Chapter 8: The Past
"I'm the only one who ended this, and now you let me fight him with something. Qi Lan roared, "From the moment you release his power, can't you imagine the future world! Now you are still here pretending to help us fight against the Alien Demon King, the seal here, the overwhelming alien demons outside, Qing Yao's soul, the Dark Emperor and the Seven Souls, which one is not from your hand!"
"That's enough," Emperor Yan's expression also began to become unkind, "Do you think I want to! What are you doing when I am trying my best to find opportunities for mankind! I have lost my family, my lover, my country, and my brother who has followed me! Just because, my mission! What I am doing, what I should do! It all belongs to me! It belongs to me! It belongs to my destiny!"
"In the same way, you are beyond the ability of ordinary people, just for one person, to be a shrinking turtle in the past ten years. Keep saying that for the sake of mankind and the future of the nation, what have you and your team done now! Relying on your strength, you are unique on the mainland. Can't you tell the difference between strength and responsibility? Why is it that in the nearly 1,000-year history of mankind, you are the only one who has broken through the limitations of the Three Realms, and is it really that God was blind when he observed the Nether? If you don't help me, it doesn't matter, I'll carry it. But why are you still waving the flag for my enemies while I am working hard!"
"What do you say, what do you mean" Qi Lan was scolded by dog blood. However, it was not clear what Emperor Yan was talking about.
"In the years of my reign, Cheng Yuan raised troops to rebel, and the five sects helped, you obviously have the ability to stop such a catastrophe, why don't you stop it. If the Five Sects had not participated in the rebellion, how could they have been involved in so many things. Sadness and grief are just excuses that you incompetent people talk about all day long! How can you not judge that the plan to exterminate the Five Sects is not so simple, I'm afraid you already know that the mastermind behind this is me. Anger, hatred, indifferent looks, schadenfreude! A hero, don't think about the world, and a turbulent dynasty, how can you be a hero!"
Emperor Yan suddenly burst out three times in a row, and Qi Lan, who was scolded, was one head and two big. Just thinking about what happened and how to reply, Emperor Yan sorted out his emotions a little and quickly calmed down. The flushed complexion faded, and he looked calm and wise when he calmed down again. Taking a deep breath and interrupting Qi Lan's words, Emperor Yan continued, "Back then, I had just ascended to the throne, accepted the inheritance, and ascended to the top of the Tower of Babel to read the Secret Book of Creation. Only then did I know that there was something that had always existed on the continent and been guarded by the only dynasty for generations, a magic weapon that was enough to destroy the continent. ”
"What is it" Qing Yao couldn't wait to ask, she likes to hear this kind of story the most, and she is very involved in no matter what kind of story.
"It is recorded in the Secret Book of Creation that the sealing spirit array that sealed the Alien Demon King's divine consciousness. ”
Emperor Yan continued: "During the reign of my father, the last generation of King Ji, did nothing, and the seal was on the verge of being broken after the catalysis of time. I've been searching for ways to re-enforce the seal, but there's never been a suitable way. At that time, the world was in turmoil, dangers were emerging in various places, and there were sects dissatisfied with the rule of the dynasty waiting for an opportunity to find us trouble. I can only govern the country while suppressing the rebellious party while maintaining the safety of the seal. “
"What a seal, the seal is in the Tianshan Mountain, where did the seal of the palace come from. Qi Lan was a little angry when he was scolded, and he squeezed Emperor Yan in words.
"The capital of the Tiandu Dynasty, that is, the palace of the previous dynasties, the place where the secret code suppressed, is the place where the Alien Demon King was born, and the place where the alien energy is most likely to gather. This place seals the Alien King's divine sense.
"What, the national capital! The Alien Demon King's divine consciousness has been sealed in the Tower of Babel!" Qi Lan exclaimed.
"Otherwise, why do you think the Mystical Archive is stored in the palace? Emperor Yan glanced at Qi Lan tepidly.
"Oh, that's it, I thought you guys should be good-looking" Qi Lan naturally knew about this, and deliberately said something unpleasant.
"So you always say that the last time you snuck into the palace, you felt something was wrong with the first floor of Babel. Qing Yao suddenly said, "That place is the place where the Alien Demon King's divine sense is sealed. 、”
"Yes," Emperor Yan nodded, "The exit from the second floor is not for theft at all. Located in the heart of the palace, the thief ate the bear's heart and the leopard dared to steal. The first layer is a sealed singularity, and the core is the Creation Secret Codex. As he spoke, he glanced at Qi Lan intentionally or unintentionally.
"Then, then I'll take it away, isn't it ......" Qi Lan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, and he no longer had the heart to quarrel with Emperor Yan. At the heart of the seal is the Creation Codex, but the Codex is now in his hands. That's the hinterland of mankind, and once the alien demon king appears, it will be an unprecedented disaster, and there will be no day for humanity to turn over.
