Liu Yisheng's words were very plain, but Xiao Chen and Luo Ling could feel the hardships and difficulties in his words. It was hard to imagine how much sacrifice was contained in the phrase "the loss was also greater". They knew very well that many of the problems and difficulties encountered by the school could be solved one by one, and the help of magic was indispensable. If there was no magic, where would they be now? Xiao Chen could not give an answer. However, he knew that was the life that the people in Liu Yisheng's world had experienced.
Liu Yisheng continued to narrate the rest of the story: "But the Chinese are very smart. The most important thing is that most of us have received systematic scientific training. My parents soon discovered that they are particularly suited to learning magic. Compared with them, most people in this world are far behind in knowledge and wisdom. Therefore, the Chinese are advancing much faster than them. Moreover, they not only accept the magic inheritance of the past, but also continue to apply this magic to life.
I remember when I was a child, many pieces of furniture in my house, big and small, had magical powers. When I was older, there were already magical vehicles and even flying machines outside.
Six years after magic became popular, we had our first saint, Mao Kai. I still remember when he came to our primary school to give a report. He told us: When we master science in one hand and magic in the other, the door to the future will be open to us.
My father and mother are not the most talented, but they have become great magicians. I am more talented than them, and together with my sister Umeda, I am recognized as the child with the most magical potential.
At that time, I could feel that the entire Chinese territory, that is, the Republic of China, was full of a thriving atmosphere. At that time, there was a slogan called: "Magic development, return to modernization."
Xiao Chen could hear a clear fluctuation in Liu Yisheng's tone at this time. The deep pain could no longer be hidden in his words.
"But this kind of life soon came to an end, because the god of nature awakened."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen and Luo Ling's expressions also became solemn. After the warning from the God of Time, they knew very well what a catastrophic disaster the awakening of the God of Nature would be for any civilization based on magic.
Liu Yisheng obviously changed his tone and said, "History afterwards became very simple: war, endless war. The God of Nature has many lackeys, elves, temples of nature, and cities of gods! Although we tried our best to resist, we still couldn't hold on."
Xiao Chen asked: "I know about the elves and the Temple of Nature, but what is the City of God?"
"The City of Gods is where the warriors chosen by God live. At the end of the War of the Gods, the God of Nature selected the most loyal warriors, sealed them in his Kingdom of God, and let them sleep with him. When he wakes up, these warriors will wake up with him and become his butchers. Although the magicians of the Seven Holy Towers dealt a great blow to them during the War of Killing the Gods, the remaining power of these people is still very strong, and these warriors fight fearlessly and have always been the biggest threat to us." Liu Yisheng said in a deep voice, "Under this situation of long-term war, my father died first, followed by my mother. The five saints that the Chinese spent more than ten years cultivating also fell one after another.
For example, a genius like Mao Kai had few rivals in a one-on-one fight, but there were too many saints in the City of Gods. In the end, he used the Star Tower's holy magic space collapse to die together with the five saints of the City of Gods who besieged him.
In the days without saints, we fled around like dogs. Those were the days when the country was truly destroyed and the family was ruined. After the death of the powerful Chinese, many of the remaining people were separated. Some were killed by the enemy, some fled to other countries and were imprisoned as slaves, and some found a place to hide under an assumed name.
I followed Mei Tiantian and a group of last warriors and started our road of resistance. After we lost our land, we disguised ourselves as mercenaries and kept avoiding their searches. We explored various ruins and searched for all the ways to fight against the city of gods.
This escape lasted for more than ten years, and Mei Tiantian and I became saints one after another. However, facing various dangers from the pursuit of the God of Nature and the exploration of ruins, our number became smaller and smaller, from a team of dozens of people to a small team of less than six or seven people. Many of those people died in the battle, but some could not stand this hopeless life and finally chose to escape and give up. Even I don’t know how I persisted. Only Mei Tiantian was the most steadfast one. She always said: As long as we persist, we will continue to become stronger. Why can't we do what the God of Nature can do? No matter how much magic power he swallowed, I will dig it out of his body. If we give up, the whole world will really be his.
She began to fill her body with magic power little by little. She had no better way, so she could only experiment with her own body and slowly try this process. It was an extremely painful thing, but she believed that this way she could surpass the Saint level. Every night, I could feel her cells tearing apart one by one, slowly transforming her body into the form of the legendary god.
"I didn't expect that Mei Tiantian would be so stubborn. Now she is a very innocent and lovely little girl. When I think about what made her become like this, I just... sigh." Luo Ling sighed.
Xiao Chen asked, "I know there are two paths above the Saint level: Demigod and Super Saint. But what she is doing is pursuing the path of becoming a god. In the history we know, no one has succeeded except the gods in ancient times. But even if she becomes a god, can she deal with the God of Nature? You know, the God of War is also a very powerful god."
Liu Yisheng did not answer this question, but continued: "She spent five years evolving her body to the state of a demigod, and one of her fingers has the highest degree of completion, and has initially acquired the power of a god.
At this time, we encountered a very dangerous battle. In order to defeat the enemies who besieged us, she used that finger. I still remember the scene at that time very clearly. She released the power on her finger, and the enemy saints were caught off guard and could not move for a moment. Mei Tiantian, and then the four saints who besieged us were directly beaten into ashes with a blow. "
Liu Yisheng clenched his fists and said, "However, the fluctuation of divine power attracted the arrival of the God of Nature. I can't describe the pressure of walking around the world. This was a battle that I didn't see the end of. Before the battle began, we were teleported away by Mei Tiantian. But..., in the end, we lost Mei Tiantian."
