Chapter 607: The Century of the Gods and the Path of Spiritual Calamity (5600, Second Update, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
With the violent eruption of the Half Moon Lake volcano, a series of shockwaves visible to the naked eye reverberated between heaven and earth, and it swept across the entire Favette Mountains and the cities around Half Moon Lake, shaking most of the buildings, and even causing more than a dozen cities to collapse and destroy.
If it weren't for the fact that Canaan Moore had already made corresponding preparations and moved most of the inhabitants, and the fifth-level powerhouse, the Constant Wind Aveliwen, suppressed the shockwave outflow caused by this natural disaster and channeled it into the void, the casualties of this natural disaster might have exceeded millions.
Even with the prophecy of the Cult of the Spirits, there were still more than a million dead and wounded.
But can this really be called a natural disaster?
It seems to be a pillar of lava fire that bursts out of the earth's mantle, and a mountain more than 4,000 meters high rises as soon as it erupts, and there is a huge dragon that is extremely extraordinary and special at first glance......
Is this really a natural disaster, not some kind of dragon calamity?
Aveliwen was obviously wondering about this as well, and after channeling the devastating shockwave into the void, she also followed the 'wind' towards the dark golden dragon.
But after some time, she returned to Canaan Moore with a very ugly face.
She didn't catch up with the other party...... The speed of the dark golden dragon was abnormally fast, and it began to accelerate continuously after entering the cosmic void, and when it crossed the lunar orbit, its speed had reached five percent of the speed of light!
At this speed, even a fifth-level powerhouse can't easily catch up...... Perhaps only the Sunbird Inheritance of the Sertar Empire can catch up and surpass each other with the ability of actinization.
But the other party uses entities, and the Sunbird inheritance is actinic, and the difficulty between the two cannot be compared at all.
The dark golden dragon is still accelerating, and its flesh is also etherized, and it is predicted that if it can continue to accelerate like this, it may even reach a maximum speed of 50% of the speed of light when it reaches Metis (the tenth planet of Terra's solar system), and the flesh will also be completely etherized, and it will be able to sublimate into a form unlike any other fifth energy level.
He flew straight out of Terra's solar system, without looking back or pausing.
No one could stop Him, not even the other true dragons.
The world was in an uproar.
And the Cult of Spiritual Spirits, which successfully predicted the 'Disaster of the True Dragon', also completely proved its prophetic ability.
This is also the first step of the Cult of Spiritual Worship gradually moving towards the Fifth Orthodox Church.
"Interesting!"
The second omen had already made Ian feel a little tired, but he didn't have the slightest idea of ending, but picked up his spirits and continued to observe.
The harvest that this omen brought to Ian was extremely rich.
It is not only a harbinger of the direction of research, but also a very important natural disaster...... Six years later, the plague of the True Dragon occurred in the Canaan Moore Half Moon Lake and the Faft Mountains.
Not to mention the strength, just from the speed and attitude of that dark golden dragon, Ian could see that his purpose was definitely the crack of the 'Prison Star Prison' five light years away!
He's going to get out of this cage! At half the speed of light, it took ten years to fly out hard!
How arrogant is this? And what a great power?
With the power of sublimation and the incredible strength of the true dragon's body, the dark golden dragon will abandon all civilizations and its kind, abandon the support of the entire ecosystem, and escape from prison as a 'lone wanderer' or even a 'lone beast'.
He didn't care that other people would be locked down by the prison, and he didn't care that he was still in prison outside of the prison, but he was bent on flying out.
Fly into the universe.
When he saw this scene, Ian's heart was not only extremely shocked, but also had a realization in his heart.
- yes. Inaga II was indeed a great man.
He thought to himself. There is a kind of admiration in my heart that I am the same kind, but I find that the other party has made something that he can't do.
- If it is a fifth-level powerhouse, the inheritor of the bloodline of the Sun God Bird...... If he wanted to, he could fly out of the Prison Star Prison in five years.
Five light years is an incredibly long distance for ordinary people, but for sublimators, especially some special sublimators, it may be a long and lonely journey.
Can a fifth-level powerhouse maintain actinization for five years? Ian thinks it's possible, as long as he is prepared, riding the solar wind, replenishing energy at the planets, and cruising at the speed of light when he exits the eleventh planet, Nemsis, Inaga II only needs to maintain photochemical energy, not accelerate.
He can absolutely do that.
