"Discord."

Looking at the fertilizer pond building not far away, Jiang Li said with a complicated expression: "He is a creature from ancient times, but he has never had self-awareness until the heyday when he awakened himself."

"Ancient creatures?"

Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, then asked curiously: "How was he born?"

"Nobody knows."

Shaking his head, Jiang Li sighed and said, "There is no heritage or text left in the ancient times. Even the records of civilization are pieced together from some clues. In fact, we don't know how the Discord was born. The only thing we know is that it is a creature that should not exist. Its full name should be the Discord of the World."

"Then what is he doing at Beiliang Imperial College?"

Zhou Li asked in confusion: "His record was that he was beaten by you, then by the old scholar, and finally by Qianyun, and then he jumped into the cesspool and committed suicide. What does this mean?"

This question stumped Jiang Li.

Yes, what is he here for?

It felt like a wild dog running over and being kicked by three kinds of people one by one, and then dying in disgrace with its tail between its legs.

It's still very retro.

What is he here for?

"He's here to kill me."

At this time, Taoyao came.

She looked at the stunned crowd and said calmly, "Yilong assassinated Ling. This person came specifically to assassinate me."

Even without seeing it, Tang Wan could sense Zhou Li's murderous intent. She grabbed Zhou Li's sleeve and said softly, "He's dead."

"The person behind him is not dead."

Zhou Li stared at the building that he didn't dare to enter alone, and said in a deep voice: "It's impossible for him to come here to assassinate me without thinking. Someone must have instructed him."

Tang Wan was speechless. She knew that Zhou Li was really angry now. His anger was never hysterical, but a silent silence. Just like the day when he beheaded the prime minister's son, Zhou Li did not say anything full of anger from the beginning to the end. He just chopped off the man's head calmly as if it was a normal day.

"If I go over there, I can communicate with his soul and make him speak."

After taking a look at the place of death, Jiang Li said with a headache: "But the place where he died...is not very good."

The prerequisite for soul communication is contact with the remains and the complete soul.

Even if Jiang Li could really do it, He He's soul probably wouldn't be complete now. After all, being killed in a cesspool usually wouldn't allow a person's soul to be preserved intact. It's good enough to have a soul at all.

"Forget it, no need."

Zhou Li sighed and his expression returned to normal. He looked at Tao Yao and said firmly, "It was the prime minister who did it."

His tone was so firm that it seemed as if he had done it even if it wasn't him.

"almost."

The old scholar also came over with his hands behind his back. He glanced at Zhou Li with a look of pity, but his eyes were very gentle when he looked at Tao Yao. "It is impossible for little Tao Yao to make enemies with others. The only possibility is that she is Zhou Li's sister. Therefore, the person who is most targeting Zhou Li now is the initiator of this assassination."

"Only the Prime Minister."

Zhou Li said calmly: "I do have a lot of enemies, but generally speaking they don't have the ability to launch this level of assassination against me now."

"and."

At this time, Tang Wan spoke. Zhu Qianyun had been sent back to her dormitory and was being cared for by a professional doctor. The dragon transformation consumed too much of her physical strength, and Zhu Qianyun fell into a coma after she released the black dragon posture.

Tang Wan, who stayed here, remembered a detail. She looked at Zhou Li and said, "When the monster escaped, there was a mark on its wrist. It looked like a star."

"Stars?"

Jiang Li became alert when she heard these two words. She looked at Tang Wan and asked, "What kind of star?"

Tang Wan hesitated for a moment and described the stars she saw. After a moment, Jiang Li frowned and said after thinking:

"Greedy Wolf Star."

"what is this?"

This touched upon Zhou Li's blind spot in knowledge. He stood beside Tao Yao, his expression showing confusion.

"Purple Star Astrology."

Jiang Li did not hesitate and said directly: "A kind of destiny technique in the observatory can give people one or more powers of Ziwei Doushu."

"Star observatory?"

After hearing Jiang Li's words, the old scholar beside him was stunned, "Are you talking about the Royal Observatory?"

Royalty?

Zhou Li was stunned when he heard these two words.

"Only the royal observatory can move the palace."

