"A … remnant of a soul?" Ling Chen muttered. However, 10,000 years ago, the 3 Moon Goddesses of the Moon Deities wanted to destroy the Shura. How could they allow him to have a remnant of his soul? They should have destroyed him completely.
"That's right." Being so close, the Shura's voice was deafening, "They thought that they had destroyed the Lunar Scourge and me. However, how could the Lunar Scourge be destroyed so easily? My last bit of consciousness was protected by the Lunar Scourge and remained in my bones. However, I was unable to wake up until today, when the Lunar Scourge woke me up again. It allowed me to open my eyes and look at the world 10,000 years later before I die. "
Ling Chen no longer had any doubts, "You are the previous owner of the Lunar Scourge?"
"That's right."
"It was the Lunar Scourge that made you a Shura?"
"Yes."
Ling Chen frowned and raised his right hand, "Then, as long as I wear this Lunar Scourge, I will one day become a Shura like you!?"
The Shura's blood-red eyes stopped on Ling Chen's face, and his voice was pale and quiet, "Yes and no."
"Yes and no? What do you mean? "Ling Chen asked.
"The Lunar Scourge is the evilest thing in the world, and it contains endless power. Only it can create a creature with the most evil power, the Shura. "
So it was like that … The Shura's words caused Ling Chen's heart to beat violently. The Shura in front of him was the previous owner of the Lunar Scourge. The reason why he could become a Shura was because of the Lunar Scourge! Then, did that mean that by following the Lunar Scourge, he would be influenced by its power and step by step … towards the path of the Shura?
"But you and I are different." The Shura's voice continued to sound in Ling Chen's ears, "Back then, I was controlled by the Lunar Scourge, but you conquered it. The Lunar Scourge can turn me into a Shura, but for you, unless you're willing, even if the Lunar Scourge returns to its complete form, it can only give you its power, and can't take the initiative to let you enter the path of the Shura. Since the Lunar Scourge's existence, you are the first creature to not be conquered by the Lunar Scourge, but instead conquer it. "
Shura's words made Ling Chen startled, and the irritation and uneasiness in his heart quickly calmed down. The Lunar Scourge could allow any living being it attached to to enter the path of the Shura, and as long as he wasn't willing, the Lunar Scourge wouldn't be able to affect him. After all, he was the master of the Lunar Scourge, and not its puppet … Thinking to there, he let out a sigh of relief, raised his head, and looked into the Shura's terrifying eyes as he said, "Then, because the Lunar Scourge became a Shura, you lost your consciousness and nature, and became a demon god that only knows how to kill. You killed countless people, and you must have suffered a lot … You must be very resentful, right?"
"Pain? Resentment? Why would I feel pain and resentment? " The Shura asked in reply, "Do you know how many living beings in the world desire to obtain the Lunar Scourge and become Shuras with unparalleled power? Becoming a Shura will eliminate all consciousness and nature, but I will also forget all the pain, the etiquette and rules of the world. I can kill anyone I want to kill, do anything I want to do, and destroy everything I want to destroy. I don't have to worry about anyone, anything, any rules, and everything will be trampled under my feet. Even True Gods, the sky, the earth, and the ocean will tremble because of me. I won't feel any pain, only endless pleasure … Becoming a Shura is the thing I don't regret in this life. Why do I have to feel pain and resentment?! "
Ling Chen: "…"
"Moreover, do you think that as long as you obtain the Lunar Scourge, you have the right to become a Shura?" The Shura stared into his eyes, and the blood-red gaze pierced into the depths of his heart like a sharp sword, "Do you know what kind of mentality a person has to have to have the right to become a Shura?"
What kind of mentality a person has to have to have the right to become a Shura …
Ling Chen thought for a while, then gave his answer, "A heartless person."
"Hahahaha …" The Shura laughed, and his laugh was exceptionally pale and calm, "Perhaps apart from me, all living beings in the world will give the same answer as you, thinking that only a heartless person can become a Shura. However, you're wrong, and everyone is wrong. The answer is the exact opposite. A heartless, emotionless, and heartless person will never be able to become a Shura. A person who can become a Shura is a person who is the most passionate, infatuated, and sentimental. "
The Shura's words caused Ling Chen to freeze, and his heart was filled with confusion and disbelief.
The Shura was the most emotionless and heartless creature in the world. He would slaughter all living beings he saw, destroy everything he saw, and never had any pity or emotions. Ten thousand years ago, the Shura was bathed in blood and slaughtered one-tenth of the living beings on the continent, causing all living beings on the continent to fall into endless fear. Anyone who mentioned the Shura would first think of his heartlessness.
However, the Shura in front of him said that a heartless person could not become a Shura, and that only the most passionate, infatuated, and sentimental person could become a Shura.
Ling Chen could not understand and accept such words at all. If this was said by someone else, he would only listen to it as a joke. However, the person who said these words was … a real Shura!
"You can't believe it, right? You don't need to believe it. One day, when you also become a Shura, you will truly understand what I said, "the Shura said slowly.
"I won't become a Shura." Ling Chen shook his head, "I have no reason to become a Shura, and I can't accept becoming such a person."
