Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

For Wang Haitian, there is no worse situation than before.

The remnants of Zhengyang attack with the power of gods and demons. Five real people with the power to destroy cities and overturn mountains have arrived. They are about to destroy Beiling and compete with Zhu Zhou, the divine bird who should be the pinnacle of real people.

That is a disaster that is enough to destroy the entire Da Beiling District, even the huge Linmo Prefecture, and even the tens of billions of residents in Qinglin Prefecture will be affected and suffer.

If it is only a few hours, then at most tens of millions of people in the mountainous area and around Beiling City will be injured. But if it enters a tug-of-war and the fighting lasts for more than ten days, with the destructive power of a real person at the peak of the mortal world, not to mention Qinglin Prefecture , even the neighboring North Desert and Baishan Prefecture nearby will be affected.

This was a real disaster for Wang Haitian, who devoted himself wholeheartedly to developing Beiling as his "hometown", aiming to completely eliminate poverty in the entire Beiling mountainous area and lead Beiling residents to prosperity.

He simply could not imagine that if Beiling City, which was the smelting center, and the surrounding raw material mines were lost, how many people would be unemployed, how many people would be displaced, and how many children would be unable to receive education in Linmo Prefecture. The 'New Language Popularization' plan has been postponed.

At that time, Wang Haitian's heart was indeed cold, and he felt like the world was spinning for a while.

But the actual development is something no one can predict.

——Who could have imagined that the divine bird Zhu Zhou could be so tyrannical, that he could kill a real person with one strike, and then transform into four spirits in one breath, beating more than one, and in turn completely suppress the opponent?

——Who could have imagined that His Majesty, who was supposed to be sitting in the center of Central Continent, would actually come here?

When the divine light of the Five Virtues lit up from the end of the sky, Wang Haitian, who was still angry and worried because of the thunder disaster punishing the demon, completely calmed down.

He knew it was all over.

Because their Majesty has arrived.

Everything went as the man imagined. With the addition of Ming Zhengde, the remaining Zhengyang remnants were immediately suppressed.

He could see, above the clouds, the Holy Emperor and Zhu Zhou looking at each other.

Wang Haitian was originally a little worried, worried that the two people who didn't understand each other would have conflicts, which would make the two strong men who could have joined forces have a grudge.

However, in the ‘Nine Questions of Zhuzhou’ that seemed to include everything, all worries were eliminated.

Just like real warriors communicate without any words, they only need to shake each other's fists to understand all thoughts and explain all reasons - for two strong men who care about all living beings, as long as they can confirm key principle issues with each other, other Everything is trivial.

Zhu Zhou and Ming Zhengde communicated for a moment at high altitude, but soon, they both headed towards the cracks on the ground that had burst out due to the previous vibration of the earth veins.

"Haitian, Master Zhu Zhou and I will go to the ground to discuss important matters. I will explain to you later."

Before Ming Zhengde entered the underground, Wang Haitian heard the message from his majesty's calm soul: "The Nine Nether Demon Gods have suffered heavy losses. Although I guess they will not retaliate, for the sake of safety, we should lead the surrounding residents to take refuge in the capital of Linmo as soon as possible and give up for the time being. here."

"After all, if the mines and weapon-making pools are gone, they can be rebuilt, but if the people are gone, everything will be empty."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

This was indeed Ming Zhengde's consistent choice. Wang Haitian naturally responded solemnly, but then he became a little uneasy and said: "But Your Majesty, what should be done with the spiritual marrow pillar under the ground...?"

"...I will destroy it myself later."

After hesitating for a moment, Ming Zhengde said: "This matter is of great importance and cannot be known to outsiders. Hai Tian, ​​you should be careful yourself."

Two rays of divine light flashed past and disappeared into the ground.

"...The past two days have been really ups and downs, and it's really hard to feel at ease." Wang Haitian took a long breath and stared at the deep crack where the two people escaped. Wang Haitian didn't know what to say at this moment.

In the past two days, the number of gods, demons and real people he had seen was second only to the time he had seen on the battlefield of the Wude Zhengyang Battle. This was obviously an unusual situation, and the prefect could smell a hint of uneasiness.

In addition, some rumors about the 'Great Tribulation' that Wang Haitian had heard in the past made his imagination even more exciting.

——When Zhu Zhou was born, there was such a drastic change...could it be that this was a sign of the so-called 'catastrophe'?

Rumor has it that there are indeed some magical birds that have strange signs as soon as they are born. Maybe Zhu Zhou is one of them?

After thinking like this, he finally shook his head: "Ignore this for now."

Wang Haitian turned his head and looked at the three master craftsmen: "Gentlemen, did the accident just now affect Master Zhu Zhou's magic sword?"

After seeing Su Zhou's true combat prowess, his emphasis on the recasting of the Blade of Destruction naturally increased - such a powerful divine bird, if it had a Taoist weapon at its disposal, it could really be said to be scornful of everyone. Invincible in the world, I can help your majesty.

"No problem, the magic sword is very good!"

At this moment, the three master craftsmen were checking the situation of the Blade of Destruction. Craftsman Chu answered quickly, then sighed softly, wrinkles trembling on his face: "It's just that since Zhu Zhou is so powerful... it's no wonder that he wants to strengthen the god. Knife."

