Chapter 616: Refusal

readx;

"Then the empire was divided, and in just a hundred years, the mighty empire was torn apart and returned to a state of separation. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The village chief said miserably: "However, at that time, the Holy See, even without the support of the empire, was already extremely powerful, so the operation of chasing and killing the masters of various races on the mainland still continued. Moreover, as long as it is a family that has participated in the battle between gods and demons, it has become their target, and everyone on the continent is in danger, and there is bloody rain everywhere. ”

"I think that the purpose of the Protoss is not to simply take revenge, but to weaken the strength of the Terrans, so that the Terrans will no longer be able to resist their invasions in the future. I sighed.

"Yes, this is exactly the purpose of the Protoss, but unfortunately, it is too late for the Terran masters to understand this. After countless infighting and weakening, a large number of real masters were trapped and killed one by one, and the God of War and the Yuan [***] God were nowhere to be found, and the Terran no longer had the ability to confront the Protoss, so they could only choose to retreat. The village chief said helplessly: "So, the hermit village appeared." ”

"I see. I nodded and said, "Unexpectedly, this little hermit village has a history of nearly 10,000 years. ”

"The original hermit village was not here, but in the Hongmeng Forest, living next to the elves. The deputy village chief shook his head and said, "Moreover, at that time, it was not called a hermit village, and it was not as large as it is now, it was just a secluded residence for five like-minded Terran masters. In those days, there were many hermits like this, but there were not many of them who could surpass the five of them in strength on the mainland, because they were all masters of the eighth-level peak, and they were just a little closer to stepping into the door of the gods. ”

"Eighth-level peak?" I was slightly curious and asked, "Isn't that the peak of the demigod-level?"

"Yes. The village chief nodded: "At that time, there were still many masters on the mainland, and the strength was not at all classified as god-level and demigod-level as it is now, only a simple level division. The current god level is equivalent to the original seventh level, and such a master, even after the civil strife in the mainland, there will definitely be no less than thousands on the mainland. ”

"Weird!" I stuck out my tongue secretly, and there were thousands of god-level masters in my heart, compared to the withering of talents now, it was no wonder that the Kalie patriarch would say that the current human race was weak. It is conceivable that in the past few thousand years, how many hardships these masters of the human race have endured, and how many exquisite martial arts and mental techniques have been completely lost.

"What was the hierarchy like before?" I asked again after a slight sigh. "Is the god just level nine, and will there be a more advanced existence in the future?"

"The gods who are promoted the day after tomorrow are only the ninth level. And those main gods created by the founding gods are all tenth-level gods. The village chief was even more deeply remembrative, and said: "In the past, with the help of the God of War and the Yuan [***] God, there were nearly ten ninth-level masters in the human race, but with the disappearance of the two main gods, in the end, they were also destroyed by the God of Light and the Demon God one by one. ”

"Then according to that, what level should the founding god who can create a tenth-level main god be? eleventh-level? or higher?" I frowned, secretly measuring my strength. If what the village chief said is true, then the wisdom god of light that I encountered last time is probably a ninth-level acquired god, and I myself am probably at the level of eighth, thinking about the strength of the tenth-level main god of light, wouldn't it mean that I am still two levels behind?

"This, the strength of the Founding God is no longer something that can be described by these simple levels, so no one has ever known which level he really belongs to. The village chief's face changed slightly, and he said strangely, but he was shocked to realize that not only did I have no reverence for the main gods, but also the founding god who created all things, and there was not much respect in his tone.

I don't care, and I do, lack the same reverence for the founding God as they do. First of all, I am from another world, not born on this continent, and even if the Founding God really created everything in this world, it has nothing to do with me. Secondly, I believe in many mysterious and incomprehensible powers, but I don't believe that anyone can really create all things in heaven and earth, and I don't believe in real ethereal gods, so I don't believe that everything in this world was created by the founding God. In my opinion, the reason why there is a legend that the founding god created everything is only because many things are still not understood. It's like magic, when you understand it, when you master it, it feels ordinary, but when you don't understand it, you just think it's a miracle.

Feng'er knew this very well, and with the ability of the Spiritual Contract, she knew countless things on the earth, and she also vaguely felt that the theory that the founding god created the continent was not credible. However, this is just a feeling, and it is not so easy to overturn the belief of thousands of years.

"How did the gathering of five people evolve into the current hermit village?" I continued to ask after a slight sigh.

"Well, it's complicated to say. The village chief muttered, "Actually, the true origin of the hermit village is only because of a coincidence. Those five people, that is, the first five elders of the hermit village, although they could not hide, they could not escape the pursuit of the Holy See after all, and their peaceful life was discovered by the Holy See after only ten years. Fortunately, they are all extremely strong, and they took their families to fight their way out and started a new round of escape. And in this escape, they strayed into the Hongmeng Forest and met a person. ”

"Who is it?" Feng'er and I asked in unison.

