Chapter 804 The Return of the Gods 88
Before the storyteller finished speaking, someone from the audience threw fruit and vegetable wrappers onto the stage.
"Zhang Xiaosheng, stop kidding me. Which heroine in the book isn't breathtakingly beautiful?"
There was a sigh from the audience.
"That's right, you had to turn a good Xianxia plot into a melodramatic love triangle."
Zhang Xiaosheng glared, "I'm not talking nonsense this time. This Red Lotus Divine Master is truly a celestial being, and he's captivating everyone!"
"Forget it."
The crowd obviously didn't believe it.
Zhang Xiaosheng: "Okay, since you don't believe me, I'll tell you something else... This Red Lotus Divine Venerable, besides being beautiful, has an incredible cultivation level. She was born with divine bones, which allow her to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth without practicing."
"So awesome?"
"Of course!"
The audience's applause helped Zhang Xiaosheng regain his confidence. He raised his voice and slammed the chopping board.
"She can practice while eating, sleeping, and walking. As you know, she was born with divine bones. She doesn't need to practice or ascend to heaven to become a deity. Coupled with her acquired talent, at the age of ten, the Red Lotus Divine Venerable has become the Supreme of the Six Realms."
"It's a pity that the gods are jealous of talented people. This god has passed away at such a young age."
The audience in the audience was once again filled with heated discussions of dissatisfaction.
"Tsk, then tell me how she fell? According to you, she was the best in the world, who could kill her?"
Zhang Xiaosheng choked and shuddered, "That happened thousands of years ago. How would I know?"
"...Come on, I think you're just making this up."
This old man was telling stories in the Tianzhihen area, and all he talked about were the battles between immortals and demons and the Red Lotus God. People found it interesting at first, but after a while, they began to doubt the truth of the stories.
Amidst the noise, a brocade bag was thrown onto the storyteller's wooden table. Zhang Xiaosheng looked up and saw a veiled girl in red sitting in the audience.
The red lotus between the girl's eyebrows was as red as fire. She sat in the first row and listened with great interest.
"I love this story, please continue."
Zhang Xiaosheng opened the brocade bag and his pupils widened in shock. More than a dozen high-level spirit stones lay in the bag, emitting rich spiritual power.
One high-level spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred medium-level spirit stones.
One medium-grade spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred low-grade spirit stones.
A low-level spirit stone is equivalent to five thousand taels of silver, which can be exchanged for ten years of food for an ordinary family of four.
The audience in the audience also saw the spirit stone and was shocked by her generosity. There was an eerie silence in the audience for a while.
The person who was listening to the story was Quan Jiu. She had just arrived in the town near Tian Zhihen when she heard someone telling the story.
Everyone else thought the old man was talking nonsense, but she could hear something in what he said.
Zhang Xiaosheng looked ashamed. This was the only part of the story passed down from his ancestors, and it was all he knew.
"Girl, that's all I know."
This group of nitpicking viewers always said that he was making up stories to cheat people out of money. When he looked at the dozen or so high-level spirit stones, he had the illusion for the first time that he was really cheating people out of money.
"Then tell me a more interesting story." Quan Jiu was in a good mood.
Zhang Xiaosheng's eyes lit up with joy, and he immediately accepted the money:
"...Okay, I actually know other stories. I haven't told this story yet, and the girl is the first person to hear it."
Quan Jiu looked at him quietly.
"In fact, there was a saying back then that besides the Red Lotus God, there is another true god in the world."
As soon as Zhang Xiaosheng opened his mouth, he was ridiculed without any hesitation. He also knew what the audience was mocking. After all, he had just said it with his own mouth that after the war between gods and demons, there was only one Red Lotus God in the world.
"This true God is unknown to the public because he is not in the six realms."
"It is rumored that he was born at the beginning of the chaos when the universe was created. Before animals, plants, the heavens and the earth, the stars, humans, gods and demons were formed, he already existed alone and quietly."
"Before his birth, the world was in utter darkness. It was not until his appearance that the law of day and night came into being. Therefore, some people also call him the Sun and Moon God."
His tone was too low, and the people who were originally making a fuss gradually got into the mood and listened attentively. Some of them couldn't help asking questions.
"He existed at the beginning of the Six Realms, so how old is he?"
Zhang Xiaosheng shook his head: "No one knows."
He never tells this story because he thinks it is too depressing and lonely.
"According to the Records of Gods and Demons, the first human appeared hundreds of thousands of years ago. After hundreds of years of cultivation, he ascended to become a god. If this true god truly exists, then he must have lived alone for at least a million, or even tens of millions of years..."
Because he lived for so long, even the six realms excluded him, and all his kind forgot his existence.
001 brought Lord Ling and Fengzui and finally found Quanjiu, and discovered that she was sitting in the first row, listening intently.
As soon as Quan Jiu pulled him to sit down, 001 heard Zhang Xiaosheng's words.
As an intellectual who has experienced higher education in the 21st century, 001 has a special say. He translated Zhang Xiaosheng's words into the knowledge theory of the 21st century.
"From the way he's talking, this True God has existed since the Big Bang? That's too much. Everyone knows that the Big Bang happened over a billion years ago, and hundreds of millions more years after the birth of the first life on Earth... According to him, before the universe became desolate, this True God spent at least hundreds of millions of years alone in a completely lifeless spacetime."
The assumption gave him goosebumps.
There are no animals or plants, no wind or sun, no humans, no civilization, no history, and no country.
There are only countless dust and meteorites in the desolate and empty universe.
The entire universe is like a wormhole that swallows time, silent and lasting for thousands of years.
001: "Being alone for so long, eternity becomes torture."
If it were him, he would rather choose to enter the six realms of reincarnation and experience the birth, old age, sickness and death of ordinary people than spend such long and lonely years alone.
He looked at the cold and indifferent Lord Ling beside him: "What do you think?"
Lord Ling became extremely silent from the moment Zhang Xiaosheng started telling the story, until he heard 001 speak, then his thin lips moved slightly.
“…It used to be torture, but it’s not anymore.”
001 was stunned, looking at him with an incomprehensible look: "Why?"
In his opinion, this choice is one-way. No one would choose to survive alone in silent space for hundreds of millions of years.
This reminded him of a certain interrogation method, where the prisoner is kept in a small dark room without light or sound for a week. Even the toughest man will become fragile and sensitive and choose to confess.
Lord Zero just smiled faintly and didn't explain.
The audience fell silent, putting themselves in the audience's shoes. This was more of an extreme mental torture than physical torture.
...dividing line...
Since childhood, I have been alone, taking care of the stars of all generations.
This is the summary of Lord Zero’s character.
