Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 239

239. Chapter 239, ‘Unique’ Upgrade Sequence Unlocked

Stick to being a human, or ascend to become a god?

This option is now in front of Gu Hang.

To be honest, the temptation of ascending to become a god is very great.

Immortality, eternal immortality, this is what many rulers of the human world dream of?

Now, it is in front of Gu Hang, ready to be picked.

Although Gu Hang just killed an evil god with his own hands, it does not mean that becoming a god is really that bad.

The reason why the original angry owl was finished was that it died stupidly.

Gu Hang is not like the original angry owl, who is essentially a brainless beast that became a god. He believes that if he becomes a god, he will never fall into the same situation as that guy.

On the contrary, as long as he becomes a god at this moment, what the original angry owl has been pursuing for hundreds of years will be within his reach.

Didn’t the evil god always want to open the curtain between his kingdom of God and the real world, let his kingdom of God descend on the human world, and drag the entire angry owl star from the material world into the real world to become a part of his kingdom of God?

After Gu Hang becomes a god, he can do it immediately.

The Chaos Formation is ready-made, so he doesn’t need to worry about it; he doesn’t need to start a cult, and the entire alliance government can be transferred on the spot. These people who believe in him, respect him, and rely on him can soon be transformed into his power.

With the power brought by tens of millions of believers in the real world, the connection between his kingdom of God and the real world will be greatly strengthened. It won’t take him long. He will be able to bring the laws of the kingdom of God to the real world. To the extent of covering the laws of physics.

At that point, the goal of the kingdom of God coming to the world will basically be achieved.

At the same time, he also has a springboard to the real world. He can lead the angry owl star people who believe in him, and the demon creatures he created in the kingdom of God, to launch an expedition to the vast starry sky, drag one planet after another into his kingdom of God, and enslave countless people into his believers…

“Dream on.”

Gu Hang said coldly in his heart to something that he didn’t know whether it existed.

He has realized that this is by no means a smooth road, but a dead end, the kind that will definitely end if you take it.

First of all, the most important point is that if he embraces the abyss of hell and accepts the control of psychic energy, then he will no longer be himself.

His will will be driven by the instinct given to him by the abyss of hell, and his thoughts will gradually be distorted and replaced. He will become a puppet of power, a part of the abyss of hell, and a slave of psychic energy…

No matter what he eventually becomes, he will not be himself.

Secondly, even if Gu Hang doesn’t care about “I am no longer myself”, it is extremely stupid to do so from the perspective of the coldest practical interests.

He can indeed easily pull the Angry Owl Star into his kingdom of God and greatly enhance his strength, but… then what?

Launch an expedition to the starry sky?

Don’t be funny.

When he kills the battle nuns here, ascends to become a god, begins to transform the people’s beliefs, and covers the physical rules of the planet with the laws of the real world, the imperial navy in the sky will find out.

Even if that frigate can’t do anything to him, what he will face next is the attack of the Pegasus fleet equipped with seven cruisers, thirty-three frigates, and hundreds of patrol ships.

By the way, tens of millions of Astra Militarum troops stationed in the Pegasus sector will also arrive.

By then, the number of the Imperial forces coming to fight him may be greater than the entire population of the entire Wrathful Owl Star.

If they win… that would be the big one.

The war machine of the Human Empire will really start at this moment. A larger fleet, hundreds of millions of Astra Militarum legions, will come to the Wrathful Owl Star again. Along with them, there may be some Skitarii of the Mechanicus, some troops of the Inquisition, some Battle Sisters of the Ecclesiarchy…

or even a fully staffed Space Marine Chapter, with their Chapter Fleet and Mortal Auxiliary Forces, coming to the Wrathful Owl Star!

A planet is completely dragged into the abyss of hell and completely dominated by the laws of the Warp. This kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable to the Empire. For example, refer to the war that destroyed the Wrathful Owl Star.

Even the four real evil gods in the abyss of hell who cannot be named and who have divided up almost the entire abyss of hell, have a high probability of being driven back directly if they send their demons to directly participate in a full-scale invasion of an imperial world, not to mention the ascended Gu Hang.

The lesser gods among the lesser gods will probably be called a nuisance even after they die.

