Chapter 585: The Emperor Builds the Great Divine Stone
Jiang Luo nodded, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes: "What the Demon King said makes sense. Although the demon world does not have much contact with the demons in other world lines, they may indeed become the helpers of that mysterious person. I will continue to investigate along this clue."
The demon king smiled slightly, with a bit of appreciation in his tone: "Jiang Luo, you are indeed thoughtful. However, I still want to remind you that the demons have different personalities. The demons in some world lines may not be as peaceful as those in my demon world. You have to be more careful."
Jiang Luo bowed and said, "Thank you, Demon King, for your reminder. I will act with caution."
The two walked out of the Demon King's Palace. Xiao Shuai was still immersed in shock and had not recovered until they returned to the 2073 world line. Xiao Shuai finally thought of something and said, "Boss, I remembered what the Demon King just reminded me of. He said that the largest demon tribe in each world line. I seem to remember that the demon tribe in one world line is a dog demon?"
Jiang Luo nodded slowly: "It is indeed a dog demon. His cultivation is not low. He is the only demon master among all the masters."
Xiao Shuai continued, "I remember you said before that the master of the dog tribe put all the dogs at the top of the food chain. In a way, dogs cannot be at the top of the food chain. Whether it is the flexibility of their brains or the mobility of their bodies, dogs can only be used as cooperative combat objects."
Jiang Luo lowered his eyes slightly. In fact, he was unwilling to believe that the master of world line 1856 would do something wrong, because he was promoted by himself, and his mind was extremely tough. It could be said that it was a very rare thing for him to enter the Tao as a demon.
But Xiao Shuai's suspicion was not wrong. He thought for a moment and said, "Let's investigate this matter slowly! Come with me to the capital of the 2073 world line first."
Xiao Shuai nodded, Jiang Luo waved his hand, and a vehicle appeared in front of them.
As luck would have it, the means of transportation he summoned was actually the flying carriage that Fan Wujiu had given him before.
Jiang Luo was stunned at first and wanted to change one, but it seemed too deliberate, so he walked into the carriage first.
Xiao Shuai also went in with an embarrassed look on his face. After he sat down, he found that Jiang Luo had instantly replaced the interior, because the original interior instantly reminded him of the memories of him and Lu Qing's three different personalities fooling around in it.
But he regretted it after he changed it. Isn't this just trying to cover up the truth?
Jiang Luo sat in the carriage, looking through the window at the outside world, but his heart was not at peace.
He knew that his actions just now were somewhat deliberate, but the memory of that moment was really unbearable for him. The behavior styles of Lu Qing's three different personalities simply gave him a headache.
Especially the absurd memory of that time in the carriage, which was like a thorn, deeply piercing his heart.
Xiao Shuai also noticed Jiang Luo's embarrassment. Tiandao is also a human being, so how could he not care about the past at all? It's just that as Tiandao, he has his own code of conduct.
"Boss, when we go to the capital this time, are we going to look for clues about those demonic crystals?" Xiao Shuai broke the silence and tried to change the subject.
Jiang Luo came back to his senses and nodded: "That's right. The source of the magic crystal is likely in the capital. We must find it as soon as possible to prevent the situation from getting worse."
Xiao Shuai scratched his head, somewhat puzzled: "But, Boss, what exactly is the magic crystal? Why does it cause the rules of the world line to collapse?"
Jiang Luo explained: "The magic crystal is an extremely dangerous energy substance. It can absorb and distort the power of rules, causing the balance of the world line to be destroyed. If it is allowed to spread, the entire world line will fall into chaos and even affect other world lines."
Xiao Shuai was stunned and couldn't help asking, "Who made this thing? What's his purpose?"
Jiang Luo frowned slightly, his tone was a bit solemn: "The identity of the person who created the magic crystal is unknown, but his purpose is obviously to break the rules and create a new order."
Xiao Shuai was terrified when he heard this, and couldn't help but mutter, "This is too scary... Boss, can we really stop him?"
Jiang Luo's eyes were firm, and he said calmly: "No matter what, we can't just sit there and wait for death. As the Heavenly Dao, it is my duty to protect the rules. Besides, with you partners here, we will definitely be able to find out the truth."
Xiao Shuai nodded, clenched his fists, and said with full fighting spirit: "Don't worry, Boss, I will definitely do my best to help this world line!"
