Having witnessed the four's performance, the people present were beginning to believe they were gods; this seemed to be the only explanation for their unprecedented power.
Tap tap tap--
Just as everyone was stunned, the royal guards of the Kingdom of Heruin arrived late. They had come to surround the wizards of the gathering place on the orders of Wosumede, but Wosumede was dead, and the royal wizards were so frightened by the four people who seemed to be "gods" that they lost the courage to resist.
When Wosumede's wizard followers surrendered one after another, the leader of the royal guard was initially incredulous upon learning of Wosumede's death, but after confirming that the body was indeed his, he was overjoyed.
Wosumede was not popular with normal people, and many wished for his early death, but none had the ability to kill him. At this time, Wosumede's death was good news for some people.
The leader of the royal guard initially thought that the sorcerer of the assembly hall had killed Wosumede, but the truth revealed by the wizard startled him. He couldn't help but scrutinize the four "gods" with a look of awe and suspicion, and hurriedly sent his men to inform the king.
It was late at night, and the atmosphere in the room was eerie. Almost everyone was staring at the four of them. Han Xiao ignored the reactions of those around him and went about checking the task settlement on his panel.
After completing the chain quest [The Demon King of Planet Nalon], the reward feat has finally been obtained.
[[Mental Lock]: Mental resistance +20%, duration of all mental negative effects reduced by 10%, when suffering a mental attack, you have an 18%~34% chance to negate the damage. Once a negation is active, there is a 30-minute cooldown before the next negation can be triggered.]
"With my [Advanced Mental Fortitude], my total mental resistance is increased by 55%. Compared to resistance bonuses, this saving throw can be surprisingly effective in certain situations..."
Han Xiao nodded secretly.
Although the cooldown is long, it may only trigger once in a battle, and it cannot be controlled by the user, it is still a very useful ability. If you had this feat when facing Sisko's telekinetic weapons, you might be able to directly negate a Beyond Grade A mental attack.
The chance of triggering an immunity effect is guaranteed to be at least 18%, and even if luck is a little low, it's still barely acceptable— Han Xiao has gotten used to looking at the lower limit of the probability at first glance.
At this moment, Tomar had already explained the "divine names" of Han Xiao and the other three to everyone. Ulis led the group to Han Xiao, looking flustered, as if they didn't know how to communicate with the gods. It was their first time encountering a god who was beyond their level of existence, and they were filled with awe and trepidation.
"Four Lords... uh, Gods, on behalf of all wizards, I thank you for ridding this devil, Wosumede. If you have any requests, I will do my best to fulfill them..."
Han Xiao put away the panel, looked at the anxious crowd, and smiled, "I do have one requirement: Tomar is the Missionary I've chosen, and I will take him to the Kingdom of God."
Missionary of God?!
Everyone suddenly turned to stare at Tomar, their eyes filled with envy, surprise, astonishment, and other emotions.
Tomar stared wide-eyed, his mind blank. He pointed incredulously at himself and stammered, "What... what does this mean...?"
"It means I'll take you to the world of gods." Han Xiao, playing along, asked, "Are you willing?"
Tomar was so overwhelmed by this surprise that he was speechless, spouting out several sentences of gibberish that even a translator couldn't decipher, nodding frantically as if he were testing whether he could break his neck.
Ulis swallowed hard. He was filled with curiosity about the gods and their kingdom, but he didn't know their personalities and dared not ask rashly at this moment.
Just then, the soldier who had gone to inform the king returned and reported the situation to the leader of the palace guard.
Immediately afterwards, the leader of the royal guard came to Han Xiao and his group with a humble expression.
"The four deities, Ulis, Lord Tomar, and His Majesty the King wish to meet with you all."
Ulis did not answer, but turned to look at Han Xiao, clearly understanding that the king truly wanted to see the gods.
Han Xiao thought for a moment, then nodded and accepted the invitation.
