The already desperate face of the man in black suddenly turned to ecstasy. He struggled to sit up again, raised his arms high, and shouted feverishly with his mouth full of blood: "His Majesty King Di Gong! His Majesty King Di Gong! His Majesty King Di Gong!" Your Majesty, the King, will rule the world! Your Majesty, King Digong, will rule the world!"
The man in black knelt on the ground and knelt down crazily behind the bloody figure, looking almost fanatical.
"Prince Di Gong?" Qu Wuming couldn't help but feel his heart sink when he heard his shout, and at the same time, his face hidden in Wuwang's hiding robe was filled with incomparable anger.
Qu Wuming was very familiar with the name Di Gong Wang.
Many, many years ago, it was he who ended the disputes among the several island countries where Izumo Country was located and established the unified Izumo Country. Subsequently, he worked hard in Izumo Country and raised the living standards of ordinary people in Izumo Country, which was originally relatively backward, to a whole new level. In addition, he used iron-blooded methods to win over and conquer, and the people who were originally scattered in Izumo Country were All the monastic sects and many miscellaneous shrines were brought under his rule, and he became the first true king in the history of the Izumo Islands.
For the Izumo Kingdom, he was both a powerful ascetic and an outstanding ruler.
But to the Eastern Continent, he was a cruel demon with many crimes.
After he unified the Izumo Kingdom, he coveted the Eastern Continent across the sea and was rich in resources. From then on, he launched conquests against the Eastern Continent again and again. I don’t know how many ordinary people were affected by his invasion. And there were countless monks from the Eastern Continent who were displaced and lost their lives and stained the earth with blood in order to resist his invasion.
At that time, Qu Wuming was not yet born and had not personally experienced the changes of that year. However, in the process of practicing Taoism, I have heard many stories about that time that have been handed down more than once, and I have also seen many video records that someone deliberately preserved.
The crimes of King Di Gong are too numerous to describe!
However, at that time, the Eastern Continent was still under the rule of the Futi Kingdom. Compared with the powerful Futi Kingdom, the Izumo Kingdom is just a small place, and King Digong did not dare to challenge the behemoth of the Futi Kingdom.
So at the beginning, he could only choose to send envoys to express goodwill to the Buddha Kingdom and offer some low-value local products as tribute in exchange for generous rewards from the Buddha Kingdom. On the other hand, they quietly arranged for groups of ordinary people led by monks to secretly immigrate across the sea to some remote areas of the Eastern Continent to live with the local indigenous people in order to help those indigenous people who had difficulty living in remote areas. The gentle approach wants to slowly assimilate, integrate and penetrate. This method has been carried out for more than ten years, and it has indeed achieved a lot of results. Even today, there are still some places where more than half of the residents are descendants of the immigrants from Izumo Country. These places even have Monuments were built for those infiltrators back then, and the "great achievements" of the "ancestors" were worshipped!
However, this method is ultimately too slow, and the resources that can be secretly obtained from those places are pitifully few.
Not a day goes by without King Di Gong dreaming of bringing the entire Eastern Continent into his own territory. However, facing the powerful Futi Kingdom, he can only secretly despair.
Finally one day, he waited for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
One year, the Monster Continent at the other end of the Shifang Realm suddenly opened a space channel and invaded the Eastern Continent. This move became a trigger, bringing the entire Eastern Continent into a war that lasted for more than a hundred years. In turmoil.
After that, the Futi Kingdom that unified the continent collapsed, leaving only half of the country, while the other half was divided among many monastic sects, each of which divided its territory for rule. Many small countries and big cities controlled by monastic sects have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and they are constantly fighting against each other. Sometimes even those monastic sects would end up personally, and the conquests among the monastics would cause ordinary people to suffer heavy casualties and suffer unspeakably.
King Dimiya was so happy that he could hardly sleep at night when he saw the chaos in the Eastern Territory. He then visited almost all the shrines in the Izumo Kingdom, then organized his troops and sent out a large number of troops under the banner of establishing "Co-Prosperity of the Eastern Territory". The first invasion war was launched.
This time, unlike the gentle infiltration methods in the past, King Digong's army revealed their brutal nature hidden deep in their souls. In order to plunder resources and seize territory, they pursued a policy of killing, burning, and robbing everyone. Wherever they passed, there were almost no grass growing on them.
As long as any monks or ordinary people dared to resist, almost all of them were mercilessly strangled by the invading army. The surviving men were sent to mines and other difficult places to work until death, while the women were used as a way to vent their animal desires. Tools, life is worse than death.
Groups of people from the Izumo Kingdom were quickly brought to the ruins of the city they captured, and the real occupation and reconstruction began. They drained the spiritual energy of the fairy mountains and spiritual lakes that were rich in spiritual energy, dug out the spiritual veins, and transported them all back to the resource-poor Izumo country, along with the various minerals plundered along the way.
Later, perhaps they felt that the sporadic resistance encountered along the way was too weak. King Digong's invading army advanced too fast, causing the subsequent immigration and occupation speed to be far behind the pace of the previous conquest. King Di Palace adjusted his strategy in time, and in a short period of time he recruited and surrendered a huge army composed of local monks and ordinary soldiers from the Eastern Continent. Under the leadership of a few monks from the Izumo Kingdom, they attacked from all sides and occupied a This city has even supported many small puppet countries to squeeze the people and seize resources on its behalf...
