Chapter 170 Ancient God Sacrificial Instruments and Territory Siege

Chapter 169

  "Mysterious bell?"

  Rosen took out all the sundries that his self-portrait clone had packed up and brought back from the scavenging space.

  There was indeed a bell inside, but he didn't detect any spirituality in it so he treated it as a piece of junk.

  If I hadn't read the memories of old Viscount Redstone, I would have missed this treasure this time.

  Rosen picked up the bell and covered the bottom of the bell with his hand without leaving any gap, then gently shook the bell.

  His spiritual strength, which was already 39 points, instantly increased by 9 points to 48 points.

  Moreover, there was nothing abnormal about the enhanced spirituality, as if these nine points of spirituality originally belonged to him.

  Rosen stopped shaking the bell, and the nine points of enhanced spirituality disappeared instantly.

  Rosen looked at the bell in his hand with a serious expression. This thing was definitely a precious treasure.

  The reason is simple, this thing can help the extraordinary sequence greatly increase the chance of promotion to the sequence.

  Looking at the extraordinary world, there are actually many ways to temporarily increase spiritual strength.

  It can directly increase the spiritual strength of Sequence 9 to Sequence 1 temporarily. Such things have existed in history.

  However, these methods of increasing spiritual strength all rely on external forces to increase spirituality.

  Spirituality, as the core of life, is equivalent to a core wrapped around another core.

  However, the spiritual power enhanced by this bell is equivalent to making the original core much larger, which is equivalent to widening the upper limit of the original core. His spiritual power is now directly enhanced to 48 points. If he takes the Sequence 5 Hunter Potion, he can even be directly promoted to Sequence 5.

  Of course, if the bell sound stopped at this time, his spiritual strength would drop back to Sequence 6.

  Therefore, if this bell is used at the limit of each sequence, it means that the bottleneck of sequence promotion can be ignored.

  Rosen had never heard of such a thing.

  Rosen then conducted various appraisals, and the results of both the Lord God Computer and the Miracle Pocket turned out to be an ordinary bronze bell, which meant that the true identity of this thing was definitely extraordinary.

  According to the memory of old Viscount Redstone, this bell once belonged to the Howard family.

  Like the bloodline compass, this bell is also a Howard family heirloom.

  It seems that the Howard family is hiding other secrets.

  The entire civilization of the Xinhuo Divine Kingdom was destroyed, but the Howard family survived.

  This in itself is incredible. In the past, Rosen thought that it was the God of Fire who saved the Howard family, but now it seems that perhaps the Howard family itself is very special, so it is regarded as a tool to rekindle the fire of civilization.

  In the following days, Rosen studied the bell through various means.

  In the end, he found nothing and, a little angry, he dropped a drop of blood on the mysterious bell.

  The legendary method of identification by dropping blood didn't work, so he could only give up on searching for the true identity of the bell for the time being.

  However, something unexpected happened. The mysterious bell actually absorbed his blood.

  Rosen felt the information transmitted by the mysterious bell and took a long time to digest it before he came back to his senses.

  "It's true that he recognized his master by dripping blood..."

  Rosen smiled bitterly.

  This mysterious bell is neither a supernatural object nor a miraculous treasure.

  Rather, it is something called an ancient god sacrificial vessel. The bell sound that strengthens spirituality is only a passive effect. If the power of this ancient god sacrificial vessel is truly unleashed, it can suppress the destiny of a race's civilization and even gradually awaken the dormant bloodline of the ancient gods.

  Speaking of ancient gods, the first thing Rosen thought of was the ancient god civilization among the three great nine-tribulation civilizations.

  If this ancient god sacrificial vessel is really a product of the ancient god civilization, and his blood can actually activate this ancient god sacrificial vessel, it means that the Howard family may be the descendants of the ancient god civilization, and have the dormant ancient god blood in their bodies.

  Rosen pressed the ancient god's sacrificial vessel towards his heart, and after it became virtual, it entered his heart and stayed there.

  His blood continuously washed the ancient god's sacrificial vessels, and the washed blood actually contained a faint golden glow.

  Rosen's heartbeat quickened slightly; he really had picked up a treasure this time.

  He had a feeling that the ancient god's sacrificial instrument might not be inferior to the main god's computer.

