"Are these hundred weapons all divine weapons?"
Lin Yuan glanced around, his expression slightly serious.
Through the memories of the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment, Lin Yuan quickly determined the total number of all weapons, including the source of Lin Yuan's current perspective, a divine weapon in the shape of a mirror.
A complete divine weapon, the Sacred Heart Mirror.
"So, thousands of years ago, the total number of divine weapons was as many as a hundred?"
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
For more than twenty years, he had been collecting information about divine weapons. Many pieces of information obtained mentioned that in ancient times, the number of divine weapons exceeded thirty-six.
Later, due to some unknown changes, most divine weapons disappeared. However, there was no specific information about how many divine weapons there were.
Now, through the memories of the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment, Lin Yuan confirmed the total number of divine weapons.
A hundred pieces.
One hundred divine weapons.
As Lin Yuan continued to observe those divine weapons, a loud bang!
The central 'tower'-shaped divine weapon moved.
Majestic power erupted, affecting other divine weapons.
As a result, other divine weapons were forced to take action.
The spear imprinted with the sun and moon lightly thrust forward, gathering a sharp aura and directly piercing through a fan-shaped divine weapon.
A melee ensued among the hundred divine weapons.
The heavens and earth were in turmoil.
The melee lasted for several months.
In the end, most divine weapons were shattered, turned into fragments, and scattered in all directions.
Only thirty-six divine weapons remained standing on the battlefield.
These thirty-six divine weapons included the one from the Great Yan Dynasty, the Town-Protecting Divine Weapon, the Sun and Moon Spear.
At this moment, the aura emitted by the Sun and Moon Spear was somewhat unstable.
But it was clear that it had become the victor.
"A melee among divine weapons."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
As for the reason for the melee, Lin Yuan could guess it roughly.
Divine weapons needed to consume the people of the human race to grow slowly.
But the number of humans was limited.
With the appetite of a hundred divine weapons, the people of the thirty-six Central Plains countries couldn't satisfy them at all.
So, in the end, it led to this great war.
Only the most powerful divine weapons had the qualification to enjoy the blood feast.
As for the weaker divine weapons, they were directly shattered, and they perished on their own.
In front of the desk.
Lin Yuan put down the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment in his hand.
His face was immersed in contemplation.
This time, he traveled far from the capital.
To Wuyan City, and it seemed that he had come to the right place.
Not only did he obtain a divine weapon fragment that could be considered the manifestation of the essence of the rules.
He also learned about the great war that happened eight thousand years ago, a war that was not recorded in any written records.
The great war among a hundred divine weapons.
"Master."
"Master, spare my life."
On the desk, the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment emitted a weak mental fluctuation.
When Lin Yuan forcibly searched its soul, he also took the opportunity to refine this mirror fragment.
If it were a complete divine weapon, Lin Yuan wouldn't be able to refine it, but it was just a fragment, naturally unable to resist Lin Yuan.
After refining the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment, Lin Yuan gained absolute control over its consciousness.
"Even if I can't destroy the fragment, erasing the consciousness inside is just a thought."
The Sacred Heart Mirror fragment also realized its situation. Abandoning its previous negotiating posture, it directly addressed Lin Yuan as 'Master.'
"Spare your life?"
Lin Yuan glanced at the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment.
He comprehended the essence of the rules within the fragment, and it had nothing to do with its consciousness. Even if the consciousness disappeared, as long as the fragment itself existed, the essence of the rules would still be present, not hindering Lin Yuan's comprehension.
However, now that the birth and death of consciousness were under Lin Yuan's control with just a thought, there was no need to erase it so quickly. Otherwise, waiting for the next consciousness to be born might take who knows how many years.
Moreover, the divine weapon fragment with consciousness did have some use for Lin Yuan. At least, it could actively 'revive' without Lin Yuan's stimulation.
Outside the grand hall, Sikong Lun found himself in a dilemma.
After the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment was forcibly 'dragged' into the grand hall, Sikong Lun realized that his biggest reliance might have failed.
At this moment, Sikong Lun was torn between joy and sorrow.
When Lin Yuan suppressed the soldiers with a wave of his hand, Sikong Lun couldn't help but have a fleeting hope.
