Chapter 5: Ancient History
In the stone room, a short old man sat on a stone bench. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info his eyes stared at the person lying on the stone bed in front of him, his body trembled slightly, obviously suppressing the excitement in his heart. He had been in this position for three days, and Lee had been lying in front of him for three days. This old man is the old man Qin who took Li Renqian away in front of all the new students of the Cangsoul Academy three days ago. He stayed here without eating or drinking, waiting for Li Renqian to wake up.
Li Renqian finally made some movement, and he slowly opened his eyes and sat up. At first, he was at a loss for the environment in front of him, and then he seemed to remember something, and looked at the old man in front of him vigilantly. After distinguishing for a long time, he recognized this person as Vice Principal Qin who had taken off his cloak. The old man was agitated and seemed to have a lot to say to him, which made him a little uncomfortable.
"You...... Finally woke up!" After brewing for a long time, Qin Lao said, "I finally saw you......"
Li Renqian glanced at him and continued to remain silent. Seeing that he didn't seem to be less wary of himself, Qin Lao sighed and said to himself, "I know you have a lot of questions, why don't I tell you about this world first." β
Li Renqian listened quietly to what he had to say, and before his eyes was a completely unbelievable new world.
In ancient times, there was only God in heaven and earth. These gods drink the essence of heaven and earth, live in chaos, and live a leisurely life. This period is known as the period of the Old Gods.
I don't know how long it took, the heavens and the earth suddenly changed, and they were divided into upper and lower realms. The gods are also divided into two parts along with heaven and earth, living in the heavenly realm and the earthly realm respectively. Those who lived in the celestial realm were called the Protoss, and those who lived in the terrestrial realm were called the Star Clan.
Both the Protoss and the StarClan are like the ancient gods, possessing incomparably strong bodies and boundless divine powers. The history of the Protoss in the Celestial Realm is unknown, and the only sporadic records indicate that millions of years after the division of heaven and earth, a great war occurred in the Celestial Realm, which led to the complete disappearance of the Protoss.
StarClan has lived in the Earth Realm for hundreds of millions of years. Due to the lack of the essence of the heavens, generations of clansmen have gradually become different from the ancient gods, and gradually evolved into three races. They don't interact with each other, and some even fight each other.
The Orcs are a race with very strong physical bodies, but their mental power is almost wiped out. Only a few demonic beasts with ancient bloodlines retain a little spiritual power. This spiritual power is the divine consciousness that has weakened hundreds of millions of years later. The Orcs were very warlike, and there were constant disputes within the clan, and later they split up to form many small tribes.
The clansmen of the elemental race have completely lost their physical support in the evolution, and their spiritual power is far inferior to that of another race, the spirit race. However, due to their good concealment ability, they survived this long battle, although they were weak. What's even more valuable is that although the spiritual power of the people of the Elemental Race is not as good as that of the Spirit Race, their spiritual power is extremely pure, and even very few still retain the original divine consciousness. The Elementals are the most isolated race, and no one knows where they have gone. If it weren't for the occasional artifact legend, people would have thought that they would have perished completely like the Protoss. There is no doubt that the appearance of artifacts is related to divine consciousness, but how it came about is still a mystery. It's just that every time an artifact is born, it will inevitably attract bloody wind and rain in the world.
The spiritual power of the spirit race is very strong, and they have supernatural mana, but their physical body is very weak. The descendants of the spirits are divided into humans and spirits. Humans retain only fragile bodies and very little mental power. They no longer have mana, and that little bit of spiritual power can only be used for their own thinking. The Wizard retains great mana. However, since the spiritual power seems to be related to the essence of the sky, the group of Dharma Spirits is becoming less and less, and more and more descendants of the Dharma Spirits have become human beings. Due to the physical weakness of humans and the Dharma, they had to hide themselves. 100 million years ago, the high-ranking members of the Spirit Race carved out a space between heaven and earth, allowing humans and rare Dharma spirits to live freely in it. The entrance to this space is guarded by the most powerful mage in the clan. For hundreds of millions of years, many orcs tried to break through this entrance, but they were all repelled by the magicals.
The place where Li Renqian lived was the small space divided by the Spirit Clan. In order to protect the weak human race, the Spirit Clan has made a mutual agreement to conceal the existence of the Dharma. The Spirits are only produced in bloodline families and are gathered together to maintain order in this world as their mission.
After listening to Qin Lao's story, Li Renqian shook his head. He was completely incredulous, and only felt like he was listening to a myth. The world he has lived in for eighteen years is only a small part of the whole world, and there are still various races, this is too outrageous! If there is one thing that can make him feel a little real, it is those strange Dharma spirits. What happened to them is completely contrary to the laws of this world. He felt that he was one head and two big, and his curiosity seemed to poke a hornet's nest.
"I know you must be in disbelief. Qin Lao smiled bitterly and said, "I haven't introduced it yet, my name is Qin Yunli, and I am the vice principal of this Cang Soul Academy." I'm sure you've already guessed that the teachers and students in this Soul Academy are all Dharma Spirits. β
Li Renqian looked at him and sighed, still digesting everything he had heard. But the eyes in Qin Yunli in front of him were extremely honest, which made him suddenly lose the determination to question.
"You've been lying here for three days, and the headquarters of the Soul Academy where you are now is not the human world. β
Li Renqian was startled when he heard this, jumped up from the bed with a thud, and jumped out of the stone room in two or three steps.
