Chapter 4. Cris's Childhood

##################################

On The Mirror....

A young boy took some food from home, wrapped it in a cloth bag, and put it in his arms.

Then, quickly ran out of the house and Went to the Ruined Temple outside the Village.

In the ruined temple, an Old Cultivatior with white hair was sitting cross-legged. The Taoist priest looked a little weak, his face was pale, and his lips were chapped, proving that he didn't seem to have eaten for several days.

"Old Taoist priest, are you hungry? Eat while it's hot. I'll hold it in my arms and bring it to you."

.....

Outside the mirror...

The monks were a little surprised.

Even though they knew that this young boy was the current Heavenly Emperor, it was still difficult for most of the people present to associate this young boy with the Heavenly Emperor.

"Unexpectedly, the Tyrannical and Ruthless Heavenly Emperor was so Kindness to humans and animals when he was a child."

"At the beginning of man, his nature is good, and no one is born with great evil. If you think about it, this should be a rare time for him to be pure."

Everyone sighed and felt inexplicably a bit abrupt.

At this time, Someone stared at the old Cultivator in the picture and said, "This Taoist priest doesn't look ordinary, his muscles are broken, the Taoist foundation is broken, and he is still alive after suffering such a serious injury."

Everyone also looked at the old Cultivator, and many people looked shocked: "Why is there such a strong evil spirit between this Taoist body?"

...

In the picture, the old Cultivator Cultivator, his eyes fell on the young man, he nodded thoughtfully, and said in appreciation.

"Child, You are Born To Be Emperor, The World Will trembled at Your Words..!"

Cris just smiled in response,not taking his words seriously.

The Old Man took Food From the Cris and ate it...

.....

Everyone outside the mirror scoffed at the old Cultivator's words.

He said, that was not nonsense, this young boy is today's Emperor of Heaven, it would be strange if he was not born to be Emperor.

As the crowd watched in awe, the youthful Heavenly Emperor nonchalantly brandished his sword, swaying it effortlessly through the air. To everyone's surprise, he then unleashed a powerful and precise sword strike, accompanied by a fierce and palpable Sword Aura that resonated throughout the area. It was a truly remarkable display of skill and mastery that left onlookers both stunned and impressed.

...

Looking at the extremely smooth Sword Aura in Cris's Sword Moment, the old Taoist was stunned, and all the Cultivators of the Righteous Alliance were stunned.

Whether it was the Great Emperor or the Quasi Emperor, they all stood there dumbfounded.

If this is right, the young Heavenly Emperor, who was only five or six years old at the moment, slashed out a Sword Aura.

Moreover, this sword Aura seems to be extraordinarily mature.

Although it does not have much power, it has already possessed the basic understanding of the True Meaning of Sword.

There are many great emperors, quasi emperors, and supreme powerhouses present. But when they were five or six years old, most of them were still playing with toys. Even if they stepped into the practice, they were still doing basic skills. The young emperor can use sword Aura.

You know, to be able use Sword Aura, it is necessary to master the true meaning of swordsmanship!

How can a Young child who is still ignorant understand it ?,all thought in their mind.

...

The old Cultivator in the picture was also extremely stunned.

He immediately asked, "Have you ever practiced swordsmanship and been taught by a famous teacher ?"

Cris shook his head dazedly: "No one taught me, I don't even have a sword at home."

The pupils of the old Cultivator, at this moment, at a speed visible to the naked eye, horror rose.

It wasnot only the old Cultivator, but even the many quasi emperors and great emperors outside the field were all horrified at the moment.

No one to teached...!!!

How can a five-year-old child who has no one to teach him understand the true meaning of Swordmanship...?

Genius...?

No...it should be a Monstrous Sword genius!

Everyone is the world, the most top-notch existence, but they have never seen such a shocking thing even in the boundless era of the world.

Seeing this scene, even the Male Protagonist Ray couldn't help but be stunned.

He had been born with unparalleled talent, but facing Gu Changqing who could understand the Sword Aura at the age of five or six, he was only envious.

"Unexpectedly, the Swordmanship talent of the young emperor is so terrifying, no wonder he can become the emperor in the future!"

The crowd sighed.

However, it soon became apparent that something was wrong.

"Why, I have never seen the Emperor of Heaven use a sword!"

This voice made everyone stunned.

Yes..!

The Heavenly Emperor when he was a child showed such extraordinary Sword attainments and practiced all the way, when the kendo mastery is right!

But why, they have never seen Heavenly Emperor holding a sword...?

Could it be that, even when the Emperor Of Heaven was sealed, he never did his best...?

The crowd felt terrified unconsciously.

If it is like that , then How Powerful is Heavenly Emperor is...?

At this time, Rai said lightly: "He was indeed a genius in swordsmanship, but later, for some reasons, his swordsmanship was ruined."

