Chapter 4: Secrets of the Continent (I)

"Congratulations, you've got a new lease on life."

When Lin Qiu heard the old man's words, he was a little strange, didn't he want to reincarnate first? Isn't it too early to congratulate you on your new life?

The old man in white obviously also saw Lin Qiu's doubts, so without waiting for Lin Qiu to ask, he flashed to the stone platform where Lin Qiu was standing, only a step away from Lin Qiu, and continued: "Lin Qiu, little friend, but you can't remember the old man at all?" ”

"Huh?"

Lin Qiu was stunned again, what is the situation? I thought to myself: Aren't you the warden of the eighteenth layer of hell? How can I know you when I come down for the first time? Could it be that the last time I was reincarnated was here? That's too miserable, not to mention that there is Meng Po soup, how can I remember it?

Although he was puzzled in his heart, Lin Qiu still raised his head and looked at the old man carefully, just far away, and because of the heat of the surrounding magma, Lin Qiu really didn't see the appearance of the old man clearly, at this moment, Lin Qiu was stunned, and then his face was incredulous, and he pointed at the old man in white and couldn't say a word.

"You...... You, you, you...... Aren't you the one who gave me that black bead? Why did you come down too? Still...... Still an official? ”

The old man was a black line, but then he burst out laughing: "Hahaha, do you finally remember?" However, I am not the Warden of Hell at all, and this is not the Eighteenth Layer of Hell, and you, although it is true that you are dead at the beginning, are now you after I have been resurrected. ”

"Resurrection? Can a person be resurrected after death? Are you a god? ”

Lin Qiu said in surprise.

Today, all this simply subverted Lin Qiu's cognition, causing his brain to be very confused now, is this still the world he is familiar with?

"I can't do a direct resurrection, but don't you remember the black bead I gave you at the beginning." The old man in white continued.

"That black bead that you told me to wear with me, did it save me?"

"Yes, that bead is called the Soul Bead, it is an extremely precious treasure, and the person who wears the Soul Bead, once he dies, his soul will be sucked into the Soul Bead as soon as possible."

Of course, this is only limited to people below the ninth-level elemental envoy, because if you want to reach the ninth-level elemental envoy, you must cultivate the soul, and after cultivating the soul, after the physical body dies unnaturally, the soul still retains consciousness, and even the powerful soul body can condense the physical body again through some means. So their soul beads can't hold it. ”

"And you, just like that, in the first case, after you died, I went to retrieve the Soul Orb and condensed a new body for you, so you were reborn." The old man explained Lin Qiu's doubts in one breath.

"So, you knew I was going to die? In that case, why didn't you tell me in the first place? Why are you only willing to save me, but you can't tell me everything in advance and let me save it in advance? Lin Qiu's eyes were red.

He thought of his wife and his son who had just been 100 days, but Lin Qiu did not lose his temper, because he knew in his heart that it was a great kindness for the old man in white to save him, why should he save his family if he was not a relative? It's just that the doubts in his heart make him have to ask.

Looking at Lin Qiu's painful appearance, the old man in white also sighed lightly, and then said: "I did know your fate at the beginning, but knowing it doesn't mean that it can be changed, you should be very curious about my identity, and very curious why I saved you, you sit down and listen to me talk to you in detail." ”

The old man in white raised his hand and motioned for Lin Qiu to sit down, and then he also sat down in front of Lin Qiu. As if to sort out his thoughts, the old man closed his eyes for a moment before slowly speaking: "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are used as dogs, but after all, people are the spirits of all things, with the evolution of the world, now human beings have become the rulers of the world, and have become an indispensable part of the world, but when the world first opened, everything in the world was still chaotic, and Nuwa Tianshen had a whim, and created human beings according to his own appearance, and human beings have also become the masterpiece of Nuwa Tianshen, gradually showing great potential. ”

"Tens of millions of years ago, human beings ushered in the first disaster, that is the largest disaster since the creation of the world, at that time human beings have not risen, the world is chaotic, mountain spirits and wild monsters are rampant, devils and monsters are rampant, weak human beings can only survive hard, fortunately, the most powerful human beings are reproduction and rapid growth of strength, although human life is relatively short, but because of the number of reasons have been able to survive for a long time, and then human potential exploded, and finally gave birth to some strong people, so far, There is finally a place for human beings in the world. ”

"Until one day, the sky suddenly ten days together, the people of the world are not living, and at the same time some powerful beasts also suddenly appeared, fierce beasts are powerful and ferocious elemental beasts, they began to kill the people, human beings will be extinct, at this time, there is a human strong man came into being, its name is Dayi, Dayi was born with divine power, and by chance got a magic bow, so Dayi opened his bow and arrows, nine arrows were fired together, and the nine suns in the sky were shot in one fell swoop, and the world was able to return to normal."

