After the three questions, Elder Dong didn't leave immediately.
As one of the ancient hermits, he wasn't as unapproachable as people thought. In contrast, he was very similar to people like Emperor Xian. He was just used to staying away from the hustle and bustle and living the life he liked. At the same time, he was very similar to the aboriginals. He didn't like power and power struggles. For an existence like him, power, kingdom, and clan were all short-lived. He lived longer than history.
Out of courtesy, Tang Shidao also asked three questions.
First, the existence of the Human-faced Beast.
According to Elder Dong, the Human-faced Beast was a life form that evolved beyond the laws of nature. They were a branch of mutated beasts or magical beasts. Most of them were descendants of Yuanzu Yuan Ling, or even splits of Yuanzu Yuan Ling. Human-faced Beasts didn't change because of power, but because of knowledge. Their evolution was very similar to the crystal life form in the Crystal Illusion. They only changed their form according to their needs.
Strangely, the first human race was later than Yuanzu Yuan Ling.
Why did the Human-faced Beast appear?
"Mutated beasts are judged by their blood endowment. The highest blood endowment is Yuanzu Yuan Ling. The lowest blood endowment is just a random prey in the void. Magical beasts are judged by their reproduction numbers. The more they reproduce, the more resources they have, and the stronger their race is. Humans are judged by their knowledge. The best physique is probably the elementals, but the race that inherited knowledge is still more outstanding. Therefore, mutated beasts evolving toward 'knowledge' is a choice, not a law of nature. "
"I see." Tang Shidao understood. It was like learning a skill.
The difference was that the Human-faced Beast had changed completely.
Elder Dong also said.
They were also derived from the human race. Some 'beast-faced people' evolved from the human race. Some humans with high reproductive efficiency evolved toward magical beasts. It could be said that there was no absolute difference between the races. They only learned from each other and imitated each other.
There were even some that were in between the two races.
Half-human, half-beast.
"The end of the Lower Ancient Era was because they never learned from others. They only let others learn from them. They also never adapted to the public. They only let the public adapt to them. This kind of thinking of 'only I am right' led to their vision becoming smaller and smaller, and their understanding of the outside world becoming more and more biased. When all sorts of Beyonder experts appear, when all sorts of alien species become famous, they can't even react in time. "
"Sorcerer's Web?" Tang Shidao could guess. He didn't know about the world and only knew himself. It would be strange if he didn't lose.
A frog at the bottom of a well would lose no matter where it was.
"It's not just the Sorcerer's Net, there are countless other groups. When they fell apart, they still held the strongest power, even if the magic beasts were still the most numerous and powerful. However, at that time, they had chosen the most terrifying opponent, an opponent that they did not understand at all. In the Lower Ancient Era, the war against the Sorcerer Net was the biggest mistake. "
"The Sorcerer's Web isn't warlike."
"Yes. That was why they had made the wrong choice. According to your understanding, it's just like how a faction suddenly went all out to eliminate Old Man Yi. "
Tang Shidao smiled.
This sentence …
Old Man Yi was the person who didn't care about anything and had the least territory. Even if they defeated him, they wouldn't get any benefits. However, not only did the group of 'idlers' behind Old Man Yi contribute the most, their numbers and strength were unimaginable. Even if they investigated with all their might, they wouldn't be able to find out how many Sorcerers there were in Old Man Yi's group who specialized in repairing void cracks and void collapses, and how powerful they were.
Elder Dong described Old Man Yi as Old Man Yi, and Tang Shidao immediately understood the situation of the Sorcerer's Web battle.
This was equivalent to a lion targeting an elephant instead of destroying a wild wolf.
Next.
The second question was about the ancient artifacts.
Tang Shidao didn't stand on ceremony and asked directly. Because Elder Dong asked three questions, Tang Shidao asked three questions in return, evading the favor. With such an opportunity, Tang Shidao didn't ask silly things like if he had eaten. Similarly, he didn't say silly things like roping him in or forming an alliance. People like Elder Dong weren't the kind of existence that outsiders could use.
"Mr. Long, are you a refiner?"
"No, I'm asking on behalf of someone else." Tang Shidao didn't want Mr. Long's identity to be too complicated.
"I see. About the ancient artifacts … Yes, they were created by condensing power in our era. However, their creation has little to do with power and technology. It can be said that the creation of the ancient artifacts has the most to do with 'luck'. First of all, its materials are unlimited, but each of them must be 'grown' from the Void Elemental Soil, just like the fruit of a tree. "
"The ancient artifacts can be destroyed."
"Yes, so it's not the Void Elemental Soil, it's just something grown from the Void Elemental Soil. Another kind of thing is the current wonder of the ancient artifacts. It's indestructible … Well, you guys are used to calling it the Universal Wonder, right? Anyway, it's the same. They're all grown. The difference is that the current wonder has characteristics similar to the Void Elemental Soil. "
"Can you explain it more clearly?"
"Haha, of course. We don't want to make it public because we're afraid that everyone will go the wrong way. The Void Elemental Soil isn't that easy to tame, and not many people can make use of it. Even in our era, if you want to 'plant' the ancient artifacts, you need to rely on luck. In general, there's something called 'embryo' that's the most important. The remains of mutated beasts, crystals with remnant souls, unformed weapons, or living creatures. Any kind of thing can become an 'embryo'. "
"Hearing you say this word, you guys see the ancient artifacts as living creatures?"