Perhaps, it should not be said that it was a man, but that it should be said that it should be said that it should be said that a god, who is the only descendant left on the continent by the founding god. The two village chiefs and several old men looked at each other and nodded, and said solemnly.

"Descendants of the Founding God?" I smiled dumbly, and said, "Could it be the Yu people? Doesn't the legend say that the Yu people are the descendants of the Founding God? That's why they are blessed with a talent that is not inferior to the gods and demons, and they can live freely on the continent." Unfortunately, they are now like elves, and they can only hide in the elven forest. ”

"The Feathered People are indeed talented, but they are not descendants of the Founding God. The village chief shook his head and said, "And the person that the five elders met is the true founding descendant. Because, there is still a divine power in his body. ”

"Sitzinga?" I blurted out.

"Yes, Miss Sitchin is a descendant of that man. The village chief's eyes flashed, and he nodded thoughtfully: "The gods and demons have not appeared on the mainland for many years, and no one knows about Shenwei. ”

"Guess. I said casually without sincerity.

The village chief choked slightly, shook his head and chuckled: "To be able to guess this, the head of the dragon is still the first!"

I was silent, Feng'er smiled secretly in her heart, and asked, "What about later?"

"Later, the masters of the Holy See and the Protoss came up and started a bloody battle with the five elders and the descendants of the founding god. In order to protect the descendants of the founding god, the three elders died, and the remaining two elders escorted him out and found another place to live in seclusion. And with his strong appeal, he began to gather the masters of the human race, and gradually formed a large-scale village. The village chief glanced at me meaningfully, and said leisurely: "The remaining two elders are the two village chiefs of the hermit village. Feeling that they were being beaten passively, they began to actively participate in the confrontation with the Protoss and the Holy See. Since then, on the one hand, the hermit village has taken it as its own responsibility to protect the descendants of the founders, and on the other hand, it has become the secret guardian of the human race. ”

"I see. I wondered in my heart and said, "Since they are the descendants of the Founding Fathers, why do the people of the Protoss and the Holy See still dare to do it? Aren't they afraid of the punishment of the Founding God?"

This is because the Founding God has long since left this plane. An ethereal voice came, and it was the old god stick who spoke. "The Founding God has not appeared on the continent for tens of thousands of years, otherwise, the gods and demons would not dare to invade the continent. Therefore, not only did they not have to worry about offending the Founding Descendants, but they were also deliberately trying to cut off the bloodline of the Founding God on the mainland. It is said that the Founding Descendants are the only people who have the potential to contact the Founding God. Unfortunately, no one knows how to get in touch. ”

"I see. I asked curiously, "From 10,000 years ago to the present, it has been passed down for so many generations, there should be a lot of founding descendants, right?

"The life cycle of the Founding Descendants is far longer than that of ordinary races, even if they are not inferior to the Dragons. Until now, it is only the third generation. The village chief smiled.

"Ten thousand years is only the third generation?" I was speechless, this is simply older than the dragon clan. This continent is indeed far different from the earth, and China's 5,000-year-old civilization has undergone a transformation from a slave society to a modern society, and it is only half a life for some races.

"What's so surprising about that. Feng'er said disdainfully in my heart: "There are not a few people on the mainland who have a long life, like our Feng clan, a cycle may take 10,000 years or even longer." As long as you successfully complete the nine times, you can survive for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years. ”

I admired in my heart, I didn't know, I was shocked when I asked, I knew that the phoenix clan was known as an immortal bird, but I didn't expect that an ordinary phoenix life could be so long. However, then I thought of another question, and I couldn't help but ask in my heart, "How many times have you been through the pan?"

"Well, a wise man shouldn't ask a lady's age. Feng Er snorted, in the image of my mind, the beautiful big eyes were already full of dissatisfaction.

"I forgot. I laughed, it was rare to see her in such a daughterly state, and I couldn't help but be unhappy.

"Captain Long, the matter of the founding descendants has a profound impact on this continent and even the entire plane, since you already know about it, I think you will definitely not ignore it, right?" The village chief and I communicated with Feng'er's heart, naturally they didn't know, in their opinion, I was just in a daze, seeing that I didn't react for a long time, the village chief smiled.

"I see. "It suddenly occurred to me that they wanted to use the golden sign of the founding descendants to pull me into the chariot of the hermit village. It's just that I think differently than I do. "With the strength of the Hermit Village, there is no more than me, and there is no less than me, and the matter of protecting the descendants of the founding is still exempt!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the two village chiefs and several old men suddenly changed, if it weren't for the good cultivation, I was afraid that there would be an uproar. The deputy village chief said in a deep voice: "The world is prosperous, and it is the responsibility of the husband, don't you feel that you need to contribute to the cause of peace for all ethnic groups on the mainland?"

