Chapter 608 Chongling God Religion (5400, the first update, ask for a monthly ticket!)

Just when Ian touched the Dead River Armed Forces, hazy mist swirls began to swirl in front of his eyes one after another.

Endless lights and shadows interweave with blurred phantom fragments, forming different worlds and omens one after another.

Unlike the prophetic dream, and the hazy prophecy eight years ago, this time, what appeared in front of Ian's eyes were real omens one after another.

And the first omen soon appeared in front of Ian.

It was a rather ordinary country tavern with a relatively clean signboard. The weeds at the entrance of the tavern were as tall as half a person, and there was even a huge hornet's nest on the tree next to it. Under the moist breath of the approaching rainy day, the bees anxiously Flying, disturbing the passing pedestrians.

It can be seen from the overly natural environment that this place is located in Nanling.

In particular, the hornet, which is half the size of a palm, is obviously a specialty of Nanling, just like the 'Nanling Big Flying Beetle', which is about the size of a shoe sole.

There were only a few drinkers in the tavern, chatting with each other. They gathered in their familiar corners, drinking cheap ale mixed with distilled dwarf spirits, and discussing some things that were either short-sighted or impassioned. topic.

He could vaguely hear keywords such as 'The Grand Duchy of Thorin' and 'Dead Zone'.

"Have you heard? The Grand Duchy of Thorin is now completely dead!"

"I know! My uncle has an apprentice who is from Grand Duke Sorin's side. He came back from his hometown a few days ago and was completely numb. She was a shrewd little girl, but now she doesn't eat all day long..."

"It's really scary. I heard that the imperial capital used some top-secret extinction-style spiritual weapon to directly kill all the people in the Grand Duchy? Feiyandi dare not approach it!"

"Although the Grand Duke's treason has made everyone worry and fear for a long time, but in the final analysis, it was still the territory and people of the empire... The imperial capital is so ruthless... If in the future..."

"Go, go, what nonsense are you talking about? We are all citizens of the empire, how can we eat that kind of weapon! Grand Duke Thorin is the one to blame for treason, and those who don't leave the Grand Duchy are equivalent to going to the dark with the Grand Duke. They deserve to die !"

"Your words don't sound like human words, do they? What do you mean you deserve to die? If you want you to leave your hometown, can you leave? What kind of beast is this..."

"You fucking..."

As in every tavern, there are always people talking and getting drunk.

Especially when talking about political topics, if you are not careful, you will pour out foul language, followed by a huge verbal battle or hand-to-hand fight.

But this time, there was no fight. It was just that the two arguing changed tables cursingly, and the drinkers at other tables followed the topic.

"Not to mention the Grand Duchy, even the cities around the Western Plains have become barren... It is said that in the middle of the night there, you can hear the wailing of ghosts!"

Now it turns directly to the topic of supernatural beings, and those who are talking are indeed a group of younger young people. They gathered together to chat mysteriously. One of the young businessmen took a sip of wine: "I was not a while ago. Did you go around with the caravan? I sneaked across the border and went to the Grand Duchy for a look!"

"As a result, I saw a super big hole at the original site of the border town I was very familiar with!"

"I don't know if the hole was dug out by people or collapsed. It is very deep, and there are gusts of hot wind blowing from it. Not to mention, it is similar to a hurricane cloud pillar, but it is very, very small."

"In the middle of the night, the sound from that hole is very similar to the howling of ghosts... Maybe that's the truth of ghosts' crying?"

"There is such a thing?" Others were also interested: "Is there no Great Rift Valley in the western region? And sure enough, I said there are no ghosts..."

The young businessman answered a few more questions, and the topic gradually deviated from the Grand Duchy to the news from Nanling itself.

"Have you heard, on the Agate Stone Plain, what is the name of the original Lai'an leader now? There is a new sect over there, what is it called... Zunling? Or Chongling? It is said that it is the same as that of Yanjiang Bian's ancestral beliefs are somewhat similar, but they advocate revenge and family happiness..."

"In short, there are many mountain people who are believers!"

