Chapter 854: The Terran Race's Decline
The old man spoke eloquently, and what he said subverted Jiang Xuan's previous cognition in the Three Thousand Worlds.
It turned out that there were many races in the Heavenly Domain, and among them, there were upper third-class, middle-sixth grade, and lower ninth-rate.
Since the primeval times, the nine god kings of the world have been in charge of the Mandate of Heaven and redefined the list of primeval races, and the human race has always been in the position of the lower ninth.
Among the countless races in the Heavenly Domain, the Terran race was far inferior to many other races in terms of quantity and quality, which formed a strong conflict with Jiang Xuan's worldview.
In the Three Thousand Worlds, the Terrans are well-deserved overlords, occupying almost all major realms. Jiang Xuan has always been proud of being a human race, and the human race is a natural leader of all souls.
However, in the Celestial Domain, all this has been turned upside down, and the Terrans are at the bottom of the continent's food chain, with a large number of races to oppress them.
Jiang Xuan listened to the old man's words, his heart was shocked and heavy.
"How can this be? Countless monks in the Three Thousand Worlds are eager to ascend to the Heavenly Realm to achieve eternal life, but are all of these fake?"
Jiang Xuan muttered, since ancient times, the Heavenly Domain has been outlined in countless magnificent imaginations in the Three Thousand Worlds, it should be a fairyland full of treasures, which is very different from what he sees now.
"Old man, is it also false to say that you can live forever in the Heavenly Domain?"
Jiang Xuan blurted out.
"Eternal life?"
When the old man heard this, he glanced at the clansmen around him, but the corners of his mouth showed a wry smile.
"The Divine Continent is full of opportunities, the material is extremely rich, and very few people die of old age, so in theory, eternal life is naturally possible. However, there is natural selection here, and there are constant wars between the god kings, and it is extremely rare for people who can truly live forever. ”
"And as the bottom of the food chain, our human race can only have the possibility of eternal life by hiding in the pure land that has been opened up. And even if you hide in the Pure Land and stay at home, there are often tragic situations where the entire Pure Land is slaughtered. ”
The old man's eyes were gloomy, and they already knew Jiang Xuan's identity and origin more or less.
Eternal life exists, but no one has the ability to live that long!
With the great abundance of materials in the Heavenly Domain and the highly developed cultivation civilization, Shouyuan was no longer a factor that shackled the development of hundreds of millions of living beings, but it was replaced by a more devastating war.
The old man's words had a huge impact on Jiang Xuan, Jiang Xuan closed his eyes and digested these contents for a long time.
His heart was heavy for a while, and he couldn't help but think that the ancient emperors had gone to great lengths to take the second road to heaven, could it have something to do with it?
"Engong, let's go back to the Pure Land first, it's not safe outside. ”
The old man reminded Jiang Xuan, Jiang Xuan nodded silently and followed behind everyone.
The so-called Pure Land is the dwelling place opened up by the human race on the continent of the gods, and it is rarely known to outsiders except for their own people.
Because once it is known, it may attract powerful ethnic groups to encircle and suppress it.
Today, the old man's gang was rescued by Jiang Xuan, and although he was worried about attracting revenge from the rain lizard clan, he still brought him back.
Walking into the hidden deep mountains and old forests, after nine twists and turns, a group of people finally returned to the pure land where the old man's house was.
The Pure Land is actually a secret realm, similar to the Dongjia Village that Jiang Xuan had seen in the past, but compared to Dongjiaxuan, the population in the Pure Land is significantly larger, and the life is richer.
Stepping into the Pure Land, Jiang Xuan saw a large number of familiar human buildings, and the human beings in the Pure Land, although their clothing was different from that of the Three Thousand Worlds, they also had a lot of similar life atmosphere.
The old man who was rescued by Jiang Xuan was surnamed Sun, and when their sparsely populated team returned from outside, many residents immediately rushed up.
Seeing that there were many fewer people than when they left, the eyes of a large number of Pure Land residents dimmed.
At the same time, many people looked at Jiang Xuan, their eyes full of vigilance and hostility.
"It was this gentleman who saved us, and if it weren't for his help, we wouldn't be there. ”
Sun Lao hurriedly introduced Jiang Xuan to everyone.
Hearing his words, many people's faces softened a little, but there was still vigilance in their eyebrows.
Jiang Xuanwei greeted this group of people enthusiastically, and the hostility revealed by some of them made him feel uncomfortable.
In the conversation between Sun Lao and the residents of the Pure Land, Jiang Xuan learned many things.
It turned out that Sun Lao and the others were going out to collect some necessary resources, and such a task would only take place once in the Pure Land for a long time. Each time, lots were drawn from among the residents, and those who were selected had to go out in groups.
This mission killed a lot of people before Jiang Xuan appeared, including Sun Lao's two nephews.
"The world is getting harder, and it seems that we have to go out less often. Someone sighed in the discussion, "It was also a saint."
"Yes, try to save some necessary expenses, and you should be able to reduce the number of trips. ”
Many people chimed in, saying that they would make a joint proposal to the presbyterian church.
Jiang Xuan listened silently and depressed.
The dignified human race, the world is so vast, but it can only be trapped in a secret realm, and it is called a pure land outside the world.
And the saint who will be admired by countless people in the Three Thousand Worlds does not have the style and bones he imagined.
In the face of a powerful foreign enemy, it is not a resistance to fight, but there is a tendency to perish in silence, which makes Jiang Xuan very uncomfortable.
