Volume 8: Future · Gap 4 · Competitive Games Chapter 144: Supporting Tianshan Mountain (XVI)
Time is running out, and both sides can only try to reveal their own cards, and then work out a rough plan amidst the intrigue.
"If you ask me, we should sacrifice a group of people first to delay time." Someone from a noble family complained.
There is only one hour to resolve a world-destroying disaster, which is almost a life-threatening situation.
They all saw the state of the lights at this time.
Not everything in this illusion is fake. If you risk your life, someone might actually die.
Once there is something wrong with your mind, that would be a big problem.
"Impossible!" Tian Jiliao rejected the proposal outright, and then carefully calculated the power in his hands.
Facing that kind of world-destroying source of annihilation, all other powers are just scraps.
Some ordinary people have arranged to take the hundred or so children to the mountainside, where there are supplies for the temple priests, which can at least to a certain extent help them cope with the harsh environment of Mount Chengtian.
If time was not urgent, he would even want to arrange for these people to go down the mountain, as far away from Chengtian Mountain as possible.
After staff reduction, there are currently only a few people regarded as main attackers.
They have already calculated that if they only use local forces, no matter how advanced the knowledge they bring is, they will not be able to solve the source of annihilation.
The power of the divine soldiers and temple priests is totally insufficient.
If we want to save the world and solve the source of extinction, we can only introduce external forces.
Currently, there are only three or four people who can introduce external forces.
The first is Luo Pingchuan.
Her ability is the most important.
Under the erosion of dreams, this illusion is modified as if cheating.
Unfortunately, the intensity was not enough, and Luo Pingchuan was unwilling to waste his own energy.
The second is that he is lonely.
After he obtained Wan Tongyu's special magic weapon, he no longer had to fight against the world brutally.
Although Tian Jiliao is not as capable as Luo Pingchuan at this moment, he can still burst out his own mental power when necessary, and save the world at the cost of damaging his mind.
After all, he was transformed into his original body. The soul of his original body was relatively "free" and did not need to be exploited by many parties. Even if his mind was damaged, he could slowly recover. It would just waste some more time.
And the original body has infinite lifespan.
Then there is the light which also has an original body.
Denghuo has now attained enlightenment in the illusion, and is able to reconstruct the earth, wind, water and fire of the illusion, and is also an expert at targeting the source of annihilation.
That is, he had already experienced an outburst of his mind before, and his mind is currently in a damaged state. If it continues to outburst, big problems may really arise.
The final uncertain person was Lu Ran, who was chosen by the Mountain God.
Lu Ran said frankly that she had received some kind of blessing from the mountain god, and her power in the mythological path had loosened.
But she herself couldn't say what effect it would have.
After all, they knew too little about mythology.
The rest of the people each have some pretty powerful trump cards that can unleash considerable power.
But this kind of power is difficult to touch the source of world-destroying annihilation.
Time passed by little by little, and there was no time to make more plans.
They can only take one step at a time now.
At this time, Luo Pingchuan had already begun to accumulate her own strength. She held the black skull in her arms and used the ability of dream invasion without stopping.
The surrounding area was quickly eroded to the same extent as the previous fight against the Gourd Taoist, but this was not enough.
She continued to increase the intensity of the erosion, and the one who supported her in doing so was the Taoist priest Hulu who was also standing beside her.
At this moment, all of Yu Ruyi's power as given by Taoist Hulu has fallen on her, blessing her and helping her to fight against the reaction force caused by the illusion being covered.
"I really didn't expect that after working so hard together before, we are now cooperating sincerely in a blink of an eye." Luo Pingchuan glanced at the Taoist priest Hulu, his eyes full of hesitation.
She always felt that the Gourd Taoist was not that simple.
After all, this is a monster that has the ability to control everything around it and change the overall situation of the dimension.
As a result, he is now just playing the role of a support without showing any special abilities.
Although this is a normal situation, she always felt that it was a little abnormal when it happened to Gourd Taoist.
"Things in this world are unpredictable." Taoist Gourd simply replied to Luo Pingchuan with this sentence.
Then he sped up the analysis of some physical data he had obtained from Lu Ran before.
These data were combined with the spiritual data obtained by Lu Bai through desire to explore the changes in Lu Ran after he accepted the blessing of the Mountain God.
The Eye of Darkness was also operating at full capacity during this process, using this information as a basis to search the huge database.
"Myth, myth!"
"This is a real dimension on the timeline."
