Destiny is ashes

Chapter 1144 Brother, watch my moves!

This guard truly believed it; there was no exaggeration in his words.

That's why it makes people angry.

Cang Linzu took a deep breath, feeling even a little dizzy: "Am I crazy or has the world gone crazy? What are you talking about? Is this still the human world?"

In that instant, Cang Linzu even began to deeply doubt whether he had actually escaped from Xuanming Manor back then, whether he had survived—otherwise, how could he have seen such things that did not belong to the mortal world, and heard such words that did not belong to humans?

"If I could, I'd want to be transformed into a woman. At least then I'd have a chance to rise to the top in one step. Why suffer in this world!"

Meanwhile, the guard continued to spout nonsense. Of course, to him, it might just be the truth: "After a lifetime of struggle, I'm still just a low-level guard. In the end, I'll just be killed by people like you at will. Rather than die at the hands of a nobleman, I'd rather die at the hands of a nobleman. At least I can enjoy myself for a few more days!"

At this point, he laughed maniacally, and the guard was no longer afraid: "Kill me, go ahead and kill me! I've figured it out, a good death is worse than a miserable life. You can play around in this world yourselves!"

"You're not even human anymore!"

Canglinzu had never heard such spineless, unambitious, and utterly inhuman nonsense. He even regretted that he could understand the meaning behind the man's words; they were simply an insult to his ears. He roared and crushed the guard's head, then stood up, smashed through the wall, and arrived at room number one.

There are many jade slips piled up here, containing the original data of numerous puppets and spirits. They will be given to the scions of noble families to choose from in the future, just like choosing their favorite jewelry. Naturally, this can also be considered as evidence.

Canglinzu quickly put all the jade slips into the Taixu magic artifact.

Of course, he actually knew that too.

These so-called 'evidence'... are completely useless.

The great families of Shenjing were naturally the four families who once conquered the world alongside the Holy Ancestor. These families were more like the foundation of the imperial dynasty than true families; their very existence was the cornerstone of the empire. Just like many members of the Song family, who still hold various important positions in the Heavenly Sea Array, because the Song family's ancestors transformed everything they had into the core cornerstone of the Heavenly Sea Array, sacrificing themselves to pave the way for their descendants to build an empire that would last for tens of thousands of years.

The Yuan family was the same. In the final battle of the Imperial Divine Court, part of the geomantic vein center of the Northern Profound Sacrifice Continent, where the Divine Capital was located, was destroyed. It was the Yuan family ancestor who used the power of Lingxiao to directly relocate the Yuan family's ancestral land, which had been built up over 70,000 years and was a blessed land formed after the fall of generations of Yuan family experts, and integrated it into the geomantic vein of the Divine Capital. By using human intervention to mend the heavens, the gap in the geomantic vein was filled, which is why the Divine Capital could be called the Divine Capital.

The most common saying among the scions of these powerful families is, "Our ancestors finished all the work we were supposed to do 30,000 years ago!" And this isn't actually a lie. So unless the imperial court itself is furious, such trivial matters that harm the lower classes and refugees are unlikely to bring down these powerful families, let alone even be investigated.

Because, just as the guard said.

"This is reasonable, legal, and can withstand legal scrutiny."

Cang Linzu closed his eyes. At this moment, he was still angry, and the flames in his heart were still burning fiercely. However, an absurd feeling was still growing in his heart: "Wrong, all wrong... Wrong to the core, impossible to change, impossible to alter... One move affects the whole body, so it's better to do nothing, to stop, so that it can continue to function... This human society is nothing but a cesspool!"

"Unless everything is destroyed, everything dies out, and then there's a blank canvas to paint on, to start all over again!"

"but……"

"This is just another cycle."

"It is only meaningful to build something new and destroy the old; otherwise, it is just a simple repetition, which is the most boring and tedious thing in the world."

Destroy the wrong, build the new.

This is the true meaning of the Seven Killings Calamity, and also the mission of these companion stars.

If Anjing were weak, they might have understood this much earlier, but they would not have been able to walk the right path and would have been able to take the distorted and extreme path of destruction instead of creation.

"The true Seven Calamities... belongs only to the eldest brother."

Having gained a deeper understanding of everything, Cang Linzu not only felt even greater respect for An Jing, but also a sense of vigilance: "But, since it is the Yuan family, my surprise attack, though seemingly quick, was actually enough for them to react... and they may even already know my identity."

"Even with my current strength, with my senior brother's remote assistance, it would still be difficult to deal with." After pondering for a while, Cang Linzu shook his head slightly.

Even if that's the case, he has no choice but to face it.

So, after confirming that there were no living people in the entire puppet workshop who should be killed, he went out and came to the outside of the granary on the ground.

Just as he stepped out of the granary gate, Canglinzu saw colorful clouds and rainbows surrounding him, and a dense array of troops resembling a heavenly army.

The soldiers stood in rows like a forest, their ranks like clouds.

More than three thousand fully armed 'celestial officials' with martial auras, and even their leaders with the aura of real people, were true 'heavenly soldiers'. They carried magical weapons, set up a martial formation, connected with the earth's veins, used their supernatural powers, and conjured up divine light that reached the heavens, sealing off the entire granary area and surrounding it completely.

Besides these, above the clouds, there were also flying boats, airships, and giant ships appearing and disappearing, their spiritual patterns flowing, exuding a sacred and solemn aura.

[The Northern Army's Lieutenant General, with ample provisions, lay down your weapons.] Above the sky, a celestial being clad in golden armor, resembling a heavenly general, spoke with a voice as resounding as a great bell, echoing throughout heaven and earth: [You have committed numerous murders and grave crimes. If you surrender, there is still a glimmer of hope for your survival.]

If you resist stubbornly, we have the right to kill you on the spot.

"I rely on."

Because of the boiling spiritual energy, the heat wave, like a summer breeze, lifted Cang Linzu's temples. He slightly widened his eyes and looked at the situation in the sky. At this moment, he didn't know whether to gasp or laugh: "What kind of scene is this?"

With just a glance, Cang Linzu saw more than ten True Immortals, a thousand Martial Vein Peak experts whose strength was comparable to or even surpassed that of the previous guard leader, as well as a large military formation with a more profound and mysterious aura. The flying boats, airships, and giant ships could also unleash incredible power. Not to mention capturing Martial Vein experts, they were in no way inferior to the city formations guarded by True Immortals.

With this kind of force, they're going to use it against me? What a joke.

They know better than anyone that their granaries are full.

What they really want to deal with is not "merely a general with ample provisions," but "the friends of the Master of Heaven and Nature"!

"How could I possibly win in this situation? How could I possibly defeat them?"

The granary was full, he muttered to himself.

But at this moment.

He heard a voice.

Don't worry, A-Cang.

A voice, intimately familiar, blazing like the sun, chilling like the moon, and majestic as the heavens, resounded in his heart: "You can defeat him."

An Jing's voice echoed in Cang Linzu's heart, filled with the same fierce anger. Together with Cang Linzu, they saw all the martial artists speaking with a ruthless tone and absolute confidence: "Not only can you defeat them, with your strength, you can annihilate them all!"

"Senior Brother, are you serious?"

Cang Linzu couldn't hold back any longer: "I'm lucky I escaped with my life, what do you mean by annihilation?"

"Oh," An Jing sighed, somewhat regretfully, "I have indeed forgotten that you are not me, but it doesn't matter."

Brother, open your heart and mind, and experience it fully.

Watch me do it!
