Cataclysm King

Chapter 431 Customs Clearance and Settlement

If anyone in this cave world knows what is going on with the pottery pot with the spell that seals the seven natural disaster monarchs.

Ji Xun felt that the High Priest Talon, who had been passed down from generation to generation, was one of the few people who was most likely to know.

 The information that has been confirmed now is that at least seven mysterious clay pots have been handed down since the Chaos Era, and the "Seven Lords of Natural Disasters" are sealed in the pots.

 So the problem arises.

Ji Xun has always been curious about who made these clay pots, what their motives were, why they sealed several foreign gods, and what was special about these foreign gods.

According to Talun's historical records, the seven people in this jar have escaped from the seal many times for various reasons in history, and each time they caused huge disasters and casualties.

 Wars, plagues, extreme weather conditions, insect plagues, etc.

However, it seems to be the first time that seven foreign gods escaped at the same time, such as at the end of Talon.

 This is what puzzled him.

 Other gods can be killed, so why are the seven outer gods immortal?

 Is there any difference between the divine level and the divine level?

And Ji Xun always felt that these jars seemed to be left behind "on purpose" by some people.

 And the person who can leave such a jar must be of a very high level. Wouldn't he have some evil intention of bringing disaster to mankind?

So, what is His purpose?

Since you asked, of course you have to listen.

“Originally, it’s too early for you to come into contact with this issue. However, I’m afraid we don’t have many opportunities to talk. Since you want to hear it, let me tell you the origin of these [God-conferring Jars].”

Nan Shenyu thought about it and explained: "But to explain this problem, we have to start with the special promotion method of the extraordinary system of card master."

Not only Ji Xun, but Chujiu and Nan Jing were also very curious.

 The three of them looked solemn, waiting for the next step.

Nan Shenyu said: "After a card master reaches the peak of the ninth-level holy realm, he needs to condense his own 'big rune' to condense his godhead. That is actually his own understanding of the laws and rules of the universe, which has become a solid crystallization of divine power. Of course, Words cannot accurately describe this realm. All you need to know is that there is an essential difference between Ka Master’s practice and other extraordinary paths.”

Ji Xun and the other three nodded.

Nan Shenyu continued: "And after you have condensed your divine personality, you have a very thorough understanding of the universe. In other words, unless there are some very special places, you can hardly obtain a higher transcendent understanding from the environment you are in. . You should have heard the old saying that extraordinary people cannot understand the rules that do not exist in the universe."

Ji Xun fell into deep thought: "???"

 Nanjing blinked his big, dazed eyes: "???"

Chujiu frowned slightly: "???"

What?

 For them, there are too many secrets in the real universe, and various laws have only just touched the threshold.

 Obviously none of the three could understand the realm that they could not even imagine.

Nan Shenyu was not surprised by their confused demeanor, and explained with a smile: "This is a bit abstract. Extraordinary practice is like heating hot water. The improvement of the card master's understanding of the law is the increase in the temperature of the water. But When your temperature reaches a certain height and is higher than the environment that provides you with heat, it will be difficult to absorb heat from the outside. Instead, some will leak out from time to time."

　This is easy to understand.

Ji Xun and the three of them have some enlightenment.

 Is this the perspective of a card master at his peak?

 After a pause, Nan Shenyu said: "If the foreign gods want to keep their divine power from declining, and even go a step further, they need some external force."

When Nan Jing was reminded of this, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly he suddenly asked: "So, ancestor, is this the reason why the outer gods collect faith?"

"Um."

Nan Shenyu nodded gently and calmly: "This is one of them. It is also the most important way."

From this point of view, Ji Xun and the others finally understood that there was a relationship between faith and the growth of God's power.

 But it’s obviously not that simple.

After a pause, Nan Shenyu asked again: "However, our card master's extraordinary advancement does not rely on faith, so what other methods do you think?"

 This said, both Nanjing and Chujiu fell into thinking.

Ji Xun's eyes flashed brightly, he had already thought of something and responded: "Plunder."

"right!"

Nan Shenyu glanced at Ji Xun with a pleased expression, already knowing that he understood.

She continued: "And our card masters' fusion of professional materials to advance is actually to seize extraordinary characteristics from other extraordinary substances in the universe. This method can still be used after condensing the godhead. This is the powerful and special inheritance of our card masters. However, to reach the divine level, the extraordinary characteristics required are also very high-end. It is difficult to find them in the plane. After all, the materials required by the card master profession will be higher than the own level. "

As soon as these words came out, the three of them seemed to understand.

