The moment Qiu Gongyue's hand touched the door, the mysterious runes on her body suddenly lit up.
The power hidden in the mysterious runes surged out along her arms, like a floodgate opening, pouring into the gate.
Boom!
The door that had been covered in dust for a long time began to vibrate and slowly opened outwards.
Xu Cheng and Qiu Gongyue were both alert and mentally prepared, staring closely at the gap that appeared after the door was opened.
The gap was pitch black and nothing could be seen.
Before the two of them could relax, an extremely powerful attraction suddenly appeared inside the door, like a black hole, covering Xu Cheng and Qiu Gongyue, pulling them in.
Xu Cheng's face changed slightly, and he was about to take Qiu Gongyue away at once, but this attraction was extremely terrifying. Just as he was about to run back, he and Qiu Gongyue were sucked into the door.
The familiar feeling of weightlessness appeared, and Xu Cheng felt as if he had fallen into a black hole. The huge attraction pulled him around and kept spinning, and he flew into the depths.
It was dark all around. He tried to light up the light, but found that he couldn't use any power.
Qiu Gongyue, who was holding hands with him, was forced to separate the moment they were sucked into the door, and they didn't know where they ran at this moment.
Xu Cheng could only let himself fall in the darkness.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but his sense of time began to blur, and even his consciousness was affected when a voice suddenly woke him up.
[Mission: God-killer (Part 1)]
[Difficulty: Difficult]
[Content: Protecting a hunted girl]
[Whether to accept the task]
The dog manager's voice woke Xu Cheng up, and he was shocked when he saw the mission.
Why does the task appear at this time?
Before he could think about it, a bright light finally appeared in front of him, and Xu Cheng found himself crashing into the light almost at the speed of light. The powerful light instantly dispelled the darkness and filled his field of vision, making him unable to open his eyes.
The next second, I suddenly felt gravity and the howling wind in my ears.
Xu Cheng opened his eyes and found that he was ten thousand meters in the sky. The land below was undulating like waves, covered with mountains, plains and rivers.
He turned around and looked back. The sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. There was no entrance or exit. It was like he had fallen in directly from outer space.
But Qiugong Yue disappeared.
Xu Cheng directly entered the body of the God of Thunder and then hovered in the air, with a look of surprise on his face.
He could feel that the surrounding environment was filled with a large number of spirit sons, which were more active than any component in the air and far exceeded the concentration in future generations.
If we say that after the collapse of the World Tree, the amount of spirit particles in the air was 100%, then the amount of spirit particles in the air now is 10,000, more than a hundred times.
Xu Cheng has only experienced this kind of environment once in the Gate of Hell, which means that this place is an ancient era when gods coexisted.
"Am I back at the gate of hell?"
Xu Cheng subconsciously raised his hands and touched his face, and found that his appearance had not changed, as if his body had traveled directly through it.
Then where is Qiugongyue?
Did she come back like him?
Just as Xu Cheng was looking around for Qiu Gongyue, the dog management alert sounded again.
[Task begins]
[You only have ten chances to come back, please cherish it]
[Your identity is a time traveler from later generations. Please look for a girl named Aying and protect her until her injury heals. If the existence of the task manager is exposed, the mission will be deemed to have failed]
[Please go to Silver Light City to find Aying’s whereabouts]
[Connection code: What is the difference between Jesus and the portrait of Jesus]
After reading the mission description, Xu Cheng was very dissatisfied.
I am helping Qiu Gongyue find the whereabouts of the Shadow Goddess. What ghost mission did you suddenly send me back to this place for?
In reality, Gold and Saint are quickly recovering their strength and looking for fragments of the World Tree. Time is on the enemy's side. Now is the critical moment of racing against time. How can they have time to do tasks.
If Xu Cheng stays here for a while, he might be able to see the graves of Elizabeth and Amaterasu when he goes back.
"Dog management, can you not accept the task? I'm in a hurry to go back."
[I know you are in a hurry, but don’t worry. When did you come, you will go back after completing the task.]
