The Yuezhi continued.

White clothes?

Shen Qian, who had been somewhat nonchalant, suddenly sharpened his gaze.

"What's that person's name?" Shen Qian asked.

“I don’t know,” Dayuezhi shook his head. “He never said his name.”

"Please continue." Seeing that he couldn't get any more information, Shen Qian nodded.

"At that time, the Yuezhi clan was just a small clan that had fled from the river, and they were in danger of being devoured by the wild beasts of Mangshan."

The voice of the Yuezhi echoed faintly in the air, audible only to Shen Qian.

When the Yuezhi were mentioned, Chen Qian's thoughts couldn't help but wander for a moment.

It was previously mentioned that the Yuezhi tribe had existed for eight or nine hundred years, and that the Yuezhi had been alive since they settled in Mangshan.

Even if we include the predecessors of the Yuezhi clan, the other party's age is at least seven or eight hundred years old.

Considering that the other party is only cultivating spiritual power, then their lifespan is a bit terrifying.

No powerful cultivator from the Mountain and Sea Realm has died of old age in modern times, but according to scientific calculations, the natural lifespan of a cultivator in the first level of the Mountain and Sea Realm is approximately between three and four hundred years.

The fact that the other party had never even cultivated a physical body, yet survived for eight hundred years, is somewhat absurd.

Or perhaps people in ancient times lived longer?

"The white-clad man who followed us displayed great strength. He did not attack us, but stayed with the Yue clan for a while."

Soon, Chen Qian's thoughts were drawn back by the voice of the Yuezhi.

"He taught us how to hunt, imparted to us the most basic cultivation methods, and taught us to plunder the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and gather scattered fortune... With his help, the Dayue clan successfully established itself in Python Mountain."

"We don't know what agreement he reached with the snake god, but the snake god began to protect us generation after generation. All we need to do is the most devout worship and sacrifice."

"Those were truly... wonderful times."

The Yuezhi smiled and said, “Although the environment of Mangshan is very harsh and many people die every year, the Yuezhi clan has still grown into a large clan with a population of over 10,000.”

"If... if the serpent god hadn't suddenly perished, perhaps I would never have remembered that prophecy."

"What prophecy?"

Shen Qian, who had been listening intently, couldn't help but ask.

"Every gift of fate comes with a price tag attached in secret."

The Yuezhi said slowly, "This is what he told me. Only today, when I saw you appear, did I understand what it meant."

Shen Qian's heart sank. Sure enough, he had a premonition of something when he heard the white-clad man appear.

"Did that person mention me in their prophecy?"

“He said that another strange person would come here a long time later, and I… am the one waiting for him.”

The Yuezhi stared intently at Shen Qian.

"Am I strange?" Shen Qian tried to shake off the feeling that seemed "destined".

“You do not belong to any region I know. You have no reverence for the gods, yet you naturally understand their language. You see the spatial artifact but your eyes show no emotion. It’s as if you appeared out of thin air.”

The Yuezhi said calmly, "You and he are almost identical; you are both strange people."

"Then... what is my purpose?" Shen Qian stopped struggling and asked in a deep voice.

"Seventeen years ago, the aura of the Serpent God began to weaken on the earth, and in those short seventeen years, the population of the Great Yue Clan has plummeted from tens of thousands to just a few thousand."

The Yuezhi fell into reminiscence again, “After losing the protection of the Snake God’s fortune, death, disaster, and disease have plagued us. With our weak fortune, we are powerless to resist the harsh environment of Python Mountain. In fact, even if the Qi God hadn’t appeared today, our Yuezhi clan wouldn’t have lasted more than a few years.”

"But I'm still not reconciled..."

For the first time, the Yuezhi's expression showed a strong fluctuation. "I was just thinking that perhaps there are other ways for the Yuezhi tribe to continue, so I want you to leave before sunset."

Shen Qian seemed to understand but not quite, and frowned, asking, "What does the survival of your Yue clan have to do with my appearance?"

"There are profound truths in the universe, many of which can only be grasped by the highest gods, but mortals can also glimpse their patterns. We call those patterns cause and effect."

The Yuezhi sighed deeply, "It's an inescapable cause and effect..."

cause and effect?

Shen Qian was even more confused, but after talking for so long, he had discovered that the Yuezhi people also had a tendency to speak in a way that was difficult to understand, and he really didn't know where to start asking questions.

Fortunately, Dayuezhi's tone finally returned to normal. She looked at Shenqian again and said, "The God of Qi will descend again before dusk tomorrow. He will not appear in the night. Please leave with Yuejun tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qian finally understood something. It seemed that the Yuezhi were still unwilling to join forces with him to fight against the Qi God.

Although he didn't understand, Shen Qian felt that he had done his best, so he nodded and said, "Alright."

"Moon Falcon, come here."

At this moment, the Yuezhi spoke towards the outside of the fence.

Moonhawk, who had been waiting impatiently, hurried in, "Clan leader..."

"Moon Falcon, you will leave with Chen Qian tomorrow morning."

The Yuezhi directly interrupted the Moon Falcon.

"Ah, what about you guys?" Yuejun asked blankly.

"The Serpent God has awakened, and I will preside over a new round of sacrifices. He doesn't know the way before he arrives, so you need to lead him out of Python Mountain."

The Yuezhi explained simply.
