from Xingyuan

Chapter 1075: Wave Interlude: Crowd

"Hey, have you seen the news released by the Virtual Committee?"

"I've seen it. It's incredible. It's only been a short time since the merger of Yuanzhou and Zhou, and the Federation is already launching a war of unification? I've never seen anyone so impatient."

"Don't say anything, old friend. The government didn't say there was going to be a war. You see, the soldiers haven't been mobilized. Only our leaders have gone to the abyss. With these guys, who can do anything to them? Don't you think so?"

"I don't mind having to fight again. Who among us gods didn't roll out swords and guns? We can't lose this. I'm just worried that if we lose the war, Lai Anding will take the opportunity to capture us and pay the blood tax to make us work for nothing."

"Hey, you're overthinking it. Is our Commander Lioz that kind of person? He, Lai Anding, is from a logistics background. He usually just treats patients and gives birth to babies. How could he understand what it's like to fight on the front line? Our commander-in-chief has the momentum to fight his way through the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. He immediately stood in front of that guy with his sword drawn - hey, by that time, Lai Anding will definitely regret why he paid for his medical insurance with Yuanyuan."

"I'm not as optimistic as you are. In my opinion, the official statement is that it is to deal with potential armed conflicts, but even a legendary warrior like the head of state, Liantong Jio Ziagull, was sent out. What does this mean? It means that they want to use the Abyss to break through the boundaries and take the opportunity to ascend collectively."

"Just ascend, it's so strange."

"Haha, you are so ignorant, right? Let me tell you, the inside of the abyss is different from the outside. To ascend is to grab the godhood and the throne, and these things can only be dealt with by the evil gods in the abyss that have withered and scattered over the years. Conflict? Going to the abyss is for conflict! Our federation has arranged such a luxurious lineup, and the top combat forces have come out in full force, and it must be to compete for the godhood and throne of the main god. Then Lai Anding will definitely not sit idly by and watch our newly promoted main god, and will definitely intervene, and there is a high probability that he will send a tough guy."

"Oh, so according to you, this war between the groups must be fought?"

"Hard to say."

..............................

Du Zexin picked up two peanuts and put them into his mouth. He glanced at the Haines citizens at the next table who were speaking in high spirits, and said to Xia Erguinia in a teasing tone:
"These warriors of the Yuanyuan God Clan are quite simple. They never thought that there would be infighting among the top leaders of the Federation. I think this group is completely different from the legendary one."

"These people are not warriors. Most of them are slaves and cannon fodder gods liberated by His Majesty Leoz. Besides, the war outside the abyss was lost, and those defeated soldiers and remnants entered the Star Abyss. Without the restraint of the main god, they burned, killed, and looted everywhere to survive. How could they be good people?"

Charquinia was indifferent. Now that she was a mortal, she was only in charge of the religious affairs of Leoz.

It was already known to everyone that His Majesty Leoz was expected to be promoted to the Lord God, and no one could stop this process. No one was surprised by his descent into the Abyss.

After all, the throne of Mephidria is vacant, and the remaining three true gods are all trying to fight for the godhood of the main god lost in the abyss.

Everyone knows that Leoz will definitely dive down and participate in the battle for the Lord of Domination.

The reason why there is such a big fuss is that people are not paying attention to Leoz.

"Gio Skua, was He also so kind before?"

Curator Raguel Treki glanced at the goddess and asked:

"We Haines people have never heard of the myths of Xingyuan. This [God of Delusion Breaking] Geo Ziaul is very popular in Xingyuan. I wonder what his origin is?"

“It’s not that complicated.”

Xia Erqinia said lightly:
“To put it simply, Geo Jaguar is the successor of Doomfiss, the Lord of Destruction. From the very beginning, his talent and strength far surpassed anyone else’s.”

"Not only that, in the battlefield outside the abyss, Geo Jaguar is the Protoss warrior who has killed the most [Society] besides Leoz. He has a straightforward and generous personality and is kind to others. Even if they are his enemies, he will let them go if it is not necessary. Therefore, the public also has a good reputation for him."

