Elder Jiu glanced at Ouyang Ye and sneered, "What? Do you think that I know the whereabouts of Xiao Potian's family and want to report it to that bastard Xiao Duantian?"
Ouyang Ye sighed and slowly sat down. He said, "Elder Jiu, to be honest, I actually admire Xiao Potian a lot. I also think that it would be better if Xiao Potian could continue to be the Divine King than Xiao Duantian. Therefore, I've never thought about harming Xiao Potian. Even if he's no longer around, even if Xiao Duantian is the Divine King of the God Realm, I still wouldn't do that. "
Elder Jiu snorted, "That's more like it. We all know what happened back then. Even though Xiao Potian married a demon princess, it wasn't enough to make Xiao Potian pay such a huge price. It's just that his younger brother purposely used it to fulfill his own ambitions. Hmph, if it wasn't for this, even though I know that Xiao Duantian is a little narrow-minded, I wouldn't hate him. After all, he used to be my student. However, the way he handled this matter has really disappointed me! "
Elder Jiu looked at Ouyang Ye and said, "Then let me ask you, if you were able to stop what happened back then, would you help Xiao Potian or his younger brother?"
Ouyang Ye went silent for a moment, then said, "Elder Jiu, you should know that Skyspan Academy has always been neutral."
"Hmph!" Elder Jiu sneered, "Neutral? Are you saying that when the barrier disappears and the God Race and the humans go to war, will you still be neutral? "
"That's different." Ouyang Ye said solemnly, "The God Race, the humans, the Demon Race, and the Demonic Beast Race are all fighting against each other. Once the war breaks out, every member of the God Race must stand firmly on the side of their race."
Elder Jiu asked, "So? When the time comes, the God Race and the humans will have a life and death struggle. Even the entire God Race might perish? "
Ouyang Ye looked at Elder Jiu in surprise. His eyes flickered as he asked, "Elder Jiu, are you really here to drink with me today? Do you have something to tell me? Do you know something?"
Old Wine snorted. He picked up his chopsticks and ate two mouthfuls of food. Then, he raised his wine jar and said: "Come on, let's have a good drink together!"
Ouyang Ye put away the doubts in his heart. He also raised his wine jar and said, "This junior will drink with you!"
The two of them clinked their wine jars and gulped down a few mouthfuls. Old Wine put down his wine jar and laughed, "This is great! But I don't know how long we can enjoy drinking like this."
Ouyang Ye smiled faintly and said, "It's been a long time since I drank with you. Now that I think about it, it's been too long. Ever since the matter with Xiao Potian happened, you've been unwilling to pay attention to us and not come into contact with us. Sigh, actually, you're the most respected senior in this academy. There are many aspects that I should learn from you. "
Old Wine said, "You are much better than an old drunkard like me. In this academy, no one is more suitable than you to be the dean. Whether it's your ability to see the big picture or your strength, you are the most suitable candidate."
Ouyang Ye didn't expect Old Wine to praise him like this. He felt very flattered for a moment. After all, Old Wine had been distancing himself from them all these years. He didn't expect Old Wine to think so highly of him.
Old Wine said, "From the dean's point of view, you are already perfect. However, what I can't stand the most about you is that no matter what happens, you always stay out of it. As the dean of Skyspan Academy, your influence in the Divine Realm is second only to the Divine King. There are many things that you can control. In some aspects, your prestige is no less than the Divine King's. This is because most of the geniuses in the Divine Realm are students of Skyspan Academy.
"Mhm." Ouyang Ye said, "Old Wine, Skyspan Academy remains neutral. This is a rule that was set thousands of years ago. This is so that Skyspan Academy can become a more pure place. It won't be like the other large clans and powers. They won't allow the dean to use Skyspan Academy to fight for power."
"I know. I'm a drunkard, but I'm not muddle-headed. That's why it's fine for you to remain neutral in most matters. I won't talk about what happened back then, but don't tell me you haven't considered the matter of the barrier breaking?"
Ouyang Ye shook his head and said, "The most important thing is that even if the barrier is gone, I still don't know the situation in the outside world. No one knows. Furthermore, the God World has a God King, and we have a God King to lead us, so …"
"A Divine King to lead us? Haha …" Old Wine raised his wine jug again. Ouyang Ye laughed bitterly and clinked his jug with Old Wine. The two of them gulped down a few more mouthfuls.
Ouyang Ye wiped his mouth and said, "That was so satisfying. If Old Wine hadn't come looking for me today, I wouldn't have been able to drink to my heart's content in a long time."
"I know. You go into closed-door cultivation when you have nothing to do. That's why you rarely touch alcohol. How much less fun would your life be?" Old Wine laughed. "You probably don't pay much attention to your daily life."
