Huang then selected the most powerful goddess from the fifth generation and named her Luo.
Luo is a river.
His original intention was to have Luo assist the emperor in finding a way to reproduce offspring.
But He couldn't utter those words before transforming into a wisp of spiritual energy and dissipating into the world.
Luo and Huang didn't have a good relationship. The two outstanding minor gods always wanted to compare themselves. As the saying goes, "two tigers cannot share one mountain," which means the same thing.
Luo later left the north and drifted to a body of water, where he was attracted by a handsome man bathing in the water.
She thought this handsome man was better looking than the emperor.
In the end, Luo did not return to the north, but instead lived with this handsome man.
The handsome man told Luo that his name was Jiuying.
Luo loved Jiuying's appearance as a handsome man, so he stayed here for him, playing and splashing in the water with him every day. The two of them were very happy.
By this time, Jiuying had matured and would no longer transform into a whiny monster all day long. Instead, he preferred to transform into a handsome man and bathe in the water.
After they got together, they somehow learned how to have intercourse, and Luo's belly grew bigger day by day.
By this time, they already knew that the large belly represented the imminent birth of a new life.
The two were very happy; they were going to have a child.
Three years later, Luo gave birth to a baby boy who was born in human form, a handsome man who was cultivated from the Nine-Headed Serpent.
They named their child Luo Ying.
The child was born using the seed that Jiu Ying had placed inside Luo's body. One character was taken from one of the child's names, and the child was named Luo Ying.
...
The above fairy tale comes from the opening prologue of the book Zhou Quan was reading.
What Zhou Quan didn't understand was, what was the connection between this fairy tale and Li Mai's story?
However, he saw a familiar name in this fairy tale: Luo Ying.
Isn't that his name from his past life, the name he remembered?
Li Mai noticed Zhou Quan staring blankly, peeked over, and smiled. "Don't you think this ancient mythical beast's son shares your name? I was startled when I first saw it too, but it's just a coincidence."
“My story is at the end, you can read it slowly. This book is quite thick, if you can’t finish it today, you can read it another day. Shall we go out and go to sleep first?” Li Mai was sleepy.
"Okay, go out first. I'm not sleepy yet. I'll read this book first. You go to sleep. Remember to bring the book in tomorrow morning." Zhou Quan responded softly and helped her to her feet.
Li Mai nodded, and with a thought, she took him out. She washed up and went to bed.
After washing up, Zhou Quan took the book back to the soft couch and quietly began to read it.
Why didn't he discover this book in that world before?
Perhaps Li Mai thought that this Luo Ying might be someone with the same name as him, but he was a little uneasy. Could it be him?
Because, in his memory, he seemed to have lived for a very long time, then fell asleep, then woke up again, lived for a hundred years, then fell asleep again, then woke up again, and so on.
Although the memory was somewhat hazy, he still had an impression of those things in his mind.
What he remembered most vividly was the cage that had kept him confined, the old man who watched over him, and his granddaughter.
The old man died because of himself, and the little girl also disappeared in the fire, which he had thought was dead.
He thought Zhuzhu was that child because their eyes looked very similar.
However, Li Mai's words tonight frightened him and made him tremble. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to sleep until he finished reading the book and Li Mai's story.
Seeing that Li Mai seemed a little uncomfortable with her brows furrowed after lying down, he put down his book, went over and lay down next to her, gently massaging her lower back. She had probably been too tired these past few days, as he noticed she would occasionally rub her lower back.
Li Mai felt comfortable after his large hands massaged her waist with fire-elemental spiritual power for a while. She found a comfortable position, nestled in his arms, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
Zhou Quan didn't get out of bed again, but picked up a book and started reading on the bed.
Tens of thousands of years later, as the spiritual energy left by Huang was finally exhausted, those minor gods could no longer maintain their youthful appearance, and slowly grew old, transforming into spiritual energy and dissipating into the world.
Over the years, their descendants have developed into many generations, each generation weaker than the last, until the divine power disappeared from humanity.
However, among the offspring born from the union of some humans and alien beasts that have transformed into human form, there are quite a few humans who possess supernatural abilities.
Gradually, without divine power, humans began to learn various survival skills and ways to make themselves stronger. They also longed to return to the era when they possessed divine power and ruled the world.
However, those with superpowers would not let them have their way.
Therefore, wars and disputes constantly exist in this world.
Ultimately, the beautiful world built according to Huang's wishes was turned into a dilapidated mess.
In order to become stronger, some humans who possessed various abilities mated with those who had superpowers, giving birth to children with spiritual roots.
These children weren't born with supernatural abilities; rather, they needed to cultivate, wait for an opportune moment, and absorb enough spiritual energy to awaken their spiritual roots. Awakening their spiritual roots meant they could learn supernatural abilities.
Gradually, after some more years, humanity discovered that even the superhumans they created, who had learned superpowers, were still no match for those born with superpowers and containing the bloodlines of alien beasts.
Therefore, some extreme scientists proposed capturing people with superhuman bloodlines, extracting their blood, and conducting research to see if it could help improve human blood structure, thus allowing humans to also have naturally gifted individuals.
The following story tells of how humans captured superhumans who were the offspring of strange beasts.
As Zhou Quan read through the stories, one story caught his eye.
That story was the story of the large iron cage that imprisoned him in his memory.
The story tells of how they captured a superhuman who supposedly possessed a very high purity of alien beast bloodline. He didn't know his name and spoke a language they couldn't understand.
However, the superhuman was unable to help them with their research because his blood was extremely difficult to obtain.
Ultimately, the superhuman turned on them, unleashing a strange fire that burned down the laboratory. The old scientist guarding the iron cage also died trying to save his granddaughter.
The scientist's son, daughter-in-law, daughter, son-in-law, and wife all died during his previous research projects.
The old scientist's granddaughter was eventually found by the organization, but she had fallen into a deep sleep. They had no choice but to seal her away and put her in a sleeping box. More than a hundred years later, she was released and continued to live in this world.
