Chapter 127: The Truth of the Dark Ages
h every ounce of my effort. I did everything in my power, and I fought tooth and nail for what I couldn't. Every breath I took in the Netherworld was either spent fighting or healing."“I really tried...Guanyin told Xiaofan that the source of Yanxiao's power is resentment. If you want to weaken Yanxiao, the heads it consumes cannot carry resentment.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
The deceased need to be calm and serene, but how easy is that
Throughout history, death is the only certainty. Craving life and fearing death are human nature, so facing death calmly is what we celebrate.
Sacrifice of this kind is very rare.
But in any case, the "offering of heads" by the Sea Saint Clan was precisely the reason why Yan Xiao grew up so quickly.
Because the Sea Clan's "sacrificial offering" is not a voluntary sacrifice, but always "offering the head of another".
Guan Yan, through Xiaofan's mouth, advised the Senhai Sheng clan to stop offering their heads and choose to defend their territory, using a long time to weaken the Yanxiao.
This scenario is feasible. The entire Sea Saint Clan retreats to the Divine Shade Realm. Once the Yan Xiao knocks on the door, they will only defend and not retaliate. Even if casualties are inevitable, the Yan Xiao may not be able to hold out for long.
And once the power begins to diminish, the annual losses will decrease. It is foreseeable that this choice will result in heavy casualties among the Holy Race, but the outcome is clear, it will surely lead to the light.
Actually, if the Sea Saint Clan had understood Yan Xiao initially and hadn't hastily killed it, perhaps everything would have been different.
But things have evolved so far.
Under his divine powers, Jiang Wang and the others walked with ease through Guan Yan's memories, browsing the primordial world of Sen Hai from that era...
At that time, the Sea Saint Clan still used a system of elder councils, with a council of seven elders deciding on all major and minor affairs of the clan.
After verifying the authenticity of the message Xiaofan conveyed through their own methods, the elders made a choice that was completely beyond Guanyin's imagination!
The Elder Council of the Sea Forest Saint Clan believes that if they stop offering sacrifices, the Yan Xiao could become enraged and unleash an unbridled massacre. The Sea Forest Saint Clan cannot afford such a loss.
And as long as the tribute offering continues, because of the requirements of the ceremony, Yan Xiao also cannot needlessly harm the members of the Sacred Clan.
This should be a new line.
Since the falcon grows by feeding on resentment, let those who offer their heads die without awareness. Without awareness, there can be no resentment.

