Chapter 167 Epic Skills, Pay-to-Win Weapons!

By the seventh day of the first lunar month, the vast majority of workers had returned to their posts.

A major event also occurred on the Old Earth Forum.

"Regulations on the Management of Lucky Pigs in Changle Area and Regulations on Punishment".

Nowadays, the Bureau of Polls' announcements are becoming increasingly authoritative, and players read almost every announcement carefully.

So everyone read the entire announcement early in the morning.

This was indeed the first time the Empire had controlled supernatural abilities, but it was written with reason and evidence.

The incident originated from the "Pig Racing" folk custom in Changle, where rewards could be obtained by raising lucky pigs. However, as people became increasingly greedy, demons began to create living souls, which were then transformed into piglets and sold. Ordinary players, whether aware of it or not, participated in this activity.

This process even led to the descent of the Ghost King and the arrival of three calamities, but fortunately, the Bureau of Investigation's elites discovered it in advance and resolved the disaster.

The entire cause and effect of the matter were clearly laid out, and since no one wanted to be lured into prostitution, there was naturally a chorus of agreement below.

On the other side, the brothers Ao Peng and Ao Wu completed their temporary assignment and boarded a plane to return home.

The capture of the offending old-timer game players took place simultaneously with the expulsion of the Three Calamities last night. Ao Wu participated throughout the entire process and earned considerable merit.

As for Ao Peng, he accomplished such a great task and was rewarded with 100,000 merit points, leaving him with 200,000 merit points remaining!

In addition, the Seven Stars Temple can now reliably bring him millions of incense offerings, so Ao Peng suddenly felt that raising a few more gods wouldn't be a problem, and he certainly wouldn't be as strapped for cash as his teacher.

But just as Ao Peng had this thought, his good son, Little Chaos, found him.

"Waaaaah!"

Little Chaos excitedly circled around Ao Peng, its little wings flapping rapidly.

"happy event?"

Ao Peng stroked the little chaos's soft, long fur.

Little Chaos nodded quickly, then took out Ao Peng's phone and opened the Old Earth Game.

【O wise and resourceful successor, your verses of enlightenment, passed down through generations of the people of Chang Le, have become an epic. The power of time is gathering, causing a qualitative change in the deity you have venerated. He is now able to reclaim his lost power from the passage of time. Would you be willing to offer a little assistance?】

Ao Peng rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment, still not fully understanding the relationship between the body, the spirit, and the human.

It is now understood that each person has three souls and seven spirits. At the stage of the seven spirits, at least seven spirits can be invited to reside in the body. The spirits are yin and the spirits are yang. Through this yin-yang harmony, a person can be completed and thus achieve the goal of cultivation and ascension.

Each person's body and spirit are like an extension of that person's life, just like hands and feet.

However, the vast majority of deities have historical roots, such as Chaos and the Mysterious Woman.

Even the "Divine Martial Duke" that Ao Peng himself conceived, which was almost entirely his own, had a corresponding historical origin. However, this historical origin was not in the main world, but was created by him in a minor world.

Since there is a historical origin, it means that these deities have another original body. For example, Xuan Nu, whose full name is the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady. Although Ao Peng's little Xuan Nu was raised by the Yellow Emperor's Plain Girl Scripture and the Heroic Soul Suppressing Mountains and Rivers, she is almost the template of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady. But what is her relationship with the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady who appeared in history?

If ancient gods have fallen, their power is lost in the long river of history. Later generations can reclaim this power by finding the corresponding techniques and treasures.

Then, after cultivating to a certain level, one can come into contact with the true power of time and find the complete power from the lost time, thereby inheriting the unique divine authority and title of that god. This is in line with the rule of "inheritor of the old earth game".

Ao Peng thought for a while and then chose yes.

The prompts from the old game continue to appear.

After Chaos died in the ancient past, four divine artifacts were born from its shattered body, becoming symbols of Chaos's divine authority. Your god, Chaos, has used the power of time to find the forms of these four artifacts. Are you willing to help Him reforge them and reclaim His symbolism?

Ao Peng instantly understood: So this was what they were waiting for me!

In short: Honey, are you going to spend money on the exclusive weapon?

Each breakthrough in skill results in a qualitative change.

Generally, minor skills grant a useful passive ability, while major skills can condense a divine seed, serving as the key to cultivating a god. Legendary skills represent the process of a god further growing and mastering the rules through divine powers.

For example, Ao Peng's original "Verse on the Fruition of Speech Karma" was just for "seeking an official title," and its influence was limited to his own karma. After it was transformed into "Verse on the Fruition of Speech Karma," it was able to gradually influence the karma of others. This is a further evolution of karma.

This time, the powers of the three gods of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity were gathered together, so that the concept of "speech karma" was no longer just a misfortune. In the future, Ao Peng could also bestow blessings through "speech karma." In mythology, as a subordinate god of the three gods of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity, he could also be a god who records blessings and bestows misfortunes. At this time, in order to make his image more integrated with history, he needed to symbolize it.

Symbolism is a very abstract concept. Compared with divine authority, symbolism has a more personal attribute.

Theocracy can be likened to an official position that embodies the laws of Heaven, which can be held by different gods, but the symbol belongs only to you.

For example, in mythology, the Eight Trigrams Furnace of the Moral Celestial Venerable, the Taiji Diagram, the Immortal-Slaying Sword of the Tongtian Sect Master, the Pangu Banner of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, and the Ginseng Fruit of Zhen Yuanzi are all symbols of them, similar to how the Imperial Sword symbolizes the emperor. Of course, it can also be commonly referred to as their exclusive weapon, or more elegantly as the "Spiritual Treasure of the Sect Master".

I'm going to have to spend a lot of money on this!

Ao Peng then looked at the system notification.

[Over the ages, Chaos has lost four divine artifacts: the Mirror of Illusion, the Pearl of Chaos, the Diagram of Two Possibilities, and the Primordial Furnace. Please choose one to forge.]

Ao Peng saw a very important prompt below, which the system even listed on a separate line.

By choosing the symbol, you have chosen the path that you and Chaos will take. The meaning of inheritance lies in moving forward again!

]

Ao Peng's expression also became serious, and he quickly looked at what the four types of special weapons represented.

The Mirror of Illusion: With eyes, one cannot see; with ears, one cannot hear; all phenomena are illusory. This mirror, when used once, can erase the very foundation of existence of all things. When it shines seven times, it can erase the very principle of existence of a thing.

Ao Peng was amazed in his heart. As expected of Chaos' exclusive weapon, it would be the kind of treasure in mythological novels that could kill gods and immortals!

Each time this illusory mirror shines on someone, it can erase one aspect of that person's existence—first their voice, then their form, then their color—and after shining it seven times, it can completely erase the existence of a thing in the world!
