Chapter 1121, Five Gods
Glancing down, the dwarf leader was still talking to the queen incessantly and with a proud look on his face, talking about the good intentions of the dwarves.
Judging from the other party's unpretentious excitement and pride, the dwarves were most likely being used.
After obtaining this treasure, I actually planned to use them to deliver it to you.
In fact, it’s easy to tell who would do this.
Ordinary professionals probably don’t even know the information about the divine realm.
Wu Heng raised his head, with just the right amount of appreciation on his face, and his gaze fell on the dwarf envoy.
The envoy felt the gaze and immediately stood up straight, his eyes full of anticipation.
"I like this gift very much." Wu Heng smiled and placed the crown and the wooden box on the side table. "I see the dwarves' intentions."
Upon hearing this, the dwarf envoy was overjoyed and bowed deeply. "It is the greatest honor for our race to be favored by you, my Lord!"
Wu Heng continued, "The Lingqi Cult is planning to build a power plant and public lighting system for the Wood Elf Kingdom. If the dwarves are interested, you can be given priority for the next cooperation project."
"Interested! Of course I'm interested!" The dwarf envoy nearly jumped up in excitement, expressing his gratitude repeatedly. "Thank you for your support, sir! The dwarves are also planning to build more Lingqi churches within their territory. Once the blueprints are completed, they will be submitted to Treasure Island for review as soon as possible!"
"Very good, go and rest first! If you have any questions, you can directly ask the archbishop." Wu Heng said in a gentle tone.
"Yes, sir!" The dwarf envoy saluted respectfully again and left the hall contentedly.
Only Wu Heng and the Wood Elf Queen were left in the hall again.
The queen hesitated for a moment, her tone hinting at a challenge. "My lord, if you like a crown, the wood elves' craftsmen can also make one for you. With the elves' aesthetic taste, it is certainly not inferior to that of the dwarves."
Wu Heng laughed when he heard this: "I'm glad you're so thoughtful. I'm not used to wearing these on a normal day."
"What the dwarves can do, the wood elves will never lag behind." The queen added firmly.
Wu Heng smiled and nodded. After chatting with her for a few more words, the queen got up and returned to her residence to rest.
In the empty hall, Wu Heng sat alone on the throne, his expression gradually becoming calm.
He took out the [Eye of Wishes] again, and his fingertips brushed across the luxurious metal and the gem with the starry sky inside, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
No wonder there was no trouble during this period, it turns out he was holding it in for a long time...
Wu Heng thought to himself.
The side effect is that the coordinates are exposed. If you don’t have a panel, the coordinates of the divine realm may be deceived by the other party.
This old guy is really cunning!
After thinking it over in his mind, he put the crown back into the drawer of the side table and disappeared.
……
Lilith's divine realm!
Wu Heng's figure quietly emerged, looking around curiously.
It was dark here, but not completely black. It was more like the moment before dawn, when the sky had not yet appeared but a faint light had already seeped through.
Under your feet is an ancient cobblestone road, extending to a towering Gothic castle in the distance.
The spire of the castle pierces the hazy sky. On one side is a courtyard full of flowers and green plants, and on the other side is a modern open racing track. Several motorcycles with smooth lines and cool shapes are parked quietly there, forming a wonderful mixed style with the castle.
"How is it? My divine domain is pretty good, right?" Lilith appeared, her voice filled with a hint of pride.
"It's very much your style, except that the lighting is a little dim. Aren't you afraid of tripping when walking?" Wu Heng commented with a smile.
Lilith snapped her fingers upon hearing this.
In an instant, elegant streetlights emitting soft white light lit up one after another along both sides of the cobblestone road, illuminating the environment clearly and emotionally. "Is this okay?"
"Almost." Wu Heng nodded with satisfaction.
Lilith naturally took his arm and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see the inside of the castle."
The interior of the castle continues the dark classical style, with tall domes and stained glass windows.
The walls are covered with paintings of various styles, from classical oil paintings to abstract art, modern and otherworldly.
Wu Heng followed her through the corridors, halls, and library, and finally sat down in the luxurious living room of the main castle.
"Do you feel lonely living alone in such a large divine domain?" Wu Heng asked casually, leaning back in a comfortable soft chair.
Lilith looked up at him, her lips curled slightly, "That depends on the situation. If I really feel lonely, I will come live in your divine realm."
Wu Heng smiled triumphantly, "Okay! I've already reserved a room for you."
Lilith rolled her eyes at him and said, "When the others become gods, are you planning to put them all together? You really know how to enjoy the blessing of having many people."
Then he turned serious and said, "Let's get down to business. I originally planned to go back through the Blood Clan's anchor point and completely merge the Gray Saint Church into the Lingqi Church system."
When Wu Heng mentioned this, his expression instantly turned serious: "Don't worry, there might be some problems over there right now."
Lilith frowned.
We agreed before that we could return safely after becoming a god, so why did the problem arise again?
"What's wrong?" Lilith asked, her tone full of concern.
Wu Heng took a deep breath and said, "Today, the dwarven envoys sent a gift to celebrate my ascension to the throne of God..."
As he spoke, he raised his hand.
In the center of the hall, soil particles and various elements quickly gathered together to construct the [Eye of Wishes] crown, but this was just a model and did not contain any special effects.
Lilith examined it carefully and nodded. "The craftsmanship is indeed exquisite and gorgeous, but... this doesn't seem like the usual style of the dwarves. You said it was from the elves, so it's more likely."
