"It looks like we can't help our group members foresee the future. We can only simulate a more distant future when there are strange group tasks that can't be solved for a long time," Wang Ping thought silently and gave up on continuing the simulation.
"Based on what I've observed from fate, Apollo, one of the twelve main gods of Greek mythology, will descend tomorrow, and his arrival point will be the Divine Capital," Wang Ping surveyed the people present and calmly uttered these words.
The faces of the Shenzhou Elder and the Guardians of Shenzhou changed instantly, showing expressions of astonishment, then turned solemn. They were amazed that Wang Ping could observe fate, but after witnessing his terrifying power earlier, they chose to trust him.
At the same time, they were concerned about the rapid arrival of the Main God and its significance, especially since the Main God was descending upon the most important place, the Divine Capital.
This Main God seemed to be aiming for a direct confrontation.
"Don't worry, leave it to me to deal with him. A mere Main God is nothing in front of me," Wang Ping said indifferently, noticing the serious expressions of the group.
"Thank you," the Shenzhou Elder sighed with relief, his face filled with gratitude. Wang Ping's presence had been a stroke of luck; otherwise, they would have been caught off guard.
The direct appearance of a Main God in the Divine Capital could lead to disastrous consequences. The city might be destroyed, and millions of people could be affected or killed in the aftermath. Even with the power of the Shenzhou Guardian Tower and the Dragon Veins, they might not be able to stop the Main God if he were strong enough. It would be an utter catastrophe.
"Prepare a room for me. I will wait quietly for the arrival of Apollo, the Main God of Light. After killing him, I will leave. If your world faces danger again, you can offer sufficient rewards to request our assistance," Wang Ping spoke with a hint of significance in his tone.
"We..."
The Shenzhou Elder hesitated for a moment, his gaze resolute as he nodded.
Wang Ping's meaning was clear; they, the Transmigrators, were organized. There were other powerful individuals like him, and some might even be stronger.
"If you encounter a crisis, we will prepare rewards and contact you through your subordinates," the Shenzhou Elder said respectfully.
"Good," Wang Ping nodded slightly.
Although Apollo's strength was only at the level of the Half-Step Life-and-Death Realm, he wasn't particularly formidable among the twelve main gods of Olympus. Gods like Ares, the God of War, and Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom, were likely stronger. Zeus, the King of the Twelve Main Gods, was even more powerful. Beyond Zeus, there were first and second-generation gods, although it was uncertain if they still existed.
However, Wang Ping's statement took into account the attitude of the Eastern divine faction and the hidden cards of the Shenzhou Elder. In any case, increasing the deterrent force for the sake of Xu Yi's life was the right choice.
As day turned to night, a new day arrived.
At dawn, Wang Ping stood atop the Shenzhou Guardian Tower, his white robe billowing in the wind, waiting quietly. Soon after, the Shenzhou Elder and the Guardians of Shenzhou flew into the sky and joined him in vigil.
This scene did not hide anything, and many observers noticed it. They were both astonished and curious, not understanding what was happening.
They were also taken aback by Wang Ping's status. They had no idea of his origins, but the great Shenzhou Elder and the Guardians of Shenzhou stood behind him, clearly treating him as the leader.
However, nobody dared to approach too closely or stare openly. They only cast occasional glances, fearful of being noticed by Wang Ping and his group while struggling to suppress their curiosity.
Suddenly, the situation changed. Ripples appeared in the sky, and a long crack formed. This attracted the attention of the Shenzhou Elder and the Guardians, who became alert, knowing that Apollo, the Main God of Light, was about to descend.
People in the Divine Capital also noticed this unusual phenomenon, and many took out their phones to capture photos or videos. However, some more astute individuals felt a chilling sensation from the bottom of their hearts.
The peculiar behavior of the Shenzhou Elder and the Guardians, along with the cracked sky, indicated that something significant was about to occur, likely related to the gods. Perhaps it was a major event concerning the fate of humanity.
This place was about to become a battlefield, and they wanted to escape, but they lacked the ability to do so quickly. Therefore, they could only watch the sky in fear, imagining the horrifying consequences of a battle between gods.
"By the way, boss, what are we waiting for here early in the morning? Also, Wang Ge, what's going on?" Visibly astonished by the events unfolding, Xu Yi asked two questions in a row.
"Wait, could it be the Main God?" Realization dawned on Xu Yi as he became increasingly nervous.
Although he trusted Wang Ping greatly, the Main God was a truly terrifying entity. After absorbing Hercules' power, Xu Yi had become more aware of how fearsome a Main God could be. Most likely, the Main God's power exceeded what Wang Ping had shown yesterday.
"Boss, it's just a Main God. Why are you worried?" Wang Ping sighed upon seeing Xu Yi's unease.
