Chapter 7: The Gods
Ji Niansheng was obviously shocked by the sudden change in front of him, especially the fact that this old man who looked so powerful and resolute would have a kind of tenderness like water, and he shook his head unconsciously: "You...... What do you say?"
"I have been asleep for thousands of years, I have fought with him for thousands of years, he doesn't remember what happened five hundred years ago, at that time he still had an unquenched ferocity, but fortunately it is different now, after the final fusion and entanglement, I became him, he became me. β
Ji Niansheng noticed that the Demon Emperor's current accent had changed slightly, with some earthy whiteness and broken accents in the remote places of the south, but he was still at a loss for the other party's final repetition, what did I mean to become him? He became me again?
As if seeing Ji Niansheng's dazedness, the old man approached him with a smile, and in Ji Niansheng's long-lived opinion, he only thought of the word "light lotus step", it was hard to imagine how this happened to a tall and burly man, in short, it was a graceful demeanor, of course, after ignoring the other party's appearance.
"Of the other four gods besides the Celestial Cloud Dragon, I am the only one he doesn't mention. I think it was the memories of me that caused him some discomfort, but fortunately it only took a little time for this discomfort to be removed, and that gave me the opportunity to talk to you, kid. β
From the birth of Ji Niansheng as an elk, until the subsequent cultivation of the Xuan Dao finally attained, he has never been called a child in his thousands of years, this strange and distant title actually made him feel a trace of warmth in his heart, but he still can't understand the meaning of the old man's words, he knows a little bit of the legend of the ancient five spirits, the beast is governed by the unicorn, the legend that the water tribe is under the control of the dragon, and he also knows that the unicorn and the dragon are precisely the head of the demon Fly Mountain, but that's all, what kind of god and other titles, but it is not very goodγ
The old man inevitably explained to Ji Niansheng with a gentle feminine smile: "You should always know that the five gods that appeared in the years that have been completely forgotten so long ago now, the god of heaven and the dragon of scales, the god of feathers and the phoenix, the god of the sea, and the god of the sac and the spider. And I, the feather god, the god known as the phoenix by later generations, I like this name, even though it is only a part of my spirit god that appears here. β
Ji Niansheng was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that the whole thing would have such a twist and turn, he needed time to digest the words of the old man opposite, so in the following time, only the old man's monologue was left in the cave.
"Anyone who appears here, whether a god or a mortal in the flesh, is by no means accidental. I think it must be the wisdom of the god Yunlong who made an arrangement in the dark. The young man from last time ended up weakening the Poseidon and used his life to provide me with a chance to succeed, and now you, I believe, are the key to understanding the future. β
Ji Niansheng was stunned for a long time, but when he began to speak, his tone regained his usual Yonghe lowness: "I don't really understand, you mean that the legendary phoenix of the lord of feathers and the cruel and tyrannical dragon are mixed together, as you said, you have become him, and he has become you, so are you a phoenix or a dragon now?"
"Yes, this is what it means that I have become him and he has become me, or rather, even if his body is still in the form of a sea god, his soul and mind are already one that I and him have fused together. After thousands of years of hard work, he is no longer the cruel and tyrannical evil dragon of the past, just like a human who has grown up and become mature and wise, and what he did in the past has become incomprehensible to him now. β
"Can I understand it this way? This Demon Emperor is still the appearance of the Demon Emperor, but the Yuan Spirit in him has become you?" This question is not difficult to understand, there are similar Yuan Spirit possession spells in the world.
The old man's smile deepened: "No, he still has his own Yuan Spirit, but due to the influence of my Spirit, his heart has changed completely, but his mind is still his own, although there is a part of me in it." β
Ji Niansheng decided to get rid of this round-and-forth topic, he thought that this was still similar to the possession of the Yuan Spirit, and the important thing was that it was better to face a sissy who behaved strangely than a fierce god with teeth and claws.
