Xun Guang was interrupted by Lu Chen's sudden question, and his expression was stagnant, "No, as you can see, I am obviously male in terms of gender meaning."
Lu Chen was a little puzzled, "Isn't this contradictory again?"
Xun Guang felt that it was quite strenuous to talk to a reckless man with a simple brain circuit, but now that he had opened his mouth, it would be even more uncomfortable if he didn't finish.
He took a deep breath and continued: "The Night Clan only has women, so there is no reproduction in the sense of life. It's like our birth was a mistake at the beginning, an accident when the world was separated. The heaven and earth were corrected again, asking us to return That part of the power of law, so life will only continue to decrease."
"In the land of extreme darkness, the lifespan of the Night Clan is not eternal. It is like a limit set by heaven and earth. However, the Night Clan can pass on its power and create the next generation. At a certain age, the women of the Night Clan will give birth naturally. If it is a girl, If it’s a boy, then keep it. If it’s a boy, then kill it.
Listening to Xun Guang's narration, Lu Chen's eyes were a little confused, but he didn't ask any questions this time because he felt that Xun Guang would tell.
"Because only women can continue to give birth to children and allow the inheritance of the Night Clan to continue. In the ancient inheritance of the Night Clan, men are considered to be ominous beings. If a boy is born, he should be killed. This is considered to be a warning from heaven and earth to the Night Clan. , telling us that it is time to return part of the dark power to nature, otherwise we will no longer be protected by the night.
"This is a very barbaric tradition. It was only when I traveled to the world later that I realized the backwardness of the Night Clan's thinking at that time. This is something only a few barbaric and primitive tribes in the mortal world would do. We, the Night Clan, are self-sufficient. In the darkness of nature, he is a son of heaven, but he is too ignorant to think clearly about the rise and fall of his race."
"I just said that the number of the Night Clan is constant when it is born, and gradually decreases over the years. This is because we can give birth to offspring without the union of men and women, but it will not take long after the offspring are born. As a mother, The Night Clan will fall. This is a kind of inheritance and change of power. The power of laws given to the Night Clan by heaven and earth seems to be limited."
"So under various traditions, the lives of the Night Clan will become less and less. One day, they will completely return to the world of the Sun. Taking from nature and returning to nature are just bubbles produced by accidental collisions in history."
"In such a race, one day, I... was born."
Xun Guang looked at Lu Chen through the darkness, "I was born in the eternal night."
Lu Chen's sword intention was restrained and there was no tit-for-tat confrontation. He knew that Xun Guang would not take action at this time, and he also knew that the other party had no intention of delaying time.
A strange thing happened. In the unrestricted fighting arena of the Supreme Athletic Conference, two powerful geniuses from different worlds actually chatted about the past. The scene was peaceful and strange.
"Then, since you were not killed, something must have happened. Lu Chen asked and asked that he was actually okay. If it were Chu Zihang here and he didn't let Xun Guang finish his sentence, he probably wouldn't be willing to continue fighting.
He was just curious about Xun Guang's story, or in other words, curious about things related to the Secret Blood of God.
"Yes, I was not killed because my mother escaped with me."
Mentioning this matter, a trace of sadness flashed across Xun Guang's face, an expression he had never shown in front of the world.
How many years have passed since people in the Zhiyang world mentioned him and only recalled his glorious legends in ancient times. How could they imagine that the invincible Master Xun Guang would also be sad?
"The Night Clan is a unique race. It has considerable strength and a certain amount of wisdom since birth. It can understand the words of intelligent creatures and can think. It is much stronger than ordinary human babies. Therefore, from the first day I was born, Since the beginning of time, there have been memories.”
Xun Guang slowly narrated, as if in the dark realm he had created, he had returned to the extremely dark place where there was no sky.
"My mother secretly gave birth to me first. She didn't leave the house where she lived for a long time. She held me in her arms, made me laugh, and told me many stories...stories from outside."
Xun Guang looked back with reminiscence, "Based on our current dating system, my mother should have had three thousand people at that time.
