A figure was walking down from the starry sky.
He was a young man with ordinary looks, his expression and eyes were extremely calm, but the fallen half-curtain of stars was frozen in the air, just like the robes he wore, indicating his extraordinaryness.
The brilliant light gathered around him, dazzling, but anyone who saw him at first glance would only notice him.
It was as if compared to him, everything else in the world pales in comparison.
Everyone on the battlefield couldn't help but look up, and a sudden realization came to their minds.
That's a saint!
Saint, coming from heaven!
The saint who protects the country of the Great Zhou is named "Donghuang".
This is not his real name, and the reason for his real name is no longer traceable. Perhaps even he himself has forgotten it.
But because so many people call him that, the two words "Donghuang" can be used as his name.
The Great Zhou Dynasty respected the east, and in order to form an alliance with the Eastern Emperor who had not yet become a saint, the founding emperor Taizu swore an oath on the easternmost Taiyuan Mountain, promising half of the country, so that the Zhou Dynasty would recognize his position as equal to the emperor for thousands of years thereafter.
Naturally, a practitioner of this level may not care much about worldly power, but there is one thing he cannot refuse.
That is "national destiny".
Even if the emperor of a country is just a mortal, as long as he is crowned as emperor and has the support of "national destiny", he will be almost "immortal".
As long as the country does not perish, the emperor will not die.
vice versa.
Just like Emperor Su Yu of Liang, when his country was destroyed, he was just an ordinary man and was easily beheaded on the dragon throne.
For the practitioners of the upper three grades, the benefits of "national destiny" are naturally more than that. Giving away half of the "national destiny" with an oath is enough to make him willing to guard the Zhou Kingdom.
After the Taiyuan Alliance, the sage Donghuang, who has protected the country for generations, came into being.
Huo Hengxuan stood on the ruins of the imperial city, looking directly at the saint above him, sneering:
"Stop pretending."
"My Liang State ancestor sacrificed his life without a care, and yet you couldn't even be seriously injured? Are you forcing yourself to release this pressure just to save face?"
"If that's the case, then you, a saint, have lost some of your worth."
Donghuang stood in the void and paused when he heard the words, but his expression did not change at all.
He lowered his eyes to look at Huo Hengxuan, frowned, and his eyes showed doubt:
"Sacrifice an entire country and a saint, what exactly do you want to do?"
Huo Hengxuan stretched out his hand and a sword flew into his hand, pointing it at Donghuang: "This is ridiculous! Pah!"
He spat, "Didn't your Zhou Kingdom invade us with the intention of destroying our Liang Kingdom? Why are you asking us what we want to do now? We are just trying to save our country from collapse and kill the enemy!"
"You should ask yourself why you are aiding and abetting evil."
Dong Huang pondered for a moment and shook his head:
"That's indeed the case, but... it all started because Su Yu insulted my friend with his words."
The person he was referring to was Taizu, the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with whom he had made the Taiyuan Alliance.
Dong Huang stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes deep: "Su Yu has always been foolish and unjust, without any strategy or wisdom, and it is quite common for him to speak without restraint."
"The two countries have been at odds for years, so it's only natural for them to use this as an excuse to launch a war."
"Besides, Ji Chengtian heard about the elixir of immortality and was eager to take action. He entrusted me with the task. Due to the alliance, it was difficult for me to refuse."
"But now I find something is wrong——"
"Since Su Yu has already obtained the elixir of immortality, why would he do such a self-destructive act?"
"I thought that no matter how stupid he was, he should understand that walls have ears and it is a crime to possess a treasure."
Huo Hengxuan laughed and was not polite to his former boss at all:
"What if he's just that stupid?"
Dong Huang just shook his head and said, "This shouldn't be the case."
Huo Hengxuan deliberately said: "Those who cross the sea of suffering and reach the shore of Tao can escape from the cycle of reincarnation, understand the past and the present, and hear everything they see."
He grinned, "Why, you can't figure out the answer to this question, Eastern Emperor Saint?"
Dong Huang was silent for a long time before speaking.
"There are only two things in this world now that I cannot understand."
"One is the Way of Heaven, and the other is Canliao."
He looked at Huo Hengxuan: "Your plan... is between the two."
This time, it was Huo Hengxuan's turn to remain silent.
Dong Huang added, "When I say it shouldn't happen, I'm not referring to Su Yu's stupidity, but... there shouldn't be such a thing as an elixir of immortality in this world."
"The Way of Heaven is to reduce the excess and replenish the deficiency. If there is something that can neither increase nor decrease, then it has already transcended the Way of Heaven."
“But it exists.”
"It confuses me to no end."
"Huo Hengxuan, are you willing to help me solve this problem?"
Dong Huang extended his hand, and the starry sky turned. "You achieved sainthood by relying on the Living Nation, but it was only a fleeting moment. Your inner strength is completely depleted. After this battle, you will undoubtedly die, and you will only be able to re-enter the cycle of reincarnation, and everything will be in vain."
"If you tell me the answer, I can help you solve the mystery in the womb."
Huo Hengxuan's answer was...
He raised his sword, and his aura had truly stabilized at the Dao'an realm.
Take a deep breath, the sound is like thunder and bell, through the principle of "protecting the country", it explodes in the ears of every Liang citizen.
"Today, I will use the death of the saint to send off the millions of souls who have died in Liang State!"
Inside and outside the city, the weapons beside the thousands of dead bodies let out long roars at the same time, flew up and gathered into a long river, and the sword energy was like a rainbow.
Donghuang sighed deeply, and the starry sky behind him turned, and the dazzling light was like the Milky Way pouring down three thousand feet from the ground.
"boom!"
The stars in the sky are flowing backwards, and the sword rainbow on the ground is rising into the sky.
