Kong Zhangxun let out a long sigh, then took Fang Yun's teapot and poured the tea into his mouth.
The head of the Kong family, a Half-saint, was drinking tea in big gulps, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. He didn't look like a scholar at all, but more like a hero.
Fang Yun felt a bit of heartache for his divine tea.
This retribution came a bit too quickly.
After emptying the teapot, Kong Zhangxun let out a long sigh, as if he had drunk too much, his eyes were a bit confused.
Fang Yun looked at the time. The imperial examinations were about to begin, and as the head examiner, he had to go back to the All Saints Palace.
If he didn't solve this matter, then today's trip would have been in vain.
Fang Yundao said, "Lord Yansheng, do you know the purpose of Bensei's visit?"
"I do know." Kong Zhangxun's tone was full of regret.
"What are you going to do?" Fang Yun asked.
Kong Zhangxun let out a long sigh and said, "What will come will come."
This time it was Fang Yun's turn to be puzzled. He didn't know what kind of riddle Kong Zhangxun was playing.
After a few breaths, Kong Zhangxun said, "Before my ancestor died, he said something to the head of the family. It has been passed down from generation to generation, all the way to me. Including me, no one was completely sure what it meant until today. "
"What did Kong Zhangxun say?" Fang Yun asked curiously.
Fang Yun knew that at the end of Huaxia's "Records of the Confucius Family", Confucius lamented that he was about to die. However, in the Saint Origin World, no one knew what Confucius said before he died.
"Before my ancestor died, he said, 'My path is exhausted, don't give me anything.' Then he said that if that person came, they had to listen to him. The head of the family asked who that person was, and my ancestor said that when that person came, they would know. "
Fang Yun frowned.
In Huaxia's "Records of the Grand Historian", Confucius was indeed too pessimistic and said, "My path is exhausted," thinking that his Confucian path was no longer feasible. In the ancient country of Huaxia, Confucius once said before his death, "No one can do it." What he meant was that no one could carry out his ideas.
However, before Kong Sheng of the Saint Origin World died, he said, "My Dao is at its end. Don't pass it on to others." This meant that he knew that his Saint Dao had reached its end, and he did not want anyone to continue inheriting his ideas and Saint Dao.
When he said these two sentences, Kong Sheng actually felt happy.
Fang Yun's eyes suddenly lit up as he recalled a detail.
The two Records of the Grand Historian recorded the same incident. In the fourteenth year of Duke Ai of Lu's reign, Duke Ai of Lu met a Qilin while hunting in Daye, and Kong Sheng took it away!
This was the famous story of "Western Hunting and Capturing Qilin".
In Ancient Huaxia, this was just a legend. However, in Saint Origin World, this was a turning point for Kong Sheng.
Because not long after, Confucius would be canonized as a saint!
Fang Yun suddenly revealed a mysterious smile and asked, "Where's that qilin?"
Kong Zhangxun looked at Fang Yun in disbelief, his voice trembling as he asked, "You … where did you go using the tributary of the Ancient Star River?"
"What do you think?" Fang Yun's lips curled into a strange smile.
Kong Zhangxun stared at Fang Yun for a long time, and his scalp and fingers were trembling. He was so excited that he could not control himself. Finally, he revealed a complicated expression and said, "If it's really you, no one in the Kong family dares to disobey."
"So straightforward?" Fang Yun asked with a smile.
Kong Zhangxun sighed and said, "You don't know. Every family head has been thinking about the last words of our ancestor. Our guesses are very similar. Our ancestor was open-minded and would not be immersed in his false reputation. Therefore, not only was he not afraid to see someone surpass him, he was even happy to see someone surpass him. Before his death, he became a Divine Ancestor and comprehended more. Therefore, he realized that someone would definitely create a new Dao and surpass him. Therefore, he was very happy. As for that person, we were all guessing, but we did not expect it to be you. Until … we got the speculation about you from the Demon Realm and the Dragons. Coupled with you suddenly asking about the Qilin, the most likely possibility was obvious. No wonder Kong Sheng gave you the power of the Spring and Autumn Annals. In this way, it was natural for you to be able to pass through the Nine Mountains and see the thing at the top of the mountain. "
Fang Yundao said, "Before becoming a Saint, I did not know. But after becoming a Saint, I understood why the lives of all Saints suddenly became shorter after the death of all the Quasi-saints."
