While Bai Ying was thinking about this, Cohen had already followed the Vulcan to the fourth platform, but everyone did not go directly to the relief, because on the fourth platform, another god appeared, a
A goddess with a calm demeanor and indifferent eyes.
"Your Highness Cohen, this is the God of Wind." The Water God cheered and jumped to the God of Wind, "Qingyun, Your Highness Cohen is already my junior, you can't argue with me..."
"Who wants to fight with you?" Fengshen replied softly to Water God. Although she looked similar in age and appearance to Water God, her personality seemed calmer. She gently held Water God's arm and replied with a faint smile, "
If the source of life wakes up now and sees that you are still so naughty, she will blame you."
The Water God glared at the woman, walked away, and stood beside the Fire God aggrievedly. Because there was no connection between her before, Cohen just nodded to the Wind God, and was not as cordial as he treated the Water God.
"His Highness Cohen is well, I am Fengshen." Fengshen stepped forward and said to Cohen: "Originally, I was supposed to be waiting on the fifth-level platform, but when I saw His Highness lifting the seal of the third-level platform all the way, I was really surprised.
Ability, I took the liberty to meet you here."
"Your Excellency Fengshen is well." Cohen replied with a smile, "Actually, for me, it doesn't matter where I meet you."
"It seems that His Highness Cohen is still a little confused by our appearance. In fact, this is not his fault." Fengshen replied with a smile, "Maybe someone only thought about recruiting juniors and forgot to explain some things to His Highness. Our
My little sister is good in every aspect, but she is a bit casual, so please forgive me, Your Highness."
"You're welcome." Cohen said: "Your Excellency Water God and I are very destined. It's my luck to know her."
"Look, look! He is indeed jealous." The Water God interjected: "His Royal Highness Cohen is already my junior." One moment, there is His Highness Cohen, and the next there is another junior." The God of Wind teased the God of Water and said, "Don't be afraid of confusion.
Yet?"
"How could it be? I call you according to my mood. When I'm unhappy, I call you junior, and when I'm happy, I call you your highness." The Water God held his head high and replied proudly, "Don't even think about it. Who calls you yourself?"
If you don't show up earlier, you have to leave it to me to receive His Highness Cohen?"
"It's better not to talk about this." The God of Wind didn't care about what the God of Water said. He took two steps forward and stretched out his hand to Cohen, "Your Highness Cohen, why don't you let me take you on this level?"
Cohen hesitated for a moment, held Fengshen's hand, and walked side by side with Fengshen. After walking a few steps, he felt that the tightness in his chest had dissipated a lot. He turned to look at the smiling Fengshen, and couldn't help but sigh at the ancient gods and the gods and demons of today.
The styles are really different - people like Cohen are born to distinguish what is true and what is false. Although he is a guest here, the charm and attitude in Fengshen's behavior are not shown exclusively for himself, even when facing other people.
Human beings and wind gods must also have this attitude.
"Your Highness actually doesn't know that you were able to unlock the seal of the third-level platform for the first time, which already makes us very happy." Fengshen said in a friendly tone: "But the seal of the fourth-level platform is not just
It can be unlocked by strength. There have been some people who triggered illusions outside, and some people can survive the seal equivalent to the third level platform, but no one can unlock this kind of seal on the fourth level platform, not a single one.
.If any unexpected situation arises, His Highness must not force it."
"Don't worry, Lord Fengshen, I am different from anyone else." Cohen smiled and put his hand on the first relief, "Because, I am Cohen Keda."
"I'm very happy to see His Highness' fighting spirit." Fengshen nodded and replied, "Your Highness, remember, these seals are all designed for you. There is nothing strange about these seals themselves. What they reflect is just the things in your heart.
Regardless of fear, emotion, or love, these will be clearly presented in front of you. Your Highness, everything you face is actually you."
Recalling Fengshen's words in his mind, Cohen's palm had already touched the relief. Endless darkness invaded from his head, and he had entered a new illusion.
After his eyes adjusted to the white light around him, Cohen could clearly see the opponent in front of him. Whether it was his dress or body shape, the opponent was exactly the same as the first demon general of the demon clan. If he didn't know that this was an illusion, Cohen would even
He would go over and say hello and speak frivolously.
