Under the blazing sun, millions of people worked under the blazing sun in the ruins of Nine Origin City.
More than twenty years ago, Nine Origin City had been destroyed by Hu Jiu and turned into ruins. Twenty years had passed, and the place was overgrown with weeds. Birds and beasts were everywhere.
However, the outer city walls were still basically intact. From afar, one could still make out the appearance of the city.
Hu Jiu wreaked havoc in the world, and the Northern Sea Star Absorption turned countless people into killing beasts. In more than twenty years, eighty percent of the people in the world had died.
The rest of the people scattered in the wilderness, mountains, and other remote areas to survive. Large-scale urban life had already become history. Nine Origin City was Hu Jiu's hometown. Many of those who hated Hu Jiu would come here to kill to vent their anger.
After going back and forth a few times, the area around Nine Origins City had become a wasteland. Not a single person was left alive. No one was willing to live in such a dangerous place.
The people gathered in Nine Origins City were all Hu Jiu's subordinates.
Hu Jiu, who became the most powerful overlord in the world, established the Divine Blood Church. There were billions of believers. It was also the strongest sect in the world.
Some time ago, Hu Jiu suddenly came up with the idea of building a white bone throne in Nine Origins City. Thus, billions of disciples gathered together to collect bones and transport them to Nine Origins City.
This was an extremely huge project. Fortunately, Hu Jiu used his divine arts to build hundreds of teleportation formations. Many disciples worked day and night, and the White Bone Throne had already begun to take shape.
Too many people had died in the past twenty years. Usually, the inside of a huge city would be filled with white bones. However, these bones were all mortal bones, so they had to be reinforced before they could be used.
Not far from Nine Origins City, the people of the Divine Blood Church dug a deep pit with a diameter of several thousand feet. They used magic to melt rocks and forge a large pot. Then, he set up a Fire Refining Formation under the cauldron.
The stone pot contained the blood of various demonic beasts, as well as various ores and other materials. This formula was given by Hu Jiu. After mixing it according to the ratio, the juice would seep deep into the bones, making them as hard as steel.
Tens of thousands of bones were poured into the cauldron and boiled for two days. Then, they were taken out to dry and transported to Nine Origin City to construct the Bone Throne.
There were dozens of Primordial Divinity Realm cultivators and thousands of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators working here. Even the weakest xiuzhe were zhuji. Their work efficiency was a thousand times higher than that of ordinary people.
Hu Jiu had supreme authority in the Divine Blood Church. No one dared to object once he gave an order.
Moreover, Hu Jiu was sitting on the city wall. Although he did not urge them, nor did he set a deadline for them to finish the work. But here, he was the best supervisor.
From top to bottom, they were all working with all their might. For this reason, the Divine Blood Church even went around capturing people to work as laborers. Tens of millions of people came to Nine Origins City from all directions to work as laborers.
The Divine Blood Church was extremely cruel to these laborers and did not let them rest at all. If they died of exhaustion, they would directly digest their flesh and blood, leaving only their bones as materials.
No one knew why Hu Jiu wanted to build a White Bone Throne, and no one dared to ask.
Without a doubt, the construction of the White Bone Throne required a huge amount of manpower and resources. And it didn't seem to have any real meaning.
If it was in the past, the demonic path sects wouldn't have the strength to do so even if they wanted to. The Immortal Dao Sects would never risk universal condemnation to do such a thing.
What's more, the immortal sects wouldn't be able to afford such a huge project even if they had hundreds of thousands of years of experience.
Only Hu Jiu could be so extravagant and disregard the price.
One month, two months, one year, two years.
It wasn't until the tenth year that the White Bone Throne in Nine Origins City was completed.
The eerie white bones formed a huge platform that was shaped like gold. It was nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine zhang tall and had a total of one hundred and eight thousand steps. There was a tall throne at the top.
Hu Jiu wore a reddish-gold armor and sat on the throne. His Life Cutter was stabbed into the ground in his right hand.
His eyes were cold like a god as he looked down at the disciples of the Divine Blood Church who were kneeling below.
It took ten years to build the White Bone Throne, during which countless manpower and resources were consumed. At least billions of people died because of it. There were also hundreds of millions of disciples of the Divine Blood Church.
After the completion of the White Bone Throne, everyone in the Divine Blood Church was relieved. If this continued, everyone in the world would really die.
"Sect Master, you're so powerful that you can live forever …"
The disciples knelt on the White Bone Throne according to their ranks. The hundreds of millions of disciples of the Divine Blood Church also dyed the White Bone Throne red.
The hundreds of millions of cultivators shouted in unison, their voices piercing the sky and magnificent.
However, Hu Jiu, who was sitting on the throne, looked indifferent. There was no excitement or joy on his face. Decades of killing had almost obliterated his feelings as a human.
"Many people don't understand why the White Bone Throne was built."
As soon as Hu Jiu spoke, everyone below immediately became silent. There was only the strong wind in the sky. However, Hu Jiu's deep and cold voice was clearly heard by everyone.
