Chapter 112 Chapter 112
Liuhe refers to the four directions of heaven and earth. As the name suggests, this being called Liuhe is actually the heavenly way of this world, responsible for maintaining order and ensuring the normal operation of the world.
At first glance, this seems to be a very serious and formal existence. Unfortunately, according to the unknown victims, these two positive words have nothing to do with a certain combination.
Phoenix still remembers what happened in his childhood.
When Liuhe came to him, he was still a young boy who knew nothing. There were no twists and turns, and his eyes were full of clear stupidity.
After that, I was often fooled by this wicked guy into calling him dad.
At that time, he really thought that this guy who could only write on paper was his biological father, and he even planned to create an avatar for him that would be convenient for him to move around in the future.
However, on the day he came of age, this bastard ran away after saying, "Actually, we are just colleagues. Dad and other things are just bullshit," without caring how much harm this bleak truth caused to an innocent little bird.
The first gift he received after becoming an adult was a beating from society. Little Phoenix burst into tears on the spot. Liuhe, out of guilt or perhaps a sense of guilt, never appeared again.
This makes me angry just thinking about it.
After accusing Liuhe, Fenghuang suddenly showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "Oh, I almost forgot, we are just colleagues, you really can't remember me."
[You were so adorable when you were little. It's only natural that I couldn't help myself for a moment...]
[Okay, I admit that I did go a bit too far back then.] Seeing that Fenghuang's smile was becoming more and more dangerous, Liuhe slid to his knees decisively.
If it were any other being, He might not care—after all, they were merely creations. But the Phoenix was different. As this world's "defense mechanism," its status was on par with the Heavenly Dao. If He really wanted to, He might actually cause trouble for the universe. It was just that the Phoenix itself didn't know.
Fenghuang had no idea what Liuhe was thinking. He fanned himself and smiled warmly, "You didn't come all the way here just to apologize to me, did you?"
[No...that's right! I came here specifically to apologize, the rest is just by the way.] Liuhe changed his words decisively.
Phoenix snorted, and the murderous aura disappeared: "You just said that the human race cannot move, why?"
[The human race is the chosen race.] Seeing Phoenix's puzzled expression, Liuhe explained: [If one becomes a member of the demon race, then one is no longer human. This is a conceptual issue.]
Our world needs balance. If the demon race becomes overdeveloped, it will require a similar yet opposite existence to constrain it—just like the Tai Chi diagram. The human race is the most suitable option.
"Balance again." Phoenix knew Liuhe was always striving for balance. While he understood, he didn't know the reason. "Isn't it a good thing for the demon race to become stronger? After all, the stronger they become in cultivation, the greater their chances of advancing to a higher world level."
Liuhe Dao: [It's a good thing, but from the perspective of the world's foundation, allowing the demon race to go to extremes is a path to death.]
[So-called vitality is actually the energy dissipated in the world. But you must know that this energy is not inexhaustible. Living beings, whether surviving or cultivating, are constantly consuming this energy.]
[According to the normal process, after a living being dies, their body, cultivation, and even soul will transform into the purest energy and re-enter the energy cycle, which is also called reincarnation.]
[The demon race has an extremely long lifespan. While cultivation can indeed raise their energy levels, the efficiency of feeding back to the world is too slow. Over time, the balance will be lost, and energy will not be enough to cover expenditure. By then, either the world will be dragged down to death, or all living things will perish, and everything will restart.]
“…”
Seeing the somewhat heavy atmosphere, Liuhe said in a lighthearted tone: "Of course, even if it really comes to this, there are other ways, such as plundering energy from other worlds and forcibly opening up the source. However, this behavior is rather unethical and will be boycotted by all worlds, so it is not recommended."
If you really do this, you will definitely be beaten up by the gang.
"So, the initial chaos is actually the most beneficial to the world." Phoenix quickly figured it out. Although the demon race has a long lifespan, it won't last much longer under the influence of the chaotic world. Moreover, they don't reproduce very quickly.
In this way, the number of demons will be controlled within a stable range, and the energy available for operation in the world will also be in surplus. This is the optimal state for the world.
But for all living beings, this is also the most painful state.
"So my actions were wrong?" Despite saying this, Phoenix didn't think there was anything wrong with his actions. The suffering of all living beings was simply a result of the powerlessness of Heaven. He simply wanted to change that.
No, no, no, there's no absolute right or wrong in this matter, and I'm constantly experimenting. Chaos can be helpful, but excessive killing is ultimately inappropriate. It's only a matter of time before this all ends.
"I understand what you mean." Phoenix leaned back lazily in his chair. "The human race is the new check and balance mechanism to replace chaos, right?"
【right】
"And my actions just happened to help you, right?" Phoenix narrowed his eyes and waved the fan slowly.
