Chapter 673 Chu Sheng's Plan
Before meeting the Mermaid King, Fifth Xuan was full of doubts about this world. Many things bothered him like a puzzle.
Why does this world have totems?
Why does the residual consciousness of the saint suppress the emergence of gods on the mainland?
Why did the Tree of Life release the Sentinel Tree to this world and deliberately attack it?
Too many doubts made Fifth Xuan feel as if he was in a fog and couldn't understand it at all.
And now, these mysteries are being solved one by one, only one, he still can't figure out.
"Mountain of Gods, what's going on with the Mountain of Gods?"
Fifth Xuan asked with a frown.
The Mermaid King raised his eyebrows, obviously he was not completely ignorant of this.
"What do you want to ask?"
"Legend has it that they are traitors from the Titans, but if they are traitors, why aren't they as tall as the Titans, and why did the powerful Titans die out? Since Chu Sheng was born in the Titans, there is no reason for him not to protect the continuation of their clan."
The Fifth Xuan had a lot of questions, but generally, they were all related to the Titans and the Mountain of Gods.
The Mermaid King did not answer directly. He was silent for a while, as if he was understanding the Fifth Xuan's question, and then he spoke slowly.
"The extinction of the Titans is related to the remnants of the Tree of Life. The continent where you were was once affected by the remnants of the Tree of Life. All life at that time became abnormally evil, so..."
At this point, the Mermaid King frowned and paused.
Diwu Xuan pretended to listen. There might be something unspeakable in this, but he still wanted to know.
Seeing Diwu Xuan's persistence, the Mermaid King sighed and continued, "So Chu Sheng exterminated all life on that continent, causing the continent where you are to fall into silence for thousands of years."
This answer made Diwu Xuan's eyes widen.
It was not just the Titans that were exterminated, but all the lives on the road where he was... Chu Sheng's heart was a bit cruel.
"Chu Sheng also wanted to send some Titans so that the Titans could continue, but the power of the remnant of the Tree of Life was very strong at that time, and all the Titans were affected, so he had to do that."
The Mermaid King saw the shock in the eyes of the Fifth Xuan, and couldn't help but explain for Chu Sheng.
He didn't want Chu Sheng to leave a bad impression on others. This was based on his admiration for Chu Sheng, and also based on his unwillingness to let the hero in his heart be misunderstood.
"It's... understandable."
The Fifth Xuan gradually suppressed the shock in his heart, nodded and said.
If it was in the early stage of the time travel, this incident might have instantly turned Chu Sheng black in his heart.
But he had been through so much, seeing the hardship of his people struggling to survive, and seeing the cannibalism in the harsh environment, so his ability to accept things had indeed increased a lot.
Moreover, he himself had encountered similar things.
He had the opportunity to become a god earlier, and he only needed to kill the souls of the witches and the leaders. In this choice, he chose to give up becoming a god.
He chose to give up, not only because of the bond between him and the souls of several witches and leaders.
It was also because he believed that he could still become a god, and he firmly believed that he could lead his people out of the predicament.
This was almost beyond doubt. As a time traveler, and one who traveled from modern times to primitive society, it was hard for him not to be confident.
But if He had great external pressure at that time and had to face the choice between life and death, even if this life and death had nothing to do with Him, and He simply had to choose between the souls of all the tribesmen and the dead witches and leaders.
He thought that He would also choose the tribesmen instead of the souls of a few witches and leaders.
What is the difference between this choice and Chu Sheng's choice? They both chose the side with more hope.
"What about the Mountain of Gods? What's the matter with them?"
Putting aside Chu Sheng's question of right and wrong, Diwu Xuan asked again.
"They are gods who came back to life from Titan King Kong's holy soul after his death. The Mountain of Gods was transformed from Titan King Kong's corpse."
The Mermaid King gave another answer that surprised Diwu Xuan.
After the death of a saint, can he actually transform into a species?
Yes, in the eyes of the Fifth Xuan, the gods on the Mountain of Gods are not like humans, nor like totems, but like a special species.
Because they are born as gods, this is obviously inconsistent with the logic of totem growth, and is even more different from humans.
Stone totems cannot reproduce, and the fire is just a kind of self-fission. Although the new fire has independent thoughts, its power is just that of an ordinary totem.
As for the living totem, it is easy to see from the greedy wolf that his power comes from his mother, and his real growth also comes from the death of his mother. It was not until that time that he was promoted.
Totems cannot give birth to totems of the same level, which is fundamentally different from the Mountain of Gods.
And humans... None of the humans he has seen have become gods, which is completely different from the gods on the Mountain of Gods.
"The Mountain of Gods and the gods on the Mountain of Gods are the hope that the Titan soul leaves for this world."
The Mermaid King spoke again, which made Diwu Xuan confused again.
"What do you mean?"
"The Mountain of Gods is like my water curtain world, and like your fairyland, it is based on the world and takes the path of sanctification."
The Fifth Xuan nodded slowly, but couldn't help asking, "Then what is their main body? If they become saints, is it the Mountain of Gods that becomes saintly, or is it Zeus and the others?"
