High Above Chapter 608

   Just when Ian touched the Dead River Armed Forces, hazy mist vortices began to swirl in front of his eyes one after another.

  Endless lights and shadows interweave with blurred phantom fragments, forming different worlds and omens one after another.

  Different from the prophetic dream, and also different from the hazy prophecy eight years ago, this time, what appeared in front of Ian's eyes was one after another as real omens.

  And the first omen soon appeared in front of Ian.

It was a rather ordinary country tavern with a relatively clean signboard. The weeds at the entrance of the tavern were as tall as half a person, and there was even a huge hornet's nest on the tree next to it. Under the moist breath of the approaching rainy day, the bees were anxiously flying around. , disturbing the passers-by.

   From the overly natural environment, it can be seen that this place is located in Nanling.

   Especially the wasp that is half the size of a palm is obviously a specialty of Nanling, just like the 'Nanling Big Flying Beetle' which is about the size of a shoe sole.

There were only a few drinkers in the tavern, chatting with each other. They gathered in their familiar corners, drinking cheap ale mixed with distilled dwarven spirits, and discussing things that were either short-sighted or impassioned. topic.

   He could vaguely hear keywords such as 'Grand Duchy of Thorin' and 'Dead Zone'.

   "Have you heard? The Grand Duchy of Thorin is now completely dead!"

   "I know! My uncle has an apprentice who is from Grand Duke Sorin's side. He came back from his hometown a few days ago and was completely numb. She used to be a shrewd little girl, but now she doesn't eat all day long..."

   "It's really scary. I heard that the imperial capital used some top-secret extinction-style spiritual weapon to directly kill all the people in the Grand Duchy? Feiyandi dare not approach it!"

   "Although the Grand Duke's treason has made everyone worry and fear for a long time, but in the final analysis, it was still the territory and people of the empire... The imperial capital is so ruthless... If in the future..."

"Go, go, what nonsense are you talking about? We are all citizens of the empire, how can we eat that kind of weapon! Grand Duke Thorin is the one to blame for treason, and those who don't leave the Grand Duchy are equivalent to going to the dark with the Grand Duke. They deserve to die !"

   "Your words don't sound like human words, do you? You deserve to die. If you want you to leave your hometown, can you leave? What kind of beast..."

   "You fucking..."

   Just like every tavern, there are always people who are chatting and getting drunk.

  Especially when talking about political topics, if one is not careful, foul language pours out, followed by a huge verbal battle or a hand-to-hand fight.

   But this time, there was no fight. It was just that the two quarrelsomely changed tables, and the drinkers at other tables followed the topic.

   "Not to mention the Grand Duchy, even the cities around the Western Plains have become barren... It is said that in the middle of the night there, you can hear the wailing of ghosts!"

Now it turns directly to the topic of supernatural beings, and those who are talking are indeed a group of younger young people. They gathered together to chat mysteriously. One of the young businessmen took a sip of wine: "I was not a while ago. Did you go around with the caravan? I sneaked across the border and went to the Grand Duchy for a look!"

   "As a result, I saw a super big hole at the original site of the border town I was familiar with!"

   "I don't know whether the hole was dug out by people or collapsed. It is very deep, and there are gusts of hot wind blowing from it. Not to mention, it is similar to a hurricane cloud pillar, but it is very, very small."

   "In the middle of the night, the sound from that hole is very similar to the howling of ghosts... Maybe that's the truth of ghosts' crying?"

   "There is such a thing?" Others also became interested: "Is there no Great Rift Valley in the western region? And sure enough, I said there are no ghosts..."

  The young businessman answered a few more questions, and the topic gradually deviated from the Grand Duchy to Nanling's own news.

"Have you heard, on the Agate Stone Plain, what is the name of the original Lai'an leader now? There is a new sect over there, what is it called... Zunling? Or Chongling? It is said that it is the same as that of Yanjiang Ancestral beliefs are somewhat similar, but advocating revenge and family happiness..."

   "In short, many mountain people are believers!"

   Regarding this news, many people are cautious: "Where is the cult coming from? Except for the four orthodox religions, don't believe in any other cults. If you cheat money, you may die!"

