Chapter 1091: Temptation from the Heavens
The Sun King, who disappeared thousands of years ago, actually opened a blacksmith shop in the border fortress Red Keep, making kitchen knives and scissors for civilians all day long. Of course, he certainly didn't live in seclusion here all the time, otherwise a blacksmith who could live for thousands of years, a fool would find him unusual.
Why did the Sun King choose to hide in the world, was he already disheartened about breaking through the limit, or did he want to use this way to temper his state of mind and seek a breakthrough? In fact, none of this mattered, anyway, when Ye Zan and his party came to him, an opportunity was already in front of him.
In the face of the Sun King, Ye Zan did not hide the origin of himself and others, and even proved it to the other party with practical actions. After all, the identity of this visitor from outside the world is an important proof to convince the other party, and there is no need to hide anything. Only by making it clear to the Sun King that they are people from outside this world can they continue to talk about things like "breakthrough" and "leaving".
It was not difficult to prove his identity, Ye Zan used the cultivator's refining method to mold a piece of iron billet into a small iron statue in front of the Sun King. It's not that the strong people of this world can't do such a thing, but the people of this world have to use the power of this world. And Ye Zan used his own mana, clearly proving to the other party that he could do it without relying on the power of this world.
And the Sun King, after seeing Ye Zan's actions, actually believed in Ye Zan's identity as a visitor from outside the sky. It's just that while believing in the identity of the other party's visitors, he naturally can't help but be a little more vigilant about the intentions of these visitors.
In most people's hearts, there will always be an instinctive rejection of outsiders, thinking that they must not be happy to come to their place. This is actually a kind of biological instinct of people, just like the territorial concept of lions and tigers, to be wary of all their own kind that invade their territory, in order to ensure their own safety and food sources, etc.
Of course, from the perspective of human beings, to put such a thing in a lofty way, that is, to protect the peace and tranquility of the world.
"What do you want to do?" The Sun King looked at Ye Zan and the others vigilantly, his low tone revealed unprecedented solemnity, as long as Ye Zan answered badly, he would immediately die with him.
Seeing the Sun King put on such a posture, Ye Zan could understand it in his heart, put the statue lightly next to him, smiled and waved his hand, and said: "Don't be so nervous about the Sun King, of course, we came to this world this time, of course, it is not a simple trip to another world, but this will not be a bad thing for you." β
"We?" the Sun King frowned.
"Yes, as far as I know, in this world, you shouldn't be the only one like the Sun King, whose strength has reached the limit of the world's accommodation, right?" Ye Zan responded very calmly.
Ye Zan's response can be regarded as showing the other party from one aspect that his party is not here to make a small fuss, but to do something big enough to affect the whole world. Such things can be good or bad, but listening to the ears of the Sun King, it is more likely to tend to be "bad".
Of course, Ye Zan himself also knew that his response to the other party like this was likely to cause the other party to have a deeper misunderstanding.
However, Ye Zan didn't care too much, anyway, no matter how much misunderstanding there was, as long as it didn't reach the point of causing a fierce conflict, it would still be resolved in the end. On the contrary, it is blindly concealed, and then exposed little by little, although it may make the other party less vigilant at first, but in the end it is more difficult to win the trust of others.
"Then why did you find me first?" the Sun King asked again in a deep voice after a moment of silence.
The peak powerhouse of this world is not the only Sun King, and at the same time, not all of them give up "fame and fortune" like him to live in seclusion. In this world, there are also powerful people who form the so-called "Supreme Council" to guide the direction of the whole world and avoid a recurrence of the dark times like those 10,000 years ago.
In other words, in terms of the difficulty of "visiting", the easiest choice for Ye Zan and others should be to visit those strong people who are on the bright side first, rather than to find the Sun King hiding in the corner.
"Quite simply, you have enough influence, as long as you can convince you, it is equivalent to convincing at least half of the strong people in this world. Ye Zan unabashedly stated his reasons.
This Sun King not only has the great cause of ending the Dark Ages, but also has a very good relationship with other powerhouses of the same level. It can be said that at least half of the strong people that Ye Zan found out from the information were inextricably linked to the Sun King. For example, some are his disciples, some are his brothers, some are his admirers, some are his direct descendants, and so on.
Although, even if the Sun King is convinced, it does not mean that half of the peak powerhouses are really convinced, but at least the other party is more willing to sit down and talk. Faced with the temptation of the "outer world", Ye Zan believed that as long as they were willing to sit down and talk, the final result would not deviate from his expectations.
As for the "Outer World", the peak powerhouses in this small world are probably similar to those Heavenly Supremes in the cultivation world. Just like the cultivation world, the Immortal Court opened the passage of the outer world, and so many Heavenly Supremes of various realms went to the outer world to find an opportunity to break through. For those of them who have reached a limit, having the opportunity to break through this limit is definitely the greatest temptation that can overwhelm all other desires.
"It seems that you did know a lot of things before you came here. However, I don't believe that you would have just wanted to take people like us out of this world with good intentions. "The Sun King is also a person who has lived for tens of thousands of years, even if he was born in such a small world, he would never be naΓ―ve enough to think that Ye Zan and them are purely "helping others".
"Of course, we do this for a purpose!" Ye Zan nodded, not a little embarrassed, and then said: "It's just that this purpose of ours will not allow us to stand on opposite sides, it should be said that it is a matter of mutual benefit." β
Ye Zan's words were not deceitful, although collecting the corpses of demons outside the sky would definitely have an impact on this small world. However, as long as the two sides can sit down and talk, it is not entirely impossible to find other solutions. On the contrary, if the creatures on this side of the small world are determined to stand on the opposite side of Ye Zan, then Ye Zan really has no need to show mercy.
