Ji Xingzhi touched his chin with his hand, thought for a moment, and said, "Well... let's start from the beginning of the world."
Hearing this, Xiao Moyan's eyes froze for a moment. At the beginning of the world, that was a long time ago...
Xiao Moyan was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke under Ji Xingzhi's expectant gaze: "In the beginning, the world was in chaos. There was no sun, moon, or stars, no plants or living things..."
Ji Xingzhi waited for a long time, but Xiao Moyan didn't say anything else. She couldn't help but ask, "And then?"
Xiao Moyan paused slightly, and something seemed to flash in his eyes. It was a pain that Ji Xingzhi had never seen in those cold, ink-clear eyes.
Ji Xingzhi suddenly regretted asking and was about to change the subject when Xiao Moyan continued, "A long time later, the sun, moon, and stars appeared in the sky, and many lives began to emerge on the earth, living in a regular pattern."
At this point, Xiao Moyan paused again. "At that time, the Nine Clans were not complete. There were only five clans: gods, demons, ghosts, monsters, and humans. Of these, gods and ghosts preferred peace, while monsters, demons, and humans were warlike. The flames of war spread across the land. In the end, the human race was defeated and asked the gods for help, promising to respect them forever."
Xiao Moyan spoke disjointedly and incompletely, and seemed to be hiding a lot of things.
Ji Xingzhi asked tentatively, but Xiao Moyan just replied calmly: "Forgot."
But whether he had forgotten or just didn't want to remember, only Xiao Moyan himself knew.
Ji Xingzhi didn't ask any more questions. Although he didn't know the details, he had a general idea.
For example, why do people rely so much on gods and immortals? Why do they respect and fear them so much?
That's because humanity's ancestors once turned to the gods for help, promising to honor them and receive their protection. The gods were also committed to helping humans to the very end. There was a saying at the time: When humanity is in trouble, the gods will appear.
Humans respect God because God is powerful, and they fear God because God is powerful.
For example, why is the world divided into fifty-four continents? Why can people practice magic on some continents but not on others?
That's because the human race is not only a valuable tonic, but also the weakest of the five races. The demons and monsters have long coveted their territory, but their leaders' lax control has led to the near extinction of the human race.
At that time, in order to protect the human race, the Lord of the Gods fought a great battle with the leaders of the demons and monsters. The final result was the annihilation of all three.
The demons and monsters were not like the gods. Once their core members died, they immediately fell apart. The gods took advantage of this opportunity to conquer them and divide their territory.
The fifty-four continents form a seal, sealing the entrance to the demons and monsters. Six gods guard the nine continents, each performing their duties to protect the seal.
The nine continents of Dixi, Xuantian, Fengye, Donglu and Changhai belong to the Tiansheng continent, only because the god who guards these nine continents chose Tiansheng as his base. Therefore, Tiansheng built a temple, and the god who guards the nine continents is called the master of the temple.
Ji Xingzhi didn’t know what happened after that, because Xiao Moyan only told her this much.
"Uncle, can I practice magic?" Ji Xingzhi looked eager to try. She remembered that her uncle once told her that people on about ten of the fifty-four continents could practice magic. Magic was a very powerful thing. Her uncle's teleportation and the treatment he had just given her for curing her face could both be called magic.
Xiao Moyan paused slightly, then looked at Ji Xingzhi sideways and asked, "Why do you want to learn?"
