Chapter 220: God's Fall (Part 2)
"Zhang Chun, answer me, you? Are you sure about this plan?"
High in the sky, Wu Gaoyuan, riding on the back of a giant eagle, gritted his teeth and whispered beside Zhang Chun. Looking at the scarlet shadow and [Myth] facing each other from a distance on the ground below, his muscles were tense and his tone was a bit solemn.
Zhang Chun beside him coughed up blood. Earlier, he was almost chopped off by the scarlet shadow. Now, even breathing was in great pain.
"But it seems a little strange." Zhang Chun frowned and thought. Earlier, when the scarlet shadow was brought down from the depths of the dream world by the snail to the sky of the real world, the scarlet shadow could have killed him in the first moment, but it was not until nearly half a minute later that the other party attacked him as if it was late, and even left some room for maneuver, and did not kill him.
"…Is it because of Yunyan?"
Zhang Chun said to himself, Wu Gaoyuan beside him glanced at him and pushed him.
Zhang Chun came back to his senses: "What? You? What did you just ask me?"
Wu Gaoyuan sighed and began to think about why he should be playing with his dog in the base, so why did he come to help in the battle without complaint, and even very likely lose his life... Thinking about it carefully, it was probably just a simple brain failure.
To make a long story short, when Zhang Chun first went to the God's Banquet through the channel of [Mythology], several super S-levels in various parts of the ruined city basically knew about his actions. Almost everyone had a sound transmission snail. At first, everyone, including Boss Lion, thought that Zhang Chun was just worried about "Yun Yan", so they followed him quietly to observe the situation, but they didn't expect that the other party had a big trick up his sleeve.
[Blood Mist] - the real [Blood Mist]. According to the previous conversation between Zhang Chun and the other party, the [Blood Mist] in the shell of [Origin] has been secretly following Yun Yan, assimilating him all the time and improving his divinity. Pollution made Zhang Chun feel more and more alert and repulsive.
In addition, based on the scarlet shadow dragging a chair and sitting at the position of the northwest god, it can be inferred that [Blood Mist] is very likely related to the northwest forces, so Zhang Chun secretly sent action signals to his companions in the ruined city, choosing a suitable place to fight, Wu Gaoyuan's fixed-point teleportation, using snails to teleport directly from dreams to reality, Zai Zhe's domain restrictions, and the lion boss who was farther away and ready to support at any time.
This was a large-scale battle, but due to the short preparation time, loopholes were still obvious.
"To be honest, I'm not sure." Zhang Chun finally remembered Wu Gaoyuan's previous question. He suppressed the urge to cough. The scar on his chest was slowly healing. He raised his hand and slowly lifted the bangs in front of him. His vision became particularly clear, and the battle below was deeply reflected in his eyes. "But there is not much time left. The group of people in the northwest are obviously planning something. Yunyan is very likely to move to the northwest in the future. And that place also has the [Ice Field] with home advantage, the alien base with various technological means, and even the assistance of the betrayer [Time] Yang Yongliang, plus the [Blood Mist] that is closely related to Yunyan... They are probably ready to wait for Yunyan to jump into the trap. We can't flexibly deal with various dangers in the enemy's base camp. Only by taking advantage of their unpreparedness and eliminating an important role in advance when the other party cannot interfere can we weaken them to a certain extent. So even if we can't kill [Blood Mist], we must severely injure Him!"
Wu Gaoyuan: “…”
He suddenly asked: "Zhang Chun, I have seen Yunyan being highly polluted by the divine nature. What about you?"
After saying this, Zhang Chun's pupils trembled slightly, and he suddenly lowered his voice, "...Let's put this matter aside and solve the blood mist issue first."
boom!
Below the sky, the ground?
The scarlet shadow dodged the heavy blow flexibly and almost fell to the ground? The grass under his feet? had long been destroyed and a lot of dust was flying in the sky.
"Ahem, the ash is so thick, I'm choking...?"
The scarlet shadow that had just stood firm looked at the Myth that was holding a stick in one hand and emitting black smoke not far away, and then looked at the huge, majestic, and dazzling Dharma image behind Him, and sighed again, with some helplessness in his voice, "Although I really want to say, "You are also a god, and we should be on the same side, but when I think about it carefully, you who were born in human mythology, may be not much different from the gods born by humans in a sense. But..."
