Chapter 298 - 298 -the twelve pillars to heaven
They were indeed saved. Although the evil’s target was still the mother and daughter on the ground after it saw Lu Chen and the others, as soon as it raised its claws, an irresistible suction force came from the distance and pulled the evil toward the Barbarian formation.
pfft! before the evil could enter the barbarian’s formation, one of the barbarians had already chopped off the evil’s head with his axe.
Lu Chen didn’t pay any attention to the evil, he only glanced at the mother and daughter before he led the team away.
But even so, Zhong Liqing still kept kowtowing to Lu Chen. At the same time, the title of a hero was also placed on Lu Chen’s head.
That’s right, a hero. In this era, Lu Chen was a hero. Even if he didn’t even ask after saving her, he was still a hero.
Times were different, so the definitions of terms were also different. For example, people never asked the ancient sage king to ensure that everyone was equal. It was enough as long as he could make the people full and make the country strong.
At the same time, the people in ancient times who were successful were not those who could cook, take care of their family, or respect others. Instead, they asked you to study well and become the top scholar. Even if you did nothing else, as long as you became a high scholar, you would be the most successful one.
In this era, heroes were not what modern definition meant. They were selfless, fearless, and fought bravely for the interests of the people. These were modern heroes.
In this dangerous era, when evil spirits broke into villages, when snakes occupied rivers to make the villagers sacrifice their children, when evil dragons wantonly destroyed towns because of their bad mood, ordinary humans could only pray for heroes to come and kill the evil.
Because of this, the heroes of this era were not of high moral character, but of strength and courage to fight.
Even if a person was lecherous, greedy, and had many lovers, when he got rid of the evil, there would be people who would write a legend for him.
After all, the most important thing in the world was life. The most important thing was to be able to save lives.
And even if there were people who did not care about their own lives, their children, wives, and parents could be saved by heroes. In this way, even if those heroes had many shortcomings, as long as they were strong enough and willing to fight, they were heroes.
Zhong Liqing and Zhong Liqing weren’t the only ones who had such thoughts. A large group of people behind Lu Chen and the others also had the same thoughts and they were grateful to Lu Chen and the others.
That’s right, there was a huge group of people following behind Lu Chen. Even though there were countless deaths in the border city, there were still quite a few who survived. Those people were originally fighting for themselves and running around in all directions, just looking for a safe place.
However, when Lu Chen and the others walked past them, many of the survivors saw Lu Chen as if they saw a life-saving straw. They rushed toward Lu Chen and the others like crazy. Therefore, as they moved forward, more and more people followed Lu Chen and the others.
Of course, Lu Chen wouldn’t let them affect the progress of his troops. He kept everyone behind him and if anyone dared to charge into the Barbarian formation, Lu Chen would kill them without mercy.
This method was very inhumane, but it was indeed the most correct method.
The only thing that made Lu Chen sigh was that even after doing so, the people behind him still thought of Lu Chen as a hero. It could only be said that the harsh environment would lower the expectations of humans.
Of course, Lu Chen wasn’t doing nothing. With his intuition and the natural phenomenon, Lu Chen would try his best to catch all the evils and kill them. This way, even if those people followed behind, the death rate would be lower.
Just like that, Lu Chen led the team and moved forward quickly. On the way, more and more humans followed behind Lu Chen. There were barbarians and also people from the cloud region.
However, the barbarians behind them didn’t get along well with each other. They didn’t expect the barbarians to be civilized. After all, there were conflicts between the two states. Therefore, many of the barbarians behind Lu Chen were proud of Lu Chen. They let the cloud state stand on the outside while they squeezed in the middle.
Hmph, His Highness is kind and willing to save you. I think it’s better to just leave you behind.
“Indeed, you should find the geniuses of your clan. Why are you following us?”
Hmph, you were the ones who slandered our thirteenth Prince a few days ago, saying that he was a frog at the bottom of a well. Today, he still needs our help. that’s right. In my opinion, the thirteenth Prince shouldn’t have saved you.
His words made many of the rescued people of cloud region laugh. At the same time, although they knew that it was dangerous outside, they didn’t dare to get into a conflict with the barbarians.
The barbarians were stronger with Lu Chen leading them. This was the advantage of having a strong person to rely on. It was also the reason why the barbarians admired Lu Chen so much.