"What else did you just say about the wisdom of the Heavenly God Cloud Dragon, it seems that my intrusion is caused by Heaven's will, and what am I...... Whether you are the god of the sea or the god of feathers, I just want to say that I have been wrongly loved, but in fact I was chased by your race and cornered, and came with the idea of taking your life. To be honest, I was lucky enough to be able to get here, and I can't believe it, I think it was an accident, so you shouldn't expect too much from me. β
"Is it just luck? including your infiltration with the Dragon, the unimpeded passage of the Poseidon's Palace, and the timely release of the aura before it bursts? Child, true luck doesn't come one after another, and you should believe that it was a deliberate arrangement. β
Ji Niansheng was speechless, and he instantly realized this truth. In fact, the way he entered the Forbidden Land of the Wild Water was so bizarre that it was unbelievable, the dragon-dragon-dragon that guarded the Red Sky Barren Sea suddenly swam at the bottom of the Poyang Lake where he was located, and he happened to have an idea, turning into a small particle attached to the dragon's body-like body like a craggy rock, allowing this ancient beast that was not subject to the power of the secret spell of the Void Realm to penetrate the Forbidden Void Realm with himself. Now that I think about it, this is not so much a strange adventure as a strange adventure on the road to the skyless, but rather a special pick-up and drop-off for the dragon.
"You may be right......" Ji Niansheng even suspected that the spit out of the octopus tentacles in the past few days was also a deliberate arrangement, otherwise it would not be possible to explain why the dragon woke up so timely and chose the one he accommodated from a few tentacles. "But I don't know why I'm the one you have chosen, I'm just an elk who has attained the Tao, and I have a gritted hatred for my insatiable cannibalistic kind, in front of you, I'm just a lowly anoma, I don't think I'm anything I can do to help you, in fact, it's my greatest wish to be able to kill you. β
"The wisdom of the Heavenly God Cloud Dragon is vast and profound, and since the person in front of you is not the person you thought he was, why cling to opposing feelings and not forgetting it?
The smile on the old man's face was gradually fading, and the deep psychedelic colors in his eyes were also quietly dimming, and when Ji Niansheng wanted to ask, he heard the old man say in the northwest accent of the previous round...... And the sac god and the feather god, you know? I used to have a lot of trouble with them, but now that I think about it, I still hate that unicorn a little more. Seriously, I miss them, and if they were still there, with their superior wisdom they wouldn't have haunted me for so long, as I had dreamed of. β
He changed back into him again, Ji Niansheng didn't know if he was so described, in short, the old man no longer had any female features between his gestures, he walked with his head held high, the tiger was vigorous, the tentacles of the octopus were like dark red ribbons coiled around his body, Ji Niansheng also noticed that with the breathing of the old man, a mysterious energy that seemed to be there was expanding from the tentacles of the octopus.
Ji Niansheng understood the intention of doing this almost at a glance, if he compared his absorption of the spiritual breath of heaven and earth to eating, then it seems that the old man was right, the way he ate was wrong, and he blindly received it but did not release it like he is now, of course, the premise is that he must have the cultivation skills of this kind of release, and he can't be a magpie who steals the dove's nest, at best he is just a little wren who steals food.
"You ......" Ji Niansheng thought about it, and found that this statement was a bit weird, so he immediately changed his words: "...... What do you think has been bothering you?"
"The Holy Spirit has been enlightened, what do you want?" the old man's voice was deeply confused and ethereal.
β»β»β»
"Do you have an answer now?" Lang Ji had a sneer on his face.
Ji Niansheng's story has reservations, under deliberation he gave up the part about the feather god, even in the past ten years he has not said a word to the demon emperor, he doesn't know what the so-called fusion of soul and soul thoughts means, in fact, after that brief meeting, the feather god never appeared again, he is not sure whether the demon emperor will relapse because of his sensitivity to the feather god, he has no intention of trying, he must admit that ten years of getting along day and night, helping each other to make him like this old man, they treat each other as close friends, so he doesn't want this to become the source of trouble for the demon emperorγ
The story later turned to the friendship between the two in the past ten years, including the information from the outside world that Ji Niansheng brought back from time to time, such as the establishment of the Dust Demon Envoy, the power of the Holy King of Yanshui, and the fall of Pingtao City, etc., so that the Demon Emperor is no stranger to the rapid changes in the outside world, but Lang Yu is still skeptical about it.
