Chapter 851: The Human World's Five Slaughter Tribulations

"A bunch of peasants taking up arms, intending to slaughter the nobles?"

"Nonsense!"

"Throughout history, this has never made sense. The foundations our ancestors built generation after generation, why should we let you have it so easily?"

"Kill!"

"If you dare to raise your weapons and seize the food supplies, our heads aren't made of dough either. If horses and cattle don't listen, they get the whip. If people harbor delusions, they lose their heads."

Initially, this slaughter tribulation terrified everyone in the world, and no one could have imagined that there would be people who would ignore the world's treasures and the noble clans, instead mixing with the peasants to seize food supplies.

In the past, there had been many instances of peasants being driven to madness and rebellion, but they were often suppressed. However, the Bright King received secret support, breaking the curse of the past, and suddenly, an unprecedented storm was set in motion.

But soon after, a suppression far more intense than imagined arrived.

In the past, this would have been a matter for the royal family, but now, without the royal family, this suppression seemed even more severe.

"They've finally made their move."

As disasters spread across the world, and ghosts and spirits wreaked havoc among humans, balancing this human realm, unaffected by mortal incense offerings, there was a place where countless reincarnators, with the Iron Guanyin of the Capital City at their core, engaged in a conversation.

"In the southwest, the Rat Transformation Plague has appeared. This is not an ordinary epidemic but a curse that turns living people into rats in their dreams, causing them to lose their sanity and form packs to devour humans, creating chaos in the region."

"The Rat Transformation Plague has already spread across several prefectures in the southwest, turning an area of three thousand li into a Rat Kingdom. It has forced the Bright State to move eastward."

"Hehe, the Bright King's banner was originally about slaying tyrants and protecting the common folk. That slogan was our idea, but now they've borrowed it and turned into demons."

"South of Green Lake, in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the Hanging Ridge has transformed. There's a Monster Mountain hidden within, and if the soldiers don't investigate, they'll be captured by the mountain. One by one, the troops call out to heaven and earth, but neither responds, and they can only hang themselves on the slopes."

"General Zhang Yannan of the Grain Protection Army's left flank, along with his ten thousand soldiers and three thousand civilians, have all been devoured by this mountain."

"The northwest region hasn't shown any other abnormalities, but the celestial signs are strange. Wherever the Bright King goes, wind, snow, and rain disasters follow, trapping his two hundred thousand troops in Gourd Plain, leaving them on the brink of death."

"In the southeast, there's the Rotting Grain Curse, which has transformed into the Madness Plague."

"The troops under the Bright King's banner encountered the curse, causing their food to rot and their meat to decay. Good food turned black within a day, and live cattle and sheep perished overnight, becoming a field of death."

"Some people panicked, thinking it was an illusion, and still ate the food and meat, only to contract the madness plague. They began slaughtering and hacking indiscriminately, regardless of friend or foe."

"There were originally two hundred thousand troops there, but now they've all turned into mad demons, and they're spreading towards the Bright State's capital..."

"If this isn't stopped, I fear that within half a month, the Bright King's hometown will be raided."

"Hehe, the northern region is simple. There's a Long Hero King who doesn't cast spells or chant curses, but he's a fierce warrior with countless valiant generals under his command. He's already annexed seven Hilltop Kings, forming a united front."

"Now, he's dispatched three thousand elite troops to confront the Bright King, claiming to want to slay the Bright King Yang Gong and eliminate the threat to the common folk."

"..."

In the current world, the Bright King has unleashed a slaughter tribulation, sweeping across the land. Countless people have responded to his call, slaughtering aristocratic clans and seizing food supplies. However, the subsequent strikes have also arrived like raindrops, with countless strange occurrences befalling the Redundant Army.

Regarding the Bright King, he originally had the Grain Protection Army under his command, and people across the world recognized his banner. But after unleashing this slaughter tribulation, the reputation of the Grain Protection Army was no longer acknowledged.

Some called them bandits, while others directly referred to them as the Redundant Army.

For others, such an act of defiance against the world would have been enough to shatter their courage, but the reincarnators, observing in secret, quickly deciphered the situation and realized the five most terrifying aspects of this disaster.

"Peeling skin and replacing bones, transforming humans into rats. It's undeniable that only the Puppet Sect understands this method."

