Luo Shizhen was a truly honest person. He studied and lived very earnestly, but unfortunately, he was not very smart. After repeating his final year of high school for two years, his grades still w...

It was He who killed almost everyone.
It was also He who forced Luo Shizhen to go back two thousand years to look for hope.
After two thousand years, he saw him again.
Zhulong's appearance has changed a bit compared to two thousand years ago.
Luo Shizhen's impression of Zhulong is that he is very...elegant.
Even though it has a human body and a snake tail, every scale on the tail seems to be shining and is kept clean, and the human face is even more neatly tidied.
But the candle dragon in front of him was rough, rough all over.
He hasn't even grown a full human face yet, and looks more like a half-snake. There's even dust on his scales, and all kinds of small, weird things crawling densely.
Luo Shizhen got goosebumps when he saw it.
The witches were in no mood to look at the monster's appearance. The ninth-level witches, who had previously faced seventh- and eighth-level monsters with ease, now felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Monsters and demons are different.
Monsters only attack humans.
The power of the monster is very strong. It can also pollute the minds of the witches, turning them into liches, and use its powerful strength to fight against its companions.
All the great witches were alert, but with their tribesmen and children behind them, they still rushed towards the Zhulong in the sky.
One after another, powerful monsters reappeared.
Nine-tailed fox, Xiangliu, Phoenix, Taotie, Qiongqi, Qilin.
However, these six strange creatures do not have human form and only maintain their most primitive body shapes when fighting.
They are more powerful than in modern times. Luo Shizhen has no doubt that if they use their current strength, just one of these monsters can easily destroy the Blue Planet two thousand years from now.
Their power was much weaker than it is now.
Why? Was it done by the current witch clan?
The few strange creatures that appeared later scattered and rushed towards other witch tribes. In this tribe, only Zhulong was fighting against the great witches.
Luo Shizhen knew that he would not be able to slap Zhulong even if he went up now, so he obediently followed the other little witches and hid in the house, just watching the battle outside through the cracks.
His actions were not noticeable because other small witches were also watching.
This battle was much more difficult than the previous ones.
The great wizards fell one by one.
The blood of witches and demons almost dyed the entire sky red.
In the end, after the great wizards paid a terrible price, Zhulong retreated with other monsters.
But a crack remained on the horizon, as if foreshadowing that they would come back after they had recovered.
After the war, the Wu tribe was filled with sadness.
Not only because many great witches were sacrificed, but also because many of the remaining great witches were in the process of alienation.
They were surrounded by their companions, lighting a bonfire and singing around it.
Luo Shizhen didn't understand the lyrics, but he could feel the sadness and desolation in them.
Until the singing stopped, an old witch holding a sharp spear in his hand walked up to the seriously polluted witch with a solemn face, with the tip pointing directly at her heart.
Luo Shizhen:!
Only then did he realize that the Wu clan seemed to have no energy users?
The injured great witches did not receive purification from the energy users, but instead held a ceremony and then sat there to be stabbed to death by their tribesmen?
"Wait a moment!!!"
Luo Shizhen jumped out quickly.
He didn't bother to think about why the witches of the witch clan were so powerful, with ninth-level witches everywhere and eighth-level witches as numerous as dogs, but there was not even a single energy user. These could only be studied slowly in the future.
"I have a solution! I can remove the pollution!"
This was the moment when all the great witches had gathered. Each of the powerful witches, who were two meters forty-five, or even three meters tall, stared straight at this "strange child" who looked only seven or eight years old.
If it were an ordinary person, under such a stare, they might get nervous or wait until the other person tells them to move before taking any action.
It was at this moment that the real slowness of Ke Luoshi became apparent.
He was not affected at all, as if there was a voice in his subconscious telling him that the witches present would not harm him.
Luo Shizhen quickly walked up to the great wizard who was almost stabbed to death, stretched out his hand, and white mist flew out, absorbing all the pollution from his body.
Strangely enough, there isn't much pollution.
The amount of pollution in Team Sui's body is a thousand times greater than this, yet Team Sui has remained conscious the entire time.
But these witches are obviously of the ninth level, but they cannot withstand even one thousandth of the pollution and are about to be transformed.
The moment Luo Shizhen was thinking, the white mist had already swallowed up the pollution on the body of this great witch, and then turned to swallow up the pollution on the bodies of other polluted great witches.
Under the gaze of everyone, the last trace of pollution was devoured.