The close-fitting lavender warrior suit outlines the alluring curves that Cohen is familiar with, but the beautiful but expressionless face looks extremely cold. In Cohen's memory, this face has always been charming.
With a slight smile, the two lips that used to be rosy and beautiful are now tightly pressed into a straight line. Even the corners of the eyes and eyebrows that used to be charming in the past are only exuding a bit of murderous aura.
But this is an illusion. What is in front of him is just an opponent, and an extremely powerful opponent. Although Cohen has fought against the Demon General before, it was not real after all, and he does not know how high the Demon General's real strength is. But
In the next quarter of an hour, Cohen knew the strength of the demon clan members clearly...
"Poof!" With a sound, Cohen fell heavily to the ground - in a short period of time, he got up again and again and was knocked down again and again. This was already seventeen reincarnations. Cohen had no reservations.
He tried his best, even using the special power inherited from Marshmallow, but the other party was unscathed. But Cohen himself was seriously injured.
The clothes he was wearing were torn to pieces, and every breath he took was painful to the heart. The blood gushing out from the wound stained the place where he fell. The sword hung at his side, and the demon general was approaching step by step. Every time
Every time he takes a step, he touches the ground gently with his toes, shoulders swaying, and waist swaying. It's always the same posture, but Cohen knows that when such a demon comes over, it just means that death and failure are approaching again.
.
The steps stopped without any hesitation, and the long knife in the demon general's hand struck Cohen in the head, who had just propped up his body. At this moment, Cohen had no doubt that if he was hit by this knife, he would really be doomed.
, the corpse is lying in this illusion.
Between life and death, Cohen raised his sword to block, but was kicked away by the demon general. After breaking two stone pillars, he rolled to the corner of the huge martial arts hall. Coughing softly, Cohen stretched out his hand to fumble for the sword that fell beside him.
, it was only half an arm's distance away, but he was unable to reach it. In the blow just now, the bones of his right hand had been completely shattered.
Compared with the inner pain, the physical pain is actually nothing. After ten consecutive failures, Cohen's confidence has been completely destroyed by the devil. Although with the support of unyielding will, he once
He struggled to stand up again and again, but even Cohen himself knew that this kind of willpower could no longer help him. He could only continue his pain. If he encountered a real demon general, or even a demon princess, Cohen
It will definitely not be so miserable, because Cohen can use his wit to create opportunities for himself to win or escape, but in the illusion, the opponents have no psychological flaws. The only thing they think about is how to defeat Cohen.
The demon general approached again, and Cohen gave a bitter smile. He turned his body with his still-usable shoulder and stretched out his left hand to pick up the knife. However, compared with the disabled right hand, this numb left hand was not much better. He gritted his teeth and persisted.
, Cohen's fingers finally touched the handle of the knife - as long as he had the knife in his hand, Cohen felt that his situation was not the worst, and he was not yet a defenseless weakling.
A combat boot with detailed embroidery patterns appeared in Cohen's eyes, and the sole was placed on his finger. Cohen raised his head with difficulty and looked at his opponent in disbelief.
"Pah, pah, pah..." The sound of broken bones resounded between the sole of the shoe and the handle of the knife, one after another.
His left hand was trampled to a bloody pulp, which meant that Cohen's last source of support disappeared. Even the little self-comfort of defeat with a weapon was lost under the sole of this beautiful combat boot. This kind of blow to the psychology and belief
The shock made him feel no physical pain anymore. He could only look at the Demon General's expressionless face, and his mind went blank.
But the Demon General's feet were moving, and the combat boots hovered on the left elbow for a moment, the soles pressing against the flesh.
"Pah, pah, pah..." Another sound of bones breaking sounded. Cohen was no longer able to hold on, and put his head on the ground. Is this an illusion? If this is just an illusion, why can the damage here extend straight to the ground?
Deep in my heart? There is no audience at the scene, and no one will know about my fiasco in the future. Why does my heart still feel like it is being torn apart?
"Is this the gap with the demons? Is this the test of the fourth level platform? Even if my body is not injured after exiting the seal, how can we make up for this huge disparity in strength?" Such thoughts arise in my mind.
