Chapter 1644: Beware of Chang'an City!
"I don't know what kind of existence the Cthulhu gods you are talking about, but there is no doubt that the [Covenant] also has a limit."
Chloe said seriously, "First of all, the [covenant] can only be applied to the person who made it, and cannot be extended to a third party...... For example, borrowing and repaying ten taels of silver is an agreement between me and you, and no matter how things develop in the process, it will only revolve around you and me.
But if I make a [covenant] with you and ask Zhang San to repay you ten taels of silver at noon tomorrow, I can't do it, because Zhang San is not involved in this [covenant].
In the same way, I cannot make a covenant with you to decide the life or death of another person or race...... Unless, I make a covenant with them myself to destroy themselves, but they are unlikely to agree. ”
"In addition to this, in order to initiate the Covenant, it takes a lot of faith to ...... I don't know what the other two covenants are, but just going back in time over two thousand years would require an extremely terrifying amount of faith.
This covenant alone may take me hundreds of years to gather faith before I can send you back at some point in the future. ”
Lin Qiye fell into deep thought.
Covenants can only be used by the person who made them, and activating them requires the power of faith to be consumed.
No wonder Yeeland chose Chloe as her agent...... The rumored 001 is indeed infinitely close to omnipotence, but without the support of the power of faith, it is difficult to exert its powerful power, and Chloe's special physique, which can make the surrounding creatures unconsciously believe in her, can perfectly match this ability.
If you want to exert the stronger power of the Covenant, you must create a super-large religion to provide a steady stream of faith for Yelander and Chloe, and it is likely that the Western Holy Religion was born from this.
But in this era, the Holy Religion does not seem to have appeared...... In other words, at this time, Yeland's strength was far from reaching the peak level, and it was naturally impossible to seal the gods of the Ke system.
"And how do I get back?"
"I don't know." Chloe reluctantly spoke, "This [covenant] is only responsible for sending you back, how you go back is none of its business...... Say it up front, I simply don't have enough faith right now to take you back two thousand years later.
In this day and age, the only thing that can send you back may be the second covenant. ”
Lin Qiye looked down at the second mark on his chest, his expression a little complicated.
If, as Chloe said, sending him back to the Covenant of 2,000 years ago would require the accumulation of hundreds of years of faith, then even if Chloe could send him back now, it would have to wait until hundreds of years later...... The only thing he can count on now is the content of this second [covenant], which is his return ticket from the Western Han Dynasty to modern times.
"The curfew is about to start, and you should go back." Chloe spoke slowly.
Lin Qiye glanced at the sky outside, it was almost completely dark, and those red stars hung high in the night sky, and the light of one of them was particularly dazzling.
"You're all going to stay in Chang'an for the next few days, right?" Lin Qiye asked.
"Well, when the effects of those stars have subsided, we'll leave for the next place, and if you have any problems, come back here and find me."
Lin Qiye nodded, and walked outside the house.
After talking to Chloe, Lin Qiye had already figured out a lot of things, his name appeared in the Han Dynasty scroll in the night watchman's highest secret, and the future Chloe chose him to conclude the [Holy Covenant], as well as the words that Huo Qubing told him when he was under the ground of the National Fortune Island...... All of this points to an intersection between him and the Western Han Dynasty.
However, Lin Qiye hasn't figured out clearly, is his behavior in this period of history doomed? Is what he does an inherent part of history, or will it directly change the course of the future?
Is it the "cause" of the past that creates the "effect" of the future, or is it the "cause" of the future that changes the "effect" of the past?
The causal relationship between the past and the future is like a messy ball of threads, which makes Lin Qiye's mind swell, but more questions are still jumping out of his mind.
Then the future Chloe, why did she spend hundreds of years collecting faith and send him to the Western Han Dynasty?
Is it related to those red stars? Or do you want him to change something in this day and age?
Just as Lin Qiye was thinking hard, a series of terrible screams suddenly broke through the silence and echoed under the sky of Chang'an!
Lin Qiye turned his head to look, only to see that near the city gate of Chang'an, a fire was already raging, and the sky-high flames reflected the night sky, and screams continued to sound from the city.
What happened?
The evil has come to the city?
Lin Qiye frowned, ignoring the rules of the curfew, and directly turned into an afterimage and rushed towards the direction of the firelight.
At the speed of Lin Qiye, crossing most of Chang'an was just a matter of breathing, the wind whistled in his ears, and after a while, he saw that before the raging fire, the two centaurs were fighting wildly!
The costumes of these two groups are not the same, one of them is dressed by Lin Qiye, who is a member of the 30,000 expeditionary army that returned to Chang'an with Huo Quai, and the other group is wearing special armor, like the Yulin Army already stationed in Chang'an.
At this city gate, the number of expeditionary armies is far more than that of the Yulin Army, each of them holding weapons, swarming through the city gate, staring at the Yulin Army shuttling through the battlefield, as if they are red-eyed, and they roar while reaping the lives of the Yulin Army without hesitation.
The corpse of a Gu Yulin army fell, and the blood suddenly stained the corner of Chang'an, and their defense line was directly torn open by the expeditionary army, and they were defeated and retreated, and a large number of expeditionary troops had successfully broken through the city and rushed towards the city of Chang'an.
Different from the angry expressions of the expeditionary force, the expressions of these Yulin soldiers were full of astonishment and horror, and they seemed to be unable to understand why the expeditionary force suddenly attacked the city.
Seeing this, Lin Qiye's brows furrowed, and his figure crashed directly into the battlefield, holding a long brother of the expeditionary force with his bare hands.
This soldier Lin Qiye knew, when he escorted the army back to Chang'an in the tail, the other party also said a few words to him, in Lin Qiye's impression, he was a relatively quiet man, but now he seemed to be red-eyed, and his expression was extremely hideous.
"What are you doing here? Who made you rebel?! Lin Qiye asked in a deep voice.
"Rebellion? Lord Lin, we didn't rebel! The soldier's eyes widened, he stretched out his hand covered with blood, and pointed at Chang'an City behind Lin Qiye, "Lord Lin! Hide behind us! Watch out for the Yulin Army and the people in Chang'an City!
They...... They've all been replaced by monsters!! They are not human at all!! ”
