An invasion from the Abyss? I, a demonic cultivator, laughed.

Chapter 351 Agent

Although Chu Xiu's strength has improved by leaps and bounds, he is not so arrogant as to think that he can challenge the eight Heavenly Kings.

Faced with his question, Zhao Jie shook his head: "No, the path to godhood is an opportunity with extremely high uncertainty. Compared to strength, luck is more important."

“Every time the path to godhood has been opened, it has changed the landscape of the world.”

"The first time was thirty-four years ago, seven years after the invasion of the abyss. The awakened ones had begun to use their power to obtain privileges. After the path to godhood ended, seventeen powerful individuals who obtained secret treasures stood out. After that, in order to compete for the fragments of the laws, Blue Star officially entered the era of dark turmoil."

"The second time was twenty-one years ago. After that, the eight Heavenly Kings emerged from the bloodshed and together ended the Dark Age, officially laying the foundation for the current situation."

"Since then, human civilization has developed rapidly. After a full twenty-one years of accumulation, the treasures that have emerged from the path to godhood this time are far superior to the previous two in both quantity and quality. They are a rare opportunity for awakened individuals to break through their class and reach a higher level!"

After a pause, Zhao Jie continued, "You may not know, but of the eight Heavenly Kings today, only four were powerful figures who emerged during the first path to godhood, and even the strongest figures during the Dark and Turmoil Era. The Heavenly King who was later hailed as the 'First King' perished during the second path to godhood."

Zhao Jie's words made Chu Xiu secretly gasp. Even the strongest expert had fallen. It seemed that the path to godhood was indeed not an opportunity for the Heavenly King to monopolize everything.

With a deep-sea diving safety rope, one's life is at least safe, so naturally one shouldn't give up this great opportunity.

After explaining the matter, Zhao Jie took his leave, stating that he would send someone to inform Chu Xiu in Yuan City about everything, including the reward of causal points, the opening time of the path to godhood, and the subsequent action plan against the extraterrestrial demons.

The reward should arrive within a month, but the action plan is uncertain. As for the path to godhood, it will take anywhere from one to two years to begin, so Chu Xiu needs to prepare early.

He then initiated his escape and soon disappeared from this world.

Chu Xiu watched his disappearing figure and murmured to himself, "The path to godhood, huh?"

To be honest, Chu Xiu has not yet personally come into contact with any fragments of laws.

He had an idea: if the fragments of laws were the embodiment of the "Heavenly Dao," then could he use the fragments of laws to skip the Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation stages and directly begin the Refinement of Emptiness and Integration with the Dao?

Of course, this is just a conjecture. Chu Xiu still felt that he should cultivate step by step. But in any case, if he could obtain a fragment of a law, it would definitely be of great benefit to him.

only.
"Although the path to godhood wasn't always a one-size-fits-all affair before, the twenty-one years have still strengthened the monopoly held by the Heavenly Kings."

In the dark and turbulent era, everyone competed and plundered each other. Although the strong rose to the top, the weak also had a chance to catch up.

However, in this era where the causal points are monopolized by the Heavenly Kings, the Heavenly Kings have already widened the gap with others to a great extent, and it continues to widen.

"If I want to achieve something on the path to godhood, I must take advantage of this time to do everything I can to improve my strength!"

"Let's set a small goal first: to possess the power of a Heavenly King!"

With his mind made up, Chu Xiu let out a soft breath, went to the body of the murderer, and began to sort through the spoils of his trip.

However, after everything was sorted out, Chu Xiu shook his head with amusement.

"Why is this guy so honest about this? He actually told me all the good stuff."

The most valuable part of the murderer's wealth was the conditions he had previously proposed: eight pieces of legendary King-rank Heroic Spirit Supreme, seventeen pieces of perfect Heroic Spirit, and 800,000 Karma Points.

Of course, there were also those two powerful souls and that mythical weapon.

All the other miscellaneous items combined would amount to at most 30 to 40 billion Chinese yuan, which is nothing to Chu Xiu at the moment.

"However, with the causal points awarded by the government, I should be able to complete the Ghost Soldier stage of cultivation."

