The Unjust System and My War-Crazy Self

At this moment, a clear voice suddenly came into his ears from behind.

"Xiao Chen, here!!"

The young man called Xiao Chen turned around and was shocked by his relative's appearance.

"Agrippina, what are you wearing?"

The young woman who was greeting Xiao Chen enthusiastically had thick black hair and looked somewhat similar to people from the Central Plains, but there were still some differences.

It was obvious that this was a Norma.

However, this Norma man wore a black lotus-decorated hat, a lion pendant around his neck, a strange gauze dress, and white bands around his arms...

Out of tune with the surroundings.

"Hey!" Agrippina laughed enthusiastically.

"Aren't we going to the Tianshan Tunnel for a scenic view?"

"I made inquiries before I came."

"The Tianshan Tunnel is the closest place to the underworld in Seris. Going there requires God's blessing, otherwise the souls there might be taken to hell."

"I know, there are many gods in Seris."

"So I bought a lot of amulets."

"This." Agrippina pointed to the hat on her head.

"I bought it from the nearby Black Lotus Buddha Temple. It's said to have been blessed by the temple's abbot himself, and it can ward off evil spirits."

"This." Agrippina shook the gauze dress on her body.

"I bought it from the Taoist temple of the Soul Protector. It's said to have been blessed by a Taoist priest and can bring peace to the soul."

"This." Agrippina showed the white belt on her hand.

"I bought it from the Anxi King's Temple. It can ward off evil..."

Xiao Chen's expression became more and more strange as he listened, and then he stopped Agrippina who was still chattering on and on about the introduction.

"Cousin, don't show it."

"All of these things you mentioned are the same God."

"......Ah?" Agrippina was stunned.

"That's not right." She scratched her head.

Her parents are from an international marriage. Although she grew up in Norma, she always felt that she was half Seresian and could be called a Seriston.

"Taoist temples, temples, and ancestral halls should be churches dedicated to different gods."

"And I saw clearly that the statues inside are all different."

"The ones in the Taoist temples ride golden dragons and drive white deer, while the ones in the Buddhist temples ride black lotuses and lead jade lions..."

Before she could finish, Xiao Chen held the phone in front of her and displayed the searched data.

"See for yourself."

After reading it, Agrippina was hurt.

"It really is the same god! Didn't those amulet sellers warn me?"

"People who do tourism business are all the same, they just want to cheat outsiders." Xiao Chen complained.

"The last time I traveled to Constantinople, a street vendor insisted on selling me some kind of Holy Communion of the Apocalypse."

"It's just a regular sandwich, and it costs over three hundred bucks. They even made up a story about how Caesar invented this sacrament to speed up his march."

"Hahaha!!" Hearing this, Agrippina was overjoyed.

"Not bad!"

"At least he didn't tell you that his ancestors were descended from the blood of Apocalypse Caesar."

Xiao Chen looked at her speechlessly.

"Who said no?"

"He said his ancestors were nobles in a certain town. When Apocalypse Caesar attacked the town, the noble's beautiful young daughter took the initiative to walk into Caesar's tent for the safety of the town..."

"She managed to convince Apocalypse Caesar to spare the city."

"Then ten months after Apocalypse Caesar left, the noble girl gave birth to a child."

"Hahahaha!!!" Agrippina almost laughed to tears.

"I heard a similar story in Norma City, but the protagonist was a newlywed lady..."

"Okay!" Xiao Chen looked at the time.

"It's getting late."

"Let's get going quickly. Maybe we can see the giant terracotta warriors today."

"Luckily, it's the off-season, otherwise we would have to wait in line for hours."

"Go, go, go!!" Agrippina's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Giant figurines!!"

Museums, exhibition halls.

"Wow

Although I have seen videos and photos, only when I actually face the giant terracotta can I realize what a terrifying behemoth it is.

The warrior figurine is as tall as several stories, holding a steel whip and pretending to strike. Under the faint light, just looking into the pair of empty eyes is enough to make people tremble.

"Bang!" Agrippina's legs subconsciously went weak and she was about to fall to the ground. Fortunately, Xiao Chen pulled her up.

"Hu, hu——" Agrippina patted her chest to slow down her rapidly beating heartbeat.

“How terrifying, how terrifying!!”

"No wonder they say that if you come to the Western Regions and don't see the terracotta warriors, your trip is a wasted one."

She admired

“It’s so beautiful!!”

“So majestic!”

After saying that, Agrippina happily took out her camera and started taking pictures.

