Chapter 1810: The Ninth World, the Angel's Sorrow!
Today's first update: Chapter 1810! 1

"For people other than our own people, the ladder is a way to ascend to heaven in one step. Those who can reach the first heaven can, in a certain sense, change their fate against heaven!"
Change fate against heaven?
What an ironic statement!
"Being a slave or maid for the angels, is it considered changing fate?" Xu Kun sneered.
Hao Jian and others also curled their lips and didn't care.
From their perspective, of course, they think so, but for many people who can reach the first heaven through the ladder opened by the angels, although they can only do the lowest and hardest work in the first heaven, but to say it out, it is also my slave in the angels.
Working, not shabby!
"Although the first heaven is vast, it is like a cage!" Xu Kun sighed.
Although he couldn't see, he could sense the boundless breadth of the first heaven, as well as the countless heavenly slaves and some low-level trialists, who were working under the rule of the three ordinary two-winged angels in this world.
The three ordinary two-winged angels in the lower world, although they were the worst among the nine types of angels, with only C-level bloodlines, were still in a high position when facing all the creatures in the first heaven.
And the first heaven was also the most basic existence of the entire angel race. In terms of quantity alone, even if the ordinary two-winged angels were not counted in the first heaven, the proportion of heavenly slaves and creatures of various races in the entire angel race and its subordinate races was as high as 99%!
One thing must be mentioned, whether it is the upper three seraphim, cherubim and angels, the middle three archangels, angels of power and angels of strength, or the lower three angels of power, archangels and ordinary angels, plus the fallen angels who are not considered orthodox angels.
The population base of the angel race is only 9.8 million!
This is a very small number. Let's not talk about the races like the Blue Yin Grass whose population base is calculated in trillions, or the royal family like the Wood Clan whose population is impossible to count. Just take a low-level race of flesh and blood. Even if the population base is small, the race base types of the Moonless Demon Cat Clan, which is worried about survival, are hundreds of millions!
Including the Dark Elves, who were slaves and servants of the Titans before the War of Independence and suffered from bullying, but they also maintained a race base of hundreds of millions.
A great royal family, a top ten existence among all races, has a population of only 9.8 million.
Compared with other royal families, the Angel Clan does not even have a fraction of it!
In other words, the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals who died under Xu Kun's sword before were already a huge force compared to the Angel Clan. However, although Xu Kun absorbed their own power after killing them, these angels can still be resurrected under the Angel Clan's reincarnation technique.
But even so, the racial base of 9.8 million still seems so depressed.
The reason is that in addition to the noble blood of the angels themselves and the difficulty of giving birth to offspring, it is also the almost pathological view of angels in choosing a spouse!
Especially the upper three angels, they don’t even intermarry with each other.
In extreme terms, the spouse of each of the upper three angels basically takes the person closest to them as the first choice.
That is the so-called brother-sister match, or even father-daughter match, mother-son match!
Because they adhere to the saying: pure blood!
(Ahem, a certain despicable nation has this almost pathological view of choosing a spouse, that is, close relatives, especially the higher the level, the more so~ and the country established by this nation has a population of 9.8 million. The friends in the group should all know which nation this is~)
In this almost pathological combination, there are both advantages and disadvantages!
That is, close relatives combine. Once the offspring is conceived, their blood is inherited from both parents. Which type of angel will give birth to which type of angel offspring.
To a certain extent, it has eliminated the hybrids.
However, as more and more such combinations occur, the number of blood deformities is also increasing day by day. What's worse, some offspring born from close relatives have lost their fertility.
But in this regard, even if the angels see their own race declining day by day, they still do not choose to change and break through their thinking logic.
Of course, this does not mean that they have not found a solution.
The upper three angels still maintain this kind of mate selection view, so Yan told Xu Kun before that she would never marry in her life, she... did not want to marry her relatives!
As for the middle three and lower three angels, the upper three angels as rulers have relaxed the restrictions.
There are also tribes like the Xiliang Women's Kingdom that specializes in raising offspring for the middle and lower six angels.
This method of borrowing seeds by imitating the dragon race is not an exception for the angels. However, unlike the dragon race, which is hungry and can get along with any race, the angels have the lowest requirement that the other party is a humanoid creature.
Logically speaking, under the kingdom of heaven, in addition to the wolf race, there is also a nearby human race.
For the wolf tribe, all the subjects of the Western Regions became believers of the angel tribe, which was their way to spread seeds and love.
As for the human race, if it weren't for Frieza's disastrous defeat, the angel tribe's high-ranking officials would have bowed their heads and asked the Battle Saint to spare Frieza, Frieza, the son of heaven, would have become a thing of the past.
Therefore, the human race became a forbidden area for the angel tribe, and even the churches of the angel tribe were extremely rare.
Although there are some examples of intermarriage with other races, it still cannot change the dilemma of negative population growth of the angel race.
In this regard, the angel race has to bear the pain by itself. As for whether there are other changes, outsiders do not know. After all, the kingdom of heaven is closed to the outside world. Except for believers and affiliated races, others cannot peek in.
Perhaps, in recent years, the angel race and the Shura race have developed close ties, and there may be the idea of blood exchange.
After all, if this continues, the angel race does not need to wait for the challenge of the lower races. Because of the continuous decline of the race base, it will fall from the altar.
This huge crisis encountered by the angel race itself is no longer a secret among all races.
It is called: Angel's Sorrow by people who like to do good things!
And these angels, less than 10 million, most of whom are angels of the middle and lower three levels, rule the entire Nine Heavens, including the Three Illusion Clan, the Light Feather Clan, the Pegasus Clan and a series of affiliated races and heavenly slaves. The number of these ruled is also unknown to outsiders.
But the number of people in the first heaven alone is more than hundreds of billions!
Maybe even the angels don't know how many creatures there are in the first heaven!
The nine heavens are more like a pyramid, the more pointed they are.
But this small group of people enjoy the support from the bottom up, this is not the 80/20 rule!
After hearing Xu Kun's words, Chu Weiwei, who was accompanying him outside the ladder, nodded and replied: "That's right, not only the first heaven, but also the following heavens. All those who climbed the ladder, except those who could not find the entrance to a certain heaven before the ladder passage was closed and were wiped out by the passage plane, the rest, who could not reach the top of the heaven, could only stay in a certain heaven."
Xu Kun narrowed his eyes, he had heard a little about these things.
All creatures living in the nine heavens can only enter, not leave!
From another perspective, living in the Nine Heavens, you can get the protection of the angels. Even the most humble slaves do not need to be burdened by external wars. Staying in the Nine Heavens, you only need to serve the angels and obey their orders. Although you may not live a rich life, you will pay the price of your life when you anger the angels, but as long as you work hard, you can at least guarantee your livelihood.
This kind of sadness in the eyes of other races is no less than heaven for more than 20,000 people like the Xiliang Women's Kingdom who need to sell their bodies to survive!
But at the same time, once you move into the Nine Heavens, it means that you cannot leave without the consent of the angels.
It is a blessed land, but also a prison!
It depends on how you choose and what your life goals are. Not everyone has the right to choose their own life. In the Nine Heavens, listening to the teachings of angels and serving angels is not necessarily a bad thing.
The eleven steps of the first heaven, the pressure attached to the climbers, has no effect on Xu Kun.
But the effect of reaching the top of the Ninety-Nine-Layer Ladder is comparable to climbing the Inverted Mountain above the 20th floor of the Haotian Tower. It naturally cannot be that simple.