The worship of this era was not like the worship of idols in the 21st century. Many people worshipped the geniuses of their own race because those geniuses could really lead their race to become stronger.
Lu Chen couldn’t do much against the disdain behind him. It took a lot of effort to protect the humans and the Barbarian geniuses behind him were only willing to help the barbarians. Bringing the people of Yunzhou with him was the best Lu Chen could do.
At the same time, Lu Chen couldn’t treat everyone the same.
fairness is also the biggest injustice. The barbarians worship me and are willing to fight for me, but the people of cloud region insulted me yesterday. If I let the barbarians have the same treatment as the people of cloud region, then I would be really stupid.
“Furthermore, the geniuses of the clouds Plains should be able to drive the barbarians away.”
While he was thinking, Lu Chen kept moving forward. Behind him, the barbarians were well protected. They looked at the people of Yunzhou around them and smiled from the bottom of their hearts. At the same time, their admiration for Lu Chen grew.
Among the people who followed Lu Chen, the proudest one wasn’t the barbarians but red butterfly Ji. In her heart, the other barbarians were just Lu Chen’s clansmen and she was his family.
Therefore, when she saw how Lu Chen saved a large number of humans and was worshipped by them, the pride that had disappeared from her face was restored.
One should not worry about poverty, but about inequality. Right now, red butterfly Ji wasn’t the one with the least points. She had seen countless people die tragically because of the evil. Among them, there were many women who had the same status as her in the past. But even so, they still died under the attack of the evil.
But because of Lu Chen, she was protected in the center by the barbarians. The sense of superiority she felt made her proud.
In particular, red butterfly Ji had never been taught that everyone was equal. The education she received was that people were divided into three, six, and nine classes. In her eyes, she was undoubtedly the most noble.
When some of the rescued noble ladies surrounded red butterfly Ji and tried to please her, wanting her to pull them into the group of barbarians, the feeling of being complimented made the arrogance on her face reach its peak.
Hmph, what’s the big deal about looks? so what if he has a big physique? my Lord husband is the strongest.
Although she had an arrogant expression, red butterfly Ji still conversed with the others in a gentle manner. However, when she saw people she was familiar with, the arrogance on her face couldn’t help but show.
However, she soon realized that something was wrong. The noble ladies around her seemed to be complimenting her, but they were actually asking about Lu Chen. This made her feel a sense of danger.
a bunch of b * tches, ungrateful guys. I just saved you, and now you want to steal my man. My husband should not have saved you.
“Just you wait, don’t fall into my hands, Yingluo.”
Lu Chen didn’t know what happened after that and he wasn’t interested in it at all. At the moment, Lu Chen’s attention was mostly on the evils.
Even though the evils at this level were weak, there were still a lot of powerful evils that came out from the well. Lu Chen felt a little scared when he faced them.
It was quite easy.
Lu Chen had also noticed that the God’s realm was divided according to levels. Lu Chen didn’t know how many levels there were but he did find out that the evils in the previous level could threaten the will level while this level was mainly the flesh level.
Even though the evils could pass through the well, it could be that the well was too small for the stronger evils to come down, or that the more terrifying evils had gone to the God protecting them in the center.
In short, Lu Chen didn’t encounter any major danger along the way.
Even though there were quite a few evils that were quite strong, Lu Chen was able to advance without any worries because of his physique that was higher than the limit of flesh and blood Realm. No matter how strange the evils ‘abilities were, they were all weakened by a few times against Lu Chen’s physique. It was as if the Finger of Death had turned into a stun spell. In this way, the deadly attacks that could land on Lu Chen were nothing more than tickles to him.
“As long as one’s physique is high, it’s hard to die even if one wants to.”
Just like that, Lu Chen led the team to the clearing they had chosen.
Seeing that Lu Chen and the Warriors had stopped, the ordinary barbarians and the ordinary citizens of Yunzhou heaved a sigh of relief.
Even though Lu Chen’s group had cleared out the evils in front of them, there were still more around. They were afraid of being attacked by the surrounding evils and they were also afraid that they would be too slow to run and fall behind. If that happened, only death would await them.
Of course, there were also some who wanted Lu Chen and the others to stop and protect them. However, they only dared to think about it. No matter if it was the Barbarian Army or the Army of the cloud region, ordinary people wouldn’t dare to suggest it.
