Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Chapter 249: The Attack of the Sea Tribe and the Steps to Godhood
Beneath the calm sea surface lies a vast and magnificent sea that is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

And somewhere in this deep sea, a group of powerful and majestic sea creatures are gathered in an ancient palace.

"I can no longer sit idly by and watch my people die in such a humiliating manner. As members of the royal family, we are responsible for the lives of billions of sea people!"

A sea creature with dark purple scales was making a fierce speech in this ancient palace.

His scales emitted a dark purple halo due to his emotional excitement, which looked extremely eye-catching.

"Prince Augu, please maintain your royal elegance."

The sea creature sitting on the large crystal chair at the top of the palace, wearing a crystal crown on his head, looked at him with eyes as calm as a lake and spoke slowly.

"King, if we don't take action, the morale of our sea warriors will completely collapse."

Upon hearing this, Prince Augu first calmed himself down a bit, then raised his head and spoke to the figure on the throne in a calmer tone.

"Your Majesty, what Prince Augu said is indeed true. In just two days, our three sea tribe armies on the eastern battlefield suffered a devastating blow. Of the total 150,000 sea tribe warriors, less than 20,000 escaped!"

Opposite Prince Augu, a sea creature with turquoise scales stood up and said.

"According to the descriptions of the sea tribe warriors who managed to survive, the only thing they saw was a terrifying sword energy storm that churned the ocean. Any sea tribe warriors who were close were torn to pieces by the sword energy storm."

The king, sitting on the throne, did not say a word in response to the two princes' proposals.

At this moment, a slightly shrill voice rang out from Prince Augu's right: "Prince Augu is so anxious, isn't it because your offspring were in these three armies at the time?"

The implication is that Prince Augu's intention is to avenge his descendants.

Just this simple question made Prince Augu's face turn pale and his chest heaved violently.

As the Oriz plane is entirely composed of oceans, the number of sea creatures is more than hundreds of billions. With such a huge number, there are countless interest factions within it.

Even on the front lines, this kind of factional strife cannot be eliminated.

Prince Augu took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and said slowly:
"Prince Hertz, I hope that what you just said only represents your personal opinion.

The warriors on the front line are fighting bloody battles and desperately fighting for the future of the Oriz Sea Clan, and now they are suffering unimaginable pain and death, but in your eyes, it is just for one of my offspring?
Could it be that, in your eyes, I, Augu, am the kind of stupid fishman who can't distinguish the important from the unimportant?
Or is the fish-man someone else?"

Prince Hertz looked normal. He just looked up at the figure on the throne, bowed slightly, and said:

"My king, this is my opinion. I also feel indescribable grief and regret for the sacrifice of the sea warriors, but the battle in the center of the front has now reached a fever pitch.

If our Oriz Sea Clan achieves a complete victory on the central front, then the defeat of the Devoma Clan is inevitable, so my suggestion is to concentrate all our strength to win the war on the central front.

As for the Eastern Front, we will have to make trade-offs when necessary."

Prince Hertz's suggestion is simple, but precisely because it is simple, it is difficult to find problems with it.

From the perspective of the Oriz Sea Clan as a whole, winning the war on the central front and completely establishing the Sea Clan's victory is of self-evident significance.

Even after doing this, the final outcome of the dimensional war between Oriz and Devoma was already determined.

Therefore, Prince Hertz's proposal won the support of many royal family members in the palace.

But for Prince Augu and other sea creatures, such a proposal is tantamount to the collective death of their forces, camps, and families.

The reason is simple. Prince Augu, including the royal family that previously supported Prince Augu, has their camp and forces concentrated on the eastern front.

This was decided when the Plane War began. If they choose to abandon the Eastern Front for the sake of the Central Front, then there will be no way for them to survive.

Even if these royal family members are still alive, how can they be called royal family if they have lost their army?

"King, the life of any sea warrior should not be abandoned. As the royal family, we are responsible for all sea warriors. This is the teaching left by the Mother Goddess."

Prince Augu's voice was so excited that he even brought out the mother goddess of the sea tribe.

"I believe the Mother Goddess will agree with my suggestion." Prince Hertz said with a sneer.

"King, I suggest that we maintain the deterrent and suppression capabilities on the eastern front, and dispatch elite warriors from the royal family to completely eliminate the human who is causing panic among the sea warriors.

The other party's status in the human army must be quite high. Killing him will not only boost the morale of our sea warriors, but also undermine the morale of the human army. This is also of great significance to the overall war situation."

In a split second, Prince Augu quickly came up with an equally effective suggestion.

The next moment, the ancient palace fell into a heated debate.

This argument lasted for a long time until the sea creature sitting on the throne began to snore softly, and the argument came to an abrupt end.

All the royal family members stared at the king on the throne with complicated eyes. As dirty politicians, they already understood what the king meant.

This compromise approach, where neither side agrees nor rejects the issue, itself means that a decision has been made.

Prince Augu glared at Prince Hertz fiercely, then took the lead and walked out of the palace.

He had to hurry up, not only to deploy the forces of the sea tribe on the eastern front, but also to recruit the masters of the sea tribe to kill Gao Yang in one fell swoop.

As for Prince Hertz, he was equally fast. No matter what Augu wanted to do, he had to go against him.

If the other side wants to deploy forces on the eastern front, he will transfer the sea clan soldiers on the eastern front to fight on the central front. If the other side wants to recruit sea clan masters, he will recruit these masters into their camp and would rather send them to logistics than give them to Aug.

Whether it is the actions or arguments of the sea people, it has nothing to do with Gao Yang.

At this time, he had returned to the human military camp on the eastern front, a vast coastal area with endless military facilities that stretched as far as the eye could see.

