Su Zimo recalled the young man that Wu Dao's primary body had killed in the Hadal Sinful Lands.
Cultivators of the Celestial Bestowment World had to be respectful before this young man.
And this person had claimed to be from the celestial court!
Celestial Bestowment, the celestial court...
The behemoth behind the Celestial Bestowment World was very likely the celestial court!
The old man with the iron crown said, "The previous Sword Master told me that although the Great Emperor of Allheaven fought side by side with the demons, he wasn't bewitched. He only fought for a common goal, to fight against the behemoth behind the Celestial Realm!"
The eight peak lords opened their mouths, wanting to say something, but no words came out.
This completely overturned their understanding of the world, making it difficult for them to digest.
After a long pause, Lu Yun said, "In other words, everything we once knew was a lie from the Celestial Bestowment World?"
"The evil demons and sinful spirits of the ten sinful lands didn't commit any sins at all, but only because they lost the war?"
Su Zimo suddenly recalled the words of the plain-clothed swordsman Luo Jun in the Fiendish Battlefield.
It was true that evil couldn't triumph over good.
If evil triumphed over good, it would no longer be evil.
Yu Lan said, "In that case, Great Emperor Allheaven wasn't the only one who rebelled. Great emperors from other eras did as well."
"That's right."
The old man nodded and said, "For example, the Douzhan Sin Land was formed when the Douzhan Emperor was defeated and killed, and many Blood Apes were imprisoned."
"The Hadal Sinful Lands, the Star Sinful Lands, and the Empyrean Sinful Lands were all the same.
"For example, the Blood Ape Realm, the Star Realm, and our Sword Realm are considered lucky. At the very least, we managed to preserve our legacies. As for the Dark Realm, they were destroyed because of that great battle. All of their people and living beings were killed.
Su Zimo fell silent.
The Empyrean Era, the Hadal Era, the War Era, the Allheaven Era, the Dark Era, the Star Era...
Great emperors from so many eras had been invincible in their respective eras and stood at the pinnacle of all beings, but they'd all chosen to defy the heavens!
Alas, they'd lost miserably in the end and died.
This was a heaven-defying battle.
Even after so many years had passed, Su Zimo was still able to faintly sense the devastation of those peerless battles through the river of time.
Of course, he still had many doubts in his heart.
When Wu Dao's original body underwent the Heavenly Tribulation, eight lightning phantoms had appeared. Other than the Nine Heavens Xuan Nv Empress, the Nine Nether Emperor, the Douzhan Emperor, the Allheaven Emperor, the Dark Emperor, and the Star Emperor, there were two more.
They were the Great Emperor of Light and the Great Emperor of Infinity.
There were no Buddhists from the World of Light or the Heavenly Realm in the Ten Great Sinners.
Which side were the two Martial Monarchs on back then?
The Infernal Emperor seemed to be on the side of the Celestial Court. Su Zimo guessed that the consciousness trapped in the Avici Hell was the Lord of Hell!
As for one of the Ten Great Sinful Lands, there was a sinful land called Hell.
If that was the case, why would the Great Emperor of Light and the Great Emperor of Avici appear in the tenth tribulation of the True Martial Heavenly Tribulation with the other Great Emperors?
Of course, Su Zimo still had a big question in his heart.
"Why?"
Su Zimo asked. "Why did the Great Emperors of Allheaven and the others fight against that colossus? Why did they defy the heavens?"
"I don't know."
The old man with the iron crown shook his head. "As for the reason, perhaps only the powerhouses who lived in that era and participated in that battle know.
Countless years have passed, and the truth of the past has long been lost in the river of time. Who can truly say for sure? "
He took a deep breath. "Swordmasters, if this is something that has been passed down verbally, why didn't you tell the other sword cultivators? Why did you hide it?"
The old man with the iron crown smiled wryly. "How many sword cultivators do you think will believe this if we tell them now?"
The young man fell silent.
Even they would find it hard to accept this sudden news, let alone other sword cultivators.
After so many years, their hatred and enmity toward the sinful spirits had seeped deep into their bones. Who knew how much of their blood had been stained on their hands!
But now, the three swordmasters were suddenly telling them that there was more to it than meets the eye, that the sinful spirits might be innocent.
They cultivated the Sword Dao to slay demons and uphold justice.
But now, the sinful spirits they'd slain might not be sinful, and the righteousness they upheld might not be. This was tantamount to breaking the sword dao they'd held fast to for so many years!
"Do you know why it has to be passed down verbally?"
The thin old man asked Su Zimo and the others.
"Records left behind will be erased, so this is the only way," Yu Lan answered.
"That's only one of the reasons."
The thin old man continued, "The other reason is that the Celestial Bestowment World doesn't allow this rumor to spread. The more people who know about it, the easier it is to be exposed. If news of this reaches the Celestial Bestowment World, it'll be a disaster for Sword World! "
The fat old man also sighed. "Even if you know and believe this, what can you do? So many great emperors have failed … "
The thin old man said, "The Blood Ape World of this generation was originally a super world, but because of this, it clashed with the Celestial Bestowment World, resulting in the Blood Ape Calamity.
"More than ten Imperial Emperors of the Blood Ape race died, and countless clansmen died. They were reduced to a higher world. If the old ape of this generation hadn't submitted in the end, they might have even been wiped out!
"And this is only the strength of the Celestial Bestowment World.
"The Blood Ape race is naturally warlike and unruly. The old ape is even more so. Back then, he was willing to submit to the Celestial Bestowment World. Who knows how much humiliation and pain he endured.
"Later on, the Blood Ape race didn't go to the Celestial Bestowment World not because of the Blood Ape Calamity, but because the Blood Ape race didn't have the face to face the descendants of their ancestors."
The three Sword Masters sighed and sighed with emotion.
Su Zimo vaguely understood the old man's dilemma.
The second rumor was that they were worried about bringing trouble to Sword World, so they naturally didn't dare to mention it to other sword cultivators.
The first rumor came from the Celestial Bestowment World. They knew it was a lie, but they didn't want to tell other sword cultivators.
That was why they'd concealed the matter.
"The Celestial Bestowment World is only the tip of the iceberg," the thin old man said. "It's used to monitor and patrol the three thousand worlds. That's why it's so special and transcendent in the three thousand worlds. "
Su Zimo nodded.
Making an enemy out of the Celestial Bestowment World was challenging the celestial court behind it!
"You just said that the Celestial Bestowment World was temporarily closed and you were expelled. You weren't even allowed to exchange your contributions for treasures."
"Yes."
Lu Yun nodded. "Although this was targeted at all of the three thousand worlds, I felt that the Celestial Bestowment World was targeting us."
After all, Su Zimo had benefited the most from the Fiend Battlefield.
Once the Celestial Bestowment World was closed and all of the three thousand worlds were expelled, Su Zimo would be in grave danger!
The Celestial Bestowment World might've been behind the great battle that had taken place later.
"There's no need to doubt it. This is a warning from the Celestial Bestowment World to Sword World!"
"Why is that?"
He asked with a frown.
The old man with the iron crown said, "Perhaps it's because of the Great Allheaven Emperor, or perhaps it's for some other reason."
