Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 340 To Invite a God, First Create One
The whole night was far from peaceful; too many demons were roaming the Xun River.

These demons are not only those under the command of the Chongde Dynasty's demon navy, but also some newly born demons formed from the contamination of demon corpses.

Fortunately, these newly born demons were of average strength, and a few celestial craftsmen were able to deal with them.

They were originally lower-level demons corrupted by lower-level demons, and they could not amount to anything.

If it weren't for the fact that we're setting up camp here and are worried about something going wrong, we wouldn't mind just leaving it here.

These kinds of demons don't have enough evil energy, so they die within two days.

As for this polluted section of the river, there's no need to worry about it; it will dissipate on its own in a couple of days.

Evil energy cannot achieve the same level of persistence as nuclear contamination.

If even the evil energy of a group of low-level demons is so powerful, how could the Celestial Craftsmen resist it for so long?

The next morning, after everyone had rested and recuperated, they set off again.

On the way, Hong Shixun came to find Chu Danqing and said, "Fellow Daoist Chu, I had another dream last night."

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing immediately perked up and asked, "What dream?"

"Do you still remember the old man in the black robe with golden hair who taught me swordsmanship in my dream, and also gave me an official seal and golden fruit?"

“This person summoned me again last night,” Hong Shixun said, glancing around before whispering, “the method of creating gods.”

"When the Yonghua Society's ancient Qi cultivation technique, the Heavenly Craftsmanship Technique of Invoking the Gods, was completed, the then Society leader tried to invoke the gods."

"However, there are no gods in the world, so how can we invite them?"

"Therefore, if you want to invite a god to descend to earth, you must first create a god."

"The old man with blond hair and a black robe is the god created by the Yonghua Society, and they venerate him as the Taiyi Heavenly King."

"But just as this god was taking shape, the Eternal Transformation Society was destroyed."

"Fortunately, although this Taiyi Heavenly King God is only in its embryonic form, it is not yet dead." Hong Shixun told Chu Danqing the situation in a low voice.

Chu Danqing remained calm upon hearing this.

It's just a god.

Chu Danqing has witnessed both the Cave Goddess and the Cat Goddess.

Not to mention that this was only the prototype of a god.

However, it can be confirmed that the Cave God, the Cat Goddess, and the Taiyi Heavenly King are not the same kind of gods.

The lowest tier should be Taiyi Tianwang, since even Tier 1 can be created.

"So what are your thoughts?" Chu Danqing didn't say what he wanted to do, which was good news.

This means that I am able to regain this inherited skill of summoning spirits.

Hong Shixun told him all this simply so that he could make a decision.

But how could Chu Danqing make the decisions? It was Hong Shixun who handled the matter; why should he interfere?

"I want to continue creating gods and perfect the Taiyi Heavenly King through the people's faith."

“The divine summoning technique is indeed of high quality. If successful, there is a very high probability that it will overthrow Chongde and destroy the demons,” Hong Shixun said.

The core essence of the prototype of the deity Taiyi Tianwang is to slay demons and eliminate evil.

"If you really manage to do that in the future, what means do you have to subdue this Taiyi Heavenly King, instead of turning this world from a demonic land into a divine kingdom?" Chu Danqing asked.

Whether it's the Demon Realm or the Divine Kingdom, the final result is actually quite similar; it's just that humanity has a new ruler but is still enslaved.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, rest assured," Hong Shixun immediately said. "The method of creating a god is only a part of the technique of invoking a god. If we do not invite the supreme god, the Taiyi Heavenly King is just a rootless duckweed and cannot interfere with the human world."

“Inviting a god into the body to exercise its divine power, rather than the true god itself, and thus having no power to cause harm.”

"Since evil energy has caused disasters throughout the world, the Yonghua Society is also worried that the Taiyi Heavenly King will corrupt all living beings. Therefore, this celestial craftsmanship contains many restrictions on the Taiyi Heavenly King."

