Gods: Civilization Cultivation, Infinite War

Chapter 28 Price
There are certain restrictions on the use of this gem, and you cannot make a wish at any time.

When the ancestor of the Deep Sea Murloc King picked up this gem, he made his first wish, that the Deep Sea Murlocs would become the most powerful race in the world.

In the years that followed, with the power of the gem, the deep-sea merman eventually became the overlord of the ocean.

At that time, the ocean only occupied about 30% of the area of ​​this demiplane, but as the overlord of the entire ocean, the deep-sea murlocs had indeed become the most powerful race in the entire demiplane.

But at that time, the deep-sea merfolk still had many enemies throughout the ocean.

In order to completely consolidate the status of the deep-sea merman, the king of the deep-sea merman empire at that time made a second wish, that the entire deep-sea merman race would become the absolute overlord of the world.

Under the guidance of the gems, they continued to build holy places to enhance the foundation of the entire deep-sea merman race.

As long as you sacrifice intelligent life in the holy land, you can obtain all kinds of incredible benefits.

With the help of the Holy Land, the overall strength of the deep-sea fishmen has been greatly improved. In the process, all the intelligent races in the ocean were exterminated by them.

Later they turned their attention to the land.

At that time, the land occupied most of the area of ​​the entire demiplane. In addition, the deep-sea merfolk could not adapt to the environment on land. With their combat power greatly weakened, they were no match for the land forces.

But it doesn’t matter. The function of the holy land is not just to sacrifice intelligent life to obtain all kinds of incredible benefits.

It can also serve as a node in a certain formation, triggering a world-destroying tsunami to destroy all land races, changing the elemental structure of the entire world, and allowing deep-sea fishmen to gain a larger living environment.

However, in order to activate the formation nodes, it is also necessary to sacrifice enough intelligent life.

Regarding the sacrifices in the holy land, there are actually two modes.

One is to sacrifice intelligent life that has not yet died. This mode of sacrifice can directly bring many benefits.

The second is to sacrifice dead intelligent life. This mode of sacrifice can be used as energy to charge the formation nodes. Once charged, the formation can be successfully activated, triggering a world-destroying tsunami.

The intelligent marine races at that time had long been extinct, and the deep-sea fishmen on land were no match for those land forces, so in the end they could only set their sights on themselves.

Before this, the king was not willing to sacrifice his own people, but only sacrificed the intelligent lives of other races to enhance the foundation of the kingdom.

It was not until a long period of development that the deep-sea fishmen had already regarded the holy land as some kind of sacred symbol.

When the king announced that all deep-sea fishmen could be buried around the holy land after their death, instead of causing dissatisfaction, it received a positive response from all deep-sea fishmen.

Finally, many deep-sea merman tribes were established with these holy places as the center.

All deep-sea fishmen who died within the influence of those so-called holy places would be absorbed by the formation nodes as sacrifices.

Since then, the charging speed of the formation nodes has increased a lot. The formation can be successfully activated once every few hundred years, affecting the elemental structure of the entire demiplane and giving the deep-sea fishmen more living space.

If the four legions had not arrived, it would only take a few more activations of the formation, and most of the land in this demiplane would be swallowed up by the ocean, and the deep-sea merman race would become the only intelligent race in the entire demiplane.

But when the gods of Blue Star discovered this demiplane, the fate of the deep-sea merfolk was already sealed.

Even if Chen Li hadn't arrived, other gods would have come to this demiplane. Once they discovered that the Deep Sea Murloc Empire was connected to the power of the abyss, they would surely be completely destroyed.

Even if the ones who came to this demiplane were just some weaker novice gods who were unable to deal with the deep-sea murlocs in the entire demiplane, they could directly call for external assistance.

For the gods of Blue Star, the abyss is the biggest cancer in the entire place of origin, and everything related to the power of the abyss must be completely eliminated.

As long as any god discovers something related to the abyss, if he cannot solve it on his own, he can report it directly, and other gods will come to solve the problem.

The god who reports the incident does not need to pay any compensation. As long as the traces of the abyss are successfully cleared, all gods who contribute will receive rich rewards according to the rules of the Land of Origin. This is equivalent to the Land of Origin providing special compensation for the gods' help.

However, the king of the Deep Sea Merman Empire did not know these things. He just felt that if it were not for the sudden appearance of the alien army, the Deep Sea Merman race would definitely become the absolute overlord of the entire world.

It was the appearance of these alien races that destroyed the deep-sea merman’s foundation of tens of thousands of years. Now even the central holy land is about to be destroyed, and the deep-sea merman race has been forced into a desperate situation.

Fortunately, at this final moment of life and death, the universal gem can finally be used again.

Long before this, he had wanted to use the universal gem to resolve the threat of the alien army.

But the universal gem at that time never responded and remained indifferent to his prayers.

According to the records left by our ancestors, there seem to be certain prerequisites for using the universal gem, and it cannot be used at any time.

However, his ancestors did not figure out what these conditions were.

Even the two ancestors who had used the universal gem had no idea about this.

He also tried various methods to get a response from the universal gem, but all he got was silence.

Now that he finally received a response from the Universal Gem, the King of the Deep Sea Murloc Empire was filled with excitement and quickly made his wish to completely resolve the threat posed by the alien army and allow the deep sea merman race to survive.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to make some more powerful wishes, such as gaining invincible power.

However, according to the rules of the universal gem, every wish must be exchanged for a certain price. He simply cannot afford the corresponding price for those more exaggerated wishes.

In the end, they can only make this wish. As long as they can get rid of those alien legions and allow the deep-sea merman race to survive, they will sooner or later develop again and become the overlord of the entire world.

But if he wants to realize this wish, he must first pay the corresponding price.

After learning the so-called price from the universal gem, a trace of struggle flashed in the eyes of the King of the Deep Sea Murloc Empire, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

"Everything is for the empire, for the survival of the race..."

Without any hesitation, the King of the Deep Sea Murloc Empire stretched out his left hand and suddenly cut open his chest, revealing the beating heart inside.

Then he stuffed the blood-red gem, which was about to shatter completely, into his heart.
