Chapter 609: Schmidt's Advancement
As soon as Ren Shiba finished speaking, Qi Ge couldn't wait to open the system panel and found the original system prompt.
[When the player comes into contact with the natural wonder: Immortal Wood, the Immortal Wood will be automatically transplanted to the Wood Forest.
The Wooded Forest will be upgraded to a mythical building: the Immortal Forest. 】
[When the player successfully collects the 5 buildings of Cold Pond Crypt, Immortal Forest, Cave Harpy Lair, Underground River, and Underground Mountain, they will be combined into the mythical building: Ancient Crypt]
He carefully checked the nautical chart again and finally confirmed that the islands around the Emerald Islands mentioned by Ren Shiba were indeed the Immortal Forest that he had visited twice in the Echoes of History.
The first time he went to the Immortal Forest, he entered the historical echoes of the harpy witch, which was closer to the present.
The second time he went to the Immortal Forest, he entered the historical echoes of the underground river, a time far away from the present.
Qi Ge had previously speculated that the mythical building [Ancient Crypt] was most likely composed of five miracle buildings from the same place but different time periods.
“Since the Immortal Wood is here, I have to agree even if I don’t want to.
The Chaos Sea is so dangerous, and with the help of the Sea God Church, it is much better than fighting alone."
Thinking of this, Qi Ge said to Ren Shiba:
"Master Blade Eighteen, can you give us a detailed account of how you received the mission from the God?"
"sure."
Blade Eighteen said:
“The time when God sent down the oracle was about a hundred years ago, not long after I became a demigod.
On an ordinary day, after I finished practicing sword skills, I prayed to God as usual and received revelation from God.
Deep in the Sea of Chaos, God buried a scale full of divine power under the young immortal tree to protect it.
At the same time, God also left behind the six-headed Hydra clan as the guardians of the Immortal Wood.
Unfortunately, chaos broke out too quickly and too suddenly, and the gods who had not yet been deified were hindered by chaos and failed to provide timely rescue, so the ancient archipelago area fell.
After the fall of the Ancient Islands area, the backup plan left by the God was put into action.
The God left behind his own statue and scales, which is equivalent to the God’s personal presence.
After being deified among gods, his divine power can continue to fight against chaos.
The immortal wood contains the immortal law. With the protection of divine power from the gods, the immortal wood can directly draw power from chaos and accelerate its own growth.
Over the years, the scales of the god have always protected the immortal tree, turning the chaos that wanted to devour the immortal tree into nutrients for the immortal tree.
By the time I became a demigod, the Immortal Tree had fully matured and could serve as another world tree to fill in the gaps in the Yasa world.
Naturally, it is time to recover the Immortal Wood and Divine Scales from the Sea of Chaos.
Under the command of God, I immediately organized a group of warriors to go to the Sea of Chaos with me.
Unfortunately, before the first expedition started, we encountered a chaos outbreak and had to stay behind to defend.
The second time they were somewhat successful, but they encountered some tricky chaos monsters along the way and the troops suffered heavy losses, so they had to retreat.
The third time, he was halfway successful. When he was about to reach the Immortal Forest, he encountered a Chaos Riot and had to flee back.
The fourth time…”
"Wait a minute. Wait a minute."
Qi Ge felt a headache after hearing this.
What's the point of being half successful? That means it's all failure.
Do you need to have such high emotional intelligence?
"Sir, the Chaos Sea is very complex, and the location of each Chaos area is changing every second. How do you locate the Immortal Forest in the Chaos Sea?"
Qi Ge asked softly.
Blade Eighteen explained:
“Thanks to the anglerfish God gave us.
One that can guide us to where the statue of God is.
As long as you follow the anglerfish's instructions, no matter how the chaos changes, you will move towards the Immortal Forest.
The other can guide us to the location of Penglai Fairyland and ensure that we don’t get lost in the sea of chaos.”
