Chapter 425 Wu Zhi

"That is to say, humans at that time had no spiritual roots!?"

At the same time, in the Wisdom Palace of Quanxian King City, Wang Qiqing, who came as an "exchange student" on behalf of the Taiyin Sect disciples, widened his eyes, holding an ancient history book that recorded the history of the human race and the Quanxian tribe. He looked at the Quanxian tribe "floating" low in the air in front of him, trying to keep a relatively same height as him, and asked in disbelief.

"Yes, at least, that's what we recorded, and the Changwu tribe still exists today, in the northwest of Quanxian King City. Of course, the Changwu tribe is now called the 'Changwu clan', and the place where they live is called the 'Witch City', which was expanded on the place where the Changwu tribe lived tens of thousands of years ago."

The one who answered Wang Qiqing was the one-on-one teacher assigned to him by Quanxianwang City, named Yuan Tao.

Wang Qiqing's eyebrows twisted like a knot, and he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried: "But, wasn't the Changwu tribe in ancient times a human tribe? How could they live in the sea? And merged into your Quanxian country?"

"Who told you that the original Long Wu tribe was from the human tribe?"

Yuan Tao's expression was calm, but his tone seemed a little dissatisfied: "In addition, Changwu clan and Wu City are indeed the settlements of Quanxian tribe and Quanxian tribe, but they have not been incorporated into Quanxian King City. Moreover, our Quanxian tribe does not have a 'country'. That is the method that Rudu Guang would use!"

Wang Qiqing keenly caught Yuan Tao's dissatisfaction and quickly apologized, "Oh, sorry, sorry, I really don't know much about your Quanxian tribe, and I am a little curious. If I have offended you, please forgive me!"

Yuan Tao said, "It's okay. I was just angry. Please forgive me. It's quite a coincidence that I was born in the City of Witches."

"You are from the Witch City!?"

Wang Qiqing couldn't help but lower his head and stared hard at Yuan Tao's tail - it was light blue and very beautiful, but it was indeed a tail.

He asked doubtfully, "But, but doesn't the history book record that the ancient human race was divided into 36 tribes? Isn't this Changwu tribe one of them?"

"That's right. They were divided into thirty-six tribes, not into 'Jian'. Among these thirty-six tribes, not a single tribe was entirely human. In other words, at that time, all tribes were mixed with various races."

Yuan Tao explained: “For example, in the Changwu tribe, in addition to the human race, there was also the Quanxian tribe…but at that time we were called the Diren clan, and there was also the Dragon clan, which was called the Youlong clan at that time.

"At that time, the meaning of 'shi' was completely different from what it is now. Most of the time, people divided their clans by clans, and tribes... were just a place where people lived.

"However, what's interesting is that we originally called the human race 'Da Yao', but the human race themselves disagreed, apparently because 'Yao' has a bad connotation... Who knows! Anyway, I only remember that a history book recorded the attitude towards this name, which was 'thinking that Yao is unlucky and hates it'.

"However, at that time, the human race thought that they looked similar to Nuwa and wanted to call themselves 'Nuwa clan', but other clans disagreed. After all, they only resembled Nuwa clan in the upper body. To be honest, the lowly human clan at that time was more similar to Nuwa clan! Of course, you humans also have your own ideas and opinions are not unanimous, so you didn't use that name."

Wang Qiqing listened with great interest. He adjusted his vision while continuing to record the screen and asked, "What happened next?"

"Later, they started to quarrel among themselves and began to choose their own surnames. Some wanted to be called this, some wanted to be called that. It is said that they chose hundreds of surnames at that time. Oh, by the way, although I can't remember the specific records, there should be more detailed information in this book."

As Yuan Tao spoke, he ran his fingers across the spines of many books on the bookshelf and finally pulled out a book that was as thick as a brick.

Handing the book to Wang Qiqing, Yuan Tao continued, "But their various surnames are too difficult to remember. We are too lazy to remember the names of other races, so we simply keep it simple and call them 'humans' - of course, this is just my guess, because there is really no clear record of why you are called 'human race'. The history books preserved in the Palace of Wisdom only record some history and events at that time."

Wang Qiqing continued to ask: "Doesn't Nuwa care at all? Didn't she create the human race?"

"Why should we care? Strictly speaking, the human race is a 'soldier' ​​created by Nuwa from flesh and blood. They are tools used to be sent into the Five Color Formation to wipe out the evil demons from outer space. It doesn't matter what they are called."

Hearing this, Wang Qiqing's doubts intensified: "But in fact, the human race now doesn't care about the Five Color Formation at all. Instead, you are still guarding it..."

"That's because no one can bear to watch thousands of humans die!"

