Chapter 312 The Chaotic Sea of Bitterness! The Gate of Truth Beyond Eternity! Forbidden Technique of the Gods (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Why did this happen...?
Jiang Ji thought that by obtaining the Eye of the Evil King, she could change Lu Yu's suffering and open up a bright future for him.
But at this moment, she realized how naive and foolish her previous thoughts had been!
From the perspective of the Eye of the Evil King, Jiang Ji saw behind Lu Yu a pain that transcended the world, which had increased dramatically compared to the last time.
They blotted out the sky, almost boundless, constantly churning, with countless arms reaching out from them, like the outstretched hands of ancient demons, entwining nine enormous clusters of light and shadow, slowly sinking downwards.
And it continues to spread, even reaching towards the mother river, seemingly threatening to engulf...
All realms!
The suffering kept gathering and intertwining, eventually forming a chaotic, boundless, dark sea of bitterness, within which mysterious figures stood.
These figures were twisted and chaotic, terrifyingly blurry, as if they had been pixelated.
Do not,
wrong!
Jiang Ji suddenly realized that it wasn't that the other party's appearance was distorted, but that she couldn't observe their true nature.
Just like an ant can only see a two-dimensional world and will never see a three-dimensional world until it dies.
Even if an ant manages to break through the limitations and see it, it can only discover the tip of the iceberg, which, amidst the overlapping of light and shadow, resembles an ancient god.
But now she's not using her own eyes.
It's the Eye of the Evil King!
It is a treasure left behind by the son of the Lord of Thorns, a great being worshipped by the Church of Thorns, and a wicked king who is infinitely close to a god.
Even a true king cannot shield himself from its gaze!
However, Jiang Ji was still unwilling to admit defeat so easily. He tried his best to use the authority of the Eye of the Evil King to see those figures and the thing in the center.
Only by finding the source can Lu Yu be helped to resolve his suffering.
near...
Closer...
Jiang Ji's vision zoomed in, entering that sea of suffering, just as she was about to make out the first of the countless figures.
However, just as the image became clear, a sudden "crack" appeared, and a massive abyss appeared in her field of vision, splitting the entire world in two.
Fortunately, Jiang Ji had tempered her mind under five times the pain and was not paralyzed with fear. Even so, her plump legs were weak and trembled uncontrollably.
However, others simply assumed that he hadn't adapted to such extreme pain and didn't think much of it.
However, the instant the Eye of the Evil King's perspective vanished, the nine beams of light were submerged, and countless figures from the Boundless Sea of Bitterness slowly walked into the center—it was a...
door.
But the next moment, he was buried in endless suffering.
When Jiang Ji came to her senses, her back was soaked with cold sweat, and she noticed a crack appearing on the Eye of the Evil King.
It wasn't that I was being devoured by that chaotic sea of suffering, but rather that my own act of prying into things felt like a mistake.
A form of defiance!
Jiang Ji had a strong feeling that if he hadn't been too weak to see more, continuing down this path would likely have led to unimaginable horror.
"It failed."
Thinking of this, Jiang Ji felt extremely frustrated. She had planned everything before, but after actually seeing it, she felt a deeper level of despair.
Why...
Why do humans experience such suffering?
Even the Eye of the Evil King is filled with fear...
What exactly did Lu Yu touch?
As Jiang Ji's thoughts raced through her mind, she continuously perused the vast knowledge bestowed upon her by the Eye of the Evil King, and a terrifying conjecture gradually surfaced in her mind.
Could he be...?
She gave Lu Yu a deep look and made a decision in her heart.
"There's one last way!"
Jiang Ji suppressed all her emotions, forced a smile at the High Priestess of Thorns, and then began the Holy Maiden Ceremony.
Even if it's simplified, as a top-tier orthodox church, there are still proper procedures, such as announcing the alliance and notifying friendly forces of meetings, etc.
It's like telling them, "This is my own child, so please give me face when we're out in public!"
However, since the Silent Moon has not yet ended and the alliance is still extremely busy, the other factions are also defending their own bases due to the failure of the divination, and it is unlikely that they will come out.
Therefore, the process of entertaining outsiders will have to wait at least a week. However, as the Thorn Church had successfully wiped out most of the elite forces of the Fertility Moon Order, it did not prevent them from celebrating internally.
