Chapter 348: Impact
The crystal clear river of Elidanus, a shack area on the south bank, was led by three converted priests, and zealous believers kneaded earth into bricks and built simple altars. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The altar is divided into three levels and is located in the heart of the slave camp. The top floor was empty, and the elder priest found a rock by the river, and carried it on the altar himself, surrounded by white muslin.
The hard rock, in the priest's hand, was like a soft dough, stretching and stretching at will until it matched his impression, and his appearance and posture were Lu Bin's appearance.
When the icon was ready, the priest lifted the gauze and came out, holding a scepter in his hand and making his voice louder, telling the devotees the teachings of the gods.
When he found that the altar on the south bank was gradually guided by faith to the light of the soul, pure milky white, and gathered into a group of each other.
He immediately reached in, stirred the scattered brilliance into a whirlpool of faith, and guided the stone statue to be injected, so that the ordinary material of the rock was soaked with pure holy power and transformed into a real holy icon.
In the eyes of the believers, the altar surrounded by gauze suddenly revealed a holy light, not as dazzling as the sun's rays, but they were moved to tears.
At the end of the ceremony, the elder priest, with the help of his two companions, removed the three veil walls and revealed the icon to everyone.
The marble of ordinary material, due to the infiltration of holy power, fades away excess impurities and transforms into mutton fat-like jade, which flows with a pearl-like luster on the surface under the sunlight.
Lu Bin heard the exclamations one after another, and saw hundreds of shallow threads of faith transferred from the three priests to the icon, and immediately understood that the plan was progressing smoothly.
At the same time, his eyes pierced through the invisible barrier and saw the dark and lightless underworld, the territory he had named the Land of Redemption, and after the ritual, it was shrouded in light falling from the sky.
Rock pillars of hugging the thickness of the earth rise from the ground, carrying on to the glorious dome, transforming into a magnificent temple that constantly changes the surrounding terrain.
Accumulate meritorious deeds and accept the dark clothes given by Lu Bin, and transform into an armored soul, bathed in the glory of holiness, and transform into a real god of the underworld. As for the three giants, the two-headed wyvern Sisyphus, the bird of paradise Orpheus, and the griffon Tantalus, they have their own palaces and become the high-ranking gods of the underworld.
The Land of Redemption became the Paradise of the Underworld after Elicia, and although it maintained its independent status, it recognized the authority of Hades, the king of Hades.
In exchange, Sisyphus, Orpheus, and Tantalus took over the judgment of the souls of the dead, and with absolute justice, they overthrew the three judges of the underworld, tearing their thrones, dividing their powers, and banishing them to the realm of bliss.
The forces of the underworld, who were originally going to watch the show, found that the two giants not only did not go to war, but tacitly cooperated, and immediately had the idea that something bad was wrong.
The nocturnal faction led by Hypnos could no longer maintain their transcendent status and took the initiative to migrate to Ilisia, where they preferred to serve the ancient Hades king Hades rather than the newborn land of redemption.
With the god of sleep taking the lead, other small forces have also chosen sides, most of them have integrated into the realm of bliss, and the forces related to the ancient titans have been persuaded by hellhounds and other underworld beasts to join the land of redemption.
The turmoil in the underworld gradually settled, and the situation of the two powers not only did not divide Hades's underworld, but increased his power greatly, thus acquiescing to the rise of the land of redemption and completely expelling the pawns planted by the Great Eagle.
As for the deepest part of the underworld, Tartarus, guarded by three hundred-armed giants, can still maintain relative independence due to the particularity of the prison of the gods.
But the sound of the heartbeat coming from inside Tartarus, the key that sealed the door, and the dimmering light of Pandora's Box all gave the three hundred-armed giants a headache.
The ancient Titan received the blood of Hephaestus, the god of fire and craftsmen, and his cold heart gradually activated, slowly recovering to life, and frequent earthquakes were heard from his majestic body, and the cracks in the permafrost glacier grew larger and larger.
The messenger of the gods, at the will of the Great Eagle, prepared to enter the underworld to investigate, and suddenly found that his underworld power had been completely stripped away, but it was not transferred to Hades, the king of Hades, all of which made him feel incredible.
Unfortunately, this happened like this, and without the will of the messengers of the gods, he could only return to the holy mountain in anger. It didn't take long for the gods to know about the turmoil in the underworld, and the mighty Hades pulled out the nails that were in the way of the eyes, and mastered the underworld once and for all.
The ambitious Earth Shaker, who is extremely eager for this, can only rule the inshore sea and the islands, the vortex deep ocean, occupied by the ancient god of the sea, and if it were not for a long-planned marriage to Amphitrite, the daughter of the god of the sea, Poseidon's position would not be so secure.
Due to Hades's movements, the triumvirate of the gods of the sacred mountain has their own thoughts, and the other gods have their own plans, even Apollo, the long-range shooter, once coveted the authority of the great eagle and longed for the throne at the peak of the sacred mountain.
He is a brother and sister to Artemis, the god of hunting and the moon, and because of their blood connection, he is in charge of the cycle of the sun and the moon, which is a big mountain for the twin gods.
It's a pity that in the light realm of the long-range shooter Apollo, his father also interfered everywhere, arranging for the second-generation Titan Dawn Goddess Eos to take away the Dawn priesthood, making the cycle of the sun and the moon not perfect, not to mention the installation of the rainbow goddess Aerys to monitor nearby.
