Chapter 117: Defection(1/2)
Gao Chengchuan rubbed his eyes, and at the moment when his sight and hearing were cut off, he raised his head with a solemn expression.
Wanluo Palace is heavily guarded. Apart from this place, other Forbidden Army troops stationed in the capital have probably died at the hands of ghosts, right?
Is the price... a bit too high?
The temple is still calm, except for the overly dark sky, everything seems to be under control. However, half a day has passed since the prince came up. Why hasn't His Majesty issued any orders yet?
Gao Chengchuan was restless and couldn't help pacing back and forth, thinking about various possibilities in his mind. Did the prince compromise? Was he persuaded by His Majesty to give up this coup? Or was His Majesty persuaded by him?
No, neither is possible.
Gao Chengchuan's face was livid. With the personalities of the father and son, it was impossible for them to surrender to each other and compromise at this point. This suffocating silence at the moment will definitely bring about a more violent storm and involve the entire imperial capital in a bloody storm.
middle!
The next moment, his guess quickly came true - a burst of fierce golden light erupted from the top of the temple, illuminating the entire imperial capital like a holy light. Before everyone could recover from the surprise, all the light sank into darkness in a blink of an eye, and the entire
The world suddenly fell into dead silence.
Gao Chengchuan nervously clenched the Yandi Sword in his hand. The originally red long sword was now immersed in such darkness, unable to reveal any light at all.
Then, incredible stars appeared in the dark night. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand, feeling as if those bright stars were within reach.
Emperor Tianquan stood at the top of the temple, holding a long sword with golden light in his hand. It was this sword that split the sky of the imperial city, forcing the Earthbound Spirit that sneaked up behind him to retreat with one blow, but
Such a bright color only lasted for a few seconds, and the magical power from the Night King instantly swallowed up the golden light at a faster speed.
The Earthbound Spirit was injured and retreated, turning into a blurry figure. One of the ten spirits was originally killed by the awakened ancient species in the dungeon, and His Majesty killed three of them directly with this sword!
It didn't even see clearly where the opponent drew the sword from, and what kind of movement he used to instantly hurt it. The monster gasped and didn't dare to move rashly. Sure enough... This is the person who can stand on the top of Feiyuan and sit on it.
A man with the blood of two gods!
Those eyes are brighter than usual, like the sun that cannot be looked directly into.
The appearance of the earth-bound spirit is constantly changing. One moment it is a beautiful adult woman, and the next it turns into an innocent and lovely child. Emperor Tianquan looked at the monster in front of him thoughtfully, because after being severely injured, he could not return again for a while.
Transformed, the body it once used is flashing in the spirit state.
"Since when did Your Majesty start to be wary of me?" With shock and confusion, the Earthbound Spirit spoke in various different voices.
"It hasn't been that long since you came back like this." Emperor Tianquan raised his eyes and sneered coldly, with disdain and contempt for monsters, "I remember that you were once a member of the Yangchuan Sun Temple.
The saint is a saint who serves the twin gods of the sun and the moon. It must have been more than forty years ago. That year, my eldest brother and I had a fierce conflict, and we also secretly planned to kill my brother and my father to seize Feiyuan's throne.
The internal struggles between the political power and the imperial power caused turmoil in the four realms. I was tired of resolving these conflicts. You appeared around that time. When I first met you, you were even a very beautiful girl..."
Emperor Tianquan recalled its appearance back then. She was wearing a golden feathered coat and her face was as beautiful as the rising sun. It gave him the illusion that the woman in front of him really seemed to serve the "Sun God".
"Not long after, the Yangchuan Capital reported that a strange corpse arrest case had occurred in the city, resulting in the death of a large number of innocent people. The murderer was none other than the then saint An Yu. The Capital Adhering to ancient precepts, the Capital Lord had no choice but to expel her.
, If you still want to kill, you must ask your father to give the order personally." Emperor Tianquan sighed and unconsciously turned the sword in his hand. The sword was made of condensed golden light, and seemed to have no entity like the Three Holy Swords.
He said, "That was the critical period for me to seize power. You had the power of fortune and could help me avoid the prying eyes of the sun god. I really kept you here out of selfish motives."
"Haha." The Earthbound Spirit laughed, with a hint of ridicule, "His Majesty was so ambitious at that time that the monsters couldn't help but want to help you."
