Everyone looked at Lin Xuanji.
According to the Old Storyteller, there was a high chance that Lin Xuanji would be the successor of the next generation's Storyteller!
"Old man, you're in such good health. There's no hurry to explain these things,"
Lin Xuanji pouted. "I'm still young and can't shoulder such a huge responsibility."
The Old Storyteller said, "Fortune and misfortune are unpredictable. Although I can divine everything, I can't divine how long I can live."
"It's better to say some things in advance."
"Old man, don't say anymore. It's inauspicious."
Lin Xuanji frowned again.
Although he joked around with the Old Storyteller and scolded him impolitely, in his heart, the Old Storyteller was his kin!
The Old Storyteller smiled with a reminiscing expression. "I've taken in four disciples in this lifetime and arranged you guys according to the Heaven, Earth, Black and Yellow rankings. Heavenly Secrets is your Eldest Senior Brother. "
"Among the four of you, Heavenly Secrets is the most talented and cultivated the fastest. Be it in terms of combat strength or wisdom, he far surpasses you guys."
Lin Xuanji nodded. "Indeed, senior brother is better than me."
"The four of you have different personalities. Heavenly Secrets is calm and mature; Earth Secrets is a little old-fashioned and doesn't know how to adapt; Yellow Secrets is honest and pure; as for you …"
The Old Storyteller looked at Lin Xuanji and paused for a moment. "Your personality is the most similar to mine. Unrestrained and frivolous."
"Normally speaking, Heavenly Secrets should be the most suitable to inherit the Storyteller."
"Unfortunately, I was careless and Heavenly Secrets was led astray. Now that he's at this point, there's no turning back."
At the mention of Heavenly Secrets, the Old Storyteller's eyes revealed a hint of sorrow.
No matter what, Heavenly Secrets was his eldest disciple and far surpassed Lin Xuanji and the other two in terms of wisdom, personality, talent and combat strength.
The Old Storyteller had high hopes for Heavenly Secrets as well.
To think that Heavenly Secrets would plot against the experts of the world in order to cultivate the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra, causing rivers of blood to flow in the battle of Heaven and Earth Valley!
"Senior, traces of the primordial races have been appearing frequently in Tianhuang Mainland all these years and all the races are restless. The cultivation world should be prepared."
Su Zimo couldn't help but ask.
The old storyteller did not answer. He glanced sideways and asked, "You must be very disappointed with the major sects and forces of the cultivation world, right?"
Su Zimo didn't say anything, but it was a tacit agreement.
Over the years, they had experienced many things. The attitude of cultivators towards the primordial races was no longer tough. Instead, they were filled with fear.
The Southern Region's Southern Duel Sect was destroyed by the Blood Vine race without a single super sect appearing!
Without harming themselves, no one was willing to wade into these muddy waters.
However, if the major sects and factions maintained that attitude, the primordial races would walk out of the forbidden grounds sooner or later and invade and kill everywhere in Tianhuang Mainland. At that time, who would be able to escape?!
When the nest is overturned, there are no unbroken eggs!
"Actually, it's not their fault."
The old storyteller said, "Firstly, the human race has never been threatened since ancient times. In such an environment, they would naturally be at ease and afraid of battle."
"Secondly, the Humans' luck has indeed declined in this era. Whether it's Mahayana Great Ancestors or Rulers, they're far fewer than in ancient times."
"Some super sects don't even have Sovereigns! There's no way they can fight against the primordial races in a head-on clash. "
Su Zimo nodded.
Dapamkara Temple was one of them.
The old storyteller continued, "Thirdly, and this is also the most important point. Right now, the cultivation world lacks a peerless expert who can lead the human race! "
"In the ancient era, there were peerless experts like the Human Emperor. With a single call, all the emperors in the world responded and none of them dared to disobey!"
"But now, the human race lacks such an expert."
Su Zimo gradually understood.
Only by gathering the emperors of the world together could they fight against the primordial races.
Who were emperors?
All of them were top-tier existences in Tianhuang Mainland!
If there were no peerless experts suppressing and commanding the world, who would be willing to bow down and obey orders?
"Not even senior?"
Su Zimo asked.
"No,"
The old storyteller shook his head. "Be it in terms of reputation or combat strength, I'm far inferior."
"With my identity as the storyteller of Enigma Palace, I might be able to gather some emperors. However, if we're counting on us to fight against the primordial races, I'm afraid it won't bode well for us."
Su Zimo frowned with a heavy heart.
In that case, if the primordial races joined forces and launched an unprecedented war against the human race, there was a high chance that the human race would be suppressed completely!
At that time, the primordial races would regain control of Tianhuang Mainland.
The fate of the human race would be the same as in the primordial era – they would be enslaved and used as food while losing their freedom.
The old storyteller thought for a moment and continued, "Of course, you guys don't have to be too pessimistic."
"There are still some variables in this lifetime after all."
With that said, the old storyteller smiled and looked at Su Zimo.
"Me?"
Su Zimo was stunned.
The old storyteller nodded. "Firstly, you have a clone that cultivates among the Dragons. Furthermore, your status is noble and you're the young master of the Dragons."
"I believe that given your temperament, if the human race is in trouble, your Dragon Phoenix True Body will definitely not sit idly by."
Su Zimo nodded.
If the human race was truly in trouble, the Dragon Phoenix True Body would do its best to persuade the Dragons to help the human race!
The old storyteller continued, "Secondly, the birth of the taboos!"
"In the primordial era, two of the three taboos have already appeared. Furthermore, both of them are currently on the side of the human race. Their only weakness is that they have yet to truly grow."
Su Zimo did not reply.
Actually, there was a high chance that this lifetime would be an unprecedented situation where the three Primordial Taboos would gather!
If there was sufficient time, the three Primordial Taboos would grow and the primordial races would definitely have no chance of winning!
Unfortunately, the primordial races would not give them too much time.
"There's a third variable,"
The old storyteller looked at Su Zimo and paused for a moment.
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat.
Could the old storyteller have divined the existence of Wu Dao's true body?
Actually, Wu Dao's true body was the greatest variable!
Pausing for a moment, the old storyteller continued, "The third variable is you! In this lifetime, the human race lacks a peerless expert who can command the world! "
"Your body is perfectly fused with the Creation Qinglian. Your future accomplishments are immeasurable!"
At that point, Su Zimo was certain that the old storyteller did not know of the existence of Wu Dao's true body despite his divine powers.
"Senior, your expectations are too high,"
Su Zimo laughed bitterly. "I've only just entered the Conjoint Body realm and am not even a Half-Martial Ancestor, let alone command the world and make emperors submit to my orders."
"That's why this is the variable!"
The old storyteller said, "In this lifetime, a war between the primordial races and the human race is inevitable. If you can grow into that peerless expert before that, the fate of the human race will change! "
"You once changed the fates of all living beings. I hope that you can defy the heavens and change the fates of the human race as well! “
