Give Zongman some collapse shock

No, communication is superfluous.

"I command you to lead everyone in prayer in the new city where humans gather to cleanse their sins."

"Pray to the new gods?"

"random."

Jiang Chen waved his hand, not wanting to look at this so-called Saint any longer. The entire Seventh Fortress's inhabitants were locked down and, under the control of spatial power, instantly transferred to the First Fortress.

Standing in the First Fortress, a land called the New City but actually a ruin, Celestine blinked blankly.

The civilians who were transferred here were also shocked by the sudden changes and became restless and noisy.

The next second, all the panic and confusion turned into exclamations.

"miracle!"

"Just as the Saint said, the gods have arrived!"

As the power of the Power of Reason unfolded, a vast new city, unprecedented in scale, quietly and silently accommodated everyone. Here, people needed nothing more than daily prayers. They would have endless milk to drink and bread to eat.

And, under Celestine's leadership, they were quickly infected by the will of the good god and were destined to be sacrificed.

Everyone's soul should be reincarnated as a dark elf or a high elf, right?

061 First Accumulation

The fifteenth day in the world of black beasts.

Everything is settled.

The ruins of the former Seventh Fortress were completely razed and rebuilt. With the power of law in hand, and after a second forging by the divine craftsman Hephaestus, a towering pure white palace quietly came to life.

As a medieval building without any technological enhancements, the palace can be described as extremely luxurious.

Of course, according to Hephaestus, the design of the palace is still too conservative. If she works harder, she will let Jiang Chen see what true ingenuity is.

Jiang Chen declined the offer and sighed in annoyance as he sat on the throne.

"A variety of unexpected situations occurred, but in short, today, we exceeded our mission and completely controlled this world in our hands."

So, why did things turn out like this?

At the beginning, the mission of the three of them was very simple.

I just want to liberate Hephaestus's power in another world, find ways to strengthen it, and collect some useful treasures or materials.

Before we knew it, the mission had changed to world conquest.

Now, in the Black Beast World, there is no longer any north-south divide. All monsters have been eradicated from the root, and the will of the evil god has been completely eliminated. This is equivalent to killing a god through trickery. Furthermore, another good god is also undergoing the same process of being killed.

Now all the remaining natives of the Black Beast World have gathered in the new city of the First Fortress.

There was a barrier set up by Hephaestus, prohibiting entry and exit, and food was delivered regularly. Everyone in the city prayed day and night under the leadership of Celestine.

If the Black Beast Mercenary Group is regarded as the source of the virus that spreads the will of the evil god, then Celestine is undoubtedly the source of the virus that spreads the will of the good god.

Sooner or later, the residents of the new city will be brainwashed into fools by the will of the benevolent god. For them, with almost no desires and pure and simple thinking, as long as they offer their devout faith to the god, they can exchange it for all the materials needed to survive. In a sense, is this the realization of heaven on earth?

They have no desires and the only thing they care about is survival. If their demands are met, wouldn’t that be a life of paradise?

All other cities, villages and buildings were razed to the ground.

Even the writings and books were deemed useless by Jiang Chen and the other two. Magic and martial arts were of little value, truly unworthy of learning. As for culture and the like… After poring over historical records, Xilin sharply commented: "I lose if I can find a single page of history book among so much yellow waste."

In short, everything original to the Black Beast World, whether it was race or civilization, was burned to ashes by them, and was completely destroyed.

Next, this world will continue to give birth to transformed dark elves and high elves, quickly filling the population and establishing a new civilization.

"It's time to celebrate, why are you sighing? It's really spoiling the fun." Xilin blamed unhappily.

"Didn't I just declare victory?" Jiang Chen rolled his eyes.

"Come on, your tone is just like a lament. I really don't understand what you are dissatisfied with. I feel that the world is much more pleasing to the eye now."

"That's right, it's time to be happy."

Hephaestus raised his glass and glanced at the high elves serving him, feeling very satisfied.

It's fair to say the High Elves have a very impressive appearance. Especially after their racial stats were rewritten, each elf possessed a gentle, submissive disposition. Crucially, these newly born elves, freed from the influence of the Good God's will, possessed exceptionally high magical talent and intellectual abilities.

With a little training, everyone can become an excellent magician.

The mentally retarded race became a genius race, and the contrast was so great that the three of them confirmed it repeatedly.

"I'm not unhappy..." Jiang Chen said quietly.

Just feeling tired and a little stressed.

He initially decided to embark on a time-travel journey with Kiana and Mei because he wanted to create an elite team. Fewer people meant less trouble, and the tasks they needed to handle would be easier. But after accepting the Hephaestus Familia, his perspective gradually changed.

If it were just him, Kiana, and Mei, they would only be able to collect a limited amount of magic crystals by killing people in the dungeon.

The Hephaestus family proved that there is strength in numbers and technology is the primary productive force.

It turns out that some things are difficult to accomplish with individual strength.

"Well, I'm just lamenting that I'm not cut out to be a hero."

"Hero?" Xilin's face darkened as she recalled some bad memories. "What kind of hero do you imagine?"

"Wow..." Jiang Chen paused. It was just a casual remark. But seeing Xilin's angry face, he thought for a moment and replied, "Probably the kind where one single-handedly reverses a desperate situation and triggers a miracle that ordinary people can't achieve."

"That's just a heroic story to fool children."

Hephaestus laughed and corrected him, "Throughout history, have we seen any heroic epics or great feats accomplished solely by one person? No one fights alone; humans seek out companions and rely on each other. In the eyes of us gods, humans are very weak creatures. But it is precisely because of this weakness that we can gather so many tiny forces together to accomplish things that they should be unable to accomplish, which is what is called a miracle."