"Yes, no wonder... I thought that this Blade of Destruction was extremely powerful and worthy of anyone, but now it seems that it does have some shortcomings."

Wu Jiang and Mu Jiang also murmured to themselves - apart from anything else, they were extremely familiar with the Sky-Splitting Sword Yan Changfeng. Whether it was the long sword 'Nine Tribulations' in the opponent's hand or the exquisite swordsmanship, they were all genuine. The most outstanding magical weapons and swordsmanship in the Yang Kingdom.

The Nine Tribulations Divine Sword has even killed Qingluan and been stained with the blood of many real people. Even if it is not as good as the Blade of Destruction, it is not far behind.

His full blow, not to mention splitting the mountain peaks and wiping out himself and the others along with the Forged Weapon Pool, could easily destroy the foundation of the Beiling Mining Area, disrupt the earth's veins, and cause a super earthquake.

But even such a powerful Yan Changfeng could not completely cut off the wings of the divine bird Zhu Zhou with a single blow from the power of the devil.

The strength of Zhu Zhou's wings has surpassed that of many divine weapons.

After thinking about this, the three weapon craftsmen were silent for a moment, and then they all made up their minds: "It seems that we have to do our best - we cannot let the divine sword fall from the majesty of Zhu Zhou Zhenren!"

"There is a piece of Geng gold essence from the bottom box in my Heavenly Man's Weapon-casting Gate."

Chu Wu thought for a while: "With my old face, I am also forging a Taoist weapon. The sect master should give me a small piece to forge the foundation for the magic sword!"

"My divine weapon, the Wu family, also has the ancestral 'Taibai Forged Edge Stone', which can be used to comb the edge of the divine sword."

Jiang Jiang smiled slightly. Her status in the Wu family was higher than that of Chu Wu in the Tianren Weaponry Sect. In addition, combing the sword energy did not consume much, so there was no need to think about it.

As for Mu Wu, because he was too young, the two did not force each other to pay anything.

But who knows, after frowning and thinking for a long time, the young weapon craftsman gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "I... I can ask my master to take action!"

"They are both divine birds, and with the strength of Master Zhu Zhou, if His Majesty the Holy Emperor also opens his mouth, then the master will definitely be willing to come out again!"

Immediately, not only the two master craftsmen of weapon casting, but also Wang Haitian on the side were slightly stunned.

Then, after remembering something, they all took a breath: "Wait a minute, Mu Wu, the master you are talking about is the one who is famous in Qiaojin Gate and Zhenhuo Gate..."

"right."

At this point, Mu Wu no longer thought too much. He nodded solemnly, and then respectfully raised his hands to the void in the direction of Southern Central Continent: "It is the master craftsman who holds the Nanming Lihuo."

"'Suzaku of this time'!"

——Among the divine birds in the world, the phoenix should be respected.

But apart from the Phoenix, the Suzaku is vaguely dominant in the world. Even the Five-Spirit Peacock and the Golden-winged Roc, which are said to be direct descendants of the Phoenix, cannot compare.

In fact, the status of the ordinary single-virtue phoenix is ​​lower than that of Suzaku, the spirit of heaven. Only the five-virtue phoenix with all five virtues can surpass it.

The current Suzaku refers to the strongest one among the divine bird clan, the pinnacle among gods and demons.

"It's actually like this..."

After hearing this, everyone looked solemn. The leading master craftsman Chu Wu looked serious, but his tone became more relaxed: "If this senior takes action, it will be absolutely foolproof!"

at the same time.

Underground, deep in the Beiling veins.

"Am I... dead?"

When Yan Changfeng, who had fallen into a coma after being shrouded in the divine light of the Five Virtues, woke up, he found that he had not died and his soul had returned to the legendary Nine Nethers, but was still shrouded in the divine light.

The mighty power locked his body and mind, and even his thoughts were stagnant, and he could only operate slowly like a rusty mechanism.

Five virtues divine light...

——The five virtues of heaven are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth——

——The five virtues of the heart are virtue, righteousness, propriety, benevolence, and faith——

This is the Five Virtues Saint who is said to be the reincarnation of a phoenix. The new pilgrim emperor Ming Zhengde relied on his fame and his invincible magical power.

It can be used to sweep away the world and restore purity to the world; it can also educate all sentient beings and rectify the morality of the people.

The so-called Phoenix is ​​exactly like this.

Carrying the "virtue of heaven and earth" and "the virtue of human heart", it represents the divine bird of perfection, enlightenment and nirvana.

Whether it is all living beings or the development of the world, they are all shrouded by the wings of the phoenix.

Therefore, even the demon species residing in the human heart can be easily suppressed or even crushed by the divine light of the Five Virtues.

In the past, when the Zhengyang Kingdom was still there, Yan Changfeng, who followed Nan Zhengkai, the leader of the Zhengyang Kingdom, often heard the leader he was loyal to discuss this topic with other leaders of the aristocratic families.

The 'Phoenix Spirit' floats between heaven and earth, and the 'Phoenix God' resides in the hearts of all people. The power of the supreme gods and demons is based on this... The leader of the Five Virtues, Ming Zhengde, accidentally met this point, so he awakened Received the Five Virtues and Great Supernatural Powers.

