Cataclysm King

Chapter 574 The Secret of the Origin of the Kashi Civilization

A special open space was set up in the canyon to isolate those infected with the disease, and treatment work was carried out in an orderly manner.

The originally unsolvable evil plot of the Orlan Royal Court was cleverly cracked by the legacy left by the Talen Empire three thousand years ago.

As long as the plague doesn't spread, there won't be any problem.

Everyone in the Kiran Defense Line was on duty and was not affected much.

After this little accident, the pace of war quickly resumed.

In response to the previous evil plot of the Oran royal family, the coalition forces' artillery bombardment became more intense.

Some giant artillery pieces with ultra-long range were also brought out, and artillery shells weighing several tons were loaded into the gun barrels. Then tongues of flame gushed out, accompanied by thunderous roars, and brilliant flames exploded everywhere on the enemy's defense lines in the far distance of sight.

Master Merlin was going to study living samples of the Black Death and had no interest in chatting with Ji Xun.

Ji Xun jumped onto the rock wall and sat on it side by side with the mushroom-headed guy.

After coming up, I realized that the position chosen by the mushroom head had an excellent view.

Just by looking up, you can see the lights of Lige City a hundred miles away.

Ji Xun asked, "When did you arrive?"

"Just arrived."

Jia Yu responded, "I took care of some things on the way. Fortunately, I wasn't too late."

He did not take off his cloak, and his entire body was hidden in the darkness of nothingness.

Even though the moon was shining brightly in the sky, one could not clearly see his light-seeking mask that seemed to hide countless secrets.

"About the Black Death?"

Ji Xun asked casually.

But he actually knew that it was definitely not the case.

The two of them seemed to be chatting, and Jia Yu's tone was very calm: "Of course not. 'Black Death' is an open card in the game, so it's not surprising that the Oran royal family played it. But it is a little earlier than expected."

"Oh, that's right."

Ji Xun raised his eyebrows slightly as he listened.

He also practiced the magical secret technique of "I am the World", so of course he could keep up with this guy's train of thought.

The event is like a card game. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is difficult to guess the cards in the other party's hand when playing cards.

But in the eyes of the card master who practices this magical secret technique, it is almost an open battle. The only variable is the order of playing cards.

Ji Xun paused and said casually: "Could it be that you want to go to the other side and assassinate King Arthur?"

Two hundred years ago, the old Talen Dynasty was destroyed, and the thirteen members of the Illuminati Hermitage were directly involved in that bloody coup.

Now that King Augustus of Chujiu is a member of the Illuminati, the entire organization must also be involved.

Jia Yu did not shy away from saying it, and said self-deprecatingly: "I have this idea. But I am not sure about the current situation."

"hehe."

Ji Xun smiled.

If possible, killing King Arthur, who has been corrupted by the tyrant, is definitely the best way to end the war in the Eastern Wilds.

But no matter how he deduced, there was no possibility of the assassination being successful.

Now King Arthur is protected by many foreign gods, so it is not so easy to kill him.

Jia Yu looked at the Orlan side that was still charging with cannon fodder in the distance, and added: "That King Arthur is about to enter the ninth level. Even if we don't count a few Outer Gods, it will be difficult to assassinate him."

"Oh so soon?"

Ji Xun was also very surprised.

He himself was also an eighth-rank card master, and he knew better than anyone how illusory the ninth rank was.

That is a height that cannot be reached without a great opportunity.

Moreover, this is the Eastern Wasteland which is barren in elements.

Even with the blessing of royal power and luck, it would not be possible to be promoted so quickly.

Jia Yu obviously knew why, and said, "You should have noticed that those guys were using civilians as sacrifices. But in fact, they were not all for the purpose of accumulating mediums for a few Outer Gods. And the ninth-level occupation card of the [King of Spades-Tyrant] sequence is called [Dictator], which is a profession that requires the sacrifice of a large number of lives. That King Arthur planned to sacrifice a million civilians and use that black coffin to forcibly advance to the ninth level."

"."

