It is undeniable that the monster behind the sunset sun in the sky is indeed extremely powerful.
That huge body and the eyes that replaced the sun hanging high in the sky proved that this monster had surpassed the boundaries of ordinary monsters and had a tendency to replace the will of this world.
Having reached this point, he can no longer be classified using the ordinary demon clan ranks.
In this unique world of this overseas island, no one can be a match for this monster.
Even if the True Lord Lianxu of the Dayin Dynasty were to come to this world, he might not be able to kill this monster.
Because this monster has become one with the heaven and earth, even if it is just an island with its own world, its status is still superior to other external things. This is also the reason why the monster can run rampant.
Judging from the strength of the people participating in this Earth Gate trial, the three Spirit Refining Masters and one in the late stage of Qi Refining are no different from ants in front of this monster.
Wanting to fight the monster head-on is completely wishful thinking.
When Shen Yuan first saw part of the monster's true form, his heart was filled with fear. Even if he possessed the Tiangang method, it was difficult for him to find a way to fight against such a transcendent monster.
However, as the monster took the initiative to kill it, Shen Yuan used the Nine Breaths to subdue the Qi and controlled the three Qi of heaven and earth to protect himself, which unexpectedly gave Shen Yuan a glimpse of a real opportunity to break the deadlock.
"The spider demon used unknown means to replace the heaven and earth, and stole the position of the sun with its own eyes, causing this world to fall into a cycle of day and dusk forever, and night never comes.
The collapse of the day and night cycle caused the imbalance of yin and yang and the disorder of reincarnation. Living beings had nowhere to go after death, and began to degenerate under the dusk light transformed by that gaze, and eventually formed a large number of demons that spread all over this world. "
"The foundation of the spider demon is the dusk that is full of demons, the eye of dusk that replaces the sun and prevents the moon from appearing in the night sky.
This is the root of evil and the source of all troubles!"
In his mind, Shen Yuan recalled the terrifying magical power displayed by the Eyes of Dusk. The moment he looked directly at it, it could arouse the malice of all things in the world. Aura, space, light, air, everything turned into killing weapons.
This was when Shen Yuan was high in the sky, and there were not many things around him that he could touch.
If it was on the ground, Shen Yuan had no doubt that that glance would cause the earth and mountains to collapse, and all living things would be plunged into slaughter.
Even the real person who has gone through all the tribulations and is immune to all evil will perish under that terrifying magical power.
Even the Great Master Huanxu would be seriously injured if caught off guard.
"Such magical power, or such an eye that can replace the sun, is definitely not something that a spider demon can possess.
If he had this ability, he would be able to run rampant without any worries without having to replace this world.
Therefore, this Eye of Dusk must have been occupied by the spider demon, and then gradually replaced this world with the Eye of Dusk. "
“But the Eye of Dusk is not the real sun after all. It is just a false Dusk Sun that cannot truly replace the sun.
As long as we can make the sun reappear in this world, and let the night and the moon return between heaven and earth, we can break the chaos created by the spider demon. "
Thinking of this, Shen Yuan raised his right hand slightly.
On the palm of his hand, two strands of Qi of heaven and earth, Zhu Ming Cheng Ye and Sui Mu Tian Han, slowly condensed.
Zhu Ming Chengye is the middle-level Qi of heaven and earth that branches out of the Great Sun True Flame Qi. The Great Sun True Flame Qi was born on the Sun Star and contains the Great Sun True Meaning itself.
The cold weather at the end of the year is the middle-level Qi of heaven and earth in the branch of Taiyin and Guanghan. Although its core rules of heaven and earth are ice and time, it can also be traced back to the Taiyin star and contains the true meaning of Taiyin.
The bright red light gathered and condensed at night, turning into a thumb-sized golden sun, while the ice-blue solar energy on the other side also turned into a moon that seemed to be made of ice.
The sun and the moon moved in Shen Yuan's palm, rising in the east and setting in the west, outlining the missing rules of this world.
The next moment, the huge sunset in the distant sky seemed to have sensed something. The evening sunlight fell on the earth and gathered towards the barren mountain where Shen Yuan was. The terrifying eyes of dusk quietly fell on this place.
"This guy's perception is so sharp?"
Shen Yuan's expression changed, and he clenched his five fingers, and the image of the alternation of the sun and the moon disappeared in Shen Yuan's palm.
