An image was projected from the wooden tablet and displayed in front of Lu Chen.
He saw an extremely long battle line filled with cultivators from various races. At the front of the line stood seven people. Lu Chen recognized one of them at a glance.
It was the East Mountain Ice God from the ancient Snow Mountain City!
Opposite them was an even larger army of demonic beasts.
Countless demonic beasts swarmed towards the human army! Even the sky was blocked by the flying demonic beasts, making it impossible to see the sun.
The battle was extremely tragic. At the beginning of the war, the cultivators could barely resist. However, as the demonic beasts were reborn again and again, their strength greatly increased. It became increasingly difficult for the humans to resist.
Finally, the cultivator army began to collapse!
Lu Chen was dumbfounded. Such a terrifying scale of war far exceeded any previous war in the Heavens.
Moreover, the Fifth Heavens were all fighting in their true forms. When people died, they really died!
The cruelty of war was vividly displayed here.
The voice of the Origin God sounded again. "This is only one confrontation in the Great War of Gods and Devils. There are countless battles taking place in various cities of the Fifth Heavens. Corpses and remains can be seen everywhere. "
The scene changed to a certain city that had been captured.
The buildings here were beyond recognition. Thick smoke billowed everywhere. On the streets, children helplessly searched for their parents and relatives among the corpses on the ground.
However, some demonic beasts passed by and mercilessly tore the children's bodies apart.
The children in the Fifth Heavens should be the children of the aborigines. Even the cultivators could not protect themselves. Who would care about their lives?
The scene changed again.
A cultivator riddled with scars dragged his heavily injured body to a secluded village. The villagers treated him respectfully.
However, he took a fancy to a young and beautiful woman among the villagers. He actually molested the woman in front of the villagers who saved him!
After his injuries were healed, he mercilessly massacred the entire village!
Lu Chen's eyes widened. Was this also a scene from the Great War of Gods and Devils?
"In the Great War of Gods and Devils, the cultivators swore to protect the Fifth Heavens. However, they only protected themselves! In their eyes, we are nothing but livestock! "
"We natives have always been a foil to you cultivators, but it seems that even the Jiutian have forgotten that we are also living people!" The Origin God's tone was a little angry.
"We have family, we have friends, we have joys and sorrows, we have dreams, we have emotions!"
"However, a long, long time ago, our protectors lost an important war, causing this place to become the Fifth Heaven today! And we have become livestock in your eyes! "
The scene disappeared, leaving behind only Lu Chen who was deep in thought.
After a long while, the voice from the wooden tablet sounded again.
"What's laughable is that I exchanged my life for the Fifth Layer of Heaven, and I also left behind a hundred Origin God Tokens, but I still couldn't change the fate of the natives!"
"Solipsistic, tell me, is this the will of the heavens …"
Lu Chen was silent for a long time, then let out a long sigh.
"I don't know if it's the will of the heavens, but I do know that there are still people working hard to change their fate!"
"I know, I also saw it. Generation after generation of people have obtained power from the Origin God Tokens, and they are also passing down the Origin God Tokens. It's just that after three thousand years, I still haven't seen the person who can change the fate of the natives!"
Lu Chen didn't know what to say. Three thousand years wasn't a short time, and it wasn't something that could be comforted by a light sentence like "there will always be such a person".
"Solipsistic, I unknowingly told you so much … You still haven't answered my question. If restarting the Fifth Layer of Heaven means restarting some war, will you open this spirit vein?" The Origin God suddenly returned to the original topic, as if he had to know Lu Chen's answer.
"You have seen the cruelty of the war just now. Will you let it repeat itself?"
Lu Chen took a deep breath and asked, "Why do I have to answer you?"
"Because … you can't open the array on the ground! This array was set up by me! "
"You? You sealed the Origin Crystal? "
"Dragon-type Magical Beasts aren't the only ones who don't want you Immortal Cultivators to become stronger!" The Origin God said coldly. "From this point, I am on the Magical Beasts' side."
Lu Chen frowned slightly. The Origin God did have sufficient reasons to not want the Immortal Cultivators to become stronger!
"If I open the spirit vein, what effect will it have on the Magical Beast Army? Why does the Black Qilin seem to want me to open the spirit vein?"
The Origin God's voice replied, "The spirit vein will allow the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to multiply, but in a short period of time, the Immortal Cultivators won't be able to enjoy the benefits of an abundance of spiritual energy. The Sovereign Magical Beast destroyed the Spirit Stone mines everywhere. Apart from its own growth, it also cut off the way for you to obtain the Extraction Scroll. Therefore, in a short period of time, you won't be able to improve much. "
"For the Magical Beast Army, for example, the Black Qilin, this array was set up by me, but it was the one who maintained the array for thousands of years! When you open the spirit vein, part of its power will return to its body! "
"You only saw the Black Qilin let you go, but you don't know that at that time, the Black Qilin's power was less than one-tenth of its peak …"
Lu Chen took a deep breath. So it wasn't the Black Qilin that missed the opportunity to kill him, but he missed the opportunity to kill the Black Qilin. No wonder that fellow ran away so quickly … it was a trap!
Lu Chen glanced at the Origin Crystal. After knowing so much, would he still open the spirit vein?
After thinking for a long time, Lu Chen shook his head. "I'm not sure either … I don't really care about the reward of that mission. It's just a Spirit Stone mine. And if I give up the remaining four spirit veins, the Four Heavenly Kings of the Magical Beast Army's power will decrease sharply. Perhaps the Immortal Cultivators will be able to stop the God and Demon Army … "
After hearing Lu Chen's answer, the Origin God suddenly laughed!
"Hahahaha, no wonder Ah Tie would make an exception and give the Origin God's Token to an outsider like you!"
"Hmm?"
"Lone Tyrant, if it were any other Immortal Cultivator, they would have impatiently opened their spirit meridians just for the sake of the increase in their strength. They don't care about the lives of the natives at all. "
Lu Chen shook his head. "My friends are here … Ah Tie, Xiao Hui, Xue Er, Tai Shu, those Hunting Dragon Village villagers who gave me gifts … What's the difference between Tai Star and my hometown … During the Great War of Gods and Demons, even Immortal Cultivators couldn't protect themselves, let alone them?"
"Only you would compare the natives with the people of your own world, let alone become true friends with them." The Origin God said.
"Solipsistic, don't you understand? When you opened the spirit vein under the Heavenly Lake, the Demonic Beast Supremacy was reborn. The Four Heavenly Kings of the Demonic Beast gave up the spirit vein and returned to the Demonic Beast Army. The Seven Ancient Gods awakened one after another! Solipsistic, the Fifth Heaven is bound to usher in a disaster even more terrifying than the previous Great War of Gods and Demons! "
"Even if you didn't open the spirit vein here and the Four Heavenly Kings couldn't recover their power in a short time, it doesn't mean they can't recover! At the very least, they will have new Four Heavenly Kings! "
"If the Demonic Beast Supremacy doesn't die, it will be the beginning of the disaster!"
"The gears of fate have already been set in motion. No one can stop it … The second Great War of Gods and Demons is inevitable. It's only a matter of time."
Lu Chen frowned. "If that's the case, why do you still care whether I can open the spirit vein or not?"
The Origin God sighed. "This is only a small test for you, to let me see clearly what kind of person you are."
"Fortunately, Ah Tie didn't misjudge you!"
"I will open the spirit vein here for you! Not only that, I will also tell you the location of the other three ancient spirit veins. But you must promise me one thing. "
"What is it?" Lu Chen frowned.
"Do everything you can to stop the Demonic Beast Supremacy!"