If he really just wants to look at the stars, he just wants to touch the stars with his hands.
Inaga II, it can be done.
But instead of doing that, he stayed in Terra......
Then, he died in Terra.
Died in this hometown that never understood him.
Gathering his thoughts, before making the observation of the third Omen Fragment, Ian was still pondering whether the plague of the true dragon that occurred in the Half Moon Lake was related to what he knew, the Dragon Cult and the 'Heir of the Steel Dragon' discovered by Canaan Moore.
It's all ancient dragons, it's all underground labyrinths, it's all mysterious and unknown places around the Favt and Karan Mountains......
Ian felt that none of this was a coincidence. The Dragon Worship Cult and Canaan Moore, and even the elves of Anfa, are definitely quite involved in this matter.
And on this path, I have obviously embarked on the path of 'prophet' and 'religion'...... At that time, I guess I also broke through the third energy level.
A third-level prophet, the deity of the Cult of the Cult of the Spiritual Gods, is enough to gain the respect of all forces, at least the Huaiguang Church can support itself openly, because of its 'Foresight' ability, it can discover natural disasters that they can't discover.
This isn't surprising — Ian doesn't even need to predict natural disasters, he just needs to look at where people are prone to death, not too simple.
Farming, with Lijiao...... Finally, he used the prophetic prophecy to expand the influence of the sect, and received the attention and even investment of Huaiguang and other orthodox churches and big forces.
By the time the big forces began to prepare to explore the bottom of the Spirit God Cult, it would be at least after 785, and at that time, Ian Iron was at the fourth level.
At that time, in the era when the fifth-level powerhouse would not make random moves, he would have the confidence to face the major forces, and he could become a 'chess player' and begin to use the whole world as a chessboard to arrange his own plans.
However, the fragment of the omen is only a fragment after all...... There's still a lot of information about this futuristic world, and Ian can't get it.
For example, the reason why his sect has developed so fast and no one cares about it is because the war between the Empire and the Flying Flame Land has already heated up?
And the reason why Canaan Moore listened to his prophecy so much and moved away from the tens of millions of people around Half Moon Lake without suspicion is certainly not something that the prophet can explain.
Ian believes that he should have used the relationship between the Worship of the Dragon Cult and the Anfa side to show some evidence, which convinced the Canaan Moore higher-ups.
But a prophet cannot prophesy a prophet, especially himself...... So Ian didn't know what he was thinking and doing at that time, just like when the swarm was on the way.
"I guess I can prophesy again...... This is probably the river of the dead king, plus the two events of the Prison Star Heavenly Prison have improved the foreknowledge horizon...... So everything that is prophesied has something to do with them. ”
Thinking of this, Ian thought about it, he somewhat understood the law of his special prophecy ability - just like in the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea, what gave him spiritual energy enhancement was the information related to the swarm, so he predicted that the dream was the path of the swarm.
This time is no exception.
"Go on!"
Feeling the deepening of exhaustion, Ian naturally did not continue to delay: "Let me see what the future will be like after I become the head of the Great Sect!" ”
- There are prophets, and they have successfully prevented tens of millions of casualties, not to mention the Fifth Orthodox Church, a serious local religion should always have, right?
With this expectation in mind, he once again sank into the vortex of psionic energy.
And then...... Ian saw it.
A barren and dead land, with no life left.
Another one, a disaster brought about by oneself.
And the name of the path he saw in this future that the prophecy really intended to foreshadow for Ian.
[——Spiritual Calamity Path——]
……
From the time of the Plague of the True Dragon, which occurred in Terra 779, to the year 787 of Terra, the Cult of the Cult of the Spirits had many more followers in Nanling and Canaanmore Moor.
Its doctrine is very clear – to uphold all righteous vengeance, and all protection of family, family, and community.
This is the simplest desire of the human heart...... survival, and violence in order to survive.
And with the gradual normalization of the Cult of the Cult of the Spirit, its clerics are also gradually increasing, and the Knights of Patronage and the Vengeance Messenger have even developed two different true forms to adapt to their psionic abilities, which is the foundation of a future Orthodox Church.
Up to now, the Cult of the Spiritual Spirit, which has been around for about fourteen years since its appearance, has surpassed the strength and heritage of some small countries.
At such a speed, if it is said to be flying, I am afraid that it is all overlooked.
But that's not all.