The scarlet shadow spread out his hands and said, "Great Sage, there are no myths in this world anymore. Everything is dying, including myths. The humans here don't remember the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, or the Black and White Impermanence. Naturally, they don't know what you represent - that is to say, you shouldn't have been born. In all these years, there has never been a "myth" in the world. If humans don't remember you, how can they wake you up? So, Monkey King, you are not the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, you are not a "myth"."
[Myth] who was walking towards the scarlet shadow suddenly stopped, his tone still showing a bit of impatience, and it seemed that he didn't care at all about what the scarlet shadow said.
"Hmm? Isn't this nonsense? I have said it many times, I really can't be that monkey - but this kind of words are not for you to say all the time."
After saying this, he smashed the golden stick in his right hand into the ground. Strange patterns gradually appeared on the surface, and golden hoops lit up at both ends. In the middle was a piece of black iron, and the words "Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick 13,500 Jin" were engraved on the stick.
He grasped the golden stick again, and the stick flew in his hand like a dragon, causing a whistling sound in the wind.
While turning the golden stick, he walked towards the scarlet shadow again. There was an unknown look in his golden eyes. Every step he took was powerful, and his aura rose layer by layer. A terrifying aura spread wildly.
"I thought about it for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion. What if I can't become that monkey? What if today's humans don't remember the myths and legends? So what? My existence is proof, proof that there were thousands and thousands of people who praised our name. In the past, present, and future, in countless worlds, there are too many worlds and too many humans who still remember us. That's enough!"
The golden stick in his palm suddenly moved forward, with the tip pointing straight at the scarlet shadow in the distance. He said with a cheerful smile, "Boy, look at me. Who do you think of?"
Scarlet shadow: “…”
He did not respond immediately, but looked at [Myth] not far away. There seemed to be an overlapping shadow appearing on his body. He wore a phoenix-wing purple gold crown on his head, a golden chain mail armor on his body, and lotus silk cloud-walking shoes on his feet. The strange yet familiar attire made him slightly stunned.
"I see……"
It took him a long while to come back to his senses, thinking: "I remember now, it was that voice of 'Great Sage'. That voice of 'Great Sage' actually awakened you who should not exist in this world where myths and legends have long disappeared... A hundred years ago in this world, the world behind that guy, those mysterious powers actually crossed time, space and dimensions and came to you... It's incredible."
The scarlet shadow paused, then suddenly chuckled, "Sure enough, his appearance not only brought hope of a breakthrough, but also brought countless variables. It's a pity that he didn't land in the northwest."
His voice suddenly stopped, and he looked up suddenly, only to see a huge phantom full of divinity and majesty appear in the sky on the left with him as the center. He was wearing gorgeous armor, a three-mountain flying phoenix hat on his head, holding a three-pointed double-edged spear, with a vertical eye between his eyebrows, and a ferocious white dog at his feet.
The scarlet shadow was startled, then quickly looked to the right, and saw a young man with three heads and six arms standing in the air, with a bright red mark on his forehead, wearing a red silk Hun Tian silk, with wind and fire wheels under his feet, and the Qiankun circle around him shining with cold metallic light, and the fire spear seemed to be emitting flames, with unruly eyes and eyebrows.
“…”
The scarlet shadow finally looked behind him.
A Buddha wearing a cassock, with a golden body, his left hand in a fist, sitting on a white lotus, with a white light between his eyebrows, exuding a sense of sacredness and solemnity.
The tall Buddha lowered his eyebrows and said to the tiny shadow on the ground: "One flower is a world, one leaf is a bodhi. Donor, why are you so stubborn?"
Scarlet shadow: “…”
His tone was filled with disbelief, "Are these real or fake?"
Not far away, [Myth], who was looking up, scratched the back of his neck, "Tsk, it lacks a bit of agility. I thought I could summon it to play with it."
The scarlet shadow gave in? He was angry, "So it's just a projection..."
The next second, the shadow of Buddha above the scarlet shadow suddenly pressed down his palm, the wind whistled, and brought about a terrifying oppressive force.
The scarlet shadow ran and jumped, trying to break free, but no matter what, it always fell into the shadow of the giant hand.
He saw [Shen Hua] in the distance picking his ears, leaning on the golden stick, with a look of watching a good show written all over his body.
Scarlet shadow: "Cheat! This is cheating!! You? Are you using the Five Finger Mountain that once suppressed you? to suppress me?!"
[Myth] Picking his ears: "I told you I'm not that monkey... Hey, I didn't expect I could play this trick."
