Chapter 682 When Evil is Clothed in Love
After much persuasion, several people succeeded in getting Wen Yang to stop thinking about suicide.
"Wen Yang." Yu Cang asked, "Why did you call me here?"
It can't be that they really want to capture three card banners to protect the country.
It is indeed necessary to capture the combat capabilities of the national defense level, but at this time, these three national defenses who have long had ulterior motives can play a greater role under Wen Yang's operation.
Therefore, Wen Yang must have other things to do... taking these three guardians of the country with him was just a convenience.
"Um."
Wen Yang nodded.
He first glanced at Di Changan beside him, then turned to Yu Cang and said seriously:
"I have completely investigated the conspiracy of the Desolate Sect... and what Yu Wanqing is planning to do!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people present changed slightly.
Although the association has now decided to eliminate the True Dragon's Death Zone and wipe out the Desolate Sect, they still know very little about some of the sect's arrangements.
In this situation, Di Changan was already prepared for the possibility of not being able to completely wipe out the enemy in one go.
Although it would be a better choice to wait until the matter is fully investigated before taking action, but as both the God of Wilderness and the Supreme Bishop are seriously injured, and the main force of the sect is still in the Netherworld Heaven, now is the best time to wipe them out!
Di Chang'an's original purpose was just to buy time for Yu Cang to grow.
But if more information were known, perhaps the association could do more.
At this time, Wen Yang looked at Yu Cang and continued, "And... Yu Cang, I already know the whereabouts of your parents!"
“…”
Yu Cang was silent for a moment.
"Tell me about it."
"Well... first of all, it's what the sect is doing."
Wen Yang paused for a moment, as if he was organizing his words.
"Yu Cang, you should know the connection between the Ancestral Dragon Emperor and the Desolate Heaven Realm, right?"
"I know a little."
"I've obtained more detailed records from within the sect," Wen Yang said. "Back then, the long-lost Desolate Heaven Realm, under the control of the Desolate God, collided with the Blue Star World. Yan Country was the intersection of the two worlds...
"The spatial channel connecting the two sides replaced the original sky of Yan Nation. At that time, looking up, you could see another world. Countless wild beasts flew down from the sky and fought wantonly on the land of Yan Nation. Fortunately, after the Saint Master, the Ancestral Dragon Emperor appeared."
Wen Yang took a deep breath, and when he mentioned this, his tone couldn't help but carry a hint of shock and admiration.
"The Ancestral Dragon Emperor, with his immense strength, dragged the Desolate Heaven down from the sky and buried it beneath the earth... Today, the place where true dragons die is the graveyard of the Desolate Heaven! The dragon throne beneath the Ancestral Dragon Emperor is the tombstone of the Desolate Heaven!
"During this process, the Netherworld Heaven Realm was infinitely compressed and folded, causing some of the space on its edges to shatter and fly across Yan Country, forming the space debris tunnels that are now ubiquitous!"
After hearing Wen Yang's description, everyone was speechless for a moment.
Yu Cang was secretly shocked.
Directly pull down a world?
Is this something that mythology can do?
Although the myth has the power to explode a star, it cannot actually crush the blue planet - various secret realms are embedded in the interior and surface of the blue planet like raisins in jelly, including many mythical secret realms, which greatly enhance the stability of the blue planet.
The endless mythical secret realm that exists in the asthenosphere alone makes a star explosion a mere luxury.
And there is undoubtedly something similar in the Desolate Heaven Realm... Could it be that because it has fallen, most of the mythical secret realms have disappeared?
But even so, it's a bit shocking to do such a thing.
However, this does explain why these space fragments now look like this.
The earth must have been torn apart at that time, turning into the floating island we see today.
While everyone was secretly amazed, Wen Yang continued:
"However, the Ancestral Dragon Emperor's power has its limits, so he can only suppress the main body of the Nether Desolate Heaven Realm. He is powerless against the scattered fragments... I wonder if you have heard the rumor that the Ancestral Dragon Emperor created the True Dragon Deathland in pursuit of immortality."
Yu Cang nodded: "I've heard of that... Could it be that Emperor Zulong wants to be immortal just to prevent the Desolate Heaven Realm from re-emerging from the sky a thousand years from now?"
If this is true, then this emperor's vision and magnanimity are unparalleled in history.
Sitting on the dragon throne in a half-dead state must be quite unbearable even for a myth.
However, Wen Yang shook his head: "That's not the case... No, no one can know what the Zulong Emperor really thinks. We can only say that it is probably not the case.
