mysterious forerunner

Chapter 414 True God's Power
The most suitable place to be promoted to a [True God] is, of course, in the [Secret Realm].

Not only is there an infinite amount of mysterious energy here, but one can also sense and capture various powers at the closest distance.

But at the same time, when advancing in the [Secret Realm], one also has to face the challenges of chaos and mutation.

Therefore, in his previous life, Zhang Qingxiang knew clearly that there were only a handful of people who were brave enough to go to the [Secret Realm] to advance, and the only one who succeeded among them was Guan Xuanbai.

Zhang Qingxiang has been preparing for his promotion ceremony these days, but now there is a problem, he dare not go to the [Secret Realm].

He was not afraid of the chaotic and evil invasion of the [Secret Realm] during his promotion, but he was worried that Ruxiangulituo had not given up looking for him.

What if this irritable elephant master attacks me during the promotion process?

But if he were to advance in the Earth world, it would be difficult to achieve the most perfect achievement, and Zhang Qingxiang was unwilling to accept this.

After thinking for a few days, Zhang Qingxiang suddenly had an idea: go to that person's territory to get promoted!

Zhang Qingxiang told Guan Xuanbai about his plan, and then said, "You don't need to protect me now."

Guan Xuanbai was puzzled: "Why do you have to do this?"

Zhang Qingxiang then explained in detail why he wanted to go to the [Secret Realm] to advance, and why he chose to advance in... the territory of the Lord of Laziness.

There was a fascinated light flashing in Guan Xuanbai's eyes.

He did not admire Zhang Qingxiang, but was looking forward to his own future entry into the [Secret Realm] and becoming a [True God] in front of countless monsters!
We must achieve perfect results like Director Zhang.

If I don’t reach the peak, I’m not Guan Xuanbai!

"Okay." Guan Xuanbai said, "Since you can't use me, I'll go to North America first."

Zhang Qingxiang threw the [Steam Engine Core] to him and said, "Let this guy take you there. He's familiar with the route. I'll tell the person over there to make the arrangements."

Zhang Qingxiang originally protected Nie Luotong very strictly, and no one knew Nie Luotong's identity except himself.

This is out of responsibility for Nie Luotong's safety.

But now it’s different. Zhang Qingxiang no longer needs to worry about North America.

If Nie Luotong was really exposed, Zhang Qingxiang had the ability to kill her instantly and rescue her unreasonably.

As for completely breaking off relations with North America... Zhang Qingxiang is already prepared. After being promoted to [True God], he will take the initiative to break off relations.

Guan Xuanbai had already sensed that the [Steam Engine Core] was different from before, and he curiously circled around this secret object for a few times. When he was about to ask something with shining eyes, the [Steam Engine Core] had already impatiently spewed out a few streams of hot steam, and then with a loud bang, it transformed into a steam aircraft, and from the cabin, it laid out an exquisite and bright metal staircase that reached Guan Xuanbai's feet.

Guan Xuanbai was very satisfied: It felt like rolling out the red carpet to welcome VIP guests.

I have to say that [Steam Engine Core] knows how to flatter.

Guan Xuanbai is a guy who doesn't respond to soft or hard tactics most of the time, but there are times when he responds to soft tactics instead of hard tactics.

If you give him enough respect...or let him pretend, he will get along well with you.

[Steam Engine Core] was very arrogant when he treated Giulio and others in the trial field, and when he treated Gulzasuri and others in the Ognia world. However, [Steam Engine Core] was very clear about the relationship between the master and Guan Xuanbai and He Xu.

I also know that Guan Xuanbai has a bright future.

So he turned into a bootlicker and gave the best treatment!

Guan Xuanbai didn't ask any more questions and strode into the cabin with his head held high.

After he sat down, the five-point safety belt was automatically fastened, and then the hatch closed, and the [Steam Engine Core] took off into the air.

Zhang Qingxiang waved goodbye.

The reason why he chose to be promoted in the territory of the Lord of Laziness is because this person's power is too strong. He himself is lazy, and any elephant lord who enters his territory will be affected and become lazy.

