Su Ziye didn't recognize the old man in front of him.
But he realized that the other party was very strong.
No reason, just pure intuition.
So without much thought, Su Ziye pulled out the Blade of Disillusionment, letting the thin crimson blade slowly glow with little bits of fire.
The old man looked at the Blade of Disillusionment and sighed: "Did Xia say anything when he handed that weapon to you?"
Su Ziye thought for a while and finally shook his head.
Xia actually said something at that time, but it was probably not what the old man wanted to hear.
At least he didn't mention this black and white palace in Cuenca City to Su Ziye, nor the family living in this palace.
"I heard that you left the St Empire when you were fourteen." The old man continued: "Then you quickly joined the academy."
"Then you left the academy without waiting for graduation, and then you were hunted by the empire. When you reappeared in this world, you had become the prince of Dark Star."
The old man looked at the black ceiling above, with a playful expression on his face: "In the past four years, you have done things that many people would not be able to do in forty years."
"I don't know what you want from me." Su Ziye looked at the old man and said calmly.
The old man laughed, a somewhat hoarse laugh, and then he coughed.
He coughed for a long time.
Su Ziye waited quietly.
"I'm going to die," the old man said.
Su Ziye nodded: "All saints will die."
"But even the saints have not lived as long as I have lived." The old man said lightly.
"Let me ask the first question first, why did Dark Star let you come to Cuenca."
Su Ziye thought for a while, and then said: "Three things."
"Let me understand what alaya consciousness is."
"Who is the Alaya Consciousness?"
"And - if the Alaya Consciousness is really born in this world, then let the Alaya Consciousness become hostile to Dark Star."
The old man listened quietly, then smiled: "I can probably answer the first question for you."
"I'm all ears." Su Ziye said calmly.
"My name is Douglas Crawford, and I am the current head of the Crawford family." Douglas said calmly, "I was once a slave of Xia."
Su Ziye said nothing.
"You should know that the clan you were born into is a powerful hidden clan, and its name is the Xiguang clan." Douglas said.
Countless terrifying forces descended on this old body as he read out that forbidden name, trying to tear it into pieces, but in the end they helplessly dissipated.
This is divine punishment that will befall justly on every creature who dares to speak these names.
Except for the heavenly realm.
They are strong enough to withstand this destructive force.
"The Crawford family was born out of an ethnic group as old as the Xiguang family, and even once ascended to the top of all races, but in the end, this ethnic group was destroyed, and the tribesmen were forced to intermarry with ordinary humans, and the power of their blood was destroyed. Continuously dilute to the point of destruction.”
"And it just so happened that, for some purpose, the Xiguang family retained some descendants with relatively strong bloodlines and kept them in captivity to be used as slaves. This is the prototype of our Crawford family."
"The name of our clan is Yeshi."
"When the Yeshi tribe was destroyed, countless tribesmen put in their best efforts and made endless sacrifices, but in the end they were unable to save the fate of the tribe. There was only an ancient legend that was passed down orally among us old immigrants. Come down."
"The Yeshi clan will give birth to a being as powerful as a god. He will be the savior of our clan. He has god-like wisdom, god-like knowledge, god-like power, and god-like compassion."
"He will rely on his own power to raise the Ye Shi Clan from the ruins again, just like a phoenix rising from the ashes. It will only become stronger after being reborn from the ashes."
"And this child is called Alaya Consciousness."
The old man looked at Su Ziye and spoke quietly.
Su Ziye actually didn't believe it.
Why can a child be born as a god?
However, judging from the importance Dark Star places on it, what Douglas said is very likely to be true.
"Alaya Consciousness understands all cause and effect and knows all knowledge. The cause and effect of the world, good and evil, will be connected from his left hand, and then slowly flow out from his right hand."
"Although he is not a saint, he is among the saints."
"Those struggling Yeshi tribe members have prayed and waited for thousands of years, but until the entire tribe was annihilated and turned into slaves, the prophesied savior was still not born."
"The talent of the Yeshi clan lies in their smart minds and insightful eyes. However, after the clan was enslaved by the Xiguang clan, even they will be afraid of the power of our clan, but they are not willing to be completely destroyed. Therefore, they do It was a compromise decision.”
"That is to use civilians to dilute our family's bloodline. After three generations of intermarriage, it is confirmed that only one-eighth of the Yeshi clan's bloodline is left in each specimen, and then a register is created for each specimen. After that, there will be no more Let them intermarry with commoners to avoid further damage to the already thin bloodline."
"But if this is the case, generations of intra-clan intermarriage will cause those diluted bloodlines to reunite, producing unimaginable consequences. Therefore, almost every combination of the Crawford family is carefully designed, and its bloodline cannot be Too far away, as this will cause the blood to be diluted and destroyed, but not too close, to avoid purity caused by the aggregation of the blood."
"Thousands of years have passed like this."
"During these thousands of years, the Crawford family has existed as the stewards of the Xiguang clan, responsible for the commercial activities and transportation of the entire clan. This was originally the profession of the Yeshi clan, and after the initial emperor established the In the process of the empire, Xia, as the son of the original emperor and the marshal of the empire who overcame all obstacles, finally decided to untie the shackles of the Crawford family. To this end, he cooperated with me, and together we found this black and white palace as the Crawford family His base camp, and allowing the Crawford family to recuperate and develop rapidly on this land will become his biggest boost in the future."
"Become the support of the next generation of imperial emperors."
"It's just that the original emperor is indeed dead, and the great chaos that Xia expected will follow. I am waiting for his call so that I can use all my strength to raise him to the throne."
"But he gave up on himself."
"That night he realized his transcendence and became the first saint of mankind. He abandoned his original name and bloodline and faced the world again with the title of Xia. He also abandoned me."
Douglas said calmly.
"So, what should I do?"
