Out of the thunderstorm, without the boundless power of thunder, the sky is still hazy.
It's as if someone spilled ink on the rice paper, and the ink soaked into the sky and blurred out the clouds.
The Dark Crow crosses the void and is inconspicuous in this world of creatures. From time to time, huge birds of prey can be seen passing through the clouds, striking up streaks of crimson lightning.
Looking at the vast land below with golden eyes, traces of cities and villages can often be found among the green fields and lush mountains.
Different from the burial area, even the borders in the minefield are full of life.
Gu Chen felt the abundant aura of life and made an unexpected discovery.
In this world, although the vitality is abundant, it is not as primitive, pure and broad as the Hongmeng vitality. Instead, it has a single essence.
It may be called thunder energy. With the thunder element being extremely abundant, other elements here seem to be suppressed.
Even with the thunder element, it seems not easy to sense and mobilize it.
Gu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, he did not feel this way when he was in the burial area.
The vitality of heaven and earth here seems to be like a resource, being controlled by an invisible hand.
But now, this kind of control is somewhat out of order.
Only people who have reached the spiritual realm of Gu Chen can be keenly aware of this disorder.
It was getting dark, and the crows melted into the night, moving forward aimlessly.
Gu Chen didn't look for the destination specifically and relied entirely on intuition.
After a few days, the crow gradually crossed the wilderness and entered an increasingly dense habitat.
Gu Chen saw many alien races. Most of these alien races were powerful individuals, entrenched on a mountain top. It was not common for creatures to live in groups.
Occasionally seen, like cattle and horses, they are food for superior predators and may capsize at any time.
And if they break away from the level of cattle and horses, the creatures that are one in a thousand and live in groups are often particularly powerful. They have built towering city walls and have a place in the civilization of this thunder field.
Gu Chen watched casually. A small crow was just an inconspicuous creature on this land. Its passing did not arouse the alert of any powerful being.
Hiss~~~
The war horses with thunderous feet stirred up billowing dust on the ground, and a group of soldiers and horses marching in a hurry caught Gu Chen's attention.
The army headed straight east, with well-trained foreign warriors riding lightning war horses, murderous and arrogant!
At the end of the east, under the dim dusk, there was a huge purple city, which was more majestic than any gathering place of living beings that Gu Chen had seen before.
The army galloped away, Gu Chen became interested, and the golden-eyed crow flew close to the giant purple city.
As I got closer, I realized that the reason why the giant city was purple was because the city walls were made of purple bricks and stones.
This city is unique in its craftsmanship, with its continuous walls specially built to look like giant pythons.
The purple bricks and stones are like the scales of a python that exudes a dangerous sheen, while the city gate not far away is shaped into the python's bloody mouth.
Entering this city, it is as if you have entered the mouth of a giant python that reaches the sky, and its majesty flows everywhere.
However, the soldiers and horses from before were unscrupulous and marched straight in, crushing the majesty of the giant city with their iron hoofs!
"Inform all tribes in Mandala City that Master Black Flag Kutu of the Longshan Army will arrive in Mandala City in three days to recruit troops in person!"
"Every tribe is prepared. Children of the tribe are not allowed to leave this city without permission. If there are any outsiders, they will be recalled immediately!"
Soldiers and horses ran through the streets of the city, and the loud sound spread throughout the city, leaving no room for doubt.
There was an explosion all over the city, and the soldiers guarding the city gate also changed their expressions suddenly and whispered.
A dark crow took advantage of the guards not paying attention, flew over the high wall, and flew into Mandala City.
Mandala City is bustling and lively, with hundreds of ethnic groups living together. Dark crows are gliding freely in the city, passing over the eaves of every house.
The night is getting darker and the lanterns are starting to turn on.
The crow melting into the night suddenly stopped on the door wall of a house in the city.
There were people coming and going in the courtyard, and like other ethnic groups in the city, it was particularly lively tonight.
"I didn't expect there are humans here."
Gu Chen murmured, this was the first time he met his compatriots since he went deep into the thunder field.
Originally, he thought that he could only find his tribe in that place called the human world.
This human race's house is not small, and there are thousands of people in it. Judging from its architectural layout, life in this Mandala City should be good.
The dark crow glanced at it, raised its wings, and flew to the depths of the house, to a simple but elegant attic.
The window on the second floor of the attic was open, and a crow sat on the window sill.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, after tomorrow, the little girl will set off for Nihuang Academy. I beg Your Majesty to accompany me."
A crisp and sweet sound came, accompanied by the throwing chopper falling to the ground.
Gu Chen followed the sound and looked over, only to see a fresh and refined figure kneeling devoutly in front of the shrine. All the rays on the ground had yang sides, which happened to be the smiling rays.
"The emperor doesn't want to go with a little girl?"
The woman asked cautiously, and then repeated her prayer.
Gu Chen glanced at the shrine. There was a golden-armored war god enshrined on the shrine. It looked like a human race, but its facial features were blurred, which showed that the carpenter's workmanship was somewhat inferior.
Is such a wooden statue worthy of being called the Great Emperor?
Gu Chen felt that this woman was a bit funny. She sounded like she was sixteen or seventy-eight years old.
"In the battle at the Fierce Palace in the White Night, the mysterious human emperor shocked the world and inspired all human beings."
"Although I have no chance to know your name, the great emperor, from that day on, this little girl worships you devoutly every day, and regards you as the sun and moon that I pursue in this life. I only hope that in this life, I can have one or two of the ten great emperors to strengthen our human race.
Live vigorously.”
"I know that the path of spiritual practice depends on oneself, but the emperor has already become the spiritual sustenance of the little girl. After I leave, there will be no one to worship the statue, so I sincerely ask the emperor to go with the little girl."
After the girl finished thinking, she threw the 筊 again, this time it was the Holy 筊.
The girl's delicate profile face clearly showed that she couldn't help but be happy.
As Gu Chen listened to the girl's prayer, something strange gradually appeared in his golden eyes.
"No wonder I'm here."
Gu Chen murmured that he followed his intuition, but at his level of cultivation, how could even his intuition be meaningless?
He wanted to compete with Nuo Tian for incense, and the destiny in the dark world guided him to where his followers were.
In this ancient world of Panyan, Gu Chen never thought that someone would already be offering incense to him. It seemed that it had been a while.
The simple golden-armored God of War had no resemblance to himself. Gu Chen looked amused, but there was nothing false about the girl's piety.
The girl then threw the sacred sword, and after throwing the sacred sword twice more, she breathed a sigh of relief.
The emperor is finally willing to go with her!
With the statue of the Great Emperor around, the future is reassuring.
After getting permission from the statue, the girl went on to talk about many things, most of which were about cultivation issues.
Of course, her prayers to herself were not answered by the gods, but she seemed to be accustomed to this state, and regarded it as a kind of review and enlightenment of spiritual practice.
