Zhuo Wen looked at the old man sitting by the stream fishing, his eyes showed vigilance, and he asked in a deep voice.
The old fisherman smiled slightly and said: "You can call me Hongmeng! I am also the most loyal servant of the Ancient Hongmeng Tree. From the moment the Ancient Hongmeng Tree was born, I was also born!"
"For countless years, I have been taking care of the Ancient Hongmeng Tree. Otherwise, the starry sky fruits of the Ancient Hongmeng Tree would not be able to grow so well!"
"Hongmeng?" Zhuo Wen muttered to himself with his pupils narrowed.
He did not expect that the old fishing man in front of him was actually born together with the ancient Hongmeng tree, so wouldn't this old man be similar to those ancient god kings back then?
That is a truly great existence!
"Senior! You..."
Before Zhuo Wen finished speaking, he was interrupted by Hongmeng: "I know what you want to say. You want me to save the Chaos Starry Sky and the Ancient Stars, and you think that I and the Ancient God King are on the same level.
Yes or no?"
Zhuo Wen was startled, then nodded, feeling quite shocked. It seemed that this old man could still see through his mind.
"I'm just an ordinary old man, but my life span is a bit longer! I can live until now entirely because of the Ancient Hongmeng Tree. I can only interfere with anything inside the Ancient Hongmeng Tree. As for things outside, I can't interfere at all.
!”
Hongmeng glanced at Zhuo Wen lightly and put away the fishing rod. Only then did Zhuo Wen realize that the fishing line at the end of the fishing rod had no hook and was empty.
"So you deliberately released the Demon Infant?" Zhuo Wen said with a gloomy look.
Hongmeng raised his head, looked directly at Zhuo Wen, and said seriously: "It was indeed me who did it!"
"Why?" Zhuo Wen said solemnly.
"This demonic baby was also bred by the Ancient Hongmeng Tree for countless years. The purpose is to bring you, a person recognized by the Ancient Hongmeng Tree, into the long river of time in the space of the Ancient Hongmeng Tree. If you ask me why, I just
It can be said that everything is destined by fate!" Hongmeng said calmly.
Zhuo Wen said excitedly: "Destined? I think this is just an excuse for you. Do you know how many lives will be ruined by your behavior?"
Hongmeng sighed softly: "Of course I
I know, that’s why I appeared in front of you, I won’t fight back, you can kill me immediately, and I can forgive you for this!”
"But you still have a mission. Only you have the opportunity to defeat the Demon King. As for the other two Chosen Sons, they are just a cover to buy you time!"
Zhuo Wen frowned, and he gradually couldn't understand what Hongmeng said.
"I need a reason, a reason that is enough to convince me!" Zhuo Wen said in a deep voice.
Hongmeng looked at Zhuo Wen who had regained his composure, nodded secretly, waved his sleeves, and the wooden house opened automatically.
"Come in and talk!"
Hongmeng smiled slightly and entered the wooden house first, followed closely by Zhuo Wen.
Inside the wooden house, the decoration is quite simple, with only a wooden table, two wooden benches and a rather shabby wooden bed.
"sit down!"
Hongmeng greeted Zhuo Wen, made two cups of tea, and placed them in front of Zhuo Wen and himself.
Zhuo Wen looked deeply at Hongmeng and said calmly: "It's time for you to tell me the reason why you did that!"
Hongmeng took a sip of tea and said in a rather serious tone: "The words you heard just now when you first entered the space of the Ancient Hongmeng Tree actually explained the reason why I did this in a very real way."
"The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more damage; but the way of man is not the same. If there is no loss, there is more than enough to serve. Who can have more than enough to serve the world? Only the Taoist!" Zhuo Wen narrowed his eyes and murmured the words he had just entered into the space.
the words I heard.
"Yes! It's exactly this sentence. The way of heaven and the way of humanity are completely different. The way of humanity can generally refer to countless living beings, including human races, alien races, ancient gods, etc.!"
"Any living being will continue to multiply and multiply. When the number increases, there will be disputes, and they will be constant disputes all year round! If it is a small fight, it is naturally harmless, but once a small fight turns into a terrifying war,
And if this kind of war has broken the original order and balance, what do you think it will be like?"
Hongmeng looked at Zhuo Wen with his sharp eyes and issued a cold question.
Zhuo Wen's pupils shrank and said: "It will become chaotic!"
"Yes! When order and balance are broken, it will fall into chaos, and the original ancient stars were
It’s already this state!”
"The Star Gods divided their respective regions and began to conquer each other. The war lasted for many years! In addition, in order to consolidate their divine power, the four leaders also extended their hands into the chaotic starry sky."
"If the situation continues to develop, countless creatures in the chaotic starry sky will be destroyed, and even the starry sky fruits in the ancient Hongmeng tree will suffer! Therefore, balance is the most eternal rule in the world."
"Once the balance is lost, everything will develop out of control. The ancient gods back then were already greedy for power and began to lose control, destroying the balance and trampling on order!"
Zhuo Wen thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "So the ancient Hongmeng tree gave birth to the Demon Infant. Do you want to use the Demon Infant to balance it? But you are wrong. After the Demon Infant became the Demon King, it broke the balance again! Everything is over.
It's back to the same old state, even worse than before. It has killed so many innocent lives."
Hongmeng shook his head and said: "No! Everything is on the right track. The so-called destruction must not be established, but it must be destroyed before it is established! If we want this starry sky to develop in a truly long-term and stable manner, we can only maintain balance!"
"The Demon Infant is just to restrain the Ancient God from accelerating the destruction of balance. To truly maintain the balance, it is not the Demon Infant that relies on you, but you! Zhuo Wen, you are the maintainer of order, and the new balance will be maintained by you!"
"And I also believe you can do it all!"
Zhuo Wen was stunned. He didn't expect that Hongmeng would take all of this into account. But thinking of what he saw and heard in the ancient stars, Zhuo Wen was still filled with anger. The Demon Infant's methods were too extreme.
But Zhuo Wen was powerless because he couldn't change everything.
"If you feel angry, that's right! Then accept the inheritance I gave you and change everything! Use the tenacity, anger and impulse in your heart to change it!"
Hongmeng murmured softly, stretched out his skinny right hand, and touched Zhuo Wen's forehead with his finger.
Zhuo Wen subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but found that his body was motionless. He could only watch helplessly as Hong Meng's right hand pointed between his eyebrows.
A torrent of information continued to pour into Zhuo Wen's mind. Following this terrifying information, there was a strange and mysterious power that penetrated directly into his mind and even his whole body.
