Chapter 4800
Chapter 4800
Wait, myths have a long history and have been passed down through generations. Since they have been passed down to this day, they must have their origins.
After years of research, Zhang Yi and Yang Xinxin have confirmed that many myths are based on real events that occurred in ancient times.
Zhang Yi still found it hard to believe that the azure dragon in front of him was Fuxi!
However, it is not entirely impossible.
In human murals, Fuxi and Nuwa are depicted as having human heads and snake bodies. And dragons do indeed possess this form.
The three of them were completely bewildered for a long time. Yang Xinxin spoke first and asked, "Fuxi is the cultural ancestor of the Huaxu Kingdom. If you really are that person, you have lived for at least tens of thousands of years!"
Even knowing that dragons are immortal beings, they were still deeply shocked.
The Dragon Ancestor pondered for a moment, then said, "According to your six generations' calendar, I have lived for over two hundred million years!"
Zhang Yi: "..."
Yang Xinxin: "..."
Guan Longyue: "..."
Their minds should be blank at this moment. This is what happens when people come into contact with things that are completely beyond their imagination.
"Are dragons really that long-lived?"
Zhang Yi couldn't help but look at the black dragon and white dragon beside him.
Seemingly aware that Zhang Yi was pondering their age, Hei Longyuan said calmly, "Don't look at me like that. Compared to your six generations, we are indeed long-lived, but our lifespan does not exceed three thousand years."
His gaze fell upon the Dragon Ancestor in the hot spring lake.
"But our ancestors were immortal!"
The word "immortality" sounds so enviable.
However, after thinking about many things, Zhang Yi calmed down.
The Eternals, aren't they simply achieving spiritual immortality by transcending their physical bodies? In the end, they even got tired of living and voluntarily returned to the ether.
Those who can modify their physical bodies, such as Zhou Ke'er, or those who can also get rid of their physical bodies and leave their spiritual bodies—a collection of etheric fragments and memories—in the material world can also be considered immortals.
The ancestor of the dragon race was actually Fuxi, who lived for over 200 million years!
That is, the beings who created the Huaxu Kingdom and its human civilization.
Thankfully, Zhang Yi and Yang Xinxin were experienced and knowledgeable, otherwise they would have been terrified.
Fuxi said, "Among my batch of dragons, I am the weakest; I am merely the most resilient."
"After surviving the calamities of the previous era, I have lived a long time and taken on the responsibilities of an angel, nurturing six generations of humanity in your lineage."
"Oh, right. And my wife, Nuwa."
"Do you know that the land you stand on was created by my sister and me? The people you call humanity are the people on this land that my sister and I led to grow up."
Fuxi's voice slowly rose, as if it came from the depths of antiquity.
"I am Fuxi, and she is Nuwa. What you know is that we gave humankind life and wisdom."
Zhang Yi and the other two were incredibly excited, shocked, and filled with an indescribable sense of awe.
For the people of the Huaxu civilization, the name Fuxi is a myth, an ancestor, and a founder in the long river of history.
The name Huaxu originates from Fuxi.
And this legendary mythical figure actually appeared in front of him in person.
"Then, is Nuwa still alive?"
Zhang Yi couldn't help but ask.
Fuxi shook his head: "Immortality is my ability, but she has already passed away over the years."
Yang Xinxin murmured to herself, "Fuxi, father; Nuwa, mother. When humans first learned to speak, they called out their names. Thus, these two names became synonyms for those who nurtured them."
Zhang Yi and the others remained silent, their eyes filled with shock and reverence. It turned out that the dragon race was not only an ancient existence, but also directly related to the origins of humankind.
Fuxi lived for 200 million years, and his existence itself is a legend.
