Chapter 998 10. Hall of Valor
Ji Zhao left Tianzhu and stepped into the void heaven that he had opened up.
There is no sun or moon in the void realm. It is always bright, but it is confined to the round sky. Looking from the outside, it is a grey and hazy place that has not changed for hundreds of thousands of years. Ji Lingjun and Luo Su are both asleep. The huge void realm is as silent as a mountain range, and also like the bottom of an abyss. Suddenly, from outside the heaven, there is a brilliant light coming. A golden divine bridge as bright as the scorching sun is cut open from the void, and one end falls in front of the Hall of Heroes.
With new heroes constantly moving in over the past two thousand years, Valhalla has now turned into an endless group of palaces. The black and white buildings are like day and night blooming in it. The golden divine bridge descends, and the dazzling golden light shines on the wall. The glazed walls engraved with ancient legends and stories of sages have bloomed with unprecedented divine brilliance in countless moments. Rays of colorful divine light are shining, like colorful clouds, steaming into the void.
Ji Zhao traveled on the Golden Divine Bridge and landed in front of Valhalla. He was wearing a black robe, and on the robe was a golden phoenix with its wings spread high. There were blazing golden flames flowing in the phoenix's pupils, like magma, it did not seem to be embroidered on the robe, but seemed to be flowing and flapping on the robe.
Ji Zhao looked at this magnificent temple with nostalgia. The light of the golden bridge shone down, and the gate of Valhalla slowly opened. It seemed as if the air was cheering and welcoming Ji Zhao's return, trembling with excitement.
“Ancestor!”
Ji Lingjun and Luo Su fell behind Ji Zhao, one wearing a white golden phoenix robe, the other a red golden phoenix robe, with flowing gold and pearls adorning their bodies, and their rings and bracelets jingling. Both of them knelt on the ground, their voices full of surprise, deep admiration and slight tears.
It was like a child who had been wandering in the wilderness for a long time, finally meeting someone he could rely on. In this world, only Ji Zhao could make them feel this way.
Ji Zhao came back to his senses from his nostalgia. His pupils were black, and in the deepest part of them was a majestic gold. Even if he didn't turn around, he knew who it was. He turned around, his eyes slightly curved, and looked at the two little guys with a smile. He reached out and touched their heads, not majestically, and said in a gentle voice: "The ancestor is back. From now on, you will have someone to rely on. Get up quickly."
Ji Lingjun and Luo Su stood up, wiped their tears, opened their mouths to say something, but didn't know what to ask.
Ji Lingjun only felt that the ancestor who came back this time was warmer than before. The indifferent aura belonging to the gods that once appeared occasionally had completely disappeared. The ancestor at this moment was completely like a human being.
Thinking back to these, Ji Lingjun sobbed with tears in his eyes: "Grandfather, are you okay? Lingjun misses you so much."
Ji Zhao touched Ji Lingjun's little head again, then pointed at the shining Hall of Heroes and said with a smile: "Let's go in first, these children can't wait any longer."
Most of the people in this hall are children to Luo Su, and the same is true for Ji Lingjun. Both of them are people of great seniority in the Luo family. Even in the history of the Luo family, they are absolute ancestors. They both feel that the word "child" is appropriate.
The gate of Valhalla has been opened for the three people, and they walked into the hall.
There is a completely different scene in Valhalla.
Over the past two thousand years, there have been too many people here. The Luo family in the human world is already in its 83rd generation. Even if there are only a dozen men and women in each generation, there are still thousands of people.
Even the halls on earth that enshrine statues are magnificent, let alone Valhalla, which houses more than a thousand people?
Ji Zhao and the other two stood at the palace gate and looked inside. What came into view were figures on both sides. Almost every stone figure was emitting infinite light, and the fluctuations of life were resonating within them.
Each statue of the Luo family hero is several meters tall, more majestic, more magnificent, and more difficult to look directly at than the most majestic statues in the world.
What's more, all the statues are emitting misty light at this moment.
The floor of Valhalla is paved entirely with obsidian and other gemstones, and has a frosted texture. However, the roof of the hall cannot be easily seen through, as it is covered with golden mist, which makes it hazy and dreamy, like the difference between heaven and earth.
"The spirit of the Su Wang is in heaven, blessing our descendants with longevity and happiness!"
When Ji Zhao stepped one foot into Valhalla, he was the creator here. Even if his divine might and power were restrained, ripples still spread from under his feet to the entire hall.
Even though they have not yet awakened, even though they have not yet had true consciousness, the instinct hidden in the deepest part of their hearts still makes them sing the most ancient hymn.
From the ancient Bang Zhou Dynasty, starting from the Luo family's chanting of the Supreme Divine King Su, every hymn flows in the blood and in the soul.
Unconscious voices emanated from the statues, and they sang ancient hymns in unison, praising the supreme holiness of the ancestor Su Wang.
