On the cliff of the North Sea, Yingxiong was sitting cross-legged. The black fire on his body flickered incessantly. At this moment, he suddenly felt a bright light shining on his body, illuminating his entire body.
Under the sea, his scarlet eyes opened. He saw a pillar of light rising from the ground in the distance. It shot all the way to the top of the clouds, as if its end could not be seen.
He stared at the pillar of light for a moment. The black smoke flickered, and his entire person disappeared from the top of the cliff.
Near Bei An Mountain, Zhang Yu was walking in the dense forest. Wherever he passed, he only needed to issue an edict, and the trees in front of him would fall and the vines would separate, revealing a spacious path.
Captain Mo, the two Tuis, and the shaman all followed behind him with a face full of reverence.
After Zhang Yu mastered the power of the Word Seal, there were no longer many obstacles blocking his way in the dense forest. His speed suddenly increased, and he would soon be able to walk out of here.
When the plants blocking the path in front of him separated again, a light suddenly sprinkled down from above. Even in the dense forest at night, it was as bright as day.
His eyes moved slightly, and he immediately flew up to the sky. He saw that in the horizon, there was a straight beam of light shooting up to the sky. Even if the turbid tide was constantly twisting and changing, it could not cover up this light.
That was … the Fire Beacon?
He looked at that light. Only Tianxia's Fire Beacon could stand upright in the turbid tide like this.
He thought for a moment. Something big must have happened in Auspicious Light City. Otherwise, the Protectorate would not have lit the Fire Beacon before the turbid tide had completely receded.
He remembered the large expanse of white land formed in the dense forest. The two should be related.
It seemed that he had to hurry back as soon as possible.
And the Fire Beacon had actually pointed out the direction for him. He no longer needed to walk slowly here.
After thinking it over, he said to Captain Mo below, "This place is not far from Mount An. The minds of those two Tuwa demigods are already under my control. They can listen to your orders. You just have to keep moving forward. Remember not to leave behind anything you have on you."
Captain Mo raised his head and did not hesitate to cup his fists and say, "Yes, Sir."
As soon as her voice fell, she saw a ray of light that seemed to tear the sky apart traversing across the sky, followed by a roar that broke through the atmosphere. The trees beside her shook violently, and the branches and leaves danced wildly. She couldn't help but reach out to cover her face. When she looked again, the ray of light had already disappeared without a trace, leaving only the pillar of light at the end of the sky faintly standing there.
In front of the Summer Viewing Platform, Goddess Ya Qiu's spear had been broken, her helmet had fallen somewhere, and her leather armor was full of cracks and fist marks. Golden blood flowed down her cheeks from her smooth forehead.
Even she would not be able to withstand the pincer attack of two powerful opponents, especially Zhu Que. She deeply felt the strength of this opponent. Under normal circumstances, she would not necessarily win against this person in a one on one battle.
Although she could rely on her divine power to recover from her injuries, in the midst of an intense battle, new injuries would often appear before she could recover from the previous injuries. Now, she was already extremely weak, but even so, she still struggled to persevere.
She slashed down with her sword, and the powerful force sent Trotti flying. But then, with a crack, the sword broke. She immediately threw it away, took the bow and arrow from her back, and aimed at Zhu Que. The latter only felt a stabbing pain between his eyebrows, and his eyelids twitched. He immediately flashed and dodged.
Ya's fingers loosened, but the arrow did not shoot at him. Instead, it appeared directly on Trotti's body and violently collided with the light on his body, causing him to fly away.
But at this time, a figure rushed into the field and quickly attacked Ya's body a few times, forcing her to take a few steps back.
Ya Qiu could clearly feel the strain. Her opponent's strength was not high, but his skills were unparalleled. The strength, timing, and weight of his attacks were all just right. Moreover, his attacks were unusually coherent from the beginning to the end. In just a few rounds, he had forced her into a disadvantageous position.
At this time, Zhu Que suddenly appeared on her left side. The strong threat forced her to divert her attention to deal with it. That person immediately seized the opportunity. With just a grab and a pull, she lost her balance and gave up the entrance to the Summer Gazing Platform.
When Zhu Que saw this, he said, "I'll leave this to you." His figure flashed, and he had already rushed into the Summer Viewing Platform.
He walked up the narrow stairs and arrived at the spacious inner hall in an instant. His sharp eyes swept around and saw that there was no one here. There was only a thick stone platform in the middle.
He took a few steps forward and looked up. He saw a dazzling ball of light above, surrounded by pieces of glass that were pieced together into a spherical shape.
He felt that the glass plates and the ball of light should be the source of the beacon fire, so he floated up and threw a punch at the glass plate. But before his fist could hit it, a white light appeared in front of him.
In the next moment, his entire body trembled as he was repelled by a huge force. He crashed onto the hard ground and bounced a few more times until he hit the corner of the wall. Only then did he stop with a boom. At this moment, one could see that all the bones in his body were twisted and shattered.
A moment later, a black shadow flashed on his body, and he stood up as if nothing had happened.
But he looked up again and knew that he had no other way. Although it was only a short contact, he could judge that it was a strong protective force. It was not something he could shake alone.
He turned his head and scanned his surroundings.