Ji Xun frowned as he listened, thought for a moment, and asked, "Does this [Dictator] sequence have any special abilities?"

He had heard of this profession exclusive to the Augustan royal family, but he didn't know much about it.

He also guessed that this mushroom-headed man specifically explained these words to him, and thought that there must be a deeper meaning behind them.

Jia Yu replied, "[Dictator] is the last job transfer of the Tyrant sequence. This sequence can touch the 'Power of Cosmic Rules' that other job sequences cannot. This is where the high-level sequence has a slight advantage over other sequences at the top, with a higher upper limit. And 'Dictator' is as its name suggests, it is absolute control and rule-making. As far as I know, this is a job that has the ability to forcibly change the rules. This is an ability that is highly compatible with the kingship. Once successfully promoted, the strength will be much stronger than that of the same level."

"Change the rules by force?"

Ji Xun's expression became slightly strange after listening to this.

Isn't this an ability similar to that of the Curse Card [彩JOKER]?

In his mind, it seemed as if certain clues were connected.

But even if I was promoted to the ninth level, what would that do?

In this decisive battle in the Eastern Wilderness, it is not possible for a ninth-level warrior to break the deadlock.

Ji Xun thought for a moment and said, "But no matter how powerful he is, the backlash of the power of the high-level demon god is also very strong. If he is forced to advance, the probability of him being completely deformed will be very high."

Jia Yu was of course aware of this: "Yes."

Ji Xun's eyes moved, as if he was missing some cause and effect, and he couldn't figure out some key points.

He then asked: "So, what is King Arthur going to do?"

This mushroom-head said so much, he probably knows something, and there are some things that he probably can't say openly.

"this one"

Jia Yu's tone suddenly became deep. After a moment's silence, he said, "I wasn't sure before. But recently I have deciphered some hidden contents on the [Forbidden Ruins Stone Tablet] that was left in Shangbang Prison in Wuzui City. I have seen some 'truths' that were concealed in history by Lord Nan and that generation of Light Chasers."

really.

When Ji Xun heard this beginning, he knew that things were not simple.

Jia Yu continued, "Behind each of the fifty-two Demon God sequences is a Demon God. The mysterious deity that the [King of Spades - Tyrant] sequence points to, who has always been called the 'Dark Demon God' by the world, is actually a 'Titan Tyrant Utixius'."

At this point, he paused, looked at Ji Xun and said, "You've been to the Dead Zone, so you should know what this means."

Dead Zone, Titan.

Ji Xun of course thought of connecting the two together.

It now seems that the corpses of the Titans in the endless pit are directly related to the Tyrant sequence.

The only thing that could make Jia Yu so secretive was something related to the "Plane Supervisor" mentioned by Emperor Lanlingster.

Jia Yu's tone revealed a feeling that the more he knew, the more he felt suffocated by the secret.

After saying it out loud, I felt like I was relieved.

The pause was like organizing the language to more appropriately express the shocking secret that was about to be revealed.

He continued, "The origin of the Card Master civilization is written on the stone tablet. It is said that before the Age of Chaos, a world-shaking war took place in this plane. The gods fought each other until the sky was dark and countless gods fell. The fifty-two demon gods pointed to by the fifty-two sequences of the Card Master civilization were either the fallen allies of the Card King JOKER or the enemies he killed. JOKER used his great divine power to seal the divine power of the fifty-two fallen demon gods in a special 'burial ground for gods', and then used fifty-two demon mark source cards as divine power carriers to create the Card Master civilization system. He also recorded the secrets and magical powers that the demon gods were good at, and recorded them on fifty-two original copper plates. At the same time, he used fifty-two [Forbidden Ruins Stone Tablets] to record the secrets of that prehistoric war of gods."

"."

After hearing these words, Ji Xun immediately felt the weight of history pressing on his shoulders, and his breathing became heavier.

The secret revealed by Jia Yu made clear the origin of the entire Kashi civilization.

It turns out that those forbidden stone tablets are actually the tombstones of gods?

