After Yi Shen found a suitable vessel, he stayed in Changhe Prefecture for more than two months.
Even though he did not leave Tianxia during this period of time, he was able to see the whole picture from a single spot. Just from this remote corner, he had a rough understanding of Tianxia.
In his opinion, the bodies of the citizens of Tianxia were much stronger than those of the lower lifeforms, but they were far inferior to the Iparr Celestials and their vassal celestials.
At first, he did not pay much attention to it, because from his perspective, the upper echelon of any powerful race was always the most powerful.
But later on, he found out that the upper echelon, including the two he saw, were actually from the ordinary people of Tianxia. At first, he was very surprised.
But then he felt a wave of fear and dread that he had never felt before.
He did not know the exact population of Tianxia, but even in a remote prefecture like Changhe Prefecture, he estimated that there were millions of people.
Why was the Ipar able to thrive?
There were many ancient EsGods at that time, and the Ipar was only one of them. But later on, they found the Sacred Tree, which greatly accelerated the reproduction of the Ipar.
It was because of this change that the Ipar's population greatly surpassed the other Protoss, which allowed them to quickly rise above the rest after the Mochi Protoss' decline and become the rulers of the world.
But even so, the number of the upper echelon was very small, and could only be counted in the hundreds. It was not as exaggerated as Tianxia. Because according to Tianxia's theory, every person of Tianxia had the potential to reach the Dao, and this was very scary. This made him feel a certain amount of respect.
But aside from this, the rich culture of Tianxia also attracted him. He learned the language of Tianxia, read many books, and even used this body to taste many delicacies that he had never seen before. He also enjoyed many immersive dramas.
It was worth mentioning that Tianxia needed Gold Ingots to try these things. However, he did not use his own power to directly seize or transform the Gold Ingots. Instead, he personally worked to earn rewards and then used them to exchange for what he needed.
In his opinion, this was also part of his understanding of Tianxia. However, it was also because of this that the cultivators who were monitoring him felt that this Divine King was very different from the other Divine Clans that they had seen before.
On this day, he was leisurely sipping tea in a teahouse while looking at the lake outside. From time to time, a flying boat would fly by.
Zhang Yu walked over and sat down on the other side of the tea table.
Yi Shen turned around and said, "Your world is very beautiful, especially the lower levels of the world. I have never imagined a lower level that is worth being nostalgic and interesting."
He had never paid much attention to the lower levels of Ipal because it had always been lifeless, and the lives there were as insignificant as ants. However, he was not stingy with his praise for a mortal world that was exquisite, full of vitality, and constantly developing.
"By the way," he turned his head again, smiled, and said, "I've learned a lot of things recently. In one more month, I'll be able to get a copy of Xu Zhi to drive the airship. Then I'll be able to drive the airship myself. This kind of creation is really wonderful."
Warship wasn't something that everyone could drive, especially people with unknown origins. However, private airships weren't included in this category. So, he personally went to learn how to drive a warship, and he easily passed it.
Zhang Yu asked, "Are you interested in creation?"
Yi Shen said, "Of course, I really did not expect that there is such a thing as creation. This is really a great creation."
He pointed outside, "Look at this lake. If this is Ipal, then the upper levels are the birds on the lake. We can go wherever we want to go. Perhaps we will occasionally look at our own reflection in the vast water surface, or perhaps we will hunt the fish in the water, but we will never pay attention to the sediment at the bottom of the lake. However, creation makes the sediment valuable."
Zhang Yu said calmly, "In Tianxia, the cultivators are not the birds, but the boats on the lake. We rely on the water to support and propel ourselves."
Yi Shen nodded and said, "A very interesting metaphor, but it also seems to be very appropriate. It seems that I still don't know enough about you."
Zhang Yu said lightly, "You will have the opportunity to slowly understand. Now that you have been here for more than two months, I think you have thought of everything you want to know. You should make a decision as soon as possible."
Yi Shen knew what he meant. The longer he delayed, the less valuable he would be. If the Mochi clan really returned to the world, then the things he provided would not be so important.
Now it was time for him to make a choice, whether to stand on the side of Tianxia or the Mochi clan.
In fact, there was no need to think too much about this. If he could get what he wanted from the Mochi clan, then he would be a member of the Mochi clan and would not have to come in contact with Tianxia.
He said, "I have learned about Tianxia, and I am willing to cooperate with you."
If he could destroy the Mochi clan, he might be able to achieve his wish. And the source of Tianxia's power was completely different from his, so he did not have to worry about Tianxia embezzling anything.
