Chapter 479: Insignificant
For the sudden sound of descending, Yuan Yi was full of suspicion in his heart.
And Bai Xiao's reaction was even more straightforward.
The bone spear slashed upwards with a black bolt of lightning that pierced directly through the clear and divine light.
The dome of the main hall shattered, and countless pieces of wood and leaves fell.
However, around the hollow that had been pierced, more branches quickly spread over, clumping together to weave a new dome, and once again shedding light through the gaps in the leaves.
Even the voices in the main hall did not diminish in the slightest.
"There is no point in violence, even if you tear this temple to pieces, it will only shatter the moon in the water......"
Before the words fell, Bai Xiao's bone spear flashed again, but this time it used the spear as a blade, splitting a black arc from top to bottom, so that the wall from the dome to the foot was split in two, and the magnificent ancient picture scroll also collapsed.
The voice above his head was a little cramped: "Why is this so difficult? Are you here to tear down a temple?"
Bai Xiao ignored it, the bone spear swept, and drew a horizontal arc in the hall, forming a perfect cross with the previous one.
A corner of the hall collapsed, rubble rained down, and the World Tree that supported the hall groaned.
Bai Xiao did feel that this hall was empty when he made a move, like a bubble in the water, but what if it was a bubble in the water? The man hid behind the bubble and hid his head and tail, obviously this bubble was not completely meaningless to him.
As long as there is a little meaning, it is enough for Bai Xiao to break it.
And just as Bai Xiao was about to continue demolishing the building, the man finally let out a sigh.
"Forgotten people should not be in front of people, and seeing me is not good for you and me. β
As he spoke, a pitch-black figure dripped from the dome like a thick droplet.
After landing, the figure still maintained its pitch-black color, but barely showed the silhouette of a person. And the slightly old and hoarse voice came from the darkness.
"Now you see me. β
Bai Xiao didn't answer directly, but gently leaned forward with the bone spear in his hand.
The pitch-black figure did not resist, allowing the tip of the spear to touch lightly on itself.
Invisible ripples spread, and a powerful repulsion forced the two to separate.
Bai Xiao withdrew the bone spear, and from the touch point of view, the other party was indeed a genuine "foreign object".
Whether it was the dark side of the Immortal Tree or the Forsaken, these concepts were completely foreign to Bai Xiao, and he couldn't tell them at all. But he was at least sure that the other party was not just a bubble in the water like this temple, but a real person who could talk to.
Then listen to what he has to say.
The pitch-black figure took a few steps back and said, "Fang Cai's mural is the real history. β
Before the words fell, Qing Yue interrupted: "I'm afraid it's just a microcosm of history. β
The Shadow asked, "What's the difference?"
Qingyue said: "The microcosm means that it has been artificially cut, and it may not be able to restore the complete history, and this so-called truth is only a one-sided truth." β
The black shadow was silent for a while, and then said: "There is no complete history in the world with real meaning, and even the recorders who claim to be objective and neutral can only record one-sided and subjective. β
Qingyue said: "I didn't say that one-sidedness has no value, but I hate that someone is holding a fragment in his hand and standing tall." You do have a history that we don't know, but that doesn't stop us from accepting your claims. β
The black shadow said, "It's okay, it's enough to accept the truth of this side." β
As he spoke, the shattered walls of the hall were glued back together, and the fixed murals were put into operation again, continuing to show the shattered appearance of the world.
Bai Xiao watched seriously, until one world after another was extinguished in the darkness, and then asked, "You want to warn us not to peep at the sky at will?"
"Yes. The Shadow was very frank, "The world beyond the sky is terrifying beyond imagination, you should know this best!"
As he spoke, there was a faint fluctuation in the black shadow, and Bai Xiao suddenly recalled the hundreds of millions of eyeballs that appeared in the sky when the second demon seed was transplanted.
It was indeed unimaginably terrifying, if it was a person with a little less mental toughness, he would have a nervous breakdown on the spot, and although Bai Xiao was not afraid, he finally left a deep imprint in his memory.
But the world beyond the sky also contains infinite opportunities. Qingyue said, "Even your mural records that this world comes from outside the sky. β
The Shadow said, "Yes, in fact, the so-called truth that you are looking for in your hearts is nothing more than a simple sentence. Much of the legacy left behind when the capital of the Ray Dynasty fell has been transformed into this unique natural wonder. There are only a few historical relics that can prove that human civilization originated from the sky. β
Lan Lan asked, "It's so simple?"
"It's actually even simpler than that. The shadow spoke, taking the initiative to separate the walls of the hall, drawing a cloud of rubble from the darkness behind the walls.
