Volume Fourteen, The Cult Against the Heavens, Chapter Sixteen, The Royal Family
There should be a second chapter today, maybe updated in the evening
Chun Yuxuan has been wondering in recent days why the mainland is still calm even after so long has passed in the Demon Temple. It stands to reason that the Demon God who has been sealed for a long time breaks out of the temple and reappears. The anger accumulated over the past ten thousand years should make him take action immediately.
That's right.
I didn't expect to meet this familiar face here. In front of the devil, even Chun Yuxuan would be shocked and a little bit afraid.
Naturally, the young man was Gu Yao. When he saw Chun Yuxuan's reaction, he also had strange advantages. When Chun Yuxuan saw him, he was definitely surprised, but he also showed fear.
It's impossible to scare the little witch based on her true identity. Could it be that she thinks she is the devil?
That's right, think about it, if you send a person to the God of Demons who created the Demon Race, and that person appears in front of you alive again, your first reaction will definitely be that this person has become the substitute of the Demon God.
If I were to stand in Chun Yuxuan's position, there would definitely be misunderstandings.
Who would have thought that he was so lucky to have the help of the spirit of the nine-tailed fox, an ancient magic beast, and that nine-tailed fox happened to steal and use the magic of the God of Light. These two conditions made Gu Yao what he is today.
The soul has not been devoured.
Thinking of this, Gu Yao's heart moved. Since the demon god has such a strong power to intimidate her, she must take advantage of this, so that the inside stories she can get out will be more real.
Just let it go. I was tricked twice by the little witch. Now I can at least make a fool of her to relieve my hatred.
After traveling all day and not eating anything yet, Gu Yao was not polite, picked up a piece of pastry, stuffed it into his mouth, and praised it profusely: "I have to admit, human food still has some flavor, but then again,
Needing food to survive is also a human tragedy, and this body is no exception, it is really troublesome!"
Chun Yuxuan's fear disappeared in a flash, and she quickly returned to normal. She waited quietly, because the other party must have something more to say.
Seeing that she didn't seem to doubt his identity, Gu Yao felt even more relieved and said in an old-fashioned way: "Hey, girl, you are very brave!"
Gu Yao communicated with the devil from time to time, and Gu Yao also learned 95% of his voice and tone. It sounded quite imposing. Of course, these words were spoken to Chun Yuxuan using sound transmission technology, and others could not hear it.
,
At this moment, there were at least dozens of pairs of eyes in Jiying Building looking at him openly or covertly. Of course, he needed to cover up.
Chun Yuxuan's smile reappeared on her pretty face: "Haha, is that so? Thank you for your compliment, your Majesty the Great Demon God."
Gu Yao also admired her determination. Even though he thought that the person sitting opposite was the incarnation of the devil, he could still be so calm. His tone suddenly turned serious: "But, girl, don't forget your identity. You are a human being."
Member. Do you know that doing this will bring disaster to your companions? "Companion?" Chun Yuxuan smiled: "I think you misunderstood. I never think that human beings are companions. In my world view, only the strong are
with the weak.”
"Interesting. You are such an interesting woman." Gu Yao laughed dumbly: "You actually released the enemy of the god you believe in!"
Chun Yuxuan smiled slightly again: "How is it? Under the Demon Temple, are you satisfied with this sacrifice?"
When the word "sacrifice" was mentioned, she couldn't express how happy she was. She thought that she was almost treated as a sacrifice. It was a huge shame that she had never experienced before. Now she has finally washed away the shame of retaliating with tooth for tooth.
Satisfied with your mother, Gu Yao cursed secretly in his heart. He was very unhappy when he thought of being tricked, but he didn't show it. On the contrary, he pretended to be happy and said: "Hey, it's really good. You found me a strong body.
In addition, I am very interested in, why do you want to help me unlock the seal? No one will do anything without profit. Don’t you humans believe in this principle? "
Chun Yuxuan picked up the teacup and took a sip: "It's very simple. My family and I all want the world to be a little more chaotic. The more chaotic the better!"
At the end of the sentence, Chun Yuxuan's eyes suddenly showed extreme fanaticism.
Gu Yao frowned, this little witch is really crazy, a complete lunatic, she actually takes pleasure in provoking a war. Listening to her meaning, it is not just her who wants to do this, but the plan of the entire Chunyu family, the ambition of the Chunyu family,
Very big!
After thinking about it for a while, Gu Yao said again: "Even if you don't release me, wouldn't it be possible for your family to expand on the mainland with the strength of your family?"
"No, due to the existence of the Temple, we cannot do this. On the surface, the Temple does not interfere in human politics, but what they do is the opposite."
Gu Yao asked curiously: "How do you see it?"
"Let me give you the most typical example," Chun Yuxuan said: "While you were sealed, about three thousand years ago, a very powerful empire appeared on the continent called the Luo Ao Empire. It unified the entire continent and commanded all heroes.
