After a long journey, Li Qiye walked forward and finally stepped into Shiyuan.
Shiyuan, this is not a place name, but a general reference to a territory. It can be said that Shiyuan is an extremely vast territory. Some people say that the entire Shiyuan occupies one-third of the land of Beixihuang.
The Shiyuan is very vast. In the entire vast Shiyuan, the most common things you can see are the giant peaks of strange rocks, and these giant peaks are often made of huge rocks.
On the stone plain, you may be able to see a giant peak standing on the plains. However, if you can peel off the soil and plants from the mountain, then you will find that this is not a mountain peak, but an extremely huge one.
The rock stands there.
It's just that over time, after countless winds and suns, a lot of soil has settled, and many flowers, plants and trees have grown on it, making people think it is just a mountain peak.
It is such a huge stone peak, but there is another possibility. Another possibility is that it itself is a person!
That's right, a stone peak itself may be a person. At least a long time ago, it may have been a person, a stone human tribe!
After such a stone man becomes such a huge mountain, it may completely turn into a rock, but it may still be alive. A stone man only lives in the state of a rock.
Moreover, if there is really such a huge rock mountain peak, then it would be a bit scary if its true form is a stone man. That means that before he turned into a stone peak, he was a very powerful person.
A very terrifying existence.
Such a thing may sound scary to people who have not experienced it, but in fact, those who know the Stone People know that this is the return of the Stone People to their ancestors, and this is also the Stone People's ultimate pursuit.
There are various legends and records about the Stonemen. However, it has been so long ago that many records have disappeared in the mist. Many stories have become legends, and there is no way to verify whether they are true or false.
Some records believe that before those distant years, during the legendary Nine Realms Era, the Stonemen were not what they are today.
In those distant records, the stone people may have some petrified characteristics when they were born, but they are flesh and blood, and they can even become flesh and blood like the human race.
Rumor has it that in that distant era, the Stonemen could also return to their ancestors, but the return to their ancestors in that era was completely different from the Stonemen's return to their ancestors today.
Rumor has it that in that distant era, the stone human race's reversion to its ancestors was only a body turned into stone or jade, but he was still a living person, and to a certain extent, he was still a life of flesh and blood.
However, today, the stone people's return to their ancestors has completely turned into rocks. It is possible that they will eventually sink into the ground and disappear. As for the final place of the stone people's return to their ancestors, there is no specific answer.
.
In addition to atavism, the stone people also have another condition, which is semi-atavism.
Semi-atavistic is a very wonderful existence. Of course, semi-atavistic is more demanding than atavistic. Not everyone can achieve semi-atavistic.
It is said that when a stone man reaches a certain level and becomes powerful to a certain extent, he has the opportunity to become a semi-atavistic ancestor.
Semi-atavistic refers to the ability to petrify oneself and become a rock, or a stone sculpture, or even a stone mountain, but one day, it can wake up and become alive again.
This is the most magical and wonderful semi-atavistic form of the Stone People. Many people want to know how this semi-atavistic form was achieved. Many races are very interested in the Stone People’s semi-atavistic form.
Everyone knows that no matter how powerful you are, you will die one day. Even if you try your best to cover yourself up and bury yourself, there will be a day when you cannot escape death.
Moreover, for any powerful existence to seal itself away, it will cost a lot, and it will require an amazing amount of materials to support it. The more powerful it is, the greater the materials it consumes, and the greater the cost.
However, the semi-atavistic ancestors of the Stoneman tribe can extend their lifespan indefinitely, and they will be able to wake up one day.
Some people even wonder whether the semi-atavistic ancestors of the Stoneman tribe can become immortal.
Of course, the answer is no. If you can truly live forever, or if you can only completely return to your ancestors and truly become a rock, maybe you can truly live forever.
As for whether atavism and semi-atavism can lead to immortality, to a certain extent, the answer was given by the Stone Ancestor of the Stoneman Clan.
Shi Zu once said, who can truly live forever? To live forever, you must first live, and then die.
Returning to one's ancestors is nothing more than returning to one's origin. It allows the stone people to seek a better destination.
It is precisely because of Shizu's words that many people in later generations have given up returning to their ancestors. Just as Shizu said, to live forever, you must first have life and then death.
It has become a rock, a lifeless rock. Even if you live forever, what's the use?
It is precisely because of this that for millions of years, many people in the Stoneman tribe have been unwilling to return to their ancestors. They would rather keep their flesh and blood and let themselves slowly grow old and die, experiencing all kinds of things in the world.
