Chapter 149: Folding the Sword
The cliff of death is in front of them, and despite their best struggles, they are still bound to die.
The life of a mortal is so small, a hundred years of glory is fleeting, and the first half of his life goes with the flow, seeking his own place in the tide of society, but even so, just trying to live has tormented most people to exhaustion.
In the second half of their lives, the erosion of time climbed up the gradually aging body, and when they had some understanding of life, they no longer had the impulse of the year.
When Hua was old, looking back on his life, he found that there was nothing worth recalling, at this time, even if there was more unwillingness, time had come to an end.
Just like now, I don't want to, but I can't help myself.
The coloured waters of the lake tumbled even more violently, as if something was about to burst out.
Gradually, the sharp horns, sharp wings, and huge claws leaped out of the water, and just a small part of the body had greatly surpassed the body of an ordinary human.
The churning water of the lake continued to pour onto the shore, and perhaps the life force of the sacrifice was saturated at this time, and when these giant beasts came to prominence, the mad sacrifice also stopped.
The husband and wife, who had stepped on the red thread and survived, trembled with fear, but they did not dare to make too much movement or make any noise, lest anyone find out about their strange appearance.
Except for the blue lake, there was no movement, and there seemed to be eight huge beasts standing in the other eight lakes. On their bodies, colorful lake water poured down from them like waterfalls, and the breath from distant times instantly filled the entire deep pit.
They just stood there like statues, and the people below were already kneeling down and bowing to them.
Poor Qi, 梼杌, Singing Snake, Kui Niu...... Except for Xiang Liu, who had been completely defeated, all the fierce beasts that Qingya had seen in the Mo Family's Nine Fierce Devouring Soul Array were here, and after absorbing a large amount of vitality, they were created again, and with the resentment of being defeated last time, they launched revenge on Qingya.
Above the deep pit, a figure stepped on the void and slowly walked to the top of the center of the nine lakes, and under his black robe, a bright yellow dragon pattern was revealed.
In the palm of his hand, eight metal spheres corresponding to the color of the lake appeared on various totem patterns, if Qingya was here, he would definitely be able to recognize these eight spherical metal objects, exactly the same as the core obtained in Qi Qi's body at that time.
I never thought that the Mo family had spent decades of time and countless people's efforts to create only one core, but it was completely manufactured in the hands of the Son of Heaven.
The core manufacturing process is not the only one in the world, but how to make the already very diluted beast blood stimulate the body functions left by the ancient fierce beasts, and even activate the bloodlines of the fierce beasts and awaken their souls, this is a problem that the Mo family has been unable to solve.
He had been laying out this bureau for a long time, more than 50 or 7 years ago, when he had not yet succeeded to the throne, when he was made the crown prince by the former emperor and announced that the world would be succeeded by him, he was already prepared for the upcoming 300-year catastrophe.
In contrast to the previous emperor, he was unwilling to be at the mercy of fate, and he did not believe that the so-called sword of calamity could reverse the catastrophe. On the contrary, he believed that the reason why the catastrophe befell the land of Fuxia was precisely because of the birth of this person who should be robbed.
Therefore, as long as this sword of calamity is removed, then all the calamities will naturally disappear, and the people who should be calamated are gone, so what will the calamity do?
Once such an idea has a sprout, the fire in his heart will burn more and more, until it blinds his eyes, and then he successfully inherited the throne and is at the top of the world's power, which also gives him the possibility of implementing the plan.
In the first year of his ascension to the throne, in the main hall of succession, all nations came to the court, and among the congratulatory gifts sent by the tribes on the snowy plateau in the west, there was a bottle of residual blood from ancient beasts.
When he saw the vial of blood, he knew that Heaven had sent him the opportunity he had been thinking about day and night. He divided this bottle of beast blood into two, kept one for himself, and one along with a holy decree, and returned to the paradise outside the gate with the envoy of the Mo family who returned to the city.
Since then, while collecting the blood of ancient beasts everywhere, he has painstakingly studied the mechanism technique, I have to say that this Son of Heaven's knowledge is really talented, coupled with the peak support of a country's financial resources, in just a few years, he has collected another eight kinds of beast blood.
While continuing to restore the body of the Mo family to the beast, he absorbed the results of the Mo family's research, and not long after the Mo family successfully developed a core by mistake, he had already copied the remaining eight cores out of the blue.
But beasts with no blood and body are incomplete, and they need to absorb more power to strengthen themselves.
At first, the Son of Heaven just released Xiangliu to absorb the emotions in the hearts of the people, but such a dose was far from the extent of stimulating the genes of these alien beasts.
