"The Nuwa Clan and the Pangu Clan."
Wang Xi was at a loss, as if too many things that she could not understand had been taught to her. Frowning, she said, "I know that the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan were both primeval deities, and their remains and magical equipment were often excavated in the Ancient Sages Sector tens of thousands of years ago. However, they have been rarer and rarer in recent years, but they are still found occasionally. So to speak, the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan were hostile, and the so-called Divine Palace was the warship of the Nuwa Clan."
"Therefore …"
Her eyes were ten times more brilliant than a moment ago. She could not help but raise her voice and say, "I was right. There is indeed a boundless universe beyond the Ancient Sages Sector. There are infinite worlds that can be cruised on such an unbelievable ship." "You are right.
Li Yao scratched his hair, wondering why Lord Wang did not know anything.
Such general information was not a secret for the Imperium, the Holy League, or any other forces in space. It did not concern the safety of the Xing Yao Federation, either. Li Yao pondered for a moment and told Wang Xi some of the general, fuzzy basic concepts.
Of course, they were limited to the war between the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan itself. As for why the war broke out, the position of mankind in the 'God-Sealing War', and the 'Three Fundamental Laws', they were all omitted.
The history from the age of ancient Cultivators to the modern Cultivation civilization would not be revealed easily, either.
Wang Xi listened quietly. Tears that were as translucent as pearls suddenly flowed out of her glittering eyes. She said excitedly, "I was right. My dream was real. The Ancient Sages Sector is indeed just a narrow, deep well. Only after you climb out of the well can you see the boundless universe."
Li Yao thought of something and took the opportunity to ask, "If Lord Wang knew nothing about it, how did you decide to explore the Divine Palace? Also, Lord Wang is very familiar with the internal structure of the Nuwa warship, including the fact that you passed the identity test in the most critical cabin. It is truly baffling."
Wang Xi glanced at Li Yao, and the brilliance in her eyes gradually dimmed. This time, she did not refuse to answer the question coldly but replied softly, "If I say that I don't know anything about it, will you believe me?"
"Wang Gong doesn't know either."
Li Yao was stunned. "What do you mean?"
"I also don't know what's going on. That's why I spared no expense to search for the Immortal Palace."
Frowning slightly, Wang Xi said, "Because there have been voices and mottled pictures in my head telling me that I will be able to solve everything and find out who I am exactly as long as I find the Divine Palace."
Li Yao held his breath, not daring to interrupt Wang Xi's recollection.
Leaning against one of the pillars, Wang Xi slowly slid down and sat down. Taking a long breath in relief, he stared at something that did not exist in midair in a daze and said hesitantly, "Since you were bold enough to join the trip to the Divine Palace, you must've collected my files in advance and know that I am from a remote valley on the border of the Great Qian Dynasty and Ghost Qin. Our poor village is the only place in the hundreds of square kilometers nearby.
Li Yao nodded. That was indeed what the information said.
'Lead Eunuch Wang Xi' was not a man who appeared out of nowhere. It was impossible that a eunuch of unknown origins would be allowed to approach the emperor himself, either.
"However, there is one thing that cannot be recorded in any of the files."
Wang Xi hesitated for a long time but still said it. "I was not born in that village. My foster parents told me before they died that I fell from the sky in a burning fireball and smashed into a desolate place deep inside the valley. When the fire died down, there was a dark iron shell inside the crater.
"My foster parents were both illiterate, poor villagers. Their only child was killed by wolves. While they were grieving, they noticed the anomaly in the sky and traced it back to the crash site, only to discover the mysterious iron shell.
"The iron shell split open from the middle, and a large cluster of thick, blue liquids spurted out. A wrinkled baby was soaking in the middle.
"Naturally, it was impossible for the two of them to know what the iron shell was exactly. They thought that it was a gift from the mercy of the heavens to soothe their pain of losing their child. Therefore, they brought me home and raised me.
"The iron ball fell from the sky, the blue, thick liquids, and the wrinkled baby."
Li Yao thought quickly and gradually outlined a fuzzy picture in his head.
"At first, they naturally did not tell me my real background. I grew up like the other lawless wild children in the village," Wang Xi said.
"Although I was not their biological child, my foster parents treated me very well because of the great luck and the fact that I was born when I was old. They even traveled hundreds of kilometers to the nearest town and asked a teacher to give me a name. My foster father's surname was Long, and Long Yangjun was my real name."
