Lin Chong's guess.

704 was speechless for a while.

It seemed that Lin Chong reminded them of a possibility that they had forgotten.

After coming to my senses, it seemed like someone over there was slapping his thigh: "Yes!"

"Before his death, King Yama said that if there was an official historical record, he could be called back to the mortal world... The four nations of Heaven, Earth, Xuan and Yellow claimed to be the orthodox of Chi You, and they also wanted to gain Chi You's recognition and call him back to the mortal world... This is not right."

704 said this and became confused.

“The gods behind the four sects will never want to call back Chi You from the root fruit, so what are these four countries doing in the name of orthodoxy?”

Lin Chong has his own opinion on this. "There may be two goals. One is to use the name of orthodoxy to deceive Chi You's trust and determine the ownership of the root fruit. The second is to target Chi You. You know, an ancient fierce god like Chi You may be an excellent raw material for making magic weapons or something."

"That makes sense, but...how do we do it?" 704 raised a new question, "How can we connect with Chiyou in the root fruit?"

How can we summon Chiyou?

"This method is very clever." Lin Chong laughed.

"When I conquered various realms before, I used the human race's method of seizing the luck of a realm to obtain the root fruit. In fact, this is done by brute force. After talking with King Yan Luo, I went around the Warring States Realm and talked with the four kings. Then I realized that there was a better way in the Root Fruit Old God Stage..."

Just now.

When Lin Chong was communicating with the four kings of Tiandi Xuanhuang, he asked them what they were doing. In other words, what have you who claim to be descendants of Chiyou done to gain Chiyou's approval?

The four kings said a lot, but to sum it up, there are only two things: one is war, and the other is sacrifice.

so……

"The most important affairs of a country lie in sacrifices and warfare. Sacrifice requires holding the meat sticks, and warfare requires receiving the meat sticks. These are the great etiquettes of the gods!" After hearing Lin Chong's narration, 704's voice became a little excited, and he recited a passage from Zuo Zhuan.

What this passage means is that the most important things for a country are war and sacrifice. These two things must be done with extreme caution in order to show the greatest respect to God.

"Yes!" Lin Chong said, "War and sacrifice. First, there must be enough sacrifices. This is the meaning of war, that is, enough people must die. Second, there must be sufficiently solemn sacrifices. Sacrifice does not mean placing a statue of a god and burning some incense and candles, but to compile history... Especially when facing a vicious ancient god like Chi You."

The four kings said that when their subordinates, under the banner of Chiyou, attacked cities and seized lands, if they were victorious, the fortune-tellers in the country would receive divine revelations.

When the diviner contacts the gods, he will know some of the gods' past.

In Lin Chong's view, this is just like collecting cards. Whoever collects the most complete cards first and can write a complete "History of Chiyou" will be the true Chiyou of this world and will be favored by the root fruit. Or at that time, the immortal sect behind this country will be able to taste the root fruit and refine Chiyou into a magic weapon or something like that.

"This is like fishing. Using humans as bait, you hook the gods in the root fruit." 704 sighed.

"If they are fishing, we are frying fish." Lin Chong's eyes sparkled. "I'll send you some photos later. They are the history paintings of Chi You in the ancestral temple of the Earth Kingdom. They look similar to the legends about Chi You on Earth. If they are really similar..."

"Then we don't need to fight or sacrifice, we can just flip through the history books and find Chi You's original record. Isn't that equivalent to Chi You's summoning spell? Oh my god, what King Yama said about summoning him out according to the original record in the official history is really literal." 704 thought this was a bit too exciting.

"What will happen if the old gods are summoned?" 704 asked Lin Chong.

"It's hard to say. We have to try." Lin Chong replied.

"Let's gather experts in literature and history to quickly study the history related to Chiyou." 704 made the decision.

"It's a pity that we can't view the history of the earth from a God's perspective..." Lin Chong sighed, otherwise it would be much simpler.

"AWIC pushed for that agreement for a reason," said 704. The agreement he was talking about was the one Lin Chong signed that day, called "Confidentiality Agreement on the History of Earth Civilization."

The content of the agreement is that the Universal Emperor shall not observe or tamper with the history of Earth civilization unless the survival of Earth civilization is in danger and with the unanimous consent of all AWIC member states.

The issue that all countries are worried about is very simple. Every country has some secrets. Once Lin Chong sees all of them, it means that Lin Chong has grasped the lifeline of all countries. Although he has grasped it now, at least there is still a fig leaf, right?

"I know." When talking about the politics of various countries on Earth, Lin Chong always feels a bit headache. Forget it, forget it, don't think about it.

704 returned to the previous topic, "If our previous inference is correct, it really proves the saying that knowledge is power."

"Or should we put it this way, history is power," said Lin Chong.

“The new gods of the heavens want to cover up history, but at the same time they want to gain power from history. This is quite contradictory,” said 704.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"No, it's not contradictory. This is a process of unity of opposites." Lin Chong said, "The old calendar of gods and Buddhas is fertilizer and nutrients that nourish the birth of the new calendar of the heavens. Every old god that is exhausted will create a new god, a new Taoist tradition and a new inheritance."

Putting the old gods into the root fruit and eating the root fruit is a complete process.

As for killing him directly, well, according to what happened to King Yama, it might be, firstly, not in line with the procedure, and secondly, too wasteful.

The twenty-four heavens really seem like ruthless laws and machines.

"Survival of the fittest? I really want to know what happened at that moment, so that all the gods and Buddhas in the sky ended up in such a tragic end." 704 sighed, "In the end, among all the heavens and myriad worlds, only the Earth civilization remained, and their titles and history were still preserved."

Yes, this is too mysterious a history, just like the moment when the Big Bang occurred, which is the separation of the world. It makes people imagine and want to get a glimpse of it.

"In such a history, we, as outsiders, should not have a position. But first, Xingmingtian wanted to refine the Earth civilization and became our enemy. In addition, do you know what makes me want to stand on the side of the old gods?" Lin Chong asked 704.

"Is... this the reason why human books were created?" 704 asked.

“Yes.” Lin Chong nodded. “In the universe, the human race is garbage, food, and leftovers. But even in the shadow world, which has been deprived of everything, the human race still maintains the last etiquette…”

Lin Chong thought of the shadow people in the shadow world who ate their parents.

"They are not transformed into beasts because they are still protected by their roots. When the gods and Buddhas ruled over the human race, they might have been high above them, but at least they still treated the human race as human. In the Era of the Universe, the human race is no longer human. If the gods and Buddhas are fertilizer, then the human race is the lowest dust..."

How sad.

How unfair.

"We have to correct all of this in order to create a foundation for the survival of Earth civilization." Lin Chong said, "Let's start with the Warring States Border. I have an idea. If it can really be realized, I think we have found a faint possibility of destroying the heavens..."
