Chapter 1560 Let’s call it Xunguang
Xun Guang was interrupted by Lu Chen's sudden question, and his expression froze, "No, as you can see, I am obviously male in terms of gender meaning."
Lu Chen was a little puzzled, "Isn't this contradictory again?"
Xun Guang felt that it was quite strenuous to talk to a reckless man with a simple brain circuit, but now that he had opened his mouth, it would be even more uncomfortable if he didn't finish.
He took a deep breath and continued: "The Night Clan only has women, so there is no reproduction in the sense of life. It's like our birth was a mistake at the beginning, an accident when the world was separated. The heaven and earth were corrected again, and we were Return that part of the power of law, so life will only continue to decrease.”
"In the land of extreme darkness, the lifespan of the Night Clan is not eternal. It is like a limit set by heaven and earth. However, the Night Clan can pass on power and create the next generation. At a certain age, the women of the Night Clan will give birth naturally. If it is a girl, If it’s a boy, then keep it. If it’s a boy, then kill it.”
Listening to Xun Guang's narration, Lu Chen's eyes were a little confused, but he didn't ask any questions this time because he felt that Xun Guang would tell.
"Because only women can continue to give birth to children and allow the inheritance of the Night Clan to continue. In the ancient inheritance of the Night Clan, men are considered to be ominous beings. If a boy is born, he should be killed. This is considered to be a warning from heaven and earth to the Night Clan. , telling us that it’s time to return part of the dark power to nature, otherwise we will no longer be protected by the night.”
"This is a very barbaric tradition. It was only when I traveled to the world later that I realized the backward thinking of the Night Clan at that time. This is something only a few barbaric and primitive tribes in the mortal world would do. We, the Night Clan, are self-sufficient in our livelihood. In the darkness of nature, he is a son of heaven, but he is too ignorant to think about the rise and fall of his race. "
"I just said that the number of the Night Clan is constant when it is born, and gradually decreases over the years. This is because we can give birth to offspring without the union of men and women, but it does not take long after giving birth to offspring. As a mother The Night Clan will perish. This is a kind of inheritance and change of power. The power of laws given to the Night Clan by heaven and earth seems to be limited. "
"So under various traditions, the lives of the Night Clan will become less and less. One day, Lieutenant General will completely return to the world of the Sun. Taking from nature and returning to nature are just bubbles produced by accidental collisions in history."
"In such a race, one day, I... was born."
Xun Guang looked at Lu Chen through the darkness, "I was born in the eternal night."
Lu Chen's sword intention was restrained and there was no tit-for-tat confrontation. He knew that Xun Guang would not take action at this time, and he also knew that the other party had no intention of delaying time.
A strange thing happened. In the unrestricted fighting arena of the Supreme Athletic Conference, two powerful geniuses from different worlds actually chatted about the past. The scene was peaceful and strange.
"Then, you were not killed, something must have happened."
Lu Chen asked, he was actually fine. If it were Chu Zihang here and he didn't let Xun Guang finish speaking, he probably wouldn't be willing to continue fighting.
He was just curious about Xun Guang's story, or in other words, curious about things related to the Secret Blood of God.
"Yes, I was not killed because my mother escaped with me."
Mentioning this matter, a trace of sadness flashed across Xun Guang's face, an expression he had never shown in front of the world.
How many years have passed since people in the Zhiyang world mentioned him and would only recall his glorious legends in ancient times. How could they imagine that the invincible Master Xun Guang would also be sad?
"The Night Clan is a unique race. It has considerable strength since birth, and also has a certain degree of wisdom. It can understand the words of intelligent creatures and can think. It is much stronger than ordinary human babies. Therefore, from the first day I was born, Since the beginning of time, there have been memories.”
Xun Guang slowly narrated, as if in the dark realm he had created, he had returned to the extremely dark place where there was no sky.
"My mother secretly gave birth to me first. She didn't go out of the place where she lived for a long time. She hugged me, made me laugh, and told me many stories...stories from outside."
