I am submissive in Journey to the West, I strike hard at the gods
Chapter 390 The Source of Sacrifice!Jiang Wang saw Hou Tu Niangniang taking the lead and flying towards the holy ruins above the sky. In a flash of light and shadow, they appeared on a mysterious plateau, surrounded by an endless sea of blood.
Ten strange bronze coffins stood in front of the plateau. One of them was already opened, and a blurry figure covered with white hair was condensing.
Behind the bronze coffin, there is a huge altar looming in the distance, with countless lights and shadows flashing in the middle, as if taking in everything in front of it. It also seems like an illusion from eternity ago, unreal and illusory, and difficult to describe.
More than a dozen men and women stood on the blood river, with different shapes and imposing manners. Each of them had a higher cultivation level than Jiang Wang. At this moment, they were looking in disbelief at the mysterious woman with a human body and a snake tail who suddenly appeared in front of them. Although she was extremely beautiful, she still had great majesty. She looked weak and fragile, but she enveloped the entire world.
From the moment she appeared, the light and shadow on the altar, as well as the infinite time and space connected to the bronze coffin, were all shrouded in her majesty. However, there was surprisingly no aura of oppression, only a sense of compassion like a spring breeze. If one paid a little attention, it would disappear into nothingness, as if the world and all things in her eyes did not exist at all.
Qingyi was the Saint Maiden of the Bu Tian Dao. The moment Hou Tu Niangniang appeared, she felt a sense of enlightenment in her heart, a sense of the second Bu Tian Dao that appeared after she evolved countless possibilities. It was transforming from a weak force that descended from the sky into a towering mountain, and it merged with the heaven and earth in an instant. All sources pointed to the mysterious person in front of her, who could be called a "woman" at the moment.
For the first time, the desolate world of eternity saw the emergence of vigorous vitality, and it was not just a tiny seedling evolved from her husband, Emperor Huang Tian, and the other three subsequent emperors. From the moment she appeared, she became the entire repaired Heavenly Dao.
Yes, this woman has replaced the ten strange ancestors and become the true way of heaven. The nine heavens and ten earths, infinite time and space, are all presented one by one without omission in her eyes that pity the world.
Countless tributaries of time turned into nothingness, leaving only the indestructible river of time that suddenly appeared a few days ago, born from nothingness.
From now on, the past is the past, the present is in the moment, and the future is smooth sailing!How can this be?
Qingyi quickly turned her gaze towards her husband, Emperor Huang Tian, who had just appeared. "Who are they?"
Emperor Huang Tian had a strange expression on his face as he introduced to his many friends and relatives, "This is the future Emperor Ye Tian who brought in reinforcements from the outside world, Empress Hou Tu. She is a transcendent being above the Dao, and is recognized by the infinite time and space, the infinite heaven and earth. Empress Hou Tu has transformed the burial ground into the place of the six reincarnations. Everything started from the most desolate burial ground."
As soon as he finished speaking, nine strange auras flashed and disappeared between heaven and earth, and then nine tightly closed bronze coffins on the plateau slowly opened, revealing a hazy figure in each.
The many quasi-emperor-level masters in front of them all sensed something and knew that the nine strange ancestors in the bronze coffin had died, just like the most unpredictable strange ancestor who had just suffered the same fate.
But as the founders of the way of sacrifice, as long as the bronze coffin is not destroyed, they must have some strange way to resurrect.
Jiang Wang was not surprised by this result. Instead, he was very interested in the Twelve Heavenly Demons arranged by Hou Tu Niangniang. They were above the sky, but still shrouded by the formation, just hidden. If he did not know the formation, he would not have thought that Hou Tu Niangniang's magic power could penetrate the two worlds without any attenuation.
This is also where the power of the Queen Mother Hou Tu lies. The earth carries all things. As long as the formation originates from the earth, wherever the Queen Mother goes, it will be covered by the formation without any omission.
At this time, the relatives and friends of Emperor Huang Tian were shocked, but they could not raise much objection in front of this woman, and even thought that this was natural. At this time, the ten ancestors of the Dao of Sacrifice had been resurrected, but their abilities were less than one ten-million of their original ones. This was somewhat similar to the experience of Emperor Huang Tian. As long as the thought was not extinguished, there would be a day of resurrection. The bronze coffin only accelerated the speed of resurrection.
The ten strange ancestors in front of him slowly gathered together again after being resurrected, and turned into a tall man holding a mace. He gave a fierce look to the people in front of him, then turned forward, walked onto the mysterious plateau, and knelt down in front of the altar in the middle.
A hazy figure slowly appeared above the altar, and uttered a shrill voice, "Who on earth disturbed my sleep? I don't want your sacrifices, take them all away!"
