Don't worry, the file is being read.

Chapter 65: For my human race, we will continue for another hundred years.

Under the dim light, Ji Xiu sat at his desk, flipping through the list of members of the Black Hole Organization in his hand, his thoughts swirling.

This list is actually not important anymore.

Because Zuo Yi had already made all the preparations for his departure, no one could escape except for a few such as Xia Gengzhu and Xiang Ming. They were all part of the plan.

After learning the truth, Ji Xiu's inner shock could not subside for a long time.

In addition to Zuo Yi, it turns out that Xia Gengzhu is not the betrayer he imagined. He is the mole placed by the great envoy Duan Ming around Zuo Yi in order to investigate the whereabouts of the sacred tree and Zuo Yi's detailed plan.

He could also understand why Xia Gengzhu was unwilling to disclose any information about Zuo Yi when he was interrogated by Lei Yan.

Because he is an undercover agent himself, and many people are involved behind his back, including the Great Divine Envoy Duan Ming. If his identity is exposed, the Great Divine Envoy Duan Ming may be implicated.

Although they are both great envoys, Zuo Yi's power in Yu Jing Kingdom is equivalent to that of a high priest, and cannot be competed by the great envoy Duan Ming.

This time Zuo Yi revealed the truth. If analyzed from Xia Gengzhu's perspective, he knew that Xia Gengzhu would eventually agree to Zuo Yi and become the next Zuo Yi.

This is exactly why Zuo Yi chose Xia Gengzhu.

Before leaving the room where the files were stored, Zuo Yi's words were still echoing in Ji Xiu's mind.

"Why don't I want the perfect ending that Shenshu and the others are looking forward to, but such perfection only exists in stories. Expectations cannot change the future. Without sacrifice and death, the ideal Yu Jingguo can never become a reality. The long night before the arrival of hope Doomed to endure darkness.”

"Eh."

While sighing, Ji Xiu put himself in someone else's shoes and thought about how he would break the situation if he were the high priest in charge of Yu Jingguo.

The answer to this question has actually been given by two people.

Either choose the path of the sacred tree and continue to consume the wealth left by Yu Jing's predecessors until Yu Jing's country declines, but at least the recent generations are happy.

Either choose the path of Zuo Yi and exchange for the glory of future generations through the sacrifices of these two generations.

One is a conservative path, and the other is a radical future path.

Either sacrifice the future or sacrifice the present.

Zuo Yi and Shenshu gave different answers to this multiple-choice question.

There is no doubt about Zuo Yi's guilt, but it means an endless road ahead for future generations.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiu decided that he would accompany Zuo Yi as Xia Gengzhu to witness the last part of the plan.

Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.

the following year.

In the second year of following Zuo Yi, Ji Xiu understood why Zuo Yi wanted him to study Yu Jing's theology.

Because Yu Jing’s theology is the foundation of this country, only by understanding the development history of Yu Jing’s church can we truly understand the system of Yu Jing’s country.

All of this is laying the foundation for future promotions.

Zuo Yi is an absolute pragmatist. In his eyes, there is no so-called qualifications when it comes to job promotion. He takes the position when he has the ability. This has been the case with the envoys promoted by Zuo Yi over the years, many of whom are very young.

The learning process was also Zuo Yi's subsequent test for him.

In order to be able to witness Zuo Yi's plan, Ji Xiu chose to calm down and work hard.

Ji Xiu, who was a top student in time travel, still feels pressured in front of Zuo Yi.

In addition to understanding the Yu Jing system and the Yu Jing system, history is also an important course for him, and he needs to have an in-depth understanding of each historical stage of the development of the Yu Jing country.

At the same time, Zuo Yi will personally coach him to understand the economic and trade situation of Yu Jingguo, as well as the rights exercised by the divine envoys.

Others include Yu Jing law, sociology, alliance relations, Yu Jing military science, crisis management... During the continuous learning and self-improvement, Ji Xiu discovered that Zuo Yi is simply an all-round talent. Under his guidance, Even the thinking logic for thinking about problems has been improved.

It was also this year that Zuo Yi took off the sacred ring hanging from the neck of the sacred tree and decided to be officially promoted to the high priest of Yu Jing.

Inheriting the divine ring means that he will become the new agent of divinity, which is also an important part of his plan to transform his soul into the God of Fear.

Zuo Yi had not chosen to do this before because he knew there would be too many objections.

Because the person who announced this order was Zuo Yi himself, not the highly anticipated return of the Sacred Tree High Priest.

But there was not much time left for Zuo Yi, and he could no longer care about any objections.

The promotion ceremony was held in the God-Praying Square of Starlight City. A huge golden formation was arranged in advance. Thousands of divine envoys were present, each standing at a node in the formation, waiting to crown Zuo Yi.

