Chapter 631: Fire Shooting to the Sky

In the darkness, smoke and dust filled the room with a strange fragrance, which calmed people and eliminated many of their anxieties and fears.

Zhu Zhi asked Shalipa, "Is there something strange about this smoke? If we destroy the smoke or disperse it, will it be helpful?"

Now he has tried his best to save his life. Among the people here, it seems that only this old man who coughs up blood has knowledge of the old god rituals.

"I don't know." Shalipa just narrowed his eyes: "I don't understand spices."

"It's the [Seaweed] that is a specialty of Zhou Island, as well as the leaves of the barnyard grass monster, and some dried fragrant fruits from Yao Country."

Hua Wanrong sniffed and said confidently, "I deal in flowers all year round, and I also deal in some dry goods trading. The fragrance here mainly comes from these three spices, and there is also something of a magical potion."

"It has a clear calming effect. It seems that they don't want us to resist too strongly."

The husband, Shang Sheng, also joined the discussion: "Everyone, we passed through a forest yesterday or this evening, and suddenly lost consciousness. We must have been ambushed there."

"It seems like this was premeditated. If these fanatics of the old god found us, it should be because we are more suitable for the sacrifice of the old god? Mr. Shalipa, can you tell us about the [Avatar of Extinction]? Maybe it can help us get more information. On the battlefield, intelligence determines victory or defeat."

The old man turned his head, spat out a mouthful of blood to the side, and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

Shalipa then said, "I studied theology and am a member of the Old God Society, so I know a little about the Old Gods."

"As far as I know, this [Incarnation of Extinction] was a god who fought against the [Black Tiger Head and Lord of the Temple] followed by the Temple, the [Salt Lady] worshipped by the Green Forest, the [Dragon Ancestor] in the Four Seas Temple, the [Messenger of the Gods], the head of the gods of the Twin Snake Merchant Republic, and the [Golden Light Mother] of the Brotherhood in ancient times."

"The [Extinction Incarnation] possesses the power of darkness, destruction, and rebirth. After the God War, its faith has been passed down to this day. Because it has a very strange ability, believers only need to pray and sacrifice in the darkness to have a chance to gain the power of resurrection. Few people can resist this temptation... Everyone will face death, and the Extinction Incarnation will give them a chance to recover from the darkness."

“So even some people of other faiths will secretly worship this god of destruction. As long as everyone wants to continue their lives, the memory of this old god will not disappear.”

Sharipa squinted his eyes hard, as if trying to drive away sleepiness.

"I'll give you a little refreshing massage."

Hua Wanrong, who was standing beside him, pinched his neck and the sides of his eyes, and then showed a somewhat surprised expression: "Your body...how come you are so weak?"

"Hey, this is what it's like to get old."

The monk waved his hand and said, "This [Extinction Incarnation] is related to darkness. In the past, Yaocheng and Yancheng also encountered monsters in the darkness when they were attacked by the Dark Sun. According to the internal reference compiled by Mr. Jianxin of the Old God Society, this old god is recorded in it."

"According to the witnesses who participated in the sacrificial ceremony, it is necessary to chant the name of this old god, 'Kali', and devoutly recite the entire sacrificial words 'Bhuvanidov, Sati, Rudani, Parvati, Chinamatika...' These are all the identities and names of the [Extinct Avatar]. The entire ceremony is to chant His name continuously."

"The ritual needs to be set up in a dark house or cave like this. The believers outside will surround us, the offerings, and chant the name of the old gods. The power of the old gods will spread through the darkness and smoke, awakening the monsters sleeping in the darkness... Look, they are coming."

Sharipa looked relaxed.

Zhu Zhi and others couldn't laugh at all.

Some strange things appeared in the darkness. They were made of smoke and dust, and their shapes were erratic, making it difficult to identify their specific shapes. But there was no doubt that they were indeed wandering around, like a pack of wolves hiding in the darkness.

Zhu Zhi noticed that there was a person gathered in the center of the black smoke.

The man was dressed in gray, as if his body was entangled or blurred by fog, but from the outline, it could be seen that he was a burly figure.

The other person was holding a lantern, his face was gray, and he looked a bit like a zombie.

There was a strange pattern tattooed on the left side of his face, consisting of two circles, one inside and one outside. Circles, squares and triangles were drawn inside the inner circle, and straight lines connected them, like some kind of obscure totem or seal.

As soon as the lantern-bearing man appeared, he set his sights on Sharipa: "You have divinity... No, is it a divine body? Not really, that's weird."

"Hello, guest from the darkness."

The old man didn't care at all: "We are trapped here, could you please save us and get us out of here?"

The lantern man laughed out loud, his whole face distorted.

"What an interesting mortal! If I move your corpses and stack them up, they will be very bright if I light a lamp on them."

Shalipa was not discouraged: "Thank you for your compliment. What can I do to get your help?"

"Forget about it. You can't give me what I want. I can take anything." The other party said arrogantly: "No matter how far you can go, it's just the realm of mortals."

