Chapter 617 Meeting with Dragon God Maraudis
Ji Xun went to see Old Man Xu before leaving, thinking that if his plan failed, there would be someone who could pass on the truth.
Pioneers who brave the thorns in the dark, facing the unknown road ahead, all they can do is leave some marks for those who will come after them as they go. The purpose is that even if they fall, those who follow will be warned.
Instead of no one knowing what happened and continuing to fall in the same position.
Just like what the predecessors of the card master civilization did.
On the long road of history, Ji Xun was able to reach this point just by seeing "marks" one after another.
In fact, he already knew very well that when he was convinced that there was a "plane monitor", he had been watched by some mysterious means at the level of the rules of the universe.
Not only him, but also close partners like Nan Jing and Chujiu are actually in a dangerous situation that may "disappear" at any time.
The supervisor did not take action to erase it simply because the threat was not great enough.
In the eyes of true gods, powerful intermediate gods like Nan Shenyu can be easily erased from history, let alone some humans who have not even condensed their godhood.
What Ji Xun has to do now is to leave some "marks" that should be left behind before they are erased.
In the basement behind the courthouse.
Ji Xun looked at the four coffins that old man Xu channeled in front of him, and too many thoughts came to his mind.
The four coffins are the one obtained by the Oran royal family to warm the body, one is the coffin inherited from the Bai family on the [Neon] train that can warm the soul, and the other is the ruins of Xia Mu City [Bazquez's There is a mysterious time realm on the Netherworld Train, and the last coffin is the coffin with magical space laws through the underworld passage where Ivan was born.
These are the "Four Divine Pillars" of the card master's plane.
This is an ancient relic that was shattered from the high latitude plane together with the Card Master plane.
JOKER recorded the true uses of these four coffins on fifty-three stone tablets.
Flesh, soul, time, and space point to a promotion ceremony.
An exclusive promotion ceremony belonging to the [JOKER] sequence.
This is also the ultimate secret of the card master plane that only Ji Xun can see the complete content of.
Just as he was thinking about it, Old Man Xu said seriously: "Boy Ji Xun, are you really planning to use this? You haven't condensed your godhead yet, so using the four divine pillars is too reluctant. Once you fail to condense your godhead, you won't even have a chance to be resurrected. "
When Ji Xun heard this, he nodded: "Yeah. No time."
Three thousand years ago, when the "Seven Lords of Natural Disaster" broke through and plundered, the Titan True God failed to successfully awaken, because countless strong men from the Talon Empire sacrificed their lives to delay this disaster.
It can be said that it was precisely because Talon paid the price of the collapse of the empire that he prevented the true god of Titan from resurrecting.
But now, in the entire Card Master Plane, no force has the strength of the Talon Empire back then.
In Ji Xun's deduction, no one can stop the "Seven Lords of Natural Disaster" from wreaking havoc again.
Neither can the death dragon Marodis who has become a superior god!
No matter how powerful he is, the face monitor still has an unknown method that will kill him.
Once He died, no one could stop the plundering of at least the two foreign gods, 'Scarlet Corruption Seadis' and 'Lord of War Disasters Monliod'.
If given another generation, the "New Talon Empire" might be able to.
But there was no time.
Ji Xun knew what he should do now.
When Old Man Xu heard Ji Xun's words, his wrinkled old face was very serious. He sighed slightly and asked the question again: "Do you need me to help you?"
"."
Ji Xun shook his head and said, "No need. I will find a way to condense the divine power as soon as possible."
He knew that Old Man Xu might have a way to prevent the Titan True God from resurrecting.
But he must not take action unless absolutely necessary.
Once Old Man Xu is exposed, the entire card master plane will no longer have any trump cards.
The true god cannot be killed. Even if he takes action, it will only delay the true god's recovery.
But as soon as Old Man Xu, the "salary collector", dies, the civilization of card masters will come to an end.
If the person who collects wages for others dies suddenly in the snow, then everyone else will also die.
