Overgod Ascension

"Zhong Ting!"

Wu Ming looked down and shouted solemnly.

"Subordinate is here!"

Zhong Ting stepped out and knelt down to answer.

"I appoint you as the Squadron Deputy!"

"As you bid!"

In an instant, Wu Ming saw a mass of White Qi on top of this person consolidating and understood that although fate is not equal to talent, it has something to sit tight on.

"Niu Yong! You are my 5-Men Commander! Go and pick down someone!"

"Yuan Tai, I order you to be 5-Men Commander, in charge of five!"

"He Zihai, you are the team's scribe, responsible for logistics and recording merits!"

"The 5-Men Commanders will not change and the 10-Men Commanders will be introduced!"

……

Orders were issued in an orderly manner.

In Wu Ming's eyes, the whole team's luck consolidated into one, becoming more stable than the previous form, and the benefits provided to him even greater.

"Cover the pot to cook! Cook all the meat that the general brought, we'll eat meat tonight!"

After all the chores and arrangements, it was already night.

Wu Ming gave the order and was immediately greeted with a burst of cheers. There were even fans. He couldn't help but smile again. Taking charge of incentives and penalties, it is all here.

…

"I did not think… you've actually joined the Nine Mountains Army and even immersed in it!"

At night, the camp exerted military laws. The security is strict with troops patrolling. There were no other noises, everything was silent.

But taking a more distant look, there are a few lights like beans.

Xiaodi stared at Wu Ming blankly, and then sighed: "Aren't you afraid of the backlash?"

In her eyes, Wu Ming lingered with an evil aura connected to the Nine Mountains Army, he was in a deep quagmire.

Daoists can absorb luck and improve cultivation, but there are limits.

From then on, he and the system are bound together for good and for ill. If one suffers, everyone suffers. For Wu Ming, if the Nine Mountains Army is defeated, he will vomit blood and his foundations will be greatly damaged.

And that is because his attainment in Daoism is low, if he was replaced by the canonized Daoist Nanshan, it is possible to fall. [1]

However, Xiaodi is a smart person and speculated: "Even if you have a secret method to cut luck and suppress backlash if you don't attain True Daoist State Master, there would still be some losses…"

After all, truncation and repression are not solutions.

If you have a True Daoist or Heavenly Dao Master's foundation, it might slowly trigger and silently dissolve but a Refined Master still has a level of karma.

"To be honest… I have exhausted all my Merit Points and only got a way to temporarily suppress backlash!"

Wu Ming played with the longsword in his hand and smiled: "But our mission is to assist the true king. Is there any way out?"

Xiaodi stopped.

This assistance to the Lord to become king is almost like helping the Dragon Court. It indeed has large karma and is difficult to break free.

I thought that I was doing a good job of not touching karma. It's a naive dream!

She smiled bitterly and gave a salute: "Fellow daoist taught me a lesson!"

"Since you're caught in a disaster and cannot escape, you can only go forward and take a chance!"

This is Wu Ming's own understanding and is reasonable.

Xiaodi tilted her head and thought about it for a while, but shook her head again: "Dao brother says it best, it's a pity that this concubine is not a man and is powerless even if she wants to fight. Unless…"

Naturally, women cannot be in a position of power and lead soldiers to fight. The only choice is probably entering the palace as General Li's harem.

But with this woman's temperament, I'm afraid that it will not be the case.

Wu Ming looked at Xiaodi's tangled expression and just smiled, not saying much.

There is a layer of meaning, just buried in his heart.

In case that the Dragon Court fails, it will eventually backlash. But where does the backlash come from? Nothing like this world?

It's just that, with the power of the Overgod Palace, he can pat his butt and leave when the mission is completed. How can this world's backlash go to bite him back? Can it still chase him back to the Great Zhou World?

Even if it followed him back to this world, the world's will would not recognize the Heavenly Retribution of the former. If it will actually happen is still up to debate.

"However, for these Reincarnators, the mission failure will not wait for the Heavenly Retribution and will get the Overgod Palace's obliteration so this issue isn't considered at all…"

Wu Ming glanced at Xiao Di: "Like that Yu Shaojun, he must directly join, desperately climb up and be fearless… Only this female newcomer is blind, unable to see Mount Tai. After what I've experienced, I should've figured out…"

After waiting for a while, Xiaodi still didn't move and didn't reveal any intention to go out making Wu Ming quite distressed: "Little Xiaodi?"

"Okay!" f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m

Xiaodi promised in a low voice and suddenly raised her head, staring at Wu Ming with starry eyes: "I still have a question, this mistress still want fellow daoist to answer!"

"Ah, say it!"

In the dim light, Wu Ming only felt that the woman's expression became more and more similar to Xiaodi and couldn't help but say.

"This concubine has a young sister named Xiaoyu… but a few months ago, her jade was lost for no reason…"

Xiaodi slowly said but Wu Ming felt his heart move: "Oh? Did you know how she died?"

"Do not know…"

A trace of pain appeared in Xiaodi's eyes: "With… with my family's defense, outsiders would find it extremely difficult to invade and no traces were found afterward. Even Xiaodi's body was left without scars, but her soul died. Even immortals would find it difficult to save her…"

'It turns out that when she died in the Overgod Palace, her soul scattered in the real world!'

