"Yes, it's a holiday. What about you? Are you here to train too? "
"No, I'm here to carry out military duties."
"Yes, I remember that those who performed well in the summer camp for the super freshmen would be selected to join the military. You and Dragon Emperor were both selected."
Gu Cheng seemed to understand and did not think too much about it.
They chatted for a while until his companions whispered that they were going to eat something. Gu Cheng took the opportunity to say to him,
"We're going to eat something. Do you want to come along?"
Lin Xiao smiled and nodded.
"Sure!"
A few of them were stunned. His answer was probably out of their expectations.
In a restaurant that specialized in grilled exotic meats, a group of people gathered together. The table was filled with exotic ingredients. Delicious Wind Snake meat, Tabu Lamb barbecue, Poached Blue Fish, Butter Salmon, Spore Barbecue, Spicy Lobster, and so on.
After all the dishes were served, before they started eating, the restaurant manager brought three plates of Storm Ribs that still had small lightning bolts on them and said to Lin Xiao, "This is our specialty.
"This is the specialty of our humble restaurant. Please have a taste."
Everyone looked at him in surprise. The store manager explained, "That's right.
"It's free."
Everyone looked at Lin Xiao. The petite Dai Lingtong asked,
"Looks like you're doing well here."
Lin Xiao waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's normal.
I'm only in charge of about 20 people. "
"That's not normal. If you're in charge of more than 20 people, you should be a captain or vice-captain."
"Yes, yes."
He vaguely skipped the topic.
More than 20 True Gods were still more than 20 people …
Although it was a little strange at first, they were all young people. After they got to know each other better, they were not so reserved.
Even if Gu Cheng and Tang Ling had an ordinary relationship with him in the past, so much time had passed and everyone had grown up. There was no deep hatred between them, so they had long forgotten about it.
After eating, they exchanged contact information and parted ways.
After turning a corner, Lin Shiyi, the guard, stood there and reported the information of Gu Cheng and his family in a low voice.
He didn't have any other intentions. He just wanted to understand their situation.
"A scholar who has been away for three days must be looked at with new eyes. I haven't seen him for a few years. Not only did he enter the Radiance Super Academy, but he also developed well in the army. Now, he's already a captain. If he continues to develop at this rate, there's a high chance that he'll be able to become a god in the future."
Gu Cheng recalled the scene when he first met Lin Xiao and sighed emotionally.
Many young men and women were speechless when they heard this. Their expressions were complicated, especially those who knew Lin Xiao.
After returning to the command center, Lin Xiao sank his consciousness into the Fortune Cube and continued to adjust the genes of the fifth generation Subterrane Dwellers.
Compared to the previous generations of Subterrane Dwellers, the genetic modification of the fifth generation Subterrane Dweller was much greater. This was also the last time the Subterrane Dweller would undergo such a modification.
After all, this wasn't his own Realm of the Gods minion, so there was no need to pay such a high price to adjust it. It was already very powerful, and further adjustments would consume too much energy.
It wasn't that it wasn't worth it. The main thing was that if they continued to make adjustments, it would affect the Subterrane Dwellers' reproduction rate.
Currently, the Subterrane Dwellers had already reached the limit of the balance between their reproduction rate and their individual strength. If they continued to increase their reproduction rate, it would definitely decrease drastically.
He didn't need to create a new powerful race, so this was the most suitable state.
Just as he was concentrating on how to increase the strength of the fifth generation Subterrane Dwellers without affecting their reproduction rate or without affecting them too much, another major event that had a huge impact happened in the Underdark.
It was unknown if it was because it wasn't satisfied with the current progress, or if it was because the Subterrane Dwellers' strength was increasing too quickly that the Mind Flayer God was a little worried. One day, after besieging the Dark Lord's God Kingdom for many years, the Mind Flayer God suddenly revealed his trump card. Four unknown mid-level divine power incarnations with Level Six Divinity and more than 30 god incarnations suddenly appeared in the Dark Lord's God Kingdom. They killed the remaining two incarnations of the Dark Lord in a way where both sides suffered heavy losses, forcing the Dark Lord's true body to awaken.
At this point, the Dark Lord was in a desperate situation.
Although his true body had super strong combat power in the God Kingdom, and the Dark Lord could borrow the power of the God Kingdom to fight against 50 to 60 incarnations of the True Gods alone, this in itself meant a huge risk.
It should be known that True Gods usually wouldn't get injured, but once they did, it would definitely involve the Divine Fire and the God Soul. This was very difficult to recover from. Many True Gods were in deep sleep after being injured, and they would sleep for hundreds or even thousands of years.
He could borrow the power of the God Kingdom to defeat 50 to 60 incarnations of the True Gods, but he would definitely be injured. Once he was injured, it would be quite dangerous in the current situation.
Don't forget, there was still a mid-level divine power on the surface whose Divinity was obviously stronger than the Dark Lord's.
Although the four incarnations had suffered heavy losses and died in battle, they definitely came prepared and could reform their incarnations in a short time. When that time came …
After Lin Xiao was silent for a long time, his only incarnation quietly left the hiding place with a few of his subordinates' incarnations. They headed to the fifth layer of the Underdark … the sixth layer below.
