List of strange talismans

Chapter 222 The Return of the Gods 4K
The moment Michus finished speaking.

Dusk was the first to speak: "Second."

Order followed: "Agreed."

There was no hope of speaking, and he nodded to express his attitude.

The gods were astonished.

No one expected that the proposal would be approved by the three strongest men at such an unexpected speed.

But soon, the gods reacted - the policy of shrinking their power and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack was probably formulated by the three gods.The so-called proposals are more just to go through the process.

Misius turned to look at the gods: "Do you have any objections?"

The gods looked at each other in silence.

After a while, a Holy Spirit took the lead and shouted "Agree".

For a moment, no matter what their inner thoughts were, all the gods present could only obey the general trend and agree.

Seeing this, Michus nodded slightly and raised his gavel.

"In the name of Titan, I respectfully ask the great original to bear witness."

"As of today, there will be a new clause in the Covenant of the Gods."

"The Holy Spirit born from the sea of ​​group consciousness shall not come to reality again unless necessary. Anyone who violates this oath will be the enemy of all gods."

Boom!

The gavel fell, and the glow spread all over.

In the dark, there is an invisible force that envelops the divinity of the gods and rises into the sky, penetrates layers of barriers, and reaches the sea of ​​group consciousness.

Gu Xiuya stared at the three gods, thoughts surging in his heart.

The era of gods descending to the mortal world at will will soon end in a hurry due to the pressure of foreign enemies.

The future will therefore take a completely new fork in the road and become unrecognizable.

Will there be another divine war between the gods who choose to seclude themselves in the country?
Has Primordial already learned of the betrayal of the Holy Spirit in Deep Space?

Is the purpose of Dusk and other powerful beings asking all gods to return to the sea of ​​collective consciousness really just to accumulate strength and avoid losses?
Who will be the final winner, God or Haoyue?
Everything becomes unknown.

As the covenant came into effect, the gods felt more or less depressed.

The nature of life is not to be restrained, and gods are no exception.

The Holy Spirit, who suddenly came and went freely from heaven to earth, became a fugitive living in a corner. The huge gap made the gods feel strongly uncomfortable.

The gods tried to communicate with each other to dilute the strange emotions in their hearts, and the scene was a little noisy for a while.

During this period, a god suddenly mentioned that the [God of Shuntian] violated the sacred covenant and killed the saints of the [Heavenly Father Sect].And asked the great Titan how to deal with defaulters.

Gu Xiuya's face remained calm, but he remembered the other party's priesthood in his heart.

【trading】.

The god of trade who does not belong to the White Star Kingdom.

Michus did not give a straightforward answer to the God of Trade's inquiry, but simply let the gods discuss and decide on their own.

Hefeis' old friend [the God of Source Water] came to Gu Xiuya's rescue.

"Forgive the recklessness of a new god. Seeing as he has just been promoted to god, he took the initiative to join the Council of All Gods."

"I believe that a new god who respects us so much would not intentionally flout the authority of the Council. He just made a mistake that all ignorant creatures make."

"Everyone, a new era has arrived, why should we cling to the mistakes of the old era?"

The God of Trade obviously had other opinions about this, but before He could speak, he was interrupted by another Holy Spirit.

"Omniscient has died, and the Father has not yet arrived. No one here wants to discuss the feelings of Semitic gods with you. Adri."

"I'm in a bad mood right now. You'd better stop wasting everyone's time."

The person who spoke was a strong giant with "fierce" written all over his face.

He even brought his artifact to the meeting - a giant guillotining sword with spiritual intelligence.

Adri's eyes swept over the opponent's giant sword that had killed the God of Trade and Exchange for generations. He hesitated for a moment, and finally gave up the idea of ​​arguing with a barbaric god about right and wrong.

In fact, none of the gods present had a very good impression of the Heavenly Father.Many Holy Spirits have suffered unreasonable disasters brought by the omniscient God before.

In addition, everyone's attention was on another matter at the moment. After a short discussion, the gods gave a rather perfunctory ruling.

- No forgiveness, no punishment.Everything is sent temporarily, waiting for Heavenly Father to deal with it himself.

He was able to fight, so everyone reluctantly helped Him to seek justice.

If you can't beat him, justice will be on the side of the New God.

……

Questions about trade didn't cause too much of a stir.

For Gu Xiuya, the crisis came to an end almost in a blur.

Soon, the gods' attention returned to what they cared about most.

