Chapter 398 Chapter V Joint Agreement

Standing still on the isolated peak, Jian Wuchen looked at the vast world, feeling a little frustrated.In the past, no matter where he went, he was the master of the alliance of the Six Houses, a symbol of righteousness.Now, in just a few days, he has changed from a righteous master to a well-known villain, and this transformation makes him somewhat uncomfortable. Although he is vicious and evil by nature, as long as he is human, who wouldn't want others to flatter him? Thinking about the current situation, Jian Wuchen was a little angry.Before Liu Xinghun stirred up, he was very emotional, but now he calmed down and thought about it carefully, he destroyed Yaochi, killed the swordsman of the sky, this made everyone in the world look down on him.In addition, he used to focus on eliminating demons, and it had nothing to do with the Three Realms of the Territory. Now that the righteous way is chasing and killing him, he has no way to go to heaven and nowhere to go, and there is no place for him in the whole world.

With a faint sigh, Jian Wuchen took out the Houyi Divine Bow, stroked it lightly, and whispered in his mouth: "The Divine Bow shakes the world, whoever owns you can rule the world, but why am I not happy with everything?" Shen Gong said nothing, only the breeze, whispering.On the top of the peak, Jian Wuchen looks at the sky and the earth, the back of a person is so lonely.Perhaps, he, who likes to show off by nature, gradually realized the taste of loneliness at this moment. At the foot of the mountain, a figure galloped up, and reached the top of the mountain in a blink of an eye. Looking at Jian Wuchen's back, he called softly, "Wuchen, are you thinking about something?"

Without turning around, Jian Wuchen said indifferently: "I'm just wondering if the ideas you made with me before were too superficial." Liu Xinghun frowned, and said softly: "Wu Chen, what's wrong with you, don't you even trust your uncle?" Turning around, Jian Wuchen looked at him, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, forcing Liu Xinghun to avoid quickly. "Of course I can trust Master Uncle, but after you let me kill Master Patriarch, how will you gain a foothold in the world?" Liu Xinghun retorted: "If you don't kill him, let him hunt and kill you all day long, what can you do?"

Jian Wuchen snorted: "At least then I still have room to pay back, not like now." Liu Xinghun sighed: "You can't turn back after destroying Yaochi, why bother to say these things at this time?" Jian Wuchen gasped: "If you don't say these things, what can I say?" Liu Xinghun didn't answer, and after a long silence, he asked, "Wuchen, what are you going to do now? Do you continue to sneak back to the vicinity of the Demon Slayer Alliance, or..." Jian Wuchen said: "Going back at this time will only make fun of ourselves, if we want to fight for the world, we must find another way."

Liu Xinghun pondered and said: "In the present world, there are not many good and evil masters left after repeated battles. It may be difficult for us to seek strong support. Right now, we must wait for the opportunity, or we can only... " Seeing him stop suddenly, Jian Wuchen asked: "That's all there is to it, why didn't you say it?" Liu Xinghun hesitated and said: "The only thing is to change your appearance and appear in the world with a new identity." Jian Wuchen frowned and said: "Your method sounds good, but how long will it take? After we change our appearance, will people notice it? Besides, if I disappear suddenly, neither the righteous nor the evil will believe it. What about the bow?"

Liu Xinghun said: "This matter naturally needs a process. As for the news of your life and death, it is very simple. You first think of a new identity, but with that identity, kill Jian Wuchen and take the Houyi Bow. In this way Isn't everything reasonable? At that time, you, as a righteous person, call on the righteous people in the world, or directly join the Demon Elimination Alliance, under their noses, monitor their movements at all times, and give them a chance whenever you have a chance. A fatal blow, which is just right for revenge." Jian Wuchen was a little moved, and questioned: "There are so many masters in the Demon Elimination Alliance. If I want to change my appearance, I'm afraid I may not be able to hide it from them."

Liu Xinghun said: "This is the most critical point, we need to take a risk." Jian Wuchen pondered and said: "Your move is indeed ruthless, but we have a shortcoming, that is the method of practice. If someone can kill me, his cultivation must be amazing. The method used What is it, this will definitely attract the attention of both the good and the evil. Once we enter the Demon Elimination Alliance, they will definitely ask, and once I show my hands at that time, they will be exposed immediately." Liu Xinghun said: "I can't do anything about it. There are only a handful of people in the world like Lu Yun who possess both righteous and evil techniques. If this plan doesn't work, we'd better stay away temporarily."