Betraying humanity means death!

The emperor can bear witness to my loyalty!

“Dream on! I refuse!”

When he once again emphasized his attitude in his mind, a terrifying scream erupted from the depths of his soul!

Immediately, Gu Hang felt a sharp pain that tore his soul apart. This power that erupted from his heart was pulled to its maximum in an instant, almost tearing him apart.

Although there were no words, Gu Hang felt that it was like there was a terrifying existence in the dark, manipulating everything with the attitude of destroying him if he couldn’t get it.

However, the [Iron Will] that had been silent for a while before began to work at this moment.

Gu Hang has made a choice, so these things in his mind, in his heart, and in his soul are identified as harmful and rejected by [Iron Will].

However, Iron Will does not work in a vacuum. Things that are not strong enough are isolated casually; the current one is a bit too strong, which requires Gu Hang, the subject, to provide more abundant spiritual energy as the source for the ability of [Iron Will] to play a greater role.

But unfortunately… Gu Hang doesn’t have it now. He

just finished a battle and is in a state of spiritual exhaustion.

If not, it would not be so easy to be taken advantage of at the beginning.

But in general, after [Iron Will] took effect, the pain in Gu Hang’s soul was relieved a lot.

Although it was still painful, he could at least think.

And the first result he thought out was: If this continues, he will die in about two minutes.

The next thing to think about is how to save himself.

Normally, there is no way. The spiritual energy is dry, what else can I do?

But Gu Hang casually opened the system panel.

Here, he saw two changes.

First, in the [Hero] interface, on his own personal interface, the words “Inexperienced” that were originally displayed after reaching level 6 had changed to “Upgradable”.

Sure enough, it was expected.

Although Gu Hang’s level had remained at level 5 for some time, many things that happened during that time were accumulated in the experience pool and did not disappear directly. Perhaps, when he was promoted from level 5 to level 6, he did not consume all the experience points. At the moment, he killed another evil god, which also brought a significant increase in experience points, allowing him to directly upgrade to level 7.

The increase in spiritual attributes that must be brought about by the upgrade should be able to solve Gu Hang’s current problem.

However, after trying it, Gu Hang was a little dumbfounded.

The last time he upgraded from level 5 to level 6, the required grace points were 2,000; this time, from level 6 to level 7, it would take 10,000 grace points!

This is too exaggerated!

Gu Hang was indeed frightened by this number at first.

But then, after thinking about it carefully, it seemed normal.

The grace points required to upgrade from level 4 to level 5 are only 500, and the upgrade to level 6 will become 2,000. According to this posture, it is reasonable to upgrade to level 7 with 10,000.

Gu Hang didn’t have enough points for the gift.

However, he didn’t forget that he saw another changed screen in the system interface.

He exited the [Hero] interface and entered the event interface.

[Storm is Coming: Event Completed]

[The evil cult that believes in the original angry owl broke out in its final madness at the moment of its destruction, summoning the evil god they believe in and stepping into the human world. However, you and your brave warriors, in turn, stepped into the abyss of hell and faced the evil god head-on. ]

[You not only repelled the incoming evil god, prevented it from descending into the human world, but also killed it! ]

[No matter what choice you will make later, you and your warriors have indeed created a great cause at this moment! ]

[Event Reward:]

[Gift Points +15000]

[Your characteristic ‘Enemy of the Storm’ is upgraded to ‘Master of the Storm’]

[You are the master of the storm, and the power of wind and thunder is at your disposal. You have mastered a series of storm magic, and you can now control the power of the storm at will. Calling on the power of the storm around you in any way will be absolutely suppressed. Your spiritual attribute +2. ]

Very good!

Help in times of need!

After clicking on confirmation, the settlement reward of the event is in hand.

The characteristics of the Storm Master are very strong and useful. Since then, Gu Hang has obtained a new psychic system in addition to the conventional telekinetic control type psychic system. Moreover, purely from the perspective of destructive power, the power of the Storm psychic energy is obviously stronger.

Of course, this characteristic is useless at the moment.

But the two spiritual attributes attached to this characteristic are real. It

directly doubled Gu Hang’s spirituality!