In the following time, Michus began to answer the questions of the gods one by one.

The questions of the gods cover all aspects and include everything.

For example, the origin of the insect swarm, the nature of the new moon, and the arrangement of the counterattack plan.

And, after returning to the sea of ​​group consciousness, what kind of situation will be considered "necessary arrival" and so on.

To the first two questions, Michus’s answer is: I don’t know.

However, He also said that the Great Mystery has answered His prayer, and the answer will soon appear as the Mystery returns to the sea of ​​collective consciousness.

After hearing that even the great secrets had chosen to return to the sea of ​​group consciousness to temporarily avoid the limelight, the original dissatisfaction of the Holy Spirits suddenly became much less intense.

As for the counterattack plan, Michus said it is still under discussion.

Because the Three Gods of Twilight can only represent the gods present at the meeting, but they cannot represent the other deep space-level gods who were unable to attend the meeting due to various reasons.

Since the birth of the original god, the era of gods has lasted for thousands of years. The long time has created countless powerful people, even the deep space level gods number in double digits.

If you want to thoroughly implement the new terms of the Covenant of All Gods, you must obtain the support of these most powerful people.

Compromising the interests of all parties is a necessary process to achieve cooperation.

However, Misius also said that this period of time will not be too long. After all, the pressure brought by the insect swarm is intuitive and severe. Gathering forces to launch a counterattack is the only chance of winning. No matter how extreme the god is, he can figure out what to do at this time.

"As for the scope of the covenant that you are most concerned about, the Council of All Gods has no intention of interfering with your sovereignty of faith. For major events involving the survival of sects, the collapse of faith, etc., you can choose whether to come to reality."

"But I must remind you that before you find an effective way to resist the swarm of insects, the result of coming to reality is most likely to be death. The fall of the omniscient god is a lesson for you."

"In addition, anyone who comes to reality privately will be deemed to have actively violated the covenant. Those who violate the agreement will no longer be protected by the parliament and will not be allowed to return to the sea of ​​group consciousness... until the end of the war."

As soon as these words came out, all the gods present were shocked and angry!
"In other words, once we leave the sea of ​​group consciousness, we can't go back?!!"

"Why?!"

"The sea of ​​group consciousness is the home of the gods, and you have no right to interfere with our return!" "Methius! You would not have been allowed to act so wantonly in the first place!"

Michus looked calm: "In fact, this is exactly the original intention."

The gods were astonished.

"why?"

"impossible!"

"Nothing is impossible."

Michus said lightly: "Any god who comes to reality will inevitably come into contact with the insect swarm. Under such circumstances, no one can guarantee whether a second Kulkan will appear. Stay away, It is the most effective means of preventing a fortress from being breached from within.”

"This is original mercy. His purpose is to protect the majority of the Holy Spirit, and you should be grateful for that."

"What kind of kindness is this? When faith really collapses, if you don't come to reality, you will die! According to your rules, if reality comes then, you will die! It's death after all. It's better to go out and fight with those people now. Chongzhi fights!"

The Holy Spirit said angrily.

Misius glanced at him: "No one is stopping you from coming to reality, God of the Barbarians. The Council of the Gods just hopes that you can come in another way, a relatively safe way that does not involve the activities of the spiritual body. This It’s also for the safety of the gods.”

"A safe way? Are you referring to the kind of [divine apocalypse] that resides in emaciated flesh and blood, has almost [-] divine powers, and can only lie on mortal bodies to show off?"

The god of the barbarians laughed angrily and said sarcastically: "It seems that our benevolent His Majesty Michus intends to let everyone solve the problem of life and death with words?"

Michus said expressionlessly: "If you like to do this, that's fine. But you have a better choice."

"What choice?"

Before the Barbarian God spoke, other Holy Spirits couldn't help but ask.

This was the first time in thousands of years that the gods had to retreat to their base camp. Before this, all the Holy Spirits were accustomed to coming to reality in person to solve problems that mortals could not solve.

Except for a small number of Holy Spirits who are born with the authority of [Possession], [Incarnation], etc., the vast majority of Holy Spirits present have no other means of descending that can effectively exert their own strength.

Michus spoke calmly and explained.

"A few days ago, the Great Dusk donated a piece of secret knowledge from another world to the Council of All Gods free of charge. The knowledge contains a secret method of ideological descent."