Qi Ge asked again:
“The Chaos Sea is extremely dangerous, and there are many areas of the ocean where just entering it will cause endless damage.
You don't have warships to protect you, so how did you march through the Chaos Sea?"
Blade Eighteen pointed outside the window and said:
"We don't have warships, but we have sea beasts.
We have conches and sea snails that protect us from the ravages of Chaos."
Qi Ge thought about it, shook his head and said:
“No, we can’t get far relying on sea beasts alone.
Sea beasts are living creatures after all, and Chaos has many sinister methods specifically targeting living creatures.
Whether it is mental attack or life extraction, it will pose a huge threat to sea beasts, so we still need warships.
How many people do you want to send? I'll see if the Silver Spirit can accommodate them all."
When Blade Eighteen heard this, he immediately became excited:
"Master Apostle, do you mean that you are willing to help me?"
“Of course, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.
The Sea God has shown me such a favor, so I must naturally repay him."
"good!"
Blade Eighteen clapped his hands fiercely and said excitedly:
“Master Apostle, our soldiers are already ready.
For some reason, the power of the Chaos Sea has weakened a lot some time ago, and the Chaos Tide has not erupted for a long time. This is the best time for us to go out to sea.
We have already prepared 10,000 Naga swordsmen, 30,000 stream spirits, and 80,000 Kappa.
Including the support from the Qilin tribe, the total number is 200,000.
This is the greatest strength that our Seagod Church can bring to bear while ensuring that Penglai Wonderland is completely safe."
"Two hundred thousand..."
Qi Gexin calculated and confirmed that the Silver Spirit could fully accommodate 200,000 troops, so he felt relieved. He said to Ren Shiba in all seriousness:
"The total is two hundred thousand, so let's round it up and call it a million!
I will persuade the Lionheart Monk to join, and with you, Your Excellency, that will be two demigods and a million troops.
Even if there are mountains of swords and blades, lava and oil pots in the sea of chaos, we will flatten them!"
"good!"
Blade Eighteen clapped his hands vigorously and said, "With the help of the Apostle this time, we will definitely succeed.
The day when the Immortal Wood is recovered will be the day when God will bestow His rewards upon us."

unknown】
very good.
Qi Ge smiled slightly in his heart.
He had received his first silver-white true god-level main quest [Liberation of the Fairies], and before he had even started the first round, Hai Ru Renjian had already progressed to the third round.
“After the Sea King Medal was upgraded to [Prince of the Nine Oceans], I am second only to God and above all races.
The Poseidon's subordinates are my subordinates."
Qi Ge was delighted and could not wait to say to Ren Shiba:
"Master Blade Eighteen, let's discuss the plan to retake the Immortal Forest."
Blade Eighteen enthusiastically pulled Qi Ge and said:
“Don’t rush this moment.
The Apostle was just crowned today and is very tired. It is better to take a nap and get enough rest first."
I was about to lie down just now, but you pulled me up to have a private chat with me.
Now you are not in a hurry? Oh, the duck is in the pot and can't fly, right?
Qi Ge did not doubt it, and said with a smile:
"Okay then. Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency."
Blade Eighteen pulled Qi Ge and spoke very quickly:
"Come on, let me take you to take a bath first."
Before Qi Ge could say that he had already washed, he was carried on the shoulders of Ren Shiba.
Ren Shiba had no intention of discussing with Qige. He took two steps at a time and ran to a large bathhouse-shaped room in the Poseidon Shrine.
" Master Apostle, please enjoy your time."
Ren Shiba threw the Seven Pigeons into the room and slammed the door shut.
"What's going on?"
Qi Ge stood up with a confused look on his face and looked around.
This is a luxurious bath, spacious and bright, decorated with exquisite seaweed pots and seaweed curtains.
There is a coral table next to the bathtub, on which are placed exquisite tea sets and snacks, and steam is coming out.
There are also comfortable giant shells around the bathing pool, and the warm shell meat of the shells allows the seven pigeons to lie down and rest.
