When he heard such explosive inside information, Zhao Xu felt calm inside.
In fact, there were many speculations and rumors about the power of the earth in the past life, and many people thought it was related to the seventh prophecy.
But no one knows the details of the seventh prophecy at all, and all speculations can only be superficial.
However, considering that the seventh prophecy pointed to a future main god, Zhao Xu suddenly felt a little pessimistic about Wang Ningwei.
For no other reason than Wang Ningwei jumped out too early, even though the power behind her was the huge Mage Association.
If there are only two players on the chessboard, the one who makes the first move and gradually presses will have the upper hand.
But when there are multiple players on the chessboard, sometimes making a fortune quietly is a better way to win.
Showing your face too early will only cause all the remaining forces that are not dominant to adjust their spearheads and target them in unison.
After all, everyone wants the Earth candidate selected by their own force to become the ultimate main god. No matter how bad it is, it cannot be a hostile force.
In this way, since Wang Ningwei was already outstanding in her previous life, she is the most obvious thorn in the side of those forces who know about the Zero Prophecy and try to intervene and arrange agents.
For example, Zhao Xu may be the candidate in the first prophecy. As long as he hides Lux well, he can survive forever. Even when he was so outstanding, he had to give up others' suspicion that he was a candidate for the Lord God in the seventh prophecy.
Just when Zhao Xu was thinking this, he had already walked back to the original intersection. This is where Zhao Xu initially deployed the "magic alarm", closely following the other three intersections.
From now on, this alarm has not been activated.
Although the "Abyss Fiend" has spell resistance, the "Magic Alarm" ignores saving throws and spell resistance. As long as anyone walks into the alert area unprepared, it will be triggered.
"The 'Abyssal Fiend' is at the intersection in the middle. It is hiding at the altar to perform its rituals. These devils who come to the main material plane are very uncreative. Every time they arrive, they are just thinking about what to do. Another world portal, and I don’t want to think about whether I have this ability." Lux said to Zhao Xu through her psychic ability.
"Can I trigger your transformation artifact when I walk to the altar?" Zhao Xu asked.
He has had the experience of using the "mind link" ability to communicate with Antinoya and Leian before, and he is also familiar with this process.
"That's right, this is a requirement of the ceremony." Lux said.
Zhao Xu felt a headache when he heard this.
For mages, the most annoying thing is unpredictability.
This means that even his specific battle plan has to be based on many unknowns.
"But, you have six chances." Lux suddenly said in a flattering tone.
Six times
Zhao Xu reacted immediately: "Wouldn't I be resurrected in Mystra?"
The Resurrection Stone was born with the ability to send people back to the city. If something happened to him, he would be resurrected near the temple in a big town.
"The resurrection is in the nearby temple." Lux smiled proudly, as if she was very proud that she had thought carefully about Zhao Xu, "Then master, you only need to wait for one more week in the temple for my ability to recover, and then you can continue to the second step. test.”
"I can't go out during that week?"
"No, the ritual itself refuses the participation of any outsiders. When new forces intervene, perhaps in order to complete the ritual, Master, you will have to challenge the lords of hell."
Zhao Xu suddenly felt that it was a bit too big.
According to Lux's tips, after his death, when he was resurrected in the Temple of Creation, he could choose to resurrect in the temple of Naraku, the God of Death, relying on the altar that was still barely running.
"Just three to five tests will be enough. If the fifth resurrection stone fails again, I will go back to Mystra." Zhao Xu said.
After all, this number was not easy to come by. If he could not win the game of binding the "Eternal Sacred Artifact" and become one of the possible "Lord God" candidates in the prophecy, he would stop his losses in time.
In fact, it doesn't take until the fifth time. After the third resurrection stone is used, Zhao Xu will make a decision based on the details of the challenge whether to fight to use the fifth resurrection stone.
If the odds of winning were no more than 10%, then there was no need for him to try to get the last two resurrection stones with a gambler's mentality.
"Master, don't worry, the artifact transformed by Lux is still very powerful." At this time, Lux also started to promote himself.
"Because, as the will of an artifact, I can determine all uncertain things." Lux said.
Uncertainty
Zhao Xu was suddenly very keen on this term, and then he remembered the deck of cards he had seen in the No. 1 storage room of Yitel Legacy.
