"Fallen Emperor?" Lü Wu smiled.
This was just a way of saying by divination masters and prophets. In fact, as long as the situation in Shenjiang was under control, anyone could be this Fallen Emperor.
"Why would the dignified Yuheng Xian God collude with the Mysterious Ancient Holy Devil?" Zhu Minglang tried his best to calm down and spoke to stall for time.
However, Lü Wu was obviously not the kind of bad person who would "die from talking too much". She coldly stared at Zhu Minglang, looking at Zhu Minglang as if she was looking at an ice-cold object.
There was no hatred, no malice, and no humanity. The current Lü Wu was very different from the previous immortal master who ran for the sake of the common people.
Lü Wu's gaze made Zhu Minglang very uncomfortable.
This was no longer a matter of contempt, but rather, she didn't treat him as a human at all. She was like a hunter in the jungle. When she caught a baby mouse, the first thing she thought of was to use the baby mouse as bait to hunt bigger prey like foxes and wolves.
Zhu Minglang was now Lü Wu's bait. Even if he was being torn apart by the prey and cried out miserably, she would only think that he was noisy.
"The human race has experienced all kinds of disasters over the long years. Many of them could even make the entire human race disappear completely, including my masterpiece of sinking mountains." At this time, the Great Holy Devil Shan Meng, who was stuck in front of the Silverlight Gate, opened his mouth.
Shan Meng seemed to have not talked with a human for a long time. His face was a bit excited, and his eyes were shining.
He knew that he would soon be free. What he wanted to do now was to share his joy with the first person he saw.
He didn't even remember how many years it had been.
Shan Meng didn't even have the slightest intention to kill Zhu Minglang. He even hoped that Zhu Minglang would be alive and kicking, so that someone could listen to his crazy revenge!
Unfortunately, Lü Wu wouldn't let this human go.
But before he died, he could let him die with some understanding.
"I've heard a little about it among the people," Zhu Minglang said.
Mountain Sinking Disaster.
This was the most ancient era when humans were on the brink of extinction. Ancient documents recorded that an incomparably terrifying incident had occurred at that time.
In the vast land, all the mountains had sunk into the ground. Without the shelter of the wind, the desert began to wreak havoc. Forests disappeared, rivers were spread by the desert, making it impossible to farm. Towns and cities were difficult to survive. The human race had experienced great migrations one after another, but they still could not find a place to live.
Most of the human race had been wiped out either by the Cataclysm or by the tribal wars over territories. If it weren't for the fact that a portion of the human race had learned to survive on the islands and knew how to live in the sea, the human race would have been completely wiped out by the Cataclysm.
This was Shan Meng's masterpiece.
After a hundred years, it was also after that incident that people began to realize the importance of mountains, so they began to worship the Mountain God. They no longer excavated the mountains to the point where not even a single stone remained for the sake of building glorious palaces. During certain festivals, they began to have folk artists dress up as Shan Meng and have children throw things around in order to make people remember the existence of this ancient Calamity Immortal.
Especially the Gods, they would definitely spread the horror of these things. Only in this way could they make people believe in them.
"I have an agreement with the Heavens," Shan Meng smiled. His smile was no different from a kind old man's.
Lü Wu was waiting. She was waiting for the void storm around her to stop.
Therefore, what she needed to do now was to keep an eye on Zhu Minglang and not let him escape.
Of course, Lü Wu also knew that the Silverlight Sword had already merged with Zhu Minglang's soul. In order to ensure the integrity of the Silverlight Sword, she did not need to kill Zhu Minglang. What she needed to do was to force him to unlock the ancient restriction on the Silverlight Door.
"What agreement?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"Mother Goddess once complained to the Heavens. She criticized the human race for being insatiable. No matter how comfortable they were, they would eventually erupt in war for some benefits. Such a human race would sooner or later be destroyed by themselves. The Heavens also felt very pained and ashamed. When the Heavens first created the human race, it also mixed in a lot of distracting thoughts. The Heavens admitted that the people it created were not perfect. Therefore, Mother Goddess, the Heavens, and I, who was in charge of the Myriad Monster Gods, made a decision together. That was to eliminate all the human race with greed flowing in their bones. Then, the Heavens and Mother Goddess would create an even more perfect human race. Only then would the world be peaceful, "Shan Meng slowly narrated this ancient matter.
