Chapter 358: If There Is No Candlelight From Now on (4k)
After leaving the Dragon City headquarters, the three true disciples headed north and arrived at the base city of the Imperial Capital.
Under Yunquezi's guidance, the three of them arrived at the Martial Arts Department and the Zhenbei Heavenly King's office.
Lu Chenzhou's heart was moved. This appointment as lampmaster actually required the person in charge of the current world to personally execute him. It was really extraordinary.
The senior brothers and sisters were waiting outside, Lu Chenzhou entered first, and Zhenbei Heavenly King was meditating.
Rumor has it that this man has opened up 90 orifices in his brain and is now at the end.
There is no need to open the orifices at this stage. There is only one thing to do, which is to penetrate the 720 orifices throughout the body in order to reach higher!
After a moment, the King of Zhenbei opened his eyes and stood up, like a long knife cutting through the darkness, his power was domineering and unstoppable.
"Lu Chenzhou, is there anything strange about your way of the world?"
Lu Chenzhou was shocked. He had only talked about it with his senior brother and senior sister.
It is estimated that the master in the candle world does not know either.
How did he know about this martial arts king whom he had never met before?
Wait, he remembered the king in black that day.
Lu Chenzhou asked: "That day, Yun Mengze, was the senior testing the junior?"
Zhenbei Heavenly King nodded slightly: "Yes, it can be regarded as providing some insignificant help to your enlightenment."
Lu Chenzhou quickly said with a serious expression of gratitude: "Thank you, senior, for the heads-up!"
That question that pointed directly to his heart really benefited him a lot, allowing him to finally firm up the way of the world!
King Zhenbei said: "I'm just testing you. In fact, you already know your way, but you don't dare to face it directly."
Lu Chenzhou nodded in response: "How did senior know that there was something wrong with the way of my world?"
The interior location of the warrior is fake and does not exist. It is essentially his body.
The World Tree embodied in it is the manifestation of His Tao.
Even if he is a top powerhouse, he can at most feel a ray of Tao Yun when he explodes with momentum, but he should not be able to see the details clearly.
The King of Zhenbei smiled and said: "I guess...because anyone who follows the way of the world will have problems."
Lu Chenzhou: "..."
No wonder the senior brothers and sisters were hesitating, they were afraid that their Taoist hearts would be damaged, right?
The problem is, Master didn't remind him. Could it be that he forgot?
Could it be that the way of the world really doesn't work?
Suddenly, an angry shout came: "Don't think too much, just because there is a problem, it doesn't mean you can't leave! If you make a choice, you must be firm!"
Lu Chenzhou came to his senses immediately and woke up suddenly.
"Your realm is too low. Although your martial arts will is far superior to those of the same realm, it is not enough to fully control the world. It is not a big problem."
"Thank you, senior, I understand."
"Well, always be firm in your Taoist heart and give yourself psychological hints every day. Why do some top experts have a little stubbornness in their personalities? Because in the path of martial arts, there is no such word as [regret]! Regardless of whether it is there or not. The problem, no matter how difficult it is, I only have one road until it gets dark, and there will always be a way for the car to reach the mountain!"
"Senior...what if there is no way?"
"If you don't have it, you won't have it. It's going to be difficult for a long time, and the most you can do is die! We just have to do our best in everything. Until we are not strong enough, we can only listen to fate."
"Thanks to the seniors for their advice, the juniors have benefited a lot!"
"The reason why there are problems with the way of the world is, on the one hand, because the world itself contains all things good and bad. This is normal. Light and darkness are inherently integrated... But what I want to say is another reason. Have you ever thought about it? Is there something wrong with the world?"
"Is it because of the evil god?"
"Yes, to be precise, it's because of the Law of the Stars."
"What is the Law of the Stars?"
"You can understand it as another kind of rule that is completely different from ours..."
"So, the evil god comes from another universe?"
"The Great Wilderness and the Three Thousand Worlds are both in a folded complex multi-dimensional structure. This structure is the universe! The planet we are on and this starry sky are just a folded dimension of the universe. The Three Thousand Worlds that the top people go to, They are three thousand different folded dimensions. In some dimensions, the sky is round and the place is like the Great Wilderness. There is only an endless continent and there is no starry sky above. In some dimensions, the technology may be more advanced than ours. The differences between different dimensions are huge. ”
"So the Silver Eagle Federation's interstellar immigration plan won't work, right?"
"Yes, because whenever you are in this dimension, wherever there are living beings, the evil gods will be able to sense them, because they are located in the center of the universe, in the wilderness!"
"What about escaping to other three thousand world dimensions?"
