On the other side, after Ren Jie saw Gu Zheng go in, he stopped for a while. Seeing that Gu Zheng had no other orders, he left. He still had good news to tell his people, so that they wouldn't be so worried.
Now that they had a new ancestor god, as long as it was certified, it would completely belong to them as their protector.
Before that, some things needed to be prepared. After all, the huge statue needed a lot of things, and some auxiliary things.
It just so happened that those captives could be exchanged for a large number of materials, enough for them to use, with more than enough to spare.
.....
About half a day later, in the sea not too far away from Xi Feng Island, there was an island ten times bigger than it.
A figure hurried back from the distance, but when it approached the island, it landed on the ground and hurried to the center.
However, compared to West Feng Island, most of the island was high mountains and hills, and less than 20% of the area was plains. Even so, the usable area was still much larger than West Feng Island.
In this plain area, there was a very simple looking city. The whole city was made of rocks and was very rough. Between the rocks, there was a lot of gravel that was added later. It was forcibly blocked by someone, and it looked like it was made in a rush.
The figure rushed into the city like a gust of wind, and after a while, it hurried out from the side door, and ran from the side to the mountain peak at the back.
Around the city, there were many stone houses that looked like villages gathered around it.
Behind the city, there were low and uneven mountain peaks, with caves opened up, and from time to time, people could be seen going in and out.
In the center, there was a very flat staircase, from the bottom of the mountain peak to the tallest mountain peak at the back.
At the top of the mountain, it had already been completely remodeled by someone. It was covered with an unknown black crystal that was spotless. Different symbols and lines were hidden on the black crystal. They were connected and combined with each other to form a very beautiful pattern.
In the center, where the pattern finally converged, there was also a huge statue of ten feet tall standing in the middle.
Compared to the slightly simple statue on West Feng Island, this statue was not only more exquisite, but the materials used were more advanced.
A burly man held his head high, looking into the distance with a domineering aura. He was wearing a set of very exquisite armor, and the little patterns on it were carved clearly. However, this person's face was covered with a half-carved carved mask, making people unable to see his face clearly. The only thing certain was that on his forehead, there was a three inch long horn sticking out, making people feel a little strange.
At this time, there were many people kneeling around the statue, all with their hands on their chests, eyes closed, and mouths murmuring, as if praying for something.
With the buzzing sound in the air, it became louder and louder, the black light on the black statue became brighter and brighter.
The ceremony continued for another hour before the black-robed priest slowly stopped and stood up from the ground. Only then did everyone else stand up one by one.
"This time's prayer ceremony has been successfully completed. Everyone, please return. Next year, it will be at the same time." The high priest instructed in a deep voice.
"Yes, Lord High Priest!"
The people below were all dressed in black robes, but there were golden stripes on the High Priest's robes, so they were really just ordinary black robes. After hearing the High Priest's words, they all went down the mountain in an orderly manner.
Soon, there was only one person left on the mountain peak, and the High Priest stood there, thinking about something.
Outside, the cold wind constantly whistled, but once it reached the top of the mountain, it was blocked by an invisible shield, and even the whistling sound could not be heard.
However, this silence was quickly interrupted by a series of footsteps, and it was obvious that someone was rushing over.
The High Priest frowned and looked to the side, which was the only entrance.
One had to know that on this island, everyone was forbidden to fly, except for the Ancestor God, and no one was an exception, unless it was a matter of life and death.
A figure suddenly rushed up from below, and seeing the High Priest standing there looking at him with cold eyes, cold sweat immediately flowed down from his head.
"What's the matter, why are you so flustered? What if you disturb the Ancestor God?" The High Priest frowned and said.
Goblin were called demons by the humans here, because they could not change back to their original form, and it was not considered a way to provoke them.
Moreover, they also had a so-called Ancestor God, after all, the Quasi-Sage did not think that there was anything wrong with Goblin having an Ancestor God, and he welcomed more people to perform divinations for him.
Here, Goblin and humans had the same status, and on the surface, no one dared to bully the other.
"I'm sorry, Lord High Priest, I just have something to tell you." Hearing the High Priest's cold and emotionless voice, his body suddenly shivered, and he hurriedly apologized.
"Alright, we can talk about it later, let's go down first, and talk in the pavilion at the mountainside." The High Priest waved his hand, and then led him down.
Halfway up the mountain, there was a specially opened area, and from this height, one could overlook the entire first half of the plains, and it was also the High Priest's favorite place to stay.
"Alright, tell me what you have to say, did you fail your mission?" The High Priest sat in the pavilion, and although he spoke, his eyes were still looking down.
Hearing the High Priest's question, he hurriedly said, "Lord High Priest, I didn't fail my mission, the other party has already agreed to our suggestion, and agreed to work together, if we need any help in the future."
"Isn't that good, but why do you look so anxious?" The High Priest took out a tea set from nowhere, and then gently brewed tea.
Soon, a rich tea fragrance floated in the air, to be able to drink tea here was a kind of luxury, after all, most of the things here were supplied from outside, and the production here was at most some basic food and some fruits that were suitable for this place.
