When Zhao Xu returned to the area of "Falling Star Lake", Antinoya's words were still echoing in his mind.
At this time, he was completely shocked by the "divine fragment".
Arthur's most enduring epic in recent years, "The Road to Godhood," tells the story of a wanderer who is not even a legend. At the end of the cataclysmic era after the death of Death, he successfully picked up a fragment of Death's godhead. , and thus successfully ascended to the throne and became the "God of Killing".
In the early stages of "Road to Godhood", the God of Killing had a completely tragic life. He was originally just a crew member and was framed because he was jealous of his peers.
The trusted prosecutor also concealed the truth in order to cover up his family's mistakes, which led to him being imprisoned for treason.
His fiancée also left him and married his enemy, and his father eventually died of starvation due to illness and poverty.
Then, the god of killing finally became a wanderer under the guidance of the priest Naraku, the god of death, who was also imprisoned.
In the end, he escaped by disguising himself as the corpse of the priest who died of illness and was thrown into the sea.
After that, the wanderer, relying on the guidance of the Death Priest, finally found the fragments of Death's godhead and became the God of Killing.
And his revenge story ended with the destruction of Arthur's dynasty that had been passed down for thousands of years.
The second half of the book records that the God of Killing was unable to control the huge divine power due to lack of accumulation, and was eventually annihilated by other divine powers.
And because of the first half of the content, everyone became fond of the wanderer protagonist.
Therefore, the subsequent plot of the siege by the gods can also avoid causing bad feelings, and was deleted by the church in official publications.
Many new readers thought that it was just a made-up story after thinking that there is currently no God of Killing.
What Antinoya told Zhao Xu was that even now there was a path to becoming a god similar to that of the God of Slaughter in front of him.
A path that has been proven successful by previous generations.
Like the goddess of magic, placed in front of him, without the status of a legendary mage, Zhao Xu would be in a situation where his brain could not bear it and he would die.
Zhao Xu saw this clearly in the book "Gods and Demigods" in the Legend Library.
The original Zhao Xu planned to evolve the giant scythe in his hand as quickly as possible so that he could quickly find the "portal".
But now it seems that everything needs to change.
He needs to spend these five days improving his strength from all angles.
In fact, anything involving the level of gods will never be simple.
Zhao Xu was in sync with "Altoria".
So when he first met Antinoya, he didn't elaborate on the details of the eternal sacred artifact and the seven prophecies.
Thanks to the tips from the "Prophecy Technique", Zhao Xu also tried the Five Rings' "Psychic Technique" at this time.
At this moment, with a caster level of 30, he can ask 30 questions.
However, after Zhao Xu finished casting the spell, he found that the aura of the spell did not open the communication channel to heaven.
After the aura circled around him for a few times, it pointed directly at him and disappeared into the center of his eyebrows.
"Huh? Are you looking for me?" came the voice of Artoria, who was originally in a deep sleep.
In the past two days, Zhao Xu used Artoria's level 20 priest ability and experienced the power of a full-level account for the first time.
He suddenly heard the other party's voice at this moment, and felt a little unaccustomed to it.
"I just used the 'Spiritual Skill', and the question was directed at you?" Zhao Xu asked in surprise.
"Well, this spell can connect with gods or gods' agents. You don't think you can let the goddess answer it in person, right? Of course, it was eventually distributed to me who merged with you."
"Then I'm not looking for distance at the expense of the near." Zhao Xu said angrily.
Why is this "spiritual art" so cunning
"Then you ask. Although I am not omniscient and omnipotent, it should be enough to answer your questions." Arturia replied.
After hearing this, Zhao Xu immediately sorted out the entire battle of Falling Star Lake and asked Artoria one by one.
By the way, he also asked some insinuations about the "Scavenger Cave".
Since that thing involves the god of death, it is definitely not something that can be concealed.
This also made him a little curious as to why the gods did not intervene in that half of the plane to take away the fragments of the godhead.
Angels of Arturia's strength exist as top commanders on the battlefields of heaven.
Although the battlefields were inconsistent, she was once a mortal and knew the true essence of war, so she directly explained the key points of a normal battle to Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu slowly had a different perception.
