They didn't last long, and Xia Fan found that the headbands covering their eyes seemed to be some kind of aggressive weapon, which was obliterating their intelligence. It was useless for them to cover their heads or even scream, and finally...

Their arms suddenly drooped, and they didn't seem to be in pain anymore, and they didn't roar or struggle anymore. There were smiles on the corners of their mouths, and they hugged their companions subconsciously.

They were alive, but they were dead, they had lost their spirits, and before they lost their spirits there was a gleam of light from their horns, like the last tears.

"Ah Xian, this... this is..."

"Xiaoyue, be quiet...be quiet first..."

The two children were obviously terrified by this scene. In the vast underground space, there were strange creatures in captivity. Although the appearance of these creatures was obviously different from that of the human race, the crystalline scales covering their bodies still made boys and girls feel a sense of terror. Think a lot.

The road is not finished yet, the cave can go deeper, this is just the surface.

The boy and the girl were silent for a long time. Countless unspeakable emotions surged in their hearts. In order to find out the truth, they suppressed their already very unstable emotions, gritted their teeth and walked forward.

The road ahead is unknown, but the road ahead also makes them panic. This kind of panic is indescribable. They feel that their hearts seem to have stopped beating, or maybe they have really stopped beating. The girl's hair has already crystallized , the boy's arm too.

They are holding hands, in order to know that they don't care about the future fate at all, they have made such an awareness, then they naturally have the qualifications to know everything.

On the [-] stone platform, the poor bodies that have lost their souls are still embracing each other instinctively.

Deeper in the cave, there is a space filled with crystalline fragments. Broken crystals and beautiful grains are everywhere. These crystalline fragments are like tombstones, and the two children walked through the room with only crystalline fragments. On the road, I saw a pool of blood.

No, it's a blood pool, maybe it's more appropriate to describe it as a blood lake. There are many crystal blocks soaked in the thick blood lake. These crystals are the larvae of the Xi clan. The blood emits a strange blood light. The blood is all spiritual blood, which itself contains the blood of the human race.

This blood is probably provided by Da Neng at the last time, and holy blood is the main component. No matter how much blood a monk loses, he will not die easily. Therefore, these bloods are probably provided by people from the sea of ​​clouds. Don't look at this lake. It seems that there are many, if the monks of the sea of ​​clouds gather, including those normal human children, a person can fill the blood lake without paying much blood.

But the pungent bloody smell still made Xia Fan's eyelids twitch.

The larvae of the Xi clan soaked in the blood lake cannot grow normally at all. Long-term absorption of human blood for growth will only make them unable to grow the body of the Xi clan, and they are forced to assimilate with human blood. It has become acceptable to acquired creatures, but it is impossible to grow flesh and blood.

They can never appear as a living being.

The crystals were ups and downs on the blood lake, and there seemed to be no one watching them. The two children resisted their disgust and continued to walk deeper. The covered crystals trembled slightly as if they were breathing, and the nearby crystal fragments and grains were completely reduced to ashes.

It goes without saying what the crystal fragments and grains are. Xia Fan knows that they are the corpses of the Xi Clan. Completely exhaust the use value of the Xi clan.

To be honest, Xia Fan didn't want to continue walking anymore, but the crystal cave hadn't finished yet, and the two children still walked toward the depths without looking back, even though crystals had already grown on their bodies.

Finally, they came to the deepest part, which is actually an underground garden, where many beautiful flowers are planted, a big tree full of spiritual fruits is in the center of the underground garden, and the surrounding crystalline rock walls emit beautiful fluorescence , There are actually birds and butterflies flying here.

The moment the two children saw all this, they both opened their mouths wide as if they remembered something, and a very short and vague memory flashed in their minds.

They seem to have grown up here at first, from the time when they didn't remember anything, from the time when they were still learning to walk, they first existed under this scene, and their bodies still remembered the smell of the fragrant grass here.

Xia Fan sensed that there were people here, many of them, so she covered the breath of the two children to prevent them from being noticed immediately. They walked towards the center of the garden in confusion, and there was a jade building right under the big tree. The beautiful buildings built, the architectural style is actually similar to the temple hall.

