Chapter 618 The Life of the Holy Lord
Looking at Shu Han's surprised look, Gong Xiangming asked: "Looking at your eyes, do you think what I just said about the loyalty to the Celestial Clan is just nonsense?"
Shu Han replied: "I can't say nonsense, but everything has a motive. You told me that when you took over the Holy Throne and raised the Yingtian clan for the alien world, not only were you not annoyed, but you were happy in your heart. For the sake of your own power and position, you were willing to do something for the aliens. Now you tell me that you are loyal to the Celestial Clan, aren't you kidding me again?"
"You are under the command of the alien world. You are the Holy Lord and rule the world. You can get wind and rain when you want. I really can't think of any reason for you to resist the alien world."
Gong Xiangming sat tiredly on the stone bench, sweeping the dust on the stone table with his dry fingers, and murmured: "You are right, I was that kind of person back then. I had no idea of the overall racial situation and just wanted to live my life." Okay. But you overlooked one thing."
"Which point?"
"time."
Gong Xiangming continued to explain: "Time will profoundly change a person. Even if I am a monk in the transformation stage, I can't resist the power of time. Bastard, I just told you that people are slaves of hope. Only those who have hope for the future can't resist it." Hope gives me the motivation to live. However, the moment I accepted the position of Holy Lord, I already lost hope."
"Without hope, people are just zombies, no matter how cultivated they are."
"I still remember the two thousand years before I obtained the holy title. In the first thousand years, I jumped from an insignificant alchemy monk to the holy master of Tianshu. My cultivation also changed from the original alchemy stage to a thousand years ago. I was indoctrinated all the way to the stage of becoming a god during the year. At that time, I was really proud of myself, and the feeling of holding the supreme power in the world really made me excited."
"The psychic remnant treasures that I used to covet can be obtained at will; the female cultivators who used to look down on me all bowed to me, and even when they met me who would rather die than obey, they still had the means to convince them; they used to bully me and humiliate me. All of them knelt down and begged for mercy, but in the end they all died without a burial place. During that time, I experienced the taste of power. On the outside, I was the glorious Lord Tianshu, but on the inside, my life was far more luxurious. It’s beyond your imagination. It can be said that all the dreams of everyone in the Yingtian clan came true at that time.”
"However, after a thousand years of indulgence, I soon got tired of it. Because everything comes too easily, and anything that comes too easily cannot be called hope. I have long been tired of seeing the beautiful wives and concubines; everyone The psychic remnant treasure also lost its meaning because of my unparalleled cultivation. Since the lifespan of the monks in Yingtian Realm was taken away, all my acquaintances had already left after just a thousand years. I will miss my former enemies and hope to meet them again, even if I am bullied by them again.”
"But that's just a wish."
"At that time, I thought that I was different from all the living beings in the Yingtian Realm, but day after day, year after year, I watched the ups and downs of those living beings. Suddenly I realized that although I am a Holy Lord, I am still in the entire prison of the Yingtian Realm. , is not much different from those uninformed Yingtian tribe members, they are all ants under the control of another world. It’s just that this ant is bigger and has a longer lifespan.”
"Since then, I have begun to envy the ordinary Yingtian people. How lucky they are that they don't know the reality of the Yingtian world!"
"Those who believe in the Holy Land are full of glory in their hearts and work hard for the ascension of the Nine Saints. Those who believe in the Renaissance Army are full of fighting spirit in their hearts, hoping that one day the Yingtian Clan will be revived. But I, who understand everything, have nothing. Something to look forward to.”
"We can no longer improve our cultivation, our longevity can no longer be improved, and we cannot escape through seclusion in order to monitor Yingtian Realm. After a long time, all that is left is an empty heart."
"Supreme authority and a life span of ten thousand years are just another luxurious prison. From then on, I lost hope in my heart and lived like a zombie."
"In the next thousand years, because I envied the ordinary Yingtian people, I created an incarnation and separated a soul without memory, so that the incarnation could experience the life of an ordinary Yingtian people to comfort the emptiness in my heart."
"Within a thousand years, I became a hard-working person from the lower city, a person from the upper city who lived a comfortable life, a general in the Holy Land, and a soldier in the Renaissance Army. He became the son, husband and father of many people. Oh, By the way, there is also grandpa. The two granddaughters I mentioned earlier were born by me unintentionally during this period."
"A thousand years and more than a dozen lifetimes of experience have not comforted my heart that has lost hope, because I subconsciously know that those things are false. Sometimes knowing the truth is so painful."
"I have not been comforted, but the life of an ordinary Yingtian clan member for more than ten generations has allowed me to understand the different roles of the Yingtian clan. My original selfish heart, corresponding to the cold heart of the Tian clan, has gradually been softened by these experiences. There are joys and sorrows, and the sensible and reasonable Yingtian clan should not be trapped and deceived by other worlds like this. Those Yingtian warriors should not die in vain, those passionate soldiers of the Renaissance Army should not be purged, and all living beings of the Yingtian clan must not stay like this. Be fed!”
"After that, I no longer used my avatar to travel around the world, because I no longer needed to escape. From then on, I had hope in my heart. For this hope, all positions of power and even my life became unimportant."
At this point, Gong Xiangming was already in tears.
He sighed deeply, wiped away some tears, and said, "Let's go, little bastard, I'll take you to see my hope."
With that said, Gong Xiangming brought Shu Han to a room.
Shu Han suddenly discovered that this house had been transformed into a stone room. The stone room was densely covered with array patterns, and there was a stone platform in the center of the stone room. There is a picture and two stone inlays on this stone platform.
Gong Xiangming explained: "This is the entrance to the core array pattern of the real Yingtian Realm on the lower level. It has been scaled down. You can activate the Yingtian Clan's formation by releasing the Tianshu Diagram and the Godless Stone of No Self and No Other from the inlays on the stone platform. The restart will open the strange space where the core formations of Yingtian Formation are intertwined.”
Then Gong Xiangming asked: "I changed my mind two thousand years ago and wanted to resist the rule of the other world. Do you know why, for the next seven thousand years, I have been working hard to help the other world restart Yingtian Realm again and again?"
Shu Han shook his head.
"That's because it's useless to lead the entire Yingtian clan to resist. It can only invite the arrival of aliens and repeat the tragedies of paradise and hell. And the key to truly freeing the Yingtian clan from the rule of aliens lies in this core formation. "
As he spoke, Gong Xiangming rubbed his hands, and a strange crystal phantom appeared in his hands.
"Do you know what this is?"
Shu Han saw that this crystal looked like both a spiritual stone and a space crystal, but it felt completely different from the two.
"Junior doesn't know."
"This is called world crystal. It is the material that makes up the crystal wall of the world dimension."
