Guan Yan told Little Rascal that the source of Yan Xiao's power was resentment. If they wanted to weaken Yan Xiao, the heads it devoured could not contain resentment.
The dead needed to be calm and indifferent. But how could this be easy?
The most difficult thing in history was death. Being afraid of death was human nature. That was why facing death calmly was praised.
Things like sacrifice were rare.
But no matter what, the Forest Ocean Sacred Clan's "sacrifice" was the reason why Yan Xiao grew so quickly.
Because the Forest Ocean Sacred Clan's "sacrifice" was not voluntary. They had always "sacrificed the heads of others".
Guan Yan suggested through Little Rascal that the Forest Ocean Sacred Clan stop sacrificing their heads and choose to defend their land. They would use a long time to weaken Yan Xiao.
This idea was feasible. The entire Forest Ocean Sacred Clan retreated to the Land of Divinity. Once Yan Xiao knocked on the door, they would only defend and not counterattack. Even if casualties were inevitable, Yan Xiao might not be able to last long.
And once their power started to dissipate, their losses would decrease every year. It was foreseeable that this choice would cause the Sacred Clan to suffer heavy casualties, but the result was clear. They would walk towards the light.
Actually, if the Forest Ocean Sacred Clan had some understanding of Yan Xiao from the start and did not kill it in a hurry, perhaps everything would be different.
But things had already developed to this point.
Under his mind-reading ability, Jiang Wang and the others walked through Guan Yan's memories and flipped through the Forest Ocean Origin World of that era … …
At that time, the Forest Ocean Sacred Clan still had a system of elders. The seven elders made up the Sacred Clan's affairs.
The elders used their own methods to verify the authenticity of Little Rascal's information. But the choice they made was completely beyond Guan Yan's imagination!
The elders of the Forest Ocean Sacred Clan believed that if they stopped sacrificing their heads, Yan Xiao would kill without restraint in his rage. The Forest Ocean Sacred Clan could not bear such a loss.
And as long as they did not stop sacrificing their heads, Yan Xiao would not needlessly kill the Sacred Clan members because of the requirements of the ritual.
Since Yan Xiao needed to consume resentment to grow, they would let those who sacrificed their heads die senselessly. If they did not even feel it, there would naturally be no resentment.
After all, the people who died were not from the Forest Ocean Sacred Clan.
The elders of the Forest Ocean Sacred Clan used forbidden arts and borrowed the power of the Dragon God. They created the "Night Invasion".
Su Qiyun had been searching for the truth of the "Night Invasion". She found the root cause in Guan Yan's memories.
The formation process of Night Invasion was complicated and difficult to replicate. However, its essence was the leakage of the "Source of the World" and the invasion of Chaos.
If it wasn't for the divine energy of the Divine Dragon Wood protecting them at night in the Forest Ocean Origin World, then everyone would fall asleep. Those who fell into slumber, if they did not have a connection with those who were awake, would return to chaos. (Staring is a type of "traction.")
Large batches of humans had died in the "Night Invasion", and this was the truth behind why the other tribes in the Forest Ocean Origin Realm had almost been wiped out!
The reason he used the word 'practically' was because no one had walked to the end of the Forest Ocean Origin, so he couldn't be completely sure. Those empty wooden houses and cave houses were telling the story without a word.
Even though Jiang Wang and the others had a detached perspective, they could still feel Guan Yan's trembling at that time …
It was Little Annoyance who took the risk to sneak out of the clan grounds and ignite the heart of the Divine Dragon Wood. Only then was Guan Yan able to escape from his deep slumber.
After experiencing Night's Invasion, Guan Yan finally understood.
On the surface, the Forest Ocean Origin Realm's dark period was caused by Yan Xiao, but in reality, it was because of the Forest Ocean Sacred Tribe's evil intentions.
Looking back at history, the Divine Shadow Lands were not exclusive to the Forest Ocean Sacred Tribe. Instead, it was a sacred land shared by many tribes.
In ancient times, the Forest Ocean Sacred Tribe was just a powerful tribe. They only took over the Divine Shadow Lands after expelling all the other tribes.
