Chapter 255: The Dust of History
As soon as these words came out, the disciples suddenly showed surprise. The Supreme Elders can be said to be the top power of the country, they are old, they have long ceased to walk in the world, and they will only break through when the sect or country is facing a catastrophe, which is the last killer weapon.
The surprise of the disciples was not only because the problem they faced was so tricky, and they even had to ask the Supreme Elder to solve it, but because the reason why the Supreme Elder would not appear so easily was because they couldn't show up!
In terms of human longevity, 100 years old is already the extreme, and there are a few people who have slightly increased their lifespan due to the promotion of rank, but at most it is only more than ten years, and the age of the elders is at least more than 100 years old. When a certain lifespan is reached, all living things will gradually lose their vitality and eventually die, and the elders are no exception. In order to stay in the world for a longer time, these Supreme Elders no longer walk the world to waste their vitality, but get rid of all distractions, find a secluded place to concentrate on retreat, and extend the little time left as much as possible.
In the retreat, the Supreme Elders were actually on the verge of being seated, so they would only act at the last moment of their own forces' survival. Because as long as they get out of the customs, they have already exceeded the limit of human longevity, and they only have the strength to fight, and then they will follow the laws of nature and die right.
It was such an important and unusable Supreme Elder, Zi'an actually gave an order to ask someone to be sent out of the customs, you know, this decision was tantamount to sentencing the Supreme Elder to death.
No matter how fierce the disputes between sects and countries are, the slightest historical force will not wipe out each other. Not for anything else, it's because of those Supreme Elders who are hidden in the shadows. Even if they only have the power of a battle, but the Supreme Elders are all at the top of the world, once such a master appears, and it is a desperate blow with no turning back, even if a country is destroyed because of this, it is by no means impossible! Even if they can't come forward at any time, as long as these real masters live, they are much more useful than dead.
"Forgive my disciple. At this time, there is no large-scale invasion by other countries, and no sect is in danger of annihilation, and it is not necessary to ask for exit for no reason, I'm afraid there will be no Supreme Elder agree, right?" one of the disciples hesitated, and the others also agreed.
Of course, Zi'an also knows which old antiques are stubborn. If it weren't for the real catastrophe coming, not to mention that he was a national teacher who was only 10 ranks, he would bow and kneel to the whole people, and these old things would not have half a response. But just because he doesn't move doesn't mean that no one can move.
"You take this, I see who dares not to come!"
Zi'an took out a short staff and handed it to his disciple. It is said to be a short staff, but in fact, from head to tail, two centipedes are entangled, and the head is separated from the left and right, which is the tip of the short staff. At first glance, the centipede looks no different from an ordinary centipede, but if you look closely, you will find that the centipede's head clearly has one eye! The eye is so large that it occupies almost the entire area of the head, and the upper and lower eyelids are tightly closed, like a huge copper bell embedded in it.
If Bi Lingxiao was here, he would immediately recognize that this centipede was none other than the Eight Dead Centipedes that had killed him miserably!
"I don't know which Supreme Elder I want to invite?" Although I don't know what this staff is, even the Supreme Elder can drive it, the disciple still respectfully accepts it.
"Elder My Wife of the Puppet Sect, Elder Tian of the Netherworld Sect, and Elder Ziyun of the Royal Family, these three are also the most powerful Supreme Elders in the Eastern Soil. With this staff, the Space Stone can be opened on its own. ”
"My subordinates will do it!"
The disciple nodded and immediately exited the stone chamber. The demon spirit saw everything in his eyes and dutifully conveyed the information obtained immediately and back.
"Centipede cane? Able to use space stones?"
This news surprised Bi Lingxiao very much. The validity of the contract is very monotonous, and if the principal party is identified, there will be no response to anyone else or anything. A teleportation can be opened with just a cane, could it be that this contract is not for one person alone?
According to the situation when I first invaded the Shou Sect, the gem there should have been contracted by my wife Feng Mania. Although the possibility of the contract being invalidated after the death of the other party cannot be ruled out, in short, based on the current situation, the passage of that gem is also controlled by Zikishi. Since the disciple can use it on his behalf with just a cane, it is likely that the contract was not signed by the person, but was identified by some kind of information.
This is an important discovery. If the person making the contract is not an individual, but a breath or some other symbol, then as long as you obtain this identifier, you can use the teleportation channel without breaking the contract.
It can be imagined that although there are also space stones responsible for teleportation in the East Earth, there are definitely not many, because it has been a full three days since the disciple left with the staff, but there is still no sign of returning. In the stone room, Zi'an and his entourage did not leave, but after the disciple left, they meditated on the spot and entered a semi-retreat state, obviously intending to wait for a long time.
I don't know when the other party will come back, and Bi Lingxiao and the others don't dare to go too far. Five days later, the disciples who went to invite Elder Taishang did not return, and the Spear Sect received the news from the Emperor Fenghe first.
"All the masters that our country can reach have been summoned. The Supreme Elders in various places can't easily get out of the pass, but they have already informed the current situation, and once an uncontrollable situation breaks out, they will break through the pass and go out to support the battlefield. ”
When the crystal stone was connected, the first thing that came out was not Feng He's voice himself, but a woman. Bi Lingxiao had heard this voice more than once, so he immediately knew the identity of the other party.
