Yang Cheng slapped his forehead. "I get it now … There is no such thing as true or false in history. As long as it is beneficial to one's side, it will be rewritten. Perhaps the person who told me this wasn't lying to me. It was just that what she knew was their own 'victorious history' that was passed down in Hongmeng. "
"You're right. What you know is complete nonsense," Christen said disdainfully. Christen said disdainfully, "Perhaps there were indeed some people among the ancestors of Huaxia who were far more powerful than we could imagine. However, when we came to Earth tens of thousands of years ago, the spiritual energy on Earth, oh, that is, the energy needed for cultivation after reaching the Xiantian Full Cycle, was already at its lowest point. At that time, the cultivators of Hongmeng were no match for their ancestors. The strongest cultivators were only at the Tribulation Passing Stage. Although there were tens of thousands of them, our Protoss also had an army of tens of thousands of gods. Why would we be afraid of them? What's more, the twelve of us could reincarnate almost indefinitely. As for the cultivators of Hua Xia, once they died, they died. They couldn't live long at all. How could they be a match for us?! "
Yang Cheng frowned. A trace of doubt arose in his mind. "That's not right … Last time when I fought with Ares, my True Qi broke his frozen space. It can be seen that Hua Xia's martial arts can restrain the Law of Space. Then how did you guys win back then? What's more, now that I've broken through to the Connate Full Cycle, I feel that my True Qi is more than twice as strong as before. The Law of Space should be even less of a threat. You also said that there were more than a dozen experts at the Tribulation Passing Stage. Their strength should be above mine. No matter how strong Zeus and Athena are, they can't be so ridiculously strong, right? "
Christen looked at Yang Cheng strangely. "Hades, who on earth have you heard this bunch of nonsense from?"
"What do you mean?" Yang Cheng felt a little creeped out by this woman's stare.
"Hmph." Christen rolled her eyes and said, "You look down on yourself too much. Let me ask you a random question. How many people know the martial arts that you practice?"
Yang Cheng pondered for a moment. He remembered what Abbess Yun Miao had told him before, so he said, "It's said that … I'm practicing Shushan's Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture. Ever since this technique came into existence, only a handful of people have been able to practice it due to its extremely high level of comprehension and physical fitness. After the senior who taught me passed away many years ago, I'm probably the only one who knows it."
"Then it's over." Christen said, "Do you think that every single one of Hua Xia's martial arts has the same combat power? Even if you've reached the Soul Formation stage, the techniques you've learned are divided into high and low levels. That martial art of yours is clearly superior to the vast majority of martial arts, which means that your starting point is already higher than most Soul Formation stage cultivators. Do you think that just because you were able to use True Qi to break through Ares' spatial power, others can do the same? "
"You mean … even at the Soul Forming stage and the Tribulation Passing stage, there are different levels of strength?!" Yang Cheng's mind lit up. Why didn't he think of it?!
Yes, although there were thousands of paths leading to the same goal in terms of realm, realm didn't represent combat power!
For example, if it was a sorcerer who had been practicing Zen for decades, his understanding of heaven and earth was simply unfathomable. However, even if it was a monk in his early twenties, although he didn't have a deep understanding of Buddhism, he still practiced martial arts. When two monks met, no matter how rich the sorcerer's experience was and how deep his understanding was, he would still be defeated by the monk who knew martial arts! This was because combat relied on strength, speed, and techniques! Not realm!!
After Christen mentioned it, Yang Cheng suddenly felt that a new perspective had opened up in front of him! It turned out that he had always confused realm with strength!!
In fact, it was no wonder that Yang Cheng had misunderstood everything.
The people he had met before, whether it was Ling Xuzi or Yan Sanniang, were all in the Soul Forming stage and had combat power.
Otherwise, Hongmeng wouldn't have sent Ling Xuzi as Hongmeng's messenger, and Yan Sanniang wouldn't have been protecting Yang Gongming all the time.
Because of this, Yang Cheng had always felt that once one entered the Soul Forming stage, one's strength would be on par with others. However, he didn't know that Yan Sanniang had only seen a small part of it!
Christen explained faintly, "Hades, let me tell you. Tens of thousands of years ago, more than 80% of the ordinary Soul Forming stage cultivators reached the Soul Forming stage, but their combat power was very ordinary. Their True Inner Force could only compete with the Spatial Divine Power of the ordinary Protoss. Most of the time, they would learn some natural elemental spells to fight with us. Only a few hundred of them could really pose a threat to the twelve of us.