But what was a little different was that Ji Xun felt that he might have seen the mysterious "burial place of gods".

When they went to the Extreme Thief City and the people from the Holy See came to capture Ivan, Ji Xun and Ivan were trapped in a mirror space.

Later, due to a special opportunity, Ji Xun accidentally entered a space where time did not flow.

There are fifty-three forbidden stone tablets there.

Now listening to the cause and effect, the extra piece is very likely the "tombstone" of the King of Cards, JOKER himself.

Jia Yu: "There are eight sequences related to royal power, including the four sequences of Queen Q. The reason why the Augustus family regards the sequence [Spade King-Tyrant] as the inheritance sequence is not only the compatibility, but also a very important reason, which is to control it as much as possible without any accidents."

"."

Some things cannot be said too clearly, otherwise they may be noticed by some supreme being who is watching from the dark.

But Ji Xun already understood.

If the Augustus clan cannot control the loss of divinity, then if other people get this sequence, it will most likely be contaminated.

After the [Tyrant] sequence was contaminated, the will of the "Titan Tyrant" pointed to by the devil's mark was revived.

This may explain why Ji Xun had never been able to figure out what King Arthur was going to do.

Probably not what Arthur was going for.

But after being polluted, what will the will of the Titan tyrant do!
Once Ji Xun figured out the cause and effect relationship, thoughts in his mind burst out like a gusher.

For a moment, countless lines of cause and effect surged towards the distance like a flood.

This reminded Ji Xun of a scene that had happened in history.

The three thousand year old "Mad King" Alduin also lost control of his demonic mark and was backfired, and then made many incredible decisions.

At that time, I thought it was just the stupidity and cruelty caused by pollution.

Now that all the clues are pieced together, things may not be as simple as recorded on the surface.

The collapse of the Talen Empire back then actually left many doubts.

Ji Xun had been to the alternate dimension in "Thousands of Troops Besieging the City" and knew about the decisive battle where the capital of Taron was besieged by the army of foreign gods.

But he did not see the outcome of that decisive battle with his own eyes.

Doubts arise.

It was just a siege, what happened afterwards?
But that period of history was completely cut off and there is no record of it.

The truth seemed to have been deliberately hidden.

Make it out of reach for ordinary people.

Ji Xun worked back from later events and came to understand the general outline.

The Tarun Empire collapsed, six of the seven Outer Gods were sealed, and only the 'Source of the Plague - Takpara' escaped to the southern continent.

But this "result" itself has many problems.

For example, who sealed the last few Outer Gods?
The most reasonable explanation is that it was done by the two most powerful beings of the time, Nan Shenyu, the last high priest of Taren, and Faro, the light chaser of that time.

But why was the Talen Empire destroyed even after all seven Scourge Lords were dealt with?
In the end, Talen's side was indeed defeated. But it's not as if all the god-level masters were wiped out because of the internal fighting in Innocence City, right?
It now seems that in addition to the Seven Lords of Calamity, there may be some "mysterious enemies" who have left no trace in history.

And that "mysterious enemy" is the ultimate culprit.

He also has a very close relationship with the Seven Lords of Calamity.

All Ji Xun could think of was the "plane supervisor" that Emperor Lanlingster mentioned, whose existence was unknown. Jia Yu's words contained a lot of information.

The more I thought about it, the more hidden information appeared like a gusher, filling my entire brain.

Ji Xun's deep pupils were faintly filled with waves of thought.

As he thought about it, the corners of his mouth gradually curved up.

Although he also felt the mysterious and heavy pressure and the sense of crisis like a thorn in his back.

But at the same time, this feeling of unravelling the mystery of the world is great.

Ji Xun's entire thoughts seemed to become clearer.

I had many doubts before, but now they are clear.

For example, the ultimate puzzle of the plane that had puzzled him before.

That is why the Seven Calamity Lords can only be sealed but not killed!
Ji Xun didn't know the truth.

But the clues at the moment were enough for him to deduce a possibility that was very close to the truth.

