This wasn't just breaking the news. It was like a nuclear bomb, causing everyone to be dumbfounded.
"Grandpa!"
An Xinhui glanced at An Xiaoxi.
"He's right!"
An Xiaoxi actually admitted to it. This caused An Xinhui to be unable to say the countless words in her heart.
"It's just like how we humans don't eat maggots or bugs. That 'god' also doesn't eat ordinary humans. To it, ordinary humans are low-grade food ingredients. No, they can't be called food ingredients. They are trash!"
Ji Shiwen explained.
"To be more accurate, the intelligence and bodies of these people are too weak. Even if they are eaten, they wouldn't be able to absorb any nutrients!"
An Xiaoxi added.
"That's right. This is why the 'god' would spread its knowledge and send down holy words to open up the intelligence of these people. Hence, great teachers were born."
Ji Shiwen laughed in self-mockery. "You guys don't know that the highest realm that cultivators dream of, the void shattering realm, isn't ascension. It's maturity and being eaten.
"Similarly, the highest realm of great teachers, the saint realm, is also the most perfect fruit that contains the most energy.
"Once upon a time, there were very few great teachers and humans were weak. They could still be managed. But gradually, as the nine provinces gradually developed, the number of human great teachers surged and the quality of the people started to improve. At this time, that 'god' was too busy. Hence, it chose shepherds to manage these 'sheep', allowing them to produce more 'mature' food ingredients."
"Shepherd An, am I right?"
Ji Shiwen's last sentence was filled with mockery.
"Roughly the same, but I have to correct one thing. The 'god's' civilization is very advanced. It chose shepherds because of their work habits. It's not that they were too busy!"
An Xiaoxi's lips twitched. "Speaking of this, the speed at which humans produce 'food ingredients' is too slow. They can only maintain the 'god's' most basic consumption. This caused them to have no choice but to sleep for hundreds of years to reduce their consumption."
"What is a god?"
An Xinhui interjected.
An Xiaoxi didn't explain.
"You said that 'god' can send down holy words and create prophets. In that case, when one ascends to the secondary saint realm, would the holy words be the same as this?"
An Xinhui looked toward Ji Shiwen.
"Naturally!"
Ji Shiwen felt very humble: "We've worked hard our whole lives just to become someone else's food. An Mingzhi, don't you think this is very sad?"
An Zhiyi did not answer. He remembered how he felt when he first heard this big secret from his father. He was shocked, desperate, and finally angry.
The father I respected was actually someone else's dog?
Not even if this' person 'was a god!
At that time, although An Xiaoxin was only a 7-star great teacher, he was already a great teacher with the heart of a 'saint'. He loved his students very much.
The moment he thought about how he had painstakingly nurtured his students just so that they could be eaten by others and become nutrients for others to survive, he was so angry that he wanted to kill that 'God'.
And so he did. Seizing the opportunity of his father's death and taking over as the Shepherd, he attacked God.
But the result was laughable!
This was like an ant challenging a high and mighty human, but it couldn't even hurt him.
At that moment, An Zhi felt helpless and hopeless.
It turned out that God was forgiving. As shepherd dogs, the An family proved their loyalty and value, so God forgave his offense.
An Zhiyi had thought about killing all humans.
If all the humans died, the 'Gods' would have no food and would also die. However, looking at the carefree children running and playing on the streets, looking at the boys and girls who were childhood sweethearts growing up, getting married, and building a happy family, An Zhe could not bring himself to do it.
His son, who was An Xinhui's father, was mediocre. Hence, he started to nurture Sun Mo's father with all his might.
Because of the existence of some shackles, An Zhiyi was unable to tell Sun Mo's father the secret of this world. However, he would occasionally hint to him.
Things were as An Zhiyi had expected. When Sun Chuanming was sent to the Darkness Continent for training, he discovered the truth and 'disappeared'.
At that moment, An Zhiyi felt gratified. The student he had nurtured was sufficiently talented and didn't let him down. However, he also felt very disappointed.
Because this path was destined to be hopeless and would only lead to death.
An Zhiyi truly couldn't bear to send the 'saints' he respected to others. However, in order to fight for time for Sun Mo's father to grow, he endured it.
At the same time, he started to suppress the various geniuses and rising stars in the great teacher world. As long as there were fewer 'ingredients', that 'God' wouldn't be able to receive nourishment and would become weaker.
When the 'God' woke up again, it discovered this abnormality.
An Zhiyi knew that he couldn't avoid it anymore. Hence, he challenged it. However, the result was the same. It was a complete and utter defeat.
The 'God' had wanted to kill An Zhiyi, but this fellow didn't put in the effort to nurture a perfect successor for over a hundred years.
There was no solution to it. The 'God' could only let An Zhiyi understand its civilization and let it know how unwise it was to go against the 'God'. It wanted to conquer it psychologically.
At the same time, the Shepherd System, which was the Absolute Great Teacher System that Sun Mo had obtained, was sent down to be used as a substitute.
As for why it chose Sun Mo and not An Xinhui, who was known as an absolute genius, it was because after the system scanned it, it discovered that Sun Mo's ability to educate people was stronger.