"Well..." Xu Yi hesitated, unsure of how to respond.
"Yes, it's just a Main God. With Wang Ping here, he can definitely handle it easily," the Shenzhou Elder chimed in, nodding. This left Xu Yi looking even more bewildered.
What on earth had happened while he was unconscious? Why did the Shenzhou Elder, whom he had only seen online, and the Guardians of Shenzhou trust Wang Ping more than him, a fellow Transmigrator?
"And it's just a Main God, so you don't need to worry," Wang Ping added with a hint of sarcasm.
God, an entity that humanity in this world cannot directly face. Anyone who dares to gaze upon the majesty of the deity without any protection will pay a heavy price.
"This guy really knows how to act."
Wang Ping remained calm, looking at the divine Apollo, with a slight frown.
However, Wang Ping had no intention of directly taking action.
He wanted to earn group points, so he needed to make sure that the divine Apollo displayed enough power to destroy humanity.
Otherwise, if he directly killed Apollo, and the world's consciousness didn't see any threat and didn't acknowledge it, what would he do? He would be at a loss.
At this moment, the divine Apollo didn't even glance at the God Emperor of the Divine Land and the Divine Land Guardians.
It seemed that in his eyes, these deity slayers and ordinary humans were no different, to be ignored.
He did indeed possess such power.
The power of the Seventh Tier of the Yin-Yang Mirror and the Half-Step Life-and-Death Realm was too far apart. Once they started fighting, the divine Apollo could easily crush the God Emperor of the Divine Land.
Even the God Emperor was like this, let alone the Divine Land Guardians.
The strength of these people was equivalent to the first or second tier of the Yin-Yang Mirror at most.
As for Wang Ping, he concealed his aura and was also ignored.
"The Eastern Divine Lineage, with the scale of a divine lineage, dares to oppose the Alliance of Deities, how arrogant, how proud."
"However, after so many years of war, the gods have to admit the strength of this divine lineage. With the power of a divine lineage, they have been able to hold their own against the Alliance of Deities, forcing our god to descend and deal with some ants, cutting off their lifelines."
The divine Apollo's eyes shone like the sun as he looked down at the divine capital, his expression cold.
"The Dragon Vein of the Divine Land, the human race of the Divine Land, the lifeline of the Eastern Divine Lineage, shall be destroyed."
Then, a bow and arrow appeared directly in the hand of the divine Apollo, and a terrifying divine light began to gather, forming an arrow that shot towards the guardian tower of the divine capital.
This arrow carried the power of a major deity and the divine authority of the divine Apollo, enough to directly destroy the Divine Land.
In the face of this arrow, the protective formation of the divine capital was directly pierced and on the verge of shattering.
In the presence of the gods' power, the protective formation of the divine capital was still somewhat fragile.
Just as the God Emperor of the Divine Land was shocked, Wang Ping appeared in front of the divine Apollo in an instant, grabbing the arrow in his hand.
"Hmm?"
The expression on the divine Apollo's face finally changed as he looked in surprise at the sudden appearance of Wang Ping and the arrow caught in Wang Ping's hand.
"Human?"
The divine Apollo stared at Wang Ping with some astonishment, and after sensing Wang Ping's aura, his expression changed again, looking somewhat incredulous.
A human, unexpectedly possessed such formidable power and had caught his arrow imbued with divine authority.
This was a blow from a major deity, enough to directly annihilate the Divine Land, and yet Wang Ping had directly caught it with one hand. This was something even that madman, the God of War Ares, would find difficult to do.
"Crack!"
While the divine Apollo was still in shock, Wang Ping applied a little force with his right hand and directly crushed the divine arrow, making it disappear into specks of light.
"Too weak."
Wang Ping gave his evaluation.
The assessment from the simulator was quite fair.
The divine Apollo was only equivalent to a relatively powerful Half-Step Life-and-Death Realm.
However, even a relatively powerful Half-Step Life-and-Death Realm was still just that, far from reaching the level of a true Life-and-Death Realm. Compared to him, the difference was too great.
"Weak? You dare call me weak as the Divine Apollo?"
The divine Apollo regained his senses, and his expression turned ugly.
Gods were proud and arrogant, and being looked down upon by humans whom he regarded as ants infuriated the divine Apollo.
He erupted with terrifying divine power, making the sky extremely bright, as if there were nothing in the world except light.
This horrifying radiance caused the God Emperor of the Divine Land and the Divine Land Guardians to involuntarily close their eyes, feeling as if they were about to go blind.
However, before the divine Apollo could fully erupt, Wang Ping's figure instantly appeared in front of him, his palm directly gripping the divine Apollo's cheek, and a terrifying power surged out, forcibly suppressing his divine power.
"Ignorant rage is one thing, but don't shine as brightly as a light bulb; it's a bit annoying."
