"So that's how it is!" There was a look of confusion in the woman's eyes as she slowly put the ancient book back. Then, she closed her eyes slightly. Soon, golden inscriptions rose up like golden threads.
The place became dazzling with golden light almost instantly. The ancient book that had been put back was also slowly adjusting its angle. Eventually, it returned to its original position. At the same time, the golden threads completely erased the aura that the woman had left behind in this place.
Then, the woman walked out of the room and slowly walked back to her residence.
The pretty maid was waiting outside. When she saw the woman's figure, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she accompanied the woman and chattered about something before leaving.
In the huge garden, there were only the two of them. This was the bedroom of the Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace!
Apart from the two of them, no one else dared to step foot inside.
Aside from the woman and her maids, the guards outside wouldn't let any other living beings into this place. Because this woman was the daughter of the Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace! She was the princess of this place. The princess had loved flowers since she was a child and would often come here to admire the flowers. This was also permitted by the Palace Master.
However, the Palace Master did not allow the princess to enter his study as she pleased. This was not something that the guards could interfere with. They could not sense what was happening inside.
The maid, who was the only one who knew, would not betray her mistress. In fact, she did not understand why the Palace Master had never allowed her mistress to enter his study. Deep down, she felt that this was not a big deal.
After the woman returned to her bedroom, she sent the maid away and sat there quietly in a daze.
She had known since she was a child that she was not the Palace Master's biological daughter. However, the Palace Master had been very good to her.
Given the status of the Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace, who was one of the leaders of the three major forces, everything that his daughter could enjoy was naturally the best in the world.
However, there was one thing that the Palace Master had never allowed her to enter his study.
When she was very young, she had already discovered that she had a very special ability. She had never told anyone about this ability of hers. Not even the Palace Master!
That was, she could communicate with all the inscriptions in the Heavenly Palace!
This kind of ability was a little too terrifying!
Even in a place like the Eternal Land, such an ability made one fearful. Because this was simply too inconceivable.
The inscriptions engraved on the walls, on the stones, on the eaves, and even on the tiles and the road under their feet were actually alive? Even a Great Ancestor Realm cultivator would not think so.
They all knew that these inscriptions were extraordinary, extremely extraordinary, because once the inscriptions lit up, even if they attacked with all their might, they would not be able to disperse the power emitted by these inscriptions.
After the inscription lit up, the defense was almost invincible! No, not nearly invincible, but truly invincible!
No one could break it!
But to tell them that these inscriptions were alive, had their own thoughts, and had their own independent consciousness. They didn't believe it. They were just some ancient patterns that carried the laws of nature. How could they be alive? Wasn't that a lie?
However, Xu Shiyan was able to communicate with these inscriptions.
She didn't even know why she had such an ability. In any case, when she just had her memories and started to learn to walk, she felt that these inscriptions were very intimate, like family members, and they were calling out to her.
At the start, she was very afraid and felt very horrified. However, these inscriptions were trying their best to comfort her, telling her not to be afraid, that they would not hurt her.
Gradually, Xu Shiyan became friends with these inscriptions, and later, they became good friends.
She could clearly understand the temper and nature of each inscription, and she was also very clear about what each inscription liked.
For example, the inscriptions on the wall outside her bedroom liked to listen to stories. They liked all kinds of stories. Every time she held a book and sat quietly by the wall to read a story, those inscriptions would be very happy.
For example, the inscriptions on the wall outside liked to listen to songs. Xu Shiyan had once tried to tell them stories, but they expressed that they were not interested. On the contrary, when Xu Shiyan casually hummed a song, the inscriptions on the wall would be especially happy.
As the little girl gradually grew up, Xu Shiyan, who liked to read, finally had a guess after reading countless historical books.
"Do I … not belong to this world?"
"Why do I always feel that I don't belong to this world?"
Because of this, she once asked her father, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace. But the Palace Master directly lost his temper. That was the first and only time that the Palace Master lost his temper in front of Xu Shiyan.
He harshly reprimanded Xu Shiyan, saying that her imagination was running wild and that she was simply spouting nonsense!
"I and you, we are all people born in the Ancient God World. If you don't belong to this world, where do you belong?"
