Chapter 177 Gun of Destiny
From Blue Charles' words, the demons could tell that the Charles Chamber of Commerce must have encountered some demons who did not obey orders over the years, causing the Chamber of Commerce to suffer considerable losses.

Therefore, Blue Charles attached great importance to the command issue among the demon guards, and immediately defined two four-star demons as guard leaders. The other six three-star demons had to obey the orders of the two four-star demons.

The six three-star demons had no objection to this.

In hell, strength is respected.

When it comes to the Demon Castle’s certification of the demons’ star rating, strength is the first factor.

A low-star demon might possess strength beyond its own star level.

But high-star demons at least have the strength of their own star level.

There can't be such a thing as a five-star demon with only the strength of a four-star demon.

There are strong demons among low-star demons, but there can be no weak demons among high-star demons!
This is the consensus of everyone.

Although Oaks possesses strength comparable to that of a five-star demon when he exerts his full strength, he has no intention of showing off.

The reason for accepting this mission was, on the one hand, that the Metal Life was along the way, and on the other hand, it was also to bring Yagonia to experience the life of a demon.

Seeing the performance of these demons, Blue Charles felt relieved.

What he feared most was that there would be troublemakers among the demons who took on the escort mission.

In that case, it would be fine if they didn't encounter robbers, but once they encountered robbers, these troublemakers often wanted to be in the spotlight and would not obey orders.

In that case, even if the troublemakers killed all the robbers, the caravan would suffer great losses because there was no demon to protect it.

"Now that everyone understands, let's go!"

Having said that, Blue Charles took out a metal life from his space ring, threw it into the sky, and it turned into a griffin that was a hundred meters in size.

After everyone entered the metal life, Blue Charles led the people in the caravan into the room in the metal life to rest, and handed over the control of the metal life to the demon guards.

"Everyone, my name is Gross, and as you can see, I am a four-star demon."

After Blue Charles and the others left, one of the two four-star demons stood up and said, "I have done this kind of escort mission several times, so I have some experience."

"Now, let me tell you about the dangers we may encounter during this escort mission."

Next, Gross explained to everyone some of the crises he encountered during the escort mission.

It can be seen that Gross is indeed experienced.

As for the crises he mentioned, it takes not just a few times, but at least hundreds of missions to gain such rich experience.

"So, in order to deal with these crises, I suggest that we divide the eight of us into two teams."

"Edmund and I are both four-star demons, so we are the captains of our respective teams."

"Then, we'll do it once every half a month."

"For the first half month, we will be driving the metal lifeforms and take turns releasing our spiritual senses to investigate whether there are any bandits ambushing on the road ahead."

"If we encounter an ambush, then the team driving the metal lifeforms will be responsible for protecting the caravan."

"The other team that is resting will be responsible for leaving the metal life and going to repel the robbers. Does anyone have any objections?"

Finally, Gross added: "Of course, since Edmund and I are four-star demons, if there are no strong men of the same level among the robbers attacking the metal life, both of us will bear the responsibility of repelling the robbers."

After listening to Gross's words, everyone nodded and had no objection to Gross's arrangements.

Afterwards, the remaining six three-star demons were divided into two teams. Oaks, Yagonia, and another upper god were assigned to Edmund's team.

During this half month, they are responsible for resting and maintaining their own condition.

It will be their turn to guard the place in the second half of the month.

……

Blackrock tribe.

When Oaks and Yagonia embarked on a journey to find Ryan, Locke's holy domain self fell into an inexplicable state.

The laws of water magic are mysterious, and seem to be swimming in the rules of fate, coming into contact with and merging with Locke's rules of fate.

However, the speed of this fusion is really too slow.

Locke knew that he had now entered a state of "enlightenment", but he was afraid that by the time his enlightenment time was over, the fusion of his water skills and the rules of destiny would not have been completed.

Under such circumstances, Locke directly burned the power of faith that he had stored during this period of time to assist in the integration of the mysteries of the water laws and the rules of destiny.

With the assistance of a large amount of faith power, Locke's mysteries of laws and rules quickly merged.

At a certain moment, Locke felt that the fusion of water magic and the rules of destiny broke through a boundary and entered a new level.

At this level, Locke's burning power of faith could hardly continue to promote the fusion of the two, so Locke gave up the idea of ​​continuing to burn the power of faith.

It took a long time for Locke to come out of this wonderful state.

