After entering the north, they chose the farthest route from the Qi family's base. They were not afraid of the Qi family, but did not want to encounter the Qi family, causing unnecessary trouble.

However, the north is cold all year round, with large areas of steep and barren land, and cities, which have been screened for tens of millions of years and are most suitable for human habitation. Therefore, the route from the junction of China and North China to the Qi family station has the best climate and the best road to take, while other places are mostly poor mountains, bad water, turbid air and frozen soil. This is the road they took this time.

It was autumn, and it was not so cold, and a thin jacket was enough, but they accidentally entered a place full of turbid air. The gray air not only had low visibility, but also made people breathe and had dizziness and swelling. Most people had mild symptoms of poisoning.

"How long will it take to get out of this area?" Sesi lies on Yinchuan and said wilfully.

Yinchuan said: "It is difficult to distinguish the direction in the turbid air. If we are not wrong, we will soon pass a lake and dissipate when we reach the lakeside.

"After crossing the lake, how far is it from Zhongshan?"

"There are more than three thousand miles."

"It's so far..." Jiang Chaoge sighed.

They walked from sunlight to near dusk, and Yinchuan suddenly stopped and said "Huh".

Zhixuan said: "What's wrong?"

Yinchuan lowered his head and brushed the ground with his claws: "Is this... Meijiang?"

"Mijiang?"

"It's the lake I mentioned." Yinchuan said, "it actually frozen."

Everyone looked down at their feet. The air was turbid and the Yinchuan was high above the ground. They could only see the gray mist surrounding the feet of Yinchuan.

Yinchuan took a deep breath and blew it out hard on the ground. The mist and the thin snow on the ground were blown away at the same time, and large pieces of ice crystals appeared on the ground.

"It's really a lake."

Yinchuan couldn't believe it: "For thousands of years, Meijiang has encountered extreme cold but not freezing. Now it is only autumn. How can it freeze?"

Zhixuan said: "Maybe only frozen one piece, walk forward. I feel that the turbid air here is not as strong as when I came."

"Indeed, the turbid air should have disappeared when it reaches Meijiang." Yinchuan continued to move forward, and the turbid air became thinner and thinner.

Yinchuan's wings unconsciously blew up a thin piece of snow and turbid air. Jiang Chaoge happened to look at the ice and suddenly saw a ferocious human face under the ice!

Jiang Chaoge sat upright in shock. The man's face was wide open with his eyes and mouth, his face was preserved intact. He didn't know what he had experienced during his lifetime, and his eyes were filled with endless fear and despair.

Zhixuan said: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Chaoge calmed down his frightened heart: "There are people under the ice."

Yinchuan quickly brushed away the snow with his claws, and suddenly, frozen corpses appeared in front of everyone, including those with strange beasts.

Yinchuan ran forward a few steps, and the turbid air almost dissipated. The whole picture of Meijiang was presented to him. It was a huge lake that could not be seen at first sight. The ice layer was as white as the purest crystal. Because of this, something was clearly visible under the ice layer. Now, they have seen countless corpses that stretched for several kilometers...

Yunxi shook: "Why..."

Zhixuan said: "These people are wearing the clothes of heavenly soldiers."

"Celestial Soldier?"

Yinchuan nodded and said in a deep voice: "It was the heavenly soldier who attacked us back then. For some reason, he was buried in this Jingjiang River. Maybe he was killed by Zhuoyan."

Zhixuan snorted: "I deserve it. Even though I know I am not our opponent, I still have to come down to die in batches."

Yinchuan sighed: "The heavenly soldiers are also helpless."

"Then the witch ancestor is involuntarily?" Zhi Xuan said loudly, "I can't help killing you?! They became the lackeys of the gods and were traitors of strange beasts!"

Yinchuan looked down at the heavenly soldiers and shook his head slowly: "It's not that."

Zhixuan said angrily: "What does 'not so' mean? You are killed by those traitors, and you still have to quibble for them?"

Yinchuan turned his head and looked at Zhixuan with his blue eyes: "Zhixuan, the relationship between us and the witch ancestor is not just about killing and being killed."

"What else?"

"We are spiritual beasts bred by heaven and earth, and the witch ancestor is the same as us."

"So they are traitors!"

"Have you ever wondered why they changed from alien beasts to gods?"

"Either they are weak and incompetent, surrender to the gods, or they are greedy for the pleasures of the heavenly palace."

"No." Yinchuan shook his head again, "I once asked Di Jiang. He didn't remember how he became a god. All the witch ancestors didn't know that they were judged based on their true bodies. After all, their true bodies are mostly hideous and ugly beast-shaped, which is completely different from all gods."

Zhixuan frowned and said, "What does this mean?"

"It means that they have lost a long memory, as a strange beast."

Jiang Chaoge said: "Can you live too long..." After he finished speaking, he felt that this reason was untenable. No matter how long his life span, how could the twelve witch ancestors collectively lose their memory and cannot remember it at all.

"Their memory must be something happened. No one knows when they were born and when they became gods. They want to find the memory they lost, but they don't know where to start."

"Is this what Di Jiang told you?" Zhi Xuan said coldly, "What if he lied to you?"

Yinchuan was silent for a moment: "He won't lie to me."

"I don't believe that even if they really lose their memory and see their true body, they should know that they are strange beasts, and why should they continue to be loyal to the Jade Emperor!"

"If they have been loyal to the Jade Emperor since they have memories, they will think they should be loyal to the Jade Emperor."

"Yinchuan, what do you want to say!" Zhixuan was furious.

Yinchuan sighed: "It was Lieyu who lost the soul of spiritual wisdom and lacked memory that reminded me of the past."

