Chapter 2595: As Before

The answer contained within Heaven's knowledge was the deepest realization in God Tu Hu's heart.

Emotionally, he was unwilling to believe it, but cognitively, he was already certain.

At this point, the best choice was to leave immediately.

Although he was part of the entity named "Tu Hu," having reached this realm, he could also exist as an independent individual, from now on solely with the identity of God Tu Hu.

Despite having countless connections with the human body, it wouldn't be difficult to hide in the vast depths of the universe – he had already thought of thirty-seven ways, which could preserve this body for at least ten thousand years of life.

However, loyalty to Cang Tu God outweighed everything.

On the winding and endless mountain path, he suddenly turned back, gripping the scepter as if lifting a great spear, his sacrificial robe fluttering!

At this moment, he no longer held back but burned everything to fight Jiang Wang to the death, attempting to change that "answer" he had already obtained.

"Guang Wen... Ye Xie Wu!"

God Tu Hu shouted loudly with a devout posture! Behind him, it was as if mountains were rising, that was the terrifying divine power... almost infinitely surging forth.

Guang Wen Ye Xie Wu Hall!

The "Hero Hall" on the grassland.

He called this name in the Heaven Kingdom!

The Cang Tu Heaven Kingdom had been sealed for a thousand years, and since then all messages were prohibited, only divine power came and went.

Historically, only the Great Shepherd Heavenly Emperor had borrowed national power to quietly come here. In a sense, these ascenders today could be said to be the first since the realm was locked.

It was so difficult for people to come, could a temple still be summoned?

Then, in the next moment, time and space dramatically changed.

In the sky, divine power or national power, dragon qi archways, and everything else, was like a page of scripture being flipped over.

And in this vast and boundless Heaven Kingdom world, a grand and majestic hall appeared in the high dome, instantly transforming from virtual to real—

Its two characters "Guang Wen" were vast and majestic. The three characters "Ye Xie Wu" were passionate and glorious.

The main hall of Min He Temple had actually truly moved to the Heaven Kingdom!

As everyone knew, before ascending to the God Crown Preaching Great Priest, Tu Hu, at that time still a Gold Crown Priest, had a most important identity, which was the temple master of Min He Temple.

He controlled Min He Temple for decades, measured in years and months.

In this position most suitable for the display of Heaven's knowledge, he exchanged with various countries, shared knowledge, and gained countless experiences.

In terms of control over Min He Temple, he was certainly not comparable to the newly appointed Zhao Ru Cheng.

Of course, Min He Temple was the Great Shepherd Ritual Yamen, and it was not to be harmed by the current "full authority state affairs" Jiang Wang.

He consumed massive divine power to summon the core hall of Min He Temple to ascend to heaven. The first reason was to restrict the power of the Ritual Yamen, placing this hall by his side to prevent Human Tu Hu from using it for tricks; the second was that the Ritual Yamen, as a key element in Tu Hu's life, could play a very important role in the struggle between the divine body and the human body. The third was... Guang Wen Bell!

For a long time, Guang Wen Bell had been enshrined in Guang Wen Ye Xie Wu Hall.

At this moment, the hall flew to the Heaven Kingdom, and a sky-cyan giant bell also immediately shook out.

God Tu Hu pointed remotely at this bell, instantly manifesting his authority, and directly pressed towards Jiang Wang with this treasure.

Tu Hu's human and divine bodies were divided; one supported the Great Shepherd Heavenly Emperor, and the other supported Cang Tu God.

The core operation of the human body was naturally in Min He Temple, while the divine body was undoubtedly in Qiong Lu Mountain.

Tu Hu, with the honor of God Crown Priest, stayed in Min He Temple for a long time. Later, he chose to leave Min He Temple and return to Qiong Lu Mountain, also praised by Cang Tu God for the loyalty of his god servant. Undoubtedly, that was a false prostration.

Previously, because Guang Wen Bell supported Zhi Di Zang, Tu Hu had to go to Min He Temple to suppress... now, thinking about it, that was the beginning of the human-god war. Human Tu Hu deliberately chose to be in Min He Temple when starting this struggle.

And his divine body had already slowed down step by step.

God Tu Hu now realized that he not only had to confront Jiang Wang, but the key was more to confront that always hidden Human Tu Hu.