  …

  A few days later, at the Painters' Association of Chiying Royal City.

  Ms. Fam, who had successfully advanced to Sequence 6, was filled with emotion as she looked across at Rosen, who was also at Sequence 6.

  Back then, one was Sequence 7 and the other was Sequence 9, but now both are Sequence 6.

  The next time they meet, she might look up to Rosen.

  Rosen was actually a little surprised to meet Ms. Fam this time.

  Because newly promoted Sequence 6 painters usually travel to surrounding countries to see more of the world.

  Unexpectedly, Ms. Fam stayed in the Blazing King City and became the new president of the Painters' Association.

  "My full name is Fam Blazeshadow."

  Ms. Fam's solemn self-introduction resolved Rosen's doubts.

  "I see. But I still suggest you go to the Thunder Empire."

  Rosen said sincerely.

  "I'll go there in a few years. A Sequence 6 painter cannot go any further in the Principality of Blazing Shadow."

  Ms. Farm nodded in agreement.

  Rosen spent most of the next day discussing his and Ms. Fam's respective experiences with the Painter's Sequence.

  He also showed Ms. Farm various natural wonders that he had painted through the ash curtain.

  Finally, he explained his purpose, which was to complete two spiritual paintings in the painters' branch.

  One of the paintings was left to the Painters' Association, and the other was given to the Alonso family who migrated from the Dungeon Kingdom.

  It was because Marquis Alonso invested in Rosen that he was able to obtain the heart of a Sequence 4 Mind Eater to enhance his drawing skills.

  When the Dungeon Kingdom Demon incident broke out, it caused huge damage to the entire Adventure Kingdom City.

  Marquis Alonso unfortunately died on that day, and finally chose to move his family to the Principality of Chiying.

  Rosen had originally been thinking of heading to the Dungeon Kingdom to settle this favor after a while, but he didn't expect to get news about the Alonso family in the Blazing Shadow City. It was a good opportunity for him to paint an extra spiritual painting to repay the favor.

  For the spiritual paintings painted for the Painters' Branch, the consumables are of course provided by the Painters' Branch.

  With the help of the Time Tower, Rosen completed his first painting in just two weeks in real life.

  This painting depicts a shipyard in the Principality of Chiying that was once destroyed by a supernatural sea beast. The ship workers who died many years ago were all resurrected by capturing historical traces from deep in the spiritual world with the finishing touches.

  Through this spiritual painting, it is possible to stably produce Sequence 9 extraordinary ships.

  However, when the painting was finished, Rosen looked a little unhappy.

  Because he discovered that the shipyard in the painting was not destroyed by the extraordinary sea monster at all.

  Instead, it was destroyed by a pirate ship disguised as a supernatural sea beast, or it might even have been destroyed by the Chiying family themselves.

  The Chiying family did this in order to recreate this shipyard through spiritual paintings in the future.

  Originally, the shipyard belonged to a marquis family of the Chiying Kingdom. Now, with this operation by the Chiying family, the shipyard was immediately turned into their own family spiritual realm. There are probably many similar operations.

  Although Ms. Fam seemed unaware of it, he didn't plan to have too much contact with her in the future.

  Because he and the Chiying family will have a fight sooner or later.

  Rosen continued to paint the second spiritual realm painting. This time, he painted a completely original spiritual realm painting without any life existence or historical traces. The painting showed a spiritual crystal mine that could continuously produce spiritual crystals.

  Such a spiritual painting is much more valuable than the heart of the mind-eating demon.

  In fact, if Marquis Alonso were still alive, he would not have repaid this favor so early.

  Because among the nobles he came into contact with, Marquis Alonso left a very good impression on him.

  It's just that Marquis Alonso is dead, and I've had little contact with the rest of the Alonso family. There's no point in continuing to owe this favor, so it's better to pay it off cleanly and be debt-free.

  Half a month later, Rosen delivered the spiritual realm paintings to the Alonso family.

  Although he worked hard for five months under the five-fold time acceleration, Rosen also gained two points of creative power.

  He now has 4 points of creative power and can create four real lives.

  For the painter sequence, the creative power accumulated through hard work is the most precious wealth.

