Lord God: Times have changed

Chapter 690 Side Missions
The cliff is as straight as a sword.

Zhou Ming stood on the top of the cliff, looking up at the sky.

A spectacular scene then appeared in front of his eyes.

I saw the stars shining in the sky, and the huge palace was smashed into ruins and displayed in a corner of the sky.

The moon is no longer round like those previous worlds, but pitted with many gaps.

It looks like a moon cake that has been bitten by a dog.

Looking down, on the surface of the earth, there are scars criss-crossing, and there are cracks under attack everywhere.

In the distance, a huge tree that supports the sky is extremely vast and huge, but it exudes a strong dead air.

On the other side, a mountain range tops the sky, and on the top of the mountain stands a shrine that shines like gold.

But if you look closely, this shrine is also full of incompletes, as if it has just experienced a war.

"It's really a... strange world..."

This kind of image, which is completely different from the previous world, is not common.

It can be seen at a glance that this is a terrifying world with super combat power and extraordinary existence.

And these terrifying extraordinary beings are still fighting each other.

That's why the present vast and terrifying world where everything is shattering has been created.

With Zhou Ming's current ability, even with ordinary vision, he can see an incomparably vast land without using any skills.

But on these lands, Zhou Ming could only see endless desolation, pain and mourning, and remaining scars, but he couldn't see a single bit of life!

The current land seems to have been away from the war for a while, but there is still not a single plant growing.

There is no life here!
No, it should be said that this incident has lost its vitality.

"Very uncomfortable feeling..."

Zhou Ming could feel that the ground beneath his feet was weeping in pain, and the stars in the sky were also trembling and howling.

In a word - this world is dying!

"Sometimes, it's not a good thing to have too much sensory ability?"

Zhou Ming rubbed his eyebrows.

In the extraordinary world, the stars in the sky and the earth under their feet seem to have their own will and spirituality. At this moment, their sobs and wailings are all sent into Zhou Ming's mind because of Zhou Ming's too powerful perception ability.

It made him a little annoyed.

【Ding! 】

[You trigger side missions]

Zhou Ming was taken aback.

Side quests?

I haven't even read the main mission yet?

The screen in front of him unfolded, and a message appeared in front of Zhou Ming.

[Submission: Save the World]

Explanation: The world is ruined by war, you feel the pain of the earth and the stars, please save this world
Reward: 15 attribute points, [-] skill points, [-] billion points
"save the world……"

Zhou Ming smiled: "Before I was wondering if I was the savior of the real world, but I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, I would be the savior of this world first."

Side quests are very rare. Among the tens of thousands of reincarnations, there may not be even one person who is lucky enough to trigger a side quest.

After the side tasks are completed, not only will there be additional rewards, but the final evaluation score will also be increased.

The last time Zhou Ming triggered a side mission seemed to be when he entered the Titan Quest world for the first time.

And it's also because Titan Quest is a game in the first place, and because of the nature of this world, it's easier to trigger side missions.

Otherwise, Zhou Ming might not even trigger the only side mission.

However, although side missions are good, there is no penalty for not doing them or failing.

But sometimes, there will be conflicts between the branch line and the main line.

"Then let's look at the main mission first."

Zhou Ming flipped the panel to check the main mission.

[Gods rule the world, and their powerful power allows them to decide everything]

【Although human beings are small, but tenacity and wisdom will allow them to overcome everything】

[Please choose, rule the world as a powerful god, or defeat the gods as a holy heroic spirit]

Gods Camp Quest: Get the approval of the God King, allowing you to join the Gods Camp, and you can start the Gods Camp Quest.

Human Camp Quest: Get the approval of the human leader and protect humans to start the human camp mission.

"Okay, let's do the faction mission first, choose a faction."

Zhou Ming scratched his head, which made him hesitate.

If you can't see the main mission, it will be troublesome if you find that the main mission of the camp conflicts with the side mission after choosing the camp.

Thinking about it, Zhou Ming took over the side mission.

Anyway, there is no penalty for failure of side missions. If they conflict with each other at that time, Zhou Ming will definitely choose the main mission and give up the side missions.

After all, how could the reward for such a side mission be compared with the main mission.

At the current level of [-], side quests reward a little more exercise than main quests at most. It is estimated that they can’t even match the advanced main quests, let alone challenge quests.

Moreover, there are additional rewards after the final evaluation is settled.

Adding it all up, I don't know how much more than the rewards of a mere side mission.

What's more, Zhou Ming also has the authority to jump floors. On this basis, all rewards can be multiplied by five times.

The side missions are not one of the basis for this doubling, they are rewards calculated separately.

No matter how you think about it, it is impossible for Zhou Ming to give up the main mission for the side mission.

According to past experience, if such a faction selection task has not been taken, it will be automatically assigned to a faction in the end.

But Zhou Ming is not going to take this laziness.

For one thing, if there are really not many things, there are also situations where if you don't do the faction mission, you will directly regard it as a failure and send it out.

In addition, if one really accepts a random fate, the result is likely to be that, as in the Egyptian mythology before, one has to assist an annoying guy who wants to beat him up on the spot.

However, he was limited by the task and had to endure it.

Although in terms of Zhou Ming's willpower, this kind of thing is just a side dish.

But if it can be avoided, who would want to assist such garbage?

"As for the background of the world... Although there are relatively few materials in the world of the [-]th floor, there are still people who have encountered and recorded such a strange scene in this world."

Zhou Ming looked at the stars and the earth and said heartily.

The faction quest didn't give any information, at most it showed that this world was in the midst of a war between humans and gods.

There are simply too many such backgrounds, and they are almost completely featureless.

But a world broken into this rubbish like the current world is really extremely rare.

