Girl, there's something wrong with you
Chapter 573 Despair
"Why would I want to be human again?"
"Because the life of a demon is too boring." Xie Guyan whispered, "There are not many intrigues and intrigues among demons, only pure confrontation of strength."
"In fact, if you study the history of mankind carefully, you will find that the driving force for the evolution of human society is entirely based on the game of interests. It's just that the individual strengths of demons are too different, so similar game processes are greatly simplified. "
"Most demons live a boring life of pursuing strength and fighting each other day after day, and I am really not interested in this."
"So in the past, through long research and experiments, I finally transformed myself into a human being, and at the same time lost my power as a demon."
Cheng Jinyang listened carefully, feeling a little speechless.
It turns out that my mother was so naive back then...
He actually doesn't have much obsession with being a human or a demon, but he knows that no matter which choice he makes, he must at least have enough power to protect himself.
Without power, even immortals, Buddhas, gods and demons will be slaughtered like pigs, dogs, chickens and ducks.
"You also know the result later." Xie Guyan said lightly, "Because of my marriage with your father, we were expelled by the aristocratic family and the royal family at the same time."
"Why is mother and father together?" Cheng Jinyang asked seriously.
"No reason." Xie Guyan said calmly, "It's just that after staying in the Imperial Laboratory for a while, I suddenly wanted to fall in love."
"In the name of closing the project, I observed many children from aristocratic families. Only your father left the best impression on me. Although he is usually silly, he smiles in a friendly manner..."
As she spoke, her eyes became slightly confused, but she soon regained her clarity:
"I thought I could stay with your father for a long time, but I didn't expect that I would be forced to that point in the future..."
Needless to say, Cheng Jinyang naturally understood what his mother was referring to.
The marriage between her and her father happened to run into the political confrontation between the gentry and the royal family, and both of them unfortunately became victims of the whirlpool of struggle.
Originally, with her mother's rank as a second-grade Star Lord, there was no need to worry about the novices in the human empire pecking each other, but she happened to transform herself into a human.
Human beings who have no power to restrain a chicken.
Cheng Jinyang suddenly remembered that the princess sister had also mentioned that when his father was about to be expelled from the Cheng family in the capital of God, his mother even went to the door of the Xing family in Hejian to beg for help, hoping that the Xing family could help intervene.
However, it was only a few days of rejection.
Even the princess sister, who was a bystander, mentioned her parents a few times, with uncontrollable resentment and malice in her eyes and tone. You can imagine how bad the real situation of her parents was at that time. .
"Your father has been pampered since he was a child." Xie Guyan continued, "Being expelled from the family was a big blow to him."
"Furthermore, the Cheng family in the capital city has already said that most companies in Jiankang City are not willing to take the risk of offending a famous family to recruit your father, so that he can only work part-time in some small companies. .”
Cheng Jinyang was silent for a moment, thinking that this was the Cheng family from the capital city forcing his father to submit and let him divorce his mother.
No, this attitude should be deliberately displayed to the nobles to show that the Cheng family in the divine capital has not secretly defected to the clan, and it is probably mixed with the uncle's selfish motives - he wants to completely destroy the reputation of this person with a higher bloodline potential. Younger brother, ensure that the power of the Cheng family is in the hands of his lineage.
"During that time, our life was very difficult, and it didn't get better until you entered junior high school." Xie Guyan turned to look at the princess sister, "There is a lot of help from you here."
"I actually didn't help much." The princess bit her lower lip and her eyes dimmed.
"That's also because of the emperor." Xie Guyan said indifferently, "You can't make the decision yourself."
Cheng Jinyang was silent for a moment, and finally asked the question:
"Mother, do you now...think of yourself as Xie Guyan?"
"The old Xie Guyan is dead, and since I have been reborn in her body and inherited her memory, what do I think I can't do with Xie Guyan?" Xie Guyan said quietly, staring at him with a meaningful look. profound.
Cheng Jinyang seemed to have an illusion for a moment, as if her identity as a time traveler had been revealed to her, the same resurrection from the dead, the same impostor...
However, he quickly came to his senses, how could it be possible?
Even if the personality is split and the secondary personality replaces the main personality, it is more reliable than passing through the soul to inherit the memory... By the way, my mother must have thought that I was reborn after death, just like an innate demon.
"After you entered junior high school, we were actually numb to the current situation." Xie Guyan continued to recall, "It's just that you are the only one who can't let go."
"We can accept our failure, but we don't want you to live like this. So your father went to the Cheng family in the capital of God to intercede, hoping that the family would accept you as a naturalized citizen."
"And I contacted several former colleagues from the Imperial Academy of Sciences. If the Cheng family's path in the divine capital fails, I can at least allow you to attend the high school affiliated with the Imperial Academy of Sciences. This way, even if you are from a poor family, you can pursue a career in scientific research in the future. .”
Cheng Jinyang was speechless.
There is no doubt that all the last efforts of my parents have failed, otherwise I would not still be studying in an ordinary private high school when I traveled through time.
If I had not awakened the demonic characteristics in my dreams due to the death of my parents, then there is a high probability that I would have embarked on a life-long toiling path that my parents never wanted me to take.
Graduate from high school in an ordinary way, then go to work, find a job that barely makes a living, live your life like a social animal, and die in a forgotten corner.
"It wasn't until all our efforts failed that I confirmed that the human world was already a pool of stagnant water." Xie Guyan finally concluded.
"If the world of monsters is monotonous, there is at least the opportunity to rise through strength; then, the upper and lower classes in the human world have almost stopped circulating, and the only way to cross class is through political ties."
"As long as you are favored by those in power, you can prosper even as a pig; if you are blocked by those in power, you will not be able to get ahead no matter how talented you are."
She sneered mockingly: "What is there to aspire to in such a world? It's really ridiculous."
Cheng Jinyang was speechless.
In fact, he himself has already had a deep understanding of the social phenomenon of "crossing classes and relying on political ties" as his mother said.
Even though his talent was astonishing, he was blocked and harshly treated by the Cheng family in the city of God just because he threatened his uncle's status, which almost made his blood pressure rise every time.
The opportunity for the reversal was the political support of Cheng Ben and the old man.
What's even more ironic is that without the help of Miss Wang and Ah Zhi, he would never have been able to see his biological grandfather.
As for the persecution his parents suffered at the beginning, the sudden fall from a high place to the abyss, and the desperate situation, although he was not completely clear, he could probably detect it from the bone-chilling coldness radiating around his mother at this time.
My mother must have been in despair before she died.
"Mom." The princess sister whispered, "Back then...we, the Sima clan, couldn't forgive you."
"The emperors of your Sima clan have always wanted to change the status quo of this backwater of class isolation." Xie Guyan said indifferently, "But since the advent of the era of supernatural powers, the overall strength of the noble clan has grown too fast, and it can even directly compete with the imperial power. "
"So by your father's generation, they no longer have any hope for gentle and gradual reforms. Your father hoped to use the power of demons to directly destroy the entire noble clan with violence. But at that time, I still had illusions about the human world."
"So..." Cheng Jinyang suddenly realized.
"The union between me and your father was caught and used by the emperor." Xie Guyan laughed sarcastically, "He actually wanted to bet with me that the current human world, which is gradually controlled by the nobles, is rotten to the core. It is necessary to continue improving and repairing.”
"In the end, your father and I lost this bet after years of hardship, despair, and ultimately death."
The previous foreshadowing, about the pitfalls between the old emperor and Xie Guyan, has been half filled in here. Tomorrow's chapter will fill in the other half.