In other words, time in the Hereafter has stopped, no matter how long he stays here.
This made Xu Cheng relieved and asked: "Where is Qiu Gongyue?"
【checking……】
[No signs of her activity can be detected, she may not be in the same time and space as you]
Xu Cheng's heart sank slightly. Even the dog manager couldn't find Qiu Gongyue's whereabouts, so where could he look for it?
However, he is not very worried about Qiu Gongyue's safety. The mysterious runes on Qiu Gongyue's body can open the door. There must be some deep connection between her and the Shadow Goddess. Maybe she is the one The missing first saint.
For now, let’s complete the current task first.
"Um?"
Xu Cheng released his electromagnetic induction and was about to find the whereabouts of Silver Light City. Suddenly he noticed movement in the distance and immediately turned into a bolt of lightning and shot towards it.
…
In a dense forest, on a muddy dirt road, a group of ordinary people were fleeing with their families.
They looked panicked, their clothes were disheveled, they were carrying large or small packages on their backs, and they were dragging children or old people in their hands. They were hurriedly on their way. Even if they fell, they would get up in a hurry, not daring to stay for a moment longer.
The ground suddenly shook slightly, and there was a rapid sound of horse hooves from behind. The fleeing crowd was like a disturbed honeycomb, and commotion broke out in an instant.
They looked back and saw a group of cavalry at the end of the road, galloping towards them.
Just seeing the cavalry appear, the crowd burst into screams of terror and rushed forward to escape.
The cavalrymen unfurled their bows and nocked arrows, and fired a volley. A dozen arrows flew over with a scream, and sank into the crowd, easily nailing a dozen people to death on the road.
Immediately afterwards, they caught up on horseback, drew their weapons, and like cutting leeks, slashed one after another, and started a bloody massacre of the fleeing civilians.
There were screams and screams, and the civilians fled in all directions. Some people tried to escape into the dense forests on both sides of the road where horses were impossible to ride, but they were immediately shot to death by the bows and arrows of the cavalry.
Soon, more than half of the hundreds of civilians were slaughtered.
A woman knelt down next to the body of her husband who was hacked to death. She watched a cavalry rush over. She could only hold the child in her arms tightly and wait for death to come.
The little girl in her arms looked only three or four years old. Her eyes were blank and she didn't know what was happening.
Her young eyes met the excited and bloodshot eyes of the cavalryman.
Not only did the cavalry show no compassion, but he licked his tongue excitedly, raised his saber high, and prepared to behead both mother and daughter at the same time.
boom!
Suddenly there was a bolt from the blue, and a loud thunder boom drowned out countless sounds.
A thick thunderbolt fell from the sky and struck the cavalryman with his weapon raised high. Together with the seated horse, it was chopped into a ball of charcoal.
The rest of the cavalry were shocked and looked up at the sky. They were greeted by thunderbolts one after another.
Thunder continued, and a dozen cavalrymen were slaughtered in the blink of an eye.
The dozen or so civilians who survived stared at this scene, all frozen in place.
Xu Cheng fell from the air. The scene as bloody as a slaughterhouse made him frown slightly. He raised his hand and prepared to use his life power to resurrect the victims.
"Um?"
The power of life did not appear, and Xu Cheng found that his life power could not be used.
He hurriedly opened his personal attributes, only to find that not only the power of life, but also the power of destruction and the power of Vulcan were all disabled.
"Are you kidding me?"
Xu Cheng immediately asked the dog manager to get out: "Why are you disabling my ability?"
[The God of Fire and the God Killer survive in this time and space, so now you cannot use the powers that originally belonged to them]
Xu Cheng understood. He had communicated with Elizabeth and knew that there were two identical abilities in the world, but there were no two identical powers.
If a god has a certain power, it is equivalent to monopolizing this power, and other gods can no longer interfere.
This is the truth, but now Xu Cheng only has the thunder chaotic energy left to use. How can he complete the mission?
He is now a god in the flesh, and relies on the power of the three gods to gain power that matches the gods.
