Chapter 360 The Bell of the Human Race: Jiang Ziya
It started when a strange phenomenon descended from the sky, and the sky suddenly turned into stars in broad daylight.
The celestial phenomena in the three realms have never been normal.
First, a big star suddenly exploded in the sky, turning into countless fragments and falling towards the three realms.
That night, the entire Three Realms and Four Continents, both mortals and immortals, could see it clearly. Countless fire rains poured down from the sky, crashing into the East China Sea, setting off huge waves.
Then a chain reaction was formed, and natural disasters caused by the Earth Dragon's overturn occurred simultaneously across the four major continents, causing countless creatures to wither and die.
In the face of such a natural disaster, let alone a cultivator of immortality, even a true immortal is powerless.
Although he can guarantee his own immortality, it is impossible to save hundreds of millions of living beings on the earth.
Even if it is as powerful as the Dao Sect, it cannot save the hundreds of millions of mortals on Dongsheng Shenzhou.
Of course, those high-level immortals never thought of saving mortals.
In their eyes, mortals are nothing more than a group of ants. At best, they are just materials that can provide them with the power of faith.
What's more, now the great melee in the Three Realms has completely begun. This war has already spread from the top of the Golden Immortal Power down to the four major continents.
Immortals are busy fighting for power and acquiring resources, so they naturally have no time to care about the safety and life and death of mortals.
Under such circumstances, the state battle battlefield in the Sky Canyon between Nanzhan Buzhou and Dongsheng Shenzhou suddenly seemed a little awkward.
Natural disasters continued to break out in both the Tang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty, which made everyone on the front line very anxious and had no desire to continue fighting.
However, Dazhou, as a vassal of the Dao Sect, did not dare to retreat rashly at this time. After all, they had not received an order. If they retreated like this, they would most likely be punished by the immortals in Kunlun Mountain.
If they don't retreat, Datang naturally can't retreat either.
The two sides continue to be in a stalemate here.
Just when they were in a dilemma, a man came from Nanzhan Buzhou alone.
"Let Jiang Ziya come out and see you!" the visitor said in a deep voice.
General Jin Yue, the leader of the Dongsheng Shenzhou camp, frowned upon hearing this: "Who are you?"
"Tell him that the former Emperor wants to see him!" The person came with his hands behind his back. Although his aura was declining, there seemed to be a fierceness coming out of him at this moment.
When Jin Yue saw this scene, he couldn't help but frown.
He didn't know what the Human Emperor was, let alone heard the name Emperor, but subconsciously he felt that the person in front of him should not be underestimated.
"We don't have Jiang Ziya here!" he said.
"Ah……!"
The person who came was none other than the Human Emperor who had just returned from the Ming Dynasty. He couldn't help but sneered when he heard this, raised his head and said loudly: "Jiang Ziya, if you still think that you are a human race, just come out and hide your head and tail for a hundred thousand years. What do you think?"
If you hide yourself, no one will remember you?"
He knew Jiang Ziya would definitely hear it.
This former prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who once succeeded the emperor and was the most promising candidate for the Human Emperor, must be on the battlefield.
"well……!"
"I've seen the emperor!" A white light quietly appeared in front of the emperor, and the next moment an old man with white hair and beard, holding a cane, quietly appeared in front of the formation.
No one could see how he appeared.
Even Guan Yu and Yang Chan, who have been paying attention to this scene on the opposite side.
Even Zhu Biao, who was in mid-air, also frowned slightly. This man's state was very strange. He was no longer flesh and blood. He looked like a ghost cultivator and seemed to be made up of countless stars and lights.
"What's going on with you?" the emperor asked with a slight frown.
"Just living an ignoble existence!"
Jiang Ziya had a faint smile on his face: "The Human Emperors are not willing to ask for the immortality gifted by Heaven, and I am not willing to ask for it either, but I still want to live and see how the human race is doing in my world.
Whether I am going to get better or worse, I can only make myself what I am now."
When the emperor heard this, he stared at Jiang Ziya with piercing eyes, and suddenly said: "The body of obsession!"
"The Human Emperor is indeed well-informed. Yes, I am the incarnation of obsession, but now I am obsession, obsession is me!" Jiang Ziya said calmly.
Hearing this, Zhu Biao in the sky immediately understood that obsession is actually very mysterious. In a big world with abundant spiritual power like the Three Realms, everything can become a spirit, let alone an obsession.
