Chapter 1086: Red Star · Flash
After some bargaining, Anthony got a crystal stele with some marks that even Negris didn't recognize, and Ao Jia Er got an insect egg and a seed.
Anthony explained: "What are plants afraid of? Afraid of insects. This is an insect specifically designed to restrain the World Tree. After hatching, it will gnaw on the World Tree until its roots are completely destroyed, completely eliminating the World Tree. Even a World Tree that coexists with the entire plane cannot escape its identification."
"However, there is a disadvantage. After gnawing on the World Tree, it will starve to death because other plants cannot provide sufficient energy. It will starve to death if it only gnaws on ordinary plants. So it must be hatched near the World Tree," Anthony said solemnly.
Ao Jia Er frowned. Is this a disadvantage or an advantage? This is clearly an advantage, okay? If it doesn't die after gnawing on the World Tree, wouldn't it become a pest?
Anthony picked up the seed again: "The second thing plants are afraid of is parasitism. This is dodder cotton. It will parasitize on the World Tree, snatch all the nutrients of the World Tree, and starve the other party to death. Sprinkle it secretly on the World Tree, and when the white flowers bloom all over the branches, the World Tree will die."
"This kind of dodder cotton is not as fast as insects, and it will not destroy the World Tree. Even if the World Tree dies, its branches will still stand in the forest for ten thousand years without falling."
"Growing insects and parasitism have their own advantages and disadvantages. It depends on which one you like," Anthony said.
Ao Jia Er also looked at the insect egg and seed in distress and said: "Give me a few more, I will try them all. You only give me one, how do I know the advantages and disadvantages?"
Anthony said "heart-painfully": "These things are very expensive. I will add one more for each."
Ao Jia Er accepted helplessly, led the insect egg and seed, and left with his heroic spirit army, leaving behind a crystal stele as tall as a person.
After they all left, Negris leaned over: "Good fellow, insects and dodder cotton are ours. After he finishes it, it's just replacing one with another. If he chooses dodder cotton, it's not parasitism, but symbiosis. The better the dodder grows, the healthier the World Tree will be. You profiteer, your heart is darker than Silver Coin's."
"Heh, that guy's heart is darker than mine. Do you think he really wants to eliminate the World Tree?" Anthony asked.
Negris was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Anthony looked at the crystal stele and said: "His real purpose is just to send this thing to us, the Heroic Spirit Holy Stele, a holy stele that can define heroic spirits."
Negris asked puzzled: "He went around such a big circle just to send this thing to us? Why? We wouldn't want this kind of holy stele that can define heroic spirits if it were given for free? Why go around such a big circle?"
"Do you remember why the Great Speaker asked us to spread faith everywhere? To occupy the ecological niche. If we have a divine artifact that can define heroic spirits in batches, although it is worse than godhood and has no growth, it can be 'batched' and expand strength quickly. Will you use it?" Anthony asked.
Negris blinked blankly, not understanding what Anthony meant.
"For example, when a bunch of students pray to you during an exam, you can't respond. Suddenly, a bunch of heroic spirits can help you respond and 'help' them pass the exam, but the faith energy belongs to you. Will you use it?" Anthony gave an example.
Negris slapped its waist and said righteously: "No!"
But immediately it said worriedly: "Although I won't, you definitely will. A bunch of heroic spirit popes helping you do things, so his purpose is to make us use this Heroic Spirit Stele? In this way, heroic spirits can conversely occupy the ecological niche of gods? Then you still agree to this transaction?"
"What's there to be afraid of? He has bad intentions, and I have bad intentions too. And we are not gods. The Heroic Spirit Stele is unsolvable for gods, but it may not be for Lord," Anthony said while looking at Ang, who was already studying the Heroic Spirit Holy Stele.
Heroic spirits are very difficult for ordinary people to understand, but this does not include Ang, who already has three heroic spirits at home. Red Star, Truth Cannon, and Sage all have one common feature—no intelligence.
That is to say, they do not have the ability to think themselves. Only in the Huang Tong Book can they think.
Besides the Huang Tong Book, White Crystal can give them the ability to think, and Nightmare Shaye Holy Armor should also be able to.
But the "intelligence" provided by Nightmare Shaye Holy Armor is too low, causing them to be no different from being in the Huang Tong Book, so everyone ignored it. According to Uersiman's situation, heroic spirits should be stunned directly after leaving the Huang Tong Book.
Besides the above two things, there is another way to exert the ability of heroic spirits, which is the Heroic Spirit Army used by Ao Jia Er, where a team of people worships a heroic spirit in unison, allowing its power to descend on everyone.
However, this method requires strict training and is not something ordinary people can do.
So now... define a heroic spirit first?
Ang suddenly thought of Red Star in his heart.
Red Star was actually defined by Dead Star Ao Au Au Benli, because no one had ever seen Red Star. Although many people in the first generation followed Red Star to learn, those people had already died of old age. The new stars were all taught by Ao Au Au Benli, including Red Star's deeds, which were also passed down by word of mouth by Ao Au Au Benli.
It wasn't until hundreds of years later, when the stars had a little power and the ability to build academies, build countries, build statues, and build wonders, that Red Star's image was truly determined.
However, a heroic spirit that no one believes in is ultimately just a statue. Fortunately, with Ao Au Au Benli's constant remembrance, Red Star could be preserved.
So Red Star was actually defined by Ao Au Au Benli. Even if she said Red Star was bald, then Red Star could only be bald. History is written by the living.
Recalling Red Star and putting his consciousness into the Heroic Spirit Holy Stele, a light spot quickly lit up, twisted and changed in the Heroic Spirit Holy Stele, and gradually extended a light shadow.
Negris took a breath of cold air and said in shock: "So fast? Did that guy say how long it takes to define a heroic spirit?"
Anthony also clicked his tongue and said: "Five years. He said it takes at least five years. He said at least two hundred teenagers aged twelve or thirteen should be found. Those with too high talent are not wanted, and those with too low are not wanted. Only those with average ability, living together, training together, and praying together, cultivating tacit understanding."
"During the period, eliminate the best and worst parts. In about five years, a heroic spirit can be defined, and the teenagers will just be adults, and a Holy Spirit Army can be formed. If a heroic spirit cannot be defined in five years, these people are basically useless and will be disbanded and replaced with a new batch. The success rate will not be very high."
Just as they were talking, a holy spirit had taken shape, and it looked left and right blankly in the Holy Stele.
People outside only felt a consciousness sweeping over everyone. Until this consciousness fell on Negris, the holy spirit's eyes lit up, a look of joy appeared on its face, it took a big step forward, and its hands framed: "Red Star · Flash—"
A red light shone on Negris. ===== CHAPTER 1087 =====