He also began to feel the difference between an outsider like himself and an expert.
Players have indeed organized union wars involving thousands of people in other online games.
But to them, it's just a simulation.
Unlike this moment, the opponent is fighting against a force that has accumulated decades of foundation, and behind the opponent is an Arthurian world with hundreds of millions of years of history.
Many operations are no longer as simple as the chessboard deduction where these chess pieces used to be and besieged this place.
Moreover, Arthur's players do not have the same method of timely communication as other online games. They can only temporarily instill a set of simple semaphores into the players.
But what they faced was the private army of the Mining Association that they had grown up with since childhood.
In the previous life, the player's chances of winning were only turned around when the mercenaries with insufficient tacit understanding intervened until the effective strength of the group of private guards was exhausted.
After asking twenty questions about the "Battle of Falling Star Lake", Zhao Xu found that the duration of the spell had long passed.
"Hey, do I have to cast the spell again?" Zhao Xu asked at this time.
"No, the power of the spell actually just provides a communication channel. I don't need to do this in your heart." Artoria replied succinctly.
Zhao Xu also nodded. According to the requirements of the spell itself, a simple "yes" or "no" from the other party is actually enough.
Otherwise, even the ninth level would not be able to suppress the power of this "spiritual art".
It's just that he has lost his personal relationship at this time, so he gets more answers.
Only then would Artoria go into a long discussion because of a question of hers.
"Then why didn't the gods intervene in that half of the plane?" Zhao Xu finally asked this, the question he really wanted to ask today.
At that time, Antinoya was already a little sleepy and planned to go to the bedroom next to her to change clothes and fall asleep, so he could no longer keep asking.
"Well, here we have to return to another question first." Artoria said, "Do you know the former 'God of Killing'?"
Zhao Xu nodded when he heard this. He had even read the story.
"Then you know why at least half of the gods died during the great cataclysm. But among them, the one who took over the throne the most smoothly without any troubles was the God of Slaughter?"
During this period of time, Zhao Xu actually read a lot of related content for that half of the plane.
To some extent, he also had his own opinions on all the confusing issues in his previous life.
He is no longer a passive recipient of ideas.
"Because this is determined by the characteristics of the God of Death." Zhao Xu said.
"After the death of other gods, their godheads will have their own obvious remaining characteristics, and even the gods will have to spend a long time digesting them."
"Only the God of Death, because of the special nature of death, some of the remaining characteristics of the God of Death will be gone."
Zhao Xu finally said this guess word for word.
"Well, Master, your current understanding of this aspect has indeed exceeded my expectations. You always have your own accurate judgment on divinity." Artoria suddenly praised Zhao Xu.
"Then what I'm going to tell you next, are you ready?" Artoria suddenly said seriously.
At this time, Zhao Xu looked around. It was very quiet on the hills in the middle of the night, with only the sound of insects.
It's true that no one came close.
But Zhao Xu's spells were useless.
He directly used the "Miracle Technique" to simulate the seven-ring arcane "Mage's Mansion Technique".
Suddenly a faintly glowing doorway appeared in front of him, about the same size as a single bed in his dormitory.
But behind the door was nothingness, just the same bunch of miscellaneous trees in this hilly area.
Zhao Xu walked directly into the entrance to another dimension.
Then the door that was still glowing immediately closed and became completely invisible.
Then Zhao Xu saw an extremely luxurious hall in front of him, with furniture neatly stacked and connected to dozens of spacious rooms.
In fact, Zhao Xu can continue to modify the layout. With his level 30 caster level, he can create this space of about 2,500 cubic meters.
However, Zhao Xu was not interested in looking at the huge banquet that could accommodate 360 people, and the 60 neatly dressed but almost transparent servants standing beside it.
In fact, he just wanted to establish a simple and hidden space.
However, it is also because of the emergence of these "residential" spells that the mage's life is much more convenient, and he does not need to sleep in the open air.
"That's it." At this time, Zhao Xu said to Artoria, who was in the same tune.
"Well, then listen carefully." Artoria's tone was very serious, but it was not the kind that deliberately whets her appetite.
"The God of Death is the only god who cannot be resurrected."
