In the "original timeline" where Sun and Huang did not exist, the cause of the second flood was different from the one caused by Huang Donglai.
But to explain this difference, we still have to talk about another issue first, which is the relationship between the Fallen Ghoul and "sacrifice", and why it wants "treasures".
The first crucial event is the "First Sacrifice".
When the Fallen Man fell, it happened to meet Masahiro Sahara who was praying to ghosts and gods, so it immediately used its senses beyond human beings and its logic that was different from humans to understand Masahiro Sahara's appeal.
Then out of consideration for survival, it accepted the deal and was bound to the Sahara family's bloodline.
The Fallen One used the baby boy presented by Sahara Masahiro as a genetic reference, and reshaped itself to a certain extent to adapt to the environment... Yes, you can think that since the "First Sacrifice", the Fallen One Physiologically speaking, Nao has actually absorbed and possessed some characteristics of human babies, but you can't tell it from the appearance alone.
It has indeed completed the deal with Sahara Masahiro within its own capabilities, that is, Sahara will provide it with a descendant genetically related to him every twelve years to ensure that it further updates its own attributes and adapts to the earth's ecosystem. , and it also uses its ability to influence the surrounding space to feed back and create a more suitable living environment for humans.
This is the truth about how Sawara Kingdom achieved "good weather" from generation to generation through "sacrifice".
But...what should we do when we encounter a foreign enemy invasion?
This answer was also given by Anji Sahara...
During the Bunji period, Anji Sawara went to the fallen man and told him that Sawara was about to be captured, and then prayed to "gods" to save them.
The Fallen Man understands what he means. Although the Fallen Man has no emotional bond with the Sawara clan like gratitude, it can read the thoughts of Sawara Anji and understand what will happen to its survival if someone else occupies Sawara. produce unpredictable effects.
The Fallen Man has already been bound to the Sahara family's bloodline in his own way, just like he has decided his own blood type. It's not impossible for him to change his blood type, but the process of "changing blood" is undoubtedly very painful. And there are risks.
Therefore, the Fallen Man also accepted Sahara Anji's request for a deal to "defeat foreign enemies."
But as we have repeatedly emphasized, it is not a real "god" and it cannot perform miracles from heaven.
In fact, although the fallen are a kind of life that is higher than humans, in some aspects, it is not as good as humans. Everyone should know this, just like many animals have some physiological characteristics that are stronger than humans, including but Not limited to strength, speed, explosive power, recovery, endurance, heat resistance, cold resistance, longevity, etc.
The same is true for the fallen. Some of the things it can easily do are physically impossible for humans, but there are also some things that humans can do that it cannot do.
For example, moving its huge body, climbing out of the valley above the lake, and directly physically repelling the enemy forces, the Fallen Man couldn't do this... If it could, it would have done it long ago.
Precisely because he couldn't do it, the fallen ghoul asked for "treasures" to defeat the enemy.
The so-called "treasure" concept is actually the wrong information obtained by the fallen ghoul after reading Anji Sawara's thoughts.
It thinks... these "treasures" really have the kind of "divine power" in human cognition. As long as it absorbs the "treasures" and further updates and reshapes itself, it can acquire new abilities similar to them and help the Sahara clan. Defeat foreign enemies.
But actually, that's not the case.
Many things that are regarded as "treasures" in the human world actually have no special abilities. Even if they do have special properties, the consequences of being absorbed by the fallen are unknown.
For example, the "Tian Cong Yun Sword Fragment" thing, once it is absorbed, it is like taking a poison.
Then someone must ask, since the fallen people misunderstood this matter, why was Sahara still saved from the hands of foreign enemies after the first flood?
It's very simple, because the troops who besieged Sawuan also experienced the drought at that time, so they were frightened and retreated after the end.
And the end of that rice harvest tide was also very dramatic.
At first, Sahara Anji planned to sacrifice Nishikiyo for additional "sacrifice" to calm the matter, and the method he guessed really worked.
Unfortunately...Nishikichiyo was saved by Keijiro from the Second Wave.
Yes, something happened here where "effect" gave birth to "cause", and similar things happened many times in the "original timeline", because the fallen people's perception of "time" is different from ours. , for it, the two tides are parallel and related to each other.
In short, in the original closed loop, Keijiro also defeated Misaku Sahara miserably, but because Huang Dong was not there to help him treat his injuries, his strength was greatly reduced, so he could only hide in Tibet with Nishikiyo.
I hid for many days.
The original crop tide lasted for that long, and could even last longer.
Half of the people in Sawara died due to various reasons (many of them went crazy and committed suicide), and the troops besieging Sawara almost collapsed...
Finally, Sahara Anji, who couldn't find Nishikichiyo, had no choice but to sacrifice his own son. Anyway, he already had a grandson by this time, and from the appearance of the Sawara clan, it was confirmed that the Sawara clan did not die...
After the sacrifice is completed, the Yao tide ends.
Then Keijiro returned to his original world, but Nishikichiyo, who had been on the run with Keijiro for many days, was separated and drifted between the sea and the real world, becoming a person trapped in reincarnation and unable to die even if he wanted to. of special existence.
In order to escape from reincarnation, Nishikiyo began to collect various information and wrote scrolls...
The above is almost the "original story" of the first rice harvest tide in the Wenzhi period and the intersection with the second rice harvest tide.
So let’s get back to the topic, what was the original cause of the second rice crop tide?
I guess you can guess a thing or two...it still has something to do with the treasure, namely the Dragon Bi.
And this leads to another question: After experiencing the last wave of trouble, why did the fallen go on to conduct a second "treasure transaction"?
And...thinking about it on the other hand, if it learns its lesson and does not make a second transaction, there will be no second wave. Then the time and space associated with the first wave should not exist, and there will be no Some of these closed loops of effects and causes are produced. Why is this?
The answer here is obvious - the occurrence of the second tide was premeditated and acceptable by the fallen.
This kind of creature is so powerful precisely because it can briefly connect itself in two time dimensions through the mechanism of the tide...
After being tricked by the "Tian Cong Yun Sword Fragment" last time, the Fallen Man has certainly learned his lesson, but the Xielong Bi is a different thing, and through the connection between the two waves, the Fallen Man has already known about the second one. It was in its own state at the time of the attack, so this time it already knew what the other party would eventually offer before it proposed a deal to Sahara Souga.
The fallen man who absorbed the Xuan Long Bi successfully gained some new ability. We will talk about this ability later, but I won’t mention it here...
In short, this kind of ability is what the fallen ghoul wants to obtain even if it goes through the tide, so it accepts the Xilong Bi anyway. Then, as it had expected in advance, at the next sacrifice, the Sahara clan offered Sahara Shigeru. , the fallen man whose attributes had changed became resistant to this new sacrifice.
This was the original cause of the second crop tide.
Of course, although the causes of the two tides are different, the ending method is the same, so this fall will not feel any surprise or extra cost.
After this closed loop, it will adapt and survive again based on acquiring new abilities.
But...this world line has changed now.
The arrival of these two troublemakers, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai, changed the cause of the second flood. Let’s not talk about it. Just for this, it still doesn’t matter if you fall; but the subsequent double harmonies will have a negative impact on this closed loop of time and space. The destruction is something that even the fallen don’t know how it will develop.
In other words, everything that happens in this wave at this moment is something that no one can predict, and it is even affecting the "past" and the new future at the same time.
