Chapter 607: The Century of Gods and the Path of Spiritual Disaster (5600, second update, please vote for me!)
With the violent eruption of the Half Moon Lake volcano, shock waves visible to the naked eye reverberated between the sky and the earth. It swept across the entire Fafut Mountains and the cities around Half Moon Lake, shattering most of the buildings and even causing the collapse of more than a dozen cities.
All collapsed and destroyed.
If it weren't for Canaan Moore, he had already made corresponding preparations and moved most of the residents away. The fifth-level powerhouse, Eternal Wind Avriwen, suppressed the outflow of the shock wave caused by this natural disaster and
It is introduced into the void, and the casualties of this natural disaster may exceed millions.
Even with the predictions of the Chongling Divine Sect, there were still over a million casualties.
However, can this really be called a natural disaster?
It was like a pillar of lava shooting out of the earth's mantle. When it erupted, it raised a mountain more than 4,000 meters high. There was also the extraordinary and extremely special dragon that flew out of the mountain...
Is this really a natural disaster rather than some kind of dragon disaster?
Avrilwen was obviously also wondering about this. After she directed the destructive shock wave into the void, she also followed the 'wind' and chased towards the dark golden dragon.
But after a while, she returned to Canaan Moore with a very ugly face.
She did not catch up with him... The dark golden dragon's speed was abnormally fast. After entering the void of the universe, it began to accelerate continuously. When it crossed the moon's orbit, its speed had reached 5% of the speed of light!
At this speed, even a fifth-level powerhouse cannot easily catch up... Perhaps only the Sunbird inheritance of the Setar Empire can catch up and surpass the opponent with the power of light.
But the opponent uses entities, while the Sunbird inheritance uses light, so the difficulty between the two is simply incomparable.
The dark golden dragon is still accelerating, and its body is also becoming etheric. According to predictions, if it can continue to accelerate like this, when it reaches Metis (the tenth planet in the Terran solar system),
It may even reach a maximum speed of 50% of the speed of light, and the physical body will be completely etherified and sublimated into a form different from any fifth energy level.
He flew straight towards the outside of Terra's solar system without looking back or stopping.
No one can stop him, not even other true dragons.
The whole world was in an uproar.
The Chongling Divine Sect, which successfully predicted this 'True Dragon Disaster', also completely proved its ability as a prophet.
This is also the first step for Chongling Divine Sect to gradually move towards the fifth orthodox religion.
"interesting!"
The clip of the second omen had already made Ian feel a little tired, but he had no intention of ending it. Instead, he steeled himself and continued to observe.
The harvest this omen brought to Ian was extremely rich.
It was not only a sign of the research direction, but also a very important natural disaster...the true dragon disaster that occurred in Canaan Moore's Half Moon Lake and Fafut Mountains six years later.
Regardless of power, just from the speed and attitude of the dark golden dragon, Ian could tell that his goal was definitely the crack in the ‘Prison Prison’ five light years away!
He wants to leave this prison! He will fly out at half the speed of light and in ten years!
How barbaric is this? How powerful is it?
With the power of sublimation and the incredibly powerful body of the true dragon, the dark golden dragon wants to abandon all civilization and its kind, abandon the support of the entire ecosystem, and become a 'lone traveler' or even a 'lone beast'
Escape from prison.
He didn't care that other people would be blocked by the prison, and he didn't care that there was still a prison outside the prison. He just wanted to fly out with all his heart.
Fly to the universe.
When he saw this scene, Ian was not only extremely shocked, but also had a clear understanding in his heart.
——Yes. Inaga II is indeed a great person.
He thought to himself. There was a kind of admiration in his heart for being of the same kind, but found that the other person had done something that he could not do.
——If he is a fifth-level powerhouse and the inheritor of the Sun Bird bloodline...if he wants to, he can fly out of the Star Prison in five years.
Five light years is an incredibly far distance for ordinary people, but for sublimators, especially some special sublimators, it may be a long and lonely journey.
Can a fifth-level powerhouse maintain photochemistry for five years? Ian thinks it is possible. As long as he is prepared and takes advantage of the solar wind to replenish energy at major planets, he will leave the eleventh planet Ni.
When entering the light speed cruise on Nemsis, Inaga II only needs to maintain actinic energy and does not need to accelerate.
He can definitely do this.
