Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 754: The Plague of Locusts Sweeping the World

That was the jade box that sealed the plague locusts.

Once the plague locusts are released, they are bound to bring catastrophic disasters to the human race and the world.

In the past, Wu Guang had felt despair more than once, and had thought about releasing the locusts more than once.

But every time, after despair, he would restrain the urge to release the locusts.

Because he himself was also a mortal, a commoner, so he knew very well the suffering of mortals, the suffering of the common people - mortals and common people, just for a bite to eat, have already done their best.

How could he understand people's conscience by using this plague of locusts to deprive the common people of their only remaining food?
But at this moment, the string in his heart, the string of reason and restraint, finally broke completely.

Because he suddenly discovered that although they lived in the human world, and although the majority of people in this human world were common people, in fact, this human world had never belonged to common people like him.

This world belongs to those aristocratic families and those nobles.

What good would it do for a commoner like him, even if he achieved great success?
Aren’t they all pawns in the hands of those aristocratic families?
They can manipulate it any way they want.

Just like this Daze City at this moment.

Several years of perseverance.

Countless sacrifices.

And the hopes of countless people in this city.

It was decided amid the conversations of those aristocratic families.

But it shouldn't be.

Faced with all this, they could only choose to give in.

Retreat once, then retreat again.

Finally, there is no way back.

Just like at the beginning, they had to accept the help of those aristocratic families and let those people who came from aristocratic families step into this Daze City, control every aspect of the city, and control the various joint defenses in the city.

And until now, because he was strangled by those aristocratic families, even Chen She could only fulfill the wishes of those aristocratic families and die on his own initiative to make room for their people. Otherwise, countless people in this city who trusted them would be implicated.

At this moment, Wu Guang could imagine how calmly and complacently the noble families thousands of miles away were manipulating the fate of their Daze.

The reason for all this is that they, the common people, still have room to compromise - because they are willing to compromise, they have no choice but to compromise.

Because there is still room, we must make some room.

Then, the common people took a step back, and the wealthy and powerful families took ten steps forward.

Then, those noble families will always be high and mighty.

Those noble families certainly have their reasons - they have been passed down for thousands of generations, and there are outstanding people in every generation. With such management and such accumulation, why can't they be at the top?
Why should a family's accumulation of thousands of generations lose to one person's twenty years?

So, if that’s the case, let’s destroy them all!
Let the wings of the plague locusts cover the sky and make everything vanish.

Let the accumulation of those noble families for thousands of years turn into dust.

Let's start all over again!
Give these common people a chance to truly blossom in their next twenty years.

Then, the talisman array on the box faded away under the flush of blood.

Contained in the blood was Wu Guang's will, the despair of turning everything into ashes, destroying everything, and the hope of starting all over again in the ashes. All of these flowed into the jade box along with the blood and became part of the plague locust inside the jade box.

As the jade box rolled on the ground, it also split into two.

Locusts as clear as green jade also fell out of the jade box.

Then the plague locusts revived.

The sound of the wings rubbing against each other, crackling, echoed between heaven and earth, and in the hearts of every living being.

All the disastrous energy, all the dissatisfaction, all the anger, and all the resentment in the world are connected with this locust plague.

As a result, the color of the plague locusts quickly changed from pure jade to withered yellow.

It rose and fell from the ground, and with just a light jump, it had already jumped onto Wu Guang's body - and then began to chew the flesh and blood of Wu Guang's body.

One makes ten, ten makes a hundred...

In an instant, the plague locusts covered Wu Guang's entire body.

"Eat it!"

"Eat it!"

"Eat everything cleanly!" Wu Guang's voice sounded like a madman, but he did not resist at all, and even tore open his clothes to let the plague locusts devour him.

If he had some doubts about the horror of the plague locust before, then now, after seeing that the first thing the plague locust did after it came into the world was to devour its host, he no longer had any doubts about the horror of the plague locust.

Then, right in front of Zhang Liang's eyes, the living Wu Guang was devoured completely by the plague locusts, leaving no bones, clothes, etc.

Immediately afterwards, the plague locust flapped its wings and flew out of the palace.

When they flew in groups, all the insects inside and outside the swamp were transformed into new locusts under the influence of their breath and joined the group of locusts.

