For people like Zhuang Chengqian, no matter how much he admired Jiang Wang, no matter how tragic Jiang Wang's death was, even if his soul was completely destroyed, it was not worth mentioning.
But what really moved him was...
The story he devised changed at the last minute.
Jiang Wang's soul has self-destructed, and he must face the disaster of his own life!
But he can't do it!
After all the hardships, the only option is to die, and to beg for God's grace at the end of the road.
If he could resist the calamity of immortality, he would not have to die back then. If he could resist the calamity of immortality, he wouldn't have to hide in the underworld and watch his son being killed. If he could resist the calamity of no life, he wouldn't have to go to great lengths to let Jiang Wang come and fill the calamity.
The Tribulation of No Life is a terrifying magical technique developed by the Bone God from the divine source. It cannot be used easily, and the day of death will be determined as soon as it is used. It can even be said to be the foundation of the divine throne.
He couldn't face it alone.
He tried every means, but he only delayed the day of disaster until now.
Jiang Wang was right about one thing, he wasn't always in control of everything.
He does have the ability to influence the choices of others to some extent, but he cannot always succeed.
For example, the White Bone God came to the White Bone God in a brazen manner and determined his death date with the calamity of no life.
For example, Jiang Wang discovered his presence in Qingyang Town and forced him to show up.
For example, Jiang Wang killed the source of his soul and turned into a demon, forcing him to reveal his true strength in advance.
For example, now... Jiang Wang made a choice that he had never thought of.
I would rather self-destruct and my soul would be destroyed than make up for his calamity.
He thought he knew Jiang Wang very well. He watched Jiang Wang's every word, every move, every choice, and every face he faced.
He believed that he understood Jiang Wang better than anyone in the world, and in fact it was true.
So he was sure that Jiang Wang would accept his choice.
With Jiang Wang's character, it is impossible to give up at any time and under any circumstances. In the situation where he will die if he advances or die if he retreats, he will almost certainly choose to convert to Shinto in the state of soul to await future revenge.
And before that, Jiang Wang had always shown an extremely tenacious will to survive, just like he had always done.
But...what went wrong?
Are you being blinded by hatred and confusing your reason? Would you rather die than drag your enemy to death?
These thoughts in my mind just passed by for a moment.
Zhuang Chengqian had no more time to think about Jiang Wang's choice.
Because the calamity of lifelessness is already close at hand!
He originally wanted to force Jiang Wang's soul to send him into the eyes of the unborn tribulation, and use Jiang Wang to replace the tribulation, thereby breaking the scheme set by the Bone God.
It is true that he cannot escape the catastrophe of no life, but he can cultivate another "him" to welcome the period of no life for him.
Jiang Wang is his choice, and he has indeed grown to the state he needs, and can be a perfect replacement.
From now on, he will be able to compete with the Bone God again without any shackles.
What he wants is more than just defeating the Bone God.
He wants to overthrow the Bone God from his throne!
But at this moment, just before he was about to fill his eyes and achieve perfection, Jiang Wang exploded decisively, destroying his soul.
The good situation collapsed instantly.
Only his own soul was left to face the catastrophe of no life, as if he had never been alone between heaven and earth, and the dark tribulation eyes seemed to be sending him an invitation to die.
It seems that the fate of death is never far away and never changes!
"Are you wondering why your magical power is ineffective?"
The indifferent voice of the White Bone God sounded at this moment, like an order, like a seal, like an edict.
"You think I don't know, you think I don't notice. You think that for a long time, I have been a clay-embedded wood sculpture, only receiving incense, and can be at your mercy! Why are you so small, imagining the heights of the sky? Why do you, ants, dare to be so small? Looking down on the gods!?”
Zhuang Chengqian has powerful magical powers, but he releases secrets and hides them very deeply. Everyone knows that Zhuang Chengqian is powerful, but very few people know exactly what his strongest magical power is.
His magical power is called [Misguided Path].
In a person's life, there will be countless choices. These choices determine what kind of person a person will eventually become.
And Zhuang Chengqian can influence this choice at certain critical moments and make people go "astray"!
For example, Jiang Wang chose to enter Xin'an City at night and kill Dong A by force.
For example, Song Hengjiang finally chose to be possessed by Song Wanxi.