Everyone pricked up their ears too. They were indeed confused and could not understand why the White Bone Throne was built. It was spectacular, but it seemed to have no other meaning.
"3,000 Immortal Sects and 800 heretical sects. These high and mighty sects firmly control power and power. Those at the bottom are like grass, pigs, dogs, cows, and sheep. They're at the mercy of the cultivators of the Immortal Sects."
Hu Jiu sneered silently and said, "Now, all the Immortal Sects have been destroyed. The strict ranks that they built and the stable order have also been destroyed. This is a new beginning … "
"Sect Master, you're wise and mighty. You've rebuilt the world!" Some sensible disciples shouted and praised Hu Jiu.
This person's cultivation level was extremely high. His divine consciousness surged, and the other disciples could hear him clearly. All the disciples were used to this. They did not need anyone to organize them. They all praised him loudly, "Sect Master, you're wise and mighty. You've rebuilt the world!"
No matter what the disciples of the Divine Blood Church thought, they would definitely shout loudly. Those who dared to show any disrespect to Hu Jiu were long dead.
Hu Jiu was already tired of such praise and worship. The path of proving his Dao through killing was too lonely. He just wanted to take the last step as soon as possible and complete his mission.
No matter what the outcome was, he did not want to wait any longer.
Hu Jiu said to the billions of disciples, "Overthrowing the 3,000 Immortal Sects is not the process or the goal. Our real goal is to build a new order and a new world. "
Hu Jiu did not have such thoughts in the past. At first, he only wanted to pursue power. After obtaining the Blood God Sutra from Gao Zhengyang, he quickly became invincible.
During this process, Hu Jiu's vision and knowledge gradually broadened. When he stood at the peak, he suddenly understood that killing was just a method, not the goal. Being addicted to killing would only make one a lunatic.
Only by finding the direction to move forward would one not sink into the sea of blood.
Fame, power, money, beauty, affection, all of these were not meaningless. However, they could all be sacrificed for the transformation of the essence of life.
Hu Jiu said in a deep voice, "Only by completely destroying everything can we build a new world. All of you will become a part of me and witness this incomparably great moment. You will also be reborn in the new world! "
Most of the disciples of the Divine Blood Church were confused. They did not understand what Hu Jiu meant. However, there were also many smart people who could tell that something was wrong from Hu Jiu's words.
They followed Hu Jiu not because they admired him, but because they were afraid of him. They wanted to rely on him to survive.
To be honest, as a leader, Hu Jiu was ruthless and did not have any charisma. However, he was too powerful, so everything he did was natural. Everyone was used to obeying him.
However, there was a prerequisite for such obedience, which was to survive. Now that Hu Jiu suddenly said that he wanted to die with everyone, the cultivators above the Nascent Soul Realm were unwilling.
These cultivators did not dare to fight Hu Jiu, but they definitely had the courage to escape. However, no matter what these cultivators thought or did, they could not move an inch away from where they were.
The White Bone Throne that Hu Jiu spent so much effort to build was not for the fun of showing off.
This White Bone Throne gathered the bones of hundreds of billions of people. After being tempered by spells, the bones became as strong as steel. More importantly, Hu Jiu put countless souls that he had collected throughout his life into the White Bone Throne.
It could be said that this White Bone Throne gathered the powerful resentment of all the people who had died in the world for decades. One could imagine how terrifying this power was.
Since ancient times, no one had ever been able to create such a terrifying Divine Weapon.
Hu Jiu could only build this White Bone Throne with the power of the laws because he could resonate with the core laws.
From this moment on, the White Bone Throne officially began to operate. All the vitality in the world would become nutrients for the White Bone Throne. In the end, the entire world would be sucked dry by the White Bone Throne.
Once this process began, it could not be stopped. It was the same for Hu Jiu. This was because the White Bone Throne, which was deeply rooted in the laws, could not be destroyed at all.
During this process, Hu Jiu could only fuse with the White Bone Throne. When all the vitality in the world was extinguished, all the power would gather on the White Bone Throne. At that time, the world would shatter, and the core origin of the laws would be revealed.
Then, the White Bone Throne would shatter, and the gathered power would circulate according to the new laws, reshaping the world.
The most basic soul imprint of all living beings would not be destroyed. They would be reborn as the world was reborn. Of course, to all living beings, they would be truly destroyed. Although the new life came from the same soul, it had no connection with the original life.
Hu Jiu would break the restraints of the world during this process and obtain the most fundamental laws of the world. The essence of life would be sublimated.
Of course, it was not without danger. Reshaping the world and recreating the universe was too complicated and powerful for him. If he was not careful, his soul and consciousness would be crushed and destroyed.
Hu Jiu had long been prepared for this. In reality, even if he did not do this, the laws of the world would circulate on their own. It might take a few hundred years, or a few thousand years, but the world would eventually be destroyed and reborn from the destruction.
Hu Jiu merely sped up the process. The benefit he gained was that he could control the entire process and obtain the true power of the world.
The White Bone Throne shone with a crimson red light, and the hundreds of millions of followers melted. All the essence, blood, and souls were silently absorbed by the White Bone Throne.
