Something's wrong with my undead
Chapter 566 God's Resurrection Match
In the end, Solace successfully persuaded Alan to join his great plan to "restore the Everlasting Castle".
He did not directly ask the other party to work for him, but instead set up a "Sustainable Castle Foundation" based on Melvin's suggestions before he left.
All the contribution points he earned would be recorded in the name of this foundation. When the number reached a certain level, he could apply to Loulton for city-building projects of different scales.
For example, if restoring the entire Eternal Castle requires 1 billion contribution points, then when the foundation's account accumulates million contribution points, it can unlock % of the area of the Eternal Castle and begin construction.
At that time, Solace himself will choose where the 1% area will be and provide the corresponding blueprint.
Loulton will provide him with enough soul essence and spirit, and the Copy Research Institute will also prepare corresponding technologies such as sharing and memory extraction.
As long as the money is in place, everything is easy to discuss!
After understanding the mechanism related to contribution points, Alan also agreed to invest the contribution points he earned into this foundation to contribute to the restoration of the Eternal Castle.
After all, he is one of them.
This is also what surprised Alan the most.
The once autocratic emperor has really changed.
If it were in the past, he would undoubtedly emphasize that the Eternal Castle has only one "master", and that is him.
But now he actually allowed others to share the "ownership" of this city with him - the final decision on the right of control was based on the proportion of contribution points paid.
Although Solace's explanation for this (hard-headed) was "There is no doubt that the person who has paid the most for it should, must, and can only be me."
But everyone could see that he had compromised with himself.
After earning contribution points himself, he faced the reality.
But he still had illusions, otherwise he would not have rejected the investment from McCalla officials.
This was his last act of stubbornness, not letting McCala take away the ownership of the Eternal Castle.
Heine was not in a hurry either.
Anyway, Solace has already compromised from the stubborn old Deng to what he is now. God knows what he will become in the future.
It will take a long time to fill this almost bottomless hole, and anything is possible.
After resolving Alan's doubts, Heine announced that the reconstruction process of the [Ogas Module] would be officially put on the agenda.
This system will not cover the current main system of Mackala, but will be controlled as a module or tool by Quirkus, who has the authority to take the Ogas system offline.
Valasel initially disagreed with this approach. After all, no matter how you looked at it, it was laying the groundwork for the birth of a dictator, which ran counter to the purpose of Ogas's birth.
But Heine's explanation still convinced her:
“In Macara, no one can force Quirkus to do something against its will, not even Loulton and I. It is the protector of all Macara people and can listen to the truest voice in everyone’s heart.
"Moreover, the biggest difference between it and 'God' is that it has an independent will and is not a collection of other people's emotions.
"This means that even if all the Macara people betrayed Quirkus, it would not betray the Macara people. Instead, it would insist on waiting for the Macara people to wake up and redeem themselves until they were beyond help and killed their last hope with its own hands."
As for why I trust Quirkus so much...
After hearing the story of the tree's life, and learning that it has been used as a garbage disposer by the Veritas people for nearly a thousand years but has not turned evil or lost faith in humans, no one would doubt such a tree.
Especially since little Quirkus is still growing up in a cleaner environment.
After solving the biggest gain and biggest trouble brought back by this player, Heine threw out his own problem.
He took out a bottle, which no longer contained the original reddish-brown leather, but a ball of red flame.
Then he summoned a faint light blue root, which was the "contribution point" he obtained from the underworld.
After explaining the origins of the two, he brought the root close to the bottle, and the flames in it suddenly jumped up and hit the bottle violently.
"The 'God of War' normally won't attack the undead, as that is considered dirty to it."
Heine explained: "But whether it is Talos from the underworld or the 'quest reward' from the underworld, it can excite it... I can understand that it is essentially excited about the root, but why is it that only the Zanlo undead contain the 'root'? I don't know much about the God of War, so I want to hear your opinions."
Valasel spoke first: "Even in our time, the God of War is the most mysterious of all gods. Unlike other religions, he is not as high-profile as others. Instead, he is very low-key and entrenched in the place now known as the Zanluo Plateau.
"I think the main reason is that the 'survival of the fittest, winner takes all' they advocated was contrary to the mainstream ideology of 'protecting the weak and overcoming darkness' at the time, so they took the initiative to avoid it."
Alan nodded and said, "Yes, I wanted to go there at first, but when I got close to the plateau, I felt a sense of selection and resistance, as if it was a wall... By the way, this is also the reason why I chose to become two walls to guard Ogas - I have seen similar forces."
"Did the holy land already exist at that time?" Heine asked doubtfully.
"Why don't you ask it?" Solace suggested. "Before, the thing in the bottle was motionless, but now it seems to be alive. Didn't you say it ate a person?"
"I actually tried, and I still can't communicate with it."
