Let go of the blood feud? I will transform into a strange being and will not stop until I die!

Chapter 90: Suiren and Fire
[Suiren has stolen the fire.]

[That is a blood-red stone in the shape of a "door"]

These words and the picture in his mind appeared inexplicably after he successfully transformed himself into a ghost.

Su Yang had no idea about this.

Su Yang had never heard of "Suirenshi", "fire", or "door" shaped stone.
But, Su Yang is sure——

These clues are extremely crucial!

Otherwise, these things would not have appeared in his mind after he transformed into a ghost and became the new king of the cursed ghost!

Therefore, he projected this image and the murmur directly into the minds of all humans in the Human Fortress No. 7.

If the people at the Nine Gates or other citizens of the fortress had heard about "Suiren", "fire" and "gate-shaped stone", they would certainly be surprised and their emotions would fluctuate.

And what Su Yang is best at now is to see through a person's thoughts through the veil of emotions!
"So, what are we?"

Human fortress number nine, beneath the towering golden tree.

Number Five looked at the "towering golden tree" that had turned into a blood tree, and was speechless for a long time.

When he asked the "Towering Golden Tree" about the information he had collected a thousand years ago from the "Son of the Golden Tree",
Number Five has already prepared himself mentally——

Even if the "Towering Golden Tree" transformed all the people in their Nine Gates into cursed monsters through the "Golden Tree Blessing", No. 5 would not be too shocked.

He can accept it.

To Number Five, there is actually no difference between a cursed creature and a human being.

As long as he can keep his memory, as long as he can keep his thoughts,

Then, he is still No. 5 of the Nine Gates, he is still the master of the No. 5 human fortress, and he is still himself!
Whether it is a curse or a human being, they are nothing more than two forms of life, nothing more than a shell.
If the price to pay for a long life is to lose the skin of a human being, No. 5 is willing to bear it!
However, what the "towering golden tree" who called himself Donghuang Taiyi told him was beyond No. 5's expectations!

It even directly caused the worldview he had built up throughout his life to collapse!

All human beings are not human?

So what exactly is the human race?
That is a heritage that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years!

That is tens of thousands of years of self-identification!
The citizens of Jiumen, the entire human fortress, regard what they collected from the ruins of civilization as their roots!

Everything that prospered;
The civilization that once flourished;
They all come from the roots deep in their blood!
These are the cornerstones laid by their ancestors!

their writing;
The legends they left behind;
Customs that have lasted for thousands of years;

The blood flowing deep in their veins!

These are the things they have firmly believed in for tens of thousands of years!

These are the things they are proud of and willing to protect with their lives!

But now, someone told No. 5——

These are all fake;

None of this had ever belonged to them;

It's just a lie.

How could No. 5 accept this? How could No. 5 be willing to accept this? !
What is the point of their efforts over the past ten thousand years? What is the meaning of their existence? Why do they go to the Bandit Emperor day and night to collect curses? What is the point of their survival for a thousand years? What is the truth they are pursuing?
Is all this meaningless?

Number Five only felt that the thing that had been beating in his chest for thousands of years was slowly stopping beating.

It was dying, and seemed to fall into the muddy yellow earth at his feet. Number Five knew that the "Giant Golden Tree" had no reason to deceive him.

Now, we are facing a powerful enemy.

Su Yang has already arrived at the human fortress and has been killing people indiscriminately. Millions of people have lost their lives.

The remaining few people from the Nine Gates have also entered Su Yang's [Domain], and I'm afraid they are in danger.
In this situation, he was the only one left among the Nine Gates, and he had lost his usefulness.

What’s the point of the “towering golden tree” deceiving him with such a shocking lie?
The possibility that the "Golden Tree" deceived him was very small.
Everything that the "Golden Tree" said is probably true.
Furthermore, when Number Five recalled the messages left by the generations of cursed kings in the wasteland, he could vaguely get a rough idea of ​​what happened.

From the beginning to the end, the "Son of the Golden Tree" and the "King of Curses" had an ambiguous attitude towards the "human race" and the Nine Gates.

Although they are the kings of the Curse, they have no hostility towards the "human race" or the Nine Gates.

They even kept leaving information and clues to help the Nine Gates guide the Nine Gates!
They try to make Jiumen understand this world
"Suirenshi!"

"The king who left you this message is named Suirenshi!"

Just when No. 5 was at a loss and almost unable to stand, the murmur of the "towering golden tree" echoed in his ears again.

Suirenshi?
Number Five looked up in a daze, looking at the terrifying "towering golden tree" in front of him, with branches full of human corpses.

He had never heard of the name Suirenshi.

But fortunately, the "Towering Golden Tree" did not keep the secret, and his pleasant voice continued to resound in this world.

"In an era that is extremely far away, many reincarnations ago, that can be called the starting point of mankind."

"At that time, life was simple and hard. They ate wild fruits. This coarse diet often caused damage to their stomachs and intestines. Disease was like a haze, covering every tribe."

"If we use the present as an analogy——"

“Feeding on wild fruits can be likened to feeding on emotions”

"Don't get me wrong, the humans here don't refer to you, but the special curse created by Su Yang and Su Yue."

Donghuang Taiyi's voice was tinged with reminiscence.

Although Number Five couldn't understand what he was saying, he still listened quietly.

"One day, the sky suddenly changed, and a blazing flame suddenly appeared in the forest. In an instant, all the animals in the forest turned into remains on the scorched earth, and it was difficult to find any trace of the fleeing creatures."

"The tribesmen picked up these roasted pieces of meat out of helplessness, their hearts filled with fear and uneasiness. However, when the first bite of the cooked meat with the smell of fireworks melted between their lips and teeth, the unprecedented deliciousness amazed everyone."

"Unfortunately, fire is easy to fade. When the last cooked meat is eaten up, people are once again faced with the fate of hunting and eating raw meat. The cold blood of the beasts adds a bit of bitterness to their survival."

"At this moment, a miraculous scene quietly unfolded between heaven and earth - a giant bird was foraging on the top of a flint log. Its beak gently pecked at the wood trunk, and a tiny light flashed, as if the secret book of nature was quietly unfolding before the eyes of a leader."

"Inspiration struck the tribal leader like lightning, and he came up with a brilliant idea."

"He picked up two pieces of flint and rubbed them together countless times until the sparks gathered into a blazing light. Finally, the fire of civilization was awakened at this moment."

"This feat not only changed the history of human beings eating raw meat and drinking blood, but also earned this leader the honorific title of "Suirenshi" and even "Suihuang"!"

"So."

Donghuang Taiyi smiled.

"If the special curse created by Su Yang and Su Yue is a human, then what does the fire represent?"
