862 Chapter 862: Questioning Queen (1)
Ye Xiao looked around but didn’t find anything else on the Seventh Floor. It seemed the seventh floor really has nothing else to offer him.
Although it is more like the first floor, there is a vast difference between the First Floor and the Seventh Floor. The time inside the First Floor is currently 1:100 compared to the outside world.
On the other hand, Seventh Floor seemed to be just an ordinary floor.
Maybe, Queen understood what Ye Xiao is thinking, she stepped forward and arrived beside Ye Xiao. Then she looked at Ye Xiao in his eyes before shifting her gaze and looking at the ceiling of the floor. She let out a deep breath and sighed.
“You don’t need to look around, the seventh floor really has nothing else to offer. Well, you can at least enter the Seventh Floor. After you’ll cultivate the Eighth Layer and Ninth Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique, you’ll find out that you can’t even enter the Eighth and Ninth Floor of the Nine Story PaG.o.da.”
Ye Xiao frowned when he heard this. As far as he could remember, when he entered the s.p.a.ce inside the Heavenly Pearl for the first time, a stream of memories appeared in his mind, telling him that he is the inheritor of the Heavenly Pearl, destined to go against the Heavens. It also told him that ‘no one has the right to look down on him, not even the Heavens’. It was this phrase that ignited a fire inside his heart that made him want to become strong enough to look down on everyone in the Heavens.
Ultimately, he got the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique after touching the Nine Story PaG.o.da for the first time. And it was also at that time that he received another wave of information that told him the higher the level of his cultivation of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique will be, the higher floor he could go to. It means if he has cultivated to the Fourth Layer, he could enter the Fourth Floor of Nine Story PaG.o.da.
Similarly, if he could cultivate the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique to the Ninth Layer, he could also enter the Ninth Floor of Nine Story PaG.o.da.
But now, Queen is telling him that he could not enter the Eighth and Ninth Floor of the Nine Story PaG.o.da. How could this not make him want to know the reason?
But before Ye Xiao could ask, Queen had already guessed his question. She replied: “Actually, the Eighth Floor is a place where you could observe every corner of the Second Universe. This is a very important place where no one is allowed to go, not even me or the nine ancestral dragons. The ninth floor is where the Source of the Universe is located. So obviously, the Will of the Universe will never allow a single soul to step at that place!”
It was only now Ye Xiao understood why. But what he can’t understand is the fact why the Second Universe had to lie to him. Was that necessary? pᴀɴᴅᴀ ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ
But when he thought about the bigger lies, and truth that was hidden from him by the Second Universe and the Ancestral Dragons, he couldn’t help but sigh. There is no need to thought about this anymore.
Shaking his head, he looked into Queen’s eyes and spoke: “I have some questions you need to answer. Right now!”
Queen saw the seriousness in Ye Xiao’s eyes and nodded her head. She said: “Ask!”
Ye Xiao then asked his first question: “In the Great Star Continent, you told me about the truth hidden from me, as well as the reason why the Second Universe became a pearl. You also told me that before the Second Universe shrunk, contracted, and become the Heavenly Pearl, it pulled all Nine Ancestral Dragons inside. As for you, because you are a unique existence, you can enter and exit the Heavenly Pearl and the Heavens at your will.”
“However, when I found you for the first time, you were a palm-sized creature and a very weak one at that. Why is that? What is the reason that caused you to become a little creature?” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕ(ꪫ)ꪣꫀ ꪶ
Queen smiled when she heard this question, but her smile seemed to be filled with countless emotions. She kept quiet for some time and looked to be lost in deep thought. After some time, she lightly said: “Many things happened after the Second Universe transformed into the Heavenly Pearl because its source was damaged. Well, the main reason why Nine Story PaG.o.da exist is to protect the Source of the Universe and hide it from the sight of any spying gazes.”
“After the Second Universe transformed into the Heavenly Pearl, the war against the Ancient Devils still continued. There were many left and I helped the Heavens seal those Ancient Devils in many different places. During those time, I also found out an absolute truth.”
Ye Xiao: “Absolute truth?”
p-ᴀ-ɴ-ᴅ-ᴀ ɴ-0-ᴠ-ᴇ-ʟ、ᴄ(ᴏᴍ) “Yes, an absolute truth that no one believed. I found out the reason why no one could kill those Ancient Devils. It is because they were never alive to begin with. They seemed to have come into existence because of some kind of eerie and evil energy, and at the same time, they seemed to be like clones of a very powerful existence, maybe, more powerful than an Ancient G.o.d.”
“But no one believed me, not even the Heavens.”
“It was also in those days that the Primordial Race was completely destroyed and the Primordial Era ended. It was also the time when a new era has risen and was ruled by the Ancient Race. Thus the era was called Ancient Era.”
“I lived the entire Ancient Era and saw the destruction of countless races and clans by the hands of Ancient Race. But then, the Ancient Race was slaughtered by its own member and the Ancient Era ended. It was too tragic and b.l.o.o.d.y. The Ancient Era is also the era that I call the Dark Era. It is because this era was the only one that was not destroyed by a catastrophe such as the emergence of Ancient Devils, instead, it ended because of a single person, Ancient Samsara G.o.d.”
“Anyway, coming back to your question, I actually went into a deep slumber by sealing my entire powers and abilities after the end of the Ancient Era. I bound myself with the Heavenly Pearl as well. This way, once the inheritor of the Heavenly Pearl is chosen, I could wake up instantly.”
“So, when you became the inheritor of the Heavenly Pearl, I was woken up. I was muddle-headed for a few days after waking up and it was in those days that I met you. After I became clear-headed, I saw your process and how you were becoming stronger step by step. This is the reason why, instead of instantly breaking the restriction and recovering all my strength, I chose to release the restriction bit by bit and recover my strength slowly.”
Ye Xiao took a deep look at Queen before shifting his gaze elsewhere. He also understood the fact that even the Queen didn’t know the true culprit that ended the Ancient Era.
It was not the Ancient Samsara G.o.d but the Ancient Devil possessing the body of the Ancient Samsara G.o.d.
And because she was wandering around in the Great Star Continent, she doesn’t know that Ye Xiao is the one who killed the Ancient Devil possessing Ancient Samsara G.o.d’s body and even fought against the true Ancient Devil.
What surprised him was Queen’s mind. She was actually able to find out that all the Ancient Devils are just clones, or in other words, incarnations of Supreme Ancient Devil.
Ye Xiao got to know about this only after meeting the Supreme Ancient Devil, however, Queen had never met him but even so she was able to find this fact. She really is amazing. Ye Xiao’s impression of Queen increased once again.
Neverthless, this was not the end of his questions. It is just the start.
“The second question…” Ye Xiao asked again: “When I completed the Second Trial of the Primordial, you should have heard the conversation between me and senior Yuan Shan De, right?”
“Yes!” Queen nodded, saying: “And I also know what you want to ask. You must want to know how was it possible for me to communicate with Heavens even though Heavens was clearly very angry. But most importantly, how is it possible that Heavens already knew the fact that the destruction of Primordial Race is destined and how it will rise once again? You must want to know how the Heavens already knew about you tens of eras back, even before you were born. And even though it already knew about you, what is the reason that it didn’t take any action to stop you before you could become the inheritor of the Second Universe, right?”
“Right!” Ye Xiao subconsciously nodded his head and then he looked at Queen in surprise. He didn’t expect her to guess his questions.
