The year passed, and shortly after Gu Chen turned twenty-three, strange changes occurred all over the world. This phenomenon spread eight hundred miles back to Tiandu.
On this day, Tiandu, which had just warmed up, once again began to snow like goose feathers. The weather suddenly became extremely cold, even worse than every winter in the past, as if the extreme ice had arrived.
Not only that, other state capitals have also undergone different changes.
In some places, it rained heavily and continued for days and nights. In other places, the weather became extremely hot, as if the sun had descended on the earth's surface. The scorching temperature caused countless crops to die. This state ushered in a new crisis.
An unprecedented drought.
Some state capitals experience alternating hot and cold weather, with intense heat and severe cold coming one after another.
Earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and other disasters occurred all at once, and in some places there were even terrifying scenes of thunder falling.
No matter which major state, even the seven major states where Dayuan is located are the same.
The new year has come, but such a big event has happened in Kyushu, as if the world is about to be destroyed. Disasters occur frequently in various places. They are so sudden that many people cannot survive it, and the number of casualties is huge.
All kinds of disaster news are flying to Tiandu like snowflakes. During this period of time, the new emperor Ji Yuan and the ministers in the court can be said to be very worried. Disasters have occurred in all the thirteen states under the control of Daxia.
, the imperial court needs a lot of manpower and money to provide disaster relief.
This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for the new emperor Ji Yuan who has just ascended the throne.
Ji Yuan, including all the ministers in the court, had not slept for several days and nights, thinking hard about how to deal with this natural disaster.
As for Tiandu, it has been extremely cold during this period. When Gu Chen learned about the current situation, he was also shocked. He thought that a catastrophe was coming, so he quickly went to Qintian Prison to find the prison master and asked him for the specific reason.
"The changes in the heaven and earth are the precursor of the coming catastrophe, and it is also a level that Kyushu must go through."
The supervisor told Gu Chen that the catastrophe was yet to come. It was just a precursor, but it had such a huge impact on the entire Jiuzhou, causing countless casualties and casualties among the people.
This sudden change in the heaven and earth covers the entire Kyushu, not just Daxia, but even Da Yuan has been greatly affected, and emergency relief is being carried out.
If a catastrophe really comes, what will the entire Kyushu look like, and how many innocent people will die tragically? It is really hard for Gu Chen to imagine.
"Supervisor, why is there such a change in the world of Jiuzhou?" Gu Chen frowned.
The supervisor said: "When evil spirits from outside the territory invade Jiuzhou, the rules of the world of Jiuzhou will naturally resist. This is the impact of the great catastrophe. The deterioration of the environment of heaven and earth is also closely related to this. It is the appearance of demons and ghosts that destroys the world of Jiuzhou.
, causing the rules of heaven and earth in Kyushu to be obliterated, and disasters will continue to come to various places."
Gu Chenjian frowned and said, "Will this kind of change continue forever?"
In just a few days, many people in Kyushu have died tragically. If things go on like this without demons and ghosts, this kind of natural disaster will be enough to half-destroy Kyushu, and most of the people will be killed or injured.
The supervisor said: "It won't last too long. Although most of the rules of the Nine Provinces' heaven and earth have been destroyed by evil spirits from outside the territory, they still have some self-healing abilities. After a while, the heaven and earth will restore themselves, and this kind of natural disaster will stop.
.”
Hearing this, Gu Chen did not show a trace of joy on his face, and his expression remained solemn, saying: "In other words, the destruction of the world in Kyushu is related to the invasion of evil spirits from outside the territory, that is, the invasion of demons and ghosts. As demons and ghosts continue to appear in Kyushu, the world
When the rules are obliterated, it will become more serious. After reaching a certain level, this kind of natural disaster will appear again. Even in the later stage, when the catastrophe comes, the disaster in Kyushu will become more serious, right?"
After being silent for a while, the supervisor nodded slowly, confirming Gu Chen's suspicion.
For a moment, Gu Chen's heart was shocked. If things continue like this, the entire Jiuzhou will probably be destroyed.
"This is a catastrophe. No one can be spared. If you survive, you will live. If you cannot survive, you will die."
"Ghost!"
Gu Chen's expression was solemn, and his fists suddenly clenched. The appearance of the demon had a huge impact on Kyushu.
The changes in heaven and earth also prove that the world of Kyushu is increasingly declining, and the rules of heaven and earth have been seriously destroyed, otherwise it would never be like this.
"If we survive this disaster, will the world of Kyushu return to normal?" Gu Chen looked at the supervisor.
