The Fourth Disaster: People become gods through high martial arts and gaming

Chapter 358 We are merely porters of nature

Before the spire, after Huiyang finished speaking, the players were very excited, but the other people captured from Frostshade all became gloomy.

"The stronger we become, the stronger these insectoids will become as they parasitize us. I just heard some people say that even those at the Celestial Realm are only rated as captains and will live for at most a year. Even the most powerful captains only live for three years. With our talents, it's impossible for us to reach the Divine Fusion Realm in just a few years. Rather than let the insectoids benefit us, we might as well end it ourselves now!"

"Yes! I agree. We must not let the Zerg get away with this!"

"I agree. Since we're all going to die anyway, I'm not going to let the Zerg take advantage of me like the other people in the shelters!"

As one person in the crowd refused to advance and benefit the Zerg, more and more people from Frost Sanctuary stood up, intending to resist the Zerg's open conspiracy.

After all, when they were captured, they already knew they would become puppets.

The idea that advancing to the Divine Fusion Realm could extend one's life by a hundred years was too far-fetched for most people, and even impossible to achieve. Conversely, failing to reach the Divine Fusion Realm would only delay life by a few years, which was meaningless to them.

Just as some people in the Frost Sanctuary were about to end their own lives, they suddenly felt weak all over and collapsed to the ground, motionless. They then let out painful howls until the runes on the metal collars around their necks dimmed, at which point they gasped for breath, as if they had just escaped death.

“With this collar on, it’s impossible for you to end your own life.” Huiyang glanced at the dozens of people lying on the ground and said calmly, “Besides, people captured from various shelters have the same thoughts as you, but in the end they still chose to continue to improve, not to benefit the Zerg, but for themselves.”

"What do you mean?" a man at the initial stage of the Celestial Realm from the Frost Sanctuary asked curiously. "The more we improve, the more it benefits those insectoids, doesn't it?"

As the man at the initial stage of the Celestial Realm asked the question, everyone in the Frost Sanctuary looked at Huiyang, wondering why those people were still desperately cultivating and improving.

Huiyang glanced at the group of people in the Frost Sanctuary and smiled slightly: "As I said before, the spire in front of you is a legacy collected by the Zerg from all over the universe. The legacy here is incomparable to any sanctuary. The training methods inside alone are tens of thousands of times more powerful than any training method you have ever seen. On this second-class life planet, even a Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm can improve rapidly without using energy blood essence."

Upon hearing this, everyone at Frost Sanctuary was shocked. They never expected that the inheritance collected by the Zerg would be so powerful. It was astonishing that such a training method could improve one's abilities without the aid of external objects.

If what Huiyang said is true, then if they learn this training method, they can indeed improve much faster.

"Of course, the training methods in the Spire aren't suitable for everyone. After all, they were collected from all over the universe. Only training methods created by life forms similar to humans are not fatal. You should keep this in mind when you choose one. Also, the higher the level of the training method, the greater the risk of learning it. Don't be too ambitious." Huiyang looked at the surprised crowd, not at all surprised, because he had heard the same thing before he came. He then smiled and said, "However, the training methods are not the reason why everyone is willing to continue to improve. The real reason is that the insectoids collected some demigod inheritances in the Spire!"

For a moment, everyone in the Frost Sanctuary gasped again, and even the players trembled as they listened.

Demi god!

That's an existence that surpasses the Divine Fusion Realm!
Given that even the inheritance of the Celestial Realm is incomplete, the inheritance of the Divine Fusion Realm is already unattainable; I never expected there to be a demigod inheritance as well.

"It is because of these demigod inheritances that we are thinking of desperately improving ourselves to seize that sliver of opportunity!" Huiyang said with a firm gaze. "The Zerg are trying to use the demigod inheritances to keep us hanging, but we can certainly use them to deal with them. Although the demigod inheritances collected by the Zerg are incomplete and lack corresponding training methods, they represent the highest achievements of the demigod's own laws. That set of martial arts is divided into many forms, and each form, when perfected, will have heaven-defying effects. Once we can fully integrate them, we can reach the level of that demigod in terms of laws. It is a true path to heaven!"

"Brother, can we learn all of them?" Ragnarok asked excitedly.

Demigod inheritance!

This is something that even martial arts schools don't have, meaning it's a truly hidden and powerful skill. If you could learn all of it, you would undoubtedly be able to switch to a super profession and stand at the top of the player ranks.

“Unfortunately, the Zerg are not so generous. They only teach us one move at a time. Only after we have fully mastered one move and reached perfection will they teach us another. In fact, the inheritance we receive doesn’t even have an artistic conception diagram; it’s just the moves themselves.” Huiyang shook his head and sighed. “However, you don’t need to despair. Although it is more difficult to learn than for the Zerg, in the tens of thousands of years of history of Prison Dragon Star, hundreds of geniuses have achieved the Fusion God Realm by learning multiple demigod inheritances.”

