Chapter 90: The Origin of the Divine Grace
"According to the original intention of the nine gods, those orcs were going to die, but the Taishan God Lord was merciful, seeing that they were pure-minded and naΓ―ve and ignorant, they couldn't do it after all, and they couldn't bear to destroy their faith in the Great Emperor."
Bai Shanjun explained: "So, he pretended to be the Emperor and sent an oracle to tell the orcs in the unknowable lands of the four directions, telling them to escape from the world in peace and not leave the barrier at will.
After a thousand years, he will send a hero to dissolve their curse, save them, and lead them out of the secret lands to truly become one of the people of Middle-earth. β
After listening, the boss with the hero's mouth open, got up and left after a while.
"Goodbye!"
Bai Shanjun pouted: "It's okay to go, hand over the divine thoughts of the god lord." Enjoy the benefits but don't pay the price, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world? β
The hero stopped: "That wisp of divine thought can be taken out again?" β
"I can't, but I can kill you, and then use the god-killing knife to turn your divinity into a god, and leave it for the next qualified heir to be used as an introduction."
"Can this be?" The hero glared and turned around, but then smiled coldly: "Can you kill Lao Tzu?" β
Bai Shanjun grinned eight teeth with a little red: "You can die for the villagers in the valley, and you should be able to die for others, such as ...... Beloved girl. β
In the next second, the god-killing knife was pressed against his throat.
The hero had a gloomy face: "I don't care what you are, what kind of responsibility you bear, if Yan Yan hurts a hair, I will kill you!" β
"Don't be so nervous." Bai Shanjun pushed the knife away with his fingers, "She is alive and well, and the reason why I arrested her is also to prevent her from bringing people to destroy this test." β
"Where is she now?"
Bai Shanjun smiled and didn't speak.
The hero gritted his teeth, let out a long sigh, and sat down again.
"Don't worry, she's in my cave, uninjured, and very safe, but I can't guarantee that she hasn't lost a few hairs."
The hero snorted coldly: "Do you know that your style of speaking is very bad?" β
Bai Shanjun shrugged his shoulders and said seriously: "Young man, be patient, you must always understand the desire of a thousand-year-old man to speak freely!" β
The hero's forehead twitched twice: "Then stop talking nonsense, continue to get down to business, why me?" β
"I don't know, you have to ask the god killer this question, it is it that gives you the qualifications to accept this test. By the way, you're the second. β
The hero's eyebrows were raised: "Who was the last one?" Where is he now? β
"Remember when I said I had seen a man nearly a hundred years ago?" Bai Shanjun sold a pass first, and when he saw that the hero's face was not good, he quickly replied: "His name is Xuanyuan Aotian." β
"It turned out to be him."
The hero was taken aback, but then took it for granted, after all, the previous master of the god-killing was this Brother Xuanyuan. This also explains why he was able to suddenly ascend to the unprecedented earthly god realm back then, turning the tide of Middle-earth.
The reason is very simple, it opens the door to divinity.
Unfortunately, he is dead, and there is no one to help him share the burden.
"He can't help you if he's not dead." Seeing the hero's thoughts, Bai Shanjun said, "Because he didn't pass the test, he didn't get the wisp of divine thoughts of the gods, and he didn't even be recognized by the gods." β
"What? You have confused Lao Tzu, isn't it in the order of killing gods and recognizing the Lord and testing? β
"It was supposed to be like this, but he didn't know what method he used to forcibly suppress the god-killing backlash, and he also came here according to the guidance of the god-killing god.
I still haven't figured out what these are, so you can only ask the gods. β
The hero glanced at the knife in his hand: "Does this thing have enough intelligence to communicate?" β
Bai Shanjun shook his head: "I don't know." β
ββ¦β¦β
I don't know how you have the face to be an examiner for the "candidate of God"?
The hero suppressed the depression in his heart and asked, "Why didn't he pass the test?" Didn't he ascend to the earthly gods in the process? β
"He was indeed promoted in the process of testing, and at first I thought that he had obtained the divine mind of the Divine Lord, but then he was so appreciative of the Emperor's actions that he even decided to inherit the Emperor's legacy.
Such an idea could never be approved by the Divine Lord, so the reason for his successful promotion could only be explained by the fact that his talent and qualifications were good enough. β
Hearing this, the hero felt a pang of regret in his heart. It is not only Xuanyuan Aotian's amazing talent, but also his final unfortunate ending.
He didn't think there was anything wrong or evil about this Aotian brother.
After all, Aotian is not the Great Emperor, and there is no need to "rob the sky for another five thousand years", his starting point is simply to save Middle-earth, otherwise he will not end up with the earth gods of the alien beast race.
They are just different in philosophy, and there is no difference between good and evil.
"By the way," Bai Shanjun continued, "he later founded a sect, which seems to be called the Tao. β
The hero suddenly had a dog-like expression: "It won't be...... Divine grace, right?! β
"This is it. It is said that they only believe in the Great Emperor and are committed to the combination of humans and alien beasts, and they were quite powerful at first, but then they were suppressed by the nine great temples, and now they have almost disappeared. β
The hero feels like a dog.
It turns out that the Divine Grace Path did not appear only after the last Great War, but only after the Great War to take advantage of the aftermath of the catastrophe of the people of Middle-earth to develop believers, or to accumulate experimental materials for the combination of humans and alien beasts.
Although this cannot be blamed on Xuanyuan Aotian, who was dead at that time, he, as the founder, cannot escape the blame.
The head of the terrorist organization is his own ancestor, so where can he be reasonable? The wandering bald donkey is not wronged by Lao Tzu's suspicion at all, and returns Lao Tzu's pity and sympathy!
By the way, Master, his old man can't also be a member of the cult, right?!
As soon as the idea came to him, the hero immediately shook his head vigorously.
Although He Qinghuan is very unreliable, he is upright and his actions are worthy of the word "saint", and it is impossible for a cult to produce such a character.
"Let's stop talking about him and get on with business." Taking a deep breath, he asked again, "What's the curse on the orcs?" What should I do next? β
"Huh? Don't you even see such a superficial problem? β
Bai Shanjun's face was full of doubts of "did I choose the wrong person again", "A group that can naturally awaken divinity to a certain extent and has a strong ability to protect itself, has multiplied for thousands of years, but now there are only a few hundred people, don't you feel strange?" β
The hero was stunned for a moment, and then he understood.
"Is the fertility rate too low? Or is the survival rate of the cubs not high? β
"Fertility? Survival rate? Those two words sum it up well! β
Bai Shanjun smiled and nodded, "It should be all of them." However, although it is extremely difficult for female orcs to get pregnant, there are also one or two out of ten, which is not too low, mainly because their cubs have to go through the stage of becoming human when they become adults.
After all, it violates the will of heaven and touches the rules of the origin, so it is very dangerous, and once it fails, there is no possibility of salvation, and it will definitely die. β