"Looks like the Empress is going to intervene too?"
At the other end of the communication crystal, the emperor of the human race, the empress Mu Jinghua and the Emperor Fenghe sat at the left and right ends of the same table, and when they heard each other's questions, they said unshockedly: "Under normal circumstances, the emperor will not participate in the disputes of various countries. However, the news of this war has been told to me by King Zhongshan as it is, and from the information obtained, this battle has gone far beyond the scope of ordinary war. Previously, the explosive rise of the Dark Envoy had caused a tragedy that lasted for several years, and I judged that this incident was just as dangerous as the Nether Sect riot in history, and therefore could not be ignored. ”
The rebellion of the Dark Envoy should refer to the events created by the Nether Sect in the first place, right?Bi Lingxiao thought secretly.
As one of the seven oldest and most powerful sects in the human world, the Netherworld Sect has experienced a bloody storm in the process of its appearance. First of all, on top of the sect ranking battle, all opponents were completely destroyed. Yes, it's all gone. It's okay for a small sect, but the opponents of the Netherworld Sect at that time were all powerful ancient sects and their subordinate clans. And total annihilation means that even the Supreme Elders behind these sects have not been able to prevent this catastrophe. This new sect, whose members were all dark envoys, shook the human world at that time.
Sect ranking battles have been attended by sects and royal nobles from various countries over the years, and it is precisely that year that the heads of all the countries of the human world are absent. The Nether Sect is a terrifying dominance among sects, and it is terrifying to all the nations of the world. A large part of the strength of a nation depends on the strength of its sects.
The Netherworld Sect was a new sect, but it made the seven ancient sects of the time pale. Having seen the terrifying and extremely cruel extreme strength of its ranking battle, even the Seven Great Sects were deeply suspicious, and even if the Seven Great Sects united, it would even be difficult to compete with them! The appearance of such a terrifying Great Sect in the Eastern Territory, what would happen in the future was self-evident.
Strength is such a wonderful thing. When you have nothing, you will only be treated as ants and trampled under your feet. When you gradually come to the fore, and even compare yourself with other powerhouses, you will be taken seriously and participate in the competition between multiple forces. And when your power is far beyond that of the world in which you are located, and the others cannot even keep up with each other, then the once intriguing and hostile groups will immediately gather to deal with their common enemy.
Even if you are a gentle person with the purest heart, you can't escape the fate of being jointly suppressed in the end, not to mention that the darkness makes abandonment of human nature and pursue evil, which is already hated by the world. For future threats and justification in principle, a great war is imminent.
It was the bleakest and most hopeless time in the human world. There are no words that can describe the state of affairs at that time, and if there is any term that can describe the world at that time, it is hell. Living hell.
The war lasted for 18 years, experienced a total of more than 20,000 large and small wars, 58 countries (excluding tribes, the total number of countries with names in the human world) participated, the whole land of the east was scorched, four generations of kings died in battle, and the human world, which lost 70% of the total population at that time, 23 countries disappeared from then on.
There has never been such a large-scale, large-scale unification, and at the same time such a joint war with such great sacrifices, and in such a situation, I am afraid that even the invasion of the demon army is nothing more than that! However, in the final analysis, this is nothing more than an internal struggle between human beings. This huge war, which lasted for a long time, also contributed a series of luxurious data to the Netherworld Sect.
In the past eighteen years, the Eastern Earth Army with the Netherworld Sect as the core has repelled 7,982 coalition attacks, successfully defended against 6,530 surprise attacks, won 2,741 counterattacks under unfavorable conditions in the initial battle, and disintegrated 4,660 ambush battles and trap battles.
Every piece of data is a miracle in the history of warfare, and the strength of one country alone resists the joint attack of all 58 countries in the human world, and there is no sign of collapse in the 18 years of fierce warfare. At that time, all the soldiers and civilians in the United Nations family even thought that this unprecedented and terrifying war was likely to end in the victory of Dongtu.
Because after a hard war, the population has plummeted and people's livelihood has withered. Every piece of land in the human realm is covered with the blood of civilians, warriors, and sectarian disciples, and there is far more than one layer. No, it's hard to even find a contiguous piece of land, because there are corpses under your feet. Fresh, corrupt, whole, fragmented. Food is scarce, and high-level powerhouses have internal strength to protect their bodies, and not eating or drinking for a long time will not have an effect, but ordinary soldiers and ordinary people have no way to save themselves.
After years of war, almost all the ordinary soldiers and civilians who had no cultivation became victims, and the few survivors were also killed by the ensuing famine and plague. Heaven and earth were darkened by the devastated earth and the innocent souls of the dead on it. The air seemed to be quiet, except for the buzzing of flies and insects on the dead corpses, and the living were all as thin as withered trees, with dull eyes and stiff limbs, like the walking dead.
The stench of decay permeated everywhere, and the sunlight could no longer shine through the gloom and bleakness that shrouded the land of the human world.