"What reason?", Someone Questioned.

Everyone looked at Rai in confusion.

"He didn't tell me", Rai shook his head lightly.

There are too many secrets he can't see through his sworn brother.

"But",Rai added: "If you want to continue watching the Mirror, there will be an answer."

Everyone nodded silently, and continued to look at the picture. In their hearts, they couldn't help but evoke a touch of anticipation.

A Sword genius who showed strong Sword talent at the age of four or five, once he grows up, his Sword Talent is destined to be earth-shattering.

They wanted to see who destroyed the Heavenly Emperor's Sword Heart.

.....

"Old Man, I'm going back. Mother wants to know that I stole food from the family and will beat me.",The young man in the mirror ran away without looking back.

Night came...

Cris was in a deep sleep when he was suddenly jolted awake by a piercing scream. The sound sent shivers down his spine, and he felt a surge of fear wash over him. He lay still for a moment, listening intently to see if he could hear anything else, but the room was silent except for his own breathing. He wondered what could have caused the scream and felt a knot forming in his stomach as he imagined the worst-case scenarios.

"Father, mother...", Cris ran into his parents' room, but did not find his parents.He ran into the yard.

The servants and maids in the house all fell to the ground, and the whole yard was filled with a strong smell of blood.

"Mother....!", Cris ran out of the village.

On the roads of the village, corpses were laid out, people lying on the ground everywhere, with familiar faces lying in a pool of blood.

There was a fire in the distance, and there were constant screams resounding, and it could be vaguely seen that in the fire, a figure of a person whose body was shrouded in a strong black darkness flashed quickly.

Wherever he went, there was blood and screams everywhere.

"Mother...", Cris seemed startled by the scene in front of him.He kept rummaging through those corpses until he really found those two familiar figures.

"Father...Mother...", Cris looked at his parents who were lying in a pool of blood, his eyes were blurred, and he fell to the ground, sobbing.

...

"Hahaha..., it turns out that the Heavenly Emperor who is Cold and Ruthless will be scared to cry, and he will also have such a troubled side."

Outside the bronze mirror, a cultivator laughed unabashedly.

Because this is really heartwarming for Me.

The Adult Cris was Ruthless and Cold.A look, a demeanor, all revealing endless majesty, people dare not offend.

In the past, the all cultivators were so afraid of him, but now, when they saw his embarrassed appearance, they were overjoyed.

However, such voices are only a few.

More people pursed their lips and said nothing...

They pretend to be righteous and defended against demons. How could they look at a massacre and laugh.

Moreover, Cris is only four or five years old now, an ignorant child, how strong do you expect him to be..?

"Is this the reason why the Heavenly Emperor became cruel later...?"

Someone whispered unconsciously.

Parents were killed, villages were slaughtered, no wonder later, this Heavenly Emperor would become cruel and merciless, slaughtering all living beings with blood!

"I admit that His childhood was indeed tragic, but this was not enough the reason for him turning Evil."

"On the contrary, if it were me, I would only punish bad people, and would never pass on the tragic experiences of childhood to innocent people...",Ray said very politely.

It was soon followed by others.

"Emperor Ray has a big heart."

"Yeah, if everyone was like Emperor Ray, how wonderful the world would be."

"Speaking of which, these cultivators, who kill mortals so unscrupulously, are not afraid of punishment from the Heavenly Palace...!"A Cultivator said.

After all, Mortals and Cultivators are two concepts, and they cannot even be placed in the same world.

In today's world, there is a clear rule in the Three Realms that monks are not allowed to kill mortals at will.

If you participate in the battle with mortals, no matter what your cultivation level is, Heavenly Place will not tolerate it, Everyone also nodded.

As a Child, Cris is naturally unaccustomed to such a tragedy.

Rai said at this moment: "Actually, the rule that Cultivators are not allowed to kill mortals is also a rule established after Cris succeeded to the throne of the Emperor of Heaven..."

"In Ancient times, all races competed for the Dominance..."

"The Authority of the Heavenly Palace has not reached the level of controlling the Three Realms. At best, it is just an Top Level power. At that time, mortals were like ants. Who would care about the life and death of Ants..

?"

"It was not until Cris succeeded to the throne that he coerced the Three Realms and established this rule. This made the lives of Mortals and was valued by all Ethnic groups."

Hearing these words, everyone was stunned for a moment.No one would have imagined that this cruel Heavenly Emperor would actually do such a thing.

...

In Mirror...

"Cris,Runnnnnn....!!!.", Cris heard his father's Scream.

He ran to pull his father, but was pushed down by his father, and roared at Cris in a tone he had never heard before: "Run,...run!"

Cris had never seen his father look like this, he was really frightened.

