Chapter 1187 The Third Round of Power War
Chapter 1187 The Third Round of Power War
"Damn, it feels like Boss Wayne is getting stronger and stronger."
"Did you understand the plot?"
"No, we can only wait for the explanation of the series."
The players looked around in shock. What appeared before them was still the sky of dim yellow, dark red, and dark green, and a gray-white ring composed entirely of books flying in the sky around the dilapidated city-state.
Many players didn't understand this plot, only understanding the phrase "Power War." Judging from the enemies they've encountered so far, this so-called Power War is likely to be even more intense than the previous version's God War.
After leaving the book world, Zhou Ning didn't rush forward. Instead, he grabbed a new white windbreaker from the void and put it on. Then he silently felt his current situation - his current state seemed a little strange.
His control over the authority of knowledge is growing rapidly, which has triggered resonance. New knowledge is constantly emerging in his mind, and even a lot of knowledge has been combined together in twos and threes to generate new knowledge.
This abnormality obviously came from the victory in the first round of the so-called power war, which was a confrontation of knowledge authority. After the victory, Guarani lost part of his knowledge authority, and the part he lost was gained by Zhou Ning.
However, the knowledge and authority gained is not too much, and there is still a distance to go before I can fully master the knowledge and authority.
And it was obvious that after Guarani used Voldemort to connect him to the world of the book, this concept of connection was mixed with other knowledge in the form of knowledge by Guarani. Then, through the transfer of knowledge authority, it fell into Zhou Ning's ocean of knowledge and melted into it.
This also means that he will most likely be brought back into the world of the book and forced to engage in subsequent power wars on the opponent's home turf.
What a tough opponent! Zhou Ning exhaled silently, looked up at the gray-white ring in the sky, and said in a deep voice:
"Keep going deeper!"
It is obviously unrealistic to choose to retreat now, which is unacceptable to both myself and Guarani.
"Okay." Jasmine and Leonardo nodded, followed Zhou Ning, and took a step forward.
Then, as if the stars had moved, they crossed the vast plains and came to the stone stairs leading to a higher place that divided the world in the book.
This is not teleportation. On the contrary, the way of moving in the kingdom of God is more abstract. Since there is no concept of time, position and direction, the ability to teleport and teleport is infinitely reduced. Even if the main gate of the ancient city of Waters is within the field of vision, non-gods cannot reach it directly.
"Oh my god, this is amazing!"
The players stood on the stairs, curiously looking upward. In front of them was a staircase that stretched straight up, countless steps. It connected the worlds in the books, stretching infinitely upward.
This is the ladder of knowledge and wisdom that many scholars spend their entire lives climbing.
At the entrance, I could see countless well-dressed animals and characters from the book ascending the steps in a pilgrimage posture. But when I got closer, I realized that there were far more animals around than I had seen before, and the same was true for the characters from the book.
However, the two appeared in different ways: the animals climbed from the other end of the road, which was the bottom of the ladder of knowledge and wisdom, while the characters in the books appeared from the beams of light cast by the ring of books in the air.
Zhou Ning also noticed that all the characters in the books had a halo, either bright or dim, which should represent the halo of the protagonist.
Upon noticing Zhou Ning and his companions' intrusion, the animals and the characters in the book reacted differently. Of the two groups, one group, reverently bowing, continued ascending the stairs, while the other group, carrying swords and walking normally, glared at the group with aggressive eyes.
.
This represents the desires and beliefs in human nature. In the intellectual realm, there's a saying: Desire is the driving force behind human production, development, and activity. Faith, on the other hand, is a spiritual sustenance, representing human wisdom and rationality. The same is true for the characters in the book.
One by one, the characters in the book, some familiar and some unfamiliar, some dressed as scholars continued to walk piously, while others holding swords and exuding a violent aura without any concealment, rushed towards Zhou Ning and others.
These characters and animals in the book are all potential believers and angels of the Guarani. Their goal is to enter the kingdom of the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" in their own way, become servants of God, become part of knowledge, and serve the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom".
In Genesis, Guarani once experimented as a dark wizard in two realms.
One country is dominated by desires, the other country has no desires and only faith.
Both kingdoms perished within ten years. The kingdom dominated by lust perished due to its insatiable greed, the law of the jungle, and its focus on plunder. It was subsequently destroyed by a larger nation.
Another country was too indifferent. Without desires, there was no work, no struggle, and it just lay down and waited for death. It did not build up military preparations and was subsequently destroyed by the invasion of other countries.
Zhou Ning was shocked when he read this myth, not for any other reason, but because he was very familiar with these two countries. The first country was the former Kingdom of the North, and later the North Pirates; the second country was the former Walrus Kingdom, and later the Walrus Tribe.
What a coincidence, this is fate.
At this time, the aggressive animals bared their fangs, and the characters in the book drew their swords and rushed towards Zhou Ning and others from all directions.
These animals and characters in the book are at least demigods!
"Be careful, most of them are not entities, but creatures that tend to be thoughts and concepts. They are either summoned by the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, or manifested through the world in books. They are very powerful. Some can even call upon the authority of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom in the kingdom of God. Although it is impossible for them to be complete, they should definitely not be underestimated." Meredith, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.
...It's like I'm sharing the power of the Gun God with the players. I can do this in the divine realm as well. Thinking about it this way, at least in this respect, there's not much difference between me and the true gods.
Zhou Ning's thoughts raced, and he didn't stop. Instead, he opened the mission editor and wrote and issued a reward pool mission to the players. Now that the players were strong enough to deal with them, Zhou Ning could save some energy and focus on guarding against the next appearance of the book world.
At the same time, a new task popped up on the players' game panels:
[You have triggered a new A-level mission: Open up a path.]
[Mission Description: The road ahead is filled with numerous enemies. Wayne Stewell hopes to see the Chosen One demonstrate his power, try to kill the enemies, and open up a safe passage to the ancient city of Waters.]
[Task Rewards: Experience rewards are distributed based on the prize pool and team contribution; Wishing Pool: 10 consecutive draws*1.]
The players' eyes lit up instantly; nothing could be more captivating to them than this main quest. Soon, intense gunfire and shouts filled the divine kingdom. The players, demonstrating their "if you show your health bar, even the gods will kill you," engaged in fierce battles with both the animals and the characters in the book.
Zhou Ning still remembered the last battle in the Kingdom of God. The players' pure and young hearts suffered a heavy blow. Each person died an average of over 30 times, and XB seemed to have died 76 times. But this time, the players proved themselves.
It is still possible to run corpses in the kingdom of God. With the tactics of running corpses and skillful and delicate cooperation, monsters continue to die in their hands.
While the players were killing nearby, Zhou Ning was not idle either. He kept an eye on the movements in the world of the book while helping the players kill monsters above level 90. A few of the protagonist-type characters in the book were beyond the demigod category, and Zhou Ning had to kill them one by one.
At this moment, the players' team panels all turned black, indicating that a powerful monster appeared and killed them instantly.
Afterwards, among the many low-level monsters, Zhou Ning saw a familiar face.
A man wearing a deep dark red robe, who looked to be in his middle age and was extremely handsome.
One Piece·Zhou Ning!
The character in this book is the Pirate King Zhou Ning.
The next second, the gray-white ring formed by books in the air projected another beam of light, covering Zhou Ning and others.
