My Special Ability is Perfect Replication Chapter 330 – Ancient Times, War of Man and Beast

“Then… I returned to Earth, and killed all of the gods.” Ling Jiu answered truthfully.

“In other words, you are the strongest person in the divine land now?”

The Nine-winged Skydragon stared at Ling Jiu, saying. “Since you're the strongest, why enter the tower? Who could imprison you here?”

“Haven't I told you earlier?”

Ling Jiu was somewhat helplessly. “I heard that the Demon-sealing Tower is pretty fun, and there are a lot of talents that could speak, so I came in to play, and look around.”

“Came in to play?”

The Nine-headed Skydragon looked at him like it was looking at an idiot. “The Demon-sealing Tower is a very magical artifact. Not only can it isolate the immortal Qi, it is completely isolated from the world outside!”

“Most important, it only allows entry and no exit. Human, you're done for. You can forget about leaving after coming in.”

“No matter!”

Ling Jiu waved his hand indifferently. “I have comprehended the Laws of Space, and can leave her with just a single thought. The Demon-sealing Tower cannot hold me here.”

“What did you just say?”

The Nine-winged Skydragon shuddered, two brilliant glints appeared in its eyes.” You've comprehended the Law of Space, and you can leave the tower at any time?”

“Yes.”

Ling Jiu smiled and said. “However, I'm not in a hurry to leave for the time being. There are many talented ones here, and they speak well, so I really like it here.”

“When will you leave?”

The dragon asked again.

“We'll get to that once I had my fun!”

Ling Jiu shrugged. “Alright, I want to go have a look elsewhere. You can continue your rest.”

“Manling, you may not leave!”

The Nine-winged Skydragon darted and blocked Ling Jiu's path as its bell-like eyes stared at him. “You can leave if you want to, but you must take me along!”

“What are you talking about?”

Ling Jiu was dumbfounded.

“Manling, take me out of this place, how about that?”

The Nine-winged Skydragon's eyes was alight. “I've been imprisoned here for more than 5,800 years. I've stayed here long enough that I want to leave this place even in my dreams!”

“You want to leave?”

Ling Jiu laughed.

“Yeah!”

The Nine-winged Skydragon nodded its massive head.

“Why should I take you away from here?”

Ling Jiu smiled and asked. “I've heard that all of the monsters locked in the tower are unparalleled Direbeasts that had caused disasters in ancient times.”

“Your crimes are many, and exhaustive, if I were to release all of you, won't it cause endless calamities once again?”

“Nonsense!”

The Nine-winged Skydragon was furious. “What bringers of calamities? That's a crime that you humans had imposed upon us! Despicable human, shameless!”

“What did you just say?”

Ling Jiu raised his eyebrows.

“Hmph, during ancient times, we monsters are the owners of the divine land, and only later on with the rise of humans that they started fighting with us for this land.”

The Nine-winged Skydragon said. “Later on, all kinds of amazing talents continued to emerge from you humans, and you lot finally defeated us.”

“Us monsters fled or died, and those unlucky sods like us were locked inside the Demon-sealing Tower and imprisoned until now.”

“That is to say, the reason you lot were locked in there was due to racial conflicts, and not because of unforgivable crimes?” Ling Jiu said dumbfoundedly.

“Of course!”

The Nine-winged Skydragon snorted. “We failed, and lost convincingly, but we will never allow you humans to sully our name by adding crimes upon it!”

“At least you're someone who is bold enough to assume responsibilities for your actions.”

Ling Jiu nodded slightly. “However, I still cannot let you out.”

“Why?”

The dragon asked.

“It's because you're a monster and I'm a human.”

Ling Jiu said. “There are irreconcilable differences between our kind since ancient times. My ancestors had kept you here, so how can I violate their will and release you?”

“If they find out, they'll be scolding me for being unfilial.”

“Manling, what do you want?”

The Nine-winged Skydragon was little frustrated.

“I've heard that there were some monsters that submitted to humans during the ancient days?” Ling Jiu rolled his eyes and said slowly.

“Those were all a bunch of traitors!”

The Nine-winged Skydragon gritted its teeth and hissed. “During the ancient times, during the war of man and beast, some soft bones saw the humans were getting stronger and they betrayed us and submitted to the humans, and fought against kin!”

“I will never forgive these traitors, they were even more despicable than humans!”

“Yeah, they were traitors.”

Ling Jiu said softly. “But the facts proved that their choice was the correct one.”

“By following humans, not only did they survive, they even gained a very high status. So, can you stay that they made the wrong choice?”

The Nine-winged Skydragon was speechless.

“Be it the rise of the humans, or the war between man and monsters, or the betrayal of some monsters, or the recent rise of the Direbeasts, all are actually just fighting for a space for survival, it's all for survival.”

Ling Jiu said indifferently. “It's all for survival, so no matter what one does, it is understandable. What's there to blame?”

The Nine-winged Skydragon did not know how to refuse, and it took a while before a few words came out of its mouth. “Manling, what are you trying to say?”

“After talking so much, I just want to tell you one thing. I cannot let you out for no reason, unless… you submit to me!”

Ling Jiu shrugged and looked at the furious Nine-winged Skydragon. “Of course, you can also reject me, but you'll be staying in this god-forsaken place then.”

“By the way, let me tell you, the immortal Qi outside is reviving, and I also found many other auspicious grounds like Penglai Island.”

“The immortal Qi there is very potent, and the flow of time is also very fast there. A day on the divine land is several years there.”

Of course, there was no auspicious grounds. The ones Ling Jiu spoke of refers to the planets near the White Hole, and these places can indeed be called auspicious grounds.

“The reason I could cultivate so quickly is because I stayed in a magical immortal mountain where the time flow is 99 times faster than the divine land!”

“Well, that's all that needed to be said, you decide for yourself then.”

As the said Ling Jiu turned around and left. From his conversation with the Nine-winged Skydragon, he learnt:

The ancient times were not like those described in Xianxia novels where dragons and phoenixes ran rampant, monsters and demons struggled for hegemony, where Saints ruled the world…

In the true ancient times, there were only the Direbeast that rampaged across the land, and the human ancestors who had rose from small beginnings to eventually defeated the Direbeasts.

And the Nine-winged Skydragon was a Direbeast that was able to fight against the human ancestors in the ancient times, and was undoubtedly a very powerful fighter.

Think about it, these guys had been locked side the Demon-sealing Tower for over 5,000 years. For them to still been in a supergalactic Level 9, apex level after not absorb Gene Arcana for so long, with declining strength, how powerful were they during their peak?

To kill such an existence was undoubtedly a pity, their value can be best utilised if they were kept alive!
