There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 561, The Uncrowned King

At this point, there's one more choice out of three.

Exhausted both physically and mentally, Xiao Yang chose to postpone this three-way choice.

Advancing to demigod status is not so easy.

It might be that it's not so easy for him.

Let's do it one more time.

Xiao Yang felt that he was really about to reach his limit.

On hold for now.

However, even if it's put on hold, it doesn't mean there's nothing to do.

Temporarily pausing the advancement process can also prepare for the next rank.

Upon reaching the level of demigod, one can already begin to wield the power of authority.

Broken authority is the choice of most demigods.

Or.

Even broken secondary authority is not something every demigod can possess.

And Xiao Yang had plenty of such things in his hands.

There are all sorts of random things.

Clearly, Xiao Yang's demigod rank is not the same as that of a normal demigod.

Theoretically, no legend could defeat a true god.

This is a complete fantasy.

But Xiao Yang was able to do it.

It wasn't even about bullying a clueless country bumpkin like the God of Spikes; it was about winning a deadly battle against a powerful evil god like the God of War.

Ordinary fragmented authority and complete secondary authority are clearly insufficient for Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang's goal was naturally set on gaining power.

This thing almost never appears in a complete state; even if it survives, it will be in a broken state.

Let alone demigods, supreme authority is something that most true gods are striving for.

But Xiao Yang, being somewhat biased, did indeed have the opportunity to do such a thing.

The power of superiors is "war".

Xiao Yang has already pieced together most of its sequence blueprint.

It's not just about war.

Even hope begins to coalesce in the flames of the dawn lanterns.

However, even Xiao Yang was not quite clear about the latter's condensation.

The Dawn Lamp stood upright in the Sea of ​​the Mind, and even Xiao Yang had lost direct control over this divine artifact.

But he wasn't worried.

The repeated manifestations of the Dawn Lamp, and its assistance to Xiao Yang, were all determined by the autonomous judgment of the artifact's intelligence.

Xiao Yang had complete faith in his old friend.

It has accompanied Xiao Yang all the way, dispelling the darkness, and it always has been like this.

Xiao Yang was unaware of this surprise for the time being.

The only way is to wait until his next promotion.

I will probably be drawn into the sea of ​​my soul again.

That was when he was able to formally accept this huge surprise.

However, Xiao Yang was unprepared for this.

My gaze can only fall on another item.

Although Xiao Yang felt that the power of war was not quite right for him.

This is his own feeling.

In terms of his self-perception, he considers himself a very peace-loving person.

But the only direction we can strive for right now is "war".

There's nothing we can do about it.

"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."

Xiao Yang was thinking about how to piece together this superior authority.

quickly.

The answer is here.

"The formation of power is simple in some ways, but complex in others."

The most important of these is intervention.

To use one's own power to intervene in the world, and to intervene in enough intelligent races.

then.

"Power was thus consolidated."

And how do those secondary powers, which are the pieces of the puzzle, acquire the power of war?

natural.

"war."

Xiao Yang is capable of launching a terrifying war that could directly consolidate the authority of war. This is evident from the power of his subordinates and the personnel he can mobilize.

"City of Hope".

One thing is certain: as the great savior, as long as Xiao Yang is willing to speak, the boiling public opinion will directly set this massive war machine in motion.

"Yes, it is a war machine."

From beginning to end, the system of City of Hope has always revolved around this one word.

"Cultivation and Warfare".

Farming and fighting.

Many times, Lena even had to actively suppress the war-mongering desires of those fanatical individuals in the City of Hope who were loudly chanting the name of a great hero.

This is especially true for the survivors.

They were fanatical and blind.

She held Xiao Yang in a fervent trust.

As long as Xiao Yang is willing to ascend the high platform and make a declaration of war, the Salvation Army will be the first to set off, and the second to follow the Salvation Army's footsteps will be the war vassal army formed by the survivors.

Apart from the City of Hope.

Then there are the empires of the homeless.

"Wild elves, the Starry Empire, ancient dragon descendants."

And then there are the dwarves who were recently pulled from the rotten lands and locked onto the edge of the world's vortex.

This is a considerable force.

This is true even when applied to the heavens.

"We have no shortage of high-end, mid-range, or low-end products."

Even those who fled in disarray.

They were also disheveled escapees from a massive world.

If not for everyone being locked down by the Crimson Moon during that disaster.

These displaced people would be considered a truly powerful force even if placed among all the heavens.

If Xiao Yang, the corrupt ruler who established his title of savior through his own achievements, were to actually launch a conscription campaign against the forces of those who had lost their homeland.

Soon, a powerful allied army will arrive before Xiao Yang.

Such a move would even be supported by allies, the gods of those who have lost their homeland.

As long as Xiao Yang reveals that he launched this war in order to consolidate the authority of war.

The gods might be even more eager to help these displaced people than Xiao Yang himself.

Superior authority is the stepping stone to establishing a pantheon.

A portal to the city of hope was established, and a massive influx of people poured into the city. With its openness to faith, the gods who had originally only sought a safe investment were unknowingly completely trapped.

The situation is now beyond their control.

No matter what they think in their hearts, outwardly they can only clap their hands and stomp their feet.

“Stud Poker is a kind of wisdom!”

"All in! All in!"

Then there's the Azure Profound Immortal Alliance, the Universal Federation, and the Green World Pioneer Group.

All these miscellaneous things combined already constitute a considerable force.

He is now, in effect, an uncrowned king.

"The Land of Decay and the uncrowned king who anchors and pulls together a large number of worlds to form a vortex of worlds."

The uncrowned king of such a vast world realm.

Although there are many problems.

The area under their control was only a tiny, remote corner of the Rotten Land.

But this is still a king!
There are only a handful of truly massive worlds in all the heavens.

Moreover, which one of them didn't find a partner early on?

Even though the rotten land is now so wretched.

But let's look at it another way.

"Chaos, ruin, and danger lurking everywhere."

"A blue ocean market, full of opportunities for development, with enormous potential!"

In an instant, the feeling was different.

War will not be excluded.

Just as the gods hoped for those who had lost their homeland.

"Promotion, consolidation of superior authority, and establishment of a pantheon of the decaying lands."

It was as if some of the glory of the past had been rediscovered.

Although such things are not mentioned directly, they are indeed a scene that many deities of the lost homeland long for.

"The lost land of the past."

A desolate land, decaying and heading towards death.

It once possessed that glorious brilliance.
