Chapter 524: The Secret of Ontology (Part 2)
Five days later.
Today's Mingdu obviously has a bit of solemnity and solemnity. Early in the morning, the originally lively city became very quiet. Except for some daily needs, almost most stores chose to close on this day.
Because today is the day for the ceremony of worshiping heaven.
His Majesty Xu Tianran, the Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire, will hold a ceremony to worship the heavens in the suburbs of Mingdu. It will worship the heavens and earth, and also worship the ancestors of the Sun and Moon Empire.
The Sun and Moon Empire had actively expanded its territory in a short period of time after Xu Tianran ascended the throne. This sacrifice to heaven was more to show Xu Tianran's own achievements. At the same time, it was also the time for him to announce the world to prepare for the unification of the continent in the future.
This ceremony of worship for heaven was prepared several months ago, and it consumed a lot of manpower, financial resources and material resources.
Early this morning, a large number of people had already emerged from Mingdu and came to the suburbs to prepare to welcome the arrival of this national ceremony.
On all the main roads of Mingdu, soldiers stood clearly on both sides in armor, one stand in three steps and one whistle in five steps. The strong aura of murderousness almost permeated the entire city.
Under the pressure of the army, the people traveled neatly and orderly to the southern suburbs.
The scale of this ceremony of worship for heaven was extremely large. For this reason, the Sun and Moon Empire mobilized an army of more than 100,000 people.
In the southern suburbs, a huge altar was built half a month ago. The altar itself is a strange platform, with a round shape on the left and a crescent-shaped neighbor on the right. It means the sun and the moon, and is a symbol of the Sun and Moon Empire.
The circular altar covers an area of more than 10,000 square meters and is as high as ten feet high. It is completely made of granite. On the platform, there are six consecutive platforms, each of which are of the same shape and are reduced one by one. At the top of the platform, it is only a size of one thousand square meters.
All seven-story platforms are from bottom to top, and they are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. They symbolize the color of the rainbow and cover the world.
There are eight stone steps around the altar that lead to the top one by one.
This altar was not built temporarily only once, but will be passed down to sacrifice to heaven in the future.
The altar was surrounded by a large army and was already in a mess. In the four directions of southeast, west and north, each had already completed the construction of a soul guide position. Although it was not a soul guide position of the size of the soul guide legion, these four soul guide positions were all constructed by the most powerful royal soul guide group of the Sun and Moon Empire, and used the most advanced soul guides in the Sun and Moon Empire today.
Among all the 100,000 troops mobilized this time, forty thousand troops surrounded the altar, while the other troops had their own subjects, most of them were responsible for commanding the order of the people.
The sky was already completely bright at this time. The sun shone on the magnificent sun and moon sacrifice rooftop, emitting colorful halos. It was also extremely spectacular from a distance.
The total of all seven-story sacrificial platforms is as high as a hundred feet tall. It is much taller than the tallest building in Mingdu. In the future, it will surely become one of the landmark buildings of the Sun and Moon Empire.
On the periphery of the Sun and Moon Festival Tiantai, the people had already lost the water here under the command of the army. More than 20 million people from the Sun and Moon Empire live in Mingdu, which is the true core of the Sun and Moon Empire. At this time, there were not tens of millions of people coming to watch the ceremony, and there were millions, dense and endless.
The time for the ceremony to worship the sky is when the sun is at its peak. At that time, the yang energy is rising, which means it is thriving.
Far from the direction of Mingdu, a team of all bright yellow slowly came towards the Sun and Moon Sacrifice Sky Platform.
Wherever this team passed, soldiers pioneered the way. At the front was a huge dragon chariot carried by one thousand and twenty-four people. The bright yellow silk satin on the dragon chariot had the pattern of rushing dragons, but at all important core positions, the pattern of sun and moon competing for light.
That's right, this is the dragon chariot of Emperor Xu Tianran of the Sun and Moon Empire. At this time, Xu Tianran sat upright on the dragon chariot, wearing a nine-dragon-carved purple gold crown, and wearing a gorgeous dragon-shaped dress of Emperor Sun and Moon.
The orange sitting beside him was also wearing an extremely luxurious bright yellow palace outfit with a smile on his face. The headdress was full of the most expensive jewelry.
The gauze curtains around the dragon chariot are lifted up so that the people can see this most powerful couple today in the distance.
"Long live, long live, long live!" Under unified command, the soldiers raised their weapons high and shouted long live.
Suddenly, the millions of people fell to the ground in the direction of the dragon chariot like harvesting wheat.
Standing high above the dragon chariot, Xu Tianran's eyes showed a majestic brilliance, but after this majesty, he felt endless emotion and pride.
Once upon a time, when he lost his legs, it seemed as if the whole world had become dark. At this moment, he had become the master of the Sun and Moon Empire, and even the future master of the entire continent.
Looking at the millions of people who worshiped him, Xu Tianran seemed to see countless luck gathering towards him. That feeling was so wonderful.