Qi Ge can feel that this luxurious bath is a very comfortable and relaxing place, suitable for those who want to get away from the busy life and enjoy peace and relaxation.
The sea creatures in Penglai Fairyland do not have the habit of bathing. They live in sea water all year round and do not need to wash their bodies with water.
However, the Poseidon Shrine has the custom of bathing and changing clothes before and after prayers.
Qi Ge felt that this was also evidence that there were many land creatures in the Wujin Tianpin world.
The bathtub was decorated very luxuriously and warmly, but there was no water in the pool at all, which made Qi Ge very strange.
“How can we bathe without water?”
Qi Ge was about to open the door to ask when suddenly a large stream of clear water floated in from the bathing window.
The water flow separated and squirmed in the air, and soon took on a human shape.
Four hundred river spirits made of water stood in a row in the center of the bath.
They smiled sweetly and said to Qi Ge:
"Master Apostle, come and take a bath."
Seven Pigeons: ...
Qi Ge took a breath of cold air.
"Hiss! This won't do. This won't do.
How can I wash you?"
"Master Apostle, our water is the purest and will allow you to wash comfortably."
"Don't worry, Master Apostle. We will clean every corner of your body thoroughly."
"Yes, come on, Master Apostle, lie down and we will move by ourselves."
"That won't do. A real man has his share of things to do and things not to do. Using you to take a shower is like having skin contact with you all the time, isn't it?
This is too beastly, wait, what are you doing, don't pull my pants off..."
Qi Ge refused thousands of times, but finally couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the Chuan Lings and was pulled into the bathtub amid their sweet laughter.
…
…
An hour later, Qi Ge was lying on the shell, feeling weak and dizzy. It was obvious that he had taken a bath for too long and became dizzy.
There was an extremely strong fragrance on Chuan Ling's body, and these colors almost dyed the seven pigeons.
Even from a distance, you can smell the pink fragrance.
"No, no, if you carry this smell on you, you won't be able to hide it from Sylvia, not to mention Galaxy."
Qi Ge changed into a new outfit and cleaned up the smell on his body.
He was about to stand up when suddenly, the system prompt sounded.
[System prompt: Congratulations to the player, the number of followers of the Holy Griffin Church has reached one million, and the Holy Griffin Church has been officially established. ]
[System prompt: Congratulations to the player, your soldier Smith Aiwara Mlak has successfully completed the heroic journey.
Please upgrade Smit Ivara Mlak to level 5 as soon as possible.
After reaching level 5, Smit Aiwara Mlak will become your secondary hero. 】
"Um?!"
Qi Ge sat up from Beike's hand and clenched his fists.
"Smit, it worked! It was so fast!"
…
…
Holy Sky City, more than a month ago, this city was the capital of Erathia.
This is where the Holy Heaven Church believers are most concentrated, and it is filled with relatives of the vested interests of the Holy Heaven Church.
If you study it carefully, you will find that except for a small number of civilians, the vast majority of the wealthy people in Shengtian City are related to the high-level officials of the Shengtian Church.
A cardinal is like a seed that grows into a tree with tangled roots and luxuriant branches and leaves.
Big trees took root in the soil called "People of Erathia", constantly absorbing nutrients from it, making the soil miserable.
After Catherine completely seized control of the throne of Erathia, she took advantage of her victory and launched a thorough reckoning of the Holy Sky City.
Inventory of assets, registration, and tracing of responsibility...
In the entire Holy Sky City, people were killed by Catherine in large numbers, and the number of pseudo-legends who died was more than those who died in the holy war.
The results are also very amazing.
The property seized from the confiscation of houses in the Holy Heaven City alone is enough to feed all the people of Elasia for three years.
During these three years, all the people of Erathia could just lie down and do nothing, and they could live a very rich life.
It is easy to kill, but difficult to remove the poison.
The threat posed by the Holy Heaven Church to Erathia is not just these parasites.