"The current you indeed has no reason to become a Shura. But no one knows whether there will be in the future. No one can predict or resist something like fate, not even a Shura. Since you've obtained the Lunar Scourge to follow you, your fate is fated to change because of the Lunar Scourge. Perhaps when the Lunar Scourge recovers and releases its sky-covering light, you will have a reason to become a Shura. "
Ling Chen still shook his head, "I don't have many goals, and I don't need too much power. I came to this world to return a favour. Obtaining the Lunar Scourge was purely an accident. I admire the Shura, but the Shura is too far away from my world, and will never have anything to do with my fate. To be able to personally see the all-powerful Shura of the past is enough for me to be satisfied. "
"Haha …" The Shura once again laughed, but this time it was no longer a pale laugh, but a meaningful one. A true Shura wouldn't smile because he didn't have any emotions. The Shura in front of Ling Chen wasn't a true Shura, but rather a 'person' who had lost the Shura's consciousness and emotions, as well as the last of the Shura's power. "Perhaps. Since that's what you think, you can continue to think that way. The world will naturally see what happens in the future. "
The Shura raised his head and looked at the dark sky, "I don't have much time left. To be able to look at this boundless sky after 10,000 years of destruction, I should be satisfied."
He lowered his head and looked at Ling Chen, "Young man, you have the Lunar Scourge just like I did back then, and you are the only human I've seen since I awakened. Perhaps this is fate between us. I have many things I want to say to you and the Lunar Scourge, but I don't have much time left. Before my soul completely disappears, can I ask you to help me fulfill my last wish … I, will give you sufficient repayment. "
A request from a Shura, this kind of name caused Ling Chen's heart to beat faster. He solemnly nodded, "If I can do it, I will do my best to complete it."
"Very good." The Shura nodded. At that moment, Ling Chen suddenly saw a trace of gentleness on his blood-stained face, as if ten thousand years of ice had suddenly melted in warmth.
"Please bring my bones back to my hometown and bury them in front of my wife's grave."
The Shura's bones were buried in the boundless ruins of the Moon Deities, but Ling Chen did not need to search for it. It was in Ling Chen's sight, and it was also it that tripped Ling Chen while he was running.
"I have already sent a message to Tao Tie, telling him that the crisis has been resolved, and he does not need to come here. Immediately take the Shura's bones and leave. Although the Shura's power was released for a short time, it was enough for the Forgotten Continent's Moon Deities to sense it. It won't take long for them to come here. "
Ling Chen nodded and walked towards the Shura's bones. The Shura's body was extremely tough. Even after 10,000 years, his bones were still intact, without any signs of decay.
…
Northwest of Azure Dragon City, a small town called "Peace".
"Little friend, do you have any uncles and aunts with the surname Chi Xuan?"
The little boy who saw the stranger ran away without answering.
"Everyone, is there anyone with the surname Chi Xuan here?"
"Chi Xuan? There's such a surname? Never heard of it. "
…
After wandering around the town for a long time and asking many people, they only had confusion and surprise about the surname "Chi Xuan."
Ten thousand years, the stars change, eagles fly, rabbits fly, and so many things can change. The Chi Xuan family might have been extinct a long, long time ago. Then it disappeared in people's memories. Ling Chen did not give up. After asking around for a while, he found out where the mayor lived and went straight there. This town still existed, and maybe there would still be news about "Chi Xuan," even if it was just a record.
"Hello, Mayor, can I ask you something? In your town, is there anyone with the surname 'Chi Xuan'? "Standing in front of the mayor of Peace Town, Ling Chen asked directly.
"Chi Xuan?" Hearing this name, the old mayor's face showed surprise. He looked at Ling Chen again and said, "A long time ago, we did have a family with the surname 'Chi Xuan', but this family never flourished. I think it was extinct a thousand years ago, and this surname disappeared forever. I just happened to read some old biographies in Peace Town not long ago. Young man, how do you know this surname? Could it be that you have some relationship with that disappeared family? "
In this world, there was no one with the surname Chi Xuan anymore? Ling Chen sighed in his heart. Although this result was regrettable, it was not surprising. After all, ten thousand years had passed since then.
"Then, did the Chi Xuan family leave anything behind?" Ling Chen asked, unwilling to give up.
"That, no." The mayor shook his head. "However, if you want to worship the ancestors of the Chi Xuan family, there is a place."
"Where?" Ling Chen's eyes lit up.
"Right in the center of Peace Town, under our town's sacred object … the Peace Tree. Legend has it that the Peace Tree was blessed by a peerless master and can survive for countless years. Up until today, it has survived for more than ten thousand years. Its branches and leaves are still lush and full of vitality. Legend has it that a long, long time ago, there was a terrible disaster on the continent. That disaster caused the surrounding towns and villages to be destroyed. Only this place was left unscathed. Everyone said that the tree had blessed us. Hence, that tree was called the Peace Tree. It has been protecting the peace of our Peace Town until today. According to the records of Peace Town, the Peace Tree was planted by the first ancestor of the Chi Xuan family. After that ancestor died, he was buried under the Peace Tree. "
Back then, the Shura almost destroyed the entire East. The area within a hundred miles of this place was turned into ruins, but only this place was preserved. Both the living creatures and the land were unscathed.
"I understand. Thank you, mayor."
Ling Chen immediately turned around and quickly ran toward the center of Peace Town.