Only the group can write those magnificent legends again and again and achieve changes that even gods would desire.

"Been taught a lesson."

Jiang Chen nodded and raised his glass in greeting.

"This journey has taught me a lot, and it has also allowed me to clearly see my own shortcomings. I don't have the wisdom to forge a plan, the mindset to develop technology, or the unbreakable determination to succeed. It seems I can only be frank and admit that I have many shortcomings. I need you, and the companions who will join us in the future, to help fill these gaps together."

"Hmph! I'm glad you knew."

Xilin raised her head proudly and secretly used her power to add more wine to Jiang Chen's glass.

Hephaestus looked at everything and smiled softly: "It's okay, you just need to be a qualified leader, and we will take care of the rest."

Then there is no more then.

This was a real banquet. The newly born elves did not know how to entertain themselves, and there was no performance.

Most of the time, the three of them would chat while drinking, calculating what they had gained in this world.

A whole world.

Two Elf production lines.

There are 4.7 million Evil God crystal units remaining, and an estimated 5 million Good God crystal units that will be harvested soon.

What's left is probably a sky full of stars.

Hephaestus said those planets were excellent forging materials. Many famous artifacts in the upper realm were made from planets. However, the Earthly World was populated by numerous gods, and the closer planets had long been divided among them. Thus, they were marked with sovereignty, becoming part of the divine power, or being forged into artifacts.

As for those farther away... even if gods can travel in space, they cannot endure a lonely journey that lasts for a hundred years, a thousand years, or even ten thousand years.

So in Hephaestus's eyes, the stars in the sky are all top-notch artifacts.

Compared to superficial gains, the stars are the real wealth.

062 Miss Kaslana's Gauze Minotaur

Jiang Chen opened his eyes drowsily and removed the slender arm that was wrapped around his waist.

Almost out of habit, she dressed and washed herself with the help of the elf maid.

It was not until a warm towel was placed on his face and the curtains were drawn, allowing dazzling sunlight to shine into the room, that he gradually regained consciousness and glanced at the person on the bed.

"No, am I dazzled?"

He rubbed his eyes and looked again in disbelief.

With her head buried in the pillow, the purple-haired girl, who had been groping for the pillow because she had suddenly lost it, now opened her eyes hazily, confirmed the direction of Jiang Chen, and rolled over little by little while holding the quilt.

"No, you are..." Jiang Chen raised his hand and pointed, in disbelief.

Who are you?

He patted his head and tried to recall his memories of last night.

I remember being completely drunk in the latter half of the banquet... That's not right! Although there were wine glasses at the banquet, Hephaestus was the only one drinking. He had specifically instructed that his and Silene's glasses be filled with grape juice!

Why does drinking juice make you drunk?

Seeing that the purple-haired girl had rolled to the edge of the bed, he hurried over to block her.

"You are, Celine?"

When I was groggy last night, it seemed that I did agree to someone's request and used the [Enhancement] ability.

Well, if nothing unexpected happens, the result will be the purple-haired form of Xilin in front of us.

so small!

I actually got involved with someone like this... This is so inhumane!

"Well~ I want to sleep for a while, come here and let me hug you..." Xilin grabbed the corner of Jiang Chen's clothes and murmured like a spoiled child.

"…It's already noon."

"Who told you to..." Xilin tried hard to open her eyes, but failed. Her eyelids opened and closed and she finally fell asleep again.

Jiang Chen suddenly felt a surge of pressure. He only vaguely remembered that he had the upper hand last night. The pufferfish had repeatedly challenged him, only to be severely punished. He begged for mercy several times, only to return to his aggressive behavior after a while. So, whose fault was it that things had turned out this way?

"How are we going to explain this when we get back?"

It's foreseeable that, given Xilin's personality, she'll definitely not hide anything. Kiana's okay, at most she'll complain a bit about being a twin soul with Xilin, but Mei...

On several occasions, Kiana inadvertently behaved like a spoiled child towards him, and was then force-fed Judgment by Mei.

"No! Mei must not know!"

Otherwise, the pufferfish will definitely be poisoned to death!

Keep it a secret for as long as possible.

He spoke a few words to the elven maid, quickly put on his equipment, and reunited with Hephaestus.

Today is the time to prepare to return to the Earth World.

Now, only the two of them can go back for the time being, and Xilin should have a good rest here.

"Wow~ You finally decided to get up. It seems like you had a lot of fun last night." Hephaestus picked up the teacup and took a sip, with a teasing look on his face.

"No, you know? Then why don't you stop it?"

"Why should I stop it?"

"I...you...didn't you care about my condition last night?" Jiang Chen was furious.

I didn’t feel anything at all yesterday, even my memory is fragmented!

"No, please don't. I didn't dare to care about the way you were yesterday. I was afraid that you would drag me into trouble." Hephaestus looked calm and didn't care at all.

In other words, to Hephaestus, who had seen a lot in the upper realm, what happened between Jiang Chen and Xilin was not even a small fight. Precious experiences were out of the question, after all, it was more enjoyable to become proficient in such things.

She had also seen the male god in the upper realm who had spent the night with the goddess the previous night and turned around and went into the brother's palace early in the morning.

Jiang Chen was speechless.

After a second of silence, he pulled Hephaestus towards the main hall with a helpless look on his face.

In the center of the hall, a golden octahedron is floating.

This is a special item that can only be seen by followers who have accepted the [Fate Contract] and Jiang Chen himself. As long as the permissions are granted, followers can freely travel through the world through the anchor point without Jiang Chen having to bear any extra mental energy consumption.

Without saying a word, they activated the anchor point, and in the blink of an eye they returned to the Hephaestus clan residence in the Earth World.