So he borrowed the power of the Heaven Kingdom and strongly summoned Guang Wen Ye Xie Wu Hall. The momentum of a lion fighting a rabbit to ensure killing Jiang Wang was one thing, but restricting Human Tu Hu was the core.

The bell sound of Cang Tu Heaven Kingdom echoed far and wide.

Among the three bells of the World Honored's personal use, Guang Wen Bell was a tool for seeking Dao, embodying the meaning "as if obtaining the world of Guang Wen," most harmonious with Heaven's knowledge!

He could have his strength today, and Guang Wen Bell had contributed greatly.

At this moment, the bell sound shook, seeking Guang Wen – he immediately grasped the cause and effect to win the final victory.

Yet he was suddenly startled, abruptly spreading his five fingers, as if avoiding a snake or scorpion!

But... it was too late.

This suspended and shaking giant bell, from the bell knob, brightly manifested an ancient bronze colored light point. In an instant, the light color pushed like a tide, and in the blink of an eye, it completely expelled the sky-cyan color of the bell body!!!

God Tu Hu could instantly seize the bell to attack his enemy, displaying his might in the Heaven Kingdom, not only because he unleashed such majestic divine power, but also because the great Cang Tu God had made arrangements for this long ago—

Among the three bells seen by Jiang Wang, Zhi Wen Bell and Wo Wen Bell were ancient bronze color, only Guang Wen Bell was sky-cyan.

The sky-cyan of Guang Wen Bell was precisely dyed by Cang Tu!

Cang Tu's divine power eroded this bell day and night, and had already plundered its root.

In the past decades, Guang Wen Bell was not a Buddha tool, but a Cang Tu divine tool.

But today's Guang Wen Bell, its root was already different.

As early as the day Guang Wen Bell supported Zhi Di Zang and completed the old pact of escaping Zen, the relief on the bell body regarding Min Ha Er had already shaken off.

If only up to this point, regarding the ownership of this bell, God Tu Hu and Human Tu Hu might still have a struggle.

But this bell had already taken a side.

When Jiang Wang refined demons at Tian Xing Cliff, Tu Hu sent this bell to protect Jiang Wang's Dao, sharing the absolute peak sound of Zhen He Zhen Jun.

In the struggle for name between Jiang Wang and Zhi Di Zang, Tu Hu held this bell and supported Jiang Wang.

Now that God Tu Hu and Human Tu Hu confronted each other, the balance tilted towards Jiang Wang!

There was fundamentally no room for struggle.

Guang Wen Bell changed owners in an instant.

God Tu Hu's forced summoning and forced activation of Guang Wen Bell further harmed himself.

Dang!!

In both his ears, there were echoes of buzzing.

In his divine eyes, what should have been for him to use was continuously cutting his "knowledge and views"! The complex knowledge and views sounded by Guang Wen Bell manifested as fragments of pictures, forming pieces of skin-cutting thin blades, cutting his divine pupils into fragments amidst his painful muffled groans!

From Jiang Wang's perspective, it was God Tu Hu's sudden outburst, strongly summoning Guang Wen Ye Xie Wu Hall, strongly using Guang Wen Bell, whose momentum pressed upon the Heaven Kingdom, resulting in immediate backfire.

Of course, he couldn't miss such a war opportunity.

While still analyzing the struggle between Human Tu Hu and God Tu Hu in his heart, the person was already enveloped in Samadhi True Fire, crashing through thirteen divine technique barriers, his sword already pointed at God Tu Hu's heart!

God Tu Hu, while being backfired by Guang Wen Bell, was already scheduling new divine techniques, first to consolidate his own defense, then to seek to attack and kill from afar.

But before the nearly knowledge-filled Samadhi True Fire, his defensive divine technique was like paper paste, and his offensive and killing divine technique dissipated while still rising in momentum.

The use of the wrong path was extremely restricted by knowledge, and the power of Samadhi True Fire was also closely related to knowledge.

Knowledge was the core of Heaven's knowledge.

Tu Hu's self-severance of cognition of Jiang Wang was the biggest self-weakening and the strongest suppression of God Tu Hu.

Jiang Wang knew God Tu Hu, but God Tu Hu did not know Jiang Wang.

Thus, Heaven's knowledge could not fully know, and the wrong path he had already stepped on!