  Rosen had finished dealing with all the trivial matters in the Principality of Blazing Shadow, and he began to frantically complete bounty missions in the Hunter's Guild.

  The vast majority of human beings are extraordinary and can abide by the laws of the world government and various countries.

  Even though it was the Chiying family, whom he disliked, at least they would not dare to act recklessly in public.

  However, some extraordinary people arbitrarily break the obvious rules, and even contact members of cults planted by alien gods in the human world in order to improve their strength, and then massacre ordinary people to create terrorist incidents.

  As for these wanted extraordinary people, Rosen doesn't mind turning them into nutrients for the Death Sentence.

  As a result, in the end, he cleared all the bounties on the evil cultists of the Principality of Chiying.

  Of course, Rosen did not accept the mission with his true face, as he did not want to be entangled by the Church of the Evil God of the Principality of Chiying.

  Rosen enjoyed killing more and more, and the power of Death Judgment became stronger and stronger.

  On this day, he was painting a portrait according to the wanted poster, and suddenly he stopped to sense his own divine territory.

  Just now, an early warning came from the Divine Territory.

  [Divine Territory: Sequence 6]

  [Territory area: 7,800 meters in radius] [Lord's power: Bloodline glory, profound knowledge, bloodline awakening, ruler]

  [Territory characteristics: Lord of the Divine Realm, Secret Treasure of Glory, Copy of the Divine Realm, Source of Life, Sequence Seed, Fate Perception]

  [Territory Buildings: Sequence 9 Divine Scavenging Space, Sequence 7 Divine Beast Stable, Sequence 7 Brilliant Lighthouse, Sequence 7 Ash Castle, Sequence 7 Slime Nest, Sequence 8 Ash Hive, Sequence 7 Demon Nest, Sequence 5 Time Tower, Sequence 9 Extraordinary Houses 1060]

  [Subordinate Spirit Realm: Ironwood Town]

  [Citizens: 36921]

  [Territory troops: Slime, Ash Bee, Crypt Demon, etc.]

  Today, his divine territory is no longer what it used to be.

  Not only are there 10,000 subjects converted from the Hunter x Hunter world, but there are also more than a thousand people from Ironwood Town and quite a few cat people, plus the population that migrated from Count Fritz and Ford's divine territories. There are now nearly 40,000 subjects.

  Many years ago, Rosen knew that the divine territory would also face danger in the spiritual world.

  Because the world government has set the rules, all divine territories have to face the endless invasion of spiritual life.

  This is not only a test for the Lord of the Divine Realm to eliminate the waste, but also a way to provide resources to the Lord of the Divine Realm, and finally to reduce the spiritual life on the surface of the spiritual world.

  However, over the years, his divine territory has remained as stable as a rock and has not encountered any threats from spiritual life.

  Based on his interactions with other nobles, he discovered that this was because he grew up too fast.

  If the surface of the spirit world is compared to the night, the divine territory is compared to the lights in the night, and the spiritual life is compared to moths, then even if the moths find the lights and want to fly into the flames, a few moths actually dare not approach the divine territory.

  After all, spiritual beings are not real moths. Even those without intelligence have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm.

  So usually, moths will gradually gather together, and only when their number reaches a certain level will they fly into the fire.

  As a result, his divine territory grew too fast, directly causing it to exceed the speed at which the moths gathered.

  His cultivation level also improved rapidly. After he finally managed to gather the Sequence 7 moths into a ball, he ended up being a Sequence 6.

  Moreover, he often ran around, and the divine territory also ran around with him, so that some moths finally gathered together, but before they could attack his divine territory as a group, they could no longer find his divine territory.

  This time he stayed in the Blazing King City for too long, so the Divine Realm finally waited for the long-awaited invasion.

  Rosen disappeared from the hotel room and came to the divine territory and climbed the spiritual world watchtower.

  Through the destiny perception of the territory, he has predicted that more than ten thousand spiritual beings will attack in two days.

  Most of them are Sequence 9, there are thousands of Sequence 8, hundreds of Sequence 7, and more than ten Sequence 6.

  This number of spiritual beings is definitely excessive for a Sequence 6 divine territory.

  Rosen couldn't help but wonder if this was the consequence of his divine territory constantly avoiding war.

