chapter 0521 part 2
As an Innate Deity, the Queen Mother of the West didn't understand their behavior. In her view, her Attendants descending to the Mortal Realm were supposed to take care of those "pets!"
Those Attendants actually said they wanted to live with the pets and not return to K'un-Lun. In the Queen Mother of the West's eyes, how absurd! What humanity called love, in her view, was just an illness. To prevent this illness from spreading, she wanted to get rid of those Original Humans who were afflicted.
And Chi You was the Leader of the Original Humans back then. Naturally, he wasn't willing to see humanity face destruction. Thus, Chi You led the Original Humans to resist those high and mighty Gods.
The outcome goes without saying. The Queen Mother of the West used Heavenly Maiden Ya to trick Chi You, that lovesick fool. The earliest batch of humanity was thus annihilated. Chi You was torn apart by five horses, his soul was saved by Acha and is being nourished in the Underworld.
The Queen Mother of the West sized up Tang Song, lowered her gaze, looked at the chessboard in front of her, and closed her eyes. She didn't understand the love spoken of by Mortals, just as she didn't understand why this "Fellow Daoist" before her would be infatuated with such vulgar desires!
Tang Song put his hand into the white jade chess box holding the pieces, and picked up a piece. What he coveted wasn't the pleasure brought by the physical body, but merely cherishing this period of time as a human.
For an Ordinary Mortal, living past seventy is rare since ancient times. However, the lifespan of a Golden Immortal is measured in Yuanhui. One Yuanhui is 129,600 years! Some ancient Golden Immortals have lived for countless Yuanhui, even enduring several Era-End Calamities, living even longer than some universes. They are truly living fossils.
If an Ordinary Person lives long enough, sees enough, and experiences everything there is to experience, without a pursuit, they will become empty.
Just like Xu Fu in Fengyun, over a thousand years of time, he was gradually cut by the blade of time, forgetting his original intention and becoming a Madman who played in the Mortal World, calling himself a Deity.
Immortals with a strong state of mind and mastery over extraordinary great power naturally wouldn't allow themselves to fall into such a state.
However, over the long years, these Golden Immortals have experienced all the beauty and suffering in the world, seen many sights, and grown tired of many sights. In the end, these Living Fossils who seek nothing else have only the Dao left in their hearts! Like a real stone! Their situation is an obstacle for many Golden Immortals before crossing into the Great Principle realm. Generally, the People of the World call this Dao Assimilation!
When seeking the Dao goes too deep, one can no longer distinguish whether they are mastering the rules or being mastered by the rules. It's like looking at one's reflection in the water and unconsciously throwing oneself into it.
The demise of many Golden Immortals is not due to nirvana/parinirvana or human calamity, nor is it the exhaustion of lifespan, but rather their own Dao Assimilation, becoming a part of the Dao of Laws.
Although Tang Song's magic power is strong, his state of mind is not as profound as some True Immortals who have lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years. He doesn't want to become the kind of Ancient Immortal who spends the rest of their life solely seeking the Dao, nor does he want to undergo Dao Assimilation.
He also didn't know if, after experiencing long years, he would lose his desire for some things. He needed something to break the calm heart lake. Whether it was female beauty or ambition, they were just stones he cast into the center of the lake.
The ripples stirred up were also a warning to himself!
It was just that he didn't need to tell the Queen Mother of the West before him about these matters! Tang Song didn't say more. Seeing that the Queen Mother of the West had placed a black piece, he picked up a white piece and placed it on the chessboard.
Outside the Garbhadhatu Mandala Formation, a violent figure was like a rampaging wild bull. Chi You's hands were enveloped in flame energy transformed from boundless fierce flames. He smashed his fists, almost madly, onto the white lotus petals formed by the formation in front of him.
Without Selene's interference, Chi You's fists pounded into the white lotus petals in front of him. The fierce and powerful fist wind caused the entire white lotus to tremble continuously.
With every punch Chi You threw, it was like a mountain collapsing, shattering The Void. On the white lotus energy barrier, several extremely fine black space rifts spread.
Inside the Formation Space, three thousand Power Angels bore and shared the attack from Outside. The light feathers behind them scattered, breaking apart into pieces of light and dissipating.
The Garbhadhatu Mandala Formation was indeed full of profound mystery, but the gap in absolute strength could not be erased!
Inside the Formation Space, a half-crippled True Immortal was trapped. Outside, a peak True Immortal was continuously attacking. Both sides struck simultaneously. Finally, after the energy barrier formed by white light endured hundreds of punches under Chi You's nearly frantic attack, the giant white lotus in the Sky directly collapsed and dissipated.
Inside the Formation Space, King of the Underworld Cha Cha seized this opportunity and conjured her sword hairpin. That treasured sword performed Light Splitting Shadow Transformation, turning one into ten, and ten into a hundred. For a moment, the Sky was filled with piercing and flying sword light.
The sky-filling sword light that shot up met the light feathers scattered by the Angels, piercing through the bodies of hundreds of Power Angels, creating transparent Holes the size of bowls in their bodies.
Deathly black energy spread from the wounds of these Power Angels. The smooth wings behind them instantly dimmed and withered. Their bodies paused slightly in the Void Space for a few seconds before immediately disintegrating.
Countless white feathers danced in the air—
Seeing King of the Underworld Cha Cha soaring up, these Dao Soldiers Power Angels didn't know what fear was. They held bright silver two-handed cross swords in their hands and charged towards Acha.
Without the shackle of the formation, facing these birdmen with wings, Acha waved her finger. The sky-filling sword light, crossing left and right with her fingertip, directly shredded hundreds and thousands of Angels into pieces.
In the Void Space, Deckard watched the scene of Angels scattering feathers as they rushed to their deaths. However, he didn't retreat under the cover of the Angel Dao Soldiers. Instead, this scene seemed to ignite the heroic spirit within him, like This Old Man indulging in youthful fervor.
Deckard suddenly raised the silver cross sword in his hand with immense devotion and shouted to the Sky, "Heavenly Emperor, bless us!"
Shouting the slogan, Deckard swung his longsword, leading hundreds of Angels behind him. They transformed into streaking lights and charged towards King of the Underworld Cha Cha. Deckard's gaze was so resolute that even Tang Song on the Canopy Cloud Fragrance Chariot stopped his action.
This faith, these Angels, these Gods, and so on, were just tools he used to harvest the power of faith. The High-level Staff of the Heavenly Court all knew this point.
Although Deckard wasn't High-level Staff of the Tang Group, he had close dealings with Tang Song. Back then, the crowd of the Sacred Shield Brotherhood hid within the Church, merely using the Church's influence to revive the Sacred Shield Brotherhood.
No, why did you get so into character?!
It was because of those Angels. Tang Song's expression was a bit strange. It seemed he hadn't made it clear to Deckard that these Angels were just combat puppets he manufactured using the Dao Soldier System. Even if they were destroyed, it would only consume some materials and power of faith!
