"Yes, it's a good holiday. What about you? Are you here to train as well?"
"I'm not. I'm here to perform military duties."
"Well, I remember that those who performed well in the Super Freshman Summer Camp would be selected into the military, and you and His Excellency Dragon Emperor were both selected."
Gu Cheng looked as if he understood everything and didn't think too much about it.
Then they chatted for a while until their companions in the back whispered about going to eat something, and Gu Cheng said to him,
"We're going to eat something, do you want to join us?"
Lin Xiao smiled and nodded:
"sure!"
Several people were stunned for a moment. His answer was probably beyond their expectations.
In a restaurant that mainly serves grilled exotic meats, a group of people gathered together. The table was filled with exotic ingredients, including delicious wind snake meat, grilled Tabu lamb, boiled blue fish, butter salmon, spore grilled meat, spicy lobster, etc.
After all the dishes were served, before we started eating, the manager brought up three plates of Storm Steaks that still had tiny lightning bolts on them and said to Lin Xiao:
"This is the specialty of our shop, please try it."
Everyone looked at him in surprise, and the store manager explained:
"It's free."
Everyone looked at Lin Xiao again, and the petite Dai Lingtong asked:
"It looks like you're doing pretty well here."
Lin Xiao waved his hand and smiled:
"It's just so-so. I only manage about twenty people."
"That's quite unusual, too. He should be a squad leader or deputy squad leader in charge of more than 20 people."
"Uh-huh."
He vaguely skipped over the subject.
Twenty or so true gods are still twenty people.
Although it was a bit weird at the beginning, we are all young people, and we became less restrained after getting to know each other.
Even if Tang Ling and others in Gucheng had an average relationship with him before, so much time has passed and everyone has grown up. It's not a deep hatred and it has been resolved long ago.
After dinner, they exchanged contact information and said goodbye.
After turning a corner, guard Lin Shiyi stood there, reporting information about Gu Cheng and others and their families in a low voice as he walked.
I don't mean anything else, I just want to get to know their situation.
"When you've been away for three days, you should look at him with new eyes. I haven't seen him for a few years, but he not only got into the Huiyao Super Academy, but he's also doing well in the army. He's now a captain. If he continues to develop like this, he will most likely be able to become a god in the future."
Gu Cheng recalled the scene when he first met Lin Xiao and sighed with emotion.
When the young men and women nearby heard this, they were speechless for a moment, and their expressions were quite complicated, especially those who knew Lin Xiao.
Back at the command center, Lin Xiao's will sank into the Rubik's Cube of Creation and continued the genetic adjustment of the fifth generation of cavemen.
Compared with the genetic adjustments of the previous generations of cavemen, the genetic adjustments of the fifth generation of cavemen are very large. This is also the last adjustment of the cavemen, and they will not adjust again after that.
After all, this is not his own clan in the divine realm, so there is no need to spend too much cost to adjust it. It is already very powerful now, and further adjustments will consume too much energy.
It's not that it's not worth it, but if the adjustments continue, it will inevitably affect the reproduction rate of the cave dwellers.
Today's cave dwellers have actually reached the balance limit between reproduction rate and individual strength. If the reproduction rate is increased further, it will definitely drop significantly.
He doesn't need to create a new powerful race, so this state is the most suitable.
Just when he was concentrating on studying how to enhance the strength of the fifth generation of underground people without affecting their reproduction speed, or with little impact, an event of great impact happened again in the Underdark.
Maybe he was not satisfied with the current progress, or maybe the strength of the Cryptmen was growing too fast, which made the God of Mind Flayer a little worried. But one day, after besieging the kingdom of the Lord of Darkness for many years, the God of Mind Flayer suddenly revealed his trump card. Four unknown intermediate divine power incarnations with a godhood level as high as level six and more than thirty incarnations of gods suddenly appeared in the divine domain of the Lord of Darkness, and killed the remaining two incarnations of the Lord of Darkness in one fell swoop, causing both sides to suffer losses, forcing the Lord of Darkness's true body to wake up.
At this point, the Lord of Darkness has fallen into a desperate situation.
Although the real body possesses super strong combat power in the kingdom of God, it is no problem for the Lord of Darkness to fight against fifty or sixty big and small incarnations of true gods alone with the power of the kingdom of God, but the real body taking action itself means huge risks.
You must know that true gods generally do not get injured, but once they are injured, it is bound to be an injury involving the divine fire and the divine soul, which is very difficult to recover. Many true gods are injured and fall into a deep sleep, and they sleep for hundreds or even thousands of years.
He can use the power of the Kingdom of God to defeat fifty or sixty incarnations of true gods, big and small, but he will definitely be injured. Once injured, the current situation will be extremely dangerous.
But don't forget, there is also a middle-level divine power on the surface who is obviously more powerful than the Lord of Darkness and is watching closely.
Although all four incarnations were injured and killed in the battle, they must have come prepared and could re-condense the incarnations in a short time. By that time...
After a long silence, Lin Xiao's only incarnation quietly left the hiding place with several of his subordinates' incarnations and headed for the fifth level of the dark area, and the sixth level below.
