At the foot of the Taihuang Mountain, the Yulin army who noticed the change on the top of the mountain were a little uneasy in their hearts.

They knew that Emperor Xia himself was on the top of the mountain now.

Hua Li, the leader of the Yulin Army, was also present at this time, and after a little thought, he ordered: "The pioneer disperses the tourists. ”

This mountain is of great significance to the human race, and there are countless myths and legends in the past.

Although the worship of the gods has now been abolished under the order of Qin Zhao, the status of this mountain as a place of enshrinement has not been weakened, but has become more unique.

However, because of its significance to the Terrans, it was not designated as a royal domain.

Except for the fact that ordinary people are not allowed to step on the top of the mountain, ordinary people can still go to the mountain in other places to pray for blessings.

And today was not a major festival, but Qin Zhao temporarily decided to come over, so the road was not closed, and there were still many people on the mountain.

With the orderly persuasion of the Yulin army, the flow of people on the mountain began to gradually become scarce.

The people of this era are very honest and pay attention to "officials do not fight with the people".

In fact, not to mention those ordinary people, even some high-ranking officials and nobles, when they saw that the other party was wearing the standard military uniform of the Yulin Army, they didn't dare to say a word and left silently.

If you say, which army is the most powerful in Daxia today, it is definitely not the elite Xuanjia Army as trump cards, but these Yulin Army as the imperial court guards!

What is "Feather Forest"? It is taken from the meaning of "wings for the country, such as the prosperity of the forest".

Although the former is stronger and has more military achievements, in comparison, the Yulin Army, which is obviously closer to the emperor, has a higher status in people's hearts.

......

At this time, the top of the Thai Emperor Mountain was already shrouded in a red light, and in the mysterious space, the souls and remnants that were originally entangled with each other were gradually separated.

Turned into two figures, looking at each other from a distance of tens of meters.

One of them was Qin Zhao, wearing a black dragon robe, a flat crown on his head, and an emperor dress.

Opposite him was the figure of a human-faced dragon body, the size of him, but the face was exactly the same as himself!

"What are you?!" Qin Zhao looked at the figure opposite, his heart was full of turmoil, and he was a little surprised.

The series of images just now has not faded from the impact.

It was like a huge abyss, constantly devouring what was left of his sanity, pulling him down into the shadows.

"I am you." The figure with a dragon body and a human face said indifferently, and his voice was indifferent, but it seemed to contain great majesty.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Qin Zhao suddenly became furious, "I am me, how can I have such a look like you!" ”

"Really?" The other party did not refute, and his voice was still as flat as ever, and he was not shocked.

A little bit of golden light began to appear on it, and it became more and more majestic.

At the same time, bits and pieces of ink began to dye Qin Zhao's figure in a dragon robe.

This ink color was different from the dark black of his dragon robe, but a bottomless darkness like an abyss.

Qin Zhao frowned slightly when he saw this, and secretly thought about countermeasures.

He didn't know why he was suddenly in this inexplicable state now.

But fortunately, there is still luck in the body, there is also a gold list of luck in hand, and with the protection of the people, you should be able to ensure your own safety.

Thinking of this, he began to silently mobilize the luck in his body - he already had some sense of this special power, and he was able to really use them.

However, as he moved, his brow furrowed even tighter.

He couldn't sense his luck at all!

It stands to reason that this is impossible.

Even when he crossed over to the Fengyang Continent, he could feel his majestic luck, these powers were hidden deep in the depths of the divine soul, even if there was no physical existence, it should not be inaccessible.

Immediately, he immediately summoned the Fortune Gold List.

As expected, it failed again -

"Are you looking for this?"

Just as Qin Zhao was in his horrified gaze, as the figure with the human face and dragon body spoke, a golden list appeared between the two of them.

It's the luck gold list!

"How can it be ......" Now that his own reliance has become the other party's means, his face has become a little sluggish.

"Don't dare to admit your weakness? Don't dare to face your own shortcomings? ”

Qin Zhao fell silent, and the ink color accelerated to soak his robe.

In the blink of an eye, it was pitch black from the waist down, as if you were in a bottomless quagmire.

"Throw in the towel? Do you know your shortcomings? The figure's face finally changed slightly, and he nodded thoughtfully.

