Chapter 848: Great Xiao Gu Ran Away?

A mark of the God of Knowledge appeared on the Book of Yellow Mud. The faith network that had been drifting without an owner for tens of thousands of years finally connected to Negris, quickly forming a godhood. No need to think about it; it must have been prepared for it by Ang.

"This dead skeleton... is actually quite good." Negris was so moved that its eye sockets were wet. "You know me?"

However, it was moved too early. When it admitted its identity, the two mages immediately cursed angrily:

"Liar!"

"Profiteer!"

"Return our money, you heartless God of Knowledge."

Negris was stunned by the scolding, but with their scolding, another mark appeared on the Book of Yellow Mud, and some information poured in.

After browsing through this information, it couldn't help but curse angrily: "Kuba Da, Silver Coin, you did a good job!"

The faith of the God of Knowledge was arranged by Ang to be spread, but the specific executor was Silver Coin. Due to some restrictions, Silver Coin couldn't be reborn directly in this world and could only enter this world through projection.

Plus, Silver Coin also had a God of Profiteers to spread, so the time allocated to the God of Knowledge wasn't enough. So it adopted the most economical way—a bad name is also a name.

During the exam season every year, a group of people would distribute booklets at the gates of various colleges, calling them exam secrets, which could be tried out.

Every time they tried it out, Silver Coin would project down and nag in the customer's ear, proving the effect of the secret book and making the other party pay money. But when the real exam came, it would stand them up, making those who bought the secret book jump with anger.

The damage of being stood up at a critical turning point in life could be remembered for a lifetime. The next year, when someone came to distribute booklets, they were immediately surrounded by angry candidates.

However, the people distributing the booklets were full of confidence and retorted: "That's because your faith is not firm. If your faith is pious, how could you not get a response from the God? Could it be that a group of people are praying, and someone has more pious faith than you, so the God responded to him and had no time to pay attention to you?"

This logic was perfect and irrefutable. No response from the God was because your faith was not firm or pious. When praying together, the God could only respond to the most pious one. Whose faith was the most pious? Everyone couldn't help but think of the one with the best grades.

Some felt guilty and dispersed helplessly, but there were still some guys who didn't give up and demanded a refund. If they didn't refund, they would beat people up.

But the problem was, these people distributing booklets weren't really believers of the God of Knowledge. They were people of the God of Profiteers. Whoever dared to do it, they would lie down on the spot.

Then a bunch of "righteous" enthusiastic citizens would run out to take them to the city hall or the political and religious office. In order not to let the matter of them asking the God to cheat spread, these impulsive guys could only pay compensation.

In this way, not only did the God of Profiteers make a lot of money, but it also brought the name of the God of Knowledge along...

"I Kuba Da, is this spreading? Is this spreading? This is slander, you ruined my reputation!" Many years later, when Negris saw Silver Coin again, it went up and tried to strangle him immediately.

Silver Coin ran while asking back: "Isn't your divine name spread?"

Not only spread, it was simply notorious, already associated with liars and profiteers. Fortunately, those who scolded it were victims, otherwise it would have to fight Silver Coin to decide who was the God of Profiteers.

However, things were just so strange. Although notorious, a bad name was also a name. In the case of being familiar, some young people who had heard of the God of Knowledge but hadn't been cheated would try to believe it?

Believing it wouldn't do any harm. As long as you didn't give money, you wouldn't suffer any loss.

So some people slowly prayed to the God of Knowledge, and even some people who didn't believe in gods would say "God of Knowledge bless" during exams.

Even if they failed the exam, it didn't matter. Anyway, they didn't spend money. They would only comfort themselves: "It must be that my faith is not pious, so the God of Knowledge didn't bless me," or "It must be that someone is more pious than me, so he didn't bless me."

Even some guys who passed the exam by their own strength would be humble when asked by others: "It's all the blessing of the God of Knowledge."

They wouldn't mention that they studied until 3:00 AM and quietly went to the library to make up lessons.

After thousands of years of development, because of survivor bias, some deeds that were more in line with people's cognition would be passed down, and those that didn't fit cognition would never be mentioned again.

For example, "How could the God of Knowledge lie?" "How could the God of Knowledge cheat you but not me?" "You use the God of Knowledge as an excuse when you fail the exam!"

Silver Coin spent the least cost and energy to complete the promotion task of the God of Knowledge.

Originally, the reputation of the God of Knowledge had changed to a certain extent, but it couldn't stand the fact that there were really liars in this world, and there were still some guys who ran to the gates of colleges during the exam season to cheat, repeating Silver Coin's road to wealth back then.

Because the reputation was better, more people were cheated. These two male and female mages in front of them were victims.

