0977, the Era of Emperor’s Death
"There may be a bit of a misunderstanding. I just discovered the Divine Whip. In the original world, many people preferred to call it the [Four-edged Divine Sword]. When I came to this world, I learned from Raizo's mouth , I found out that it has another name, called [Magic Whip], which may not even be the real one."
Li Mu's heart moved, and he summoned the [Four-edged Divine Sword] and turned it into a golden four-edged strange sword. He held it up with both hands and said: "Senior, please see if this thing is really the [Sacred Whip" you said. ]."
The master of the Dao Palace raised his white eyebrows, but glanced at it without taking it. He nodded and said: "That's absolutely right. It is the legendary whip. Although the shape has changed, the aura is unmistakable. I saw it back then. Get past this mythical side."
Li Mu said: "I only discovered it by chance, and I may not be its owner."
The master of the Tao Palace has white eyebrows and white beard, and has a Taoist fairy style. He has a kind of tranquility and wisdom that can understand the vicissitudes of the world. He smiled and said: "It can be controlled by you at will, and it has transformed into a second form. This is only possible with its approval." You should know what happened. Gods have spirits and will choose their own masters. Many things that seem to be coincidences may have been doomed from the beginning."
Li Mu thought for a while, stopped being pretentious, put away the Divine Whip again, and asked: "Senior, since you have seen the Divine Whip, can you explain to me the origin of this thing? What a wonderful use."
The master of the Taoist Palace motioned Li Mu to sit down, and another Taoist boy came in from the outside, poured tea, and then said: "It's a long story. In the dark ages, this world, from ancient times to the present, has witnessed countless wars, killings, and countless heroic souls. , those with undying obsessions turned into monsters, and those with undying spiritual thoughts could fight again and were in a state of immortality. Later, I don’t know when, a powerful man discovered a kind of divine gold that could To entrust the souls of the dead, there was a heavenly emperor named Immortal. With his great supernatural powers, he refined this divine gold into a rare treasure, which was called the "Gods' Bang". Not only could it entrust the souls of the dead, but it could also protect the spirits of the living and bring life to the world. If a person registers his name with this rare treasure, even if he dies in battle, no matter when and where he is, a ray of his true spirit will return to the list of gods and he will remain immortal."
Immortal Emperor?
This was the first time Li Mu heard this name.
This is not the first time I have heard of the Conferred Gods List, Lei Zang has said it before.
The master of the Taoist Palace continued: "The Immortal Emperor is an amazing figure for all eternity. He created the list of gods with good intentions. One is to give the dead souls some sustenance, and the other is to protect or protect the heroes who have perished physically. Therefore, A new race was born - the Gods. The Immortal Emperor was called the father of the Gods and was powerful in the world. Unfortunately, after he died in battle, the Conferred Gods List was chased by all parties and gradually became a tool for careerists. Because he obtained the Conferred Gods List, , you can control the true spirits placed on the list, and you can control the gods. This is such a terrifying force. In the end, even the emperor-level figures participated in the fight. A period of darkness caused by the list of gods. , although it was short-lived, it was the most terrifying period in the history of the entire chaotic world. Even the great emperor fell, and it was called the [Era of Emperor's Fall] by later generations."
Li Mu listened to the master of the Dao Palace speaking. Although the words were not very emotional, he felt the thrill of it. Not to mention anything else, just the word "Emperor's Fall" was enough to make the sky change color.
Even the Great Emperor fell, what kind of battle was that?
Just like in The Legend of the Condor Heroes, the world's martial arts started a bloody storm in order to compete for the "Nine Yin Manual". Even the Five Jue were involved. In the end, "Huashan Sword Theory" was used to determine the "Nine Yin Manual". ]'s whereabouts, and the Investiture of Gods is the Nine Yin Scriptures of this world.
The master of the Dao Palace continued: "Later, the list of gods was shattered during the emperor's war and turned into dozens of parts. Each major race and emperor-level inheritance got one of them. The once-prominent god clan completely fell apart and its combat power was tyrannical. The gods have therefore become subordinates of the major races, or to be more accurate, slaves, and the major races have also relied on the power of the fragments of the Conferred Gods List to continuously cultivate their own power, because the killings caused by the fragments of the Conferred Gods List sometimes It happens, most of the time, the world just doesn’t know about it. It’s a pity that it was originally a god-defying savior, but in the end it became a scourge in troubled times because of its sinister heart.”
Speaking of this, the master of the Dao Palace sighed with emotion.
Li Mu couldn't help but wonder: "Why did the Immortal Emperor die in battle if he had such magical powers and the support of the gods under his command? If he had not died, sooner or later this world would have been controlled by the gods, right?"
The master of the Dao Palace said: "This is an eternal mystery. No one knows why the Immortal Emperor died. Until now, no one has solved the truth. However, the list of gods is too heaven-defying. It can collect the souls of the dead and protect the living. To create an almost immortal race out of thin air is simply an existence that defies heaven and earth. Some people once said that because the list of gods was too defiant, the Immortal Emperor suffered the scourge of the great way and eventually fell."
Li Mu said: "Is it a divine punishment?"
He didn't believe this statement in his heart.