Wang Ping's expression remained indifferent as he spoke slowly.
"!!!"
Feeling his power being forcibly suppressed, the divine Apollo's expression changed once again, revealing an expression of incredulity.
He couldn't believe that a human could do such a thing, nor could he accept that a human had instantly suppressed his power, rendering him powerless to resist.
"Watch closely; I'll only do this once. This is how the power of light is used."
While the divine Apollo's state of mind was in turmoil, Wang Ping's voice rang out again.
Then, Wang Ping mobilized the light attribute mana within him.
In an instant, a large number of light particles began to surge, condensing into a giant of light in the sky.
"Wow!"
Xu Yi looked at this giant of light, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed in amazement.
Wow, Brother Wang really knows how to play. Turning the power of light into a giant of light to kill the divine Apollo is quite extravagant.
The divine Apollo also looked at the giant of light, somewhat dazed.
He didn't understand the meaning of the giant of light, but he could see the tremendous power contained within it.
Among them, the power of the light element was even greater than his own.
What a joke.
He was the Divine Apollo, yet a human's light attribute power was greater than his own. This was a blow to his pride as the Divine Apollo.
For a moment, the divine Apollo's state of mind crumbled even more.
It was only when his state of mind was in turmoil that Wang Ping directly threw him out.
Immediately after that, the giant of light struck a strange posture and directly used a beam of light to engulf the divine Apollo.
A terrifying explosion occurred in the high sky, and rings of light shot out in all directions, forming a cloudless sky but with the strange sight of light particles falling, astonishing countless onlookers.
"Uh..."
Xu Yi looked at this scene with a strange expression, his face full of complexity.
It's over just like this?
This is the Divine Apollo, one of the twelve major deities of Mount Olympus in Greece, and he was actually killed without any resistance. Moreover, he was killed in such a dramatic manner, making it difficult to know how to evaluate it.
"Ding, congratulations to group member Wang Ping (66) for resolving the human crisis in this world and receiving a reward of 500,000 group points."
At this point, the voice in the chat group rang out, causing Wang Ping to furrow his brow slightly.
"What's going on? Only 500,000 group points? The divine Apollo, who was only at the Half-Step Life-and-Death Realm, is really undervalued."
Wang Ping was somewhat dissatisfied.
"This is a human crisis that has occurred in this world, not an invasion by outsiders. Although the world loves humanity, it doesn't mean it will fully favor humanity. You've received a reward of 500,000 group points, which is already quite good."
The cold voice of Alpha rang out.
"Alright," Wang Ping said with some regret, but he could only accept it.
Having 500,000 group points was better than having none.
"The power of the Lord of Light is coming."
At this moment, the Divine Land Guardians and others were once again filled with spirit, looking towards the sky.
After the fall of the Lord of Light, a large number of light particles began to move towards Wang Ping, trying to enter his body.
The Divine Land Guardians were quite envious of this.
After all, this was the power of a main deity. If someone in the Divine Land could obtain the power of a main deity, they would be relatively safe to some extent.
Even if another main deity were to descend in the future, they would have the power to fight back.
"The power of the main deity? Useless to me."
While the Divine Land Guardians were envious, Wang Ping spoke calmly.
Then, Wang Ping used a technique to condense these light particles, locking them with spatial and light elements, compressing and condensing them with a secret method, and finally forming a crystal-clear white bead.
Within it was a powerful divine power.
Seeing this scene, the Divine Land Guardians were all astonished, realizing that this bead contained the power of the Lord of Light, Apollo.
Perhaps it could be used to bestow this power upon someone else.
At that time, a main deity slayer would be born.
For a moment, many people were excited.
"Lord Wang Ping, I wonder if you would be willing to make a deal with us."
The God Emperor of the Divine Land took a deep breath, looking solemn as he spoke.
"A deal? What can you offer in exchange for the bead?"
Wang Ping looked at the God Emperor and spoke calmly.
"Uh..."
The God Emperor fell silent, unable to find the words. Although they had some resources, there was nothing of value that could match the main deity's bead.
Without something to exchange, he had no qualifications to negotiate with Wang Ping.
For a moment, the God Emperor wore a bitter smile and could only give up.
At this point, Wang Ping handed the Lord of Light's bead to Xu Yi.
"Brother, are you giving this to me?" Xu Yi exclaimed in surprise.
"What are you thinking? I just want to see if you can activate the Multiplying Golden Finger," Wang Ping transmitted his thoughts with some exasperation.
Did he think he didn't care about anything and could give everything away? Letting Xu Yi slay Heracles was already a great favor to him, showing special care.
Wanting the power of the Lord of Light was just being greedy.
"Ah, is that so?" Xu Yi responded awkwardly.
"Failure?"
Wang Ping frowned slightly.