For thousands of years, the human race had been the food for divine weapons. No one had ever been able to resist divine weapons, even if it was just a fragment of a divine weapon.
However, Lin Yuan's appearance seemed to break this pattern.
But who Lin Yuan really was and whether he was a 'human,' whether he would stand on the side of divine weapons, were things that Sikong Lun couldn't figure out.
Time passed.
While Sikong Lun was lost in thought and contemplation.
A voice rang out silently in his ears.
"You come in too."
"Yes."
Sikong Lun took a deep breath.
As if accepting judgment, he walked into the grand hall.
The interior of the hall was no different from what Sikong Lun remembered.
The only difference was a mirror fragment casually placed on the desk where Lin Yuan was sitting.
Mirror fragment?
Sikong Lun swallowed his saliva.
Thinking that it was not an ordinary mirror fragment, but the evil weapon they, the Anti-God Society, worshipped day and night.
"Lord."
Sikong Lun knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan glanced at the other party casually.
"After today, I want your Anti-God Society to completely submit to me. Can you do that?"
Lin Yuan said casually.
The influence of the Anti-God Society covered the entire Central Plains Thirty-Six Kingdoms.
The Anti-God Society where Sikong Lun was located was just one of the main headquarters in the Great Yan Dynasty.
There were thirty-five other main headquarters of the Anti-God Society, each hidden in the other thirty-five countries.
Lin Yuan's implicit meaning was to let Sikong Lun subdue the other thirty-five main headquarters of the Anti-God Society.
Bring the entire Anti-God Society under Lin Yuan's command.
Faced with Lin Yuan's words, Sikong Lun fell into silence.
If it were someone else saying this to him.
Sikong Lun would definitely not agree, and he wouldn't even consider it.
The Anti-God Society was the last line of defense against the rule of divine weapons.
Even if they worshipped an evil weapon, it was only to increase their confidence in resisting true divine weapons.
Sikong Lun could die, but the Anti-God Society must not perish.
Otherwise, all the human races in Central Plains Thirty-Six Kingdoms would forever become the food for divine weapons.
"I just want to know one thing."
Sikong Lun stared at Lin Yuan and asked boldly, "Is the Lord a human, and how do you view divine weapons?"
"Human."
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
Looking at Sikong Lun, who was willing to die for his beliefs.
Lin Yuan said slowly, "Naturally, I am human. As for those divine weapons, I've found them displeasing for a long time."
As these words were spoken, Sikong Lun immediately felt relieved.
"In the future, the Anti-God Society will be at the Lord's service."
Sikong Lun said respectfully.
Having received the answer he wanted, Sikong Lun's tensed heart completely relaxed. To preserve the spark of hope for the human race, the Anti-God Society was willing to offer sacrifices, even the former divine weapon, the evil weapon.
The methods displayed by Lin Yuan gave Sikong Lun a glimpse of hope in the fight against divine weapons. It was only natural for the other Anti-God Society factions to join him.
After subduing Sikong Lun, Lin Yuan issued the first order - to report all the information known by the Anti-God Society about evil weapons.
For Lin Yuan, every evil weapons was an external manifestation of the fundamental rules of the world. Observing their true forms had great benefits and could significantly improve the path of martial evolution, helping Lin Yuan advance to the Fourth Rank.
Not only the Fourth Rank, but there were also uplifting effects on the path of martial evolution.
"Does the Lord intend to continue subduing those evil weapons?"
Sikong Lun immediately grasped Lin Yuan's thoughts.
"Be careful, my Lord. Those evil weapons are not easy to deal with, each and every one of them."
Sikong Lun whispered.
Although Lin Yuan had crushed the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment with overwhelming dominance, there was a difference between divine weapons and divine weapon fragments. Some divine weapon fragments had larger volumes, occupying more parts of the complete divine weapon, making them more powerful.
Even if they still couldn't beat Lin Yuan, if one managed to escape, it could still pose a hidden threat.
"No worries."
Lin Yuan waved his hand.
With his current strength, even if divine weapons didn't appear and there were more fragments, he could instantly suppress them.
Time passed.
Another fifty years went by.
