Chapter 0990: Kern Must Die
readx;?? (Thank you o⊙_⊙o for the big red envelope tip!) )
Li Xun is a person with a strong sense of crisis. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although he did not anticipate the first intelligent brain, with the assistance of many cemetery heroes, he took every step very steadily. At the critical juncture, he can also take risks with his heart in order to occupy the best position in the future development of the pattern.
This can be seen from the fact that he dared to take the initiative to provoke the United Council of the Undead when the power of the cemetery was not yet formed, and plotted to seize the undead world from the other party.
It can be said responsibly that there is no world of the dead, and there is no current cemetery.
The cemetery is among the main planes of the strong, and if you want to squeeze out a little living space for yourself, you have to be terrified, lest you become someone else's food in your mouth and a meal on your plate. It was precisely because of the seizure of the undead realm and the abyss plane successively that the Great Necropolis grew rapidly in a blowout way.
However, there is always a limit to what can be expanded in each region. Although the undead world is good, it is already broken. Although the demon plane is good, most of them are things with masters. The Necropolis is now crowded with two demon planes, which has already vaguely attracted the attention of some demon lords.
According to Hilgai, during this period of time, the demon plane where he is located has frequently appeared some other demon lords or demon commanders' subordinates, which is quite a bit of a mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings.
Working hard in the abyss plane, without the strength of a demigod, it is difficult to grow into a real big force. Stealthily usurping two small planes like the Great Cemetery is already the limit. Even if the cemetery is careful, it still attracts some coveted guys.
In the foreseeable future, if the Necropolis does not have a demigod or has enough legendary heritage, it will be difficult for the Abyss Plane to hold its current territory, let alone continue to extend outward.
In the Abyss World, Legends are just cannon fodder for dimensional wars, and only demigod demons or demigod lichs are slightly more advanced fighters. Those who really have the right to speak and the qualifications to play chess are those evil gods, demon princes, and demon lords who are above level 30.
And on the main plane of Crane, the appearance of the Zerg demigods also heralded a great crisis.
If Crane was just a weak and inconspicuous main plane, perhaps Angela's eyes wouldn't have focused on it so quickly. It was precisely because the main plane of Klein had developed to the peak of the middle plane and urgently needed a breakthrough to break out of the cocoon into a butterfly, so its indulgence and adventure finally brought a catastrophe to itself.
However, as the saying goes, "blessings and misfortunes depend on each other"! Today's calamity may be a leap forward in the future, and no one can foresee everything in advance of such an ethereal thing. So just as a flower blooming will inevitably attract bees and butterflies, all the disasters that have befallen the Crane Plane so far are actually self-inflicted.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the high status of the station and the far-reaching view that this kind of ethereal thing that used to be now spread out in front of Li Xun as clearly and completely as a book, allowing him to initially spy on the existence and rhythm of the consciousness in place through various magical and mysterious changes.
Dimensional consciousness is eager to evolve! Dimensional consciousness is looking forward to a breakthrough! In this process, the dimensional pattern will be violently turbulent, the local consciousness will be sharply rubbed, and all the conflicts and contradictions hidden in the past will be stimulated one by one.
The appearance of Li Xun and the arrival of the Angela Zerg are actually part of this kind of hidden changes. And all of this is motivated by the desire to find an opportunity for the breakthrough and leap of the Klein plane!
It is precisely because he vaguely grasped the pulse of the plane consciousness that the cemetery led by Li Xun did not hesitate to stir up the wind and rain, and even exposed most of his strength in advance to participate in this huge change. Only by giving the wind a good ride in this monstrous wave can the cemetery succeed in usurping the biggest fruit of victory with a small and large scale.
And if you want to make the cemetery have the last laugh, strong self-strength is also essential.
Opportunistic and forceful use can indeed make the Necropolis make a lot less effort than other plane forces. But when the final picture is poor and the fruits of victory are divided, the only thing that can be relied on is the individual strength of the red fruit.
Why do the three major church organizations in the South lack a sense of existence until now, and rarely see any major political moves from them? One of the main reasons is that they have the support of the gods behind them, and they also have a glimpse of the root cause of this great turmoil that has affected the entire plane. Therefore, they are like experienced chess players who have predicted the hole cards in advance, and they are not in a hurry to fight, but instead rein in their edge, and coldly watch other forces fight for their lives in the bloody storm with the attitude of spectators.
In contrast, the Mage Guild, which has been advancing bravely for nearly a thousand years, is a little irritable. Many legendary mages may have vaguely guessed some of the deep secrets of the plane through the rhythm of the laws of the plane, but in the face of the turbulent pattern changes, in the face of the temptation of powerful and lucrative interests, they have never been able to jump out of the quagmire, and finally plunged themselves deeply into this huge whirlpool.