"From the information I've read, Emperor Zulong's ambitions are far greater than the great deeds he has accomplished! ... Yu Cang, I heard that Emperor Zulong's 'Immortality Elixir' was brought out of the True Dragon Death Zone by your parents... Is that correct?"
"That's right." Yu Cang had no intention of hiding it. "It's on my body—but, in this world today, I'm afraid no creature can make use of this immortality elixir, not even the Ancestral Dragon Emperor."
"Yes, so Emperor Zulong gave up this medicine... and found a better and more perfect elixir of immortality!"
"More perfect..." Yu Cang raised his brows slightly.
He had already heard this news from Sachan in the Changsheng Tent.
He was very confused at the time. If it was about a more suitable medicine, he could understand, but what could be better or more perfect than the vitality of creation?
This is probably just the nonsense of ignorant people.
But now, when he heard this information, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to his mind.
He suddenly thought of something...
Back then, Changsheng wanted to surpass the myth, but the result was doomed to failure.
This is not only because of the distortion of the celestial body, but also because of one thing - not enough energy!
To ignite an energy beyond myth, one would need a star that was equal to or even surpassed that of a single world! To absorb such a massive amount of energy, one would have to devour almost half the energy and matter of the Blue Planet and its sun!
Changsheng's way of gathering energy is to ignite the Changsheng Tent above the earth, turning it into the sun and continuously devouring the surroundings.
But before he could complete all this, he was assassinated by Lingsui and Boxun.
And...energy can not only be plundered from the Blue Star.
Isn’t there a ready-made world right in front of us?
Yu Cang suddenly looked at Wen Yang: "So, the immortality elixir that Emperor Zulong has just found... is the entire 'Desolate Heaven'?"
Wen Yang nodded slowly.
"That's right."
The method that Emperor Zulong finally chose to achieve immortality was to transcend mythology!
The dark and desolate heaven that he dragged underground is his elixir of immortality. He wants to sacrifice the entire world to make up for the huge amount of energy needed to surpass the myth!
So that's how it is... No wonder, no wonder!
The vitality of creation is what remains after Chao Ci created all life, and can be said to be a part of the world. If it is the entirety of another complete world, then it can naturally be compared to the vitality of creation.
Even if this world has already fallen under the erosion of the wilderness.
Perhaps, the ambition of Emperor Zulong has been hanging high in the sky from the beginning to the end. He fell from the sky not for the people, but to reach the highest realm... or in other words, saving the people was just a matter of convenience.
However, it now seems that it no longer matters which of these three great achievements, immortality, transcending mythology, and saving the world, is the cause and which is the result.
In any case, Emperor Zulong has sat on the dragon throne for nearly three thousand years, and he deserves any kind of praise.
but……
A thought flashed across Yu Cang's eyes.
Since Emperor Zulong is still in this state, it means that refining a world is not as easy as imagined.
The Youhuang Heaven Realm is rebelling against Emperor Zulong!
And, if the Desolate Sect's goal is to release the Netherworld Heaven, then it is equivalent to snatching the elixir of immortality, and it is bound to become the enemy of the Zulong Emperor, so...
Wen Yang continued at this time: "Yu Cang, I believe you should have guessed the purpose of the Desolate Sect - it is to infect the Zulong Emperor into a desolate person, so as to control him with secret methods, and then release the Desolate Heaven Realm, so that the terrifying sky of three thousand years ago will come again!
"If the Ancestral Dragon Emperor were still alive, this would undoubtedly be a fantasy. However, his current state of being half-dead... is no different from a desolate beast. As long as we find a way, we can take advantage of it. Therefore, for many years, the Desolate Sect has been trying to find a way to create desolate people...
"It's difficult. Almost everyone has no idea. But one person found a way."
Yu Cang's expression changed: "Mrs. Yu?"
"No." Wen Yang shook his head. "The first person to find this method... was her husband, Chang Weimin!"
Yu Cang: "..."
"In fact, five years ago, when your parents entered the True Dragon's Death Zone, the sect was already using Chang Weimin's method to infect the Ancestral Dragon Emperor... but they didn't succeed. Or rather, the sect didn't know whether Chang Weimin had succeeded or not."
Wen Yang's expression was solemn: "Chang Weimin used his own body to conduct the final experiment of turning into a barbarian. When it succeeded, he was already unconscious... Madam Yu took over the results of this experiment and presided over the infection of Emperor Zulong.
"But she said that the Ancestral Dragon Emperor's mythology was flawed—his fully connected 'Candle Dragon' was missing a part, which could lead to failure. That's why the sect came up with the plan to return Tong Zhonghuo to its original position... This plan almost exposed the sect at that time!
