Chapter 867: Chaos of Everything
Li Yangruo realized something: "So the Chaos Cult said they want to return to the origin..."
"Just to bring the world back to that state?"
Changsheng nodded: "This is probably their ultimate goal."
"But the question is..." she frowned, "why now?"
"Why did you choose this time to reveal your identity?"
"Because the time has come."
A voice suddenly sounded. Everyone turned around and saw Yan Yue walking from outside the cave.
"What time?" Li Yang asked.
Yanyue sat down by the campfire:
"Have you ever heard of 'Astral Reorganization'?"
Seeing everyone shaking their heads, she continued to explain:
"According to ancient records, every ten thousand years, a large-scale reorganization of the star realm will occur."
"During reorganization, the barriers between dimensions become extremely fragile."
"The current situation..." She looked up at the sky outside the cave, "it is very similar to what was rumored."
"So the cult chose to act at this time..." Changsheng suddenly realized,
"Is it because it is easiest to break the dimensional barrier now?"
"That's right." Yan Yue nodded, "Although I don't know the reason, they are obviously very successful."
"Now that the barriers between the various planes have been broken, if we can't find a way to merge them...the final consequences may be..."
She did not continue speaking, but everyone present already knew it.
At this moment, Li Yan also ran in from outside:
"There's a situation, everyone!"
"What's wrong?" everyone asked.
"Over in Daxia, Xia Yuan and the others just sent news."
Li Yan gasped and said,
"On the north side, the cracks that were finally stabilized have become loose again."
"What?" Yan Yue frowned and muttered, "So soon..."
Li Yang stood up: "What is the specific situation?"
"According to the scout report," Li Yan said, "last night when the blood moon was in the sky, the northern seal suddenly moved."
"A large amount of chaotic power seeped out from the cracks, causing all creatures within a hundred miles to begin to mutate."
"Right now, we can only rush over there first." Yan Yue sighed,
"If this continues, the entire northern region of Daxia will suffer."
Li Yang nodded: "Let's go now."
"Wait a moment..." Changsheng said suddenly, "Do you think... this is too coincidental?"
"What's the meaning?"
Changsheng murmured:
"We just met the Chaos Order yesterday, and today the northern seal has become loose."
"Could it be a trap?"
Everyone was stunned.
Indeed, the timing of this incident was too coincidental.
"In this case...even if it's a trap, we have to fall for it."
Li Yang shrugged, "We can't just sit idly by."
Changsheng nodded: "I agree. But we have to be more careful."
"In that case..." Li Yan took out a map from his arms, "I suggest we split into two directions."
"Go directly to the seal, taking a detour to avoid being ambushed."
Everyone studied the terrain and quickly made a plan.
Li Yang and Changsheng took the main road on the ground and went straight to the seal.
Yan Yue and Li Yan took the mountain road and outflanked them to respond.
...
At the same time, the northern seal office.
A figure stood on the cliff, looking down at the power of chaos surging below.
Black mist filled the valley. Wherever it passed, the vegetation withered and birds fell.
"Are you here?" he whispered to himself.
Behind him, a member of the sect knelt on one knee: "Let me tell you, sir, they have already set off."
"Very good." The man turned around and showed his deacon's face, "Everything is going according to plan."
"It's time..." He cast his gaze into the distance, "It's time for this world to see true chaos."
...
Li Yang and his party worked hard and finally arrived at the important town in the north in the evening.
However, what awaited them was a mess.
The streets are deserted and the houses are crumbling.
The ground was covered with a layer of strange black slime, exuding a rotten atmosphere.
"Where are the people here?" Changsheng looked around.
Li Yang knelt down and looked at the traces on the ground: "There are traces of fighting, but..."
He frowned: "There is no blood."
"Those people..." Changsheng suddenly took a breath of air, "could it be..."
Before he finished speaking, a low roar came from a distance.
Everyone heard the news and went out, only to see a group of twisted monsters wandering at the end of the street.
They have human outlines, but their skin has turned completely pitch black.
Various unexpected organs and tentacles also sprouted from his body.
"Sure enough..." Chang Sheng gritted his teeth, "They are the residents of the town."
"Polluted by the power of chaos, it became alienated into this appearance."
Li Yang held the mountain spirit staff tightly: "Just do it, it will be even more troublesome if it spreads."
As soon as they finished speaking, the group of monsters seemed to be aware of their presence.
They all turned their heads, revealing a ferocious face full of fangs.
However, at this critical moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded:
"As expected of God's chosen one..."
The figure of the deacon emerged from the void.
"I found this place so quickly."
Li Yang raised the mountain spirit staff and pointed it at him: "Is it your fault?"
The deacon chuckled: "It's just a small experiment."
"I want to see how humans will react when facing chaos."
"You..." Li Yang was about to explode, but was stopped by Changsheng.
"Wait." She stared at the deacon, "What are you testing?"
The deacon showed an approving look:
"Smart, worthy of being a demon in the Wuxiang world."
"Yes, this is indeed a test."
"And the purpose of the test..."
He paused for a moment.
Then, his sharp eyes swept over Li Yang,
"Can the so-called inheritor of divine power truly understand the nature of chaos?"
As he said, he snapped his fingers.
The alienated residents suddenly stopped their movements and all knelt on the ground.
"The choice is yours." The deacon said, "Choose to destroy them..."
"Or try to save them?"
"Of course..." He smiled meaningfully, "You can also choose to do nothing."
"Let them struggle in pain until they are completely swallowed by chaos."
"Is this your purpose?" Li Yang said coldly, "To play with people's hearts at this time?"
The deacon shook his head: "You are wrong."
"We are not playing with people's hearts..."
"We are showing the truth to the world."
"When chaos comes, the so-called morality, faith, order..."
"These principles on which humans rely for survival will become meaningless. . "
"By then..." His voice suddenly became deep,
"How will you choose?"
Li Yang clenched the Mountain Spirit Staff, a cold light flashed in his eyes:
"In your eyes, these innocent lives are just tools to prove themselves? "
The deacon disagreed:
"Life? Innocence? "
"What is the meaning of these words in the face of chaos? "
"All things originate from chaos and will eventually return to chaos. "
"We are just accelerating this inevitable process. "
Changsheng stepped forward:
"So this is how you convince yourself? "
"Use the so-called inevitability to cover up the distortion in your heart? "
The deacon opposite did not answer.
Instead, he suddenly grinned, leaving a faint smile of satisfaction.