Regarding this news, many people are cautious: "Where is the cult? Except for the four orthodox religions, don't believe in any other cults. If you cheat money, you may die!"

"Yeah, didn't my aunt believe in some kind of cult after she had a miscarriage last time? Now the family is destitute, and my uncle has run away. She was kind and made herself a ghost... really. Scary."

"Hey, I can't say that... You said that the Dragon Blessing Sect and the Iron Heart Sect are also very good..."

Obviously, the Dragon Worship Sect has a good influence in Nanling, and its reputation is also quite good, so no one refuted this point: "But they will also start a natural disaster war. These sects, the farther away from us, the better!"

A visionary world of portents fades away.

Although for many people, these unexplained omens did not bring them much information, but for Ian who already knew a lot, this omen phantom was full of déjà vu.

The prophecy this time... is obviously based on the period when he returned to Nanling as the lord after leaving the subspace labyrinth.

Moreover, it should be the future of oneself that takes the dead king as the path.

At that time, Grand Duke Sorin decisively launched the Plan of the Dead King, and led his people into the center of the earth at the fastest speed. The entire Grand Duchy of Sorin has become a dead zone in the eyes of ordinary people, and there are basically not many living people.

Even Fei Yandi felt that the Grand Duke's methods were inconceivable, and did not dare to cross his territory rashly - the empire knew all this well, so naturally it was impossible to counteract Grand Duke Sorin, and simply let him do it The dead king's plan.

And myself... If there are no accidents, the Chongling Sect over there led by Laian was created by himself.

It is impossible to develop a sect as a lord at a fast pace.

Advocating revenge and family happiness... Although it sounds strange, it does meet the two consensuses of the dead king's "stability and revenge".

"Interesting... There is more than one harbinger fragment that can be seen this time."

Ian deeply felt that his soul was drifting in the river of time in accordance with the power of the foreseeable horizon, leaping over one branch of possibility after another.

He can know that he can see many fragments of the future... either clearly, or vaguely, or a simple possibility, or it may be the 'concrete' of a certain guess in his mind.

The first omen was over, and his soul sank into the blue river once more.

Ian sees fragments of a second future.

If someone asks, who is the strongest person in this world, then people in every country will say without hesitation that they are the fifth-level powerhouse in their own country.

And if it is a country without fifth-level powerhouses, the answer of their citizens should be the fifth-level leaders of the major sects.

That's it.The strongest may not be able to decide, but these answers themselves represent which forces are enough to be called "first-rate" in Terra - only forces with fifth-level powerhouses can be called great forces. Has enough international influence to affect the entire continent.

Compared with the leaders of many big countries, the leaders of the major sects are even more special.

Because in addition to their respective bloodlines and true form inheritance, they also have unique spiritual power...the 'clergyman' who can be stably created under certain special circumstances, and a 'prophet' in a certain sense.

Only when the two conditions of having a prophet and a unique spiritual power inheritance are met at the same time is the basis of the 'Orthodox Church'.

Those who are not satisfied, even the Dragon Worship Cult, which can provide special blood inheritance, and the Iron Heart Church and Shadow Market Cult, which can provide special spiritual power, can only be 'cults'.

And in recent years, the "Spiritual Religion" that has developed rapidly in Nanling and the Western Territory, theoretically, should also be a "cult"... Even, it seems that it can't even get the inheritance and spiritual power. , Even why it can develop to such a large size is quite puzzling.

However, just some time ago, Chongling Shenjiao showed the ability to endow its core members with 'spiritual energy'.

And... the power of the prophet.

Terra 778, January 9st.

It has only been two weeks since the grand ceremony held by the Chongling God Sect at Guyan Peak, and the public opinion, whether local or international, has not yet calmed down.

It should be noted that a local sect that can provide the inheritance of the true shape of the blood is already strong enough to attract many ordinary people to join—even if it is the Dragon Worship Sect who bluntly accepts only dragon blood as its core members, all other ordinary people will accept it. You can only try your luck to see if you can adapt to the sect of Dragon Blood, and it can be regarded as a strong force in Terra.

