After the introduction of the candle dragon just now, everyone already knew in their hearts that Chi You was not the brutal and bloodthirsty demon in our inherent cognition, but a human ancestor who was truly worthy of the common admiration of everyone in the future.

As if sensing that we had believed his words, the candle dragon spoke again at this time, and succinctly pointed out another direction for us to think about.

"You might as well think about it, if Chiyou is really just such a brutal murderer, then why will the future generations of the human race have the so-called Li people, isn't this a contradiction?"

Hearing this, everyone finally had no doubts, and everyone's face was full of sudden realization.

Because about the origin of the so-called Li people, the people have actually spread it for a long time.

According to legend, when Chiyou and Emperor Xuanyuan started a war, Emperor Xuanyuan formed a tribal alliance to jointly attack the Jiuli tribe led by Chiyou, but at that time, not everyone had a surname, but a tribe with only a few surnames of different clan groups, but if the entire tribal alliance is added together, its surname is naturally more considerable.

The ancients were good at enumerating numbers, often in hundreds of words, so some people called the people in this kind of military alliance "people", and at the same time, those Jiuli people who were defeated and captured in the battle of Zhuolu called people "Li Min", which was used to distinguish them from the previous "people".

This legend also means that the so-called Li Min statement comes from the Jiuli tribe once ruled by Chiyou, that is to say, the people of Li Min that we call on weekdays are the descendants of the Chiyou clan.

Although due to the defeat of the Jiuli people in ancient times, the so-called Li people may not be a positive name at that time, but after a long period of evolution, the so-called Li people have long become a self-title in people's mouths.

It is true that we often regard ourselves as the descendants of Yan and Huang, but at the same time, we cannot deny that in addition to the descendants of Yan and Huang, we are also the Li people of the so-called Li people.

From this point of view, since Chi You is the leader of the Jiuli clan, he is naturally the ancestor of Li Min, since this is the case, then he is indeed a figure that can be compared with Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, if he is regarded as the ancestor of mankind, there is actually nothing wrong with it.

But if all this is true, then the other question we have been thinking about before becomes even more important now.

This question is why there is such a big contrast between the truth of history and our cognition?

If, as we had previously suspected, someone had deliberately erased Chiyou's contribution and demonized him, then who was that person, and what was the point of him doing so?

"Senior, in addition to the fall of the Ancient Heavenly Court, there should have been a lot of important things happening in the ancient era, right?"

Maybe it's because along the way, everyone has been with each other day and night, growing together, and they have already inadvertently had a tacit understanding that belongs to each other, so I just thought of this, and before I could ask, I heard Ling Xuan's serious voice.

"If according to your predecessors, then even if Chi You is defeated, he is also the ancestor of the human race worthy of respect and admiration, if no one deliberately distorts his image, then it is absolutely impossible for us in the future to have such a deep hostility towards such an existence."

"But for an existence like Chiyou who has made great contributions to the human race, who would actually erase all his contributions, and even demonize it excessively, so that future generations will have deep hostility to the name Chiyou for thousands of years?"

Hearing Ling Xuan's question, Candle Dragon's expression changed slightly.

Although he didn't say anything directly, it was not difficult to see from the sad and angry expression on his face that this incident seemed to make him feel great indignation for such an existence.

"In those days, there were only a handful of people who had the ability to do all of this and do such things."

After an eerie silence, the candle dragon finally spoke again, and what he said made us all sluggish once again.

"But I know that you can't guess the truth, so I might as well tell you bluntly, what you guessed in your hearts, the existence that erased all of Chiyou's contributions and maliciously distorted his image, is actually Chiyou himself!"

As the candle dragon's voice fell, everyone was shocked.

All of this was actually done by Chiyou himself?

If this sentence were to come out of another person's mouth, we would laugh it off at best, and we would never believe it as if it were a fantasy.

But now this sentence did come out of the mouth of the candle dragon.

There is no doubt that Candle Dragon is a first-hand witness of all the stories of antiquity, he knows all the truths that have been hidden by history, and no one in the world can compare with him in terms of understanding of that era.

At the same time, when Dayu placed the candle dragon here, he also left his task for the candle dragon, although we do not know the specific content of this task, but it is not difficult to see that this task seems to coincide with our direction of progress.

Therefore, although the gap between our cultivation is like the difference between heaven and earth, at present, we are the existence of the same camp, and there is no need for the candle dragon to hide anything from us, let alone deceive us.

Because of this, the candle dragon clearly knew what happened back then, and at the same time, he had no reason to make up such a story for us, which did not benefit him at all, but could bring disadvantages.

Therefore, no matter how you think about it, what Candle Dragon just said must be true.

That also means that what we just guessed is the existence that single-handedly erased all of Chiyou's contributions and distorted Chiyou's original image for future generations, is Chiyou himself!

So what is Chiyou's purpose in doing this?

Chi You not only did not cherish his image, but seriously distorted his image, so that himself, who should have been admired by everyone like Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, became a demon cursed by countless people in later generations for thousands of years?

Obviously, since Chi You was able to become the leader of Jiuli and made so many great contributions to the human race, he would naturally not be a stupid person, and even ordinary words of praise were far from enough to describe him.

It is no exaggeration to say that words such as gifted and intelligent are not exaggerated to be used on him.

And since Chi You is talented and intelligent, but he has made such a self-destructive move, then there may only be one last possibility.

That is for some purpose, Chi You can only endure the pain and let yourself endure the curse of future generations for thousands of years.

And this purpose may have a great deal to do with the future of the Terrans.
