Chapter 164 The Tragedy of the Human Race
Five thousand years later.
Guixu, Yunyin Taoist Temple.
With the surge of Huang Long's magic power, the last innate spiritual object turned into a stream of light and merged into the black umbrella in front of him, completing this refining.
This black umbrella is the Jiuyou Soul-Calming Umbrella, which is originally a top-grade innate spiritual treasure of excellent quality.
However, in the ancient times, it was severely damaged in the battle with the Jiuyou Ghost Mother.
Since then, the Jiuyou Soul-Calming Umbrella has been difficult to exert 10% of its power, and even the true spirit and soul imprisoned in it by the Jiuyou Ghost Mother are difficult to summon out.
However, after Huang Long spent a lot of innate spiritual objects and countless evil ghosts and wronged souls, he not only repaired it intact, but also made the upper limit higher.
Today, the Jiuyou Soul-Calming Umbrella has 48 divine prohibitions, which is only a hair's breadth away from the innate treasure.
And on it, countless avenue runes are engraved, surrounded by the rich law of life and death, mysterious and profound.
Even a powerful Daluo Jinxian would be addicted to it as long as he took a look at it, his soul would be unstable, and even his soul would be put into the Jiuyou Soul-Suppressing Umbrella, and he would never be able to transcend it.
In addition, during this period, Huang Long also created two innate formations, called the Jiuyou Soul-Binding Formation and the Five-Directions Gathering Yin Formation.
Under Huang Long's instructions, the Jiuyou Soul-Binding Formation was arranged in the underworld.
The Five-Directions Gathering Yin Formation was arranged on the prehistoric land with Taozhi Mountain, Dangzhong Mountain, Luofu Mountain, Luofeng Mountain and Baodui Mountain as the formation base.
With these three arrangements, Huang Long was relieved,
…
At the same time, in the Heavenly Court.
Di Jun and other powerful monsters confirmed the wonders of the human race.
In order to gain more advantages in the battle with the witch clan, they made many attempts.
In the end, after thousands of monster experiments, the conclusion was drawn that the flesh and blood of the human race could enhance the cultivation of the monster clan, and the magic weapon refined by the soul had the effect of restraining the witch clan.
To be on the safe side, Emperor Jun ordered Guiche to personally go down to the mortal world, massacre a large human tribe, and refine a post-natal spiritual treasure with the souls of millions of humans.
After massacring a small witch tribe, the strong physique of the witch tribe became obviously more fragile in front of this weapon.
Emperor Jun was mixed with joy and sorrow after learning about this.
Joy, of course, because there is a way to restrain the true body of the ancestor witch.
If more human souls can be used as materials to refine a stronger spiritual treasure, perhaps the life of the ancestor witch can be ended, and the war that has lasted for tens of thousands of years can be completely resolved, and the throne of the orthodox heaven can be firmly established.
Worry, because there are two saints behind the human race.
If only tens of millions of people were killed, the saints might not take any action, but if it was a massacre, they would definitely not sit idly by.
"Your Majesty, do not hesitate any longer."
"If we can collect a large number of human souls, refine a witch-killing sword, destroy the witch clan, truly rule the world, and sit firmly on the throne of the prehistoric world, with the luck of the prehistoric world, why worry about not being able to achieve the great way?"
"At that time, even the saints will bow down to the heaven."
"What's more, we can discover the secrets of the human race so smoothly. This is already a sign of heaven. Even if the saints are aware of it, as long as we don't kill all the human race, they will not do it."
A cold light flashed in Kunpeng's eyes. After hearing what he said, most of the powerful monsters present were tempted.
If the witch clan, this obstacle, can be destroyed, the heaven will surely gain more luck, at least it can monopolize 70% of the prehistoric luck.
At that time, their cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds, and their Taoism will rise steadily.
Perhaps it won't be long before they can become quasi-saints, or even saints!
Emperor Jun was silent, thinking about the pros and cons.
If there is no intervention from the saints, then refining the Tuwu Sword will only benefit the Heavenly Court, not harm it.
But if the two saints stand on the side of the witch clan because of this matter and attack the Heavenly Court together, then the Heavenly Court will be in danger of destruction, and the demon clan will also be doomed.
If it succeeds, it will unify the prehistoric world and sit firmly on the throne of the common master of heaven and earth.
If it fails, there will be nothing to rely on, and everything will turn into smoke.
For a moment, Emperor Jun also found it difficult to make a choice.
Fuxi firmly opposed this matter, believing that this matter would hurt the harmony of heaven and consume a lot of luck and blessings of the demon clan. Once the saints take action, it would undoubtedly dig their own graves.
Unfortunately, because of his relationship with Nuwa, neither Emperor Jun nor other powerful people of the demon clan gave a very clear evaluation of what he said.
Finally, Emperor Jun's eyes fell on Bai Ze.
"Bai Ze, what do you think about this matter?"
If it comes to knowledge, the powerful people of the demon clan present dare not say that they are definitely higher than Bai Ze.
