Heaven Unleashed Its Murderous Intent, Cataclysm Befell the Gods (1/3)
"I have more reason than you to kill those Guhuo Bird— "
"No, or more accurately, to destroy those gods."
His tone remained calm and indifferent, as if Wu Yi wasn't talking about what to eat today.
That extreme coldness made Xiluo, who was standing next to him, shiver.
"All the previous high priests were too conservative."
"To be precise, it's that they didn't know how to completely destroy the gods."
"Before coming to these Hundred Lands Mountain Range and meeting my adoptive mother, I had actually been struggling with this very issue."
"I've thought about hunting down those gods one by one."
"But gods are born of heaven and earth, and they cannot be completely eradicated."
"If I kill one, two will appear, and the new gods aren't necessarily more sensible than the former."
"Until I witnessed your Way of the Celestial Person, saw my foster mother, and saw the Primordial Spirit you manifested."
"A vague idea gradually took shape in my mind, and then turned into a feasible plan."
Having said all that, Li Boyang naturally understood Wu Yi's implied meaning.
"You want to kill all the gods once and for all, instead of banishing them from the Divine Land Barrier?"
To be honest, Li Boyang was truly shocked this time.
Li Boyang could understand the idea of a mortal killing a god.
However, it is truly perplexing that a mortal would want to slaughter all the gods.
More importantly, what methods does Wu Yi intend to use to do this incredible thing?
How could you possibly do such a thing?
Unable to hide her shock any longer, Xiluo instinctively retorted.
Killing one or two gods is indeed very easy.
But they wanted to slaughter all the gods, and eradicate them once and for all.
In Xiluo's view, this was simply an impossible thing, no different from a fairy tale.
However, the frantic warning from the Primordial Spirit confirmed that Wu Yi indeed possessed a method capable of killing all the gods at once.
"Actually, on my journey south, I encountered many Ghost God that had escaped from the Hundred Lands Mountain Range."
"From them, I learned what happened in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, and I also learned that the Way of the Celestial Person that you taught did not pay attention to Xiluo. Wu Yi just continued to talk to Li Boyang with a smile."
"You are attempting to replace the Way of the Heavenly Deity with the Way of the Celestial Person, to make those gods abandon the killing and human sacrifice of all living beings."
"Your idea is excellent and indeed very feasible, but it will take far too long."
"However, some of your ideas are indeed very valuable."
"For example, deities are born from the cycle of heaven and earth and all things; they are the concrete manifestation of the primordial principle."
"So, does disrupting the operation of the universe mean we can fundamentally prevent the birth of new gods?"
Upon hearing this, the look in Li Boyang's eyes when he looked at Wu Yi could no longer be described as that of a "madman."
At the same time, he finally understood why what was originally a great calamity had turned into a catastrophe.
"Don't you know the consequences of doing this?"
"What you're doing is disrupting the order of heaven and earth, and the consequences will be far beyond your imagination."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yi merely smiled slightly.
"I don't care. Can the consequences be any worse than being slaughtered like livestock by the gods?"
Before Li Boyang could refute, Wu Yi continued speaking.
"At first, it was just a vague idea in my mind—"
"Until my adoptive mother appeared, I witnessed firsthand the power of the Primordial Spirit, a power originating from the Way of the Celestial Person."
"Able to make the immortal Guhuo Bird is forever pursuing immortality, contemplate suicide."
"Capable of granting ordinary mortals the status of Innate Deity" -
"The Primordial Spirit truly lives up to its name as a god formed from primordial energy; it is one of the most important core elements of the Way of the Celestial Person."
The smile on his lips was no longer concealed; Wu Yi's expression at this moment even appeared somewhat arrogant.
"Even a mortal who cultivates to the point of achieving the Primordial Spirit."
"And what about me? The most powerful witch? The will of all the previous Witch King?"
It was as if it were confirming his own words.
Just like Yin Fei yesterday, Wu Yi suddenly felt a faint spiritual light appear behind his head.
Unlike Yin Fei, Wu Yi was also clearly split, even into nine parts, yet the whole thing presented a strange sense of harmony.
Even more absurdly, Wu Yi has not yet formally manifested his Primordial Spirit.
The power it emitted was already comparable to the Primordial Spirit Li Boyang had cultivated for more than ten years.
Within that nine beams of spiritual light, each possessed power comparable to Li Boyang's Primordial Spirit.
The final form produced by the return of nine to one and the mutual rotation is definitely not as simple as multiplying the base value by nine.
"I see!"
After witnessing this scene, Li Boyang finally understood the ins and outs of the entire calamity.
Three years ago, in the later stages of the flood crisis.
As Wu Yi gradually eliminated the deities within the Great Xia territory and established his supreme authority,
He had already prepared the "Divine Land Barrier" plan, attempting to use the divine cauldrons forged by successive Witch King to suppress the Nine Provinces.
This is the origin of the great calamity, and also the reason why a deity like Xiluo feels a sense of crisis.
However, the Divine Cauldron clearly has limitations; it can only pose a threat to gods like Xiluo, but cannot truly threaten Guhuo Bird possesses the ability of an "Undying Soul."
It wasn't until Li Boyang received a hint from "Xiluo" that he realized Xiluo and the Hundred Lands Mountain Range were also doomed.
My own desire to follow the will of heaven and remain aloof is...
It's not necessarily true that you can protect the people and gods you care about.
Or to be more precise, Wu Yi has clearly brought the Hundred Lands Mountain Range under the rule of the "Divine Land Barrier".
Even if Li Boyang forced his way through, he might not be able to withstand the power of those nine divine cauldrons.
Then, the point of divergence between "Great Calamity" and "Cataclysm" emerged.
If the deduction of the "Great Calamity" continues...
Wu Yi ultimately fulfilled the long-cherished wish of all the previous Witch King, building a human kingdom shrouded in the "Divine Land Barrier".
Next, perhaps, the power of the gods will gradually diminish.
A deity like Xiluo would either die or flee.
In any case, the final outcome was definitely that they left the area of the "Divine Land Barrier".
Therefore, unwilling to accept this outcome, Li Boyang chose to go against the grain at this point of divergence.
Since following the will of Heaven is not an option,
Sometimes, we have to fight against fate and forcibly seize that sliver of hope.
The outcome was something Li Boyang never expected.
He had only just begun to harbor murderous intent towards Wu Yi when the Guhuo Bird group, which could also foresee fortune and misfortune, sensed the impending crisis of death.
What Li Boyang didn't expect was that a Guhuo Bird named "Yin Fei" was experiencing mental and consciousness confusion due to its attempt to manifest its Primordial Spirit, which led to thoughts of suicide and liberation.
Coincidentally, Yin Fei was Wu Yi's adoptive mother.
This series of complex chain reactions directly led to Wu Yi meeting Yin Fei, who had been avoiding him on another timeline.
Meanwhile, Yin Fei's death intensified Wu Yi's murderous intent towards Guhuo Bird and the gods.
Thus, what was originally a great calamity has completely evolved into a catastrophe.
As one of the sources of this catastrophe, Li Boyang's "Way of the Celestial Person" even became an aid for Wu Yi to completely destroy the gods.
