Chapter 752: Shuang Su vs. Yi Lei (V)

When the Red Duke finished speaking, the same mist appeared again, blocking the view.

Soon, Su Yue's vision became clear again. This time, she saw another completely different bedroom, and there was still the sound of a baby crying.

But this time, the woman lying on the bed was another woman, an extremely ugly woman, no less ugly than the Red Duke before.

The midwife who delivered the baby this time was a different person, but Su Yue noticed that the woman who was handing the midwife water and towels looked very similar to the previous midwife she had seen just now, and looked like that midwife when she was young.

As the loud cry of a baby was heard, the bedroom door was pushed open, and a tall and handsome man rushed in. He walked to the bed, glanced at the woman on the bed, nodded slightly, and immediately looked at the baby in the cradle.

The baby's skin was wrinkled like an octopus, and it was as ugly as a little monster.

At this time, Su Yue understood a little.

This is the earlier past!
The one that has just been born now is the Red Duke.

The handsome husband carefully brought his ugly child to the equally ugly mother. The woman's weak and deformed face showed kind and loving care: "Child, can you fight against the gods?"

The fog reappeared and the scene reversed again. This time it was in a dense forest. An ordinary-looking village woman bit a piece of wood and gave birth to a baby alone in pain. The baby's body was also deformed and ugly.

While the other party was giving birth, Su Yue could still hear the angry shouts of a large group of people outside the forest.

The pictures changed faster and faster, one picture after another flashed before Su Yue's eyes. He saw generations of ugly babies being born, with many fragments interspersed in between.

Among tens of thousands of births, those babies born with deformities and ugliness were raised to adulthood, some became wild beasts, some hated their parents because of their congenital defects and killed their fathers and mothers, and some survived the world and lived in seclusion in the mountains and died alone.

But there is always such a person who will marry someone of the opposite sex, give birth to the next generation, and continue the bloodline from generation to generation.

The years turned back in the flickering pictures, and the flickering pictures slowly turned into a fast-forwarded story in front of Su Yue's eyes.

She saw time passing by, mountains rising and then being leveled, the surging sea turning into mulberry fields, then the mulberry fields turning into the sea, and mountains rising from the plain.

As time goes backwards, those babies who should have been very ugly are gradually becoming ordinary. I don’t know how many thousands or tens of thousands of years ago, but the babies and their parents that Su Yue saw have all become ordinary people with average looks.

The tracing of bloodline still did not stop, time still rolled back, Su Yue soon saw that those men and women became very handsome, and the babies they gave birth to were cuter than each other, with pupils as bright and moving as stars, and skin as smooth as eggs.

She saw a man and woman whose beauty could not be described in words, standing in front of a huge mountain. A giant covered in fur was knocking on the fragile stone shell on the mountain and saying to them, "The fate of a living thing is determined by its own ability, and the ability is determined by its bloodline at the moment of birth. This is the law set by the Beast King."

"No, you can change your destiny through your own efforts! Life shouldn't be like this!" the man and woman retorted.

"Then just wait, the Beast King will tell you the answer." said the giant.

From this moment on, time began to flow forward. Su Yue felt like she had turned into an eternal stone, witnessing all the changes in the past thousand years. The scenery changed rapidly before her eyes.

She saw the beautiful couple die of old age in the blink of an eye, and before they died, they told their two children to wait patiently for the answer from the Beast King. So a small town appeared at the foot of the mountain and gradually grew bigger. The village’s priests recorded the sound of the mountain wind every day for ten years.

In the 100th year, the tip of a mountain appeared upside down from the clouds in the sky and slowly fell at a speed of one thousand meters per year. After eighty years, it finally connected with the mountain on the earth.

For the next twenty years, the sun and the moon were blocked, and people could only see the sunrise in the early morning and the sunset in the evening every day.

In the second hundred years, the mountain rose again and disappeared into the clouds, and the rotation of the sun and the moon returned to normal.

The mountain peaks in the sky and the mountain peaks on the ground have touched each other ten times. For thousands of years, the sound of the wind here has been engraved on the stone slabs by the sacrifices. The towering mountain peak is a tooth of the beast king. The touch of the peaks in the sky and the peaks on the ground is the opening and closing of the mouth, and the wind in the mountains is the breathing of the beast king. The beast king's response is in the wind.

At the end of the last millennium, the old last priest linked together the sounds of the wind over the past thousand years and translated them into the ancient divine language:

[Try it. Your offspring will always inherit the defects of their parents. If your fate is not determined by superior blood, then try to fight.]

When the last priest announced the god's response to everyone in the village, the whole village fell into deathly silence.

At this moment, Su Yue seemed to be standing in the center of this group of ancestors, accepting this unwarranted punishment from God like everyone else.

Su Yue's whole body felt as if it were electrified, and she felt a strong sense of injustice and grievance, but something more shocking overwhelmed this negative feeling. That nameless emotion urged the heart in her chest to beat more vigorously than usual.

Is this her ancient ancestor?
A story even more distant than the Red Cave Song, in which people at this time were punished by the gods because of a rebellious statement made by their ancestors who had died a thousand years ago.

No... In the eyes of God, this is not a punishment at all, it is even a merciful teaching.

The couple's views were not offensive to God, because to God, the truth could not be wrong. The couple were just foolish and insignificant believers, and he wasted a word to customize a "course" for this tribe to glimpse the truth.

However, for the people of this tribe, the process of verifying the truth is more like a curse that they have to endure from generation to generation.

They bear this curse... and it has nothing to do with them, just because of an ignorant questioning by their ancestors thousands of years ago.

From then on, this tribe began an endless arduous journey, generation after generation... constantly deteriorating, constantly weakening, their appearances becoming increasingly uglier and more embarrassing, their bodies becoming increasingly frail and inconvenient, and even so, they still maintained above the bottom line of being able to reproduce.

In the thousands of years since they had been cursed, their people had not felt any discomfort at all, because the deterioration of their bloodline was so slow, as difficult as evolution.

But as time passed, the curse became like a dusty shackle that gradually became heavy and eventually became too much to bear, and the Red Duke's ancestors were finally forced to begin to face the true trial.

How long it is,
There is simply no end.

Countless strange yet understandable voices rang in Su Yue's mind, and heavy and broad emotions filled those short words.

In their conversations, some people complained about the injustice of fate and the selfishness of their parents; some people came to terms with their cursed fate and lived in seclusion; some people turned into demons out of hatred; some people decided to cut off the curse chain that depended on reproduction...

"Why...why do I have to suffer like this, why did my parents give birth to me?"

"How should I live? I should live like a wild beast, abandoning my human identity and gaze, and also abandoning the hatred and shackles of this race."

"Don't have any more children. Let my generation end all the suffering."

But in addition to these, Su Yue also heard a voice, very soft, but it was impossible to ignore. It was the question of the ancestors of all generations.

"Child, will you fight against the gods?"

Millions of years later, she, a tiny descendant, saw the outcome of that struggle from an insignificant perspective.

In the 700th year when the Silver Moon was knocked off its edge by the Summer Hunt, the clan that failed to leave a name met the skinny and sick dog that was also cursed.

They defeated the gods under the complete moonlight.
