In the Daguangming Temple, lavender flames fill the sky. Although the Samadhi True Fire is not known for its high temperature, most of the Manichaeans lying on the ground are shivering.
They are not because of the heat, but because of the fear instinct coming from the depths of their souls, which cannot be overcome without a very strong and determined will.
And the figure standing under the sea of fire was as dazzling as the Flame King.
"Surrender, or death?"
A faint voice fell from the sky. It seemed light and weightless, but it hit the hearts of all Manichaeans like a heavy hammer, issuing the most severe torture:
Worship fire, worship fire, so what should you do if you face someone who can make the flame surrender?
"Greetings to Mingzun!"*n
…
…
Prairie Royal Court.
Ever since the great shaman priest left and disappeared, Master Mani felt this kind of faint uneasiness in his heart.
Although no matter how much he thought, he could not figure out where the crisis came from, but it was this unknown that made him upset and angry, and he frequently sent people out to inquire about various information.
It's a pity that the return everywhere is normal.
This situation of clearly feeling that there was a problem but being unable to find out what the problem was really made him frustrated until...
"Leader, two envoys are here to see you!" An announcement came from outside the tent.
"What are they two doing here?"
Master Mani was stunned for a moment, and his heart suddenly rose. However, even the bad news was much better than no news before. His nervousness and anxiety were relieved a lot. After tidying up his appearance a little, he looked majestic. He spoke: "Ask them to come in."
Soon, the two envoys of good and evil came in hand in hand.
"You two should not have left Daguangming Temple at the same time,"
The leader first frowned and scolded them, and then asked, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
"Report to the leader,"
The two of them were half-kneeling on the ground, with admiration, fear, unwillingness, fierceness and other emotions intertwined in their eyes. It was extremely complicated. They replied in a very low voice, "%...@*￥"
"What?"
The voice was too low and Master Mani didn't hear it clearly, so he subconsciously took a step closer.
This time he finally heard clearly.
"Sir Mingzun sends his regards."
A faint purple fire suddenly appeared in the hand of Zaiguangshan Messenger, and gently sank into the body of Manichaeism.
The true fire of Samadhi is designed to burn the soul!
Master Mani only had time to leave a shocked expression before he fell to the ground slumped.
…
…
At this time, there was another grand performance going on outside the royal court.
In order to be able to control the state's power to refine the elixir of death, Chi Yao's plan was to become the state advisor of the Steppe Khanate.
The flags of the Khans on the grassland have changed in various ways, but they have never lacked the position of national master. Divine power and royal power often go hand in hand, especially in this world where great power can be attributed to individuals. The battles between divine power and royal power are quite frequent and fierce.
Because for grassland countries, they rely more on heaven for food, so they will rely more on mysterious sects, and their belief in gods is deeply rooted and cannot be eradicated.
In this regard, the method that the party in charge of the royal power came up with was checks and balances.
Hence the conflict between Manichaeism and Shamanism.
The struggle between divine power and royal power was transformed into an internal struggle between the two divine powers. The royal power sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, transcending the two as an arbiter.
I have to say this is indeed a good idea.
Under such circumstances, no matter which sect ascends to the position of national master, they can only act obediently according to the wishes of King Khan, because there are others watching behind him. If you can't do it well, someone else will take your place.
But unfortunately, Chi Yao is not willing to be such a national teacher.
Therefore, he did not go directly to the royal court to compete with Manichae leader for the position of national preceptor after conquering Shamanism. Instead, he went to the Great Guangming Temple first and brought Manichaeism under his command.
In this way, the two prairie religions, which were originally diametrically opposed, were integrated in his hands.
Of course, this kind of integration is very rough and relies almost entirely on Chi Yao's personal force and means. Without him, it is guaranteed to fall apart in an instant.
But Chi Yao didn't care. Who cares what the grassland will look like after he leaves? As long as I can live comfortably while I'm here, that's all.
Therefore, the last major thing after the two religions merged into one was to lead the divine power over the royal power again and make the national master the unique master on the grassland.
After integrating the two religions of Shamanism and Manichaeism, this matter is not too difficult.
Just show another miracle in the royal court.
Therefore, he first asked the top leaders of the two religions to return to the royal court, while he still walked alone, approaching the royal court step by step through the wind and snow.
This time the movement will be bigger.
…
…
In the center of the royal court, there is the great tent of the Khan.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong, there's suddenly a hurricane outside!"
A messenger reported in a panic.
In fact, even without him reporting, everyone in the royal court noticed the blizzard tornadoes that were getting closer and closer to them.
This time, Chi Yao activated the ice crystal butterflies with full firepower, and combined with the grassland that was already full of cold currents, it almost created a real natural disaster.
The howling north wind was howling like a pack of wolves, making many tents in the royal court tremble before it even got close.
The people in the tent certainly weren't doing much better.
No matter how brave the prairie warriors are, there is nothing they can do against such a natural disaster. The horses under their crotches would rather die than rush into the storm, and the arrows they shoot with all their strength are of no use to the snow tornado.
Just when they were at a loss what to do, someone suddenly shouted: "Look, it's fire!"
Everyone followed the sound.
There seemed to be a flame floating above the dozens of tornadoes dancing like silver snakes on the ice field.
No, not one.
But one after another!
Ten flowers, a hundred flowers, a thousand flowers, ten thousand flowers...
Gradually, they gathered into endless flames across the sky, as if they were fighting with the snowy silver snake below.
"Your Excellency!"
Upon seeing this, the Manichaean believers gathered in the royal court bowed down and praised loudly. Many soldiers and officials who did not know why also chose to follow.
As time went by, the sea of fire in the sky and the silver snake of wind and snow were getting closer and closer to the royal court. At this time, some people with good eyesight finally saw——
"Look, those snowspouts seem to be carrying a person!"
After a while, they finally saw clearly that the snowy silver snakes that were regarded as natural disasters were really just mounts, and the sea of fire that was regarded as hope was just a canopy above the man's head.
Just when they were inexplicably shocked and couldn't help but want to worship, the senior leaders of Shamanism and Manichaeism all knelt down, bowed to the ground, and shouted loudly:
"With the wind and snow as the driving force, and the holy fire as the crown, this is the God of Heaven! Welcome the God of Heaven to the world!"
