The annoying granny was very clear about what had happened.
For so many years, she had followed the will of her lover and firmly controlled the direction of the Sacred Race.
She had believed in the Dragon God since she was a child. She believed that the Dragon God was great and flawless.
But the heavens were unpredictable, and the Dragon God seemed to have encountered some problems.
Oracles were often chaotic and incomprehensible …
In the beginning, there were frequent occurrences of miracles and divine decrees, but the words were incoherent and contradictory, pointing to this and that.
She only listened to the oracles that were beneficial to the future of the Sacred Race and regarded them as the true decree. She chose to turn a deaf ear to those chaotic oracles.
As for what was beneficial to the future of the Sacred Race, Guan Yan had already made a detailed list. And after so many years, she slowly had her own understanding.
Peaceful days, fair and just rules, kindness, courage, commitment, these beautiful qualities …
The future of the Sacred Race should be peaceful and happy.
It was also at this time that she discovered and confirmed …
She believed in Guan Yan more than the Dragon God.
Compared to the Dragon God, she believed in the beautiful future of the Sacred Race more.
Guan Yan had never denied the Dragon God in front of her. Even when he died, he only said that he had left a way to deal with Yan Xiao.
But she had eyes to see, and she had a heart to feel.
She knew what was the best choice for the Sacred Race.
Many young Sacred Race members thought that today's life was natural. They suffered because of the tradition of "hunting" and were resentful because of the invasion of the night.
She had experienced the dark times and knew what the more painful and torturous days were like.
The enlightenment of the Sacred Race was a method developed by Guan Yan, but for hundreds of years, the specific implementation was completed by her bit by bit. The one who turned everything that Guan Yan had envisioned into reality … was her incessant stitching day and night.
She realized that the Oracles of Chaos were slowly eroding her heart, trying to lead her to the "chaotic" side. As time passed and the chaos accumulated, she gradually became unable to resist.
So she began to choose the Azure Saintess, changing generations to listen to the oracles in her place.
If the Azure Saintess was affected by the Oracles of Chaos, she had to live in the sacrificial chamber for ten years. If there were no abnormalities for ten years, she could return to the Sacred Race and live a normal life. If it was just a normal rotation and there was no disorder, then there was no need for this.
She, on the other hand, had always held the position of a priestess, which meant that she held the right to interpret the Oracle, so that the Oracle would never deviate from its path. Thus, they lived in peace for hundreds of years.
In later years, the Oracles were not as frequent, and the number of times the Oracles were chaotic became less and less. Everything was going in the right direction, and the Dragon God seemed to be slowly "returning to normal" …
However, Azureflower looked like she'd heard those chaotic oracles again and was already affected.
Although this day came too early, it was time for him to change it out …
Of course, it was cruel to let a young girl live alone in the sacrificial chamber for ten years, but she had no other choice.
The old woman knew very well what would happen to those who were completely controlled by the Divine Edict of Chaos.
Over the long years, some Saintesses had been killed by her own hands …
As for the next Saintess of Azure, she had originally favored little Guo 'er, so she had always kept her by her side to teach her. In another ten years or so, Blue and White Flower would go and live on her own. She would be able to take over the task of listening to the gods.
However, it was clearly not possible now.
Little Guo 'er was still too young, so who else in the clan was suitable?
The old priestess of the Forest Ocean Sacred Clan had a lot on her mind, and her wrinkles were deep.
Why would something happen to Blue and White Flower now? She was kind-hearted and strong-willed, and had only been the Saintess of Azure for a few years. She hadn't heard many Oracles in total …
Usually, the Saintess would only be affected by dozens of Oracles of Chaos and lose her mind.
Did something happen to the Dragon God again?
The white-haired old woman looked at Blue and White Flower with a worried expression.
"I don't want to hear it … I don't want to hear it." Blue and White Flower closed her eyes tightly and covered her ears, her expression pained. "But when I sleep, it rings in my heart. When I walk, it rings in my ears. No matter what I do or where I go, it rings … I don't want to hear it, but I can't not listen! I am the Saintess of Azure, and I was born to listen to the will of the gods. This is the meaning of my existence … my value! "
"Listen to me, child …" The annoying old woman put the book in her hands back on the shelf, her movements gentle.
