"Later, I returned to Earth and killed all the gods," Ling Jiu answered truthfully.
"That is to say, you are now the most powerful being in China?"
The Nine-winged Skydragon stared. "Since you are the most powerful being in China, why did you enter the Demon-sealing Tower? Who could imprison you here?"
"Didn't I tell you before?"
Ling Jiu was a little helpless. "I heard that the Demon-sealing Tower is fun, and there are a lot of talkative talents, so I came in to play and broaden my horizons."
"Come in to play?"
The Nine-winged Skydragon looked at him like he was an idiot. "The Demon-sealing Tower is a very magical immortal artifact. It not only completely isolates the immortal aura, but also completely isolates it from the outside world.
"The most important thing is that it only allows entry, not exit. Human, you are doomed. Don't even think about leaving after coming in."
"It's okay."
Ling Jiu waved his hand nonchalantly. "I have comprehended the Law of Dimensions, and I can leave here with just a thought. The Demon-sealing Tower can't trap me."
"What did you say?"
The Nine-winged Skydragon was shocked, its eyes bursting with two rays of light. "You have comprehended the Law of Dimensions and can leave the Demon-sealing Tower at any time?"
"Yes."
Ling Jiu smiled. "However, I am not in a hurry to leave for the time being. There are a lot of talents here, and they speak nicely. I like it here."
"When are you leaving?"
The Nine-winged Skydragon asked again.
"Let's talk after I've had enough fun."
Ling Jiu waved his hand. "Well, I'm going somewhere else. You continue to rest."
"Human, you can't go!"
The Nine-winged Skydragon blocked Ling Jiu's way in a flash, a pair of copper bell-like eyes staring at Ling Jiu. "You can leave, but you must take me with you."
"What did you say?"
Ling Jiu was stunned.
"Human, take me out of here, how about that?"
The Nine-winged Skydragon's eyes were fiery. "I have been imprisoned here for more than 5,800 years. I've had enough, and I dream of leaving here."
"You want to leave?"
Ling Jiu chuckled.
"Yes!"
The Nine-winged Skydragon nodded its big head vigorously.
"Why should I take you away?"
Ling Jiu asked with a smile. "I heard that all the monsters locked in the Demon-sealing Tower are peerless Direbeasts that have wreaked havoc in ancient times.
"You've committed so many crimes that it's difficult to list them all. If I were to release all of you, wouldn't it cause countless disasters?"
"Nonsense!"
The Nine-winged Skydragon flew into a rage. "What disaster? This is a crime you humans have imposed on us monsters. Despicable humans, you are too shameless!"
"What do you mean?"
Ling Jiu cocked an eyebrow.
"Humph! In the ancient times, we, the demonic beasts, were the masters of the Divine Land. Later on, you humans rose and began to compete with us, the demonic beasts, for this world! "
The Nine-winged Skydragon said coldly, "Later, your human race continued to produce all kinds of amazing talents, and finally defeated us!"
"We demon beasts either died or escaped, and we unlucky ones were locked in the Demon-sealing Tower until now!"
"So, the reason you are locked up here is because of racial conflict, and not because you have committed an unforgivable crime?" Ling Jiu was dumbfounded.
"Of course!"
The Nine-winged Skydragon snorted coldly. "We have lost, and we are convinced of our defeat, but we will never allow you humans to impose a bad name on us!"
"He's a man who dares to take responsibility for his actions!"
Ling Jiu nodded slightly. "But I still can't let you out."
"Why?"
The Nine-winged Skydragon said.
"Because you are a demon beast, and I am a human!"
Ling Jiu said. "There has been irreconcilable conflict between us since ancient times. My ancestors locked you up here, how can I go against my ancestors' will and let you out?"
"If my ancestors knew about this, they would scold me for being unfilial!"
"What do you want, human?"
The Nine-winged Skydragon was a little mad.
