"The younger generation has always believed that there is no love without a reason in the world, and there will be no hate without a reason. The younger generation asks himself about his life, he is still cautious in his words and deeds, although he has no great merit in the world, but he has no great fault, and he rarely has a grudge against others, and today he met the Great Elder for the first time, but why did he attract the Great Elder You to be so ......"

Nangong pondered his words for a moment before continuing: "...... Hatred must be put to death for the younger generation? Is it really because of the guilt of the Great Elder? I'm afraid it may not be? With the long life span of the Great Elder of 1,800, what rare treasures have I never seen? Although the body of the younger generation is a bit special, I am afraid that it may not be able to enter the eyes of the Great Elder, so ...... What the younger generation wants to ask is, why? Even if they die, the younger generation wants to die clearly, and they hope that the great elder will be perfected. ”

Why?

Why would you want to do this?

Why, in your capacity, are you willing to risk the condemnation of the world to take my body?

Since you know that the younger generation is from the green dragon, and you know that the younger generation is the descendant of the green dragon, then...... The younger generation wants to ask, why do you still do this?

Have you really not thought about the consequences?

Even if you take the body of your junior, so what?

Even if the body of the younger generation is really a body of a god as you say, so what?

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and if this news spreads, can you guarantee that the tomb guards, including you, will really be able to withstand the wrath of the green dragon?

There are so many questions, all contained in the word "why".

Faced with Nangong's question, Nethers finally fell silent. For a long time, it wasn't until Nangong almost thought that time had stopped, that he sighed and finally spoke: "Because...... The old man's time is running out......"

"There's no time to ......" Nangong was a little speechless, thinking that you have lived for 1,800 years, if there is no accident, there will be at least 1,800 years to be fired. Time is simply the cheapest thing in your eyes, how can there be no time?

But knowing that Nethers must have something to do, Nangong didn't say this, just waited quietly.

"Life and death, reincarnation is not endless...... "Nethers said silently.

Hey?

Aren't these the words engraved on the stele outside Nethers' dwelling......?

This sentence made a deep impression on Nangong, and he didn't know why Nethers suddenly mentioned it, but after being slightly stunned, he subconsciously continued: "I will be born." And you're going to die......"

“...... I will live, and you will die!" said Nethers. The black qi covered his face, but it couldn't hide his contemplative eyes, as if he was recalling some kind of past: "You also know this sentence...... But do you know who the old man is saying this to?"

"Imo?" Nangong guessed.

"That's right, it's Imo!" Speaking of Imo, Nethers suddenly had a murderous aura on his body.

But soon, he relented. He glanced at Nangong deeply, and then asked, "Then do you know?" Why did the old man say that, and engraved it on the stone tablet?"

Nangong was silent.

The words engraved on the stone tablet have no more than a few functions, or they are kept as memorials. Either admonish others or use it for self-discipline.

"You're dying anyway, and you have some secrets, so it's okay to tell you......"

At this time, Nethers seemed to be sure that Nangong had no way out. The topic suddenly changed, and he said, "Have you ever heard of a legend that cats have nine lives?"

Nangong was stunned again when he heard this.

Cats have nine lives. He had really heard of this legend, and it could even be said that it was not a legend at all, but a popular saying from the folk.

According to legend, cats have nine lives, and no matter how badly injured, they will recover quickly, and in some places, black cats are regarded as spiritual creatures, as messengers of death.

However, this is also a legend, and there is no real evidence, after being passed down by word of mouth, this phrase is usually used to express the meaning that a person's life is hard and it is difficult to die.

But I don't know what Nethers suddenly mentioned, but what was his intention?

"According to folklore, cats have nine lives, which is of course just nonsense, but the old man is different...... This has to start from 1,800 years. The contemplation in Nethers's eyes turned silent at the moment.

He seemed to be sorting out his thoughts, and after a moment of silence, he slowly spoke, telling a secret from 1,800 years ago.

"Eighteen hundred years ago, Imo, as a high priest, committed adultery with the king's concubine, Ansuna. He was caught red-handed by the king when he was cheating, and the result was ...... Princess Ansuna was killed on the spot, but the High Priest Imo took advantage of the chaos to escape......"

Later, the High Priest Lust Heart Immortal infiltrated the Tower of Hamna and stole Ansuna's body and the treasure of the Dead Bible in a vain attempt to resurrect Ansuna. Outcome...... Hmph, of course he failed, and was executed by the king with the "punishment of insect devouring". Because the punishment is too cruel and hurts the heavens and the peace, there is a curse that has been passed down through ancient generations, as long as the tortured person returns from the underworld again, he will have infinite power and become a monster that destroys the world!"

