Chapter 51: The Legend of Hometown
Gou Chen, who turned into a black-haired boy, couldn't help but whisper when he saw Wang Yuetian's surprised expression
"What? Is this look of mine very different from what you imagined?"
Hearing Gou Chen's still somewhat immature voice, Wang Yuetian immediately recovered from that moment of trance
"No, it's just that the way you look reminds me of some legends from the village where I used to live. ”
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Gou Chen seemed to be aroused by Wang Yuetian's interest, and couldn't help asking
"What kind of legend is that?"
After Wang Yuetian heard Gou Chen's inquiry, he sorted out his slightly unstable emotions a little and said
"The village I used to live in was almost isolated from this world of cultivation. The people who live there have not even heard of the God of Light, and they have always called the God of Light God!
In the legend about God, it took God seven days to create the heavens and the earth. There is a description of the creation of the world: God created everything in the heavens and the earth, and the world is in a chaos of nothingness. With God's Word to have light, the world has its first rays of light. And this light is also the basis of the composition of all things.
I didn't understand this description of creation until I entered the world of chess spirits and saw those opening illusions, and I understood the true meaning of this creation scene. ”
When Gou Chen heard this, his eyes couldn't help but show a sense of surprise
That's an interesting description. No wonder you're so different from those people. Others were shocked when they first saw this scene of creation, but the reason for that shock was more based on the instinctive reaction of the deepest part of their consciousness. They had no idea what was really meaning behind that scene. And in a short time you seem to see the true meaning behind the illusion.
Now I'm really curious about how I am portrayed in your hometown. ”
After Wang Yuetian heard Gou Chen's slightly playful joke, after thinking about it for a while, he smiled slightly
"In the legend of my homeland, the God who created everything established heaven after the creation of the world, and then he created everything in the world and gave them the most precious life.
Among all living beings, the supreme being is called an angel. Among the many angels, the Seraphim Seraphim has the most noble status.
The number of Seraphs is very scarce, and one of them, Lucifer, is one of the Creation Angels, along with seven other Seraphs, who enjoys the highest power and honor in heaven besides God.
But then, after God created many living beings, for some reason, he created human beings based on himself.
However, the human beings created on the model of the ontology are not perfect, God has not endowed the human race with any divine power, and even the physical strength of human beings is far inferior to that of many beasts. However, God has given the human race another gift: wisdom that surpasses all other races.
In the beginning, the Terrans did not have the razor-sharp claws of tigers, nor the speed of cheetahs, nor the strong physique of brown bears. In the beginning, the Terrans were just ingredients in the mouths of other races.
But under the persecution of death, God's gift to the human race began to peel back the original shell, and human wisdom began to enlighten:
From the first wooden sticks, to later stone tools, to the emergence of decisive metal smelting technology. The Terrans gradually changed their inferior position through the continuous improvement of tools.
At the same time, it is also because of the weakness of individual ability that they learn to unite and work as a team. Later, human beings learned a new form of division of labor and cooperation.
Under the division of labor and cooperation, the power of the human race began to sublimate for the second time. Human beings have overcome many obstacles, defeated scattered and powerful populations with their weak bodies, and gradually dominated one living world after another. Eventually, by virtue of the use of wisdom, human beings ascended to the throne of the head of all things.
Humanity's performance in this process of rebellion was appreciated by God, who finally decided to make the human race the ultimate race to control the world for him, and demanded that all other races, even the angels, submit to him.
The arrogant six-winged angel of light, Lucifer, had to kneel before the Son under the power of God. But at the moment he knelt, his heart was full of unwillingness and humiliation.
God had arranged everything and then fell into a long slumber.
In the subsequent process of human domination of the world, the Seraphic Angel Lucifer, who was required by God to submit to mankind, became more and more intolerant of human existence.
Unable to really lower his head, the Seraphim who had been kneeling before God was back on his feet as God fell into a deep sleep. The moment Lucifer got back on his feet, he suddenly realized that his legs, which had become accustomed to standing, were not so easy to bend again.
Thus, the angel of creation raised the banner of rebellion against humanity, and he led a third of the angels at that time to launch a rebellion.
In response to this rebellion, on the Heavenly side, the remaining seven Seraphim Seraphims led the crowd in a desperate struggle against Lucifer's side.
