#2357 - I beg the God to save the people of Ningzhou
Jun Wuxie pondered briefly, then put away the map and headed in the direction of the World Capital city.
He didn't plan to go directly to the secret realm for the time being, deciding to take a look at the World Capital first.
Now, although the Hundred Realms Capital had been open for some time.
However, the World Capital, located in Ning Province, was still the main focus for most people.
Those who went to the Hundred Realms Capital were mostly the most brilliant geniuses among the cultivators.
They acquired resources the fastest, grew the fastest, and had already reached the Supreme God Realm, so choosing to go to the Hundred Realms Capital was a normal thing.
However, the vast majority of people did not have the qualifications to go to the Hundred Realms Capital.
If their realm was not high enough, they could only deal with the evil demons of the lowest realm, and could only choose those of very low grade, making it difficult to drop anything good, unable to acquire resources, which would outweigh the benefits.
Moreover, in the Hundred Realms Capital, the most brilliant geniuses from the hundred realms gathered, and accidents could easily happen.
What if they encountered some eccentric, tyrannical, other-worldly arrogant genius who would kick the stones on the roadside twice, and step on the dog shit on the roadside a few times? Wouldn't they be killed for nothing, dropping their exclusive divine artifact?
Although there shouldn't be many such people, as the old saying goes, a large forest has all kinds of birds.
… …
The World Capital was located in the central area of Ning Province, but it was still extremely far from the border.
Jun Wuxie's speed was very fast, and with the blessing of the Swift Wind Shoes and Divine Speed Talisman, he pierced through the air like a meteor all the way.
Even so, it still took him nearly twenty days to reach the World Capital.
One could imagine, if it were someone else, how long would it take to travel such a long distance?
Several months, or even calculated in years.
The World Capital was magnificent and boundless, located on the plains, with only a few small mountains in the surrounding area.
The city was huge, tens of thousands of miles in circumference, and the city walls were as tall as mountains.
The architectural style inside was very ancient, but it was very majestic and grand.
The entire city was filled with the aura of time, giving people a sense of vicissitudes, as if telling people the vicissitudes it had experienced.
Jun Wuxie arrived at the city gate, which was a hundred meters wide, with hundreds of soldiers holding spears standing on both sides.
He took a look and saw that the realm of these gate guards was actually in the early stage of the Eleventh Order.
Their centurion had reached the peak of the Eleventh Order, equivalent to the Great Perfection Ancestral God Realm.
This configuration was a bit powerful.
One had to know that they were just ordinary soldiers of the World Capital.
In this World Capital, the number of such soldiers in the entire Ning Province was astonishing.
However, Jun Wuxie noticed one thing.
Whether it was the ordinary soldiers or the centurions of the World Capital, as well as the generals on the city walls, their firm faces had a hint of paleness.
This paleness was not caused by skin color, but by the loss of blood energy.
They had internal injuries, and they were injuries that were difficult to repair, otherwise, every soldier he saw would not be like this.
Could it be that something big had happened in the World Capital?
Were the evil demons attacking the city?
Jun Wuxie turned to look at the land around the city, but there was no trace of evil demons attacking the city.
He silently entered the city, intending to take a look first.
Along the way, countless pedestrians were hurrying, and occasionally some were walking slowly, talking about different topics in whispers.
Most of them were cultivators.
Sometimes, he could see some natives.
The faces of the natives were the same as those of the soldiers in the city, also in a state of blood energy loss.
He carefully observed and saw that the shop assistants greeting customers at the entrances of the shops on both sides of the street were also like this.
The soldiers patrolling the street were still the same.
"It seems that something big has really happened in this city, all the natives are in such a strange state…"
Jun Wuxie frowned slightly. Not to mention people, even the dogs kept in front of some households were in a state of blood energy loss.
The cultivators were different. The cultivators did not have this state. Most of them were full of energy.
He walked towards the square where the Crystal of Life was located in the center of the city.
The city was very large, so he walked relatively fast, his footsteps shrinking the ground into inches, shuttling through the crowd.
On the huge square, people were bustling and very lively.
At the Crystal of Life, a large number of people were resurrected every moment.