 Transcendent advancement requires almost all materials that are one level higher.

Just like Ji Xun is currently at level 6, the advanced materials he needs are level 7.

This is not a dilemma at his level. He really can't defeat the seventh-level disaster, and there are stronger card masters who can help find materials.

Have never encountered the problem of not being able to find materials.

 But what if you are the ceiling yourself, such as the God level?

 Where do the materials come from?

 Furthermore, where can you find so many god-level materials?

With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Ji Xun suddenly realized: "So, those jars are the source of materials?"

 As soon as he said these words, Nan Jing and Chujiu’s expressions beside him were also very exciting.

Ji Xun suddenly understood why the people from the Holy See in the Southern Continent were looking for these jars!

This jar gave him the feeling that it was used to charge a mobile phone. A power bank?

 When needed, release them and let them recharge themselves before using them again?

Although the metaphor is not quite accurate,

 But this is generally the idea.

 “Yes and no.”

Nan Sushang was noncommittal and corrected: "The clay pots are far more mysterious than meets the eye. They involve the ultimate secret of the plane. It's just that some people regard them as the source of divine power."

As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something, and her tone became deeper: "After all, there is a God-Sealing Jar, and the overall risk is controllable. Therefore, many people in history thought that the disaster of the resurgence of alien gods was behind the actual truth. It’s just an alien **** who was deliberately released by someone with evil intentions.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell into a brief silence.

 The three of them have never thought about what happened to the alien disaster that led to the destruction of civilization.

 And when you think about it from this perspective, things become extremely absurd.

 Human beings are really like leeks, they need to be cut when needed.

 In the final analysis, there are no natural disasters, no tragic and turbulent history, but only the conspiracy of the powerful gods.

Nan Shenyu guessed what the three of them were thinking at the moment, and said with a smile: "Doesn't such a truth sound cruel? Isn't it what you want to hear?"

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun and the other three remained silent.

  After all, in the extradimensional space of "Thousands of Army Siege", even high-level card masters like them are just cannon fodder.

 Death follows us everywhere.

 I thought that by taking such a huge risk, I was at least on the side of justice.

 But once you look high enough, you realize that the essence of this kind of war is just a supernatural plunder of resources at the divine level?

What compassion, bravery, wisdom, justice and evil

The thought of cannon fodder seems a bit pretentious.

 Only despair is real.

　　Just like the war currently taking place in the Eastern Wasteland, it looks like a clash of civilizations, but the source of the motivation is the promotion ceremony and resource plundering of a certain top powerhouse.

Ji Xun, who was still considered a "cannon fodder", suddenly felt a little confused.

 It is a sense of helplessness against the divine level.

Nan Shenyu shook his head, indicating that their thinking had gone into a misunderstanding, and said: "Understanding the world is your own 'promotion ceremony'. No matter what position you are in, every step is. Even if it is me now The realm is still the same.”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Ji Xun and the others softened a little.     But still can’t understand.

Nan Shenyu said again: "You will understand this when you can truly understand the 'divine power'. After the destiny is transgressed, it will be difficult to empathize with lower-level life forms. Under the divine level, even the rules of the universe are inseparable. Unable to see, how can higher beings be treated as equals? Just like lazy people on the street, it is difficult to be recognized by hardworking people, so why should they enjoy equal treatment in the eyes of outer gods? It’s just a consumable of faith. And our Card Master civilization has a unique inheritance, so this conflict between ranks is not so obvious. Moreover, the inheritance of our Card Master civilization is of great significance.”

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun could vaguely understand these words.

 He has now reached the threshold of divine power.

But he didn’t expect to know so many high-level truths after asking questions about the jar.

 It really corresponds to what Gong Wu once taught. If you don't reach the realm, knowing some things will only increase your worries.

 This kind of topic cannot be understood just by talking about it.

 You also need to have a sufficient state of mind before you can touch it.

Nan Shenyu didn’t say any more.

 At this point in the conversation, the atmosphere is a bit dull.

Nan Jing suddenly asked out of curiosity: "Master Ancestor, are there realms above the divine level?"

Nan Shenyu said: "Of course. Even I have barely touched the threshold of a middle-ranked god."

  God? Median?

There are new words that refresh Ji Xun's understanding of the extraordinary, and he becomes more and more curious.

With that said, Nan Shenyu added: "However, the 'Seven Lords of Natural Disaster' are very special. Although they are the lower gods, they are immortal and their peak strength is similar to that of the middle gods."

