Chapter 1 - The New World
"Sacrifice, sacrifice...... Wake up...... Wake up, wake up......" A familiar voice sounded in the ears of the priest.
"Grandpa!! It's grandpa's voice!! Grandpa!!" The priest rubbed his eyes, shouted in his mouth, and sat up directly with his body that was lying down. The harsh sunlight shone straight into his eyes. He wanted to use his hands to block the sun but found that his hands became so heavy, he rubbed his eyes with his arms, and his originally vague vision became clear, and the first thing that caught his eye was a boy about the same age as him, but the other party's figure was thinner and shorter than himself, and the sacrifice just wanted to ask something, but he was directly covered by the other party's mouth, and the sacrifice could feel that the other party had a bad smell on his hands, and within a few seconds, the sacrifice coughed directly.
The boy glanced at the priest and asked him not to speak, and then said softly, "My name is Aru, don't talk too loudly, otherwise there will be trouble." The priest nodded and asked, "Where is this? What about my grandfather? Where's my father?", the priest found himself sitting in a carriage, and there were several children about his age in the carriage, Aru looked at him, "Grandpa, father, you were the only one when the group brought you, you are not from here, you are from other countries, right?"
Born in the mountains and villages since he was a child, not to mention the country, in his memory, except that the village chief is an official who comes to collect taxes every year, in his little head, the word "country" is also the first time he has heard of it. The priest slowly recalled a trace of his memory before he fell unconscious, and he looked around, anxiously looking for something. When Aru saw it, he hurriedly said, "Don't look around, there are only slaves here, except for soldiers, and there are children like us, as for whether we will become soldiers or slaves in the future, or become the creator of the country, it depends on fate." If you can become a creator, then your fate will be different......" Aru said in reverie, the corners of his mouth inadvertently showing a silly smile. But when the priest heard the Creator, these three words, he was very annoyed. If it weren't for the group of guys who claimed to be the creators, he would still be living with his father, mother, and grandfather, carefree, he could learn swordsmanship from his grandfather every day, and be a man, a hero. It was the creator with that strange power who disturbed his peaceful life and even took the life of his most important grandfather...... At this time, he wanted to kill all the creators, and when he saw Aru's intoxicated face, he glanced at him fiercely and said, "Creators, they all deserve to die." This sentence woke Aru from his sweet dream.
Aru said, "The Creator is the most sacred being in the world, and our lives, including our lives, are made by the Creator. Hearing this, the priest couldn't help but look at him, his eyes were a little dazed, what he thought was that the creators were all bad people, could the creators still create human beings?Aru looked at the priest and looked at himself with a dull face, and said with a little puzzlement, "You don't know this, which country are you?" The priest nodded and said, "The creator, can create people? resurrect people?", Aru nodded proudly. Of course, legend has it that a long, long time ago, this world was originally an ocean, and a creator appeared in the ocean, and then he built the continent from the sediment of the seabed, and turned the creatures from the bottom of the sea into creatures on the road, and we were all created by him......"
The priest hurriedly asked, "Then where is he?" How can I find him, Aru couldn't help but laugh, "Looking for him?" That's just a legend!! do you really believe it...... Although the Creator is omnipotent, I do not believe that this continent and we were created by the Creator...... After all, I know the creator very well, at most it is just to smelt metal and make weapons and armor......" The sacrificial priest's originally shining eyes suddenly dimmed, and at this time, a soldier wearing leather armor walked past them and looked at the two little guys and said, "Little ghost, do you know the creator very well? If it weren't for the king's rule that 10-year-olds must be sent to the academy to study, you wouldn't even be eligible to be a soldier. β
After speaking, he put on a fierce face. Aru hurriedly lowered his head and closed his mouth in fright, the sacrifice is not afraid, in terms of appearance and ferocity, his grandfather is much more powerful than this soldier, the sacrifice looked at this soldier and asked very respectfully, "My lord, I just want to know, the creator, can you really come back to life?" The soldier was stunned for a moment, because ordinary children are very afraid of him, but this child is not only not afraid of himself, but he is very humble to himself and listens to the question of the sacrifice, and it is also when he seems to show off, he pulled up the clothes of his left hand, pointed to his forearm and said, "Of course, the Creator is omnipotent, you see my arm, it was cut off during the battle, but the Creator, directly helped me recover, although it left a scar, but what a divine power." β
The soldier sighed and said, "It's a pity, that creator-sama is only a third-level person, if it is a creator-level adult, let alone connect the arm, even if the whole person only has a head left, I'm afraid it can be recovered." The sacrificer's calm heart suddenly became agitated, but when he wanted to continue to ask, the soldier had already run away...... His eyes became a little disappointed again.
