Chapter 732: Gods and Buddhas join hands to bear the demonic calamity

Before they were deified, Lu Xiong, the God of Water Virtue, and Yang Ren, the God of Jiazi, were both wise ministers of the Shang Dynasty, the kind of good officials who were loyal and cared about the people.

Therefore, although he came here to suppress the Blood Sea Demon Clan that broke through the Ghost Gate of Mount Tai, he was still thinking about the suffering of all living beings in the context of the severe drought in the world.

Wen Rui drained all the water from the five lakes and four seas, which was equivalent to completely destroying the atmospheric water cycle of the prehistoric continent. The ocean evaporation disappeared, making it impossible for clouds to gather in the sky anymore.

The climate of the entire Honghuang is somewhat similar to the Gobi Desert area in XJ, with unbearable heat during the day and freezing cold at night.

Due to the severe drought, the ecosystem is on the verge of collapse, and plants are withering and dying on a large scale.

Fortunately, Wen Rui transferred a large number of animals and preserved the Doomsday Seed Bank, retaining most of the living plant samples, thus avoiding a mass extinction event.

The subjects of the Zhou Dynasty and the Western Christians in Xiniu Hezhou were not having a good time now. Severe drought had caused the crops to fail, and with the harvest season approaching, a large-scale famine was imminent.

Fortunately, it has not been long since the ocean was drained, only about three months, and it is not yet the New Year, so humans still have food reserves.

However, most of these stored grains were in the hands of nobles, lords, and monks. Ordinary people did not have enough food for three days. Even if they did, they would be forcibly plundered by the lords who had sensed the impending drought.

As for drinking water, although the water in rivers, lakes and seas has disappeared, groundwater is still there, and a little well water can be dug out by digging deep wells.

These scarce water sources are also controlled by those in power, and ordinary people who take a sip will be sentenced to torture.

Many ordinary people have died of starvation and thirst, and Wen Rui's karma is quietly accumulating.

However, despite being the initiator of the severe drought, Wen Rui's business report did not grow very fast during this period.

During this period, the proportion of human deaths caused by man-made disasters far exceeded that caused by natural disasters. A large amount of karmic retribution was distributed among the ruling class of the human race, and less of it fell on Wen Rui.

But if the drought continues, the last bit of food and water will be exhausted, and more than 20 million people will die from the drought. Wen Rui's sin will be too great.

This is also one of the reasons why he did not wholeheartedly invest all the resources he had accumulated to fight desperately with the Blood Sea Demon Mosquito outside the gates of hell.

If Wen Rui tried harder, he might be able to hold out at the Ghost Gate for a year or two, but this would do him no good and would be a sheer loss-making deal.

After delaying for enough time, it was time to give up the gates of hell, so he chose to give up decisively. Otherwise, before the demon mosquitoes could enter the mortal world, the mortal world would be completely destroyed by Wen Rui's scorched earth strategy.

On another auspicious cloud, the three Buddhas, Tathagata Buddha, Dipankara Buddha and Maitreya Buddha, were all sitting cross-legged, gazing at the towering Mount Tai below. Their three pairs of wise eyes had penetrated the yin and yang, and their divine eyes were opened to see the tragic scene of the battlefield in the underworld.

The Ultron Legion's defense line built around the Ghost Gate portal has been shattered, the artillery array stretching for hundreds of miles has been mostly destroyed, and the melee heavy mechas at the forefront are in tatters.

The corpses of the magic mosquitoes covered the ground, but there was a new kind of devouring insect in the insect swarm. This kind of insect swallowed the corpses of its own kind, and after being full, it quickly crawled to the artificial blood lake at the rear, and discharged the nutrients that had been digested into meat residues into the lake, which became the raw material for breeding a new generation of magic mosquitoes.

The artificial blood lake was filled with insect eggs. From time to time, a magic mosquito would break out of the eggs, dry its wings on the shore, and then flap its wings to rush to the front line.

"Buddha Tathagata, you have been observing the monsters for a long time. In your opinion, how likely are we to seal the demon mosquitoes in the earth?"