But when the obsession becomes a spirit, in fact, in a certain sense, it can no longer be regarded as the body. It is a brand new creature, but at the same time, this obsession will also involuntarily bear the mark of its predecessor.
The person in front of me now can no longer be considered Jiang Ziya, because the creature that truly belongs to Jiang Ziya is dead.
But he is Jiang Ziya because he thinks he is Jiang Ziya.
This sounds very complicated, but in fact it is very simple. This is a creature that has inherited Jiang Ziya's will.
"well……!"
The emperor couldn't help but sigh softly after hearing this.
"What's the matter with you?"
"You all say that I am wrong. I was used by the Taoist sect to provoke a war between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Shang Dynasty. But I think I am right. At that time, under the rule of Lord Shang, the people were in dire straits and monsters were rampant. I assisted Zuo Zhou
The king overthrew the Shang Dynasty in one fell swoop and established the huge Zhou Dynasty on this basis, which spanned four major continents and led the entire human race to greater glory. I thought I was right from beginning to end."
"Yeah?"
"Since you have such great achievements, why didn't human destiny favor you and make you the fifth Human Emperor?" the emperor said coldly.
They and Jiang Ziya have been arguing about this issue for countless years, but to no avail.
Both sides are very stubborn and no one can convince the other.
Sure enough, Jiang Ziya remained silent this time.
He was unwilling to accept the invitation from Heaven and accepted the position of the immortal Golden Immortal just to show the world that he had no intention of living forever. All he did was just for the people of the world and the entire human race, but the reality was that time and time again
It slapped him in the face. He had worked hard to establish a huge human dynasty, but in the end, human destiny did not favor him as it favored the emperor, the Suiren clan, the Shennong clan, and the Fuxi clan.
Even the fate of the human race has abandoned him, which indeed explains a lot of problems.
Seeing Jiang Ziya's silence, the emperor's voice couldn't help but become louder.
"Back then, the Shang Dynasty had internal and external troubles, and the people in the country were in dire straits. But at that time, any of the four demon clans dared to kill, eat, and even keep human beings in captivity. Even in Hezhou, Xiniu, the human clan was a top-notch clan and would conquer the demon clan at will. But now,
Well, what is the situation of the human race within the four major continents? I’m afraid everyone can understand this!”
The emperor became more and more angry as he talked. Even though he had discussed it with the guy in front of him countless times, he still couldn't help but get angry every time.
Because back then, the human race had the opportunity to control their own destiny, to grasp the pulse of the times, and to make the human race truly the masters of the world. But that group of people, those people who thought they were for the human race and the world, let
The human race has completely fallen into a place of no return.
And the leader of that group of people is the guy in front of them.
Jiang Ziya was the most qualified person to compete for the throne of the Human Emperor.
This sounds ridiculous to say, but it actually happened one hundred thousand years ago.
"indeed so!"
Jiang Ziya still had an upbeat face, and finally only uttered these four words.
Although he looks like Jiang Ziya, he is actually just Jiang Ziya's obsession realized. He insists on living for a hundred thousand years just to see whether he is wrong or not.
Now, at this moment, standing in the Sky Canyon where he led the army to break through the Shang Dynasty's defense line, he was completely speechless.
His belief was finally shaken.
"I was wrong!" Jiang Ziya said in a low voice.
In fact, he had already realized that he might have done something wrong a long time ago, even before his body was dead.
But at that time, when the human race was still at its peak, although he was aware of it, he did not dare to believe it, nor did he believe it, because if he believed it, then what he had struggled for his whole life would immediately become meaningless, and even his next steps would be meaningless.
Life has to be lived in regret.
So he never admitted that he was wrong from beginning to end.
But he also kept this obsession. He wanted to see if he was really wrong.
Now even his obsession knows that he is wrong.
If Jiang Ziya really has a soul in heaven, I'm afraid he will burst into tears at this moment!
"Very good, you still have a chance to make up for your mistakes!" The emperor's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw this stubborn guy finally admitting his mistake in front of him.
Although this guy is just Jiang Ziya's obsession, the reason why the obsession is called obsession is because he is stubborn and insists on his own opinion. Even this obsession thinks that he is wrong. If Jiang Ziya's true spirit is still alive,
I'm afraid I've already admitted my mistake.
