Chapter 1154: The Goshawk Does Not Bow to the Sparrow (Thanks to halfhorn for the Silver Alliance donation again)

Sniffing the fragrance of the gray ambergris candle, Lu Mian, with his eyes closed, felt the malice surging in the depths of his heart. It was as if he had arrived in the fog of history, transforming into the Demon King Fabuti and doing all sorts of wanton and ostentatious things, while simultaneously entering a state of meditation.

Now, he didn't need to use corpse oil candles to sense the "City of Calamity" out of thin air and complete a deep secret pact through meditation.

Soon, Lu Mian floated up, and before his "eyes" emerged the fog stained with a pitch-black luster.

This time, he did not enter the "Magic City" that Franca spoke of, nor did he see the trackless trams carrying heads with spines or the rickshaws pulling bloated women. What entered his vision directly was the ancient well built of flagstones and the iron chains carved with the faces of evil ghosts.

"Law of Beyonder Characteristic Convergence? When I have become a True God of the dual pathways of the Calamity domain, as soon as I make a secret pact, I arrive in the depths of the 'City of Calamity,' at the place where the 'Evil Dragon' is sealed? If not for the seal, I'm afraid I would be facing the 'Evil Dragon' directly..." Lu Mian nodded with a realization.

He did not delay, quickly diving into the mirror surface formed by the blood-colored well water, then traversing the various scenes he had explored before, arriving at the gray-white square where he had once encountered the mirror-image Alista Tudor. Outside the formless barrier, he saw the giant black shadow coiled at the bottom of the blood-colored ocean, occupying an area the size of a giant metropolis.

He stopped.

At the same time, outside the wooden tower locking the "Evil Dragon," a figure appeared out of thin air, composed of countless virtual and transparent things.

He wore blue robes, a classical high crown, and held a horsetail whisk in his hand. His face was like beautiful jade, but he looked withered.

The contemporary "Celestial Master."

After the "Primordial Demoness" finally caught the "Mother Tree of Desire" and began to fuse, he finally didn't have to maintain the gray-white fog.

Beside him, two more figures were outlined:

One wore yellow monk's robes, wrapped in a red cassock, with ring scars on his head, a round face, and white whiskers hanging to his chest. He was always smiling, appearing very kind and amiable;

One wore pitch-black robes with many strange patterns, his face pale without a trace of blood, his eyes so deep and black that it seemed even light would be sucked in.

The former was the manifestation of the "Buddha," the "Holy Monk" jointly pushed by the various sects of the Shramana; the latter was the sect leader of the Haoli lineage—the "Underworld Daoist." Since entering the "River of Eternal Darkness" to suppress the remnant soul of the "Blood Emperor," he was equivalent to having already died, but his consciousness had not yet completely merged into the "River of Eternal Darkness." He could still do a few things, but he could no longer walk out, just like the Haoli sect leaders before and after him.

"Two fellow daoists, thank you for your trouble." The "Celestial Master" placed one hand on his chest and nodded.

Before he finished speaking, in the shadow of the Dragon-Locking Tower, darkness condensed, forming a person.

That person wore wide black robes, draped in long hair that was black with white streaks, his appearance refined, his temples graying, and he walked out with a smile:

"How can you not count me in?"

Before the "Celestial Master" could respond, the high sky suddenly lit up.

The four people present looked up simultaneously, seeing a vague giant gate through the layered white clouds.

At the gate, a giant figure was faint and indistinct, wearing an imperial high crown, his face covered by rows of beads.

The "Celestial Master" said no more, walked to the stone tablet in front of the wooden tower, and pressed his hand onto it.

The next second, the iron chains in the ancient well all retracted upward, emitting the sound of metal colliding.

This caused the blood-colored well water to splash, no longer having the feeling of a mirror surface.

Lu Mian, standing on the gray-white square, immediately felt the barrier isolating the blood-colored ocean from this mirror world loosen, having a "gap" that could be utilized.

As the "Master of the Mirror World," he immediately turned virtual, passed through, and returned to reality.

The blood-colored ocean surged to his side, eroding his soul, attempting to merge with him.

Lu Mian immediately felt the malice hidden in his heart surge outward, detaching from his mind body and spirit body in the form of viscous black liquid.

These streams of black liquid lurked toward the surroundings of the blood-colored ocean in a dispersed manner, neutralizing the black dots suspended in the seawater.

Lu Mian didn't care about the actions of the Demon King Fabuti, casting his gaze forward, toward the giant black shadow he had seen before but couldn't see clearly.

That black shadow was extremely long, coiled like a snake, but even so, it occupied an area nearly the size of Trier.

Its body seemed to be composed of two giant pythons intertwined, one covered in scales as deep and black as iron, the other as white as jade, with very weak scale sensation. Where they touched, flesh and blood were connected, bones crossed; seemingly two, but actually one.

Iron-black chains with evil ghost reliefs passed through this giant body, back and forth, extending toward the blood sea.

Sensing the movement of Lu Mian's entry, the behemoth slowly raised its head.