"Noble status, excellent talent, guidance from noble people, and outstanding achievements - among the value management of Yuanyuan Warriors and his peers, there is no one more attractive than Geo Jaeger."

[White Knight] Yamo frowned when he heard this:

"But why do I feel that this person is a little...stupid? No, I'm not talking about his IQ, I just feel that this person is a little too naive..."

“Is it possible that his innocence was the reason why he was exalted by everyone?”

"……what is this?"

"If that's the case, I can probably understand why there's a conflict."

The curator stroked the back of the little stitched monster in his arms and expressed his own opinion:

"The conflict between Geo Jaguar and Rioz this time seemed to be due to the concepts of war and peace, but in fact, it was a dispute over Xingyuan's thought patterns."

"Thought pattern?" Du Zexin was puzzled.

"Let me put it this way. If you compare Rioz and Gio Jaguar horizontally, you will find that the two are almost mirror images. Gio Jaguar has everything that Rioz lacks. In fact, for Yuanyuan, Gio Jaguar is more suitable as a leader than Rioz."

"No, why?"

Du Zexin said dissatisfiedly:

"The Federation was founded by Leoz, the people were recruited by Leoz, and the territory was conquered by Leoz."

"And you said: That stupid, pure-blooded horned guy who showed up halfway is more suitable to be a leader?"

"I don't understand, and I don't accept it. This country was founded by Leoz. He has no political achievements or military exploits. Based on his background, who can obey him?"

"Yes, because of His origin."

Xia Erqinia said coldly:
"Mr. Du Zexin, do you think the world is fair?"

"...I never thought about it that way. If the world is fair, then why can an ordinary mechanic like me be resurrected, but those warriors who are stronger than me are not summoned by Leoze? Obviously, I also know that I was resurrected as a heroic spirit because of my good relationship with Leoze."

Du Zexin said frankly:

"I am also a beneficiary of this 'injustice', so it is impossible for me to admit that this world is fair."

"In this case, you have to accept this fact."

Charlequinia said:

"To the Yuanyuan God Clan, Geo Jaguar's origin is more important than Sir Rioz's fighting for tens of millions of years."

"In the Star Abyss, only death and class are insurmountable."

"These Origin Gods all come from Xingyuan. Even if they raise the banner of rebellion, do you think they are really fighting to break down the hierarchy?"

"No, I can tell you, Mr. Du Zexin. These warriors of the Protoss are not fighting for freedom at all, but for a master who is not as foolish as Leanding."

"Your Majesty, no matter how much power you monopolize, how much you concentrate power, or how cruel and murderous you are, at least you are doing this on behalf of the interests of the common people, the general public, and the lower classes."

"But those divine warriors, do you really think they are fighting for their own freedom?"

"Their thoughts have not changed. They have switched from the Laianding Group to the Zhenwu Party. Warriors are still warriors, cannon fodder is still as numb as cannon fodder, and slaves still want to find a master to order them around."

"To these numb gods, Leoz is nothing more than a conqueror. Only a legitimate and glorious lord like Geo Skua, who comes from a noble family, is what they desire."

"How can Lord Leoz's billions of years of war and slaughter compare to the innate talent and resources of the noble Yuanyuan? If anyone can reach the top through hard work, then the world will be in chaos! Everyone will only think about intrigue and constantly climb up. The past state of harmony between the monarch and his subjects, and everyone doing their own job, is gone forever. The entire country, civilization, and universe are controlled by small people, small citizens, and ordinary people, these mobs with no talent, no ability, and no resources."

"And such a world is something that these divine warriors cannot accept."

"They are not able to have children yet, but after defeating Leanding, the Lord God of Redemption will be absent, and the new Lord God will not be able to fully control the power in a short period of time. At that time, in order to maintain the number of the Yuanyuan God Clan, the new Lord God can only grant them the ability to reproduce - because the consumables for making the God Clan have almost been consumed."

"By that time, do you think that even if the Yuanyuan Federation unifies the Six Abysses and Thirteen Narratives, the mortals in the galaxy will still be able to compete with the powerful, thriving, and born-again Yuanyuan gods?"

