Chapter 481 Pluto's Road to Godhood, Devouring the Shrine!
Sakura Shogunate, Heian Kyo.
After Tokugawa Shinji returned with Li Guanqi, they parted ways in front of the Tokugawa family residence.
Li Guanqi booked a room at a random inn, closed the door and sat inside. He took out two golden stones from his space necklace, holding one in each hand.
Mu Lingshi!
One of them was naturally given by Shinji Tokugawa, and the other was a simulator reward.
"Buzz——"
As Li Guanqi released his spiritual power and echoed with the two Mu Ling Stones, the two golden stones also began to shine with an icy blue spiritual light - the same color as Li Guanqi's spiritual power.
Mu Lingshi is a seven-star resource that can help seven-star conjurers increase their spiritual strength.
But this sentence does not mean that it can only be used by seven-star conjurers. In fact, the effect of Mu Lingshi is very mild. It is subtle, moisturizing things and silently helping people to increase their spiritual strength.
This is also the origin of the word "Mu".
Even a one-level magician can use Mu Lingshi to increase the strength of his spiritual power, but it is too wasteful.
Because the Mu Ling Stone is a one-time use item, when a one-level magician uses the Mu Ling Stone, it can only be upgraded to the limit of the one-level level, and then the Mu Ling Stone will be scrapped.
Mu Lingshi is indeed a good thing. Due to its characteristics, using it to enhance spiritual power will not cause phenomena such as spiritual power spreading and violent vibrations within a few hundred meters after the improvement is completed.
It is precisely because of this that Li Guanqi can use it in this small inn.
"Buzz——"
Soon, the golden light emitted by the two Mu Lingshi flickered for a while, and then completely lost its luster.
In Li Guanqi's body, the spiritual energy fluctuations also experienced subtle changes, but they did not spread outwards. Instead, they quickly became calm and stabilized their current state.
[Spiritual power: lv.69→lv.71! (71.6)]
Two Mu Lingshi, upgraded to level 2, is pretty good.
"Owner!"
At this time, Shunkong's voice sounded in Li Guanqi's mind, "I will help you correct and restore your memory now."
"Um."
Li Guanqi nodded, "Let's get started."
Soon, his eyes became wandering, but he regained his composure after a few seconds, "So that's it...it turned out that I replaced the 'meaning' in the puzzle with the 'end', and that's how I misled Shinji Tokugawa to do what he did."
Made the wrong choice."
"Master, let's go back!"
At this time, Shunkong's slightly excited voice sounded again, "I have locked the space coordinates of that place, let's go back and get Ares's divine armor! That shielding mechanism that has blocked space for so many years
, the divine power is almost exhausted. It can block the Jiugong level, but it cannot block me who is also a divine weapon!"
"Shunkong, since I met you, you have provided me with so much help."
Li Guanqi stood up with a smile, "Let's go then!"
"Buzz——"
As soon as he finished speaking, a space crack appeared beside him, and twisted colorful brilliance flickered in it.
Li Guanqi stepped into it in one step.
…
…
There was a sudden spin.
When Li Guanqi regained his sight, what came into view was the puzzle stone slab engraved with "What is the meaning of life?"
He looked around, and behind him was the vast arena.
Back.
The ruins of the gods, the first level of space secrets in the ruins of the castle... And the Ares divine armor is hidden in the second level of space secrets behind the second puzzle stone tablet.
"Bang!"
Li Guanqi withdrew his gaze, looked at the puzzle stone in front of him, stretched out his hand and pushed it to the ground, breaking it into pieces.
"boom!"
Golden light explodes!
The golden light that erupted from the broken stone slabs gradually gathered into a portal filled with golden light after a burst of flashes.
"Ah...I smell the smell of broken armor."
The voice of the magic knife sounded in Li Guanqi's mind.
"Is your relationship with him good or bad?"
Li Guanqi asked with a smile.
"All of them."
Demon Sword replied lazily, "The relationship between the God of Death and his master is not bad, but he and I...well, that's it."
"Old enemies."