Any elephant master has the ability to overcome this influence and continue to achieve his goals.

After all, this "lazy" power is not a compulsory ability, it just exerts an influence.

But even so, no elephant lord is willing to enter the territory of the Lord of Laziness, because this influence will cause them to make various mistakes.

Forgetting this, losing that, and these mistakes can easily be exploited by others and then become a fatal mistake!

Zhang Qingxiang believed that even if Ruxian Gulito was searching for him throughout the [Secret Realm], she would not be likely to venture into the territory of the [Lord of Laziness].

He would not even search the territory of the Lord of Laziness.

Ruxiangulitu's method of searching for the [Secret Realm] can only be discussed with other elephant lords. It is impossible for her to directly charge into the opponent's territory, as that would be tantamount to declaring a war.

And if she went to discuss with the Lord of Laziness... the Lord of Laziness would definitely not bother to pay attention to her.

Zhang Qingxiang released the [Ferry] from Base 184 and headed carefully towards the territory of the [Lord of Laziness].

Zhang Qingxiang had just set foot in the territory of the Lord of Laziness and had not even reached His [Observational World] when he had a feeling: I was too lazy to walk anymore and decided to just stay here.

Zhang Qingxiang forced himself to keep moving forward, passing through one territory world after another. As he got closer to the observation world of the Lord of Laziness, all kinds of lazy thoughts kept popping up, and he needed great willpower to restrain them.

Finally, before Zhang Qingxiang was about to arrive at the observation world of the Lord of Laziness, he felt a hint of Ruxian Gulituo's aura!
Zhang Qingxiang was too lazy to even react!
Then he was shocked by his own attitude - fortunately, Ruxiangulitu was obviously also affected by the power of the Lord of Laziness. Although he came to him, he was too lazy to take further revenge.

The two archenemies, separated by about three worlds, glanced lazily at each other...

After all, Zhang Qingxiang had made preparations in advance. He was the first to wake up and quickly entered the observation world of the Lord of Laziness.

As soon as Zhang Qingxiang came in, he was discovered by the Lord of Laziness.

If other elephant masters discovered that a [Third Level Domination Realm] had intruded into their own world of observation, they would immediately rush over with great momentum and kill the challenger in no time.

But the Lord of Laziness was just a thought, which fluctuated slowly and then became silent.

Zhang Qingxiang was affected to the extreme by the power of "laziness". He was really lazy and didn't want to do anything. He just thought it was good to stay like this.

After seven or eight hours, Zhang Qingxiang was finally able to resist this influence and slowly took out the [True Mystical Treasure] to prepare for the fusion.

……

Guan Xuanbai arrived in North America on the [Steam Engine Core].

After several upgrades, the [Steam Engine Core] can no longer be detected by any radar in the world.

In addition to the mysterious factors, the [Steam Engine Core] also secretly stole some of the Ognyan technology to transform itself.

Nie Luotong received the news from Director Zhang in advance, so she added Guan Xuanbai to the new round of "trialists" list.

After being teased by Zhang Qingxiang, Ostosai became furious, and the trial participants suffered heavy casualties.

No matter how the human rebels explained to Ostosai, the elephant lord would not easily forgive them.

The [Trial Field] is becoming more and more dangerous.

At the beginning, these trial participants were still very ambitious.

After all, although the number of people who come back alive has greatly decreased, as long as they come back, their strength will improve by leaps and bounds.

But for seven or eight times in a row, the survival rate was below 10%, and those determined trial-takers were consumed by the other 90%!

The traitors didn't dare to go there again.

The trial spot that everyone had been vying for turned into a hot potato that no one was willing to accept.

The fact that there were not enough places for the trial-takers made Ostosai even more angry, and he forced the traitors to gather the required number of people for every trial.

The rapists were in great pain.

The mysterious agency, the Pentagon and the White House are three forces that push each other.

It ended up being...trying to trick some unsuspecting agents into participating in the trial.

At the beginning, they deceived some new members who had just joined the organization. Later, when there were not enough new members, they simply deceived the agents who were not members of the organization...

Leaked the secret of the trial ground?
It doesn’t matter. They probably won’t come back anyway.