It had to be emphasized that the soldiers in this world were not soldiers of the people. They were officials who protected the wealthy families and the royal family. Only the villagers would risk their lives to explore the way for the soldiers. It was impossible for the soldiers to risk their lives for the civilians.
It was the same for the barbarians. However, they were proud of their bravery. It was a disgrace to let others attack while they were at the back. Therefore, this was not obvious in the wilderness.
As for the people of cloud region who were often forced to be the Pathfinders, they were already very satisfied that the barbarians didn’t ask them to go and risk their lives. No one dared to bring up the idea of having the barbarians protect them.
As the people of Yunzhou who had been oppressed all year round were very sensible, they didn’t cause any trouble. This made Lu Chen nod in satisfaction, ” fortunately, there are no brainless people. After all, I’m not a demon. It’s better to not kill humans.
you guys can rest here. Distribute the food.
Lu Chen didn’t ask any more Questions. However, the barbarians still had the upper hand in the distribution of the loot. It couldn’t be helped. Lu Chen’s strength made the barbarians stronger as well.
At the same time, the barbarians ‘admiration for Lu Chen grew even more after seeing the miserable state of the people in Yunzhou.
Lu Chen didn’t care about what happened after that. After instructing the others to defend, Lu Chen walked to an open space.
Seeing Lu Chen’s actions, red butterfly Ji left and came to his side,
“My Lord husband, what should we do next?”
The one who asked was red butterfly Ji. The seventh Prince and eighth prince also looked over and waited for Lu Chen’s orders.
To that, Lu Chen said,
tell those ordinary people who followed us to the center of the square not to move. The barbarians who are capable of fighting will stay alert in the surroundings. The other group will go to the surrounding area and knock down all the houses.
As the black lines were strong enough to bring the dead to life, Lu Chen didn’t dare to let any obstacles stand in his way. After Lu Chen gave the order, everyone immediately got to work.
While the other barbarians were busy, Lu Chen didn’t stay idle either. He summoned afterimage of Keiga.
“You guys defend here, I’ll go up and take a look.”
After that, Lu Chen’s figure slowly faded away under the protection of afterimage Keiga.
With the protection of the afterimage of Keiga, Lu Chen’s vision slowly changed. Other than the extraordinary power, his vision was now black, white, and gray.
In the past, even though this kind of vision was oppressive, Lu Chen didn’t feel too much danger. After all, afterimage of Keiga could absorb the dark energy.
Lu Chen felt like he had returned home when he entered this state.
But this time, when Lu Chen entered the shadow world, he realized that the entire world was covered in black air. The black air was filled with fear, evil spirits, throbbing and other negative emotions. Just looking at the air made Lu Chen feel depressed.
At the same time, the black air was also wrapping around the things around it. The things that were being wrapped around by the black air were quickly infected and turned into the color of the black air. Lu Chen finally understood that the black air was the aura of the fallen deity’s mummy.
After some thought, Lu Chen decided not to provoke the air currents and he didn’t try to break through the space layer above. Instead, he went down. although I’ve been dragged into the godhood realm, the godhood realm shouldn’t be in the same world as the real world. I wonder if I can break through the godhood realm with afterimage of Keiga and enter the real world.
That’s right, Lu Chen was going to look down to see if he could escape.
The border city of the realm of flesh and blood seemed to be the lowest level. Therefore, it didn’t take Lu Chen much effort to reach the border of the Godsfall Kingdom. Just as Lu Chen thought, there was a space barrier there.
With his special vision, Lu Chen could even see a perfectly intact border city in the modern world. However, there was no movement in the border city anymore. All the living things had been dragged into The Kingdom of Gods. there were clearly already two border cities that had undergone abnormal changes. After this war, the border cities actually still managed to survive. What a strange feeling!
He was also trying to enter the real world, but to his dismay, the spatial barrier was different from a normal spatial membrane. It was like a barrier to the world and Lu Chen couldn’t get through it at all.
the divine kingdom of the fallen God is already like a small world. It’s very complete. The current afterimage can’t be penetrated by Caijia at all.
That’s right. Lu Chen had a feeling that if he allowed afterimage Keiga to evolve to the level of erosion-plummon-then he would be able to penetrate this small world.
However, after some thought, Lu Chen decided to give up.
the danger of netherclaw’s advancement is no less than the danger of escaping from the divine Kingdom. Besides, even if he advances to the third ghost God, afterimage Keiga, I’m the only one who can escape. My maids and subordinates are all inside.
