I was the Heavenly Emperor in ancient times

Chapter 38 When the Sun No Longer Rises

The moment Li Jun landed, he tore apart the two peach trees that formed the Ghost Gate.

However, the "door" gradually reappeared.

The peach tree's roots took hold in the water and continued to grow towards the ground. Li Jun looked at the reflection in the water and saw two other peach trees instead.

They even saw Zhou Shentong's shadow under those two peach trees.

"Shen Tu and Yu Lei!"

"Zhou Shentong".

The real ritual and its origins are not here, but with Zhou Shentong.

However, Zhou Shentong was also wary of Li Jun. Li Jun did not go through this door to reach the Changsheng Temple, but instead fell directly into the depths of Zhangwei Mountain.

Zhang You seemed to have known that Li Jun would come, and he called out to Li Jun.

"Li Jun!"

"Why did you get involved in this? What price are you willing to pay?"

"You are a person with double pupils, a true reincarnation of an ancient immortal god. In such a great era, do you really want to waste your power at the very moment when all of this begins?"

Zhang You made no attempt to hide his envy, or even jealousy, of everything Zhou Shentong and Li Jun possessed.

"You can't stop it."

"The Gate of Ghosts has been opened, Zhangwei Mountain and Zhulong have awakened, all living beings have entered the cycle of reincarnation, and immortals and gods will return."

"No matter which one it is, you'll block it..."

The words have not yet fallen.

Li Jun casually flicked his wrist, and streaks of azure feathers covered Zhang You.

However, at this moment, Zhang You's mental state was pushed to its limit. He reacted instantly, his body transforming into a shadow form to dodge Li Jun's attack, and a series of jade studs were stuck in the ground.

After dodging the attack, Zhang You was overjoyed and even began to think that his opponent was nothing special.

However, the green feathers then stood up one by one, and the light formed a halo that trapped them inside.

Under the beams of light, Zhang You's shadow was immediately stretched out in more than a dozen streaks, instantly revealing his true form.

Then, a dozen or so azure feathers stirred up a storm, instantly tearing Zhang You to pieces.

"what!"

Zhang was torn to pieces, his body scattered all over the ground.

But in the end, a flame ignited within his body, saving his life, and he vanished as a fleeting shadow.

Like the shadow of the candle of yesteryear, he fled into darkness, barely clinging to life, and will become, like him, a monster that cannot see the light of day.

However, perhaps because he had talked too much earlier, he attracted Li Jun's attention. At this moment, Li Jun still did not let him go and attacked Zhang You again, seemingly wanting to kill him.

Zhang You was filled with remorse at this moment and cried out.

"Immortal Lord, save me!"

Unlike the last time when Zhou Shentong simply abandoned Zhang You in Zhangwei Mountain, Zhang You is now a much more important pawn, so he immediately stepped in to save him.

In the reflection of the lake, a peach spirit emerged from a tree, pulling Zhang You from the real world into an illusion.

However, Zhou Shentong's intervention created a gap in the ceremony he was presiding over.

Li Jun's attack, which seemed to be aimed at Zhang You, was instead redirected to chop down a peach tree nearby.

With a loud crash, the tree was severed from its roots. This time, it was truly cut off from its roots, severing its connection with Shen Tu and Yu Lei. After that, the peach tree stopped growing.

In the reflection, Li Jun could vaguely see Zhou Shentong seemingly cursing loudly.

However, the door behind him slowly closed, and he could no longer hear what he was saying.

Li Jun withdrew his gaze and looked at the others who remained, a sight that chilled them to the bone.

"The door is closed."

"Zhang You ran away and betrayed us all."

"It's over, it's all over."

These people who were affiliated with the Changsheng Temple weren't even considered outer disciples. They watched as Li Jun descended from the sky and skinned Zhang You alive. The Ghost Gate, which had just caused such a commotion, closed again, and they all fled in terror.

However, although the Ghost Gate of Dushuo was temporarily closed, the overwhelming ghostly figures gathering here did not dissipate.

They gathered densely inside the temple, lingering in the shadows.

These people had just escaped when many of them encountered these ghostly things.

Strange cries and screams rose and fell.
-
Li Jun came to Zhangwei Mountain for the purpose of visiting Zhulong.

