"Sumu, who are these people... no, who are these gods? Can you introduce them to me?"
Kevin lowered his voice and spoke to Su Mu.
He was always a chatterbox, and although he couldn't control his mouth at this time, his voice involuntarily became much lower.
It was obvious that they were frightened by the gods sitting cross-legged in the heart of the huge corpse.
"Let me introduce them?" Su Mu was stunned. "I don't know them either."
"You don't know him? But isn't there an old...acquaintance of yours here?"
Kevin originally wanted to say "old lover", but he chickened out when the words came to his mouth. It was not because he was afraid of Su Mu, he was used to joking with Su Mu. What he was afraid of was the immortal sitting cross-legged here.
These gods are alive! If I anger them with a joke, I can't even imagine how miserable my fate will be.
"Old acquaintance..."
Su Mu was also curious about this question.
Who was waiting for him in the heart of the giant corpse? Could it be the person he guessed?
As Su Mu was thinking, he heard a familiar voice in his ear: "Su Mu, you are finally here... Xiao Ye, we meet again. And we haven't seen that bat spirit for some time."
This sound was not only heard by Su Mu, Su Ye and Kevin, but also by others.
If there weren't dozens of immortal-level bosses sitting here, and the person who was speaking was probably also an immortal, I'm afraid Lin Junjie, Pei Jun and others would have already started teasing Kevin: "You said that Teacher Su has an old lover here? Aren't you the same?"
When Su Mu and Su Ye heard the familiar voice, they looked at each other subconsciously.
"It's Brother Liang Yi's voice!" Su Ye's expression was filled with surprise and a hint of excitement.
Su Mu nodded and thought to himself, "I really guessed it right..."
Compared to the two of them, Kevin looked indignant and unhappy.
You are the bat spirit! Your whole family is a bat spirit! My species is completely different from the bat spirit! Biologically speaking, bats belong to the order Chiroptera, while we belong to the order Sub-Homina! You are a god, but you don't even have this common sense. It's shameful... No, it's shameful for the god!
Of course, no matter how angry and upset Kevin was, he only dared to complain in his heart but didn't dare to say it out loud.
What if the immortal heard this and was unwilling to admit his mistake, and insisted on turning Kevin into a bat spirit?
Even if Kevin had no objection, what if it caused family conflicts and made his dad suspect that his mom really had some unclear relationship with the bat spirit next door?
For the sake of family harmony, Kevin could only swallow his anger and weakly retorted: "I'm really not a bat spirit..." Then he frowned: "This voice sounds a bit familiar."
Su Mu reminded him, "Remember when we went to attend the Alchemy Academic Exchange Forum, you accompanied me back home, and ended up encountering the demon wife and ghost baby incident?"
Kevin nodded: "Of course I remember, the idiot who was deceived by the demon wife and ghost baby and almost lost his life. Later, he mysteriously disappeared... Hey, why are you mentioning this?"
Su Mu wanted to cover his mouth, but it was too late.
Ekaterina, who was standing by, understood what Sumu meant. After hearing what her disappointing brother said, her expression suddenly changed. She quickly stepped forward and held up the knight's shield to protect Kevin.
Even though she usually bullies Kevin, at critical moments, even when facing a god, she would rush up without hesitation.
Kevin was completely confused when he saw this scene. His expression instantly turned ugly and he said awkwardly, "No way..."
Before Su Mu could speak, Liang Yi's voice rang in everyone's ears again: "Well, I am the idiot you mentioned."
"I was wrong!" Kevin fell to his knees and admitted his mistake without any hesitation.
Fortunately, Liang Yi had no intention of blaming Kevin. He guided everyone to find his body among the dozens of sitting gods.
But he still sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, motionless.
It looks like he is in seclusion and practicing, or like he is doing something very important that cannot be stopped, nor can he be distracted too much.
Su Mu looked at Liang Yi who was sitting cross-legged here.
He looks very similar to the Liang Yi that he is familiar with... He is worthy of being his incarnation in the human world.
It's just that the Liang Yi that Su Mu is familiar with has a bit more "popularity" and enthusiasm in his temperament. Liang Yi, who is sitting cross-legged in the heart of the huge corpse, has a cold expression and a grim temperament, which makes people feel afraid at first sight and difficult to get close to.
Su Mu adjusted his mood and asked, "Should I call you Liang Yi? Or something else?"
Liang Yi's voice sounded again, but he didn't open his mouth: "Just call me like before. The name is just a code name. It doesn't matter what you call me. Besides, I'm used to the way you and Xiao Ye called me before."
Su Mu nodded, followed his words and greeted him, then went straight to the point: "Brother Liang Yi, is the information about the gene lock here?"