"Don't care," Emperor Yan didn't seem to be worried, "The seal in the seven-story tower is the Divine Consciousness of the Alien Demon King, and now it's gone, and that seal has no effect, so take it, maybe it can come in handy here." ”
"Okay, that's fine. Qi Lan breathed a sigh of relief, if the last straw that destroyed the human race was thrown by himself, it would be embarrassing.
"And then, aren't you maintaining the seal, and how can you release him? Qing Yao asked.
Emperor Yan sighed lightly, "Actually, I was helpless, at that time, I was busy looking for a way to strengthen the seal, and summoned the artistic conception warriors of the dynasty to use external energy to maintain the seal at all times." In the West, Cheng Yuan's soldiers rebelled, and I couldn't leave, so I could only think about the seal while commanding the war a little. Originally, I thought that the opponent was weak and the Imperial army could easily deal with it. But ......"
"You failed?" Qing Yao was always inexplicably interested in this kind of thing.
"No," Emperor Yan said proudly, "Although the dynasty is rotten, the army is definitely an elite, both in quantity and quality, far surpassing those rabble, and we have won battles and victories." Until ......" Emperor Yan said this, squinting his eyes and scanning Qi Lan. Qi Lan naturally knew what he wanted to say, and avoided Emperor Yan's gaze as if he was nothing.
"Until the five sects went all out to participate in the war, they were completely on Cheng Yuan's side and attacked us aggressively. The Imperial Army, which could have held off the rebels, was routed under the attack of high-ranking warriors, and in just two days, the barrier in the middle of our empire was completely lost. In two days, their vanguard had already arrived twenty miles away from our Jicheng. “
"It's so fast, it's too miserable, what about your martial artists?" Although it was not explained, Qing Yao could still understand Emperor Yan's mood at that time, when he was focused on protecting the world, someone was fighting and setting fire in the backyard, how much concentration did it take to endure it.
"Of course there are high-level martial artists, if the empire's national strength is all involved in the war, even if the five sects join forces, they may not be afraid. However, the artistic conception warriors are all outside the Tower of Babel, carefully maintaining the seal. Because the situation of the seal is not optimistic, I really dare not draw out the warriors to go to the front line to fight. ”
"Let's get to the point, it feels like this is where the storyline shifts. Qi Lan said, he really didn't want to be swept left and right by Emperor Yan.
As soon as he spoke, Emperor Yan really glanced at him again, "The strength of that vanguard team is indeed very strong, and the leader is also a good tactician." He broke up the original system, broke up the whole and infiltrated into the imperial city, and wantonly caused chaos in the imperial city. And that leader sneaked into the palace. “
"What is he doing in the palace, he still wants to assassinate the emperor. Qing Yao wondered.
"It's impossible to assassinate me, but he has his plan to disrupt my interior when Cheng Yuan's army launches a general attack. Emperor Yan said viciously, obviously, this person is the key person who triggered the follow-up factors.
"Didn't they come to the Imperial City, then what did he do in the Imperial Palace?" Qing Yao said while recalling, and suddenly she remembered something, and her beautiful big eyes widened, "Could it be ......?"
Qi Lan also had a chill coming out of the tail vertebrae, "Cheng Tie!"
Emperor Yan's ability to not change his face seemed to have been exhausted, and his pale face was gloomy, "Yes, he sneaked into the palace and found that there seemed to be something going on inside the palace. All the guards basically gathered in one direction, and even the strong ones with artistic conception never appeared. Driven by curiosity, he followed our trajectory and groped for the past. Because the artistic warriors in the palace were either by my side or fighting on the front line, this guy just touched the surroundings of the Tower of Babel without anyone noticing. “
"He found me coming in and out of it, and there were countless warriors, and the Imperial Forest Army was surrounding here, thinking that we had an ulterior secret inside, and tried desperately to stop us. ”
"It's stupid. Qing Yao snorted, if it weren't for Cheng Tie, where would there be so many things.
"No, it's human nature, and as an opponent, you must not let your enemy do what he wants. Qi Lan excused.
"Yes, of course there is no problem with the stance, but from my side, it has ruined our final plan" Emperor Yan snorted coldly.
"Wait a minute," Qi Lan said, "Brother Tai is joking, no matter how awesome Cheng Tie is, it is an artistic conception, at best, it is a peak artistic conception." You have so many masters and you can't stop him?"
Emperor Yan glanced at Qi Lan again and said, "Our warrior spotted him before he arrived, and when we tried to catch him, he rushed up like crazy and prepared to blow himself up. ”
"What!" Qing Yao exclaimed.
"Yes, the most powerful power of a martial artist broke through all of his meridians and burst out the internal force in the dantian at one time. Before the power is exhausted, the body is completely destroyed by uncontrollable forces. ”
"And what happened?
"Of course, otherwise what are we doing now?" Emperor Yan spread his hands, "His strength did skyrocket, but our warriors also tried their best to intercept him, and finally succeeded in stopping him outside the Tower of Babel." ”