According to legend, many exiled gods and ancient evil creatures from ancient times live on the sixth layer of the Underdark. They are extremely terrifying existences that even true gods dare not touch.
Lin Xiao took a huge risk to go down, of course not out of curiosity to see what the evil gods and ancient evil creatures looked like, but
he passed through the fifth layer of the Dark Region from a place far away from the area where the Dark Lord's Kingdom was located. At this moment, all the incarnations of the gods in the Dark Region were concentrated in the Dark Lord's Kingdom, and their real bodies' gazes were all cast there. He hid and sneaked past without being discovered.
The incarnation of God, accompanied by a dozen of the True God's subordinates, followed the spiral stone staircase into a deeper area. As soon as they walked out of the passage, they saw in front of them a stalactite forest tens or hundreds of meters high, covered with spider silk as thick as fingers. A giant spider with many human heads glowing green on its back was coiled on the spider web. When they came down, they met the monster's row of compound eyes.
The next second, one of the subordinates stretched out his hand and summoned a thick golden divine lightning that hit the giant spider. Countless tiny golden lightnings spread out to form a golden lightning web that trapped the giant spider and froze it in place, unable to move.
Another subordinate grabbed a wrist-thick, golden divine spear and threw it hard. In an instant, the energy in the void quickly gathered as the spear was thrown. When it hit the target, it had turned into a golden lightning javelin with a diameter of several meters or hundreds of meters long, hitting the target.
In an instant, thunder roared, and thick golden lightning flew around, blasting the surroundings into a mess.
This was a divine beast, a weak one, whose strength was between the ninth and tenth levels. The two incarnations of gods personally attacked it and it had no power to resist, and was killed on the spot.
Before leaving, Lin Xiao collected the corpse of the evil god and the huge spider web. These were all top-quality materials.
Next, a subordinate with the priesthood of thieves in the team restrained the leaked aura of the team, and the group entered the etheric plane and quietly crossed the sixth layer of this dangerous underworld.
The so-called etheric plane is the protective membrane of the inner plane. It is filled with gray fog all year round, so it is also called the shadow plane.
Mortals can use spells or divine arts to briefly enter the etheric plane to avoid attacks from reality, but they cannot enter the etheric plane for a long time, otherwise they may be captured by the etheric plane and unable to escape.
Since all of them are true gods, they can naturally enter and exit the etheric plane for a long time.
Generally speaking, evil gods also have the ability to enter and exit the etheric plane, but most of the time evil gods do not often observe the situation in the etheric plane, so as long as they are careful not to get too close to those powerful evil gods or ancient evil creatures, they will not be discovered.
The terrain of the sixth layer of the Underdark is very similar to the karst landform on the surface of the earth. In addition, because the gods and evil creatures living here are too powerful, even the famous black dragons in the Underdark are just small guys here. They change the terrain at any time, resulting in strange and bizarre terrain here.
More than ten days later, they traveled a straight-line distance of several thousand kilometers and arrived at a certain area, which was not far from the kingdom of the Lord of Darkness on the upper level.
The team gathered on a U-shaped stone pillar hanging upside down on the dome. Lin Xiao began to assign tasks and asked them to disperse and wait.
The one he is waiting for is of course the Lord of Darkness. He has come all the way here not to see the evil spirits and demons.
According to his idea, if the Lord of Darkness was forced into a desperate situation and had to flee, the most likely escape direction would definitely be the sixth level of the Underdark.
Although this floor is filled with evil spirits and demons, including some terrifying giants that even true gods cannot defeat, for the Lord of Darkness, this place is definitely more suitable for escape than the fourth floor above.
It was obvious that the gods of the Underdark were watching him closely at this moment, and many weak true gods were probably preparing their true bodies. Once he escaped from the kingdom of God into the fourth level, he would surely be besieged by the gods.
Although the Underdark is dangerous, the gods and ancient evil creatures living here will not deliberately surround it. As long as you are careful and hide in the depths of the sixth layer of the Underdark, or venture into the seventh layer, you may be able to avoid this crisis.
Lin Xiao was not sure whether the Lord of Darkness thought so, but the probability here was relatively high.
Time passed day by day, and the sixth layer of the Underdark was extremely quiet. After countless tens of thousands of years, the gods and ancient evil creatures here had already divided their own territories. Without external forces, there were very few fights, and the real madmen had all died long ago.
An unknown amount of time had passed, but Lin Xiao, who was sitting cross-legged on top of a stone pillar, suddenly heard an angry roar from the soul level. He looked up abruptly and saw that the void in a certain direction in the distance was filled with distortion and expansion, and then a dark gold divine light ball emitting an extremely powerful aura jumped out from the expansion.
"It's really here!"
He stood up quickly, took a step and disappeared.
When he appeared again, he was several kilometers away, just in time to see a figure shrouded in dark golden divine light who was pressing down the ground within a radius of hundreds of meters with one palm, and rocks hundreds of meters thick turned into dust and flew up.
Sensing Lin Xiao's presence, a pressured will looked over. The Lord of Darkness immediately recognized him and snorted coldly:
"You think you can take advantage of me? You are courting death!"
