Holy Emperor Zhuanxu, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Is this?" He frowned, and the ripples of cause and effect rippled back and forth in the depths of his heart.
Saint Emperor Zhuanxu's fingers began to pinch involuntarily.
The sound of dragon roars echoed back and forth in the Holy Emperor's Cave.
"Yes!" Holy Emperor Zhuanxu remembered.
"The virtue of fire will end, the virtue of water will be born..."
"A king will arise!"
The turmoil in the source of cause and effect made him clearly aware that a new king had been born in response to the general trend.
This is a trend that has been destined for a long time!
At the end of the Human Emperor's Huiyuan, the five human saint emperors in the Fire Cloud Cave killed their own hopes of becoming enlightened, and the five true dragons who had been enshrined and sacrificed by the human race for millions of years dispersed their flesh, blood, and souls and merged with humanity.
Therefore, according to the order of yin and yang and the five elements, following the replacement of yin and yang, the destiny of human race has also begun to cycle, which is called the beginning and end of the five virtues.
only……
"That's weird! That's weird!"
"Why is Wang Qi so short?"
"It shouldn't be!" Holy Emperor Zhuanxu couldn't help but frown.
The ripples of the source of cause and effect rippled like ripples, swaying in the heart of Saint Emperor Zhuanxu.
This allowed Holy Emperor Zhuanxu to intuitively perceive some clues.
The king's energy is strong and the luck is prosperous!
It means that the new king is deeply protected by humanity.
As soon as he was born, he was already extraordinary.
Compared with the peak of King Wen's luck in our Yuan Dynasty, who inherited the destiny of Fire Virtue, it is not far behind.
However……
The traces of the source of cause and effect show that the king's energy will only shelter the new king for one year.
Not a year in heaven, but a year on earth!
A king with only one year of royal aura and humane protection?
Holy Emperor Zhuanxu had never heard of it!
What surprised Saint Emperor Zhuanxu even more was that the new king had only been favored by the king's energy for 'one year' at the source of cause and effect.
However, the subtle feeling coming from the ripples of cause and effect showed that this did not mean that the new 'king' could only live for one year.
Rather, Wang Qi will only favor him for one year 'temporarily'.
It seems that after a year, the king can fight for it and continue to win the favor of the king!
What is even more difficult for Holy Emperor Zhuanxu to understand is.
This time, the Black Emperor's fate, bred from human nature, did not choose a certain person or a certain family's bloodline to place its trust.
He...
Entrusted to countless people!
The Black Emperor's luck spread into thousands of households.
The northern water virtue nourishes thousands of households.
This is unreasonable!
Holy Emperor Zhuanxu stood up in disbelief.
"His Majesty……"
A minister who followed the Holy Emperor Zhuanxu and ascended here saw the appearance of the Holy Emperor and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Saint Emperor Zhuanxu thought for a moment and said, "Get ready for me. I want to visit Senior Fuxi!"
"No!" The minister nodded: "I will go and prepare now!"
Saint Emperor Zhuanxu is from the Gaoyang family, descended from Saint Emperor Xuanyuan, and can be regarded as the grandson of Saint Emperor Fuxi in terms of seniority.
Naturally, he had to pay homage to the Holy Emperor Fuxi with the courtesy of a junior.
…
Holding the seal in his hand.
Meng Bai's white hair quickly turned from white to black.
The wrinkles that had appeared on the face disappeared instantly.
The tired body immediately becomes full of energy.
The dragon patterns were intertwined, and the soul began to crystallize.
He looked in front of him and naturally understood what he should do.
"The sinner Ji Xing and others..." Meng Bai raised the seal in his hand high: "Guilty!"
"Those who kill will die, and those who hurt others and steal will not be punished!"
"Sinners who commit murder deserve to die!"
"I, Meng Bai, the temporary manager of Liu County, now, by the orders of all living beings and entrusted by all the surnames, sentence you to death!"
"A life for a life!"
"One injury for another injury!"
"Other dead and guilty ministers of the State of Lu should also be punished in the same way!"
After saying that, the seal in his hand suddenly shook, and a dragon roared.
The radiance of humanity overflowed from it and sprinkled on the hundreds of magic weapons, awakening the obsession of the wronged souls within them.
Bang bang bang!
Each magical instrument was trembling. On the high platform, sinners one after another raised their heads in despair.
But all they saw was that among hundreds of magical artifacts, terrifying figures crawled out one after another.
