In the following years, Su Chang'an's cultivation level improved even more rapidly, and he did not slow down at all just because he stepped into the king's rank.
In less than ten years, he has directly passed through the three stages of kingship, and is about to aspire to the strongest realm in the world.
If it were placed in the era before Yi Ran's arrival, there would be no other person in the world who could reach this level in his early fifties.
But in that era, there were many who could rival or even be more powerful than Su Changan.
But Su Changan didn't know this. In his mind, the only meaning of practice was to kill the monsters and build a stable home for his family.
So even if he knows that there are peers who are stronger than him, he actually doesn't care.
But just when he was about to enter the imperial rank, someone approached him and asked him if he would join them.
Su Changan is not a fool, so he naturally wants to find out his origin and purpose.
However, Su Changan did not expect that the man would not hold back at all and clearly stated the purpose of the forces behind him.
It was only then that Su Changan knew that the emperor was not the end, and that the saint really existed.
It's just that their existence not only failed to bring a good future to mankind, but was even the root cause of such troubled times!
And that story can be traced back to countless thousands of years ago.
…
…
In ancient times, magical beasts suddenly began to appear on the continent, and then dispersed at an extremely fast speed.
They wreaked havoc across the world, destroying all life, and almost occupied almost the entire Lingxu Continent within a few years.
In a desperate situation, human beings can only survive in the cracks, and they are all struggling to find ways to fight against the monsters.
After hundreds of years of exploration, the number of humans has been reduced to the point where they are on the verge of extinction.
But it was at that time that someone finally began to understand the way of nature and created the original practice method.
At that time, the cultivation methods were very simple and could only make their lives a little easier.
However, when the path of spiritual practice begins to appear, more people will embark on this path.
As more and more people began to delve into these abilities, five people finally created magic.
So they called this power the power of elements, and the power in their bodies as magic.
After that, with lifespans far exceeding those of ordinary people, they began to spread this power to the world and light up the fire of spiritual practice.
They believe that as long as all humans have such power, a single spark can eventually start a prairie fire.
They were the first five people to comprehend the power of the elements. They were the saints that Yiran knew in the academy and only existed in books!
In the process of spreading the method of cultivation and teaching people to feel the power of the elements, their cultivation gradually became higher and they became the leaders of all practitioners.
Then he began to define the realm of spiritual practice for human beings who are struggling to seek vitality.
Only two more practitioners with ridiculously powerful talents appeared. The power of the elements they felt was something that no one else could feel.
One of them can distort space, and the other can change time. Many extremely difficult battles were fought because of the magic performed by these two people, which changed the situation of the battle and allowed humans to win.
The five people who spread the method of spiritual practice are revered as saints by the world because of their preaching.
The two people who understood the magic of space and time were revered as saints because of their contributions to the people of the world.
As for the Five Saints, it will be much later.
Because many humans cannot actually practice magic, but they are not willing to rely on the protection of others.
They also want to step into the battlefield and protect their loved ones behind them.
So in the midst of countless bloody battles, someone finally felt the energy that existed in his body.
Then he began to learn from the cultivation methods of the Seven Saints, and condensed another powerful force in his body that was different from magic power, and that was inner strength.
He created another avenue to the sky for "ordinary" ordinary people.
After that, he went further and further on this road and spread the method of cultivation to the world.
So another saint appeared in this world.
At this point, all the Eight Saints, the first and most pure human race, have appeared.
With their leadership, the human race quickly gained the ability to fight against the Warcraft locally.
It began to get out of the situation of continuous defeat and imminent destruction, and began to be able to compete with the World of Warcraft.
There is no intelligence in low-level monsters, so after a hundred years of hard work, humans started from local battles and gradually changed the entire world.
In just a hundred years, a thousand extremely powerful practitioners appeared in the human race.
Divided by the realm defined by the saint, they are the highest realm under the saint - the emperor.
However, even though they were emperors, they still had to look up at the eight people who were almost impossible to catch up with.
Another hundred years followed. During these hundred years, eight saints led thousands of emperors across the world, strangling all the powerful monsters throughout the continent.
But when they came to the center of the continent, they discovered that the disaster of Warcraft had never been something they could solve.
In other words, this world is going to exterminate the human race!
There, they saw a huge hole in the sky. As an extremely strange aura emanated from there, monsters of various sizes were falling into the world.
Warcraft all come from outside the sky, and there is an endless supply!
After the truth was discovered, that place was later called the Land of Heavenly Breaking.
After all the saints and emperors joined forces and used space and time as containers to unleash an unparalleled attack that could not dispel the strange aura, everyone was in despair.
