Chapter 177: Millions of Slaves and the Power of the True God

 Chapter 176

  Phantom City, slave trading market.

  Because the 99th layer of the abyss is the gateway to the abyss plane, the trade here can be said to be prosperous beyond imagination.

  The 99th layer of the abyss has not only invaded the human world, but also all other alien races are basically in conflict with the abyss. It is no exaggeration to say that the abyss demons are enemies of the whole world. If it were not for the protection of the will of the abyss, the abyss plane would have long been demolished by the true gods of all races.

  So in the slave trading market here, you can buy slaves of almost all races.

  After Rosen took a look around, he saw many captured human slaves, slaves of various alien races, and even countless abyss demons that had been enslaved. As long as he had spiritual crystals, he could buy as many slaves as he wanted.

  Among these slaves, what Rosen wanted to buy most were human slaves.

  The World Government prohibits the slave trade of humans, but the laws of the World Government are nothing but waste paper to the Abyss.

  If someone can buy human slaves from the abyss, according to the laws of the world government, the power of life and death over these people will be in his hands, but if these people give birth to offspring, they must be given free status.

  Although Rosen now has tens of thousands of subjects, it is obvious that the more subjects the better.

  He purchased millions of human slaves in one go, and then fed some of them to his pets on the spot.

  Of course it wasn't a real pet, it was just an abyss unicorn that he temporarily tamed.

  After eating tens of thousands of human slaves, the Abyss Unicorn stared at the remaining human slaves with an unsatisfied look.

  "Be good, eat it all at once and it's gone."

  Rosen released a space mist as he spoke, transferring the remaining human slaves into paintings and sealing them in space.

  The several abyss demons who were secretly observing Rosen no longer stared at him.

  Rosen knew that his advance preparation had paid off.

  If such a large number of human slaves were purchased, there had to be a purpose for them to be used.

  If the Abyss Unicorn didn't eat tens of thousands of people, he would not be able to take this group of humans away.

  Of course, the tens of thousands of people who died were not completely dead. Their souls were sent into the original dream by Rosen. Not only did the territory in reality need to be developed, but Xiaolongnu's original dream also needed enough population to be built bit by bit.

  After dealing with millions of human slaves, Rosen began to target those alien slaves.

  In one of the cages that was sealed layer by layer, Rosen saw a prismatic crystal that was as tall as a person.

  This crystal is pure black and without any light. You cannot see what is inside it at all. You can only vaguely sense the presence of life.

  When Rosen saw the crystal, he instinctively felt his tongue salivating.

  Ever since he acquired the Charming Tongue, he found that his resistance to beauty was getting lower and lower.

  Otherwise, he wouldn't have been unable to resist and eaten Xiaolongnu.

  Rosen had no intention of suppressing his desires, as this itself was a form of practice of the seven deadly sins for him.

  But no matter whether it was Li Shiqing or Xiaolongnu, the succubus he had come into contact with these days, or the angel who was in charge not long ago, none of them had ever made his enchanting tongue produce an irresistible desire.

  However, looking at the sign hanging outside, the price tag is actually 500 million spiritual crystals.

  You have to know that he purchased millions of human slaves, and it only cost him less than tens of millions of spiritual crystals in total.

  "What's in this that's so expensive?"

  Rosen asked the slave owner calmly.

  "It was dug out from a ruin that had been abandoned for ten thousand years. There should be a sealed Sequence 5 inside."

  The slave owner explained, "We don't know what species is sealed inside, and we don't know whether it conforms to the aesthetics of the Abyss Demons. However, since this slave has a seal that even a Sequence 3 cannot break, its value is very high."

  Rosen pondered for a moment and finally decided to take the slave.

  However, he did not have so many spiritual crystals of abyss attributes on hand. After bargaining with the slave owner, he finally paid a lot of extraordinary materials collected from abyss life and a lot of scapegoats to complete the transaction.

  Since the spiritual crystals on the human side cannot be used in large quantities, we can use the spiritual crystals to exchange for scapegoats.

  In this way, the slave owners would not doubt his identity.

  Rosen got the prismatic crystal that contained an unknown life, and immediately left the slave market and returned to the hotel.