So Nie Luotong stuffed Guan Xuanbai in, and no one cared at all. Using up a quota was a good thing.

This batch of trial-takers is really a mix of all kinds of people.

Guan Xuanbai didn't even use any secret items like [Illusionary Face] to disguise himself. He just stood among the trial-takers with his own face, black hair and black eyes, and no one questioned him.

Nie Luotong just made up an identity for him, and no one investigated further.

Guan Xuanbai is now at the third level of [Realm of Control].

After entering the [Trial Field], he ignored everyone else and left the group to act alone.

Among these idiots, there were some ambitious ones who were very angry about Guan Xuanbai's behavior and jumped out to point at Guan Xuanbai.

Guan Xuanbai handled the situation more simply and violently than Zhang Qingxiang—he killed them all with one sword.

"Waste." Guan Xuanbai said lightly and left.

The remaining idiots were stunned: We are teammates...

But no one dared to stand up and stop him.

As expected, this group of trial participants were completely wiped out.

Several guys who might be among the 10% survivors were killed by Zhang Qingxiang with one sword.

When the trial time was over, the staff of the underground base prepared to welcome the return of the trial participants, but found that no one came back.

Although Ostoses was furious, his anger had been vented during this period, so he would still control himself a little, and a few people would always survive each time.

This time the entire army was wiped out!

Nie Luotong was also panicked, and hurriedly contacted Director Zhang secretly to report the serious incident that Guan Xuanbai had died in the [Trial Field].

But Zhang Qingxiang was still in the perspective world of the Lord of Laziness and could not be contacted at all.

Nie Luotong was worried because Guan Xuanbai had no intention of leaving the [Trial Field].

I must make it into the inner circle and advance to the [Domination Realm]. It would be best if I could hone my skills to the third level of the [Domination Realm] before I go out.

Guan Xuanbai is not an ignorant madman. He made sufficient preparations before coming.

The Guan family has a deep foundation and gave him the greatest support.

Before Guan Xuanbai came in, he brought several powerful secret objects and a large amount of secret medicines.

This allowed Guan Xuanbai to persist in the [Trial Field].

A few days later, Guan Xuanbai fought his way from the outer ring to the middle ring and successfully advanced to the [Domination Realm].

Such a speed made him reluctant to leave so quickly. "He Xu is still at the [Command Realm] now. When I leave the [Trial Field], I will at least be at the [Domination Realm] Level 2. When I stand in front of He Xu, I will make him open his eyes and broaden his horizons!"

Whenever he thought of this, Guan Xuanbai became full of energy and the injuries on his body no longer hurt.

……

He Xu has been in the [Universal Academy], and this academy has inevitably been boycotted by North America and Europe.

This boycott went from being covert at the beginning to becoming blatant.

Even in Europe, several small countries have openly withdrawn from the academy at the instigation of North Americans.

The reason why the major countries in North America and Europe have not withdrawn yet is because they have discovered that... this academy can really cultivate talents!
He Xu is quite capable in this area, and has the support of the domestic and Russian governments. He has poured resources into it. In addition, with the large number of secret techniques provided by Zhang Qingxiang, high-level professionals continue to emerge in the academy.

The North Americans instructed those small countries to withdraw from the academy in order to negotiate with He Xu and gain more benefits within the academy.

But they withdrew, and He Xu still refused to give in.

Then North America and Europe discovered that the academy could really cultivate talents, and they were reluctant to withdraw.

Those small countries were dumbfounded and wanted to add them back, but He Xu refused without any hesitation.

The North Americans refused to give them any compensation. These small countries were angry but did not dare to turn against the North Americans.

This is another experience of the shamelessness of North Americans.

But it's too late to regret.

Before Zhang Qingxiang went to the territory of the Lord of Laziness, he also had a phone call with He Xu.

He Xu knew that Guan Xuanbai was going to the North American Trial Field.

He Xu also wanted to go, but was tied up in the academy.

He Xu calculated the time for Guan Xuanbai to arrive in North America, and kept an eye on it. He was a little nervous and wanted to see what level Guan Xuanbai could reach after coming out of the [Trial Field].

