Chapter 525: Once Upon a Time

“...... The immortal body was first realized on horses, and King Tianwu was inspired by this, and on this basis, he figured out how to make people have immortal bodies. Yun Duyan looked at Li Tianzhao's expression, obviously surprised by this, because such a discovery did not show greatness.

"Later, other martial kings will be in charge?"

"At that time, there were more martial kings, and the territory of the martial kings was not large, and they had just cleared up all kinds of murderous things that had endangered the survival of human beings, and the martial kings were still very united, and the discovery of the martial kings of Tianwu was directly shared with many good martial kings, and it was not a great secret method, with the power of the martial king as the foundation, the imitators guessed and pondered, and sooner or later it would become the ability of the martial kings. Yun Duyan leisurely recounted the past, but this information made Li Tianzhao very shocked.

"How many Martial Kings were there at that time?" In fact, Li Tianzhao didn't know the history of the past, and he hadn't heard anyone talk about it anywhere, as if heaven and earth had always been like this, with large and small martial kings being in close proximity, and conflicts of all sizes were continuous.

But what about before that? What was it like in the first place?

"A lot, a lot. The leader of the tribe as small as a few dozen people is a warrior king. Our ancestors were able to quickly exterminate the fierce beasts and develop and grow from the life of Ru Mao drinking blood, relying on the chaotic qi and the power of the Martial King. At that time, there were no stunts or anything like that, only the power to kill the beasts, and the most direct offensive and defensive strength was the fundamental factor in victory or defeat. When Yun Duyan said this, Li Tianzhao couldn't help but guess the situation at that time.

"Those beasts are now extinct?"

"It has long been extinct, and without their extinction, we would not have such a vast place to live. The competition for survival between species is so cruel, and only by giving up the resources of one party can the other party have room to reproduce and grow. Yun Duyan's tone was flat when he said, after all, it was not something that their generation had experienced, and when he reviewed and summarized, he could only sigh in his heart.

But more often than not, the demise of the alien race will not even have a number, just a sentence to summarize the past.

"Tianwu King, are there still fierce beasts in their time?" Li Tianzhao was very interested.

"There are only sporadic left, but they are all big fierce beasts, once the traces are found, it is the martial kings of many tribes who join forces to hunt and kill. Later, it was never found again, and even if there were, it was probably hidden in the uninhabited mountains and forests, or in the deep ocean. At this point, Twilight paused slightly.

Li Tianzhao's tone suddenly became depressed when he heard her, and even a little heavy: "There is no threat of external survival, it has become a war between people, there are more and more people in each tribe, the strong tribe has to expand, and the weak tribe only has the resources to barely survive." Perhaps many of the powerful tribes have not killed as many fierce beasts in the past history as there are weak tribes, and many weak tribes have withered away, and even because they were too active and unlucky to kill the fierce beasts in history, so that the casualties were too heavy, but they may not be the harvesters of the key blow that finally killed the fierce beasts. So the powerful people of the tribe could not sustain themselves, and the harvest after the war was also sorry for their sacrifice. ”

"Just like the soldiers in the war, the ten generals, they are the most desperate and active, but they have the least gains and the highest risks. Li Tianzhao made such an analogy, but I don't think it's exactly.

"If the soldiers are being formed, the ten generals know the specifics under the Martial King system, they can still only live like this, but they will never look down on their lives so much, let alone be blindly loyal to the Martial King to the point that they can sacrifice themselves at any time. Moreover, they will definitely demand change, and if the Martial King wants to maintain his rule, he needs to respond to such requests, whether it is the Great Martial King or the Little Martial King. Yun Duyan said this, but Li Tianzhao already understood what she meant, at that time, there was no current martial king system, and the contradictions accumulated by many factors either broke out internally, or had to be transferred to the outside by the leader.

"Some tribes are dissatisfied with their leaders, but they are difficult to seize power without the power of the warrior king, so they collectively go to other tribes; Tribes with long-term plans actively take them in, and then, when they are short of food, encourage their people to fight, plunder other tribes, slaughter their rebellious warriors, and occupy their lands. Guess what kind of tribe grew later?"

"The last one?" Li Tianzhao speculated.

"At the beginning, it was the most powerful that frequently encouraged people to loot, and it developed very quickly, and the gathered combat power was also particularly bloodthirsty and belligerent, and those with the power of the Martial King also formed the prototype of the Blood Martial Seal, and the consciousness of the Immortal King and the Martial King who were killed by the Blood Martial Seal would be swallowed up or seriously damaged, which was terrifying. But as time passed, the latecomers prevailed in the last type of tribe, because the bloodthirsty and warlike tribes also suffered many casualties, and they only recognized martial arts and bravery, and did not accumulate merits and contributions, regardless of the past and only the present. Today you are a powerful warrior that everyone looks up to, and your family is respected, and tomorrow you die in battle, and your wife and child will be bullied and humiliated at will by the soldiers who have seen you unpleasantly and no one will pay attention to it, because strong is the truth, the capable live in it, and the capable enjoy everything, but these cannot be inherited, only the strong who are alive can enjoy it. ”

"I've never thought of it that way. Li Tianzhao was very surprised.