In this way, in just two years, the "territory" of Izumo Country has occupied a large area along the coast of the Eastern Continent, and its area is almost several times larger than the mainland of Izumo Country.
The various sects in the Eastern Continent that were originally entangled with each other finally reacted. Under the mediation of the Futi Kingdom, which was still a behemoth even though its vitality was seriously injured, they finally stopped their internal fighting, formed a coalition, and started to fight against each other. The Izumo Kingdom invaders' counterattack.
However, at this time, the strength of the Izumo Kingdom was no longer what it used to be. In addition, not long after the coalition was initially formed, there were still many conflicts between them, making it difficult to unite them. The process of counterattack was actually extremely difficult, and the two sides fought continuously. After several years, they still have not been able to take back all the places occupied by the Izumo Kingdom.
However, with the continuous alliance of various sects and forces in the Eastern Continent, the Eastern Continent's side, which had a deeper foundation, gradually gained the upper hand. In the end, King Di Gong had to admit the failure of the invasion and led an army The remaining defeated soldiers returned to Izumo Kingdom, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback again.
Although the first invasion ended in failure, the resources that King Di Palace plundered were enough to make up for all the losses of the Izumo Kingdom. Even just a few decades later, it has grown again and become even stronger than before. powerful.
Immediately afterwards, there was the second and third invasion launched by King Di Gong...
It was not until two hundred years later that the unbearable Eastern Continent organized a powerful counterattack and invaded the mainland of Izumo Country in one fell swoop, killing almost half of the monks who were assisting King Di Palace at the time. The king was so seriously injured that he had to fake his death to escape, and this finally ended Izumo's invasion.
Although King Di Gong managed to escape in this battle, he ended up with hidden dangers due to his excessive injuries. He was unable to withstand his ninth Void Refining Stage Thunder Tribulation and died under the punishment of Heaven.
Qu Wuming originally thought that King Di Gong had already become the dust of history, but he never thought that his soul would be recalled by later generations using a secret method, and he would be secretly enshrined in a shrine and become the patron saint of a certain ascetic from Yun Kingdom!
Moreover, judging from the strength of this bloody humanoid at this time, I am afraid that even if King Di Gong has not returned to the peak of his previous years, he is still almost the same - he was weakened twice by the long sword and short sword of the man in black. The powerful sky-splitting arrow was actually tightly held in the hand of the bloody humanoid, unable to move even an inch!
Qu Siqiu couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this. He originally thought that after his cultivation reached the level equivalent to the Void Refining Stage, the Sky-Splitting Arrow he used would definitely be more powerful than before, but he didn't expect that after his improvement, the first He used it for the first time, but was manipulated by an unfamiliar bloody humanoid with his bare hands? !
Seeing that the bloody figure seemed to want to destroy the black feather arrow, Qu Siqiu hurriedly shook the arrow pot in his hand. The sky-splitting arrow that was originally unable to move in the hands of the bloody figure suddenly disappeared. When it reappeared, it had returned to the arrow pot safely. among.
The bloody figure also seemed a little surprised. The face without facial features seemed to lower its head and "look" at the empty hands, and then looked at Qu Wuming and the other three people opposite.
"Who sacrificed flesh and blood to summon this king?" The bloody figure was still changing at this time, and his facial features gradually became clearer. Although he had not spoken, his voice had already resounded throughout the audience.
"Your Majesty, the great King Digong, it's me! I'm your most loyal slave, Matsui!" The man in black was in tears at this time. He knelt and crawled a few steps to the side of the bloody figure, still kneeling respectfully. On the ground, he said with a trembling voice.
"Matsui?" The bloody figure looked down at the man in black kneeling at his feet. He seemed to be trying his best to remember something. After a moment, he nodded and said, "I remember you. Why has it been so long? Your cultivation level Nothing has changed?"
Seeing that the bloody figure remembered him, Matsui hurriedly replied excitedly: "Your Majesty, since you left, we have built a shrine according to your instructions. We hope that one day we can summon you back from that world like other patron saints. . But later, some traitors and careerists gradually appeared among your servants. They did not want you to come back smoothly, so they launched an attack... Later, although we successfully saved your shrine, our strength was greatly damaged. ...In order to ensure that your great will will not be forgotten by future generations, and to ensure that the Izumo Kingdom can return to your control as soon as possible when you return, we gave up the plan to improve our cultivation and ascend to the upper world, and divided I will go into eternal sleep in batches using the method of stopping blood and condensing life span. I just hope that when you return smoothly, I can still follow you, charge into battle for you, and expand your territory!"
"Yes." At this time, the bloody figure's facial features were no different from those of ordinary people, and even every hair had become clearly visible. He just nodded and said, "I have heard all your daily prayers. Your loyalty is commendable. ! When I come back, I will be rewarded based on my merits! However, you woke me up and summoned me here so early. If there is not enough reason, what awaits you will be my most severe punishment!"
"Your Majesty!" Matsui trembled and hurriedly explained, "The reason why I woke you up and summoned you to this world is because I have found a way to resurrect you and return as soon as possible!"
"Huh?" A trace of excitement flashed across the face of the bloody figure, and he asked in a deep voice, "What can I do?"
"The solution is the Holy Blood of the Ghost Servant, the Tai Sui Crystal Core and the Soul Nourishing Crystal!"
