Afterwards, Jianchen cut his finger and sealed the blood that belonged to Kun Tian into his finger.
As he sealed the blood, he could not help but think of the mysterious Tian Sheng, "If Tian Sheng really is a supreme expert who can see through my mask, then I definitely won't be able to hide my actions in the fifth hall from him. If his goal is the same as the Heartless Child's, then even if he knows my identity, he'll take the initiative to cover it up for me.
"As a result, I probably don't need to conceal myself before Tian Sheng," Jianchen pondered. He still did not feel safe. What if he was wrong?
"Looks like I have to find some time to test Tian Sheng. At the very least, I need to confirm which side he's on. That way, I'll be able to know what to do during the ritual."
.....
The next day, Jianchen went to the Darkstar Divine Hall alone to seek an audience with the Darkstar Emperor. Within the same majestic hall, the Darkstar Emperor sat on the throne with a serene expression.
Jian Chen, on the other hand, bowed slightly as he stood below in a saluting posture.
"Kun Tian, why have you come to find the Emperor?" The Darkstar Emperor asked with an extremely calm tone.
"Emperor, there are still some things that I do not understand regarding the ritual, so I wish to see senior Tian Sheng. I hope senior Tian Sheng can clear up my doubts," Jianchen said from below.
The Darkstar Emperor pondered for a moment before asking, "Is Tian Sheng here?"
The first call did not receive a response from Tian Sheng.
Afterwards, the Darkstar Emperor called a second time and a third time.
After calling out to him three times, Tian Sheng still did not appear. Immediately, a wisp of helplessness appeared on the Darkstar Emperor's face. He said, "Tian Sheng has always been elusive. Even I can't find him. Come back another day."
"Yes, emperor!" Jianchen revealed a sliver of regret. After bidding farewell, he left the Darkstar Divine Hall and returned to the fifth hall.
"Kun Tian, do you need something from me?"
However, not long after Jianchen returned to the fifth hall, a familiar voice rang out in the empty hall.
He abruptly raised his head and saw Tian Shengxian's illusory figure floating in the air. There was not a trace of aura around him, and his Divine Sense was blank. If one did not use their eyes, they would not be able to sense his existence at all.
A gleam of light flashed through Jianchen's eyes. He immediately stood up and bowed to Tian Sheng, "Junior Tian Sheng greets senior Tian Sheng!"
After pausing for a moment, Jian Chen continued, "I do have some matters that I would like to ask senior Sage about. I still have some doubts about the matters of the grand ceremony. I don't understand them completely …"
Afterwards, Tian Sheng's to Tian Sheng's, asked Tian Sheng to Tian Sheng to Tian Sheng and's, to answer to Tian Sheng ''s doubts, Tian Sheng to Sheng.
However, Tian Sheng did not seem to doubt him. He earnestly answered all of Jianchen's questions, as if he was truly working hard for the success of the ritual.
Tian Sheng's serious attitude made Jianchen doubt himself. He wondered if his guess about Tian Sheng's identity was wrong. Was Tian Sheng not on the same side as the Heartless Child?
"Thank you for your patience, senior Tian Sheng. It's just that the ritual this time is just too important to my race. Not only have I lost my memories, but I'm also affected by the remnant consciousness of the astral beast. Once I lose control, even I don't know what I'll do, so I'm under a lot of pressure. I'm afraid I'll affect the ritual." Jianchen revealed a deep sense of worry. He suddenly asked, "Tian Sheng, do you think the ritual this time will fail? What will happen if it fails? "
"Fail?" Tian Shengxian muttered those two words under his breath. He sank into his thoughts, and only after quite a while did he say gloomily, "If we fail, all the preparations and sacrifices we've made for the grand ritual over the past few years will be for naught. Our great goal of becoming a Chaotic Prime will fail as well. Even the divine beast … sigh …"
"What will happen to the divine beast?" Jianchen's heart skipped a beat as he asked calmly.
After a moment of silence, Tian Shengxian said, "If the Grand Ritual succeeds, that divine beast will become the primer for drawing out the remaining power of the Grand Exalt of my race. Its flesh and essence will disperse into the world, or it can be said that it will fuse with the world of my race and become a sacrifice for the Grand Ritual. However, if the ritual fails, not only will the divine beast have a chance at survival, but it will also fuse with the blood of all races. Perhaps it will obtain a fortuitous encounter as a result, and its strength will increase drastically. "
"Our race has done so many extremely cruel things to the divine beast, so the divine beast definitely holds deep-rooted hatred towards our race. As a result, once the ritual fails and the divine beast's strength increases, it will become a huge problem for our race."
Jianchen frowned as a cold light flashed through his eyes. He said coldly, "In other words, even if the ritual fails, we have to kill the divine beast before it matures, just in case it becomes a huge problem for our race in the future."
"As long as you understand. However, there's no need for you to worry about this. The emperor has already understood the stakes involved. When the time comes, he will personally take action to eliminate the problem." Tian Shengxian's figure slowly vanished. At the same time, a voice that seemed to carry some deeper meaning drifted into Jian Chen's ears, "Kun Tian, since you're the leader of the fifth hall, you obviously have your own mission. The success or failure of the ritual is not something you should be concerned about. Just focus on carrying out your mission."
With that, Tian Sheng vanished as well. Jianchen returned to his seat and sank into a long period of silence.
"If the ritual succeeds, Seiyu will definitely die. If the ritual fails, not only will Seiyu survive, but he will also obtain a fortuitous encounter. Tian Sheng has told me about Seiyu's life and death so straightforwardly. It's more like a hint to me, or a warning. "
"He's warning me that if I want Seiyu to survive, I need to destroy the ritual. Otherwise, Seiyu will die …"
"And that last sentence, the success or failure of the ritual is not something I should be concerned about. Just focus on carrying out my mission."
"The success or failure of the ritual is something all the Darkstar clansmen should be concerned about. After all, it's something that can change their fates, yet Tian Sheng says that it's not something I should be concerned about?"
"As for my mission, the first reason I entered the Darkstar clan is to save Seiyu, and the second reason is to complete the mission the Heartless Child gave me — to destroy the ritual …"
"No matter how I look at it, Tian Sheng's words don't seem to be directed at the former Kun Tian. Instead, they seem to be directed at my true identity, Jianchen."
