Chapter 200: The Revenge You Said (Three in One)
The ghost general Ruoye is a super evil spirit of the second level under the Nine Netherworlds.
Moreover, it has existed in the Nine Netherworld for at least a thousand years. An evil spirit of this level cannot be an unknown existence in the world today.
In this world, there are always crazy people who actively communicate with Jiuyou, such as the "Blood God Cult" that has long been destroyed.
These lunatics took the initiative to open the rift between themselves and Jiuyou in order to sign a long-term contract so that they could accurately summon the evil spirit they needed.
And the person that the "Blood God Cult" found was Ruoye.
Because they could not understand what the evil spirit said, and Ruoye looked like a mass of filthy flesh and blood, they arbitrarily gave Ruoye the title of "Blood God", regarded it as their own belief, and worshipped it for many years.
The great evil spirits under the Nine Netherworlds don't mind getting free food and drink. After all, they only need to crush a few small insects occasionally to get a lot of fresh blood food.
This is a rare delicacy in the Nine Netherworld. When Gu Fangchen revealed his presence in the Nine Netherworld, the group of evil spirits rushed over, shouting "I'm super cold"...
However, after the fall of the "Blood God Cult", Ruoye lost his worship.
It was suddenly re-established today, and it is a large order involving an entire region.
Ruoye ran out immediately, only to find that the one who summoned her was actually the messenger of the "Four-phase Lord of Disaster" from last time!
Ruoye flew down, looked at Gu Fangchen with some doubt, and said with a bow:
"The 'Inverted Heaven and Earth' formation has already been successfully activated, raising the 'Cruel Dragon Vein' to the present world. What does the messenger want from me now?"
He took a look at the current situation and Gu Fangchen's condition, frowned, looked at the people in the Demon Sect with bloodthirsty eyes, and said coldly:
"But do you need my help? The messenger did us a great favor last time. If there's anything you need my help with, just let me know."
Before Gu Fangchen could speak, the people from the Demon Sect behind him were stunned.
They couldn't understand what Ruoye said, but they could see that the large mass of flesh and blood suddenly turned into a human form after hearing Gu Fangchen's words, and then saluted Gu Fangchen very politely and even respectfully.
This has completely overturned their understanding of evil spirits—
It’s bad enough that you summoned the evil spirit, but why is this evil spirit being polite to you?
Under normal circumstances, sacrifice is just a transaction, and the evil spirits don’t understand human language very well, so they just eat when they are released, and leave when they are done eating.
How come when it comes to you, the evil spirit can understand what people say and do things in an orderly manner? Is this still the evil spirit you summoned?
Of course, in reality, the evil spirits really couldn’t understand human language very well, but Gu Fangchen could understand their gibberish and knew how to exchange gibberish with them.
Before this, Gu Fangchen's inexplicable network of contacts, with people helping him wherever he went, had already been an open and unsolved mystery.
Now, not only does he have connections, he also has ghost connections!
What's more, this is not an ordinary evil spirit. Just by looking at the sacrificial formation, you can tell that its cultivation must be extraordinary. The aura it just emitted is at least at the second level.
This is really weird!
Previously, Gu Fangchen had many connections and was known to be cunning and scheming, but what was going on now...
Could it be that he has died?
He went to Jiuyou and was able to win the resurrection match. What kind of cultivation level does this require?
Gu Fangchen coughed twice, stuffed two pills into himself, and said:
"There is indeed something I need your help with, but it's not because of this..."
He looked at the altar formation behind him. At this moment, the altars in the nine desert seas had been successfully activated, forming a real [Blood God Altar].
All that was missing was a blood meal for the sacrifice.
But soon, someone will help fill this vacancy...
This altar was almost fully activated back then, and there were sufficient resources underneath, enough to support the Nine Netherworld Passage for a while.
Ruoye licked her lips, looked at the group of people outside with a sinister look, and said:
"Then why don't you wait until I finish my meal before discussing this?"
Gu Fangchen was not in a hurry and nodded:
"Of course, please."
Afterwards, he sat down there and began to regulate his breathing, watching coldly as Ruoye transformed into his huge and twisted original form again, killing indiscriminately and devouring all the people in the Demon Sect.
Every single one of the demonic cult members who can appear here deserves to die.
But similarly, Ruoye's ultimate goal is to subvert the entire world and let Jiuyou rule everything. Neither side is a good thing.
Now Gu Fangchen is just driving the tiger to devour the wolf.
He looked at the scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere, pulled the corners of his mouth, and found that he had become accustomed to it.
Although he is still unsure of who he is, he seems to have integrated into the world he once thought was a game.
"wrong……"
Gu Fangchen sat on the ruins, crossed one leg, touched his chin, and his expression suddenly changed.
