Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

Until the dawn.

When I returned from the "Holy Abyss - The Lost Royal Court of Isol", the faint morning light was already emerging from the window of the room and the horizon.

This time when I returned to the Holy Abyss, there were 100 new "Adventers" joining the Holy Abyss, and as time passed, the number of new players joining every day has also stabilized.

And the "divine object" held by Luo Xiu - "Spiritual Spring", the accumulated experience value has once again approached the upper limit.

After returning to the room of the "Holy See", Luo Xiu opened the panel of the "Spiritual Spring" and took out all the accumulated experience points from the experience pool——

[Godly Object: Spiritual Spring]

[Current experience value storage: 9447182/10000000]

[Current resonance level: Level III]

[Level III resonance level: When taking out the stored experience points, the effective conversion is 70%]

[……]

[Experience extracted: 6613027]

[……]

Accompanying the process of "conversion" and "extraction" of the Spiritual Spring——Luo Xiu clearly felt that a surge of pure, spring-like spirituality poured into his body from countless faces.

He felt that his mind became clear, and the feeling of his body seemed to become as light as a feather.

The light and shadow in his panel were still floating, constantly showing new content——

[Godly Object: Spiritual Spring]

[Resonance level increased! 】

[Current resonance level: Level III → Level IV]

[Level IV resonance level: When taking out stored experience points, effective conversion is 80%]

[Experience value storage capacity increased! ]

[Storage capacity increased to: 10000000→30000000]

[Enhanced efficiency of condensing natural spirituality! ]

[Efficiency of condensing natural spirituality: 15/min→30/min]

[……]

——The resonance level of "Spiritual Spring" has finally reached Level IV!

Luo Xiu's eyes lit up, and he quickly browsed the improvement brought by the resonance level after it was raised to Level IV.

The biggest improvement - that is the efficiency of "effective conversion", which has increased from 70% to 80%, and the attenuation of accumulated experience in the experience pool has been further reduced, which is a crucial point for Luo Xiu.

After all, his main way to gain experience now is to continuously accumulate from the players of "Holy Abyss". The increase of 10% conversion is equivalent to a pure linear improvement, which is self-evident for the expectation of upgrading and even promotion.

The storage capacity of the "Spiritual Spring" has also been increased to 30 million, which allows Luo Xiu to store experience in the experience pool for a longer time without having to pay attention to it all the time.

The increase in the capacity limit also has other benefits - for example, Luo Xiu can allocate part of the capacity to take over the business of the "Gold Country Bank" in his previous life, and open the real purpose of the "Spiritual Spring" experience value storage and conversion to players.

Now, "God's Destiny" has been open for public beta for more than half a month, and many players who have joined "Holy Abyss" have formed their own "guilds" and groups.

For example, "Thomas the Tank Engine" and "Iron Pot Stew Crocodile" have formed a guild called "Mirror of Radiance" and recruited all players who joined the church's periphery and became "Saint Guardians" to join.

Although this so-called "guild" is more of a game nature, and can get various rewards and benefits through the [Guild Panel], it is not a real organization that exists as a certain force in reality, but it has also given rise to many needs in various aspects-

For example, many top members of the "guild" need to level up and break through the "Triple Fate", so there will be a need to "receive" experience from ordinary members; and some guilds want to significantly improve the overall strength of their members in a short period of time, and there is also a need to "share" experience from top members.

It was just at the time point of the public beta just 20 days after the server was opened that similar needs began to sprout among players.

And Luo Xiu was ready to build such a framework now that the resonance level of the "Spiritual Spring" has risen to level IV.

He has already conceived how he, as the real owner of the "Spiritual Spring", should get a lot of benefits from it, but this still requires some operations, Luo Xiu is not in a hurry.

And now-he has more important things to do.

At the moment when the accumulated experience points in the experience pool of the "Spring of Spirituality" were extracted again, the experience points of "44362878" had been accumulated in the experience slot of Luo Xiu's character panel!

——44 million experience points!

This can raise the professional level of "God Glory Apostle" from lv.50 to lv.60, thus triggering the [Promotion Task] that can promote [Glory] to the sixth level of destiny!

Finally waited for this moment.

Luo Xiu's eyes flashed with excitement. He had opened his character panel and his eyes fell on the level bar that was still "lv.50".

