Chapter 713: The Five Gods Are Not Dead Yet
"She was involved in the battle of the Demon Rebellion, and she was wounded a lot, and she fell a month after she made a second ten-year covenant with me."
Lin Qi: "...... Mourning and change."
She paused, and suddenly said, "Since your daughter died after making the second ten-year covenant, what happened to the next ten-year covenant?"
Venerable Shifang's eyes showed a sense of remembrance, "When Yue'er fell, I happened to worship the Zhifang Sect, and I was appreciated by Uncle Wei, and I began to study the formation frantically. During this period, I asked a few brothers and sisters to visit Yue'er."
When the monks of the Fang Sect saw Yin Yue, Yin Yue was already seriously injured, and he only had one breath left on the bed.
Knowing that her mother had entered the Zhifang Sect and had also discovered her formation talent, Yin Yue was sincerely happy for the Venerable of the Ten Directions.
But she knew how much Venerable Shifang loved her, and if she heard the news about herself, she was afraid that she would immediately put down what she was doing and rush to take care of herself.
After careful consideration, Yin Yue begged the senior brothers and sisters of the Zhi Fang Sect to help them conceal it together.
The monks of the Zhifang Sect are also pure and benevolent, and they know that the Venerable of the Ten Directions is in retreat at this moment because he has had an epiphany in the formation line, and if he bothers rashly, he is afraid that it will affect his cultivation and Dao Heart, and it will even cause the Venerable of the Ten Directions to miss the opportunity.
Epiphany, I'm afraid it's hard to get it again in this life.
After discussion between the two parties, it was decided to temporarily conceal the news that Yin Yue was seriously ill.
In order to appease the Venerable Ten Directions, Yin Yue supported her sick body to write ten letters of ten-year covenant in advance, each of which expressed her helplessness and reunited after another ten years.
In order to give the Venerable of the Ten Directions a hope, a reason to support it.
As a daughter, Yin Yue knows the Venerable Ten Directions too well, and she also understands how strong a mother's desire is to shelter her child from the wind and rain.
As long as you give Venerable Shifang a hope, although Venerable Shifang will have regrets, he will continue to work hard for the reunion in ten years, climbing up little by little, just so that when he sees him again, he can protect his daughter under his wings.
In this way, ten years have passed one after another, and a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Venerable Shifang was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "Actually, I had already guessed that Yue'er was gone."
Lin Qi listened quietly.
"But the entire Formation Master Peak is trying to tell me the news that Yue'er is still alive, so I can only pretend not to know."
"Master, senior brothers, and senior sisters will help me bring something back every time they pass by Lunan Mountain, or a brief greeting letter, or a southern branch of Lunan Mountain, or a blessing bracelet from Lunan Mountain...... And they said, All that is what Yue'er asked for me."
Lunan Mountain is the location of Yin Yue's cultivation, this place is rich in southern trees, there is a long-lived Tiannan tree, it is rumored that after praying for blessings, you can keep safe.
In order to protect the Heavenly Path of the Venerable of the Ten Directions, the entire Formation Master Peak took great pains to actively create the news that Yin Yue was still alive.
For the sake of Yin Yue, and for the sake of the hundreds of people up and down the Supreme Fang Sect Formation Peak, the Venerable of the Ten Directions did not dare to know the truth, so he could only take the letter and gift happily as if Yin Yue was still alive.
Both sides are hiding from each other, and they are both deceiving themselves.
In this way, a hundred years passed peacefully, and the war of the five gods came quietly.
"At first, it was the five gods who summoned the strong people from all continents to fight, but in the later stage, the battle spread more and more widely, and there were fewer and fewer people who volunteered to participate in the war, so they began to catch strong men."
"Catch the strong guys?" Lin Qi was stunned for a moment, "Didn't you say that in the Battle of the Five Gods back then, the five continents all wanted to occupy more resources and take the initiative to fight for their own interests?"
Once the battle for resources is involved, a small war will turn into a war on the five continents, not to mention the five gods taking the lead, which shows how fierce the battle was back then.
"Voluntary? Do you think it's possible?" Venerable Ten Directions let out a rare sneer.
Lin Qi fell silent.
In fact, when she learned the ins and outs of the Five Gods War, she also felt that there were many doubts.
For example, if the War of the Five Gods is for resource competition, what resources are being competed for?
Every year, there is no writing on the surface of the five-continent competition, but it will be recorded in the specific resource division within the five-continent alliance.
The goal is clear, and only then can there be a situation where the arms are raised and the eight parties respond.
Even if Zhongzhou wants Dongzhou's territory, this is a specific statement, not a vague summary of resources.
If you study it more closely, you will find that this so-called war seems to be caused purely by the personal grudges of the five gods?
None of the five gods obey anyone, and in the end it can only be decided through battle.
It's not enough to fight on your own, you have to form a gang and gather a large number of people to participate in the battle, so as to look a little imposing.
If you follow Lin Qi's conjecture, you will be able to understand what Venerable Shifang said about catching strong men.
Venerable Ten Directions: "We are just ordinary monks, we only want one side to be calm and concentrate on cultivation, who will take the initiative to participate in a battle of will?"
"The Zhifang Sect was the largest sect in Dongzhou at that time, and it was the first to be targeted. My Master, Senior Brother...... Thirteen disciples of the same lineage, all of them died in that battle."
Lin Qi was sorting out her chaotic thoughts, and after a while, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"If you are against the War of the Five Gods, then what about the Five Gods Tower?"
The five god towers recorded on various continents are all said to be the decisive battle of the five gods in that year, and they all ended up together.
After the fall of the five gods, they turned into five divine towers, protecting the souls of all the monks who died tragically in the decisive battle?
If the war was caused by the five gods and implicated the monks of the five continents, how could they take the initiative to turn into the five divine towers to protect the souls of those gods who died tragically?
Venerable of the Ten Directions: "...... Oh, what is the origin of the Five Divine Pagodas that you have heard of?"
Lin Qi said what he knew.
Venerable Ten Directions fell into a long silence.
It took so long that Lin Qi could see the wordless words on her face before she spoke: "Then let me tell you, what about the complete opposite?"
Lin Qi nodded seriously, "I believe your words."
Venerable Shifang chuckled lightly and slowly shook off the truth of the year.
"Back then, the five gods relied on not being bound by the way of heaven, and they were rampant and domineering, showing off their might...... In their eyes, the five continents are just a place under their control. They caused the flames of war, and burned the flames of war to every corner of the five continents, and the entire five continents became purgatory on earth, and the people were not able to make a living, and we did not want to sit idly by and become puppets controlled by the five gods, and we made an appointment to sacrifice ourselves on the occasion of the decisive battle to suppress the five gods."
"This Five Gods Pagoda is not a five-god incarnation god, but a formation formed by hundreds of Venerables on the five continents."
After absorbing too much news at once, Lin Qi couldn't react.
"Repression?"
Her heart was beating a little fast, "Does that mean the five gods aren't actually dead?"
Venerable Ten shook his head, "I don't know. They broke through the Mahayana and became gods, and they were not even controlled by the Heavenly Dao of the Cangwu Realm, how could they die so easily? Even if the body is destroyed, I am afraid that the soul will also remain."