The great wizard who had been most seriously contaminated and nearly stabbed to death stood up, flipped his hands in disbelief, and looked at Luo Shizhen again.
"You can actually remove the demon's curse?!"
She was the first woman to discover Luo Shizhen. After the pollution was removed, the wounds on her body healed at a rapid speed, and she soon became strong again.
The woman held up Luo Shizhen.
Just like in The Lion King, Simba was lifted up.
She shouted excitedly:
“This is God’s guidance!”
“God brought us this child!!”
The rest of the Wu Clan also became excited. They didn't even ask Luo Shizhen why he knew this trick. They happily accepted it. They raised the wooden spikes in their hands and made rhythmic sounds.
"Alas!"
"Alas!"
"Alas!"
Luo Shizhen struggled in vain and simply gave up.
He thought, now that he seemed to have status and trust, he should be able to know a lot about the witch clan, right?
***
The Wu clan really answered every question Luo Shizhen asked.
According to them, the monster appeared a hundred years ago. Before that, the sky cracked and a huge white stone fell down.
There were three characters written on it that had never been seen before. The strange thing was that even though they didn't recognize them, every witch in the witch clan could understand what they meant.
"Boundary Stone—"
The woman handed Luo Shizhen a cup of warm goat milk, watched him drink it, nodded, and said with confidence:
"At that time, our ancestors didn't know what it meant. It wasn't until the appearance of monsters that we gradually learned that boundary stones were naturally formed by heaven and earth, and they guarded the world."
Luo Shizhen suddenly realized: "Is this boundary stone from our world? The monster knocked it down, so they can attack our world?"
This is consistent with the myth of Nuwa mending the sky.
The woman shook her head. “Our ancestors thought so at first, but later we realized it wasn’t true.”
"That boundary stone is the boundary stone of the monster world."
"The world they live in is barren, unlike our world, which has a variety of colors and heavens and earth. The monsters broke the boundary stone and carved out space, hoping to seize our world."
Luo Shizhen felt an inexplicable blockage in his heart: "So, they gave up their own world and came to plunder our world."
"Yes, but how can we tolerate this? Over the past fifty years, the Wu Clan has fought numerous battles with these monsters, resulting in countless casualties among the Wu Clan, and ordinary people are powerless to resist. The monsters can invade our world at any time, and we are powerless to stop them. By now, the Wu Clan has gone from having hundreds of thousands of people to only tens of thousands."
"Originally there were a hundred of them, but now there are only three."
The woman's eyes were filled with anger as she spoke. "But the Wu Clan will never surrender to monsters! We've come up with a good plan. It's a good idea, but if we do it, the Wu Clan will be wiped out. We had already accepted our fate, but then you showed up and you can help us!"
Luo Shizhen nodded vigorously: "Okay, tell me, how can I help you?!"
He didn't think at all that there was no trace of the witch clan in modern times, and even the witch clan had become a part of mythology and legend.
He only knew that if something strange happened, he should fight.
The woman held Luo Shizhen's hand with a loving look in her eyes. After all, in her eyes, Luo Shizhen was only a few years old.
Luo Shizhen accepted this loving look well. He even liked being looked at like this, as it reminded him of his grandmother.
"The monster boundary stone has always remained in the human world, but it is dim and lifeless. A great wizard who foresaw the future once said that the boundary stone is the only thing that can restrain monsters, but it has not yet grown to sufficient strength. Only by helping it grow can we use it to seal the monsters to the other side of the sky."
The woman was very excited when she talked about this. During the fifty years of confrontation, many of her relatives and comrades died. Now, it was time to make a desperate move.
"Tens of thousands of witches will inject all their witch power into the boundary stone, allowing the boundary stone to regain its power."
"When the time comes, another great witch will fly up to the sky with the boundary stone and place it in a crack in the sky, allowing it to return to the demon world. From then on, once the boundary stone is erected, demons will naturally be unable to return."
Luo Shizhen thinks this plan is awesome!!
"So what can I do?"
"You can help us remove the curse!"
The woman laughed heartily. "There are over ten thousand people in my witch clan, all of whom have fought against monsters. Even children have accumulated curses in their bodies. Now, we have witch power to barely suppress it. When the time comes, all the witches will contribute their strength. Without witch power, they will be instantly transformed into monsters."
Therefore, the original plan of the witch clan was that everyone would commit suicide on the spot after giving up their witch power.
But now it's different.
