Episode 23 (Epilogue) Chapter 1
On the 17th day of March in the year 569 of the Altino calendar, Reins' reign
The outbreak of the final battle drew people's attention to Kunlun Mountain, however, after the undead tree ability was officially activated, the overall scope of influence was not only Kunlun Mountain, but also the entire Wind Continent.
Manipulating people's souls and wills is the effect of Yinzhen's full strength, but after the ability to manipulate people's hearts is realized, some unexpected changes also occur quickly. In terms of results, Yinzhen underestimated the ripples of the influence of "manipulating the hearts of the world", and the immortal tree undoubtedly had powerful abilities, but in the final analysis, Yinzhen did not understand every function and secret of this creation artifact, and only used one of the functions simply according to his own wishes.
The world, which lies between the human eye and the senses, is a balanced and subtle being, balanced by the interconnectedness of countless things, and then operating on this law. Under ordinary shocks, these laws will rebalance and heal the damage caused by water, fire, earth, and wind, but when the impact is too strong and the balance is completely broken, the collapse of the whole world will begin to occur.
Since the reappearance of the Heavenly Rank power that has been sealed for thousands of years, the energy balance of the Wind Continent has been constantly impacted, and every battle of the Heavenly Rank Martial Artists has done their best to fight with their own lives, and the relative impact is that the energy of the entire space has repeatedly impacted. The small heaven position, the strong heaven position, and the fast heaven position, as the warriors rapidly improved their cultivation, the scale of the energy impact expanded again and again, making the natural energy that had been operating in a balanced manner disordered.
If only in this way, the destruction will come so quickly, after all, the formation of a world, the process is both deep and vast, but also able to tolerate great destruction and impact, the energy below the heavenly level will be shaken, and the damage will be obvious at once, however, the damage that all kinds of living beings can cause is far more than the original intention of the creator.
The Tongtian Cannon and the Yuan Shi Cannon, these two weapons known as the world-destroying weapons, do have the power to destroy. Beyond the destruction that living beings can cause, beyond the lethality that this space can bear, every bombardment, in addition to the loss of a huge amount of life, has indeed caused harm to this world...... A wound that will never heal.
It's not that no one is alert to this consequence, Zhou Gongjin and Bai Qi have both made efforts for this, but perhaps the nature of struggle and killing exists in the primitive instinct of every species in the Wind Continent, and the energy balance of heaven and earth, which was once repaired, was still torn apart in the end, and it was crazy and out of control towards the road of destruction.
The ability of the undead tree connects to the four major vitality caves, causing a fierce resonance of every corner and every natural element on the Continent of Wind;
The first sign of destruction is the sky.
Soon after noon, the sky was bright and white, the sun was shining in the sky, emitting dazzling light and heat, but the scene of the scorching sun was changing in an instant, and there were dense dark clouds, and there was no pouring rain, and the "darkness" seemed to be surging like life, swallowing up the red sun at once, making the earth dull, and the cold wind was blowing wildly, whirring, as if it was about to blow all the buildings on the ground.
The sky and below are completely dark, in the darkness, there are faint blue and purple points of light shining, magnificent phantom light, but because of the howling wind and weird, it is the radio waves emitted by the ability of the dead tree, the embodiment of the energy is too strong, every flash, affects the people on the ground.
Reins, the Free Cities Alliance, Altinor, and even the depths of the barren mountains of Wulian, looking up, will see the same blue and purple sky, but not many people can clearly look up at this scene, most of the people are in the moment of purple and green light, their eyes suddenly lose their light, the whole person shakes in despair, and the movements are getting slower and slower, and then they maintain this posture, as if they can't move like a clay wood sculpture.
Regardless of human beings, without distinction between orcs, across all races, as long as all living beings who can think and have souls, they are affected, and return to the blank state when the gods of creation created all living beings and are about to readjust the spirit of living beings.
Only a very small number of people who have carried out a special spiritual forging chain can still stubbornly resist the brainwashing effect of a dead tree, but to fight against the entire heaven and earth energy with a mere manpower, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream. As time passed, more and more people who tried to resist maintained a contemplative posture of sitting cross-legged, their eyes lost their brilliance, and the whole person froze like a stone statue.