I feel a little lost.

Locke felt that if he could maintain that state for a long time, he would be able to completely integrate the mysteries of the water system and the rules of fate. However, Locke also felt that the gains this time were great.

One sixth of his own water laws and destiny rules were perfectly integrated.

In other words, if Locke now uses the mystery of the law of fusion, he can also exert the power of a seven-star demon.

Of course, this level of strength is nothing to Locke, who possesses two fully-perfected divine clones.

However, the moves created by Locke's fusion of the mysteries of the laws are countless times more powerful than the moves created by his two great clones.

After creating such a powerful move, Locke felt a little itchy.

At this moment, Locke's spiritual sense radiated, and soon he found a bandit's hideout within the range of his spiritual sense.

With a thought, a spear emitting white light gathered in the sky above the bandits' lair and suddenly fell.

"boom!"

A violent explosion sounded, and a mushroom cloud rose hundreds of meters high. A large number of space cracks raged in this hideout, and soon swallowed up everything.

When the smoke and dust cleared, this bandit den had been completely wiped out by Locke.

At this time, the power of destiny in Locke's body disappeared a little.

That’s right, it wasn’t that Locke consumed his divine power to launch that attack and kill those bandits.

But it was only after such an attack killed all the bandits that Locke's divine power was consumed.

This is the powerful move that Locke created after he integrated water magic and the rules of fate - the Spear of Destiny!
The gun of fate confuses cause and effect.

Just like Locke's move this time.

Because those bandits had been killed by Locke, that was why Locke took action.

The result comes before the cause.

Before Locke took action, the enemy's fate had already been determined.

Therefore, this move was called "Spear of Destiny" by Locke.

Of course, due to the problem of Locke's current integration of water laws and destiny rules, this move only has the power of a seven-star demon level under normal circumstances.

If Locke used the fusion divine power, unless one was at the Great Perfection or possessed the main divine weapon for material defense, almost no one could survive this move of Locke.

“I’m so strong.”

Seeing the move he created, Locke admired himself.

When the degree of integration between my water rules and destiny rules is further improved, how strong will I be in the end?
After some imagination, Locke slowly calmed himself down.

As a time traveler, Locke knew that the Panlong Universe was just a subsidiary universe created by Hongmeng.

If you cannot transcend the Panlong Universe and enter the Hongmeng Space, you will be nothing more than a fish in a pond throughout your life.

“Transcendent…”

A glimmer of longing flashed in Locke's eyes, but in the end he shook his head and suppressed this unrealistic dream for the time being.

So far, Locke knows of only one way to transcend the Panlong Universe.

That is the path taken by Lin Lei, the protagonist of Panlongzhen.

The souls of the four elements of earth, wind, water and fire mutate and become the four main gods. Then, by integrating the laws of the four elements, the power of the four main gods of earth, wind, water and fire can be integrated into the power of Hongmeng, cultivated into the Hongmeng immortal body, and transcended into the Hongmeng space.

Because, Panlong Universe is the subsidiary universe opened up by Hongmeng using Hongmeng Qi to derive earth, wind, water and fire. Earth, wind, water and fire are the most basic laws of Panlong Universe. All other laws and rules are derived from earth, wind, water and fire.

In the final battle with Auf, Lin Lei watched Auf's "Transcendence of Reincarnation" and realized the mystery of the fusion of the four laws of earth, wind, water and fire. In the end, he reversed the power of the four main gods of earth, wind, water and fire to fuse into the Hongmeng Qi. This was the main reason why Lin Lei was able to transcend.

Locke himself only has affinity with water, and does not have affinity with the other three underlying laws. This has fundamentally cut off Locke's path to transcendence like Lin Lei.

Therefore, if Locke wanted to transcend, he had to think of other ways.

However, transcendence is still a long way off for Locke.

At least, Locke needs to become the main god before he can consider the issue of transcendence.

If you are not even the main god, with only a great perfection, what qualifications do you have to talk about transcendence?

"The first great war between the gods..."

Looking up at the sky of hell, Locke could feel that the predetermined "destiny" of the Panlong Universe had begun to move slowly forward.

……

"Lord Edmund, I sensed the auras of five upper gods and more than thirty middle gods three hundred miles ahead of the metal life."

“They have no intention of getting out of the way.”

Inside the metal life, Oaks suddenly spoke to Edmund.