It is worth mentioning that due to the existence of supernatural powers, the direction of development of the civilization of the Devoma plane tends to be supernatural rather than technological.

Therefore, in this huge military camp, various rune technologies and magic are very common, but other military transportation tools are not so extraordinary. Gao Yang followed the instructions and arrived at the rest camp of the visitors from another world.

This is an area specially designated by humans in the Devoma plane, specifically for players of the online game like Gao Yang or visitors from other planes to rest and live.

Here, most of the living facilities such as accommodation and meals are provided free of charge, but if it involves some high-end needs, such as drinking, conducting magic experiments, etc., you will need to pay extra.

This fee can be military merit or various high-value items.

Gao Yang's first feeling after arriving at this special zone for visitors from another world was that there was no oppressive atmosphere of war here at all.

All the human beings here are doing their own things. On their faces, you can see laughter, sadness, and indifference, but you can't see any depression.

Perhaps this is the unique characteristic of the players on the Zongwang.com. Whether it is for the dungeon or for this real life-and-death plane war, the players on the Zongwang.com always have a sense of detachment from the outside.

Just like players who are using controllers to control their characters to go on adventures, they certainly won’t feel sad at all because of the death of the game characters.

Especially when they can press the pause button to force a pause on everything, this player trait becomes even more obvious.

At this time, in a tavern opened by the Devoma humans, Raymond and his team members were drinking local wine and talking about various interesting things during their adventure.

When a team member told a joke that made the others laugh, Raymond held his wine glass with a serious expression and turned his head to look at the entrance and exit of the special zone.

"Raymond, what's wrong?" A team member noticed Raymond's abnormality, stopped laughing and asked casually.

Raymond kept turning his head and said seriously:
"I sensed it. The giant who represents 'death' and 'natural disaster' has arrived at the Otherworld Visitor Zone."

"Ah!?" The other team members suddenly stopped moving, and their hands holding the wine glasses became stiff.

"So, should we go get to know this big guy? If we get to know him, at least we won't be treated like trash and slaughtered on the battlefield."

Someone made a tentative proposal.

"This..." A trace of confusion flashed across Raymond's face.

On the one hand, he was very afraid of the aura exuded by this big man. On the other hand, the guidance of fate (seeking death) drove him and urged him to get to know a big man of this level.

"Captain, let's go. This is the 'safe zone'. Since that giant can come here, he shouldn't be a chaotic evil being."

"Yes, yes, Captain, let's hurry up."

Finally, at the urging of his teammates, Raymond put down his wine glass and led a group of teammates, following the guidance of fate, towards Gao Yang's location.

At this time, Gao Yang was at the war merit inquiry and exchange center set up by the Devoma humans, checking the items that could be exchanged for war merit.

It has to be said that when a plane is at the critical moment of life and death, the chips it can put out are beyond everyone's imagination.

Originally, Gao Yang felt that his military achievements were of little use, but now, he only felt that there was still a huge gap in his military achievements.

【Battle Merit Exchange List:

First place: Plane Core (Energy: 83G), Required Merit: 30000000
Second place: Seed of Divine Power, required merit: 25000000
Third place: Soul Fruit, required merit: 23000000
】

Putting aside other things for now, just the top three on the battle merit exchange list made Gao Yang's face freeze.

He didn't know what the Soul Fruit was, but after he read the description of the Soul Fruit's effects, his breathing became uncontrollably heavy.

The effect of the soul fruit is very simple. It can greatly enhance the soul strength of the eater, and there is a certain probability that it will cause the soul to undergo a qualitative change.

The soul is an extremely important existence for all life. Even for the gods, a high-quality soul means a high-quality supply of faith.

Therefore, the reason why those fanatical believers will be led to the corresponding kingdom of God by the gods they believe in after their death is because the faith they can provide is hundreds or even thousands of times that of ordinary believers.

As for what the seed of divine power was, Gao Yang fell into silence after reading it.

As we all know, only gods can possess divine power, which is an extremely high-level and even omnipotent energy.

The seed of divine power is an important component of becoming a god.

The steps to becoming a god are extremely complicated. The first step is to obtain divinity and become a demigod.

Divinity can be obtained by killing divine creatures or by making outstanding contributions to this world, but both the former and the latter are much more difficult than one can imagine.

The floor of divine creatures is legend, and legends who possess divinity are definitely not weak in the legendary sequence.

As for the latter, they are beings like the Son of the Plane and the Son of the World. If you want to kill such beings in this world, you are making an enemy of the entire world, and the risk and difficulty are extremely high.

If one truly obtains divinity, the next step is to choose a priesthood. Of course, the better priesthoods have already been snatched up by the gods.

The important role of the priesthood is to cultivate believers and thus gain the power of faith.

For a good priesthood, it is extremely simple to cultivate believers. For example, for the god of war, Tempus. All living beings that fight and fight, although they have not offered their faith to Tempus, their actions have touched the field of war, so they will still contribute their faith to the god of war, Tempus.

After cultivating corresponding believers through priesthood and gaining the power of faith, one needs to ignite one's own divine fire. If the ignition is successful, one can become a quasi-god and then condense the divinity to become a true god.

During this process, divine power will gradually emerge, and the divine power at this time will be the weakest.

This seed of divine power, to put it simply, is a seed of divine power. After possessing it, one can save a lot of time in the process of becoming a god, thereby accelerating the formation of one's own combat power.

This means indescribable temptation for all beings who aspire to become gods.

Of course, the fact that such a valuable item would be openly displayed as a reward for military merit shows how difficult the situation of the Devoma people was at that time.

At the same time, it also shows that the Devoma humans are still extremely far away from becoming gods.