  In the Void Gallery, he carefully sent the spiritual crystal into the Gluttony Furnace.

  Under the dual superposition of the Holy Fire of Space and the Furnace of Gluttony, its digestive capacity has exceeded Rosen's gluttonous stomach.

  So even if the seal reached the Sequence 3 level, it was still peeled off bit by bit.

  However, seeing that the seal was about to be completely broken, Rosen transferred the shrunken prismatic crystal to the Stomach of Gluttony.

  The Gluttony Furnace has stronger digestion capabilities, but its strength is far inferior to that of the Gluttony Stomach. Anyone who has not reached Sequence 2 cannot escape the Gluttony Stomach. Soon, as the last layer of the seal was broken, an elf girl appeared from head to toe who was so perfect that she did not look like a real person.

  Rosen released the elf girl from his gluttonous stomach, sensed her carefully with his spirit, and then threw her into his miracle pocket.

  Through the identification of the Miracle Pocket, he knew the origin of this elf girl.

  Since the miracle pocket was used, it was self-evident that this girl was a miracle treasure.

  To be more precise, it should be a miraculous treasure with life.

  The elves are a very large race with many sub-races. One of the sub-races is the fantasy elves, who are born with the talent to materialize fantasy. Of course, this talent has an upper limit, and it is almost impossible for fantasy elves to be promoted to Sequence 3.

  Therefore, even within the elf clan, the status of fantasy elves is not high and is not taken seriously.

  Finally, the Fantasy Elves were attacked by the Mechanical God, but for some unknown reason, the Mechanical God did not destroy the Fantasy Elves. Instead, he used the Mechanical psychic power of the Mechanical Clan to pollute the Fantasy Elves' ancient tree of life.

  All the fantasy elves born from the ancient tree of life eventually turned into mechanical life without exception.

  The fantasy elves, unwilling to become mechanical life forms, committed collective suicide around the ancient tree of life.

  The Ancient Tree of Life also self-destructed at that moment, but before it destroyed itself, it gathered its last strength to give birth to the last fantasy elf, and then sealed this fantasy elf in an attempt to preserve a healthy, living fantasy elf.

  However, the power of the gods is so enormous that the power of the mechanical gods is directed at all fantasy elves.

  Therefore, when the ancient tree of life and all the fantasy elves self-destructed, all the mechanical spiritual energy gathered in the seal in an attempt to transform the last fantasy elf into mechanical life. As a result, a miracle was born in the process.

  The Final Fantasy elves not only became miraculous beings, but also miraculous treasures.

  Some of them are similar to fairy dragon balls, so they can be identified by Miracle Pocket.

  As for why the Charming Tongue had unprecedented appeal, Rosen understood it through the miraculous properties of the elf girl.

  Perhaps it was because she carried the wish of the Ancient Tree of Life and all the fantasy elves to continue their racial bloodline that the only characteristic of this elf girl was her enhanced reproductive ability, similar to the Ash Bee Queen, who was able to give birth to fantasy elves that were equivalent to the Ash Bee.

  Rosen carefully examined the elf girl and found that she was half mechanical and half flesh and blood.

  All the skeletons in his body are mechanical, and the rest are flesh and blood. After the seal is released, he will start to absorb the blood inheritance of the fantasy elves. When he wakes up, he will be mentally mature like Xiaolongnu.

  However, Rosen could not accurately determine the exact time of awakening.

  For the next two months, Rosen changed his identity every day to purchase specialties from the abyss.

  No matter what, the money spent on buying slaves must be earned back.

  In addition, he is also painting new spiritual realm paintings.

  The divine territory alone would certainly not be able to accommodate millions of subjects and their even greater number of descendants.

  Moreover, it is not easy to solve the food and accommodation problems of millions of people.

  Rosen finally used the main god's computer to log into the deep web of the spiritual world and offered a reward to architects and designers to jointly design a city design map.

  Then the Lord God offered a reward online and purchased the relevant extraordinary materials in the Lord God's temple through a human being with great luck.

  In the Void Studio, Rosen compared the city design map and drew everything in the map without missing anything.

