Chapter 7: The Stars of the Year (2)
After a long, long time, Ah Guan put down his hands and opened his eyes, but he couldn't believe what he saw - there was blood on his hands, blood on his body, on his face, under his feet, on the road, on his houses, on his cars, on the streets, all with blood!
The sky was filled with blood mist and blood rain, and the big ball in the sky was gone, but the clouds were dyed blood red, and the buildings in the city were stained with red, red, black, and black blood.
Passers-by went crazy, and there were passers-by beating each other everywhere. There were people in every store who were destroying and grabbing things, and some people grabbed food and put it in their mouths as soon as they saw it, looking like hungry mad dogs. Cars collided one by one, and when the drivers got out of the car, there was a brawl. There were several explosions, and the buildings began to catch fire, and people fell from the upper floors, and there were wails and roars all around.
Standing on the street, he watched as several men beat up a pregnant woman with a baby in her arms. The child was torn alive and broken into pieces and scattered to the ground; The pregnant woman was stripped of her clothes and covered in blood, and she couldn't move, while several men took turns raping her.
A familiar scream made Ah Guan turn around, and Lin Shan ran out of the store. She fell, struggled to her feet, her right hand covering her left, apparently wounded, and a figure behind her chased after her with a weapon—it was the cheerful boy.
Ah Guan shouted, he saw that the cheerful boy had an extremely hideous face at this time, and he was chasing Lin Shan with a fruit knife in his hand.
Lin Shan's foot was also injured, and she limped forward. Guan wanted to go to her rescue, but his feet were still pinned to the ground, and he couldn't move, so he could only wave his hands and open his mouth wide, not knowing what to do.
Lin Shan ran towards Ah Guan, who stretched out his hand and wanted to pull her. When the distance between the two hands was less than ten centimeters, Ah Guan heard Lin Shan's wail, and the cheerful boy had already pounced, and a knife was inserted into Lin Shan's shoulder, overwhelming her...
"Stop!" Ah Guan desperately wanted to move forward to stop everything that was happening in front of him, but he couldn't move forward a bit, so he could only watch Lin Shan gradually stop moving.
He saw Lin Shan's bright red blood flowing down from the wound and mixing into the black-red blood on the ground.
The cheerful boy finally stopped, stood up like a zombie, and licked the blood-stained knife in his hand. Then go to the others and continue to kill.
Guan crouched on the ground, holding his head, panting, and watched blankly as the cheerful boy killed and then killed.
Gradually, the surroundings fell silent and darkened. Guan found himself in tears, not knowing whether he was scared or sad.
"If you don't want to see this happen, you have to try to stop it." An old voice said this to Guan.
The old man appeared in front of Guan again. Ah Guan raised his head and looked at the old man in front of him with teary eyes. At this time, it was pitch black all around, and Ah Guan could only vaguely see the old man.
Guan wiped his tears and asked, "What's going on, I'm dreaming?" Why...
"It's not a dream, it's an impending catastrophe, and you can think of it as a prophecy." The old man replied.
"I don't understand."
The old man pointed to the sky, and Guan saw some images appear in the sky. It was a square, and it was very large, surrounded by buildings like ancient courts, with palaces, guards, and chess pieces, and the ground was covered with stone slabs engraved with dragons, phoenixes, turtles, and linlins.
In the center of the square is a tripod, which is also very large, almost the size of the surrounding palaces. There is a stone statue next to each of the three feet of the Ding, which are a unicorn, a phoenix and a tiger.
The old man turned his head, looked at the scene in the sky, and was silent for a while before he slowly spoke: "The ancient immortals in the ancient period, after countless failures, finally created the most lively and highest-class beings in this world... The old man especially accentuated the word "person".
"Human beings are extremely intelligent and have infinite potential, they are the best and most extreme beings in this world, and they are the only beings who have the ability to transcend all living beings and rule the entire mortal world in place of the gods. People have compassion, they take care of the weak, they have compassion and kindness. But...," said the old man, paused, and continued—
But there is more evil in the hearts of men...
