Chapter 236: Her Royal Highness the Sea Princess is a Heartthrob (21)

Arrive at destination.

After briefly explaining things to Simon, Qiao Xi began to touch the heart.

The familiar scene was distorted and Simon caught the girl with his quick eyes and hands just before she fainted.

It is still that towering ancient tree.

But the young man under the tree was in a state of despair, staring blankly into the distance, his original high spirits gone.

Eyes like a cold pond.

There is only dead silence and despair, like a person who is trapped in a difficult situation and struggling in vain, and has completely given up hope of living.

Qiao Xi suddenly had a bad feeling.

"What’s wrong with you?"

She came to Jue's side and had no idea how much time had passed in this world.

"Disease... They all contracted a strange disease and died."

The young man muttered absentmindedly, as if recalling something painful. He covered his head and trembled.

"sick?"

Qiao Xi caught the key words and squatted in front of him.

She carefully touched the young man's head and soothed him softly, "What happened? How much time has passed now?"

Perhaps this action brought some comfort.

Jue's dazed eyes refocused, and he stared blankly at the girl in front of him as if he was grabbing his life-saving straw.

"A thousand years."

He slowly said a number and began to recall his messy memories.

"One day, after being exposed to sunlight, their entire bodies became infected and began to rot..."

Because they were on the battlefield, no one paid attention to this matter and thought it was a poisoning plot by the enemy, but until they saw it under the scorching sun.

There is a certain God Clan.

A living creature was infected from the moment it was intact, its body festered and became smelly, and in the blink of an eye it melted into a pool of acid water.

This sudden change shocked everyone.

But what happened next was terrifying. Every god exposed to the sunlight began to fester and turn into a pool of acid.

It's not just the gods.

On the battlefield.

Before the battle even started, troops from both sides were wailing in front of the battle formation. Under the scorching sun, they rotted into a pool of acid water, and then completely evaporated.

The sun was shining that day as usual.

Those who barely survived can only live in the shadows and dare not show up again.

I think I am special.

Because he was a life born from a ten-thousand-year-old divine creature, nothing happened to him, but he witnessed with his own eyes that all the gods who went to the battlefield rotted into a pool of acid water in front of the formation.

In grief.

He collected the souls of all the gods who had not yet dissipated in the world, condensed them into a soul bead and threw it into the sea.

I just hope the deceased rest in peace.

The surviving members of the tribe reproduced, but the children they gave birth to were all deformed and brainless, and basically none of them lived beyond thirty days.

The same is true for these deformed anencephalic children.

Once exposed to sunlight, it will quickly rot and melt, or even melt faster.

Later they found out.

This was their punishment. To maintain pure bloodlines, they would choose to marry close relatives. Initially, there were only a few genetic flaws, but as they were passed down through the generations, the flaws were infinitely magnified.

One day.

They are so fragile that even sunlight can cause fatal damage to them.

Only those who are parasitized by divine creatures are spared.

In just a hundred years, the most powerful race of gods in the world disappeared, leaving only him. And the races that prided themselves on pure bloodlines were almost extinct.

Only the half-bloods that they once looked down upon the most are left.

And these hybrids are healthy.

They gradually formed races, began to develop on their own, and gradually began to pursue the purity of their bloodline.

The cycle repeats itself over and over again.

Until one day six hundred years later, when they had reproduced to a certain extent and saw the sunlight, they began to show signs of skin ulcers.

Soon.

I'm afraid it will turn into a pool of acid water.

After the demise of the Gods, Jue sat alone in despair under the sacred tree, waiting for the girl he had made an appointment with to appear.

Until now, he finally waited.

The young man withdrew his gaze from the distance, and there was a crazy light intertwined in his heterochromatic eyes.

His red-gold eye.

It was as if some emotion was brewing and struggling to burst out, as if it could sense his anger. The cracked lines spreading deep in the pupil made the eye look even more hideous.

And the original red gold color.

Gradually, it turned into a deep scarlet, and the vertical pupils became lines, with a sense of endless destruction erupting in an instant.

Those are not human eyes.

It had the hysteria and madness of a monster, devoid of any rationality. But Qiao Xi was extremely familiar with this eye.

This is……

The eye she saw beneath the ice to the east.

"Order has collapsed here, and the chaos has never stopped. Everyone seems to be trapped in a law that requires them to maintain the purity of their bloodline. In reality, this is more like a curse."

Jue's voice was exceptionally calm, and he raised his hand to cover his mutated eye.

He looked at the girl with his still clear and pure blue eyes.

"You said you came from an era fifty thousand years from now?"

"……yes."

"This world must change, otherwise, no matter how many times it is reborn, it will be destroyed. 50,000 years from now on your side, if I'm not mistaken, it should be mid-term."

"Mid-term?"

"People with genetic defects have already appeared, and there are also a series of complications. The closer to the top, the more serious the disease. However, they still breed with their relatives, and when the disease breaks out in the later stages, everyone's body will rot."

The young man looked at her.

There was still despair in those dead eyes, but in this dark reality, he seemed to have a glimmer of hope for survival.

"really."

Qiao Xi thought about the conversation with Zuo Qianjin and the decadent ideas rooted in the minds of those so-called aristocrats.

It will only lead to self-destruction.

If you truly like someone, would you marry or even have children with someone else just to have offspring?

It is a union of love.

Because of love, we can jointly nurture the fruit of love.

Instead of completing the mechanical combination like a routine task, or even giving birth to offspring, they create more unfortunate and deformed babies.

Children born in such a family environment are unhappy.

They will follow the ideas and concepts of their previous generation, continue to repeat the same mistakes, and have no understanding of loving and being loved.

The concept is distorted to this extent.

The situation cannot be reversed by preaching alone. Only after a major reshuffle can the situation change.

"What do you want to do?"

Qiao Xi looked at the young man whose breathing was already disordered, and Jue turned around when he heard her voice.

The darkness in the man's eyes deepened.

He stroked the girl's shoulders with his hands, and when he smiled again, the alluring meaning in his low, hoarse, and magnetic voice became more and more obvious.

"We are in different time and space. How about meeting in the future?"

"Is this kind of thing possible?"

Qiao Xi looked at him in surprise, and the young man was getting closer and closer to her.

"Of course, under the witness of this sacred tree."

He chuckled and continued to speak.

"Swear by a kiss, and make a contract. Even if we are in a different time and space, the oath will stand."

An extremely gentle kiss, falling like a dragonfly touching the water.

A breeze suddenly rose, carrying the rich fragrance of the sacred tree, and the colorful petals fell fluttering.

Soft to the touch and leaves immediately.

Before losing consciousness, Jue pushed her away. His beautiful heterochromatic eyes were filled with sadness. He said—

"I'll wait for you in the future."

Before they meet, he has to endure endless loneliness alone for 50,000 years.
