Chapter 205 : Chapter 205
Chapter 205. Whoever I Make the Gods Acknowledge, They Must Acknowledge
At the peak of Kunlun, waves of clouds rolled like snow.
A gate cast from ten-thousand-year Mystic Ice mixed with Mystic Iron stood tall amid the wind and snow.
It towered thousands of meters high, and its walls glowed with a faint, cold blue light.
That was the base of the Divine Battle Division.
Above the gate, there was an eye-catching red banner with the words, “Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome!”
“Minister, why does this welcome ceremony feel like we are chasing celebrities?”
Lingling, the lifelike robot girl, touched the cat ears on top of her head and looked at the glow stick in her hand as she asked curiously.
Mei Xue’er, who looked like a bearded middle-aged uncle, planted both hands on her hips and said proudly, “You do not understand. We have to make them feel the warmth of our Divine Battle Division.”
“The Commander-in-Chief said that whether we can make them stay in the Divine Battle Division after the new recruit assessment depends on our efforts.”
“Little Yan, do not be so serious. Smile a little. Or do you insist on making me use Charm Art on you?” Mei Xue’er slowly lifted her trouser leg, revealing a thick thigh.
The corner of Mo Yan’s mouth twitched. He covered his eyes with his folding fan and reluctantly forced out a smile.
Seeing this, Mei Xue’er smiled faintly, then looked at Liang Shan and Sleep God.
The two of them helplessly chuckled twice.
Mei Xue’er nodded in satisfaction and turned to look at the sky, her eyes full of anticipation.
Although she had developed a small conflict with Jiang Yichen during the initial Recruit Challenge, this person’s strength was truly admirable.
If he could join the Divine Battle Division, he would be of great help in reviving Huaxia’s gods.
RUMBLE—
Before long, the roar of a helicopter’s rotors came from the air.
“They are here.”
Bearded Mei Xue’er raised a smile. “Hurry and move. Show them the warmth of our Divine Battle Division.”
Lingling raised the glow stick and waved both hands. “Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome!”
Sleep God and Liang Shan quietly echoed along with her.
Mo Yan opened his mouth slightly. After thinking for a moment, he closed it again. With a flip of his folding fan, the slogan Lingling was shouting appeared on it.
The armed helicopter stopped above the base and dropped rappel ropes. Jiang Yichen and the other three grabbed the ropes, slid down, and landed in front of Mei Xue’er’s group of five.
“Um...”
“Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome!” Lingling waved the glow stick and spun around the four of them.
Jiang Yichen: “...”
“Little brat, what are you doing?” Tang Long grabbed Lingling by the head and stopped her from continuing to spin.
Lingling stuck her tongue out at him. “Damn fatty, I have not seen you for half a month, and you have gotten fatter again. You definitely will not find a girlfriend in your entire life.”
Tang Long’s expression stiffened. He grabbed Lingling by her mechanical neck. “We have some private matters to settle. You all can talk first.”
As he spoke, he carried Lingling into a corner.
“Ah! Damn fatty, let go of me! Minister, save me!” Lingling cried with a miserable expression.
“Brother Yichen, they are really enthusiastic,” Su Linyu said with a secret smile.
Chu Xingchen also nodded slightly.
Jiang Yichen looked at the bright red banner on the towering gate and narrowed his eyes slightly. “Making things this grand does not seem like your style.”
Mei Xue’er crossed her arms, walked up to him, and extended her right hand. “I told you that we would meet again.”
“For the next half month, we will be your instructors. It is only proper for us to welcome you.”
“A defeated opponent acting as an instructor? Go play somewhere else.” Jiang Yichen slapped her hand away and sat down on a nearby chair. “Tell me. What is the content of our new recruit assessment?”
Mei Xue’er gritted her teeth slightly, but what he said was not wrong.
She really could not beat him.
“This is not the place to discuss that. Come on. Let us go to the meeting room.”
Mei Xue’er led Jiang Yichen and the others through the thousand-meter-high gate. The instant they stepped inside, they felt their entire bodies being enveloped by dense Spiritual Energy.
