Chapter 70 Faith Connection
  Yujing Church, Headquarters Temple.

Pushing open the heavy door of the conference room, Ji Xiu saw in front of Ji Xiu a very chronological conference hall with simple and elegant decoration.

At the top is a vaulted ceiling with the blue flag representing the country of Yu Jing printed on it. The walls of the conference room are inlaid with marble-carved murals, which depict the heroic figures in the historical stories of Yu Jing. It was they who created Yu Jing. the country's most glorious era.

Among them are the previous divine warriors.

The sun shines on the floor through the windows, casting mottled light and shadow over time.

The wall lamp in the corner emits soft light, illuminating the entire conference room space.

In the center of the conference room is a rectangular conference table. The tabletop is covered with silk tablecloth and embroidered with the blue badge representing Yu Jingshen. The table is surrounded by nanmu seats, and the backrests of each seat are There are badges on them that symbolize status.

After arriving at the seat belonging to the great envoy and sitting down, Ji Xiu began to wait for his old friends to arrive.

This time, in the name of the Great Divine Envoy Xia Gengzhu, he notified the members of the Divine Heritage Team to come to the meeting.

Among them, Wu Mo and Satu had the task of guarding the outer sea and did not have time to inform them. The last time they met was at Zuo Yi's promotion ceremony to become the high priest.

Not long after, Lei Yan's figure arrived first.

I saw a ray of blue ball lightning entering the conference room, and the people sitting next to him gathered together and nodded towards him:

"Brother Xiu."

After saying hello, Lei Yan didn't ask anything.

Ji Xiu was not in a hurry and planned to explain the findings of the investigations over the years after the five members of the Divine Heritage Team arrived.

The time came to 1 p.m.

Four people, Leyi, Daxing, An'an and Dingtian, arrived. Among them, Anan was brought by Leyi. As soon as he arrived, he lay down on the conference table and began to fall asleep.

As soon as he sat down, Leyi looked at him eagerly and asked:

"Brother Xiu, I finally got your information. By the way, where has Zuo Yi gone? Isn't it too revealing for us to discuss Zuo Yi's plan here?"

Hearing these words, Ji Xiu smiled and shook his head:

"Don't worry, at least in this timeline you will never see Zuo Yi again."

"What do you mean, Zuo Yi was killed by you?"

The news that Zuo Yi is guarding the high wall is not known to the outside world except for him and the core team members left behind by Zuo Yi.

Facing everyone's puzzled looks, Ji Xiu began to talk about the results of his investigations over the years.

When he heard that the Black Hole Organization was founded by Zuo Yi himself, Le Yi couldn't help but angrily said:
  "I knew there was something wrong with this guy. At that time, I thought he had taken refuge in the Black Hole God. It turned out that he wanted to become a god himself."

"Don't worry, listen to me first."

As Ji Xiu continued to talk, the anger in the hearts of everyone present dissipated.

Only then did they know that behind Zuo Yi's decades-long plan, it was for the sake of Yu Jing's country and the continuation of human civilization.

Especially when they learned that Zuo Yi finally chose to sacrifice himself and turn into a god of fear to guard the high wall, they could not hide their shock.

When Ji Xiu finished telling all the information, the expressions of Lei Yan and others looked very complicated.

Don't they know that the Yu Jing Kingdom is declining, and the resource areas in the outer seas have been shrinking over the years, and have been plundered by foreigners.

Zuo Yi's choice was more like a bet in a desperate situation.

Ji Xiu's eyes swept over Lei Yan and others, and asked the doubts in his heart:
  "I have always been curious about a question. If Zuo Yi confesses the truth to you, will you choose to stand by his side and accompany him to advance this plan?"

Lei Yan, who had always been silent, shook his head:

"When you told me, I was already thinking about this issue and asked myself whether to sacrifice the future or the present. I think I will stand on the opposite side of Zuo Yi."

"Brother Yan, why?" Leyi turned to look at Lei Yan with a curious expression, his eyes full of confusion.