The origin power and spiritual qi in the world also frantically gathered towards the throne. Faint greyish-white smoke rose from the sky and spread in all directions. Everywhere it passed, everything was turned to dust.
Although the Great Void was vast, with the speed at which the White Bone Throne absorbed power, the entire world would be completely destroyed in less than three months.
Hu Jiu was not anxious about this. He would rather it take longer so that it would be easier for him to control it.
The greyish-white smoke suddenly rippled, and Yu Xuanqing walked out of the ripple with a horsetail whisk in her hand.
Hu Jiu looked up at her and said emotionlessly, "You're late."
Decades had passed, and Yu Xuanqing had long since broken through to the Primordial Soul Realm. In terms of power, she was not weaker than Hu Jiu. However, sitting on the White Bone Throne, no living being in this world was Hu Jiu's match.
Not to mention one Yu Xuanqing, even ten, a hundred, or a thousand of them would not be Hu Jiu's match. Even if Gao Zhengyang came, it would be useless.
Hu Jiu experienced the boundless power and had already lost interest in Yu Xuanqing. If this woman had come a few years earlier, he might have been able to spar with her.
After hiding for so long, there was no need to fight anymore.
Yu Xuanqing said indifferently, "Not late, just in time."
Hu Jiu could tell that something was wrong, but before he could act, Yu Xuanqing had already turned into a green light and rushed into the White Bone Throne. The green light was quickly assimilated by the crimson light and disappeared without a trace.
Yu Xuanqing's soul was not devoured by the White Bone Throne. Instead, it went to the core laws of the White Bone Throne. Her soul power was not as strong as Hu Jiu's, but it was purer and more stable. It was more compatible with the laws.
The moment Yu Xuanqing's soul came into contact with the laws, they immediately fused into a ball. Hu Jiu wanted to chase Yu Xuanqing away, but it was too late.
Under the resonance of the laws, Hu Jiu was unable to kill Yu Xuanqing. The two souls faced off, neither of them able to truly control the laws.
Hu Jiu was a bit angry. He had spent so much effort to kill people and paid such a high price to build the White Bone Throne. Yu Xuanqing had suddenly come out to take over his place. His methods were really despicable.
"Yin and Yang counteract each other, it is the ultimate dao. When the world is rebuilt, there will be limitless power. How much can you use alone? "
Yu Xuanqing didn't want to fight Hu Jiu. She didn't know where Gao Zhengyang was hiding. She just wanted to get on this boat and survive the apocalypse. Thus, her tone was rather polite.
Hu Jiu could only accept this result. He indeed couldn't chase Yu Xuanqing away. If this continued, both sides might suffer.
At his level, he wouldn't act on impulse.
What Hu Jiu didn't expect was that a spiritual light landed and a woman appeared in the depths of the laws. This woman was beautiful and her posture was as beautiful as an orchid.
He couldn't help but frown. It was fine that Yu Xuanqing was taking advantage of him, but what was this woman doing?
The woman smiled at Hu Jiu, "Hello junior brother, I am your senior sister Wei Lanjun."
Hu Jiu was silent. At the most critical moment, Gao Zhengyang had made a move. At this time, he could turn hostile, but he had a feeling that Gao Zhengyang had a way to deal with him.
Thus, Hu Jiu just cupped his hands, "Hello senior sister."
Wei Lanjun said politely, "Master asked me to hitch a ride. Junior brother, please don't mind."
Hu Jiu waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing.
Yu Xuanqing glared at Wei Lanjun and hesitated. In the end, he didn't do anything unnecessary.
When the world was destroyed and reborn, it would release limitless power. All the laws would appear in their original form.
Of course, it would be troublesome if there was competition, but it still depended on luck and ability.
The three of them didn't say anything else and waited quietly in the depths of the laws. After who knew how long, they heard a loud hum.
It was as if there were billions of zither strings vibrating at the same time. The sound was extremely complex and grand.
Hu Jiu and Yu Xuanqing originally wanted to find a chance to deal with the other party, but the resonance of billions of laws wasn't something their souls could bear.
The two of them entered a wondrous state of resonance, and their minds no longer had any consciousness.
As the endless laws resonated, Gao Zhengyang's main body, which was in the outer layer of the Great Void, finally saw the true appearance of the world's laws for the first time.
The laws were like zither strings, crisscrossing one after another, shining with a myriad of colors and incomparably dazzling.
It was actually not easy to find what he wanted among the laws. However, Gao Zhengyang was different from Yu Xuanqing and Hu Jiu. He was a Divine King whose body and soul had become one.
No matter how the laws resonated, as long as he didn't move, they wouldn't be able to trigger his resonance.
It was actually Gao Zhengyang's first time seeing such a scene. The scene of the world being reconstructed was also extremely shocking to him. It allowed him to truly understand what the operation of laws was.
Among the billions of laws, Gao Zhengyang calmed his mind and finally found the most important and core Law of Extreme Yin.
He stretched out his finger and gently touched that faintly discernible illusory line. He felt the wonderful resonance of the laws, and his body and mind were intoxicated.
