Su Chengyu’s question left Chang Li stunned in place, clearly because Su Chengyu’s brief words made him think of himself.
Seeing through what the Little Fox was thinking, Su Chengyu smiled: "You’re different. It’s understandable for the weak to seek protection from the strong; after all, no one starts off strong. But do you know the fundantal difference between you and them?"
Chang Li pondered for a mont and shook his head in confusion: "Master, I don’t understand."
"Staying by my side is more like undergoing a process to beco strong, rather than just seeking protection. The fact that you didn’t ask to directly kill Hu Xiao is the best proof. Whether it’s because of hatred or dissatisfaction in your heart, the path you’ve embarked on is one aiming to make yourself stronger. But they..."
Su Chengyu glanced outside at the tribal people gathered, discussing sothing. In their eyes, he only saw delight.
They weren’t showing expressions of having found the future of the tribe; in the end, they just viewed Su Chengyu as a powerful Big Monster.
The offerings they brought are the best proof; what they sought in him was liberation, not their own future.
"But if survival itself is not possible, what future is there to consider?"
Chang Li’s instinctive words also startled Su Chengyu.
Then quickly realizing, his insight at this mont was largely because his perspective was too elevated.
Even in another realm, Su Chengyu’s strength was among the top tier.
His view of issues no longer prioritizes the individual, and expecting these people to have such foresight is indeed asking too much.
"You’re right too; my expectations of them seem indeed too high."
Su Chengyu exhaled deeply; Chang Li’s perspective on the present also helped Su Chengyu see many things he hadn’t noticed.
"Master, do you really want to save them?"
Su Chengyu shook his head: "In this world where the Demon Clan runs rampant, unless I stay at this tribe forever, even if I rescue them now, sooner or later, they would fall into the hands of other demon clans."
The Xia Country’s humans beca an apex existence in the food chain, undoubtedly because of the uprising led by the Human Emperor.
Su Chengyu certainly wouldn’t think he, having fallen into this world, could rival the Human Emperor or accomplish such things.
Moreover...
Even back then, if not for the subtle manipulation by Empress Nuwa, who hadn’t fully beco the Immortal Emperor, the humans’ ultimate fate might have been different.
"So, Master plans to leave them be?"
Su Chengyu glanced outside and then calmly said.
"Not entirely; I will do so things. As for the steps they can take, that’ll depend on themselves."
For Su Chengyu, enlightening these primitive tribal people was rely a matter of convenience.
He was destined not to beco what these people expected him to be, the Guardian God of the tribe from now on. Ultimately, his motives for coming here are just to understand the hope his father placed in these people, which might unravel his own dilemmas.
However, to begin all this, Su Chengyu first needed to find a ans to communicate with these people.
Su Chengyu looked around and didn’t find any signs of records like murals.
But in the corner, he saw quite a few decently flat stones.
Unfortunately, although there were indeed so engravings on the stones, they hadn’t developed into anything resembling writing.
Su Chengyu simply observed the stones for a while, yet even with his current deductive abilities, deducing the aning of these engravings out of thin air was still a bit too challenging.
At this mont, the elder of the tribe brought people inside again, and this ti he didn’t bring any offerings.
While Su Chengyu felt puzzled, the elder suddenly knelt and frantically knocked his head against the ground, pleading to Su Chengyu in this way.
"Enough!"
Su Chengyu waved his hand, speaking with so dissatisfaction, and the elder’s body instantly lost its ability to move.
As he feared he had angered Su Chengyu, Su Chengyu’s voice appeared again in his mind.
"You don’t need to resort to such ans to coerce ; I will save you."
Due to the inability to conduct two-way communication, Su Chengyu had to temporarily give up on dialogue and use the most straightforward way to inform them of his intentions.
The elder looked up in astonishnt, clearly surprised by Su Chengyu’s intention, since Su Chengyu had already refused their offerings twice, making him think Su Chengyu didn’t want to heed their matters.
Su Chengyu sighed deeply; understanding he couldn’t explain clearly now, he could only raise his hand to move the engraved stone over to the space between them.
The elder, seeing Su Chengyu’s thod of remotely controlling such massive stones, was shocked and stood there, unsure of what to do.
Su Chengyu walked to the elder, pointed at the engravings on the stone.
Though the elder did not imdiately grasp the point, he soon understood Su Chengyu’s intention, then brought in a woman and a young child.
Firstly, he let the woman stand alone, then after a while, he brought the child over and pointed to the records on the slab.
Su Chengyu quickly realized that the slabs recorded events of tribal births.
Su Chengyu nodded in satisfaction and then approached the child, gently removing all the scars from the child’s body.
This miraculous thod prompted the elder to imdiately kneel and fervently thank Su Chengyu.
Once the woman was taken away, Su Chengyu brought another slab, employing the sa thod to understand the scant civilization of this tribe.
These primitive tribal people’s intelligence was not particularly high, even the elder, due to cognitive limitations, often couldn’t comprehend Su Chengyu’s intentions.
Fortunately, Su Chengyu’s deductive skills were strong enough nowadays, and with a point of entry, he finally began to gradually understand the communication thods of these primitive humans.
"So your ancestors originally did not live in this place; you were thrown here by so unknown force more than a decade ago and then established the tribe?"
After a brief understanding of the tribe’s history, Su Chengyu promptly found a piece of information that intrigued him greatly.
After a few seconds of hesitation, the elder understood Su Chengyu’s aning and then nodded.
Su Chengyu remained silent, knowing prior to his inquiry he had a rough guess about who orchestrated this.
When he was unconscious, Su Zhedian left four position coordinates on him, correlating with the origins of this tribe, he could almost confirm that all this was done by Su Zhedian.
And since the people were brought here by Su Zhedian later, the key lies in this place itself.