Immediately afterward, after the day of the Heavenly Void, the changes on the ground also tended to be obvious. The earth shakes, the earth and rocks crack, the water dries up, and then the thick vapor is evaporated, and the high heat from the ground evaporates the water source, and when the underground energy is repeatedly rushed to an unbearable degree, magma replaces the vapor, and sprays out in every fragile place of the earth's crust, and ignites when it touches, swallowing all the living things on the surrounding hills, turning them into fire and dust.
Similar scenes, in these years of heavenly battles, often become the background that accompanies the battle, the civilians of the Wind Continent are used to seeing and fleeing, only this time they don't have to flee, they don't panic, they don't have the ability to think, they don't know what fear is, so when their whole limbs start to petrify from the end, they don't feel very frightened.
Fear is the exclusive privilege of those who still maintain a line of sobriety!
Looking at the entire Wind Continent, there are not many people who can maintain their sobriety, but in the capital of Reins, there are still some such people. Almost all of them are warlocks of the Magic Guild, and they are responsible for staying behind in the final battle towel this time, and they can still retain a trace of consciousness due to their hard spiritual forging on weekdays, but even so, under the increasingly strong ecstasy of the next tree, the pressure they are under is more than their own ability, and the colleagues around them gradually lose their consciousness, and then quickly turn into stone statues.
In the eyes of those who are still awake, this fate is only miserable, and even the king is terrible and terrifying, which makes them question whether it is a blessing or a curse to maintain their sobriety at such a time. From these phenomena, it seems that the final battle of the expedition to Kunlun Mountain will have a result that is no longer known.
“...... God...... O god of Reyns...... Is this the fate of my people of Reins, and is it your great will to let the humans be wiped out and the demons rule the land......"
The old magician's hoarse and painful screams contained most of the unwillingness and helplessness, not like sighing, but like accusations and questions, but he had never really witnessed miracles in his life, but he was screaming, and the moment before he was about to turn into stone, he got an answer from the gods.
The answer of the gods was dark and unclear, and the old magician only saw a figure in his dim eyes, stepping leisurely from the half-ruined city gate in this moment of destruction when the heavens and the earth were shattering.
The posture of walking, like a leisurely stroll, is not slow, but the speed of the feet is extremely fast, obviously at the beginning is still far away, but in the blink of an eye, it has already stepped into the city of Jixia, approaching the center of the city at high speed; while the empty sleeves are fluttering in the wind, the end of the long sword at the waist is tied to the bell, and the whole person exudes a depressive temperament, with the appearance of this man, the heavy atmosphere around him has become more rigid, and the old magician even feels that he has opened his eyes.
“...... Pavilion, who is Your Excellency......
The old magician asked with difficulty, but the answer came so slowly that he closed his eyes with regret. In fact, the other party had no intention of answering, because after that question, the old magician had turned into a walking image, unconscious, and without the breath of life.
"How did it ...... to do this?"
The visitor from afar let out such an exclamation, and the scene in front of him undoubtedly stimulated him, so that he who had rushed here from Wulian thousands of miles was able to drive away a little tiredness and continue to walk straight towards the ruins of the Ivory White Tower.
"It's too late, this is really an ironic life, and I actually feel the feeling of Wang Wu......"
On the day of the Battle of Jerusalem, Wang Wu struggled for a long time in martial arts, and finally couldn't restrain himself, broke his original intention, and rushed to Evil Lu Salem to rescue Wang You's army, if it wasn't for the consumption of too much vitality along the way, then the outcome of the Battle of Evil Lu Salem would inevitably be rewritten, but what he cared about at this moment was that he was doing what Wang Wu had done.
It did come too late. Those who have died should continue to stay in the grave, and do not need and should not return to the world, and since they are going to return in the end, they should not delay what should be decided on the spot, so as to delay the opportunity to face a doomed endgame.
It's just that it's easier said than done......
If it weren't for the fact that the Immortal Tree had gone too far, and his body and mind had already been buried in the tomb, he would not have come out to interfere with this battle between humans and demons. After all, no matter which side of the human race or the demon race wins, it doesn't matter who rules the human realm......
"But why do you want to do this? Isn't the one you hope for in the Immortal Tree to rule this world, why do you want to destroy this world?"
sighed question, but the object that could be answered was in Kunlun Mountain, or perhaps, even if Yinzhen himself answered.
As far as the eye can see, there are all sealed stone statues and ruined buildings, which are the result of a series of heavenly wars, and most of the historical buildings under the ancient cultural capital have been destroyed in the war, and the people who live in them have been wiped out in this crisis of the dead tree...... The struggle and desire of living beings to annex is really more terrifying than all natural disasters, not only swallowing everything around them, but also swallowing the enemy, swallowing the self, and even the world where they and the enemy live together.
