Chapter 720 I only hope the stars will shine

Jiang Shan has thousands of thoughts in his mind.

Everyone knows this, except Jiang Shan. Although he can understand it, because the enemy is the sky. Every word and action must be cautious.

But it feels bad.

As a member of the innate human race, his position is absolutely hostile to nature; as a human being, he hopes to walk on the path opened up by his ancestors, breaking through all obstacles in the hope that man can conquer nature.

——There is still a kind of helplessness.

He did not blame Cheng Tang and the others for their concealment and calculations.

In the final analysis, I am just too weak!

If he were an adult innate human being now, Cheng Tang would definitely not hide anything from him.

Because adult innate humans are qualified to face the sky! But not now, he hasn't even passed the infancy.

After infancy, there are childhood, adolescence, and perhaps even adolescence, and only after those do we reach adulthood.

What a long time! Jiang Shan was secretly worried.

In the blink of an eye, night fell. Jiang Shan and Lai Zhu were on the deck of the Wuxiang Kingdom's warship, leaning against the side of the ship and looking up at the starry sky.

Lai Zhu said: "Yi Zhi inherited Chisongzi's legacy, and I inherited Rong Chenggong's legacy by chance, so I have a certain understanding of the ancient world. In ancient times, the sky was full of stars, and each star was a universe. They were attached to the earth and revolved in the starry sky. Every night, there was an extra brilliance."

Jiang Shan looked at the starry sky, which was pitch black.

Lai Zhu said: "Unfortunately, the stars no longer exist. Some were destroyed in the battles between heaven and man, while others were hidden in the depths of the void. Today, it is good luck to be able to see one or two stars at night."

He pointed to the northwest sky, where a faint starlight flickered: "I'm lucky tonight. I can see the Big Dipper."

The dim and flickering Big Dipper in the northwest starry sky came into Jiang Shan's sight. It was the only one in this pitch-black starry sky.

Jiang Shan couldn't help but say, "I've never looked up at the starry sky."

Thinking back carefully now, from the first time I came to this universe, I met Zhongyu in the Zhang'e Mountain; after that, I accompanied him all the way south, sleeping in the open air, and covering the ground with my blanket, but I had never paid attention to the stars in the sky.

Lai Zhu said: "We hope that one day, the stars in the sky will be as bright as they were in ancient times. And everything we do and our struggles are for this goal."

Then he said seriously: "Cheng Tang will come tomorrow."

"At that time, just go to the place where Xing Tian was beheaded and Nvchou's body was lying. We will take care of everything outside, so you don't need to worry too much."

He also said: "Among them, you will definitely meet the big crab first. The big crab is the companion of Nüba. After Nüchou's corpse was buried, he has stayed here and has never left."

"Big crab?" Jiang Shan said.

Lai Zhu nodded: "Or he is the Crab Ancestor. He was once a follower of Yinglong, and later accompanied Nüba."

It says: "Yinglong is a god in the sky, and was subdued by Huangdi. Crab Ancestor was a follower of Yinglong. After Yinglong was subdued by Huangdi, Big Crab also became a follower of Huangdi."

"When Nüba was born, the sky was full of red flames and the rage was overwhelming. So the Yellow Emperor asked a big crab to accompany Nüba and use water to relieve the fire, and only then was Nüba saved from danger."

"Nüba's corpse was Nüchou, and Daxie linked his life to Nüba. They thought Nüba was dead, but they didn't know she was still alive."

"If the crab is clear-minded, it means Xingtian's head is safe; if he is manic and stupid, you must be careful."

As he spoke, a mysterious aura lingered around him. Jiang Shan sensed it and immediately understood that it was the magical power of reversing yin and yang! He also knew this magical power.

Knowing that what Lai Zhu said was secret, he used his magical power of reversing yin and yang to confuse and blur the content of the conversation so as to prevent it from being leaked.

Lai Zhu continued, "Several years ago, Cheng Tang, Yi Zhi and I had made all the necessary preparations for this and had drawn up an implementation plan."

"We're all waiting for you."

"Because only you, the last of the innate human race, can free Jingwei, rescue Nüba, and resolve the origin of heaven in Xingtian's head."

Jiang Shan nodded silently.

When he decided to get involved in this whirlpool, all of this was inevitable; and as the younger generation, it is also a responsibility and obligation to liberate, rescue and solve the historical problems left over by the predecessors!

He had already prepared himself mentally for this.

Lai Zhu said: "In fact, we really want to tell you everything at once, but we can't. Hiding countless secrets in our hearts will also bring huge pressure. We wish someone could share the burden. But you are too immature now!"

"You just need to know one thing, no matter what, Cheng Tang and I will never harm you!"

At this point, Lai Zhu was silent for a long time.

Then he said: "You will definitely benefit from this trip. Not to mention that Nvwa and Nvba are both innate human beings, and they have their own legacy; Xingtian's head is also a precious item. Just the origin of Daotian, if you can refine it, you will benefit infinitely!"

He paused for the last word and said, "When Han Xuan usurped the throne, the Shennong Ding suddenly flew out of the sky, so we have no other way to help you. Those who have the ability to forcibly refine the origin of the sky are all at the end of the universe, fighting against the sky; the only artifact that has the power to refine the origin of the sky is the Shennong Ding, but the Shennong Ding is not here."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Cheng Tang asked me to tell you that the basic condition for refining the origin of heaven is to cut off the connection between this origin and heaven. He said that you will definitely understand how to do it."

The next day, Cheng Tang came as expected.

He still looked the same as he had when he first came to Nanchao—with dishevelled hair, wearing linen clothes, barefoot, and a weather-beaten face, like a middle-aged farmer.

The only difference is that compared to before, he now has an extra sword.

Xuan-Yuan Sword.

The Xuanyuan Sword had no sheath. It was tied with a hemp rope by Cheng Tang and hung at the waist. At first glance, this sword was not eye-catching at all, and looked no different from the bronze swords held by the soldiers of those foreign countries. Only occasionally a flash of light flashed, reflecting the images of mountains, rivers, earth, sun, moon, stars, and all living things, and then one realized its magic!

Cheng Tang smiled and said to Jiang Shan: "After so many years, we finally meet again."

Jiang Shan laughed: "Yes."

Said: "You are still the same as before."

Cheng Tang sighed: "You have grown a lot."

Then he got straight to the point and said, "I'm sure Laiju has told you everything he can tell you."

Jiang Shan nodded.

Cheng Tang said: "Yi Zhi is sure that only you can solve the problem here; I also believe that only you can solve the problem here. But crises are everywhere, and no matter how thorough I am, I may not be able to make it all right."

Jiang Shan laughed: "There is no such thing as a foolproof plan in this world. When doing things, set a goal and do it according to your ability. Don't think too much."

He said: "Jingwei and Nüba are my ancestors. Now that I have come here and met them, I cannot just stand by and watch."

Cheng Tang patted Jiang Shan's shoulder vigorously, his eyes passed over Jingwei on the other side of Jiang Shan's shoulder, and said seriously: "All I can do is watch the door for you."

He patted Xuanyuan Sword and said, "Go in now without worry. I won't leave until you come out."