Jian Wuchen was a little unwilling, and snorted: "I won't just let it go, I must let the world know that I, Jian Wuchen, are no worse than anyone else." Liu Xinghun smiled wryly and said, "Wuchen, it's good that you have such a heart, but right now we have to be patient. The so-called great things must be able to bend and stretch, as long as they are alive, there is hope, you..." "That's enough, I don't want to hear this. Just tell us where we are going now." Jian Wuchen, who was in an irritable mood, seemed a little irritable. Liu Xinghun knew his temper, so he didn't care, he just said: "The more dangerous the place, the safer, we sneak back to Taixuan Mountain now, the masters of the Nine Heavens of Nothingness will never think of it."

Jian Wuchen said: "Okay, let's go back and wait for the opportunity. One day, I will... Hey... Someone, who is it, come out." The momentum was released, Jian Wuchen immediately entered the combat state, and his expression was extremely stern . From the mountainside, a chuckle came, and a figure was seen approaching in an instant, and its speed was astonishingly fast.It was a middle-aged man with green light shining all over his body. He looked handsome and had a gloomy expression, and his blue eyes flickered strangely from time to time. This person has a strange aura, with a hint of enchantment. "Are you Jian Wuchen?"

"That's right, it's me. Who are you?" Looking at this person vigilantly, Jian Wuchen found that the cultivation of this middle-aged man was as strong as his own, which was extremely shocking. In today's world, Jian Wuchen's cultivation has reached an extremely high level, and it is rare to have a master who can compare with him. When did such a master become more, why haven't we heard of it? After careful consideration, the middle-aged man nodded and said, "I am extraordinary in cultivation, I am worthy of being the successor of Houyi's Divine Bow. As for my identity, I am not in a hurry for now. If we have a good talk later, I will naturally tell you. you."

