Chapter 243, Four Gods and the Emperor
When he realized that something was wrong, Gu Hang handled the situation very decisively.
He cut off contact and stopped observing immediately.
However, the intense pain still surged into his head.
Unlike a normal headache, this feeling is more like the head is on fire.
He immediately stopped projecting his soul into the real world. In just a moment, his consciousness returned to his own body in the real world.
He felt much better now.
Although the pain was still there, it did not intensify.
He panted and slowly calmed down the damage to his spirituality. It was not until several hours later that the pain was finally reduced to a tolerable level and he successfully regained the ability to think.
Covering his head, Gu Hang knew that he had just done something suicidal.
Fortunately it didn't work.
Gu Hang was indeed a little careless.
He originally thought that after he had mastered a part of the origin of the real world, he should be considered one of the "insiders" of the real world. He was so proud that he opened his eyes and tried to look up to see the general appearance of the entire real world.
As a result, he was slapped in the face.
"Are you worthy enough to be considered one of us?"
The more "things" he saw, the more "things" appeared in front of him. Some were small and fragmentary, which didn't matter. But the five big ones, even if it was just the aura, image, and information they leaked casually, were unbearable for Gu Hang as an individual.
This is the source of the burning sensation that almost makes the head burn.
He had no doubt that if he had just gone insane and insisted on persisting a little longer, his end would be either to have his brain burned out or to become a madman.
Of course, from a side perspective, this can barely be considered good news: even if Gu Hang has mastered the origin of the real world, since he has not merged with it, he has not been fully accepted by the real world. He still belongs to the real world and is a "person".
However, since he has already suffered such a huge loss and taken such a big risk, Gu Hang will not let himself end up with nothing.
He carefully began to recall everything he had just seen.
Although it was only a fleeting glimpse, the image was firmly imprinted in his mind. Now, recalling it again, he began to analyze the image and what it symbolized.
First, there is a completely disordered and violent wave that occupies most of the entire picture, with countless colors mixed together, entangled, twisted, and rolling. This should be the abyss of hell, or the original appearance of the entire real world.
Pure, chaotic, disordered energy. It is consumed all the time, but also strengthened all the time. The real world is using it, and it in turn receives "rewards" from the real world.
And in these chaotic spots of light, there are patches of monotonous "pure colors". Those lights have different tones and sizes, but Gu Hang can feel that those "places" have a very similar nature to the "Storm Kingdom" he controls.
Gu Hang guessed that those were actually one kingdom of God after another, symbolizing one lesser god after another in the subspace.
These lesser gods can be roughly divided into two categories: one is independent, and the other is dependent on other gods.
Being independent does not necessarily mean being strong; it may also mean that other bigwigs look down on you.
For example, the original angry owl.
The Storm Kingdom it left behind was considered very small among the many "kingdoms of God" that Gu Hang saw at a glance.
But no matter which lesser god, whether independent or dependent on other big guys, in the end, they cannot be compared with the four gods who have the largest "territory" in the real world.
Four... Gu Hang didn’t know their names, nor did he dare to know them.
These four names are definitely not a secret. On the contrary, every being that enters the real world, no matter what it is, will be told by the real world in a 'merciful' way, the names of the four most terrifying and most unprovoked beings in this lower world that is even more vast than the boundless universe.
But anyone with a little common sense would know that these four names should never be known to mortals; even if one does not have common sense, but has a little psychic strength, one would be warned by the psychic instinct.
This is poisonous knowledge. Once you know it, you will be not far from being captured by those four beings.
But Gu Hang saw it.
Of course, it was not seen directly, but I saw that the kingdoms of these four gods were each covered with different colors.
One of them is that it is generally yellow-green in color. Overall, this area exudes a strong atmosphere of corruption and despair.
This feeling seemed familiar to Gu Hang.
He remembered.