Seeing that the soldier was gone, he began to be active again, he looked at the priest and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, the creator is not so miraculous at all, and at first glance he is a person who can boast." The priest looked at Aru and shook his head, but he didn't say anything, because he knew that the real creator was terrible, even his invincible grandfather, in the end, there was no way to escape the fate of death, everything was harmed by the creator. He touched his broken necklace, a pale golden silk thread shot from his forehead into the pendant of the necklace, directly connected with Chen Han's soul, in the world of souls, Chen Han touched the head of his lovely grandson, but he had no way to talk to his grandson, from his movements and eyes, he was encouraging his grandson, making him strong and making him brave.
Although it was only for a moment, the body of the sacrifice was trembling and sweating all the time, which made Aru slightly scared, in case this person had any disease, it would be terrible to let himself be infected. When the priest came back to his senses, he looked at Aru and asked, "Do you know what it takes to become a creator?", Aru smiled coldly and said, "Could it be that the creator said that he should do it?
The priest retorted with some excitement, "My father told my grandfather that I have the qualifications to be a creator. Aru couldn't help laughing, and the children in the car who didn't speak also laughed when they heard this, and looked at them aggrievedly and said, "Is there something wrong?", Aru hurriedly replied, "Everyone says that they have the qualifications to become a creator, but maybe there is not even one out of 100 people, your grandfather said, your father said, my father said that my father also said that I can be a king, and my grandfather also said that I can be a prime minister??" Hearing this, the priest immediately wanted to show them his glowing left arm, and he said that this was the proof of the Creator.
But he suddenly found that his left arm did not look like his own, not only could not use his strength, but even the normal lifting seemed very reluctant and difficult, as if there was a thousand pounds of weight pressing, when he first woke up, why was it like this now? At the same time, he also found that the bracelet on his arm was missing, and at the same time, his arm no longer glowed, and this arm seemed to be not his own, which made him a little dazed. Without the strongest evidence to prove one's ability, the sacrifice will not be able to behave in any way.
The carriage stopped at this time, and the priest and Aru and the children in the carriage all looked around, and saw three men in white cloaks, standing in front of the group and talking to the head of the soldiers, although they could not hear what they said, but from the look of the soldier commander, it could be judged that the other party was at least in a position of power above him, because of the humility on his face. In this line, there are 3 carriages, all of which are 8~10 years old, and there are about 20 soldiers escorted, who only get on the carriage and sit for a while when they are in rotation, and the rest of the time they are escorted on foot.
That's their rule, because who knows which of these children will become the foundation of this country? A bunch of kids got out of the wagon and stood in a row. The sacrifice is a little higher than that of ordinary children, and from the looks of his face, he does not look like ordinary children of poor families, so the temperament between the eyebrows that is more conspicuous is not something that can be covered by dust and shabby clothes, but he has been standing silently behind with his head down. The soldier commander cleared his throat and said, "Little ghosts, these three are all creators sent by the academy, and they will identify you separately to see which of you has the potential to become a creator, and if you don't have potential, you can join the army and become a soldier." If the Creator finds that you don't even have the qualifications to be a soldier, then the only way awaits you is to become someone else's slave......
As soon as the words fell, the bustling voices penetrated through the children, and almost everyone was talking to each other, some of them were afraid, some were excited, and some were frightened by these words and cried......
