In the dark world, a pair of turbid eyes opened. Compared to the bloody eyes around them, these eyes looked extremely small. They were no different from normal human eyes, but they looked a little more weathered.
"Who are you."
Jiang Xiaofan asked.
Although this world is very dark, it does not affect him at all.
"The dying man."
The old voice said.
All around, the darkness dispersed, revealing a skinny old man.
"Checkmate? Not necessarily."
Jiang Xiaofan said.
Although the old man's body is very dry and it seems that he may step into the coffin at any time, but he has the eyes of reincarnation and can clearly see that the old man's vitality is still very strong, and it is not a problem to live for tens of thousands of years.
The old man chuckled: "Just kidding."
"It's not funny."
Jiang Xiaofan said.
He could clearly see the old man's true form, which was also a dark and ferocious beast, not a real human being.
"Really? I thought it would be funny." The old man shook his head, and then his expression suddenly became serious. He looked at Jiang Xiaofan and said, "Human, I want to make a deal with you."
"trade?"
Jiang Xiaofan was confused.
The old man nodded, stretched out his right hand, and a halo appeared in the palm of his hand.
Jiang Xiaofan's eyes suddenly condensed. The mysterious light he sensed under the black hole in the 82nd Divine City was this thing. In other words, it was for this thing that he rushed into the black hole.
"You want this."
The old man said.
Jiang Xiaofan looked at the other party, remained silent for a moment, and said, "Content of the transaction."
Akito doesn't tell secrets, he really wants this thing.
The old man nodded and said: "On this ancient road, there are a total of eighteen dark seal places. Our clan is separated and sealed in these eighteen places. I will give you this light. You can help my clan unlock these seals." .”
"impossible."
Jiang Xiaofan refused directly.
In the 82nd Divine City, he has seen the terror of those dark beasts, all of them are Dao Zong-level beings, which are too terrifying. If such a clan of beasts were born, it would be extremely dangerous.
Although he wanted this light, there was no need to bring disaster to this ancient road.
"Do you think our clan is a disaster?"
The old man said.
Jiang Xiaofan frowned. The old man seemed to understand his thoughts clearly.
"To be honest, it is true that from the sea of consciousness of some people, I saw information about you who were sealed. Moreover, I also saw just now that those of your tribe who came out from here almost killed everyone they saw. .”
he said.
All around, pairs of huge bloody eyes stared at Jiang Xiaofan, their eyes full of evil aura.
However, because Xiao Baize was lying on top of him, these ferocious beasts did not dare to approach.
The old man stared at Jiang Xiaofan, remained silent for a long time, and said, "The winner has the right to fabricate the truth, you know."
Jiang Xiaofan frowned.
"What's the meaning?"
He looked at the old man and vaguely understood what he meant.
The old man glanced around and sighed deeply.
"Back then, this piece of heaven was the territory of my Dark Beast Clan. I am not boasting, but my clan is indeed very powerful. Within the clan, there are endless Taoist masters." The old man looked at Jiang Xiaofan, as if he was telling Jiang Xiaofan something to listen to, and then He seemed to be recalling: "One day, three humans broke into this heavenly realm and demanded that our clan surrender and hand over their secret treasures. Our clan refused, and what followed was massacre and suppression."
"Our clan is cruel? Violent? At that time, our clan was the guardian clan of this heaven. Maybe you are thinking about what just happened, but, human being, I want to ask you, if you were sealed by a certain clan for endless years for no reason, you would be born. Later, if you happen to meet a member of this clan, can you hold back your desire to kill?"
The old man looked at Jiang Xiaofan steadily.
Jiang Xiaofan frowned: "If what you say is true, I really can't help it."
"If you are still questioning."
The old man said.
"Naturally, I have no reason to believe a stranger's word."
Jiang Xiaofan confessed.
The old man was silent for a while, then looked at Xiao Baize.
His cloudy old eyes showed a look of great respect.
"We are monsters, and beside you, there is the supreme emperor of our monster clan." The old man bowed his head and saluted Xiao Baize, and said: "If you are the emperor, you can clearly feel whether our words are true, and you can make For the most accurate judgment, no trace of our thinking can hide from the emperor’s perception.”
Jiang Xiaofan frowned, is this happening
He raised his head and looked at the little guy above him: "Can you tell whether their words are true?"
The little guy screamed happily, looking confident.
"So, what he said just now is true or false."
He pointed to the old man ahead.
"Woo!"
The little guy nodded, still answering in the affirmative.
Jiang Xiaofan pondered, and Xiao Baize answered in the affirmative twice, which meant that the old man's words were indeed true and not lies.
He thought for a moment and felt something in his heart.
"You said, there were three of us back then?"
he asked.
"yes."
The old man nodded.
A cold light suddenly flashed in Jiang Xiaofan's eyes. The three of them were the three founders of the Shinto Alliance
"They're up to something."
