Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 930: The Reappearance of Plague Locusts, a Premonition of Disaster
The concept of "punishment" was originally controlled by the Queen Mother of the West.

It is said that the severity of the sky and the five remnants.

That is the most fundamental manifestation of the concept of punishment in heaven and earth.

It is the most ancient force between heaven and earth, the force that defines right and wrong.

Ever since the Queen Mother of the West took control of it, or in other words, made it manifest between heaven and earth, it has been controlled by the Queen Mother of the West, shocking all the immortals and gods between heaven and earth.

This is one of the most powerful forces in the way of conquest, recognized by all the strong men between heaven and earth.

Over an extremely long period of time, many powerful beings between heaven and earth, especially the Daluo, have coveted the power of the Sky and the Five Remnants controlled by the Queen Mother of the West.

But no one can touch the root of this power.

But now, this power that all Daluo had never touched appeared in front of Ao Bing.

This is the power that is one with the rules of heaven.

If we say that the existence of heaven's rules is to draw a line between right and wrong from the perspective of "living beings" between the boundaries of morality and reason.

Then the power of Heaven's Sorrow and the Five Remnants is beyond morality and reason. They do not care about the so-called morality and reason at all. They draw a line between right and wrong in an extremely "ruthless and impartial" way, standing outside of "living things" and falling on the perspective of "heaven and earth".

From this perspective, even Daluo is within the framework of "right and wrong", constrained and restricted by it.

When the Jade Emperor became the Emperor of Heaven, one of the purposes of the West Kunlun lineage in supporting the Jade Emperor was to use the existence of the Jade Emperor and Heaven to expand the concept of "punishment" and help them go further between heaven and earth.

However, in the end, the Jade Emperor still disappointed Xi Kunlun and the Queen Mother of the West.

But Ao Bing's existence is exactly the opposite of the Jade Emperor.

——Not only can the concept of punishment spread to the entire world, but it also gives the entire world a unified measure based on "punishment."

He even took the derivative of "punishment", that is, the rules of heaven, as the foundation of his own power.

That's right.

Although Heavenly Rules and Punishment are mutually reinforcing forces, the connection between them is from top to bottom.

It's not as others think, that the laws of nature determine the punishment - but the other way around.

Punishment came first, and then there were heavenly rules.

The existence of punishment is the fundamental reason why the laws of nature can restrain and intimidate all living beings!

Tracing back from this perspective, the "punishment" corresponding to the Heavenly Severity and the Five Remnants is actually a force of the same level as the "morality" upheld by the Great Purity Daode Tianzun.

Those are the powers that let people know what they can and cannot do.

It’s just that “morality” is a gentle attitude to advise sentient beings, to tell them what they should do, and to let sentient beings do it voluntarily.

And "punishment" is to intimidate all living beings in an extremely majestic manner, to warn all living beings that they are not allowed to do such and such. It is to force all living beings not to do such and such.

The power of the two complements each other, but there is an extremely clear boundary between them.

One responds to living beings, and the other responds to heaven and earth.

The existence of heavenly rules is exactly what is manifested within this boundary.

It adheres to both 'morality' and 'punishment'.

To harmonize morality and punishment, and to bring living beings and heaven and earth into one.

In addition, this was not the first time that Ao Bing came into contact with the power of "punishment".

In this Yuantian, the power of the heavenly rules that he upholds is even more in line with the concept of "punishment" than the power he controls in Pantian.

Therefore, in this Yuantian, Ao Bing's ability to mobilize the power of punishment will be more successful!

Ao Bing's thoughts flowed among the filth of heaven and earth in the human world.

His thoughts also jumped in it.

The evil fire that continued within the human nature, using the filth of heaven and earth as its 'dye', which wanted to burn everything to ashes, was also 'ignited' in advance by Ao Bing.

"Come."

"Let those immortals and gods, let those Daluo know the horror that comes from humanity."

Under Ao Bing's guidance, the 'structure' of the ancient plague locusts that had once manifested in Pan Tian appeared in the filth of heaven and earth.

The sinful fire of humanity is the inside, and the filth of heaven and earth is the outside.

One after another, the ancient plague locusts "crawled out" from the filth of heaven and earth and fell onto the earth.

