C181 There Was a Kind of Success Called Giving Up!

After taking a deep breath, Lee Xiang calmed down instantly. He had a huge question in his mind as he looked at this woman who was almost a disaster.

"Alright, now that you have come out, there is no need to say anything else. Can you tell me who you are? Also, what is your relationship with Yun Zhongzi?"

Ling Tian revealed a nervous expression at the same time, because this was something he had always wanted to know.

"Me?" The woman faintly sighed. "For so many years, I almost forgot my name. Hmm. . . You can call me Yali Yin just like Yun Zhongzi!"

"What?" Lee Xiang and Ling Tian exclaimed at the same time, and they almost fell to the ground.

What a joke, Yali Yin was the ruler of the Osman Continent. She was a standard god-like figure. Because the great and kind goddess was also called Yali Yin.

Could it be that she met someone with the same name? Lee Xiang and Ling Tian looked at each other and thought of this possibility at the same time. They quickly denied it because her current attire, especially the rumored crown on her head, was telling them that it was very likely that she was the goddess, Ya Li Yin!

It was a mess, it was a mess! According to what they knew, the Goddess had always used the Sacred City's Dazs as a stable stronghold after she had taken care of Yun Zhongzi. Although no one had truly seen her in so many years, the Church had always claimed that she existed.

But according to what she said just now, she seemed to have stayed in the Asura Ring for several thousand years? Why was that?

"Do you feel that this name is very familiar?" The woman smiled calmly. "I know what you are thinking. That's right, I am the goddess that has been worshipped and worshipped for thousands of years on this continent! "

Lee Xiang and Ling Tian both took a few steps back at the same time. At the same time, their eyes revealed a vigilant expression. They looked at each other and saw the shock and regret in each other's eyes.

The reason was simple. Yali and Yun Zhongzi had been rivals for thousands of years, but they had recklessly released Yali Yin, who had spent so much effort and effort to trap her in the ring. Would they let them go after they came out? Naturally, they wanted Yun Zhongzi's successors to vent their anger and vent their anger.

Of course, they had another question. How did Yun Zhongzi put Yali in it all those years ago? One should know that Yun Zhongzi was dead, and it was said that he died during the duel with Yali Yin. Then, how should he explain everything in front of him?

Lee Xiang smiled bitterly. The only thing he could be sure of right now was that he couldn't be sure of anything! Because he did not know how many more things that would surprise him in the future would appear.

As if she had seen through Lee Xiang and Yali's vigilance, she smiled and casually took a few steps forward. Her gaze fell on the two of them once again. "Are you afraid of me? Or do you regret releasing me just now? Or are you trying to find a way to deal with me?"

In fact, Lee Xiang and Ling Tian's three questions had flashed through their minds just now. However, none of them were confident.

Seeing that the two of them didn't reply, Ya Li Yin smiled faintly. "There's no need. Because we are not enemies at all! So there's no need for you to be nervous! "

The two of them were stunned once again!

"Not an enemy, could it be a friend?" This was what Ling Tian asked.

"Friend?" Ya Li was slightly dazed, and her eyes suddenly lit up with an extremely profound light. It was as if she didn't take their words seriously at all, as if she was recalling some unforgettable things.

"There are many kinds of friends. I think. . . We should be the most special kind!" Ariin took back her momentary loss of self-control. Once again, her gaze fell upon the two of them. The only difference was that this time, her gaze seemed to have recovered its anger.

Lee Xiang and Ling Tian were once again stunned.

"Do you want to hear a story?" Ya Li Yin kindly smiled. Obviously, he could tell that the two of them were getting more and more confused. "A story that no one knew about four thousand years ago!"

Besides nodding, the two of them also nodded, because they were completely confused by what was happening before their eyes. Even though Lee Xiang was smart, he still felt that there were too many suspicious points about this matter that needed to be explained.

"Four thousand years. . . " Ariin's beautiful eyes once again fell into the endless memories, as if she had returned to the past. You could clearly feel her expression at this moment. Lee Xiang understood this feeling very well. Although he didn't know how he could understand it, he was still willing to understand it from the bottom of his heart. It was a very contradictory feeling.

As he listened to Alien's narration, Lee Xiang heard a story that was completely different from what Reynolds had told him.

It was a sad, sad, tragic story, and even a story that made people unconsciously sigh with regret!

It was different from what Reynolds had said. Yun Zhongzi and Ariin were not enemies. They were. . . A couple!

It was a very funny thing. Such an outcome really surprised Lee Xiang. Who would have thought that there would be such a dramatic turn of events? But at this moment, Yali's pair of eyes that were filled with true feelings really made them unable to doubt it.