But in this ancient era when gods were everywhere, relying only on level six chaotic energy, he was nothing more than a dish.
[This is a force majeure situation. Unless you can kill the Vulcan or God Slayer, you can use their power]
Seeing the dog management being so arrogant, Xu Cheng didn't know what to do.
If it can't be used, then it can't be used. Anyway, it's not the first time he has done a difficult level mission.
[As a reminder, after the body becomes a god, the sixth level of thunder chaotic energy can be upgraded again. 】
"Forget it, you've been staring at me all day long, and I can't even save my three melons and two dates. How can I upgrade it?"
Xu Cheng now only has 8 mission points and three random enhancements left, which is not enough to upgrade the chaos energy to the seventh level. After completing this difficult mission, it may be possible.
When he came back to his senses, he found that the dozen or so surviving civilians were all looking at him nervously.
Xu Cheng raised his hand and pointed at one of the people who looked calmer: "Come here and tell me what happened?"
Fortunately, he had hundreds of years of experience in the gates of hell to understand the language of this era.
Although the person who was pointed out was a little scared, he still ran over and lay down in front of Xu Cheng, stammering.
From the other party's narration, Xu Cheng already understood that now was the era of the rise of the Great Lord, and the Golden Supreme King was leading his invincible army to embark on a journey to conquer the world.
The country of this group of civilians has been invaded by the Golden Supreme King. Their hometown of Silver Light City has been breached, and a large number of civilians are fleeing.
These cavalrymen belong to the army of the Golden High King and are ordered to hunt down the fleeing civilians.
Because Silver Light City is protected by the God of the Stars, most residents are believers of the God of the Stars. For the monotheistic religion founded by the Great Lord, believers of other gods are heretics and must be exterminated and killed.
Xu Cheng asked the dozen survivors: "Do you know a woman named Aying?"
More than a dozen people shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know him.
Xu Cheng was about to leave when the man lying on his back suddenly kowtowed to him and begged loudly: "Sir, please take me away, I can do anything!"
Seeing this, the other survivors quickly knelt down on the ground and kept pleading with him. The young woman even pushed her daughter forward, hoping that Xu Cheng could take her child away.
"I don't have time to take care of you."
Xu Cheng shook his head: "I will clear out all the nearby troops, and you can escape for your lives."
He could be saved for a while, but not forever. He really didn't have time to take care of a group of ordinary people.
More than a dozen people below were still kowtowing and pleading, but they didn't realize that Xu Cheng had already left and returned to the sky again.
Just now when the dog manager said that the God Killer was alive, Xu Cheng had an impulse in his heart. Should he go and find the God Killer?
But in the end, Xu Cheng gave up the idea. The God Killer didn't know him at all, and with the God Killer's unlucky fate, staying with him would definitely lead to disaster.
There are also Caroline and Shilin who have been with Xu Cheng for many years in the Gate of Hell.
It's a pity that they are all fake. The real Caroline was accidentally killed by the God Killer hundreds of years ago.
Shireen may really exist, but she has already passed away by now.
Xu Cheng shook his head and put these inappropriate thoughts behind him, then let go of his electromagnetic induction and searched the surroundings. Sure enough, he found a large number of civilians fleeing, and many cavalry interspersed among them, causing wanton massacre.
He transformed into Thunder and began to eliminate these soldiers while looking for the whereabouts of the woman named Aying.
While clearing away the soldiers, Xu Cheng moved against the direction of the fleeing crowd. Soon, Xu Cheng saw the Silver Light City that the civilians were talking about.
This city built on a hill looks very much like Minas Tirith in Lord of the Rings 3. The entire city is pure white and magnificent.
However, this city protected by the gods has now fallen into the dust of flesh and blood.
The brutal siege battle has ended. The towering city wall is full of broken gaps. Countless corpses are piled up and down the city wall, so densely packed that they almost form a mountain.
In the city, bloody killings were going on. The soldiers who invaded the city did not stop and continued to slaughter all living creatures.
This heretical city has no place for it under the rule of the Great Lord.