"Yeah, didn't my aunt believe in some kind of cult after she had a miscarriage last time? Now the family is destitute, and my uncle has run away. She was kind and made herself human and ghost... It's really scary. what."

   "Oh, I can't say that... You said that the Dragon Blessing Church and the Iron Heart Church are also very good..."

   Obviously, the Dragon Worship Sect has a good influence in Nanling, and its reputation is also quite good, so no one refuted this point: "But they will also start a natural disaster war. These sects, the farther away from us, the better!"

  A visionary world of portents fades away.

  Although for many people, these unexplained omens did not bring them much information, but for Ian, who already knew a lot, the omen phantom this time was simply full of déjà vu.

  The prophecy this time... is obviously based on the time when I returned to Nanling as the lord after I left the warp space labyrinth.

   Moreover, it should be the future of oneself that takes the dead king as the path.

  At that time, Grand Duke Sorin decisively launched the plan of the dead king, and led his people into the center of the earth at the fastest speed. The entire Grand Duchy of Sorin has become a dead zone in the eyes of ordinary people, and there are basically not many living people.

Even Fei Yandi felt that the Grand Duke's methods were inconceivable, and he did not dare to cross his territory rashly. You plan.

   And myself... If there is no accident, the Chongling Sect over there in Lai'an was created by himself.

  Developing a sect as a lord can't be slow.

   Advocating revenge and family happiness...Although it sounds strange, it does conform to the two consensuses of the dead king's "stability and revenge". It sounds much better if you package it, and it is indeed an operation that you can do yourself.

   "Interesting... There is more than one harbinger fragment that can be seen this time."

  Ian deeply felt that his soul was floating in the river of time in accordance with the power of the foreseeable horizon, leaping over one branch of possibility after another.

  He can know that he can see many fragments of the future...either clearly, or vaguely, or a simple possibility, or it may be a 'concrete' of a guess in his mind.

  The first omen has ended, and his soul once again sank into the blue river.

  Ian sees fragments of a second future.

  If someone asks who is the strongest person in this world, then people in every country will say without hesitation that they are the fifth-level powerhouse in their own country.

  And if it is a country without fifth-level powerhouses, the answer of their citizens should be the fifth-level leaders of the major sects.

   That's it. The strongest may not be able to decide, but these answers themselves represent which forces are enough to be called "first-rate" in Terra—only forces with fifth-level powerhouses can be called great forces. Enough to affect the international influence of the entire continent.

   Compared with the leaders of many big countries, the leaders of the major sects are even more special.

  Because in addition to their respective bloodlines and true form inheritance, they also have unique psychic powers... 'clerics' who can be stably created under certain special circumstances, and 'prophets' in a certain sense.

  Only meeting the two conditions of having a prophet and a unique spiritual power inheritance at the same time is the basis of the 'Orthodox Church'.

   What can't be satisfied, even the Dragon Worship Cult, which can provide special blood inheritance, and the Iron Heart Church and Shadow Market Cult, which can provide special spiritual power, can only be 'cults'.

And in recent years, the "Spiritual Religion" that has developed rapidly in Nanling and the Western Territory, theoretically, should also be a "cult"... Even, it seems that it can't even get the inheritance and spiritual power, Even why it can grow to such a large size is quite puzzling.

  However, just some time ago, the Chongling God Sect showed the ability to give its core members "spiritual energy".

   And... the power of prophets.

   Terra 778, September 3rd.

   It has only been two weeks since the grand ceremony held by the Chongling God Sect at Guyan Peak, and the public opinion, both locally and internationally, has not yet calmed down.

It should be noted that a local sect that can provide the inheritance of the true shape of the blood is strong enough to attract many ordinary people to join—even if it is the Dragon Worship Sect who bluntly accepts only dragon blood as its core members, other ordinary people only accept it. Those who can try their luck to see if they can adapt to the sect of Dragon Blood can also be regarded as a strong force in Terra.

  After all, the sects in this world really have 'divine power' that can be bestowed upon them.

