Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 2119 This is a life-and-death conflict

"Fellow Daoist, please stay!" Facing Lan Nuo who was about to enter the underground shelter and direct the further construction of the underground, the Ma family envoy took the lead and called out. Although it was not exactly this sentence, it was almost the same meaning.

Lan Nuo obviously had no way to embarrass the envoy of peaceful exchange, so he couldn't stop.

"What brings you here, envoy? We have limited time for construction. Winter is coming. I'm afraid we can't spare much time and manpower to receive the envoy."

The Ma family envoy nodded and shook his head: "That's wrong. You have such ability, why do you stay here? If you can join the Ma family, we will definitely treat you as a senior official. Isn't it much more refreshing than digging tunnels here with your face facing the loess and your back facing the sky? Why are you doing this?"

After the Ma family's envoys persuaded many people, many people around Lan Nuo started to get excited. It seemed that now that their strength had improved to this point, it might not be a bad thing to find a golden family to join.

"Leader, if we join the Ma family, we can enter the royal palace as long as we help them win the final victory. It is said that it is spring-like all year round there, and we can easily survive the severe winter. Isn't it much easier than building a shelter underground?

You know, in order to survive the severe winter, we have to kill at least hundreds of thousands of war horses as our food reserves and reduce their food consumption in the underground shelters during the winter. Even though our family business has grown a lot now, this is an unacceptable loss. But if we enter the Royal Court Paradise, there is almost inexhaustible grassland there, which can definitely feed all our herds. "

Lan Nuo shook his head: "You are wrong. The beasts cannot be brought into the Royal Court Blessed Land. But even so, you are right. It is indeed easier to survive in the Royal Court Blessed Land than here. But this is not a reason for us to live in disgrace. I am a man of my words. When we swore an oath together, I said that I would bring everyone to survive together. Then I will do my best to ensure that most people can survive.

Now we do have the ability to join the Ma family, but can everyone really get the same treatment as us managers?

Wouldn't the huge lower class we have gathered be used as cannon fodder and consumed on the battlefield? Can you really go against the oath you made before? At the cost of betraying the tribesmen who once trusted us, dye our hats and feathers red, and step on their corpses as the stepping stone for our promotion? I cannot accept this kind of betrayal.

In fact, I can understand why no one has ever successfully built a shelter in history. I guess they were also shaken by the good advice of the Golden Family in history. How many people can put conscience first in the face of wealth and glory? It's not your relatives and friends who are betrayed. It must be easy to deceive them by comforting yourself in your heart that this is a necessary sacrifice.

But I am stubborn. I just want to try what others have failed to do. Since there is a way for everyone to survive, and since as long as everyone is united, we can avoid a battle royale-style killing each other, then I must try this way of survival for everyone.

Moreover…if the shelter is successfully built, it will not only be used by our generation in the future, but also by the next generation 10 years later. We will continue to expand the shelter. We will expand the underground structure to be large enough to accommodate all the people in Beiyuan and spend the winter together. What a great and magnificent undertaking this will be.”

The messenger's face was stiff. He had thought that Lan Nuo might be a reckless tyrant, a young boy who was ignorant of the ways of the world, or a scheming and ambitious person. He knew how to deal with these people. But he didn't expect that he was actually seeing an idealist who was almost self-sacrificing.

People who have their own dreams and goals and can walk on this path unswervingly are the most difficult to deal with. Any benefits and promises that conflict with their path will not tempt them at all.

The messenger had seen that some people around him were already tempted, but according to the intelligence he had obtained before, it was meaningless to persuade them. So far, Yuan Lanri had been trying hard to teach others the battle formation. But still no one had learned it. Even if a few people joined together to perform it, the power was far from what he could perform personally.

It can be said that among this group of grassroots people, the only one who is valuable is Yuan Lanri. Even if he persuaded others to join the King's Court Battle, it would only be equivalent to persuading a bunch of cannon fodder. And facing the once-in-a-decade blizzard, the last thing the King's Court Battle lacks is cannon fodder.