“So there’s no need to worry that this world will transform from a demonic land into a divine kingdom,” Hong Shixun said.

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing did not ask any further questions.

He was just worried, and since he wasn't a professional, he naturally couldn't question things based on his own unfounded speculation.

“Since you have this idea, then go for it. I haven’t learned this summoning technique, so I can’t offer you any help,” Chu Danqing said.

“Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Chu. I would like to start by spreading the word among the common people and the celestial craftsmen.” Hong Shixun paused after saying this, “and I will revise the content of the Yonghua Society’s previous preaching.”

"The Yonghua Society initially encountered problems regarding the identities of Taiyi Tianwang and the user of the summoning technique, which led to excessive estrangement between the two parties during the process of spreading the doctrine."

"This ultimately resulted in a low compatibility between the user of the summoning spell and the Taiyi Heavenly King."

"This means that he can only summon about one-hundredth of the divine power, and cannot exert it to its full potential."

"There were improvements made afterward, but unfortunately it was destroyed after only half of the implementation was completed."

"Fortunately, the Taiyi Heavenly King was only in its embryonic stage at that time. If we continue to develop it, we can succeed." Hong Shixun explained the situation.

The general idea is that while promoting the art, they also bring in users of the divine summoning technique, claiming that they are the agents of the Heavenly King Taiyi on earth.

Previously, the promotion was simply about Taiyi Tianwang, meaning that the initial concept of Taiyi Tianwang did not include any content related to the art of summoning deities.

It's as if the two are complete strangers, so Taiyi Tianwang certainly won't give them much divine power, even if Taiyi Tianwang is a god they created.

But in essence, it is a product of the combination of people's beliefs and Qi, or to put it bluntly, it is the prototype of a new type of demon with a different underlying setting from the Chongde demon.

"Huh? A proxy? Why don't you just say you're the reincarnation of Taiyi Tianwang and treat yourself as Taiyi Tianwang directly?"

"Forget about close or distant relationships. Aren't you Taiyi Tianwang? You can borrow his full power when we invite the gods." Chu Danqing went straight to the point.

“No, if that happens, I might be usurped.” Hong Shixun immediately said, “The Yonghua Society has already taken precautions against this.”

Chu Danqing discovered that as his rank increased, the advantages he had from the information explosion era were also diminishing.

Since the Yonghua Society was able to develop the art of summoning gods, they must have considered all aspects much more thoroughly than I have.

Nine out of ten celestial craftsmen who survived the terrifying Chongde era were exceptional talents.

Their vision may not be as broad as Chu Danqing's, but in other aspects they consider far more than he does.

“The theory of reincarnation is not valid, but there is the theory of offspring,” Hong Shixun said. “If we invite divine magic, it is the Holy Son of the Taiyi Heavenly King descending to earth.”

"Although it's not as powerful as the divine power gained from reincarnation, even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs. It allows one to obtain a great deal of divine power without any worries." "However, this method is only a conjecture of the Yonghua Society and has not been implemented yet. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well." Hong Shixun naturally preferred this method.

The agent's method had been implemented before, so there are records that can be replicated.

The Holy Son Lin Chen only had a plan on paper; he didn't even know if it would succeed.

Given the current situation, Hong Shixun knows that there is absolutely no chance of making a comeback after his defeat.

Their small power simply cannot withstand a second attempt to create a god.

"What if you compare yourself to Yonghua?" Chu Danqing asked.

"Naturally, they are not as good as the others. The fellow Daoists of the Yonghua Society are truly unparalleled in their craftsmanship." Hong Shixun could only learn passively, yet they were able to create such powerful and ingenious techniques.

How could we possibly boast that we can compare to Yonghua?

"Yes, the fact that they dared to formulate this plan and include it in this masterpiece shows that it is feasible."

“We are not as wise as them, so let’s just follow their plan. Why add our own ideas?” Chu Danqing knew his own limitations.

