Chapter 478 Communication Between Two Worlds
Monks are the roots through which Taoist masters obtain nutrients!
But then again, where is this not the case?
No matter which world it is, the lower class is the labor force for the upper class to obtain resources. Even if it is a beast, the strong party will often plunder the prey and even the lives of the weak.
And this seems to be the ‘truth’ that has never changed since ancient times.
"Your idea is wrong, at least here in Huanyu Realm, it is not like this." The Tree of Faith suddenly interrupted Zhang Wen's thinking.
'What did you say? ’ Zhang Wen was stunned.
"In the world of the universe, the strong have always been the target of being eaten by the weak. From the earliest ancient gods to the era we live in now, the stronger the life form, the easier it is for the public to dismember it. And this, that is, A part of the rules of the Universal Realm. To describe it as you expressed it before, it seems that it should also be the 'truth' of the Universal Realm."
‘The weak eat the strong? How can this be! If the fate of the strong is to be eaten by the weak, then why would anyone be willing to become a strong person? ’
"They are forced."
'What? ’
"Forced to become strong and forced to live in the forest of the first ring, the ancient gods of the Huanyu Realm will lead the more powerful life forms living in the middle and lower levels from the lower levels to the forest sea of the first ring every year, and in the first ring The ring cultivates them, and then allows these strong men to advance towards the transition of the ancient gods, or to explore the outside star realm. Finally, these strong men bring back resources to nourish the weak people living in the middle and lower layers of the ring world. This is a pattern that has been maintained in the Huanyu world since the fall of the ancient gods. You can also call this pattern the rules of the world."
‘Is this still possible? According to what you said, wouldn't those strong men who were forcibly selected resist? ’
"Resist against whom?"
'Of course they will resist whoever oppresses them. What I mean is, the rules of the world, don't they want to change these rules?'
"Why resist? This kind of rule can be said to be the basis for the existence of the Huanyu world to this day. This rule of the strong protecting the weak may seem strange to a monk from the Tianxuan world like you, but it is very important to us in Huanyu. For the living beings in this world, it is nothing more than an ordinary thing.”
'But they are obviously strong, but they would sacrifice their lives to protect the weak. This is not in line with human nature! ’
"This is in line with human nature. Outsiders, you must understand that the model of selecting strong people in the Universal Realm is a rule that has been continued for countless thousands of years, and among those who are protected by the strong, there are also their descendants. Later generations, and before these strong people became strong, they were also protected by the previous strong people. This approach, in our opinion, is a very normal and cyclical method that can be reasonably maintained. "
‘.’
"Sure enough, because of the different rules of the world, there are also some incommensurable differences in cognition."
'That's not the case. I can understand what you said. The operating mode of Huanyu Realm is like there is a rule that selects the most powerful people in a group to form soldiers, and then these soldiers stand in front of danger and protect behind them. of tribesmen. ’
"Is such that."
'It's a great approach, very idealistic, and makes me very envious, but you have to understand that the reason why this kind of rule was born is because there is a strong enough force to maintain it all, that is, The world will you talk about, if there is no such screening by the world will. Forgive my presumption, I don’t think this model can still be maintained. ’
"."
‘Furthermore, the model you mentioned has an obvious loophole. ’
"What loophole?"
'The selected strong people in your mouth have never been the real strong people in your world. The real strong people are the beings who selected them, not these selected people. ’
"The ones who are selecting them now are the life forms that were once selected."
Zhang Wen: ‘? ? ? ’
"You seem surprised?"
‘Yes, I’m surprised. If it’s really what you said, I think I really can’t understand the thoughts of the powerful people in your Huanyu world. Are all the people in the Huanyu world selfless? ’
"."
‘I mean, have these powerful men never thought of transcending this system? Hasn’t one of them appeared in all these years? ’
"I understand what you mean. Yes, there has never been the kind of selfish person you mentioned. At least in the history I know, there has never been such a person."