"There are indeed dimensions that have not yet been invaded by evil gods, but it is only a matter of time before the evil gods have the wilderness as a bridgehead. In fact, with our current strength and technology, it is simply not enough to take hundreds of millions of living beings out of the world, so those evacuation groups The grandsons just want to leave with their self-proclaimed elite comrades."
"Abandon the bottom?"
"This kind of person will never achieve great success in martial arts."
"Senior, can you see the inscription of Ge Xianweng on the third spiral staircase of the martial arts peak? Do you think it is possible to practice in interior scenes and lead human guerrillas?"
"Theoretically, we can fight for a while...but treating the symptoms rather than the root cause is the last resort in desperate situations."
"We still have to destroy the evil god."
"That's why I invite you, the determined resistance faction, as lamp bearers, not only for the sake of civilization, but also for your own martial arts. There are problems with your way of the world because this world has been polluted by evil gods. , but the degree is still shallow. If you want to go further on the road, you need to eliminate the power of evil gods in the world, but this is also a temporary solution. If you want to go further, you must clean up the three thousand worlds and the wilderness, and eliminate the laws of the stars. The law banishes it.”
At this moment, Lu Chenzhou finally realized how difficult his path was.
He must fight against the evil god forever until the final victory is determined!
King Zhenbei smiled and asked:
"Are you a little scared?"
"Indeed...but I am not afraid of difficulties and avoid shame and uselessness."
"Hahaha! Well, with your words, I feel relieved. President Wan is right. You are a good piece of material, in every aspect."
"That's ridiculous. I would like to ask, how long will it take for the president to break through?"
"I don't know. The further you go, the harder it becomes. Looking at the vast wilderness, the eight realms are all top-level experts. After all, the nine realms are what the gods of the stars call [demigods]."
Chatting with the King of Zhenbei, Lu Chenzhou gained a lot of knowledge.
Finally, the King of Zhenbei took out a token as black as ink, with a candle-bearing red dragon token with a human face and a snake body outlined on it, shining with a mysterious luster.
"This is the [Lamp Holding Order], also known as the Candle Dragon Order. It was left to us by a deceased god of wasteland. There are only 360 of them. Anyone who holds this order is a member of my Lantern Holding Order. Ling is not only a token, it is also an instant communication tool, which is very important in the dark era when satellite signals are weak. "
Lu Chenzhou took the token. The material was cold and the aura was ancient, reminding him of Wu Shui's token.
"This is a token forged by a divine object, it is indestructible."
"Fantasy?"
"Yes, this is a treasure that is still among the treasures of heaven and earth. It is the fallen scales of the late god of waste."
"Hiss... if this is forging a divine weapon, wouldn't it?"
"You cannot change or control it one bit without divine intervention."
"It's also excellent as a breast shield."
"That's okay. Wu Shui Ling and Tian Dou Ling are actually forged from rare materials of heaven and earth. This is to prevent them from being damaged and the inheritance cut off in the long years. The Lamp Holder Ling can recognize its owner with a drop of blood. Once the owner is recognized, unless the original owner Death will not choose anyone else as the leader. The new lantern holder needs to go through multiple tests and agree with more than two-thirds of the lantern holders before they can recognize themselves as the leader again. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the enemy picking up the token and infiltrating our group. middle!"
After the blood dripped, a flow of information from the token poured into Lu Chenzhou's mind.
He closed his eyes and entered another world in a trance:
Beyond the Great Wilderness Beihai, to the north of Wu River, there is Tianzhu Mountain.
There is a god, with a human face and a snake body, and a red body. His eyes are straight, his gaze is dark, and his sight is bright.
The red snake is coiled on the top of the mountain, and time and space are chaotic all around. Black holes are like buckets, dotting the starry sky.
In front of Red Snake, Lu Chenzhou was as small as a speck of dust.
Sizhou Xingjun·Zhu! He is the great god who controls time. In the legend of Daxia, he is called [Candle Dragon].
Like Siming Xingjun Chiji, he is also the top existence in the eyes.
Time, fate... these mysterious and mysterious principles can be compared with ordinary principles.
Given Lu Chenzhou's level as a martial arts master, he would not be able to look directly at the gods unless Red Snake was dead.
What he saw was just a trace of will power contained in a scale that had gone through countless years, just like the Tao Yun of ancient sages!
The red snake's eyes spanned eternity.
One person and one snake, silent.
I don’t know how long it has been, it could be ten thousand years, or it could be just a blink of an eye.
Lu Chenzhou's pupils reflected scenes of stars falling, mountains collapsing and seas sinking, the sky collapsing and the earth splitting apart, and all souls withered.
