Muscular Rabbits Legion: “No one can escape from the novice village!”
Chapter 444 - Chapter 444 Chapter 434 Choose a Patron

Chapter 444: Chapter 434: Choose a Patron Chapter 444: Chapter 434: Choose a Patron The system responded this time, “Level Seven, in the land of the gods, is a very weak being and cannot rely on its own power to ensure the survival of its own race. For survival, you need the protection of a guardian god.

Each totem corresponds to a divine being.

The choice is mutual, you choose the divine being, but the divine being may not choose you.

Moreover, this relationship can be terminated unilaterally at any time.

If you sever your relationship with the divine being, and if the divine being becomes angry, it might annihilate your entire race. Of course, they might also not care at all and let you go.

If the divine being severs the relationship, you can also destroy the divine being, of course, if you have enough power.

You need to worship and offer sacrifices to the divine being, providing Faith Power in exchange; the divine being will protect you from external harm.

If the divine being is pleased, it might even issue tasks and reward you with elixirs, cultivation techniques, heavenly materials, divine weapons, etc.”

Upon hearing this, Yi Zheng scratched his head and said, “System, why does it sound like you’re asking me to be a lackey?”

The system completely ignored his banter and continued, “World of All Gods, survival of the fittest.

When you are strong enough that others are willing to worship you, you will also become a guardian god.

Please choose your totem and guardian god.”

Yi Zheng knew that complaints were useless, and making a choice was the key.

But what to choose?

He carefully studied these totems; each totem corresponded to a divine being.

Among these divine beings, some were powerful while others were weak.

The more powerful the divine being, the larger the totem; conversely, the weaker the divine being, the smaller the totem.

The system prompted again, “It is crucial to choose a divine being you can please, based on your own power. Worshipping divine beings with Faith Power is fundamental, but offering potent sacrifices is also crucial.

Therefore, rashly choosing a high-level divine being might lead to disaster if the sacrifices are too meager, not only failing to gain the divine being’s favor but also provoking its wrath.”

Additionally, the higher the level of the divine being, the more numerous the worshiping tribes, and the greater the competition.”

The system clarified this quite explicitly, meaning that a powerful divine being does not necessarily imply the best choice because they require top-grade offerings and are harder to serve, so the one suitable for your current strength is the best.

However, in Yi Zheng’s eyes, there was only one suitable choice, which was a sufficiently powerful guardian god!

If he had to rely on someone powerful to survive, why not choose the strongest?

However, the information about guardian gods on these totems was very scarce, showing only a pitiful name without any level!

Yet, these divine beings had a row of numbers; some had many numbers, while others had few.

Among the smaller totems, the one with the largest number displayed a nine on the Jade-Faced Fox Fairy totem.

The rest were mountain demons and spirits, such as the Wolf God, Dog God, Fierce Fox God, Ghost Power God, etc., with only about five, and some even as low as one.

These mountain demons and spirits clearly weren’t the regular army, and Yi Zheng simply ignored them.

As for the numbers, Yi Zheng guessed they might relate to levels or something else.

The larger ones were different, marked with the titles of Mountain Gods and River Gods, like the Small Round Mountain God, Clear Stream River God, and so on.

These Mountain Gods and River Gods were different; any number was over ten, and some even reached twenty.

Yi Zheng increasingly felt that this was likely akin to a level system.

Above the Mountain Gods were gradually larger totems. Yi Zheng didn’t go through them one by one; he just glanced over and noticed that the bigger the totem, the larger the number.

Just as Yi Zheng confirmed that these numbers were akin to levels, he discovered an astonishing variation on the three largest totems!

One of the totems displayed the number eighteen thousand!

It was the largest number Yi Zheng had seen so far!

This seemed alright since he was the largest demon.

But another totem, equally large, displayed a zero.

And another totem displayed a three!

Yi Zheng was baffled, wondering how the largest totems could have three and zero?

Perhaps these numbers did not represent levels.

Yi Zheng examined these three totems.

The totem with eighteen thousand depicted a kind middle-aged man; glancing at the name, Yi Zheng jumped with fright–the East King!

He was all too familiar with this name; in Tianxia, the East King was known as the leader of the male gods, ranking below The Three Pure Ones but above the Four Imperials, a definite Primordial Great God, an old monster.

Yi Zheng’s heart stirred immediately, feeling that this was a vital support!

However, Yi Zheng was not in a rush; he looked at the second one, the one marked with zero.

It depicted a block of ice, within which a woman was faintly visible, frozen inside; looking at the name–Ice Woman.

Yi Zheng had never heard of the Ice Woman.

“Maybe, the numbers really do represent levels. The size might reference something else, not levels or power, like, chest size?” Yi Zheng muttered subconsciously, suddenly feeling a coldness around, shivering uncontrollably.

At the same time, a cold snort from a woman echoed, and Yi Zheng felt as if he fell into an ice cave, as if his entire blood, cells, and even his soul were frozen.

That instant, Yi Zheng felt as if he’d gone from life to death, and back again.