“...... Later, fearing that the curse would be fulfilled, the king ordered the body of Imo to be suppressed with a Bible of the Dead, so that he could not live forever. And the old man, who was the patron saint of Hamnata at that time and the chief of the guard at that time, deservedly became the executor of the punishment......"

Hearing this, Nangong suddenly secretly screamed in his heart: "It's here!"

The story that Nethers told had also been told by Oba before, but what Oba said was just a legend passed down from mouth to mouth on the island of Edge, and there was not much new meaning.

However, at this moment, the story is here, and it is told by Nethers, and it seems that there is a new turn.

“...... Whether Imo really returned from the underworld as in the curse, the old man doesn't know. Not only did he break through the suppression of the Bible, but he also took control of the Bible's secrets, summoning a black hurricane with his evil power, turning the entire island of Agi into a desert and almost destroying it......"

In this paragraph, Nangong had also heard Kuni mention it, but at that time, the story was forced to be interrupted because Lin Xuanran's body of light and darkness was discovered.

But now, it looks like the next thing is coming.

"Luckily. Just when Imo's ferocity was at its most raging and Aiji Island was about to perish, the Hundred Clans Alliance explored the footprints of the world and finally came to Aiji Island......"

At this, a look of joy appeared in Nethers's eyes. Perhaps because they are now soul bodies of each other, Nangong can clearly feel the shock in his heart.

Obviously, even after 1,800 years, he has not forgotten that scene.

"The Hundred Clans Alliance directly sent a powerful person to fight to the death with Imo...... That battle lasted three days and three nights. The sky cracked, the sun and the moon changed color, and even the space ...... It was also cut apart and formed a rift in another dimension, and Hamnata fell in that battle, and was pulled into a rift in another dimension, and since then it has become the capital of the dead......"

“...... But fortunately, no matter how strong Imo is, he will be defeated in the end. I have to admit it. His power is really powerful! After resurrecting from the dead, his power is completely fused with the Bibles of the Dead, and no power can restrain him except for the Golden Sutra of the Sun, which is countered by him. Even the Great Mighty of the Hundred Clans Alliance, the Great Venerable of the Eighth Order, could only defeat it, but not kill ......"

And so. After much thought, the Hundred Clans Alliance decided to seal him in the rift of another dimension, along with Hamnata Tower. Eternal captivity. They placed a barrier at the exit of the chasm, and from then on they could only enter and exit, and commanded the king's guards to take a bloody oath that they must guard the place for the rest of their lives...... If the first generation of guards dies, their duties will be inherited by their descendants. As long as Imo doesn't die for a day, the guardian will not stop for a day. If Imo never dies, then he will always guard it until ...... eternity."

Speaking of this, Nethers sighed: "And the so-called tomb keepers are also derived from this......"

"I see...... Nangong suddenly realized, and suddenly his opinion of the tomb guards changed greatly, and he said in awe: "To be able to guard this place for thousands of years, until death, this perseverance and perseverance are really admirable!"

"Hmph......" Nethers sneered suddenly, "Could it be ...... You think this is the glory of the tomb keepers?"

"Isn't it?"

"Stupid, ignorant, ridiculous!" Nessers suddenly became furious, pointing at Nangong and roaring.

"Do you really think that this is the glory of the tomb guards? Do you really think that the tomb guards are very willing to protect an immortal monster to the death? I tell you, ignorant mortals! This is not an honor, but a curse! A curse that cannot be lifted even if it lasts for thousands of years until the sea turns into a mulberry field!"

"This ......" Nangong was scolded speechless, not knowing why he suddenly became angry.

But when he wanted to go deeper, he couldn't help but soak his back in a cold sweat. He remembered a quote from Nethers, who ordered the king's guards to take a blood oath to guard the place for the rest of their lives......

The answer, here's it.

Why an order, not a call?

Why make a blood oath? instead of a promise?

Why is it necessary, and not voluntary?

There are many capable people in the Hundred Ethnic Alliance, why do so many people choose these guards to protect them instead of choosing them? And they want to protect them in a way that is passed from father to son, from son to grandchildren, and so on from generation to generation, and never end?

Because......

It's not so much a guardian as a captivity!

From another point of view, what is the difference between the tomb keepers who have made an oath and the high priest Imo who is imprisoned in Hamnata, the capital of the dead?

This...... It's a curse, a curse that is so vicious that it will bring disaster to all generations!

Nangong pondered and was extremely frightened.

The so-called hateful people must have pity, and he suddenly felt that the Nethers in front of him was really pitiful and pathetic.