They are the innocent souls of those mortals who were tortured and killed, the monsters who were cramped and skinned, and the water tribe whose hearts and livers were ripped out.
Most of these wronged souls have long been shattered and obliterated by the refining techniques of various evil weapons, leaving only some residues and scraps.
Most of them have even forgotten their memories.
However, they pieced together each other and spliced into terrifying and ferocious monsters.
They roared, screamed, and carried obsessions. Even after they died, even though their memories had been erased, the remaining obsessions crawled over.
For myself, and for the victims who don't even have soul fragments left.
Yesterday's revenge, today's revenge.
Joy! Joy!
As a result, these remnant souls transformed into the most ferocious ghosts and turned into the most terrifying nightmares.
Get in line one by one.
Under the power of humanity, these evil ghosts and nightmares who had no memory began to return the pain and torture they had suffered in life to these sinners.
fair enough!
Right!
You kill me once, I'll kill you once.
You behead me, I'll behead you!
You chop my flesh, I'll eat your flesh!
The line of cause and effect vibrated, and in Xu Ji's perception, the cyan horn was pulling something.
Soon Xu Ji knew that the horn was pulling the soul.
The souls of sinners who have been reincarnated are now hooked back by this horn.
It’s not that you don’t report that the time has not come yet!
Now, noon has arrived!
Those who owe debts must pay them back.
"It is indeed a mythical world!" Xu Ji looked at all these and sighed in his heart.
On Blue Star, the most that can be done to criminals is to shoot them.
No matter what crime the criminal committed.
After the verdict is pronounced, there is only one death left.
Even, for the sake of humanity, most death sentences are painless injections.
Many countries have even abolished the death penalty altogether.
But in this world where Taoism manifests itself and there is cause and effect, this is not the case.
Even if the punished sinners are dead or reincarnated, they still cannot escape punishment.
And, death is just the beginning.
The world where Taoism manifests itself has tortures that can make sinners regretful.
On the high platform, the high-ranking officials in the past were now swallowed up by terrifying figures.
The wronged souls lined up.
Densely packed and endless.
This will be a near-eternal torture.
All sinners will be punished.
They will be tortured for eternity in pain and despair.
Until the last remaining soul is satisfied, until the day their sins are completely repaid.
At that time, they will be wiped out along with their sins.
Seeing this, Xu Ji reached out his hand and gently grabbed the horn.
The cyan horn looks real.
In fact, it is illusory.
Just like a rainbow, it's right in front of you, but you can't reach it.
It is also like particles in the air, swaying with the wind in the sunshine. If you reach out to touch it at the window, you will only encounter loneliness.
The same is true for this unicorn.
It doesn't seem to exist, it's just an illusion, an illusion.
However, in Xu Ji's hands, it seemed to be a real thing, with flesh and blood.
In my ears, the prayers of countless people are playing back.
Xu Ji looked at the view of the high platform.
"This place shouldn't be exposed to the world like this!"
Those countless innocent souls took turns to torture and kill sinners in different ways over and over again, although it was quite comfortable to watch.
However, it is not suitable for long-term existence in the human world.
Too bloody and too terrifying.
Children will have nightmares if they watch it.
Even the children in this mythical world are much stronger than the children in Blue Star.
But this scene is still too hellish.
Thinking like this, a golden wheel appeared behind Xu Ji's head.
The mathematical clock rises from it.
This was a subconscious move on his part.
The mathematical clock fell into his hand, Xu Ji pushed it gently, and the little clock flew up.
It rotated and flew to the high platform, covering the sinners one by one.
In my ears, the prayers and supplications of countless people echoed.
Xu Ji looked at the innocent souls on the high platform.
He knew that those innocent souls were the parents, brothers, and sisters of countless people...
But because of the sins of the immortal descendants of Lu, they not only suffered terrible abuse and torture during their lifetimes.
Even after death, the soul cannot rest in peace.
even……
There is no future left.
Under the eyes of Taoist ancestors, all those souls are hopeless.
It seems that even Daozu cannot save them.
but……
Xu Ji raised his head and looked at the sky.
If this mythical world is willing to let him come back, it means that it is possible for him to save these poor souls.
"Even the old gods can't do anything, what can I do?" Xu Ji thought.
The willow branches are lingering and the willow leaves are fluttering.
Countless streams of light surround the willow tree.
At this time, the sun has set, and the winter night in Liu County has fallen.
On the dark winter night, stars began to appear in the sky.
