Chapter 198: Inheritance
"Boom!"
The whole ground trembled, and every footstep seemed to be a thunderbolt falling, with endless power. If you want to cause such a big movement, then this footstep must be an incomparably burly giant, so burly that it can almost be optimus, although Xia Yu can become a giant with the growth power of the Pangu totem, but he is far from reaching the level of optimism, and can only become similar to a small mountain.
But what made Xia Yu puzzled was that although this ruin was very magnificent and had a lot of space, it had not reached the point of being in the sky, but it was only hundreds of zhang high, and a giant hundreds of zhang high would never be able to cause such violent movement - every footstep could make the earth crack, and the surrounding stone walls were all falling off in large chunks.
What's even more strange is that this ruin has long since collapsed, and there are piles of rubble everywhere, almost filled with rubble, and it is absolutely impossible to accommodate a single giant, so what is the owner of this voice?
Suddenly, Xia Yu couldn't help but have a trace of fear, although he had already put life and death aside, but this fear is the instinct that naturally arises when people encounter a mysterious powerful force, and it is the innate awe of power in the depths of their hearts.
He held his breath and watched quietly.
"What is this power?" he vaguely felt that this power was the power he was looking for, a power that even mocking the wind could hardly match.
"Boom!"
The footsteps are getting closer and closer, there are more and more cracks on the ground, Xia Yu's body is about to be crushed by the falling gravel, he can only continue to look out from the cracks in the rubble.
Suddenly, his eyes widened, and with a loud "bang", the earth shook, and a figure finally appeared.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Xia Yu would have thought that he was dreaming, because this figure turned out to be just a short old man, not to mention a hundred feet tall, let alone Qingtian, or even less than five feet, which can be described as a short figure, wearing a shabby gray cloth clothes, hunched over, drooping his head, and looking sad.
"Is it really me dreaming? Or am I dazzled?" Xia Yu was a little incredulous.
Suddenly, the old man took a step closer to Xia Yu-
"Boom!"
Countless cracks, centered on the soles of the old man's feet, spread out in all directions, climbed the surrounding stone walls, and continued to the top of the ruins, and countless gravel fell one after another, like hailstones, making a rumbling sound.
"It's true" Xia Yu no longer doubted, and was so surprised that he couldn't speak.
The old man slowly raised his hand, and with a slight move, Xia Yu flew out of the rubble like a cannonball and landed in front of the old man.
"Who are you" The old man's voice was very hoarse and vicissitudes, revealing a breath of ancient desolation, every word, it seems to take a lot of effort, a word is spoken, as if spitting out a thunder, very deafening, the surrounding stone walls, shaking the gravel off for a while.
Xia Yu lay on the ground, looked up at the old man, and only felt a powerful and incomparably powerful pressure coming to his face, like an invisible mountain, pressing on his head, making him breathless.
"Junior Xia Yu" Xia Yu said a few words with difficulty, and he couldn't say it anymore.
The old man seemed to realize his difficulty, his mouth did not open, but a voice sounded directly in Xia Yu's mind, this voice was the voice of the old man.
"Xia Yu?" the old man said, "You are the heir of Kuafu! Well, Kuafu, you were also my old opponent back then, I didn't expect that after so many years in the blink of an eye, his heir would actually stand in front of me! I ask you, why did you wake me up?!"
Xia Yu's heart was turbulent, he didn't expect that this old man turned out to be a figure of the same era as the ancestor of his own clan, so how long did he live? And he still seemed to have something to do with his ancestor, and his tone was not good.
Xia Yu was secretly a little worried, and said respectfully: "It's not me who woke you up, it's a monster, senior." Today, the world has been occupied by monsters, since a few decades ago, Candle Jiuyin raised an army, and the human race has been devastated, until today, there is not much left, and it is almost about to perish"
He saw that the old man was prejudiced against the Kuafu family, so he was afraid of repeating the mistakes of the infighting of the human race, so he directly unified the contradiction with the outside world and led it to the monster, he saw the huge stone gate before, engraved with countless totems, so he secretly guessed that this old man must be the leader of a large tribal alliance in ancient times, leading countless tribes, and should not sit idly by and ignore the current situation of the human race.
