The Little Immortal calmly shook his head and said, “The vastness of the world far exceeds your imagination. The troubles we and the Emperor Huangtian want to solve are not just one.”
“This is similar to your situation with the Four Directions Continent.”
“The outer Forbidden Grounds, the indigenous people of the Four Directions Continent, the local forces of the Eight Desolates Nine Domains, and some rogue forces lingering outside these three factions.”
“Each of these requires your attention when dealing with the Four Directions Continent.”
“Likewise, this grand world we are in has troubles that are not limited to just one.”
“The Emperor Huangtian has issued a ban, prohibiting anyone from telling you the truth about the world outside.”
“So I can only provide you with a rough introduction now.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng squinted.
“Is that brat Wu Li that influential?”
“Of course, he is the Emperor Huangtian.”
“That group with the Emperor Huangtian has already been driven mad with bloodlust; anyone who sees them will tremble in fear.”
“Our goals align with the Emperor Huangtian’s, so we naturally have to respect his ban.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng took out the tea set from the table and began brewing “bitter tea.”
“Since Wu Li has set a ban, why do you still dare to find me?”
“I have no choice but to find you. Our manpower is insufficient; it’s not just us who lack manpower, the Emperor Huangtian’s side is in the same situation.”
“But who told the Emperor Huangtian that you are such an excellent teacher?”
“Twenty-five thousand years ago, a hefty number of people went to support the Emperor Huangtian, and that truly made us envious.”
“To be honest, your reputation as an Undertaker is enormous outside this world.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng handed a cup of brewed bitter tea to the Little Immortal, then picked up a cup himself and began to sip leisurely.
“I don’t care about my reputation. I am more curious about what the world outside is really like.”
“Since Wu Li has set a ban preventing you from speaking, then I won’t make things difficult for you; just give me a rough introduction.”
Upon hearing this, the Little Immortal immediately smiled and said, “No problem, then I will properly explain it to you.”
“Where there is order, there is chaos. To be precise, there are always different ideologies in the world.”
“We and the Emperor Huangtian are facing the two strongest directions, and there are naturally others supporting the other directions.”
“But what is worrisome is that over twenty thousand years ago, a small direction was defeated.”
“If we don’t find someone to fill that void in time, that direction might become the enemy’s breakthrough point.”
After listening, Chen Changsheng put down his teacup and said, “So you want me to fill this gap?”
“Yes.”
“Are you not afraid that I might take the opportunity to learn some truths?”
“If you find out, then you find out. Our goal is to prevent you from dying, to keep you from being entangled in this chaotic situation.”
“To speak a bit more audaciously, if we and the Emperor Huangtian join forces to seal this off, you, Chen Changsheng, won’t be able to get through, and no one would dare let you pass.”
“Why?”
“It’s somewhat understandable that Wu Li doesn’t want me to get involved, but why do you feel the same way?”
“Talents are rare; we need a body collection person.”
“With your management, the Eight Desolates Nine Domains have flourished, and you have effortlessly taken down the Four Directions Continent.”
“The role you play in the rear is far greater than what you can contribute on the front lines.”
“If it weren’t for the urgent situation, we wouldn’t take the risk of offending the Emperor Huangtian to bring you out.”
Looking at the Little Immortal’s smiling face, Chen Changsheng said calmly, “What does ‘the root of the world’ mean?”
“Why did Zhang Zhen merge the Heavenly Mandate of two worlds, and in the end, why did it merge into one?”
“All Heavenly Mandate Holders will lose their own Heavenly Mandate after bearing the Heavenly Mandate; besides the fact that it will burn through a lot of potential, what other profound meanings are there?”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s questions, the Little Immortal leisurely sipped his tea, showing no signs of wanting to answer him.
A gentle prompt: For everyone’s convenience in selecting books, the website’s “Ranking” page has been optimized; everyone may take a look!
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng spoke up, “It seems you all think I am not qualified to know these secrets.”
“Indeed.”
“Isn’t that a bit condescending?”
“Are you really not afraid of annoying me, of turning against you?”
Upon hearing this, the Little Immortal set down his teacup and laughed, “The Emperor Huangtian doesn’t tell you the truth because he doesn’t want you to encounter danger.”
“The Forbidden Grounds don’t want to tell you the truth either because they fear you might dispute them after learning the truth.”
“We won’t tell you the truth because we believe you do not yet have the ability to bear that truth.”
“Once you step out, problems will arise on the back end, and issues will emerge at the Emperor Huangtian’s side as well. We don’t want to take that risk.”
“If you want to know the truth, it is merely to explore, and by the way, clear some potential obstacles for the Emperor Huangtian.”
“To this, I can only say that you underestimate the Emperor Huangtian and us far too much.”
“Before the arrival of the Emperor Huangtian, the two strongest directions were supported by us; the presence of the Emperor Huangtian has relieved us of half the pressure.”
“It is precisely because of this that I have the leisure to drink tea with you and the time to visit you amidst the chaos.”
Saying this, the Little Immortal paused, then looked earnestly at Chen Changsheng.
“Chen Changsheng, don’t explore the truth any further; at least not for now.”
“I hold your methods and courage in great respect.”
“Given your character, I am certain that once you know the truth, you will definitely intervene.”
“I won’t deny that your intervention might make the situation better, but I also can’t be certain that it won’t make it worse.”
“The truth of emotions is too vast, too much for even us and the Emperor Huangtian to bear.”
“So please understand us, at least for the time being.”
After listening to the Little Immortal’s words, Chen Changsheng clicked his tongue and said, “Alright, since we’ve talked to this point, pursuing further would seem inappropriate.”
“If you want me to come out, that’s fine, but you need to tell me what’s going on.”
“Just how urgent is the situation? Is the thing that can greatly extend life what you refer to?”
“The thing that extends life is indeed there, but it’s in the enemy’s hands.”
“Moreover, the situation there has deteriorated to the extreme. To deal with it, we need to mobilize at least one-third of our manpower.”
“Clearly, we cannot spare that much manpower, so you are going into action alone this time.”
“What about Wu Li’s side?”
“I will explain it. After all, this is unavoidable. If it truly reaches an irretrievable point, you can retreat.”
Receiving the Little Immortal’s answer, Chen Changsheng smiled.
“I didn’t expect that in your eyes, I hold such weight, enough to match one-third of your strength.”
“That’s obvious. Otherwise, why would I let your saliva get on my face?”
“Hahaha!”
“That makes sense!”
“Then what will I gain from this action? The thing that extends life needs me to seize it myself; surely you won’t pay nothing.”
“We can help you once. Regardless of the situation, as long as you speak, we will comply.”
“There’s still the account from last time that needs settling.”
“I can personally assist you once.”
“What’s the limit of your abilities?”
“Human strength is finite; we can’t handle every situation, but even if you want to k*ll the Emperor Huangtian now, we have some confidence.”
“A very generous price; I agree.”
