Chapter 2400 Sunset
There was a long silence in the Supreme Temple of the Original God.
There was a long mournful sound throughout the entire country.
The war - or the one-sided massacre has begun. Before Zong Dezhen or Jing Guo's higher will speaks, Xian Nankui will not stop, and the Shence saber will not be sheathed.
"...That's all?" Zong Dezhen finally asked.
The Grand Master of Yujing Mountain has listened to Yuan Tianshen’s explanation, but he seems not satisfied.
The invisible blue-robed godman manifested by the original god does not embody majesty at all. Just like a trapped angry beast, he suppressed his voice and roared angrily: "I only knew that they were going to do something here! I didn't know that Yin Xiaoheng would come, let alone that they wanted to kill Yin Xiaoheng! You Jingguo didn't know this in advance I!"
"You don't know who they are?" Zong Dezhen asked again.
"Think about it, will they let me know their identity? They don't even dare to enter this temple, they just send messages secretly on the border of China!" Yuan Tianshen originally said this, but looked at Zong Dezhen With purple eyes, he could only add bitterly: "The person who talked to me is probably the Prince Zhao of the Equal Country!"
"How can you see it?" Zong Dezhen asked.
Yuan Tianshen said: "I'm just guessing, and I can only guess! You don't have to believe it, but I gave you an answer!"
Zong Dezhen said nothing.
But the Shence Army's attacks on mountains and temples continued.
This powerful army from the Central Empire was completely unhindered within the territory of the Republic of China and could gallop freely.
The horse's hooves passed by, and the defense of the national city was like paper. Wherever the blade points, the Japanese army is like clay.
The towering temples turned into ruins. Devotees paved the steps with corpses, and the heads of priests were hung on the temple doors.
A large number of followers of the original god were forced to break the sacred jade they had worked so hard to sacrifice, and were forced to blaspheme the gods in various ways in front of the temple. Others were imprisoned, awaiting further "sobriety." The most violent resistance is directly killed!
Every scene takes place in the eyes of the original god.
The chaotic eyes never express joy or sorrow clearly, but what kind of emotions are tumbling between them?
He finally said: "King Zhao came to Tianmayuan more than forty years ago. I have looked at his traces, and they gave me a similar feeling."
Tianmayuan has always been classified as a restricted area by the two hegemons, and others are not allowed to explore it. King Zhao of Pingping Kingdom actually sneaked here!
What's the point? Where did his plan come from?
"How do you know that the one who sneaked in at that time was King Zhao?" Zong Dezhen looked at him and said: "As you said, they will not let you know his identity. How do you know for sure that he is the real King Zhao? Or, in fact, You already know who King Zhao is, he doesn’t have to hide it in front of you!”
Yuan Tianshen said: "At that time, they invited me to join the Equal Country."
Zong Dezhen said thoughtfully: "I want to know what conditions they gave you at that time."
"I refuse!" Yuan Tianshen said.
Zong Dezhen is not obsessed with this issue. He knows very well what conditions can impress Yuan Tianshen. It is nothing more than helping Him achieve true transcendence, but does the Equality Nation really have the ability and willingness to fulfill its promise? Even the original god couldn't believe it. He asked: "More than forty years ago...which year specifically was it?"
Yuan Tianshen did not hesitate this time: "Daoli 3888!"
The year when Qi won hegemony!
History turned over in his deep eyes, and Zong Dezhen nodded slightly: "I am not sure until this moment, Lord Zunshen, that you are indeed sincere in communicating with me."
"The original god is a false god, and the original god religion is a hypocrisy."
Zong Dezhen declared this openly, almost denying the basis on which the original god of heaven rested in the present world. Chopping down mountains and destroying temples completely destroyed the Yuan Tian Shen Sect.
If either party were like this, the original god would definitely fight to the death.
But the other party was Zong Dezhen, and even though he was extremely angry, he couldn't vent it.
Now it is also called "Zun God"!
What Zong Dezhen emphasizes is nothing more than this principle - whether He can be regarded as a god depends on whether Jing Guo recognizes it or not.
"Then -" Yuan Tianshen said humiliatingly: "Can we stop Xian Nankui?"
"No." Zong Dezhen said.
His voice was so cold: "The reason why you destroyed the Yuantian Temple in Heguo was because you made a wrong choice. Yin Xiaoheng is dead, and this result is irreversible. You could have avoided it, but you didn't. "
There was real rolling anger in the chaotic eyes of the original god. That emotion even penetrated his divine status, but in the end it remained silent.
It was only then that Zong Dezhen tapped the ground with his toes: "But we will keep this one because you are right at this moment."
The white Taoist robe was rolled up slightly, and Zong Dezhen turned around and left.
The dozens of high walls smashed by the dead high priest of the Yuan Tian Shen Sect were the only damage done to this supreme temple by the Jingguo people. In the capital of Heguo, no one from Jingguo will come today.
