Chapter 246: The wind is sluggish and the water is cold
It was not for nothing that the princes of the Heavenly Luo Holy Kingdom and the patriarchs of the four major families would celebrate each other in such a snap of their fingers, because just like the legend, the sons of the stars who fell from the sky brought them good luck.
As the mainstay of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom, how could they not know the terrifying power of the God of Mercury in the Dao Dao, and suppress the earth, water, fire, and wind with their own strength, set up an altar, and proclaim the name of the god is not an empty rumor, but a story that really happened on the land of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom.
More than a hundred years ago, the god of mercury that came out of nowhere shocked the entire Tianluo Holy Kingdom. In that catastrophe, she suddenly appeared and made a pact with humans that humans would send her 300 virgins every year, and she would protect mankind through the catastrophe and protect the bloodline inheritance of mankind.
In the desperate situation that the entire Tianluo Holy Kingdom was about to collapse, the princes who ruled the Tianluo Holy Kingdom and the patriarchs of the four major families unanimously agreed to this agreement, and since then, for a hundred years, this agreement has been listed as the highest priority sacred contract of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom, and it has never been forgotten.
However, the patriarchs of that generation who made a contract with the god of mercury, the princes have passed away after all. And the new generation of princes and patriarchs who have inherited their positions have begun to be dissatisfied with their positions.
Before that Heaven and Earth Tribulation, all the territories of the Heavenly Luo Holy Kingdom belonged to them. They are the only rulers of the Heavenly Luo Holy Kingdom, the princes who can decide the life and death of all mortals with one word. That king is just a symbolic mascot, and they are the masters of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom who control the lifeline of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom with the clan bloodline as the center.
But after the appearance of the god of mercury, everything changed.
In the hundred years that the God of Mercury ruled the Heavenly Luo Holy Kingdom, most of the people of the Heavenly Luo Holy Kingdom devoutly believed in the God of Mercury, and the divine power completely overwhelmed the absolute authority of the king and the patriarch, making them feel a huge sense of grievance for the second generation, who had inherited the position of their ancestors and were ready to start a big fight.
Why, you do have merit in saving the world, but a hundred years have passed, and those you saved have all died, and you still have 300 virgins to sacrifice every year.
You say that none of the virgins sacrificed to you have died, but why has no virgin ever returned, and who will believe you?
This era does not belong to you! The Heavenly Luo Holy Kingdom does not need gods, what it needs is freedom, and it is the true master who has ruled this kingdom for thousands of years!
They are the owners of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom, not this mercury spider who is not even a human and claims to be a god!
For freedom!
In order to take away the dignity and power that originally belonged to human beings, the god of mercury must be an evil god, a monster that eats people and does not spit out bones!
Crusading against the evil gods is the unshirkable duty of any citizen of the Heavenly Luo Holy Kingdom.
And they, even if they are unscrupulous, must kill this monster and return the Tianluo Holy Kingdom to a clear and sunny day!
This was the joint decision of the princes of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom and the patriarchs of the four major families, and their declaration of the gods who once ruled the Tianluo Holy Kingdom.
Here, all the highest-end power of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom is gathered.
Marquis of the Eastern Regions, Tianluo Ming, the leader of the Eastern Princes of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom.
Marquis of the Western Regions, Tianluo Sheng, the master of the Western Land of Tianluo Holy Country.
Marquis of the Southern Regions, Tianluo Prison, the leader of the southern princes of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom.
This is the traditional rule of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom, and all those who become princes of one side will give up their original surname, change their surname to "Tianluo", and use the name of the country as their own surname.
Originally, according to the tradition of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom, there was also a northern marquis, but now that position is held by the chief priest of the god of mercury, and when the chief priest was in the peace negotiation season, he had been killed by the three princes in a sneak attack, so there are only three princes left in the current Tianluo Holy Kingdom.
In addition to these three princes, there are also the patriarchs of the four major families rooted in the Tianluo Holy Kingdom, they are.
He is good at metallurgy and casting, and is the patriarch of the stone family with craftsmen as the inheritance.
Good at military formation and command, the head of the Zhao family of the Wuli clan.
There are many talents in the clan, and the Han family is the patriarch of the clan with books.
The head of the Yin family, who has many ghosts and assassins.
The three princes, plus the patriarchs of the four major families, are the highest-level dominant power of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom, and they are also the most powerful power in this era of supernatural bloodlines.
In fact, the three princes are more or less related to the four major families, and even one of them is directly the direct line of the Zhao family, but he gave up his original name after becoming the Dongfang Marquis.
In the history of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom, the four major families and the four princes who ruled the Tianluo Holy Kingdom (now there are only three) were in a relationship of mutual support and competition.
The throne of the Heavenly Luo Holy Kingdom, that is, the puppets chosen between them, sit in turn. Due to the marriage of too many generations, the princes and the four major families have formed an inseparable relationship, and together they control the entire Tianluo Holy Kingdom.