That top God Crown was so noble, his sacrificial robe billowing like a sky curtain, the scepter representing the highest glory of divine teaching was still tightly gripped in his hand. He lowered his head and saw his own heart, only a fresh red sword wound.

Not even half an inch long.

He slowly turned on the mountain path, looking at this pilgrimage road.

How many believers in a lifetime kowtowed, unable to ascend the steps.

He, this God Crown Preaching Great Priest, had also not reached the mountain top to worship.

Before his eyes, mist was hazy, as if life's obstacles, but he could never penetrate them!

Why was his strength clearly supreme, why was Heaven's knowledge clearly in his grasp, why was he so widely knowledgeable and experienced, known as wise! Yet he repeatedly acted foolishly, controlled by others step by step. Why in countless choices, did he always choose the most wrong one.

In his brilliant divine pupils, there was an indescribable pain.

Wise as he was, he knew the answer.

Because... Cang Tu God!

In the world, there was no invincibility that was restricted.

Tu Hu was different from truly faithful God Crown Great Priests like Bei Gong Nan Tu.

From the beginning, he only believed in his own knowledge, his own knowledge and views, not the so-called "god."

He, in the position of God Crown Preaching Great Priest, was pressed down and forcibly converted under Cang Tu God's terrifying divine power!

His wise heart was covered in dust.

Until "divine enlightenment," he was a loyal Imperial Party member, fighting only for the Great Shepherd Heavenly Emperor. Only after wearing the God Crown, was his heart no longer his own.

From the beginning, this so-called "God Tu Hu" was just the terrifying strong one named "Tu Hu," who had divided out that body to deceive the god.

God Tu Hu might not lose to his peak state in terms of power, but in a situation where his mind was controlled by Cang Tu God, passively loyal, he could not fully display himself. This was also why Human Tu Hu could weaken him step by step and calculate him to his death.

Before today, he possibly never even realized that Human Tu Hu was his free self!

"My lord!!"

He finally let out such a loud shout.

That fresh red sword wound emitted flames, and he also fell on the mountain path.

Flames surged and rolled, and the mountain path became empty.

Finally, only Jiang Wang was left alone on this mountain path, quietly looking at that suspended bronze bell.

Although he had Guang Wen Bell, he was not a person of Guang Wen.

He suddenly remembered that time he had asked Tu Hu, saying that Heaven's knowledge, such a divine ability, shouldn't it be better to hide it deeper? So it would be convenient to accumulate power. Why tell him?

Tu Hu had said before it was like that, but not anymore.

He had asked why.

Tu Hu had said he would know the answer soon.

He didn't expect to wait just these years.

For Tu Hu, who had schemed for hundreds of years just to peel off the Illusion Demon Lord's false face, it perhaps indeed counted as "soon."

But for Jiang Wang... a long time had already passed!

A long time had already passed...

Long enough that history began to blur.

"Seizing God" was of course a long process, but if it wasn't successful this time, this thing probably would never have happened. Like those histories already erased in "History Knife Chiseling Sea."

The "Pastoral Book," which had consumed national power to forcibly leave historical traces, was already "not real."

He Lian Zhao Tu slowly walked in the faith mist.

In the roadside faith mist, there were statues of ancestors.

He was also silent like a statue.

Because he came with national power, walking the old roads of past ancestors, he naturally bore the heavy weight of the world.

With his initial absolute peak level, to confront the omnipresent pressure, every step of this mountain climb was not easy.

Though the road was long, there was always an end. The mountain was high, but finally it would be under his feet.

Finally, he walked the last level of stone steps—

This mountain top was broad like a boundless new world.

Covering the view was an enormous temple, the base of the front stone pillars alone was like a cliff wall, looking for a long time still unable to see the end.

Inside and outside the temple, all were gods ten thousand zhang high.

This shock was hard to describe.

Like an ant, after thousands of hardships, finally crawling to the giant's kingdom.

How could one not feel small?

Only having already ascended to the absolute peak could one view this as insignificant!

Then everything before his eyes was weathered by time.

Only ruins and broken walls remained, vast desolation and emptiness.

Of course, a god still existed, the only god, the eternal faith of Cang Tu God Religion—

That was a deity with a wolf body, eagle wings, and horse feet, just standing so lonely outside the temple.