  Otherwise, if every divine territory runs around with its own divine territory, the rules set by the world government will become a joke.

  Although the number is a bit excessive, other lords of the divine realm can only ask for help.

  However, Rosen was absolutely sure that he could destroy all these spiritual lives in his divine territory.

  Although his divine domain has a radius of 7,800 meters, only the core mountains within a radius of 3,000 meters are inhabited by the people. The rest of the area is inhabited by hundreds of Sequence 7 slimes and hundreds of Sequence 7 subterranean demons.

  All slimes live at the foot of the mountain, and all the remaining space is filled with traps set by the crypt demons.

  With just these traps, none of the spiritual beings below Sequence 7 would be able to survive.

  For the next two days, the entire Divine Realm territory was fully prepared for war.

  That night, the light of the glorious lighthouse suddenly penetrated the space barrier at the edge of the territory.

  Within a radius of several miles, spiritual life was gathering from all directions.

  These spiritual beings are divided into five parts: to the east is a group of goblins, to the south is a group of minotaur orcs, to the west is a group of gray rat people, to the north is a variety of miscellaneous spiritual beings, and finally, a group of ghost-faced bats hovering over the divine territory.

  Almost all of these spiritual beings were creatures that had once lived on the land of the Principality of Chiying.

  After being exterminated by humans in reality, the remaining spirits were reborn in the spiritual world.

  Therefore, these spiritual beings are filled with absolute hatred towards humans.

  The brilliance of the glorious lighthouse stimulated these spiritual beings, and they rushed towards the divine territory from five directions at the same time.

  The first to approach the space barrier were the ghost-faced bats. The intelligence of this extraordinary life form was once similar to that of a ten-year-old child. After becoming a spiritual life form, its intelligence would not exceed that of a three-year-old child. Only a very small number of individuals would awaken to a higher intelligence.

  This group of ghost-faced bats obviously had a highly intelligent individual in command, so they actually dispersed to attack the space barrier.

  Moreover, although the attack seemed fierce, it was actually restrained, clearly waiting for the spiritual life on the surface to come forward and attract firepower.

  If it were any other lord of the divine realm, they would have definitely used the same strategy to deal with the ground attack first.

  After all, the commanders behind the five spiritual worlds are not united, which gives the divine territory an opportunity to defeat them one by one.

  However, Rosen did the opposite and directly ordered to prioritize hunting down ghost-faced bats.

  Because he was a little disappointed, in his opinion, the spiritual life that attacked this time was not strong enough.

  If the difficulty is not increased, it will not play a role in training the extraordinary in the territory.

  The nine Sequence 8 wizard towers at the foot of the mountain almost simultaneously released large-scale war magic into the sky.

  These wizard towers were all snatched from Count Fritz and Ford's divine domain. The owners of several wizard towers knew when to surrender to him, while the remaining few who did not knew how to behave had disappeared. The wizard towers were distributed to the first few wizards who reached Sequence 8 among the subjects.

  At this time, the nine sequence 8 wizard towers were enough to block thousands of ghost-faced bats head-on.

  But in fact, only half of it was blocked. The remaining half was stimulated and exploded with ferocity. Regardless of the command of the ghost-faced bat leader behind them, they directly rushed through the space barrier and killed towards the mountains in the center of the territory that were full of human breath.

  At this time, there were more than a thousand human extraordinary people in the territory, and each of them looked up at the ghost-faced bat like a wolf or a tiger.

  Knights rode their mounts into the air, hunters began shooting into the sky, and wizards without wizard towers also cast spells into the sky. Everyone knew that the more they killed, the more rewards they would get after the battle.

  Seeing the ghost-faced bats being strangled one after another, Rosen immediately ordered the Storm Thunderbird to take off.

  The two Sequence 6 ghost-faced bat leaders cannot be dealt with by relying on the few Sequence 7s in the territory.

  The situation in the sky stabilized, and the fighting around the territory began.

  The knights who had no air mounts in the territory, as well as the assassins, and the catmen who had changed their job to the shadow cat sequence, all passed through the trap area under the blessing of the doctor's state and fought with various spiritual creatures.

  Rosen did not send any help this time, because those who had entered the Divine Realm were all Sequence 9.

