the next day.
More than 6,000 travelers gathered in front of the huge statue in the Main God's Square. They knelt on one knee, put one hand on their chest, and looked up at Zhuang Hong floating in mid-air.
Under the auspices of Yin Zizhong, the travelers' code was read in unison.
This gesture of the travelers was requested by Zhuang Hong, so that the intelligence of the statue could identify the objects to be baptized by the oath.
The uniform voices of thousands of travelers echoed between heaven and earth, which seemed majestic and shocking.
When the chanting sound sounded, the intelligent programs of the three elves implanted in the statue were awakened, and a faint purple light emitted outwards, making the entire statue wrapped in a ball of purple light, making it look so solemn and mysterious.
Immediately afterwards, the intelligent program locked onto the traveler kneeling on the square and began to perform the oath baptism technique.
A mark of flame appeared on the forehead of the statue, emitting a strong purple light and shining on the travelers below.
The seeds of the oath baptism are generated in large quantities, and as the strong light quietly blends into each traveler's body, it is deeply implanted in the brain.
As the Traveler's Code is read out, the integration gradually becomes perfect.
After the recitation of the code was completed, the light on the statue gradually dissipated, and finally calm returned.
At this time, the travelers who were kneeling on one knee felt a slight heat on the back of their left hand, and then there was a mark that was exactly the same as the forehead of the god.
Everyone was shocked.
"This is... the traveler's mark given by the gods, the flame mark!"
Inexplicably, a sense of satisfaction that was recognized by the gods arose spontaneously, and at the same time, there was also a strong sense of security.
Because having the mark of the gods means that from now on, they will be protected by the gods.
They couldn't help but look at the other travelers around them, and found that other travelers also had the same mark on the back of their hands, and suddenly felt that the people around them were so kind.
"From now on, we are true companions."
It was also at this time that a way to identify one's own people was born among travelers, that is, whether there is a flame mark on the back of the left hand.
Those with the Flame Seal are our own people, and those without the Flame Seal are outsiders.
As for Cong Jiansheng, who was watching the baptism ceremony not far away, the shock in his heart was stronger than anyone present.
Because he and Zhuang Hong had jointly researched and completed the Oath Technique, and they knew how difficult it was.
But for such a difficult spell, Zhuang Hong was actually able to cast it with a statue of a god.
That's right, it was a spell cast using a statue of a god. Cong Jiansheng confirmed that he could not be mistaken.
What shocked him the most was that Zhuang Hong was able to perform spells on more than 6,000 people at once.
It's incredible.
The last time forty of them were baptized by Zhuang Hong's oath together, they all shocked him.
Cong Jiansheng stabilized his mind, took a long breath, and looked up at the seemingly ordinary figure floating on the statue.
He thought secretly: "As expected of the God of Travelers, he is indeed unfathomable."
He rarely felt admiration and reverence for other people in his life, but at this moment, he could not control his feelings towards Zhuang Hong.
He slowly clenched his fists and said to himself: "I will work harder to practice in the future, and I will definitely be able to catch up with my predecessors."
…
After all the purple light on the statue disappeared, Zhuang Hong landed on the statue, overlooking the travelers below, and at the same time observed the baptism of vows with his spiritual mind.
I found that the fusion of this spell was quite good.
At this time, under the leadership of Yin Zizhong, all the travelers shouted in unison: "Thank you God the Savior for your gift!"
Zhuang Hong looked down at them and sighed helplessly. He had always just done what he wanted to do and thought was right, but somehow he became what these people called the 'Lord God' and what they relied on in their hearts.
But even he himself doesn't know whether he can shoulder this important task.
After all, judging from the current situation, even his 'main god' is not absolutely powerful. Even the minions used by Chiyang Rancher to clean up the anomalies are unable to confront him head-on. It can be said that he cannot protect himself.