Shunkong interjected, "The first master of Ares was a guy named the God of War. His combat power was considered to be among the top ten among the gods. However, every time the God of Killing and the God of War faced off, the result was basically the same.
There is only one kind.
The God of Death cannot break the God of War's defense.
The God of War, on the other hand, could not touch the clothes of the God of Death at all.
Among the gods, some people use the metaphors of 'the sharpest spear' and 'the hardest shield' to describe the God of Death and the God of War, and some people joke that the combination of these two people is destined to ascend to the throne of the God King."
"The God of War's self-created law of "controlling the sky" is too strong. Combined with Ares's defensive ability, it is like a turtle shell without any flaws."
Demon Sword said gloomily.
"The Law of Heaven Control?"
Li Guanqi was stunned, "What are you talking about, the Law of Elements, the Law of Killing, the Law of Poison, etc. I can still understand what the Law of Heaven Control is like?"
"A law completely discovered and created by the God of War himself."
Shunkong's voice deepened, "At least there are traces of the killing law of the God of Death. It is a law that is forced to be killed, but the law of controlling the sky... No one knows how to understand this law, because it is too abstract.
But the effect of this law is the ultimate defense, a defense that even the attack power of the God of Death cannot break."
"The God of War is a genius."
Demon Sword also agreed.
"oh……"
Li Guanqi nodded lightly, then couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, "So, the reason why the God of Death and the God of War are called the 'sharpest spear' and 'the hardest shield' by the gods is mainly because of themselves, not
Relying on artifacts?"
"Hahahaha! Of course!"
Upon hearing this, Shunkong burst into laughter.
"That's right."
At this time, Xiaoxue's soft and waxy voice sounded, and she also participated in the discussion, "Master, you have to understand an important point. In this world, there are gods first, and then there are artifacts. The gods themselves are the core, and artifacts are just appendages. Let
What makes people become gods is always themselves, and what makes weapons become divine weapons is also the gods themselves.”
"Boy, you have your own path to walk, and you have your own artifact to build."
There was a hint of smile in Demon Sword's voice, "Whether it's me or Ares, or Shunkong, or Xiaoxue, in fact, none of us are completely suitable for you.
I was born when the God of Death asked a master craftsman to cast the artifact after he became a god. I participated in the entire process from beginning to end and used the Law of Killing to cultivate the embryo of the artifact at all times before it was finally cast.
Therefore, only by entering the Palace of Killing and becoming the God of Killing can I exert my strongest power.
Because I, Demon Sword Lumo, am truly complete when I am attached to the Slaughter Palace.
The same goes for God of War.
If you don't enter the Yutian Shrine, you won't be able to exert the full power of that set of divine armor, and you won't be able to activate it to its strongest defensive state.
This is also the reason why gods rarely seize other people's artifacts, and in most cases they only take one artifact from another.
Because even if they are taken away, they are only used for collection, or just for freshness.
The gods need to be perfectly adapted to the artifact and let the artifact enter its perfect form in order to achieve true 11>2.
Back then... well... Ye Kui back then... was actually in such a situation.
Except for the divine craftsman, no gods were involved in her birth. In other words, she could not resonate with a certain law palace, nor could she achieve a perfect adaptation with any god, nor could she enter a perfect form.
Nature is the weakest artifact.
Therefore, in the mortal stage, master, of course, the more artifacts you have, the better.
But when we reach the stage of gods, master, if you hold us, it actually doesn’t make much sense.
Artifacts that fail to adapt perfectly and cannot enter the perfect state will not greatly enhance the combat power of the gods and are completely dispensable. So by then, you need to obtain an artifact that is fully adapted to you...
Um……"
At this point, Demon Sword's voice deepened, "Nowadays, Ragnarok, they still have the theoretical possibility of resurrection. And the basis of this theory is that after the gods fall, the palaces of the major laws are still there.
It is a dominant state.
For example, the God of Killing has fallen, but the Palace of Killing is still in a state of ownership, and latecomers cannot take over and become the next God of Killing by relying on the Law of Killing.
Therefore, you cannot become the god of death and bring me into a perfect state.