But there was still no news from Guan Xuanbai.

He Xu couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

His mood at this moment was really conflicted.

He didn't want anything to happen to Guan Xuanbai, but he also didn't want Guan Xuanbai to be too far ahead of him.

On this day, one of his associate professors led a team out for "practice" and returned two days later than normal.

The associate professor took twelve students out and came back with four less.

"Dean, that super-large scene is not right." After the associate professor came back, he immediately reported to He Xu: "It seems to be solidified in that small town. We even found an [Abyss] in it, which kept spewing out all kinds of weird things. We paid a huge price to escape."

The local government was too weak, and the local indigenous people had many ancient beliefs. In many places, the traditions of cannibalism and living sacrifices were still preserved.

I love the mystery of this kind of place, so there are too many mysterious scenes in the countries around the academy.

The trainees simply borrowed the system of the Chinese Secret Security Bureau. Professors, associate professors, and lecturers led "internship teams" of different strengths, and when they received a call for help, they would go out to help deal with it.

He Xu was indeed very suitable for this job. He first trained the faculty and staff in the college and turned them into qualified "captains".

The Secret Security Bureau has plenty of experience in this regard.

These "captains" will then teach the trainees in practice how to deal with various mysteries.

After several rounds, He Xu observed and analyzed which professors were suitable for continuing practice and which professors were suitable for returning to the college to conduct research.

Of course, professors can also apply themselves, everything is voluntary.

The associate professor in front of me was born in Bavaria, Europe.

Three months after entering the academy, he ignored all the so-called "instructions" from the country and followed He Xu with extraordinary determination!
He was originally just a lecturer, but under He Xu's guidance, his abilities improved by leaps and bounds, his team achieved outstanding results, and he was soon promoted to associate professor.

He was a pragmatist who had long seen through the mystery and the uselessness of the so-called "old order".

I will be a follower of whoever can help me improve my strength quickly, gain a higher social status and better income in the new era.

He Xu also frowned when he heard his report: "Super large scene transformed into a secret realm?"

This is the first time this has happened.

The associate professor also knew what a [Secret Realm] was. After thinking for a while, he said, "Not really. Each [Secret Realm] has a power limit. The monsters that can pass through the passage and enter our side are not too high in level. However, in this [Abyss], high-level monsters often rush out - I think you should go and see it for yourself."

He Xu nodded: "How are you, do you need a rest?"

"No need. I have already taken three secret medicines on the way back. I can set off immediately and serve as your guide."

A few hours later, He Xu and the associate professor entered this "super-large scene".

This place already has some basic elements of a [secret realm] and has gone beyond the scope of a "mysterious scene".

For example, this space can be entered and exited freely, unlike a mysterious scene where one can only return to the earth world after cracking the scene.

Soon He Xu arrived at this [abyss].

It was indeed very similar to the abyss in Western legends, a huge crack in the ground, with pitch-black darkness underneath and faint flashes of red or faint blue light, as if a flame of mysterious energy was burning.

When He Xu was looking down, a light and shadow appeared in the void above him, flickering and outlining a vague shape.

Then everything went dark, as if it was conducting reconnaissance to determine whether a sneak attack was possible.

Suddenly, the monster flashed out. It was a winged ghost several hundred meters tall with four heads!
It is very similar to the demon king in the ancient legend of a local tribe who will eat half of the world's human beings.

As soon as it appeared, it spread out its pitch-black ghost wings that were larger than its body, and covered He Xu below like a fishing net.

He Xu stared at the [abyss] below, excitement glittering in his eyes.

This is a treasure land!
He Xu raised his head, looked into the eyes of the eight winged ghosts, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

I was just worrying about being trapped in the academy and not being able to catch up with Guan Xuanbai in cultivation, when this [Abyss] appeared.

He Xu raised his hand, and lightning flashed all over the sky...

Winged Ghost is at the third level of the [Realm of Domination], which is just right for him to hone himself.

He Xu already has a complete plan, and this place will be the academy’s training base next!
I mobilized several powerful professors to sit with me. The students came in batches, using the collective strength to resist these monsters that kept popping up with me. In this process, my realm can be rapidly improved!
This [Abyss] is indeed not a secret place.

