Not a god

Chapter 89: The King's Order
When the fireworks were halfway set off, Chen Xi suddenly felt his ears become more sensitive. Within a radius of several hundred meters, many sounds, such as human voices, dog barking, insect chirping, etc., continuously poured into his ears.

The world has become so lively, what’s going on?

Jiang Wanwan, who was standing beside him, suddenly looked up at him with a look of disbelief in her eyes: "You've been promoted to King of Kings?"

Chen Xi was also stunned: "The king's order? I see."

It turned out that just now, when he was watching the fireworks rising, the last evil soul needed to be promoted to the King's Fate was absorbed by him.

From December 12th last year, when he first obtained the evil spirit, to now, January 19th of the new year, it has been forty days, and Chen Xi has broken through from the fate of the crowd to the fate of the king.

Unlike other fantasy novels, there are no bottlenecks in cultivation and advancement, and there is no need for meditation, contemplation, or seclusion.

Just because the consumption of evil spirits in his body reached this level, he was promoted successfully.

Jun Ming's successful promotion made him suddenly feel very hungry. This hunger was not for food, but for spiritual power.

He felt that the total amount of spiritual energy that his body could contain had increased by more than ten times.

The evil souls in the body are consumed and replenished non-stop, and the consumption rate of the evil souls is also increased. At this rate, it only takes one hour to consume one evil soul.

According to the current selling price of evil spirits, one is worth two to three thousand, and he would spend sixty to seventy thousand on his practice for a day.

This road to destiny is a road of burning gold.

Of course, this is the only reason he spends so much money. Other people with destiny do not spend as much money as he does.

Chen Xi felt as if he had completed a leap in the level of life in an instant.

This feeling was very mysterious, and the world suddenly became clearer in his eyes.

At the same time, he felt that the maximum output value of spiritual power had also become tremendous. It used to be 2G network, but now it is 4G.

This is the most important thing for Chen Xi. After all, he has the Qihuang Heart Technique to seal up excess spiritual power. Compared to others, he has an external hard drive that can store spiritual power beyond its capacity.

What has always limited him is the maximum amount of spiritual power he can manipulate and output.

It is the same "Ox and Horse Heart Sutra". When he uses it again, the amplification will become more than ten times that of the multi-life. It is really comparable to Spider-Man in Marvel and is simply at the superman level.

All other skills that require the consumption of spiritual energy, such as "Immobilization Technique", "Telekinesis Technique", "Song of Blessings", etc., will suddenly gain a leap in effectiveness due to the user's promotion.

To be frank, after his spiritual power is replenished, he can now fight dozens of himself when he was a mortal.

Jiang Wanwan looked at him curiously and whispered, "Your promotion speed is amazing. Putting aside those people of the old era who were promoted to the level of the Lord, you should be the first one to be promoted to the level of the Lord."

"How long did it take you to reach the King's Fate in your previous life?"

"I have never fulfilled your command."

Chen Xi looked puzzled. She looked at her and she was a little proud. She snorted and said:

"You can tell from the levels that a person who stands out from the common people can become a nobleman, a duke, or the king of a country, but can he become a god through hard work?

This is like climbing a mountain. If the masses are the bottom of the mountain, the king is the top of the mountain, and heaven is the sky, the result of climbing is reaching the top, but after reaching the top, you can only look up at the sky.

Heaven was Heaven from the beginning, and this is destiny.

My destiny is the destiny of life and death. The moment I awaken to my destiny, it is the destiny of life and death."

Chen Xi understood. No wonder these gods could possess such terrifying power after being reborn.

That’s because once they awaken, they are already at the Daluotian level and don’t need to go through this climbing process at all.

Heaven is a class independent of all kings and princes, a position that can only be looked up to but not climbed to.

"So in this lifetime, the highest I can achieve is the King-level destiny, right?"

If others heard what he said, they would call him Versailles. Jiang Wanwan was afraid that he would be depressed, so she quickly comforted him:
"Wang Ming is already very powerful. In the previous life, Wang Ming was almost the ruling class of this world."

Chen Xi pretended to be dejected: "When I think about being suppressed by Wanwan in the future, I feel a little depressed."

"No, don't be depressed..."

Jiang Wanwan was anxious to cheer him up. She looked around, raised her feet and whispered in his ear:
"Tonight, tonight, I can keep you under control all night."

After she finished speaking, her face felt like it was burning. She was so angry because she had said something so embarrassing that she waved her fist and hit him:

"You big pervert! What are you talking about? I'm ignoring you!"

Some people say something shy and embarrassing, and they would deceive themselves that they never said it, but Wanwan Emperor is not an ordinary person. After she says it, she can pretend that someone else said it.

Chen Xi was not depressed at all, but he felt that things were becoming a little more interesting.