Thinking of this, Chu Xiu prepared to return to his cultivation.

But just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears: "I didn't expect it to be you."

Chu Xiu turned around abruptly, only to see that the headless corpse of the murderer had somehow stood up and was quietly standing behind him!
Chu Xiu's expression suddenly changed, and with a flick of his wrist, the Chiwen appeared in his hand.

"Don't be nervous, I mean no harm." The headless figure raised its hands. "I just sensed that my beloved 'proxy' was dead, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect to run into an acquaintance."

Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and carefully examined the headless corpse. Under his destructive sword energy, even the body that had not yet been destroyed fused with the armor it was wearing under the high temperature, and now stood in a strange and twisted posture.

That posture gave him a strange feeling, as if the main body of the action was not the killer's body, but rather the armor on his body.

"Agent."

"Are you Az Ilitua Mgos, the god of suffering?" Chu Xiu's expression turned solemn.

However, he wasn't too worried.

He had already realized that this extraterrestrial demon had descended by remotely using some kind of "ritual object" of his.

Its combat strength is not much stronger than the Pain Incarnation that Chu Xiu encountered in the Warrior Trial.

"Just call me Mgos," the killer's body groped around under the control of the armor, finally finding a skull that was only half intact, and pressed it onto his spine. "Ah, that feels much better."

The empty eye socket, now only one, stared at Chu Xiu: "How long has it been? Two years? You've gone from a fledgling Awakener participating in the Warrior Rank Trial to a top-tier powerhouse who even killed my 'Agent'."

"Tsk tsk, the speed at which you Awakened Ones grow is truly astonishing."

Faced with the extraterrestrial demon's praise, Chu Xiu remained calm: "You went to great lengths to expend so much energy to travel this far, surely you weren't just here for idle chatter?"

“You short-lived creatures have no patience,” Mgos snapped its head shut, aligning its head completely. This seemed to give it complete control over the killer’s body, and its overall “human” aura became much stronger.

"Then I'll just say what I have to say."

"I've come here to invite you to be my new 'agent'."

After he finished speaking, Chu Xiu's face showed a clear expression of speechlessness.

"If this is the only reason you've come, then please leave as soon as possible."

"I have no interest in yakuza."

“No, no, no,” Mgos shook his head repeatedly, “I’m not talking about the ‘cannon fodder’ like the Yakuza, I’m talking about ‘agents’.”

"Whether you're an agent or something else, I have no interest in you," Chu Xiu said calmly.

His words made Mgos chuckle softly.

"Now that it's just the two of us, there's no need to pretend anymore, right?"

“I have been observing you for a long time. You are not the kind of person who would give up his own interests for the sake of ‘the common people’ or ‘righteousness and morality’.”

"Do you know how many benefits you can gain by becoming my agent?"

"All I know is that those who make deals with demons will not have a good ending," Chu Xiu said calmly.

Despite being rejected by Chu Xiu, Mgos didn't seem to care at all, and simply said to himself, "Why don't you hear my offer first?"

“‘Agent’ is not like the Yakuza. You and I do not need to sign any contract, and we are definitely not in a slave or superior-subordinate relationship.”

“We are ‘collaborators’.”

"By becoming my 'agent,' you will directly receive my blessing and an extremely powerful artifact."

As soon as he finished speaking, the armor on the killer's body twisted and contorted. Chu Xiu could clearly feel that the armor was as if it had a life of its own, frantically absorbing the energy of the killer's body, not only life energy, but also devouring the soul that had not yet dissipated!
It takes root in the murderer, growing wildly by nourishing the murderer's body and soul!

"Your talent is astonishing. The 'divine artifact' I give you will be far more powerful than the one I bestowed upon Li Ge!"

"The path to godhood is about to begin. With my help, you will be able to stand out from the monopoly of the Heavenly Kings and seize a chance to become a god!"

"And all you need to do is provide me with a little 'favor' when necessary."

"A little convenience?" Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and sneered, "You're not referring to the kind of 'little convenience' that could lead to the extinction of all mankind if you're not careful, are you?"

To his surprise, Mgos didn't mince words: "So what?"

"You don't really think that you humans can withstand the combined invasion of five extraterrestrial demons, do you?"