The time came to seven o'clock in the morning.

As the morning dawned, the sun shone across the earth, illuminating the golden formation on the God-Praying Square.

When Zuo Yi announced his promotion to high priest in the name of the sacred tree and the promotion formation was about to be activated, the two great envoys Duan Ming and Xuanba arrived with a group of figures.

"I object. How can you announce your promotion to the high priest before the high priest arrives?"

"I also object. We want to see the high priest of the sacred tree. If he announces you as the heir in front of us, we will agree that you are the new high priest."

Looking at Duan Ming and Xuanba, both great envoys, a smile appeared on Zuo Yi's face:
  "Is your objection meaningful?"

"Zuo Yi, you are seizing power. Do you really want to plunge Yu Jingguo into turmoil? Do you really think that you can cover the sky with one hand in Yujingguo?" Duan Ming, who was wearing the golden robe of the great envoy, shouted angrily in a deep voice. .

As he spoke, Duan Ming pointed at the six members of the Shenyi team who were on the scene at an unknown time.

"The Shenyi Team is still here, and the future of our country, Yu Jingguo, is not decided by you alone."

After hearing these words, Ji Xiu, who was standing next to Zuo Yi, followed Duan Ming's direction and looked in the distance where Lei Yan and others were standing.

In fact, the intimidation of the Divine Heritage Team was one of the reasons why Zuo Yi never chose to become the high priest.

But he has less than two years to live and can no longer wait.

For this reason, Zuo Yi has already buried all his power in the Prayer Square for many years, including the sleeping An An who has also arrived secretly.

No matter what, even if he is the enemy of the Shenyi Team, Zuo Yi will be promoted to high priest today to obtain the divinity left by Yu Jingshen.

Facing the threat, Zuo Yi stood in front of the golden throne with his white hair dancing in the wind. He looked at the six members of the Shenyi team standing at the edge of the square and said calmly:

"The Divine Heritage Team is the patron saint of my country, Yu Jing. I believe they will make the right choice and stand by my side."

Zuo Yi, who said this, had a majestic look in his eyes that could not be rejected. This sentence did not sound like a question, but more like telling the Shenyi team what they should do.

Hearing these words, even the two high priests Duan Ming and Xuanba looked a little unbelievable.

They thought that Zuo Yi would choose to win over the Divine Legacy Team, but they did not expect that he would openly threaten the Divine Legacy Team in front of thousands of people.

This can no longer be described as arrogant. It is simply a blatant challenge to Yu Jingshen's authority granted to the Shenyi Team.

Seeing this scene, Leyi, who was standing behind Lei Yan, slowly clenched his fists and gritted his teeth:
  "Old bastard, you really don't take us seriously... Let's not fight with him!"

"Don't move. Brother Xiu's plan is still going on. Maybe the truth is not far away. We must keep calm." Daxing reached out and grabbed Le Yi who was about to explode, and said in a deep voice.

"I... I'm so angry." Le Yi's face was full of reluctance.

"Since you choose to believe in him, then keep believing and don't let his efforts over the years go to waste." Lei Yan also advised at this time.

the other side.

Zuo Yi was surprised when he found that no one in the Divine Heritage Team had any reaction.

He was ready for a battle with the Divine Legacy Team, but things didn't seem to be going in the direction he expected.

The members of the Divine Heritage Team were actually... silent.

Even the two great envoys Duan Ming and Xuanba were dumbfounded.

This was completely different from what they expected. In their eyes, the Divine Legacy Team was the only force that could easily suppress Zuo Yi. However, it could be seen from the reactions of the members of the Divine Legacy Team that they seemed to have acquiesced in Zuo Yi's promotion.

At this moment, Duan Ming sighed decadently, turned and left.

He knew he had failed.

After years of planning and investigation, not only did they not find the high priest of the sacred tree, but they also failed to investigate Zuo Yi's detailed plan.

"The prayer ceremony begins!"

Zuo Yi's voice echoed over the city, and the golden formation rose into the sky. Thousands of divine envoys recited the ancient Yu Jing oath in unison. The sound turned into beating golden characters and merged into the formation. Thousands of golden lights shot towards the god on Zuo Yi's neck. The rings gathered together and eventually turned into golden characters imprinted on the surface of the left prosthetic body.

At the same time, the golden pattern mark on the body of the sacred tree that was sealed under the Ancient Tree of Fear began to fade.

Divinity begins to transfer with the help of prayer rituals.

When Zuo Yi's body was shrouded in golden light, he successfully obtained the ray of divinity left by God Yu Jing and became the high priest of Yu Jing in the true sense.

