532 A great harvest! An ancient treasure!
“Brother Jin, Zhu hongxue has committed an unforgivable sin.” Shen lang said, ” when he set the heaven vanishing mountain on fire, he almost burned the entire primitive forest of the sand primitive tribe. In the end, the fire was only extinguished after a few days and nights of heavy rain. However, 80% of the forest of the sand primitive tribe has already disappeared.
Jin Jun’s face twitched. This was undoubtedly a huge disaster. These primitive forests were at least thousands of years old, or even older. How many creatures were there in the forest? Tens of millions, hundreds of millions? This fire had almost caused the extinction of the ecosystem within a few thousand miles.
Jin Jun’s heart ached so much that it almost twitched. This was his Great Southern kingdom, his thousands of miles of territory.
After a long while, Jin Jun said, ” misfortune may be a blessing in disguise. This is a disaster. However, Xuanji is also a new life. This way, when His Majesty conquers the entire Eastern world, our Great Southern kingdom will be able to merge with the eastern civilization even faster. At the very least, the sand primitive tribes can also farm, instead of relying on hunting and gathering. They don’t have to live like a primitive tribe anymore.”
This was a reserved ruler. No matter what happened, she could use a strategic vision to observe.
To a certain extent, his words were correct. If this was the Northwest of the eastern world, a great fire that burned down a large primitive forest would be a huge disaster. It would bring irreversible damage to the entire land and cause permanent ecological destruction. However, the sand primitive tribe was located in the South, close to the sea. It was a typical high-heat and wetland area. Even if all the forests were burned down, it would not take long for countless lives to recover here.
Also, the sand primitive people were obviously very powerful, but why had they never become a powerful country in the past hundreds of years? it was because of the barriers of mountains and forests, which made the tribes isolated from each other to a large extent. It was basically impossible to communicate with each other when the distance was more than 300 to 400 miles.
Moreover, the ubiquitous primitive forests prevented the birth of cities and the reproduction of farming civilization.
Shen lang said, ” although my raging tide city is small, the internal affairs are getting more and more complicated. I am a lazy person, so as the king of the Great South, you can help me in the raging tide city and be the Prime Minister for a while. Of course, if you don’t like the title of Prime Minister, I can change it to the hand of the Sovereign Lord or the hand of the Emperor.
This was unprecedented in the eastern world, just like how the king of Jin could never become the Prime Minister of the great Yan Empire. However, this was very common in the Western world. The monarch of a duchy under the xilun dynasty might go to the imperial capital to become the Prime Minister.
“This Minister will obey.” only with the great Qian dynasty can there be the southern kingdom and the sand primitive tribe’s Kingdom. I will do my best to serve the great Qian Empire and then build my Great Southern kingdom, ” Jin Jun said.
Then, Shen lang told her about his return to the eastern world. Jin Jun was amazed. She did not expect Shen lang to achieve such a great victory in less than a year.
Not only did they take back raging tide city, but they also protected the Wu, Chu, and Yue kingdoms, and the entire Eastern world was split into three.
Shen lang said, ” the master of stupa mountain has warned me. Within 10 days, he will gather an Army to attack raging tide city and wipe it off the face of the earth. What do you think is the possibility? ”
Jin Jun pondered for a long time and said, ” I feel that from the perspective of strategic interests, it’s not wise for Ying Guang and stupa mountain to send troops to destroy our raging tide city. With the historical event of Ying Wuming attending the Supreme power conference on behalf of stupa mountain, the world was officially divided into three. Even though stupa mountain and the newly established Kingdom have officially joined forces, I feel that the great Yan Empire is still the strongest at the moment. Maintaining the situation of the world being divided into three should be the most beneficial to Ying Guang and stupa mountain.”
“In any situation where the world is divided into three, the two weak should join forces to fight against the strongest. This kind of structure is the most stable. However, we’re too special. The relationship between the great Qian Empire and the new Qian Kingdom is one of life and death. Originally, stupa mountain and we had the chance to cooperate, but the master of stupa mountain saw us as too weak. Moreover, you have the ability to activate and launch Dragon’s regret. Therefore, he only wanted to control you completely, which made it impossible for the two of us to cooperate.”
in the end, the master of stupa mountain and Ying guangdou don’t really want to kill you. They only want to completely capture you and destroy your intelligence and will. They want to use you as a tool to launch Dragon’s regret. “Thus, I feel that they will definitely attack raging tide city. Even if raging tide city is of no value to them, and even attacking raging tide city is contrary to their strategic interests, in order to make you appear and submit, they will do this.”