Conversely, it was not gigantic, only three zhang high, appearing very small before the broken temple stone pillars.

But on this vast mountain top, there was only this one deity!

The Great Shepherd Heavenly Emperor who came with national power?

The Great Shepherd Ancestor who initiated seizing god?

The wolf-eagle-horse god's eyes were cyan, the light slightly drooping, embedded in the wolf head, just looking at He Lian Zhao Tu's eyes like this: "The mountain is high and hard to climb, it was bitter for you too."

The god's voice was desolate, perhaps representing the long history.

"On the Qiong Lu Mountain in the human world, I went up when I was very small, and the road wasn't very hard to walk." He Lian Zhao Tu already stood on the mountain top, the piercing sky wind could not blow him down, he began to walk forward: "The Qiong Lu Mountain in the Heaven Kingdom... is also like this."

He had gone up Qiong Lu Mountain that day when he was still young.

He didn't know too many things, only that his mother suddenly told him to go up the mountain to worship god.

At that time, Bei Gong Nan Tu was still powerful like eternity.

At that time, divine power and royal power had already divided the court for many years. As a descendant of the He Lian clan, he didn't need to serve gods, just go through the motions, verbally saying a few "great gods" was fine... but his mother told him to go, so he naturally went.

Worshipping god required sincerity, one could not ride a sedan, one could not be carried by people, one must respectfully chant the god's name, one step, one kowtow, relying on a pair of feet to walk the ten thousand levels of stone steps.

That year he was eleven years old, his meridians not yet opened. Walking to the end, he didn't remember he still had a pair of legs – but he eventually walked to the end.

He still remembered telling himself in his heart at that time, the children of the He Lian family would eventually conquer this mountain.

"Heh heh heh..." The great Cang Tu God looked at the regent crown prince and laughed strangely: "I also remember that day—"

It suddenly stopped laughing and said abnormally cruelly: "That was the day your father died."

He Lian Zhao Tu looked at It.

The indescribable great deity, under the eagle wings, stretched out a hand. With sharp nails, It stroked the front shoulder of the wolf body, slowly saying: "He left a sword wound on me here. It took me many days to heal."

He Lian Zhao Tu remained silent.

The deity had a tone of sudden realization: "Ah – I almost forgot, he has already been wiped clean by me."

The god's four horse hooves were very strong, like tree roots planted in the ground. In the biting sky wind around He Lian Zhao Tu, they just lightly brushed Its long mane.

It said with a smile: "So you don't remember what he was called. You shouldn't even remember you have a dad. In your memory, there should be no image of a father, you should only remember – when you were very small, he wasn't there, your mother never mentioned him, and you didn't dare to ask."

The god's voice was grand and vast: "It is god that lets you remember, your life is just complete today – haven't you worshipped the god yet?"

He Lian Zhao Tu just walked forward.

In the sky wind, in the freezing snow.

Silently, difficultly walking forward.

Every piece of snow was a mountain pressing on his shoulder. But the snow on his body would eventually melt.

The deity silently gazed for a while.

The space on this mountain top was truly broad. The He Lian family boy, lowering his head like a plowing old farmer, just like this, step by step, as if walking towards eternity.

The deity was probably too bored, so It asked: "That man, the one who chopped me with a sword... I remember he still has a child, that girl is very cute – where is she?"

"Regarding your father, she should remember more than you, because her bloodline is purer, closer to your ancestors – He Lian Qing Tong, before the smoke and clouds scattered, was still trying to pass something to her."

The god laughed inexplicably again.

Humans think, god laughs.

Laugh your mother's laugh.

People live because of thinking, people exist because of thinking, the pursuit of eternity in life lies in "why."

Why did these guys want to laugh from above?

The god again with that overlooking posture, overlooking eyes: "You walked here with great difficulty, isn't there anything you want to say to me?"

He Lian Zhao Tu finally spoke, his expressionless like a stone, also like a stone without emotions said: "All my ancestors died, my father died, my mother also died – these are what you want to tell me."

"You indeed grasp the key points well." The great deity lightly laughed and pondered for a moment: "Then what about you? How do you plan to face all this?"

In the process of walking forward, He Lian Zhao Tu lightly lifted his head. Wind and snow swirled above his head, the true emperor of the grassland, as if wearing his crown. He said—

"Then it's my turn."