The remaining soldiers in Silver Light City did not surrender and were still engaged in fierce street fighting.
Xu Cheng sneaked into Yinguang City quietly and killed people without any fanfare.
In this era, the mysterious great lord has not yet fallen asleep, the Golden Supreme King and the Saint are also at their peak, and all the gods have been beaten to pieces by them.
Xu Cheng didn't want to be in the spotlight, lest he attract these two big bosses.
All he can do now is sneak into the village and don't want to shoot anyone.
Sneaking into the city, Xu Cheng looked around for surviving civilians and asked them about the whereabouts of a girl named Aying. At the same time, he had to avoid the soldiers who were massacring the city. He would only do so when he could not avoid it or when he needed to save someone. Do it quietly.
However, this kind of search is extremely inefficient. The city is too large, has too many people, and there are many fake people.
When he asks one by one, everyone in the city will be killed.
He now either has to clear out all the troops in the city, or he has to find another way.
After thinking about it, Xu Cheng realized that he could not continue like this.
Judging from the mission description, this Aying girl should be injured, and she is in a special environment like Silver Light City. If she does not find her as soon as possible, she may be accidentally killed by the soldiers who invade the city.
If the opponent is killed, then Xu Cheng will have to restart, so he might as well take the chance of a restart.
He spread the electromagnetic induction throughout the city, then took a deep breath and prepared to shout.
boom!
Before Xu Cheng could speak, a loud noise suddenly came from the distance, and thick smoke from the explosion could be seen pouring into the sky from a distance.
He suppressed the urge to call someone and hurried over there.
…
On the streets littered with corpses, two figures were chasing each other.
One of them is a majestic general wearing golden armor and a big beard, and the other is a woman wearing soft armor with short hair.
"Stop struggling and surrender."
The golden-armored general made a wild cry while condensing highly concentrated energy weapons with his hands, and kept throwing them at the short-haired woman.
The short-haired woman jumped and dodged between buildings. The concentrated energy weapon thrown by the golden-armored general hit the object and instantly triggered a violent explosion, destroying all the surrounding buildings within dozens of meters.
On the long street in the distance, countless soldiers formed a battle formation. At the same time, they drew their bows and arrows, and the tops of the arrows were burning with golden flames.
With one command, thousands of arrows were fired.
Countless arrows burning with golden flames formed a golden rain of arrows, covering the short-haired woman.
She had nowhere to hide, so she hurriedly opened her hands, opening a shadow out of thin air to block the golden arrows that were coming.
With a crackling sound, the arrows instantly poked the shadow into dense hedgehogs, and the golden flames burned the shadow, causing it to quickly disintegrate.
The short-haired woman had just escaped the fatal covering shot when her expression suddenly changed. The golden-armored general was already chasing her.
He condensed two golden energy giant axes with his hands, aimed at the short-haired woman, and struck her on the head.
The short-haired woman crossed her arms, and her shadow quickly formed a shield in front of her to resist attacks.
boom!
The giant ax struck the shield, shattering it into pieces.
The short-haired woman tried her best to dodge backwards, but her hands were still cut with two bloody wounds by the giant axe.
She took the opportunity to run backwards, and the golden-armored general chased after her, brandishing his giant axe.
The two sides were fighting over the city while moving. The short-haired woman endured the injuries in her hands and kept creating shadows to shoot at each other, trying to interfere with each other.
The golden-armored general swung his two axes, smashing all the shadows that came towards him, and threw the giant ax in his left hand towards the short-haired woman.
The short-haired woman gritted her teeth and raised her hands, and shadows shot out again, tightly wrapping the flying giant ax like ropes.
"snort!"
The golden-armored general sneered.
boom!
The giant ax turned into a bomb and exploded, forming a huge firework in the sky.
The short-haired woman used her shadow to create a shield in front of her in time, barely blocking the explosion.
brush!
The light next to her was suddenly blocked. She turned her head in surprise and saw the golden-armored general teleporting to her side. He raised the giant ax in his right hand with a grin and swung it hard.