Although it was Bai Ze's advice that forced them to join the Heavenly Court, even to this day, they still dislike Bai Ze.
But it is undeniable that Bai Ze is superior to them in terms of strategy and insight.
Bai Ze still attended the meeting in his original form, and saw that Emperor Jun had already made a choice in his heart.
The reason why he asked this was just to convince himself.
Rather than seeking opinions and suggestions, it is better to say that he wants a step, a step that allows him to say his decision naturally.
Thinking of this, Bai Ze stretched out his hoof and touched his chin, and said meaningfully:
"Your Majesty, the key to this matter lies in whether the saints will take action. In this case, why not ask the two saints for their opinions."
Hearing this, all the monsters remained silent.
Whether they like it or not, they must admit that what Bai Ze said is true.
If they really decide to take action against the human race, they cannot avoid the two saints.
If they disagree, then the demon race will undoubtedly dig their own graves and end up in a tragic end.
A few days later, Bai Ze watched Di Jun leave and sighed in his heart.
He finally understood why joining the Heavenly Court would lead to a catastrophe with a narrow chance of survival.
Even if the demon race slaughtered the human race, refined the Tuwu Sword, and eliminated the witch race, which was a big worry in their hearts, they would not have a good ending in the end.
The human race seemed insignificant, but since the two saints had proved their way because of this race, it meant that the human race contained some secrets.
Unfortunately, Di Jun and many powerful people of the demon race were blinded by the dual hopes of destroying the witch race and gathering the luck of heaven and earth, and the calamity that came with the catastrophe blinded their spiritual platforms.
That's why they couldn't see this clearly and only wanted to destroy the witch race.
...
Di Jun turned into a rainbow light and went straight into the sky.
However, he stayed in front of Jinxiutian for more than two hundred years, and Nuwa still had no intention of showing up.
After thinking for a moment, he expressed his thoughts, and waited for another hundred years. Seeing that Nuwa had not shown up yet, he bowed to the Wahuang Palace.
"Thank you, Saint."
In the Wahuang Palace, Nuwa looked at the Heavenly Dao shackles beside her, her brows furrowed, her face gloomy.
As early as more than three hundred years ago, when Di Jun came to Jinxiutian, she felt something in her heart and knew the purpose of Di Jun's trip.
She naturally disagreed with the demons slaughtering the human race and refining the Tuwu Sword with the souls of the human race, so that billions of human beings could not even reincarnate.
Even though she knew that this was a catastrophe that the human race had to go through if they wanted to become the protagonist of heaven and earth, she still disagreed with it.
But just when she was about to oppose Di Jun's request, dozens of chains made of the Great Dao and the Heavenly Dao suddenly appeared beside her, forming a pair of shackles that trapped her in the Wahuang Palace.
At the same time, Hongjun's voice rang in her ears.
"Heaven's will cannot be violated. This is a disaster that the human race must go through!"
Although he knew that the human race would not perish because of this, such a result still made him feel dissatisfied, and for the first time, he began to waver in his position as the Heavenly Saint.
If he became a saint, but still could not do anything, and could not even protect the race he created, what was the point of being a saint?
...
Shouyang Mountain.
Without letting Di Jun wait too long, the Taiqing Saint ordered the boy to pass on the message.
"The human teaching tradition cannot be cut off, and the human race cannot be destroyed!"
"Thank you, Saint!"
Di Jun bowed and left with satisfaction.
The words of the Taiqing Saint tacitly approved what he would do next. As long as the human race still had a spark, the saint would not interfere in this matter.
In the Bajing Palace.
The Taiqing Saint looked indifferent, without any emotional fluctuations. .
"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight."
He knew that this was a disaster that the human race must go through.
The Saint Taiqing is different from Nuwa. He practices the way of inaction.
Just like he did not interfere with the human race leaving Shouyang Mountain, he will not interfere with the disasters that the human race will have to go through next.
It will be the same in the future. As long as the human race does not encounter the disaster of genocide, he will not intervene.
It's just that he has some feelings and regrets about Di Jun's choice.
Di Jun was originally the master of the heavenly court, and he was actually the orthodox of the prehistoric world. He was responsible for governing all things in the prehistoric world and maintaining the order of heaven and earth.
He also needs to follow the procedures and continue to be in charge of the nine heavens. The demon race can still sit firmly in the position of the protagonist of heaven and earth, and he is still the master of heaven and earth.
Whether it is this era or the next era, the demon race will prosper. Although they cannot prove the truth and become saints, at least the race Chang'an has supreme power.
But now he has chosen another path, a more dangerous path.
In the final analysis, he is not a qualified emperor. In essence, he is still a seeker of the truth and a cultivator of the truth.
As a cultivator, he naturally would not want his cultivation to stand still.
From the perspective of a seeker of the Tao, the Taiqing Saint fully agrees with Di Jun's approach. The Great Dao is difficult. If you can't seize the opportunity and face the difficulties, then there is no need to cultivate this Tao.
