Chapter 99 I know you better than you imagine

Gu Yun was stunned when he heard the Lord of War asking him if he was willing to form the Eighth Legion.

His ability is indeed very strong, but there is still a big gap compared with the seven legion commanders.

During his more than 20 years on the front line, he witnessed the chaos of demons on the offshore battlefield.

The original gods in the sea war can be said to be the Eight Immortals crossing the sea to show their magical powers. Basically, they can be called plug-in-like abilities. The difference lies in the strength of the plug-in.

And this is even more true for the seven legion commanders.

His growth needs to be obtained through killing. Although his growth rate is fast, it is still far behind the legion leader who has millions of believers to gain strength for him.

Every time he meets the Lord of War, he will find that the Lord of War's vitality has increased significantly.

No matter in terms of strength, qualifications, or even growth potential, Gu Yun didn't think he had the qualifications to become the commander of the Eighth Army.

In his eyes, the upper limit of growth is "The God of War".

At the same time, the Lord of War also said that the scale of the seven legions in recent years has been unable to meet the pace of expansion of the human race. The human race needs to open up resource plundering wars in more alien sea areas at the same time. During this period, the high priest has always been imagining the construction of new legions. He has With his divine attributes, he perfectly meets the basic requirements for serving as a legion commander.

But just as he was about to throw it, he saw clearly the figure wrapped in red energy.

"Where did your confidence go?" An An's projection did not answer the question directly, but asked jokingly.

Just like the Lord of War can gain power through war, the Lord of Divine Punishment can gain power through criminal law, and the Lord of Death can gain power through death... these abilities are all characteristics of the godhead.

……

Gu Yun made a choice. In fact, he had already made his decision on the day the Lord of War left.

Although he can go back through the cloud fighter, with his current strength, he can physically cross the sea, and the speed will only be faster than the cloud fighter.

This behavior is not only effective if you perform it yourself, it can also be obtained through believer warriors.

As he raised his hand, a spear formed by thunder and lightning gathered in his hand.

"This...this is not what you are encouraging and asking for."

Now that you have the divine attributes to become a legion leader, try to find a broader path for the future.

However, the Lord of War did not give him a clear reply. He only said that he would come back in a month and hoped that he could give a clear answer by then.

Although he had never had any contact with him, he knew the identity of the other party. He was Gu Yun, who was said to be the most promising person to become the next war god.

When the Lord of War arrived, Gu Yun knelt down on one knee and swore to give up his belief in war.

Based on the ability to kill and grow, he possesses the strongest war power bestowed by the Lord of War.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yun nodded solemnly, and after leaving the command room, he turned into a stream of light and flew into the sky.

"My lord, why?"

The characteristic of his godhood is to obtain divine power through killing.

The time comes one month later.

During the middle period, Gu Yun also asked his own questions.

"Boy, you are the first guy to give up his belief in war and retreat. You have set a record that has never been achieved by our war legion."

A red stream of light pulled out an arc of energy over Area A of Emperor Xiu City, and finally fell in the direction of Emperor Xiu Temple.

At this time, he heard that the high priest wanted to give him the honor of being the commander of the Eighth Legion, which made him very confused.

Three days later, at midnight.

"Because you also have the ability to absorb power through believers, but you have never discovered this ability. You feel weak now because you have not yet opened a fast-growing path to faith growth."

What followed was a strong feeling of weakness.

……

Compared with individual efforts, group efforts are obviously more efficient.

"Confidence does not mean arrogance. My ability and strength are not worthy of the position of legion commander. I want to know what does the high priest value in me?"

Gu Yun:? ? ?
In subsequent exchanges, Gu Yun gradually understood the reason.

He was very confused as to why he had the characteristics of a god and why his abilities were known to the Lord of War.

Before Gu Yun could continue to ask questions, An An continued:
"Don't doubt it, you also have a godhead and can gain power through the activities of believers just like the original god."

The top of the surveillance tower of the Emperor Xiu Temple towers into the sky.

Regarding his decision, the Lord of War raised the corners of his mouth:

According to the Lord of War's explanation, what he thought was a cheat was actually a hidden divine attribute.

The power of war was extracted, and his strength declined significantly.

"Go to the Imperial City to find the high priest. He will tell you how to build your own legion of faith. In the future, the faith between us has been severed. From now on, we will be... brothers!"

After the words fell, the Lord of War waved to him, and a crimson power suddenly emerged from his body.

"Go back and find the high priest. He will help you complete the formation of the Eighth Legion."

