I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 125 History
"I found the record about the black magic weapon!" Li Ming raised the ancient book in his hand that looked like a large dictionary.

"Oh?" Dad narrowed his eyes and said, "That's just right. I found a record about the Eastern Demon Dragon Lord. Let me read it first."

"This is 'A Study of the Past of Gods and Demons.' Legend has it that in ancient times, humanity was enslaved by gods and demons. To change this situation, our wise and intelligent ancestors sought to understand the reason why gods and demons possessed such immense power. They claim that gods and demons feed on air, making them immortal. Their mystical powers allow them to move mountains and fill seas, while their bodies are so powerful they can withstand thousands of mountains."

Li Ming raised his eyebrows and immediately said, "Gods and demons seem to correspond."

"That's right, refining the mind and cultivating the body!" Dad said slowly. "Although the master is from the Purple Tulip Empire, he inherited the legacy from a master from China. Therefore, he was deeply influenced by Eastern thought. After the age of thirty, he has been pursuing mysterious and extraordinary powers. Since you have obtained the master's notes, you must have some understanding of these things."

"Ancient Eastern practitioners are divided into two categories. One cultivates the spirit, focusing on the soul and possessing profound Taoist techniques. The other cultivates the body, possessing a strong physique and being invulnerable to water and fire. Over the years, I have never given up on my master's pursuit. I have traveled across oceans, visited many places, and gathered a wealth of information. I've discovered that no matter what system it is, it's ultimately divided into the same categories. Believers in the gods are divided into knights and priests. Knights have strong bodies, while priests can cast various divine arts. There are also fighters and magicians, sorcerers and warriors. This is no accident!"

Dad said this with certainty, while holding up the book in his hand and pointing to that line of words.

"Humanity was unwilling to accept this fate, so it stole the power of the gods and demons!"

Dad emphasized the word "steal".

Then Dad paused, raised his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and continued reading.

"After gaining power, humans declared war on the gods and demons. Some of the gods and demons grew tired of this kind of life, and the flames of war spread from humans and gods to their own people. The war lasted for an unknown amount of time, until the Emperor of Heaven was born. He created the heavens and took the gods away."

After reading this, Li Ming said, "So, there is no real difference between gods and demons. It's just that those who voluntarily leave the human world are called gods, while those who are unwilling to leave are called demons."

Dad nodded and said, "The truth of these histories has long been buried by time. Only clues remain, and we need to dig out the fragments from the fragments. This is also my interest. I can't believe that you, at such a young age, are so interested in these things. When I tell Chen Long about them, he usually falls asleep before he hears a hundred words."

Li Ming smiled and said, "People are different. I think he will become an archaeologist, probably because of your influence, Dad."

Dad didn't answer, but continued reading.

"The flames of war gradually subsided, but humanity did not win. Although most of the gods had passed away, the power possessed by the demons was still beyond human control. Five of them were the most powerful and each formed their own faction. They called each other brothers and ruled the world together. They are the Demon Dragon of the East, the White Tiger of the West, the Phoenix of the South, the Giant Turtle of the North, and the Black Qilin in the center!"

"The Emperor of Heaven is merciful and cannot bear the suffering of all living beings. He sent down divine soldiers to destroy the demons that remained in the human world. However, the demons were too powerful, and even the gods in heaven could not completely destroy them."

The records about the gods and demons come to an end here. The following long passages begin to talk about the mysterious origins of gods and demons, and express disdain for the origins of some other mysterious powers.

The old man closed the book and said, "According to the book, the five most powerful demons each ruled an area, which seems to correspond to the current world situation."

Li Ming frowned and said, "But if he puts it that way, then wouldn't that mean the Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Qilin? These are all auspicious beasts, so how could they be demons?" His father said, "Perhaps ancient people worshipped the powerful, and the power of those demons was deeply rooted in people's minds, so they were passed down as totems. Okay, tell me about your side."

Li Ming responded and then opened the "Dragon-Source Record" in his hand.

"The dragon, as a totem, was first discovered in the ancient capital of Aristan, where it served as a symbol of power. In the East, it is generally believed that the dragon's bloodline runs through the royal family. Legend has it that the first emperor of the unified era was the incarnation of a dragon."

Dad interrupted, "Can you get to the point?"

Li Ming smiled and said, "Okay!"

Then he flipped through the book quickly, and finally stopped at one place. Li Ming pointed and read.

"The body of the Demonic Dragon Lord was crafted into magical instruments of magical power: the immortal dragon heart, the boundless dragon fangs, the dragon horns that command the world, the dragon eyes that destroy everything, the indestructible dragon claws, the incomparably hard dragon armor, and..."

"This part has been erased, and it seems to be a long section." Li Ming raised his head and said, "Perhaps we can find some other versions that may reveal other information."

The old man shook his head and said, "Most of the books here are unique. It's hard to find the same books again. You know how precious ancient books are. Master's wealth and status allowed him to collect so many. I have only been summarizing and summarizing them over the years. It took me a lot of effort to remove the duplicates and redundant ones."

"There's another story that follows. The original possessor of the Dragon's Secret Treasure led the tribe and the people to a better life. However, the good times didn't last long. As time went on, those heroes who held the Dragon's Secret Treasure became greedy, arrogant, and evil one after another. Without exception, their bodies began to transform into dragons. It turned out that the residual dragon aura on the Dragon's Secret Treasure was too strong, and the possessor would eventually transform into a demon and become the dragon's minions. Therefore, righteous men gathered together, defeated the heroes who once held the Dragon's Secret Treasure, and sealed the magic weapon around the world, finally eliminating this disaster."

Li Ming then closed the book, looked at his father and said, "Is this what you meant by the magic weapon having the effect of bewitching people?"

Dad nodded and said, "Only mystery can fight mystery. With the current level of technology, it is impossible to control the erosion of this invisible force. It's not that I don't want to hand it over, I'm just afraid that it will corrupt those 'bigwigs' and cause a greater disaster. Besides..."

Li Ming asked, "What's more?"

Dad sighed and said, "This one is the most dangerous magic weapon."

"What is it?" Li Ming asked again.

"The heart of the dragon that possesses the power of immortality." Dad shook his head imperceptibly, not knowing whether it was for the human heart or the dragon heart.
