"End war with war..."
Shen Qian was inexplicably shocked and kept chewing on these four words. Even two hundred years apart, he could still vaguely feel the determination to die together from behind.
"When young warriors of that era heard this statement, their reaction was roughly the same as yours, and I was not much different."
Wu Wei put his hands behind his back and smiled, "Zhi Ge, Zhi Ge, don't they all add up to the word "武"?"
"The existence of the three-yang sun-shielding formation..."
Shen Qian asked as if he remembered something again.
"You actually know this?"
When Wu Wei heard this, he glanced at Shen Qian in surprise, and then sighed, "I only learned about such secrets when I sat in the position of the Minister of Martial Arts. Who would have thought that the existence of the restricted area on earth was actually caused by my human race?"
"Although the ancestors of the human race throughout the generations have been shifting and hiding the location of the earth, it is just a basic strategy to ensure the continuation of the race. It is for the sake of hundreds of millions of ordinary people."
"Once you reach the level of top mountains, seas, and even princes, your focus will naturally be completely different."
"The simplest assumption is that if the first generation of nine kings stayed on the earth and never went out to explore, do you think that by now only two of the first generation of nine kings would be King Zhou Yi and King Zhenbei?"
Facing Wu Wei's rhetorical question, Shen Qian couldn't help but remain silent.
Yes, let alone others, at the level of King Jiangling, how could he not survive even two hundred years if he only wanted to survive and protect himself wisely?
The Emperor of Heaven ruled the Three Realms for endless years. Although the White Emperor disappeared after leaving the Heaven Realm, he reappeared in the early stages of the recovery of the earth's spiritual energy. This period also spanned at least thousands of years.
In a sense, King Jiangling is really the shortest-lived emperor and powerful man, not even as long as some mountains and seas.
Wu Wei didn't know yet that he already knew the truth about the death of King Zhenbei, but Shen Qian didn't try to expose it either.
"You haven't experienced that era. In fact, even my feelings are not very deep."
Wu Wei smiled with a complicated expression, "Wu Dinghou witnessed everything with his own eyes. He was just a small soldier in the military at that time, but because of chance, he learned many secrets. He watched the first nine kings throw themselves into the starry sky one by one. Never come back.”
"Even more than a hundred years ago, when ten doors were 'opened', have you ever thought about why there were so many 'doors' above level B at that time, but the final casualties were negligible?"
"Isn't it because most of the people who took action at that time were princes..."
Shen Qian suddenly shut up in the middle of speaking, already realizing the problem.
Why were most of the princes taking action at that time, but now, Shan Hai has become the main force?
Although there are restrictions on passing through the "gate", are the princes really helpless?
"At that time, the top warriors of the human race almost all chose to defend the enemy outside the country without hesitation. More than a hundred years ago, the group of princes and top mountains and seas who entered the gate without hesitation were the people of that era. In a final flourish, they succeeded, but suffered heavy losses.”
Shen Qian listened silently, as pictures and silhouettes seemed to appear in his eyes. He had not carefully understood the secrets of that era, but he could also imagine the price it would cost to close ten "doors" above grade B.
A-level "gates" are very likely to have prince-level combat power. Even B-level "gates" are dangerous places for top mountains and seas. Moreover, Shen Qian vaguely knew that there seemed to be more powerful "gates" above the A-level "gates". High level "door".
But according to the information read in the Earth Center Library, this kind of "door" is extremely rare. Except for one opening more than a hundred years ago, only the first "door" in the Earth Center City was rated at this level.
This is another reason why the first "door" was sealed layer by layer by the princes.
"Times are changing, and so are people's hearts."
Wu Wei said in a daze, "When King Jiangling and others disappeared one after another and never returned, and when the top experts who once guarded this concept died one after another behind the gate, some things naturally faded away. "
"After that time, many ancient powerful men recovered, and they also brought various different ideas to the human race."
"After the bloodshed, and under the subtle influence of some thoughtful people, another voice began to appear in the Prince's Council."
"Is this the beginning of the faction war?" Shen Qian asked softly, "Then what are the claims of these people or the other camp?"
"In my opinion, the composition of this group is quite mixed, and except for a few steadfast ones, everyone else has their own selfish motives, but overall, they have a negative attitude towards the 'Sect' and resistance to all races."
Wu Wei said calmly, "Some of them believe that the most fundamental way to solve the threat to the human race is to find the 'key' that may exist."
