Chapter 269 Proclaiming Emperor
Chapter 269 Proclaiming Emperor
"Fell into a trap... fell into what trap?" Li Wuxiang asked anxiously in his heart, "What is Jiang Jie going to do!?"
"Become an immortal. Become the Great Emperor of Heavenly Destiny."
"So he is...you are...were you tricked by him or what? What does he want to do?"
Li Ye didn't say anything and fell silent.
Li Wuxiang could only feel that his skin was filled with weight, heavy, as if it was filled with ice.
At this time, the disciples of the thirty-six sects had all walked down the platform. Mei Qiulu stood beside Li Wuxiang and asked him to pay homage. There was no displeasure on their faces, but they looked more pious and reverent, and began to kowtow three times and nine times respectfully to the platform.
Li Wuxiang spoke again in his mind: "Hey, Li Ye, say something? I don't think now is the time to act like a boss. What do you think?"
He knew that he made this joke because he was afraid. Everyone is afraid, it just depends on whether you can suppress the fear in your heart.
But now Li Wuxiang felt that he could no longer suppress his emotions, because he seemed to have lost hope. In the past, he felt that there were always many things to look forward to - the external evil, the Sword Sect, changes in the situation, unknown opportunities, and even something in the sacred mountain.
However, everything became clear at this moment - the evil spirit was in his body, Mei Qiulu was beside him, and they were all on the Star Chariot.
Their opponent is Jiang Jie, the Great Emperor of Heaven. As for the situation and opportunities... these seem to be what the Great Emperor of Heaven is in charge of right now - even the foreign evil was tricked into coming in by him!
In the past, if he could move around in a box garden, now, Li Wuxiang felt like a person trapped in water. The water surface had submerged the top of the box, and he could hardly find any breathing space.
Almost...his only remaining hope is this Li Ye.
But he finally heard Li Ye say: "From now on."
He also said: "If it ends here, it will be considered perfect."
What depressing nonsense! ?
The first round of prostration was completed. Perhaps because Li Ye was in his skin, Li Wuxiang felt the power - he had felt the power of vows before, but this time the power of vows was like a tide, surging from all directions and pouring into his skin.
Mei Qiulu once said that he should have a chance to become an infant. Li Wuxiang didn’t know if she was talking about now - he felt that his cultivation was also improving by leaps and bounds, and he was really approaching the critical point of becoming an infant!
However, he felt that the stronger he became, the more he could not leave the throne - it was as if he was cast on it!
The people in the audience began to bow three times and kowtow nine times again. This pure and real power gave Li Wuxiang some confidence. He said loudly in his mind: "Can't you think of a way? I feel like I'm about to become an infant... Is there any way I can help you? Send you back? You are a true spirit... Can't you ask your original body for help?"
Li Ye seemed to smile. But if a smile could be solidified, if Li Ye was a living person at this moment, then his smile would be like brittle ice, shattering from his face: "You seem to always be looking for opportunities and ways. Li Wuxiang, will you never feel despair?"
"Don't talk nonsense. I could sense that you were very anxious when you were about to come over. Why are you pretending to be so cool now?"
"What you feel is not emotion, but essence. You will understand it later."
Under the high platform, people from the thirty-six sects prostrated themselves in worship like a wave. Li Wuxiang tried to get up from the throne, but was unable to move.
"If you don't want to do it now, there will be no future! You are Taiyi! Daozu! Do you want to wait for death? The Xuanjiao is suppressing you because they are afraid of your human destiny. I will help you get you out, and you go tell the Xuanjiao that there is another person in Dajie Mountain now-"
"I am this person."
The disciples of the thirty-six sects stood up. More powerful power poured into Li Wuxiang's body, and he felt that he was "full" - he had never cultivated to the point of becoming an infant, but now he felt that he was about to become one.
However, he also felt that it was impossible. It was as if he had known his fate, or knew that such fate did not exist. The idea of "becoming an infant" seemed to be cut off from his mind and became distant, so far that he could never catch it!
"You... are the real one?! What do you mean? Aren't you suppressed?!"
Li Wuxiang felt his whole body go cold. Whether it was the hope brought by the abundant energy in his body or the despair brought by the inability to become an infant, they were all extinguished at once because of this sentence. But he felt that he calmed down in an instant, and even felt that he had experienced a little bit of the feeling of "If I hear the truth in the morning, I am willing to die in the evening" -
He said he was the real one?
The external evil is the real one?
What's the meaning! ?