More than half a year ago, in the incident that nearly led to a demonic disaster in Qinggu Province, the 'kind father' that the Natural Salvation Society believed in seemed to be this person; the Great Unclean One that appeared later was also subordinate to this person.
From this perspective, Gu Hang can be said to have had dealings with this kind father before.
In addition to this benevolent father, there are three other powerful kingdoms of God that are no less powerful than him.
The second one is scarlet, filled with the will of tyranny and destruction, as if there is a tyrant who kills people and makes blood flow like a river, sitting on a brass throne, with skulls piled up like a mountain and blood flowing like a river below him.
The third color is purple, which is full of desire and confusion. From the luxurious palace comes the disgusting yet extremely tempting music.
The fourth is blue, which is filled with mystery and coldness. It seems to contain countless knowledge waiting for people to explore. Under absolute rationality, it represents absolute madness.
These four 'things' are the four most powerful and unrivaled gods in the abyss of Hell.
However, the relationship between them seemed not to be very good. In a quick glance, Gu Hang could see that their kingdoms of God were intertwined, eroding each other, and fighting each other.
Gu Hang didn’t know whether his guess was correct, but in his opinion, the struggle between the four gods seemed to be more worthy of their attention than invading the real world.
If this is true, then this is great news. If the four gods unite as one and attack together, it will be a disaster for all living beings in the real world.
In addition to these four, the fifth existence that Gu Hang saw was no weaker than them, and even slightly stronger, and he also occupied a corner of the real world.
That place seemed to be shrouded by a cold sun.
Compared with the real cold sun, the blue sun in the Storm God's country is as insignificant as a grain of sand.
That cold sun did not make people feel warm, but at least it was not as warm as the Four Gods' Realm. Just one glance at it could make one feel boundless malice.
Under the cover of the cold sun, a large area in the real world was shining with golden light. Although there was no warmth in the brilliant light, it supported a space with order. The network structure fixed the vast sea of psychic energy in that area, operating according to the will of a great existence.
In this regard, Gu Hang instantly had a clear guess: That was the emperor's spiritual network!
The first theoretical course that almost every legal psychic takes is about this: Ten thousand years ago, the ascended human emperor established the spiritual network, which allowed humans to use psychic energy much more safely than in the dark ages of the past.
And now, Gu Hang has witnessed the truth of this statement with his own eyes.
He had no doubt that the magnificent golden network was the kingdom of the Human Emperor, the spiritual network he had built.
Perhaps, just like those four terrifying evil gods, the Emperor himself also sits on the Golden Throne, gazing at his people and glaring at all enemies of mankind.
…
Gu Hang was very cautious when analyzing the scene in his mind.
The effect of [Iron Will] was always in effect, fearing that he would suffer serious damage just by recalling this scene. Moreover, he was already prepared to immediately clear this part of the memory from his mind if there was any problem.
However, his caution was not used. Nothing unusual happened during the recollection.
Although he could not guarantee that the information he recalled, understood, and analyzed was all correct, at least Gu Hang now had a rough understanding of the general situation of the real world.
To put it bluntly, it is the Emperor against the Four Gods; the Four Gods are hostile to each other, especially the red tyrant and the purple desire, the yellow-green father and the blue mystery, and the internal fighting between them is no less serious than the external struggle; a bunch of countless lesser gods tremble under the five existences, and either rely on the four gods among them - Gu Hang did not see any lesser gods who relied on the Emperor - or are weak or remote independent ones.
The space occupied by the Emperor, the Four Gods, and all the lesser gods combined is less than half of the entire real world.
The remaining half is pure, chaotic, twisted, and empty space, filled with terrible subspace waves. When it becomes turbulent, no matter what it is, it will probably tremble. Smaller gods may be like a small boat in the sea, which can be overturned by the waves; powerful ones like the Emperor and the Four Gods may have to retract their tentacles and be cautious when the waves are raging.
This is the pattern of the real world.