Even common animals could not be casually killed here, and were mostly treated as ornamental objects.
There were many rules that bound everyone, and no one dared to go against them openly, because no one could hope to get away with it, and the lesson of blood in the past was enough to serve as a warning to many people.
"It's because I happened to meet on the way back …" He quickly explained what he had encountered.
"Isn't it just a failure? Since you provoked someone you shouldn't have, then you deserved to die. Dying in a war, no one can say that you're wrong, and wouldn't you have surrendered at the last moment? What a waste of the ancestral god's power. Kui Qiang, go back and inform His Highness Bo Shuo, and then prepare the supplies, the other party's people will be here soon, and bring back the soldiers who are still alive. "
The High Priest's hand paused for a moment, and then he took another sip of tea, and said indifferently.
He knew about this operation, and before he left, he specially came to ask for a shower, but he didn't expect to be disrupted. But it didn't matter, it wasn't like he had never failed before, and there were always some self-righteous heroes who came to be the savior, so he let them be.
"But here's the crux of the matter, His Highness Bo Shuo has disappeared from the castle, and I asked around, but no one knows where he went," Kui Qiang said with a sad face.
The first thing he did was to go back and look for him, and when the ancestral god wasn't around, everything here was handed over to him, and then he was accompanied by a few auxiliary personnel to manage the tens of thousands of tribes with him.
This was because in their large tribe, there were also seven ancestral god tribes that had joined them, and they still had their own incense, but when they worshipped the ancestral god above them, they could strengthen the power of the ancestral god title, and further increase the upper limit of the ancestral god's power.
Currently, through this unlimited combination, the ancestral god's cultivation could be raised to the peak of Jin Xian, but once the number of people decreased, they would fall back to the late stage of Jin Xian, and no matter how much they accumulated, they wouldn't be able to break through the limit of Daluo.
Even if all the transvestites and humans worshipped together, it still wouldn't work. This was an experiment that the quasi-sage had personally tested.
But this wasn't the main point, and the main point was that His Highness Bo Shuo looked like a ten year old child, and something seemed to have happened to him in the past, causing his body to not fully develop, and his mental growth was extremely slow. Speaking of which, he was about the same as a twelve year old boy, which was why the ancestral god brought him in, to seek something very precious.
That thing was in the hands of the administrator, and this time, it had been included in the rewards for this victory, and just a while ago, the administrator had announced the rewards for this victory.
So, they promised to give the other side some things, and secretly helped them.
But the ancestral god's most precious son had actually disappeared, and this caused the priest to break out in cold sweat. That was the lord's precious son, and if the news spread to his son, he would be punished.
"On this island, how could he disappear just like that? Is it like the previous few times, hiding deep in the mountains?" The priest hurriedly asked, losing his previous demeanor.
"No, this time he disappeared on his own, and he didn't even bring along his most beloved Little Black, and he even secretly drugged him. It seems that he already knows that Little Black is one of us." Kui Qiang hurriedly said.
Little Black was actually a breed of wolf, and was also a Little Goblin that was about to transform. But since it was here, it could only maintain this form until it left.
First, search this island for me, and don't let anyone know. Secretly search for him. There is one more thing I need you to do. Prepare a group of elites and search for him on land. I have a feeling that he has been planning this for a long time, and there is an 80% to 90% chance that he went to land. In the past, he always wanted to go ashore, but without the lord's permission, how could we let him go? "
The priest stood up and hurriedly arranged for Kui Qiang.
"Yes!"
Kui Qiang immediately replied and hurriedly left.
Even though the priest was anxious, he could only stay here and watch as Kui Qiang's figure entered the city. Soon after, some figures left for other parts of the island.
A few figures also left the shore and headed towards the main road.
.....
As for Gu Zheng, not long after he entered the courtyard and waited for Ren Jie to leave, he waved his hand continuously. Streams of green Qi were released from his hand and turned into small green flags in the air. Then, they landed in the corner of the courtyard and disappeared.
When the last green flag landed on the ground, a green shield suddenly appeared above the courtyard, firmly guarding the entire courtyard.
The green barrier quickly dimmed and hid itself in the air, leaving no trace behind.
After doing all this, Gu Zheng sat down cross-legged in the courtyard and closed his eyes to regulate his breath.
This time, he wanted to see if he could compress the black fog in his body. Otherwise, he would feel insecure.
Especially after knowing that the average ancestor god here was at least Jin Xian's early stage, Gu Zheng's sense of crisis became even more intense. Although he had used his power to scare off the enemy, that was a situation that could not be avoided.
Although there were no battles here, and no one would kill innocent people on the surface, if one's weakness was exposed, everyone would still approach and tear a piece of flesh.
Three days passed quickly and Gu Zheng finally opened his eyes. However, his expression was still not good.
This was because Gu Zheng had thought that he could not deal with the black fog with his full strength because he was restrained in the turbulence. However, from the looks of it, Gu Zheng had underestimated the other party's methods.
