Wu Ming can survive to this day only because he is cautious enough. He occasionally suffers from inexperience and pays an unimaginable heavy price.
In the past, Wu Ming would have been cautious about the so-called ancestral spirits of the demon tribe, but he would not have been as cautious and cautious as he is now. After all, they are dead creatures.
But as you go deeper into the demonic realm and learn more from countless believers, you will become more cautious.
The saints of the human race can achieve the immortality of their holy will, that is, under the circumstances of year-round sacrifices from the same race or in a special place, and combined with their own cultivation, they are also extremely consistent with the way of heaven.
Similarly, the same is true for the strong men of the demon clan, but the conditions are looser and more bloody.
Even if they are not of the same clan, as long as they pay a sufficient price, perform blood sacrifices all year round, and even use the lives of their own clansmen, they can exchange for the protection of a certain ancestor's heroic spirit.
When necessary, you will be helped to defend yourself against powerful enemies, or given a little bit of strength.
There are not many such cases, but there are also quite a few. They basically occur in the lower-level demon tribes. As for the higher-ups, they naturally offer sacrifices to the powerful saints of their own family groups.
Through in-depth understanding and integration of various secrets, Wu Ming discovered a relatively similar place.
That is, whether it is enshrining the Immortal Holy Will or worshiping the heroic spirits of ancestors, it is actually similar to the totem era countless years ago.
In ancient times, all the creatures were omnipresent, and the chaotic creatures had disappeared without a trace. The human race had just appeared, but they were no different than ants. Their status was equal to food, and they were truly at the end of the food chain.
But the human race is worthy of being called the wise race of the primates. Although the body is weak and has no fangs, sharp teeth, fur, muscles and bones to protect it, it can strengthen its body through continuous learning, and gradually masters power.
In the beginning, totems were formed to worship and gain strength.
This era is called the Totem Age, which is the end of ancient times.
At this time, the human race uses the power of totems to form totem patterns on the body surface. With the power of totems, they can climb mountains and ridges and cross rivers. They no longer have to worry about food and never have enough to eat.
Of course, it is borrowed power after all. If this continues, he will never be able to truly step out of the forest and can only survive under the protection of the totem.
People's hearts are unpredictable, or it could be that these totems demand too much and the human race is overwhelmed, or the human race is not satisfied with the status quo and wants to be the master of the country and practice on their own.
Over time, another training system was formed, which was to simulate every move of those powerful creatures and discover the laws among them.
Whether it's a tiger leaping and roaring, or a real dragon breathing, they are all within the scope of observation and learning.
Of course, some of them were pioneers who tried the law and paid a heavy price for this.
But in order for the human race to truly grasp the power, no matter whether the meridians are in chaos, or the body explodes and dies, all kinds of tragic situations cannot scare them or stop them from moving forward.
Countless years have passed, through unremitting efforts, overcoming countless difficulties, and paying a heavy price, the human race has finally figured out a relatively systematic way of cultivation and overcome various dangers of energy entering the body.
This era is called the Age of Gods. Those powerful people who control wind and rain, burn mountains and boil seas are naturally revered as gods.
But precisely because of this, a huge conflict broke out!
A war inevitably broke out between the self-proclaimed gods of the human race and the totems they enshrined. As the war spread far and wide, affecting countless years, it also eliminated the chaff and saved the essence for the human race.
Only in this way can there be a real great era of conferring gods!
As a result, the human race reached its peak, expelled the monsters, established the Chinese state, divided the four seas, and became the lord of the Chinese state.
Unfortunately, no one is satisfied.
As the cultivation environment changes, people no longer need to live the same life as before, and people's minds are also changing again and again.
In particular, the human race has a changeable mind and is good at learning and drawing inferences from one example. After various cultivation systems sprung up, uncontrollable conflicts broke out again.
The conflict between the new system and the old system, just like the conflict between totems and gods, has gradually reached the point of irreconcilability.
Ever since, the war broke out again!
As before, a similar scene happened again, and the new system won.
Because the new system is more in line with people’s hearts!
This era, when a hundred schools of thought contend and a hundred flowers bloom, is called the Sect Era!
"Totems, gods, and sects, what are the past and present? Is it a new era, or is it a continuation of the legacy of the sect era?"
Faced with such a profound question that even the most knowledgeable person could not answer, Wu Ming couldn't help but feel a little confused.
According to his understanding, the sect era had been completely destroyed by the overlapping of the two dynasties.
"Still..."
Wu Ming thought deeply for a long time, and vaguely felt that he had caught something, but it was a little fuzzy, as if there was an invisible barrier blocking it, but he couldn't see it clearly.
This feeling made him very irritable and even depressed.
"call……"
Wu Ming has never been a pushy person, or in other words, he can handle things clearly. He would never embarrass himself about such a big matter. He quickly corrected his mind and let out a deep breath.
He knew that the reason why this happened was not that he was not knowledgeable enough, but that it was too old.
Without the inheritance of inner demons, it would be impossible to figure out what the true meaning and representation of these eras are.
The Chaos Fire that the Silver Snake took away was during the outbreak of the Totem Age and the Gods Age, that is, the end of ancient times and the beginning of antiquity.
