Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 1000: Card Collection Craze

Glenda and Benny were a little surprised, while Wu Heng and Xiao Xiao both widened their eyes.

The mythological stories on both sides actually overlapped at this moment, and it was the oldest Nuwa era.

Xiaoxiao looked over and said, "Uncle, why did Nuwa repair the sky? How come you don't remember it?"

"You don't know what to follow 'wow'."

"Just to set the mood!"

Wu Heng explained: "In our story, the water god and the fire god fought each other, and then they crashed into Mount Buzhou, causing a big hole in the sky. Many natural and man-made disasters occurred, and Nuwa couldn't bear the suffering of the world, so she gathered all the five-colored stones to repair the big hole in the sky."

"Oh!" Xiao Xiao concluded, "In fact, collecting the five-colored stones is to block the passage from the other world."

Then, he crossed his arms and pretended to think, "I know, it's the one where God closes and opens the window!"

"What?" Wu Heng was stunned.

Glenda said, "It's from the Bible, but it's not quite appropriate here."

The empress's illusory fox tail swayed slightly, "For our time, this is also a myth, but there are indeed records that Nuwa used the remaining materials from repairing the sky to seal the passage between the two worlds in order to prevent the invasion of foreign gods."

Outer God!

A battle of faith between gods.

The history recorded by the elves flashed through Wu Heng’s mind.

Thousands of years ago, there were many sects in the alien world and wars were constant. Later, the Holy See rose up, defeated gods and destroyed religions, leading to the current situation.

If Nuwa was the real main god, she didn't want the world's faith to be divided, so she blocked the passage and hid it.

That does make sense.

What God wants is faith. If there are too many sects, faith will be too fragmented.

"Is Nuwa from the Holy See?" Wu Heng asked subconsciously.

"How is that possible!" The Queen sneered, "I have never heard of this small sect when I was alive. Nuwa can even repair the sky, how can she be the god of that small sect?"

"So... uncle's key has nothing to do with Nuwa?" Xiaoxiao tilted her head, obviously confused.

"Let's check it slowly later!" Wu Heng said with a smile.

The specific origin of the key is actually not that important.

If there are clues, I would be willing to listen to the story. If there are no clues, I will not spend a lot of time and manpower to track down clues like Hongwenhui did.

Just like Glenda said, his energy is still focused on collecting beliefs, and listening to stories is just a side job.

One person and several souls chatted for a while in the 'ancestral temple'.

The queen said all she could say, glanced out the window, and said, "Wait a moment, I'll talk to the tribesmen and come find you then."

He paused for a moment before continuing, "We need to teach our people some cultivation methods. They are too weak."

Wu Heng nodded and led the remaining ghosts out of the ancestral temple.

Following the fox man who led the way, they returned to the arranged wooden house.

……

The dwarves, the city of La Ciotat.

The noon bell echoed over the city, and a long queue had already formed in front of the Snake Emblem Group store.

Ever since Treasure Island’s best-selling products started being sold two days ago, this place has become the busiest place in the city.

Pens, bicycles, watches, and even those easy-to-carry pills, each one has sparked a buying frenzy.

"Another blue card!" A dwarf in faded leather armor jumped up and down in anger, his braids trembling. "I already have three of these Smoke Demons."

"You can exchange with others." The dwarf in the apron next to him also took out his card, and then said with some anticipation, "If I can draw the golden 'Viola', that'll be 20 gold coins."

20 gold coins!
For killing a level 18 professional, the association would only give 20 to silver coins and gold coins.

It is enough for an ordinary family to directly cross a class and become what people call a master.

What everyone was discussing was the card collection activity launched by Treasure Island.

There are seven blue cards, three purple cards and one gold card in total.

Each one is the witch 'Viola' in different periods and forms.

The blue cards include the thrilling moment when a child grabbed the smoke demon in the fire, the youthful appearance of a young girl in casual clothes, the mercenary leather armor, the hooded killer and other images.

Purple cards appear even more heroic, surrounded by mist beasts or in combat stances stepping on enemy corpses.

As for the gold card.

No one has seen it yet, only the rules state that collecting all the cards, including the gold cards, can be exchanged for 20 gold coins.

As for the rest of the exchanges, the prices are quite ordinary and not very attractive.

But it must be said that this method created a lot of excitement in the city. Everyone was talking about Viola and gathering together to exchange cards.

"Maybe there is no gold card at all!"