"So, it's not allowed for one person to learn it all?" Ragnarok wasn't too surprised. Powerful inheritances in the game were hard to come by, let alone demigod inheritances. He couldn't help but ask, "Brother, does that mean everyone has to learn the same technique?"

“That’s not quite right.” Huiyang shook his head and explained, “Currently, the Zerg have collected the inheritances of six demigods. These six demigods have different laws and varying strengths, so the number of techniques they created also varies. The one with the most techniques has nineteen, and the one with the fewest has fifteen. These techniques cover a very wide range. Since our talents are limited and we are good at different things, the Zerg let us choose which techniques to learn. Considering that we need to reach the perfect state as soon as possible, everyone will choose to learn the technique they are best at.”

"Young brother, let me give you a piece of advice: don't be too greedy. The moves created by demigods are at least profound martial arts techniques, which are extremely difficult to learn. Many people spend a year and still can't learn them, let alone reach the perfection level or learn more moves. When you enter the selection, you must choose the move you are best at, so that you can buy more time."

"Thank you for your guidance, brother." Ragnarok smiled and thanked him.

"It's good that you understand." Huiyang nodded at the sincere Ragnarok, feeling that his persuasion had worked.

When he first learned about the demigod inheritance, he was very ambitious and wanted to learn it all. He even initially planned to learn the most powerful move. However, thanks to a senior who had been captured years earlier, he chose the simplest and most suitable move instead of arrogantly choosing the more powerful moves.

He was very glad he made that choice back then; otherwise, he wouldn't even have the chance to try, let alone study. He had once seen a genius at the Celestial Realm who was left with only half a life after trying a demigod's move. If it weren't for the timely rescue by the Zerg guards, he would have died.

Huiyang then answered the other people's questions one by one, while the members of Tianwei gathered together.

"Brother Twilight, according to this NPC, it seems quite difficult for us to learn all the demigod inheritances. Moreover, we can't be resurrected here, which makes it several times more difficult to learn them," a young man at the high-level Bone Forging Realm said with a headache.

The others nodded in agreement. They had thought that becoming a prisoner was a great bargain, allowing them to directly obtain the inheritance of a demigod, but they did not expect that obtaining the inheritance of a demigod would be so difficult.

Not only do they have to learn more than a dozen profound martial arts techniques to perfection in one go, but they also cannot die along the way. This difficulty is clearly beyond what a human can accomplish.

“It is indeed very difficult to obtain, but there is a bug that can be exploited!” Ragnarok said with a smile. “This demigod inheritance is indeed difficult for one person to obtain, but the NPCs have also said that at the beginning, one person can learn one move. With more than twenty of us, it is enough for each person to choose a different move to learn. In this way, we can get a complete set of demigod inheritance together.”

"Will this work?" Everyone was stunned. "The inheritance here seems to be the kind of tactile inheritance that martial arts schools have, which can't be passed on to others at all."

“Touch-based inheritance is indeed difficult to pass on,” Ragnarok nodded. “However, it’s not without a method. I’ve tried to pass on touch-based inheritance before, but this bug is quite difficult to exploit. It requires complete mastery, that is, reaching perfection. If we want to obtain a complete demigod inheritance, all of us need to reach perfection. Only then can we write it all down and directly mass-produce demigod inheritances.” “This bug tests everyone’s talent, and it is indeed quite difficult, but it should be the easiest way to obtain a complete demigod inheritance.”

After hearing this, everyone felt that the Ragnarok bug exploit method was currently the best way to obtain the complete demigod inheritance, and they could even sell the demigod inheritance to other players in bulk in the future.

Immediately, the twenty-odd members of Tianwei followed Ragnarok's instructions and were assigned to learn the techniques of the demigods according to their talents and numbers.

The simplest moves are learned by one person, more difficult moves are learned by someone with good talent, and the most difficult moves are learned by two people at the same time.

Even after Ragnarok had arranged everyone, he was the first to enter the spire to explore and decide that everyone should choose the legacy of that demigod to exploit the bug.

As Ragnarok entered the spire, the entire interior was a steel space with a huge intelligent crystal ball floating in the center. After simply scanning Ragnarok, a virtual screen immediately appeared in front of Ragnarok to display its judgment.

"Currently at the initial stage of the Blood Condensation Realm in martial arts, age 21, rating captain level, can choose one mid-stage training method of the Divine Fusion Realm and one martial skill."

The evaluation and description from the intelligent crystal ball slightly surprised Ragnarok. He hadn't expected to earn a mid-level Divine Fusion Realm training method. He was also curious about what level of training method a higher-level captain could obtain.

However, Ragnarok only thought about it for a while before turning his attention to martial arts. He clicked on the martial arts section to view the martial arts inherited by the demigods.

