————Replace immediately. Replace immediately. Come back after two o’clock——
A frog in a well, a bird in a cage.
The former can only see a corner of the sky, while the latter has lost the sky forever. It's hard to say who is worse off. But if you really want to say it, it is probably worse if you have never even seen the sky.
Everyone just thought it was ridiculous. Each thing they heard today was more horrifying than the previous years put together. One after another, they were shocked, and they all suspected that everything they heard and saw was a ridiculous dream.
So...is this actually the case?
They have been on this land since they were born, receiving support from heaven and earth and growing up. When they were older, they were taught by the sect and embarked on the path of cultivation. Their worldview has been set, their understanding of the world as it exists has been set, and it is hard to imagine what the consequences would be if it were overturned.
Clearly, it's working very well right now.
After learning that the southeastern border was not the center of the continent as they thought, but an "insignificant" part of the continent, a forbidden land that was eternally imprisoned because of its historical origin... everyone could not believe it.
This is ridiculous.
The education they received was that the Wuhua Sect was the chief sect in this continent, the leader of the righteous path who was respected by everyone, and the disciples of the giant sect who were respected by everyone in the world and moved forward with great responsibility... However, the reality is -
They are prisoners in a forbidden land. Not only was the southeastern border not the center of the world they once thought, it was just an abandoned forbidden land, an exiled existence. Beyond this there is another vast sky, or it should be said that the real sky is outside this deliberately hidden sky.
In the end... in the end...
If so, wouldn't their current situation be very dangerous? The former Shang Sect, now the remnants of the forbidden land, have been cultivating in this environment where the way of heaven is lacking for millions of years, and they are walking on the road of cultivation without knowing whether they can see the way forward.
If one day the monks from Middle-earth invade this place on a whim, they won't be able to resist it, right? Perhaps many people on their deathbed don't know why they died so suddenly and tragically in such a "prosperous" age - just like their ancestors, who died inexplicably and sadly.
In the past, they didn't know the truth. Although they felt sad because it was difficult to practice, they were never as filled with fear as they are now. It was like sharp knives hanging precariously above their heads, threatening to fall at any time and kill them.
Therefore, after hearing about this incident, my beliefs and cognition were shaken and collapsed, and there was also fear of unknown things, but more importantly, worry and panic. They are afraid of new situations that may come, of pressure and threats from high places, and of the comfortable high ground they are about to lose.
Even the usually very steady Ming Jing Zhenren's demeanor stiffened, as if he didn't know what to express.
The calmest among these people is probably Ningxia, who has known the inside story for a long time. It's such a big deal, I feel like the air here is condensing and I can't breathe... Well, okay, it's quite a big deal.
"Actually, everyone can relax a little bit -" Ning Xia couldn't help but murmured as she felt that the air might be clogged if she didn't say anything at this moment.
As a result, her words seemed to turn on some buttons, and everyone looked at her, with all kinds of emotions rushing towards her. Although there is no malicious intent in it, just looking at it is enough to make people restless.
So, please, don't look at me like this. Ningxia swallowed her saliva, and finally had to bite the bullet and said: "I accidentally fell into the middle earth before, and I feel that they have neglected this area. There shouldn't be any big problems in a short time... right?"
This is what she has observed in Sinancheng these days—Central Earth has really ignored the southeastern border for too long.
Some people will say, this is wrong. Doesn’t it conflict with what she said before, “The various forces in China are very afraid of keeping tabs on forbidden areas.” But in fact, fear and attention are different after all. The former is an attitude of thought, while the latter is an attitude of behavior.
What they fear about the southeastern border is not really the current southeastern border, but the shadowy giant shadow that is deeply hidden in this land. What they fear is not the storm that will arise in this already broken land, but the fear that the symbol that represents this land will come back to life again.
Therefore, they are afraid of this place. Even if the Shenluo Sect was crushed to ashes by that conspiracy millions of years ago, they are still afraid of the shadow that should have disappeared long ago. He even spent a lot of money to place an inaccessible ban on this place, and regularly visited the Sunset Forest to confirm whether the ban was functioning normally. Even though all the historical records are silent about the Shenluo Sect, all aspects reveal some unspeakable importance.
These behaviors may look like they are taken seriously, but in fact they are all false. They took no real action in the forbidden area from beginning to end. They knew there was a threat there, but they let it go because of habit and avoidance mentality.
Yes, it can indeed be said to be an escape mentality.
China has placed the Shenluo Sect so high that they can no longer see its original position clearly. Because we can’t see clearly, we become more fearful, and because of the unknown, we become more fearful. After years of preparation, the two-dimensional symbols will become unforgettable marks over time and become a piece of my heart that can no longer be dug out.
If you want to completely remove it, you have to remove the flesh and blood, and you can completely recognize it without fear.
China-Earth is in such a state of mind. Therefore, in these years, they can be said to have a complete evasive mentality towards the forbidden area. They have intentionally or unintentionally ignored that although they often send people to stabilize the forbidden area, they never care about the movements of Sinan City, nor do they think that one day the forbidden area will be removed from the forbidden area. What about liberating them... They deliberately ignored this question.
Maybe all this needs an opportunity. A reason for them to deal with the remaining root of the disease.
So the reason in the original book... is probably Wang Jingxuan. In the original book, Wang Jingxuan revealed his identity as the Son of Destiny and accidentally revealed his Shenluo Sect skills. China used this reason to invade the southeastern border with various forces.
At that time, there was no spiritual recovery in the southeastern border, and it was completely destroyed without knowing the reason. Only those cartilage heads that had surrendered to the enemy early in the morning were left, but the Shenluo Legacy was completely destroyed by this point.
——This is the final ending of the southeastern border area in the original book, and it is also the direction that the world should have originally gone. I just don’t know what variables happened in the middle that led to many changes in the world.
But overall it's a good thing, everything is developing in a good direction.