"Treasure Island, the name sounds like it would mean that there is such a small amount of money. How could there be no money?"

“Was this Viola a wanted criminal of the association before?”

"It's written on the purple card for protecting the religion that he was planted by the leader of the association. He has cooperated with the association to wipe out several sects."

"No wonder!"

Amid the discussions, Viola's image was deeply imprinted in everyone's memory along with each card.

……

Treasure Island, training room.

The gray mist magic around the witch Viola surged like a wave, accurately bombarding the target in the distance.

Suddenly he stopped moving, and a long-lost warmth rose from his body!

This is…….

She could clearly feel that the use of magic in her mind became clearer, and her physical condition was also improving with the warm current.

I already thought of something in my mind.

He took out the test crystal from the space ring, his fingers trembling slightly.

Concentrating his mind to communicate, the light of the crystal stone lit up layer by layer. When it reached level 18, it paused slightly, and the next second, it jumped directly to level 19.

Viola's pupils suddenly contracted.

"I really..., made a breakthrough?"

Ecstasy rushed through my body like an electric current.

The shackles of level that had prevented me from making any progress for several years were broken within a few days after I joined Treasure Island.

Wu Heng’s method is indeed effective!
Following this trend, the heroic level is just around the corner!
"I will definitely be a hero!" Viola clenched the crystal, her words full of excitement and enthusiasm.

At this time, there was a sound of laughter coming from outside the door.

Minnie, Robey, and Philippa came in laughing and holding snacks.

"Sister Viola!" Robe waved his phone excitedly, "We saw your gold card!"

Viola immediately came over. The card collecting craze on the island these days forced her to wear a hood when going out.

Although not as embarrassing as the wanted poster, she still felt a little uncomfortable with this sudden 'celebrity treatment'.

On the phone screen, a gorgeous gold card photo shone brightly.

[Smoke Queen-Viola]

On the card, she wears a dark purple crown and a robe with cloud patterns, and sits lazily on the throne.

Gray smoke swirled around his fingertips, and his eyes were contemptuous and majestic, as if he was looking down on all living beings.

"This...is me?" Viola was speechless for a moment.

Minnie came over with a smile and said, "Sister, you are the God of Wealth on the island now. Everyone wants to get the gold card and exchange it for gold coins!" "It's just a means of promoting your reputation. What's the use of being a God of Wealth?" Viola said softly.

Then walked to the training ground.

Seeing how hardworking the other party was, the others also changed into training clothes and started training.

……

Fox Village.

Wu Heng and Xiao Xiao were discussing the mythological story they had just heard.

"The tribe has started packing their bags." The empress floated into the house, "They have decided to go to Treasure Island with us."

Xiaoxiao came over and asked, "Aunt, how did you convince them?"

"They proposed it themselves. If we kill that protector of the religion, we will suffer sooner or later if we stay. The chief here is level 15. He is good at defending the village, but he cannot fight against that sect." The queen said softly.

In other words, the fox people were worried about retaliation from the Twelve Holy Churches and chose to leave with him.

A hero, and a former fox girl.

As long as you are not stupid, you will hold on to this thigh.

"Okay, let them gather in the square, and then we'll go back together." Wu Heng also agreed.

The queen smiled and looked outside the village. The fox people were busy packing their belongings, and the children were running around busy.

Thousands of years have passed, and it is not too late to protect my people.

It's approaching dusk.

The center of the square was filled with Sky Fox people, young and old, men, women, and children.

The Sky Foxes were different from the normal Foxmen in that they had a different number of tails, and could more intuitively identify each other's levels.

Seeing Wu Heng coming out, the village chief of the Sky Fox tribe quickly came out to greet him with a respectful attitude, "Master Chief, Lady Fox, all the villagers are here."

Wu Heng took a rough look and saw that there were only about 300 people in total, which was the normal size of a small village.

He casually opened the [Mansion Technique] and said, "Take the villagers in first. When we get there, I'll let you out."

As he spoke, things began to change within the mansion.

The space for the electromagnetic gun was separated, and rows of single beds appeared on the wide field.

The village chief looked at the space that suddenly opened up, his eyes somewhat hesitant and worried.

The empress said at the side: "This is a space spell. Are you really going to let everyone go through? Let the tribe members go in. Don't act like you have never seen anything before."

The fox girl began to admonish, the clan leader shrank his neck, and then called everyone to enter the "Mansion Technique".

Before the clan leader went in, Wu Heng asked, "Are there enough food and water? Probably about 10 days."

