The identity of the Seed of Light, the second day of the Oracle War begins! (5800)

Chapter 434: The Identity of the Seed of Light, the Second Day of the Battle of the Oracle Begins! (5800)

Cao Xing looked dumbfounded at the prompt in front of him.

" Ah? Teacher Guang, what happened? "

" How come I didn't even make a move, and you suffered such heavy losses all of a sudden!? "

You must know that an 8% progress was no joke!

Last time Cao Xing cleared out so many camps, it only amounted to 1% progress, but this time it directly increased by 8%, which was almost comparable to the loss caused to the Church of Light by snatching the [Radiant Chapter].

He felt endless doubts in his heart.

" Strange, who on earth did this? "

" Did the old king of the Ice Crystal Kingdom find an important stronghold of the Church of Light? "

" Or… did my trick of deflecting the disaster eastward last time take effect? The demon faction has already started fighting the Church of Light? "

Otherwise, he really couldn't think of any other forces targeting the Church of Light.

Although he didn't know what happened.

But Cao Xing liked things where he could get rewards just by lying down.

" Haha, how comfortable… "

" It directly increased the progress by 8%, and with 6% more, it will reach 30%. "

" Whether it's the Ice Crystal Kingdom or that group of demons, keep it up and fuck the Church of Light, Aoligei! "

Cao Xing was extremely happy in his heart.

Because according to what the system said, as long as this quest reaches over 30%, that old fellow God of Light will have no possibility of coming out.

In this way, he wouldn't have to worry about the threat of such a false god!

And through this matter, an idea arose in Cao Xing's heart.

" After this Battle of the Oracle ends, my strength should increase by a huge margin. "

" And the currently known most powerful existences of the Church of Light are the archbishops and the alien ghost army. "

" With my current strength, such seventh-tier Dominion-grade creatures are already enough to handle. "

" And once I redeem all the Master-level Heart of Power, in terms of Master-level combat power, it should be enough to crush the Church of Light. "

" After all, the masters under my command are not ordinary masters! "

" And those powerhouse-level archbishops can also be left to the Dragon Speaker to deal with. "

" Then can I take the initiative to attack and deal with the Church of Light? "

" Taking advantage of the fact that the God of Light hasn't come out, directly annihilate this force and make this old fellow never come out again! "

As his thoughts turned, Cao Xing had already made a decision!

A trace of coldness appeared in his eyes.

Before this, with the Church of Light as his enemy, Cao Xing had always been developing in a low-key manner.

After all, this force was simply too massive with numerous members!

And through this period of development, Cao Xing was about to possess combat power surpassing them!

It was estimated that no one could imagine that someone could develop enough strength to contend against an entire church in such a short time!

After all, that was a force built personally by a deity with exhausted efforts.

Therefore, if Cao Xing made a strong move on his side, he could definitely catch the Church of Light off guard!

Of course, the premise was being able to find the lair of this force.

A thoughtful look appeared in Cao Xing's eyes, " Speaking of which, last time I used the Wind Beacon magic scroll to mark the locations of those humpbacked giant eagles. "

" But the distance they flew exceeded 3,000 kilometers, which had already exceeded the maximum sensing range of the Wind Beacon. I could only vaguely sense the direction they flew away in. "

" It seems that after this battlefield ends, I can follow the direction those humpbacked giant eagles left to find these guys' lair. "

After this Battle of the Oracle ended, there were also many things Cao Xing needed to do.

First was naturally the action to tame the Griffin King. This Griffin King was related to two consecutive quests, and one of the quests even had the [Dragon Taming Rein] as a reward.

Then it was heading to Eternal Frost Main City to digest honor points, redeem that Legendary dagger—death gods dagger, and obtain the authority for the large teleportation array.

Then stop by the location of that treasure map to take a look; it was said that it involved the inheritance of a Legendary mage.

After that, it was the ancient battlefield.

The number of undead in there was too large, and there were many terrifying existences.

Previously, Cao Xing couldn't beat these undead.

But after this Battle of the Oracle ended, Cao Xing's strength skyrocketed by a large margin, giving him even greater confidence to deal with this ancient battlefield.

Besides that, there was dealing with the Church of Light and finding the location of their lair.

Thinking of this, he had a plan in his heart for what he needed to do next.

Then, Cao Xing glanced again at the two kinds of rewards he had just obtained for free.

Needless to say about those two [Expert-level Emblems], he had already obtained them once before.

They could increase proficiency by 5,000 points.

Counting the one he didn't use up last time, the three emblems in his hand combined could directly increase proficiency by 15,000.

It could make Harold's proficiency skyrocket by a huge margin.

Coupled with the fact that this time's meritorious service shop also had 10 [Expert-level Emblems] available for exchange.