What if he really just wanted to see the stars, and just wanted to touch the stars with his hands.
Inaga II can do it.
But he didn't do that, and stayed in Terra...
Then, died in Terra.
He died in a hometown that never understood him.
Converging his thoughts, before conducting the third observation of omen fragments, Ian was still thinking about whether the real dragon disaster that occurred in Half Moon Lake was related to the 'Qiang Steel Dragon' discovered by the Dragon Worship Cult and Canaan Moore that he knew.
'Heirs' related.
They are all ancient dragons, they are all underground labyrinths, they are all mysterious and unknown places around Fafut and the Karan Mountains...
Ian felt that all this was no coincidence. The Dragon Cult, Canaan Moore, and even the elves in Anfa were definitely involved in this matter.
And on this path, I obviously embarked on the path of 'prophet' and 'establishing a religion'... At that time, I probably also broke through the third energy level.
A third-level prophet, the leader of the Chongling God Sect, is enough to be respected by all forces. At least the Huaiguang Church can support it openly, because its ability to "predict vision" can detect natural disasters that they cannot detect.
This is actually not surprising - Ian doesn't even need to predict natural disasters, he only needs to observe where people are prone to die. Don't be too simple.
Farming, collaborating with establishing a religion...and finally using prophetic prophecies to expand the influence of the sect, gaining attention and even investment from Huaiguang and other orthodox religions and powerful forces.
By the time the big forces began to prepare to explore the bottom of the Chongling God Sect, it would have to be at least 785 years later, and at that time Ian Iron was at the fourth level.
By that time, in an era when fifth-level powerhouses would not act at will, he would have the confidence to face all major forces, become a 'chess player', and begin to use the entire world as a chessboard to lay out his own plans.
However, the omen fragments are just fragments after all... There is still a lot of information in this future world that Ian cannot get.
For example, the reason why my sect is developing so fast and no one cares about it is because the war between the empire and Feiyandi has become intense?
The reason why Canaan Moore listened to his own prophecy so much and moved tens of millions of people around Half Moon Lake without any doubts is definitely not something that a prophet can explain.
Ian believed that he should have used his connections with the Dragon Cult or Anfa to show some evidence, and then convinced the top management of Canaan Moore.
But the prophet can't predict the prophet, especially himself... so Ian doesn't know his thoughts and actions at that time, just like when the swarm was on the road.
"Maybe it can be predicted again... This is probably the river of death for the dead king, and the two events of Prisoner Star Prison have improved the vision of prediction... so the things predicted are related to them."
Thinking of this, Ian thought thoughtfully, and he somewhat understood the rules of his special prophetic ability - just like in the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea, it was the information related to the insect swarm that gave him a spiritual boost, so the entirety of his prophetic dream was
It is the path of the insect swarm.
This time is probably no exception.
"continue!"
Feeling the deepening of fatigue, Ian naturally would not continue to delay: "Let me see what the future will be like after I become the master of the great religion!"
——They all have prophets, and they have successfully prevented tens of millions of deaths and injuries. Not to mention the Fifth Orthodox Church, a serious local religion should have it, right?
With such expectations, he once again sank into the whirlpool brought by spiritual energy.
Then...Ian saw it.
A deserted, dead land without any life left.
Another disaster brought on by oneself.
And what this prophecy really wants to foreshadow for Ian is the name of the path he sees in this future.
【——The path of spiritual disaster——】
…
After the True Dragon Disaster subsided in Terra 779, until Terra 787, the Chongling Cult had many more believers in Nanling and Canaan Moore.
Its teachings are very clear - supporting all righteous revenge and all protection of family, home and community.
This is the simplest desire in the human heart...to survive, and the violence performed in order to survive.
As the Chongling Divine Religion gradually normalized, its number of priests also gradually increased. The Knights of Sanctuary and the Messengers of Vengeance even developed two different true form inheritances to adapt to their psychic abilities.
It is the basis of a future Orthodoxy.
So far, the Chongling Divine Sect, which has been around for about fourteen years since its emergence, has already surpassed some small countries in terms of strength and foundation.
At such a speed, if you say it's flying, you might be overestimating it.
But it's more than that.
The Chongling Divine Sect has also brought about a large number of technological changes... For example, the 'earth engine' that only exists in theory is the key to the sect's ability to transform the original ecology of Nanling.
