Not a god

Chapter 165 Emperor Yan
"It seems... it was successful this time."

Big Yiyi, let's call her that in my mind, this is the second person he brought from the so-called 'Millennium World'.

Unlike Wanwan, the second person brought here failed in the previous few attempts.

After studying for a long time, Chen Xi discovered the problem, which was spiritual power.

The enormous spiritual power in Emperor Yan's body could not pass through him to enter and exit the two worlds. The total amount of spiritual power that could enter and exit the boundary could not exceed Chen Xi's own. After trying many methods, she used a form similar to that of placing divine thoughts on a paper figure, and then let Chen Xi bring it over.

Why is it that Emperor Yan cannot pass through the Daluo Heaven, but Jiang Xiaowan can? That is because Jiang Xiaowan is a spiritual practitioner and does not have much spiritual power.

Inside the house, a tall and cold woman looked around the unfamiliar environment. With a height of nearly 1.8 meters and the same cold face as Jiang Xiaowan, she really looked like a empress in a fantasy novel.

"Is this the world before the revival of spiritual energy?"

Chen Xi explained: "Spiritual energy has been revived for more than 20 years, but the scale is relatively small and weak. The past six months have been more intense, and the real big changes are still some time away."

The so-called real big change is that the rules of the dreamland completely change the real world.

At that time, all kinds of demons and ghosts will really appear in the world.

Not only that, the mountains will grow taller, the land will spread a hundred times wider, and the rivers hundreds of miles wide are not exaggerated myths.

"I see……"

The previous second, she was standing in Jiang Wanwan's room, and the next second, she was still standing in the same place, but the world was completely new.

A thousand years ago, Yan Di had also experienced the world before human order was destroyed by Dreamland and Evil Corpses, although he was only one year old during that period.

When I was about one year old, I was probably abandoned by my parents and ended up in an orphanage with many other children. I don’t know what happened later, but I started wandering around and the world was in chaos.

However, the memories of that dilapidated orphanage and of wandering and stealing outside are too fragmented.

Even if Yan Di recalled it now, he only knew that he had such an experience before following Jiang Wanwan. If you really want to say how much real it was, there was none at all.

Therefore, she did not feel pitiful when she was a child, nor did she feel that she had lived a miserable life.

Ever since she could remember, she was picked up by the King of Fengdu and brought with him. Later, she was settled in a safe human town. Later, she became Daluotian. Her life was going really well.

However, she was indeed very curious about the world a thousand years ago, the world where social order had not yet been destroyed, the wonderful and colorful world that Jiang Wanwan talked about.

Not only has the decoration of the house changed a lot, how should I put it... the atmosphere, the atmosphere of the whole world is different.

To use Jiang Wanwan's words, the elements are the same, but the style and BGM have changed.

The April sun shines in through the window, the curtains are disturbed by the morning breeze, and the tiled floor is dazzling. From here, you can hear the children downstairs cheering and chatting with people in the neighborhood.

Chen Xi was never used to this larger version of Emperor Yan.

Indeed, one can see a bit of Yi Yi in her face, but the current Chen Yi looks silly all day long. This big Chen Yi has no baby fat on her face, and shows the ability to think with her brain. One can feel that she is a mature intelligent creature. This feeling... is very strange.

She asked, "What's that noise?"

"washing machine."

Hearing this, Emperor Yan understood and nodded, then examined the layout of their house and asked, "Are you still putting talismans on the doors?"

"That's the auspicious message for the Spring Festival post."

She looked at the red paper on the bedroom ceiling and read the words on the water: "Outstanding... flat..."

"Safety."

"I know. I know the word 'An'. It means peace and safety for all."

"In and out."

"Yes, it's a polyphone. The teacher in town said so."

"..." Chen Xi took back his previous thought.

And he couldn't understand why this person could be so serious and calm when saying such stupid things, and her calm expression had a strong sense of déjà vu. Chen Xi turned around and saw Jiang Xiaowan... and solved the case in seconds.

At this time, Jiang Xiaowan came out of the bathroom and glanced at her, saying calmly:

"Remember, you are not allowed to cause trouble here, and you are not allowed to cause trouble for your brother. Also, if you die in this world and I cannot recover your spiritual thoughts, your real body will also be in trouble."

"... Long-winded."

"Do you know?"

"..."

The relationship between these two people seems to be more than just friends. Although Yan Di's tone has always been indifferent, Chen Xi always feels that Yan Di is a little afraid of Jiang Xiaowan.

However, at this moment, a little kid with a twisted butt walked out of the room.

Chen Yi was holding a toy in her hand and sang a nursery rhyme in a strange voice.

"Good Yiyi, good baby, mom and dad both praise you..."

