The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 678 God-Slaying Sword
Chen Xiao chewed on this sentence repeatedly.
He suddenly thought of the Zhushen Hall (God-Slaying Hall), remembering that Chu Qingluan had said that the god they wanted to slay was the Heavenly Dao God.
At this time, Tu Shanche said eloquently, "We cultivators are just rations for the Heavenly Dao people of the upper realm. They descend once every five hundred years, like farmers harvesting after autumn."
"Five hundred years ago, we finally united and resisted, but in the end, we were no match for those Heavenly Dao people."
"But our unity also aroused their fear, so they destroyed the spiritual source and divided the dragon veins, turning Kyushu into a place of spiritual exhaustion, and the entire planet entered the Age of Dharma Decline."
"The remnants of the cultivators could only hide in the middle and small thousand worlds, eking out a living, waiting for the situation to change."
"And the biggest change among them is your appearance."
Tu Shanche looked at Chen Xiao with burning eyes.
"My appearance?"
Chen Xiao was a little dazed. He felt a huge responsibility suddenly weighing on his shoulders.
This responsibility actually coincided with his original intention of protecting his family, his loved ones, and his friends, but it was a completely different feeling.
One was actively doing it, and the other was forced to accept it... Naturally, there was a huge difference in the feeling.
"In short, in a word, if we want to change the rules of this world, we must overthrow the Heavenly Dao!"
Tu Shanche seemed to see Chen Xiao's concerns, so he simplified it, "Because only by overthrowing the Heavenly Dao can we ensure that the worst result among those thousands of possibilities does not happen."
Chen Xiao was silent. Although he had heroism in his chest, at the same time, he also had a feeling of being played like a monkey.
He asked, "Why me, why you? Why us?"
Tu Shanche replied, "Because we have all been to that dream, we are the direct disciples of the Canglan God Emperor, so only we are variables that exist in the rules, and only we have the opportunity to break the rules... Although the opportunity is渺茫, we are the only opportunity."
Chen Xiao smiled bitterly, "However, even if we do it, we are still part of the Canglan God Emperor's puppets. He personally taught us the Dao, let us become variables in the rules, so that in the end we break the rules... It is just what he wants us to do."
"If the Heavenly Dao is a plunderer, then the Canglan God Emperor is the controller of everything. Our resistance is just a monkey show in his eyes. If we succeed, he will just watch a wonderful monkey show..."
Tu Shanche nodded, confirming Chen Xiao's statement, "I have also thought about what you said, because according to my guess, the reason why the Canglan God Emperor created us in the domain space is just because he was bored."
"But, we still have to fight!"
"If the Heavenly Dao is unkind, then we will overthrow the Heavenly Dao!"
"If the God Emperor is playing with people, then we will overthrow the God Emperor!"
Tu Shanche was no longer the indifferent and refined look he had before. At this moment, he was more excited than anyone else.
The boundless heroism in his chest was the power accumulated over three thousand years.
"Well said!"
Chen Xiao was also ignited by Tu Shanche's passion, and then he asked a more practical question, "Do you already have a plan?"
"No."
Tu Shanche shook his head very naturally, incredibly smoothly.
"..."
Chen Xiao was speechless for a while.
Damn, after talking for so long, it's all emotions, without any substance, right?
"Hahahaha, Brother Chen, this matter needs to be discussed in the long term, don't rush!"
Tu Shanche's title for Chen Xiao has changed, from Mr. Chen to Brother Chen.
Although it sounds more intimate, it feels very awkward to be called brother by a three-thousand-year-old person.
"It's not that there are no clues. In fact, the first thing you need to do is to collect the last holy relic."
Tu Shanche said, "The Zhanshen Sword (God-Slaying Sword) is hidden in the Xianyin Realm (Immortal Concealment Realm)."
"Zhanshen Sword (God-Slaying Sword)?"
Chen Xiao is now a little sensitive when he hears this name, "It won't be slaying the Canglan God Emperor, will it?"
Tu Shanche snapped his fingers and nodded, "You guessed it right, this Zhanshen Sword (God-Slaying Sword) was indeed forged to slay the Canglan God Emperor, but unfortunately, so far, it has not completed its mission."
Nonsense, if it had completed its mission, it would mean that the Canglan God Emperor was already dead! Then there would be nothing for Chen Xiao to do.
"As far as I know, the five great holy relics were left by the Eternal Immortal Emperor, doesn't that mean... the Eternal Immortal Emperor once tried to slay the gods?"
Chen Xiao asked.
"I guess that's probably the case. The Eternal Immortal Emperor failed to slay the gods and fell."
Tu Shanche nodded, but he was not sure, just guessing.
"According to rumors, collecting the five great holy relics can open the tomb of the Eternal Immortal Emperor. Maybe only by opening his tomb will the answer to this question come to light."
As he spoke, Tu Shanche looked at Chen Xiao with a look of 'young man, it's all up to you'.
"Speaking of which, the five great holy relics have also been wandering on Earth for many years. Has no one ever collected them all?"
Chen Xiao asked tentatively.
In fact, Chen Xiao already had an answer in his heart to this question.
The five great holy relics were very likely to have been collected by someone, and that person was the Tin Man who had left traces for thousands of years.
The reason why Chen Xiao asked this was just to know if Tu Shanche knew about the Tin Man.
If he didn't know, then everything the two of them had said earlier could be discarded.
Fortunately, Tu Shanche's answer was affirmative.
"Of course, you should have heard of the Tin Man, right? He collected all the holy relics, but he failed to open the tomb of the Eternal Immortal Emperor."
Tu Shanche said lightly.
When he mentioned the Tin Man, his words did not reveal the awe that the previous people had shown.
There was even a hint of disdain.
"Why couldn't he open the tomb of the Eternal Immortal Emperor?"
Chen Xiao asked a seemingly foolish question.
However, Tu Shanche smiled appreciatively and replied, "That's a good question, and the only person who can answer your question, besides me, is probably no one else."
"Brother, can we stop being mysterious?"
Chen Xiao rolled his eyes and complained.
"Because the Eternal Immortal Emperor came from Kyushu, so after he fell, his tomb was also left to the people of Kyushu."
Speaking of this, Tu Shanche changed the subject, "And the Tin Man is not from Kyushu, so he naturally cannot open the tomb left by the Eternal Immortal Emperor."
"Oh? The Tin Man is not from Kyushu? Is he a foreigner?"
Chen Xiao asked in confusion.
"..."
This time, it was Tu Shanche's turn to be speechless.
"The Kyushu I'm talking about refers to the entire Earth, after all, Kyushu was once the only center of the Earth."
"The Tin Man is not an Earthling, he is from the Celestial Realm!"