Xun Guang recalled with a look on his face, "Based on our current chronological system, my mother should have been three thousand years old at that time, which is basically half of the maximum life limit for a night tribe. At her age, as long as she is in the extremely dark place, At the altar, if you are baptized by darkness, you can conceive a child and give birth to the next generation of the Night Clan. This is how I was born.”
"After I was born, my mother's strength was not as strong as ever, but she was still a strong person, much stronger than I am now. She was different from other Night Clan people. She had never left the extreme darkness. However, I seemed to know a lot about the outside world. Later I found out that when the explorer came to the dark land, my mother was responsible for receiving him. Through communication, my mother learned many things about the outside world. ”
"Since then, my mother has become a special case among the Night Clan. She longs for the outside world, but is not allowed to go out because of the clan rules. She has repeatedly spoken within the clan and suggested that they should go out and have a look, instead of just using the dark law to invade. To dye the world and reclaim the power of darkness, they should witness the colorful world outside with their own eyes."
"But the Night Clan is very old-fashioned. This is tradition. It can also be said to be the restriction engraved deep in the soul of the Night Clan when the world was born. Mother broke through this restriction, and her thinking was liberated. Her incomparable desire The outside world, longing for the light outside, longing for the colorful life of all living beings..."
"In the third month after I was born, the elders of the Night Clan came to visit according to the estimated time of birth to check the inheritance status of my mother. Once they found out that I was a boy, I would be drowned and then buried in the Holy Land. A ceremony is held on the altar, allowing me to disperse into the pure power of dark law and return to the extremely dark place."
Hearing this, Lu Chen saw that Xun Guang was silent and said calmly: "But you survived."
Xun Guang sighed: "Yes, I survived. My mother took me to escape. It was a grand escape. In the eternal darkness, the silence was terrifying, and there were endless pursuers from all directions. We were the whole nation. A traitor to the Night Clan, this is a provocation to the Night Clan’s countless chronological beliefs and a violation of the rules.”
"I remember the day before the escape, my mother held me in her arms all day long. Her eyes flashed with struggle and endless thoughts, but when I reached out and touched her face, she smiled and squeezed. He pinched my face and said with a smile: 'Isn't this boy pretty cute?'..."
"Then my mother packed up the things in the house, picked up weapons that she had not touched for hundreds of years, wrapped me in a piece of cloth, and hung it on her chest, because she was afraid that she would not be able to protect herself when the enemy behind her attacked me. I."
Xun Guang's voice was calm, but there was a hint of anger. The anger had no origin, but Lu Chen felt it.
"A great mother."
Lu Chen praised, he has always been a qualified listener.
"My mother took me to escape from the clan. During this period, I experienced several battles and killed several strong men of the Night clan. In the eyes of the Night clan, this is probably an unspeakable crime, but to me, my mother is like The sun in the darkness, so I never believe in any nonsense. Many things in the world are relative."
Xun Guang continued with emotion: "In the end, my mother took me to the edge of the extremely dark land. There was a barrier built by the Night Clan there, but it was just a gathering of natural forces that had been reinforced. That kind of strength could not stop it at all. I can’t live with my mother in her heyday, it’s just the confinement of the Ye Clan’s thinking that prevents the Ye Clan from ever going to the outside world.”
"Very close... Very close... My mother kept saying this on the road. She was already seriously injured and her pace was getting slower and slower. We were about to reach the edge of the barrier. On the other side of the darkness, we seemed to have seen the outside world. The rising sun is all an illusion. Under the shadow of the law of darkness, there is no light from the outside world. "
"My mother fell, the last three feet in front of the barrier, and was nailed to the ground by countless dark spears. The power of the law blocked her, making it impossible for her to get up again, but she was pressed against her body. But I was unscathed. She used her last strength to release me from her arms and stretched out her trembling hands..."
Xun Guang's voice also trembled a little, "...pushed me forward with a ferocious expression. As a baby of only three months old, I had never seen such a ferocious expression on my mother's face. I was frightened at the time. Could it be that my mother Shouldn’t it be beautiful and gentle?”
"I didn't understand at the time. The torture-like pain and the anxiety in her heart left her with nothing more than that. She knew she couldn't go outside, but she wanted me to see her and wanted me to survive. She shouted , 'The last road is only three feet away, you have to run there by yourself'..."