"But I didn't detect any aura of monsters in you." Emperor Tianquan's eyes were stern, but a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It wasn't until you showed up that I discovered that Palace Master An Yu, whom I trusted,
It’s just the demon’s earth-bound spirit.”
Forty years ago, the old palace master of the Star Sacrifice Palace had reached his twilight years. His father was eager to find a suitable candidate to take over the position of palace master, and An Yu happened to appear. Although she was carrying thousands of people in Yangchuan,
However, for the imperial capital, any sin of a woman with the power of "Heavenly Calculation" can be forgiven! It was he who personally advised his father and promoted An Yu to the position of the Grand Master of the Star Sacrifice Palace.
!
And his selfish intention was to deal with the Eye of the Sun in the Star Sacrifice Palace. In order to prevent his father from noticing his coup attempt, he needed someone who could directly control the Star Sacrifice Palace, and An Yu was the most powerful person at that time.
Good candidate.
Four years later, he killed his brother and father in one night, and sat on the throne of Feiyuan Continent. From the beginning to the end, the Star Festival Palace, which budgeted for the royal family's fortunes and crises, did not notice anything unusual. It was precisely because of the Great Palace
Lord An Yu was originally his.
"Anyway, I can be regarded as the hero who helped you achieve hegemony, right?" The earth-bound spirit breathed a sigh of relief, and the remaining six spirits gathered together and transformed into the appearance of the girl back then. Emperor Tianquan only felt that the sight in front of him
This person was particularly dazzling, and even made him feel a kind of nameless anger, "I have the blood of the royal family. It is impossible for me to be unaware of the earth-bound spirit, one of the three demons, for forty years. Let the master behind you show up in person."
Let’s meet him in person.”
"My master..." The Earth-bound Spirit chuckled in a low voice, and the atmosphere was a bit strange, "My old master is the person you once cooperated with, Lord Night King of the Heaven Realm, and my new master..."
The earth-bound spirit suddenly raised its hand and pointed at the stars in the sky that seemed to be within reach. Emperor Tianquan felt a chill all over his body. From the corner of his eyes, he suddenly saw a bunch of colorful lights falling on the top of the temple. The mirrored ground shattered with a "pop".
The cracks extended all the way to his feet.
"Master." The earth-bound spirit breathed a sigh of relief. The man raised his hand and passed directly through the monster. He used his own divine power to help its remaining spirit body recover. Then he waved his hand casually and said, "Stay back."
"Healing the monster?" Emperor Tianquan's eyes were sharp. Although he was aware of the surging divine power on the other party, he couldn't help but feel contempt when he saw the movements of his hands.
The surrounding stars shone brightly, and Pengshan turned around and faced the human emperor for the first time.
"Yes, so what?" he asked, not caring, "Didn't Your Majesty also rely on the help of monsters to achieve what he is today? The sea demon Kurosaki... was also released by you yourself."
"Did you hide the aura of the monster?" Emperor Tianquan showed no fear at all, and clenched the sword tightly in his hand again, "No wonder the earth-bound spirit can hide people's eyes and ears for so long. If you get the help of the heaven, everything will become
It makes sense, but I don’t understand what King Chen’s purpose is?”
"Oh? You...can actually recognize me?" Pengshan was a little surprised. Although the legend of the Heaven Realm is spread across thousands of floating islands, being able to recognize his identity with just one glance was still far beyond expectations.
.
"The power of the stars is for King Chen. This is one of the few things written about the twelve gods in the royal history books."
"Historical books..." Pengshan repeated these two words silently, but his lips pursed into a straight line little by little, and his smile became sharp, "It's the two of them who stayed, right? Humph, it's not surprising, they have always been like this,
Self-imposed as the sun and moon, in vain to live as long as the heaven and the earth, and even voluntarily gave up the so-called mortal body for that absurd cultivation method. Now I can't feel the existence of the two of them at all. After all, they have really transformed into
Is this part of heaven and earth already dead?"
Emperor Tianquan's expression changed slightly. Why did King Chen, who came from the heaven above, have such obvious mood changes at this moment?
There are actually very few records of the heavenly realm in the royal history books. Not even all the twelve gods are recorded in the books. The most mentioned one, except for their ancestors, the sun and the moon, is Chen, who has the power of the stars.
king.
There are only a few sentences about him in the book, but if we only take it literally, it should be that he has a very good relationship with the sun and moon gods, and even walks side by side.
