Shen Qian stood on the cliff face, watching the massive, hunched figure of the Ox God slowly disappear into the horizon, lost in thought.
After sharing instant noodles with Shen Qian, the Snake God left. After exchanging words with the Snake God, Shen Qian's doubts only increased.
He could tell that the snake god wasn't hiding anything from him, but the information he got from the snake god wasn't much different from his own guesses.
About nine hundred years ago, the Yuezhi people fled to Mangshan. Shortly after that, a human warrior dressed in white stepped into Mangshan.
As the ruler of Python Mountain at the time, the Snake God may not have paid much attention to the weak Yuezhi clan, but he immediately became wary of the man in white.
But according to the snake god, it was almost powerless against the man in white.
The man in white did not harm it, but simply made a deal with it.
He pointed the serpent god down a path that no god would attempt, a path that was utterly insane.
Enlightenment!
The gods are born from heaven and earth, and "the Way" is a completely foreign concept to them.
This unfamiliarity does not mean that they do not understand the application of the Tao.
As the darlings of heaven and earth, gods are born with the ability to control a path.
For example, Qi Shen was born with a talent for the Way of Thunder, which is a Great Way that transcends the Five Elements.
According to the Snake God, there are many powerful deities who even control multiple paths.
However, being able to apply the Dao does not mean that they can comprehend the Dao.
Just like how we are born with the ability to feel joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, it's a basic skill that we acquire without needing to learn it.
It is precisely because of this that it becomes increasingly impossible for deities to "attain enlightenment".
How do you analyze things you already know?
To some extent, gods, like monsters, have their future potential determined from the moment they are born into the world.
The white-robed man's proposal was something that 99% of the gods in the world would not be moved by.
The gods possess long lifespans and immense power, which means that the laws of the universe will exert exceptionally strong constraints on them.
Enlightenment?
That was the most taboo of taboos.
Some gods have tried, but they all ended up being reduced to ashes and lost to the ways of heaven.
But the serpent god was tempted.
Without the slightest hesitation, it agreed to the man in white.
In return, the Serpent God will protect the Yue Clan, allowing them to live and multiply in the Python Mountain, awaiting... the arrival of that day.
"What day was that?" Shen Qian was taken aback.
The serpent god shook his head.
The man in white said something along the lines of that when the serpent god faced the tribulation of Nirvana, someone would appear to help it overcome the calamity.
To be honest, I used to find these superstitious things a bit annoying.
However, considering that the man in white has appeared in his dreams more than once, and now that Shen Qian has discovered traces of the man in white in the real world, the meaning behind this is something that Shen Qian should ponder deeply.
I have a feeling that someone is playing a very big game.
Shen Qian's choice, though clearly made after careful consideration of the situation, seems to have just confirmed the other party's plan.
In addition, Shen Qian also asked the Snake God about the timeline.
However, the serpent god only lived and reigned for a few thousand years. According to the other party, there was another great era ten thousand years ago or even longer ago.
That era was called... the Mythical Age.
For example, Nuwa, Pangu, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and other mythological figures that we may have heard of or know about before, were all figures from that era.
"Who said China only has a history of five thousand years?"
Shen Qian was internally complaining at the time.
However, all the legends were recorded by the ancients. In an era when spiritual energy was stagnant, how could ordinary people in the world dare to imagine such a magnificent history?
Given the limitations of one's perspective, time discrepancies are to be expected.
Shen Qian then turned his thoughts back to the Yue clan.
Why then did the man in white ask the snake god to protect the Yuezhi tribe?
He remembered that the Yuezhi had once said that she was also waiting for someone.
Judging from the other party's attitude towards me, it is obvious that the person she is talking about is me. So what is my significance to the Yue clan?
Shen Qian suddenly realized with a start that the Moon Falcon had disappeared without him noticing.
He looked around, then suddenly leaped into the air and fell into the valley.
Soon, Shenqian landed in the territory of the Yue clan.
The scene of devastation was within Shen Qian's expectations, but what surprised him was that the entire clan territory was eerily quiet, with hardly any signs of life.
Shen Qian frowned. Although quite some time had passed since the arrival of the Qi God when he and Yue Jun arrived, surely the entire clan couldn't have been wiped out. What was the Qi God still doing here?
Shen Qian closed his eyes, but as his spiritual perception spread, he suddenly opened them. In a single movement, he had already traversed hundreds of meters and arrived at the depths of the valley, at the dwelling place of the Yuezhi.
Here, Yuejun sat blankly on the ground, quietly watching the old man who was also sitting on the ground in the courtyard.
Beside the two lay a still-warm corpse.
Shen Qian narrowed her eyes. The person on the ground was none other than the number one genius of the Great Yue Clan, the Moon Wolf who hadn't been very friendly to her.
The old man sitting on the ground was a Yuezhi.
The Yuezhi's condition was strange. At first glance, she seemed to have no vital signs, but she was still breathing slowly.
Hearing footsteps, Yuejun turned around and stared blankly at Shenqian, her cheeks already streaked with tears.