"What they want to call me is their choice, but I know that I am neither their faith nor their light. I am just a spiritually upgraded insect struggling to survive. I still have to do whatever I want to do in the future. Nothing can be interfered with by anyone or restricted by emotions..."
This road is already difficult. If it is hampered by other things, the hope of final victory will become even slimmer.
Zhuang Hong's eyes were as firm as ever, and there was no fluctuation at all when a group of travelers called him 'Lord God'.
"Today you have completed the traveler's baptism. I hope you will always remember today's oath in the future."
As he spoke, he took out a jade slip recording a growth manual from his storage bag and threw it to Yin Zizhong: "Today, I will officially pass on some basic skills of travelers to help you obtain stronger skills in the infinite space. All information about survivability is recorded in this jade slip, and will be taught by my disciple Zi Zhong."
After finishing speaking, Zhuang Hong flashed and disappeared directly above the statue.
The travelers in the square prostrated themselves and respectfully sent Zhuang Hong off.
Zhuang Hong's baptism ended like this, but the grand activities of the 'Main God City' had just begun.
Yin Zizhong also took this opportunity to announce that an organization called "Fire Travelers" was officially established today.
And readjust the framework of the 'White Dragon Legion' organization to include all travelers into the 'Fire Travellers' system, increasing the travelers' sense of belonging.
Even for Cong Jiansheng and Head Huangfu, Yin Zizhong also set up a separate 'Changsheng Hall' for them, with Cong Jiansheng as the head of the hall. From now on, all travelers born in the world of immortality will be under the jurisdiction of the Changsheng Hall.
Of course, this is just a name to increase cohesion. Travelers outside the White Dragon Legion still have considerable freedom.
However, among the more than 6,000 travelers, nearly 5,000 were members of the White Dragon Legion, belonging to the "Hundred Dragon Hall" and commanded by Yin Zizhong.
In other words, in fact, Yin Zizhong has the final say on the Flame Traveler.
This is also true. Except for the more than two hundred travelers who were transformed by Zhuang Hong himself, almost all other travelers were handled by Yin Zizhong, and those travelers would naturally follow Yin Zizhong's arrangements.
Zhuang Hong handed over the growth manual to Yin Zizhong alone this time, with the purpose of helping Yin Zizhong consolidate his position among travelers again.
Zhuang Hong believes that Yin Zizhong understands this.
For Zhuang Hong, an organized and disciplined team of travelers is obviously more conducive to destroying the void spirit.
The event lasted for three full days.
After it was over, Yin Zizhong immediately found Zhuang Hong to listen to Zhuang Hong's next instructions.
Zhuang Hong: "Now that the oath baptism has been completed, we can expand the number of travelers in the future, to at least 100,000 people. You can make your own plans on how to do it, and I will not get too involved. I believe that you will do the best in this matter." Gotta be better than me.”
Yin Zizhong: "I understand, master. Don't worry. Today, we are no longer afraid of the spirit of the void. However, there is not much spirit wine you gave me. I will use it sparingly. It is expected that I will only be able to transform again." There are less than five hundred travelers left.”
Zhuang Hong: "I have prepared for the spirit wine. You don't need to worry. In the next few years, just practice the spells in the manual with peace of mind. Strong power is the basis for survival."
"Okay, Master."
Zhuang Hong thought for a while and seemed to have made a decision: "Zizhong, as the leader of all travelers, you hold powerful rights, which also puts you in a very dangerous position at any time. This danger may come from the void. Spirits or others may also come from within the traveler team. It is difficult to say clearly what will happen in the future.
So, next, you take two hours a day to come to me, and I will personally teach you some particularly practical skills, so that at least in some emergencies, you can have a stronger ability to protect yourself. "
Yin Zizhong became excited and shouted back: "Thank you, master. I will study hard and won't let you down."
Zhuang Hong smiled: "Don't be too confident, these skills are not easy."
Yin Zizhong patted his chest and said, "Master, have you forgotten my identity? I am the protagonist!"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
