Chapter 1130: You Really Have an Eye for Things

Anthony and the others had guessed correctly. Em Lei was so fanatical because he was truly looking for a Star God. If there were a Star God, then the Star God's descent could be adjusted in a controlled manner, descending onto everyone simultaneously.

This amplification of combat power is dozens of times greater, but the power consumption doesn't need to increase by dozens of times, because not everyone is outputting damage at maximum power; some are attacking, some are dodging, some are moving, and those who haven't entered the attack range are watching.

Just one Star God can elevate a team's strength to an unimaginable level, without having to be like now, where every time a Star God descends on him, the other companions can only watch from behind. That's why he was so fanatical about Star Gods, hoping to gain their recognition.

However, having a god is not as good as being one yourself. If you can gain a Star God's recognition, why not let yourself sublimate into a Star God? Wu Er Si Man's appearance instantly opened up Em Lei's vision, showing him a path he had never imagined.

A Sword Saint roaming the endless void, how could he be willing to live under others for long? With a mortal body, to be able to train to this level of strength, Em Lei was definitely not the type to willingly bow and scrape. If there wasn't a second path, so be it, but seeing this new path, he almost didn't hesitate: "How can I sublimate into a Star God?"

As a master of psychological profiling, Em Lei's reaction was within Anthony's expectations. He certainly wouldn't say this was something he had deliberately induced. Instead, he gave Em Lei a meaningful look up and down, then changed the subject: "What are you here to do?"

Seeing that Anthony didn't seem to want to continue this topic, Em Lei understood. A Star God—this was the goal they had always fanatically revered. Although according to Anthony, there seemed to be an Origin above the Star God, it was definitely not something he could touch casually; he would certainly have to put in a lot of effort.

As for what kind of effort, he didn't even have the qualifications to know yet, so his first step should be to strive for the Origin's recognition.

At this moment, Em Lei's subjective initiative was brought into full play, and he replied: "We received orders to come and clear out the Undead City, eliminate all undead creatures, and then disperse all the death aura here. I don't know what relationship you have with the Undead City?"

"This is our territory," Anthony said directly.

Em Lei nodded: "Understood. When I go back, I will report that the Undead City has been cleared."

Anthony nodded with satisfaction. People with strong subjective initiative are easy to communicate with. When they decide on something, they will strive for it wholeheartedly, without any affectation, though they might be a bit naive.

"What is your relationship with the person who gave the order? Is it good?" Anthony asked.

"It was Little Joseph who sent me. Relationship? Not very good. My prestige is too high, and he often finds me an eyesore... You mean, he deliberately sent us here to die?" Em Lei said, suddenly realizing something.

"If he knew the Undead City had become our territory, and then sent you here for no reason, then it's very obvious. Does he know the situation here?" Anthony asked.

Em Lei suddenly understood. The Undead City hadn't existed for just one day; it had existed for a long time. Why hadn't it been cleared before, but now they were suddenly sent to clear it?

The only key now is whether Little Joseph knows about the changes in the Undead City. If he knew a powerful existence had appeared here and still sent Em Lei over, that was sending him to die.

"I don't know if he knows about the changes here. I have to go back and check," Em Lei said.

Yin Bi suddenly added: "Those noble children we captured before who went to see the Light Point Fortress were from the Joseph faction."

Anthony 'suddenly realized': "Oh, right, right. We captured a few kids from the Empress Feilie Empire side who wanted to see the Light Point Fortress. They were from the Joseph faction, I think their names were something like Beth Eve. Later, I exchanged them to Ao Jia Er. Do you know Ao Jia Er?"

A flash of eagerness crossed Em Lei's eyes: "I know him. The long-famed God Slayer. He, like me, practices Spirit Possession. I just don't know if his spirit is stronger or my Star God is stronger."

"Hehe, he changed his name now. He's called the God Registrar," Anthony said with a smile.

After tentatively chatting about a few more topics, Em Lei was very cooperative. He clearly could see Anthony was probing him, but he cooperated by saying whatever he knew, and soon revealed everything about his situation.

Em Lei was a Duke of the Joseph faction, possessing his own duchy. Unlike the main plane, the Divine Light Alliance's territory was so vast that any random duchy had one or two planes.

Em Lei possessed two main material planes with a population of 80 million under his rule, a scale far exceeding an average empire.

With people and territory under his rule, Em Lei naturally had his own armed forces: an army of over 100,000, hundreds of thousands of defense troops, and the elite Star God Legion.

Because it was a de facto independent duchy, many people couldn't figure out the bottom line of Em Lei's strength. They only knew it was very strong. Not only was his own strength strong, but the Star God Legion under his command was also full of powerful people. It was already quite good for others to have a dozen Sword Saints, but under his command was an entire army composed of Sword Saints and Profound Mages.

This kind of strength made even the Joseph royal family wary.

In the last few years, many things had happened. First was the appearance of the Light Point Fortress, which caused the calm situation to fluctuate violently. Many unprecedented changes kept appearing, making Em Lei feel that a great change in the void seemed to be coming, and even Star Gods were appearing as never before.

What Em Lei revered was the Star God. He had practiced martial arts since he was a child, and while training in the Empress Feilie Empire, he came into contact with the Spirit Legion. Being clever, he discovered that this model was the best way to improve collective combat effectiveness.

So after returning, he formed his own Spirit Legion. Others used heroes as the common imagination for spirits, but he simply used Star Gods—the legendary Starborn race that founded the Divine Light Alliance.

This was also the reason why the Star God Legion under his command was so elite. For a Spirit Legion to be powerful, it needs a powerful common imagination. But by now, Em Lei discovered that the Star God Legion had reached a bottleneck. Everyone's body has limits, which restricts the upper limit of their strength.

For example, breathing and food. Everyone in the Star God Legion, including him, needed these. Even if they could breathe in the void for a short time and could extend their eating time as much as possible, there were still limits.

At most half a day or a day, they needed to return to the airship to rest. This resulted in them being unable to leave the airship and unable to act alone in the void like those Mourner undead soldiers.

Humans have limits. What if they weren't human? If there were non-human Star Gods that could act as 'airships', if he could sublimate into a non-human Star God...

Seeing Em Lei being so proactive, obedient, and cooperative, Anthony nodded with satisfaction, turned back, and shouted: "Wu Er Si Man, you take him and tell him the key to sublimating into a Star God."

Wu Er Si Man floated over with a smile, restoring his original appearance in front of Em Lei. As a wise man, he knew Anthony's plan too well.

So he restored his original appearance to gain Em Lei's trust, and then said in the tone of someone who had been through it:

"If you want to sublimate into a Star God, the most important thing is loyalty, loyalty, loyalty. Pledge allegiance to the Origin, and he will grant you Star God Crystals. However, to pledge allegiance to the Origin, your strength is still far from enough. You can pick any opponent here; if you beat him, you can gain the opportunity to pledge allegiance to the Origin."

When Em Lei heard the end, he was absolutely furious. This was looking down on people too much, right? He couldn't even beat a random one?

Forget those three Star Gods of Wu Er Si Man, forget that little girl with three pairs of wings, forget that unfathomable guy Anthony, and forget that guy holding the black rope and studying it—he was probably specialized in equipment and couldn't be offended. But...

"It, I choose it. I don't believe I can't beat a random one." Em Lei fiercely pointed at Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si.

Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si rolled his eyes in annoyance, made a gesture of rolling up his sleeves, and floated over: "You really have an eye for things."