After that, Xu Shiyan calmed down, but the doubts deep in her heart did not lessen because of her father's anger and reprimand. On the contrary, there were more doubts.
She had always wanted to go to her father's study to verify and solve the doubts in her heart. But the Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace had never left for countless years. He stayed in the bedroom for many years.
This time, he finally went out. Perhaps, he thought that after so many years, Xu Shiyan should have long forgotten the little bit of curiosity when she was a child. Therefore, he did not seal the study.
But he did not expect that not only did Xu Shiyan enter his study, but she also flipped through his most important ancient book. In the Palace Master's opinion, that ancient book, in this world, except for the Eternal Temple Master, King Bu Xu Yue of the Bo Dynasty, and the Eternal Lord, no one could understand it.
He had been careless!
Xu Shiyan could easily read the inscriptions on the ancient book, and she could also communicate with them in the most basic way.
That kind of ability could only be possessed by the top living beings of the Four Great Heavens.
The ancient book that Xu Shiyan was reading was called — A History of the Four Great Heavens.
It looked very thin, with only a little content, but in fact, the inscriptions were all-encompassing. It was simply an encyclopedia of the Four Great Heavens!
Therefore, Xu Shiyan received a lot of information in an instant.
Then, she understood her own background.
She was a living being from the Four Great Heavens, but she did not know whose child she was. But she knew very well that she was not human. The blood, flesh, and bones in her body … were all condensed from the nomological laws!
She looked extremely alive, but if she used a knife to cut her finger, she would bleed and feel pain. That was because her body had been sealed by a special nomological power!
"Who am I? My father … Why did he bring me here? "
What are they trying to do here? "
Xu Shiyan was very confused and lost. She did not even know what she should do.
She had lived here for so long that she also thought of herself as a person with special abilities. She had never thought that there was really a fundamental difference between her and humans.
In the history of the Four Great Heavens, she saw a lot of introductions about humans.
"Sinister, cunning, dirty, filthy, low-class, vile, cruel …"
Almost all the negative descriptions could be found in the introduction of humans in this history of the Four Great Heavens.
According to these words in the history of the Four Great Heavens, humans should not exist in this world. They should be destroyed when they were born.
"Why is this happening? Why are the humans that I have come into contact with not like this? Among them, there are indeed bad people. There are indeed some people who have this or that shortcoming. But isn't this normal? Why is it that the description of humans in the history of the Four Great Heavens is so unbearable? Could it be that the so-called high-level living beings of the Four Great Heavens really have no flaws at all? "
Xu Shiyan fell into deep confusion. She was very confused.
Because in her opinion, her father, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace, was not a perfect living being.
Yes, according to this history of the Four Great Heavens, according to the inscriptions everywhere in the Heavenly Palace, she already knew that her father was definitely not human!
"Since the living beings of the Four Great Heavens are not truly perfect, then why do they hate humans so much? They call themselves Immortals … Are Immortals not human? Without flesh and blood … Are they definitely clean? "
Xu Shiyan sat there quietly. She suddenly looked at the inscriptions engraved on the wall, and her divine will slightly fluctuated. She asked, "Grandpa Gu, are humans really so bad?"
The inscriptions on the wall were the first inscriptions that Xu Shiyan had come into contact with. She called it "Grandpa Gu".
The inscriptions on the wall twisted strangely, as if they had suddenly come to life. From the flat image, they directly protruded. Then, from there, a small person completely made of inscriptions walked out.
The small person was only the size of a finger. He had white hair and a white beard. He had a kind face. From the looks of it, he did indeed look like an old grandfather.
"Child, why do you ask that?" The white-bearded old man who was the size of a finger smiled and said, "There are good and bad living beings in this world. Existence … is meaningful."
"Then … Then why did the history of the Four Great Heavens describe humans as unbearable?" Xu Shiyan asked.
"You … You actually went to see that thing?" The white-bearded old man seemed very surprised and a little afraid. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Child, you must not let your father know about this. Otherwise, he will kill you! "
Xu Shiyan suddenly felt a little cold. She did not understand. She only wanted to know a little more. Why did her father want to kill her?