When this game was first released, players complained that the world was too cruel, morals were very low, and they were often killed by tricks.
On the surface, it seems that these are all practitioners, but they have nothing to do with "cultivating immortals" at all.
Looking through the entire "Mirror in the Dust", there are very few good people in the absolute sense. The vast majority of practitioners are just madly pursuing the "Tao" they believe in.
For this, he is even willing to sacrifice everything, become paranoid and crazy, and walk alone.
But if you just look at it from the player's perspective, it's natural to think that this was done intentionally by the game production team. If it wasn't set up like this, how could there be enough bosses?
In terms of playability, there must be a dark enough world view with monsters everywhere to allow players to enjoy the battle to their heart's content.
But he now knows that this world is actually real.
Judging from the known information, he, or part of him, is the "heart blood" and "spirit of the soul" of the unlucky prince Gu Fangchen who became a cannon fodder.
Afterwards, perhaps it was the Taoist Master "Heng Chang" or someone else who threw him into another world and created the game "Mirror in the Dust", allowing him to deduce the six endings.
Then, there is also a possibility that the other world is fake.
His life as the player Gu Fangchen was an illusion created by someone.
After achieving his desired goal, he was rescued and brought back to life, making Gu Fangchen whole again...
In this real world, almost all practitioners, even including those in Yaoshan Academy who are full of morality, even if there are really gentlemen in the beginning, later on, they have nothing to do with the word morality.
After leaving the player's mind, Gu Fangchen suddenly realized that this was actually a very serious and strange matter.
In other words, basically, those high-level practitioners are most likely to be considered crazy by normal people.
There are even some people who have always been seeking the right path and have never deviated from their pursuits, but their actions are contrary to their ideals.
If this happens to one or two people, then it's a people problem.
But if almost everyone is like this, then the phenomenon itself is the problem!
Gu Fangchen's face was solemn, and he remembered the two last words left by Ying Baishou -
"Heaven and earth are like a furnace, yin and yang are charcoal, man is copper, and Tao is fire."
"Some preachers are like those who add fuel to a fire; they end up burning themselves. Wrong, wrong, wrong..."
When he saw this sentence, he realized that there was something wrong with it.
"Tao" was originally the ultimate goal of practitioners, but here, it has become the flame that burns the furnace.
Gu Fangchen thought about the trap he had set for Gu Yuye using the dragon vein, and suddenly he felt cold all over.
What if the preacher, like Gu Yuye, thought that he had seized the destiny, but in fact, he had seized the false dragon vein that took his life?
"Tao" is a dangerous flame, but practitioners think they can use it for their own benefit and regard it as a life-saving straw.
However, in reality, it is just playing with fire and will bring disaster.
Gu Fangchen used to think that outside that sky gate, there might really be a furnace, and that ascension was a lie, and that there was actually someone waiting outside.
As soon as someone jumped out of the furnace, he was grabbed and refined in an instant.
But what if there is no such assumption at all?
If that were the case, Ying Baishou should not have written it this way.
These two sentences are very straightforward, and you can easily think of such a possibility.
It would have been simpler and more direct for him to just write "Don't ascend, don't ascend, don't ascend".
Why make such an exclamation?
Ying Baishou's two sentences are more of a helplessness than a warning.
He seemed to feel that things were irreversible, so he could only sigh helplessly...
Then, it means that the situation may have become irreversible, and he can only do this much and cannot save the situation.
Gu Fangchen took a deep breath and felt as if he had figured it out.
If the practitioner's "Tao" is wrong from the beginning, then all those who have embarked on the path of practice are "those who add fuel to the fire."
In this situation, I really don't know how to save...
Except for one person.
That is Gu Fangchen himself.
Theoretically, none of his current skills were acquired through self-cultivation.
Because of the influence of player thinking, he jumped through the levels like a rocket.
The cultivation of the soul relies on the "Experience Book" and the "Soul Bottle", and the cultivation of martial arts relies on "refining magic" to refine puppets.
Even the second set of cultivation relied on the system to improve his understanding.
But to be honest, he didn't know what this comprehension was. Anyway, as long as his comprehension was improving, he could practice, but at other times, he still knew nothing.
So strictly speaking, it is not him who is practicing, but the system that is helping him practice!
What is "Tao"?
Gu Fangchen really didn't know.
All he has are simple numbers...
"It's a good thing I figured it out now."
Gu Fangchen exhaled a breath of foul air. He had now reached the fourth level, which was the most critical juncture.
Going further up is the threshold between the middle three grades and the upper three grades.
And this threshold is to seize one's own "Tao" from between heaven and earth. This is the process that normal practitioners must go through.
