Ashes to Ashes (First Update!)

Chapter 544: Reduced to Ashes (First Update!)

Qin Mu was still a little worried and planned to recalculate to see if there was anything wrong. It was not that he did not trust the Black Tiger God, but there was no precedent for connecting the two worlds and building a world bridge for the transfer of spiritual energy. If something went wrong, he did not know what would happen.

For example, when Qin Mu was refining elixirs to treat injuries, every time he refined a new elixir, there might be strange side effects. If there was a problem with the efficacy of the elixir, it could be remedied, but how could the problem of the spiritual energy bridge connecting the two worlds be remedied?

The Black Tiger God quickly rolled up the blueprint, walked out excitedly, and said with a smile: "Hurry up, hurry up! I can't wait to verify it!"

Qin Mu had no choice but to follow him out of the tower and said to Sang Huan, "Sister Huan, what do you want to see me about?"

"The city has been rebuilt, but there are still many demons active in the surrounding area of ​​a thousand miles, scattered widely. These demons use the flesh and blood and souls of the people of our Taihuangtian to practice martial arts, which is very harmful."

Sang Hua said, "We have been looking for you for a long time, and we plan to go through training with you and eliminate those wandering demons and magical powers."

Yu He said, "Before Fu Ri Luo left the city, he restrained the demons from harming the people. But once Fu Ri Luo left, the remaining demons could no longer sit still. For the demons, we humans are not only food but also materials for refining treasures and practicing martial arts. Therefore, a lot of people in the surrounding villages have been abused these days. Junior Sister Sang Hua originally planned to go to the God-Suppressing Tower first, but she had to postpone it."

Qin Mu frowned and said, "Fu Ri Luo restrained the demons from harming the people? Why did he give this order?"

"Win people's hearts."

Shu Yao's face was solemn, and he said, "A city can be destroyed, a country can be destroyed, and gods can die in battle, but people's hearts are the hardest to conquer. Fu Ri Luo is a demon god with great ambitions, and his methods are also very clever. If he does not hurt the people, then the people will not resist. Even if he squeezes them more and makes them slaves of the demon clan, digging mineral veins, planting and collecting medicinal herbs, then those low-level demon clans can also devote themselves to the battle wholeheartedly. An enemy that can conquer the heart is the most powerful enemy."

Qin Mu nodded, and his impression of Fu Riluo changed greatly.

Fu Riluo is not a reckless man who only knows how to capture cities and seize territories, but he is well versed in the art of ruling and knows how to allow the demons to gain greater benefits.

The status of low-level demons was low. Qin Mu had seen the fate of low-level demons on the battlefield, which was to be consumables in battle. If the low-level demons were enslaved and made to do the work of slaves, and then turned into consumables, it would be difficult to rule them.

Fu Ri Luo enslaved the human race and served these low-level demons comfortably, and then let the low-level demons fight to the death, so that he could maintain his rule.

As for the human race, although they were enslaved, they did not know how to resist and would not resist, so the rear of Fu Ri Luo was stable, and with the endless resources provided by these human beings, they could devote all their energy to the conquest on the front line.

"Fu Ri Luo is a great talent. No wonder the Saint Master is so wary of him."

Qin Mu thought for a moment and said, "There should be a lot of demon spirit soldiers collected on the battlefield, right? What do you do with them?"

Yu He said: "Because the demon clan's spiritual weapons contain demonic and demonic energy, they are often destroyed, leaving no chance for the demon clan to take back their spiritual weapons."

Qin Mu smiled and said, "Brother Hu and I are going to build the spiritual energy bridge, and we need a lot of black gold and black iron. Since the demon clan spiritual weapons are useless, can you lend them to us? The demonic energy in the spiritual weapons is just right for us!"

Yu He smiled and said, "My master can get a lot of demon spirit soldiers. I wonder how many the leader needs?"

“The more the merrier!”

Qin Mu said solemnly: "Thank you, Master Yu!"

Yu He turned and left, saying, "Master, you are too polite. Those things of the demons are useless. You go ahead, and Master and I will bring the spiritual weapons over later."

Qin Mu looked at Sang Huan and the others, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Sister Huan, it will take some time for Brother Hu and I to build the bridge. You should go and train, and come back in ten days. In ten days, we should have arranged the rune imprints. By then, we can go and train again, and maybe I can introduce many new friends to you."

Sang Hua whispered, "This time we came here, in addition to looking for you to go out and train, there is another thing. Several of us are planning to join the sect."

Several other Taihuangtian supernatural powers nodded quickly.