You can't become the Ice God and bring Xiaoxue into a perfect state.
As for Shunkong...this waste is an auxiliary artifact, and it cannot be attached to the Law Palace in the first place, so there is no need to discuss this."
"ah?"
Li Guanqi was stunned, "Yes, I seem to have never asked who the master of Shunkong is. Isn't he the God of Space?"
"There has never been a god who controls the laws of space in the world."
Shunkong smiled, "Not to mention entering the Space Shrine, no one has even opened the Space Shrine. The same is true for the Law of Time. The Law of Time and the Law of Space are very well-known laws, but there is no such thing.
No one has ever been able to open the palace of these two laws, let alone enter it.
The God of Space and the God of Time did not exist in the history of the Old Age.
As for me?
I am an auxiliary artifact.
It was an accident that I was originally created. It does not mean that my master controlled the space and then created me.
Later, my first master stored me in the pantheon of gods, and I became the kind of public artifact that any god would lend me for use and then return again when in need.
To use your 21st century words, Master, I have become a bus... Oh, damn it.
So, I have many masters, but it can also be said that I don’t have any master.
The main reason why I got to know Po Dao was that during that time, the God of Death often came to the temples to pick up girls from the temple priestesses. Then he felt that the appearance of the magic knife was not cool enough and affected his ability to pick up girls, so he put Po Dao and me together.
The more we chatted, the more we became familiar with each other."
"It's a very interesting acquaintance."
Li Guanqi smiled.
"Hahaha yes!"
Shunkong laughed heartily.
Demon Sword also rarely caused trouble and smiled softly.
"Speaking of which...it's not right either."
At this time, Xiaoxue's soft voice sounded, with some thoughts, "In this strange world of time and space, indeed, many laws are occupied. Even if the gods have fallen, they still occupy the divine position and have the possibility of resurrection.
, and also cuts off the opportunity for the next human being to become a god by using this law."
"Um?"
Shunkong was a little surprised, "Xiaoxue, what are you talking about? Do you want to say that the reason why no one became a god in the New Era is because the Law Palace is full?
This theory is untenable.
At the beginning, when Lord Vulcan's nine gods occupied the nine basic elemental laws, people thought that there were only nine gods at most.
But later on, didn’t hundreds of flowers blossom and gods appear together?
Speaking of hundreds of flowers blooming, Ms. Alleria in the West still managed to become the Goddess of Flowers by growing flowers.
Facts have proved that everything in the world can become a law and become a god.
Although the Old Age is long and there are many gods, but if you really want to put it into perspective, there are actually no more than 300 gods in the Old Age, so it is impossible for them to cover all things in the world.
The talents of humans in the New Age are no worse than those in the Old Age, and in a sense are even better.
There are so many things in the world, and it is impossible that even a new law cannot be discovered in the four thousand years of the New Age. It is impossible for them to have no one become a god because of this reason."
"Uh...that's not what I meant, Brother Shunkong."
Xiaoxue was speechless for a moment and said helplessly: "Where are you talking about? You are talking a lot. I am too lazy to think about the reasons why New Age people cannot become gods. What I mean is that in this world called the 'Weird World' Time and space, the Law of Killing, and the Law of Ice are all occupied, and the master cannot become the God of Killing or the God of Ice.
What if we return to reality?
That was the 21st century, an era before the Old Era. In that era, the first-generation God of Death and the first-generation Ice God were not even born.
Therefore, in real time and space, both the Killing Palace and the Ice Palace should be in an ownerless state.
And if you can’t become a god in the new era, then you can in the 21st century, right?
In other words, if the master wanted to become the God of Death or the God of Ice, would he be able to enter the Divine Palace at that time?
Then, the master can perfectly use Brother Lumo or me?
Do you think this is the case?"
"..."
"..."
Shunkong and Mo Dao pondered for a moment.
"yes!"
"yes!"
Immediately afterwards, the two of them agreed in unison: "This seems to be the truth of the matter."
Li Guanqi listened to the discussion of the three artifacts in his mind, looked at the space portal in front of him, and scratched his head in confusion.
