Bestow Blessings

  The blessings of the gods. The language difference between the two sides was too great, and the Persian sorcerer Gorm couldn't understand what the foreign soldiers opposite him were saying, but this didn't stop him from observing their anxious and fearful expressions, guessing the correct meaning behind their words.

  At this time, Gao Mo Da burst out laughing loudly and freely. In his laughter was a sense of pleasure in venting his hatred. Then he gritted his teeth and said:

  "Once it starts, it can't be stopped. Even if I die today, you bastards won't escape either. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, all of you bloody butchers will die here."

  After finishing, in order to show his attitude towards these aliens, this sorcerer, who was not tall and majestic, stretched out his index finger and drew a horizontal line on his neck with great disdain. No translation or explanation is needed, everyone present can see that this is a threatening gesture representing throat-cutting and death, let alone being used in the current situation.

  The giant mudman had exhausted Gao Miao's magical powers, and he was unable to give the mudman any new orders, only maintaining the initial command to destroy the Crusaders. The mudman would not automatically come to protect Gao Miao. Having indulged too much in meditation and books in his past life, he was not a qualified warrior either. When the bearded knight pounced on Gao Miao like a malevolent deity, all he could do was calmly smooth out his wrinkled collar, so as to die with as much dignity as possible.

  Pfft!

  As a sword flash cut through the air, Parsi sorcerer Gao Mo's carotid artery and trachea were completely severed by the sharp blade, and scarlet blood spurted out like a high-pressure water gun, gushing out in an instant.

  Despite this, on Gao Mo Da's face that was twisted in pain, he still maintained the satisfied smile of an avenger. In any case, his goal of avenging his loved ones and friends had been accomplished, and the mud people would annihilate these invaders; Gao Mo Da could die without regrets. As his body began to gradually turn cold, his ears were still ringing with the mournful cries of the enemy's bodies being torn apart by the mud people, and Gao Mo Da was also at peace.

  Life was about to slip away, in a state of moribundness, Gao Mo Da saw a tall and majestic figure radiating warm golden light, but with an indistinct face, appear before his eyes.

  Then, Gao Mo Da felt a voice saying to him:

  "Alas, poor mortals! The god you worship, Ahura Mazda, has been defeated by the gods of the cross and has fled. Without a divine refuge, your soul will find no resting place after death, wandering aimlessly, and the souls of all your loved ones will drift in the void until they are reduced to the smallest particles and reborn as insignificant creatures like ants."

  On the verge of death, Gao Mida's mind was already in a daze. He instinctively felt angry and scolded:

  "You're talking nonsense..."

  In the presence of a devout believer, to utter blasphemy against the deity he worships is one of the unforgivable sins in this world.

  When Gao Mo reached out subconsciously to counterattack, he only then realized the subtlety of the situation. The golden figure that appeared in his consciousness at this moment was probably not a mortal. Although Gao Mo was not a clergyman of the Fire Worship Sect, his family had produced many Fire Worship Sect priests. He had some knowledge of divine affairs and, as a sorcerer with wisdom and insight far beyond ordinary people, things that happened outside human perception were not completely incomprehensible to him.

  Despite being on the verge of death, Gao Mo Da mustered up his spirit and recalled some previously overlooked details.

  After the Crusaders, who were as ferocious as beasts in their slaughter, invaded the Persian Empire, the Zoroastrian religion, which had been revered as a national religion, was unable to counterattack and many of its powerful priests, once honored with the title of "Saint", lost their former dignity and were reduced to ashes by the invaders.

  There is no doubt that the power of these clergy originates from the gods they worship. If the gods themselves abandon them or are unable to grant divine power, all abnormal phenomena can be explained.

  Mingming was on the verge of death, yet he still had to think so hard. Gao Mo thought that his life was both pitiful and laughable. He forced himself to say:

  "......Your Highness, is there anything I can help you with?"

  For humans with relatively short lifespans, deities obviously have almost infinite time to kill, but no matter how bored they are, they won't come all the way just to chat with a dying guy.

  Among all the reasons that Gao Mo Da could think of, the most reasonable one was that this unknown deity needed him to do something on its behalf. Indeed, Gao Mo Da had guessed correctly, and the golden figure trembled with laughter, saying in a low voice:

  "I need someone with wisdom and knowledge like you, you are lucky to be chosen, will you accept?"

  Since ancient times, it's been difficult to find someone who is not afraid of death! Viewing death as a return home is a state of mind. Gao Miao Da also didn't fear death, but the question is, can one not die, and who would actively open their arms to embrace death?

  Gao Mo's family had believed in Zoroastrianism for generations, and he was a clever man. Clever people like to seek benefits and avoid harm, which is human nature. On the other hand, those who set an almost impossible goal and stick to it until the end are rare. This kind of freak either has great wisdom that can see through all interests and entanglements, standing upright and steadfast, or is a fool who doesn't understand what it means to change direction, only knowing how to move forward single-mindedly.