The most terrible thing was that from her expression, it could be seen that. . . They were still a very lovey-dovey couple. But fate played a big joke on them. Because no matter how lovey-dovey they were, don't forget. . . Between them. . . There's an insurmountable chasm.

Faith!

This was a funny feeling. It could be crazy, persistent, addicted, and even abandon everything for it! This was faith!

When they saw the people on this continent start to madly push each other out for their own beliefs, cracks began to appear between them.

Lee Xiang could understand this feeling. Especially since it happened because of their beliefs.

Imagine when the eastern civilization met the western civilization, the inevitable result would be conflict. The direct consequence of a conflict was war. War was slaughter! The final outcome of slaughter was hatred. Until one side is completely subservient to the other side. Just like the conflict between Islam and Catholic in his previous life, or the conflict between India and Islam. This conflict actually had an unavoidable friction in the doctrine itself. Because in the doctrine, they were completely different. Or even completely opposite principles. For example, Islam could eat beef. But India regarded cows as gods. These are the source of the conflict.

Thus, strictly speaking, the power of religion was sometimes truly terrifying, and if faith could be perfected, then it would be a complete mental brainwashing.

When the religion conflict in Osman Continent reached a situation where it was unavoidable, Yun Zhongzi and Yaren hiding behind the scenes would inevitably be pushed to the top of the wave.

Because they had to have a promise and an explanation to their believers.

Just like that, a fierce battle between justice and evil was staged in Osman Continent. A pinnacle battle between gods and demons took place.

You could say that they were cruel, but you could also clap your hands and say that they were quick. Wasn't this supposed to be a duel between a pair of intimate lovers? Wasn't it cruel? However, on the other hand, things always needed a solution. Although Yun Zhongzi and Yaliin's solution might not be the best, who could be sure? This method was bad?

This was because all the wars in Lee Xiang's previous life had been proven with countless facts that religious conflicts were the most unsolvable conflicts until now. Moreover, it seemed that humans had never found a good solution. Lee Xiang even said that there might not be a better solution in the future.

Unless, a religion was eradicated.

This was the agreement between Yun Zhongzi and Alien. If either of them lost, then they would voluntarily withdraw and help the other one. This would make this continent, which had yet to enter a deep religious conflict, forever calm.

This was a solution that couldn't be helped, because the longer it dragged on, the more serious the problem would be. They had all transmigrated from the same world, so they knew very well that their world had fallen into a never-ending vicious cycle because of this conflict.

At the end of the story, there was not much difference from what Reynolds had explained. In the end, it ended with Yun Zhongzi giving up on his own accord. The result was that the religion that Ariin represented - the Church - had a complete victory.

The winner takes all, and the rest of the things would naturally happen.

However, there was a slight twist in the middle.

Back then, Yali and Yun Zhongzi had agreed to give it their all. In the end, when Yali found out that Yun Zhongzi had given up halfway, the shock in her heart was incomparable. However, it was already too late for her to stop at this moment.

When Yun Zhongzi's last bit of origin energy returned to the Asura Ring, she naturally entered it together with him because of the regret and respect she had for Yun Zhongzi.

Because they were a couple. So she knew very well that Yun Zhongzi would have three more people to assist him in the future. The reason she took the initiative to enter the Asura Ring was partly to express her apology, and partly because she didn't want to see the continent plunge into endless conflict again after Yun Zhongzi's heir returned.

Then, this had reached another critical point.

It was precisely because she and Yun Zhongzi also didn't want to see the continent fall into a conflict of religion again, that they had a tacit understanding to do something in the end.

That was to prevent the Asura Ring from falling into the hands of Yun Zhongzi's successor.

In other words, whether it was Reynolds or Ling Tian, they didn't succeed. That was because Yun Zhongzi didn't want them to succeed.

However, there was always a heaven's will in the dark. After the Asura Ring encountered Yun Zhongzi's sarira, it naturally had a chemical reaction.

The key was that both of these things were in the hands of Yun Zhongzi's pet, the Dragon Clan. In the past, Reynolds failed due to the fact that he didn't have the sarira with him.

Lee Xiang's luck was good because Reynolds's previous experience of failure had provided him with a good reference. Later on, everything that happened was inevitable. Everything seemed to have been arranged so that he could get closer to the core of this secret step by step.

Along with Yali's narration, Lee Xiang and Ling Tian looked at each other, but in their hearts, they felt that it was a huge joke.

Because strictly speaking, Yun Zhongzi didn't want them to appear at all, that was why he had arranged so many twists and turns. He hadn't even completely provided them with some of the secret opening incantations, and it was their so-called enemy, Yali, who had told them about it. Wasn't such a thing absurd?