"Don't put such a big hat on my head. I shook my head and chuckled, "Everyone has their own ambitions, and you don't have to force them, although I agree with what the Hermit Village is doing, and I think it is indeed important to protect the descendants of the founders, but it doesn't mean that I have to be a part of it." Could it be that if you don't join the Hermit Village, you can't do your best for the mainland?"

"It's a pity, but Captain Long is right. The deputy village chief's face changed slightly, he was speechless, and an old man on the side smiled slightly bitterly and sighed: "However, the head of the dragon said that there is a lot less of you, but it is a big mistake. At least, the old man has lived for so long, and he has never heard of anyone who can have your strength at your age, nor has he heard of anyone who can cultivate so many god-level or even demigod-level masters in just two years. I believe that if you are willing to join, three years is enough time for us to cultivate countless saint-level and even god-level masters, and strive for more chances of survival for all races on the mainland in the invasion of gods and demons in a few years. ”

"It's impossible. My face sank, and I said coldly: "There is no free lunch in the world, you only see my family's strength soaring, but you don't know that the price we pay is equally heavy." Although I think I have some strength, I never think that I can consume it like this indefinitely. Not to mention the constraints of the oath, even if I didn't, I would never be able to, and I wouldn't be able to help anyone train masters. ”

"Captain Long is right, there is no free lunch in the world, please ask Captain Long to cultivate masters, we are indeed delusional. My words disappointed the village chiefs and the others, and they all looked thoughtful. After a long time, the old god finally spoke, his voice was still ethereal and transparent, with a clear insight into everything, and an illusion to see through the world. "However, there is one thing that Captain Long may not know, Miss Feng'er behind you has already stepped into the door of the gods, and within a hundred years, she can go one step further and become a new god. ”

"So, you think she is the hope of saving the mainland?" I froze, staring at the old god stick coldly, and said jerkyly. I never imagined that there would be someone here who could see through Feng'er's strength and know that she would soon be able to break through to become a real divine beast. Legend has it that those who are proficient in prophecy have a pair of eyes that are perceptive, and it seems that they are really good.

"Not bad. Although she is not a human race, in order to fight against the invasion of gods and demons, all races on the continent should unite. Of course, you are the same. The old god said calmly.

"Do you know my true identity?" I frowned, secretly depressed, could it be that my identity as a dragon is really known to everyone?

"There are some things that can't be hidden. The old god said calmly.

"Besides, when you appeared, you were carried by a strange little dragon, and although the little dragon did not appear for a long time, the villagers had already seen it at that time. The deputy village chief smiled and said, "That little dragon never appeared again, but there was an extra one of you in the crowd, isn't this obvious?"

"So, you've been checking my true identity all this time?" I looked down, but this time I was really angry. I already knew my identity, but I didn't say anything about it during this time, and I couldn't help but be suspicious that they did it.

"Please forgive Captain Long, the stakes are very high, and we have to be extra careful. The village chief said apologetically.

"Tell your true purpose. I said coldly, since they know that I am not a human race, then their purpose is naturally not really to want me to stay here to help them cultivate masters. Or rather, the purpose of this request is simply to allow me to agree to another, less excessive, request.

"We hope that you can help contact the dragons, and mediate to get the dragons' help in the event of an invasion between the gods and demons. The village chief secretly complained to himself, knowing that his several temptations had angered the young man in front of him. "In addition, please also ask the dragon leader not to stay out of the situation when the gods and demons invade. ”

I snorted coldly and remained silent.

"We know it's wrong, but if we're not careful, it can cause a lot of trouble. Several times the gods and demons invaded, the hermit village would participate in it, and each time it almost killed and injured the masters in the village, and countless ancestors sacrificed in this way. Coupled with our repeated actions to sabotage the Holy See, they have to restrain a lot, and the Protoss and the Holy See have long hated us. In the past, we were not afraid, but now that the passage of gods and demons is about to open, it is not as difficult for the gods to enter the continent as it used to be, as long as we are not careful, we may cause the disaster of destroying the village, so no matter who appears nearby, we must check it out. The village chief sighed.

"I'll think about it. I said coldly, turned around and pulled Feng'er up and left the hut.

Along the way, my face sank like water, and I only cared about the speed of the road, and nothing else, until I got out of the village and returned to the lake before stopping. Feng'er knew my state of mind, and she didn't speak along the way, just followed quietly.

"Phew!" After a long time, I let out a sigh and asked, "Feng'er, do you think I should help them?"

"Didn't the master have a plan for a long time?" Feng Er said with a smile: "Why do you still ask the slave?"