As the voice sounded, the figure gradually transformed into a person with pus and black blood all over his body. He waved his hand rudely and turned the man kneeling on the ground and the mace in his hand into nothingness.
Even though Jiang Wang was not as familiar with the ins and outs of the world of Shrouding the Sky as the useless prophet, he guessed that the source of all the sacrifices came from the owner of this bronze coffin, and Ye Xiaoheizi was brought to this area by his Nine Dragons Coffin.
As soon as he saw this illusory figure, a question popped up in his mind. The weird ancestors and their clansmen sacrificed so many worlds, even including Ye Xiaoheizi's future, but failed to resurrect the owner of the bronze coffin. Even if the power is not enough, the power will not disappear from this source.
But the living fact before our eyes was that the owner of the bronze coffin was only a trace of incomplete spiritual consciousness, still suffering from illness, with black blood all over the ground, and without much power from the sacrifice.
He quickly opened the Dimension Chat Group and asked Ye Xiaoheizi and Waste Prophet about the situation.The guard at the South Heaven Gate said, "Has the useless prophet woken up? Is there anyone else who knows the source of everything in the world of Shrouding the Heavens? Who is the sacrifice method created by the Lord of the Copper Coffin for?"
Confucian and Taoist Newcomer: "My Lord, your question is very philosophical and goes straight to the core. Yes, the owner of the bronze coffin relies on sacrifice to gain power above the sacrifice. So he is not the one who accepted the sacrifice in the beginning. Even if all the weird people offer sacrifices to him, the technique is the way of sacrifice, which means that he is at best a quality inspector and does not have much benefit. Who is the one being sacrificed?"
Wandering Earth: "According to my data clone's simulation analysis, there should be a sacrificed being in the world of Zhan Tian, commonly known as the Incense God. According to the rules of sacrifice and blessing, at most the sacrifices will be returned to the sky, and a small part of the sacrifices must be kept for personal use. The probability that there is a sacrificed Incense God in the world of Zhan Tian is as high as 96.348%."
Waste Prophet: "My Lord God, I'm sorry, I'm still dizzy and want to sleep..."
Jiang Wang looked at the answers in the group and thought that Han Su's big data analysis made the most sense. Moreover, the fact that Hou Tu Niangniang had no intention of attacking the owner of the bronze coffin was enough to prove that the fun was yet to come. Any incense god could not go very far, especially since Hou Tu Niangniang directly sacrificed the Weird Ancestor, the biggest source of power for the incense god, to heaven and earth. This incense god only got a little commission and did not get much power. He was not the opponent of Hou Tu Niangniang, whose power came from herself.
The owner of the bronze coffin straightened up and stood in front of Hou Tu Niangniang. He nodded slowly and said, "I dreamed of you a few days ago. I didn't expect you to actually appear in front of me. Thank you for clearing up my doubts. It turns out that I was wrong. I was wrong all my life. I can disappear from the world without any regrets and have no connection with this world anymore."
Hou Tu Niangniang looked at him with pity on her face and said slowly, "Don't you want to know who you are offering sacrifice to?"
The owner of the bronze coffin had a trace of confusion in his eyes. "I am offering a sacrifice to heaven and earth. Could it be fake?"
The Queen Mother Hou Tu smiled slightly. "If you offer sacrifices to the heaven and earth without asking for anything, the heaven and earth will accept the sacrifice. If you ask for something, the heaven and earth will naturally give birth to a being created by your obsession to respond to your sacrifice. Therefore, the heaven and earth you offer sacrifices to has been transformed from your obsession into a demon. In our world, it is called Asura, the lord of all demons."
As soon as she finished speaking, a long sigh came from between heaven and earth, "Aren't you the Asura from that world?"
As soon as the words fell, a phantom female figure appeared on the altar, with three heads and eight arms, and one head in the middle. Her appearance was very pretty and charming, three points more beautiful than Hou Tu Niangniang, and seven points less dignified.
The Master of the Bronze Coffin and a group of Immortal Emperors and Heavenly Emperors stared in amazement at this mysterious existence that had never been recorded in any books and even unknown to the Master of Sacrifice. They only felt a gloomy and cold breath emanating from the woman's figure, pointing directly to the endless past time and space, proving without any falsehood that she was the source of all the disasters in the world.
After a long while, the owner of the bronze coffin said in a trembling voice: "You have not surpassed the Way of Sacrifice, you have not surpassed the Way of Sacrifice, you are not as good as this fellow Taoist in front of you!"
The charming Asura turned her head and turned into a red-faced, angry-eyed, ferocious face. She said in a clear voice: "You are not doing your best, and you still blame me? If you can accumulate merits and become a saint, I can also be called the mother of all things in this world. After all the worlds, if you place your hopes on me one day, who will I place my hopes on?"
