831 The Relationship Between Divine Weapons and Bloodlines (2)
The Treasure Distribution Rock had already been destroyed by the lightning. Now, Zhou Shu was on the Two Region Mountain.
But not many people knew the Two Region Mountain, so outsiders still habitually called it the Treasure Distribution Rock.
Previously, on the battlefield, Zhou Shu had distributed treasures and forged weapons. He was too eye-catching.
Seeing the dozens of demonic beasts tied up like dumplings under the Treasure Distribution Rock, Zhou Shu fell silent. Do these human Grotto-Heaven realm experts have nothing to do?
Hu Li widened his bell-like eyes. “Shi Changsheng, what do you humans mean by this? If you want to fight, so be it. What are you capturing demonic beasts alive?”
Zhou Shu and Yao Buqi rolled their eyes at the same time. They really didn’t know how Hu Li’s thought process worked. What was he thinking all day?
Hu Li had killed many demonic beasts and captured them alive. Was there any point in him saying this now?
“Hu Li, you’re injured. Go recuperate first. I’ll get someone to call you over when I find a solution,” Zhou Shu said casually.
Since the human experts had sent some demonic beasts, it was a good time to continue his attempts.
On the Treasure Distribution Rock, light kept flickering, and from time to time, explosions resounded.
Yao Buqi’s heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, he had rejected Zhou Shu. Otherwise, he would be one of the demonic beasts whose head exploded!
The heads of demonic beasts kept exploding like watermelons under Zhou Shu’s hands. This scene made people’s hair stand on end.
After the last demonic beast’s head exploded, Yao Buqi couldn’t help approaching Zhou Shu and asking, “King Zhou, what are you trying to do?”
Zhou Shu looked thoughtful as he sized up Yao Buqi, making Yao Buqi feel uncomfortable. “King Zhou, I’m your loyal lackey…”
“Don’t worry. You’re still useful. I won’t let you die.” Zhou Shu let out a long sigh. Using divine weapons to make demonic beasts regain their sanity wouldn’t work.
It seemed that the reason why Hu Li wasn’t affected by heavenly slaves might not be because of the divine weapon. Or rather, only demonic beasts who had refined connate divine weapons in their lucid state could resist the influence of heavenly slaves.
Of course, it was also possible that it was because Hu Li was a Demon King.
In short, Zhou Shu’s attempt ended in complete defeat.
Every time he controlled a crazy demonic beast to refine a connate divine weapon, just as they were about to regain consciousness, a mysterious power immediately descended from the sky and caused their head to explode.
Zhou Shu raised his head and looked at the huge crack that crossed the two worlds in the sky. In the crack, there seemed to be some mysterious power descending continuously, increasing the strength of demonic beasts.
“Heaven…” Zhou Shu muttered.
Is there really no way to let demonic beasts regain their consciousness? He frowned, unable to think of any other way.
“King Zhou, were you trying to use divine weapons to wake those demonic beasts up?” Yao Buqi asked weakly.
Zhou Shu looked at Yao Buqi. He suddenly realized that although Yao Buqi had always been staying on the Two Region Mountain, the Two Region Mountain was different from a grotto-heaven. It was not an independent small world. Was Yao Buqi able to stay conscious because he had an intrinsic divine weapon?
“Yao Buqi, tell me. If you leave the Two Region Mountain, what is it like when you feel you’re going crazy?” Zhou Shu replied with a question.
“How should I put it?” Yao Buqi pondered. “Once I leave the range of the Two Region Mountain, a voice in my mind will keep telling me to kill all the humans I see. The voice makes it impossible for me to think at all. I feel like I have to listen to the voice and become a bloodthirsty beast.”
Listening to Yao Buqi’s description, Zhou Shu frowned harder and harder. He couldn’t tell anything special from Yao Buqi’s description.
The control of demonic beasts by heavenly slaves, or rather, Heaven, should be related to their bloodlines. If he wanted to sever this control, he had to start from their bloodlines.
It was useless to use connate divine weapons.
… Unless the connate divine weapons were connected to the bloodlines.
Zhou Shu pondered. In his previous life, in some of the movies and television shows he had seen, there would be some peerless divine weapons that could only be activated by certain bloodlines. Before, he had felt that this was nonsense. Divine weapons were divine weapons. Although they would recognize their master, it didn’t mean that only this person’s children and grandchildren could use it.
Now, a thought appeared in his mind. If he really connected a divine weapon with a bloodline, would he be able to sever the factors in a demonic beast’s bloodline that Heaven controlled and let the demonic beast regain consciousness?
But how could he connect connate divine weapons to bloodlines?
Seeing Zhou Shu deep in thought, Yao Buqi quietly retreated and stopped others from disturbing him.
Time passed by bit by bit. Rumbling sounds kept coming from the distance. The war between the Demon Realm army and the human army erupted again and became more and more intense.
People from the grotto-heavens kept coming from all directions to support.
The various nations also kept sending people over. Although they were not very strong, they could still provide some logistics support.
This concerned the survival of the human race, and no one could stay out of it.
Under the attack of the Demon Realm, the barrier between the two worlds that Zhou Shu had repaired had already been damaged again. Now, be it humans or demonic beasts, they could see the existence of the barrier with the naked eye.
The barrier, which was like a giant net, was covered in dense cracks, looking as if it could shatter at any moment.
At the same time, the various grotto-heavens had already begun to consider an escape route. They mobilized the strength of the various nations to set up layers of defense from the Ten Nations Continent to the edge of the Endless Sea and began to move the citizens of the Ten Nations to the Endless Sea. If they really couldn’t withstand the attacks of the demonic beasts, they would evacuate the citizens of the Ten Nations into the grotto-heavens and preserve the human race.
Zhou Shu didn’t participate in any of this.
He sat motionless at the top of the Two Region Mountain. This state carried on for more than a month. During this period of time, people kept coming to look for him, but Shi Songtao and Yao Buqi blocked them all.
“Yao Buqi, activate the Two Region Mountain and retreat to the Endless Sea.”
Yin Wuyou had already arrived on the Two Region Mountain. She coughed, and there was constantly blood at the corner of her mouth.
Previously, in order to repair the barrier between the two worlds, she had temporarily become the master of the Great Wei imperial cauldron. Now, the attacks on the barrier would be reflected on the masters of the Ten Imperial Cauldrons. As the master of the Great Wei imperial cauldron, Yin Wuyou naturally suffered this backlash.
She wasn’t the only one. Emperor Yuan Feng and the emperors of the other nations were also suffering from the backlash day and night.
“Retreat now? King Zhou didn’t give any orders,” Yao Buqi said. “Can’t the front line hold on anymore?”
“If we retreat when we can’t hold on anymore, it will be too late.” Yin Wuyou shook her head. “Zhou Shu is a forger, so he doesn’t need to stay at the front line. Move the Two Region Mountain to the Endless Sea. It’s safer there.”
Yao Buqi was a little tempted, but he knew what Zhou Shu was comprehending. If he retreated now, what if Zhou Shu blamed him?
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a loud bang in front of them. An intense light exploded several kilometers away, and the sound of fighting entered their ears.
“Yao Buqi, are you not going to listen to me?” Yin Wuyou’s expression changed slightly.
“It’s not that…” He knew that Yin Wuyou was Zhou Shu’s woman, but he was still a little worried.
“Go! If you disturb Zhou Shu, I won’t let you off!”
After Yin Wuyou finished speaking, her figure turned into a stream of light and rushed toward the front line. There, Meng Bai and the other soldiers were desperately resisting the Demon Realm army.