Cao Xing calculated in his heart: " Counting my reserves in hand, it's a total of 13 Expert-level Emblems, which can directly increase proficiency points by 65,000. "

" And according to what Harold said, going from Expert to Master requires 50,000 proficiency points. "

" That is to say, when I go back this time, I can even max out Harold's proficiency directly! "

" Breaking through to Master is just around the corner! "

Thinking of this, his mood became even better.

Aside from the reward of these two emblems, there was another reward.

That was a pure white helmet.

Holding it in his hand was like holding a piece of holy radiance.

The helmet had smooth lines, and the delicate texture on the surface was like ripples of light, with a brilliant orange burst embedded right in the front, like the sun under the setting sun.

" This helmet looks quite good in appearance. " Cao Xing said in admiration.

Then he glanced at its attributes.

[Battle Helmet of the Ode of Light (Orange)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Equipment Level: Level 70]

[Armor: 432 ~ 448]

[Attached Special Effect ①: Spirit +300, Physique +200, Hit Rate +20%]

[Attached Special Effect ②: Light Protection Retribution (Damage received by the head is reduced by 40%, and when an enemy attacks your head, reduce their Spirit by 100 points)]

[Attached Special Effect ③: Mind Stabilization (The power contained in the helmet allows you to resist mental bewitchment, and within 30 seconds, immune to abnormal states such as bewitchment, confusion, hypnosis, etc., including Legendary-grade abnormal states, Cooldown: 120 seconds)]

[Note: One of the components of the Ode of Light Set, can form a set effect with the Ode of Light Battle Armor, Bottoms, Battle Boots, Bracers, and Belt]

[After collecting all six pieces of the Ode of Light Set, the set effect: 'Overture of Light' will be activated.]

…

" Huh? It turns out to be a six-piece set? "

Cao Xing's expression was somewhat surprised.

This was the first time he had obtained an orange six-piece set.

Moreover, this thing had a very high equipment level, requiring a full level 70 to wear, which was at least Master-level max level!

" According to this projection, next for the S-rank quest [Uproot], for every 10% breakthrough, it should give a component of the Ode of Light. "

" When it reaches around 70% progress, I can directly gather this Epic six-piece set. "

" How pleasant… "

And this also made Cao Xing even more determined in his resolve to fuck over the Church of Light after the Battle of the Oracle ended.

Carrying a pleasant mood, he closed his eyes again and began to rest.

…

…

At this moment, the headquarters of the Church of Light had become a mess after the fierce battle just now.

Just now, the power of the God of Light erupted, sweeping away the vast majority of demons and demon slaves.

Under that sun-like radiance, almost all the demons were vaporized in an instant.

In the end, only that demon resembling a young child and that other farmwoman escaped under this terrifying power.

This battle seemed to be a major victory for the Church of Light.

But they also paid a heavy price in casualties.

The corpses of the many white-robed priests and red-robed bishops with miserable deaths on the ground explained everything.

As for that young man, he sat paralyzed on the ground, still shaken.

Before he could recover his wits.

The angry voice of the God of Light exploded in his ears!

" Tell me! What is going on! "

In the entire underground palace, the remaining members of the Church of Light suddenly fell silent like cicadas in winter, prostrating on the ground trembling with fear.

That young man on the ground practically scrambled and crawled over to the side of that statue.

He respectfully knelt and prostrated on the ground, hurriedly saying: " Lig… Light God Venerable, it… it's that group of demons! "

That terrifying will immediately roared angrily: " I know these guys are demons! "

" I am asking you, how did you provoke them, and how did this group of demons find the location of the headquarters? "

Amidst his panic, the Seed of Light hurriedly spilled everything about Sullivan leading the alien ghost dominion to attack that demon cave and beheading the demon lord's vessel.

Hearing this, the will of the God of Light seemed to fall silent.

A moment later, He asked with a tone of extremely deep anger.

" Didn't I tell you to focus your attention on the border region recently and deal specifically with the Ice Crystal Kingdom? "

" Who allowed you to act on your own accord and go look for trouble with that group of demons? "

" Shen Shengjie? "

Hearing the God of Light call his name directly, the face of the Seed of Light had already turned pale!

He explained tremblingly: " Lig… Light God Venerable! I was just thinking that we could get back our Radiant Chapter as soon as possible! "

" I don't know what happened either. Clearly the place Sullivan went to was the location you mentioned, but the demons inside seemed completely unaware of this matter! "

" Under the alien ghost dominion's blunder, they accidentally killed the demon lord's vessel… "

Hearing this, the God of Light fell silent for a moment.

That terrifying anger also seemed to dissipate a bit.

After all, He indeed had some responsibility in this matter.

If He hadn't told the Seed of Light that location.

The Seed of Light wouldn't have dispatched Sullivan to deal with the demons in that demon cave either.