"I heard others say that in ancient times, some of the greater demons would also seek refuge with us humans?" Ling Jiu rolled his eyes and said slowly.
"They are all a bunch of traitors!"
The Nine-winged Skydragon gritted its teeth. "In ancient times, when humans and beasts fought, some cowards saw that humans were getting stronger and stronger, so they betrayed us, the demons, and joined the humans, and finally turned against us!"
"I will never forgive these traitors, they are more hateful than humans!"
"Yes, they are traitors!"
Ling Jiu said faintly. "But it turns out that their choice was right!"
"By following humans, they not only survived, but also gained a very high status! So, can you say that their choice was wrong? "
"…"
The Nine-winged Skydragon was speechless.
"Whether it is the rise of the humans, or the war between humans and demons, or the betrayal of some demons, or the recent rise of the Direbeasts, it is all about fighting for survival space, and survival!"
Ling Jiu said faintly. "It is just to survive, no matter what they do, it is understandable. What is there to blame?"
The Nine-winged Skydragon did not know how to refute, and after a while, a few words came out of its mouth. "Human, what are you trying to say?"
"After saying so much, I just want to tell you that I will not let you out for no reason, unless... you surrender to me!"
Ling Jiu shrugged and looked at the furious Nine-winged Skydragon. "Of course, you can also refuse me, but in that case, you will continue to stay in this godforsaken place!"
"By the way, the Immortal Qi in the outside world is recovering, and I have also found many immortal blessed lands similar to the Penglai Immortal Island!"
"The Immortal Qi there is extremely rich, and the flow of time is also very fast. A day in China is a few years there!"
Of course, there were no immortal blessed lands. The immortal blessed lands that Ling Jiu mentioned referred to the planets near the white hole, and these places were indeed immortal blessed lands.
"The reason why my cultivation is so fast is that I stay in a magical immortal mountain all year round, where the flow of time is 99 times faster than China!"
"Well, that's all I have to say. You're on your own!"
As he said that, Ling Jiu turned and left. From the conversation with the Nine-winged Skydragon, he knew:
The ancient times were not like what was described in some prehistoric Xianxia novels in his previous life, where the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity, Sorcerers and Demons fought for hegemony, and Sages ruled the world...
In the real ancient times, there were only the Direbeasts that ravaged China, and the human ancestors who rose from the bottom and eventually defeated the Direbeasts to dominate the world.
And the Nine-winged Skydragon, a Direbeast that could compete with the human ancestors as early as ancient times, was undoubtedly a very powerful fighter!
Think about it, these guys had been imprisoned in the Demon-sealing Tower for 5,000 years, unable to absorb Gene Arcana for such a long time, and their strength was constantly declining. Yet, they still had the strength of a Level 9 or pinnacle super-clustered. How powerful would they be in their heyday?
It would be a pity to kill such existences, and keeping them alive was the best way to make the most of them!
PS: Let me explain in advance, China's ancient mythology system is mainly divided into four categories:
Ancient mythology, religious mythology, folk mythology, and literary mythology.
The author, Jun Du, was most interested in ancient mythology, such as Pangu creating the world, Nüwa mending the sky, Jingwei filling the sea, Kuafu chasing the sun, Yu the Great controlling the flood, Gonggong hitting Mount Buzhou in anger, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Shennong tasting herbs, Cangjie creating characters...
So, this book only covers ancient mythological figures, such as Pangu, Fuxi, Nüwa, Kuafu, Suiren, Shennong, the Yellow Emperor, Chiyou...
There will be no religious mythological figures, such as Hongjun, the Three Pure Ones, the Four Emperors, the Five Elders, the Jade Emperor, Guanyin, and Sun Wukong.
There will be no primeval plots, such as Hongjun preaching, the Great War of Sorcerers and Demons, or the battle between Buddhism and Taoism.
Let me make it clear in advance, if there is anyone who is dissatisfied with this, come and beat me up!
