Chapter 781: Chapter 525: Ruined Buddhist Land (Part 2)
Without a doubt, anyone daring to do such a thing must be a powerful entity of Six-Star strength or higher.
Why does Great Xia feel the need to monitor and restrict various dangerous talents, and why is it that since elementary school, everyone is taught the two major Contract Techniques for meditation, with regulations requiring awakening and training only at the age of 16?
The answer is simple.
Because if left unchecked, the consequences would be like this.
The essence gathered from countless worlds in the void doesn’t only nurture hopeful miracles.
Rather, why assume that the will and essence of those countless worlds would act according to the moral standards of the people of Blue Star?
Perhaps in those worlds, lower life forms are merely food for the higher beings, or harboring malice towards everything is as normal as eating and drinking.
Even...
Why assume that others in the world see life the same way you do?
With differing worldviews, origins, and power systems, how can they be considered the same kind?
Based merely on similar appearances and bodily structures?
This isn’t even malicious but a pure form of otherness.
From the perspective of the people of Great Xia, all of this seems utterly absurd.
But upon careful thought, it’s evident that...
The people of Great Xia have been shaped towards "humanity" by some mysterious power since birth.
Contracting magical beasts and possessing dangerous talents, though biased against in Great Xia, at least seem relatively harmless, and some even transcend their origins and destinies, becoming well-spoken tales.
But if not in Great Xia, or those powerful nations?
These smaller countries, no matter how hard they try, find it difficult to succeed entirely.
With talents awakening too early, the inherent malice and terror from their origins unchecked by postnatal order, the consequences are dire.
Should such individuals walk the path of the Spirit Master, even condensing True Intent... they’d be like a literal moving natural disaster.
Vishdair frowned: "Why are these people so brazen? Hasn’t anyone killed them?"
Chelina whispered: "It’s said there used to be people to manage them, but these past two years... it’s hard to say."
"News reports show the world is beginning to descend into chaos."
Lin Guang spoke indifferently: "Tier Six Secret Realms are extremely rare in such places, inevitably attracting True Masters to vie for them. Perhaps to seize the initiative and gain assistance, they’ve made a grave taboo, plundering Great Yue’s official cities."
"......"
Lisa closed her eyes, unable to bear watching further.
Zumama took a deep breath and asked, "How much longer until we arrive?"
Lin Guang raised his hand, looking at the red dot flashing on the locator aligned with the snake bracelet on his wrist.
"Very soon."
At this moment, everyone instinctively tightened their grips on their weapons and Spiritual Artifacts, a certain angry expression flashing in their eyes.
...
Ten minutes later.
A thousand kilometers outside the borders of the Great Yue Country.
On the barren red earth.
Many ordinary people struggling to march using vehicles towards the Secret Realm rift looked up and saw lightning rapidly approaching in the sky.
"What... what is that?!"
"A dragon! It’s the Divine Dragon of the sky!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, five meteors of different colors began to descend from the dragon’s body.
And that Divine Dragon, looking out of control, continued shooting far away, crashing into the distant mountains.
Lightning flashed, making dusk as bright as daylight.
Instantly, the crowd erupted like ants on hot oil.
"The Divine Dragon is angry! It’s about to unleash heavenly punishment!"
"No! Don’t kill me!!"
Screams, cries, and curses mixed together, creating an indescribable chaos.
The main forces ahead had already entered the Secret Realm, while those still struggling across the plains were ordinary people who had spent several days with all their effort to arrive here.
Five meteors slowly descended from ten thousand meters high, arriving before the pulsating spatial rift.
Thud! Thud!
In an instant, those closest to the meteors collapsed to their knees.
Then...
The earth was densely covered with kneeling people.
They frantically kowtowed to the descending meteors, muttering incoherently, with many paralyzed with fear, rapidly wetting the ground beneath them.
With the miniature translation Spiritual Artifacts worn prior, various southwestern regional dialects clearly relayed into everyone’s minds below.
"Spare us, my lords! Don’t kill me! I haven’t done anything!"
"Please, I don’t want to die!"
Witnessing the hellish scene below, Lisa and Zumama, hovering through Spiritual Power, showed signs of panic.
Floating in the air, Vishdair’s face displayed undisguised disdain and displeasure, the black crystal-like thrusters behind him spewing intermittent blood flames.
Even Chelina and Lin Guang, standing on the air, couldn’t suppress a hint of pity in their eyes.
—This is the difference between a peak nation and the smaller ones.
In Great Xia, people are also extremely reverent of the strong and the Divine.
But the reverence comes because these beings use power and wisdom to uphold civilization, crafting a nation composed of rules and laws, granting dignity to all Great Xia citizens.
But here...
The reverence is simply because the strong can kill and extract souls on a whim.
Lin Guang looked at the hellish scene below, carefully sensing the residual aura around them.
One, two, three, four, five...
More than a day ago, five kinds of True Intent clashed here.
