"Beginning construction of second exclusive rule."
"Extracting prerequisite rule, please choose from the known abilities."
"Choose the following abilities: Dawn's Praise, Passivation. Confirm?"
"Please confirm the ability input ratio …"
"Exclusive rule construction in progress …"
As Gu Nan operated in the Evil God's Temple, a series of notifications appeared. He was in the process of constructing his exclusive rule, and it was already in the waiting phase.
In the Evil God game, the construction of rules was a very interesting thing.
What kind of rule a player could construct was completely dependent on the materials invested and the ratio of the materials' abilities. And the source of the materials was the equipment and skills that the players had previously possessed.
Therefore, constructing the rule that one wanted became a subject of study.
Fortunately, the fourth grade was just the beginning in the game. The players had enough courage to experiment — even if they had to waste their saves, they would not feel the pinch.
After countless painstaking lessons from their predecessors, they finally concluded these three rules:
1. Never invest more than three abilities at once. That was no different from buying a lottery ticket.
2. The constructed rule was related to the type of ability invested, but it was not absolutely related.
3. The ratio was very important! Very important! Very important!
If too many abilities were invested at once, the final rule would basically be unrelated to any of the abilities. It would deviate to an unimaginable realm.
The obtained rule was not completely dependent on the type of ability invested. It did not mean that if you invested two high damage abilities, the resulting rule would definitely be an output type rule. It could also be a healer rule.
On the other hand, the ratio of input was sometimes more important than the ability itself. It was what truly determined the bias of the obtained rule.
Of course, all this was actually meaningless to Gu Nan.
He did not need to do any experiments at all. The plan he adopted was naturally one that he had experimented with countless times in his previous life. He was completely certain of the results.
"Second exclusive rule 'Resurrection' construction completed."
Gu Nan's eyes lit up. He immediately opened his interface to take a look. Sure enough, the "Resurrection" rule was quietly lying there.
The "Resurrection" rule was actually not the original rule that Gu Nan had conceived for himself. It was a temporary decision to construct after obtaining the Immortal Demon World.
The "Resurrection" rule originated from the two abilities "Dawn's Praise" and "Passivation". The name sounded like a restorative effect, but in fact, it had nothing to do with recovery.
This rule wasn't used on Gu Nan himself, but for someone else to use!
The correct way to activate "resurrection" was: Those who were killed by Gu Nan with the power of shadow, or those who were successfully infused with the law of shadow shortly after death, could be resurrected through the shadow body.
This description seemed complicated, but it was actually very simple — this was the law of recruiting underlings.
As long as Gu Nan killed someone with his own hands, or was discovered by Gu Nan not long after their death, he could resurrect them into his shadow body to work for him.
According to the game's model, the Shadow Body would retain its core abilities after resurrection, but apart from some special circumstances, most of its memories would not be retained.
If it was a high-level monster, it would have a certain degree of intelligence after resurrection. However, this intelligence came from the reconstruction of the rules and had nothing to do with the monster when it was alive.
Gu Nan's consciousness returned to reality, and as he sensed the aura of the new laws, he revealed a satisfied smile.
"This way, I won't have to worry about the manpower to manage the Divine Kingdom."
Gu Nan's decision to create "resurrection" at the last minute was, of course, not for fun. His ultimate goal was to manage his own Divine Kingdom — after all, Reincarnators were unreliable, and the natives were disobedient, so he could only create his own underlings.
Even for players like him who walked the path of strengthening themselves, the "resurrection" law was a little incompatible. Usually, only players who played the summoning style would choose this law.
Because in terms of combat, the underlings could not help him much. They were purely used for management.
In this way, Gu Nan actually lost out on a law.
However, if other players had such an opportunity, they would definitely be willing — this was a chance to start managing a Divine Kingdom at grade 4!
Unfortunately, when he killed Land Marigold, Gu Nian, and Stothyn, he did not have this law. Otherwise, if he could resurrect them, it would be equivalent to having a lot of underlings.
…
In a small manor in the City of No Return, Gu Nan lay leisurely on a rocking chair, covering his head with a book.
It was noon, and the sun shone on his body, making him feel lazy.
At this time, it was already more than two months after the great battle. The origin was stabilizing, and the chaos of the world was gradually recovering.
That chaotic battle, which people called "The Great Destruction," was said to be a battle between the top cultivators, which caused the sky to collapse and the earth to crack. The sun and moon lost their light, and even the sun disappeared for a few days.
In the end, the winner of that battle was the Hall Master of Blue Dragon Hall — after all, she was the only one alive.
"Teacher …" Yan Xiaoxiao stood beside Gu Nan, lifted the book covering his face, and said helplessly, "The Yan Kingdom and the Tianyun Sect have already announced their surrender. Should we accept it?"
"Of course!" Gu Nan said decisively, but then yawned. "Try to resolve it peacefully, don't kill too many people."
Yan Xiaoxiao showed an expression as if she had seen a ghost, and looked at him strangely, as if she didn't know him anymore.
Gu Nan sensed her gaze and explained, "Even if they are civilians, they are worth a basic unit of divine power. It would be a pity to kill them … Just think of it as me being merciful."
The power of the living beings in the God Kingdom represented the upper limit of the power that players could obtain from the God Kingdom.
In a good place like the Immortal Demon World, Gu Nan could directly extract power, which meant that he could obtain the maximum power!
Players could ignore the lives of NPCs, but for things that belonged to them, they would definitely be stingy, and they would fall out with anyone who dared to touch them.
Of course, Yan Xiaoxiao didn't understand what he was talking about, but she could understand the gist of it. After all, the lives of civilians were useful to her teacher …
"Are there many cultivators left?" Gu Nan asked.
"There are quite a few, but there aren't many powerful ones, especially Extraordinaires …" Yan Xiaoxiao said as she looked at him strangely.
She knew better than anyone else who killed those strong people.
"Is that so." Gu Nan frowned. "Then we can only think of a way to groom them."
Yan Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she said, "Those reincarnated people left behind many cultivation methods. If we can build a unified country and use the power of the country to promote it, the power of the cultivators will definitely increase very quickly!"
As the ruler of the Blue Dragon Hall for more than 20 years, Yan Xiaoxiao had certainly thought of this problem.
She had even thought about what kind of system she would set up if she had a unified empire, so as to achieve the best effect of promoting talents and obtaining the most backbone military forces.
"No, we don't need a unified empire." But Gu Nan clearly wasn't going to use her suggestion.
Gu Nan looked at her and said, "Do you know where it's most likely to produce strong people?"
Yan Xiaoxiao was stunned. After many years of training, she wasn't an ignorant person, and she subconsciously said, "The battlefield …"