You must know that although Ye Zan is not strong, he has a lot of means to destroy a world. Not to mention, the gene pool he brought from the world of science and technology has many highly contagious and devastating viruses. His personal strength is indeed nothing in this world, but if a small virus is dropped, those indigenous heroes may not really have any way.
"Well, this is not the place to talk, and if you are sincere, come with me. Of course, the Sun King couldn't believe Ye Zan in two sentences, but it was not good to continue to ask questions here, so he proposed to change the place to talk.
After all, this is the residential area of the Red Fort, and the Sun King is worried that if he asks too closely, he may cause a disaster here. As for whether you have enough strength to protect yourself in the face of these visitors alone, this is not such an important issue.
In this way, if the two sides really fight, even if the Sun King has the strength to protect himself, it is impossible to have the ability to protect the civilians around him. And if the Sun King doesn't have the ability to protect himself, and there is no one here who can help him, it may make him unable to do anything.
"Hehe, the Sun King's proposal is exactly what I want to say!" Ye Zan responded with a smile.
Hearing Ye Zan's words, the Sun King didn't say anything more, casually threw the hammer in his hand on the ground, and walked from Ye Zan and the others to the outside of the blacksmith house. Then, he didn't seem to think about hiding his identity anymore, his legs bounced slightly, and in the eyes of so many civilians outside, he flew straight to the outside of the Red Fort like a meteor.
"Brother Ye, he won't be running, right?" Lin Mumu, who had not said much, couldn't help but say with a bit of a joke at this time.
"Of course not, let's follow. Ye Zan shook his head and smiled, and led everyone to turn around and walk out of the blacksmith house, turning into streamers one by one and following in the direction of the Sun King.
However, compared to the Sun King, Ye Zan and the others, as visitors from outside the sky, still hope to be as low-key as possible at present. Therefore, while Ye Zan and the others flew up, they still used a simple trick to hide the vision caused by themselves and others. So much so that the civilians outside the blacksmith house only saw the scene of the Sun King flying away in front of them, but none of them noticed that there was a group of flying people behind them.
Of course, even if it is just a sun king, it is already a very shocking thing for these civilians who have never seen a big scene very often. No one thought that the old blacksmith who had been working silently here for more than ten years would still have the ability to fly to the sky, which is the ability of the legendary big man.
At the same time, the actions of the Sun King naturally attracted the attention of the garrison in the Red Fort, and soon a large group of soldiers, led by several generals, came to the blacksmith house in the civilian area. After listening to the accounts of some eyewitnesses, several generals walked into the blacksmith's house with serious and wary faces, and soon walked out with an iron statue.
In a blacksmith shop, there is such an iron statue of the Sun King, and this blacksmith still has a very strong strength. That's not enough for these people to associate this mysterious blacksmith with the Sun King, who disappeared thousands of years ago. However, such a powerful figure, living in seclusion in this border fortress, and it is said that he has been in seclusion for more than ten years, will inevitably make the garrison of the fortress nervous for a while.
Not to mention what kind of waves the Sun King's departure caused in the Red Keep Fortress, the Sun King and Ye Zan and his party had already arrived in a barren place outside the Red Keep.
The Sun King flew like a meteor, and the movement when he landed was also not small, as if it was a meteor falling to the ground, and the huge impact even stirred up a mushroom cloud. Ye Zan and the others who came later, seeing the Sun King's actions, were a little puzzled for a while, whether the other party did not have enough ability in flight, or wanted to use it to demonstrate.
Of course, regardless of what the other party has planned, Ye Zan's plan remains the same, that is, it is best to use negotiation to resolve all contradictions.
After the Sun King landed, he stood in the middle of a smashed "crater" and turned to look at Ye Zan and his party who came with him. Seeing Ye Zan and the others flying in the sky easily, and then falling lightly in front of him, although the expression on his face did not change, there was a faint trace of envy in his eyes.
"Tell me, what is your purpose?" the Sun King pressed all the emotions in his heart and asked Ye Zan and the others in a deep voice.
Ye Zan glanced around, then looked at the sky, then turned his gaze back to the Sun King, and said, "I don't know what kind of cognition the Sun King has about this world, but do you know the origin of this world?"
The Sun King frowned slightly, and said with a slight displeasure in his heart: "Why, does Your Excellency want to test the origin of my world? Then I can only say sorry, I was born in the Dark Ages, I have neither an aristocratic education, nor have I attended any church school, I am afraid that I will not be able to give Your Excellency a definite answer." β
There is a poem that says, "I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain", this truth can actually be used in many places. No matter how powerful and visionary the Sun King is, even if he is already standing at the pinnacle of this world, as long as he does not jump out of this world, it is difficult to truly understand the origin of this world.
After all, the Sun King was not born with the world, but was just one of the many creatures born in the world after the world evolved and took shape. Unless, he has the ability to get out of this world and really see the world outside the small world, it is possible to know what kind of existence his world is.
"Don't mind the Sun King, we are from outside this world, and we have some ...... about this world It may seem unbelievable to you. The reason why I asked this first is just to understand your understanding of the world, and to think about how to tell you the truth about this world. Ye Zan put on a very sincere attitude and explained to the Sun King without hurry.
"Oh, then you just have to say it, and as for how much I can believe or accept, then I don't have to worry about it. The Sun King said a little strongly, somewhat repulsive to Ye Zan's statement. To him, Ye Zan's statement is like people from the civilized world coming to an ignorant world and telling them that the earth is actually round, that wind and rain are just natural phenomena, and so on, which is somewhat condescending.