Heine explained as he opened the bottle.
The red light inside jumped out and rushed towards the source.
As if he had expected this, Heine put away the root in advance and held the bottle with his other hand.
The red light suddenly converged and turned into a majestic big dog with standing hair, floating in the air and grinning at him.
Its tail was held firmly in Heine's hand, which was holding the bottle.
The man and the dog confronted each other, just like many times before.
But after a few seconds, this majestic wolfhound turned into a bootlicker.
It rolled over on the table in front of Heine, wagging its tail for mercy, nudging him with its head, licking him with its tongue, and being extremely fawning.
"See, that's it. I can't talk properly at all."
Heine said helplessly as he dodged the dog-head's attack.
Several people looked at each other.
Milton suddenly said: "I feel that its soul is more solid than before, and its movements are more flexible than before. Maybe it would be more effective to feed it a few more Zanluo souls. I remember there are several in the other world..."
"Stop your horrible thoughts!" Heine said speechlessly, "Those Zanluo people and the spirits of the ancestors are all ours. What are you going to do?"
At this time, Loulton popped up from the side:
"In fact, Heine has already studied it. There is no root cause in those guys' bodies."
Everyone looked at Heine.
"?" Heine: "This is a rumor! It's a malicious slander. I just walked past them!"
Milton stared at him: "So there is nothing wrong with my proposal."
Loulton: “I think it’s OK.”
"Shut up, both of you."
Heine rolled his eyes and stuffed the overly enthusiastic dog back into his pocket.
He looked at Alan and said, "I heard that the souls sent by the Zanlo people from Sanguiland eventually went to Helm's City. This happened because you deceived Zelajo, the dragonfly that was fused by the Zanlo people."
"Yes."
Alan nodded: "Initially we needed to use this method to maintain the survival of Ogas. Long before the first invasion of Savia, I was still in contact with the Gittiers outside, and they were responsible for the secret transactions of the ruins in various places. Fortunately, my descendants faithfully fulfilled this mission.
"The transaction with the Zanluo people was also one of the links at the beginning, but after a certain point in time, the souls they sent had mixed roots. It must have been at that time that the 'division' of the God of War was completed, and a considerable number of souls were polluted, which led to a certain outbreak of Valaser later."
Heine was thoughtful.
Da Huang mentioned this strange trade route.
This point was also confirmed by Dylan - the dirty water that Saviya threw at the Gittier was actually a family mission passed down from generation to generation. Unfortunately, in order to protect the Gittiers, Alan never dared to let his descendants know about the existence of Ogas.
That time point was the war between the Zanluo people and the orcs.
The conflict between the two sides reached an irreconcilable state under the intensification of the magic network, and after it finally broke out, the situation on the Zanluo Plateau also changed.
The souls they sent contained roots. As they accumulated, they developed self-awareness just like the roots passed down by the Gittier family, and began to compete with Valaser for control of the soul.
This was also the reason for the first big explosion in Delmines.
After the explosion, Alan induced the thief Lacho to transport souls to a ruin outside of Orgas. This was the only thing he could do for Valathar.
As for where his soul was sold, he had no time to care before.
He only knew that he sent the soul out through the underground ruins, and then, with the secret help of the Gittier family, he exchanged it for the charging stone, allowing the thief Lachou to take the team back contentedly, thus deceiving the Zanluo Plateau for hundreds of years.
The answer to this puzzle was finally explained by the team led by Arbiter Albite.
The souls of the Zan'lo people who carried the roots were sent to Helm's City and into the Holy Tomb. They were brainwashed by the Holy Light, their consciousness was erased, and they turned into weapon spirits.
It can only be said that if it were not for the players, this trade chain would never have been revealed to the world.
It's just too secretive.
The supplier at the source, the great Dark Prophet, whose name is still unknown, "Stranglehold" doesn't care where his goods are sent, he just delivers them.
The dragon fly that transports goods - a thief who is formed by the fusion of the Zanluo people - doesn't care who his goods are delivered to, as long as they are sold.
The middlemen who handled the goods - the Gittiers who secretly managed the underground ruins because of their ancestral teachings and assisted in the continuation of Ogas - had no idea where the goods came from and they just sold them.
They bought it and made it into equipment. The Luku people who finally got the equipment didn't care why the weapon spirit was strange in shape or had animal characteristics. They just used it.
From a macro perspective, each link has big problems, but if you look at each link from a different perspective, there are no problems.
Another person involved also said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, Alan stopped those polluted souls for me, otherwise I might not have been able to hold on until you arrived. Even so, the explosion greatly affected the strength of the plane barrier, which led to the subsequent pollution from the underworld."