Before you knew it, it was evening.
The entire Thorn Cathedral has been decorated in a magnificent manner, with countless thorns entwined and used as tables and chairs. Numerous thorn nuns dressed in revealing attire move among the trees, serving up unique thorn-based organic delicacies.
For example, there's thorn fruit wine made from thorn berries, roasted rabbit made from rabbits that grow up in thorny thickets and eat thorn roots, each bite carrying a subtle, free-spirited thorn flavor, dairy cows that eat thorn thorns, and so on. In addition, there are some vegetarian dishes made from thorns...
The Thorn Church, which is able to open a top-notch gourmet restaurant like Golden Bush in the capital, naturally has top-notch culinary skills, satisfying all the guests. In addition, the performances by the nuns of the Thorn Church made the scene exceptionally lively.
"I refuse to believe I'll keep losing!"
After drinking, Jiang Dian stood on a stool and started playing drinking games with the others, only to be defeated by the even more boisterous Sister Thorns, causing everyone to laugh incessantly.
Yan Yu placed the glass of thorn fruit wine on "Human Heart" and sipped it through the straw, oblivious to the commotion around her, her beautiful eyes lost in thought.
Losing her status as a saintess relieved her of burdens but also brought her confusion.
Next, they will become priests of the Thorn Church, performing prayer ceremonies day after day to guide most of the lost souls. If they do not like this life, they can choose to enter the Thorn Nurturing Court to raise thorn beasts, or the dangerous Tribunal...
Wait, the courtroom!
Yan Yu's eyes lit up as she suddenly thought of something.
If we join the Inquisition, wouldn't we have the opportunity to hunt down followers of evil gods and get news of Archbishop Twilight as soon as possible?
If we can catch him, we can repay the previous humiliation tenfold and hang him up and whip him...
Ok……
Thinking back to that strange feeling, Yan Yu's face flushed slightly, and her fighting spirit was rekindled.
Anyway, if we fail, it should at most be like the ending the nuns drew in their books... right?
"Waaaaah, is this heaven?"
The black dragon ant, transformed from a mouse, was already buried in the pile of cakes, chewing heartily, ready to devour it all at once.
Egg was rather reserved, so he ate the table along with it, eating with elegance, which drew gasps from the Thorn Sisters, who then quickly made up for it.
The Church of Thorns has no shortage of large pets, so they are very experienced in feeding them.
However, they will soon feel the fear of being dominated by the "unending thirst" and know what an insatiable black hole is.
"Eek!"
The little spider was holding half a watermelon, scooping out a large piece of flesh with a spoon, and eating it slowly, with a satisfied expression on its face from time to time.
Watermelon, the best!
The Paper Knight didn't eat. Although it could turn food into paper and integrate it into its body, it mostly disliked anything outside of its home.
So it quietly stayed by its master's side, constantly reviewing the "bible" taught by its master in its heart.
Strive to become a knight of excellent character!
As for Lu Yu, he was questioning the meaning of life.
He, a grown man, actually knew how his wife felt when she saw her husband pass the imperial examination with flying colors and was abandoned before she even had a chance to be happy.
For some reason, ever since Jiang Ji obtained the Eye of the Evil King, she seemed to have become a different person. She cooperated with High Priest Thorn in the entire process of holding the Saintess's celebration and did not look at herself once again.
He didn't pay much attention at first, thinking that the other person was just too busy. But when he went over to offer his blessings, Jiang Ji only nodded slightly with a calm expression, and there was an inexplicable distance between them.
The shy nun transformed directly into a noble saint.
We've only just reached the shore, and this is the first sword strike...
So you cut yourself off?
Are they trying to renege on their debt?
If that's the case, even if Jiang Ji becomes a saintess, Lu Yu will still lock her in a dark room and use positive energy to severely punish her.
However, he also felt it was unlikely, since Jiang Ji's character had always been very steadfast, just like her "heart".
"Could it be that it was possessed by the Eye of the Evil King? Or has it affected its personality? After all, this thing's origins are not simple. Wait, where did Jiang Ji go? I was thinking of using the Eye of Truth to take a look..."