However, the chaos here came one after another, leaving him unsure of where this incident would ultimately lead.

in the dark.

Li Jun walked across the empty platform. The television screen above was still repeatedly broadcasting the news about Ellem City being renamed Dushuo City, and the Shen Tu Yu Lei Zhen Chang He Zhou.

Perhaps it was due to the lighting, but the news anchor, who was originally beautiful and charming, looked somewhat eerie at this moment, like a heavily made-up puppet ghost tempting the living.

Especially since this face can be seen at any distance, it makes people feel that the other party is like a ghost, always following them.

The phrase was repeated over and over again: "Please kneel on the ground immediately... Please kneel on the ground immediately... Please kneel on the ground immediately..."

Walking through the streets, the whole area was in chaos, with vehicles piled up and pedestrians looking like ghosts.

Almost all the pedestrians were holding up their phones, which were playing videos of a candle, and they were chanting something.

“The shackles of the underworld are lifted, and the gates of heaven are opened wide.”

"Yu Lei held a rope to bind the nine demons, and Shen Tu wielded his sword to slay the three calamities."

"The spirit falls from the constellation Ji, and the soul wanders with the Big Dipper."

The vehicles on the road moved slowly with their lights on, and the incantation was played repeatedly from the stereos.

Overnight, countless images of Shen Tu and Yu Lei, with their eerie faces covered in talismans, were suddenly plastered on shop entrances, community gates, residential gates, car doors, and in every corner.

Li Jun stood at the entrance of a bar covered in foreign languages, looking at the brand-new posters of Shen Tu and Yu Lei, with two Chinese characters written on either side.

"The spirits and monsters of the five directions, quickly leave your doors and windows."

Looking at these strange scenes, Li Jun couldn't tell whether he was walking in the mortal world or the underworld.

Li Jun temporarily closed the Gate of Ghosts of Dushuo, but he still couldn't stop the city from sliding into another world and Zhangwei Mountain.

It's only the first day, and at this rate, it's almost inevitable that it will be devoured.

At last.

Li Jun sat atop a tall building, overlooking the entire city, waiting for dawn.

However, before that, Li Jun wanted to see what would happen next.

If he continues to wait for the One-Eyed Ghost Kingdom to emerge and for the Candle Dragon to disintegrate, will the situation improve or worsen?

His double pupils opened, and the sound of a bluebird rang in his ears.

Li Jun vaguely saw the divine bird circle around him several times, and images seemed to cross time from the future and fall into his eyes.

In the first scene, Li Jun saw Zhou Shentong standing in front, leading several Taoist priests. They walked towards the depths of Zhangwei Mountain, with all the disciples of Changsheng Temple following behind, carrying prayer flags. They found something deep in Zhangwei Mountain and began to perform a sacrifice. Then, Shen Tu and Yu Lei also appeared.

However, this scene does not appear to be a sacrifice to Shen Tu and Yu Lei, but rather Shen Tu and Yu Lei calling upon some being, but in the end, it seems that they did not succeed completely.

Li Jun thought to himself, "This must be what Zhou Shentong is doing or preparing to do at this very moment."

The second act depicts black water flowing down from Zhangwei Mountain, enveloping the entire city, and the Peach Tree Ghost Gate appearing.

In the third scene, the One-Eyed Ghost Kingdom emerges from Zhangwei Mountain, and chaos erupts completely. But at this moment, Li Jun sees a familiar figure.

He thought to himself, "Zheng Shiliang?"

Previously, it was only after the other party guided him that he saw the manifestation of the One-Eyed Ghost Kingdom.

Afterwards, Li Jun thought that he had either left or was outside the city and hadn't had time to come in yet. He didn't expect that he was also trapped in the city. He just didn't understand why he appeared in the scene in which he foresaw good or bad fortune.

However, since the other party appeared together with the One-Eyed Demon Kingdom, he guessed that the two might still have some kind of unbroken connection.

In the fourth scene, Li Jun saw the shadow of the Candle Dragon once again. He saw the crack in the sky fall, the shadows from all directions of the earth gather, and he even heard the sound of the rolling river deep in the earth.

Everything transformed into a dragon's roar originating from the ancient primordial era.

Li Jun: "What does this mean? Has it been decomposed, or hasn't it been decomposed?"