This was in line with Shen Lang’s judgment.
Shen lang said,”what do you think the Emperor of Great Yan is thinking about?” He’s been in seclusion all this time. Could it be that he’s just waiting for us to fight with Ying Guang and stupa mountain until both sides are injured so that he can come and reap the benefits?”
Jin Jun shook her head and said, ” I really can’t guess what the Emperor of Great Yan is thinking. He’s always so elusive. I don’t think there are many people in the world who can guess what he’s thinking. However, I feel that he is still the most powerful and terrifying enemy. Even Emperor Jiang Li, who is so powerful, was defeated by him. I can’t overestimate him.”
there’s one more thing. The emissary of white jade City actually attended the Supreme power conference this time. Jin Jun said, ” our information is too vague. We don’t know what happened at the Supreme power conference this time. What’s the topic? ” However, I feel that this meeting must be very important, and it might even be related to the fate of the world. However, it is still very far from the secular kingship.”
Shen lang nodded. Jin Jun’s judgment was almost the same as his, and his description was very accurate.
The reason why this topic was so important, related to the fate of the world, and even determined the direction of the next century, was based on two reasons.
First, it was rare for white jade City to send an emissary to attend the Supreme Council, and the emissary’s rank was not low.
Secondly, the great Yan Empire wanted to postpone the date of the Supreme Council meeting. At least, they wanted to wait until raging tide city was completely wiped out by Dragon’s regret before carrying it out officially. Stupa mountain and Ying Guang wanted to use this opportunity to cause trouble and send a strong signal to the entire Eastern world to leave the great Yan Empire. However, the great Yan Empire did not postpone it and held it as scheduled.
In addition, the master of Xuan Kong temple, who had been very mysterious, also participated. Pavilion master Zuo Ci had completely withdrawn from the State of Yue and was staking everything on the great desert. He could have chosen not to participate in the transcending Parliament, but he still went.
Therefore, the Supreme power Council must be very important this time, and they must have made some crucial decision.
However, it was still very far away from secular kingship. This was because the actions of Ying Guang and stupa mountain were not affected. Instead, they continued on the path of independence and continued to resist the great Yan Empire.
Then, how should he compare the content of this supreme power conference?
It was similar to the discovery of an alien civilization a few light-years away from the modern earth, but the level of the alien civilization was unknown. It might be very weak, so this planet would become a colony of the earth in the future. Or perhaps the level of this alien civilization was so high that it could destroy the earth.
This matter would definitely be elevated to the highest strategic level, directly related to the fate of earth. But would China and the United States stop fighting because of this? It was impossible!
“Your Majesty, as the ruler of the world, it’s necessary for you to know the contents of this conference. It’s very important for the future of great Qian Empire. One can’t plan for a moment without thinking about the future,” Jin Jun said.
Shen lang nodded his head. Some things seemed distant and unconcerned, but it might be too late when one wanted to care about them.
The two of them chatted as they walked up the mountain, heading toward the peak of the Vajra peak.
At an altitude of more than 5000 meters, it was really far if they spiraled up. At first, Shen lang still walked, but he could not walk anymore and rode a horse.
“This warhorse was also brought in from the outside?” Shen lang asked.
Jin Jun nodded. that’s right, and they’re warhorses from the Qiang Kingdom. They were very small at first, but after entering this place, they actually became strong and tall. Their speed and endurance have been greatly improved.
The two of them climbed higher and higher. After a few hours, they finally reached the top of the ruins and arrived in front of the gate of the ancient temple.
It was another energy vortex, but it was slightly different.
The previous energy vortex was a circle with a diameter of thirty meters, but the energy vortex in front of him was in the shape of a door, thirty meters tall and fifteen meters wide.
“When Yu ancestor brought all of you into the ancient ruins of the Vajra peak, how did he open the entrance?” Shen lang asked.
Jin Jun shook her head. I don’t know because she took us in directly. When we saw it, the entrance was already open. We don’t know what state it was in before. Was it a door or an energy vortex? ”
When they arrived in front of the energy vortex at the entrance of the ancient temple, Jin Jun took out a dagger and gently threw it at the entrance of the energy vortex. The dagger instantly turned into ashes, and the effect was even amazing and terrifying.
