Chapter 46: Zhong Shengming who stepped off the altar
Get the thing that you get?
The Sword Demon said in a simple sentence, but it revealed no simple information.
What is the right thing? The sword demon is obviously a usurper who was contaminated and bred by monsters in the resurrection of the soul of Baili. Isn’t the deserving fate that is crushed by justice and crushed to pieces?
How come this is said?
However, when the sword demon said this indifferently, Wang Lu felt that he was not very surprised.
Because before that, I had already noticed it vaguely.
He just felt that compared to the sword demon standing in a usurpation position, the sword god beside Zhu Shiyao seemed too weak.
From beginning to end, what did that sword god do?
It was nothing more than grabbing the senior sister Zhu Shiyao as her follower and successor, and then almost all of them were defeated afterwards. It was really difficult to connect her with the Sword God who traveled across Jiuzhou ten thousand years ago.
On the other hand, the Sword Demon really had a somewhat peerless old demon style. He hid behind the scenes and used one sentence to sow the four sects of people dancing in his palms, opening the passes for him one after another. First, he defeated the guardians who suppressed the Sword Demon, and then released a large amount of negative emotions for him before the Eight Gate Trials. Later, Yu Qian even ran down to be a thug for him.
In the end, he defeated the strong with the weak and defeated the combination of Sword God and Zhu Shiyao. Every step during this period seemed like a miracle, and the difficulty was far beyond the comparison of Sword God.
Compared to the orthodox heir, this usurper's realm seems to be higher. And when you think about it carefully, the behavior of the sword god is quite difficult to justify. For example, why did he deliberately conceal his relationship with his senior sister? Even when the first fight, the senior sister failed to recognize him. Apart from the sword demon injecting his demonic energy into his body, is there no contribution from the sword god?
How did the senior sister’s glasses break...
After that, why did he suddenly choose to take over the body? Moreover, isn’t the behavior of taking over the body similar to the devil?
Now looking at it, it seems that the Sword Demon has given an excellent answer.
The sword demon turned his head and looked at Wang Lu: "You guessed that the so-called sword god is just a usurper."
Wang Lu sighed in his heart. This is completely different from what he said before...
"What I said before is not a lie." said the Sword Demon, "Indeed, he inherited the orthodox Zhong Shengming's lifetime, and I am just a demonized thing."
After pausing, the sword demon looked at Wang Lu with some fun and said, "But this does not change the fact that he usurpers. So, can you guess the truth of the matter?"
Wang Lu thought about it and gave an answer: "Did he usurpate the rebellion ten thousand years ago?"
"Very good." The Sword Demon nodded, "Continue."
The attitude of the sword demon proved Wang Lu's conjecture, but this idea was really unbelievable to Wang Lu, so his speaking speed slowed down.
"It's like a dynasty is replaced, the original emperor is overthrown, the rebel leader ascended the throne, sacrificed to heaven and earth, and controlled the dragon veins. For the people, it means that the dynasty has changed orthodox, but for the original emperor, rebellion is always rebellion. Then, you are the original emperor, and the sword god is the rebel who usurped the throne?"
Speaking of this, it seems that things have been sorted out, but Wang Lu feels that there are more things that cannot be explained.
"Will you be overthrown by that kind of guy? This doesn't make sense. Moreover, if you can resist the four or nine heavenly tribulations during your lifetime, you will never be able to accomplish a feat under the condition of personality splitting. Even if your Chaos Breaking Heaven Sword Qi is the most important thing to move forward and not be eroded by the inner demons and become a personality splitting. This doesn't make sense."
Seeing that King Lu’s reasoning was unsustainable, the sword demon said on his own: “The birth of the Sword God was an accident.”
"Wait, the amount of information in this sentence is a bit too large."
The sword demon said again: "It's not surprising that you can't reason the truth, because your understanding of Zhong Shengming is wrong, and wrong information naturally cannot reason the correct result... Baili Sword God is a false existence. If you recall it carefully, you will find that I have never mentioned this word on your own initiative."
It's a fiction? Where do you start?
"Your understanding of the Belle Sword God Zhong Shengming comes from historical records - this is natural. You are not a person who lived ten thousand years ago, so you can only understand it from the book. But if you were lucky enough to be born ten thousand years ago, you should have heard of another name, Belle Sword Demon."
"Baili, Sword Demon?"
"Zhong Shengming has been invincible throughout his life and is willing to be revenge, but he never regards himself as the right path. He snatches what he likes, and kills what he doesn't like. The immortal path he practices cannot be restrained even the nine heavens, let alone the ethics and morals in the world. A person who despises ethics is naturally a demon. The Baili Sword Demon has a prominent reputation. When Zhong Shengming was alive, countless people would tremble because of his name."
Wang Lu was completely dumbfounded. This was very different from the records of Baili's Ascension, and even went in the opposite direction.
Although there must be omissions in history books that have been tens of thousands of years, this principled error is rare for a peerless devil with a bad name in Jiuzhou. It is not recorded in history books. This...
"Zhong Shengming did whatever he wanted throughout his life, but his desires were almost all concentrated on the swordsmanship and he was not very interested in everything in the world. Therefore, he did not do much good or bad things, at least he was not qualified to stay in history books."