But even though he was as powerful as this demon lord who had reigned supreme for eternity, he still did not dare to stay in China. He just took a chance, stole the Chaos Fire, and left in a hurry.
Yes, it was stolen, not robbed!
At least, Silver Snake, who is known as a great being in the history of inner demons, did not bother to whitewash himself and recorded what he saw and heard at that time without any concealment.
Although it was already the end of ancient times, or even the beginning of antiquity, at that time, the influence of the Chaos Demon God still occasionally appeared in China.
And every Chaos Fire Seed actually belongs to the Chaos Demon God.
Even those as strong as a silver-gray snake would not dare to challenge such existences. They are terrifying creatures that can truly control chaos and remain immortal for thousands of years. Whether it is lifespan or strength, they are beyond the limits!
Of course, the Silver Snake does not think there is a big gap between him and the Chaos Demon God, but there is no need for a big conflict.
It cannot be denied that the Silver Gray Snake is equally powerful.
"chaos!"
Wu Ming frowned and clenched his fist slightly, feeling the power surging in his body like a river.
Even though he, as a semi-saint, was confident that he had the power to fight against the pseudo-saints, when he thought about such existences, he still had an uncontrollable feeling of admiration.
It's not that he has never been exposed to things of chaos. The lotus lantern he came into contact with when he first came to China, and the golden crow that later resided in Mo Zangfeng's soul, are all products of chaos.
Both have unfathomable power, surpassing the so-called holy treasures. There is no doubt about this.
The more you understand the history of different eras, the more you can feel how prosperous and exciting that magnificent era was, which makes people's hearts surging.
"Is it a coincidence, or..."
The deepest secret in Wu Ming's heart is that he has been a human being for two lifetimes.
It seems that he never cares, but in fact, he really wants to find out why he is here.
Even if you think about traveling around the world and seeing the beauty of the world, you still have the purpose of finding the origin of your own origin.
After all, it is so bizarre that even a powerful person in the holy realm cannot do such a thing.
Wu Ming yearns for freedom and is never willing to settle down and become someone else's pawn.
Therefore, it is necessary to find out the truth, even if it may lead to conflict with unknown entities!
This is also the fundamental reason why he is so interested in past history, biographies and legends, just because he wants to find clues from them.
But now, by understanding the history of the demon clan and studying the evolution of each clan, Wu Ming discovered an interesting thing.
The power system is similar to the human race and seems to have the same past.
The difference is that the creatures in Demon Star Tianyuan still seem to have not escaped the influence of the power of totem. They are between totem and god, and even have a little shadow of sect.
"One emperor and five kings are too powerful, powerful enough to suppress for eternity. Unless there is a huge turmoil, there is no way to change this isolation!"
Wu Minglue pondered and understood why this situation occurred. "Compared to the huge differences in the individual strength of the demons, the human race is too even and is almost on the same starting line."
In fact, if it weren't for the addition of the human-demon clan, the sect's shadow might not even appear in Demon Star Tianyuan.
The so-called sects are not the three sects and eight families in the wild Gobi, but the prototype of the alliance that emerged in the Demonic Star Abyss, a collection of interests formed for the same interests.
Of course, this also includes those displaced and homeless fugitive slaves!
"And there are barbarians!"
A complex look appeared in Wu Ming's eyes involuntarily.
In his opinion, and even in the eyes of everyone else, these intelligent tribes still lived like wild beasts, living a life of eating blood and farming by slashing and burning. Who would have thought that their ancestors were actually human beings!
In other words, the barbarians also have human blood flowing in their bodies and have the same ancestors.
They are the losers of the totem era, not the offspring of the union of humans and demons as occasionally rumored.
Not to mention how difficult it is for humans and demons to produce children, how can it be possible for hundreds of millions of barbarians to be formed by a few alien bloodlines?
Maybe, but definitely very few!
"Is it the curse of the totem?"
Wu Ming's mind is complicated and difficult to understand.
At his current level of cultivation, especially after absorbing the chaos fire, he combined with the inner demon inheritance to force believers to absorb the power of faith and nourish himself.
Looking across the state, I am afraid no one knows better than him the disadvantages of this kind of cultivation method.
For a cultivator like him, it is not that serious. The most demanding thing is to guard oneself and not fall into the evil path of greed.
In this regard, Wu Ming is more confident than anyone else.
But for believers, they are nothing more than slaves, slaves who impose their beliefs!
Similarly, any cultivation system has its drawbacks, no matter how big or small, which may cause irreparable trauma to individuals.
For the totem tribes in ancient times, when the power of pulling the totem is added to the body, the consequence is that they will be assimilated by alien forces, resulting in the so-called atavism.
The totems that are constantly being worshiped and enshrined were defeated by the human race's "gods". The human race, which lost the power of the totem to suppress and sort out alien species, was naturally alienated!
ps: My grades have dropped completely recently. If I continue like this, I won’t even be ranked at the bottom of the subscription list. This book has reached the real late stage. I hope everyone can read it with the support of the genuine version. At least it won’t be too diarrhea. Only Mu Chen has it.
