Chapter 141: The Demon King
There is no doubt that no one does not cherish their image.
But this is not the case with Chi You, not only does he not cherish his image, but instead distorts himself into a demon, allowing himself to be cursed by future generations for generations, and countless people compare him with the victorious Emperor Xuanyuan.
For Chiyou, who has made such a great contribution to the human race, such an end is undoubtedly extremely sad.
And thinking about it from another angle, since Chi You can compete with Emperor Xuanyuan for the world, he will definitely not be a person who is willing to be ordinary, in terms of Chi You's character, he will never let himself suffer thousands of years of injustice because of ordinary things.
Because of this, I boldly guessed that the purpose of Chi You doing this may be related to the future of the human race!
It is precisely for the sake of the human race to have a better future, so Chi You does not hesitate to damage his own image and let himself suffer thousands of years of misunderstanding in future generations, and outsiders have no way of knowing the suffering.
"Senior, can you explain it to us in detail?"
Thinking of this, I finally couldn't hold back the doubts in my heart, and asked in a sincere tone towards the candle dragon.
"Although it sounds ridiculous to us when we listen to the whole thing, I don't doubt what my predecessors said, I just want to know at the moment, why did Chi You have such a move, is he alone enough to affect the direction of the future generations of the human race?"
Actually, I'm just curious about the strangeness hidden in this matter, and the last sentence is just a casual remark, and I don't think that Chiyou will have such a big impact on future generations.
But I never expected that after hearing the words in my mouth, the candle dragon nodded without hesitation, and the tone in his mouth seriously admitted my casual guess.
"That's right, that's exactly the case, Chi You is indeed enough to affect the direction of the human race for thousands of years on his own!"
"Even if Xuanyuan and Chiyou are enemies, but Xuanyuan has to admit that as long as it comes to war, then he is inferior to Chiyou in any case, and if Xuanyuan and Chiyou are under the same conditions at the beginning, then the existence that can lead the human race forward in the end will inevitably be Chiyou, not Xuanyuan!"
Perhaps because the things we had been exposed to before were all unexpected, everyone at this time had fallen into numbness, and even after hearing Candle Dragon's answer, we still didn't react much.
But behind our seemingly calm expressions lies the endless doubts in the hearts of each of us.
Why did the candle dragon rate Chiyou's status so highly?
As we all know, the battle of Zhuolu was the victory of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, and in the end, it was Xuanyuan Emperor who led the human race on the right path, even if Chiyou had many contributions to the human race, but after all, he was a defeated, and after defeat, he had no qualifications to continue.
Since the candle dragon is a personal experiencer of the ancient era, he naturally knows this fact better than us, and in this case, why would he give such a high evaluation of a loser, which is even more lofty than Emperor Xuanyuan, who finally won the victory.
In this, what kind of secret is there?
In our silence, the candle dragon slowly spoke, his tone full of the vicissitudes brought by the years.
"I've already asked you how much you know about Chiyou, and now, after what I've just introduced, I'll ask you again, do you think you know enough about Chiyou?"
After hearing the question asked by the candle dragon, everyone shook their heads in unison.
At the beginning, each of us felt that this question was easy to answer, and Chi You was just an enemy on the road to success of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor in our impression, and was finally eliminated by the Yellow Emperor's subordinates, and there was no other impression.
But after what Candle Dragon said just now, we already know in our hearts that what we have learned is not the truth of ancient times, but the result of Chi You's self-damaged image.
Because of this, when the candle dragon asked this question for the second time, we looked at each other, and no one dared to give an answer.
Perhaps knowing that we could not give a satisfactory answer, the candle dragon did not wait for us to speak, but continued to speak after asking.
"As I just said, Chi You's contribution is indelible in the slightest, and the heroic posture he showed in ancient times is not at all like the demonic image that you will recognize in later generations, if not, future generations will not leave the so-called Li people."
"If that accident hadn't happened in the first place, then there would never have been any dispute between Chiyou and Xuanyuan, on the contrary, they should even have a brotherly relationship!"
In a state of confusion for all of us, the candle dragon finally told us the truth about what happened back then.
"You already know that Xuanyuan is the experimental subject of the human race brought to the country of Xuanyuan by Emperor Yu, but looking at the ancient people at that time, the most qualified person was not Xuanyuan, but Chiyou, who was misunderstood by later generations for thousands of years!"
"Although Chiyou and Xuanyuan are not from the same race, but because their talents are far beyond ordinary people, they are heroes and heroes among each other, which can be described as sympathy, and when they were young, they were the most prestigious Terran twin stars in the human race, and everyone agreed that the human race would go to a better future under their leadership."
"Actually, Emperor Yu originally wanted to bring Chiyou back to the country of Xuanyuan as his own experimental subject, but Emperor Yu suddenly thought of the prophecy of the rise of the human race, so he gave up such an idea, he was ready to leave Chiyou as the hope of the prosperity of the human race, so he retreated and chose Xuanyuan, whose talent was only under Chiyou."
As the candle dragon spoke, the expression on his face changed slightly, and the tone in his mouth unconsciously deepened.
"Then you know, after the experiment, Xuanyuan did not covet Xuanyuan's country like a fairyland, he wanted to return to Shenzhou, so Emperor Yu pushed the boat down the river, and taught him how to lead the human race, trying to make Xuanyuan his own backhand through this way."
Speaking of this, the candle dragon's expression was even more complicated, as if what he was going to talk about next was not something that would make people happy.
"Since Xuanyuan can return to Shenzhou, he naturally wants to lead the human race on the right path with his good brother, but when he returned to Shenzhou, he was surprised to find that his best friend before going to Xuanyuan's country, Chiyou, who was known as the twin stars of the human race with him, has now become like a demon king."
