Chapter 271: Re-Entering the Sea Soul Hall
When Khorne integrated the [Beast] priesthood, it announced the end of the reward ceremony. The core members got the passes to ascend to the gods, and the backbone and peripheral members also received a large number of material rewards. All in all, everyone was happy.
At this time, the number of priests left in Qiao Yang's hands has also shrunk sharply. Currently, there are only six left, mainly Ian's, and one of Musk's [theft] priests.
The status of this priesthood is very embarrassing, because there is no suitable candidate for this priesthood among the core members, so after a short consideration, Qiao Yang privately gave it to Guerui.
The reason given to him is also very simple. First of all, he is a vampire and a rogue, and his compatibility with the [Theft] priesthood is the highest.
In addition, the priesthood potential he possesses is not very high. Adding an additional priesthood can be regarded as a supplement to the priesthood field. One cannot favor one over the other.
After dealing with the last redundant priesthood, Qiao Yang was finally able to integrate Ian's remaining priesthood with peace of mind.
The first is the [Darkness] priesthood. Qiao Yang has mastered the dark field, so there were no problems during the integration process. Surprisingly, Ian's remaining spiritual will did not make any resistance when encountering his divine power. , even took the initiative to open the channel, and seemed to be leading the way, which is difficult to comment on.
I originally thought that Ian might have some backup plan, but with the fusion of the remaining priesthoods, the process almost perfectly replicated the situation in the first round of fusion.
Soul, night, death, eternal sleep, these priesthoods can almost support a powerful god. Even if there is no resistance, it will take a long time to complete the fusion.
However, with the acceptance of Ian, the "leader", Qiao Yang put his own spiritual mark on all the priesthoods without any effort, and Ian, the god of shadow and darkness, also completely fell. It doesn't matter if His followers are still there, because there is no trace of His existence in the multiverse.
"Tsk, because you are so sensible, I can be a little more merciful when I meet the gods of the Eberron pantheon in the future. I hope they are worth your efforts."
Qiao Yang whispered to himself, not sure if he was talking to the fallen Ian or to himself.
Compared with Faerun, which is recognized as "brutal" by other great pantheons, Eberron is indeed a relatively peaceful pantheon. There, the battles between the gods are often based on the establishment of contracts, and then the decision is made through gambling. A dispute was won or lost, with the winner taking the spoils and the loser providing the spoils. There were rarely wars between gods.
In many cases, the powerful gods of the Eberron pantheon may not have much fighting power, but their scope of belief is very broad. This is because their gambling capital may be their priesthood. Everyone has their own wins and losses. There is no eternal winner, and there is no forever. For the loser, the priesthood is more like a public one. Whoever has stronger card-playing skills (no) can reasonably enjoy more power of faith.
Perhaps only here can we see such a peaceful "war between gods". It is more like having fun than fighting. At least compared to the Faerun divine system where two gods fight and there are bound to be casualties, any weak one A Faerun god with equal divine power would most likely be able to kill an Eberron god with medium divine power in actual combat.
It sounds exaggerated, but in fact it is true. It is estimated that only a few Eberron gods from the evil camp can stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods of the same level in Faerûn.
After the priesthood representing the core power of the gods is successfully fused, the remaining divinity and godhead are very simple. Faced with Qiao Yang's unreasonable invasion, the messy spiritual will cannot even effectively resist, and it will be destroyed in a short time. The defeated army that was killed finally became part of his power
As the remaining spiritual will was mercilessly wiped out by him, Qiao Yang's soul once again completed a sublimation and reached a new level, that is, powerful divine power.
Although the conferring officials threw out a large amount of divine power and divine power, after absorbing the rest, Qiao Yang's own divine level and divine level also reached a powerful level.
But at this moment, Qiao Yang had no time to pay attention to the benefits of soul promotion. He was horrified to find that his memory was fading rapidly. In just a few minutes, he had forgotten most of his experiences on the earth.