Even if the voice was lowered, the scarlet shadow still heard it very clearly, and immediately became furious, not caring about the situation here, and decisively clasped his hands together.
The next second, a towering blood-red tree appeared out of thin air behind him. Its lush scarlet leaves blocked the downward palm of the Buddha, like a sky-high barrier.
Only Scarlet Shadow himself and [Myth] could see the tree.
Only the gods and their chosen successors can see the divine origin that has transformed into a tree.
[Shinhwa] finally took a serious attitude.
High in the sky, on the back of a giant eagle.
Zhang Chun's brows relaxed, "It's out."
In the distance, Zaizhe, hanging high in the sky, looked at the palm of the Buddha that could no longer press down, and realized that the time had come, so he whispered: "The first rule of the domain - the sacred tree can appear in the world."
As soon as this rule fell, blood flowed from his lips, his eyebrows and eyes were gloomy, and he coughed twice, and continued? "The second rule of the domain, humans can attack..."
His throat seemed to be strangled by a pair of hands, death? death? The feeling of suffocation came over him, but he only paused for a moment, and then he spoke again in a hoarse and dry voice, word by word, "Humans can attack the sacred tree."
"The third rule—"
Everything in front of him went dark, the area began to tremble, a vague and chaotic sound came from the snail on his collar, and a faint laugh rang in his ears.
'Let me tell you about the third rule, okay?'
Zai Zhe: "Shut up and go back."
That is the guy who has the potential to become the God of Rules.
Using a human body to weaken a god would have serious consequences.
He closed his eyes tightly, then slowly opened them. A hint of scarlet appeared in his vision, like solidified blood, which was disgusting.
Zai Zhe rubbed his painful temples, pulled his mouth helplessly, and said with a smile: "Compared to the other two guys who wanted to die, I should be able to go back alive, haha."
He paused, and endured the pain in his throat as if it was cut by a knife, gritted his teeth and said: "The third rule, humans cannot die in this domain? - Ahem, okay, three? Rules, two - damn?, it can offset one fatal injury? "
Yes, this rule is effective.
"But? Get up, it's a good thing Yun Yan isn't here, otherwise after seeing this scene, he would probably rush over again and we wouldn't be able to stop him, right?"
Mission accomplished?, he stretched easily, then stiffened, silently spat out a mouthful of blood, and then continued to stretch as if nothing had happened.
In the distance, a fight is going on?
The black snakes coiled on the ground, the three giant eagles hovering in the sky, the black-armored warriors holding swords, the dense swarms of insects... Countless summoned creatures continuously poured out from the space behind Wu Gaoyuan, and as a price, his face became paler and paler, and his skin gradually became transparent.
Wu Gaoyuan's face was no longer smiling. He said expressionlessly to Zhang Chun, who was half-kneeling on one knee beside him, "Zhang Chun, after this is over, you must go talk to Yun Yan about the method of bleaching divine pollution. The next time you go crazy again, I will not participate in your bullshit plan with an unknown success rate."
"Okay," Zhang Chun smiled and said, "When everything is over, I promise to give myself a long vacation, the kind that I won't leave the mountains for several months."
He chuckled a few times, and his hands, which were pressed on the ground, had quietly climbed up the earth-brown veins, as if even the blood was beating. Following his control, the scarlet shadow that was entangled and fighting with the [Myth] in the distance did not bother to protect the Tree of Origin behind it. Perhaps in his impression, humans could not see or attack the tree, so there was no need to protect it deliberately.
Until now.
A huge earth-brown dragon gradually and quietly formed under the ground where the blood tree was, secretly looking for a chance to attack.
At this time, the scarlet shadow was being entangled by [Myth]. Compared to his unfamiliarity, [Myth]'s every move seemed particularly easy and fun. But soon, the three mountain-like Myth projections in the sky started to move, and they all attacked the huge blood tree on the ground with terrifying momentum.
A huge cloud of dust rose up, and the scarlet shadow not far from the blood tree stiffened all over. Then the whole figure became blurred and distorted, as if it was about to disappear.
But everyone at the scene was on high alert.
The bloody origin tree still stood between heaven and earth, with scattered broken pieces making crackling sounds.
The next second, a scarlet fog that covered the sky and the earth quickly spread out from the blood tree, sweeping over like a mad wave.
[Myth] frowned, and the moment he stepped into the bloody fog, he was choked and coughed repeatedly. An inexplicable feeling of rejection kept surging in his heart. After thinking for a moment, he withdrew from the bloody fog.