This is the ultimate embodiment of "punishment", symbolizing the ultimate evolution of punishment.

That is to say, a disaster that destroys everything!
Wood disaster.

Disaster of life.

Ancient plague locust.

It is a terrifying existence that manifested itself from wood, but wants to completely devour all wood and all life.

When the structure of the ancient plague locust was revealed, all the creatures between heaven and earth that had come into contact with the existence of the Tao - whether they were Qi cultivators or mortals, all clearly heard the terrifying sharp sound made by the plague locust's wings.

Above the eastern sky, the Azure Dragon appeared, lowered its eyes to the earth, and uttered an incomparably long and sad cry.

The numerous stars in the east carried by the Azure Dragon constellation also became dim at this moment.

The eternally motionless star paths in which the stars revolve seem to have slightly deviated at this moment.

"Tianzun, what happened?"

The stars in the east, led by the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon, bowed down to the stars one after another, attracting the shadow of the Azure Dragon.

At this moment, the hearts of those many star gods were filled with incomparable fear.

Among the ranks of immortals and gods, the Star Lord is an extremely special existence!
Although they are not Daluo, they enjoy, to a certain extent, the treatment that only Daluo can enjoy - no killing calamity will befall them.

Ever since the emergence of the Heavenly Court, the enemies of the Star Gods have not been the various killing disasters that manifested between heaven and earth, but the Star Gods themselves - other Star Gods, and other powerful people who wanted to seize the position of Star God.

Therefore, what the Star Lords have to face are just people, not "forces".

In the countless tens of thousands of years that have passed, the Star Gods stood above the starry sky, overlooking the many changes in the human world, overlooking the beginning and end of the killing disasters again and again, but they were never affected by those killing disasters, nor did they worry that the killing disasters would spread to them.

But at this time...

When the Azure Dragon lowered its head, all the star gods sensed the change in the situation and the change in the star tracks.

This is a change they have never experienced in the past!

"Has the killing disaster in the human world spread to the stars?"

At this moment, inexplicable uneasiness and fear emerged in the hearts of these star gods. Because they had never experienced the changes of the killing calamity, before this killing calamity came, these star gods became more and more at a loss.

——If they wanted to fight with someone, these Star Lords would naturally be able to capture them easily. However, the killing calamity that enveloped the entire heaven and earth, the killing calamity that involved many Daluo, the killing calamity in which many Daluo fought for the sainthood with all kinds of unpredictable means...how could this be dealt with simply by fighting?
Looking at the manifested shadow of the Azure Dragon, the embodiment of justice, a feeling of uneasiness emerged on the face of every Star Lord.

"Tianzun, what kind of changes have taken place in the human world?"

"Why is it that even this eternal and motionless star track is affected?"

"Is this star track really eternal and motionless?"

"If I remember correctly, didn't the star tracks change once in the ancient times?"

As Qinglong spoke, the wind that came out of his mouth also carried that incomparable vitality. It dropped from the starry sky, and then went to every corner of heaven and earth, stirring the vitality of every corner of heaven and earth.

——However, the vitality that had been so gentle in the past, after falling on the earth and merging with the earth, suddenly became extremely restless.

It was as if the earth began to reject everything that came from the stars.

However, none of the Star Lords who had triggered the Azure Dragon's phantom cared about the restless vitality...

The words from Qinglong echoed in the minds of all the star gods.

Didn’t the star orbits also change in ancient times?

After saying this, even the ruler of Taiyin, who was also a Daluo, manifested his thoughts in front of Qinglong.

There were also those Daluo incarnations in Lingxiao Palace who had gathered because of the discussion on supplementing the Heavenly Rules, but were quite 'at a loss' because many Daluo in Daluo Heaven had returned to heaven and earth in the form of reincarnation and stepped into the human world. At this moment, they no longer cared about the matter of supplementing the Heavenly Rules.

"Qinglong Tianzun, do you really know what you are talking about?"

Emperor Cang Tian directly exerted his great power to make the figure of Qinglong Tianzun appear in the Lingxiao Palace and in front of the eyes of all the gods.

The last time the star orbits changed - people who had not experienced that change were unaware of this major change.

But those who have experienced that change know what a terrifying change it is.

