#1916 - The Last Words of the First Taotie
“Destruction power? What is that?” Ji Dongfeng asked.
“God-born beings are numerous and extremely powerful, but the stronger they are, the more likely they are to generate negative emotions during cultivation. Therefore, there are beings specifically responsible for absorbing these negative emotions regularly. These emotions are converted into energy, which in turn nourishes the god-born beings, allowing them to cultivate faster,” the first generation Taotie said.
“However, the conversion process is somewhat slow. Before the conversion is complete, there must be beings responsible for guarding it. Taotie are the beings responsible for guarding it. To be precise, it is the energy of the Taotie that is guarding it. The Taotie don't need to personally watch over it. As long as the Taotie lineage continues, the energy of the Taotie will continue to suppress these negative emotions. This is why a new Taotie is born immediately after the old Taotie dies. The Taotie must exist forever, otherwise those energies will lose control, and no one can say what will happen then.”
Upon hearing this, Ji Dongfeng frowned slightly and said, “This reminds me of the Inner World of Hongzhu Old Deng, which also gathers the negative emotions of various beings from Honglin.”
“He was inspired by the Taotie's suppression of negative emotions, so he came up with the idea of this Inner World. Moreover, the negative emotions of Honglin beings are completely different from the negative emotions of god-born beings,” the first generation Taotie said.
“The reason why the God Realm is called the God Realm is because the beings within it are like gods. When a god is angered, all realms collapse. That is a realm you cannot even imagine right now.”
Upon hearing this, Ji Dongfeng's mind flashed back to the scene when he encountered the Fool. At that time, he really didn't have any power to fight back, and that was just a wisp of the Fool's divine sense.
“Wait, the reason why that Mingyue has always wanted to become a true Taotie is to control these negative emotions?” Qingfeng asked.
“That's possible. Tenth Generation, you must always remember this mission. The Taotie lineage cannot have any problems. Most importantly, once you sense that this lineage may be occupied by tainted things or other beings with ulterior motives, you must immediately end yourself and let the Eleventh Generation be born, thereby escaping the crisis. The Second Generation lost this part of the memory, and these memories have never been passed down, but fortunately, there haven't been any major problems in the middle…” the first generation Taotie said.
Upon hearing this, Ji Dongfeng said in a deep voice, “Senior, so you… ended yourself back then?”
“That's right. I saw through it. Even with heaven-defying abilities, I am ultimately not Heaven. I came with a mission, and the mission is far greater than my life,” the first generation Taotie said.
Upon hearing this, Ji Dongfeng said, “With me here, the Goddess will not have any problems.”
“I hope so,” the first generation Taotie said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Qingfeng glanced at Ji Dongfeng, and then said, “There is still one thing I don't understand. Since the Taotie is so important, why does fate dictate that each generation of Taotie can only have one? If there is no such restriction, the Taotie would definitely be able to grow stronger…”
Upon hearing this, the first generation Taotie chuckled and said, “You also said it, grow stronger. But sometimes, these four words are not what the heavens and earth want to see.”
“Alright, my time is almost up. This remnant soul is the last trace I left in this world. After this remnant soul dissipates, my corpse will also disappear. Ji Dongfeng, Tenth Generation, you must find a way to completely free the Liuli Small World from the control of the Underworld God as soon as possible. If I guessed correctly, that old thing is currently frantically searching for Liuli's whereabouts.”
“Senior, I still have a question. How has the Underworld God survived for so long? I see that its aura is powerful, but it is still within the ninth heaven of the Netherworld Hong Tree…” Ji Dongfeng asked.
“It possesses a method to infinitely extend its lifespan. Ji Dongfeng, I must remind you that the Underworld God has a powerful backer, otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to live until now,” the first generation Taotie said.
Upon hearing this, Ji Dongfeng smiled and said, “So it's about backing! I've never been afraid of anyone!”
“Senior, one last question. Why did you insist on coming to the Netherworld Hong Tree back then? And you are a being from the God Realm, why did you enter Honglin?”
Upon hearing this, the first generation Taotie smiled and said, “Regarding this question, you should ask Netherworld.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Taotie phantom slowly rose into the air, and its huge body gradually became translucent.
“Tenth Generation, come here,” the first generation Taotie said.
Upon hearing this, Qingfeng's eyes turned red and said, “I remember.”
“Good, then Ji Dongfeng… not bad, is a person who can change the world. Now that the two of your powers are combined, you can unleash the complete Taotie power… There are too many things I want to say, but never mind, let me say one last sentence.”
“Protect yourself…”
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of breeze blew, and the remnant soul of the first generation Taotie completely dissipated, and the isolation barrier set up by Dong Sheng also disappeared.
Upon seeing this, Dong Sheng sighed and said, “Alright, I also have to complete my last mission. Ji Dongfeng, do you want to know what the Taotie inheritance that the Underworld God has been searching for is?”
Upon hearing this, Ji Dongfeng's heart stirred, and not far away, Xian Datong, whose face was pale, also changed his expression, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his heartbeat accelerated a lot.
“Oh, I almost forgot, I have to sweep away the trash first.” Dong Sheng felt Xian Datong's gaze, his face turned cold, and with a wave of his hand, he directly slapped Xian Datong into the territory of the Giant Ape clan.
“I %¥¥#!”
Listening to Xian Datong's angry scolding, Ji Dongfeng smiled and said, “If I guessed correctly, that inheritance is hidden in this Liuli Small World, or rather, it is this Liuli Small World itself.”
“Smart, this Liuli Small World itself is the true inheritance treasure of the Taotie Lord!” Dong Sheng laughed loudly.
“This land, the beings on this land, are all cultivated by the Taotie Lord with countless treasures!”
“Boom!”
In the next moment, the Liuli World trembled frantically. Ji Dongfeng's heart stirred, and he looked down, only to find that the entire small world began to bloom with precious light.
“The so-called Taotie inheritance is not countless treasures at all, but a world created with countless treasures! Originally, this world should have been inherited by the Taotie, but you can now be considered half a Taotie, so let's decide who to pass it on to.” Dong Sheng said, taking out a purple stone.
“This is the treasure that can completely control this world.”