Ouyang Ye laughed. "I'm not as good as you in this aspect."
"Of course," Old Wine said proudly. "Don't look at me just because I'm a librarian. Every day, I read books, drink wine, and walk around when I have nothing to do. That's what it means to enjoy life. We have to enjoy life. It's been thousands of years. Back then, our Divine Race only wanted to kill and rule the world. Are we going to have to live that kind of life in the future? "
Ouyang Ye looked at Old Wine and said, "Old Wine, you seem to be very concerned about the barrier."
"Haha, is there anyone in the Divine Realm who doesn't care about such a big matter?"
Ouyang Ye nodded and said, "That's natural. This matter concerns the fate of our entire Divine Race. It's very likely that the Mythological Era will return."
"Dean Ouyang, the reason why I invited you out for a drink is because I wanted to ask you something. Do you really think that the Divine Race and the Humans should go to war?"
Ouyang Ye sighed and said, "Old Wine, I can understand what you're thinking. Indeed, if we go to war now, it's very likely that the world will be plunged into an abyss of misery. Even though we've been recuperating for thousands of years, the Humans have also developed for thousands of years. They have better resources than us, and their fertility is far greater than ours. I've actually done some research. We have tens of thousands of clansmen, but according to the fertility of the Humans, their population should be thousands, tens of thousands, or even more than ours."
"With such a great disparity in numbers, even if our Divine Race's bloodline is powerful, it's still very difficult for us to win." Ouyang Ye smiled bitterly and said, "But like I said, the Divine Race has been sealed here for so many years. Once the barrier is opened, it's impossible for them to not be hostile to the Humans. If it's just this kind of hostility, it's fine. According to my understanding of Xiao Duantian, he won't be satisfied with just being the Divine King of the Divine Race. He'll definitely lead the Divine Race back to the path from thousands of years ago. "
Old Wine asked, "So, have you thought about stopping it?"
Ouyang Ye shook his head and said, "It's very difficult for me to do that. Xiao Duantian won't listen to me. Moreover, the Humans will strike first to gain the upper hand. Even if we don't do anything, will the Humans stop? This time, it might be even more tragic than the Mythological Era. "
Old Wine said, "What if there's someone who can do that and stop the people from being plunged into an abyss of misery?"
Ouyang Ye was stunned for a moment. Then, he looked at Old Wine and asked, "Who?"
Old Wine raised his wine jar and drank two mouthfuls. Then, he grinned and said, "Xiao Potian's descendant!"
"Xiao Potian's descendant?" Ouyang Ye suddenly stood up.
Old Wine glanced at Ouyang Ye and said, "What? Are you going to expose him?"
"No." Ouyang Ye took a deep breath and said, "I just … I just didn't expect that Xiao Potian's descendant is still alive and has even seen you."
"Yes." Old Wine said, "He's Xiao Potian's second son. His name is Xiao Bing."
Ouyang Ye swallowed his saliva and asked, "Did he come back from the Mortal Realm? What does he want to do? Does he want to take revenge? But … I'm afraid he can't do that. "
Old Wine said, "He just wants to take revenge. Don't underestimate him. This young man's talent is far greater than Xiao Potian's. There hasn't been anyone as talented as him in the Divine Realm for thousands of years. No one in history can compare to him."
Ouyang Ye couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard Old Wine's exaggeration, "So powerful? He's even more talented than Xiao Potian? That's unbelievable … As far as I know, Song Liandi and the Goddess Dugu Qing are the closest to Xiao Potian in terms of talent. Song Liandi is in his forties and has already reached the Heart of the Divine God. I think he's very close to the Divine Aperture. As for Dugu Qing, she is in her thirties. I've seen her some time ago. She's probably at the False God Realm. I'm not sure if she's still at the True God Realm … "
Old Wine said, "That's not a big deal. You and I both know that the Xiao Family's bloodline is extremely powerful. Therefore, reaching the Demigod Realm is a hurdle for them. Breaking through before the Demigod Realm is as easy as drinking water for them. But from the Demigod Realm to the False God Realm and then the Divine God Realm … It's extremely difficult. However, the bloodline of the Immortal King allows them to fight against people of higher realms. Therefore, every time they make a breakthrough, they will improve more than the rest of us."
"Yes, I know."
"As for Xiao Bing … he is in his early thirties, but he has already reached the Heart of the Divine God. Do you think his talent is terrifying?"
Ouyang Ye murmured to himself, "He's the most talented person in the Xiao Family … He has reached the Heart of the Divine God in his early thirties … Xiao Bing … Xiao Bing …"
Ouyang Ye exclaimed, "Are you talking about Xiao Jun?"
