One joke from the witch, I open the gate of heaven with one sword

Chapter 72 You don’t want to miss the news about your father, right?

"Very good."

After receiving Xu Lan's affirmation, Xiahou Changyuan smiled.

"Ancestor, I will retreat first."

Xiahou Yunxi on the side was very knowledgeable.

She could probably feel that the following conversation would be beyond ordinary people's cognition, and might even involve some unknown secrets.

"It's okay, just stay."

Xiahou Changyuan shook his head and said, "There are some things you should know."

"Sir seems to have guessed what I want to ask."

Xu Lan laughed,

Judging from Xiahou Yunxi's attitude towards Xiahou Changyuan, he became increasingly certain that his guess about his identity was correct.

Although it may sound absurd.

"You are a very clever man."

Xiahou Changyuan said calmly: "You will not waste the opportunity to ask these three questions in vain."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Xu Lan paused for a moment and then asked the first question.

"Sir, is he an immortal?"

Everyone: ...
At this moment, both Sun Hongying and Xiahou Yunxi looked shocked.

Fairy?

Although there have always been many legends about immortals in the world, no one has ever seen what a real immortal looks like.

And the Xiahou Changyuan in front of him is an immortal?
Especially Xiahou Yunxi was confused.

She knew the true identity of Xiahou Changyuan, but she never thought that her ancestor could be related to the immortal.

"No."

Xiahou Changyuan pondered for a moment, and then said: "There are indeed immortals in this world, but there are more than just immortals."

Xu Lan:......

This answer contained too much information. Xu Lan closed his eyes slightly and thought quickly.

He could infer more information from Xiahou Changyuan's answer,

Xiahou Changyuan is not an immortal;

But there are higher beings above the immortals, and Xiahou Changyuan is one of them.

As for whether there are other existences above Xiahou Changyuan, that is still unknown.

"Immortal is just a more general name. A few people can do things that most people can't do, so they become immortals."

Xiahou Changyuan chuckled and said: "Immortals are no different from most living beings. They are also bound by [rules]."

"Since immortals are still bound by [rules], then who controls the rules?"

Xu Lan's heart moved slightly,
If someone is bound by [Rules], then naturally there will be people who master [Rules], and there are even those who create [Rules].

Which category does Xiahou Changyuan belong to?

"Those who master the rules are called Star Lords, and each Star Lord controls different rules."

Xiahou Changyuan said calmly: "As you can see, I am one of them."

Xingjun
When hearing these two words, everyone present fell into silence.

[Immortal] There are some records of this kind of group in history books and even some rumors.
But the word "星君" has never appeared.
Not only Xu Lan felt this way, but also the eldest princess heard about the existence of [Xingjun] for the first time.

"I have never seen any records related to [Xingjun] in any books."

Sun Hongying seemed puzzled.

In the past, in order to find a way to survive the calamity of heaven and man, she

I have read countless books but have never mentioned the word "Star Lord" in any of them.

"It's normal."

Xiahou Changyuan paused for a moment, and then continued: "What the human race sees and knows now is what the Star Lords are willing to let you know. As for some things that have happened in the long history, the Star Lords have united to erase them. Lose."

Star gentlemen!
Xu Lan's face changed slightly,

This short sentence reveals too much information!
There is more than one star king,
It can even be judged from Xiahou Changyuan's tone,
Although Star Lords are individuals with great power, there are not a few beings who can be called Star Lords.

This group possesses unimaginable power.
As the controllers of the [Rules], they can not only change what everyone in the world sees and knows,
It can even erase some things that have happened in the long history.

Everyone fell into silence,

There is no doubt that Xiahou Changyuan's few words have subverted their understanding of the world.
Before this, they believed that practitioners were the masters of this world.

And until now,
Xiahou Changyuan told them that even if they practice to the extreme and become immortals, they still have to accept the constraints of the "rules".

And Xingjun,
It is the existence that controls the rules.

"So the existence above Star Lord is a god?"

Although everything Xiahou Changyuan said subverted their understanding,
But Xu Lan quickly recovered from this surprise.

"Is this the third question?"

