I stole divine power in Daxia

Chapter 600: Life and Death Succession
The golden spine runs down Guanguan's smooth back, like a crouching dragon!
In Zhou Tieyi's eyes, this spine that is less than one foot long is a real dragon, no less than any dragon vein in the world, and even far better!
This is not just the power of the Confucian sage's bones. Thinking about the last thing the Confucian sage did, Zhou Tieyi immediately had a guess.

He said softly, "Holy Emperor."

Guan Guan turned his head and smiled, "My husband is indeed very smart."

"Extremely smart. That's not a very nice compliment."

Zhou Tieyi said this sarcastically, but his eyes became more serious.

Now he knew why the Emperor of Daxia had not fallen from the throne at that time. Many priests of the ancient gods, even the phantom priests, did not dare to go deep into Yujing Mountain. However, Guan Guan, the blood priest, could go deep into Yujing Mountain because there was also a big dragon on Guan Guan's body.

The reason why the Great Xia Emperor, who was on the saintly throne at that time, was so powerful was because he could make absolute use of the Great Xia national destiny. There was almost no force in the world that could compete with the extremely powerful Great Xia national destiny and hide itself at the same time. If there was any force, it was only the Holy Emperor, the former ruler of the world.

In a sense, the current destiny of Da Xia is derived from the incomplete power of the Holy Emperor. Therefore, the emperors of Da Xia only have the lifespan of mortals, rather than living for 500 years like the Holy Emperor and ruling the world for 500 years.

What Zhou Tieyi was even more curious about was how Guan Guan got this spine. Was it done by the Blood Sea Lord's lineage, or someone else, or was it Guan Guan himself?
Considering that Guan Guan said her real age was not much older than hers, Zhou Tieyi was more inclined to believe that this was a spine transplanted into Guan Guan by someone else.

Guan Guan also knew that Zhou Tieyi was curious. The reason why she told Zhou Tieyi about this was because she didn't want anything unexpected to happen when they entered the sea of ​​blood later, which would prevent Zhou Tieyi from reacting in time.

She knew that this spine in her body, which originated from the Holy Emperor, had a great purpose, so it was the source of her secrets and power, but also the source of her danger. Now she wanted to get rid of this shackle on herself, but the person who placed the Holy Emperor's remains on her body would definitely not agree.

"How did you get this Saint Emperor's remains?"

Guan Guan turned around, and her blood automatically transformed into a long skirt. The skirt was like a blooming Lycoris radiata flower, pure and charming. It was precisely because of the Holy Emperor's spine that Guan Guan refined the "Compassion Poison for All Living Beings" on the spine. This way, she could ensure that she would not be quickly eroded by the "Compassion Poison for All Living Beings", and at the same time, it could ensure that it could play the greatest role at the critical moment.

"I just praised my husband for being smart, but why did he suddenly become stupid?"

Guan Guan's expression turned cold, "If you were the one who placed this vertebra, would you let the recipient know what was going on?"

Zhou Tieyi nodded, that's the truth.

Guan Guan continued to explain the details, "I only know that this vertebra has been on my back since I can remember. Of course, this is not necessarily true, because memories can be modified."

In order not to influence Zhou Tieyi's judgment, Guan Guan gave explanations after the things he was unsure about.

"But some things cannot be modified, and some reasons can be speculated."

"what?"

"How can a person bear the power of the Holy Emperor's spine?"

Guan Guan said in a cold voice, "I have read all the books in the Blood Sea. Although I am not very knowledgeable over the years, I have traveled all over the country. There is only one possibility for an ordinary person to bear the power of the Holy Emperor."

"Bloodline."

Zhou Tieyi and Guan Guan said at the same time.

Historical records show that the Holy Emperor had no offspring, but now it seems that the Holy Emperor not only has offspring, but there is a high probability that these offspring are in Xuehai's hands.

Guan Guan tells a piece of history that is not recorded in historians.

"My husband should have some guesses about why the Holy Emperor fell."

Zhou Tieyi thought for a moment and said, "The Confucian Sage set a destiny to suppress the world's human ways for 500 years and prevent people from practicing the way of God. Therefore, the Holy Emperor was born. Therefore, the source of the Holy Emperor's power is actually the destiny that the Confucian Sage fell from the holy position in exchange for. It can be said that in a sense, he inherited the holy position of the Confucian Sage, even if this holy position is only for 500 years!"