When he came out, Cohen's eyes were empty, "The things I have always relied on can't achieve my goal, so what's the point of me retreating to reality unscathed? What's the point? My goal, what I'm doing for
Has the goal of hard work and hard work already failed?”
There seemed to be a place beating in his mind, gradually expanding and contracting again and again, but Cohen himself did not notice that he was still continuing his thoughts and asking himself one sharp question after another. And in
In this short period of time, the Demon General had crushed Cohen's elbow and put his combat boots on Cohen's shoulders.
"Pa, pa..., this pyramid was built for me, why do they say that? What is there in me that is worthy of them doing this thousands of years ago? Is it really there? What is that? Have I forgotten
What...this is only the fourth level..."
The Demon General's boots stepped on the top of Cohen's head. Without any hesitation, the floor burst. Cohen's head was forcefully pressed below the ground. His confused eyes moved downward step by step, gradually sinking into the ground.
...The feeling in his head was like something was about to burst out of the ground, and Cohen's hands and feet began to twitch.
Finally...that part of my brain cracked...
"Crack!" There was a sound, and the Demon General watched helplessly as his right leg was broken.
Like a violent explosion, a long-lost energy suddenly filled Cohen's body. His body twitched more violently, curled up into a shrimp shape, his skin bulged, and began to ooze out traces of blood. Even the demon general
The crushed left hand was also twitching. Suddenly, Cohen's fingers clenched into a fist, and his body shook... The Demon General was knocked up by a violent force and fell far away.
Raising his head, Cohen, who was covered in blood, slowly moved his left hand, propped up his body full of strength, stood up unsteadily, and walked towards the Demon General step by step. All the wounds on his body were acting in an abnormal way.
Recovery is coming at a rapid pace.
The demon general who was half lying on the ground raised her head. Her eyes, which were half covered by her silky hair, showed a look of confusion and pain. She put down her sword and covered her injured leg with her right hand. Her expression was cold before.
It turned into a kind of self-pity, and the tightly pursed lips trembled slightly as she hesitated to speak, making people involuntarily want to hug her, comfort her softly, and show sympathy... At this moment, at this angle, she was posing like this
The posture and body of the Demon General are full of original temptation, which has a fatal temptation for anyone.
All of this was reflected in Cohen's black pupils. Without hesitating or speeding up his steps, he stood in front of the Demon General and extended his hand to the Demon General.
Putting his slender white palm into the blood-stained palm, Cohen pulled up the tearful Demon General. But the next moment, the Demon General's sword appeared above Cohen's head like a ghost!
The sharp blade stayed three fingers away from Cohen's head, because Cohen's hand grasped the blade, and traces of blue light continued to leak out from the gaps between his fingers. No matter how hard the Demon General tried, the sword would not move at all. The Demon General was about to release the knife and retreat.
, Cohen's other hand pinched her neck again.
"I just want to talk to you when I pull you up." Cohen looked at the demon general who had become a fish and said softly: "You... are just an illusion in the illusion, right? Although it is just an illusion, I still want to thank you.
.”
With his fingers tightened, there was a "crack" sound, and the Demon General's body shook several times, and then he collapsed.
The surrounding light began to change, everything in front of him gradually returned to a relief, and Cohen returned to reality.
"Untied!" The Water God clapped his hands excitedly, "Your Highness has unlocked the seal."
"Your Highness, are you okay?" Fengshen asked with concern, "The first seal on each level is the easiest, why don't we take a break and then continue to solve it?"
"Nothing, everything is fine." Cohen smiled, "No need to rest, let's continue."
Fengshen hesitated for a moment and led Cohen to the next relief. Sure enough, in the illusion of seals below, Cohen encountered an opponent that was even more difficult to defeat. The critical situation of the battle was no less severe than having his bones crushed by his opponent. Cohen even suspected that these seals
Not to test my abilities, but purely to torture myself...
After untying a set of seals, although Cohen still had that smile on his lips, he couldn't hide the tired look in his eyes. He followed Cohen forward step by step, and the white shadow behind him was worried. After Cohen unlocked the first
After three sets of seals, even the three gods began to show worried looks on their faces, so Bai Ying knew that Cohen had exceeded everyone's expectations by a lot!
