Chapter 1565: Chapter 1105 Inheritance and Choice

Just as with the Eternal Prosperous Tang Dynasty, the development of humans in this world has been influenced by human players.

Their architectural styles and technology trajectories are similar to those of the main world.

Unfortunately, this world did not produce an emperor like Li Er. The knowledge imparted by human players was not fully digested before it was destroyed by wars initiated by Demons.

Currently, their weapons have only advanced to the stage of muskets and cannons.

But humanity’s counterattack has never ceased.

In the ancient times of this world, there were once mighty individuals who worshipped the Celestial God. Yet due to an upheaval, that all ended.

However, the secret chambers and Extraordinary Inheritances left by these strong individuals in this world’s corners, are controlled by the ruling classes of the human kingdoms.

And they use these to covertly oppose the Demons.

Yet they dare not reveal the truth about the Demons to the public, nor can they openly oppose the Church.

They can only resist in secret, hoping to retain and accumulate enough strength from each Divine Will Battle.

This is the information that the Biluo Main Brain has not accessed, because these details are secrets personally guarded by successive human kings and are not recorded or depicted in any texts or images.

"I had already become a Celestial during the last Divine Will Battle... At that time, I was in my sixties when I achieved the status of Celestial, considered the most talented among the Heavenly Prides and was entrusted with great expectations! Thus, the strong predecessors of that time, to ensure the youngest of us could survive and face the Future, voluntarily chose Divine Artifacts, welcoming their own madness. That allowed me to survive to this day, to become an emperor, and to continue teaching my juniors," Tian Ming said somberly: "But now, I have grown old. I still have not managed to become an Immortal, or to put it another way, I dare not become one."

Indeed, for humans, becoming a Demigod under the watch of such Demon is difficult.

Beings like the Supreme King are much too rare...

And according to Li Changhe’s perspective, Tian Ming was still some distance away from becoming a Demigod.

He is not a player; without undergoing different tasks, it’s hard to obtain what are called opportunities or sudden enlightenment.

In this world, he’s already the strongest among humans. But even so, it’s not enough!

"Your appearance made me realize that relying on the humans of this world alone, we cannot break free from the Demons. We must depend on you... members of the Human Race like yourselves!" Tian Ming said with a heavy voice.

Li Changhe nodded in understanding, then asked, "In ancient times, you worshipped the Celestial God, and there were Immortals amongst you. But what kind of catastrophe turned you into this state?"

"It has not been recorded, but it was likely an enemy from beyond the heavens; multitudes of mighty ones fell. Later, a sage emperor unified the world. But then came the Demons, persisting up to the present," Tian Ming replied: "The gap in Civilization means we know very little and have also forgotten the origins of the Demonic Territory. But from the fragments of history we are certain that the Demonic Territory existed in the ancient times. We are the descendants of ancestors, the mighty ones who suppressed the Demonic Territory."

"Suppression... do you know of Yi?" Li Changhe inquired: "The hero who shot down the Nine Suns, Great Yi!"

"I haven’t... at least it hasn’t been passed down to our generation," Tian Ming shook his head: "That history is too distant. We only know that we worshipped the Celestial God at that time."

Li Changhe nodded slightly; he had a rough idea of this world’s overall situation.

This world was a kind of ’hell’ from the Heaven Court Era, not the afterlife for souls, nor the so-called underworld.

But instead, a prison that detained the enemies of the Celestial Court. The prisoners inside are Demons, or even higher-level Divine Existences.

They are not easy to be killed, or rather, the Celestial Court still does not wish for them to die. Thus, they were suppressed here.

Meanwhile, Great Yi was exiled here after his act of slaying the Nine Suns Golden Crows, violating the Celestial Court’s higher-ups, becoming a jailer of sorts. Or, the suppressor of this hell!

He was not suppressing hell alone, he was accompanied by a group of powerful beings.

These strong individuals, their descendants, subordinates, or tribesmen, came to this world and proliferated. They are the origins of the humans of this world.

That’s why they would worship the Celestial God.

At a certain moment, a great battle occurred. It’s very likely it was the Annihilation’s great Expeditionary Army; the Celestial Court was destroyed, and this place might have been discovered by the army of Annihilation and they attacked.

Great Yi and the other powerful beings, for some reason, were forced into the Demon Domain.

The suppressors of hell, in turn, became the suppressed prisoners.

The Annihilation’s Expeditionary Army either perished altogether or didn’t have the strength to colonize this place. Anyway, they did not stay.

Then the Demons found this place... taking a big advantage.

"If Yi were still here, such Demons would be shot dead with one arrow!" the Sun Shooting Golden Arrow scoffed, showing disdain for the Demons. Not considering whether Great Yi’s arrow could kill; disdain came first regardless. And asked, "King Tian Ming, how are you planning to deal with the Demons and the invasions of the other two races?"

Tian Ming, surprised by the Golden Arrow’s voice, still spoke: "Now, the Divine Will Battle is about to begin. Our legions will enter the Demon Domain to mount a defense. Divine fighters will carry Divine Artifacts, augmenting their own strength to slay enemies within the domain."

"Have you already determined the candidates?" Li Changhe asked.

"What candidates could there be?" Tian Ming laughed bitterly while shaking his head: "Our three human nations, how many Divine fighters do we have in total? If we really sacrifice six influential strong individuals, how can we continue to live on? Hence, I plan to use three Divine Artifacts at the same time, to give the youth a chance. At the same time, I’m also integrating the citizens into other kingdoms to minimize the damage as much as possible."

"It really seems so familiar as a Yan Huang’s Descendant," Li Changhe sighed lightly. He had seen this situation before, on the Great Wall, within the armies...

This is how the descendants of Yan Huang face death, the transmission of conviction, the continuation of the race, the hope for the future.

Those selfish individuals cannot comprehend this belief and fiercely tarnish it.

They will clamor ’this is inhumane, this is moral coercion’ then comfortably enjoy the peace and benefits brought about by their ancestor’s sacrifices.

This old king, too, has survived because of this conviction, protected by his strong predecessors.

Now, he too stands at the crossroads of that choice.

Likewise prepared to sacrifice himself, to bring hope to the future.

"But now, you don’t have to choose," Li Changhe said with a smile.

"Your Excellency Yang Dong, do you intend... to help us bear the cost?" Tian Ming’s eyes lit up, but then he reminded, "But do you know the cost of the Divine Artifacts? Can the Divinity you believe in protect you from the effects of madness?"

"Don’t worry, I, Li... cough, I, Yang Dong, possess unmatched strength in all the world! The Eternal God!" Li Changhe laughed.

"Then which Divine Artifact do you need? After my companions choose theirs, I can send them over to you. As long as you don’t use them, there is no price to pay."

"Then just..." Li Changhe took out the Old Lead, smiling: "Send them all over!"

And upon his palm, the Old Lead, too, revealed a smile.