In fact, Shen lang did not understand the structure of the energy vortex. It was too powerful. However, it should be impossible to maintain such a powerful energy at all times. Even the ancient civilization would find it difficult to do so.
Therefore, it should also be a kind of trigger mechanism. Usually, it would only be in standby mode, and the energy consumption was very low. However, if it detected an intrusion, it would immediately release a powerful energy and destroy everything.
“Your Majesty, can you feel how dangerous he is?” Jin Jun asked.
Even though Shen lang had passed through an energy vortex before, could he enter the one in front of him? If it did not work and Shen lang was in danger, Jin Jun felt that she would have to die.
Shen lang could not be completely sure of that. Furthermore, his X-Ray Eyes and the AI could not detect anything wrong with the energy vortex. If an accident were to happen, his body would be turned into ashes.
Moreover, Shen lang realized that the color of the energy Whirlpool was different. The energy Whirlpool at the end of the ancient ruins in the southern sea was green, but this one was blue. What did this prove?
This energy vortex required a higher level of authority? Would Shen lang be able to pass through it successfully?
As a result, he reached out to touch the energy vortex, and Jin Jun almost held her breath.
In the end, nothing unexpected happened.
Shen Lang’s hand passed through the energy vortex easily without any danger.
Jin Jun heaved a sigh of relief and was overjoyed. It was not because Shen lang was able to enter the temple or obtain a treasure. Instead, it proved that Shen lang had extremely high authority in the ancient ruins. This further proved that he was the Master of Destiny.
“I’ll be waiting for Your Majesty outside.” Jin Jun said.
Shen lang nodded and walked through the energy Whirlpool.
He still didn’t feel anything, as if he was passing through an ordinary light screen.
At that moment, even Shen lang had a feeling that he was the Master of Destiny.
After crossing the energy vortex and entering the temple, Shen lang kept his eyes closed. He had to imagine the interior of the temple in his mind before opening his eyes to verify if it was the same as what he imagined.
In his imagination, the interior of this ancient temple should be mysterious and majestic, just like in countless movies and television works, completely subverting the imagination of human beings, like hell and heaven.
There might be huge gods, powerful divine beasts, countless treasures, mysterious equipment, and so on.
With this thought in mind, Shen lang slowly opened his eyes and was shocked.
This, this is the ancient temple?
....................................
The temple was completely different from what Shen lang had imagined.
It was indeed very big and very spacious.
However, there was almost nothing inside, and it was extremely simple.
The houses and sculptures outside were so exquisite that even the roads seemed to be paved with Jade. However, everything in the temple was made of ordinary stones, as if they had been randomly mined from the mountain.
There were no divine beasts, no countless treasures, and almost nothing.
There was only a huge statue.
This was the God that the temple worshipped? But what kind of God was it?
The statue was about 50 meters tall. It was a strong and ferocious man with a human face and a snake body. His hair was red and his eyes were golden. He was full of destructive aura.
Shen lang was confused. He knew that there was a Medusa with a human face and a snake body in The Lost Country and the great devil triangle in the Western world. There was even a Medusa Queen. Furthermore, this Queen Medusa could attract millions of sea monsters to cry in intoxication with just a light projection. They would not move and would not even care about life and death.
However, Medusas were only female, not male. Then what kind of creature was this huge male with a human face and a snake body that they were worshiping?
Why did the ancient empire build such a huge sacrificial city to worship him?
The so-called ancient ruins of the Vajra peak was a complete mausoleum. Everything in this ancient city was fake, just like the rivers, lakes, and seas in the Qin Shi Emperor’s mausoleum were fake. The houses and palaces were also fake, and even the Army was made up of stone terracotta soldiers.
Such a huge city was built just to worship a statue of a God? How high was its status in the ancient civilization?
In the Great Hall of the temple, there was another person besides the statue of the god with a human face and a snake body!
In front of the huge statue, this person seemed particularly small. He knelt on the ground humbly, his eyes full of despair.
This person was not a statue but an ancient human. However, it had also turned into a fossil because Shen lang could see its internal organs after scanning it with an X-ray.
If Shen lang had to describe the scene in front of him, it would be the end of the world.