After a pause, Valasel continued, "But I have some guesses about the origin of the God of War... Since you mentioned that the 'Mad King's Root' inherited by the Gitlers only developed self-awareness after its body became independent, then the God of War's Root was formed in my body and immediately gave birth to its own will. Does this mean that the God of War's will has already been independent, so it will awaken immediately after the number reaches the threshold?"
Her words reminded Heine.
The root of the soul is like a backup that has been broken into pieces, but the original body has absolute control over the backup.
Just like Solace, when he was still in the underground palace under Deathclaw Mountain, these roots outside showed no signs of activation. Instead, they maintained the Mad King's immortality because of some kind of potential "faith connection", just like the faith of believers maintains the immortality of "God".
When he came to Macalla and severed his connection with these roots, they came back to life one by one.
If we apply this example to the roots of the God of War, once they converge to a certain threshold, they will start to make trouble. Doesn't this mean that the God of War has long been cut off from his roots?
Lloyd suddenly said, "I seem to... remember something. During the years I traveled in the Zanluo Plateau, I seemed to have been collecting these fragments!"
After he said that, Heine also remembered that this bottle and the things in the bottle were all obtained by Teacher Xia from Lloyd, and he almost forgot about it.
"Then do you remember why you did this?" Heine asked.
Lloyd frowned, and it took him a while to relax his brows.
He looked at Heine solemnly and uttered one word firmly: "Resurrection."
"what?"
"Collect these fragments and revive the God of War." Lloyd repeated, "I am very sure that this is the purpose. It may come from the trust of the other party when I got this bottle, or it may be the influence of the will in the bottle on me during the long journey. I was confused at that time and couldn't remember many things, but I remembered this very clearly.
"Also, I frequently assassinated necromancers just to find a bronze mirror to enter the underworld. I never understood why I had to go against the underworld and even invented a spell like soul disguise. Now I understand that part of the God of War's roots went to the underworld, so I followed him."
The room was completely silent. Except for Solace, everyone else had a look of surprise and relief on their faces.
If you put it that way, then everything makes sense.
Although the roots of the God of War were divided, his original body did not die, but instead "cut off its tail and escaped" in some way.
The dog just now was the source of the escape, so it instinctively wanted to strengthen itself, and had an extraordinary desire for other roots.
If what escaped was the beast's instinct to kill and fight, then it is not difficult to explain why it was materialized as a wolfdog.
Its intelligence comes from the accumulation of quantity.
Perhaps only as Milton said, after devouring enough high-level orcs or Zanluo people carrying the root, it would be possible to really speak again and talk to them.
At this moment, Solace suddenly spoke:
"Leaving aside the roots of the God of War, Thanatos allowed his followers to obtain roots to feed and strengthen the 'Underworld Envoy' - does he also want to resurrect himself?"
hiss……
Heine's scalp suddenly went numb.
He had never thought about it this way before...
But if you think about it carefully, if President Sa really died, then there is nothing wrong with leaving behind such a "system", which is actually the most brilliant backup plan.
And this can perfectly explain the current situation in the underworld where people are highly dependent on programs, as if "the gods are not in their place".
——Because God is really not in his place!
But new doubts arise: how did Thanatos die?
Who distributes the contribution points?
Why are there more and more doubts?
……
……
Vilitas.
Area 0, the director's secret room of the Library of Truth, is also the meditation room of the rotating speaker of the Council of Six, the archmage Scrooge McDuck.
A white, translucent paper falcon appeared out of thin air, flew around the meditating Scrooge, and then turned into a ball of light, floating quietly in front of him.
The great wizard opened his eyes. There was no trace of old age in his eyes, which were as clear as the blue water of a lake.
He held the light with one hand, and then the light outlined a page of paper. Suddenly, a slit opened in the middle and it began to speak like a mouth:
"Melvin Cummings' caravan has returned from outside, bringing back the situation at Deathclaw Mountain."
"What did she say?" asked Scrooge.
"In addition to some ancient ruins and artifacts, she also mentioned that there are powerful undead guarding there."
"lie."
Scrooge smiled and said, "Sorace's roots have been struggling since two months ago. He can't still be there. It seems that Death Claw Mountain has indeed undergone some changes that we did not expect. Even she has been controlled."
"But..." the paper hesitated, "She also said that the undead there is a holy light skeleton wearing a crown."
"What?" Scrooge frowned slightly: "Holy Light Skull?"
"Yes." The paper continued, "From the scene she described in detail, there are traces of holy light fighting against the underworld, and the most abundant energy is earth element. The preliminary judgment is that a certain awakened root has occupied the heart of the Death Claw Mountain and is trying to break free from the chains. As for the holy light... we don't know what it means."
There was a brief silence in the meditation room.
After a moment, Scrooge spoke again:
"Investigate the Eternal Dawn, investigate... Helenda Ochi."
"Yes."
