Chapter 4—The King and the Sacred Tree (4)

The struggle between theocracy, kingship and human rights exists and applies to human society at any time... The royal power confirms the legitimacy of its existence through the divine right, and the divine right needs the support and worship of the royal power to continue, the divine right is the witness of the royal power above human rights, and the royal power is the follower of the order of the divine power in human society... And between theocracy and royal power, on top of human rights, love and kill each other... Whether it is a divine right or a royal power, they all hope to suppress each other through various means, so as to gain absolute control over human rights... Thus, the Old Gods suppressed the royal power by giving divinity to the commoners and non-believers, converting them to themselves and becoming champions of divine power. And the royal power, through its influence in the world, gathers commoners and sons of God who are willing to be loyal to the king, and then fights against the gods for thousands of years...

"But if that's the case... Clearing: You should... I also made a spell with my own blood, why... I also want to let Brother Xu..."Huahua was puzzled... Because according to Qingci, taking blood as the guide should be normal for Qingci, but why does Qingci still have a really big reaction?

"Uh... Well..."Qing Ci hesitated for a moment, "Hehe, I used to learn talismans, and I only needed to use white ink as a reference... Even if you learn advanced sigils, it's just replaced with black dog blood... I haven't used my own blood... Harm... And I want to confirm one more thing... 🥺 Qing Ci said, sighing regretfully...

"Sure enough, Brother Xu won't bear to hurt me, hehe, forget it, I'd better come by myself..." I don't know if I don't look carefully, this hairpin is unusually sharp, but it is usually inserted in the hair, and the moment the hairpin is pulled out, it is like a sword out of the sheath, just such a small hairpin...

Qingci's arm was snow-white and slender, and one or two drops of crimson blood slowly seeped out from the wound and gathered together...

"Is a little bit of that enough...?" Lin Xu saw a drop of bean-sized blood resting on Qing Ci's arm, and the wound seemed to have begun to close, and it was no longer oozing blood, so he asked...

"Or else! Do you want a river of blood to soak a book in it? Brother Xu is so stupid! Qing Ci only felt funny for a while, she only needed a little bit of Qing Ci's essence blood to invalidate all the spells in this world!

Lin Xu opened the book and flipped it to the place where it was glued. "Wait a minute, Qingci, your blood won't, wipe out the space spell of this book too!" Lin Xu suddenly thought that if the curse marks on this book were erased as Qing Ci said, then the content recorded in this book would never be found again... He promised Shui Bo that he would definitely return the book, besides, it didn't matter if he really ruined the book, then his clues about the Divine Tree would be broken!

"No, Brother Xu, the principle of the seal and the spell are different, if the prohibition was attached when the space spell was created at the beginning, it might really be due to the cementation and rupture of the spell that the book will eventually be broken... However, this prohibition is obviously attached to the book, so it certainly won't cause damage to the book. Seeing that Lin Xu was still hesitant, Qing Ci took the book directly from Lin Xu's mobile phone and dripped blood beads onto the ban...

Sure enough, after the blood of Qingci crossed the seam of the glued book, the previously adhered part opened, Lin Xu took the book, and then read it to everyone...

"It is said in the book that the sixth king was immoral, and did many perverse things..."

Since the arrival of the six generations of kings holding the withered leaves of the sacred tree, the mysterious disappearance of the sacred tree represents the sudden collapse of theocracy, and the social balance of theocratic belief, royal rule, and human rights that has been pursued in the past has been suddenly beaten. The royal power lost the clamp of divine power and suddenly reached the peak of power, and it was also the peak of the oppression and persecution of human rights, and the nobles and ordinary people who represented human rights became the objects of oppression by the six generations of kings, and the human rights class lost its former faith and the protection of divine power, and the once trusted leader and son of God who guarded the world became the minions of demons... The world, or rather, the world of human rights, is once again in crisis...

Then... A group of former nobles and ordinary people scattered around the world with divine nature from all over the world formed an organization to defend human rights, the Miracle Troupe.

At first, the nobles were pressured by the king, and the king asked them to loot gold and silver treasures in the world for the king, and become the king's minions, but the nobles' position was always on the side of human rights, so the king used the guard to kill all the nobles who resisted at first. Later, the six generations of kings renamed the guard regiment and took it into their own collection, which was called the masquerade ball. Because in order to hide the identity of the son of God in the guard group, the six kings gave all the members different masks, which can help the members of the group better disguise themselves and improve their combat ability...

At this point, the two strongest organizations on this road in the future, the Strange Troupe and the Masquerade Party, were born.