Jian Wuchen was a little puzzled, and Liu Xinghun who was at the side asked, "Did you come here specially to find Wuchen?" The middle-aged man glared at him, and said disdainfully: "This is between me and Jian Wuchen. No matter who you are, leave now, I don't like other people here, affecting our conversation. " Liu Xinghun was a little annoyed when he heard this, and asked, "Why should I listen to you? Who are you? We don't know whether your intentions are good or evil. How can we trust you?" The middle-aged man said conceitedly: "Why? Based on your current situation." Liu Xinghun snorted: "Even if we are in a bad situation, it's still not your turn to intervene in our affairs." The middle-aged man smiled contemptuously: "If I don't come, what else can you do but wait to die?" "Nonsense. We can recharge our batteries and wait for the right time." Liu Xinghun shouted, glaring at the middle-aged man. Looking up at the sky with disdain, the middle-aged man said proudly: "Opportunity? With Jian Wuchen's identity and what he has done, I'm afraid neither the good nor the evil will give you this chance." Jian Wuchen remained silent, Liu Xinghun retorted: "It's up to people, don't stop talking." The middle-aged man ignored him and said, "I'll say it again, you leave immediately, or I will leave." Liu Xinghun snorted: "Who cares that you can't stay?" Hearing this, the middle-aged man's eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "This time I came to the door automatically. Next time you try to find me, I'm afraid I will make you lose your legs." After speaking, he turned around and strode away. Jian Wuchen looked at his back and said, "Wait a minute, since your Excellency is here, you must have a purpose. Why don't you explain it directly." The middle-aged man turned his back to the two of them, and said indifferently: "It's easy to find out why I'm here. You let him leave and we talk about it alone. Otherwise, don't talk about it." Jian Wuchen hesitated a bit, thought about it, and said to Liu Xinghun: "Uncle, you wait for me at the foot of the mountain first." Liu Xinghun was a little surprised, nana said: "Wuchen, you... Forget it, be more careful." After speaking, he flew down and disappeared into the forest. Turning around, the middle-aged man looked at Jian Wuchen, and the two of them stared for a long while before looking away. "Now that there is no one else here, what do you mean by coming to me?" Jian Wuchen couldn't help being curious and asked first. The middle-aged man said indifferently: "I came here to make a deal with you." Jian Wuchen was puzzled: "Trading? Why did you find me." The middle-aged man said: "Because you are the descendant of Houyi's bow." Jian Wuchen questioned: "In this way, you have asked me for something?" The middle-aged man emphasized: "I don't want to ask you, but to cooperate with you. Everyone benefits. Now that you are in the world, you are no longer able to dissolve the two ways of good and evil. If you want to make a comeback, you can only rely on me, because I can Provide you with powerful support and help you dominate the world." Jian Wuchen was a little suspicious, and asked: "You have no basis for what you said, how can I believe it?" The middle-aged man said: "Since I dare to say this, I naturally have a way to convince you. Now we are not arguing about these things, but about cooperation." Jian Wuchen paid attention to his expression, saw that his expression was plain and did not seem fake, so he asked: "How to cooperate, what do you want me to do for you, what can you give me?" The middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "The way of cooperation is very simple. The two of us form an alliance. At critical times, I will use the power of your magic bow to destroy my enemies. When you need it, I will fully support you. Of course, It takes trust in each other." Jian Wuchen said: "That's what you said, but you know me very well, but I don't know anything about you. If you want to discuss cooperation with me, you should first tell me your identity and origin." The middle-aged man said: "Of course I want to tell you this. Now you just tell me whether you are willing to cooperate with me." Jian Wuchen said: "As long as you can help me win the world, I am naturally willing to form an alliance with you." With a flat smile, the middle-aged man looked very calm, just nodded slightly, and said: "In this case, let's talk about the specific matters of cooperation. First of all, I have a question for you. As far as you know, apart from the world Besides the three realms and seven realms, are there other forces that exist?" Jian Wuchen thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "This seems to be gone, at least I never knew." The middle-aged man asked again: "Have you heard of the Four Great Jedi in the world?" Jian Wuchen said: "I know this. The Road of No Return in Lushan Mountain, the Blood River in Cangshan Mountain, the Nightless City in the Western Regions, and the Glazed Glass Palace in the South China Sea." The middle-aged man said: "Yes, it is these four places. You should have seen the inheritors of the first three places, but have you seen the last one?" Jian Wuchen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I haven't noticed if you didn't mention it, but the Nanhai Liuli Palace seems to have never entered the human world?" The middle-aged man's expression was different, and he said indifferently: "Because it doesn't belong to the world!" Jian Wuchen felt strange, and asked: "Isn't it one of the four great jedi in the world?" The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then murmured: "The reason why it became