Without Ji Xun, there will still be Chujiu, Nanjing, Catalina. Even the next JOKER can continue along the path he took.
But there is no old man Xu.
No one can even decipher the content on the [Forbidden Ruins Stone Tablet], and no one knows that so many historical truths that have been erased have happened in history.
The marks left by countless pioneers will no longer exist.
And Old Man Xu has actually done enough.
In the dark places that cannot be seen in history, the "Illumination Hermitage" he created has been secretly correcting the direction of history and silently guarding the Card Master civilization.
Eternal life may not be a blessing for a person who has seen the desperate truth of the card master's plane but has no choice but to do anything about it.
Seeing the fire of hope extinguished time and time again, this old man endured despair and pain that ordinary people could not imagine.
Thinking of this, Ji Xun looked at the solemn old man Xu and said with a smile: "Senior, thank you for your help along the way."
"."
When Old Man Xu heard this, he felt as if he had heard it in his memory and sighed slightly.
Under the clown mask, the face with a strange smile seemed to have never changed.
Two months later.
At the junction of the three kingdoms, there was once the most magnificent city in the southern continent.
This is the "holy city" Vandias.
It used to be the headquarters of the Holy See.
After the collapse of the Arel Empire half a year ago, this majestic city became the headquarters of the Sun Cult.
The towering walls of Vandias can be seen from miles away.
However, at this moment, the city is full of broken walls and ruins, and hundreds of thousands of slaves are transporting stone bars to repair the broken walls.
Flags with black sun emblems can be seen everywhere on the walls.
This is the emblem of the new empire of the dead dragon Marodis.
Outside the city, a mighty caravan slowly came from the north.
The caravan transported resources needed by the new empire.
There was an inconspicuous young man in the team. He looked at the towering walls in front of him and the lingering death in the city, grinning and said: "Tsk tsk. It seems that the dead dragon Marodis is seriously injured."
It was Ji Xun.
Others could not detect the difference in the overflowing dragon power, but he could sense it.
If a high-ranking dragon god was not injured, he would never be so confused.
The situation in the southern continent is unclear now. Normal people who get hurt will definitely find a place to hide and heal.
But this dead dragon Maraudis didn't do that.
It's obvious that he doesn't care if people see it. Dragon God Aierel is dead, and He is already the strongest existence in the entire plane.
This kind of arrogance, domineering and arrogant is exactly the same as the Maraudis described by Emperor Lanlingster, and it has not changed for more than 100,000 years.
Ji Xun walked to the city gate and was immediately stopped because of his identity.
It's not that the disguise is not good enough.
On the contrary, it's because he didn't disguise at all.
The identity he registered to enter the city is the emperor of the New Taren Empire.
And this identity also brought huge waves to the team that originally entered the city in an orderly manner.
"Captain, look at this."
"Did that guy really say he was the emperor of the 'New Taren Empire'?"
"Yes. That guy also took the letter of credence."
"Ah, this. You guys watch it first! I'll go call the commander."
"."
Ji Xun stood at the city gate, watching the guards whispering indifferently and reporting layer by layer.
The captain came, the centurion came, the centurion came, and the commander came, and finally the generals at the city gate came.
If it were someone else, they would have been chopped off long ago if they dared to disguise themselves so blatantly.
But even if the seventh-rank dragon general came, looking at Ji Xun's temperament, he couldn't make up his mind.
After all, how could the emperor of the empire be mixed in the caravan?
If not, in the "holy city" of Vandias where the Dragon God is, who would dare to pretend to be someone else and cause trouble?
"Your Excellency, wait a moment. This matter is of great importance. Let me report."
After all, the general handled things more steadily than those soldiers. He was unsure, but he was also much more polite.
Ji Xun was not in a hurry. Anyway, he had been gone for so long, so he was not in a hurry for a moment.
The reason why he came after two months was to delay time by submitting the letter of credence.