In an instant, Gu Hang felt a sudden sense of coolness in his heart. The spiritual power that had been dried up began to grow significantly out of thin air.

It did not increase directly to full. He felt that the total amount of psychic energy he had now was about 60% of his full state.

However, even this 60% was almost his peak state before he obtained the [Storm Master] characteristic.

After obtaining this “fresh force”, the protective effectiveness of [Iron Will] instantly skyrocketed!

Those malicious screams that wanted to tear his soul apart were all isolated outside. He could still hear a little bit, but it was harmless.

He could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Glancing over, Grit and her sisters were still being stopped outside. But these female warriors were obviously very concerned about his condition, and their eyes were staring at him across the crowd.

It was a big trouble.

But Gu Hang was too lazy to pay attention to them for the time being.

He still had something very important to do.

He raised his eyes and looked at the body of the original angry owl in the distance.

After being killed, the evil god fell there, and his huge body was dissipating. It was gradually being decomposed into the most basic energy and returning to the real world.

The speed of dissipation was actually not slow, but its body was too huge, and it had not yet dissipated.

However, what Gu Hang was looking at at the moment was not these manifestations.

He could see through his spiritual vision that there was a core thing that was still in the gap between the real world and the real world.

That was the divine core of the original angry owl, or in other words, its real world essence. In his spiritual vision, it looked like a glowing sphere.

The so-called “choice” mentioned above, to put it bluntly, was whether Gu Hang wanted to merge with this thing.

If he merged, it was equivalent to embracing the Hell Abyss, and the Hell Abyss also accepted him, so he could naturally replace the original angry owl and become the God of Storms, becoming that… lesser god among lesser gods.

He did choose to refuse, but this thing was caught in the curtain of reality and could not escape for a while.

After [Iron Will] isolated the harassment of the soul scream, Gu Hang could still vaguely feel that this piece of the kingdom of God, which had lost its master, was gradually beginning to collapse. Without a master, it could no longer maintain its existence. In the next few days, this piece of the kingdom of God would collapse into the most common chaos in the Hell Abyss.

At the same time, this place was gradually beginning to reject him and all non-real world native existences.

But the sense of rejection was not strong, and Gu Hang still had time to do something.

His spiritual energy probed the essence of the real world.

Don’t get me wrong, Gu Hang certainly didn’t want to merge with it. He just felt that this must be a good thing, including the collapsing kingdom of God.

It was a pity to destroy it alive. Either

merge it or give it up?

Gu Hang wanted to have it all.

He was thinking, is there any way to master it besides fusion?

He tried to probe it with his psychic power, but found that the strength was not enough.

He couldn’t control it.

The thing didn’t have much power left, but its status was very high. Although it was very passive to be trapped in the curtain of reality, Gu Hang’s attempts to “drill” in with psychic power were all blocked.

After thinking for a while, Gu Hang did another thing.

He reopened the [Hero] interface and chose himself.

Just now, he wanted to upgrade to level 7, but he didn’t have enough gift points, but at this moment, after receiving 15,000 gift points as an event reward, it must be enough.

He directly clicked on the upgrade.

The 10,000 gift points were gone, and instead, the familiar upgrade options appeared.

What appeared in front of him were still the familiar five options.

This time, of course, he had to choose spirituality. Gu Hang has invested a lot in this direction and gained a lot. Next, if nothing unexpected happens, he will certainly stick to this path and go all the way.

If nothing unexpected happens, upgrading may improve attributes; if he draws another spiritual talent, there may be another improvement in spiritual attributes. I don’t ask for much, as long as I can increase two more points of spirituality, the power that Gu Hang can control at the moment will be much stronger, and I should be able to try again to see if I can grasp the source of divinity.

However, as expected… something unexpected happened.

Just like every time he upgraded in the past, he would subconsciously click on the [Unique] option that he could never click on, and he clicked it this time.

Logically speaking, there should be a prompt [The upgrade items of the unique sequence have not been unlocked yet, and the upgrade failed. ], and then he should be asked to re-select.

But this time, it’s different.

[The upgrade items of the unique sequence have been unlocked, and the upgrade is successful. ]