famous in the world is because many years ago, a peerless genius came out of the Liuli Palace, who once went to the world." Jian Wuchen snorted and asked, "What do you want to explain by asking me this?" The middle-aged man said seriously: "I'm asking you this because I want to tell you that besides the human world, there is another place with greater strength than the human world, and that is the sea!" Jian Wuchen looked surprised and said in astonishment: "Sea Territory? What is this place, why have I never heard of it? You said it has strength stronger than the world, how is this possible?" The middle-aged man rolled his eyes at him, and said with a sneer, "You don't know because you are ignorant. As for the strength of the sea area, I can tell you roughly. There are seven seas in the sea area, which are the four seas in the south, east, north, and west, plus the Red Sea, the Black Sea, and the Dead Sea. The Nanhai Liuli Palace that you are familiar with is the South China Sea among the four seas. It is the most powerful and most famous place among the four seas." Jian Wuchen was slightly angry, but he held back and said coldly: "So what about the Seven Seas, can it be compared to the Seven Realms?" The middle-aged man snorted and said, "The seas of the world are different. There are seven worlds in the world, and seven seas in the sea. Their status is equal. If we say that the strengths of the two are different, but the strength of the seas is already No weaker than the world." Jian Wuchen heard the words, pondered for a while, and asked: "You told me this, does that mean that you come from somewhere in the Seven Seas?" The middle-aged man said calmly: "Yes, I am from the sea area. I am looking for you this time, and I hope to cooperate with you and use your Houyi bow to help me deal with the enemy. After I complete my great cause, I will be able to help you dominate the world , which is beneficial to both you and me." Jian Wuchen frowned slightly, and said softly: "You mean that your current situation is similar to mine, and you still need my help first, but only then can you be able to help me?" The middle-aged man looked at him and said contemptuously: "Compared to you, I am much better than you. I am just looking for a helper, and the rest is ready. And you understand what is going on with you now better than I do." Jian Wuchen was a little annoyed, and shouted: "That's enough, you've been talking about me for a long time, and you can show your strength, let me see it. Don't just talk about it." The middle-aged man said proudly: "I can't let you see what strength I have, so you can only trust me. Now you are in a disadvantaged situation. If you want to turn around, you can only cooperate with me. Let's create a new world together." In this world, you are going to miss your chance." Jian Wuchen said solemnly: "With such an opportunity, I will naturally not give up, but you have to explain your words, don't keep flirting with me. You come from that place in the seven seas, you want me to help you deal with someone, What masters do you have under your command, you have to let me know them." After pondering for a while, the middle-aged man said: "Okay, let me tell you, I am from the South China Sea, and my cooperation with you is to use your Houyi Divine Bow to deal with the Lord of the Glass Palace, the South Sea God Dragon Han Yuyang. As long as he dies, we will He is the Lord of the South Sea. When the time comes to defeat the West Sea, you will be able to unify the four seas, but destroy the other three seas, unify the sea areas, and become the emperor of the sea. At that time, I will help you destroy the seven worlds and unify the world with the strongest power in the sea area. That’s the easy stuff.” Jian Wuchen asked in surprise: "You are from the South China Sea? So you are also from the Liuli Palace. Who are you and who are you, Han Yuyang?" The middle-aged man's face turned cold, and he said a little excitedly: "I am naturally from the Liuli Palace. My name is Chu Huaiyang. I am Han Yuyang's senior brother and the heir of the Liuli Palace. I tried my best to please him, but in the end my master was deceived by him, and I only passed on the palace master to him... For so many years, I have always been worried about this. Now that the sea area has changed, it is the best time for me to take back the South China Sea, so I came here world." Knowing his origin, Jian Wuchen knew in his heart that the result of cooperating with Chu Huaiyang was not as good as he said, but it was a hope after all, and it was undoubtedly an object worth considering for himself right now. .If he loses, he can follow suit. Once he wins, he will have the chance to unify the Seven Realms, which is what he wants most. With this understanding, Jian Wuchen said with a smile: "What belongs to you, you must try to get it back. Now I have made a decision, I will do my best to assist you in taking back the South China Sea and unifying the sea area. Don't forget your promise when the time comes .” The middle-aged man Chu Huaiyang smiled when he heard the words: "Don't worry, I belong to the sea area and am not interested in the human world. If I agree to help you, I will definitely help you. Now that we have agreed, we will keep this matter a secret for the time being. Don't tell anyone. In case Han Yuyang notices it. In addition, your uncle is a bit weird and has a strange aura about him, you'd better pay more attention." Jian Wuchen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Okay, I know about this. Now shall we go directly to the sea area, or do something else first?" Chu Huaiyang said: "Naturally, we will