Lee Xiang smiled bitterly. He was a bit speechless. He had struggled hard to solve all the secrets, but he hadn't thought that he would be able to solve all of them. In the end, it was actually like this. He was at a loss for what to do. He even doubted whether everything he had done before was meaningful or not.

In a sense, Yun Zhongzi's actions were extremely irresponsible. Especially to the three of them, it was extremely detestable. However, Lee Xiang couldn't help but admire him from the bottom of his heart. Because he had already abandoned the prejudice between religions and had completed a qualitative transformation. Such a realm was not something that anyone could achieve.

Taking a few steps back dejectedly, Lee Xiang looked at Yaliin and smiled helplessly. "Since there are so many secrets behind this, he said. Why did you come out and tell us these things? You can totally keep it in the dark. If I don't come out, all of you will still obtain all of Yun Zhongzi's abilities. At that time, you will still be able to use this Bael City as your base and slowly expand. I'm sure that it won't be long before this continent once again falls into a never-ending conflict! "Yali regained her lost expression. Her eyes flashed with the light of wisdom.

"I don't even know what my mission is? How could I do such a thing? "Lee Xiang smiled helplessly.

"You didn't know about the secrets of the Asura Ring and the sarira before? But in the end, you still got everything from them. This is the arrangement of fate. " Ariin had a cautious expression on her face. "That's why I'm certain. . . Your appearance is destined to be the continuation of Yun Zhongzi. Moreover, your destructive force is far greater than his. At least, your means are not something Yun Zhongzi could do in the past. Yun Zhongzi had already predicted this in the past. . . "

"En? Do you mean that Yun Zhongzi has already said that such a thing would happen?" Lee Xiang was slightly puzzled.

"Yes, because he knew very well that he had given up on his own accord, which meant that he had betrayed his belief in himself. So after a few years, When another person comes, he will not follow his footsteps to do what he did in the past, strictly speaking. . . Your arrival is not to inherit him, but to replace him. . . This is one of the reasons why he completely disappeared from this continent, because of his actions. He was no longer qualified to lead this matter. Thus, he must receive the punishment he deserves. "

"You mean that if Yun Zhongzi didn't take the initiative to give in back then, he would still be alive and kicking until now. It was precisely because of his betrayal of his faith that caused his death? "Lee Xiang was slightly shocked.

"That's right, that's the reason! "Ya Liyin smiled bitterly. "And your actions also made me certain that his prophecy was completely correct, because what you've done recently is already a precursor to another conflict on this continent, and an unprecedented religious conflict is happening once again. "

"Aren't you sealed within the Asura Ring? How do you know what I am doing?" Lee Xiang raised an alert question.

"I was sealed inside, but don't forget. I came in on my own accord back then, and there was a church as a spokesperson on this continent. They would pray to me every day, confess to me. . . So there are a lot of things that can't be hidden from me. Even though I can't go out. But that doesn't mean that I don't know anything. " Ariin smiled faintly.

Lee Xiang suddenly understood. He nodded his head in understanding. "Do you mean that I am now a threat to the authority of the Church, which is led by you?"

"There is no doubt about it! Moreover, it is not only to the Church, but also an inestimable threat to the entire continent! " Ariin had a solemn expression on her face.

"Then, can I understand that you're here to stop me?" Lee Xiang's face darkened. At the same time, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley. He needed to think about whether he could defeat this terrifying opponent.

At the same time, on the other side, Ling Tian quickly pressed down on the hilt of his sword. He had the same thought as Lee Xiang.

"Don't be nervous!" Ya Li Yin faintly smiled. She first glanced at Lee Xiang, then turned to look at Ling Tian with a mocking expression. "Do you know why you can't successfully replace Yun Zhongzi? And he succeeded? "

"Why?" Ling Tian's hand still did not leave the hilt. He was also very unconvinced with this question. But there was no other way.

"Because you are not as smart as him, and at the same time, you are not as calm as him. Just like now! " Ariin smiled faintly. "Not to mention, you're just a Knight who has just broken through to rank 9. Even if you have broken through to the saint-level, what can you do? You're not on the same level as me. So, you'd better put away your sword! It is no different from a fire stick to me! "

Ling Tian was furious, but under Lee Xiang's signal, he unwillingly withdrew his hand.

"The reason why I came out today is actually to discuss a deal with you!" Yali was very satisfied with Ling Tian's actions, and after nodding her head, her gaze once again fell onto Lee Xiang.