Before the illusion collapsed, he clearly heard a melancholy, majestic, and expectant question:
[From now on, if there is no candlelight in the world, are you willing to be the only light? 】
"I do!"
He didn't hesitate at all about this.
Because his way of the world is closely related to civilization!
Buzz! Lu Chenzhou woke up with his eyes open and looked at the extremely hot token in his palm.
The small characters of red flames that flicker on and off appear one after another:
[Candle Dragon Apostle·Number Zero].
"Number Zero??"
King Zhenbei's expression changed slightly, and his tone became a little more serious, a little unbelievable.
Lu Chenzhou's expression was also very exciting. He looked at the martial arts tree in his mind.
At some point, it had grown from a hundred feet to a hundred and fifty feet.
The will in this candle dragon order can actually promote the growth of martial arts trees.
The martial arts tree seems to unlock different functions every time it reaches some fixed nodes.
At first, it was just a display of proficiency.
Fifty feet later, the [Battle Journey] began.
Lu Chenzhou is looking forward to when will the next node be?
What new functions can be created?
Faintly, his understanding of Tao, his martial arts will, and spirit seemed to have improved greatly.
When Lu Chenzhou came to his senses, King Zhenbei's expression had returned to calm.
"Congratulations, you have become a member of the Lantern Bearer."
"Senior, what does No. 0 mean? Am I the first to get this token?"
"No, you are the 360th..."
"I'm the last one. My senior brother and sister also got it?"
"yes."
"They said no..."
"They have to keep it secret until you become the lamp bearer."
"Okay, then why am I number zero, and who is number one?"
"No. 1 is my master, President Wan."
"..."
"What about my master?"
"Number thirty-six."
Lu Chenzhou was a little confused. Was he still before Wanshixian? Doesn’t this go against Tiangang again?
"Senior, is there anything special about this serial number?"
"At present, there is no... In fact, we have always thought that the numbers start from No. 1, and are ranked according to strength or talent potential."
The king of Zhenbei couldn't understand it either.
In terms of strength, Lu Chenzhou was at the bottom among the lantern wielders.
In terms of talent, Lu Chenzhou has great potential, but his performance at this stage cannot exceed the peak, or even the Dragon King and Eternal Immortal.
"This is not important. You should also be clear about the powers of the Lantern Holder. Anyone who threatens you and the safety of civilization, you have the right to kill first and then report. The Candle Dragon Order itself also has the function of reflecting your law enforcement projection, and these will be all Palmlight enables shared viewing, and of course, you can turn it off during non-law enforcement periods.”
"good."
"The peak is far away. There are now three factions in Daxia, the resistance faction, the evacuation faction, and the surrender faction... The lamp-bearers are all resistance factions. After layers of screening, they can trust each other. But besides the 360 people, most people also It should be a resistance faction, but if you know people and faces but don’t know their hearts, from martial arts masters to kings of heaven, there must be people who are the same as us. Those who hold different ideas are secretly doing things that split civilization. If such people are discovered, they will be caught and uprooted. If the evacuationists can return from the lost way, they will naturally be welcome. If they can't, then they can only do so. Scrape the bones to cure the poison. Those who collude with sects and harm civilization will be uprooted and executed!"
The King of Zhenbei's eyes were cold, and he did not want to do anything to his compatriots unless necessary.
Daxia has always believed in the will of all martial arts masters.
But if the external pressure is too great, it is inevitable that some will collapse.
Lu Chenzhou sighed: "Does even the King of Heaven give up?"
Who can become the King of Heaven is someone who is not a genius, with great perseverance and great talent.
The King of Zhenbei lamented:
"No matter how strong our martial will is, facing an evil god whose strength far exceeds ours... we are still in danger of being corrupted."
"What is the primary responsibility of this junior?"
"Theoretically, the Lantern Master can parachute into any area of Daxia to enforce law... You are too weak, so you can temporarily handle small cases in the Jiangnan area. Our Martial Arts Department has a special [Supervision Department] responsible for secretly collecting evidence, and will issue tasks from time to time. , you can recruit no more than ten absolutely trusted [Lamp Guards] to assist in the investigation and handling of cases, so as not to waste too much practice time. The Lamp Guards need to be reviewed by the Martial Arts Department once a year. If any problems are found, they will be dealt with seriously. "
Some figures had already flashed through Lu Chenzhou's mind.
"Senior, does the lantern holder also need to be inspected every year?"
"No need. When we became the Apostles of the Candle Dragon, our destiny was bound to civilization, and we had no way out. Although the Great Wilderness was destroyed, it left a glimmer of hope for the three thousand worlds. Now the era of gods is gone. , we want to create the dawn era of mankind and... create myths with our own hands!"