After all, the sects of this world really have 'divine power' that can be bestowed.

However, being able to provide bloodline true form inheritance and being able to provide 'spiritual energy inheritance' are completely two levels of power.

The former is equivalent to only giving a seed, and what it will look like in the end will require years of hard practice, and it also depends on talent and resources.

And psionic power, once obtained, is power, and it is different from a talent that is extremely difficult to change and a resource that is difficult to obtain.

Since one can obtain psychic powers, it means that one must have relevant talents, and one does not need resources to grow up, it just needs to be relatively illusory, and everyone has the 'desire' and 'dream' of confidence.

At most, that is the associated 'creed'.

No matter how complicated the conditions are, a power that can grant psionic power will be respected by all nations as long as it has this ability.

But just a while ago, the Spiritual Religion, which was originally regarded as a "strange native religion in the Nanling area" by the empire and Feiyandi, actually gave their core members, and There are two different psychic powers called "Knights of Protection" and "Avenging Heralds".

——Two kinds!
The spiritual energy research of Chongling Sect is obviously beyond the expectations of everyone in Terra, especially the two kinds of spiritual energy are very practical.

The 'Shelter Field' of the 'Asylum Knight' can spread out a light blue spherical shield centered on oneself, and all the people inside the shield, no matter what kind of attack they encounter, the power of the attack will be offset by nearly half .

Although it is not like most shield powers, which can be harmless before the shield value is consumed, this kind of protection ability of strengthening defense and deflecting attacks has a miraculous effect when facing a variety of different attacks in positional battles. It lasts for a long time, unlike most shield powers, which can only block the first wave of damage at most.

This sanctuary field can even be upgraded - some highly talented sublimators of the Spiritualism can directly advance it to the second stage when they awaken this spiritual ability.

The shelter field at this stage can not only protect teammates, but also strengthen all people in the field, so that their strength, physical fitness and all-round resistance can be improved, and even the bullets and arrows fired in the field can It will be attached with a little psychic power, which can damage ghost-type enemies.

The "Revenge Heart" of the "Revenge Messenger" is more mysterious. What has been shown so far is that it can deprive the experimental subject of the criminal's physical strength and bless him.

According to Chongling God Sect's own introduction, the enemies locked by the Heart of Vengeance are those individuals who have hurt civilians and members of the sect. The Messenger of Vengeance can lock them within a certain range and extract their blood through attacks. Vitality as 'Retribution'.

In other words, a real, pure damage that ignores defense.

——Isn't this the 'ghost armor' and 'ghost'?

When he saw this, it was different from the past. Ian, who could actively think when prophesying, couldn't help complaining in his heart: "It's basically taking out the ability of my dead king and changing the name. Is this also called giving spiritual power?"

"Hmm... I'm not wrong. Perhaps the inherited psionic powers of the major sects are essentially dismantled in this way. This is indeed a very meaningful research direction. I don't know if I came up with it, or Albert came up with it."

The Prophet nodded, and he accepted his future research direction.

He could have saved more than a year by not wasting time in the wrong direction.

The endowment of these two abilities alone is enough to prove the orthodoxy of the Chongling God Sect—although it is far from being comparable to the four orthodox religions, at least the empire will never try to destroy it again, and it will not cause trouble for the Chongling God Sect .

Who knows if there is room for cooperation in the future?As long as the Chongling God Sect does not go too far, crosses the boundary set by the empire for the various sects, and makes the local lords feel that they are overstepping the rules... the empire will not take the initiative to cause trouble.

No one expected that the local lord, Ian, was the priest of Chongling God Sect.

And these two abilities are the best explanations of the Chongling God Sect's teachings of 'protection' and 'revenge', which have attracted a large number of local people to believe in them.

Of course, if it was just this, it would not be able to attract the attention of so many forces.

After all, in today's world, there are few organizations that can bestow psychic powers, but it is not impossible. A powerhouse who may be hiding behind the scenes.

Dragon worship has another ally.Most of them feel that way.