Just as Lu Yu was pondering conspiracy theories, his phone vibrated slightly. Unlocking the screen revealed a message.
[Jiang Ji: I'm waiting for you inside the Thorn Cathedral. Time to settle the payment.]
"So it was the God of Wealth summoning us!"
Upon seeing this, Lu Yu's lips curled up slightly, his previous dissatisfaction vanished. As long as money was involved, everything was negotiable.
He got up and told his pet that he was going to collect the final payment.
"Okay... okay!"
"roar!"
The hamster and the egg were busy eating, so they just gave a perfunctory reply.
The little spider wanted to come along, but Lu Yu refused, saying that it had fought several battles that day and needed a good rest.
Just bring your own paper knight.
Lu Yu was not arrogant. Even though he had powerful combat strength, the Thorn Cathedral was only a few thousand meters away. Little Spider could arrive in a flash. In addition, with the protection of the Imperial Capital, it was unlikely that he would encounter any danger.
But he habitually keeps something in reserve.
To always assume the worst about everyone is a sign of good character.
"Eek!" The little spider nodded, turned its head away reluctantly, and continued eating its melon.
Lu Yu glanced at the lively banquet and led the Paper Knight to the Thorn Cathedral. The massive Thorn Gate was only open through a narrow crack, allowing only humans to pass through.
Lu Yu peeked through the crack and saw a figure inside. There was only one person; he sensed no other presence. So he said to the paper knight:
"Wait for me outside."
"Yes, my lord!" The paper knight's enormous body stood guard at the door, remaining on alert.
Lu Yu squeezed into the narrow crevice and arrived at the so-called largest Thorn Cathedral for the second time.
The lights inside were off, and only the dim moonlight, filtering through the glass ceiling during the silent moon's hour, illuminated the statue of the Lord of Thorns.
Before the thorny cross entwined with an ouroboros, a figure knelt in submission.
It is Jiang Ji!
This time, however, she wore a brand new saintly outfit, with a crown woven from golden thorns and roses and a headscarf made of high-quality silk. Her long gray hair shone brightly in the moonlight, and her platinum robes concealed her stunning figure. Her original black stockings were replaced with white stockings characteristic of the Thorn Church, and they were tightly bound to her flesh.
A little higher up, there was skin as white as mutton fat jade, reflecting the moonlight, and wrapped in a ring of dark gold thorns, adding a touch of elegance.
Jiang Ji has a typical voluptuous figure, so when she's kneeling, you can see her from behind...
Ok……
We're spending more than we earn!
Lu Yu maintained the attitude of not looking at what is improper, but he did not do anything improper to the other party, so he looked at them openly, only making his footsteps louder to let the other party know that he had arrived.
Jiang Ji did not get up, and continued to recite the doctrine in a low voice:
"All that is seen in the world is evil, the suffering of all beings, and thorns for all ages..."
I don't know for whom they are praying so fervently.
Lu Yu waited quietly. The recitation didn't last long and ended quickly. Jiang Ji slowly stood up, and the patterns that were originally imprinted on her clothes were smoothed out. Her delicate jade feet, wrapped in white silk, stepped on the ground.
She turned around, saw Lu Yu, and smiled: "Let's go into the Thorn Prayer Chamber!"
"Hmm?" Lu Yu frowned slightly, about to refuse, when he heard Jiang Ji smooth her hair and continue:
"I won't try to bear your pain anymore; that would be wishful thinking. I just want to talk to you about some things, some..."
"Regarding the Eye of the Evil King!"
Jiang Ji's gaze was earnest and gentle, with a hint of pleading. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lu Yu nod.
Then the two entered the Thorn Prayer Chamber. Lu Yu sat in a chair and could see a round barrier on the wooden board in front of him, big enough for a person to squeeze through.
It's exactly the same as in the book. As expected, the artists of the Thorn Church are all meticulous researchers; they actually recreated it one-to-one.
I hope we won't see that old cliché plot of teasing the saintess.
Is it blasphemy to harass a saint in the Church of Thorns, or does it conform to the doctrine of procreation?
Just as Lu Yu was mentally complaining, he heard Jiang Ji's voice:
"Actually, I already know the root of your suffering; it comes from a higher being."
