"The situation is turning grim," one said.
"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.
...
Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...
She looked at the demigods of the Fifth Era, such as "Cataclysm" and "Heavenly Fire": "Your circumstances are special. You should have personally met with the thirty-two saints. Do you have any suggestions?"
The Heavenly Fire flickered: "How could we, people like us, discern the difference between a sage and a saint?"
Although it is fire, it is not irritable. However, this very nature reveals its great strength—it has gradually transcended the nature of "Heavenly Will Fire" and begun to affect itself.
While practicing, everyone pondered deeply about who to choose.
"What about the Divine Sage?"
"Willpower dominates the world, and it seems to be able to deprive others of their destiny, which is not good."
"Where is the flesh and blood?"
"It has absorbed the flesh and blood of all living beings in the world, possesses all innate abilities, and can evolve into countless flesh and blood creatures. It is difficult."
"prophet……"
Many suggestions were made, but none of them were certain.
"Neither of these is safe," sighed an old man.
"Nothing in this world is absolute, and things that are absolutely certain are extremely rare. Moreover, we are facing saints. Which one of them is weak? Each one is so powerful that it inspires despair."
"What about the Black Hand? This saint's reputation is not well-known, and his holy laws are also..."
"no!"
Everyone looked at the skeleton gene in surprise. Apart from fighting spirit and killing intent, this was the first time they had seen such intense emotions in him.
"Brother Corpse Bone, do you know anything about this saint?" someone asked.
Without elaborating on the bone gene, he said, "Don't choose [Saint Black Hand]."
He had no face, so his expression was not visible, but his mental state was very serious and resolute.
“It seems you really understand,” Yaochi said. “We can’t start a war anytime soon. Why don’t you tell us about the Corpse Bone Gene? Let us broaden our horizons and increase our knowledge.”
Everyone is looking forward to it.
The practice will continue for some time, and the candidate has not yet been determined, so listening to the secrets of the sages is not a waste of time.
After a moment of contemplation, the Corpse Gene said, "[Saint Black Hand]...has killed a Saint."
"Really?!" Hundreds of people immediately confirmed in unison.
In the universe, over 99% of civilizations were created by sages, but legends about sages have always been vague and elusive, let alone the slaughter of sages.
Legend has it that the Holy One defeated nearly a dozen saints and established the Holy Court—the original route of the Heavenly Court, Empire, and Dynasty.
Legend has it that the Demon Saint completely devoured a Saint, possessing terrifying power, and his Dharma form supported the entire present universe.
Legend has it that the War Saint, wielding a battle flag, was once invincible among the saints, and the battle flag was stained with the blood of two saints.
Countless legends exist, but in every legend there are winners and no losers. They can only be attributed to misinformation or excessive praise of one's ancestors by a descendant of a sage.
For example, the Empire of Order believes that [Saint Order] is invincible, and the Great Wall of Divine Will also believes that [Saint Divine Will] is supreme—even though there is clearly a [Saint Flesh and Blood] fighting against [Saint Business].
But now, there seems to be concrete evidence from the skeletal remains that the "Saint Black Hand" slaughtered a saint.
“By chance, I saw a glimpse of the past,” the Bone Gene said slowly, “a pit of corpses, where the Black Hand Saint was throwing saints’ bodies into it.”
"Hiss!" Everyone gasped, their hearts in turmoil.
“A mass grave....."
This word is quite extraordinary.
"How many corpses are there?" Even the novel "Natural Disaster" couldn't help but ask.
"The scene is blurry, but there are at least four bodies."
"......"
"Four Saints!" The three thousand powerful figures felt a chill run down their spines.
"Thank goodness!" someone breathed a sigh of relief. "Luckily, we had the Corpse Bone Gene, otherwise, if we had chosen [Saint Black Hand], we probably would have been wiped out!"
“A true master of war achieves no great feats.” Yaochi’s expression was solemn. “The [Saint Black Hand] has no legends passed down through the ages, yet he is so powerful!”
She wondered if the Corpse Gene was manipulating the corpse disguise trick again, deliberately concealing the truth that the corpse pit contained the incarnation of the "Saint Black Hand," or if she genuinely didn't know about it.
She tentatively opened her mouth.
"Whether it's true or not, just in case, we can't choose [Saint Black Hand]. I think [Saint of the Past] is okay. It's said that he was just a saint with extraordinary comprehension who studied scriptures."
The Elder Heaven said, “I have also heard of this sage. His comprehension surpasses all others, but we should not underestimate his combat power because of that.”
Yaochi said, "No one should be underestimated. All of you here have crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Before a saint becomes a saint, there must have been endless bloody battles. Only through bloody battles is it possible to become a saint. All saints are like this. Relatively speaking, [Saint of the Past] is a good choice."
The old man nodded.
The others accepted it as well.
Unlike humans, dragons, gods, immortals, demons, monsters, ghosts, and so on, as well as the sages of Tao, reason, the primordial chaos of the universe, the mystery of heaven and earth, and war, the title of "Sage of the Past" is bound to 'history'.
Even the freehand techniques obtained from the stone carvings are a sacred art that allows one to trace back through history.
Relatively speaking, it is indeed "refined".
The genetic basis of skeletal remains was not rejected.
Is it that they genuinely didn't know that [Saint of the Past] was the incarnation of [Saint of the Black Hand], or do they think that as long as it's not [Saint of the Black Hand], it's fine?
"I also propose one, [Saint Jin]."
"Jin Sheng is said to possess a supreme material with spiritual power?"
Everyone spoke up, exchanging opinions and discussing the final selection.
This is difficult. As Yaochi said, no saint is a flower in a greenhouse, and the path to sainthood is inevitably bloody.
Ultimately, we could only compare information from legends, stone carvings, and other sources, and choose the one who was relatively less adept at combat, namely [Sage of the Past].
"Everyone," Yaochi said, "please share any legends from the past, and please share the martial arts techniques obtained from the stone carvings. This is a win-win situation, and I think everyone here understands the importance of this matter."
