Lu Yuan paused, then spoke slowly, saying the words that a woman least wanted to hear.
"You are the lord of righteousness - upright to heaven!"
The woman's shaking head stopped in a daze, and two lines of clear tears fell from the woman's eyes.
Sounds of crying resounded in the Heavenly Demon Lord Tower.
The little girl stood next to Lu Yuan and tilted her head, as if she didn't understand why the woman started crying.
Lu Yuan lowered his eyes lightly, and his eyes were dark and unclear, and his emotions could not be seen clearly.
Three hundred thousand years ago, too many things happened.
Many of them are no longer known.
At that time, it was said that the entire Yuanhong Continent raised its flag just to kill the monster.
However, no one knows why countless sects were completely destroyed during this struggle, and even those individuals who were far away from the battlefield were killed.
No one knows why all the righteous people who led the way were wiped out and no one survived.
Now, Lu Yuan looked at Zheng Qingtian in front of him, who had no trace of the "righteous way" in his eyes, and he had some understanding of what happened three hundred thousand years ago.
However, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Lu Yuan knew that the battle that could consume most of the spiritual energy of the entire Yuanhong Continent was not only for the destruction of the "righteous way".
The "right way" is just one part of it.
In other words, it was just incidental.
What exactly happened behind it, he couldn't guess now.
Lu Yuan also had some realization now. When he asked the system to explore Zheng Qingtian, the system said that it had touched upon the affairs of heaven.
Although the world today is 300,000 years after that battle, the entire world has actually not changed at all on a certain level since that battle.
For example, the Lu family, sitting on the throne of the first family in Xuhai in the north, has not wavered at all. Another example is the Empress of Xuanzhong. After the war, the land of Xuanzhong belongs to their family.
Floating clouds and gray dogs, maybe everything is changing.
Age, face, character, everything is changing.
But the group of people who stand at the top of the mainland have never changed...
The world today is still an extension of what happened after the war 300,000 years ago.
The reason why the Lu family is so powerful is because the Lu family was the beneficiary of that battle, or in other words, the planners of that battle.
The great war 300,000 years ago is the secret of heaven.
Zheng Qingtian was one of those who experienced changes that year, and was even a very important part.
After all, back then, this person's existence was the reason why many people in the mainland would raise their swords. What she carried on her shoulders was the fate of hundreds of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, or millions of people.
She... is also a part of this heaven!
After a long time, Zheng Qingtian was still sitting on her knees in a daze. Lu Yuan's eyes were light and he was not ready to rush her.
Time passed slower in his consciousness than outside. Lu Yuan even took out some pastries and shared some with the little girl.
Because the waiting time was too long, Lu Yuan even named the little girl "Nineteen".
Without him, today’s date would be the 19th.
I don't know how much time passed, but Lu Yuan even took a nap on the Grand Master's chair.
Suddenly, Zheng Qingtian suppressed all his emotions and finally said, "Yes, I am Zheng Qingtian."
Lu Yuan opened his eyes, but he didn't have any energy at all.
Say, "Tell me everything you know."
Zheng Qingtian said a lot, all about the war 300,000 years ago, which was very similar to what Lu Yuan had guessed.
Many forces rose up for profit, and in the war, they drove out their righteous people and killed them all.
And after she saw all her disciples being killed by her former brothers and sisters, her heart also died.
Anger, disbelief, hatred...
Many emotions were surging in her heart, and at this time, a ray of black energy was also growing in her heart.
She is Qingtian, a person born with a "righteous heart", a person destined to stand opposite the monster.
In full view...possessed...
She killed many people, some of whom had exchanged greetings with her, some who had sworn to follow her, or some who had raised their hands to greet her.
She didn't know how long she had been killing, but she only knew that in the end, the holy sword in her hand was chopped off.
The Demon Lord took her away and sealed her in the Tower of the Demon Lord.
After that, she was locked in the tower and never left again.
In the blink of an eye, an unknown number of years passed. She was possessed by the devil and was nourished by the Heavenly Demon Tower. She could not die at all.
After waiting for countless years, she waited for Lu Yuan.
A man who looks like he is only seventeen years old, but is very calm and fierce.
The first moment Zheng Qingtian saw Lu Yuan, she knew that this boy had the blood of the devil. If she could seize him, she would be able to escape, and she would be able to see the light of day again!
The passage of time has long since buried everything in her past. Even she herself has forgotten who she is and what she has done. Her only thought is that she left the Heavenly Demon Tower that has never seen the light of day...
...
Lu Yuan listened to what Zheng Qingtian said, nodded, and then continued to ask: "Then do you know who she is? Why is she sealed here with you?"
The "she" in Lu Yuan's mouth was naturally "nineteen".