He Xu judged that this was a special overlapping point between the [Secret World] and the Earth World.

He Xu remembered that Zhang Qingxiang had told him that the [Secret Realm] would overlap with the Earth sooner or later.

As the [Secret World] gets closer and closer to the Earth, some situations that cannot be explained by common sense may occur.

For example, this early overlap point.

He Xu still remembered that the last time Zhang Qingxiang talked to him, he said: "You will definitely have your own opportunity."

Now, the opportunity has come.

Zhang Qingxiang said this to He Xu because he really didn't know what He Xu's opportunity was.

In the previous life, everyone's attention was on Guan Xuanbai, and Zhang Qingxiang knew everything about Guan Xuanbai.

But after He Xu fell behind at the level of [True God], little information about him circulated.

Zhang Qingxiang prepared the [True Secret Treasures] for He Xu - He Xu could choose any of the ones that Zhang Qingxiang himself didn't find suitable for him.

But He Xu has to rely on his own strength to advance to the third level of [Domination Realm].

In the [Trial Field], Guan Xuanbai worked day and night, constantly killing monsters and pushing his own strength to new peaks, feeling complacent in his heart: Old He will never be able to imagine how powerful I am now.

In the [Teaching and Research Base], He Xu led hundreds of professors, associate professors and students to form a strong team, and used magic arrays and large secret weapons to slay the powerful mysteries in the [Abyss]. He was secretly delighted in his heart: Xiaoguan certainly doesn't know that I am making rapid progress now!
In the world viewed by the Lord of Laziness, the ancient elephant lord had another thought.

This time the fluctuation was a little bit violent.

But that was all it could do. It couldn't even make the Lord of Laziness move.

Zhang Qingxiang also moved his body lazily, turned around and slowly left the observation world of the Lord of Laziness.

I was even too lazy to walk.

But he had no choice but to leave, as he had already been promoted to a [True God]. As the saying goes, “There can’t be two tigers in one mountain”, unless one is male and the other is female.

Now in this world, there are two "male tigers".

Even if they are two lazy tigers, if they do not leave, they will definitely fight with each other and one of them will be injured.

Zhang Qingxiang was not afraid of, nor did he avoid, fighting with the elephant lords in the [Secret Realm], but he was the only [True God] of mankind now, so there was no need for him to engage in a meaningless fight with an elephant lord like the [Lord of Laziness] who was less dangerous.

Zhang Qingxiang's powers are: "War" and "Rebirth".

The power of "War" comes from the [True Mystical Treasure], [Half Face of the Emperor], [No. 010] and [No. 074].

This is Zhang Qingxiang's main power, and it covers a wide range.

The power of "rebirth" comes from stealing Ruxiangulitu's power.

There is a connection between these two kinds of powers. Generally speaking, this is true for the powers of the Lord or the true God. There can be only one or several.

But if there are multiple powers, there must be one that is the main one and the others are related.

According to Zhang Qingxiang's memory from his previous life, in the entire [Secret Realm], there is no elephant lord who possesses several equally important and independent powers.

It feels like... the entire [Secret World] is a "polytheistic system" and there is no "Father God" who can unify all powers.

Or maybe... such a "Father God" has already perished and dispersed various powers.

When Zhang Qingxiang came out of the observation world of the Lord of Laziness, he sensed that outside the three worlds, Ruxian Gulituo had not left yet.

That was not the real Ruxiangulituo. It might be her thought floating outside her body, or some monster that was being controlled.

This way it would not be considered a provocation to the local elephant master, and the Lord of Laziness would not bother to care about her.

Ruxiangulitu was influenced by the power of the Lord of Laziness and was too lazy to walk.

But when Zhang Qingxiang came out, the two sides looked at each other again across three worlds.

Ruxiangulitu knew that she had no way to take revenge.

The other party has been promoted to a [True God] and has also taken away a part of his power!

When the two sides fight, even though Zhang Qingxiang has just been promoted, he will most likely have the upper hand!