At this time, the carriage slowly landed and stopped outside a prosperous capital. The towering city walls were majestic and magnificent, and the city gate was bustling with people coming and going. However, Jiang Luo sensed a strange atmosphere.
"Xiao Shuai, be careful, there may be hidden dangers in this city." Jiang Luo reminded in a low voice.
Xiao Shuai nodded, his expression becoming serious: "Understood, Boss."
The two got off the carriage and walked into the capital. There were shops on both sides of the street, and all kinds of hawking sounds came one after another, which seemed to be a prosperous scene. However, Jiang Luo was keenly aware that there seemed to be a faint demonic aura in the air. Although it was very weak, it made people feel uneasy.
"Boss, do you feel that the atmosphere here is a little bit wrong?" Xiao Shuai asked in a low voice.
Jiang Luo nodded and glanced at the people around him: "There is indeed a problem. The rules and order here seem to have begun to be affected."
At this moment, a ragged man suddenly rushed over, grabbed Jiang Luo's sleeve in a panic, and said in a trembling voice: "Great Immortal, save me! They... they want to capture me and sacrifice me!"
Jiang Luo's expression was startled. He quickly supported the man and asked in a deep voice, "Who wants to arrest you? What happened?"
The man panted and said in horror, "It's the people from the City Lord's Mansion! They said they need human sacrifices to repair the 'Sacred Stone', and many people have been captured!"
Jiang Luo frowned and turned to look at Xiao Shuai: "It seems that the situation is more serious than we thought."
Xiao Shuai clenched his fists and said indignantly: "Boss, we can't just sit there and watch! We must stop them!"
Jiang Luo nodded, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion to take a look."
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the other end of the street, and then a group of armored soldiers quickly surrounded them. The leading general looked at Jiang Luo and Xiao Shuai coldly and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you incite the people in the capital! Come, arrest them!"
Seeing this, Xiao Shuai immediately took a fighting stance and whispered, "Boss, what should we do?"
Jiang Luo looked calm and said calmly: "No need to do anything, let's go with them."
Xiao Shuai was stunned for a moment, a little confused, but still followed Jiang Luo's instructions and put away his fighting stance.
Seeing that the two men did not resist, the general sneered and waved his hand: "Take them away!"
In this way, Jiang Luo and Xiao Shuai were brought to the City Lord's Mansion. The mansion was magnificent and looked extremely luxurious, but the faint demonic energy in the air made people feel depressed.
Jiang Luo looked around and thought to himself, "It seems that there is indeed something wrong with this City Lord's Mansion."
Soon, the two were brought to a spacious hall. In the center of the hall stood a middle-aged man in a gorgeous robe, with a dignified face and sharp eyes. He stared at Jiang Luo and Xiao Shuai and asked coldly: "Who are you? Why are you inciting the people in my capital?"
Jiang Luo looked calm and said calmly: "We are just travelers passing by here. We heard that the City Lord's Mansion is arresting innocent people here, so we came to inquire."
The middle-aged man sneered, with a bit of disdain in his tone: "A mere traveler dares to interfere in the affairs of my City Lord's Mansion? How audacious!"
At this moment, Jiang Luo suddenly felt a strong demonic energy coming from behind the city lord. He fixed his eyes and said in a cold voice: "Lord City Lord, can you explain what the 'magic stone' behind you is?"
Upon hearing this, the city lord's expression changed slightly, and he sneered, "Is it your business? Come on, put them in the dungeon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers rushed up and tried to capture Jiang Luo and Xiao Shuai.
However, Jiang Luo just raised his hand lightly, and those soldiers were as if fixed by an invisible force, unable to move.
The city lord was horrified and shouted, "You... who are you?"
Jiang Luo's eyes were like knives, and he said coldly: "Don't worry about who I am, just tell me! What is the purpose of this Son of God behind you? Why do you want to sacrifice the lives of living people?"
The city lord snorted coldly: "Who do you think you are? I will do whatever you tell me to do? This is the order of the Lord Human Emperor! The sacrifice of the sacred stone cannot be delayed for a moment! Haha, since these two people don't want to leave, then throw them into the altar and make them sacrifices to the sacred stone!"
As he spoke, the city lord gave an order: "Come here, push them into the altar!"