Lei Yan couldn't help but sigh:
  "Zuo Yi's choice is a bet, and it is my Yu Jing's future that is at stake. I can't see whether this plan will succeed, and the members of the Shenyi Team like me are shouldering the responsibility of guarding the present, and risking Yu Jing's future. Taking risks is contrary to the responsibilities entrusted to us by Xianyu Jingshen... This may also be the reason why the sacred tree opposes him."

"If it were me, I would choose to support Zuo Yi's plan. No future is far more terrifying than witnessing decline. So what if the Yu Jing civilization can continue for another hundred years. Compared with seeing the road ahead at a glance, I would rather work with Zuo Yi. Take a gamble on the future, and you will either face destruction in the turmoil, or survive the darkest moment and usher in a new future." Dahong also expressed his views at this time.

"I... forget it, I don't know what to choose." Leyi sighed in despair.

"I give up too." Dingtian raised his hand.

At this moment, there were obvious differences of opinion within the Shenyi team. Only An An, who was still sleeping on the conference table, did not express an opinion.

Ji Xiu can completely understand that the members of the Divine Heritage Team have different ideas from each other.

The question of whether to sacrifice the present or the future was an unsolvable problem in the world before he traveled.

Many problems are placed on oneself, and they have completely different views on others.
  The same goes for putting this issue in Yu Jingguo.

If Zuo Yi said in public that I will sacrifice your generation in exchange for the happiness of future descendants, it would inevitably attract protests and rebuke from the people.

The vast majority of people prefer to give a solution that "believes in the wisdom of future generations".

To be sure, there are people who are willing to support Zuoyi, but after all, they are a very small minority.

The most important thing is that Zuo Yi's plan has no clear answer. It is a huge gamble on Yu Jing's future.

At this moment, everyone was silent.

After a long time, Leyi raised his head and looked at Ji Xiu:

"Brother Xiu, or another way to lead the rise of the Yujing civilization. In the past, we only had one choice, but now we can restart time and have the ability to change the future. We don't have to choose a way to create fear."

Ji Xiu couldn't help but shake his head after hearing these words:
  "We can't change it. Even if we go back to the origin of time, we only have four years. If Zuo Yi hadn't transformed into the God of Fear and went to the high wall to guard the cracks, Yu Jingguo would have faced an unprecedented disaster, and the Kuroshio natural disaster would turn everything into nothingness. "

In Ji Xiu's eyes, Zuo Yi's sacrifice was an unchangeable necessity.

Even if time is restarted, creating the God of Fear is an important node that must appear in every timeline. Only in this way can there be a future.

If Zuo Yi did not incarnate as the God of Fear to delay time, Yu Jingguo would only have four years to develop, and this time would not change anything at all.

Not to mention the development of various civilization technologies in Zuoyi's conception.

Unless Yu Jingguo can create the technology to repair the cracks in the high wall within four years, or have a power comparable to the God of Fear to guard the cracks in the high wall instead of Zuo Yi.

But these ideas simply cannot be realized.

Before Zuo Yi formed the Black Hole Organization, he didn't want to find a method that would have no sequelae and would not cause harm to Yu Jingguo.

But as he said before guarding the high wall:
  "Why don't I want the perfect ending that Shenshu and the others are looking forward to, but such perfection only exists in stories. Expectations cannot change the future. Without sacrifice and death, the ideal Yu Jingguo can never become a reality. The long night before the arrival of hope Doomed to endure darkness.”

Behind this sentence is Zuo Yi's emotion after countless failed attempts.

After listening to his explanation, Leyi couldn't help but sigh:

"Then can we find a way to absorb the power of fear without affecting the development of Yu Jingguo?"

"Zuo Yi obviously wants to know the answer to this question more than you do. Choosing to gain the power of fear by creating turmoil is also a choice he made out of desperation." Daxing glanced at Le Yi beside him and said with a speechless expression. Xiu expressed his thoughts.

"Understood, if we want to lead Yu Jingguo to rise in the future timeline, but in the fourth year after the opening of each timeline, Zuo Yi needs to sacrifice himself to build a high wall and give Yu Jing a chance to develop. Buy time, and we must acquiesce in Zuoyi's release of pollution sources in five major cities in the first four years, and the use of black hole organizations to assassinate those who oppose him and create turmoil."