"Mr. Envoy, please go back! Since I rejected you, I will also reject other envoys from the Golden Family. So you don't have to worry about seeing us among the enemies. We are just a group of people who want to survive this apocalyptic blizzard."

The messenger shook his head and sighed, "It's not easy to remain neutral. There are more than one person in history who wanted to do the same as you. But no one succeeded. Everyone who did so thought they were special and could make history. But in the end, they were either wiped out or became part of the War of the King's Court. Although you rejected me, I still want to give you a piece of advice. Choose a Golden Family to join as soon as possible. Otherwise, the bigger you become, the greater the danger you will face."

After the messenger left, the construction site was filled with an uneasy atmosphere. Some senior officials who knew about this matter began to worry about whether the Golden Family would attack. Relatively speaking, those who were weaker and could only go with the flow in the doomsday disaster that happened once every ten years did not care. They just wanted to survive, and they would follow whoever could take them to survive.

Lan Nuo looked at the direction where the messenger left and shook his head. He knew very well that the next battle was inevitable. Because the blizzard that occurred once every ten years was actually a kind of population screening, and this screening had lasted for tens of thousands of years and would almost never stop in the future.

Some people say that Ghost Demon Venerable is the Venerable who has killed the most people in history. He is the strongest soul master. Cultivation requires killing people to refine souls. When he cultivated to the Venerable realm, he almost slaughtered a generation of people. The number of people he killed personally may be more than the other nine Venerables combined. But if the people killed directly and indirectly are counted, the number of murders committed by Ghost Demon Venerable may not even be a fraction of that of someone else. That person is Giant Sun Immortal Venerable.

The blizzard that occurs once every ten years was actually arranged by him. Why is it once every ten years? Why is the time so precise? That's because in the blessed land of Dongtian, there is a natural disaster every ten years, and this blizzard that is drifting over the northern plains is the natural disaster that occurs once every ten years. In order to ensure that the blessed land of Wangting can exist almost forever, the Immortal Juyang used a special formation to transfer the natural disaster. Transferred it outside the blessed land of Wangting. In this way, no matter how violent the wind and snow are, they cannot harm this blessed land. Even if it is a natural disaster that occurs once every hundred years, it is just to make this grassland experience an ecological cleansing.

But this is undoubtedly a disaster for the people living on this grassland. What they are facing is not a natural disaster at all, but a natural disaster targeting immortals. How can ordinary means resist this? Even if it is diluted to the entire Northern Plains, such a storm is deadly enough.

In addition, this storm has another purpose. That is to collect treasures on the North Plain. Various precious Gu worms, even Immortal Gu, will be absorbed in the process and sucked into the 88-cornered Zhenyang Tower in the Royal Court, becoming one of the treasures stored there.

This is only the second purpose of the blizzard that occurs once every ten years. The third purpose is to allow the War of the King's Court to continue. It is stipulated that only the Golden Family and the people they lead can enter the King's Court. In this way, other forces that rise on the grassland have to rely on the Golden Family to exist. In the War of the King's Court, they are constantly consumed as cannon fodder.

The so-called Golden Family is the direct bloodline of the Juyang Immortal. As an extremely protective Juyang Immortal who attaches great importance to his descendants, even after his death, he hopes that his bloodline will become the eternal protagonist of Beiyuan. Even if his descendants kill each other in the future, they must let the meat rot in the pot and outsiders cannot have a sip of soup.

So round after round of battles in the royal courts were actually the purification of blood. Only the golden family with the purest blood could survive.

