Chapter 7: The Story
Chapter 7 Story
"Now we can have a good talk. Dirk said.
"You're the calmest person I've ever met. The young man sitting across from him said to Dirk.
"Who are you, you shouldn't be the ancestor of the Mason family, why did you find me?" Dirk asked straight to the point.
"I? I may be a heretic to you, something that shouldn't exist in this world. The young man sighed and said.
Dirk heard him say this, frowned and said, "There is nothing in this world that shouldn't exist, who are you?"
"Would you like to hear my story?" the young light and shadow didn't answer Dirk directly.
Dirk nodded, motioning for him to continue.
The young man looked into Dirk's eyes and slowly told his story.
"My name is Cangjie. Thousands of years ago, this continent was not called the Spirit Continent, at that time there were more than a dozen countries on the continent, they fought each other, the war spread to the entire continent, and the ravages and abuse of magic made the whole world disgusted. ”
"Finally, disaster struck, and the world swept away the magical elements of this world like a virus. This catastrophe was called the Magic Tide by the people of the time. ”
"That year, there was no magic in the air, and the mages who were once the pride of the world were reduced to waste. Many of the archmages were humiliated or even killed by the civilians they had previously treated as mustards, perhaps they didn't expect that they would end up like this, almost as if they were gods. ”
"And after that?" Dirk asked curiously. He was already captivated by the stories, histories he had never heard before.
Cangjie continued: "It's like a tide, it rises and falls, it rises and falls. As thoroughly as the ebb tide is, the waves that come back are as fierce as they come. The magic tide swept away the magic of this world, and it brought back a new world. ”
"It wasn't until the third year that the tide of magic receded, and the magical element returned to this world. At that time, the people of this world were ecstatic. They celebrated and cheered, and the familiar and powerful power returned. But soon, everyone's euphoria turned into even greater panic, and the originally friendly magical elements became unfamiliar. ”
"At this time, even those mages who are friendly with the magic elements cannot command any magic elements. These magical elements are like inherently repelling these mages, no longer at their mercy, and no longer able to form those brilliant spells. ”
"It was at this time that we appeared, the ancestral souls and the ancestral spirits. We are the product of this world after the tide of magic, and we who are born in this world are like the product of this world's magical conditioning. We are like brothers. ”
"Then why haven't I heard of ancestral souls?" Dirk asked.
"Listen to it and you'll know. Cangjie said.
"The people of the world can only control the magical elements of the world through us. And we've certainly increased the world's perception of magic. This gave rise to two classes, the Spirit Whisperer and the Soul Singer.
"There is a fundamental difference between the two professions of Spirit Whisperer and Soul Singer. The Soul Singer itself is the most powerful and weakest being
, the power lies in the fact that ordinary spirit whisperers can only have three ancestral spirits, while soul songs can have nine!"
"As you know, the strongest ancestor of the Spirit Whisperer is what you call the Four-Pointed Spirit. And the ancestral soul of the soul singer was born with five mangs, which proves our strength. But in the same way, God is fair, and although we are strong, the conditions for becoming strong are also extremely strict. ”
"It is not only necessary to match the personality and ability of the person who recognizes, but also to have a great opportunity. It is almost impossible to get one person's nine souls together. But if he can really create a soul singer with nine souls gathering, then he must be the apex of this world. ”
"The ancestral soul and the ancestral spirit have checked and balanced each other for a hundred years, and the spirit whisperer and the soul singer have also coexisted for nearly a hundred years. Until one day, the ancestral soul disappeared ....... At this point, Cangjie stopped narrating, and his body continued to tremble.
"Ahh
After a while, Cangjie slowly exhaled and said, "Just when our first generation of ancestral souls had just figured out how to make the soul singer stronger, a conspiracy also quietly came. The Whisperers organize a meeting to invite their brothers, Soul Singers. In the middle of the meeting, they bared their fangs at me. ”
"Almost none of the soul singers who participated in the meeting made it out alive, and their ancestral souls returned to the illusory space one after another, waiting for the next person to be recognized, and I was among them. ”
However, the remaining soul singers have also been gradually submerged in the long river of nearly a thousand years, and they have been continuously strangled by the spirit whisperer families, and the soul singers with ancestral souls have died one after another. I don't know when we Ancestral Souls and Soul Singers have been regarded as heretics, cults, and demons!"