Wang Lu nodded to express his understanding. A biography of Baili ascension records the deeds of many monks who ascended over the past ten thousand years and the deeds of many ascension monks. A thick book is distributed to each monk. The length is actually very limited, and the amount of money spent is more on the skills practiced by monks. As for their life deeds, they naturally only choose one or two representative ones.
As for Zhong Shengming... In fact, the original text has almost no writing on his life story. In addition to spending a lot of space to describe the various incredible powers of the Chaos Breaking Heaven-Breaking Sword, the most common one is Zhong Shengming's feat of creating the world for Bailizhou and penetrateing the heavenly tribulation during his lifetime. As for his actions during his more than a thousand years of practice, no matter whether good or evil, it is not worth mentioning compared to the earth-shaking battle before his lifetime...
Wait, that is...
Thinking of this, Wang Lu finally got inspiration: "Is the so-called Baili Sword God spreading rumors?"
The sword demon smiled faintly: "Compared with the great merits of opening up the road to ascension, everything in Zhong Shengming's life is insignificant. In terms of merit, it is not surprising that there are more gods than demons."
Wang Lu said: "So that's the case, but that's just a misunderstanding from the world. Zhong Shengming himself should not be influenced by external things. No matter what the world criticizes, it has nothing to do with him. It's impossible for people to say that he has great achievements, and he suddenly becomes a moral saint."
"Didn't you hear the dictation of thousands of people and die without illness? The hearts of the world are powerful. Perhaps the mortals in the world are still very weak, but the monks who embark on the path of immortality are different. A tyrannical king can hold on to the throne by the curse of hundreds of millions of people, but no monk can withstand the condemnation of millions of monks. Similarly, when all monks think that a person who benefits all living beings is the sword god, it no longer matters whether he is a god or a demon."
The sword demon's smile was a bit sarcastic: "Zhong Shengming defeated the four nine heavenly tribulations, but was deeply retaliated by the heavenly tribulation. The soul disintegrated, the sword had no sharp energy, and the wishes of sentient beings in the world were contaminated by him. He could not help but become a god. When Zhong Shengming chose to resist the heavenly tribulation, he put life and death aside, but he did not want to die so unclearly."
Wang Lu nodded and expressed his deep understanding: "At least when he dies, his body is innocent."
"But he was already seriously injured and dying at that time, and was unable to eliminate his will. Instead, he was constantly eroded by his will. There were gradually more things that did not belong to him in his soul..."
Speaking of this, the truth seemed to be revealed. Wang Lu continued: "So he dispersed all the soul and set up the method of splitting yin and yang of swords. He experienced the transformation between life and death with ten thousand years of time, filtered the soul through thoroughness, reshaping the two bodies of gods and demons, and traced the origin with the original root?"
This reason seemed much smoother. Although Wang Lu still felt that there was some obstacle, most of the mystery that had existed in his mind had been solved.
The only problem is...
"Why should you resurrect yours? At least the sword god does not need to introduce foreign aid. After ten thousand years, he has occupied the orthodox position and suppressed you firmly. Why should you introduce uncertain factors to cause trouble for yourself?"
The sword demon said: "As early as ten thousand years ago, Zhong Shengming expected the possible changes in the future. Before his death, most of his soul was eroded by the power of voluntary power, and the host and guest had already been transferred. If this continues, the sword god will certainly be stronger after ten thousand years. Therefore, there is a regulation that the two bodies of gods and demons cannot directly contact. Even if they want to kill the other party, they must rely on the hands of outsiders, because this is my only chance."
"I believe you have also seen that there is nothing special about the sword god except the powerful power of the soul. If you directly fight against me, of course it is not an opponent, but once there are too many variables introduced, his chances of winning will plummet."
Wang Lu said: "Yes, I feel that his every move is very clumsy."
"Because he is just a child." The sword demon said coldly, "He was born before Zhong Shengming died and was contaminated by his will. He had no more than a month of consciousness, so he was naturally clumsy."
“…that is, we fight to the death with a baby?”
"Although it is a baby, after all, it is a baby who inherits Zhong Shengming's memory and most of the soul. Although he seems clumsy in dealing with people, he is not a fool. It is even more difficult to deal with in time."
"So... Then, can I answer a question? Since he is not a fool, what should I explain to take Zhu Shiyao? What is the reason for even deliberately damaging her glasses and blinding her vision as soon as I came up?"
"Well, finally got to the point."
The sword demon nodded, then grew up.
"Because the body-taking is something that is destined to happen, and if her glasses are not removed as soon as possible, she will soon see it, and then she will not be able to control it as a pawn."
"Then, I believe you can guess that not only the sword god needs to take over the body, but I am the same. Now after the battle between gods and demons, my soul has become complete. Next, I will find a body that can carry the soul, and you are the target I chose."
Wang Lu was silent for a while: "Didn't you say that after the fusion state, the soul and the body can be transformed into each other? Isn't it necessary to take over the body?"
"It is indeed not necessary, but it is not necessary to put the ethereal roots that are unprecedented and present, but to use the unsatisfactory soul to transform things, isn't it a waste?"
As the sword demon spoke, his body was filled with demonic energy, and his murderous intent was no longer restrained.