"For the human race?" Jiang Ziya asked.
"certainly!"
"Now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it is also the last opportunity before mankind. If we miss this opportunity, mankind will completely become the slaves of the immortals." The emperor said solemnly.
He had talked with Emperor Hongwu many times before in the Ming Dynasty. In the current situation of the Three Realms, no matter who is the winner in this war, they will inevitably inherit the foundation of Taoism's previous rule. In other words, no matter who wins, they will continue to rule.
Suppressing the human race, after all, the strong luck of the human race means that there will be more rising stars in the human race. All the current high-level powerful people are afraid of being photographed on the beach by these rising stars.
After all, that's how they got up back then.
They have a deep understanding of how powerful the human race will become with the bonus of human luck.
There is an even more important point, which is the power of faith discovered by Buddhism.
This thing is the most lethal to the human race. For the human race who are naturally intelligent creatures, it is very suitable to become the nourishment of the power of faith.
And the power of faith is currently the most convenient way for these immortals and Buddhas to enhance their magical powers, and they will never turn a blind eye.
If the melee in the Three Realms continues this time, the result is very likely that the powerful powers in the sky will come down to rob mortals, plunder them into small worlds, and turn them into nourishment for the power of faith.
At that time, the immortal cities in this world will turn into gods sitting high in the sky, and the human race will only become more miserable.
After all, the more suffering a person is, the more pious the power of faith will be.
This is the rule discovered by Ming Dynasty after research.
If that time really comes, the human race in this world will really have no hope.
"What do you need me to do?" Jiang Ziya asked.
"Actually, I can't do anything now. I am just an obsession. Dongsheng Shenzhou has not allowed the name of the Human Emperor to be mentioned a hundred thousand years ago, let alone my name. Now I am just an obsession."
It’s just a rootless tree!" Jiang Ziya said with a bitter smile.
"Haha, wasn't Taigong Jiang a hundred thousand years ago equally powerless?"
"What we need is Jiang Taigong's wisdom, not his cultivation!"
The emperor smiled, raised his head and looked at the Zhou army waiting behind Jiang Ziya: "I have a place I recommend you to go to!"
"Where?" Jiang Ziya was stunned and asked.
"Huaguoshan!"
The emperor spoke in a deep voice: "The Great Sage Qitian has returned to Huaguo Mountain, and before leaving, he swept away a large number of treasures from the Heavenly Court. Erlang Shen and Nezha were also persuaded by him, and led the entire Ministry of Justice to return to the Heavenly Court.
went."
"At this moment, he has already erected the title of Monkey King, and set up a demon flag in Huaguo Mountain to claim the title of king. However, if the monkey can fight, it will be fine, but it is very difficult for him to command the army. If you are willing to go over and help him,
It will definitely make the demon army of Huaguoshan one step further."
"this……!"
"He's a monster!"
"I'm a human, how can I help him!" Jiang Ziya looked at the emperor in disbelief.
You must know that the person in front of you is the Human Emperor, and now this Human Emperor actually asked him to help a demon clan. This is incredible.
"No matter human race or monster race, our biggest enemy is heaven, those immortals and Buddhas who fill the sky!"
"Don't you understand now?" the emperor shouted in a deep voice.
"Okay, I'll go!" Jiang Ziya gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.
To be honest, he is good at preparing the army for war and training the immortal army, but he cannot clearly see the overall trend of the Three Realms. After all, he does not stand high enough. This was the case a hundred thousand years ago, and it is still the case now.
He could only see a small part of the world, so naturally he could not clearly see the general trend of the entire Three Realms.
One hundred thousand years ago, he chose what he saw in his eyes and what he wanted to do, but now he felt that he had to trust the Human Emperor once. After all, the last time his own choice turned out to be a huge mistake, he no longer dared to
Trust your own judgment.
"Very good!" A big stone finally fell to the emperor's heart.
He looked at Jiang Ziya, who was surrounded by the power of human destiny, and a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes.
Sometimes fate is something that cannot be said. The Jiang Taigong from 100,000 years ago was once enveloped by the power of human destiny, but in the end he led the human race into the abyss. Now he has once again
Being enveloped by the power of human race's fate, even though the emperor is a human emperor, he still can't understand it.
"I don't know what the result will be?"
"I hope it won't be like a hundred thousand years ago." The emperor sighed and said solemnly.