‘Including you? ’
"Of course, if I can, I am very willing to contribute to the entire Huanyu world. In fact, according to my calculations, if I had never met you, I would probably be one of the chosen ones to go to the First World after two cold winters. The First Ring of Woodland is trained to become one of the guardians of the world.”
The guardian of the world, the name of the powerful people in the first ring in the Huanyu world.
Just like the name, they guard the entire Huanyu Realm to prevent it from being destroyed by the outside world. The selected guardians inherit the will of the ancient gods and surround the periphery of the world, protecting the entire Huanyu Realm.
And this is also the origin of the name Huanyujie.
After a relatively long exchange, Zhang Wen found that he still could not understand these native life forms of the Universal Realm.
Because according to the Ancient Tree of Faith, they really all voluntarily became guardians and voluntarily died.
But. Isn't fear of death an instinct of life?
To the point that Zhang Wen even had the idea that 'are all the life forms in the universe like ants, with an undiscovered ant controlling the development of the entire group?', but Zhang Wen later overturned it himself.
Impossible.
On the one hand, such a powerful control force can control almost all the groups in a world. In Zhang Wen's opinion, such a life form is more surprising than the rules of the universe.
On the other hand, if such a powerful life form really exists, why would it control these 'weaklings' in the universe? With such a huge will, it is estimated that it can push many worlds, including the Tianxuan world!
'Could it be that it is really the difference between the worlds? '
After finding that he could not come up with an answer, Zhang Wen could only use the words of the life forms he knew in the universe to convince himself, and the life form Zhang Wen knew in the universe seemed to be only the Tree of Faith.
And in fact, Zhang Wen knew that there was another possibility.
That is, the Tree of Faith was deceiving him.
Zhang Wen was unwilling to think about this, because compared to the Tree of Faith deceiving him, Zhang Wen hoped that the Tree of Faith itself had also been deceived.
Therefore, Zhang Wen no longer bothered about this matter.
No matter who deceived whom, or whether the Universal World was really as magical as the Ancient Tree of Faith said, these had little to do with him, an explorer from the Tianxuan World.
Compared with the rules of this world, what really aroused Zhang Wen's curiosity was the inverted mountains in this world called the "Ancient God Kingdom".
There, it seemed to represent endless resources!
To be precise.
From the mouth of the Ancient Tree of Faith, the almost unrecorded fall of the ancient gods to the present, the life forms of the Universal World have been exploiting the resources owned by these ancient gods, and the intensity is even as great as the exploitation of the Star Realm!
However, even after so many years, the resources owned by these Ancient God Kingdoms still seem to have no intention of declining. To this day, they still provide a large amount of resources for the living beings of the Universal World, and if nothing unexpected happens, they will continue to provide them for countless years.
‘Compared to the natives of Huanyu Realm, these ancient gods’ kingdoms are the real treasures. I think the reason why that Star Lord set his sights on Huanyu Realm is for these ancient gods’ kingdoms, right? ’
To be honest, Zhang Wen is very interested in these ancient gods’ kingdoms. If he has the chance, he also wants to be one of the people who go to the kingdoms to mine resources.
Of course, he does it for himself.
If he can enter these ancient gods’ kingdoms, then whether he can bring the information of the kingdoms back to Tianxuan Realm in exchange for Chen Zhixing’s reward, or hide in those kingdoms directly and try to become the owner of one of them, this is a very good choice for Zhang Wen.
Unfortunately, now he is lying in the ancient tree of faith, his whole body is paralyzed, he is already a useless person and can’t do anything.
‘What a pity.’
Just when Zhang Wen was in close contact with Wuyuan and the ancient gods’ kingdoms.
On the other side.
The team of Chi Jiu and Lao Han and the other four people ushered in their first test after arriving in Huanyu Realm.
To be precise, they encountered the first life form of the Universal World. The other party was quite powerful, and was selected to become a member of the Guardian before the coming of this winter.