He just put his hand on the relief for just a moment. No one knew how much effort Cohen put into each seal, but Cohen's heavy footsteps and the sweat on his forehead were not deceiving... When the pale face
After Cohen solved all twenty-eight seals of the fourth level platform, Bai Ying almost doubted that Cohen could no longer move forward.
But this time Cohen did not stop to rest for a moment. Instead, under everyone's surprised eyes, he silently climbed up to the fifth level platform!
"I'm ready." Without waiting for the wind god's instructions, Cohen put his hand on the stone pillar, closed his eyes, and said, "Start."
"Your Highness needs to rest." Fengshen persuaded, "We can wait, time is not a problem."
"No need." He didn't say much, but Cohen's tone was very firm, "Let's get started."
The God of Wind looked at the other two gods with questioning eyes. The God of Water and God of Fire were silent for a moment, and they both nodded slightly, and then the magic started - this is a small garden with rich vegetation, birds singing and flowers fragrant, but no matter in the layout of the garden or in the
The overall style made Cohen feel extremely familiar and friendly. The strings in his head that were originally very tight could not help but loosen a little... In fact, on the fourth level, the injuries in Cohen's body had already accumulated.
, by the second half of the fourth floor, the injury was already very serious, and he might even fall down at any time. The reason why he rushed to the fifth floor was because he was worried that he would not be able to hold on.
After walking into the pavilion in the garden and slowly sitting down at the small stone table, Cohen took a breath. Where had he seen such a familiar scene before him? This kind of environment that could relax his body and mind was the only one in the entire continent.
There were not many places on it. The sound of footsteps reached Cohen's ears, and a tall figure walked from the path beside the pool. Cohen looked up, and a heroic face immediately broke into his eyes. Cohen stood in surprise.
He stood up, his face changed continuously, and he was at a loss, because this person walking from the path was Fichet Shamei!
Having long forgotten that this was an illusion, Cohen stretched out his hand and said: "Fichet..."
"You?" Fichet looked at Cohen with a slightly melancholy look, his tone was cold and indifferent, "What are you doing here?
"What am I doing here?" Cohen was stunned, and then loudly replied, "I am here to save you and bring you back to life!"
"When did I ask you to save me?" Fichet's eyes began to change, becoming as cold as his tone, "Resurrect me alone? What price do you want to pay? Bet on the safety of mankind on this entire continent.
Life?"
With these words of Fichet, everything around him almost shattered in unison, and fragments of countless scenes floated up. It was like an insurmountable gap between the two of them. In any case, Cohen could not have imagined that Fichet
Questioning himself so sharply, Cohen's long-term efforts and the belief that supported these countless arduous efforts seemed to be broken at this moment. "No matter what you think, I will still insist on doing this." The depression in my chest is accumulating,
But Cohen was holding back and said to Fichet: "This is my belief, the half dream you left me..."
"I want you to make the people of Sbia live a better and more stable life, not to push them into the flames of war." Before Cohen could finish speaking, Fischette interrupted him, "Not only do you
If you want to involve the people of Sibia in the flames of war, and also involve the people of the entire continent in the flames of war, you are not a good emperor, you are a murderer."
"So what?" Cohen lowered his head and smiled slowly, but the sound was worse than crying. "Everyone lives like a wild dog, even worse than a wild dog - let them change, even if
My starting point is just to resurrect you, which is also a good thing for them!"
"I don't care about being resurrected like this. I am ashamed to be resurrected at such a price." Fischette's gaze was not sharp, but it made Cohen unable to face it at this time. "Are you still Cohen? Are you still the Cohen I know?"
Is playing with human life just a game to you? Then what is the difference between you and your opponents, the opponents you swore to defeat? "
"I told you I can't control that much!" Cohen waved his hand furiously, "How many people have I known in my fucking life? As long as I can make the people I know live like human beings! Others? Others?
It has nothing to do with me!"
"They kneel down to you, treat you as their emperor, and entrust their lives and property to you!" Fichet became stern, "And you actually treat them like this?"
"I will give them a new life." Cohen defended: "So far, all the people who have followed me, I have tried to give them a good life..."
"What happens after that? As you just said, is it a gift to give people like wild dogs a life like domestic dogs?" Fichet lowered his head in pain, "You had the ability to make them live like human beings.