There are many such discussions.

but……

Yan Changfeng did not try to understand or analyze this information.

His life has always been just about practicing swordsmanship, going into battle, and then completing the mission.

What a phoenix, a god and a demon, and a five-virtue holy emperor, he really didn’t understand.

I am from a family of military commanders. Is it strange that I follow the orders of the imperial court to kill people and follow the orders of gods and demons to complete tasks?

It is not strange to kill, nor is it strange to be killed. Isn't this the life of a military commander?

Since the troubled times were not pacified by the Zhengyang Kingdom, it was normal for them to be pacified by the New Dynasty.

The Zhengyang Kingdom cannot accept this, so it is normal to insist on causing trouble and destruction.

There is no morality in the two countries fighting each other...

What is abnormal are those who insist on classifying their actions as good or evil.

Yan Changfeng thought intermittently.

He is not afraid of death, and even a little yearns for it.

Anyway, he failed in his mission, so it would be normal for him to die. He would not be unwilling or have any burden. When the person holding the sword kills someone, he has already thought of the outcome.

But... right now.

Just then, the man heard the sound.

That was the sound of conversation between 'Zhu Zhou' and 'Ming Zhengde'.

"...What you want to know is about the ancient Phoenix Dragon Tribulation!"

Beiling Mountains.

Underground spiritual vein node.

In the natural formation of blood vessels, and in the dark underground cavity, Yan Changfeng listened blankly to the conversation between the two strong men who had defeated him.

——The calamity of immortality?

——The ancient phoenix dragon catastrophe?

The conversation between Ming Zhengde and Su Zhou seemed to have skipped countless trials and mutual understandings. The two people seemed to have communicated in another field long ago. Now they are directly discussing these matters of Yan Changfeng in the depths of this earth. A 'catastrophe' whose name I have never even heard of.

But what surprised Yan Changfeng the most was that the next topic shifted to himself.

"Why don't you kill him before talking about such important things?"

Su Zhou turned his head and looked at the five virtues divine light surrounding Ming Zhengde.

In that depth, he could vaguely see a small figure, which was Yan Changfeng's suppressed body: "Such a pathetic guy who is so focused on practicing swords that he has become a sword instead of the person holding the sword. , there is no need for him to listen to this."

To young people, Yan Changfeng is a simple remnant of Zhengyang, a villain who intends to destroy Beiling and kill dozens or millions of people.

Even with the magical power of the Demon Devouring Lord, one can clearly see the scarlet-hot murderous and evil aura in this person.

But even Yan Changfeng, who thought that he would be completely crushed soon, did not expect that Ming Zhengde shook his head with some confusion.

"He will surrender...or there is no need to kill him now."

——In the many lives he was repeatedly reborn, even Yan Changfeng had many times when he failed to be loyal to Nan Zhengkai, or was influenced by him midway.

Therefore, Ming Zhengde knew very well that Yan Changfeng had no ability to distinguish between good and evil and simply completed any task.

And this foolish and loyal guy was even more loyal when he was subordinate to him.

In one life, Yan Changfeng even realized his mistakes and lost his way, and began to draw the sword for himself and for the peaceful future of all sentient beings in this world, instead of just drawing the sword at the command of the Lord - and in that life, His strength increased greatly, and his physical training even touched the edge of a god or demon.

It's just a pity that the gods and demons of that life used the devil seeds to erode people's hearts, and soon learned of his plan... Then the gods and demons in the sky took action with anger, wiped out the capital of the new country, killed all the real people in the new country, and made the world Return to the Warring States Period.

Even Ming Zhengde, under the blow of the Emperor of Heaven, was like the mighty sun, and the entire surface of Zhongzhou melted into nothing.

In that battle, Yan Changfeng died to protect Ming Zhengde. Ming Zhengde also learned from that life that although the divine light of the Five Virtues can block the thoughts of ordinary gods and demons, it may not be able to block the thoughts of the God Emperor and the Demon King.

——Yan Changfeng is not an irredeemable villain... It’s just that I didn’t invite him in this life.

So, are the murders he committed in this life related to me?

With such complicated emotions, Ming Zhengde did not kill Yan Changfeng immediately, but only suppressed him.

In response, Su Zhou nodded slightly in his heart.

"Sure enough, this Ming Zhengde is obviously a reborn person, and he has been reborn countless times... This Yan Changfeng must have had a good relationship with him in the past."

According to Su Zhou's original aura of perfection, he knew that even Bai Yingxue had at least a dozen or dozens of chances to be reborn.

Although Ming Zhengde is not yet a 'family member', judging from his achievements, he should have experienced hundreds of rebirths, at least more than a hundred times.

"Although, in theory, one life is independent of the other. If you are cold and smart, you should focus on the relationship in the current life and act without worrying about the old relationship with your past partners."

"But if there wasn't even this bit of empathy, Ming Zhengde probably wouldn't have become the Holy Emperor he is today."

Although it was only a short sentence, Su Zhou had a better understanding of Ming Zhengde's thoughts in front of him.

So he didn't bother to pay attention to Yan Changfeng, who was confused and confused in the divine light beside him, as if he was listening to a book from heaven, and said directly: "Since you don't care, then continue talking."