"Seeing me in a daze, she roared and shouted, 'Run! Run! Run...' I only remember these sounds in my ears. I don't know how many times she said "run", but I finally came to my senses. , I started to move, and I got up from the ground, running with my tender hands and feet, trying to cross the last area and reach the light. "
Hearing this, even Lu Chen became nervous. Although he knew the outcome, he was still worried about the immature child back then. Xun Guang's story awakened some bad memories in him.
"Did you run out?"
Lu Chen asked.
Xun Guang shook his head, "I don't understand at all. It's just that when my mother asked me to run, I ran. But in fact, no matter how weak the barrier was, it was not something a baby could pass through. I was blocked, and I was at a loss. After all, he is a newborn child. No matter how smart you are, the most important thing in your heart is your attachment to your mother. "
"So after I hit the wall, I turned back in confusion. When I saw that I hit the wall, I stopped shouting and became very calm. At that time, several figures had descended from all around, all of them were elders of the Night Clan. I can’t remember how they cursed us for being so rebellious and heinous. I only remember that I stumbled back, sat down, and hugged my mother’s face.”
Xun Guang paused for a moment, and his words were very sharp: "Finally, I went out."
Lu Chen's face was full of questions. It felt like he was half-listening to a story and the other party told you the ending directly. What's more, he already knew the ending. He just wanted to know the key process.
"what happened?"
Lu Chen asked.
Xun Guang was silent, as if he was unwilling to mention the last thing that happened, or to think about it. That was the reason why he hated the original laws of the Night Clan.
"I said before that when every Night Clan member reaches a certain age, he will choose to give birth to an heir and pass on his power. Do you know what the method of inheritance is?"
Xun Guang used a question, but before Lu Chen could answer, he said: "It's killing and devouring. The child kills the mother and takes away her power. In the process of 'inheritance', the killing method becomes more cruel. The more power you can inherit.”
Lu Chen frowned after hearing this, "Can't we just pass it on and wait for the next generation to grow naturally? This way, the number of the Night Clan will not decrease sharply."
Xun Guang shook his head, "This is not some tradition or dogma, but the instinct engraved in the bones of the pure Night Clan. It is impossible to become a pure Night Clan by natural growth. When the children of the Night Clan are just born, they can only It is an unformed seed that can only start to grow after being irrigated, otherwise it will not gain strength. "
"At a certain age, when the seeds are ready to receive power, the aggression and desire for life growth deep in the seeds will drive the seeds to seize nutrients, which is the change of inheritance. In this process, The Night Clan is uncontrollable and completely dominated by the instinct of life.”
Xunguang narrated, with a pair of dark eyes filled with anger, sadness, regret and other emotions, as if he had returned to that night in a dark place.
"I only remember that my mother's face was very warm, and I can't remember anything in between. But when I woke up again, there was only a fragmented mother left in front of me. Only her head was still intact. My mother was very strong, and she was still there at that time. There is a trace of spiritual thought remaining, and the gentle smile that I was familiar with in the past is on my face..."
When Xun Guang spoke, his voice was trembling, "But I was extremely frightened at the time. I didn't know what was happening, but I felt that the power in my body had become stronger. It was like an infinite law of darkness, and the Night Clan was also in chaos, because The inheritor of your god's secret blood has arrived and is massacring the members of the Night Clan. The elders of the Night Clan who were chasing my mother and me all fell down one after another. In the chaos, I looked at my mother blankly..."
"...The Night Clan has no name, because we believe that we are born from heaven and earth, and names are unnecessary. We will eventually return to nature, and there is no need to engage in those individualized things."
"But at that time, my mother looked at me tenderly, but the look in her eyes was gradually disappearing. She said, 'You don't have a name yet, you should have a name.' At that time, I could only cry while holding my mother who was about to die, but Finally, he calmed down, watching his mother's energy gradually disappear, and quietly waited for her final instructions. "
"At the moment when the secret blood warrior's sword cut through the sky, the rising sun rose outside, and the light shone on my back. For the first time, I saw my mother's face clearly under the light. She smiled. Said: 'Let's call it Xunguang'"
There's more at noon
