Chapter 275 King Gu talks about ancient times
The saintess turned her expressionless face to look at Ning Xiaoxi, "It, like me, has lived for a thousand years."
Ning Xiaoxi's eyes widened suddenly. This news was explosive! Tianji was already a reincarnated person, so how come Tianxian was still a thousand-year-old ghost? She suddenly wanted to meet these two's mother. Who was this person who could give birth to such two oddballs!
"We were born together in the starry sky. After countless years of evolution, fusion, devouring, and slaughter, in the end, only the two of us remained of our entire race. I couldn't defeat it, and it chased me all the way. Just when I thought I was about to be devoured, I passed through this star field." The saintess's deep eyes reflected the changing stars, the cycle of life and death, and the rotation of reincarnation. "I was bound by a powerful being in this star field and crashed here." She pointed to the South China Sea. "There is an island there called Yingzhou. Even though I was severely injured, my power was still too strong, and his was too weak to withstand it. There was no other way but to establish a tenuous connection. He supported me, and I helped him eliminate his enemies."
Ning Xiaoxi was numb from listening. Was that the great war a thousand years ago that destroyed the foundations of the human race and the demon race?
“Those years are the most unforgettable and beautiful moments in my life.” The saintess’s desire to confide grew stronger as she spoke. “Human life here is too weak. Only demons are worthy of being my opponents. Suppressing the power of the stars to fight against those powerful demons here, I suddenly felt that it was really comfortable to have something to do every day when I opened my eyes.”
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Ning Xiaoxi shivered. Wasn't it the nine powerful human warriors who led humanity to destroy the demons? Which version of history is this guy talking about?
[Tuanzi, is it the same as what you recorded?]
【Completely different.】
"You mean, it was you who destroyed those demons?"
The saintess's face was full of longing. "Actually, it's not necessary to kill them. They absorb the spiritual energy of this world to cultivate, while I need the power of the starry sky. There is no conflict at all. It's just that my human brother wants to control this world, and he is a coward. He only wants to help his brother. Although he cannot fully form a contract with me, we are still connected by blood. I can only help him fulfill his wish."
Ning Xiaoxi was speechless. This was way too casual!
"After ten years of war, I killed the Demon Emperor, destroyed the Demon Lord, and completely broke through the defenses of both the demon and demon races. When I killed the Demon Emperor, I don't know what kind of demonic magic it used on me, but I suddenly gained consciousness." A light flashed in the Saintess's eyes, no longer the deep starry sky, but suddenly became black and white, like a person who had fallen into the mortal world and gained emotions.
The saintess's gaze fell on Ning Xiaoxi again. This time, she was no longer the ethereal and hollow Gu King, but a beautiful woman with flesh and blood.
"Then I destroyed that Demon Lord, and I suddenly realized that the power of humanity was growing stronger, the world's recognition of humanity was growing stronger, and humanity's fortune was constantly increasing. If I could become the ruler of this world, I could achieve true immortality and wouldn't have to worry about being devoured by it." The Holy Maiden's expression became excited, as if she remembered the wonderful prospects of that time. Then, her voice became low, "Unfortunately, just when I wanted to seize my brother's consciousness and establish my own kingdom, it came after me."
Ning Xiaoxi felt like she had just watched a grand drama. What was this? A Chronicle of Chasing and Killing in Another World?
The saintess looked at Ning Xiaoxi with deep affection and resentment, even a hint of grievance in her eyes, "Don't you have any pity at all?"
Ning Xiaoxi stared blankly at the aloof beauty as she asked coquettishly, "How did it find you?"
The resentful expression vanished instantly, replaced by an arrogant raised chin. "After all, we share the same lineage and are the only two remaining kings of our race. Only by absorbing each other can we become true powerhouses. Naturally, we have a connection that outsiders cannot understand."
Ning Xiaoxi was speechless. It was a love-hate relationship, a life-or-death struggle. "Back then, you already had the help of the strongest human race, so how could you still be controlled by it?"
The saintess lowered her proud head, her eyes filled with resentment. "Because it made a pact with that brother."
Ning Xiaoxi's heart skipped a beat. Did the Xia King also have a contract?
“At first, we didn’t know that when my brother established the human dynasty, we were overjoyed to have the world at his feet.” The saintess’s tone was no longer calm, and she began to grit her teeth. “Just when we were preparing to celebrate, it struck and drove all of us brothers and sisters out of the royal city. My brother said that if we wanted to live, we should stay far away.”
"Then just hide! You've been hiding for a thousand years already!"
The saintess's spirits visibly dampened. "But I wasn't reconciled. I went to the palace, saw my brother whom I hadn't seen in a long time, and then..."
"And then?" Ning Xiaoxi thought that meeting must have been quite interesting.
The saintess frowned. "I don't remember."
Ning Xiaoxi was momentarily stunned by the dazzling display.
"When I regained consciousness, I was already on Yingzhou Island, where I had landed. My brother was chasing me with it." The saintess looked puzzled. "It really wanted to devour me. I was very weak at that time and could hardly take human form. My contractor was also on the verge of death." The saintess touched her forehead, as if thinking. "Then, my brother let us go."
"Release you? How could I release you?" That's so disconcerting! I was just getting into it, and then it just ended.
The saintess looked at Ning Xiaoxi with the same puzzled expression, "He returned to his people with his last breath and asked me to choose a successor from among his people. And so, I began the process of constantly choosing a successor, constantly falling asleep, waking up, and falling asleep again, until now."
"How pitiful!"
The saintess regained her original expressionless demeanor, her deep eyes accompanied by a hollow voice, "Let's go to Yingzhou and take a look!"
"Boom!"
A series of intense fluctuations came from behind, and the saintess's expression cracked for a moment, her body trembling slightly. "Would this count as desertion?" A soft murmur rang out, "They have protected me for a thousand years. I am no longer that alien beast in the starry sky that only knows how to devour. I am the Gu King of the Li Clan."
Ning Xiaoxi watched as the Holy Maiden straightened her back, her empty face softening. "Though it was only a short thousand years, it gave my life color." The Holy Maiden raised her hand. "I never knew I could have feelings. I don't want to return to the cold starry sky anymore. I don't want to devour anymore. I don't want to watch my people die alone anymore!" A tear rolled down her cheek as she gazed into the depths of the mountains. "That's my home! I am the Gu King of the Li Clan!"