Until more than a hundred years ago, the silver mercury god appeared on the land of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom that suffered the catastrophe of heaven and earth.
In the following hundred years, the divine power completely overwhelmed the royal power, and the aura of the human beings on the patriarchs and princes of them completely faded.
No matter what their generation has accomplished, no one thinks it's a big deal.
Someone invented a completely new weapon, a metal formula, and people just pouted and told him:
"This is a gift from God, thanks to the great God of Mercury."
Someone used his courage and wisdom to defeat the monsters of evil, and people will say the same:
"Thank you for the gift of the god of mercury, you must be the hero chosen by the god of mercury."
Some people have done their best to improve people's living standards, so that the four seas are peaceful, and they do not close their doors at night, and all they get is this sentence:
"Thank you to the god of mercury for your blessing."
Why! The man who invented new weapons and forged new alloys was furious, he had not been blessed by the god of mercury, it was all his own efforts.
Why! Use your own life to fight with monsters, and finally in the life and death of the god of war opponents of the people are not convinced, when he was dying and dying, he has been helped by the god of mercury, he relied on his own strength to defeat, this is the glory he should get, what does it have to do with God.
Why, staying up all night and spitting out a mouthful of blood for the people of the people, he has done the best, obviously because of his efforts, all the credit for what has been attributed to the god who has not appeared since the catastrophe of heaven and earth.
They are the most outstanding group of people in the Tianluo Holy Kingdom, and they are also the new generation cultivated by the four great families, and they have done better and better than any previous era.
But a fluttering "thank you to the god of mercury" wiped out all their efforts and took away the glory that should have belonged to them.
They are unconvinced, unwilling, and do not want to live in the shadow of the god of mercury for the rest of their lives.
So, they rebelled.
Even if the terrifying power of the god of mercury in the Zhilu Dao, even if the battle of the Zhilu Dao will definitely cause countless people to shed blood and sacrifice, they will not hesitate to do it.
They are the elite of the true elite, the powerhouses who have inherited the ancient bloodline, and their combat effectiveness has surpassed that of the previous generation in an all-round way. They had the confidence and the courage to challenge that terrifying silver monster called the God of Mercury, which was actually an ancient creature of the Mercury Spider.
To this end, they gathered all the manpower and material resources of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom to create an unprecedented army of one million fleets in the Tianluo Holy Kingdom, and set off towards the Mercury Islands.
However, this is not all they have to do.
Behind this million-strong army that could sweep through the Mercury Islands, there was a peerless master with the ability to shuttle through the Heavens and Underworlds, who was responsible for observing the results of this million-strong fleet of the Heavenly Luo Holy Kingdom.
It would be best if he could break through the Mercury Islands with the cooperation of the legendary sons of the stars, and in the event of an unpredictable accident, he would also truthfully report to them who had hidden the highest level of force and waited for the result.
The group of warships that gathered a million-strong army could be abandoned from the beginning, and this was the strategy of the princes and patriarchs of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom.
Although they had not witnessed the God of Mercury suppressing the Great Tribulation, they could deduce some clues from her actions.
Before the birth of the god of mercury, there was no sign of a large-scale disappearance of virgins in the Tianluo Holy Kingdom, which proves that the god of mercury does not need to eat people, but after the Heaven and Earth Tribulation, she has to accept the sacrifice of three hundred virgins from the Tianluo Holy Kingdom every year according to the contract, which seems to prove one thing - she was injured in the process of suppressing the Heaven and Earth Tribulation.
Since raising the rebel flag to the present, the princes and patriarchs of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom have confirmed this vital information step by step.
If it weren't for the injury, it would never have been possible for the powerful god of mercury to stay in the temple of the Mercury Islands all the time.
If it weren't for the great damage of vitality, how could the god of mercury, who could even suppress the Heaven and Earth Tribulation, give them a chance to rebel.
It was precisely because they had gradually discovered the truth that the God of Mercury was injured and could not leave the Mercury Islands, that their actions went from the dark to the light, and finally wiped out all the Mercury God priests in the Tianluo Holy Country, and launched this righteous battle that would completely change the fate of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom.
Even if they have to sacrifice the lives of millions or tens of millions of people, even if they have to fight until rivers of blood flow and corpses are strewn all over the field, they will never regret it and never give up.
The million-strong fleet that has now been wiped out is the sacrifice they sent for the decisive battle with the god of mercury, and the most powerful god of the god of mercury is also consumed.
"It's a necessary sacrifice, and they're going to be real heroes." Dongfang Hou Tianluo Ming stood up and spilled the wine in his cup on the ground to commemorate the subordinates who had already died.
"Everything, for the sake of the Heavenly Luo Holy Kingdom." Western Hou Tianluo Sheng also stood up and drank the wine in his hand.
"My people, your death is definitely not without a price." Nanfang Hou Tianluo's eyes were full of sorrow, and he slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground.
