Gods: Civilization Cultivation, Infinite War

Chapter 154 Formal Meeting
Chen Li left the city of Lanxing and the place of origin, and prepared to go to the agreed place to meet Hua Luoyi and others.

Since this was the first time they met officially in real life, and his family was still living with him in the manor.

Chen Li had no plans to invite Hua Luoyi and the others to his house, otherwise it would easily cause them some unnecessary pressure.

"Mom and Dad, I won't be having dinner at home today. I've made plans to meet some friends outside."

After briefly reporting to his parents, Chen Li prepared to leave the manor.

Hearing this, Chen Tianhu, who was lying on a bench basking in the sun, was shocked and sat up.

Zhang Lanxue, who was watering the flowers, was completely stunned. She widened her eyes with an expression of disbelief.

"Hubby, did we hear correctly? Li Er said he had plans to meet up with a few friends?
Are they really friends? And not just one, but several! "

Seeing his parents' reaction, Chen Li couldn't help but roll his eyes.

He was not a solitary person to begin with. The reason why he had no friends before was simply because his status in the pantheon was too noble.

The vast majority of his peers simply don't have the qualifications to interact with him.

The few people of his age who were qualified to interact with him were either the most outstanding among the direct descendants of the true God, or they were the descendants of the true God like him.

But among this group of peers, Chen Li's level of nobility is also unique.

Not to mention some descendants of true gods, even if the true god himself came, you have to be polite when talking to him.

As natural divine creatures, the citizens of Blue Star are born with extremely high intelligence.

Even though they have just been born, it is difficult to find the childishness that is unique to children in them.

Among the many second-generation, third-generation, and N-generation gods, small circles bound together by real interests will naturally form.

Chen Li had no intention of joining those small circles, and those small circles did not dare to rashly invite Chen Li to join them.

So much so that until Chen Li became an adult, he did not have any deep friendship with the group of peers he grew up with, and not a single one could be considered a friend.

The reason why he was able to become friends with Hua Luoyi and the others was because the Place of Origin had unique properties, just like Chen Li’s school in his previous life.

Everyone should get along with each other more purely and not consider too much about the impact of reality.

Although Hua Luoyi and others knew that Chen Li was the descendant of a true god and possessed extremely high talent, this did not mean much to them.

At least when they just met, they couldn't expect Chen Li to bring them any huge benefits based on their small relationship.

When both parties get along with each other without any utilitarian motives and their personalities are compatible, it is easy to become friends.

"They are all friends I met in the Land of Origin. Meeting them in reality this time is also to plan for establishing an alliance in the future."

Chen Li briefly explained it to his parents.

"Establishing an alliance? Isn't this a bit too early?"

Chen Tian frowned when he heard this and was not optimistic about Chen Li's idea.

He had no doubt that Chen Li could become a true god in the place of origin.

But their pantheon is one of the largest pantheons in the entire blue planet.

It’s a bit lacking for a mere lower-level True God to want to form an alliance of his own.

The true gods form their own faction within the pantheon and possess a very transcendent status, provided that they do not form cliques or factions, otherwise they will have to compete with other factions.

With Chen Li's status, if he doesn't form cliques, he can get the highest treatment in any faction.

If he chooses a faction to join, that faction will be able to develop better and is expected to become one of the strongest factions in the entire pantheon.

But if he formed his own alliance and wanted to compete with other factions, it would be a completely different situation.

It is impossible for other factions to accommodate Chen Li just because of his noble status.

It is not easy for an alliance formed by lower-level true gods to make a name for themselves in the pantheon.

"Even if you want to form your own alliance, you can join other factions first.

At least you have to wait until you become a mid-level True God before you can consider going it alone, right?"

Chen Tian's voice was heard again. Currently, many factions within the pantheon have at least one middle-level true god in charge.

Hearing his father's words, Chen Li shook his head: "Different factions have different ways of doing things. If you join another faction, you will inevitably be affected to a certain extent.

Even if you leave the faction later, you will still carry the shadow of your previous faction.

I didn't want the alliance's development to be affected by these things, so from the beginning, I had no intention of joining any faction."

Without continuing to chat with his parents, Chen Li quickly left the manor and came to the place he and Hua Luoyi had agreed to meet.

Because the place they agreed to meet was in Licheng, Chen Li was the first to arrive.

The second person to arrive was Hua Luoyi.

Compared with the incarnation in the place of origin, Hua Luoyi's appearance in reality has not changed at all.

Her temperament is more like that of a girl, without so much solemnity and holiness.

Her outfit also has a lot of overlap with the modern girl in Chen Li's memory.

"Is this our first meeting?"

Sitting down next to Chen Li, Hua Luoyi asked with a smile on her face.

"That's it."

Chen Li did not deny it, but just nodded casually.

In the initial period, citizens of Blue Star were unable to develop their own divine domains, and their actions in the Land of Origin could only rely on an automatically generated body.

Apart from the same gender, the automatically generated physical appearance has nothing to do with the original body.

Today, the citizens of Blue Star rely on their own avatars to carry out their actions in the place of origin. As long as they are not deliberately modified, the appearance of the avatar is basically highly consistent with the original body.

However, an incarnation is just an incarnation after all, and is fundamentally different from the original body.

Now that the two parties’ real bodies have met, it can be considered a real meeting.

This is also the reason why Chen Li wants to meet them in reality, just to highlight his importance.

As long as nothing unexpected happens, the alliance will definitely be one of his basic bases in the future, and Chen Li will certainly not treat it casually.

“Is this where you live?
If it weren't for the spatial coordinates you provided for teleportation, I would have thought I was in the wrong place.

I originally thought that with your status and talent, you would definitely live in one of those big cities."

