Of course, he wasn't trying to piss him off. He was doing it on purpose. Who asked him to act as if he had robbed him? He was asking for a beating!
Gu Zheng had only wanted to look around. But now, he decided to stay here instead of leaving. In any case, this place was peaceful and filled with spiritual energy. It was the best place for cultivation!
Although Gu Zheng really wanted to go directly to Hope City in the middle, but after getting some information from the two demons who robbed him, he decided to return.
Although they spent most of their time in the middle circle, they had also been to the center. Not only was it prosperous, but it was also the way to leave.
When Gu Zheng first saw the information in his head, he thought that if he wanted to leave, he just needed to have enough cultivation. At worst, he could just fight his way up. Gu Zheng wasn't afraid of anyone.
But now that he knew about it, he knew that if he went alone, he would probably have to return with his tail between his legs.
If he wanted to leave, after the Dawn Tournament started, all Ancestral Gods with a certain number of points could participate, even if you were a wandering Ancestral God.
The two Ancestral Gods would be divided into two different camps. They wouldn't interfere with each other and would have their own competitions.
But compared to the Ancestral Gods of the Tribes, who only needed a certain number of points to participate, the Ancestral Gods of the Wandering Ancestral Gods required a lot of points. According to the two Ancestral Gods, if they wanted to accumulate enough points to participate in a tournament, they would need to do missions for hundreds of years. More importantly, there might not be any missions for them to do.
The Tribe Tournament was simple but also difficult. Since there were limited spots and many people participating, they would be selected based on the number of points they had.
Moreover, the Tribe Tournament was different from the Wandering Ancestral Gods' one-on-one battles. The Ancestral Gods and the Tribe Tournament would fight together. The Tribe Tournament would send out three people to fight alongside the Ancestral Gods.
If the Ancestral Gods seemed to be very kind in the beginning, they would protect everyone at all times. But after entering the arena, everything would be different.
Every battle here was a life or death battle. Only by surrendering could one avoid the enemy's pursuit. But there were still many people who couldn't control their moves and were killed after their opponents shouted out their surrender.
So even if one surrendered, one had to wait for the right opportunity or block the attack. One shouldn't expect the enemy to stop.
After the Ancestral Gods of the Tribes died, a total of three Ancestral Gods of the Tribes would be selected until the end of all battles. Of course, they could withdraw halfway.
All the rules of the competition were one-on-one tribal battles. If one lost this time, they would have no chance at all. Moreover, there was no balance. If they tied, both teams would be eliminated together.
Tribes with dead ancestral gods would be forcibly separated into several groups according to the size of the tribe. They would be scattered to the outermost regions and start anew.
Once there were fifty spots left, these people would be teleported away together with the remaining people on Wandering Elder God's side.
Wandering ancestral gods could only leave by themselves, but tribal ancestral gods could bring their own tribes with them. There was no limit to the number of people, but only those who had been in the tribe for more than five years were qualified. Affiliated tribes were not included.
Every time the teleportation array was activated, a few Elder Gods would perish no matter how careful they were. As for the tribesmen, they would suffer even greater casualties.
People from small tribes, for example, might be able to kill those experts in a single battle. Therefore, tribes without a certain scale were not allowed to participate in the battle.
However, this wasn't an unsolvable path for everyone. Otherwise, even a Quasi-Sage wouldn't be able to withstand the counterattack of so many forces.
However, any faction or individual, as long as they registered themselves as Ancestor Gods, would be able to leave with their faction when the teleportation array opened ten thousand years later.
Therefore, many people still found the opportunity to come here. At most, it would only take ten thousand years.
As long as they followed the rules here, the Quasi-Sage would welcome anyone. If there was something that inspired him, he would personally go and fulfill the wishes of the Quasi-Sage.
So far, there were three people who had made revolutionary suggestions that the Quasi-Sage felt were good. Two of them wanted to become the core disciples of the Quasi-Sage, and the Quasi-Sage agreed.
Therefore, Gu Zheng had no choice but to choose the fastest path.
However, before that, he had to strengthen his own tribe while he still had some time. Only then could he go to the central region together.