Then, her eyes involuntarily fell on the various murals on the wall.

It depicts various war scenes.

Basically, it's about giant warrior figurines falling from the sky, kicking open the city gates, smashing down the city walls, and making the enemy terrified.

"Woo--" She excitedly pulled Xiao Chen over and asked, pointing at the mural.

"Xiao Chen, this giant, is it used for war?"

"I've heard that the God King Anxi of Seris once helped the emperor of the mortal world to eliminate his enemies."

"There are many giant gods in the God King's army."

"Are you talking about the giant terracotta warriors?"

"That's really cool."

"I was terrified the moment I saw that giant figurine. If I were to encounter it on the battlefield, it's no wonder the enemies of the God King would be terrified to death."

"How is that possible?" Xiao Chen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"This painting does depict the battles of King Anxi."

"But history and myth are two completely different things."

"During the Tang Dynasty in Daxia history, there was indeed an outstanding young general named Shu Yichao. He led the Frontal Soul Army to conquer the Western Regions and was later deified."

"However, due to various embellishments and theatrical interpretations by later generations, the real events have basically been mixed with the myths."

"These giant figurines were probably carved specifically to commemorate King Anxi."

"How could it be used in war?"

"Oh, really?"

Agrippina blinked.

"But I heard that your history books are full of records of the Anxi God King leading the Giant God to attack everywhere."

"Hey, you are talking about the Xianhun Army, right?" Xiao Chen thought for a while.

"The reason why the history books record it this way is simply because the achievements of King Anxi and his Xianhun Army were so exaggerated."

"So we had to invent a story about a god descending to earth, using all sorts of miraculous things to show that this person was born extraordinary."

"Just like your Apocalypse Caesar, don't history books record that he could rise from the dead, lead an army descending from the sky, and dominate everything, with the oceans and mountains automatically making way for him? Isn't that an exaggerated myth?"

“But actually, those who understand will understand.”

Xiao Chen spread his hands.

"Could it be possible that these things are true?"

"That seems to be true." Agrippina muttered.

Chapter 252 - The Greatest General

"Besides, although much of the First Soul Army's deeds have been lost, there are still some areas that can be studied."

Xiao Chen continued to explain.

"Shu Yichao was first called the Black Lotus Buddha around the same time he started his rebellion."

"So some people in later generations speculated that when King Anxi was roaming the Western Regions and the Yellow River, he most likely utilized the power of religion."

"Perhaps he claims to be the reincarnation of the Black Lotus Buddha, and leads the Xianhun Army in battle as both a religious leader and the Grand Protector of the Anxi Army."

"According to archaeological data, many places at the time rose up in response to the news that King Anxi was the reincarnation of the Black Lotus Buddha or the Bodhisattva Gatralingji."

"At the same time, according to the records in the Tang Dynasty History, after the death of King Anxi, the Xianhun Army in Hezhong and other places in the Western Regions all showed the characteristics of a religious army."

"For example, they don't get married, don't hold banquets, rarely interact with others, and when they gather together, they often don't allow outsiders to approach—"

"He has the style of an ascetic."

"Since it's such a religious army, it's not hard to understand why it's full of myths."

"In fact, the title of the First Soul Army itself carries a strong connotation of ancestor worship."

"Perhaps those soldiers believed they had inherited the will of their ancestors and could allow their ancestors' spirits to possess their bodies."

"Also, in the middle areas of the Hezhong region in the Western Regions, there are a large number of stone skull towers said to have been built by the First Soul Army. Legend has it that these skull towers can move the stars, change the weather, and turn day into night. This also carries..."

"Hey, hey, hey, friend." At this moment, a middle-aged man next to him interrupted Xiao Chen.

"I slightly agree with what you said earlier."

"But then, it all started to feel like nonsense."

"Hmm?" Xiao Chen turned around, glanced at the other person's beard, and then asked hesitantly.

"Anse people?"

"Yes." The bearded man nodded.

"My last name is Li, and I'm here for tourism, too."

After a brief greeting, the bearded man got straight to the point.

"Brother, I can barely be considered a history enthusiast. I think your evaluation of King Anxi and the Xianhun Army is a bit low, isn't it?"

"When the entire Western Region fell under the iron hoof of Tumo, when the Central Asian countries and the Ans Plateau wept blood under the scimitar of the Alasar Empire."

“Who came out to save this?!”

"Isn't it the great King Anxi?"

"He led the powerful Xianhun Army and declared war on the extremely powerful Tumo Empire and the extremely terrifying Alassa Empire—"