After listening to Leyi's analysis, everyone fell silent again.

With limited time, this no longer seems to be a multiple-choice question.

Either it will be destroyed in four years, or it will acquiesce to Zuo Yi's behavior and let him transform into a fear god to guard the high wall after absorbing enough fear power and gain more development time.

Wanting to allow Zuo Yi to absorb enough power of fear while abiding by the sacred duty to protect the people of Yu Jing is a problem full of contradictions.

It is possible to obtain the power of fear by spreading fear to the outside world, such as forming a force like the Thousand Faces Organization, sending organization members to the outer sea, and spreading fear in foreign countries. However, with Yu Jing's current strength, he simply cannot do that. at this point. How to break the situation, even Lei Yan, who has always been very assertive, fell silent.

Le Yi slapped the table at this moment:
  "Don't worry about this problem for now. Brother Xiu is about to become the high priest. Should we continue to move forward on this line, or choose to restart and come back again?"

"Of course we should continue to push forward and choose a civilization technology to focus on development. At least we need to know how many years Zuoyi can guard the cracks in the high wall. Let's see how much development time we have before we face the Kuroshio natural disaster." Daxing said. Express your opinion at this time.

Da Xing's idea coincides with Ji Xiu's.

Even if time is restarted, the first four years still have to be carried out according to Zuo Yi's plan to create the God of Fear.

Starting from the fourth year, it was the stage where they led Yu Jing to rise.

Therefore, it is the right choice to witness the future as much as possible.

Unknowingly, Ji Xiu found that he had become a member of Yu Jing's country and began to think about how Yu Jing's future should develop.

Although he had already realized that he could not escape when he saw the information in the mysterious ruins, he initially did not want to face the challenge head-on, and was forced to get to where he is today due to the coercion of the situation.

Over the years of studying with Zuo Yi, my mentality has quietly changed.

For some reason, in the face of challenges and pressure, he felt motivated.

Challenges include the development of civilization, the threat of foreign enemies, the challenge of finding new resources...and even the ultimate challenge of the Kuroshio natural disaster.

Perhaps only by leading the Yujing civilization to defeat the Kuroshio natural disaster can we truly break the situation.

Stimulate!

The meeting lasted until early morning.

With the support of Lei Yan, Ji Xiu decided to be promoted to high priest as soon as possible, and then lead Yu Jing to rise in the direction planned by Zuo Yi.

As for the opposition when he was promoted to high priest, he didn't need to pay attention at all.

The team left to him by Zuo Yi are all senior members of the Saints Group and Yujing Church. The other two great envoys Duan Ming and Xuan Ba ​​have resigned from their positions as great envoys. In addition, with the support of Lei Yan and other members of the divine heritage team, they have been promoted. There may be a lot of doubts when the high priest is here, but there is no real resistance.

And his first step after taking charge of Yu Jingguo was to choose a civilized technology as the key development direction in the future.

Ji Xiu already had a plan in mind as to how to choose.

Yu Jing's domestic excavations found 47 types of relic civilization technologies, 17 of which have been initially understood, but there are only four civilization technologies that are actually applied in reality, namely technology, alchemy, life, and elements.

Compared with other civilization technologies that have never even been tested, these four civilization technologies are already in the initial stage of development.

He decided to choose one of these four civilization technologies as his first choice to challenge the Kuroshio natural disaster.

Before that, he decided to spend some time conducting more detailed research and interpretation, and discussed with senior officials of prehistoric research institutes in major cities to find a reasonable plan.

half year later.

Ji Xiu stood in the central tower of Qishen Square as Xia Gengzhu.

In the past six months, Ji Xiu summoned the team left behind by Zuo Yi and told them that he wanted to be promoted to high priest.

Upon hearing the news, none of Zuo Yi's remaining team members were surprised, and had even prepared for this day.

Xiang Ming even asked him directly if he wanted to kill Duan Ming and Xuanba who had appeared during Zuo Yi's promotion ceremony to prevent them from causing trouble again on the day of the promotion ceremony.

