Chapter 177: Light and Dark

If it had been in the past, I would never have had such a thought in my head, and even if it did, I would have laughed it off and never thought too much about it.

Over the years, everything I have heard or seen has long left an impression in my heart, and Chiyou and Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor are incompatible.

Because of this, Bai Jian, who was the chief military officer under Emperor Xuanyuan, could not be the same kind of person as Chi You no matter what.

But now, with the narration of the candle dragon, I have long been unable to confirm how different the stories I know are from the truth that happened back then.

At this moment, I only know that Chiyou and Bai Jian have also gained an extremely long lifespan, and in the relevant records of later generations, the records of both of them are obviously different from the truth of the year.

It is because of this common denominator that this kind of thought has come to my head that would never have occurred before.

"Things in the world are far from being as simple as black and white, there is yin and yang, there is light and there is darkness, even if Chi You is willing to sacrifice his image and hide in the land of Shenzhou to become the secret guardian god of the human race, but there is no doubt that in the bright side, another force is also needed to protect the human race."

Obviously, the candle dragon once again sensed this bizarre thought in my heart, perhaps because he didn't want to see me continue to speculate, so he slowly opened his mouth to answer the doubts in my heart.

"Before that, Emperor Yu suffered from the lack of suitable candidates to fight side by side with Chi You, and after Emperor Yu faded away the demons in his body for Bai Jian, Bai Jian undoubtedly became the best candidate for this bright power."

Before we could reflect the reason, the candle dragon continued to speak, and explained to us the reason why Bai Jian was the so-called best candidate.

"First of all, you already know that Ying Long, Nulu and the others are not Terrans, but experimental subjects from the Land of Xuanyuan, and it is precisely because they are not Terrans that when Xuanyuan completes their tasks, they will return to the Land of Xuanyuan to continue their cultivation, and they will no longer pay special attention to the affairs of the Terrans."

"But Bai Jian is different, Bai Jian is not different from Ying Long, Nulu, Fenghou, Li Mu and others, he is a pure ancient human race, no matter what happens, the first thing in his heart is the safety of the human race, compared with the safety of the human race, other things have become no longer important."

With the candle dragon's explanation, everyone's eyes showed a hint of understanding.

However, the candle dragon did not stop explaining himself, but continued to talk to us.

"The second reason is because Bai Jian and Chi are really not strangers, Chi You was already the leader of the human race before he was bewitched by Rahu's heart demon, and together with Xuanyuan, he was called the hope of the human race, for such an existence, Bai Jian, who is a human race, naturally will not have any curiosity."

"It is precisely because of this curiosity that Bai Jian has been in contact with Chiyou for a long time, Bai Jian is also not very human, and has many unknown ideas in his heart, so the two met very happily, and after a serious conversation for a long time, they exchanged the future development direction of the human race together, and each other has a deep affection and recognition for each other."

"And there is no doubt that since Chi You, as the guardian god of the human race hidden in the dark, it is inevitable that he will not be able to easily show up in the land of Shenzhou, and many things cannot be handled in person, because of this, he must have close communication with the guardian power on the surface."

"In such a situation, the guardian power on the bright side must not be much weaker than Chi You, and it will definitely be impossible to obtain Chi You's approval, but if you choose Bai Jian to be the person of the bright face, because the two have long recognized each other, it must be more tacit than choosing one person to cooperate at random."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nod their heads, and there was almost no doubt in each other's expressions.

But this is not the end of it, the candle dragon only paused for a moment, and then seriously told us the third reason in his mouth.

"As for the last reason, it is actually far less important than the first two, and it can only be regarded as icing on the cake at most, and this reason is the limitation of human lifespan itself."

"Rahu has absorbed the obsession of three thousand chaos demon gods, so strong that the Heavenly Dao can only limit him slightly, and it can't completely stop his actions, for such an existence, the lifespan has already become a number, even if Shenzhou is destroyed, he will never die, but will still live in the chaos world."

"It is precisely because Rahu's lifespan is too long, so his next conspiracy may not appear when, if he chooses an ordinary human as the guardian force of the human race, I am afraid that before Rahu stretches out his poisonous hand, this person will dissipate between heaven and earth because of his own longevity, and he will not be able to play the role of protecting the human race at all."

In the state of everyone's understanding, the candle dragon continued to explain the final reason to us without delay, although he was speaking very fast now, but because of the clarity of his order, no one asked him to slow down his speech.

"But Chi You is different, after getting the Mandate of Ten Thousand Years, although his cultivation is far less powerful than Rahu, but in terms of longevity, Chi You is already much better than Rahu, even if Shenzhou is destroyed, Chi You still has a great possibility to maintain his state like Rahu and survive in chaos."

"And although Bai Jian is far from being as almost eternal as Rahu and Chiyou, but after receiving the blessing of Emperor Yu's creative power, his lifespan is also far beyond ordinary people, and in the absence of major accidents, it is not difficult for Bai Jian to survive for a thousand years."

"Although a thousand years of time cannot be compared with Rahu's almost eternal longevity, this thousand years can at least allow Bai Jian and Chi You to cooperate with each other to better protect the peace of the human race, and this thousand years of time is actually enough for Bai Jian to cultivate his own successor, even if his own longevity is exhausted, there is no need to worry about Shenzhou ending up unguarded."

At this point, the candle dragon slowly relaxed, but the respect for Dayu in his tone did not change at all.

"However, as long as Emperor Yu is willing, then with the creative power he masters, he can even bless the thousand-year-old longevity of any living being in the land of Shenzhou, so I just said that this last reason is not as important as the first two, it is just icing on the cake."

"In this way, Bai Jian is in the light, Chi is especially in the dark, the two complement each other, protect the peace of the human race together, resist the poisonous hand that Rahu may stretch out at any time, so that the human race can have a better future."