"As long as you find the 'key', whether you use it yourself or throw it away from the human race, you can win the final peace for the human race."
Shen Qian frowned when he heard this. Could it be that King Zhou Yi used the cause and effect technique to deal with him because of this concept?
For some reason, King Zhou Yi believed that King Jiangling knew the secrets related to the "key". This can also be seen from a secret Wu Wei once mentioned. King Jiangling was the only one who had come into contact with the so-called "Chaos". The strong man of "power".
Well, as a descendant who is involved with King Jiangling across generations, perhaps this mysterious causal connection is invisible in the eyes of King Zhou Yi, the prince who controls destiny. secret matter.
"Then what does King Zhou Yi stand for?"
Thinking of this, Shen Qian couldn't help but ask.
"King Zhou Yi has never revealed it. At least on the surface, he is just like me. He seems to be in a neutral position."
Wu Wei chuckled, "But if there is no attitude, how can it not be an attitude?"
Shen Qian nodded. At least he knew that King Zhou Yi must have his own plan, and he was also sure that the other party was not from the same group as King Jiangling and others.
At least, he wasn't on his side.
Taking a look at Wu Wei's white hair looming on his temples, Shen Qian suddenly realized how much pressure Wu Wei, the martial arts minister, was under.
Eight of the first nine kings died, and the remaining one could not be relied upon. This meant that the human race at this time had no strong men at the level of King Wu.
Ling Tianhou, who originally had the best chance of becoming King of Wu, turned out to be just an incarnation of King Zhou Yi. It's really ridiculous to think about it now.
"There are still some people in that group who believe that the human race must produce another powerful emperor in order to have the capital to deal with the catastrophe, and this hope obviously cannot be placed on ordinary warriors. Naturally, they will not protect the so-called low-level warriors. risking one’s own life.”
Wu Wei laughed at himself.
"Both Duke Yanshan and Duke Tianning belong to this camp?"
Shen Qian asked in confirmation.
"Ning Shouren is just a faggot."
Even though Mr. Tianning was a minister of one of the Nine Tribunals and a top prince, Wu Wei could not help but frown when talking about him and called him by his name, "In the era of the Nine Kings, he was still unknown, so he worshiped him After joining the sect of King Zhenbei, he always looked like he was ready to die. When King Zhenbei comes... you may not know it yet, but King Zhenbei has also disappeared for a long time..."
"I know." Shen Qian interrupted Wu Wei, "After I entered the wilderness this time, I met the teacher by chance."
"You met Gao Wenyuan? No wonder..."
Wu Wei, who was initially a little shocked, suddenly felt relieved and continued: "After King Zhenbei also disappeared, Ning Shouren came to the side of the 'God Emperor's Palace' and quickly rose to become the leader of the Martial Arts Department. Haha, I know how to make the best of the situation."
Ignoring the sarcasm hidden in Wu Wei's words, Shen Qian asked curiously: "What is the Palace of the God Emperor?"
"That is the princely organization founded by Duke Yanshang and others, and it includes most of the people in that camp. Judging from the names they gave, you should be able to tell what they are pursuing..."
Wu Wei sighed softly.
"God Emperor's Palace..."
Shen Qian chewed on these three ambitious words, and felt a strong sense of breaking away from the bottom warriors.
"How many princes are there among them?" Shen Qian asked.
"I'm not too sure. What I know so far is that in addition to Duke Yanshan and Duke Tianning, Qin Zhaohou and Qin Zun also abandoned their ancestral precepts and joined them. In addition, there are Lieguhou, Tianjianke and so on. By the way, before The defected Marquis Tuodong was also one of theirs..." Wu Wei recalled.
"Is the Sky Swordsman one of theirs too?"
Shen Qian was not very surprised about Tuodong Hou. After all, Tuodong Hou would not have been mixed with the Wu clan if he had not been selfish. However, the name of Sky Swordsman still surprised Shen Qian.
He had a very good impression of this maverick prince, and he was Lin Sanmo's teacher, so Shen Qian felt some inexplicable regret when he heard this.
"Later, I conducted a secret investigation and found that the Sky Swordsman probably joined the Divine Emperor's Palace purely for the pursuit of martial arts. I believe that when it comes time to uphold justice, the Sky Swordsman will not join them."
Wu Wei said firmly.