Chen Yi passed by the living room and saw that her parents were there. Not only her parents, but also another one... Huh?!
When she saw the tall adult, she was obviously stunned for a moment. She stood there, and the little girl's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Although she didn't know this person, this person had appeared in the picture that Chen Yi's little head could not distinguish and recognize!

Yan Di was also stunned when she saw this little guy, but she soon felt that this little guy had the same power as herself.

She remembered that they said that the 'self' at this stage was adopted by them.

Little Chen Yi raised her head and looked up at Emperor Yan with her chubby face. Their eyes met in the air.

"This little thing is me now...?"

Emperor Yan looked at the little girl, and for some reason, he felt a little pressure in his heart.

Then, the little girl with a 'dizzy' look in her eyes ignored herself and walked towards her father, slapping her little butt with her little hands:

"Daddy, poop, Yiyi, poop, poop..."

Chen Xi picked her up, and Emperor Yan beside her couldn't hold back any longer.

"and many more!"

What is this? Who can bear to see a young man taking his younger self to the toilet?

She argued with reason, but the little guy didn't want to be taken to the toilet at all. As the sound of the toilet flushed, Yan Emperor felt that his dignity, pride, and many, many precious things were all flushed away.

The little girl stumbled out, ran in front of her, and looked up at her.

"are you going?"

"Yiyi is done!"

"It's your turn!"

In little Chen Yi's eyes, this big person had been stopping her just now, so she must have wanted to go too.

Tilting his head to look at the adult, Chen Yi found that her face looked very strange.

This is what happened when Yiyi wanted to go to the toilet but couldn't find her father anywhere... Suddenly, little Chen Yi's eyes lit up with some confusion, and she ran away again.

Then she pulled her father over, pointed at Yan Di who was doubting his life, and asked Chen Xi to help her...

"..." Emperor Yan had an expressionless face. He stood up and left the place. When Jiang Xiaowan called him, he came back and sat down obediently.

She picked up the remote control on the sofa and accidentally pressed it to turn on the TV. She was a little scared by the sudden noise and explained to Chen Xi that she did nothing and that the black box suddenly became like this and it was none of her business... It gave her a feeling that her life was very miserable.

Afterwards, he was quickly attracted by the magical object of television and sat there concentrating on watching "Super Wings".

Little Chen Yi was watching beside them, holding her doll Shark. She really liked watching TV recently, regardless of whether she could understand it or not. Chen Xi took a look and saw that the two, one big and one small, seemed to get along well, and then went back to the room to wake someone up.

After finishing his housework and waking up the sleepyhead, Chen Xi prepared to take Jiang Xiaowan to apply for an ID card and take her along as well.

"Emperor Yan is here..."

Chen Yi in the living room saw her mother get up. Even though she had just been beaten, she still came over like a pig, humming and wanting to play with her.

"Wanwan, do you want to go with me?" Chen Xi asked, "If you want to go, change your clothes quickly."

"No, I've been going out every day these past few days, and my energy for staying at home is seriously low!"

Jiang Wanwan looked at the little girl who ran to her and looked up at her. She raised her eyebrows and said, "The Queen Mother has woken up. Why don't you pay your respects?"

Xiao Yiyi's expression suddenly became serious, as if she had been trained to know etiquette. She bowed deeply to Jiang Wanwan, and said something incoherently.

Jiang Wanwan grabbed her arms, lifted her up, and held her in front of him, swaying with every step.

Since she had to stay at home to take care of the children, Chen Xi took the two of them out. After going downstairs, Yan Di said indifferently: "That thing called TV is pretty good."

Jiang Xiaowan said calmly, "We can't do it over there."

“…I didn’t say I wanted to make one.”

"Even if there is electricity, no one in your world would film the show."

"I said I didn't say I wanted it!"

At noon, Chen Xi took Jiang Xiaowan to the police station to apply for ID cards. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Chen Xi still used some power that was not known to outsiders.

Having enjoyed the treatment of a privileged class, Chen Xi felt deeply guilty and secretly decided in his heart that after getting his ID card, he would seal this power.

Coming out of the police station, Chen Xi couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?" as he looked at the tall woman on the side of the road.

Her tone was full of wisdom: "How was this building built? How could it be so high?"

A very standard problem of visitors from another world has arisen.

In the old neighborhood, the buildings are all five or six stories high. Here in the city, buildings of more than thirty stories high do not exist in the world of decadent folk customs a thousand years later.

Chen Xi didn't know where to start, "The power of modern science and technology."

"They live so high up, climbing up and down every day, they must be exhausted!"

“There is an elevator.”

"An electrified ladder?"

"...I'll take you for a ride when I have a chance."

"Sit down for a minute?" Emperor Yan raised his eyebrows, with a look that showed that she was not going to fool him: "Isn't it that you climb the ladder?"