The scene ended, jumping to the final scene.

Finally, Li Jun saw the gates of the underworld open, and he entered them.

The bluebird indirectly told him that things had taken a turn for the worse.

But he will get what he wants, as long as he doesn't miss the chance to enter the gates of the underworld, then misfortune will turn into fortune.

Li Jun opened his eyes, and the Gate of the Underworld reappeared in his mind.

"Yellow Spring."

But when he stood up, Li Jun noticed that his clothes seemed to have gotten a little bigger, but it also seemed like an illusion.

Li Jun didn't want to think about it, but he still felt a dark cloud hanging over his heart as he couldn't sleep.

The sky was still not bright at all; in fact, it was even darker.

However, the scene they had just witnessed was urgent. Zhou Shentong and Zhang Youke did not slack off at all; they were constantly moving and preparing.

Li Jun stopped waiting and flew towards a certain place in the city.
-
Luo Zhen and Zhao Nange turned back after reaching the outer ring road, but some unexpected events occurred on the way.

One of the group members was accidentally bumped into and then started talking nonsense, as if he had become a different person. He even tried to jump off the vehicle halfway through the journey to another place.

They took the man back to their residence, and a doctor came to examine him, but his condition did not improve.

Standing before the bed, the group looked at the man who was in a state of madness.

Luo Zhen said, "He's possessed."

Zhao Nange turned her head and asked, "Is there any way?"

Luo Zhen suddenly remembered something, took out the USB drive he had obtained earlier, and turned on the computer to watch it. The computer was playing a segment about the confinement and expulsion of souls from the soul experiments conducted by the Changsheng Temple.

Luo Zhen looked at Zhao Nange and asked her to fetch some lamps.

He then found a room, opened the window, tied the man to a chair, and after they went outside, turned on all the lights.

The man's shadow twisted and turned, accompanied by a strange cry, as part of the shadow broke free and escaped outside.

Then, the man woke up.

However, he still seemed somewhat dazed and confused, and even asked Luo Zhen how he ended up there.

Although the soul was expelled, the other party still took some of his things, including some memories.

Luo Zhen sighed: "It's alright, if it had dragged on for a few more days, it would have been really dangerous."

Others said, "This thing is too weird."

But this is just the beginning; who knows what even stranger things might happen next?

Luo Zhen comforted the team member on the bed, then left and returned to the side hall. At this moment, Zhao Nange had just received some news and came to report it to him.

She said, "That light has been confirmed; it is indeed Li Jun."

Luo Zhen: "Then, he must have done something after he showed up."

Zhao Nange said, "I heard that he closed the Gate of Hell of Dushuo and killed Zhang You."

Luo Zhen was shocked: "Zhang You is dead?"

Zhao Nange: "I heard it's like he's dead."

At that moment, an answer came from the corner.

"He's not dead."

"Zhou Shentong saved him, and I took advantage of that moment to close the door."

"Otherwise, the entire city will become part of the underworld and Zhangwei Mountain tonight."

Luo Zhen and Zhao Nange looked towards the corner together; they actually knew who it was just from the voice.

Luo Zhen asked, "The door is closed, then..."

Seeing Luo Zhen's joyful expression, Li Jun guessed what he was thinking: "Things aren't that simple."

Li Jun slowly stood up, walked little by little to Luo Zhen, and pressed the play button on the computer on the table.

Those videos were played again, and after watching them, Li Jun said something.

"The reason why Changsheng Temple wants to create sacrificial jade may also be that it wants to find a certain sacrificial jade."

Luo Zhen hurriedly asked, "What is sacrificial jade?"

Li Jun said, "In ancient times, some people or groups made a pact with demons, ghosts and gods. If this pact was presented in the form of a physical object, it would be a jade offering."

“Essentially the same as the altar on Taoshan Island that I had you build before, but the altar is just a way to communicate with these beings, while the sacrificial jade is on a higher level. You can think of it as a kind of contract with demons and gods.”

"You have received information that Zhou Shentong wants to continue the agreement between Shen Tu and Yu Lei and a certain demon god in the underworld. This agreement will naturally be manifested through the method of offering jade."

"And now it seems he's not far from getting it."

Li Jun obtained some information from Luo Zhen, and combined it with the images he had seen, he roughly understood what the Changsheng Temple was trying to do.

