"Thank you, my master, for sparing my life. I am willing to be your servant forever and serve you." Taowu was in dire straits, but he didn't dare to have any other thoughts. He crawled on the ground and said to Mu Hanyan tremblingly.
If Mu Hanyan had wanted to kill her before, she would have had to chant the Beast God Contract, which required some effort. But now that it had taken the initiative to sign the master-servant contract, its life and death depended on a single thought. If she wanted to kill it, she wouldn't even have to move her lips.
"Get up." Mu Hanyan waved her hand and said.
After making sure that this guy was no longer a threat to her, Mu Hanyan felt a little pity for him when she saw his cute and adorable appearance like a kitten and his fearful and trembling look.
"Thank you, Master." Taowu crawled back a few steps, then raised his head cautiously.
"By the way, who is this he (she) you were talking about just now?" Mu Hanyan asked curiously.
She has been curious about this question for a while. From what Taowu said, she felt that he (she) should be her ancestor. Many years ago, it was he (she) who destroyed Taowu's original body and extinguished its spirit, leaving it with only three drops of blood and a wisp of residual spirit. That's why it was so crazy to take revenge on Mu Hanyan to vent its hatred.
However, Mu Hanyan had looked through the clan genealogy and had some knowledge of the ancestors of the Mu family who were once famous on the continent, but she had never seen any records about this matter.
"Don't you know yourself?" Taowu looked at Mu Hanyan in surprise, but soon realized that he was only in a position to answer questions and had no right to ask any inquiries. Fearing that he would anger Mu Hanyan, he quickly said, "I don't know who she is either. I only know that her name is Xing Tiannu. She is extremely powerful, countless times stronger than the strongest in this plane. In front of her, I am as weak as an ant and can only allow myself to be bullied by her."
Speaking of this, one of the four legendary ferocious beasts actually had tears in his eyes and a sad look on his face.
"Xing Tiannu, isn't she from the Mu family? What's her name, Mu?" Mu Hanyan was even more confused. There was no such name among the ancestors of the Mu family.
"What Mu family? Her name is Xing Tiannv. She has nothing to do with the Mu family." Taowu looked even more confused than Mu Hanyan.
Taowu stared at Mu Hanyan, thinking about something, and suddenly exclaimed: "No, no, you are not her descendant. Although you have her aura, your bloodline is completely different. You are not her descendant!"
"By the way, could the contract with the divine beast Aolai be due to this reason?" After Taowu finished speaking, he thought for a moment and muttered to himself.
"What are you talking about? What is going on?" Mu Hanyan was already confused, and when she heard Taowu's nonsense, she became even more puzzled and said impatiently.
"Master, please calm down. Master, please calm down." Taowu then realized that he had been talking to himself and leaving Mu Hanyan aside, and said quickly.
"I'm not angry. Tell me slowly what's going on," Mu Hanyan said. She secretly sighed that this guy was so arrogant before, but now he's more obedient than a cat. It's really a bit hard to get used to.
"The story begins a million years ago. At that time, the Aolai divine beast had already left this continent, but the continent had not yet broken apart and was still known as the Sacred Continent.
At that time, the continent was full of strong men, and humans and our divine beast clan were competing for supremacy in the world. Both sides seemed to be evenly matched, but in general, our divine clan was slightly stronger. If nothing unexpected happened, we would be able to unify the world in a thousand years at most.
But at that moment, a powerful woman named Xing Tiannu flew down from the sky, and several powerful men from our divine beast clan were defeated by her overnight.
She also destroyed my true form and extinguished my divine consciousness, leaving only three drops of blood and a remnant of my spirit, sealed within this Beast Soul Hall. I've always been puzzled. With her strength, it would have been effortless for her to completely annihilate my soul, so why did she leave me a glimmer of hope?
"It wasn't until I met you today that it suddenly occurred to me: could it be that she left me that glimmer of hope just to awaken the memories of the Aolai beast? After all, the bloodlines of divine beasts are different, and some of the memories they leave behind can only be awakened by divine beasts, such as your previous divine beast contract." Taowu gathered his thoughts and speculated.
"What!" Mu Hanyan was shocked.
Only then did she realize that humanity's rise to world dominance was due to a causal relationship. If it weren't for Xing Tiannu's appearance, the continent would have long been dominated by the divine beasts. Humanity might have perished long ago, or, like the exotic beasts now, lingered on in the depths of the Longyan Mountains.
According to Taowu, this Xing Tiannu is not a human cultivator from the Holy Continent, but an extremely powerful being from another dimension.
What surprised her even more was that Xing Tiannu left Taowu a glimmer of hope in order to help her awaken the memory of the Aolai beast. Could it be that she could foresee her own future millions of years in advance?
Although Mu Hanyan had already experienced the wonders of astrology, she still found it unbelievable.
"If it's true, as I suspected, that she left me a glimmer of hope in order to awaken the memory of the Aolai Divine Beast, it might not be because of you." Seeing Mu Hanyan's surprise, Taowu added, "Even if the body and soul of a powerful Divine Beast like the Aolai Divine Beast are completely destroyed, its memory will not disappear completely. Instead, it will be scattered and dissolved between heaven and earth. As long as there is a destiny, anyone can inherit its memory."
Mu Hanyan suddenly realized that Xing Tiannu left Taowu behind just to awaken the memory of the Aolai beast. It was not necessarily for her, nor was it necessarily because she had predicted what would happen after her death millions of years ago. This made her acceptable.
"What does the Xing Tiannu you mentioned look like?" Mu Hanyan asked curiously.
Mu Hanyan originally thought that Taowu would describe it to her in detail, but it just fixed its eyes, waved its claws, and an illusory figure appeared in front of Mu Hanyan.
"It's her!" Mu Hanyan exclaimed again.
The golden armor, the cool and beautiful face, the heroic figure, seemed to be above the heaven and earth, and all things in the world were subject to her feet.
The Xingtian girl that Taowu mentioned is the woman that Mu Hanyan saw in the astrological map. She is also the person he saw when he passed the last test of the Wuxin Sword!
"Master, do you know her?" Taowu asked cautiously.
The memory of this Xing Tiannu was too tragic to leave in its mind. Just the impression in its mind made it feel an instinctive fear.
(Picking my nose, I guess you all thought Han Yan was the reincarnation of this woman. Then congratulations, you all guessed wrong. I reward you with a comforting kiss.)
