All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 64 The "Final Round" That Had Drag on for Over a Thousand Years

Name: Chu Xiu

[Occupation: Wuhou]

【Level: 36】

【Strength: 538】

[Agility: 539]

【Spirit: 741】

[Stamina: 537]

[Skills: Troop Deployment (Passive), Feather Fan East Wind lv9, Red Cliff Heavenly Fire lv9, Four Wheels of Mystery lv9, Star Lamp Life Extension lv18, God and Demon Unrivaled Eight Trigrams Formation (No Level)]

[Available Points: None]

After eliminating Lü Shengnan and the other two, his level increased by three, and his four-dimensional attributes also improved. But compared to that, the improvement in his skills was the biggest.

Of the three, Jia Tong only has one kill, while Wang Yuanjing is a max-level character with nine kills.

Lü Shengnan also got eight kills.

Including Jia Tong, that makes a total of eighteen skill points!

After leveling "Feather Fan East Wind" to level nine, they also added a full fourteen levels to the ultimate skill "Star Lamp Life Extension", bringing the ultimate skill level directly to "level eighteen".

The effect of increasing lifespan has changed to "one hundred and sixty years".

With repeated releases, it wouldn't be a problem to give others a thousand years of lifespan—combined with the group release of ultimate skills, if everyone in a world could live for more than a thousand years, Chu Xiu refused to believe that the world couldn't be upgraded!
In comparison, the upgrade of the feather fan and east wind was merely icing on the cake.

"Individual attack power is okay, but the group attack power didn't produce the 'Dongfeng Express' effect I wanted. I still have to rely on the level 10 ultimate move to unleash its power. But if it's used to fight electronic devices, an electromagnetic storm could probably send a modern civilization back to the First Industrial Revolution, right?"

Chu Xiu couldn't help but think.

He himself doesn't even know how strong he really is now!

In any case, it far exceeds the limits of a first-order world.

"I never expected that I could so easily survive to second place without getting a single kill or even fighting!" Zhang Taiping walked over, looking expectant. "Master Chu is indeed the man I admire. When will you take my head, become number one, and return to Blue Star to establish a guild?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu glanced at her and suddenly smiled.

"I can make you the vice president, second only to the leader, but it will come at a great cost. I don't know if you can bear it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Taiping instinctively clutched his collar tightly.

But then he glanced at Chu Xiu.

She let go of his hand and said, "It's not impossible for you. Such an outstanding man is actually a blessing for me... It would be even better if I could have him all to myself!"

Chu Xiu: "???"

"Get lost! What are you thinking! What I mean is, world upgrading isn't something that can be done overnight. If I waste too much time here, I'll be at a disadvantage, it's not worth it!"

"Then what do you mean?"

Zhang Taiping realized he had misunderstood, his face flushed red, and he dared not look at Chu Xiu.

But soon, she silently uttered the phrase "to dominate the blue planet."

She instantly felt fully revitalized, without any awkwardness, as if it were a spell to refresh her status.

"The game's rules dictate that as long as players are still in a match, regardless of how many years have passed in the instance world, it's a fixed month in reality; the timelines aren't synchronized!" Chu Xiu said. "That way, as long as you're not eliminated, I can have enough time to develop and push the world to its next level. The only price is that you'll have to endure the hardships and loneliness with me here. Can you bear it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Taiping remained completely unconcerned.

"It's just a few years, right? I can wait that long to dominate the planet!"

Thus began the incredibly long "final round garbage time": Initially, Zhang Taiping thought it would only take a few years, and Chu Xiu also felt that this world was inherently very mysterious and not far from the second-order world, so it should not take more than a few years.

But soon he discovered that increasing the martial prowess of the Three Kingdoms world did not improve its world ranking!

The difference between the first-order and second-order worlds lies in the systematic and widely applicable cultivation methods.

The Three Kingdoms world doesn't exist here. Talent determines the upper limit. Ordinary people don't have Zhuge Liang's brains. They could work themselves to death and still not learn the Eight Trigrams Formation. Zuo Ci and Nan Hua are exceptions.

So, to Chu Xiu's surprise, his delay actually lasted for over a thousand years!
In the first year of the Divine King's reign, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, and Sun Jian formed an allied army to intercept the Southern Heavenly Divine King Chu Xiu at the Battle of Red Cliffs. However, the Divine King defeated them single-handedly, with Yuan Shao and Sun Jian dying on the spot and Liu Bei seriously wounded.

At a critical moment, Zhuge Liang, a disciple of the God King who had been secretly working by his side, betrayed him. He stole the God King's most precious treasure, the "Eight Trigrams Formation," broke the formation, and rescued Liu Bei.

The God King also suffered a backlash and could no longer act easily!
In the same year, Lü Lingqi, also a disciple of the God King, rebelled and revealed to the world the God King's conspiracy to devour the world and return to the Heavenly Realm with the power of countless living beings.

Therefore, the God King punished them, and they suffered the torment of being burned by heavenly fire day and night.

They were cursed with "eternal life" and could not die.