After some hesitation, he finally decided to use the wisdom and life of humans as nourishment to sacrifice to them in their slumber.
At the beginning, he just used the people in the prison for serious crimes, they deserved to die, and they used their lives to make a little contribution to the salvation of Fuxia, and they were considered to have died as deserved, the Son of Heaven told himself.
Later, as more and more foreign beasts were revived and their consciousness became more and more sober, the number of repeat offenders was no longer enough, so those mortals who did not commit crimes to death were also pulled into the whirlpool of sacrifices, but the number was still not enough.
At this time, the emperor had hesitated, he thought about stopping at that, but he had already filled in so many lives, and now he stopped it, wouldn't it be a waste of his previous efforts?
Moreover, this was already the only way for him to achieve his own salvation of the world, and after thinking about it again, he ordered to severely punish the evil deeds in the whole territory, and issued a quota for the prisoners to be escorted to Beijing. Whether it is murder and arson, or petty theft, they are all taken to the prison as a sacrifice for the awakening of foreign beasts.
For a while, the people of the world were panicked, and they were always cautious, and even accidentally bumped into others on the road, and both sides bowed again and again and apologized to each other.
It was only in recent years, when the number of sacrifices became saturated, that this trend ceased. In the intervening decades, hundreds of thousands of people have walked into the depths of the prison and never returned.
The unlucky husband and wife Ye Zhongtao and Ning Tongyue were pulled closer to the sacrificial queue after encountering trumped-up charges, but fortunately God had mercy on them, so they picked up a life.
After sacrificing enough life force, everything is ready, and only the east wind is owed.
Blindly relying on the set routine, even if the restored beasts have great strength, they are just beasts that only know how to use brute force, and to make the flames of hatred ignite in their hearts, only the thought of getting rid of the target is left in their minds, which can exert all their power.
There is no need to be in a hurry in this matter, the sword of calamity will enter Chang'an City one day sooner or later.
On the day of Tanabata this year, when he sensed that the released Xiangliu had been destroyed, he realized that someone had come to find him.
Later, Wanlongling Yanlongmu brought a young man from the skyfall, so that the military god tasted the first defeat in his life, when he stood on the roof of Hanyuan Hall and watched his figure from afar, the last sentence of the prophecy is a sword in the fairy mountain, and it is more confirmed that today's visitors are the sword of the prophecy, and this day is really coming.
After decades of hard work, witnessing that the day of his great cause was approaching, the hundred-year-old emperor could not help but be nervous and excited, he covered his ambitions with his tired body, and carried out the final stage of the plan in an orderly manner.
He released the core of Qi Qi to be defeated by Qingya, one is to make Qi Qi resentful of him, and the other is to test the sword of calamity.
He arranged a flawless Skynet waiting for his arrival, and the Son of Heaven couldn't hold back his competitive spirit and wanted to have a confrontation with Qingya in advance.
If he can unlock the core mechanism, he will go to the Mo family outside the gate under the guidance of the agency and enter his next plan. If he can't solve it, he will also give a simpler clue, and he also confirms that the prophesied sword of calamity is just a wine bag and a rice bag, and it is not enough to worry about.
But contrary to the Son of Heaven's expectations, Qingya unlocked the core mystery in just one night, of course, the mystery is naturally impossible for outsiders to know.
In the eyes of Qingluo, who can gain omniscience and omnipotence, no knowledge from the past can stump her, and what she does not know is a future that transcends the time limit.
After that, they really went to Guanwai according to the plan they had set, but they didn't know what they encountered in the Polar Ridge, the Mo family had not heard the news for a long time, and the Son of Heaven even thought that they had died in the Polar Ridge like this, which made him a little happy and a little disappointed.
Rejoice that the sword of calamity is dead, and that calamity will naturally not come again, and what is lost is that his decades of hard work, which cost hundreds of thousands of lives, are useless in the end.
Just when he was in a quandangle, the Mo family finally came with the news that the Nine Fierce Soul Devouring Array had been broken, and all the strange beasts were destroyed in the hands of Qingya, and the Son of Heaven breathed a sigh of relief.
Everything was still running according to his plan. Now, all the alien beasts have been defeated at his hands, which also ignites the seeds of hatred in their hearts, and when they wake up again, the alien beasts that are already fully formed will launch a surging revenge on Qingya.
The Son of Heaven hung in the air, threw the eight cores in his hand into the corresponding lake, the lake was illuminated by the nine-colored light, and was absorbed into their bodies like a long whale absorbing water, and when the last drop of lake water was absorbed, the eyes of the eight-headed beast lit up together.
This time, he wanted to break the sword of calamity with his own hands, shattering the prophecy that had plagued Fuxia for three hundred years.