Touching his smooth chin, Jiang Li frowned and said, "At least when I was the Lady of the Nine Heavens, this was an unchangeable truth."

"Did the royal family do this?"

Tang Wan asked.

Zhou Li didn't say anything, he just thought quietly. After a long while, he said, "Not necessarily."

"It seems like he's just trying it out."

The old scholar sighed and said, "Whether the assassination was successful or not is not important. What the people behind the scenes want to do is to muddy the waters and confuse people."

This is an open conspiracy. The stars of the royal observatory appeared on a monster and attacked Taoyao. This will cause Zhou Li to be suspicious of the royal family. Even if he can think calmly, this is still a thunder, a thunder that can be detonated at any time.

What if it was really done by the royal family?

"Qianyun is here."

After a long while, Zhou Li raised his head and said calmly, "It couldn't be the royal family who did it."

Everyone knew that this reason was not valid. The ruthlessness of the royal family was already known to everyone. Even a tiger that would not eat its own cubs was a joke to the royal family. Just the daughter of the King of Han was not enough to make the royal family give up some plans.

especially···

"do not think too much."

Zhou Li said softly, "If we start to be suspicious of each other now, the Prime Minister will naturally benefit from it. The quarrel is dead, there is no need to waste time on him, not to mention that we can't dig up his body, there is no point."

It really can't be dug out.

Who is digging? Those who have this ability will definitely not be able to catch the moon with bare hands. Those who don’t have this ability can’t enter this place at all.

Even the gravedigger has to think carefully before he uses his shovel.

Who knows what you'll find when you dig down with a shovel? "That's it."

Sighing, Zhou Li said, "He's already dead. It would only cause more trouble if I care about him any more."

"Reasonable."

Tang Wan nodded.

"Okay, let's go check out Yun Baibai."

Jiang Li looked at Zhou Li and said, "Her assessment should be coming to an end."

The matter was just forgotten.

At this time, Yun Baibai and Dayi's assessment was nearing the end.

Yun Baibai almost defeated Daji.

After the final fight, Yun Baibai's control over her spiritual energy had reached its peak. She found the most accurate angle and "lost" to Dayi.

She completely mastered the abilities of the Palace Master of Guanghan Palace.

"genius."

Facing Yun Baibai who "lost" to Dai, Jiang Li sighed not far away, "If it were thousands of years ago, she would probably be able to achieve immortality in ten years."

"so···"

Zhou Li finally asked, "Great Immortal, what on earth was going on with the immortals back then?"

"how to say···"

After a brief pause, Jiang Li said, "In fact, we have done research before, but because the records of ancient times are too ambiguous, most of the data or information is deduced from some clues, so the origin of immortals has never been studied too deeply."

Looking at Zhou Li, Jiang Li continued:

"But combined with what you told me before about the Three Lords and the ancient times, I actually have a guess."

Yun Baibai exhaled a breath of frost, and the divinity in her eyes gradually turned into the tranquility of a young girl. She seemed to feel Zhou Li's gaze, looked at him, and smiled gently and sweetly.

"The immortals at that time were already infinitely close to the ancient gods."

After a pause, Jiang Li said grimly, "If we go one step further, I'm afraid we will become the new Huang Yi."

Zhou Li blinked and didn't react for a moment.

"The ancient gods' erosion of humans is often the simplest and most direct. They recognize us, infect us, and finally become our followers. In ancient times, humans' strength robbed the heavens of their power, which led to the heavens not helping humans. However, we cultivators coexist with the heavens. In a sense, we have a great connection with the way of heaven."

Jiang Li stretched out his hand, looked at the lines on his palm, and said slowly: "But immortal cultivators often have conflicts with the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao is not friendly to external ancient gods, so the Heavenly Dao will also protect us immortal cultivators. Therefore, the ancient gods cannot infect us directly, but can only approach us slowly from the side, and finally make us fall completely."

"So, the first cultivators may have embarked on the right path, but the further we go, the closer we are to being infected. It's just that God helps us, so we immortals have been able to remain normal. But if more people become immortals, I'm afraid there will be a cluster effect, and everyone will be infected in the end."

He suddenly stopped talking, as if he had thought of something, and said with a strange look on his face: "So that's it."

"how?"

