Chapter 403: Pessimistic Prophecy

Phantom beasts are the existence of all archaeologists in the mainland who have only reached a preliminary consensus in recent years, and because they can't find any evidence that can strongly prove their existence, the explanation of phantom beasts has never been compiled into the textbooks of the Imperial Capital Academy.

Now that he had mentioned it, Leng Zhuo had told him everything he knew about phantom beasts. Whether it's right or wrong, at least let the students learn a little more.

"Phantom beasts are very magical creatures. Old Man Leng pondered for a moment, as if he was organizing language, "Actually, whether phantom beasts are considered creatures or not is still a lot of debate in the archaeological community. ”

As he spoke, Old Man Leng stretched out his big hand like a withered tree, touched the delicate white hair of the ball, felt the temperature that only life can exude, and then said softly: "The students must have heard the elders in the family say that more than six hundred years ago, the ancestors of our human race defeated the gods and demons, and only then did they become the lord of all things in the Sameen Continent. According to the ancient documents found by archaeologists from 600 years ago, there were no summoners for the human race at that time, and similar ones were just animal tamers who were difficult to get into the hall of elegance. ”

However, after the end of the war between gods and demons, magic and fighting spirit gradually disappeared, and with it came the sudden rise of summoners. All scholars have tried to figure out why, but to this day no one has been able to give a reasonable explanation. However, on this promising research path, we have discovered a fact that is definitely not a coincidence: contrary to the human race, the gods and demons have never had magic and fighting spirit, and they are all summoners!"

Hearing this, Su Ze suddenly recalled the various visions he had seen on the Dragon Island of the Bone Evil Dragon—those strange insects and hideous beasts that would appear on the battlefield from time to time were the demons of the gods and demons?

At this time, the scholar in the front row of Su Ze raised his hand and asked, "Teacher Leng, do the gods and demons also command the battle between the demon beasts and the demon beasts like us?"

"Nope. Old Man Leng shook his head and explained: "According to the information we have learned, demonic beasts and demon beasts should have existed for eternity, but more than six hundred years ago, their number was very small, even if they were all under the command of the gods and demons, I am afraid it would not be enough to cause a heavy blow to our human race." Therefore, if they want to dominate the Sameen Continent, they need a powerful and inexhaustible demon, which is the Phantom Beast. ”

Academic research or something, Fan Qian liked it the most, he couldn't wait to raise his hand and ask: "Teacher Leng, six hundred years ago, most of the gods and demons kept phantom beasts in captivity, but six hundred years later, we can't even find a phantom beast, are those phantom beasts born by the gods and demons themselves?"

Hearing Fan Qian's hypothesis of "gods and demons giving birth to beasts", the classmates laughed disdainfully, but they heard Leng Zhuo say coldly: "Congratulations on your right answer." ”

Without waiting for the students who were laughing at Fan Qian to put away the smiles on their faces, Old Man Leng continued: "As I said just now, everything about phantom beasts is still debated in the archaeological community. However, as for how the phantom beast appeared, the archaeological community has already given a mainstream statement, that is, the gods and demons can blend their imagination and soul power into eggs, and hatch them into phantom beasts that completely echo their own hearts......"

Hearing this, Su Ze suddenly felt a buzz in his ears, and he could no longer hear Leng Zhuo's follow-up statement! Think about the ball that turned into an owl because he wanted a pair of wings, the ball that turned into a white tyrannosaurus because he wanted a huge body and sharp claws and fangs, and then think about the ball that inexplicably evolved into an armored tyrannosaurus because of his own crankiness...... A demon born according to his imagination that is completely in line with his own heart.,Is Qiuqiu really a phantom beast?

"Teacher Leng!" In a hurry, Su Ze had to interrupt Leng Zhuo's tirade and asked uneasily: "You just said that we can't find any evidence of the existence of phantom beasts, right? Could it be that Qiuqiu is a phantom beast created by gods and demons six hundred years ago...... No, what I want to ask is, isn't there a way for the Terrans to create their own phantom beasts?"

"What, do you want to say that this little guy is a phantom beast that you created by accident?" Old Man Leng asked rhetorically, and then carefully thought about the possibility of this situation, and finally gave an ambiguous answer: "Perceiving soul power and manipulating soul power has always been the weakness of our human beings. But it is undeniable that in the past six hundred years, our ability to perceive and manipulate soul power has indeed been constantly improving, as for whether it is possible to catch up with and surpass the gods and demons in the future, the old man feels that it is not completely impossible. We have soul power, and imagination, the human race is no worse than the gods and demons. One day in the future, we may actually be able to create our own phantom beasts, but to say that Qiuqiu is a phantom beast created by you, huh...... Is it a phantom beast created by chance without actual combat ability......"

Just when most of the classmates fell into deep thought with Leng Zhuo, the young man in the front row spoke up again: "Teacher Leng is new to here, maybe you don't know the strength of Su Ze, right? Although I haven't seen anything in the world, I really don't think there will be a stronger summoner in the world than Su Ze." Therefore, the student dared to put forward a hypothesis here: If Su Ze is really the most powerful summoner in the world today, then he inadvertently created a phantom beast, does it mean that our human race has finally given birth to the first person to catch up with the gods and demons? In other words, starting from Su Ze, will our human race officially surpass the gods and demons in history?"

If what the Xueba boy said is true, then Su Ze and Qiuqiu will become milestone figures in human history! Being able to become classmates at the same school and level with such a big man, the boys and girls will inevitably be full of pride, and even Bai Tang, who is bent on pushing Su Ze down the abyss, can't help but boil with enthusiasm!

However, for the same thing, from ancient times to the present, people tend to naturally divide into two factions. Unfortunately, Leng Burning happens to be a pessimist.

"Students, be quiet. Old Man Leng stretched out his hand to suppress the high emotions of his classmates, and then said calmly: "If it weren't for the fact that I met so many people and read so many books in the Imperial Capital Academy, I wouldn't have known that the number of demonic beasts and demonic beasts had suddenly skyrocketed in the past six hundred years. Even the one hundred and eight nature spirits we are now familiar with are not mentioned in the literature from 600 years ago. The old man is a professor in the summoning department of the Imperial Capital Academy, so he also thinks about the reasons behind all these changes from time to time. I don't dare to say much, but one thing the old man is sure of, whether it is the skyrocketing number of demonic beasts and demon beasts, or the sudden appearance of elves and heroic spirits, all of this is inseparable from the fall of the gods and demons. ”

"Wake up, young summoners!" Old Man Leng ordered the lantern jellyfish to float back to the podium, "If the appearance of the phantom beast heralds the resurrection of the gods and demons, can you defeat them again and protect our homeland like the ancestors of the human race?"