However, the old man did not show the same hatred as he wished, but sneered and said: "That's because you are too useless, what kind of thing are demons, the human race that has mastered the power of totems, but it can't beat a group of monsters, it can only be said that it deserves it, this world is like this, the weak eat the strong, you are useless, you deserve to perish!"
When Xia Yu heard this, he was quite surprised, thought about it, and said: "But senior, in this world, there are still your tribes, and the tribes that have been loyal to you, do they all deserve to perish?"
The old man laughed: "Ridiculous, ridiculous, my tribe has long ceased to exist, and this, there is a credit to your ancestor, Kua's father, I can't imagine that his heirs will tell me that my tribe should not perish, haha!"
Xia Yu secretly changed color, he didn't expect that this old man would have such a big festival with his ancestor, he came this time, the original intention was to gain strength, if this old man was still thinking of the old hatred, then not only would he not help him, maybe he would kill him.
But he still refuses to give up, because he is burdened with the lives and deaths of too many people.
"What the hell are you going to do to help me?"
The old man said coldly: "Help you, do you want to get my power to deal with those monsters?" anyway, I have been sleeping for too long, and my time is running out, as long as you agree to my request, I will pass on all my power to you!"
"What requirements?" Xia Yu said happily, "Senior, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"
The old man said: "I want you to break off with the Kuafu clan from now on, join my clan, and become my heir, only by becoming my heir, can you be qualified to inherit my power, how about it?"
When Xia Yu heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned and was silent.
The old man said, "Why, don't you want to?"
Xia Yu said neither humbly nor arrogantly: " Senior, what did you have with my ancestors back then, I don't know, who is right and who is wrong, I don't think you alone have the final say, I do need your strength in order to save the world's human race and revive my tribe, but if I want to betray my tribe for this, it is tantamount to running counter to my original intention, and senior, if I betray my tribe for the sake of power today, then one day, if someone gives me more powerful power, I will also betray you again, do you want to see such a scene๏ผโ
"You really don't want to?" said the old man coldly.
Xia Yu gritted his teeth and said: "What I want to say has already been said, how to decide, it's all in the thoughts of the seniors!"
When the old man heard this, he was not angry, but showed a look of approval, and said: "It is indeed not easy to be able to adhere to your own principles in the face of coercion and temptation, and to do this, you can be regarded as having a bit of backbone, yes, if you don't say a word and promise me directly, then you are a dead man now!"
Xia Yu was very surprised, and at the same time greatly relieved.
The old man said: "The festival of the year, it is true that I am not the only one who has the final say, if you want to say, it should be said that there are rights and wrongs between each other, and in the past so many years, the old people are no longer there, and any grudges do not matter to me, you are not willing to join my clan, this is nothing, you do not have the blood of my clan, even if you join, it is not worthy of the name, but if you want to inherit my power, you still have to promise me a request!"
Xia Yu said: "As long as I don't violate my conscience, I will do my best, even if I work hard, I will not hesitate to do it!"
The old man said slowly: "Desperately, not to, when I insisted on going my own way, for my tribe, brought disaster, after the death of my clan, will be buried under the Buzhou Mountain, only me, built this palace, became a lonely man, sleeping alone, after my death, I hope you, will bury my ashes under the Buzhou Mountain, this, is my request." โ
When Xia Yu heard this, he couldn't help but be moved, and he was moved by the remorse shown by the old man, and said: "Please rest assured, even if I don't ask for this request from my seniors, I will definitely do it! โ
The old man said: "Okay, you agreed, then it's okay"
As he spoke, the old man's voice gradually disappeared, Xia Yu raised his head, and was surprised to find that the old man's body, like sand, was gradually collapsing, and slowly drifted away with a gust of breeze.
"Senior" Xia Yu couldn't help but scream.
The old man's body was only half of his face left, and his sad face showed a smile of relief, and finally, the old man's face turned into ashes and could no longer be seen.
The ashes drifted in the air for a while, and then they all fell to the ground, and suddenly there was a loud bang, and the ground shook, and in the midst of the ashes, something seemed to fall.
When the ashes fell, Xia Yu looked at it, only to see that among the ashes, there was a dark yellow and transparent spar, which was deeply immersed in the ground, and the ground around the spar was full of cracks, extending far away, and there was no end in sight.