Anyway, it's not the people of the Sanhai Saint Clan who are dying.
The Sea Saint Elder Council used forbidden magic, borrowing the power of the Dragon God, to create "The Night Invasion."
Su Qiyun has been searching for the truth behind "Night's Assault", and only in Guan Yan's memories did she see the root cause.
The formation process of "Night Incursion" is complex and difficult to replicate. But its essence is the leakage of the "World Source" and the invasion of chaos.
In the night of the Sain Sea Realm, without the protection of the divine power of the Shenlong wood, everyone would fall into a deep sleep. Those who fall asleep, if they do not have a connection with the awake, will return to chaos.
In the sudden onslaught of "The Night Invasion," countless humans perished, revealing the truth behind the near extinction of other tribes in the Sea-Forest Origin World!
The reason for using "almost" is simply because no one has ever reached the end of the Morihai Yuanjie, so it cannot be completely confirmed. Those empty wooden houses and caves speak volumes in their silence.
That kind of state, even if Jiang Wang and others were looking at it from such a detached perspective, they could still feel Guanyan's trembling at the time...
Xiao was a mischievous adventurer who stole out of the clan's territory, igniting the heartwood of the divine dragon. Only then was Guanyuan able to escape slumber.
After the "Night Raid," Guan Yan finally understood.
During the dark age of the Sea of Trees realm, it appeared that Yan Xiao was the culprit, but in reality, it was the malice of the Sea of Trees Sacred Clan.
Upon reviewing history, the sacred land was not exclusive to the Sea Forest Saint Clan, but a shared holy ground for numerous tribes.
In the distant past, the Sea God clan was just a powerful tribe. It only came to dominate the land of divine blessings after driving out all other tribes.
Later, they claimed the oldest divine grove as their ancestral land and called themselves the Sacred Clan. They seemed to believe that they were inherently different, born superior to all other tribes.
The Sea Clan of the Dark Era, their minds had long since twisted and fallen to darkness. They revered brutality and bloodshed, pillaging was rampant, and killing was their nature.
He had fantasies about this tribe because of a minor annoyance, but the annoyance, was actually the only exception among the Sea Saint Tribe...
The Buddha has a compassionate heart, but the Buddha also has the wrathful eyes of a diamond.
The wrathful Guanyin burned the relic, manifesting as Vajra (Buddha) and achieving the divine presence.
Alone, he killed the Elder Council of the Morian Sacred Clan. He nearly slaughtered all the Sacred Clan warriors who were then acting as pawns for the tiger.
At the very last moment, when oil ran out and the lamp flickered its final light, support Little Trouble to become the only priest of the Sacred Clan.
He revised the history of the Sea Saint Clan, leading them to form the tradition of "mutual hunting". It took five hundred years to weaken the Yan Xiao, and in another five hundred years, he engraved honor and sacrifice into the bones of the Sea Saint Clan.
As for himself, his divine body was decaying, his lifespan exhausted.
There's only a glimmer of true spirit left. It cannot abide in chaos, nor can it be confined to this realm. Unable to reincarnate, it can only wander the cracks between worlds.
After exiting the Heart Communication, Jiang Wang and his two companions felt a mix of emotions but were deeply moved by the experience.
In Jiang Wang's view, Guan Yan's greatest achievement is not weakening the Yan Xiao and orchestrating their demise five hundred years later. It's his education of the Sen Hai Holy Clan.
Turn the sacred land from a place where darkness and bloodshed thrived into the tranquil and peaceful haven it is today.
The fact that the Sea Saint Clan can now produce individuals like Qingqi Shu, who are brave and willing to sacrifice themselves, is a testament to Guan Yan's teachings.
Truly immeasurable merit!
As for Jiang Wang's thoughts, Guanyan, who possessed the ability to understand others' hearts, could perceive them.

"May all beings be well. Cause and effect are real, and even this small bit of merit has allowed me to remain as a true spirit for five hundred years. I have also explored some practices based on the true spirit."
One can still explore and cultivate, and has truly achieved something!
Guanyin seemed utterly unaware of how shocking his appearance was, and with a gentle expression, he looked at Su Qiyun: "That's why I could borrow your Jìshén Yù, and temporarily manifest a physical form."
That's not all, isn't there still your divine power you can use Wu Quji silently thought to himself, but quickly realized that in front of Guan Yan, it was the same as saying it out loud. To cover up his own thoughts, he pretended to be lost in contemplation for a moment.
Guanyuan glanced at him as if seeing through him, finding himself both amused and bewildered by the realization.

Su Qiyun opened her mouth: "Those records..."
Guanyuan looked at her earnestly, lowered his head slightly, and apologized to her.
“Those records were compiled by me, with clues deliberately left behind to guide later arrivals to target the Raven. I didn't want any other unforeseen consequences. For my arrogance, I apologize to you.”
The records in the Saint Clan's library are also part of Guanyin's "legacy" plan. Back then, he not only "reconstructed" the history of the Saint Clan but also left behind such arrangements. To say that his calculations were flawless would be an understatement.
At the time, Jiang Wang had some doubts, but couldn't possibly have thought of this. He just wondered, if Chong Xuan Sheng were here, would it have been possible for him to notice something in advance
Su Qiyun's mood was extremely complicated at this time.
Being led by Guan Yan's will from back then, of course there was discontent, but resentment wasn't something I felt.
The truth behind the "Night Raid" she had been seeking had surfaced, but her target of revenge had already been erased by Guanyin over five hundred years ago. To this very moment, she felt a sense of aimless and desolate loss.
"To express my apology..." Guanyin looked at her and said, "I preserved a fragment of your friend's true spirit within the chaos..."
