"That's one aspect." Shen Huang replied to Yun Lintian's question. "Don't look at how powerful the Shen Clan currently is. In fact, we are declining. Just like my daughter said, there won't be the next God Emperor here."
He looked at Wu Qingcheng and said further. "Since she's deeply involved with you, her future is limitless. A God Emperor is no longer impossible."
Wu Qingcheng was stunned and subconsciously said. "Me? My profound talent is mediocre at most. How could it be possible to become a God Emperor?"
Shen Huang laughed slightly and took a sip of tea, offering no explanation.
However, Yun Lintian seemed to understand something. Shen Huang must know about the ability of the Beyond Heaven King's Crown. Otherwise, he would be this confident.
With the help of the Beyond Heaven King's Crown, Wu Qingcheng's potential would be limitless, like Ning Yue and other people in the Misty Cloud Sect.
Thinking of this, Yun Lintian asked. "Since Senior seems to know the Beyond Heaven King well, can you tell me what exactly happened in the past? Honestly, I've been trying to find the answer after inheriting his power, but no clue so far."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHearing this, Shen Huang continued to sip the tea a few times before looking at Yun Lintian deeply. "You must have encountered many people involved in the past incident. However, all of them refused to tell you about it. Am I correct?"
Seeing Yun Lintian nod, Shen Huang said further. "The reason is simple. Once you know it, you will never be able to live the way you are living right now. You will constantly be under huge pressure."
Yun Lintian frowned deeply and said. "I'm thinking oppositely. To me, knowing everything ahead of time is the way to relieve the pressure."
"Senior is not talking about a danger or a pressure you have to shoulder." Wu Liwei suddenly chimed in.
Everyone turned to look at him in surprise.
Wu Liwei turned to look at Wu Qingcheng with tenderness in his eyes as he spoke further. "You know, for us parents, we always want to see our children grow up worry-free. I believe those people around you are the same. They didn't want to tell you everything just to let you enjoy your time growing up."
Shen Huang nodded in agreement. "Indeed."
He turned to look at Yun Lintian and asked. "Do you still want to know?"
Yun Lintian immediately went silent. Although Yun Lintian's life after coming to this world wasn't entirely carefree, he had enough leisure time. While under constant threat, he could still have free time to enjoy the world's beauty along the way… If this was the reason Hongyue and the others didn't want to tell him, he could understand them and appreciate their goodwill.
However, Yun Lintian didn't want to let them down. Even though he had to live a desperate life, he must know it now.
A moment later, Yun Lintian raised his head to look at Shen Huang and said firmly. "Please tell me."
Shen Huang stared straight into Yun Lintian's eyes for a while and said. "Very well. Let me be the person who broke your peaceful life."
"Do we need to avoid first?" Wu Liwei asked.
Shen Huang shook his head and said. "Both of you have already been involved in this. You will know it sooner or later anyway."
He then looked at the night sky outside and started recounting. "In your perception, the Divine Realm must be vast and boundless, but in fact, it is just a huge world that contains countless stars inside. It is not boundless as you think. It has a boundary, and there are other similar worlds around it. For example, our neighbor, the Great Devil Realm."
"Once in a while, these neighbors would come here through a crack somewhere in the Divine Realm's boundary. Every time they came, there would be a large-scale war. However, it was nothing more than an annoying event, as they couldn't pose a real threat to us most of the time."
"As an undisputed leader of the Divine Realm, the Beyond Heaven King spent great efforts to take care of everyone. He gathered all the god emperors and created an alliance among us. Whenever there was an enemy, we would stop fighting each other and deal with the enemy first. This was a tacit agreement we agreed upon."
Listening to this point, a picture of a kind and mighty man appeared in the minds of Yun Lintian, Wu Qingcheng, and Wu Liwei. With his status and power, the Beyond Heaven King didn't need to care about the life and death of the Divine Realm at all. Even if the Divine Realm was gone, he could take his people to live somewhere.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYun Lintian knew about this point more than anyone here. The Beyond Heaven King could simply take everyone to live inside the Land of Beyond Heaven to avoid a catastrophe at any moment.
"He's indeed a great man. Throughout my life, I had never admired anyone until I met him." Shen Huang said with a trace of admiration in the depths of his eyes. "Unfortunately, his ending wasn't good."
Shen Huang sighed and continued. "Forty thousand years ago, a huge crack appeared in the Divine Realm's boundary on the Western Divine Region's side. The enemy at that time was insanely powerful. Even all of our god emperors combined couldn't be their opponents."
Yun Lintian and the other two were shocked upon hearing this. What kind of existence was that?
"They called themselves a Primordial God Tribe. They claimed that the Divine Realm was originally their home, and we existed to serve them." Shen Huang said with a heavy expression.
"A Primordial God Tribe?" Yun Lintian repeated with a deep frown. "Are they related to the Primordial God in the legend?"
Shen Huang shook his head. "No one knows, but their strength was a whole level above us. In the entire Divine Realm, the Beyond Heaven King, Senior Azure Dragon, Senior Vermilion Bird, Senior White Tiger, Senior Divine Phoenix, Senior Golden Crow, and Senior Black Tortoise were the only ones who could contend with them."
"They were the original strongest God Emperors at that time. Without their sacrifice, we would have been enslaved by those enemies long ago."