It also had three heads!

The head connected to the black body, located on the left, had a head like a camel, horns like a deer, ears like a cow, eyes of iron-black, and was covered in blood-colored hair;

Growing from the snow-white "snake body" was the head of a female human. It had black hair and brown eyes, was full of charm, and was stunningly beautiful, somewhat resembling Cheek, or rather, Cheek somewhat resembled it.

Another head was located between these two heads, formed by the rotation of liquid containing all colors and all possibilities. Its eyes, nose, ears, and mouth each had one or two holes chiseled out.

It separated the other two heads, preventing them from aggregating, allowing them to exist stably. Below it, it seemed as if a formless object had turned into a neck, supporting it from above, and was implanted into the two intertwined "snake" bodies below.

"You have three heads too..." Lu Mian suddenly laughed.

He then mocked Adam in his heart:

Your hypothesis failed at the last step!

If not for Alista Tudor and Cheek stumbling into it, your "experiment" this time would also have failed!

"Yin contains Yang, Yang contains Yin, Yin and Yang combine to start all things" was indeed correct before the last step, and it was the only way, but to accommodate the "City of Calamity" in such a state would inevitably lead to big problems.

The phrase "Yin and Yang combine to start all things" actually hinted at the ending:

How do all things start? By the "Original Creator" creating this world!

When Yin and Yang combine, the Original returns, so all things start!

Of course, what returns is not the complete "Original Creator," but the "Original Creator in the Mirror" who can maintain stability to a certain extent, not directly bringing about the destruction and restart of the entire universe.

In the First Epoch, the first extra Sefirah accommodated by the "Original God" was the "City of Calamity." Besides her truly craving this Sefirah, she probably also foresaw that something was wrong, felt the problem, and through her own joining and the obstruction of the chaotic head, made "Yin" and "Yang" unable to truly and completely return to one, interrupting the progress of their fusion.

All things are three, three begets all things; only then is it stable.

Lu Mian, with three heads and six faces, looked at the "Evil Dragon" which also had three heads, laughing very wantonly.

…………

Inside the wooden tower.

【Author's note: Look at it one by one!】

The "Celestial Master," "Holy Monk," Haoli sect leader, and the one calling himself "Master of the Dark Hut" all sat down beside the Dragon-Locking Well, each occupying a spot.

A wilderness suddenly appeared beneath the "Celestial Master," and a pure, transcendent halo emerged behind the "Holy Monk's" head.

In front of the Haoli sect leader, a straight, wide, and dark river flowed out from the void, flowing into that ancient well.

Seeing this, the "Master of the Dark Hut" looked up and laughed, allowing the shadowy, dark world to descend here.

At the top of the wooden tower, a light that was blue with white also shone in, shining directly on the Dragon-Locking Well.

The sound of clanging rang out, and the iron chains embedded in the well wall all glowed and shook violently.

Lu Mian's battle with the "Evil Dragon," or rather, Lu Mian accommodating the "City of Calamity," was something that high-level beings like the "Celestial Master" could not directly intervene in. They could only use the existing seal to limit and weaken the "Evil Dragon."

…………

Bottom of the blood-colored ocean.

The "Evil Dragon's" six eyes all looked toward Lu Mian, and a powerful sense of oppression suddenly descended on this world.

Lu Mian, holding the thought that "if I can persuade the opponent, I can save a lot of time, and trying won't lose anything," laughed and "instigated":

"I know, you crave war, crave destruction, crave to conquer everything, crave to make those who don't obey you return to chaos.

"If you are willing to merge into my body, I will take you to participate in the highest level of war, making those so-called great beings all bow to you, or be destroyed by you."

When Lu Mian spoke, Cheek's face turned to the front, eager to say something, to "instigate" a few words, but unfortunately, she couldn't speak.

The "Evil Dragon" stared at Lu Mian for a few seconds, and the two heads on the left and right made sounds simultaneously.

One was masculine, one was soft and charming, overlapping and echoing in the surroundings:

"The goshawk will not bow to the sparrow, the true dragon will not take orders from a wild dog.

"If you want to take all this, come and defeat me, kill me!"

Hearing this, Lu Mian suddenly felt a bit excited, and Alista Tudor's face was the same. His eyes had turned iron-black, full of burning passion.

Lu Mian then raised his right hand, removed the dark gold mask from the center of the head on his left shoulder, allowing the face formed by the chaotic vortex to emerge.

He laughed loudly:

"Then let's fight!"

…………

Ruined World.

The blood-red full moon above the gray-white fog outside the Western Continent was fighting against the marionettes manipulated by Klein while frantically suppressing the "Mother Tree of Desire."

Suddenly, inside this blood-red full moon, suspected to be the location of the core, a strange sound was emitted:

Thump! Thump! Thump!

It was like a fetus being gestated, emitting its own heartbeat from inside the mother's body.

Before the fetus was truly born, it actually penetrated the mother's body directly, echoing in all places illuminated by the blood-colored moonlight.
