Chapter 566: Revealing Identity, Ma Ling’er Unravels the Threads
Chen Changsheng was studying the map, while Ma Ling’er sat silently on the ground.
The only sound came from Jian Fei’s wailing. After half a cup of tea’s time, Jian Fei finally stopped wailing with difficulty.
Looking at his body, Jian Fei was still in a daze.
“Wasn’t I dead?”
“You did d*e, but you’re alive now.”
Chen Changsheng glanced at Jian Fei and then put away the map.
“After living for so many years, not even knowing what you are, no wonder your cultivation has stagnated.”
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng walked up to Xu Yao and kicked her lying on the ground with his toe.
“Get up. Even if you were to ambush me now, it would be difficult.”
“Whoosh!”
Xu Yao instantly got up and quickly retreated with Ma Ling’er.
The black Xuan sword stood across her chest, and she assumed a defensive stance.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng smiled slightly and said, “Good vigilance, though a bit too clumsy.”
“If you could understand the true essence of the Black Xuan Sword, you wouldn’t be so embarrassed when facing Dragon Return.”
“Come over here, let me review today’s battle situation with you and see what foolish things you’ve done.”
Speaking, Chen Changsheng found a clean place to sit down.
Jian Fei hesitated for a moment but eventually came to Chen Changsheng obediently. However, Xu Yao and others remained standing.
“I told you to come over!”
The soul-piercing voice made both of them dizzy. Ma Ling’er dropped her Seven Wonders sword, and although Xu Yao’s legs were weak, she tightly held the Black Xuan sword.
Facing such terrifying strength, they ultimately came before Chen Changsheng.
The three sat obediently before Chen Changsheng, and the four reunited, though their identities had greatly changed.
“You lost this battle completely. What do you think about that?”
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, Ma Ling’er, who had regained her senses, spoke up, “Who exactly are you?”
“Does it matter who I am?”
“It does. Without understanding your identity, we cannot determine whether you are friend or foe.”
“Even if you saved us, it’s the same.”
Seeing Ma Ling’er speak like this, Jian Fei was anxious because he feared she might anger Chen Changsheng.
However, instead of getting angry, Chen Changsheng softly said, “I’m glad you have this attitude. I hope you can maintain it.”
“If you truly know history, you must know that twenty thousand years ago, Mountain River Academy produced a perfect child.”
“You are the perfect child from twenty thousand years ago!”
Ma Ling’er stood up excitedly.
Seeing Ma Ling’er’s excitement, Chen Changsheng nodded and said, “That’s right, I am the perfect child.”
“I initiated the Reincarnation War, created the Sword Qi Great Wall, and led Qian Ya to become the God of Wealth.”
“In the long river of history, I played many roles, and many people received my guidance.”
“Because of this, you couldn’t find out my identity.”

“Because the historians who wrote the history books didn’t want my life to be disturbed, they erased my existence from the records.”
“I gave you clues about the Sword Qi Great Wall to help you find my identity through it.”
“But your vision is short-sighted; you only investigated recent times and did not look further back in time.”
“Tell me, where did the Sword Qi Great Wall come from?”
At these words, cold sweat dripped from Ma Ling’er’s forehead.
Seeing this, Xu Yao beside her asked, “Ling’er, is there any problem with the origins of the Sword Qi Great Wall?”
In response to Xu Yao’s question, Ma Ling’er swallowed hard and said dully, “There’s nothing wrong with the origin of the Sword Qi Great Wall, but the time period related to it has problems.”
“Phoenix Emperor restarted the Heavenly Court, and the Phoenix Emperor’s teacher was the Jade Emperor of ancient times.”
“The Nine Domains were not always like this. Back then, the Nine Domains were divided into Upper and Lower Realms, and the Jade Emperor of ancient times was born in that era.”
“Later, for some reason, a world-shattering war occurred, shattering the entire world.”
“After the fragments of the world reassembled, the current Nine Domains were formed, and we also refer to that war as the ‘Battle of Extinction.'”
“I once saw a fragmentary ancient book that mentioned the Heavenly Court’s founder spent countless treasures to build an impregnable fortress.”
“This fortress is now the Sword Qi Great Wall. However, according to other historical records, the Jade Emperor was in seclusion at that time.”
Hearing this, Jian Fei thought for a moment and said, “Is there anything wrong with this?”
“What kind of status does the Jade Emperor hold? When he issues orders, people naturally follow them.”
“You’re thinking too simply.”
Ma Ling’er immediately denied Jian Fei’s speculation and said excitedly, “To build such an impregnable fortress.”
“It’s impossible for ordinary people alone to achieve this, as there would be countless obstacles and problems during the process.”
“At that time, someone needed to make decisions. Since the Jade Emperor was in seclusion, how could he handle these trivial matters?”
“This proves that another person was sitting in the Jade Emperor’s position, making all the decisions.”
“However, this person’s existence was deliberately erased. From the historical records, this person seems never to have existed.”
“But if you broaden your perspective and look at the entire historical timeline, you will find that some positions were left vacant.”
Hearing this, Xu Yao thought for a moment and said, “I’ve read quite a lot of history, but I haven’t noticed any vacant positions.”
“That’s because your mind isn’t focused on this.”
Ma Ling’er looked at Xu Yao, her mouth twitching uncontrollably.
“I’ve always had doubts about this issue, but I’ve never dared to ask or say.”
“No, just tell me quickly! Are you trying to drive me crazy with suspense?”
Facing Xu Yao’s urging, Ma Ling’er said solemnly, “Xu Yao, who taught your father his skills?”
“My father’s skills were naturally taught by my grandfather!”
“Not entirely,” Ma Ling’er shook her head and said, “To be more precise, not completely.”
“Everyone knows that the History of the World’s No. 1 Spring clearly states that Senior Xu Mao indeed achieved great accomplishments.”
“But forgive me for saying this, given Senior Xu Mao’s circumstances, he was unable to teach such an unparalleled master like the Ice Fire Immortal King.”
“All of your father’s past is recorded in the History of the World’s No. 1 Spring.”
“You should know what his early life was like and what his later life was like.”
“Have you not noticed that his life underwent a complete transformation from a certain point in time?”
