"The battle between the two Creation Dragons was particularly terrifying, and the impact of energy brought a fierce collision. These energies spilled over and dispersed, prompting the rapid birth of new life, and almost overnight, countless new lives appeared in the world. It's just that most of these lives are very fragile and have a short lifespan, almost equivalent to the chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs they have now. And because of the revenge of the dark dragon, many of the first humans suffered heavy losses and were deprived of the spirit core, which is the so-called fairy bone of the celestials. But the first generation of humans can be said to be the most powerful race at that time. The spirit core was abolished, but they did not die, but they did not have a long lifespan from then on, and their physical bodies became extremely fragile, but they could still cultivate. ”

"The descendants of these people are the current human beings!" Bi Lingxiao suddenly realized.

"Yes, because of the origin, the celestials and humans lived in harmony with the humans for a long time afterward, but as time passed, the celestials gradually began to feel impatient with these fragile races. It's an insult to have such a group of weak people in your own country. As a result, the celestials decided to make a distance from humans, and now they have become two completely different races. ”

Bullying the weak and fearing the hard, climbing higher than themselves, stepping on weaker than themselves, although human beings have a spirit far from that of animals, they do no different things than wild beasts. Bi Lingxiao thought disdainfully. It's just that having said so much, although it was very eye-opening for him, it doesn't seem to be related to the original question, right?

"Although you said it very well, didn't you say that you were going to tell me something about the Heavenly Monarch's Protector, how about history?"

"Because these are important. Don't worry, the old man will explain all the problems one by one. The old man laughed.

Bi Lingxiao shrugged, noncommittal.

"So I'll move on. Because of the collision between the Light Dragon and the Dark Dragon, countless new lives appeared, and after this great battle, this world entered a long period of peace. The Creation Dragons gradually faded out of the world, no one knew where they went, and their direct descendants, the Celestial Dragons, ruled the heavens and the earth, and the leader of the Celestial Dragons was the Celestial Monarch. Under the control of the first Heavenly Emperor, the various races coexisted in harmony. Without the birth of conflict, all races multiplied rapidly, and the most powerful of them were humans. Despite the loss of the spirit core, with their superior intelligence, they grew rapidly faster than any species, and soon became the most numerous race in the world, but this is when the change happened. ”

The crowd pricked up their ears.

"The heavens, which have been harmonious since the beginning, have cracked. ”

"Rip?" Bi Lingxiao was extremely surprised.

It's so strange that the sky can crack, isn't it? If you put it on the earth, it can be said that it is too polluted and the ozone layer is thinning, but in this completely new world, it is not easy to explain.

"Not bad. What started out as a sinuous rift grew larger and larger as time progressed, and beyond the rift was an unsurvivable void. The voice continued. "There is turbulence in the void, there is black gas, and these enter through the cracks, causing extremely terrible consequences. No one could resist the turbulence and the erosion of the black gas, not even the most powerful primordial humans at that time, they could not survive in the black gas for more than a day. ”

This is simply a situation that has never been heard of before. It's okay that the turbulence is okay, they've all seen it, but what is this black gas? I feel like I'm listening to a story, and everyone has an expression that is out of the situation.

"You'll see. Seeing everyone's confusion, the old man seemed to think of something, and sighed. "Of course, the sky is intact now, and the people and things of that time are still there today, proving that the rift has been repaired. So, do you know why the sky cracks?"

The problem suddenly fell on them, and everyone was surprised and a little overwhelmed. Bi Lingxiao held his chin. According to the old man, the heavens and the earth were very stable after the creation of the Seven Dragons, and there was no phenomenon of splitting the sky, and even the two Creation Dragons did not break this stability. The only difference from the beginning of the creation is that after the war, the creation dragon returned to seclusion, other races grew, and the Tianlong clan was in charge of the peace of the world. Is it ...... that all ethnic groups are growing?

"Could it be because there are too many people?"

Before and after the split, except that there was no strife, there was only a difference in the number of species. As the old man said earlier, the battle between the Dark Dragon and the Light Dragon had a very important impact. It seems that it is definitely not just because the magic sword made by the dark dragon horn gave birth to the hidden demon. After the Great War, all things were born, and human beings lost their spiritual cores, but they multiplied rapidly, so it is possible that because the birth of a large number of lives exceeded the carrying limit of heaven and earth, it began to collapse!

"Not bad. The old man's answer confirmed his suspicions. "In the world ruled by the Heavenly Monarch, although there is constant friction among the various races, there is no major war. Although this is a good thing, the massive expansion of the race in a harmonious environment has brought great pressure to heaven and earth, and one day, this pressure can no longer be withheld. ”

Sure enough, it was. Bi Lingxiao thought secretly. In this way, this world is actually similar to the earth, except that the earth is a star, and this world is more like a huge space, but in the same way, they all have a carrying limit. And the peaceful and prosperous era under the rule of the Heavenly Monarch has produced results that precisely exceed this limit.

"But if that's the case, then why does our world still exist now?Since it's a matter of ancient times, if the rift continues to spread, I'm afraid that the creatures of this world will disappear?" Polaris wondered.

Yes, if the rift is allowed to exist, the world will be destroyed sooner or later. However, now that you know the root of the problem, it is very easy to suppress the rift, as long as you ...... Thinking of this, Bi Lingxiao felt a chill in his heart.

"Because the rift has been mended, by a creation dragon and the flesh of countless lives. The old man's voice suddenly became extremely distant, and Bi Lingxiao felt that he was locked by his breath. "Your Majesty, you are the person responsible for mending the heavens of this generation. ”

Bi Lingxiao didn't react for a while. "Mending the sky?"