He could think of some analogous situations.

Just like your own shadow clone, as long as the original body is immortal, the shadow can be resurrected infinitely no matter how dead it is.

In other words, the Seven Lords of Calamity could be the incarnations of the "Plane Supervisor"?

"Hehe. Seven god-level clones? Tsk tsk, how powerful is that guy?"

Ji Xun closed his eyes.

Just the thought made me feel groggy.

It was as if there was a mysterious force in this world preventing him from thinking about this question, preventing his thoughts from touching that existence.

Ineffable, indescribable, and unmemorable.
Ji Xun couldn't remember what he was thinking about.

But I remember that groggy feeling.

It was like seeing the advanced demon language on the Forbidden Ruins stele for the first time. It was the turbid feeling after coming into contact with something beyond cognition and understanding.

Consciousness can no longer describe what the brain thinks, and everything becomes empty.

This abnormality is not a bad thing, but a hint.

This means that he is close to the truth.

It's like feeling the warmth of the sun. Even a blind person who can't see the sky can tell the direction of the sun.

Who sealed the seven monarchs of natural disasters?
It is obviously the legendary JOKER King of Cards.

Since he was able to create the card master system, he was already a powerful being that Ji Xun could not imagine.

The JOKER's strength is likely to easily kill the seven Outer Gods who are stirring up trouble in the plane.

But why not kill it once and for all, but just seal it in the spell pottery jar?

It is very likely that it cannot be killed.

Some may just take advantage of the situation.

For example, more than 100,000 years ago, Emperor Lanlingster also made a similar arrangement.

Back then, the Golden Dragon God Marodis led the dragon clan to ambush Lanlingster. Although the emperor was defeated, he might have the ability to die together with them.

But the emperor didn't do that.

If you cannot change the established facts, then try to make the outcome as favorable to you as possible.

"Going with the flow" is one of the core forces of "I am the world".

Judging from the contents on the [Emperor's Stone Tablet] on Rune Plateau, the emperor back then was also proficient in this secret technique.

So Emperor Lanlingster exiled Malodius to the underworld, giving him the possibility to return to the Card Master's plane.

This layout is so brilliant and the planning is so profound. Even Ji Xun still can't see the whole picture.

The high-level thinking of the chess player is beyond the imagination of the chess pieces that have not yet jumped out of the chessboard.

But Ji Xun could deduce from some facts that had already come true that the emperor must have had a purpose in leaving behind the Golden Dragon God Marodis.

And that purpose must be beneficial to the Card Master civilization.

What can be seen now is that the Golden Dragon God Marodis has restrained the dragon clan, which has brought the Kashi civilization a rare breathing time and an opportunity to change the predicament.

Therefore, there must be a deep meaning behind the seven jars left by the former JOKER King.

Ji Xun couldn't help but laugh at himself when he thought of this.

Now, those jars still have no use to him except to help him practice the breathing method faster.

After all, my strength is too weak and I am not qualified to access those things.

For a long time, the two did not speak.

Jia Yu knew that Ji Xun could understand.

I'm afraid he is the only one who can understand.

After sharing, the heavy burden on Jia Yu's shoulders disappeared for the most part.

He looked at Ji Xun, and even through the mask, he could see the smile in his eyes.

This was not there just now.

Jia Yu looked at Ji Xun's increasingly complicated expression, and finally couldn't help but chuckle: "Oh, do you understand?"

"."

Ji Xun responded with a helpless roll of his eyes. Of course he knew what the other party was asking.

This guy has already done it once.

[Square 7 - Bard], guys who write novels seem to have a strong desire to express themselves.

Even if it is in a very obscure way, it will be said.

This guy is good at hiding secrets between the lines.

Just like in front of you.

It’s not that this mushroom-head guy is pretending to be profound.

But those words really can't be said openly.

Jia Yu, like his predecessors, discovered the truth and then spread it in a subtle way.

The Kashi civilization has been passed down for countless years, and there must be people who have noticed the truth of that history that was deliberately erased.

