Chapter 833 - 831: The Road Has Been Severed
The phoenix tree grows, the power of the Ancient Phoenix spreads out, and at this moment... the memory belonging to the Earth Chicken also fully awakens.
She remembered her people.
Suffering from the torment of the curse, reduced to slavery, oppressed at will by the Divine Clan.
Generation after generation.
Every ancient Phoenix Clan Leader tried to resist, but alas, all ended in failure.
Because the power of the Divine Clan was too strong.
They even used the phoenix's Immortal Blood as food, casually extracting it...
Peng!
Memory revives, the Earth Chicken's anger burns.
"Qing, you were born extraordinary, please make sure to live well."
"Qing, farewell."
"Escape in the opposite direction, don't look back. Remember, when you step into the Human World, they will protect you."
"My clan, although innate creatures with divine power, have always failed to open up order, thus losing the opportunity to condense the God Grid and became slaves of the Divine Clan. But I firmly believe the Ancient Phoenix lineage will achieve Divine Enthronement."
"Qing, did you see the Investiture of the Gods? There was once a member of the Human Clan who challenged the Investiture of the Gods, he was very powerful, yet he ultimately failed. Go find him! He will definitely rise again."
That day, disaster descended.
All the clansmen joined forces to send the Earth Chicken into the Human World.
Despite the powerful enemy pursuing, they were all resolute and unwavering.
Because their bodies had long been corroded by the curse, the Immortal Blood within often extracted by the Divine Clan, their essence depleted. Even if they escaped the Heavens, it was difficult to enter the Investiture of the Gods.
Too much was lost.
The flames burned, enveloping the entire sky, massive bodies were fighting fiercely in blood.
That was the last scene the Earth Chicken saw, her eyes filled with tears, grief overwhelming.
She wanted to fight back, but... she had already been sent away, forced to watch the slaughter unfold.
Qing!
That was her name.
Screech!
The Earth Chicken spread her wings, blossoming intensely amid the flames, her magnificent feathers unfurling, her phoenix crown emerging, sharp eyes coldly watching the sky and earth.
She soared high, carrying boundless divine brilliance.
The Immortal Blood within her boiled, with a sweep of her wings, a violent storm erupted, instantly engulfing the surroundings.
Accompanied by the phoenix tree, the phoenix sings long.
Gui Hua was moved: "She made it through."
Indeed!
The Earth Chicken accepted the baptism, her memory restored, now she was improving herself, using the power of the phoenix tree, burning the Immortal Blood.
Wen Yuqing spoke: "You still haven't told me, what is the truth?"
"It's very cruel!" Gui Hua whispered.
"Tell me!"
"The master guided Wenliang to establish a dynasty and gather the power of faith because this power lies outside of order. If successful, Wenliang could use it to achieve Divine Enthronement, becoming the first god of the Human Clan. Sadly... an accident happened." Gui Hua exhaled a turbid breath.
No one betrayed the Wen Dynasty.
This was Gui Hua's understanding.
To truly settle accounts, the greatest betrayer was Wenliang.
Thus Gui Hua said, the truth is very cruel.
The ruler who personally created the dynasty, who gave countless people hope, yet in the dynasty's most glorious moment, he single-handedly destroyed it...
That's the truth.
Upon hearing this, Wen Yuqing's heart jolt intensely, her pupils contracted sharply, showing killing intention: "What did you say?"
Gui Hua softly: "The path is broken."
Three simple words, filled with too much helplessness.
It was also Wenliang's state of mind at the time, he was very desperate.
......
"The path is broken." The Mysterious God stared at Wenliang, uttered these words, his face was pale, his body trembling.
Because he knew very well what those three words meant.
Human Clan's last hope.
Wenliang's efforts over countless ages.
The entire Wen Dynasty's faith.
They had always been moving forward, never giving up.
Everyone was firm in all this, believing Wenliang could lead them to battle across the Heavens, believing they could enter the Investiture of the Gods and become the first god of the Human Clan.