For a long, long time, the figure of the original god remained silent there.
He seemed to be listening quietly to the sound of temples being destroyed.
Heguo is too small, and Jingguo's iron hooves cannot reach sunset.
In fact, in a small country like Heguo, these temples and believers within its territory, whether they survive or not, will not affect His power. With such a divine status, He has long been freed from the sustenance of faith.
Just like the Mu Kingdom has a crucial influence on Cangtu God. Because of the support of a living hegemonic country and the power of faith entangled by the torrent of humanity, the boundaries of the divine power of living gods can be expanded to the maximum extent.
But this is His kingdom.
His dignity has been trampled on today.
Jingguo used this to assert its majesty!
It was either his dignity or his head, he had no choice.
Or, from the beginning, this was his choice.
In the initial conversation, Yuan Tianshen deliberately mentioned Taixu Daozhu, and deliberately went to Chaowen Daotian Palace to let Zong Dezhen, the disciple who could no longer speak, testify for him. Zong Dezhen kept calling him "deformed product" and "false eternity".
The two sides poked each other's wounds, and it was obvious that Yuan Tianshen was more painful.
Because Zong Dezhen did not seem to care about Xu Yuanzhi, and it was even very likely that he personally led Xu Yuanzhi's ending. Yuan Tianshen, who has come to this day, cannot ignore his dignity.
Did Yuan Tianshen not know how to poke Zong Dezhen harder?
After tens of thousands of years, he almost completely watched Zong Dezhen's life trajectory. What did he not know?
It's just that he was more afraid.
He could not hurt him recklessly, just as Zong Dezhen almost confronted him, and even trampled on his dignity, and he could not pour out his sea-like divine power.
In the final analysis, it was because of Tianmayuan.
Tianmayuan was under the joint control of Jingguo and Jingguo. The two hegemons had the ability to destroy it, and Jingguo had already shown its determination.
The lifeblood of the original God of Heaven was in it.
Now it is said that Jingguo is the central empire and Tianjing City is the center of the world.
But the so-called "center of the world" has shifted over a long period of time.
Earlier, or more specifically - in the mythological era, Tianma Plateau was the center.
Of course, Tianmayuan was not called Tianmayuan at that time.
In the past, the Lord of the Heaven established the Eternal Kingdom of Heaven here, making it as suspended as the sun and the moon, even higher than the sun and the moon.
At its most glorious time, it was known as "the stars ripple in it, the sun and the moon rise and fall from it, the long river surrounds the waist, and the sky and the sea wear a crown." - "Chao Cangwu".
He almost holds the supreme authority in the world, and is qualified to interpret "God's will" and write "Heaven's will".
The establishment of the Eternal Kingdom of Heaven heralds the beginning of the mythological era.
The destruction of the Eternal Kingdom of Heaven also marks the end of the mythological era.
This most powerful kingdom of God in history did not die alone, but countless gods were buried with it.
The eternal dusk condensed on this plateau, and from then on, there was only sunset in the world of gods.
The original god was a "scavenger" at dusk. As Zong Dezhen said, he grew up by absorbing the residual will of the gods. He grasped the power of the fallen gods and became a god with the death of gods. He walked alone in the era of the end of the gods, and in the dusk of the gods, he had power beyond everything.
But he was discovered too early.
Or, he knew very well that he, a survivor of the mythological era, could not hide his behavior of scavenging in the ruins of the kingdom of heaven from the will of those who were hanging in the sky. It was he who took the initiative to sacrifice his freedom and got the opportunity to leap forward under the gaze of all parties.
There is no such transcendence in the world.
He is indeed not a real transcendent!
Although he can be regarded as relying on the evolution of the Ragnarok on Tianma Plain, he barely condensed the status of the gods of the world, and was called "the first" in the era of the extinction of the gods, but this status is illusory and fragile.
He can only claim it to the existence outside Jingguo and Jingguo.
Not to mention compared with Ao Shuyi, he is not even as good as the netherworld gods. The netherworld gods at least have a vast netherworld world, where they can be respected freely. The only place where he can show his supremacy is Tianma Plateau.
Of course, Tianma Plain belongs to the world after all. Compared with the netherworld gods, he is still closer to the real and unlimited transcendence. This distance does not represent strength, but only represents the difficulty of leaping.
But Tianma Plateau does not belong to him!
His position of honor has been locked early, and his authority has always been divided. In the past, it was the Taoist sect, and now it is the two hegemons that dominate the plateau.
Tang Yu was really overbearing back then. He personally took a knife and cut off a piece of Tianma Plateau, forcing Jingguo to sit down and talk - at that time, Ji Yusu and Ji Yanqiu were still fighting for years - and then the Heguo was formed.
