A man in the ark was forced to become a king

The moment he saw this person, Ling stood up straight and was no longer sleepy immediately.

Even she must have enough respect for this person, whether it is in terms of strength, status, or person.

"Master?"

"Miss Ling is here too? That's a coincidence."

Master Laotian responded with a smile, and did not bother Zhong Yue who was in the middle of the fist fight. He avoided the area where the master and apprentice were and moved closer to the door of the room.

"You just came back?"

Lin Lu came back to her senses, turned her eyes to the old Heavenly Master, and discovered something was wrong.

The slightly old robe has some tears and traces of unknown things on the corners. It looks very fresh. It was obviously put on recently. Although the person looks calm, he actually has some marks. I felt like I was in a hurry and didn't have time to clean up.

"Mr. Lin has a keen eye. He encountered something on the way here and was delayed for a while."

The old Heavenly Master nodded, casually inserted the cattail leaf fan on his waist, and said with cupped hands: "I heard from General Zuo that I was unable to arrive in time, and it was all thanks to Mr. Lin's heroic intervention that the fire spread for three hundred miles, and the danger of Yumen was eliminated. !”

"You're welcome."

Lin Lu also clasped her fists in return and said with a smile: "I am entrusted by others to be loyal. Since I have agreed to take care of the affairs of Yumen Pass, I naturally cannot perfunctoryly do so."

"Mr. Lin is very righteous. I will remember this kindness."

What happened outside the Yumen Pass was really beyond the Heavenly Master's expectations. He asked the Golden Tree for help because he had the idea of ​​several god-level powerhouses from the Golden Tree, hoping to help Yumen overcome the difficulties.

I didn't expect that Lin Lu could defeat the evil spirits outside the pass single-handedly. This was simply unbelievable.

However, no matter what, the crisis in Yumen has been solved for real, and the "fat reward" promised at Longmen cannot be delayed.

Fortunately, he occasionally got something on the way here, otherwise it would be really difficult to repay this great favor.

Helping the soldiers of Yumen to guard the border is not the same concept as directly killing the evil spirits outside the border. The latter is undoubtedly much more difficult and has a much greater impact on Yumen City as a whole.

The rewards prepared before were somewhat inferior in comparison, so we had to add something extra.

"Mr. Lin, please look at this. I got this by chance on the way here. Do you still like it?"

The Heavenly Master shook his sleeves, raised his arm, and held an object out of his palm.

The thing was held in the hand, and it looked like a heart. It was red in color, made of jade, and crystal clear. There was light flashing inside, and it opened and shrank like a beating heart.

From this palm-sized gadget, Lin Lu felt an unusually huge energy, vaguely, as if there was something hidden in it.

"What's this?"

After taking the things and looking at them carefully, Lin Lu had some guesses in her mind, but she didn't say them out immediately. Instead, she looked at the Heavenly Master, waiting for him to give an answer.

"It seems that Mr. Lin has guessed it."

The old Heavenly Master stroked his beard with one hand and said in a deep voice: "This is the glazed heart made of the flesh and blood of the god. It contains the power of the god, and the god is sealed in this glazed heart."

"I was passing through a city and happened to see the deity break its seal and intend to return to the world, so I sealed it back and continued to suppress it in Liuli's heart."

"I see."

It is a treasure that seals a god. Regardless of the strength of the god inside, the personality is there anyway. Lin Lu is very satisfied with the reward.

As long as the Golden Tree swallows this thing, it means that another authority will soon be added to the Golden Tree's system.

However, the appearance of this thing also made Lin Lu's mind active.

These internal and external troubles in the Yan Kingdom... seem, seem, maybe, probably, maybe... are all excellent tonics for the Golden Tree?

Chapter 188 Believers of Losers

After some conversation, Lin Lu learned from the old Heavenly Master what the current situation of the Yan Kingdom was and why there was no spare effort to support Yumen Pass.

The Yan Kingdom has a long history, a profound foundation, a lot of domestic heritage, and millions of soldiers. Its fully exploded strength will not be inferior to any country on the mainland.

Maybe it will be much higher than that, even compared to big countries like Ursus and Victoria.

It's just that Yan Guo pursues the purpose of 'national peace and security', rarely interferes in foreign affairs, and never launches foreign wars, which makes people underestimate the true strength of this behemoth.

According to common sense, even if the Sui Beast revives, it is estimated that at most it will perish together with the capital of Yan Kingdom. It is unrealistic to really inflict heavy damage on Yan Kingdom, or even cause a devastating blow.

Time flies, and the events of thousands of years ago have become a thing of the past.

