Chapter 2229 There Will Be Successors (Bonus Chapter of 3000 Words)
Even the most powerful ancient gods must still abide by their inherent laws. Once their divine soul is shattered, it is shattered. After that, they will unleash even greater power unless they detonate another powerful treasure.
He Lingchuan was the first to recover from his shock:
"He shattered his own divinity? That all-consuming black hole is the manifestation of the shattered divine essence of death?"
Recalling what I saw yesterday, Mi Tian was initially at a disadvantage in the battle in the sea of consciousness and was about to be dragged into the sea of mist by the Dragon God, but suddenly he stood up again and became very powerful.
In the end, the Dragon God had no choice but to perish together with Him.
The methods Mi Tian used to turn the tide of the battle were truly extraordinary.
“That’s right, or rather, He used His divine power as a last resort.” General Red nodded. “According to Mi Tian’s understanding of the laws, the divine power of death contains the most extreme destructive power. Only by releasing such power can we hope to truly shake and destroy the Dragon God.”
They simply couldn't imagine how terrifying a desperate, all-or-nothing struggle could be.
He Lingchuan and Xu Shichu exchanged a glance and couldn't help but ask, "The Dragon God... has it really perished?"
No one could believe it.
That's the Dragon God, who experienced the ancient war, crashed into the Tianluo Star, lived in the Dafanghu for more than three thousand years, and fought a great battle with Mitian!
Who could believe that He passed away so quietly?
General Hong paused for a moment, organizing his thoughts.
“I think it’s not accurate to describe it as ‘extinction’,” she said slowly. “Even the vast sky can no longer be considered ‘extinction’.”
Xu Shichu seemed lost in thought, while He Lingchuan recalled what the Dragon God had said during the battle in the sea of consciousness:
Neither born nor die, neither still nor extinct!
"In the final battle, Mi Tian knew he was powerless to reverse the situation, so he simply shattered his divine core and released all the power of stripping and extraction contained within it, attempting a desperate gamble." The self-destruction of his divine soul and the shattering of his divine core were Mi Tian's attempt to fight to the death.
“Deprivation and detachment,” He Lingchuan murmured. “The Dragon God once told Lord Zhong that Mi Tian’s understanding of life is that order resists disorder; his understanding of death is the opposite: disorder defeats order, negative pressure exceeds positive, and therefore everything will eventually perish.”
Therefore, the process of death, whether fast or slow, is essentially a process in which energy such as strength, vitality, and nutrition is extracted.
A divine essence is the embodiment and manifestation of a god's/demon's understanding of power. In the final battle, Mi Tian shattered the Death Godhood to unleash its most violent characteristics in a short time, aiming to completely extract and strip away the energy from General Hong's sea of consciousness, whether it belonged to the Dragon God or Zhong Wuhan!
Xu Shichu said, "The temperament of this ancient god of death is truly extreme."
“It is said that during the time of the Three Holy Gods, the relationship between the Ancient God of Death and the other two Ancient Gods was not very harmonious.” General Red continued, “Fortunately, the Dragon God was ultimately a step ahead of the Ancient God of Death. He estimated that the power of the God of Death in my sea of consciousness was not ‘limitless’, so he allowed his power to be withdrawn by Him.”
Simply put, the Dragon God allowed Mitian to absorb his power freely, as much as he wanted, until the black hole burst!
Of course, there's a prerequisite: her sea of consciousness battlefield is extremely unique and completely unsuitable for the manifestation of divinity. If this were in the real world, Mi Tian could use the Death Divinity in countless ways, and the Dragon God might not dare to be so arrogant.
"After the Dragon God defeated Mitian, he took advantage of the Death Godhead's tendency to repair itself once again, and took the opportunity to merge his own power with Mitian's power to form a brand new power core, or let's call it a divine energy core—" General Red paused, "which is the dark red thing you see. I still don't know how to describe it."
He Lingchuan answered without hesitation: "Chaos?"
"Chaos?" General Red pondered carefully. "Hmm, that's quite fitting."
Having been in contact with the Great Square Pot for so long, He Lingchuan had always wondered about the Chaos that was always swimming in the vast Red Sea.
A fish kept in a pot looks really strange.
Now he finally understood that what seemed to be a living thing was actually one of the core elements of the Great Square Pot's power.
It embodies the Dragon God's philosophy; it is an existence that is neither alive nor dead, neither still nor extinct. It is the fusion of the top powers of the two realms, and also the fusion of the laws of the two realms.
No wonder it is so powerful.
Xu Shichu asked, "What about the Godhood of Death?"
"It was also embedded in it."
"As expected of the Dragon God." He Lingchuan clapped his hands in admiration.
He has yet to pass the second trial of the Godhood of Destiny, while the Dragon God has fused the shattered Godhood of Death with a flick of his finger and developed it for new uses.
This deconstruction and utilization of the rules was a new level he had never imagined.
Observing the battle between the Dragon God and Mitian's souls was a great inspiration to him.
“This battle within the sea of consciousness represents the different understandings of the mysteries of death held by the two great deities,” He Lingchuan mused. “The Dragon God believes that life and death themselves are not important; they are merely the migration and circulation of energy. Even in the conventional sense, when He and Mitian were ‘annihilated,’ their energy migrated into chaos. This migration is precisely the Dragon God’s practice of his own understanding.”
Just as the Dragon God once told Zhong Shengguang, His battle with Mi Tian will ultimately be a battle of laws.