The chosen warrior of God's Punishment also opened his eyes at this time. With arcs of electricity in his eyes, he raised his head, looked at the falling red energy track, and slowly stood up.

The Thunder Punishment Spear in his hand dispersed, and he turned into a flash of lightning several times faster than Gu Yun and stopped Gu Yun who was about to land:

"Flying is not allowed here, land!"

Facing the request, Gu Yun cooperated very well, and his body followed the blue arc and landed on the steps in front of the temple.

"The high priest is looking for me."

"Go in." The God's Chosen Warrior turned sideways to make way without asking the reason.

Looking at the handsome man in silver-white clothes, Gu Yun also recognized the other person's identity.

"Lu Tian" is the first divinely chosen warrior of the Divine Punishment Legion.

When he was still studying at Guangfeng Academy, Lu Tian was the chosen warrior of the Lord of Divine Punishment.

When he learned about the relevant information of the Seven Legions, he had seen the other party's relevant introduction in the information introduction. His rise can definitely be described as "legendary", and he was also called the three strongest gods among the Seven Legions by netizens. Choose one.

During the long years of human race's war on the outer seas, many traitors appeared.

One of the most famous traitors is named "Xie Zhisi". He is the seventh legion, the divinely chosen warrior of the Legion of Destruction.

In a battle on the sea, Xie Zhisi was captured by the alien evil god Gu. After a long period of mental torture and transformation, he completely abandoned the imperial cultivator's faith and betrayed the Lord of Destruction.

Lu Tian once went to hunt him down in the name of the Divine Punishment Legion.

After spending several years, Lu Tian successfully killed the human traitor Xie Zhisi, and also killed the alien evil god who was mentally controlling Xie Zhisi.

Every time he made a move in the future, Lu Tian could efficiently complete the mission of the Lord of Divine Punishment, and was therefore called one of the strongest divine choices by netizens.

Now Lu Tian has apparently been transferred from his original position of "Divine Chosen Pursuit" and has been transferred to the Imperial Temple as a guardian. Gu Yun had a respectful attitude towards this legendary old-timer.

Walking up the white jade stairs, the temple in front of you stands tall, like a giant pillar reaching into the sky, reaching into the sky.

The moonlight shines on the temple walls, reflecting a hazy halo, sacred and solemn.

Along both sides of the road, there are two rows of majestic statues more than ten meters high, wearing heavy armor, depicting Kong Wu's strength.

These statues are not simply decorative.

The statues that can stand here were all the divinely chosen warriors of the seven legions. After they died in battle, the bodies or clothes that were sent back would be sealed in special containers and then made into statues and stood here.

The soul returns to the imperial cultivator, and the flesh subdues the temple.

This is the final destination of every divinely chosen warrior.

He glanced over and saw that the figures standing here had all been seen in textbooks. Each one of them was a god of war that could only be found in millions.

At this moment, walking on the white jade steps, Gu Yun felt awe in his heart.

When you reach the end of the stairs, you will see the majestic gate of the Temple of Imperial Cultivator. The two golden doors are engraved with the descriptions of children representing the Imperial Cultivator. On top of the head of the Imperial Cultivator God is a water-blue sphere carved on it. See ocean and land.

Seeing the carving of this blue water ball, the memories buried in Gu Yun's heart welled up.

This water polo... looks exactly like my home planet.

When I came to stand in front of the gate, I saw the golden gate of the Emperor Xiu Temple slowly opening.

Entering the temple hall, you will see a towering statue of the Emperor Xiu God. Against the wall of the hall, there are statues of seven legion commanders, guarding the Emperor Xiu God in the posture of stars over the moon.

There are two deep passages at the end of the hall.

Just when he was about to take the path to see the high priest, a figure emerged from the darkness of one of the passages.

The arriving figure has silver hair hanging down his shoulders, and his face has ravines formed by years of wind and frost, as if the marks of time cannot be erased, but his eyes are deep and bright, and there is an unquestionable majesty on his body, which makes people Don't dare to look directly.

This is none other than the high priest in charge of Emperor Xiu Kingdom: Zuo Yi.

But Gu Yun felt something was wrong, because he didn't find any life fluctuations in Zuo Yi's body, and it felt like... a dead corpse to him.

Facing the high priest, he did not dare to rashly use his power to perceive in subtle ways. He immediately lowered his head and said respectfully:

"High Priest."

"Gu Yun, are you wondering now why there are no life fluctuations in my body?"