The old man's eyes suddenly lit up: "You know something, right? You know about these changes that have taken place in my body, right?"

"certainly."

The lantern man's face returned to its previous coldness: "Mortals are mortals after all."

"Are you a god?"

"I am not a god, although many people call me that and think I am a god. But I am not."

"I see. There is one thing I cannot agree with. Although I am a mortal, the mortal realm can reach a very far place, much farther than we thought in the past."

A smile appeared on the old Shalipa's face: "Just like you see my physical changes."

The lantern man seemed to have thought of something: "No, this is not a transformation by the gods, and you are not from the family... What on earth is this... What is going on with you?"

Zhu Zhi was a little surprised.

For the first time, the murderer in the darkness showed doubts and even sought answers.

"Do you want to know?"

The old man smiled and said, "I will tell you everything. I only ask you to send them back to Yao Country safely..."

"You are not qualified to talk to me."

The lantern bearer raised the lantern in his hand coldly, and the green fire in the lantern was gloomy: "As long as I want, I can turn you into a corpse at any time and use you as the lamp oil in my hand."

"Yes, of course you have the power and authority."

Sharipa stood up slowly, shook off the dust on his body, raised his head slightly, and looked at the tall figure surrounded by dark monsters: "But there is one thing you should also know, I have the power of God."

"It comes from a powerful god. The power of the god is so overwhelming that even if I only extract a little bit of it, my life will not be able to bear its weight. But whether I live or die, the power of the god will not disappear."

"Once I die, I will condense the Omnipotent Stone, thereby stimulating the little power left by the gods, and probably releasing a small spark here."

The monk covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed so violently that his back arched.

"You are not a god, so you don't have to worry about being watched by Lord Yao, but if I release the divine spark, I don't know if Lord Yao will see it."

“…”

The other party was silent.

Zhu Zhi thought of the story that even if the senior monks in the abyss left the Second Hall, their bodies would be able to condense the Almighty Stone after death. And the remaining power of the gods that Shalipa mentioned could devour the Almighty Stone and produce a strong reaction instantly.

As long as we can attract the attention of God Yao, all existences here will tremble and fear!

No one can resist the might of Lord Yaoshen! Sharipa subdued the other party.

Zhu Zhi felt excited.

This old man is pretty amazing, knowledge really is power!

The lantern bearer was silent for a moment: "Are you betting that I dare not do anything?"

"No, I just wanted to discuss this area of ​​theology with you. This is just a hypothetical experiment."

"What you're saying won't happen."

The lantern bearer said, "Because what you have is only the last bit of divine power left in the divine body. As long as there is no godhood, these will continue to decay and dissipate. The omnipotent stone is a low-level material and power. When acting on divine power, it can only show the material side. So according to your method, you can only forge the omnipotent stone."

Sharipa nodded, "Your judgment makes sense. Divine power usually comes in the form of miracles, and it will leave traces as long as it appears. Even we can perceive these traces through [Theology], so as long as these traces exist, Lord Yaoshen can also see them. I think the divine power in me should be enough to leave traces."

"Ridiculous! The gods cannot see these remnants of divine power unless they hold specific items or wonders."

"How do you know if you don't try?"

The lantern bearer sneered, "You know more about gods than I do? I used to be a god!"

"Is that so? So you are an old god."

"Not the old god. I told you I'm not a god. I'm a demon now. This name originally belonged to us, but it's a bit overused now. Anyone can use it. Times have really changed."

"What should I call you then? Mr. Devil?"

"...Bifrons, I allow you to call me by that name."

"Mr. Bifrons Demon, since you are a god, why don't you know my condition?"

"How should I know! Even the gods don't know everything!"

The monk immediately laughed: "Then let me tell you, I participated in the dissection of the god's corpse, and used the god's corpse as raw material for elemental experiments. Through a large number of high-intensity experiments, the power of the corpse was stimulated and activated in me, which led to my current situation."

The other person's face suddenly froze: "You are looking for death! Looking for death! The divine body is not a field you can touch."

"This is an attempt that Lord Yao God allowed us to make. What remains of the fallen gods are only their powerful corpses. We are merely studying the composition of the gods' bodies."

The demon Bifrons was speechless, while the others listened in shock.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Zhu Zhi suddenly felt relieved.

No wonder I feel there's something inexplicably weird about this old man.

He even dared to mess with the corpses of gods, so what was happening now was indeed a small matter for him.

"madman."

Beverons cursed.

"There is one more thing you said that is wrong."

Sharipa wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief: "In fact, I don't need the omnipotent stone at all. I can create traces of gods. Because I have the fire of faith in Lord Yao in my body, and this fire of faith is repelled by the divine power in my flesh and blood."

"According to our tests, the fire of faith is incompatible with alien gods and will cause instant destruction. This destruction will leave traces of damage, which looks like a miracle. Lord Tyrant has proven this, and gods can see it."

