Chapter 1257 Stop the war
Kill the Saint!
Following the six saints Taiqing, Yuqing, Jieyin, Zhunti, Houtu and Duobao, the seventh saint in the prehistoric era was born!
This is a saint who belongs to the demonic path. He became enlightened by killing. The meaning of his existence is to bring disaster to all living beings. In order to let everyone know that the power of God is unpredictable.
When the Killing Saint was born, there was a lot of commotion, and even many strong men showed incredible expressions.
Because they really didn't expect that the new saint would come from the devil's path.
In today's prehistoric times, Taoism is still the dominant one. And the demonic way is not even as good as the Buddhist way. If heaven had not allowed the demonic way to disappear, they would have been destroyed by Taoism long ago.
Under such circumstances, the devil actually gave birth to a saint, which can be imagined as a shock to people.
"The Saint of Killing, the descendant of the Demon Lord Yuanshi, is quite reasonable."
Jiang Chen was not too surprised, because this was expected.
The meaning of the existence of saints is to promote the evolution of heaven and earth and maintain the order of heaven and earth. Therefore, the standpoint of saints is never on the side of sentient beings, but on the other side of heaven and earth. They must act from the standpoint of heaven and earth.
Once you understand this, you know that the birth of a demonic saint is inevitable.
Slaughtering all living beings is a great sin for all living beings, but it is a great merit for heaven and earth. Because after the death of all living beings, their origins return to heaven and earth, which can promote the evolution of heaven and earth.
The new demon saint understood this, so he slaughtered the monks in the chaos, in order to gain insight into the secrets of heaven and obtain the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
Of course, after becoming a saint, the Demon Saint's killing methods become much more advanced. He no longer does it himself, but controls the fate of heaven and earth to kill monks.
For example, the Demon Saint sets up the inner demon calamity to lure monks who are not firm in their Taoism to become demons, and use their hands to slaughter other living beings.
Just like in times of great chaos, the Demon Saint uses his magical powers to amplify the desires in the hearts of ambitious people, and uses their hands to stir up disputes and cause chaos in the world.
All these are the methods of the Demon Saint, whose purpose is to kill the monks and return their origins to heaven and earth.
Before the Demon Saint appeared, these things were all spontaneous operations of heaven and earth, and the effects were often not very good. As a result, the monks accumulated more and more things, and finally turned into calamities.
Heavenly Dao learned from the previous lessons and gave birth to a new holy throne, allowing it to take over this part of the authority and reduce the number of monks for it.
To put it simply, the Demon Saint is the black glove of Heaven, specially designed to do His dirty work.
Don't blame Heaven for targeting monks everywhere. In fact, their existence is unreasonable. Life and death are an important part of the cycle of heaven and earth. There is life and death, and there is reincarnation.
But the monks have life and death, which disrupts the cycle of heaven and earth and disrupts the reincarnation of all living beings. Naturally, the law of heaven must find ways to target them to prevent their number from increasing and squeezing the living space of other living beings.
At the same time, appropriately reducing the number of monks can delay the arrival of calamity and even weaken its power.
In short, for the normal cycle of heaven and earth, the birth of the devil is inevitable.
In fact, a long time ago, some people predicted that the new saint must come from the devil. At that time, everyone thought that the most promising candidate to become a saint was the Demon Lord Yuanshi Tian.
Because the clan of heavenly demons he created is simply a powerful weapon against monks. No matter how high your cultivation level is and how strong your strength is, as long as your state of mind is defective, you will have problems when encountering the heavenly demons.
Therefore, many people thought that as long as Yuanshi Tianzun was given time to grow, he would eventually be able to get rid of Yuanshi Tianzun and achieve the status of a saint.
However, Yuanshi Tianzun did not give Yuanshi Tianzun the time to grow up. Not long after he emerged, he was sealed by Yuanshi Tianzun with great supernatural powers.
The path to sainthood for a generation of demon lords was cut off by the original demon lord.
However, although the holy path of the Yuanshi Heavenly Demon Lord was cut off, it is certain that the new saint must be related to the Heavenly Demon Clan.
As expected, the Demon Saint is a member of the Heavenly Demon clan, the first Heavenly Demon born in the new era, and can be regarded as the descendant of the Yuanshi Heavenly Demon Lord.
Originally, he was not qualified to become a saint. But when Yuanshi Tianzun broke through the realm of creation, he forcibly captured the Yuanshi Tianzun Demon Lord with his great supernatural powers and completely refined him.