  However, being able to provide bloodline true form inheritance and being able to provide 'spiritual energy inheritance' are completely two levels of power.

  The former is equivalent to only giving a seed, and what it will look like in the end requires years of hard practice, and it also depends on talent and resources.

   And psionic power, once obtained, is power, and it is different from talents that are extremely difficult to change and resources that are difficult to obtain.

  Since one can obtain psychic powers, it means that one must have the relevant talent, and one does not need resources to grow up, it just needs to be relatively illusory, and everyone has the 'desire' and 'dream' of confidence.

   The most, the most, that is, the related 'creed'.

  The power that can give psionic power, no matter how complicated the conditions are, as long as it has this ability, it will be respected by all countries.

But just a while ago, the Spiritual Religion, which was originally regarded as a "strange native religion in the Nanling area" by the empire and Feiyandi, actually gave their core members, and There are two different psychic powers called "Knights of Protection" and "Messenger of Vengeance".

  —Two kinds!

   Chongling Sect's research on psychic powers was obviously beyond everyone's expectations on Terra, especially those two kinds of psychic powers were very practical.

The 'Shelter Field' of the 'Asylum Knight' can spread out a light blue spherical shield centered on oneself, and all the people inside the shield, no matter what kind of attack they encounter, the power of the attack will be offset by nearly half .

Although it is not like most shield powers, which can be harmless before the shield value is consumed, this kind of protection ability of strengthening defense and deflecting attacks has a miraculous effect when facing a variety of different attacks in positional battles. It lasts for a long time, unlike most shield powers, which can only block the first wave of damage at most.

  This sanctuary field can even be upgraded—some of the sublime spiritualists with excellent talents, when awakening this psychic ability, directly advance it to the second stage.

The shelter field at this stage can not only protect teammates, but also strengthen all people in the field, so that their strength, physical fitness and all-round resistance can be improved, and even the bullets and arrows fired in the field can It will be attached with a little psychic power, which can damage ghost-type enemies.

  The "Revenge Messenger"'s "Revenge Heart" is more mysterious. What has been shown so far is that it can deprive the experimental subject of the criminal's physical strength and bless him.

According to the introduction of Chongling God Sect, the enemies targeted by the Heart of Vengeance are those individuals who have harmed civilians and members of the sect. The Vengeance Messenger can target them within a certain range and extract their blood through attacks. Vitality as 'Retribution'.

   In other words, a real, pure damage that ignores defense.

  —Isn't this the 'ghost armor' and 'ghost'?

  When I saw this, it was different from the past. Ian, who could actively think while prophesying, couldn't help complaining in his heart: "It's basically taking out the ability of my dead king and changing the name. Is this also called giving spiritual power?"

"Well... I'm not wrong. Perhaps the spiritual powers of the major sects are essentially dismantled in this way. This is indeed a very meaningful research direction. I don't know if it was me who came up with it or whether it was Ya Debert figured it out."

  The prophet nodded, and he accepted his future research direction.

   Instead of wasting time in the wrong direction, he could have saved more than a year.

  The endowment of these two abilities alone is enough to prove the orthodoxy of the Spiritual Religion—although it is far from being comparable to the four major orthodox religions, at least the empire will never try to destroy it and cause trouble for the Spiritual Religion.

  Who knows if there is room for cooperation in the future? As long as the Chongling God Sect does not go too far, crosses the boundary set by the empire for the various sects, and makes the local lords feel that they are overstepping the rules... the empire will not take the initiative to cause trouble.

  No one expected that the local lord, Ian, was the priest of Chongling God Sect.

   And these two abilities are also the best explanation of the Chongling God Sect's own teachings of "asylum" and "revenge", which have attracted a large number of local people to believe in them.

  Of course, if it was just this, it would not be able to attract the attention of so many forces.

After all, in today's world, there are few organizations that can bestow psychic powers, but it is not impossible. A powerhouse who may be hiding behind the scenes.

   Dragon Worship has another ally. Most of them feel that way.