Almost instantly, Zhou Ming found the corresponding world in his memory.

"Myth Buster Biography"

This is a world associated with mythology, and there are many gods that can be found in mythology all over the world.

And the forces formed by these gods rule the entire world.

Not to mention those small powers, but the most powerful god powers have as many as these four.

Heaven based on oriental mythology.

Atlantis based on the ocean.

A world tree based on Norse mythology.

Olympus based on Greek mythology.

These four powerful forces all have countless powerful gods, each ruling one side.

The other forces are all trembling under these four forces.

As for human beings or other creatures, in such an era, they can only survive by attaching to and serving the gods.

In the endless years in the past, the four great gods seemed to be living in peace, but in fact they were all fighting secretly.

Every force wants to dominate the entire world, but they have to worry that they cannot destroy the other force, or they are afraid of other forces, and they are worried that they will be profited by fisherman, so there has never been a formal confrontation.

But under the undercurrent, many small forces were annexed one by one, and gradually disappeared into the dust of history.

With the passage of time, Heavenly Court has become the most powerful god force in an era.

After some preparations, Heaven suddenly launched a war against Atlantis.

In that battle, Atlantis was shattered!
But before Heaven could annex the shattered Atlantis, Olympus and World Tree attacked Heaven almost at the same time.

With the joint efforts of the two sides, Heavenly Court, which was already in the battle with Atlantis and suffered losses, suddenly fell into a disadvantage.

This change is really jaw-dropping.

Because of the world situation at that time, it can basically be divided into east and west.

The east is the heaven, and the west is the world tree and Olympus.

The ocean naturally belongs to Atlantis.

Because they are under the same sky, World Tree and Olympus, the two gods, are in constant friction.

There was no confrontation on the surface, but they failed each other secretly, playing black hands, hatred and anger have been accumulating.

And the war between the four great gods was not started by the heavens first, but World Tree and Olympus fought against each other. Under the western sky, the war was in full swing.

Heavenly Court took advantage of this opportunity to attack Atlantis.

Originally, the strength of the two sides was very different, and Heavenly Court felt that as long as the battle was resolved quickly, there would be no problem.

The fact is indeed the case, Atlantis was quickly destroyed.

But who knew that at this time, Olympus and World Tree, who had accumulated endless hatred in the past countless years and were already at war, would suddenly unite and attack Heaven at the same time.

It can only be said that the situation in the world is changing too fast for people to imagine.

After a protracted war, Heaven was finally defeated.

Look at the sky, among the infinite stars howling in pain, that floating, broken palace is actually the former Heavenly Court.

After the defeat of Heavenly Court, Olympus and World Tree immediately turned against each other, and the war started on the spot without even having time to divide the spoils.

These two sides are really evenly matched, and they are fighting hard.

The whole world is now in such a dilapidated state, largely because of the war between these two parties.

In such a war, the most painful ones are naturally not the two sides, but those incapable creatures.

Whether it is human beings or others, in this protracted war, there are too many losses.

The good news is that the war between these two sides is not always going on.

In Greek mythology, there has always been a kind of fate.

The king who rules over the gods will be killed by his son and take everything that is his.

Olympus, based on Greek mythology, also inherited this fate.

The first generation of god-king Uranus ruled Olympus, and was overthrown by the second-generation god-king Cloros. At that time, the angry first-generation god-king cursed the second-generation god-king: You will also be overthrown by your own children in the future.

The second generation of god kings was restless because of this curse, and every time they gave birth to a child, they would swallow them directly to avoid the birth of this curse and fate.

But his wife couldn't bear it, so after giving birth to a son and daughter, she replaced it with a stone, so that one of her sons survived.

This son is Zeus, the third generation god king.

When the third generation of god kings defeated Kronos, the second generation of god kings was also in anger and left the same curse.

The traditional Greek mythology has no end here, and Zeus has always been the king of gods who rule the world.

But in this world, the curse is also in effect.

The three generations of god kings were eventually killed by his daughter, the fourth generation god king Athena.

However, this curse finally came out from the mouth of Zeus.

The five generations of god kings were able to take the position of god kings only after killing their mother Athena.

Olympus is in such a fate and curse that, every once in a while, there will be great civil strife.

This kind of civil strife is short for a hundred years, and it can last for hundreds or even thousands of years.

During this period of civil strife, although there were wars, the intensity was much lower than the war between the two great gods.

And the World Tree also bears a kind of destiny.

The World Tree is based on Nordic mythology, and the most famous fate in this mythology is naturally Ragnarok.

In this world, the various gods of the World Tree freely sway their divine power, but they will grow old and weak.

And so came Ragnarok.

In this catastrophe, the entire World Tree will decline, and countless gods will die.

But death is not their end, but the beginning of new life.

In the flames that burn everything in Ragnarok, all gods will be reborn, and then born on the branches of the world tree reborn from the ashes.

Thus re-creating the huge power of the gods of the world tree.

So for World Tree, Ragnarok is never the end, but the end of one reincarnation and the beginning of the next reincarnation.

Olympus' God-King Inheritance.

Ragnarok of the World Tree.

The two great powers of the gods have their own fates that must be borne. Coincidentally, the time when their fates are realized is very close.

Basically, every time serious civil strife began to appear in Mount Olympus, and when the inheritance of the god king appeared, the twilight of the gods basically began on the World Tree side.

Therefore, when these two fates appear, it is the time when the war between the two sides ceases and the whole world recuperates.

That was also the prosperous age of countless living beings.

But taking history as a mirror, whether it is the gods of Olympus or the gods of the World Tree, they will not always succumb to their own destiny.

They will try to avoid this fate, and their methods often pay off.

The final result is that the war lasts longer and longer, and the peace and prosperity are getting farther and farther away.
