Abnormal paradise - #494 - Chapter 487 Banquet Loyalty and Great Assets
[Tip: You have triggered the third and final phase of the semi-open dungeon “Night Banquet” – “Grand Banquet”. Please follow the requirements of teacher “Ananda” to ensure that the banquet is successfully completed. 】
Just when Ananda said something shocking, Yi Yan received a new mission. The name of the banquet gave him a certain premonition, and he always felt that the delicacies he had just enjoyed were not the protagonist of the banquet at all.
But does it really exist, and can the sub-god-level ingredient “Flame Crystal Snow Beast Precious Seafood” play a supporting role?
At this moment, Yi Yan felt for the first time that the information given by the Creator and Mr. Fool was too little to reveal the truth of the night banquet in advance. He could only look at Ananda with surprised eyes along with everyone present.
“Legends become epics, epics become beloved ones, beloved ones become venerable ones, and venerable ones become near gods…”
The chief priest of Dream Shift, who said nothing, was also completely shocked by the beautiful blueprint Ananda painted. If the higher-ups of the religious sect really improve by one level, then the top combat power of Dream Shift believers will jump to a level that is enough to counter-pressure The level of plague believers.
Apart from anything else, when the two epic near gods face the one from the Plague Land, they can completely overwhelm them. Even if there is a shortage of believers at the bottom, it will not be a problem at all.
Get rid of the Plague Land, and the development problem of the Dream-Collecting God Sect can be easily solved. Although the Plague Land is not a good base, it is still several times better than the real cold land! As for the reaction of the Furious Thunder Spirit, the middle ancient god, there is no need to worry. The relatively favorable Thunder Land is not yet within the scope of the Dream-Shining God Sect’s consideration. Facing the extremely cold land with a surge in strength, it is an inevitable outcome to stay within the realm of the well. .
Therefore, Ananda asked for advice, but the chief priest of Shi Meng was unable to give any advice.
Aurora Priest, Hot Spring Priest and Sea Cold Priest, all feel excited when they think of stepping into the realm of the Venerable. The remaining three party executives were even more excited. Some began to praise the Dream Pickers for their wisdom and greatness on the spot, completely forgetting about the “response” issue that had been mentioned many times before.
However, the chief priest of Shimeng quickly regained his composure, looked directly at Ananda with his narrow eyes, and asked the key question that went straight to the point.
“Has the Lord of Dreams really brought great assets? It’s a big deal, and I hope you won’t lie. I’m more familiar with the situation of the divine religion than you are. Since the Dream City was reduced to a settlement, the worship service has never been up to standard every year. , therefore, the master of dreams rarely responds to believers. At this time, you suddenly said that you have great assets. It is impossible for the master of dreams to descend into the divine form and give feedback to us and other senior leaders of the cult, right? If this is true, even if the senior leaders present are fully promoted, The Dream-Shining Sect is nothing but a strong man on the outside but a weak man on the inside!”
The words of the Master Shi Meng were like a basin of cold water, which solidly woke up the people present. The beautiful illusion was suddenly shattered, causing everyone to worry about gains and losses.
“The chief priest is right. The believers winning the war does not mean the winner is determined. If the mother disease defeats the master of the dream, we, the higher-ups of the divine religion, will only die in an ugly way.”
“It makes sense. Everyone is well aware of the situation of the divine religion. The power of faith has been in short supply for years. Where will there be assets for us? It can’t be brought by the strong wind, right?”
“His vision is still not high enough. Due to his humble background, he will inevitably be short-sighted.”
Whispers floated away.
Being in a weak position for a long period of time makes it easy for Dream Pickers to fall into pessimism, and the emptiness caused by the end of their dreams also has a subtle impact on the character of the higher-ups of the cult. I always feel that everything in the world is like a mirror, and no matter how beautiful it is, it will one day become vain.
Ember quietly confirmed to the puppet girl that his teacher was indeed not lying, but he could conclude that the origin of the so-called “great asset” might not be simple.
“The master of dreams has infinite power and infinite wisdom, so of course he will not fall into despair.”
Ananda’s expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly to the crowd: “This great asset is a foreshadowing he left behind in his early years. He planned to use it to make a comeback. Now that the time has come, the revival of the divine religion is in sight!”