"Not necessarily. If it doesn't trigger within an hour, then it's considered a failure," Xu Yi explained via telepathy.
"Very well, I'll wait for you for an hour," Wang Ping said, his eyes glinting.
While Wang Ping and Xu Yi were communicating secretly, the Divine Land Guardians, seeing Wang Ping giving the bead to Xu Yi, admired Xu Yi even more in addition to their envy.
Xu Yi's position in Wang Ping's eyes seemed to be quite good, and he was likely a specially trained individual.
Next, Wang Ping and the others had no intention of lingering in the sky and returned directly to the Divine Land Guardian Tower.
"Wang Ge, I have something to say, not sure if I should."
Xu Yi looked conflicted and couldn't help but speak up.
"What is it?" Wang Ping glanced at him, signaling him to speak up.
"In fact, I have always had a doubt. The rules of our world are quite unique. If we leave this world, can we still inherit the power of the gods?"
Xu Yi scratched his chin and asked.
"I've thought about this issue before. To take a god's power, one must slay a god in this world and seize their power with the help of the world's rules. However, the Lord of Light's situation is different; I sealed that power."
Wang Ping nodded slightly, calmly explaining.
"In other words, it is possible to inherit the power even when leaving other worlds. If you want to experiment, it won't be difficult for me."
With the Life Simulator, conducting experiments without wasting the power of the Lord of Light's bead was quite simple.
However, Xu Yi seemed more restless than Wang Ping had imagined. In a nutshell, he was too greedy. Wang Ping had already made it clear that Xu Yi was thinking too much, but he still hadn't given up.
"I see," Xu Yi responded with regret.
Seeing Xu Yi's regretful expression, Wang Ping's opinion of him dropped even further.
However, Wang Ping didn't say much and didn't show any unusual expressions. The Golden Finger was still useful, after all.
But he wouldn't focus on cultivating Xu Yi anymore.
People with such characters tended to cause trouble due to their greed.
It would be troublesome later on.
"Alpha, can we add a function for live streaming and recording videos? After Xu Yi triggers the Golden Finger each time, he should upload a video or live stream it."
Wang Ping said silently in his heart.
With Xu Yi's demonstrated greed, if they were to implement the resource multiplication plan, he would likely be even more greedy and secretly consume resources, which would be detrimental to sustainable development.
Therefore, Wang Ping planned to establish clear rules and transparency. Sharing resources was acceptable, but if someone took more than their share, it would not be allowed.
One Alpha with a hidden agenda was already enough; Wang Ping didn't want to see a second one in the chat group.
"Of course," Alpha's cold voice rang out. "But..."
"But what?" Wang Ping frowned.
"But please stop silently criticizing me in your heart. What do you mean by 'Alpha with a hidden agenda'?" Alpha's cold voice spoke.
"Ha," Wang Ping sneered inwardly, leaving Alpha to figure it out for itself. Did it not know if it had a hidden agenda or not? Also, it was being petty now, despite claiming not to care about the members of the group.
"Regarding the plan to use your Golden Finger to multiply resources, I will explain it in the chat group. To make the group members believe, the issue of resource distribution after multiplication must be clarified. In addition, you must livestream when activating the Golden Finger. Otherwise, everyone will still have doubts."
Wang Ping didn't continue the conversation with Alpha and turned his attention to Xu Yi, speaking with seriousness.
"Oh, do I have to livestream?"
Xu Yi hesitated.
"Of course, you have to livestream. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, I won't be able to guarantee it."
Wang Ping's tone carried a meaningful undertone.
"But, doesn't the chat group lack a livestream feature?" Xu Yi asked in confusion.
"It will have one in the future. You can apply for it in the chat group if it benefits the group's development. The chat group will seriously consider adding functions that are beneficial to its development."
Wang Ping calmly sipped his tea and said.
"Alright."
Xu Yi felt a bit helpless but could only nod.
An hour later, there was still no change in the Lord of Light's bead. Wang Ping felt disappointed and took it back before leaving this world.
Seeing Wang Ping leave with the
Lord of Light's bead, Xu Yi also felt regretful. Although he coveted it, there was nothing he could do to obtain it.
Upon returning to the Purple Spirit Realm, Wang Ping said in his mind, "System, I want to spend 300,000 top-grade spirit stones to initiate a paid simulation."
He wanted to experiment to see if someone else could inherit the power of the Lord of Light from the bead. Of course, the experiment was just a side matter.
Even without this experiment, Wang Ping would continue simulating to comprehend the embryonic form of his domain as quickly as possible, achieving invincibility within the same realm through cumulative rewards.
"Ding, payment successful. Life Simulator activated. Talent refresh in progress."
The system's voice sounded.
"Ding, talent refresh successful. Congratulations, host, you have refreshed a red-tier talent: Concealed Aura."