The gathered evening sun lost its target at this moment. After a slight pause, the gaze of the Eyes of Dusk returned to the sky again.
This world is still a place where demons run rampant and yin and yang are out of order, no different from the past thousands of years.
With a long sigh, Shen Yuan slowly stood up from the ground.
The Yuan Qi controlled by the Nine Breaths Subduing Qi divine power has recovered most of Shen Yuan's injuries. Although he looks quite embarrassed, his condition is much better than before.
But at this moment Shen Yuan did not show any joy.
He did not cast his gaze towards the sunset sun. The spider demon's perception was far beyond his imagination. He even suspected that if his gaze stayed on the sunset sun for too long, it might attract the spider demon's attention.
Although an opportunity to break the impasse has been found, the spider demon is still at its peak. We must not confront it head-on before the overall situation is determined.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuan looked around the barren mountain where he was.
Having just fallen out of a space crack, the dangerous aura brought by the opening of the space crack caused a large number of demons to instinctively avoid it.
But as the cracks in Shen Yuan's space were repaired and the dangerous aura dissipated, many demons began to move towards Shen Yuan's direction.
Most of these monsters maintain human form, but their appearances are all kinds of strange and bizarre.
There are monsters with red faces and huge tongues hiding in the clouds, there are demons with heads covered with hair and the front and back cannot be distinguished, and there are children with pale faces and ghost fire surrounding them.
These monsters were all transformed from dead creatures. Under the erosion of the evening sun, their three souls and seven spirits were lost, and their most basic forms began to distort in all kinds of strange directions.
Due to their mental impairment, these demons have not even mastered the most basic breathing techniques, and after hundreds of years of existence, they have only managed to reach the Qi Transformation Stage.
Even though Shen Yuan was injured, such a demon could not bring any danger to Shen Yuan.
But the existence of these monsters represents the monster's erosion of this world.
Shen Yuan sighed softly, and flicked his right index finger. The Yuan Qi turned into spiritual fire, easily devouring the large number of demons gathered around.
The demon howled miserably in the flames, but it was of no avail.
At dusk, Shen Yuan was walking among the barren mountains. Any demon that came within a hundred meters would be burned to ashes by the spiritual fire transformed from Yuan Qi.
On the barren mountain, the screams of the burning demons echoed over an area of dozens of miles.
In several villages under the barren mountain, the villagers panicked and thought that the mountain god was angry, so they gathered together and began to discuss how to offer sacrifices to the mountain god and calm his anger.
Eleven-year-old Mita Yu sat in the yard, watching his father's departing back with a sad expression.
As a child who grew up in the village, the eleven-year-old Mita Yu was already half of the family's labor force, so he naturally knew why his father went to the clan temple in the village. Just two days ago, there was a flash of fire on the high mountain just a few miles away from the village, and there were also the sounds of a large number of demons crying.
The people in several villages at the foot of the mountain were all in danger, and many claimed that it was the mountain god who was angry, and they must offer sacrifices to the mountain god to appease his anger.
But for villages far away from the city, this is definitely a big deal.
The villagers endured attacks from demons in the upper reaches of the wilderness. The harvest from a year of hard work was barely enough to feed their families, and there was no extra food to offer to the mountain gods.
Even though everyone knows that the mountain god being worshipped is also a demon.
They only eat meat, not grain.
The last time the village offered sacrifices to the mountain god was three years ago.
At that time, several villagers refused to worship the mountain god, and finally a demon attack occurred in the village a few months later.
Several elders in the village believed that the demon attack was caused by several villagers’ refusal to offer sacrifices, and they drove those villagers out of the village.
However, Mita U vaguely remembered that demons attacked the village many times every year, but he didn't know why that attack was related to the mountain god worship.
But since that time, all the villagers realized one thing.
If you don't want to leave the village and wander in the wilderness, you must agree to worship the mountain god.
Even if the corn offered by everyone suddenly turned into bags of sand and gravel after being sent to the mountains, the elders would only say that this was the way the mountain god ate.
The mountain god ate the rice and then pulled out the sand and gravel.
The young Mita Ue felt that this matter was very problematic. Putting aside the question of whether the mountain god eats rice or not, the fact that the mountain god stuffed what he excreted into the bag of food made Mita Ue feel very disgusted. He felt that the mountain god must be very unhygienic.