"Later, Madam Yu suddenly pointed out that Chang Weimin's research was incomplete and that she couldn't fully infect the Ancestral Dragon Emperor. She needed to wait another five years... By that time, the sect had already suspected Madam Yu of being a traitor... However, there was no evidence, and Madam Yu possessed all the research data on the transformation of the barbarians, so no one could touch her."
Hearing this, Yu Cang frowned.
"Are you saying... that five years ago, it was that Madam Yu who stopped the sect's plan?"
"...Indeed." Wen Yang sighed. "In fact...the infection five years ago was successful. All that was left was the return of the Tongzhonghuo, and the Zulong Emperor would have become a barbarian. However...Yu Wanqing didn't complete the last step...The sect didn't blame him much afterwards. After all, the Tongzhonghuo project they were responsible for did fail."
Yu Cang clenched his fist quietly.
Five years ago... at that time, the association was completely unprepared for the Desolate Sect. If the Desolate Heaven Realm suddenly appeared in the world, it would definitely cause an extremely exaggerated number of casualties.
From this perspective, Mrs. Yu is not a bad person, but... can be called a savior.
But... Yu Cang found it hard to accept.
You know, what this woman caused was not only sacrifice for justice, but more importantly, the deaths of countless innocent people!
"Why? What's the motive?" He didn't understand. "Why would she do these things? She committed that kind of killing...what motive would she have to stop the Cult of the Desolate?"
"motivation……"
Wen Yang slowly closed his eyes and then said slowly,
"It's... love."
“…”
"I know it might be hard for you to believe." Wen Yang sighed, "But...let me explain."
Hearing this, Yu Cang gave Gu Jieshuang a look.
Gu Jieshuang immediately understood and wanted to take Qi'er away, but Qi'er held Yu Cang's hand tightly and refused to let go.
Yu Cang rubbed the girl's head: "...Qi'er, be good. Go play with your sister for a while, okay?"
"No." The girl bit her lip, but her eyes were full of determination, "I want to listen."
Yu Cang squatted down and wanted to say something to Qi'er, but he was stunned after seeing her eyes. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
...Perhaps, he has no right to stop Qi'er from seeking the truth.
No matter what, Yu Wanqing is still her mother...her biological mother.
Well... after going through so much, Qi'er is no longer the girl who has no ability to bear it. Perhaps, he should believe in her strength.
After a long time, he could only succumb to the girl's gaze, sighed, and stood up.
"Go on."
Wen Yang nodded, and then said, "Yu Wanqing loves her husband very much. For him, she is even willing to risk her own life to enter the Undead Village and get the knowledge her husband needs from that terrifying myth... She loves her husband, and loves him at all costs.
"But, in her husband's heart, Huang's 'career' is probably more important... Perhaps, if Chang Weimin was an ordinary person, Yu Wanqing would have lived a mediocre life, but unfortunately... he is a cultist.
Yu Wanqing unconditionally supports all of Chang Weimin's endeavors. So, when he attempts to develop the power to infect everything, she gives her all without hesitation. However... evil is evil, and the mere fact of love won't diminish its bloodiness.
Bloodshed is always accompanied by sacrifice, and in the end, the one chosen by Chang Weimin to sacrifice was himself. He used his own body as a test subject, embracing the wilderness without reservation, becoming the world's first true 'wilderness man.' He was proud of this.
"And before that, countless sacrifices had already been made. Some of those sacrifices were borne by innocent people, while others... they had to bear them themselves. Chang Weimin turned a blind eye to the pain brought about by these sacrifices, so they could only be borne by Yu Wanqing alone.
"She became pregnant three times. The first pregnancy ended in stillbirth, the second with twins, but the older brother was born with intellectual disability, and the younger brother suddenly went insane at the age of seven or eight and died in his hospital bed. The cause of all this was prolonged exposure to high concentrations of infectious waste!
"Chang Weimin doesn't even care about himself, so how could he care about the child? Or rather, even the child is just a sample in his eyes! So Yu Wanqing... could only suppress her pain and turn all their corpses into banned cards, in an attempt to retain her love.
"Finally, when Chang Weimin was completely infected by Huang, he and Madam Yu had their last child. This time, Madam Yu's card-banning technique finally reached its peak after a painful pregnancy. She combined Chang Weimin's achievements, her own research, and the knowledge of the Lord of the Undead Village. From this, an exceptionally brilliant flower was born.
"Through this, she successfully gave birth to the child who was originally doomed to die. Miraculously, that child survived and was given the right to grow up. She is..."
Wen Yang suddenly stopped.
At the side, a childish voice suddenly sounded.
"That's me...right?"
The girl lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
She held Yu Cang's hand tightly.
