497 Divine War
Ye Hao followed the great priest half a step behind, his blood was boiling and his heart was surging when he heard these words, and he couldn't help but think of the days when he fled on Seven Star Island, and remembered the scene of the battle between Quicksand City and the demon army, his hands under his sleeves clenched hard, and his nails were deeply embedded in the flesh.
The Grand Priest walked without hurry.
"There's something I didn't want to do to you, or, now is not the time. ”
Ye Hao hurriedly said: "If there is any inconvenience, you still don't want it, students are strong in everything, but they are not very curious." ”
The great priest glanced at Ye Hao with a smile: "Cunning, since I left you alone, I am ready to tell you." With your cleverness, you won't be able to guess it? Playing tricks with the great priest is a humiliation. ”
Ye Hao smiled and said yes again and again.
The Great Priest stopped, looked at Ye Hao and said, "A month ago, ten of us old guys received oracles from the gods of the domain at the same time. ”
Ye Hao's heart trembled slightly, and his expression became solemn.
What the oracle is, everyone in the whole continent knows, it is the will of the gods, the instructions of the gods, representing the supreme majesty that can only be obeyed and irresistible.
"The oracle came from the eight god kings, and they sent the same instructions, that is, to start a divine war, to send a divine envoy to descend, to completely expel and kill the demons from this continent! ”
After the demon invasion of the Firmament Continent, the war on this land continued, and all the races suffered from it, the great wars that have occurred in the past tens of millions of years have been countless, and the dead bones are piled up together and are afraid that they are several times higher than Yunzhong Mountain, and every time the battle temple will send a large number of cultivators and priests to fight, with a variety of life-saving and supportive magic techniques to save one fresh life after another, which finally balances the strength of the two races, and also wins the respect of the people.
However, the demon race is also as proficient as a cloud, and under the protection of the Sanctuary and the Seven Great Demon Lords, even if the temple and the major cultivation sects pour out, it is impossible for the human race to completely wipe out the demon race.
Thousands of years of war have confirmed a truth - in order to completely defeat the demons, there must be a powerful external force to help mankind, and this expectation falls on the gods.
God Wars.
Everyone is looking forward to the God War.
The gods who are all looking forward to it can come and bring all the races on the continent to give the demons a fatal blow.
But except for the record in the ancient books, human beings have never seen the shadow of the divine envoy descending to the earth, let alone the domain divine soldier who can reflect the entire void in gold.
Ye Hao's heart could no longer remain calm.
His hatred for the demons has reached the point of no return.
Sometimes I dream of being able to lead a million iron horsemen to level the snowy region and avenge the dead master and sister and the innocent residents of the island.
Qiu He will not lie.
He was a great priest, and he would never dare to joke with the oracle of the domain.
But this oracle is too amazing after all, because it is too unbelievable, too incredible, Ye Hao opened his mouth in shock, and thousands of thoughts flashed in his mind for a while, and the whole person seemed to be stupid.
Ye Hao's reaction Qiu He didn't feel strange at all.
Then the ten of them greeted the oracle at the top of the mountain in Yunzhong, and when they got the word 'divine war', the shock in everyone's hearts was not much less than Ye Hao.
"And then?"
The shock on Ye Hao's face gradually subsided, and his emotions quickly calmed down, he knew that Qiu He must have his deep meaning to himself, so he was not in a hurry to bring out the doubts in his heart.
The Grand Priest's eyes once again showed a look of appreciation.
"Similar oracles have been received by the temple several times in the past, but the opinions of the eight god kings are not unanimous, so there is no perfect result in each war, but this time is different, although the instructions of the gods do not mention the specific time of the god war, but let the temple start preparing for the god war from now on. We are ten priests, each performing its own duties, each responsible for one side, I am good at imperial costume techniques, I just thought of creating an invincible imperial costume army for this war, so I wanted to choose a suitable disciple among the imperial costume masters in the temple, I didn't expect to meet you. ”
Ye Hao listened quietly, and it was only now that he understood the real reason why the great priest who had never accepted disciples in his life wanted to recruit disciples to pass on the truth.
Temple priests are different from ordinary cultivators.
Some of them have more or less cultivated talents, and some have even entered the ranks of grandmaster-level powerhouses above the Five Realms, but most of the priests are ordinary people with mediocre qualifications.
The criteria for the selection of priests by the gods are beyond the comprehension of mortals. But one thing is certain, and that is that devotion to the gods must come first.
This devout belief led them to the point of obsession and madness, allowing them to sacrifice their bodies and souls for the gods without hesitation, and to use the words of some blasphemers, the most faithful slaves of the gods.
Divine power can make the priest become admired by thousands of people overnight, and the secular money status does not mean much to them, because as long as they sincerely believe in the gods, they may obtain higher divine blood and titles, and then money, power, and beauties will be summoned immediately, and there is no need to fight, rob, or even fight with others.
The status of the great priest is incomparably the most expensive, and at this level, there are very few things in the world that can impress them, even if Qiu He is a saint emperor costume master, he will confiscate apprentices for the rest of his life, and it is impossible to make an exception to recruit disciples for the sake of inheritance or fame and fortune.
The only thing that could make him lower his head and look at the beings would only have to do with serving the gods.
The oracle.
Recruiting disciples and building an imperial army to ensure the victory of the divine war is the real reason why Qiu He recruited disciples.
After a big turn, in the end he was still working for the gods.
After thinking about this, Ye Hao sighed in his heart, and he was a little envious of the gods for no reason.
The great priest continued: "A hundred years ago, the machine gate was destroyed in the holy war, at that time I was just a junior priest obsessed with imperial costume techniques, because I had accepted the guidance of the master of the machine gate, I did not participate in the war, although afterwards I also felt that the Pope and Emperor Xia did a little excessive, but people speak lightly, no matter how much dissatisfaction can only be put in the heart. ”
"After I became the Great Priest, I made some efforts to stop the temple's hostility to the machine gate, and finally got Great Xia to abolish the 'reverse kill order' against the disciples of the machine gate. ”
While speaking, the high priest stopped in front of the door of a room with a closed door, and pushed the door open, and the door was pitch black, and on a rotating round table in the middle was densely packed with hundreds of unlit candles.
"Familiar?"
Qiu He turned his head and glanced at Ye Hao.
Ye Hao hesitated, but still nodded, when he was on Seven Star Island, Senior Sister had locked him in a dark room since he was one year old, and there was the same table in the room, and the table was full of candles.
