Xiao Jiang hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "Do you remember the former contract holder I mentioned before?"
Su Yang nodded: "I remember, you said your previous master was a god."
At this point, Su Yang also felt a little strange.
Since he was a god, he was naturally the most powerful being in the upper realm! But why did all of that god's legacy end up in the Purple Gold Pagoda?
At this moment, Xiao Jiang slowly said, "That's right. I vaguely remember that I wasn't sealed inside that egg on my own initiative, but rather it was my previous master who did it intentionally."
Su Yang didn't quite understand: "Why did he do that?"
Xiao Jiang pondered for a moment and said, "I'm not quite sure why either, but I remember that we were ordered to conquer a demon god, and we killed that demon god. But at that moment, my master seemed to sense some danger and sealed me in an array, completely isolating my aura. As for what happened after that, I don't know anything."
Su Yang remained silent.
According to Xiao Jiang, the god sensed the danger and sealed Xiao Jiang within the formation, presumably to ensure its survival. As for why the god has never returned to retrieve either Xiao Jiang or any of the treasures within the Purple Gold Pagoda, that remains to be seen.
I'm afraid...
He had already fallen victim to their clutches!
Even gods can die.
Su Yang had some doubts and said softly, "I feel that the threat your superior master sensed is probably far greater than imagined."
Xiao Jiang nodded: "Actually, after what you said and what you encountered, I can roughly sense that my previous master was very likely killed by other gods."
Died at the hands of other gods?
Upon hearing this answer, Su Yang raised an eyebrow, quite shocked.
At this moment, Xiao Jiang explained, "Actually, this is just my guess. After we killed the Demon God, the greatest threat was no longer the demon, but the god!"
Su Yang frowned and asked, "Are there many gods in the Upper Realm?"
Xiao Jiang looked up at the starry sky and explained, "There are many gods in the upper realm. They are mainly divided into three levels: soldiers, generals, and lords. Among them, the strength of a divine soldier is not necessarily comparable to that of a realm Daoist, while the strength of a divine general truly surpasses that of a realm Daoist. As for a lord, they are 'gods' who truly possess a divine temple! And my master is one of the lords."
"In the entire Upper Realm, there are only eight God Lords, each in charge of all affairs. Among them, three are in charge of internal affairs, and theoretically five are in charge of external affairs. However, I heard from the previous master that there is a chief god among the God Lords who, although in charge of internal affairs, is actually far more powerful than the five who are in charge of external affairs!"
"Sometimes I think that perhaps gods and demons are not about right or wrong, but simply about different perspectives. At the same time, gods and demons are both a balance in the upper realm, and they restrain each other. Once the balance is broken, the ambition of the other side may not be satisfied with the present!"
Su Yang shivered.
Why does this sound more and more mysterious?
However, what we do know, as Xiao Jiang says, is that there's no concept of good versus evil between gods and demons. So, how much truth is there in what that wandering monk said?
At this moment, Xiao Jiang slowly said, "The affairs of the Upper Realm are still too far away for you. Speaking of which, what did the successor of that Realm Daoist tell you?"
Su Yang narrowed his eyes and said, "He said he could resolve my current doubts."
Xiao Jiang asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's bothering you?"
Su Yang chuckled and said, "I have many doubts. To put it simply, I have memories of my previous life, and I came out of a stone statue. I have only known about this world for about half a year."
Xiao Jiang's cat face immediately showed a surprised expression.
The probability of a person possessing memories of a past life is approximately one trillion. Moreover, to be born into this world, especially to emerge from a stone statue, is, in layman's terms, a miracle! Simply put, only a god could emerge from a stone statue.
However, this would create a great contradiction, because gods do not reincarnate, while Su Yang has memories of his past life and is indeed a human.
What is the principle behind this?
Xiao Jiang said with a shocked expression, "It seems you have quite a few secrets."
Su Yang sighed and raised his hand to rub his brow.
At the same time, Xiao Jiang quickly recovered from his shock and said, "In that case, I personally suggest you go."
Su Yang looked up: "Why?"
Xiao Jiang analyzed, "Because you had no choice."
"The secret you are hiding is very strange, perhaps even the gods know it. If you want to understand your origins, you must first find the clues. Once you find out the real reason, your strength may increase to a higher level! But if you don't try to understand, you will remain stagnant, and you will have no chance to fight back when faced with a crisis from the upper realm."
Hearing these words, Su Yang seemed to have made a decision in his heart.
If he wants to truly understand his own situation, this is the only way at present. There are gains and losses in everything. Moreover, the monk's purpose is unclear, so it may not necessarily be the worst outcome.
So from any perspective, he really had no other choice.
Su Yang smiled and shook his head. He looked at Xiao Jiang sitting on the ground and said, "I thought you were just a braggart, but it seems you're actually quite useful."
Xiao Jiang was taken aback, a disdainful expression on his face: "Tch! I... I've already said it before, putting everything else aside, when it comes to understanding this world, if I say I'm second, no one dares to say they're first. What do you think I've been doing for the past tens of thousands of years?"
Su Yang said disdainfully, "Tens of thousands of years? And he's still only at the True Essence Realm, tsk tsk."
Xiao Jiang was furious.
However, Su Yang finally stood up and breathed a sigh of relief. He looked into the distance, squinted, and said, "You should stay here. This trip is very short, and if a real fight breaks out, you might just be killed by a cat."
Xiao Jiang swallowed hard.
It probably knew what Su Yang was planning to do.
Since Su Yang could fight the Demon Lord to a draw, it's virtually impossible for anyone else in this world, besides the Realm Daoist and the Demon Lord, to threaten him. And since this trip was arranged by the Realm Daoist, the opponent can only be the Demon Lord!
It's another fight with the Demon Lord! It's not a question of whether he'll turn into dried cat meat; he can just turn into cat scum!
Xiao Jiang shrank his hands and squatted down on the ground like an obedient cat: "Don't worry, I know this place very well. And don't underestimate me just because I'm only at the True Yuan Realm. Even if all the old men here were combined, they wouldn't be a match for me."
Su Yang smiled gently: "That's good. Protect that girl well, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, Su Yang moved and disappeared from Ziyun City in the blink of an eye.
