Chapter 235: The God of Mercury (Part II)
"Do you really eat the three hundred virgins that are sacrificed every year?" Mei Xue must know the answer, this is probably the most critical puzzle in this illusion trial.
"Nope." The answer of the god of mercury was so neat that Mei Xue had a delusion that she had heard it wrong.
"No, you didn't eat them?" The truth of the facts came too easily, which made Mei Xue a little overwhelmed.
"Yes, I don't need to eat people to stay alive." The god of mercury nodded, as a matter of course.
"Then why do you want the Tianluo Holy Kingdom to sacrifice three hundred virgins every year?"
"I need them to help me comprehend a higher realm, this is my agreement with humanity, the price that humanity must pay." The god of mercury pointed lightly, and then the mist of the entire silver crystal forest disappeared completely, and at the same time, beautiful figures began to appear in the clusters of silver crystals rising from the ground.
They were all eleven or twelve-year-old girls, occasionally older, but without exception they were beautiful and lovely as dolls, dressed in the most beautiful clothes and the most splendid jewelry that their parents had prepared for them, because they were children who had been sacrificed to the god of mercury, and sacrifices chosen by the gods.
"They're not dead?" Mei Xue looked at this huge crystal forest in shock, if there was a girl who was sacrificed in every cluster of silver crystals, then there were tens of thousands of girls who were sacrificed to the god of mercury in this huge silver forest.
"Of course they are not dead, I need their spirits to feel the power of heaven and earth with me, and I don't need dead bodies. They will live as long as I do, and will be eternal with me when I take the last step in my life. The god of mercury said with a natural expression:
"They are the sons of God I have chosen, the maidens I love."
Well, all the girls here are the sons of the gods of the god of mercury! Mei Xue finally knew what kind of oolong was going on on in the Tianluo Holy Kingdom, but it seemed that it was too late.
"Have they been sleeping like this all the time?"
"Six days a week they were dreaming, and one day was awake enough to walk out of the crystal. I need them to help me complete my final transformation and become a true god. After I truly became a god, they could all wake up. One of the eight huge legs of the god of mercury was raised, and hundreds of thin silver threads were connected to the corresponding silver crystals, and one by one the maidens who were dreaming opened their eyes.
It was a pair of eyes that were incomparably pure, unpolluted by any foreign matter, and the eyes of girls who believed in the god of mercury.
Soon, they came out of the crystal that automatically produced cracks, and approached the god of mercury with expressions of great joy and affection, and some of them even climbed into the body of the god of mercury, as if they had long been accustomed to such games.
Among them, the more daring one was to come up to Mei Xue and look at him with a curious gaze with a temperament similar to that of the god of mercury.
However, they seem to have a little misunderstanding about Mei Xue.
"Kami-sama, who is this big sister?"
"Lady God, her hair is as beautiful as yours."
"Sister, hug."
"Sister, your chest is so flat."
Well, looking at this group of children who are so innocent that they don't know anything about the world at all, Mei Xue retreated.
"Since you didn't eat anyone, why don't you explain to those people in the Tianluo Holy Kingdom? For what reason, the princes of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom all decided that you had eaten everyone. ”
"Here, only the chosen sons of God can enter. I can't get out of here until I've done the last step. ”
"I once sent priests to convey my voice, but all the priests who went to the humans were killed."
"They no longer trust my voice, and they no longer keep the promises they made with me."
"For what? Would humans break their promises and break their promises so simply? ”
"Why did I save them, but they hate me and must kill me?"
The voice of the god of mercury was full of confusion, and it was clear that she had failed to comprehend the complex and fickle human mind. The first generation of humans who made an agreement with her obviously recognized her as a god, and in just a hundred years, the world world has completely changed.
Mei Xue was silent, he knew what this was for, and he probably understood what the princes of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom wanted to do.
They do not allow themselves to be ruled by gods.
They are unwilling to sacrifice their daughter to the god of mercury every year, even if they actually know that their daughter is not dead, but will never come back.
What they want to erase and overthrow is this "God" who has made a promise with them, but his mind is obviously too simple.
Therefore, the god of mercury, who once saved this world and made a contract with humans to sacrifice 300 virgins every year, has become an evil god, a monster that eats people without blinking, and an enemy that must be defeated.
The point is not that the god of mercury eats people or not, but that she ruled the entire Tianluo Holy Kingdom and became a god above all princes and families.