For some reason, Liuhe suddenly felt a little uneasy. However, his impression of the Phoenix was still that innocent and gullible little bird, so he didn't take too much precautions.
[Yes]
"As you wish, I won't touch the human race. But in exchange, shouldn't you do me a small favor?"
"Of course. But let me make it clear, as the Way of Heaven, I cannot directly interfere with the overall situation."
"Don't worry, it's just a small matter." Phoenix smiled. He raised his hand, and a ray of fiery red flame danced on his fingertips.
…
A quarter of an hour later, a fiery red bird covered in sparks rushed out of the door. Before it could catch its breath, a slender hand grabbed the back of its neck.
Phoenix picked Him up and chuckled, "Good evening, little one, call daddy and let me hear it." After many years, Phoenix finally returned these words intact. God knows how long he had been holding a grudge.
Liuhe kicked his short legs helplessly: "We don't do this. It's been so many years."
Help! Isn’t this the first sentence He said when we first met? How come I still remember it now?
"Heh." Phoenix sneered, "I can remember it for a long time. Do you need me to give you a specific number of days?"
"Chirp, chirp, chirp--" Liuhe screamed and shook his head repeatedly.
Holding the bird in his hand, Fenghuang felt a surge of joy. To be honest, he had sculpted the bird after himself as a child, and his selfish motives were obvious.
Although Liuhe's actions back then were excessive, he was right about one thing - he really looked very funny when he was a child, even though a certain Heavenly Dao was stuffed in that shell now.
I can’t take it anymore. The more I look at it, the more itchy my hands are. I really want to poke it a few more times.
Questioning Liuhe, understanding Liuhe, and becoming Liuhe, Phoenix gradually understood everything.
"This body is specially prepared for you. Remember to spare a moment to come and help out whenever you need. Since we're colleagues, we should encourage each other, don't you agree, colleague?"
Hearing the undisguised threat in the Phoenix's voice, the fiery red bird nodded pitifully with tears in its eyes.
"By the way, let me ask you something. If you answer it, we'll write off everything we did before. How about that?"
"You say." Liuhe's heart was moved.
"If the living beings in this world want to ascend to become gods, is there any way?"
"Chiu?" Liuhe was a little confused: "Aren't you already one? Why are you asking this?"
"If you don't want to talk about it, forget it."
"I'll tell you. Becoming a god isn't easy, but there are currently two ways. The first is to break through the limits of your life form and then transform. This is what's known as ascension."
"As for the second method, it's to gather the power of faith widely, using the willpower of all living beings in the world to condense the godhead. However, the power of faith that most living beings can provide right now is not very good. There are some good ones among the human race, but their number is too small to be of much use. It would probably take millions of years to accumulate this method."
Although monsters are long-lived, they definitely cannot live that long, so this method is just a fantasy.
After the confession, Liuhe suddenly came to his senses. He walked around the Phoenix and said in a frivolous tone, "Hey, kid, you suddenly asked this question. Are you interested in some pretty little bird? Do you want me to help you with some advice—"
"I forgot to tell you that the body of the Fire Spirit can make you feel a certain degree of pain." Phoenix smiled gently, his eyes full of silent threats: Try to scream again?
Liuhe shut up.
…
After unremitting efforts, You Lin finally succeeded in catching a fish without relying on any external force, a big, fresh and plump fish.
However, before he could be happy for even a second, a fiery red cannonball rushed over, and with a "bang", both the fish and the bird fell into the water.
The fish entered the water, but twisted its body and escaped from under You Lin's feet.
“…”
You Lin sighed helplessly, then bent down and picked up the bright red little thing from the water.
"What is this?" A bird. Why does it look familiar?
He gently shook the bird's head. The bird was limp all over, with its mouth open and a small piece of tongue sticking out. It looked like it had completely fainted.
"This is Liuliu, our new member." Phoenix walked over slowly. "Did something fall just now?"
"Well, the fish got away."
"... Let Baiyuer help catch it later."
Hearing the phoenix's voice, the bird pretending to be dead immediately opened its eyes and flapped its wings twice in You Lin's hands.
“Chiu!”
Phoenix caressed the retarded bird's head lovingly.
Liuhe couldn't appear for long, so this body contained only a fragment of his consciousness. Perhaps fearing the Phoenix would torment him again, Liuhe had deliberately set this consciousness to be a blank slate, with low intelligence, capable of understanding only simple commands at best.
——After all, Phoenix would never attack a mentally retarded person, haha.
6. Standalone stupid version. He Huan happily rubbed Fenghuang's hand.
"This child looks a little familiar, as if I've seen him somewhere." You Lin held the freshly baked Liuliu thoughtfully.
Liu Liu also raised her head and looked at You Lin thoughtfully.
The dragon and the bird stared at each other, but the scene did not last long.
Liuliu seemed to have confirmed something and called out confidently, "Chiu!"
father!
You Lin: “???”