Enraged, Lü Bu led his troops in rebellion and joined Liu Bei's "anti-heavenly god" army!
The following year, Zhang Ning, the former "Holy Maiden" of the Southern Heavenly Cult and daughter of Zhang Jiao, the former leader of the Way of Peace, led Wang Teler and others in a rebellion, revealing to the world the dream talk she heard while serving the God King.

This confirms that what Lü Lingqi said was true.

He added that the God-King does not want to devour all living beings, but to devour the entire world, shatter humanity and return it to chaos, and then create a new world, create life, and establish a divine kingdom that is entirely his own!

This is a disaster, and no one can remain uninvolved.

Thus, led by Liu Bei, with Zhuge Liang as his assistant, along with numerous generals, the three immortals of the late Han Dynasty who were native cultivators, and Zhang Lu, the traitorous Taoist master, they launched an earth-shattering war against the gods.

This event is historically known as the "War to Slay the Gods"!
This battle lasted for over a thousand years.

Throughout this time, the God-King remained high above, his divine power invincible.

But in the human world, many miracles were created: In the seventeenth year of the reign of the God King, Guan Yu, who was stationed in Jingzhou, was ambushed by Cao Cao's army and lost his life. However, Cao Cao, because he loved talent, built a Guan Yu Temple for him.

As a result, people's faith, coupled with Guan Yu's determination to defy the gods, elevated his spirit.

It doesn't dissipate over time; instead, it becomes increasingly solid.

He became the first god among mortals!
Standing tall in Jingzhou, it became a solid defensive line blocking the God King, and was known to the world as the "Great Wall of Heroes"!
The thirty-fourth year of the God King's reign.

Zhuge Liang, the chief strategist of the anti-god army, fought a decisive battle against the God King Chu Xiu, who was personally leading the expedition, at Wuzhang Plains. At the cost of his own annihilation, he activated the "Eight Trigrams Formation of Gods and Demons" from the God King, shattering the undefeated myth of the Southern Heavenly God King in one fell swoop.

They managed to gain another place in order to resist the army.

But he himself was also exhausted and on the verge of death.

In the end, he had no choice but to take a gamble and use the "Seven Star Lamp" to prolong his life. Unexpectedly, this turned out to be a stroke of good fortune, allowing him to break free from his own constraints and become the second "human god" in the human world!
From then on, a prophecy was proclaimed.

"If three gods are born in the human world, then the shackles of the world will be broken, spiritual energy will be revived, a large number of gods will be born in the human world, and the Southern Heavenly God King will lose his divine power!"

As a result, everyone became even more motivated.

With Zhuge Liang's "life extension," Lü Bu and others were able to prolong their lives, giving them ample time to pursue their own path to becoming gods.

Unfortunately, Lü Bu lacked a certain temperament, and Zhao Yun lacked a certain rebellious spirit that broke with convention.

They were all firmly bound by the rules of heaven and earth.

As for the others, they can't even reach the ceiling, let alone break through it.

Centuries later, Liu Bei suddenly realized his mistake and gave up on prolonging his life.

"My lord, have you found the way?"

“That’s right!” Liu Bei nodded and said, “I remember hundreds of years ago, at the Battle of Red Cliffs, the Chu traitor asked me, what if Guo Liang hadn’t actually died, but was just a dream, and then he woke up?”

"And what is your answer, my lord?"

“At the time, I didn’t believe it. I said all I knew was that the gods had killed my fourth brother!” Liu Bei said, “I rebuked them, saying that they were not gods at all, but a bunch of evil spirits who disregarded human life! That plague killed not only my fourth brother, but also tens of millions of people in the Central Plains! Not a single person in your Wei Kingdom suffered. You could have saved them, but you didn’t. Only those who recited your true name and believed in you were saved. You are no different from others. You are not worthy to be a god-king!”

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Why has it been so difficult to conquer it after all these years?
It's not that the God King is truly invincible, but rather that all the followers of the Southern Heavenly Cult have received the God King's blessing.

They can be resurrected, are fearless in the face of death, and even live forever!
Regardless of his character, Chu Xiu truly deserves the title of God King in terms of ability alone!

"At that time, Chu Xiu did not try to deny it. He just asked me if I would give up. I said no. As long as I have a breath left, my determination to destroy the gods will never change!" Liu Bei said, "At that moment, I felt that Chu Xiu, who originally admired me and did not want to kill me, had murderous intent. If it weren't for Kongming's rescue, I would have died without a doubt!"

"Because you are unwilling to submit?"

"No, because my unwavering determination to destroy gods can threaten him!" Liu Bei said, "The biggest difference between humans and gods is that the human heart is fragile and cannot sustain eternal existence. But my determination to destroy gods is firm, so I have the potential to become a god among men, or even another god-king, which is why he is afraid!"

At this point, Liu Bei's expression turned serious.

"Purify the corpse poison left over from back then and inject it all into my body, infecting me! With my determination to destroy gods, I will maintain my own consciousness, use the power of the corpse poison to transform, condense the body of a minister, and walk a path of becoming a god through the path of corpses!"
