"I have more and more questions, and no one can answer them for me. I have to explore on my own, absorb as much knowledge as possible, think, learn, and do everything I can."
"You found the answer and decided to do this research?"
"You can say that."
Yinshan responded in the affirmative, but then said: "But that may not be called an answer. It is closer to the concept of 'direction'."
Jing Yingrong looked at the other person, with a faint light flowing in his eyes.
Words as soft as smoke came from her lips:
"Is it 'civilized'?"
Yinshan's body shook, and the wind and waves suddenly rose.
Jing Yingrong continued:
"The things studied here, in addition to allowing the monster clan to gain greater development space in cultivation, may also allow the monster clan to give birth to an independent civilization and weaken the influence of human society on the monster clan. I judge from this that what you have explored As a result, it’s about civilization.”
"The Beauty of the Sun and the Moon"
After saying this, there was a long silence.
A smile suddenly spread across Yinshan's face.
She has a majestic appearance, and her smile gives off an open air of clear mountains and rivers.
"Yes, it's civilization."
The usually solemn tone was a little more high-spirited, and it was unprecedentedly lively.
"All my questions can be answered by tracing back to the source."
Yinshan's eyes lit up with astonishing light, like lights shining through the ages.
"The civilization of the human race is an incomparable treasure. It ignores the gap in force and transcends racial barriers, which makes the demon race yearn for it, so there are demons that transform into humans.
The demon race speaks human language, recognizes human characters, transforms into a human body, and adapts to the human race's systems and concepts, all in response to the call of civilization. However, the ancestors only knew how to imitate, and only had the appearance of a human race, but did not understand its inner secrets. Therefore, to this day, the demon clan still does not have its own civilization.
Without civilization, how can we talk about history? If there is no history, how can we learn about the past and know the future? The demon clan has lasted for tens of millions of years. Except for the changes caused by the influence of the human clan, it has almost stagnated in all aspects. The reason is the same. "
After saying these words, Yinshan pursed his lips slightly, and the light in his eyes settled into a deeper color.
Jing Yingrong said thoughtfully, "The development of the demon clan is indeed different from that of the human race."
Yinshan: "The process of human race from primitive ignorance to shaking the world with its weak body can be seen as the embodiment of each stage of the civilization process, and the sprout of monastic civilization is one of the most important turning points."
Hearing this, Jing Yingrong's expression changed and he took out a volume from the ring.
"Have you also read this book? There is a passage in it that is very similar to what you said."
The book was "The Exploration of Human Race's Path to Seeking Tao" that she had bought at Fubao Building in Changhuan Mansion. At that time, she also bought several other books in the same series.
Yinshan took the book from Jing Yingrong's hand and brushed the author's signature with his thumb.
"I wrote this."
Jing Yingrong: "..."
"In order to sort out knowledge and integrate ideas, I simply wrote a book. The response was pretty good, and I made a fortune from it."
Yinshan returned the book to Jing Yingrong, turned around and walked forward. She ignored this little episode and continued with the topic:
"The formation of civilization is so difficult. What I am doing now is not enough."
Jing Yingrong: "You still need to meet a prerequisite."
Yinshan paused slightly.
"really."
Until they reached a gate, the two of them were speechless.
Beside the closed door, Yan Lan and a woman stood quietly, as if they were waiting here specifically.
The woman was the master surnamed Zhao who was entrusted by Yan Lan to preside over the formation when Jing Yingrong discovered the building complex.
Seeing the arrival of Yin Shan and Jing Ying Rong, Yan Lan and Master Zhao bowed their heads and saluted.
Yinshan: "It's been a long time."
Yan Lan was silent, and Master Zhao responded: "Your Majesty's words are serious about matters within your scope."
After saying that, she cast spells to unlock the many formations and restrictions on the door.
The dazzling light flashed away, and with a dull roar, the door slowly opened.
Yin Shan walked in first, Yan Lan made a "please" gesture to Jing Yingrong, followed behind Jing Yingrong, while Master Zhao stayed where he was.
When passing Master Zhao, Jing Yingrong suddenly stopped.
She turned her head and her eyes fell on Master Zhao's face, showing a serious look.
"You look familiar."
Master Zhao was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes to look at the woman in front of him, and then glanced back and forth at Yinshan and Yanlan. Seeing that neither of them wanted to interfere, his eyes returned to the woman's face and looked carefully again, but still I just feel confused.
"I seem to have never seen your Majesty before."
Jing Yingrong repeatedly traced the other person's facial features with her eyes. After a while, she seemed to have remembered something and asked, "Are you from Lan Xi's Zhao family?"
Master Zhao looked shocked, and instinctively wanted to refute, but then realized that his reaction had revealed his secret, so he had to say: "How do you know, Your Majesty?"
Jing Yingrong: "You and Zhao Jinxu have some similarities in appearance, so I think you look familiar. Do you know him?"
"Zhao Jinxu?"
Master Zhao frowned, smacked the name in his mouth several times, and finally said, "He is my brother's child. I left home early and only heard about him a few times, so I couldn't remember it for a moment. Wang Zun Please forgive me."
Jing Yingrong nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and stepped through the door, leaving the other party looking hesitant to speak.
Behind the door is a very high space. The dome cannot be seen at a glance. The light on the ground is discernible. The surroundings are very empty. There is a huge circular pool in the center.
In the pool, there was a gleaming liquid surging, like a slurry formed by melted starlight.
Glittering particles as tiny as dust floated up from the liquid, gathering into more than a dozen hazy and thin bands of light, flying like fairy silk, swaying upwards, and submerging themselves into the shadows above.
Yinshan walked to the pool and said to Jing Yingrong: "This is the core hub and the source of power. If it is destroyed, everything here will come to an end, and it will take at least a hundred years to recover."
Jing Yingrong lowered her head and stared at the scene in the pool that looked like flowing nebulae. The flowing light reflected in her eyes, which made her look magnificent and dazzling.
Yinshan's voice was deep: "It is very easy to destroy it. It is much less laborious than destroying this place."
Jing Yingrong turned to look at her, expressing her inquiry with her eyes.
Yinshan looked at her.
"Anything studied here, if successful, will definitely be detrimental to the human race. After you have seen it, you have two choices: destroy this place, or stay out of it. I brought you here because I hope that if you want to To destroy this place, you can consider this compromise method.”
Her eyes were calm, as if she wasn't worried about Jing Yingrong's choice at all.
Yan Lan stood behind silently, her fingers clenched unconsciously under her sleeves.
Jing Yingrong only thought for a very short time before taking action.
She stretched out her palm, palm facing down, and made a downward motion toward the pool.
"There is another option."