Foreshadowing?
Yi Yan raised his eyebrows, remembering that the Dream Picker once ruled half of the ancient god’s world, and his abilities and methods must be impressive. It is indeed possible to prepare in advance for a comeback.
The chief priest of Dream Picking was suddenly silent. As the leader of the divine religion, he knew that the master of dreams was indeed worthy of the name of master when he was in the scenery. However, most of the other senior leaders of the cult, like the Beloved One, have never heard of the glorious achievements of the Dream Picker, and are still more or less suspicious. Ananda used lies to prop up the scene.
But despite this, Priest Aurora slightly sensed the change in the situation, and quietly asked the main priest Shi Meng with his eyes, if he would launch an attack?
The chief priest of Shimeng thought for a moment and slowly shook his head. Now was not the time. Ananda’s calm performance meant that he had not yet found enough reasons to take action.
“Let me see what your trump card is first, and then I can make a decision…”
A flash of light flashed through his narrow eyes, and the Dream Picking Priest took the initiative to give up the situation. He silently watched Ananda telling the high-level leaders of the cult present about the great past of the Lord of Dreams, triggering waves of astonished exclamations.
“The entire Sinful Territory of Suffering was once the place of faith for the Lord of Dreams? This… this is too incredible!”
“Half of the ancient god’s world is shrouded in a dream. How many believers must there be.”
“Hiss! There are over a hundred gods, tens of thousands of venerables, and countless beloved ones. There are even ten true gods. Is this the great kingdom of God dominated by dreams?”
Priest Haihan was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue at the huge power that he had never dreamed of. He couldn’t help but confirm with the chief priest Shi Meng, was what Ananda said true or false?
“Yes, the great divine kingdom dominated by dreams once indeed enveloped half of the ancient divine world.”
As soon as this statement came out, even if some people were hostile to Ananda, they would not dare to doubt the master of the dream. After all, it was impossible for the chief priest and Ananda to collude.
Seeing that the atmosphere was like a raging fire cooking oil, Ananda took advantage of the situation and said: “The assets are in my hands. The master of the dream specifically ordered me to lead the high-level leaders of the divine religion present to a higher realm. But before that, one thing must be determined! Only one thing must be determined. Only those who are pious and loyal to the religion are qualified to enjoy the gifts from the Lord.”
What?
Hearing this, the chief priest of Dream Shift and the priest of Aurora were slightly moved, guessing that Ananda had decided to seek revenge.
The hot spring priest who paid homage to Ananda suddenly stood up, shaking his trunk, and begged Ananda to let him be the first to undergo the loyalty test.
“good!”
Ananda shouted loudly, and suddenly raised his hand, and the flint crystals on the left and right sides surged with heat, pouring into the relief of the statue behind him. Immediately afterwards, light fell from the pupils of the statue, shining on the head of the hot spring priest, successfully activating the power of dreams and the shadow of the eyes. After about three seconds, the light was withdrawn, and the hot spring priest was safe and sound, showing his devout faith in the dream collector. , no doubt.
“Yes, you are the only one who holds the position of venerable. Go back to your original position.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
In front of everyone, the hot spring priest sat back down with his head held high and looked at the people in Aurora City and Haihan Island with proud eyes. If it weren’t for his fear, he would have wanted to use provocation to scold the group of bastards on the opposite side until they all took a loyalty test.
“Hmph! What’s so cool about it? Do you think that you, the hot spring priest, are the only one who is loyal to the master of the dream?”
Feeling uncomfortable with the strong look from Hot Spring Priest, Haihan Priest cursed secretly and became the second person to undergo the loyalty test. To Yu Yan’s expectation, this guy was actually loyal to the Dream Picker, but considering the elephant trunk, it could only be said to be a reasonable thing.
This time, Ananda did not let Priest Haihan return to his original position. Instead, he walked to half of the area where the ember was, calling it “easy to distinguish.”
Anyone with a discerning eye can immediately see Ananda’s true purpose, and as the believers in Hot Spring Bunker and Haihan Island passed the loyalty test, the three-party opposition to Aurora City clearly emerged in the night banquet hall.
“Priest, please step forward for testing.”