The number of years has passed, which is basically half of the maximum life limit of a Night Clan. At her age, as long as she is baptized by darkness at the altar of the extremely dark place, she can conceive a child and give birth to the next generation of the Night Clan. This is how I was born. "
After I was born, my mother's strength was getting worse day by day, but she was still considered a strong person. She was much stronger than me now. She was different from other Night Clan people. She had never stepped out of the extreme darkness. However, I seemed to know a lot about the outside world. Later I found out that when the explorer came to the dark land, my mother was responsible for receiving him. Through communication, my mother learned many things about the outside world. . "
"Since then, my mother has become a special case among the Night Clan. She longs for the outside world, but is not allowed to go out because of the clan rules. She has repeatedly spoken within the clan and suggested that they should go out and have a look, instead of just using the dark law to invade. To dye the world and reclaim the power of darkness, they should witness the colorful things outside with their own eyes."
"But the Night Clan is very old-fashioned. This is tradition. It can also be said that it is the restriction engraved deep in the soul of the Night Clan when the world was born. Mother broke through this restriction, her thinking was liberated, and her incomparable desire The outside world, longing for the light outside, longing for the colorful life of all living beings..."
"In the third month after I was born, the elders of the Night Clan came to visit according to the estimated time of birth to check the inheritance status of my mother. Once they found out that I was a boy, I would be drowned and then buried in the Holy Land. A ceremony is held on the altar, allowing me to disperse into the pure power of dark law and return to the extremely dark place."
Hearing this, Lu Chen saw that Xun Guang was silent and said lightly, "But you survived." "
Xun Guang sighed: "Yes, I survived and my mother took me to escape. It was a grand escape, quiet and terrifying in the eternal darkness, with endless pursuers from all directions. We are the entire Night Clan." A traitor, this is a provocation to the Night Clan’s countless chronological beliefs and a violation of the rules.”
"I remember that day before the escape, my mother held me in her arms all day long. Her eyes flashed with struggle and endless thoughts. But when I reached out and touched her face, she smiled and squeezed it. With a smile on my face, I said, "Isn't this boy pretty cute..."
"Then my mother packed up the things in the house, picked up weapons that she had not touched for hundreds of years, wrapped me in a piece of cloth, and hung it on her chest, because she was afraid that she would not be able to protect herself if the enemy behind her attacked me. I."
Xun Guang's voice was calm, but there was a hint of anger. The anger had no origin, but Lu Chen felt it.
"A great mother."
Lu Chen praised, he has always been a qualified listener.
"My mother took me to escape from the clan. During this period, I experienced several battles and killed several strong men of the Night clan. In the eyes of the Night clan, this is probably an untold crime, but to me, my mother is like The sun in the darkness, so I never believe in any remarks about sin and blood. Many things in the world are relative."
Xun Guang continued with emotion: "In the end, my mother took me to the edge of the extremely dark land. There was a barrier built by the Night Clan there, but it was just a gathering of natural forces that had been reinforced. That kind of strength could not stop it at all. She can't live with her mother in her heyday. It's just the confinement of the Ye Clan's thinking that prevents the Ye Clan from ever going to the outside world.
"Very close...very close...my mother kept saying this on the road. He was already seriously injured, and his pace was getting slower and slower. He was about to reach the edge of the barrier, and on the other side of the darkness was At one end, we seem to have seen the rising sun in the outside world, but this is all an illusion. Under the shroud of the law of darkness, there is no light from the outside world."
"My mother fell. She fell to the last three feet in front of the barrier. She was nailed to the ground by countless pitch-black spears. The power of the law sealed her, making it impossible for her to get up again, but she was pressed against her body. But I was unscathed. She used her last strength to release me from her arms and stretched out her trembling hands..."
Xun Guang's voice was also a little trembling... He pushed me forward with a ferocious expression. For a baby who was only three months old, I had never seen such a ferocious expression on my mother's face. I was frightened at that time. My mother Shouldn't it be beautiful and gentle?
"I didn't understand at the time. The torture-like pain and the anxiety in her heart made her do just that.
She knew she couldn't go outside, but she wanted me to see it, and she wanted me to survive. She shouted, 'The last road is only three feet away, you have to run there by yourself..."
