There are many things in the world that people only know when they grow up.
Wu Chan is no exception.
He understood the truth about the Tiannu clan after successfully awakening the Ruijin Curse. It seems that the Awakening Ruijin Curse is the qualification to unlock the truth about the Heavenly Maiden clan.
That year, Wu Chan was twelve years old.
The truth about the Tiannv clan is still very cruel to a twelve-year-old boy, even if he is from the Wu family.
Coins have two sides.
There is also human blood.
The Wu family has the strongest bloodline, and their vitality is far more powerful than ordinary people and can fight against the vampires.
Those with the weakest bloodline are the Celestial Maidens. Their vitality reaches its peak at the age of twenty, blooming like an epiphyllum, and then quickly withers away, dying within a year. This process has been described in a beautifying way as the goddess descending to earth for a short stay and then returning to heaven.
However, no matter how weak a being is, he still wants to work hard to survive.
The way the Tiannu clan continues their lives is by conceiving and giving birth to children.
If you can successfully conceive at the age of twenty, you will receive a talisman. After giving birth to a child, the rate of vitality decline slows down, and one can usually live into their forties, almost doubling their life span.
This is a case of giving birth to a girl.
But if you give birth to a boy, your life span can be extended, but only by a few years.
The reason for such a strange phenomenon is the origin of the name of the Tiannu clan - "Tiannu syndrome".
This is a very rare genetic disease.
In addition to shortening the life of the sick person, it can also control the gender and, in a sense, purity of the offspring.
When an ordinary man and woman give birth to a child, the child can be regarded as a scale.
On the left are the characteristics of the father's bloodline.
On the right are the characteristics of the mother's bloodline.
The scale remains balanced, or tilted, but the degree of tilt is not exaggerated. So this child resembles both father and mother.
However.
For a child born to a patient with celestial syndrome, not only will the balance be tilted, but the bloodline of one party will be pressed to the deepest level.
Patients with Tiannu syndrome have the ability to conceive at the age of twenty, when their vitality reaches its peak.
If she encounters a weak person, the bloodline of the person suffering from celestial maiden syndrome will gain the upper hand and she will give birth to a daughter.
If they meet a strong person, the bloodline of a person suffering from celestial maiden syndrome will surrender and give birth to a son.
The daughter will inherit the "Tiannu Syndrome", and there will be no trace of her father's elements in her physical characteristics. The man's presence equals participation.
The son is just the opposite.
He will perfectly inherit all of his father's qualities, pure to a terrifying degree. In this relationship, the goddess clan is like a reproductive tool.
For those who want to continue their bloodline, patients with celestial nymph syndrome are obviously very good "partners".
As a result, patients with celestial syndrome have experienced a very dark period.
The powerful people in the world captured the "goddess" and forced them to reproduce their own offspring. Hunting the "goddess" once became a lucrative business, and the "goddess" even became a hard currency in circulation.
Such an unethical thing will only lead to one result.
People are punished.
The Wu family rescued the victims of Tiannu syndrome and brought them together who had no place to stay. This is the earliest prototype of the "Tiannu Clan" becoming a tribe.
In order to no longer be humiliated, the Tiannv family begged for the protection of the Wu family and lived in the Wu family for a long time.
The Wu family donated the back mountain to the Tiannu clan, which was later built into an exclusive residence called "Flower Land", connected to the Wu family through a long flower corridor.
People outside were very angry at the Wu family's behavior. Some accused the Wu family of keeping humans in captivity, some cursed the Wu family for monopolizing resources, and some people were confused and organized soldiers and horses to attack the door, which really caused a lot of trouble for the Wu family. Until one day, one person in the martial arts family reached the pinnacle of skill, with a pair of domineering fists that no one could beat. From then on, everything became quiet in front of the Wu family.
In Wu Chan's view, the criticism from outsiders is not entirely unreasonable.
In fact, there is indeed a "deal" between the Wu family and the Tiannv family.
There is no free lunch, and there is no free justice.
In order to get the protection of the Wu family, the Tiannu clan will select outstanding Tiannu to continue the pure bloodline for the strong men of the Wu family.
The so-called "excellence" is just a cover in Wu Chan's opinion. According to the characteristics of Tiannu syndrome, the best way to extend life is to find a "weak" person and give birth to a daughter. The Wu family is obviously "strong" and will only allow a natural woman to give birth to a son, extending their lifespan by just a few years. Such an obvious disadvantage is that the Tiannu clan sacrificed a small number of people in exchange for most of the benefits.
The essence of a transaction is that both parties have their own needs.
For the Wu family, the bloodline is so strong that it is difficult to find an equivalent mother among ordinary humans to withstand the powerful energy of the man. Therefore, the Wu family has a long lifespan, but has few offspring. Moreover, the stronger the person, the harder it is to give birth to children. It seems that there is a force in the dark that restricts the total number of strong people and controls the "conservation of the strong".
However, when the Tiannu clan reaches its peak vitality when they are twenty years old, they are just as good as the Wu family.
So the two sides hit it off.
There are rumors outside that the Tiannu clan is a tool for fertility and sexual release in the Wu family.
In fact, even if the Tiannu clan "voluntarily sacrifices themselves", the Wu family still respects them and sets very strict precepts. There are two most important ones:
Article 1: Even if the Wu family wants to reproduce their descendants, they cannot treat the Tiannu family equally, and they must treat them all the same.
Article 2: If you have a relationship with the Celestial Goddess clan, you will not be able to marry for the rest of your life. If you already have a wife, you must abandon your first wife before contacting the Celestial Girl clan.
In order to continue the "power" of the Wu family, the best of the younger generation of the Wu family were destined to marry the Celestial Girl clan, so they were not allowed to marry other women from the beginning.
When the twelve-year-old Wu Chan knew that his mother was not his father's wife, but just a person who assisted his father in giving birth to a child, one can imagine the grief and anger in his heart.
If mother is just a tool.
So what is he himself
Since then, Wu Chan has been unable to accept Wu Mie's father's identity and is full of hatred for him.
The Tiannu clan has also become a scar and a shame in Wu Chan's heart.
The man in front of him was the first outsider to talk to Wu Chan about his mother, and he seemed to know more inside stories that Wu Chan didn't know.
Wu Chan felt that he had been completely led by the other party, but he really wanted to listen.
Wu Chan said: "Even if I die in infancy, Wu Mi will still give birth to a child."
The man sighed: "Do you think your father really wants a child? He doesn't care if there are any descendants. There is only one reason why he wants to have a child, and that is to create a weapon to kill bad luck. A person is killed by thousands of people. Thousands of lives are morally kidnapped and forced to have a child. How do you think he will feel during the process? Will he be happy? "
First of all, Wu Chan cannot understand what it feels like to be morally kidnapped by millions of people.
Secondly, it would be too shameful to ask a son whether his father was happy in making the child!
Just based on these words, Wu Chan wanted to punish this person!
Obviously the man didn't mean to embarrass Wu Chan.
He continued: "It's enough to be forced to have children, and then one of them dies. If it were anyone else, he would have collapsed. Fortunately, your father could hold on. Later, he met your mother. Things began to become different. ”
Wu Chan was stunned: "What do you mean?"
The man said: "This is the first time a goddess is allowed to leave the flower realm and live in the Wu family like a mistress."
