Chapter 2256: An Ancient God with dreams
The negotiation went smoothly. Through this follower of the Ancient God, Su Xiao learned that the cult believing in the Ancient God was called the Min-Light God Cult, and its doctrine was to erase the sun and let eternal night descend.
According to the few words of this follower of the Ancient God, Su Xiao learned that there were originally two gods in this world, one in charge of the day, and the other the master of the night.
The two gods were opposed to each other, and their respective followers felt that the other side was a fool and a heretic, so they often went to war.
If it were just small-scale wars, that wouldn't be much, but after years of fermentation, the followers of both sides launched a decisive battle.
The final result wasn't a century-long war. The god in charge of the day suddenly fell. So far, no one knew the reason. Only one god remained, the Ancient God known as the God of Twilight.
Just when this Ancient God wanted to control the followers and let this world fall into eternal night, the pirates and the kingdom forces stood up. The result was that both sides suffered.
The pirate and kingdom forces suffered heavy casualties, and the Min-Light God Cult didn't fare much better, becoming a street rat, only able to hide in the darkness.
This result was something neither side wanted to see, so the pirate and kingdom forces sent representatives to negotiate with that Ancient God.
Through negotiation, the Min-Light God Cult obtained the right to preach, but it couldn't involve some important industries, such as maritime transport, grain sales, land ownership, etc.
Both sides knew this wasn't a long-term solution, but before involving some core interests, neither side wanted to completely turn against each other. The pirates and kingdoms were only temporarily united, and the two sides were already somewhat incompatible, so they didn't want to fight that Ancient God to the death.
It was precisely for this reason that the Min-Light God Cult got the opportunity to rise again. And now, the Min-Light God Cult had become a behemoth. They put away their former arrogance, took the initiative to cooperate with pirates and various kingdoms, and gave up many interests.
Pirates and various kingdoms wouldn't take the initiative to provoke the Min-Light God Cult. Although everyone knew that the Min-Light God Cult was a disaster, no one wanted to stand up and fight the Min-Light God Cult to the death. That kind of loss wasn't something any one party could bear alone.
It wasn't that no one advocated uniting to eliminate the Min-Light God Cult, this tumor, to avoid cloudy days all year round, and also to avoid the sun being completely blocked one day in the future.
Unfortunately, such a leader hadn't appeared before being strangled in the cradle by the Min-Light God Cult. They were intertwined in various kingdoms and pirate groups. Various kingdoms and the three legendary pirate groups had an iron rule: once a member of the Min-Light God Cult was found among officials or crew members, they would be killed without mercy.
On the first floor of the small building, the follower of the Ancient God lying on the ground had turned into black ash. The things the Min-Light God Cult asked it to do were very simple: lurk in Sea Demon Port and wait for the arrival of the Eternal Dark Day. At that time, a passage would be opened here, leading to a place called the Void.
According to what this follower of the Ancient God said, the god it believed in not only wanted to control this world, but also prepared to use this world as a starting point to accumulate strength, open a passage to the Void, and use the same method to preach in the Void, eventually ruling there.
Su Xiao had seen homebody Ancient Gods (Moon God), Ancient Gods who liked to impose despair on people (Dominator Sothoth), Ancient Gods who sucked the world (Black Goat Shub), and Ancient Gods who tried to connect two worlds and return to the glory of the old days (Faceless Azathoth).
Like this one now, an Ancient God preparing to attack the Void, Su Xiao had encountered for the first time. This was an Ancient God with dreams.
Even if the era of Law Breakers had ended, Arcane Eternal Star, Demon Race, Feather Race, Devil Race, Star Race, etc., none of the big races were easy to mess with.
Su Xiao looked at the black ash on the ground. This was left after the follower of the Ancient God died. There was a very special energy in it, most likely from that Ancient God.
The Min-Light God Cult was controlled by that Ancient God. Continuing to look for the traces of the Ancient God, it wouldn't be long before Su Xiao would be exposed to the sight of the Min-Light God Cult.