Yuan Tao sighed, then shook his head gently, refusing to tell stories anymore. He just pointed at the book in Wang Qiqing's hand and added, "Why don't you finish reading this record first? The human race back then was very different from the human race now. At that time... Alas, it was really tragic. This is why we, the Quanxian tribe and the Dragon tribe, have repeatedly tolerated the offenses of some humans."

Things having come to this, Wang Qiqing had no choice but to continue flipping through the book in his hand and taking screenshots of each page.

This book was also chosen for him by Yuan Tao. It is said to be the most concise book recording the origin of the human race.

The whole book was not thick and the content was indeed very brief. It took Wang Qiqing less than an hour to finish reading it. But when he closed the book, he felt mixed emotions and was unable to utter a word.

Humans are really complex creatures.

According to records in books, in Guixu Realm, the origin of human beings is just as Yuan Tao said. After Nuwa set up the Five-Color Formation, she secluded herself for many days and came up with a "solution" - she used her own flesh and blood to create the first thousands of people.

These humans are weak, and unable to sense spiritual energy, so it is impossible for them to participate in guarding the Five-Color Formation, let alone enter the Five-Color Formation to wipe out the evil demons from outer space.

Therefore, Nuwa taught a few people how to "plant spiritual roots" in their bodies and some spells suitable for human practice. After communicating and learning with enthusiasts from many tribes, these people came together to establish the Changwu tribe, which is the predecessor of the current Quanxian tribe leader Wu.

All human beings, if they want to practice, have to find someone from the Long Wu Tribe. After several years of study, they have to take something called "Witch Water" and "plant" spiritual roots before they can truly practice and learn magic.

Some people were dissatisfied with why Nuwa only taught a small part of this method, but later they found out that those who could make witch water would never be able to practice.

In order to express respect, people called those who dedicated themselves to making witch water "witches". They also spontaneously provided them with food and clothing, and helped them solve all the problems in life as much as possible - although many problems that mortals could not solve were no longer problems in the eyes of humans who had entered the practice of cultivation.

However, these people named themselves "Wu臷 clan". "臷" means replacement, which also means that Wu臷 clan must devote themselves from generation to generation to provide opportunities for all human beings.

On the other side, in the conference room, several professors who were sorting out the materials sent by Wang Qiqing also saw this part of the record. One of the professors who studied literature was very excited: "Wait! Here! It is recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas"! 'The people of Wuyang are named Pan, they eat grain, they don't weave or weed, they just wear it; they don't plant or harvest, they just eat. They love birds that sing and dance, the phoenixes sing by themselves...' It matches! It matches! Could it be that the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is not recording the Blue Star, but the Guixu Realm!?"

Another professor frowned and shook his head, saying, "Although this possibility cannot be ruled out, I have actually checked it privately, and the geographical and mountain records don't quite match."

An older professor followed up and said, "Also, you see, the original text says 'Emperor Shun was born without lust, and the place where he descended was called Wu Yang'. This is different from the records in the Guixu Realm. The records in the Guixu Realm are the knowledge passed down by Nuwa, and then 'Wu Yang' was produced. Oh, yes, this is also 'Wu Yang', not 'Wu Yang'. I don't know if this 'Wu Yang' is the 'Wu Yang' recorded in our Classic of Mountains and Seas! The text we see is translated using the translation system over there, who knows if there are any errors."

Some professors also said optimistically: "Let's keep watching, there may be more surprising records later."

So, everyone continued to look through the screenshots of historical book contents provided by Wang Qiqing.

Originally, according to the intention of Lady Nuwa, the human race would organize a group of warriors every year to enter the five-color formation and wipe out a large number of low-level evil demons from outer space. Those high-level demons and demon kings would be dealt with by races that were naturally superior, such as the Dragon Clan and the Quanxian Clan.

But as more and more alien evil demons appeared in the small worlds in the Five-Color Array, the human race firmly believed that if they were not wiped out from the beginning, the longer they delayed, the more trouble they would cause. So they insisted on changing from once a year to once every six months, and later to once a month, until there were human beings entering the Five-Color Array every few days.

The human race reproduces faster than other races. They are like rabbits in the jungle, growing into a group in just a dozen years. So even with such a large number of deaths, the human population is always increasing.

But, more and more people are dying.

Nuwa really couldn't bear this cycle, so she left Guixu Realm, leaving a message that she was going to find a way to completely resolve the Five Color Formation.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Nuwa left, internal strife broke out among the human race. Some people believed that they should elect several respected people as leaders, while others believed that the human race should not be separated from other races in the tribes.

The two sides argued more and more fiercely, and finally war broke out.

This is the first war that has nothing to do with the evil demons from outer space.