In just a few moments, the size of the locust swarm had grown from the size of a palace to a size large enough to cover the entire Daze City.

When the huge swarm of locusts emerged from the swamp and flew in all directions, the more than 100,000 Qin troops besieging the city were the first to bear the brunt.

Countless locusts fell into the army formation and were crushed by it.

But the next moment, more plague locusts appeared from the corpses of the plague locusts - the corpses that had fallen on the ground and had not been picked up turned into seedbeds for breeding plague locusts.

Even some of the soldiers who were still alive had plague locusts manifesting on their bodies.

So in an instant, the battlefield filled with corpses was empty!
The army that was still fighting with Liu San and others for Chen She's corpse chose to retreat under the horrific plague of locusts and formed a defensive formation to avoid the crazy, all-devouring locusts.

Then, with a look of horror on his face, he watched the green in the distance turn into the brown and yellow of locusts, and finally into a bare earth color.

In the camp at the rear, a clever general hurried to the warehouse where food and grass were stored. Outside the warehouse, dead locusts were piled thicker than the walls.

And inside the wall, the food and fodder in the warehouse was completely gone.

"It's over!"

……

"It's over!" Wherever the locusts passed, countless county governors and county magistrates collapsed in front of the warehouse, feeling weak all over.

Even the storehouses in the city that were heavily guarded and sealed with humanitarian spirit were eaten up by the plague locusts. One can imagine what the situation was like outside the city.

"We're fucked!"

"The Qin Dynasty is finished!" In an instant, countless officials began to wail and cry.

No matter what the reason was - according to Qin law, if the granary was lost, these county governors and county magistrates would be beheaded.

"How is this possible?" Countless noble families and sects were also dumbfounded by this sudden locust plague.

It's not like everyone hasn't experienced locust plagues - as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, there were immortal gods who would regularly travel to the human world. With the support of the king and the princes, they would regularly observe the flow of calamity energy in the human world to determine whether there would be a locust plague, and then extinguish the locust plague, delay it, or guide it to other places.

In short, although the locust plague is a disaster for humans, it is a completely controllable disaster.

But at this time, the locust plague that started from the Daze was completely different from what everyone knew and from all the locust plagues in history!

"The sky has changed!"

When the aristocratic families and immortal sects in the distance received news one after another that the counties, aristocratic families, and even the immortal sects near the big lake were all attacked by the locusts, and the food, spiritual plants, immortal herbs, etc. in them were all eaten up by the locusts, everyone realized one thing clearly.

The situation in this world has changed!
Some of the wealthy families who reacted quickly, in addition to expressing their feelings, ordered their servants and descendants to start digging cellars to store grain in the cellars to avoid the locusts and the impending disaster.

Those sects also called back their own disciples and activated the magic array to guard the sect, treating this as a "war" concerning the survival of the sect.

And those Daluo who were watching the ups and downs of the world were completely speechless at this time.

They were clearly the ones who were in control of everything, but right now, the changes in the situation were beyond the control of all of them.

First, the Human Emperor appeared.

Then, under the Human Emperor, someone rebelled and raised the banner of rebellion.

Then, Xiang Yu single-handedly defeated the army, mobilized the remaining fortunes of the Six Kingdoms, mobilized the remaining fortunes of Ji Zhou, and fought against the Nine Cauldrons.

Then, when Chen She was sure to win, he went out of the city to fight to the death, and finally died in the Qin army.

And when everyone thought that the situation in the world was about to be settled, the locusts that swept out from the Great Swamp City once again pushed the situation into an abyss that no one could predict.

"Locust plague!"

Those countless Daluo were confused.

The plague locusts crawled between their fingers.

"It's really a terrifying life!"

Following the analysis of the essence of the plague locusts, all Daluo can clearly perceive the composition of the plague locusts - the concrete form of the punishment of heaven and earth, and the relative authority of life and death of the Azure Dragon within it.

Then everyone knew that this plague of locusts must have been created by Ao Bing.

Between heaven and earth, only Ao Bing can gather all the elements required to create this locust plague.

Therefore, even if this plague of locusts was not created by Ao Bing, its appearance must be closely related to Ao Bing.

