After ending the call with Lu Zhong, Xiao Zhi soon sensed someone calling him through the Kunyu token.
The person calling him this time was Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan: "Brother Zhi, the sentient being system has issued a heavenly guard mission. This time it is a temporary guard mission."
Xiao Zhi: "Yes, I know. I just informed Lu Zhong that we will meet at the Dachang Shenmen headquarters."
Zhao Yan: "Well, okay, I'll be right over."
Not long after, Xiao Zhi opened his eyes in the quiet mansion.
He did not rush to Shenmen headquarters immediately, but held his head with his hands and was thinking about something.
'I guess that the actions of Emperor Kong Tian and his companions this time are very likely to cause turmoil in this great realm, so they returned from the heaven to the world of living beings and took up residence in Dachang Kingdom and Dachang World to resist this possible crisis.
But I didn't expect that the plan could not keep up with the changes. The sentient system has issued a temporary guard mission. Let us, the god-level players in the overlord world, go to the heaven to perform the guard mission!'
'The sentient system is asking us to go to the heaven to defend in advance!'
'Actually, I should have thought that at this time, the Sentient System might start a guard mission...'
'Emperor Kong Tian and his companions have gone to attack the Great Holy Spirit Realm. This time, the temporary guard mission will be extremely dangerous without the Emperor of Heaven to control the formation...'
Xiao Zhi thought silently, his face looking a little gloomy.
‘Emperor Kongtian and others have left with quite a few high-level players. Can we, the remaining players, be able to defend the heaven...’
After Xiao Zhi sat there with a gloomy expression for a moment, he gritted his teeth as if he had made some kind of determination, and contacted Hu Yang through his Kunyu token.
A quarter of an hour later, Hu Yang's figure appeared in front of the door of Xiao Zhi's quiet mansion, stretched out his hand, and gently knocked on the door of the mansion.
Then there was a creaking sound, the door of the mansion opened, and a voice floated out: "Come in."
Hu Yang nodded and walked into the mansion.
In the courtyard of the mansion, Xiao Zhi and Hu Yang sat opposite each other.
Hu Yang was a little confused and said: "Brother Zhi, you called me over, what's the matter?"
Xiao Zhidao: "The temporary guard mission is about to start. Soon, we will go to carry out this temporary guard mission."
"I know." Hu Yang nodded. After nodding, he smiled bitterly and said, "It's a pity that I'm not a god and can't go into battle with you."
Xiao Zhi did not answer, but asked: "How is your practice of the Law of Gravity going?"
Hu Yang said: "I have encountered some bottlenecks, but they are just small bottlenecks. If nothing happens, I should be able to break through the law of gravity in another year and a half."
"Awesome." Xiao Zhi praised.
He was sincere in his praise. Hu Yang, a non-innate spiritual body possessor and a person who had died once, actually surpassed Lu Zhong in terms of the progress of practicing the law. Zhao Yan, who possesses innate spiritual bodies,
In Xiao Zhi's opinion, this genius is indeed very powerful, and can even be said to be a miracle.
After hearing Xiao Zhi's praise, Hu Yang shook his head and said: "What do I mean? My achievements are not worth mentioning in front of you, brother Zhi. Your water element law has long been mastered."
It has already reached Dzogchen, but my law of gravity has not even reached the level of perfection."
Xiao Zhi smiled and said, "I'm different."
He thought to himself: 'I am just lucky. When I was improving my root bone qualifications, I got a spiritual body. Without this spiritual body, it is probably unknown whether I would have become a god...'
With this thought in his mind, Xiao Zhi raised his hand, and a jade book appeared out of thin air in his hand, exuding a dull light.
"This is for you." Xiao Zhi took a deep look at the jade book in his hand and handed it to Hu Yang.
Hu Yang didn't show any pretense, he took the jade book directly and said with a smile on his face: "Thank you very much, Brother Zhi, I will definitely work hard."
During the years that he had existed as a fire type, whether it was Lu Zhong, Zhao Yan, or Luo Yiyi, they all exchanged magic for him.
And now, Xiao Zhi also exchanged an immortal technique for him.
Hu Yang was still very happy about this.
‘I don’t know what kind of magic technique Brother Zhi exchanged for me.’ Hu Yang thought to himself.