Wu Ming was shocked. He knew that killing people physically is simple but this silent and traceless method of scattering the soul is really enough to scare the hell out of people, even if it was this kind of aristocratic family.

"There are some powers in my family and yet, I've not found any traces of the real murderer even after careful investigation!"

Xiaodi continued: "But there are such strange deaths everywhere in the world, which aroused my interest!"

"You can get this world's criminal news?" Wu Ming was secretly shocked at her family's strength. This is at least at the level of a Prefecture Gentry, and perhaps even higher: "I may be rude but may I ask who this lady is?"

"Luoshi's Xie Family!"

Xiaodi or Xie Xiaodi said.

It's a pity that Wu Ming before was a turtle, meaning that he had never heard of this family before. He just remembered the name and would look up the world's genealogy when he comes back.

"For Xiaoyu's revenge, I naturally went deeper and deeper but unfortunately, nothing could be found. Although these people died of the same cause, they are located in the north and the south, with no correlations between them…"

"In the end… I moved on from Xiaoyu's life. After careful considerations, I didn't have a single clue for several months but the night before, an inexplicable inspiration emerged and the following things… dao brother must know?"

Xie Xiaodi smiled bitterly: "In the beginning, this mistress thought it was an alien invasion or the virtuous merits attracted the Heavenly Court… Unfortunately, after arriving in this world, I've realized it was the Overgod Palace's power, the cause of my little sister, Xiaoyu, is this 'obliteration'!"

Her face turned solemn and deeply bowed to Wu Ming: "When fellow daoist saw me, there was a moment of disappointment. You must have seen Xiaoyu before, I hope that you tell me about this!"

"It turns out to be this!"

Wu Ming touched his nose and couldn't think about his moment of loss but this action had been remembered by this woman.

The level of smartness in the snow and pure mindedness, Xie Xiaodi is in no way inferior to Xiaoyu and had almost deduced the whole truth.

After thinking about it, there was nothing to hide so he said straight away: "That was the first time I came into contact with the Overgod Palace a few months ago…"

Xie Xiaodi listened quietly, with her hands in her sleeves. She was obviously not calm.

When she heard that Xiaoyu was shot and killed by Hu Yantie, large drops of crystal-clear tears fell one after the other from her pretty face.

"Sorry…"

Wu Ming finished his story, looked at the woman, and solemnly said.

"Thank you, dao brother, for being so frank. Xiaoyu can finally rest in peace!"

Xie Xiaodi stayed silent for a long time, only to stand up, solemnly salute, and walk out, looking at the moonlight outside the curtain.

An azure talisman appeared in her hand.

"The 'Heart Talisman' I made didn't respond at all… It seems that what this person said is mostly true… Little sister Xiaoyu…"

A touch of sorrow emerged with a hint of relief.

……

The second day, early morning.

Fifty people were led by their respective 5-Men Commanders and lined up to practice formations and martial arts.

Three exercises in the morning, afternoon, and evening are all major events and do not allow to slack off.

At the same time, they raised their spears. Led by Zhong Ting, it only took a glance to see that they were very organized and connected into a line, it smelled like a wall of iron and copper.

"Tsk! Tsk!"

Xiao Jidu came over and looked at the group as well as Niu Yong behind Wu Ming with envy: "What majesty! What deadly aura! Brother, you're really good, unlike me… Training every day, I'm sick of it!"

"You are the personal commander of the Ivory General, your future is limitless. If people catch wind that you want to exchange position with a Squadron Leader, I am afraid that the entire Nine Mountains Army's Squadron Leader will be tempted…"

Wu Ming said: "It is me that needs to seek a place with you!"

"What's the matter? Just say it already!" Xiao Jidu patted his chest and said with pride.

"It's time for me to see the chief, but I'm afraid that there are dangers in going here so I can only take advantage of you!"

Wu Ming solemnly said but he heard Xiao Jidu laugh happily.

……

"Humble officer Wu Ming, meets Battalion Leader!"

Wu Ming is a 9th Grade Squadron Leader and his boss is an 8th Grade Battalion Leader.

When he entered the camp, he immediately saluted.

"Hmph!"

His immediate boss was a handsome middle-aged man surrounded by Murderous Qi called Jin Gang. He coldly snorted after hearing his words: "Get up! Squadron Leader Wu sure is busy but that's right, the Commander pulled you with one hand!"

The meaning is sinister.

Wu Ming raised his head and felt that this person's eyes were like sharp swords. Looking at his eyes, it was like a spear contest.

'Another Ominous Star Fate, his source fate is that of a military commander!'

'As I've been promoted too quickly, maybe someone has become jealous, perhaps even resorting to slander!'

He immediately saluted again and loudly said: "Subordinate entered the Nine Mountains Army, only knowing how to act under the boss's order!"

"You…"

Jin Gang suddenly became angry, not only because of the villain's slander but also because of Wu Ming's superior position who he had been prepared to give to a confidant.

But at this time, seeing Xiao Jidu's silhouette outside moving, his eyes quickly darted: "No matter! You have to work hard in the future. Let's go!"

On the bright side, he had received a gift and sent Wu Ming out. He was secretly ready to give it to his subordinates!

After all, military laws are strict. During the war, if the order says to hold down the line, can you resist?

[1]: Fall in this case, means the death of the person.
