After that, the atmosphere became even more harmonious. Everyone chatted about all sorts of things. Gu Yigu casually recounted some interesting stories and anecdotes of the martial world. Chu Yang and the others listened with great interest. Smart Kids Remember the World, Super Fast Hands
As they chatted, Chu Yang suddenly thought of something. "Elder Gu, there's something I don't understand."
Gu Yigu smiled. "Go ahead."
"This isn't the first time I've taken this path. The last time I came, I didn't see you coming out to collect horses," said Chu Yang.
Gu Yigu was taken aback at once. He asked, "The last time? You passed by here? Then did you ride a horse? "
Chu Yang was stunned. "No."
Gu Yigu said disdainfully, "If you didn't ride a horse, why would I come out to collect you?"
Chu Yang was stunned.
"Everyone who passes by here, as long as they are horses, must leave them behind!" Gu Yigu said, "Five clans passed by here in that direction. Now, I've already dealt with the horses of four of them."
Chu Yang gave him a wry smile. This old fellow was really fierce.
"Only the Chen Clan's Wind-Chasing Beast passed by here the last time. I didn't want it." Gu Yigu snorted and said, "The blood of that Wind-Chasing Beast stinks! Only a lunatic would want it … "
Mo Qingwu shuddered.
Mo Tianji frowned. "Elder, what you mean is … These horses have all been eaten by you?"
The corners of Gu Yigu's lips spasmed a little. "No. I've been injured in the past and need blood essence to replenish my body. Warhorses are full of vigor and have been on expeditions for many years, so there's naturally a vicious aura in them. Besides, it's easier to absorb … After these horses are in my hands, I'll use a secret technique to extract half of their blood essence and consume it myself. Then, I'll sell the horses."
"The money I get from them is used as living expenses. Then, twice a year, I'll head straight from here to the Northeastern Wilderness to provide for my clansmen. " His eyes were somewhat sorrowful. "The place where we live all year round is covered in snow and ice … It's still fine for adults, but for children and the elderly. And for some women … they can't … "
Chu Yang nodded solemnly and sighed.
"Over the past 30,000 years, I've already bought a total of 70 million Purple Crystals worth of resources …" The corners of Gu Yigu's lips spasmed a little. While burning, killing, robbing, and committing all kinds of crimes … All the money and Purple Crystals that I obtained were all used to fill this huge hole … Now, I am a peak-grade Supreme Martial Artist. Other than his cultivation and a few taels of silver, he is a pauper! "
70 million purple crystals worth of resources!
Such a huge number made everyone greatly shocked!
One must know that 70 million Purple Crystals wasn't as simple as 70 million taels of silver. Those daily necessities that Gu Yigu had mentioned could all be bought with just gold and silver.
A single Purple Crystal was worth over ten million taels of silver!
In that case, the amount of resources that Gu Yigu had sent back was practically inestimable!
"Why do you need so much?" Chu Yang asked in surprise, "Some things can be used for many years …"
The corners of Gu Yigu's lips twitched again. "Where we come from … most things only have a lifespan of a year! Things like blankets can't be used after three months … "
He continued in a low voice, "As for us … back when the world had yet to change, we were still alive. There were two billion people. After the change, there were less than two hundred million survivors. Moreover, they were all sealed in the Wild Icefield. Eighty thousand years ago, it was reduced to 150 million. Fifty thousand years ago, it was less than 100 million. Thirty thousand years ago, there were still 70 million people. Twenty thousand years ago, there were only 40 million left. Now … there are barely 10 million left! "
Chu Yang and the others couldn't help but look at one another in shock.
Such a high rate of population extinction! If this ratio continued … the Three Stars Divine Clan's extinction was probably not far away.
"Every time the Tribulation Sword Master is born, the Wild Icefield will open once. But that time, it would only last for a day before it would close again. It is during these few days that the clan will select experts and rush them out. Then, they will do everything they can to earn money and buy things to send back … "
When he said this, Mo Tianji raised his hand and said, "Elder, there is something that I don't understand."
Gu Yigu asked, "What is it?"
"Since there is only a day's time and only very few people can come out, how do you send in the resources that you have collected? If things can be sent in, won't people be able to come out? "asked Mo Tianji.
Gu Yigu laughed miserably. "We are sealed inside. As long as the Gate of Life doesn't appear, living people can't come out. However, things sent in from the outside can be received … This means that under normal circumstances, lifeless things can be sent in and out. What that Gate of Life restricts are only life and soul. "
Mo Tianji let out an 'oh' and fell silent.
He secretly wondered what kind of Gate of Life it was. It was actually so domineering. It could actually restrict souls.