They all had their own reasons, and that would indeed be one of their choices, but in the end it was Zhuang Chengqian's magical power that made this choice happen!
This magical power is Zhuang Chengqian's greatest reliance, and it is also his invincible confidence.
But this time, before filling the tribulation, at the moment of Jiang Wang’s final choice...
The White Bone God quietly took action, blocking Zhuang Chengqian's misguided magical power, making his magical power ineffective, so that Jiang Wang could not be affected, make the most "correct" choice based on his heart, and avoid "going astray"!
Ironically, Zhuang Chengqian's biggest reliance also caused Zhuang Chengqian to go astray.
It was precisely because of his trust in the misguided supernatural power and his certainty in his own analysis and judgment that Zhuang Chengqian did not expect Jiang Wang to self-destruct.
Zhuang Gaoxian and Du Ruhui snatched the elixir from the tiger's mouth, Chongxuan and Chu Liang chopped the bones of the sacred body into pieces in front of the formation, Wang Changji resisted the will of the gods, and Zhang Linchuan even took away the bones of the sacred body.
Perhaps in the eyes of these people, the so-called Bone God is nothing more than that.
The so-called Netherworld gods possess combat power beyond the extraordinary, but they can only show off their power in the Netherworld and have no involvement in the real world at all. Cross-border attacks are often overthrown.
But in fact, if the Bone God wants to become a god in this world, the biggest resistance he faces is never them, but the hostility from this world!
Zhuang Gaoxian, Du Ruhui, Wang Changji and Zhang Linchuan, these people are certainly terrifying, but without those mistakes, the final victory may not have been achieved.
Just as Zhuang Chengqian warned Jiang Wang at the beginning - "Don't underestimate the Bone God. Even if there is a temporary victory or defeat, you must always remember that he is a nearly immortal god of the underworld."
A momentary victory or defeat was so insignificant in His long life!
At this moment, Zhuang Cheng Qian escaped for nearly two hundred years, delaying the calamity until now. He even used Jiang Wang to fill the calamity, and played an almost perfect hand in the calamity.
The White Bone God just flicked his fingers in the long river of time and brought everything back to the beginning.
Just like two hundred years ago, Song Wanxi died. Zhuang Chengqian endured for decades and wiped out the White Bone Road in one fell swoop. However, the White Bone God who came to the world with great force directly set the date of his death.
So many years have passed.
A calamity is still a calamity, and Zhuang Chengqian is still Zhuang Chengqian!
The White Bone Daozi is still the White Bone Daozi, and the White Bone God is still coming to the world!
The will of the gods cannot be changed, and the destiny determined by the gods must come!
"No!"
Zhuang Chengqian's soul quickly rose up, wanting to turn back to his physical body. He wanted to rely on the support of his physical body to hold on for a few more breaths. He also has the persistence to never give up.
But the chessboard without the manifested calamity suddenly became more involved.
The Bone God had no reservations, and the divine power from the netherworld was injected into the catastrophe of no life. The catastrophe of no life, which lasted for nearly two hundred years, was detonated here!
The origin of Zhuang Chengqian's soul had almost no room for resistance and instantly fell into the eyes of Wusheng Jiejie.
But almost at the same time, the blood puppet's true demon phoenix eyes slightly raised, and the demonic energy burst out. He grabbed the white skeleton, flew over the chessboard manifested by Wushengjie, and smashed the white skeleton onto Zhuang Chengqian's soul. Hit him with it and hit him in the eye!
The Blood Puppet True Demon was refined by Zhuang Chengqian, and was naturally controlled by Zhuang Chengqian.
At such a critical moment, Zhuang Chengqian chose to explode the blood puppet demon and hijack the body of the Bone God to let the Bone God make a choice.
The Inanimate Tribulation is certainly powerful, but it cannot affect the Bone Skeleton, which has the same origin as the Bone God. Zhuang Chengqian can completely hide under the protection of the Bone Skeleton to escape the calamity.
And the Bone God made a decisive choice.
I saw the white bones and skulls suddenly collapsed and scattered into dots of frost.
He did not hesitate to disintegrate his body, even though it was already the strongest body he could have in this world. Even though this body was extremely precious, he destroyed it on the spot, without giving Zhuang Chengqian any chance to escape.
Zhuang Chengqian's soul no longer had any room to struggle, and was deeply trapped in the eyes of calamity.