Jiang Wang's jaw dropped to the ground. This... was not a life-and-death fight between the Creator Jin Xian, but a couple in a family quarreling over trivial matters.
The owner of the bronze coffin quickly turned around and looked at the Queen Mother Hou Tu, "May I ask fellow Taoist, can accumulating merits truly lead to transcendence and becoming a saint?"
The Queen Mother Hou Tu shook her head, "To become a saint through merit is also a false saint. Only when one's own primordial essence returns to unity and the body and the Tao merge, can one achieve the Great Dao. But without merit, the world is like duckweed without roots and fish without water. How can one grow and perfect the Great Dao? Even the seven saints in our prehistoric world did not take the last step and point directly to the Great Dao. However, the future is already here, so I came to seek another opportunity!"
The owner of the bronze coffin sighed, "It's a pity that I won't see that day. I was wrong. I was wrong from the beginning. I should blame myself for this. I can only blame myself. It's easy to say that I should not seek help from others, but how can I do it without seeking help from others? Forget it. I can hear the truth in the morning and die in the evening. I can finally leave with peace of mind and not let my rotten bones bring disaster to this world!"
As soon as the words fell, the figure of the owner of the bronze coffin gradually faded and disappeared into nothingness.
However, Jiang Wang vaguely caught a glimpse of something indescribable, which was spreading from all directions to the heaven, earth and all things. At the end of the endless river of time, the owner of the bronze coffin would still have to bear endless suffering for his actions to repay his debt to the heaven, earth and all things.
It’s not that I don’t report it, the time has not yet come!Ashura standing in the middle of the scene was not afraid of being attacked by the goddess Hou Tu, who was more powerful and authoritative than him. Instead, he started to taunt her, "Aren't you kind-hearted? Why don't you gather his scattered divine consciousness and bring him to your place of reincarnation, so that he can be reincarnated and return to your world?"
The Queen Mother Hou Tu responded lightly, "Return everything you owe to this world, and he will naturally enter the reincarnation. If you want to anger me, you'd better give up. I have already lost all hope countless times ago. I would rather watch my brother's soul fly away than to fulfill my duty that I cannot escape."
Asura's charming face returned to its original state, and she chuckled, "Performing my duty is probably just paying off a debt. You and I are both Asuras, don't tell me what you're thinking?"
Jiang Wang's best choice at this time was to not appear in this time and space. If he heard about the dark history of Queen Hou Tu, he might suffer a lifetime of trouble.
Hou Tu Niangniang is the lord of all demons. It was her obsession that caused him to have such an obsession. He never dreamed of it, but there was a more understandable saying about the Wu clan in the prehistoric world, that is, the Wu clan was the demon clan. However, the recognized big devil in the prehistoric world had already hidden the truth in the rumors, but no one cared.
The Queen Mother Hou Tu smiled gently, "I was born from a trace of obsession of Daoist Nüwa Huang, but Daoist Nüwa Huang has already let go of the obsession, so I naturally changed from an Asura to the Witch Ancestor, becoming the first Witch in the world..."
When Jiang Wang heard the first sentence, he wanted to open the dimensional chat group to expose the news. This was a shocking secret. No wonder Hou Tu Niangniang and Nuwa Niangniang both had human bodies but snake tails. Their behavior styles were similar to Nuwa Niangniang, both of them were full of compassion, great perseverance, and great achievements.
He was daydreaming when Asura on the other side interrupted the words of the Queen Mother Hou Tu, "You want me to be like you and transform into another existence, but it's too late. You will definitely not allow me to do whatever I want in your world. You must make my soul fly away. You said I was a coward, but you are the real coward, hiding in this chaotic world and not daring to face your origin."
The face of the Queen Mother Hou Tu was calm, and she said in a concentrated voice: "With or without form, there are two sides of the same coin. Taoism and demonism are originally one. If you follow the trend, you are Taoism, and if you go against the trend, you are demonism. Although half of you and I are from the devil, don't forget the obsession of the other half from this world. Only when we are combined into one can we become Asura. Whether it is a demon or an immortal, I have the final say, and that is my true self. You are a puppet of the devil, how can I tolerate you?"
Jiang Wang cried out in his heart, is it too late for me to commit suicide now?I originally thought that the revelations made by Asura were extremely explosive, but unexpectedly, the revelations made by Queen Hou Tu herself were even more explosive. It turned out that Asura was originally a demon?No wonder Hou Tu Niangniang took in those Asuras that she rescued from the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag. No, those races can only be called the Asuras. They are creatures created by the Blood River Ancestor, not real Asuras. At most, their race can be considered to be called this name. (End of this chapter)
