"The current situation of the Primordial Gods..." Shi Zhong remained silent.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't talk about this kind of thing with outsiders. Although Lin Yun said that he was a member of the Primordial God Clan in his previous life, who knows if that's true? If the enemy is deliberately saying this to try and get information out of him, then if he says something he shouldn't, he'll be in big trouble!

Moreover, the other party was a primordial god, which was ultimately a past life. In this life, the other party is a genuine acquired god, who cultivated himself step by step from an ordinary cultivator!

Who knows where the other person's heart still lies?

However, for some reason, he had a vague feeling that he trusted the other person completely, as if he could talk to them about anything.

In fact, he didn't know that this was the result of the Heavenly Dao Tower's enslavement, making the enslaved people naturally believe in the master of the Heavenly Dao Tower. This was only because Lin Yun hadn't actively controlled it; otherwise, he could have directly had the Heavenly Dao Tower change the minds of the people without any problem.

However, Lin Yun refrained from doing so, considering that the other party belonged to the innate god race who were still fighting against the acquired god race, and that the other party also had a good temperament.

"I wonder when you were reincarnated? The situation of the Primordial God Clan is very bad now. Of the 108 Primordial God Clan members, almost 50 have been wiped out, leaving only a few. Of the remaining members, more than 30 have surrendered to the Acquired God Clan, leaving only 21 members to lead the remaining Primordial God Clan and still struggling to hold on, but they are about to give up. We originally had five peak God Realm experts, but now only three remain..." At this moment, Shi Zhong sighed and slowly said.

"Are there still twenty-one members of the Primordial God Clan persisting?" Lin Yun's eyes lit up as he asked.

This information was better than he had expected. At the time, he was in seclusion cultivating during the war between the old and new gods, and by the time he learned of it, the war had already progressed to its later stages.

At that time, the new gods had already gained momentum, and the innate gods were suffering repeated defeats. When he emerged from seclusion, the final great battle had just begun. Before he could understand much, he witnessed a very tragic scene.

One by one, familiar powerful figures fell, including some of his brothers, sisters, friends, relatives, and elders. Before he could learn more, he was targeted by two peak Divine Realm cultivators, seriously injured, and then sent into reincarnation by his father.

Before his reincarnation, he saw that his father was also on the verge of death.

At the time, he thought that with the battle escalating to that point, after his father and his group of top experts from the Primordial God Clan perished, there probably wouldn't be many other Primordial God Clan members left.

I didn't expect there to be so much left.

"Are there more than thirty innate god races that have defected to the acquired god race? Did they defect before the war or after the war?" After a pause, Lin Yun's pupils shrank slightly, and he asked in a deep voice.

He remembered that some of the innate gods had defected to the acquired gods as soon as the war began.

Often, it is not the enemy who is most hateful, but the traitor. Although those acquired gods are also traitors, the innate gods and the acquired gods are ultimately different, with differences in resource allocation and status.

Furthermore, those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts; it is not incomprehensible that those acquired gods betrayed us.

If those innate gods surrendered to the enemy after the war, it's understandable. Even ants try to survive, let alone those innate gods who each possess endless lifespans and boundless power. It's normal for them not to want to die.

However, if those innate gods surrendered before the war, then that was a true betrayal.

“Some defected before the war, and some defected after the war…” Shi Zhong said.

Then, he recounted the names of the tribes that had surrendered before the war, the tribes that had surrendered after the war, and some powerful individuals.

At this moment, he also vaguely guessed that when this senior fell in his previous life, the war between the innate gods and the acquired gods had not yet developed much, or rather, the other side had not participated much and did not know much about it.

It's just unclear how this senior perished in his previous life.

"The God of a Hundred Flowers, the God of a Thousand Eyes, the God of Golden Armor..." Lin Yun narrowed his eyes and recited the names one by one.

These names are the titles of the powerful figures mentioned in the stone. Each one is a top-tier divine realm expert at the peak of the divine realm, or a top-tier innate divine race expert who joined the acquired divine race early on.

Such powerful individuals are extremely rare among countless divine beings. As the crown prince of the divine race, he interacts with the high-ranking members of the divine race every day, so he naturally knows these powerful individuals. In fact, he has had many dealings with the Hundred Flower God King and the Thousand Eyes God Lord, and he has a very good impression of those two powerful individuals.