It was as though they had entered an ocean of Spiritual Energy.
“What dense Spiritual Energy,” Chu Xingchen said in surprise.
“Of course. Kunlun Mountain is the residence of the gods and the Sacred Land of Creation in Huaxia mythology. Cultivating here is ten times faster than in the outside world,” Mei Xue’er explained.
Ten times!
Shock appeared on the faces of Su Linyu, Chu Xingchen, and Tang Long.
The threefold boost of the Slacking Cultivation Heart Method had already shocked them. They had not expected this place to actually reach tenfold.
No wonder the members of the Divine Battle Division did not look much older than them, yet their realms were so high.
Seeing the surprised expressions of Su Linyu and the other two, Mei Xue’er could not help but smile.
But when she looked at Jiang Yichen, his face was as calm as water, as if there was nothing surprising about a tenfold cultivation speed.
I refuse to believe that there is nothing in the Divine Battle Division that can attract you!
After passing through a deep valley, the view before them suddenly opened up. Amid a white sea of clouds, all kinds of technological buildings appeared and disappeared from sight.
Even Jiang Yichen nodded slightly at this marvelous sight. This was quite a good place to enjoy life.
The nine of them boarded an aircraft and flew into a sci-fi building that stood amid the sea of clouds like a Sea-Calming Divine Needle.
“Identity verification successful.”
After Mei Xue’er verified her identity, Spatial Fluctuations rippled, and the nine of them instantly appeared inside a meeting room.
“Sit.”
Mei Xue’er pointed at a row of seats on the right. After everyone sat down, she pressed a button on the meeting table.
A holographic image immediately appeared at the center of the table. It looked like a strangely shaped building, yet also did not quite seem like one.
“What is this?” Tang Long asked.
“Your new recruit assessment mission.” Mei Xue’er pointed at the holographic projection. “This is the internal structure of the Guankou Divine Ruins, which will open in half a month.”
“So what is the content of our mission?” Chu Xingchen asked while staring at the projection.
Mei Xue’er’s gaze swept over the four of them. “We will escort you into the ruins. Your only mission is to obtain the recognition of Illustrious Sage Lord Yang Jian inside the ruins and sign a Divine Contract!”
“To make it easier to understand, I will explain it briefly.”
“Gods truly exist. In order to revive, they choose humans to sign contracts with and grant them the Power of Laws. Likewise, you will shoulder the responsibility of helping the gods revive.”
“We call such people ‘Divine Contract Holders.’ Everyone in the Divine Battle Division is a Divine Contract Holder.”
There was a trace of amazement in Su Linyu and the other two’s eyes, and they nodded slightly.
They had already learned of the existence of gods from Medusa.
“You mean that as long as any one of us obtains recognition and becomes a Divine Contract Holder, we will pass the assessment?” Jiang Yichen asked.
Mei Xue’er nodded. “That is right. But do not be happy too soon. Once a god forms a contract with a human, it is equivalent to handing over the power of life and death to someone else. They will be extremely cautious.”
“Moreover, the Guankou Ruins are on the East China Border. Foreign forces are very likely to send people to fight for them.”
“If you want to obtain recognition easily, that is absolutely impossible. You must pass the trials inside the ruins.”
Jiang Yichen thought of the “First-Mover Divine Contract” the system had rewarded him with and sighed.
“So simple. I thought it would be much harder.”
???
Question marks appeared over the heads of Mei Xue’er and the others. This was simple?
This involved gods, and he was calling it simple?
“Jiang Yichen, obtaining a god’s recognition is extremely difficult. Sleep God’s family worshiped Dream Valley for two generations before Hypnos, the God of Sleep, granted a Divine Contract.”
“And I...”
Mei Xue’er continued questioning him tirelessly.
Jiang Yichen was speechless. See? This was the difference between having a cheat and not having one.
With the First-Mover Divine Contract, it was not about which person the gods acknowledged.
It was about whom he made the gods acknowledge!
That was simply how much prestige he had!