Xiahou Changyuan smiled slightly and did not answer directly.

"Wait, don't ask about this."

Xu Lan quickly changed his words when he saw this, and then turned his attention to Sun Hongying.

"Is she also one of the Star Lords?"

Xu Lan asked the last extremely critical question,

When Sun Hongying survived the catastrophe of heaven and man, Xiahou Changyuan's attitude was completely different from before.

At first he couldn't understand why Xiahou Changyuan had such an attitude towards Sun Hongying.

Until now,

After learning about the existence of [Xingjun] from Xiahou Changyuan, he suddenly had a suspicion in his mind.

It's just that he thinks it's too absurd,
Letting Xiahou Changyuan answer now may be able to prove whether his guess is correct.

"what?"

Sun Hongying was stunned for a moment, why did she point at me while we were having a good chat?

Am I Xingjun?

What a joke, how is this possible!

"I didn't expect you to ask that question."

Xiahou Changyuan continued to smile and said, "It seems that you two have a good relationship, right?"

"I have nothing to do with him."

Sun Hongying was extremely stubborn and still refused to admit that there was any shady relationship between herself and Xu Lan.

"Yeah"

Xu Lan glanced at Sun Hongying and sneered.
It really doesn't matter,
It's just that you know my strengths and weaknesses, and I know your depths.

"In a sense, she is indeed one of the Star Lords."

Xiahou Changyuan ignored the show of affection between the two people, but continued calmly: "Her previous life, no, to be precise, from 500 years ago, she was a Star Lord who was in charge of the rules." Reincarnation? !
These four words shocked Xu Lan, which also confirmed Xu Lan's previous guess about another consciousness in Sun Hongying's body.

The other consciousness [Sun Hongying] was not born because she chose to practice the way of killing.

But it existed in her body from the beginning!
"Impossible, this"

Sun Hongying was obviously reluctant to accept this fact.
After all, she has lived as [Sun Hongying] for the past 20 years.
As a result, she was told today that she was not actually Sun Hongying, but the reincarnation of Xingjun?

"Even if you don't want to believe it, it's true."

Xiahou Changyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "This is why your calamity is different from that of ordinary people."

Sun Hongying: ...
She didn't want to accept it, but now she seemed to have to accept this reality.

"Wait, Lord Xing will die too?"

Xu Lan suddenly asked: "Reincarnation is not a good thing, right?"

However this time Xiahou Changyuan did not continue to answer,

Because this is already Xu Lan's fourth question.

"Want to know more?"

Xiahou Changyuan smiled slightly and said, "When you and Yun Xi give birth to a descendant, I will naturally answer all your questions."

Xu Lan:......

For a while, everyone fell silent.

Everything Xiahou Changyuan said was enough to subvert their understanding of the world.

"Xingjun, will you also be able to break the bonds of the world of mortals?"

After a while, Xu Lan raised his head and looked at Xiahou Changyuan and asked: "As beings who control the rules, the Star Lords have already stood at the pinnacle of all living beings. Everything in the world should be meaningless to you."

"this one"

Xiahou Changyuan pondered for a moment,

Then he said with a smile: "The meaning of Xingjun's existence is to control the rules. This is also the source of Xingjun's power. Only by fulfilling their respective responsibilities can they obtain sufficient power. This is also one of the [rules]."

"I see."

Xu Lan understood immediately,

No wonder Xiahou Changyuan, as the Star Lord, wanted to intervene in the affairs of the Chu Dynasty after a thousand years. The fundamental reason is that the rise and fall of the Chu Dynasty determines his strength.

"Then how was Xingjun born?"

Sun Hongying came back to her senses,
Although she was not willing to accept that she still had a previous life, she had no choice but to accept what Xiahou Changyuan said now.

"A long time ago, there were many races in this world. There were immortals with extraordinary power and demon gods with the ability to destroy the heaven and the earth. There was no harmony among all the races. But except for a few races, most races were equal to each other. Let’s live in peace and develop our own lives.”

Xiahou Changyuan continued to speak, saying: "Until one day, all the people with extraordinary power among all races received guidance from the managers of heaven."

