Cosmic-Level Demon God-Chapter 110 - 92: What Sacrifice, Descending of the Four Pillars God (First Update!)
Chapter 110: Chapter 92: What Sacrifice, Descending of the Four Pillars God (First Update!)
"Four Pillars? Gods?"
Qin Shi pondered. He initially wanted to call them by name directly, but the Palace of Thought suddenly trembled, preventing his somewhat rash and unwise action.
"Even speaking their names is forbidden; the respect for them is truly formidable."
Qin Shi was a bit puzzled. Dongxia did not promote religion and deities.
Furthermore, it strictly forbade large-scale gatherings, rituals, and other group activities in public places.
Among the Four Pillars, the only one he had heard of was the "Divine Machine."
The people of Dongxia referred to power armor capable of exploring the Star Sea and conducting single-handed interplanetary operations as "Divine Machine," which later became a term for combat weapons.
The most heroic legendary tales of ancient times were about Specialized Level Martial Artists who, riding a Divine Machine alone, decapitated enemy generals in the midst of thousands of troops, thus achieving great deeds.
Back then in Dongxia, private possession of power armor was strictly prohibited.
Anyone reported and found to have more than three such suits would be considered rebellious. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
The whole family would be executed, implicating nine generations!
Hence, the Divine Machine was also called the "Niner Eliminator."
It was said, "One armor equals three crossbows, three armors lead to the underworld."
As for the crossbow that could rival the Divine Machine, it was the indispensable weapon for ancient Martial Artists in assassination attempts—the Dongfeng Crossbow!
This thing was also called the Box Cannon, enormously powerful, capable of piercing tanks with a single shot.
According to reliable historical records, during times of turmoil, more than seven emperors fell to the Dongfeng Crossbow.
Even a powerful individual whose life force broke the hundred-point mark would have little chance of survival against the Box Cannon, which had a range of two thousand meters, weighed less than eighty pounds, had a bullet caliber of forty millimeters, and a firing rate of sixty rounds per minute.
However, with the development of defensive systems like the Silent Force Field and Damping Force Field, the Dongfeng Crossbow, once a favorite of Martial Artists, was rendered obsolete and completely retired from the stage of history.
"Did He Lanchan break through the Divine Barrier with the gaze of the Four Pillars?"
Qin Shi was astonished. Although he had often heard Elder Liang mention the terms of divine blessings and protection, he had never seen any deities in person nor knew what they actually looked like.
"The rich rely on money, the poor on serendipity. According to Elder Liang, Qi Wuxiang has everything he wants in this life, while He Lanchan has nothing. The latter surviving the junkyard in Yazhou must be due to sheer luck."
He continued to consult the Dao nature avatar — Xiao He, Xiao He, how do you seek the gaze of the Four Pillars in Dongxia?
The white-haired youth, expressionless like a low-intelligence robot, recited monotonously:
"There are three common ways: performing Esoteric Rituals, summoning ancient relics, and awakening bloodlines..."
Qin Shi pondered for a moment and asked for details on the first type.
He also marveled at how useful Martial God A-Dream was!
It could train by itself while also serving as a search engine.
"Esoteric Rituals are divided into twelve levels. Depending on the needs, the conditions for completion vary. The higher the level of the ritual, the harsher the requirements, including materials, venue, and even timing.
The Four Pillars are omnipresent and eternal. If one merely seeks their gaze, even simply clasping hands in prayer might receive a response, if one is lucky."
Listening to the white-haired youth’s response, Qin Shi’s mouth twitched. He inexplicably felt as if he were attending a telemarketing call—if you make enough calls, the Four Pillars will pick up eventually.
Hello, are the Four Pillar bigshots there?
Could you spare a glance at me?
"Let me see how He Lanchan did it."
Qin Shi thought for a moment, dismissing the stupid idea of shouting daily "Taiyi/Celestial Being/Divine Machine/True Dragon, grant me power."
He suddenly became very interested in how the young Stone Buddha moved the Four Pillars, considering the latter came from the junkyard in Yazhou, an environment even worse than Old Factory Street in Heng Province.
The Dao nature avatar’s eyes opened, making a writing motion, and a tattered old diary projected into view, densely packed with tiny characters.
"Praise the Mechanical Soul! The soul of the Divine Machine walks with me, and grants me energy! The weather is sunny today, I started work early, took a small sip of 95 machine oil to lift my spirits! Mechanical structures, so precise, metals, so beautiful..."
"Taiyi operates like the sun and moon, eternal order is mesmerizing. Today there is a strong wind, light rain. After school, I thought of the priest’s words at church; the Star Sea is vast, if I could dedicate myself to spreading the gospel and praising Taiyi’s great work, how wonderful it would be..."
"Celestial Being, the most majestic and grandest of the supreme pillars..."
"As a descendant of True Dragon and a citizen of Dongxia, I am truly fortunate..."
Qin Shi’s face stiffened as if struck by lightning.
He had always heard from Elder Liang about the many deeds of Stone Buddha He Lanchan, often through the lens of admiration, creating a sense of idol worship.
But after quickly browsing through over five or six hundred short "diary" entries resembling small essays, with a click, the filter shattered.
So it turns out you gained the Four Pillars’ favor by flattering them?
"Today, be Taiyi’s dog, tomorrow, be the Celestial Being’s faithful follower, the day after, switch sides to cheer for True Dragon... as the leading figure among the first ten elites, ranking within the top ten in over nine millennia, Old He is so humble!"
Sure enough, before achieving greatness, everyone goes through the four stages of poverty, patience, dormancy, and growth!
Qin Shi sighed, knowing that no serious person would write a diary, and whatever is written cannot be the whole truth?
Fortunately, He Lanchan persevered, truly summoning the gaze of the Four Pillars, thereby condensing his Dao nature, discovering his true self, and breaking through the Divine Barrier Limit.