"Enough. We have brought all the food in the village." replied the village chief.

"Go in, I'll let you know when we get there." Wu Heng said.

The village chief continued to look at the empress, and after she nodded, he walked into the mansion.

Wu Heng closed the mansion technique, allowed the ghost to come back, put on the [conductor's hat], boarded the train and disappeared.

……

Headquarters, leader's meeting room.

The new religious leader sat calmly at the table with a solemn attitude.

Hadarai spread out some beautiful cards on the table, on which the witch Viola could be seen.

"You should have seen the cards distributed by Treasure Island. The effect is surprisingly good."

The dwarf leader stroked his beard and said, "I have also received news. The rest of the regions are being sold by the Snake Emblem Consortium, and the card collection craze is even greater than that of the headquarters."

The leader of the Hongwen Society also said: "This marketing method is indeed brilliant. At this rate, the witch will soon be able to reach the heroic level."

Unlike other regional card collectors, everyone at this headquarters saw through Treasure Island's intentions.

Collect cards to accumulate fame for the witch.

Moreover, this method is very clever. It is different from the association's previous blunt propaganda. By collecting cards and attaching stories, the experience from encountering a fire in childhood to becoming a witch of the Divine Punishment Church are cleverly woven into a fascinating story.

Even if they cannot be exchanged for money, the fineness of the cards and their growth stories are enough for some people to consider them as collectibles.

Therefore, everyone believed that it would not be long before this witch would become a new hero.

Lilith said: "It seems that Wu Heng is in a hurry to withdraw the wanted order just to pave the way for this move."

A business-like tone.

Regardless of the relationship between the two, the one sitting here is the leader of the association.

Hadarai changed the subject and said, "I wonder if the association can also use this method to enhance the reputation of the elders? The previous publicity is a bit outdated. Shouldn't we also make some changes?"

"Difficult!" The leader of the Hongwen Society shook his head. "The quality of this card is very high. It doesn't look like it was hand-painted. If it uses array patterns, the cost is too high and it can't be popularized, so it's difficult to copy it."

The dwarf leader suggested, "Let Wu Heng provide the technology? After all, he is a member of the association."

"He may not agree. Even if he proposes it, he will give priority to his own people." The leader of Hongwenhui replied.

Unlike other leaders, although Treasure Island is a member of the association, it is a system of its own.

The other leaders support the elders, which means they support their own people.

Anyone Wu Heng supports in the association may become his enemy in the future.

To a large extent, it will not be provided. Even if it is provided, it will be delayed until the number of heroes under your command reaches a certain level.

Hadarai looked at Lilith and said, "Talk to him. The association is willing to exchange merit for technology."

"I'll pass it on." Lilith nodded.

The topic turned to the religious leader, "How is Sayidu doing?"

"We have returned to the temple." The new religious leader said calmly, "We are also looking for a way to revive the body."

"Well, if you need any help, you can ask the association."

"Thank you, chief."

……

A village near the temple.

A complex magic array was drawn on the floor of the spacious room.

In the middle of the magic circle is a fist-sized, shriveled ball of flesh with a gray-brown surface and veins like blood vessels and blue veins.

"The ceremony begins!" a priest whispered.

The materials in the magic circle disintegrated and turned into energy balls that entangled and gathered in the air.

Then, the magic soul pot was opened, and the ghost looked at the priest. After the other nodded, it flew directly into the magic circle, merged with the energy light ball, and fell into the meat ball in the middle of the altar.

The color of the meat ball began to turn dark red, and the blood vessels began to move.

The priest lifted the ball of flesh and gently brought it close to the belly of a young pregnant woman nearby.

The next second, the two were tightly stuck together. The pregnant woman's skin lost its luster at a speed visible to the naked eye. Fine freckles crawled on her cheeks like mold, as if her vitality was being madly sucked away.

However, her eyes were still pious, and her hands were tightly gripping the edge of the iron bed, not making any sound so as not to disrupt the god's ritual.

The beating of the sarcoma gradually became steady, eventually achieving some strange synchronization with the fetus in the womb.

"Master Priest, did it succeed?" The pregnant woman spoke weakly, her voice trembling but full of anticipation.

The priest withdrew his hand. The cuffs of his white robe were not stained with a speck of dust. He nodded slightly and said, "It went well. Go back and have a good rest."

The pregnant woman slowly stood up and walked out of the room with the help of two priests.

Get on the carriage and return to the arranged mansion.
