By the end of the war, the population of the Wu had plummeted, to less than one-fifth of what it had been in its heyday.

There was blood everywhere, corpses everywhere, and mourning everywhere.

On the contrary, the land of Kyushu is galloping with the war beasts and soldiers of the demon race. The iron hooves of the demon lord's soldiers and horses have ruthlessly trampled on this land, controlling the East for more than 70 years!

Mi Ji sighed: "Actually, to be honest, it's thanks to those Qi Refiners. ”

Later, those Qi Refiners rose up and led the remnants of the people to resist the killing of the demons. Moreover, there were also many real masters among the Qi Refiners, and the most powerful of them were Yuan Shi and them, who were already comparable to the top grade witches at that time. ”

"Yuan Shi, Daodao, and Tongtian, the three most powerful Qi Refiners, led their disciples to kill many demon generals. It took decades to finally get rid of the demons. ”

"And at that time, people had long been disappointed in the upper echelons of the Wu clan. Besides, the loss of the witch seed has made the hope of wanting to cultivate and advance much, much smaller. Therefore, many people simply followed the Qi Refiners to practice the new exercises. Because they have all heard that the cultivation of qi refiners does not need to be restricted by the inheritance of the witch species. ”

"Anyway, in the next few hundred years, it will be a period when there will be more and more Qi Refiners. On the contrary, there are fewer and fewer people who practice the Wu Clan's exercises, and in the end, there are not many people who cultivate. ”

Xin Yao not only sighed bitterly: "The fate of the Wu clan will be like this...... But in this way, the Qi Refiners have no fault. They did not do anything to be sorry for the Wu Clan, but stepped forward at the last moment to protect the people of the Wu Clan from generation to generation. Without them, the Wu clan would really be cut off. They have made great contributions to the world's society...... Yuan Shi Tianzun, you should be worshiped by my Xin Yao!! ”

Saying that, this proud Great Heavenly Witch Phantom actually bowed deeply to the Dao seal of the Yuan Shi Tianzun.

Even Gao Longzang didn't say a word, and bowed deeply to the Dao seal of the Yuan Shi Tianzun.

Moreover, Xin Yao Tianwu no longer called "Yuan Shi", but added the word "Tianzun" after Yuan Shi, which was the first time. In fact, when the two coexisted, the status of Yuan Shi Tianzun was much lower than that of Xin Yao Tianwu.

The chicken was a little unwilling, and said timidly: "He's a very hateful bastard stinky old man, you ......"

"No more nonsense!" Xin Yao's voice was fierce, "You have done your own sin, you should be punished, what is the matter with Guan Yuan Shi Tianzun." If anyone harms my subordinates like you, I will put him to death!" ”

Well, the chicken was too scared to speak.

Then, Xin Yao said in a distraught manner: "It's just a pity, His Majesty the Witch Emperor died in vain, and the other two Heavenly Witches and the twenty-four generals also died in vain......

Of course, her words also mean that she died in vain back then.

But Gao Longzang shook his head and said, "No, teacher, don't think so. ”

"At that time, it was precisely because the inheritance of the Witch Emperor could not be continued, and there could be no new Witch Emperor, that His Majesty the Witch Emperor took you to do that."

"Just imagine, if you don't do that, after the death of the Witch Emperor, who else will be able to compete with the Demon Emperor? In that case, the situation will be even worse. Because if there is a Demon Emperor to lead, even if Yuan Shi Tianzun and the others are very powerful, they will not be able to resist at that time. The chickens all said that at that time, the Yuan Shi Tianzun was equivalent to the strength of the top-grade Tianwu. ”

"Therefore, His Majesty the Witch Emperor and your sacrifice have at least laid the foundation for the Qi Refiners to fight against the Demon Clan, so that they don't have to fight against peerless masters like the Demon Emperor at least in the weakened period that has just emerged."

"Without Qi Refiners, we Oriental people would have died; But without your sacrifices, everyone would still die, and there was no hope at all. ”

Xin Yao thought about it and nodded dullly, what she said did make sense. As a result, her mood improved slightly.

……

When the Qi Refiners completely drove away the demons, it was already two hundred and fifty years after Xin Yao and the Witch Emperor died.

According to Mi Ji, although the Qi Refiners led everyone to drive away the army of the demon seed, the population of the people in the east is smaller, and it is difficult to even inherit and reproduce.

At the height of the Wu clan, the population of Kyushu was as high as 40 million. But after more than 200 years of internal strife and war, the population has plummeted to less than 3 million!

These three million people are the ancestors of today's Oriental people, and they are also the seeds and roots of the Chinese race!

And at this time, although the army of the demon clan is gone, it will still attack and disturb every few years, and kill a batch and leave. The demons have some strange mechanical civilizations, such as airships and the like, which make their long-range attack capabilities very powerful.

However, the Qi Refiners are different from the Wu Clan masters back then, they do not have the inheritance of the Beast Soul Language, and they cannot ride flying war beasts such as brute teeth and chickens to block and pursue. So, it's a bit like being beaten passively.

Moreover, it is precisely for this reason that more and more fierce beasts are no longer controlled by humans, but have begun to become the huge enemies of humans. Fierce beasts raged one after another, devouring the lives of the people of Limin.

You know, at that time, there were still a lot of first-class beasts like brute teeth and chickens, which were too powerful. The threat they posed to the people of the East was even greater than that of the demons.

But at that time, Yuan Shi Tianzun and others were only equivalent to the strength of the top-grade Heavenly Witch, and the disciples under their command were not as strong as the Wu army back then, and they were really powerless to resist the demons and expel the beasts at the same time.

In desperation, Yuan Shi Tianzun and them could only give up the rich and fertile plains and hide in the mountains with their clansmen. Because as mentioned earlier, if you live in a cave in the deep mountains, such as in this Kunlun Mountain, the threat of invasion by fierce beasts will be greatly reduced.

It's like this Jade Void Palace, although the interior is very wide, but the entrance to the cave is very small. Those huge beasts were at least difficult to get in lightly, so that they could be guarded by Qi Refiners.

In addition, these caves are at a high altitude and can easily reach the top of the mountain. Even if a demon airship arrives, they can climb to the top of the mountain to attack and block it. The height of the airship is no longer outside their attack range, which also greatly reduces the death of the Eastern ancestors, and also effectively curbs the invasion of the demons.

"And later?" Gao Longzang asked. He was very interested in this rare ancient history.

Ji Ji shook his head: "Later, Xiao Ji didn't know, anyway, the clansmen have been working hard, and they have lived a hard life like this cave for hundreds of years." Until Xiao Ji was ...... by Yuan Shi Lao When Yuan Shi Tianzun was imprisoned, they were still struggling to survive here, and it was eight hundred years after my aunt entered the sea eye. ”

"But at that time, Yuan Shi Tianzun had already become powerful, and he had a posture of catching up with the Witch Emperor back then."

"So Xiao Ji thought, in the near future, they may be out of the cave, because they have the ability to repel the demons in the plains, and they also have the means to kill and imprison the huge beasts."

Mi Ji is right, from then on, the era of Qi Refiners has truly arrived.

Moreover, using special jade to imprison demon seeds and other methods, it was also Yuan Shi Tianzun who later inadvertently discovered that the kind of thing they refined could not only assist in cultivation, slightly resist demon thoughts, and even imprison demon seeds and souls.

It's not that they didn't sue the Witch Emperor in the first place, it's that they didn't master this method at that time.