The beacon tower was lit by someone, most likely by Governor Yang Jue. Because there were people from the Army of God outside, he should still be here. If he could find him, he might be able to ask this Xiao Tong how to shut down the beacon tower.
He walked around and soon found a stone door with a clear outline behind the stone platform. He slowly walked forward and stood still. He stretched out his hand and tried to press on the door, but he found that there was also a layer of white light flickering on the door. His fingers only touched it lightly, but they bounced back as if they had been electrocuted.
He looked at it for a while, then turned and walked out.
Liu Fengquan was hiding behind the door with Yang Jue. He also noticed the movement on the door just now and was very nervous. But after waiting for a long time and seeing that no one came in, he relaxed. He looked down at Yang Jue and saw that he was still unconscious. He took his pulse and found that there was nothing serious. Only then did he feel relieved. But in his heart, he thought, "The beacon has been lit. Tianxia … is he still here?"
Zhu Que walked outside and saw Qi Dian leaning against the wall in boredom. He asked, "Where is he?"
Qi Hua motioned to the sky and said, "He flew away. I couldn't catch up." He said regretfully, "It's a pity that we lost a good opponent."
Zhu Que didn't care too much. He didn't connect Goddess Ya Qiu with Yang Ying. He only thought that Yang Ying, Yang Jue, and the others were hiding in that secret room. In his opinion, one less powerful god was one less trouble.
He leaped up and flew from the Governor's Manor, landed in front of the administrative office, and walked in. After seeing Deng Mingqing, he reported the matter to him.
Deng Mingqing's expression was cold. He thought for a moment and immediately ordered people to call Trotti, Yao Hongyi, and Mr. Silver over.
He briefly explained the current situation and said in a deep voice, "Tianxia's beacon has been lit. If the Tianxia mainland sees it, it's very likely that they will send reinforcements. Believe me, when that time comes, it will be an unstoppable force."
Yao Hongyi frowned and said, "Does Tianxia really still exist?"
Deng Mingqing said indifferently, "Tianxia won't be destroyed."
Yao Hongyi looked at him with slight surprise. Deng Mingqing had always been the backbone of the subversive faction. Everything about the Army of God could be said to be driven by him from behind the scenes. However, he never understood what the other party's purpose was.
He didn't take any divine pills, nor did he intend to wear a divine robe. Now, he was even more certain of the existence of Tianxia. His attitude seemed to be firmer than anyone else's, which made it very difficult for Yao Hongyi to understand.
Deng Mingqing continued, "However, the turbid tide hasn't completely receded yet. Tianxia might not be able to see the beacon. As long as we push down the beacon tower in time, we still have a chance of victory."
Yao Hongyi looked at Zhu Que and said, "Didn't Marquis Zhu say that the beacon tower is indestructible?"
Zhu Que replied, "Yes, at least I can't destroy it. Moreover, the beacon tower contains enormous power. Attacking it is equivalent to fighting against the entire beacon tower. If anyone thinks it's possible, why don't you give it a try?"
Trotti said affirmatively, "Yes, I've also seen it. The beacon tower is very sturdy. It's not something we can destroy." He couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of the light that shot into the sky. Perhaps only those powerful ancient gods could shake such enormous power.
Mr. Silver said, "Actually, there's another way. My suggestion is …" He looked at everyone and said, "to awaken God An in advance."
Trotti said with a serious expression, "That's too hasty. Even if we can awaken Him now, we won't be able to control Him."
Mr. Silver said, "The Zhenyuan Point in the south has already been destroyed. I just received news that the one in the north has also been found. The last Zhenyuan Point should be in Xuanfu. We don't have to destroy it first. This way, we can summon a portion of God An's power and not let Him completely break free."
In the underground of Auspicious Light City, there was an ancient god known as "Tranquil". He was also the first god worshipped by the Tranquil people. He once established a divine kingdom in the location of Auspicious Light City, but later collapsed in the changes of the era.
Because this was a cruel and evil god, the An people's worshippers didn't want Him to return to the human world. Under the deliberate concealment, the An people didn't even remember this god.
After the Dongting Protectorate arrived, they discovered this ancient god slumbering underground. Furthermore, they saw that the Divine Temple on the surface could help to seal this god. Thus, even if they were to build a new building, they would only reconstruct it on the old site. Furthermore, they went one step further and established three Zhenyuan Points on the territory of the Dongting Protectorate to continuously extract the divine energy of this ancient god for their own use.
The reason why the entire Auspicious Light City was like spring all year round and shrouded in light was because they used the power of this god.
One of the main reasons why the Gods Recovery Society wanted to use Auspicious Light City as a divine kingdom was to awaken Him and then control Him. They would use His powerful Divine Power to make Him the puppet god of the divine kingdom. They could get everything without paying too much.
Deng Mingqing said indifferently, "Since Mr. Silver said so, let's give it a try."
The man wearing the silver mask looked at Trotti. This EsGod thought for a moment and said, "The world is full of surprises. Even Gods don't know everything. If we plug a loophole, it's inevitable that another one will appear. But I don't object because we have no other choice."
Yao Hongyi stroked his beard and thought for a moment. Finally, he said, "Seconded."
Mr. Silver laughed. Although he was wearing a mask, everyone here could feel that he was laughing. He said, "Then let's hold the ceremony. It's time for this ancient god to wake up from his slumber before the epoch."