Thousands of years have passed, and gods are still the same, but humans are completely different from before.

The development of the Origin Stone industry and the rise of modern technology have given mediocre humans the ability to arm themselves. The crystallization of modern industry - mobile cities and high-speed battleships, can compete with the gods to a certain extent. Although they are not as good as they are, they are not bad. Too much.

Especially when dealing with truly huge behemoths, it has obvious advantages.

Therefore, today's Yan Kingdom is capable of killing gods, which is far from what it was back then.

Even if the old gods who were expelled thousands of years ago intended to return, theoretically it would be impossible to contain most of the energy of the Yan Kingdom, making it impossible for the imperial court to even support the border.

Through Laotianshi's explanation, Lin Lu understood what the problem was - no matter how sophisticated the weapons and warships were, they still needed people to use them.

Cold dead objects are easy to build and only require resources. The most unpredictable thing is the human heart.

In the God-killing War thousands of years ago, the flames of war spread all over the Yan Kingdom and blood spilled on the earth. After that battle, the gods who once lived on the Yan Kingdom fled to death and were in a very embarrassed state.

Those escaped gods left the Yan Kingdom and did not know where to hide.

However, some of the gods who were killed in the Yan Kingdom have become hidden dangers, such as the sealed objects in the hands of the old Heavenly Master.

The Yan Kingdom at that time was severely depleted after the war, and there was no way to completely deal with the remnants of all the gods, let alone kill them completely, with no possibility of recovery.

As a result, some things containing fragments of gods fell to the people and became the 'seeds' for the resurrection of dead gods. The glass heart in the hands of the old master was one of them.

Like the Liuli Heart, it is relatively conspicuous. There are many artifacts containing the power of gods that are very ordinary and common in appearance. Some gods have already left nests in some hidden places.

In the following time, Yan Kingdom rested and recuperated, sent experts to patrol the territory, and concentrated its efforts to solve many hidden dangers. However, Yan Kingdom had a vast territory and abundant resources. It wanted to overturn all the artifacts and nests containing the power of the gods in such a vast land. Finding them out and destroying them one by one is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack, it is simply impossible.

From a thousand years ago to the present, despite countless inspections, there are still fish that slip through the net.

In fact, if it were just like this, there wouldn't be much trouble, because the gods with only 'seeds' left had been killed in the God-Slaying War. It would be very difficult to resurrect them and it would take a very long time. Time, at least, must be measured in thousands of years. There is no way that it can be close to recovery in a thousand years like Sui Beast.

For those gods who died once, according to Qintian Monitoring calculations, it would take at least 2000 years to reshape their bodies and return.

——The premise of this time is that no one is deliberately helping.

If someone is willing to worship the dead gods devoutly, their return can be greatly accelerated.

Based on this, the imperial court's censorship of domestic religions is very strong, and the source of any belief must be clearly understood.

Such a decision was indeed useful, and it did prevent the return of the gods to a certain extent.

However, people's hearts are unpredictable, and there are always people with different ideas. They secretly form religions, develop believers, and want to welcome back the old gods.

For thousands of years, they hid in the shadows, and some even entered the imperial court and held high positions.

This time, the Old God Religion hiding in the corner didn't know what was going on. As if it had been discussed, it burst out and swept the entire Yan Country in a very short period of time.

As a result, there was a lot of chaos within the imperial court. There were traces of the resurgence of gods in many places, which could be said to be blooming everywhere. They were true and false. There were also ghosts secretly guiding them. As a result, Qin Tian Jian and Si Suitai were seriously short of manpower and could not help. Do not rely on the help of troops stationed in various places to deal with it.

With such internal and external troubles, the huge imperial court was suddenly stymied. Before completing the internal cleansing, Zhenlong didn't even know how many lurking insiders there were, and he didn't dare to let the army, which had not been investigated for the time being, intervene in the incident. Not to mention supporting Yumen.

"Those people have been lurking for so many years, why did they suddenly self-destruct? Didn't they put all their wealth on the table and put all their money on the table? Are they so confident that they can accomplish what they want to do?"

Lin Lu felt a little confused about the operations of the Old God believers.

Doesn't look right in any way?

Since such a huge amount of power has been secretly accumulated, there is no need to suddenly explode and fight the Yan Kingdom court to the death.

It hasn't been discovered for so many years, so wouldn't it be nice to continue to live on?

Although this sudden outbreak did cause a lot of trouble for the imperial court, the power they had in their hands was still far from being comparable to that of the imperial court.

No matter how impressive it seems now, it won't be long before it will be completely suppressed.