In the end, in this battle known as Ragnarok, Lucifer rebelled: he was cut off by the victorious Seraph, so that he could never stand up again if he refused to kneel, his white wings were also dyed black, which meant that he lost the favor of God forever and became dark and depraved, and Lucifer himself was thrown into hell, from a superior god under one man and above ten thousand people to a demon king in hell. And the angels who followed him were also sent to hell, and they could not be reborn forever. ”
After listening to Wang Yuetian's slightly revised Bible story, Gou Chen was silent for a long time, and after a while, he said softly
"I like the version you describe more than the other versions you describe.
Although this version is also full of lies, one of them is very true, that is: the leg that has stood up cannot be bent again! My demon beast clan will never give in to the human race again, even if the result is eternal hell!"
Wang Yuetian's eyes couldn't help narrowing when he heard Gou Chen's words, and then he smiled at Gou Chen,
"So, for you and your race to get back on your feet from the hell of despair. Dear Demon King, can we talk more about this plan to escape from hell? ”
When Gou Chen heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said
"Interesting human, I'm actually more concerned about one more thing than your whimsical escape plan. ”
When Wang Yuetian heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned and said
"Huh, what do you care about?"
Gou Chen Wenyan, put away his originally smiling face, and looked a little positive, and said
"That is, as a human being, why do you want to help me, as the king of the demon race. ”
When Wang Yuetian heard Gou Chen's words, he knew that this involved one of the most critical issues in the negotiation: trust.
In Wang Yuetian's view, negotiation is essentially a process of a group of people who don't trust each other peeling off their hypocrisy layer by layer. The first side that is naked is the one who loses. However, if the opponent is mistaken into believing that he is in control, then the winner or loser will not be revealed until the hole cards are actually opened.
In response to this situation, Wang Yuetian played a card that had been prepared,
"As I said before, I need something, and I can provide it. And I can help with the freedom you want. So, that's the basis on which we can get this deal done.
I can understand that you don't trust me. In fact, with the ability to respect the driver, I can sign a soul contract to guarantee that I will fulfill the agreement. ”
When Gou Chen heard this, he shook his head and said
"Soul Contract. Two hundred years ago, the human being named Mo Wentian in the Heavenly Pavilion, who had passed through the Cloud Pavilion, had signed a contract with me with the souls of everyone in the secret room of the Kongming Mountain at that time.
But so what. In the end, as a Terran, he would rather sacrifice everyone's lives than fulfill that promise. ”
Hearing this, Wang Yuetian couldn't help but be shocked in his heart: Heavenly Machine Passing Cloud Pavilion?! Could it be that the tragedy of Heavenly Opportunity Passing Cloud Pavilion eighteen years ago had something to do with this Gou Chen!
It is said that in the tragedy of destroying the door eighteen years ago, the people who died in the Heavenly Opportunity Cloud Pavilion Gate did not have a trace of scars on their bodies. However, according to Gou Chen, only a limited number of people in the secret room signed the contract, but why did all the people in the Heavenly Opportunity Cloud Pavilion die?
Just when Wang Yuetian was thinking to himself, Gou Chen asked again
"Human, whether you want something from me, or sign a soul contract to gain my trust. More than that, I'd like to hear from you for yourself why you, as a human, want to help me as a demon king.
If you can't give me an answer, I'm afraid that the only thing you can get by entering this chess soul world this time is death. ”
Wang Yuetian couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard this. Just as he opened his mouth to make up some nonsense to answer, Gou Chen, who was not far away, suddenly shook his head slightly, and then, his long black hair flicked and stabbed Wang Yuetian several key points on his body!
The long hair like black light pierced into Wang Yuetian's body when he didn't react at all, which made Wang Yuetian's heart skip a beat.
At this time, Gou Chen's voice came slowly again, and said
"You don't have to be nervous just yet. These strands of mine measure your heartbeat and changes in blood composition. It's just for the purpose of detecting if you're lying to me.
Of course, if the reason you say next makes me think you're lying, the hair that goes deep inside you will do a crimson dance inside you. In an instant, your body will be torn to shreds by the dancing black hair.
So, human, you should keep a good eye on me now, because whether you intend to lie or not, you will see me again in a moment.
After all, according to the legend of your hometown, I am the king of hell, and people like you should not be able to go to heaven after death. ”