Ananda said lightly, with a look of compassion that reappeared, as if the dream-picking priest was a lost lamb.
Priest Aurora glared fiercely at the “rebellious” Priest Haihan. He was about to ask the Priest Shi Meng how to deal with it, but he was shocked to find that the Priest Shi Meng suddenly stood up and calmly stood at the testing position of his loyalty.
this……
Aurora Priest’s pupils shrank. As a confidant of the Dream Picking Priest, he was very sure that the Priest had no loyalty to the Lord of Dreams.
When they were driven to the depths of the glacier in despair, struggling for years on the verge of collapse due to lack of food and clothing, and unable to receive a response from the master of the dream, the chief priest of Dream Shifting gave up the Dream Shifting Cult completely.
Accepting the loyalty test now, the consequences will be disastrous!
The Priest of Aurora was anxious, and without receiving any instructions from the officiating priest, he could only watch helplessly as Ananda activated the flint and flame crystals, causing the reliefs of the gods to cast bright light.
At this moment, everyone’s attention was focused on whether the leader of the cult, the Dream Shift Priest, was loyal to the Lord of Dreams. Even Ember could not predict that the Dream Shift Priest decisively seized everyone’s moment of slack and brazenly attacked Ah It is difficult to launch an offensive.
Uh-huh!
The night banquet hall was suddenly filled with dazzling light. In the light, the chief priest of Shimeng instantly flashed in front of Ananda, avoiding the loyalty test, and swung out one hand to slam Ananda’s face.
“The first time I saw you, I wanted to slap you. You are obviously a slave. How can you pretend to be compassionate? Do you think you are the savior?”
The ferocious nature of the Dream Picker Priest was revealed, but with his whole body shrouded in light, he looked particularly sacred. The power of that palm cannot be underestimated, and the ember will explode even if it touches it.
“Whether I can get the assets of the Dream Picker or not, this Dream Picker Sect is finally destroyed! I will crush your body with one palm and end the dream of the Dream Picker. It’s ridiculous to dominate the ancient god’s world!”
The main priest of Dream Picking has now reached the peak of the epic, the ultimate limit of the venerable, and is only half a step away from becoming a near god. Coupled with the ability to move against the light, the instant burst has reached an incredible level.
But he soon discovered that the situation did not go as he imagined.
In the dazzling light, Ananda’s black pupils were like the deep space of the universe, making people look at him involuntarily. The Dream-seeking Priest couldn’t get rid of his instinct, and he looked over subconsciously with his narrow eyes. As a result, the detection divine light that he had just avoided shot out from Ananda’s eyes, making the Dream-Shifting Priest unable to dodge, and was forced to face it. Loyalty testing.
snort!
Feeling the sting between his brows caused by the collision of beliefs, the main priest of Shimeng snorted coldly. Now that the truth is revealed, it is no longer important, because as long as Ananda is slapped to death with one palm, the Shimeng Divine Sect is destined to decline.
But he would not have thought that Ananda was waiting for this move.
boom!
With a slap of the palm, Ananda disappeared immediately, leaving only a bloody mist. The chief priest of Shimeng was happy for half a second when he suddenly realized that his spirit had been invaded by a foreign object!
“Get out of here!”
The dream-picking priest shouted angrily and used his thoughts to suppress the foreign objects. However, the power of dreams in his body inexplicably lost control and helped the foreign objects invade his mind. At the critical moment, the Dream Picker Priest woke up and his loyalty was gone. The power of dreams was like poison and he had to give up completely. So he decisively gave up the power of dreams, the prototype of divinity, and all kinds of gifts from the Dream Pickers.
Under normal circumstances, a traitor who abandons his martial arts will have his strength greatly reduced even if he does not die on the spot.
But not only did the chief priest of Shimeng not become a useless person, but he also made the secret deduction increase instead of decreasing. He took half a step and was promoted to the near god!
If not, how could Master Shimeng have so decisively abandoned his martial arts?
“Haha, you can’t believe it. Not only did I change my faith, but I also became a near god. I have been dormant in the cold place, just to directly swallow up the Dream Shifting Cult!” The momentum of the Dream Shifting Priest has skyrocketed, and he has driven an even more tyrannical power of thought. , trying to eliminate invading foreign objects.