She stood up from the recliner, walked in front of Blue and White Flower, and gently hugged her.
She had watched this child grow up from a young age, watching how she grew from a shy little girl to a beauty that the Sacred Warriors couldn't take their eyes off.
She knew her pain, and could feel her struggle.
She gently stroked her long hair. "You are Blue and White Flower. You were born for yourself, and the meaning of your existence is to make yourself happy. This isn't some Oracles, and you don't need to show any value. Child, do you know? Your existence itself is already extremely precious to me. "
"What you said is different … Why is it different?" Blue and White Flower hugged her head with both hands. Her voice was even more pained, and she even sounded like she was about to cry. "Priestess! Granny! Dragon God! What should I do … What should I do? "
"What's different?" The annoying old woman gently stroked her, her voice gentle. "Tell me, what did you hear?"
Blue and White Flower sobbed. "I heard …"
Poof!
A cold light flashed, and a short dagger pierced the annoying old woman's abdomen.
Bang!
Blue and White Flower were immediately pushed away by a palm. Her entire body crashed into the door of the study, and she fell to the ground.
The annoying old woman took a few steps back and fell back into the recliner. Her aura became chaotic.
It wasn't that she hadn't been on guard against Blue and White Flower. She had seen many Holy Maidens affected by the Oracles of Chaos, and knew that their actions were uncontrollable. While she was concerned about Blue and White Flower, she didn't let down her guard.
With Blue and White Flower's strength, she shouldn't have been able to hurt her.
But just now, the ravings of the Gods had suddenly entered her ears. It was the Oracles of Chaos that she hadn't personally heard in a long time … She had clearly taken the initiative to disconnect for a long time!
The Oracles of Chaos had attacked her mental defenses, causing her to fall into a momentary daze.
That was why Blue and White Flower had stabbed her.
This dagger had been smeared with an unknown, strange substance. She could feel a strange power rapidly corroding her body …
Was I wrong? She thought.
A gust of evening wind blew in, swaying the candlelight in the study, causing the bookshelves to dim yellow.
It made a lonely whirlwind, passing by the white-haired old woman lying on the recliner and the beautiful woman standing in front of the door. Then, it flew out of the room.
Compared to the environment outside, the Divine Shadow Land was indeed fresh and bright.
However, the night here was still tranquil. Without the Divine Dragon Incense, no one dared to walk outside.
The Divine Dragon Tree extended into the distance. Numerous fruit houses hung from the branches, each one a warm home.
There was probably no other place in the entire Forest Ocean Origin Realm that could see the lights of tens of thousands of homes.
The evening wind blew gently through the empty forest.
It just so happened to sweep past a window …
The fruit house was decorated with warm candlelight.
A cute girl sat in front of the dressing table, and her beautiful mother was currently unbraiding her hair. A man was in the other corner of the room, using a small knife. He was seriously sharpening an arrow.
Tonight's sleep and tomorrow's hunt. The days flowed like this.
In order to avoid accidentally pulling her daughter's hair and hurting her, the mother's movements were delicate and gentle.
The girl was getting sleepy from waiting. She looked at herself in the mirror and yawned … Her sleepy eyes instantly widened in fear.
The mother's beautiful and gentle eyes in the mirror suddenly became bloodshot!
The girl felt her hair being pulled taut, and her head involuntarily tilted backwards …
Her screams and cries were all restrained within the fruit house. Like the candlelight, they were unable to escape the darkness of the night.
The night flowed like water, and the east house moved to the west house.
In this somewhat aged fruit house, an elderly woman leaned against the headboard with a kind expression on her face.
A stout man sat by the bed with a bowl of meat soup in his hands, feeding her spoonful by spoonful.
Her eyes were bloodshot at some point in time.
The old woman closed her mouth and bit the spoon in half!
"Mother!" The man was shocked. He reached out to grab the spoon to prevent his mother from swallowing the soup.
However, a withered hand had already wrapped around his neck …
This was an unusual night.
