The more you believe me, the more real it becomes.

Chapter 170 I'm going to kill you!

The plan of the Three Mountains Lord was simple: to use the illusion of knowledge to deceive the mortal army that was pressing in, and then use the calamity of war to break the Taoist's united forces.

After Wang Pingzhang's first attempt failed, he was still able to wait for the second batch of Zhang Wei.

It is known that Zhang Wei, like Wang Pingzhang, also defected.

He then decisively changed his plans.

That is, he personally delivered this 'silt' in order to take advantage of his status as a mountain god to control the territory and directly ruin this batch of pills.

Everything went smoothly up to that point, and no one noticed anything amiss along the way.

This is perfectly natural, since they are just a bunch of ordinary mortals, how could they possibly see through his disguise as a mountain god?

He just didn't expect to be exposed as soon as he got to the person in charge.

Even within its own territory.

It has to be said, this Taoist priest has an exceptionally sharp eye.

But even so, it doesn't matter!

Because he is still here, the mortal army below the mountain will arrive immediately.

He came at this exact moment!

So what if you averted two wars in a row? So what if you saw through my disguise?

Now that you are in my territory and facing me, the mountain god, you are powerless to break through the war that is sweeping in from the outside!
He couldn't possibly wait for the Taoist priest to subdue the old general before foolishly appearing and saying something stupid like, "You're not bad, but I'm still here!"
It can be said that he has now killed this Taoist priest!
"Heh heh, you old Taoist priest, now that you are in my territory and my domain, how can you, a burdened passerby, possibly be my enemy?"

Du Yuan remained standing guard in front of the alchemy furnace.

The other person's voice came from all directions, as if he had been stuffed into the other person's mouth.

The Great Mountain God is still within the other party's territory, and has now clearly fallen into the other party's trap.

An indescribable pressure, like a mountain, settled over Du Yuan's heart.

Vast as the sea, heavy as a mountain, it is nothing more than this.

Du Yuan felt that this was the biggest crisis he had encountered since his debut.

Don't panic, don't lose your composure.

If I panic in this situation, I will surely suffer a hasty defeat.

My ability is to turn the false into the true and reverse the order of things. If even I am afraid, wouldn't I be destroying my own Great Wall?

Du Yuan, who kept telling herself not to panic, slowly regained her composure and said:

"I don't think so."

"Oh, why not?"

Amidst the earth-shaking tremors, a colossal shadow, far darker and more profound than its surroundings, slowly descended before Du Yuan.

It was a kind of darkness that was hard to describe. Although it was all darkness, there was a kind of darkness that was much deeper and heavier than the surrounding black.

It makes one immediately recognize its extraordinary nature.

"Because I'm not carrying any weight at all!"

Since the situation is unfavorable, let's make a counter-move first!
Looking at the towering figure, Du Yuan finally rose from her cross-legged position in front of the alchemy furnace and looked up at it at eye level.

This caused a slight surprise in the other person's expression, which then turned into self-deprecation:
"I've always looked down on that guy, Wei Wang, but I never expected that he would actually outsmart me."

Even in his Dharma body, His tone remained relaxed, as if all of this was still insignificant.

But He couldn't help asking out of curiosity:
"Since you're not carrying any weight, why are you refining this batch of pills? Oh, do you perhaps really want to do something for these mortals?"

As he spoke, he realized what was happening. His tone was filled with surprise and amusement far exceeding what he had shown before.

The people in the mountains actually care about the lives of ordinary people!
"Why care so much about a group of mortals? Besides, what can a single batch of pills accomplish? Don't you know that alchemy is always about seizing the power of heaven and earth to enrich oneself?"

Du Yuan thought she would be affected by such a dismissive answer, but after actually hearing it, she realized that...

Surprisingly, he remained completely unmoved.

This puzzled Du Yuan; it didn't seem like how he knew her.

He felt he was far from being a saint, but he should be considered a good person.

I feel sad when I see someone in trouble, angry when I see someone doing evil, and I wish I could intervene when I see injustice.
But why did it remain completely still?

Although puzzled, he still answered:

"Because it's very important!"

This answer actually made Him quite certain:
"Yes, it is indeed very important. After all, without the worship of mortals, there is nowhere to find the incense that my golden body needs. However, I am not going to exterminate them. It's only for the next few years, and it's only in this one place."

Finally, He answered slowly and deliberately:
"Anyway, they're just a bunch of mortals who, like cockroaches, will never die out completely and will always keep popping up in groups."

He noticed this in ancient times.

Natural disasters, man-made calamities, ferocious beasts, plagues—anything can easily take the lives of these tiny creatures in droves.

He often saw them fall in droves before his eyes.

But for some reason, these little things never seem to die out.

It was true in the past, it is true now, and it will be true in the future.

If that's the case, why bother?
Anyway, it will grow back in a few years!
Hearing this, Du Yuan finally understood why she had remained completely unmoved.

Because ever since he met that Lawson King, he knew the answer—there was no reasoning with this group of people!

The only time they can understand is when they are scared and about to die!
If that's the case, why bother?
I'm going to kill them anyway!

Du Yuan felt a sudden realization and was extremely relieved, laughing heartily:

"I see!"

"Oh, you understand?" the towering black figure asked curiously.

Du Yuan looked at Him and said, word by word:

"I understand, but what I do understand is that I have to kill you!"

Completely unexpected answer.

This silenced Him, and after a long while, He finally chuckled:
"You are ignorant of your own limitations! I must admit that your method of suppressing evil with the Great Dao is indeed troublesome. If you were to borrow the power of humanity to suppress evil, given my actions, I would likely suffer a severe punishment."

King Wei did deceive them, but he did not hide the fact that the Taoist priest possessed the ability to suppress people using the Great Dao. King Wei was well aware of the implications.

After all, he wanted to drag people down with him, not use someone else to do his dirty work.

"Unfortunately, don't you know that the Southwest is already devoid of humanity? In order to prevent you from using the Great Dao to suppress me, I have specially isolated this place from the outside world?"

At this point, He said with great pride:
"It seems that the armies of those mortals have already arrived and are about to drive away and kill the refugees you have painstakingly gathered!"

When war strikes, the little order that the Taoist priest has painstakingly restored will crumble in an instant. Humanity here will also become uncertain and there will be nothing left to rely on.

As for the Way of Heaven, well, within His territory, how could outsiders be allowed to borrow the Way of Heaven?
As the saying goes, even a lion needs to go all out to catch a rabbit.

What's more, it's a deity from one of the three religions whose origins are unknown.
While He, the Lord of the Three Mountains, may indeed look down on everything, this does not mean that He is truly arrogant.

Only by being proud but not foolish can one live a long and prosperous life, lasting for thousands of years!