"When the God of Creation saw this, he must have sighed that the world he created with one hand would be destroyed by the creatures he created with one hand...... But after all, isn't it the God of Creation who created these world-destroying creatures and gave them the instinct to invade and fight?"
"The heavens create all things, and all living beings fight to kill and destroy this world in order to survive, and the heavens are furious, so they want to destroy all living beings...... But what gives sentient beings the nature of contention is the heavens, and even the world-destroying things such as the dead tree are left by the heavens, and now the situation is so bad that it is all the fault of all sentient beings?
"What are you thinking when you look down on all living beings? What are you planning? What is what you want? What is the justice and truth that meet your requirements?"
"I've asked these questions countless times...... God, why don't you answer me? God, why don't you answer me?"
muttering to himself, sighing and being stupid, not only asking the sky above, but also representing the contradiction in his heart. For months, I have repeatedly asked myself these metaphysical thoughts, but the answer has not emerged, but I have become more and more confused, and I still know what to do at this moment.
I am very familiar with the structure of the building of Jixia City, but it doesn't matter, even if I close my eyes, I can clearly feel that from a certain direction in Jixia City, there is a strong man who is dormant in Jin, just like before, I don't want to ask anything, I don't want to touch anyone...... It's just that the wheel of fate doesn't stop, no matter where you hide, you have to come out and face it after all.
"It's been a long time, I know you're still here, and you should know I'm here. ”
The main reason why this big hole leading directly to the underground septic tank has not been filled up is because of the scruples of closing the way out of someone below.
"We didn't have any friendships before, we didn't have any contacts, and I'm not as caring as those guys at Reins, and if you don't want to come out, I'll blow it all out until you have nowhere to hide...... If you have any objections, you should have stayed away from the city when I entered the city just now, but since you are still here, you should come out and face your unfulfilled responsibilities, at least ...... You're going to face me!"
The voice of the voice was not very loud, but he knew that the people under the ground could hear it, and even if the words were not domineering, they were also very domineering, especially the people in the underground knew that they had always done what they said, so they would definitely react.
The next question is simply a choice between friend and foe......
"Just two people...... What do you think you can do?"
The vague sound came from the ground, although they were still on the Wind Continent, but the sensing range of the Zhaitian Rank Martial Artist was extremely wide, and the four dragon gods appeared in Kunlun Mountain, and both of them were already aware of it.
"Whether the enemy is strong or not has nothing to do with us, for two dead people, the enemy is only divided into life and death, and there is no difference between strong and weak. ”
One sentence gave the note to the action, but his wisdom led him to say the second.
“...... What's more, a moment of silence is only for a stronger and greater roar. In addition to us, it is time for other lurking forces to take action. ”
As he said, when the ability of the immortal tree began to run out of control, symbolizing that the situation had entered the final stage, the people who had been hiding in the dark and waiting for the opportunity began to act.
In the list of those who stayed behind Lei Yinjin, there was one woman who stood out in particular. The final location of the battle is Kunlun Mountain, in order to protect the geographical advantage, as the queen mother of the West of this generation, she should be the natural candidate to participate in the war, however, Fenghua's own combat power is not strong, weak and slender like her, on the battlefield can only serve as an auxiliary work of medical rescue, based on this consideration, as well as her own requirements, she did not accompany this final battle, just guarded on the coast of Reins, looking at the distant battlefield above the sea.
Unable to see things, but its wisdom is as clear as a mirror, clearly reflecting everything that happened on the battlefield in the distance, grieving for the death of so many lives in an instant, there is no doubt that the immortal tree can control all the creatures in the Wind Continent, but Fenghua clearly feels that those who have become undead are wandering down the sea, howling and weeping loudly at a frequency that mortal ears cannot hear.
Feeling pain in her heart, Fenghua chanted scriptures on the other side of the sea, trying her best to appease the grief of these undead, but the increasing number of dead souls was a relative burden to her.
I am really weak, and in the face of this war, all I can do is to deal with the aftermath and wait for the opportunity...... Now, the opportunity seems to have come, just like the original agreement in Kunlun Mountain, when the immortal tree ability is activated, "she" or "he" will appear.