This is not the era of immortal arts, and there is no immortal sect that accepts disciples. This Tianluo Holy Kingdom is ruled by the high princes and families who inherit the bloodline of supernatural powers.
After the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth more than a hundred years ago, the princes and families who have recovered their vitality are no longer willing to continue to be under the god of mercury.
Therefore, they raised the anti-flag, trampled the gods they had believed in in the past, demolished all the temples, and pointed their troops directly at the last habitat of the god of mercury - the islands of mercury.
Are humans wrong? I'm afraid that the princes and families who have gathered a million fleets will not think so, for them, this is a war against the evil gods, a battle to regain the dominance of mankind in the Tianluo Holy Kingdom, and a battle for freedom and dignity.
Is the god of mercury wrong? She did not break her promise with humans, and the annual sacrifice of 300 virgins was an agreement made between humans and the god of mercury, and the god of mercury kept all the sacrifices offered every year by his side and became the son of his god.
It seems that no one is wrong, and both sides have their own reasons.
There is absolutely no way for humans to reconcile with the god of mercury, and the annual sacrifice of 300 virgins is only an excuse for this battlefield, and even without this sacrifice, humans will definitely find other reasons to raise the flag of rebellion.
And the god of mercury will not sit still, so he was chosen and appeared here.
Yes, this is war, this is the truth and cruelty of the illusion trial.
"Is there anything I need to do?" After understanding the essence of this war, Mei Xue has already made a choice.
Since he was arranged to be the son of the god of mercury in the illusion trial, and he also knew the truth of the war, there was only one thing he had to do.
Complete your mission, and join this magnificent war in your own way.
"Thou art my best child, thou art the infinite nightmare of the deep, the unspeakable terror, the scourge of eternal sleep, my child, Senro."
"Defeat, defeat the humans who betrayed me, and don't let anyone set foot in this place until I have completed my final transformation."
"When you were born, even the fragments of the stars glorified you. My child, I am proud to watch you grow little by little, and I believe that you will be able to use your wisdom and strength carefully to bring me news of victory. ”
"Soon, I'm going to reach the last of my life."
"And you will be crowned king, and I will be the proudest son of God."
The voice of the god of mercury echoed in Mei Xue's ears, it was what she expected of him, her trust in him.
"Sister, come on!"
"Sister, defeat those bad guys and help the gods!"
"Sister, we will bless you."
The girls who were awakened by the god of mercury from the silver crystal gathered around Mei Xue to cheer and cheer him on.
This one...... I'm not a sister...... Mei Xue looked at this group of pure-hearted girls with tears and laughter, and seemed to vaguely understand the reason why the god of mercury kept them by her side.
I'm afraid that only these pure-hearted girls can make this incomparably powerful god feel happy, so as to break through the last step of what she said.
Mei Xue didn't know what the last step of the Dao belonged to the God of Mercury, it was still too far away for him.
However, he will keep his promise.
"I'll bring back victory and don't let anyone ruin your last step." This is the promise that Mei Xue made to the god of mercury.
Then, he summoned his silver crystal sword, held it firmly in his hand, and saluted the god of mercury,
At this moment, Mei Xue's eyes became incomparably firm, incomparably focused, and incomparably profound, which was exactly what Huang Fei saw in the early morning of the illusion trial.
It was the eyes of Mo, the king of nightmares who had buried millions of lives, who belonged to the king of the seas.
…………
Approaching the Mercury Islands, in the group of millions of fleets that had recently won successive battles, Xuanyuan Jianying suddenly raised his head.
"Whoa!" A strong north wind blew from the Mercury Islands, blowing the sails of Xuanyuan Jianying's main ship to the sound of hunting.
"The direction of the wind has changed." Xuanyuan Jianying frowned, this million fleet group is not a rune battleship in the Immortal Era, among them, the rune battleships transformed by using the power of immortal civilization only occupy a small part of the entire fleet, and most of the battleships still use the original sail structure.
In the case of a large headwind, the combat effectiveness of these primitive sail warships will be greatly reduced.
"Don't worry, it's just a gust of wind that is about to pass, the battle is on our side, as long as we win a decisive victory in the naval battle, then nothing will happen to us next." The lieutenant of the fleet next to Xuanyuan Jianying, who was also a sword cultivator in the top twenty of the Golden List Stone, shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly, signaling that it was not a big deal.
"Hopefully, I'm too careful." Xuanyuan Jianying looked at the sky that was still relatively clear, with only a small white cloud on the horizon, and began to close his eyes and meditate, preparing for the upcoming battle.