"nature."

Nodding slightly, Ming Zhengde's expression was solemn.

Then, he told Su Zhou about the truth about this world.

At the very beginning, he talked about the part that Su Zhou was most interested in.

"In folk mythology, it is the phoenix with the five virtues that created the world and created all things. But in fact, according to the most original records in the genealogy records of many divine bird ethnic groups, this is not the case."

"At the beginning of all things, the phoenix and the dragon competed, and the great catastrophe of chaos spread to all the heavens. The phoenix of the beginning defeated the true dragon of the origin, and then the heaven and the earth were created, and all living beings were created."

"No one knows how powerful the Shiyuan True Dragon is, but since it is an existence that can compete with the Pishi Phoenix, his mark must be left in our world today - the rumor is precisely because of this The True Dragon of the Origin placed a curse on this world, so when the heaven and the earth are deficient and all living beings are exhausted, they will not be able to achieve perfection and transcendence."

"That's the so-called calamity of immortality."

And perhaps because of being too tired to create the world, or being severely injured by the True Dragon of the Origin, the Phoenix of the Origin was reborn, and countless innate spirits and divine bird races were born... that is, the birth of the first 'gods and demons'.

The so-called gods and demons are the first batch of naturally extraordinary creatures in this ‘Tian Yuan World’.

It could be a ball of enlightened flame, a ball of enlightened soil, a ball of enlightened anything... Of course, the many divine birds born with the feathers of the phoenix are one of them.

The most powerful one is the "Taichu Celestial Emperor" who created the Heavenly Court of Immortals and Gods, governs almost all innate spirits, establishes the calendar of gods and demons as the co-owner of all things in the world, and establishes the current "Celestial Way of the Stars".

"Although even I don't know quite what the Taichu Heavenly Emperor's heel is, and what the Stars and Heavenly Dao is... But Master Zhu Zhou."

Saying this, Ming Zhengde raised his head, and his eyes seemed to be able to see through hundreds of thousands of meters of deep rock and soil, looking directly at the stars: "There were originally no stars in this world."

"Can you understand this?"

"The True Dragon of the Origin...does there still exist the Heavenly Way of the Stars?"

Hearing this, Su Zhou frowned slightly. He first lowered his head and looked at the deep veins under his feet, then raised his head, his eyes flashed through everything and looked at the stars in the sky: "It's actually like this... It seems that , there is obviously something wrong with the moving stars before, it must be the strange movement of the gods."

"Yes, each of those stars represents an immortal god. The movement of the stars proves that they have taken action."

Ming Zhengde said leisurely: "In short, the Emperor of Heaven in the early days was extremely strict and set up magical rules that almost annihilated all personal will, intending to turn all gods into spokespersons for certain rules or even phenomena - precisely because In this way, in the original Heaven, some immortals rejected this kind of life. They rebelled against Heaven and created various organizations with themselves as the core."

"That is the prototype of the devil - the original source of the devil."

Under the rule of the Taichu Heavenly Emperor, the Heavenly Court was at the top of the world, and even the many demon gods were nothing more than powerless and long-winded opponents.

However, as more and more acquired spirits understand the method of spiritual practice, they begin to practice spiritually.

The first innate spirits began to worry.

They are worried about whether it is possible for these fragile flesh and blood species to practice to the same level as them, or even surpass them.

Therefore, the gods and demons joined forces to collect all the "immortal matter" in the world and return it to themselves, then split the primitive world and opened up two realms, the "Immortal Realm" and the "Nine Nether Demonic Land".

"If the initial calamity of immortality is just a mythical explanation of 'life span', then the true calamity of immortality begins from here."

At this point, Ming Zhengde paused for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said: "...These are what those divine birds told me. After all, the oldest things in the world are not gods and demons, but were born at the same time as heaven and earth and settled on all continents. Some of the divine birds have become gods and demons, while the other part still stays in the ancestral land of the earth. It is precisely through various means that I have obtained the support of these divine birds, so I can reach this point."

"There is no doubt that they are obviously hiding something, such as how a group of scattered demon gods joined forces to create Jiuyou, and who the first generation demon lord was... But in general, the situation is roughly like this."

"Based on my research, I can also know that something should be missing in the world today. Before that thing was missing, even if the earth veins absorbed the life essence, all living beings could naturally resist the power of the earth veins to absorb the longevity essence. And this thing We don’t know what it is, so we simply call it immortal matter, immortal matter.”

"So that's it." Su Zhou, who had been listening patiently, nodded slightly: "After the Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation, the world was born, and in order to suppress the born creatures, the gods and demons collected immortal matter and created the Tribulation of Immortality, causing all living beings to lose their longevity. , suppress the mortal world?"

He thought to himself: "This immortal matter doesn't sound like it's spirituality...or is it not just spirituality?"

"Listening to what Ming Zhengde said, for people in this world, it seems that the earth's veins absorb life essence, which is what heaven should do. There is nothing wrong with it. It even has the flavor of 'all living beings are born on the earth and return to the earth'. On the contrary, it is The so-called 'immortal matter' sounds like something that was deliberately created to prevent the earth from absorbing the energy of all living beings."

