Eternal Night

Chapter 453: Ascend to God, Not Kill God
At present, this world poses no threat to Wu Xianxiao. As his injuries and spirit recover, even if his title is weakened a lot, his physical martial arts alone are enough to defeat the so-called gods in this world.

So if it was just gods, he really wasn't worried at all, but he could also feel the danger of this world. These gods might just be the least dangerous surface of this world. The deeper things are still unknown, so he can't let his guard down.

As Wu Xianxiao arrived at the city wall, many people in the city noticed this, and soon all the soldiers on the city wall were ready. Some people even went to notify Prime Minister Samara, the high priest, the magician leader and others.

Soon, Samara came running from the city, shouting as he ran: "What's going on? Is there a wild god coming?"

Wu Xianxiao waited until Samara approached before he said, "I don't quite understand your definition of wild gods, but there are five teams coming from several directions, each with more than 500 people, and each team has a huge god, about the same size as the Mado Winged God, or slightly smaller."

Samara clapped his hands and said, "Yes, in the past two years, the Winged God of Maduo has cleared out all the wild gods in the surrounding area. It is basically unlikely that the wild gods will arrive quickly. Instead, the gods of the surrounding city-states reacted quickly. This must be them, but... five teams? Is there no Sheep-Headed God? Judging from the distance, there should be six teams arriving."

Wu Xianxiao thought for a moment and said, "Yes, why? I am also very curious."

In the past two days, Wu Xianxiao has already roughly understood the situation of this grassland. There are a total of seven city-states, including this city-state, which are relatively close to each other. It will take more than ten days to reach the farther city-states.

In fact, Maduo Winged God is a rising star. At the beginning, there were only six city-states in this area, and Maduo Winged God had only villages and gathering places under his command. It was only slightly stronger than the wild god, and much weaker than the other six city-state gods. It was not until Samara returned from his travels and took charge of everything here that he built this city two years ago and established the city-state, making Maduo Winged God comparable to the other six city-state gods.

Then he planned the strategy, cleared out the surrounding wild gods, settled the people, trained the army, etc. This led to the city-state war between the Winged God of Maduo and the Sheep-Headed God two years later.

Yesterday, Samara reminded Wu Xianxiao to be on the lookout for the attacking gods.

The rules of this world are very simple. Only gods have extraordinary powers. The strength of a god is determined by the number of believers and sacrifices. Gods with few believers are called spiritual beings, which are similar to Warcraft. These things are the source of the extraordinary powers of the extraordinary barbarians. Gods with a few believers are wild gods, such as the god of natural purity worshipped by the witch in the forest where Yaoyao lives. Then there are city-state gods, who are served and fed by intelligent creatures of a city-state. Above them are kingdom gods, and so on. The more believers and sacrifices there are, the stronger the power of the gods.

If there are intelligent creatures gathering in an area, then the spiritual creatures in the surrounding area will automatically go there, or the wild gods will go there. If neither of them goes there, or the intelligent creatures in the area do not recognize these spiritual creatures and wild gods, as long as the number is large enough, the surrounding gods will also go there to collect them and absorb these intelligent creatures as their believers.

That is why the five gods came with their army.

Samara explained, "Saint, be careful. After all, there are five gods. In order to gain the faith of this city-state, they are all attacking in their true form. Their strength can be fully exerted, but if they are injured or their true form dies, it will be extremely difficult to revive them. Hundreds of living sacrifices are required, so be careful."

Wu Xianxiao waved his hand in understanding and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Samara was still a little worried and warned: "This is related to ascending to the throne of God. If the saint wants to return to the real world quickly, this must be taken seriously."

Wu Xianxiao nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, this is related to ascending the throne of God, so I will pay attention to it!"

Samara finally felt satisfied and relieved, but at the same time she kept sighing.

The good thing about communicating with people is that there are hidden rules between each other. No matter whether you want money, power, beauty, land, or even his life, there is always a purpose. However, communicating with gods is very troublesome. Almost all of these gods are in ignorance and conform to some of their domains. They are cruel, bloody, bloodthirsty, and demanding. They are more terrible than the most brutal tyrant.

Now that she had an extraordinary human leader with whom she could communicate, Samara truly couldn't be more satisfied.

At this time, the five teams in the distance had gradually appeared in the field of vision. The watchtower on the city wall had sounded the alarm. The soldiers began to put on their equipment and collect weapons from the armory. Bows and crossbows, crossbows on the city walls, etc. were also being debugged. Everything was in order, which showed Samara's management and military talents.

Not to mention, the five armies marched for more than three hours from far to near. When they got close, they didn't even take a rest or set up camp. The five huge monsters walked directly to the front of the city wall. Their height was enough to look straight at the soldiers on the wall. Most of these soldiers had horrified expressions, but none of them retreated or fled.