Anyone who had listened to the oracle for Saintess Qing, regardless of whether or not they had done anything out of line, had changed on this night.
In other words, Little Troublesome Priestess should have already anticipated the possible consequences when she had chosen Saintess Qing to listen to the oracle in her place.
The safest choice was, of course, to secretly kill all the Saintesses who had abdicated. This way, no matter what problems there were with the Oracle of Chaos, it would not become a problem.
However, Little Troublesome Priestess did not choose that.
She would rather use ten years to sift through the candidates and use more time to wait.
And the cause of yesterday was the effect of today.
… …
… …
In the distant horizon, Alioth had already disappeared.
Every night in the Forest Ocean Origin World, it was stingy with its light.
It was day and night.
However, in a pair of vertical pupils that could see through time, it was still shining brightly in that direction, and it was getting brighter and brighter.
Raging waves were surging in the vast and boundless Origin Sea.
A golden divine dragon leaped into the air, fighting with all its might against its opponent. It had two enemies, one in front and one behind it. The one in front was a clumsy and tall tree. As its branches whipped about, it shook the entire Origin Sea.
Behind him was a handsome monk in white robes who was holding a verdant scepter in his hand.
This golden divine dragon was naturally the Dragon God.
To be able to simultaneously suppress the Forest Ocean Origin World's World Consciousness and seize the Forest Ocean True God's divine hilt in the Origin Sea, the Dragon God's strength was evident.
However, this was still not his true strength. Perhaps he was afraid of the Forest Ocean Origin World's World Consciousness's near-death counterattack, or perhaps he was not strong enough to defeat Guanyan, so he was unwilling to take the risk.
In any case, the Dragon God firmly controlled the situation of the battle and firmly grasped the scales of victory. He no longer retreated, nor did he oppress his opponent.
This delicate balance made the situation of the battle very anxious.
When it came to resisting the Dragon God.
Guanyan and the Forest Ocean Origin World's World Consciousness clearly had a certain level of tacit understanding. They tried their best to cooperate, but this cooperation was not harmonious.
At most, they each occupied an area and fought their own battles.
The World Consciousness was only a vague term, and it could not be completely equated to the intelligence of intelligent lifeforms.
The Forest Ocean Origin World's World Consciousness's actions and logic were closer to some kind of instinct … It instinctively protected the Forest Ocean Origin World, instinctively reacted to hostility, and instinctively counterattacked.
However, it could not be said that it was completely without intelligence. It was just that the "thinking" of the World Consciousness was not the same as the thinking of intelligent lifeforms.
As a World Consciousness, it was sometimes frighteningly "old-fashioned". For example, Yan Xiao was clearly an evil bird under the Dragon God's control, but it was also viewed as a "native" of this world and had never been targeted by the Forest Ocean Origin World's World Consciousness.
Sometimes, the Will of the World would have a vague and unpredictable choice. For example, it had chosen to protect an "outsider" like Guanyan back then …
The World Consciousness did not have human "personality", "morals", or "emotions", but it was not just a world's natural instinct to protect itself.
It could be said to be very simple, but it could also be said to be very complicated. Since ancient times, no one had been able to truly understand the World Consciousness.
However, there was one thing that was without a doubt — being able to come into contact with the World Consciousness itself was already extraordinary.
To the vast majority of people, perhaps they would never be able to sense the existence of the World Consciousness in their entire lives.
When it came to this battle in the Origin Sea, Guanyan had been the one leading and coordinating the entire battle.
He had to research the Dragon God and the World Consciousness. The three sides had been entangled in this battle for hundreds of years.
At this point in time, the Forest Ocean Origin World's Origin Sea was divided into three colors.
About three-sixths of it was the same brilliant gold as the Dragon God. About two-sixths of it was jade-green in color, and only the remaining one-sixth was as clear as water, shining in the same light as Guanyan.
From the looks of it, Guanyan seemed to be too weak. However, only those who were personally involved in the battle could clearly see just how terrifying this monk was.