  This is a forest city, the entire city is made up of countless intertwined trees and vines.

  Humans live in houses built on giant trees, with streets formed by vines and the trunks of the giant trees. These giant trees not only serve as buildings, but can also grow human staples such as flour and rice, as well as thousands of kinds of fruits.

  Then, on the ground between the giant trees, vast amounts of vegetable fields were cultivated and a large number of farms were built.

  The forest city with a radius of less than 100 miles is large enough to accommodate tens of millions of people.

  Of course, Rosen is not raising pigs, so some factory-type spiritual paintings will be added later.

  At that time, you will live in the city spiritual realm and go to the factory spiritual realm when working.

  Rosen did not expect these subjects to earn spiritual crystals for him. It was enough for them to support themselves without his continuous investment.

  What he values ​​is the benefit that the people in his territory bring to the divine domain, and what he values ​​is the faith that the people in his territory continue to provide.

  Although the Hunter x Hunter Spirit Realm can provide billions of believers, these believers believe in the main god, and the divine territory cannot directly benefit from their belief, while the faith of the people can directly strengthen the divine territory.

  Of course, unlike the gods of other races, the belief system of the noble lords of the divine domain of human civilization rarely requires piety.

  As long as the people recognize the lord, as long as the public opinion is high enough, and as long as the happiness of life is high enough, all kinds of positive spiritual activities can be transformed into the faith that the lord of the divine realm needs, because this kind of faith can directly strengthen the flame of human civilization.

  Therefore, in the human world, you rarely see nobles with bad faces.

  The dark side of all nobles is in places that ordinary people can never see.

  Another month later, Rosen finally finished the spiritual painting that he had worked hard on for nearly three months. [Forest City: Spiritual Painting]

  [Level: Sequence 6]

  [Range: 500 miles]

  Population: 6,911,690

  [Specialties: population, timber, grain, vegetables, fruits, meat]

  With a place to settle down, Rosen moved the millions of people who were still sealed in the space in the painting to the forest city.

  The resettlement of nearly seven million people would take at least a month to complete using all the manpower in the territory.

  Rosen threw all the chores to Kurapika. With his experience in managing the main sacred city, it would not be difficult for him to do the job well.

  As for him, he finally had some free time and after two days of rest he prepared to complete the task.

  With the help of the shapeshifter's camouflage and transformation abilities, the Self-Portrait Clone disguised himself as an abyss snake demon and came to an uninhabited and idle house in Phantom City. He found a piece of paper in the house, which was a page torn from some kind of extraordinary book.

  [I have arrived at the Phantom City. Where is the Star Emblem placed? ]

  After Rosen wrote a line on the paper, he received a reply almost immediately.

  [Wrap it with this piece of paper and leave it where it is, then immediately use the Abyss Portal to leave the Phantom City 100,000 miles away.]

  Rosen took out the Star Emblem that cleared his own spiritual aura and then integrated the spiritual aura of others, wrapped it with the paper in his hand, returned to the hotel without hesitation, and left Phantom City with his original body.

  Rosen did not plan to stay and hide in the mysterious study because he was not sure if the mysterious study could stop Sequence 0.

  Even though Sequence 0 could not threaten the mysterious study, he would not have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters if he stayed.

  So it was safest to leave early, but he was still a little curious, so he teleported to a city thousands of miles away and left his self-portrait clone behind. He used the void phase to teleport to the first city he entered.

  Through the eyes of his self-portrait clone, Rosen silently waited for the upcoming confrontation with Sequence 0.

  After waiting for less than two hours, he had already seen a horrifying scene.

  The sky directly above the Phantom City was suddenly torn apart by a giant hand with a radius of a thousand miles.

  Through the torn sky, invisible spiritual fluctuations spread out in an instant and covered an area of ​​100,000 miles.

  Even though Rosen was standing behind the window of the mysterious study, he felt as if his head was about to explode at this moment. Crazy whispers appeared in his ears, his eyes began to bleed, and he even began to see hallucinations in the world. The horrific pressure made his body out of control.

  He was still in a good condition. Almost all the abyss demons in the city outside the mysterious study began to undergo crazy physical deformations.