Later on, they took the oldest Divine Shadow Lands as their ancestral land and called themselves the Sacred Tribe. They felt that they were fundamentally different from the other tribes, and that they were naturally superior to the other tribes.
During the dark period, the Forest Ocean Sacred Tribe's thoughts had become twisted and their hearts had fallen to darkness. They worshipped violence and bloodshed, plundering and slaughtering as their second nature.
He had fantasized about this tribe because of Little Annoyance, but Little Annoyance was the Forest Ocean Sacred Tribe's only exception …
Buddhas had benevolent hearts, but Buddhas also had angry eyes.
Angrily, Guan Yan burned his sarira, manifested his vajra, and ascended to godhood.
He killed the Forest Ocean Sacred Tribe's elder group and slaughtered almost all of the Sacred Tribe's warriors who had helped the Forest Ocean Sacred Tribe.
At the end of his life, he supported Little Annoyance to become the Sacred Tribe's only priest.
He revised the history of the Forest Ocean Sacred Tribe and guided them to form the tradition of "hunting each other." He used more than 500 years to weaken Yan Xiao, and also used the 500 years to engrave honor and sacrifice into the bones of the Forest Ocean Sacred Tribe.
As for himself, his godhood body had decayed and his lifespan had dried up.
He only had a little true spirit left. He could not tolerate the chaos and was trapped in this world. He could not reincarnate and could only wander in the cracks of the world.
… …
After exiting from Guan Yan's mind-reading ability, Jiang Wang and the other two had different feelings, but they were all deeply shaken.
In Jiang Wang's opinion, the greatest thing about Guan Yan was not that he had weakened Yan Xiao and caused Yan Xiao's death 500 years later. Instead, it was his teachings to the Forest Ocean Sacred Tribe.
He had turned the Divine Shadow Lands from a dark and bloody place into the peaceful place it was now.
For the Forest Ocean Sacred Tribe to have someone like Qing Qishu who dared to take responsibility and sacrifice, it was all because of Guan Yan's teachings.
It could be said that his merits were immeasurable!
Guan Yan, who had mind-reading ability, could naturally sense Jiang Wang's thoughts.
"My Buddha is merciful, and karma will be repaid. Perhaps this small merit allowed my true spirit to not fade away for 500 years. I even figured out some cultivation methods that used the true spirit as the foundation. "
A little true spirit could still figure out cultivation and achieve a certain level of accomplishment!
Guan Yan did not seem to realize how shocking he was. He looked at Su Qiyun with a gentle expression. "That's why I could borrow your Spirit Jade to temporarily manifest my incarnation."
That's not all. Aren't you still able to use your abilities? Wu Quji sighed in his heart, but he quickly realized that in front of Guan Yan, it was no different from saying it out loud. In order to conceal himself, he purposely let his imagination run wild.
Guan Yan glanced at him and did not know whether to laugh or cry at his own thoughts.
Su Qiyun opened her mouth. "Those records …"
Guan Yan looked at her seriously and lowered his head slightly to express his apology.
"Those records were organized by me. I purposely left behind clues so that the later Descenders would target Yan Xiao. There was no need for other accidents. I apologize to the young lady for my presumption. "
The records in the Sacred Tribe's library were also Guan Yan's "legacy". Back then, not only did he "reshape" the history of the Sacred Tribe, he also left behind such arrangements. It was not an exaggeration to say that his plan was flawless.
Jiang Wang had some doubts at that time, but he could not think of this. He just did not know if Chung Geng Sheng could have discovered something in advance if he was here.
At this moment, Su Qiyun's emotions were extremely complicated.
She was led by the nose by Guan Yan's legacy. Of course, she was dissatisfied, but she did not resent him.
The truth of the "Night Invasion" that she pursued had already appeared, but the target of her revenge had already been eliminated by Guan Yan more than 500 years ago. At this moment, she felt a sense of loss.
"In order to express my apology …" Guan Yan looked at her and said, "I preserved a little of your friend's true spirit in the chaos …"