Luo Zhen remained silent for a long time after listening, before finally speaking.

"So, does this mean that the Changsheng Temple and Zhou Shentong are really going to establish the Dushuo Ghost Gate, recreate the supernatural powers of Shen Tu and Yu Lei in ancient times, and create a cycle of reincarnation and the underworld that controls the life and death of everyone in the world?"

Li Jun raised his head and looked at Luo Zhen.

"Instead of worrying about this, you should worry about something else."

Luo Zhen said, "Isn't this the worst thing?"

Li Jun: "The worst-case scenario would be if Zhulong were to awaken in its complete form."

Luo Zhen asked, "Isn't the Netherworld behind the Candle Dragon?"

Li Jun told him, "Yes, but the Netherworld is only a fragment of Zhulong's power. Believe me, you don't want to see what a real Zhulong with all its power would look like."

This sentence immediately left Luo Zhen completely at a loss for how to respond.

The Netherworld he feared, the being that could drag all living beings into the cycle of reincarnation, leaving everyone unable to live or die, was merely the incomplete power of the Candle Dragon.

If Luo Zhen hadn't been so mentally resilient, he really wouldn't know how he would have continued.

Li Jun didn't say anything more; he just told Luo Zhen.

"Don't rush, take it one step at a time."

Li Jun walked past Zhao Nange, who immediately made way for him. Li Jun went to the window and looked out at the dark city.

"I want you to do three things for me: save this city, save yourselves, and you could even say save everyone!"

Luo Zhen didn't ask about the conditions at all, but directly asked what the matter was.

"What three things?"

Li Jun pointed at Zhangweishan Fangxiang: "The first thing I'll do is close the Gate of Hell of Dushuo, so this city hasn't completely merged into another world yet. You and the people in the city still have a chance to leave, but you have to hurry."

"After the Changsheng Temple opened the Dushuo Ghost Gate, the power of Zhangwei Mountain and Shen Tu and Yu Lei completely invaded this place. The Yin and Yang realms converge here, and it is only a matter of time before they fall into another world."

Luo Zhen was not disappointed, but rather overjoyed.

"Can we still get out?"

Li Jun nodded: "After the sun comes out, you will have a whole day, but I estimate that you will only have one day. Once it gets dark, you may not have another chance."

Luo Zhen said, "I will find a way to notify everyone in the city."

Luo Zhen already felt that everything was worth it after this first thing.

If it weren't for Li Jun, the entire city would probably have entered another world last night. Only then would everyone in the city know what it means to be helpless and unable to get help.

Because heaven and earth have already left them and gone far away.

Li Jun then went on to talk about two other things, and he said them all in one go.

"The second thing is to make me a sacrificial jade."

"The third thing is to find a person named Zheng Shiliang."

Luo Zhen looked at Zhao Nange, who said he had remembered all the details, and then he nodded.

"Don't worry, we will do our best to do it."

"No, I will definitely do it."

However, he still had questions about the third thing: why find such a person?

Li Jun: "He saw some ancient scenes leaked from the Yellow Springs and also experienced an ancient ritual. I guess he may have made some connection with the power of the ancients."

Li Jun didn't finish his sentence, but just from this part, Luo Zhen already felt that this person was enough to warrant his attention.

Finally, Li Jun said.

“Be careful with the last two things. If they get out, the Changsheng Temple’s attention will shift from me to you. You know how dangerous that is.”

This point can be said to have been proven by Zhang You before.

Li Jun's gaze shifted from Zhou Shentong and the peach tree to him in an instant, and he skinned him alive.

Gradually, dawn broke.

As the light streamed in through the window, Li Jun's figure had already vanished from the window, his whereabouts unknown.

Luo Zhen walked to the window, looked up at the sun outside, and saw a strange sight.

The sun came out, but the city remained dark, not bright.

Moreover, the sun appeared gray from the ground.

Zhao Nange stepped forward: "It's starting!"

She said something Li Jun had said before: "The realms of Yin and Yang meet here."

Luo Zhen nodded: "Time is running out."

Then he walked outside.

the city.

The countdown has begun.
-
Luo Zhen found someone, who left and entered a building where he met another person. "The Temple of Longevity can't control everything."