While the Dragon God was completely suppressing the will of the world, he had entered the battle dressed in monk robes and entered the Origin Sea alone. From nothing, he had forcibly snatched away one-sixth of the Origin Sea's share between the Dragon God's fingers!
The Forest Ocean Origin World's World Consciousness, which had the home field advantage, could only retreat under the Dragon God's attacks, and its share of the Origin Sea grew smaller and smaller.
Guanyan, who seemed to be the weakest and least relied on, was able to maintain a trend of growth throughout the endless battle day and night. He had even delayed the World Consciousness's decline.
What they were fighting for was not just the Origin Sea, but the world itself!
And at this moment —
The Dragon God stood high in the sky and looked down. "Little monk, it's time for all of this to end!"
He indeed did not understand this monk well enough. After fighting for so long, he still felt like he was looking at flowers in the fog. However, he understood that the Forest Ocean Holy Clan had a special meaning to Guanyan, and that priest was crucial to Guanyan …
That was enough.
Was it not?
After so many years of planning and planning, it was indeed time to end it.
After fighting in this Origin Sea for hundreds of years, even an existence like him could not help but feel exhausted!
As soon as this voice fell, the entire Origin Sea shook and echoed.
Waves roared and swept across.
It was over!
It was over!
It was over!
And Guanyan, who was wearing the white lunar monk robe, just looked up at this god quietly. He held the scepter that represented the Forest Ocean True God's Divine Handle and took a step forward.
The raging waves stopped, and the echoes dissipated.
One step was enough to level the waves!
A Divine Handle was the authority of a god.
It represented the highest control over the power of faith.
Guanyan held this green scepter. It could be said that he held the Dragon God's faith and was an enemy of the Dragon God.
And his expression was so calm. He only said, "Blackmail is not the method of a righteous god. Scheming to gain benefits is not the path of the Great Path. For a despicable existence like you, the more you spread your teachings, the worse the disaster will be … It's time to end it! "
"Ridiculous! Ridiculous! "The Dragon God laughed." What bullsh * t Divine Path is this? Do you think I care? You can have the Divine Handle and Deity Position if you want, but I'll give it to you to play with! "
The bright golden waves of the Origin Sea firmly resisted the clear waves.
And in his bright golden vertical pupils, the appearance of the Alioth Star was already reflected.
In the long battle, he had already captured the Alioth Star. Today was a good opportunity to enter.
After controlling half of the Origin Sea and capturing the Alioth Star, he indeed did not need the Deity Position of the Forest Ocean Origin World's True God.
No matter how one looked at it, he had enough confidence to obtain the final victory.
But even so, at this critical juncture, he still used the remaining influence of the Deity Position to shake the Azure Saintess and attack the priest called Little Annoyance. He even affected the entire Forest Ocean Holy Clan and caused a bloody massacre.
No matter what methods Guanyan had, he had to make a choice today.
Should he interfere with the Dragon God's occupation of the Alioth Star, or should he escape to save Little Annoyance and the Forest Ocean Holy Clan?
The Origin Sea of the World Origin Sea was turbulent.
Only the manifestation of the Forest Ocean Origin World's Will was still waving its branches and attacking the Dragon God.
It was as if it was completely unaware of what was happening.
…
…
The Land of Divine Shadow, in the study room.
The white-haired old woman fell back into the recliner. She struggled to resist the power that was eroding her body. She could not make a sound or move.
Blue Flower, who had finally regained her footing, pulled out a black dagger and walked toward her resolutely.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from outside.
"Blue Flower!"
Qing Bazhi, whose hair was tied into eight braids, jumped into the study room. He held his javelin horizontally and said with a serious expression, "What are you doing!"
"Our hunting, and even the arrival of the Dragon God's emissary, are all meaningless …" Blue Flower stopped and turned around. She asked, "Yan Xiao has come back from the dead. Are you afraid? You told me the other day that you don't know when these days will end. "
"I don't deny my fear," Qing Bazhi said. "But for now, you should stay away from the priest."
Blue Flower ignored him and asked again, "Are you sad about Qing Qishu's death?"