  The intelligent Sequence 6 commanders behind the invaders seemed to be planning to use cannon fodder to wage a war of attrition.

  The facts have indeed proved that wars of attrition are very disadvantageous to human transcendence.

  This is because ordinary extraordinary people do not have a gluttonous stomach to quickly restore their spirituality. The longer the fierce battle lasts, the greater the consumption of their own spiritual energy. Especially since the invading spiritual beings are fearless of death, and human extraordinary people will definitely focus on self-preservation and secondary on killing unless they are forced into a desperate situation.

  This forces the human transcendents participating in the war to expend more spiritual energy to use defensive skills to protect themselves.

  As time went by, thousands of Sequence 9 spiritual beings all fell at the edge of the territory.

  However, among the thousands of human transcendents, more than ten were killed or wounded, and all the remaining Sequence 9s had almost exhausted their spiritual power.

  This is even with the help of a doctor sequence to rescue and recover, and with the assistance of various recovery potions.

  As long as there is war, casualties are inevitable.

  Because no one knows whether they will be unlucky enough to be targeted by dozens of spiritual beings.

  In this situation, not to mention a Sequence 9 of the same level, even a Sequence 8 could be killed by the concentrated fire damage of a Sequence 9.

  However, this battle still showed many shortcomings. The knights' reinforcements were not timely enough, the assassins killed too hard and too deep, the doctors' rescue speed was not fast enough and not accurate enough, and the wizards' spells sometimes even hurt their own people by mistake.

  In order to cultivate extraordinary talents among his subjects, Rosen often sent them into the virtual spiritual realm for practical training.

  So they have experienced battles of various scales, and based on their combat experience alone, they should not have made such a mistake.

  But now it seems that the training is still not enough.

  During training, we all know that we will not die, but when it comes to a real life-and-death combat, we become timid.

  However, this is a common problem for all novices. I believe they will become mature soldiers after experiencing a few more major battles.

  There are thousands of extraordinary beings in the territory, but no more than a hundred of them have the potential to exceed Sequence 7.

  This was carefully selected by Rosen from the tens of millions of people in Shafik State in the Hunter x Hunter spiritual realm. Only those who have the opportunity to surpass Sequence 7 are qualified to grow relatively freely, and the final fate of the rest is to become professional soldiers.

  The cannon fodder has been used up, and the elite spiritual beings from all sides begin to appear.

  Leading the way were still Sequence 9, but these Sequence 9 were all elites of the same level, and there were Sequence 8 and Sequence 7 hidden among them. Except for a few hundred ghost-faced bats overhead, there were thousands of elites in the remaining four directions, charging towards the Divine Domain territory.

  "All Sequence 9s and 8s retreat to the mountain. Sequence 7s are free to move."

  Rosen's voice appeared in the extraordinary consciousness of all the citizens.

  This is the power brought by the ruler's military authority, which can easily connect the spiritual command of all the subjects to fight.

  This is not the entire power of military power. It can play a greater role after being enthroned as a hero.

  Many of the citizens who received the order retreated to the mountain in an orderly manner, leaving only a very small number of Sequence 7 still fighting on the front line.

  At this time, those Sequence 7 slimes and crypt demons began to move forward and disperse to the trap area.

  The fastest gray rat people rushed to the west, driving hundreds of thousands of rats the size of wolfhounds to spread out around the entire territory and rush into the trap.

  The outermost fire traps were activated at the same time, turning the outermost part of the entire territory into a sea of ​​fire.

  The smell of roasted meat and burning fur, as well as the charred corpses of those who were madly rushing towards the castle with their bodies set on fire and died on the way, made the throats of many of the subjects who lived on the mountain and were secretly observing from the bottom of the mountain itch.

  Hundreds of thousands of rats fell into the second circle of traps, and were pierced one by one and hung in the radius, constantly burning.

  At this time, the spiritual life forms in the four directions around the territory all gathered at the location of the Minotaur. It was obvious that the power displayed by the territory exceeded the expectations of the commander behind the spiritual life forms, so they changed from dividing the troops to encircle and concentrate on breakthrough.

  Rosen also transferred the slimes and crypt demons from other directions, preparing to defeat these invaders head-on.

  　PS: I wish all college entrance examination candidates good luck in the next few days!