Like Lanlingster, even the last high priest of Taren, Nan Shenyu, the Light Chaser Faro, and even Nan Jing's mother and so on.

But they cannot express it, tell it to others, or record it in any book.

So they could only break up the shocking secret into pieces and hide it bit by bit in places that could not be easily noticed.

For example, different dimensions (thousands of troops besieging the city), traces in ancient ruins (the stone tablet of Rainbow Spring), historical interruptions (the collapse of Talen, the separation of the flames), and personal involvement (the destruction of Innocence City).
They left some "doubts" in their own time. Anyone in later generations who is qualified to touch those secrets can unravel those mysteries and deduce some truth.

It was as if our ancestors had dug their own graves and buried the burial objects.

Only future generations will have the opportunity to find clues from the dust of history and from historical relics, and then get a glimpse of the hidden big secrets.

There are too many thoughts in my mind and I can't sort them out for the time being.

You can slowly think about what happened in history.

But the decisive battle before us is imminent.

I originally thought that there were only troubles with the Oran Royal Court and a few Outer Gods, but now it seems that even bigger troubles are still lurking in the dark.

Ji Xun and Jia Yu looked at each other, frowning again and again. They wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

Jia Yu looked at his expression and smiled lightly, "I came here specifically to see you this time."

"."

Hearing this, Ji Xun's eyes twitched. No wonder the feeling just now was so familiar.

This guy is here to ask for help again!
As expected, Jia Yu said directly: "If I suddenly 'disappear', there are still some things that need to be known by someone. Others are not qualified to listen to what I just said, and they can't understand it. Only you are suitable."

As he spoke, he looked at Ji Xun and said apologetically, "Of course, I hope I didn't bring any burden to you."

"."

Ji Xun rolled his eyes and spit out, "Then what are you talking about?"

This mushroom-head certainly knows that he is not afraid of trouble.

I told him that it was all because of trust and a tacit understanding of mutual respect.

"Hahaha"

Jia Yu smiled brightly.

The two didn't care about this at all.

Ji Xun looked at his smile, but suddenly his eyes narrowed.

The "disappearance" this guy mentioned is probably like the Nan Shenyu who suddenly disappeared into history.

Because they have access to certain secrets, they will make some attempts, and once those attempts fail, they may be erased by some higher-dimensional existence.

Jia Yu said, and took out another booklet: "This is my new understanding of "I am the world" recently. It has reached the peak that humans can reach."

When Ji Xun heard this, he knew that this guy wanted him to help pass on this secret technique and the inheritance of the Light Chaser lineage.

But after hearing what he said, Ji Xun was surprised and asked: "Have you touched the 'realm of rules'?"

"Ah."

Jia Yu's words were light, but they seemed to have the power to wipe out everything in a snap. "Spying on those secrets is actually my promotion ceremony. The chaos in the East Wasteland and the chaos in the entire plane are all a game of chess to me. Although I haven't jumped out of the chessboard, I can already glimpse a little bit of the chess player's thoughts."

"."

Ji Xun's expression instantly became serious as he listened, and he felt inexplicably respectful.

Only then did he realize that he really had never understood the Mushroom Head's realm from the beginning to the end.

From the first time they met, he found that Jia Yu's realm was far ahead; now he was clearly at the eighth level, but when he looked up, that guy was still ahead.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun also sighed, and finally said only one word: "Okay."

He didn't ask this guy what he was going to do. With a "OK", he actually took over the baton handed to him.

When Jia Yu saw this, a smile of relief appeared in his eyes, "Okay, then I won't stay any longer."

Before he finished speaking, his entire body gradually became transparent and he was about to disappear on the spot.

Ji Xun looked at him in silence for a moment, then said, "Take care."

"Ah."

When I looked again, the figure had disappeared on the spot.

The light chaser is like a pioneer who cuts through the thorns in the darkness. He moves forward courageously, even if he is pierced by thorns and covered in blood, he never looks back, just to find a correct path to dawn for those who come after him.