Lu Yu's heart sank, and he narrowed his eyes, wondering what Jiang Ji had seen with the Eye of the Evil King.
Forbidden Sun? Pasture? Ghostly Ancient Tree?
still is……
The key to truth?
If it's the last one, then it can only be...
Just as Lu Yu was lost in thought, he heard a "click-click" sound.
The partition in the prayer room was lifted, and Jiang Ji poked her head out, a slight smile playing on her lips, and looked at Lu Yu, saying:
"Don't worry, because now I am not a saint of the Thorn Church, but just a nun who listens to Lu Yu's prayers. Please speak freely."
She looked at Lu Yu with gentle eyes, already understanding everything.
Lu Yu's rise to power was not accidental; it was very likely...
I have become a pawn of some great being!
Mortals cannot bear suffering beyond the reach of the world; the misfortunes brought about by the side effects alone are enough to obliterate them countless times.
But if... it comes from a great being, then it makes sense!
The power of a great being is beyond imagination; it is itself a calamity, and naturally bears even greater suffering.
Throughout human history, there have been instances of figures whose fates were manipulated by a great being, who marched forward triumphantly, illuminating their eras, but whose final fates were invariably tragic.
And it brought enormous losses to the entire human race.
Logically speaking, as the Thorn Saintess who inherited the Eye of the Evil King, Jiang Ji should report to the Thorn Church immediately, and then the Pope and other important figures in the alliance should handle the matter together.
Otherwise, it would be like planting a time bomb for humanity.
But Jiang Ji did not do that, because she had lied from the very beginning when she made the vow.
She didn't possess the selfless virtues of previous saints; she only wanted to protect those she cherished, such as the nuns of the Thorn Church, and so on...
Lu Yu!
In her dream, he helped her escape the eternal nightmare... told her that people should live for themselves... let her experience university life... in a desperate situation, to prevent her from sacrificing herself, he faced the Moon of Reproduction and won the battle for the Saintess...
This allowed Jiang Ji to truly live for the first time, experiencing joy instead of suffering!
Therefore, she also wanted Lu Yu to be happy.
This is Jiang Ji's greatest selfishness!
"..."
Why is this woman suddenly so alluring?
Imagine a highly respected saintess from a righteous religious sect suddenly telling you in a gentle tone that she is your personal nun—how charming would that be…?
It's skyrocketing!
Lu Yu was amazed and had to admit that he was also charmed. At the same time, he realized that Jiang Ji seemed to have misunderstood something.
Because whether she discovered the forbidden sun or the door, she shouldn't have reacted this way.
Lu Yu gave a wry smile and tentatively probed with a universal phrase:
"Everything comes at a price, doesn't it?"
Jiang Ji said earnestly, "But I can share the cost with you, and I will try my best to find a way out of this predicament!"
This woman really didn't know!
Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but on the surface he just shook his head helplessly and didn't say anything more.
Jiang Ji felt heartbroken looking at the dejected Lu Yu.
Yes, he went from an ordinary person who lost his parents to someone who, even with the machinations of a great being, grew into the person who now suppresses countless geniuses from powerful families and becomes the new king of talent. He must have put in countless efforts and endured countless hardships along the way.
Most people would probably have fallen into depravity long ago.
However, Lu Yu did not turn to the dark side. Instead, he loved this world. Despite being born on the border, he was willing to speak up for the common people of the Dark Star Region and challenge the terrifying Star Families.
That is a noble virtue that even great beings cannot corrupt.
Jiang Ji bit her lower lip, recalling the forbidden technique she had seen in the Eye of the Evil King. She prepared to slip through and tell the other party about it, but then…
She underestimated her own body size.
It's completely stuck!
Only the head and upper body came through, creating an awkward moment.
"..."
Lu Yu's eyelids twitched, feeling that the scene was somewhat familiar, too much like a crime scene.
However, Lu Yu still stepped in to help, pulling the saintess out like a radish.
Just as he was about to let go, Jiang Ji pounced on him and used a rear naked choke from wrestling, pinning him down again to prevent him from escaping.
It was exactly the same as when I first entered the Thorn Cathedral.
Because the prayer room was not very large, one could clearly feel her temperature, her breathing, and...