"How do you know that the nine suns shot by Dayi are actually the children born to the gods Emperor Jun and Xi, Emperor Jun and Xi have ten sons and one daughter, the ten sons take turns as the sun to shine on the world, and one daughter is the moon at night, this is the rule of the divine realm, and it is also the mission assigned by the divine realm to the Jinwu clan. I never thought that on this day, the ten suns played too much, and they came to the sky together, their unintentional thought of causing a huge disaster to the world, as the so-called one day in the sky, one year in the world, and it was too late when Di Jun and Xi found out. ”

"Nine of the ten children died at once, and Di Jun was immediately furious, so he wanted to kill Dayi in the lower realm, but was stopped in time by the god Nuwa."

"Because the divine realm has the rules of the divine realm, once you become a god, you are not allowed to show up to interfere in the affairs of the world, and Dayi shot nine days, it was the fault of the nine days. Emperor Jun and Xi endured it because of the strength of Nuwa's gods and the suppression of gods by the laws of the world, but how could the pain of losing a child be easily subdued? Besides, the divine bow obtained by Da Yi is clearly an artifact of the divine realm, and it is estimated that it has nothing to do with Nuwa, since your Nuwa is towards humans, I will destroy human beings with my own hands. So Di Jun secretly did something and gave many elemental beasts transcendent abilities, such as fire attribute elemental beasts - scourge fights, water attribute elemental beasts - Fu Zhu, Nine Infants, Qi Qi, Feng Feng, wind attribute elemental beasts - Gale, and so on. These powerful elemental beasts endanger humans everywhere, and their abilities are simply unstoppable by humans, although Nuwa knows that it is Di Jun's means, but she can't directly attack, after all, she can't avoid the suppression of the laws of the world, and the direct consequences of the lower realm are also unimaginable. ”

"But what Dijun and even Nuwa didn't expect was that the potential of human beings was so great, after Dayi, human beings continued to have strong people, among which Gonggong and Zhurong were the most famous, the three of them worked together to kill the fierce beasts everywhere, and one by one the powerful fierce beasts began to be eliminated, and the strength of the three of them also improved rapidly in the continuous battle, when all the fierce beasts that endangered one side were eliminated or hidden and did not dare to appear, the strength of the three people also reached the extreme of the world, because the world has been peaceful, and they can be regarded as having completed their mission, and ascended to the divine realm. So far, there are three more gods in the god realm: the god of heaven Dayi, the god of fire Zhurong and the god of water. ”

"Di Jun is obviously very dissatisfied with such a result, he wanted to continue to attack the human race, but because of Nuwa, he finally chose to stop, after all, his methods could not deceive Nuwa, he had already lost this battle, and there was really no need to make trouble again, not to mention that the three of Dayi came to the divine realm to join Nuwa's camp, which greatly increased the strength of Nuwa's side, and Di Jun had to stop. However, later Xi secretly made small moves, but they failed to stop the development of human beings, and then there was a war in the divine realm, so there was no time to pay attention to the human world, so there was no record of the divine realm in the future. ”

"You must be curious where Dayi got the Divine Bow, right? In fact, Di Jun guessed correctly, this divine bow was indeed sent by Nuwa to Dayi, but this was not Nuwa's original intention, in order to protect the growth of human beings, Nuwa left three hopes for the world, saving human beings three times when the human race was about to become extinct, and when the ten days came out, Nuwa also found out that it was too late and failed to stop it at the first time, therefore, the first hope appeared, he gave it to Dayi Divine Bow, which was called a prophet by later generations, and that person was the first generation of prophets, and my identity was the third generation of prophets for thousands of years. ”

Lin Qiu heard it in a fog, these things were just some myths and stories in his previous life, could they all be true? Nuwa created people, Dayi shot the sun is real, and the elemental beasts of Nine Babies and Gale are also real? Lin Qiu felt that he should recognise the world.

