Chapter 317: Spare no effort

"Boss, the external situation is exactly as you thought; it has already entered a white-hot stage."

"Our ascension plan can now begin."

Boss looked at the data in his hand; today's calamity is truly exerting its power, and the so-called descent of the gods is exactly as he anticipated.

The way of raising gu insects is not to let a powerful thing wildly abuse the weak, but to let two evenly matched things stimulate their potential in dire straits, thereby raising an extraordinarily powerful Gu King.

Only this counts as raising gu, and these two sides are naturally humanity and heavenly calamity.

"So, the so-called descent of the gods is merely to balance the power between the two."

"Then Boss, who exactly is the object they intend to raise?"

"That goes without saying, of course it's the heavenly calamity."

Boss began continuously deploying countermeasures in his communications equipment; now the true contest has just begun, and the means he laid out across the continent can finally be put to use.

"The meaning of the heavenly calamity's existence is to arise in response to civilization."

"A heavenly calamity without civilization is just a stagnant pool, and may even gradually self-destruct; only civilization, this perfect catalyst, can transform into the most beautiful gu."

"That boss, their goal, the ultimate direction is definitely an uncontrollable thing, right?"

"Is the final product a mixed heavenly calamity, or a civilization reborn from dire straits through fire?"

"You ask me? I'm not a prophet."

"In short, our goal is definitely the second one; I look forward to seeing how far the civilization reborn from the five heavenly calamities can go in this Star Sea."

"We'll wait and see."

"Is this the so-called god?"

At this moment, Jierte has already rushed back to the Empire; from afar he can see the descended god.

Holy, pure, and exactly like the godly image people commonly imagine.

But in Jierte's view, this image seems somewhat deliberate; after all, he knows some truths, so this naturally cannot convince him.

Actually, what puzzles him most is that he cannot see any sin or merit on this so-called god.

This makes it hard for him to decide; not being able to observe these, could it be because the other side is a man-made puppet?

Or perhaps an emotionless machine?

Either way, now is not the time for him to act.

The manifestation of the god in this desperate world immediately attracted a large batch of extremely devout followers; acting now would undoubtedly be suicide.

"I will grant you the power to contend with the heavenly calamity."

"But the price is your continually diminishing life."

"You.... are you willing?"

"Those who are willing, whether or not they are my followers, please step forward; I will bless you."

The god slowly spoke, asking the followers below, yet this sentence also reminded you of your aunt.

"Are you willing to live to old age and remain ordinary, or to die before thirty and leave your name in history?"

This question is remarkably similar to the current situation.

And the followers below, upon hearing this, first fell into thought, then one by one youths stepped forward with smiles.

"Even if life is shorter, it doesn't matter."

"As long as we can kill those damned heavenly calamities!"

"We! Spare no effort!"

The impassioned words fully expressed the youths' immature state of mind, yet they were the best stimulant in this disaster.

On the high platform of the square where the god stood, more and more people stepped forward; perhaps because the pressure of the heavenly calamity was too strong, the god's such 'minor' price also became a grace.

Indeed, when lacking power, such a thing of using life as firewood is most appealing.

Jierte asked himself, even he would definitely step forward when facing such a choice.

The Blue Sapphire behind him curiously watched all this; upon hearing the god demand her life, she shuddered with fright.

"Kn... Knight Sir."

"You definitely must not go up!"

The Catgirl cherished her own life greatly; of course, Jierte's life was equally precious.

"Are you scared?"

Jierte looked at her with a smiling squint; the Catgirl happily nodded.

"Don't worry, I know my limits."

When the first batch of the god's blessed ones came down from the platform, none failed to marvel at their own strength, and Jierte was equally amazed.

He watched wide-eyed as these people transformed from ordinary folk into beings approaching level three, strength of level two!

"Is this really not going to cause problems?"

Jierte was extremely doubtful, for he clearly saw that among those blessed, many were emitting black smoke; granting power to such people, is it not because they think this world isn't chaotic enough?

But Jierte quickly understood, after all, this so-called god is not anything good; whether chaotic or not is not in their consideration.

"Since it's like this...."

"Then I'll go up and take a look!"
