Ye Bai sized up the man in front of him.
The man was disheveled, like a prisoner in an ancient death row cell, with long hair falling down and his face full of shadows.
He was also sizing up Ye Bai, trying to see something in him.
"This sword..."
The man's gaze fell on the Heavenly King Sword at Ye Bai's waist, and his expression tightened.
“I recognize this sword.”
Ye Bai's expression froze.
This NPC, who calls himself a 'sinner,' actually knows the Heavenly King Sword?
There were some things Ye Bai didn't understand about the origin of the Heavenly King Sword.
According to what Ninth Master said back then,
When Wuhen entered the Eternal Forest, the Heavenly King Sword was already there.
The Heavenly King Sword was at least the weapon used by the God of War.
There are not many known war gods among the human race.
The top experts from an era before Second Brother were Ninth Master and his group!
Who exactly is the owner of the Heavenly King Sword?
Ye Bai has never had an answer to this question.
"Of course, it's possible that Ninth Master lied to me again..."
Ye Bai couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly.
That old liar, Ninth Master, never tells the truth.
Fortunately, as Ye Bai's strength continued to grow, he came into contact with more and more information.
The more flaws there are in the lies that Ninth Master weaves, the bigger the loopholes become.
Ye Bai picked up the Heavenly King Sword and asked,
"Do you know the origin of this sword?"
"right."
The man made no attempt to hide anything and spoke frankly.
"Your older brother took this sword; it was on this floor, didn't you know?"
Ye Bai, showing no embarrassment whatsoever, nodded and said,
“My older brother prefers me to explore on my own, and continues the story from the point of taking out the sword.”
With the Heavenly King Sword as evidence, the man's attitude towards Ye Bai improved considerably.
Although this person doesn't seem very reliable.
However, most of them are chosen by fate.
The man recalled,
"Your older brother said he's taking this sword out to give to a friend..."
friend?
Ye Bai fell silent. Why didn't he recognize which of his elder brother's friends?
Is it Lan Zhexian?
Lan Zhexian is definitely a master swordsman.
But Old Man Lan is still full of energy and jumping around.
If the Heavenly King Sword had truly once been in his hands, he would not have returned it to the Eternal Forest.
Lan Zhexian is a sword enthusiast; he wouldn't waste something like that.
The man frowned, pondered for a moment, and added,
"Your older brother mentioned that friend's surname seems to be Xue."
hiss--
All the cold air was sucked back in.
In an instant, Ye Bai felt a chill run down his spine.
This time it's really numb!
Surname Xue, a contemporary of Nightmare, who else could it be?
Big Mengzi's biological father!
A somewhat clear timeline slowly unfolded before Ye Bai's eyes:
A hundred years ago, Nightmare took the Heavenly King Sword from the twenty-third floor and gave it to Xue Meng's biological father.
Under the combined influence of the era of supreme power and the invasion of the demon race, Xue Meng's father's strength advanced by leaps and bounds, eventually achieving the position of the God of War.
He is most likely one of the earliest and most powerful war gods of the human race!
This achievement is incredibly impressive!
The Nightmare generation of powerful figures were like a constellation of stars, and countless others resembled protagonist archetypes.
Nightmare, Ninth Master, Madman Huo, Xue Meng's biological father, Lan Zhexian, Lan Tianqi...
Even someone as powerful as Lan Zhexian couldn't break through to the Heavenly War God level.
This shows just how difficult it is to become the God of War!
Strength, talent, opportunity, and so on—all are indispensable!
Every being who breaks through to the level of a Heavenly War God is one of the strongest individuals in the human race.
As far as Ye Bai knew, besides Nightmare, there were only three other Gods of War in that generation:
Ninth Master, Madman Huo, Xue Meng's biological father.
Ironically, these three individuals have all met with unfortunate ends.
Ninth Master is half-dead, Madman Huo is living a life worse than death, and Xue Meng's biological father's fate is unknown.
"In other words, among these three, Xue Meng's biological father was the first to break through, and he's at the forefront..."
Ye Bai pondered.
The generation of Ninth Master was always led by the strongest.
The disappearance of Da Mengzi's biological father was not only orchestrated by the Great Demon God.
More importantly, Xue Meng's biological father must accompany Nightmare to protect those behind him.
"That is why the Heavenly King Sword ended up in the Eternal Forest."
I understand now, I understand everything.
Tianwangjian wanted to return to the world and took the initiative to appear in front of Wuhen, but was rejected.
Xue Meng ventured into the Eternal Forest time and time again, trying to take away the Heavenly King Sword, but each time he returned empty-handed.
Besides wanting to use a sword, there was another reason:
This sword was a keepsake from his own father...
Ye Bai looked down at the Heavenly King Sword and suddenly felt that the plot was getting even more melodramatic.
Now that this sword is in my hands, won't it be a waste of my talents?
Just as Ye Bai was thinking this, the Heavenly King Sword let out a sword cry, extremely arrogant.
Ye Bai understood.
It wasn't that he chose the Heavenly King Sword, but rather... the Heavenly King Sword chose him!
In the Eternal Forest, Ye Bai took the Nightmare's Cloak instead of the Heavenly King Sword.
The Heavenly King Sword was very dissatisfied with this.
This dissatisfaction was clearly conveyed to Xiaoyao.
That's why Xiaoyao later intervened, making an exception and allowing each person to take two pieces of equipment.
The Heavenly King Sword was forcibly shoved into Ye Bai's arms.
Only by staying by Ye Bai's side could the Heavenly King Sword have a chance to strike the most powerful demon god.
Having understood the cause and effect, Ye Bai spoke to comfort him.
"It's okay, just kill him."
Ye Bai promised,
"You'll definitely be the one to finish off the last blow!"
The Heavenly King Sword nodded in satisfaction and returned to its calm state.