Looking up, he found that the high priest was looking at him with a half-smile, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate his soul and see what he was thinking.

Just when he didn't know how to answer, the high priest slowly raised his right arm.

As the steam spurted out, the nano-coating on the arm dissipated, revealing a silver-white metal arm.

"I am different from you godhead holders. I can grow infinitely by acquiring power and have an infinite lifespan. It's just that I, as a mortal, choose to achieve immortality through another method."

Looking at the silver-white mechanical arm, Gu Yun understood what the high priest wanted to express.

His consciousness has been freed from the mortal body, and he has completed the reshaping of his life with a mechanical body, and will continue to exist as a mechanical body.

He had heard about this technology when he was young. The death rate during the soul transfer process was extremely high. He never expected that the high priest would use this technology to extend his life.

"Come with me, I will answer all the questions you want to know."

Following the high priest through the passage at the end, they finally stood in front of a bloody ancient tree.

"Do you know what this is?" Zuo Yi pointed at the bloody ancient tree with lush branches and leaves that blocked the moonlight.

"I have seen it in history books. It is called the Ancient Tree of Fear. It can assist in the absorption of the power of fear. It serves as an energy transfer station to provide power for the Imperial Cultivators guarding the high wall. Therefore, the textbook also lists the survival of human race members in this world. Every breath is regarded as a gift from the Emperor Xiu God.”

The high priest heard this and nodded with a smile:

"I believe An An has told you that there are many challenges facing our human race, one of which is how to speed up the acquisition of resources... Today's four major civilization technologies are being developed simultaneously, and the investment in each technology is There is no bottomless pit, and the existing resource output is simply not enough for us to let go of research and development. We can only solve this problem by expanding the scale of the war. "

"The disadvantage of the legion model is that all warriors must rely on the legion commander to fight. Except for the divinely chosen warriors who are endowed with divine force, other warriors cannot act too far away from the legion commander, which will lead to belief in The power given is missing, resulting in a significant decline in strength.”

"This is also the reason why I chose you to form the Eighth Legion. With your godhood, you can open up a new resource plundering front for the human empire... Now that you have come to the temple, you must have made a decision."

Facing the inquiry, Gu Yun did not hesitate, nodded and said:
"High Priest, I have given up my belief in war under the witness of the Lord of War. I am willing to form an eighth legion for the human race... but I have several doubts in my heart. I hope you can answer them for me."

"Ask." Zuo Yi smiled and nodded.

"Why do you know that I have the ability to kill and grow, and why do you and the Lord of War definitely believe that the ability I possess is the divine power endowed by the godhead."

Facing the inquiry, Zuo Yi thought for a moment and asked:

"Have you ever thought about the problem that other people's extraordinary abilities have promotion paths, but your ability can only be triggered through characteristics, but there is no clear path for growth and promotion?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yun fell into deep thought.

In fact, he did think about this issue.

When he first came to this world, the first thing he thought about was what the benefits would be for time travellers.

But as he grew older, the welfare of the time traveler never appeared, so he began to fantasize about his extraordinary path.

It wasn't until he activated the killing growth ability that he realized that this didn't seem to be a transcendent path, because it was completely different from the transcendent path described on the Internet.

"Is it a characteristic of divine power that there is no path to advancement?"

"Yes, all members of the race have a path to extraordinary promotion. Even if some people's extraordinary path has not been activated, this ability has been engraved in the genes. Only the power of the godhead has no promotion path, and power can be obtained through specific behaviors. "

After hearing these words, Gu Yun became even more confused:

"High Priest, I concealed my ability. What I reported was the path to increase my physical fitness. Why can you see the flaw? It stands to reason that you have never been on the battlefield and have never been in contact with me. Before this, my Even the Lord of War has not seen through the disguise."

Zuo Yi smiled and shook his head after hearing these words:

"Although I have never been in contact with you, I have started to pay attention to you when you were young. I know you much better than you think."

Hearing these words, Gu Yun couldn't hide the surprise on his face and immediately asked:

"High Priest, why do you pay attention to me when I was young?"

"What if I say...I know you are a time traveler?"

"what?!"

At this moment, he suddenly thought of the aqua blue planet carved on the temple gate. At that time, he felt that this water ball was very similar to his hometown. Now it seems that the Imperial Church may have some potential connection with his hometown.

Just when Gu Yun felt unbelievable and was about to continue asking, the next words of the high priest made him widen his eyes.

"Not only do I know that you are a time traveler, I also know that before you time traveled, you had three buildings in your home for rent."

"what?!"