Even if it was only attached to the remnant consciousness, the power it could exert was definitely not something he could resist.
Fortunately, he had severely injured the black worm. The remnant consciousness of the other party had been sealed by the giant tortoise and had been greatly weakened.
After three days of hard work, he had compressed the black fog to one-third. In the end, he could not get rid of the other party no matter how hard he tried. He could not even seal the other party again. At present, he could only squeeze it all in one place.
He enveloped the black gas in layers, gathering them all together.
This way, he could exert the strength of Jin Xian's intermediate stage. At the critical moment, he could forcefully unleash a wave of power. However, he could not use it for too long. Otherwise, the black fog would attack his body again.
However, Gu Zheng did not go out. Instead, he took out a book from his chest. The light on it had dimmed a lot.
After the forced overload last time, the Human Book had not returned to normal. It could only use some of the most basic defensive functions. As for taking its life, it was better not to think about it for now.
He didn't know how long it would take for them to recover. This was also why Gu Zheng hadn't used it in the previous battles. Otherwise, Ling Feng and Ling Yu would have died by the time he knew their names.
After looking at it for a long time, Gu Zheng took it back. He still needed it now. He could only slowly nourish it.
This time, something appeared in his hand. It was one of Gu Zheng's few spoils of war. It was the imitation of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Shield that he had 'taken' from Young Master Qi.
With Young Master Qi's death, the traces he had left behind slowly disappeared. This also saved Gu Zheng the trouble of erasing it.
Now, it lay quietly in his hand, waiting for its next owner.
Of course, Gu Zheng didn't hold back. Even if this thing was a replica, it was still a type of shocking power. Gu Zheng had personally experienced it.
Therefore, Gu Zheng did not hesitate to take it for himself.
A layer of flame rose from Gu Zheng's hand and quickly engulfed the entire Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Shield. The whole courtyard was illuminated in red.
.....
Another half a month passed. This time, Gu Zheng finally walked out of the courtyard.
The initial refinement of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Shield was successful. As long as he familiarized himself with it, he would be able to unleash its greatest power.
As soon as he came out, a young man stood guard outside and shouted respectfully to Gu Zheng.
"Ancestor God, Patriarch Ren is looking for you. He asked me to stand guard here. Once you come out, I will inform you!"
"Okay, I got it!" Gu Zheng wanted to look for him. Therefore, he let him lead the way and returned to the village.
After going back the way he came, Gu Zheng quickly arrived at the village.
After more than ten days of repair, the traces of the previous battle could no longer be seen in the village. Even some of the potholes on the ground had been covered up and leveled.
At this time, the village was bustling. Many people came and went in a hurry. However, as soon as they saw Gu Zheng, they would stop what they were doing and respectfully greet Gu Zheng.
"Ancestor God!"
Then, they would continue to do their work.
Gu Zheng knew that the residents here, including Ren Jie, were all aboriginals. There were even many aboriginals in the mainland.
There was no other way. The human population was growing too fast. However, the space here was huge. Even if the current population increased by ten times, there would still be more than enough space. At most, it would just consume more resources from the outside.
Gu Zheng continued to follow the young man outside. When they came to the seaside, Gu Zheng saw Ren Jie who was still busy. Beside him, many people were escorting captives in full swing.
Although it was said to be escorting, they were not tied up. It was just a few people ordering them. The captives obediently walked into the cabin without any resistance. Some even walked to the bow of the ship spontaneously. They seemed to be looking at the water to see if it was suitable to leave the ship.
For this group of people, if the ship accidentally capsized, they would probably die in the water. They did not have enough strength to swim back to the island.
"Ancestor God, Patriarch Ren is there. I will go back first!"
"Okay!"
The young man also said to Gu Zheng. After getting Gu Zheng's answer, he hurriedly walked into the village.
At this time, Ren Jie was still there watching. Because the sound of the wind and the tide was relatively loud, no one saw or heard what happened behind.
It was the captives who discovered Gu Zheng's existence that attracted Ren Jie's attention. Only then did he discover Gu Zheng's arrival.
"Ancestor God!"
Gu Zheng looked at the young man who shouted to him respectfully. He felt helpless. He could not stop the young man. He could only smile and nod. Then, he walked to Ren Jie who was at the side.
"Ancestor God, you came at the right time. These captives are about to be sent to Hei Feng Island in exchange for some things," Ren Jie said to Gu Zheng.
"Well, I heard you were looking for me?" Gu Zheng nodded. He understood these things.
If this side was defeated, the villagers would probably be like them. They would obediently go in by themselves. However, their fate would be to be enslaved until someone was willing to redeem them.
Even if no one was willing to fork out the money for them, they would be free after 20 years. They would return to the mainland and be separated by the administrator. They would be integrated into other tribes.
As for their ancestor God, they would be severely punished. As for what it would be, they would not know.
"I would like to ask, after you officially confer the title of ancestor God, what kind of gift will you bestow upon us? Magic? Summoning or blessing? Now that our supplies are not so complete, we can exchange for some corresponding materials. "