Lu Chen didn’t want to run away by himself until the last moment. With that in mind, Lu Chen stopped looking at the divine Kingdom’s barrier and continued to move forward.
With the protection of the third ghost, Lu Chen quickly passed through the border city and arrived at the place where he was originally.
However, what made Lu Chen’s eyes turn serious was that in just a few moments, the haunted house that he had just destroyed had been rebuilt. Among the rebuilt ghosts, there were even more evils that were charging at him.
Lu Chen ignored the evils and relied on the protection of afterimage Keiga. He was in a completely different dimension from the evils. In the alternate dimension, Lu Chen observed the scene in front of him.
However, the scene inside made Lu Chen frown.
On this level, a large number of evil creatures were swimming around freely. Similar to the lower levels, as time passed, the number of evil creatures here grew stronger.
“I can’t leave the alternate dimension!”
With that thought in mind, Lu Chen continued to wander around in this level. Soon, he saw many deep wells in front of him. However, unlike the deep wells below, the deep wells here were filled with all kinds of monsters while the evils here were coming in.
Did the evils all come down from this well?
The scene in front of him gave Lu Chen some ideas, but after a while, Lu Chen shook his head and said, ” Indeed, some of the evils have gone down but there are too many of them here. If they all go down, it won’t be easy for us. It seems like many of them have gone up to the upper level.
Lu Chen heaved a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that all the evils would go down and that would be troublesome.
After observing the interface for a while, Lu Chen thought for a while and continued to move forward.
But this time, Lu Chen felt a slight sense of stagnation in his consciousness and it made him understand one thing.
I’ve already reached my limit. My level is still too low. This is all it can bring me to.
The thought appeared in Lu Chen’s mind, but soon, it was replaced by what he saw.
“Where is this? what kind of Kasaya is this?”
Lu Chen’s face was filled with shock. He couldn’t be blamed for being shocked as the scene in front of him was just too terrifying.
At this moment, what appeared in Lu Chen’s vision was no longer the city at the border but a strange land.
He swept his gaze across the barren land. There was no moon or sun in the sky, only a blood-red eye that looked like a god looking down on the earth.
At the same time, on the ground, there were also people and monsters in black robes. They were all kneeling on the ground and praying. Although there was no detailed count, Lu Chen could tell from what he saw that there were more than ten million people kneeling and praying.
The scene of the black robes praying together was quite shocking.
In addition to the seemingly endless black cannons, there were also 12 pillars that connected the sky and the earth. The pillars reached into the clouds and the top was completely submerged in the gray mist. Lu Chen couldn’t see anything, but even if he couldn’t see anything, Lu Chen could still estimate the height of the pillars.
at least a few thousand meters, or even tens of thousands of meters!
The blood-red sun-like eyes, the endless black robes, and the 12 pillars that connected the sky and the earth. This crazy scene made Lu Chen realize that this was the real divine Kingdom, the real divine Kingdom.
The place where Lu Chen was at was only a small plane separated by the aftermath of the God’s power.
At the same time, Lu Chen also had some guesses about the endless number of black robes.
those people should be the ones who believe in this God, or the souls who are captured by this God. There are so many of them. However, each God has thousands or even tens of thousands of years of accumulation. It is normal for so many petitioners to gather over the years. Those twelve pillars to heaven should be the places where the God’s emissaries or the God’s Saints live. Even the top of the twelve pillars to heaven may have a subordinate God living there. Lu Chen was deeply shocked by what he saw.
While Lu Chen was still in shock, he suddenly realized that the prayers around him had stopped. He looked around and saw countless people in black robes looking at him. Cold sweat instantly covered Lu Chen’s back.
“What’s going on? I’ve been discovered? But how did so many people discover
Doubts appeared in Lu Chen’s mind, but he soon realized that he was indeed in the alternate dimension with the afterimage of The Guardian of Keiga.
However, this world seemed to only be seen in the alternate dimension.
Therefore, Lu Chen was now on the same level as the petitioners, which made Lu Chen feel a little embarrassed. However, now was not the time to be embarrassed. Soon, Lu Chen, who was like a Little Giant, said, ” everyone, I’m sorry to disturb you. Please continue with your work.. I’ll leave now, I’ll leave now, Zhenzhen!
