“Your words may work to coax those young girls who are inexperienced in the world, but they won’t work on me. Xi’er and I are fine now, and we don’t need your protection.” Shen Xi glanced at Yun Che with disdain on her face. She didn’t take Yun Che’s oath seriously at all.
Yun Che: (＃￣～￣＃)
Am I really so untrustworthy? Yun Che muttered to himself.
"The owner of that voice was an old man. Now that I think about it carefully, the timing of his appearance was too coincidental. It happened to be when Xi'er was in trouble. I was so panicked at the time that I didn't even think about whether what he said was right. This is definitely not a coincidence." Shen Xi continued.
"An old man?" Yun Che couldn't help but frown, a thought flashing through his mind. He vaguely remembered hearing from the Evil Infant that an old man had appeared before her, telling her her true mission, and that was when the Evil Infant's power was fully unleashed. Could it be that these two were the same person?
However, the time span between the Evil Infant back then and Shen Xi today is a full million years... In today's Primal Chaos World, no one except a True God could survive for such a long time... Moreover, under the constraints of the current Heavenly Dao, no one can cultivate to become a True God... None of this makes sense...
“Have you thought of something?” Shen Xi looked at Yun Che’s stunned expression, knowing that he must have thought of some key clue.
“Let me sort this out again. I seem to have missed a very important point.” Yun Che said as he sat down, tightly closing his eyes and sinking into deep thought.
As a True God, Shen Xi was able to transmit information to her without her noticing. Such a being must be at least of True God caliber. Shen Xi had been trapped in the Forbidden Land of Samsara for a million years, never leaving the place and rarely interacting with other members of the God Realm. Common sense would have made it impossible for her to come into contact with such a mysterious being.
This meant that this "true god" could only have been lurking beside Shen Xi since ancient times, simply hiding himself well and never revealing himself. However, this didn't make sense. Shen Xi was connected to the Heaven-Slaying Ancestral Sword. How could a "true god," no matter how powerful, possibly lurk within it?
Shen Xi had narrowly escaped the apocalypse by becoming the sword spirit of the Ancestral Sword of Heaven-Slaying. Her spirit had completely merged with the Ancestral Sword, the two inseparable. Just what kind of being could have silently entered the Ancestral Sword of Heaven-Slaying and transmitted a message to Shen Xi...
According to the Evil Infant's account, the old man she met knew her true mission was the purification of humanity, and he also caused the Evil Infant's power to undergo a transformation, allowing it to evade the detection of many Demon Emperors and achieve this...
If this old man is the same person that the Evil Infant met!
Then there is only one answer!
Yun Che suddenly stood up, an unprecedented look of shock on his face. He looked around and called out to Li Suo, who set up a barrier filled with luminous profound energy around him and Shen Xi.
“The only one who can silently connect to the Ancestral Sword of Heaven Slaying and know the mission of the Evil Infant is the Ancestral Sword of Heaven Slaying!” Yun Che said solemnly.
After piecing together all the clues, he discovered something that shocked him greatly: the Ancestral Sword Spirit of the Heaven-Slaying Sword had not self-annihilated as the Heaven-Slaying God Emperor had claimed, but had instead concealed itself under the guise of "self-destruction." This was similar to his "faked death" in the abyss. Furthermore, the Ancestral Sword Spirit had, through unknown means, completely broken free from the constraints of the Heaven-Slaying Sword, becoming a completely new entity, constantly wandering freely in the chaotic world!
"What are you talking about?" Shen Xi heard Yun Che's exclamation, her brows furrowed tightly. She didn't quite understand how Yun Che had come to this conclusion, but she heard the words "Ancestral Sword Spirit" with incredible clarity. "Are you saying that the old man is the original Ancestral Sword Spirit of Zhutian?"
“That’s right!” Yun Che nodded vigorously. “To be able to deliver this message to you without you noticing, and without being discovered, he must have some connection to the Ancestral Heaven Slaying Sword. Combined with the Evil Infant’s words and the memory images left by the Heretic God, I am even more certain that he is the first generation Ancestral Heaven Slaying Sword Spirit.”
“That’s absolutely impossible!” Shen Xi denied Yun Che’s speculation without hesitation. “If the sword spirit from back then was still around, there’s no way I could become the new sword spirit of the Heaven Slaying Ancestral Sword. Furthermore, after becoming the sword spirit, there’s no way I wouldn’t be aware of anything.”
After Shen Xi became the new spirit of the Zhutian Ancestral Sword, she was sealed within the Well of Samsara along with the sword, trapped there ever since, unable to leave. Only those who truly became sword spirits would be subject to such restrictions, so Shen Xi was absolutely certain that she was the only one left as the Zhutian Ancestral Sword Spirit, and there could be no second one.
In everyone's cognition, no artifact will give birth to two spirits at the same time. This is indisputable common sense.
“The current situation is indeed somewhat bizarre. However, before you make a judgment, let me first tell you the facts revealed in the Heretic God’s memories.” Yun Che then told Shen Xi everything related to the truth of that year without reservation.
In reality, Shen Xi was not completely ignorant of that past. She had personally experienced that calamity and had some understanding of the Evil Infant, but she had never imagined that such a shocking secret was hidden within it.
"I never imagined that the Heaven-Slaying God Emperor harbored such a heavy secret. It seems the world has misjudged him..." Shen Xi said with a touch of shame. She had actually always harbored resentment towards the Heaven-Slaying God Emperor.
“If I continue to analyze it according to my line of thought, since the Sword Spirit of the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword was able to deceive the Heaven-Slaying God Emperor back then, then why can’t he deceive you? Although I don’t know exactly what methods he used, all signs indicate that he is the mastermind behind all this.” Yun Che’s expression gradually became grim, and the haze in his heart became thicker.