Upon hearing this, Hong Shixun nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Chu's words are truly resounding."

“In that case, I will proceed according to the method recorded in the invocation of the spirits.”

"Once I find a place to stay, I will silently present this masterpiece to Fellow Daoist Chu," Hong Shixun said hastily, remembering that he still owed Chu Danqing an explanation.

As for transferring the executor of the summoning spell to Chu Danqing, Hong Shixun didn't mention it at all.

Chu Danqing knew that this was due to the influence of the divine creation of the Summoning Technique.

However, Chu Danqing didn't care, since the method of summoning gods didn't suit him anyway.

He wanted the contents of the divine summoning technique, but only to take it back as a inherited skill to sell.

I definitely won't learn it.

Instead of inviting a man-made god, it's better to have the Goddess of Cats, who is more reliable due to the constraints of the Paradise.

“Okay, then I’ll wait for you to answer silently,” Chu Danqing said.

Hearing this, Hong Shixun felt relieved. He was afraid that Chu Danqing would compete with him for the role of the proxy.

If the other party asks, Hong Shixun will give up the opportunity regardless of the circumstances, even if he is reluctant to do so.

Fortunately, Chu Danqing did not ask for it, but instead offered the same condition as before: to make a copy.

The two chatted back and forth, and soon arrived at the location where the Heavenly Craft Ship was hidden in the Gezhou Pavilion.

There are quite a few Tiangong ships; Gezhouge plans to transport everyone out.

They certainly won't just prepare one or two ships.

It would not only be more than enough to transport everyone present, along with provisions, supplies, and artifacts, but would also leave a considerable number of artifact ships unused.

This shows that when Gezhouge came, he really meant that he wouldn't give up on anyone.

Unfortunately, life is unpredictable, and they were truly unable to do so, ultimately forced to flee on their own.

“This batch of celestial craftsmen’s ships requires the use of Qi to control them; ordinary people cannot operate them,” a celestial craftsman reported back after inspecting the ships.

This is a troublesome matter.

The number of celestial craftsmen is naturally far less than that of ordinary people.

“A ship requires at least two people to operate,” the celestial craftsman continued. “One person channels the Qi, and the other controls it.”

"If only one person is operating it, it is very easy for accidents to happen when they are distracted."

"Especially since there is a possibility of demons appearing in the water."

"After taking a headcount, it was barely enough."

The other party explained the situation without hiding anything, meaning that it was time to set off.

"You guys go ahead, I won't take the boat," Chu Danqing said. "I can see things more clearly from the sky, and I can respond to anything immediately."

Chu Danqing's challenge was not to deal with the water demons, but with the Death Bone Ship and the demonic navy.

If you were actually sitting on a boat, how could you possibly see the situation clearly?

Everyone had no objections and boarded the Heavenly Craftsmanship Ship to set off.

Chu Danqing then boarded the Eight Steeds and climbed the dragon carriage.

He doesn't need to do the observation; there are Pure Yang Heavenly General, Taiyin Mysterious Lady, and Vajra Warriors there.

Their attributes were much higher than Chu Danqing's; their perception and eyesight were better.

As for Chu Danqing, he happened to be alone at the moment, so he took the opportunity to open the excellent-grade treasure chest of the peerless general he had killed while saving Hong Shixun and the others.

[You have opened a Treasure Chest (Fine Grade) and obtained the Eclipse Boots, Paradise Points x2100]

【Erosion Boots】

【Leverage of Corpses (Passive): For each corpse crushed, gain +10% attack speed and +10% movement speed for 10 seconds, stacking up to 3 times】

Chu Danqing glanced at it and then threw it into her storage space.

These combat boots are useless to him; they're only useful for close-quarters combat, closing the distance, and charging.

We'll see if Murong Ying will be of any use then; as a military general, her equipment is indeed poor.

As for Guo Ming, he flies on a sword, which is much faster than running on the ground.