“Li Jun with double pupils is in the city, as you know. Zhang You almost died, and Zhou Shentong didn’t dare to show his face. What are you afraid of?”

“Once it gets dark, everyone will be sacrificed by those two inhuman bastards, Zhou Shentong and Zhang You. That’s hundreds of thousands, even millions of people. Do you really want to do that?”

"You want to live forever, you want to join the Longevity Cult, but do you really want to go this far?"

"You were at least once a part of humanity, weren't you?"

In the early morning, the television broadcasts that had been repeatedly showing the story of Shen Tu and Yu Lei's Suppression of the Changhe Curse were replaced with news that the exit passage had been opened.

In fact, some people had already started rushing outside as dawn broke.

Waves of people and vehicles converged on the road, and some people couldn't wait to abandon their vehicles and walk out along the road with their families.

Thousands of people fled in panic, seemingly never wanting to relive the scenes of the previous night.

When they were far away from the city of Dushuo and looked back at it.

Vaguely.

They saw two enormous shadows looming over the city, seemingly the mythical figures Shen Tu and Yu Lei.

But upon closer inspection, the two figures, locked in a fierce confrontation, also resembled Zhou Shentong and Li Jun.

Li Jun appeared on an iron tower not far from the highway leading out of the city, as if he had anticipated something and arrived ahead of time.

Zhao Nange was also on the tower. She had been sent here by Luo Zhen to carry out a mission, as this was the only place in the city where there was still a signal.

Li Jun appeared suddenly, standing on the edge of the iron tower, looking down at the earth like a big bird. He had gradually gotten used to this perspective, and no matter how high the height was, it did not bring him any fear.

Zhao Nange guarded a piece of equipment. After glancing at it, Li Jun didn't say anything and continued to guard the equipment closely, refusing to leave for even a moment.

Dusk hour.

The closer we got to this moment, the more people there were. Even though there was plenty of time during the day, it seemed like everyone was stuck at this particular time, and chaos ensued.

Everyone thought there was still enough time, but with so many people crowding together, all sorts of incidents occurred, and in the end, a large number of people were still unable to get out when only a sliver of the sun remained.

As the sunlight grew weaker, the people on the roads leading out of the city became increasingly panicked.

"The sun has set." On the blocked highway, one figure after another got out of their car, pointing at the sun and shouting.

"Quick, quick, let's go over there." Someone carried the child out, and the wife followed behind, running along the side of the road.

"It's too late." As darkness fell, these people seemed to have a premonition of something.

And indeed, reality unfolded exactly as they had predicted.

As night fell, strange movements began to occur frequently on Zhangwei Mountain in the distance, and various chaotic phenomena appeared as a result.

However, the chaos was no longer the chaos of the human world.

Some people saw beams of light appear on the dark mountaintop, as if something was emerging and connecting together, slowly making its way down the mountain.

Others saw black shadows swelling in the darkness and then gradually surging down from the depths of the mountains. They looked like wild beasts, but their size was far too enormous.

This is what you see and hear. From the deep darkness, all sorts of strange noises and cries keep coming, which are enough to send chills down your spine.

"Did you hear that?" Beams of light shone into the darkness, but they didn't extend very far; they seemed to be swallowed up after a certain distance.

"Something's come down from the mountain! It's a monster!" A long line of people gathered on the road.

"Are they coming for us?" The crowd was dense, but no one felt safe at all.

“I told you to leave earlier, but you said you couldn’t leave like this. Now we can’t leave either, sob sob sob.” Some families started arguing.

"Let's not talk about it anymore, let's get out of here!" No matter what, everyone still wanted to survive, so they continued to walk outside.

At this moment, the eerie shadows in the city also followed in from the darkness, and everyone was terrified and ran forward as fast as they could.

But misfortunes never come singly.

An even more terrifying sight appeared on Zhangwei Mountain.

One after another, glowing shadows surged toward the sky, emitting shrill cries that tore through the clouds.

A large amount of light and shadow tore through the air and collided together.

"Roar!"

Then, a huge "fire dragon" appeared in the sky, twisting its body and circling high in the air, dyeing the dark clouds above red.

Streaks of red light emanated from the gaps in the clouds, flashing intermittently, like the crimson lightning created by the opponent.