There is nothing anymore.
It has dissipated in an instant, and will disappear immediately after the disaster!
The manifested chessboard of the Inanimate Tribulation shrank and turned into a ball of light the size of a fist, falling back into the cave. Follow the ancient passage and fall into the netherworld.
That was Zhuang Chengqian's calamity, Zhuang Chengqian's fate, his life span and death date.
From now on, he will be reduced to the Kingdom of Bones forever!
The White Bone God will be born through this, eliminating the hostility in this world and firmly moving towards the path of becoming a god in this world.
it's all over.
The battle between the founding hero and the Netherworld gods, which lasted for hundreds of years, has finally come to an end.
The Bone God won the final victory.
No!
Outside the pale ball of light, there was a dark spot of light suddenly leaving.
The light spot jumped up, running counter to the pale white ball of light, and continued to expand. enlarge.
Eventually it manifested into a tall human form.
Shockingly, it was Zhuang Chengqian again!
Or maybe this isn't right either.
Because this person's appearance is not exactly like Zhuang Chengqian. Between his eyebrows and eyes, there is a hint of Jiang Wang.
His image is more like a combination of Zhuang Chengqian and Jiang Wang.
In fact, this new soul is indeed a kind of fusion and reversal.
From the beginning, Zhuang Chengqian made two preparations. He constantly made himself and Jiang Wang's life origins closer to each other in order to achieve the purpose of using Jiang Wang to fill his eyes.
But Jiang Wang can become him, which also means that he can also become Jiang Wang.
In the fierce battle, he also lurked a backhand, which was the inner demon he had destroyed with one palm before. The power of the inner demon was actually contained by him and was not directly annihilated.
The inner demon itself has the same origin as Jiang Wang, and can be regarded as a certain part of Jiang Wang. This is the basis.
At the last moment when the calamity of no life was settled, he once again split the origin of his soul into two parts, and sent part of it to the eye of calamity to welcome his death. The other part, however, was integrated with the power of Jiang Wang's inner demons, completely giving up on his destiny and letting himself get closer to Jiang Wang.
Then he is no longer Zhuang Chengqian, but a brand new Jiang Wang.
The inanimate calamity affecting Zhuang Chengqian will naturally no longer involve him.
For Zhuang Chengqian, staying true to himself and getting a new life is the best choice.
After this choice failed, rebirth as Jiang Wang was the second best choice!
But the reborn soul is very fragile and can easily be erased by the Bone God.
Therefore, his last move before his soul was destroyed was to control the blood puppet demon and smash the bones and skeletons into the eyes of the tribulation. Let the Bone God make a choice that will fail no matter what.
By keeping his body, Zhuang Chengqian's true self will have a chance to survive the catastrophe. By disintegrating the body, the Bone God will lose the ability to immediately interfere with the underwater devil's cave. Zhuang Chengqian can become Jiang Wang and be reborn calmly on the basis of his inner demons.
Even when the "Wrong Way" magical power was blocked and Jiang Wang escaped from self-destruction, he could still make such a wonderful move. In this game with the Netherworld gods that lasted for hundreds of years, Zhuang Chengqian can be said to be superior. !
"Zhuang Chengqian!"
From the cave, the roar of the White Bone God came.
This long-lived Netherworld god showed violent anger for the first time.
Strictly speaking, even now, He has not failed.
Because He has obliterated Zhuang Chengqian's true self and truly took back the "White Bone Taoist Son". Although he does not have a White Bone Taoist body and cannot directly come into the world, he can also give birth to a Taoist fetus and be born into the world.
There is no longer a need to rely on a certain body from the original world, and there is no need for such an uncontrollable link as Bai Gu Daozi. The newly born Tao fetus originally belongs to this world, thus eliminating the hostility of this world and clearing the biggest obstacle to the achievement of gods in this world.
But it can't be considered a complete victory. Because Zhuang Chengqian escaped in another way after all. Although Zhuang Chengqian completely abandoned himself and chose to be reborn in another way, his existence itself has become the weakness of the White Bone God's future birth.
Even though he has been reborn, his past destiny and past calamities are still related to him to some extent.
Putting aside those mysterious causes and effects, the most intuitive expression is that the newborn Zhuang Chengqian naturally became the weakness of the unborn white-bone Taoist fetus.
