Chapter 173 I Became a Country (1)
The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the earth, and the royal palace of Nanzhao Kingdom was shrouded in a dim twilight.
Xie Lang opened his eyes again, and what he saw was a dark palace. The door of the palace was closed, and dim sunlight slanted in through the windows, but it could not illuminate the inside.
Xie Lang frowned slightly, and a ray of green light burst out from her fingers. The next moment, nearly ten thousand oil lamps in the hall lit up, illuminating the entire hall brightly.
This is a very spacious palace, which can accommodate more than 100,000 people. It is more than ten meters high, nearly a thousand meters long and wide, and as big as dozens of basketball courts. Every few dozen steps, there is a beam standing in the palace, and various exquisite patterns are carved on the beams and pillars.
People in it are as small as ants.
If you feel it carefully, you can still feel a sacred breath flowing inside, although this breath is barely noticeable.
Xie Lang was sitting on the top seat at this time. The seat was made of divine jade essence and emitted a soft glow, but it was a little dull now, as if a layer of dirt had obscured its former glory.
The situation inside the hall is the same. The materials used to build it are all extraordinary, but they reveal a sense of death. Although the hall is magnificent, it cannot hide its decay.
Xie Lang glanced at the hall, then looked at his almost illusory body. This body was becoming more and more illusory, and it seemed as if it would disappear in the next moment.
This time she possessed the body of a nearly extinct national spirit.
The national spirit is the embodiment of the country, a body formed by the country's destiny. It exists because of the existence of the country and dies with the demise of the country.
Given the current situation, it can only be said that this country is on the brink of destruction.
Her previous name was Qiming, and she was the national spirit of Nanzhao. As Nanzhao was in danger of extinction, she fell into a deep sleep, and when Nanzhao was destroyed, she would also perish along with it.
At this moment, Xie Lang browsed through the memories of his previous life and discovered that the demise of the Nanzhao Kingdom was not accidental, but someone was secretly pushing it behind the scenes.
The mastermind behind this was none other than the king of Nanzhao - Xia Hui.
This world is called the Holy Spirit Continent.
In the Holy Spirit Continent, the existence of a country will give birth to a national spirit. The national spirit is the spirit of the country, that is, the god that belongs uniquely to this country.
Citizens believe in the national spirit and regard it as their own belief; the national spirit protects the citizens, and every citizen is the child of the national spirit.
Generally speaking, the two are interdependent and inseparable.
The Nanzhao Kingdom was originally a prosperous dynasty, and the turning point came after the 36th monarch Xia Hui ascended the throne.
Since Xia Hui inherited the throne of Nanzhao, he did not think about the development of Nanzhao. Instead, he issued all kinds of absurd decrees, killed loyal ministers indiscriminately, provoked various wars, consumed Nanzhao's national fortune, and made Nanzhao a mess.
The source of all this was actually the pledge Xia Hui made in order to join the Sect of Light.
The Sect of Light is a superpower in the Holy Spirit Continent. Although it is called Light, the things it does are particularly cruel and insane.
The disciples there practice by stealing the power of the national spirit, and the national spirit is the embodiment of the country. If the national spirit is destroyed, the country will perish. When the power of the national spirit is taken away, it means that the country is not far from destruction.
Every time a country is destroyed, countless people die. It is a notorious existence in the Holy Spirit Continent.
Of course, the more powerful the country, the stronger the national spirit is, and the more difficult it is to steal the power. Only when the country is in decline, when the national spirit is in a weak period, will it be easier to steal.
Xia Hui issued various orders to weaken the country's destiny, such as provoking war, while at the same time deceiving the trust of the original owner Qi Ming. As a national spirit, Qi Ming could feel the state of the country.
The unnatural casualties of citizens and the loss of territory will have a negative impact on the national spirit.
Therefore, Xia Hui used various means to deceive Qi Ming and gave her the National Spirit Transformation Powder, blocking her connection with the country.
He also used secret methods and took advantage of his status as a monarch to secretly absorb some of the power of the national spirit and accelerate the demise of the country.
Now, the Nanzhao Kingdom is on the brink of extinction. Xia Hui and an inner disciple of the Bright Sect have come to reap the last of Nanzhao Kingdom's fortune.
"What a great Xia Hui."
After browsing his memories, Xie Lang couldn't help but reveal a cruel smile.
A country will eventually perish not at the hands of foreign enemies, but at the hands of its own monarch.
It's ironic.