Fortunately, the blood mist did not spread over a large area.
The place where Zhang Chun and Wu Gaoyuan were located was a safe zone. [Myth] raised his chin towards that place and said, "There's something wrong with this fog. Don't touch it."
Zhang Chun nodded, looked at the bloody fog that exuded a strong and dangerous atmosphere, and sighed softly? "It really is the origin..."
at the same time.
Under the blood tree in the center of the blood mist, a scarlet shadow condensed again.
He was half squatting on the ground, coughing madly. When he looked up, he saw the dense cracks on the tree trunk. He was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe - although in a sense, he didn't need to breathe.
"I can't play this anymore, or I'll really crash..."
He began to actively control the blood tree to find another "master", then he coughed violently twice and felt weak all over.
The Blood Tree - the origin tree of [Blood Mist] automatically looked for another "master". In a sense, they were the same person. Under His deliberate command, the Blood Tree quickly found the boy deep in the dream.
The other party had just entered the ninth floor of the God Tower of the Kingdom of Dreams, and he was only a lake away from coming into contact with the Tree of Origin of [Dreams].
The scarlet shadow instantly became nervous. Time was running out. At this moment, Chu Xiuyan was no longer isolated by the power of the blood mist. Once he became the Dream God, it would be difficult for Him to assimilate him!
It turns out that too much time was wasted!
Thinking of this, the moment Chu Xiuyan jumped into the lake, the scarlet shadow immediately controlled the roots of the blood tree to cross the dream world and tightly wrapped around his ankles from the bottom of the lake. When he was forced to stop in place, he almost couldn't wait to speak:
"Let's talk, Yunyan."
What the scarlet shadow didn't expect was that the boy on the other side of the lake gave him the middle finger without hesitation, cursed, and then struggled to break free and continued to run towards the center of the lake.
Scarlet Shadow: "...So fierce."
Chu Xiuyan had just pulled off the blood tree roots stuck to the soles of his shoes, and before he could run a few steps towards the center of the lake, his ankles were tightly entangled by tree roots that rushed out from the bottom of the lake like a living thing.
His expression? was a little ugly, he stared at the projection at the bottom of the lake and looked back and forth, directly using the lake surface as? a mobile phone video call, pointing at the scarlet shadow opposite and saying? "If you have anything to say, fart quickly, I'm busy."
The scarlet shadow said: "You? You should have guessed who I am, right?"
Chu Xiuyan openly tried to tear the bloody branch off his calf while rolling his eyes and saying, "It's super-obvious."
The scarlet shadow spread his hands: "I can't help it. I'm not good at acting. By the way, since you know who I am, you should also understand my personality. I'm not the type to do bad things indiscriminately without reason. Everything I do has a reason. So, this is a request, Yunyan, even if you don't want to become [Blood Mist], you must not become any other god."
Chu Xiuyan paused, "Explain, I need an explanation. Answer me, what do you want to do?"
Crimson Shadow: "Save this broken world."
Chu Xiuyan laughed loudly, "I heard such a cold joke! You are [Blood Mist]. Don't tell me you don't know what kind of existence most gods in this world are. If you want to save the world, you should kill those evil gods with me!"
"... Yunyan, you? What you want to save is not the world, but humanity."
Chu Xiuyan remained unmoved, "So?"
The scarlet shadow said? "Only a world with all gods can be considered a true rebirth."
Chu Xiuyan: "Ridiculous, do you only have one way in your eyes? The guy who easily abandons all mankind is regarded as a villain in countless works. Hurry up and commit suicide, you degenerate bastard."
The scarlet shadow's voice could not help but speed up. "You? You think? I don't know? Is this path absurd? We have tried many paths, but over the years, no path has been successful! The moment the final disaster arrives, everyone will die? Only God can continue to live. And you? Stop pulling at the tree roots. If that thing breaks, it will hurt both of us."
Chu Xiuyan pulled the tree roots with even greater strength.
The scarlet shadow took a few deep breaths and said calmly, "Yun Yan, listen to me. I alone cannot increase the concentration of blood crystals in the world, but two [Blood Mists] can. As long as we work together, we can transform all the humans in the world into... "
"Wait, did you come up with this plan yourself?" Chu Xiuyan felt something was wrong the more he listened, so he interrupted him and said, "This kind of rubbish plan is not something that people like us can come up with. It was that bastard, right? He keeps going crazy and has all these paranoid ideas. I'll kill him next time I see him!"