At the very beginning, the true dragon of origin competed with the phoenix of creation, and then thought of the huge fragment of will that he sensed deep in the earth's veins... and the 'dragon and snake sacrificial pillar' forged by Ming Zhengde, as well as this world, The attitude of treating dragons and snakes as a taboo.

Su Zhou had some vague guesses in his mind - and Ming Zhengde also hinted at this in his words.

"Could it be said that this Tianyuan Mortal Realm itself is... just like the Divine Dragon World in the past, the ancestral dragon that surrounded the world?"

He thought to himself that he wasn't entirely sure yet.

"Yes."

At this time, Ming Zhengde also responded to Su Zhou's previous summary. The young emperor closed his eyes and felt the majestic power deep in the earth's veins. He said softly: "No matter what the truth is, the fact is that gods and demons oppress all living beings. Without the material of immortality and the opportunity to attain enlightenment, it will be difficult for living beings to give birth to gods and demons."

"After the opening of the Immortal Nine Netherworld, the top level of cultivation in the Tianyuan Mortal Realm is the 'real person'. No matter how many amazing and talented people appear along the way, or even those who can slightly compete with the gods and demons as real people, their final results will be the same. It turns into loess.”

"But the calamity of immortality has intensified since tens of thousands of years ago, a great demon lord appeared in the Nine Nether Demon Realm. This demon lord was so talented and wise that he unified the originally chaotic Jiuyou and created an order belonging to the demon. "

"He fought with Tai Hao, the second generation Emperor of Heaven after Emperor Taichu, and finally both disappeared three thousand years ago. The Nine Netherworld of Immortal Heaven, which was already in turmoil due to various reasons, was wrapped in the turbulence of time and space, and it even broke time and space. From unknown to The famous place released the three major 'wild monster ethnic groups' of 'Lin', 'Mao' and 'Kun', invading the immortal world and the mortal world."

"Although the wild demons have now been suppressed and eliminated, since the battle between the Heavenly Emperor and the Demon Lord and the birth of the demons, the calamity of immortality has further intensified, and the lifespan of almost all realms has been reduced by nearly one third. The calamity of immortality It intensified again - and Jiuyou also took advantage of the situation, and for a time it was able to compete head-on with Xiantian, who had the advantage in the past."

After finishing speaking, Ming Zhengde sighed: "No matter whether those divine birds have something to hide, but no matter what, the gods and demons are actually a cancer that has entrenched themselves on all living beings in this world."

"With their existence, it is absolutely impossible for all the people in the Tianyuan Mortal Realm to experience happiness."

"So, I want to help all living beings survive and open up a road to isolate gods and demons and cut off the calamity of immortality... But the night is long and there is no dawn."

At this point, Ming Zhengde turned his head and looked at Su Zhou. He solemnly said: "Master Zhu Zhou, you must have sensed the 'Original True Dragon Earth Vein Sacrifice Pillar' I set deep in the earth veins? You seemed to have triggered it before. It, then I don’t need to hide it from you.”

"This earth vein sacrificial pillar is a key part of my plan to use the earth veins to use its power to achieve heavenly power... I am sorry that I cannot go into details here now, but if you go to the capital of the new dynasty and sign a contract with me, I will definitely tell everything truthfully!"

"Of course, you and I have known each other for less than half an hour, how can we say more?"

Su Zhouhun didn't care about this. He looked at Ming Zhengde and said with a smile: "And you have said enough. I can completely feel your sincerity."

"That's very good."

With a sigh, Ming Zhengde nodded somewhat complicatedly.

Indeed, there are still many things that he has not explained in detail. Even though he knows that Zhu Zhou is not an enemy, some information is of great importance and cannot be disclosed casually.

The complex emotions flowing in his eyes could not be analyzed clearly even by Su Zhou who peered in without thinking.

Afterwards, Ming Zhengde bowed slightly to Su Zhou and saluted: "Master Zhu Zhou, you protected the people of Beiling and killed the remnants of Zhengyang and even the incarnations of gods and demons. I am here to thank you on their behalf." One sound."

In response, Su Zhou accepted it calmly and returned a salute. This immediately made Ming Zhengde wonder: "Why is this? I respect the real person and protect all living beings, why are you saluting me?"

"Because you intend to extend the life span of all sentient beings and disobey the gods and demons."

The young man replied readily: "It makes me feel good to risk the world's disapproval and go against those guys, so why not salute?"

"Do you want to do whatever you want? This sounds like a sense of great freedom..."

Hearing this, Ming Zhengde frowned slightly, but quickly shook his head: "No, Master Zhu Zhou, you don't have the aura of the devil in your body. I'm overthinking it."

"Huh?"

On the contrary, Su Zhou couldn't help being slightly stunned after hearing this.

Because Ming Zhengde didn't think too much - his natal magical power, the Demon Devouring Lord, if practiced to the highest state, would indeed be the state called 'Great Freedom'.

——Doing whatever you want, doing good and evil according to your heart, is the foundation of great freedom.

When he said before that the second generation demon lord was the Great Freedom Demon Lord, he also muttered something with the same name in his mind, but he didn't expect that there was actually a corresponding skill?

Therefore, Su Zhou asked directly: "What is that?"

