"Senior, you are right. To the Celestials, my Taiyue Nation is nothing worth mentioning." Tai Yuankun continued kowtowing without getting up. Behind him, the Taiyue Nation's Crown Prince and company bowed as well. "The ones that destroyed my Taiyue Nation were demonic servants and not the Celestials. In fact, I've never seen a Celestial in all my years of living."
"In fact, it's nothing new for demonic servants to destroy human kingdoms. I first heard that thirty years ago, there was a human kingdom stronger than my Taiyue Nation called the South Court Dynasty. It was destroyed in a single night. Nine out of ten cities were destroyed and reduced to ruins. The number of dead was uncountable. Back then, the South Court Dynasty's ruler was a half-step Godly Monarch, but he failed to cause a stir in the calamity before dying. Not even his corpse was left. "
Recalling the South Court Dynasty's past, the middle-aged man felt sad for the loss of his own kind.
"In the two to three decades after the South Court Dynasty, a few human factions of moderate size were wiped out. Later, the demonic servant calamity erupted in my Taiyue Nation. The old king died in battle, and I barely survived. I risked my life to escape the imperial capital with the Crown Prince and a few young princes and princesses. I did not wish to restore my kingdom, but to leave behind a bloodline for the Taiyue Nation …"
When the middle-aged man said that, his expression turned sorrowful. Although it was a blood feud, revenge was just too difficult.
Yi Yun frowned slightly when he heard that. "Did the Celestials start a war with the humans?"
"No …" The middle-aged man shook his head.
"Since there's no war, why are the demonic servants under the Celestials invading the humans without any qualms? Are the human experts indifferent?"
"My status is lowly, so I don't know the full details. I've only heard rumors … It's said that the Celestials are controlling the Godly Monarch level mighty figures of other races. It's not only humans, but many of them. It's as though they are plotting something."
"Controlling Godly Monarchs!?" Yi Yun was alarmed. Regardless of the race, Godly Monarchs were existences that stood at the pinnacle of the pyramid. How could they be controlled just like that?
It was normal for the Celestials to control a few Godly Monarch level figures, but controlling 'many' was odd.
How could the experts of the other races sit idly by?
If the Celestials were too overbearing, it was very likely to incite the other races in the Chaos Heavens to join forces to resist.
"Do you know what method the Celestials use to control the Godly Monarchs of other races?" asked Yi Yun.
The long-faced middle-aged man shook his head, "This old man doesn't know, but it is said that a peerless powerhouse has appeared in the God Race. He is too strong, so strong that no one dares to resist …"
"Oh?"
When Yi Yun heard this, he was shocked. A peerless expert had appeared?
Such a peerless expert that could be considered the strongest person in the Chaos Heavens was not something that could be born overnight. Either one of the Celestial patriarchs had made a breakthrough, allowing their cultivation level to improve further.
Either that or …
Yi Yun thought of the Ancestor God.
The Sinkhole Ancestor God was the strongest expert of the Celestials back then. He had been severely injured in the ancient war and had been recuperating for hundreds of millions of years.
But according to Bai Yueyin, the Ancestor God's injuries were about to be healed. Not only that, he would continue devouring the Sinkhole's Heavenly Dao.
With Yi Yun gone, no one in the Sinkhole could resist the Ancestor God. Now, more than a hundred years had passed.
Perhaps, the Ancestor God had already completed his fusion with the Sinkhole's Heavenly Dao.
If that was the case, the Ancestor God's strength would naturally reach an inconceivable level. Even if all the major races joined forces, it would be difficult for them to pose a threat to him.
"What is this peerless Celestial expert plotting?"
Yi Yun asked again. The middle-aged man shook his head. He was only a trivial figure, so he did not know the details.
Yi Yun fell silent. From the looks of it, the situation outside was not an ordinary one.
"In that case, the demonic servants have also attacked other races?"
The middle-aged man nodded. "Many Fey factions have been wiped out by the demonic servants, but the humans are still the ones with the most numbers. After the demonic servants wiped out the human kingdoms, they did not leave. They used the destroyed kingdoms as their nests and began preying on the humans in hiding. Now, the entire Chaos Heavens is in a state of panic … "
"I understand."
Yi Yun took a deep breath and turned to Lin Xintong and company. He said, "It's time for us to leave …"
"Leave seclusion? But Yun 'er, if the Sinkhole Ancestor God really comes to the Chaos Heavens, the present you is definitely not his match. Now that you have suppressed the Ancestor God's tracing mark, it's the best time to cultivate. If you focus on cultivating to the Godly Monarch realm, it might take a little longer, but it will be the safest. "
"When the time comes, you might be able to fight the Ancestor God head-on! Why take the risk of leaving seclusion now? "
Lin Xintong and Jiang Xiaorou felt that it was too dangerous to leave seclusion now.
Yi Yun said, "In just a hundred years, such a drastic change has happened in the outside world. The Ancestor God is not that easy to deal with. I have a nagging feeling that the Ancestor God is plotting something impressive. And it's something extremely important!"
"If not, there's no need for him to lose decorum with the various races of the Chaos Heavens and attack so many Godly Monarch level figures. He even connived with the demonic servants to wreak havoc on the world."
"If I don't do anything and allow the Ancestor God to complete his plan, the situation will probably worsen. Xintong, Sis Xiaorou, you might have confidence in me, believing that I can fight the Ancestor God as a Godly Monarch, but that might not be the case! Over hundreds of millions of years, only the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch has truly slain a perfected Ancestor God. If I were to allow the Ancestor God to prepare everything to the extreme, I would probably be doomed even if I were to fight him! "
Upon hearing Yi Yun's words, Lin Xintong and Jiang Xiaorou exchanged looks. Indeed, due to Yi Yun's repeated miracles, they had placed too much trust in him, as though he was omnipotent.
But the opponent this time was just too powerful. None of the previous encounters could be compared to this one.
"Let's leave seclusion and return to the ancient Heaven Fey first. Hide in the Ascending Dragon Cauldron and do not reveal a single aura."
Due to the Heavenly Dao's oath, Yi Yun could not violate the agreement with the ancient Heaven Fey. But at that moment, the ancient Heaven Fey had probably been infiltrated by the Celestials.
Returning to the ancient Heaven Fey was naturally very dangerous.
"Alright. Yun 'er, be careful."
As Lin Xintong and Jiang Xiaorou spoke, they had already flown into the Ascending Dragon Cauldron.
Yi Yun had used the Star Transference Heaven Changing Book and Ghost Ming's disguise arts to completely change his looks and aura. With his present strength, perhaps only the Ancestor God could see through his disguise. It was impossible for others to do so.
"Stay in this cave abode. Don't come out for the time being."
Yi Yun opened up a pocket world and locked the cave abode that he planned on abandoning. He had just slaughtered a large number of demonic servants, so he did not want the Taiyue Nation group to be found. That might expose his whereabouts.
The array formation would trap them for at least ten years. The crude ores on the walls could be considered compensation.
