Chapter 2175 Innate Authority
"Brother Bai Ren!"
Just as I was sitting cross-legged on the bed in deep thought, Mu Han came over, put his arm around my shoulders, and said with a smile: "Are you sure you want to sleep with me tonight? I can see that Chi Ruonan is really interested in you. If you sleep with me tonight, wouldn't it be a waste of a great opportunity? As the saying goes, a night of spring is worth a thousand gold. In this chaotic era, you must cherish it!"
"I don't belong to this era. I am destined to leave. I don't want to hurt her!" I said, shaking my head.
"Hurt? Hurt is when you do nothing. Do you really think that living together till old age really exists in this era?"
Mu Han said indignantly, "We are all dragon slayers, all human beings. We can't say for sure that we will die at the hands of the demons one day. The same is true for Chi Ruonan. This is why girls in this era will take the initiative to attack a man after they have set their eyes on him. Because no one knows whether they will be alive tomorrow. Cherish the present so that you will not have regrets. Brother, think about it carefully!"
After saying that, Mu Han walked out of the house and went to fetch water for the widow next door.
As for me, I still sat cross-legged on the bed and didn't think much about what Mu Han said.
Because in my opinion, I am destined to leave here and will not stay in this era for too long, and Chi Ruonan is in the prime of her life. If something really happens to us and I leave, won't she be alone and lonely for the rest of her life?
This is so unfair to her!
Besides, I really don't have any other thoughts about this girl.
Time passed quietly, night slowly fell, and the whole world was shrouded in darkness again.
The bonfires around the village had long been lit, and the whole village was brightly lit, which made the village look particularly conspicuous in the dark night.
"The whole village is surrounded by bonfires. What if the demons raid the village at night according to the firelight?" I suddenly looked at Mu Han, who was leaning aside and seemed to be hollowed out, and asked.
"Hmm? Ah, you're talking about this? Don't worry!" Mu Han waved his hand and said, "There are dragon slayers and cultivators on the front line. It's not easy for the demons to break through the defense line. Even if the defense line is breached, there will be an early warning."
"Early warning?" I sneered, "If the defense line has been breached, what's the use of early warning?"
"It's useless!" Mu Han nodded, "Once the defense line is breached, the human beings hiding behind the defense line can only wait to die."
Even if there is a shelter, the human defense line has been breached. What is the shelter?
"However, the demons will not easily launch a surprise attack at night, because in this era, all races have a consensus that the night belongs to the dead, so they will not easily start a war at night. Unless... a certain race has reached a life-and-death situation, they will start a war!" Mu Han added.
I nodded. The night does belong to the dead, but for the demons, these lonely ghosts cannot pose a threat. Even if they are ghost immortals and great heavenly ghosts, it is easy for the demons to deal with them.
But since these ghosts have no intimidation to the demons, why did they reach this consensus and not start a war at night?
Is it... a reverence for the laws of heaven?
Or... is there something else that the human race does not know?
"In the dark night...are there only lonely ghosts wandering around?" I squinted my eyes and murmured. Mu Han on the side pondered for a while after hearing what he said, and then he spoke: "Rumor has it that a long time ago, there was a human cultivator who mastered the power of the dark night. In the dark night, he could not only command those lonely ghosts, but he would even become extremely powerful. In the darkness, he could ignore the distance and arrive instantly. However, this person was too impatient, and wanted to behead all the powerful demon kings. During one of his beheading actions, he was ambushed by the demons and seriously injured. Although he escaped with the help of the power of the dark night, he has never shown up since then!"
"Still have the power of the dark night?" I was slightly stunned.
"That's right, and it was from then on that the demons rarely attacked humans in the dark. Because all the demons felt that the power of the dark night was most likely still in the hands of humans, but..."
Mu Han shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But for so many years, no human has ever mastered any power. Even someone as strong as Zhang Wangu has never mastered the power of power."
"In other words, the reason why the demons don't attack humans at night is entirely because of... the sequelae of the past?"
I was stunned, thinking that the demons are really afraid of the well rope after being bitten by a snake once! I thought
the demons were all a group of reckless men, but I didn't expect that they also have such a cowardly side.
But think about it, a person who has mastered the power of the dark night, who comes and goes without a trace in the dark night, and is also extremely powerful, who would not be afraid?
After all, who doesn’t want to be sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, and then turn over to find a human man lying next to him, smiling at him, right?
"Is the man who holds the power of the Dark Night really dead?" I looked at Mu Han and asked.
"That should be the case. I once asked Luo Xia, and Luo Xia said that the power of the Dark Night has returned to the Heavenly Dao, so the power of the Dark Night is not currently held by any race. And if that person is not dead yet, the power of the Dark Night will not return to the Heavenly Dao!"
After hearing what Mu Han said, I nodded, and then suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Do you all know the power held by the major races?"
Mu Han pondered for a while, then said: "Currently, it is known that only the Dragon Clan holds the power of death and divine punishment. There are two great powers, but the powers held by the dragon clan are definitely not just these two. Moreover, the dragon clan is very special, their powers can be inherited. For example, if a dragon king holds the power of death, then as long as his descendants devour his body and three souls and seven spirits, they can inherit this power. This is why the dragon clan is becoming more and more powerful. Because the power that has been mastered will never be lost, and the new generation of dragons can continue to comprehend the way of heaven and continue to master new powers! "
"The power of death is indeed held by the dragon clan, but they don't have complete control. But I am the only one who knows this!" I said secretly in my heart, and then asked: "The power held by the rest of the demon clan... don't you know anything about it?"
Mu Han scratched his head, and then said: "Queen Luo Xia must know, but she rarely reveals these. Zhang Wangu should also know something, but what I know is indeed limited. No, I also know the power held by a race!"
Mu Han seemed to suddenly think of something, and said after a pause: "The Burning Sky Blood Phoenix clan seems to hold... the power of Nirvana! No, not hold, this power is innate to their race!"
