Chapter Sixty: The Truth
Uh...... Juu, will you sleep like this again? I couldn't help but ask as I looked at Juu with sleepy eyes.
Yeah, in recent years I still sleep a lot, but unless something unexpected happens, it shouldn't reach the point where I completely can't receive external messages. After all, I really want to sleep, so Jiu gave a relatively moderate answer, but seeing the host's face slightly frowning, he added another sentence, as long as you talk to me, I should still be able to respond immediately.
Yeah! I gave Jiu a brilliant smile, Jiu knows what I'm afraid of, it's great.
That's right, it seems like I... received a power from the outside world that shares the same origin as mine, which allowed me to wake up suddenly. Do you know what happened?
Yes!
I told Jiu everything from the moment I heard the call, to searching, the taste of water, the cave in the mountain, the imprisoned child, multiple personalities, and staring into the heterochromatic eyes of the child, as well as all my thoughts and emotions in between.
"Amber-colored eyes? Kyuu fell into thought, and after a short while, suddenly asked me a question. Do you know about the Blood Succession Limit?"
I nodded.
Do you know what the origin of Blood Succession Limit is? What created the first Blood Succession Limit? Was the first Blood Succession Limit really developed by humans alone?
I looked puzzled.
The original Blood Inheritance Boundary was developed a thousand years ago by humans in pursuit of power to counter the demonic beasts...
If human power is not enough, then make up for it from outside! Use the power of the demon beast to fight against the demon beast.
The emergence of this idea was not unexpected in an era where monsters roamed freely!
Capture and study low-level demonic beasts, form pacts with mid-tier demonic beasts, offer tribute to high-ranking demonic beasts...
It's hard not to say that humans' obsession with power is frightening even to us demons, they can experiment on their own kind without hesitation.
Infusing the essence of the demon beast's power into human bodies, and making it heritable to the next generation. The success of these two sentences represents an endless canvas of flesh and blood, both human and demonic.
Blood Succession, Blood Succession, this name was stained with blood from the very beginning! Whether it's the tester's blood or the blood of the demonic beasts that died in the experiment.
And so, the initial form of Blood Succession Limit appeared!
Then what? The Blood Succession humans began to suppress the activity range of mid-to-low-level demon beasts, and many demon beasts became extinct. Next, in less than a hundred or two years, the Blood Succession humans were rejected and hunted by their own kind, and most of the mid-to-low-level strength-type demon beast blood successions were exterminated. The blood successions that have been passed down to the present are mostly those with special functions, and those that can be passed down to the present with pure combat as the main focus are extremely powerful!
What Jiu said... is the truth, but Jiu didn't tell me all of it. I can sense that due to the seal of the fourth generation's purpose, Jiu and my heart are almost connected, between us there can only be concealment, but never deception. Just like how Jiu knows I have things I won't say out loud, same with me towards Jiu.
So, what Jiǔ wants to say is that the child has the first generation of blood inheritance, and the source of this first generation of blood inheritance is likely to be the Yāo Hú (Demon Fox) clan.
Because Jiu is the strongest existence in life with this power, any homologous power cannot harm him or his symbiote, just like no matter how much river water is poured into the ocean, it cannot affect the ocean, at most causing some waves. However, once the seawater backwashes, the entire river embankment will collapse.
So, under Jiu's explanation, I only knew that my coma was not caused by this child, but mainly due to the resonance of two homologous forces, which is the main reason for my coma.
"What's wrong, Jiu? You've been so quiet all of a sudden," I asked, puzzled.
Do you know the origin of the nine-tailed demon fox? Yuu suddenly blurted out a nonsensical sentence.
The language at this time has a kind of inexplicable emptiness.
Jiu wasn't looking for my answer, but rather was closer to organizing his own thoughts, just like my brother and sister, so I didn't speak up to disturb Jiu.
Since ancient times, there has been a tribe of fox demons, but only one branch is the nine-tailed, and the nine-tailed not only represents the king among the fox demons, but also the only king...
"Father died and mother passed away, nine sons survived one", only such a demon fox has the qualification to become a nine-tailed...
The father's blood is on the pregnant mother's body, and the mother's flesh and blood are us who have just been born, the only food.
In the years that followed, you had to taste the lifeblood of all eight brothers and sisters before you could qualify to become a nine-tailed beast, just qualified. Jiu seemed to be reminiscing about something, speaking very slowly.
That group of children's old three, strength is extremely weak, except for having a fiery red fur, he has nothing.
He, wasn't even comparable to his sister who was a senior ninth rank, so he didn't have a name. Because the weak weren't qualified to own names, and also because food didn't need names... In the demonic beast world, the weak were equivalent to food...
That old nine-tailed fox inherited the most perfect and strongest power from their father, the Crimson Lotus of Purgatory... Originally, she was the most likely to become the new generation's Nine-Tailed Fox...
But?
She's too foolish, foolish to the point of not wanting to become a nine-tailed beast for the sake of a weakling, foolish to the point of giving a name to this weakling, foolish to the point of protecting a weakling because of a promise, and in doing so killing her own brothers and sisters, and finally, foolish to the point of sacrificing her own power to save a weakling, disappearing without a trace...
She raised her head, with a face full of melancholy and nostalgia.
I have never seen this proud and arrogant life show such a fragile expression before.
I couldn't help but ask, "...... what's that old man's name?" But as soon as I said it out loud, I regretted it - wasn't this forcing someone to rip open his scars? I immediately added, "Sorry, Jiu, let's just forget I said anything, okay?"
Jiu gazed at me quietly, suddenly closed her eyes, let out a sigh, and smiled softly: Hehe, this is just a story, a past story, nothing more...
And that old three, because of the color of his fur, that old nine took a homophonic heteronym as his name, "Hong", single name "Hong".
Most of the demon beasts are named after the moon, but only a few upper-class kings have the honor of being named "moon". The fox tribe is no exception. Each generation's nine-tailed fox king will be named with "" (moon) at the end of their name, and each generation's nine-tailed fox king's name is inherited. The first generation nine-tailed fox king
The name is just "Yi"………..
That old nine was the first to inherit the surname "Kitsune" with eight tails as the ninth generation of "Nine Tails".
Jiu saw the worried look on my face, and his originally despondent expression quickly changed as he stretched out his claws to mess with my long hair again, revealing a sly and evil grin. Hahaha, gotcha! Kid!
Ah! I was scared! Hehe, okay, stop messing with my hair, stinky Jiu. My hair is all messed up now! If this is what you wanted, then I'll just pretend to be deceived! Because before I can tell you my real name, I don't have the right to question whether what you just said is true or false, no matter who you are, you're still Jiu, the genuine article.
The two of us exchanged a knowing look, and some things are just best left this way. Saying anything would be pointless, it would only end up hurting both of us.
There is no verbal attack more hurtful than this one.
