Ark's Journey to the Demon God

In other words, because of the [Empire of Consciousness].

As early as when he was guarding Sunset Canyon, Shen Muke encountered Waterloo since time traveling.

His [Template] detached due to unknown reasons.

The reason for the separation is unknown, but the [Empire of Consciousness] is closely related to him.

It involves [divinity].

Regarding this, Shen Muke asked Nian Nian, but Nian's answer did not satisfy him.

Although Nian has no intention of hiding anything (because Shen Muke also has divinity in him and will enter this field sooner or later), Nian himself does not know much about this issue.

According to her:

The so-called [Empire of Consciousness] is called [Nine Heavens] among their brothers and sisters. All the gods on the continent and their blood relatives and dependents will be aware of its existence.

[The Empire of Consciousness] is a realm of the soul, and "possessing divinity" is the threshold to enter it.

The integrity of divinity represents the degree of openness of the [Empire of Consciousness] to individuals.

Within the [Empire of Consciousness], every individual will be given "power", and the more complete the divinity of the individual, the stronger and richer the "power" given by the [Empire of Consciousness].For example, the divinity of their twelve brothers and sisters all comes from the ancient god [Sui] of Great Flame, so their divinity is relatively complete, and each of them is given an attribute by the [Empire of Consciousness].

Powerful powers - the power given to Nian is casting, Xi is painting, and Sister Ling is poetry and calligraphy...

As for individuals with incomplete divinity, such as Shen Muke, who is half a bucket of water, the [Consciousness Empire] will also give some basic powers. For example, in his dream, he traveled around mountains and rivers, and saw Ling across thousands of miles. This is the long-distance that comes with the Consciousness Empire. Teleport.

These are Nian’s understanding of [Empire of Consciousness]. As for whether [Empire of Consciousness] is really a world?Does it possess reason and cognition?Do you have your own thoughts?

I didn’t know it all these years. (Mainly because she doesn’t care. After all, in her opinion, the [Empire of Consciousness] is just a tool. If she has time to think, she might as well eat two more hot pots.)

After hearing this, Shen Muke's doubts did not diminish.

Nian's statement was too general, and she herself lacked understanding, so Shen Muke still made up her mind to go to Xierag.

I went to Kjerag just to find Yeragond.

Shen Muke's idea is very simple. Nian is one-twelfth of a year. The divinity in her is incomplete, but Yeragond is a serious and true god. Although Yeragond may not be very good at fighting, but Divine integrity is certain.

The half-empty self is confused, and 80% of the year is vague. Then the complete Yeragond must have some understanding, right?

It can't be that Jeragond's level is not as good as it was last year, right?

No, no, no?

Based on the above, Shen Muke finally decided to take Nian to Xierag, just to find the answer and make himself feel at ease.

As for Xierag's various problems... Shen Muke looked at Nian. This free and easy girl was competing with the ingredients in the bowl.

If there is someone you care about all the time accompanying you, even the vast snow-capped mountains will burst out with dazzling light, right?

Shen Muke composed himself and lowered his head to eat.

Opposite him, the purple light in Nian's eyes flashed away.

As I said before, over the long years, I have learned a lot about people and the world.Nian's heart is not as carefree as she appears on the surface.

She had already noticed that Brother Shen seemed to have some different feelings for her, but since Brother Shen didn't say it directly, she didn't ask.

However, it’s really a different feeling…

Looking back on my life, I separated from [year old]'s body. When I was young, I lived with my brothers and sisters, free, happy and carefree.

Later, as she grew up, Nian gradually understood her identity and how to use power, and she lost her original "freedom" - the Si Suitai, the Supervisory Yuan, the Ministry of Rites, the court...all kinds of worldly affairs pursued her. , which made her extremely annoyed.

Along with secular affairs, there are also people's prejudices.

Nian has discovered more than once that when people see her, what appears on their faces is awe of God and hatred of aliens, even though she has done nothing wrong.

From childhood to adulthood, for thousands of years, Nian has always been treated like this by people. People respected her, feared her, and hated her, forcing her to start living wildly and playing in the world.

