Volume 3, Chapter 132: Please give me some advice.
Upside down sky.
The scorching sun shines down, making the golden statue even more dazzling.
Everyone stopped in front of the Heavenly Gate, staring at Ye Tingmu's back, watching him walk forward step by step. The throne was right before their eyes.
Their hearts are like a ball hanging high in the sky, and even the slightest breeze can cause it to sway restlessly.
Their king, their brother, their relative, the leader of the long river, will finally ascend to the top of the universe and sit on the throne of the immortal king under their witness.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the blood began to boil unconsciously.
Ye Tingmu finally crossed the square full of knight statues and came to the platform.
Just as he was about to take a step forward and step onto the stone steps in front of him, a ray of light fell from the sky and crashed down, blocking Ye Tingmu's way without any warning.
The throne of the Immortal King was divided at the other end.
The sudden change made everyone look nervous.
Ye Tingmu couldn't help but frown.
It was already within reach, but an invisible force appeared and blocked it.
He knew in his heart that this power no longer came from the creatures of the universe, but came from the heavens.
The surviving members of the Heavenly Guards behind him looked ahead at this moment, with piety and panic in their eyes.
"The statues of the heavens came alive, the heavens came alive."
"Greetings to the Heavens..."
Many people even knelt down.
The expressions of everyone in Changhe became nervous at this moment, but the four immortals remained relatively calm. It was obvious that this scene was not the first time they had seen it.
That's right, the gods came to life. When Ye Tingmu looked up, he saw that among the ten golden statues, the three-headed, six-armed golden statue that had fought with him before, which was also the tenth god, moved at this moment.
Its golden head looked down at him, and its body emitted bursts of light, which continued to spread out in circles.
And in its chest, from its golden vertical eye, a golden beam of light shot up into the sky, and then was refracted down from something above the sky, blocking him in front of him.
It also blocks the way to the Immortal Throne.
In eternity, the immortal king needs the approval of the heavens before sitting on the throne.
It requires you to swear allegiance to the Ten Gods here, in front of the stone steps, so that you can obtain immortality and receive the blessings of the gods.
The scene before them was a necessary process. The people of Changhe had never seen it, nor had the Heavenly Guards, but this was not the first time the four immortals had seen it.
Ye Tingmu looked at the statue of the gods with an indifferent expression, his face as calm as the water in a deep pool.
At this moment, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the statue of the heavens spoke. Its ancient and vicissitudes of life voice was like a gust of fierce wind, sweeping from the statue to the front, buzzing and echoing.
"Ye Tingmu, why don't you kneel when you see the heavens?"
Along with this deafening question, there came a pressure that did not belong to any creature.
That is the pressure from the heavens.
At this moment, everyone present was swept up by this pressure, struggling to hold on.
Ye Tingmu was at the front and endured it even more strongly than others.
The pressure was like an invisible hand, pressing down on him from top to bottom. Under his feet, the stone slabs broke apart inch by inch, and cracks appeared.
He felt that all the bones in his body were compressed at this moment, and he had to grit his teeth and drive the force of the law to counteract in order to achieve balance.
As expected, the power of the heavens cannot be withstood by an immortal, but he also knows that what the heavens can bring down is only the power of heaven. His original body is restricted by the order of the true spirit and cannot descend into eternity, otherwise he would not have found an immortal king to be his spokesperson.
With cold eyes, he asked in a cold voice, "Who are you? Why should I kneel?"
As soon as these words were spoken, it seemed as if a thousand waves were stirred up here, and the entire inverted ceiling fell into a brief silence.
The guards of the heavens were paralyzed, and the four immortals were stunned. They had never imagined that someone would dare to question the heavens and confront the Lord of All Things. This was simply crazy.
But he did it. They were terrified and dared not look up. They knew that the heavens would definitely punish them.
However, after a brief silence, the heavens did not punish him.
Instead, he laughed heartily and said, "Hahaha, you are quite interesting. Ye Tingmu, I can give you a chance. If you swear allegiance to me and serve the True Spirit, I can promise you the title of Immortal King, and the sin of destroying the Changhe River can be forgiven."
The words stopped here, and the Tenth Avalokitesvara's voice became more sinister, and continued: "However, I want you to personally wipe out the three souls and six spirits of Changhe Panling's reincarnation. Nine lives in exchange for the lives of all the people in Changhe. It's your choice."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people watching the chess game subconsciously clenched their fists. They knew in their hearts that the three souls and six spirits were referring to them.
Ye Tingmu also clenched his fist tightly. The meridians of the hand holding the Zhatian Sword emerged, and his three souls and six spirits were reincarnated. That was the person closest to him.
It's a joke to me that the other person can ask this question.
His eyes grew colder, "I want my family, I want to protect the Changhe River, but it's still the same question, who do you think you are to let me choose you?"
"Why do you guarantee it?"
"With the sword in my hand."
The four-foot golden sword was sharp and the atmosphere became depressing again.
Upon hearing this, Feng He and the others also burst into fighting spirit in their eyes. They were never surprised by their brother's choice. Even if the whole world abandoned them, his brother would not let them go.
To them, brother is the whole world, and to brother, they are also his whole world.
The Eternals didn't know what to say at this moment. They originally thought that Ye Tingmu would definitely swear allegiance like the immortals of all generations, and then embark on the path of immortality.
But a sudden change occurred, and it looked like a fight was about to begin.
One admires their bravery, but one does not approve of such recklessness. After countless epochs of being enslaved by the heavens, an indelible slave nature has been planted in their blood. Deep down, they will not resist the heavens but will only obey.
Therefore, they did not understand Ye Tingmu's behavior and could not resonate with it.
The Tenth Heaven looked at Ye Tingmu and asked again.
"You speak so arrogantly. The True Spirit created the world, and the Heavens protect it. You are so disrespectful to the Way of Heaven. Do you understand the nature of this sin? If you refuse to submit and defy the Heavens, you will die. The Changhe River will perish because of you, and you will all be buried in the Upside-Down Heaven. Countless lives will be annihilated because of you. Do you think clearly?"
Ye Tingmu laughed, and laughed crazily.
“Haha!” “Hahaha!” “Hahahahaha!”
"Why are you laughing?"
Ye Tingmu frowned, looked up at the sky, and his laughter stopped abruptly.
"Now I come here with five questions in my mind to ask the heavens. Can the heavens answer them?"
"One question: What was the fault of the Changhe River hundreds of millions of years ago?"
"Second question, what is Changge guilty of when blood was spilled all over the heavens?"
"Third question, what is the crime of dying in battle and being trapped in the battle?"
"Fourth question: wandering through the ages, what is the fault of the people who have left?"
"Question 5: Heaven and earth are unkind, what is the fault of the common people?"
After asking five questions in a row, the heavens shook. Ye Tingmu swung his sword, looking down on the heavens.
"Now, in the name of the new Lord of the Changhe River, I ask the heavens for guidance."