Simply speaking, he knew how to teach and could nurture more 'ingredients'!
And one of the main reasons why Sun Mo was chosen was because he was An Xinhui's fiance and had a connection with the An Clan.
An Zhiyi had been in a coma for all these years. On the surface, it seemed that it was because he had failed to break through to the saint realm. But in truth, he had been 'wandering' around the 'God' country, undergoing the brainwashing of the civilization.
After that, a 'brand new' An Zhiyi returned.
"From what I know, you also resisted before. But why did you compromise?"
Ji Shiwen was puzzled. "Standing at the peak of the world and ruling over all of humanity, is it really so hard to extricate oneself?"
An Zhiyi was silent.
By becoming a shepherd, one wouldn't have any illnesses or disasters and would have a long life. The most important thing was that he could decide the life and death of everyone.
Be it saints or emperors, beauties or heroes, the shepherd could decide their life and death. As long as they were 'sacrificed', they would become food for the 'God'.
Even absolute experts who had shattered the void couldn't kill the 'God'. What strength did these people have to resist?
"Teacher, give me an answer!"
Sun Chuanming spoke.
"We won't be able to win!"
An Zhiyi let out a long sigh. A pained expression finally appeared on his calm face. "I've seen the civilization of the God before. They are too strong!"
"Just because the enemy is very strong, you won't resist?"
Sun Chuanming couldn't accept such an answer. He was the type who would rather die than submit. "Teacher, you taught me before that compared to living, there are many things that are higher than life and death!"
"Grandpa, why would that 'God' choose our An Clan?"
An Xinhui felt very uncomfortable. Her super strong comprehension ability allowed her to understand the current situation. Her beloved grandpa had become the dog of a 'God', helping him to enslave the living beings of the Nine Provinces!
This was something An Xinhui couldn't accept.
"Because our ancestors were very lucky. When the God had just descended into the Nine Provinces, they gave him some help. As a gift from the God, our An Clan became its shepherd!"
When An Zhiyi spoke of this matter, an indescribable emotion flashed in his heart.
It was like when a person was drowning and a dog dragged him to shore. That person was very grateful to the dog and gave it youth and power, allowing it to become the dog king.
Logically speaking, the dog king should be very happy. After all, it had obtained everything. Also, other than getting the dog to send some food over regularly, its' master 'didn't harm it.
However, if this dog had humanity and knew what was good and evil, what choice would it make?
Would it keep on using its own people as' food 'and send them to the table of the' God '?
Speaking of which, this was something that happened in the Nine Provinces during the primitive era. The An Clan's ancestor, as a commoner of a primitive tribe, relied on the knowledge bestowed by the 'God' to become the tribe's prophet. After that, he nurtured all sorts of tribal chieftains.
Naturally, these chieftains were all eaten by the 'God' without exception.
"You guys want to kill all the teachers and students of our school just because we are people from the An... An... school? But we don't know anything? "
Jin Mujie was very angry. She didn't want to call him headmaster, but she couldn't say his name out loud. It was because the other party was a saint.
"That's right. We are not from the An Clan, so we don't have the qualifications to be that shepherd dog."
Gu Xiuxue felt indignant.
"Because once our plan succeeds and we kill An Xiaoxin and An Xinhui, there's an 80 to 90% chance that the next shepherd dog will be born among the teachers and students of the Central Province Academy. It's because you guys are humans that the 'God' is more familiar with!"
Ji Shiwen explained.
Being a shepherd was a very important job. That 'God' wouldn't choose people who weren't familiar with the job.
"Let me reveal something else. You guys know about the Great Dream Heart Sutra, right? It's the ultimate divine art of your Central Province Academy. Anyone who learned it would have a very high chance of becoming a shepherd dog! "
Sun Chuanming coldly snorted.
The Great Dream Heart Sutra was a tool to select shepherd dogs. Its main ability was to allow the cultivator to see the 'God' and hear the guidance of the God. Unknowingly, the cultivator would be influenced by the God and their worldview would be molded by him. From there, they would become his believers and loyal dogs.
"But this time around, everyone who enters this ancient shrine will have to die!"
Ji Shiwen had a self-mocking smile. "You guys have seen those monsters, right? Some people were 'killed' by them. Actually, they were processing food ingredients. As long as a person was' killed 'by them, they would turn into pure energy and be sent to the dining table of the God. "
"No wonder the people who died would turn into black smoke. There wouldn't even be a corpse left!"
Gu Xiuxun was enlightened. But after that, she felt puzzled. "That's not right. The great teacher circle that came this time around are all elites from the Nine Greats. If they all died, wouldn't the great teacher world of the Nine Provinces be severed? At the very least, their vitality would be greatly damaged for tens of years, and they wouldn't be able to produce a saint! "
"Because An Xiaoxin didn't cooperate earlier, as well as our special assassination and persuasion against secondary saints, the number of saints produced was extremely low. That 'God' has been starving for a very long time."
Ji Shiwen sighed. He had thought that he could pull An Xiaoxin to his side, but he didn't expect that after An Xiaoxin woke up, his personality had changed drastically.
"Are you done?"
An Xiaoxin's tone was calm. "If you are, prepare to set off."