At the same time, it was precisely such wars that forced the members of the Golden Family to become stronger in the wars, and the strong conquered the weak. Under the pressure of either conquering others or being enslaved by others, the Golden Family would not gradually become corrupt because they were always in a superior position. Instead, many strong men were born in the battles of the Royal Court again and again, and they were promoted to immortals, firmly grasping this power, and continuing their bloodline for countless tens of thousands of years. In the face of such ruthless massacres, the mortals on the North Plains were grateful. Because in the legends they heard, the blizzard was not created by the Giant Sun Immortal Venerable himself. They only thought that this was a natural disaster that occurred once every 10 years on the barren North Plains. After all, it had lasted for tens of thousands of years, and no one had remembered its origin. The Royal Court Blessed Land was an eternal shelter created by the Giant Sun Immortal Venerable who personally subdued a land spirit and forcibly sealed it. Although the number of people it could shelter was limited, it was like Noah's Ark. But in the eyes of ordinary people, such shelter is simply immeasurable merit. Even if it is not their turn, they should be grateful for the existence of such shelter, which allows their ancestors to have the opportunity to survive and gives them the opportunity to appear in this world.

So far, no mortal in Beiyuan has seen through this lie, and the ones who really know the truth are all vested interests, and it is even less likely that they will reveal all the truth.

Lan Nuo continued to dig the shelter on his own. It was because he knew the truth that he was sure that the conflict between him and the Golden Family in the future was inevitable. There was a conflict of fundamental interests between the two sides. In fact, it was not a relationship between a neutral party and a group of heroes fighting each other. It was a life-and-death relationship between them.

It seems that the heroes need to decide the winner in the battle royale, but in fact, they are a group of people. Every 10 years, they fight and kill each other, but most of the people who can enter the royal palace alive are their own people. Even the losers, after surrendering, most of them can survive this battle royale. The most dead are these low-level mortals.

This is very similar to the Investiture of the Gods. Even if a general with a name and surname dies, a little of his true spirit will fly to the Investiture of the Gods. Although being on the Investiture of the Gods is not necessarily a good thing, he may be enslaved for the rest of his life. But in comparison, ordinary soldiers in such a war, if they die, they are dead. If they die, they will be reduced to ashes. Being able to be deified on the Investiture of the Gods is probably something they can't even dream of.

And the once-in-10-year war in the royal court is like a story of conferring the gods. No matter how fiercely the Golden Family fights, they are the only ones who can be included in the list of gods in the end.

Lan Nuo built a refuge outside the Royal Court Blessed Land, seemingly to save all living beings, but in fact it destroyed the plan of Juyang Immortal Venerable. For tens of thousands of years, the blizzard created by Juyang Immortal Venerable has killed countless people. In comparison, the Ghost Demon Venerable, who is known to have killed the most people, is as pure as a baby in front of him.

The purpose of his arrangement of all this was to allow his descendants to pass down the throne from generation to generation and sit on the throne of Beiyuan forever. In a way, he had similar ambitions to the Great Dream Immortal Venerable who was chased and beaten by Lan Nuo in his previous life. And he almost succeeded.

But in the end, history proves that the one who sits on the throne will eventually be pushed down, and there is no such thing as an empire that lasts forever. Even if there is no Lan Nuo, in the future, the immortals in Zhongzhou will expose the actions of the Giant Sun Immortal Venerable and make his series of plans go to waste.

And what Lan Nuo did now was actually equivalent to destroying his plan in advance. If there really was a shelter large enough to accommodate many people, even if the living conditions there were relatively difficult, countless people would flock there in order to survive.

The Royal Court Blessed Land would only allow the Golden Family, who won the Royal Court War, to lead their clansmen to enter. For mortals, there was little hope. But those caves that looked rustic and built underground like rat holes seemed to be specially prepared for them, allowing mortals to enter and recuperate.

Then, generation after generation, there will be more and more people without the blood of the Golden Family, and heroes will gradually be born among them. Over time, the ruling structure of Beiyuan will fundamentally change. By then, the plan of Juyang Xianzun will be defeated. And to prevent all this from happening, we must prevent the first one. A sufficiently solid shelter from being built.