The shadow shattered, and a huge wound was opened on the short-haired woman's body. She was shot out with blood, and fell heavily onto a long street. She rolled on the ground for dozens of meters before stopping.
boom!
The golden-armored general fell from the air, and his feet made a huge hole in the solid ground.
He twisted his neck, making a clicking sound, and stepped closer to the motionless short-haired woman lying on the ground.
"Don't think you can escape by pretending to be dead. I will chop off your body piece by piece, pull out your soul, and interrogate that person's whereabouts..."
The golden-armored general spoke eloquent words, and the giant ax in his hand turned into a sharp blade, and he threw out a sword.
When he came to the short-haired woman, he used his feet to turn her over from the ground. He found that she was already furious. He thrust the sharp blade in his hand down, piercing her thigh and nailing her to the ground.
The seriously injured and dying woman with short hair groaned, showing a painful expression, and slowly opened her eyes.
The golden-armored general licked his lower lip, showing an excited expression.
Just as he was about to draw out the sharp blade, his face suddenly changed slightly and he turned back hurriedly.
boom!
A thick bolt of lightning came from a distance and hit the golden-armored general in the abdomen.
His huge body was knocked backwards and crashed into the building on the side of the long street with a crash.
boom! boom! boom!
The golden-armored general couldn't stop, and was knocked through countless walls. Finally, he came to a square where corpses were strewn, and he hit a huge stone statue tens of meters high. The stone statue was broken and collapsed with a roar.
The lightning turned into Xu Cheng, who hovered in the air and began to summon countless electrons floating in the surrounding atmosphere.
The golden-armored general rolled nearly a hundred meters on the ground and finally stopped. The golden armor on his abdomen was broken, revealing his bloody belly.
However, he did not appear to be seriously injured. He suddenly got up from the ground, quickly condensed a pair of energy giant axes with his hands, and glared fiercely at Xu Cheng, who was suspended in the air.
"Thunder's apostle?"
He kicked his feet hard, and like the Hulk, his burly body jumped up from the ground.
"The God of Thunder has long been defeated by the great Golden Majesty, and you heretics still dare to come out and act."
He roared angrily, raised his two axes high, and struck Xu Cheng down: "Go to hell!!"
boom! !
The Thunder God's Staff fell from the sky and hit the golden-armored general. The terrifying high temperature instantly vaporized his entire body, leaving not even a scrap of debris left.
Xu Cheng, who launched his ultimate attack upon meeting, did not stop. He began to summon thunderclouds and gathered them in the sky above Silver Light City.
Countless thunderbolts fell, clearing away the raging army in the city.
Amidst the rumbling thunder, Xu Cheng returned to the short-haired woman who was seriously injured and dying.
"Wake up! Can you hear me? What's your name?"
The short-haired woman slowly opened her eyes, and then slowly moved her fingers. The blood on her fingers flowed on the ground and gathered into an irregular pattern.
"You are talking, but I can't understand what you are drawing."
Xu Cheng was very anxious. If he had known earlier, he would not have cared about the life and death of the civilians outside, but he ended up being late.
The short-haired woman's mouth moved as if she was saying something.
Xu Cheng quickly lay down and listened, and only heard intermittent words: "Protect...protect...her..."
"Protecting whom?"
When Xu Cheng looked up, he saw that the short-haired woman had expired.
It's over, it will start again as soon as it comes up!
Xu Cheng stretched out his hand and smoothed the dead eyes of the short-haired woman, and then found that time was still flowing, and the dog manager did not remind him that the mission had failed.
This woman is not the Aying he is looking for?
Xu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then realized that the short-haired woman's fingers were not drawing on the ground, but her index finger was raised, pointing in a certain direction.
He subconsciously looked up in the direction pointed and found a hole in the wall not far away.
A woman in black with a veil on her face stood there at some point, looking at Xu Cheng with an indifferent look, and suddenly asked: "Can you take me somewhere?"
Xu Cheng was surprised: "Who are you?"
"My name is Aying."
