Chapter 199: Announcement of Results, Movements from All Sides
Chapter 199: Announcement of Results, Movements from All Sides
Zhu Ming stared at Qin Muye's message in the chat channel, falling into deep thought.
"Stage three corruption of the Ancient Gods? And a vaccine that can resist the erosion of the Ancient Gods? Why hasn't such a thing ever appeared in the simulator? Is it because I didn't follow the simulator's path that led to the creation of this vaccine?"
For the event of the Ancient Gods' resurgence, Zhu Ming was utterly exhausted. Even though he was known as the True Dragon Son of Heaven, he couldn't avoid dying this time. Therefore, he was certain that the Ancient Gods would be at the 7th stage after their resurgence, with their peak strength at the 8th stage, making it impossible for him to resist.
But this time was different. Something that had never appeared in the simulator had emerged.
He decisively bought one from the auction house.
Ancient God Vaccine × 1
Rank: 5th Stage
Attributes:
97% Clearance of 1st Stage Ancient God Corruption
90% Reduction of 1st Stage Ancient God Erosion
100% Immunity to 1st Stage Ancient God Aberration
Looking at the description in Lord Era, a flicker of surprise crossed Zhu Ming's eyes. He naturally knew who had created this Ancient God Vaccine—it must have been the Lord of Red Wind Manor.
He picked it up and threw the candy-like vaccine into his mouth. He immediately felt a tingling sensation in his body, with a lot of magic power surging inside. Before he could think that the vaccine might be problematic, a cloud of black smoke vomited out of his mouth, and a large amount of sticky liquid appeared on his skin.
"Phew~" He took a deep breath, feeling as if his entire body had been freed from some kind of restraint, and he could even sense a loathsome aura in the elements and magic power around him.
"The power of the Ancient Gods, I didn't even notice it. No wonder I died in every simulation. If I had continued to absorb the power of the Ancient Gods for a long time, I would have been corrupted. I didn't expect that even my Ancient God Resistance talent couldn't withstand it."
Zhu Ming's expression was uncertain. He hadn't expected the Ancient Gods to be so devious.
It wasn't that his Ancient God Resistance was inadequate, but rather that he had absorbed too much. After all, he wanted to become stronger, and the amount of elements and magic power he absorbed daily was not small. Most deities didn't absorb as much as he did.
He was fortunate to have the Ancient God Resistance talent; otherwise, he would have already entered the second stage.
"This Ancient God Vaccine is only for the 1st stage. Indeed, there are two more stages. The Lord of Red Wind Manor is a great talent; I need to find a way to bring him under my command."
In Zhu Ming's eyes, since Qin Muye had already developed the 1st stage vaccine, the 2nd and 3rd stages were likely in progress. If he could promote the Ancient God Vaccine, it might change his fate of defeat.
Unfortunately, his simulation was on cooldown today and couldn't be used.
As for subduing or capturing the other party? Zhu Ming was domineering but not without the capacity to accommodate others. A talent like this was enough to make him put aside his domineering nature; otherwise, he couldn't maintain such a vast domain and empire.
There were only five Ancient God Vaccines listed in the auction house, with a limit of one per person, just enough for the five lords.
To show sincerity, Qin Muye marked the price at 1 gold coin per vaccine, meaning that if you wanted to buy it, you would need to negotiate the price offline.
Of course, it couldn't really be 1 gold coin per vaccine, or he would be in the red.
"Send someone to Red Wind Manor to discuss the Ancient God Vaccine with the Lord of Red Wind Manor," Zhu Ming said.
Jiangmo Jushi looked at the candy-like vaccine, his expression also uncertain.
Besides the attributes provided by Lord Era, he also had the insight from the All-Seeing Talent.
It can solve the dilemma you are facing!!!
If anyone could detect the erosion of the Ancient Gods' power, it was definitely Jiangmo Jushi, who received textual prompts from the All-Seeing Talent.
