Dark clouds were gathering in the sky.
After many days of continuous rain, it seemed that there would finally be a storm today.
However, even such weather couldn't stop the people of the Twin Dragon Mount fort from waiting and watching the ritual outside the Temple of Providence passionately.
After the battle against the Forest Monsters the day before, the human settlement obtained a lot of offerings and Souls of Civilization.
However, those Ordinary Souls of Civilization and offerings weren't used yet.
It was because the ritual would consume a lot of the settlement's power of providence!
Although the consumed power of providence could be slowly recovered, there would inevitably be a low tide after a large number of rituals, which would lower the settlement core's defense ability.
On the other hand, after the Twin Dragon Mount fort was upgraded to Rank-3, Ji Ye realized that the abundant power of providence could accelerate the formation of resources in the fort. Therefore, he decided to split the ritual in order to avoid consuming too much power of providence at once!
Therefore, there were only three offerings in the Temple of Providence at this moment.
The first item was an offering named Mental Power Crystal dropped by the Extraordinary Rank-2 Quasi-Commander Mirage Monsters. It was of Refined quality.
The second was the Extraordinary Rank-4 Perfect Mirage Dragon's Tooth that Ji Ye had just fused!
The third was the Extraordinary Rank-5 Superior Black Mountain Armor dropped by Valiant General Black Mountain on the Battlefield of Providence.
Last time, because the level of the Soul of Civilization was too low, he didn't dare to use it. This time, the Forest Monster King's Soul of Civilization had also reached Extraordinary Rank-5, so he was very confident that he could use it.
"The ritual is about to begin!"
"I wonder who will be summoned this time?"
"Wu Song and Lu Zhishen are both here. Yang Zhi and Lin Chong are very likely to be summoned. They're very close to each other!"
"I like Hua Rong and Yan Qing more!"
"I like Brother Xiaoyi too, but I don't think it'll be so easy to summon him. After all, he's a Heavenly Spirit Star."
"Even Perfect heroes like Wu Song and Lu Zhishen have been summoned. Yan Qing is only the last of the 36 Heavenly Spirits. It won't be a problem for him!"
Over the past few days, a lot of new Earth players had joined the Twin Dragon Mount fort.
As the Ten-Species Competition quest went on, it was inevitable that many human settlements failed in the competition.
Therefore, new people showed up in the Temple of Providence almost every day.
"Hehe, Wu Song and Lu Zhishen are only ranked in the top ten. It's not like he's in the top ten of the Heavenly Spirits. Who can say that he's a Perfect hero? "
"Moreover, who knows if it was luck that brought Wu Song and Lu Zhishen here. Who knows, maybe we'll attract an Earth Fiend to make up the numbers today. "
However, the second batch of players was a mix of elites and ordinary people.
As the Twin Dragon Mount fort developed, the elite talents or those who were willing to work hard would stand out and receive enough resources to improve themselves. The newcomers with mediocre abilities, on the other hand, received fewer resources and were even marginalized. It was inevitable that the Chosen Ones were dissatisfied.
"F * ck, which grandson is being so weird? Are you looking for a beating?"
However, Ji Ye didn't need to care about such people anymore. Even the first batch of rookies didn't need to.
After becoming Ninth Uncle's disciple, Mister Bug, who had already stepped into the Extraordinary level, was very willing to show the tattoo on his arm and take the initiative to teach these guys a lesson!
"But, who will the Stronghold Master receive today? I'm really curious. "
However, the old rookies were actually very curious about the welcoming ceremony today too.
It was because the six items, be it the Soul of Civilization or the offerings, were all obtained by Ji Ye alone.
Therefore, they didn't even know the level and quality of the offerings!
Hum!
In the Temple of Providence, the twin dragons appeared. After the settlement reached Rank-3, they were almost three feet long.
After they appeared, they began to spit out the power of providence at the Soul of Civilization and the offerings down below.
However, perhaps because the arrival of the heroes was too grand, the twin dragons of providence didn't activate three offerings at once.
Instead, they activated them individually. The golden light fell on the Refined mental power crystal first!
The transparent crystal floated in midair after being hit by the golden light, and an illusionary Mirage Monster appeared inside the crystal.
Then, an invisible wave of mental power swept out, only to be confined to the temple by the human power of providence.
Whoosh!
On the other hand, the Extraordinary Rank-2 Quasi-Commander Soul of Civilization also changed under the impact of the mental power.
Amidst the white light, it transformed into a blurry silhouette that walked toward the Mental Strength Crystal floating in the air step by step.
However, although the figure's face couldn't be seen clearly, judging from the figure, the one who chose to arrive was clearly a female!