Old Sun quickly took Jiang Xuan to meet the ruler of the Pure Land, although the old man was a little cowardly, but he was very kind, and wanted to give Jiang Xuan, who had nowhere to go, a place to stay, even if he didn't know that Jiang Xuan didn't actually want to stay here.
The Pure Land is ruled by the Council of Elders, and the ruler is a quasi-emperor with dual divine positions.
Jiang Xuan found that the cultivation of men, women, and children in the Pure Land was generally not low, and saints could be seen everywhere.
The cultivation environment of the Heavenly Domain is extremely favorable, and all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures that promote cultivation can be seen everywhere, plus as long as they don't encounter powerful enemies, they can almost live forever, so people's cultivation is much higher than that of the Three Thousand Worlds.
Like Sun Lao, Jiang Xuan was shocked to hear that he had lived for nine thousand years on the road before.
Such an age is simply unimaginable in the Three Thousand Worlds, but it does not seem too rare in the Pure Land.
Some of the human beings in the Heavenly Domain have a concept of time, and a hundred years seem to have just happened yesterday.
However, in terms of age, the cultivation of Sun Lao's sage realm is very ordinary, and it is almost exchanged for a long lifespan.
And as far as Jiang Xuan knew, Sun Lao had lived for so long, and he was only unlucky enough to be drawn twice, and his actual combat ability and even experience were far inferior to those of the same level in the Three Thousand Worlds.
"Where are you from?
The ruler of the Pure Land looked at Jiang Xuan and said in a slightly unkind tone.
This is a quasi-emperor who should be believed by countless people in the Three Thousand Worlds, but in Jiang Xuan's eyes at this moment, he is not much different from the patriarch of the small family who is conformist and xenophobic.
Jiang Xuan felt the rejection of outsiders by the residents of this Pure Land, they were used to a comfortable life, and they didn't want the emergence of variables to ruin all this.
It's Sun Lao, if he hadn't saved his most beloved two hundred and thirty granddaughters, maybe he wouldn't have treated him like this.
"Don't worry, I'll be out of here today. ”
Jiang Xuan said straight to the point, as soon as his words came out, the face of the ruler of the Pure Land suddenly relaxed slightly.
Sun Lao, who was beside Jiang Xuan, heard that his face changed slightly, and he wanted to keep it, but he was glared at by the ruler, and then he could only shut up.
Jiang Xuan took in everything, and secretly sighed in his heart that the world was declining, and the human race was no longer strong.
"Treat him well and don't let others think we're rude. ”
The ruler said with a smile, and then left under the pretext of being busy.
And Jiang Xuan followed Sun Lao back to his residence.
"Engong, there is a lot of danger outside, you should stay. ”
Sun Lao sighed on the road, although he saw that Jiang Xuan's strength was strong, but there were thousands of powerful alien races outside?
"I'm not used to being too comfortable, and I'm looking for someone. ”
Jiang Xuan shook his head and said, what he didn't say was that if he was trapped in this pure land for the rest of his life and didn't go out, he would rather die.
"Comfort is the way to longevity, Engong, you are not very old at first glance, and you still don't understand this truth. ”
Sun Lao is a little dependent on the old and sells the old.
Jiang Xuan smiled silently, most of the people in the Pure Land seemed to have been polished by the long years, and he hoped that not every Pure Land human race would be like this.
It doesn't matter if you are in the ninth rank of the primeval ten thousand races, the dragon is still trapped in the abyss. The most feared thing is that human beings have lost their integrity since ancient times, in that case, they will really lose hope forever and can only be reduced to other people's blood food.
"Elder Sun, I have a few questions I want to ask before leaving, and I hope you can answer them without hesitation. ”
Jiang Xuan said solemnly, he didn't plan to stay longer, and decided to leave after asking questions.
Although Engong asked questions, the old man knew everything. ”
Sun Lao said respectfully.
"Have you ever seen a human like me?"
Jiang Xuan groaned.
Sun Lao hesitated for a moment, and then said. "Eun Gong should be a person who has ascended to the Nether, right?"
Talking to Jiang Xuan along the way, he knew almost nothing about the Heavenly Domain, and Sun Lao, who had lived for so long, had guessed more or less.
Jiang Xuan nodded without denial, happy in his heart, saying that he couldn't get useful news from Sun Lao's mouth.
"The people who ascended are different from the Pure Land natives such as us, they are all in the armies of the major god kings, which is relatively rare, and the old man has seen one before Engong. ”
"In the army of the God-King?"
Jiang Xuan's face was stunned.
"Yes, the nine god kings on the continent are divided, the kingdom of gods is numerous, and wars have been going on for many years. The Ascended are in the service of war, and they are far more courageous and skilled than our native-born Pure Land inhabitants. ”
Elder Sun's words made Jiang Xuan's heart awe-inspiring, serving the war? The outstanding people of all the planes who had tried everything to come to the Heavenly Domain were actually used as tools for the war of the alien god king?
"Almost all of the people who have risen are under the jurisdiction of the military, and this is the first time I have heard of someone like you. ”
Sun Lao was a little confused, Jiang Xuan was not like ordinary people who had ascended, as far as he knew, people who had ascended were mostly taciturn, strictly abiding by the precepts, and there were few solitary people.
Jiang Xuan was silent, he had taken a special heavenly path, which was of course different from other Ascendants.
At this moment, Jiang Xuan understood a little, and there was a sadness in his heart.
Tianjiao characters in various planes, but all those who have taken the road of the Heavenly Palace, have become tools for the war between gods and kings?
The decline of the human race, the restraint of the ascendants, and everything in this place all made Jiang Xuan's heart burn.