The three men, taking off their cloaks, said impatiently, "Let's start now, don't waste our time." Judging from their age, they were only in their 20s, and I saw that there was a green snake like a green pattern on his right arm, and in the gentle wave of his arm, the green snake squirmed on his arm as if it was alive. A group of children were deeply attracted by this magical scene, and even several children who were crying on the side stopped crying to watch this magical scene, and the sacrifice was a wonderful but indescribable feeling......
The two men behind him, one of whom had two white metal circles on his left arm, had no way to compare with the lifelike green snake, and what was even more ridiculous was that the last man had nothing on his hand, but he had a sword at his waist. Other children may not know very well, but the sacrifice does, because I heard Tilt say before that the one who can show light on his arm is the creator, but this man is obviously not, so why is he here?
The soldier grew out and shouted, and the children, who had been attracted by the strange sight, suddenly focused on him again, he looked at the group of little ghosts and said, "These three adults will help each of you identify your own talents, and two of them are the refiner and the object controller. And the other is a teacher at the National Sword Academy. "When introduced, the two creators were extremely arrogant, and only this teacher of the sword academy seemed more modest. From his modesty, one can sense that the country is extremely unequal to the high ground between the Creator and the ordinary people.
The soldier pointed to the fat man in the first row and said, "The little ghost starts with you!", a little child like a meat ball, looked left and right, confirmed that it was himself, and ran up with a jump, feeling like a running meat ball. The green snake examiner took out a dark red stone from his waist and asked the little fat man to concentrate on putting his hands on it......
The green snake examiner smiled slightly, and said, "Congratulations, little fat man" After speaking, he glanced at it like a soldier commander, and the soldier commander also smiled at this time, if there can be a few creators in his hands, his promotion is certain, and he just treated the little fat man like his own ancestors, and invited the little fat man aside. Suddenly, the children's pile was like an explosion of pots, and they all started to discuss...... The soldier commander shouted a few more times at this time to make the children quiet down slightly, the children behind were originally very confident, but after the little fat man, there were 12 children in a row, none of them had the potential of creators, and even the soldiers were only 4 of the 12 children, at this time, the soldier's face was a little ugly, and the 3 examiners also shook their heads from time to time.
The soldier chief changed from the original peace to a little anxious, "It's your turn", he pointed to Aru beside the sacrifice, Aru saw that so many people had failed before, he thought in his heart, at least to be a soldier, the green snake examiner, still let him put his hand on the stone mountain, as Aru expected, the stone did not shine, and then he walked to the man with the armband on his hand, the man put his left hand in front of Aru's eyes, and asked, "Do you see what I have on my hand?"
Aru paused for a moment and said, "An apple!", the armband examiner smiled, and then asked, "Can you tell what color this apple is?", to which Aru replied, "Half green, half red." The armband examiner's smile became subtle, and he directly touched Aru's head and said, "Good boy, your qualifications are good, congratulations, you are a controller." Aru was stunned for a moment, and then shouted...... The sacrifice couldn't help but be happy for him on the side, but at the same time, he was worried about whether he was qualified to be a creator, his mood was the same as Aru's at least to be a swordsman, for being a creator, his heart was more inclined to a swordsman, and the only reason was his grandfather.
However, his heart was still a little excited and apprehensive, the green snake examiner saw that the controller had a person with good qualifications, but there was only a fat man with poor qualifications on his side, his face was a little helpless, and he muttered a little "little guy, come to ......", the sacrifice ran up directly, and after seeing so many children's work, he didn't wait for the green snake examiner to tell him how to do it, and put his hand on it directly. It's just that the stone didn't shine, and the green snake examiner said helplessly, "Why do you only put your right hand, what about your left hand?" The Green Snake examiner looked at the soldier commander and said sternly, "How can you let a disabled child participate in this sacred appraisal ceremony?"