"Sigh …" Kong Zhangxun sighed.
Fang Yun revealed a respectful expression and said, "After becoming a Saint, I realized that the lifespan of every Half-saint is obviously not just 200 years. After 200 years, if a Half-saint is unable to break through to become a Quasi-saint, they will gradually weaken. Birth, old age, illness, and death are human nature. However, the human Half-saint is not a Demon or Barbarian Half-saint. They are not so greedy and afraid of death. Therefore, they might as well die at their peak to preserve their strength and stabilize the tributaries of the Divine Path! "
Fang Yun looked up at the sky.
In the sky above the human race, the tributaries of the Divine Path River were vast and mighty.
In every tributary of the Divine Path River, there were more or less shadows of Half-saint.
Every time a Half-saint died, the tributaries of the Divine Path River related to the human race would strengthen by a bit.
This was the reason why the human race's growth was far faster than any other race!
Every Half-saint died at their peak and used their strongest strength to strengthen their descendants!
Fang Yun said again, "Other than the Divine Path River, they also have another battlefield …"
Kong Zhangxun said in surprise, "Some books are only preserved in the ancestral literary world. You have not read them yet, how do you know about that place … I understand. In terms of time, you probably know about it earlier than the ancestors. "
Fang Yun nodded lightly.
"Then this old man understands. This time, when you came back from Dragon City, you couldn't wait to reform. I'm afraid it is also because of that place."
Fang Yun nodded again.
"In that case, please give the order. The Kong family will follow your lead." Kong Zhangxun's attitude completely changed.
"About the Qilin, does anyone else know about it?" Fang Yun asked.
Kong Zhangxun shook his head and said, "Only the previous family heads know that the Qilin is related to that person, which is you. The others only guessed that the ancestors received the Qilin's guidance to become a Saint."
Fang Yun suddenly looked at the direction of the Inverted Peak Mountain and sneered, "Seems like you guys didn't mention anything about the fragment of the Dusk Void Sun?"
Kong Zhangxun hurriedly said, "This item is too precious and too important. If it is leaked, the Saints of the myriad worlds will join forces to attack Saint Origin World. Therefore, the Saints and Quasi-Saints who received this item did not dare to leak it out. Those brats do not know about it, otherwise, they wouldn't have stupidly gathered at the foot of the Inverted Peak Mountain. Do you want to … "
Fang Yun said casually, "You guys can settle it by yourselves. I will host the county-level examinations."
Fang Yun turned around and walked two steps before stopping at the steps of the pavilion.
"Kong Sheng is already very tired. Let him rest a bit."
Kong Zhangxun's expression changed and he finally sighed, "Yes, Saint Fang. From now on, the Kong family will withdraw from Kong City and return to Qufu. We will no longer be the head of the family and hand Kong City over to the Notre-Dame. After me, the Kong family will no longer have a family head, Half-saint! The remaining Saint Qi will be distributed by the Notre-Dame! "
"My Fang family has also lived in the Bloodlight World for generations." Fang Yun nodded and walked out of the Kong residence.
Kong Zhangxun looked at Fang Yun's disappearing figure and muttered to himself, "He did nothing wrong. The human race does not need an omnipotent Saint Ancestor. The people do not need a ruler who can control everything. Saint Origin World does not need a high and mighty Kong family. It does not even need the Saints who cannot be judged, including himself. Who would have thought that the Qilin was actually his … "
Suddenly, Kong Zhangxun shouted, "What if you only see white snow in front of you?"
"Someone will bring new green to you!"
Fang Yun's voice echoed in the pavilion.