go to the sea area, but we must be extremely concealed and not let anyone know. Especially your uncle, I always feel that there is something wrong with him." Jian Wuchen hesitated, Chu Huaiyang repeatedly mentioned this, is there really something wrong with Liu Xinghun, or does Chu Huaiyang have some other purpose?After thinking about it, Jian Wuchen was not sure, he just said: "Okay, I know how to do this, I will send him away first, and go with you alone." Chu Huaiyang smiled and said: "So, I'll wait for you here, you go and make arrangements first, but we're leaving." Jian Wuchen responded and left immediately.Chu Huaiyang looked at his back, with a gloomy and smug smile on the corner of his mouth.Maybe he is happy, but who can tell what the final result will be at this time? Coming to the foot of the mountain, Jian Wuchen soon saw Liu Xinghun. "Wuchen, that person has been talking to you for a long time, is there some kind of conspiracy to deceive you?" Jian Wuchen hesitated and said: "It's hard to say. It's the first time we're dealing with it. I'm still not sure. But he mentioned it to me, and he wants to use my Houyi Bow to destroy an enemy. He promised to help unify the world in the future." Liu Xinghun questioned: "Is there such a good thing? I'm afraid it's a lie." Jian Wuchen said: "I can't say for sure, I can only gamble on luck. Now I have promised him to go to a place with him, you will wait for me in Taixuan Mountain first, and I will rush back soon. " Xinghun said worriedly: "Wuchen, where are you going? I'll go with you, so I can take care of you on the way." Jian Wuchen said: "Don't worry about this uncle, I have the Godly Bow of Houyi in my hand, he can't hurt me. Besides, before accomplishing what he wants to accomplish, even if he doesn't treat me sincerely, he won't It will be bad for me immediately. Well, that's it, you go back first, and I will come back to you when I finish my work." After finishing speaking, Jian Wuchen turned away without waiting for him to speak. Liu Xinghun whispered twice, seeing that there was no response, he hesitated for a while, then turned around and floated away.It's just that he is really going back to Taixuan Mountain, or is he going somewhere else? In an unnamed valley, a woman in colorful clothes stood indifferently.From a distance, she looks like a wild flower, blooming in the breeze, feeling a little lonely. Looking at the new grave in front of her, Fairy Caifeng wanted to cry but she had no tears. She had been standing here for a whole day, and the tears in her eyes had already dried up. In her red and swollen eyes, there was endless regret and sadness. For hundreds of years, this entangled relationship ended suddenly at this moment, which made her somewhat unacceptable and unable to face it. When Heavenly Swordsman died, he expressed his feelings for hundreds of years. The words "I love you deeply" were like a sharp knife, piercing into Fairy Caifeng's heart fiercely. The belated love is regrettable, but what makes her even more uncomfortable is that her choice was correct hundreds of years ago, but she was not sure, which made the three of them entangled in the end and suffered hundreds of years of pain time. Now, everything is clear, but the deceased is gone, no matter how much regret and self-blame, what can it do except add to the pain? It is easy to understand these things, but it is extremely difficult to forget them.Fairy Caifeng was silent and she cried all her tears within a day, but she still couldn't get relief, because the scar in her heart that had been in her heart for hundreds of years would not be healed easily just because everything was over. At dusk, the valley is more secluded.The sound of birdsong is reminding the world that the night is coming, go back quickly, go back quickly.It's just that broken heart, will it still care about these? In the night, a figure appeared in the sky out of thin air, without a single sound, just silently watching that slender and thin figure in the valley. On the ground, Fairy Caifeng stood quietly, and in the sky, that figure was silent.Neither of the two spoke, just savoring the loneliness in the night like that, and the night passed in a flash. This night, the heavens and the earth are constantly changing, only these two people have never had the slightest variation.Between them, there is no secular barrier, no time and space isolation, the distance seems to be close, and the relationship is vague, just like two bodies with only one heart, and the frequency remains the same. In the early morning, dewdrops slid down the green leaves and fell to the ground, and there was a ticking sound. It was very light, but it caught Fairy Caifeng's attention.After staring at it all night, she numbly turned her head to look at a small grass. At that moment, the dewdrops were slowly sliding down on it, and a ray of light shone slightly. At this moment, Fairy Caifeng concentrated her attention, and through the dewdrops in her eyes, she saw a wonderful world. At a fork in the road, two men and one woman came from three places at the same time. The three people's six eyes met at one point, and a new beginning appeared in the three people's minds. At that moment, fate connected the three of them together, and an entangled relationship has continued since then, and hundreds of years have passed in a blink of an eye.In the meantime, there are ups and downs, sorrows and joys, excitement and confusion, and mood swings.It's a pity... With a soft sound, dewdrops fell to the ground, and all illusions returned to calm.Fairy Caifeng woke up immediately, sighed faintly, and then looked up at the sky, wanting to ask