'With my status as the executive brother, the star level of the magical skills exchanged for me should not be low.'
Hu Yang couldn't help but look forward to it.
In anticipation, Hu Yang stared at the jade book in his hand.
After staring for a while, Hu Yang's eyes suddenly widened!
Six stars!
This is actually a six-star magic!
"Am I not dazzled?" An incredible expression appeared on Hu Yang's face.
He rubbed his eyes with his hands and looked at the jade book in his hands again.
Six stars, he is not dazzled, this is indeed a six-star magic.
[Miscellaneous words and great meaning], Six-star Immortal Technique!
Hu Yang took several deep breaths to calm down a little, but his voice was still trembling: "Brother Zhi, this... this is too precious, I can't have it, you'd better take it back, can you give it to me?"
I am satisfied with my three-star magic, this is really too precious."
With that said, he handed the jade book in his hand back to Xiao Zhi.
Xiao Zhi did not reach out to pick it up, but stared at him and said: "Hu Yang, with your intelligence, you should know that the temporary guard mission that Lu Zhong and I need to carry out this time may be very dangerous.
You did this just in case."
Hu Yang fell silent upon hearing this.
After a moment of silence, he put away the jade book in his hand, smiled at Xiao Zhi and said, "Since it was given by Brother Zhi, I will accept this magic. Brother Zhi, I will protect this home for you."
Yes, I’m waiting for your triumphant return!”
Xiao Zhi heard this, nodded with a smile, and said, "We will definitely return in triumph."
Xiao Zhi and Hu Yang sat opposite each other. After chatting for a few more words, Xiao Zhi stood up and said, "I have to go join them."
"Okay, then I should go." Hu Yang quickly stood up and said.
Xiao Zhi nodded slightly and said softly: "Remember, you know this magic and I know it, don't tell anyone."
Hu Yang had a stern expression and replied in a low voice: "Brother Zhi, I know."
Xiao Zhi nodded, he said no more, took a step forward, and his figure suddenly appeared in the lake and disappeared in front of Hu Yang.
Soon after, Xiao Zhi stepped into the hall that belonged to him at the Dachang Shenmen headquarters.
"Great Emperor." The staff stationed in the palace all stood up and shouted.
Lu Zhong, Zhao Yan, and Gorea who were waiting in the palace also stood up and faced Xiao Zhi.
Xiao Zhi nodded slightly, looked around the hall and said, "Where are Luo Yiyi and Zhu Changwu?"
Lu Zhong said: "Yiyi is on her way over and will be there soon."
Zhao Yan then said: "The same goes for Zhu Changwu. I have already urged him."
Xiao Zhi nodded after hearing this and sat on a futon beside Lu Zhong and the others.
After sitting down, neither Xiao Zhi nor Lu Zhong said anything, and the atmosphere seemed a bit silent for a while.
Soon after, Zhu Changwu walked into the hall in a hurry.
"Great Emperor." Zhu Changwu shouted at Xiao Zhi.
"Come and sit." Xiao Zhi smiled and pointed to the futon beside him.
Zhu Changwu sat down as he was told, but seemed a little nervous.
Zhao Yandan on the side smiled and said: "Don't be nervous. In fact, the guard duty is just that. As long as you obey Brother Zhi's command, follow closely beside Brother Zhi, and hug Brother Zhi's thick thigh, right?
There will be no danger."
Zhu Changwu heard this and said with a serious expression: "I will definitely obey orders."
He is the new first god, and among the god-level players in Dachang World, he is the weakest one. Zhu Changwu still knows this.
Xiao Zhi originally wanted to say a few words of modesty, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed his humble words again and said with a smile: "Yes, Zhu Changwu, you just need to follow me and the army closely."
, this is your first time performing a guard mission, what you need to do is to protect yourself and become familiar with the environment."
"Yes, I know." Zhu Changwu nodded seriously.
It wasn't until there were only the last few minutes left before the start of this temporary guard mission that Roy Yiyi rushed over.
"Zhi Shen, I went to deal with some things. I came a little late. I'm sorry." Luo Yiyi said to Xiao Zhi apologetically.
"No problem." Xiao Zhi smiled.