Apart from this big picture, Gu Hang also discovered one thing: the real world seemed to have a lot of malice towards this special 'second-rate god' like him.
Although he secretly glanced at the Four Gods and gave himself a headache for several hours, the Four Gods seemed to ignore him, just like a giant would not care if an ant thousands of miles away glanced at him; the lesser gods around him who were closer should not have noticed him.
But the part of that mighty subspace wave close to his own kingdom of God seemed to be uneasy.
Gu Hang sensed malice.
Although he didn't know where this malice came from or how it would manifest itself, it was not reassuring news after all.
But Gu Hang soon stopped dwelling on this matter.
On the one hand, he could fight against the enemy with his generals and block the water with earth. On the other hand, he seemed to have found a way: he could control the Kingdom of Storms and float in the raging waves of the subspace.
So, he set a route, trying to make the small boat of 'Storm God Kingdom' float towards the one that was shining with golden light among the five divine realms.
He didn't intend to integrate into it, he just wanted to place the Kingdom of God as close to the area suspected to be the Emperor's Spiritual Network as possible.
Perhaps, the emperor would feel sorry for Gu Hang and help him?
Of course, this is a bit far-fetched. The cold sun is so majestic that it probably won't do anything easily.
But even if we can't help, being neighbors can help us avoid being attacked from all sides.
When Gu Hang looked over there, he saw only the golden spiritual network area, which showed no malice towards him.
However, it is still unknown how long it will take for the Storm God Kingdom to drift in the raging waves of the subspace to the vicinity of the spiritual network.
Just drift away slowly.
…
Human Empire, Eastern Universe, Pegasus Star Region, Black Arrow Star.
In this world filled with numerous small feudal countries where productivity is still at the level of the late feudal era, a war is breaking out in the city of Pinser, the capital of the Kingdom of Luman, the third largest country on the planet.
Lacroxia, who was in the middle of it, actually didn't quite understand the logic behind this war.
He has never been good at this kind of problem. He doesn't understand the causes and background of the war, nor does he understand what impact and changes the war will bring after it is over.
But he understood at least one thing:
"I am a soldier, and my duty is to complete the mission." Lacroxia said to Ms. Wang Qi seriously, "My current mission is to protect your safety and escort you to the outskirts of the city to join our main force. So, please cooperate with me."
Wang Qi was a little embarrassed: "Do you know that I am the mother of your governor?"
"Of course I know that. You are of noble status. I would rather die than not guarantee your safety."
"Then listen to me. We have to go back now and rescue the four caravan lords. Only if they are alive can we win. Staging a mutiny at the family meeting and directly endangering all the caravan lords will lead to the best settlement afterwards..."
Lacroxia shook her head and said, "Madam, I want to correct you on one point: I will protect your safety with my life, but I don't need to obey any of your orders. My mission is to protect your safety, not anyone else."
Wang Qi was furious: "Why don't you understand?!"
Lacrocha paused and continued, "I really don't understand why you noble people, who can spend all the savings that ordinary people can't save in their entire lives in one banquet, are killing each other to death. I also don't understand what impact the survival of the four fleet masters you mentioned will have on the current situation. But to be honest, I don't want to understand that at all."
"I am the Governor's soldier. I fight for the Governor. The mission the Governor has assigned to me is the highest order. The order is very clear: protect your life and safety. If the situation allows, I don't mind following your orders and doing something, but now, no. Turning back will seriously affect your safety."
Wang Qi was so angry that she wanted to say something else, but the next moment, her eyes changed drastically!
She saw a steel giant appear at the end of the alley.
She was not the kind of woman who would be frightened, but just as she was about to remind Lacrosse, the young soldier, who was probably younger than her son, took action first.
Lacroxia pushed Wang Qi and pushed the Governor's mother into the house with the door unlocked. At the same time, he turned around, dodged several rapid-fire 12.7 large-caliber bullets, and ran a few steps on the masonry wall, firing the grenade launcher in his hand at the same time!
