"The first step is to open up the domain!"
Lin Xiao is quite interested in this step. Although he has opened up the divine domain once, at that time, there were special divine domain seeds for opening up the divine domain. Then, guided by the school teachers, the success rate of opening up the divine domain was as high as 100%. At least at this stage, there are so many newcomers opening up the divine domain every year, and I have never heard of anyone failing.
After countless generations of research and improvement by the strong men of the main world, the opening up of the divine domain of the main world is not difficult at all, but because it is not difficult and easy, it is quite secretive. Ordinary people cannot feel the opening up of the divine domain at all, do not know how to open up the divine domain, and do not know the principle of opening up the divine domain. They only know that doing this can successfully open up the divine domain.
According to the general method of opening up the domain given by Lisa, he needs to restrain all his mental power and gather it in the spiritual sea of consciousness, which is the residence of the soul and totem.
After becoming a formal totem master, the way of growth of the totem master is to continuously strengthen the totem with various precious materials, strengthen the soul with a large amount of divine power, and then merge the totem with the soul when the limit is reached.
In other words, the soul enters the totem and then uses secret methods combined with a large amount of parasitic power to weave an independent space around the totem. When the space that accommodates the soul and the totem can be stable and not collapse, the domain is successfully opened up.
It looks simple, but this process is actually more difficult than ordinary people can imagine, at least it is quite difficult for the totem masters of this world, because they need to face two levels that seem nothing to the cheating Lin Xiao, but are difficult for ordinary totem masters in this world. The
first level is to integrate the blood and flesh of countless monsters and the parasitic power, and the alienated power and the mixed thoughts in the parasitic power. The second level
is to build a stable space out of thin air without the experience of predecessors, and after the space is successfully built, it must accept the impact of the will of the crystal wall universe and not collapse. In Chinese mythology, it can be called a tribulation. If you can survive, you will be a totem lord, and if you can't survive, you will die. In addition to
these two conditions, other things such as sufficient resources and parasitic power are basic conditions, and they are not called levels at all.
According to the general method of opening up, Lin Xiao controlled his soul to enter the golden ancient tree in his sea of mind. At this time, his sea of mind gathered a huge amount of faith power. If it were someone else, they could use the power of the gods instead.
The soul is located in the totem, with the totem as the body. As his mind moved, the totem in the sea of mind began to emit an invisible wave.
This wave spread from his body that gradually turned into pure gold. The void of the underground space began to ripple faintly, gradually spreading to the surroundings, and spread to more than 100 meters away, just the same size as the huge metal disc where he sat cross-legged. It stopped.
This range of fluctuations is the size of the domain he is going to open up.
Without a civilization system as perfect as Gaia, Nightmare or Spirit Realm, the domain that this totem lord has just opened up is not that big. His domain with a radius of 100 meters is still a relatively large initial area in the totem civilization. The diameter of many totem lords' newly opened domains may be less than 10 meters, especially those lucky ones who took the upper monster as a totem model and got to this step by luck.
Lin Xiao had no feeling for the first difficulty of opening up the totem domain, but for the second difficulty,
he took out the godhead of the space god sent by his true body and pressed it directly between his eyebrows. The godhead submerged the pure gold body and merged into his body, and soon appeared in his sea of mind.
A golden root flew out and rolled up the godhead that appeared in the sea of mind, and placed it in the core of the golden ancient tree and merged into it, appearing in front of Lin Xiao's soul. Looking at the godhead wrapped in dense golden runes, he took a deep breath and opened his mouth to swallow the godhead.
As soon as the godhead was swallowed by his transparent soul emitting a faint golden light, the golden runes on the surface lit up and burned into a faint golden flame. One by one, the runes burned and disappeared, and an inexplicable breath slowly emerged and spread.
He was refining this processed godhead of the space god.
According to the plan, after refining this processed godhead of the space god, his incarnation will briefly possess the power of a true god of the divine domain with the priesthood of space, but it will not affect the incarnation's path to the totem lord.
At that time, he would use the power of the true god to forcefully push the elemental tide, and use the terrifying power generated by the elemental tide to forcefully open a crack in the cosmic crystal wall and communicate with his true body. The
most critical step is to be able to resist the power that will inevitably leak out in the later stage of refining the godhead, and to persist under the pressure of the furious will of the plane until the crack in the cosmic crystal wall is successfully opened.
Although this godhead has been processed and sealed, it can be guaranteed not to be leaked in the early stage, but in the later stage, his strength will definitely exceed the standard. When it exceeds the only true god of this plane, the Holy God, it will inevitably be discovered. At that time, he will definitely face a comprehensive attack from the will of the plane.
During this period, he cannot take action and can only rely on his own men to resist.