However, they also said that even a tribe needed some points. As for what it was, he still needed to know when an ancestral god took over. Once again, all the previous actions would be invalid.
Gu Zheng was curious about this. It seemed that he would have to activate that command medallion when he had the chance.
That's right, all the tribe missions were displayed on it. As long as he activated it, he would be able to see it with his divine sense.
However, Manager Feng forgot to mention that Gu Zheng acted as if he had a well-thought-out plan. Manager Feng thought that he knew everything here. Ren Jie didn't have the inheritance of the previous generation, so he didn't know anything about this.
However, most ancestral gods would check the token out of curiosity after receiving it. They wouldn't be like Gu Zheng, who didn't even take a look at it and didn't care about it at all.
At this time, Gu Zheng was given a chance. With so many people on the island, even if the Human and Goblin races were equally divided, his tribe would still grow by a lot. He could totally apply to leave this place.
However, the premise was that he had to reclaim all these tribes, and the ancestral gods had to give up their control over the tribes. This was indeed a headache. If only they were all the tribes he had met at the beginning.
Even if all the ancestral gods ran away, he was willing to bear all the responsibilities.
What a pity, what a pity!
Gu Zheng shook his head as he stuffed some fruits into his mouth. The sweet and sour taste was really refreshing.
The tiger-striped man saw that Gu Zheng was ignoring him, and his eyes gradually revealed a murderous look. Finally, he snorted and waved his hand. A gust of black gas was suddenly released from his hand and instantly came to the edge of the stream. For a short period of time, a layer of black mist completely blocked Gu Zheng's line of sight. Even his divine sense had to be interfered with first.
After doing all this, he went back angrily. He knew that this could only block the other party for a while. He couldn't do anything to the other side at all. After all, the mountain was over there, and there was nothing he could do here. He could only complain in his heart.
Opening his eyes slightly, Gu Zheng saw the scene beside him, and a proud smile appeared on his face.
The King of Beasts was still very irritable.
In the blink of an eye, another month had passed. During this time, Gu Zheng had been resting on the mountain with his eyes closed. However, he wasn't in a leisurely state like before. That was just to confuse the other party.
The layer of black mist on the other side had disappeared without a trace. He also didn't come out to release another spell. It seemed that he also knew that it was useless.
Even so, Gu Zheng still released a layer of illusion. If the other party didn't pay attention, they would still see the scene of Gu Zheng leisurely waiting for Ren Jie to report to him.
Because three days ago, Gu Zheng had seen Hai Ming and the other two return smoothly and report to Ren Jie.
On this day, Gu Zheng finally floated down from the mountain top. He also put away his little trick because the people sent by Ren Jie had all returned.
"Senior Gu!" Ren Jie saw Gu Zheng's figure appear beside him. He knew that Gu Zheng didn't need to call him ancestral god in front of outsiders.
"Speak, it seems that the situation isn't very good!" Gu Zheng looked at Ren Jie's worried face and knew at a glance.
"It's like this!" Ren Jie didn't beat around the bush and slowly told him the information he had obtained from both sides.
On this island, most of it was occupied by humans. Nearly two-thirds of the space was in the southern region. However, there were only six human tribes here.
And on the human side, except for them, which only had about five thousand people, the others had at least ten thousand people. Especially in the easternmost region, there was a large tribe with twenty thousand people. Its ancestral god was a late stage Jin Xian expert.
However, it was a pity that apart from this, the strongest ancestral god was only a middle stage Jin Xian expert and a tribe with ten thousand people at the early stage Jin Xian expert.
Although the remaining two tribes also had nearly ten thousand people, one of them was the tribe Gu Zheng had seen at the beginning. The ancestral god had already run away and it was estimated that it would soon become a masterless tribe. The other tribe's strength was too low and was about the same as theirs.
The last tribe was even more lamentable. They had a lot of people, but unfortunately, there was no ancestral god. In an accident, their ancestral god had already died outside. Unfortunately, at that time, they had already been informed to migrate. No one could change that.
There were only six tribes in total and they occupied a vast territory.