But from the perspective of the Lord of the Human Religion, looking at Di Jun from the perspective of the Lord of the Heavenly Court and the Demon Race, the Taiqing Saint thinks that he is too radical and is pushing the Demon Race to a dead end.
Perhaps it is precisely because Di Jun still has a strong desire to seek the Tao that the calamity energy takes advantage of the opportunity and finally makes this decision.
"The great calamity is coming..."
The Taiqing Saint sighed lightly. This great calamity is not only the calamity that the human race will face next, but also the calamity that will happen in the prehistoric world in the future.
Although he does not have the memory of a time traveler and cannot deduce what the specific calamity is, he can also feel that the great calamity is coming and the prehistoric world will usher in new changes.
...
After obtaining the tacit consent of the two saints, Di Jun immediately returned to the Heavenly Court, and a wisp of calamity energy gradually permeated between heaven and earth.
Many great powers in the prehistoric world all felt something was wrong, and they all activated the formation to restrain their tribesmen from going out easily.
In the Biyou Palace, Shangqing shook his head and sighed, "This world is not peaceful anymore."
In the Yuxu Palace, Yuqing sneered, "After all, you are a short-sighted beast. If you do something that hurts the harmony of heaven, do you still want to have a good end?"
On Mount Xumi, the two saints in the west looked sad and wanted to do something, but they were afraid when they looked down at the ground.
In the Netherworld, Hou Tu looked at Guixu, "I hope Huanglong's arrangement will work. Don't let these creatures not be able to reincarnate after death..."
Return to the ruins.
"The catastrophe is about to begin..."
It is also a catastrophe, but what Huang Long is talking about is not the catastrophe of the human race, but the two races of lich and witch, but the prehistoric world.
There will be no surprises in this calamity for the human race. The human race will definitely be able to survive it, and will become stronger in the setbacks, gradually establishing its position as the protagonist of the world.
In fact, the catastrophe of the human race is just a prelude to lead to the final battle between the lich!
For this disaster, Huang Long has made a lot of preparations.
His gaze looked down, penetrating the endless void, and landed in the Netherworld.
Whether it is Yin soldiers, ghosts, or underworld races such as Minglong, they are all making final preparations.
Huang Long didn't know exactly when Di Jun would start refining the Witch-Slaying Sword. Being blinded by the calamity, Huang Long could only make as many preparations as possible.
More than three thousand years later.
Huanglong looked at the sky, looked at the monster clan gathering in large numbers, and sighed softly.
"here we go……"
He did not help the human race. This was a test from heaven and earth to the human race. Neither the heavenly saint nor the earthly saint was suitable for direct intervention.
Moreover, Hongjun's eyes always fell near Guixu, which was a statement of attitude and a warning.
His meaning is very clear. If Huang Long dares to ruin his good deeds, then he will overturn the table. He has been planning for so many years and will never allow failure!
Huang Long didn't care about this. He had never interfered with the human race's catastrophe.
In this great catastrophe for the human race, all he has to do is maintain the authority of the earth.
…
Red Flame Tribe.
The gathering of tens of millions of people is one of the large human tribes in the northwest of the prehistoric times.
For thousands of years, people have hunted and gathered here, thrived, and collected energy for cultivation.
Although there were constant minor disasters during this period, there were no major disasters and life was relatively comfortable. This is why the population of tens of millions is now there.
But on this day, the Chiyan tribe suffered an unprecedented massacre.
Millions of monsters descended and started killing people here.
In just a moment, the Chiyan tribe was bleeding like a river, with countless casualties. Both the human race and other races living in it were massacred.
These monsters have advanced cultivation and are led by Daluo Jinxian. Even if the tribe leader has the early stage of Taiyi Jinxian's cultivation, he is not an enemy of the opponent and is killed by the monsters casually.
Scenes like this still happen in every corner of the ancient world.
No matter where it is, no matter what the scale, wherever humans exist, they are massacred by monsters.
By using the Wrong Soul, the power of the Witch-Slaying Sword can be increased to a higher level.
Therefore, all the demon clan obeyed the order and did not kill the human race with one blow.
Instead, they slowly pushed the human race into a desperate situation and used various cruel methods to make them die in pain and despair, making them die with resentment and turn into resentful souls.
For example, when they were in the Rock and Earth Tribe, the demon clan captured the young and strong, dismembered the old, weak, women and children in front of them, and ate the human flesh and blood alive, making them crazy in anger, desperate in madness, and finally in despair. Die.
Another example is that when attacking the Qingshui tribe, the demon tribe imprisoned all the tribesmen, cut off their food, and starved them for several months.
Then he would cast an illusion on half of the hungry human race and let them eat their own people. Finally, the illusion would be released and the scene would be played again...
In just ten years, the human race has suffered hundreds of millions of casualties, and the number is still soaring at a terrifying speed. The sky-high resentment has covered all the human tribes...