Probably because this is a well-known thing, Ming Zhengde sighed and said: "Jiuyou intends to implement the practice of gods and demons in the human world. In the same way, Xiantian also intends to implement the 'Holy Way' in the human world. This practice.”

"It's not that the gods and demons can't come to the world, it's just that they don't want to because the price is too high, so they would rather support the human forces for their own use - originally that force was the Zhengyang Kingdom, and I defeated Zhengyang, so they came to find me Got me."

"Through... various attempts. I have found out the bottom line of gods and demons, and rejected most of the privilege treaties between gods and demons. However, the bottom line is to let the new dynasty promote their practice. If they do not want to, they will definitely send gods to come. The world is ruined for all living beings."

"In order to gain time for stable development, I signed a contract with the gods and demons. They cannot personally interfere with the development of the new dynasty, but I also want to make these two major practices popular in the world."

After saying this, Ming Zhengde looked at Su Zhou, his eyes burning, as if he was waiting for Su Zhou's response and opinion.

After all, his behavior is essentially no different from cooperating with gods and demons... This behavior that seems to be inconsistent with his previous great wish may indeed be confusing and make him doubt his determination.

——Fighting is not absolute, it means absolutely not fighting. There are always people in this world who will say this.

In fact, Ming Zhengde didn't need to say these words at all, but for some reason, facing this Zhu Zhou, an 'odd number' that he had never seen in 30,000 lifetimes, he couldn't help but say more, wanting to observe the other person. Reaction.

And Su Zhou's reaction was indeed beyond his expectation.

"Awesome, can you let me see these gods and demons practice?"

There was no imaginary rejection.

Su Zhou even started to beg with great interest: "I want to see what these gods and demons want to do when they hindered the practice of sentient beings before and now want to promote their practice!"

"this……"

Ming Zhengde was stunned, but he didn't expect Su Zhou to be so straightforward. He blinked, and there was even a trace of confusion in his eyes.

——Divine Birds, aren’t the Divine Birds a race that understands etiquette, is virtuous, reserved and tactful in every word and deed, and is extremely arrogant?

I was a little confused before. This Zhu Zhou's body doesn't look like a divine bird at all. Even the Chongming Bird is not as strong as him. Now it seems that the divine bird doesn't speak human words and makes ten sentences in one sentence. There are no characteristics at all, and it is incredibly refreshing.

But no matter how confused he was, Ming Zhengde still stretched out his hand, condensed two inheritance imprints out of thin air with his spiritual thoughts, and pushed them to Su Zhou: "This is it - I have studied these two cultivation methods in detail, and the memorization is quite complete. , but if you really want to perceive the true meaning of this magical practice by gods and demons, you still have to go back to Kyoto, Zhongzhou, and directly perceive the monument of gods and demons."

"Furthermore, I heard that you, Zhenren, need divine iron to sublimate the divine weapons? Although my new dynasty's treasury is not rich, a few pieces of divine iron, and even clues to the divine and demon-level spiritual materials that you must be very interested in, Zhenren, are still You can take it out.”

"Thank you, that's a big help."

After thanking him cheerfully and taking over the two inheritance brands, Su Zhou could certainly hear Ming Zhengde's secret meaning - to put it bluntly, the other party wanted him to go to Kyoto to sign a cooperation contract, and the sooner the better.

This is not surprising. After all, only if both parties show sincerity can the subsequent cooperation continue.

So he simply responded: "Later, I will go to Kyoto with you to have a look."

At this point, the journey has generally come to an end.

Ming Zhengde's trip this time was just to see Zhu Ri and see what kind of anomaly existed, whether it was good or evil, strong or weak.

But now that the result is revealed, he is extremely happy - although the divine bird Zhu Zhou seems to be born in danger, he still has the common people in his heart. Even the friendliest among the many divine birds are far inferior to him, and their strength is even more powerful. To counter the desire of gods and demons to come to the world, if we cooperate, it can really be a big help.

"Maybe...this is the change I've always wanted?"

Thinking secretly in his heart, Ming Zhengde found it difficult to explain the complex emotions in his heart, which were a collection of countless contradictory emotions such as joy, doubt, curiosity, wariness, worry and relaxation.

As a reborn person, he longs for everything to be extremely stable and maintain the original situation before he makes changes in each life, so that he can save regrets. But in fact, every time he implemented it, he felt painful because of the difficult and difficult reality, and he longed for changes that could break the deadlock.

Of course, what he couldn't grasp the most was whether 'Zhu Zhou' would appear in the 'next life'.

——If Candlelight appears every time from now on, that would be great.

——If it is a 'miracle' that only occurs once in thirty thousand lifetimes, then after this failure, the worst possible scenario is to come back again in thirty thousand lifetimes to see if it can break through.

——But what if it’s just this one time, and there are no more accidents in the future?

The various possibilities made Ming Zhengde, who had long been accustomed to making perfect plans through various experiences of his own rebirth, feel unspeakably confused.

He felt like there was a fork in front of him with infinite possibilities, and he didn't know whether the final result would be good or bad.

Because he was carrying so much that it was difficult for him to step on it.

However, even so, the 'torrent of time' will still advance.

"Master Zhu Zhou, wait a moment, I need to go to the depths of the earth line first and destroy the earth line sacrificial pillar."

