Of course, this' Death Note 'was different from the' Death Note 'that Yuan Kou possessed, which could paralyze a person's heart in an instant. That was something that only Yuan Kou could use. The' Death Note 'in the possession of the Gui Hall's sword spirit was basically just an ordinary notebook.
It was said that the Gui Hall's sword spirit had bought it from a roadside stall for one yuan. There was no decoration on it at all, only a simple black cover.
However, this simple notebook had struck fear into the hearts of countless ancient and famed sword bearers. Once they heard that their names were in the notebook, they would immediately start distributing their properties, prepare their wills, spend some time with their families, and then die generously.
The reason for this effect was that the Gui Hall's sword spirit held a position in the Sword Committee: "Director of the Shanhai Pass Dispatching Office of the Sword Committee."
There were a lot of directors in any unit, so the position of director sounded like a very small official position.
But in fact, it was an incredible position.
Shanhai Pass was the most tragic battlefield for mankind. The death rate was 40% in three years. No sword bearers were willing to go there. Therefore, distributing the quota for the sword bearers had become a huge problem.
In the end, the Sword Committee agreed that the quota would be distributed according to the number of sword bearers in each city. This was the fairest way. No base city could object.
Every city had its own Shanhai Pass Administrative Committee. The Shanhai Pass Administrative Committee was responsible for selecting the sword bearers of the city.
Previously in Yan Jing City, Gu Han had met the incomparably powerful Lord Bear. As an ordinary person, he actually dared to threaten the sword-bearers because his sworn brother was the chairman of Yan Jing City's Shanhai Pass Management Committee. As long as this Lord Bear said a word, some unlucky sword-bearers would be transferred to Shanhai Pass.
Therefore, as long as it did not affect their own interests, the sword bearers in Yanjing City would not want to provoke Lord Bear.
However, Lord Bear's threat was meaningless to Guhan.
No matter how influential Lord Bear was, he could not order the Shanhai Pass Administrative Committee of Yuzhang City.
Therefore, in principle, unless the Shanhai Pass Management Committee of Yuzhang City wanted to transfer Guhan to Shanhai Pass, other cities would not allow Guhan to enter Shanhai Pass.
However, there was an exception, and that was the Mountain Pass Dispatching Office of the Headquarters of the Sword Commission. Once the Mountain Pass Dispatching Office proposed to transfer a sword bearer to Mountain Pass, the Mountain Pass Management Committee of the Base City could not change the decision even if the Mountain Pass Dispatching Office rejected it. The sword bearer who was transferred to Mountain Pass by the Mountain Pass Dispatching Office would still have to go to Mountain Pass and risk his life.
The reason for this was because of the Heavenly Cycle Star Formation in the Shanhai Pass.
As a super formation that could suppress the 12 Divine Fiend Formation, the Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation was extremely powerful. However, activating it was also very difficult.
The Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation required 365 Large Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation and 14800 Small Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation. Each Star Banner needed a sword bearer to be in charge of guarding it.
The Small Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation was easy to make. It needed the most ancient sword bearers, who were the most useless. Every city's Shanhai Pass Administrative Committee would select some ancient sword bearers who had been stuck at the ancient sword rank for a long time and had no chance of advancing to Shanhai Pass. Then, they would be given sufficient rewards. This matter could be considered to have been resolved very peacefully.
The real problem was the guardian of the 365 Large Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation Banners. These 365 Large Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation Banners had to be guarded by a Famous Sword Rank sword bearer. Moreover, it had to be a Famous Sword Rank sword bearer. A spirit sword rank higher or a treasure sword rank lower would not do. It had to be a true Famous Sword Rank sword bearer.
It sounded easy. There were a few thousand Famous Sword Rank sword bearers among the humans. It did not seem difficult to take away 365 sword bearers.
It was not wrong to think this way. Choosing the Famous Sword Rank sword bearers to guard the ordinary Large Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation was not difficult. The real difficulty was choosing the Famous Sword Rank sword bearers who were responsible for guarding the Large Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation. This was the most difficult thing.
To a certain extent, the layout of the Great Heavenly Cycle Star Formation was similar to the layout of a pyramid. The pinnacle main star, the Great Heavenly Cycle Star Banner, was responsible for controlling the other guest stars, the Great Heavenly Cycle Star Banner. Each guest star, the Great Heavenly Cycle Star Banner, controlled its own subsidiary star, the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Banner. The layers of control ensured the integrity and suppression of the entire Great Heavenly Cycle Star Formation.
In Shanhai Pass, the Wu people formed by the 12 Zu Wu bloodlines were constantly trying to break through the suppression of the Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation. They would constantly attack the sword bearers who were guarding the Large Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation Banners. Up to 40% of the sword bearers died in the hands of these Wu people.
Once some of the areas that the sword bearers were responsible for suppressing were breached by the Wu people, the wonderful use of the pyramid structure of the Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation would be displayed.