"I don't like him, but I do feel sad for him." Qing Bazhi frowned. "What are you trying to say? You're not right today. "
"You don't know what's wrong." Qinghua shook her head and smiled strangely. "Do you know what caused all of this? Why did Qishu die for no reason? Why was it that after so many years, generation after generation of warriors had died at the hands of Xiang Shou, the ending had not changed at all? The priest interprets the oracle and guides the way forward! Why is it making us more and more difficult? Who do you think is wrong? Bazhi? "
Qing Bazhi gripped his spear. "Granny Priest watched us grow up. There must be some misunderstanding … Put down your dagger."
"Do you love me?" Blue Flower asked.
Qing Bazhi said bitterly, "You've always known my feelings. Why ask when you already know?"
He was sad not because Blue Flower doubted his feelings, but because she used his feelings as a weapon.
"If you love me, then help me kill her!" Blue Flower said. "Don't you think she's been a priest for too long? So many years have passed, but our situation hasn't changed at all. The great Holy Race is still holed up in the Land of God's Shadow … She betrayed the oracle and will be abandoned by the gods one day. Can you imagine that situation? It's time to change! "
She looked at Qing Bazhi. "In the future, I'll be the priest and you'll be the leader. We'll obey the gods' orders and make the Holy Race stronger together! What do you think? "
Looking at the beautiful face in front of him, Qing Bazhi's heart was in turmoil.
But his hands were steady. "Blue Flower, you better calm down. You're not clear-headed right now. I'm a warrior of the Holy Race and have a responsibility. I won't allow you to hurt a priest. "
"I'm very clear-headed. You're still confused."
Blue Flower said, "When Qishu left, he said he'd come back. When Yan Xiao died, I thought the nightmare was over … But what's changed? We're still like pigs and dogs, trapped in this place. We never know what's at the end of the world. We can only watch as our friends and family die. There's nothing we can do … Why do we have to do this? Since it's all meaningless, why do we have to persist? Why don't we change our path and follow the Dragon God's true will? The gods will shine on us! "
Qing Bazhi shook his head. "No, you can't hurt Granny. I can promise you anything else, but not this. "
Blue Flower looked at him coldly. Her eyes were like knives. "You can't compare to Qishu. He's willing to do anything for me!"
Qing Bazhi gripped his spear and didn't say anything.
At this moment, a sharp sound pierced through the air. Blue Flower quickly retreated and decisively swung her dagger, deflecting an arrow!
The arrow sank into the ground, its tail feathers still trembling.
It was clear that the attacker had used a lot of force and was determined to shoot.
Qing Jiuye, whose bow was fully drawn, floated down and looked at Blue Flower. "You don't understand Qishu at all. If he saw you today, he'd definitely regret loving you. If you dare take another step … Die! "
Blue Flower held her dagger and looked at Qing Jiuye with reddened eyes. She smiled sadly. "I know you won't kill me because you have me in your heart."
Whoosh!
What answered her was an arrow aimed at her throat!
Blue Flower had no choice but to take two steps back to avoid the arrow. At the same time, she got further and further away from the old woman on the recliner.
Qing Jiuye's voice was cold. "I have you in my heart. I'm not the reason you hurt Granny Priest. I know very well who's really protecting this place. Hundreds of years of painstaking effort isn't something you can slander with just a few words! The Forest Ocean Holy Race can't do without Granny Priest, but it can do without me and without you! "
"Hahaha …" Blue Flower laughed. "Slander?"
She looked at Qing Jiuye and then at Qing Bazhi. "As the Saint of Azure, I listen to the oracle. Do you know what the Dragon God said? "
Qing Jiuye said, "What the Dragon God said is not up to you. How the oracle is interpreted is Granny Priest's business. "
Blue Flower looked at him. "You don't believe me?"
She looked at Qing Bazhi. "You don't believe me either?"
"I don't believe you now," Qing Jiuye said directly.
Qing Bazhi said, "All these years, no matter who the Saint is, the oracle has always been interpreted by Granny Priest …"
"What if her interpretation is always contrary to the oracle?!" Blue Flower asked hatefully. "If I can prove this, as the Holy Race's warriors, you've been blessed with divine power for so many years! What choice do you have now? "
