Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 378 Gods
Ji Fuyou quickly entered the living area where the four Martial Saints were located.

Information about the four Martial Saints also surfaced in his mind.

Of the four, the most famous is naturally the Three Absolutes Daoist. The remaining three, apart from Tang Song who was recently promoted, include Zhao Yuan and Yi Xingchen, who are also experts who have long been martial saints in the military.

If they hadn't chosen to refine the golden physique source crystal, which led to their mental breakdown, their achievements would not have been inferior to those of Zuo Chunqiu, Zhao Changkong, and others.

The four of them were quietly basking in the starlight, showing no reaction to Ji Fuyou's arrival, and the scene appeared peaceful.

Ji Fuyou observed for a moment but couldn't figure it out. With a thought, he captured their spiritual power and introduced it into the Void God Realm.

However, with this one move, the four Martial Saints instantly transformed from their previous tranquility and serenity into fury and ferocity.

"presumptuous!"

"How dare you disturb our bathing in divine grace! You deserve to die!"

"die!"

The four people's emotions went directly from one extreme to the other, erupting simultaneously. Terrifying blood energy condensed from their bodies and fiercely attacked Ji Fuyou.

The physical strength displayed at that moment was definitely above 45 points.

Especially the Three Absolutes Taoist, whose physique is definitely at 48 points!
However, while they have strong physical attributes, their utilization rate of life force is actually inferior to that of Zhao Changkong, Zuo Chunqiu, and others, let alone Lin Lun, Taili, and others.

Ji Fuyou directly unleashed the deflection force field.

The Three Absolutes Taoist, whose burst of qi and blood was the fastest to surge, unleashed his fist force, which was directly deflected by the force field and landed to the side.

The remaining Zhao Yuan and Yi Xingchen were also easily pushed to the sides by Ji Fuyou with a flick of his wrist.

Tang Song, who was a step too slow, was kicked away by him.

However, even though Ji Fuyou had clearly demonstrated unparalleled power, the four seemed oblivious to it, each maintaining their furious, even increasingly manic, emotions as they charged at Ji Fuyou once more, as if they would rather die than lose a piece of his flesh.

Upon seeing this, Ji Fuyou instantly visualized the illusory image of the Heavenly Dragon.

When the four attacked again, the phantom of the Heavenly Dragon appeared. A terrifying dragon roar, which was so awe-inspiring that even Luo Siming and the others watching from the outside trembled, suddenly came from the phantom of the Heavenly Dragon, causing the four figures that were rushing forward to pause slightly.

But only for a moment...

Even before the Red Rooster had lasted as long, these four martial saints, who were clearly inferior to the Red Rooster, had already broken free from the shock and were once again fearless, using desperate fighting methods to kill Ji Fuyou.

This behavior...

"The Nine Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon were almost ineffective against them. That slight pause was at most a consequence of the advantages I gained from my physique and spirit. As for their life essence... there was no enhancement whatsoever! Had their life essence changed? Or rather, they no longer considered themselves human, but had become..."

Ji Fuyou's thoughts drifted to this point.

The next moment, in the Realm of the Void Gods, a blurry yet radiant and magnificent figure suddenly appeared.

The moment this body manifested, the four Martial Saints, who had been ferocious and furious just a second ago, wishing they could exchange their lives with Ji Fuyou, seemed to have their minds and consciousness twisted. They not only stopped their attack on Ji Fuyou instantly, but their expressions were also filled with unprecedented shock and surprise.

"This...this is..."

"Great deity! I feel the radiance of the great deity!"

"My God! Great Lord God! Are you guiding your humble servant into your immortal divine kingdom!?"

After the initial shock and joy, the four martial saints once again entered into a state of fervor and worship.

The shifts in emotion, from rage to worship, occur almost without warning.

There wasn't even anything unusual.

Just as rage is normal, so is worship.

This change seems very awkward to anyone.

It's no wonder that everyone concluded that these martial saints had lost their minds and gone mad.

"It's quieted down now."

Ji Fuyou used the Void God Realm to shroud the four Martial Saints.

As the four Martial Saints regarded the Void God Realm as the divine kingdom of that great being, they swiftly and tirelessly dedicated their spiritual consciousness to it.

In the spiritual exchange between the Void God Realm and these people, Ji Fuyou also indirectly "saw" the image of the great one in the hearts of these four Martial Saints.

Moreover, unlike those who merely caught a fleeting glimpse of the great being's image, these four Martial Saints completely immersed themselves in contemplating the great being, or rather, they were completely corrupted by the great being's will. Under these circumstances, the image of the great being gradually became clearer.

Although still bathed in starlight, at least...

It has taken on a slight human-like appearance.

Even the flow of his own power seemed to have a hint of something that could be used as a reference.

"It really works!"

A glint of light flashed in Ji Fuyou's eyes.

He was indeed able to use these people, whose minds had been shattered by the remaining will of the Great One, to make the Great One simulated in the Virtual God Realm more real and clearer.

"I need more people to enrich the understanding of this great man!"

