He Ruju was silent for a moment and said, "I left these relics here to serve as a warning to those who come after me."
Fang Yu looked at the translucent shadow in front of him, squinted his eyes, and said nothing.
"The era I live in, even if it is not the era of the peak of the human race, is not weak... In short, the human race at that time was still the leader of all races. There are indeed alien races in the world, but their numbers are extremely rare, and no alien race has ever dared to confront them.
The human race launched an attack." He Ruju said slowly, "In that era, monks were all running on the road to becoming immortals, while mortals... were pursuing wealth. Everything was normal and natural, and no one noticed the coming terror."
"Until the first alien invasion, no one took it seriously. Because... that invasion was easily resolved. For a long time after that, no other aliens showed up, and they were regarded as an exception."
"But no one thought that this alien invasion was just the beginning. In the next ten years... the number of aliens increased suddenly, and they emerged one after another... until the human race was unable to resist."
"How many years did this process take?" Fang Yu asked with a frown.
"You're asking... when did the first alien invasion reach the point where the human race couldn't resist?" He Ruju asked rhetorically.
"Yes." Fang Yu nodded.
"As I said just now, it is exactly ten years." He Ruju replied, "In ten years, a large number of alien races have emerged. Various powerful sects, major organizations, and even strong men among casual cultivators in the human race...
They were invaded by aliens, some of them survived, but most of them were wiped out by the aliens."
"You said that alien races were very rare in that era, so why did a large number of alien races emerge within ten years? Where did they come from?" Fang Yu asked with a frown.
"This question is also my doubt...but there is no answer." He Ruju said, "I can only tell you what I have experienced personally."
"That is, it only took ten years for the alien race to go from being rare to overwhelming the human race."
"I think you need to be wary of...this is exactly what I think."
"You mean, alien races have always existed, but they are just waiting for a certain opportunity to appear together?" Fang Yu asked.
"Yes." He Ruju replied.
"But what's the use of being vigilant? According to you, those monks who ascended back then were all trying to escape... Could it be that vigilance is enough to counteract this?" Fang Yu raised his eyebrows and said.
"In your era, something like this may not necessarily happen." He Ruju said, "I left this will just to tell the story of the drastic changes I experienced in the human race."
"And the fact that I can see you now means that the human race has overcome that crisis."
"In addition, since the human race has survived, it must be stronger now than it was then... there must be more hope against the alien race."
"Strong?" Fang Yu had a strange look on his face.
In He Ruju's era, there were at least many monks who had ascended to immortality.
But in this era, monks in the combined stage are as rare as a rare bird.
In terms of strength and weakness, this era... is much weaker than the era of He Ruju.
However, after hearing what He Ruju said, Fang Yu had another doubt.
"When you ascended, the human race had already reached its most difficult time, right?" Fang Yu asked.
"Yes, the number of humans at that time... was probably reduced by more than 80%." He Ruju replied.
"So, the situation should be getting worse... After your era, the human race should have been wiped out, right? How could it survive to this day?" Fang Yu frowned.
This doubt also arose when Fang Yu heard that the human race had experienced several disasters.
Since the human race has encountered so many devastating disasters in its long history, why does the human race still exist?
Combined with what He Ruju said...it's quite contradictory.
"Since there are still human races now, it means they were not wiped out back then." He Ruju replied.
"But judging from the trend you mentioned, the human race is getting weaker and weaker...how could it not be wiped out in the end?" Fang Yu frowned and said in confusion, "Is it possible that the human race is about to be wiped out?
On this occasion, those aliens suddenly showed great kindness and stopped?"
He Ruju fell silent, obviously unable to answer this question.
In addition to this question, Fang Yu also has another doubt.
The human race has encountered so many unstoppable disasters in history, which obviously has a lot to do with the ascension of monks!
For monks, the end of cultivation is becoming an immortal.
But after becoming an immortal, you must leave the earth.
In other words, the human monks who truly possess decisive power cannot stay on Earth to fight against the so-called disaster.
In this way, it would seem normal for the human race to be wiped out.
Because the strongest group of people...are all gone!
But the concept of ascending to immortality has existed since the beginning of cultivation... Although I don’t know where the theory came from, it has indeed become a conclusion.
In history, I have never heard of anyone being able to stay on earth after becoming an immortal...
Fang Yu shook his head and stopped thinking.
This is not something he can figure out in one Qi refining period.
Going back further will only create more doubts.
"I have no other questions." Fang Yu said.
"I can't answer any more of your questions," He Ruju said.
"In this case...then I will take away your Ruyi Qinglian." Fang Yu said.
He Ruju said nothing.
Fang Yu took it as his acquiescence, walked on the water, walked to the middle of the clear spring, and picked up the green lotus with a faint light.
Holding the green lotus in your hands, you can feel the vast aura contained inside.
This breath gives people a sense of peace of mind.
"Hey, what is the function of this wishful green lotus?" Fang Yu turned his head and asked.
But then, he discovered that He Ruju's translucent body formed by the spring water had disappeared.
Leaving now?
Fang Yu looked at the Ruyi Qinglian held in his right hand and frowned slightly.
"Boom..."
At this time, the surrounding space began to vibrate.
The spring water below rippled and even began to splash.
Fang Yu knew that after receiving the inheritance, this ancient ruins would be closed.
So, he temporarily stuffed Ruyi Qinglian into his pocket, and returned to Ji Rumei's side in a flash.
"You will be able to return to your original world soon, don't panic." Fang Yu said to the pale Ji Rumei.
"Yes." Fang Yu stood beside him, and Ji Rumei immediately calmed down a lot.
"Buzz..."
There was a strange sound.
A spatial vortex appeared at the feet of Fang Yu and Ji Rumei.
The two of them were sucked into the whirlpool together.
…
Baishizhou.
It was already five o'clock in the evening.
There are a large group of lifeguards standing on the beach, and there are several lifeboats on the water.
Ji Xiaoqian sat by the beach, her eyes red and swollen from crying, looking at the empty sea in front of her in a daze.
It has been two hours since Ji Rumei disappeared at sea.
I haven't found it yet, I'm afraid...
Ji Xiaoqian hopes she is having a nightmare now.
Otherwise, she really doesn't know how to explain to her eldest uncle Ji Dongshan after she goes back, and she won't be able to face anyone in the family.
"Sister, please show up quickly, I beg you..." Ji Xiaoqian clasped her hands together and prayed with tears in her eyes.
…
"Wow..."
Fang Yu and Ji Rumei rushed out of the space tunnel and fell into the sea water.
Ji Rumei choked several more mouthfuls of sea water.
Fang Yu grabbed her right arm and pulled her out of the water.
Ji Rumei wiped the sea water from her face and looked at Fang Yu.
"Many people are looking for you." Fang Yu said while looking at the lights on the beach.
Ji Rumei was stunned for a moment, and then she noticed that the sky had darkened.
How could it be...from the time she entered that space to the time she returned to the seawater...only less than twenty minutes had passed.
"Time flows at different speeds in space." Fang Yu understood Ji Rumei's doubts and explained simply.
Ji Rumei nodded blankly.
Then, her expression changed and she blurted out: "Xiao Qian!"
Fang Yu took Ji Rumei ashore and quickly found Ji Xiaoqian.
Ji Xiaoqian saw Ji Rumei, rubbed her eyes in disbelief, and then hugged Ji Rumei and cried bitterly.
"Sister...where have you gone? I'm scared to death, wuwuwu...I was just thinking that if I couldn't find you, I wouldn't be able to live anymore." Ji Xiaoqian cried loudly.
