The Legend of the Demon Hunter

"God? Is there really a God in this world?" Xiao Zhu looked at Rick in confusion. He knew that the elves would not lie. Since Rick said so, it meant it was true.

"Yes, and the existence of gods is even older than that of humans and monsters. They are independent of the critical continent and possess powers that humans cannot imagine." Rick answered.

"Then how did you know this, senior? Have you seen these gods?" Xiao Zhu asked.

"I know you will ask this. In fact, I am not the only one who has seen God. Everyone who experienced the catastrophe a thousand years ago has seen God: Jin Ling'er, Yue Jiao, Zi Ye... But everyone who has seen God is dead, leaving only me."

"In fact, I almost died. I was able to escape this catastrophe because of God's carelessness. He thought I was dead and the only remaining soul would dissipate in a moment. But he didn't expect that I could survive until now with the help of the spiritual power of the Little Tree of Life... and survive until the next group of people who may see God. Maybe there really is God's will in the dark!"

Xiao Zhu was very surprised by Rick's words. Although he did not say it directly, Xiao Zhu still heard his implied meaning - God might not be as just and powerful as they imagined, especially his words "everyone who has seen God is dead", which means that God might be an evil existence.

"Senior, do you mean that gods can also kill people?" Xiao Zhu asked.

"This involves the origin of the critical continent. Although I have lived for thousands of years, I was just a frog in the well before I came here. It was not until I followed Jin Ling'er here and experienced that shocking betrayal that I gradually found clues to the matter..."

"In fact, gods, like monsters, humans, and elves, are one of the inherent races in this world, but they are born with power and wisdom far beyond other races, so they are above all things and dominate this world. Although the gods are powerful, due to the rules of destiny, their number is extremely small. According to my speculation, the total number of gods in the world is less than ten, and each of them has a strength far beyond the hunter king. To describe it in a human way, they are all boundary breakers!"

"It turns out that there really are boundary breakers in this world? It turns out that boundary breakers are gods!" Xiao Zhu suddenly realized.

"That's right. All primates have their own class. Gods are at the top of the class. It's not that they don't want to reproduce more, but because the spiritual power in the world can only sustain the existence of these few gods. Once the number of gods grows to more than ten, with the huge amount of spiritual power in their individuals, they will inevitably drain the spiritual power of the entire world, causing an imbalance in spiritual power, and then they will face a disaster of world destruction!" said Rick.

"So that's how it is." Xiao Zhu suddenly realized.

"Whether it's humans or monsters, all creatures have the instinct to pursue more spiritual power and stronger strength. Thus, humans gave birth to the Hunter King, and monsters gave birth to the so-called Beast King. Each of them tried to break through the ultimate limit, just like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, breaking through the boundary and becoming a god!"

At this time, Furukawa suddenly said, "But as you said just now, the number of gods is extremely rare. Once the number increases, it will break the balance of the world. So it is impossible for humans and monsters to break through the boundary and become gods, right?"

Rick looked at Guchuan in surprise and said, "You are right. Breaking the boundary is like a lock that locks the fate of all things, allowing gods to be gods, humans to be humans, and monsters to be monsters. All living things maintain their own fate and do not break the balance of the world. Now that I think about it, this may not be the best result."

"So what you mean is that our path of seeking to break through the boundary was actually wrong from the beginning?" Xia Shi asked.

Rick looked at Xia Shi and said, "Little sister, I didn't say that. You figured it out yourself. But judging from what happened to Jin Ling'er a thousand years ago, it is indeed the case."

Rick's words reminded Xiao Zhu of Yuan Yeying, the Falling Cloud Fairy who had escaped from the ruins of the Ancient Dragon Clan not long ago. She also said something similar: "The life span of the Hunter King is already hundreds of years. Why bother to pursue a breakthrough? Living an ordinary life may be the best choice."

Is it a coincidence that these two people have exactly the same idea?

"Senior, there is one thing I don't understand. Why did Jin Ling'er betray you a thousand years ago? And who is the god you saw?" Gu Chuan asked again. His questions always hit the point.

Rick calmed down and explained, "Well, this involves the social background of the God Clan. Haha, let's call it that for the time being! Simply put, the God Clan is not harmonious, just like humans have good and evil. The God Clan also gave birth to an evil god. I don't know the details of this evil god, and I don't even know if he is a man or a woman. I only know that his name is Amishu."

"Amixiu?" This name was very obscure, and Xiao Zhu heard it for the first time.

"Well, Amishu ignored the balance of the world and tried to expand his power without limit, and even cultivated humans as pawns to rebel against other gods. He did something extremely outrageous, spreading a mysterious bloodline that was superior to humans to the critical continent, thereby creating his puppets." Rick said.

At this moment, Xiao Zhu thought of Jin Ling'er's bloodline. He looked at the others, only to see that their eyes were also on him, which showed that they all thought of it.

"Could you be referring to... the Shura bloodline?" Because Ning Zhiwan has the same bloodline as Jin Ling'er, Xiao Zhu's voice trembled slightly when he said this term.

Rick nodded and said, "Yes, it is the Shura bloodline. This is also Jin Ling'er's bloodline, and the origin of this bloodline is the evil god Amishu. This bloodline has the ability to deprive other creatures of their spiritual power and take it for itself. This ability breaks the laws of the critical continent and is a power that only gods possess!"

Hearing what Rick said, Xiao Zhu suddenly remembered that Ning Zhiwan only took five years to break through from a high-level demon hunter to the peak realm of hunter king. This speed of cultivation is really incredible. Judging from the situation in the critical continent, except for the Shura bloodline, there are very few other bloodlines that can achieve such an achievement in five years, let alone fifty years.

The same goes for Jin Ling'er. After he walked out of the Blolan Snowfield, it took him a few years to sweep across the entire continent and became the man standing at the top of the demon hunter world!

The power possessed by this bloodline is indeed beyond imagination.

At this moment, Xiao Zhu suddenly thought of a more important question.