Thought control is the most deadly.
In the deeply rooted Holy Heavenly Church in Erathia, there are still many believers even though Pope Ronius is dead and has been abolished by Catherine.
It is impossible to change the doctrines and ideas they have already accepted without taking some measures.
It just so happens that Qi Ge has many tricks up his sleeve.
Seven weeks ago, Saint Smith of the Holy Griffin Church visited the Holy Village near the Holy Sky City and openly accepted refugees in the village.
A large number of refugees from Roland Territory crowded into the makeshift thatched huts in Shenglin Village.
Smit had a compassionate look on his face and a piece of bread in his hand.
Whenever a refugee came, she would break off a piece of bread and share it with the other person.
Thousands of refugees in the village were full, but Smith still had more than half of the bread in his hand.
At that time, countless people witnessed this incident and spread the news by word of mouth. Everyone exclaimed that the Saint of the Holy Griffin Church might have the magical power to create food out of nothing.
…
…
Six weeks ago, when Smith was publicly promoting the Holy Griffin Church in White Stone City, he was assassinated by the Holy Heaven Church.
In full view of everyone, Smith was stabbed in the stomach and bled on the spot.
But just four days later, Smith, who was supposed to be dead, came back again, accompanied by an extremely beautiful young angel.
Amid the astonished gazes of countless people, Schmidt loudly declared:
“I was stabbed on Wednesday, then returned on Friday, and finally came back here on Sunday.
I should have died, but the angel told me that countless people in Erathia were still being deceived by the Holy Church, and I had to come back to save them. "
The young angel flew into the sky, showering petals and light on Smith, and then suddenly disappeared in the air.
For a moment, there was thunderous applause and everyone shouted that it was a miracle.
That afternoon, fishermen from all over Erathia were surprised to find ancient stone tablets hidden in the belly of fish while cooking. On them were written:
"Shengtian is dead, Qingtian should be established!"
The Blue Sky Church is another name for the Holy Griffin Church, named because the church's emblem uses blue as the background color.
Five weeks ago, countless bards poured into Erathia from all directions, singing together the glorious story of Her Majesty Catherine's victory over Geffen Hart and denouncing the various filthiness of the Holy Heaven Church.
Four weeks ago, a large number of cities in Erathia launched a large-scale religious conversion campaign.
Any citizen of Erathia who visits the local Griffin Tower can receive two pumpkin pie and a potato.
Three weeks ago, the Church of Poseidon announced that it recognized the legitimacy of the Holy Griffin Church and would coexist harmoniously with the Holy Griffin Church.
Both churches have declared that believers are not prohibited from believing in both faiths at the same time.
Two weeks ago, an incident occurred in the northern border of Erathia.
The current leaders of the Holy Heavenly Church, Adrid and Saint Adela, announced their decision to turn from darkness to light, voluntarily handed over the remaining remnants of the Holy Heavenly Church, and announced their joining of the Holy Griffin Church.
A week ago, Smit gave a public speech in the City of Glory titled “My Struggle – For a Better Erathia.”
Smith's speech described in detail how the Holy Heaven Church oppressed and exploited the lower-class people of Erathia, and exposed a lot of shameful inside stories of the Holy Heaven Church.
Smith used his own childhood experiences and what he saw with his own eyes as a starting point to describe the evil deeds of the Holy Heaven Church clearly and plainly.
She criticized the past, looked forward to the future, and put forward the Holy Griffin Church's people-oriented, fair and just proposition, which won the applause and tears of countless people.
While the Seven Pigeons were being washed by the River Spirits, all 70,000 monks in the largest monastery in Erathia, under the persuasion of Father Rai, announced their conversion to the Holy Griffin Church.
This last shortcoming was made up, and Schmidt successfully completed the hero's journey!
However, Smith encountered the same trouble as Ke Ruoke - he had completed the hero's journey but his rank was not high enough.
