Old days in the box

Chapter 481: Begins to Recover the Disasters That Destroyed the World

"Yes, my lord." After receiving clear instructions, Yuan Wuyou lowered his head and accepted the order, then returned to his seat.

"Is there anything else worth adding?" Jiuri continued to ask.

"The army of Blood City is ready. We can charge out of the courtyard at any time and serve as the vanguard for your expedition."

Tyne said loudly that the Blood Emperor didn't seem to be interested in anything other than the excitement of fighting.

"I already know the will of the 'Mother Tree of Desire', but remember, her power can only be used in those hopeless worlds." Zhou Xiao answered steadily.

"My Lord, the star gate built based on the boundary elevator technology has been successfully completed. We have conducted several wide-area searches through the star gate and have basically locked down the lost locations of several people in the Midgard. Now we are waiting for your choice." Sharon took over the conversation.

"And my Lord, the mortals in the North Sea war zone also hope to express their wishes to you through me. They don't want to sit in the courtyard and wait for the results of other families. If you want to go out and bring back the people in the courtyard, they also hope to contribute their own strength."

At one time, all governors, including R'lyeh, expressed their strong desire to go on the expedition at the same time.

But it's no wonder they do that. When Zhou Xiao returned to Central Court, he had already said that reconstruction was the first necessary step. After that, Central Court's revenge would begin, and all its citizens would be gradually recovered.

Now that the reconstruction has been preliminarily completed, going on the expedition has become an option that everyone hopes for.

Just as Jiu Ri was preparing to announce his expedition plan, the star gate not far to the east suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and a vague figure returned to this world from it, flying rapidly along the sea surface towards the makeshift conference center.

Along with the strange light breaking through the wall, Loki, the god of trickery, also rushed to the meeting site and appeared in front of everyone.

"Loki, the god of trickery, holds the power: trickery (complete)."

"Divinity/Faith Level: 5/4."

"The messenger of the night in the old mythology symbolizes the mouth of the fool, whispering bewitching whispers in the ears of the world. In the old Norse mythology, he is considered to be the god of trickery and one of the culprits that caused the twilight of the gods. However, according to today's folk legends, this image is generally recognized to have originated from the old mythology."

"Hint: This target comes from your faith power exceeding 50% of the total, and is strongly bound to you."

“Subordinate God: Modify the other party’s cultural footnotes and incorporate them into the mythology system with you as the Supreme God. The target will share 50% of the total faith value obtained with you and will not be able to disobey the orders you have issued.”

"Click to see more information."

After all these years of wandering, Loki can be said to be completely renewed.

He put on a black and gold cloak, transformed into a three-faced god and fell into the center of the meeting, dragging behind him fragments of "truth" cut from countless realms.

If we calculate based on ten years in the atrium, he has been wandering in the outer realm for at least a hundred years.

In these worlds where the passage of time is different, He travels through civilizations large and small between the stars, and spares no effort to spread legends about the old days and fabricate ancient myths of the Outer Gods. In this process, as a fabricator and transmitter, He inevitably involves himself in these myths.

The last time Zhou Xiao opened his information panel, the introduction still described the history of the God of Trickery in Norse mythology.

But when we checked again ten years later, Loki's profile had become a "messenger" in ancient mythology, and he was considered to be the origin of many mythological images.

This means that his cultural footnote has begun to be revised, moving infinitely closer to the old mythology centered on Zhou Xiao.

The first subordinate god under the Old Ones, I didn’t expect His faith level to increase so quickly... It seems that as long as He is given some more time, it is not impossible for His faith level to reach level 5, Zhou Xiao thought.

The level of faith, like the level of divinity, generally uses 5/7 as a standard level boundary. Reaching level 5 or above is a medium level, and reaching level 7 or above is a high level.

If Loki's faith level officially reaches level 5, it means that he has initially possessed an independent and complete faith, which can develop independently without relying on the Old Ones, and even accommodate more additional symbols, or develop his own subordinate god system.

Of course, this is all in the past. It is not so easy to cultivate a true belief in a god, especially since Loki is an old god with physical authority.

"Loki, you're here." Zhou Xiao circled the God of Trickery into his voice channel and spoke.

"Great Old One, the message I received was delayed, causing me to be late. Did I miss something?" Loki saluted the sky. Due to the strong bond as a subordinate god, He now has a natural submission to the Old One.

"On the contrary, you have come at the right time. What I am going to tell you next is the plan of the expedition." The old voice fell buzzing.

"As I promised before, after rebuilding the Midgard, we will embark on a path of revenge and a path to recover all the lost people. This is the unswerving general policy of the Midgard's first millennium, and there is no doubt about it."

"But before that, I will not forget the oath I once made: this messenger of mine traveled far into the stars for me, and spent countless efforts to bring the old legends to the worlds. I will never betray my oath like the old gods did and discard him after using him."

"So the first destination of the expedition to Midgard will be where his two children are, as I will fulfill my promise to Loki."

The six governors present all listened quietly to the old divine guidance, and no one showed any obvious opposition.

In fact, Zhou Xiao knew clearly that the reason why these people were so eager to go on the expedition was because they wanted to find their lost people as soon as possible.

It goes without saying that Yuan Wuyou is worried about the people of the Jade Realm, Freya is worried about her own Deep Diver clan, Tyin is concerned about the other lost first-generation bloodlines, and as for the Mechanical Faction headed by Sharon, they want to find the other digital AIs as soon as possible, eager to regain control of the computing power of the entire quantum magic network.

Everyone has their own faction that they are most concerned about, and everyone wants to prioritize their own ideas, but this group of old people are randomly scattered in various corners of the Nine Realms in an extremely scattered manner.

If we just let them go their separate ways, it would be like dispersing the powerful force that had been finally united together, and it would not be so easy to unite them again.

Therefore, Zhou Xiao must calm them down and make them understand that the Atrium belongs to everyone. No matter how urgent the demands of a single faction are, individual selfishness can never be placed above the collective interest.