At the last moment, Zhuang Chengqian still used such a trick to forcefully create gaps. This is the reason why the Bone God, who has lived a long life, cannot remain calm.
In a chess game that lasted for hundreds of years, He failed to completely defeat the mortal ants.
He especially cannot tolerate flaws in His path to earthly deity!
Within the cave, terrifying divine power spreads.
The Bone God urgently mobilized his power and wanted to come to the world again to erase the flaws.
boom!
The blood puppet is really moving.
She stepped into the cave in one step. The endless surging demonic energy almost turned into substance, blocking the cave.
The reason why the White Bone God could come to his body immediately before, without going through any prerequisite rituals, is because of the special characteristics of the ancient demon cave.
He did not come directly from the Netherworld across the realm, but opened up the ancient passage and came to his body through the tomb of all realms.
According to legend, after the death of the Demon Ancestor, his body was buried in the Tomb of All Realms.
Therefore, the deserted tomb of the world is also the residence of demons. Those powerful real demons and even heavenly demons are guarding the tomb of the world, waiting for the return of the Demon Ancestor.
There are also legends that the deepest part of the border wilderness is connected to the Tomb of the Wanjie Desert.
And now Song Wanxi, although she is a blood puppet, is also a real demon!
Naturally, he can borrow the power of the tombs of all realms.
Zhuang Chengqian took advantage of this and used the Blood Puppet True Demon to mobilize the power of the Tomb of All Realms to block the path of the Bone God and make him return without success, thus sealing his victory!
No matter how incomplete the victory of the Bone God was, he was unwilling to give in.
At least Zhuang Chengqian himself achieved a complete victory second only to the optimal result!
In this abandoned ancient devil's cave, he ended his lifeless calamity, once again defeated the Bone God, and gained a new life. With real-life combat power like the Blood Puppet True Demon as his protector, his future is infinitely bright!
When he regains his cultivation as a real person, he can return to the country with the honor of Taizu. His grandson Zhuang Gaoxian may be willing or unwilling, but he is sure to convince him.
He would not be like Han Yin, who couldn't even suppress Han Xu, who was less than a real person, and died in a conspiracy.
At that time, the Zhuang Kingdom will have four counties and three major real fighting forces. The sky is high and the sky is high, and there is a lot to do.
Hundreds of years ago, he was able to play with the heroes of the world at the hands of applause, split Yong, Lian Jing, play with Qin, established an alliance with the Qingjiang Shui tribe, covered the white bone road with the white bone road, and used the gods to drive out the gods. Now, hundreds of years later, he has a higher starting point and there is no reason why he can't do better.
At the end of this battle, Zhuang Chengqian could be said to have calculated everything and controlled everything from beginning to end.
Calculating people and things is also a matter of God!
That's the time.
The calamity of no life disappears, the bones of the bones are far away.
Zhuang Chengqian stared at the figure with flying long hair in the cave. At this moment when the overall situation was determined, he was finally able to let himself be vulnerable for a moment.
But only for a moment.
He turned around decisively and flew towards his body.
The newly born soul is a bit fragile, especially since he cut off most of the soul's origin to fill the catastrophe of no life, gave up his own self, and chose to be reborn with Jiang Wang's fate.
If the soul before was a strong giant, now it is a newborn child.
If it weren't for the blood puppet brand, he might not be able to command the real blood puppet demon. There is simply no such power.
He needs to return to Tongtian Palace as soon as possible to recuperate and unite his body and soul. Then he went into hiding with the Blood Puppet True Demon, and reappeared when he regained the cultivation level of a real person, stirring up the storm.
Ever since he grabbed Jiang Wang's soul and jumped out of his body, the body has been hovering in mid-air and has not fallen again.
Because there is no eon of life involved in this temporarily ownerless body, the body's instinct keeps it suspended.
Zhuang Chengqian chose to leap out with his soul to protect his new body.
The soul is close to the physical body, almost as if water and milk are in harmony, as if returning to hometown.
He is Jiang Wang at this moment, and he will be Jiang Wang from now on.
He easily entered the Wufu Sea and fell towards Tongtian Palace.
But at this moment...
Suddenly the sword whistled!
A handsome young man, holding a long sword, jumped out from the clouds under the sky and from the ruins of Yunding Immortal Palace. A sword thrust out, dividing life and death.