In this battle, the elite army of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom was truly wiped out, and if the Mercury Islands now invaded the mainland of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom in turn, I am afraid that they would no longer be able to gather an army of more than 100,000 people.
However, the Mercury Islands would not do that, and the three princes knew this better than anyone else.
Because, the god of mercury who used that devastating scourge must now be in his weakest state.
This is exactly what they have obtained at the cost of their millions of troops, the only chance they can kill the God of Mercury and save the Heavenly Luo Holy Kingdom.
Although the million-strong fleet that gathered all the forces of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom has been completely wiped out, they still have the trump card of the worst of the world, that is, the great supernatural power hidden by them, the real ultimate force of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom.
These powerhouses who have awakened their own bloodline supernatural powers are the warriors who are used to give the god of mercury a fatal blow, the trump cards of the princes of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom and the patriarchs of the major families.
"For many years, we have been living in the shadow of the god of mercury, and now we can finally be ashamed." Dongfang Hou waved his hand, called his personal guard, put on the battle armor inlaid with cyan spar, and instantly turned into a majestic general.
"Quick, quick, today we can fight side by side again, think about what humiliation we suffered back then, this time I will take down the head of the evil god with my own hands." Xihou Dalu laughed, and also ordered his personal guards to put on similar armor for himself.
"You're still the same." Nanfang Hou shrugged his shoulders, and countless bloodshots suddenly appeared on his forehead, looking extremely hideous and terrifying.
"It's come to this, we have no way out, this is the last battle." The patriarch of the Shi family stood up, and a layer of loess covered him, turning him into a giant of rocks.
"The age of the god of mercury must end in our hands." The patriarch of the Zhao family held a spear in his hand, and his eyes looked coldly at the far north.
"After the war, it's almost time for me to go home and get married. The peach blossoms have already bloomed last year, and they will probably bloom even more brilliantly this year. "The patriarch of the Han family is quite scholarly, and when the folding fan in his hand is opened, there is a picture of a peach blossom beauty on it.
"......" The patriarch of the Yin family was silent, but his figure became blurred.
"Yin Patriarch, please." Dongfang Hou took a deep breath and took the first step towards the east.
This step will be the one that will determine life and death.
God of mercury, are you ready?
"Bring the few sons of the stars who haven't died well, I'm afraid they have atmospheric luck on them, so that they can not die under the blow of that evil god." Xihou looked at the six people who were frozen in the ice with blazing eyes, and now even the slightest chance of victory cannot be missed.
After all, they were facing the legendary gods.
In the end, the team that defeated the god of mercury consisted of a total of twenty people.
Hou Tianluo Ming in the East, Hou Tianluo Saint in the West, Hou Tianluo Prison in the South, the patriarchs of the four major families, and the seven supreme masters of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom, plus the six sons of the stars who have atmospheric luck on their bodies.
This is the ultimate trump card of the Heavenly Luo Holy Kingdom, the blade used to give the god of mercury that has consumed most of its power a fatal blow.
And their strategy was actually very simple from the beginning, because among them, there was a patriarch who possessed a supreme supernatural power that had only appeared twice in the thousand-year history of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom—Qing Ming, a true supernatural power that had reached the supreme realm.
The person who possessed this magical power was the patriarch of the Assassin family among the four major families. With this magical ability, he has never encountered any danger, and he can always win a blow and then escape.
As long as this supreme supernatural power is where the awakened person has been, he can leave a mark of the green underworld, and then turn into the light of the green underworld and shuttle to the marked place.
When this supernatural power is activated, the user of the supernatural power will completely disappear into the normal world realm, entering a strange state called "Qing Ming", and can also bring the people and things he comes into contact with into the light of the Qing Nether.
This is also the reason why he was able to escape the terrifying blow of the Ice Phoenix Feather, and even rescued Xuanyuan Jianying and them.
However, the power of the bloodline required for such an anti-heaven supernatural power was naturally beyond imagination, even if the Yin family patriarch was already the highest-level great supernatural power of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom, he could only use this supernatural power three times a day.
In order to witness that the god of mercury had indeed used her terrifying divine power, the first Qing Ying had already been used. Now, it's the time for the second time for the Blue Soul to show its power.
A strange wisp of green qi emanated from the body of the Yin family patriarch, and then enveloped the entire team that was crusading against the evil god of mercury, and finally turned into a strange rune that exploded in the void.
Xuanyuan Jianying, who was touched by this rune, Qingqiu September and they all woke up from the frozen state, but before they could react, the light of the green underworld had already been activated.
In the next moment, everyone disappeared into the secret hall of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom, turning into a blue light that crossed the sky of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom and penetrated the sky, flying in the direction of the Mercury Islands.
…………
At this time, Mei Xue was standing in the middle of the ice-covered world, looking at the place where Qingqiu disappeared in September.
There were no footprints around, and no traces of life could be felt
