"Abandoned son? What do you mean..."
Shi Cheng endured the strong discomfort in his body and asked. He did not expect that the first time he fought against the ancient ferocious beast, from taking the advantage at the beginning to being completely defeated in the end, it happened so quickly.
He also didn't expect that the power of blood, which he thought was just a legend, actually allowed him to save his life.
In short, the experience of this day was indeed quite magical for Shi Cheng.
Li Yi glanced at him.
"You know now that your bloodline abilities are true. Don't you still believe the rumors in heaven?"
"After so many years, everyone just regards this as a legend, right? No one will believe it."
Shi Cheng showed a helpless smile. In fact, even he himself didn't quite believe it, even though he joined Yu Tianjian.
But that's just because Yu Tianjian's treatment is really good.
"That's right, faith without benefits has no meaning to human beings. The so-called faith can either give people spiritual comfort or have practical benefits, and humans are more inclined to practical benefits."
Browsing the information from the system, Li Yi was also studying seriously while popularizing science with Shicheng.
It turns out that there was indeed an organization called Heavenly Court in this world in ancient times. The name alone is enough to illustrate its strength.
The meaning of Heaven is a group of people who live in the sky and look down on the earth. According to the system, anyone who can join this organization must have a dominator level at the least, and an unknown one at the highest, but they can be among a group of dominator-level strong men. The one who stands out from the crowd will naturally not be an ordinary master.
Although I don’t know why such a large group of people with terrifying strength are willing to hide in this world, but in short, aside from other things, the true strength of this world is so powerful that it is unimaginable. situation.
"Then I don't know. According to you, the sky is big and the earth is big. The sky is obviously many, many times bigger than the ground. So why are these people in heaven willing to stay in the sky like this? Couldn't they? Going somewhere else?"
Sure enough, after hearing what Li Yi said, Shi Cheng immediately asked the same question.
Li Yi couldn't answer this question. After thinking about it, he tried to speculate from a perspective that the other party could understand.
"How should I put it? You can regard the land you live in as a space, but as long as you leave this land and reach the sky, you will see more than just this land. Perhaps in your view, these people in heaven They are just looking down at your land, but who knows that they are only looking at this land?"
Unexpectedly, Shi Cheng's understanding ability was quite high, and he quickly understood what he meant.
"You mean, as long as you stand high enough, the scenery you see will be completely different, and it may not even be the land you are standing on? Are you standing high and looking far away?"
Li Yi nodded.
"It can indeed be understood that way, so you don't know whether those people in heaven are looking at that piece of land, or you just think you are looking here, but in fact they are not looking at it at all."
Hearing this, Shi Cheng couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
"That's right, this possibility is really possible. After listening to your explanation, I roughly understand that maybe Yutianjian has not received instructions from heaven for so many years. It is really possible that he has already communicated with them. It’s about not taking this land seriously.”
After a pause, Shi Cheng suddenly frowned, as if he had thought of something.
"No, you are talking about abandoned children, which means those people used to be people in heaven, but they are no longer in heaven, right? Then why do they still appear? What's the reason?"
In fact, what Shi Cheng wants to ask is, since they don't care anymore, why do they still come down? More importantly, so many people can suppress Taoying steadily without taking action.
This makes no sense.
It's like having already gone to a very good university, but suddenly turning around and seriously doing your elementary school homework, and taking away your elementary school homework.
It seemed like he was going to be checked by someone.
It doesn’t make sense!
A group of big guys who have reached the lowest level of dominance are dispatched collectively just to write an elementary school homework. No matter how hard they think, they can't find a reasonable explanation.
Li Yi nodded.
"You're right. I couldn't think of any reasons at first, but if you put their identities into it, you can understand."
"Identity? You mean...the abandoned son of heaven?"
Shi Cheng reacted quickly and thought of it immediately.
"That's right! If you say that, it can explain this series of incomprehensible behaviors."
"Well, it seems you're not too stupid."
Li Yi nodded, with a staring look on his face.
Although he found the reason why these abandoned people from heaven captured Tao Xi, it did not solve the actual problem. What he wanted was to clear the customs quickly, but he had been delayed here for a long time.
I originally thought that Tao Hu was the boss guarding the gate, but I didn't expect that he was intercepted halfway, and he was the kind of existence that was so powerful that he had nothing to say.
If the other party is alone, he will think about it a little and use some means to fight off one and regain the ownership of boSS.
But the other party is a group of...
In this group, everyone's strength has reached at least the Dominator level. It can be seen from the ease with which they deal with Taoxie that these abandoned sons of heaven did not become abandoned sons because of their decline in strength.
Then it all makes sense.
The reason why they captured Tao Xi was not because they needed the young Tao Xi himself, but because of his status as a ferocious beast.
In other words, this identity of being a member of the Taotie clan is the real reason why these abandoned sons of heaven arrested the Taotie.
Thinking of this, Li Yi suddenly asked.
"You...I mean, has anyone from the Shi family ever entered the Heavenly Court? Do you know what the conditions are?"
Shi Cheng understood the meaning of Li Yi's words, tilted his head and thought for a while, and finally shook his head.
"According to ancestral records, it seems that no one in our Shi family has joined this organization. Of course, it is not ruled out that there is, but it is not recorded."
Li Yi turned back to look at Shi Cheng.
"What did you think of?"
Although he has the information provided by the system, compared to Shi Cheng, Li Yi still feels that the other party knows much more than he does. More importantly, the other party is not a fool and can detect clues from some small clues. Therefore, Have this question.
Shi Cheng nodded, regardless of his physical weakness, and barely supported his body, looking thoughtful.
"I just think it's a little strange. Take the records in ancestral books for example. Some time periods are recorded in great detail, but I'm not afraid of you laughing. During those periods, my Shi family was at its lowest ebb, but those were the most prosperous periods. , For example, in ancient times, there are only a few records. Except for a few words about hunting ancient ferocious beasts, there are no records. It feels like..."
"Like trying to hide something?"
Li Yi took over his words and continued.
"That's right! I've been reading about my ancestral home since I was a child. I couldn't understand it at first. Logically speaking, if a family's inheritance wants to increase the cohesion of future generations, shouldn't it be a special event about the glorious period? How could this happen? What about such a sentence? After you said it, I finally understood it."
"Maybe it's not that I don't want to write, but that I have some taboo. What is it?"
The two thought for a while, then suddenly looked at each other and said something in unison.
"Heaven!"
"That's right!"
Once the idea is opened, the subsequent reasoning will be very smooth.
Shi Cheng looked very excited, as if he had solved a mystery that had been unsolved for many years.
"For me, first of all, if I follow this line of thinking, then someone in my ancestors must have joined this powerful organization. Perhaps it was to keep it secret, so they chose not to record it. After all, if the predecessors chose to conceal something so long ago, There is simply no way for future generations to know.”
Li Yi continued.
"But about the ancient times, we can't say nothing, so we just recorded one sentence, that we once hunted and killed ancient ferocious beasts. I guess the reason why I only left this sentence is because your ancestor was originally He wanted to show off, but because it was kept secret and could not be recorded, he could only leave this sentence. It not only complied with the principle of confidentiality, but also showed off the power of your Shi family in ancient times. And I guess, the reason why he chose to leave this In a word, it may have something to do with the conditions for him to join the Heavenly Family."
Hearing this, Shi Cheng suddenly realized.
"You mean..."
"right."
Li Yi nodded.
"Hunting or capturing a ferocious beast is one of the conditions for joining the Heavenly Family."