Meeting the king of the indigenous regime wouldn't waste much time and could also dispel any concerns the new recruit, Tomar have.
Seeing this, Ulis and Tomar readily agreed.
Please follow me, everyone.
The leader of the royal guard was overjoyed and led the six men to the main hall.
King Herloun had already hastily donned his royal attire and met with the crowd.
Faced with a creature that resembled a god, King Herloun tried to appear dignified. It was his first encounter with a deity, and he did not want to tarnish the kingdom's Glory. Unfortunately, his obese belly repeatedly thwarted his attempts.
Upon seeing Han Xiao and the other three disguised as Planet Nalen, his inner tension dissipated considerably—at least the appearance of the gods was familiar.
"Honorable deities, on Herloun, I welcome you all. Forgive my intrusion, but may I ask: what exactly are deities, and what are your purposes?"
"Even if I told you, you still wouldn't understand our level of existence." Han Xiao raised an eyebrow, feigning expertise. "As for our goals, the first was to eliminate Wosumede, which has already been accomplished. The second goal is to choose a Missionary, Tomar is my choice."
King Herloun glanced at Tomar, memorizing his features, and then, a thought struck him. He asked, "So, the four gods wish to spread their religion?"
"Hmm, you can understand it that way, right?" Han Xiao nodded; this reason was more convenient.
King Herloun's eyes lit up; he believed he had grasped the god's need.
"In that case, if the four noble deities can Display a Miracle and protect Herloun, I am willing to establish a sect belonging to you and mobilize all the people of the kingdom to become your followers."
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes, not particularly surprised. For a backward civilization, knowing that gods truly exist is equivalent to an opportunity to reshape the social structure. In their eyes, the help of gods is more important than the development of technology.
He could foresee that, through his influence, the development trajectory of the Planet Nalen civilization would change, and religious theocracy would begin to intervene in politics, with a high probability of forming a theocratic political system.
Just then, a new task popped up on the panel:
[[Display a Miracle]]
[Mission Introduction: The indigenous regime of Planet Nalen regards you as a god and wants you to perform a "miracle." Perhaps you will leave your mark on the history of this civilization forever.]
[Task Requirements: Demonstrate a "miracle" that amazes King Herloun (this must overturn the target's perception)]
[Reward: 3 million experience points, 1 point of Planet Legend Points]
"Oh, there's another side quest." Han Xiao was secretly delighted.
In the past, during the mid-to-late game, players would occasionally visit less advanced civilizations to feign supernatural abilities in order to gain Legend Points —leaving their name in the history of a civilization was also a way to acquire Legend Points.
Since it's Legend Points, Han Xiao didn't mind doing it as well.
Glancing at the expectant expressions of King Herloun, Ulis, and Tomar, Han Xiao pondered for a moment, then reached out and summoned countless carving knives from nanoparticles, which swiftly carved a map onto the palace wall.
"What are you doing..." King Herloun was stunned. He had thought the miracle would be amazing, but it turned out to be so simple.
"This is the original appearance of the world you live in, and a map of the entire world," Han Xiao said slowly.
The map of Planet Nalen, which Phillip had created, was painted on the wall.
King Herloun was startled and quickly examined the map closely, exclaiming in astonishment, "The earth is round?"
Even Ulis and Tomar looked surprised.
The Planet Nalen civilization currently only occupies one continent and has not yet explored the entire world; people don't even know that the planet they stand on is a sphere.
"Wait, there are two more landmasses beyond our continent?!" King Herloun caught sight of the key point and his breath caught in his throat.
Herloun just one of the kingdoms on Planet Nalen. Other nations are vying for supremacy with them. If the other two uninhabited continents truly exist, the kingdoms can gain an advantage and, according to this map, first set foot on the other two lands to expand.
The thought of expanding his territory Herloun with such excitement that he could almost hear his own heart pounding.
Suddenly, King Herloun realized that the map might not be correct, because he had no way of knowing the true nature of the world, and even if it was Lie by the gods, he could not expose it.