As soon as the city lord finished speaking, the surrounding soldiers immediately took action. They brandished spears and swords, surrounded Jiang Luo and Xiao Shuai, and tried to force them to the altar.
Xiao Shuai clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger and unwillingness: "Boss, shall we do it?"
Jiang Luo's expression remained calm, his eyes as still as a deep pool. He said calmly, "It doesn't matter, let's see what they want to do first."
The soldiers pushed Jiang Luo and Xiao Shuai and brought them to the altar. In the center of the altar stood a huge black stone, with strange patterns all over the surface, emitting a disturbing dark red light. Around the stone were several shrunken corpses, which were obviously the victims who had been sacrificed before.
The city lord stood beside the altar with a fanatical look on his face: "The divine stone is about to awaken. As long as we offer two more sacrifices, we will gain endless power!"
Jiang Luo raised his head, his eyes swept coldly across the black stone, his brows slightly furrowed: "Is this the source of the demonic energy crystal?"
Xiao Shuai gritted his teeth and said, "Boss, we can't wait any longer, we have to stop them!"
Jiang Luo nodded and whispered, "Xiao Shuai, get ready."
Just as the soldiers were about to push the two men into the altar, Jiang Luo suddenly raised his hand, and an invisible force instantly erupted, knocking back all the surrounding soldiers. The soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, and their weapons fell out of their hands one after another.
The city lord saw this and his face changed drastically. He shouted sternly: "How dare you resist! Come on, kill them!"
More soldiers came from all directions, with swords flashing and murderous intent filling the air.
Jiang Luo looked grim, raised his hand and waved it, and a huge golden light curtain instantly unfolded, covering Xiao Shuai and himself. The soldiers' weapons chopped on the light curtain, making a "clang" sound of metal collision, but they could not break through it at all.
Xiao Shuai clenched his fists and whispered, "Boss, what should we do if they pull us down?"
Jiang Luo's eyes condensed, and he said calmly: "Destroy that divine stone first, and never let the demonic energy crystals continue to spread."
After saying this, he flashed and instantly appeared in the center of the altar. He raised his hand and pressed it on the black stone, and a dazzling golden light condensed in his palm. The power of rules contained in the golden light continued to erode the evil spirit on the surface of the stone, and the stone began to vibrate violently.
The city lord saw this scene and shouted in horror: "Stop! If you dare to destroy the sacred stone, the emperor will never let you go!"
Jiang Luo looked at the city lord coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Human Emperor? He is nothing more than a puppet of the crystallization of demonic energy."
As he finished speaking, the evil spirit on the surface of the black stone was gradually swallowed up by the golden light. Finally, with a "bang", the stone shattered into countless pieces and turned into black powder that floated in the air.
Upon seeing this, the city lord's face turned pale instantly, his legs softened, and he fell to the ground: "It's over... Everything is over..."
Jiang Luo withdrew his hand, glanced around, and said in a cold voice: "The magic crystal has been destroyed, and the order of this city will gradually be restored."
Just after Jiang Luo destroyed the magic stone, the scene in front of him began to collapse miraculously, and the magnificent City Lord's Mansion disappeared before his eyes like dust.
After the City Lord's Mansion disappeared, the street they had just come from also gradually disappeared. The bustling crowds, the hawkers' cries, the noisy children, and the shops that used to line the streets all disappeared before their eyes.
When I looked at the street again, I saw that the only people left were ragged beggars. They were extremely weak. Some of them were lying on the ground, some were leaning on crutches, and some were holding sick children.
The houses were collapsed or tilted, the ground was littered with garbage, many animal carcasses, and even human remains.
Jiang Luo frowned and walked out of the ruins of the City Lord's Mansion. He walked up to an old man and asked, "Old man, what's going on in this street? It was so lively just now, why has it become like this now?"
The old man was so skinny that his bones were visible. He looked at the disappearing divine stone and said, "Are you a god? Those prosperous and bustling streets just now were all created by the divine stone. In fact, decades ago, our place had already become destitute. The emperor built ten divine stones, corresponding to ten streets. Offering sacrifices to activate the divine stones can make the capital city full of vitality and prosperity again. But that vitality and prosperity..."
The old man didn't say anything else, but Jiang Luo continued for him: "They are all illusions..."
Haha, is it fun to deceive yourself?
No wonder he didn’t feel any abnormality in the 2073 world line. It turned out to be because of these illusions.