So, should he interrupt these three artifacts and get the Ares armor first?
"But...if that's the case, why do you want to become the God of Death or the God of Ice?"
Suddenly, Shunkong smiled, "Hey, we all know that the real world and the weird world are two parallel time and spaces, and the master's future body has a high probability... In fact, it is basically certain that he is the killer of our weird world. God's Hades.
Pluto is a terrifying existence that can be called the supreme and invincible by fighting against all the gods on his own.
What are the laws of Hades?
Devour!
He has entered the Devouring Palace!
That is to say, in a certain sense, the master also has the ability to open the Devouring Palace and enter the Devouring Palace to become a god, right?
Really speaking, wouldn’t joining the Devouring Shrine have a better future than the Killing Shrine and the Ice Shrine?”
As soon as he said this, Li Guanqi's eyes became interested. He stood next to the portal and listened carefully to the discussion of the artifacts in his mind.
"But Shunkong, have you ever thought about the consequences?"
After the Demon Sword was silent for a while, he said in a deep voice: "After the master gets Ares, he will immediately leave for the Tulip Empire to pick up the Big Dipper Sequence Group, but the side effect of Greedy Wolf Star is exactly to amplify desire.
Which desire is amplified?
that power?
sex?
No, I think that given this kid's situation, there is a high probability that his desire for power will be magnified. After all, he has always wanted to become stronger.
We don't discuss the purpose. No matter what the ultimate reason is that he wants to become stronger, the result is that he really wants to become stronger.
This is very likely to be taken advantage of by the side effects of Greedy Wolf Star, amplifying the desire for power.
Once his desire in this area becomes extremely strong, after he enters the Devouring Palace and has the same ability as Pluto to devour 100% the power of the laws of the gods, will he follow the same old path as Pluto?
Even if there is no god in this era, it is possible for him to devour all the Nine Palaces, right?
You also know the character of this brat, wouldn’t that make him the most annoying person?
Since you have to consider your future path of cultivation, you must consider everything.
From the Yuan level to the Liuhe level, it is insignificant to the development of gods.
But when you reach seven stars, you have to start thinking ahead. The master has no experience in this area, but the three of us are artifacts. We must consider all aspects. This is the embodiment of "artifact-based" instead of thinking about helping him.
Simply become stronger without considering other aspects."
"..."
As soon as these words came out, the sky became silent for a moment.
Xiaoxue didn't know what to say. She felt that what the two brothers said seemed reasonable.
"Thanks, everyone."
Li Guanqi couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart when he heard their thoughts about his future. He chuckled and said: "I know you are doing it for my own good, but since I can't figure out the reason for this kind of thing for a while, we might as well leave it for now.
Put it aside, first..."
As he said that, he pointed to the portal next to him, "See Ares first? Or listen to his opinions and brainstorm, maybe we can come up with a better plan?"
"That makes sense."
Shunkong was the first to speak, "Go in, Ares is still here, and I don't know what the situation is. This is a very strange situation. Why is he staying at the location of his artifact altar?"
There was no reason why Pluto's men couldn't find the address of his altar.
If he was found, there would be no reason to keep him here.
I can't figure it out, and I don't know to what extent his memory has been unlocked. Master, go in and talk to him first."
"Um."
Li Guanqi smiled, then looked at the golden light portal, stepped into it.
…
…
at the same time.
Deep in Li Guanqi's soul, another consciousness, the consciousness of Pluto, looked at the dark world around him with complicated eyes, then lowered his head and sighed softly.
"Li Guanqi, Li Guanqi."
"The blood that leads to the underworld, the ability to plunder, the delusion-breaking eyes that I have...etc., etc., your life trajectory is different from mine, but you are gradually getting what I have, even if you get it in different ways, you can
You finally got it."
"What about what I lost?"
"Different trajectories, same ending..."
"It won't change."
"From the day your magic organ was integrated into your body, allowing you to fully awaken the 'plunder' magic, you have already embarked on the road to becoming a god."
"A path to becoming a god that is exactly the same as mine."
"Or, it's not just the path to becoming a god, but... the entire path of life."
