The Era of Gods-Chapter 390 - : The Crisis Brought by Brother Chao’s Messenger
Chapter 390: Chapter 390: The Crisis Brought by Brother Chao’s Messenger
He detailed his current situation to his homeroom teacher, Jin Sisi. At first, her face was normal, but when she heard that he felt the plane’s will was about to awaken and the Element Tides were starting to surge, her expression changed. She did not interrupt him, though, and only after he had finished speaking did she say,
“Tell me what you need.”
But as soon as she finished speaking, she shook her head and said,
“It won’t work, even with my support, you might not succeed. Contact Colonel Xie Yufei, cooperate with the military, to be precise, with Yan Huang’s Fifth War Zone.”
“Yan Huang’s Fifth War Zone? Not the Furious Flame Battalion?”
She looked at him with a peculiar gaze and said,
“How much strength could the Furious Flame Battalion have? Do you realize what your discovery means? Currently, humans are tackling the totem civilization while simultaneously contending with the Nightmare World and the Spirit Realm. Up to now, none of the three Divine Realm civilizations have established any invasion nodes; none have even made it through the door. This discovery of yours is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity. If we can succeed, we’ll have an absolute head start. This isn’t about how many rewards you get, it’s a massive step for human civilization.”
She took a deep breath, her golden pupils locked onto Lin Xiao, and said gravely,
“If we can successfully establish a Gaia Node, our civilization will have an overwhelming advantage in the competition with the other two Divine Realm civilizations. If we can successfully invade and fully conquer this Crystal Wall Universe, and if the Gaia Will can successfully devour the Plane Will here, you will be credited with the primary merit.”
Whether it was an illusion or not, he thought he saw a look of envy in her eyes:
“Do you know what this primary merit means? It’s an opportunity even Powerful Divine Powers are envious of, eagerly anticipate, and tirelessly pursue.”
Lin Xiao instantly understood the opportunity she referred to could only be one thing, the chance for Powerful Divine Powers to ascend to Great Divine Power – the most coveted pursuit for them.
To put it simply, if Gaia Will could successfully devour this totem civilization, the entire Human Main World would significantly strengthen, and new great Divinities might be born. As the one credited with the primary merit, he might receive a Divinity.
Of course, it was only a possibility, not a certainty.
The actual opportunity would depend on the benefits Gaia Will acquired from devouring the totem civilization. If it resulted in multiple Divinities, as the pioneer with primary merit, he would likely receive one. However, if there were only a few new Divinities, perhaps only one or two, that wouldn’t be enough for him to earn a Divinity.
But one thing was certain, regardless of how many Divinities were born, even if there could only be one new Divinity, his primary merit would grant him unimaginable grand rewards.
“Contact Xie Yufei. Her father is the commander of the Yan Huang Number Five Super War Fortress, a Powerful Divine Power of God Level 19. He is precisely the kind of existence most in need of this opportunity. Pass this message up, and even though they won’t get the primary merit, with the comprehensive strength of China’s Fifth War Zone, they are qualified to lead the battlefield and provide you with support.”
She paused before continuing,
“If this news gets out, countless influential figures would go insane for it. As the first to discover and disseminate this information, you hold absolute initiative.”
“This totem civilization has got Gaia, the Nightmare World, and the Spirit Realm all vying for it; its resources are surely vast. If completely conquered, the potential Divinities added to the Human Main World could be as many as two or three, or even more. The interests involved are beyond your imagination, and you need to look for more allies to support you.”
Lin Xiao fell silent. Upon hearing Jin Sisi speak in this way, he understood that confiding in his homeroom teacher about this matter had been the right, wise thing to do.
By himself, he definitely couldn’t handle this lucrative opportunity; he needed to unite with more powerful forces for a collaborative effort.
After all, the primary merit was his to claim, and whatever remained could be shared with other powerful entities, thus distributing the pressure and also currying favor.
This was no ordinary favor – it was one that could likely lead these Powerful Divine Powers to ascend to Great Divine Power, an unprecedented opportunity throughout the civilization’s history, rarely encountered even once.
One favor could be allocated to the commander of Yan Huang’s Fifth War Zone, also known as Xie Yufei’s father…
Honestly, it was quite unexpected to him that her father was such a notable figure. There are only a dozen or so Super War Fortresses combined among all four major forces of human civilization, each representing a colossal conglomeration of power, undoubtedly eligible to vie for a share of this bounty.
As for another favor, it would naturally go to Radiance. As one of humanity’s top super forces, Radiance’s strength isn’t limited to the possession of a Great Divine Power. Beyond the old principal, Radiance itself is extremely powerful, with countless Powerful Divine Powers, all eager for this opportunity.
As a member of Radiance, it’s only right that the benefits stay within their own group.
However, he still wasn’t qualified to directly communicate with the high-ranking officials of Radiance; at best, he could directly interface with high-level officials like the principal of the Shining High School Department but couldn’t engage the upper echelons of Radiance directly. That could only be conveyed through his homeroom teacher, Jin Sisi.
Unfortunately, she is merely a Weak Divine Power of God Level 7, far from being a Powerful Divine Power. This opportunity was, undoubtedly, unrelated to her.