The soldier's face instantly became extremely ugly, and he said, "Lord Creator, this child was picked up by us on the road, and it looks like he is not yet 10 years old, so I brought it with us. He also woke up today, and he was in a coma before, so I didn't know he was disabled at all~~ at all. The armband examiner on the side patted the green snake examiner and said, "Senior brother, it's nothing ......", and was startled when he heard that the green snake examiner was suddenly born and sacrificed, and the armband examiner smiled and said, "Little guy, it's up to me below." β
With a very modest attitude, the priest walked up to him and asked, "Can I?" The armband examiner, as before, asked, "Can you see what I have in my hand?" The armband examiner looked at the sacrifice in front of him and said, "Little guy, it's not good to deceive people." As long as anyone who is born and has a memory knows about this thing, how can you not know it? Be honest. β
As he spoke, he motioned for the next child to come over. The sacrifice was a little embarrassing...... In fact, he can really see it, but he really doesn't know what this thing is, because he is not a person from this world, so he doesn't know about the things in this world, when he saw the apple tested by Aru before, he knew that he could at least be a controller, but when it was his turn, it was not something he knew, so what did he say? β
He threw a wooden sword to the priest and said let's get started. This man's screening is a direct actual battle, through the actual combat to judge whether these children have the value of cultivation, the previous 4 children are all taller, but the sacrifice is like a bean sprout compared to them, although he is a little better than Aru...... At this time, the priest was thinking about how to pass this last exam, and if he really failed, Aru said that he would be limited by this country for the rest of his life, and be the cornerstone of this country.
The priest picked up the wooden sword and stood for about 10 seconds, the examiner, watching him urge him to hurry up, the priest was not standing there stupidly, but he was letting the breath in his body roll and boil in his body. This is what his grandfather once gave him, and this is also the first time he really realizes, in his mind, grandpa once said that only when there is a crisis can he inspire himself to make himself better.
In the originally peaceful life, the priest just followed his grandfather's instructions to do all aspects of learning and practicing...... Although Grandpa has been praising himself for being better than Grandpa, he knows that this is not enough. When the sacrificial priest opened his eyes, he directly turned into a black shadow, and the wooden sword pointed directly at the left inner side of the examiner, which was the heavenly strength in the Xuantian 9 sword, the examiner was suddenly startled, although the body wanted to dodge but was still injured by the wooden sword, and although the wooden sword did not hurt his flesh and skin, but a small breath was drawn on his clothes, which made the two creators who were the same examiner on the side couldn't help laughing, in their eyes, the swordsman was originally lower than himself, and now he was injured by a child, and they now completely regarded this swordsman as a jokeγ At this time, the swordsman examiner's face looked particularly ugly, and he asked, "What tricks do you have in this matter?" You dare to sneak attack me, it seems that I can't teach you a lesson seriously." β
As he spoke, he took out the sword at his waist and glanced at the soldier on the side, who hurriedly handed his sword to the priest, this was the first time the priest touched the real sword, although his family was a blacksmith and occasionally cast swords, but his father and grandfather never let him touch it. This is a real sword, but this sword is used by adults, and it is impossible for him to hold it as a child, but the sacrificial martyr has been strictly trained in strength since he was a child, and if he can use both hands, he may be able to pick it up, but now his left hand has no way to use it, and the swordsman examiner does not care about this, for the swordsman honor is more important than anything else, if he kills a young creator, he is afraid that he will pay with his own life, but he kills a soldier or even a civilian, as long as it is handled properly, there will be no crimeγ
I saw him stab him directly with a sword, since he was a child, his grandfather told the sacrificial priest that he must not let his eyes leave the other party without being sure that his opponent is dead, and the sacrificial priest has already made a dodge action before the tip of the sword arrives in front of the sacrificial corpse, but it looks clumsy, how can the other party say that he is also a swordsman who can act as an examiner, seeing his movements just turn around, the tip of the sword directly cut his left arm. The swordsman examiner smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot that your left hand was broken. "It's a complete mockery.
The sacrificial priest still had the wooden sword in his hand, and before the sacrificial examiner could reflect again, he threw away his hand and directly slashed his wooden sword to the ground. He laughed again, "Little guy, you are a slave in your life, and you still want to be a creator?be a swordsman?Don't be delusional!! a lowly person like you should be a cow and a horse for others~~" The man's words completely angered the sacrifice, how precious his grandson was back then, even if his father didn't care about himself when he was a child, he would definitely not be humiliated by others. Suddenly, his heart became extremely calm~ Grandpa once said that the Xuantian Sword Technique, with the Xuantian Sword, can exert the greatest power, but it does not mean that it cannot be used with other swords, as Chen Han's grandson, he can't let others insult him.