"Isn't it going to make all your races fight?"

Xu Lan's heart jumped suddenly,
If Xiahou Changyuan hadn't said it himself, he wouldn't have known that there was such a period of history in this world's past.

"more or less."

Xiahou Changyuan smiled and said: "The managers of Heavenly Dao say that there should be rules in this world, and only the strongest creatures can become the beings in charge of the rules."

"But just because of one word, all races will start fighting, right?"

From a mortal perspective, Sun Hongying could not understand all of this.

"In that era, all races had no right to choose."

Xu Lan said softly: "Just like the law of the jungle among today's practitioners, sometimes if you don't kill others, others will kill you."

"Yes."

Xiahou Changyuan nodded and agreed: "At first, there were some races that were not willing to participate in this kind of dispute, but most of them were destroyed by other races."

“In order to become the rule controllers, countless extraordinary beings among all races have constantly plundered the resources of other races to make themselves stronger. It will not be until ten thousand years later that this absurd and real war of all races comes to an end. "

"And it was at that time that the human race quietly emerged, from the bottom of all races until it finally became one of the only four remaining races."

"At this time, the Heavenly Dao Manager reappeared, and under its gift, the strongest of the four races became the four star gods in charge of the four domains."

"At the same time, in order to reward those immortals who have performed outstandingly among all races, the four star gods have jointly created various rules and given them to those immortals."

"And I, including this Miss Sun's previous life, became the Star Lord who mastered the [rules] at that time, and was also given the ability to live forever."

Crowd: ...

What Xiahou Changyuan said subverted their cognition once again, and everyone fell into silence.

"Above the immortals is the Star Lord, above the Star Lord is the Star God, but above the Star God is the manager of the heavenly way."

"Star Lords, as beings who control [the rules], have the ability to live forever, but their power comes from whether they fulfill their responsibilities."

"If my guess is correct, the rules mastered by Xiahou Changyuan, the founding emperor of Chu, should be related to [destiny]."

"As for Sun Hongying's identity, Xiahou Changyuan should know it, but he is unwilling to say more."

Countless thoughts flashed through Xu Lan's mind,

Although everything sounds quite absurd, Xiahou Changyuan should not lie to himself. This will not do him any good.

As for other doubts
At present, Xiahou Changyuan refused to say more, and he had no way to continue questioning.

"Ancestor, there is something I don't understand."

Xiahou Yunxi, who had remained silent at this time, asked: "Since you are the Star Lord, ancestor, why are your descendants unable to practice?"

"It's hard to say that."

Xiahou Changyuan coughed slightly, but he was unwilling to answer this question.

It can't be said that he did some treacherous things and then attracted punishment from the managers of heaven, right?
Then do you still want his image of a superior person?
Xiahou Yunxi:...

"That's it. It's getting late and you should rest."

After chatting for so long, Xiahou Changyuan didn't seem to have much interest in continuing the conversation.

He cast his gaze on Xu Lan and said with a smile, "Is three years enough?"

"I try my best."

Xu Lan's face was covered with black lines,

Giving birth to a child depends on fate!

You can't just say that he can have a baby if he wants to.
"Well, if nothing else happens, we will learn some information about your father from the "Ninth Prince" tomorrow."

Xiahou Zhangyuan seemed to have read through Xu Lan's mind and smiled directly: "Xu Lan, you don't want to miss the news about your father, right?"

Xu Lan:…….
Older gingers are more spicy.

If he didn't show up in Xiahou Yunxi's bed tonight, there would be nothing wrong with him tomorrow morning.

"I see."

Xu Lan completely lost his temper.

This is not a question of whether he wants to sleep or not, but this old guy is threatening him!

Presumably Sun Hongying should be able to understand herself, right?
"If you don't want to sing, you can sleep with Miss Sun tonight."

Xiahou Changyuan looked at Sun Hongying lightly and said, "My disciple usually doesn't have many friends. I hope Miss Sun will spend more time with her."

As for the relationship between Xu Lan and Sun Hongying,
He won't care,

But if Sun Hongying interferes with the relationship between Xu Lan and Xiahou Yunxi, then he will start to care.