The broken ground could not be repaired, so the battle that everyone thought could determine the outcome in one battle turned into a protracted war with no end in sight.
When the emperors came to their senses and paid attention to the practitioners in the world again, they discovered that the entire continent's cultivation resources had been almost exhausted by them.
So for hundreds of years after that, no practitioners as powerful as them appeared again.
But many of them began to die one after another because of hidden illnesses and age.
They have known for a long time that practice only delays the arrival of death, and it is impossible for them to survive for a long time.
But they didn't expect that death would come so quickly.
So much so that in just a hundred years, 90% of the emperors had fallen, so that it was necessary to rely on saints to support the human race.
But even if all eight saints and a hundred emperors stay in the land of heaven and earth, it is still impossible to kill all the monsters here.
So we can only let some of the monsters flow into the world and let them start to have their own territory.
The human race, which once again had control over the entire continent, could only watch as the territory of the monsters grew larger and larger. Fortunately, after the number of monsters reached a critical value, no more monsters would come to the land. Let those saints and the few remaining emperors feel a little more at ease.
The place where the Warcraft lived was later called the Warcraft Forest.
Later, when the first batch of emperors all fell under the passage of time, new emperors finally began to be born.
They guarded the borders for the human race, guarded the human race's territory from being invaded, and became the true emperors.
But what they can do is, after all, just guard the human race's territory from being invaded.
The lifespan of an emperor is roughly a thousand years, so a thousand years becomes a cycle of reincarnation.
The old emperor falls, and the new emperor is born.
This kind of reincarnation has allowed humans and monsters to reach a contradictory but objective balance, making the strength and territory of the two parties almost the same.
But when the ninth reincarnation came back, which was close to ten thousand years, the balance was suddenly broken.
Because those saints who had not been born for a long time discovered after searching for countless years that they themselves were just ordinary people, and they would also fall into the world due to the passage of time.
At first, they were not confident about leaving all the burdens in the hands of those emperors, so they told all the emperors this fact.
The only way to solve the shortage of saints' life span is to replenish their original vitality.
What is original vitality?
In fact, it is nothing more than the source of life for all things, including essence, blood, body, and so on.
So all the emperors volunteered to die, using their original vitality to prolong the lives of the saints, allowing them to continue to suppress the world, leaving only some weaker emperors to assist the saints.
The reason why most emperors are willing to die is because they know that the end of their cultivation is the imperial rank.
But the world cannot be without saints!
Therefore, they are willing to use everything they have to extend the saint's life.
And even if those saints use those origins to increase their life span, they can only proclaim themselves, and wait until the human race faces a desperate situation to show up again and save the world from danger.
It was just that at that time, everyone felt that this was what saints should do, but no one thought that what they did was really just to live longer.
Later, every once in a while, powerful monsters would appear, breaking the hard-won balance and killing the powerful Cholera Time.
Later, many powerful monks will appear in the human race to resist the invasion of monsters.
A small calamity for thousands of years and a big calamity for tens of thousands of years have become a new cycle of reincarnation.
The only thing that remains unchanged is the immortal saint.
However, the self-proclaimed saint is also unable to withstand the passage of ten thousand years of time. Whenever the great era of ten thousand years comes, countless powerful monsters and powerful emperors appear.
They will unblock them, then kill the monsters, swallow the original vitality of all monsters and emperors, and then declare themselves to sleep again.
…
…
The story ended here, but the man still couldn't help but said to Su Changan:
"Perhaps those emperors at the beginning really saw the power of the saints and saw the saints benefiting the world."
"But in the eyes of the later emperors, what these saints did was just to keep themselves alive, and to survive only to survive."
As a lobbyist, he is not easily swayed by emotions.
But when he saw Su Changan's surprised but still clear eyes, he couldn't help showing an angry look.
Of course, it was the indignation against those saints!
So he went on to say:
"Why can't the emperor become a saint?"
"Perhaps it's because those immortals steal the merits of heaven and earth and occupy the destiny of the human race."
"Moreover, the records say that the skills we practice were handed down from them. It cannot be said that it is because of these skills that the geniuses in history were blocked from the threshold of becoming saints!"
At this point, he seemed to feel that he had said too much, so he looked at Su Changan eagerly, hoping to get a satisfactory answer.
Although Su Changan believed what the other party said, he did not give a direct answer. He just said:
"I believe your story, but I haven't stepped into the imperial rank yet, and I don't know when the so-called great world will come."
"But I can guarantee that if it is as you said, when the saint wakes up again to seize the original vitality, I will definitely stand by your side."
After receiving such an answer, the man left without demanding more.
Just the seeds of resistance have been planted in Su Changan's heart.