"If I die, I can trigger a simulated miracle here. I wonder if it can attract the attention of Lord Yao or other gods."

"Are you threatening me?" Bifrons raised his voice.

"No, Mr. Devil. I am about to die. My mind is exceptionally clear right now. This is a terminal lucidity. I have seen many such cases."

Shalipa coughed up blood and said, "I am just describing an objective law and perfecting a hypothetical experiment."

“…”

The monk looked at Zhu Zhi, his weak face full of apology: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhu Zhi. I originally wanted to use the quick-acting heart-saving pills to hold on until I returned to my hometown in the abyss and then died... Now it seems that I can't do it. The speed at which death is catching up with me is much faster than I thought, and this time the error is very large."

Zhu Zhi felt mixed emotions.

The demon Bifrons just said something unlucky.

He was about to walk back into the fog.

"Please wait a moment."

This time it was Zhu Zhi who mustered up the courage to shout out.

The cold gaze of the lantern man made the bamboo man feel cold all over.

He still said stubbornly: "Mr. Bifrons, I have a solution that will satisfy both parties."

"If you can take the lives and bodies of those people outside, you can also take Mr. Shalipa's body after his death - please allow me to agree. Because you are not a heretic god, but you generously helped the people of Lord Yaoshen. You should know that Lord Yaoshen has always been clear about gratitude and resentment."

The lantern bearer showed a look of idiocy on his face: "You think I don't want to? You think I want to offend a powerful local god?"

"I can't get out either."

“…”

This sentence left everyone silent.

Zhu Zhineng felt that everyone's eyes on Bifrons were a little subtle.

This seemed to anger the demon in the dark: "None of your corpses can escape, I will light them one by one!"

Everyone was timid, but they didn't seem to be very scared.

"Why is this happening?" Shalipa asked in confusion, "Is this ritual enough to control you?"

"How is that possible? That's because of the darkness of Kali, the [Avatar of Extinction]... In short, it's a very complicated reason, involving the seal and the ancient prayers, which led to the appearance of my clone. It's not as simple as it seems."

The demon didn't want to explain further.

“Then can I understand that as long as the darkness is broken, or the ritual here is broken, you can be free?” said Shalipa.

"At least that's the case for this projection of mine. Normally, I would be summoned, and after I turn you into corpses and light lamps, Kali's power would descend, and He would kill the current me."

"I see. Then I will light up this place, and you should be able to break free from the rules and rituals, right?"

"You want to..." Bifrons said solemnly: "Are you sure?"

"Since you are about to die, why not choose a way to help everyone? Please take them to a safe place, please."

The monk chuckled and looked at Zhu Zhi again: "Mr. Zhu Zhi, please record my current situation and see if the Omnipotent Stone has any effect on the divine power... Let me think, according to the definition and concept of elementalism, since it originates from God but lacks the stability and continuity of Godhead, I will call it [Shen]."

"Please convey everything you saw and heard today to Lord Philles of White Castle. I hope it can serve as a small reference for those who come after you."

Zhu Zhi suddenly thought of a solution: "Wait a minute. There is another way. Doesn't the priest of [Extinction Incarnation] have the ability to give people a chance to come back to life? Why don't you try to pray to him for power!"

"Thank you." The old man smiled. "I am a follower of Lord Yaoshen, a theologian, and a monk. I will not offer praises to other gods. Since you want to conduct a personal experiment on the Shen element, let me start."

After that, Shalipa's short body walked towards the bonfire. The flames devoured his robe and skin, but the old man had a peaceful look in his eyes, crossed his fingers, and prayed softly.

"May God Yao protect everyone and may the Yao clan prosper forever..."

Flames suddenly rose above the monk, his body seemed to be a mixture of demonic energy and demonic oil, and after a moment the fire shot up into the sky, shrouding the entire room in darkness.

The bright fire that illuminated the four directions tore the darkness into golden cracks.

The monk's body was turning into an evaporating white gas, and a swift and violent force was gathering.

"How can the Omni-Stone really burn?! No, it's not the Omni-Stone, what's condensed in his body is the World Stone! Everyone, get down!"

Bifrons waved his hand, and a black force enveloped everyone.

boom!!

The huge roar caused Zhu Zhi to lose his hearing temporarily. Before his eyes was a huge tongue of fire rising into the sky. It pierced through the ceiling above his head, allowing the starry sky to reappear in his field of vision.

The monk Sharipa turned into a raging fire that broke through the shackles, and the scorching air currents surged and circled in the stone house.

Bifrons murmured, "What a madman... madman... How did I get summoned to such a world?"

After coming out, the devil hadn't done anything yet, but the masked believers around the house had already fled in panic.

Zhu Zhi climbed onto the roof but did not chase after them. He just turned back to make sure the other five people were safe.

Then he said, "I'll take you back to Yaocheng."

Zhu Zhi looked up at the sky.

He was not sure whether the monk was taken away by the power of God.

He only knew that he had to go to White Castle and deliver the conclusion of Shalipa's life to where it belonged.