He didn't know as much as Qin Muye, but through the textual prompts of the All-Seeing Talent, he had noticed something was wrong. However, by the time he realized it, it was already too late. The magic power in his body had already been tainted by the pollution of the Ancient Gods, causing even his exploration to be delayed.
He was trying to find a way to solve it, but he never expected it to be so easily resolved.
"The Lord of Red Wind Manor is not simple. No wonder he could survive with only 4th stage strength." Jiangmo Jushi's impression of Qin Muye still lingered on the arms dealer.
He never expected such a pleasant surprise to come so suddenly.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief, but he quickly realized that the Ancient God Vaccine was also needed for his troops and heroes.
"No wonder he could build his arms business across the entire magic continent; he really has everything figured out."
Each lord's troops numbered in the millions, and beyond that, they also had to consider the welfare of their subjects. This was no small expense.
Even if he sold the vaccines at a markup, Jiangmo Jushi didn't think the arms dealer lord of Red Wind Manor would be willing to offer credit. The demand for the Ancient God Vaccine was so high that many would be vying for it.
"It looks like I need to find a persuasive devil to negotiate, or we might not stand a chance against others."
Take the True Dragon Son of Heaven, for example, who had millions of dragon soldiers. Not to mention the Necromancer Lord, whose undead troops numbered in the billions.
However, the majority of the Necromancer Lord's undead troops were cannon fodder, so they might not all be equipped with the Ancient God Vaccine. Otherwise, it would be a waste of resources.
But if they didn't equip a large number of cannon fodder with the vaccine, reaching the 2nd or 3rd stage of corruption could be a catastrophic disaster.
So the Necromancer Lord was truly in a bind. Spending the money would be frustrating, but not spending it would be even more so. And his troop numbers were constantly growing, unless he streamlined his forces and went the elite route, which would result in significant losses either way.
Thinking about this, Jiangmo Jushi couldn't help but feel a bit schadenfreude.
Most of his troops were devils and demons, numbering only 1.5 million. Although it was a significant expense, with the gains from his territory development, it would be manageable.
Yang Feiyun looked at the Ancient God Vaccine with a mix of shock and awe.
"In the previous life, this thing didn't exist. It seems my presence has altered the course of the world."
"However, this time, there might be a chance to defeat the Ancient Gods."
His eyes sparkled with determination. The slight change had introduced a variable in the otherwise predictable outcome of the Ancient Gods' resurgence.
"However, this is no small expense. My gains from territory development will likely go to the Lord of Red Wind Manor." Yang Feiyun couldn't help but feel a bit frustrated.
He didn't rank among the top four on the leaderboard, so his gains from territory development were smaller. Plus, he had been intentionally hiding and suppressing his own strength, which further reduced his earnings.
But even so, he had to buy it. As a reborn, he knew the terror of Ancient God corruption and had been preparing for it. Initially, he managed to keep it at bay, but as the corruption and resurgence of the Ancient Gods intensified, his territory was struggling to hold on.
Under normal circumstances, if things progressed as they did in his previous life, Yang Feiyun would use a server transfer voucher to take his elves and leave the magic continent server in about two months.
Although other servers might not be much better, at least there would be a chance to survive. If the Ancient Gods reached the 3rd stage, it would be too late to escape.
"In my previous life, Jiangmo Jushi only summarized the 3rd stage of the Ancient Gods in the later stages. This time, the Lord of Red Wind Manor has already figured it out. The world is unpredictable. If he hadn't died in the previous life, perhaps the Ancient Gods wouldn't have truly resurged."
However, he didn't feel regret. After all, that was his previous life, not this one.
He didn't know Qin Muye from his previous life, and he had never even heard of him. Reflecting on Qin Muye's initial troops, the sprites, he understood. If it weren't for his rebirth causing various unforeseen consequences, the 0 attack and 1 defense sprites would have been wiped out in the monster siege event long ago.
"Unfortunately, I can't mention this favor, or I might get a discount. The crimson series of arms are indeed effective." Yang Feiyun couldn't help but laugh at himself, but it was just a joke. He wasn't a fool; their interactions were primarily based on transactions and mutual interests.