Before fully entering it, the two children and Xia Fan saw many young girls lying in the small room and falling into a deep sleep. Xia Fan didn't know what was going on at this moment, but couldn't help clenching her fists. noticed something.

In the deepest part of the cave, there is a dreamlike and beautiful garden, and in the only building in the garden are many sleeping girls.

The two children are not stupid, and they also vaguely sensed the truth. They approached the building made of jade, and suddenly heard the sound of talking. They immediately lowered their footsteps and walked quietly towards the room where the sound came out. Through the window, I saw the profile of a man.

Fortunately, they were not found. Of course, this was also because Xia Fan blocked their aura. The man was a holy man with a high level of cultivation. He stood in front of the window and stared at the girl's face for a long time, and then Put a crystal covered with blood on her lower abdomen.

Slowly, the girl opened her eyes.

"It's you... have you come to me?"

"Well, in order."

The male saint nodded, and his eyes looked complicated, even a little unbearable.

"Then let's begin."

"I'm sorry, but on behalf of the human race, I'm grateful for your contribution to the glory of the human race. Your sacrifice will help us find our way to the future."

The tone of the male saint was full of real respect, and the girl nodded with a smile. In her opinion, this was also her glory. She held the crystal tightly with both hands, and let the sharp edges and corners of the crystal stab herself. The crystal was covered with The blood immediately poured into her body, she grunted twice in pain, and her whole body began to crystallize rapidly.

She is just a mortal, and after falling into a deep sleep, her youth is preserved by special means until the day when she needs to wake up.

The silver-gray crystals transformed by the girl were different from the beautiful and transparent crystals on the surface of the Xi Clan. The girl endured the pain and stretched out one hand to the sky, even though the sky could not be seen here, even if the sky could be seen in the entire sea of ​​clouds. There are many, but she still reaches out to touch the sky.

Her other hand was clenched into a fist, and she held the crystal in the palm of her hand and placed it on her chest. The male saint lowered his head and clenched his fist on his chest.

I don't know why, but this scene is a bit sacred.

"In any case, may the glory of the human race last forever."

The male saint sincerely salutes people, and the girl has completely turned into a crystal at this moment, and then shattered like a feather, leaving a pool of flying dust. In the dust, a new life is born And made a cry.

This new life has the appearance of a human baby, but its body is covered with a small amount of crystals.

Outside the window, the hearts of the two children have collapsed. They know everything, where they came from, and why it is taboo to talk about their parents, because they have no father, and their flesh and blood come directly from their mother.

Their existence itself is not right, because in fact they originated from the Xi clan but soaked in human blood, devoured the crystallization of Xi and finally devoured the flesh and blood of the human race. They are not spirits that should be born normally, no matter how human they are. people.

Their parents... Are they human or Xi?

They don't know the Xi clan yet, but they have seen the cruel experience of the Xi clan. The two children looked at each other painfully. They didn't even speak. They left here quietly holding hands.

They came under the tree and hugged each other. They no longer wanted to think, and shed tears that crystallized quickly. Their whole bodies began to crystallize irreversibly, and this also made them combine together in a crystallized posture.

"Xiaoyue... Actually I like you, no... I love you."

"Ok, I know."

The passionate emotion that was not allowed was released at the end, and turned into dust under the passionate kiss.

under the tree.

Xia Fan stretched out his hand, wanting to catch the beautiful dust that drifted away. These children were afraid of taboos in the past and deeply suppressed themselves. Their final reaction was somewhat beyond Xia Fan's expectations.

Not hating, but not identifying with either party, they gave up their lives, and all they wanted to do in the end was tell each other their suppressed sincerity.

They did not turn into nightmares, nor did they disintegrate into grains of sand, but dissipated more thoroughly, turning into dust that was hard to see with the naked eye. That was all, and the secrets of the sea of ​​clouds ended here.

"In the end, what is a human race?"

"In the end... what is glory?"

"Did they die in a human way?"

Xia Fan couldn't help reflecting at this moment, she even began to think about whether she was a human being, whether she was a human being, and how could she be considered a human being?

Are we human?

This question seems extremely simple to anyone, because anyone who can understand this question will answer without thinking that they are human, but what is the definition of human? Are these poor children human?

Or is the definition of a person just a flesh and blood body that looks the same as oneself?