After Luo Yiyi also sat down, Xiao Zhi glanced at Lu Zhong, Zhao Yan, Luo Yiyi, Gorea, and Zhu Changwu one by one, and said with a serious expression: "This is a temporary guard mission.
, this is not an ordinary guard mission. Whether it is Zhu Changwu, a newcomer, or you old people, you must follow me closely and obey my orders. You must not act without authorization. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" Everyone nodded.
The last few minutes passed quickly.
Then I saw a little golden light shining from the sky.
Soon, a golden piece of water, like a curtain of water, fell from the sky.
Xiao Zhi and the others, bathed in this golden light, turned into nothing and quickly disappeared into the air.
After a slight trance, the scenery in front of Xiao Zhi's eyes had completely changed.
At the same time, an invisible sense of oppression acted on him, greatly suppressing his strength.
Xiao Zhi could tell at a glance that this was heaven.
Only the original world like heaven can have such a strong oppressive force.
Currently, they are on a somewhat desolate plain.
This wasteland is so huge that you can't see the end at a glance, and the sky is gray with no sun, moon or stars.
Zhu Changwu's eyes shone with brilliance, looking at the world with some curiosity and some nervousness.
Others, including Xiao Zhi, immediately looked at the sky above their heads.
Zhao Yan was a little confused and asked: "Why is there no bloody vortex, nor the bloody cracks like in the joint guard mission?"
Lu Zhong said in a deep voice: "This temporary guard mission should be a precautionary measure for the sentient system. It is estimated that we will have to wait a while before any intruders appear."
Xiao Zhi nodded after hearing this and expressed his agreement.
He said: "Since the intruders haven't appeared yet, let's take a rest here and strive to be in the best condition to deal with this guard mission."
"Okay." Lu Zhong and others nodded after hearing this.
Xiao Zhi stood quietly on the wasteland. The ground under his feet soon became wet, and then turbid quicksand water gurgled out.
The gurgling quicksand water soon accumulated into a small puddle at Xiao Zhi's feet.
The water is still spreading rapidly in all directions.
Lu Zhong and the others were already used to this.
Zhu Changwu, the new god, looked at his feet with wide eyes and said, "Is this the legendary quicksand water?"
"Yes, this is the water of quicksand." Xiao Zhi nodded and said: "This water of quicksand is my home field. If you encounter danger during the guard mission, you can dive into this water of quicksand to escape.
.”
"Okay, I understand." Zhu Changwu nodded.
As he spoke, the quicksand water summoned by Xiao Zhi had upgraded from a small puddle to a small lake, and it was still expanding in all directions at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, Xiao Zhi also emitted wisps of his divine power, sensing the area and trying to establish contact with the area in front of him.
Once he establishes a connection with this area, he will be able to borrow the power of the world in this area for his own use to enhance his combat effectiveness and endurance.
Gorea is condensing rock armor.
After condensing a pair of rock armor on his own body, he condensed another rock armor on Zhu Changwu's body.
"Thank you." Zhu Changwu thanked him quickly.
"No matter what I'm thankful for, it's all my own people." Gorea said with a smile.
"I'll go up and take a look." Luo Yiyi said.
As she spoke, her figure turned into a black stream of light, soared into the sky, and reached an altitude of thousands of feet above the ground in a breath. Her eyes shone with an inexplicable light, and she glanced in all directions.
Xiao Zhi raised his head and looked at Luo Yiyi, who was hovering high in the sky.
Then he heard a vast voice that only he could hear: "Improve her eyesight eightfold!"
Not long after, Luo Yiyi returned to the ground. She looked at Xiao Zhi and said with a delighted expression: "Zhi Shen, has your wish-making ability been restored?"
"Well, I've recovered." Xiao Zhidan responded with a smile.
"That's great." Roy Yi said.
"Yiyi, did you see anything?" Lu Zhong asked.
"No." Luo Yiyi shook his head and said: "There is nothing here. It seems that only our team of players exists."
"Players from other overlord worlds may have been arranged elsewhere by the sentient being system." Xiao Zhi said.
He glanced at the Gate of All Lives ornament he wore around his neck out of the corner of his eye.
He put this pendant inside his clothes. Others couldn't see it, but he could sense it.
At this time, in the pure land of all beings filled with black mist, Xiao Zhi held a black umbrella, still looking for a target worthy of his action.
