Chapter 1776 The Terrifying Answer
Chapter 1776 The Terrifying Answer
Chen Wanli looked thoughtful, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the armrest of the chair.
Inside the main hall, only the sound of banging could be heard for a moment.
The Moon God Platform may be a corner of the spirit world, just like a part of the divine realm was cut out and expanded into the demon cave space.
Whether this corner from the spirit world was severed or divided for some other reason remains unknown.
In short, for some reason, a corner of the spirit world fell into the void. The powerful beings who created the demon cave expanded the space and unintentionally pulled it in.
Perhaps there are other survivors in the Moon God Platform? Like Ye Zhenjun?
Or perhaps not?
If it is only a corner of the spirit world, and the spirit world still exists, and the Heavenly Demon King reopens the Heavenly Source and restarts the Heavenly Gate, then the path to ascension remains the same, so why is there any talk of frustration and slumber?
Does the spirit world no longer exist?
What about those powerful beings who once ascended to the Spirit Realm?
Chen Wanli recalled his previous conversation with the gods, in which they mentioned that their ancestors who ascended to the Spirit Realm had sent back various messages in their early years.
Later, news of them gradually disappeared.
Could something have really happened in the spirit world?
Did the Demon King of Heaven and Earth fail to cross the universe, or did he discover a change in circumstances?
These fragmented thoughts were not only on Chen Wanli's mind, but also being sorted out by several members of the Divine Race.
Especially for Xuan San and Xuan Lie, because the ancestors of the Huaxu clan were no longer alive and Feng Zu had disappeared suddenly, they knew very little about these secrets.
"Could it be that the Spirit Realm is shattered? The Moon Extreme Divine Platform is just a fragment of the Spirit Realm?" Xuan Lie licked his lips, uttering a startling statement.
Before Chen Wanli could react, the Dragon King scoffed and retorted, "Impossible. The Spirit Realm is what it is because of its stable space."
Even a being at the Refining Void and Harmonizing Dao Mahayana level, when using their full power, cannot tear apart this space.
So, how terrifying would a power capable of shattering the spirit world be?
With such power, I fear that anyone below the Golden Immortal level would be annihilated!
Xuan Lie immediately said, "The sages who ascended to the Spirit Realm have all disappeared without a trace. Perhaps this is the reason?"
The Dragon King scoffed, "Losing contact doesn't mean they're all dead!"
"???"
These words shocked the four gods present so much that they couldn't sit still.
Kuafu Chong suddenly stood up: "What do you mean by that, Dragon King?"
Chen Wanli's gaze also shifted over, and he finally mentioned some information that Chen Wanli was completely unaware of.
"Before each of my dragon ancestors ascended to heaven, they left behind a Soul Shadow Stone. The stone contains the soul blood of the ancestor. If the ancestor lived, the soul light would remain; if the ancestor perished, the stone light would be extinguished."
As the Dragon King spoke, he took out a stone that shimmered with a milky white light.
A miniature dragon soul blood shadow can be faintly seen within it.
Chen Wanli glanced at it and knew that the stone had the ability to sense bloodlines. It must have been a "locator" specially made by the Dragon Clan's ancestors so that their descendants could reunite with their clansmen after ascending to immortality.
At this moment, the Soul Shadow Stone glowed softly, and the Blood Shadow within it maintained a stable luster.
The Dragon King's words were true.
This sage of the dragon race is most likely still alive.
"Since the sages are still alive, why don't they contact us...? Perhaps our ancestors from the Kuafu clan are still alive?"
Kuafu Chong exclaimed in surprise.
"Could it be related to the destruction of the Heavenly Gate?" Xuan Lie muttered.
"If the Heavenly Gate can be repaired, the dialogue with the Spirit Realm can be restarted. The Demon King of Heaven and Earth should, as always, fight to the death to reopen the Heavenly Gate!"
Ancestor Lei Ze shook his head, his face also showing confusion.
Chen Wanli looked at Ye Zhenjun.
Ye Zhenjun looked completely bewildered, clearly not intending to speak.
"If the spirit world is very, very large, so large that it is not a single planet, but countless planets... these planets may or may not be able to communicate with each other."
Tianmen only connects to one of them, and that one just happened to be the one that was accidentally destroyed and broken?
And those ascensionable sages, some with immense power, or perhaps for some other reason, have long since gone to other planets and are still alive. Others, however, are already dead.
