Even the Immortal Lord, one of the ancient immortals and demons, couldn't explain why.
Who can be sure that the catastrophe that almost swept across the three realms of heaven, earth, and human beings, destroying hundreds of millions of creatures, and making everything seem like chaos reopening, will happen again?
Li Ye also knew Zuo Yujie's purpose of coming.
It's not just to reminisce about old times with him, nor is it to show friendship to the Confucian sect.
More importantly, he saw the thoughts of Confucianism.
"Confucianism, you want me to be the son of this calamity?"
I learned the identity of the Demon Lord from the Confucian School, and even told him in such detail about the horror of the ancient catastrophe. The Demon Lord was the son of the previous Ying Jie. All of this was just for this step.
Li Ye spoke up for him, "The Confucian sect has never interfered with secular affairs in these years, but every generation has a Confucian sect that is born, probably to find candidates who can cope with the disaster, am I right?"
He has always been curious about the purpose of the existence of the Confucian sect. He does not participate in any disputes in the world, does not join forces with any imperial sect, and never competes for those rare treasures of heaven and earth.
The real transcendence is more mysterious than the two holy places.
But nothing is absolute, Li Ye has always believed in this.
If they are really a group of worldly masters who have nothing to seek, why do they need to select one practitioner from each generation, and why do they allow Zuo Yujie, who has a close relationship with him, to show their good will now.
"As you said, the purpose of Confucian practitioners in the past generations being born is to find the son of the calamity."
Zuo Yujie did not deny it. After all, now that the Confucian sect asked him to come to Li Ye, he was actually preparing to tell some secrets. And there is no use even if he denies those things. For millions of years, although the Confucian sect is mysterious, it has never been
Not disclosed.
Some imperial sects and ancient clans with ancient inheritance actually know it in their hearts.
After all, over millions of years, there have been dozens of practitioners who came out of Confucianism, and it’s not like they haven’t found suitable candidates.
However, the catastrophe never came, and those people either left in the end, or became great Confucians in the weird Confucian sect.
"When it comes to my senior brother's generation, there are forty-nine Confucian practitioners."
“Who were the previous generation?”
Li Ye was very curious, Confucian practitioners were actually relatively elusive.
"He is already dead. Calculating his seniority, he should be my uncle."
When Li Ye asked, Zuo Yujie shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It may be the first time in millions of years for the Confucian sect to die at the hands of the son of Ying Jie that he personally selected."
For tens of millions of years, the Confucian sect has selected at least dozens of geniuses, and each generation of practitioners will have a candidate. But whether they refuse or agree, no one has ever attacked a Confucian sect.
What's more, he also killed two great Confucian scholars, and now it is even reported that the previous generation of Confucian practitioners also died in the hands of the Demon Lord.
"The person Confucianism fell in love with this time was not me at first, right?"
A glimmer of light flashed in Li Ye's eyes, and he suddenly asked.
Confucianism chooses the son of Ying Jie! There is only one candidate in a generation!
That person must be the person chosen by the contemporary practitioners of Confucianism!
But this generation of Confucian practitioners is not Zuo Yujie, but a gentleman Confucian scholar! But the Confucian sect asked Zuo Yujie to come to look for him, which is unreasonable in itself.
The only explanation is that he was not the original candidate for Confucianism.
"As expected, I can't hide anything from you. Indeed, you were not the original candidate."
Li Ye nodded. Although the Confucianism style was too pedantic and even ridiculous in his eyes, it was worthy of his respect for being able to persist for millions of years without changing its original intention.
As for the so-called recurrence of ancient catastrophes, he doesn't think it will happen.
I suppressed those thoughts in my heart, but I remembered the scene when Jun Ziru appeared.
He was quite curious about this Confucian practitioner at the beginning, but now that he thinks about it, he can sort out a lot of cause and effect.
"Ye Tiandao? Or Xiao Jianfeng?"
Li Ye thought in his mind that those top talents in Dongzhou must be different from ordinary people to be selected by the Confucian sect. Otherwise, why should they be judged? Even if they have outstanding talents, they must have something unique.
Obviously, compared to Xiao Jianfeng of the Xiao family, Ye Tiandao is the most suitable.
He comes from a famous family, has unparalleled talent, and possesses the Ye family's 100,000-year-old luck. Almost everyone has concluded that he is one of the candidates to break through to the imperial realm the fastest in the history of Dongzhou.
If it weren't for his appearance.
"Not the two of them."
But unexpectedly, Zuo Yujie shook his head.
This actually made Li Ye curious. Among the top talents in Dongzhou City back then, if not these two people, who would it be?
Yue Tianqi? Or Shi Aotian?
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, but he frowned.
He thought of a person, "Empty Fantasy?"
"Yes, Kong Huan! The person my senior brother originally selected was indeed him."
Li Ye has always had a strange feeling about Kong Huan. Compared with him, Kong Huan is more like a child of destiny born in the world of this era.
Whether it is Ye Tiandao or Helan Tianlang, both of them are well-deserved pinnacle figures of their times.
But in front of Kong Huan, there was obviously a lack of luck. It wasn't that they themselves were not lucky, it was more like their strong luck was faintly swallowed up by Kong Huan and fueled his growth.
Most people would not notice this change at all. Even Li Ye himself could only vaguely make a guess.
The key point!
So mysterious!
From the first time he saw Kong Huan in the Lower Nine Realms, he had the illusion that this person was the real protagonist of this world, and everyone else just came into being.
Only, there was an accident.
"According to my senior brother's inference, coupled with the calculation of my master, Old Man Tianji, Kong Huan is an indispensable candidate for this calamity, and is also the most suitable target for the Confucian sect."
Although Li Ye was right in front of him, Zuo Yujie did not hesitate to praise the fantasy, but in the end his expression became a little subtle and weird, "But all of us missed a little bit!"
"I?"
"Yes! It's you!"
Confucianism has never made a mistake in its calculations for millions of years, but in the past millennium, there have been two mistakes!
"The last time the calculation was wrong, it was because of the appearance of the Demon Lord. Many great scholars in the Confucian sect, including my master, expected that he would be a suitable candidate, but in the end they found out that they were wrong, and they paid the price."
His eyes were a little solemn. If he hadn't been on good terms with Li Ye, he might even have had murderous intentions several times!
right!
Just murderous intention!
Li Ye saw this, "This time, do you think it will be my mistake in becoming a Confucian sect?"
"No, quite the opposite."
"oh?"
"One of you or Kong Huan will become the opportunity for the catastrophe to reappear, and the other person will become the son of the catastrophe who can prevent the catastrophe!"