"Yes." The supervisor nodded and said: "As long as the rules of heaven and earth are not completely wiped out, it can heal itself slowly. It's just a matter of how long it takes."
"So, if things continue to evolve like this, the entire Kyushu will be wiped out, right?"
The supervisor shook his head and said: "There is another possibility that the world of Kyushu will be assimilated by the rules of the world where the demons and ghosts live and become part of their world."
"No wonder the Liuhe Sect is so unscrupulous in fusing demons and ghosts!"
Gu Chen's eyes turned cold. It turned out that the Liuhe Divine Sect had the idea of letting demons and ghosts assimilate into the world of Kyushu. In this way, they could indeed become the masters of Kyushu.
At this time, the supervisor reminded Gu Chen, "In a short time, stronger demons and ghosts will come to the world of Kyushu, and wars will be ignited everywhere. You must be extremely careful."
When Gu Chen heard this, he nodded carefully. He knew that his opportunity had come!
The coming of a great calamity is both a calamity of death and an opportunity.
What Gu Chen has to do is to swim against the current of this catastrophe and change everything.
Although this is difficult, Gu Chen believes that there is still a glimmer of hope after all.
Because if the demons and ghosts are endless, the merit points will be endless!
At this moment, Gu Chen looked solemn and his eyes were firm.
He has no intention of saving the world. All he wants is to protect himself and his loved ones.
But this time the catastrophe is facing the entire world, and there are intact eggs under the overturned nest. Gu Chen has no choice, he must change everything.
Just as the supervisor said, this change in the world is a signal, a precursor to the coming catastrophe, or it can also be understood that the catastrophe has already begun.
Because, according to the supervisor, the first batch of powerful demons and ghosts will soon descend on Kyushu!
After leaving the Qintian Prison, Qin Wu, the deputy commander of the Jingtian Division, also approached Gu Chen and told him a piece of extremely heavy news.
A garrison envoy in Daxia was killed in battle!
"What?!"
After hearing the news, Gu Chen was shocked and his body was shaken.
If this news spreads, the whole world will be in turmoil!
Each of Daxia's twelve guardian envoys is a great master of martial arts in the Xiantian Realm. They are so powerful that they can even be said to be on the verge of becoming gods. Now, Qin Wu actually told him that one of the guardian envoys was killed in battle.
?!
This has not happened in Daxia for many years. The importance of the guardian to Daxia is self-evident. At this time when the world is undergoing changes and the people are in panic, it would be hard to imagine if this news spread.
, what kind of shock will it cause to the entire Daxia.
The whole world will be in turmoil because of this!
People who are already panic-stricken will become even more panicked.
Gu Chen's eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice: "Commander Qin, this news must not spread, otherwise at this critical moment, the whole world will be in chaos because of this, and the people may even riot!"
After all, the world is already plagued by natural disasters one after another. Daxia is so busy dealing with this problem that he has no more energy to deal with other things.
Of course Qin Wu knew the importance of the matter, he said: "Don't worry, this news has just been sent back to Jingtiansi, and currently only a few people know about it."
Gu Chen frowned and asked in a deep voice: "Commander Qin, which state's garrison was killed in battle?"
"Youzhou!"
This state is located in the eastern part of Daxia, bordering the Yuan Dynasty.
Gu Chen was puzzled and said: "I remember that in addition to the local guardian envoy, Youzhou also had a great master of Xiantian martial arts. How could the guardian envoy die in battle?"
Qin Wu looked solemn and said: "After the change of heaven and earth came, three ghost-level ghosts in Youzhou that were comparable to the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm came to Jiuzhou. After the local Jingtiansi learned the news, the guardian envoy and that one
The heaven-level commanders are dispatched. Although the underworld-level demons and ghosts are very strong, they can be dealt with by working together, but who would have thought that at the most critical moment, the law enforcement elders of the Liuhe God Sect would take action!"
"The eight law enforcement elders of the Liuhe Sect?!"
Hearing this, Gu Chen's eyes suddenly narrowed. These eight law enforcement elders have a transcendent status in the Liuhe Divine Sect. In addition to the leader Dugu Yun, the two holy envoys and the four kings of law, they are the ones with the highest status. Everyone has the highest status.
He has attained the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm, and even half-stepped into the realm of spiritual enlightenment.
"The Demon Cult is here to capture demons!"
Gu Chen instantly guessed what the Liuhe God Sect was thinking. They had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. If a ghost of the underworld appeared in the world, the Demon Sect would certainly not let it go.