"The current situation is simply caused by the competition and suspicion among us extraterrestrial demons, which prevents us from focusing all our efforts on external threats."

"Otherwise, why would O'Brien have walked into your trap so hastily? And why would he have attacked alone?"

"But this is only temporary. We creatures who have lived for tens of thousands of years still have this sense of the bigger picture."

"so--"

"You can't protect the others!"

Mgos's words made Chu Xiu's expression turn serious.

He knew the other party wasn't lying. Besides the extraterrestrial demon that attacked Pengcheng, the Investigation Bureau had also collected information on at least three other extraterrestrial demons. If all three extraterrestrial demons descended at the same time, humanity would truly find it difficult to resist.

Moreover, the extraterrestrial demons revealed in Mgos's words were not three, but five!

Not to mention, another superstar betrayed them!
And who can guarantee that there will only be one Heavenly King who betrays us? If things really reach an irreversible point, the large-scale surrender and rout of high-level combat forces like those in Pengcheng is almost a foreseeable event! If the five extraterrestrial demons were to descend at the same time with the help of human traitors, Chu Xiu really couldn't think of any way for humanity to resist.

Then, Mgos's seductive voice rang out again:

"Mortals are like weeds; one generation dies and another grows back in a few decades. Even if you leave them alone, they will eventually die. Why bother with them?"

“As long as you become my ‘agent,’ I can even give you a list of pardons to protect the people you want to protect in the future. Even if you give them privileges far beyond what they have now, it’s just a matter of me saying a word.”

"Even if human civilization falls, all I need are fragments of the world's laws. Humanity will not become extinct. Your family and friends can live a happy and peaceful life as the ruling class. Your family will thrive under my protection, and you yourself can become the ruler of a new era of human civilization!"

Mgos makes a lot of sense, and the promises he makes are even more tempting!

but
"I reject."

Chu Xiu did not hesitate at all.

"Why?" Mgos frowned.

"It's simple, because I can't trust you."

"We're just cooperating."

“A famous businessman on our planet once said,” Chu Xiu interrupted, smiling faintly, “No one can get rich by shorting their own country.”

"If the skin is gone, where will the hair attach? I still understand this simple truth."

In Chu Xiu's previous life, there were many comprador classes.

But none of these people had a good ending. Without the protection of the state, their wealth was like a rootless duckweed, which could be plundered at any time.

Of course, the awakened ones are different; their own martial prowess is their greatest guarantee.

But Chu Xiu still believed that he could develop most safely within a complete social order—at least until he possessed power surpassing that of the Heavenly King.

Chu Xiu's words also darkened Mgos's expression.

"If you have nothing else to say—"

Chu Xiu raised the Chiwen in his hand: "Then I will send you on your way."

However, just as Chu Xiu was about to swing his sword, Mugos suddenly laughed: "As expected of a human prodigy who dares to raise his sword against O'Brien, I knew that with your pride, you wouldn't agree."

Chu Xiu frowned, thinking that this extraterrestrial demon might have misunderstood something.

However, to outsiders, his actions truly made him appear like those of Zhang Qingshan—a hero who defended his country and disregarded his own life.

Chu Xiu had no desire to explain, but Mugos continued, "Since you're unwilling to fight your own people, surely fighting the extraterrestrial demons shouldn't be a problem?"

"Oh?"

"As I said before," Mgos said, "there is also competition among extraterrestrial demons."

"And there is only one chance to become a 'god of civilization' by relying on the laws of the world."

"As long as you are willing to help me deal with the other extraterrestrial demons' 'agents,' I can still provide you with combat support."

"I think you humans also have an old saying: the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

"Even though we are enemies, there is still room for cooperation, isn't there?"

Chu Xiu put down the Chiwen in his hand.

"Tell me."

"It's very simple. If you don't want your people to be affected, then we won't cooperate on Earth, but in the Blood Sea World!"

Upon hearing the words "Blood Sea World," Chu Xiu revealed a thoughtful expression.

This world also offers the opportunity to become a god! And it is also coveted by demons from beyond the realm!

but
"Do you think I would let my enemy become a god?" Chu Xiu asked.

