A height of one hundred meters is actually not too high.

If it were a high-rise building, it would be thirty or forty stories high.

If you are a modern person, you basically have the experience of looking down from this height - you can clearly see everything on the ground, even some people, cars, and houses.

Even at this height, everything is very small, but everything can be seen very clearly.

What Li Shimin saw at this moment was the people kneeling on the ground in the streets.

It’s not even just the streets.

In those so-called wealthy families, most of the maids, servants, or ladies were kneeling on the ground.

Li Shimin had also seen too many people kneeling before him.

But at this moment, he knew.

These people were not kneeling to him, but to the immortal, the immortal king beside him, and the "Immortal King Cheluan" he was in.

"Shimin," Li Shimin said uncertainly, "I also saw the people of Chang'an."

He has already talked about the mountains and rivers, the cities, so the only thing he hasn't mentioned is the people.

"That's right, the people." Shen Yi finally stopped being silent and said slowly, "To immortals like us, mortals are so small and fragile. They are born in the morning and die in the evening. Even if there are hundreds of generations, it is just a blink of an eye."

Li Shimin listened very seriously, and all the officials behind him also listened.

My mind was a little disturbed.

Indeed, to such immortals, what are mortals? Not to mention ordinary people.

Even these high-ranking officials are too humble.

"However..." Shen Yi suddenly changed his tone and even emphasized, "Looking at all things in the world, only mortals are the most similar to us. Immortals have the word "immortal" as a prefix and "human" as the essence."

Just one sentence made Li Shimin open his eyes wide.

He turned his head.

He just happened to meet Shen Yi's gaze.

His black eyes were as deep as an ancient spring and as vast as a galaxy. He seemed to have already understood all the wisdom in the world. Just one glance at them was enough to jolt his mind, as if he had been struck by lightning.

It was not the body that was shaken.

But consciousness.

"Do you understand what I mean?" Shen Yi spoke again.

"Shimin, Shimin"

Li Shimin trembled, but then lowered his head and was unable to speak.

He seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand.

Immortals are like the sun, moon and stars in the sky, while mortals are like fireflies underground.

How can the light of a firefly compete with the brilliance of the sun and the moon? In the eyes of immortals, mortals are nothing more than ants.

"How foolish." Shen Yi's tone was already slightly disappointed. "Immortals also come from mortals. As long as mortals pass on from generation to generation, immortals will also continue to emerge. This is the great way of Heavenly Fire. However, if the people of the world are destroyed by a catastrophe, looking around, there will be no one left on earth. For this world, the inheritance will be cut off, and for the heavens, there will be one less world of Heavenly Fire inheritance. This seat is here for this reason."

It has come to this.

It was just a bang.

Not only Li Shimin, but even the officials kneeling behind him understood it all at once.

Everyone was shaking, and it was unclear whether they were excited or panicked.

They already understood.

This principle is the same as the emperor's selection of officials.

This is the significance of mortals to immortals!

As for Gu Yan and others, they were also thoughtful.

This principle is simple to understand.

Isn’t this also one of the salvation concepts of the Pan-Humanistic Guardian Association?

Every time a world is extinct, it means that the human civilization of that world has completely lost its future. It also means that the human power in the multiverse has been reduced. Ultimately, it also damages the interests and future of multiverse organizations such as the Pan-Human Protection Association.

now.

Li Shimin, who had completely understood, said repeatedly:

"Shimin understands, Shimin understands." But he seemed to have thought of something, his body suddenly trembled, and he asked cautiously, "Immortal Lord, will this catastrophe in the human world really be so serious?"

The Immortal Lord just said that.

All people in the world will be destroyed in the catastrophe, and there will be no more mortals on earth!

Li Shimin, who had originally focused his attention on the immortal and not paid much attention to the catastrophe, suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

How many people are there in the entire Tang Dynasty?

Tens of millions! He had experienced the previous war, and human life was extremely cheap at that time, almost to the point where there were bones on the road. But even in such a war, it would not be said that there would be no more mortals!

"If not, why would the Immortal Lord come down to earth in person?" It was Ding Xiang who spoke. She looked at Li Shimin and said in a cold voice, "Do you know that the Immortal Lord is in charge of more than tens of thousands of people in the mortal world? If it weren't for the extinction of humanity, even if there were a series of wars in your world, and nine out of ten families died, it wouldn't be worth the Immortal Lord's attention."

"hiss--"

There was a sound of gasps from the officials kneeling behind him.

I don’t know whether I was shocked by the number of “tens of thousands” of mortals, or frightened by the words “humane extermination”.

This is especially true for people like Fang Xuanling who know a little about evil spirits.

As the fairy said.

This evil ghost appeared in the world and would actually slaughter all the people in the world, including these officials, their families, and everyone in the world?

This time.

Even Li Shimin could not hide his fear.

This level of horror was far beyond his imagination.

As an emperor, even if he is accustomed to natural disasters and man-made calamities, and even if he turns a blind eye to the suffering of the people, he cannot help but feel fear at such a horrific scene of human genocide.

If all the people in the world died, even if he could survive to the end, how miserable it would be.

Moreover, Li Shimin still had some concern for the sufferings of the people in his heart, and he also had the ambition to build a prosperous Tang Dynasty. At this moment, he was so shocked that he knelt down and said:

"Please, Immortal Lord, give me a way to save the world!"

The civil and military officials behind him also kowtowed and shouted:

"Please, Immortal Lord, give me a way to save the world!"

No matter they were civil officials or military officers, at this moment, there was only one thought in their minds, which was to ask the Immortal Lord to bestow a way to save the world.

Just them.

No matter how hard you try, it is hard to imagine how to deal with such a horrific catastrophe.

Besides, the Immortal King has already said that he came to the mortal world this time just for this catastrophe.

Facing the requests of the crowd, Shen Yi just shook his head slightly and said calmly, "The cause of the catastrophe in this world is extraordinary. It is the opening of the ghost den, and the boundaries between humans and ghosts are gradually disappearing. From now on, the souls of the dead can turn into evil ghosts, spreading terror and feeding on the blood of living beings. Some of them are so powerful that even ordinary immortals can hardly match them."
