379. Ancient Mysteries, Falling Heaven
Chapter 389 379.Ancient Secrets, Falling to Heaven
The area around Ba Fu's body was filled with an astonishing vastness of divine power, and every word he uttered was like an edict from the Creator, echoing in the palace endlessly, causing everyone standing in front of the rune pillar to unconsciously bow their heads and listen intently.
But in Dean's opinion, the aura of this Lord of Midianism is not even as strong as his own heyday.
What is even more tragic is that the weakness that cannot be concealed, the twilight of the sunset lingers on his ancient body.
A row of sharp feet thrust into his spine and tied to a stone pillar, and his divine power continued to drip into the fountain of blood below, far faster than the nocturnal energy in Midian.
He is like a captive animal, exploited and plundered every minute until the oil runs out.
Ba Fu also seemed to understand his bad situation, his deep gaze swept over the group of Monica and the high priest who bowed their heads and did not dare to make a sound, there was no trace of arrogance of the gods looking down on human beings, only calm, gentle and tolerant, and finally looked at Dean who was the only one who looked up, and for a moment it seemed to see all his past life through the barrier of time.
"Dean Lu, I've been following you for less than two years, but you have surpassed the accumulation of most of the thousands of years of existence, and you have the strength of no less than a god, this is an out-and-out miracle."
Dean calmly met Baphren's scrutiny, and said in a deep voice, "Lord of Midian, I am not here to listen to your feelings and compliments... I want a definitive answer, why do I have to be one of the seven children of destiny to join your program? What exactly is the end of your mouth? β
No one has asked for thousands of years about the gods they worship so directly.
High Priest Resber and several children of fate around him suddenly glared at Dean with dissatisfaction.
But Paphra only soothed them with his eyes,
"Dean, you've been to Leviathan Hell, and you've probably heard that from that guy or the Priest of Hell. Once upon a time, there was an unprecedented apocalyptic crisis on Earth, a divine war waged by God to be exact, although the world survived in the end... But in the midst of the fierce battle, countless native gods fell, or were imprisoned, transformed, and suffered heavy losses and fled to other worlds. β
Dean bowed his head, and the High Priest of Nailhead had said that.
"I was imprisoned in Midian, and suffered a long period of plunder... Gods such as Vader, Asura, Lord of Hell of Leviathan, Lucifer, Quetzalcoatl, Coyote Coty, and others fled to the other world to hibernate and gather strength. β
Dean asked, "So God imprisoned you?" β
Baph was silent for a moment, and just as everyone's hearts were about to burst out of their chests,
"God is no longer God, He has killed a great number of angels and gods who have not obeyed His will, and has abandoned the creed that he has followed since the beginning of his life, and the believers who worship Him, so that Heaven has lost its whiteness and sanctity, and has fallen into an abyss of plunder, devouring, and chaos..."
"And after God won the Divine War, he cooperated with the gods of his camp and the huge divine power of the angel army under him to create two iron laws that cannot be broken on the main earth - the law of convergence and the law of inhibition."
"The two iron laws constantly manipulate the gathering of supernatural creatures, catalyzing them to reproduce, kill, destroy and other activities in order to plunder their escaping energy, emotions, and souls..."
Ba Fu Zhen's voice was high-pitched, and the blood fountain beneath his feet was boiling and bubbling.
"They did not hesitate to create natural and man-made disasters such as the Black Death, wars, witch hunts, floods, and spatial overlap to harvest human civilization that multiplied and grew at a terrifying speed."
"They have turned the whole world into a hunting ground, and all the races that live on the earth, including you, Dean, are nothing more than their domesticated prey, their toys to be kneaded, and the lambs in their pens."
"The stronger we are, the more terrible the world is to plunder us. When you go any further and continue to stay on earth, God will personally take action to imprison you and exploit you for eternity. β
When Christine and the others heard this dark myth, they only felt a cool breath rise from their tail vertebrae, and the shock in their hearts suppressed the awe of the gods.
God and a group of fallen gods created the law of convergence and inhibition, and created diseases and disasters to harvest humanity?
Shouldn't this be the crime of the legendary demons of hell?