Zhu Minglang listened while staring at the void storm.
The void storm blew over, giving Zhu Minglang extra time to think.
However, the current situation was very bad.
Shan Meng, who was at the Divine King level, was at the front. Behind him was the Yuheng Xian, who was at the Shenjun level. It was really too difficult to slip away from their hands.
He could not defeat them!
"It makes sense," Zhu Minglang nodded, pretending to agree with Shan Meng's version of the story.
"Hehe, looks like you've already guessed it … That's right, Mother Goddess and the Heavens wanted me to play the role of the sinful demon who destroyed the world. At that time, I was loyal to them. In fact, I have always been loyal to them. They wanted me to eradicate the human race, so I did. Unfortunately, things did not go very well. When I found out that the human race had hidden in the ocean, I went to the Heavens to complain. I said to the Heavens, 'Heavens, you may not have made the human race perfect, but you have made them very tenacious. No other race can compare to their unity and perseverance in the face of disaster.' The Heavens and Mother Goddess were also very helpless. In the end, they could only appoint another god to defeat me and throw me into Prison Continent. I did not do what I was supposed to do, so I was willing to accept the punishment. Ninety-nine thousand and nine hundred years was my sentence. The Heavens and Mother Goddess promised me that if I could live that long in Prison Continent, my sentence would be over, and they would release me. " Shan Meng calmly narrated the story. There was still a hint of reminiscence on his face, as if Mother Goddess and the Heavens were his old friends and he could not wait to meet them again.
Imprisoned for a hundred thousand years?
What did the Heavens mean?
An ancient Holy Demon who was supposed to be imprisoned for a hundred thousand years just happened to meet him in the short twenty to thirty years he had been in prison. Was the ninety-nine thousand and eighty years just a decoration?
Was it because he could not afford it? What kind of disaster happened in the era he was living in?
"Now that you can't take it anymore, it's like breaking out of prison?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"Hehe, I've been in Prison Continent for two hundred thousand years. Although time passes very quickly there, the torture of two hundred thousand years is real!" Shan Meng sneered.
"Uhh … did the Heavens break their promise? They didn't come to pick you up a hundred thousand years ago?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"No, the Heavens didn't break their promise. They just came a little late. Look behind you, isn't that beautiful Immortal Master the Heavens' incarnation? She came to pick me up. The Heavens knew I had a lot to bear, and that I had been punished for a hundred thousand years. Although they didn't come to pick me up personally, they didn't forget about me, an old friend, in Prison Continent. They knew my loyalty had never changed, "Shan Meng said.
Immortal Master Lü Wu remained silent.
Zhu Minglang glanced at Immortal Master Lü Wu.
Damn woman, why are you acting all high and mighty? It's fine if you don't explain yourself after tricking me, but you still want a monster to fill in the details for you!
"Of course, you too. Aren't you an incarnation sent by the heavens to get me out of prison?" Shan Meng suddenly added, and then a smile spread across its old face.
Zhu Minglang's heart sank.
Xie Cang's kidnapping wasn't over yet!
He was still on Xie Cang's pirate ship …
It was very difficult for him to escape from the moment he allowed the Silver Dawn Sword to be born!
What a ridiculous opportunity to become a Divine Master. If he knew that he would fall into it again and again, Zhu Minglang should just lay down and cultivate. He would make use of his Divine Master level spirit to cultivate all the way to the Divine Master level. It did not matter if it took a little longer. At most, he would have a child with his wife and raise it. He would urge the child to cultivate well and kill enemies for his father.
"You're too kind. I'm actually not that close to the Heavens," Zhu Minglang forced a polite smile and forced himself to chat with the ancient Holy Demon.
"I can smell the aura on your body. The Heavens have high hopes for you. Can you tell me your name?" Shan Meng asked in an elegant and easy-going tone.
"May I ask if you're planning to retire after you get out of prison, or do you have other plans …" Zhu Minglang said.