Unexpectedly, the other side betrayed their Primordial God Clan first.

It's true that you can know a person's face but not their heart. Although cultivators can sense the spiritual energy emitted by others and can sense whether the other person's thoughts are good or bad through that spiritual energy.

There are still some oversights.

“By the way, Your Majesty the Divine Emperor…” Lin Yun thought about something, and finally, he looked up at Shi Zhong and spoke.

As he said this, a hint of nervousness flashed across his face. Before he was sent into reincarnation, he saw his father reach the point of exhaustion. At that time, there were still many powerful cultivators of the acquired god race at the peak of the god realm, while there were very few peak god realm cultivators of their innate god race.

Furthermore, the leader of the acquired god race had been observing the battle without making a move. As the leader of the acquired god race, his strength was naturally considerable. It could be said that he was extremely strong among the peak god realm cultivators. By all accounts, his father's chances of survival were slim.

But in the end, a sliver of hope arose in his heart.

What if his father is alright?

His father was an ancient god from the time of creation. Countless top experts in the divine realm had fallen, and so many heaven-defying innate gods with nine divine runes had perished, yet his father had survived and become the emperor of all innate gods. His methods were naturally extraordinary.

Perhaps, this time, his father also survived?

“His Majesty the Divine Emperor…” A hint of struggle flashed across Shi Zhong’s face.

This information was absolutely a major secret among their innate divine race. If he hadn't been a noble among the innate divine race, and if it hadn't been at such a critical moment, he would never have known it.

Reason told him that he absolutely could not casually tell this information to other cultivators, even if this cultivator was now his master, and in his previous life he was likely a powerful being from the Primordial God Clan, and in this life he still had an irreconcilable hatred for those cultivators from the Acquired God Clan.

However, he always felt an urge to speak out.

"Hmm? Is His Majesty the Divine Emperor alright?" Seeing Shi Zhong's reaction, Lin Yun asked excitedly. As he spoke, he quickly activated the Heavenly Dao Tower's power to enslave Shi Zhong.

As Lin Yun subtly exerted his strength, Shi Zhong's struggling expression was quickly suppressed. He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "I will tell this matter to you, senior. You must promise Shi Zhong that this matter must not be spread!"

"Alright, go ahead and tell me. I won't tell anyone about this!" Seeing that Shi Zhong was still so determined despite being affected by the power of the Heavenly Dao Tower's enslavement, Lin Yun's expression also became solemn. He nodded slightly and said.

“Some time ago, the Azure Lotus Divine Lord said that His Majesty the Divine Emperor once left behind a drop of his essence blood, but the consciousness in this drop of essence blood was severely damaged, making it impossible for His Majesty the Divine Emperor to recover quickly. Now, the consciousness in this drop of essence blood is gradually awakening…” Shi Zhong’s expression changed, and he said in a deep voice.

The Azure Lotus Divine Lord is one of the peak divine realm cultivators who is still holding on among their innate divine race.

It's clear that he was still struggling with his emotions when he said these words, because this matter was extremely important, as it concerned whether their innate divine race could rise again.

If the cultivators of the Acquired God Clan were to learn of this, they would surely launch a large-scale attack against them. Over the years, they have been well aware that the higher-ups of the Acquired God Clan have not launched a major offensive against them, not because they are afraid of harming themselves, but because they want to slowly coerce and try to subdue them.

One of their peak Divine Realm experts was subdued by the other party in this way.

However, if the other side knew that their God Emperor still had a chance of being resurrected, they would most likely not wait any longer, because once the God Emperor was resurrected, it might reunite the hearts of the remaining innate gods.

"What! What did you say?!" Upon hearing Shi Zhong's words, Lin Yun's expression changed drastically. He suddenly flashed in front of Shi Zhong, grabbed Shi Zhong's collar with one hand, and exclaimed.

His father, the emperor, still had a trace of his life essence that could bring him back to life.

Lin Yun's voice trembled slightly.

This means that as long as there are enough resources, his father will be resurrected and restored to his original level. If he doesn't lose his magic weapons and trump cards, it won't be difficult for him to regain his original strength.

Of course, restoring his original strength is secondary; the important thing is that his father is not dead and can be resurrected.

"Senior, you..." Seeing Lin Yun's strong reaction, Shi Zhong's expression changed, and he said in fear.