"We see the Void Elemental Soil as living creatures too. We don't differentiate between life and death, we only believe in gathering and dispersing. The void contains everything. It creates everything, and it also recycles everything. "
"Yes." Tang Shidao nodded.
"If we make these things public, the races that don't know the inside story will do their best to research it. However, that's basically a waste of effort. In the Middle Ancient Era, there were some races that did some research, and they also had some results. In the Late Ancient Era, haha, even the Origin Crystal and Source Iron artifacts slowly fell into disuse. The name 'ancient artifacts' was deliberately spread by the Late Ancient Era. In fact, they already didn't understand it, and only kept the treasures of their ancestors to show off their might. "
"No wonder the ancient beasts didn't create any more."
"In the Late Ancient Era, it wasn't that the ancient beasts became stronger, but that they deliberately weakened all the other races. In terms of numbers, the Late Ancient Era was 100 points, and the small races were 20 or 30 points. The Middle Ancient Era was 50 points, and the small races were still 20 or 30 points. The Late Ancient Era was 10 points, and the small races were 1 or 2 points. In this way, the ancient beasts still occupied more than 90% of the power. "
"It seems that as long as the small races regained 20 points, the Late Ancient Era wouldn't be able to control them."
"That's right. The ancient beasts in the Late Ancient Era didn't become stronger, they only controlled the other races to become weaker. Once a powerful individual appeared, they couldn't do anything. Moreover, the mutated beasts have always existed, and they have always been at the top. Therefore, if the small races didn't become stronger, the Human-faced Beasts would rise sooner or later, easily overthrowing the rule of the ancient beasts. "
"Elder Dong, why do you think they've lasted for so long?"
"Because they're not interested." Elder Dong was very certain, and said, "If the mutated beasts are interested in power and influence, they can probably easily crush all resistance when they unite. They don't need all of it, just a small part will do, right, Old Man Taiyuan? "
"We're not interested." God Taiyuan's words proved everything. It didn't have an answer, because Yuanzu Yuan Ling was really not interested.
For example.
Who could stop Åling from building a force?
No, no one!
However, did Åling build a force?
No.
It wasn't that it couldn't do it, it just wasn't interested. Other than it, the scarecrow, this profiteer, was also not interested. It definitely wasn't that he couldn't do it.
"Outside the Void, there's the Primitive Law Domain, and the legendary Nirvana Origin … Mr Long, I don't care if it exists or not. Now, let me ask you, if there's really such a place, do you want others to bring you in? Or do you want to find the door yourself? "
"Think of a way yourself." Tang Shidao didn't hesitate.
"Haha. Therefore, you can definitely understand that some people really aren't interested in power and influence. The Lower Ancient Era covered everything, while the Sorcerer's Net opened everything. Compared to the Sorcerer's Net, the Sorcerer's Net rose into the sky, while the Ancient Beasts got worse and worse. I can't say who's right, but if you don't understand your enemy and are arrogant and complacent, you'll definitely die in the end. "
At this point, the second question was finished.
The third question.
Tang Shidao also asked about the Nirvana Origin.
"I haven't been there. But there must be such a place. Although it's not necessarily called the Nirvana Origin, there must be more than one Outer Realm. Those old men in the Primitive Law Domain also believe that there is. The Primitive Law Domain isn't the only Outer Realm. The entrance to the Nirvana Origin is probably in the Origin Energy Sea. That 'ocean' has the widest range. I don't have anything to tell you, but there's a piece of information. A friend of mine tracked it down until he couldn't find it. "
"Elder Dong, don't force yourself. I'm just asking casually."
"No, it's not anything important. It's just a name. The Snake of Life hasn't been recorded yet. There might be a reason why it hasn't been found. Mr Long, it might not be related to the Nirvana Origin. It's just a message left behind by a pursuer. As for its name, it's called … the Heavenly Source Vortex! "
"Is the Heavenly Source Vortex a spell or a place?"
"It's not a spell. It's a place. It's a special place like the Universe Fat Web, the Primordial Wind Corridor, the Ten Thousand Caves Star Nest, the Crystal Illusion, and so on. As for where it is, I don't know because I haven't looked for it. The Void is infinitely vast. A long life doesn't necessarily mean you'll understand everything. "
"Thank you." Tang Shidao thanked him.
"You're welcome. I also asked you three questions." Elder Dong smiled and waved his hand. Then, the three of them chatted. They didn't talk about anything important. Instead, they talked about the cultivation of Human Cultivators and spells.
Because God Taiyuan had already cast a spell to prevent eavesdropping, the conversation just now didn't spread.
After it was lifted.
The three of them chatted like ordinary people. At the banquet, the other groups were stunned. A famous person in Yuan Ling, Yuanzu, an ancient hermit, and a Human Cultivator powerhouse. These three completely unrelated people were chatting like old friends. They were even talking about useless things … We're worth trillions in a second. You came to this banquet just to chat?
"Mr Long, if you continue like this, you'll definitely meet an opponent."
"Hmm?"
"Chan Jiu. The number one warrior monk in the Void, Chan Jiu, "Elder Dong said lightly. Everyone was stunned by this sentence.
What this ancient hermit meant was that …
Mr Long could be mentioned in the same breath as Chan Jiu one day?
This wasn't commercial flattery, was it?
That was Chan Jiu, someone who was almost as famous as Åling, the God of Arcane Arts! ()
