Chapter 50: The Cunning Xuanwu
Hongjun laughed and said, "You get up." After speaking, Xuanwu got up and stood behind the Taishang. Hongjun turned to look at the elves again.
At this time, Nanuodo said anxiously: "This... This. It's your place, but... But we've been living here for hundreds of thousands of years, if you drive us away. We're going to die outside! ”
"That's not it, in fact, thousands of kilometers south from here, there are places suitable for you to survive, but..."
"But what?" Noldor's face was flushed, and he didn't know where to put his hands.
"But I don't want to drive you away, and besides, I'm going to ask you to stay and forbid you to go out." Hongjun suddenly said sternly.
"What? We didn't mean to leave. Noldor was first delighted, then strange.
Hongjun didn't say anything more, it didn't matter if they lived here, they were afraid that they would run out and affect the balance of the human world. Their powerful combat power can be done by fighting ten of them. Coupled with the number of nearly a thousand, if they are allowed to go out, how can humans get ahead? Confined them to this small place, waiting for thousands of years or tens of thousands of years, with the speed of human reproduction, I am afraid that if these elves are thrown out tens of thousands of streets, under the huge gap in numbers, the strength of the individual will be irrelevant.
Hongjun asked Xuanwu to level the ground first, and then led everyone to the ground, Noldor followed Hongjun closely, wanting Hongjun to give them a promise, after all, these elves have lived here for more than 100,000 years, and if they go outside, they will definitely not be able to withstand the desolate and extremely cold environment outside.
As he walked, he said to Noldo, "You can try to convince me now to start your speech." ”
Noldor said while speeding up his pace, "We elves have always been kind, we don't need food, the energy emitted by this tree of life is our food, the weapons in our hands are just to drive away all kinds of beasts and birds of prey that break in, we have always been kind to all kinds of creatures here, never have a conflict with them, some small animals will take the initiative to help them when they are hungry and sick, our elves are a race that respects life, loves life, and has no quarrel with the world, you see, We call your World Tree the Sacred Tree of Life, which also proves our understanding of life, in our eyes, all life is equal, and should not be treated differently because of the size of the body, the form of life, and the amount of energy. As long as others can live in peace with us, we will not take the initiative to have malicious intentions. ”
"And if you kick us out, we won't have a place to live, unless we move thousands of kilometers as you say, and even if we make it to the kind of place you said alive, we still have to adapt to the environment, don't we, and what if we have a conflict with the Terrans? You can't just think about you Terrans. ”
"Also, if we're gone, who will guard this place? What if the next race to appear here grows and wants to enslave the human race? It's hard for anyone to say, is it? Compared to the unpredictable future, our indisputable race is the best guardian here. ”
Noldor explained the significance of the elves' stay in terms of their own values, the position of humans, and unknown variables. Hearing this, Hongjun's face did not change, and he turned to Noldor and said, "In this way, you will gather all your clansmen later, and I will see them with my own eyes later, and I will give you a result when the time comes, now let me think about it again." ”
After speaking, he took the three Taishang and the humanoid Xuanwu to the outside of the woods under the protection of the branches of the World Tree, and several people came to the top of the highest mountain in the distance, the steep top of the mountain was covered with a few inches of snow, and in the distance were rolling mountains, all of which were covered in silver. Hongjun turned to look further north, where was the frozen ocean, and there seemed to be some glaciers scattered in the distance, at this time, everyone stood respectfully behind Hongjun, there was only the howling sound of the cold wind whistling in the air, Hongjun was stunned for a while, and said, "Xuanwu, what do you think of these elves." ”
"Lord, the elven queen's words just now are quite pertinent, although they have a long lifespan, they don't seem to care about the outside world, they usually play all kinds of frolicking, but they have never seen two elves fighting. And they also take good care of the weak animals here, if the wild beasts roaming outside break in, they are also expelled mainly, and rarely really kill them. Xuanwu replied respectfully.
Hongjun was noncommittal, and after a while, he asked, "How did your body become so big?"