You must know that Nassers's current ability is so great in the world that he can't go except for a few well-known absolute forbidden places, but helplessly, he was forced to stay here because of the blood oath of the year, and he kept it...... That's 1,800 years.

Eighteen hundred years......

What is this concept?

The lifetime of a mortal is only a few decades. Even if a cultivator has a longer lifespan than a mortal, it is only three or five hundred years, and those who have a lifespan of more than a thousand...... Unless sanctified!

If there is really reincarnation, 1,800 years is enough for mortals to reincarnate several times.

What's even more terrifying is that mortals will be born, old, sick and die, and cultivators will also have the five decays of heaven and man, but Nethers, as a demigod, can't die even if he wants to......

When Imo was imprisoned for eternity, it meant that he also suffered the same fate.

This kind of terrible. Nangong felt suffocated when he thought about it.

"Since the Great Elder said that the Sun Golden Sutra can restrain Imo, then why don't you find the Sun Golden Sutra and destroy Imo once and for all......?" Why bother with a junior nobody?"

"Hmph, do you think the old man doesn't want to retrieve the Golden Sutra of the Sun?"

Nethers was still angry, and snorted heavily: "When Imo died, the Golden Sutra of the Sun had already been buried by him in the abyss of the Hamna Tower. Later, in a big war, the entire Hamnata was even pulled into a crack in another dimension. Sealed forever...... Hmph, as long as Imo doesn't die, the Golden Sutra of the Sun will never be revealed. ”

"Alas......"

If the Golden Sutra of the Sun does not appear, Imo will not die. But if Imo doesn't die, the Golden Sutra of the Sun will never be published...... Endless loop!

It's an unsolvable loop!

Hearing this answer, Nangong couldn't help but choke at it. And more importantly, the Golden Sutra of the Sun was sealed in the Tower of Hamna, not only for Nethers, but for himself. It's also bad news.

Don't...... Is it destined to be in vain when you come to Aiji Island to look for Hamnata?

"In that case...... So, what does this matter have to do with the Great Elder taking the body of the junior?" sighed and let go of his thoughts. Nangong asked the last and first question in his heart.

"What's the matter? It has a lot to do with it!" Nethers was also in good spirits, and seemed to have met a bright future: "You must know that the old man is a demigod. But at the same time, the prototype of the old man is also a cat......"

"Wait, Great Elder, you mean...... Cats?"

"Exactly. ”

Nangong was a little dumbfounded. He really couldn't defeat this powerful and powerful Great Elder in front of him, who wiped out the powerful enemy in a wave of his hand. and associated with the cats in their impressions.

What he said...... Is it really a cat?

Well, it's really a cat! because he doesn't have to lie......

Don't...... What kind of special breed is the cat he said, not the kind of cat with pointed ears, long beard, and cute all day long when he has nothing to do?

"Hmph...... Ignorance! There are three thousand avenues, and one can become a god! If humans can become gods, can't cats? The gods have fallen, and the meow gods have blood flowing into the world, so what is the wonder?" Nethers sneered.

"Uh...... It seems to make some sense. Nangong was speechless.

The so-called demigods, this term actually comes from the age of the gods, and their origins are many kinds, and they are not set in stone.

Some of them are gods themselves, but after losing their godhead, they do not fall, and then they will be reduced to demigods, and some of them are human beings, even mortals, but by chance, they have received the gift of God, and from then on they can master the power of gods in the flesh, and such people can also become demigods.

Today, tens of thousands of years later, the concept of demigods refers more to the descendants of the gods of the past.

You must know that God is also cultivated by man, and man has birth, old age, sickness and death, and God also has the five decays of heaven and man. Even if they become gods, they will have seven emotions and six desires, they will laugh when they are happy, and cry when they are sad......

Of course, there will also be offspring.

In essence, the so-called gods are just powerful mortals, but because they have understood the laws of heaven and earth, and have since been reborn and transcended into higher beings, they are only "called" gods.

And as the descendants of the gods, because they have the blood of the gods left in their bodies, they are destined to be different as soon as they are born, and they have special divine powers, and such an existence can be regarded as a demigod.

They may not be powerful, but they must be special.

They don't necessarily have demigods in every generation, but in their genealogy, there must be—whether they have been or may appear in the future. In later studies, this phenomenon is referred to as ...... Atavism.

Cough...... It's far away, let's get down to business.

There is no doubt that the Nethers in front of him is obviously a descendant of the meow god, no wonder he is so powerful, it turns out that he is a demigod! No wonder there is always a legend that the black cat is the messenger of death, and it turns out that it is not all groundless.

But Nangong always felt a little weird, as if something was wrong...... (To be continued.) )