Those who can develop the inheritance of psionic power are basically strong people around the fourth energy level-and to be able to create a new sect within the traditional sphere of influence of the Dragon Worship, there is no doubt that there is the tacit approval of the Dragon Worship.

In fact, they all thought that the Chongling Sect was a vest of the Dragon Worship Sect.

It was a prophecy about natural disasters that really made all the strong and powerful people face up to the Spiritualism.

He predicted that the Half Moon Lake in Canaan Moore would usher in a natural disaster. If you don't want to lose your life, you should evacuate the local people as soon as possible.

In this regard, the forces of all parties did not ridicule, disbelieve, or express any 'suspicious attitude'.

Because there are really prophets in this world.

Therefore, they dare not believe this kind of important event.

In particular, as a force that has obvious technological advantages and is now on the rise, why does the Chongling God Sect insist on releasing such a peaceful and powerful sect at the risk of being wiped out by many big forces as a "cult" after the failure of the prophecy? Does it have much to do with prophecies?
Even the Huaiguang Church sent envoys to ask cautiously, is the Chongling God Sect just a sensationalist, or is it really aware of it?The Huaiguang prophecy did not predict this natural disaster, unless it was a natural disaster...

There is about another prophet.

But here lies the problem - it is impossible for a prophet to predict a prophet. Even if there is a prophet in Chongling God, why does he predict a natural disaster related to the prophet?
In this regard, the reverence of the Chongling God Sect even added related prophecies.

He said that this natural disaster is related to the real dragon.

In this way, it’s not just the Four Orthodox Churches and Canaan Moor that are paying attention to the Spiritual Religion—even the true dragons who live high in the sky and on Orbital Dragon Island have cast doubtful eyes on the earth .

——Related to the real dragon?

Could it be that……

The instigator of this natural disaster is a...'Dragon Prophet'?
Since the Chongling God Sect dared to say such words, which obviously blocked the future of the sect on this prophecy, Canaan Moore naturally did not dare not to make preparations.

They relocated all the local residents, and sent several guard corps to blockade the surrounding area, and there were even strongmen of the fourth energy level in the surrounding area.

And Canaan Moore's fifth energy level powerhouse, the storm master above Takagi, 'Eternal Wind' Awei Liwen is also always betting on this.

And then... when the prophecy was confirmed.

Terra 779, January 2st.

Canaan Moore Half Moon Lake.

Amidst the exclamations and roars of all the guards, an extremely violent earthquake suddenly occurred in Banyue Lake, which was unusually calm and had been inspected several times without finding any abnormal signs.

If that was the case, it wouldn't shock the well-trained elves, and the accompanying fourth-level powerhouses also had the ability to deflect and guide the slow release of earthquake power.

But just when Gugkayev, the fourth energy level powerhouse of Canaan Moore, known as "Blade Mountain", was about to rush into the bottom of Half Moon Lake, an incredible geological change happened—accompanied by a skyrocketing Flames and smoke rose from the sky, and a golden-red lava fire column erupted from the bottom of the lake, and a giant volcano with a height of 4000 meters rose directly from Banyue Lake, the largest freshwater inland lake on Terra Continent!
The blade mountain was directly blown away by the force of the volcanic eruption, most likely it floated to the outer layer of Terra's atmosphere, and a huge amount of lake water was evaporated, forming an extremely thick cloud layer around, and the tsunami-like shock wave shook these hot The rain and storm hit the empty elf territory around.

In just an instant, Glo, the city of mountains and trees originally built on the mountainside of the Faft Mountains, was completely destroyed, and the ancient stargazing tower built on the mountain broke with a bang, and was swept away by the terrible storm. into the clouds.

Lightning and thunder, howling winds, and volcanic ash mixed with rainwater turned into hot acidic mud, suffocating or roasting all creatures in the enveloped area.

Everything is like the end.

And among the struggling guards, some people struggled to look up at the sky.

Then, he let out a desperate sound.

"dragon!"

That's a train.

A dark golden dragon emerged from a volcanic eruption, and then rushed straight to the sky and galloped towards the outer space!