"Yes, along the way. You have relied on luck and the help of the luck gold list to get to where you are today. In fact, I'm just an ordinary person. Luckily, you have to admit it now. ”

After a pause, it continued: "You have too many shortcomings. The methods are too soft, the killings are not aggressive enough, the order is not rigorous, and the royal majesty is not strict enough. In the future, I will replace you and rebuild this kingdom. ”

The golden light continued to spread, and most of its dragon body had turned from red to gold.

Qin Zhao didn't look at the change in the other party's body shape, and he didn't even listen carefully to what he said just now, he was thinking about what the other party said before.

Indeed, this is the root cause of his reluctance to face it and his lack of confidence in his heart.

In other words, this is the "demon of the heart".

But is that really the case?

"Hehe......" Qin Zhao suddenly smiled and looked at the figure opposite with a face that looked the same as him, "I know what you are." ”

The other party frowned, and the growth rate of the golden light on his body slowed down.

"You're right, you're me!" Qin Zhao first acknowledged what it had said earlier, "However, you are only the divine side of my heart, representing absolute reason, but there is no human nature. Because of the remnants of the candle dragon, it was able to manifest. As for this so-called 'gold list', it's just an illusion, right? ”

He walked forward slowly, moving closer to the figure with a dragon face, and the two figures, one black and one gold, gradually approached.

"You're right, I'm just an ordinary person, I should realize this, and thank you for reminding me."

As he spoke, he slowly stretched out his right hand.

"But people always have to grow, and they always have to grow. How many life and death crises, how many court games, I can come step by step, not just relying on these things outside my body. It is both my duty and my strength for my people to trust me and for my courtiers to rely on me. ”

Finally, he raised his right hand flat and stood in front of him, silently waiting for another "him" in front of him.

"If you don't have humanity, can you still call it human?"

In his heart, he remembered the expectant eyes of the Terran people he had seen when they sowed, the joyful eyes when they harvested, and the resolute eyes when they fought......

He never lost sight of the power of the human heart.

After a while, there seemed to be a hint of discoloration on the cold and hard face of the other "Qin Zhao", and then he stretched out his hand and shook it with his hand.

In the process of cultivation, anyone will inevitably encounter all kinds of "inner demons".

These "demons" are essentially just projections of the other side of their own minds.

But if it is not handled well, it will cause a catastrophe if you are not careful, and it may even stop from now on, or even go crazy and become another person, or become mentally ill.

Therefore, in all the cultivation methods, there is only one way to deal with such incidents, the Heart Slayer!

Only one of the two can survive.

It's called the Tribulation.

However, Qin Zhao chose another way to deal with it, facing his heart and reconciling with himself.

When the two shook hands, in their souls, the waves were undulating, and the Qionglou realm was instantly complete, reaching a critical point that could be broken through at any time.

It was at this time that the golden light of the Emperor's seal in the Xiayang Palace shot out, reflecting here in an instant, and the space was dyed golden.

And as the inner demon disappeared, the figure of the dragon body and human face did not disappear, but the aura became more and more immense.

But this power is not overwhelming.

Just as people are facing a cosmic starry sky, they will only feel infinite height and magnificence.

No matter what kind of being you are, whether you are high or low, whether you are strong or weak, there is no difference in His presence.

It's just that the face is no longer Qin Zhao's appearance, but a blur, it seems that it can be any person, and it doesn't seem to be a human face!

Candle Dragon Remnant!

Qin Zhao's heart was dark, knowing that the matter was not over yet, he hurriedly stepped back.

However, the "candle dragon" has not changed much, and its body shape has remained at its original size.

"Humans?" The candle dragon didn't pay attention to his movements, and turned his head to look.

It seemed that an obscure tone emanated from his chest and abdomen, but Qin Zhao instantly understood the meaning of his voice.

"You know?" Qin Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.

He didn't have much to fear at this point.

The existence in front of him is completely different from the previous demon, this wisp of remnants, I am afraid it is really effortless to kill myself.

He had felt that power before.

"Hmm...... I used to have an idea, but I didn't expect it to really appear. ”

The candle dragon didn't seem to have much of a stand, and he was so approachable that Qin Zhao was a little surprised.