The nobles were also ordinary people, only a few were divinity-possessors, and they sold all their family property and land, and threw away their titles to recruit troops and horses, and excavate the scattered and hidden sons of gods in society to jointly crusade against the six generations of kings. And the sons of God in the masquerade, not all of them have absolute loyalty to the six generations of kings, they were originally loyal to the king chosen by the sacred tree, most of their reasons are that the appearance of the six generations of kings is too special, and the sacred tree has disappeared, if they are not loyal to the six generations of kings, their faith will be destroyed, for which it may not only be the collapse of faith, the loss of divinity, but also will be hunted down to the ends of the earth by the six generations of kings as enemies, so most of the sons of gods are loyal to the six generations of kings by default. Perhaps it was because of his identity as the son of God that he helped the six kings to do so many things that were inferior to beasts, and began to change the hearts of some people in the masquerade, and some people used the excuse of retreat to stop appearing; Some people quietly turned in the direction of the Strange Troupe; Some have become the king's minions; There are also people who hovering between the two forces, staging a spy within a spy on a spy.

In the end, in the busy death actions of the Strange Troupe and the Masquerade and the Six Generations of Kings, the Six Generations of Kings mysteriously died, and his soul was sealed in the Evil Land by a witch who was proficient in all the runes in the world in the Masquerade Ball... And the sacred tree never appeared again...

And the Strange Troupe and the Masquerade also disappeared after the war, although there have been several organizations that have come out to commit crimes under the banner of the masquerade, and they have all been brought to justice in the end, proving that there is no such thing...

Due to the fall of the six generations of kings, the Wonder Troupe and the masquerade ball, which gathered the elite of the sons of the gods of the world at that time, disappeared, and the sacred tree also disappeared. All the nobles who participated in the conquest of the six generations of kings and the remnants gathered together to discuss the establishment of a new order... At the meeting, the various forces fought to divide the property left by the six generations of kings and the land in the world, and the meeting was deadlocked...

This meeting to redraw the world pattern was stalemate for two years, during which the nobles of all sides fought against each other, burned and plundered, and annexed land...

When human rights were freed from the shackles of divine right and royal power and obtained hard-won freedom, people did not cherish it... Just like the six generations of kings who have lost the balance of divine power, they unscrupulously vent their desires...

"Is the world in crisis again?" Han asked...

"Definitely not, otherwise where did we come from! Hahahaha. Qing Ci took the words.

"Hey, resignation, could it be that the ancestor of your Qingci family sealed the soul of the six generations of kings!" Huahua listened carefully, she has always been curious about the Qingci family, which is why she unconsciously has a good impression of Qingci...

"Brother Jiuri, what are you going to say... What happened later? Qingci poked Lin Xu's arm.

"Uh... Later......"

In this meeting, from the beginning of the negotiations, the nobles from all walks of life quarreled for a year, and they staggered for two years in the middle, almost in name only, if they wanted to fight, they would fight, and if they couldn't fight, they would either be slaughtered, either they would surrender to the strong, or the alliance would attack each other... Some big families have been defeated by other nobles because they have done too much perverse evil, some families are mediocre generations, and suddenly gave birth to descendants with divinity, leading the family to leap into the queue of big families, and some big families, among the descendants, there is no son of God, and since then it has declined... At this point, during the two years that the conference was stagnant, the nobles were ostensibly waving the banner of freedom from war, and the conquest and killing were already obvious facts... Many families have also disappeared in this battle for human rights...

Until the sixth year of the formal negotiations, on the day of the change of the century, that is, the day when the six kings were completely sealed, according to the oath of that year, all the nobles would go to the sacred depression left by the sacred tree to make sacrifices... On that day, only the twenty-nine nobles who were more powerful at that time and the two surviving sons of God who had participated in the conquest were present at the banquet, and the rest of the nobles were destroyed, and those who were fighting were busy with the conquest, and the people present were secretive, bringing this negotiation of the division of interests that existed in name only, and hastily drew an end.

At this time, although the nobles who could be present were all evil intentions, they all understood a truth, if they wanted to be sure that they had obtained the legitimacy of their interests as soon as possible, then they should end the meeting as soon as possible...

So, under the support of the four most powerful families, under the recognition of the divine right represented by the two sons of God, and under the witness of the human rights represented by all the nobles present, an ordinary child suddenly stepped to the pinnacle of power - the seventh king was established...

In the process of swearing allegiance, the nobleman Murong, who had just finished the battle, hurriedly went to the banquet, he had just conquered the Hu family against him, replacing the ram and becoming the fourth largest family. As a result, the appearance of Murong gave legitimacy to Murong's family identity, and so far, thirty nobles and two sons of gods, a total of thirty-two heroes in the world, officially supported the seventh generation of kings supported by the four major families...

The era of the Seven Kings began...
