The Void.
Chen Changsheng and Bai Ze sat quietly on a meteorite, waiting.
During these three days, Bai Ze had cried until her eyes were red and finally fell into a deep sleep.
Chen Changsheng, however, remained motionless, sitting there for three days and three nights.
After an unknown period of time, a figure appeared in front of Chen Changsheng.
Looking at Chen Changsheng, that person was silent for a long while.
“The White Ze is a lucky beast. Now that it has voluntarily fallen asleep, it means something big must have happened.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng’s face showed no expression as he slowly stroked Bai Ze’s fur.
Seeing this, Little Immortal pursed his lips and said, “We lost.”
At these words, the seemingly lifeless Chen Changsheng finally spoke.
“It’s not a major problem; there are no undefeated generals in the world.”
“We can fight back again if we lose.”
Hearing this, Little Immortal said with pursed lips, “But we suffered a total defeat, and there is no chance of turning things around.”
“I can accept that. I, Chen Changsheng, am best at rising from the ashes.”
“As long as you want it, I have ways to make you fight again.”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s words, Little Immortal’s tone became even more somber.
“The Supreme Saint is dead.”
At these words, Chen Changsheng looked up at Little Immortal, his eyes as still as a stagnant pool.
“What did you just say? I didn’t hear clearly.”
“I said Nalan Xingde is dead, and he died along with his partner Gongsun Huaiyu!”
“That’s not a joke.”
“I’m not joking. He really is dead.”
“Crack!”
A crack appeared in the meteorite beneath Chen Changsheng’s feet. The usually calm Chen Changsheng finally showed some emotional fluctuation.
“Do you know what you’re saying?”
“He is the Supreme Saint, the ancestor of all scholars in the world.”
“He is unmatched in strategy and unparalleled in martial arts. How could he d*e, how could he possibly d*e!”
Seeing the somewhat deranged Chen Changsheng, Little Immortal sighed softly and said, “We never thought the Supreme Saint would d*e either.”
“After the incident happened, I worked with Emperor Huangtian to investigate for a long time, but we couldn’t find the exact cause.”
“Later, after the collapse of all battle lines except Emperor Huangtian’s, we naturally didn’t have the energy to investigate this matter anymore.”
“In a little while, Emperor Huangtian will return, and by then…”
“Don’t say any more.”
Chen Changsheng waved his hand weakly.
“I don’t blame you for Scholar’s d*ath. In war, people always d*e.”
“I’ll ask you one thing: Is Scholar’s d*ath directly or indirectly related to you?”
“No.”
“Then who is involved in Scholar’s d*ath?”
“The enemy, traitors, and some people I haven’t found leads on.”
“So you mean to say that Scholar was killed directly by the enemy, but you haven’t investigated the specific reasons behind it, right?”
“Yes.”
“Where are Scholar’s remains?”
[Note: If you like this book, please remember to add it to your favorites to avoid losing track of it next time.]
“Can’t be found.”
Receiving Little Immortal’s reply, Chen Changsheng grinned and said,
“Alright, I understand everything now. You don’t need to worry about anything else.”
“I will root out everyone who caused Scholar’s d*ath and exterminate their entire clan.”
“If I calculated correctly, there should be quite a few people I need to k*ll, so please don’t try to stop me when the time comes.”
“Whoever dares to stop me, I will put them in a coffin.”
“Scholar is already dead, I have no interest in understanding the truth of right and wrong. You should understand my feelings.”
Hearing this, Little Immortal said calmly, “Have you guessed the truth?”
“Of course I have. If I hadn’t guessed the truth, I would have already taken action with my magic treasure.”
“Exactly because I guessed the truth, I plan to k*ll everyone in this era.”
Chen Changsheng’s voice was soft, but his killing intent was unprecedentedly strong.
Seeing this, Little Immortal said, “How did you guess it?”
“It didn’t take much time to guess. After all, the forces recorded in the Bronze Ancient Palace are only a few.”
“By eliminating each possibility, I could eventually guess.”
“According to the records in the Bronze Ancient Palace, after the incident that occurred back then, it can roughly be divided into three factions.”
“These three factions are ‘Ancient Forebears,’ ‘Giant Hand,’ and ‘Unlucky.'”
“The role and identity of ‘Unlucky’ are already determined, so there’s no need to guess.”
“The only thing that can’t be determined is the mysterious ‘Giant Hand.'”
“For many years, whenever I had free time, I speculated on the identity of ‘Giant Hand.’ At one point, I even thought that your enemies were ‘Giant Hand.'”
“But if your enemies were ‘Giant Hand,’ then some things wouldn’t make sense, and it would feel awkward.”
“One day, I realized I was wrong. It was precisely because I corrected this mistake that I guessed the truth.”
Hearing this, Little Immortal said, “What mistake?”
“I subconsciously treated you as good people, or rather, I subconsciously treated us as good people.”
“In the story recorded in the Bronze Ancient Palace, the ‘Ancient Forebears’ were weak and oppressed.”
“When everyone sees this story, they subconsciously view them as brave rebels against fate.”
“In the end, every story ends with the hero defeating the dragon, justice triumphing over evil.”
“But stories are stories, and reality is reality.”
“In reality, justice doesn’t necessarily defeat evil, and heroes may not necessarily k*ll dragons.”
“So the aftermath of that story wasn’t that the ‘Ancient Forebears’ drove out the ‘Giant Hand,’ but that the ‘Giant Hand’ drove out the ‘Ancient Forebears.'”
“Only in this way can it explain why throughout the era, there have been people trying to downplay the existence of the Bronze Ancient Palace.”
“Because the existence of the Bronze Ancient Palace records a part of your ugly history.”
“As for why the Bronze Ancient Palace wasn’t completely destroyed, I think it’s because there were internal conflicts within your side.”
“Time has passed so long, the original Giant Hand should have died off.”
“And those born later don’t intend to continue the previous generation’s actions.”
“They plan to rewrite history and coexist with the Ancient Forebears.”
“All these situations combined created the special status of the Bronze Ancient Palace.”
“The Forbidden Ground doesn’t care about the Bronze Ancient Palace because they are already like cesspools and don’t care if there’s another scandal.”
“While those who continue the Giant Hand, although they share similar interests, want to cover up this history for the sake of their reputation.”
“But there are still some people who believe that if they want to be good, they should rewrite history.”
“To prevent the Bronze Ancient Palace from being destroyed, these people hid it away.”
“This speculation perfectly explains why some Bronze Ancient Palaces are in ruins, while others are well-preserved.”