"You say you are a prophet of the third generation, but what about the prophet of the second generation?" Lin Qiu couldn't help but ask.

"The birth of the second generation of prophets is very close to that of the first, because it was the most critical moment in the development of mankind, the beginning of the human dynasty."

"Could it be the legendary Dayu who controls the water?" Lin Qiu thought of this legend, because Yu was the first emperor of the Xia Dynasty, and human beings called him Xia Yu, because of his meritorious work in controlling the water, he was given the Zen concession of Emperor Shun, and thus established the first dynasty in human history - Xia.

"Yes, the second generation of prophets was born when Dayu controlled the water, and it was with the help of the second generation of prophets that he got the artifact Dinghai Shen Needle, so that Yu was able to successfully rectify the flood and establish the later Xia Dynasty."

"At that time, the flooding of the Yellow River was not actually a natural disaster, but a fierce beast causing chaos, and this has to mention the means of Xi."

The so-called beloved son is heartfelt, and the pain Xi endured is unimaginable, so he later secretly planted the seeds of destruction of human beings in the blood of many fierce beasts behind the back of Emperor Jun, and every certain period of time, they will appear to create disasters for human beings. Because Dayi and others at that time had already soared, these powerful beasts were invincible for a while, one of the water attribute element beasts named Xiangliu was the initiator of the Yellow River flood, Xiangliu, hydra body, human face, with the ability to control water, thanks to the timely appearance of the second generation of prophets, to help Dayu eradicate it, and at the same time repelled the attack of the fierce beasts, human beings also officially created a dynasty, and later Yu divided the world into Kyushu, and now the element continent is one of the five states. ”

"Kyushu? The Elemental Continent only occupies five states? And what about the other four states? Lin Qiu was interested, some of the stories told by the old man in white had been heard through mythological stories, and some of them were completely unknown? What Lin Qiu didn't know even more was that these were all secrets of the Elemental Continent, and it was impossible for him to know that his strength was less than that of the ninth-level elemental envoy or above.

"The other four states are not occupied by humans, but are occupied by fierce beasts, and because the environment in those places is harsh, it is not suitable for human survival, so humans finally occupy the land of five states, Kyushu is divided into Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yangzhou, Jiaozhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou, Yongzhou, Bingzhou and Youzhou, of which the Dongfeng Empire occupies Yangzhou and Jiaozhou, which is the largest empire of the four empires, and the strength is also the strongest; The South China Sea Empire occupies Jingzhou; The Western Celestial Empire occupies Jizhou; The Northern Han Empire occupies Qingzhou, and the Elemental Guild is in favor of Jizhou among the four empires, because Jizhou is the richest place among the four empires. And the remaining Yongzhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou are all occupied by fierce beasts. ”

"And what about Yizhou?" Lin Qiu asked.

"Yizhou does not belong to the human empire, nor can it be regarded as a fierce beast, the land of Yizhou is full of mountains, and it is cut off from other states by the Qindi Mountains, so there are many elemental beasts living in the area of Yizhou, among which there are both fierce beasts and divine beasts, and even some special human races also live in it, which is the most chaotic and dangerous place in the elemental continent."

"What is the difference between beasts? Is there any difference between them and the elemental beasts of the Elemental Continent? Lin Qiu asked, because in his impression, the so-called Xiangliu and Jiuying were also elemental beasts, why did the prophet say that they were fierce beasts?

"This is exactly what I want to tell you next," the old man in white continued, "The so-called fierce beasts are actually the same as the elemental beasts of our Elemental Continent, but because of the methods of Emperor Jun and Xi, they have the bloodline genes that are naturally hostile to humans, so their existence will inevitably harm human beings and kill living beings, so they are called 'fierce beasts', and correspondingly, there are also powerful elemental beasts born to protect human beings, we call them 'divine beasts', such as Qinglong, Yinglong, Xuanwu, Qilin, etc., It's just that the number of divine beasts is very small, and I will pass on this information to you later. ”

"Next, I will introduce to you the current situation on the mainland and your mission."
