Chapter 69 The secret behind the scenes, the road of the protagonist
The sunlight shone slanted from the hollow on the top of the mountain was stained on the white robe skeleton sitting upright, shining brightly, not necessarily terrifying, but a bit solemn and sacred by religion.
It seemed like an ordinary corpse, motionless, letting Luo Yu talk to himself.
This behavior made Luo Yu feel annoyed, but he stepped back and said lightly: "If you keep pretending to be crazy and stupid like this, don't blame me for taking them away. You should see that with the help of that powerful lady, the so-called evil spirit monster outside can no longer stop us."
He thought about it, but added, "After leaving, I will declare your actions to the god I believe in, and let her make a fair judgment!"
As his warning sounded, an old voice finally came.
"Congratulations, you've returned successfully..."
The skeleton sitting upright creaked, and the bones of the body made a crisp collision sound one after another, and slowly stood up. A faint golden mist evaporated from the flat ground under the body, covering its body. The smooth bones under the white robe gushed out blood and fibers, filling the terrifying skull heads. Finally, the one who stood in front of Luo Yu was already a smiling old man.
He looked at Luo Yu, his face twitched slightly, and he forced a smile: "I didn't expect you to complete my mission so well. It's so happy."
"Happy?" Luo Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It's just surprise and loss!"
"It is probably because you learned my tiny strength from last night that you deliberately gave me such a task and asked me to die?" He waved his hand to stop the old man's defense and continued to infer to himself:
"The only thing that makes me curious is why you killed me? Is it to make the person behind me angry and then help you kill that monster?"
"No!" Seeing that it had been completely exposed, the old man calmed down, "Actually, I don't want the one behind you to take action. This is very likely to destroy the balance that the land has finally maintained and cause catastrophic destruction, my real goal..."
"It's actually the girl who came with you."
"Uh?" Luo Yu looked at it in surprise. Could this kind of existence that transcends ordinary things will also be moved by beauty? Although Ai Jing is indeed an extremely attractive young girl, it seems that the aesthetic view of Orientals should be quite different from that of the West, right?
The old man could see his guess at a glance, shook his head and smiled bitterly, but slowly explained the reason.
As Luo Yu guessed, the terrifying figure in black robe did have a very close relationship with the old man, or they were the same person.
Two individuals split by the original scholar named "Cohen Kaida".
Decades ago, this scholar from Elasia came to this strange island for some reason, and in the dark, he was given a task by a mysterious existence to teach past adventurers a skill.
When he came to this world, even the Daer Er Monster Clan had not yet emerged. In the desolate and primitive forest, although there were abundant wild resources and colorful natural scenery, after exhausting this area, let alone the so-called "adventurers", there was no smart creature that could communicate.
Even though he could rely on some alchemy and magical mystical knowledge in his mind to maintain a pretty good life, the dull and boring days made him feel a little lonely. Until one day, for some reason, a few big-eared monsters that were barely pursuing in this woodland was the only creature he had seen with certain intelligence.
The lonely scholar, looking at these clumsy and primitive creatures, struggled to survive in a daze, suddenly had a strange idea: teach them knowledge and language, so that they can become companions who can communicate with themselves.
In the initial attempt, scholars just wanted to use this ridiculous behavior to obtain some tools to relieve boredom and pass the long lonely years. As these innocent forest monsters spend more time together, a strange relationship was formed between them.
Scholars teach them life and wisdom, and help them grow, learn to use tools and use flames to keep warm. These growing tribes of the Great Ears worship this prophet who has wasted his time as a parent, elder, and even an omnipotent god.
However, one day, on the day of the seventh generation of this tribe's alternation, the old man who had been working hard for half his life in the tribe, holding the newborn big-eared monster baby, also the only descendant of the previous leader, to declare the supreme leader status, and a big-eared monster holding a white bone spear broke in.
The big-eared monster with red eyes walked straight towards the respectable old man. Under his surprised gaze, he easily broke the spear in his hand and penetrated directly into his heart. Then the old man fell down in confusion.
This seemed like a signal. The monsters who were originally gathered together suddenly appeared countless betrayers, and they ruthlessly stabbed the weapons in their hands into the chests of their relatives and compatriots. Chaos and doomsday suddenly came.
