Chapter 1272 - 352: War, Oath!

Chapter 1272: Chapter 352: War, Oath!

In fact, regarding the war advice from the Painter, Ning Zheng has no right to refuse.

Because now the Painter’s family is extraordinarily powerful; if a fight really breaks out... Ning Zheng wouldn’t be able to match him.

Firstly.

All the Half-Celestial Phenomenon powerhouses from Xi Rong have ascended to prehistoric times.

It seems his forces have been explosively growing, but in reality, the growth is all in the "past" realms.

Secondly.

It’s always Xi Rong holding the front line.

The Painter, that Old Deng, hides in the background as the mastermind, collecting too much data.

There was not only the previous Immortal Venerable Changzhen, End of the Dharma Immortal Venerable, but also Ning Zheng’s own Shadow Crocodile Immortal Venerate and Golden God...

These four great powerhouses, Ning Zheng truly can’t beat his painters.

In summary.

Ning Zheng now has to act according to the Painter’s wishes.

The Painter wants to grasp the "future," which is not the same area as Ning Zheng’s goal; his influence is growing bigger and bigger.

But this is understandable; his Nine-State has been laying out plans, always acting as the mastermind, profiting from war...

"This time, the Painter has taken the initiative to start the war, and he will certainly be the main force, holding the main battlefield... We’ll just kick back,"

"I’ll see how much combat power he can pull out from his pants!"

Ning Zheng has a clear position for himself, focusing on secondary output, perfectly seeing how strong the Painter holding the main battlefield really is.

In the following week, the Painter was incredibly busy!

How about Ning Zheng?

He became relaxed.

After all, he is not responsible for major matters, and he has nothing to improve, just quietly waiting for the Qi Fortune Value to accrue, increasing his foundation.

As for creating a Dharma Aspect Clone army?

There were seven hundred before, now even more?

Sorry, nowadays Ning Zheng has undergone a qualitative change, and can create Dharma Aspect Armies without cooldown at any time, even defeating enemies will spawn Shadow Crocodile Dharma Aspect Armies.

Mainly going for a one-person army.

But on the enemy’s side, they can also deploy clones; in this era, not doing some sort of Clone Series divine techniques doesn’t qualify to climb the pinnacle of strength.

Thus, with nothing to do, he still wanders around "past", "present", and "future".

Nowadays, he no longer needs to hide in Sword Casting Manor, afraid that others would divine him, not daring to go out.

"Hiding under Sword Casting Mountain, being忍for a whole two years, game testing for two years straight, can’t I enjoy life a bit?"

He relaxes his mindset, and along the way visits the Blue Star River System to experience modern life.

Traversing back to the early 2000s Blue Star period he transmigrated to, feeling the atmosphere of life from his previous existence.

Even he went to find Xian for a chat.

After several exchanges, he realized this Human Ancestor Xian was actually quite bored in the "present," mostly spending time asleep.

In his eyes, this virtual segment of historical time is meaningless waste time.

In his perspective, the true "present" hasn’t even passed a second, at this moment he is still in the ultimate battleground.

To this, Ning Zheng can only say, the thoughts of high-dimensional True Gods are generally idealistic.

Their minds can easily interfere with the real state, influencing dimensions.

As high-dimensional beings, if they think you are a two-dimensional paper person, you are a two-dimensional paper person in comics and stories.

"Casually creating civilizations, like a comic artist drawing, is really ruthless!"

Ning Zheng mocked, perhaps after long years, when friends and family have all passed away, he too will become as indifferent as them, enjoying lonliness over billions of years.

No.

Friends and family will not pass away, he can keep traversing.

But is this meaningful? He might still gradually become indifferent.

Ning Zheng had little to discuss with Xian; they were not familiar, just nodding acquaintances, and he had closer ties with Jiu Shui... he didn’t choose to get close proactively.

Later, Ning Zheng checked out the lives of Ning Jiaojiao and Su Yuniang, still busily managing law and order.

In fact, over these two years, when Ning Zheng didn’t act as the old manager of manor affairs, he often accompanied Ning Jiaojiao, eating and relaxing in the courtyard.

Time flew by, half a month passed.

Various underlying forces began fully mobilizing.

Formally, declaring war!!

Xi Rong, Divine Court, Demon Country... all future powerhouses working together, when the era’s war chariots start moving, they won’t stop.

Once stopped, what awaits the entire "future" would be no future.

Boom!

Rainbows covered the sky.

Light flickered, colors changed, those were time openings, pulled out from parallel world lines.

In the sky, there were hundreds of painter armies, frantically drawing timeline after timeline for mass production.

This scene was particularly astonishing!

Like arriving at an art exhibition site, variously clothed folks all painting.

They even allocated parts to paint "themselves," every painter continually appearing, spreading like a virus.

"This guy, how exaggerated."

On Xirong Manor, Ning Zheng stood on the manor plaza quietly looking up at this scene, witnessing the onset of war.

"Today, is an important day."

The Painter stands on high, on the deck of an Immortal Ship, in front of a podium, wearing ancient-style Taoist robes, looking dignified and solemn.

"Human history of development is the history of confronting nature."

"Humans began fearing nature, cave dwellers in caves watching thunder, wildfire, earthquakes in terror, not understanding celestial phenomenon principles, thinking unknown gods were angry, thus they kneeled praying for forgiveness."

"Thus, the earliest age of superstition was born."

He casually painted, depicting cave people stepping out, raw and blood-drinking, eating raw meat clad in animal hides.

"Then, humans understood nature, researching the rules of flame, collecting fire from wildfires, learning to use fire."

The scroll shows humans discovering wildfire processes, a group dancing around bonfires, cheering, gradually learning to drive away beasts using fire, warming in winter.

"Later, mastering nature... abandoned superstition, explored the laws and logic of heaven and earth."

One flash in the scroll brought the iron age, learning to use flames, high furnaces, making cold weapons, gradually entering the steam era, streets filled with steam trains, steam engines, textile machines...

Eventually stepping into the stars, recognizing multi-dimensional space-time theory, entering the parallel universe era.

"Finally, resisting nature."

Scene shifted.

Came to the era where Vice Xirong Manor Master and those fought fiercely, the Vice Manor master’s face got several close-ups, the mythical hero bathed in golden light, solo against the past, back to the multitudes, striving for time, shouting "Human victory over Heaven" with fervent slogans.

Ning Zheng: "..."

He stood by eating melon seeds, watching someone’s pre-war mobilization, staring somewhat speechlessly at another "himself" painted as this hero.

This opening ceremony must absolutely be orchestrated by the Night Emperor.

With that, amidst everyone’s shock, people saw the army start stepping out.

A hundred Golden Gods, a hundred End of the Dharma Immortal Venerates, a hundred Shadow Crocodile Giant Gods.

A hundred Immortal Venerable Changzhen, a hundred Xin Xichen, a hundred Jiu Shui, a hundred Holy Spirit Immortal Venerates....

Marching out in orderly fashion.

Army prestige like a prison, stifling the breath.

Unnoticed by all, the secretly developing Painter as a one-man army, his power has already far exceeded anyone from this era.

Although there’s no Half-Celestial Phenomenon Immortal Venerates, every painter has reached the Extreme Path Immortal Venerable limits!