"When you think of the past, you just keep quibbling for those traitors?"

"I'm not quibbling..."

"You are just a quibbling!" Zhixuan was furious, "You have a good relationship with Di Jiang, and you don't care even if he kills him, and you often make excuses for him. But I will not be as stupid as you. If one day I see Gonggong reincarnation, I will definitely tear him to pieces, let him die both body and spirit, and never be reborn!"

Yinchuan wanted to speak but stopped, but in the end he just sighed lightly.

Zhixuan snorted heavily, his face extremely ugly.

Jiang Chaoge held his hand, stroked his palms with his fingertips, and comforted him silently.

Zhixuan covered his other hand and tightened it gently.

Yinchuan stopped talking and walked forward. Everyone looked at the frozen corpse under their feet and was speechless.

After sunset, they camped for a rest. Jiang Chaoge looked at the side sitting quietly and drank the river, rubbed the hot water cup, hesitated for a moment, and stood up.

Zhixuan grabbed the hem of his clothes and looked up at him.

Jiang Chaoge said: "I have some questions to ask Yinchuan."

Zhixuan frowned, thought for a while, and let go of his hand: "Go."

Jiang Chaoge walked to Yinchuan and sat down.

Yinchuan glanced at him lightly.

"Mr. Yinchuan, I have some questions after thinking about what you said today."

"Please say it."

"Since the predecessor of the Witch Ancestor was also a strange beast, then they should also have the spirit of spiritual wisdom. Will it also be related to the spirit of spiritual wisdom if they lose a memory?"

"I have thought about this possibility, but they are not soul beasts, but living."

Jiang Chaoge nodded, "If anyone has the ability to wash away their memories, it is probably the gods. Why should the gods do this? Control them? If they can control them, why should they kill you instead of turning you into the witch ancestors?"

"I can't figure this out either." Yinchuan pondered, "Chao Ge, have you ever thought about what a strange beast is?"

Jiang Chaoge was slightly stunned: "This... If this is what I say in my world, a strange beast is a kind of creature, a human being, a pig or a dog is a creature. There are tens of millions of creatures in the world, and a strange beast is just a kind of creature."

"Does there be immortal creatures in your world?"

Jiang Chaoge shook his head: "The immortal creatures only exist in legends."

"You have said that the gods and strange beasts in this world are all myths and legends of your world. You have ancient books, but no one believes that these are true and think that they were fabricated by the ancients."

Jiang Chaoge nodded and said, "That's right, until I came to this world, I realized that those legends were once true, but why did the gods and strange beasts completely disappear in my world? I discussed with Yunxi that this world is so similar to my world, just like a world divided into two, one world has strange beasts, and one world does not, and evolved differently from then on."

"The ancient books of your world clearly record us, which means that these two worlds must have separated after we appeared."

"Yes, but when and why did two worlds separate?" Jiang Chaoge shook his head slowly, "There are too many unsolved mysteries."

"There are no immortal beasts in your world, which means that there can be no strange beasts in a world. I have spent thousands of years thinking about what strange beasts are and what I am. I think, according to your words, ordinary strange beasts may be creatures, but we may not necessarily. If ordinary strange beasts have practiced to a certain level, if they are not killed, they will either die in the tribulation or ascend. There are very few such strange beasts, only us, who have lived for ten thousand years, are far stronger than many gods, but they never need to go through tribulation and will not ascend. Since I have memories, they have powerful power and eternal lifespan."

Jiang Chaoge thought for a moment: "Master Yinchuan, have you ever been a child?"

Yinchuan's pure white feathered eyelashes trembled: "No, at least I don't have the memory of my childhood, and I believe others don't. I said Dijiang and others have lost their memories, but we are not the same. I dare not remind Zhixuan because... If I think too deeply, it would be terrible. From the beginning of memory, I was like this. I don't know where I came from. Many strange beasts think that it's too long and they have forgotten it. They may forget it, but I won't. I never forget anything. Unless our memories are passive, we will appear in this world for no reason, but what power can create so many powerful creatures at once."

Jiang Chaoge took a deep breath, feeling that his brain power was finally unable to keep up. This question was too complicated. The little Qilin that Zhixuan had always wanted him to give birth to was probably not to see his whole picture, nor did he need to pass on his family line. He was probably subconsciously trying to recall his original memory, but he didn't even realize it.

Yinchuan said: "The ancient books in your world can be recorded that the Jade Emperor will survive the tribulation every 129,600 years?"

Jiang Chaoge nodded: "It has been recorded that the number of heaven and earth is one yuan for 129,600 years old. Every time one yuan is passed, the Jade Emperor will pass the tribulation once."

"One Yuan is divided into twelve meetings, namely Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai, each meeting is 18,000 years. Every time one Yuan, the world is about to be destroyed and reborn again, and it begins over and over again. The one Yuan of heaven and earth coincides with the Jade Emperor's tribulation time. Have you ever thought about why?"

Jiang Chaoge frowned: "There must be a connection between the two, but what is the connection? I..." Jiang Chaoge always felt that some thoughts were about to come out, but he didn't know how to organize the language for a while.

"The Jade Emperor has experienced countless tribulations, and his life span is calculated in billions, which may be the same age as this world. Every time he experienced the tribulations, the world will be cleaned at the same time, and the pattern of the world will change greatly. What existed in the previous yuan may disappear, and new things will appear, one yuan after another, and it will continue over and over again. So is it the Jade Emperor or the Heaven and Earth tribulations? Can it be said that the Jade Emperor is this world, and this world is the Jade Emperor?"

Jiang Chaoge was dumbfounded. His brain was a little knotted for a moment. He thought for a long time and didn't know what to say.