But when the Mysterious God uttered those three words.
Wenliang completely collapsed, as if struck by lightning, insane, he couldn't accept such a reality.
After a long time, Wenliang calmed down slightly, his face pale as he asked: "Is there really no hope?"
"No..." Mysterious God replied, very succinctly.
"How could this be? What happened?" Wenliang suffocated.
The shattered Investiture of the Gods meant no matter how hard Wenliang tried, he couldn't achieve Divine Enthronement.
The path had already been severed.
But the dynasty was at its peak, faith unwavering, if Divine Enthronement couldn't be achieved, they would face a terrible disaster because of it.
This disaster wasn't from the gods, but the Heavenly Dao, the will in the void would ruthlessly destroy every single thing of the dynasty.
The Mysterious God once explained: "Establishing a dynasty and gathering faith power was indeed against the heavens."
Among the Heavens, no matter which clan or which god, even if they wielded the Power of Order, yet... no one dared to disrespect the heavens.
They all shared one belief, relying on the Heavenly Dao, hence achieving the God Grid.
And gathering faith was equivalent to seizing the faith of the Heavenly Dao, an act of defying the heavens, a slight slip would lead to massive destruction.
Thus when the news of the Investiture of the Gods shattering came, the Mysterious God knew it was over, everything here would vanish like smoke.
Thud!
Wenliang trembled: "Teacher, it can't be like this, they're all waiting for me, how can I disappoint them? Please, teacher, save them!"
The Mysterious God remained silent.
"It was I who established the dynasty, it was also I who gathered the power of faith, if death is required, I will bear the full burden." Wenliang trembled...
The outcome of failure was too frightening.
Involved too much, even... possibly leading to the extinction of the entire Human Clan.
The Mysterious God was also in great agony: "The Heavenly Dao doesn't allow provocation, this you know well. The Investiture of the Gods shattering was not within my plan, even that great being didn't foresee it, leading to such a situation."
"What should I do?" Wenliang mourned.
"Abandon the dynasty."
"Teacher, is there truly no other way?"
"No!"
"But? The dynasty's hundreds of millions..."
"Yes, I know, the Wen Dynasty's faith is strong, the numbers considerable, but how do they compare to the entire Human Clan?" The Mysterious God seemed to have made a decision: 'Wen, this is the last resort, abandon the dynasty to preserve the hope of the Human Clan, let the flame of faith reincarnate again, maybe years later, a similar you will appear and he will attack the Heavenly Dao once more, hopefully by then, the Investiture of the Gods can be reformed."
He was in pain, just like Wenliang's state of mind.
But if the dynasty isn't abandoned, soon, the disaster of the Heavenly Dao will descend and will wipe out the entire Human Clan.
That kind of consequence they could not bear.
The Mysterious God slightly closed his eyes.
Wenliang was as if losing his soul, extremely pale.
That day, it was his most helpless moment, he watched the yellowing sky, the setting sun westward, just like the fate of the dynasty, gradually withering.
But the dynasty was at its peak, with tens of billions of people, countless strong individuals.
The power of faith he had gathered was strong enough, next, they would charge into the Heavens, and then use the Investiture of the Gods to achieve Divine Enthronement.
Wenliang trembling, filled with suffocation and despair.
In his pain, he struggled for a long, long time before he spoke: "Teacher, you say, many years later a similar me may appear, doing the same thing?"
The Mysterious God was silent for a long time: "Perhaps, or perhaps not, maybe in another way."
Wenliang was miserable: "I am not willing."
"I know."
"Is there really no hope?"
"Yes, the road has already broken, this was unforeseen, I'm sorry to you." The Mysterious God looked at him.
"What should I do?"
"Abandon the dynasty, exchange for the hope of the Human Clan, perhaps... you might preserve a spark to re-ignite the power of faith in the years to come." The Mysterious God spoke.