Because, every Nether-level monster can at least help them create a martial arts master with great perfection in the innate realm, and it is not impossible to even be a top master of martial arts and divine communication!
Because the powerful Nether-level demons and ghosts are equivalent to the warriors of the Kyushu human race in the realm of gods.
"The Demon Cult deserves to die!"
When he thought that the Liuhe Divine Sect, as a human race, would actually help the evil tyrants and help demons and ghosts destroy Kyushu, Gu Chen's eyes were full of murderous intent, and his whole body was almost boiling with energy.
Nether-level demons and ghosts are very rare, and there are very few within the Demon Cult. Few people are lucky enough to integrate. They will not miss this opportunity. In fact, the governor of Youzhou Jingtiansi also considered this at the time, but the strength of Nether-level demons
It was so powerful that he could not let it wreak havoc on the people of Youzhou, so, knowing the danger, he still moved forward resolutely.
This is the Guardian Envoy of Daxia. Each one of them has a strong sense of responsibility for Daxia. If not for this, they would not be able to reach the stage of being a Guardian Envoy.
"How many law enforcement elders from the Liuhe Divine Sect take action?" Gu Chen asked.
"Um?"
At this time, Qin Wu came back to his senses. He had been stunned just now, because when Gu Chen revealed his murderous intention, the energy in his body was boiling, and Qin Wu was completely aware of it.
Normally, Gu Chen is reserved and restrained. Unless he takes the initiative, it would be difficult for even a strong martial artist to see his reality. After all, he has a heavenly seed.
But just now, Gu Chen's murderous intention towards the Liuhe Divine Sect soared, and his subconscious release of Qi was noticed by Qin Wu, which shocked him.
It can shock Qin Wu, a strong man in the martial arts and spiritual realm. One can imagine how pure and profound the cultivation in Gu Chen's body is. In Qin Wu's view, it is difficult for anyone in the entire Xiantian territory to compare with it.
In this way, Qin Wu became more and more confident about the task he would give to Gu Chen next.
"Commander Qin?" Gu Chen looked at Qin Wu in front of him with some confusion, wondering what he was thinking.
"Three people." Qin Wu came back to his senses and said: "Liuhe Divine Sect has dispatched a total of three law enforcement elders."
Gu Chen's eyes narrowed and he said: "In other words, it is very likely that these three underworld monsters will be fused by these three people?"
"Yes, I think so too." Qin Wu nodded.
Gu Chen said: "Then the situation in Youzhou must be very tense now?"
Faintly, Gu Chen also guessed Qin Wu's purpose of coming to him today.
Qin Wu looked calm and said: "Yes, Youzhou is in urgent need of a guardian envoy of the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm to take charge. But now the earth has changed and there is chaos everywhere. Maybe there will be demons and ghosts at the underworld coming at some time.
Many people can't escape, and those who can escape are not strong enough, so I thought of you."
Gu Chen frowned and said: "However, I am only a heaven-level commander and do not have the function of a guardian. I can control the Jingtian Division in a state."
The reason why the appointment of a garrison requires the approval of the emperor and the ministers is because the garrison has a very important function. It is not just to control a Jingtiansi. If necessary, all the troops of the entire large state and the local Jingtiansi garrison are available.
Mobilization of power.
In Daxia, as long as it is external, Jingtiansi is in absolute first place at all times, and the guardian envoy is a king-like existence in the local area, and he can order a state with one word!
Therefore, even if he is a heaven-level commander, he cannot have the function of a guardian envoy without the recognition of the imperial court and has no right to govern a state.
Of course, Qin Wu knew that not long ago, the new emperor Ji Yuan wanted to appoint Gu Chen as the garrison, but was blocked by King Huai and his ministers. He said: "As the deputy commander of Jingtiansi, at critical moments, I have the right to
As a temporary appointment, you can take over the post of the envoy of Youzhou to help Daxia, guard Youzhou, eliminate all external evils, and protect Youzhou from harm."
"Now, I have officially appointed you, Gu Chen, are you willing to accept it?" Qin Wu asked solemnly with a majestic look on his face.
"Do your duty!" Gu Chen also said in a deep voice with a solemn expression.
"Okay, I will write a letter in handwriting later, stamp it with a big seal, and give it to you. You can go back and sort out the matters now. Without further delay, it is best to leave as soon as possible."
"yes!"
Gu Chen nodded solemnly. Of course he knew the seriousness of the matter and did not slack off for a moment. He immediately returned to the Gu Mansion, informed his second uncle and his family of the news, and then prepared to go on the road.