Thousands of thoughts flashed through Ming Zhengde's mind, and he nodded slightly to Su Zhou: "It's a matter of confidentiality. Since Beiling has been paid attention to by gods and demons, we can't continue to take risks."

In fact, this time Ming Zhengde insisted on taking Su Zhou to the Earth Line to talk, which was to cover up the operation of destroying the Earth Line Sacrifice Pillar. In this way, the gods and demons would think that he had confidential matters to talk to Zhu Zhou.

"Are you talking about the dragon-snake jade pillar made of spiritual marrow?"

Hearing this, the first thought that flashed through Su Zhou's mind was 'what a pity'.

Not to mention the preciousness of the spiritual essence, even a small piece of it is worth the same as a miniaturized high-performance nuclear battery. In places with abundant spiritual energy, it can be regarded as an energy reserve that will not be exhausted, and large-scale spiritual essence is even more valuable. It can be used as the cornerstone and energy source of a super-large land or even a planet-level formation - the Dragon-Snake Sacrifice Pillar is like this. In essence, it is part of the cornerstone of a super-large formation.

As for the dragon-snake sacrificial pillar itself, it was obvious that many Tiangong cultivators and formation masters spent a long time and experience to create it, and no mistakes could be made during this period.

Although he also understood that something of such vital importance could not leave any clues to the gods, demons or even anyone.

But no matter how you think about it, it is still a pity that such a divine object that has exhausted a lot of hard work and can communicate with the huge fragment of will deep in the earth's veins is destroyed directly.

Soon, though.

Su Zhou came up with a good idea to get the best of both worlds.

"You have to destroy it anyway."

When Ming Zhengde and Ming Zhengde went deep into the earth's veins millions of meters deep, the young man directly suggested: "Why don't you just give me the sacrificial pillar?"

——Made a loud noise.

"Huh? This?"

Hearing this, even though his mentality is as calm as the earth and his cultivation is as deep as the sea, Ming Zhengde couldn't help but look stunned and said blankly: "It is something to be destroyed, but it is not inevitable..."

"But, Master Zhu Zhou, what use do you have for this sacrificial pillar? Moreover, it is so huge, and its spiritual power is so powerful. Ordinary mustard seeds and Sumeru, and the magic of the universe in its sleeves, cannot be carried."

"It's okay, I have my own solution."

With a laugh, Su Zhou opened his personal space. He directly took out the huge iron mountain that was used as a scabbard for the Blade of Destruction. After showing it in the earth vein for a while, he immediately took it back.

The iron mountain of the scabbard is also full of rune formations, which are used to relieve the blade of the Blade of Warmth and the power of wishes and curses lodged on it. In a sense, it can also be said to be a magic weapon, with Extremely strong spiritual power fluctuations.

Although it is far inferior to the dragon and snake sacrificial pillar, as a demonstration, Su Zhou has shown the capital and ability to accommodate such huge spiritual objects.

"..."

For a moment, Ming Zhengde even forgot to continue on his way, but stayed in place, staring at the direction where Su Zhou opened his personal space before releasing and retracting the metal mountain.

Su Zhou also had to stop.

At first, he thought that Ming Zhengde regretted agreeing so easily, or that he was shocked by his own actions.

But the young man did not expect that the new emperor would show an extremely rare expression that could be called 'ecstasy'!

"Zhu, Master Zhu Zhou, this seems to be... a small secret realm naturally associated with you?!"

Looking back from where his personal space was, Ming Zhengde took a long breath and then slowly calmed down.

He was staring at Su Zhou at this moment, his eyes were extremely bright: "No wonder, no wonder I have never heard of the Zhu Zhou clan in the past, nor of Kunlun in Xizhou... You are living in the secret realm where your ancestors were naturally associated with you in the past, right?"

"Huh? Um...right!"

How could Su Zhou know that Ming Zhengde had this reaction? What kind of ancestral secret realm? This idea of ​​​​imagining is really weird and ridiculous. It is amazing that even Zhu Zhou's ecology has been imagined.

But after being stunned for a moment, the young man followed the words and admitted: "Objectively speaking, it is true!"

"OK!"

Hearing this, Ming Zhengde clenched his fists subconsciously.

In the Tianyuan Mortal Realm, apart from the many sacred iron materials bred in the earth's veins, other places are really not rich in resources.

Not to mention anything else, because the world has been created for millions of years, during which time gods and demons have opened up the two realms of immortality, heaven and nine secluded worlds. The few remaining mustard seeds and spiritual materials in this world have all been consumed. Jing——Even if it existed, it would be absolutely impossible to carry a great magic weapon-level rare object such as the Dragon Snake Earth Vein Sacrifice Pillar, whose total spiritual power far exceeds that of an ordinary real person.

However, who would have thought that the Zhuzhou clan would naturally be associated with a secret realm?

The trace of aura that Su Zhou showed when he opened his personal space just now made Ming Zhengde feel that in Zhu Zhou's secret space, not only the five elements are complete, but also there is a life cycle!

This is not a direct descendant of Phoenix. What is a direct descendant of Phoenix?

This secret realm is really more than enough to accommodate a dragon-snake sacrificial pillar!