"Together, they will become a whole, unlike your relationship with the fairyland, because the essence of the Mountain of Gods is the broken body of Titan King Kong, and the souls of the gods combined together are just the residual souls of the Titans. This... is very special."
In the end, the Mermaid King didn't know how to describe the Mountain of Gods, but it was indeed very special as He said.
"It's really special."
Fifth Xuan muttered, and then asked: "What do they mean by hope?" "
The gods on the Mountain of Gods and the appearance of the Mountain of Gods were actually done by the Titan Soul before breaking the roots of the Tree of Life. He did this because he saw his people being affected by the roots of the Tree of Life and was afraid of the extinction of the race, so he wanted to find a way to continue."
Fifth Xuan nodded, and at the same time had a new understanding of the power of the saints.
It was really unimaginable that they could create a race from scratch.
"In addition to this reason, He did this to leave hope for this world. According to His idea, the Mountain of Gods should be able to easily get in touch with His residual soul in the origin of the world because of its connection with the Titans. In this way..."
"In this way, the Mountain of Gods can directly become a saint?"
The Fifth Xuan said in surprise.
The Titan Soul had a really good plan. Not only did he solve the problem of the continuation of his own clan before his death, but he also paved the way for them. And this road is... really far.
"Yes, logically speaking, the Mountain of Gods should have been sanctified long ago, and the residual consciousness of the Saint Chu should have been eliminated, and merged with the whole world. In this way, even if it cannot resist the Tree of Life, it will still be no problem to escape."
When the Mermaid King said this, there was a little regret in his words.
"What went wrong in this matter?"
asked the Fifth Xuan.
It was not difficult to guess. The ladder to the upper floor was already set up, but the Mountain of Gods had not yet become holy. There must be something wrong.
"It should be that when Titan King Kong fought with the Tree of Life, he was also contaminated by the power of the Tree of Life. Therefore, the internal strife in the Mountain of Gods continued, fathers and sons killed each other, brothers and sisters... They were rejected by the origin of the world after they fell."
The Mermaid King showed disgust on his face.
"What exactly is the origin of the world? Does it have an independent will?"
asked the Fifth Xuan curiously.
"No, the origin of the world is just a collection of the consciousness of all living things in this world, including flowers, trees, fish, insects, birds, beasts, mountains, rivers, and the common consciousness of all existence. It is just because of the existence of the remnant soul of the Titan Soul that it has a preference for the Mountain of Gods, but this cannot reverse the dislike of all living beings for the Mountain of Gods."
The Fifth Xuan nodded to show his understanding.
The inside of the Mountain of Gods is indeed so chaotic that it is unbearable to look directly at. If such an existence stands at the pinnacle of this world, few people will like it.
And intelligent species will be the first to oppose it. After all, among animals, it is not uncommon to mess around.
"Is this also the reason why the remnant consciousness of Chu Sheng does not allow them to enter this continent?"
The Fifth Xuan asked again.
"For one thing, the remnant of the Saint Chu is also afraid that they will be affected by the remnant of the Tree of Life and fall into darkness completely."
The Mermaid King explained.
"Artemis, Hermes, and Ganymede have also entered the continent where I am. They won't have any problems, right?"
The Fifth Xuan was moved and asked.
The Mermaid King frowned, thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It should be no problem. The Mountain of Gods and the gods on the Mountain of Gods are a whole. Only when they are together can they have an impact on the remnants of the Tree of Life. One or two gods are not a big problem."
The words of the Mermaid King made the Fifth Xuan feel relieved. He didn't want to face the remnants of the Tree of Life that were stronger than the mark of the Tree of Life. It would be better to wait until it was stronger before facing these.
But he couldn't help frowning.
The arrangement of the Titan Soul was originally good, and perhaps this was the most visible hope, but at present, this road is not feasible.
"Does the remnant consciousness of the Saint Chu have any ideas? You powerful beings can't just watch this world go to destruction."
The Fifth Xuan asked with a droopy face.
He suddenly realized that all the hardships he had experienced before were nothing compared to the coming of the Tree of Life.
The Hell-level dungeon had just begun.
"It's not that Chu Sheng has no plan. In fact, his power has weakened rapidly in recent years, and he has become silent, just to launch a new plan."
The Mermaid King raised his eyebrows again and said.
"What plan?"
Diwu Xuan asked expectantly.
Even if Chu Sheng was a saint born from the Titan Soul, he was still a saint.
At this moment when the sky is falling, the tall ones should hold it up, and Diwu Xuan decided to hug this big thick leg without hesitation.
After more than 300 years in this world, he has never demonstrated the skills of hugging thighs that he learned in his hometown. Now that he has the opportunity, why not seize it?
Under the expectant gaze of the Fifth Xuan, the Mermaid King slowly spoke: "The most important part of his plan is... you."
"Me?"
The Fifth Xuan's eyes widened, and he suddenly had the illusion that he was being hugged by a "thigh".
