Then he remembered that this was a world imbued with spirit and power. Perhaps these were not myths, but rather a true epic!
Thinking of this, he then thought of the cultivation methods for warriors who cultivate battle qi.
We will fight against heaven and earth, and never yield!
Therefore, the deity worshipped by the Song dynasty was the hero god!
Connecting these lines, does this mean the Hero God is a high-level combat cultivator?
This is not a myth at all, but a record of the deeds of our ancestors.
Maybe half and half... Chen Jing thought, there are myths, fictional accounts, and those that are real?
He continued flipping through the pages.
...
In the living room, Mr. Pan Fengyu was getting impatient. He wondered why the young man hadn't come out to ask questions yet, and wondered if he had fallen asleep.
Having confirmed through his own methods that Chen Jing was still diligently studying, Pan Fengyu thought for a moment and realized that perhaps he had asked for too much money and the boy couldn't afford it. He decided to ask him again next time he came to class, and a feeling of sympathy and heartache welled up in his heart.
Next time I give a lecture, I'll pretend I didn't remember the time and give him a little more time. Pan Fengyu thought to himself, then ordered a servant to bring over a plate of pastries. He ate a few himself and told the servant to take the rest to Chen Jing.
...
Seeing the servant bring over the pastries, Chen Jing asked, "Are these... chargeable?"
The servant tried his best to keep his expression from changing too much, saying:
"It was the master who treated you to this meal; it was free."
Chen Jing quickly thanked the servant, and after the servant left, he took a bite and felt that he hadn't eaten anything so delicious in a long time.
He wanted to continue eating, but when he thought of his younger brother and sister, he wrapped them in the cloth bag he usually carried when he went hunting and tied it around his waist.
Afterwards, following Mr. Pan's instructions, Chen Jing continued reading the later parts of the book of myths and legends...
The last hero god was born in the Song Dynasty.
He started as an ordinary mortal, a militiaman. After the Xia Dynasty suddenly attacked the border, he used his wisdom and courage to lead the border residents of three villages to escape the massacre. He led a group of mercenaries, herdsmen and bandits, which was not even an army, to intercept the Xia Dynasty's ghost army, defeated a regiment of skeleton knights, and became a champion marquis.
Champion Marquis! Chen Jing was shocked. He was a battle cultivator who obtained spiritual energy through his own will?
That matches up! Hero God is the name of a high-level combat cultivator!
The book doesn't elaborate much on the meaning of "Champion Marquis," but only continues to tell the story of this hero.
...In the "Battle of the Silver Banner," he killed three gods in succession with his mortal body, earning the title of "King Killer," and became a hero god after the war.
...Throughout history, there have only been three "king killers," all of whom were given the title of "the king's black hand."
The mastermind! Chen Jing was somewhat taken aback when he saw another familiar word.
Chen Jing continued scrolling down and saw his ending.
...He was known as the "King of Miracles" and disappeared at the end of the War of Ruins.
"Miracle King," Chen Jing frowned, as if something had come to mind.
This is a forbidden faith in Ash City!
When Chen Jing was young, he had fragmented memories of participating in the temple fair activities of the Miracle King.
But now, apart from a few statues, no religious organizations that worship the Miracle King remain.
His brow furrowed slightly.
In Ash City, only the true ruler of Ash City has the qualifications and power to do this.
The mastermind Lu Gang!
He was certainly not the king-slayer or the hero-god, but a traitor who usurped the title and sided with the enemy.
He is destroying the faith that the former Song dynasty once held.
He was performing a blood sacrifice.
His subordinates' titles most likely originated from the "Xia Dynasty" priests who cultivated corpses.
That guess was indeed correct... Chen Jing closed the book.
Black Hand Lu Gang is an agent of the Xia Dynasty, and he rules this city in the former Song Dynasty.
Then, another question came to mind.
Why did Pan Fengyu ask him to read this book first?