But at this point, the situation still did not change as he expected. Because all the gifts he threw away were all inherited by Ananda! At the same time that he became a near god, the foreign object that invaded his mind also took the initiative to exit his mind and appeared in front of him. It was Ananda who had reached the blood mist. The rough skin, ferocious mark and tattered clothes are no different from before. The only difference is that Ananda has also stepped from the venerable level to the near-god level!
What?
The slender eyes of the Master of Dreams were full of astonishment. The people present, who were no longer troubled by the dazzling light, were also surprised by the change of situation and were speechless.
Just a few seconds ago, Ananda was a venerable being. How could he become a near god in the blink of an eye?
The Dream Picking Priest also broke through the shackles of the Lord, but the Dream Picking believers present could feel that his aura did not come from the Dream Master.
What happened…
Can anyone explain?
Confusion filled everyone’s minds, but the chief priest of Shimeng immediately regained his composure and said to Ananda in a deep voice: “It is indeed beyond my expectation that you can push me to this point, but since I dare to come to the banquet, I will do my best. Be fully prepared! The Dream-Shifting Sect is destined to be destroyed today, even if the true form of the Lord of Dreams comes, it can’t stop it!”
As soon as the words fell, the eyes of the main priest Shi Meng suddenly became brighter. In this light, his two eyes were connected in a line. He raised his right hand and pinched the corner of his right eye, then pulled off this line of light to form a ray of blue light. Anyone who knew about it could see that this was The aurora hidden in Aurora City!
Whoosh!
With a flick of the wrist of the main priest of Shimeng, the bright blue satin suddenly expanded and expanded, breaking through the gate of the palace, flying out of the settlement of the divine slaves, crossing the altar of thousands of miles, until it was distantly connected with the winding aurora in the night sky!
“Hahaha! The chief priest of Aurora respectfully invites the god – [Aurora from Cold Land] to come in his true form!”
The Dream Picking Priest, no, the Aurora Priest whose name has been changed laughed three times, and when everyone was stunned, he told the shocking truth.
The dream-picking believers couldn’t help but look at the aurora in the field with dull eyes, and their minds fell into a void due to the strong impact.
Previously, the reason why the Aurora Priest wanted to attack the Hot Springs Bunker tonight was because the inferior ancient god [Cold Land Aurora], who was hidden in the cold land, was touched by the dream picker descending and summoned him, so he asked Aurora City to take action in advance. In order to prevent Ananda from leading the Dream Shire Sect to gradually rise, causing Coldland Aurora to miss the best opportunity to occupy the origin of the faith.
In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Coldland Aurora is even preparing to come in its true form, just to destroy the Dream Picker Sect and cut off one of its arms before the Dream Picker wakes up!
“Hahahahaha, after tonight, the cold land will belong to our Aurora Divine Cult. You trash, go to hell with your trash master!” The Aurora Priest, who had been patient for a long time, immediately became angry and looked at the embers and others. The look in a person’s eyes is like looking at a dead person.
The chief priest of Aurora smiled at Ananda and said, “It doesn’t matter if you weren’t beaten to death by my palm. If you hand over the Dream Picker’s assets, I can spare your life!”
“Assets?” Ananda murmured.
“That’s right! As long as you are willing to cooperate, the Aurora Divine Cult can reserve a place for you!”
The chief priest of Aurora was smiling brightly, and he felt like he was in a dream as he was confident of winning.
However, until this moment, Ananda still seemed to be an old monk who had entered meditation, without any sign of surprise.
After waiting for a while, the Aurora chief priest who wanted an answer couldn’t help but asked angrily: “What are you waiting for? Once the god arrives, you can’t agree even if you want!”
“I’m just waiting for the true form of the Cold Land Aurora to arrive! Yi Yan, take the people under the Beloved out first, so as not to hurt the soul by looking directly at the god.” Ananda smiled slightly, gave the order to Yi Yan, and then Then he turned to the aurora priest and said, “The great master of dreams once planted a ray of aurora in the night sky of a cold place. Today is the day when it matures. The real ingredient for this night banquet is the cold you believe in.” Aurora…”
“And he is also the great asset that the Lord of Dreams brought me to the Dream-Recovering Cult!”
