Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 337 The Seven Celestials
"Enter the pillar of light within thirty seconds. The transfer world has been locked. Teleportation to the A Chinese Ghost Story world has begun..."

After being half-asleep.

A young man dressed in a Taoist robe and carrying a long sword opened his eyes in the desolate wilderness.

He glanced at his six companions around him, then looked up at his watch:

"Let Xiaoqian break free from the tree demon's control... After entering the vicinity of Lanruo Temple, the East Sea Team will enter the world of A Chinese Ghost Story... Technological weapons are ineffective against characters in this world's storyline, only against reincarnators."

After quickly glancing at the few lines of small print on the main god's watch, the young man in the Taoist robe exclaimed in astonishment, "Damn it, it's one thing for a reincarnation team stronger than our Celestial Team to appear, but why is this team made up of those dwarfs?"

He knew that the members of the East China Sea team came from the Japanese region.

The young man in the Taoist robe hated the Japanese the most.

He didn't understand... how could those dwarfs grow to be stronger than the Celestials? It didn't make sense!
“The East Sea Team will only enter this world when we enter the vicinity of Lanruo Temple… In other words, the timing of the East Sea Team’s arrival is entirely under our control? If we don’t enter Lanruo Temple, can’t we stay in this world for decades or even centuries?!” A white man dressed in priest’s robes interrupted the young man in Taoist robes.

His expression was very serious.

This member of the Celestial Team noticed a hidden message in the Supreme God's arrangement:

"It seems that the East China Sea team is very strong, perhaps even far stronger than us! If that team has three strong players who are no less than Hector, then we're in trouble."

The condition for the Reincarnation Squad to start a team battle is that three members have unlocked their gene locks. The first three reincarnators to unlock their gene locks will have a huge first-mover advantage and can quickly raise their bloodline and skills to a higher level.

Those three are often the main force of the reincarnation team.

Even if geniuses who unlock their genetic potential emerge in the future, it will be difficult for them to steal too many reward points from well-developed veterans.

Even on the Celestials, starting advantage remains quite important.

The white priest mentioned Hector, who was the captain of the first reincarnation squad to enter the Celestial Team. Although the priest was not entirely convinced, he still believed that the first person to enter the Celestial Team was the strongest in the team, accounting for at least 40% of the team's combat power.

One captain as the core, two main players who were the first to unlock their gene locks, plus several support players... This is the configuration of a normal reincarnation team that the Celestial Team knows.

Once the core captain goes to the Celestial Team, the strength of the Samsara Squad will be greatly reduced.

In addition, there are some breeding teams in the God Space. In the minds of the God Team members, these teams are often rated lower and cannot enter the reincarnation world later than the God Team in team battles.

The East Sea team has a higher rating than the Heavenly God team. In the eyes of the white priest, the East Sea team's captain, core player, and two main players are probably quite strong.

"Elijas, you overestimate the East China Sea team. There aren't that many members in the God Space who have unlocked the third-tier gene lock yet."

A muscular man in a leather jacket sat on the ground and said, "There should be someone stronger than me in the East China Sea team, but the others are probably not as good as me."

This muscular man was extremely tall; even sitting on the ground, he was about the same height as a normal person.

If he stands up, he is at least 2.5 meters tall.

He had a short knife tattooed on each of his arms, the tattoos radiating a fiery aura that seemed to intensify the surrounding environment.

“Stronger than you… I really don’t know how high the captain of the East Sea team has raised his bloodline; unfortunately, there will inevitably be a lot of drags in an ordinary reincarnation team, and they can’t possibly defeat us in a team battle!” A magnetic female voice rang out beside the burly man.

This is a mixed-race woman with slightly dark skin. She has a curvaceous figure and is dressed provocatively, with only a few pieces of fabric the size of a palm covering her private parts.

The voluptuous woman swayed her ample figure and sat in the lap of the burly man Hector.

"What should we do next? The mission seems to only require dealing with the tree demon, which isn't too difficult. If all goes well, we can also get help from characters in the story. Yan Chixia is quite strong. In the movie, Yan Chixia fought the tree demon for a long time, but in the novel, that Taoist priest easily killed the tree demon." A young man dressed in ancient Chinese martial arts attire and carrying a long sword asked with his eyes lowered.

The young man looks very similar to a Chinese person, but has subtle exotic features, indicating that he is of mixed race.

“Of course, we should take advantage of their momentum first!” said Priest Elias.