Legend had it that the sixth layer of the Underdark had many Abominations and ancient evil creatures that had been banished from ancient times. They were extremely terrifying existences that even True Gods didn't dare to touch.
Lin Xiao took a huge risk and went down. Of course, it wasn't because he was curious about how the Abominations and ancient evil creatures looked like, but …
He passed through the fifth layer of the Underdark from a place extremely far away from the Dark Lord's God Kingdom. At this moment, all the incarnations of the Gods in the Underdark were gathered in the Dark Lord's God Kingdom. His true body's attention was also focused there, so no one noticed him sneaking over quietly.
He led a dozen True God's incarnations and followed the spiral stone staircase into a deeper layer of the Underdark. As soon as they walked out of the passage, they saw a stalactite forest that was dozens to hundreds of meters tall in front of them. It was filled with spider webs that were as thick as fingers. A giant spider with many glowing green human heads on its back was sitting on the spider web. They came down just in time to meet the monster's compound eyes.
In the next second, one of the subordinates stretched out his hand and summoned a thick bolt of golden God's Lightning to strike the giant spider. Countless tiny bolts of golden lightning spread out and formed a golden lightning web that froze the giant spider on the spot, making it unable to move.
Another subordinate grabbed a long golden spear that was as thick as a wrist and threw it fiercely. In an instant, the energy in the void rapidly gathered as the spear was thrown. By the time it hit the target, it had turned into a golden lightning javelin with a diameter of several meters and a length of hundreds of meters.
In an instant, thunder rumbled, and thick golden lightning flew out, blasting the surroundings into a mess.
This was an Abomination, the weak kind. Its strength was between level nine and level ten. The two True Gods' incarnations were unable to put up any resistance and were killed on the spot.
Before leaving, Lin Xiao took the corpse of this Abomination and the giant spider web. These were all top-notch materials.
Next, one of the subordinates in the team who had the divine title of a thief concealed the team's aura that was leaking out. The group entered the ether plane and silently crossed the dangerous sixth layer of the Underdark.
The so-called ether plane was the protective membrane of the inner plane. It was filled with gray fog all year round, so it was also called the shadow plane.
Mortals could enter the ether plane temporarily through spells or divine spells to avoid attacks in the real world. However, they could not enter the ether plane for a long time. Otherwise, they might be captured by the ether plane and be unable to escape.
They were all true gods, so naturally, they could enter and exit the ether plane for a long time.
Generally speaking, Abominations also had the ability to enter and exit the ether plane. However, most of the time, Abominations would not constantly observe the situation in the ether plane. Therefore, as long as they were careful and did not get too close to those powerful Abominations or ancient evil creatures, they would not be discovered.
The terrain of the sixth layer of the Underdark was very similar to the karst terrain on the surface. Moreover, because the Abominations and evil creatures living here were too powerful, even the famous Black Dragon in the Underdark was a small fellow here. It would change the terrain at any time, causing the terrain here to be very strange.
More than ten days later, they crossed a distance of thousands of kilometers and arrived at a certain area. This place was not very far from the God's Kingdom of the Dark Lord on the upper layer.
The team gathered on top of a U-shaped stone pillar that hung upside down from the dome. Lin Xiao started to assign tasks and got them to spread out and wait.
Of course, the person they were waiting for was the Dark Lord. He definitely did not come all the way here to see the Abominations and evil creatures.
According to his assumption, if the Dark Lord was forced into a dead end and had no choice but to escape, the most likely direction of escape would be the sixth layer of the Underdark.
Although this layer was filled with Abominations and evil creatures, and there was no lack of terrifying big fellows that ordinary true gods could not defeat, to the Dark Lord, this was definitely a better place to escape than the fourth layer above.
Even if one used one's knees to think, one would know that the gods in the Underdark were now eyeing them. Many of the weak true gods were probably making preparations with their real bodies. Once he escaped to the fourth layer from the God's Kingdom, he would definitely be surrounded by the gods.
Although the Underdark was dangerous, the Abominations and ancient evil creatures living here would not deliberately surround him. As long as he was careful and hid in the depths of the sixth layer of the Underdark or took the risk to enter the seventh layer, he might be able to avoid this crisis.
Lin Xiao was not sure if the Dark Lord was thinking this, but the probability was relatively higher here.
Time passed day by day, and the sixth layer of the Underdark was extremely quiet. After tens of thousands of years, the Abominations and ancient evil creatures here had already divided their territories. If there were no external forces, there would be very few fights. The truly crazy ones had all died long ago.
After an unknown period of time, Lin Xiao, who was sitting cross-legged on top of a stone pillar, suddenly heard an angry roar from the soul level. He raised his head abruptly and saw that in a certain direction, the void space was distorted and filled with expansion. Closely after, a dark golden divine power light ball that emitted an extremely powerful aura leaped out from the expansion.
"It's really here!"
He quickly stood up, took a step forward, and disappeared.
When he appeared again, he was already several kilometers away. He happened to see a figure enveloped in dark golden divine light pressing down on the ground within a radius of several hundred meters with one palm. The hundred-meter-thick rocks turned into dust and flew into the air.
Sensing Lin Xiao's appearance, a will that was filled with pressure looked over. The Dark Lord immediately recognized him and snorted coldly.
"You want to take advantage of the situation? You're courting death!"