"Originally, it was a thing of the past, how to summarize and look at it, the angle is not the same, and there must be more than one or two key reasons, I am just talking about one. Yun Duyan did not insist on defending the argument, but continued: "In contrast, all battles are from famous tribes, and this is still the case externally, and internally and naturally everything has a basis and a reason. Slowly, the laws and regulations were formed, and everyone followed those who lived, and even if the warriors in the tribe paid for the battle, the family still had the protection within the scope of the rules. There is a coordination between the tribes, not like the plundering tribes, fighting and killing people only for trivial things or competitiveness, and leaving behind the lingering hatred of relatives on both sides. These had a great impact on the size of the tribe at that time, and the gap under the accumulation was great, because dozens of powerful warriors could sweep away many weak tribes. ”

"Is there a difference in external influence?" Li Tianzhao pondered, substituting himself into different tribes, and then substituting people with various personalities who knew him around him, and felt that there were only a few who would join the bloodthirsty tribes in the end.

"Of course. Those who can't be defeated are unwilling to surrender to the enemy who threatens them unless they have to, but whenever they have a choice or a way, they prefer to join friendly tribes that have not endangered them. All the tribes that are famous and fight have a good reputation, and naturally they have won the refuge of many small tribes, and they also have friendly relations with some large-scale tribes that do not interfere with river water. At that time, the tribes that plundered, the tribes that merged amicably, did not fight but only produced, and the tribes that fought led to the famous tribes. The earliest Three Hundred Warrior King era was formed, and there were still many small tribes at that time. ”

"Later, they all died out one after another?" Li Tianzhao pondered the evolution later, and the internal war would eventually tend to be more centralized and unified.

"As you know, there are only thirty-two martial kings in the world now, and there are a lot fewer down-and-out martial kings. After every big war, it is the result of the annexation and elimination of King Xiaowu. How long has it been since the Xuantian Martial King launched the war against the Earth Martial King this time?Look at how much the territory has changed, and think about how many down-and-out Martial Kings and affiliated Martial Kings have been surrendered and eliminated?" Yun Duyan recounted, and said: "At that time, the tribal wars led by the Martial Kings were also stopped, and when the tribes that were annexed and strengthened to plunder the bloodthirsty tribes were all powerful Martial Kings, they were difficult to plunder and were forced to transform. Those who refuse to transform and insist on fighting are all perished. One of them fell when attacking the city, and the attack was still - the Earth Warrior King City at that time. ”

"Is it still today's Earth Martial King?" Li Tianzhao thought it was quite interesting.

"In the tribal era, a powerful warrior king had many successors with the power of a warrior king, called Ziwang. Because there was no Qi Gathering Array at that time, and there was no large amount of Chaotic Qi reserves, so - the Martial King would also die in battle, and the probability was not lower than that of the Immortal King General, theoretically they all had immortal bodies, but in fact, there were not many long-lived people. At that time, the tribe led by the Earth Warrior King had been immersed in production, only fighting defensive wars, and the warriors usually built cities to consolidate defenses, and the combat effectiveness of the tribes that attacked them was considered to be the fifth strongest at that time, and the Earth tribe was ranked outside a hundred. As a result, in that battle, only one gate of the earth city was broken, and the current earth warrior king was also famous in that battle, a person, a sword, guarding the south gate of the earth city, and the enemies killed were piled up in the aisle at the city gate, so he got the name of the sword of the earth. Speaking of this, Li Tianzhao couldn't help but think about the situation at that time, originally he also knew that a person like the Earth Martial King must have had many majestic things in the past.

"Did you have the Earth Sword Technique at that time?"

"It is the prototype of the earth swordsmanship. At the beginning of the intra-tribal war, because they were all fought against people, various moves were formed to fight people, and many of the techniques that seem basic now were able to make the discoverer famous at that time. But a stunt as powerful as the Earth Sword Technique was also born out of thin air at that time, shocking all tribes in the world. After that battle, the Warrior King of the Earth was so famous that he raised his arms and shouted, leading the warriors of the tribe to fight back, and destroyed the tribe that failed to attack them in a battle. ”

Li Tianzhao listened and couldn't help but smile and said: "It's in line with the personality of the Martial King of the Earth, and if you have revenge, you will take revenge." If you are beaten, you must fight back, and you will not stop until you destroy the enemy. ”