"However, they clearly have bad intentions, and there is a mixture of truth and falsehood in their words, which I cannot trust. I shook my head and said, "If I really help, will I be used by them?"

"They must have concealed something, and why didn't the master try to find out the truth?" I think Miss Sitzingerhe must have known something. Feng'er said with a fox-like smile in her eyes. "Despite the presence of Kamui in her body, I think the master must have a way to ask what he wants to know from her. ”

"I don't want to do that. I shook my head: "Sitzingore is a real person who is fascinated by music and art, and I don't want these worldly things to disturb her state of mind." ”

"Then there's nothing you can do. Feng'er frowned. "The secret is obviously very important, and perhaps the whole village knows only the old guys today. But these people are all old foxes, and their strength is not simple, and it is not easy to find out the truth of the matter. ”

"Forget it, since they are insincere, we don't need to worry about ourselves, just leave!" I shook my head violently, I shook my head and said, "It's a big deal, let's go to the Holy See and the Protoss for trouble! ”

"Okay, okay!" Feng Er raised her hands in favor of my decision. The arrogance of the Feng clan is also deep in the bone marrow, just looking at the fact that she is usually elusive and does not like to get along with Filia and them, I know that she is also not willing to cooperate with the hermit village. "And when are we leaving?"

"Tomorrow morning!" I was silent for a moment, and then said dejectedly, "Going quietly will save you a lot of trouble." "I wanted to help, but they were always on guard and calculating, which made me feel helpless and tired. Perhaps, it is difficult for me to find true and pure friendship in the Terrans now.

At dusk, Philia and the others returned, and Alice, all of them were unhappy. Melina was even more aggrieved, as soon as she saw me, her eyes were red, and she pounced and held on to it for a long time and refused to let go. I smiled bitterly in my heart, relying on my spiritual connection with Xiao Yu, I naturally knew what had happened to her. Yatre spent the whole day trying to persuade her to persuade me to stay in the hermit's village. At first, Melina just said that everything is up to me, and the matter is over. Later, however, knowing that the village chief had failed to communicate with me, Yatro became a little anxious and spoke more heavily. To be honest, although I had to go to the courtyard where he lived every day this month, I didn't communicate much with him because of Siskaya's experience, although I wasn't cold, but I really wasn't very enthusiastic, which made him not have a particularly good impression of me.

"Melina, we'll leave here tomorrow, will you?" After comforting her for a while, I told her everything that had happened today, and also emphasized that they had concealed something, and finally said solemnly. I didn't ask Filia because they wouldn't object at all, only Melina was the most likely one to object because she had relatives here.

Melina was embarrassed for a while, after all, this is her immediate family, and if she leaves this time, it will be a little troublesome to meet in the future. After a moment of hesitation, she cautiously asked, "Can't you really help them?"

"I'll help. I shook my head and said, "But that's for them to show sincerity, not to be almost deceived into blindly helping like this." Besides, didn't I say that we definitely can't stay out of the situation when the gods and demons invade, so why don't we do it first? Since we are destined to be enemies of the gods and demons, the result of not helping them is not the same?"

"That's right!" Melina thought about it seriously and said, "Grandpa, they are simply difficult for strong people, we are just asking for trouble by staying here, it is indeed better to leave! Xiaotian, I will listen to you, leave early tomorrow morning, go quietly!"

"Well, that's it. I chuckled and nodded, thought for a moment, took out a jar of wine, and said, "Let's all go and get ready." Roger, you take this jar of wine, and when the dinner is ready, you will take one and give it to the Iron Master, how can you say that you also took a lot of advantage of him this time, but it is unreasonable not to say that it is not to say. ”

"Thank you hosts. "Roger was overjoyed, he stayed in the blacksmith shop of Fierce Iron for half a month, and came out to learn the heavy sword swordsmanship that I created especially for him, plus he created a new artifact-level two-handed heavy sword, but his martial arts have improved greatly. Because of this, he has great respect for Mengtie, and if he leaves without knowing it, he will really be unhappy.

"Hopefully, the next time we see each other, they can show sincerity. I sighed and said.

"Ha, we haven't congratulated Sister Feng'er yet!" Fei Liya saw that everyone's expressions were a little solemn, and changed the topic and smiled: "It turns out that Sister Feng'er is the most powerful one in the family, and she is about to become a god without making a sound." At that time, we don't need to believe in any gods anymore, just offer Sister Feng'er directly. ”

"Yes, yes!" Alice's child's surname, as soon as she turned her head and was unhappy, she almost forgot about it, and ran over to take Feng'er's hand and said coquettishly. "Sister Feng'er, you must cover me, if there is any big bad guy bullying me at that time, you must help me beat him. ”

The others also surrounded one by one and congratulated Feng'er.

(To be continued)