"For two hundred thousand years, I've been reflecting and blaming myself all the time …" Shan Meng's eyes immediately changed when he mentioned this. He looked old and tired, but his eyes were filled with passion. "I understand why I failed back then. I was too self-centered and too arrogant. My power is actually very limited when I'm alone. Even a Great Holy Immortal like me needs to put down my pride and join forces with other Great Holy Demons. For example, if I put down my prejudice and joined forces with Hai Nuwa, I would've been able to complete the mission given to me by the Heavens and the Heavens. I was too young back then. It's my fault that the human race has become like this, including some Gods who are full of bad habits. I destroyed the human race back then, and the Heavens and the Heavens and the Heavens created perfect people. Then, they multiplied and passed down generation after generation. After two hundred thousand years, the human race's civilization has lit up the galaxy and the Void. "
Shan Meng was vexed and told Zhu Minglang enthusiastically.
Without waiting for Zhu Minglang's response, he continued, "Fortunately, I'm mature now. I know that to deal with the tenacious human race, we don't only need to rely on other Great Holy Demons, but also have to erode the human race from within. The human race will always be destroyed by themselves. What I need to do is to exert a little pressure and instigate them, and everything will fall into place. Of course, this will also be an extremely long process. It just so happens that what I don't lack the most is time. As long as I can complete the mission given to me by the Heavens and the Heavens, the world will be beautiful again. I'm not afraid of being spurned, I only hate my own incompetence!"
"You're really a wise Great Holy Demon. If every mysterious ancient species was as humble and studious as you, and knew how to reflect on themselves, the human race would've been finished in minutes." Zhu Minglang almost cried when he heard this.
What kind of ancient Great Holy Demon was this?
Even such a Great Holy Immortal Great Holy Demon learned wisdom, learned unity, and learned how to fight a protracted war. What exactly did the human race do to it to make it crawl back up after falling down, and become even stronger after crawling back up?
"You're flattering me, you humans aren't bad either. The current human race is no longer as ignorant and superstitious as they were in ancient times. They all have their own ideas. Even some believers' beliefs are far from as firm as before. Everyone wants to become a god, everyone wants to ascend to immortality," Shan Meng said.
After a round of mutual flattery, Zhu Minglang's mood became increasingly heavy.
He felt that the void storm was coming to a stop.
Sure enough, Immortal Master Lü Wu was already closing in on him.
She held a white sword in her hand, and pointed it at Zhu Minglang's back.
There was no need for more words. She only asked Zhu Minglang to do one thing, and that was to unlock the restriction on the Silverlight Door and release Shan Meng.
"Kid, you don't have to feel burdened. You can be forgiven if you were forced to do something against your will. Be steady when you unlock the restriction. After I come out, I'll casually break a few of your bones, and then tell the outside world that you saw through our scheme in time and came to stop us. Unfortunately, your cultivation is too low, and you're no match for Immortal Master Lü Wu and I, so you barely managed to keep your life," Shan Meng continued.
"You're too kind." Zhu Minglang was so touched that he was about to cry.
"Let's be friends. I know you can't be on our side right now, but when you see the true nature of the human race and hope to have a day of true peace, you can come and find me. I won't treat you badly … Of course, the most important thing is that you're happy. If you're not happy staying with me, you can leave at any time. I won't force you," Shan Meng said.
Zhu Minglang almost burst into tears.
Why would the Holy Devil Immortal Ancestor not be worried about not being able to unify the ten thousand realms?
Xie Cang was too good at being a person!
This was completely different from the image of the cruel and violent Evil Demon Emperors that had been circulating among the common folk. This made the righteousness that he had been upholding in his heart seem a little petty in front of them.
"Don't worry, my hands are very steady. However, you have to tell me what I should do," Zhu Minglang said.
"Do you see the silver seals around me? You can cut them with your Silverlight Sword," Shan Meng said.
"Oh, I see it," Zhu Minglang nodded and slowly approached Shan Meng.
Shan Meng smiled. Even though he was displaying the benevolence of a Demon Emperor, Zhu Minglang still felt a lot of pressure when he approached Shan Meng. After all, he did look a little ferocious. He was a classic man-eating demon. The various clans of Trolls were most likely his descendants!
Zhu Minglang found the first silver seal. He made a slashing motion, but his eyes were focused on the flow of the space nearby.
The Void Storm was coming again. It would be the perfect time for him to escape. Lü Wu seemed to be afraid of accidents, so she did not dare to approach the Silverlight Gate with him. Meanwhile, Shan Meng was stuck on the Silverlight Gate. When the next Void Storm came, he would have to risk being crushed to pieces by the Void Storm and escape.
