The system gave me immortality, and I survived everyone

As soon as he finished speaking, the two figures disappeared at the same time, and Liu Yidao finally felt relieved.

"Whoo~"

"Those two plagues are finally gone; they almost scared me to death."

Seeing Liu Yidao's relieved expression, Mo Bai couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Yidao, who are those two people?"

"You want to know?"

"If Brother Yidao is willing to speak, Mo Bai is all ears."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yidao pointed to the boulder beside him, and the two sat down.

Looking at the azure sky, Liu Yidao sighed, "Actually, it's quite relaxing to be around innocent kids like you."

"It's a pity that the mortal world is like a dye vat; no matter how pure you are, once you enter, you will become colorful."

"Sometimes, I really wish people like you could die on the battlefield, so that you might at least have a peaceful end."

Liu Yidao's tone was very sincere, and Mo Bai thought for a moment before speaking.

"Brother Yidao, that doesn't seem like a nice thing to say."

"That's certainly not a nice thing to say. As for why I say that, I'll explain it to you later."

"Didn't you just want to know their identities?"

"Now I'll tell you, their names are Long Ji and Bie Chen, and they were the forbidden land prodigies during the dark and turbulent period."

Upon receiving this answer, Mo Bai raised an eyebrow and said, "I see. No wonder Brother Yidao kept his knife in his hand the whole time."

"However, there is one question that I am still very curious about."

"Can their strength compare to that of the Holy Emperor and the other seniors?"

"Ah!"

Faced with Mo Bai's question, Liu Yidao smiled dismissively.

Why is Brother Yidao laughing?

"Of course, it's a joke about how some people, when there's no tiger in the mountain, can be ruled by monkeys!"

"Brother Yidao, are you implying that the Holy Emperor and others are all just empty names?"

Mo Bai asked tentatively, and Liu Yidao turned to look at him seriously and said, "I'm saying they're all hype!"

"Don't even mention Chen Xiao, even if Chen Xiao, Jun Lin, Xu Qianzhu, and that Ruan Suxian all came here together, I would still say the same thing."

"Mo Bai, let me ask you, what are they like as recorded in history books?"

Looking into Liu Yidao's eyes, Mo Bai pursed his lips and said, "Historical records show that when darkness and turmoil came, countless sages fought bravely to resist."

"During this period, countless geniuses were born, saving the world from peril."

"Among them, the most outstanding of the younger generation are the Holy Emperor and others, because they overpowered the geniuses of the forbidden land and delayed the arrival of the Dark Turmoil."

"Humph!"

"They talk a good game but actually backfire, claiming to overpower the geniuses of the forbidden lands. Do they really have that ability?"

Liu Yidao made a sarcastic remark, then calmed down and said, "They were dazzling figures of this era, so it's reasonable for history books to glorify them."

"But since I have some free time today, I'll tell you the truth about what happened back then."

"Is the history book not the truth?"

Hearing this, Mo Bai was somewhat surprised.

It is understandable that history books embellish certain individuals, but when this contradicts the truth, it becomes perplexing.

"History records the truth, of course, but only from one perspective. Now I will tell you the truth from another perspective."

“During the dark and turbulent years, all the righteous prodigies were defeated, including the Holy Emperor you mentioned.”

Mo Bai:? ? ?

"Brother Yidao, are you kidding me?"

"I'm not joking. During the dark and turbulent period, none of the righteous geniuses were a match for the geniuses of the forbidden land."

“If we had wanted to, we could have wiped out every single one of those geniuses from the forbidden area back then.”

"Then why didn't you do that?"

Mo Bai asked subconsciously, and Liu Yidao clicked his tongue and said, "Because the Imperial Tutor was standing behind the righteous prodigies at that time. If we took a forceful action, the situation would deteriorate instantly."

"This is forbidden by both the forbidden area and the Imperial Tutor, so the two sides' prodigies did not engage in a large-scale battle."

"It's a pity that the Forbidden Land of Heaven was defeated later, otherwise Chen Xiao and the others wouldn't have had the right to be so arrogant."

Such a shocking truth was hard for Mo Bai to accept for a moment.

Just how strong are those geniuses from the forbidden area?

"I really can't answer this question. Let me give you an example and you'll understand."

"At the time, I switched sides and supported the righteous prodigies, but even so, their lives were still not easy."

Mo Bai:? ? ?

"Why are you supporting the righteous prodigies now? Aren't the prodigies from the forbidden areas gaining the upper hand?"

"The Forbidden Land's prodigies do have the upper hand, and the Forbidden Land has also gained a certain initiative. However, I believe that the Imperial Tutor, who is at a disadvantage, will win, so I switched sides at the last minute."

"Later events proved that our choice was correct."

"Even the mighty Forbidden Land could not escape the fate of defeat, and we, the once glorious geniuses of the Forbidden Land, were also treated as expendable pawns."

"If we hadn't planned ahead, we wouldn't be alive today."

"The victor is king, the loser is villain. We accept losing to the Imperial Tutor, but we have never lost to people like Chen Xiao."

As he spoke, Liu Yidao took out two jars of fine wine.

He casually handed a jar to Mo Bai, and Liu Yidao picked up the jar and drank it down in big gulps.

Looking at Liu Yidao, who was guzzling fine wine, and then at the wine jar in his own hand, Mo Bai said softly.

"Brother Yidao, you guys have always been unwilling to accept this, haven't you?"

"I'm fine, after all, I don't like to show off, but others are definitely not happy about it."

"In terms of talent and strategy, we are no less than Chen Xiao and his ilk."

"The Imperial Tutor's trial of the mortal world caused the loss of several prodigies from the forbidden lands, and the Imperial Tutor's trial further resulted in heavy losses for us."

"But even so, we still haven't lost."

“If the forbidden land hadn’t abandoned us, we wouldn’t have ended up like this.”

"Now our former underlings have become glamorous big shots, while we can only be rats in the gutter."

"For the sake of this pitiful dignity, these forbidden land prodigies are naturally unwilling to emerge into the world."

After saying that, Liu Yidao continued to drink heavily.

Mo Bai pondered for a moment, then also took a big gulp.

"Brother Yidao is trying to tell me that those who achieve great things need to assess the situation and act accordingly, right?"

"wrong!"

Liu Yidao put down the wine jar and said seriously, "All those things that just happened only illustrate one point: you can only have everything if you are alive."

"We are alive, so we have a chance to avenge our defeat."

"Chen Xiao and the others are alive, so they can enjoy everything they have now."

"Whether it's us surviving rats or the current heroes of the era, the path we walked back then wasn't exactly glorious."

"Those who adhere to etiquette and follow the rules are now buried with grass three feet high."

"You are a good child, and even more so, a good child with a pure heart."

"If you don't understand this principle, your fate will definitely not be good."

"The master asked me to teach you because he wanted me to say this."