Then, the panel was given the instruction of "upgrade"——

[The current main profession "God Glory Apostle" invested 2305565 experience points]

[The current main profession "God Glory Apostle" has been upgraded to lv.51! ]

[Obtain 10 free attribute points! 】

【……】

【The current main occupation "Divine Glory Apostle" has invested 4907623 experience points】

【The current main occupation "Divine Glory Apostle" has been upgraded to lv.60! 】

【Obtain 10 free attribute points! 】

【……】

It was today that before embarking on the sacred journey, Luo Xiu raised his level to the upper limit of his current "Fifth Fate" level!

Feeling the surging power in his body, Luo Xiu's panel was still flickering and floating with mottled light and shadow, and new content emerged one after another——

[The current destiny level limit has been reached...meeting the promotion conditions...]

[Promotion tasks are being generated...]

[Trigger Promotion Mission: Ascension of Holy Wings (Hell Difficulty)]

[Recommended level: lv.60+, fifth life path and above]

[Task Type: Promotion Task]

[Task description: You are the apostle of divine glory and the messenger of God. Now, you have once again reached the critical point of spiritual sublimation.

In order to achieve the road of ascent - you should complete at least three "divine revelations" and obtain a moment of divine gift; you should obtain enough authority; you should master enough [radiance] skills and enough [radiance] knowledge; you From the day the mission is triggered, you should impose holy judgment on enough and powerful heretics and accumulate enough "divine punishment" points; you should increase your own strength to the height it deserves.

Complete these to prove that you are indeed qualified to continue to rise, open the 'Mirror Crystal Door', and advance to the 'Sixth Path of Destiny'. 】

[Mission Objective 1: Complete at least three "Divine Prophecies" (2/3)]

[Task goal two: Obtain 2 Level II authorities and 5 Level I authorities (Level II authority: 1/2, Level I authority: 3/5)]

[Mission goal three: Master at least 15 [Glorious] destiny skills and 30 [Glorious] destiny skills (Master [Glory] destiny skills: 17/15, Master [Glory] destiny skills: 31/30)]

[Mission Objective 4: Inflict divine punishment on heretics, current divine punishment points are 0/20000]

[Mission goal five: The total attribute value exceeds 4000 points (3921/4000)]

[Among all mission objectives, complete three of them to proceed to settlement]

[Completion reward: Visit the ‘Mirror Crystal Gate’, basic experience +1800000, skill slot +15, skill slot +15, free attribute point +100]

【……】

This is my... promotion mission...

Looking at the mission content that appeared on the panel, a thoughtful look appeared on Luo Xiu's face.

Now, he can finally determine the direction of his future efforts - the current Luo Xiu is not far away from meeting all the requirements of [Promotion Mission: Ascension of the Holy Wings].

Although it was mentioned in the mission that settlement could be completed by completing three of the five mission objectives, Luo Xiu had no intention of saving time from the beginning - because completing all mission objectives was the most important thing to be promoted to the next level of the hidden profession. Important prerequisites.

As for the [Promotion Mission] triggered this time, there were no mission requirements that were really difficult to complete, which made Luo Xiu feel a little lucky.

Now, among the five mission goals of [Promotion Mission: Ascension of Holy Wings], Luo Xiu can directly satisfy the second one.

——Mission Objective Three and Mission Objective Five, Luo Xiu has already satisfied the techniques and skills that the former requires; as for the latter, he can complete this immediately by allocating the free attribute points he just gained from the upgrade.

As for the first mission goal, complete the "Divine Prophecy" at least three times - before leading the clergy of the church and the players to embark on the holy expedition, just ask the oracle during the final mobilization, and the newly obtained " Oracle" quest, which can also be completed during the expedition.

The key difficulty still lies in the requirements of mission objective 2 for collecting authority, and the requirements of mission objective 4 for the Holy Judgment of Heretics - in Luo Xiu's short plan, he will also complete them during the expedition.

"..."

I thought about it for a while, about what preparations should be made for "promotion" in the future.

He suddenly felt a strong sense of sleepiness rising up, and his eyelids couldn't stop drooping downwards, so he closed the panel.

He was already quite tired - he had just finished handling the church affairs in advance, and then went to the forging manor to purify the [Steel Seal of Obscurity] for the dwarves of "Gravel", and then went to the "Holy Abyss" to guide the players. He today The workload is indeed a bit excessive.

Luo Xiu then lay back on the bed.

He needed to catch up on the last of his sleep.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not yet completely dark...he quickly fell into a light sleep.