However, the God of Light vaguely felt that this matter was somewhat strange.

As deities, even without their divine godheads, their thinking remained extremely acute.

After thinking for just a few seconds, the God of Light instantly realized something.

That will said in a low tone.

" Perhaps, we have all been fooled! "

"The one who snatched the Bright Holy Scripture was not that group of demons at all, but someone else."

Hearing this conclusion, the Seed of Light was first blank with confusion, and then its expression changed drastically!

"How is this possible?!"

After all, prior to this, all the clues they had gathered pointed to that group of demons.

Now the God of Light was saying that the previous direction was completely wrong, and it wasn't done by the demons at all!

Doesn't this mean that their entire Church, along with the God of Light, had been played for fools?

The young man on the ground asked with a trembling voice: "Respected God of Light… If not those demons, who else could it be?"

That will fell into deep thought at this moment.

"I don't know. I have been awakened from my slumber twice in a row, and my divine power has been heavily consumed."

"Right now, I can no longer use methods to deduce the true culprit."

"After I slumber for a while longer and recover my divine power, I will pay the price to use the 'Wheel of Light' once to find the enemy's specific identity."

"Right now, what you need to do is relocate the headquarters address as soon as possible."

"For the next period of time, I hope there won't be any accidents."

The Seed of Light also understood the gravity of the situation.

"I understand, respected God of Light. I will lead people to evacuate immediately!"

As the words fell, that will quickly fell silent.

On this night.

The Church of Light changed its headquarters address overnight.

Meanwhile, the two escaped demons concealed themselves in the dark corners, watching for an opportunity to seek revenge a second time!

…

…

The next day.

Around six o'clock in the morning.

The boiling energy across the entire Crystal Land gradually subsided!

Soft light burst forth from the statues of the four goddesses, making all the Survivors feel a sense of mental clarity.

Everyone opened their eyes one after another.

The system prompt appeared once again.

[Attention Survivors of the five factions, the second day challenge of the Battle of the Oracle · Crystal Blooming is about to begin. Please prepare…]

…

The Survivors of the four factions couldn't help but complain.

"Damn it, still five factions! Everyone else gets one faction each, this system is truly outrageous."

"Haha, this system is indeed a bit outrageous."

"Brothers of the Wind Faction, today depends on you. Continue to hold back Great Lord Cao Xing for us, and the organization will remember your contributions."

The Survivors of the Goddess of Wind Faction were already unhappy yesterday, and upon hearing this guy bring it up, they grew even more furious!

"Damn it, you guys just gloat here. When this Cao Xing goes to your faction, let's see if you can still smile."

"Exactly, exactly. Let's see how you guys block him then."

Just at this moment, a Survivor named Falco said: "Heh… This Cao Xing won't be arrogant for long."

"If he dares to appear within the range of our Wind Faction today, we will definitely make sure he never returns!"

Hearing this, the other Survivors were slightly startled.

They seemed somewhat surprised at who this person named Falco was, daring to utter such words.

After all, the combat power Cao Xing displayed yesterday was plain for all to see—it was simply terrifyingly strong!

Even a legion of one or two hundred thousand was easily defeated by him.

Yet Falco said he would make Cao Xing never return; could it be that he already possessed even stronger power?

Soon, someone answered their doubts.

"This Falco is the commander of the Silver Bullet Legion, and also the former number one legion of District 20."

"It is said that he has united top legions from other districts of the Wind Faction and is preparing to hunt down Great Lord Cao Xing today!"

"Hunt down Great Lord Cao Xing?"

"Yes, not just the Wind Faction; the other three factions all have this idea. They want to unite everyone's strength to take down Cao Xing first."

"In this way, this Cao Xing will be equivalent to being kicked out of the game early, and the position of first place will change hands!"

Hearing this, the Survivors of the four factions nodded in realization.

Because judging by the current situation, they might actually succeed!

After all, through yesterday's review, they had discovered one thing.

That was that Cao Xing dared not deal with too many Survivors at the same time.

At most, it was a Survivor legion of two to three hundred thousand in scale, and he also needed the cover of the Branded Monster army.

Even someone as strong as Cao Xing would not dare to rely on the thousand or so men under his command to forcefully confront a legion of hundreds of thousands; after all, the gap was too vast.

If the top legions gathered on the side of the four factions were numerous enough and made targeted deployments,

no matter how strong Cao Xing's power was, he wouldn't be able to stir up any major waves.

For a moment, everyone who learned of this gossip felt a sense of anticipation in their hearts.

Yet there was another group of people whose hearts were somewhat worried.

They were precisely the Survivors from the former District 17.

Having followed Cao Xing all the way, they had also witnessed his rise.

In their hearts, they had already regarded this man as a symbol of invincibility.

