Heaven City.
Jiang Yu sat in the great hall, the Celestial Human Divine Sword suspended above his head.
His connection with the God Sword was stronger than when he first descended, but it was far from being fully in his control. This was also why he let Heaven City and Earth City preserve their strength.
He couldn't understand.
Why?
He was born with double pupils and a Sword Bone, a natural Emperor.
But now, he couldn't control the God Sword, and the protagonist of Celestial Human City didn't seem to be him.
The scene of the sun and moon confronting each other earlier left him unable to let go for a long time.
Why was that woman, who descended with him, so strong that he couldn't even comprehend it?
Many Sky Clan members now looked at him without the awe they once had. The reason was simple: they all worshipped strength, and Ying Bing was far, far stronger than the person they currently revered.
Jiang Yu suspected that if Ying Bing returned one day, with just a word, he would probably have to give up his position.
“Now, it seems I am superfluous.”
“She might not have the intention of returning right now, but what about in the future?”
Jiang Yu gently stroked the sword.
Just now, the God Sword also fluctuated, seemingly called by some kind of summons, moved by the power of all living beings.
It seemed his thoughts were correct.
The power of all living beings was the key to controlling the God Sword.
“I need to speed up...”
An inexplicable irritation welled up in Jiang Yu’s heart as he pondered ways to further increase his control over Celestial Human City... Celestial Human City seemed to have returned to peace.
Li Mo once again descended upon Celestial Human City, but the actual situation differed somewhat from what he had expected, though he was unaware of it.
“Our Celestial Human City has a long history and a difficult fate. Every epoch, a natural disaster descends.”
“Fortunately, before the last natural disaster, the Emperor Jiang Yu descended, leading our Celestial Human City to a complete renewal...”
Voices entered his ears. Was this a lecture?
Li Mo seemed to have had a very long dream. When he awoke, his vision was bright, and the sunlight streaming in from the window made his eyes dizzy.
Before his eyes was a bright lecture hall, /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ where a teacher, holding a ruler, was recounting the history of Celestial Human City to everyone.
Li Mo remembered many things.
For example, this was a school built by the Sky Clan nobles in the new city after Earth City experienced its first round of natural disasters.
All the major martial artist Families of Earth City would send their outstanding young disciples to study here.
Besides the powerful martial arts created by the Sky Clan nobles, the most common subject in the school was history, mainly the glorious achievements of the Sky Clan and that Emperor.
However, he remembered more than just that. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
“But teacher, I have one thing I don’t understand.”
Xiao Li suddenly raised his hand.
All the classmates in the school immediately turned their gaze to him, with expressions of anticipating a good show.
“What is your problem now?”
The teacher looked at him with a headache.
This kid from the Li Family had extremely high martial arts talent and was intelligent, but he had one flaw.
His curiosity was simply too strong, and he often asked questions that even made him very difficult to answer.
For example, what was outside Celestial Human City, did the Sky Clan need to eat, and if so, what to eat to supplement what, did eating bitterness mean endless suffering, and did eating people mean becoming superior?
The teacher often felt like a rookie when facing Li Mo.
“You... you ask.”
“I heard those Executioners say that decades ago, the South Gate was suddenly attacked and breached in an instant, and the demons that still burn like wildfire were let in during that time.”
“That’s right, so what is your confusion?”
“Wasn’t it Han Yue Xian who turned the tide and sealed the South Gate?”
“No, it was Emperor Jiang who led many Sky Clan powerhouses...”
The teacher subconsciously shook his head. This was clearly recorded in history.
“Since Emperor Jiang is so wise and mighty, and the Sky Clan is so omniscient, why are there still demons rampant in Human City, and why do Executioners still need to go out and slay demons?”
“This is... this is to give you opportunities for experience. Born in adversity, dying in comfort. Celestial Human City cannot forget the horror of natural disasters in peace.”
Hearing the teacher say this.
Li Mo became even more puzzled.
What he saw and what he heard from the teacher were like things happening in completely different worlds.
Which of the major Families in Earth City had any sense of crisis? Didn't they all possess large tracts of land and only know how to enjoy themselves?
How many times had they taken action against demons? Yet, they spared no effort when suppressing the Mortals of Human City.
“Alright, and stop associating with those Executioners.”
The teacher was also annoyed by him, and his tone became a bit heavier:
“If you listen to too much of their twisted logic and are abandoned by the Sky Clan nobles, it’s not just you who will suffer. Be careful not to implicate your Family and suffer together!”
“There is no Han Yue Xian in this world at all!”
“Teacher...”
“Class dismissed!”
The teacher flicked his sleeves and left.
“Brother Li, the teacher’s words are really not alarmist.”
“We are blessed by Heaven’s grace, which is why we have so many rights. The Sky Clan nobles can uplift us, and they can also bring us down. Any Family without the support of the Sky Clan is like rootless duckweed.”
“Brother Li, think about it. If there really was a Han Yue Xian, and she was so powerful, why would Emperor Jiang be in charge of the Sky Clan?”
“Be careful not to displease the Sky Clan. Then you might really get your wish and have to become an Executioner.”
Li Mo’s words just now sounded like the unrealistic fantasies of a young man.
The atmosphere in the room was filled with cheerfulness.
Li Mo shook his head. He didn't like to argue with people. His many questions were just because he had many strange ideas and was very curious.
As a Transmigrator, wasn't this very normal?
By now, the school had been dismissed, and the students left in groups of three or five, chatting and laughing, which vaguely reminded him of his campus life in his previous life.
The difference was that he was quite sociable in his previous life.
As he walked out of the elegant and luxurious academy, his thoughts churned. Was there really no Han Yue Xian in this world?
Could it be... that what the teacher said was correct?
By the lakeside, the water shimmered, and the sound of flutes and strings was pleasing to the ear. Young women danced gracefully among the pavilions, singing of the achievements and wonders of the Sky Clan nobles.
This was also where many classmates went after school. Being from aristocratic Families, they had no shortage of money for entertainment.
“Please, good sir...”
A dirty hand suddenly reached out before him. It was a thin, ragged child.
His eyes were blank as he mechanically called out to every passerby.
Li Mo pulled out the uneaten beef from lunch. The child’s eyes suddenly gained Life Qi. He carefully tucked the beef into his embrace and quickly ran to the street corner.
“Mom, there’s food...” frёeωebɳovel.com
He probably couldn’t wake the woman on the straw mat no matter how much he shook her, because her body had long since stiffened.
In the teacher’s words, the singing and dancing in the lakeside pavilions were a prosperous era.
Then... what was this called?
The truth learned under the red flag said that a prosperous era for a few people was not a prosperous era.
The teacher was wrong!
Was the existence of Han Yue Xian also deliberately concealed by those with ulterior motives?