The ancient Buddha Ran Deng asked slowly. "The cause and effect are unclear, so it is unknown."

The Tathagata Buddha looked solemn and dignified, with no sadness or joy. He answered with an echoing voice, "To end this calamity, we must cut off its source. As long as the sea of blood does not dry up, the demon mosquitoes will continue to reproduce and continue to come. They can never be completely killed. The defense line built by Emperor Wen Rui of Jietian was very strong. In a few months, he killed billions of demon mosquitoes, which was ten thousand times the number of demons killed by the coalition forces. However, he still failed to stop the demon army's attack. The iron-cast city finally burst like a bubble."

"With the strength of one person, he fought against the demon army for more than three months. This boy is really a great threat to our sect. If there were no demon calamity, he would be the biggest calamity of our sect in this era!"

The ancient Buddha Ran Deng shook his head and said, "The arrival of the demonic calamity has caused tigers and wolves to fight each other. It is really hard to predict whether the future of our sect will be a blessing or a curse."

"The ancient Buddha was careful with his words. If we judge by deeds rather than intentions, the merits of Jie Tian Emperor for killing demons and protecting life are immeasurable."

Tathagata said: "It's a pity that his mind is not right, he has not heard the true Dharma, and he doesn't understand fate, so it's hard for him to achieve perfection. We should respect him and keep our hearts, and not give rise to anger and ignorance. We are here to stop the demon army, do our best and leave it to fate. If things can't be done, it's all destiny, and we can't force it."

Dipankara, Maitreya, and all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas behind the three Buddhas put their palms together and prayed, saying in unison: "Amitabha, well done, well done!"

Translated, this actually means that if you can win, fight. If you can't, retreat. Don't fight to the death with the mosquito and make a meaningless sacrifice.

The three Buddhas once again opened their clairvoyance to peer into the underworld, only to see that the outcome of the battle was already decided. The Ultron robot defense line had finally reached its endurance limit, and the turrets were climbed, wrapped, and bitten by the swarming demon mosquitoes, and exploded into pieces one by one.

The melee mechas were also shattered into pieces, with parts scattered all over the ground.

The swarm of insects rushed up to the Ghost Gate Tower, which was deserted, and completely occupied the gateway between the mortal world and the underworld.

"Marshal Li, the King of Hell sent the Black and White Impermanence to report that the Gate of Hell was lost just now!"

A heavenly general hurried to the center of the army formation on the auspicious cloud where the gods were and reported the latest information to Li Jing, who had been reinstated.

The gods also possess the art of divination using yin and yang, which can predict good and bad fortune, and can even predict the battle situation at the gates of hell. However, no matter how accurate the divination technique is, it is not as intuitive as the clairvoyance, and there is a certain chance of misjudgment.

Military and national affairs must not be taken lightly. Although Li Jing was not a good general, he still understood the basic military knowledge. Therefore, he arranged for a group of ghost gods in the underworld to act as spies and deliver accurate battle reports from the battlefield of the underworld at all times.

The Yin God of the Underworld has the unique ability to travel between the two worlds, making him perfect for this task.

After gaining momentum, the Blood Sea Demons headed straight for the Ghost Gate, directing their troops towards the mortal world, but they did not send troops to attack the underworld. A very important reason for this is that the underworld is located in the lower realm of the earth, with heavy yin energy, and the River Styx passes around the city, making it very difficult to dig a blood canal supply line.

Once the water of the River Styx mixed with the water of the Sea of Blood, the water of the Sea of Blood lost the energy to nurture life.

In addition, even if they captured the underworld and captured a group of ghosts and gods without mortal bodies, the magic mosquitoes would not be able to suck a drop of blood, so the input-output ratio would not be proportional.

Therefore, Hades escaped disaster.

"Gods, listen up! The demon army from the Underworld has captured the Gate of Hell and is about to break through the seal between the two worlds and enter the mortal world to kill people."

Li Jing raised the flag high and shouted, "I ask all the immortals to show their magical powers, use their magic weapons, and fight with all their strength to give them a head-on blow and save all living beings from this disaster!"