Qin Mu was dumbfounded and looked at Shu Yao. Shu Yao said helplessly: "That day, the leader told us about the philosophy of Tiansheng Sect. Senior Sister Yuhe and I deeply agreed with it, so we joined the sect and became hall masters. Later, I was also too talkative and told them about the purpose of Tiansheng Sect. They also thought it was good, so they came together."

Sang Hua asked excitedly, "Then do we also have the position of hall master?"

Qin Mu was overjoyed but remained calm, smiling and saying, "The Tiansheng Sect is the leader of the righteous sect in Yankang, but not everyone can join. However, I am very moved by your heroic deeds of fighting against the devil regardless of life and death. I know that you are all upright gentlemen and share the same ideals as me, so it is not difficult for you to join the sect. But if you want to become a hall master, you must have a skill. There are 361 halls in my Holy Sect, representing 361 professions. Not everyone can become a hall master just because they are strong."

Sang Hua and the others were a little disappointed. Qin Mu smiled and said, "However, the Holy Church has just established a branch in Taihuangtian, and Taihuangtian is also in a state of disrepair. Urgent matters should be dealt with urgently, so there is no need to pursue too much. So you all can become the head of the Holy Church in Taihuangtian."

Sang Hua cheered: "Do we need to swear an oath in blood not to betray our religion?"

Qin Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and shook his head, saying, "Our Tiansheng Sect is not the notorious demon sect, and we don't practice blood oaths. Moreover, the followers don't worship the leader, they just need to greet him, and there is no kneeling ceremony. The leader is a saint teacher, not an emperor. I am in a hurry to build the spiritual energy transfer bridge, so I don't have time to explain in detail. You can come back in ten days. By then, the two worlds will be connected, and I will let the saint brothers in Yankang tell you in detail."

Sang Huan and the others were satisfied and left with Shu Yao.

"Establishing a religion in Taihuangtian is easier than I thought."

Qin Mu sighed in his heart, glanced at the Black Tiger God beside him, his eyes flashing: "Brother Tiger, do you want to join the sect?"

The Black Tiger God rolled his eyes at him and sneered, "My Lord has never recognized your Tiansheng Sect. Don't waste your time on it. Let's build the spiritual energy transfer bridge as soon as possible!"

They, one man and one tiger, soon arrived in front of a large pyramid-shaped altar. The altar was as tall as a mountain, with steps all around it paving the way up to the sky, and at the top was an extremely flat platform. The altar was branded with blood sacrifice runes all around it. The supernatural powers of Taihuangtian piled countless corpses here before summoning the stone statues and the gods' spirits from the ruins.

The runes of the psychic migration bridge designed by Qin Mu and the Black Tiger God were based on the sacrificial runes. Only a few of the runes on the altar needed to be changed. The man and the tiger immediately set to work to modify the rune imprints.

After a while, True God Pang Yu came with Yu He. He put down the pile of demon spirit soldiers and said with a smile: "My friend, are these demon spirit soldiers enough? If not, there are still some in Mingyi City, several times more than here."

Qin Mu was overjoyed and said with a smile: "It's enough. Thank you, God!"

The God Pang Yu smiled and said, "Is there anything we can help you with?" Yu He was also eager to try.

Just as the Black Tiger God was about to agree, Qin Mu hurriedly shook his head: "No need! The True Gods are busy with affairs, and Senior Sister Yu He also has to go for training. I dare not trouble you two!"

True God Pang Yu did have a lot of things to do, so he took Yu He and left. Black Tiger God complained, "There are too many parts to refine to build the Psychic Energy Transition Bridge. It will take us two a long time to refine them. Why don't you let him help?"

"Brother, look at the sun in the sky!"

The Black Tiger God looked up at the sky and suddenly realized, "We really can't ask the gods and demons of Taihuangtian for help, otherwise, I don't know what kind of trouble will be caused!"

The man and the tiger immediately set to work, smelting the magic soldiers and refining the parts needed for the psychic energy transfer bridge. There was no need to remove the magic nature, just melt it and refine it again.

They are all masters of forging and skilled in calculation. Each component is refined with incredible precision, and every rune mark on the component must be imprinted with exact accuracy, to the nearest digit, in order to achieve perfection.

The Sun-Creating God made the sun in the sky crooked because he did not require high precision for each component when designing the God-Creating Sun. According to Qin Mu's estimation, the Sun-Creating God only calculated the precision of the half-sun blueprint to a few micro-digits, so the sun was crooked and unbearable to look at.

If you want the sun to look round hanging in the sky, you have to calculate at least a moment or an instant.

