Chapter 775: Broken Tai Sui

On the phone, Ding Hanzhen teased, "Xiao Huang, you have become a household name in Daqin this time. The Emperor of Daqin made an exception and conferred a title on a non-native. This is a very rare thing..."

Lu Yao talked about the story of "All roads lead to Rome".

The old man's voice suddenly became serious: "Minerva is the think tank of the three main gods of Rome. She has never been a casual and ostentatious person. Since she told you this, it seems that it won't be long before this law is announced to the public."

"Xiao Huang, you were right not to agree."

Ding Hanzhen said: "The situation in Rome is complicated. They have a tradition of regicide and deicide. The Romans have always been known for only bread and competition."

"To put it simply, many of the main gods of Rome were tyrants. The gods would challenge or even assassinate the main gods to seize the position of the main god. Today, the Pantheon only retains three main gods, not only because of the decline of Rome, but also because of the fighting among them."

"The Colosseum is where heroes rose to fame, and the Pantheon is where gods bled and fell."

Lu Yao was a little surprised.

Rome has this kind of traditional art, so it is indeed difficult to develop it stably in the long term.

He asked: "Teacher Zao, has this ancient challenge and tradition never changed?"

“It won’t change.”

Ding Hanzhen said in a deep voice: "It's not that they don't want to, but they can't. Because Roman mythology is built on fighting, seizing and conquering, and their power also comes from this ubiquitous high-intensity competition."

"In the early days, this naturally allowed them to grow rapidly under high pressure, and then release the pressure outward, expanding a huge territory, suppressing many myths for a time, and even gaining a large number of vassal gods and civilizations. But as the times changed, Rome could not maintain its absolute lead for a long time, and internal tyrants continued to emerge, so decline was inevitable."

"At the same time, the Roman mythological anchor [the Pantheon] needs the blood and death of gods to maintain it. Without fighting and competition, Rome will truly perish."

The God of the Kitchen on the other end of the phone said: "[All roads lead to Rome] is actually a law... I think it is very likely related to the [Pantheon] and Roman customs. They have to aggressively launch conquests and wars to maintain the smooth flow and operation of this law. This may be the prerequisite."

"So I say, you were very wise not to agree to them. This is a muddy water, and anyone who gets involved will be in trouble."

Lu Yao was a little surprised: "Teacher Zao, don't you know that [All roads lead to Rome] is a law?"

The old man laughed: "Do you really think we know everything? That's too much. There's a saying that goes, the essence of human beings is a makeshift team. We create our own myths and leave behind history and culture. In fact, we are making this makeshift team bigger and stronger, maintaining long-term stability and continuity, and expanding the scope and dimension of human civilization."

Lu Yao couldn't help but complain: "Is it really okay for you to say that..."

"It's okay, it's a well-known fact. I'm not a leader, I'm just a member of the public, it won't be a problem."

Ding Hanzhen was as humble as ever: "But your information is of great help to us, and will benefit our subsequent judgment and adjustments. I have to go and make an urgent report right away."

"In fact, according to the intelligence from the Foreign Affairs Bureau and the various information we have collected, the Strategic Bureau has also been proposing a point of view... Although we thought it was outrageous at first, now that we think about it, it does have a certain possibility."

The old man said: "The Strategic Bureau speculates that the [Virtual Mirror] is not a naturally occurring virtual phenomenon, but the result of a man-made disaster. Rome is on the list of suspected creators."

"I don't know if these guys are just guessing..."

The Kitchen God said casually.

The more Lu Yao thought about it, the more he felt that it was very likely.

After the virtual mirror is unfolded, the one that benefits the most is currently Roman mythology. They can salvage the world in the virtual mirror like fishing, and use it to replenish the various scarce resources, population and beliefs.

From a stakeholder perspective, this is indeed the case.

But the specific method is unclear.

However, considering that [All Roads Lead to Rome] can lead directly to the border zone, this is theoretically possible.

Lu Yao asked a question of his own: "Teacher Zao, do other myths also have laws like [All roads lead to Rome]?"

“Well…how should I put it?”

Ding Hanzhen was very cautious this time: "The law itself is a power structure on the side of truth, or a natural law. Human mythology is always exploring farther borders, and there are many forgotten people who enter the side of truth. But even if you have come into contact with the law, you can only glimpse a part of it. It is difficult to truly master it."

"Of course everyone is researching this field, but there are many difficulties. There is no organization that openly claims to have mastered the laws... Judging from the current progress, Rome is indeed ahead of all the myths. This is also a fact."

Lu Yao understood.

Each mythology has been conducting research in secret, and should have achieved some results, but this is the first time that Rome is preparing to officially announce its application.

Rome’s progress this time...it can be said that ancestral glory and opportunity are both indispensable.

This is also the only way.

When a god enters the main god stage, if he wants to go further, he can't avoid exploring the border zone or even the truth side. Although it is a dead zone with almost no response, it is also a huge natural treasure house.

…

Lu Yao hung up the phone, took out a small milk pudding from the refrigerator and ate it slowly.

It is best for you to just watch the fire from the other side of the river.

If you stay less involved in everything, you will have fewer worries.

He opened the music player and selected "Ordinary Road".

Pu Shu's singing voice came from the small speaker.

I have crossed mountains and seas, and also walked through crowds of people ...

Lu Yao was eating ice cream and listening to music when he saw a red message pop up on the simulator.