Jingguo and Jingguo can destroy Tianmayuan at any time, tear apart the eternal dusk condensed on it, and break the status of Yuantianshen. When He faces Zong Dezhen again, he will be vulnerable.
Relatively speaking, Jingguo has more power over Tianma Plateau because it continues the rights left by Taoism.
So even if Jingguo disagrees, Jingguo can still unilaterally destroy Shenyuan.
The foundation of the Central First Empire, when it really gets angry, it really can not care about any force!
How can Yuantianshen not know all this?
But Tianmayuan has been silent for too long...
Seeing that since the beginning of the Taoist calendar, Ji Furen, Ying Yunnian, and Huang Weizhen have jumped out of the peak and transcended, but He has always stagnated here and cannot get the respect that matches the status of God.
He is so close that he seems to be within reach. But he is so far away that it seems like an eternity!
After practicing to this level today, there are only two ways for him to truly transcend.
One is to grasp the crown condensed by countless broken divine wills at the deepest point of the Ragnarok when the mythological era was broken. He will truly get the authority of Tianmayuan and will be truly supreme from then on, and will no longer be controlled by Jingguo and Jingguo. At this point, there will be no obstacles ahead, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes a true transcendent.
One is to complete the true death of the gods with one's own hands and completely condense the status of the living gods of "Death of the Gods". This is to jump directly out of the Tianma Plateau and achieve supreme eternity.
Both of these paths are only one step away, but there is almost no possibility of either.
The Dusk Crown was divided between Jing and Jing. He couldn't move to either side, let alone take everything in his hand.
There is only one god who can help him transcend the supreme, the Cangtu God hanging on the grassland.
That is a real worldly god, far from what he can compare with.
The Shenxiao War is about to come. This is a period of great change that has never happened in the ages. Countless secret existences have been unveiled one after another. He also wants to seize this rare opportunity and grasp eternity during this period.
Unfortunately, he is in shackles and chains, more restrained than Ao Shuyi, but far weaker than Ao Shuyi. Every move is watched, and he can only passively wait for changes.
If it happens again, what will he choose?
Will he hide in the Chaowendao Palace?
The original god was silent for a long time, and finally walked up to the altar and stood like a clay sculpture.
…
…
"Master, what do you say?"
On Tianmayuan, Song Huai and Wu Daoyou have not left yet. The one who asked was Wu Daoyou, the Northern Heavenly Master.
Although he belonged to Daluo Mountain and had a high level of seniority, he still maintained enough respect for Zong Dezhen.
Yin Xiaoheng's body was still lying there, and had not been buried.
Because his death was indeed full of doubts. Without the collusion of forces within Jingguo, it would be impossible for him to die so suddenly. All the forces within Jingguo who had doubts about this wanted to take a look.
Zong Dezhen only said three words: "Equal Country."
Song Huai turned and left: "I'm going to do something."
"The King of Jin has already gone to the Meteoric Fairy Forest." Zong Dezhen said.
Song Huai stood there without any doubt.
Yin Xiaoheng's death was too bad!
In the present world, using assassination means to murder a famous general at the level of the Eight Jia Commander is an act that completely disregards Jingguo.
The dignity of Jingguo is the embodiment of the collective interests of Daoguo.
Regarding this matter, Jingguo has reached a consensus this time, and all parties will not hold back. It is necessary to let the world see whether Jingguo's power is still there!
Not only did Zixu Daojun Zong Dezhen go down the mountain, but even Hunyuan Daojun Yu Zhaoluan, who never cared about worldly affairs, was ready to go down the mountain.
Song Huai and Wu Daoyou came to Tianmayuan, Zong Dezhen entered Yuantian Temple, and King Jin Ji Xuanzhen went to Yunxianlin to attack Tiangong City - all parties worked together and supervised each other, no one had room to do anything, and everyone had to do their best.
Zong Dezhen looked up at the sky.
The heavy blood rain had stopped, but there was still some blood left, dyed in the sunset.
Outside Tianmayuan, it was still noon, but here it was still dusk.
The passage of time would not affect this place.
"The dusk here is the most beautiful dusk in the entire world. It is so beautiful because of the blood of the gods, and it is so precious because of the destruction of a glorious era." Zong Dezhen sighed inexplicably.
Song Huai said: "It is always dusk on the Tianma Plateau."
"Will tomorrow's dusk be the same as today's dusk?" Wu Daoyou, with white hair and beard, asked with a little disappointment.
Zong Dezhen said: "It is said that the Fenghou of the Eight Sages of Ancient Times is the only one who has ever been. He who opened the mythological era was indeed proved by a remnant soul of Fenghou. But this Fenghou is no longer the same Fenghou."
At dusk, the voice of the Grand Master of Yujing Mountain was meaningful: "He is the Lord of Heaven, not the Eight Sages of the Human Emperor."