Su Xiao never underestimated that Ancient God and the Min-Light God Cult, and he felt that the Min-Light God Cult was more troublesome than that Ancient God. The Min-Light God Cult's power was so great that even that Ancient God might not find it easy to control.
Taking out the nautical compass from his bosom, as long as he used this thing, Su Xiao could quickly find that Ancient God, but whether it was worth it made Su Xiao hesitate.
When looking for something or a certain enemy, the nautical compass was the most effective means and could play a decisive role.
Thinking of this, Su Xiao put away the nautical compass. That Ancient God was indeed full of dreams, but it wasn't worth Su Xiao using the nautical compass.
Continuing to investigate would definitely lead to the Min-Light God Cult, which would be another pile of troublesome things. The safest way was to head straight for that Ancient God. As long as he slaughtered the other party, the Min-Light God Cult would collapse without being attacked. When a god bled, no one would continue to believe in it, let alone fall.
Moreover, members of the Min-Light God Cult would borrow the power of the Ancient God. When the Ancient God fell, the outcome of these tumors could be imagined.
Su Xiao collected the black ash on the ground and began to draw an alchemy array on the ground with Zhan Long Shan, an array that made energy overload.
This kind of array was an emergency measure taken when the main array was damaged. And now, Su Xiao wanted to overload the energy in these black ashes. If these energies came from that Ancient God, the other party would definitely notice.
The circular array with a diameter of 5 meters was soon drawn. Su Xiao took out 5 soul crystals (complete). He had obtained these in the first round of the Strongest Contest, so they weren't sealed in the storage space.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Xiao took the backpack on Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's back. There were still 20 soul crystals (complete) in it. He had obtained a total of 50 soul crystals (complete) in the first round of the Strongest Contest, so he let Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang carry 25 of them. After all, the supplies that could be carried were limited, and if he could carry things, he would carry them to prevent emergencies. And now, these soul crystals came in handy.
Taking advantage of the fact that it wasn't a combat state, Su Xiao opened the Reincarnation Brand and switched the title he was wearing.
After doing all this, Su Xiao embedded 5 soul crystals (complete) on the edge of the array and carved a small array in the center of the array. This array had some spatial properties. It was a pity that he wasn't proficient in this kind of array.
Sprinkling the black ash on the array, Su Xiao retreated to the edge of the array and pressed one hand on the edge of the array.
A soul crystal (complete) shattered. Driving the array required energy. One soul crystal was enough. As for the remaining 4, they were of course used to "fish."
Hum~
Black light surged on the array, and sticky darkness gradually gathered above. Seeing this, Su Xiao took a few steps back and began to wait.
He waited for a full five minutes, and there was no abnormality nearby. If that Ancient God with dreams noticed the abnormal energy fluctuations here and wasn't greedy, then Su Xiao couldn't help it. He would choose to leave Sea Demon Port and go looking for the location of Terror Island.
Would things be like this? Of course not. That Ancient God created a tumor-like organization like the Min-Light God Cult, which showed that the other party wasn't the type to be content with their lot.
Layers of energy ripples emerged, and the darkness on the array turned into a big hand. While pressing down, the soul crystals on the array disappeared one by one.
Su Xiao just watched this scene without making a move. He was waiting, waiting for that Ancient God to take away all the soul crystals.
"The sacrifice really succeeded."
Su Xiao suddenly spoke. Hearing his words, Bahar was puzzled for a moment, then understood.
"We succeeded! The god really exists! What about the rest?"
Bahar's acting was quite good; after all, it was Su Xiao's follower.
"Of course, sacrifice them all."
Su Xiao opened the backpack in his hand, squatted down, and poured the 20 soul crystals (complete) inside onto the ground.
The time was too short, and he had been running around. Su Xiao knew that this plan wasn't perfect, but he wanted to gamble once, gamble that this Ancient God was greedy enough.
Creating a tumor-like organization like the Min-Light God Cult actually showed that this Ancient God was very greedy.
Because Su Xiao was standing outside the array, the 20 soul crystals were poured by him on the ground outside the array, so the Ancient God could see them but couldn't eat them. ===== CHAPTER 2257 =====