In response, Ji Xiu felt ashamed and decisively refused.

These two former great envoys had resigned from their positions as great envoys after Zuo Yi was promoted to high priest, went to Beijing City to live a retired life, and no longer participated in Yu Jing's future decisions. Ji Xiu felt that there was no need to kill them all.

Duan Ming and Xuanba's series of actions against Zuo Yi were essentially for the future of Yu Jingguo.

Only because they and Zuo Yi chose different paths did contradictions and conflicts arise, but the ultimate goal is the future development of Yu Jingguo.

This is also the reason why Zuo Yi never takes action against Duan Ming or even Xuan Ba.

So he stopped Xiang Ming's idea of ​​assassinating the two former great envoys.

Xiang Ming was a knife left to him by Zuo Yi.

Before following Zuo Yi, Xiang Ming was the military general stationed in the outer sea of ​​Yu Jingguo.

His achievements in the outer seas were very impressive, enough to be recorded in the history of Yu Jing. During a battle for resources to support the alliance, he was hit by the power of a low-level primitive god, was seriously injured, and almost died.

An An, who also participated in the battle, rescued him and saved his life. However, Xiang Ming, who returned to Yu Jingguo, was paralyzed and lost his ability to move.

It was Zuo Yi who used the energy of fear to reshape his body functions and return him to normal. Therefore, he learned about Zuo Yi's plan and finally chose to become a hidden knife in Zuo Yi's plan.

In Xiang Ming's words, he did not choose to follow Zuo Yi because of the gift of reinvention.

But after understanding Zuo Yi's plan and knowing that Zuo Yi's choice is the most correct path for the future, he will risk his life to follow it.

……

Before the promotion ceremony begins, all clergy enter the room and begin to set up formations.

Standing on the central tower, Ji Xiu is wearing a golden robe that represents the status of the high priest. The birth of this robe can be traced back to the peak period of Yu Jingguo. It was made from materials plundered from the treasure troves of foreign tribes outside the sea. The color will also change with the ambient temperature. From the deep night sky blue to the hot sun gold, each color represents an ambient temperature.

The hem of the broad robe is also embroidered with complex runes and mysterious patterns, which emit a faint golden light under the sunlight. It constantly detects energy fluctuations near the wearer and activates energy barriers at any time to defend against sudden attacks.

Each of the ten fingers wears a symbolic ring. In Yu Jing's teachings, this is both an honor and a shackle to oneself.

Around his neck is a divine ring given by God Yu Jing, and around his waist is an exquisite golden belt with several prayer stones inlaid on it.

This outfit had a profound meaning, but Ji Xiu felt more heavy.

This is too grand!

Before the ceremony started, Ji Xiu glanced at the crowd surging outside the square and began to read out his promotion declaration.

During this period, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

During the reading process, Ji Xiu's mentality also changed.

The process of swearing an oath to the people of Yujing was also an oath to himself. The expectant eyes of the people outside the square fell on him, as if it was a heavy burden on him, making Ji Xiu feel pressure he had never felt before.

After finishing the reading, he glanced at the clergy standing in the square, and then said solemnly:

"The prayer ceremony begins!"

After the words fell, the priests who had been prepared for a long time released their power at the same time, driving the golden formation under their feet to lift into the air. Thousands of divine envoys recited the ancient Yu Jing oath in unison, and their voices turned into beating golden characters and merged into the formation. The golden light converged towards the divine ring around Ji Xiu's neck, and eventually turned into golden characters that were imprinted on Ji Xiu's body.

During this process, Ji Xiu could clearly feel that his body was changing.

It's like lying on a bed of warm water, your body gradually relaxing under the bath of golden energy.

At this moment, a message suddenly popped up in his mind:

[Successfully establishing a faith connection with Yuan Xueying, you can complete your own wish power goals through the believer, or help others complete their wish power goals to obtain wish power (this believer connection does not lock the natal soul body, and can only be used when the soul transfers to Xia Gengzhu's body, The believer connection will disappear if conditions change). 】

Number of believers: 372642
  ……

The number of faith connections floating in my brain continued to increase, and soon reached one million.

What the hell!
