469: Chapter 127 The Truth of the Dark Ages_1 469: Chapter 127 The Truth of the Dark Ages_1 Guan Yan inford Xiaofan that the source of Yan Xiao’s power was resentnt, and to weaken Yan Xiao, the heads it devoured couldn’t carry any resentnt.
The dead needed to be calm and indifferent, but how was that easy to achieve?
Throughout the ages, death has been the one great difficulty; the fear of death and clinging to life are human nature, which is why those who face death with composure are celebrated.
Sacrifice, after all, is rare.
However, the “Offering” of the Senhai Holy Clan was precisely the reason why Yan Xiao grew so quickly in reality.
Because the “Offering” of the Senhai Holy Clan was never a voluntary sacrifice, it was always an “offering of soone else’s head.”
Through Xiaofan, Guan Yan suggested that the Senhai Holy Clan stop the offerings and choose to defend their ancestral lands, using the long passage of ti to weaken Yan Xiao.
This plan was feasible.
The entire Senhai Holy Clan could retreat to the Divine Shade Land, and once Yan Xiao knocked on their door, they would only defend and not counterattack.
Even though casualties were inevitable, Yan Xiao might not be able to persist for long.
Moreover, once the loss of power began, the losses each year would decrease.
It was foreseeable that such a choice would result in severe casualties for the Holy Tribe, but the outco was clear—they would surely move towards the light.
In fact, if the Senhai Holy Clan had so understanding of Yan Xiao from the beginning and hadn’t hurriedly killed it, perhaps everything would have been different.
But things had developed to this point.
Under his Divine Skills, Jiang Wang and the others moved calmly through Guan Yan’s mories, leafing through the Forest Sea Source Realm of that period…
At that ti, the Senhai Holy Clan still operated under an elder council system, with a group of seven elders deciding on the tribe’s major affairs.
After confirming the authenticity of the ssage conveyed by Xiaofan using their own thods, the elders made a choice that completely exceeded Guan Yan’s imagination!
The elder council of the Senhai Holy Clan believed that stopping the offerings could possibly lead to Yan Xiao’s uncontrolled rampage in anger, and the Holy Tribe could not bear such losses.
As long as the offerings didn’t stop, Yan Xiao couldn’t harm the mbers of the Holy Tribe without reason due to the requirents of the ritual.
Since Yan Xiao needed to devour resentnt to grow, they decided to let those offering their heads die without any awareness.
Without any awareness, naturally, there would be no resentnt.
After all, it wasn’t the people of the Senhai Holy Clan who were dying.
The elder council of the Senhai Holy Clan used forbidden thods, borrowing the power of the Dragon God to create the “Night Attack.”
Su Qiyun had always been seeking the truth about the “Night Attack,” and only in Guan Yan’s mories did she see its origin.
The process that ford “Night Attack” was complex and hard to replicate.
But its essence was the leakage of the “world source” and the invasion of Chaos.
In the nights of the Forest Sea Source Realm, without the protection of the Divine dragon wood’s Divine Power, everyone would fall into a deep sleep.
Those who fell asleep would succumb to Chaos unless they were linked to soone awake.
(A gaze is one form of “link.”)
In the sudden occurrence of the “Night Attack,” massive numbers of the Human Race perished.
This was the true reason for the near-extinction of the other tribes in the Forest Sea Source Realm!
The reason “near” is used is simply because no one has ever reached the end of the Forest Sea Source Realm, so it cannot be completely confird.
Those empty wooden houses and cave dwellings silently speak volus.
Such a scene of horror was palpable, even to Jiang Wang and the others, from such a transcendent perspective, they could feel Guan Yan’s trembling at that ti…
It was Xiaofan who risked sneaking out of the tribal lands and ignited the heart of the Divine dragon wood, allowing Guan Yan to escape from sleep.
After experiencing the “Night Attack,” Guan Yan finally understood.
The dark period of the Forest Sea Source Realm appeared to be caused by Yan Xiao on the surface, but essentially, it was due to the evil thoughts of the Senhai Holy Clan.
Upon reviewing history, it turned out that Divine Shade Land was not exclusively owned by the Senhai Holy Clan but was a sacred land shared by many tribes.