Outside Luo's house, the shouts of countless people could also be heard coming from the base of the statue.
Their voices are countless and they penetrate history, carrying the grandeur and greatness of millions of people, and coming with a torrent. Even if they are just singing, it is like thousands of troops galloping on the battlefield, bound to break through all obstacles and powerful enemies.
They were people of the same generation as the Luo family's descendants, all of whom had made great achievements. Although they did not have their own independent statues because they were not direct descendants of the Luo family, they also ascended to the heaven. After Ji Zhao woke up, they had the opportunity to escape the cycle of life and death and enjoy freedom.
Looking at the statues of the people in the hall, in the chanting and in the light, Luo Su asked expectantly: "Ancestor, have all the people in the Hall of Heroes awakened?"
Among so many members of the Luo clan, only Luo Su and Ji Lingjun have awakened. One of them is the first son and the other is the first daughter of destiny of the Luo clan. Moreover, both of them are special, so they got the opportunity to awaken. Now Luo Su hopes to see more members of the clan awaken.
Ji Zhao nodded first, and then said: "Awakening is inevitable, especially for outstanding children like Xuan Gong Acheng, Zhao Sheng Wang Aling, and Luo Wen Wang Axin, they will definitely be the first to wake up.
It just takes some time to wake up. Ah Su, you have experienced the complete awakening process before, so you should be very clear about this. But now with my help, the awakening process will be greatly shortened, but they will still wake up part by part. "
Luo Su and Ji Ling were both delighted to hear this, as long as they were confirmed to wake up, that would be good, they would eventually have the day to meet their old friends and relatives.
Then Ji Zhao asked, "A Su, Ling Jun.
You all already know what is happening in the human world today, and now the Luo family members in Valhalla will also wake up.
You are all the smartest people in the Luo clan. What do you think should be done with those clan members who have passed away in the human world in the future? What should the clan do with the current situation in the human world?"
Luo Su and Ji Ling looked at each other, and then Luo Su spoke: "Ancestor, the family has been through a lot in the past two thousand years. We were bound by many constraints before, and we had no choice. Now that there are no restrictions, I think whether it is for the needs of family inheritance, or for the development of the world and the wishes of the people, it is time for the family to reach the top."
Luo's rise to the top was what everyone expected.
Luo Su argued from political and many other aspects that now is the best time for Luo's family to reach the top.
This is not an imperial dynasty, and the Luo family has never existed in the current regime, so there are no moral issues such as who to be loyal to.
Theoretically, we are living in a democratic era now, and Naropa's ascension to the throne is exactly what the people want, and is the most upright and noble path.
It can be said that this is the best era for the Luo family. There will never be a better era than this.
Ji Lingjun added on the sacred aspect, "If the family wants to ascend to the throne, then it must demonstrate miracles. Then we must determine the future of this world and how to proceed. This is something that only you, the ancestor, can consider."
Ji Zhao was deep in thought, Luo Su whispered: "Old Ancestor, you are worried that the technological development in the human world is in full swing now. It would be a pity to interrupt the development of theocracy like this?"
Either way, Luo Su is Ji Zhao’s favorite child and always knows what Ji Zhao is thinking.
There is a lazy side in human nature. If people know that there is an omnipotent god, their initiative and motivation will definitely decrease significantly, and many things will become meaningless.
But Ji Zhao was also very clear that in the end, technological development would definitely touch upon the gods, because he, the god, existed objectively, unless he used intelligent particles to lock the upper limit of development like the Trisolarans in The Three-Body Problem, but that was really unnecessary.
After a moment of silence, Luo Su said, "Ancestor, we can appear in the wider society in a seemingly plausible way. Our family has been doing this for the past two thousand years. We always tell everyone to rely on their own human strength, but occasionally we also show our power as gods as a deterrent.
This strategy has been very correct over the past countless years. I don't think there is any need to change it now. We in the Luo family will not deliberately publicize your endless greatness, but we will not deliberately cover it up. If they know about it, let them be in awe. As the saying goes, there is a god above your head, and it is enough for people to be in awe. "
Ji Zhao nodded in approval. At the moment, this was the best solution.
His eyes swept over all the people in Valhalla. If a theocratic society were to be established, then these people would now become true gods.
"A spirit?"
Ji Zhao seemed to be thinking about something. He seemed to know where Luo’s people should go.

In ancient times, a powerful person said that on the third day of the Nine Heavens, there was a sacred Hall of Heroes. Those who had merits in the human world but were not deified would all ascend to the third day and become heroes. Some would live in the hall for a long time, some would descend to the human world to work hard, some would live in hell to intimidate the evil, some would become kings and princes in life, and some would become heroes after death, which was the honor of all the Chinese. - "Xuanmen Nine Heavens Sutra"