Actually, you're quite stupid to believe that we were the ones who lost the war. Think about it. If we were the ones who lost the war, why did the ancestors of Hua Xia only occupy the territory of Hua Xia, while we occupied all the other places on Earth? It's because they knew that both sides would suffer if they continued to fight, so they acquiesced to our arrival. "
Yang Cheng nodded. Indeed, this was very illogical. When Yan Sanniang first told him about it, he didn't think too much about it. Now that Christen explained it, it was full of loopholes.
As for why the gods didn't allow them to reincarnate into the bodies of the people of Hua Xia, it was probably because they didn't want to possess the people of their 'enemy'. Moreover, after reincarnation, they would use human bodies to give birth to descendants outside of Hua Xia. Naturally, the gods would be interested to see their descendants, even if they didn't have their own blood. Just like Judy from Blue Storm, whom he had killed previously, she was a descendant of one of Christen's reincarnations.
Then, Yang Cheng thought of something strange. He asked in confusion, "If that's the case, why was Ares so surprised by my martial arts when I sparred with him? Didn't he also experience the war tens of thousands of years ago? "
Christen frowned. "Did he ask you? What did you say you were practicing? "
"I said … it's Hua Xia's internal energy." After saying that, Yang Cheng came to a sudden realization. He laughed and said, "So that's how it is. The cultivators you fought back then were at least at the Soul Forming stage, so they used True Inner Force. I was only using True Qi at the stage of internal energy. Whether it's the feeling or the name, it's quite different … No wonder he treated it as a new power."
Christen looked at Yang Cheng as if he was a monster. "Hades, you mean … the martial arts you learned from Hua Xia broke Ares's Space Freeze before it reached the state of True Inner Force?"
Yang Cheng was quite proud of himself. "How about it? It's not bad, right?"
Christen bit her lip and said sourly, "It's not just not bad. Even those who passed the tribulation stage tens of thousands of years ago rarely had such an overbearing skill. Your starting point is so high that it makes people jealous. "
As she said that, a trace of anxiety flashed across Christen's face. She stamped her foot in the void and said, "No! Hades, you may break through to the tribulation stage in the future. At that time, you will be someone who can hurt Zeus and Athena. You can't betray us! At the very least, you have to guarantee your neutrality! "
Yang Cheng was puzzled. "Why do I always hear you talking about how strong Zeus and Athena are? Are they really that terrifying?"
Christen sighed, and there was a bit of awe in her eyes. "I can only tell you that among the twelve main gods, Ares is the weakest one, although he likes to fight. He barely enters the level of us twelve main gods. It's because he knows that his real strength is the weakest that he likes to fight and hopes to cover up this fact through fighting. The next one is me. My combat power is similar to Ares's.
I told you last time that your understanding of the Law of Space is not bad, but I didn't tell you the truth. It's not necessary, and I don't want to hurt your self-esteem. But the truth is, the difference in strength between us twelve main gods is really big.
As for the others, even Apollo and Diana, who you have already met, are far stronger than us. It's just that they may not show their true strength in front of you. Not to mention your predecessor, Hades, Poseidon, and the others. As for Zeus and Athena, I've already told you about them. If it weren't for the treacherous Huaxia cultivators tens of thousands of years ago, they wouldn't have been able to resist Zeus and Athena. Huaxia would have long been conquered by us. "
Yang Cheng's heart sank. This night was really "worth it". He had greatly reduced his confidence. He could not believe it and said with a bitter smile, "I don't get it. How strong can the monotonous Law of Space be? Even if there is a divine artifact to help, isn't it just the power of space? You have to know that once you reach the Soul Formation stage, you can be said to have 'jumped out of the Three Realms'. You can't even talk about the restraint of space, so how can it be lethal? "
Christen was about to explain, but her expression suddenly changed. "It's Neptune!?"
At the same time, Yang Cheng also felt a wave of energy coming from the east and west. This was clearly the pressure of a main god, and it was unprecedentedly strong. Neptune?! Isn't that … Poseidon?!
"The new Hades, since you look down on the Law of Space of the protoss, why don't you fight with me? I'll show you what the real Law of Space is …"