His father's back disappeared from his sight. Mita You stood up from the ground, brushed the dust off his butt, and slipped out of the village alone.
He was very clear about the food situation at home. This year, many grain fields were destroyed due to the rampant demons, making the already meager harvest even less.
My mother had just given birth to my younger sister. If we offered sacrifices to the mountain god, the remaining food would definitely not be enough for our family of four to survive the winter.
The first one to starve to death would definitely be the newly born sister, just like the less than one-year-old brother of Youtian next door who starved to death after the mountain god sacrifice three years ago.
Mita Ue didn't want to see this happen, so he wanted to find the mountain god and ask him to give up accepting sacrifices.
Mita You was running quickly on the wasteland. It was already afternoon and it would be dusk soon. By then many monsters would appear on the wasteland.
Although the villagers have summarized some ways to avoid demons, Mita You does not want to take any risks.
After running all the way to the foot of the mountain, Mita U was already exhausted and out of breath, but he still gritted his teeth and walked up the mountain along the road that the mountain people usually took.
Mita Yu remembered that the mountain god of Takayama was a huge tree on the top of the mountain. The last time the village held a sacrifice during the day, he went up the mountain with the villagers to see the big tree, so he had a very deep impression of it.
Legend has it that when dusk falls, the mountain god tree will transform into a human form and wander around the world. When dusk ends, it will return to the mountain and turn back into a god tree.
Recalling the legend about the mountain god in his mind, he had unknowingly climbed halfway up the mountain. Mita U was surprised to find that the top of the mountain seemed a lot quieter than usual.
Even if you go up the mountain during the day, you can hear some cold whispers, malicious laughter, and creepy ghost images.
According to the old people in the village, these are all powerful monsters in the mountain, but they cannot show up until dusk, so they can only scare people in this way.
But when he went up the mountain today, Mita U didn't see even a ghost or a whisper.
In this way, Mita U climbed all the way to the top of the mountain and saw the big tree of the mountain god.
The tree was dozens of feet tall. Even five or six strong men could not hug its huge trunk. Its thick roots surrounded the mountain and spread from the top to the bottom.
What impressed Mita Ue most about the mountain god tree was the distorted face that looked like a human in the center of the tree.
But when Mita U reached the top of the mountain, he suddenly discovered that the distorted human face that had originally been on the mountain god tree had disappeared.
Instead, next to the big tree on the top of the mountain, a small wooden house was built at some point. Outside the house were some tools such as hoes and scissors. There was even a rusty ancient bronze sword hanging on the outer wall of the house.
Mita U was stunned for a moment. He tilted his head and thought about it, and immediately recalled the legend in his memory about the mountain god transforming into a human form and traveling the world.
Just then, the door opened.
Shen Yuan walked out of the room and looked at the child who had already appeared in his perception.
The child was wearing clothes made of coarse cloth that could barely cover his body. He was wearing a pair of woven straw sandals in the cold autumn wind. Sweat and dust covered his face, but his bright eyes were full of excitement as he looked at Shen Yuan.
"Lord Mountain God!"
"You must be the mountain god! Can you ask the elders to stop collecting food to offer sacrifice to the mountain god?"
"This year, everyone suffered from a disaster and the harvest was bad. My mother also gave birth to a younger sister. If we harvest grain to sacrifice to the mountain god, my sister will definitely starve to death."
"We will owe you a year's debt this year, and then we'll make it up to the Mountain God next year when the harvest is good. Is that okay with you?"
Mita Yu looked at Shen Yuan with bright eyes full of anticipation.
From these few brief words, Shen Yuan vaguely knew what was happening.
In a chaotic world full of demons, it is not just the demons that truly harm people. The evil of demons lies in killing, but the evil of human hearts is far greater than that of demons.
Under Mita You's gaze, Shen Yuan shook his head slightly and said:
“I’m not a mountain god.”
Mita Yu's expectant eyes suddenly extinguished.
"But regarding the matter of sacrifice, I do have some ideas."
Santian looked at Shen Yuan with confused eyes, his eyes full of confusion.
"What's your name, little one?"
"My name is Mitada U. My father said that on the day I was born, the family had reclaimed the third field, so he named me Mitada U."
Shen Yuan extended his index finger and pointed it at the center of Santian's right brow, and said softly:
"From today on, you are the god of this mountain!"
