The Mangdangshan soon arrived at the Northern Star, where Zhongli was welcomed by everyone.

Everyone is very grateful to Zhongli for his previous contribution to this person who turned the tide.

Facing the welcome from everyone, Zhongli just nodded lightly and said nothing more.

Arriving at the conference room, Sun Wukong, who often did not appear, had been waiting in the conference room for a long time.

Originally, Auxerre had two solutions. On the one hand, it was to activate Dongfeng, and on the other hand, it was to let Sun Wukong go to support.

However, due to the appearance of Zhongli, all the previous two plans have been shelved.

But because Sun Wukong was wary of Zhongli, he took the initiative to participate in this meeting.

After a few minutes, everyone arrived and the meeting officially began.

Huang Lao: "Mr. Zhongli, for the help you have provided us before, I am here to thank you on behalf of the people of Juxia City.

If it weren't for your appearance, even if Sun Wukong had gone to support, the necessary damage would still have been done."

Facing Mr. Huang's thanks, Zhongli said as if comforting his younger generation.

"It doesn't matter, this is part of the contract I signed with your ancestors."

Hearing this, Mr. Huang nodded.

As for Zhongli's tone, which was like comforting a junior, he didn't think much about it.

After all, as Zhongli said, although he looks old, he is only over sixty years old.

Although the opponent looks young, according to the lifespan of a super soldier, he can be considered a young man if he is several hundred years old.

After Zhongli answered Huang Lao's question, Sun Wukong immediately asked.

"Since you signed a contract with the people of this land, why didn't you take action when aliens invaded before?"

Zhongli: "Those alien creatures are not within the scope of the contract. The demon god Osel you see is just a creature that originally existed on this planet.

I used to be one of them, but when I saw your ancestors, I was moved by their hard work and bravery. So I signed a contract with them and helped them build their own home on this land.

At the same time protect them from the invasion of other demons.

As for those alien creatures, they were not within the scope of the contract we signed, so when they invaded, I did not take action.

If it really comes to the final step, then I will also take action to protect your safety. Although this is beyond the scope of the contract, I don't want to see your destruction."

Zhongli picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip and tasted the tea inside.

Upon hearing Zhongli's answer, Sun Wukong's eyes immediately appeared with a look of vigilance.

"Are you also a so-called demon god? If so, I don't think that just because of human reasons, you should give up your strange identity and fight against other demon gods."

Faced with Sun Wukong's doubts, Zhong Li understood that this was not Sun Wukong's doubts. It was the doubts in the hearts of the ordinary people around him. However, since he had just helped these ordinary people, he could only use Sun Wukong to ask this question.

Zhongli: "Since you raised such a question, why don't you think about why you, in the body of an animal, are willing to help humans?

Although your behavior is similar to that of humans, in essence, you are not human. Instead, you should belong to the group of demons.

In this case, why don't you ask yourself? Why do you want to protect these weak humans, and what benefits can they bring to you?"

Faced with Zhongli's rhetorical question, Sun Wukong didn't know how to answer for a while.

Why should we protect human beings? In fact, Sun Wukong himself doesn’t know. He only knows that he was born on this land and was influenced by his honesty. He wants to protect this land and the ordinary people living on this land.

As for why he wants to protect these people, Sun Wukong found a reason for himself, that is, he is the patron saint of these people.

The scene fell into silence for a while, but soon Zhongli put down the teacup in his hand and spoke.

"In my eyes, you are all my children. And a father does not need a reason to protect his children.

I have been guarding this land for five thousand years. I was born when you called it the ancient era.

There were other demon gods born with me. Some of these demon gods love peace, and some love war.

To them, humans at that time were just like ants in your eyes, weak and dense creatures.

The massacre is just to pass the time. In the eyes of the devil, human beings have a lifespan of only a few decades or even a hundred years. They are simply extremely weak creatures. From the moment they are born, it seems that they are just for the sake of killing.

It exists to kill the devil's time.

Many of the monsters recorded in the book you call "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" are actually former demon gods.

But as time goes by, some of them have died in the hands of other demon gods, some have gone crazy because of their own wear and tear, and have understood life by themselves, some have hidden themselves and integrated into your human society, and some have

, was sealed by me in every corner of this land.

In short, many things that once really happened have become myths in your eyes because of word-of-mouth transmission by you humans.