β¦β¦
Dean's face was gloomy, and it was precisely because of the ubiquitous predatory power that he was extremely restrained in his nocturnal posture and delayed receiving his reward.
"But what about the cause of that incident, why did the gods of God's camp suddenly start a war? This is even more evil than the fall of the angels. Dean asked again,
Paphra stared into his eyes, a deep haze appeared on his pale face, "After so many years of confinement, I have also developed a certain connection with God, and I can clearly feel that there is a powerful force awakening from his body, which deeply affects him and those gods. β
"This is the source of their fall."
"This force is greater than all the forces I have ever seen, and even older than our universe. If I had to say it, it was darkness, chaos, nothingness itself! β
"For more than a thousand years, under the feeding of God's camp, this power has grown stronger and stronger, and the slow laws of convergence and suppression can no longer satisfy its appetite."
"The hunting ground has also been cultivated to the limit by it, all kinds of supernatural events are endless, disasters are frequent, and the extraction of me is becoming more and more fierce, this is an omen!"
Paffer snorted, and wisps of blood flew behind him, outlining an empty and dead world in midair, "It is about to devour the world." β
"Earth, this ripe fruit, is just the first bite."
"Then it will invade and devour the nearest hell, the upside-down world, the original land, the misty world, and other worlds from the world."
"I know you have the art to manipulate time and space, but this ability is currently too weak for you to escape to other multiverses, and if we don't destroy this power before it grows, we won't be able to escape the catastrophe."
β¦β¦
The dignified God will be manipulated by a force and begin to devour the world in a frenzy.
How powerful should this be?
Dean looked at Baph's face, "How can I be sure you haven't exaggerated?" β
"I remember you have a special ability, let's confirm it for yourself." Paffer turned to his right shoulder, and a drop of pale golden blood broke through the skin and flew in front of Dean, glittering, revealing a tempting fishy sweetness, Dean couldn't help but open his mouth to swallow and start licking his memory.
The boiling energy ran through his body, making his cheeks flush as if he were drunk.
A large number of magnificent images passed through my mind.
The Battle of the Fallen of the Ages.
Ancient figures shattered into powder, sliced through the void and fled, while the stars fell from the firmament, time ceased to exist, and the charred and carbonized ground shook and sank into the raging Black Sea, leaving only the earth in the dead silence and the darkness of eternal calamity.
A few black shadows waved their wings and rose into the middle of the dead sky, reigning over the earth.
Bapho was hung from the rune stone pillar, and seven clusters of light were drained.
After a long time, Dean rubbed his swollen temples and opened his eyes, "How can I stop them?" β
"First cut off the Seven Pillars and free me from captivity. I swear by my real name and the source of my power that I will do everything in my power to give all of you present and your loved ones a chance to survive the apocalypse. β
After Ba Fu extinguished his promise, Dean felt some kind of dark power fly into his body, and Christine and the others also moved, as if they felt something.
"Come in now," Paphra said, looking at the blood-colored fountain tumbling beneath his feet, "this is the sea of blood, the bottom of which leads to another world, the boundary line of the fallen heavens, where you will face the minions of God, ordinary angels. β
"This kind of angel clearly reveals its form, has a pair of wings on its back, and its ability is mainly to affect the mind, which is not stronger than the regular level 6. Seven of them are guarding the seven pillars that bind me, and by killing them and cutting off them, I will be freed. β
Paphra exhorted expectantly,
"But don't go deep into the boundary line and alarm the two pairs of winged seventh-level angels inside the heavens, or even the three pairs of winged eighth-level angels."
And level 8?
Dean rubbed his chin and fell into a deep groan, level 6 he is not difficult to solve, and the newly promoted intermediate mirror shield specialty should be able to resist the angel's ability to affect his sanity.
Level 7, he can fight.
At level 8, he intuitively had no chance of winning.
However, if he receives the blood reward, his strength will definitely leap, and no matter how bad it is, he can put Lu Guangming into the fantasy space and escape back.
He immediately made a decision in his mind, and a bright red prompt flashed before his eyesβtriggering the event "Dark Paradise"
Paphra reveals to you the secrets of the "Divine Wars", the fall of the gods and the heavens, the law of convergence, and the law of inhibition, and asks you to lead the six children of destiny into heaven to cut off the Seven Pillars and return him to freedom.