"In other words, do you think the Yuanyuan Protoss really fights for national justice and the survival of civilization? There are definitely some among these people, but more people still treat this as a game."

"I'm not saying whether they have taken off the cognitive filter or not - even if the wedges in the neck are removed, the wedges in the brain are still not removed."

"The reason they are united around Leoze is not only because of his charm, but more because of the abundant benefits. As their numbers grow, the expenditure on benefits will inevitably increase. Sooner or later, these benefits for the Yuanyuan God Clan will increase to the point where even the resources of the Six Abysses and Thirteen Narratives are exhausted and cannot be supported."

"Where do you think the white desert of Yuanyuan came from?"

"Leanding has only produced less than 20 billion Protoss, and has already exhausted the resources of Yuanyuan. In order to maintain the Xingyuan Project, it has to implant cognitive filters to trick the Protoss warriors into continuing the war."

"And when both the cognitive filter and welfare cannot be maintained, then I would like to ask: Yuanyuan, what will you do?"

Du Zexin was silent.

"war."

White Knight said:
"A war that is even more brutal than Earth's invasion of Xingyuan."

"Xingyuan will launch a full-scale war to invade all universes. It will plunder and devour all worlds. Even the Destroyer will be unable to stop it."

"By that time, the great cause of unification that Lioz had undertaken would have helped Xingyuan build a terrifying war machine..."

"Wait a minute."

Du Zexin suddenly came to his senses:
"So that's it."

"Gio Skua, who seems to be compassionate, will kill more people?"

"And Leoz, who has always been a centralized dictatorship and a spy-governed country, is precisely the hero who maintains peace in Xingyuan?"

“Although it sounds a bit outrageous, as long as you understand Yuanyuan’s narrative, you will understand that this is not abrupt.”

Sharquinia said:
“This is destiny.”

"At this point, we can truly say that both Leoz and Gio Skua are still living in the cage of fate."

"Sir Leoz, seemingly liberating the Yuanyuan God Clan, is actually suppressing the status of his compatriots more and more. He even began to use all means to forcibly promote commoners to positions in an attempt to break the superior status of the Yuanyuan God Clan."

Yamo suddenly realized:

"I understand. That's why choosing Geo Jaeger is actually a way for the Yuanyuan Protoss to save themselves. He was released, and there must be some support from the Protoss' high-ranking officials behind him."

"I think that the release of Geo Skua is actually a reflection of Lioz's attempt to ease the conflict."

The curator puts forward a different view:

"If Leoz wanted to get rid of the old man, he could have deliberately consumed a large number of the Yuanyuan Gods during the void war, especially eliminating the elder gods such as Fu Shen, Ilevint, and Ye Zhangjian."

"Lioz attaches great importance to efficiency. Since He has ascended to true godhood, He will inevitably abandon His original humanity. Boring emotions will only waste time."

"But Lord Leoz did not do so. Instead, he gave them the status they deserved."

Charlequinia said:

"Although this can be understood as a political consideration, in order to win over as many comrades as possible in the Xingyuan Unification War, the fact that Sir Leoz made such a decision clearly shows that Sir Leoz still has some humanistic concerns."

"I wonder if it's because Sir Leoz hasn't completely lost his humanity yet," the curator asked.

"There is no such possibility. Ascending to become a god is the sublimation of the species level. For gods who do not need to reproduce, extra emotions are of no help. Unless..."

Charlequinia paused.

"Unless our Lord Leoz has already separated his personality and has an independent backup of his human side."

"This kind of thing..." The curator touched his chin and said, "We, the Heroic Spirits, don't know much about it. Who among you has accompanied Lord Leoz during his human period?"

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Du Zexin.

"Dont look at me."

Du Zexin spread his hands:

"At that time, I had been in contact with him for less than two months."

"The human Leozi, or Li Oz, is an idiot who is occasionally impulsive and emotional, not very smart and relies on his looks to make a living. He is also a terrorist who kills without blinking an eye."

"But even such a person as Li Oz, he has a very lofty ideal, hoping to break through the veil that blocks the blue planet and welcome the dawn."