After establishing an empire, eliminate bandits as quickly as possible, stabilize politics, reorganize the economy, reduce taxes, and raise taxes.
It introduced many innovative policies that were followed by other forces thousands of years later. Various measures made it become the most powerful and prosperous country in the history of the mainland in just ten years. During the Luo Empire, it was once known as the peaceful and prosperous age of singing and dancing.
, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, it is definitely the happiest situation for ordinary people, and it is still talked about by people today."
Chun Yuxuan's tone changed when she said this: "It is a pity that the peaceful and prosperous age only lasted for thirty years. Just when the economy and politics of the Luo Ao Empire reached their peak and the operation was very reasonable, it collapsed silently.
.”
This is a piece of history that many people in the continent are familiar with, and it is also an unsolved mystery. Gu Yao is also curious about why the unprecedentedly powerful Luo Ao Empire has such a short lifespan, but Chun Yuxuan seems to understand the truth and can't help but listen attentively.
"The cause of the collapse of the empire was the sudden death of the emperor. This was also very surprising to many people at the time, including future generations. You must know that Emperor Luo was not only the supreme ruler of the empire, but also recognized as a cleric in addition to the temple.
The mainland's number one master. At that time, he was only in his fifties and in his prime. However, all the famous doctors in the continent were helpless and could only watch helplessly as this emperor created a peaceful and prosperous era and established a magnificent foundation unprecedented in history.
Slowly moving toward death."
Gu Yao was very confused, and he was also confused by other later people who were interested in the history of Luo Ao Empire. If Emperor Luo Ao was really the number one master in the mainland at that time, he must have had strong strength and physique. Such a person died due to illness.
Extremely rare...
"It's strange, isn't it? Why would such a strong person die inexplicably?" Chun Yuxuan smiled, but Gu Yao felt that her smile contained anger and dissatisfaction: "Because all this is the mastermind behind the scenes.
The work of the temple that the world sings about!”
The temple, the temple again! Even the mystery of the disintegration of the Luo Empire that no historian can explain is actually related to the temple. Gu Yao wondered: "Why did the temple do this?"
"Because the Luo Ao Empire was so powerful," Chun Yuxuan explained: "It was so powerful that it could even shake the prestige of the temple. Moreover, the Luo Ao Empire was unprecedentedly prosperous at that time. The emperor was wise, mighty, benevolent, and had a strong personality.
People's love and support for him reached the point of fanaticism, approaching the level of the Lord of the Temple and the Supreme Pope. The Temple would never allow this to happen, so the first step they took to destroy the empire was to plot against that person.
An emperor."
Gu Yao was horrified and moved. If Chun Yuxuan's words were true, it would be really shocking. The temple only used the guise of "not interfering with human beings" internal affairs, but secretly did some shady things.
"The death of the emperor plunged the Luo Ao Empire into chaos, but it was only a short-lived chaos. At that time, Luo Ao had already formed a very systematic management mechanism. After losing an emperor, they elected another royal family who was most suitable to be the emperor.
Although he was in power with the help of other capable ministers, the empire was still in power for some reason.
It fell into trouble, became more and more chaotic, and collapsed in less than a few years. This period of history is also incomprehensible to future generations. Even if the first emperor unfortunately died of illness, given the situation at the time, the empire did not disintegrate.
There are signs. However, how do they know that this is all caused by the temple behind it?"
"After that, the Temple realized that the excessive concentration of imperial power would pose a threat to their status. In order to avoid the same situation, they would find ways to kill all forces that might develop into as powerful as the Luo Empire in advance. Therefore, for three thousand years,
The forces in the Kadi Continent are always scattered and insignificant, and it is even less likely that anyone will be able to unify the continent again. As long as the temple still exists, the peaceful and prosperous era of the past will not be possible again."
If it weren't for the black hand of the temple, would the prosperity of the Luo Empire and people's living and working in peace and contentment have continued, even to this day? If that were the case, I would not have lost my family and become an orphan.
Temple, is the real murderer?
Gu Yao suddenly became angry. Regardless of whether the Luo Empire had the vitality to survive to this day, people at that time at least enjoyed a rare peaceful and happy life. However, the temple destroyed the peaceful world with its own hands, making people return to
Trapped in dire straits, of course once the empire disintegrated, the wars between the powerful powers in order to compete for territory must have made countless people orphans like him.
For selfish reasons, he destroyed the peaceful age and caused the Kadi continent to fall apart. Is this what the Temple of Benevolence did?
Of course, whether Chun Yuxuan’s words are true is a question worthy of discussion. Why is she so aware of the dark inside story of history thousands of years ago?
After thinking about this, Gu Yao said again: "What a wonderful story, girl, how do you know these secrets?"
"Because we are from the Chunyu family," Chunyuxuan said slowly, "we are the descendants of the royal family of the Luo Ao Empire!" -----------