As Chen Wanli pondered, he slowly shared his speculations.
"This conjecture makes sense. But, apart from those who have been to the Spirit Realm, who can truly know the truth?" The Dragon King raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at Ye Zhenjun.
Ye Zhenjun remained expressionless, but the depths of his eyes were no longer calm.
Although Chen Wanli's guesses were not entirely correct, and were even far from the truth.
But some of the information was actually correct.
An accident? Or was it simply deduced through speculation and analysis?
Or did Chen Wanli receive the inheritance of a powerful being from the spirit world?
After all, judging from Chen Wanli's skills, they were definitely not something that a human race that had lost its inheritance could master.
"So, Lord Ye, you have nothing to say?" Chen Wanli asked, his tone tinged with displeasure.
They had agreed to be open and honest, but instead, they were hiding their true intentions and harboring their own ulterior motives. Chen Wanli's dissatisfaction with Ye Zhenjun was rapidly accumulating.
"Ahem! The inheritance I received doesn't mention much about the Spirit Realm, so I can't corroborate it."
When Ye Zhenjun finished speaking, he saw the almost overflowing dissatisfaction in Chen Wanli's eyes, so he coughed lightly and continued:
"I quite agree with Brother Chen's conjecture. Besides that, there is actually one point that everyone here has overlooked."
Whether there are living beings behind the Lunar Altar is not important.
Chen Wanli then suddenly realized that he had indeed overlooked something, and nodded:
"It was my oversight. For beings who truly reach the realm of immortals, traversing the universe, tearing apart spatial barriers, and descending to the mortal realm might be difficult, but it's not impossible. It all depends on whether they are willing to pay such a high price."
The Dragon King raised an eyebrow and said, "You mean, if a powerful being wishes, they can descend at any time, or send experts from the spirit realm to appear in the demon cave? Then why, for thousands of years, have there been... none..."
When it said "from nothing," it suddenly fell silent.
What does "from nothing" mean? Doesn't Ye Zhenjun's origin sound mysterious?
Is he from the Lunar Altar or the Spirit Realm?
Looking at the Dragon King's sharp, almost murderous gaze, Ye Zhenjun was both amused and exasperated.
"What do you think we'd pay such a high price to let someone as powerful as me go? Just so you can capture me, search my soul, and skin me alive?"
The Dragon King touched his nose and said nothing.
Chen Wanli could tell that although Ye Zhenjun talked about searching souls and skinning people, he was not actually afraid at all.
Clearly, this person has ways to protect themselves.
However, Ye Zhenjun's words were not an excuse.
No matter how many methods he has, he is only a half-saint, and is subject to many limitations.
If the Heavenly Demon King and the Dragon King Demon Emperor, who are at the same level, joined forces, Ye Zhenjun might not be able to handle them.
They didn't make a move because Ye Zhenjun might indeed have come from the Spirit Realm, but he wasn't sent here by powerful beings.
Considering the origins of the Moon God Platform, it's not hard to guess Ye Zhenjun's identity.
A corner of the spirit realm shattered and fell into nothingness, destroying countless creatures along with it, and Ye Zhenjun was one of the survivors.
The origin of the soul-devouring in that void space...
Ye Zhenjun's true strength...
Everything is about to be revealed.
The answer was chilling.
In that instant, Chen Wanli felt that many questions had been answered, but these answers also gave rise to countless other questions.
The most important questions are probably: what does Ye Zhenjun want to do? And why was a corner of the Spirit Realm shattered in the first place?
In other words, what is Ye Zhenjun plotting to have everyone move into the Moon Extreme God Platform?
The reason why this corner is broken determines whether there is a pair of eyes secretly observing this space.
Chen Wanli felt a bit overwhelmed.
Just then, a sudden gust of wind arose outside, and the surging demonic energy in the void surged violently, as if summoned by some invisible force, sweeping towards the direction of the Heavenly Demon Valley.
The unusual energy surge alarmed the Dragon King and Ye Zhenjun.
The two leaped out one after the other.
"The innate demonic energy has triggered a violent surge of demonic power! The Demon King of Heaven and Earth is about to awaken!"
"Faster than expected!"
"Perhaps they awakened on their own?"
"Why?"
"Just like me, I don't want to miss out on the good show!"
The Dragon King and Ye Zhenjun exchanged words.
Chen Wanli squinted, feeling that something was amiss.