However, among the few people present, who were knowledgeable enough, they immediately saw that the pile of rubble and rubble was only a faΓ§ade, and that it carried thousands of years or more of history.
The black shadow said: "History is a process of continuous forgetting and loss, and the Thunder Dynasty is no exception, by the time the throne fell, most of the artifacts from ancient times had already been lost, and after thousands of years, these are the only things that remain." β
Qingyue hummed and was noncommittal.
The remnants of the Thunder Dynasty have apparently been taken over by this group of forsaken people, and how many ancient artifacts are left, and it is not up to them to say anything? It is likely that the real key artifacts have long been hidden......
But that doesn't matter, just look at what you're looking at first.
There are not many cultural relics brought by the black shadow, and the information contained in them is relatively simple, basically confirming the content of the mural.
Almost all of the power of the ancient schools of thought came from outside the sky, whether it was the simple written records of the obscurantist period or the remnants left by the colonists on the earth in the ancient period, almost all of them pointed to the same truth.
Qingyue and the other tribesmen have quite a good ability to adapt to the truth, but Yuan Yi was shocked in his heart, because this is the first time that he has confirmed the origin of human civilization from the physical level!
But soon, more doubts came to mind.
If the origin of human beings really came from outside the heavens, then there is a considerable contradiction in what the murals show.
At the end of the scroll, the mural vividly depicts the cruelty and brutality of extraterrestrial things, and one world after another is crushed by extraterrestrial creatures...... So why did such a group of creatures who are natural to destroy sow the seeds of civilization in this world?
The black shadow seemed to see through Yuan Yi's confusion and said, "It is impossible for a miracle to reappear, the birth of this world is already a miracle, and we can't expect more miracles to continue to come." β
Qingyue explained: "According to the opinion of this forsaken person, the first colonists to come to this world can probably only be regarded as an extremely rare alternative among the extraterrestrial creatures, and they are not keen on destroying the world, but will generously grant civilization. β
Lan Lan said: "Maybe it's just building a farm, after all, this world was lifeless at the beginning, and it is of little value to those who harvest." β
Qingyue said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out, in short, although human civilization originated outside the sky, the place of origin contains infinite risks, is that so?"
The dark shadow said, "The risk is only greater than you can imagine. Extraterrestrial things are not necessarily responsible for destroying the world, and many times the destruction of the world is just an inadvertent act for them. Just like most people don't care if they step on ants when they walk. Those true behemoths, even if they just skim our world, will destroy this world in an instant. β
As he spoke, the mural seemed to be a special trip to confirm what he said, showing a huge shadow gently passing by a ball of light, and the aftermath blowing the ball of light away.
"Who knows if all this is true or false?" Yuan Yi argued, "Is there really such an exaggerated power in the world, I don't think it maybe! When the demon clan invaded, its strength was only so ......"
Before the words fell, even the tribal friends around him couldn't help but shake their heads.
The black shadow even sneered: "Why should His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deceive himself, Shengyuan relied on the war between humans and demons to gain a foothold in the world, and he should know more about that war than most people." Is the power of the demon really 'just like that'?"
Yuan Yi was suddenly speechless.
Of course, it's more than that!
After all, the demons are the source of the power of human civilization, and there are many mysteries that have not been solved so far, and there are many demon legacies that cannot be replicated - for example, the original brood is the most typical example. As the source of the power core of the human demon daoist, the human race has not been able to restore the highest quality brood so far, and can only continue to use the legacy left more than 2,000 years ago.
This shows that even after two thousand years of development, the demonic civilization of mankind is still unable to catch up with its former enemies in many aspects.
In addition, as a member of the royal family, Yuan Yi also knows a secret that few people in the world know: the end of the war between humans and demons is not because the strength of humans overwhelms the opponent, but because the demons have taken the initiative to choose to retreat! In other words, the victory of the war between humans and demons is purely given up by the demons!
It's just that even the Shengyuan royal family only knows a little about the concessions of the demon clan back then.
The black shadow said: "The demon race, which almost overthrew human civilization back then, is just a 'pioneer team', and it doesn't even have the ability to fight military in the real sense. It's like a villager who went to the barren mountains outside the village to pioneer the wilderness, and such a villager has turned human civilization upside down...... In the end, it even had to rely on the help of the ancient relics to reluctantly repel it. β
The dull and hoarse voice added another smile.
When the villager retreated, he didn't even suffer any serious losses, as if he had been bitten by a mosquito, and he simply retreated from the barren mountains to find a more suitable pioneer land. The war between humans and demons that has been sung for 2,000 years is essentially a trivial joke. β
