The Dark Lord was a mid-level Divine Power with a Level 11 Divinity. His abilities had undergone a qualitative change. Any of his clones would have a Level 5 Divinity, comparable to a Weak Divine Power.
Moreover, all of his clones could master all of his Priesthoods, which was equivalent to a Weak Divine Power True Body. Lin Xiao's current clone would definitely not be able to defeat him.
If he could not defeat him, he would naturally have to run. Taking advantage of the fact that the Dark Lord needed some time to descend, Lin Xiao quickly communicated with the teleportation circle in the underground cave that he had dug in the second level of the Underdark. The space was distorted and quickly swallowed him up.
A God's Hand that was shining with golden light waved its hand before it disappeared. The space turbulence caused by the teleportation and the traces of its existence were wiped away. The underground returned to its calm state, leaving only corpses all over the ground.
After a long time, endless darkness rapidly gathered in the void, turning into a pitch-black lightning bolt that suddenly struck down. A loud voice was roaring.
"Who dares to provoke the great Dark Lord!"
A pressure that could suffocate mortals suddenly descended. An extremely tyrannical and terrifying will swept through the ruins. Seeing the corpses of the drows all over the ground, the terrifying will instantly boiled like a pot of boiling oil. The anger could be clearly felt even ten kilometers away. The creatures hidden in the darkness within the range trembled when they felt the wrath of the God.
However, Lin Xiao had already left. Even the traces left behind had been wiped away. Only the powerless rage of the Dark Lord was left.
"Boom!"
Golden light fell from the sky, sweeping through the area within ten kilometers like a tide. The rocks, underground plants, and creatures were swept by the golden light and were quickly annihilated.
Universal Extraordinary Divinity ability — Area Divine Power Shock Wave.
When the golden light dissipated, a basin that was hundreds of meters deep had been blasted out by the furious Dark Lord within ten kilometers of the castle of the duergar.
In the underground cave, Lin Xiao waited for a whole month before he and Jonila reopened the seal. The first thing they saw was the burning flames in the tribe of the crypt men not far away. The God's Eyes of Truth naturally had allowed him to clearly see the drows who were burning, killing, and looting.
Although the drow patrol team in Riel Dayra was wiped out by him, there was more than one drow city in the third floor of the underground world. This was obviously a drow from other places.
These cavemen had no resistance against the Drow patrols, and they were unable to resist. They hid in the underground caves, but these Drow collected many underground plants and piled them up at the entrance of the cave. They used the smoke and fire to smoke out the cavemen below or suffocate them to death.
Some Drows summoned water elementals to fill the hole with water and poison. Soon, little blackened gnomes floated up.
None of the crypt men resisted because they couldn't resist at all.
The crypt men were too weak. With a body size of less than one meter and a naturally weak physique, they couldn't even beat a human teenager of the same size. They had no decent weapons in their hands, so it was impossible for them to cause any harm to the drows.
At this moment, Lin Xiao saw a one-sided massacre. Jonila, who was at the side, clenched his giant axe, his eyes full of anger.
Lin Xiao sighed, and the staff in his hand stopped. He stretched out his right hand and waved his finger. The space in front of him was torn apart, and a blazing breath came out.
Soon, the light door opened, and a huge flame head came out of it. Seeing Lin Xiao in front of it, the fire elemental, who was about to roar, immediately shut its mouth.
This was an elite fire elemental, which was equivalent to a top professional above level 15 in this world.
In one breath, he summoned five or six elite fire elementals and dozens of large fire elementals to form a huge moving sea of fire that surged forward. The towering flames immediately attracted the attention of the Drows. After a whistle, the looting Drows quickly gathered into a team of about a hundred people, and then slowly retreated.
There was no benefit in defeating a group of fire elementals. Instead, there would be great losses, and there was nothing they needed here. As long as the drow had a normal mind, they would choose to leave.
After saving this tribe of crypt men, Lin Xiao didn't show up. He just let the fire elementals patrol around the tribe to prevent the drow from coming back.
Now the anger of the Lord of Darkness hadn't completely dissipated. If the drow priests recognized him, he was afraid that they would come immediately, and then it would be troublesome.
Lin Xiao didn't go to other places to save other tribes of crypt men. He was too busy to do anything by himself. This time they could only rely on themselves.
A month later, the traditional robbing period of the drow ended. The patrols of different drow cities in the Underdark gradually left, leaving behind the devastated tribe of crypt men.
In the next six months, the crypt men would quietly clean up their homes, replant crops, and reproduce their people. Half a year later, when the crops were ripe, it would usher in a new round of robbing by the drow. The cycle repeated itself.