"At that time, the rift in the sky was rapidly expanding, and the world was in danger, and at this moment, the Creation Dragon, which had been silent for countless years, reappeared. Apparently they brought a solution at the same time, but this one was particularly cruel. The voice muttered. "First, they created a giant golden tree, and then, among the humans and demons, they chose a million people. At that time, the celestial and human, the demon and the demon beast had not yet separated, and this choice was not random - only the old, weak, sick and disabled, and the 'useless people' were selected, of which humans accounted for the majority of the number. ”

Then, they ......" Something suddenly came to mind, and Polaris' face turned pale.

"Together with the creation dragon, they sacrificed to the giant tree and received a fruit. This fruit repaired the crack, and because it was made of the flesh and blood of countless living beings, it was called the Spirit Son. ”

Bi Lingxiao was silent, and everyone was silent.

No one is born innocent. He suddenly thought of such a sentence, which was really perfectly applied in this world. Because everyone here was born into this world by stepping on the bones of others, every piece of land they stepped on, every drop of water they drank, and even every breath of air they breathed came from the soul of an unknown life.

"It's just that although the sky has been mended, the growth of living things is inevitable. Therefore, every few years, the energy brought by the spirit son cannot be supported, the sky will crack again, and the creation dragon will once again bring millions of living beings to make up for the sky. However, the number of Creation Dragons is limited, and after all seven Divine Dragons have passed away due to mending the sky, this task is given to the direct descendants of the Creation Dragons, the Celestial Dragon Clan. The old man said. "Every time the heavens are mended, the then great elder of the Tianlong clan, plus the people selected from the various clans, are sacrificed, and the giant tree gives birth to a spirit son who can mend the sky. Over time, people will not rush to sacrifice after the sky has really cracked. Because it takes time for the spirit child to solidify, and these times are enough for the rift to expand to a certain limit. Therefore, each new Great Elder will select sacrifices in advance within a few years after the completion of the Heaven Replenishment, and the Spirit Son needed for the next Heaven Replenishment has been prepared tens of thousands of years ago. ”

"It's just that this time the Rei is different because it has a spiritual intelligence. ”

The purple pine forest is quiet in the dark. In the slightly quiet air after the old man paused, Bi Lingxiao slowly raised his head.

"This spirit son is me, right? ”

Chu Xiaoxiao bit her lip, and Polaris clenched her hands. "Brother Xiao......"

The most out of the situation are Gu Qinghe and Xiaoqing, except for surprise, they can't make other expressions.

The old voice did not speak, apparently acquiescing.

"And what about your decision?" Purple Pine Forest's voice suddenly became slightly abrupt in the atmosphere that suddenly became serious.

"What decision?"

"Lingzi is all prepared in advance to repair the next Heaven Split. But because there is a problem with the Lingzi of this generation, it has produced Lingzhi, since you have Lingzhi, and you are the Heavenly Monarch, you naturally have the right to decide. Purple Pine Forest looked up. "Whether you continue your mission to mend the heavens, or choose the sacrifice again. ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene was suddenly silent.

How did things suddenly reach an incomparably noble level? Bi Lingxiao wanted to keep his composure, but his chaotic brain had turned into a mess.

If he chooses to complete his mission, he will naturally have to sacrifice his life. He hasn't fully understood what's going on, and he's going to make sacrifices for the sake of righteousness, especially since there are scum like my wife Che Yue?

If he were to dedicate his life to these moths, he would definitely not be happy with it. But if he didn't do it, it would mean that a Heavenly Dragon Great Elder, and the so-called millions of 'useless' people would have to sacrifice for it. Although he admits that he is not very kind, he can't feel any pleasure in this kind of behavior similar to revenge against the world to evade responsibility.

"Then why am I the Heavenly Monarch?"

Just as everyone was holding their breath and waiting for an answer, he suddenly asked this question.

Since the Celestial Dragon Clan was turned into a Black Qilin by him, well, as the Heavenly Monarch - he suddenly admired that he actually accepted the same news as this story - then back to the question, in this case, how could the Celestial Dragon Clan, who had become a black unicorn, lead the sacrifice? Speaking of which, why he was sealed has not yet been explained, since he is a spirit son used to mend the heavens, why did he become the Heavenly Monarch again, and why did he still seal him?

"Because this spirit son is not only intelligent, but also highly qualified. Perhaps because he is a collection of countless living beings, he is very wise and powerful, and even created a peerless secret technique, which is to bring the dead back to life. Purple Pine Forest said slowly.

Bi Lingxiao's heart moved.

"The Heavenly Monarch is a benevolent lord who looks forward to peace in the world, but heaven and earth are confined there, and if he wants to maintain peace, he must have large-scale sacrifices, and he can't do it by Leng Yan watching the various tribes fight and trample on him. Therefore, the secret technique pioneered by Lingzi made the Heavenly Monarch seem to see a glimmer of hope—perhaps the hope that the cruel cycle of mending the heavens could be broken. Therefore, even though he knew that he was burdened with sacrifice, he still resolutely gave up the position of Heavenly Monarch to Lingzi, and he retreated to the position of Great Elder. Speaking of this, the purple pine forest smiled. "It's the person you're telling the story. ”

"Whatever you do is right. The old man's voice was long. "The old man chose to give way as the Great Elder, precisely because he knew that it was extremely difficult to break the cycle since ancient times, and before things were really done, I am afraid that he would need more than one work to make up for the sky. Old man, I can only give you as much time as possible. ”

Bi Lingxiao suddenly didn't know what to say. After doing it for a long time, although he was asked how to decide, this great elder, no, it was the former Heavenly Monarch, in fact, he had already made preparations to sacrifice himself!