Fortunately, the situation in this plane is special. There are no other strong people except the Holy God, and the Holy God is now in the birth stage. It is impossible for him to leave and come to trouble him unless the Holy God gives up the deification.
This may be the case in the later stage, but it will not be the case before the situation in the early stage is completely broken.
In this way, he only needs to face the local forces of this plane and the adventers of the Son of Nightmare and the Son of the Spirit Realm, that is, the Alfonso Kingdom alone will fight against all the kingdoms of the entire plane.
Similarly, the difficulty is greatly reduced. After
so many years of preparation, the strength of the Alfonso Kingdom is simply unimaginable to other empires. It is no problem to defeat other kingdoms, but it will take some time, not to mention just simple defense.
Moreover, it will take a long time for him to refine the godhead to the point where the power cannot be controlled and leaked out. During this time, the kingdom has already started to prepare.
Just as he was in seclusion preparing for the final moment, a huge wooden ship wrapped in a layer of light film came from the void outside the plane. The ship docked at the metal platform at the edge of the plane's crystal wall. A large group of human descenders jumped down, led by four descenders with similar momentum. One of them was a burly man with horns on his head. He strode to the edge of the plane's crystal wall, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the crystal wall. After a few seconds, he nodded:
"It's true. The spiritual energy has just revived. I can feel the faint surge of elemental tides."
Another bald man also stretched out his hand to feel it and said:
"I can feel the imprints of several gods of varying strengths. The most powerful ones are sacred, natural, revenge, war, and, um, there is also a hidden space priesthood. It seems that this plane has a small temple but many great gods."
After saying that, the burly man laughed and said,
"So what? They are just a group of natives, and their spiritual energy has just revived. Their strength has not yet recovered. It's still in our pockets. Let me make it clear that the space priesthood is very useful to me. I want it."
"Bullshit!"
The bald man spat and said,
"Whoever grabs it gets it."
"That's fine! It depends on your ability."
The big man laughed and turned to the platform to descend in front of the magic circle to prepare for the descending.
A week later, Brother Chao sat at the head of the hall with a grim look on his face. There were only six people in the hall besides him, all of them were his loyal subordinates, and they were all cursing at this time:
"I said those guys are unreliable. Look, they came back with a bunch of people, and now look what happened."
"What should we do now? They have already pulled some of their people over. Now our troops have been reduced by one third, and several battlefields on the front have collapsed."
"Let's shrink the front line and negotiate peace first. After a few years of recuperation, we can unify the empire in one go."
"It's unlikely. With so many people coming, they will definitely occupy territory. It is estimated that someone will support the other side to grab a piece of territory."
"Then what should we do?"
Everyone looked at Brother Chao. He seemed to come back to his senses. Facing the inquiring eyes of his subordinates, he said:
"Let's stop fighting first and recuperate. Xinhuo, you can contact Rawl and tell him the current situation. By the way, see if you can buy another batch of potions and elite weapons."
He said in a deep voice:
"Although the situation has changed, it is not all bad for us. At least with less people, the power of faith allocated to us is several times more. Now we occupy two-thirds of the area of the Sarnos Empire, which is almost one and a half of the Alfonso Kingdom. We are the largest in terms of territory."
He said with a smile:
"Even if the plan fails, even if we just hold on to this piece of land for decades, the power of faith collected will be enough for us to be promoted to the Totem Lord and make a lot of money."
Everyone laughed, sweeping away the low morale caused by the separation of the original companions.
"By the way, since the strategy has changed, there is no need to consider the impact. From now on, expand the scope of missionary work, surround the towns from the countryside, and gradually erode the faith area of the Holy Church until it is completely driven away."
North Thasos City, this is the territory of the Duke of Thasos, the former Marshal of the Sarnos Empire. Since the imperial capital was captured, he moved the core of his power here.
Originally, he was worried every day that he would be defeated by the enemy who attacked his territory one day. However, not long ago, the enemy suddenly had an internal conflict, and several elite troops defected and sent him a signal of surrender. Duke Thasos readily agreed to accept these troops, which greatly increased his strength, swept away the previous defeats, not only regained his footing, but also counterattacked several cities.
On this day, Duke Thasos received a truce agreement from the new Emperor Sarnos. He was ready to agree, and before he left the city, he received news that several troops that had just surrendered had launched an attack on the enemy without authorization. The agreement that had not yet been submitted was naturally invalidated, and the two sides fought again. The new adventers
blatantly initiated a dispute regardless of the rule that the same camp should not fight when there are other civilizations. This made Brother Chao both surprised and annoyed. Obviously, this group of new adventers was the kind that did not follow the rules. In order to stabilize their position and expand their power, they directly attacked their own people. There were
not many such people, but there were, and they were very annoying. He could do nothing about it. After all, the strength of the new arrivals was not much different from his, and he could not suppress them.