At this point, a generation of demon lords has fallen.
After his death, a civil war broke out among the Demon Clan in order to fight for his legacy. There is no doubt that the Demon Saint was the final winner.
Jiang Chen had previously said that he would leave a holy throne for the creatures of the new era. It just so happened that the Demon Saint was the creature born in the new era.
He already had a destiny, and he also received the legacy of the Demon Lord Yuanshi. When these two advantages were added together, the Demon Saint became qualified to become a saint.
"There were ten saints in the ancient world. Seven saints have been born now, and there are still three more to go."
"As for the remaining three saints, their ownership has been determined long ago. There are three saints, one from the human race, one from the Xuanmen race, and one from the Wu race."
"I just don't know when the remaining three saints will return."
Glancing at the Demon Saint, Jiang Chen thought silently. He actually didn't care much about the Saint.
Even in the old era, when the authority of the Emperor of Heaven was not evident, the status of the saints was not as good as that of the Emperor of Heaven, let alone in today's era when the Emperor of Heaven is supreme.
So what if he is a saint? The way of heaven must obey the orders of the emperor, not to mention the saints who are the spokespersons of the way of heaven. They are all ministers of the emperor of heaven.
Of course, Jiang Chen doesn't care who the saint is, but he cares about the number of saints. The more saints, the more complete the world is. Therefore, he is eager to see new saints born.
Fortunately, both the Xuanmen saints and the Wu clan saints can see signs of their emergence. But only the human clan saints have not seen any signs of their emergence.
Jiang Chen set the standard too high. Human saints must become saints through merit, which is almost impossible.
With the current situation of heaven and earth, if you want to obtain enough merit to become a saint, it is obviously not enough to just do good deeds. There is only one way to go, and that is to defeat the Chaos Demon God and dedicate him to the prehistoric era.
But since we are all capable of defeating the Chaos Demon God, what's the use of having the holy position? Isn't this a contradiction?
Therefore, it has become almost impossible to achieve sainthood through merit.
Jiang Chen was in trouble here. He didn't think much about it at the time. He just thought that this method could inspire all living beings to do good, so he made such a request.
But now that I think about it, this request has almost become a piece of cake. It can be seen but cannot be touched. People are so disheartened that they may give up on this holy position.
Also, it's really stupid to ask for it when you know it's not possible. This condition must be changed, but how, Jiang Chen hasn't figured out yet.
…
Although the birth of the Demon Saint caused many ripples in the wilderness, it did not have much impact on the overall situation.
The pattern of the prehistoric era has been decided. It cannot be controlled by a saint, at least it must be a powerful person from chaos like Jiang Chen.
But unfortunately, although the strength of the saint has been strengthened, it is only in the realm of creation, and is still far away from the realm of chaos.
The appearance of the Demon Saint can at most make the Demon Dao live more comfortably and no longer linger. But it is impossible to return to the top.
The ripples caused by the identification of the fragments of the jade dish of creation and the birth of the Demon Christmas gradually returned to calm over a long period of time, and the general trend of the ancient world is still moving forward in a mighty way.
Before we knew it, tens of millions of years had passed.
But even after such a long period of time, peace has not returned to the ancient world, but it has become increasingly chaotic.
The dispute between the parallel time and space and the main world was already extremely fierce, and now the Demon Saint is adding fuel to the flames, making this dispute not only not end with the passage of time, but also intensified.
Almost every once in a while, a parallel world is destroyed, and then a new parallel world is born.
As the two parties went back and forth, they became stronger little by little. The price was the death of countless monks.
Originally, all the powerful men had tacitly approved of the outbreak of this war. It could even be said that they had deliberately promoted it.
But even they didn't expect that this battle would last for such a long time and be so brutal.
The war lasted for tens of millions of years. Although many people benefited, many more people paid a heavy price.
Just like the three thousand Taoist traditions of Xuanmen, although the overall strength has increased, more than two-thirds of the forces among them are severely damaged, and some are even on the verge of extinction.
If Xuanmen is like this, let alone other forces.
Seeing this scene, many powerful men could not sit still. They went to the heaven one after another and asked Jiang Chen to come forward to stop the war.
We can't continue the fight. If we continue to fight, the result will be that the strong will stay strong and the weak will perish!
If this battle can be compared to a game, some people feel that they can't turn the tables, or even lose more as they continue to play, so they are not ready to play.
…
"You fellow Taoists, do you want me to step in and stop the fight?"