"In this way, the issue of 'secret transportation of sacrificial pillars' that bothers me the most has the most perfect solution! If Zhu Zhou can be my helper, this is the most complicated plan, a step that connects all the land lines in Tianyuan Middle Continent. It can be done easily!”

"If we can solve this problem, what's the point of one sacrificial pillar? It doesn't matter if there are ten!"

With such thoughts in his mind, Ming Zhengde also chose some words that he could say to Su Zhou now, and the young man naturally nodded in agreement.

For such a confidential matter, we can only give a general outline verbally. For the specific situation, naturally both parties will go to Kyoto to discuss it in detail when signing the contract.

Soon, Su Zhou and Ming Zhengde arrived at the deepest part of the earth.

In front of the huge and magnificent jade pillar that exudes a bright white halo.

The Origin True Dragon Earth Vein Sacrifice Pillar is currently located in the center of an empty underground cavity, with a layer of formation drawn around it to block the aura.

The huge chalcedony itself is a condensed creation of the earth's essence. Its existence itself is like a small section of solidified earth's veins.

Not to mention the mysterious and complicated formations above, which are engraved with various formations related to the earth's veins, the value of the raw materials itself is enough to create dozens of magic weapons.

"Then I'll start."

"Please take action."

After hearing the permission, Su Zhou was naturally not polite. He stretched out his hand, expanded his personal space, and then moved directly into the void, sucking the earth vein sacrificial pillar directly into it, and buried it in the center of the island in his personal space.

boom! The heavy soil moved and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground was heard.

You can vaguely hear the exclamations of the Wisdom Tree and the Mighty Blade Spirit - and the 'earth' attribute in the entire personal space, as well as the concentration of spiritual energy, has experienced an extremely obvious increase!

On the other side, Ming Zhengde was even more surprised and happy when he saw Su Zhou so relaxed and without any strong gestures.

"Okay, okay! It's really perfect!"

"If I could learn this magical power, I would be willing to pay any price!"

"If it doesn't work in this life, then in the next life, after I learn how to do it, I can accomplish it all by myself even if Zhu Zhou is not born!"

Little does he know that this human dimension requires the crystallization of various magical worlds from the beginning of the world to be completed, otherwise he will sigh with regret.

After doing all this, the two of them followed the cracks in the earth's veins, transformed into divine light, and flew toward the surface.

When Su Zhou and Ming Zhengde arrived on the surface, what was waiting for them was Wang Haitian with a worried look on his face.

"What's wrong, Hai Tian, ​​didn't I ask you to go to Beiling City to evacuate the people first?"

At this time, Ming Zhengde was in a pretty good mood - and he was even more tolerant of Wang Haitian, who had helped him a lot in many lives and developed almost all the important connections in the entire Central Continent: "No need to worry, just report to me if you have anything." Bar."

After all, he had really solved many of the heavy burdens in his heart. Many difficulties that were originally difficult to solve seemed to be solved directly in front of Zhu Zhou.

"It's urgent news from Cang Xiangguo..."

Wang Haitian saw Master Zhu Zhou coming out of the earth together with His Majesty, and his face was excited. It was obvious that he had just discussed the next plan. This made him equally happy, knowing that what he thought was right, Zhu Zhou The real person may really be able to relieve His Majesty's worries and lend a helping hand.

But just now, the minister of the new dynasty, the unemployed but well-known Zhen Guo Cangsong, hastily sent a fiercely worded briefing, asking him to pass it on to the other party when he meets Ming Zhengde. The tone is Very excited.

"Is it Cangsong? When, why didn't you send it to me directly... Oh, I was in the earth line just now, no wonder."

After receiving the jade slip briefing from Wang Haitian, Ming Zhengde had a smile on his face at first.

But after he read the contents, even Su Zhou, who was exploring the dragon-snake sacrificial pillar in his personal space, could clearly sense that the other party's aura suddenly changed, and his mood quickly changed from stable to shocked. Incredulous and furious: "What?! How is that possible?!"

For a moment, the entire Beiling mining area shook slightly, as if in response to the Holy Emperor's anger.

However, Ming Zhengde soon seemed to have figured it out, and his face turned pale: "Yes, yes...this is the god and demon. This is the god and demon."

Su Zhou withdrew his attention from his personal space. He did not ask, but just stared in the direction of the other party.

Then, after a while, Ming Zhengde closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then he sighed and turned his head to look at Su Zhou.

His face was solemn, and he said sadly and solemnly: "Just now, the remnants of Zhengyang lurking in various places went out collectively and attacked the four states of Jinye, Xishan, Chiqiu, and Dongxuan, and even Zhengyang who lived on the coast of the Southern Continent. The Yang Yi Kingdom mobilized, and a total of twelve real people took action. Before the strong real people stationed in the local area arrived, tens of millions of people were directly killed. The final casualties may exceed 100 million. Cities, institutions, spiritual weapons and other losses were destroyed. No calculation."

"There is even a real person on our side who was attacked by Nan Zhengkai, the leader of Zhengyang Kingdom, and now...has died for his country."

Su Zhou could see that Ming Zhengde had clenched his fists.

"I lost my temper, please forgive me."

Asking for a monthly ticket.

I've been in a bad state lately, and that's all today...