"It's a female hero! That's … That's surprising! "
"I can't see her face clearly. But I already feel that she's full of divine aura! "
"That's right. I also think that this female hero must be very beautiful. Her figure can't hide her elegance even if she's hazy."
Looking at this figure, even the newcomers who were used to seeing sacrificial ceremonies revealed looks of interest.
"The three female generals of Liangshan are Hu Sanniang, the female yaksha Sun Erniang, and the female insect Gu. They're all pretty in the original novel … Could it be that the Stronghold Master is going to receive one of them?"
Elder Meng, on the other hand, stroked his beard in surprise.
"Well, that doesn't seem right. Theoretically speaking, a Commander-level hero might not be accompanied by a poetic announcement, but their arrival should be more spectacular … This one can't be a female general of Liangshan! "
It was the Quasi-Commander Soul of Civilization that was triggered by the power of providence, so the person who was summoned wasn't a real hero.
Because of that, there weren't any obvious biographical hints. It was impossible to tell who she was until she officially arrived at the Twin Dragon Mount fort.
Of course, in order to truly descend, he had to first pass the "sacrifice" stage!
Hum!
In the mental power crystal, the Quasi-Commander Mirage Monster's figure was vaguely visible. The Mirage Monsters were good at creating illusions and mental power blasts. Although they didn't seem to be abnormal, they were charging at the hazy female figure with all their strength.
If the female figure couldn't resist it, her arrival would undoubtedly fail.
It could be seen that the female hero was moving slower and slower under the impact, and her illusionary body wavered nonstop.
But in the end, she successfully reached the mental power crystal of the Extraordinary Rank-2 Quasi-Commander Mirage Monster and extended her hand to touch it.
Kacha!
The illusionary Mirage Monster inside the mental power crystal immediately collapsed.
Then, the entire crystal exploded in midair and, under the effect of the power of providence, turned into a streak of light and melted into the female Quasi-Hero!
The latter finally revealed her real face.
"It's … it's her!"
After seeing who arrived in the Temple of Providence, Ji Ye lost his composure, which was rare.
"Young Master!"
A voice that was even more pleasant than the sound of a guqin and reminded one of the lights by the lake echoed from the newcomer's mouth.
There was joy and excitement on her smiling face. Her waist-length black hair fell on her white dress, making her look like moonlight at night. She looked like a fairy, a ghost, and a human!
"She's so beautiful. Which female general is she from Water Margin?"
"Wait, she doesn't look like a character from Water Margin. Why does she look so familiar?"
"That's right. I feel like I've seen her somewhere before!"
The new players whispered to each other after seeing her.
"Ah, are my eyes deceiving me? That's Nie Xiaoqian! Right? She looks exactly the same as in the movies! "
At this moment, Mister Bug's eyes widened and he exclaimed.
"Awoo!"
Outside the temple, the husky, who had gained a lot of weight and reached Extraordinary Rank-8 but whose fur was still gray and white, also barked in excitement.
Then, it rushed into the Temple of Providence and charged at Nie Xiaoqian!
"Husky, you're here too? I thought I'd never see you again! "
When Nie Xiaoqian saw the husky pouncing on her, a look of surprise appeared on her face. She stretched out her warm hand and rubbed its head.
"Why is it Nie Xiaoqian? Also, her attitude toward the husky … Did she retain the memory of the Battlefield of Providence? "
Ji Ye was rather confused.
Although it was theoretically possible for Nie Xiaoqian to arrive after obtaining the keepsake, it was only a possibility.
After all, the Battlefield of Providence didn't have much to do with the Twin Dragon Mount fort. It was unlikely that Nie Xiaoqian would choose to arrive here, and it was unlikely that she would obtain the memory of the Battlefield of Providence!
"Well, unless …"
Ji Ye suddenly thought of a possibility.
Nie Xiaoqian herself should only be Extraordinary, so it was possible that she had already arrived …
But then, Nie Xiaoqian's settlement might've failed in the Ten-Species Competition and been destroyed like the Ren Hamlet.
He might've died because of that, so he was punished like Ninth Uncle, and all his memories about his original identity were gone.
However, it was also because he had the keepsake that Nie Xiaoqian gave him in the Battlefield of Providence.
Therefore, Nie Xiaoqian, who had arrived, gained new memories, which belonged to the Battlefield of Providence!
It meant that Nie Xiaoqian was, to a certain extent, the Nie Xiaoqian at this moment was the Nie Xiaoqian who promised to be his slave in the next life because he saved her!
Her vow seemed to have come true.
It was because Nie Xiaoqian had been transformed from the Soul of Civilization. She was no longer a soul but a real living person. She had essentially been reborn!
"Is this … a benefit?"
Looking at Nie Xiaoqian, who was walking to him shyly, an idea popped up in Ji Ye's head.
