Chi Sui sat on a high branch, enjoying the breeze and overlooking the bustling basin below.
444 sighed, "Although Titi gave you the Purifying Heart Grass, it won't be long before it's corroded by those things. By then, you'll still fall into madness."
Chi Sui didn't say anything, but bought a lollipop from the mall and put it in his mouth.
444: "Host, please speak!"
Chi Sui sighed and said, "Just stay awake as long as you can. Can you please stop making noise?"
444 muttered, "Look, you're getting impatient now."
Chi Sui suppressed the faint irritation in his heart and stroked the green buds on his earlobe.
This is the Purifying Heart Grass that Titi gave her, saying that it can help Chi Sui resist the invasion of negative emotions to a certain extent.
But it is estimated that this Pure Heart Grass will wither soon.
Chi Sui simply changed his posture and lay on the tree branch.
The footsteps slowly approached, and Long Xi walked to the tree where Chi Sui was.
He looked up, his lips pursed tightly: "Can you tell me?"
Chi Sui lowered his eyes and looked down at him: "Are you mentally prepared?"
Long Xi nodded: "Yes."
Chi Sui sighed and held out his hand: "Come up, I'll tell you."
As the two of them sat together on the tree branch, Long Xi looked at the setting sun and chuckled, "The old demon king... took me back to the Demon Realm. He treated me very well and gave me the feeling of being a father figure in this other world."
"Because I didn't like talking, he took me to various places in the Demon Realm to relax and let Vitru play with me. Knowing that I liked reading, he sent me to the Elf Tribe so that I could continue my studies."
Long Xi's crimson eyes stared at the setting sun, a hint of disappointment flashing across them. "When I saw the Demon King's mark in the fossil, I roughly guessed it."
Chi Sui pursed his lips.
Long Xi turned sideways and smiled at Chi Sui: "It's okay, you can tell me."
Chi Sui subconsciously looked away.
"Do you know the source of the black energy in the Demon Realm?"
Long Xi pondered for a moment and nodded: "I probably know."
This time Chi Sui was a little surprised.
Long Xi curled his lips: "After all, I am a god, so I am more sensitive to this kind of thing."
He paused and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, the black air above the Demon Realm is the filth produced by all living things in this world, except those born in the Demon Realm."
Chi Sui suddenly smiled: "Long Xi, you are really smart."
Long Xi lowered his eyes and drooped his fingers slightly: "I would rather not guess anything."
"It would be better to be kept in the dark for a lifetime."
Chi Sui reached out and grabbed his knuckles. His body temperature was cool, and it felt especially comfortable to hold it in his hand in such a hot summer day.
"So what else did you guess?"
Chi Sui smiled.
Long Xi looked at his tightly clenched fingers, his ears burning. "All things are interdependent and mutually exclusive. Creatures born from the demonic realm shrouded in black energy can absorb that black energy to a certain extent."
Chi Sui nodded: "Is that why you let the monsters reproduce wildly before?"
After all, every monster family has 108 litters.
Long Xi smiled: "I guess so."
"I discovered this problem after I killed the pure demon army. I found that the black energy in the Demon Realm was spreading beyond the Demon Realm."
"There weren't many monsters still alive at the time, and most of them were eaten as food by the pure demon army."
"I speculate that the spread of the black gas is due to the sharp decrease in the number of monsters and monsters in the Demon Realm."
Chi Sui nodded.
She thought for a moment, then muttered, "What about the demon? You definitely don't know that!"
Long Xi looked quietly at the demons in the basin below and raised his eyebrows: "I might have guessed something."
Chi Sui: ………
Seeing Chi Sui's somewhat frustrated look, Long Xi narrowed his eyes in amusement and said, "I've done some research and found that the demons were born three thousand years ago, not long after the Demon Realm was attacked by other creatures."
Chi Sui nodded: "According to historical records, there were almost no survivors in the Demon Realm at that time."
Long Xi nodded: "Yes, after most of the creatures that could absorb the black energy of the Demon Realm died, the black energy of the Demon Realm began to spread rapidly. At the same time, a forest was born in this desert."
"At that time, the monsters that escaped from the Demon Realm suddenly captured many women from the villages on the edge of the desert."
"Soon after, countless demon ancestors were born in this forest."
Long Xi wrapped Chi Sui's hand, which was gripping his knuckles, with his own palm.
This, he thought, was not what a gentleman should do.
But...Long Xi subconsciously looked at Chi Sui, and saw that Chi Sui did not pull his hand away, and there was no rejection on his face, so he felt a secret joy in his heart.
He gently wrapped Chi Sui's hand, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously: "So I think that the birth of demons, like demons and monsters, can also absorb the black air above the demon domain."
"This place borders a desert in the Demon Realm, so it can probably be considered part of the Demon Realm."
"After all, they are also shrouded by that black energy."
Chi Sui said meaningfully, "You're right. It seems you are really smart."
Long Xi smiled and said, "There are still some things I'm not clear about."
He lowered his eyes and spoke in a serious tone, "Why is it that only here can demons be born? Why are the fossils of past demon kings here?"
Long Xi clearly remembered that he had buried the old demon king's body himself, and the coffin was in an open space in the Demon Realm.
Chi Sui sat up straight. "Long Xi, have you ever thought about this? The geological landscape of this world has been constantly changing over the years. The vast ocean can turn into mulberry fields, but this place has always been a desert?"
Long Xi frowned: "Nothing has changed here."
Chi Sui nodded: "This is where the black energy was originally born, no..."
She thought for a moment and pointed towards the Demon Realm bordering the forest. "It should be said that the desert connecting your Demon Realm and this place, and even the area of this forest, is the most primitive gathering place of the black energy."
"Before demons were born here, the only creatures that could absorb black energy were basically gathered in the forests within the Demon Realm, where the food chain was richer."
"Then the black energy moved from the desert to the place where demons and monsters gathered inside the Demon Realm."
"After the demon was born, the black energy began to gather in the forest where the demon resided."
Long Xi lowered his eyes: "You mean, these black energies are conscious."
Chi Sui sighed, "It's not that the black energy has consciousness, but that every world is seeking balance in the dark."
"The black energy was born from living beings, but it was unable to merge into those beings. So nature sought a way to achieve balance, and thus another group of living beings that could absorb the black energy were born."
“When the balance of either side is broken, nature will consciously seek a new balance.”
The principle is like this: organisms produce carbon dioxide when they breathe, and plants can absorb carbon dioxide. This is the balance given by nature.