The status of this ancient human must have been very, very high, but his Empire was about to be destroyed, so he came to ask for the protection of the God. However, the God did not appear, and his Empire was still destroyed.
Previously, in the secret base of the Zhu family, he had also found several fossils of ancient humans.
However, the status of the person in front of him should be higher because Shen lang saw the crown. However, the crown seemed to have turned into a fossil and had completely fused with his body.
Shen lang was confused. What kind of doomsday did the king in front of him encounter? The invasion of the Western world’s Queen Medusa? It was indeed the case at the Zhu family’s Secret base, because the ancient humans finally gave up on firing Dragon’s regret, and they completely turned into stone at a certain moment, so their expressions were still alive.
However, the king in the temple in front of him had a deathly expression, as if he was gradually withering and turning into a fossil. Therefore, the king’s despair was even greater, as if he was not facing an invincible enemy, but the destruction of a civilization.
................................................
Soon, Shen lang cast these thoughts aside and stopped trying to figure out the meaning of this scene. He also stopped trying to figure out what happened in the ancient world.
The key was the treasure. He wanted the treasure.
The level of this temple should be very high, and there should be treasures in such a huge tomb.
Not to mention Qin Shi emperor’s tomb, even the other emperors ‘tombs in history had countless treasures. Gold, silver, and jewelry were just ordinary items. There were even treasures like jade seals.
The ancient ruins in the southern sea that stupa mountain had developed was only an ancient city, but they had already excavated countless ancient weapons, equipment, and ancient books. The temple in front of them was so high and mighty. It was not appropriate for it to not have a single treasure, right?
Shen lang searched the entire temple and even scanned it with an X-ray. However, he still could not find a single treasure.
This, this was really strange.
If you don’t have any treasures, why did you create such a high-level energy vortex at the entrance? I’m the only one who can come in, but there’s nothing inside.
This was equivalent to playing World of Warcraft in a large-scale dungeon. After killing the last BOSS, not a single piece of equipment was dropped.
Unfortunately, the temple in front of him was not a game dungeon. It was just a temple used by the ancient civilization to worship gods.
It was normal for the ancient city to have an Armory, a secret laboratory, and a library. The temple was specifically used for worship, so there was really nothing inside.
After a while, Shen Lang’s gaze landed on the statue of the god with a human face and a snake body. Perhaps it was a huge treasure?
He scanned it with his X-Ray Eyes and found nothing. It was a mysterious substance. Then, Shen lang pulled out his dagger and tried to cut open the outer shell of the statue.
F * ck, Shen lang was really fearless. He had gone crazy in order to obtain treasures. This was a God that was worshipped in ancient times.
The ancient humans were already so powerful, and the gods they worshiped were even more mysterious and powerful. Weren’t you afraid of being punished by the heavens if you directly used a knife to cut them?
The outer shell of the statue was made of some unknown material, and even the sharpest dagger could not cut through it.
Then what should he do?
He couldn’t just go out without any gains, right?
Next, Shen Lang’s target was the ancient King’s fossil that was kneeling on the ground.
Shen lang had taken away the few ancient human fossils that he had found in the secret base. Their blood had extraordinary effects. It could be used to increase the power of the Hellfire and fire Dragon’s regret.
This ancient King’s status was even higher, and his bloodline was definitely even more noble. Perhaps his entire body was filled with treasures. If he directly moved him out, he might be able to make a huge profit.
After that, Shen lang tried his best, but he could not move it at all.
This was because the ancient King’s stone seemed to have completely fused with the ground, as if it had taken root. Even if Shen lang had the strength of a thousand pounds, he would not be able to move it, let alone Shen lang who was weak.
Since I can’t move it, I’ll cut open your body and take some blood fossils. It might be useful. Anyway, I can’t go back empty-handed.
Then, Shen lang used all his strength, but he could not cut the fossilized skin of the ancient king. It was harder than steel, and the sharp dagger in Shen Lang’s hand became blunt.
What was going on? The human fossils in Dragon’s Regret’s Secret base were fragile and could be easily cut open, but this ancient King’s fossil was impervious to weapons.
If cutting didn’t work, then he would smash it.
“Bang, bang, bang Bang Bang Bang!”
Shen lang waved his sword and slashed crazily, but the sword shattered.