It seemed like a mere instant, yet also like countless years had passed…

Anyway, when the cold dissipated, Yi Zheng was completely drained, looking at the totem with lingering fear and quickly threw it away, muttering to himself about how creepy it was!

He looked at the last totem that was simply marked with a three.

Upon picking it up, Yi Zheng felt this totem was even more bizarre than the Ice Woman!

The things carved on it had a human outline, but with a leopard’s tail, tiger’s teeth, and wings on its back, posed as though howling at the sky.

However you looked at it, it resembled a stitched-together ugly monster, and it seemed ill-tempered, not a good sort!

This time, Yi Zheng was wiser, not daring to make reckless comments, just pondering internally, “Could this also be some Mountain Demon or Wild Monster? I mean, if it wasn’t a Mountain Demon or Wild Monster, could it be this ugly?”

Yi Zheng casually checked the name, and then he was completely dumbfounded.

The three bold characters before him read–The Queen Mother of the West!

“Holy moly! This is The Queen Mother of the West? Equal to the East King? This can’t be right. Why has she only got a three? Could it be that these numbers aren’t levels?” Yi Zheng’s brain was a mess.

Unfortunately, the system didn’t provide further clarification, making it clear that it was up to him to choose.

Yi Zheng glanced at the East King, then at the Ice Woman, and finally at The Queen Mother of the West, his mind working furiously, thinking: “Forget the Ice Woman, I’ve never heard of her and she seems high-maintenance, plus the number is too small. If the number represents power, wouldn’t I end up having to protect her?”

Yi Zheng then looked at the East King and The Queen Mother of the West.

In the legends, these two exist side by side, one governing all the gods and male fairies below the heavens, and the other all goddesses and female fairies.

In theory, their strengths should be comparable.

But the numbers differed significantly.

Yi Zheng fretted, scratching his head, and finally closed his eyes and said, “Damn it, either way, they’re both influential. I’ll just leave it up to fate, close my eyes, and pick whichever one I touch!”

Thinking this, Yi Zheng spun around more than a hundred times, a bit disoriented, and then randomly reached out in front of him, grabbing hold of a totem.

Upon opening his eyes, it was distinctly the East King!

Yi Zheng sighed, saying, “Okay then, if this is what fate dictates, I’ll choose The Queen Mother of the West!”

Although the East King seemed quite normal, Yi Zheng instinctively felt The Queen Mother of the West was more reliable. After all, women are generally more persuadable.

The East King, on the other hand, seemed smart and not easily fooled!

Moreover, Yi Zheng felt his appearance might somewhat appeal to a goddess, but to a male god, it would just be grill fodder.

“Ding! Your level is only Level 7, one star, are you sure you want to choose the top-grade Guardian God, The Queen Mother of the West?” the system finally confirmed.

Yi Zheng nodded: “Confirmed!”

The system said, “Note, once chosen, if the selected party refuses, you will lose this chance for system-assisted selection of a Guardian God. Confirm?”

“Confirmed!” Yi Zheng nodded without hesitation.

Choosing The Queen Mother of the West, Yi Zheng had some other considerations; from his point of view, even if he chose some other Mountain Demon or Wild Monster as his guardian god, they might not accept Yi Zheng.

Since it was a 50% chance either way, he saw no reason not to choose The Queen Mother of the West.

Moreover, he was burdened with a mission to kill gods, and due to this task, his connection with gods and Divine Beasts was arguably closer than other beings.

The Queen Mother of the West might take him in considering he was set to kill the Deceptive Beast, increasing his chances a tiny bit.

So, this was not a wild gamble, but a calculated move.

The next moment, a crisp ding sound.

“Selection complete, destination, West Kunlun, descending!”

Then Kunlun Mountain grew increasingly larger before Yi Zheng’s eyes, until he plunged headfirst towards the foot of West Kunlun Mountain!

As he neared the ground, Yi Zheng figured he must pull off some mid-air rolls to make a superhero landing that suited him.

Then, he tried, he flipped, and then…

Splat!

Yi Zheng face-planted onto the ground.

With his Level 7, one-star Body Strength, he didn’t manage to make a crater in the earth, just kicked up a bit of dust.

“Ouch, ouch, ouch…” Yi Zheng covered his face, running around in pain.

It had been years since he’d felt this kind of pain, Yi Zheng swore, this ground was harder than iron!

After running a couple of laps and recovering from the pain, Yi Zheng looked around.

He was on a high and low, undulating plain, behind which lay a range of snow-capped mountains reaching high into the clouds at the far end of the sky!

Great Snow Mountain was snow-lined from midway up the mountain, below which was a forest. As the climate warmed downhill, the trees changed until they were merely grass at Yi Zheng’s location.

Looking ahead, the rolling plain was bordered by a river which gathered into a small lake not far away, its waters as green and lustrous as jade, very beautiful.

Yi Zheng knew this was now his home.

“Hey… wait a minute, where are my subordinates?”

Then, from above, a chorus of exclamations rang out.
