"The Night Dire clan has a group structure similar to that of ants. High-level Night Dires are equivalent to the queens of the ant clan. They generally do not move and rely entirely on their mid-level and low-level Night Dires to be nourished. The high-level Night Dires evolve into King-level Night Dires. After that, he has extremely high wisdom and moves more freely. Only one King-level Night Dire can be born out of one hundred King-level Night Dires, and only one Great King-level Night Dire can be born out of one hundred King-level Night Dires."
"The Corpse Emperor himself is only a Grand Lord-level Night Dire. There were about eighteen Grand Lord-level Night Dires in my time, and most of them died in the battle. My ability is very restrained against the Lord-level Night Dire. There are usually only three or four of them. The Great Lord-level Night Dire is no match for me either. As powerful as the Lord-level Night Dire, they are also spiritual creatures, and they still need to attach themselves to the corpses of other creatures in order to exert their maximum strength.
And the Corpse King found the corpse of an ancient strong man from nowhere. The corpse that looked like a human but not a human made its strength undergo a qualitative change. It was no longer afraid of the sun, so my restraint on it was greatly reduced. In a one-on-one fight, I would not be its opponent. I was assisted by the Four Elephants Venerables, and they temporarily entangled the Corpse Emperor. I used the forbidden secret technique to seal it at the cost of my own life. "The goddess of transparency talked about the war in the past.
"Venerable Four Elephants? Are they still alive?" Zhan Yue asked curiously.
"I don't know. The war didn't end after I died, but I think it's unlikely that I'll be alive. A mysterious person has a lifespan of five hundred, a spiritual god has a lifespan of one thousand, and the true state above the spiritual god only has a lifespan of three thousand. It's already passed now. For more than three thousand years, if they had not had any special adventures, they would have died." The Tongming Goddess replied.
Zhan Yue continued to ask: "Then there is no immortality in this world?"
"No, there are similar records in ancient books, but they are all unbelievable. There are many evil methods to extend life span. I once accepted nine disciples with extraordinary potential. They were all war orphans. Under my guidance, they all eventually entered the university. After reaching the Spiritual God Realm, the outside world called him Jiu Yaoxing. One of the villains obtained an evil skill that could greatly extend his life, but that evil skill actually required a large number of human spirit beads. For this reason, he did not hesitate to set a trap and isolate The news caused a city of 300,000 people to be gradually captured by Night Dire. He hid behind and harvested little by little, and got all the 300,000 spirit beads."
The Tongming Goddess recalled this past event, and there was still indescribable sadness in her tone.
"Later I found out the truth, executed him with my own hands, and completely erased the evil deeds..."
"No wonder." Zhan Yue remembered what Cheng Lu had said before about the only ultimate prohibition issued by the Goddess Tongming herself. Anyone who secretly hides or uses human spirit beads for other purposes will be sentenced to death.
"Why is there no record of this in the book? Jiu Yaoxing... maybe they still have descendants alive." Zhan Yue also felt a little emotional. He trained the orphan from an ordinary child to a master of the spiritual realm and a lucid goddess. It must have taken a lot of effort and thought, but in the end, I couldn't execute one of them with my own hands.
"Probably because that person was my disciple, and they were concerned about my reputation, so they didn't disclose it to the public. No one is not afraid of death. If this evil technique is allowed to spread, I'm afraid there will be more than one traitor in the world. At that time, People are more terrifying than night-dreams." The Tongming Goddess lamented that immortality is a great temptation for anyone, especially those who are about to run out of fuel.
"But there are still people like my sister in the world, who would rather sacrifice their lives to seal the Corpse Emperor." Zhan Yue said sincerely. It's no wonder that people in later generations regard her as a god.
The Goddess of Tongming smiled bitterly and remained silent for a while, but she didn't know whether she should say something or not. Then she told Zhan Yue that after all, she had nothing to care about after resurrecting her life.
"I am not as noble as you think. The reason why I am willing to sacrifice my life to seal the Corpse Emperor is, firstly, because there is really no other way to deal with the Corpse Emperor; secondly, I am too tired and want to escape."
Zhan Yue was stunned when he heard this, and there was an unexpected gain.
"What saddened me most about the war was not the power and ruthlessness of the Dire. It was their biological instinct. It was a battle between two races. So I actually have no hatred for the Dire. You can blame the wolf for eating your sheep. , but I can't complain about why wolves eat meat instead of grass. The despicability of people's hearts is what really hurts me. I am in a high position and have access to a lot of information. Even in the face of extremely dangerous situations, they still have to plot against each other. , taking advantage of each other; even I, carrying the name of the goddess, was pushed forward, how true was their respect? Until I found out about the traitor, I was tired after all, I don’t know What is it that I am trying to protect? Why do even my closest disciples become like this? So in the final battle, I just want to die. After I die, it will no longer be my business to toss them however they like. Yes." The Tongming Goddess revealed her true thoughts to outsiders for the first time.