It's Jiang Wang!
In the most desperate and painful experience, he was never completely destroyed, he was always waiting for the opportunity!
From the beginning, Jiang Wang was determined that if he wanted to defeat Zhuang Chengqian, he had to start from what Zhuang Chengqian didn't know. Because for an opponent like Zhuang Chengqian, all the trump cards he has observed are no longer enough to become a trump card.
What Zhuang Chengqian didn't know was that besides the depths of the inner palace, besides the red makeup mirror... besides these, there was another place inside the body. It was a place he had never been in and could not fully understand.
That is the ruins of Genting Immortal Palace!
Zhuang Chengqian knew about Lingkong Temple, because Jiang Wang went to Chengguo to find Lingkong Temple, and the process of moving it into Yunding Immortal Palace could also be noticed by him. So of course he easily isolated the Lingkong Palace.
But he didn't know what exactly existed inside Yunding Immortal Palace. He didn't know... the monument to the gods!
The Jade Monument is a huge piece of jade. A treasure like the Jade can contain a little bit of the true spirit, and can contain the true spirit of a boy who welcomes guests. Naturally, it can also contain the soul.
In other words, the jade itself is a treasure that warms and nourishes the soul!
At the moment when Jiang Wang fought to the death with Zhuang Chengqian and destroyed the source of his soul, the source of his soul that Jiang Wang cut off with his sword was actually not one, but two.
At that time, he had already guessed Zhuang Chengqian's identity. As for the founding ancestor of Zhuang Kingdom, who was once a real person in this world, he was too aware of his own weakness.
He understood that it was almost impossible for him to be Zhuang Chengqian's opponent.
This is not inferiority, but a clear understanding of reality.
This reality makes people despair, but despair does not exist in his heart.
See reality, recognize reality, face reality! that is it!
Feeding the inner demons with the flesh and blood transformed from the soul, and using the inner demons to fight back against Zhuang Chengqian is the first priority. But he knew very well that the inner demon might not be Zhuang Chengqian's opponent.
Using the severe pain, he separated his mind and guided his body closer to Song Wanxi. This is the second purpose. At the same time, he also understood that even if Zhuang Chengqian really loved Song Wanxi, he might not consider Song Wanxi when making life and death decisions.
Therefore, he also has a third purpose, which is to hide the cut-off second part of the soul's origin and wait for the opportunity of resurrection.
Of course he knew that Lingkong Temple had been known to Zhuang Chengqian and was of no use to Zhuang Chengqian, but he still used the power of Lingkong Temple. In fact, the purpose is to take advantage of the opportunity of Lingkong Temple to transmit vitality and Daoyuan, and to hide the origin of this part of the soul in the ruins of Yunding Immortal Palace, and to hide it in the monument to the gods!
Just like the true spirit of the welcoming boy was previously hidden in the monument to the gods without being noticed by him, he can also use the monument to avoid Zhuang Chengqian's perception.
When he really guessed Zhuang Chengqian's identity, he had already prepared for the worst!
Facing life and death may not be true courage. Struggling in desperate situations may not be true strength.
In the process of finding hope again and again and despairing again, I can still get up and fight again. After feeling the cruel reality and realizing the cruel consequences, you can bravely face it, which is truly brave.
From the beginning, what he was really prepared for was that the origin of his soul would be destroyed and his physical body would be taken over.
From the beginning, he knew how difficult this battle would be.
So he was ready. After the worst ending, after the physical body and soul no longer existed, he would use this part of the incomplete soul to hide in the monument to cultivate. In the time that is destined to be difficult and long in the future, wait for an opportunity that may not come.
No matter how hard it is!
What he didn't expect was that the opportunity would come so quickly.
That’s why there was that self-destruction in front of the catastrophe of no life!
It is to destroy most of the soul's origin and send Zhuang Chengqian to a dead end.
If Zhuang Chengqian is completely annihilated by the Inanimate Tribulation, he can come out of the divine monument and occupy his physical body again.
But Zhuang Chengqian was really terrible. In such a situation, he could still complete the comeback and drive the Bone God back to the netherworld again.
Jiang Wang could only wait and wait, because his weak soul could not withstand the gentle squeeze of the Blood Puppet True Demon.