After all, the New Taren Empire was established in the southern continent. The dead dragon Marodis dealt with the old enemy Arel, and the first thing to deal with was the New Taren who stole the fortune under his nose. Ji Xun handed over the letter of credence, saying that he would come to see them in person. The dead dragon was so arrogant that he would not attack again.
Secondly, he also needed to see the current situation of the southern continent in person.
When a chess player plays chess, he should not only look at his own chess pieces, but also at his opponent and the overall situation.
He went to the area controlled by the Scarlet Cult and the area controlled by the Lord of War. After confirming some intelligence, he slowly came to the holy city of Vandias.
He waited for a while.
The city suddenly became restless.
The people in the two rows of the road knelt on the ground in unison, and even the knights at the city gate knelt on one knee. Obviously, a big shot had come.
Ji Xun looked up and saw a group of people wearing white robes with gold patterns coming out.
This outfit can only be from the Sun Cult.
The leader was a tall woman with an indifferent face.
Ji Xun also recognized that it was the Saint Sophia of the Sun Cult.
But now it seems that it should be the Pope.
Princess Sophia was probably the only person she had met in the entire city of Vandias.
Not only was she an alumnus of the Royal Academy, but they had also dealt with each other in the other-dimensional space of "The Bandits of Black Crow Castle".
When old friends met, Sophia did not seem enthusiastic, but after all, she knew that she was a ninth-level person in front of her, so she showed due respect: "Mr. Ji Xun is in a good mood."
She did not expect that the emperor of the New Taren Empire would come alone in the caravan.
"Miss Sophia, long time no see."
Ji Xun did not care, not everyone likes to show off when going out.
When the onlookers saw that the Pope really knew them, they were all shocked.
At the same time, several powerful auras in the city probed over.
Sophia did not want to be watched by the crowd, so she said: "Let's go. Let's talk about it after entering the city."
Ji Xun was not afraid at all, and followed them in.
The two walked on the street, and there were people kneeling all the way, and no one dared to look directly at them.
Ji Xun could see the emotions of everyone in the city, and he did not like this kind of awe caused by fear.
However, the southern continent has been like this for countless years, and people seem to be numb.
Because the slave society will not change much, the social class will not change easily, and the nobles are happy to maintain this order.
As they walked, Sophia inquired about Ji Xun's purpose and said, "You are so brave that you came here alone. Aren't you afraid that you, the 'emperor', will not be able to return alive?"
This tone was obviously sarcastic.
Claiming to be the emperor in the southern continent, it was obvious that he did not take their Sun Cult seriously.
Ji Xun certainly did not hear it, but he did not care, and said calmly: "No problem."
Sophia did not hear any humility from his tone, but a kind of contempt, her eyes suddenly became cold, and she said: "So, are you here to submit to Lord Dragon God this time?"
Please...collect 6...books...!
Ji Xun: "No. There are some other things."
Sophia was offended by his tone, and her expression became colder: "Oh? What do you want to say?"
Ji Xun knew that this woman must be thinking about all kinds of threats to war, he did not want to waste time, and said bluntly: "I am here to find the Dragon God Maraudis. Just introduce me."
He is the emperor of the empire, there is no one higher than him in this plane, theoretically speaking, he can call anyone by name.
But Sophia was angry when she heard this.
You, a human, really think that you can be an emperor just because you proclaim yourself an emperor?
But even though she was angry, Sophia was not stupid. She saw that Ji Xun's aura was a little strange, and suppressed her anger and said: "If you have anything, just tell me. Lord Dragon God has no time to deal with these mundane things."
Ji Xun shook his head and indicated: "Some things can't be explained to you clearly."
Sophia Zhong lost her patience. After all, she was a pope, but she was ignored.
She snorted coldly: "Hmph! Do you think that you are a ninth-level person, so you have the confidence to be rampant."
"No. I don't think so. On the contrary, I have always known that my strength is not worth mentioning."
Ji Xun laughed at himself, and saw that the woman seemed to be really going to call someone, and didn't intend to talk any more: "Forget it. He will see me."