Sacrifice to the sky is just a form, but it is an important ritual to unite the hearts of the people and make the empire more stable. Carrying the ceremony of sacrifice to the sky is the starting point for Xu Tianran to complete his ideal after he ascended the throne.
In two years, the three kingdoms originally belonged to Douluo Continent were working hard to develop, develop soul guides, and recruit soldiers immediately. Isn’t this the case in the Sun and Moon Empire?
Xu Tianran mastered the rhythm very well. From the beginning, after he inherited the throne, his throne was actually very unstable. However, he opposed the opposition and, with the support of the Holy Spirit Church, launched an aggressive war almost in the shortest time.
Why? The purpose is to transfer domestic contradictions. No matter whether the ministers support him or not, when the war begins, as long as they are smart people, they know what to do. The most important thing is to defeat the enemy.
Orange did not disappoint. With its extraordinary wisdom and amazing military talent, it fully utilized the advantages of the Sun and Moon Empire army, and spanned between the stars and the sky and the soul. It achieved impressive results.
Although this war stopped before the Tianhun Empire was completely captured, it is undeniable that after this battle, Xu Tianran had become the king of expanding territory. At this time, Xu Tianran suddenly chose to slow down the offensive, listened to Orange's suggestions, stabilized the defense line, and used soul-guided technology to gradually penetrate the area occupied by the Tianhun Empire. At the same time, he began to turn his target to the country.
With the dazzling halo of war, the domestic opposition voices were greatly reduced, the timely pregnancy of Orange, the birth and establishment of the prince. In just two years, Xu Tianran had all the opposition voices in China disappeared. He had completely become the real master of this land.
However, this still cannot satisfy his ambitions. He wants to be the only emperor of the Eight Desolations. His goal is to unify the entire Douluo Continent and avenge the lost holy war more than 4,000 years ago.
Therefore, he wanted to sacrifice to heaven, and he wanted to announce the world through this ceremony of offering sacrifice to heaven. Douluo Continent belonged to him Xu Tianran and to the Sun and Moon Empire. After offering sacrifice to heaven, it was a holy war.
Orange sat quietly beside Xu Tianran, and she could feel the heat on him. It was not the change of temperature, but the expansion of ambition. Under the attention of everyone, he was like a sun, blooming with brilliant and domineering brilliance.
Orange always had a faint smile on her face. After giving birth, she was even more graceful, with a bit more mature style, and her figure became more plump, and her already crystal clear skin even became more moist.
Xu Tianran patted Yuzi's hand and pulled her back from her thoughts.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, the Emperor of Eternity." Juzi said with a hurried smile.
Xu Tianran also showed a smile on his face, "No matter what I have, I will share it with you. Are you still unhappy? I don't let you bring the prince here because I am afraid that the prince is too young and will be scared in such a big scene."
Juzi shook her head gently and said, "Why are you unhappy? Your Majesty's decisions are correct. I have figured it out."
Xu Tianran said: "It's good to understand. After the ceremony is over, I will accompany you back and take a look at Yun Han together."
"Yeah." Orange nodded gently.
Of course she knew why Xu Tianran refused to bring her son to the ceremony for the heaven sacrifice, because it was her son, but not his real son. What's more, even if it was his real son? With his personality, he wanted to be the emperor of the ages. His dream was to live forever and control everything forever. To him, the prince was just a tool. Of course, he was too.
Under the attention of everyone, the dragon chariot finally arrived in front of the Sun and Moon Sacrifice Tower.
Xu Tianran stood up, held Orange's hand, slowly walked down the dragon chariot, and then walked towards the rooftop.
At this time, the lower floor of the Tiantiantai was full of people. The people who could stand on the sixth floor of the Tiantiantai were all important figures of the Sun and Moon Empire. For them, being able to stand here is an absolute honor.
The cheers of the people rang out like waves, this is the real sound wave! The sound waves composed of millions of people spread from afar like tsunamis.
Xu Tianran always smiled. The brilliance on his body was not only felt by oranges, but also by every senior executive of the Sun and Moon Empire standing on the rooftop. Their hearts were trembling. Feeling the emperor who was radiating light, they knelt on the ground and bowed to him.
They even had a foreshadowing that the Sun and Moon Empire would rule the entire continent in the near future.
Xu Tianran's pace was not fast, but steady. When he walked to the sixth floor of the Sun and Moon Sacrifice Tower, he naturally let go of Yuzi's hand. Yuzi stopped and watched him climb to the seventh floor of the Sun and Moon Sacrifice Tower by himself.
Yes, he was the only one who climbed the seventh floor.
On the seventh floor of the Sun and Moon Festival Tower, a thousand square meters, there are many gorgeous patterns engraved. A huge hexagram shines with a faint golden light under the sunlight. The center of the hexagram, the sun and moon pattern is even more dazzling. The sun is golden, the moon is silver, and the gold and silver colors are reflected in the colors. (To be continued...)