God's will, but found a figure standing there quietly. The eyes converged, Fairy Caifeng shook her body, and said bitterly: "It's you, when did you come, why didn't you make a sound?" In the sky, that person floated slowly, it was actually Ouyang Yuntian, the leader of the demon sect that day, and he whispered: "He came last night..." Fairy Caifeng trembled, looked at him with complicated eyes, and sighed softly: "Why do you do this?" Ouyang Yuntian floated to the ground, looked at her calmly, and said with a low smile: "I will always be by your side to accompany you when you are happy or sad." Fairy Caifeng wanted to cry when she heard the words, but unfortunately her tears were dry, she could only look at him moved, her lips trembled slightly, she didn't know how to express her heart. Ouyang Yuntian took a step forward, hugged her body lightly, and whispered in her ear: "Feng, just cry in my arms when you are sad in your heart. No matter what time it is, my shoulders can protect you from the wind." Rain. Last night, all the sorrows faded away in the night. This morning, when you saw me, all the joys began in this valley and continued until we passed away. Happiness will surround you." Fairy Caifeng cried, crying very sadly, like a little girl, crying out all the grievances in her heart for hundreds of years, and she was determined to completely collapse at this moment. Ouyang Yuntian hugged her tightly, stroked her hair with both hands, and comforted her non-stop, slowly healing the scars in her heart that had remained for hundreds of years. At this moment, in this valley, this pair of lovers who had been in love for hundreds of years finally stuck together tightly, without a single gap. After a while, Fairy Caifeng gradually calmed down, with tears hanging on her beautiful face, she blushed slightly and said, "God, I've lost my composure." Ouyang Yuntian smiled pitifully: "It doesn't matter, my Feng'er will always be the most beautiful." Smiling shyly, Caifeng Fairy gently broke away from his embrace, glanced at the grave of the swordsman in the sky, and said in a low voice: "God, we met once, and you bowed to him, and you will not forget that old friend." .” Ouyang Yuntian was slightly hesitant, but then he followed his words and bowed to Swordsman Tian's grave, and said calmly: "If you die and hate, you and I will never mention the grievances between you and me. This gift can be regarded as thanking you on behalf of Feng'er. Although you hurt her deeply, at least you are a gentleman, I have to admit that." Fairy Caifeng was a little excited. After hundreds of years, this entangled relationship was not over until one person died. Isn't this too cruel? Seeing her sad face, Ouyang Yuntian persuaded: "Let's go, leave this sad place, the road to happiness is waiting for you and me." Fairy Caifeng was a little bit reluctant, she couldn't help but turn her head after walking a few steps, with endless sadness in her eyes. Ouyang Yuntian didn't force him, but comforted him softly, walked out of the valley, then took her hand and flew towards the clouds with him. While walking forward, Ouyang Yuntian said: "Feng, let's find a peaceful and peaceful place, where there is no war, no fighting, just me and you." Fairy Caifeng looked at him, leaned her head on his shoulder moved, and whispered: "My God, thank you. It's just that the capital of heaven has been destroyed and the righteous way has declined. I..." Ouyang Yuntian stroked her cheek, lightly interrupted her words, and comforted her: "Feng, forget about all that. Everyone has their own destiny. Things that you can't control, even if you want to, you can't do it." "But as a member of the Dharma Realm of the Cloud, how can I..." Stop talking, Fairy Caifeng looked at him, waiting for his response. Ouyang Yuntian said: "I remember that I once said that if one day the Dharma Realm of Clouds ceases to exist, you have to leave quickly, or you will be doomed. Now the world is chaotic, not to mention the earth yin, Tiansha, witch gods, and demons." The emperor's cultivation is astonishing and he can't deal with it, as far as Lu Yun is concerned, do you really think that you were right at the beginning?" Fairy Caifeng was silent, she knew very well in her heart that the battle with Lu Yun was actually all because of Jian Wuchen.Now, the Dharma Realm of Yun was destroyed, and it was his own fault. From a fair standpoint, Lu Yun was no wonder. Thinking about right and wrong in the world, Jian Wuchen, who was righteous, suddenly became evil, subverting everything.On the other hand, Lu Yun has won the hearts of the people from the very beginning. If he is really evil, will so many people spare their lives to save him again and again? With a long sigh, Fairy Caifeng buried her head in Ouyang Yuntian's arms, and whispered: "I once said that if Jianqiu died first, it would be the decision made by heaven for me. Now that it is God's will, I don't want to die again." Ask about the past, everything is up to you, I will go wherever you go. In the future, I will make up for what I have owed you for hundreds of years." Ouyang Yuntian's face brightened, and he said happily: "Feng, don't worry, I will make your future full of laughter and happiness, and you won't suffer any more grievances." The words suddenly accelerated, and the figures of the two disappeared into the sea of ​​clouds inside. After hundreds of years of vicissitudes, Ouyang Yuntian and Caifeng Fairy finally came together.Although hundreds of years of time were lost, such a result is also gratifying. After all, there is still a good time waiting for the two of them, which is also a blessing from the heavens!