"I am Taiyi, the destiny of humanity. The root of the destiny of humanity is man, and the root of man is the soul."
Li Ye spoke in his body and mind, his tone was calm, but Li Wuxiang felt that he was just reciting a eulogy, explaining his last wishes, or carving a tombstone for himself!
"As long as you suppress the human soul, you are suppressing the destiny of humanity, and you are suppressing me. So, the Xuanjiao did suppress me, but——"
"——It is suppressing the Netherworld." Li Wuxiang felt that his mind had finally opened up. But the biting cold wind that blew in chilled him to the very bottom of his heart...
This matter is not difficult to understand at all. Really, as long as you hear what Li Ye is saying now, it is not difficult to understand at all -
He understood why the Netherworld Mother looked dying when he saw her in Youjiuyuan, and he also understood why the Netherworld Cult went into seclusion after defeating Taiyi three thousand years ago.
This truth has been said many times by many people at many times...As long as there are human beings, there will be human destiny!
If you want to suppress or repress, what should you do? The simplest and most direct way is to use a small number of people!
As a result, only a small population was left in the Xuan Sect...Those who are still alive are all "seed people" with good qualifications who can produce even better-qualified practitioners!
When the Ye Dynasty was prosperous, the population was one billion, and these people were the foundation of humanity's destiny. But now there are only tens of millions of them in the world... The rest are all imprisoned in the underworld and cannot be reincarnated. Therefore, this is the means to suppress Donghuang Taiyi!
"That--"
"Donghuang Taiyi is them." Li Ye said, "They are the real body of Donghuang Taiyi. Donghuang Taiyi has no true spirit, or in other words, everyone can be the true spirit of Donghuang Taiyi. And I am a memory. If the destiny of humanity is combined with my memory, it is Donghuang Taiyi. If it is combined with Jiang Jie's memory, it is Dutian Siming. Li Wuxiang, do you understand?"
"I……"
"Humanity's destiny, Donghuang Taiyi, and Li Ye are a trinity, but they are not inseparable. Li Ye and humanity's destiny are Donghuang Taiyi, and Jiang Jie and humanity's destiny are Dutian Siming. I did not create humanity's destiny, I just cultivated it and controlled it. And now, the driver has changed."
The second round of prostration ended. Mei Qiulu spoke loudly, and more than a hundred people in the audience prostrated themselves again.
Li Wuxiang stared at them, and it took him a while to come to his senses: "Replacing someone... Replacing someone means taking away your luck authority, right? How did he do it? Can't we find a way out from here?"
"It is easier to take away authority than you think. Authority is not the root, the root of authority is the root. Can you figure it out?"
Li Wuxiang was stunned for a moment.
Li Ye said, "Jiang Jie is the Seventh Lord of Hell of the Netherworld Cult."
Because of this sentence, he figured it out. Human destiny... is not invisible and intangible, it is real, it is the souls of those who are imprisoned in the netherworld and cannot be reincarnated.
And Jiang Jie is the Seventh Master, the Seventh Lord of Hell... He can easily obtain and control some human souls? And... and...
A thought vaguely emerged in Li Wuxiang's mind, and he needed to verify it: "So Jiang Jie caused chaos in the world——" "You have figured it out."
He figured it out.
"Jiang Jie has been eating away at your luck... your soul, and has it reached a... critical point? You knew that you would fail if this continued, so you took the risk of using me to enter the Nether Nine Abyss and trigger the East Emperor Seal, wanting to ask the Xuanjiao people to deal with Jiang Jie?"
"Ah."
"Jiang Jie also knew what was going on, so he faked his death and fled back to the Netherworld so that no one in the world could find him. Then a great war broke out... Countless people were killed and injured, and more souls went to the Netherworld, so he could control more, and then... quantitative change, qualitative change... he took away your authority?"
"Yeah. It's simple."
"Why didn't the other members of the Netherworld Cult do the same? Why didn't the Netherworld Earth Mother do the same?"
"You have seen what the Netherworld Mother looks like. If she is like this, how much more so is Lord Yama. Jiang Jie is just a fish that slipped through the net of the Netherworld Cult and escaped to the Yang World to lurk."
Li Wuxiang understood. The Netherworld Earth Mother must have been defeated by the Xuanjiao at the beginning... Using her half-dead body, she imprisoned 900 million dead souls. The Netherworld Earth Mother was like this... The other nine Yama Kings should have been gone long ago.
At this moment, he understood what Jiang Jie had said to him when they met outside You Jiuyuan.