If so many people targeted Cao Xing this time, it might truly shatter his myth of invincibility.

Even though Cao Xing had gone to the opposing fifth faction now, they still didn't want to see such a thing happen.

Meanwhile.

Cao Xing's side received three messages.

They were sent respectively by Yao Yiming, Ji Xinyue, and Bai Zhi.

The content of the private chats was: telling Cao Xing to be careful today.

The Survivors of the four factions seemed to be preparing to unite to deal with him.

Seeing the reminders from the three of them,

a trace of a smile appeared at the corner of Cao Xing's mouth.

"Interesting, getting ready to deal with me together?"

"According to what they said, they have formed a large-scale alliance and then made targeted layouts against me!"

"It seems someone doesn't want me to secure this first place peacefully."

"However, if you want to deal with me, you better also be prepared to be wiped out entirely by me!"

In his eyes, a strong fighting spirit gradually emerged!

Regarding the upcoming siege, not only did it not make him feel fear, but instead it made Cao Xing gradually excited.

[Survivor Cao Xing, please note! The second day's Battle of the Oracle has begun. Your crystal teleportation count + 5…]

…

Seeing the prompt that followed, Cao Xing's eyes lit up once again.

"Huh? Another 5 teleportation chances!"

"How comforting…"

You must know that Cao Xing relied on this crystal teleportation function to achieve highly mobile combat.

Moreover, this function not only allowed him to speed up the acquisition of points, but also endowed him with incomparable survivability.

It could be said that under the condition of sufficient teleportation counts, he was essentially born in an invincible position.

You guys want to besiege me?

Even if I can't beat you, I'll just activate teleportation and run away. How are you going to fight?

Thinking of this, Cao Xing had even less need to worry.

Meanwhile.

The city gates of the four main cities swung wide open!

But this time, compared to yesterday's swarming rush, the formation of the Survivors became much more orderly.

After a night of integration, many large-scale forces had already appeared within the four main cities.

For instance, the [Shadow Breaker Legion] where Angelina, ranked second on the leaderboard, was located, united with several other legions in her district, directly forming a large-scale force with a scale exceeding 500,000 people.

Wang Tao, ranked third on the leaderboard, similarly united several powerful legions in the Goddess of Order faction.

He formed a massive force with a population exceeding 400,000.

Including Omar ranked fourth, Lu Wei ranked fifth, and others, they all carried out the same actions.

Although large-scale legions of over a million people had not yet appeared, looking at this situation, it wasn't far off either.

The powerhouses formed alliances with each other.

And weaker lords could likewise huddle together for warmth.

They each established their own legion channels and let the strongest Survivor lord among them act as the commander-in-chief.

Then each legion commander issued orders within the legion channel.

The purpose was to receive prompt rescue from the alliance when encountering danger, and to cooperate to obtain more points.

"Tread, tread… tread, tread, tread…"

"Rumble~!"

The dense sound of footsteps rang out once again, and the earth trembled continuously.

Alliance armies composed of various Survivors, like dense ant troops, moved across the purple Crystal Land!

Meanwhile.

The live broadcast room appeared with images once again.

The outside Survivors had long been eagerly waiting, and now they finally waited for the moment when the live broadcast opened.

In an instant, bullet comments flew across the screen!

"Whohoo! The live broadcast has started again!"

"Not bad, not bad. Fighting monsters, farming, watching live broadcasts—this is the life a lord should have."

"I've already let those Arctic People go outside to gather resources, while I sit in my Lords Cabin cracking melon seeds and watching the live broadcast. So comfortable…"

"I'm different. I'm holding a cook girl while watching the live broadcast—even more comfortable."

"Good grief, do you guys all play this fancy?"

…

Besides these bullet comments, there were also some Survivors watching the live broadcast who constantly switched perspectives.

The camera swept continuously across the vast Crystal Land, seeming to search for something.

And when they saw that team of figures surrounded by a massive amount of Branded Monsters with shocking momentum,

they instantly stopped switching!

Then, looks of surprise simultaneously surfaced on their faces!

"Brothers, I saw Great Lord Cao Xing. It seems he is still at the crystal stronghold over at the Goddess of Wind Faction side today."

"Hahaha! Why does this Cao Xing always stay there? Is he planning to hound the Survivors of the Goddess of Wind Faction relentlessly?"

"It seems the brothers of the Wind Faction are going to be out of luck again."

"Not necessarily, oh. I got some gossip that the four factions have already united to deal with this Cao Xing. Especially on the Goddess of Wind Faction side, they have even assembled several forces of hundreds of thousands of people just to target him!"

"Holy crap! There's such a thing? Then there's a good show to watch today!"

Looking at the discussion on the bullet comments, all the Survivors couldn't help but feel a bit expectant.

…