In addition, he couldn't remember the details of the award ceremony just now. If he stayed like this and did nothing, there was only one result waiting for him, and that was to forget everything and become a person who couldn't remember anything. The empty shell of a terrifying fighting machine.
"Marquis, tell me to go down and repair these days. I have something very important to do."
The grand ceremony has ended long ago, and the remaining people are having a banquet to celebrate this memorable day. Every year in the future, today will be the grandest festival in Ashes City. They are also the ones who have witnessed history, so naturally they are Open to relax and have fun.
At this time, Qiao Yang's voice sounded in Marquis's mind, and he immediately replied without hesitation:
"As commanded."
Not getting a response is normal, but not normal either.
After thinking about it, he notified other core members through his divine power, and after a quick exchange of glances, everyone came to the same conclusion, that something happened to Qiao Yang.
"It is announced to the outside world that the captain is retreating to sort out his harvest. The future development plan has long been decided. We, the people, can mobilize all the resources of Ashes City, just like usual."
Oriath's expression was very calm, and she made a quick response plan. It can only be said that she is worthy of being the former Queen of Winter, and her administrative abilities are really full.
"This is the only solution for now. We may have to be prepared that the captain will not be able to return for a long time. Guys, we can't let him be the King of Time."
Marquis rarely spoke a lot, and everyone did not object. Instead, they discussed the next development plan. What was originally a discussion about what to do during Qiao Yang's absence suddenly turned into a different kind of "meeting" , everyone is in high spirits.
At the same time, the Sea Soul Palace.
"You...are beyond my expectations."
It was still a familiar voice, but this moment, the other moment, today was different from the past. Even the endless sea couldn't help but be surprised by the power Qiao Yang had mastered.
"I said I was forced to do nothing, do you believe it?"
Qiao Yang shook his head expressionlessly. The human part was being peeled off from him at a rapid rate. In an hour at most, he would completely lose his humanity.
"Xin, your situation is very simple, but the solution is very complicated."
He didn't waste time. As the divine choice of the Endless Sea, he didn't want Qiao Yang to reach that point.
"Your soul is too powerful, but the jump in life level is far unable to keep up with the speed of your soul's evolution. If you want to solve the problem, you must keep the strength of your body in sync with your soul. To put it bluntly, The balance of your spirit and body has been broken, that’s why you have such side effects.”
This explanation is quite simple, but it explains Qiao Yang's current situation and the corresponding solution in one sentence.
But as he said, the principle is simple but the operation is quite complicated. With Qiao Yang's current level of strength, it is quite difficult for his body strength to keep up.
"Also, I recently gave myself a name. You can call me Sea Soul."
He added one final sentence, and he didn’t know if it was a rise or something else, but he actually gave himself a name.
"Is there any short-term suppression method? The mother of flesh and blood will not wait too long. Of course, the gods will not give me time to develop. You should be very clear on this day."
It is unrealistic to instantly increase the intensity of the Divine Comedy. This root cannot be removed for the time being, but since Haihun has raised it, there must be a temporary solution. Otherwise, there is no need for him to raise it, and he can only watch him fall into self-collapse. Finally died violently.
At this moment, Hai Hun said nothing. The next moment, an extremely thick force burst out, directly sealing the unstable part of Qiao Yang's power.
"Origin. Seven-star ban!"
As the power of seven bright stars was imprinted on his chest, Qiao Yang, whose emotions were weakening, suddenly felt less uncomfortable.
Slowly opening his eyes, for a moment, he felt that the scene in front of him was a bit blurry. If it weren't for Haihun's iconic voice that woke him up, he wouldn't have been able to react for a while.
However, Hai Hun's condition was not much better at this time. The magnificent palace became shabby, and a figurative figure suddenly appeared in the center. He was probably only seven or eight years old, and it was hard to tell. The only thing that doesn't match the image of men and women is the pair of blue eyes, which are deep, vast, ancient and vicissitudes of life.
