The Holy Spirit server has entered maintenance, and the world of the Tower of Trials has also entered maintenance.
The manifestation of this is that the tower spirit kicked all the natives out of the plane of the Tower of Trials.
When Jiang Qiao arrived at the Trial Tower plane, the entire Trial Tower was empty. Only the tower spirit was floating in the air, looking at Jiang Qiao's arrival with some fear.
There was another person next to Ta Ling. When Ta Ling discovered Jiang Qiao appeared, it hid directly behind that person.
She was a plump woman who looked to be in her fifties or sixties. Although she was not pretty, she looked inexplicably kind and amiable at first sight.
But the woman's hair was dark green and had flowers growing in it.
Mother Earth
Jiang Qiao guessed without hesitation that she was most likely a god from the indigenous world. Judging from her attire, she might be the goddess of harvest or the mother goddess of the earth.
"Does the God Eater prefer this youthful appearance?" She asked as soon as she saw Jiang Qiao. "Maybe I should change my appearance."
"Uh... there's no need for that. Let's just start by introducing ourselves."
Jiang Qiao kept a certain distance from her. At the same time, he habitually cast a reconnaissance spell over to her. This is a habit that every player will develop after playing Holy Spirit for a long time.
That is the art of reconnaissance when meeting someone. No matter what new thing you see, the first thought that pops up in your mind is just three words: "reconnaissance".
Some information about this woman was quickly presented to Jiang Qiao.
'Name: ???, Level: ?, Description: Be careful when you see so many question marks. This is a world we cannot detect for the time being.'
Fine.
"The name my believers gave me is Garion. I was born from the land of Helilan and I am also the incarnation of the land of Helilan." She gave a very brief self-introduction.
Jiang Qiao roughly understood her identity after hearing this. Helilan was the name of the indigenous world of the Tower of Trials.
Her previous sentence said that her name was given by believers. So according to Jiang Qiao's guess, it was probably not this god who created the world, but God's believers who created God.
The more people believe in it, the more powerful this god will be.
"I am Jiang Qiao, the agent of the God Devourer. I am very curious about why you came all the way to us."
Jiang Qiao felt that the Mother Goddess of the Earth was waiting here specifically for Jiang Qiao's arrival.
Players have been frantically grinding the Tower of Trials recently, but the wool comes from the sheep, and all the holy objects in the Tower of Trials come from the tower spirit.
After the players arrived, the production rate of relics in the Trial Tower tripled.
If the Mother Goddess of the Earth came to Jiang Qiao as a parent to seek redress, Jiang Qiao would have nothing to be afraid of.
At this stage, the players' combat power may not be able to match that of the Mother Goddess of the Earth. Jiang Qiao only needs to give up the plane of the Tower of Trials, and the Mother Goddess of the Earth will not be able to do anything to the players.
It's a bit cowardly...but it's the best solution.
"I don't sense any evil in you. The God of Devouring Gods is not as evil as the legend says. You have an upright soul." The Mother Goddess of Earth suddenly said.
Wait... why are you suddenly praising me? I hired all the players who bullied your child!
"What's the matter specifically?" Jiang Qiao didn't like conversations that beat around the bush.
The Mother Goddess of Earth thought for a while and suddenly summoned a circle of tables and chairs made of trees. At the same time, she gestured to Jiang Qiao to sit down and continue the conversation.
Jiang Qiao found a tree stump to sit down without any psychological burden. Hai Lan, who had been following Jiang Qiao, took on the responsibility of serving tea and water.
Jiang Qiao in this world is just an incarnation. Even if he encounters any accident, the most he can do is to be resurrected. The same goes for Hai Lan... Hai Lan's ordinary aura even makes the Mother Goddess of Earth mistakenly believe that she is Jiang Qiao's maid.
"For a long time, I have been in a state of sleep and rarely interfered with the activities of the mortal world. But half a year ago, an incident forced me to wake up."
Mother Earth waved her hand, and trees and grass began to grow on the surface of the wooden round table. These trees and grass gradually formed a three-dimensional projection-like picture that appeared in front of Jiang Qiao's eyes.
"To use the term my followers use... cancer," said Mother Earth.
"Incurable disease?" Jiang Qiao heard that the language of Mother Earth was translated by the system. Her original words were incurable diseases, so the system directly translated it into cancer.
"Yes." The Earth Mother pointed to a raised part of wood on the table and said, "This is an island in our world called Brand. It was originally an inconspicuous island in the ocean, until the energy in my body began to expand uncontrollably. This island served as the core and began to absorb the energy in my body."
"Then what?"
Jiang Qiao felt that this was a bit like the rapid expansion reaction of a star at the end of its lifespan, but if viewed from the perspective of life, this situation was a bit like cancer cell degeneration.
"The entire island, whether it is the land, plants, or creatures on the island, are beginning to crystallize rapidly. After crystallization, these children will become extremely violent, and the power they possess will exceed the scope they should have." said the Mother Earth.
"What do you want us to do? Investigate the reason why this island crystallized?" Jiang Qiao asked.
"I've heard that the God Devourer can devour all existence. I hope you can completely...eat up this island." The Earth Mother paused and said, "If you can't do that, I hope you can curb the expansion of this island to the greatest extent possible."
This is the new main quest, and it is an expansion-oriented main quest.
"Do you trust us so much?"
If Jiang Qiao remembered correctly, the God Eater had a bad reputation on the star map, and this bad reputation might be only slightly better than the Annihilation Legion.
"I have observed your chosen ones for a long time. They are all a group of... kind children." The Earth Mother Goddess said in a clear conscience, "and your soul gives me a very pure feeling. The most important thing is that I can only seek help from the legendary God of Devouring Gods. If my incarnation approaches that island, it may be affected."
The players are all kind-hearted... kids? Brother, I think there is something wrong with your definition of kindness.
"What about the indigenous people on this island, and what if your believers land on this island?" Jiang Qiao was already considering accepting this commission. This was an opportunity.
But the crystals on this island can really greatly increase people's strength. Those smart humans will definitely not miss this opportunity. Regardless of whether these crystals will bring side effects, they should find a way to get on this island.
"Kill." The Mother Goddess of Earth said these two words in a kind tone.
"Are you sure?" Jiang Qiao thought that the Mother Earth was a saintly figure, but it seemed that she was not as kind to her believers as she appeared to be.