The saint's throne can be inherited and even has a time limit. If this news spreads to the world, it will definitely cause an uproar.

Guan Guan added, "In order to realize this destiny, the Confucians stole the bones of the Confucian saints. The bones left in the academy are just a phantom of the saintly way."

Because the human race had just suppressed the Nine Ancient Gods at that time, and the human race was stronger than ever before, this matter was kept secret until my husband was born.

"If we want to discuss how the bones in my body were inherited, then we must discuss how the Confucianists made the bones of the Confucian saints be inherited by the Holy Emperor."

Zhou Tieyi had a bad feeling. He consulted the history books and found that the easiest way to inherit the power of a saint was through blood. This was the case for the Heavenly Master of Xuandu Mountain and the Sishenggong of Confucius Temple.

Then the Holy Emperor should have come from the Confucius Temple lineage, but historians did not record or publicize this matter. Instead, as in the myth of his previous life, the Holy Emperor had a mother but no father. His mother bathed by the Tai'a Mountain and sensed the nine-colored divine light. She gave birth to the Holy Emperor after three years of pregnancy.

This was originally a sacred myth, but when thinking of the skeleton that Guan Guan had been emphasizing, Zhou Tieyi couldn't help but have horrifying, even blasphemous guesses in his mind!

For ordinary people, the spread of genes and bloodlines requires people to be alive. However, for saints, they have the concepts of life and death almost at the same time, so they spread their genes and bloodlines even when they die!
Seeing Zhou Tieyi's expression change, Guan Guan knew that Zhou Tieyi had guessed it, and she sneered, "The human race prospered, and was known as the Hundred Schools of Thought, but not all of them were decent people. In order to fight against the way of gods, the Hundred Schools of Thought used to do everything they could. They tried every method they could think of." "Among them, there was a branch called the 'Corpse Family'. This branch of the Hundred Schools of Thought was also very powerful in the past, no less than the current Nong Family. But later, as the human race stabilized the world, their doctrines were destroyed by the human race itself, because these doctrines could disregard human ethics in pursuit of power!"

Guan Guan continued to explain this secret, "In the era when the various schools of thought were born, the human race and the gods were both in conflict and integration. The human race's tradition was passed down from the doctrine that my husband left in the academy, but many of the human race's cultivation methods evolved from the power of the other nine ancient gods. This Shi family has integrated the power of the Emperor of Life and Death, the Lord of the Sea of ​​Blood, and the Earth Mother, thus forming a taboo secret technique called 'Succession of Life and Death'."

"Under normal circumstances, the stronger the strength, the more difficult it is to give birth to a bloodline. In many cases, the birth of their bloodline even symbolizes some kind of change in the world."

Zhou Tieyi nodded, he understood this deeply.

This is also the restriction that this world, and even the universe, imposes on living beings.

"But the bloodline bred by the strong when they were weak is difficult to truly inherit the strength of the strong, and in many cases it is not much stronger than ordinary people. At that time, the human race and the Shinto race fought one after another, and the human race needed a method to ensure the stable inheritance of power, so that they could deal with the resurrection of the Shinto race."

After a god reaches the fifth level, as long as the sacrifices to the gods themselves are not destroyed, they will have a chance to come back to life. The reason why Da Xia has had an absolute advantage for so many years and still cannot completely wipe out Yuan Meng is because of the gods' own advantages.

A god can almost fight one against three in the kingdom of God. Even if he dies, he may be resurrected within a few decades. However, if the human race wants to train three third-grade gods within a few decades, it is unknown how many people they will have to choose from.

Since humanity is facing this problem now that it is at its strongest, then the human race also encountered this problem in the past.

Although the human race had three saints and five emperors in those days, at the same time, the lineage of the nine ancient gods was even more powerful. Apart from the combat power comparison of the top saints and sub-saints, the combat power of the human race at the third, second, and even first level could definitely not lose much to that of the gods.

"So they figured out how to have sex with corpses?"

Zhou Tieyi spoke out this outrageous fact. No wonder the human race would completely destroy the Shi family's tradition after gaining control of the world. At that time, for the common survival of the human race, the hundreds of human families could do anything. But now that the human race has been able to survive successfully, this secret technique that goes against human ethics will naturally be destroyed.

Guan Guan burst into laughter, a laugh that was filled with extreme anger and ridicule, because she was also a beneficiary and victim of this secret technique.