For me, this is history. But for you, this is just some myths passed down by our ancestors."

Facing Zhongli's answer, everyone present, including Sun Wukong, was stunned.

As the oldest person in the world besides Zhongli, Sun Wukong has been born for a long time or a short time.

In the short term, Sun Wukong is already about 1,500 years old. In the long term, compared to the five thousand years that Zhongli has been guarding this land, Sun Wukong's age is really not that long.

Therefore, everyone present was surprised by Zhongli's identity, so much so that the real purpose of this meeting was almost forgotten by everyone.

After a few minutes, Sun Wukong was the first to react.

"If everything is as you said, then why have I, Old Sun, never heard of your deeds despite staying in this land for so long?"

Hearing Sun Wukong's question, everyone present reacted. Their eyes were full of longing. They all had the same idea about Sun Wukong's doubts.

When Zhongli heard Sun Wukong's question, he didn't answer immediately. He just sighed softly, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, Zhongli spoke calmly.

"I was born in this land more than 7,000 years ago. The moment I was born, I already knew the authority I had.

Gu Kuo

I have absolute control over the earth. I am a demon god born in the earth. The land under my feet can be manipulated at my will.

Before I integrated into human society, my name was the Demon God of Rock, Morax."

Hearing this name, everyone in the Xiongbing Company nodded, because in the previous battle, the demon god named Oser mentioned this name.

Zhongli: "At that time, humans had not yet developed their own civilization, they existed in the form of tribes.

Although unlike other demon gods, I like to kill humans. But to me, humans are also a group of weak insects.

Compared to weak humans, I prefer to challenge those powerful demon gods and defeat or even kill them. This is what I have done most in the two thousand years since I was born."

After hearing Zhongli's narration, everyone also had corresponding pictures in their minds. In that era when gods and demons arose, there was such a powerful being, challenging those powerful demons everywhere, and conquering those demons that were difficult for humans to reach. Defeat or even kill.

Thinking of this, the eyes of the boys present were full of respect and admiration for Zhongli.

Compared to Qilin, Qiangwei and others, Liu Chuang and Zhao Xin are more likely to admire strong men like Zhongli.

Zhongli: "In the past two thousand years, in addition to challenging various powerful demons everywhere, I have also made many demon friends who share the same goals with me.

Some of them don't like to bully the weak, and some like to help weak creatures. They have to like fighting, but they like the so-called mechanism technique.

In short, these friends of mine have many interests and hobbies, but one thing is that they, like other demon gods, have a weak view of human beings."

When Zhongli talked about this, Mr. Huang, who was sitting in the main seat, asked curiously.

"Then can I ask, Mr. Zhongli, how you signed the contract with our ancestors? And how did you discover the spirit of our ancestors that moved you?"

Zhongli: "Because there is a weak and peace-loving demon, her name is Gui Zhong. In your human mythology, you prefer to call her Nuwa.

After all, she was the demon god who first came into contact with you humans. In the process of getting along with you humans, she felt the difference between you humans and other living beings.

Therefore, out of love for you humans, I finally chose to protect humans. But in that era when demons and gods emerged together, even the demon gods may not be able to guarantee their own lives, let alone those who are not good at fighting. .

So he finally found me, hoping to use my power to protect mankind. But at that time, I was tired of fighting, or in other words, at that time, there was no demon god who could match me in fighting power.

It is precisely for this reason that I made my first contact with humans for the purpose of killing time.

In the initial contact, although humans are indeed different from other creatures, the gap is not huge.

However, as more and more demon gods around me come into contact with humans, humans have also learned many advantages from many demon gods.

For example, humans learned to use fire to cook food from Maxius. Some humans also created your human language under the guidance of the devil.

In short, over a long period of time, many demon gods gradually came into contact with humans, and their purpose was very simple, just to pass the time."

When Zhongli said this, he was full of exclamations. Compared with Zhongli's exclamations, other people's expressions were very varied.

Xin Zhao: "Is there something wrong? Why do I feel like I'm reading a novel?"

When Liu Chuang heard what Xin Zhao said, he nodded in agreement.

"You're not mistaken, I feel the same way."

Qilin: "Mr. Zhongli, what happens after that? Why do you all disappear in the human history records?"

Zhongli was silent for a few seconds and spoke calmly.

"Because of wear and tear!"
