Chapter 123: The so-called Lord

What the eye sees always has to be real. Although he couldn't feel the slightest turbulence of air currents like he had just now, he could see something more intuitive.

For example, two clouds of light more than ten meters away from him.

The most dazzling one is like a sculpture made of condensed flames. It was the silhouette of a human being, and even its height was not much different from that of a normal human woman. The height of the "sculpture" is about 170 centimeters, crimson red, with orange stripes on the outside. There seemed to be lava or something in a red-hot state circulating in the streaks that filled it, making it look glowing and emitting an astonishing amount of heat.

There was a stream of water gushing down from the top of the sculpture, but the water began to boil and vaporize at a height of two or three meters above its head, so that it was shrouded in a misty hot fog within a range of four or five meters around it, and it was impossible to see its true appearance.

The reason why it is said to be like a sculpture is also because it has a base. Its feet are sunk in a trapezoidal bronze pedestal, about two meters high, and there appears to be something like a copper chain extending from the pedestal, locking its calves as well.

It remained motionless, at the mercy of the current. Due to thousands of years of erosion, a small "lake" has also formed near the pedestal, and now the bronze pedestal and the statue on it form a small island in the middle of the lake.

Maybe it's just Lu.

But it's not it that speaks. It's another form floating on the surface of this small lake, next to the crimson sculpture.

It was a humanoid made of light, seemingly far away from itself. But it's very close.

This is undoubtedly Lucifer's doppelganger projection.

If Li Zhen didn't guess wrong, this guy had been looking at himself just now—watching the mist of his incarnation wander and probe in such a half of the space, but he didn't say a word.

The light of the projection vibrated slightly, and the second sentence was spoken: "Everything was expected." Whether it's you, me, or her, we're all of the same kind. There will always be a mutual attraction between the like. In human terms, that means like gathers like. ”

Li Zhen smiled: "I think you misunderstood." I thought maybe this was another plot of yours. So if it's—"

He pointed to the statue, "It's on your side, then I was going to destroy it." But if it's on my side, I'm going to help it out and get you in some trouble. As for the gathering of likes...... I thought we had made it clear last time. ”

The projection floats through the red-hot water near the sculpture. Circle it without hindrance. Then it fell to the ground.

"For example, you think you should belong to your so-called camp." It said in a gentle voice, "The Yellow Emperor and Ying have a very good reputation in human legends. But you should know that such a thing as a legend cannot be regarded as tangible evidence. And this one, and I ......"

"What do you think the two of us play in the legend?"

Li Zhen quite agreed with his words. Like the one standing in front of him.

Legend has it that Lucifer fell into the Abyss of Hell. Become the devil of terror. But even before the fall – it was because God favored Adam that he raised the banner of rebellion. Such a character smacks of cynicism anyway. What's more, it is still a divine being.

However, for now, Li Zhen is concerned...... He felt that this guy was surprisingly gentle.

And that's without taking into account the hundreds of millions of deaths it caused, of course.

This species is friendly to itself. The tone is calm and gentle, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the uncle next door.

Of course, it doesn't ask such a question just because it intends to make small talk. If possible, Li Zhen would prefer to do it directly - there are many guys with honey mouths and swords, and this one is obviously the boss behind the Gate of Truth. It's not what it seems.

There are others who mention that one at the same time. And why does it appear here?

Li Zhen frowned slightly: "What do you want to say?" I know that you and Ying Long are somewhat similar to each other in some way—but there are essential differences between you and me. ”

The projection seems to laugh, and the outline of the head changes to alternating whites and oranges. It said in a very human tone of teasing: "Yes? It is indeed of the same race as me. In fact, our relationship is a little closer than you might think. In other words, you can understand that we are all dragons. ”

"You've missed a lot in the past five years, and I was going to tell you more after the first meeting, so that you know where you and I come from, and why I've been so tolerant of you. It's just a pity that we didn't have a second chance to meet until now. But it's not too late. ”

The projection raised an arm made of light and shadow and pointed at the statue, "It's a lure." She was suppressed by the Yellow Emperor. ”

"And I, Chi You, Ying, were also suppressed by the Yellow Emperor. He uses the thing in your hand. ”

"This is something I know." Li Zhen said coldly, "Tell me something I don't know." ”

The light on the projection body trembled slightly, as if sighing: "What you don't know - the Yellow Emperor is an unreasonable madman." In the last period of its life, it seems to have completely lost its mind. But it is precisely because it is such a madman that its reputation, among human beings, is much better than ours. ”

Li Zhen smiled: "I also know about this." It is probably that the Yellow Emperor wants to coexist with humans, but you think that you are superior. The two sides sat down and couldn't get along, so he simply settled all of you. From the standpoint of the species, you are right, but on the side of the human race, he is worthy of the title of the ancestor of our group. I'm glad he's what you call a 'madman'. So, are there any others? ”

The projection straightened up, as if staring at Li Zhen.

"What you also need to know is that the Yellow Emperor is not the first. It is the successor of one or the other, or even a collection of certain characteristics that are part of the other. It is not a complete being, just as you were not a complete being before. ”

"If you are familiar with the legends about me that have been passed down in human history, perhaps you can now use your brain to know who I am referring to."

"And you should understand why we have always called you 'Lord'."

Li Zhen spread his hands a little impatiently—because of the other party's secretive expression.

The next moment, however, his eyes widened. (To be continued......)