In contrast to the human side, although the Goblin region was small and there were many cliffs and mountain peaks, there were a total of nine tribes.
Among them, the strongest was the demon known as the Ferocious Tiger Tribe in front of them. It had a total of thirty thousand people and its ancestral god was a peak Jin Xian expert. Even in the City of Hope, it was an expert. However, it seemed that demons were not very good at managing tribes. Although the camp looked decent, it was a pity that in the eyes of these people, it was full of loopholes.
However, in this special place, it was not much of a problem.
However, there were also two tribes led by middle stage Jin Xian experts. They also had ten thousand people. The remaining six Goblin tribes only had an average of five thousand people. Most of them were early stage Jin Xian ancestral gods. Among them, there were two tribes without ancestral gods.
Of course, the most important thing was that there was a tribe full of beautiful snakes. Their ancestral god was actually a late stage Jin Xian expert. Moreover, the entire tribe seemed to be of the same race. This was very rare.
A total of nine tribes were crowded in such a small area. Moreover, the total number of people was twice as much as the human race.
After listening to the end, Gu Zheng was indeed a little embarrassed. Why were there so many people on the other side? Moreover, there were so many ancestral gods. He had to carefully consider it.
"Well, I know. You guys continue to maintain the status quo. First, give me the ancestral god token!" Gu Zheng did not know where to start. He first looked at the ancestral god token.
After waiting for Ren Jie to leave, Gu Zheng's figure flashed and returned to the top of the mountain. This was the most peaceful place. Moreover, there were no miscellaneous people coming up.
Holding the token in his hand, Gu Zheng instantly probed inside with his divine sense.
The moment he entered, Gu Zheng felt a layer of barrier preventing him from breaking through. However, it was not strong. As long as he had the cultivation of early stage Jin Xian, he could break through.
With a slight force, Gu Zheng felt his divine sense go into a trance. Then, he found himself in a space that was completely black on all sides.
It was pitch-black all around. There was no light at all. It made people unconsciously feel fear.
Just as Gu Zheng was feeling puzzled, a black light fell from the sky and enveloped Gu Zheng's divine sense. Before Gu Zheng could react, the black light disappeared without a trace.
However, at this time, in front of him, golden characters appeared in the air. Then, one by one, they arranged themselves in the air to form rows of characters.
There were dots of different colors in front of each row of characters. It seemed to indicate different missions.
"Attack a tribe of the same kind. Victory is worth 50 points."
"Attack a tribe of foreign species. Victory is worth 100 points."
"Submit all kinds of rare items. Reward points unknown."
Among them, the top three were only displayed in ordinary white fluorescent font. It was very eye-catching against the black background. There was no punishment for failure. It was as if they were ordinary missions encouraging him to attack the other party's tribe.
However, there were also words below. Unlike the white font above, they were directly silver. Moreover, the mission method had changed.
"Capture criminal Fan Cheng. Please go to the nearest intermediate administrator to receive the mission!"
"Wanted criminal Gu Xi. Please go to the nearest intermediate administrator to receive the mission!"
There were more than ten lines of arrest warrants for wanted people. Unfortunately, there was no information other than the name.
This was only the information in front of him. There were other colored words on the left and right.
Gu Zheng turned his attention to the right, because there was only one message.
"There are 13 years and 7 months until the final Dawn Tournament!"
"Participation requires 500,000 points. Please go to the City of Hope to register!"
At the bottom, 500 points indicated that Gu Zheng had accumulated. It was too shabby!
Looking at this, it felt as if this was a mission for the entire region. All the ancestral gods had to search for missions in the city or in their own tribe. This restricted their movements.
He didn't know how these missions were calculated, but the tournament would start much later than he had expected.
However, each attack mission only gave 50 points. If he counted the missions as every half a year, then he would only get 100 or 200 points a year. It would take a few thousand years to participate. It was too long. If he waited a little longer, he would be out.
Perhaps there were some things that could only be found out at a place like the Intermediate Manager.
In fact, that was what Gu Zheng thought. People like him called them managers, deacons, and supervisors.
