Jackie Chan Adventures: I, the Holy Lord's Brother!
Chapter 172: Hypocritical Royal Court
This is a dark space. There seems to be no concept of sky and earth here. The sky is boundless and the ground under the feet is illusory. An invisible force supports the divine sky.
Looking around, all I could see was hazy clouds and mist, and nothing else existed.
"Have I arrived in the underworld?"
Shentian said somewhat confusedly that the scene before him was somewhat similar to the underworld scene he saw when he used the cat spell, both black and white and foggy.
"No, this is not the underworld, but the end of the world, the end of everything - the hypocritical royal court!" A cold voice came from behind.
Shentian turned around and saw a figure he never expected behind him - Xiaoyu!
exactly.
It is the future Xiaoyu who controls the Shadow Kingdom.
But then, Xiaoyu from the past, the great wizard Xiaoyu who inherited Lope's will, also walked out from behind Xiaoyu from the future.
Xiaoyu smiled and greeted Shentian cheerfully, "Long time no see, Shentian. How are the demons doing in the world?"
"What's wrong with you?" Looking at the two Xiaoyu, Shentian didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Seeing this, Future Xiaoyu sighed and said, "Let me explain it to you!"
"The me and her you saw were dead in a sense, but the us you see now are alive in another sense."
"We were rescued from the long river of time by the will of heaven, using the power of time."
"To put it simply, we were already dead, but at the moment before death, we were saved by the will of heaven and then imprisoned here."
"And the reason you're here is because, like us, you've been chosen by the will of heaven."
"Here, not only Xiaoyu and I are here, but all the Heavenly Dao seeds that have existed and passed away in the past thousands of years are here too!"
As Future Xiaoyu spoke, she raised her right hand and snapped her fingers lightly. Then the mist behind her slowly dissipated, revealing an extremely magnificent sacred royal court.
Countless creatures with different appearances and languages come in and out of this royal court, but without exception, each of them is unique.
Shentian seemed to understand what Future Xiaoyu meant and said, "So, this means that all the seeds of the Heavenly Dao over the past thousands of years have been imprisoned here?"
"Yeah." Future Xiaoyu nodded and said, "You are right. Xiaoyu is the representative of the human species, you are the representative of the demon species, and I..."
"And you are the representative of the Shadow Kingdom!" Shentian widened his eyes. In other words, the Shadow Kingdom and the Shadow Soldiers were once the seeds of a certain generation of Heavenly Dao.
No wonder the shadow soldiers are so strange. They can survive in the world without any real life. The shadow kingdom is even more dependent on darkness and hidden deep in another space.
Future Xiaoyu said "hmm" softly, with an indescribable sense of distance in her voice.
But at this moment, Shentian thought of the Holy Lord and the others, and hurriedly asked, "How long have I been here? Is the war between demons and gods over?"
"No, you came here just a few minutes ago. Although the flow of time in this space is different from the real world, if we estimate, only half a month has passed in the real world!"
"If you want to see what the real world is like, you can follow me." Future Xiaoyu said, walking towards the sacred royal court hidden in the mist.
Shentian didn't hesitate and followed him directly. He was already dead anyway.
The three of them came to a square in front of the royal court. There was a mirror in the center of the square. Through the mirror, they could see the scenes of the real world.
Future Xiaoyu pointed at the mirror and said, "This is the Mirror of Time. Put your hand on it, and you will see what you want to see in your heart."
"Can you see anything?"
"To some extent, yes. Besides the future, I can even see the past," said Future Xiaoyu. Shentian felt a little magical.
He took a deep breath and placed his hand on the Mirror of Time. As his heart moved, the Mirror of Time began to vibrate, and then a picture appeared on it.
In the picture, no one knew what had happened in the three realms of Zhuo, Qing and Tian. The demons in the two realms of Qing and Zhuo were killed or injured, and the bright red blood almost dyed the earth red.
Of the ten gods including Lü Dongbin and the Sky Burial Beast, only Lü Dongbin, the Sky Burial Beast, the Holy Lord, Chixing and Jushan are left.
The two newly promoted gods of Qingjie seemed to have perished in the initial war.
Not only that, among Ximu, Basha, Zhulan, Xiaofeng and Zhongsu, only Ximu and Zhulan are left at this moment, and the other three have all died.
"What's going on"
A feeling of powerlessness surged in Shentian's heart.
As expected, the gap between the demon species and the god species is still too big, and the top combat power is too different.
But Shentian still wanted to see the situation of the gods, so he moved the scene to the divine court in heaven.
But what was beyond Shentian's expectations was that the Divine Court was also in a state of ruin, with a god covered in blood sitting on the ruins of the Divine Court.
Be beside Him.
It is another one of the five major species of gods.
But these five great gods also looked seriously injured and dying. A very strange black flame was always lingering on their bodies, making it impossible for them to recover.
Even through the Mirror of Time, Shentian could sense that the flame was unusual.
"What's going on? Why do both the demons and gods look defeated?" Shentian turned around and looked at the future Xiaoyu.
Meeting Shentian's gaze, Future Xiaoyu sighed helplessly, "Because you've all been tricked. Whether you're a demon or a god, this is all just a game played by Heaven."
Future Xiaoyu said this as she walked forward and moved the image on the mirror of time back ten days.
That was the fifth day after Shentian’s death.
During these five days, the Holy Lord and his men repelled the first attack from the gods.
But similarly, the demons also lost the other two Demon Courts, leaving only the last Holy Demon Court.
The Qingjie was even more tragic. Among the thirty-six demon lords, only Ximu survived, and the other thirty-five all fell at the hands of the gods.
Only the Turbid Realm suffered the least loss because it was protected by the Sky Burial Beast and Lu Dongbin, and the divine species only sent out three divine masters in total.
But even so, eight of the thirteen demon lords were killed, leaving only five.
"Why is this happening? If we were really defeated like this, how could we destroy the Divine Court in ten days?" Shentian said with great confusion.
If what is shown on the Mirror of Time is true, then according to the current situation of the demon clan, it is impossible for them to pose a threat to the gods, let alone ascend to heaven and destroy the Divine Court in ten days.
"Don't be impatient, you will know soon." Future Xiaoyu whispered, her fingertips continuing to slide.
When the time on the Time Mirror was pushed back two days, a scene that shocked Shen Tian appeared. (End of this chapter)