The old man said.
Jiang Xiaofan looked at the old man and said, "What do you know?"
"If you agree to the deal, I can tell you."
The old man said.
Jiang Xiaofan stared at the old man: "I am a human being, do you just believe in me?"
"I don't believe you, but I believe in the emperor. The character of the person chosen by the Supreme Emperor will definitely be correct."
The old man said frankly.
Jiang Xiaofan nodded. He could agree with what he said.
"Last point, can the people of your clan control themselves after breaking the seal? If they continue to do what they did just now and slaughter them at will after they get out, I can't agree to it."
Jiang Xiaofan said.
"Don't worry, I will give you the token of the leader of my Dark Beast clan, and they will listen to you. Being trapped in the darkness for a long time, and being forced to surrender by the enemy all the time, we have had enough of this kind of life. After we go out, we only want revenge. "
The old man said.
Jiang Xiaofan was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "Okay, I agree."
revenge.
Object, Shinto Alliance.
This was something he was happy to see.
"Thank you!"
The old man said sincerely.
After receiving Jiang Xiaofan's affirmative answer, the old man also showed a surprised expression, and the pairs of blood-colored eyes around him were also a little excited. They had been listening to the conversation between the two, and naturally they could understand the conversation between the two.
"Then, tell me first what you know."
Jiang Xiaofan asked.
This old man should know a lot about this ancient road world, and he should also know a lot about the Shinto League.
The old man nodded, closed his eyes slightly, and opened them after a while.
"Those three people are planning something big. They want to become gods."
said the old man.
Jiang Xiaofan was startled and his expression changed.
"Become a god?!"
Become a god, what does this mean
The old man sighed and said: "After reaching the Taoist realm, I broke through again and became a god."
"this… "
Jiang Xiaofan was shocked.
Break through to the Taoist realm and turn into a god, a god
"Back then, those three people came to this part of our clan's heaven for the purpose of getting our clan's secret treasure, the Eternal Crystal. I don't know where they got the news, and they believed that the Eternal Crystal was a way to become a god."
The old man said.
"Eternal crystal?"
Jiang Xiaofan was confused.
The old man opened his right hand and a halo of light flashed: "This is it."
"This... your clan's secret treasure?"
Jiang Xiaofan was surprised.
The thing that resonated with him turned out to be the inherited secret treasure of the other family.
"yes."
The old man nodded.
"Our clan is indeed very powerful, but its lifespan is very limited. No matter whether it is powerful or not, the longest lifespan will not exceed a million years. In this long history, our clan has given birth to kings one after another. They are at their peak. At that time, their cultivation was at the peak of the Taoist Realm, but they could not escape the fate of exhaustion of life span, and in the end, they all died."
"After the death of a king, there will naturally be a burial place. Over the endless years, the dead kings have been buried in the same cemetery by our people. Over time, this halo has condensed in the cemetery. It has changed from the initial dimness to It is strong and full of hope, so our clan named it Eternal Crystal, hoping to gain eternal life, just like you humans, after reaching a certain level of cultivation, under normal circumstances, you will never die."
"After the birth of the Eternal Crystal, the years are still passing by. After that, our clan is still the same as before. A new king will be born every million years, and their cultivation is in the Taoist realm. Unfortunately, death is always unavoidable, and this The eternal crystal is getting stronger and stronger in that cemetery. Although it is bright, it is useless."
"The eternity our clan longs for is just a bubble. This eternal crystal has been comprehended by our clan for endless years. Whether we get close to it to comprehend it or directly refine it, we have never achieved the slightest effect. For it , our clan couldn’t understand it, and couldn’t refine it. In the end, it brought disaster to our clan.”
The old man sighed.
His words were full of loneliness and self-deprecation.
Jiang Xiaofan looked at the halo in the old man's hand and was really shocked.
Putting aside what this halo was, he was shocked by the strength of this clan. A powerful Taoist god is born every million years? God, in such a long time, how many gods have come out of this clan!
This is simply the strongest clan in the world!
If it weren't for their limited lifespan, this clan could rule three thousand worlds.
"Now, it's yours."
The old man handed the halo to Jiang Xiaofan.
"this… "
Jiang Xiaofan hesitated.
It doesn't seem good to take away another family's inherited secret treasure like this.
"Don't mind." As if he saw what he was thinking, the old man shook his head and said: "Although this thing is a symbol for our clan, this symbol is really of no use. Now, if losing it can make our clan To regain freedom, then it at least has some symbolic meaning."
"The most important thing is that if the Supreme Emperor stays by your side, you will be different from other humans. If it were you, you would definitely not humiliate it." He looked at Jiang Xiaofan, his eyes became a little deeper, and said seriously : "Besides, I have an intuition that you might be able to make it shine!"