Ji Fuyou's thoughts drifted.

He directly guided the minds and consciousness of these four martial saints to the side of the great being he had simulated.

At the same time, try to convey commands to the four people based on that great one.

And so his orders were conveyed.

The four Martial Saints simultaneously diverted a small portion of their spirits to Ji Fuyou, their eyes filled with heartfelt respect: "Great divine messenger... the practitioner of our god on earth, from this day forward, we will follow in your footsteps with our lives and spread the greatness of our god."

Having said that, these martial saints, completely lacking any semblance of their former power, knelt before Ji Fuyou, prostrating themselves in worship. However, Ji Fuyou knew that these people were not worshipping him, but rather the great one he represented…

even if...

It is merely a great being simulated within the realm of the virtual gods.

However, after their consciousness was eroded, they had clearly lost the ability to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

In particular, the image of that great being in the Realm of the Imaginary Gods is based on their understanding of great beings, which will cause them to deceive themselves, thus making the simulated great being seem more real in their minds.

"Get up."

Ji Fuyou said something.

Then he turned his attention to Luo Siming, Qin Lu and others.

These people had an expression of disbelief in their eyes.

"Chairman, this...this is..."

"They are now barely usable."

As Ji Fuyou spoke, he asked again, "Aren't there also martial saints in countries like Griffin, the Northern Kingdom, and Black Gold who suffered mental breakdowns after refining golden physique source crystals?"

"Have."

Qin Lu quickly responded.

"it is good."

Ji Fuyou nodded: "Tell them to bring all these people here."

Qin Lu and Luo Siming exchanged a glance, then looked at the four Martial Saints behind Ji Fuyou, who were obedient and honest, with even fanaticism in their eyes. With awe in their hearts, they immediately responded, "We will go and convey your instructions to the various countries."

"Go."

Ji Fuyou said something.

At the same time, attention was focused on the Realm of the Illusory Gods, specifically on the "Great One" whose entire body was bathed in starlight and whose features were indistinct.

The principles of harmony between heaven and humanity and the construction of the sacred body have already been laid out.

The next step is to wait for the production of spirit crystals, then distribute the helmets in the Void God Realm to more people, allowing them to enter the Void God Realm and contribute to the completion of these tasks.

……

The Griffin, Black Gold, and the Northern Kingdom are very fast.

Those deranged martial saints were like ticking time bombs to them.

If it were eliminated directly, no one would dare to issue such an order against the world's opinion. But if it were left, who knows when this bomb would explode?

It's time-consuming, laborious, and thankless.

Now that Ji Fuyou is willing to take these people in, they are naturally happy to see it happen.

In just three days, delegations from the three countries had arrived.

Moreover, compared to the past, the leaders of the Griffin and Black Gold delegations this time were all the strongest in their respective countries.

And the purpose of their trip...

……

"Let's move together?"

Ji Fuyou looked at Tie Muxuan and Lin Ke, the two sixth-level Martial Saints.

"Yes."

The two Martial Saints put on a smile: "Although the first round of the Heavenly Ranking War is the least dangerous, we, the Griffin and Black Gold Kingdoms, are afraid that we will not be able to survive it. Therefore, we hope to rely on your country and on Martial Saint Ji. We believe that under Martial Saint Ji's leadership, we will definitely be able to overcome the war and avoid bringing greater trouble to the entire Crimson Star."

Lin Ke, standing to the side, chimed in, "We know that during the Heavenly Ranking War, the Great Shang Dynasty itself is in grave danger, and protecting our forces will be no easy task. Therefore, we are willing to order 500 million Void God Realm Helmets from the Great Shang Dynasty at a market price of 100 million each!"

After saying that, he immediately added, "We can pay for the purchase first."

Tie Muxuan nodded as well.

"One million Void God Realm helmets..."

Ji Fuyou looked at the two of them, his expression slightly strange.

How much is that?!
An investment of 10 trillion yuan!
The economies of Griffin and Black Gold are not as good as those of Great Merchant, and their annual government revenue is less than 10 trillion!

Allocate 5 trillion to purchase these virtual god realm helmets...

This is almost equivalent to giving up most of their fiscal revenue for half a year.

Of course, they can resell these 100 million Void God Realm helmets internally, so strictly speaking, they don't lose money. However, the sincerity of paying in advance is enough to give the large merchants a lot of room to maneuver.

Considering the scarcity of spiritual power in the development of the Void God Realm, Ji Fuyou said, "To the best of my ability, I will protect the members of your two countries' Heavenly Rankings. After all, we three belong to the Crimson Star, so we are interdependent. However, if it is beyond my ability, I will only do my best to ensure the safety of the Great Shang Group members."

"Of course! We understand!"

Lin Ke quickly replied, "We are more than satisfied with Ji Wusheng's promise."

Ji Fuyou has now completed negotiations with both countries.

The funds, amounting to 10 trillion between the two countries, were quickly transferred through various means.

With this injection of funds, the already established Virtual World Department immediately began operating at an extremely fast pace.