The swaying light and shadow of the willow tree became particularly conspicuous in Xu Ji's eyes.
The horn in his hand, which had no body but felt warm under Daozu's touch, moved slightly at this moment.
At this moment, Xu Ji seemed to understand something.
"Tao, magic and magic cannot save these poor people..."
"But in this mythical world, there must be some kind of solution that is unknown today, but I can think of!"
"Even this horn reminds me..."
The mathematical clock is ticking.
On the inner wall of the clock body, crystals began to shine.
The bright light intersects with the halo of the willow tree in the distance.
It was also intertwined with the faint blue light of the illusory horn in his hand.
Xu Ji felt that he had found the answer.
but……
This answer, however, requires a final touch.
The finishing touch?
Xu Ji thought about it.
In this mythical world, in addition to Taoism and supernatural powers, there is also incense!
"Do you want incense?" he asked.
The horn trembled slightly.
The starlight falling from the stars in the sky sprinkles on the earth.
Xu Ji turned around and said to Meng Bai: "Meng Bai!"
"How much fragrant copper, heavenly silver, and heavenly gold does Liu County have in stock now?"
Meng Bai bowed and replied: "Reporting to Tianzun, there are currently about 500,000 ingots of fragrant copper, 200,000 ingots of celestial silver, and about 3,000 ingots of celestial gold!"
It looks like a lot.
But it is the savings that Liu Jun has saved through frugality over the years.
It is also a strategic reserve, a resource intended to build a national defense array for the capital after the war.
After Xu Ji listened, a string in his heart seemed to be plucked.
In his hand, the soap-black divine sword began to shake at the right time.
The voice of the old god appeared in his ears.
"The number of Dayan is fifty, and its use is ninety-nine forty!"
"All living beings in the three realms have a chance to survive!"
boom!
Lightning surged on the scabbard of the divine sword.
At this time, Xu Ji finally determined that only he could do this.
To be precise, it is something that he can only do with the Taoism and magical powers of the old gods.
because……
That glimmer of hope is in his hands.
The chance of survival for hundreds of thousands or even millions of remnant souls is now in his hands.
Moreover, this life is fleeting.
He must find the source of life immediately.
Every second that passes means the disappearance of thousands of innocent souls.
The light and shadow of the willow tree swayed.
The divine sword in his hand hummed softly.
In the wilderness on a winter night, the stars twinkle.
Inside the mathematical clock, crystal stones emit bright light.
He saw the stars in the sky and the figures swaying in the light and shadow of the willow trees.
"number?!"
"math……"
"I probably know it!" he said.
However, since the matter was serious, he needed to conduct an experiment.
So, he looked at the people in front of him who still refused to leave under the high platform.
He also looked at the willow tree and the families of the victims who were watching at home and at school, listening and feeling.
Those millions of people, those countless husbands, wives, children, elders.
Their heartbeats, their prayers, their prayers... come together.
"I may have a way to give those remnant souls who died in vain a chance of survival!"
"But...the success rate is extremely low, and the cost is extremely high!"
"The entire Liu County's incense and incense savings may be exhausted because of this!"
"I cannot make my own decisions!"
"This decision is made by all sentient beings!"
"Depleted several years of the county's savings..."
"There may be a one percent chance that the remaining souls of these people who were killed and tortured can get a chance to reshape their souls, or even re-enter reincarnation and be reincarnated as human beings!"
"Let's all decide!"
"Everyone come and vote!"
Although Xu Ji can use all the resources in Liu County for his own use with just one order, no one will object to this process.
It may even be taken for granted.
But Seo Ji wouldn't do such a thing.
In this mythical world, Xu Ji witnessed with his own eyes the process of the working people using their hard work, bravery and blood and sweat day by day to transform the land of Liu County from barren to fertile soil.
The human race, the water race, the demon race, the asuras, and the shaman race all fight endlessly for it.
Therefore, the resources and wealth of Liu County are the wealth of the working people.
They belong to the people.
It was impossible for Xu Ji to take the fruits of other people's labor as his own.
At least it's impossible for him now.
Not just because he is human.
Especially because he was once a member of the working people.
They once belonged to the exploited working people.
This empathy transcends the world.
It also transcends class.
At least, today's Xu Ji is not yet capable of brazenly claiming that all my achievements are the result of my intelligence.
fart!
Without the old god, he would still be playing games in the convenience store.
If he hadn't been beaten up by the blessings, he would have foolishly believed those lies spun by consumerism.
