Dao Palace:
Candles were lit, and the atmosphere was serene. An inexplicable aura of Dao could be felt. Flying Feather and Ye Xuan were seated across from each other, a pot of tea placed between them.
Whoosh!
God Lord Flying Feather personally poured tea for Ye Xuan, and the fragrance of tea wafted out. He filled the teacup to the brim and handed it to Ye Xuan. "This tea is not a divine item. It is merely made from the most ordinary mountain tea. Fellow Daoist, please have a taste."
Ye Xuan took the teacup and took a sip. His eyes brightened, and then he put down the teacup and nodded. "Although it is an ordinary tea, its fragrance lingers on my lips and teeth. It retains the original fragrance of the mountain tea. Even someone like me who doesn't know how to taste tea can still tell that it is a high-quality tea."
"After this tea, we will be enemies, not friends. But I hope that Fellow Daoist can promise me one thing," God Lord Flying Feather calmly said to Ye Xuan.
"What is it?"
For some reason, Ye Xuan's heart trembled when he saw God Lord Flying Feather's calm eyes. This was not because of the difference in cultivation, but because this person's eyes were so calm that it made him feel uneasy.
"If I die at Fellow Daoist's hands, I hope that Fellow Daoist can let the Flying Feather Divine Dynasty go. Fellow Daoist can also replace me as the new master of the Divine Dynasty.
"Of course, if Fellow Daoist dies at my hands, Fellow Daoist can only blame himself." God Lord Flying Feather seemed to be speaking of a very ordinary matter, and there was not even a hint of emotion in his voice.
Ye Xuan's eyes turned deep as he looked at Flying Feather's calm expression. He sensed something unusual, as if he had overlooked something important.
"Do you know why I've come?" Ye Xuan took a sip of tea as he calmly looked at Flying Feather.
"We Heaven-Defying Cultivators all have the same goal. I naturally know why Fellow Daoist has come," Flying Feather said with a faint smile.
"The same goal?"
Ye Xuan was slightly stunned. He was truly confused because he did not understand the meaning of those words. Moreover, he was surprised to discover that the other party had not shown any hostility toward him since he had arrived at the Feiyu Divine Dynasty.
Upon seeing the confusion on Ye Xuan's face, God Lord Flying Feather's expression flickered. "It seems like Fellow Daoist is not someone from the Ancient World, right?"
Boom!
Ye Xuan's entire body shook, and his expression instantly turned gloomy. A wisp of killing intent flashed through his eyes. It was obvious that the other party's words had touched upon his greatest secret.
One had to know that he had reversed time and space to return to the Primeval World. This was a secret that only he knew. Could it be that the other party had noticed something?
"As I thought, Fellow Daoist, you are indeed not a creature of the Primeval Age. You must have been lucky enough to survive the Primordial Age, right?"
"But there's something I find very strange. Fellow Daoist's cultivation is about the same as mine, so how did fellow Daoist manage to survive that apocalyptic calamity?" God Lord Flying Feather asked in confusion.
Upon hearing God Lord Flying Feather's words, Ye Xuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he had been overthinking things. As it turned out, the other party had guessed that he was a person from the Primordial Age.
"My memories are already missing. I only remember that I woke up in the Primordial Graveyard. I don't remember anything from the past."
Ye Xuan randomly found an excuse. He could never say that he had reversed time and space to return to the Primeval World. If this news got out, he would be in great trouble.
"So that's how it is."
God Lord Flying Feather nodded in understanding. He did not suspect that Ye Xuan was lying, because at their level, lies were basically useless. Everything depended on cultivation.
"It seems like Fellow Daoist does not understand the common goal of us Heaven-Defiers, nor does he understand the responsibility we Heaven-Defiers shoulder," God Lord Flying Feather sternly said.
"Fellow Daoist, please enlighten me."
At this moment, Ye Xuan finally realized that he had miscalculated something. This was also why he could not sense any hostility from God Lord Flying Feather.
"Haaah …"
Flying Feather let out a long sigh as he slowly explained to Ye Xuan the mission and responsibility of Heaven-Defiers.
The Primordial Age was destroyed, and the Primeval Age was born.
One Primeval Age expert after another emerged, and peerless geniuses emerged. The Primeval Age experts began to sense the secrets and legends that had been lost in the Primordial Age.
The Eternal Universe was the Samsara Age.
No matter how powerful a living being was, they would eventually perish in the Samsara Age, and the Primordial Age was the best proof of this.
From that day onward, all the Heaven-Defiers of the Primeval Age had a common goal, and this goal was to break the curse of the Samsara Age and truly allow the Primeval Age to continue.
For the sake of this goal, all the Heaven-Defiers of the Primeval Age worked hard. They madly cultivated and madly increased their cultivation, all so that before the Samsara Age arrived, a heaven-shaking existence that could contend against the Eternal Universe would appear.
However, the cultivation of a Heaven-Defier required an enormous amount of cultivation resources. In order to become a Heaven-Defier expert, the price one had to pay was simply unimaginable.
Not only did it require the accumulation of cultivation resources, but it also required one to have a heaven-shaking appearance and to grow through the tempering of life and death.
Therefore, every Divine Dynasty of the present age was oppressing the great sects below them, and the great sects oppressing the sects below them. In this way, they exploited layer by layer just to cultivate a Heaven-Defier expert to deal with the Samsara Age in the future.
However, this was far from enough. In order to allow the Primeval Age to exist forever and break the curse of the Samsara Age, the Heaven-Defier expert needed to be even stronger, until he reached the Nine Changes Realm. Perhaps there was still hope for success.
Therefore, there was an unwritten rule in the Heaven-Defier Realm, which was that there were very few fights in the Heaven-Defier Realm. However, once there was a fight, it would be a fight to the death.
This was because in order to reach the Nine Changes Realm, one had to step on the bones of Heaven-Defier experts to advance. Blindly cultivating in seclusion would never reach the Nine Changes Realm.
To put it bluntly, the Heaven-Defier experts of the Primeval Age treated themselves like Gu worms. They would fight and devour each other, and in the end, the strongest Gu King would be born.
There was no deep hatred, nor was there a fight to the death. Everything was for the sake of that ultimate goal. This was the responsibility of the Primeval Age.
To die a hundred deaths without regret, to conquer the world!
All for the sake of creating the strongest Nine Changes Realm expert who could lead the Primeval Age to break the curse of the Samsara Age. This was the responsibility of the Primeval Age, and it was also the responsibility of every Heaven-Defier!
God Lord Feather paused for a moment, and then he gave a long sigh. He looked at Ye Xuan and said, "Do you know why we are called Heaven-Defiers?"
"Because we bear the hopes of the ancient creatures on our shoulders. Only by going against the heavens and conquering the heavens and earth can we hope to break the curse of reincarnation and destroy the world. We also have to push open the legendary door of reincarnation and see the ultimate secrets of the eternal universe."
At this point, Ye Xuan's body went stiff. He finally understood why God Lord Feather had not shown any hostility toward him. On the contrary, he had welcomed him to this place and even discussed the Dao with him over tea.
Everything was for the sake of the Primeval Age, everything was for the sake of all the living beings of the Primeval Age. This was the path that Heaven-Defiers walked.