He pondered for a moment and said:
"As a captive of the Entropy King who has surrendered to reality, I am not qualified to judge Li Oz."

"He is crazy."

"But this madman, although he is stupid, sentimental and unreasonable, and he kills people without mercy, but for this closed and corrupt bastard world, we always need some madmen to break the cage."

Charlequinia's eyelids drooped slightly:

"This is where the problem lies."

"If we simply regard the conflict between Rioz and Geo Jaguars as a personal conflict, then even if they fight a hundred times, it won't change the situation."

"The two divine warriors are fighting for the leadership of the mindset and the right to interpret that aspect."

"Influenced by his human nature, Leoz hopes to make a revolution and transform Xingyuan into a terraformed one. Through temporary bloodshed and sacrifice, he can gain long-term stable rule and prevent Xingyuan from defeating Earth and then following the old path of Earth invading Xingyuan. However, not everyone can accept this price."

"And Geo Jaguar's naivety can no longer be called naivety. Instead, he is maintaining the common interests of the entire Xingyuan Group in the old era while integrating Xingyuan's resources and slowly making improvements. Even if he ends up in a war that sweeps across the universe, it will at least be a long time in the future."

The curator looked at Sharquinia approvingly:

"You are worthy of being the Goddess of Truth. As a mortal who ascended to heaven, you are even smarter than most gods. No wonder the people of Haines call you the think tank of Leoz. If it weren't for your wisdom, Haines might not have been able to maintain peace for so long."

"Do not……"

Xiaerguinia was about to answer, but was stunned. She subconsciously touched her throat.

It was as if an invisible hand had grabbed her throat, strangling her ability to speak.

"If it were you, would you be willing to sacrifice yourself for the happiness of future generations, or would you just live in the present and put all your hopes on future generations?"

The next moment, a gentle and delicate hand rested on her shoulder.

"I think what you said makes sense."

Everyone looked over Xiaerguinia's shoulder and to her side. A little girl wearing a floral dress, who looked like the girl next door, was standing next to her.

"Good morning, every body."

The girl put one hand on Xiaerguinia's shoulder, and seemed to notice the gazes of others, so she raised her head, her silver eyes swept over everyone, and then she smiled brightly:
"Your conversation is so interesting, I couldn't help but listen for a while longer."

After the innocent and lovely girl finished speaking, she suddenly slapped her head and complained:

"Oh, look at my memory."

She glanced at the curator and the White Knight, the latter's face turning pale almost instantly.

"It's our first meeting, you don't know me yet, right?"

Compared to the others, Du Zexin was confused by the sudden appearance of the strange girl. He stood up, walked up to the girl and asked:

"I'm sorry, we are talking about private matters. This is not something children should listen to."

He looked at the girl and saw that she was only as tall as his chest. He estimated that she was not too old, so he took out a candy from his pocket and handed it to the girl:

"I don't know if you're from the Void or somewhere else, but this brand of candy is delicious. I'll share it with you."

"Oh, thank you."

The girl's eyes lit up and she picked up the milk candy from his palm:

"Little White Rabbit Milk Candy, the name sounds delicious."

The girl unwrapped the paper, picked up the candy and put it into her mouth. After chewing it carefully for a few times, her silver eyes instantly lit up:

"Wow, it's really delicious. It melts in your mouth but still has a chewy texture. It has a rich milky flavor and a sweet texture. I really haven't eaten something this delicious in a long time!"

Material? This kid is really not accurate in his choice of words.

But in this way, Du Zexin felt that this girl was even less threatening.

"Yeah, it's a pity that this brand of milk candy has to be imported from the Abyss. A place like the Void really can't run a food factory like this."

Du Zexin smiled and touched the girl's head:
"If you want to eat this brand, you have to buy it from the member states of the Temple of Annihilation."

"Thank you for the candy. I'm very happy."

The girl narrowed her eyes and smiled:
"Oh, by the way, little brother, I haven't told you my name yet."

Du Zexin sneered: "It doesn't matter, it's just a chance encounter..."

"Our name is Gaia."

The girl raised her hand from Sharquinia's shoulder, and the latter's figure immediately turned into fragmented points of light, drifting away with the wind, leaving only silence at the table.

silence.