Samara looked at Wu Xianxiao's puzzled look and explained, "The saint wondered why they didn't set up camp or rest, and why they pretended to attack the city even though they were tired. First, the power of the gods exceeded the limits of the mortals defending the city. Second, they came to gain the believers of this city-state. Once a god has gained it, this place will belong to its home ground, so they will naturally move forward immediately, whether by intimidation or anything else, in an attempt to take it before other gods."

So that's how it is. Wu Xianxiao nodded to indicate that he understood. It was nothing more than taking the initiative. As long as they gained the faith of this city-state, these gods would immediately become the great gods of the two city-states. The other gods would naturally have to retreat. But...how could he let go of such a good opportunity?
At that moment, Wu Xianxiao clenched his fist, picked up the half-broken Heroic Spirit Broken Knife in his hand, and was about to jump off the city wall.

Samara always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what it was, so he could only remind him again and again: "Saint, be careful in everything. This is related to ascending the throne of God, so don't take it lightly."

Wu Xianxiao nodded again and again and promised: "Don't worry, I know what to do..."

After saying that, he came to the city wall and jumped out, saying as he jumped: "These gods are as weak as dogs. Just watch me chop them into pieces!"

Samara nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, yes, that's the momentum we should use. We should... wait, wait a minute? Cut them into pieces!?"

At this time, Wu Xianxiao had already jumped up from the city wall. On the opposite side, a giant monster god in the shape of an orangutan was beating his chest and roaring at the city wall. Wu Xianxiao leaped up and just jumped in front of it. The orangutan god was still a little dazed, and Wu Xianxiao had already stepped on its head. The effects of the title of Kratos and the title of Louis XVI were immediately activated at the same time. He stepped down and annihilated the head and neck of the orangutan monster god. This was not over yet. The execution effect was activated. He kicked the orangutan monster from the neck down like a battle axe, splitting it in two with one kick.

This act was horribly brutal.

The four gods around were all stunned.

Before they could make the next reaction, Wu Xianxiao stomped hard on the remains of the giant ape monster. As blood and flesh splattered everywhere, he pounced on the second god, which was an equally huge monster that looked like a turtle but without a shell.

When it pounced forward this time, the shell-less turtle monster had already reacted. Holy light flashed on its body, and immediately a large amount of soil rose from the ground and wrapped its entire body. Once the soil wrapped around its body surface, it immediately turned into a rock protective layer with the texture of granite, and its body suddenly grew larger.

Faced with this defensive surface that even cannons could not blow down, Wu Xianxiao remained extremely calm. He raised his sword and rushed forward, slashing it with one blow. Then the turtle's head was quickly shattered and annihilated, leaving it confused in one move.

The remaining three gods were all horrified. After Wu Xianxiao dealt with the second god, the holy light on their bodies immediately rose up and turned into a divine domain that enveloped their bodies. The armies belonging to these three gods also roared and rushed towards Wu Xianxiao regardless of everything.

The whole process happened so quickly that Samara on the city wall couldn't react at all. When Wu Xianxiao rushed to the third god, a sloth-like god, but bigger than the Maduo Winged God, with claws and nails three meters long. When its arms were waving, there was not only a sharp sound of breaking wind, but also holy light attached. The holy light turned into ripples and slashed towards Wu Xianxiao.

But all this was still useless. Wu Xianxiao stood ten meters away from the giant sloth, letting the ripples of holy light crackle on its body surface. It only caused white marks on its body surface, which was painful but not harmful. Then, when the sloth waved its arms, he rushed forward, pulled the sloth's arm with one hand, and at the same time, he reached out and slashed with the Heroic Spirit-Breaking Knife in his other hand. The sloth's head and half of its body were chopped into pieces, and it died on the spot.

“No!” Samara screamed and threw herself on the edge of the city wall. She looked so anxious that she seemed like she was about to jump out.

But in a flash, Wu Xianxiao had already pulled his arm out from the fourth god's head and looked at the last god, a python with feather-like wings.

The python let out a sharp scream, turned around and flew backwards, but in a short distance, Wu Xianxiao's speed was much faster than his. With a leap, he stepped on the python's back. Then Wu Xianxiao reached out and pinched its back, and stepped hard with one foot. The flying snake was immediately stepped into the ground, leaving only its head wailing.

"What?"

Wu Xianxiao turned his head and looked at Samara who was shouting at him anxiously. He asked in confusion: "What's wrong? There was no accidental injury, and I was not injured either. Kill these gods as quickly as possible. As long as we keep killing them, the throne of God will be ours, right?"

Samara almost fainted. He yelled at the top of his voice: "Our goal is to become a god, to become a god, not to kill the gods. How can we become gods if there are no gods left..."

"Wait a minute, didn't I tell you? Ascension to the Godhead is a ritual, not a process of killing all the candidate gods... Put down the Quetzalcoatl in your hand!!!"

In response to Samara's calls, Quetzalcoatl howled and roared helplessly, and Wu Xianxiao was at a loss as he held onto its body by three inches.