"The East Sea team may be strong, but the time advantage that the main god has given us this time is too great! Before entering this reincarnation world, I carefully studied the background of this movie. There are many powerful demons and cultivators in it. We can trade with those people first, obtain the power of demons and cultivators, and then go to Lanruo Temple."

“That’s true. With the help of the characters in the story, it will be much easier to fight against the East Sea team or to complete the mission and return to the main god space.” The mixed-race man in the tight-fitting clothes nodded with a smile.

He then asked, "Leveraging power... The forces in this world can be roughly divided into demons, monsters, evil sects, and righteous sects such as monks, Taoists, and Confucian scholars. Which side's power should we leverage next?"

"Which side? We have plenty of time, why can't it be all of it?" a young man in a gray robe said. "Foolish people divide the Force into two attributes, light and darkness, but the Force is just the Force."

"The same applies to characters in the story."

Who says you can only borrow the power of one side?

“Eric, things aren’t as simple as you think,” the young man in the Taoist robe said, frowning. “The good and evil factions are extremely hostile to each other. It would be fine to just get those people together so they don’t undermine each other. How could we possibly use the power of all the characters in the story?”

The gray-robed youth, Eric, said with a smile, "Then let them not meet."

"At least keep them from meeting before the East China Sea team enters; after the East China Sea team enters, first arrange for some weak members of the righteous camp to die, making the East China Sea team the evil side, attracting the others of the righteous camp to besiege the East China Sea team; finally, lead the strong members of the evil camp to harvest the remnants of the East China Sea team."

"The plan may be complicated, but as I said before, the main god has given us very few restrictions and a lot of time this time... It is not impossible to complete this arrangement."

“In that case, we’ll have no choice but to split our forces,” said the burly Hector.

All the members of the Celestial Team are captains of the Reincarnation Squads, and all of them possess captain-level authority. Hector may seem like a reckless brute, but he is also very clear about the importance of the plot and is familiar with the storyline of this world.

"Since the main god arranged for the East Sea team to descend only after we entered the vicinity of Lanruo Temple, our current location should be some distance away from Lanruo Temple, and not in Guobei County where the plot takes place."

He explained, "Next, I will go with Mary Rose to scout the outskirts of the story's setting... outside of Guobei County, which shouldn't be considered the vicinity of Lanruo Temple."

The mixed-race woman smiled.

Most of the captains in the Reincarnation Squad are daring and aggressive melee fighters. Mental controllers are often the treasures of the team. The chance of being the first to unlock the gene lock and become the captain is very small. There are currently no mental controllers in the Celestial Team.

Fortunately, the Celestial Team consists entirely of powerful individuals, so they don't need to be overly afraid of the enemy's mental controller manipulating their weaker members to commit suicide. Their only weakness is reconnaissance ability. Currently, the Celestial Team's reconnaissance capabilities largely rely on her Eagle Eye technique.

Advanced Eagle Eye Technique can detect targets hundreds of kilometers away. Apart from being less efficient in detection, it is not much weaker than mental scanning in other aspects.

"Luo Yinglong, this should be considered your home turf. You should be most familiar with the locations where powerful figures from the righteous faction might exist in this land. Next, you and Song Tian will be in charge of winning over these powerful figures from the righteous faction."

The young man in the Taoist robe and the martial arts warrior in tight-fitting clothes nodded.

The two knew that the righteous forces would attack the East Sea team first, and that they might have to participate in the siege, but they were not afraid of that.

They felt that they might be able to learn a few Taoist techniques or martial arts skills from righteous and powerful figures.

Luo Yinglong, in particular, desperately wanted to become a cultivator.

Unfortunately, the cultivation techniques in the Main God Space are too expensive, so for now he can only make do with internal energy.

The Taoist priests and immortal cultivators in A Chinese Ghost Story are somewhat inferior, but the power of their Taoist magic is quite good. Among them is a technique called "astral projection," which is much stronger than mere internal energy cultivation.

"Elijas, Leara, you two go to the capital. There you will find the Centipede Monster, the future BOSS of this movie series. Try to win him over. If he is too strong and shows obvious hostility, notify me. Those who are unwilling to become our helpers will be converted into reward points."

Upon hearing this arrangement, the only Black man among the seven nodded first.

But the priest named Elias frowned imperceptibly.

He felt that Leah, this muscular black man, was likely to cause problems and affect his actions.

However, after hearing Hector's barely audible voice transmission, he smiled and nodded slightly.