Under the effect of the Heart-Linking Conch, part of the experience gained by the Seven Pigeons will be shared with Smith.
Qi Ge wandered around in the Sea of Chaos, not only filling up his experience points, but also filling up Smith's experience points.
This made Smith very distressed.
With a huge reserve of experience points and unique life experiences, Smith has too many options for advancement.
The 5th level of treasure maker, the 5th level of spearman... Because of her status as a saint, Smith can even advance to the 5th level of mythical soldiers [Saint of Destiny] that only Adela has advanced to level 1.
However, Smith was somewhat dissatisfied with these advancements.
Just as Smith was feeling distressed and confused, the conch shell (right) that she had been wearing around her neck suddenly rang.
"Smit?"
"Brother Qige!"
Schmidt was very surprised, and so was the seventh pigeon.
“We can actually talk!
In the Sea of Chaos, my other voice-transmitting conch shells have lost their functions. I never thought that the Heart-Connecting Conch Shell that was communicating with you, Smith, could actually transcend the limitations of the Sea of Chaos!
It's amazing, you are worthy of being my Smith. "
"Hey, I'm pretty awesome.
Brother Qi Ge, I have good news for you. I have completed my heroic journey!"
For some reason, after hearing Qi Ge's voice, Smith suddenly felt less uncomfortable.
Qi Ge and Smith talked a lot. Qi Ge told Smith some of the things that he encountered on the Sea of Chaos, but Qi Ge only reported good news and not bad news. He did not tell Smith about his encounter with the evil demon.
Smith complained to Qi Ge about the hardships of being a saint, but more importantly, she expressed her longing for him.
At the end of the conversation, Smith talked about his current troubles.
"Choose an advanced type of soldier?"
Qi Ge stroked his chin and said:
“Smit, your instinct is right.
Although [Holy Maiden of Destiny] is a very powerful advancement, it is a combat advancement. Once you choose it, you will not automatically gain the treasure-making skill after becoming a hero and will need to learn it again. At the same time, when making treasures, you will not be able to obtain the bonus from the arms themselves.
You love the art of making treasures, and I still hope that you can continue on the path of a treasure maker."
Qi Ge said quietly in his heart:
“It’s also safer this way.”
Smith responded:
"Yeah! Brother Qi Ge is right. I also like treasure makers more."
Smith said quietly in his heart:
"Only a treasure maker can help Qi Ge better."
After the two sides reached a consensus, Smith told Qi Ge about several treasure makers who could be advanced.
After listening to this, Qi Ge asked:
“Is there an advancement here that you really, really want?
The name sounds like an advanced one."
Smith said distressedly:
“No, I’m not satisfied with any of the advancements.
Even the subsequent advancement of the Lucky Treasure Maker to the Level 5 Myth Destiny Treasure Maker, I am not satisfied with it. "
“What about the list Jonesfield gave you?
Are there any subsequent upgrades for Scrap Collector, Magic Treasure Maker, etc. that satisfy you?"
“Neither do I.”
"Even the great forgers of mythical troops are not satisfied."
"Um!"
Smit answered, then stuck out his tongue and asked:
"Brother Qige, am I too picky?"
"No. It's not nitpicking."
Qi Ge said softly:
“Congratulations, Smith. This shows that you are likely to find your own way.
Advancing from level 4 to level 5 is the most critical step .
Ke Ruoke completed her transformation at this step, advancing directly from level 4 to level 6, becoming the first saint fairy in the Yasa world and walking her own path.
If you are not satisfied with even the 5th-level mythical soldiers, it means that you have already walked on your own path, but you have not yet finished it. "
"I see. Fortunately, I didn't advance casually."
Smit patted his chest and asked:
"Then Brother Qi Ge, how can I finish my journey?"
Qi Ge smiled and said:
“I don’t know the answer to this, it’s only in your heart.
You can try to go out more often, look around, listen, and find your most precious throbbing feeling. "