In ancient tis, the Senhai Holy Clan was just a powerful tribe.
It was by expelling all other tribes that they ca to possess the Divine Shade Land exclusively.
Later, they even claid the most ancient Divine Shade Land as their ancestral land and called themselves the Holy Tribe.
They assud a fundantally different nature, born to be above all other tribes.
In the dark era, the Senhai Holy Clan had already twisted their thoughts and hearts into darkness.
They worshipped brutality and bloodshed, plundering freely, and killing had beco their nature.
He harbored illusions about this group of people because of Xiao Fan, but Xiao Fan was the only exception in the Senhai Holy Clan…
Buddha has a heart of compassion, yet also the fierce eyes of Vajra when enraged.
The angry Guan Yan burned the relics, manifested Vajra, and attained God Arrives.
Alone, he killed the Senhai Holy Clan’s Elder Council, and almost wiped out all the Holy Tribe warriors who had acted as willing tools for the tyrants at the ti.
In the final monts of exhaustion, he supported Xiao Fan to beco the sole priest of the Holy Tribe.
He revised the Senhai Holy Clan’s history and guided them to form the tradition of ‘hunting each other’.
Over the course of more than five hundred years, he weakened Yan Xiao, and also ingrained honor and sacrifice into the Senhai Holy Clan’s very bones.
And he himself, the Divine Coming Body decayed, his lifespan exhausted.
Only a speck of True Spirit remained.
Unable to exist in Chaos yet trapped in this realm, he could not be reborn and could only drift through the cracks of the world.
…
Having withdrawn from the thought connection, Jiang Wang and the others felt mixed emotions, but all were deeply shaken.
In Jiang Wang’s view, the most admirable aspect of Guan Yan’s actions was not the weakening of Yan Xiao or orchestrating his death five hundred years later, but his teaching of the Senhai Holy Clan.
He transford the Divine Shade Land, which had once bred darkness and bloodshed, into the now serene and peaceful land.
The fact that the Senhai Holy Clan now had people like Qing Qishu, who dared to take on responsibility and make sacrifices, was a testant to Guan Yan’s educational achievents.
It was truly an imasurable rit!
Guan Yan, who possessed his thought connection, could naturally sense Jiang Wang’s thoughts.
“Buddha is rciful, and there is retribution in cause and effect.
Perhaps it is this small amount of rit that has allowed my True Spirit to endure for five hundred years.
I have also groped for so cultivation thods based on True Spirit.”
With just a speck of True Spirit, he was still able to explore cultivation and even made so real progress!
Guan Yan seed unaware of his own astonishing achievents and looked at Su Qiyun with a gentle expression, “That is why I was able to borrow your God-Hosting Jade and temporarily manifest a form.”
That’s not all, you can still use Divine Skills.
Wu Quji silently lanted in his heart, but quickly realized that in front of Guan Yan, thinking this was as good as saying it out loud.
To cover himself, he deliberately let his thoughts wander.
Guan Yan gave him a look that was both absent and knowing, finding the thoughts he sensed sowhat amusing and sad.
Su Qiyun opened her mouth, “Those records…”
Guan Yan t her gaze seriously, bowed slightly, and apologized to her.
“I compiled those records, intentionally leaving clues for future arrivals to target Yan Xiao and avoid any unexpected developnts.
For my presumptuousness, I apologize to you, Miss.”
The records in the Holy Tribe’s library were also part of Guan Yan’s “legacy”.
Not only did he “remold” the history of the Holy Tribe, but he also left such arrangents, so calling him exceedingly thorough would not be an exaggeration.
Jiang Wang had so doubts back then, but could never trace them back to this.
Who knows, if Zhongxuan Sheng had been there, he might have discovered sothing sooner.
At this mont, Su Qiyun’s feelings were incredibly complex.
Having been led by Guan Yan’s past sches, she had reason to be unsatisfied, but she did not harbor resentnt.
She had sought the truth behind the Night Attack, and now that it had been revealed, her target for revenge had already been erased by Guan Yan over five hundred years ago, leaving her feeling a sense of aimless loss.
“To show my apology…” Guan Yan said to her, “I preserved a speck of your friend’s True Spirit in Chaos…”