With that idiot Liara as a teammate, there's a lot of trouble, but his dark appearance is also quite eye-catching. If there's any danger, this black man would be a good decoy.

"Eric, now that your Force has been enhanced to Double A level, you can switch between the Light Force and the Dark Force. Whether you disguise yourself as the good side or the evil side, it won't be a big problem. Now you can act freely and cooperate with the other two groups to create momentum for them to get closer to the characters in the story."

The gray-robed youth smiled and nodded.

Freedom of action... that is, freedom to hunt.

Whether you're on the side of good or evil, any powerful individual represents a side quest and reward points!

He was very satisfied with this arrangement.

soon.

The protective shield of the main god disappeared. After some investigation, the seven members of the Celestial Team determined that they were currently near the Taihang Mountains in the northwest of Jinhua Prefecture.

Mary Rose, the only woman among the seven, stood on the shoulder of Hector, whose size had increased several times over, and looked around. She found a pack of wolf demons in the nearby mountains.

From the wolf demon's own strength and what the wolf demon said, the seven people roughly understood the strength of the characters in this world's storyline.

The thousand-year-old tree demon is very strong, and even several members of the Celestial God Team are no match for it. However, in this world, it can only be considered a mid-to-upper-level expert... This can be seen from the fact that this thing only dares to occupy the desolate wilderness outside Guobei County.

The little wolf demon had never heard of the centipede demon who occupied the court and attempted to transform into a dragon, but it had heard of the Black Mountain Demon.

That old demon occupied a large area in the underworld. After Yama disappeared, he became as powerful as Yama himself, and countless demons in the world fawned over such a great demon.

Once the group confirmed that they could still roam freely in most parts of the world even though the God had disabled technological weapons, they immediately split up and each went in a different direction.

“Song Tian, ​​it’s one thing for Hector to assign us the hard and tiring work and target us, but the fact that he personally took Mary Rose to the outskirts of Guobei County clearly shows that he doesn’t trust the rest of our team and is trying to prevent anyone from entering the vicinity of Lanruo Temple so that the Dwarf Team can descend.”

"Once Mary Rose's shopping web is set up, it is generally impossible for an ordinary person to break through it."

The young man in the Taoist robe, Luo Yinglong, sneered: "Speaking of which, who is that guy guarding against?"

"It's probably just a matter of distrusting all of us," said Song Tian, ​​the young man in the tight-fitting clothes, shaking his head.

Currently, Hector, the strong white man, is the strongest and thus the unsung leader of the Celestials. However, since the others are also quite strong, this unsung leader cannot command everyone, and most matters within the team are still discussed and resolved.

The mixed-race beauty Mary Rose clung to him and became his woman.

Elias, the white man, and Eric, the Force warrior, used Hector to suppress the others.

Unfortunately, Song Tian, ​​Luo Yinglong, and the black man Li Ala were among those who were oppressed.

The difference is that Song Tian and Luo Yinglong sensed the rejection from those people and are now sticking together for warmth, trying to compete with Hector for the right to speak; while the black muscle man, Li Ala, is still foolishly sticking around Hector and his group, voluntarily acting as their lackey.

"If I'm not mistaken, once Hector finishes his preparations, he'll definitely be searching the world for monsters. That guy won't just take advantage of the situation honestly; in that muscle man's eyes, his own strength is the greatest advantage."

"Slaying monsters in the cycle of reincarnation, obtaining reward points and side quests to strengthen myself... that's what Hector wants to do most. Even team battles don't bother him at all."

"The main god has placed too few restrictions on us this time. That guy will definitely not let the East Sea team enter this world until he has killed enough monsters. I estimate that he will kill for a year or two and wipe out all the demons and monsters in this world."

"We can seize this opportunity."

Luo Yinglong said, "There are many opportunities in this world, and many side quests to be obtained. If you gain enough, it is not impossible for you to surpass Hector in strength in this world."

"It's a bit slow for the two of us to search for opportunities together, so let's split up. There are two ways to find powerful characters in the story: one is to actively visit them, and the other is to have them find us. I will actively search for reputable sects in various famous mountains and rivers."

Luo Yinglong smiled and said, "If all goes well, I will recommend you to join our sect after you have completed your apprenticeship."

Song Tian nodded and said, "In that case, I will slay demons and monsters in the mortal world and rob the rich to help the poor. After I make a big enough commotion, Cihang Pudu may send someone to assassinate me. Correspondingly, there is a high probability that righteous people will come to protect me."