Zhou Li asked.

"Do you know the list of gods?"

Jiang Liling nodded, and a halo of book light slowly unfolded. She looked at the book and said, "The Yellow Emperor left the book, and Jiang Shang was deified. After deification, there was no such thing as scattered immortals in the world."

"what do you mean?"

Zhou Li also understood the meaning of Jiang Li's words and asked, "Is the Conferred God List intended to deal with the ancient gods?"

"Ah."

Nodding, Jiang Li said, "Many artifacts have their whereabouts, but there has been no news about the Investiture of the Gods. The Investiture of the Gods is a kind of immortal artifact left by the Yellow Emperor. Later, Jiang Shang used it to confer gods, but no one knows what kind of divine power it has. It is just regarded as a magical artifact with some immortal power."

The old scholar also understood everything and said, "So, the effect of the Conferred God List is not to confer gods, but to seal off the gods?"

"Yes."

Looking at Yun Baibai who was walking over, Jiang Li nodded and said, "If the Conferred God List is really used to block the immortals, then the decline of the Divine Court is reasonable."

Everything is cleared up.

This world is divided into three eras.

In ancient times, humans were born strong, with unique abilities and true nature, the charm of classic idealistic warriors. People in this era maintained a pure mind and character, allowing them to make great moves far beyond the imagination of future generations.

Faced with the ancient gods who wanted to erode the world, people in ancient times chose to self-destruct and completely eliminate the ancient gods' ambition to directly erode the world.

Then came the heyday.

The heyday is also known as the age of immortals. After the death of ancient humans, the Dao and power contained in their bodies were scattered all over the world, and finally turned into the so-called "Heavenly Dao". Under the protection of the Heavenly Dao, the humans of the heyday began to perceive the Dao left by those dead ancient people, and finally became immortals.

The heyday is actually what the people of the Ming Dynasty called the "ancient times", because there are not many classics left from the real ancient times. According to Jiang Li, after the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China, the heyday also died, and most of the gods and immortals died, or survived in other forms.

In this era, the minds of immortals are not pure, and they do have some thoughts on competing for fame and fortune, but the premise of their cultivation is to be close to the pure way of heaven, so they also have the world and justice in their hearts.

Then, it was the sunset era.

This is a term that Zhou Li and Jiang Li researched themselves. In the eyes of many immortal cultivators, this era is thriving, the path to immortal cultivation is smooth and open, and a state of vigorous vitality and flourishing development is still before their eyes.

but.

Those who know the truth understand that the path to immortal cultivation in this era has been completely cut off. The demise of the heyday has led to an extreme decline in the connection between the Way of Heaven and humans. The Way of Heaven has also been damaged and can no longer interfere with humans as before.

In the sunset era, the path to becoming an immortal was cut off from the beginning. The ideal of "becoming an immortal" in the hearts of all immortal cultivators was a joke, just like Zhou Li's "being a good person" existed but was unnecessary.

"Why do you think there is a sunset era?"

On the roof of the dormitory, Zhou Li carried Tang Wan and sat next to Yun Baibai. Facing this girl who was one of the few who knew that the fairy world was dead, he asked, "Yun Shen, what do you think?"

"People's hearts are no longer the same as before?"

Tang Wan asked.

What Tang Wan said is actually not without reason. Whether in the ancient times or the heyday, the decisions made by those people are admirable. The self-destruction in the ancient times and the choice to become a god in the heyday have allowed humans to continue to survive. But in the sunset era, the immortal cultivators began to become more "mortal". Although they still retained the basis of the resonance of the immortal way, they have also begun to have a "mortal heart".

Zhou Li said nothing, just looked at the bright moon in the sky.

"I think... this shouldn't be the reason."

However, what Tang Wan did not expect was that Yun Baibai looked at Zhou Li's cheek and said softly: "Every era has no shortage of people who dare to be the first in the world. The arrival of the sunset era may just be the sunset of the fairy world."

"But, after all, this world belongs to humans."

Tang Wan was stunned.

She then realized that the so-called sunset era was just talking about the "immortal cultivation world". However, in the sunset era, spiritual cultivation has occupied a large proportion, and soldiers with dragon and tiger energy also have impressive power.