The Cult of the Cult of the Soul has likewise brought a lot of technological changes...... For example, the 'leyline engine' that only exists in theory is the key to the sect's ability to transform the primitive ecology of Nanling.
Unlike many alchemy furnaces in the past, the Leyline Engine is a natural energy engine similar to the Hydro and Geothermal Generators, which is based on the interaction of natural psionic energy cycles, which can extract the power of Terra's natural psionic energy for its own use.
While everyone else was amazed by the Cult's technology, Ian was well aware that the so-called leyline engine was nothing more than a simplified version of the 'True Aether Heart'.
It uses a rather complex set of theories to slowly attract peripheral psionic energy to gather around itself to form the 'leylines' of sub-entities, and then use the supporting energy array to absorb the energy in the leylines for utilization, which requires more natural topography than technology.
Although it is not portable and can only supply the needs of surrounding cities, it does solve the energy problem of Nanling.
In addition, with the death of the first group of believers in the Cult of Spiritual Spirits, the power of the 'Dead King' was gradually revealed.
There is still life after death.
The dead remain.
Soul...... It can be immortalized.
Even if it comes at the cost of falling into hell and becoming part of the 'spirits'...... No one would think that this was a 'cruelty'.
Rather, this can be regarded as a kind of salvation for this world full of suffering and natural disasters.
When this was revealed, many people expressed shock and ecstasy - they undoubtedly wanted to join the Cult of the Soulful, but were rejected.
Because, if you want to join the Cult of the Spirit, what you need is a 'contract' and a related 'transformation'.
Without an artificial soul, without the same consensus of revenge and refuge, and without experiencing painful death and calamity, such an ordinary soul cannot become a deceased king, that is, a part of the so-called 'spirit gods'.
Even so, there are countless people who want to join the Cult of Spirituality - almost instantly, the Cult of Spirituality has become a veritable 'Fifth Orthodox Church'.
But as a price, and as a matter of course for the lofty status of the 'Orthodox Church', the Cult of Spiritual God has also spread the relevant technology of 'Spiritual God' to the major forces.
As Ian had guessed back then, once the Dead King's technology was exposed, it had to be 'shared' with other forces.
Unwilling?
Are you kidding! Whether it was Inaga II, Grand Duke Thorin, or Ian himself, he developed this technology in order to spread it!
However, the timing of the diffusion, the identity of the proliferater, and the attitude displayed when it was disseminated are far more important than the simple 'proliferation' of the matter itself.
It took Ian fourteen years to finally make the Cult of the Spirit God a major force in the Terra Continent, and then used the high prestige of this great force to release the technology related to the 'Spirit God', and told the world that this technology was developed to protect the souls of all living beings and protect the souls of all living beings.
In this way, the right to interpret the 'consensus' is firmly in the hands of the Cult of Spiritual Worship...... It can even be said that it remains in the hearts of all beings.
Since then, it has been impossible for anyone to deceive the people into concocting a consensus to come up with another doctrine of the 'Dead King and God'.
The sublimators of Terra will have to pay attention to ordinary people, and the situation of the entire world will have a huge change.
This is the world situation that Ian wants to create...... Ordinary people are no longer dust that the sublimators don't care about, and those who have the technology of the Dead King cannot see the souls of ordinary people as another food and material—for the souls of the dead, who already know the teachings of the Spirit God, will not recognize him without sheltering and avenging them.
Even, other people who possess the technology of the Dead King will hunt down this kind of evil person, and use this incident as propaganda to attract more people to themselves and become his 'people'.
And these latecomers will never be able to surpass the initiators of the expansion of the dead king.
That is, the deity of the Cult of the Cult of Spirituality, Ian.
That's what Ian spent fourteen years ago developing the Church for—he would become orthodox, a true protector of souls, and all who tried to distort it would be struck and crushed by him.
Ian, who spreads too early and has no power to maintain order, will only allow technology to create chaos constantly.
But Ian, who is just right and has the strength, has the confidence to create order.
For a time, the whole world became much more peaceful, and many wars, even if they were still being fought, gradually converged.
Especially after everyone knew that they could not return to the arms of the spirit gods without souls, many people who had not yet undergone artificial soul surgery developed a war-weary mood.
- The eternal life of the soul is just around the corner, and you want us to die now?
Do those who want to oppose this want to go against the 'consensus' of all beings and be rejected by the 'spirits' forever?
The world is at peace, in a way that no one could have imagined.