Negris said helplessly: "The one who cheated you wasn't me, it was the Profiteer, it was the liar. Go find them. You are not my believers. I definitely will protect my believers, but you are not my believers, so I can't hear your prayers at all."

At this moment, Great Xiao Gu and it had already boarded the adventure team's airship, traveling between a pile of ancient god "corpses," flying toward a direction in the Void.

The two mages also realized they had blamed the wrong person and could only mutter stubbornly: "It's because your divine power is not obvious, and no one maintains your divine name. There are no consequences for liars pretending to be you. It's because you are not good."

"Fine, fine, fine, I'm not good, I'm not good. I'm still a virgin." Negris replied unhappily and changed the subject: "Tell me about this place. What's the situation here? Why are there so many... corpses?"

The female mage introduced: "This is the Forbidden Land of Gods. You don't even know this?"

"I live here, how would I know what you call this place? Why is it called the Forbidden Land of Gods?" Negris looked thoughtfully at those ancient god "corpses."

Actually, those weren't corpses, but bodies, just petrified. They were all ancient gods who had surrendered to Ang. The more conspicuous ones included the Iron-Scaled Scavenger and a small snail stuck to its shell. It seemed Ang had already helped it complete the task of giving birth.

These ancient gods were all petrified, floating in this Void. Looking from afar, it was like a cemetery of ancient gods.

"It's just the Forbidden Land of Gods. So many gods were killed when they approached here. It's a forbidden land that even gods cannot approach," the female mage said with surprise.

Negris asked in confusion: "Then you still dare to come?"

Captain Ninova, who had been gnawing on bread, "Clang" pushed open her long sword and said very pretentiously: "Because we are fearless adventurers! Exploring forbidden lands that even gods dare not approach is our honor!"

Everyone was stunned. Negris looked at the male and female mages inexplicably.

The male mage said awkwardly: "Read too many knight novels. Mainly, we summarized the laws of the Pillar of Creation and found a route that can safely pass through this area and enter the forbidden land. Unexpectedly, there is nothing in the Forbidden Land of Gods."

Speaking of this, everyone cast their gaze toward the energy stream pouring down from somewhere in the Void. It turned out it was called the Pillar of Creation?

"It's too much to say there's nothing. Aren't there trees?" Negris refuted weakly. But there were only trees, not even minerals. There was basically no development value. The only valuable thing was the fruit of life, but these guys didn't know the goods.

This desert was mainly built by Ang early on, and there was nothing special about it. It was just too close to the Pillar of Creation, so for tens of thousands of years, no one could reach here.

After a conversation, Negris figured out the origin of this adventure team. They were students from various colleges of the Star Republic. After joining the Truth Seminar, because they couldn't find a suitable interest group, they formed one themselves.

Because they felt that "interest group" was too rustic, they changed it to "adventure team." Because they wanted to study the Forbidden Land of Gods, they finally came up with the current name. Although they had registered in the Mercenary Guild, they were essentially just an interest group of the Truth Seminar.

Negris had always felt that the Truth Seminar was the best match for the Star Republic. Only in a place like the Star Republic could there be a loose environment to develop a strange organization like Truth Why Is This Seminar. Unexpectedly, they really merged here.

A team composed of students who didn't know the height of the sky and had a strong interest in unknown mysteries came to the Forbidden Land of Gods and brought back a real god. This plot was considered old-fashioned even in knight novels.

After leaving the Forbidden Land of Gods and moving away from the Pillar of Creation, the gnome driving the airship activated a device and shouted loudly: "Everyone sit tight, get ready to bounce! Don't vomit on the airship, hold your bucket, otherwise you'll scrub the deck for me for a month."

"Bounce?" Soon Negris knew what was bouncing. The airship shook, pulling out countless traces of light and disappearing.

Space Slingshot! It was actually installed on an ordinary airship?

The next moment, the airship arrived in front of a Starburst Array. Below the array, a flat piece of land floated in the Void.

While everyone was vomiting, the airship landed on the Starburst Array.

"Starburst Array is built. Tsk tsk tsk, facing the ground, are you guarding against something?" Negris muttered in a low voice.

Ninova, who had finally recovered, came to greet: "Let's go, Lord Negris. Let's get off the airship first and find a place to settle you down. What are your plans next? By the way, where is Lord Bone?"

"Great Xiao Gu? Great Xiao Gu... Great Xiao Gu... where did Great Xiao Gu run to?" Negris turned around the airship and discovered in horror that Great Xiao Gu was gone.

"It ran away? It actually ran away? I... I don't have a soul connection with it. It ran away, so I won't be able to find it?" ===== CHAPTER 849 =====