"It is a method similar to the projection of dream consciousness, which allows the gods to transfer their consciousness to the believer's body and possess him. The only trouble is that to complete the possession and gain control of the body, you need to pass a consciousness strength test. But I think this shouldn’t be any difficulty for you, after all, the intensity of consciousness of mortals is inherently weaker than that of gods.”

"In such a state, the gods will maintain basic control over authority and can use the life and consciousness of believers to drive the power of authority to fight. Of course, compared to directly driving authority with the spiritual body, the strength of the power will definitely be slightly smaller. Not as good as that.”

"But...as long as all gods come to the world in this way, the differences will be equal, and all competitions that occur in the mortal world will be fair again."

"It needs to be explained that anyone who comes to the world with this secret method will be watched by the rotating members of the Council of All Gods. After you have dealt with the matters at hand, you can pray to the rotating deep space-level gods. He will directly interrupt This part of your consciousness is projected to dissipate from reality."

"This completely eliminates the possibility of being corrupted by the insect swarm."

After Misius finished speaking, the gods looked surprised one after another.

"Is there such a secret method? What's the price?"

"There is no need to pay any price. Anyone who supports the Council of Gods can obtain it for free."

"I'm asking about the cost of using it."

"The price is that it takes a period of deep sleep to restore the consciousness projection lost after the arrival."

"that's it?"

"that's it."

"Impossible! Such a price that is not worth mentioning completely violates the principle of equal exchange of power! I suspect there is something wrong with this thing!"

"Your suspicion has been personally verified by three deep space-level beings, and the result is that there is no problem."

"As for why it is so special, I think maybe it is because it belongs to a different world."

"Because it comes from another world, it doesn't need to strictly abide by our rules."

"How did Dusk Mian obtain such a secret technique? Did he discover a different world?"

"This is a secret belonging to Dusk, and I don't know about it either. However, it seems to be related to another Deep Sky-level Crown Prince."

……

Michus answered all the questions of the gods without hesitation.

After a conversation, those who were originally dissatisfied with the too harsh handling methods of the Council of Gods finally acquiesced to Michus's proposal.

What's more, they have begun to unequivocally support the Council of the Gods and actively request that the punishment for those who come to reality secretly be further increased.

Many Holy Spirits are puzzled by this and don't understand why these 'idiots' are causing trouble for themselves.

Only a few smart people, including Gu Xiuya, guessed the thoughts of these holy spirits.

As the only bystander present, Gu Xiuya's mood was a bit complicated at the moment.

He was sighing with emotion at the astonishing wisdom shown by Misius.

The mighty Titan was no fool's errand.On the contrary, He only used a few words to easily make all the Holy Spirits voluntarily become supporters of the resolution.

For this alone, He is worthy of His status as the presiding officer of the Council.

Gu Xiuya knew very well that the gods were not convinced by Misius.

They were just forced by Michus and forced to make the choice that was most beneficial to them.

——If you want to ensure your own safety, you must comply with the requirements of the parliament and not come to reality again.

However, if you comply with the requirements of the parliament, you can only descend into reality through secret methods. In this way, not only will everything you do be monitored, but your strength after descending will also be greatly reduced.

That's all.

The more critical point is that the relationship between the gods is not harmonious.There is no shortage of challengers on the road to faith.

Once the opponent is desperate and comes to reality with a spiritual body, the weak will probably defeat the strong due to the ebb and flow of one another.

When the time comes, the glory that once belonged to you will become a wedding dress for your competitors.

The gods are thus trapped in a classic prisoner's dilemma.

No one knows whether the opponent will take risks.

No one knows if there will be a lunatic who will come to reality with a spiritual body at all costs, just to subvert the rule of his own beliefs.

The best way to avoid capsizing in the gutter is to keep everyone in the same weakened state.

Just like Michus said.As long as everyone comes with the projection of consciousness, the gap will be equal and the competition will return to fairness.

Michus did not force the gods to make a choice, but the gods had to make the same choice for their own benefit.

Even more, the gods must spontaneously support the resolution of the parliament and spontaneously demand the most severe punishment.

Because only in this way will the gods have no choice but to abide by the covenant.The advantages accumulated by those in power over hundreds of years of hard work will not disappear.

This is a conspiracy, a conspiracy that even if it is seen through, you can only hold your nose and cooperate with it.

In a social system where "whoever has the biggest fist has the final say", the strong will definitely try their best to maintain their original advantages, and the rebuttals of some weak will be completely ignored.

At this point, the era of gods descending to the mortal world at will will come to an end due to extremely severe punishment.