After exchanging information, someone coldly laughed and said, "The Southwest Flying Ascension King is supported by the Divine Zhao Family."

"Under his command is the Iron Wing Army, which is said to be able to fly with the wind at night, shooting arrows from the sky to kill enemies."

"While they created the Rat Transformation Plague, they also organized the Nine Water Hundred Gods Festival at the Nine Water Temple in the southwest, gathering talented performers from all over."

"To break this Rat Transformation Plague, we must first disrupt their Nine Water Hundred Gods Festival."

"..."

Following him, another person spoke in a deep voice, "South of Green Lake lies the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and on the other side of the mountains is the Mountain Watching Zhu Family's ancestral land."

"Although the Hanging Ridge Monster Mountain is sinister, it's not difficult for the Zhu Family to handle. According to rumors, the Witchcraft Sect's most powerful spell is the Mountain Awakening Spell, which can awaken mountains and make them obey their commands."

"To break this Mountain Awakening Spell, we need someone to visit the Mountain Watching Zhu Family."

"..."

"The disasters in the northwest are caused by the Prosperity Robe King."

Soon after, someone explained the reason for the Bright King Yang Gong's current predicament: "The Blessing Sun Family, they specialize in inviting disasters and reducing blessings. It's clear that the Prosperity Robe King is supported by them."

"This is not to be taken lightly. The Blessing Sun Family, if they don't take action, will be fine, but once they do, they use ruthless methods to cut off descendants. In the past, even the Hu Family's Old White Gan brothers nearly died at the hands of these disaster-inviting objects."

"This wind-summoning, snow-inviting, and rain-invoking abilities are all part of the Sun Family's Seven Disaster Flags, said to have the power to alter heaven and earth. It's likely they have four more similar spells that haven't been used yet!"

"..."

"Undeniably, the Living Ghost Chen Family is behind the events in the southeast."

"Hehe, this Black Magic Sect, usually they don't show off their mountains or reveal their waters, but now they've made a move, and it's a slaughter that wipes out the state, a method that harms the heavens and harms reason."

"If we're talking about the five great calamities that the Bright King encounters, this calamity is the most vicious. It's said that the Chen Family has five Corpse Summoners, among which the Rotting Grain Curse and Madness Plague are just the abilities of one of the summoned corpses. When all five Corpse Summoners act together, who knows what will happen?"

"In this world, even if it's Demon Heaven Ghost Earth, the heavens and earth still exist. I wonder where Necromancer Chen got his skills from, and he's not even afraid of heavenly retribution?"

"..."

Finally, someone spoke up, "There's not much to say about the Long Hero King of the Northern Region. It's clear to anyone with eyes that this is the disciples and descendants of the Vitality Zhou Family, all of them have joined the army and are going all out."

"Hehe, that's the New Year Guardian Sect, how many fierce generals can they have that can fight in the battlefield?"

"Speaking of supporting the Hilltop King, the Zhou Family is the most suitable. It's not surprising that they can support eight or ten at once, but now they've gathered all their New Year Guardian fierce generals under the Long Hero King. On the battlefield, who can deal with them?"

"..."

"..."

"Message..."

The five clans' actions were like five nails, firmly nailing down the Bright King's fate, and also firmly suppressing this Slaughter Tribulation.

As everyone exchanged intelligence, they didn't find it surprising.

From the beginning of this Slaughter Tribulation, the Reincarnated had been secretly supporting them, and no one knew how many troubles they had solved. But from the start, everyone was also very clear that the biggest trouble was yet to come!

The most unacceptable part of the Slaughter Tribulation was the execution of the Celestial Age.

And the Noble Lords wanted to strangle the Bright King. The eccentrics and masters of the world naturally followed suit, after all, they were either supported by the Noble Lords or had learned these skills to become Noble Lords themselves.

If they had acted separately at the beginning of the Slaughter Tribulation, they naturally couldn't stop it. But now that the five Hilltop Kings were joining hands to strangle the Bright King, they were following suit.

After everyone had spoken, hearing about the troubles all around, some couldn't help but feel oppressed: "Before in the Capital City, we agreed with the Ten Clans to settle the Spell Battle. The purpose was to let the people of this world suffer less, but I didn't expect that in the end, it would still bring about such a huge chaos."

"Hehe, the Spell Battle?"

But amidst the sighs, there were also laughs: "This is a rough idea, but if you think about it carefully, it's not feasible."