It could be seen how difficult it was for cultivators to acquire resources in such an area, and there was a danger to life if they were not careful.
Of course, there were Substitute Death Talismans in the secret realm. As long as you carried a Substitute Death Talisman, you could be resurrected after death and would not really die.
However, each death would consume a lot of life essence, and the pain of death was the same as in the outside world.
If you died too many times, you would become weak and need to rest for some time before you could recover.
Many cultivators who were resurrected from the Crystal of Life sighed, and some even made heart-wrenching sounds after being resurrected, not knowing what kind of blow they had suffered.
"Damn it, it's getting more and more perverted. If this continues, how can we get any resources!"
"Yes, the days are getting more and more difficult.
Not to mention the difficulty in acquiring resources, this World Capital is also not peaceful. Every month, those two fierce evil demons will come out to devour life essence.
We cultivators are still good, we won't really die, and we won't leave any internal injuries.
The natives are miserable. The continuous loss of life essence has already caused their bodies to have hidden injuries, and their condition is getting worse and worse."
"Do you think that the World Capital will be destroyed because of this?
When the natives can't bear it anymore and all die, where will we buy Substitute Death Talismans?"
"Yes, we can only go to Han Province to buy Substitute Death Talismans.
But if this place is destroyed, and the post station teleportation can no longer be used, that will be a real disaster.
This place is too far from Han Province, and it takes at least a few months for a trip.
In the future, won't we have to spend most of our time on the road?"
… …
The people who came out of the Crystal of Life were discussing, all with worried faces, full of confusion about the future.
Jun Wuxie happened to be here to leave a mark and heard what they were talking about.
There were actually evil demons coming out to devour life essence, and it happened once every month.
No wonder the natives of the World Capital were in such a state.
The army of the World Capital was extremely powerful, with such high realms. Their high-level generals were even more needless to say, they must all be in the Thirteenth Order, equivalent to the Supreme God.
With such a huge legion, defending the city, they couldn't resist two evil demons.
What level of evil demons were they, to have such ferocity?
Jun Wuxie silently walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Arriving in front of the City Lord's Mansion, the two guards with knives in front of him pulled the knives out of their sheaths halfway with a clang. The bright blades reflected a dazzling cold light.
"Halt!
The City Lord's Mansion is an important place, leave quickly!"
The guards with knives were expressionless, staring at him with sharp eyes.
"I'm here to find your City Lord. Tell him, my name is Shi."
"How can the City Lord be seen casually? This is the second time I'm warning you, quickly…"
The guard with the knife stopped suddenly, and then suddenly came to his senses and said: "You said you are Shi? The top of the Glory Title Ranking on the Glory Tablet, the super-god legend of ten years ago, the Promoter of the Era?"
Jun Wuxie nodded slightly, without saying a word.
The guards with knives shuddered and hurriedly sheathed their knives, respectfully saluting, "God Shi, we didn't know it was you who came, please forgive us!
We will report to the City Lord immediately, please wait a moment!"
After the two guards with knives finished speaking, they hurried into the City Lord's Mansion.
The other guards with knives all looked at Jun Wuxie with fiery eyes, their eyes full of curiosity and admiration.
It had been ten years.
This super-god legend had disappeared for ten years.
It was said that he left this world ten years ago, and there had been no news since then.
In these ten years, earth-shattering changes had taken place in the world.
The geniuses from all realms were amazingly talented and refreshed the various lists of the Glory Tablet.
However, only the honor of the top of the Glory Title Ranking had never been refreshed!
The glory title of God Shi had dominated the list for ten years, and no one could compete with it!
The other lists had been surpassed by latecomers because God Shi had withdrawn from this world.
However, the glory title that was killed out by defying the heavens still hung high on the list!
From this, it could be seen that the brilliance of God Shi was unparalleled!
The Glory Title Ranking was the real touchstone, more reliable than the Battle Strength Ranking.
Each title was extremely difficult to obtain.
Especially God Shi's titles such as Defeating Immortals with Weakness, True Martial Dao Super God, Martial Dao Slaying Immortals, Immortal Slayer, Era Promoter, Absolute Immortal Terminator, Origin Pioneer God, and Origin Terminator were all eternal masterpieces!