One person's evil thoughts will affect many people, and everyone will have more or less evil thoughts, which will continue to infect and accumulate, and eventually make people become demons.
In order to suppress the evil of people, the ancient gods created a tripod. This tripod combines thousands of ores from heaven and earth, and has been carefully crafted by heavenly craftsmen to absorb the evil thoughts emanating from living beings.
Just like the garbage dump of your world, this ding is full of the ugliest things in the world. The gods placed the tripod on a star in the distant sky, and everyone called this star "the star of the year".
Therefore, the star of the year has been representing evil, calamity and misfortune for thousands of years.
"I am the immortal who has been in charge of the year star for thousands of years, and everyone calls me 'Tai Sui'." The old man closed his eyes and said slowly.
"Tai Sui..." Ah Guan seemed to understand whether he understood or not, trying to think about this word he had heard but did not understand very well. Naturally, he was clueless, and Ah Guan just blinked and looked at the old man.
The old man looked at the sky, and Ah Guan followed the old man's line of sight and saw that in the scene in the sky, there were indeed bursts of black fog around Dading. The black mist swirled around the tripod, slowly drifting towards the top of the tripod, and when the black mist touched the nine round holes on the lid of the tripod, it was sucked into the tripod at once.
"For thousands of years, I have been regarded as a fierce god by the people, and most of the gods in the heavens do not want to deal with me. In their eyes, the old star is a place that hides dirt and dirt and gathers all the evils in the world, and I naturally can't look down on me who is in charge of the old star..."
"This Tai Sui Ding on the star of the year has been absorbing the evil thoughts of the world for thousands of years, although it cannot completely absorb the evil thoughts, but it also absorbs eight or nine times out of ten, which is enough to keep the good and evil in the world in a peaceful balance."
However, in the past few hundred years, the number of people has grown exponentially, and the evil thoughts in the world have also increased exponentially. About a hundred years ago, a crack appeared on the Tai Sui Ding, and some evil thoughts overflowed from that crack and fell into the world. Mortals were infected by those evil thoughts, and after ten years, an unprecedented catastrophe broke out in the world. ”
"Havoc?" Guan was puzzled.
"In that catastrophe, people killed, people killed, people killed, and mortals killed people except killed." The old man closed his eyes and said slowly—
At that time, the Heavenly Realm spent a lot of effort to repair the crack on the Tai Sui Ding. But it didn't last for twenty years, and three more marks were cracked on the big ding, overflowing with more evil thoughts, and also ten years later, an even greater catastrophe befell the world. Countless people have fought each other, died, suffered, and wept in this catastrophe.
That's purgatory.
The immortals finally recognized the facts, Tai Sui Ding had reached the limit, and he could no longer keep up with the growth of mortals. While we were repairing the Tai Sui Ding, we also started to build a second Tai Sui Ding. The capacity of the second Tai Sui Ding is one million times that of the first one. It is expected to take about 80 years to complete.
But the bad thing is that in the past 50 years, the number of human beings has increased more rapidly and faster, and the evil thoughts that emanate seem to be pouring in.
Just two hundred and sixty-seven days ago, finally, the Tai Sui Ding collapsed and exploded, and the entire Ding exploded, and all the evil thoughts in the Ding erupted outward from the Sui Xing, enveloping the entire Heavenly Court.
What a nightmare.
The influence of evil thoughts is far greater than we think, and more than two-thirds of the immortals are affected by evil thoughts and degenerate into evil gods. These evil gods waged war against the righteous gods, occupying the heavenly court and the four directions of the stars. And those immortals who have not yet been conquered by evil thoughts, protect the unfinished new Tai Sui Ding, and retreat to the world...
When the old man said this, he opened his eyes, looked at Ah Guan and said: "The evil thoughts entrenched in the sky have gradually fallen, and the scale of the evil thoughts this time is dozens of times stronger than the previous two times, and although mortals have physical protection, they can't break out after ten years like the first two evil thoughts overflowed. In a short time, the tragic situation you just saw will come true, the pictures you don't want to see will all be staged, the tragedy of human murder is about to reappear, and purgatory on earth is coming. ”