"The Ten Clans have been so domineering these past twenty years, I think they once had the illusion that they were the emperors of this world, and their words were as heavy as nine tripods."

"But they aren't."

"They just stole the Duyi Authority, inherited the Previous Dynasty Legacy, and squeezed into the Aristocratic Class. It's not that they control this world, but that class gave them the opportunity to rise."

"So what they say doesn't count, only what the position under their buttocks says counts."

"Now that this Slaughter Tribulation has started, those Noble Lords are destined to be dissatisfied. They're unhappy, so the remaining five clans have to step in to stop this Slaughter Tribulation."

"They don't want to, but their clansmen will think about it, and their subordinates will think about it too. This is a law that cannot be changed by individual will!"

"..."

"If that's the case, we can't expect the Ten Clans to show mercy, can we?"

"If they show mercy, we won't..."

At this point, someone laughed: "The agreed-upon Spell Battle in the Capital City still stands. This Slaughter Tribulation has made them afraid, and they're going to take drastic measures. But for us, it's just the beginning..."

"Not only do we have to push this Slaughter Tribulation forward, but we also have to take their Dao from them. All our strength must be used in this Slaughter Tribulation."

"Our goal has always been simple: to ensure there are enough people left when the New Heaven arrives."

"With enough people, we can have the courage to confront the Celestial Age."

"The human world values life, but the Celestial Age doesn't care. If the New Heaven arrives, but most of the human world has already perished, leaving only those old lords and ladies, can their bones be strong enough to expel the Celestial Age?"

"Since it's like this, we have to kill them, not for the sake of killing them, but to kill their courage, to kill the chairs under their buttocks, and to make them honestly be ordinary people for once!"

"Everyone, if the five clans don't take action, then so be it. But since they've already made a move, it's time to test our abilities..."

"..."

Amidst the casual conversation, the situation of various parties had already been analyzed. The initiator of this gathering, Miss Red Wine, cleared her throat and slowly said, "Everyone, don't be careless."

"I need to remind you that the Mountain Watching Zhu Family, Vitality Zhou Family, Blessing Sun Family, Playful Zhao Family, and Necromancer Chen Family, each of these five families has extraordinary abilities. In the research of the Netherworld Eight Sceneries, we are not as deep as them."

"But we must win."

"We must win before they cause great chaos and too many people die in this world."

"What we're facing is the deepest spell and the most sinister mind in this world, the hard bone of this world."

"Of course, we have to bite down, but are you all prepared?"

"..."

In the Soul Temple, after hearing these words, there was only silence, as if an invisible pressure weighed on their hearts.

But after a long time, there was a burst of laughter, "Miss Red Wine, you're actually speaking so seriously."

"What's there to fear? We've all been suppressed for twenty years. In the end, if there's no excitement, how can we justify our existence in this world?"

"Haha, let's form a team for the mission!"

This laughter was like opening the doors of a vegetable market, and immediately, someone followed with a loud voice: "I am the Jizhou Double Distilled Wine, and I've long disliked the Playful Sect. They dare to call themselves a sect and ancestor with their lowly ways?"

"I'm heading southwest to disrupt the Zhao Family's Hundred Gods Festival. Who's willing to come with me?"

"..."

This question immediately sparked an uproar among the experts, with many shouting, "We'll go together!"

"Who wouldn't want to go watch the show?"

Old Sorghum smiled and said, "To deal with the Hanging Character Sect, we need to be familiar with their tricks. I'm the most knowledgeable about their sect, so I'm indispensable."

Briefcase said, "We usually keep a low profile, but with such a great opportunity, we should at least give it a try..."

Sticky Rice Wine spoke up, "I'm willing to take on anyone, mainly because I'm closer to the Flying Ascension King. Their troops are currently camp twenty li outside my home. Count me in."

Another person laughed and said, "The Black Magic Sect's methods are the most sinister. In the martial world, they are rarely seen. But I, Dongzhou Sweet Rice Wine, am not afraid of their tricks. Who's willing to join me?"

Immediately, someone joined in the laughter, "I can go with you, but I must clarify that sweet wine isn't real alcohol. It can't be considered wine!"

A weak voice from below asked, "Is Pineapple Beer considered wine?"