Xuanwu turned his head slightly and thought about it, and said, "Lord, the subordinates were originally only a dozen centimeters in size, since they came here, I don't know how many years have passed, and they have begun to have real thoughts, to be exact, human thoughts, at that time, subordinates seem to be a kind of spiritual body" Xuanwu's words were very slow, as if he was looking for suitable words. "That kind of mental state allows me to see clearly, no, not to see, but to feel the things around me."
Hongjun felt that this way of looking at things was somewhat similar to the World Tree.
"At that time, the World Tree seemed to be transmitting news all the time, and many years after that, I learned that the World Tree was not really the main body, but just a branch. And this branch is constantly reporting on a large area around me, which is far beyond the limits of my perception. From the messages that were transmitted, I knew about the World Tree and the existence of the Lord, but the distance was too far away to see the Lord in person, but this did not prevent my subordinates from respecting the Lord. ”
"Just today, I perceived four terrifying existences, and the branches of this world tree exude a very friendly atmosphere, I deduce from this, it should be the Lord himself, but my consciousness can only communicate with them in the dreams of those elves, if you want to say a few words to a few people, I am afraid that I need a subordinate body."
"So I tried to control this body that I hadn't used for many years again, but I found that after these tens of millions of years of cultivation, this body had become extremely large, and it couldn't be driven for a while, and it took a lot of effort before I slowly became familiar with it. However, he was unable to meet the arrival of the Lord at the first time, neglected the Lord, and asked the Lord to punish him. ”
The corners of Hongjun's mouth turned up slightly, and now he didn't react much to these flattering words, except for the few people he summoned with his own hands and those close to him who really cared about and cared about him, the purpose of others was nothing more than to ask for himself, and what he wanted was nothing more than the right to survive and powerful power. The creatures of the whole world are gradually transformed from the chaotic qi of Hongjun, and the more chaotic qi an individual has, the more powerful it will be, and it is also based on the above reasons that his own existence is the zenith star of this world, and no one can surpass his own existence, and for these species that rely on the energy transformed by their own chaotic qi to make a living, it can even be said that life and death are not a problem. They revere themselves because of their great abilities and the tools and knowledge that can bring them many benefits. And Xuanwu's compliment is also out of his own strength and his desire to survive.
Xuanwu's heart is also up and down at the moment, after all, he is secretly absorbing energy here without permission, and after so many years, he has also obtained a lot of information transmitted by the World Tree, and naturally knows that Hongjun's strength is like mountains and stones compared to him, and the man in front of him can make a decision about the future and fate of nearly a thousand people of the elf race, so why not for himself? His own existence is far beyond the vast majority of species in this world, and I don't know if Hongjun allows himself to exist at this level of power. The low profile and hidden compliments are also to give themselves a chance to survive, and even the human form that he has transformed has a face that looks loyal and honest, and the purpose is to add a trace of possibility to his chances of survival. And judging from the current situation, the man in front of him is not the type with a heavy heart, and Xuanwu hopes to win more strength on the premise of survival. Then standing in the camp of Hongjun and working for it is the best way.
But Xuanwu underestimated Hongjun's realm, Hongjun is not resistant to their existence beyond ordinary people, just like the giant bird he met before, now Hongjun can treat all creatures in this world equally, as long as they don't do evil, they won't threaten the development of human beings. Hongjun is then left to live and move freely. At least the high-energy existences that Hongjun has encountered so far and reported to the World Tree have not touched Hongjun's bottom line.
Although Hongjun can treat all living beings equally, there is no absolute equality in the time of various races, and their efficiency and way of absorbing energy are different, and there will naturally be a gap in the strength of the strength. Although there are powerful races and more powerful individuals, these numbers are not many, just like this elven race, which has several times more powerful strength than humans, but the number is completely incomparable with humans, and the existence of Xuanwu is very rare, basically appearing alone. Although the strength of human beings is weak, the large number of human beings fills the lack of individual ability. With the blessing of the powerful reproductive ability of human beings, after developing to a certain number and producing various technologies, it is unknown whether these seemingly powerful races and individuals will exist at that time. On this level, the world is also fair.