Is it hard to defy destiny?
*
The next day, New Year's Day, firecrackers were set off from early morning until sunrise. The ground was covered with red paper. Smoke and fog gathered in the alleys and could not disperse. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Of course, this is only the New Year in the countryside, and people still care about whether there is a New Year atmosphere. Now the Internet has already exploded. At 26 o'clock this morning, "Tian Ming Ren" updated the login points of 26 regions, which means that people in nearly urban areas will rush to sleep today.

Among the top ten hot searches online, nine are related to "The Destiny Man", and one is about Wang Feng preparing to hold a concert.

At the same time, the game has undergone a major update and change. That is, from today onwards, any multi-level destiny character who wants to re-enter the game with all his own data after the death needs to consume an evil soul.

A monarch-level destiny requires one monarch-level evil soul, or ten common-level evil souls, while a public-level destiny requires one public-level evil soul, or one hundred monarch-level evil souls.

Of course, players can also choose to enter the game as a mortal, in which case they do not need to consume evil spirits, or enter the game with an evil spirit of a level lower than the level of destiny consumption corresponding to their own level.

As soon as this update came out, there was an uproar on the Internet, and netizens were outraged and protested.

Pine Nut King: It’s only been two months, so you’re in such a hurry to start harvesting leeks, right?
Guangxi Eddie Peng: Right now, only the beta test players in Jiangcheng can kill the evil skeleton. How can players from other regions play the game?
Manager Chifu: This is too ugly. Let's boycott it and stop playing this game. I recommend an open world adventure game developed by miHoYo...

Chen Xi was wearing cotton pants and a cotton coat, basking in the sun on a rattan chair in the yard while watching Douyin.

Without exception, they are all about destiny and dreams.

He knew this would be the update, and he knew it made sense.

So far, the operation of the game is actually all built by Taoist Yu and his team, and all expenses are paid by Mr. Guan.

However, as the game became more popular, all citizens were able to access the game, and even Mr. Guan could not afford such a huge consumption.

Later on, players will have to bear the cost of the paper figures themselves.

Chen Hongying was holding a bowl of something unknown and lying down beside him. She was browsing her phone while eating something from the bowl and suddenly said:
"Chen Xi, Chen Xi, look at the update of "The Man of Destiny". From now on, those who have awakened their destiny will have to consume that evil spirit if they want to enter!"

Chen Xi was too lazy to pay attention to her: "You can't play, why are you paying attention to this."

Chen Hongying works as an elementary school physical education teacher in her hometown. Obviously, her hometown is not among those 27 cities.

So she still can't play it and can only wait for the next update.

"I can go to Jiangcheng to play. The elementary school doesn't start so early. I'll try going to Jiangcheng after the New Year."

"Where do you live?"

"your home."

“There aren’t that many rooms.”

"I know, you're just afraid that I'll surpass you!"

"Divine gold..." Chen Xi glanced at the things in her bowl: "Where is the fried crispy meat?"

"I was so hungry last night, I found it in the oil cabinet in the kitchen. I think my mother-in-law hid it there... Do you want to eat it?"

She took another big piece and ate it while sighing:

"Right now, the price of evil spirits in this game is about 2,000 to 3,000 yuan per piece. After this update, the price may rise even more dramatically."

She had clearly never played it before, but her tone sounded like that of an expert who knew it well.

“There are more and more people who can hunt evil spirits alone, so the price of evil spirits should have dropped, but now it has to go up again.

It’s a pity that I don’t have the chance to get in touch with it, otherwise I would buy a batch now and it will definitely be sold at a very high price in a while!”

She was scrolling through her phone when she suddenly asked Chen Xi, "You have awakened your destiny, right? Do you have an evil spirit?"

Chen Xi felt it and nodded: "There are more than 500 left."

"If you don't brag, you'll die!"

Chen Xi sighed: "Several hundred of them are useless. I am now a king. Each death will consume ten evil souls."

Chen Hongying couldn't stand listening to such boasting. Although she had never played "The Man of Destiny", she knew that Wang Tian, one of the kings and dukes, was at the level of the Man of Destiny.

Now almost all players are ordinary people, that is, they are level-one destinies. Even those few star players, like Su Jiuer and others, are just level-one destinies.

"You kid is going to repay the emperor's order. Are you more awesome than Su Jiuer?"

"Why is it that he is famous and not you?"

"By the way, that Su Jiuer seems to be from Tianfu University as well? Have you ever seen her? Is she very impressive?"

Chen Xi shook her head, thinking that she didn't know the master, and shouted into the house:
"Mother-in-law! Chen Hongying stole your crispy meat and ate it all by herself."

"Damn it, Chen Hongying! Come here!"