The end of the Lich King, the final battle between the two who adhered to their own correct principles and had no choice but to advance.

The heaven and earth were almost destroyed.

The Zhou Mountain, which supported the heaven and earth, collapsed as a result, and turned into the Buzhou Mountain.

The great circulation of water between heaven and earth was completely disrupted.

The terrifying ocean washed away every corner between heaven and earth.

All living things between heaven and earth were submerged in the vast ocean.

That was the first and only time that a 'disaster' that actually went beyond the changes of 'calamity' appeared between heaven and earth!
Under the sweeping vast ocean, even the Daluo seemed extremely powerless - they could only ensure that they would not be drowned by the ocean, but it was difficult for them to protect other living beings.

The weak water, which is so heavy that even a flying feather cannot float on it, is already a terrifying existence between heaven and earth.

However, when the Zhou mountains collapsed and the heaven and earth were destroyed, the flood that poured out and washed away everything - every drop of water in the flood had the nature of weak water!

The eternally motionless star tracks also underwent a change at that time.

After all, at that time, even the heaven and earth seemed to be destroyed. How could the star tracks that relied on the heaven and earth not change?

After Queen Nuwa repaired the sky, she raised the flood and turned it into a river in the sky. After the flood ended, the star tracks returned to stability - until now, there has been no change.

The changes mentioned here do not mean that they are eternal and unchanging, and no changes have ever occurred.

But the movement and changes of the star tracks are all traceable and follow the laws.

But now...

The star tracks once again showed a trend of change.

However, between heaven and earth, all the immortals and gods, including those Daluo, have not grasped the tendency of the star orbit changes.

"What is going on with this change in star tracks?"

“Please tell me in detail, Lord?” The Emperor of Heaven looked at the green dragon with its tail reaching high into the sky and its head hanging on the ground, and bowed slightly.

"Could it be that something as drastic as the flood is brewing between heaven and earth?"

"And what was the source of that heart-pounding sound just now?"

As Emperor Cang Tian spoke, some unnatural expressions appeared on the faces of the other Daluo.

Anyone who has experienced that flood once would never want to experience it again.

If it corresponds to a flood, the precursor to the flood is Gonggong's loss of control.

So what does that heart-pounding sharp sound just now correspond to?

"Your Majesty, this calamity is a change in the fortunes of the Saint Struggle, comparable to a flood, or even more so, isn't it natural?"

Qinglong Tianzun looked at the Emperor Cangtian and the other Daluo in front of him, but his eyes were as if it was a matter of course and he didn't think it was strange at all.

……

"Ancient Plague Locust!"

On earth, Sun Wu, who was still a teenager, listened attentively to the terrifying sharp sound of the flapping wings, and his expression suddenly changed.

It would be fine if Yuantian, the immortal god, didn’t know the symbol of the sharp sound.

How could they, the disciples who had Pan Tian's memories, forget the symbol of sharp sound?

Ancient plague locust!
After the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the First Emperor unified the world and, with supreme courage, reshaped the legacy of the Emperor of Man.

At that time, although King Cheng’s army mobilized the remnants of the six kingdoms and tried to destroy Qin’s national destiny - however, even if the six kingdoms were remnants, they could not shake the vitality of the Qin Empire at all.

So, how did the terrifying Qin Empire fall?
Apart from the fact that Ao Bing personally killed the First Emperor, the more important reason was the horrific locust plague that swept across the land.

That evil thing symbolizes disaster.

Under the sweeping of the ancient plague locusts, all wood fruits - whether they were flowers, plants, and grains in the mortal world, or the spiritual roots and species of immortals and gods - all turned into nothing in the passing of the plague locusts.

The accumulation of tens of thousands of years of the nobility of the human world and the immortal sect's Taoist traditions completely turned into nothingness when the locusts flew over.

Even those immortals and gods, their bodies will be affected by the plague locusts...

The army that was invincible and made even the mighty Heaven bow its head to it, also disappeared into thin air.

Under such circumstances, Qin, which unified the eight wildernesses, reunited the human race, suppressed countless immortals and gods in the world, and united the heritage of the six countries and those immortal sects, collapsed suddenly.

And now, this ancient plague locust has manifested itself in this Yuantian!