The crimson "lightning" struck the earth, illuminating the faces of the people walking and running on both sides of the road, turning them a fiery red, like a shining omen of death.

Everyone was captivated by this scene, which was far more significant than the commotion before it.

The appearance of a legendary creature like a "dragon" brings a level of pressure that is unmatched by anything else.

"What is that?" Many people didn't see the beginning of the scene; they only saw something disappear into the clouds, its head and tail nowhere to be seen.

"Dragon!" But some people saw it and shouted it out, though their voices lacked excitement and joy.

"Dragons have appeared?" Faced with such a surreal existence, the ordinary people who were "lucky" enough to witness the beginning of the extraordinary era were filled with nothing but fear.

“It’s flying in the sky, it’s watching us, what is it going to do, what will it do…” Fearful voices and speculations rose and fell. The dragon soaring in the sky, its restraint only making it more frightening.

Finally, the "fire dragon" poked its head out from the clouds and launched its first attack.

It roared again, and then a powerful suction force came from high above.

However, the suction force is not directed at people or objects, but at anything that can emit light.

All the light seemed to materialize, breaking free from all light sources such as flashlights, car headlights, cell phones, and streetlights, and drifting towards the sky.

Looking out, it's like a sky full of lights.

However, in the end, the "fire dragon" swallowed the lamp whole.

Darkness descended, and another gasp rang out.

"what!"

"That dragon, that dragon ate all the light."

"Turn on the light! Turn on the light! Let's try again!"

"The light won't turn on, I can't turn it on."

"I can't see anything."

The fire dragon devoured all the light, even the light it emitted itself, as it circled and roared.

Wherever it passed, all the light gradually disappeared.

Darkness completely enveloped the land; the extreme darkness that terrified the world descended once more.

But even in the deepest darkness, its roars did not cease, spreading fear and even death.

"Roar!"

Everyone was lost in the darkness, unable to find their way out, and had no idea how to escape this deadly place.

It looked like the situation was about to completely spiral out of control.

Zhao Nange glanced in Li Jun's direction. Even in the darkness, the peach tree's extraordinary vision allowed her to still see Li Jun.

In the extraordinary vision, Li Jun's radiance surpassed that of everyone else, like a sun.

Li Jun hadn't spoken before, so she hadn't said anything either, but at this moment she finally asked a question.

Zhao Nange: "Aren't you angry?"

Li Jun, with his back to her, said, "No."

Zhao Nange continued, "You gave them a glimmer of hope, but they didn't cherish it and caused this situation."

Li Jun's voice was calm: "Why be angry when it was all expected? Being angry means you didn't expect it, and things were beyond your control."

Zhao Nange seemed to have guessed something: "You predicted this?"

She suddenly realized: "That's why you set the time for sunset and the handover of things for the evening. There was still time, so that more people could evacuate."

Li Jun said, "There's no time left for them."

It sounds like Zhao Nange is overthinking things.

But Li Jun added, "But I can create time."

After saying that, Li Jun made his move.

His two wings spread out, emitting light that illuminated half the sky above the iron tower, overshadowing the bright moon.

"Roar!"

At this moment, the dragon, whose head and tail were nowhere to be seen in the clouds, roared again, seemingly wanting to swallow the light created by Li Jun.

The extraordinary light created by Li Jun was so powerful that even the "fire dragon" in the sky could not swallow it up.

This method appears to be something Li Jun created for the first time.

But at this moment, Li Jun thought of Shao Li, who had used the same method to help Xi Mu Shi through her difficulties.

Li Jun reminisced about ancient times.

The figures in the darkness below were illuminated, their outlines revealed, as if they had been rescued from a lost, black ocean.

They all looked up at the tower. Although they couldn't see the figure clearly, they all heard what he said.

"This is the last chance."

Li Jun's words were somewhat cold, but at that moment, they were like a savior's mantra to those who heard them.

Most of them didn't even know what Li Jun was saying, but the fact that he spoke meant that he was a person.

He pointed forward, and streaks of light shot into the distance, illuminating the path ahead in the darkness.

Many people rushed in that direction, many bowed to Li Jun, and shouted various words that even Li Jun himself could not understand.

When the coffin hasn't been brought to your doorstep, and you're not truly facing death, you always feel there's still a chance.