As for the future, there was no need for conflict. After staying in Tianxia for so many days, he knew that Tianxia was a place where etiquette was very important. As long as a formal agreement was made, it would not be broken.
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "We need to know more about the Mochi clan."
Yi Shen said, "Do you know about the Supreme?"
Zhang Yu said, "I have heard of it." Whether it was the current EsGod or the ancient gods like Ipal, they all seemed to have some connection with the Supreme. He guessed that these EsGods should be from the same system and had the same source. He said, "I have seen the records of Ipal. You have a title, 'Son of the Supreme'."
Yi Shen replied, "That's not entirely true. It's just that my descendants found a suitable background for me to be born into, to prove their divinity. However, the Supreme is indeed our origin, while the Mochi Celestial Race is not. The Mochi Celestial Race's upper echelons secretly call themselves the Supreme's enemies."
Zhang Yu said, "Just self-proclaimed?"
Yi Shen replied, "That's not it. It's just that their Ancestral Roots do have some sort of conflict with the Utmost Beings. However, the Mochi God race has never been a pure race. Some of them have nothing to do with the Utmost Beings, while some of them originated from the Utmost Beings. The Mochi God race is just a form of identity recognition.
Zhang Yu nodded slightly. This was basically the same as what he knew.
For example, although the person in front of him claimed to originate from the Supreme, he was once a guard of the Mochi clan. There was also the word 'loyalty' in front of his name. It was also because of this that he successfully received the inheritance of the Mochi clan, which led to the rise of Ipal.
He then asked another question, "What exactly is the Supreme?"
Yi Shen seemed to become more serious. He said, "The Supreme is the end of the divinity of the gods. It is the inevitable destination of every god. The Supreme rules all things. Hmm … it is somewhat similar to your Dao, but it truly exists."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment. He could understand what he meant. The Supreme was similar to Dao in the eyes of this person, but it was not the same as Dao. The Dao was not benevolent, and the Supreme was unknown. In this person's explanation, the Supreme was a kind of existence with ultimate divinity. He said, "The Mochi clan is the Supreme, and yet they are reconciled?"
Yi Shen said, "That is because the Mochi clan thought that they could steal the authority of the Supreme. They found many races, and from their divine blood, they created many 'Supreme Slates' and modified some races. And I am the first god to be modified. I am the product of stealing the authority of the Supreme. It is not wrong to say that I am the 'Son of the Supreme.'"
He did not mind exposing his own shortcomings. He said in a joking tone, "It is just an 'illegitimate child' that was accidentally born."
Zhang Yu's eyes sparkled. Regarding the Supreme Stone Slab, he had heard that it was a race that had signed a contract with the Utmost Being and obtained power from it. If that was the case, could those Supreme Stone Slabs that he had seen before have been created by the Moqi God race? Or was it just a part of it?
Then he thought of another question. His adoptive father had always been interested in the Supreme Slates. What was his relationship with the Mochi clan?
After this thought, he suppressed it. This was not the main problem. He said, "The Mochi clan obviously did not succeed. Otherwise, they would not have been unable to escape the Great Collapse."
Yi Shen said, "Yes, but they still achieved some results. It was just that they did not have the time to continue because the Great Collapse was coming. So they decided to hide in the depths of the Mesosphere and made many arrangements. They were waiting for the right time to come back and complete the last step."
At this point, he smiled. "And as their 'loyal' guard, since I knew all this, I naturally had to follow them."
Zhang Yu asked, "Did you catch up to them?"
Yi Shen's gaze became distant. "I did, but they rejected me. Because I am only their 'creation' and not one of them. I have been their tool, so I can only be a tool forever. A tool cannot be on the same level as its master, and it is not allowed to covet its master's things. "
He curled his lips. "But I do not blame them. As a loyal guard, I have been guarding the door that leads to them, waiting for an opportunity."
Zhang Yu looked at him. This guy was really loyal. He then asked, "How many people are there in the Mochi clan now? What are their abilities?"
Yi Shen did not answer immediately. He looked at him and said, "That involves many secrets. It is not convenient to talk about it here. Also, I need a guarantee."
Zhang Yu knew that this person was asking Tian Xia to make a contract with him, using a contract to bind each other. He nodded. "Yes, if you are willing, we can make a contract with you at any time."
Yi Shen smiled. "Then please be quick. This loyal guard cannot wait to return to his master's side."