"And once the identities of those who come out are exposed, they will attract the attacks of the entire continent … Over the years, other than me, no other expert of the Three Stars Divine Clan has been able to last until the next Tribulation Sword Master is born …"
"This batch of mine has brought out 400 people, all of whom are elites. However … up till now, I am the only one alive in this world. The others have all died 20,000 years ago …"
"It was only until three years ago, when the latest Tribulation Sword Master was born that that detestable Gate of Life finally opened. However … my clansmen are already …"
Gu Yigu heaved a long sigh. "All these years, I have robbed good people and killed bad people. I have indeed killed a lot of people. However, I don't dare to die. I am not afraid of death, but I can't die … Hehe … Brother Chu, you should also know that those who can cultivate to my level, how many of them are afraid of death … However, I have to beg for mercy in front of that big brother of yours. Not to mention a promise and a few Heavenly Treasures, even if he wants me to kneel down and call him grandpa, I will still have to save my life … "
"If I die as well … the Divine Clan will really have no one left in the outside world … Those resources will also never be able to return …"
At this point, Gu Yigu sighed and didn't say anything else.
Chu Yang and the others didn't say anything either.
What should he say?
Everyone didn't know what to say. They just felt that their hearts were heavy.
When Gu Yigu talked about what happened back then, everyone already found it strange. Wasn't this peak-grade Supreme Martial Artist a little too afraid of death … To actually beg for mercy?
However, it was only now that they knew and understood. Looking at Gu Yigu in front of them, a sense of respect suddenly rose in their hearts.
It wasn't difficult to die for Yi Ning generously. What was difficult was to endure humiliation and live for the sake of the clan.
After a long while, Chu Yang asked tentatively, "This … Can the Three Stars Divine Clan and humans coexist peacefully?"
Gu Yigu was furious!
His eyes bulged as he said furiously, "What do you mean by this?"
Chu Yang was stunned. "…?" Gu Yigu said furiously, "What do you mean by can the Three Stars Divine Clan and humans coexist peacefully? Are the Three Stars Divine Clan not humans? "
Chu Yang was floored.
Was there a need for you to say that? Who in the legends over the past 10,000 years had ever said that the Three Stars Divine Clan was also humans? The Three Stars Divine Clan was originally on par with the Dragons, Phoenixes, Fairies and other races. Since when were they actually … humans?
Gu Yigu's anger hadn't subsided yet. "The Three Stars Divine Clan is just a little special. How are they not humans? When the Three Stars Divine Clan ruled the world 100,000 years ago, did they ever exterminate the so-called humans? "
"At that time, wasn't it also very normal for the Three Stars Divine Clan to intermarry with the humans you speak of? Why is it that when these so-called humans rule the continent, even the descendants of interracial marriages are all exterminated? Is it the Three Stars Divine Clan who is cruel or the so-called humans on the continent who are cruel? "
"The so-called humans on the continent now, other than wearing human skin, in what way can you say that they are really humans? Are they even worthy of being called humans? What nonsense! "
Lord Gu Yigu spat fiercely.
Mo Tianji lowered his head and considered for a while. Then, he said, "The Three Stars Divine Clan is indeed the same as humans from birth until they grow up. The only difference is that their meridians are slightly different. Moreover, the bloodline of the Three Stars Divine Clan can also be awakened. This point seems to be different from ordinary people. Another thing is that they carry the clan symbol on their foreheads from birth … Therefore, they are rejected because of this. "
"But at the end of the day … It's not impossible to say that the Three Stars Divine Clan are humans. But it's also not impossible to say that they aren't humans. "
Mo Tianji's words were extremely fair. Chu Yang nodded slowly.
He finally understood why the guards of Du Shiqing whom he met when he went to Iron Cloud back then had the fire control techniques of the Three Stars Divine Clan. Presumably, that was some kind of bloodline awakening?
The Three Stars Divine Clan had already suffered for 100,000 years. Then, if he could unify the Heavens, wouldn't it be time to give them some fairness?
But Chu Yang didn't say this out loud. In fact, he also needed to discuss this plan with his brothers and then seek the opinions of the Moon Breeze couple to come up with a foolproof plan.
Otherwise, if he made a rash decision, the day of unification would be the beginning of a great war between the races!
No one would be able to bear such a cruel consequence.
This was also the real reason why Chu Yang didn't dare to agree to Duke Wei's request back then.
Mo Tianji was deep in thought. He glanced at Chu Yang. From Chu Yang's tightly knitted brows, Mo Tianji completely understood what his boss was thinking about.
A hint of worry flashed across his eyes.
This topic was too heavy. Chu Yang simply skipped over it and suppressed it in his heart. Then, he started to talk about interesting things in the martial world again. Dong Wushang and the others also took advantage of this rare break to rest quickly.
Mo Qingwu lay in Chu Yang's arms, half asleep and half awake.
"This … Elder Gu, back then, as far as I know, there were three people who left their mark on this Black Blood Token. Do you know who the other two are? "Chu Yang asked seriously.
"This … I indeed don't know." There was an awkward look on Gu Yigu's face. He said, "After all, this isn't something to be proud of. No one would publicize it …"
Chu Yang said dispassionately, "That might not be the case. Elder Gu, do you know that if they weren't one of the few experts in the world … that big brother of mine also wouldn't have allowed them to leave their mark on this … Those who could leave their mark on this are all top-notch experts in the world!"