  They roared and twisted and struggled on the ground, their flesh swelled into balls and began to reorganize, finally reorganizing into giant snakes covered with stripes and began to kill each other. There were not many who could still maintain their identity within a radius of 100,000 miles.

  Rosen finally saw a horrifying scene, a snake head with a diameter of ten thousand miles poked out from behind the torn sky.

  The snake head opened its mouth and bit down, and everything within a hundred thousand miles of the Phantom City was sucked into the giant beast's mouth.

  Rosen's head was about to explode at this moment. He tried his best to close the window before collapsing to the ground in pain.

  Ten thousand miles away, although the abyss demons in the city did not transform into giant snakes.

  However, many abyss demons were affected and collapsed to the ground, leaving behind psychological traumas rooted in their spirituality.

  Rosen stumbled into an alley, retracted his self-portrait clone, reopened the mysterious study, and ate more than a dozen golden apples that had been materialized and stored in advance, before he was completely purified of the spiritual influence.

  The giant snake just now should be the pet raised by the true god of the hunter sequence in the legend.

  It's just a Sequence 0 pet, but it possesses such terrifying power.

  There are five stages of advancement: below demigod and demigod, demigod and titled demigod, titled demigod and Sequence 1, Sequence 1 and Sequence 0, and finally Sequence 0 and true God. Each sequence level is as different as heaven and earth.

  Rosen left the mysterious study and staggered towards the abyss portal like other abyss demons.

  At this time, there was a long queue at the abyss portal, and all the abyss demons were trying their best to escape as far as possible. Although the giant snake swallowed everything within a radius of 100,000 miles of the Phantom City and retreated, who knows if there will be a second time.

  And even if there is no second attack, don't forget the Abyss Lord whose house was destroyed.

  If you don't run away now, you will have to endure the wrath of the Lord of the Abyss.

  Rosen forgot how many times he teleported, and finally arrived near the border between the 99th floor of the abyss and the human world.

  Here you can see a giant space crack spanning tens of millions of miles at the end of the horizon, and you can vaguely feel the strong bloody and negative aura coming from there. That is the area where the space of the abyss plane and the human world are intertwined.

  By passing through this area, he can return to the human world. With his strength, he is able to return home safely.

  Even though countless lives were buried on this battlefield, there were actually no extraordinary lives above Sequence 4 on this battlefield.

  Anyone who becomes Sequence 3 will not be able to stay on this battlefield.

  War is for the sake of interests. A war without interests has no meaning at all.

  The Abyss is arrogant and makes enemies everywhere because there are too many Abyss Demons born every year in the Abyss Blood River. Even if they kill each other, they cannot obtain enough resources to grow. Instead of internal consumption, it is better to go to war with the outside world and compete for resources in the killing.

  Those who survived and became Sequence 3 and walked off the battlefield were elites, and those who died on the battlefield were trash.

  The human side is not as cruel as the Abyss Demons, and they will not use Sequence 6 to Sequence 4 extraordinary people as cannon fodder, but they also have the mentality of survival of the fittest, and even if humans don't want to fight, they have to respond if the Abyss comes knocking on their door.

  It was only after Rosen invaded the deep web of the spiritual world through the Lord God's computer that he learned the truth about the confrontation between the two sides from the Intelligence Bureau.

  As the Lord of the Abyss, does he really care about some Sequence 6s of the Principality of Blazing Shadow?

  It's obvious that this is impossible. The truth is that the group of Sequence 6 accepted the conscription of the World Government, but were captured alive by the Lord of the Abyss. This is equivalent to a slap in the face to the World Government. If the World Government does not rescue them, people's hearts will be scattered after this happens too many times.

  However, if the World Government wants to rescue people from the Abyss Lord's lair, it will have to face the Abyss Lord who is waiting for it.

  So the Lord of the Abyss is just fishing, forcing the world government to rescue and then killing the gods who come to rescue.

  The World Government was well aware of the Abyss Lord's intentions. At this time, they discovered that a hereditary duke was carrying the Star Emblem and had just escaped the Abyss Lord's capture by chance. At this time, the World Government planned to take advantage of the Lord's strategy and kill him.