Zheng Qingtian raised his eyes, glanced at Nineteen, and then said, "She is just the object of the peace between the Demon Lord and a human woman."
The voice was light but somewhat sarcastic, as if he looked down on Nineteen.
Zheng Qingtian continued: "The Demon Lord is a demon after all, and humans and demons have different paths. The thing that the two of them made peace with is naturally very special. This little girl is the body of the ultimate demon, and is the best descendant of the Demon Lord, but she...
A human heart was born.”
"Unlike a monster, this little girl can cry, make trouble, be sympathetic, and have a kind heart."
"How could the Demon Lord tolerate having such a child? But he was unwilling to kill the demon body, so he trapped it here and used it as a demon puppet."
Lu Yuan looked at Nineteen, who still had his head tilted, with a bit of confusion in his eyes, as if he didn't understand what the two people in front of him were talking about.
"Lu Yuan..."
Zheng Qingtian suddenly said, "Can I ask you something?"
Lu Yuan turned his head, lowered his eyes, and slowly uttered one word, "Say."
"kill me......"
Zheng Qingtian closed his eyes, "Although I am possessed by a demon, you have also sensed that the spirit of righteousness still exists in me. I cannot be completely loyal to you, so why not kill me."
"Whether you let that girl kill me or you treat me as your nourishment, as long as you kill me, it doesn't matter."
Zheng Qingtian's voice was very soft, as if he no longer cared about this world.
Any attachment.
Lu Yuan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. The entire Tianmo Tower fell into silence, and you could hear a needle drop.
After a long while, Lu Yuan raised his eyes, his expression fell on Zheng Qingtian, and he suddenly smiled, "Want to die? It's not that easy!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan stood up, told Nineteen to keep an eye on Zheng Qingtian, and left the Heavenly Demon Tower.
The door of Tianmozun Tower continued to be closed tightly after Lu Yuan left. Zheng Qingtian, who was kneeling on the ground, was filled with emotions in his heart.
All the past events still eroded her heart, and countless emotions suddenly arose, seeming to swallow her up.
On the side, Nineteen stood, obeying Lu Yuan's instructions, staring intently at Zheng Qingtian, his eyes not even blinking.
Lu Yuan returned to reality. He was still sitting cross-legged. After opening his eyes, he stood up and poured himself tea.
I was also thinking about what happened just now.
He originally wanted to swallow Zheng Qingtian as food. After all, he was an unfamiliar dog.
However, now he has changed his mind.
He wanted to keep Zheng Qingtian alive, and even let her have the spirit of righteousness!
In the eyes of others, although Zheng Qingtian's experience is very sympathetic, it is of no use.
What use can a righteous person who is not recognized by the world and a righteous person who has become possessed by demons be of use? He is still immature and cannot fight for himself.
But in Lu Yuan's view, Zheng Qingtian is a sharp sword.
A sharp sword that can stir up the whole world!
In Yuanhong Continent, the devil is the evil way, and the opposite is the right way!
But those who are recognized by Heaven as the "right path" are those who have a "right heart" and stand in the world.
And such people are pushed step by step into the abyss by those who claim to be "just" all day long.
If all of this is laid out, it will completely tear away the fig leaf that has held the entire world together. What will happen to the entire world then?!
He, Lu Yuan, has the blood of a demon species, so he is not tolerated by the world, but they cannot tolerate people who are on the "righteous path" either.
They no longer have a pole that can wave the world's flag, and they no longer have any justice and right path to follow.
Then the world... will be in chaos...
Lu Yuan played with the tea cup in his hand, and the coolness in his eyes gradually grew. He was a little curious.
Why did that war begin? And why did it end?
Not long after, Lu Yuan put down the tea cup, walked towards the bed, and fell asleep.
He couldn't think of these things for the time being, so he might as well get the things in front of him done first!
In the early morning of the next day, Lu Yuan got up, washed himself, and walked towards Disciple Peak.
Along the way, many people looked at him sideways, somewhat appraisingly.
Lu Yuan had long been accustomed to this kind of gaze, and he never stopped all the way to the top of the Disciple Peak.
A large hall stands at the top of the mountain. There are many people coming and going. Most of them carry books and talismans and send them in and out.
Disciple Peak handles the affairs of each peak, and is under the supervision of the vice-president.
Lu Yuan was about to step into it when a voice suddenly came from the side, "Holy Son, stay!"
Lu Yuan turned around and saw a fat man in brocade clothes walking over. Although he was huge, he was very nimble.
He knew this person. He was one of the disciples who went to Tiandang Mountain with Ling Yun to recruit students. He was a disciple of the Sword Sect, and his name was Wu Liang.