There was a hint of curiosity in Hua Luoyi's tone.

From childhood to adulthood, she had never seen a city of such a small scale. It was simply the first time she had ever seen such a small city in her life.

Including the gods' followers, the total population barely exceeds one million.

Compared with those big cities with a population of tens of billions, hundreds of billions, or even trillions of people, it is difficult for people living outside the city to even open a chain store there.

If the concept of remote areas no longer existed on Blue Star today, it would definitely be ranked as far away from the city.

"I grew up in the Divine Court when I was a child, and moved to the city after I became an adult."

Chen Li casually explained that, for him, it didn't matter where he grew up, and the higher-ups in the pantheon wouldn't treat him with the slightest bit of neglect. Licheng, the mortal realm corresponding to the subspace safety zone specifically opened up for him by his ancestors, was also the foundation of his future.

Naturally, he has to run the business well, so it is reasonable for him to live here.

"Did you grow up in the Divine Court as a child? Jingjing is also a resident of the Divine Court. You might have seen her when you were young."

"It's not that easy. The Divine Court has a large population, and the citizens who can live there are either rich or noble.

I am just a side branch of the family, and my family is lucky enough to have the opportunity to live in the Divine Court.

In that city with its strict hierarchy, if your status and position don't reach a certain level, you won't even be able to meet those important figures."

An Qijing also arrived at the meeting place at this time, took the drink that Chen Li had prepared for her and slowly tasted it.

Hua Luoyi had never been to the Divine Court and had no knowledge of it.

An Qijing grew up in the Divine Court. She wouldn't say she knows it very well, but at least she is relatively familiar with it.

As the absolute center of the entire divine system, the rules and regulations within the Divine Court are extremely strict.

Without a certain identity and status, you are not even qualified to travel freely.

Families like hers, who were able to live in the Divine Court because of good luck, were at the bottom of the hierarchy in the Divine Court.

Although you won't be oppressed or discriminated against, you certainly can't expect to live a life of superiority.

There is simply no way to contact a true god's descendant like Chen Li.

"Are you from the An family?"

Hearing An Qijing say this, Chen Li suddenly asked.

An Qijing nodded: "Yes, but I am just a side branch of the family.

The source of our branch is also a true God, but that true God died more than 8 million years ago.

After that, the status of our branch became lower and lower, until now, if a new true God has not been born.

We can either be accepted into other branches or establish our own.”

Speaking of this, a hint of worry appeared on An Qijing's face.

The reason why her family was able to obtain the opportunity to live in the Divine Court was that the branch she belonged to was trying its best to cultivate the younger generation, hoping that a true god would appear.

This is the only way to avoid being included in other side branches.

As for starting your own business, it is not a good thing before your strength reaches a certain level.

An Qijing originally had no hope for this.

The conditions in Shenting are indeed very good. Even an ordinary family like hers can benefit from the various policies there, thus laying a more solid foundation.

But wanting to become a true god by doing this is still a bit of a pipe dream.

Her talent is already among the best in her generation, and the probability of her becoming a true god is negligible, not to mention others.

But now there seems to be some turning point.

Being able to become friends with Chen Li is the greatest opportunity she has ever encountered in her life.

As the descendant of a true god and a peerless genius, Chen Li's future achievements are absolutely limitless.

Now he has been personally invited by him to form an alliance, and in the future he will be a veteran of the alliance.

Even if he cannot become a true god, his status will definitely not be too low.

It shouldn't be too difficult to solve the dilemma faced by our team.

"The An family..."

Chen Li carefully searched the memories deep in his mind and finally found a person related to the An family.

"Do you know Anlin?"

"I know him, but he certainly doesn't know me."

An Qijing nodded: "He is the most legitimate of our family's legitimate descendants, and like you, he is a descendant of the True God.

It is said that he is the most promising genius of our generation to become a true God, and he has received the best training from our family.

The people I have been exposed to since childhood are descendants of true gods like you, and they have nothing to do with ordinary families like mine.

From what you said, are you familiar with him?

"I can't say I'm familiar with you, but I can barely say I know you."

Chen Li shook his head. If he hadn't just heard An Qijing say that he was from a side branch of a family, he wouldn't have remembered the existence of such a person.

In his memory, An Lin was also a member of a small circle.

Among those small circles, the one An Lin belongs to can only be ranked in a relatively backward position.

An Lin's status in that small circle was just ordinary.

Given the strict hierarchy within the Divine Court, An Lin didn't even have the qualifications to speak to him.

This is also one of the reasons why Chen Li came to live in Licheng. He didn't like the atmosphere in Shenting very much.

In a place where a brick could knock down a large group of descendants of the true gods, everyone lived cautiously.

"How many, how many, am I not late?"

Just as Chen Li and the others were chatting, a young man who looked only fourteen or fifteen years old came up to them with a shy look on his face.

"Are you Zheng Jie?"

Looking at the young man in front of them, Chen Li and the others were a little surprised.

When in the place of origin, Zheng Jie's incarnation always looked like a strong man with a somewhat carefree personality.

Why now that I face reality, I have become a shy boy?

If it's just a change in appearance, that's understandable.

How come even their personalities are so different? Are you playing role-playing games in the Land of Origin?

"Yes, it's me."

Zheng Jie scratched his head a little embarrassedly, then explained: "You all know that my original clan is dwarves.

With my original personality, it would be difficult for me to get along well with my family if I didn't change a little bit.

The reason why it is still the same when I am with you is because it is still the place of origin.

For me now, the place of origin and reality are like two different archives.

I will switch at any time according to different scenarios."

Chen Li nodded and didn't dwell on it.

For demigods, they can imitate any personality and get along with others at any time as long as they want.