"If you want me to give up, then don't say anything else!" Lee Xiang shrugged his shoulders. Since there was a precedent for Yun Zhongzi, if he gave up again, he was afraid that he would still not be able to follow in Yun Zhongzi's footsteps, and would end up in a miserable state where he would die in a foreign land. Therefore, instead of doing this, he might as well give it a try. This way, he still had a chance of winning.

Yalin shook her head slightly. "I didn't think of asking you to give up. I just wanted to discuss a compromise with you! Because this is harmful to you, me, everyone, and this continent! "

"Tell me!" Lee Xiang's heart moved. If it was a win-win solution, it might not be a bad thing.

"It's very simple. You are the same as Yun Zhongzi, giving up your pursuit. . . "

"Impossible!" Lee Xiang refused flatly. Wasn't this the same as letting him follow in Yun Zhongzi's footsteps? Yun Zhongzi could understand. After all, there was still a layer of ambiguous relationship between him and Alien, but why should he give her face? They had just gotten to know each other. Besides, he had just gotten to know her. He was not a man who would give up everything for a woman.

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse. It's not too late to refuse after listening to me. . . "Ariin smiled faintly. "As long as you give up on your pursuit, I will make an unexpected compensation to you. . . But if you still refuse. . . Then I will do my best to kill you, I know that you may be very powerful now, You might even be stronger than Yun Zhongzi, but even if you have to pay with your life. . . I will not hesitate to do so! "

Feeling Yali's determination to fight to the death, Lee Xiang could sense the seriousness of the problem. His facial expression remained unchanged as he said, "You should talk about your compensation first. Let's see if it can move my heart. "

"It's very simple. You give up your pursuit. I give up my goddess title. As long as you agree, I promise that from today onwards, until you leave this continent, you will be the true ruler of this continent. Including the Church! "

Lee Xiang and Ling Tian's bodies trembled at the same time. Ya Li Yin's concession had indeed exceeded their expectations. Her meaning was very clear, as long as she retained the authority of the Church in the continent, Everything could be decided by him. This was something Ariin could do, even if Ariin didn't help. Lee Xiang knew that he could still do it with his current strength, but he just needed time and a process.

"Are you surprised?" Yalin looked at the two of them with a complicated expression and shrugged. She said in a desolate tone, "Back then, Yun Zhongzi resolutely chose to give up in order to prevent this kind of religious conflict from escalating into a large-scale war and massacre. It was precisely because of his fearless spirit that I felt insignificant. I clearly remember the last words he said that was engraved in my heart: There is a kind of victory called giving up. There is a kind of defeat called seizing! I have been thinking about this for four thousand years, and only today did I completely understand the meaning behind it. Since he was able to make such a bold decision in order to prevent the entire Osman Continent from falling into a never-ending conflict, why can't I. . . " Yali smiled sadly. Her eyes were filled with reminiscence. . . . "Even if it's my turn, it will be my turn. Only then will it be fair!"

Lee Xiang fell silent. Yali was hinting at him. She was not afraid of him. She was thinking about the bigger picture. To be honest, this suddenly gave him a very absurd feeling. After a long time, He smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, what Yun Zhongzi did back then might not be right, because. . . You can see. . . The current continent is even more unfair and cruel. And all of this is because of that white man in the Vatican's trading center. If Yun Zhongzi had existed back then, at least this kind of thing would not have happened. "

Ariin sighed slightly. " I actually thought of this problem as well, so I also think that what Yun Zhongzi did back then was not something that I should consider. Although his starting point was good, it might not be able to really solve the problem. On the contrary, the problem became more complicated. . . So this is also one of the reasons why I made such a choice, because perhaps. . . You will have a better choice, maybe you will do better than us? After all, you came from the lowest level, step by step. Your understanding should be deeper! Unlike me and Yun Zhongzi, we are destined to be regarded as gods by the people here when we come to this continent. "

Lee Xiang nodded. It seemed that after thousands of years of consideration, he had finally figured out some problems.

"Then what do you plan to do?" Lee Xiang asked. Not only in his heart, but also in her heart. The longer he dragged on, the more powerful he would become. This wasn't a good thing for Yali Yin. She wasn't that stupid.

Ariin let out a faint sigh. After a long time. . . She gritted her teeth and said, "I will grant you your position on this continent first, then. . . And then. . . I will leave this place, leave this continent. . . Sigh. . . Four thousand years, it is time to return home. Perhaps, he will wait for me in another world?" Lee Xiang fell silent once again. He suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart. He suddenly thought of a very ridiculous word: When the previous person planted the tree, the later person would take advantage of it. That was what he meant now.

Who knew that the short conversation between the two of them tonight would foretell some qualitative changes in the structure of this continent?

But one could predict that. . . Such a night was destined to be a night of miracle!