Although he didn't know why Wu Wei was so sure, Shen Qian still nodded slightly, then frowned and said, "Why have I never heard of the existence of the Divine Emperor's Palace?"
"They were hiding very well before."
Wu Wei shook his head with worry and said, "It was only in the past few decades that I learned about the existence of the Divine Emperor's Palace. What's even more frightening is that its influence not only radiates to the princes, but also encompasses many mountains and seas. For example, the Qianxing Society, which has great influence in China, is an affiliated society of the Divine Emperor Palace."
"Thousand Star Club?"
Shen Qian showed an unexpected look.
He didn't expect that this club that he rejected back then was actually related to the Divine Emperor's Palace.
But then Shen Qian was shocked again, "Thousands of stars have trained countless mountains and seas. If they are all their people..."
"It shouldn't be the case. As a secret organization, the Divine Emperor's Palace cannot blatantly develop its own power. There may be many of their mountains and seas in the Thousand Star Society, but there should be a large number of warriors who don't know about it."
Shen Qian thought the same, and then his heart moved, "Didn't King Jiangling and others establish a similar organization?"
"At least not at the princely level."
After Wu Wei finished speaking, he paused and said doubtfully, "But I vaguely heard that King Jiangling, King Taiyi, and King Qin Guang once created an association. Unfortunately, I have been investigating for a long time, and I don't know whether this organization is real. exist."
really……
Shen Qian's suspicion was confirmed.
It’s not that the King of Jiangling and others didn’t leave any backup behind. The name of this organization is called the Hall of Hundred Kings!
The secret controller of the Hundred Kings Palace seems to have already noticed the problems of the Qianxing Society. This can explain why the Qianxing Society obviously does not know the existence of the Hundred Kings Palace, but many of the Shanhai guards in the Hundred Kings Palace are from Selected by Thousand Star Club.
The Hall of Hundred Kings is constantly corroding the foundation of Thousand Star Society in an imperceptible way.
The core force formed by King Jiangling and others should be the Star Council in the Hall of Hundred Kings.
There are currently thirteen thrones in the Star Council, which means that there are thirteen powerful princes. Even if some of them unfortunately die, there should be more than ten princes in existence. This is undoubtedly a secret and huge force.
And after learning the true origin of the Hundred Kings Palace, Shen Qian was relieved a lot, at least he didn't have to worry that the incident on No. 56 was not an exception.
Even if the Divine Emperor's Palace is aware of the existence of the Hundred Kings Palace, it is impossible to penetrate into the core, and reaching the level of No. 56 is considered the ultimate level.
Even if the teacher is not from the Hall of Hundred Kings, he must be on the opposite side of the Palace of the Divine Emperor, so he has been fighting with Duke Yanshan for many years, and even turned into a confrontation between the north and the south.
Coupled with the teacher's allies, such as Qingcheng Hou, Yidao Hou and others, as well as princes that Shen Qian didn't know about... Looking at it this way, the power on his side is also very powerful!
Just the two senior brothers, Jiang Huan and Wu Jun, are already equivalent to two top princes.
After figuring out the joints, Shen Qian couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Of course there is another core question...
"Minister, whose side are you on?"
Shen Qian looked at Wu Wei and asked with burning eyes.
"As the Minister of Martial Arts, I cannot have any clear stance. This is what I call maintaining balance."
Wu Wei put his hands behind his hands and said softly, "But if the building is going to collapse... Wherever the human race is, I will be there!"
Shen Qian had actually known Wu Wei's tendencies for a long time. From some of the teacher's words and Wu Wei's help to him, this was also the reason why Shen Qian respected Wu Wei. He just wanted to get confirmation from Wu Wei. .
"Thank you, Minister."
Thinking of the past, Shen Qian bowed solemnly.
"You brat, stop being polite."
Wu Wei laughed and cursed, then waved his hand, "When I show up today, that's not what I really want to tell you."
"what is that?"
Shen Qian was startled.
"In five months, the 'Sea of Learning' will begin. Let me ask you, is it possible that you will not participate?"
Wu Wei looked at Shen Qian and said seriously.
"I have a reason to go." Shen Qian replied first, then frowned and asked, "Why did the minister say that?"
"Because Xuehai is a very special place. Even the princes are beyond your reach. If you are in danger again, I'm afraid no one will be able to help you."
Wu Wei sighed softly, "And it just so happens that... the opening of the world of learning this time will be very, very dangerous for you."