"Brother, don't bother with her. She's a fool."

"Only a fool would call someone else a fool... That's right."

Yan Di pretended to be relaxed and said, "Just now, two men suddenly came to me for something. Is this the norm here? They ask for things from people on the street."

"What did they ask you for?"

"What prestige do you want? Ask me how much prestige I have and give them one... I told them I couldn't give them that kind of thing anymore, but they still pestered me, so I beat them up..."

She looked at Jiang Xiaowan, who had no expression on her face, and said in a very serious tone:

"It's not me who started the trouble first. They were the ones who made trouble first. And I was very gentle in my attack. I didn't put in much effort."

However, seeing Jiang Xiaowan's face getting colder and colder, Emperor Yan tried to hide his guilty conscience with seriousness and became a little anxious: "Really don't blame me, it's obviously them who are making trouble for no reason!"

"..." Chen Xi reached out and rubbed Jiang Xiaowan's head: "It's okay, it's not like you're causing me any trouble. This is what you should do when you're being harassed."

"Look, look, this, that, everyone says I'm right!"

"Chen Xi."

"Xiao Chendu..."

stare--

"Brother Chen, Brother Chen said I was right."

Although they had only known each other for a short time, Chen Xi had roughly figured out the character of this Yan Emperor. He was like a child who liked to pretend to be an adult, but his mental age was probably that of a high school student.

In fact, if we really go by the length of his experience, Yan Emperor should have lived for more than a thousand years, but there are not many signs of time on his body.

Through observing Jiang Xiaowan and Emperor Yan, Chen Xi realized that the so-called gods might really just be ordinary people who possessed great power and could live a very long life.

That’s not right. If an ordinary person lived that long, he would definitely not be like them.

When people get old, they are always different from when they were young, and their emotions always become indifferent.

For a child who is just beginning to come into contact with the world, everything is new and interesting in his eyes, and everything in this world is worth exploring. However, an old man in his eighties is the only one who is truly not happy about the spring breeze, not sad about the autumn wind, and not sighing about the winter snow. In their eyes, everything is just ordinary.

Like in the fairy tale novels, those immortals who have experienced many disasters have long since forgotten all emotions. These immortals are not happy with things, nor sad with themselves. In the end, they are like a statue without emotions, and they have turned themselves into a piece of stone. Indeed, the stones on the roadside can survive for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years, or even millions of years, but does that really make sense?
Is there any difference between living like this and being dead?

There is a very famous sugar water experiment in psychology, in which mice are given equal amounts of sucrose water and plain water. This experiment is designed based on the rodents' preference for sweet taste and is used to detect the animals' depressive behavior.

The final result is that after a series of experiments, the mice's intake of sugar water and plain water changed from the original 7:3 ratio to a 1:1 ratio.

They no longer have any preference for the things they originally liked. They are just mice, but they have achieved what the human "enlightened masters" said: have no desires and no demands.

But they are not immortals, they just suffer from anhedonia and depression.

Look at Emperor Yan and others. Even after thousands of years, their mentality has not changed much. They still look at the world with the mentality of their youth. Perhaps this is the correct way to achieve immortality.

Feeling the world and the past thousands of years, they stand in the long river of time, and their hearts will never be corrupted by time.

However, at this moment, two young men with bruised faces and noses walked out of the police station, wearing branded clothes, followed by several police officers.

"That's the guy!"

"You beat someone up and you didn't run away?"

"Sir, this is the woman who beat people in the street and in front of the police station. We can't discuss this privately. We can't discuss this privately. Let her stay in jail for a few days!"

"We didn't fight back at all. There should be surveillance here, right?"

When the two young men looked, they saw that next to this beautiful star-like woman, there was another woman with an equally stunning appearance, but for some reason there was also an ordinary man standing next to her.

However, they have no time to care about these things now. Damn, this woman is not destined to be a person? Why does it hurt so much to hit someone?

But he is also a brainless person, daring to beat people outside the police station.

But they didn't notice that the two young police officers behind them looked at each other in surprise after seeing Chen Xi.

Although I don’t know who this great god is, but he could make their boss go back to the bureau early in the morning, wait for a whole morning, and then personally receive someone just to apply for an ID card. Could he be an ordinary person?
To put it bluntly, if they were the ones causing trouble and beating people, then that's all they can do. What can these two little comrades do?

Moreover, these two guys are ruffians. Looking at the girl's appearance, you can tell what happened without having to guess.

"Comrade police officer, it's her. She called her accomplices after beating someone up, right?"

The two policemen's faces turned black. After they walked over, they said hello to Chen Xi, then seemed to come out for a walk and went back home.

Two men: “???”

"!!"

The sky in Jiangcheng has darkened!