　　Although the three people could not understand this distinction, they did not realize it.

Nan Jing asked again: "You mean there is a higher realm than the middle god?"

"yes."

Nan Shenyu nodded and said: "Emperor Lanlingst, the founding ancestor of Talun, is said to be the legendary superior **** with unimaginable power. And according to some clues left by the emperor, it is far more than that. Who The Emperor once told my ancestors of the Nan family that the status of a superior **** is only the limit of this plane, and it is far from touching the deepest secrets of the universe. However, after the Emperor disappeared, no one can touch it. I’ve encountered that area. I can’t understand it, and I can’t explain it to you.”

Nan Jing was surprised and said: "Plane?"

Nan Shenyu: "Yes. It's like the 'underworld'. The cave world we are in may be just a special plane in the universe. After all, it is said that before the Era of Chaos, our ancestors witnessed that this world was There is the moon and the sun. In the inheritance of our fifty-two demon gods, there are many things that are different from the current world, but many secrets have been lost in the long river of history."

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly as he listened, and his thoughts became more active.

He instinctively deduced it, but all he got was confusion.

 Things beyond cognition cannot even be touched by imagination.

At this time, Nan Shenyu said again: "If you really want to find out the ultimate secret of this world, then go to the Southern Continent. It is the origin of the Kashi civilization, and there may be things that even Emperor Lanlingster did not discover. The truth about the world.”

Hearing this, Ji Xun and the others were thoughtful.

They had heard the tombkeeper talk about this history in Rune Highlands before. The place where Emperor Lanlingst disappeared was also in the abyss of the Southern Continent.

Moreover, Griffith, the leader of the Dragon Rebel Army, once said that she once ventured to the depths of the Southern Continent. Although she eventually returned with severe injuries, she got a glimpse of many mythical creatures that were still above her realm.

 This made Ji Xun once again become interested in that dangerous and mysterious continent.

The Great Emperor Lanlingster said that his realm is still far away from the ultimate world.

Is it possible that there is a wider world outside this plane?

Ji Xun now almost understood what he heard.

 But I still don’t know who left the “jar” and what its purpose is.

However, one of its uses is clear.

 This is not what we have seen before. There will always be an occasional source of disaster caused by the resurgence of external gods.

 It is a god-level extraordinary resource.

But that level is too ethereal for the current Ji Xun and the other three.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Immediately, the guard outside the door reported: "Master Nan, Your Majesty has summoned you. There are three more guests."

Upon hearing this, Nan Shenyu smiled slightly: "Okay, I'm leaving. It's time for you to leave too. Although the outer **** Mutu was successfully sealed in the previous battle, the empire's elites also suffered heavy losses. The current imperial city has already It is very dangerous and it will become more and more dangerous if you stay here any longer."

 This is the benefit of having acquaintances. The characters in the plot directly remind you that a difficult plot is about to happen.

 But it didn’t trigger.

 This is the brilliance of Nan Shenyu, the high priest.

 For anyone else, having said so much, I am afraid that he would have been forced into some super difficult plot.

Ji Xun and the other three rarely bear too many risks.

Moreover, the three of them also realized that this was because the will of space was rejecting them again.

They have already received too many rewards in the imperial city, and if they stay here, some hidden plot will be triggered to make up for the difficulty of getting equal rewards.

Nan Shenyu was obviously aware of this. She didn't want to cause trouble to the three of them and didn't say anything more.

Before turning around, she gently touched Nan Jing's pretty face again. Looking at her successor three thousand years later, she said with joy, "It's great that our Nan family has such a successor."

Although I have just met this ancestor not long ago, my blood-related concern is sincere and rich.

Now that they were leaving, the thin sadness in her eyes emerged, and she whispered softly: "My lord, ancestor."

Knowing that she was looking at an ancestor who had disappeared in the long river of history, but the scene in front of her was exactly the same as reality, Miss Wan Zitou always felt inexplicably sad in her heart.

“I told you so many secrets of the divine level before, not to make you lose confidence in the future. But I want you to know why you are alive. Only when you realize that you are alive can you understand what ‘divine power’ is.”

As he said that, Nan Shenyu looked at Nan Jing tenderly, then at Ji Xun and Chujiu, and said goodbye: "I saw some scenes of the future in the prophecy, and you will be very close partners. In fact, many times, that's enough."

After saying this, the Distorted Light Gate appeared without warning.

 Spatial settlement also emerges.