Speaking of swords, one had to mention the strangeness of the energy vortex. Logically speaking, Shen lang had extremely high authority, so it was not strange for him to be able to pass through the energy vortex. However, his clothes and weapons could also be brought through the energy vortex. However, if these things touched the energy vortex alone, they would turn into ashes immediately. How on earth did it judge the authority?
In short, no matter what Shen lang did, it was useless. He could not take away a single hair of the ancient king, let alone the blood Stone. He could not even cut off the corner of his clothes.
Shen lang sat down helplessly. Was he really going to return empty-handed? He was really unwilling.
However, he did not have time to waste here. The Lord of stupa mountain and Ying Guang had already gathered their troops to attack raging tide city. Shen lang had to bring Jin Jun’s Army out as soon as possible, especially him. He had to return to raging tide city as soon as possible. Only he had the authority to Fire Dragon’s regret.
Furthermore, the main purpose of coming to the ancient ruins of the Vajra peak was to save Jin Jun and the tens of thousands of followers.
The so-called obtaining of treasures was originally something out of the plan. If there was something, of course he would be surprised, but if there wasn’t, he should be calm.
However, before Shen lang entered the ancient temple, he had a feeling that he would obtain an ultimate treasure, one that was even more precious than Dragon’s regret.
Next, Shen lang tried to search every corner of the temple, but he still could not find anything. There was not even a nightmare stone or an ancient book, let alone any treasures.
After trying for another hour, Shen lang gave up when he did not gain anything.
let’s get out. The safety of raging tide city is more important. he really didn’t have time to waste here. If he delayed the war situation in raging tide city and caused a disaster, it would be a huge sin.
Shen lang sighed and left without looking back. He walked out of the temple.
Once again, he arrived at the energy vortex at the entrance of the temple. After passing through this vortex, he would officially be out. Furthermore, based on Shen Lang’s character, he would not be back for a short period of time.
Suddenly, Shen lang stopped in his tracks and walked back to the king’s stone that was kneeling on the ground. He observed his entire body carefully.
His hair, clothes, and crown had all fused with his body, and his body had also fused with the ground. He could not move at all, and any external objects on his body had already turned into the color of fossils.
Just now, when he was about to leave, he felt that something was wrong. What was wrong?
Shen lang used the AI to search and quickly got the answer. The ring of the ancient king had a color difference. Although the ring looked like it was made of stone, it was slightly different from the fossil of the ancient King’s body. If one did not use the AI, it would be difficult to tell with the naked eye.
Shen lang tried to take off the ring of the ancient king.
In the end, Yingying took it off effortlessly and held it in her hand.
All the external objects of this ancient king had fused with his body and turned into fossils, but this ring was still independent. Did this mean that this ring was very impressive? Such transcendence?
Shen lang held the ring and observed it carefully.
There was nothing unusual about it. It was like a ring carved out of stone.
He scanned the area with his X-Ray Eyes, but he found nothing.
Even its shape was very ordinary. It didn’t look like a king’s ring at all. It was just a ring without any gems or inscriptions. On modern earth, this thing wouldn’t even be able to sell for ten dollars.
However, Shen lang could smell a mysterious and powerful aura from it. It was very suppressive and any living being would shiver in fear in front of it.
Shen lang could not help but think of the magic ring in ” The Lord of the Rings “. It was also a ring of supremacy, but it was evil and depraved.
However, the ancient king’s ring in front of him was different. It was not evil, nor was it righteous or bright. It was just powerful, mysterious, and intimidating.
He could not help but hold his breath. This was the item. It was definitely more valuable than Dragon’s regret and had a higher strategic level, even though Shen lang had no idea what it was used for.
Should I wear this ring now? What would the consequences be if he wore it?
This was because the energy aura of the ring was indeed shocking. Even a daring lunatic like Shen lang was afraid and even felt his soul tremble.
He took a deep breath.
No matter what the outcome is, since I’ve already obtained this ring, it’s impossible for me not to wear it. No matter what happens, I’ll accept it.
I’d like to see if I can wear a ring that ancient kings can wear. I’d like to see if I’m the Master of Destiny. After I wear it, will I really turn into ashes?
Then, Shen lang put on the ancient king’s ring without saying anything.
“BOOM!”
In an instant, it was as if a nuclear bomb had exploded in Shen Lang’s head, and it shone with a light that was many times brighter than the sun.
At the same time, Shen Lang’s eyes shone with a shocking light.
His entire body trembled and then fell down.