  Ordinary people, neither as wise and profound as the former, able to see through all mysteries, nor like the latter, having a clear goal and persevering unwaveringly.

  Ordinary people living in the mundane world often wander between persistence and abandonment, swaying back and forth with changes in external circumstances. That's why ancient Chinese sages said: "Only the most intelligent and the most foolish are unwavering, while those of average intelligence will be confused."

  Faced with the dual choice of religious conversion and rushing to death, after a little thought, Gao Mo'da, who didn't want to die, finally chose the former and said:

  "It's my honor to serve you, Your Highness."

  At the sound of that, the blurry golden human figure gradually revealed its true appearance, which was indeed Lin Xu's incarnation left in the Western part of the film world.

  Very satisfied, Lin Xuan raised his hand and a golden light shone on Gao Mo Da's body. Immediately, the terrifying wound on his neck began to heal rapidly, and his pale face due to excessive blood loss also became rosy again.

  With ease, he pulled Gao Mo Da back from the brink of death. Lin Xu smiled and said:

  "Alright, you're willing to serve me, so as part of your future benefits, I'll take care of reincarnating the dead here, you can rest assured."

  As for Lin Xu's promise, Gao Mo Da still had some doubts, but he couldn't openly contradict him, so he said:

  "Thank you for your kindness."

  "Remember not to call me Your Highness, I like being called Master or Old Master, either is fine."

  The hierarchy of the Huaxia gods is strict, and the term "Your Excellency" is not to be used lightly. One must be addressed as "Your Excellency", at least until they reach the level of Emperor, otherwise Lin Xu doesn't want to be seen by his colleagues as a presumptuous and ignorant upstart.

  After being corrected twice, Gao Mo Da stood up and bowed, his expression solemn as he said:

  "Yes, respected elder sir. Your loyal servant Gao Mo Da is always willing to serve you."

  With the first victim of the Crusades, Persia, having been destroyed, the second target of the Crusaders was directed at the fragmented Indian subcontinent. For this country with a hot and rainy climate, rich in products but not strong in military power, the situation is now very unfavorable. Under the fierce attack of powerful external enemies, it is only a matter of time before India falls. At present, the Indians can only rely on the unbearable tropical climate and the endless tropical diseases to pin their hopes on. They are eagerly expecting that the Crusaders will be defeated by the natural environment just like the Qin army that invaded the peninsula in the past, and end their expedition in vain.

  Once the chaotic world is opened, no one can stand by and watch. Not only is the internal struggle of the film industry in disarray, but at this moment, it's also a mess outside the industry.

  On a level where ordinary people can't even feel its existence, the space-time vortex zone with a shape comparable to a super-large whirlpool, like a black hole, swallows everything that gets close, including those passing large and small pieces of boundary.

  The main characteristic of the Time-Space Vortex Zone is that it's easy to enter, but hard to leave. In normal circumstances, there is only one way to escape this massive whirlpool: when multiple fragments merge and their mass continuously increases until it exceeds the quality limit that the Time-Space Turbulence can bind. At that moment, the fragments trapped in the Time-Space Vortex Zone will be ejected at high speed like a cannonball, and thus be promoted to a higher spatial dimension, evolving into a true world.

  However, this heaven-made and earth-set great trap is not an easy trick to get rid of. Over time, all the fragments that have not been torn apart by the chaotic flow of space have to nestle in this large funnel, waiting for a slim chance to leave.

  Due to the large number of interfaces gathered in the spacetime turbulent area, just like the density of fish schools in a fishing net is much higher than that in the surrounding waters, resulting in collisions and mergers between different interfaces. This event, which should have occurred only once in a hundred years under normal circumstances, has increased its frequency by several times. Less than half a year after the previous interface collision event, another new impact occurred.

  This time's impact location is still located in the western part of the chip boundary, slightly southward, and it seems that this area will become a hotspot in the future.

  Sensing the emergence of a new piece of land fusion, Lin Xu's incarnation threw down the task of monitoring the Crusaders and their backers, turning to rush towards the southwest.

  "What one hears is often false, what one sees is true. Lin Xu was unable to put his mind at ease no matter what, unless he went to see things for himself."

  In front of it, a winding river flows down from the southern plateau, passing through multiple waterfalls and finally flowing north into the Western Sea.

  If viewed from the air, the entire river is like a long, silver-white ribbon, with some green, grid-like patterns along the edges of the ribbon, like lace trim. In the distance, it's a vast expanse of yellow sand dunes. The desolate, earthy tones and the lush riverbanks form a striking contrast. If the scenery so far is too vague to evoke an immediate visual response, then drifting on this mighty river with its abundant water, those sailboats with triangular sails, as well as the white pyramids standing sentinel along the riverbank, set against the backdrop of yellow sand, will likely remind one of a famous tourist destination in North Africa.