As the leader of the association, she is very familiar with the craft characteristics of each ethnic group.
Wu Heng nodded approvingly. "I agree with you. I suspect this wasn't forged by them, but rather obtained from somewhere, just to offer a token of appreciation."
"But is there something wrong with the crown itself?" Lilith keenly grasped the key point.
Wu Heng said solemnly, "This is a huge problem! This strange artifact has a hidden side effect. It can continuously record and reveal the specific coordinates of the wearer's divine realm."
Lilith's pupils shrank slightly, and she immediately realized, "You mean... this is a trap set by the gods of the Church?"
"That's right," Wu Heng said confidently. "The dwarves might not even have a clear concept of the divine realm, and the Molten Core is in my hands. There's no way they could have created such a unique artifact specifically for the gods. This must be the work of the gods of the Vatican."
Lilith's eyes grew serious. She pondered for a moment, a fierce look flashing in her eyes. "Now that you and I are both gods, if we join forces, we should have a chance of killing him, right?"
Wu Heng pondered and shook his head. "There's still a risk. He's been a god for thousands of years. His understanding and use of divine power are far more sophisticated than ours. He didn't gain the upper hand in the previous battle with his clones, but in a showdown with his true form, he might very well reveal abilities we couldn't anticipate."
He paused, emphasizing, "More importantly, since he deliberately set up this trap, he must have a certain degree of confidence, or he may have helpers."
Lilith nodded, agreeing with Wu Heng's analysis, and added a key point: "The location of the divine realm is the greatest secret of the gods. He may not only want to deal with you, but more likely wants to release the coordinates of your divine realm to lure other gods to deal with you."
"That's possible." Wu Heng looked solemn. It was not surprising that the other party used this method of killing someone with a borrowed knife.
"So what are your plans next?" Lilith asked with concern.
Wu Heng rubbed his brows. "There's no foolproof plan yet. But the most important thing right now is that the news of your godhood must be kept secret. If the enemy learns that our strength has doubled, his revengeful actions might change accordingly."
"I understand, don't worry." Lilith nodded seriously.
I have no plans to go back and take a look.
When dealing with gods, we can't let this little thing ruin the whole thing.
The two discussed countermeasures for various possible situations.
Afterwards, they left Lilith's divine realm together and returned to the zombie world.
In the zombie world, Lilith told the others about the divine realm, while Wu Heng went to see his daughter Qinqin and his newly born son Ryan.
In the bedroom, Xiao Xiao held Ryan carefully, rocking him gently and telling stories in a startling manner.
The baby stared at her with big eyes, as if he didn't understand but found it very interesting.
……
Return to the divine realm.
Wu Heng soaked in the hot spring, thinking about the next plan in his mind.
The gods of the Holy See deliberately set up the crown trap, the core purpose of which was to locate their own divine domain.
If the other party realizes that the conspiracy has been exposed, they will inevitably take more covert and drastic follow-up measures, and you will be put in a passive position again.
"I have to create a false impression..." Wu Heng thought to himself, "I have to convince the other party that I value this crown very much and just haven't had time to wear it yet, not that I've discovered a conspiracy."
My thoughts gradually became clear and a plan came to my mind.
"Perhaps, we can leave it to the Queen of Wood Elves." Thinking of the queen who was both dignified and capable, Wu Heng felt that she was the one who could carry out the task.
With a thought, consciousness passed through the anchor point of faith and descended to the living room of the Queen of Treasure Island.
It was late at night, and only a bedside lamp was on in the bedroom.
However, the scene before him left Wu Heng stunned.
The Wood Elf Queen, 'Garlanthir', had not yet rested. She was tossing and turning in bed, wearing a purple lace nightgown that was completely different from her usual majestic temperament.
Then he sat down on the bed, took out his phone, and found a photo of himself and Wu Heng. He propped his chin on the back of his hand and looked at it in fascination, "Lord God, it's so perfect..."
"I don't know if I meet the requirements of the gods..."
Wu Heng silently watched all this from the anchor point, feeling surprised.
This queen, who is always calm, self-possessed, noble and graceful in front of the public, actually likes herself so much in private?
Am I so attractive now?
After a long while, the queen went to wash her hands, then collapsed on the bed with some weakness, muttering to herself, "Really...really! My Lord has Shannara, how could I do this..."
He tidied up the room in an embarrassed manner, put away the soundproof kettle, and lay down again.
Just as she was drifting off to sleep, Wu Heng felt it was almost time, so he sent a calm voice through the anchor: "Garlan Hill."
The queen suddenly woke up, and after identifying the source of the sound, she hurriedly stood up, not even having time to tidy up her messy nightgown, and knelt on the ground: "Lord God!"
"Sorry to disturb your rest." Wu Heng's voice remained steady.
"No, no! Do you have any instructions?" The queen's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes glanced around vigilantly, fearing that her private actions had been seen.
"I have a task for you." Wu Heng went straight to the point.
"Please give your orders!" the queen replied respectfully.
Wu Heng said slowly, "I am very pleased with the crown presented by the dwarves. I have decided to hold an exhibition on Treasure Island soon, using this crown as the centerpiece for believers to admire. In the past, such events were often co-organized by the Wood Elves, but this time, you will be fully responsible and invite all major kingdoms and races."
"Exhibition? The crown?" The Queen quickly gathered her thoughts and got back to work. "Yes, my lord. Besides the crown, are there any other exhibits?"