All relevant adjectives can be added to it, these eyes are really shocking.
"Are you... a sea soul!?"
Qiao Yang took a deep breath, his expression showing undisguised surprise. He didn't expect that the world will of the Endless Sea actually had a concrete existence.
"I only have the last bit of my origin left. Unless I take back the part of my lost power from the Mother of Flesh and Blood, I can only appear in this form."
Having said this, Hai Hun paused and then said:
"Moreover, I have lost control of the endless sea. You should know what this means better than me."
He slowly stood up and came to Qiao Yang with staggering steps. His eyes looked at Qiao Yang without any impurities.
"How long can a ban be suppressed?"
Qiao Yang's eyes did not flicker, but he did not answer Hai Hun's question, but asked about the duration of the seven-star ban.
"If you use all your strength, it can last for a day at most, but if you use half of your power, it can last for a month. Of course, if the power you use is lower than that of a god, it can last forever."
A mixed message, it seems that Haihun's remaining power is less than he thought, otherwise he wouldn't have paid such a high price to reach this point.
"does it worth?"
"I don't know, but since Chaos has chosen you, I can join in. After all, I have no way out."
Hai Hun's tone was still so unhurried, but Qiao Yang could clearly see that his age seemed to have regressed by about half a year.
"Is age a sign of your remaining strength?"
"That's understandable at the moment."
The dilapidated palace returned to silence again. The two looked at each other speechlessly. For a long time, Qiao Yang broke the calm and said calmly:
"How much do you know about the void?"
"The power within you is still the essence behind it."
He had a basic understanding of the power Qiao Yang had, so he knew the information about the Void Magic.
"If it is the magic that the tree has blessed you with, then it is the residue of the power of the void. If it is the essence behind it, they are very dangerous. Even when I am victorious, I don't want to provoke them. As far as I know, the Drifting City you control now has a secondary channel connected to the void. If it is not necessary, I don't recommend you to explore it."
Something that can be treated so seriously by Haihun must be very dangerous, but there is the Mother of the Void in front and the gods who may come at any time behind, leaving Qiao Yang with little time.
After a long silence, Qiao Yang suddenly laughed, with a bright light in his eyes.
"Want to go and see? How about a gamble."
"But we may not be able to come back."
Haihun blinked his eyes, and it can be seen that his heart is not as calm as it seems on the surface, that is, he is moved.
"What are you afraid of? Sometimes if you don't push yourself, you don't know how much potential you have. I won't talk about the flag. Don't you want to take back your power from the Mother of Flesh and Blood with your own hands?"
"Do you have a way to avoid the erosion of the void?"
This time it was Haihun's turn to ask questions. The essence of the void is "nothingness". All beings that go deep into the void will lose everything without knowing it, including but not limited to power, body, and even soul.
"Yes, and there is no consumption, but there is a prerequisite, you have to become my crew member, the kind recognized by the rules."
Qiao Yang finally showed his fox tail. As early as the first meeting, he had planned it, but it was only today that it was possible to implement it.
The captain and adventurer system is the embodiment of the rules exclusive to the Endless Sea, so Haihun, as the will of the world, can naturally become a crew member.
"..."
"Okay."
After a brief thought, Haihun agreed to Qiao Yang's suggestion. He had made many gambles before, and this time was not bad. If he succeeded, he would get thousands of times the return.
"Special reminder: The Black Candle Fleet has added a [special crew member]. Your fleet speed has been increased by 500%, the ship item efficiency has increased by 300%, the ship durability has increased by 300%, and the ship..."
When Haihun became a member of the Black Candle Fleet, a large number of prompts appeared in front of Qiao Yang, as if he had eaten Xuanmai, and he couldn't stop at all.
One after another, special gains were applied to the fleet, from basic items to some special places, all of which were extremely horrible. The reason for all this was just that Haihun became a crew member.
Looking at the expressionless Haihun, Qiao Yang smiled.
"Thank you."