"The gods have eyes! You have appeared. You can help us remove the curse. Once the witch power is donated, the witch clan can still survive!"
Luo Shizhen nodded heavily in agreement.
But I'm still a little curious.
"God...Who is the god of the Wu clan?"
“Hahahahahaha!”
The woman laughed and tapped her chest: "The god of the Wu clan is none other than the Wu clan itself!"
"The souls of my Wu clan who died in battle will all become gods! It's just that you and I can't see them."
Luo Shi really understood. This was the same as what his grandmother said. His grandmother also said that there is another world after death.
"Okay, I'll help everyone remove the curse. When do we start?"
The woman picked him up and said, "Now!"
Luo Shizhen had seen many people with strong mobility, but he had never seen anyone as strong as this one.
"So fast?"
"We must finish this quickly while the monster has just been repelled. Otherwise, when the monster comes again, it will be too late."
"That makes sense." Luo Shizhen was convinced.
He quickly followed the woman to an extremely huge rock.
This stone is dull and does not look like the colorful divine stone described in myths and legends. There are even cracks on the surface.
It looks like an abandoned piece of rock.
But the moment Luo Shizhen saw it, he had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, as if something was attracting him forward.
The white mist in his body also calmed down, no longer running rampant like before.
Luo Shizhen could even vaguely feel that the stone was sad.
Yes, as a boundary stone, being destroyed by creatures from its own world, if it had emotions, it would naturally be sad.
The witches have already started the sacrificial ceremony.
Groups of great wizards came forward to inject their wizard power into the huge stone, and Luo Shizhen was there to help them remove the pollution.
As the great witches went up and down one after another, Luo Shizhen also understood why the witch clan was so anxious.
Among these tens of thousands of witches, many were missing limbs, and many were even dying, as if they would die at the next moment.
This boundary stone is the last hope of the witch clan.
If the boundary stone is not used, the witch clan and other ordinary humans will be quickly destroyed by monsters.
Using the boundary stone, there is at least a glimmer of hope.
Luo Shizhen swallowed the pollution mouthful by mouthful with white mist, and watched with his own eyes as the originally dull stone gradually became glowing with the infusion of magic power.
These are all the colors of witch power. The witch power of the witch clan is actually qi of various colors. After being injected into the stone, it turns into a trace of colorful patterns on it.
Until dawn, with the first ray of sunlight shining, the huge stone burst into colorful light.
The tall woman who had first discovered Luo Shizhen and was rescued by Luo Shizhen stood up.
She stretched her arms, took a deep breath, and under the gaze of her powerless tribesmen, she lifted up the boulder that was almost ten meters high.
She is the only witch who does not have the power of sacrifice.
Because she carries the mission of returning the boundary stone to the demon world.
"Alas!!!"
The woman successfully lifted the huge rock onto her shoulders.
Her face flushed red and her muscles were trembling, but she forced a smile at Luo Shizhen.
"Thank you for saving my people. The gods will bless you."
Luo Shizhen, who had always been stupid, suddenly understood at this moment.
"What's your name?!" he asked loudly.
One of the woman's feet sank into the ground, and she flew hard into the sky. Soon she disappeared, leaving only one sentence behind.
"Wa, my name is Wa."
In the sky, the wind and clouds were changing. Zhulong must have sensed something and led the other monsters forward to stop them.
They launched various attacks on Wa, but Wa did not stop at all. She carried the huge rock and rushed straight to the sky with her bloody body.
Zhulong and other monsters wanted to get close to stop them, but were bounced away one by one by the five-colored magic stones.
This boundary stone belonging to the demon world finally stood on the side of humans.
The boundary stone returned to its place, and a dazzling white light burst out.
The rest of the witches covered their eyes, but Luo Shizhen was unaffected. He even sensed a familiar breath.
That white light...
How come it is the same as his Qi body?
A ray of light from the boundary stone shone into Luo Shizhen's body and merged with his Qi body.
Scenes flashed before Luo Shizhen's eyes, and he felt a little dazed.
etc?
Five-colored divine stone? It's me?
The white-haired man suddenly emerged from the ground and grabbed his hand.
"It's time to go~"
The rest of the monsters gradually disappeared under the light of the boundary stone. Only Zhulong retained his sanity and returned to the monster world. But before leaving, he seemed to have an epiphany and took the risk of looking at the ground of the human world from the crack in the monster world.
He saw nothing.
The place where Luo Shizhen was originally standing was now empty.