Unlike many alchemy furnaces in the past, the Leyline Engine is a natural energy engine similar to hydroelectric generators and geothermal generators. It is based on the interaction of natural psychic energy cycles and can extract the power of Terra's natural psychic energy for its own use.
Although everyone else was amazed by the technology of the Chongling God Cult, Ian knew very well that the so-called Earth Line Engine was nothing more than a magically modified simplified version of the 'True Ether Furnace Heart'.
It uses a set of quite complex theories to slowly attract surrounding spiritual energy to gather around itself, forming a sub-entity 'leyline', and then uses a matching energy-grabbing array to absorb the energy in the earthly veins for utilization. Compared with
Technology requires the heart of the natural terrain.
Although it is not portable and can only supply the needs of surrounding cities like a reservoir, it does solve the energy problem of Nanling.
In addition, with the death of the first batch of believers in the Chongling God Cult, the power of the ‘Dead King’ gradually emerged.
There is still life after death.
The dead still exist.
The soul...can be immortal.
Even if the price is to fall into hell and become part of the "spiritual god"... no one will think that this is a kind of "cruelty".
Rather, for this world full of suffering and natural disasters, this can be regarded as a kind of salvation.
When this fact was revealed, many people expressed shock and ecstasy - they undoubtedly wanted to join the Chongling Cult, but were rejected.
Because, if you want to join the Chongling Divine Sect, what you need is a 'contract' and related 'transformation'.
Without an artificial soul, without the same consensus on revenge and protection, and without experiencing painful death and disaster, such an ordinary soul cannot become a part of the Dead King, the so-called 'spiritual god'.
Even so, there are countless people who want to join the Chongling Sect - almost instantly, the Chongling Sect became a veritable 'Fifth Orthodox Sect'.
But as a price, and as a natural payment for the lofty status of the 'Orthodox Religion', the Chongling Shen Cult also spread the technology related to the 'Spirit God' to all major forces.
Just as Ian guessed back then, once the dead king's technology is exposed, it must be 'shared' with other forces.
Unwilling?
What a joke! Whether it was Inaga II, Grand Duke Thorin, or Ian himself, they developed this technology just to spread it!
However, the timing of diffusion, the identity of the diffuser, and the attitude shown when spreading it are far more important than simply 'diffusion' itself.
It took Ian fourteen years to finally make the Chongling God Sect become a very important force in the Terra Continent. Then he used the high reputation of this big force to release the technology related to the "Spiritual God" and tell the world about it.
, this technology was developed to protect the souls of all living beings and shelter the souls of all living beings.
As a result, the right to interpret the 'consensus' is firmly in the hands of the Chongling Divine Sect... It can even be said that it remains in the hearts of all living beings.
Since then, it has been impossible for anyone to deceive the people and use their own fabricated set of consensus to achieve another set of doctrines of the ‘Dead King Spirit God’.
The ascendants of Terra will have to pay attention to ordinary people, and the situation of the entire world will undergo a huge change.
This is the world situation that Ian wants to create... Ordinary people are no longer the dust that sublimators don't care about, and those who have the technology of the dead king cannot regard the souls of ordinary people as another kind of food.
and materials - because if he does not protect and avenge them, the souls of the dead who have already known the teachings of the spiritual god will not recognize him.
In fact, other people who possess the technology of the dead king will hunt down such evil people and use this incident as propaganda to attract more people to turn to them and become his 'subjects'.
And these latecomers will never be able to surpass the initiators who caused the death of the king to expand.
That is, the leader of the Chongling Sect, Ian.
This is the meaning of Ian's fourteen years spent developing the church - he will become orthodox and the protector of souls in the true sense, and all those who intend to distort this meaning will be struck and crushed by him.
If it spreads too early and has no power to maintain order, Ian will only let the technology continue to create chaos.
But Ian, who is just right and has the strength, has the confidence to create order.
For a time, the entire world became a lot more peaceful, and even though many wars were still being fought, they were gradually subdued.
Especially after everyone knew that without a soul, it was impossible to return to the embrace of the spiritual god, many people who had not yet undergone artificial soul surgery became war-weary.
——The eternal life of the soul is right before our eyes. Do you want us to die now?
Do those who want to oppose this want to go against the 'consensus' of all sentient beings and be rejected by the 'spiritual god' forever?
