Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Zodiac

"Dr. Zhao, do you already have an idea?" Hearing the words of the old ancestor, Tao Tao turned his head to look at Zhao Gan. Even the praying mantis and spiders, who were still amazed by the words of the white bones just now, couldn't help but look at him.

"I can't say I know everything, but I paid attention to the legends when I was still in high school."

"Oh? How would you pay attention to such an ethereal thing? Come, tell me what you know. Bai Gu thought that Zhao Gan had just deduced the answer to that question from what she said, but she didn't expect that Zhao Gan had other knowledge about this in his stomach, which aroused everyone's interest.

"Actually, I wanted to learn about this because of one thing."

"I still remember that year, everyone was nervously reviewing for the college entrance examination. On that day, we had a rare PE class, and it was because the English teacher of the day took a leave of absence and went to work. We have the opportunity to relax and relax. ”

"But what people didn't expect was that this physical education class, which could have made us relax, turned into a nightmare for all the students in our class and even the whole school at that time!"

"At that time, I was playing ball with some of the male classmates in my class, when suddenly a scream rang out on the playground. The others looked into the center of the arena because of the scream, and realized that it was coming from a girl sitting on the parallel bars. She was pointing to the roof of the six-story teacher's office building, and everyone followed her hand to the roof. ”

"But what is surprising is that there is a female student standing outside the guardrail on the roof of the office building!"

"She wants to kill herself?" The praying mantis asked, frowning.

"Yes, she's going to kill herself, she's going to kill herself in plain sight!"

"Soon, a lot of people gathered downstairs, and there was only one male teacher who taught our physical education class on the playground, so he decisively called for help first, and then asked a few male students in the class to go and lower all the curtains on the first floor, just in case."

"They were fast, but when they collected enough curtains and ran towards the playground, they still didn't have time to save the girl." Zhao Qian recalled lightly.

"She's dead? Didn't your school have superpowers to protect you at that time? As far as I know, the high school you attended at that time was the best school in the entire Big Dipper at that time! The spider looked up at Zhao Gan.

"Yes, it's just that it happened so suddenly, those security guards didn't have time to come at all, and when they arrived, all they saw was a bloody corpse beyond recognition!"

"I was there, just about ten meters from where she was staying. By the time other teachers and students arrived, the area had been fenced off by security guards. But from the surrounding moving ground, you can still see bright red blood flowing along the terrain, zigzags all the way! ”

"Maybe other people will be panicked, scared, and confused. But the moment she fell from front of me. I know that a life is gone! This is completely contrary to my ideals! ”

"How can life be so fragile?"

"How can life be so small?"

"How can life be so fleeting?"

"Is this the outcome I've been looking for? If not, then what's going on with the blood of this jumping schoolgirl in front of you? If so, then no matter how hard I try to find the answer, I don't think it will come to fruition! ”

"It wasn't until I heard what a friend next to me said that I wondered if there really was such a life, and if so, if so, would I be able to make all life like that in the future. So, will this never happen again? ”

"What did he say?" The spider asked curiously.

Zhao Qian took a deep breath, "He said, may the gods bless her soul and give her eternal life!" ”

"So, you began to study the ethereal theology?" The praying mantis leaned against the door with his double knives in his arms and looked at Zhao Gan.

"Yes, my ideal was to strengthen the physique of human beings, but that girl who jumped off the building let me know that human life is really fragile!"

"But if I find a way to become a god and make all human beings immortal and immortal, then wouldn't I be able to solve a similar situation once and for all?"

"You're crazy! It's simply not possible! Gods, too far away for us! The spider looked at Zhao Gan, who was immersed in his own world, and couldn't help but say.

"Nope! You think the same thing as I did before, that the gods are so far away from us that they don't even exist. However, after I kept collecting information, I found that in ancient times a long time ago, there were indeed records of gods, although they were very vague and short, but they gave me a lot of motivation! ”

"That's just a description of the ignorance of the ancestors in ancient times, if there really is, how did they disappear without a trace? To borrow Grandma's words just now, even the weakest god is estimated to be able to easily destroy the existing human civilization! Although the praying mantis believed her grandmother's words, in her inherent thinking world, what Zhao Qian wanted to pursue could not exist!

"I'll give you a very simple example." Zhao Qian tilted his head and looked at the praying mantis.

"What example?"

"I think, as long as the people in the Big Dipper Star Domain know that our ancestors have passed down one thing."

"Don't be verbose, what the hell is it!" The anxious praying mantis slowly swiped across the door with a sharp knife, and with a "squeak~" sound, Zhao Qian covered his ears and dodged back.

"Zodiac!"

"Zodiac?" Hearing Zhao Gan say this ancient inheritance, even the gluttony watching at the door couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, there are twelve creatures in the zodiac with completely different shapes and personalities, and we can still see eleven of them today, but we can't see the strongest of them."

"You mean, dragon?!" The man in black behind the gluttony couldn't help but speak.

"Not bad! It's the dragon! Zhao Qian gave him a charming smile appreciatively.

"Zhao Gan, the dragon you are talking about is also imagined by the ancestors, it is just a symbolic existence, not a real thing. How can such a thing prove to really exist? Besides, what does this have to do with the gods? Tao Tao closed his eyes and shook his head at Zhao Gan.

"Then may I ask, twelve kinds of life, eleven of which exist alive in our real world, but only the 'dragon' life, you say that this is the ancestors guessed, but why do so many lives exist in our world, but they just guess that this non-existent life is put into the zodiac?"

"This ......"

"And! Since you say that 'dragons' do not exist, then between the ancients of two completely different tribes who have not experienced the period of great destruction, separated by tens of thousands of kilometers of territory, inconvenient transportation, and difficult communication, the life relics and murals they left behind have depictions of the life of 'dragons', and they are extremely similar! Is this just a coincidence? Or did this special life really exist at that time? ”

After listening to Zhao Gan's words, everyone present fell silent. It's no wonder that they don't refute it, it can only show that what Zhao Gan said does have some truth.

"Since there can be magical beings like 'dragons', is there also a god? Or is this another big deception by them to their own descendants?! ”

"At that time, I was completely interested in this knowledge! I almost forgot about the college entrance examination, and if the librarian hadn't found me and woke me up, maybe I would have had to wait until the next exam! "I remember that when the thin old librarian saw my eyes, it was as if he had seen the most incredible thing in the world! Zhao Qian couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic for the scene when he was working in the library.

"But then, when I officially entered the field of biological sciences, I couldn't find even the slightest evidence of the existence of gods!"

"It wasn't until later that I discovered the unique relationship between the genes of different species, and I gave up my plan to find the gods in my life and work."

"After all that, you still haven't told us how you know who the strongest sub-manifester I said is!" After listening to such a long-day argument, Bai Gu couldn't help but turn the question back.

"That's because! I had read about it in our school library a long time ago, and had studied the similarities between the gods depicted by primitive people in the north and the south. As a result, I found out that the most powerful god they depicted had the same appearance, abilities, weapons, and even personality as the powerful sub-manifester that my grandmother said, so I made a bold guess that the guy you are talking about should be the same person as the guy I researched! No, it's the same god! Zhao Qian confidently smiled at Bai Gu who thought he was charming!

"It's very good, you can actually rely on your own research and speculation to confirm my words, it seems that you haven't been in vain all these years!" Bai Gu couldn't help but smile slightly, and tapped the ground with his cane towards Zhao Gan.