The same held true for Lin Xiao’s family; whether it was his parents or his clan, they were too weak to digest such tremendous benefits and could only nibble at the scraps.
After reaching out to Xie Yufei through the military communication channel, Xie Yufei, clad in a form-fitting military uniform that accentuated her shapely figure, projected her image in front of him. Her eyes swept across Lin Xiao and Jin Sisi and she inquired curiously,
“Lieutenant Lin Xiao, what can I do for you?”
Lin Xiao nodded solemnly, and said seriously,
“I possess a Different Treasure that allows me to communicate with my Incarnation in real time. My Incarnation has now discovered something… My current Strength is inadequate, and it would be such a pity to waste such an important opportunity, while I…”
As he narrated, Xie Yufei’s luscious lips parted slightly in surprise; her expression grew increasingly serious. Suddenly, her figure flickered, and she reached out, saying,
“Stop there, let me come over.”
Seconds later, a golden mist appeared out of nowhere in the room, quickly expanding into a curvaceous humanoid outline that soon solidified, revealing the valiant and beautiful visage of Xie Yufei before him.
At this moment, her expression was very serious. She reached behind and retrieved an exquisite Golden Disc, flinging it above her head where it cascaded a layer of golden light, enveloping the entire room.
“You may speak now.”
Lin Xiao vaguely noticed that her tone was somewhat urgent and excited.
“I can’t monopolize this opportunity. Once the news gets out, it will surely attract countless powerful forces vying for it, leading to unpredictable variables. So, after much consideration, I’ve decided to actively involve several powerful forces in this matter.”
He looked at Xie Yufei and said earnestly,
“I’m always grateful for your care, sister. I heard from the class head teacher that your father is a person of no ordinary status. That’s why, after thinking it through, I contacted you first.”
At this point, Xie Yufei’s eyes sparkled with radiant surprise as she gazed at Lin Xiao; her look became tenderer, and suddenly she stretched out her hand to caress his cheek, saying,
“You do have a conscience, not letting your sister’s care be in vain. I really like this gesture of appreciation, and so will my father.”
After looking at him earnestly for a while, she suddenly leaned in to lightly kiss his cheek, a pleasant fragrance assailed his nose, and she locked eyes with him, her liveliness containing a meaning that made his heart race. She whispered,
“Don’t spread this news. Let me know if you need anything. I need to go prepare now.”
After speaking, she leaned in, kissed him again, and her Incarnation turned into light and vanished.
It was only after her figure completely disappeared that he came back to his senses, somewhat dazed, to find Jin Sisi standing to the side, arms crossed and looking somewhat displeased.
Now that he had regained his composure, she said directly,
“I will seek an audience with a member of the Supreme God Council of Radiance. Wait for news; if you have a channel, you can also contact your girlfriend.”
After speaking, she disappeared in a flash, leaving Lin Xiao feeling somewhat embarrassed, as she seemed a little angry.
However, he quickly refocused his scattered thoughts, pondering a term she had just mentioned—the Supreme God Council.
This was the highest governing body of the superpower known as Radiance. It was well-known that the Leader of Radiance was the first human to wield great divine power. Yet such an august being was unlikely to manage Radiance in person all the time, hence the existence of the Supreme God Council, the highest decision-making body within Radiance, any True God within with Powerful Divine Power could automatically enter the Supreme God Council.
To have the full backing of Radiance in undertaking any matter required the support of the Supreme God Council.
Of course, an opportunity like this would definitely gain the Supreme God Council’s backing, the potential Divinity was certainly enough to ensure the Supreme God Council’s full support, but the proper protocols must still be followed.
Half an hour later, while Lin Xiao was in his room pondering how to prepare for his Incarnation, he suddenly felt a powerful and suffocating terrifying will descend. The terrifying pressure was gone in a flash, and specks of starlight converged to form a pupil staring at Lin Xiao. After a moment, Xie Yufei’s Incarnation appeared as well; without asking, it was surely her father, the Commander of the Fifth War Zone of Yan Huang.
His legs snapped together as he gave a military salute,
“Greetings, Commander. I’m Lieutenant Lin Xiao from the Third Division of the First Expeditionary Army of the Furious Flame Battalion, Yan Huang War Zone Number Five!”
The starlight pupil observed him quietly, then twisted into the image of a square-jawed, middle-aged man with a commanding presence. He raised his hand to return the salute and said in a deep voice,
“Lieutenant Lin Xiao, I am Xie Tianyan. Your intelligence is extremely crucial, and you will be duly rewarded after verification. In the meantime, the War Zone will assist you, so speak directly about what you need.”
Xie Yufei’s father, Xie Tianyan, like all military men, didn’t like to beat about the bush and got straight to the point.
Lin Xiao appreciated this style and without any reserve said directly,
“The Plane Will of that realm is now awakening, and the Element Tides have just begun to rise. That realm already has a ruling Church. Once the Plane Will awakens sufficiently and lifts restrictions, a Concept God will inevitably be born. Right now, the forces I have in that realm are not strong enough. I need sufficient military power and trump cards to contend…”