In the Lingxiao Palace, Jiang Chen looked at Taiqing Duobao and other saints below and asked uncertainly.
"Yes, I hope your majesty will show mercy and step in to stop the war. How can a war last for tens of millions of years without ending?"
"For thousands of years, the mountains and rivers have been stained with blood, the sky has turned red, and countless people have died tragically. Whether it is for the sake of heaven and earth, or for the survival of the people, this war cannot continue."
Following the sage’s compassionate words.
"Yeah yeah!"
"The war has lasted for too long, and it is time to end. Please show mercy to Your Majesty and step in to stop the war."
Beside the saint, the other saints also echoed.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen didn't change on the surface, but he couldn't help but shake his head in his heart. It's not like these people can't afford to be so compassionate.
Those who appear here today to persuade him to step in and stop the fight are all losers in this war, and there is no real winner.
They wished that this war would continue for tens of millions of years, and then take this opportunity to annex all the forces present. How could they come here to persuade Jiang Chen to stop fighting?
As for the safety of common people?
The common people live in the divine city, but the war takes place in the gap between parallel time and space and the main world. The two have nothing to do with each other. As long as you stay in the divine city honestly, nothing will happen.
But if you are greedy and take the initiative to go to the battlefield between the two realms, who will be blamed if you die?
Those who stay in the divine city are the common people, and those who appear on the battlefield are monks. Whether they can survive depends entirely on their own destiny.
"You fellow Taoists are right. Because of the dispute between parallel time and space and the main world, the ancient world has been plunged into chaos, and there is no peace for a moment."
"This move is not good for the common people, and it's time to end it."
Although he was disdainful in his heart, Jiang Chen still followed their words. Because the duration of this battle was indeed a bit long. It was also time to stop this battle and let Honghuang rest for a while.
"Um?"
When everyone saw Jiang Chen agreeing so readily, their first reaction was not happiness, but surprise.
They originally thought that if they wanted Jiang Chen to agree, they would have to pay a big price. But who could have expected that Jiang Chen would agree to their request before their terms were even opened.
There must be fraud in this.
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Although they felt something was wrong, Jiang Chen was willing to stand in front of them, so they couldn't help but realize that they quickly shouted long live Jiang Chen.
"How will Your Majesty stop the war?"
At this time, Saint Taiqing asked.
"Simple!"
Looking at him with a half-smile, Jiang Chen waved his sleeves and reached out to grab Honghuang below.
In an instant, the world changed, and all the innate energy gathered at this moment, and was grabbed by Jiang Chen.
"this……"
The strong men present, as well as the strong men not present, jumped up in shock when they saw this scene, not knowing what Jiang Chen meant by doing this.
"You monks, if you don't engage in metaphysical discussions and cultivate your moral character, you will cause trouble everywhere and stir up disputes, resulting in wars that will last for thousands of years, and there will be no peace for a moment in the world."
"The crimes you have committed are not tolerated by heaven and earth. Now I take away the spiritual energy and cut off the support for you to show off your evil as a punishment."
Jiang Chen's voice echoed throughout the world, causing the faces of the monks who were fighting to turn pale.
Today is different from the past, the prehistoric era has lost the energy of chaos. Unlike before, even if the world has lost its spiritual energy, the Xiantian Taoist Master can continue to practice by refining the energy of chaos.
It can be said that if they are not a quasi-sage now, they cannot do without vitality. Without vitality, they cannot practice?
Jiang Chen's actions were tantamount to ending their cultivation path. How could they not be afraid?
"Is this... Your Majesty going too far?"
Saint Taiqing hesitated for a moment and then asked.
He knew that if Jiang Chen took action, he would definitely punish the monks in the lower world, but he did not expect that Jiang Chen's punishment would be so severe, directly interrupting everyone's path to practice.
"rest assured!"
"I'm just scaring them and letting them remember this lesson. After a while, I will give them the spiritual energy back."
Jiang Chen smiled and explained to the nervous people.
"I see!"
Hearing this, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay to just scare them, but if Jiang Chen was serious, it would be too scary.
After all, it was after they met Jiang Chen that Jiang Chen made this decision. If this matter spreads, there is no guarantee that no one will think that they encouraged Jiang Chen to do this.
Otherwise, it is unexplainable. Tens of millions of years have passed, and the Emperor of Heaven has never had the intention to take action. Why did he suddenly take action to stop the war and punish a group of monks after seeing them?
If everyone really misunderstands this matter, then even if they are saints, they cannot bear the consequences. After all, even saints cannot offend the public!
