Chapter 179 Mission
The white surroundings gradually faded away, and the great palace towering above the nine heavens suddenly appeared before Jiang Siming's eyes.
On the throne, the person wearing a nine-dragon golden robe and looking down at everyone looked exactly like Jiang Siming.
Tens of thousands of immortals came to pay homage, and countless figures prostrated themselves in the hall. The sound of the avenue was like the mighty power of heaven, resounding throughout the entire palace.
"What on earth is this place?" Jiang Siming couldn't help but mutter to himself as he looked at everything in front of him.
Jiang Siming slowly stepped into the hall, but the people who were bowing seemed unable to see his existence.
Time seems to be frozen.
"You're finally here! I meet you again!" The figure on the throne slowly stood up and looked down at Jiang Siming below.
"It's you!" Jiang Siming looked at the figure who looked exactly like him without any retreat in his eyes.
"who are you?"
"I am your past. You can call me the ancient king."
Jiang Siming looked in shock at the man in front of him who looked exactly like him and claimed to be from his past.
The ancient king saw the shock in Jiang Siming's eyes and slowly walked down from the throne.
Jiang Siming looked at the ancient king who was getting closer to him, and a sense of oppression that came over him instantly.
"I have fought many battles throughout my life. I created this huge fairyland with my own hands, and I provided food for these people. However, these people actually wanted to oppose me. They all deserve to die!" The ancient king waved his hand, and the figures who were worshipping in front of him instantly turned into ashes and disappeared without a trace.
"I advocate equality for all living beings. I created a cultivation system. It was I who gave these untouchables hope to survive. Even though they betrayed me, I still tried my best to keep them alive. However, these fools were clever and subverted the fairyland. I watched with my own eyes my people die at the hands of hundreds of millions of monsters. Was I wrong?" The majestic voice of the ancient king resounded throughout the hall.
The hall was shaking for a moment, and Jiang Siming couldn't help feeling a little sad.
Outside the hall, the originally sacred sky was now shrouded in the blood-red setting sun.
The increasingly loud sounds of fighting reached Jiang Siming's ears, and the prayers and wails of countless creatures filled Jiang Siming's mind.
"Look at these untouchables. What they got in return for the wisdom they were so proud of was only endless slaughter! They thought that by overthrowing my rule, they could gain true freedom. Little did they know that it was my existence that created peace for countless epochs after the advent of the gate between the two worlds." The majestic voice of the ancient king sounded again, but with a hint of helplessness and sadness.
Jiang Siming unconsciously turned his head to look at the fire outside the hall that had risen up at some point, illuminating the gradually darkening sky.
"What kind of monster is this?" Jiang Siming looked in horror at the countless humanoid monsters outside the hall, emitting thick black aura and killing people indiscriminately.
Jiang Siming turned around and saw the ancient king standing in front of him. His eyes were like flowing stars, and he seemed to be able to see through everything.
"You are my present life, destined to shoulder my mission."
"Why should I believe that you are my past?" Jiang Siming had come back to his senses at this moment. Although he had already believed the other party's words, he was still unwilling to believe in the past and present lives. Moreover, even if Jiang Siming reached the peak of Douluo's combat power, what could he do?
Although Jiang Siming didn't know how powerful the ancient king was, he could easily freeze a world with the power of Jiang Siming's body. To describe his strength as unfathomable was an understatement.
If such an existence cannot fulfill its mission, what else can I do?
"Coward! I am really disappointed in you!" The ancient king snorted coldly, with a look of disappointment in his eyes.
"I will take responsibility for what I should take. No one can control my choices and make decisions for me! Even if you are really my past. I am different from you now." Jiang Siming said firmly while looking at the ancient king.
"System! Exit the Zhu Xian Sword Assessment!"
However, the familiar mechanical sound of the system did not appear, and Jiang Siming still remained in the grand palace.
A domineering aura instantly burst out from Gu Laowang, and a huge sense of oppression made Jiang Siming almost unable to breathe.
"Do you think you can escape? This mission is firmly bound to you and me. You have no choice at all! Those monsters will continue to pour out of the gate between the two worlds, eroding the heavens and the world bit by bit! Do you think you can live in peace for a while? Idiot!"
"What on earth do you want to do?" Jiang Siming had a ferocious expression as he looked at the ancient king who was looking down at him.
"I am worthy of my people. It was them who rescued me from the gate between the two worlds, and it was they who wanted to kill me. I owe no one anything in my life! I am still the number one king in all the heavens and worlds!" The ancient king shouted loudly, his majesty and tyranny seemed to penetrate the entire hall and echo in the high nine heavens.
The domineering and majestic voice exploded in Jiang Siming's ears like thunder, but it revealed a hint of determination and regret.
The surrounding palaces collapsed layer by layer, turning into ruins. The desolate atmosphere outside the hall once again enveloped.
"I will give you one last chance. I can lend you my power twice. If you are still so cowardly and unwilling to make progress, I will personally take charge of your body and complete the mission you should undertake."
The ancient king looked at the barren land with his deep eyes, and his domineering aura seemed to make the entire wasteland tremble deeply.
The next moment, the figure that looked down upon the world turned into a beam of light and penetrated into Jiang Siming's body.
"Ah!" A powerful force rushed wildly through Jiang Siming's body.
There seemed to be stars flowing in his deep eyes, looking at the broken throne in front of him, Jiang Siming had a desire he had never felt before.
"This kind of power!" Jiang Siming clenched his fists tightly, feeling a power he had never felt before. Jiang Siming felt as if he could control everything. Everything in the world was under his feet.
Jiang Siming involuntarily walked towards the broken throne step by step, as if a voice in his heart told him that as long as he sat on the throne, he would be able to possess this power in his body forever.
"Stop!" a majestic voice sounded.
Jiang Siming, who had been a little crazy, now regained his consciousness and stopped.
The temptation of strength to people is far greater than that of power. Jiang Siming almost fell into the powerful force of the ancient king just now.
"Thank you!" Jiang Siming said to the air.
"System! Exit the Zhu Xian Sword Assessment!"
The surrounding barren plains and ruined palaces gradually dissipated and turned into ashes, revealing a pure white color.
Jiang Siming couldn't help but shook his head. He had no idea about the fourth sword test. Jiang Siming really couldn't understand the ancient king's domineering attitude.
Now Jiang Siming still cannot unleash the maximum power of the Zhu Xian Sword.
Jiang Siming basically believed what the ancient king said. If the other party really wanted to take over his body, he would not be able to resist at all and would not waste time talking to him.
In the past life, people always said that fools were the happiest because they knew nothing. Jiang Siming now found that even if he knew, he could do nothing about it. It was better not to know.
Jiang Siming doesn't want to shoulder any mission, he is not that noble. But being in the trap, how can Jiang Siming escape?
Besides, Jiang Siming didn't know what those humanoid monsters were. Maybe one day the gate between the two worlds they mentioned would suddenly descend on Douluo Continent.
Jiang Siming needs strong power to protect the people he cares about.