And when daybreak comes, he will go to the Xumo Altar to carry out the last and most solemn mobilization before the holy expedition.

After that, he will leave the church and lead the clergy and players on the "holy" journey.

…

Until mid-morning.

On this day, the atmosphere in the church seemed quite solemn.

Almost all the clergy of the church and all the church players with "second destiny" and above were summoned to the altar of Xu Mo to listen to "Bishop" Rossiu Carlos's last oracle before the holy expedition——

The players are still dressed casually, but the priests all put on the most holy pure white robes. They held the sacred books recording the teachings of the "Holy Court" and stood in rows and rows in front of the Altar of a Moment. Their shadows were elongated on the cold gray stone floor by the blazing fire in the altar.

The "bishop" of the church, Bishop Rossio Carlos, is wearing a white robe with gold patterns and a golden sun pattern shawl. He stands in front of the altar, holding a golden and sacred scepter in his hand, solemn and powerful. The earth declares to the clergy of the church——

"——We are carrying a sacred mission."

"Bishop" Ross Carlos said to all the clergy:

"——We will set foot on the dark and sinful land."

"——Use the glory in the name of the Holy Judgment to break through the fog called chaos and sin!"

"——This is a sacred expedition, a necessary expedition. We will use it to warn the world of the true nobility, true faith, and true meaning of [Glory].

"——He will protect us in a moment. He will give us the sacred sword, the sacred staff, the sacred spear and shield. He will make us, the pious people who receive the blessing of [Glory], to impose the sacred excommunication on the unbelievers on His behalf!"

"——I will move forward, and move forward with the blessing of the Holy Light."

A correct version at 16191 book and 1 forum!

"——And you, my most beloved comrades, will be with me."

"——Perhaps, we will bleed, be pierced by the sword of blasphemy, and encounter the thorns of turbid light."

"——But there is no need to be afraid, you must know that this is our holy journey!"

"..."

The "Bishop" of the Red Maple City Church, Luo Xiu Carlos, declared to his clergy with a solemn and resolute expression.

And the clergy in front of the altar, their faces also showed sacred desire and piety. They will all set off today——just as their "Bishop" Luo Xiu Carlos said in the declaration, embark on the sacred journey of fighting against sin.

Everyone——all the clergy and players gathered here, are looking up, watching the short and sonorous declaration that "Bishop" Luo Xiu Carlos is still making on the altar.

At the same time, he raised the scepter in his hand, and waves of sacred golden light burst out from it. Along with his feet, the ground above the altar lit up with five layers of bright golden rings.

"-Before embarking on the journey, I will give you the holy shade!"

Luo Xiu's eyes swept down the players and clergy in front of the altar. His pupils flashed with burning golden light, and he declared in a solemn and sacred tone:

"-For you, for my sacred comrades, I will give you the holy shade of "divine glory"!"

-[Altar Ceremony]!

At this time-it has been a month since the last "consecration ceremony".

That is exactly the complete time that the momentary blessing of the "consecration ceremony" can last-Luo Xiu will give them a layer of [glory] buff given by the "bishop" before leading the clergy and players to truly embark on the sacred journey!

"——Supreme Moment, Eternal Glory!"

Luo Xiu chanted the prayer of the "Altar Ceremony" loudly:

"——I am a pious prayer, I worship with the altar!"

——Hua La La!!

The ritual formation under his feet suddenly began to flash with bright light!

The light flashed five times in succession, and each time it was more dazzling than the last. This is exactly the symbol of the "Five-Level" Altar Ceremony.

Luo Xiu continued to chant:

"——Supreme and majestic moment! Show me the true miracle!"

"——As a spectator, I often feel sad;"

"——As a saint, I am willing to be firewood!"

——Boom! ! !

Behind "Bishop" Luo Xiu, a huge roar came from the altar in front of the statue of Moment.

His outline began to emit an extremely dazzling and holy pure white glow.

As for the "bishop" Luo Xiu, his face and clothes became blurred and invisible, and were completely covered by the pure white light.

The surging light suddenly bloomed, and a sacred light curtain overflowing with golden light was unfolded in the air. It then began to slowly sink, and finally covered the outlines of the bodies of all the clergy and players-

The golden light on the ritual array also slowly faded, and the sacred spiritual residue from the "Moment" was spreading and dissipating in the air above the entire ritual array.