"Seeing me in a daze, she roared and shouted, 'Run! Run! Run... I only remember these sounds in my ears. I don't know how many words she said, run, but I finally came to my senses. , started to move, I climbed up from the ground, running with my immature hands and feet, trying to cross the last area and reach the light."
Hearing this, even Lu Chen became nervous. Although he knew the outcome, he was still worried about the immature child back then. Xun Guang's story awakened some bad memories in him.
"Did you run out?"
Lu Chen asked.
Xun Guang shook his head, "I don't understand at all. It's just that my mother asked me to run, so I ran. But in fact, no matter how weak the barrier was, it was not something a baby could pass through. I was blocked. I was at a loss. After all, He is a newborn child, no matter how smart he is and how many things he can understand, the biggest thing in his heart is nothing but attachment to his mother."
"So after I hit the wall, I turned back in confusion. When I saw that I hit the wall, I stopped shouting and became very calm. At that time, several figures had descended from all around, all of them were elders of the Night Clan. I can no longer remember how they cursed us for being so rebellious and heinous. I only remember that I stumbled back, sat down, and hugged my mother’s face.”
Xun Guang paused for a moment, and his words were very sharp: "Finally, I went out."
Lu Chen's face was full of questions. It felt like he was half-listening to a story and the other party told you the ending directly. What's more, he already knew the ending. He just wanted to know the key process.
"what happened?"
Lu Chen asked.
Xun Guang was silent, as if he was unwilling to mention the last thing that happened, or to think about it. That was the reason why he hated the original laws of the Night Clan.
"I said before that when every Night Clan member reaches a certain age, he will choose to give birth to an heir and pass on his power. Do you know what the method of inheritance is?"
Xun Guang used a question, but before Lu Chen could answer, he said: "It's killing and devouring. The child kills the mother and seizes her power. In the process of inheritance, the more cruel the killing method, the more The more power you can inherit.”
Lu Chen frowned after hearing this, "Can't we just pass it on and wait for the next generation to grow naturally? This way, the number of the Night Clan will not decrease sharply."
Xun Guang shook his head, "This is not some tradition or dogma, but the instinct engraved in the bones of the pure Night Clan. It is impossible to become a pure Night Clan by natural growth. When the children of the Night Clan are just born, they can only It is an unformed seed, and it can only start to grow after it is irrigated, otherwise it will not gain strength."
"At a certain age, when the seeds are ready to receive power, the aggression and desire for life growth deep in the seeds will urge the seeds to seize nutrients, which is the change of inheritance. In this process, The Night Clan is uncontrollable and completely dominated by the instinct of life."
Xunguang narrated, with a pair of dark eyes filled with anger, sadness, regret and other emotions, as if he had returned to that night in a dark place.
"I only remember that my mother's face was very warm, and I can't remember anything in between. But when I woke up again, there was only a fragmented mother left in front of me. Only her head was still intact. My mother was very strong, and she was still there at that time. There is a trace of spiritual thought remaining, and the gentle smile that I was familiar with in the past is on my face..."
When Xun Guang spoke, his voice was trembling, "But I was extremely frightened at the time. I didn't know what was happening, but I felt that the power in my body had become stronger. It was like an infinite law of darkness, and the Night Clan was also in chaos, because The inheritor of your god's secret blood has arrived and is massacring the members of the Night Clan. The elders of the Night Clan who were chasing me and my mother also fell down one after another. In the chaos, I looked at my mother blankly... .”
"...The Night Clan has no name, because we believe that we are born from heaven and earth, and names are unnecessary. We will eventually return to nature, and there is no need to do those individualized things."
"But at that time, my mother looked at me tenderly, and the look in her eyes gradually
Loss, she said, "You don't have a name yet, you should have a name." At that time, I could only cry while holding my mother who was about to die, but in the end I calmed down, watching my mother's gradually losing energy, and waited for her quietly. Final instructions."
"At the moment when the secret blood warrior's sword cut through the sky, the rising sun rose outside, and the light shone on my back. For the first time, I saw my mother's face clearly under the light. She was smiling. Said: 'Let's call it Xunguang,'
