Mo Rongzhan's handsome face was expressionless. He was actually confused about Xiaoyao's reaction. Was it bad to know that she might be a god? Many people cultivated their whole lives just to get close to the grace of the god. As long as her identity was confirmed, she could go to Jiutian and restore her godhood. This was a happy thing for anyone who thought they were mortals.
"You have the mark of the god," said Mo Rongzhan. "You don't look very happy."
Xiaoyao shouted angrily, "Why should I be happy? What's so good about the god? "
"The god is the noblest race in the world. Mortals may not be able to reach Jiutian even if they cultivate their whole lives. You don't have to do anything and you can have the noble identity of the god. What's so bad about that?" Mo Rongzhan asked calmly.
"Of course it's bad!" Xiaoyao said angrily. "What's so good about the god? Where were the gods when the mortals were the food of the demon beasts? You can ask any mortal who still worships the God Race. As long as the God Race is mentioned, which mortal doesn't hate it? "
Mo Rongzhan frowned. "I didn't know the mortals would hate the god so much."
"Now you know." Xiaoyao snorted.
"Without the god, the human world wouldn't be what it is today. I don't know what happened decades ago, but the god will not let the demon beasts continue to wreak havoc in the human world," said Mo Rongzhan.
Xiaoyao sneered, "Can such words convince people? Who can guarantee that the god will protect the mortals? "
"I promise," said Mo Rongzhan.
"You are …" Xiaoyao suddenly remembered that he was the Young Emperor of Jiutian. His words had weight, but she didn't feel touched. "Mortals don't need the Shen Clan anymore. Can't you see that? Haven't you been investigating the surroundings? Then you should know that as long as the High Lord of Heaven Castle is here, the mortals in the human world won't be hurt. The mortals have a shelter now. "
Mo Rongzhan said, "Wen Tian isn't protecting the mortals. He's consolidating his power. Demon beasts are demon beasts. They will never change their animal nature."
Xiaoyao didn't like people talking about Wen Tian like that. She hated the so-called god in front of her even more. "You don't know Wen Tian at all. How can you say that?"
"You are too naive," Mo Rongzhan said.
"Cut the crap. Are you going to tell me how to get rid of the birthmark or not?" Xiaoyao asked.
Mo Rongzhan said, "It's impossible to remove it. This is the mark of the God Race. We can only hide it."
Even if he could hide it, it would still be good! Xiaoyao thought. She looked at Mo Rongzhan and asked, "What should we do?"
"I'll give you the incantation first. After that, I'll go back to the Nine Heavens to investigate your background. I'll come back to find you in the future." Mo Rongzhan gave a jade slip to Xiao Yao, and on it was the incantation to hide the birthmark.
Xiaoyao took the incantation without hesitation. "You don't have to come to me. I don't want to know my origin."
Mo Rongzhan frowned slightly, he could feel that Xiaoyao really did not like the Nine Heavens Divine Race.
"When you reach the Nine Heavens, you will change your opinion." Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice.
"We'll see." Xiaoyao chuckled and waved at him. "See you again, Young Emperor Jiutian."
Looking at Xiao Yao's fleeing figure, Mo Rongzhan frowned and pondered for a moment. He decided to return to the Nine Heavens to find out what had happened in the past.
…
…
Ten thousand years ago, the Nine Heavens was even livelier. As soon as Mo Rongzhan appeared from the Earth Gate, a gate respectfully welcomed him in.
He summoned all his confidants and looked around them. "What happened to the human world during the hundred years that I was in seclusion?"
"Young Emperor, didn't you just come back from the human continent?" Ba Dao asked carefully.
"That's why I want to ask you. Is this how you protect the mortals of the human continent?" Mo Rongzhan shouted solemnly.
Bi Su stood up and said, "Young Emperor, it's not that we don't want to protect them, but we can't do anything. The Grand Emperor … sealed the Nine Heavens."
"What do you mean?" Mo Rongzhan narrowed his eyes, a dangerous anger flashing in them.
"Young Emperor, with the Demon Empress wreaking havoc, almost all the demon beasts of the Desolate Hell ran to the human continent. We wanted to kill them, but the Grand Emperor said that the human continent has its own predestined fate. The mortals will think of ways to protect themselves. He also said that the human continent is the same as the Desolate Hell, the most lowly of existences and not worth caring about," Ba Dao said in a low voice. "So, the human continent was abandoned just like that."
Mo Rongzhan closed his eyes. "How could the Grand Emperor abandon the human continent!"
Bi Su waved his arm and showed Mo Rongzhan the scene of the human continent ten years ago. "Young Emperor, this is what my spirit beast saw from the human continent. Back then, we used this to beg the Grand Emperor to let us go down to the mortal world to save people, but …"
The Grand Emperor wasn't worried about the lives of mortals.
"That's why Wen Tian appeared in the human continent," Mo Rongzhan said coldly. It was no wonder that mortals hated the gods so much when they talked about them.
When they needed them the most, they were abandoned by them.
"Wen Tian was originally a flying serpent who had been in the Desolate Hell for thousands of years. I don't know when he ran to the human continent," Po Shi said.
"Flying serpent?" Mo Rongzhan frowned slightly. "Did he experience a calamity?"
"He hasn't, so it should be about time. If he wants to ascend to heaven and experience a calamity, he might become a true dragon," Bi Su said. Although the flying serpent became a true dragon after experiencing a calamity and was different from the orthodox true dragons, it was still a dragon.
True dragons had the highest status in the world.
"I'm going to see the Grand Emperor. No matter what, it's the responsibility of the gods to protect the human continent," Mo Rongzhan said plainly.
"Young Emperor." Po Shi stood up. "I'm afraid the Grand Emperor has already abandoned the human continent. Won't you … make him unhappy?"
Ever since Young Emperor came out of seclusion, the Grand Emperor didn't seem happy. Instead, he was suspicious of her. If she went against him now, she would definitely make him unhappy.
"The Grand Emperor being unhappy has nothing to do with us protecting mortals," Mo Rongzhan said plainly.
"Actually, the reason why the demon beasts wreaked havoc in the human continent is more or less related to us. If it wasn't for the fact that the demon qi in the Desolate Hell was destroyed and the demon beasts couldn't cultivate, they wouldn't have come to the human continent …" Ba Dao sighed.
Mortals had to bear the sins of the gods.
Bi Su said, "I'm afraid the Grand Emperor won't let us protect mortals. Instead … we'll let Young Emperor suffer."
"No matter what, we'll do whatever Young Emperor says," Cang Nu said.
"Alright, this matter is decided," Mo Rongzhan said plainly. "Where's God General Xuan Yuan?"
He still had something to look for. Within the past 100 years, only God General Xuan Yuan had gone to the human continent.
Was there any relationship between Xiaoyao and him?