At the same time, Luo Xiu monitored his own panel and the panel of the clergy and players under the altar.

His own "divine" attribute continued to soar during the "altar ceremony" this time, and in the "status" column on his panel, the status content of "altar divine gift" was also updated accordingly.

——【Altar God's Gift (Divinity: 423, Divine Glory Resurrection: 2/2)】

He himself increased his "Divinity" attribute by 423 points through the "Altar Ceremony", and before the altar, his clergy and players increased their "Divinity" attribute values ​​by 12 to 120 points through the "Altar Ceremony".

This is the greatest improvement that the "bishops" and clergy who preside over the church can achieve.

At the end of the "Altar Ceremony", Luo Xiu saw that the faces of the clergy in front of the altar were increasingly pious, solemn and solemn, and the players were excited and enthusiastic - the attribute value improvement they obtained through the "Altar God's Gift" could leave those non-church players behind by a whole street!

On the altar, the ceremony held by "Bishop" Luo Xiu was not over yet.

He immediately raised the golden, sacred scepter in his hand,

At the same time, another skill knowledge of [Glory] began to emerge in his mind.

——【Divine Revelation】’s technical knowledge!

Soon, he heard a sacred, vague whisper from a moment ago——

At the same time, Luo Xiu opened his eyes that were burning with golden light, the image of the ‘Holy Expedition’ emerged in his mind, and he raised his scepter to the sky!

“—I pray for guidance.”

"—I pray for the disaster that must befall me;"

"——Show me your lofty and sacred sign!"

Luo Xiu prayed loudly.

And then the invisible existence came.

The divine will enveloped him, turning into clear and broken pictures, and ancient and low murmurs, flashing before Luo Xiu's eyes and echoing in his ears.

He saw wolf smoke igniting on the dark city wall, scarlet and golden fire streams intertwined, and blood flowing into ravines one after another, filling up canals——

Terrifying monsters emerged from the ground one after another. Priests wearing holy white robes fought against those monsters one after another, tearing those monsters to pieces or being torn to pieces by those monsters.

——That’s the “Abyssal Beast”!

And the picture of the "future" shown to him in a moment was exactly within the territory of the Dark Principality!

Just like the "Blood Corpse Hyena" craze that was first encountered outside Red Maple City, it seems that the executioners of the Dark Principality also discovered the same broken seals in their border areas and "liberated" them from the seals. !

Almost the moment he saw these scenes, Luo Xiu had already guessed what was about to happen that Xu Mo had warned him about.

And his panel also displayed new content in real time——

【He grieves with mercy and grace——】

[The sacred expedition will encounter real blasphemy, and the sealed darkness will break out again! 】

[Go to the city of ‘Ratama’ to prevent the rebirth of disaster——]

[Even if the black abyss is irreversible, please stop them until the last moment. 】

[Complete it, and a divine gift sufficient to match your achievements will be sent down in a moment]

[Countdown to disaster: 30 days]

[No new "Divine Prophecy" will be allowed until this "Divine Prophecy" is completed or the countdown ends]

【……】

The panel has appeared, regarding the content of this "Divine Prophecy" mission——

Regarding the "Latama City" where disaster is about to appear - it is on the only way to "Fafnir City".

"——Latama City!"

Pressing on the panel to display the content of the "Oracle", Luo Xiu declared loudly to the altar, his priests and the players:

"——The supreme and majestic sun has sent down an oracle to me in a moment."

"——He said that the sacred expedition will encounter real blasphemy, and the sealed darkness will break out again!"

"—He has given guidance."

"——Go to the city of Latama to prevent the rebirth of disaster!"

"——That will be the first step of our holy expedition."

"——That will be the Sunnah for us!"

After making the final announcement, Luo Xiu raised his arms and closed his eyes at the same time.

The bright golden light surged from the outline of his body again, and the faces of the priests and players in front of the altar showed passionate and exciting expressions, just like their "bishop" , raise your arms to the sky——

"——That will be the Sunnah for us!"

"——That will be the Sunnah for us!"

"——That will be the Sunnah for us!"

"..."

The solemn, sonorous, high-pitched sound blended into the wind and waves, and then intertwined, repeated, and hovered in the sky above the church.

That sacred and exciting announcement followed the bright golden light and shot straight into the sky.

The final mobilization before the holy crusade,

At this point, the most pious and determined seeds were planted in their hearts.

Then at the moment of real departure,

Take root and sprout.

…