【Warning, warning! 】

[Tai Sui is approaching you. For your safety, please try to avoid it as soon as possible. ]

Huh? Tai Sui came looking for me? Lu Yao remembered that he had thrown Tai Sui far away and had not taken care of it for a long time. Anyway, he had the title of [Guide] and could locate this eye-catching red danger at any time.

Lu Yao clicked on the prompt bar and the screen immediately jumped to Yunzhong Temple.

Around the huge white vortex, small worlds are slowly rotating around it.

Next to this group of worlds is a huge white bust of Tai Sui.

There is still a hole in the middle of its smooth golden face, like some kind of dark eye socket, slowly staring at the vortex world.

Tai Sui's chest was still in a damaged state that seemed unable to close, with a beating red heart inside, and numerous slender tentacles floating in the broken part below his waist.

But this time it had many more wounds and cuts on its body, and black smoke was coming out of its head and back.

Lu Yao was a little stunned.

It turned out that Tai Sui could be injured so badly.

Lu Yao observed more carefully and noticed that Tai Sui's shoulders, waist and head were all red and burning... It was Chixu, he was very familiar with it.

Under normal circumstances, Tai Sui would not enter Chixu. It had previously demonstrated the awareness and ability to avoid Chixu.

Why is this? Tai Sui slowly turned his head and looked at the screen.

Lu Yao was so scared that the little pudding in his hand was shaking.

What's going on? Has Tai Sui awakened?

Or is he here to feed me? Tai Sui stretched out his broad, flat hand and reached deep into his chest, then grabbed something out. He slowly opened his five fingers, and a pebble-like world slowly rose from his hand.

The world floated all the way to the center of the screen.

Lu Yao was stunned.

Is he asking me to appraise it or what? Or... is he giving it to me as a gift?

Lu Yao clicked to select and view.

…

[Unnamed Gravel World]

【Divine Character】: None.

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

【Divinity】: Crumbling (14601).

【Divine Body】: None (0).

…

Judging from the panel information alone, it is no different from the many gravel worlds floating in the virtual universe.

The difference lies in appearance.

Lu Yao saw that the world that Tai Sui placed next to his heart for protection had a familiar layer of white on its surface.

Could it be that...

Lu Yao immediately double-clicked to enter the interior of this world and confirmed that what was slowly flowing on its surface was the Xirang.

But Tai Sui is active in the crawling area.

The only place known to have a large amount of Xiran is "Xuqiu".

Did Tai Sui fly to the mine? Lu Yao immediately went to King Wuji to verify, but King Wuji said he had not seen any trace of Tai Sui.

Lord Dark Star did give an answer.

[Tai Sui did appear in this area. I observed it through Dark Star.]

[However, it did not approach here. It first sneaked into the "Xuqiu" and soon came out and left.]

Tai Sui salvaged this small world from the Xirang Sea.

Lu Yao focused his eyes on what was in front of him.

He first used the [Sylvanus Tree] to anchor it, but when he checked its background information record, he only got a blank. In this case, it could only be erased intentionally.

So, this gravel world has undergone some kind of elaborate disguise.

But there are still some tiny traces left.

[Rule triggering success: abnormal interference]

[Rule triggering success: abnormal interference]

…

The last time I saw this word was when I was dealing with the boundary beast [Scavenger] at the Yao clan’s world headquarters.

Lu Yao came to this world with Isabel in the body of yellow armor.

Now he has Xing Tian in his left hand and three soldier spirits in his right hand, so he is not afraid of anything.

…

To facilitate movement, Lu Yao and Isabel rode on the magic wand together and looked down at the world from the air.

The ground was covered with fertile soil, and moist clay-like white mud was flowing slowly. No living creatures could be seen.

In this lifeless world, everything is wrapped in Xirang, and even the divine nature's inherent ability to see is affected.

There was only a blue and black vortex in the sky, surrounded by a layer of dim flames.

Its name is displayed as [Star Bridge], and the number 14601 is displayed next to it, which is a slow countdown.

Lu Yao immediately understood that it was the fire of faith that supported this phenomenon.

He tried to inject the power of faith into it, and found that the value was rising. For safety reasons, he directly injected 1 million fires of faith, and the flames that enveloped the vortex suddenly became bright and blazing, no longer looking like they would go out at any time.

Lu Yao walked into the [Star Bridge].

…

The world on the other side of the vortex was gray and broken. Tiny ashes were floating in the air, and the whole world was gray, more destructive and apocalyptic than before. There was no sign of life on the ground, only gravel and rocks.

As soon as Lu Yao arrived, he heard a loud rumbling sound and the ground beneath his feet was shaking.

Two blurry shadows appeared in the distance.

Lu Yao looked up.

There are two pillars standing between the clouds and the ground.

They are still moving.

Slowly return to the clouds, slowly fall down, and move forward steadily.

It's like taking some kind of measurement of the ground.

They are huge, but cannot be seen clearly. The light on the surface is blurred and distorted, and only blurry white columns can be seen. Wherever they go, space is deformed, the ground, the air, and the clouds.

Lu Yao couldn't get any panels from him.

He observed carefully for a while.

The characteristics of this thing...isn't it the [Double Distortion Slit] that Song Shiyi and her team investigated and tracked? The messengers called it the [Shadow of the Transcendent].

But Lu Yao has another name that left a deeper impression on him.

[The gaze of the Spirit King].