"Yes, the so-called 'Life and Death Succession' method is to pass on power to future generations through the union of life and death. Therefore, the descendants born through this method are born 'living dead'. Their personalities are destined from birth to have a different understanding of the universe from normal people. They are warriors cultivated by the human race, but they are also feared by the human race and cannot be integrated into the group. Because they are the product of the union of life and death, they are like a mule born from a horse and a donkey. They are born to work hard for the human race, but they have no offspring of their own."

Zhou Tieyi showed a look of understanding. It turned out that although historians would not tamper with history, the facts and results obtained would be completely different if the historians used more or less words.

According to the records of historians, the birth of the Holy Emperor was so sacred that his mother sensed the great fortune of the human race and gave birth to the Holy Emperor.

But in fact, his mother did sense the good fortune of the human race, but this good fortune of the human race was not innate, but obtained by humans through cruel means.

Now Zhou Tieyi has a better understanding of humanity and the holy way.

The holy way is unkind and treats all things in the world as straw dogs, so the fittest survive. In order to survive, humans can of course abandon so-called ethics and morals.

At the same time, the will of humanity and the fortune of humanity can never be some kind of natural flow. They will not flow to lower places like water, nor will they take from the surplus and make up for the deficiency. All the fortunes of humanity must be caused by human factors.

Behind the seemingly coincidental events, there are hidden secrets that you cannot know.

"Since my husband already knows how the Holy Emperor came to be, then he probably also understands how this part of my spine came to be."

"When the Holy Emperor fell, he died suddenly. Although the Confucians had expected it, they certainly did not predict the exact time, so they were not prepared. As a result, the five largest clans in the court at that time, that is, the bloodlines of the Five Emperors, split the world."

At this point, Guan Guan showed a mocking expression, "The Five Emperors were busy fighting for the world at that time, so the Shinto, who was suppressed to the extreme, was able to fight to the death and snatch the bones of the Holy Emperor. But I still don't know how many bones the Shinto got. I only know that since I have a spine, there should be more bones circulating outside. This time when we enter the sea of ​​blood, we may meet a few people similar to me. My husband, you must be careful."

······
After refining the 'Poison of Compassion for All Living Beings', Guan Guan told Zhou Tieyi her biggest secret to put him on guard. The two did not waste any more time and said goodbye to the abbot of Qinglian Temple. Guan Guan continued to drive her boat towards the deeper part of the sea of ​​blood.

The surrounding sea water was completely blood red, and the sky became cloudy and uncertain due to the power of the two saints, the Blood Sea Lord and the Buddha, so it was impossible to distinguish the direction. This was also one of the reasons why the Blood Sea was not navigable for so many years.

But Guan Guan was able to follow the source of his own power and keep moving towards the place where the Blood Sea Lord fell. Suddenly, a thick fog rose around him, and the fog was so thick that nothing could be seen.

The next moment, the water under the boat the two were riding on suddenly surged. It was a red whale lurking underwater. When it opened its mouth to hunt underwater, the entire water surface seemed to have lifted up an island. The terrifying suction force swallowed everything within hundreds of feet around it into the whale's open mouth.

Zhou Tieyi did not act rashly. First, Guan Guan could handle the whale. Second, they had not encountered any attacks from blood beasts along the way because of Guan Guan. But now this sudden attack must be something unusual. He needed to save some energy to deal with other changes.

Guan Guan, who was holding a bamboo pole at the stern, faced the blood beast Island Whale, which was comparable to the second-grade one. He knocked the bamboo pole in his hand towards the surface of the blood sea, and suddenly the waves under them seemed to have life. The waves formed two forces. One force pushed the boat out quickly and escaped from the huge mouth. The other force was in the body of this huge blood beast. The blood flowing in its body like a river began to control the body of the blood beast, allowing it to leave this place.

The will of the blood beast is completely driven by killing and madness, and it cannot be controlled at all. The same is true for the Blood Sea God System. Although they cannot control the will of the blood beast, the Blood Sea lineage is best at controlling blood, so through the flow of blood, the Blood Sea lineage can also drive away the blood beast.

But what was supposed to be an easy task for Guan Guan suddenly became complicated. Not only was she unable to control the huge island whale in front of her, but her blood was twisting like a little snake under her own jade-like skin. There was also an old man in blood-colored clothes blocking the way for the boat.

Guan Guan saw the person coming and said softly, "Teacher."