"If you transform the Impermanent Card, can you make sure I draw certain cards?" Zhao Xu asked.
"No." Lux immediately interrupted Zhao Xu's fantasy, "Because the Impermanence card itself is certain. There are all twenty-two cards. What is uncertain is you who drew the card, not me who is the card itself. .So I can’t change your own uncertainty.”
After hearing this somewhat convoluted explanation, Zhao Xu decided to give up the idea of taking advantage of the transformation artifact.
"Master, I suggest you wait until the first time and choose random transformation, try to keep the artifact as long as possible." Lux suggested.
"You mean to bet that a blind cat will encounter a dead mouse?" Zhao Xu asked.
"Wow, Master, for the first time, I feel like Master finally looks like a mage." Lux continued to flatter her, but it sounded a bit harsh.
At this time, Zhao Xu also began to think deeply.
He only knew the standard data of the "Deep Hell Demon". He actually knew nothing about whether the other party had a part-time professional level.
Therefore, the target's "Deep Hell Fiend" may be stronger than imagined.
Even if the other party works part-time as a level 20 mage, then Zhao Xu can go back home and give up the connection ceremony when the first resurrection stone is used up.
Lux's transformation direction is 30% possible, but the price is that the duration is very short. Even if the result of the transformation artifact is not what he wants, he still has to bear the price of short time.
But Zhao Xu only needs three resurrection stones to transform into the same artifact.
Basically, the expectation that the target artifact of his choice will appear once in three transformations is 90%, which is enough.
Therefore, Zhao Xu can arrange the second to fourth times as short-term directional deformations.
The first time was a random transformation, purely relying on the long-term effect of the artifact to explore the situation of the deep hell fiend.
And, as Lux said, try your luck.
The short-term effect of the artifact may only last a few rounds. He must squeeze every round of actions to the limit, and the error tolerance rate is very low.
Even if what Zhao Xu obtained during the first round of directional transformation was the artifact that Zhao Xu wanted, he would basically have a low chance of winning when faced with demons that might have other means.
This is also the reason why Lux did not suggest that he perform directional transformation for the first four consecutive times.
Anyway, it’s just a trial. If you just try it for a long time, you might still have the possibility of winning.
After thinking about this clearly, Zhao Xu also walked straight towards the road ahead, until he reached the dark stone gate.
At this time, Zhao Xu gently pressed his hand on the Naraku Holy Emblem pattern in the middle of the stone gate. It was a huge sickle, symbolizing the harvest of life.
"My lord is dead."
Zhao Xu thought and prayed the password Lux told him.
The place where the altar is located is equipped with too many shielding ritual spells. Even if you use a "phase gate" to penetrate it, you will suffer from the altar's counterattack.
The only safest way is to touch Naraku's holy symbol and recite this command.
The originally dark Holy Emblem suddenly burst out with a red light, and the sickle seemed to be forged red, and then a teleportation force was injected into Zhao Xu's body through the Holy Emblem.
The next moment, Zhao Xu appeared in a huge domed sacrificial hall, surrounded by a row of stone statues of the fallen god of death, Naraku.
They all have different shapes, symbolizing the image of Naraku in different periods. Only the sickle is always by his side.
In the middle, there is an altar that is emitting a faint red light. In front of the altar, stands a nearly four-meter-tall hell demon.
The Hell Fiend's whole body is covered in crimson scales, with flames burning on them, and its huge wings wrap most of its body from behind.
The mouth of the Hell Fiend was completely exposed, and a whole row of sharp fangs exuded a foul odor. The two most prominent fangs had already touched the chin, and green serous fluid was dripping down the fangs.
At the same time, thick black smoke kept coming out of its thick nostrils, as if its body was filled with hot magma.
At this time, the Hell Demon also noticed Zhao Xu's arrival and stared directly at him with a ferocious look.
"Transform!" Zhao Xu immediately ordered Lux.
In an instant, the "energy-suppressing skin" on Zhao Xu's body disappeared directly, turning into a mysterious blue light that reached the dome of the sky.
Immediately, the energy condensed and turned into lightning, and the deep and cold arc light illuminated the entire sacrificial hall.
After the blue lightning struck in front of Zhao Xu, it immediately took shape.
As streams of information poured into his body, Zhao Xu already understood what it was.
An artifact that allows ordinary people who do not know magic to cast the spells recorded on it -