Another person spoke up, "Well, that's two less. The Blessing Sun Family is the most mysterious, but their methods are all related to underworld disasters. Fortunately, the Non-Veggie Flat Character Sect has returned the spirit to the people, and the pond gods have gained some worshippers."

"Since I serve as the temple god, it's only right for me to face the Blessing Sun Family. But it's difficult to achieve much alone. Are there any brothers willing to join me, White Carved Flower Wine?"

"..."

A cold voice spoke up, belonging to Miss White Wine, "Disasters bring death, and fate governs life. I'll go with you to face the Blessing Sun Family."

Five Bark Wine exclaimed, "I'll go too! Count me in."

Before he could finish, Stunned Donkey's muffled voice interrupted, "Younger Brother Pi, you can't be ungrateful now. Everyone else has a choice, but we brothers don't. The Prosperity Robe King, supported by the Vitality Zhou Family, has already reached our doorstep..."

"However, the Zhou Family's abilities are indeed formidable. Are there any brothers willing to lend us a hand?"

"..."

"I'll come to help you. They say the New Year Guardian Sect counters the Hanging Character Sect, but I don't believe it. This time, I'm sure we can be of some assistance."

Miss Red Wine smiled and spoke, "Everyone, in this spell battle, the outcome is uncertain, and the dangers are unknown. I only wish that we can all showcase our true abilities."

"People leave their names, and geese leave their calls. We reincarnated spirits don't like to be in the spotlight. Our voices won't remain, and we're not used to using our real names, so our names won't likely leave a mark in this world."

"But we hope to leave our mark on this world."

"..."

The crowd had been laughing loudly, but upon hearing her words, they all fell silent, feeling somewhat depressed. They didn't want to discuss such serious topics, so after a brief pause, someone spoke up, "Wait a minute..."

"What about the Mountain Watching Zhu Family? No one has chosen them yet!"

There was a brief silence among the soul temples, then after a while, someone hummed and said, "This family was chosen three months ago..."

"Is anyone willing to help that Monkey Wine Mr. deal with the Mountain Watching Zhu Family?"

"..."

The atmosphere grew silent, then suddenly an excited voice broke the silence, "Me, me, me! I'm Sweet Potato Burn. Hello, big brothers. Why don't you want to go there?"

"Does this big brother have bad people skills? I'm best at getting along with people. I'll go with him..."

"..."

Everyone fell silent, and only Head Two Gourds and Miss White Wine's hearts skipped a beat, silently thinking, 'This doesn't bode well.'

...

...

"The Zhu Family's Three-Drum, the Zhao Family's Hundred Gods Festival, the Chen Family's Five Corpse Summoners, the Sun Family's Seven Disaster Flags, and my Zhou Family's Seventeen Bridges Guests..."

Amidst the chaos of the disaster, as the Bright King tightly controlled the situation, many noble lords and aristocrats from various clans were overjoyed, believing that the Peasant Warriors' calamity would be swiftly destroyed.

However, the five clans who instigated this disaster were also gathered in the stone pavilion, sighing softly, "Everyone's unique skills have been displayed."

"I thought these skills would be used on the State Tutor, on each other, or even on the Celestial Age. I never imagined..."

"That our unique skills would be used on these rural commoners..."

"..."

The speaker, dressed in a brocade robe with a white beard, was none other than Zhou Zhiming, the Vitality Zhou Family's grand master. He sighed softly and said, "Could it be that we're all afraid after the Li Family's defeat?"

"It's not about using these skills on the common folk. We're waiting for the reincarnated malevolent spirits to make their move..."

Someone nearby spoke up with a chilling tone, "We agreed to a spell battle to determine victory, but they used this slaughter tribulation to swallow the Li Family. Do we just watch as they drive away the tiger and devour the wolf, killing everything in our hands and under our command?"

"It was supposed to be a battle between aristocratic families, but now it's become a battle for the world. If we don't give our all, what can we do?"

"..."

The grand master of the Zhou Family fell silent, then suddenly asked, "What if we win?"

Several people turned to look at him coldly and said, "If we win, we'll also support the new emperor and expel the Celestial Age. Isn't that also a contribution to the world?"

Zhou Zhiming looked at him seriously for a long time, then sighed, "Alright!"

"When the world faces calamity, and Yin-Yang Division is in chaos, one thought becomes divine, and another becomes a ghost. We only wish that we won't become sinners in this land..."