Ten years had passed, and no one had yet obtained so many supreme honor titles!
"Quick, quickly invite God Shi in!"
Not long after, a trembling voice suppressing excitement came from the City Lord's Mansion.
"God Shi, this is the City Lord's voice, please come in!"
The guards with knives respectfully saluted.
Jun Wuxie stepped in, and before he had gone far, he saw a sixty-year-old man running over in a hurry, his steps somewhat staggering. His beard was a little gray, and his eyes were full of excitement and anticipation, but his face had an undisguisable haggardness and fatigue.
"City Lord, slow down, there's no need to be so anxious."
When Jun Wuxie saw the old man running over, information fed back by Order appeared in his mind, knowing that this was the Lord of Ning Province, the City Lord of the World Capital.
"I didn't know God Shi was coming, this old man was negligent, please forgive me, God Shi!"
The City Lord of the World Capital ran up to him, cupped his hands in greeting, his attitude was very humble, giving him enough respect.
"City Lord, you are too polite."
"God Shi, please come inside."
The expression on the face of the City Lord of the World Capital was somewhat indescribable, and the excitement and expectation in his eyes could not be concealed at all.
They went all the way to the study. After closing the door, he invited Jun Wu Xie to sit down and personally served tea.
“My God, where have you been all these years?”
After Jun Wu Xie took a few sips of tea, the City Lord of the World Capital suddenly sighed, followed by a long sigh.
“Something came up, so I returned to my own world.”
Jun Wu Xie put down his teacup and replied casually.
“We have finally waited for you. If the Original God does not return in another two years, the people of Ning Province will probably have no chance of survival, and this World Capital will be destroyed…”
Speaking of this, the City Lord of the World Capital suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Jun Wu Xie, “I implore the Original God to save the people of my Ning Province!”
“City Lord, please get up first and then tell me what's going on.”
Jun Wu Xie reached out to help him.
“No! This old man will not get up unless the Original God agrees!”
The City Lord of the World Capital looked up at Jun Wu Xie, tears welling up in his old eyes, and said, “This old man knows that this behavior has the suspicion of morally kidnapping the Original God!
But for the sake of the people of my Ning Province, this old man has no choice but to do so!
As long as the Original God is willing to save the people of my Ning Province, this old man is willing to do anything!
From now on, whenever the Original God has any needs, just say a word, and this old man will definitely go through fire and water, and will not hesitate to die a hundred times!”
“Is it about the evil demons devouring life essence?”
“Original God, you already know?”
“When I entered the city, I happened to hear someone talking about this matter at the Crystal of Life, so I learned a general idea.
City Lord, please get up first and tell me about this matter in detail.
Don't worry, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not watch the people of Ning Province face this disaster and ignore it.”
“Okay, this old man will get up, this old man will get up…”
The City Lord of the World Capital was excited when he heard him say this, and half of his hanging heart fell. He immediately got up and sat down again.
“The thing is like this, two years ago, the seal barrier of the Spider Silk Ancient Cave and the White Peak Secret Realm loosened.
The kings inside broke through the seal and devoured the essence of all living beings like crazy.
We mobilized all the legions and powerhouses to fight against them, but we couldn't shake them at all.
They are too powerful, so powerful that it is despairing!
After that, every month, those two evil demons would come out of the secret realm on time to devour the life essence of all living beings.
Over time, we can no longer bear it, and we have suffered internal injuries that are difficult to recover.
If they no longer come out to devour life essence, maybe we can recover in another year and a half.
But they come once a month, which will definitely continue to aggravate our injuries.
If this continues, within two years at most, the native creatures of my Ning Province will lose their life essence and die!”
“In these years, has the City Lord not issued tasks to recruit geniuses from all walks of life to kill those two evil demons?”
“Yes, but they all failed. Later, no one was willing to accept this task at all.
Everyone who enters the secret realm cannot come out alive. Everyone is resurrected from the Crystal of Life and returns. Not to mention the loss of their exclusive artifact, their own blood energy is also greatly depleted, which affects the progress of their training, so no one comes again…”