He may only have a slim chance, and he needs to cherish it extremely.
He waited silently and firmly.
He waited until Zhuang Chengqian completed his comeback and escaped without any danger.
He waited until Zhuang Chengqian's reborn soul returned and returned to Tongtian Palace.
This is the last chance!
Now he is very weak, with only a broken soul, and the only thing he relies on is his strong will and the spirit of the sword he holds tightly.
But Zhuang Chengqian, who had just escaped from the catastrophe of no life. It will only make you weaker.
If you want to make an analogy between the state of the souls of both parties at this moment. He is a dying patient, but Zhuang Chengqian is a baby with no ability to protect himself!
The patient can still fight desperately, but the baby can only endure helplessly.
"Wait! I have a way to resurrect your parents!"
Facing the sudden appearance of Jiang Wang, facing this sudden sword attack, Zhuang Chengqian's first reaction was not to beg for mercy, not to think about why Jiang Wang appeared at this time, but to try to use the softest part of Jiang Wang's heart to delay His sword.
He knew that it was useless to beg for mercy, or to use inducements, or that only by using the shackles of family ties could Jiang Wang hesitate.
This is the best choice made in the shortest time.
But the sword passed by!
A firm horizontal line had separated him.
"Tell me next time you have a chance!"
Jiang Wang didn't hesitate at all and sheathed his sword.
"If you can still be reincarnated, if I can still find you."
Facing an opponent like Zhuang Chengqian, how dare Jiang Wang "wait".
How could he still dare to believe what Zhuang Chengqian said!
The horizontal stroke of the sword appears and then disappears.
Right in front of him.
Above the island of heaven and earth, very close to Tongtian Palace.
Zhuang Chengqian's new fragile soul disintegrated silently. The reluctance, disbelief, and inability to accept still remained on his face, but they had solidified.
In the end, even these emotions collapsed together.
A lifetime of heroes is like a dream, and the grand ambition of hegemony has come to nothing!
The consciousness belonging to Zhuang Chengqian was completely annihilated, and the pure power of the soul turned into white shimmers like snow, falling one after another on Jiang Wang's soul, replenishing his origin.
Like flying snow covering the whole body, it turns into early spring.
Zhuang Chengqian had already become Jiang Wang, so his new soul origin could easily be possessed by Jiang Wang.
The incomplete soul, which was already dying, kept absorbing this pure original power. At a certain intersection where time, space and fate intersect, Jiang Wang let out an almost satisfied sigh.
outside the body.
Zhuang Chengqian was chopped into pieces by a sword and disappeared into thin air. In the deep cave, the beautiful woman who suppressed the divine power of the bones closed her eyes. She was supposed to be unconscious, but for some reason, she shed a tear.
The surging demonic energy rolled back, wrapping her around and heading towards the mysterious tomb of all realms.
After all, she is a real demon. After losing her puppet master, she can no longer resist the call of the tomb of the world.
At this moment, Jiang Wang, who had absorbed the origin of Zhuang Chengqian's new soul, had just taken over the control of the real blood puppet. He had no time to control her to return. He could only leave a thought in a hurry, and then watched helplessly as he watched the most powerful thing he had ever controlled in his life. With strong combat power, he fell into the deserted tomb of the world.
The cave is still there, but the ancient passage has been closed. If you jump from this cave now, you can probably jump to the very depths of the earth, that's all.
The influence of the Bone God no longer exists.
At this moment, there was only a handsome young man with long hair in the underwater cave.
Standing in the air, no one disturbs you.
He stretched out his hand and the Sauvignon Blanc sheathed into the ground flew out quickly and fell into his hand.
And inside the body.
Amid the rumbling sound, a crescent moon slowly rose from the dome of the Five Palaces, opposite the First Inner Palace. The two corners of the crescent moon are like two endings. The two sides of the crescent moon are like frost and snow, and the other side is like a long night.
Jiang Wang tapped lightly with his finger, and the second inner palace was opened.
"A person will face countless choices in his life, and your choices determine what kind of person you become."
There seemed to be a voice saying this in my ears.
Those are the words of an ordinary father.
Jiang Wang stepped into the "bright moon".
Countless options for the future stretched before his eyes.
And he has seen...
Wrong path!

[Volume 4·Heroes, Finale]
I will write a summary tomorrow.