Compared with divine punishment, Li Mu believed more that it was because some people could not see the Gods becoming powerful, so they secretly planned something. The list of gods was indeed too heaven-defying. If the immortal emperor did not die and the list of gods was not broken, then as time goes by, Sooner or later, this world will be dominated by the gods. The Immortal Emperor can slowly turn all the heroic spirits in the world into his subordinates. Even the emperor-level existences will become the controlled true spirits on the list of gods.
This kind of thing has happened too many times on earth.
Those who can kill emperors must be emperors.
How could other emperors sit back and watch the Immortal Emperor's power expand so wildly? As long as the Immortal Emperor is willing, every time a warrior dies in this world, there will be one more heroic spirit on the list of gods, and the gods will have one more warrior. The chaotic world is originally a chaotic world, even if the rules of holy war are set, it will still happen all the time. People are dying, which means that the number of gods is expanding all the time.
When humans and extraterrestrial demons came to the world of chaos, they would be rejected and suppressed by the indigenous people. How much more so for such a new race created out of thin air, living by fighting, and with unlimited potential for expansion?
Li Mu didn't know what kind of person the Immortal Emperor was, but putting himself in his shoes, if he lived in the same era as the Immortal Emperor, he would be afraid of him, and there would be no room for such a character in the world.
Therefore, the so-called eternal mystery is that other major races and emperors united to kill the Immortal Emperor, and then started fighting and killing each other because of the Conferred Gods List, and finally shattered the Conferred Gods List.
Of course, this is just Li Mu's guess.
After hearing Li Mu's words, the master of the Dao Palace smiled slightly and said, "My little friend's words are not unreasonable."
Li Mu added: "Senior, what you just talked about was the list of gods. What does it have to do with the whip of gods?"
The master of the Taoist Palace said: "The Immortal Emperor first refined the God List, and then looked for another kind of emperor gold to refine the [God Beating Whip] in order to control some unruly evil spirits. This divine object has certain effects on the gods. Natural restraint, no matter how fierce and terrifying the spirit is, can break its body with one whip, shatter its body with two whips, and destroy its soul with three whips. Rumor has it that even an emperor-level true spirit will never be able to withstand five whips."
Li Mu nodded: "I understand. The Divine Whip is a divine object refined to control the gods. It is the nemesis of the gods. However, has there really ever been an emperor-level true spirit?"
The master of the Dao Palace shook his head and said: "I don't know. During the [Era of Emperor's Fall], I had not yet become a Dao and did not participate in that battle."
Li Mu said: "So, is this Immortal Heavenly Emperor a Forger Emperor? He can continuously refine such magical objects."
"Yes, the Immortal Emperor is the only one in history who has achieved imperial power through forging tools." The master of the Taoist Palace said with great regret: "His talent and talent can be said to be unparalleled in history. He has never heard of any evil deeds in his life, even if it is in his hands. Even with the two sacred objects of the God's List and the Divine Whip in hand, he has never started killing for no reason. The years when he controlled the God Clan can be said to be the most glorious time for the God Clan and the most peaceful era in the chaotic world. It is a pity... …”
A figure suddenly appeared in Li Mu's mind.
My own little book boy Qingfeng.
In the mainland of China, Xiao Qingfeng was also a genius who was good at casting and refining weapons. When he finally shattered the void and ascended, it was because of the refining of weapons that he entered the Tao.
"If I'm not wrong, Lei Dao Zushan owns the fragments of the God List, right?" Li Mu said.
The master of the Dao Palace said: "Yes, during the Emperor's Fall era, the ancestor of Lei Dao Ancestral Mountain [Thunder Emperor] also participated in the war. One of the fragments of the God List is now on Lei Dao Ancestral Mountain."
Li Mu said: "That's it. They framed me and hunted me down. I'm afraid they are also here to beat the divine whip. Senior, you just said that many major races and inheritances have fragments of the God List, and they are also using these fragments to configure themselves. The war department of the gods, and I, who possess the natural restraint of the gods and the whip of the gods, must be a thorn in their flesh."
Speaking of this, Li Mu couldn't help but cursed in his heart.
What the hell is this?
I have only been in the Chaos World for a few months, and I have become a thorn in the side of many big forces who want to get rid of them quickly?
The master of the Dao Palace said: "There is a reason for this."
Li Mu said: "So the senior helped me secretly just now to promote the friendship between me and Brother Jianjun. Do you want to find another layer of protection for me?"
The master of the Dao Palace smiled and said nothing.
Li Mu said: "The seniors have worked hard, and the juniors are very grateful."
The master of the Dao Palace said: "Indeed, there is only one Dao Palace, which may not be enough to frighten the secret forces that are ready to move, but these crazy people in the Hidden Sword Sea are crazier than the Lei Dao monks. With them supporting you, any force can't stop you." If I want to touch you, I have to think carefully."
Li Mu said: "So there are no fragments of the God List in the Hidden Sword Sea?"
The master of the Dao Palace said: "In these years, Hidden Sword Sea has never cultivated its own powerful gods."
Li Mu nodded, a question in his mind was finally solved.
"Senior, there is one more thing that I would like to ask you." Li Mu respectfully raised his hands and said, "I am a newbie in the world of chaos. Why do you help me so much?"