Anyway, I will eventually return to my true form of [Sui] and eventually turn into nothing. It is better to see more of these great rivers and mountains and eat the rare delicacies. ⑥⑨④⑨③⑥①④⑤

Unlike her younger sister [Xi], facing all the pressure, she chose to take the initiative!

Brothers and sisters will eventually become one, so why don't we all sit down and talk together, chat, and open our hearts, just like we did back then.

Nian is also quite indifferent to his own ending.Isn't it just that the soul is scattered and ashes are wiped out? It will be over after a sleep.

But now, she was a little shaken.

Because of Shen Muke.

This mysterious little brother Shen actually dares to like me!

Doesn't he know his origin and identity?Doesn't he know that even if he agrees to this relationship, there will be no future for the two of them?

He knows, he knows... He has met Ling, knows [Sui], and also understands that period of history that is almost forgotten.

But he still held the [love between men and women] and invited himself to travel together. This was a new experience that he had never had before.

So Nian agreed, happily.

She wanted to go crazy for herself, completely crazy.

It doesn't matter the ending, she just enjoys the process and doesn't think about the future. She only knows that she and Brother Shen are traveling now and they are getting along happily. That's enough!

Watching Brother Shen rinse the fished out ingredients in water again and again, Nian chuckled in his heart.

"This Guawazi doesn't like spicy food but insists on eating it. He thought I wouldn't notice if he didn't tell me."

Just like this, holding the hot bowl, the two of them got along with each other with their own hearts under the snow-capped mountains.

Very happy…

Chapter 2 Arriving at the Supreme Kingdom of Terra

Kjerag.

A sacred and awe-inspiring country.

This small country is located in the vast snow-capped mountains, with high altitude and low temperature.

During the hundreds of years when the continent of Terra was turbulent, it remained unknown and independent.

No one has paid attention to it, and no one in the entire continent even knows about it because it is too small...

However, today is different from the past. In the early spring of 1063 in the Terra Calendar, it welcomed two "uninvited guests".

What will their arrival bring to this small country?

……

huh~~~

Even though we haven’t reached the mainland of Kjerag yet, at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, the cold wind of early spring still makes us feel tired.

In an inn at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, after running around for several days, Shen Muke and Nian arrived here

-

clap clap.

The wind chimes in the inn rang harshly twice, and a waiter came out:

"Hey~ you two? Are you coming from afar? Do you want to go to the top or stay in a hotel?"

The waiter spoke authentic Yanguo dialect, which surprised Nian and Shen Muke.

"It's strange that I can still meet people who can speak Yanguo dialect here?" Shen Muke said casually.

"Hey, it's not an extraordinary skill. The villain's family has opened a shop here for nearly 20 years. There are merchants from all over the world passing through this snowy field from north to south. Over time, I have learned a lot."

"That's incredible." Shen Muke nodded. His praise came from the bottom of his heart. You must know that when he was in school, his worst thing was language. The waiter in the shop can understand Huiyan dialect by ear. This can no longer be described as a genius. .

Through small talk, Shen Muke learned that this small shop is a "family industry" opened by a large family. The head family of this family is - the Shivaash family, one of the three major family councils in Shelagne. That's right. The family of Master Yin, codenamed "Silver Gray".

I heard from the little brother that their family is collateral blood, so they can use some resources of the family in China to go out and open a store. Although they don't earn much, it is enough to support their family.

Shen Muke nodded, handed some of the remaining ingredients to the waiter, and asked him to help make the hot pot.

Then Shen Muke discussed the plan with Nian.

Because they were afraid of being overheard by the store, the two chose to communicate using [Divinity].

Yes, this was one of Shen Muke's gains during this period. He discovered that he could use the [divineness] in his soul to communicate with others instead of language, which was very convenient and kept confidential.

"Xiao Guo Guo, do you really want to find that Yela?"

Shen Muke nodded. At the moment, the best and most convenient way to get information about the Empire of Consciousness is to go to Yelagund.

There is no god in Casimir, and the old black snake Shen Muke of Ursus can't avoid it. He has no connections in Victoria and Colombia, so he can only go south.