He, the emperor, is too big a status gap compared to the creation gods.

"Don't underestimate yourself. Well...... As an acquired being, you are still good. As if sensing the thoughts in his mind, the candle dragon said slowly.

Qin Zhao didn't care about the other party's words of sincerity or comfort, and said tentatively: "I don't know what state you are in now?" ”

"It's just a wisp of remnants, what else can it be. But after so many years, the world has changed a lot. ”

He raised his head slightly, and his gaze seemed to pass through this mysterious space, seeing the infinite starry sky, seeing the higher realms, seeing the more distant time and space, and even everything that happened in the past......

In short, it was a field that Qin Zhao would never be able to reach today.

"Are you ready to come back to life? How can I help you? He unconsciously used honorifics.

"Resurrection?" The candle dragon's tone seemed to be a little surprised, and then he was dumbfounded.

"How weak the acquired soul is. Ten years can see spring to winter, a hundred years can prove birth, old age, sickness and death, and a thousand years can be a pity for the change of dynasty...... Life and death, only you care. ”

There was no contempt in His voice, only a slight sigh, recounting what was so commonplace.

He did not have the obsession of resurrection, and if he had such an obsession, he would have been able to return to the world with his power a long time ago.

Qin Zhao was really surprised this time, "Don't you have any unfulfilled wishes?" Don't have the slightest nostalgia for the world? ”

"Wish?"

"I mean, what it means to keep living."

"Hehe, that's an interesting acquired soul."

The candle dragon sighed, "We were born to be the embodiment of the Tao, so why bother looking for any meaning? Our existence is a kind of meaning, and the same is true of dissipation. ”

"Born is a ...... meaning," Qin Zhao was slightly distracted when he heard this.

Yes, with the humility and weakness of the human race, how can we understand the vastness and power of the innate gods.

"And what does your existence represent?"

"Order!"

As soon as these two words came out, it seemed that the mouth was full of heavenly constitution, and the entire space changed in an instant.

It seems that all have been changed at the rule level.

"Order ......" Qin Zhao repeated silently, and immediately felt a tremble.

These two simple words carry a weight that he can't imagine.

"In this way, what the Nine Emperors Dao Body represents is ......" His heart suddenly moved.

When he heard the words "Nine Emperors Dao Body", the calm that the candle dragon had been all there had been suddenly changed, and the murderous aura swept out of the sky.

In an instant, Qin Zhao felt that his divine soul seemed to be standing in the candle flame in the cold wind, and the breath of life seemed to drop to the freezing point, and he was about to die at any time.

Just the inadvertent release of murderous aura has such power!

What is meant by "regarded as day, twilight as night, blowing as winter, and calling as summer", he can only understand a little bit now.

"I'm sorry." Sensing his state, the candle dragon immediately restrained his breath, and even apologized politely.

"Mother of All Stars...... What stands for is 'freedom'. ”

After a long time, Qin Zhao came to his senses.

When I heard His answer, I suddenly sighed: "It is really difficult for absolute 'order' and absolute 'freedom' to coexist." ”

When the candle dragon heard this, he sneered very disdainfully, "Boy, don't speculate, you don't understand." ”

There is no mercy in the slightest.

His face suddenly hung a little, but he had nothing to say.

Mortals are born with no more than a hundred years of life, and even if they succeed in cultivation, they can live for thousands of years longer, and they are no different from summer insects in front of the gods who are almost immortal.

Even if you count the total duration of human existence and the sum of civilization experiences, it is just a snap of your fingers for these innate gods.

The difference in the scale of time has already determined the difference in the attitude of both parties towards life and the difference in their understanding of the rules.

His comments here do seem a bit shallow and self-righteous.

However, he was a little confused.

Why does such an existence coexist with the qi of the human emperor? What's the truth in this?

Moreover, what level of luck is the gold list, which can actually summon his remnants.

Also, what is the idea of "humans" that Candle Dragon said before? I always feel that there is a lot of secrets inside.

Just as his mind was turning, the candle dragon spoke again—

"However, since I have come once, I have to test the color, do you think that this matter will pass so easily?"

When Qin Zhao heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