A half sun in the sky is dozens of times larger than the large altar. Qin Mu has extremely high requirements for the precision of the components of the large altar. Each component must be accurate to the instantaneous digit. That is why he feels that the sun in the sky is eye-catching.

The Woodcutter Sage was also a master of arithmetic and forging, so he also could not tolerate the Sun in Taihuangtian.

Ten days later, Sang Huan, Shu Yao and others came, bringing hundreds of people with magical powers, waiting for Qin Mu and the Black Tiger God to activate the psychic migration bridge.

Qin Mu and the Black Tiger God were busy on the altar, adjusting and debugging, not daring to slack off. In the past ten days, they had only slept two or three times, and were really tired, but their spirits were very excited.

Not long after, gods such as Pang Yu Zhen Shen and Sang Ye Zun Shen brought thousands of people with magical powers to the scene. Everyone looked towards the altar and saw that at this moment, all kinds of huge ink-black components on the altar were integrated with the altar. The components of different lengths were like spears and swords, pointing straight to the sky.

Those components were covered with strange runes, which were profound and difficult to understand. More runes appeared under the altar. The entire bottom of the altar was almost hollowed out by Qin Mu and the Black Tiger God. The two also arranged many giant components underneath, which were extremely complicated.

The altar was also carved out with complex passages, and there were countless parts in the passages, and runes connected every component on the altar.

The entire altar is like a whole, with an extremely complex internal structure.

Thousands of magical beings and gods walked around the huge altar for several weeks, looking and admiring. Qin Mu and the Black Tiger God showed them a unique beauty of the heavy metal objects!

This kind of beauty is not regular. On the contrary, it is this irregularity, the scattered shadows, the texture of metal and runes that show a different kind of beauty.

Qin Mu and the Black Tiger God installed the last component and checked the location of the altar in another world. They looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes.

"Are you ready?"

The Black Tiger God was beaming with joy: "I am ready to activate the power of the rune!"

Qin Mu nodded heavily, and a stream of Black Tiger God's divine energy poured into the activation rune. Suddenly, the activation rune lit up, and the light flowed along the rune, lighting up other runes. Then the light split into two, lighting up more runes like running water!

There was a constant buzzing sound, and light flowed into the altar, seeped out from the inside of the altar, flowed over the steps, and lit up the rune marks on the altar.

Eventually, all the light flowed to the base of the altar, where it converged.

Buzz——

There was a violent shock, and suddenly, the entire altar floated in the air step by step. It was divided into more than 900 layers according to the stairs, and each layer rotated in different directions, a quarter of a turn each time. After each rotation, the runes between different layers could always fit together perfectly. It was extremely precise!

Qin Mu and the Black Tiger God stood on one of the steps, feeling inexplicably excited, while the Taihuangtian supernatural being below the altar and the gods standing in the air could not help but become excited as well.

The scene of the huge metal heavy equipment being launched is so magnificent!

The altar kept rotating, and every time it rotated a quarter of a turn, a stream of spiritual energy would flow out. These spiritual energies were the demonic energy and devilish nature of the demon clan's spiritual soldiers, which were stimulated!

Qin Mu and Hei Hu Shen made careful calculations. As long as they broke through the barrier between the two worlds and built a funnel-shaped psychic energy bridge, the energy of the two worlds would maintain the stability of the bridge. This channel would not collapse easily, and the demonic energy and demonic nature of the demon soldiers would be exhausted in this bombardment.

The altar rotated layer by layer countless times, and the energy accumulated to the extreme. Suddenly, a black light shot up into the sky, and the surging power roared excitedly!

Thousands of magical beings and gods, as well as Qin Mu and the Black Tiger God, all looked up into the sky with smiles on their faces, and then the smiles froze on their faces.

In the sky, the black light was extremely fierce. It hit the half sun. Half of the sun was instantly evaporated and turned into ashes in the black light!

The two raised ears of the Black Tiger God slammed against the back of his head, and he opened his mouth wide: "I'm going to die... Junior Brother, are you trying to cause trouble or cause trouble?"

Beads of sweat the size of beans dripped from Qin Mu's left eyelid and hit his left cheek. Then the sweat rolled down the boy's forehead like a waterfall, forming two curtains of water on his eyelids.

Qin Mu turned his neck with difficulty and looked at the Black Tiger God. The sweat rolling down the face of the young Black Tiger God was more than his, completely soaking his shirt.

"Brother, look at the expressions of the people below?" Qin Mu said in a hoarse, low voice.

"Look, I don't dare. I'm afraid they will beat us to death... Do you think they will beat us to death?"