The scarlet shadow was silent for a moment, then hesitated and asked, "Is there a possibility that this is something I came up with?"
"You are a chuunibyou, a delusional anti-world super villain. Please kill yourself and stop tarnishing our name."
Scarlet Shadow: "My name is Blood Mist, and what I said is the truth."
"So far, there are only a handful of humans who have truly become gods. Our Northwest Base has researched a way to become a demigod, but unfortunately the death rate is a bit high. The ruined city takes the route of psychics, but they avoid becoming gods and even say that gods should not exist. I don't know where this came from... Speaking of it, the current [time] is a pretty good one, but the consciousness is confused, and it can be considered a success. Oh, by the way, in fact, a long time ago, there was a god born from humans, but I don't know what went wrong. That guy's thinking is very extreme..."
Chu Xiuyan suddenly spoke? Interrupted, staring at the reflection on the lake without blinking, speaking faster and faster, "Xuewu, you? Is the battle over there over?"
Scarlet Shadow: "Yeah, don't worry, no one is dead, I'm keeping my hands off. By the way, that [Myth] is really powerful, you got a good card."
At this point, He sighed, "It's me who's been beaten and in such a mess. I'm almost losing consciousness and falling into a deep sleep again."
He intentionally magnified the view, clearly presenting the scene in the real world surrounded by a large group of familiar people at the bottom of the lake, including [Shen Hua] holding a golden stick and scratching his head outside the bloody fog, Wu Gaoyuan with a pale face farther away, Zhang Chun half-kneeling on the ground, and Zai Zhe with his eyes closed farther up in the sky.
The scarlet shadow said with deep meaning: "Yun Yan, get out of the lake. There are people waiting for you in the real world. Come back--"
Before he could finish his words, the ground suddenly shook violently, and a huge deep pit suddenly appeared. The scarlet shadow was caught off guard and almost fell into the pit before he could finish his words. Before he could react, a yellowish-brown shadow jumped out from the depths of the ground at lightning speed, and entangled the huge blood tree. The hard trunk once again made a sharp crackling sound.
The scarlet shadow blurted out: "No, again?! Why are you so concerned about my tree——"
Chu Xiuyan, who was broadcasting the situation of Blood Mist through the lake, instantly realized the origin of the earth dragon, "Oh, it's the uncle. Blood Mist, don't do it, you have to respect the old and love the young. From the outside, the uncle is older than you, so he is old, but from a macro perspective, the uncle is younger than you, so he is young - wait, you and I are of the same generation, so is my address to Zhang Chun a little wrong?"
The scarlet shadow climbed out of the pit and said through gritted teeth: "Shut up, you little brat who is only three months old."
Chu Xiuyan shrugged, then used force to break the blood tree root on his ankle.
Scarlet Shadow: "It hurts... Stop touching my tree!"
Chu Xiuyan rushed towards the central platform on the lake water.
However, this time, through the other side of the lake, the scarlet shadow seemed to see something unbelievable and froze in place.
He looked at the earth dragon entwined on his own origin tree. There were faint dirt debris falling off, and an abnormal red light was lit inside. A strange yet familiar breath was constantly coming.
"Something's wrong, Yunyan..."
He carefully sensed the breath of the earth dragon, and called out to Chu Xiuyan, who was at the other end of the lake, deep in his dream, with increasing anxiety.
"At the banquet, I was still thinking about you. Why did the man beside you call himself [Earth?]? At first, I just thought it was a coincidence. After all, there are many creatures who are qualified to become [Earth?]... But, this aura, Yunyan, there is a big problem."
Chu Xiuyan paused, "What?"
"You? You were deceived."
The scarlet shadow's consciousness gradually became confused, and his voice gradually became lower and lower, even sounding a little anxious. "No wonder there are remarks in the ruins that gods should not exist. No wonder there have been so many humans who have become gods in so many years. No wonder you landed in an area outside the northwest. No wonder my uncle often said that it seemed that someone was stopping him, causing the plan to be delayed?... No wonder, no wonder, when did it start... the thirteenth time? The third? Twelfth? Or fifty? More times?"
"Zhang Chun! [Da Di?]! This is a madman——Yun Yan! He has been using you? You? Don't believe him!!"
Chu Xiuyan: “…”
"You know, I already knew too much information not long ago. I was completely filled up. Now I have a basketball hanging around my neck that can't think." He said expressionlessly, "Humans' joys and sorrows are not in common. Basketball only feels your noise. Let basketball be quiet."