"Become a god? Hahaha, that kind of slave god, does he even deserve to be called a god?" The extraterrestrial demon's eyes revealed a look of disdain. "You underestimate us too much. We pursue the path of the world god because we want to break free from the shackles of the planet. How could we possibly add another shackle to ourselves just to get rid of one shackle?"

"Our pursuit of the Blood Sea World is merely a means to refine the [False God Avatar]."

Chu Xiu rubbed his chin, realizing something in his heart. It seemed that the servant gods were probably at the bottom of all pantheons, only slightly higher than the false gods who could not yet be called gods.

The extraterrestrial demons were probably even stronger than the servant gods when they were on the planet.

It's unclear whether the subordinate god promised by the Blood Pool or the Star God is stronger.

Their schemes in the Blood Sea World are probably similar to Chu Xiu's Blood Demon Incarnation, which are used to create "avatars" to replace the original body and conquer other worlds.

“Even so, I will not allow the enemy’s fighting strength to increase,” Chu Xiu said.

Even if a false god incarnation only possesses the power of a god and lacks the great power of rules, it is still not something that ordinary demigods can withstand. Even the Heavenly King, Chu Xiu was not sure if he could deal with it.

Mgos said, "I don't need you to help me collect the fragments of the Blood Law. I've said it before, I just need you to help me stop the other 'Agents'."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu understood.

“You didn’t make any arrangements in the Blood Sea World, but other extraterrestrial demons did.”

Mgos nodded approvingly: "It's so comfortable talking to you smart people."

"To be honest, in our long history, whether it's a few hundred years or ten thousand years, we will always have an opportunity to become gods. So, for me, your Blue Star is not something I have to be sure of. I can wait."

"In comparison, strengthening our own foundation and weakening other competitors is the long-term development strategy."

"If you give me the other resources in the Blood Sea World and help me stop the other extraterrestrial demons, I can grant you my power."

Now, Chu Xiu was genuinely tempted.

Furthermore, it appears that this god of suffering is aligned with his interests.

but
Chu Xiu looked up at Mgos thoughtfully and smiled, "You're in such a hurry, there must be something else going on?"

"If we really want to cooperate, it's best to be honest."

After saying this, Mgos gave Chu Xiu a deep look and fell silent for a moment.

It wasn't until Chu Xiu impatiently raised the Chiwen that it clicked its tongue in extreme displeasure: "You humans are too cunning. You're not as easy to fool as other races."

"Since that's the case, I'll tell you. Anyway, your Heavenly Kings have probably already noticed something amiss."

Mgos looked at Chu Xiu: "Did you know that we extraterrestrial demons are actually divided into two types?"

"I would like to hear the details," Chu Xiu said.

Mgos said, "We are divided into two types: acquired and innate. Acquired refers to the beings that roam the abyss and become star gods after merging with the incomplete laws of the world. Innate extraterrestrial demons are beings that are born from the planet itself and become incomplete laws of the world."

"For example, if your Blue Star did not develop a complete set of world laws, then humans who become gods by collecting laws can also be considered as innate extraterrestrial demons."

"The difference between these two is that, generally speaking, the innate extraterrestrial demons are more powerful."

"But we have an enemy, an innate extraterrestrial demon, and a terrifying being who has lived for a full 670,000 years. He is the oldest extraterrestrial demon I know."

"If we miss out on your Blue Star, there will be another opportunity, but if He gains great power, we are in danger of perishing."

"And He also pays attention to the Blue Star."

"If such a terrifying being also possesses a pseudo-god avatar, do you think your Earth could withstand it?"

After saying that, Mgos looked at Chu Xiu: "Now, are you satisfied?"

Chu Xiu remained silent; this time, it was his turn to be quiet.

In other words, besides the five extraterrestrial demons on Mgos's side, there is also an extremely powerful innate extraterrestrial demon who has lived for a full 670,000 years.
this.
Chu Xiu felt that the future of humanity was truly bleak.

Letting out a long breath, Chu Xiu said, "Let's talk about that person's situation first."

Mgos nodded and slowly began to speak:

"His name is the King of Bronze."
