Chapter 303.2: Lian Shi’s Origins (1)
He laughed softly and then said slowly. “The Dark Night Demonic Tribe, is a race of people in far ancient times that possessed the most powerful bloodline in cultivation. It is said that because their descendants inherited the devilish nature of their ancestors in their blood and that is why they are born evil and highly bloodthirsty, rejected by the world, and can only live within darkness.”
“Are there really demons in this world?” Qing Yu could not help but mutter out that question aloud.
Lian Shi looked at her and laughed, and in that pair of violet eyes, it seemed they carried a hint of a smile.
“Yes, there are. Millions of years ago, not only were there demons, there was G.o.d and also all kinds of fairies, sprites and monsters, it was chaos. At that time, G.o.d wasn’t the one ent.i.ty holding reign over all that is light yet, all the demons and humans did not want to fall behind, though they failed to do so in the end.”
Qing Yu listened intently as she lifted her eyes up to look at the calm and composed man. She then opened her mouth to say: “You seem to know an awful lot.”
“Ha.” Lian Shi scoffed with a slight arc of his lips and then said in an indifferent voice. “You might not believe it when I tell you this, but I am a person who has survived all the way from those far ancient times.”
After those words came out, Qing Yu arched up an eyebrow to give the man a measuring look as she asked skeptically: “Are you trying to tell me you’re now already tens of thousand years old?”
She had heard from Lou Jun Yao before that the longest living person in Cloud Heaven was merely just a few thousand years old, and once they come to reach a certain level in their cultivation, their looks will never ever change anymore, but to become frozen at the age they attained that level of cultivation.
And this fella here, looks like he has not even reached his thirties, but he is actually already that old…..
It was really a little hard to believe.
Thinking about that, Qing Yu then opened her mouth to ask again. “You are also descended from the Dark Night Demonic Tribe?”
If he was of the demonic race, then he would surely have a much longer lifespan. So, for him to be able to live from those times till now, it wasn’t all that strange.
But, the man shook his head lightly. “No.”
“I am just an ordinary human. All in all, just a human blessed with great gifts.”
“Human?” The expression on Qing Yu’s face was a little surprised. “Then why are your eyes…..” That did not seem to make sense.
Lian Shi’s face slowly broke into a faint smile. “Why not I tell you a story, if you are willing to hear it.”
“I’ll be honoured.” Qing Yu nodded as she said.
Lian Shi then began to tell his story in his soothing voice.
That’s right, His story.
A very long time ago, there was a person. He dreamed of an impossible dream to pursue the secret of immortality.