Of…why don’t you do it?”
"Because then I will be very hard, ten thousand times harder than now!" Cohen pressed his chest with one hand and answered with difficulty, "Aren't domestic dogs and wild dogs all dogs? As long as everyone finds that everyone lives the same life, there will be no difference.
.”
"In that case, will you feel calm in your heart?" Fichet smiled mockingly, "Only if you are determined to let everyone live like human beings, will you feel calm in your heart? You have to break everything, but not give them new ones.
Environment, do you just want to make it easier for yourself? Or are you also doubting yourself? "
"I doubt myself? What do I doubt about myself!"
"Doubt everything about yourself." Fischette looked at Cohen calmly and replied lightly, "Including the meaning of my own existence."
On the pyramid, in the eyes of the three gods and Bai Ying, Cohen's body trembled violently, and then his mouth opened, and a mouthful of blood spurted on the relief, dyeing the relief red. After that, Cohen's body fell backwards
, was hugged by Fengshen, and when Bai Ying rushed over to take a look, Cohen had already fainted - showing that kind of smile was indeed not a good sign!
"He's injured, but it's not too serious. It should be the injuries accumulated from the fourth level." The Water God came over to check and said: "Put him in the fountain for treatment! With his physique, he should be able to wake up quickly. However, today,
We can only go so far.”
"It's already very good. With his previous strength, he can only go to the third level platform. If he goes up again, the situation will be very difficult. Unexpectedly, this guy actually learned while unlocking the seal, using the illusion created by the source of life as a training room.
.
Vulcan looked at the unconscious Cohen and said, "Being able to walk onto the fifth level platform! This is a big surprise for us."
"I'll put him in the fountain for treatment first, otherwise this little dragon will worry to death." Fengshen replied with a smile, "Be prepared for what His Highness Cohen will say when he wakes up! I heard that this emperor has a bad temper.
Especially when you encounter setbacks.”
After speaking, the God of Wind pulled Bai Ying up and flew directly down from the pyramid, landing at a fountain on the platform at the bottom of the tower. She wrapped Cohen with a layer of magic light curtain, and then put it into the spring water.
Later, the other two gods also came here. The three gods sat around a small stone table without speaking.
Bai Ying's eyes never left Cohen, and he was angry at the three gods for causing Cohen to get hurt. No matter how high their status was, they would not give him a proper look. But how could Bai Ying's little thoughts escape the eyes of the three gods?
?So he was captured by the Water God to listen to the lecture. Of course, what he was talking about was what Bai Ying had to listen to attentively - the origin of the dragon clan.
"...The dragon race is the last race created by the source of life, so it has much higher intelligence than other races. We all participated in the creation." At the end of the course, the water god explained with a smile: "
The Wind God’s suggestion is to allow the dragons to fly freely, the Earth God’s suggestion is to allow the dragons to have greater power than other races, and the Vulcan God’s suggestion is to allow the dragons to freely use advanced magic... As for me, you want to know me
Any suggestions?"
Bai Ying nodded.
"My suggestion was to make the dragons like to eat fish, but this suggestion was rejected, so later I replaced it with the idea that the dragons should have unique habits." At this point, the water god's expression became very interesting, "If life at that time
How great it would be if Zhiyuan agreed to my first suggestion! Think about it, to maintain such a huge body and have to be busy catching fish to eat at any time, it must be very interesting..."
Bai Ying did not answer, but just thought to himself: No matter whether he is a human or a god, as long as he can talk to Cohen, he must be similar to the King of Destruction to a certain extent...
"I just lied to you." Seeing Bai Ying's reaction, the Water God covered his mouth and smiled, with a proud expression on his face, "Actually, dragons and humans are very closely related, and can even be said to be...
…The earth god is here?”
Bai Ying stood up following the three gods and saluted the middle-aged man with a simple appearance and light yellow complexion who was walking vigorously.
"No need to be polite." Earth God asked, "Where did you fail?"
"The first seal of the fifth-level platform." Fengshen replied, "The strength shown surprised us very much.
"This is a good thing." Earth God nodded, "He is about to wake up. Dragon Girl, please come and sit down. We will tell him something." (To be continued)