At this moment, Lin Xiao had already made up his mind. He would establish faith in this weak race and protect them. In the end, he would use the power of this race to become a god in this world. He would then integrate into this world and become a member of the Pantheon.
Although the crypt men were quite weak, the power of faith they provided was pitifully small, not even one percent of the power of ordinary human beings. Even if there were more than one billion of them, no god would be willing to shelter them.
If there were enough of them, the power of faith would be considerable. At least it would be no problem to maintain a new god. But still, the crypt men were too weak. They had no fighting power at all, and their lifespan was short. Even if they weren't killed by the drow, their total lifespan was only a little more than ten years. If they accepted this race as their main faith race, a lot of gods would worry about how to protect them every day.
The income was completely disproportionate to the investment.
So if Lin Xiao wanted to become a god based on the crypt men, he had to change this situation. At least he had to find a way to make the crypt men have a certain fighting power.
He already had a certain draft for this, and he was just waiting to implement it.
When the drow retreated, Lin Xiao removed the summoned fire elements, but he didn't show up. Instead, he took the tauren Jonila to find a place in an underground mountain a few kilometers away from the tribe and dug a cave to live there for a long time. He also collected some dead bodies of the crypt men for research.
The book "On How to Get the Recognition of a Strange Race in a Different World" had a detailed explanation of various ways of first contact. Lin Xiao chose one of them.
In the next six months, he paid attention to these crypt men rebuilding the tribe while studying the body structure of the crypt men. At the same time, he was also preparing.
The cave was expanded by him, and he set up a magic array to prevent the breath from leaking out. Then he used space magic to widen the interior again. Then he took out a set of top alchemy equipment from the six-color Rubik's Cube to study the body structure of the crypt men.
At this moment, he didn't need to use the Rubik's Cube anymore. The knowledge of the Creation Priesthood was enough for him to easily see through the deep structure of the cells of the cavemen. Given some time, he could change the body structure of the cavemen by himself and make them stronger.
But at this stage, he could only strengthen a limited number of cavemen. If he wanted to transform the whole race of cavemen, he had to become a god in this world, and he had to have the two priesthoods of Creation and Cavemen. Otherwise, he couldn't change the whole race.
Time passed unknowingly during his research. Half a year later, the drow patrol came again, but this time they just attacked the tribe of the crypt men. Lin Xiao appeared and summoned a blizzard that covered several kilometers, which directly scared the drow patrol away.
This time he didn't hide, but directly appeared in front of the crypt men in the image of the crypt men.
The experience of countless predecessors could prove that when opening up the faith of a race, if you transformed into the appearance of the race, you could maximize the efficiency of collecting faith, especially for a weak race like the crypt men.
When Lin Xiao transformed into a two-meter-tall, super-strong Crypt Man and appeared in the Crypt Man Tribe and summoned a powerful blizzard to chase away the Drow, at this moment, he felt hundreds of weak lines of faith that were almost undetectable.
It was because the crypt men were too weak, and the power of faith they provided was too small. It was also because their faith was not firm enough at the beginning. Now they were just general believers.
But he wasn't in a hurry.
After that, he didn't go anywhere else and stayed in this tribe. After driving away several drow patrols, the lines of faith in the divinity gradually became stronger and were no longer as broken as before.
Time gradually passed, one year after another.
Lin Xiao hadn't taken the initiative to spread faith in the tribe of the crypt men, but every six months when the drow raiding team came to sweep, he would come out and drive the drow raiding team away. If there were drow raiding team that didn't give up, he would not be stingy and kill them with Thunder's Wrath.
This situation lasted for six years. The original crypt men had become old crypt men. Few crypt men lived more than three years old. At this time, there were a large number of crypt men in this tribe who lived to seven or eight years old.
At this time, Lin Xiao's experiment, after six years of research, finally re-modulated the genes of the crypt men with his own ability.
It was still a crypt man, but he used the method of creation to remove the redundant and useless genes in the crypt men, and then extracted useful genes from the drow, gray dwarves, trolls, ogres, and even Hook Horrors, and other underground monsters. After reprogramming, modifying, and integrating them into the genes of the crypt men, he made them as strong as possible without greatly changing the appearance of the crypt men.
The reason why he did this was mainly to not change the race of the crypt men.
If the modification was too big, the modified crypt men would not be crypt men, and it would be a lot of work to change a crypt man.
After a small modification, the crypt men would not be very strong, but they would retain their most important reproduction speed to ensure that the race would not change. This would be more low-key and would not attract the attention of other gods.
No god was willing to protect the weak crypt men, but if the crypt men had the fighting power of human beings and had a higher reproduction rate than human beings, it would definitely attract the attention of a large number of true gods. At that time, he would not be able to protect this race.