At that time, he saw the pale body of the Netherworld Earth Mother, and Jiang Jie said that it was the remains of Taiyi. [Note 1]
At that time, Taiyi was the destiny of humanity, and the destiny of humanity was the 900 million souls being held captive. Therefore, it was indeed the Netherworld Mother Earth, and it was indeed the remains of Taiyi!
The poor swordsmen of the Sword Sect have been searching for three thousand years... but Taiyi’s remains are not in the world of the living, but in the underworld!
"Then why did he trick you here? Didn't he win anyway?!"
Li Ye seemed to smile again, but this smile was also extremely cold.
"Cut the grass and uproot it. In other words, erase everything I have left behind."
Li Wuxiang felt his body straighten slightly and sat up straight on the throne. He knew that this was what the evil... Li Ye was doing.
But he wasn't going to intervene.
It’s still the evil Li Ye, cold, arrogant, and cunning.
But now that he heard what he said, Li Wuxiang couldn't help but feel some sorrow and sympathy. This feeling might have been influenced by Li Ye, but he could also tell how much was sincere - the saddest things in the world are the end of heroes and the old age of beauties.
External evils are familiar to him, right?
After all, it had been in his body since he opened his eyes and came into this world. Now that he had figured out these things, he realized that Li Ye... this memory of Li Ye did not seem to have any deep malice towards him.
"This is where it starts." Li Ye straightened his chest and looked at the people below the stage.
"The Great Emperor Du Tian Siming wants not only power, but also everything I once had."
"The world still remembers Donghuang Taiyi, and Donghuang Taiyi is the emperor of Daye. Today, he wants me to become the emperor again, and then erase me as the emperor."
"From then on, everyone who is Donghuang Taiyi is the God of Destiny. I have fought and argued over the years, but since it has come to this today, my fate has come to an end."
"It's nothing. It's the same no matter who you are. In fact, I've been tired for a long time."
The little hope of "almost" was also shattered.
The people in the audience knelt one last time and then stood up.
Li Wuxiang felt that his body was completely integrated with the throne beneath him, not only here and now, but also in the past and future.
"I have come to your body. I am you and you are me. I am the emperor of the Ye Dynasty. You are also the emperor of the Ye Dynasty now, Li Ye, and Donghuang Taiyi."
Li Ye said, "This is the method used by the current Dutian Siming. Li Wuxiang, do you think you are going to become an infant?"
"No. If you can't become an infant, don't count on me. Du Tian Siming will make both you and me stop at the peak of the Golden Core. The Golden Core is a seed of vitality. I once helped you beat Mou Zhenyuan back to the Nascent Soul stage, and now Du Tian Siming has beaten me back to the Golden Core, a seed. This seed of vitality is the beginning and the beginning. If it's stronger, Du Tian Siming will feel that he has no confidence. If it's weaker, and he can't become a seed of vitality, Li Ye will not be Li Ye, and the emperor will not be the emperor."
"It's time for him to take action."
Li Wuxiang felt that he was almost infected by Li Ye's emotions.
Calm... In the calm lies a despair as deep as the sea!
But he didn't want to despair! He still wanted to think! He still wanted to search! He still wanted to find a way to survive, he still wanted to find a chance!
"Mei Qiulu... You must know this Mei Qiulu next to us, right? She is the strongest Nascent Soul in the world, but she has never been able to produce a Yang Soul. If she produces a Yang Soul and is no longer in the Three Realms and Five Elements, she might be able to help us! Can you make her produce a Yang Soul!?"
"She will give birth to the Yang God today."
"After today, Du Tian Siming will not stay in Lingshan. Lingshan has the upper heaven and the true spirits. He will return to the world and become the Jiang Jie of the past again - the best swordsman in the world, unrivaled in the world."
"Mei Qiulu is the physical body he has been nurturing. He will become the second Li Ye and Taiyi, fighting in the world like he did before. This is what I said, it is the same for everyone. Jiang Jie's tactics have convinced me of my defeat."
"You're talking nonsense!" Li Wuxiang roared in his heart, "Are you convinced? Then why are you telling me all this bullshit!? Do you have anything else to say to me? Say it! Say it now! Anything is fine!"
"——Your Majesty." Li Wuxiang heard the voice.
It sounded like the voice coming from Mei Qiulu beside her, and also like the voices coming from everyone under the platform.
But they were all exactly the same, it was Jiang Jie's voice.
But they are all exactly the same, and look like Jiang Jie.
"Your Majesty - please, Your Majesty, Dragon Riding Bintian."