The world has become peaceful, in a way that no one expected.
As more than ten years have passed, and time has passed, various 'spiritual gods' have appeared in this world. Their strength ranges from the third level to the fifth level, and most of them are from the age of spiritual gods.
The strong one before.
They added some new consensuses to the 'Spiritual God Basic Consensus Agreement' set by Ian.
For example, the ‘Warrior Spirit God’ of the Cangtian Royal Court, which can also be referred to as the ‘War God’, is the younger brother of the new Khan of the Cangtian Royal Court.
He was originally a strong man at the fourth level. Although the Spiritual God did not allow him to break through to the fifth level, it also made him find another way and find another way.
In addition to 'protection' and 'revenge', he also added 'fighting to win glory' to the consensus of the spiritual gods, attracting a large number of warriors from the Heavenly Court - because of the protection of souls and spiritual gods, this group of people
He is no longer afraid of death, but longs for fighting and death, fighting to win glory, and dying to coexist with God.
The war gods of the Cangtian Royal Court have begun the war again, and the Khan's long whip is gearing up, intending to whip the entire world.
They continue to create friction at the borders, but the response from other countries is quite negative.
It's not that you don't want to fight, but since everyone returns to the embrace of the Spiritual God after death and enhances the Spiritual God's strength, then whether to die, whether to defend, or whether to fight has become a very complicated issue.
Cangtian Royal Court and Feiyandi have a fighting culture and bloodline, but the spiritual gods in other countries, even if they add new consensus, are nothing more than 'nature's close ones' on the elves' side and 'maintenance of order' on the empire's side.
Or spiritual gods like the 'god of nature' and the 'god of order'.
Even the Huaiguang Church has created spiritual gods such as the ‘God of Watching’ and ‘The God of Existence and Continuity’.
Rather than fighting against the Cangtian Royal Court and consuming population and resources, they hope more to expand their 'consensus' and become a 'spiritual god' who can represent more people.
Population is already a resource. They are the helmsmen and captains, and the more their crew members are, the better, and the more sincere their protective intentions are, the better - only a mad dog like the God of War would think
It is necessary to consume a large number of people through war and forcibly gain the power of consensus.
The age of gods has arrived.
Ian single-handedly created the Chongling Cult... and even created the gods of Terra!
However, just when Ian used a method that was close to "religious victory" to return the entire Terra to peace.
Suddenly, the state of the entire planet Terra became extremely abnormal.
The first things to appear abnormal were the Void Realm and Fairyland.
As Falling Star City was suddenly destroyed in an extremely terrifying virtual realm shock and turned into a subspace maze, the surviving goblins who escaped from it brought a frightening news.
——The virtual realm is shattering and falling.
Literally smashed.
For a time, without anyone noticing, the virtual realm that was still maintaining a stable state suddenly collapsed, forming large and small silent abyss and subspace mazes on Terra.
A large number of people died due to accidents and natural disasters. If it weren't for the spiritual god's shelter area covering all corners of Terra, and the large and small spiritual gods forcibly resisting this disaster, then the outbreak of the virtual realm disaster would be enough to kill
Billions of people.
This is an apocalyptic disaster crisis...an unprecedented spiritual disaster!
The existence of spiritual gods shelters the entire Terra, which is a good thing, but some keen people suspect that it is the excessive number of spiritual gods that affects the existence of the virtual realm, causing the virtual realm to overlap with reality - this is indeed a possibility, so
The Chongling Sect and other major forces have joined forces to explore the cause of this collapse of the virtual realm.
Then, they followed the clues and found the center of the earth.
The place where Archduke Thorin, the original founder of the Dead Lord Technology and perhaps the earliest spiritual god, sleeps with his people.
But... here, the gods did not see the sleeping Archduke Thorin and the hell he created... or the 'Kingdom of God'.
Here, there is only a dense spiritual energy that is as black as ink and is undulating... in the center of Terra's core.
It was an embryo, an embryo of an unprecedented, unimaginably huge monster.
Others didn't recognize it, but Ian knew it.
It was the embryo of the river system-level doomsday monster, the super-body 'Void Breed'.
The nightmare that originally existed only in the dreams of all living beings has now become reality - the collapse of the virtual world is precisely because of the first sound of its imminent birth.