At first glance, the world outside the stone is similar to the world he used to live in, but on closer inspection, it is different. In front of me is a path paved with stones, and both sides are covered with all kinds of strange flowers and plants, which are colorful and beautiful. But these flowers and plants are as high as the sky, and the short ones are like lichens that grow close to the ground. There are petals as thin as cicada wings, and there are fleshy leaves as thick as walls. What is even more bizarre is that there is a colorful smoke-like object flowing in the air, which flickers from time to time, like a living thing. There is no sun in the sky, but you can see lightning-like beings of light floating in it, and the light on the earth is produced by these light bodies.
Li Renqian was stunned. He pinched himself and realized that he was not dreaming. He swallowed in anguish, it seemed that this legend would not be accepted. After a long time, he squeezed out a sentence: "I am also a Dharma Spirit?!"
"Nope. β
Hearing this answer, Li Renqian really wanted to rush up and hammer him. My ability to bear is about to reach the limit. After a series of twists and turns in the admission encounter, he inexplicably became a suspicious person and was almost killed. Now I was forced to listen to this incredible worldview, to this world full of enemies, and finally to be told that I was still the most ordinary weakling!
Qin Yunli was a little cramped, and after pacing for a long time, he spoke: "You have to be mentally prepared for this next." It's even more difficult for you to accept than the previous story. β
"Say, what could hit me more now. Li Renqian said dejectedly.
"You're not a Wizard, you're the only StarClan member in this world. β
β...... What do you say?!"
"You're a StarClan, that is...... The ancestor of the current spirits, beasts, and elementals. β
Li Renqian couldn't help laughing: "Old man, your joke is a bit outrageous. You see, I'm only eighteen years old, not a few hundred...... No, do you think I look like an old goblin for hundreds of millions of years? If you really want to talk about ancestors, I think you are more like me than I am, right?"
Qin Yunli ignored Li Renqian's ridicule and said solemnly, "It won't be wrong." I know you're having a hard time taking it. You said the same thing to me three million years ago. β
Li Renqian returned to the side of the bed and lay down, pillowing his head with his hands, and listened to Qin Yunli continue with a look of indifference:
"Hundreds of millions of years ago, when the elders of the Star Clan saw the division and strife among the clan, they expected that the future of this world must be turbulent. At that time, the patriarch of the Star Clan was you, that is, the Celestial Puppet Star at that time. It took him a million years to separate a part of his consciousness and wander the heavens and the earth, leaving them to reincarnate every three million years into a fetus that died before it was born. And this baby was born with the purest blood of God. β
"The spiritual power of this world is gradually decreasing, and it will soon die out. The entrance to our space will soon be unable to withstand the invasion of other races. We need to find a way to recharge our mental power, and you have this mission on your shoulders. If you can't find a way to replenish your spiritual power, just like you were three million years ago, you can still leave the bloodline of God in the world. Your children will carry this bloodline with them until they are exhausted. β
Li Renqian listened in a daze, as if smiling rather than laughing. Although he didn't believe it in his heart, when he heard Qin Yunli say that "the fetus that died before birth", he was still shocked, and a faint sadness arose.
"Originally, every time you were reincarnated, you were born among the Dharma Spirits. But for some reason, this time we can't sense the information that you will be born among any of the Spirits. Five years ago, my brother finally found you, who had been reincarnated as a human being, and brought you here. Qin Yunli's voice suddenly choked up, "But he never came back." β
Li Renqian suddenly remembered the person who came to his door five years ago. At that time, it seemed that there was some force holding him back, and the only word left was to let himself come to the Eastern Star Academy, and then he disappeared. This person should be the brother Qin Yunli said. "Since he didn't come back, how do you know it's me? Why don't the others know?" Li Renqian finally calmed the sadness in his heart and expressed the doubt in his heart.
"Hehe" Qin Yunli smiled and said, "The patriarch of our family has shouldered the responsibility of guarding the Heavenly Puppet Star for generations, and as long as the Heavenly Puppet Star is born, the patriarch will feel it. The original patriarch was my brother Qin Yunqi, and now it has been passed on to me. In other words, you and I have a special blood mark. And the existence of the Celestial Golem Star is a secret of our family, and other Dharma Spirits do not know about it. β
Qin Yunli smiled ambiguously at Li Renqian, and Li Renqian felt a chill hit him. Before he could react, Qin Yunli suddenly closed his eyes, and his body became ethereal, turning into a puff of smoke within a few seconds. The smoke flowed rapidly, instantly pouring into the back of Li Renqian's right hand.
Li Renqian was so frightened that he hurriedly covered his hands and shouted, "You...... What are you doing!"
A voice suddenly appeared from within himself: "Don't be nervous, look at your right hand, this is the Star Clan mark of your Celestial Golem." My essence is actually a clone of your Starclan sigil. β
Li Renqian hurriedly looked at his right hand. Sure enough, I found an unfamiliar mark looming on the back of my hand.
ββIt seems that he has to accept everything Qin Yunli said.
"Hey, even so, you can't just get into my body!" Li Renqian felt sick at the thought of a bad old man in his body.
"Okay, then you can tell me now, what's your name, right?" Qin Yunli slowly appeared in front of his eyes again.
"Lee In-him. β