Event difficulty: Hell
Progress: (1%)
Reward: A specific event, rewarded with divinity points.
β¦β¦
"Be prepared to sacrifice." Ba Fu looked at the dark prison behind everyone and at the bottom of the underground kingdom, "Nine out of ten of the former children of destiny will remain in it forever, and the few who escaped back have also been polluted by the power of heaven and degenerated into berserkers who have lost their minds and only know how to kill and eat. β
"It turns out that the berserkers of Midian, who have gone crazy, are the children of destiny who have gone crazy, and they are all level 6." A hint of abruptness flashed in Dean's eyes, and he looked at Lu Guangming and the crocodile mouth, "Except for me, they are not yet level 6, wouldn't it be self-defeating to enter heaven?" β
"I'll give you one last layer of security." Ba Fu took a deep breath and looked at the pool of blood under his feet, and Lu Guangming and the six of them were stunned and raised their legs and jumped in.
The warm blood fountain rolled over a sturdy body, and the scales, horns, claws, and various inhuman features were watered more and more obviously, and their momentum continued to rise, and in just a few seconds in front of Dean, they went from the peak of level 5 to level 6.
But their eyes became calm, and their nocturnal belligerent instincts were gone, as if they had changed from reckless warriors to sane assassins in an instant.
"Come in, Dean." Lu Guangming beckoned to him,
Sensing no danger, Dean jumped into the fountain of blood, wisps of heat penetrating his skin and flowing into his limbs.
A line of hints flashes through the system - you have received the gift of Baphren, and the power of the Nocturnal Stance is increased: 50% β 60% (capped), 10% will decreasedβ 20% stronger will.
β¦β¦
The astonishing energy of the seven children of destiny diffused uncontrollably, condensing black shadows behind them.
Papho's face became pale as paper, the skin under the cyan cloak was almost transparent to reveal blood vessels and muscles, and his breath was further weakened, as if he was terminally ill.
"Ludian, Lu, Rand, Siffer... Dive into the fallen heaven, when you regret, fear, and feel that you can't complete the challenge, then return with me to meet your fate calmly. β
With a crocodile mouth, a yin and yang face and a cold white tooth grin, a fierce man dived to the bottom of the water.
Dean glanced at the shadow behind him, the excited "Shoal" in his trouser pocket, exchanged a firm look with Lu Guangming, who was covered in blood, and finally waved his hand to Christine, Monica, and Sean who were standing outside the fountain, "Guys, take care of yourself." β
After speaking, he plunged into the deep and gloomy pool.
Fiddling with blood-colored liquid.
Endless diving.
"Dean, wait for me!" A trace of nervousness flashed across the face of Christine by the pool, and she shouted and rushed to the blood fountain, but was stopped by Grand Elder Resper, "If you have to follow, it will only attract angels and endanger their safety." β
"Are we just standing here and waiting stupidly without doing anything?" Boone snorted rough air in his nose and clenched his fists and roared,
"Come here, boys, you have an important mission." The Baphosan on the stone pillar looked down at several people, and the invisible power gently soothed the anger and eagerness in their hearts, "Now trigger the runes and imprints on my body to help me contact Lucifer, Beelzebub, Leviathan... The rest of the Lords of Hell..."
"There's no time for these old guys to keep hiding."
Bafvo's complex voice, full of resentment and nostalgia, echoed through the palace.
β¦β¦
Crash.
I don't know how long it took.
The blood-colored surface of the water burst open, and heavy liquid poured to the ground.
Dean emerged from the bottom of the narrow, dimly lit pool of blood and stood in a vast and unique space with the six children of destiny beside him.
The cold wind sent the foul smell of corruption, depravity, and aluminum ash, and as far as the eye could see, they seemed to be standing above the majestic dark clouds, surrounded by an array of unpredictable and viscous colors like auroras, and then all of this dissolved into an unfathomable abyss of darkness, in which countless deeper black mist and phantoms of the moon and stars swirled loosely.
Seven pillars glowing with a dim red light towered over the edge of the abyss.
They arrived at Fallen Heaven.