Time turned into eternity in an instant. Thousands of words and unspeakable thoughts kept surging in everyone's head, but in the end they could not be converged into an effective and clear answer.

And after this brief silence, the silence was still broken by the girl herself.

"[Hidden Society] Gaia."

————————Boom!
The eaves are broken.

The girl's black hair fluttered in the wind, and the sharp blade of [Dusk Lord] fell from the sky, instantly slashing three inches in front of the forehead of the girl who called herself "Gaia".

Gaia glanced at the shining blade, and the void energy wrapped around it gradually disappeared.

She said calmly:
"You can only go so far and no further."

"Gaia!"

[Lord Dusk] Ira Dusco growls:

"Why—why are you here?!"

"According to the agreement, you should stay at the border of the Origin Abyss and block the passage between the Origin Abyss and the Underworld Abyss."

"Haven't you been like this for five thousand years?"

"Why are you floating up into the void now—"

Gaia raised her eyes:

"Noisy."

The next moment, the body of Lord Dusk Ira Dusco exploded and collapsed instantly, and every atom was randomly scattered into various dimensional universes.

Thus, the leader who controlled the void, possessed the strange godhood, the quasi-god of the eighth path of Xingyuan [Void], [Lord Dusk] Ira Dasco, shut his mouth forever.

[Grinding teeth]

[White Knight] leaped up instantly, the sharp blade brushing the back of his hand, but just as he jumped up, he was hit in the waist by a pitch-black shield in mid-air and was knocked away.

"Uh--cough!"

[White Knight] Amer Knight fell to the ground, and the vitality of the etheric blood in his body began to decrease suddenly. His appearance aged at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon he turned into a dying old man.

"It is only natural that the power of a traitor who disobeys his mother should be taken away."

The shield flew around and returned to the thrower's hand. Yamer's eyes moved down and looked at the owner of the shield.

"【Black Knight】Gretorwald Nightsong."

Old Amer Knight narrowed his eyes:
"Ye Ge... So he is the descendant of Gan Duoke Ye Ge?"

Gretewo did not answer directly, but said:

"It is said that my ancestor once defeated a White Knight, but due to various reasons, he was unable to fulfill his long-cherished wish. Now, the only chance to combine the Black and White Knights has finally come to me."

He said this, walking forward slowly.

"Do you have any last words? White Knight."

“…That’s not necessary.”

Yamer lay on the ground, looking calmly at the girl with black hair and silver eyes.

Gaia didn't even look at him, as if she had never noticed his existence.

He walked up to Armor Knight, raised his shield, and smashed it down on Armor's head without mercy.

Blood and brain matter splattered, but Gaia didn't even look at it.

Behind her, whirlpools of silver-white light opened one after another.

[Astrologer] Cavuna, from Milan, Italy.

【Bishop】Clement III, from the Byzantine Empire.

【Farmer】Farmer Springfield, German American.

[Gourmet] Chen Xiaochen, a native of western Sichuan in the Ming Empire.

【Barber】Jack Vanpel, Romanian.

【Doctor】Enver Ataturk, a Syrian from the Ottoman Empire.

【Writer】Victor Juan Olivares, Colombian.

[Engineer] Zhang Fulong, a Chinese citizen of the Etheric civilization.

[Soldier] Neville Millitary, British-Canadian.

【Teacher】Tracey Cornish, from England.

In addition to the [Blacksmith], [Tailor] and [Player], 10 secret councilors came out in full force to guard Gaia.

"Why...is this happening?"

Du Zexin couldn't express the shock in his heart.

It all happened so suddenly.

"Why would Gaia, who is so powerful, invade the newly established Yuanyuan Federation with all its national strength? This is simply... incomprehensible."

"It's very simple."

Gaia looked at Du Zexin and smiled:
"In the future, we will be defeated by the Yuanyuan Federation led by Lioz."

"So, let's come over now and kill you all."

"What's that expression on your face? Why do you feel that everything has to be like a game, where you are the only one allowed to defeat monsters and level up before facing the final boss. And the final boss has to stand there stupidly, waiting for the hero to be fully equipped with divine equipment, perfect his skills, and calm his mentality before going up to die?"