The broadcast of the promotion ceremony was broadcast in the five major cities. When the golden light released by the formation dissipated, thousands of cheers resounded throughout the major cities. Among them, many fanatical followers of Zuo Yi like You Hong came to the Prayer Square in person to cheer for Zuo Yi's coronation.

Seeing the spiritual leader they follow become the high priest is the best outcome in their ideals.

In their eyes, Zuo Yi deserves this position.

Even though they saw the opposition of Duan Ming and the Great Envoy Xuanba with their own eyes, Zuo Yi was always the most suitable successor to the position of high priest in their eyes.

……

The year after Zuo Yi ascended to the throne, Duan Ming and Xuanba abdicated on their own initiative.

Ji Xiu also officially replaced Xia Gengzhu and got used to how to contact Zuo Yi.

With Zuo Yi's help, he was promoted quickly.

Junior divine envoys, advanced divine envoys, guardian divine envoys, companion divine envoys... are only one step away from the position of great divine envoys.

His rapid promotion attracted too many voices of opposition, but these voices were suppressed by Zuo Yi.

Because Xia Gengzhu is the best successor in Zuo Yi's eyes, a radical reformer different from conservatives, and another self who can do anything for the rise of Yu Jingguo.

Time came to the fourth year of Xia Gengzhu's soul transfer. Ji Xiu was officially promoted to the Great Divine Envoy, and his name was engraved on the sacred pillar in the central square of the Yujing Temple.

At this time, Zuo Yi was already very old. He was so old that he had no human appearance, and no part of his body was intact after being corroded by the power of fear.

On this day, Ji Xiu’s representative Zuo Yi was responding to the latest battle report from overseas.

At this time, the space around him was distorted, and Zuo Yi arrived quietly.

Turning around to look, Zuo Yi, who was full of white hair, was hunched over, and the blood in his eyes seemed to be overflowing, shining with scarlet light.

"Xiaozhu, it's time for me to go."

Hearing these words, Ji Xiu's body trembled:
  "teacher……."

"Let's go and accompany me on the last journey."

"Yes." Ji Xiu nodded. He knew that this timeline was coming to an end and he would witness the final closure of the plan.

But for some reason, there was a trace of reluctance in his heart.

Through these years of contact, he saw Zuo Yi's ruthlessness and determination, but he also saw his love for Yu Jingguo.

At this time, a space formation appeared under Zuo Yi's feet, which quickly enlarged and enveloped their bodies. Xiang Ming, wearing a white smiling face mask, appeared in front of them.

"Xiao Ming, after I leave, I will continue to assist Xiao Zhu in taking over."

"Don't worry, I will do it." Xiang Ming nodded solemnly, a sad face appeared on the smiling mask, and even a tear shed on the mask.

"Send us there."

At this moment, Xiang Ming squatted down and pressed his palm on the space formation. Suddenly, the space formation burst out with bright light.

When the light dissipated, Ji Xiu found himself in front of the high wall in the north that resisted the black tide.

His body was lifted up by an invisible force, and he followed Zuo Yi to fly high into the sky against the flying snow, and finally landed on the high-walled corridor.

Looking at the world outside the wall shrouded in endless surging pitch black, flying snow slapped Zuo Yi's cheeks, blowing up his long pale hair. The falling snowflakes intertwined with the silver hair, making it difficult to distinguish. His weather-beaten face was full of traces of time, and his deep eyes The loneliness can't be concealed in the eyes:
  "My road has finally come to an end."

The white robe was fluttering in the wind and snow. Against the background of the flying snow, Zuo Yi's figure looked extremely tragic and lonely in Ji Xiu's eyes.

"That ravine is my graveyard for the rest of my life, and maybe it's also where you belong."

Looking in the direction of Zuo Yi's finger, Ji Xiu could clearly see the huge ravine under the high wall that had been eroded by the black mist.

"Xiaozhu, it's time to say goodbye."

Zuo Yi took out the blood-colored spiritual liquid he carried with him, looked into the dead world of black mist, drank the last sip, and said with a smile:

"Looking at the history of the human race, maybe I am the only human warrior who crossed the high wall and fought against the black tide. This can be regarded as creating a new history."

Ji Xiu said nothing, looking at Zuo Yi's old face, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.

"Don't feel sorry for me, and don't let me down."

At this moment, Zuo Yi no longer suppressed the power of fear surging in his body, and the bloody flames instantly ignited his body. Looking at Zuo Yi laughing in pain, Ji Xiu trembled in his heart.

He knew that Zuo Yi was about to leave.

"Kuroshio, here I come!"

Zuo Yi looked at the black mist surging outside the high wall. A hoarse voice squeezed out of his throat. When the words fell, the bronze door far behind the high wall shook violently.

