Chapter 696 Unlocking the Path of Spiritual Disaster! (Small chapter)

Next, Ian told a lot more.

He talked about the importance of alchemy and the possibility of alchemical prosthetics to restore the disabled to health. He talked about such a future and promised that it would be realized. All people disabled due to war would receive almost free treatment. All that is needed is to go to Xiahui Ling to cooperate with the experiment.

He talked about the necessity of education and the significance of learning and knowledge to the mountain people. He announced that all war orphans would be raised by him at his expense, and all children who lost relatives due to the war would receive subsidies and free education in every tribe. Between the gathering places, there will be schools from Xiahui Ling in the future.

This is not compulsory education, and our empire does not support this. It is simply the Academy of Loyalty. All those who have dedicated their blood will have their blood reciprocated by the lord.

Ian tells a lot, he paints a picture of the future and makes people believe it as much as possible.

Then, there were bursts of cheers and praises.

Of course, a little potion may be added. However, compared to the fact of victory itself and the excitement aroused by Ian, these medicines were not so much about continuing to incite, but rather about allowing them to maintain a certain degree of calmness, so as not to injure themselves due to excessive enthusiasm.

After the speech, Ian remained silent in the face of this tsunami of calls.

At this moment, he closed his eyes slightly to listen to this mighty and noisy wave.

He heard.

He heard the beating of his heart and the tears streaming down his cheeks.

He heard the pain, torture and sadness lurking in everyone's hearts, but some people chose to cover up their uneasiness with excitement, and some people expressed their hesitation by crying.

Ian listened to it all. He knew what he was going to do and where he was going. His heartbeat was steady and strong. The light of stars lit up above his head, and the crown of guidance quietly emerged.

He can feel it, he can hear it, he can see it.

Therefore, we know that he is already at the center of thousands of mountains.

——He has truly been recognized by all the mountain people present... and has become a well-deserved co-leader of the mountain people and the messenger of the Dragon God.

So at this noon time, the sun is shining brightly.

On the top of the Holy Mountain of Steel, a star suddenly lit up.

Blue stars shone between the sky and the earth, and vaguely, the brilliance of the gods flashed away, and only Ian could see it.

At this moment, Ian sensed that the star gems that had been sealed in his "Guiding Star" and represented the "Spiritual Disaster Path" were suddenly unlocked.

Different from the gem that originally represented the 'Path of the Insect Swarm', this time, probably because Ian was more experienced, or because his control over the Heart Light Body became stronger, he sensed that behind the star-like gem, There are countless hazy silver-blue lines that are spreading, derived...

In other words, this time, he may not randomly choose the parallel world to 'connect' with himself. He can choose a string to strum and contact the other side.

Ian could also see that the choice was not without its limitations. With his current strength and condensed 'guidance', there are not many threads he can pull. Most of them are parallel worlds at the same level as himself, which is the highest level, which is the third energy level.

This is not surprising - the people randomly contacted by the insect swarm on the road are almost the insect swarm Ian who is around the second and third energy levels. Everyone wants to contact each other across levels, at least they must have experienced it. Only big events like the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea and the Viscounty of Avak will do.

Anyway, having a choice is better than random.

The conditions have been met and the choice can be made later.

Ian put his thoughts back.

The young man noticed that all the mountain people seemed to have seen this star that appeared in the daytime and hung in the sky.

Everyone saw it, they stared at Ian's light body, and stared at the incredible, almost miraculous vision - so there was a period of silence at first, and then there were bursts of noisy exclamations.

"What, what is this?!"

"Is it a vision? Heart light body? But... isn't the messenger only at the second level?!"

"This is a miracle! It's a miracle! It's the protection of the Dragon God!"

For a moment, a huge sound wave hit the entire valley. Everyone was dizzy from the shock of other people's voices. Even the mother holding the child ended her prayer. She raised her head with some confusion. He looked towards the top of the sky, and then slowly opened his eyes.