However, at this moment, King Chen showed an extreme disgust, even anger that he could not understand.
"Huh, let me tell you the truth." Pengshan looked at the sky intently, as if he could see the distant heaven at a glance, and smiled bitterly, "The last obstacle to the heaven was an ancient black dragon, until it was killed by the God of War.
After beheading the heads, my fellow practitioners and I truly became the masters there. The upper level is the Day Palace, the lower level is the Eternal Night Palace, and in the center is the twilight sea where the stars gather. From the beginning, it was your ancestors, the Sun and the Moon.
Join forces with me to create its prototype, and then other practitioners will work together to preserve time forever and become a true realm of God."
Emperor Tianquan remained silent, and the golden light in his eyes dimmed a bit. That was indeed the world that Feng Jiuqing once described to him. Even today, when he heard a similar description from King Chen again, he still couldn't help it.
Imagine what kind of place that is.
"Later, they began to decide to give up their bodies for the absurd belief in spiritual practice." King Chen suddenly changed the subject, and before Emperor Tianquan could understand, he continued, "Don't you understand what I'm talking about at all?
Let me make it clearer. They decided to give up their lives and sacrifice their lives in exchange for the opportunity to live as long as heaven and earth. However, despite their belief, they encountered various difficulties in executing it. Every time, they
They all made themselves half dead. I saved them many times and threw them to Zi Su, but even so, I still couldn't stop them."
Pengshan smiled coldly. Such memories made him feel a little uncomfortable. He pressed his forehead hard and said, "It just happened over and over again. I was the one who collapsed first."
The last dispute was in the Sea of Twilight. Fellow practitioners who had fallen into the demonic barrier angrily accused him - "How can the power of the stars compete with the sun and the moon?"
It turns out that in the eyes of the two of them, their efforts to stop, retain, and save them time and time again were just overestimation of their abilities, because how could the power of the stars compete with the sun and the moon?
He left the heaven angrily, and he didn't know how much time had passed. But when he came back again, everything was different. There was no news from Di Zhong, Xi Hui became an unconscious remnant soul, and he
The two former best friends no longer have any breath.
Since then, perhaps still with unresolved feelings, he has been secretly paying attention to the descendants of the two gods who stayed on Pro Island. They are the kings of that floating island, respected by thousands of people, and they are undoubtedly excellent and qualified as rulers.
of.
"Until you appeared -" Pengshan suddenly raised his eyes to face Emperor Tianquan and let out a long sigh, "I felt a similar demonic barrier in you, exactly the same as your ancestors at that time. Although the paths of fellow practitioners are different,
But I have never recognized their ideas, because we have never been true gods, but they always overestimate their capabilities and want to become true gods, ha... you know, to this day, I have not felt their influence again anywhere.
Aura, most likely he is really trying to kill himself. If he is so eager to die, why should he leave behind descendants? You, you all, should follow the footsteps of those two people and live as long as heaven and earth."
"So... Feitian's dream is just a scam?" Emperor Tianquan finally realized this and his tone trembled unconsciously.
"Of course it's just a scam. I gave the Earth-bound Spirit the power of fortune-telling, just to make you believe in the dream of flying to the sky?" Pengshan shook his head and laughed, as if years of resentment were vented in an instant, "
In order to make this scam more realistic, I personally designed the Ten Palaces of Hell Formation to teach you how to use the power of resentful spirits to divide Feiyuan Continent, allowing you to slaughter innocent people wantonly on this land, as if...
…Like the initial Blood Tea Formation.”
"It's just that I slightly underestimated the power of the ancient species." Pengshan sighed and pondered for a moment, "The ancient species is extremely rare, and even I have never really encountered it. When the Ten Halls of Hell Formation was first activated,
, I thought that Tianyu City should be able to break away from Feiyuan Continent, and then crash due to lack of strength during its ascent, but I miscalculated. The ancient species forcibly held the broken land, and even caused the Ten Halls of Hell Formation to be destroyed.
Forced to stop.”
"From that time on, you knew that the separation of the four realms was impossible, but you still... induced me to continue looking for a way." Emperor Tianquan's tone began to become heavy, and such a huge and deep conspiracy made his cheeks even more gloomy,
"You revealed some information to me, telling me that there is a powerful force deep in the foundation. As long as it can be found and used, Tianyu City can be lifted back to its homeland. This force is that ancient species, and only with human power