King Herloun couldn't help but feel suspicious. He coughed and cautiously asked, "Honorable deity, how can I verify the authenticity of this map? You know we are just insignificant mortals, without your abilities to cross the oceans beyond this continent and explore the world."
The mission isn't finished yet... Han Xiao frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed his grip. After thinking for a moment, he said, "That's right, then let you see for yourself."
"Take a look for yourself?" King Herloun was taken aback.
Before he could react, Han Xiao grabbed his shoulder and used nanoparticles to form a life-sustaining shield for him.
Bang!
The next second, Han Xiao grabbed him and shot into the sky, smashing through the palace dome.
The altitude rose rapidly, and soon we reached the edge of the atmosphere, where we could barely see half of the planet in its entirety.
"Look, do you see? The world is round, and those two continents are right there..."
As Han Xiao spoke casually, he turned to look at King Herloun, only to see Herloun the king was pale with fright, his eyes were glazed, and he was completely numb, as if he had lost the ability to react to the outside world.
"It seems too provocative for him..."
Shaking his head helplessly, Han Xiao carried him as they plummeted back to the palace in less than a minute.
When Han Xiao took off, Ulis and Tomar were already stunned. Now, seeing the two return, they were horrified. They realized that they had underestimated the gods; the gods' abilities were beyond their comprehension.
Han Xiao gave King Herloun, and Herloun king finally came to his senses. He shuddered, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, unable to maintain his dignity any longer. His face was filled with horror as he stared at Han Xiao, speechless.
Before this, he had some doubts about the four "gods'" identities, but now he had no doubts at all. His almost incontinent bladder replaced his brain, allowing his body to remember the fact that the "gods" were omnipotent.
"Do you believe me now?" Han Xiao chuckled.
"I believe it, I believe it..." King Herloun nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with not only awe but also fervor and piety.
This is a miracle!
At that moment, he felt he had finally found faith.
Han Xiao's panel displayed a notification that the mission to Display a Miracle had been completed, and he had gained 1 point of Legend Points.
[Planet Legend Points (Planet Nalen): God of the Mortal World - The miracles you have performed will, to some extent, alter the trajectory of Planet Nalen's civilization. Your existence will be recorded in the history of this planet, and the inhabitants of Planet Nalen will worship you, spreading your divine light. The impact you have created will accompany this civilization for a very, very long time.]
He'd gotten the extra Legend Points... Han Xiao smiled to himself.
After King Herloun promised to establish a cult for the four of them, Han Xiao and his group left the palace and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Tomar became a member of the team. He had agreed to follow Han Xiao to the "God Kingdom". He was a typical orphan protagonist template, with no ties, so he left very freely.
Han Xiao felt that taking Tomar away would be a good thing for Planet Nalen. Tomar was the first person from Planet Nalen to enter the universe, just like he had been back then.
Tomar, being a complete native, was perfectly positioned to open his eyes to the world and understand the true nature of the universe.
Once he receives systematic training, maximizes his talent, and gains greater power, he can use the resources he obtains from the universe to give back to Planet Nalen, bringing benefits to his home planet far greater than his achievements in his previous life and on Planet Nalen.
The mission was over, and Han Xiao didn't linger on Planet Nalen. He led everyone onto the ship and left the planet.
Tomar was curious about everything on the spaceship, but also a little bewildered, feeling that it was quite different from the gods he had imagined.
Han Xiao simply handed him over to Fording, letting Fording complete his early education.
He then returned to his room alone to review the messages that had piled up over the past two weeks.
After quickly skimming through the legion's daily routines, Han Xiao browsed his communicator for a while and suddenly discovered a message from Harofal.
Having not been in contact for seven years, Han Xiao was curious as to why Harofal wanted to see him.
However, after just one glance, his expression changed drastically.
The message was short, but its content gave him a jolt; it contained a single, seemingly random sentence:
"It's Sorokin!"