Originally, Shen Muke wanted to take Nian directly to the Sargon Foehn Hot Land to explore.

But considering that all of Khan’s nightmare army was packed inside, it’s better not to risk Nian with a double 60% demon suture monster like me. If I go there and never come back, wouldn’t it be a big joke in the world? Already?

So after careful consideration, given my current level of strength, it would be most appropriate to go to Yelagund for advice. What’s more, Yelagund’s reputation is very good, and he is also very easy to get along with [Bully (crossed out)] in the plot. There should be...no accidents, right?

Nian looked at Shen Muke and shook his head. Brother Shen still didn't understand what [Empire of Consciousness] and [Divinity] meant to existences like them. This is an undisclosed secret that a group relies on for survival. Knowledge in this area has always been They have all explored it themselves over time. How could they tell you an "outsider" so easily.

All mysterious knowledge is priceless and cannot be exchanged for worldly things.

I guess Brother Shen thinks that he is easy to talk to, so he thinks that all the gods in the world are easy to talk to, right?

Nian picked up the tea cup and took a sip - it doesn't matter, if things don't go well this time, then I will find an opportunity to take Brother Shen and run away decisively, find another place to find another way - Phew... what does this smell like? !

Nian squirted out all the milk tea in his mouth in a very shameless manner, performing a dragon spitting water in front of the store owner and Brother Shen.

"Hey, this guest? Doesn't it suit your taste?" Hearing the noise, the shopkeeper ran out of the kitchen wearing an apron. (It is indeed a family business, and the shopkeepers personally cook and cook)

"It's okay, it's okay." Shen Muke quickly waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

Then when he turned around, he saw Nian taking out her big shield and heavy sword from nowhere...

"Ahhhhhhh, you guys! I'm going to kill you!"

"Stop it, ah ah -"

……

In the end, after losing the store's tables, chairs, benches, and the burned roof, Shen Muke led Nian and successfully escaped.

Although I spent a lot of money in compensation and still had no food to eat, Nian himself seemed quite indifferent.

"I'm talking about you..." Shen Muke said helplessly: "Isn't it just that salt was put in the milk tea? As for such a big reaction?"

Nian seemed to have heard some earth-shattering blasphemous remarks:

"If you add salt to milk tea, wouldn't it make it salty?! Can you still drink salty milk tea!?"

"Okay, okay." Shen Muke really didn't want to cause any unpleasantness in this matter, so he could only obey her, "You're right, salty milk tea is heresy, okay?"

"That's right." Nian stuck out her tongue playfully. Usually when she did this, it meant she admitted her mistake.

Shen Muke had no idea that he had been manipulated by the hot goblin in front of him, so he could only helplessly take out his money bag, shake it, and reminded: "Our budget has exceeded the plan by a lot, so don't cause any more trouble in Xierag in the future. "

"Yeah, yeah, I listen to you~"

……

The afternoon of the day is the most lazy and comfortable time for Kjerag people. Many shops open their doors casually, and shopkeepers and waiters are resting at the door to bask in the sun, enjoying the peace and tranquility.

Thanks to Yeragond's blessing, Kjerag is protected from natural disasters all year round, and no natural disasters can erode the place, so the pace of life here is quite slow.The small shop that was opened decades ago is still open decades later.

, the only difference is that the shop owner changed from a father to a son.

This is how the Kjerag people spend their lives, generation after generation.

Da Da——

Shen Muke and Nian got off the rented trailer and they arrived.

"Arrived at the highest country in the world - Kjerag!"

"So beautiful and hot, Kjerag."

"Hey, isn't this the New Year?!"

"Let's take a look at the Kalan Holy Mountain in the distance, family members..."

Nian looked at Brother Shen who was inexplicably going crazy in front of him and expressed his emotional stability.

Along the way, Nian has changed from a curious baby at the beginning to an old Si Ji who is not surprised by Brother Shen's strange behavior.

Shen Muke walked around the street with his luggage on his back. After winning the surprised and inexplicable looks of the locals, he returned to the same place:

"Let's find a hotel."
