Tianjizi's smile froze for a moment, and after staring at Zhou Xingdou for a long while, he said in a low voice:

"You know my identity?"

Zhou Xingdou looked at the gleaming gold panel next to Tianjizi and smiled.

...

[Name]: Tianjizi

【fate】:

[Strength]: Peak Six-Star - Peak Seven-Star

[Identity]: Incarnation of the Heavenly Dao

...

The panel, which was originally full of question marks, has now revealed its true nature.

As for the identity of Tianjizi as the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, Zhou Xingdou had long suspected it, and now that the panel was open, it directly confirmed everything.

Back in the Four Heavenly Sacred Domains, when Zhou Xingdou guessed Xiao Tianzuo's future path to becoming the Heavenly Dao, he already had an idea.

Ancient Celestial Venerable, the oldest being in the Four Heavenly Sacred Domains, created the near-Heavenly Dao-integrating Heavenly Realm technique. If it weren't for Xiao Tianzuo, the World's Chosen One pushed out by the World's Will, the Heavenly Dao of the Four Heavenly Sacred Domains in the future would most likely be his.

This also reflects that the Way of Heaven is not necessarily a product of nature, but may be something that is achieved later in life.

Therefore, Zhou Xingdou also suspected the most ancient being in the primordial era, Tianjizi.

This Tianjizi, even though killing me would bring him no benefit and I haven't provoked him, he still wants to kill me.

When he was being hunted down, he kept talking about all living beings and the masses.

This is highly unusual; what does the common people have to do with Tianjizi?

It wasn't until the system said that the power of Heaven lies in all living beings that Zhou Xingdou confirmed Tianjizi's identity; he was very likely the Heavenly Dao itself.

Zhou Xingdou tilted his head slightly, staring intently at Tianjizi, but said nothing.

But Tianjizi's expression suddenly returned to calm:

"Whether it is an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao or not, it doesn't affect the outcome."

Zhou Xingdou shook his head and looked at Tianjizi:

"No, if you are not the Heavenly Dao, then even if I defeat you, I will not kill you, but will take you under my wing."

"But you are the Heavenly Dao..."

I will kill you!

After saying that, Zhou Xingdou revealed a cruel smile. Ten million Qi was the highest Qi he had ever seen, and he would never let it go.

Tianjizi suddenly burst into laughter:

"Hahaha, Zhou Dahuan's words are truly..."

"childish!"

Tianjizi's tone suddenly turned cold, and his snow-white hair billowed and danced wildly.

How could Zhou Xingdou be frightened by a projection that has no power at all?

But then he raised an eyebrow and smiled, added some yellow water to Tianjizi's teacup, and slowly said:

"Look, you're in a hurry again."

“You’re the one who wanted to talk. Now that I’m not angry, you’re getting angry. Doesn’t that go against your original intention?”

Tianjizi's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Zhou Xingdou with even more seriousness in his eyes, thinking to himself:

"I haven't seen this kid for twenty years, yet he can still stir my emotions. It seems he's no longer the child who was easily provoked."

Thinking of this, Tianjizi took a sip of the yellow liquid in his teacup, but his tone didn't improve much:

"Are you so confident that you can kill me?"

"You must remember that I twice pushed you to the brink of defeat, and even now, standing before you, you cannot do anything to me."

After saying this, Tianjizi laughed twice, seemingly in a good mood, and then drank a mouthful of yellow water.

But Zhou Xingdou, who had been mentioned twice by Tianjizi as being in a life-or-death situation, remained calm, with a half-smile on his face:

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll beat you to death sooner or later."

The old man and the young man looked at each other and smiled, but there was an icy chill in their smiles.

Stephen Chow stopped laughing, as if the atmosphere between the two of them, which had almost led to a table-flipping argument, had never happened. He earnestly asked for an explanation:

"I have another question, and I wonder if you could answer it?"

Tianjizi also stopped his cold laughter, adopting a pitiful and compassionate demeanor towards the common people:

“Zhou Dahuan, don’t be so reserved. Although you are a great threat, you were born without fault and will be eliminated by me in the future. I feel guilty towards you, so please ask me.”

Zhou Xingdou wasn't about to be provoked by a few words of provocation, so he simply ignored the unpleasant remarks and slowly asked:

"Why would Xuanjizi cooperate with you? I was once a Daoist of the Xuantian Dao Sect, so logically he should be on my side."

Tianjizi smoothed his white hair, his eyes narrowing slightly:

"This matter is top secret, and no one in the entire universe knows about it, but it doesn't matter if I tell you now."

“Xuanjizi is actually my younger brother.”

Zhou Xingdou's eyelids twitched, and he feigned surprise, asking in confusion:

"Oh? If I remember correctly, you are the oldest being in the Primordial Era, but Xuanjizi is only from the previous era."

Tianjizi stroked his beard and slowly began to speak:

"This is a long story. Xuanjizi and I were both embryos born at the beginning of the world. However, after I was born, Xuanjizi's embryo suffered an accident, which caused it to lose all its vitality and was unable to emerge."

At that time, I placed him in the Primordial Beginning, nourishing the embryo with the purest essence of the Primordial Beginning. Eventually, the Primordial Beginning transformed into the Primordial Dao Domain, and Xuanjizi was sealed away in the central underground of the Primordial Dao Domain.”

Stephen Chow frowned upon hearing this:

"After countless years of nurturing in the Primordial Dao Domain, Xuanjizi emerged from his shell, and the center of the Primordial Dao Domain where he was located became the mountain gate of the Xuantian Dao Sect, so he became a disciple of the Xuantian Dao Sect?"

Tianjizi nodded:

“Zhou Dahuan is intelligent. He and I are the only relatives in the world. As his elder brother, how could he not listen to me?”

"I see, thank you for clearing up my confusion."

The confusion between Zhou Xingdou's brows dissipated, but he still harbored some doubts about Tianjizi's words. He didn't doubt that Tianjizi was lying, but he suspected that Tianjizi had omitted many details. What he said might be true, but it wasn't the whole story.

But he didn't expose him. After all, it was already difficult enough for Tianjizi to say that he was a World-Born Embryo and that he was Xuanjizi's brother. Asking further would be pointless.

After all, the two are enemies.

Tianjizi stared at Zhou Xingdou for a long time before finally asking:

"I've said so much to you, Da Huan, shouldn't you also tell me where you've been these past twenty years?"

Zhou Xingdou didn't hide anything and said calmly:

"Going to the past."

Tianjizi's eyes narrowed:

"past?"

Stephen Chow nodded:

"At least 30 million years ago, and possibly even longer."

Tianjizi's eight-trigram pupils darted around strangely for a moment before he suddenly sighed and said:

"Inconceivable."

Then, there was a moment of silence. Zhou Xingdou didn't say anything, but silently added water for Tianjizi, who also remained silent in thought.

In the end, it was Zhou Xingdou who lost his composure, because Tianjizi had almost drunk up all the dog urine he had created using the void.

"Then you will not doubt whether I am lying."

Tianjizi shook his head:

“If Zhou Dahuan believes me, how could I not believe you? Besides, people like us only use words to set traps, but we don’t lie.”

Stephen Chow smiled slightly:

"Aren't you curious about how I got back to the past?"

Tianjizi did not deny it:

"You're curious, but you won't say it because the information I've given you isn't enough for you to speak, even the truth that contains linguistic traps."
