as [Darkness], [Murder], [Trickery] and [Underworld].
Qiao Yang didn't know the source of these priesthoods, nor did he want to know, but it was likely from other gods. In other words, in the period of time since the beginning of the Saint's Catastrophe, He had killed at least two gods, and they were not weak. His danger can be imagined.
And at the moment when Shar left, Qiao Yang saw something different through the perspective of the Fate Observer.
At that moment, a strange dark light emerged, and a hazy kingdom appeared behind Him.
"Great Divinity!"
Although he was not very sure, the boundless power made him subconsciously think of this result. Shar must have broken through to the Great Divinity!
This goddess possessed the power of the [Secret] priesthood, so even if she entered the Great Divinity, her kingdom of God [Shadow Realm] was hazy.
Taking a deep breath, Qiao Yang stopped thinking about it. It would take at least three months for the gods to truly descend, and he still had a long period of development time.
At the same time, the battle on Gelre's side had come to an end. The weakest incarnation of the God of Hunting had been completely blown up and disappeared.
The God of Hunting, Mara, and the God of Guardian, Aspire, were almost unable to hold on. In the end, they were blown up one after another with the perfect cooperation of Tina and others, leaving some divinity and godhood, which were divided up after a brief discussion by several people.
So far, Gelre's battle to become a god was declared over, and the believers of the three gods seemed to have been drained of their strength after seeing the fall of their own incarnations of gods. They were killed by Gelre's believers and the people of the Black Candle Fleet.
At night, the members of the Black Candle Fleet and the vampire believers held a celebration banquet together. In commemoration, the high priest designated today as the "God's Day", which became a fixed festival for the vampire clan.
Qiao Yang was also among them. He put aside his plans and relaxed with everyone, drinking and eating meat. The legendary chef Chen Angxing conquered everyone's taste buds again. The glowing food simply refreshed the three views of those who had never seen it. Finally, he gave the highest blessing-awesome!
If you look closely, you will find that there are more demons and tieflings. They are all crew members and blood clans who died in the battle of the gods.
At this time, Qiao Yang was lying on the main seat, sitting casually, with Tina and others around him. Geerrui could only take the fifth seat, but his believers had no opinion. Instead, they looked at the people at the top with awe.
They knew that even if their own gods became gods, their real strength was not as good as anyone sitting above him. In addition to believing in the theory of bloodline, the blood clan also pays more attention to the strong being respected.
What's more, these people are all allies of Geerrui. If it weren't for their help, the result of today's god-making ceremony would still be unknown. The most important thing is that the great existence named Qiao Yang is the captain of his own gods and the future main god.
Vampires are a highly intelligent race, so they naturally know what this means. In addition to respect, they only have incomparable gratitude in their hearts.
Qiao Yang enjoyed the rare comfort and casually checked the God Panel. Yes, although he has not yet performed the deification ceremony, he already has a God.

——————
Gerri's god template looks simple, but it actually contains a lot of meanings, and many aspects represent the core abilities of a god.
Although he was deified with the priesthood of [Vampire], he has many extended domains, so his believers are relatively wide, including vampires, wanderers, adventurers, etc.
The most easily attracted believers are still vampires. The spread of his faith within the vampires will not be affected in any way, which is enough to support him to accumulate the first batch of divine power.
In addition, there are believers. A believer of the Chaos Camp can believe in the gods of the Lawful Camp, but a priest of the Chaos Camp can hardly become a priest of the gods of the Lawful Camp. The final result is that the priest can only transform his own camp to the camp required by the gods.
The camps that Gelre bestows on priests are Lawful Neutral, Lawful Evil, Neutral Evil, Chaotic Neutral, and Chaotic Evil.
This is in line with the camp range of vampires, but they will be hostile to the existence of the Good Camp, so there will never be a Lawful Good camp among his priests.
Finally, there are the weapons that Gelre is good at. The gods have special abilities and can give their best weapons as a talent to their believers and priests.
In other words, his believers can automatically obtain the basic skills of using the Hidden Blade and Shadow Blade in battle. In the future, as long as they are Gelre's priests, they can get additional bonus effects when using these two weapons in battle. Of course, how much they can comprehend depends on their personal abilities.
This is the basic ability of the [God Template].
The most important point is that the God Panel can help Gelre to process the prayers of believers, including responding to the devout believers who connect to him, and automatically granting divine arts to the priests who believe in him, which is like a huge information processor.
In this regard, Gelre still benefited from Qiao Yang. As the main god, some special abilities can also be shared with his subordinate gods, which is very similar to the external god belief network.
Gelre will automatically receive all prayers and convert the power of faith. If something important happens, he can get additional message prompts.
For example, some believers discover the conspiracy of the gods of the enemy camp and want to tell him to pray for guidance through prayer, or a new priest is born and needs his first divine response!
Gelre can know this kind of more important things first and deal with them in time, and the god template will help him automatically filter those ordinary daily prayers.
After learning about this very useful ability, Gelre is more and more impressed by Qiao Yang, and at the same time he is more impressed by his wisdom at the time. If it weren't for the captain, becoming a god? I dare not even think about it!
After the ceremony of conferring the gods, everything gradually returned to the right track.
Qiao Yang's plan was still proceeding step by step. The spoils of destroying the three gods were sorted and classified as soon as possible and divided into two parts. One part was given to Gerri to use to recruit believers, and the other part was of course taken by the Black Candle Fleet. As Qiao Yang's core force, the resources needed were not much less than those for recruiting believers. (End of this chapter)