My heart is pounding faster and faster!
The two people's low breathing echoed in the narrow space, making the atmosphere increasingly ambiguous.
Jiang Ji's cheeks flushed slightly as she spoke earnestly:
"I really do have a way to give you at least a chance to resist when you're being controlled."
Ok?
Who can control me?
Why don't I know?
Lu Yu rolled his eyes, feeling a bit overwhelmed. Did this silly saintess not know how charming she was?
Jiang Ji was already very beautiful before. After inheriting the Eye of the Evil King and bearing five times the number of Thorn Rings, she expelled even more filth, and her temperament and appearance improved even further.
He's already on par with the president and Yu Xiyan, second only to Little Spider!
At the same time, she also carried a faint fragrance, like a rose growing in a thicket of thorns.
Dangerous yet alluring.
If this continues, we'll be scrambling to prepare at the last minute!
Lu Yu wouldn't normally mind, but now...
But when it comes to the final payment!
Men, please remember this: if a woman owes you a mountain of debt but is being ambiguous with you, it's highly likely...
They don't want to pay anymore and are preparing to repay in other ways.
Therefore, what Lu Yu saw was not Jiang Ji, but rather the God of Poverty beckoning to him.
Lu Yu felt helpless and made one last attempt to struggle:
"Actually, it's not that serious..."
Pay first, then we'll talk about other things!
Please don't think I'm too principled!
"It's okay, I understand. You've always been so strong!"
Jiang Ji interrupted him, her gaze becoming increasingly gentle, like a devout nun guiding a lost soul, practicing God's path.
The only drawback is that this garment bears a weight it shouldn't have to bear, leaving even Lu Yu speechless when faced with the will of the people.
After all, he has always liked to go along with people's wishes.
After all, this is a big deal, so you should make the decision.
Today, it seems that without a thorough understanding of the Thorn Church's dogmatic brainwashing, it's no longer possible.
Lu Yu sighed and said:
"What are you planning to do?"
Life is a bastard, and since you can't fight it, you might as well just silently enjoy it.
However, the above mistakes...
Ultimately, this isn't a good thing!
Jiang Ji whispered in his ear, allowing Lu Yu to clearly feel the warm breeze brushing against his ear. Although it was a little itchy, he still listened attentively as Jiang Ji recounted the forbidden techniques he had obtained from the Eye of the Evil King.
One method that can help Lu Yu temporarily escape the control of the great being!
At least……
It can plant a seed of hope!
However, the specific details of the forbidden technique made his eyes widen in surprise.
This is so taboo!
Even I, a man with a forbidden status, couldn't stand it anymore.
That's...too conservative!
I thought I was going to be ridden on.
However, it seems to be about the same.
The Thorn Church, as expected of a church with equal authority to the Moon of Procreation, shares some similarities in its forbidden arts.
However, Jiang Ji needed to use the Eye of the Evil King to convince herself of her suffering and forcibly implant a blessing, so she needed to be close to him, but it was essentially a very proper ritual.
Ok……
So serious!
"Don't worry, it will be quick."
Jiang Ji reached out and removed the thorn ring from her leg. She neatly tied her hair into a ponytail, making her look more refreshing and beautiful.
This step is mainly to prevent the hair from interfering with the ritual process and causing distraction.
Just as she was about to remove the saint's crown and headscarf, she was grabbed by a large hand and unable to move.
She looked up at Lu Yu, who had a calm expression, and thought he was rejecting her. A ripple appeared in her eyes, like when she was a child and threw a stone into a well, shattering the moon.
Her expression dimmed slightly, but she still managed a smile and said:
"Actually, this is just a way of thanking you for saving that little girl who was shivering in the ruins, which made me understand the meaning of life."
I know many people like you, and a loser like me is indeed insignificant, but I won't tell anyone, nor will I bother you. After all, I'll soon be heading to the border battlefield, where I'll face countless alien races, and I might die prematurely..."
"No, what I mean is..." Lu Yu shook his head and said seriously:
"You don't need to take off the saint's crown; I quite like it."
"Uh-huh!?"
A long chapter of 6,000 words. Those who know, know; don't get the wrong idea. Please vote for me; I'm about to be bombarded with monthly tickets.