That sliver of enslavement power was not controlled by the spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower, but rather by Lin Yun. As Lin Yun became emotionally agitated, that sliver of enslavement power weakened considerably, instantly clearing Shi Zhong's mind.

Although he didn't realize that Lin Yun was the one in charge, he was still shocked by the information he revealed; it was truly earth-shattering news.

According to Qinglian Divine Lord, even the few peak divine realm cultivators who left later did not know about this matter; only Qinglian Divine Lord knew.

It was only recently that the Azure Lotus Divine Lord told them about this matter, because their morale was extremely low. Even so, the Azure Lotus Divine Lord only told this information to the cultivators among them who had more talent and potential.

They generally didn't tell the innate gods who were at the intermediate level of the divine realm.

At this moment, he actually revealed this information, and Shi Xin secretly regretted it.

"Is this true or false?" Lin Yun stared intently at Shi Zhong and asked in a deep voice. As he spoke, he activated the enslavement power once again and carefully sensed Shi Zhong's reaction as he spoke.

"This matter was said by the Azure Lotus Divine Lord himself. As for whether it is true or not, only the Azure Lotus Divine Lord should know..." Now that things have come to this point, there is no way to hide it anymore, so he can only continue. Shi Xin smiled bitterly, thought for a moment, and said.

However, subconsciously, he didn't say anything too certain about the matter. Although he couldn't be sure about it in the first place, his saying it was largely due to his subconscious desire to hide it.

Otherwise, he could have simply said that this matter was absolutely true, and that it was indeed said by the Azure Lotus Divine Lord himself.

"Azure Lotus Divine Lord..." Lin Yun frowned slightly.

He began to recall the powerful Qinglian Divine Lord.

To be honest, he didn't have much interaction with the Azure Lotus Divine Lord, mainly because the Azure Lotus Divine Lord rarely appeared in public and was mostly in seclusion. He only knew that the other party's strength was extremely powerful among the peak Divine Realm experts, and even his father, the Emperor, highly praised him.

Furthermore, the Azure Lotus God had a good relationship with his father, perhaps because the latter was also a primordial deity who existed since the beginning of time. At that time, the former was an azure lotus in the chaos.

At that time, the other party knew his father. Later, his father became the emperor of the innate gods, which was also largely due to the great help of the Azure Lotus God.

According to what his father once told him, among his father's subordinates, or rather friends, the most reliable one was undoubtedly the Azure Lotus Divine Lord.

"Before the Azure Lotus Divine Lord told you, did other peak Divine Realm experts also know about this?" Thinking this, Lin Yun looked up at Shi Zhong again and asked.

"According to Qinglian Divine Lord, other peak Divine Realm experts are unaware of this, just like those peak Divine Realm experts who later left the Innate Divine Race and joined the Acquired Divine Race. Otherwise, the Acquired Divine Race would have known about this long ago. However, after Qinglian Divine Lord spoke of it this time, many cultivators among our Innate Divine Spirits have learned about it..." Shi Zhong shook his head and said.

Lin Yun's expression changed.

The worst thing is when too many people know about something. Now, many cultivators among the innate gods know about this matter. So, how long can it be kept secret?

If the higher-ups of the Later Gods find out about this, will they launch a large-scale attack on the Innate Gods?

However, even if the God Clan knew about this, they probably wouldn't act rashly before knowing the whereabouts of that drop of essence blood.

For a time, Lin Yun was in a state of flux, on the one hand deducing all possible scenarios, and on the other hand worrying about the safety of his father, the emperor.

"Is what the Azure Lotus Divine Lord said true or false, or does the Azure Lotus Divine Lord have other purposes..." After a moment, Lin Yun forcibly suppressed the agitation in his heart and frowned slightly.

At this moment, Lin Yun noticed that Shi Zhong, who was opposite him, still looked very uneasy.

He sighed inwardly.

After several exchanges, he was convinced that the stone contained good qualities.

Come to think of it, if he weren't of good character, he probably wouldn't have been able to persevere until now.

"Don't worry too much. Since the Azure Lotus Divine Lord has told so many of you about this, he must have been prepared for the news to leak out someday. In fact, he might have told you this on purpose, hoping that one of you would leak it out..." Lin Yun comforted the other party.

"What? How is that possible?" Shi Zhong exclaimed in surprise.
