Chapter 770 - 57: Lord of Radiance Deity (Part 3)
If encountered within the branches of Buddhism, perhaps He is the future Maitreya Buddha, and all the past will be absorbed by His fused divinity.
"Mitra is the past, the Great Ming Respected One is the present, Maitreya Buddha is the future?"
"Interesting."
This is the most complex Divine Spirit Duncan has encountered because even His self is constantly changing. Any existence related to Him can rely on the divinity He disperses to coalesce into a corresponding deity persona.
No wonder Monotheism cannot manage Him, yet extended a branch out to Messiah.
Duncan slowly extended his right hand. The blazing Holy Fire did not burn him; instead, upon contact with the Holy Fire, the Law of the domain of light began to condense. As the king of the Great Ming Respected One's sect, the spokesperson of the mortal realm, he received a trace of power from the Divine Spirit.
The domain of light, he already possessed.
This must be the most adaptable Divine Spirit Duncan has ever seen; whether in the East or the West, He could navigate effortlessly.
The will of the Great Ming Respected One gradually dissipated.
Behind Duncan, the Benevolent Mother couldn't help but secretly raise her head, seemingly seeing a reflection within the Holy Fire. In an instant, she was struck as if by lightning and almost prostrated on the ground.
The Five Mingzi didn't possess such strong spiritual cultivation, but when the will of the Great Ming Respected One descended, the secret techniques they cultivated all sensed it. This was something even the Sect Hierarch couldn't accomplish; only the Ming King's oracle could summon the will of the Great Ming Respected One.
Duncan slowly turned, apologizing in his heart: "Sorry. I've come to borrow on credit."
The influence of the Divine Spirit on this world was not so great.
Unless present as a True Immortal, the embodiment of these Divine Spirits doesn't reside on this level; the will of the Great Ming Respected One can only be considered a divine thought of Mitra, gradually becoming active solely due to His descent; otherwise, no matter how many times the Ming sect offers sacrifices, it cannot truly communicate with Him.
This is the function of status.
If you don't have the corresponding status, you don't even have the qualification to speak with a being like Mitra.
In the Western derived planes, there even existed a Magic God evolved from Mitra.
"Rise."
Duncan looked down at the Benevolent Mother kneeling before him, his gaze sweeping over her voluptuous and alluring figure, calmly said: "Bring the 'Root Wisdom Scripture of Exhausting All Laws'."
The Benevolent Mother slowly rose, bowed respectfully, and said: "Yes. Ming King."
Since he is the messenger of the Great Ming Respected One, Duncan could freely read all the teachings and secret scriptures of the Ming sect. The Benevolent Mother glanced at the Five Mingzi beside her, signaling them to bring forth teachings like 'Treasure Scripture of Pure Destiny', 'The Medicine King Scripture', 'Scriptures of the Strong', and other sect secrets.
Duncan's silhouette remained standing, gazing into the blazing Holy Fire, his eyes deep, seemingly lost in thought.
It wasn't until the Benevolent Mother presented the 'Root Wisdom Scripture of Exhausting All Laws' that he returned to his senses, calmly saying: "Arrange a place for me to stay."
"I want to comprehend the sect's secret scriptures."
The Benevolent Mother bowed respectfully, saying: "Yes. Ming King."
Duncan's figure walked towards the courtyard in the back, suddenly stopped, and ordered the Five Mingzi: "Immediately search for the whereabouts of the Sect Hierarch."
"Let him come see me!"
The entire Ming sect leadership, except for the missing Sect Hierarch, had basically submitted to him.
This time should not require waiting for Fang La's uprising.
Duncan, with the respect of the Ming King, could at any time mobilize the Ming sect followers to rise, only that what he aimed to do was too vast, relying on just the Ming sect might not suffice.
"It's time to visit the myriad spirits."
At the current time, the Mongolian base had not yet unified, divided into tribes such as the Kerait, Tatar, and Merkit, frequently warring against each other, while the Qidan Liao, after annexing the Khakassian Khanate in 931, established hegemony, controlling most of the Mongolian Plateau.
It would still take over a hundred years for Temujin to rise and unify the various Mongolian tribes.
The Eternal Heaven's favorite child.
If Duncan had not arrived, the likely evolution of this world would still trace the Root World's development, merging the concepts of myriad spirits with Eternal Heaven and Heaven, then Chinggis Khan, who truly received Heaven's favor, would emerge and rise.
Zhao Song is considered a dynasty without celestial destiny, rarely having a strong phase, economically booming, but the common people were impoverished, the literati indulged, missing numerous historical opportunities. Zhao Kuangyin died unexpectedly, Zhao the Second squandered hundreds of thousands of troops, earning the title 'God of the Chariots at Gaoliang River', and most descendants were worse than one another.
As for the Shame of Jingkang, Yue Fei, Xin Qiji, Di Qing, and others needn't be mentioned.
For centuries, the people of the Central Plains were annually beaten and annually paid tribute.
Noticing that Song Dynasty's economy was truly prosperous, and Bianjing was extraordinarily busy, the fact is that this was sustained by drawing resources nationwide, with 434 peasant uprisings throughout the Song Dynasty, averaging 1.36 per year, far exceeding other dynasties.
If using data to compare, the Tang Dynasty had only 183 uprisings in 289 years, Ming Dynasty approximately 101 in 276 years, and Qing Dynasty about 200 in 268 years, all far below the Song Dynasty.
The Central Plains dynasties liked to call themselves 'Great', such as Great Han, Great Tang, Great Ming, Great Qing, yet this Great Song truly was somewhat small, hardly considered a Great Unity dynasty.
Anyone who has played games knows that when the economy is booming, with god-level equipment, renowned figures and star generals at hand, yet when initiating an attack, getting beaten by opponents; it's definitely an issue of operational skill.
The root of Song's disease lies on the throne.
There really aren't many Central Plains dynasties continually passively beaten.
Moreover, being full of heavenly figures cards while getting beaten.
Throughout history, eminent figures that emerged during the Song Dynasty were still ranked high.
"The world is a chessboard."
"I place my pieces casually, how many moves can you guard against?"
How strong could the stolen celestial destiny be?
I want to try!
Duncan looked up at the sky, smiled faintly, instructing the Benevolent Mother to stay and interpret the untranslated 'Root Wisdom Scripture of Exhausting All Laws'.
Now the heavenly machine is in chaos.
Whether in Southern Han, Southern Tang, Northern Song, or even Qidan Liao, he could freely place his pieces and strategize. Once he conquered the six branches of the Demonic Sect, Duncan could completely initiate an offensive, swiftly pacifying the chaotic realm.
By then, the momentum would be complete, no one would have the means to reverse the worldwide trend, the only thing that person could do was to emerge and face Duncan directly.
By then, only by killing Duncan would he have one final chance to turn the tables.
The net Duncan laid down was to force him to appear proactively.