Only after losing their last chance did they realize how precious what they had gained before was.

Everyone rushed outside without regard for anything else, leaving behind almost everything except their most precious possessions or family members.

Zhao Nange looked at Li Jun and suddenly asked him a question.

"Is this the realm of immortals?"

Li Jun: "What is the realm of immortals?"

Zhao Nange: "We can see the mistakes that everyone makes, yet we can still guide people onto the right path."
-
The events that occurred in Dushuo City have already shocked the world. A massive influx of people is fleeing this city that has fallen into darkness, making headlines worldwide and dominating the entire internet.

However, at the same time, many people are gathering around the city and even want to enter it.

"They're out, another batch has come out." On the road, a large number of journalists from various countries and social media users kept asking the fleeing people about the situation inside the city.

"What is that?" Soon, a faint blue light appeared in the dark city that had been swallowed up.

"Li Jun with double pupils, someone said they saw him on the plane before, saying he arrived in Ellem." Based on what the escaped people said, and what the other party said, they roughly guessed who was in the light.

Some people even deduced the cause and effect.

In front of the camera.

A reporter is broadcasting live from the scene.

All that could be seen was the extreme darkness caused by Zhangwei Mountain in the distance behind the reporter, which had spread out. The city had disappeared in the darkness, leaving only the red light writhing in the black clouds and the faint light on the tower.

On the highway, some even stranger scenes appeared: lines of cars with their lights on suddenly appeared on the dark road, as if they were driving out of a giant, dark mouth.

"An organization called Changsheng Guan is expanding rapidly. It has already taken control of the Blackwater Kingdom and renamed Elem City to Dushuo City. The name Dushuo comes from Dushuo Mountain in the Classic of Mountains and Seas of the Eastern Kingdom. In mythology, it is the entrance to the underworld, guarded by two ghosts and gods named Shen Tu and Yu Lei."

"According to the speculation of the experts from the Eastern Kingdom we consulted, the Changsheng Temple may have already opened the door to the world of death in Dushuo City, and may next take the entire Dushuo City away from the real world, or bring another world into the real world."

At this point, a middle-aged Taoist priest actually appeared and began to speak in Kentese about the legends of the Classic of Mountains and Seas and Mount Dushuo.

On television, the words of this so-called professional not only attracted countless people's attention, but also became increasingly popular.

These people even wrote down and recorded these words, as if they felt that these words contained some incredible secret waiting for them to uncover.

The other end.

Some people even drove their vehicles into the city, standing on the vehicles and setting up cameras to aim at the clear light shining from the tall iron tower.

"According to sources, Li Jun, who has double pupils, has already arrived in Dushuo City and has clashed with Changsheng Temple. Changsheng Temple disciple Zhang You was severely injured and his fate is unknown."

"At this moment, the city is a mixture of supernatural beings, ghosts, and the living. What you are seeing may be the so-called new world that the Changsheng Temple wants to create in the future."

"Look everyone, that should be Li Jun with double pupils."

"According to the information I received, the Changsheng Temple was preparing to sacrifice everyone in the city yesterday, most likely to summon a god belonging to the world of death, but was interrupted by Li Jun with double pupils."

"It seems that this person stands on the opposite side of the Longevity Temple. Although we don't know where he got the courage to challenge Zhou Shentong, the Immortal Venerable who can take away the sun, it is because of him that there is today's large-scale escape. Every figure you see here today is an existence that has escaped from the world of death."

"Just as the sun set, a large number of people were still trapped in the city. Li Jun with double pupils appeared before them and once again saved everyone."

"He said something that, according to the translation, meant that this was the last chance."

"Based on what he said, we speculate that the fall of this city is inevitable, and the extraordinary conflicts that will break out here next will be even more intense."

"Now please follow the camera and watch with us. We can see a fire dragon in the sky. It comes from Zhangwei Mountain. And it is said that there are even more terrifying things in the mountain."

"The Temple of Longevity is transforming this place. They say they will hold an extraordinary summit in this city next month to establish a non-human united association."

"But before that, more events will definitely happen here, and Zhou Shentong and Li Jun will certainly have a further conflict here. It is conceivable that this place will soon determine the fate of the entire world."

After saying this, the people on the bus seemed to feel both fear and regret.