Sensing the perfect fusion of various elements in the plague locusts, and feeling the unfathomable murderous intent originating from the heaven and earth when they tried to destroy the plague locusts, those many Daluo could not help but sigh.

"It's truly terrifying!"

No one could have imagined that Ao Bing would attack the Qin Empire in this way.

In this incredible way.

"How dare he!"

At this moment, countless Daluo were sighing with emotion.

If they analyze the nature of the plague locusts, they will naturally know that the appearance of the plague locusts is in line with the "Way of Heaven" - and, after the manifestation of the Wood Punishment, there will surely be Water Punishment, Fire Punishment, etc., which will appear one after another in the future.

But this is absolutely inhumane!
It is even more inconsistent with the way of immortals!

This locust plague has caused an unprecedented famine on earth - how many mortals have died?
How many immortal sects’ countless thousands of years of foundation will be dissipated?
Such resentment, such backlash from humanity, such backlash from the path of immortality, even if they were Daluo, their Tao fruits would collapse if they were subjected to it. What’s more, Ao Bing is not even a Daluo?
So, how dare Ao Bing?

Among the doubts of these Daluo, there is a more acute question, which also appears in the hearts of these Daluo - the kingdom of the Human Emperor cannot be overthrown.

Therefore, many Daluo invested in the First Emperor and the Qin Empire.

An unprecedented investment.

After all, this is an investment that is sure to make money - and after Zhao Gongming achieved Daluo through the way of wealth, using the gold from heaven, the silver from earth, and the copper from humans as carriers, and materializing all the "wealth" between heaven and earth with digital actions, those investments made by Daluo in the Qin Empire could naturally be expressed in terms of wealth numbers.

And this number is a number that can shock even saints.

But now - due to this locust plague, the once indestructible and unbreakable Qin Empire was truly on the verge of crumbling in an instant, and was in danger of being overthrown.

So what should those Daluo who have invested in the Qin Empire do?

Should we continue to spend huge sums of money to prop up the Qin Empire so that it does not collapse, or should we withdraw as soon as possible?
Those countless Daluo couldn't help but become entangled.

If there was no Zhao Gongming, the wealth would never have been materialized in the form of numbers, and those great men might have withdrawn.

But when this wealth becomes concrete and has a measure, even a great master cannot help but feel conflicted and hesitant in the face of this wealth.

After all, that was the wealth they had accumulated over countless tens of thousands of years.

How easy would it be to watch all this wealth and the Qin Empire disappear into thin air?

Compared to these Daluo, the Jade Emperor and the Qin Emperor, the two most supreme emperors, also lost all composure on their faces, leaving only a livid look.

No matter it was the Jade Emperor or the Qin Emperor, after this contact, they could clearly sense the nature of the plague locusts.

If what other Daluo sensed was that the plague locusts were the embodiment of 'heaven's punishment' created from the power of the Queen Mother of the West, then the nature of the plague locusts sensed by these two most honorable emperors in heaven and earth was something more profound.

That is the ultimate release of all dissatisfaction, anger, and resentment in heaven and earth.

It is an attack on authority initiated by the creatures that are controlled by authority. They are determined to tear all authority into pieces and then start over again.

"The Lord of Punishment!"

"What a great Lord Xing Tian!"

"Is this your move?" Qin Huangnian held the plague locust in his hand, feeling the essence inside the plague locust that conflicted with the 'authority' they held, feeling the essence that was trying to devour their 'authority', and then suddenly exerted force.

"Why must it be so!" The sharp thorns on the plague locust's legs pierced the palm of the Qin Emperor, and between the stains of blood was an unprecedented murderous intent.

The intention to kill Ao Bing.

At a time when the First Emperor was filled with murderous intent, the great Luos who had invested in the Qin Empire finally reached a consensus.

Save the Emperor Qin first.

As long as the First Emperor had not been born, the Qin Empire would never collapse no matter how shaky it was.

Of course, besides protecting the Qin Emperor, there is another goal.

It’s Ao Bing!

Lord Xing Tian, ​​who combined all the powers to create such a disaster as the locust plague.

"Xing Tianjun, since you have caused such evil in the human world, you can't blame us for bullying the weak and causing you to be annihilated in the torrent of humanity."

"That's perfect. I can use your Heavenly Dragon Qi to stabilize the Qi of the Qin State!"