Instantly, the intelligent crystal ball displayed the legacies of the six demigods collected by the Zerg.

These six demigods each mastered different laws, namely the Law of Fire, the Law of Earth, the Law of Wind, the Law of Light, the Law of Stars, and the Law of Life. Among them, the demigod who mastered the Law of Life created nineteen forms of inheritance, and it is said that he was only one step away from becoming a god.

However, among the six demigods, the strongest is not this life demigod, but the star demigod who created the eighteen styles. This star demigod is named Huang. In the history recorded by the insect race, his strength ranks among the top five among demigods. With his mastery of the star laws, he became the strongest demigod of an era.

Because Huang is the strongest demigod, the number of geniuses who learned Huang's legacy in the Spire is the largest, but the number of geniuses who actually mastered it is also the smallest. The reason is that none of the martial arts created by Huang are normal.

All martial arts techniques are performed at the cost of burning one's own life, so their power is exceptionally strong. Even ordinary ultimate-level martial arts techniques can unleash power comparable to intermediate-level ultimate-level martial arts techniques. Intermediate-level ultimate-level martial arts techniques can be comparable to advanced-level ultimate-level martial arts techniques, and advanced-level ultimate-level martial arts techniques can be comparable to legendary ultimate-level martial arts techniques.

Because of this, of the eighteen profound techniques, there are only nine ordinary profound techniques, eight intermediate profound techniques, and only one advanced profound technique.

"A martial art that comes at the cost of burning one's life?"

When Ragnarok took one look, he immediately felt that the legacy called Desolation was tailor-made for them. Without saying a word, he chose the legacy of Desolation and sent the selection information to the other players via smartwatches.

Soon, the twenty-three players from Tianwei, including Ragnarok, had finished learning the eighteen profound techniques of Huang, as well as the twenty-three intermediate-level training methods of the Zerg in the Fusion God Realm.

"Boss Huanghun, we have this collar now, so we can't die even if we want to. What should we do now?" the young man at the high level of the Bone Forging Realm said anxiously.

According to their plan, once they have the training methods and the inheritance, they can leave, since the training environment here is nowhere near as good as a martial arts school.

However, when they actually tried to do it, they found that they couldn't even commit suicide; the metal collar would stop them first.

"Are you all stupid? It's simple." Ragnarok rolled his eyes at the youth and the others. "We're not allowed to harm our own bodies, so do you think this ring can stop us from having our own mental explosions?"

As Ragnarok was speaking, he used the Divine Visualization Technique in his mind, causing his mind to explode instantly, his head to shatter on the spot, and he lay stiffly outside the spire's gate.

The others also suddenly realized that they were used to pushing themselves to the limit through training and had forgotten that they could also use the method of "startling the mind and visualizing the spirit." Although it was difficult to expand one's mental sea to its limit and then break through by explosion, it was still very simple to make one's spirit explode directly.

Instantly, the other twenty-two people, like Ragnarok, all lay headless corpses in front of the spire, a scene that stunned everyone in the imprisoned sanctuary.

"What martial arts do these people practice?"

In this cage, they had seen many people get injured, even seriously injured, while practicing martial arts, but this was definitely the first time they had ever seen someone whose head had been blown off while practicing martial arts.

This made the Zerg suspect that there might be some unsafe martial arts techniques stored in the Hidden Martial Arts Tower. This caused them to go crazy and check the martial arts techniques in the Hidden Martial Arts Tower overnight, as well as the martial arts techniques practiced by people like Ragnarok, and they didn't even let go of the training methods.

However, the deaths of Ragnarok and the others were just a minor episode in this prison, and no one on the entire Hell Dragon Star cared about them.

Lin Qi, on the other hand, was overjoyed. He had obtained more than twenty sets of training methods for the Fusion God Realm from the Zerg without doing anything. He had also obtained a set of demigod inheritance. Although it would take some time for the player to write it down, it undoubtedly gave the martial arts school the capital to fight against the Zerg.

Ten days later, a massive spaceship, more than ten kilometers long, stopped in front of a planet shrouded in a thin layer of blood mist.

"Lord Baroque, the ship's energy has been fully replenished and it can once again unleash the alien interference energy wave. We are ready to enter the restricted area at any time," a man covered in blue vines reported, looking at the display screen.

"That guy Gusion has really regressed. He can't even handle a sanctuary with only six Grandmasters and less than two hundred other Grandmasters. In the next ranking battle, his ranking will definitely be squeezed out of the top fifty." The four-meter-tall, eight-winged Baroque looked at the Frost Sanctuary's high-danger and dangerous life counts displayed on the warship's main screen and then ordered, "Alright! All troops enter the restricted area!"

In an instant, the spaceship carrying the Baroque banner flew directly towards Frost Sanctuary.