Manager Feng was the lowest level. Even so, Manager Feng was a subordinate of the Quasi-Sage. His status was similar to that of an outer sect disciple. No one dared to look down on him.
The deacon was someone who called himself Manager Cheng, and Gu Zheng didn't point it out. As for the supervisor, there was only one, and that was the one who oversaw the City of Hope. He was the last disciple of a Quasi-Sage, a powerful late-stage Grand Heavenly Realm figure overseeing the city.
As he pondered, Gu Zheng looked at the other side. This side was shining with golden light. There were also rows of golden patterns on it. However, the first mission made Gu Zheng's pupils shrink.
"Seize the new island (This mission was issued by Manager Feng of Nanshui City. Only the ancestral gods on the island can see it!) There are no restrictions during the fight for the new island. If you evade, please leave in time. The reward is 100,000 points. "
No wonder there was such a rumor outside. It seemed to be true. In that case, although this new island was jointly owned by Xianmian and Nanshui City, if there was only one winner left on it, it was very likely that the dividing line would be moved away and the entire island would belong to that side.
However, what made Gu Zheng puzzled was that since the other side was willing to send a person who was at the peak of Jin Xian here, why didn't there be one here? Little did he know that Nanshui City originally had a candidate who had been teleported away some time ago. The person they recommended was Xifeng Island to replace them to complete this mission. That was why they had the second option. Otherwise, there would only be the first option.
If Xifeng Island completed the mission, they would also be rewarded. If they failed, there would be no punishment. It was definitely a good method to kill many birds with one stone.
Gu Zheng looked down again. The second day's mission seemed to be similar to the previous one, but in fact, there was a difference.
"Defeat the same race. The reward is 1,000 points."
"Defeat the other race. The reward is 2,000 points."
.....
There were still many missions below, but they were no longer able to attract Gu Zheng's attention. When he saw something that he didn't pay much attention to, he was ready to leave.
Behind him, the originally pitch-black area was occupied by a mass of white light. Gu Zheng's mind moved, and all his consciousness withdrew from this place.
A gentle breeze blew past, and a slight chill swept past Gu Zheng's body. His Spiritual Sense returned to his body once more.
In the distance, the people of Xifeng Island were still busy. Some new houses were being built. Although they didn't understand why they were doing this, they still obeyed Ren Jie's orders and began to prepare.
Looking at the token in his hand, Gu Zheng also knew why there were so many battles. He also knew why the ancestor gods went out alone. In fact, they were all tied up by the points.
And those ancestor gods, on the one hand, could train their own people. On the other hand, they could also train themselves.
However, wasn't this the purpose of their coming here? To train in a slightly safer place, it was better than accidentally dying in the wilderness.
Gu Zheng's mind kept flashing with the information he had heard. He quickly thought about some things.
First of all, those simple missions didn't need to be accepted at all. Unless there were some special missions, such as seizing the other party's territory, or having a death feud with the other party, he could issue a kill order. These had to be approved by the higher-ups.
Naturally, he didn't care about these small points. The purpose of training his troops was more important than practical. At the very least, he had to conquer other tribes before he could take them seriously. After all, the token only had a portion of the missions. There were more missions that could earn points that could only be accepted in the city. There were even some unique missions that could only be found in the City of Hope.
Some of the things that could be handed over could be exchanged for a lot of points. However, only the major factions would do this. Only idiots would do this. After all, people of this level would have anything good on them.
Therefore, the most eye-catching missions on the token were the most worthwhile. Moreover, they were relatively similar to his goal. As long as he worked harder and thought of a way to chase these demons away, then this island would belong to the south.
However, it was likely that the other party had the same mission. With such a good piece of land, both sides wanted to belong to him. It was likely that these managers were secretly competing with each other.
Gu Zheng quickly thought through the matter and understood what he had to do first. Then, the token in his hand instantly turned into a beam of light and disappeared in front of him. Since he had already seen it, there was no need to look at it for a while. He would return it to Ren Jie first. After all, if there was an emergency, Ren Jie could contact him.
His figure flashed and disappeared from the top of the mountain. He had to hurry up and start moving.