For them, as long as they have experienced everything from birth to death, even if they die in the end, there is nothing unworthy.
Of course, over millions of years, many Stonemen have embarked on the path of returning to their ancestors. This may be driven by instinct, or it may be a mission to find their roots. Over millions of years, more and more people have begun to return to their ancestors.
Many people embarked on the road to return to their ancestors, and eventually became a rock, sank into the ground, and disappeared.
The return to the ancestors of the Stone People has to be mentioned by one person - Stone Ancestor!
Shi Zu, a person who completely changed the destiny of the Stone People, a person who completely changed the existence of the Stone People, he was a person who made the Stone People completely different from the Stone People in the Nine Realms Era.
The origin of Shizu is very mysterious. No one knows where he was born, and no one knows where he practiced. Everyone only knows that Shizu was a man who quickly became a Taoist. It can be said that in the Eight Desolations Era,
, Shizu is definitely an amazing person.
The reversion of the Stone People to their ancestors was initiated by the Stone Ancestor, and it was also the trend started by him that changed the fate of the entire Stone People.
In the middle of the chaos, Shi Zu was born and became an extremely stunning Dao Lord. His stunner was no less stunning than the peerless Dao Lord Jueyang, the Space Dragon Emperor, and Cang Ancestor!
His appearance changed the Stonemen tribe from then on. After he became the Dao Lord, countless people of the Stonemen tribe followed him and learned from him.
You know, in the middle of the Desolation, the Eight Desolations were in chaos, all life was in ruins, and countless mortal monks died.
The Stone Ancestor came out of the sky to protect the eight wastelands, especially laying the foundation for the Stone People to live and work in peace and contentment. It is precisely because of this that that era can be said to be the most prosperous era for the Stone People.
When hundreds of tribes in the Eight Wastes were struggling for life and death, the Stone Human Race, under the leadership of Shi Zu, lived and worked in peace and contentment, and prospered. From that time on, countless members of the Stone Human Race began to imitate Shi Zu and embark on the journey of returning to their ancestors.
Or a semi-atavistic path.
From that time on, the future destiny of the Stone People was completely established, as well as the future direction of the Stone People. Since the Stone Ancestor, many people in the Stone People have embarked on the path of returning to their ancestors or semi-returning to their ancestors.
As a result, in the years to come, the Stone People began to become silent, and fewer and fewer pure Stone People were seen in the world, which caused the Stone People to slowly change.
The origin of Shizu is very mysterious. No one knows where he comes from, and no one knows his origin. It can even be said that everyone only knows that he is from the Stoneman tribe. Other than that, what everyone knows about him is
Very few.
However, Shizu has a hobby, he likes to drink chicken soup. The strangest thing is that Shizu calls himself "Zhou Black Duck"!
Therefore, there is a rumor in Bahuang that Zhou Heiya, who loves to drink chicken soup, is Shi Zu!
However, in later generations, especially when the Stone People were prosperous and prosperous, except for Shizu, who called himself "Zhou Hei Ya", no one else dared to call him "Zhou Hei Ya".
Moreover, in later generations, everyone knew that his name was Shi Zu, and the name "Zhou Hei Ya" was gradually forgotten by people.
In later generations, some people did research. They believed that Shizu was not called Zhou Heiya at all. He was just making fun of himself. As for where Zhou Heiya's self-deprecation came from, no one knows.
What no one knows even more is what Shizu’s name is and his origins. This is one of the biggest mysteries in Bahuang for thousands of years.
"Zhou Hei Ya——" Of course, when Li Qiye stepped into Shiyuan, he couldn't help but smile and read the name.
At this time, Li Qiye stood on a mountain peak, overlooking the vast stone plains and the towering mountains and rivers, feeling the breath and rhythm of this world.
"Shi Zu——" Li Qiye finally showed a smile and couldn't help but sigh, saying: "This guy is indeed amazing, and he does have the means! He is a stickler for his own race through and through!"
Shi Zu, Zhou Hei Ya who loves to drink chicken soup, no one in the world knows his origin, everything about him is like a huge mystery.
However, Li Qiye knew the roots of Shizu's feet, and the secret behind this could not escape Li Qiye's eyes.
"The sea has changed." Li Qiye looked at this vast world and couldn't help but sigh, and said: "Even if you make the entire race return to its ancestors, it will be difficult to change anything in the end. Maybe this is also a good strategy. If it can't save the world, then
No matter how bad it is, you can survive on your own!"
In the end, Li Qiye couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