"I'm sorry, Sister Fenghua has been waiting for a long time, and the fourth uncle's movements are too slow, so I have been waiting until now. Those who want to play pranks are impatient. ”
With a chuckle, the person who had been waiting for a long time appeared in the body, compared to the great responsibility she carried, her petite size made people unable to see the great power she had, and the seemingly innocent and childish pretty eyelid hole always made people ignore how dangerous she was a humanoid destruction weapon.
The long black hair combed into a ponytail can't help fluttering by the strong sea breeze, Oda Xiang is dressed as a samurai in men's clothes, but she still can't hide her delicate and lovely natural beauty, and the demon knife at her waist adds to the heroism of the female warrior's equipment, as if just standing there, she exudes an unparalleled flying look.
The descendant disciple of Tiandan Shiro, the princess of Japan, and the captain of the Ichiban team of the new writer...... These are the head streets she once owned, but now, these head streets have added a prominent title: the head of the white character family of this generation, and she herself promises to be the "executor of the white will", after the Central War, she acts silently in secret, waiting for an opportunity.
"The Undead Tree can control all living things...... From a biological point of view, God is also a living being, so this kind of scene is not to be expected. But...... Devout believers and atheists probably don't think in this direction. ”
Looking straight in the direction ahead, Oda Xiang sensed the shock wave emitted by the four dragon gods, which was frantically shaking the surrounding space, but her face did not show much surprise. Originally, she didn't have the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of ordinary people, not to mention that she knew that there would be this moment, but her heart, which she had never known what her joy and anger were, had recently begun to have a trace of unfamiliar emotions, and this feeling should be joy.
(Brother, even after you are hung up, you can still continue to master the world, you should be very happy with such an achievement...... )
It was emotion and admiration, when Oda Kata looked up at the other side of the sea, and the flames and electric light could be faintly seen in the dark sky, representing that she should take action, at this time, a black bream bat shadow suddenly flashed across the sky above her.
"Now...... It's really okay to go. ”
This final fierce battle between humans and demons, the one who responds is the demons, but the attacking side is humans, humans and humans, from the perspective of watching and sorting, it is really difficult to figure out every detail of what happened at that time, which can be explained by the fact that human beings always like to go their own way, each with its own ghosts, and it can also be explained as Reyns, who started this war, whose leader lacks popularity and is unable to unite the scattered forces. In short, the chaos at that time can be simply annotated, that is, "the enemies of mankind are actually human beings".
Oda Xiang, Zhou Gongjin, these extraordinary people who seemed silent before the start of the war, Yinzhen once paid special attention to them, searched their whereabouts, and confirmed life and death, but these intelligence works were not effective because of Shi Chong's sudden death and Yinzhen himself was busy casting spells on the immortal tree, and finally led to the disaster at the last moment, and the enemy began to assemble and move.
Although Gong Jin and Oda Xiang had no intention of joining forces with others, they both sensed that in addition to themselves, there were several forces quietly moving, and they set off with Kunlun Mountain as the final assembly place.
"The other party is the dragon god, and Zhai Tianwei is simply going to die, but even if he dies, he still has to do what he has to do. ”
"The work assigned by my brother must be completed, and if those old dragons stand in the way, I will even kill them!"
The two people who were not far from each other in strength had completely different attitudes towards the battle situation they were about to face, but neither of them noticed that when they began to make a move and set off towards the Kunlun Mountains to cross the sea, at the top of the half-destroyed ivory white tower, there was a man watching their actions with superhuman eyes.
Being able to secretly peek at the strongest martial artists in the world, their strength is naturally not to be underestimated, standing on the top of the ivory white tower at this moment, looking at the once familiar hometown, the mountain beard that was always installed in Buba has been removed, the nomadic style of the white cannon has also been replaced by the uniform of academician Taiyan, and although the long hair is only tied at random to the back of Dong's head, it shows an elegant style that no one can match.
This was his favorite dress back then, but compared with that year, the handsome and unparalleled appearance added maturity and depth of wisdom, arrogance turned into introverted, and he was watching the actions of all walks of life leisurely with deep eyes, and then, the eyes of the White Army Emperor turned direction, first looked at the ivory white tower under his feet, his eyes were instantly sharp as if he could penetrate the feet, and saw all kinds of underground, after getting some kind of confirmation, he turned to stare at the city of Jixia, the brilliant pillar of light that reached straight to the sky, especially dazzling in the dark sky.
"Hmm...... This thing seems to take a long time to unravel...... "wW."