"Do you think we would allow the possibility of a threat to us?"

"Isn't it? You look down on me a little too much."

Miserable scarlet tracks streaked across the sky as more and more secret citizens tore through the cosmic dimensions and forcibly landed in the void with a large number of Earth soldiers.

Du Zexin, standing next to Gaia, was fortunate enough to use Gaia's perspective to look down at the entire Zhouyuan universe from his current high vantage point.

She was just sitting at the table in the teahouse, but she looked like a god, gazing at all creatures on earth equally.

At this time, Du Zexin finally realized how terrible the people on Earth were.

Despite having the advantages of technology and civilization system, there are still a lot of people on Earth.

Existences from the Earth, no, from all civilizations derived from the Earth, at this moment, mercilessly launched an all-out invasion of the void.

Flowers and trees from Earth took root and grew in the void. Earthlings speaking English, Chinese, German, French, Russian and other languages ​​built buildings and skyscrapers on the flat ground. Towering buildings and magnificent structures rose from the ground. They were like a video that was accelerated, unfolding decades, hundreds of years, and thousands of years in an instant. While this astonishing construction was taking place, the bodies of the Earthlings also adapted to the void.

What was even more beyond Du Zexin's imagination was that the people on Earth who had adapted to the void had also assimilated the void's culture.

war?

There is no war here.

No blood, no fire, no bloody killing.

Only impact.

He saw the Void People shed their spikes and tentacles after they began to speak English and learn Earth culture.

He saw the warriors of the Yuanyuan Protoss fighting hard and destroying the buildings of the earthlings, but the huge wave of infrastructure submerged His body.

He saw the magnificent history and figures coming towards him, and a vast amount of diverse cultures gathered here. No matter whether one was cultivating immortals or worshipping evil gods, anyone could find their own cultural appeal here.

Finally, Du Zexin wavered.

"What kind of weapon is this?"

“Ideology”

Gaia did not hide anything and explained generously:
"Ether is just a tool. Thought is the ultimate weapon of our earth civilization."

"The largest empire can disintegrate after the collapse of faith. A born disabled waste can also become immortal through faith. Ordinary people, as long as they are guided by the program of thought, can gather together and become a huge wave that sweeps the world! It keeps growing and destroys everything that stands in our way!"

“That’s the power of thought.”

"The people of Xingyuan only know violence, but for Earthlings, violence is something we have mastered since the ape age. Humans who only had violence did not conquer the world in 200 million years, but with progressive ideas, it only took us a few thousand years to break out of the universe."

"You can destroy the body with violence, but what can you use to fight against civilization?"

"To conquer barbarism and backwardness, we don't need swords, guns, or artillery, but water, electricity, and medicine."

"(Chinese) Gentlemen are harmonious but different, while villains are the same but not harmonious."

"I am omniscient and omnipotent, so I am naturally magnanimous. There is no need to exterminate Xing Yuan. On the contrary, Lioz knows that if I allow me to do so and conquer Xing Yuan like a frog in boiling water, then Xing Yuan will be completely terraformed in a few tens of thousands of years."

"So, Leoz will continue to stigmatize me, continue to attack me, and continue to discredit me."

"Although he didn't want to admit it, he did the right thing."

"If he hadn't provoked a war between Earth and Xingyuan, only Earth's civilization would have remained in this world."

"It sounds ironic, right? In fact, on Earth, the conquest of civilizations is always very respectable. It is nothing more than registering the people, seeking common ground while reserving differences, and building a community with a shared future. However, the independence of freedom is often bloody and cruel."

When saying this, from the God's perspective that Du Zexin saw, the territory of the Earth colonists had completely covered the entire Zhouyuan.

"Okay, the void has been conquered. Now all that's left is to destroy Rioz. But before that..."

Gaia turned her head and reached out to Du Zexin:

"You once had the blood of the Earth in you, and you gave us delicious food."

"So, I'm happy to give you another chance, Du Zexin."

"Would you like to be our child?"
