Chapter 377: The Deity Behind the Statue
There are gods and spirits in the Tianxuan Continent, so there are so many cultivators, and what they want all their lives is nothing more than to become gods and live forever.
The vast majority of the gods and goddesses worshiped by the world are only shaped into strange images out of our thin imagination.
However they are not true, at least not all.
All appearances are vain.
Even after Ye Changsheng cultivated to the second meritorious phase, he could have countless transformations, not to mention the great virtuous monk of the fourth meritorious phase?
Not to mention the gods on high?
The images of the gods we create are either mysterious, majestic, or bizarre, but they are only meant to guide the converts of believers.
The same is true of the Shura King enshrined by the Shura Gate, in order to emphasize his strength, he was molded into three heads and six arms, and in order to show his ferocity, he subdued the nine-headed monster, and in order to increase the sense of belonging of believers, so he has the same body shape and appearance as a human.
It's obviously fake, but over time, the fake becomes true.
The founder of the Shura Gate, who regarded himself as the reincarnation of the Shura King, was known as the son of God, and had been passed down for six generations of Shura Kings before he was destroyed by the Wuji Demon Venerable.
Six generations of believers, thousands of years of worship, how powerful is the power of faith gathered from this?
This powerful power of faith is enough to infuse the golden statue with a hint of divinity.
Or, in other words, the Shura King of the Divine Realm, noticed this powerful power of faith, and under the sympathy of heaven and man, he responded with a hint of response.
This glimmer of response is divinity.
Divinity, as the name suggests, is an attribute that only God has, it can be a spiritual force or a realistic force.
There is no doubt about the power of divinity, because behind the divinity is a true deity.
Even if it was just the weakest deity, even if it was just a trace of divinity, it was enough to crush all the forces of the secular continent.
Ye Changsheng and Wu Lie only hoped that their induction was wrong, otherwise......
A mysterious and dark temple that falls into an eerie dead silence.
The eleven explorers did not dare to act rashly, and the black fog rolling around them also hesitated, and in the silence, a great danger was brewing.
Divinity is a recognition of believers, and it is also a powerful protection for believers, and the Infinite Demon Venerable can ignore the power of divinity, but they cannot.
They don't have the strength, they don't have the wisdom.
"Buzz!"
The air fluctuated, and the figure of a beautiful man slowly emerged.
Call!
The black mist surging in the hall rolled backwards at the same time, and the terrified cries of evil spirits rose one after another.
Wu Lie and the Demon Bell bowed at the same time: "I've seen the Dharma Protector!"
Divine Sword Danqing nodded slightly, and his calm gaze fell on the golden statue behind the altar, and his eyes gradually became hot.
In the stunned gaze of everyone, Divine Sword Danqing opened his hands, his wide sleeves hung down, and step by step, he walked towards the altar.
"Boom!"
The main hall trembled slightly, Ye Changsheng's brain roared, his soul tingled, and he almost fainted directly.
Dan Qing stopped suddenly, looked up at the golden statue in the dark, and said loudly: "My Demon Sect is orthodox, with hundreds of millions of believers, you can accept our offerings!"
As soon as these words came out, Wu Lie and the others were shocked, but Ye Changsheng was moved in his heart and vaguely guessed something.
With the power of the Second Ancestor Wuji Demon Venerable, even if he couldn't erase this trace of divinity, it was not difficult to break this golden statue and make that trace of divinity lose its sustenance.
However, the Infinite Demon Venerable did not do this, but kept the golden statue, retaining this trace of divinity.
Then there is only one reason, the Infinite Demon Venerable wants to introduce this trace of divinity into the orthodoxy of the Demon Sect.
The Shura Gate, originally a sect derived from the Demon Gate, is it not normal to return to the Demon Gate?
For the Demon Sect, it is nothing more than to make room for the King of Shura with the golden statue among the many gods enshrined in the main altar.
In the long history of the Tianxuan Continent, similar events have been happening.
The totem worship tribe conquers another totem worship tribe and incorporates that part of the totem into its own totem.
Mergers and acquisitions were continuous, and finally there was an omnipotent dragon with a hump head, antlers, fish scales, and eagle claws.
Today's Demon Sect and even the Demon Sect have also experienced countless fusions and mergers to get to where they are today.
Ye Changsheng guessed that the second ancestor did not directly bring the golden statue back to the main altar back then, probably because he wanted to dry the golden statue for a while.
This is more than 2,000 years.
The hall was silent, Dan Qing straightened his body, raised his eyebrows, and said coldly: "Even if you kill us, can you kill all our hundreds of millions of believers, after a thousand years, my Demon Gate will have another transcendent and holy Wuji Demon Venerable, how can you deal with yourself?!"
If it was a request just now, then now it's Chiguoguo's intimidation.
The people of the magic bell looked at the back of the Dharma Protector, their eyes were full of worship and awe, and the mountains looked up.
The Dharma Protector is not negotiating with the golden statue, but with the gods behind the statue.
A mortal who has the courage to negotiate with a god!
Only Ye Changsheng knew that what Danqing was doing at the moment was nothing more than what the second ancestor did back then but left for future generations to do.
Just as he was thinking wildly, suddenly, a distant voice echoed in his mind: "Come forward!"
Ye Changsheng was terrified, or he had an illusion, he clearly saw the golden statue in front of him, and it flickered, revealing a pair of unfathomable eyes!
The ghost made the gods worse, Ye Changsheng's eyes were empty, he took steps, and walked forward step by step.
The magic bell was shocked, and was about to stop Ye Changsheng, but was severely stopped by the Dharma Protector.
Under the shocked and nervous gaze of everyone, Ye Changsheng walked straight to the altar and stopped.
His gaze became clear, he looked up at the golden statue in the darkness, and lowered his head and said, "Your Excellency King Shura, I'm here!"
"I'm not a Shura King, but I need the power of faith," a mysterious and distant voice echoed in Ye Changsheng's mind again, "You are his heir, I need a promise." ”
Ye Changsheng forced himself to calm down, turned to look at Danqing: "He needs a promise." ”
Danqing was excited, touched his heart with his hand, and said proudly: "Disciple Danqing, swear in the name of the demon gods and demon ancestors of the past dynasties, among the gods enshrined in the main altar of the Demon Sect, there will be a place for you!"
In the world of faith, the more pious and determined people are, the more they cannot swear casually.
Once the oath is taken, it means that the soul contract must be kept with life, and if the oath is broken, it will be punished with the severest punishment.
This punishment can be either a curse from the outside world or a backlash from oneself.
When Master Juetong of Cifu Temple tried Ye Changsheng, he was broken by Ye Changsheng, which is the same reason.
Danqing's solemn echo disappeared, and the hall fell into dead silence again.
In Ye Changsheng's mind, the voice echoed again: "Young Terran, you are wrong, what I need is your promise!"