With the passage of more than ten years and the passage of time, there have been 'spirit gods' of different sizes in this world, and their strength ranges from the third energy level to the fifth energy level, and most of them are strong people before the spirit god era.
They have added some new consensus to the 'Spirit God Foundation Consensus Protocol' set by Ian.
For example, the 'warrior spirit god' of the Cangtian Royal Court, which can also be referred to as the spirit god of the 'god of war', is the younger brother of the new khan of the Cangtian Royal Court.
He was originally a powerhouse of the fourth energy level, and although the spirit god did not let him break through the fifth energy level, it also made him find another way to find another way.
In addition to 'protection' and 'revenge', he added a clause to the consensus of the spirits and gods' 'to seize glory by fighting', which attracted a large number of warrior classes in the Heavenly Court - because of the protection of souls and spirits, this group of people has long been not afraid of death, but longs for battle and death, using battle to seize glory, and coexisting with gods with death.
The god of war of the Heavenly Court started the war again, and the long whip of the Khan rubbed his fists, intending to whip the whole world.
They are constantly creating friction on the border, but the response has been quite negative.
It's not that they don't want to fight, but since everyone returns to the arms of the spirit god after death and enhances the strength of the spirit god, it has become a very complicated issue whether to die or not, whether to defend or not, and whether to fight or not.
The Heavenly Court and the Flying Flame Land have a fighting culture and bloodline, but the spirit gods in other realms, even if they add a new consensus, are nothing more than the 'nature closer' on the elven side, the 'maintainer of order' on the empire's side, and the 'nature god' and the 'order god' on the empire's side.
Even the Huaiguang Church has created spiritual gods such as the 'God of Watching' and the 'God of Existence and Continuation'.
Rather than fighting with the Heavenly Court and consuming population and resources, what they hope more is to expand their 'consensus' and become 'spirit gods' who can represent more people.
Population is already a resource, they are the helmsmen, they are the captains, and their crews are naturally as many as possible, and the more sincere their protective hearts are, the better - it is the mad dog like the god of war that wants to consume a large number of people through war and forcibly obtain the power of consensus.
The age of the gods has come.
Ian single-handedly created the Cult of the Spirits...... Even, single-handedly created the gods of Terra!
However, it was just when Ian used a method that bordered on a 'religious victory' to bring peace to all of Terra.
Suddenly, the state of the entire planet Terra became extremely abnormal.
The first anomalies to appear are the Void Realm and the Fairy Township.
As Falling Star City is suddenly destroyed in an extremely terrifying Limbo Shock, it becomes a labyrinth of subspace, and the surviving goblins who have escaped from it bring a terrifying piece of news.
- The Void is shattering and falling.
Literally smashed.
For a while, before anyone noticed, the Void Realm, which had been maintaining steadily, suddenly collapsed, forming a large and small abyss of silence and subspace labyrinths on top of Terra.
A large number of people died due to natural disasters due to accidents, and if it weren't for the fact that the Spiritual God's Shelter Domain covered all the corners of the entire Terra, and the large and small Spiritual Gods forcibly resisted this disaster, then the outbreak of this Shimmer Disaster would have killed billions of people.
This is an apocalyptic cataclysmic crisis...... An unprecedented spiritual disaster!
It's a good thing that the existence of the spirit gods has sheltered the entire Terra, but there are also keen people who suspect that it is the excessive number of spirit gods that affect the existence of the shroud, causing the to overlap with reality - this is indeed a possibility, so the Cult of the Spirit God and other major forces have teamed up to explore the cause of the collapse of the shroud.
Then, they followed the clues all the way to the center of the earth.
The original pioneer of the Dead King's technology, and perhaps the first spirit god, the place where Grand Duke Thorin and his people slept.
But...... Here, the gods did not see the sleeping Grand Duke of Thorin and the hell he created...... Or 'the kingdom of God.'"
Here, only a dense cloud of pitch-black psionic energy was undulating...... The central undulation of the center of the Earth's Terra.
It was an embryo, the embryo of an unprecedented, unimaginably large monster.
The others didn't recognize it, but Ian knew.
It was a river-level doomsday monster, the embryo of the superbody 'Void Breed'.
The nightmare that originally existed only in the dreams of all living beings has now become a reality—the collapse of the virtual realm is precisely because of the first song that it is about to be born.
It's going to hatch.
The omen came to an abrupt end.
