After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1283 The Essence of the Battle between Man and God

He Lingchuan also frowned. This was indeed a bad thing.

"Then how did Guardian Yang defeat the Zhao army?"

"I was not at the front line, so I don't know the whole process." The temple keeper had rested enough and stood up and said, "But the Zhao army attacked Shizhoutou for only three days and then withdrew. Liu Chengshou probably heard that Shizhoutou had been defended, so he led his troops back, but was blocked outside the city by Yang Shoubei and was not allowed to enter."

"I heard that after Liu Chengshou tried to persuade them several times but to no avail, he ordered an attack on the city." The temple keeper spread his hands and said, "The two sides started fighting, and they are still fighting now."

"Which side has the upper hand?"

"That's not clear." The temple keeper was also worried.

He Lingchuan asked him: "Which side do you hope will win?"

The temple keeper sneered twice and said nothing more.

He didn't even know the two masked men, so of course he wouldn't say it out loud to give people a chance to criticize him. But He Lingchuan knew his attitude by looking at his expression.

"How many residents are there in Stonehead?"

The temple keeper refused to answer this question.

After He Lingchuan finished questioning, the two men put on their veils again and left Puin Temple.

Both of them stood in the open space in front of the temple, basking in the sunshine.

He Lingchuan immediately saw that a faint golden line was shining on Dong Rui's body, and the end of the line extended behind him.

As expected, the god Puin also secretly paid attention to them, trying to monitor their whereabouts.

The two men rode away from Bayuan Township and came to the suburbs, whereupon He Lingchuan drew his sword and cut the golden thread.

That was why he chose a sunny day to visit the temple.

"Puin God is very cunning and didn't reveal any useful information." Dong Rui felt that the two dragon pillars were not worth it. Although it was not expensive for He Lingchuan to make this thing, why should it be cheap for these little gods?

He Lingchuan said, "It is very careful. But the answers to these questions are still very valuable when viewed together."

"How to say?"

"Narakutian desperately tried to steal nightmare energy; nearly eighty gods died, more than the total number in the past hundred years; Miaozhantian snatched Yao Kingdom from Kshatriya; Lingxu gods asked the vassal states on earth to increase the intensity of the war; this is just the tip of the iceberg we have heard of, and there are endless conflicts and contradictions in the divine world that we don't know about. Putting all these together, what is going on?"

Dong Rui pulled the reins and asked: "Is there a sudden chaos in the sky?"

"What is the root cause of the various problems that have caused chaos in the world over the past few thousand years?"

"The crux?" Dong Rui thought for a while, "Do you want to say that the gods are disturbing the human world?"

"It's a fight for resources." He Lingchuan said in a deep voice, "As spiritual energy declines, immortals have to fight for it. As spiritual energy declines, products are no longer abundant, and the land can no longer support so many lives, so wars become the norm."

War is always the best way to quickly eliminate human lives.

"As the two worlds grow, the other grows. As the spiritual energy of the human world decreases, the nightmare energy of the divine world becomes abundant." He Lingchuan continued, "But now, all the gods are desperately trying to seize the nightmare energy..."

"Ahem." Dong Rui reminded him, "In the past few years, less than a hundred gods have fallen. The nightmare energy in the divine world is still far more abundant than that in the human world."

"I know, but don't forget how much the gods need nightmare energy. And the essence of nightmare energy is also spiritual energy."

Ever since the creation of Tianluo Star, the gods and the human world have been fighting for spiritual energy.

"Look, why did the immortals disappear from the world back then? Wasn't it because the spiritual energy in the world became increasingly thin, making it impossible for them to survive? Giant whales cannot survive in the mudflats." He Lingchuan talked freely, "Let me ask you, under what circumstances did people start hoarding supplies in large quantities?"

"...War and famine?" Dong Rui frowned for a long time, "If it was just because of panic, it wouldn't last for several years, right?"

Excessive hoarding caused by temporary panic is often short-lived.

"No matter what the specific reason is, once a hoarding competition occurs, no matter how abundant the supplies are, they will not be enough for distribution. This is the same in heaven and on earth. Therefore, the value of the Xinglong Pillar has increased fivefold." He Lingchuan confirmed, "It's such a rare opportunity. It would be a pity if we don't get involved."

"What are you going to do?"

"You also heard what God Puin said just now. The gods of Lingxu asked Yao Nation to do something. Coincidentally, we are in the Shining Gold Plain." He Lingchuan analyzed, "The reason why the gods chose to create chaos here is that the Shining Gold Plain has a huge population but no strong government. They will benefit the most from war. Increasing the total amount of nightmare energy can ease the competition for resources in the God Realm."

"We want to cause some trouble for the God Realm - just a little - there are two ways, either to calm down the fighting on the Shining Gold Plain, or to prevent the nightmare energy here from being absorbed by Tianluo Star. As long as the nightmare energy obtained by the God Realm is reduced, it will force the gods to fight for resources more fiercely, causing greater casualties." He Lingchuan said slowly.
"Just like what the gods have done to the human world over the past few thousand years."

He looked in the direction of Shizuotou: "That's right, I also have something to do here."

"What should we do now?" This is almost becoming Dong Rui's catchphrase.

"Let's split up." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "You go to Shizhoutou to get the battle report, and I'll go back to Jucheng to call for help."

Then he told him his plan.

"By the way, didn't you get a lot of gadgets in Qu Yu's underground palace? They can come in handy this time."

Dong Rui's eyebrows were raised higher and higher, and the look in his eyes became more and more strange: "It sounds fun, are you sure you want to do this?"

He Lingchuan laughed and tapped the horse's belly. The horse galloped away. Dong Rui only heard a sentence floating in the distance:

"From now on, we're going to mind our own business."

The weather suddenly changed in the evening, and two thunderstorms came before the sun set.

……

Crack! A loud thunderclap appeared in the sky, illuminating the surrounding area.

Shoubei Yang stood on the city gate, braving the heavy rain, looking at the woods not far away.

There had been a fire in the forest before, but now it was extinguished by the rain and it was pitch black. But he knew very well that Liu Chengshou's army was stationed in the forest, waiting for the next opportunity to attack the city.

The other party will not give up unless they are defeated.

His face was as gloomy as a rainy night. His confidant beside him comforted him: "Don't worry. Even Zhao Guangzhi and his cannibal army were scared off by you. How can Liu Chengshou's mob of people capture Shizhoutou?"

"Zhao Guangzhi has two elite troops under his command. They charge into battle bravely and fearlessly, but they did not show up this time. Perhaps it is because they are not suitable for siege warfare?" Yang Shoubei's expression did not show any relief. "His performance is not as good as the legend says. There may be other reasons. But Liu Chengshou is determined to get the Stone Helmet Head and will not be easily scared off by us. Besides, the city is short of supplies."

On the night when Liu Chengshou attacked, they had run out of arrows and had to go out of the city at night to pick up some, and they were almost attacked by Liu Chengshou's troops.

After Liu Chengshou learned this information, the ground in front of the city became cleaner than ever before.