  It is obvious that the Lord of the Abyss lost this secret confrontation and the World Government won.

  The World Government's attack earlier was definitely not just against the Sequence 0 giant snake, because simply forcibly tearing the space does not require the use of the Star Emblem. The Abyss Lord never fought back against the giant snake from beginning to end, so he must have been trapped by the True God of humanity with the help of the Star Emblem.

  This time, Rosen witnessed the supreme power of the gods with his own eyes and felt a fire burning in his heart.

  He also wanted to have that kind of strength, but his current Sequence 6 strength was still far from enough.

  Rosen stayed in a city near the Abyss Battlefield ahead for a day, and then stepped into the Abyss Battlefield without hesitation.

  The human race still needs to register and be assigned to different teams.

  The Abyss Demons don't have those things. The Abyss Demons themselves are chaotic creatures without organization or discipline. So as long as there are Abyss Demons willing to step onto the Abyss battlefield, they can step into the portal to teleport into the battlefield at any time.

  Passing through the abyss portal, Rosen saw an endless wilderness.

  There was sticky dark red blood plasma under his feet, and all around him were endless dark red, twisted and strange trees.

  In the early days, the Abyss Battlefield was actually an endless wasteland and Gobi.

  It turned out that there were plants, but after several wars, all the plants were destroyed and only the wasteland was left.

  However, the Abyss later discovered that such a battlefield was too disadvantageous for the Abyss Demons who were accustomed to fighting alone.

  So later, a certain abyss lord created a new kind of plant life. This plant can grow rapidly with the flesh and blood of abyss demons as nutrients. As long as the root system rooted at a depth of ten thousand meters underground is not completely destroyed, a new trunk can grow quickly after the main trunk on the surface is gone.

  Since then, the Abyss Battlefield has been full of these Abyss Blood Trees.

  In addition to changing the environment of the Abyss battlefield and making it impossible for the human race's large-scale legion operations to continue, these Abyss Blood Trees will also continuously transform the surrounding environment, allowing the environment to weaken humans while benefiting the Abyss Demons.

  Rosen didn't expect that after so many twists and turns, he would end up on the front line.

  But now that I'm here, I can't come for nothing.

  When he was on the 99th floor of the Abyss, he was still worried about being targeted by the powerful Abyss Demons. Now he came to the Abyss Battlefield, where the most powerful one was Sequence 4. In such an environment, he didn't have to worry about anything. He only needed to kill all the Abyss Demons he saw.

  Rosen rode on the mechanical mount, activated the Void Shadow Escape and moved towards the depths of the abyss battlefield.

  The abyss battlefield is tens of millions of miles in radius, and the human and abyss forces deployed there exceed 100 million.

  Only after experiencing the bloodbath in the Abyss Battlefield did Rosen realize that his understanding of the Abyss Battlefield was still not comprehensive enough.

  Although the lowest number of troops deployed by both sides is Sequence 6, there are actually quite a few below Sequence 6, because many abyss demons have demon followers, and humans also have knight squires and low-sequence auxiliary troops.

  There are also many areas in the Abyss Battlefield, and different areas are specially provided for different sequence levels.

  Sequence 6 can go to Sequence 4's combat zone, but Sequence 4 usually does not go to Sequence 6's combat zone.

  Although there is no explicit stipulation, this is basically the default rule for both parties.

  After all, not everyone can fight above their level. It is normal for a Sequence 4 to kill a Sequence 6 in seconds. If both sides target each other's low-sequence enemies, it will not achieve the effect of survival of the fittest and will only turn into a lose-lose situation for both sides.

  Unless one day one side is sure to destroy the other side, this tacit understanding will be truly torn apart.

  This is the consensus between the Abyss and the human race. Even the Abyss Lord of the 99th level of the Abyss does not have the qualifications to break the tacit understanding alone.

  However, this person is not completely without temper. He has issued a very high reward for human extraordinary people.

  As a result, more abyss demons stepped onto the abyss battlefield, forcing the humans to continue to increase their troops.

  It took Rosen a full half year to fight his way through the abyss battlefield and return to the human world.

  (End of this chapter)