Not long after, a huge bloody demon statue standing tall on the ground penetrated the ground to reveal its true form, flew towards the high wall, and finally hovered above Zuo Yi's head.

Zuo Yi's flesh and blood gradually dissipated under the burning flames, and his divine soul became more and more dazzling in the burning flames.

The soul and divine body were about to merge, and the words Zuo Yi had said flashed through Ji Xiu's mind.

"I have never given up my belief in Yu Jingshen, but the future of the human race cannot continue to rely on expectations of Yu Jingshen. We have to find a path that can continue even without Yu Jingshen."

"I just want to do something that others don't dare to think or do. You all say that mortals are not enough to defeat gods, so I will create a god to protect Yu Jingguo."

"Only after you have gone the way you should go can you take the path you want to take. Power is just a tool for me to realize my ideals."

"The Great Pass is really like iron. Now that I have crossed it from the beginning, I will embark on a new journey with the body of the God of Fear. I will burn out in the battle and fight for a glimmer of life for the descendants of my human race."

"Xiao Zhu, my journey is coming to an end. If I fail many years later, when the human race has not yet had the strength to contend with the Black Tide Natural Disaster, I will embark on the path I have taken, gather the power of fear, and become the next Black Hole God. Block the invasion of the black tide on my corpse, and fight for the continuation of my human race for another hundred years."

All of this was foreshadowed as early as that year's decisive battle in Parliament.

That impassioned roar was not a disguise, but Zuo Yi's oath to Yu Jingguo:
  "In the name of the great envoy of Yu Jingguo, I declare that Yu Jingguo has officially entered the stage of war mobilization. We will defend our Yu Jingguo's offshore resources at all costs. We will never bow our heads or surrender. We will reject all future demands for compensation. Starting today, all civilian ships will be requisitioned. This is not a request, this is an order. If you do not agree with my decision, then vote to remove me from the position of Great Envoy!"

"If some problems are not dealt with now, our descendants will have to bear them, but they cannot afford them. We must shoulder all responsibilities and open up a future path for them."

In order to build the ideal future, Zuo Yi spent decades planning the layout.

No one can imagine that the true purpose of the evil Black Hole Organization... is actually redemption.

When Zuo Yi's soul broke away from his body and merged with the fearful god's body, scarlet flames ignited in the god's dead eyes and swept across his body.

At this moment, Zuo Yi controlled the god's body to raise his right hand.

In an instant, space formations appeared over the five distant cities of Yujing at the same time, and fear marks appeared in the center of the formations.

Almost at the same time, all members of the Black Hole Organization fell to the ground, wailing in pain, and marks of fear appeared on their foreheads.

Bloody flames emerged from the fear brand, burning the bodies of the Black Hole Organization members into blood mist, and flew towards the space formation suspended high in the sky under the pull of invisible force.

This is the last link of Zuoyi's plan.

Each member of the Black Hole Organization has a brand of fear implanted in his body. This brand is a means of keeping secrets in the eyes of the Black Hole Organization members, but none of them know that this brand has a secret that has never been revealed.

That is the blood slave brand.

These turbulent and troublesome elements will become the nourishment of Zuoyi Dengshen.

Before leaving, Zuo Yi will completely eradicate the members of the Black Hole Organization who have troubled Yu Jingguo for decades and create a clear environment for Xia Gengzhu's era.

In Zuo Yi's vision, if black hole forces appear in the future, it proves that Xia Gengzhu will follow in his footsteps and embark on a relay road to guard the cracks.

Thousands of blood rays flowed through the space and poured into the fearful god's body.

Zuo Yi's body continued to rise under the blessing of blood light, and the huge body of the statue seemed to come alive, exuding endless vitality.

"Xiaozhu, don't try to wash away my sins after I leave. My sins cannot be washed away. On this path, I never expected to be understood and forgiven by anyone."

Zuo Yi's voice rang in his mind for the last time, this time he was less lonely and more determined.

After the words fell, Zuo Yi controlled the divine body to cross the high wall, and the tearing and surging black mist fell in front of the crack in the high wall.

In an instant, endless dark monsters emerged from the black mist and pounced on Zuo Yi's frightened body, as if they wanted to tear his body into pieces.

With Zuo Yi's laughter, the flames of fear that emerged from the god's body as he raised his hand turned into a tide and swept into the darkness. Countless monsters were corroded and disappeared in the blood tide.

The emotions that have always been suppressed are released heartily.

Facing the endless darkness, Zuo Yi stepped on the ground and stood in front of the crack. His figure was gradually covered by the endless black mist, but it could not cover up the bright red light that continued to shine.

"I, Zuo Yi, will continue my race for another hundred years!"

The old laughter reverberated between heaven and earth, and Ji Xiu's eyes suddenly blurred with tears.