Speaking of this, Cangjie's body showed signs of trembling again, the light and shadow on his body kept flickering, and the light and shadow on his body were also distorting, and even when he finally said the word demon, his body had already begun to show signs of collapse.
"Calm down, it's over. Dirk comforted Cangjie and motioned for him not to be so excited.
A few minutes later. Cangjie took a few deep breaths and calmed down. He continued, "When we were killed a few times, we realized that the biggest difference between the ancestral soul and the ancestral spirit is that we will die, which is the so-called broken ancestral soul. ”
"We can be reborn up to nine times, and the number nine is the largest number for an ancestral soul. If within nine times our approvers can't break through to the ninth order and can't supply us with the power of this world's origin, then we will perish. ”
"I have seen countless compatriots and relatives disappear in front of me. There are very few ancestral souls left in this world now, and I am one of them.
"Then what do you want to do. Dirk asked.
"I feel a sense of intimacy in you. I have been reincarnated eight times, and I have been killed eight times by these Spirit Whisperers. This is my last chance, and after this, I will be gone.
"So...... You chose me, didn't you?" Dirk asked.
Cangjie raised his head, looked at the sky exposed in the hole in the roof, sighed and said, "No." I'm tired and homesick. ”
A trace of sourness appeared in Dirk's heart, and his eyes gradually moistened, and he said to Cangjie, "I ask you to be my ancestral soul!"
"Why?" asked Cangjie. He just felt the kindness of this young man, and came to the young man's side to talk to him. I didn't think that this boy wanted to become a soul singer.
"As you said, I want to be the strongest in the world, so I want to be a soul song!" Dirk said.
"Becoming a soul song is the enemy of the whole world, have you thought clearly, child?" Cangjie asked slowly.
"What about being an enemy of the world? The world has no goodwill towards me in the first place. This is your last choice, and it is also my only chance, since this is the case, bet with me, the bet is my life, to bet on the top of the continent!"
"Hahaha, interesting! Rather than the ancestral soul collapse, it's better to make a bet with your doll. ”
Dirk couldn't wait to draw a large six-pointed star map with his fingers on the ground in the house. After drawing the star map, hurry up to the star map, get down on your knees, and stretch your hands forward. Just like in the Spirit Channeling Temple, he sang: "I, Dirk, am willing to accept the Ancestral Soul Truth and carry the name of the Soul Song with my body!"
"Okay, I, Cangjie, would like to become your first ancestral soul, and I wish you to stand on top of the world!"
As soon as Cangjie finished speaking, the six-pointed star under Dirk's feet shone brightly, and the intense light lit up the entire room, and the dazzling light flashed away but woke up Kritia in her sleep.
Kritia opened her eyes and turned to see a scene that she would never forget, her son on a six-pointed star chart that glowed bright red.
An illusory figure gradually condensed on his body, and this figure was so solid, if it weren't for the milky white light, it would be no different from a real person.
After the human figure appeared, a golden point of light appeared above Dirk's head, and the light point continued to outline, sliding up and down, and in just a few seconds, five golden pentagram stars appeared above Dirk's head.
Golden yellow, five rays, five seeds, and many questions came to Kritia's mind. As far as she knew, the highest recorded gods in history were only four six-pointed stars, and what did her son's five portend?
She didn't make any noise to interrupt her son, because he knew that this was a turning point in his life. No matter what happens, after today, his son will definitely have something to do!
Dirk closed his eyes and slowly stood up, and his height of 1.4 meters suddenly rose to 1.6 meters. The original blonde hair is rendered black little by little from the roots, and the black like black pearls spreads to the tips of the hair.
Slowly opening his eyes, his originally light blue eyes turned black, and his bright eyes were full of determination. And just as Dirk opened his eyes, a kind of soul-like singing suddenly sounded throughout the hut.
This is different from the hymn that is resounded after the success of the Spiritual Temple, which comes from the soul. He didn't need lyrics, because Kritia, who heard this voice, felt that every melody was in harmony with her soul, and every cell of her body was singing the praises of the beauty of practice.
It was the first time she had heard such a melody, and she muttered to herself, "What ...... is this?" ”
"Soul Song. A voice rang out.
Kritia's eyes widened, and she was shocked to find that it was the young man behind Dirk who had answered him. Krithia asked in surprise, "Are you...... Who are you?"
At this time, Dirk and Light and Shadow opened their mouths at the same time and said, "Four-eyed Cangdi, Cangjie!"