Sophia didn't understand, and her eyes were murderous: "You"
Before she could say anything else, she suddenly saw the shadow of a clown behind Ji Xun, and a terrifying aura instantly swept the whole place.
This move seemed to be announcing to everyone: I am the emperor!
In an instant, even Sophia beside him changed her expression, feeling the terrifying power of the emperor.
Even she, a high-purity dragon, couldn't help but kneel down.
Not to mention the knights and passers-by on the side of the road, they were all trembling with fear, and most of them couldn't move.
Ji Xun didn't look at the others.
I said so much before, it was necessary for diplomatic etiquette.
Since these dragons are so arrogant, there is no need.
Ji Xun took a step forward and shouted solemnly: "Ji Xun, the emperor of the New Taren Empire, comes to visit His Majesty the Dragon God Marodis."
The voice was not loud, but it seemed to resound throughout the city.
The layout of the holy city of Vandias is very transparent, with a road running from north to south. The tallest huge building in the city is the residence of the Dragon God - the Dragon God Temple.
"King meets king", in a normal chess game, this is already the last move of this chess game, and there must be death.
But for Ji Xun, it's just the beginning.
As soon as he revealed his identity, countless murderous auras in the city instantly locked onto him.
As Sophia said, there are many dragons in this holy city that can kill him.
But Ji Xun was not in a hurry at all.
Others may not know the [JOKER] sequence, but the dead dragon Marodis, who was exiled to the underworld by Emperor Lanlingster, must know it.
The cunning dragon would never kill him like this.
As expected, as soon as he revealed his identity, before others could take action, a majestic voice came from the huge temple: "Let him come to see me"
As soon as this voice came out, everyone including Pope Sophia knelt down towards the temple: "Yes. Lord Dragon God."
Not long after, Ji Xun was led to the Dragon God Temple.
Dragonborn are just servants of dragons and are not qualified to enter the temple.
Sophia and her group stayed outside.
Ji Xun walked in alone.
It's called a temple, but it's more like a huge temple carved into a temple.
Everything here is extremely huge.
One step is three meters high, one door is a hundred meters high, and the stone pillars supporting the hall are still several meters high.
The reliefs around are all carved with epic stories of the dragon clan.
This is not meant for humans.
Ji Xun walked in the temple, as small as a bug that insulted the human temple.
What's more, the deeper he went, the more real the pressure from the upper dragon god became.
Emperor Lanlingster commented that the dead dragon Marodis was "small-minded", and now Ji Xun also saw it.
Probably to avenge his exile, this dragon god actually cared about him, a small human.
Every step Ji Xun took was like looking at a mountain on his body, and he couldn't help but kneel and crawl to survive.
Ji Xun knew that this was the dead dragon deliberately making things difficult, and also wanted to humiliate him as the inheritor of [JOKER].
But he was also sure that the other party would not kill him, so he didn't use any means, and just walked in.
With every step he took, the hard ground cracked into large cracks.
Although he was trembling, Ji Xun did not stop, nor did he have the intention to kneel down and beg for mercy.
He walked until he was bleeding from all seven orifices, and then he reached the door of the hall.
The dead dragon Marodis did not hide his murderous intention, but he was probably afraid that Ji Xun would die suddenly and his purpose would become a secret, so he finally did not make things difficult for him.
"Interesting. Are you really the heir of Lanlingster?"
There was a loud bell-like sound next to his ears, and Ji Xun, whose eyes were filled with blood, finally looked through the gap in the open door and saw clearly the behemoth inside.
In that black and white light was a terrifying giant dragon.
The dragon's body is covered with a layer of dead gray scales that seem to be able to swallow light, and are surrounded by a strange white light.
Its eyes are as deep as the universe, flashing with blue fire. When staring, those eyes seem to have seen through everything.
Ji Xun had seen this dead dragon once when he was in the underworld passage, so it was not surprising.
He looked at those terrifying dragon eyes staring at him, grinning with blood-oozing white teeth, and said neither humble nor arrogantly: "I, Ji Xun, have met His Excellency the Dragon God Marodis."