If he hadn't figured this out, Gu Fangchen might really have tried to gain enlightenment on his own out of curiosity.
Of course... with his terrifying comprehension that almost made Ding Xingfeng piss himself, there seemed to be no need to worry about his success.
Thinking of this, Gu Fangchen suddenly twitched his lips, and a guess came to his mind:
"Could it be that they deliberately threw me into modern society just to make me a materialist in my previous life and completely cut off the possibility of enlightenment in this life?"
Hey, when you think about it this way, it makes damn sense!
However, now that we have figured out the key to the problem, it means that Emperor Yong'an, or "Master Hengchang Dao", actually has the same purpose as Ying Baishou.
It is to stop the flame of "Tao" from rising higher and finally burning everyone to ashes.
The way of "keeping constant" will not allow everything to be destroyed.
Gu Fangchen stood up, his eyes flashing.
In this case, when he returns to Huangtian City, he may be able to have a frank talk with Emperor Yong'an, at least to test whether this is what he means.
"What does the messenger want me to do?"
Ruoye ate a big meal, and landed beside Gu Fangchen with great satisfaction and asked.
Gu Fangchen looked towards the direction of [War Immortal Tomb], narrowed his eyes and said calmly:
"It's nothing, actually. A group of tributes will be killed soon, but someone will try to seize their rightful owners. I hope you can intercept them."
Ruoye laughed out loud: "How difficult is that?"
"With the blessing of this formation, if I have enough blood and food, I can defeat anyone below the first rank in a short period of time!"
Of course, it is hard to say whether it was a direct defeat or a one-for-one exchange.
However, according to his perception, there were no major enemies in this desert sea. The more powerful one was at one of the altars and was obviously one of their own.
Gu Fangchen continued:
"This is only the first step. In the second step, I need you to guide the spirits of these sacrifices."
"Lead the way?"
Ruoye was stunned.
Gu Fangchen nodded:
"I will open another rift and allow them to return to the human world!"
This is the rule of reincarnation in this world. Most of the soldiers of the Xuanhuang Army have low cultivation levels, or even no cultivation at all.
With their own souls, they cannot stay in this world.
However, Gu Fangchen's [Yanwang Tie] skill can directly open a fixed crack and summon back the evil spirits from the Nine Netherworlds.
This rift is more than just a skill effect in the game.
This is a real, exploitable rift.
Then, as long as Gu Fangchen uses his skills at this moment, and then asks Ruoye to help lead the way, he can directly make these killed soldiers return as evil spirits.
Moreover, this crack will always follow the designated object.
This means that this is a mobile teleportation array.
Gu Fangchen himself can also use it!
The price of this skill is that it will teleport people to the underworld, but there is no restriction that they can never come back!
With Ruoye protecting him, he can still come back while the skill lasts!
…
Gu Yuye slowly walked out from the exit of [The Tomb of the Immortal of War].
The Xuanhuang Army that he had summoned was already standing in neat rows outside. The moment they saw him, all of them showed excitement and anticipation on their faces and half-knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty!"
Those who can come this time are all Gu Yuye’s true fans.
The fact that they were able to come here meant that they were ready to support Gu Yuye in becoming emperor, which showed their utmost loyalty.
However, part of the reason was that they had not personally experienced the series of plots and changes that took place on the banks of the Jiangling River at that time, and still believed that the current situation was a conspiracy by Gu Fangchen and Emperor Yong'an.
Gu Yuye was framed by that unjust king!
When the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked. What happened to Ding Xingfeng in the past is happening again now!
All the acting that Gu Yuye has done over the years finally played the greatest role at this moment.
Even though things had already shown signs of being amiss, these soldiers were still willing to believe in the cautious and devoted King Zhenbei who was guarding the country for the Wei Dynasty.
Gu Yuye's face was calm at this moment. He looked at the many soldiers in front of him, smiled with satisfaction, and said:
"I have lived and died with you all for decades. At this moment, I am still able to see you share life and death together. This is my blessing!"
The soldiers below all had tears in their eyes in an instant and were extremely moved.
A general raised his arms and shouted:
"We swear allegiance to the prince until death! Please lead us into the Imperial City and chop off the head of that foolish and shameless old emperor!"
"Cut off the head! Cut off the head!"
The roar of the crowd even drowned out the wind and sand, shaking the ground.
The smile on Gu Yuye's face deepened, even becoming a little weird and eerie.
He flew up, looked down at the army below from mid-air, stretched out his hand and spread out his five fingers.
In his originally black eyes, a little bit of blood color gradually expanded and covered both eyes. Combined with the stiff expression on his face, he gave off an inhuman feeling.
He said:
"Army formation, rise!"