As a media professional, I really wanted to witness such scenes and big news firsthand.

"However, due to the danger here, we will not be able to see what happens next. But I will keep an eye on the situation from the outside, so please stay tuned for my reports."

However, he remained rational and parked the car on the outer ring instead of going inside.

But at that moment, another car sped past them, so fast that they had to swerve to avoid it.

A group of white people on the bus were also live-streaming. They were frantic and excited. They were even wearing T-shirts with the logo of the Temple of Longevity, spreading their tattooed hands, and shouting in broken Chinese what Zhou Shentong had once said.

"Everyone is like a dragon!"

"Everyone is like a dragon!"

"The immortal Zhou Shentong of the Changsheng Temple has opened the door to life and death; he is helping us."

"Why run away? We should all accept the power of life and death. From today onwards, we will never truly die. Immortal Venerable Zhou Shentong has granted us the power of reincarnation..."

After saying that, these people rushed into the darkness without any hesitation, the signal was cut off, and the screen was left with only darkness.

However, online, a large number of comments and bullet screens continued to appear. Some people were cursing these people as crazy, but at the same time, a large number of people were responding to their call and even wanted to enter Dushuo City and cross the so-called gate of life and death.

All the myriad aspects of human life unfold around this place.

Along with these live broadcasts and news reports, Li Jun's appearances were exposed to the world.

Unlike the previous events inside Zhangwei Mountain, those present were all people who belonged to or were subordinate to the extraordinary world. However, most of them did not survive after Zhulong opened his eyes.

Most people don't know that Li Jun once fought against Zhou Shentong and even gained the upper hand, at least there is no direct footage to prove it.

But at this moment, they witnessed with their own eyes that when almost the entire world was preparing to submit to Zhou Shentong's power, there were still people who dared to oppose Changsheng Temple and Zhou Shentong.

"Li Jun with double pupils!"

Everyone looked up at the figure radiating a clear light on the iron tower, and the name was immediately given a completely different meaning.

Aside from those scheming and insane lunatics, a convoy was also heading in at that moment, with the drivers gazing at the clear light emanating from the distant iron tower.

Inside the vehicle was the sacrificial jade that Li Jun wanted.

Another figure atop the iron tower, Zhao Nange, suddenly put her hand to her ear and looked down.

"arrive."

Zhao Nange brought a box to Li Jun, opened it, and showed it to him.

Li Jun reached out and took out a seal with a human head and a dragon body from the box. It was a sacrificial artifact made from the legendary Kunlun jade.

The being engraved on the seal is none other than a being from ancient times.

"Candle Shadow!"

With a human head and a dragon's body, it perches on the black jade, as if swooping down from the shadows above.

The night is long.

The endless flow of vehicles and people coming and going in and out of the city has been completely cut off, and the clear light on the iron tower has also disappeared. Only the terrifying thing hidden in the sea of ​​clouds above is making all sorts of noises.

Having not slept all night, Luo Zhen stood up and went outside, looking up at the sky as if waiting for something.

"It should be dawn by now."

However, Luo Zhen waited for a long time but did not see any sign of the sun rising, not even a gray sun.

He repeatedly touched his watch, but couldn't see the time; he could only hear the ticking sound.

Time passed minute by minute, but the sun never rose again.

At that moment, Luo Zhen understood what was going on.

"We are already in another world."

The city seemed to have died, as quiet as a giant corpse, only emitting its last wisp of warmth.

Those who remain in this city now are either people who refuse to leave even on their deathbeds, or ambitious individuals with ulterior motives, or forces attempting to achieve certain goals.

Luo Zhen could have left, but he hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to stay.

He had just turned around when a red light suddenly appeared in the sky.

A glint appeared in Luo Zhen's eyes as he turned his head to look up. However, what he saw was not the sun, but the "fire dragon" spewing firelight once again.

"Roar!"

The "fire dragon" let out a roar and surged down towards the sky.

When the sun no longer rises, and when Dushuo falls into the underworld, it can truly enter this city.

"The fire dragon has come down."

The roar of the "fire dragon" seemed to be some kind of signal.

Yin and Yang are reversed, life and death are reversed.

The living depart from this land, while the souls of the dead begin to wander eternally in this darkness.
