Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 1349 The Cruelest Deal

........................

"Yes. Heaven and Hell do exist, but their real names are Heaven's Edge and Hell's Forest."

In order to open the passage to the Black Sea Prison, the Black Sin Peacock Benxijun confessed the secret of Nihai Chongfan to the Demon Buddha Wisdom Body Mida and the Evil Body Yanda.

Hearing these two unfamiliar names, Mida said with hesitation: "Heavenly Border... Forest Prison..."

Benxiong-kun told the information he knew, "Among them, the Forest Prison, also known as the Black Sea Prison, is a huge underground world hidden under the Black Sea. Long ago, it was connected to the human world. Due to an unknown change, the passage between the Forest Prison and the human world was destroyed. Nihai Chongfan's goal is to reconnect the two realms."

After listening to Benxijun's description, Mi Da speculated: "Let me guess, to connect the two realms, human lives must be sacrificed."

As the intelligent body of the devil Buddha, Mida is extremely intelligent.

However, since his debut, he has either met outstanding people like Su Huanzhen or cheat masters like Shaoyang Jun, which is why he has been repeatedly defeated.

Benxijun had no intention of hiding anything, so he nodded and admitted, "The Demon Buddha's prediction was correct. I wanted to gather enough believers when the dark night of the mortal world fell, and use their lives to open the road from the mortal world to the Black Sea Prison. Now, with the interference of the Heavenly Dynasty, I am afraid that it will be ineffective."

Mida asked directly: "How many people do you need to sacrifice in order to open the passage to the Black Sea Prison?"

As the allied Holy Church retreated and the fighting power of the Desire Realm declined, Mida had to consider relying on external forces.

Benxijun said a shocking number, "Three hundred thousand."

"What!? Three hundred thousand!?"

When Yan Da heard that Ben Xijun was going to sacrifice 300,000 people in the Desire Realm just to open the passage between the human world and the Black Sea Prison, he immediately flew into a rage and said, "Mida, I have said long ago that Ben Xijun had bad intentions since he joined the Desire Realm. Now, he has finally revealed his true purpose. Mida, what are you waiting for?"

Compared to Yan Da's anger, Mida fell into deep thought.

For Mida, exchanging 300,000 tribesmen from the Desire Realm to open the passage between the human world and the hell was just a matter of raising his hand.

What really made Mida ponder was a question, a question he had been avoiding since Asun came back to the world.

Then let's face the world today where dynasties coexist. In the desire realm without the power of Mara, it is impossible to dominate the world.

Three hundred thousand people may seem like a lot, but compared to the giants that rule the world, they are just a drop in the ocean.

Since the three realms of suffering, accumulation and extinction merged into one, and the realms of death, the four realms of hell were incorporated one after another, the human world entered an unprecedented period of development.

This already blessed land has become more abundant than ever before after being integrated with other realms.

Under the rule of various dynasties, the population growth rate reached an unprecedented level.

Not to mention comparing the Desire Realm with the Ziyao Dynasty, which rules over the most densely populated world, I'm afraid it's even inferior to the Yintian Dynasty which has just risen.

The sacrifice of three hundred thousand people was a huge blow to the Desire Realm.

But to the Ziyao Dynasty, it is just the population of a remote small town.

According to the intelligence collected and reported back over the years by the secret agents lurking in various places in the Desire Realm, the potential for establishing dynasties and countries such as the Zi Yao Tian Dynasty, the Miao Jiang Royal Court, and the Yu Yu Imperial Dynasty has long surpassed that of the Desire Realm.

This means that once they start moving, the potential they unleash will be astonishing.

Just take the conquests during this period as evidence, just to deal with the Heavenly Buddha’s hometown, almost all the combat power of the Desire Realm was mobilized.

The Ziyao Dynasty only used diplomatic means to inflict heavy casualties on the Desire Realm. If a war really breaks out, how deep will the foundation of the Ziyao Dynasty, which has been devoted to cultivating talents for many years, be?

At this point, Mida had to admit that after leaving the Desire Realm of the Demon Buddha Mara, he was completely vulnerable.

But Nüya (Ji Wuxia)'s character changed drastically and she could no longer agree with everyone else.

With only one chance of the arrival of Po Xun, it is impossible to deal with a behemoth like the Zi Yao Dynasty.

In order to plan for the future of the Desire Realm, Mida had to reconsider his strategy.

"Mida, why don't you give the order yet? What are you waiting for?"

Yan Da's urging voice brought Mida back from his thoughts.

Mi Da looked at Ben Xijun very seriously, and said word by word in a very cold tone: "The Desire Realm can contribute 300,000 troops to open the passage between the human world and the Black Sea Prison. But as a condition of the transaction, in addition to you Ni Hai Chong Fan being obedient to my Desire Realm, the Black Sea Prison you mentioned must worship my Desire Realm as the state religion and fully believe in the demon Buddha Po Xun."

Yan Da, who was standing by, was so shocked by Mida's request that he was speechless for a moment, "Mida, you..."
-
The dark night falls on the earth, and the evil spirits that have been lurking for a long time rise up, intending to use the power of darkness to invade the human territory and dominate the world during the hundred years when Zhengyang disappears.

The dark forces that had been lurking in the sun, such as the corpse clan, the goblin clan, the bloodthirsty clan, etc., have emerged one after another to cause trouble.

Fortunately, as soon as these evil creatures appeared, they were immediately extinguished by the Zi Yao Tian Dynasty army that had been waiting for a long time, without causing any waves.

What really makes the Celestial Empire feel troubled is the food problem caused by the inability to grow many crops after the dark night falls on the mortal world, as well as the problem of life and death uncertainty among the people in various places.

The dark night of the mortal world not only obscured the three lights, but also brought chaos to the time sequence in all parts of the Central Plains under its cover.

Pregnant women are unable to give birth, and elderly people who should have died are living like the living dead. The boundary between life and death is disrupted.

As for the food problem, the Celestial Empire relied on the grain reserves over the years, which were distributed to the people by local governments. Even if there was no farming, the people could last for three years.

Long before, Tianchaobian vigorously promoted the planting of crops that can grow in a cool and humid environment and do not rely on light.

It would only take one year for China to regain its former food self-sufficiency.

As for the problem of disordered time sequence caused by the uncertainty of life and death, the Celestial Empire dispatched troops specially trained in magic to various places to purify the black clouds in an area so that the time sequence within that range could return to normal, allowing pregnant women to give birth and the dead to rest in peace.

However, due to the vast territory and dense population under the jurisdiction of the Celestial Empire, it was inevitably unable to take into account both.

To completely eliminate darkness, we need to break through the dark night of the world.

To this end, Tianchao vigorously searches for the legendary three meridians of heaven, earth and man.

But the more serious problem is that Ni Hai Chong Fan took advantage of the situation.

Thanks to the unremitting efforts of the Ziyao Dynasty over the years to establish official schools and enlighten the people.

After seeing Ni Hai Chongfan's followers trying to spread his doctrine, most of the people immediately notified the government as stated in the announcement and arrested this group of people.

What's worse, they simply picked up sticks, axes and shovels, tied up the believers who wanted to spread the Nihai Chongfan doctrine, and sent them to the government.

Even so, in the dark night of the mortal world, there is still a small number of people who are bewitched by the so-called miracles displayed by Ni Hai Chong Fan and join Ni Hai Chong Fan.