"yes!"
The soldiers cooperated subconsciously, tacitly relaxing their minds and handing over the life fire to Gu Yuye for control.
When the countless invisible life flames rose into the sky.
Gu Yuye burst into laughter and clenched the outstretched hand tightly.
Suddenly, dark clouds covered the sky, and a huge rotten hand emerged from the yellow sand, grabbing all the soldiers and their lifeblood.
The soldiers were unable to react in time and their faces changed color, revealing confusion and horror.
"What's this?!"
"This is not the Xuanhuang Army Formation!"
"My Lord, what are you going to do?"
Gu Yuye snorted coldly:
"What? It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but only a moment to deploy it. Since you are willing to share life and death with me, I will naturally fulfill your wish!"
He widened his eyes, his expression extremely ferocious, and shouted coldly:
"Why don't you quickly dedicate everything you have to me and help me get promoted!"
The soldiers then realized that something was wrong, but at this moment, it was already too late.
They had already handed over their lifeblood, and their life and death depended on Gu Yuye's thoughts. He could only reveal expressions of despair, anger, and confusion.
Only then did they realize that it was not Emperor Yong'an who framed Gu Yuye at all.
But their King of Zhenbei is simply a madman!
Even if Gu Yuye rebelled, they would still follow him. With such loyalty, if it were someone else, they would at least have to pretend to be nice to them for a while.
Wait until the cunning rabbit dies before you can cook the dog.
But Gu Yuye didn't say anything and just wanted to refine them all and use them as tools for his own promotion.
They cursed:
"Gu Yuye, you will not die well!"
"Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go!"
“…”
But Gu Yuye's gaze did not waver at all, only remained cold.
Are you kidding? These people will be crushed into ashes from their bodies to their souls, and they won't even be able to become ghosts. This kind of talk is nothing but a joke.
He sneered:
"Okay, if you have the guts, come and seek revenge on me."
The huge palm closed and crushed.
The moment Gu Yuye launched his army, the lives of hundreds of thousands of people became his nourishment...
In an instant, the lives of hundreds of thousands of people were cut off. As Gu Yuye opened his arms and looked greedily, invisible threads emerged from the life flames, connected to his body, and flew towards him.
The moment when all of it will become Gu Yuye’s cultivation.
A scarlet formation suddenly appeared above the ground.
Nine blood pillars converged here, and an even thicker blood light that almost reached the sky and the earth shot up into the sky!
In the blink of an eye, it enveloped the soldiers and bounced off the invisible threads!
The sacrificial formation set up by the "Blood God Cult" had a higher priority than Gu Yuye's military formation because it was activated in advance and the objects of sacrifice had a higher level of cultivation.
Just intercept!
Then, the blood light turned into a huge ball of filthy flesh and blood, opened its terrifying bloody mouth, and swallowed the soldiers in one gulp!
The great evil spirit from the Netherworld chewed it twice and digested the blood food.
Gu Yuye: "..."
His expression froze on his face, and the movement of opening his arms froze.
Ruoye ate and drank her fill, and heaved a sigh of relief, then chuckled:
"Messenger, thank you for the gift. I will lead the way for you as promised!"
Gu Yuye raised his head stiffly and saw Gu Fangchen floating in the air. His eyes turned red instantly!
"Gu! Fang! Chen!!!!"
He finally broke down completely, gritting his teeth and roaring loudly, veins bulging on his forehead, and he was truly furious.
"I should have killed you then! No, it's not too late now!"
Gu Yuye's face was ferocious as he rushed towards him with a flash of light. The sword in his hand turned into a stream of light.
Gu Fangchen sneered:
"You should worry about yourself!"
【Yanwang Tie】, start!
Gu Fangchen muttered something in his heart, and then he disappeared from the spot.
Gu Yuye's attack was in vain. He looked at the huge flesh and blood pressing towards him and gritted his teeth.
"Do you think I can't do anything to you just because you found an evil spirit?!"
His expression was uncertain as he looked at the sword in his hand, as if struggling to make a decision.
But before he could make a decision, a Nine Netherworld passage appeared next to him.
Countless evil spirits emerged from it!
Gu Yuye had experienced this kind of thing before. He was shocked and immediately began to retreat.
However, this time, the situation is very different from before!
Familiar faces of Gu Yuye began to appear among them—the soldiers he had just killed!
These soldiers turned into evil spirits, filled with resentment. When they saw Gu Yuye, they all rushed over!
And their numbers were increasing. Hundreds of thousands of evil spirits directly turned the Nine Netherworld Passage into a troop transport channel.
Gu Fangchen's figure unexpectedly emerged from it and said leisurely:
"This is the revenge you mentioned..."