The battle between Ares, the god of war, and Athena, the goddess of wisdom, in the field of battle and war, is a game that the gods of the Holy Mountain never tire of. With the support of the Great Eagle, the goddess of wisdom bullied the god of war enough in the field she was good at.
Lu Bin was well aware of the contradictory situation between the gods of the Holy Mountain, and by entering the underworld, he intentionally or unintentionally assisted Hades, the king of Hades, to centralize power, which triggered a chain reaction and intensified the internal struggle of the gods of the Holy Mountain.
It's a pity that the immortal covenant forged by the clay tablet of fate made the gods of the holy mountain maintain a tacit understanding of fighting without breaking, and it was not as Lu Bin expected, the army of the holy mountain went straight to the underworld, or the tidal army of the sea god, raising the flag to rebel and stand on its own.
"Instead of waiting for others to make mistakes, you should work hard yourself. It can be expected that under the general trend of world promotion, the authority of the Big Three will be lost in a short period of time. In order to compete for their position, the rift within the gods of the Holy Mountain will become larger in an instant. At that point, the situation will become even more chaotic when the Hellsterone Tartarus collapses, the giants who have escaped from their cages gather to fight on the Holy Mountain, and the Titans awaken to take back the world. The role I play in it should be that of the vanguard who rushes to the front, and after the wave of waves erupts, I retreat into the background and fulfill the responsibilities entrusted to me by the world as a world-class boss. ”
Lu Bin conceived a path ahead, and after laying the foundation for his rule in Riptide City, he turned his attention to the surrounding area. After investigation, it was learned that the vitality of Lisos City was greatly damaged, and it was actively attracting the Seven Cities Alliance, preparing to organize a coalition army to eradicate the enemy who broke the rules.
Due to the long distance, the long time for personnel to come and go, and the efficiency of the nobles' deliberations, there was no half a month to discuss any countermeasures.
So, Lu Bin led the Dragon's Tooth soldiers on a new journey, to Lake Orihead, to visit the founders of Cadmus and Harmonia, who lived in seclusion here and Thebais.
Legend has it that they turned into dragons and possessed immortality, but instead of entering the Holy Mountain, they lived on the earth and lived in seclusion in Illyria.
"The fate of Thebais has been bumpy! From the beginning, it has been controlled by the gods of the Holy Mountain, like the ill-fated Cadmus family. If you show a little disrespect, immediately the children of the Great Eagle will form a seven-nation alliance to attack the city. Whose fault is it that the once capital of a hundred gates is now ruined and ruined?"
In the face of Lu Bin's questioning, the two big snakes with their necks wrapped around their necks were silent, although they could all speak, the thorns buried in their hearts immediately caused severe pain, and Cadmus and Harmonia broke the rules of seclusion and showed their poisonous fangs to Lu Bin and others.
The heavily armed dragon tooth soldiers immediately formed a solid shield wall according to the battle formation taught by Lu Bin, resisting the crushing attack of the giant snake, and the spears that pierced out like lightning in the gaps pierced deep into the body of the snake covered with copper scales to the surprise of Cadmus.
"Open your eyes and take a closer look, brave Cadmus, the brave city builder, the warrior before you, the dragon's tooth soldier who I sowed the seed with my own hands. You established Theba with the Dragon's Tooth Soldiers, and now you will die at their hands. ”
The silent serpent finally opened its mouth, and Cadmus had gone through the vicissitudes of life, and despite his immortality, his mentality had grown old, and he no longer had the heart of a brave and good fighter. In the final analysis, he has enjoyed enough of the wealth of the world in the long years, the mellow wine flowing in his veins, and the stomach is full of delicious food.
In front of the dragontooth soldiers, who were not afraid of venom and biting attacks, Cadmus's tricks were quickly exhausted, and even if Lu Bin did not make a move, his physical strength was rapidly fading.
"There is no place for you in the Holy Mountain, honorable Cadmus, you can only fall into the underworld and suffer in the hands of Hades, but I will give you a choice. ”
The sword of Tritong summoned the yin wind of the underworld, and blew out the shining soul of the giant snake that broke its body and sent it directly into the dark and lightless underworld.
"Now it's your turn, Harmonia of the beautiful ankles. The illegitimate daughter of Ares, the raider of the city-state, and Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, you have the pure blood of the gods in your veins, but you have been wronged to become an ugly serpent. Bear with me, and I'll get you out. ”
Lu Bin's rescue was very simple, holding the sword of Tritong, he split the snake's head in half, and the juice foaming with blood flowed out and converged in a low-lying position.
The snake's blood continued to bubble as if it were boiling, and after it exploded, it diffused with a sweet smell. It didn't take long for a young girl wearing a precious necklace and a silk veil to cover her secret place slowly rose from the juice.
Lu Bin couldn't help but nod lightly: "The scene of the birth of the daughter of the wave bubble is indeed the best proof that you inherit the bloodline of the god of love and beauty." For now, give me the necklace of doom and the ominous silk veil, both artifacts. ”
Having lost the form of a giant serpent and reborn in the blood, Harmonia was overwhelmed when he saw the many sowers of Pastos, and without hesitation, stretched out their hands to ask for the gifts of the gods of the sacred mountain.