Li Yao blinked and took the opportunity to say, "So, this is your real appearance. You are a woman."
Long Yangjun coughed, looking rather unnatural. Instead of replying to Li Yao's question, she simply said, "However, as I grew up, I gradually discovered certain unexplainable, weird features on my body. I was truly different from other children.
"Since you boasted some of the blood of barbarians and were able to manifest such intense features of ferocious animals with the Barbarian Body Arts, you should know that most of the people in the borderland between the Great Qian Dynasty and the Dark Cloud Prairies were hybrids. They would more or less show some bizarre features, such as having one or two tusks, secretly growing a few feathers, or even having a tiny horn protruding out of their head. It was nothing unusual.
"However, even compared to those bizarre-shaped children, my body was the weirdest one. For example, the crystal external skeleton that could be triggered from inside my body freely was a feature that could not be explained at all.
"However, compared to my weird body, the pictures and sounds that often appeared deep inside my head were even more unbearable.
"I don't know if you've ever experienced such a feeling, but for as long as I can remember, weird, inexplicable pictures would always appear before my eyes every night when I was caught in a dream. I would also hear a lot of noises and noises.
"What you think in the day, you dream in the night. Normal people's dreams, however zigzagging and uncanny, cannot be separated from the real world that they are in during the day. The best they can do is twist and change.
"My uncanny dreams, on the other hand, were not something that a five-year-old child could bear at all. They would only crawl into my head like vipers on countless nights, giving me such a headache that I almost went crazy."
Li Yao's heart was beating so fast that he almost moaned aloud. He struggled to ask, "What — what exactly was your uncanny dream about?"
Long Yangjun shook her head and said gloomily, "It was like a mottled swirl made of the corpses of countless butterflies. Only now and then did I understand the bits and pieces of information. All in all, they were all bizarre-shaped people fighting each other, or a series of furiously burning stars in the boundless sea of stars. Real stars."
Li Yao breathed more and more quickly. "Are you talking about the scenes of the God-Sealing War in the primeval age?"
"I don't know," Long Yangjun said straightforwardly.
"I didn't even know the concepts of the Nuwa Clan, the Pangu Clan, and the God-Sealing War until today. How could I have known the meaning of the uncanny dreams a hundred years ago?"
Li Yao was silent. Two telepathic thoughts were fighting fiercely inside his head.
Although Long Yangjun's answer was not flawless, it did make a lot of sense and contained a lot of information. It did not seem to be completely false.
The mental devil, however, roared at the top of its voice, "Fake! Fake! It must be fake! Whether she is Wang Xi or Long Yangjun, she is one of the most dreadful beings in the Ancient Sages Sector. How can such a schemer who could manipulate the entire world of Cultivators trust an alien of unknown origins completely after only one hour and confess the mysteries of her birth to you? Isn't it too childish?"
"She must've dug a huge pit for you to jump into. Be careful."
"I know that you haven't had a competition of beliefs with Ding Ling Dong for a hundred years, and your belief must be thirsty. However, even if you are going to fall into her trap, you must not fall into the hands of such an ambiguous she-devil."
"Fair enough."
Li Yao calmed himself down, but he was still unsure. "However, it is true that she was alone, and she did not foresee that I would barge in. The attack that she was hit by Yan Liren was real, too. Everything suggests that even if it is a trap, it is not planned in advance but improvised on the spot.
"Therefore, it is unlikely that it is a trap targeting me or the Xing Yao Federation. I must've been involved in it by accident. Assuming that she is lying, what is her purpose exactly?"
"Who knows?"
The mental devil sneered. "Chances are that she is trying to win your sympathy by pretending to be pitiful so that you can help her control the Nuwa warship. Do you think she will suddenly change her attitude after the Nuwa warship is fully operational?"
"Not bad."
Li Yao was greatly alarmed. Such an enormous Nuwa warship would have been difficult to maneuver on its own even for someone who had a lot of connections with the warship in the past.
Li Yao was an expert of refining, and he had shown that he was rather familiar with the Nuwa warship. Chances were that Long Yangjun was tricking him into working as her assistant. After they managed to finish the maintenance of the Nuwa warship and soared into the sea of stars, it would be the time for Long Yangjun to reveal her real face.
"Then?"
Li Yao secretly wiped his sweat and asked without batting an eyelid.