Even if some small Star Banners were lost, as long as the superior of these small Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation Banner, which was the Large Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation Banner, was still there, the area would still be under the control of the sword bearers. The sword bearers in charge of the Large Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation Banner could continuously deploy their forces according to the real-time battle situation and recapture the occupied small Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation Banner.
Similarly, if the Wu people launched a large-scale counterattack, to the extent that the entire Large Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation Banner was lost, the Large Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation Banner of the main Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation Banner would still have the ability to counterattack.
Under such layers of control, even if some of the sword bearers of the small Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation Banner died, it wouldn't be a big deal.
But on the other hand, if the Wu people didn't find trouble with the small Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation Banner, but directly attacked the sword bearers guarding the Large Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation Banner of the main star … Once this sword bearer died, even if his subordinates were still alive, the entire Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation Banner controlled by the main star would be completely destroyed.
According to human statistics, once three main stars lost their guardians at the same time, the Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation Banner would lose its absolute suppression over the 12 Zu Wu, and the human race would once again face a great disaster.
Therefore, the sword bearer responsible for guarding the main star became very important. This sword bearer must have a strong talent, so that he could resist the sudden sneak attack of the Wu people and persevere until his other subordinates and the reinforcements from the headquarters of Shanhai Pass came to support him.
In the history of Shanhai Pass, there had been a total of four extremely dangerous situations. Two of the famous sword bearers of the main star were killed by the sneak attack of the Wu people because their talent was not good enough. There was also the famous sword bearer of the remaining main star who bitterly resisted to the point of heartbreak to protect the third main star. It could be said that it was extremely dangerous. The fate of human beings was like walking on a steel wire rope.
Therefore, if possible, human beings would rather place the spirit sword bearers in the main star, so that the safety would be greatly improved.
Even if it might cause the death and injury of the spirit sword bearers, it was better than the sudden resurrection of the 12 Zu Wu.
It was a pity that spiritual sword level sword-bearers couldn't control the Great Zhou Tian Star Time Banner at all. It was meaningless in there, and it wasn't even as powerful as a famed sword level sword-bearer.
Therefore, humans could only choose the most talented sword-bearers among the famous sword-bearers to guard the Great Zhou Tian Star's Star Banner.
However, at this point in time, the human's doctrine of being the leader of a mountain naturally emerged.
A talented Famed Sword level swordsman naturally meant a brighter future. It meant that there was a high chance that he would become a Spirit Sword level swordsman, a Divine Sword level swordsman, or even an Emperor Sword level swordsman … According to the statistics, there was an 80% chance that Jiandi who had been promoted after the appearance of Shanhai Pass had been the guardian of the Zhou Tian Star's Star Banner.
It sounded good. Only those who had been trained in that position could become Jiandi … But in fact, there were more talented sword-bearers who had died in that position. After the appearance of Shanhai Pass, the total number of sword-bearers above spiritual sword level had decreased by 30%, which was the best evidence. Ever since the appearance of Shanhai Pass, there had never been a situation where the four emperors were in the sky.
No base city was willing to have their most talented Famed Sword level sword-bearers die in the Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation.
Therefore, most of the time, the Shanhai Pass Management Committee of each city would hide the few most talented Famed Sword level sword-bearers … At first, the Sword Committee turned a blind eye to this. However, after the four mysterious crises, the Sword Committee learned from their mistakes and, under the leadership of all the Jiandi, established the Shanhai Pass Dispatching Office of the Sword Committee.
This department had no other task but to investigate the most talented Famed Sword level sword-bearers in each base city. Then, they would mobilize them and send them to Shanhai Pass to guard the Main Star.
The authority of the Shanhai Pass Dispatching Office of the Sword Committee came from the Jiandi of each era. The Shanhai Pass Management Committee of each city did not even have the right to speak. Only the chairman of the Sword Committee of the base city that the sword-bearers belonged to and the master of the Sword Pavilion could give a clear rejection at the same time and provide sufficient reasons. Then, after the Sword Committee Headquarters held a meeting to discuss, they could cancel the decision of the Shanhai Pass Dispatching Office of the Sword Committee.
However, this was extremely difficult. Since ancient times, such a meeting had only been held twice, and both times, the base cities had failed.
Later on, the authority of the Shanhai Pass Dispatching Office of the Sword Committee Headquarters was not only limited to the Main Star. This office was also qualified to mobilize the Famed Sword level sword-bearers to some important guest planets.
Therefore, people could imagine the formidable authority of the Sword Spirit of the Ming Palace. As long as he felt that a Famed Sword level sword-bearer was talented enough, he would record the name of the Famed Sword level sword-bearer in his little black notebook. Then, he would assign the sword-bearer to any position in the Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation. Which Famed Sword level sword-bearer would not be afraid of the little black notebook in the Ming Palace's hands?