At that time, everything will be lost, and they will even be uprooted by the imperial court. Even if they can really resurrect one or two gods, it will be of no avail.

In the end, when the dust settles, they will find that they have paid such a huge price and gained nothing except causing chaos in Yan Country for a few days.

Everything they did was, at best, a big farce, nothing more.

"You want to reason with fanatics? There is no reason to reason."

The old Heavenly Master shook his head and sighed: "In the eyes of those people, the gods they believe in are omnipotent. As long as the ancient gods are welcomed back, the glory of the gods can return to the earth."

"Such believers have a completely distorted understanding of the world. They firmly believe that their gods have the ability to do anything. Therefore, they are willing to pay any price for the resurrection of the gods, even their own lives."

"makes sense."

Lin Lu suddenly became speechless.

It is indeed the truth.

Those fanatical believers who regard their faith as everything have no reason at all. They have been completely brainwashed.

There are probably not many people in their right mind who are willing to join that kind of underground religious organization.

After all, who would put a bunch of losers from the old era back on the altar?

If those gods were really that powerful, how could they be killed by the Yan Kingdom in the first place, leaving only their seeds waiting for resurrection?

"This is really...why do some people always want to find a father for themselves?"

Lin Lu said she could not understand this inexplicable act of faith.

Even when he was at the border, he never really believed in anyone when he used prayer.

All strength comes from one's own efforts, obtained from fighting, and never seeks help from outside sources.

Those who believe in the old gods of the past were obviously born in the Yan Kingdom and on the side of the winner, but they want to turn around and believe in the losers and hold them over their heads to dominate them. Isn't this unfair? Sick?

Could it be that they cannot survive without relying on other things and must find themselves an ancestor to feel comfortable?

"We teach them to straighten their spines and behave like people standing up, but they insist on kneeling down and acting like dogs in front of some inexplicable things. What can be done about this?"

The Heavenly Master was also helpless. He also couldn't understand why anyone would be willing to believe in that kind of thing.

However, whether he understands or not, it does not affect his actions.

In recent years, the court's behavior has been too gentle, and the real dragon has practiced benevolent policies, which has caused some people to become inflated and forget all about what they can and cannot do.

The believers of the old gods bear most of the responsibility for this nationwide outbreak of divine troubles, but secretly, are some powerful families and even some people in the court really so clean?

People's hearts are unpredictable, and not all the people in the imperial court are loyal. Those wealthy families are even more greedy and indispensable to secretly add fuel to the flames.

"It's not necessarily all bad. With Mr. Lin's help, Yumen Pass is as stable as a mountain. No matter how they colluded with the evil spirits outside the territory, it's over."

"There is no need to worry about the danger of Jade Gate. The imperial court can put all its energy into dealing with the divine disaster. The chaos will subside before long. At that time, all the participants will be liquidated one by one, no matter where they are hiding, They will all be uprooted, and there is no place for them to stand in the huge Yan Kingdom."

As he spoke, the old Heavenly Master narrowed his eyes deeper, and a faint cold light flashed in his eyes.

He hasn't shown true anger for a long time, but this time, if some people insist on making him angry, then he can't be blamed.

Rules are constraints and protection.

Someone tore apart this layer of protection with their own hands, probably because they had forgotten who made the rules and that everything they relied on came from the rules themselves.

The power they are proud of is meaningful only if the rule makers are willing to accompany them to comply.

Once the people who made the rules stop playing, they mean nothing.

Dissatisfied with being restrained?

People who think this way will soon know what kind of horror they will face after they are truly freed from restraint.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

Lin Lu thought for a while and took the initiative to ask about fragments of gods or corpses. Those kinds of things might be useless in Yan Guo's hands. They were classified as 'hazardous garbage' that was difficult to dispose of, but he still needed them.

The authority of each god is an excellent supplement to the golden tree and can greatly enrich the existing magic system of the golden tree.

Therefore, he didn't mind helping Yan Guo solve some troubles, even if there was no extra reward.

As long as something can be obtained, the value of the god's authority itself far exceeds the cost.

Even if you can only gain one or two powers in the end, it is not a loss.

"It would be great if Mr. Lin is willing to take action."

The Heavenly Master was stunned for a moment, not expecting that Lin Lu would suddenly take the initiative to help, but he did not refuse.

Dealing with gods is not that simple, and casualties are inevitable.

In particular, according to accurate information, genuine gods have resurrected in some places. If you want to kill them again, you can indeed do it, but you have to pay a price.

If Golden Tree is willing to intervene, then the pressure on the court can be alleviated a lot.