This coup, which seemed to be from the ugly **, was actually a terrible existence from another plane. It was carefully planned to conspire to use its dirty blood to contaminate the water source and corrode some of the big ear monsters. Then, taking advantage of this most relaxed day, the corrupt one of them held the demon-breaking bone spear to kill the old man who blocked it, and completely control the tribe.
These materials are derived from the original consciousness of this land. They informed the dead scholars in an indescribable way. Then, through the years of faith of these big-eared monsters, they injected strength into his soul, and directly ascended to heaven, transformed into an existence of "gods" and defeated the incoming black dragon.
At this point, it should be considered a classic story of justice over evil, but this is just the beginning, because the body of the old man who was stabbed to death by a bone spear.
The bone spear was accompanied by a strange power of the necromancer. After killing the scholar's body, it used the remaining resentment to be resurrected in the form of an "evil spirit" and split out the "evil" side of the god. Although it maintained a certain degree of reason and had no divine power, it was swollen from the "betrayed" resentment.
It took advantage of its own leisure to fight against the black dragon and secretly ran out. With the crazy and unrestrained wisdom of the mage, the fisherman benefited, but instead controlled the black dragon. Relying on its ability, it corroded the only remaining big-eared monsters in the forest and transformed them into the form they longed for - power, loyalty, and never betrayed.
What was embarrassing was that this god who was temporarily induced to be able to limit his power to his holy land - the cave where his flesh died. He watched his believers be controlled, and in the end there was only the last one, the baby who was originally the heir of the leader.
Two individuals with the same origin bet on this forest and the tribe of the Big Ear Monster, and fought a bet between "divine nature" and "evil thoughts". The former wins, and the Big Ear Monster will return to nature and continue to grow and grow. If the latter succeeds, it will replace him as a new "god" and gain the support of evil believers.
But no matter what, they agreed that no matter who wins, they will work with the other two native gods of this land to fight against the evil terror from the unknown world.
"Since the so-called 'earth consciousness' is so powerful, why don't you take action yourself?" Luo Yu listened with relish for a long time and couldn't help but raise his doubts.
"This world is too small." The scholar replied calmly, "It is too poor, there is no sufficient spiritual accumulation, and it is still in a state of ignorance and chaos. It has not yet completed the 'unification'. It can only rely on creatures with great obsession and potential to spawn incomplete gods, so that they can manifest themselves and resist."
"Okay." Luo Yu nodded in a vague way, "You have said so much, what does this have to do with your so-called 'target' Ai Jing? I don't understand..."
"This is hard to explain..." The old man paused, "We three gods can only fight against the evil gods who are also 'concentrated bodies', but their powerful body in the material world has not yet died, and it needs to be solved by mortals."
"For this reason, Mother Earth has given us strength. Each of us has blessings derived from our own characteristics, blessed by a certain mortal, allowing him to gain the love of heaven and earth, and be strong enough to destroy the evil body."
"And I chose the 'girl' with good talent as my object. As long as you are still alive, with your strength, you will likely take her away and give her a partner to rely on. Therefore, I originally planned to stimulate her growth through your death, and then teach me personally to inherit my magic power. Even if I fail, the other 'me' will not only not harm her when she sees her blessings and potential, but will try my best to help her grow."
Blessings?! Luo Yu suddenly remembered the "elements of grass and trees" of his own existence, and then connected these things. Thinking of the weak-like performance of these gods, a flash of inspiration.
"The mortals blessed by gods are going to attack the great devils in another world. Isn't this a distinctly traditional treatment of 'protagonist'?!"
He suddenly came back and finally figured out what was going on!
It turns out that although this world is composed of countless fragments from other worlds, it is hiddenly formed into oneself. Faced with the invasion of the outside world, a "plot" will naturally begin to emerge.
If it weren't for the intrusion of the three of them, according to the development trajectory of the world, it would be obvious that in a few years, a protagonist boy with "thick eyebrows, big eyes, righteousness" (maybe three) would have been born in the world. He received the blessings of three gods in the adventure, and then grew up all the way, and finally successfully attacked the demon king, leaving behind a legend.
