Chapter 8393: Protoss 4
Although their status is the same, in fact, the saint's status in the eyes of the clan is much higher than that of the patriarch, because the saint is the guarantee of the continuation of the blood of the ancient gods. Although the strength of the Eternal God Race is strong, it is also flawed. This flaw is that it cannot breed life. The people of the Eternal God Race, from the moment they were born, have more powerful strength than other immortals, and the speed of cultivation is extremely fast. This is our talent. However, God is fair, giving you extraordinary gifts, while depriving you of the ability to conceive life. "
"So, in order to continue the bloodline of the ancient gods, it must be done through the saintess. In the ancient gods, there is a holy lamp, and the holy lamp is the key to the continuation of the blood. After the holy lamp is lit, its flame is called the "life". Fire, as long as the fire of life is introduced into the body, the next generation can be bred. And this fire of life can only be ignited by a saint.
"So it is." Leng Xuan nodded secretly, and finally understood the reason. "The appearance of the Holy Maiden is chosen by the Holy Lamp. If the Holy Lamp thinks that there is a suitable woman within the Eternal God Race to become the Holy Maiden, it will send down the Holy Light to guide us to find the Holy Maiden, and let her pass the ceremony and become the Holy Maiden. The saintess of the Eternal God Race. The lifespan of saints will not be very long, at most thousands or thousands of years." Hearing this, Leng Xuan asked, "Why?"
"This is the price." Li Gen said, "Everything has to pay a price. The Holy Maiden's duty is to breed life for the Eternal God Race. But at the same time, there is a price to pay for nurturing life. Every time the Holy Maiden lights the holy lamp, When a life is born, its own lifespan will also decrease. Therefore, the Eternal God Clan has a rule that each saint can only be lit a hundred times. Only in this way can the saint live for a thousand years. However, after the fourteenth term When the Holy Maiden, the Holy Lamp lost its response, and never pointed out the candidate for the next Holy Maiden. Since then, the Eternal Protoss has been in crisis. At that time, there were two factions in the Eternal Protoss, and one faction advocated Continue to wait, waiting for the appearance of the next saint, while the other faction believes that they should not sit still like this, and have to leave this space and find another way, but the saintess faction does not agree with their proposal, and they are not allowed to leave this place privately. space."
"As the battle between the two factions became more and more fierce, a civil war also started. This civil war was the main reason for the extinction of the ancient gods. When the war ended, the people of the ancient gods had lost their lives. It is almost the same. The tribe that used to be tens of thousands of people has not even reached a thousand people. With the end of this war, everyone has become disheartened. Those who advocated leaving have left, and no one is stopping them. Because they know very well that at this point, it is useless to stop them. And the other hundreds of people continue to stay in this space and survive. The life span of the ancient people is different from that of other immortals. When you reach a certain level, you can have the same lifespan as the sky. However, unlike the Wangu people, the lifespan is generally around 10,000 years, and only those with super strength can live to 20,000 years."
After listening to his story, Leng Xuan sighed. Historically, many tribes were destroyed by internal discord. Thinking about it, a question suddenly popped into his mind, "Since they are all dead, why are you still alive?"