However, the cemetery led by Li Xun took the initiative to jump into this whirlpool. They are different from these old big powers, they lack the necessary foundation, they lack the strength to fight for the final victory. Therefore, the torrent marches bravely, using the test of blood and fire to grow rapidly in the huge whirlpool, and strive to make himself stronger and more deterrent when the last moment comes.
This is the main reason for the crazy progress of the cemetery during this time!
The heroes of the cemetery are all fighting bloodily in the Elven Continent for the thriving growth of the cemetery, and Li Xun, as the master of the cemetery, what can he do after seeing the vein of fate?
Demigods!
If the Necropolis could have a demigod of its own, then all problems would be solved. No matter how the dimensional pattern changes in the future, no one will be able to erase the existence of the Great Necropolis, and no one will dare to covet the interests of the Great Necropolis. This is the change Li Xun wants most!
But the answer that the old corpse witch brought to Li Xun obviously did not have the one he wanted to hear the most.
The old corpse witch gave Li Xun three answers.
First, and by far the best answer.
Li Xun embarked on the path of becoming a god, trying to find a way to break through the legendary threshold in a short period of time, and then fused the death godhead according to the method they had summed up. Once successfully integrated, Li Xun will leap to a terrifying existence of level 31 in a short period of time, laying the foundation for the future political pattern of the cemetery in one fell swoop.
However, there are pros and cons to this approach.
Li, it is the support of a god of death behind the cemetery, coupled with the vigorous development of the cemetery during this time, it is expected to grow into a top force that dominates the Crane plane.
The disadvantage is that Li Xun will become a death god from now on, and he will also be strongly rejected by the Crane plane, and can only live in the kingdom of God he built like those gods, and it will be difficult to step into the plane again.
And most importantly, there is a serious ideological conflict between Fengshen and Li Xun's cognition.
Li Xun has always regarded the gods as poor worms bound to the plane, and he is extremely repulsive to their short-sighted behavior. In Li Xun's cognition, controlling the operation of the rules of a huge plane with the faint consciousness of a mortal is equivalent to putting a small pebble into a huge and sophisticated machine for grinding. Sooner or later, the faint consciousness of mortals will be wiped clean by the cold and ruthless power of rules.
At that time, what is in that position may be an unconscious regular body that used to be named Li Xun.
If there is no consciousness of self-existence, what if immortality is not extinguished? It's just a ball of divine rule power that has been assimilated by plane consciousness, is it still me Li Xun?
It is precisely because of this realization that Li Xun has an indescribable fear and rejection of the gods.
My world, my way! And the premise of all this is that I am still me!
Therefore, the moment the first answer was presented, it was denied.
The second answer is to borrow the immortal body left by Kern.
Li Xun still needs to strengthen his soul in a short period of time, at least reach the threshold of legend, and then steal this immortal body that has been well cultivated by Kern, and then use the immortal body to drive the death godhead.
This method is tantamount to treating the immortal body as a shell or battle armor, and the death godhead is sadly reduced to a strange source of energy.
The immortal body is at the demigod level, the death godhead is at the god level, and the soul of Li Xun who drives all this is at the legendary level. It's like fitting a good horse with a tattered and ill-fitting saddle and then handing it over to the worst rider. The combat power it can exert can be imagined!
However, no matter how inferior the combat power is, it is also a demigod, and it will never be a problem to crush the legend.
But in this way, Li Xun will be forced to abandon his original physical body and exist in the form of a soul body, and the improvement of his personal strength in the future will also become a big problem. This...... This is simply the most unacceptable form for Li Xun.
As for the third answer, Li Xun stationed this immortal body in the form of a soul clone, and then violently used the power of the Death Godhead in the form of a one-time prop.
The advantage of this is that it can explode once at the level of a demigod, but the disadvantage is that if it is used once, Li Xun's doppelganger consciousness will be exhausted, and if you want to continue to use it, you can only drag it back and hold another soul stationing ceremony.
This is equivalent to launching a demigod-level powerful force at the cost of Li Xun's sacrifice of part of his soul every time. It still sounds quite cost-effective, if you don't consider the pain when Li Xun cut his soul!
However, there is also a huge hidden danger in doing so, and that is the existence of Kern.
After all, this body belonged to Kern, the Lord of Death. If Kern is dead and his soul is gone, then the aftermath is not so great. But now Kern is not dead, but is hiding in the Crane plane. Once it is allowed to reclaim the godhead of death through the connection between the divine soul and the immortal body, then the Great Graveyard will be a real lot of fun.
After all, Li Xun was only stationed in the form of a soul clone, and if he competed with Kern, the original master, for the control of his body, he would naturally not have an advantage.
Therefore, if Li Xun wants to use the third way to manipulate the immortal body and the death godhead, then Kern must die!