“Well said! General Tiger Wing’s insights are profound.” Xu Shichu nodded repeatedly. “Where there is energy, there is the Dragon God. Therefore, it is neither born nor dies, neither extinguished nor destroyed.”
The Dragon God once said to Mi Tian, "The battle in the sea of consciousness is, for both sides, a kind of transcendence."
It was through this battle that He truly transcended life and death.
He Lingchuan felt a deep sense of regret, realizing that as a newcomer, he had no chance to meet the Dragon God inside the Great Pot, a truly immense pity. But he understood that the Dragon God had never left; he had simply transformed into another form.
He Lingchuan deliberately let out a long sigh: "The Dragon God is at ease letting go, but what will happen to the mortal realm in the future?"
“I asked Him. He said that even if He is gone, there is still Panlong City.” General Hong turned his head and looked at the setting sun. “Even if Panlong City is gone, there will be successors. There will always be new hope in the world.”
He Lingchuan was slightly moved.
……
After the battle in the sea of consciousness of General Hong, the statues in all the temples of the Great God, large and small, regardless of their titles such as Goddess of the Moon, were damaged to varying degrees. In Panlong City, there was originally a huge stone statue of the Great God, but suddenly, with several muffled cracks, its stone head fell off!
Thus, people learned that something had happened to the gods.
This scene mirrors the real-life demise of Miao Zhantian.
Before long, the demon realm will also find out.
The death of Mi Tian has far-reaching consequences, but the eye of the storm it caused is only just beginning to take shape.
The victory at the Fairy Spirit Lake ambush left the Bega army in the Honghe region without support, forcing them to retreat in disarray.
Panlong Army thus secured its hold on the north-central part of Xiluo.
Enraged, Bekah sent another 50,000 troops.
However, Huang Jing, the leader of the central and eastern part of Xiluo, surrendered to the Panlong Army first!
This move was completely unexpected by Bejia. Huang Jing's military strength was certainly far inferior to Bejia's or Panlong Army's, but he occupied a good position and controlled many passes and river mouths.
Once he surrendered, the Panlong Army quickly took over these key locations, giving Beka a geographical advantage.
The next seven or eight battles were particularly difficult for Beka.
At this time, news of Mi Tian's fall also spread throughout the royal court of Lingxu City. Its impact far surpassed that of Miao Zhantian's fall in later generations.
Miao Zhantian perished in the Inverted Sea, a result of a mutual fight between powerful beings of the same level, where he perished along with Qian Huan.
However, the fall of Mitian was not the work of the Heavenly Demon!
At first, Bekaa didn't understand the reason, but Wu Xianxian wrote a report on the whole process of the battle at Xianling Lake, which of course also mentioned the magnificent divine descent of Mitian.
When the gods of Lingxu compared these two events, they discovered that Mitian had fallen around this time.
In other words, Mitian descended in his true form at that time—otherwise, if he had only lost his clone, his true form would not have perished—and destroyed the divine descent of the three gods, but then he died for no reason.
The most unusual thing about this place is the Panlong army!
Logically, the sudden fall of their guardian deity should have caused extreme panic among the Panlong Army.
However, their performance was unusually strong. Even after Mi Tian's fall, they continued to advance with great enthusiasm, attacking several places in succession!
Especially after Huang Jing surrendered to Panlong City, General Hong reappeared on the battlefield, killing two of Bei Jia's generals in succession, and his momentum was even stronger than before!
Lingxu City had been keeping a close eye on General Hong's movements. She was Mi Tian's physical form; with Mi Tian gone, how could she possibly be unharmed?
With this second unusual event occurring, Lingxu City and the Heavenly Palace had no choice but to suspect that Mitian's fall was actually related to Panlong City!
Could it be... that Panlongcheng betrayed Mitian and plotted against Him?
Otherwise, outsiders simply cannot imagine the second possibility of Mitian's downfall.
But can Panlong City and General Hong defeat the Demon God of War? This sounds incredibly absurd, and even the gods shook their heads, saying it was impossible, absolutely impossible!
But in any case, Panlong City, with its dazzling appearance, was once again gazed upon by the gods.
A rare truce tonight.
The Panlong Army was stationed in Kecheng, which later became the capital of the Yuan Kingdom.
At this time, Kecheng was just a small city, without the Iris King's Palace, without the mansions of the wealthy, and without the artificial lake that had been dug out, but the landscape seemed familiar. He Lingchuan stood on a high hill in the suburbs, looking out over the city, and couldn't help but sigh at the fact that the landscape was the same as before, but the people had changed.
In real history, this land experienced dynastic changes over the next 150 years and did not enjoy peace for long.
I wonder if its fate and that of Panlong City can be changed in the world of Panlong?
He Lingchuan looked up at the night sky and yawned again.
Recently, the Panlong Army has been advancing eastward at a rapid pace. As the commander-in-chief, he was truly exhausted. He should have rested earlier tonight, but he dared not close his eyes.
There are new tasks tomorrow.
But the anomalies in the Panlong World have continued to this day. He looked up and saw a huge shadow slowly swimming across the sky.
This big guy has been wandering around for a long time. Is it urging him to leave quickly?
He was genuinely worried that the first thing he would do when he opened his eyes tomorrow would be...
He Lingchuan sighed, turned around and went into the tent.
Before falling asleep, the last thing he thought of was Master Sun.
