248: The Protagonist of Heaven and Earth

As expected, after arriving at the Sect Elder Hall, the outstanding young generation of the Ji Family arrived one after another, including the former sequences; of course, the current sequences had changed, and that boy Ji Ping'an was the first sequence.

Ji Ping'an also came out, his face full of joy, not expecting to be released so quickly; he was so happy, as Cultivating with the Third Ancestor these past few days had stifled him.

"The reason I called you here this time is because I have deduced that the Heaven and Earth Protagonists of the Heaven Realm have already appeared, but I cannot deduce what race they are. I am asking you to find the Heaven and Earth Protagonists this time. They are favored by the Heaven Realm's Luck, and if we can bring them under our sect, it will be of great benefit to us," the Second Ancestor said directly.

"Understood," Ji Yi and the others replied, then withdrew.

"This is a bit difficult," Ji Yi thought to himself, "I heard that recently, races in the Heaven Realm have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. If this continues, the number of races will definitely surpass that of our Manghuang Domain."

One must know that even though the races of the Manghuang Domain sound like only the Human Race, Yao Race, and Sea Race, the Yao Race and Sea Race actually contain tens of thousands of races; the Human Race simply refers to them collectively as the Yao Race and Sea Race.

Before the Heaven and Earth Protagonists emerge, they are very difficult to identify. Even those standing at the peak of the Immortal Dao need to observe and deduce for a long time before they can determine the identity of the Heaven and Earth Protagonists.

Of course, the Heaven and Earth Protagonists have one characteristic: their intelligence develops very quickly. Therefore, everyone's goal should be focused on those very intelligent races.

Ji Yi and Ji Ziyan left the Ji Family. This time, they chose the eastern direction. In Ji Yi's opinion, the East always carries a sense of mysterious power.

Leaving the Manghuang Domain, Ji Yi arrived on a plain where he couldn't see the end even with his divine eyes. The Heaven Realm was too vast; the area of any single region was larger than a planet.

Ji Yi saw many races, some like cows, some like horses, some like wolves. They were not Vicious Beasts; there was a clear distinction in their physique and intelligence. They had not yet embarked on the path of Cultivation and were considered wild beasts.

Vicious Beasts would attack humans without hesitation, but many of these wild beasts were very docile and would not attack people.

"Are you the Heaven and Earth Protagonist?" Ji Yi grabbed a rabbit and asked, rubbing its cheek. The rabbit just stared at Ji Yi with wide, watery eyes, its expression telling Ji Yi that it didn't understand human speech.

"You don't look like it either," Ji Yi said, putting down the little rabbit and letting it run off happily.

Holding Ji Ziyan's hand and strolling across the grassland, Ji Yi felt very content; it had been a long time since he had felt such a sense of being at peace with the world.

Ji Yi and Ji Ziyan lay on the vast grassland, the setting sun warming their faces, a pleasant and comfortable feeling.

The rabbit they had just released ran back, curiously observing Ji Yi and Ji Ziyan, and also lay down on the grass to bask in the setting sun, mimicking Ji Yi.

Ji Yi released Xiao Zhao from the Small World. There was no danger now, so he could let Xiao Zhao enjoy the fresh air.

"Wow! Beautiful grassland, here I come!" Xiao Zhao jumped onto Ji Yi's forehead, spreading her eight tentacles as if embracing the sunlight.

"Wow, little bunny." Girls are irresistible to cute things. Seeing the little rabbit lying nearby, Xiao Zhao curiously hopped over and extended a tentacle to stroke the little rabbit's fur.

"This texture, I love it, I love it," Xiao Zhao said excitedly.

The little rabbit also curiously observed the small creature on its belly. Xiao Zhao's stroking made it very comfortable, so it simply lay on its back, letting Xiao Zhao pet it as much as she wanted.

"Daddy, this rabbit is so cute, it must be delicious roasted," Xiao Zhao's eyes gleamed as if she saw a delicious meal.

Although the little rabbit didn't understand what Xiao Zhao was saying, Xiao Zhao's gaze frightened it. It flipped over and scurried away; this world was too dangerous.

"Don't run!" Xiao Zhao cried out, her tentacles extending from her back and grabbing the little rabbit back.

The little rabbit looked scared. It was over; its life was in danger.

"You're just a little glutton. This rabbit has a connection with us; we can't eat it," Ji Yi said, poking Xiao Zhao.

"Daddy, what does 'connection' mean?" Xiao Zhao expressed her confusion.

"A connection is a connection. You'll understand later," Ji Yi also didn't know how to explain.

"Okay, Mommy, do you know?" Xiao Zhao's gaze turned to Ji Ziyan.

"Mommy doesn't know how to explain it either. You'll understand later," Ji Ziyan said with a smile.

"Let's go. I'll play with you next time," Xiao Zhao released the little rabbit. The little rabbit ran wildly, vowing never to get close to bipedal beasts again.

Ji Yi's family of three decided to camp here. Ji Yi set up a tent, took out grilling tools, brought out a table and chairs, released spirit fruits, made iced drinks, and casually caught a Vicious Beast for the grilling Materials.

"La la la..." Ji Yi was grilling, Ji Ziyan was skewering meat beside him, and as for Xiao Zhao, she was responsible for singing by the side. This scene was full of warmth.

"Ah!" Ji Yi lay on the chair, took a sip of the iced drink, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of contentment.

"Ah!" Xiao Zhao imitated him, also letting out a sound.

"Daddy, Xiao Zhao truly loves Daddy so much!" Xiao Zhao expressed her happiness at that moment.

"What about me?" Ji Ziyan was jealous.

"Mommy, Xiao Zhao, of course, loves you very much too!" Xiao Zhao quickly said.

"That's more like it," Ji Ziyan rubbed Xiao Zhao's head.

"Ziyan, I love you too," Ji Yi said cheesily.

"Xiao Zhao is still here," Ji Ziyan said, blushing.

"I didn't hear anything," Xiao Zhao sensibly covered her ears with two tentacles.

After eating and drinking, Ji Yi's family of three took a walk, then lay on chairs looking at the sky. Late at night, they returned to the tent to rest.

The next day, after breakfast, Ji Yi's family continued their journey to search for the Heaven and Earth Protagonists, who were somewhere unknown.

On the vast grassland, three small figures flew across the plain. Every time they saw a race, they would descend to observe carefully, mainly to see if those races showed signs of developing towards production. Intelligent races always begin by making simple tools.

Time passed quickly. Just exploring this vast grassland took Ji Yi nearly half a year. He had already examined hundreds of races, but found no signs of them producing tools.

Coming out of the grassland, they entered an endless mountain range. In Ji Yi's opinion, perhaps that vast grassland was just a basin.

The mountains were very high, averaging ten thousand meters in height, and even more races lived here.

"Chirp chirp chirp..." A noisy sound caught Ji Yi's attention. His gaze shifted, and Ji Yi discovered a group of monkeys playing in the jungle, swinging on vines hanging from trees.

"Monkeys!" Ji Yi's eyes lit up. According to Earth's theory of evolution, humans evolved from monkeys. The chances of these monkeys being the Heaven and Earth Protagonists were very high.