Is it a tree spirit with antlers?
Well, this half-human, half-deer monster with the attributes of plant spirits all over its body, forgive Chi Jiu for the first thought that "this is a tree spirit" after seeing it.
Then, something interesting happened.
The meeting between the four people and the tree spirit was not accidental, but the tree spirit took the initiative to appear in front of them after discovering them and conducting a period of investigation.
As for the purpose of meeting them.
"What, you mean, you want to invite us to become one of the guardians of this world with you?"
After learning the intention of the tree spirit, Chi Jiu was not feeling well.
A local guardian reserve force invites outside invaders to become one of the candidates to guard the world together?
What a crazy operation.
And what is even more unacceptable is the reason given by the tree spirit.
"You are strong enough. Compared with me, your life level seems to be even higher. With such a life level, you are qualified to become a member of the world guardian."
The half-human, half-deer tree spirit said to Chi Jiu and the other four very seriously. While speaking, it also raised its head and dug on the ground, as if to express affirmation.
Chi Jiu: "."
I always feel that the intelligence of the tree spirit in front of me seems to be insufficient.
After thinking about it, I feel that the tree spirit can't escape even if it turns against me in a four-to-one situation. Chi Jiu said to it: "Mr. Tree Spirit, do you know our identity? If you know, then you should have understood that we are different from you."
"I know, you are outsiders from other worlds." The deer spirit interrupted Chi Jiu's words, but its expression was still calm and serious: "But this does not prevent you from becoming the guardian of the world. As long as you are willing and have never done evil things like the sky fox from the same world as you, then you can still become the guardian of the universe."
Scarface: This deer knows we are outsiders! Brothers, do you want to kill it?
Thin male cultivator: This tree spirit seems to be very rare. If the negotiation fails, we can try to capture it and bring it back to Tianxuan Realm. I think it should be able to sell it for a good price.
Chi Jiu: This stupid tree spirit must be crazy, or is this world itself crazy? Recruiting outsiders to become the guardian of the Huanyu Realm, it's amazing that it can think of it!
Cold male cultivator: '.'
The four people have different mentalities, but the tree spirit in front of them does not seem to give up the idea of recruiting them.
Seeing that the four people did not agree, the tree spirit opened his arms to the four people and showed a sincere expression:
"The Universal World is an inclusive family. We welcome all creatures who have love, believe in beauty, have their own beliefs, and do not do evil. We sincerely hope that you can become a member of the Universal World, even if not as a guardian."
"You mean, even if you don't choose to become a guardian, you, the lives of the Universal World, don't mind us staying in the Universal World?" This time, it was the thin male cultivator with the King Wen's pure eyes who spoke. After listening to the tree spirit's words, he was very keen to discover this point and found that there was a lot of room for operation.
You know, although the Universal World is poor, it is a big world after all. If it can really accept outsiders unconditionally, then whether as a trading partner or as a "family branch", it is a very good place.
It's just that the thin male cultivator felt something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he asked this question.
"That's right." The tree spirit nodded, and his face was full of joy, as if he was really happy that the thin male cultivator had the idea of staying in the Universal World.
Am I wrong?
The thin male cultivator was a little confused. He felt that the life in the Universal World could not and should not be so stupid!
Especially the tree spirit in front of him was the reserve of the guardian of the world!
If the guardian of a world is in the form of such a fool, then what is the meaning of the existence of this world?
What?
You said that this world has been desolate and there is nothing worth coveting?
That's fine
Unlike the thin male cultivator.
After hearing the words of the tree spirit, Chi Jiu's hair stood up behind her.
Although she didn't know why, her excellent spiritual perception made her subconsciously want to avoid the invitation to stay given by the tree spirit.
This feeling was as if there was a little man in Chi Jiu's heart shouting at her madly.
Don't agree!
Don't agree to it!
Run!
Run!
Leave this world quickly! ! !