Xia Fan couldn't make the determination to dedicate everything to the people. She couldn't do it. Although she only stayed in the sea of ​​clouds for a day or two, it was far less than the decades she spent on the road, but these two days shocked her. It is the largest she has ever been born.

There are some things that Xia Yi may not know, but she does.

Wasn't Xia Yi welcomed by many soldiers and people when he destroyed the All Souls Realm and returned to Glory Fortress?Everyone fanatically shouted that the glory of the human race will last forever.

Regardless of men, women, young or old, regardless of high or low.

May the glory of the human race last forever!

May the glory of the human race last forever!

The words kept being repeated until Xia Yi left. It seemed that no one felt tired. It seemed that whoever stopped first did something wrong. It seemed that doing so would not prove that he was a human being!

It was a big victory, a well-designed big victory, which was indeed exciting, but they shouted for a whole day and night without stopping. The Shinto generals thought it was a good thing, and felt that the spirit of the human race was very united, and they didn't care about it. In order to show that they care about the glory of the human race, the high-powered people took the lead and refused to stop.

Until finally the first person stopped. It was a child born in the Fortress of Glory. He had not yet cultivated much, and was forced to shout by his parents until his voice became hoarse, until he almost died.

That child seemed to be punished by his parents because the other children persisted, and he was the first to stop. That child made the whole family not honorable enough.

Yes, this is a trivial matter that Xia Fan unintentionally knew, a trivial matter that was "not honorable enough".

There is something rooted in the human race, and something is haunting the hearts of the people. It did not appear when the human race was burning for fire, nor did it appear when the human race was struggling to dominate the starry sky, nor did it appear when the human race was almost destroyed. The era of magic appears.

Because it will only appear in the twilight when the human race must be destroyed.

Another seventy years flew by.

Xia Fan hurried back to Rongguang Fortress with all her strength. She didn't want to go back to this abnormal place. Just hearing the word Rongguang made her feel as if someone was strangling her throat and her heart was being pinched. She was so anxious. Came back just to meet someone.

She wanted to see Xia Yi, she had to see Xia Yi, she couldn't figure out the answer by herself.

On top of the scorching chaotic fire pool, Xia Fan followed the source into the cave filled with chaotic fire. The chaotic fire burned her several times, but these pains were nothing compared to the confusion in her heart.

In the deepest part of the cave, she saw the relative she was most familiar with. His hair had turned gray unknowingly, and his face had wrinkles. He closed his eyes and remained motionless. Slowly opened his eyes, but his eyes were still as bright as before, and the glow was always there.

Kind and stern, with a love that is not good at words.

"Father... I'm here to see you."

Xia Fan actually wanted to hug her, but Xia Yi was almost half soaked in the chaotic fire pool, she was not a god yet, she couldn't bear the chaotic fire at all.

"Xiaofan, you look confused? Is there something on your mind?"

Xia Yi seemed to feel no pain at all, even his smile was the same as in the past, anyone who saw it would feel at ease.

"Father, I want to know what is a human being!"

Xia Fan has already resisted the fact that she was born as a human.

"In the broadest sense, people in the world think you are, and you are. In the narrowest sense, you think you are who you are. In the most normal sense, people you care about think you are, and so do you."

"Dad, do you think I'm human?"

Xia Fan stared into Xia Yi's eyes, Xia Yi hesitated for a while, it seemed that Xia Fan had encountered a big problem that puzzled her mind.

"Let's put it another way. If I say you are not, are you not?"

"Father, if you think so..."

"Then what will you do if you consider yourself inhuman?"

"I……"

Xia Fan couldn't find an answer, but her original intention was to help the Xi Clan, and everything about the Human Clan made her sick, and it was difficult for her to have a sense of identity with her Human Clan identity.

"Then who do you think you are if you are not human? You can be any individual you want to be, as long as your spirit is so persistent, even if you tell me you are from the Xi clan, I will not say anything, I will I wish you the best of luck in finding the life you want, but your position has been an enemy of the human race since that moment."

Xia Fan may not be the first person to help the Xi Clan, but he is definitely the one who really gave the possibility of communication. This possibility changed something, and because of this, Xia Yi decided to find a way out. He wants to reverse all these helpless realities.