He ran out of the village without looking back. The road in front of him was a mountain of corpses piled up.

"Ugh...", Cris, who was running, seemed to hear a faint voice from the corpse under his feet.He followed the voice.

It was a woman with a blood hole in her neck, showing the trachea at the neck.

The woman wasn't dead yet. She opened her mouth, but couldn't make a sound. Her mouth was moving, but blood was gushing out from her neck. She stared at Cris with wide eyes. In those eyes, there was endless pleading....

Cris looked down, only to realize that there was a baby in the woman's arms.He picked up the baby, and the woman at this moment seemed to have a flash of relief in her eyes, and She nodded vigorously to Cris.After that, the woman remained motionless, her vitality cut off.

Cris's face was pale, he glanced at the dead woman, and looked at the corpses lying in a pool of blood.It's like a graveyard here.

In the whole village, it seemed that there were only two lives left, him and the swaddling baby in his arms.

He began to run towards wilderness,towards the outside of the village, towards the ruined Temple.

.....

"This baby can't be Empress Eve, right..?."

When they saw this, all the powerhouses in front of the bronze ancient mirror were stunned.

Eve's eyelids trembled even more.Everyone knows that Eve is the sister of the Emperor of Heaven.But it seems that, looking at the current situation, everyone in Gu Changqing's family is dead, and there was not his Sister.

Moreover, the baby who suddenly appeared in the picture is a bit too coincidental!

"Could it be that Cris and Eve are not Siblings...? Instead,Cris Saved Eve and Made his Sister..?", At this moment, this guess popped up in everyone's mind.

"It's no wonder that the Emperor of Heaven will be so cruel to the Empress Eve, and even take away the immortal root of the her, It seems that he has never regarded her as his sister from the beginning."

"But even if Empress Eve was not his Sister, But his behaviour cannot be justified..!"

Ray spoke at the right time, comforting Eve.

But She was indifferent, he wants to enter Eve's heart.

However, Eve had no time to deal with him.At this moment, She only felt a buzzing sound in her mind.After learning She is not Cris's Sister, her mood is extremely complicated.

"Could it be that just because I'm not your sister, You treated me so cruely...!", Eve thought in Mind.

.....

In the Mirror ...

The old Cultivator in the broken temple was not longer there.

Cris hid in the ruined temple, behind the collapsed wooden beams, his whole body was shaking, and the tragic situation in the village made him feel that the sky seemed to collapse.He heard the sound of the broken temple, the rustling of footsteps on the straw.

He stuck his head out and looked, it was an indistinct sound and shadow, staggering toward the ruined temple.

"Boom...Crash...!",Suddenly thunder sounded in the sky, and the thunder light dispelled all the darkness.

He looked like very scary person.His face was stained with mud, his hair was covered with shawls like a madman, and his body was covered in blood clothes, and blood stains kept dripping.It's like a blood-soaked Vampire...

Crisdidn't dare to look at that face anymore. He hurriedly hid behind the wooden beam and didn't even dare to breathe. He quietly covered the mouth of the baby in his arms with his hands.

"Child..., come out.", Cris heard the Devil like voice, which aroused boundless fear in his heart.The figure staggered and fell to the ground.Resisting the fear, Cris slowly walked towards the figure.It was not until he walked in front of this figure that Cris knew that this was the old Cultivator.

"What's wrong with you?", Cris asked him.

The old Cultivator didn't answer, just looked at him with a very strange look, and there seemed to be endless melancholy hidden in those eyes.After a long time, there seemed to be a flash of determination in the eyes of the old Cultivatar.He took out an ancient book from his arms and stuffed it into Gu Changqing's arms.

"This is a Mysterious Ancient Book, don't let people know that You have this.",he added

"Also remember, this Book should only be used by You...!"

Cris had never seen that old Cultivatar's expression so serious.He nodded subconsciously.The old Cultivator continued: "Poor Lad, I'm going to die,"I've been lonely all my life, I don't have half a descendant under my knees, and now I'm about to die, can you give me a kowtow and call me Master...?"

Cris couldn't understand the old Cultivator's long-cherished wish, he just did it.The Old Cultivator gave him a good impression. He was very kind and kind. Seeing that the other party was about to die, Cris was moved.

He kowtowed to the old Cultivator and called out to him Master.

At this moment, the old Cultivator was so weak that he waved his hand towards the outside of the temple, exhaling his last breath and said: "Go, never come back."

Cris began to run wildly, towards the outside of the village and into the mountains.

Father and mother died, the old Cultivator died, and overnight, everyone seemed to have died.The sight of the village was about to disappear, and Cris couldn't help but look back.

The village of the past has become a blood prison, with corpses lying on the ground and fires blazing into the sky...

Cris's father's voice sounded in a trance in Cris's ear, Run, Run....!!!