Marodis's eyes looked up and down at Ji Xun, and then at the clown silhouette behind him. Some dusty memories flashed through him inexplicably, and he murmured to himself: "Is he really dead? Obviously that guy."
He knows the inheritance of human card masters. Since the [JOKER] mark has appeared, the original card master must be dead.
The opponent I once thought I hated so much, now looking back, I can only sigh.
After all, I have to admit that Lanlingster is a respectable opponent. Even though he has been dead for hundreds of thousands of years, he still feels like it was yesterday.
Marodis didn't seem to be interested in knowing Ji Xun's name at all, and said arrogantly: "Human boy, how dare you come here. Haha, I am very curious about what you are going to say. You only have a chance to say one sentence, let me not Kill you. Think about it, I don’t want to hear nonsense.”
"."
Ji Xun wasn't surprised at all when he heard the aggressive tone.
He even felt that even after the Dragon God said so many words, no one had spoken for too long and he wanted to chat.
After all, for a powerful being like a superior god, all human thoughts can be seen at a glance.
He was still interested in saying a few words, just to pass the boring time.
But Ji Xun didn't doubt this guy's determination to kill.
He was extremely sure that if he couldn't explain anything clearly, it was his own death energy.
Therefore, Ji Xun went straight to the topic with one sentence, which also aroused this guy's curiosity: "I'm here to tell you the true cause of death of Emperor Lanlingst."
Upon hearing this, Marodis was indeed interested, but he looked at Ji Xun suspiciously and sneered: "Haha. You don't mean to say that the seriously injured Lanlingst died in Airel. In the hands of that despicable guy?"
This is of course true.
That's not what Ji Xun wanted to say. He said directly: "Emperor Lanlingster did die under the sneak attack of Dragon God Airel. However, there are actually other causes of Zhenzhen's death. You know he went to the depths of the Death Realm, Were you hit hard by something?"
After giving him a chance to say the second sentence, he knew that the other party had taken the bait.
But Ji Xun didn't want to challenge his patience, but said bluntly: "Because this plane is actually controlled by the Titan Protoss. It was those 'plane monitors' who severely wounded Emperor Lanlingst!"
It was also the first time that Ji Xun spoke out about the existence of "plane monitor" so blatantly.
He seemed completely unafraid of being discovered.
The purpose, of course, is to drag this dead dragon into the water!
As soon as these words came out, Marodis' eyes suddenly shrank, and he was shocked: "What!"
He didn't expect to hear such truth.
Marodis can live for such a long time, not to mention that there are some fragmentary records in the dragon family's inheritance.
No wonder he felt that what happened back then was weird. Now when he heard these words, it seemed that some of the weirdness was suddenly explained.
He didn't fully believe it, but he was also interested. The dragon's face showed nonchalance: "Oh, tell me."
Ji Xun directly stated the purpose of his visit: "I came to see Your Excellency Dragon God to form an alliance and make a deal at the same time. As a condition, I will tell you a big secret that affects your life and death."
As soon as these words came out, Marodis's eyes sparkled with light, as if he had penetrated everything: "Haha. Boy, you are so brave. Do you want to drag me into this?"
Of course, Ji Xun didn't think that his little thoughts could hide it from a Dragon God of this stature, and he didn't deny it. Instead, he said righteously: "This matter is related to the survival of all living beings in the entire plane. No matter what you think about this matter, I think it is necessary to explain everything clearly to you. If you still feel that I must die after hearing this, I will leave it to you."
"."
Being plotted by a human, although Marodis was really murderous, he was also really curious.
He remained silent and did not speak.
Ji Xun didn't give the other party any more time to think, and spoke directly: "You should know some information about the 'Seven Lords of Natural Disaster'. What I want to say is that they all originate from the same Titan true god. Who is the true god? , we have to start with the battle of the gods in the Great Collapse Era."
As soon as Marodis heard this beginning, his expression instantly became serious.