  Those who can develop and inherit psychic powers are basically powerhouses around the fourth energy level—and being able to create a new sect within the traditional sphere of influence of the Dragon Worship Cult undoubtedly has the acquiescence of the Dragon Worship Cult.

  In fact, they all thought that the Chongling Sect was a vest of the Dragon Worship Sect.

   It is a prophecy about natural disasters that really makes all the powerful and powerful forces face up to the Spiritualism.

  He predicted that the Half Moon Lake in Canaan Moore would usher in a natural disaster. If you don't want to lose your life, you should evacuate the local people as soon as possible.

   In this regard, the forces of all parties did not ridicule, disbelieve, or express any "skeptical attitude".

  Because there are really prophets in this world.

  So, they couldn't believe this kind of important event.

In particular, as a force that has obvious technological advantages and is now on the rise, why does the Chongling God Sect insist on releasing such a peaceful and powerful sect at the risk of being wiped out by many big forces as a "cult" after the failure of the prophecy? Does it have much to do with prophecies?

  Even the Huaiguang Church sent envoys to ask cautiously whether the Chongling God Sect was just a sensationalist, or did they really notice it? The Huaiguang prophecy did not predict this natural disaster, unless this natural disaster...

   There is another prophet.

   But here is the problem—the prophet cannot predict the prophet, even if there is a prophet in the Religious Spiritualism, why does he predict a natural disaster related to the prophet?

   Regarding this, the priest of Chongling God Sect even added related prophecies.

  He said that this natural disaster is related to the real dragon.

  In this way, it's not just the Four Orthodox Churches and Canaan Moor who pay attention to the Spiritual Religion—even the true dragons who live high in the sky and on Orbital Dragon Island cast doubtful eyes on the earth.

  —Related to the real dragon?

Could it be that…

  The instigator of this natural disaster is a...'Dragon Prophet'?

  Since the Chongling God Sect dared to say such words, which obviously blocked the future of the sect on this prophecy, Canaan Moore naturally did not dare not to make preparations.

  They relocated all the local residents, and sent several guard corps to blockade the surrounding groups, and even the fourth-level powerhouses put martial law around them.

   And the powerhouse of Canaan Moore's fifth energy level, the master of the storm above Takagi, the "Eternal Wind" Awei Liwen is also always focusing on this.

  Then... when the prophecy is confirmed.

   Terra 779, February 25.

  Canaan Moore·Half Moon Lake.

  Amidst the exclamations and roars of all the guards, an extremely violent earthquake suddenly occurred in Banyue Lake, which was unusually calm and had been inspected several times without finding any abnormal signs.

  If this is the case, it will not shock the well-trained elves, and the accompanying fourth-level powerhouses also have the ability to deflect and guide the slow release of earthquake force.

But just when Gugkayev, the fourth energy level powerhouse of Canaan Moore, who is called "Blade Mountain", was about to rush into the bottom of Half Moon Lake, an incredible geological change happened—accompanied by the skyrocketing Flames and smoke rose from the sky, and a pillar of golden-red lava erupted from the bottom of the lake. In Banyue Lake, the largest freshwater inland lake on Terra Continent, a giant volcano with a height of 4,000 meters rose directly!

The blade mountain was directly blown away by the force of the volcanic eruption, most likely it floated to the outer layer of Terra's atmosphere, and a huge amount of lake water was evaporated, forming an extremely thick cloud layer around, and the tsunami-like shock wave shook these hot The rain and storm hit the empty elf territory around.

In just an instant, Glo, the city of mountains and trees originally built on the mountainside of the Faft Mountains, was completely destroyed, and the ancient stargazing tower built on the mountain broke with a bang, and was swept away by the terrible storm. into the clouds.

  Lightning and thunder, howling winds, and volcanic ash mixed with rainwater turned into hot acidic mud, suffocating or roasting all creatures in the enveloped area.

  Everything feels like the end.

  In the struggling guard army, some people struggled to look up to the sky.

   Then, he let out a desperate sound.

"dragon!"

   That's a dragon.

  A dark golden dragon emerged from a volcanic eruption, and then rushed straight to the sky and galloped towards the outer space!