"That's why sister said she was escaping?" Zhan Yue felt very distressed after hearing this. "But can you really let it go? The first thing you did after waking up was to learn about history and personally investigate the current situation of the Night Dire clan."
"I...I don't know. Even though I'm dead, things are still unfinished. Maybe my mission has not been completed yet." The Tongming Goddess said helplessly. She wanted to escape and even begged for death. However, Three thousand years after his death, he actually came back to life in this state.
"Mission? I don't think so. Maybe God loves my sister so much that he wants to let her live a new life and enjoy the happiness that she didn't enjoy before?" Zhan Yue said, and he couldn't escape his involvement in this matter.
"You know how to comfort people and enjoy happiness? If you really want to enjoy happiness, you have to be able to take charge of yourself." The goddess of transparency said with a smile.
"The sun is going down. Sure enough, I'm only halfway up the mountain. I'm afraid I'll have to spend the night in the forest tonight. Fortunately, the ferocious beasts around have been driven away by the patrolling generals, and I'm not afraid of the night dire." Yue searched for a while and finally found a cliff. There was a gap like a cave entrance below. It was not deep, but it was enough for Rong Nai to lie down alone. He found some gravel and weeds and put the gap into the cliff. The big gap is blocked, so it is very secretive. He didn't dare to fall asleep deeply, but he could sit cross-legged to practice and regain some energy at the same time. He was always thinking about improving his cultivation.
The silence of the mountain forest was eerie, not even the sound of insects was heard, it was like a lifeless world. After all, all the wolves, tigers and leopards had been driven away. However, in the second half of the night, Zhan Yue actually heard two voices. How could someone go up the mountain so late? This courage is not ordinary.
"Ding Ding, what should we do? The king's birthday will be in two days. If we cannot satisfy the king, we are afraid that we will be fed to fish." A voice said.
"Dangdang, it's not all your fault. If you want to brew wine, can't you just steal it from humans? Huh, you said brewing it yourself can show your loyalty. Now, it's all gone! complained another voice.
"Can you blame me for this? How do I know who the hell set fire to half the mountain and destroyed all the fruit wine we brewed. I originally thought that if the two of us could learn to make wine, the king would be better off. If you look at us, we won’t be doing garbage-picking work every day.”
"It's the Mandrill tribe. I didn't expect them to be extinct yet." The Tongming Goddess can sense many things around Zhan Yue through the Sun Stone.
"Mandrills, aren't they afraid of night terrors?" Zhan Yue asked curiously. Not only did the two mandrills speak in human language, there was no trace of fear in their tone.
"Mandrills are not on the diet of the night dire, so they are generally not attacked by the night dire. Legend has it that their ancestors ate a highly poisonous fruit and survived, but it left an aura in the bloodline soul, which the night dire hates very much. That kind of aura is not willing to swallow up the souls of mandrills, nor is it willing to take over their bodies. Mandrills are average in strength and generally have low IQs. They also know that their low IQs are easy to be deceived, so they are generally unwilling to communicate with humans."
"It's okay if they are not hungry ghosts that eat people, but how do they understand human language?" Zhan Yuexin communicated with the goddess through the sacred stone but did not make any sound. He can only say that this gem is omnipotent and is worthy of being the most cherished by the goddess. treasure.
"I don't know either. I don't know much about mandrills. Thousands of years ago, mandrills were a race with an extremely weak sense of existence. Their strength was average. The strongest in the race was not at the level of a mysterious person. They did not participate in the battle between humans and Night Dire. , it is very difficult for them to reproduce, and it always feels like they are on the verge of extinction, but they did not expect to survive until now. Compared with the dragons, who are humans' inevitable allies, they will not even leave their names in the history books." Tongmingshen The woman explained.
"Ding Ding, do you smell anything?" one of them said.
"Yeah, it smells like humans, what should we do? Should we run away? The king told us not to come into contact with humans."
"He's hiding under the crack in the rock. He's so sneaky that he doesn't look very good at first glance. Dangdang, I have an idea. Let him help us find a bar, so that we can also pay homage to the king."
"You are indeed the smartest idiot in the Mandrill tribe. No wonder the king praises you, but what should you do?"
"Hey, let's pretend to be the mountain god, and then let him bring wine to us. Humans believe in this very much. I read it in the book."
"Wow, can you still read human books?"
"Hey, it's all about little people, why can't I understand it?"
Zhan Yue was speechless. Can you discuss the strategy in a lower voice? If you conspire loudly here, I'm really afraid that you can't hear me. No wonder the goddess said that their IQs are very low. But he also knew that this mandrill had a very keen sense of smell and he had been discovered.