"Of course there is an answer, otherwise why are we here?" Ji Niansheng seemed to be unaware of Lang Ji's forced gaze, and bowed slightly to the banquet crowd, "But before that, we are still willing to listen to the Holy King's intentions first." β
The Demon Emperor poured wine into his exquisitely lacquered feather buds for the seventh time, two drunken reds welled up on his snow-white skin, and expressed his carelessness with a long burp; Ji Niansheng returned directly to his desk, Shi Xi on the right asked softly and familiarly, and Han Li on the left smiled politely.
"I don't dare to say that what Mr. Nian Shengzi said is not true, I just have some confusion. Lang Yu stood up and stretched out his hands to the neighboring Demon Emperor: "With all due respect, we all know what kind of temperament the old man used to have, what happened to make him become like this? This is of course a good thing that is unexpectedly happy, but I still want to know the details, not to mention just because it is your thoughts and thoughts." β
"I was that nasty then?" the Demon Emperor finally looked up, shrugging his shoulders with an innocent look.
"I made it clear. Ji Niansheng replied unhurriedly, now he is as gentle as a humble gentleman with a polite temperament, "A drop of water falls on the surface of the rock, and the world will not look like there is any change, but what if it continues to drip for thousands of years?
"This explanation doesn't reassure me......" Lang Yu was a little reluctant, but Chi Tang immediately spoke, rounding up their entanglement: "Maybe we don't have to rush to get to the bottom of it, the current ...... Poseidon, at least what we are happy to face, or solve the most practical problems at hand. Mr. Lang, after you unify the two clans, what will you do next?"
"That's what I just said. Ji Niansheng smiled and added, "There are a lot of stories that should be heard tonight, and the experience of me and the old man is just a beginning, and it is only fair that the information we have is equal to each other." Including you, Fire Raven Saint, I am very interested in the origin of you and these foreign friends. β
"Let's not ask about the details, let's talk about the right reason. Lang Ji also smiled, and he made a gesture of inviting Chi Tang first, "The Crow Saint might as well say it first, I probably know some from the Heavenly King, but the details have to be told by those who have witnessed it." β
Chi Tang didn't push back, the origin of this envoy group is a topic that can't be avoided, what he has to do is to finish narrating it, and it is good to listen to Lang Ji's plan after listening to it.
......
Chi Tang's story is not complicated, but it is shocking enough for the full house of water demons who are not yet fully aware.
The Blood Spring Ghost Clan was once also an ally that the Holy King wanted to woo, and their strength in Middle-earth Huaxia was already on a par with the Fly Mountain, and although the alliance with them was neither reliable nor destined to be short-lived, they were an important force to counterbalance the Fly Mountain.
It was such a powerful Blood Spring Ghost Clan, but in just two days, it was completely wiped out by the Rift Abyss Country, and the Ghost Emperor and the Ghost Ministers had both been reduced to prisoners, and since then they have lost the possibility of making waves, which is a major event that is enough to be compared with the unification of the Fly Mountain and the Water.
Ambitious as the broken sea, he has already begun to calculate how many chances he can have if he starts a war with the Rift Abyss Ghost Kingdom with the strength of the current demon race; his scheming is as deep as a trickle, and he is contemplating the next general trend; while others, such as Lady Nishang and Twilight Juezi, are shocked and dumbfounded; only Ling Tao still has a lonely and indifferent expression, hiding his shocked mood very well.
"I really want to see the Rift Abyss Mighty King who defeated the Ghost Emperor, I don't believe that a ghost spirit incarnated by the Fly Mountain Demon Clan can have such strength!" the Heavenly Spirit Ghost General muttered, I don't know if it was because of competitiveness or admiration.
Chi Tang didn't tell everything and everything, he didn't want to make public the speculation of the Great King of the Rift Abyss that the demon king was not dead, especially at the celebration banquet where the mountains and rivers were unified, but this still did not hide from the meticulous Lang Jie.
"Just to spy on the current situation of Fly Mountain, it is necessary to dispatch two Five Saints? This is unreasonable, one or two envoys can achieve this goal, such as Mr. Kanji of the Selen Clan. You must be raising the crowd for some other reason. β