A nameless anger burned in his chest, and suddenly he felt that his left arm became incomparably hot, and a flame instantly spread from the wound on his left hand to the entire arm, the entire arm of the sacrifice was burning like a whole torch, and the left arm that was originally unusable became usable at this time, but his left arm still had some uncontrollable feeling, a faint light, an iron sword appeared in his hand, from the point of view of the sword body, it was not gorgeous, it was just an ordinary iron sword, but in essence, it was the prototype of the sword of the earth, but the sacrifice did not knowγ Seeing this scene, the swordsman was a little stunned, and hurriedly shouted at the two creator examiners on the side who were also attracted by the light of this flame, "Didn't you say that this child is not a creator, why does he have a way to use the power of the creator?"
The two Creator Examiners looked at each other, and the Green Snake Examiner said, "It turns out that his ability is in the abolished left arm. And the armband examiner was even more shocked and said, "Could it be that he is a combination of refining and control? Could it be that he really saw it at the time, and really didn't know what it was? Then the future growth of this child will be terrible." The sacrificial gaze became sharper than sharp, as if a tiger had been watching his prey, the swordsman was shocked by the aura emanating from the sacrificial body, but he knew that the other party was just a child, and he could actually shock himself What a terrifying potential this was. The priest said lightly, "Grandpa said that since the real sword fights, it is a life-and-death duel, and as my opponent, you must die." β
The surrounding soldiers and the three examiners were a little stunned, they didn't believe that this was a child's words, this sentence made the swordsman examiner look a little nervous, he said like a sacrifice, "Since you are looking for death, then how can I let you live." He completely ignored the obstruction of the other two creators and rushed out, and the faces of the two creators looked extremely ugly, "Refining and controlling the integration, that is unique, and this child has not been awakened, he can actually refine things by himself, this qualification is unique." β
Hurriedly reminded the child to dodge, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to go up and block it, but after all, they were just ordinary soldiers, and the swordsman examiner rushed out like an arrow, if it was usual, he might just endure it, but now he can be described as a little crazy, such a blessed creator was killed by him, I am afraid that what awaits him is slavery, but he is completely in a crazy mood.
And the sacrificial priest stood quietly in place, the only action he did was to alternate the sword on his left hand to his right hand, and at the same time, the left hand became a thousand catties like not his own, and the originally somewhat illusory sword became an entity, when everyone felt that it was all over, the whole person of the sacrificial corpse was as soft as a cow's tendon, and the whole person detoured the back of the swordsman examiner in an incomprehensible arc, and stabbed him directly in the back, and suddenly blood flowed out of his back, this scene can be said to have stunned everyone, this sword is the 9th style of the Xuantian Sword Technique, Cangtian Jin, which he has practiced with his grandfather for many years. However, at this time, he seemed to have become a little prostrate because of the excessive trumpet.
He thinks that this is because he is not in good health now, but in fact, he doesn't know that his body and strength, which were originally superior to others, have been weakened to the state of ordinary people, and he can still use the Xuantian Sword Technique because of his perseverance and determination. Although the talent of the sacrifice made the creator examiners know that their judgment was wrong, but in swordsmanship, this child who is less than 10 years old can actually seriously injure the swordsman examiner, in this world, the so-called swordsman is also a title, and there are also ranks, but the sacrifice is still only a child. Such strength is terrifying. However, for the country, the more powerful and terrible the child, the more they should pay attention to it, and the armband examiner hurriedly ordered the soldiers to arrest this guy. After looking at the green snake examiner, he said, "It seems that we can only go here for this appraisal, bring these children to Watanabe Castle, and conduct the appraisal, this time we have picked up a treasure." Ha ha...... The teacher will be very happy......" The two of them looked at each other and laughed. With a pop, the sacrificial priest fainted directly to the ground, and the two creator examiners hurriedly greeted ......;