"Some kind of story from the past, after being nurtured by time, has acquired special power?"
Taoist Gourd was thinking about the special changes of the magic weapons. The essence of these things were relics. What made these relics into magic weapons were precisely the myths and legends about the magic weapons.
The mountain god spread the relevant myths, allowing these magical weapons to have the ability to suppress the source of annihilation.
"And when using a magic weapon, the corresponding 'yang energy' will be drawn away."
“There must be some kind of intrinsic connection here.”
"Yang Qi is involved in the operation of the divine weapon, and it must be related to the power of mythology."
The most crucial power of mythology is naturally divinity. Only by possessing divinity can one have the possibility of becoming a god by relying on the mythological worldview.
Although there are not many people who have possessed divinity in recent years, there are still quite a few.
For example, Hu Niu now possesses divinity.
But their divinity is basically from various dimensions, tracing traces of past myths, just like inheriting the power of the mountain gods now, from other places.
If they were really asked to explain clearly what divinity symbolizes, what its relationship is to yang energy, and why it can rely on the mythological worldview to demonstrate the power to explain everything, they would not be able to do so.
Just like those in the Jinglin Tribe before, they are pursuing real life, and they themselves have real life, but they don’t understand what this thing is, where it is, and how it is produced.
If Gourd Taoist did not have the support of Lu Bai's Dark Eye, he would not have thought about such profound questions.
Others are not fools. They naturally understand the fundamental theory of power before they can truly embark on this path.
But the fact that we have not been able to truly gain has already proved this point.
"Most people who follow the mythology route can only say that divinity is a kind of spiritual power that has been sublimated to the extreme and is related to faith."
"If you want to explore the essence of divinity, you have to return to the relationship between humans and myths and legends."
“Why do people sing praises to those myths and legends, and why do these myths gain power in the process of singing?”
"Because of expectations!" This is the answer that Gourd Taoist can give.
Human power is limited, and when faced with various things, there are always times when they are unable to do anything.
So they can only hope that there is a special power that can help them face various difficulties.
The embodiment of this special power is the mythical characters in various myths and legends.
The same is true for the divine weapons. It is difficult for the mountain god to suppress the source of annihilation, so he connected the divine weapons and the source of annihilation through mythology.
"Because of expectation, the spirit changes and forms the power of faith."
"This power of faith is an important raw material for the emergence of divinity."
“But it’s not absolute.”
"Yang Qi, something rooted in the body, is definitely related."
Taoist Gourd had some vague ideas, and he seemed to be only considering the real dimension of humans and myths.
There is another important thing that needs to be considered together.
"If that's the case, then Yang Qi might be much more noble than I thought!"
The thoughts continued, but it was too late.
The entire Mount Chengtian began to shake at this moment.
A force that seemed to want to destroy everything began to wantonly exude its presence.
At this moment, a large amount of golden particles gushed out from the cave at the top of the mountain that led to the bottom of the mountain.
The remaining magical weapons that were left behind by Gourd Taoist and others were also brought out with the gushing of golden particles.
Along with them came out the one hundred blood cocoons, which were now full of cracks.
On the blood cocoon, the wriggling blood vessels have grown larger and larger, and some black substance emitting an ominous aura has flowed out of it.
There was clearly no smell at all, and at the top of the mountain, most people were so cold that they had lost their sense of smell.
But everyone felt a foul stench the moment they saw the black substance.
It's like the smell formed by the pus flowing out of a person's wound, which is then mixed with dead chickens, rotten eggs and other things and fermented together.
This thing is somewhat similar to the world's death element, but there are still some differences. Therefore, the form it manifests is also different from the world's death element. This is the difference in different dimensions.
After everyone smelled the stench, they felt that their bodies were rapidly decaying.
"I leave this place to you!" Following the words of the Mountain God, the golden particles shot up into the sky and pierced the higher sky. He needed to completely resolve the broken and sinking sky.
After losing the best suppression from the Mountain God, those blood cocoons quickly shattered, and a large amount of black liquid splashed out .
In an instant, a liquid that seemed to destroy and rot everything occupied the entire top of the mountain, and black became the only main color here.
"Air wall..." Luo Pingchuan was the first to take action. An invisible air wall was modified in the illusion to restrict the spread of these sources of annihilation.
Then, the flame of the lamp that reconstructed the earth's wind, water and fire began to bloom from within the lamp.
Tian Jiliao also waved Wan Tongyu in his hand.
A hint of silver is slowly moving in the dark.