She didn’t believe that this was the result of her prayers…but it was too coincidental, too coincidental…

If this is a miracle...

At least, she would believe it.

Believe in a slim hope.

The admiration and cheers became louder, and Ian had a crown on his head. He was bathed in the sound of enthusiasm and hope, and even his calm heart was slightly rippled.

"I actually don't care at all how you are living, whether you were injured in the war... To be honest, I don't care about your future at all, because as long as everything develops according to my plan, you will have the minimum human rights and Life would not be as precarious as it is now."

Ian sighed in his heart: "But now I somewhat understand Grand Duke Thorin... If he bears such trust, as the hope of his own people, and foresees the harm of war to ordinary people, it is no wonder that he would be so stunned. I’m going to kill everyone and take their souls to hell.”

Because even the fourth-level Archduke Thorin could not stop the war between the Land of Fire and the Empire, nor could he stop the general trend of the times from running over his people, leaving behind a ruin of despair.

Just the many miserable voices he heard at the scene today, those sad wives and mothers, those fathers and husbands who were so desperate that they just forced themselves to listen to his speech, their stories were enough to melt the hearts of many people. mind.

If the scale of the war were larger, then the Grand Duke Thorin's domain as a buffer zone would definitely be more tragic.

In the Grand Duke's mind, what he did was probably an inevitable move made out of necessity.

But Archduke Thorin was wrong. Ian thought so.

Because his hell is not perfect enough, the dead king he designed is not perfect either.

So, let him do it.

It was up to him to create a religion that would soothe the hearts of these traumatized people.

Yes, this is not scientific, but the cold facts of science cannot comfort these desperate people - tell a widow, tell her that her husband will never come back, death is an eternal parting, and her days are also gone. It will not return to the past... So even if this is the truth, what's the use?

What's more, in Terra, this is not the 'truth'.

In the future, Ian can almost guarantee that he will face several wars, and by then, more people may die.

Death should not hinder his plans, at least, death should not be such an absolute finality.

——Perhaps, the connection between the ‘Guiding Star’ and the spiritual disaster path should be used here. I should try to find the technology related to the Dead Lord again... The artificial soul is not just the energy pool of the Dead Lord, nor is it just the foundation of the arcane path.

——Artificial soul may also be used as the starting point of ‘Second Life’... Death is only the beginning!

Ian thought. Through the unlocking of the Heart Light Body, he had another plan in mind.

Lowering his eyes, he looked at the people at the bottom of the mountain.

——I can’t give you back the husbands, wives and children you lost. I can’t turn back time and change everything.

——But I can at least give you a future. A future that, even if it means death, will not be an eternity.

[I am the messenger of the Dragon God, the prophet of thunder - I defeated the Constructed Knights of the Flying Flame Land, defeated the Kod of the Jiamu tribe, and am the one who smashed the traitor's conspiracy and defeated the enemy's conspiracy]

[I will lead you to victory, and victory after victory! 】

At this moment, Ian stepped forward, his voice echoing among the mountains.

The young man spread his hands and slowly walked down the stairs to the Holy Mountain. The magnetic storm armor shone around him, and the thunderous stairs shone with his steps.

He walked down the mountain and walked among the mountain people. Wherever he passed, chiefs of one tribe after another leaned down and knelt down to salute. Large swathes of the crowd looked in awe and full of hope to their envoys, their future leaders. Hope and the stars bowed.

Perhaps in the distant future, there will be a world where no one has to bow to anyone.

But not now.

——I will lead you...to the high heavens.

Ian lowered his eyes. He came to the center of the crowd and accepted the worship of the crowd. There was no sadness or joy in his heart, only the most determined desire.

On January 1, 774, Ian became the messenger of the Dragon God.

On the same day, Ian Yinfeng, the envoy of the Dragon God, and Manya Afud, the chief leader of the Nanling Mountain People, went to the Holy Land Steel Dragon's Nest together.