"That's right." Liang Yi's voice sounded, "Let me introduce to you first. These people in the heart of the giant spirit are all immortals who survived after the second secret realm came to an end..."
Liang Yi began to talk about an unknown secret in history.
"In the later period of the second secret realm, the situation was very good. We were about to repel the invasion of demons and ghosts and seize some secret realms with better environments and resources. But at this time, we noticed that the data of cultivators breaking through to become immortals and gods was falling sharply.
After some investigation, it was discovered that demons and ghosts had tampered with the genes of humans and monsters, cutting off the path to becoming immortals and gods!
After discovering this, we organized people to conduct research to repair the genes that were tampered with by the demon ghost. On the other hand, we sent out elites to raid the demon ghost’s research base and seized some intelligence information about the gene lock..."
Although Liang Yi explained the whole process of the incident in just a few words, Su Mu knew that things would definitely not be that simple.
Whether it was obtaining intelligence, determining the location of the demon research base, or the subsequent raid, etc., a series of actions involved the efforts of countless people, as well as bloodshed and sacrifice.
However, Su Mu did not interrupt Liang Yi. Like Su Ye, Kevin and others, he listened quietly to Liang Yi's explanation of this secret history.
"As you can see, among those who raided the demon research base, there were our group." At this point, Liang Yi sighed, "There were more than just these people who participated in the operation, but the others have already sacrificed their lives..."
Liang Yi's voice was silent for a moment before he continued, "After we seized the intelligence, we were chased and intercepted by the demons and ghosts. We were eventually trapped in Buzhou Mountain, where a great battle broke out with the demons and ghosts! After the battle, both sides suffered heavy losses, so they worked together to seal Buzhou Mountain..."
"Work together to seal Mount Buzhou?" Kevin couldn't help but ask after hearing this.
“When I say we worked together, it was only afterwards that I discovered that we were both sealing Mount Buzhou.
As for the reason, we sealed it to block the reinforcements of the demons.
Because Mount Buzhou was still under the control of demons at that time, it was difficult for our reinforcements to arrive.
The demons and ghosts sealed us because they were afraid that we would break out of Buzhou Mountain and take the information of the gene lock out, thus ruining their plans!
In fact, at that time, the demons were about to be repelled, and our troops appeared near Mount Buzhou, but we were unaware of these situations. Of course, the demons also didn't know that we were already at the end of our strength and were about to collapse. "
Liang Yi said this and smiled bitterly.
"We and the demons misjudged the situation. If we had adopted guerrilla tactics and circled the demons in Buzhou Mountain, we might have been able to hold out until reinforcements arrived.
If the demons can surround us and attack us, they will have a chance to destroy us. Unfortunately, although we are gods, we don’t have a ‘God’s perspective’ and we can’t go back in time… So this is the situation we are in now.”
Everyone was silent.
Under the circumstances at that time, it was not surprising that Liang Yi and the demon ghosts made such a choice.
After all, as Liang Yi said, they don’t have a God’s perspective. They only know that their own situation is not good, but they don’t know that the enemy’s situation is just as bad.
Sumu and the others recalled the bodies they had seen along the way, buried in the rolling yellow sand...
Among those corpses, there must be many gods who died in battle here, right?
After a moment of silence, Su Mu raised a question that had troubled him for a long time: "Why did the secret realm appear?"
Liang Yi replied: "Because demons are going to invade our world."
Su Mu was even more puzzled: "Why did they invade? The resources in the secret realm are not worse than ours, right? After failing once, they came a second time, a third time... Why are they so persistent?"
Liang Yi explained: "Because our world has a very special ability that can purify spiritual energy.
The Pure Spirit Grass that you have bred in the past hundred years or so actually amplifies this effect.
You have been to the Yuanjiao Secret Realm, and you should know that the spiritual energy there is in a disordered and violent state. In such an environment, even demons and ghosts will go crazy because of inhaling too much disordered spiritual energy. Even if they have the ability to suppress the disordered spiritual energy in their bodies and prevent themselves from going astray, they will still be tortured very painfully. The tiger demon that followed you out of the Yuanjiao Secret Realm should be very clear about this. "
King Dalihu didn't expect that the topic would suddenly turn to him. After a moment of silence, he nodded quickly.
He surrendered to Sumu because he was fed up with the torture of disordered spiritual energy. He changed his mind when he saw that Sumu had the pure spiritual grass that could purify the spiritual energy.
It was definitely not because he was scared by Su Mu’s beating.
Well, absolutely not.
Kevin touched his chin and said, "So, the reason why the demons want to invade our world is to use us as an air purifier?"
This metaphor made Liang Yi silent for a moment, and then he said: "You can understand it this way."
